| unop | gluonman, well, each individual router make/model has a different way of doing this -- have a look for port fowarding/virtual servers/application servers/ etc | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| gluonman | unop, I'm looking into it. | 00:00 |
| computer | how do i kill a program? | 00:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | integrand: can you put your error in pastebin and ask again here | 00:01 |
| hendrixski | GGRRRR, why does Ubuntu default to GCJ when it needs java stuff? It's crap! Now... if I just install regular Java does that overwrite GCJ? | 00:01 |
| unop | computer, the kill command itself | 00:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | computer: killall [program name] | 00:01 |
| integrand | Pirate_Hunter, it's one line | 00:01 |
| darkus | hi | 00:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | integrand: what does it say | 00:02 |
| darkus | how to update the codecs? | 00:02 |
| unop | computer, Pirate_Hunter, that would kill a lot more than one tho | 00:02 |
| usser | hendrixski, sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:02 |
| integrand | Error: can't read block 179954 from image (135194480) | 00:02 |
| hendrixski | usser, ah, I'll try that | 00:02 |
| computer | how do i get process id? | 00:02 |
| computer | to kill program | 00:02 |
| genii | computer: ps ax | 00:02 |
| unop | computer, pidof program | 00:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: yah it would kill the program and its threads i.e. killall xchat etc otherwise they coudl use kill ahhhhh well it depends on them | 00:02 |
| genii | or that | 00:03 |
| usser | hendrixski, i think its for jre not for jdk though try javac or jdk or something like taht | 00:03 |
| hendrixski | usser, SWEET. yeah, now when I type in java -version it's got the right one | 00:03 |
| hendrixski | usser, I'll do those too | 00:03 |
| asala | Enter text here... | 00:03 |

| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| asala | gdkkhl | 00:03 |
| asala | hi | 00:03 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, errm, that's not technically accurate -- it kills all programs that match the given name - whether the threads are also terminated depends on what signal was passed to killall | 00:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: since i dont have ubuntu dekstop i dont do thigns the same as everyone else with the whole gui thing which i miss but yeah cli is just as good so id top "just remeber need to try htop" | 00:04 |
| hendrixski | usser, nope, none of those other ones are "known arguments" | 00:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: true you explain things better | 00:04 |
| asala | sxs | 00:04 |
| gyaresu | computer: Pirate_Hunter You can also just use 'pkill -9 mysq' and it will make a good guess and kill mysqlclient or whatever | 00:04 |
| asala | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 00:04 |
| usser | hendrixski, the first one did it then, do u want to compile java programs or something? | 00:05 |
| unop | gyaresu, -9 should hardly ever be necessary tho | 00:05 |
| saiki | . | 00:05 |
| saiki | damn network lol | 00:05 |
| hendrixski | usser, I want to write GRails apps | 00:05 |
| gyaresu | unop: Make sure it goes down though. The main reason one wants to manually kill something... | 00:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gyaresu: just find it dodgy that you said it would make a good guess and kill the app but yeah havent tried that willt ry from now on | 00:05 |
| gluonman | unop, is there a way to get around the router's authentication if I don't have access to it's username and password settings? | 00:05 |
| hendrixski | and when I saw that "apt-get install groovy" installed GCJ on my server I googled "GCJ grails" and the first few pages are just problems and headaches | 00:06 |
| unop | gyaresu, pkill -1 should do it, -9 does not give the process a chance to cleanup it's act and terminate properly | 00:06 |
| arrrghhh | so i've tried the restricted driver manager first, and that broke X. i tried the nvidia binary which has worked previously on this system, that broke X. i don't know what else to try! | 00:06 |
| unop | gluonman, hmm, if you don't remember changing the password, you could consult the router's documentation - should be available from the vendor's website | 00:07 |
| arrrghhh | gluonman, if you have a router you can't access, there's a reset button on the device to put it back to factory defaults. | 00:07 |
| gluonman | unop, it seems like the defaults should be un: admin pss: admin. But according to my roommate who originally set up the router, she changed the username and password but kept no record of the information. | 00:07 |
| * Pirate_Hunter am i the only one hating deluge 0.9.05, why do programs take options that are useful :'X | 00:08 | |
| Vexiq | hey guys. I got a question.. how can I get my sound working again in firefox? and in VLC cause the only media players that play sound are the ones that came standard with Ubuntu :)? | 00:08 |
| atha | hello, after installing kubuntu on virtualbox i cant mange to have sound in guest... | 00:08 |
| gluonman | arrrghhh, I forgot about that. | 00:08 |
| arrrghhh | gluonman, usually on the back near the WAN port. | 00:08 |

| ShdwShinobi | can someone help me with this? | 00:11 |
| NSsmiles | how? | 00:11 |
| NSsmiles | ? | 00:11 |

| saiki | anyone know how to connect a USB device to VMware? | 00:12 |
| meoblast | ok i feel like helping ppl today | 00:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: that is normal at least for me it is, if login screen pops up afterwards your good to go | 00:12 |
| droopsta915 | I cant sign in to ubuntu, unless its in failsafe gnome. What can I do to log in normal mode, Itype in the username and password and the screen restarts to the login | 00:12 |
| droopsta915 | no errors, one partition | 00:12 |
| ShdwShinobi | Pirate_Hunter, the login screen never pops up. I can get to a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+1 | 00:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | meoblast: thats the spirit "every little help" | 00:13 |
| hendrixski | saiki, I think I tried that before... I totally forget if it worked or not. | 00:13 |
| === stunatra_ is now known as stunatra | ||
| meoblast | droopsta915: does it do this consistantly? | 00:13 |
| saiki | hendrixski: it shows the ability, maybe I need to put somehting ELSE in in ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| arrrghhh | droopsta915, you're gnome config in /home is probably hosed. can you create another user and login with the newly created user? | 00:13 |
| hendrixski | saiki, yeah, I remember there was the option for it in the software but it didn't intuitively work... like only one thing could mount it at a time | 00:14 |
| red | My sound isn't working on this laptop. It's not muted. I still get system beeps, so I know the speaker isn't shot. The sound card is an integrated Intel 82801FB. Can anyone help me?/ | 00:14 |
| hendrixski | saiki, IIRC you have to unmount the USB from Ubuntu for it to show up in VMWare | 00:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: did you do a network insatll or a normal install of ubuntu? if you did normal install when booting do you get any messages that could be errors and does it send you straight to bash (cli) if so have you tried command startx | 00:14 |
| meoblast | arrrghhh: wouldnt it be better to use root for this job instead of just making a new user | 00:14 |
| XVampireX | Hey | 00:15 |
| trippss | ok - I must have clicked something/hit some key - now my firefox window is permanently partially transparent. running hardy and compiz | 00:15 |
| arrrghhh | meoblast, no, you should NEVER Login as root. | 00:15 |
| === neuro|irssi is now known as neuro_ | ||
| meoblast | arrrghhh: i know but how do you edit the files as non-root | 00:15 |
| arrrghhh | meoblast, edit what files? | 00:15 |
| droopsta915 | it does this every day I also reinstalled twice | 00:15 |
| hendrixski | meoblast, yeah dude, running as root is like a sin punishable by disembowlement | 00:15 |
| Druui | what a interesting experience of... partitioning. | 00:15 |
| meoblast | im one not to like root logins | 00:15 |
| red | Oh, yeah, this is a relatively fresh Hardy install. No sound since before the install. | 00:15 |
| ShdwShinobi | Pirate_Hunter, I did a normal install. I got no errors, and it keeps me at the black screen. Doesn't send me to bash. When I run startx, it says the xserver is already running. | 00:15 |
| hendrixski | meoblast, sudo | 00:15 |
| XVampireX | There's a little question, not really related to ubuntu itself (Although in ubuntu) I'm not sure if it's a bug but in archive manager there's this thing where when I click on extract button and then again on extract it doesn't let me until I reopen the folder... | 00:15 |
| genii | droopsta915: Likely a permisssions problem | 00:16 |
| Vexiq | I dont want to be rude here but is there no one that can help me with the sound problem? | 00:16 |
| saiki | trippss: hold shift and use the mosewheel one way of the other | 00:16 |
| meoblast | i have a question | 00:16 |
| gluonman | unop, the router's website will not reveal what the factory defaults are. | 00:16 |
| arrrghhh | Vexiq, we're volunteers. we do our best, but you haven't paid anyone any money. | 00:16 |
| trippss | saiki, that doesn't seem to help | 00:16 |
| droopsta915 | vexiq u check the sound card? | 00:16 |
| arrrghhh | gluonman, what make/model | 00:16 |
| saiki | trippss: try alt then | 00:16 |
| trippss | saiki, ah! that's it. thanks! | 00:16 |
| === npope_ is now known as npope | ||
| trippss | that's cool | 00:17 |
| meff | in general with linux should the bios option "pnp os installed" be enabled or disabled? | 00:17 |
| unop | gluonman, you should be able to tell what make and model by looking at the back/bottom of the router | 00:17 |
| gluonman | arrrghhh, Westel C90-610010-06 | 00:17 |
| crabgrass | how do i exit a man page? | 00:17 |

| crabgrass | thanks! | 00:17 |
| unop | crabgrass, crtl+c | 00:17 |
| saiki | trippss: np :) | 00:17 |
| trippss | saiki, does that affect the normal behavior of the window going transparent after a period of time? | 00:17 |
| arrrghhh | gluonman, eek wth is that lol 1 sec | 00:17 |
| atha | how do i setup sound in xubuntu running from virtualbox? | 00:17 |
| usser | meff, should be on since linux is pnp but i never actually seen this option affect anything at all | 00:17 |
| unop | gluonman, so - now you can get the documentation for the router from the vendor's website | 00:17 |
| Vexiq | droopsta915, sound card works. standard media players in Ubuntu work. only Firefox and VLC and the like do not work. I've b een asking this question for 3 days and kept checking google but no good answer | 00:17 |
| gluonman | unop, as I would also expect, but no such luck | 00:18 |
| meff | mmka, thanks usser | 00:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: no error/normal messages when booting than it sends you straight to a black screen with nothing on it? sound like you havent got a windows manager and what you see is xorg but that aint right cause xorg allows command input | 00:18 |
| unop | gluonman, http://www.westell.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=186&arcsection=support | 00:19 |

| equim- | hello, I'm hoping someone can help me... I've just applied the updates from the last month or so to my mythbuntu box - it wanted to reboot to finish and now my network interface has disappeared | 00:21 |
| meoblast | my sister tried upgrading to hardy last night and it said "13 minutes remaining" for 6 hours so she x'd it out.. now GDM wont work.... should i just do "dpkg -reconfigure -a" and then "apt-get dist-upgrade" ? | 00:21 |
| hendrixski | equim-, that's odd. The reboot only happens during Kernel updates... those happen about once every ... oh, 2 months. | 00:22 |
| ShdwShinobi | I'll try that. I reinstalled ubuntu a couple of times, and whenever I install the restricted-drivers for my ATI card it boots like that. Or if I install the ati drivers from the site directly | 00:22 |
| belorix | on linux, http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ doesnt work | 00:22 |
| saiki | trippss: it affects the program, yes | 00:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121819 someoen with the same problem as you i believe found this in google by typing "ubuntu boot black screen" without quotes | 00:22 |
| droopsta915 | vexiq do u have ubuntu | 00:22 |
| equim- | any ideas on what I can do to further debug the problem? | 00:23 |
| Vexiq | ofcourse I do.. | 00:23 |
| unop | belorix, it works if you have phpmyadmin / php/ apache and mysql installed and running | 00:23 |
| XVampireX | belorix: what unop said... :) | 00:23 |
| trippss | saiki, ok thanks | 00:23 |
| belorix | unop, how can i tell if there runnign | 00:23 |
| equim- | so far I've just done an ifconfig and noted that it only shows the loopback adapter - that's about as far as my knowledge goes ;) | 00:23 |
| XVampireX | and you shouldn't use 127.0.0.1 you should use localhost, faster :) | 00:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: you didn tell me you had ATI card :/ you should state that, it explains check your drivers, see if your using the correct ones and check that post | 00:23 |
| ShdwShinobi | Pirate_Hunter, I've seen that before unfortunately :( It'll get the xserver running right again, but at a super low resolution and then I can't use compiz | 00:23 |
| droopsta915 | vexiq copy and paste this in the terminal and tell me if it worked. | 00:23 |
| saiki | trippss: you're welcome | 00:24 |

| gluonman | unop, according to the documentation, this particular model doesn't have a factory default setting for username/password. It's provided uniquely. | 00:25 |
| gluonman | unop, from the get-go. | 00:25 |
| ShdwShinobi | and Pirate_Hunter i'm using the ones from the restricted-drivers repository. It's worked fine for months... but just stopped this week | 00:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: thats the point get xorg running super low and increase it afterwards, your literally redoing your setting untill you find something good "posts #5&6 seem to have complimented each other" | 00:25 |
| droopsta915 | vexiq here it is | 00:25 |

| gluonman | unop, which sucks, because the only way to get past this step now is to get my roommate to dig around and find that information (which she hasn't accessed for almost 4 years). | 00:25 |
| unop | gluonman, does the documentation have a reset procedure? | 00:25 |
| gluonman | unop, unless you know of another way. | 00:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ShdwShinobi: might have been an update you did not sure but try redoing xorg might or might not help | 00:25 |
| gluonman | unop, let me check out reset options, I didn't think of that. | 00:26 |
| unop | gluonman, it should have .. usually there is a reset button at the back of the router | 00:26 |
| belorix | unop, phmyadmin is installed, and the mysql/apache one says start on all them | 00:26 |
| darkus | how to update the codecs? | 00:26 |
| droopsta915 | anyone know why I cant login to ubuntu in regular mode? | 00:26 |
| unop | darkus, enable the medibuntu repository and install the w32codecs package | 00:26 |
| droopsta915 | I can only get in as failsafe mode | 00:26 |
| saiki | bad passord? | 00:26 |
| unop | !w32codecs > darkus | 00:26 |
| ubottu | darkus, please see my private message | 00:26 |
| gluonman | unop, I pushed the reset button at the back of the router. | 00:26 |
| droopsta915 | if I can use the username and password in failsafe gnome, i would think the same applys to regular mode | 00:27 |
| unop | gluonman, well, you need to have it held down for about 10 seconds (might vary with your make) | 00:27 |
| gluonman | unop, but if there is some sort of default it goes back to, the documentation doesn't seem to reveal what it is. Unless it's just a difficult document to figure out. | 00:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | droopsta915: your user gnome settings have become corrupted and i know this cause it happened to me | 00:27 |
| droopsta915 | what can i do | 00:27 |
| gluonman | unop, I'll try that. I know, I'm not experienced with routers. | 00:27 |
| unop | gluonman, this is why you need to refer to the reset procedure that comes with the documentation | 00:27 |
| genii | droopsta915: if your username is for instance George then do: sudo chown -R George:George `ls -a /home/George/*` | 00:27 |
| unop | gluonman, i suggest you download the pdf and keep it for reference | 00:28 |
| droopsta915 | be back in a few....................................................... | 00:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | droopsta915: wait for someone to help you fix that, i cnat haven't got it documented sadly :'( | 00:28 |

| darkus | coz i formatted my pc | 00:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: give me a share of you brain (>^.^)> | 00:29 |

| genii | droopsta915: Perhaps you removed soehow their home directory | 00:31 |
| alberaan | how do I stop it? | 00:31 |
| droopsta915 | ls is for list | 00:31 |
| alberaan | I have problems with sound :/ | 00:31 |

| belorix | I have phpmyadmin installed, and apache it says it works, but phpmyadmin wont ork | 00:32 |

| unop | droopsta915, see what i just said up there ^^ | 00:32 |
| genii | unop: Yes, thats a more elegant solution | 00:32 |
| unop | genii, more than elegant, it's safe and not error prone | 00:33 |

| genii | unop: hehe | 00:34 |
| droopsta915 | chown: cannot access `/home/victor/.gvfs': Permission denied | 00:34 |
| darkus | equim-, you have to desactivate and reactivate the network or the wireless | 00:34 |
| unop | equim-, restart the networking, hal and udev services perhaps | 00:34 |
| equim- | wouldn't a reboot do that? | 00:34 |

| dusty_ | Hey guys, I have two nameservers which I am trying to protect using iptables. The problem is when I bring up iptables, I cannot resolve dns queries. I can't even telnet to port 53 on the server, I don't understand as I thought i've unblocked 53 and the others... http://rafb.net/p/H4VgPD22.html is my script can anyone see what i'm doing wrong ? | 01:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: ahhh you should be | 01:14 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, i don't want to be .. hence the name un-op... | 01:15 |
| Blaqlight | Id love to get one of those unaffiliated hostmasks... | 01:15 |
| unop | :) | 01:15 |
| Rockbuddy | ._. | 01:15 |
| doggymenz | Blaqlight, register your name with NickServ | 01:15 |
| Blaqlight | doggymenz, I have, thats not how you get one. | 01:15 |
| Druui | greetings all | 01:16 |
| unop | dusty_, dns works atop udp .. not telnet, which is why you can't telnet on port 53 (telnet uses tcp) | 01:16 |
| alraune | !register>alarune | 01:16 |
| unop | dusty_, err. s/not telnet/not tcp/ | 01:16 |
| alraune | !register>alraune | 01:16 |
| ubottu | alraune, please see my private message | 01:16 |
| KnitGal | i am looking for 1 cd linux distro that support rpm | 01:16 |
| sam_delta | hello, in which channel can i get programming assistance? | 01:16 |
| dusty_ | ok how do i fix iptables to make it work i cant query the nameserver when they are up | 01:16 |
| unop | alraune, you can talk to ubottu in private -- /query ubottu | 01:16 |
| Blaqlight | KnitGal, CD.. or DVD? | 01:16 |
| KnitGal | cd | 01:16 |
| doggymenz | Blaqlight, then you aply for one | 01:16 |
| _jason | sam_delta: the channel for the language you are programming in is usually your best bet | 01:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: /resolv/conf thats the file to add your nameservers once you do that browser will be bacn and you may notice an increase in speed | 01:17 |
| unop | dusty_, allow 53/udp in | 01:17 |
| spider | sam_delta: try on its name example #c | 01:17 |
| Blaqlight | KnitGal, ubuntu has a minimal install disc | 01:17 |
| Fobos_ | hi | 01:17 |
| sam_delta | alright _jason and spider, thanks | 01:17 |
| Fobos_ | who use weechat? | 01:17 |
| dusty_ | unop, look at the pastebin. | 01:17 |
| Blaqlight | !minimal | KnitGal | 01:17 |
| ubottu | KnitGal: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:17 |
| z00s | can anyone else assist me with gparted? | 01:17 |
| Blaqlight | Fobos_, I do sometimes.. | 01:17 |
| doggymenz | Blaqlight, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 01:18 |
| _jason | z00s: best to just ask the channel your question again | 01:18 |
| spider | Pirate_Hunter: wait but tell me how to get there /resolv/conf | 01:18 |
| bastid_raZor | KnitGal; you're looking for a red hat distro.. that has rpm's | 01:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: if you want to know how to work with that file google it using ubuntu resolv.conf it wont take long to find the tut i looked at also im lazy its late and i ahvent slept yet | 01:18 |
| z00s | all right, i'm trying to resize my ubuntu partition. i'm currently booting from a livecd and i'm in gparted. i've resized my windows partition down 30 gigs and it's showing 30 gigs of unallocated space, however i cannot increase the size of my ubuntu partition. i've made sure /dev/sda1 isn't mounted. can anyone assist me? | 01:18 |
| Fishscene | I typed in "man ftp" in the terminal. How do I get out of the manual? | 01:18 |
| Blaqlight | bastid_raZor, ubuntu can support RPM's | 01:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: /etc/resolv.conf | 01:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Fishscene: press q | 01:18 |
| Fishscene | Thanks :) | 01:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Blaqlight: i thought u had to use alien to convert those | 01:19 |
| _jason | z00s: afaik, there are restrictions on how you can increase. The free space has to be after the partition you are increasing. Is that the case? | 01:19 |
| bastid_raZor | KnitGal; http://www.rpm.org/ | 01:19 |
| Blaqlight | Fishscene, or you can use CRTL Z to get back to just a prompt without closing the window. | 01:19 |
| spider | Pirate_Hunter: it really great if you help me how to work with that file since i cannot do searching via web browsers | 01:19 |
| Fishscene | Blaq, that wasn't working for the manual. "q" worked though. :) | 01:19 |
| Blaqlight | Pirate_Hunter, you do, but it still does in a manner of speaking.. | 01:19 |
| Druui | partitioning is the interesting part. mhmm | 01:19 |
| unop | dusty_, not being rude .. but my previous statement stands -- you are not allowing udp traffic on port 53 in i.e. --dport 53 | 01:20 |
| Doska | hi ALL i want to install flash player, follow adobe instructions and i get an error | 01:20 |
| Blaqlight | Fishscene, in gnome-term it does. | 01:20 |
| MrPickle | trying to open and view the source code of a windows .exe file; does anyone know a good app [preferably in the repos], or a mod for gedit that I could do this with? | 01:20 |
| Fishscene | ohok. I'm using ssh. | 01:20 |
| _jason | Doska: just install the flashplugin-nonfree package from multiverse | 01:20 |
| Druui | how many paritions you have, Z00s? | 01:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: oh yeha forgot like i said tired ok let me look at my saved sample and direct you | 01:20 |
| Blaqlight | Fishscene, ahh ok | 01:20 |
| z00s | yes, that is _jason | 01:20 |
| Doska | how? | 01:20 |
| z00s | Druui: 3. windows, ubuntu, swap | 01:21 |
| _jason | Doska: have you enabled the multiverse repository? | 01:21 |
| unop | dusty_, and don't restrict based on --srcport for dns queries either ,, some dns queries might be sent in datagrams that have a srcport of 53 itself | 01:21 |
| Druui | is that in order correct, z00s? | 01:21 |
| spider | Pirate_Hunter: it is only nameserver there... hehe and i guess my nameservers are correct. | 01:21 |
| z00s | Druui: yes | 01:21 |
| Fishscene | Would anyone know how to connect to a remote samba share via terminal/SSH? | 01:21 |
| Doska | i don't know this is a fresh install of hardy | 01:21 |
| Druui | delete swap first | 01:21 |
| Druui | then click on linux one and increase it | 01:21 |
| Doska | _jason i also want FF3 final | 01:21 |
| Druui | after you done it, then add swap. | 01:21 |
| Druui | then apply. | 01:21 |
| unop | MrPickle, there is no way you can view the source code for a compiled executable .. it's an impossibility | 01:22 |
| Fobos_ | give me charset plugin for weechat | 01:22 |
| Blaqlight | Druui, ahhh I couldn't figure it out :D | 01:22 |
| Druui | :D | 01:22 |
| Druui | i did figure it out recently.. like several minutes ago | 01:22 |
| Doska | i downloaded both packages, they're on the desktop _jason | 01:22 |
| Blaqlight | so /swap was the problem? | 01:22 |
| _jason | Doska: go to system -> administration -> software sources and tick universe, multiverse, updates, and security (I do not recommend backports or proposed) | 01:22 |
| Druui | :) | 01:22 |
| Druui | learning is a good experience for myself. :3 | 01:22 |
| z00s | Druui: ok, so i need to delete the swap partition, resize down the windows partition, then resize up the ubuntu partition, then recreate teh swap partition? | 01:22 |
| z00s | is that the correct sequence? | 01:22 |
| Blaqlight | learning just gives me a headache. | 01:22 |
| Druui | ooer | 01:22 |
| manslut | i've installed tightvnc and it works as a charm. however, i don't know how to set up httpd on it. -httpd options needs a java class path or something, any thoughts? | 01:22 |
| z00s | ooer? | 01:23 |
| _jason | Doska: you don't download packages manually to install things, it's much easier on linux, but you need to do it once to know about it. Let me know when you are done with the above | 01:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: yup that does the trick most fo the times and no your nameservers arent always correct, by default it uses the gateway through your router but your router uses nameserver directed by the isp that what you want to add their | 01:23 |
| MrPickle | repost-- *MrPickle: trying to open and view the source code of a windows .exe file; does anyone know a good app [preferably in the repos], or a mod for gedit that I could do this with? | 01:23 |
| Druui | i never went that part where i have to resize window and ubuntu part | 01:23 |
| z00s | =/ | 01:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: 192.168.XXX.XXX that is probably what you have at leats what i had before i changed it | 01:23 |
| Druui | hold a moment | 01:23 |
| unop | MrPickle, did you read what i said to you? | 01:23 |
| Blaqlight | flashplugin-nonfree is up-to-date on my system yet I can't use flash stuff in FF3... what could be wrong.. | 01:23 |
| Fishscene | MrPickle, it's called "reverse engineering". The Source code is NOT included in EXE files. | 01:24 |
| MrPickle | unop, dont think I saw that | 01:24 |
| Doska | ok _jason options are selected | 01:24 |
| * Druui googling | 01:24 | |
| unop | MrPickle, it is not possible to view the source code of a compiled executable | 01:24 |
| spider | Pirate_Hunter: nameserver 203.176.128.10 | 01:24 |
| spider | nameserver 203.176.128.11 these are what i have in that file | 01:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: you cna get your browser working temporarily by restarting the comp and router (but thats optional i think) | 01:24 |
| _jason | Doska: good, so close that window and let it reload | 01:24 |
| Blaqlight | MrPickle, you might check on something called resourcehacker. | 01:25 |
| Doska | done | 01:25 |
| z00s | ok, i see how it works now | 01:25 |
| z00s | you're right | 01:25 |
| Fobos_ | кто есть из росси? | 01:25 |
| MrPickle | unop, oh.....so if I wanted to crack a simple game and stop a caller which causes the program from loading, id have to use everything *aside* from the .exe | 01:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: please dont post that and is that what your router uses, for you to check that you must log into the router | 01:25 |
| z00s | you can only expand a partition towards the right | 01:25 |
| MrPickle | ? | 01:25 |
| z00s | which is bazaar | 01:25 |
| Blaqlight | !ru | Fobos_ | 01:25 |
| ubottu | Fobos_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 01:25 |
| Druui | yes z00s | 01:25 |
| _jason | Doska: now you can go to system -> administration -> synaptic and install flashplugin-nonfree. Or just open a shell and do the command 'sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree' | 01:25 |
| Druui | move partition to right | 01:25 |
| Druui | then try expand window | 01:25 |
| Druui | http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted | 01:25 |
| spider | Pirate_Hunter: Hmmm | 01:25 |
| Doska | good, it is downloading | 01:26 |
| unop | MrPickle, well, you'll have to have a decent knowledge of reverse engineering to do this .. and that's offtopic for this channel .. perhaps you should redirect this to ##windows .. or ask them where to suitably ask this question. | 01:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spider: like i said you could restart and go into google and look for the file type also get your name servers from your roouter or isp as they would be the ebst people to know it | 01:27 |
| Druui | after resizing, then add swap after linux one. | 01:27 |
| Doska | _jason good, i like terminal, but how to know all the lines? example for FF3? | 01:27 |
| Blaqlight | my cooling fan seems to not to want to come on... Ive gotta fix this mess. bbs | 01:27 |
| Druui | and apply. it might takes while to resize and move data along | 01:27 |
| MrPickle | unop, that does make sense...because I actually have an app on my windows machine that lets me view the hex code of any .exe file around. I just thought Id ask here first to see if anyone knew of a mod like hat in the repos. [the hacker types scare me] | 01:28 |
| _jason | Doska: you'll have to restart firefox after it installs. To update the rest of your system, there should be an update icon in your tray (if there isn't, it will show up soon when it checks for new software). If you don't want to wait, go to synaptic and hit 'reload' or run 'sudo aptitude update'. That should give you the icon in the tray. Here is the apt commands tutorial if you like the... | 01:28 |
| _jason | ...shell: | 01:28 |
| _jason | !apt > Doska | 01:28 |
| ubottu | Doska, please see my private message | 01:28 |
| unop | !info hexedit | MrPickle | 01:29 |

| maco | im a little scared. i just booted from the 8.04.1 live cd on my mom's computer and got the "failsafe X" (hahaha) screen where it asks you to manually configure it. when i chose the right video card it then had bad X again. also, the mouse (PS2) didn't work in X (but did in the framebuffer thing for language at boot). i just switched in a new USB mouse & keyboard then rebooted and X is working from the live cd this time. do mouse/keyboard actually aff | 02:35 |

| beardo | blaqlight, yes, on the computer i'm on now | 02:39 |

| goodbyegravity | Don't bother trying Opera | 02:40 |
| goodbyegravity | Fonts are broken | 02:40 |
| Blaqlight | Quenyar, yes. | 02:40 |
| aitd | spider: I use opera; installed from Synaptic | 02:40 |
| beardo | blaqlight, and now i get a segfalult upon reboot from login screen | 02:41 |
| Quenyar | OK, trying that | 02:41 |
| beardo | blaqlight, i've reinstalled using different configs on multiple machines, never ran into this. i'm concerned it's my 'new' motherboard | 02:42 |
| Blaqlight | goodbyegravity, everyone's experience is different.. | 02:42 |
| goodbyegravity | No, I mean... seriously broken | 02:42 |
| Blaqlight | beardo, how new? | 02:42 |
| goodbyegravity | I use Opera exclusively, but it's impossible on 8.04.1 | 02:42 |
| ironfroggy | is anyone else having trouble with python-central? | 02:42 |
| Blaqlight | goodbyegravity, my fonts were fine. | 02:42 |
| bigb251 | ‡|Blaqlight|‡ , startx doesn't work. | 02:42 |
| nocive | goodbyegravity: why impossible? | 02:43 |
| Blaqlight | bigb251, you've got some major issues then x isn't even installed. | 02:43 |
| aitd | Might want to try completely removing Opera and the reinstalling it. I use is on a regular basis in 8.04 without issues. | 02:43 |
| beardo | blaqlight, new to me, and i'm told its 3 years old and worked fine from it's previous owner, came in beautiful, extra clean condition | 02:43 |
| goodbyegravity | nocive: I would love to find an answer to that :) | 02:43 |
| Blaqlight | bigb251, your prolly better off just reinstalling. | 02:43 |
| biouser | what is going on with the olympics work around? | 02:43 |
| bigb251 | Yea. Exactly how do I uninstall? Like a regular program, correct? | 02:44 |
| goodbyegravity | The whole shared/static QT just seems like a headache, and even though the interface responds to qt4-qtconfig, some of the page fonts and menus refuse to render correctly | 02:44 |
| Quenyar | OK, so I turned on roaming for both Ethernet interafces it sees - I closed the dialog but the window doesn't close and it's thinking hard.... | 02:44 |
| Blaqlight | beardo, and your sure all of your hardware is in good working order... HDD, memtest86 on your RAM modules?... | 02:44 |
| markekeller | I was just playing Sauerbraten, when all of a sudden my computer froze. I did a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and when X came back up, I had lost 3D acceleration! But, and this is the weird part, Blender, which used to make the screen go haywire when 3D acceleration worked, runs fine now (but 3D games have awful framerates)! Odd, eh? | 02:45 |
| Blaqlight | bigb251, no need to uninstall, go where ubottu suggests in the PM. | 02:45 |
| Blaqlight | !puregnome > bigb251 | 02:46 |
| ubottu | bigb251, please see my private message | 02:46 |
| bigb251 | ok | 02:46 |
| bigb251 | ty | 02:46 |
| Quenyar | Turning roaming on did nothing. How can I get this to connect? | 02:46 |
| beardo | blaqlight, the hdd has an 8.04 install on it, and will [sometimes] boot into old install, but without network support, the ram is from same old config, and the only thing i would lean to as suspect is the cdrom drive, which i've swapped | 02:46 |
| beardo | blaqlight, i'm all for a complete wipe, as my sensitive data is on a larger drive not connected at this time. | 02:47 |

| Jordan_U | Quenyar: This is ethernet? | 02:48 |
| beardo | blaqlight, yes | 02:48 |
| beardo | blaqlight, as we speak i've tried to boot again and chose 'install' and it's halted with 'fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed' | 02:49 |
| Blaqlight | beardo use that to fix your install, or atleast attempt it, if not, just do a full install. its easier that way. also you might for argements sake, do a memtest86 on your ram modules... | 02:49 |
| ncfi1013 | can anybody tell me how to get amarok to "see" my 3rd gen ipod? | 02:50 |
| arrrghhh | so i've tried the hardware drivers manager method for installing the nvidia drivers. it broke X. | 02:50 |
| Blaqlight | beardo, also check your installation media... | 02:50 |
| Fizzik | how do i take a screenshot in terminal? | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | Quenyar:If it's an ethernet connection try "sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0" in a terminal and if it doesn't work please pastebin the output | 02:50 |

| msingh | when did ubuntu decide it wanted to copy Vista/XP by asking you to reboot after installing updates every 2nd day? | 02:50 |
| arrrghhh | msingh, i only get reboot msgs when i install a kernel update... | 02:50 |
| ironfroggy | does anyone know how to purge the list of incomplete package installs? | 02:50 |
| beardo | blaqlight, i've been around and around trying that, and, honestly, don't care for the existing data. as for the media, it's been booted into on the machine i'm chatting on, verified, and fully booted into the gui with no probs | 02:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | msingh: i only see that with kernel stuff | 02:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | msingh: i've not rebooted on any of the recent updates, except the ernel update a week or so ago | 02:51 |
| msingh | arrrghhh: i get asked all the time. it's bullshit | 02:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | msingh: i havent seen that in quite some time now. | 02:51 |
| greg_ | anyone know about booting certain commands | 02:51 |
| beardo | blaqlight, can i get a refresher on the command sequence for memtest? | 02:51 |
| arrrghhh | msingh, like i said, ONLY for kernel upgrades have i ever been asked. are you running intrepid? | 02:51 |
| msingh | someone tell these maintainers that asking you to reboot after an update is ok once in a while (maybe once a year) .. but every bloody week | 02:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | greg_: called Kernel Options | 02:51 |
| greg_ | DozedOnLinux: thanks | 02:52 |
| msingh | arrrghhh: what's intrepid? | 02:52 |
| arrrghhh | ironfroggy, there's apt-get autoremove and dpkg --configure -a | 02:52 |

| beardo | blaqlight, okie... running now | 02:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | ncfi1013: ok, open amarok, and tell it where to look for the ipod. | 02:53 |
| ncfi1013 | amarok is open | 02:53 |

| ncfi1013 | amarok IS open | 02:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | ncfi1013: well did you tell it where to look for your ipod? | 02:53 |
| msingh | it would be good if it ASKED you before installing update that will require a reboot. cause i'll say NO each time unless it's a critical update | 02:53 |
| msingh | how is that not the reasonable sane thing to do? | 02:53 |
| arrrghhh | so when the hardware drivers manager method fails for nvidia drivers install, what should i do? | 02:54 |
| beardo | blaqlight, lol, i'm napped out after burning livecd's at 2x all day ;] | 02:54 |
| goodbyegravity | Can't you turn off the update request? | 02:54 |
| ncfi1013 | and how would i do that | 02:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | msingh: or, just don't reboot till your ready, thats what i do. | 02:54 |
| goodbyegravity | And the update manager in general? | 02:54 |
| ironfroggy | I have a major circular problem here. python-central is failing to setup on install because it tries to install packages i dont have (and am not asking for | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | msingh: Nothing will happen if you don't reboot | 02:54 |
| ironfroggy | and if i try to install those packages, they fail becasue python-central isn't setup yet | 02:54 |
| arrrghhh | msingh, just ignore it. | 02:54 |
| msingh | yeah that's what i've been doing | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | msingh: You just won't be using the latest kernel until you do | 02:54 |
| ironfroggy | anyone know where it gets its list of packages to try and install on setup? | 02:54 |
| arrrghhh | ironfroggy, did you see what i said? | 02:54 |

| beardo | blaqlight, yeah, so i can be sure of no buffer probs, cheap media probs, etc | 02:55 |
| Jordan_U | msingh: And if it's just an Xorg update you can start using the new version by logging out and logging back in ( which restarts X ) | 02:55 |
| goodbyegravity | Ubuntu always gives me errors if I burn faster than 4x | 02:55 |

| mauricio | appriciate it. | 03:03 |
| beardo | fizzik, oops, on first try i mean, it comes with hardy | 03:03 |
| spider | for my windows it doesnt know sound driver, can i use my ubuntu sound driver for my windows? | 03:03 |
| goodbyegravity | No | 03:03 |
| Fizzik | beardo, i dont like rhythmbox | 03:03 |
| goodbyegravity | Unless you compile ALSA for Windows | 03:03 |
| DozedOnLinux | goodbyegravity: just havent had the need to try it, although some of my code uses it for diag. havent yet to drop it on this box yet | 03:03 |
| msingh | In order to complete the update of your system it needs to be restarted. | 03:03 |
| msingh | Until you do so, security updates may not be fully applied, newly inserted or supported hardware may not function and new services may not be available. | 03:03 |
| msingh | how does this say, "ok, dont reboot it's cool if you dont" | 03:04 |

| chimp | A bug in a program has just deleted my menu.lst as well as the stage1 files etc, meaning if i enter grub and try find /boot/grub/stage1 it says file not found, any idea how to restore this? | 03:04 |
| spider | goodbyegravity: u answered my question? | 03:04 |
| goodbyegravity | Yeah, spider | 03:04 |
| bazhang | biouser, what is that | 03:04 |
| goodbyegravity | The driver is built into ALSA | 03:04 |
| DozedOnLinux | msingh: if it says restart is required, i dont see how rebooting should not, be an option. it is telling you that for a reason | 03:05 |
| beardo | fizzik, i'm not a huge fan of it, but the people hammering out a new release every six months thought highly of it, and it does work well, however ugly it is. what's your beef with it? | 03:05 |
| goodbyegravity | Or as a kernel module I suppose | 03:05 |
| bigb251 | blaqlight ? | 03:05 |
| bigb251 | :( | 03:05 |
| spider | goodbyegravity: so how could i compile that? | 03:05 |
| Quenyar | Has anyone had horrible problems with scrolling - when I scroll, instead of stauing put in the window, it paints it in pieces all up the screen and I can't read any of it. Terrible. | 03:05 |
| SNuxoll | Quenyar: nvidia card? | 03:05 |
| goodbyegravity | You can try going to ALSA's site, but I wouldn't have any clue where to start with POSIX and compiling with Win32 | 03:05 |
| msingh | DozedOnLinux: it's broken. this is not the linux i remember. you should be able to go months and years without needing to reboot | 03:05 |
| Fizzik | beardo, it just sucks lol :P | 03:05 |

| Swian | I like rythmbox | 03:05 |
| arrrghhh | msingh, just ignore the msg until you are ready to reboot. at least it doesn't keep nagging you to reboot like windows does :P | 03:05 |
| Fizzik | Swian, i dont | 03:06 |
| goodbyegravity | arrrghhh: Mine nags me constantly when it | 03:06 |
| goodbyegravity | s up | 03:06 |
| Swian | I thinks its nice compared to iTunes | 03:06 |
| Quenyar | not an nvidia card, a real dinoasur a Matrox VGA card | 03:06 |
| SNuxoll | Quenyar: I had that issue with my GeForce 4MX, switched it out for my Radeon 9550 and it worked fine | 03:06 |
| biouser | bazhang: sry, !offtopic I guess... was just hoping to watch olympic weightlifting from the comfort of my ubuntu.... had to break out a crappy old MS box... | 03:06 |
| msingh | arrrghhh: i dont like rebooting. i dont want to reboot. this message tells me i should | 03:06 |
| spider | goodbyegravity: so if i wanna see my sound driver name on ubuntu is it possible? | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | maybe it's a kde thing... | 03:06 |
| Fizzik | i like itunes | 03:06 |
| Swian | your loss | 03:06 |
| mio | Hi, what would be a good media centre software ? | 03:06 |
| goodbyegravity | spider: Type "lspci" and look for something about a sound device | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | msingh, yea i agree. i hardly ever reboot my machine. it goes months without rebooting. | 03:06 |
| msingh | mio: freevo | 03:06 |
| SNuxoll | mio: for linux? | 03:06 |
| vik | Hello..I am attempting to create a .deb package from source for the first time for the transmission bittorrent client on hardy heron. I have downloaded the source package and run the following commands tar xvjf transmission-1.31.tar.bz2 , ./configure -q && make -s and the next command in the help file is make install and it fails because it says "make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop."..Can you please help me | 03:06 |
| SNuxoll | mio: it doesn't exist >> | 03:06 |
| beardo | fizzik, i agree, although it's not given me many real problems, besides bein goofy, and, like i said, it lit up 'automagically' as soon as i plugged my pa's ipod in | 03:06 |
| mio | for ubuntu | 03:06 |
| SNuxoll | mio: ubuntu is linux silly... | 03:07 |
| tritium | vik: you know it's already packaged, right? | 03:07 |
| mio | :( | 03:07 |
| msingh | mio: freevo if you got the patience (or/and luck) to make it work for you | 03:07 |
| DozedOnLinux | Quenyar: mine does that in System Monitor, only on the Processes Tab. only thing i see that does it. thin horizontal lines across the display area, cant read what is there for a few seconds. nvidia on my system . havent seen it do it anywhere else i can think of | 03:07 |
| beardo | fizzik, i understand you can use amarok for ipods, as well as most of the highest-rated mediaplayers in the repo's | 03:07 |
| vik | tritium: no..I am a newbie | 03:07 |
| mio | msingh: thanks i will have a look | 03:07 |
| tritium | !info tranmission | vik | 03:07 |
| ubottu | vik: Package tranmission does not exist in hardy | 03:07 |
| goodbyegravity | Depends on the device.. I don't think the iPod Touch works with Linux, does it? | 03:07 |
| tritium | !info transmission | vik | 03:07 |
| ubottu | vik: transmission (source: transmission): free, lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.06-0ubuntu6 (hardy), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB | 03:07 |
| msingh | tranmission is crap.. run utorrent under wine | 03:08 |

| goodbyegravity | Deluge is a uTorrent clone that works quite well | 03:08 |
| SNuxoll | what's with the transmission hostility? | 03:08 |
| goodbyegravity | or maybe uTorrent was a Deluge clone--whichever | 03:08 |
| arrrghhh | utorrent under wine is crap lol | 03:08 |
| SNuxoll | it downloads torrents, who cares? | 03:08 |
| beardo | blaqlight, wow the memtest just started spewing six digits worth of errors in a matter of seconds on block move test. | 03:08 |
| msingh | it has no features. you can schedule stuff | 03:08 |
| goodbyegravity | It lacks a lot of features | 03:08 |
| msingh | *cannot | 03:08 |
| SNuxoll | goodbyegravity: like? | 03:08 |
| vik | tritial: Now I know what you mean..I have 1.22 version installed but the newest version 1.231 has a lot of features..so my experimentation | 03:08 |
| javagamer | When bridging a network interface for a guest OS in KVM does the host computer have the IP set in /etc/network/interfaces and the guest OS gets its IP form it's own /etc/network/interfaces (or equivelant)? | 03:09 |
| SNuxoll | goodbyegravity: I don't see anything that it's missing that I could use, I can cap the upload speed, I can download torrents, I'm happy | 03:09 |
| goodbyegravity | The most important one for me is that you can't specifically pick what to download out of the torrent | 03:09 |
| goodbyegravity | E.G. If I want one episode from an 8GB TV torrent | 03:09 |
| SNuxoll | goodbyegravity: eh? yes you can | 03:09 |
| msingh | goodbyegravity: i believe tranmission does that | 03:09 |
| goodbyegravity | Oh? How? | 03:09 |
| Pinehead | what kind of support does ubuntu have for wireless keyboard and mouse for install? | 03:09 |
| beardo | blaqlight, i dunno how i coulda borked my ram up during such a simple swap, is there a way to tell which stick is at fault? | 03:09 |
| SNuxoll | goodbyegravity: right click the torrent, open the info window | 03:09 |
| goodbyegravity | It was easy to find with Deluge, so I just stopped using Transmission | 03:09 |
| Pinehead | DO i need a wired one to set it up or am i good with what i got? | 03:09 |
| SNuxoll | goodbyegravity: then deselect all the files you don't want | 03:09 |
| goodbyegravity | Huh, I see. | 03:10 |
| goodbyegravity | Oh well. :) | 03:10 |
| mio | note to all: Vista > virtual box > ubuntu > virtual box > winxp = bad bad bad | 03:10 |
| msingh | utorrent is still better (onve you get it to work) | 03:10 |
| goodbyegravity | Transmission does have a nicer GUI, though | 03:10 |
| SNuxoll | Pinehead: if you have a bluetooth keyboard, should work perfectly | 03:10 |
| Pinehead | what about an old school logitech | 03:10 |
| SNuxoll | Pinehead: even moreso if you have a random USB keyboard/mouse combo with a custom USB reciever | 03:10 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||

| Pinehead | nope not usb :( | 03:11 |
| SNuxoll | Pinehead: yeah, you'll be golden | 03:11 |
| vik | tritium: sorry i misspelled is it hard to compile a .deb package from source..Thanks | 03:11 |
| Pinehead | snuxoll: even though its not usb? | 03:11 |
| tritium | vik: no, not that bad. | 03:11 |

| ironfroggy | any known remedy for a drive that keeps going read-only? | 03:15 |
| beardo | is there a way to tell which stick of ram is causing the 7-digits-worth-of-errors-and-counting from memtest on a livecd? | 03:15 |
| ironfroggy | take them out one by one? | 03:16 |
| beardo | okie | 03:16 |
| Cpudan80 | beardo: it should run tests on one stick at a time | 03:16 |
| Cpudan80 | Does it not do that? | 03:16 |
| Quenyar | beardo - yes, take second stick out, run RAM test (on Ubuntu install CD) if no errors, swap for other stick. etc | 03:16 |
| Cpudan80 | Memtest 86+ does that IIRC | 03:16 |
| g06|in | chimp: what did you do? | 03:16 |
| chimp | A program (unetbootin) deleted it in a buggy sort of way | 03:17 |
| babo_ | how do i find my nessus pass and username ? | 03:17 |
| beardo | cpudan80, it doesnt seem to be, but honestly, it's not that difficult, i'm just getting lazy now :D | 03:17 |
| teq | is there a way to share ram with video memory? thanks | 03:17 |
| Cpudan80 | beardo: yeah -- easiest sure fire way is to just rip out the old guy | 03:17 |
| toomanymirrors | Hey, I am trying to set separate wallpapers on a dual monitor nvidia twin view setup but nautilus only lets me set a single desktop wallpaper across both screens | 03:17 |

| Shaba1 | where are likely places that a program could be starting at boot time? | 03:18 |
| g06|in | chimp: wait a minute! that program seems to help in dual-boot install! | 03:18 |
| fonzarelli | chimp: stage1 is a binary file, thats all i know | 03:18 |
| javagamer | When bridging a network interface for a guest OS in KVM does the host computer have the IP set in /etc/network/interfaces and the guest OS gets its IP form it's own /etc/network/interfaces (or equivelant)? | 03:19 |
| chimp | g06|in: This laptop lacks many ammenities, and so was trying to use it to install other linux distros from within ubuntu | 03:19 |
| fonzarelli | chimp: maybe apt-get remove grub, apt-get install grub? | 03:19 |
| tritium | fonzarelli: there is a --reinstall option for apt-get install | 03:20 |

| Pinehead | I have no burning software. | 03:20 |
| chimp | A loader? | 03:20 |
| fonzarelli | Pinehead: google CD Burner XP, its free | 03:20 |
| |mim| | :) hello | 03:20 |
| g06|in | fonzarelli: if in case UNetbootin has a loader that loads in place of GRUB then the chimp's purpose would be lost! | 03:21 |
| fonzarelli | g06|in: ahh, i thought he was trying to restore grub | 03:21 |
| g06|in | chimp: you can even boot with a rescue CD later and then install grub! | 03:21 |
| swuboo | beardo: I hardly see what else your BIOS could be referring to. | 03:21 |
| teq | How do I set my shared video memory? | 03:21 |
| chimp | g06|in: No cd drive, hence why i was using it | 03:21 |
| g06|in | try rebooting it if its the first time after installing UNetbootin | 03:22 |
| g06|in | chimp: if you are trying to restore GRUB then do as fonzarelli says! | 03:22 |
| chimp | g06|in: it contains no menu.lst and no stage1 etc. | 03:22 |
| fonzarelli | teq: i'm not sure you can do anything outside of setting your AGP apperture in your bios | 03:22 |
| chimp | And i am trying that currently, laptop is slow | 03:22 |
| fonzarelli | *aperture | 03:22 |
| teq | fonzarelli: how do i do that | 03:23 |
| g06|in | chimp: trying to restore GRUB? and that's slow? | 03:23 |
| swuboo | teq: That would depend upon your BIOS. | 03:23 |
| fonzarelli | teq: check with your bios manufacturer | 03:23 |
| teq | fonzarelli: how do i access bios? | 03:23 |
| chimp | g06|in: this laptop only has 170MB of ram, so it runs a tad slowly, even when using apt | 03:23 |
| DozedOnLinux | teq: accessing CMOS config , usually DEL ESC or F2 keys to get into cmos | 03:24 |
| g06|in | chimp: hmmm fine | 03:24 |
| swuboo | teq: That, too, would depend on your BIOS manufacturer. Holding down delete during bootup is common. | 03:24 |
| fonzarelli | teq: depends on your bios, sometimes if F12 or DEL or ESC during the boot process before grub loads | 03:24 |
| DozedOnLinux | teq: do this on power-up of system | 03:24 |
| chimp | Reinstalling grub didnt work :S | 03:25 |

| amenado | g06|in-> do you have a /usr/src/linux symlink? | 03:33 |
| fonzarelli | amendo: no, because i didn't install the linux-kernel-headers package | 03:33 |

| g06|in | or kernel headers! | 03:33 |

| cellofellow | What did I miss? | 03:39 |
| alraune | Akabal: sudo ping <ip> | 03:39 |
| amenado | g06|in-> can you confirm for me, do you have a /usr/src/linux ? | 03:39 |
| Akabal | How can i do it to a access point | 03:39 |
| Cpudan80 | alraune: ping does not need sudo | 03:40 |
| kevinO | dmi3on, there are many tutorials on the internet, heres one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=704857 | 03:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Akabal: does the AP have an IP ? | 03:40 |
| Akabal | I think | 03:40 |
| g06|in | amenado: I do! but I don't what benefit the answer gives to you! | 03:40 |
| Akabal | How can i determine that | 03:40 |
| alraune | Akabal:got the ip ? | 03:40 |
| kevinO | dmi3on, ive never had to rebuild grub before but i believe its a very simple process | 03:40 |
| === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 | ||
| Cpudan80 | Akabal: well - if you dont know what it is.. you'd have to look at your DHCP server, see if it has a lease out on the AP | 03:41 |
| alraune | Akabal:is it a machine (e.g.server) | 03:41 |
| amenado | g06|in-> that should be a symlink to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build right? | 03:41 |
| chimp | g06|in: I found update-grub rebuilds menu.lst automatically for you, and i found using locate a copy of stage1 somewhere and have copied it, no idea if its correct though | 03:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Akabal: if its some linksys thing, it's prob 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 | 03:41 |
| g06|in | amenado: NO! | 03:41 |
| obx | god what the fudge is wrong with my terminal | 03:41 |
| dmi3on | kevin0, can you help me to do | 03:41 |
| GoldenRatio | if I were to encrypt my hardrive does that protect me from someone remote hacking my machine and stealing data? | 03:42 |

| beardo | so far two out of three sticks of ram have shown errors, both being the ones which worked in the old box yesterday, i'm testing the third now, [previous state unknown] would all three ram sticks showing errors by memtest signal a faulty motherboard? | 03:42 |
| alraune | GoldenRatio: nope | 03:42 |
| fonzarelli | obx: type reset and hit enter in your terminal :) | 03:42 |
| Akabal | HOw can i install flash on UBuntu | 03:42 |
| obx | no all the fonts are squashed in my terminal | 03:42 |
| fonzarelli | Akabal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 03:43 |
| Cpudan80 | Akabal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 03:43 |
| obx | i've changed the font, and changed the size and no change | 03:43 |
| chimp | GoldenRatio: It does prevent someone whose stolen your laptop from stealing your data (given you have a decent password) | 03:43 |
| g06|in | chimp: I thought GRUB reinstall would get you the stage files as well! | 03:43 |
| Akabal | Thank you | 03:43 |
| GoldenRatio | so i guess as soon as i enter that password at boot it everything works just as if it wasent encrypted | 03:43 |
| Dr_willis_ | beardo, or a bad memory slot on the MB. | 03:43 |
| chimp | Didnt g06|in | 03:43 |
| Cpudan80 | beardo: maybe just messed up slot... try a different slot maybe? | 03:43 |
| g06|in | amenado: that directory simply points to the kernel source! | 03:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | GoldenRatio: Ya, pretty much | 03:43 |
| Akabal | Ubuntu is great! | 03:43 |
| chimp | g06|in: Probably would if i had a live cd | 03:43 |
| alraune | beardo:Sticks can easily be changed, try to find a third machine then you'll know | 03:43 |
| derekv | When I use gnome's appearance settings to set my theme to 'darklooks' it sets all the current applications but any new applications load in the default | 03:44 |
| beardo | oh, wow, i always assumed you HAD to have a stick in dimm1 in order for it to read dimm2 | 03:44 |
| beardo | and so on | 03:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | beardo, i imagine it depends on the mb/bios | 03:44 |
| Akabal | it didn't work | 03:45 |
| alraune | beardo:sd,ddr,ddr2 = one is enough for running at all | 03:45 |
| Cpudan80 | beardo: used to be that way - not so much anymore | 03:45 |
| derekv | beardo: yea it is different on different motherboards, sometimes you have to look an the manual :) | 03:45 |
| Cpudan80 | beardo: some give you warnings if you fill up the slots asynchronously | 03:45 |
| fizzik_ | ok guys i have a problem ubuntu does not allow me to go higher then 1024x768 resolution and its got me locked at 50hz refresh rate please help | 03:46 |
| beardo | hmm, third stick failing as well, and without another box to stick it in, i'm going with dimm2. you guys rock | 03:46 |
| alraune | beardo:care for dual-channel | 03:46 |
| g06|in | chimp: IMHO, stage1 file simply points is your MBR copy. | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: is your monitor and gfx card detected correctly? | 03:46 |
| Akabal | :) The flash pluigin didn't work | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | Sure it does | 03:46 |
| derekv | core i7 has triple-channel | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | How are you determining it doesnt work? | 03:46 |
| Cpudan80 | doesnt show up in firefox? | 03:46 |
| schrepfler | hi, I've noticed ubuntu doesn't as anything about where should the bootloader be put, is there some option on install so I'd get presented with the choice? | 03:47 |
| Cpudan80 | well so much for htat | 03:47 |
| alraune | kabal: try: apt-get install flashsupport | 03:47 |
| schrepfler | as=ask | 03:47 |
| histo | fizzik_: actually in this channel what video card | 03:47 |
| g06|in | chimp: usually of size 512 bytes | 03:47 |
| histo | fizzik_: system > Administration > Hardware Drivers enable the restricted driver | 03:47 |
| obx | so my terminal and my terminal font is all squished. | 03:47 |
| obx | and suggestions? | 03:47 |
| Quenyar | Video Display problems with 8.04 LTS on antideluvian x86 box with Matrox video card. When I scroll in the browser window, this happens: http://goomba.com/www2/hwm/Screenshot.png - this was the Ubuntu welcome screen. I have tried several different resolutions and other video settings, but it just doesn't paint the screen properly. HELP | 03:47 |
| g06|in | chimp: the best way to recreate them would be to issue a 'dd' to get a copy of the first 512 bytes of your HDD | 03:48 |
| alraune | schrepfler:when installing today, I was annoyed about that too; no, but you can change it later | 03:48 |
| derekv | anyone else getting this problem with gnome appearance settings not totally working? its one of those things i can't figure out what to google for | 03:48 |
| crdlb | obx: is the Fixed Width font in Apperance set to a monospace font? | 03:48 |
| Cpudan80 | schrepfler: you get five seconds to push ESC to see the menu | 03:48 |
| g06|in | chimp: for more info on stage files look here (caution: page seems old!)http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 03:48 |
| obx | for what? | 03:48 |
| obx | all the fonts? | 03:48 |
| schrepfler | Cpudan80? | 03:48 |
| schrepfler | when, where? | 03:48 |
| Cpudan80 | schrepfler: so - if you push ESC after you pass post, you'll see the grub menu | 03:48 |
| tacojohn | schrepfler, theres a button on the last step on the install, you can change the hd and partition there | 03:49 |
| Cpudan80 | it should show that on the screen | 03:49 |
| alraune | Cpudan80:think the grub-quest was about where it installs itself | 03:49 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 03:49 |
| schrepfler | oh, I must have missed that butten | 03:49 |
| Cpudan80 | sorry - read that wrong :-/ | 03:49 |
| crdlb | obx: there is a "Fixed width font" option in gnome's appearance properties, which is what the terminal uses by default. It breaks badly with a non monospaced font | 03:49 |
| Devourer | Xorg is running at about 40% CPU, is this normal? I have a Pentium dual core 1.8 GHz. | 03:49 |
| obx | i set it to a monospaced one | 03:49 |
| tacojohn | yeah it doesnt say anthing about grub | 03:49 |
| tacojohn | on the buttono anyways | 03:49 |
| obx | and it's still squashed | 03:49 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer no | 03:50 |
| alraune | schrepfler: think depends on the installer, the desktop has, not so the alternate installer | 03:50 |
| BobPenguin | Hello there. Suddenly there is a folder called .dbus in my home folder, its unreadable by my user and i belongs to the root. Should I be worried for that, or is this just normal? | 03:50 |
| crdlb | obx: ok, in gnome-terminal, go to edit > current profile, and make sure it's set to use the system font | 03:50 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, how can I figure out why it's doing this? | 03:50 |
| fizzik_ | histo: i got a little notice that its using a nvidia driver | 03:50 |
| fizzik_ | histo, propertiary driver | 03:50 |

| Cpudan80 | BobPenguin: normal | 03:50 |
| obx | nope still squashed | 03:50 |
| homerj | I tried to use alsamixer, and it just freezes | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | BobPenguin: should be readable by your user... but... | 03:51 |
| histo | fizzik_: yeah now try to change the resolution after restarting | 03:51 |
| obx | and now the words in here are all cutting off at a certain point | 03:51 |
| schrepfler | I think this is older ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| crdlb | obx: I don't know; could you take a screenshot and upload it to http://picpaste.com ? | 03:51 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer then sort by cpu usage | 03:51 |
| obx | yeah 2 seconds | 03:51 |
| fizzik_ | histo, I dont get the thing your talking about when i go to system> administration > hardware drivers | 03:51 |
| BobPenguin | thanks a lot Cpudan88 :) | 03:51 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, alright. | 03:52 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: what version of ubuntu do you have? | 03:52 |
| uoaphys | hi, i went to System, then Administration, then "users and groups"... How come I can't change anything? its all greyed out but im the admin of the system | 03:52 |
| schrepfler | mh | 03:52 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer what program is using up your cpu? | 03:52 |
| uoaphys | im trying to add myself to the virtualbox users group | 03:52 |
| schrepfler | thanks anyway | 03:52 |
| fizzik_ | Cpudan80, new one i see it there but it has been enabled a long time ago | 03:52 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, X... | 03:53 |
| Cpudan80 | uoaphys: hit the unlock button | 03:53 |
| obx | crdlb: http://picpaste.com/2008-08-08-225205_1280x800_scrot.png | 03:53 |
| fizzik_ | Cpudan80, but it got me locked at 1024x768 @ 50hz | 03:53 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer im sorry I thought you meant 40% cpu usage in general | 03:53 |
| uoaphys | damnit, your right cpudan80 | 03:53 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, no. X is using 40%. | 03:53 |
| uoaphys | i didn't even notice it there | 03:53 |
| uoaphys | seems like a lame way to protect users against themselves heh | 03:53 |
| crdlb | obx: whoa, what font is it set to? | 03:53 |
| uoaphys | oh well | 03:53 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer 1s I know there is a command to see what x is doing | 03:53 |
| obx | system font | 03:54 |
| fizzik_ | argg | 03:54 |
| alraune | fizzik_:apt-get install displaycongig-gtk ,then run it | 03:54 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: ok so righ gksu displayconfig-gtk | 03:54 |
| obx | it's only the terminal that's doing that | 03:54 |
| Cpudan80 | alraune: not necessary | 03:54 |

| naruttebayo | Hi. I'm running Linux Mint and I'm trying to install gOS, and since both of those operating systems are basically remixes of Ubuntu I'm asking here. I made a gOS liveCD, However when I load it up it hangs at "ISOLINUX (c) etc. etc. LOADING..." and then stopped. Rewriting new disks at different speeds did not help. So then I used the Ubuntu live CD that I had originally used to install Ubuntu on my computer and tried it out. It woul | 03:54 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, haha, oh. Alright. :) | 03:54 |
| Ryan_Macy | :) | 03:55 |
| jayson_r | /auit | 03:55 |
| alraune | Quenyaer: which matrox card ? | 03:55 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: when you get in there -- what does the model field say? | 03:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | naruttebayo, so to shorten it a bit.. You cant get 'gos' live cd to boot right? | 03:55 |
| fizzik_ | E: Couldn't find package displaycongig-gtk | 03:55 |
| Scorp__ | Guys, i am unable to telnet to my router.. What could be the reason ??? | 03:56 |
| alraune | Quenyar: which matrox card ? | 03:56 |
| naruttebayo | Dr_willis_:Basically, yeah. But it's also every other Ubuntu-based LiveCD. | 03:56 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer you have core 2 duo processor? | 03:56 |
| shear | hmm, it seems that my computer is changing /etc/motd on me. Any way to keep it static? | 03:56 |
| alraune | fizzik_:sudo apt-get install displaycongig-gtk ,then run it | 03:56 |
| Cpudan80 | Scorp__: most dont support telnet | 03:56 |
| fizzik_ | i already have it | 03:56 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: are you sure you are using the correct IP for your router? | 03:56 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, yeah. | 03:56 |
| Cpudan80 | alraune: again, that is not necessary | 03:56 |
| fizzik_ | Cpudan80, ok its open | 03:56 |
| hassu | port closed | 03:56 |
| Cpudan80 | alraune: its already installed | 03:56 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, I don't think it's usually using this much CPU. | 03:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | naruttebayo, i had a od machine that diddnet like a lot of the various ubuntu cd's - I think i even tually replaced the optical drive and it started playing nicer. | 03:56 |
| fizzik_ | its got the right model graphics card in there | 03:56 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, I'm just noticing a slight lag. | 03:56 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: so what does it say under "model" ? | 03:56 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: Yeah... its the default one that i use.. 192.168.1.1 | 03:56 |
| obx | is there anything that i can view recently installed packages? | 03:57 |
| fizzik_ | Cpudan80, plug and play | 03:57 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, I might restart, but I wouldn't expect a Linux distro requiring restart. | 03:57 |
| obx | like just a list of recently installed ones | 03:57 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: ok click the gfx card tab, what does it say | 03:57 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: linksys? | 03:57 |
| naruttebayo | Dr_willis_: Oh dear god. I hope I don't have to replace the optical drive o_O...maybe the lens just needs cleaning... | 03:57 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: for the driver field | 03:57 |
| Akabal | How can i run kismet in ubuntu | 03:57 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: yeah... does it not support ?? | 03:57 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: what model | 03:57 |
| Akabal | i insatalled it already | 03:57 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: WAG200G | 03:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | naruttebayo, No idea. I have a whold stack of cd/dvd drives.. :) faster for me to swap one out.. then to find some cleaning 'stuff' that may or may not help | 03:57 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer well if its x you would'nt have to you could just shutdown x and restart it | 03:58 |
| fizzik_ | Cpudan80, lol no idea what your trying to get me to tell you | 03:58 |
| tacojohn | Devourer, does it recognize both cores, on my athlon xp2 64 i had to use the generic kernel, the i386 kernel didnt see them both | 03:58 |
| Akabal | ANyone know how i can run kismet | 03:58 |
| Cpudan80 | fizzik_: so - click the graphics card tab, what does the driver field say? | 03:58 |
| heridanus | hi | 03:58 |
| afallenhope | MASS: rebooting | 03:58 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: nope, no telnet access, only http on that one | 03:58 |
| infinitycircuit | tacojohn, i386 won't see it but generic will | 03:58 |
| Devourer | tacojohn, it does... And if it didn't I would percieve that as a problem as this kind of activity is not normal. | 03:59 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: When it says trying 192.168.1.1 and then Connected 192.168.1.1 then after that nothing happens... | 03:59 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, would that close other applications that are currently using X? | 03:59 |
| Akabal | How can i run kismet | 03:59 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: I have another peculiar prob... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883688 please look into this for a sec. | 03:59 |
| naruttebayo | Dr_willis_: Thanks though. I just think that since it's refusing CD's that have worked before in the same drive it might have something to do with that. I'm glad I got help here...gOS's Distro-specific support is terrible xP | 03:59 |
| crdlb | obx: try setting it to 'DejaVu Sans Mono' | 03:59 |

| Ryan_Macy | Devourer when you open the system monitor does it list both cores | 04:00 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: someone suggested the page might not work correctly in firefox | 04:00 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: But its not working even in Opera... And its working wid firefox on opensuse and windows | 04:01 |
| heridanus | like a program?? | 04:01 |

| tacojohn | dmi3on, is that the only thing it shows, just grub reading error?? | 04:08 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies | 04:08 |

| dmi3on | tacojohn, can you help me ? | 04:09 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, I think I'll just restart man. Not really that big of a deal if I don't. | 04:09 |
| Ryan_Macy | Devourer heh try it | 04:10 |
| Ryan_Macy | sorry I couldnt help you more man | 04:10 |
| Devourer | Ryan_Macy, it's ok. If it becomes a frequent problem, then it's a problem. | 04:11 |
| Scorp__ | fonzarelli: Hey, gotcha... Its a prob with some javascript execution.. What could be done about that ?? | 04:11 |
| pyrite1978__ | Ryan_Macy: Is there by chance a way to lower the freq ? say, make the range from 1.6-1.2 to 1.6-0.5 ? not to that extreme just an example. | 04:11 |
| siimo | hi so far i have tried a couple of bittorrent clients on ubuntu, but which one is best? i find nothign as good as utorrent | 04:11 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: what kind of error is it, is it like a 404 missing .js page? | 04:11 |
| fonzarelli | Scorp__: maybe try googling those results from that error you found | 04:12 |
| SNuxoll | siimo: I don't need a jumbo torrent client | 04:12 |
| SNuxoll | siimo: I just need something to download torrents, and for that, transmission works fine | 04:12 |
| Ryan_Macy | pyrite1978__ yes | 04:12 |
| oskarBB | čau | 04:12 |
| Ryan_Macy | you can adjust to a lower setting to say preserve battery life | 04:13 |
| tallguy | #roothisbox | 04:13 |
| pyrite1978__ | Ryan_Macy: Right, i assume there would be no adverse effects from scaleing down? | 04:13 |
| infinitycircuit | pyrite1978__, use the ondemand kernel governor, it is the most efficient. underthrottling does very little but undervolting can be very helpful | 04:14 |
| Ryan_Macy | pyrite1978__ nope just a less hot system and a longer battery. Of course you will lose some performence | 04:14 |

| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: Yeah, but the page isn't loading properly cuz of the javascript thing which it was in OpenSUSE... Is javascript OS Dependent or browser dependent ??? | 04:17 |
| Ryan_Macy | Scorp__ well browsers tend to handle things differently | 04:17 |

| DozedOnLinux | tftp | 04:21 |
| Ryan_Macy | Scorp__ http://www.dslreports.com/faq/8756 | 04:21 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: I've done that... I guess it runs diff scripts for linux and windows as per what i saw in HTTPFox... So that could be a reason for the typo error in this script and not for other OS.. | 04:21 |
| DozedOnLinux | !tftp | 04:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tftp | 04:21 |
| Ryan_Macy | Scorp__ its possible that the HTTPFox browser handles things more strictly than say ie6 | 04:22 |
| Ryan_Macy | does it work in other browsers? | 04:22 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: umm, quite possible.. but on windows n OpenSUSe i was use firefox only.. not IE | 04:22 |
| Ryan_Macy | FF2 or 3 | 04:22 |
| Scorp__ | ff3 | 04:22 |
| Ryan_Macy | always or is this the first time? | 04:22 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: as in ?? i've been using ff always, but this error has been there only on ubuntu all the time.. Not first time... | 04:23 |
| Ryan_Macy | Im talking about the version have you opened this page before in ff2? | 04:23 |
| Ryan_Macy | and it worked | 04:24 |

| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: installed ff2 specially on ubuntu even though its 8.04 | 04:25 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: are there any other browsers other than ff and opera ??? | 04:25 |
| Ryan_Macy | Scorp__ yes | 04:25 |
| infinitycircuit | Scorp__, epiphany and konqueror? | 04:25 |
| Ryan_Macy | sudo apt-get install epiphany | 04:25 |
| Scorp__ | infinitycircuit: I'll try them and get the results | 04:26 |
| Blaqlight | finally my cooling policy is working... its about time lol. | 04:26 |
| infinitycircuit | Scorp__, I wouldn't install them both but those are respectively the GNOME and KDE pet browsers | 04:26 |
| Ryan_Macy | it would be a good idea to use the gnome one on ubuntu | 04:27 |
| Scorp__ | infinitycircuit: I just want to install to check where the prob is!! is it a ubuntu restriction or only firefox and opera that are creatin the prob... | 04:27 |
| Ryan_Macy | Scorp__ it sounds like your router bud | 04:27 |
| Ryan_Macy | if its producing bad js code then its not the browsers fault | 04:27 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: But the same browsers are working on other OS and working perfectly flawless.. | 04:28 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: tried opera on XP the other day and it worked. | 04:28 |
| Ryan_Macy | Scorp__ you should have said that lol | 04:28 |
| Ryan_Macy | did you try reinstalling firefox? | 04:28 |
| Scorp__ | Ryan_Macy: lol.. I told ya.. yeah, i did that too... infact got the stupid xulrunner error too... was without a browser for a day... haha | 04:29 |
| mio | Any idea how i can install ubuntu onto a laptop with no usb boot, no cd-rom, only floppy and a removeable harddrive ? | 04:29 |

| Blaqlight | Scorp__, try sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox, then reinstall. | 04:29 |

| Ryan_Macy | Dr_willis_ wont that configure x to the system he installed it on | 04:30 |
| Blaqlight | mio what about network? | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | Ryan_Macy, no idea. you can always reconfiogure X. | 04:30 |
| mio | infinitycircuit & dr_willis: it is a notebook harddrive that i have to plug in as usb to the desktop, i have a windows desktop, is this still possible ? | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | Ryan_Macy, with the New X auto-configuring stuff. it may not be an issue at all. | 04:31 |
| mio | blaqlight: what are the requirements for a network install ? | 04:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | mio, there are laptopsized ide->normal ide adaptoprs.. or you can try isntalling to it from the cd to the usb drive | 04:31 |

| Ryan_Macy | slammed87d21 do oyu have firestarter or are you talking about a router firewall | 04:32 |
| Blaqlight | mio, nevermind it requires a working cd player. | 04:33 |
| slammed87d21 | im not sure, i never had a firewall setup on here before and my router soesnt have it setup | 04:33 |
| Ryan_Macy | dmi3on make /home on a different partition this time so you dont lose you're import documents | 04:33 |
| Blaqlight | slammed87d21, install firestarter 'sudo apt-get install firestarter' | 04:34 |

| DozedOnLinux | hardheaded: as Blaqlight suggest, maybe try to install it to /home/game instead | 04:39 |
| hardheaded | is there a way to log in through root? | 04:39 |
| Ryan_Macy | mio try http://www.pocket-linux.org/ | 04:39 |
| Comrade-Badger | Is there a reason why sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has nothing in it about the video driver for me? | 04:39 |
| Blaqlight | hardheaded, if you insist on installing it too /usr/game then your going to need to be root to run or anything else the game, which of course is dangerous. | 04:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: you can try this autmated style one >sudo dpkg-reconfigure --default-priority xserver-xorg | 04:40 |
| alraune | Comrade-Badger: which card ? | 04:41 |
| Ryan_Macy | Blaqlight is right | 04:41 |

| hardheaded | I get that... but how would I login through root with the excepion of running from live cd? | 04:41 |
| mio | Ryan_Macy - what would i do with pocketlinux ? | 04:41 |
| Blaqlight | !sudo | hardheaded | 04:41 |
| ubottu | hardheaded: 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) | 04:41 |
| Comrade-Badger | which i thought would auto configure seeing as its so old but its only working with 600x800 | 04:41 |

| Ryan_Macy | mio install it then install xorg and build yourself a linux | 04:43 |
| hardheaded | still no writ permission | 04:43 |
| hardheaded | write | 04:43 |
| Ryan_Macy | you can try Damnsmalllinux with a usb drive | 04:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: try this in terminal instead , choose monitor type, dont touch graphic card config >gksu displayconfig-gtk | 04:43 |
| arrrghhh | i'm setting up my LAMP again... i installed apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 | 04:44 |
| wols | arrrghhh: a2enmod php5? | 04:44 |
| Blaqlight | hardheaded, which game requires you to install in a folder that isn't normally write enabled to common users? | 04:44 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: it may only support up to max of 1024 , as it is an old card | 04:44 |
| arrrghhh | wols, just the php5 package in the repos... | 04:44 |
| Comrade-Badger | DozedOnLinux, umm why dont use sudo or sudo -i or sudo su | 04:44 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: if you choose to do so. its a GUI based so i use gksu | 04:45 |
| hardheaded | GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR | 04:45 |
| Comrade-Badger | DozedOnLinux, well its being used witha 14 inch crt so i dont think the monitor will support much more than that anyways | 04:45 |
| Blaqlight | hardheaded, read the above comments. | 04:45 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: i can give you command for that too, just a sec | 04:45 |
| Blaqlight | ... or not. | 04:45 |
| arrrghhh | wols, seems i did need to restart apache2. | 04:45 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: montor caps > sudo ddcprobe | 04:46 |
| stemount^ | arrrghhh: i win ;-) | 04:46 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: dont go above the spec of the monitor, you wont like it so much, nor will your monitor | 04:46 |
| arrrghhh | stemount^, lol yessir you do. i didn't think i had to since i just installed it, but i guess it does make sense | 04:47 |

| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: i know it may seem as though that is what is going on, but if you know your monitor can do higher resolutions, you have to tell the vidcard it can too | 04:49 |
| DozedOnLinux | Comrade-Badger: about as laymans terms as i can get | 04:50 |
| Comrade-Badger | DozedOnLinux, what dont i understand? yea i know but the monitor will go up to 1280 ( i assume) | 04:50 |

| Comrade-Badger | tacojohn, yea i thought of that too but the reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt have the option here | 04:52 |
| Ryan_Macy | Its and arch program that configures your xconf to your video card | 04:52 |
| DozedOnLinux | either way, the xorg.conf needs to be told what the monitor can do, as the video card is already functional | 04:52 |

| alraune | Comrade-Badger:easier : sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log , ?Reverend? havent read | 05:21 |
| wols | Comrade-Badger: the reverend is a very quiet fellow. he doesn't say anything | 05:22 |
| mzuverink | ds[de], thanks, eventually someone out there will know the answer, I have faith, it is a very popular laptop | 05:22 |

| ds[de] | mzuverink: I hope so, sorry I can't help you here | 05:22 |
| Overand | here's a question - say i'm SSHed into a machine, and I want to start an X app that will run *on the machine* - as if a person sitting at it had clicked it. Can I do that? | 05:22 |
| Ryan_Macy | Kernel I was about to say, it works in arch ;) | 05:22 |
| chronographer | can anyone help fix this samba error message http://pastebin.com/mc1e2e4e | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | wype, named? what program is using the 'name' (label?) of a dvd disk? | 05:22 |
| wols | Overand: yes. ssh -X | 05:22 |
| Kernel | Ryan_Macy: yea it worked perfect in mandriva linux also. | 05:22 |
| Blaqlight | chronographer, ok Im looking sorry | 05:23 |
| chronographer | at theremote machine Overand? | 05:23 |
| Ryan_Macy | Kernel just play with it, you'll fix it eventually | 05:23 |
| VipOrX | wols, he means make the X app open on the machine he is SSHed into, not remote X | 05:23 |
| wols | chronographer: is this mountpoint in your fstab? | 05:23 |
| Kernel | Ryan_Macy: nah. i spent many hours fiddling about 2-3 weeks ago....with no luck | 05:23 |
| chronographer | no | 05:24 |
| ReverendMaynard | alraune: http://pastebin.com/f24ae68ae | 05:24 |
| Ryan_Macy | Kernel are you using it for a server or something? | 05:24 |
| chronographer | it doesn't nee dto be | 05:24 |
| Comrade-Badger | there he is alraune | 05:24 |
| Kernel | Ryan_Macy: well i need ports to be open to this computer | 05:24 |
| wols | chronographer: then you lack various options in the mount command | 05:24 |
| chronographer | oh really? | 05:24 |
| Kernel | Ryan_Macy: and i cant set the dhcp to assign by mac adress | 05:24 |
| wols | chronographer: you can do that too. set the DISPLAY env var properly | 05:24 |
| Ryan_Macy | kernel why not just open the ports on the router and forward the ports to your dhcp address | 05:24 |
| wols | actually using the X app then is kinda hard tho. and you have to deal with xauth of course | 05:25 |
| Ryan_Macy | all the new routers forward to hostnames and not dhcps | 05:25 |
| chronographer | does 'smbmount' do things differently? | 05:25 |
| Kernel | Ryan_Macy: thats what i have been doing ...but that way will no longer work | 05:25 |
| Overand | legend2440: New weirdness - the xubungu login sccreen (GDM i believe) is displaying at the correct resolution, BUT it looks likwe it's 'trying' to display the wrong rez - the position of hte login window is too far down and right, and the logout buttons are 'off of hte bottom' - but its not a CRT 'position' thing | 05:25 |

| Kernel | Ryan_Macy: thanks anyways... | 05:26 |
| qr__ | Overand: you can use screen to do it. open a screen session in a terminal on the remote machine (you need to physically go there and do this step) you can then ssh in and connect to the screen session. any x apps started from within the screen session will show up on the remote machine as long as you keep the original terminal window you started screen from open | 05:26 |
| wols | ReverendMaynard: what resolution do you want? | 05:26 |
| Overand | qr__: oh... good idea! | 05:26 |
| SNuxoll | qr__: no, screen automatically detaches when you close a terminal | 05:26 |

| wype | Hey, I just have a quick question, is it possible to mount a DVD, well, making it seem like the DVD is named something else? Or will I have to re burn it | 05:27 |
| wols | ReverendMaynard: (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (insufficient memory for mode) | 05:27 |
| SNuxoll | qr__: but the app will still be running if you close the terminal, BECAUSE screen detaches | 05:27 |
| Kernel | Overand: so do you actually know how to set up wpa with a static ip? | 05:27 |
| wols | SNuxoll: no | 05:27 |
| Kernel | or where you actually lying ;-o....im just playing around here | 05:27 |
| qr__ | SNuxoll: you need the screen session to be owned by a terminal that is owned by the local xserver in order to be able to run x applications on the remote machine through it | 05:27 |
| alraune | Comrade-Badger:easier : the log is saying the video card has too less memory for a 1024X768 resolution, max vert frequenz is 70Hz, would be enough | 05:27 |
| Blaqlight | chronographer, your problem is beyond my knowledge, sorry :( | 05:28 |
| usamahashimi | APT is giving this error: "The package ooobasis3.0-onlineupdate needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it" | 05:28 |

| SNuxoll | qr__: ah, would make sense, I've never used screen with X apps | 05:28 |
| SNuxoll | qr__: no point in it... | 05:28 |
| chronographer | ok. np Blaqlight, thanks anyway | 05:28 |
| wols | ReverendMaynard: how much memory on the trident card? | 05:28 |
| chronographer | smbmount | 05:28 |
| chronographer | oops | 05:28 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, he was running it in windows at 1024x768 | 05:28 |
| alraune | Comrade-Badger:easier : if you 've chosen the right driver for the card, you can give it a try, the doesn't have to be right | 05:28 |

| SNuxoll | qr__: eh, I just use VNC | 05:29 |
| SNuxoll | qr__: or FreeNX | 05:29 |
| ReverendMaynard | wols: it was just something i found in a box in the attic. all i know is that its a standard vga card so im guessing at least 8mb | 05:29 |
| alraune | dmi3on: see #grub also | 05:29 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, well thats the next question theres nothing to chose in xserver-xorg | 05:29 |
| Blaqlight | dmi3on, have you tried to reinstall grub? | 05:29 |
| qr__ | SNuxoll: what about running media? VNC doesn't really work with fullscreen video. | 05:29 |
| SNuxoll | qr__: heh, this is true | 05:29 |
| wols | ReverendMaynard: a standard vga card has 256kB and it can't do 1024x768... | 05:29 |
| alraune | Comrade-Badger:did you backup your xorg,conf ? | 05:30 |
| wols | Comrade-Badger: you'd have to edit xorg.conf manually | 05:30 |
| ReverendMaynard | wols: well i find it funny that it can go 1024x768 in windows though.... | 05:30 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, i didnt ReverendMaynard is on the machine speak with him im just an intermediary | 05:30 |
| alraune | wols: is waht i know, so probably wrong trident-driver (what I don't know) | 05:30 |
| Comrade-Badger | wols i know , buth theres nothing in there about it | 05:30 |
| wols | ReverendMaynard: ok, that means it has enough memory, 2MB or more. it's entirely possible that X doesn't see the full memory of the card properly for example | 05:31 |
| Ryan_Macy | alraune ubuntu uses the old trident driver i think | 05:31 |
| wols | or that it can only do it in 8 or 16 but not 24/32 bit which is default for X | 05:31 |
| wols | Comrade-Badger: yes, that's why YOU have to write it in there :) | 05:31 |
| alraune | ReverendMaynard:sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup | 05:32 |
| Comrade-Badger | wol ok ReverendMaynard has it in paste bin wheres the line go? | 05:32 |
| alraune | ReverendMaynard:have you got a live cd handy ? | 05:32 |
| wols | alraune: just tell me what trident drivers are there except the one he's using? | 05:32 |
| ReverendMaynard | wols: true, it goes to low color settings in windows in order for 1024 to work | 05:32 |
| alraune | wols: what I don't know... | 05:32 |
| ReverendMaynard | alraune: yeah i do | 05:33 |

| ReverendMaynard | alraune: ok backed up | 05:34 |
| chronographer | well its all default so I guess so | 05:35 |

| Ryan_Macy | chronographer im not too sure, maybe it's because you're using natilus on xfce but I doubt it, does thunar work fine? | 05:38 |
| Blaqlight | nautilus will work in xfce just fine if its installed, you should be using thunar though.. | 05:38 |

| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, why would that be 'ubuntu' specific? there are battery powered printers. | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, most are photo printers from what ive seen however. Not for docs. | 05:51 |
| grumpy | dr_willis_, ubuntu specific because i want to be sure it is fully supported by ubuntu | 05:51 |
| yoyoman37 | when I try to adjust resolution, my display starts flipping badly. Is there a way at boot to prevent it from using any video drivers other than some standard driver? | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, and the ones i saw used that pict-bridge/Bluetooth stuff.. again. these were Photo printers. | 05:51 |
| alraune | yoyoman37: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk , the run it, choose your monitor, change resolution | 05:52 |
| Smegzor | I have a network card that is detected, but I get no lights and no network. lspci sees it as a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) and it is listed by ifconfig. How can I make it work in Ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| grumpy | dr_willis, if the picture ones can handle black and white too then I'm ok with them. | 05:52 |
| alraune | yoyoman37: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk , then run it, choose your monitor, change resolution | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, find a printer ya like i guess. check cups.org and the ubuntu forums to see how well supported it is i guess. | 05:52 |
| ReverendMaynard | alraune: just put it on, restarting x now | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, i recall years ago a Laptop With a Printer Built in. :) | 05:52 |
| alraune | ReverendMaynard:/etc/init.d/gdm restart | 05:53 |
| grumpy | dr_willis_, I don't trust those lists of supported printers. I know they are full of it because i've got printers that are on the fully supported list that are not. The lists are just marketing hype unfortunately. | 05:53 |

| grumpy | dr_willis_ I really want to see a review of a laptop printer, battery operated, by an ubuntu magazine | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, guess best thing to do then is make sure whever ya get the printer from has a good return policy. | 05:54 |
| Smegzor | it runs great in XP | 05:54 |
| bullgard4 | Blaqlight: What do you mean by "the GUI" here? (I know the term 'GUI' as a very general word.) | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | grumpy, ive only seen like 2 or 3 battery piowered printers and they were mainly for 3x5 photos and so forth. But ive not looked lately | 05:55 |
| alraune | Smezgor: ifup eth0 ,install network applet for a GUI | 05:55 |
| Blaqlight | hardware sensors is in the gnome menus... the applet is in the panel. | 05:55 |
| bobertdos | Smegzor: okay then.........You said it was listed under ifconfig, so do you get an IP address or not? | 05:55 |
| Smegzor | alraune: its eth1. i'm using my on board lan at the moment which has other problems. | 05:55 |
| Blaqlight | hence both separate. | 05:55 |
| alraune | GUI= graphical user Interface | 05:55 |
| grumpy | dr_willis_ Actually I've already looked at costco thinking I'd try their printers and possibly return them. Unfortunately they have no battery powered laptops. | 05:55 |
| alraune | Smezgor: ifup eth1 ,install network applet for a GUI | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | GUI = what happens to your candy bar in the sun. | 05:56 |

| Scorp_ | DozedOnLinux: The router page wasnt opening on ubuntu.. Was working everywhere else.. | 06:14 |
| Burky | eh worth a shot | 06:14 |
| Burky | thanks | 06:14 |
| Drezard | how do i set up what my dns servers are on linux? | 06:14 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, upstate new york USA | 06:14 |
| DozedOnLinux | Scorp_: the web interface for your router ? | 06:14 |
| kiz0ph | I connect my mp4 to the computer. But it doesn't work. | 06:14 |
| visf | hi anybody know where is a good place to learn openoffice or is there a good book to recommend? | 06:15 |
| LSD|Ninja | Drezard: In the network panel under System -> Administration | 06:15 |
| DozedOnLinux | AllEars | 06:15 |
| Scorp_ | DozedOnLinux: yeah... 192.168.1.1 thing... it was not being accessed by ubuntu initially... was working with Vista, Xp and even OpenSUSE | 06:15 |
| Druui | 192.168.1.1 is your router right? | 06:15 |
| LogicalDash | F-spot opens every time I insert an SD-card. How do I make it stop doing that? | 06:16 |
| Drezard | im using ubuntu server???? | 06:16 |
| Druui | there is a way | 06:16 |
| Druui | places->computer | 06:16 |
| CydeWeys | What's the name of the program to download images off a digital camera with? | 06:16 |
| Drezard | so text-based cli only.... setting up what my dns servers are :P | 06:16 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, you? | 06:16 |
| LogicalDash | CydeWeys: F-Spot | 06:16 |
| Druui | then go to edit->perefence. there may be option there to stop f-spot doing | 06:16 |
| ReverendMaynard | alraune: im here, it works in 800x600 which is kinda tollerable | 06:16 |
| Scorp_ | DozedOnLinux: Actually, to be true, its only a half way breakthrough.. the page is loading now, using Konqueror.. But not rendering perfectly... | 06:16 |
| nickrud | LogicalDash prefs in the file manager, check the media tab | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | LogicalDash: System -> Preferences -> Removable Devices IIRC | 06:17 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, looks like germany | 06:17 |
| alraune | Comrade-Badger:so even in the bin theres better hardware, i assume... youre not kinda hunter&collecter ?|yep germ | 06:17 |
| LogicalDash | Jordan_U, thanks, that seems to be it | 06:17 |
| Druui | two way, jordan. :) | 06:17 |
| DozedOnLinux | Scorp_: progress is good | 06:17 |
| Druui | i guess i use places->computer->edit->preference->media. | 06:17 |
| Scorp_ | DozedOnLinux: yeah.. true..!! | 06:18 |
| Druui | long way. heh | 06:18 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, au contrare theres got to be more but oddly enough this is the only one with a svideo out | 06:18 |
| CydeWeys | LogicalDash: Isn't there another one? F-Spot doesn't seem to have an option to remove images automatically post-import? | 06:18 |
| CydeWeys | I recall using one that did that, I just don't remember the name. | 06:18 |
| CydeWeys | Maybe it's a KDE program? | 06:18 |
| alraune | ReverendMaynard: good to hear not crashed, you could(do another backup before) experiment with the default depth for higer res, but 256 colours... | 06:18 |
| LogicalDash | CydeWeys: Well, if you go into Synaptic, click Search, and choose to search through Description and Name, you'll probably find something | 06:19 |
| Comrade-Badger | alraune, hes back | 06:19 |
| alraune | Comrade-Badger:were talking... | 06:19 |
| Comrade-Badger | ah | 06:19 |
| Burky | wtf why is my e-mail not valid | 06:19 |
| Comrade-Badger | back to murk lore | 06:19 |
| CydeWeys | LogicalDash: Ahah, Digikam is what I was thinking of. It's a very good program. | 06:19 |
| DozedOnLinux | Burky: email ? not valid ? you trying to register a name here? | 06:20 |
| Burky | yes | 06:20 |

| DozedOnLinux | Burky: did you read the email they sent you ? | 06:20 |
| Burky | um it sent me an e-mail | 06:21 |
| LogicalDash | grumpy: doesn't Ubuntu come with HP drivers preinstalled? | 06:21 |
| Burky | it told me my e-mail wasnt valid | 06:21 |
| ReverendMaynard | alraune: how do i change the color depth in ubuntu? is it in a menu or is it done by hand in vi or a standard editor? | 06:21 |
| DozedOnLinux | Burky: well there is instrictions on what you need to do to activate it | 06:21 |
| Burky | grr dont i just need the /msg nickserv register <your-password> <your-email> command? | 06:21 |
| grumpy | LogicalDash, Possibly, I don't know. I'm trying to find a printer and heard HP was great. However they seem to think Linux is not worth handling on their website or phone support. | 06:22 |
| alraune | ReverendMaynard: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup2 | 06:22 |

| johnny_ | Hello guys, I have a question. Do all you Ubuntu users think it's really necessary to have a firewall under Ubuntu? | 06:32 |
| xelapond | 11111\ | 06:32 |
| xelapond | sry, cat on keyboard | 06:33 |
| alraune | xelapond: sudo apt-get remove --purge emacs , whatch up if apt tells you will remove half of your software (better cancel than) | 06:33 |
| Quenyar | johnny - if you don't have a firewall, you;re inviting someone to hack your system and make it part of their bot net | 06:33 |
| iratsu | hmm i deleted a partition but it still shows up in /dev... is there some way i can "update" /dev? | 06:34 |
| DozedOnLinux | !firewall | 06:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 06:34 |
| alraune | johnny_:yup | 06:34 |
| DozedOnLinux | !virus | johnny_ | 06:34 |
| ubottu | johnny_: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 06:34 |
| xelapond | alraune: same errors | 06:34 |
| johnny_ | Yeah I understand that, but I thought Linux was extremely secure, far more than any other operating system? | 06:34 |
| Josh_1203 | Can anyone help me share files from Windows to Ubuntu? | 06:34 |
| xelapond | alraune: it tries to byte compile the addon packages | 06:34 |
| DozedOnLinux | !smb | 06:35 |
| ubottu | 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. | 06:35 |
| LogicalDash | johnny_: Linux sure is secure, but if you use it to send data through an insecure route, then your data is insecure | 06:35 |
| Josh_1203 | k thanks | 06:35 |
| alraune | johnny_:if you diary is written on waterproof paper, you wouldn't have open, or ? its easy to tackle even a secure open system, e.g. crash it | 06:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | josh thank Ubottu :P | 06:35 |
| Quenyar | johnny, lots of built in security, makes it more of a challenger than Windows, but some people enjoy a challenge - any system can be hacked. And because your Linux system is more capable, it is a bigger prize. | 06:36 |
| slightglitch | Has anyone seen this error by chance, and can you tell me what might cause it? http://pastebin.com/m61bbefb4 | 06:36 |
| johnny_ | Quenyar: So I'm guessing your suggesting I keep Firestarter? | 06:37 |
| DozedOnLinux | Quenyar: no system in the world is 100% secure, unless you never use it, even then the ants will take i over and make happy times | 06:37 |

| Rolcol | I don't mean the whole disk, sda. I mean a partition like sda2 | 06:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | Rolcol, cause you never formatted it. a partition is a set size, ready for formatting, not that it is active or can be used till it is formatted for what it will be used for | 06:41 |

| linuxdominator | DozedOnLinux: you do not need to use 64bit OS... you have choice | 06:48 |
| randal | I KNOW | 06:48 |
| juannicolas | !iproute2 | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iproute2 | 06:48 |
| zcat[1] | Jason2gs: You can easily set GDM to log you in automatically. You can also set 'no password' but that won't really do what you want, you will still need to enter your username and them press enter at the password prompt | 06:48 |
| randal | im install a pregram i need to know | 06:49 |
| markekeller | Hey, all - do you recommend installing the Radeon 9600 ATI drivers from the ATI site, as explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or is it better to use Envy? Or is there no difference? | 06:49 |
| randal | how do i tell if i have 32 bit or 64 bit | 06:49 |
| linuxdominator | randal: uname -a look for x86_64 for 64bit | 06:49 |
| juannicolas | !iproute | 06:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iproute | 06:49 |
| DozedOnLinux | linuxdominator: yes i am aware of that. i chose it originally cause i wasnt sure. and 64bit had just been coming out, or so i thought at the time | 06:49 |
| linuxdominator | !info iproute | 06:49 |

| Detrix | I need to know how the get Ubuntu to dial out. I have set up the connection but it does not actually dial out. How do I get Ubuntu to actually dial.? | 06:50 |
| linuxdominator | !dialup | 06:50 |
| 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 | 06:50 |
| === samrose_ is now known as samrose | ||
| zcat[1] | Jason2gs: The ubuntu install process won't let you proceed until you set a password. also there's no such thing as a root password (you can set one but we won't tell you how, and strongly advise people to use sudo instead) | 06:50 |
| DozedOnLinux | markekeller: i believe it is suggested you use the ones that are offered by the system and not the ones from the STI site | 06:50 |
| linuxdominator | markekeller: depends what you want | 06:50 |
| linuxdominator | try em both | 06:50 |
| alraune | ReverendMaynard: online ? | 06:50 |
| DozedOnLinux | ATI site * | 06:50 |
| Detrix | read that allready. it does not say how to actually get ubuntu to dial. | 06:51 |
| linuxdominator | sorry detrix been 15 years since dialup for me | 06:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | Detrix: did you try as suggested > Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 06:52 |

| mjburling | Anyone know where I can get a good Arabic keyboard layout? | 06:52 |
| Detrix | but I have not choice at this time | 06:52 |
| smokewon | mkisofs is pathetic..... | 06:52 |
| markekeller | DozedOnLinux: So you think I should try it from "Restricted Modules", then? | 06:52 |
| smokewon | this is why i end up using godam windows again, because of this CLI rubbish | 06:52 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: http://www.granneman.com/techinfo/linux/burningcds/makeanisoimage.htm | 06:52 |
| linuxdominator | whatever ;) | 06:52 |
| DozedOnLinux | markekeller: i would go with the one that is supplied by Ubuntu first, if that fails, then Envy is in the repos too | 06:53 |
| Detrix | DozedOnLinux.....nope...I will check it out | 06:53 |
| DozedOnLinux | markekeller: it is they just put it in | 06:53 |
| DozedOnLinux | !envy | 06:53 |
| 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 | 06:53 |

| zcat[1] | smokewon: You could probably make an iso in fileroller .. I know it can unpack them | 06:53 |
| smokewon | noooo, im not trying to make a iso of a CD image, im trying to make an ISO out of a folder... | 06:53 |
| arpy_ | linuxdominator: thx | 06:53 |
| Jason2gs | zcat[1], my apologizes :p That's what I meant. The password prompt in the terminal. Setting my user password to nothing would make it so I don't have to type anything in when that prompt comes up, correct? Is this possible? | 06:54 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/directory/ | 06:54 |
| markekeller | DozedOnLinux: I actually have EnvyNG installed, and used it for my last installation, but Blender didn't work properly, and now it's reverted to Mesa for some reason, so I'm trying to get acceleration back, and get Blender to work good to. :) | 06:54 |
| mjburling | Where can I download keyboard layouts for ubuntu? | 06:54 |
| DozedOnLinux | markekeller: my bad that was for Detrix , | 06:54 |
| smokewon | linuxdominator why the /tmp etc | 06:54 |
| linuxdominator | mjburling: they should be in system>prefs>keyboard | 06:54 |
| smokewon | ? | 06:54 |
| mjburling | linuxdominator: The prepackaged Arabic one is really bad... are there any other resources? | 06:55 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: why not? use /home/you if u want | 06:55 |
| Ab3L | good morning | 06:55 |
| linuxdominator | mjburling: not off top of my head, but I GUARANTEE google knows | 06:55 |
| mjburling | All I can come up with is how to go where you just suggested. | 06:55 |
| DozedOnLinux | Detrix: i dont know about the dialup side of Ubuntu, otherwise i would be glad to help you. best i can do is hunt down what might be useful for you to get it working, and that may take some time | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | Jason2gs: Let me put it this way. For many many years, Microsoft thought that it would be much easier not to have passwords, run all users as Administrator, etc. After all, most PCs are single-user, etc..... With Vista, they realised the Unix people actually had a much better model. There's a reason Windows has millions of viruses and Linux/BSD have none and it has very little to do with market share. | 06:56 |
| Rolcol | smokewon: usually advice for how to do things is given in commands because they're easier than telling someone to go to places and press certian buttons. With the CLI, you can copy and paste the commands as people give them to you without needing to do much extra. | 06:56 |
| linuxdominator | mjburling: http://duniacaktuh.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/arabic-fonts-on-ubuntu-804/ ? | 06:56 |
| smokewon | linuxdominator: this is what i get: joe@joe-desktop:~/Desktop$ mkisofs -o /home/joe/slackware.sio /home/joe/slackware | 06:56 |
| smokewon | Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. | 06:56 |
| smokewon | mkisofs: No such file or directory. Invalid node - '/home/joe/slackware'. | 06:56 |
| smokewon | what the bloody hell does this mean? | 06:56 |
| rand0m- | what is the most stable browser in ubuntu - all 3 main ones i use keep crashign (opera, firefox, and konqueror) | 06:56 |
| DozedOnLinux | Detrix: if you will be on for a while, i would certainly help in hunting a fix, otherwise, i dont know what to tell you | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | Jason2gs: So please, if you want a passwordless, all-admin-all-the-time system, by all means switch back to windows... | 06:56 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: does that directory exist? | 06:56 |
| smokewon | yes | 06:57 |
| joetheodd | smokewon, everyone steals my username! | 06:57 |
| Detrix | DozedOn>> thanx for your help, I am trying to find the alternative you suggested in the docs before I go and try it. | 06:57 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: should work... mkisofs is a very stable app | 06:57 |
| zod21 | exit | 06:57 |
| tacosteve | smokewon, you put sio instead of iso | 06:57 |
| linuxdominator | doesnt' matter | 06:57 |
| smokewon | theres a directory called "slackware" on my desktop | 06:57 |
| smokewon | im trying to turn that into an iso | 06:57 |
| Commie_Jebus | help! after someone imed me the beep thingy is keep on repeating! I tryed closing and restarting pidgin but nothing happened | 06:57 |
| linuxdominator | well you never said desktop | 06:57 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: mkisofs -o /home/joe/slackware.sio /home/joe/Desktop/slackware | 06:58 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: mkisofs -o /home/joe/slackware.iso /home/joe/Desktop/slackware | 06:58 |
| smokewon | ohhhhh, yup i got it, damn sorry i missed that | 06:58 |
| linuxdominator | hehe | 06:58 |
| Commie_Jebus | help? | 06:58 |
| zcat[1] | smokewon: You could use k3b or brasero .. they're kinda like nero.. nice GUI stuff | 06:58 |
| === zK__ is now known as zK | ||
| linuxdominator | Commie_Jebus: you can disable system beep in system>prefs>sound>system beep | 06:59 |
| Detrix | I will actually install Ubuntu on to my laptops hard drive. I will be back...hahahah | 06:59 |
| smokewon | zcat[1] yeah but brasero doesnt seem to let me make iso's out of folders etc | 06:59 |
| zcat[1] | I know k3b can make ISOs instead of burning to disk | 06:59 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: eh? yes it does | 06:59 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: you have the best tool... mkisofs, simple, but yes, you need to type it :) | 06:59 |
| zcat[1] | Just burn and pick 'to image' instead of a drive .. brasero should be the same but I haven't checked | 06:59 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jason2gs: Setting no password isn't going to make you more susceptible to viruses or other malware, but it'll make it trivial for an attacker to break into your system | 06:59 |
| smokewon | SNuxoll it does? i dont see where | 07:00 |
| linuxdominator | umm there is no root password by default, does not make it trivial to attack | 07:00 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: burn, drop down the drive selection, select "File image" | 07:00 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: there is a root password by default | 07:00 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: it's randomly generated on each install | 07:00 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: But if everybody ran their system that way, Linux would soon have the same kind of virus issues that 'doze does. I like Linux how it is, WITHOUT a virus problem... | 07:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | linuxdenominator: He was asking about his user password | 07:00 |
| linuxdominator | SNuxoll: oh really ? hehe | 07:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: That's rediculous, viruses don't need admin privileges. | 07:01 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: there was this big glaring bug a while ago | 07:01 |
| Rolcol | smokewon: in brasero, you have to go through it as you would make a data CD. When the pop up comes up asking what drive to burn to, you can choose file image instead. | 07:01 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: the installer wrote the password it generated in the install log | 07:01 |
| smokewon | mkisofs worked, but not really, every thing has ":1" at the end of it, all files within the iso | 07:01 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: Depends what they want to do. Viruses with root can hide much more easily than viruses without root. | 07:02 |
| smokewon | why did mkisofs put a ":1" at the end of every file? | 07:02 |
| zcat[1] | smokewon: ";1" because it's part of the ISO standard for filenames | 07:02 |
| smokewon | ok so thats normal? why dont i see that with other files within ISO's? | 07:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: sure, they can hide easier... but they don't really need to hide at all :) most users won't notice new files in hidden directories in their home dirs | 07:03 |
| zcat[1] | smokewon: other software will do the same, they just won't tell you.. | 07:03 |
| smokewon | oh ok, well thanks for the help people, ill see if this works, brb | 07:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | (02:00:52 AM) SNuxoll: linuxdominator: there is a root password by default << No there isn't, check you /etc/shadow | 07:04 |
| prince_jammys | it isn't possible to log in as root in a default ubuntu install | 07:04 |
| linuxdominator | whatever it is locked... you cannot login as root by default | 07:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | linuxdenominator: And no one was disputing that - thanks for your input :) | 07:05 |
| johnny_ | I'm try to set up a WEP 64/128 bit Hex on our home wireless router, does anyone know how to go about doing it within Ubuntu? | 07:05 |
| SNuxoll | prince_jammys: technically, it is | 07:06 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: there are many reasons wht Windows has the problems it does. Users running as admin is only part of the problem. What really annoys me is people who migrate to Linux to get away from Windows viruses and then want to change Linux in ways that are the _cause_ of Windows virus problems.. Make it easier to download and run binaries, click on a website link to install software, get rid of passwords and run as root, etc... | 07:06 |
| SNuxoll | prince_jammys: your chance of guesing the correct password is slim to none however | 07:06 |
| prince_jammys | SNuxoll: if it is, the documentation is flawed | 07:06 |
| r2s | does usbserial.ko included in most distro by default?? | 07:06 |
| prince_jammys | SNuxoll: the documentation says that the root account is locked by default | 07:06 |
| prince_jammys | not protected by a random password that one might guess | 07:06 |
| linuxdominator | r2s: ... it should be, I use a usb>serial device | 07:07 |
| linuxdominator | !root | 07:07 |
| ubottu | 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 | 07:07 |
| SNuxoll | prince_jammys: must have changed it since I last even cared about the root account | 07:07 |
| SNuxoll | prince_jammys: used to be that way | 07:07 |
| johnny_ | I'm trying to setup a WEP 64/128 bit Hex security on our home wireless router, does anyone know how to go about doing this in Ubuntu? | 07:07 |
| zcat[1] | "no password" is quite different from "a password of '' so you can just press enter" | 07:07 |
| SNuxoll | johnny_: why bother if you are using wep? | 07:07 |
| linuxdominator | johnny_: ya use WPA and it should be in your user manual | 07:08 |
| r2s | linuxdominator: I mean most distro kernel 2.6.x included that by default??.. coz I'm making a 3G/HSDPA dialer package.. and thinking if I should include that in the package | 07:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: WIndows is suspectible to viruses for 2 reasons: 1 market share, 2 homogeneous platform. Not that #2 probably contributed to #1, and Linux has neither | 07:08 |
| SNuxoll | johnny_: if you're going to encrypt your network use WPA, using no encryption and a mac filter is better than wep | 07:08 |
| hendrixski | join #grails | 07:08 |
| hendrixski | oops | 07:08 |
| linuxdominator | linuxdominator: you cannot count on it, you need to research | 07:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | Not=Note | 07:08 |
| linuxdominator | mac filters are easier to bypass than wep | 07:09 |
| jobenjo | Strangely... all of my swap space on my disk has dissappeared. What can I do to restore it? | 07:09 |
| Commie_Jebus | joejoecircusboy: and also because it is not open-source and therefor dosnt have a alot of develp | 07:09 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: not really.... | 07:09 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: Market share is not the main reason. Windows #1 problem imho is that there's little seperation between 'data' and 'software' -- you 'open' a file the same way. If it's a document, windows launches the application. If it's a program, windows runs it. | 07:09 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: both are pretty easy to get around, one just requires some more time | 07:09 |
| linuxdominator | for some SNuxoll | 07:09 |
| wols | linuxdominator: they are about equally useful. ie. not at all. WEP has the advantage of obfuscation tho | 07:09 |
| linuxdominator | matter of firing up kismet | 07:09 |
| zcat[1] | ... and then they keep insisting on being able to include 'code' inside 'document' formats in ways that make it easy for virus writers | 07:09 |
| smokewon | Unfortunatly that didnt work | 07:10 |
| smokewon | sorry how do i burn ISO's with brasero again? from files i mean | 07:10 |
| linuxdominator | jobenjo: um... how are seeing this | 07:10 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: Data Disc, add the files | 07:10 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: ricght click on ISO and say burn ;) | 07:10 |
| smokewon | yup done that | 07:10 |
| linuxdominator | from nautilus | 07:10 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: then select Burn, select file image | 07:10 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: Note that Apple exhibits far more of that type of behaviour, yet does not have the problem that Windows does. Why? Market share | 07:10 |
| zh | ＃ubuntu-tw | 07:10 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: he wants to make an iso from a bunch of files | 07:11 |
| smokewon | its not asking me to select file image | 07:11 |
| linuxdominator | not what he asked this time | 07:11 |
| smokewon | it jsut burns after i click on burn | 07:11 |
| SNuxoll | joejoecircusboy: not exactly true either, os x has access restrictions | 07:11 |
| SNuxoll | linuxdominator: yes, it is | 07:11 |
| zh | ubuntu-tw | 07:11 |
| jobenjo | linuxdomainator: Top and free -m list 0k used 0k total 0k free | 07:11 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: you need to select burn from the file menu | 07:11 |
| smokewon | yes i want to make a ISO image from a bunch of files | 07:11 |
| smokewon | oh ok | 07:11 |
| jobenjo | linuxdominator: (that is) | 07:11 |
| smokewon | there is no file menu | 07:12 |
| smokewon | only Project | 07:12 |
| smokewon | Edit, View etc | 07:12 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: Project... | 07:12 |
| zcat[1] | smokewon: I don't know that brasero can do it. try k3b instead? | 07:12 |
| linuxdominator | jobenjo: you could paste output of sudo fdisk -l for me | 07:12 |
| SNuxoll | zcat[1]: yes, brasero can do it | 07:12 |
| SNuxoll | zcat[1]: I did it earlier today | 07:12 |
| zcat[1] | SNuxoll: ok... | 07:13 |
| smokewon | I dont see where its happening, i just tried on Project => Data CD (whcih does not make an ISO) | 07:13 |
| SNuxoll | bah, my irssi windows are all fubared | 07:13 |
| smokewon | so tried: | 07:13 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: make a new project that's a data cd | 07:13 |
| zcat[1] | SNuxoll: I just cheked and couldn't figure out how. You did understand the problem.. creat ISO from a folder.. not 'burn an iso' ? | 07:13 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: add your files to the CD | 07:13 |
| smokewon | yup | 07:13 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: then click burn, it will show a dialog | 07:13 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: can you rip the files off a cd? | 07:14 |
| joejoecircusboy | SNuxoll: Right, and how would that protect again any of the attacks you just highlighted? How would running as 'non-root' protect against opening malicious programs as documents, or malicious script content in documents? (i.e. the weaknesses in Windows you just cited as its downfall) | 07:14 |
| smokewon | i can rip files off a cd, just not turn files into a ISO image | 07:14 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: there will be a dropdown to select the drive you burn with, pull it down and select "File image" | 07:14 |
| smokewon | i click burn theres no dialog after that, it just burns | 07:14 |
| linuxdominator | smokewon: then it is dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/joe/Desktop/yourcd.iso | 07:14 |
| SNuxoll | joejoecircusboy: I don't think I know of a OS X program that allows scripts in documents | 07:14 |
| jobenjo | linuxdominator: uh-oh... partition table... http://dpaste.com/70328/ | 07:14 |
| joejoecircusboy | SNuxoll: THe browser? Office suite? | 07:15 |
| linuxdominator | and i know that mounts right in daemon tools for instance smokewon | 07:15 |
| SNuxoll | joejoecircusboy: MS Office and iWork on the mac don't allow scripts | 07:15 |
| smokewon | need it to boot off though :S | 07:15 |
| linuxdominator | not really good jobenjo | 07:15 |
| SNuxoll | joejoecircusboy: and javascript is generally sandboxed | 07:15 |
| jobenjo | linuxdominator: The partition table problem? | 07:15 |
| SNuxoll | smokewon: making bootable discs is a different matter all together | 07:15 |
| linuxdominator | jobenjo: next time you reboot it probably will not start up... | 07:16 |
| joejoecircusboy | SNuxoll: Doesn't prevent it from being exploited (Look up Firefox vulnerabilities from the last couple of years) | 07:16 |
| smokewon | brb | 07:16 |
| SNuxoll | joejoecircusboy: Gecko sucks anyways ;) | 07:16 |
| joejoecircusboy | SNuxoll: Fair enough, but that doesn't refute my point ;) | 07:16 |
| jobenjo | linuxdominator: We just rebooted the machine, so that wasn't the problem. This is a xen-hosted machine, so maybe that's what's going on? | 07:16 |
| SNuxoll | joejoecircusboy: no, it doesn't | 07:16 |
| zcat[1] | SNuxoll: Weird.. I just went back and NOT it lets me change that.. before (perhaps because I hadn't put anything in the folder?) it wouldn't let me pick anything but the burner .. | 07:16 |
| zcat[1] | s/NOT/NOW/ | 07:16 |
| SNuxoll | zcat[1]: strange | 07:17 |
| Rat409 | /cl | 07:17 |
| linuxdominator | jobenjo: did this happen after last reboot | 07:17 |
| zcat[1] | anyhow.. smokewon yes, do what SNuxoll said.. or k3b works the same way but brasero should let you do it. | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | joejoecircusboy: Which is why I personally run my browser as an underprivileged user ( or setup selinux / apparmer policies, depending on how lazy I am :) | 07:17 |

| zcat[1] | Hmmm.. cat on keyboard? | 07:18 |
| jobenjo | linuxdominator: No. This happened, we rebooted, and the problem persisted. | 07:18 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: Ya, there are solutions to this problem, but it's not as simple as "don't set a root password" (which is what started this discussion) | 07:18 |
| SNuxoll | zcat[1]: I don't like K3B, is a KDE app, I refuse to install non-gtk apps :) | 07:18 |
| linuxdominator | jobenjo: i would contact you xen provider, I am no xen expert, I use openvz ;) | 07:18 |
| linuxdominator | and i would take a backup | 07:19 |
| SNuxoll | zcat[1]: but I'm a purist who likes a consistent looking desktop | 07:19 |
| jobenjo | linuxdominator: Just started. Thank you for your help! | 07:19 |
| Rat409 | gnomebaker or graveman are good also | 07:19 |
| zcat[1] | SNuxoll: horses for courses. I kinda like k3b.. then again I have a desktop theme that looks a lot like vista so clearly I have no taste at all ;) | 07:19 |
| Rat409 | lol | 07:20 |
| dexi | is there a way to print to a network printer on a mostly windows network that im wired to? | 07:20 |
| andi | hi<@all | 07:20 |
| wols | dexi: sure | 07:20 |
| DogBoy | what does vista look like? | 07:20 |
| dexi | wols: is it easy? | 07:20 |
| wols | DogBoy: ask ##windows | 07:20 |
| con-man | what audio codec do I need to play windows media audio in linux? | 07:20 |
| zcat[1] | glassy and blurry and crystal-like | 07:20 |
| andi | some command line geeks here? | 07:20 |
| SNuxoll | dexi: crap basically? | 07:20 |
| SNuxoll | andi: you called? | 07:20 |
| wols | üdemostly. two choices either via IPP from cups or samba | 07:20 |
| DogBoy | wols, it was a retorical question | 07:20 |
| wols | should use CUPS first | 07:20 |
| andi | Hi SNuxoll | 07:21 |
| dexi | SNuxoll: huh? | 07:21 |
| SNuxoll | con-man: just install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:21 |
| wols | DogBoy: do you have a ubuntu support problem? | 07:21 |
| mkquist | vista? what's that? | 07:21 |
| andi | i have an ftp username which contains an "@" | 07:21 |
| SNuxoll | dexi: you asked what vista looks like :P | 07:21 |
| DogBoy | what's up wols | 07:21 |
| dexi | SNuxoll: no i didnt | 07:21 |
| dexi | SNuxoll: you must have misread | 07:21 |
| mkquist | is vista some kinda linux program? | 07:21 |
| wols | DogBoy: I asked, "Do you have a ubuntu support question"? | 07:21 |
| alraune | dexi:turn on win file n printersharig, over (ubu) places>network>winNet>pc>printer... | 07:21 |
| SNuxoll | dexi: bah, yup | 07:21 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: We might see virtualization technology lead to a more generalized form of sandboxing, where individual apps are essentially started in lite-VMs of their own, with a share folder or something for file downloads | 07:21 |
| DogBoy | yes but why | 07:21 |
| mkquist | jk... of course | 07:21 |
| andi | I wanna mount an FTP drive via curlftpfs | 07:21 |
| con-man | SNuxoll: ty | 07:22 |
| dexi | thanks alraune | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | joejoecircusboy: Not setting a root password in Ubuntu is really just a way to encourage good habits, the way that Ubuntu has sudo setup there is no technical difference of note between "su -c" and sudo or "sudo -s" and "su" but a huge difference in how users tend to act with the two setups. | 07:22 |
| andi | now i get something like user@name@mydomain.com | 07:22 |
| wols | DogBoy: cause you are OT and this is a ubuntu supporty channel only. if you want to smalltalk: /msg ubottu OT | 07:22 |
| andi | can I escape the first @ somehow which is part f the username? | 07:22 |
| zcat[1] | at least it doesn't run like vista.. I have a friend uses vista, their computer has 1.5x CPU speed, twice the ram, basically half-again or better specs on every component than mine, but it just seems 'sluggish' in comparison.. | 07:22 |
| SNuxoll | andi: andi yes | 07:22 |
| fyrestrtr | Jordan_U: there is a difference between su, su -c, sudo, sudo -s, sudo -i, sudo su - etc. | 07:23 |
| linuxdominator | andi: try wrapping whole thing in single quotes ? 'reger@@host.com' | 07:23 |
| andi | FTP guis do it ,) | 07:23 |
| dexi | alraune: what if I don't see a printer inside that PC's directory? | 07:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: Understood, and I like that. But when a new user asks why, we should go into a rant about malware and virus threats | 07:23 |
| zcat[1] | actually it seems 'sluggish' compared to my laptop which is even lower spec. | 07:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | *shouldn't | 07:23 |
| dexi | alraune: but i know it's connected... | 07:23 |
| SNuxoll | andi: use %43 I believe | 07:23 |
| fyrestrtr | Jordan_U: and, not setting a root password is not a good habit, imo. | 07:23 |
| wols | zcat[1]: do you have a ubuntu support question? | 07:23 |
| andi | SNuxoll: thanks, I try | 07:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | fyrestrtr: He's referring to root lacking a valid password (not allowing logins with no password) | 07:23 |
| zcat[1] | no, I just feel like ranting. I may answer a few questions if I see something I know the answer to... | 07:24 |
| linuxdominator | if you guys wanna chat go to -ot | 07:24 |
| wols | zcat[1]: then rant elsewhere please | 07:24 |
| zcat[1] | yah, ok... | 07:24 |
| SNuxoll | zcat[1]: join #ubuntu-offtopic then | 07:24 |
| fyrestrtr | joejoecircusboy: thanks -- but root should have a password, it helps in system recovery. | 07:24 |
| wols | fyrestrtr: no it does not | 07:24 |
| alraune | dexi:if you can see the pc its attched too, take a look on the pc the printer is connected too (fw, printer sharing.. etc) | 07:24 |
| zcat[1] | fyrestrtr: not really.. | 07:24 |
| SNuxoll | fyrestrtr: not really | 07:24 |
| fyrestrtr | to say that its a good habit to have an 'unknown' or 'invalid' root password is good practice is not right. | 07:25 |
| zcat[1] | You can boot to a root prompt easily enough if you have to, no password required | 07:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | fyrestrtr: I think Ubuntu allows root login in single user mode (for that type of thing) - don't quote me on that though | 07:25 |
| wols | fyrestrtr: the policy of ubuntu and this channel is "no root password" and that's it and believe me you won#t change it. | 07:25 |
| SNuxoll | fyrestrtr: when you boot into single user mode you don't need the root password | 07:25 |
| dexi | alraune: ok i'll go ask my dad about it, i think he's running it | 07:25 |
| dexi | alraune: its vista, do you know what needs to be done? | 07:25 |
| * Omar87 sends his greetings to everyone in the room. | 07:25 | |
| SNuxoll | fyrestrtr: being able to login as root is a bad thing | 07:25 |
| wols | fyrestrtr: it's not unknown since there is NO root password | 07:25 |
| xiven | Hey guys | 07:25 |
| fyrestrtr | wols: yes, I know what the policy is, thanks :) | 07:25 |
| xiven | I'm needing some help over a couple things. | 07:25 |
| wols | fyrestrtr: then stop this discussion please | 07:25 |
| linuxdominator | fyrestrtr: it is a good policy, no reason to even talk about it | 07:25 |

| deeporange1 | Hello all... I am new to Ubuntu and have a question about linux software. Anyone got a moment to spare to answer a question or two? | 07:27 |
| dexi | ok thanks alraune i'll see what i can do | 07:27 |
| xiven | SAMBA I would install onto the Linux machine, or the Windows machine? | 07:27 |
| linuxdominator | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrinterSharing xiven | 07:27 |
| wols | dexi: check with smbclient -L <ip of windows> if the printer is available on the network | 07:27 |
| alraune | dexi :type: /list in your irc client | 07:27 |
| zcat[1] | 'cos it would have to hash down to '*' and the hashes just don't work that way. | 07:27 |
| xiven | I should mention the machine with the printer is running Vista | 07:27 |
| xiven | ok | 07:27 |
| xiven | How about Scanning for Available wirless networks (802.11G) with Ubuntu? | 07:27 |
| wols | xiven: neither. samba is if you want to share a linux disk or printer with windows. if you want to access a windows printer, it's not needed. is the windows printer available on the network? | 07:28 |
| fyrestrtr | deeporange1: just ask your question, if anyone knows, they will help :) | 07:28 |
| wols | xiven: iwlist | 07:28 |
| dexi | wols: is there a command to list all IPs in the network? | 07:28 |
| zcat[1] | just ask deeporange1, we'll decide if we can answer it | 07:28 |
| deeporange1 | Hey thanks. | 07:28 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: Actually, the hash is '!' on my install... but I'm splitting hairs :) | 07:28 |
| Rat409 | iwlist scanning? | 07:28 |
| wols | dexi: no | 07:28 |
| dexi | crap | 07:28 |
| wols | dexi: well there is arp.... sorta | 07:28 |
| wols | dexi: your windows box knows what IP it is | 07:28 |

| jemtv | wondering if someone can tell me i need to update the kernel to support my tv card in mythtv i have found this site but just wondering if someone can explain do i need to tyep all this stuff in somewhere? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=cbb94521cff24c98c2dbee28fb95e007c6bcaa43 | 07:29 |

| wols | deeporange1: what exactly did you do? | 07:29 |
| zcat[1] | all the other locked accounts are * tho.. | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | deeporange1: Try testdisk | 07:29 |
| deeporange1 | I accidentally deallocated my media drive (that also contains my work stuff too) | 07:30 |
| wols | jemtv: don't | 07:30 |
| SigmaProjects | Here's the error in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m125b716c | 07:30 |
| deeporange1 | I guess my file naming tables or whatnot were deleted | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | deeporange1: But if you actually reformatted the drive then you are most likely SOL | 07:30 |
| linuxdominator | deeporange1: i bet this can do it http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 07:30 |
| linuxdominator | if it is possible | 07:30 |
| wols | deeporange1: unless you KNOW what happened, trying to rescue is futile and probably does more harm than good | 07:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: ya... I think '*' is used for an active account for which there is no valid password, where as '!' actually disables the account (but not for sudo apparently) | 07:31 |

| Jordan_U | deeporange1: If it's just your partition table that is screwed up then testdisk will fix it | 07:31 |

| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: me too (well, I do both) | 07:32 |
| wols | jemtv: compile your own kernel | 07:32 |
| webpirate | my amsn won't connect anymore | 07:32 |
| webpirate | anyone having the same problem? | 07:32 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: just doing /bin/fasle would still allow FTP auth, for example | 07:32 |
| wols | webpirate: yes it's common | 07:32 |
| deeporange1 | I have looked into the ultimateWell, ultimate boot disc doesn't have what I need. Basically I need the file tables or whatever rebuilt. | 07:33 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy : http://pastebin.com/m125b716c thats the error | 07:33 |
| jemtv | wols, can you explain more? sorry so new to all this | 07:33 |
| deeporange1 | Programs such as disc recovery wizard do this. | 07:33 |
| wols | jemtv: you will mess it up and have an unworkable kernel and system. that's all | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | deeporange1: Again, testdisk should do what you need | 07:33 |
| linuxdominator | deeporange1: if you read man page of your filesystem you may find out how | 07:33 |
| wols | jemtv: what kernel version do you need? | 07:33 |

| deeporange1 | Really!? | 07:35 |
| wols | jemtv: useless info. what chip does it use is more important. and I asked you something | 07:35 |
| deeporange1 | Seems like a nice bot thought | 07:35 |
| webpirate | ok...so I guess its an amsn issue? should I upgrade? | 07:35 |
| jemtv | wols, sorry thought i replied | 07:35 |
| DogBoy | jemtv, havey you looked at using mythbuntu | 07:35 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: oddly enough, this command: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` xinetd | 07:35 |
| jemtv | wols, not sure which one it is what is te terminal cmd to check | 07:36 |
| alraune | deeporange1: ubottu is a bot, thank Jordan_U who triggered it | 07:36 |
| linuxdominator | webpirate: it is an msn problem more likely... you could try using pidgin, which is better imo | 07:36 |

| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: Few ideas: 1. if you don't need vmware, try remove it explicitly first, then do the above. 2. Did you update your apt db first? (apt-get update), 3. Try removing vmware with dpkg | 07:37 |
| prince_jammys | SigmaProjects: have you been able to isolate which of those three packages causes the error? | 07:37 |
| linuxdominator | jemtv: this is hard stuff.. you are gonna have to either do some readin, or find a supported card, there are lots of lists | 07:37 |
| wols | prince_jammys: none does. vmware-server does | 07:37 |
| prince_jammys | it | 07:37 |
| prince_jammys | it's a bizarre error message | 07:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | ya | 07:37 |
| wols | it's a severaly broken package or possibly a disk problem | 07:38 |
| jemtv | dogboy, my tv tuner has a video in so i have just pluged that into the video out of my amplifier, but i dont know how to get the video in to work, because i have tried scanning but thats not correct because its not the aireal cable | 07:38 |

| linuxdominator | prince_jammys: it totally is, you may have to clean it out, but I would suggest a reinstall through apt, then try to uninstall --purge | 07:41 |

| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: you may need to run vmware-config.pl as well | 07:41 |
| xiven | Can you install Vista into VirtualBox? | 07:41 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: a file pager is no problem. | 07:41 |
| wols | xiven: ask #vbox | 07:42 |
| zcat[1] | yep.. apparently virtualbox will handle vista | 07:42 |
| acrousey | what are the files "libglade-gnome0" and "libglade0" and why am I unable to install them? | 07:42 |

| elvis8900 | hello | 07:43 |
| linuxdominator | jemtv: i have never used a tv card | 07:43 |
| wols | webpirate: 0.97-2 supposedly does | 07:43 |
| wols | jemtv: you don't need a new kernel | 07:43 |
| Magellan11 | Hello dudes | 07:43 |
| linuxdominator | i would try what they say jemtv | 07:43 |
| jemtv | wols, do u use mythtv? | 07:43 |
| wols | jemtv: no | 07:43 |
| bullgard4 | wols, zcat[1] linuxdominator joejoecircusboy: Thank you for your answers. | 07:43 |
| jemtv | linuxdominator thanks | 07:43 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: ive noticed that whenever I try to use dpkg in anyway it wants me to uninstall vmware-server before anything, but errors | 07:43 |
| jemtv | wols ok just havign probs because it always says no singnal even when things are plugged in... | 07:44 |
| zcat[1] | I set up a network in virtualbox.. windows server, two XP clients (to be sure it was properly migrating settings and stuff) , and then played around with likewise-open in an ubuntu install in another VM. | 07:44 |
| acrousey | well, if these libglade files do not exist in ubuntu 8.04, how can i make them exist in it? | 07:44 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: That's definitely 'not right' :) (I haven't actually encountered that myself though, so I'm just making educated guesses) | 07:44 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: that's normal. it puts your package maangement in an inconsistent state and dpkg needs to have this fixed to be able to work again | 07:44 |
| === marco is now known as Marco | ||
| wols | acrousey: what for? | 07:44 |
| zcat[1] | btw I have some likewise-open questions.. the behavious in ubuntu doesn't seem to match what the documentation says; basically almost everything seems broken | 07:44 |
| Takmadeu1 | hi! | 07:44 |
| linuxdominator | jemtv: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340831 original thread | 07:44 |
| Takmadeu1 | I have a question | 07:45 |
| acrousey | wols: it's for the game "glife" | 07:45 |
| Magellan11 | I'm a linux noob, and need to extract a batch file. can anyone point to a tutorial or a program that could explain how to do hat? | 07:45 |
| SigmaProjects | wols: do you know of a way I can just get rid of vmware-server or at least stop dpkg from doing this | 07:45 |
| Magellan11 | or explain how I can do it? | 07:45 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: you've been told what to do | 07:45 |
| Takmadeu1 | don't you think gnome office lacks a presentation tool? | 07:45 |
| linuxdominator | Magellan11: what is file extension | 07:45 |
| wols | Magellan11: extract from what? | 07:45 |
| Magellan11 | .bat | 07:45 |
| linuxdominator | !wine | Magellan11 | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Magellan11: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 07:45 |
| linuxdominator | you need that i believe | 07:46 |
| SigmaProjects | I've tried to uninstall/reinstall/reconfigure vmware-server but it errors saying the package is broken or hasnt been installed correctly | 07:46 |
| Magellan11 | Wine doesnt do anything with it, ill run it...and nothin | 07:46 |
| wols | linuxdominator: he didn't ask to run it... | 07:46 |
| Takmadeu1 | wouldn't it be good to have an impress replacement for gnome office? | 07:46 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: you've been told you reinstall it | 07:46 |
| linuxdominator | wols: it seems like a windows self-uncompressing thingie | 07:46 |
| prince_jammys | Magellan11: look into something called dos box | 07:46 |
| SigmaProjects | Okay | 07:46 |
| Magellan11 | will do | 07:46 |
| wols | Takmadeu1: it would also be good if I had a pony. | 07:46 |
| zcat[1] | SigmaProjects: hate it when that happens.. I can never remember how to fix it again | 07:46 |
| alraune | lol | 07:46 |
| prince_jammys | (i think) | 07:46 |
| Magellan11 | thanks for the help! | 07:46 |
| wols | Magellan11: what batch file is it? what's it supposed to do? | 07:46 |
| prince_jammys | i don't know that wine can run .bat scripts | 07:47 |
| Takmadeu1 | wols: which color would you like it to be? | 07:47 |
| linuxdominator | sure | 07:47 |
| wols | prince_jammys: if it has a cmd.exe somewhere it sorta can. | 07:47 |
| Takmadeu1 | :D | 07:47 |
| linuxdominator | they are just windows batch file | 07:47 |
| wols | Takmadeu1: doesn't matter. just as long as its tasty | 07:47 |
| FuRom | Is mythTV only for people with video cards? I can't find anything definitive on it, so I figured someone in here could tell me a bit about it, since it's in the synaptic package manager. I've checked out the site, but it's not telling me exactly what I want to know. I want to know it it's like, a webTV thing. | 07:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: Did you try the dpkg-reconfigure? | 07:47 |
| Takmadeu1 | wols: mmmmm tasty ponies :p | 07:47 |
| wols | FuRom: it's a digital video recoder and media player | 07:47 |
| SNuxoll | FuRom: it's used to record TV | 07:47 |
| wols | *recorder | 07:48 |
| alraune | wols:and you would name it T.. | 07:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | FuRom: mythtv is like TiVO | 07:48 |
| SNuxoll | FuRom: works great as a DVR, sucks as a media center | 07:48 |
| wols | alraune: food doesn't need names | 07:48 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: for webtv try miro (used tobe called democracy player) | 07:48 |
| Magellan11 | Wols, im trying to install System Shock 2, and need to extract a .bat for some sound files or something | 07:48 |
| FuRom | wols, SNuxoll, joejoecircusboy, thanks. Just making sure I don't waste my time messin with it. | 07:48 |
| prince_jammys | Magellan11: dosbox is installable through apt, if it turns out you want that. i could be totally off though. haven't seen a .bat in a long time | 07:48 |
| linuxdominator | i use geexbox as media center | 07:48 |
| zcat[1] | wols: My food nas a name, it's 'nom nom nom' ;) | 07:48 |
| wols | Magellan11: extract is the totally wrong word | 07:48 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: yes, but it tells me the package is broken or not fully installed. Im going to try re-installing it again | 07:48 |
| FuRom | Takmadeu1, thanks man!!! | 07:49 |
| wols | FuRom: it can run without a videocard btw. or rahter approrpiate the TV card as one with certain TV cards | 07:49 |
| cmX1 | I am installing Ubuntu 8.04 with a dual boot windows xp on a separate hard drive and am receiving Error 17 from grub :(, any ideas?? | 07:49 |
| FuRom | None of ya'll would happen to know of a good tv guide widget? xD | 07:49 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: mythTV is best with a media center kind of PC, you know, with remote and access to dvds and music and everything | 07:49 |
| Magellan11 | oh geez | 07:49 |
| wols | cmX1: sure. your grub install was wrong | 07:49 |
| linuxdominator | !grub | cmX1 | 07:50 |
| ubottu | cmX1: 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 | 07:50 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: IMO MythTV is meant to be used with a remote | 07:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: can you pastebin 'dpkg -s vmware-server' ? | 07:50 |
| wols | Magellan11: which means we dunno what you say. also, I own sshock2 and I never saw any batchfile when installing it. just a nice setup.exe | 07:50 |
| FuRom | wols, ah, I see. I don't think it's really useful to me though. | 07:50 |
| Magellan11 | im a pirate :( | 07:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | Takmadeu1/FuRom: A gamepad works well too (that's what I use) | 07:50 |
| zcat[1] | Magellan11: ARRRR! | 07:50 |
| wols | FuRom: also mythtv can be split in backend and frontend. the abckend can be a headless server easily | 07:50 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: it is easier to do traditional point and click instead of using mythTV | 07:50 |
| linuxdominator | Magellan11: is this a rip? | 07:50 |
| prince_jammys | shame on you! | 07:51 |
| wols | Magellan11: then stop asking in here. /msg ubottu warez | 07:51 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: http://pastebin.com/m41c49ea8 | 07:51 |
| Magellan11 | Yes linuxdom | 07:51 |
| FuRom | Takmadeu1, it totally doesn't sound like something I'd need. joejoecircusboy, I don't even have a gamepad port on my sound card xD | 07:51 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: a gamepad would work really nice | 07:51 |
| linuxdominator | you need what i said Magellan11 but this is OT | 07:51 |
| cmX1 | ubottu I tried that and when i got to the 'mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /mnt/root' command i run into some problems | 07:51 |
| ubottu | cmX1: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | FuRom: USB, god.. who uses gameports anymore? :P | 07:51 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: with some work you can use your bluetooth cellphone | 07:51 |
| wols | cmX1: !errors | cmX1 | 07:51 |
| wols | !errors | cmX1 | 07:51 |
| ubottu | cmX1: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 07:51 |
| FuRom | joejoecircusboy, lmao, my only gamepad that I have is pretty old.... *cough* I prefer keyboard for gaming... WASD and what not xD | 07:52 |
| willfrand | hi | 07:52 |
| prince_jammys | wow, flood tolerance has gone down. | 07:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: You 'aliened' the vmware rpm? | 07:52 |
| Takmadeu1 | FuRom: I can't tell you how it is done though, bluetooth is not my strong point | 07:52 |
| FuRom | Takmadeu1, lol, if I had one, I could. Sounds like an interesting thing to do though. | 07:52 |
| Takmadeu1 | By the way | 07:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | FuRom: Ya, me 2... the controller I used is an Xbox controller... just hacked a USB connector on the end | 07:53 |
| zcat[1] | I picked up a fairly nice joystick at a 2nd hand shop a while back.. got home and found out that not one of my computers has anything remotely like a gameport any more. | 07:53 |
| Takmadeu1 | do you know how do I get to make a pareallel port adapter for a psx gamepad to work in ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| alraune | zcat[1]: cheap soundcards have | 07:53 |
| willfrand | hi, i have problems with amsn, but no speak english, only spanish, then, can somebody help me? | 07:53 |
| FuRom | joejoecircusboy: That's pretty interesting.... Time to go out and buy a game console for that..... xD | 07:53 |
| Takmadeu1 | que clase de problemas? | 07:53 |
| prince_jammys | !es | willfrand | 07:53 |
| ubottu | willfrand: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 07:53 |
| wols | !es | willfrand | 07:53 |
| zcat[1] | alraune: apparently my soundcards aren't cheap then.. or so cheap that they don't.. | 07:54 |
| wols | Takmadeu1: this is an english channel only | 07:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | FuRom: Xbox 1 controllers are cheap! | 07:54 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: yeah, I figured thats the reason its broken, thats why im trying to uninstall it | 07:54 |
| Takmadeu1 | wols: sorry :p | 07:54 |
| Takmadeu1 | anyway+ | 07:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: Ah, good to mention that sort of thing up front :) | 07:54 |
| Takmadeu1 | I ask again | 07:54 |
| FuRom | joejoecircusboy, I plan on getting the entire xbox 360 eventually, anyways. | 07:54 |
| willfrand | Thanks prince_jammys, but to this hour, is nobody in this channels | 07:54 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: ah sorry | 07:54 |
| zcat[1] | I'll get a USB stick someday.. playing flightgear with keyboard only is basically impossible. | 07:54 |
| alraune | zcat[1]: where are you located ? look at the trashground! | 07:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: might have to resort to force uninstalling that package | 07:55 |
| prince_jammys | willfrand: you seem to speak english fairly well | 07:55 |
| Takmadeu1 | has anyone any idea on how to get a PSX -> parallel port adapter working in ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: edit the prerm and postrm files for the package | 07:55 |
| willfrand | then i need to solvve my problem any manner | 07:55 |
| Takmadeu1 | zcat[1]: it is possible, yet quite difficult :p | 07:55 |
| crashflow | it is possible to use a wireless xbox 360 controller in ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| willfrand | thanks prince | 07:55 |
| SigmaProjects | wols: Sorry? Where are those and what do I edit? | 07:55 |
| zcat[1] | Takmadeu1: I managed to take off. It's not totally impossible! Just really, really hard.. | 07:55 |
| Takmadeu1 | crashflow: yes | 07:55 |
| zcat[1] | Oops, ot again. | 07:56 |
| linuxdominator | Takmadeu1: first hit on google for your exact question http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=211108 | 07:56 |

| joejoecircusboy | crashflow: No, unfortunately | 07:56 |
| willfrand | in my laptop, but the amsn no connect | 07:56 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: From the way you state that, is something wrong about force uninstalling? | 07:56 |
| Takmadeu1 | zcat[1]: try landing, its harder :p | 07:56 |
| crashflow | Takmadeu1, so you know where can I read a FAQ about drivers etc? | 07:56 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: no but there is something wrong with using alien | 07:56 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: Ya, using --force almost always leads to worse problems ;) | 07:56 |
| SigmaProjects | wols: yeah, im noticing that now.. never trying that again | 07:57 |
| willfrand | can you help me prince? | 07:57 |
| prince_jammys | willfrand: i don't know amsn, but if you message me the problem in spanish, i can post it in the channel in english. | 07:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: But, given that this isn't a core package (or a package that anything else would depend on at all), you'll probably be ok | 07:57 |
| willfrand | ok, thanks | 07:57 |
| crashflow | I plan to use the controller for c64 and amiga emulators, just as I did under windows. But I could not resist deleting windows from my system completely so know it has to be under linux :) | 07:57 |
| Takmadeu1 | crashflow: TLDP | 07:57 |
| crashflow | Takmadeu1, thanks | 07:58 |
| Takmadeu1 | linuxdominator: that's for USB adapters :( | 07:58 |
| Takmadeu1 | crashflow: np man | 07:58 |
| linuxdominator | u dont have usb? Takmadeu1 | 07:58 |
| wols | willfrand: you will need amsn 0.97-2 iirc | 07:58 |
| willfrand | el problema es que instalé el ubuntu 7.10 gutsy en mi laptop, pero el amsn (que es una imitacion muy conocida del messenger de microsoft) no me funciona | 07:58 |
| Takmadeu1 | linuxdominator: unfortunately I haven't got a usb adapter, just an old parallel port adapter :( | 07:58 |
| linuxdominator | Takmadeu1: second hit on google http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/PlayStation_to_Parallel_Adapters | 07:58 |
| jemtv | wols, sorry, im going through and trying it all again, if there is a .pl file i need to go in an edit in terminal how do i get to it to do it | 07:59 |
| Lithium_Ionic | cmX1: Error 17 generally refers to bad references in your device map. Post 9 here looks helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 07:59 |
| wols | willfrand: don't. and if you want help in spanish, go to #ubuntu-es. if no one's there ask the spanish speakers in here to help you over there. this channel here is english ONLY | 07:59 |
| willfrand | well wols, but how to install this amsn, but to me is impossible | 07:59 |
| prince_jammys | willfrand: i meant private message. anyway, you have to say more than 'it doesn't work' | 07:59 |
| wols | jemtv: do what? | 07:59 |
| wols | jemtv: ie trying what again? | 07:59 |
| Takmadeu1 | linuxdominator: you are the man! ;) | 07:59 |
| willfrand | yes wols, but, how to tell to prince, in the spanish rooms, is nobody | 08:00 |
| Takmadeu1 | linuxdominator: I'll try it right away | 08:00 |
| prince_jammys | willfrand: /join #asmnchan if you can't message me because of registration | 08:00 |
| jemtv | Edit the Make.config file and make sure saa7134-dvb = n is changed to saa7134-dvb = m (builds the dvb part as a module) trying to go through and checkwhat ive done maybe ive made a spelling error or someting | 08:00 |
| jemtv | the file is saa7134-dvb.pl | 08:00 |
| SigmaProjects | joejoecircusboy: whats the proper syntax for uninstalling and forcing ? | 08:00 |
| jemtv | that i have to open | 08:00 |
| wols | willfrand: we don't care. tell prince and Takmadeu1 or whever wants to help you to do it in #ubuntu-es but don't talk any spanish in here please | 08:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: I don't know offhand, never used it | 08:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: let me check | 08:00 |
| exsanet | oi | 08:01 |
| Takmadeu1 | heh! did you know that in pidgin if you press tab twice it will autocomplete the name of the recipient? | 08:01 |
| wols | jemtv: make.config file for WHAT exactly? | 08:01 |
| Takmadeu1 | i didn't know that :p | 08:01 |
| Takmadeu1 | silly me | 08:01 |
| willfrand | hello | 08:01 |
| linuxdominator | poor you ;) | 08:01 |
| jemtv | one of the files i have to edit to get the tv tuner working properly is the saa7134-dvb.pl but i cant remember in terminal how to get into it to edit it | 08:02 |
| Takmadeu1 | wow. my gamepad is really old :p | 08:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: It doesn't look like dpkg actually supports force | 08:02 |

| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: oh, hang on.. found it | 08:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols: Can you walk him through editting the scripts? | 08:03 |
| Takmadeu1 | sucess! for now | 08:03 |
| wols | joejoecircusboy: answer my question | 08:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols: you didn't ask a question | 08:04 |
| wols | oops. was for jemtv, sorry | 08:04 |
| wols | jemtv: I asked you something | 08:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | lol | 08:04 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: it supports -force-thing (where thing is the action to be forced) -- makes it hard, ou really need to know exactly what you're forcing. Which is probably the point | 08:04 |
| jemtv | oh ill check | 08:04 |
| wols | zcat[1]: there is no -force thing btw | 08:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: Thanks | 08:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: So, the dpkg experts are saying this is a bad idea... so I'll leave that call up to you | 08:05 |
| fyrestrtr | jemtv: sudo find / -type f -name 'saa7134-dvb.pl' | 08:05 |
| jemtv | for the saa7134 file that it says to edit | 08:05 |
| zcat[1] | wols: eg -force-confold or -force-remove-reinstreq | 08:05 |
| SigmaProjects | Well, if thats the only option then I'll try it | 08:05 |
| wols | jemtv: I asked you what software you try to compile exactly. nothing about the file | 08:05 |
| jemtv | i didnt get that | 08:06 |
| jemtv | wols, mythtv | 08:06 |
| wols | jemtv: the ubuntu mythtv package is telling you to do that? | 08:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: k, I'll look up the syntax for you then | 08:06 |
| wols | zcat[1]: read the manpages more carefully. there is no "-force-*" | 08:07 |
| zcat[1] | --force-* then.. | 08:07 |
| jemtv | wols yes | 08:07 |
| fyrestrtr | generally, if the option is more than one character, it is preceded by -- | 08:07 |
| wols | zcat[1]: and of course there is --force-all.... enable ALL force options | 08:07 |
| zcat[1] | wols: I didn't find that one. Too easy! | 08:07 |
| wols | jemtv: nano <file> to edit | 08:08 |
| jemtv | thankyou wols | 08:08 |
| SigmaProjects | I tried dpkg --force-all --remove vmware-server. But it gives me the same error as before | 08:08 |

| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: I guess that leaves hacking the package scripts | 08:09 |
| Takmadeu1 | ok. now | 08:09 |
| sunru | don't know just intalled ubuntu-server want to install cups. | 08:09 |
| Takmadeu1 | it worked | 08:09 |
| * sunru is noob | 08:09 | |
| Takmadeu1 | but no dualshock | 08:09 |
| wols | pastebin the postrm and prerm files for vmware server please | 08:09 |
| wols | !cups | sunru | 08:09 |
| ubottu | sunru: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 08:09 |
| sunru | I used debian years ago forgot everthing. | 08:09 |
| sunru | thanks. | 08:09 |
| rafael_U8 | How could I change a icon by command line? | 08:09 |
| SigmaProjects | wols: Sure, where are those files usually? | 08:09 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: scroll up. I told you already | 08:09 |
| zcat[1] | rafael_U8: edit the .desktop file | 08:10 |
| sunru | wols: don't need help with cups been using it for years. | 08:10 |
| sunru | apt-get install cups or cupsd doesn't workfor me thats all. | 08:11 |
| zcat[1] | rafael_U8: launchers on the desktop or in menus generally have a file called foo.desktop which describes where they belong, what icon to show, what command to run, etc.. you ned to find that and edit it. | 08:11 |

| zcat[1] | last couple of printers I've had I just plugged in and waited. after about 20 seconds a bubble popped up telling me the printer was ready to go... | 08:12 |
| deever | i have a epson stylus photo r200 and on one box with 8.04, i can print, while on another, it doesn't work... | 08:13 |
| Takmadeu1 | GOOD! | 08:14 |
| SigmaProjects | wols: I saw where you said, /var/lib/dpkg/info/ . But i swear those files arent in there | 08:14 |
| rafael_U8 | <zcat[1]>, I created "ln /sbin/reboot ~/reboot". So, how change the icon of "reboot"? | 08:14 |
| zcat[1] | Unfortunately I have two really nice photo printers I got given and neither has any black coming through. I suspect there's an airlock but they're going to be a pain to open up and bleed the ink line | 08:14 |
| Takmadeu1 | Now I managed to get it working | 08:14 |
| wols | !doesn't work | deever | 08:14 |
| ubottu | deever: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 08:14 |
| sunru | nice actually for a change to search a package search nearly 10x faster on a celeron 533 than emerge on amd 3500+ | 08:14 |
| Takmadeu1 | I was using the 0.8 parameter | 08:14 |
| joejoecircusboy | SigmaProjects: they'd be prefixed with 'vmware-server' | 08:14 |
| acrousey | hi, i'm trying to add the game "gLife" from "Add/Remove Applications" but I am told that I can't and need to go to "synaptic package manager". So I go there and I find out that the game that I wish to add is dependent on the files "libglade-gnome0" and "libglade0", which are both uninstallable. Why am I theoretically able to "add" this game if the files that it depends on are not installable? | 08:14 |
| Takmadeu1 | when i needed 0.7 | 08:14 |
| wols | SigmaProjects: ls *vmware* in there | 08:14 |
| SigmaProjects | Oh oh, ok | 08:14 |
| acp_ | can any one direct me to a how to to fixed the volume of my thinclient? | 08:14 |
| zcat[1] | rafael_U8: don't do it that way. create a 'reboot.desktop' with the appropriate stuff in it instead | 08:14 |

| ackbahr | Hi! I'm looking for a program that could deal with music *folders* the way Synaptic deals with packages (with a reference list where things are ticked if they're on the MP3 player, and you could make your selection and then validate so that the copies and deletions take place). Any idea about that? | 08:16 |

| schwing | yes | 08:25 |

| schwing | *known | 08:26 |
| schwing | ...>.< | 08:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | schwing: the shittiness of flash is well know :D | 08:26 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: not that it matters .. both flash and nvidia are nonfree software, therefore if either has bugs it's not something we can really do jack about... | 08:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: the flash bug affects all video cards, AFAIK | 08:26 |

| goodbyegravity_ | pfoxsounds: Yes, in the Windows installer, you can select your Linux partitions and hit "L" to delete them. | 08:30 |

| pfoxsounds | mainly I want to keep from having to reinstall whatever OS I go with after having both on the same HD | 08:31 |
| crashflow | pfoxsounds, you could use partition magic to delete the linux partitions and allocate the space to the windows partition. but I would recommend doing it the other way round. | 08:31 |
| goodbyegravity_ | I wouldn't recommend Partition Magic | 08:31 |
| jcoe | What does the message "GNOME settings daemon" error refer to? | 08:31 |

| crashflow | goodbyegravity_, but a description of problem symptoms is a necessity | 08:36 |

| goodbyegravity_ | pfoxsounds: Linux can write to NTFS, but AFAIK Windows only has read-only third-party apps. | 08:36 |

| eitreach | How do I make Pessulus require root? | 08:37 |
| goodbyegravity_ | crashflow: I know, but I'm not a fan of the atmosphere of this channel in general :) | 08:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: ntfs support is pretty solid in Ubuntu now... I wouldn't bother with FAT | 08:37 |
| Flannel | eitreach: Why do you want to do that? | 08:37 |
| deeporange1 | Thanks debCarlos | 08:37 |
| debCarlos | ok | 08:37 |
| wols | goodbyegravity_: there are ext3 r/w drivers. how good they are I let you decide... | 08:38 |
| schwing | !anyone | 08:38 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 08:38 |
| schwing | gasp | 08:38 |
| RedMercury | what is the best channel to ask Xlib related questions in? | 08:38 |
| eitreach | Flannel: it's a kiosk-tool. If anyone can access it, it sort of ruins the entire thing. | 08:38 |
| pfoxsounds | Thx | 08:38 |
| deeporange1 | I am curious what does !x | y mean? | 08:38 |
| schwing | irc scares me | 08:38 |
| goodbyegravity_ | wols: Ah, I've never used it; I know there is a program called explore2fs that lets you at least transfer files. | 08:38 |
| wols | deeporange1: tell person y about topic x | 08:38 |
| Flannel | eitreach: You probably don't want it runnin as root, but you can set up "regular" permission things (making it so it can only be run by a certain group of users, for instance) | 08:39 |
| crashflow | joejoecircusboy, yes I guess general help and info channels always have this atmosphere... but it's nowhere I would log in if I did not have questions to ask | 08:39 |
| deeporange1 | So why would I tell testdisk about info? | 08:39 |
| eitreach | Flannel: right.. how do I do that? | 08:39 |
| deeporange1 | Thats a curious syntax | 08:39 |
| wols | deeporange1: you don't. the x is the whole "info testdisk" thing | 08:39 |
| deeporange1 | info testdisk | 08:39 |
| wols | deeporange1: it's standard unix pipe syntax. known to every unix user | 08:39 |
| Blaqlight | I have screem and KompoZer, are there any other html/xml type website editors? | 08:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | crashflow: wrong person? (not sure I see the topic thread :) ) | 08:40 |
| wols | deeporange1: the bot reacts to commands with ! in front. not just any word | 08:40 |
| deeporange1 | ah... See thats the problem right there. I am on day two of using linux | 08:40 |
| Flannel | eitreach: Hmmm, actually, the group is already made. change its group to 'admin' and then remove execute rights from "anyone" (so only owner and group are +x) | 08:40 |
| deeporange1 | Ah | 08:40 |
| deeporange1 | !info testdisk | 08:40 |
| crashflow | joejoecircusboy, oops - wrong person | 08:40 |
| ubottu | testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.8-1 (hardy), package size 690 kB, installed size 2640 kB | 08:40 |
| crashflow | I should get my morning coffee | 08:40 |
| deeporange1 | nice | 08:40 |
| crashflow | :) | 08:40 |
| matze | ... | 08:40 |
| eitreach | Flannel: Thanks. I'll try that out. | 08:40 |
| o0splitpaw0o | join #o0splitpaw0o's-show | 08:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | crashflow: no worries.. but curious, what atmosphere do you mean? | 08:41 |
| crashflow | I was talking about the channel atmosphere with goodbyegravity. I think that in channels like this (general help) there is often a hectic atmosphere since many people logged in with problems and not all can be helped quickly | 08:42 |
| deeporange1 | Well that went well | 08:43 |
| crashflow | that can create frustration for some... but I guess that's just a given fact | 08:43 |
| pfoxsounds | joejoe: When you say 512 /boot, is that root? | 08:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: the /boot partition, for kernels and stuff | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | crashflow, computers cause frustration.. :) faster ones cause it faster! | 08:43 |
| wols | pfoxsounds: / is root. nothing else | 08:43 |
| pfoxsounds | assumung i need root, home and swap partitions | 08:44 |
| deeporange1 | Yeah, my advise to to panic. At maximum velocity! | 08:44 |
| deeporange1 | Ha ha | 08:44 |
| crashflow | Dr_willis, :) | 08:44 |
| deeporange1 | Computers are the / of all evil | 08:44 |
| pfoxsounds | OK. So the help.ubuntu.com page on partitioning for Ubuntu 8 says I should create root partition for where Ubuntu is installed | 08:45 |
| * TeslaTony thwaps deeporange1 with a 60lb Unix manual | 08:45 | |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: ya, that's the 125 GB / partiition I mentioned | 08:45 |
| pfoxsounds | and joejoe had suggested 512MB for "/boot" | 08:45 |
| pfoxsounds | ah OK | 08:45 |
| deeporange1 | Ouch | 08:45 |
| deeporange1 | I've had worse though | 08:45 |
| pfoxsounds | trying to compare your notes to what I'm reading on that page there :) | 08:45 |
| TeslaTony | deeporange1: Like what? 60lb Windows manuals? | 08:45 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: It's not really all that important really, everyone has their own partition prefs | 08:46 |
| pfoxsounds | so what do you use boot partition for? | 08:46 |
| deeporange1 | No, 180lb Vista manuals | 08:46 |
| wols | pfoxsounds: kernels and bootloader | 08:46 |
| Flannel | pfoxsounds: the boot partition isn't really necessary for most circumstances. | 08:46 |
| delano | Hello? | 08:46 |
| deeporange1 | Vista is ok though. But its darn easy to screw things up | 08:46 |
| deeporange1 | Hello | 08:46 |
| pfoxsounds | OK, so in other words when I get better acquainted w/ ubuntu I'll probalby want to make a boot partition | 08:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: some older BIOSs can't load the bootloader/kernel when it's located deep within a disk (i won't get into details)... the solution is to create a /boot partition at the beginning of the disk | 08:47 |
| wols | pfoxsounds: no | 08:47 |
| pfoxsounds | but for a beginner not really needed | 08:47 |
| JamesJr | Um yall know that particile accelerator/collider that could produce black holes..they are testing it today and it will go fully functional in early september...nice knowing yall | 08:47 |
| Blaqlight | deeporange1, don't you think discussions about Vista should be moved to ##windows? | 08:47 |
| wols | !ot | JamesJr | 08:47 |
| ubottu | JamesJr: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:47 |
| deeporange1 | That could just be me though... I seem to be really good at destroying windows machines. | 08:47 |
| pfoxsounds | ah ok. makes sense joe joe | 08:47 |
| deeporange1 | I think they should be banned altogether | 08:47 |
| TeslaTony | Sucked into atomic oblivion via miniature black holes? Sweet! | 08:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: using /boot just avoids the problem (whether or not your computer actually has the 'broken' bios code) | 08:48 |
| wols | deeporange1: you should be banned if you continue to talk about windows. so please continue I guess | 08:48 |
| pfoxsounds | this is a pretty new PC so may not be an issue | 08:48 |
| Blaqlight | deeporange1, your barking up the wrong tree in here talking about windows. or anything else related to it. | 08:48 |
| deeporange1 | I used to use Mandrake a long time ago... when it was called Mandrake... But that was so long ago I consider myself a newb. | 08:48 |
| pfoxsounds | so if I wanted to create that boot part., I would have an option to do it manually? | 08:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: You can skip it probably then, but if Linux won't boot after install, you know what to change for the reinstall | 08:49 |
| wols | pfoxsounds: yes | 08:49 |
| deeporange1 | Well thats my story and I'm sticking to it. | 08:49 |
| Blaqlight | deeporange1, its called mandriva today :D | 08:49 |
| deeporange1 | Yeah. I hear Ubuntu is the better of them though. | 08:49 |
| deeporange1 | Linux that is | 08:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | deeporange1: depends on the system role | 08:49 |
| deeporange1 | Thats why I decided to try it. | 08:49 |
| Blaqlight | deeporange1, its all about your expreiences... | 08:49 |
| deeporange1 | I am sure you are right there. | 08:49 |
| xiven | Hey umm | 08:49 |
| deeporange1 | Servers tend to run FreeBSD right? | 08:50 |
| xiven | Anyone know how to login to SWAT with Smba | 08:50 |
| debCarlos | Or debian | 08:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | deeporange1: no one uses BSD :P | 08:50 |
| xiven | I tried using root, but it gives me the logon again | 08:50 |
| ackbahr | fyrestrtr: Not exactly what I'm looking for.... Thanks though! So long! | 08:50 |
| ackbahr | Bye all! | 08:50 |
| deeporange1 | Really? My hosting provider does I believe. | 08:50 |
| wols | xiven: there is no root account on ubuntu | 08:50 |
| deeporange1 | Course they stink... But thats a different story | 08:50 |
| eitreach | Flannel: I tried editing the permissions via nautilus, but instead of being prompted for a password, it's simply not starting now. It's sort-of-progress, but.. yeah. | 08:50 |
| xiven | ohh duh | 08:50 |
| TeslaTony | deeporange1: Ubuntu has some major issues, but as a beginners/easy to use linux, itś very well supported. Plus you can come here and be abused with 60lb users manuals. Debian and Gentoo hold the titles for ¨most powerful distros¨ | 08:51 |
| deeporange1 | Seems you have to enable it. | 08:51 |
| TeslaTony | (and as a result are a real pain to use) | 08:51 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, BSD is nice too... | 08:51 |
| xiven | Ahh I got it | 08:51 |
| wols | TeslaTony: debian is not "most powerful" | 08:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | deeporange1: I would guess most production servers are running Red Hat or Novell distros, and their derivatives | 08:51 |
| deeporange1 | Ah. Well I may have to take a peek at those to sometime (when I feel really masochistic) | 08:51 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, if you've have any experience with it that is. | 08:51 |
| Flannel | eitreach: What are the permsissions on the program? (ls -l /path/to/bin) | 08:51 |
| pfoxsounds | thanks for all the help folks | 08:52 |
| debCarlos | Why RedHat when there's debian and Ubuntu server :D | 08:52 |
| TeslaTony | wols: Last I checked, it was one of the big ones. This was, however, some time ago, so my info can easily be dated | 08:52 |
| debCarlos | *re | 08:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: Ya, and prisoners get used to working in chain gangs after awhile too :P | 08:52 |
| wols | TeslaTony: I am using debian right now. | 08:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | pfoxsounds: np, good luck with it | 08:52 |
| bullgard4 | [Gparted] What does indicate an orange triangle with an exclamation mark in it? | 08:52 |
| wols | TeslaTony: and size of repo has nothing to do with being "powerful" | 08:52 |
| vryk014k45 | How do I make it so that vlc opens when I insert a dvd instead of xine? | 08:52 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, BSD has the distinction of being older and more widely supported.. | 08:52 |
| wols | Blaqlight: rethink that statement | 08:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: widely supported? By what metric? | 08:53 |
| Blaqlight | yeah than ubuntu... | 08:53 |
| Blaqlight | not debian | 08:53 |
| eitreach | Flannel: -rwxr-x--x 1 root root 2620 2008-03-10 23:32 | 08:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: I was just kidding up until that last statement (BSD is fine).. but damn, I've never heard anyone claim its more supported (by any definition of 'supported' I can think of) | 08:53 |
| Blaqlight | ubuntu is much more documented, and perhaps easier to use. | 08:54 |
| ogzy | hi, how can i disable battery warning actions | 08:54 |
| lboken | debcarlos your question is just like why windows when there is debian and ubuntu just cause people are used to it more than the debian ;-) me i tryed latly many linux and i set up for ubuntu but i must ad mit i was more a windows user im still new to linux but i like to learn it :-) and i do learn more about linux every day | 08:54 |
| Flannel | eitreach: Alright, its not owned by admin, and you need to remove the -x from "anyone" | 08:54 |
| === vryk014k45 is now known as trevor | ||
| TeslaTony | Ubuntu is rather well supported because itś a variant on Debian. BSD and BeOS are well supported for commercial use, but not so much end users (like you usually find here) | 08:54 |
| Blaqlight | either way, its all offtopic conversation, we'll get lyched :D | 08:54 |
| deeporange1 | Well I guess I will let you Linux gurus discuss the complex universe of Linux... Try not to get heated. Good night and thanks all... Particularly DebCarlos | 08:54 |
| Flannel | eitreach: sudo chmod 750 /whatever/ && sudo chown root:admin /path/to/whatever | 08:55 |
| trevor | how do I make vlc instead of xine open when I insert dvd's? | 08:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | TeslaTony: Really, I didn't know any commercial vendors certified their apps on BSD | 08:55 |
| eitreach | Flannel: thanks! | 08:55 |
| TeslaTony | You can have a decent discussion about Linux distros unless itś an all out flamewar! | 08:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | TeslaTony: (That came across as sarcastic, but it was more of a question) | 08:55 |
| TeslaTony | s/can/can´t | 08:55 |
| Blaqlight | openbsd runs thousands of webservers worldwide... | 08:56 |
| Shujah | trevor, Nautilus > Edit > Pref > Media | 08:56 |
| Blaqlight | not so with ubuntu server... | 08:56 |
| TeslaTony | Oh, no. BSD is supported for commercial users, for stuff like servers. Not many apps for it | 08:56 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: yes, literally thousands... whereas even Windows runs millions of servers worldwide | 08:56 |
| TeslaTony | BSD kinda sucks for end users because the lack of drivers/lack of software | 08:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | TeslaTony: What do you mean by 'commercial support' ? In that you can buy support for it? | 08:57 |
| TeslaTony | joejoecircusboy: Yeah. And I believe there are paid developers for it, unlike (for the most part) Linux | 08:57 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, foolish people run together... what can I say... | 08:57 |
| lambently | How do I get WPA to show up in my list of Wireless Security options when connecting to a network (like this: http://www.debianadmin.com/images/wpa/4.png) without editing /etc/network/interfaces by hand? | 08:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | TeslaTony: Most of the core development work in Linux (the kernel, and the core applications) is done by paid developers | 08:58 |
| eitreach | Flannel: hmm.. I'm told that the path is not a directory. | 08:58 |
| Flannel | eitreach: sorry, no trailing slash | 08:58 |
| eitreach | ah. | 08:58 |
| Flannel | eitreach: /path/to/whatever for both | 08:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | TeslaTony: But anyway, that's not 'support' to me, that's development | 08:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: This isn't a debate about one being 'better' than the other. You stated that BSD is better supported than linux (which doesn't make it better or worse, depending on your needs). Its the support claim that I'm refuting... (that's so far from reality it's not even funny :) ) | 08:59 |
| debCarlos | Anyway to switch between tabs in pidgin with the keyboard? | 09:00 |
| blaamann | debCarlos: Try Ctrl-Tab | 09:01 |
| TheClaff | debcarlos - ctrl + pg up, ctrl + pg down | 09:01 |
| debCarlos | blaamann: yep, it worked, thanks :) | 09:01 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: Furthermore, that's pretty arrogant to lump all professionals using Windows in a group as 'fools'... right tool for the job. | 09:02 |
| lboken | guys does any one knows if there is a way to have the printer and scanner of a lexmark x74 working on linux? i know there is a printer driver compatible but how about the scanner? | 09:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: I love Linux, but it doesn't take a flash on insight for me to see it's not the best solution for everyone | 09:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | *of insight | 09:03 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, it is if you write your own software, which of course wouldn't hurt others... so yeah | 09:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: ? | 09:03 |
| asathoor | lboken >> do you see the scanner in xsane? | 09:04 |
| * Blaqlight drops it. | 09:04 | |
| Blaqlight | where it shatters all over the floor. | 09:04 |
| lboken | xsane i didnt installed it yet thanks ill see it (like i sayed im still new so there some package taht i didnt installed yet that i should | 09:05 |
| TeslaTony | lboken: Check http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X74 | 09:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | k, sorry to get intense -> Linux zealotry annoys me, it does far more harm to "linux" than good | 09:05 |
| redleer | !mount | 09:05 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 09:05 |
| lboken | ok ill check that teslatony but i think its a page that talk more about printing | 09:05 |
| asathoor | lboken >> try programs > graphics > xsane (or something similar, my setup is danish, :) | 09:05 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, it doesn't, its good to have people passionate about one thing or anther, where else would people discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this or that. | 09:06 |
| asathoor | !scanner | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR | 09:06 |
| debCarlos | !OCR | 09:06 |
| ubottu | OCR software for Ubuntu includes Tesseract, Ocrad and GOcr. GNOME users can use 'gocr-gtk' as a front-end to GOcr, while KDE users have Kooka available as a front-end to Ocrad and GOcr. | 09:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: yeah, passion is good, zealotry is bad | 09:06 |
| lboken | yeah i see the programe now but i didnt installed my printer on this pc since it didnt had it installed yet il connectit right away | 09:06 |
| Blaqlight | passionate people make for more stable products.. | 09:07 |
| redleer | how do i mount hdd so i dont need to mount it again every time i restart my computer? | 09:07 |
| * TeslaTony can´t wait for the Salem MacOSX hunts | 09:07 | |
| eitreach | let the passionate programmers program, and the not-as-much-in-your-face-marketing folks market. | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | redleer, put a proper entry for it in the /etc/fstab file | 09:07 |
| debCarlos | redleer: Add it to /etc/fstab | 09:07 |
| Blaqlight | redbox, add it too /etc/fstab. | 09:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | redleer: /etc/fstab contains a table of file systems that are mounted on boot | 09:08 |
| Blaqlight | lol | 09:08 |
| debCarlos | lol | 09:08 |
| Blaqlight | wrong person | 09:08 |
| rustychicken | eitreach: agreed | 09:08 |
| Blaqlight | I hope I didn't wake redbox up out of his/her slumber.. | 09:08 |
| redleer | only copy that sdb1 file there? | 09:08 |
| asathoor | lboken >> try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo | 09:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | redleer: I think 'man fstab' will give you a descriptin of the file format | 09:09 |
| debCarlos | !fstab | redleer | 09:09 |
| ubottu | redleer: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 09:09 |
| Blaqlight | eitreach, I know folks that are all in your face, and they only market well when they get in your face, you buy 9/10 times. | 09:09 |
| redleer | thanks | 09:09 |
| rustychicken | redleer: what i basically do is go through the GUI (Places > Computer > Hard drive) to mount the hard drive, then I copy the line from /etc/mtab (the list of currently mounted disks) into /etc/fstab (the list of all possible mounted disks) | 09:10 |
| Blaqlight | redleer, :D | 09:10 |
| joejoecircusboy | eitreach: Well said, techies/programmers make bad marketers... they should stick to programming | 09:10 |
| debCarlos | How do i start gnome-do | 09:11 |
| debCarlos | ? | 09:11 |
| rustychicken | debCarlos: ctrl+space, i think... | 09:11 |
| Blaqlight | lol there has never been a true er statement than that | 09:11 |
| Jordan_U | debCarlos: super + space | 09:11 |
| debCarlos | ok | 09:11 |
| debCarlos | thanks | 09:11 |
| lboken | start well in what if it says no devices available there is the no 1 Your scanner is not supported in Ubuntu. The most common type of scanner not supported is old parallel port or Lexmark All-in-One printer/scanner/faxes | 09:12 |
| rustychicken | debCarlos: Jordan_U is correct | 09:12 |
| lboken | and x74 x75 its a all in one | 09:12 |
| debCarlos | man!!! That gnome-do is fantastic O.O ! | 09:12 |
| rustychicken | debCarlos: it has its benefits... | 09:12 |
| eitreach | Flannel: hm. still doesn't require a password. -rwxr-x--- 1 root admin 2620 2008-03-10 23:32 | 09:13 |
| rustychicken | does anybody know if timevault is still being developed? | 09:13 |
| Flannel | eitreach: It won't require a password, it just requires you to be in the admin group. | 09:13 |
| Flannel | eitreach: Presumably your other users wouldn't be in the admin group? (if they were, they'd be able to sudo anyway) | 09:13 |
| acp_ | hi any one here have fixed the sound of a thinclient in ubuntu? my workstations has a low sound but my server is working fine | 09:13 |
| eitreach | Flannel: ah.. right. So i I create an unprivileged user, it wouldn't be able to access it? | 09:14 |
| Flannel | eitreach: Correct | 09:14 |
| eitreach | excellent. Thanks! | 09:14 |
| Flannel | eitreach: because ony root, or users in the admin group, are able to execute that file | 09:14 |
| eitreach | *nod* I get it, I think. | 09:15 |

| MrNaz | can you back up the MBR? i have a dual boot setup where i want to install windows and then ubuntu on a laptop. win goes on first, then ubuntu which detects and sets up a boot loader. howeer, when i reinstall windows as needs to be done from time to time, the botloader is destroyed. how do i back up the boot loader config beforethe win installation so i can restore it after ive installed windows ? | 09:19 |
| DozedOnLinux | afallenhope: is there something i may help you with ? | 09:19 |

| airspace | the only think stopping me from moving from Windows to Ubunu (as with many other people in South Africa) is that I cannot use my 3G phone as a Bluetooth modem | 09:21 |

| airspace | nokia | 09:22 |
| airspace | ubuntu can't access my phone | 09:22 |
| airspace | says the MAC is invalid | 09:22 |
| TeslaTony | airspace: Can you use it through a wired tether over USB? Sometimes that works when BlueTooth doesn´t | 09:22 |
| airspace | funny thing is if you go to the prompt and tell it to scan for DUN devices it shows my phones mac | 09:23 |
| airspace | that's not the point | 09:23 |
| airspace | I don't want to use it with USB | 09:23 |
| airspace | it has to be bluetooth | 09:23 |
| airspace | Windows does it simply | 09:23 |

| airspace | yip | 09:23 |
| airspace | quite sad | 09:23 |
| airspace | I was sold on linux until this snag | 09:24 |
| airspace | that's the only way I connect to internet | 09:24 |
| luser^ | Heya | 09:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: I never did solve it (it's like the DUN profile isn't exposed when a Linux bluetooth stack is probing) | 09:24 |
| airspace | so ubuntu is out the window now | 09:24 |
| DozedOnLinux | well you can get them to release to code to open-source developers | 09:24 |
| luser^ | Can someone help me connect my laptop to the TV | 09:24 |
| luser^ | using s-video cable | 09:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: btw, you did do a scan from linux, right? | 09:24 |
| luser^ | I looked around in google.. nothing seems to work | 09:24 |

| joejoecircusboy | airspace: which commnd? | 09:24 |
| Lunks_ | What does this cron line means? #30 8*/1 * * 2 | 09:24 |
| luser^ | anyone done that ? | 09:25 |
| airspace | linux finds the MAC and all the channels and details when I can from the console | 09:25 |
| afallenhope | aparently my issue is that the newest Flash 9 only supports v4l and not v4l2 | 09:25 |
| airspace | then in linux when I try to connect it tells me my MAC is invalid | 09:25 |
| airspace | but it's the one that it told me it found | 09:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: can you pastebin the output of your bt scan? | 09:25 |
| airspace | haha | 09:25 |
| airspace | no | 09:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: in windows? | 09:25 |
| airspace | cos I can't connect to internet frmo within linux duh | 09:25 |
| airspace | it's some obex error | 09:25 |
| Detrix | hey DozedOnLinux, I am back. I have installed Ubuntu on my laptop's hard drive. what is the default root password? | 09:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: ah, you only have the one compter | 09:25 |
| DozedOnLinux | afallenhope: what linux kernel you running ? | 09:26 |
| airspace | says something like obex: <MAC> device invalid | 09:26 |
| afallenhope | ummm | 09:26 |
| afallenhope | hold up | 09:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: well, can't really help you then | 09:26 |
| afallenhope | DozedOnLinux, 2.6.24-19-generic | 09:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | now i f i tod you that, the whole thing about security would be out the window :) | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | Detrix, there is none. Use 'sudo' and the initial users password to do sudo tasks | 09:26 |
| lboken | detrix there is no root password its a sudo (super user do) | 09:26 |
| airspace | yip | 09:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | afallenhope: ok, just checkin | 09:26 |
| afallenhope | DozedOnLinux, why | 09:27 |
| Detrix | thats what I thought | 09:27 |
| DozedOnLinux | afallenhope: long story, short answer | 09:27 |
| airspace | sad thing is that if you want to get ubuntu to Africa you should bear in mind that about 70 to 80% of africa will connect to internet using their cellphone networks so a Bluetooth cellphone modem is a must - simple as that | 09:27 |
| afallenhope | DozedOnLinux, I like stories :D | 09:27 |
| DozedOnLinux | Detrix: you do have a root password do you not ? | 09:27 |
| Detrix | I have the one for my initial account to sudo with, yes | 09:28 |
| joejoecircusboy | airspace: It does work (i've used it).. but it is tricky... | 09:28 |

| k4r1m | how do i make ubuntu always show me hidden files? | 09:31 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_willis: Yes. | 09:31 |
| alraune | k4r1m: view/options show hidden files | 09:31 |
| bullgard4 | k4r1m: There is no "always". You can make individual programs to show them. | 09:32 |
| Dr_willis | k4r1m, its the specific file manager/tool that hides them. | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard4: Probably means that the partition is mounted and therefore cannot be modifies ( right click it to unmount it ) | 09:32 |
| k4r1m | i figured | 09:32 |
| TeslaTony | k4r1m: Hit ctrl+H. That will show the hidden files in a given directory, but it won always show them until you hit the combo | 09:32 |
| lboken | mabye but joejoe its with comment like that that they will know how to improve ubuntu so its the user to have who saw that that should say hey if linux is a comunoty project they probably take sugestion so seach for that | 09:32 |

| allquixotic_ | thanks | 09:33 |
| bullgard4 | Jordan_U: If your statement is true, what does indicate a GNOME keyring icon in another partition entry? | 09:33 |
| ikonia | afallenhope: if you use the purgre option in apt or the "remove all" in synaptic against the flashplugin-nonfree you'll remove it all | 09:34 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard4: I don't know | 09:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | lboken: My point is, users like airspace aren't part of the community. They're just people trying it out, if they don't like it, what makes you think they'll invest time filing a bug report on what didn't work out for them? (Hell, most regular users aren't willing to do that) | 09:34 |
| bullgard4 | Jordan_U: Ok. | 09:34 |
| afallenhope | ikonia, sweeet.. and to reinstall it it's sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? | 09:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | lboken: Ubuntu should make it easy to give feedback. Put a 'feedback' icon on the desk that new user can click and start typing | 09:34 |

| arwan | him I recently installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron, but I'm having problems getting an IP from my ISP's dhcp every first I boot, I have to reboot once or several times before Ubuntu gets me an IP (when I reboot to Vista I have an IP right away, always). Anybody here could help me out? Coz I'm about to uninstall Ubuntu forever | 09:35 |
| dextone | grrrrrrr | 09:35 |
| dextone | guys | 09:35 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: the orange exclimation mark means it can't read the contents of that partition | 09:35 |
| lboken | yes that the feed back icon woudl be a good idea that i agree with you | 09:35 |
| === Zeit|awy_ is now known as Zeit|awy | ||
| ikonia | bullgard4: the keyring means "partition locked/in use" | 09:35 |
| afallenhope | arwan, could be dhcp issue. try typeing sudo dhclient | 09:35 |
| dextone | what's the difference of Ubuntu AMD 64 version ? | 09:35 |
| ikonia | dextone: it's 64bit | 09:36 |
| afallenhope | dextone, it's 64 | 09:36 |
| joejoecircusboy | lboken: you should file a bug to have it added :P | 09:36 |
| afallenhope | ikonia, to reinstall it's just apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? | 09:36 |
| rustychicken | joejoecircusboy: sometimes it is the users that are just trying it out that give the best feedback as to how to make it easier for them to switch. i think everybody wants to make it easier to switch OSes, so listening to the newbies (provided the advice isn't like "make foo faster") is a good idea. at least thats my opinion... | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | joejoecircusboy: The Ubuntu devs don't have the man power to handle that much feedback :) ( there is idea storm though ) | 09:36 |
| ikonia | afallenhope: you can do | 09:36 |
| arwan | afallenhope, I tried that, sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't... but I don't want to do thatevery time I boot my machine | 09:36 |
| dextone | afallenhope, thx | 09:36 |
| alraune | arwan:if u want uninstall, don't waste peoples time; try network applet >switch on or offline instaed of reboot | 09:36 |
| dextone | but is it posible runing 32 apps on 64bit OS ? | 09:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | jordon_U: Feed it to the community then, passionate contributors can scan the feedback and file bug reports | 09:37 |
| lboken | dex its a 64 bit but i dont recommend it cause after that you will ahve trouble to install non repository like me i tryed xubutu amd64 and i had trouble when it came to install new programe for streaming music | 09:37 |
| arwan | alraune, I don't wnat to uninstall, I wnat to use ubuntu, but it's driving my crazy with this dhcp thingie | 09:37 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: the exclimation marks are "normally" on ntfs partitions because gparted can't read them | 09:37 |
| lboken | so i reinstall the 32 bits | 09:37 |
| derekv | Where is the file that should be .gnome2/session ? | 09:37 |
| lboken | cause most of the other you would have to recompile the installation | 09:37 |
| dextone | lboken, i wanna use it for mail server | 09:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | rustychicken: so we're on the same page then? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | lboken: please don't talk nonsense | 09:37 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: " it can't read" may mean in a ntfs partition that on this computer that the ntfs driver is not installed? | 09:37 |
| alraune | arwan:how did you configure your network ? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | dextone: its more than capable | 09:37 |
| lboken | ikonia what is nosense? | 09:38 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it probably means gparted is not setup to read the ntfs partition because it doesn't want to, eg; why does it care about the data | 09:38 |
| ikonia | lboken: you will have trouble using external repos | 09:38 |
| dextone | so if i wanna use advantages of my proc (amd 64bit for sure) i'll install amd64bit ubuntu ? | 09:38 |
| rustychicken | joejoecircusboy: i believe so, sorry, i hadn't read some of your messages | 09:38 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: Imagine if said feedback feature just wrote a dedication forum on ubuntuforums.org, developers or contributers just scan it at their leisure and see where the gaps are | 09:39 |
| ikonia | dextone: how much ram do you have ? | 09:39 |
| alraune | arwan:what in your environment provides dhcp ? your router ? usually private customers get a static ip from their Isp, something different from the users internal network-dhcp | 09:39 |
| lboken | ikonia didy ou actualy tryed to install other programe that doesnt come in 64 bits? i did and i woudl had to recopiles them some will work but not all | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | dextone, i never bother with the 64bit disrto versions. | 09:39 |
| dextone | only 2 G | 09:39 |
| ikonia | lboken: yes, many times | 09:39 |
| arwan | alraune, well right now it's in roaming mode, which seems to work most of the time. Perhaps I should also note that I disabled the avahi daemon | 09:39 |
| dextone | ikonia, why ? is it not enough ? | 09:39 |
| lboken | well you must had recompiled the programe like i sayed many will work still but some wont | 09:39 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I need time to think it over. -- Thank you very much for your valuable explanations. | 09:39 |
| arwan | alraune: my ISP provides DHCP and it's worked like that for years | 09:39 |
| lboken | or will be harder | 09:39 |
| ikonia | dextone: no no, but if you have under 4 gig of ram, there is no real "out of the box" performance unless your doing things like video encodeign (just an easy example) | 09:40 |
| alraune | arwan:next to your pc is a router and next to it the phone jack ? | 09:40 |
| lboken | like me i have still trouble with recompilating | 09:40 |
| arwan | alraune: my pc is connected straight to my ISP's cable modem | 09:40 |
| ikonia | dextone: video encoding | 09:40 |
| ikonia | lboken: he mentioned nothing about recompiling - don't say a product is bad without any reason | 09:40 |
| === c1|freaky is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||
| dextone | ok guys | 09:40 |
| dextone | bbl | 09:40 |
| ikonia | dextone: you'll potentially be better of and have an easier time with the 32bit desktop install | 09:41 |
| ikonia | dextone: remember the desktop version acts as a great server | 09:41 |
| alraune | arwan:so right connetion would be ppoe then; does your modem have a websurface ? | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | joejoecircusboy: I am afraid that there would be so much volume that 99% of it would never be read, if you put a feedback feature on the desktop you are implying that someone will take the time to read your feedback, I would be pretty insulted if a feedback feature sent my feedback to the practical equivalent of the bit bucket | 09:42 |
| lboken | yes its easier that waht i sayed and if he didnt knew the difference and asked if its will work with a 32bit programe then you can be sure he is like me and doesnt expect to have to recompile 50% of the time | 09:42 |
| arwan | alraune, modem with websurface? please explain, never heard of that before | 09:42 |
| yacc | Hmm, how can I make sshd accept more connections when say 30 clients try to connect at the same time, ... | 09:42 |
| rustychicken | arwan, i think he means | 09:42 |
| ikonia | lboken: he didn't ask if it will work with 32bit programs | 09:42 |
| rustychicken | arwan: web interface" | 09:42 |
| lboken | yes it did | 09:43 |
| arwan | rustychicken, cheers | 09:43 |
| ikonia | lboken: and more than %50 of teh 32bit applications are packaged for amd64 in the ubuntu repos | 09:43 |
| arwan | alraune, no webinterface on my modem no | 09:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: Well, that would depend on implementation/placement... so maybe 'feedback' on the desktop would be TOO easy... but ask it stands now, it's too hard to provide feedback... there should be a happy medium | 09:43 |
| rustychicken | arwan, you've heard of a "web interface" before, though, right? ;-) | 09:44 |
| lboken | <dextone> but is it posible runing 32 apps on 64bit OS ? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | lboken: I missed that | 09:44 |
| wols | ikonia: all of debian is available on 64bit except some parts which can't be for technical reasons. | 09:44 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: Also, it'd have to be made clear it was a 1-way communication, no responses would be given | 09:44 |
| arwan | rustychicken, sure have ;) I develop them at work ;) | 09:44 |
| alraune | arwan:some "better" routers can be configured by a simple interface reachable with a broeser, k not, open a Terminal, get your isp data handy (username&password from your Isp) | 09:44 |
| arwan | alraune, sorry if I sound harsh, but there's no problem with my modem, no problem with my ISP, no problem with my cable, etc... it's ubuntu which fails to get an IP from the DHCP, every other OS I try gets an IP right away (even Vista :/) | 09:44 |
| lboken | so that why i sayed that i recommend more the 32 bits cause its alot more work that all yes the 64 bit may be good for most of it but for every day user using a 64 bits would be to mush work when installing user 32 bit programs | 09:45 |
| wols | arwan: what's the IP of the modem in windows? | 09:45 |
| ikonia | wols: exactly | 09:45 |
| TeslaTony | Where is the xorg.conf file stored? | 09:45 |
| ikonia | TeslaTony: /etc/X11 | 09:45 |
| wols | TeslaTony: /etc/X11 | 09:45 |
| anto | t | 09:45 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: aside: I kinda like the ticket voting system that Sun uses...Canonical should adopt something similar | 09:45 |
| lboken | but he then sayed he wanted to use it as a email server (if you didnt interupted me i would had sayd then it has in it alreayd in the repository a mail server so it will work good for that | 09:46 |
| arwan | alraune, so I must have a setting wrong in Ubuntu, but I can't for the life find out what... is it this avahi which I never heard about, it is this roaming mode... i don't know :( | 09:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | lboken: how can someone interrupt you on IRC? :P | 09:46 |
| alraune | arwan: open a Terminal, get your isp data handy (username&password from your Isp) | 09:46 |
| arwan | wols: it's a public IP, something like 213..... | 09:46 |
| wols | arwan: avahi is a zeroconf implementation. | 09:46 |
| wols | arwan: so it's a modem and no router? | 09:46 |
| lboken | well way to say i was going to type but when y sayed i talk nonsense i wanted to explained my self so it wasnt nonsence cause i know my english isnt perfect since im french canadian | 09:47 |
| alraune | wols:kabelmodem, yes | 09:47 |
| wols | and your windows box has a public IP? | 09:47 |

| alraune | arwan: open a Terminal, get your isp data handy (username&password from your Isp) | 09:51 |
| wols | another possible thing is a nf4 chipset but on a lappie this is improbable | 09:51 |
| deever | anyone here who brought a epson stylus photo r200 to work under 8.04? under localhost:631/printers/ it is listed, but can't print anything and there are no errors in the logs... | 09:52 |
| wols | arwan: sorry to say it but you didn't give any indication if you knew anything or be vint cerf himself | 09:52 |
| arwan | wols: eth0 exists on my laptop yes (using it right now) | 09:52 |
| wols | arwan: you are not under ubuntu so your current statement is meaningless | 09:52 |
| arwan | wols: well, beat me with a stick... but I'm seeing some weird bird on my desktop and when my machine boots it says Ubuntu | 09:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | hehe | 09:53 |
| wols | so you're connected to the interweb right now? so what's the problem? | 09:53 |
| kokobuntu | hello ... how to set ubuntu to hibernate instead of suspend? | 09:53 |
| wols | my understanding was you didn't get a connection on ubuntu. which is why you were asking about it | 09:53 |
| alraune | deever:its listed as compatible in hardware list | 09:53 |
| arwan | wols: that I have to reboot several times, or fiddle with the network settings before I get an IP from my DHCP. And before you start accusing my ISP, there's is nothing wrong with their services. I must be doing someting wrong in Ubuntu | 09:54 |
| kokobuntu | ... I mean i don't want to sleep after let say 1 hour of idle... I want to hibernate | 09:54 |
| alraune | arwan: open a Terminal, get your isp data handy (username&password from your Isp) | 09:54 |
| wols | arwan: what does the fiddling involve? this is WLAN? if so, what chip? | 09:54 |
| Dr_willis | arwan, or a i bit of both beign wrong... :) Could be some 'timeout' is going too fast/slow... and one end is not waiting long enough | 09:55 |
| arwan | alraune: terminal is up, username and pasword at hand | 09:55 |
| alraune | arwan: type : sudo pppoeconf | 09:55 |
| deever | alraune: on another box, it worked out-of-the-box after plugging it in | 09:55 |
| wols | alraune: what makes you think it's pppoe? | 09:56 |
| wols | alraune: pppoe doesn't hand out IPs via DHCP fyi | 09:56 |
| arwan | wols: the fiddling involves opening the 'manual configuration' through the network applet, enabling/disabling the interface, chaning it's properties form roaming mode to DHCP, using ifup/ifdown, etc | 09:56 |
| alraune | arwan: but configures your ethernet | 09:56 |
| arwan | alraune, inside of ppoeconf | 09:57 |
| wols | arwan: I'd only deal with /etc/network/interfaces and dhclient with the problem. mixing network manager in imho complicates things. you as a slackware user should agree I think :) | 09:57 |
| Far_ | hey all | 09:57 |
| alraune | arwan: interfaces listed... | 09:57 |
| wols | arwan: while you are a connected now, is pppd running? | 09:57 |
| SCuriousMom | hello | 09:57 |
| alraune | arwan: choose the one u prbably got | 09:57 |
| kokobuntu | QUESTION: How to use hibernate instead of sleep after idle time? | 09:57 |
| rustychicken | hello SCuriousMom | 09:57 |
| alraune | arwan: need more help with the screens ? | 09:58 |
| arwan | alraune, it asked if all my interfaces werelist, I choose yes since it showed my wired ethernet card and my wireless | 09:58 |
| arwan | alraune, now it's looking for a PPPoE Access Concetrator | 09:58 |
| alraune | arwan: yup | 09:58 |
| wols | alraune: he is online right now and there is no ppp0 interface. so what makes you think it's pppoe? | 09:59 |
| arwan | alraune: it now says it couldn't find any | 09:59 |
| wols | arwan: not surprising with a ISP that uses dhcp :P | 09:59 |
| alraune | wols: former connections to simple modems | 09:59 |
| wols | alraune: that is no sound reason | 09:59 |
| arwan | wols: indeed... but I'm just doing what alraune says... he's so very kind to try and help me! :) | 09:59 |
| Silent12 | can any 1 tell me how to back my linux installation | 09:59 |
| Silent12 | :( | 10:00 |
| wols | alraune: not in with all the contrary evidence | 10:00 |
| wols | !backup | 10:00 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 10:00 |
| Silent12 | yep | 10:00 |
| Silent12 | so that i dont have to reinstall all software over again after reinstalling | 10:00 |
| eth01 | your connection got a gateway? | 10:00 |
| alraune | arwan:?how can that be ? you are connected but can't find ? | 10:00 |
| wols | arwan: please don't waste our time. | 10:00 |
| wols | alraune: there is more than pppoe to connect to a ISP alraune | 10:00 |
| Silent12 | ubottu thanks :) | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :) | 10:01 |
| Far_ | is it possibel to get ubuntu to run with ipods and sync with mobile phones?? | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | Silent12, err... if you reinstall.. you will need to reisntall all the software.. otherwise it wont be a reinstall.. You can 'save' a list' of what you have currently installed. to make it easier... | 10:01 |
| eth01 | !ubottu | Silent12 | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Silent12: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 10:01 |
| alraune | !cloning>Silent12 | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Silent12, please see my private message | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | Silent12, or you could archive/copy/clone/mirror your existing setup and restore it exactly... | 10:01 |
| eth01 | alraune: what an earth are you doing? | 10:01 |
| alraune | arwan:can you give it a second scan/search ? | 10:02 |
| arwan | wols: i'm not trying to waste anybody's time... life's too short as is | 10:02 |
| Silent12 | setup you mean both home and root dir ? | 10:02 |
| eth01 | arwan: don't do reverse psychology | 10:02 |
| wols | arwan: you obviously know that you don't use pppoe | 10:02 |
| wols | arwan: you are connecting wired to your modem? | 10:03 |
| Silent12 | Dr_willisSilent12, or you could archive/copy/clone/mirror your existing setup and restore it exactly. <--- please tell me more | 10:03 |
| Silent12 | :( | 10:03 |
| eth01 | we heard you the first time, please don't post multiple times. | 10:03 |
| eth01 | ask, even | 10:03 |
| wols | Silent12: ubottu told you how to clone an install already | 10:03 |
| Dr_willis | Silent12, theres tools that 'copy' the whole hard drive to some other location, you then can restore.. I never bothe rwith it.. the info the bots gave will have info i imagine | 10:04 |
| Dr_willis | Silent12, it all depends on your exact needs and system/space | 10:04 |
| afallenhope | anyone know how to remove build-deps? | 10:04 |
| rustychicken | Silent12: Cloning is basically copying the data from one hard drive to another hard drive. There are many tools to do this, the best I have come across in my short experience/research is Clonezilla. | 10:04 |
| arwan | wols: yes I'm having a wired connection to my modem | 10:04 |
| wols | arwan: link is up? (see dmesg) | 10:04 |
| eth01 | duh | 10:04 |
| Silent12 | thanks rustychicken and all other who helped me | 10:04 |
| wols | afallenhope: describe what you want to do better please | 10:04 |
| deever | anyone here who brought a epson stylus photo r200 to work under 8.04? under localhost:631/printers/ it is listed, but can't print anything and there are no errors in the logs... | 10:04 |
| Silent12 | :) | 10:04 |
| Silent12 | i am trying that now | 10:05 |
| Shact | Hi guys. Does anyone know of a way to run a commercial Solaris ap in Ubuntu? | 10:05 |
| wols | !vm | Shact | 10:05 |
| ubottu | Shact: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 10:05 |
| alraune | wols: if its a simplest modem, can't store acces information, uses ppoe, if.. | 10:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | Shact: for SPARc? | 10:05 |
| wols | alraune: english please | 10:05 |
| afallenhope | wols, I entered the following command so that I can compile wine. sudo apt-get build-dep wine how am I to remove the deps now that it's already installed. | 10:05 |
| Shact | wols: no, not via vm - I was hoping for somehthing more like co-linux | 10:05 |
| wols | afallenhope: check your dpkg.log and remove the files which are build-deps. | 10:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | Shact: It's a Solaris x86 app? | 10:06 |
| dEagLE | how to view my webcam | 10:06 |
| wols | Shact: colinux is a virtual machine too | 10:06 |
| bullgard4 | Wie lautet der Name des NTFS-Treibers in Ubuntu 8.04? | 10:06 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| wols | Shact: and it works the same as e.g. virtualbox more or less: installs another OS under the current one | 10:06 |
| bullgard4 | What is the name of the NTFS driver in Ubuntu 8.04? | 10:07 |
| wols | bullgard4: english please. dpkg -L ntfs-3g | 10:07 |
| alraune | wols: ?.. if it (modem) can store the info., most probably got an interface with an adress range, so static IP would be more reliable | 10:07 |
| arwan | wols: I'm very happy that you're trying to help, but it seems like you missed a couple of my messages before... shall I start all over with trying to explain my problem | 10:07 |
| afallenhope | wols, where is the log | 10:07 |
| Shact | joe: yeah. The company dropped Linux support, so looking for alternatives | 10:07 |
| bullgard4 | wols: What is the name of the NTFS driver in Ubuntu 8.04? | 10:07 |
| wols | arwan: checking lastlog now | 10:07 |
| alraune | arwan:can you give it a second scan/search ? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: ntfs or ntfs-3g | 10:07 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Ah, thank you. | 10:08 |
| alraune | arwan:when using vista, didn't you have to tell vista once username&password given from your ISP ? | 10:08 |
| wols | arwan: I'd use /etc/network/interfaces directly, and not roaming mode | 10:08 |
| rustychicken | arwan: just for the record arwan, im totally with you. i have no idea what alraune is doing, but I chalk that up to my own inexperience with ppoe... | 10:08 |
| arwan | alraune, I could that yes. But like Wols suggested I never had to use PPPoE before, so I don't think i have to do that now | 10:09 |
| wols | rustychicken: he is simply barking up the wrong tree and doesn't even see how wrong he is | 10:09 |
| {mg} | Hey People! I try to connect to my wireless network, but nothing happens. Is there a log somewhere, where I can find more infos? | 10:09 |
| rustychicken | wols: agreed, i think he keyed in on the word modem, and is thinking 56k, not cable | 10:09 |
| wols | alraune: two things for you: he is connected via ubuntu to the modem right now and there is no pppd running. | 10:09 |
| alraune | wols: got that | 10:09 |
| wols | rustychicken: dsl in europe almost everywhere uses pppoe. cable less so | 10:09 |
| wols | alraune: then it follows there is no pppoe. agreed? | 10:10 |
| rustychicken | wols: huh...the more you know, i guess. | 10:10 |
| alraune | wols: I wonder why pppoeconf dosn't find his modem, go on | 10:10 |
| rustychicken | {mg}: do you know what kind of wireless chipset you have? | 10:11 |
| wols | alraune: it never looked for a modem. there is no AC. which is cause ther is no AC to find. not to mention that if the search ewre successful, he'd drop from the channel | 10:11 |
| wols | {mg}: logs are in /var/log | 10:11 |
| arwan | wols: I will try later on today by disabling raoming mode and using /etc/network/interfaces instead (but first read about that file in the manuals somewhere, coz I never used that one before either) | 10:11 |
| {mg} | rustychicken: no | 10:12 |
| kokobuntu | How to hibernate instead of sleep when idle? | 10:12 |
| wols | arwan: man interfaces. | 10:12 |
| alraune | wols:till a restart of whatever-messenger, browser | 10:12 |
| kokobuntu | Have any idea? | 10:12 |
| wols | alraune: easiest and most simple way to network | 10:12 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: You said you used slack? | 10:12 |
| {mg} | oh, got it! | 10:12 |
| wols | alraune: no. I currently use pppoe and you can't find the AC when the pppoe connection is running | 10:12 |
| wols | only if you stop pppd | 10:12 |
| Shact | wols: I don't think that's how co-linux works, but i'll take it as there's no decent solution to running solaris aps yet | 10:12 |
| ktulu77 | gi there | 10:13 |
| ktulu77 | hi | 10:13 |
| wols | Shact: I do since I run it myself and looked at it. it's "simply" a UML | 10:13 |
| arwan | wols: thank you, I think that's the file I've been looking for all the time :) being a slackware user that is | 10:13 |
| {mg} | configured my wlan to only assign a max of one IP. So it couldnt provide IPs to 2 machines. | 10:13 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, yes I did for a couple of years | 10:13 |
| wols | arwan: I told you all along to ditch that GUI rubbish, but you wouldn't listen :P | 10:13 |
| lashi | anyone in here knows much about the GNOME? | 10:13 |
| kokobuntu | Can anyone see my post? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | kokobuntu: yes | 10:13 |
| lashi | I basically came back from a power outage, and my desktop appearance settings arn't being applied | 10:13 |
| ekow | is it possible to link my wireless connection to my guest machine on virtualbox by any chance? | 10:13 |
| wols | !patience | kokobuntu | 10:13 |
| ubottu | kokobuntu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 10:13 |
| lashi | that includes the annoying touchpad that I disabled for tapping | 10:14 |
| wols | ekow: yes. bridging | 10:14 |
| alraune | wols: what do you think causes the long tim when he boots in to get connected ? I would guess the communication between his nic and the modem | 10:14 |
| kokobuntu | OK! sorry to be annoying ... at least let me know that there is no solution so I can do something else | 10:14 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: So you should be familiar with ifconfig's output and meaning.... I suggest you take a snapshot of 'ifconfig -a' before and after you 'fiddle' and see what changed | 10:14 |
| ikonia | kokobuntu: no-one is answering, so please feel free to do something else | 10:14 |
| arwan | wols: one of the reason I decided to try Ubuntu was because of the pretty GUI's :) so sorry that I didn't wnat to throw them overboard right away :) | 10:14 |
| wols | there are good reasons for guis and bad ones .) | 10:15 |
| rustychicken | kokobuntu: if you havent tried them already, the forums (http://www.ubuntuforums.org) are a very good place to get more help | 10:15 |
| lboken | i jsut remember somthing , does any one know a way to reset the xserver(graphic server) cause i do use a kvm(to switch from a pc to the other and if one is booting i have to lets the screen set to that one or the resolution is screwed up(i konw with kde there is a option in the loging page reset xserver but is ther e a way to have it on a gnome graphical manager? | 10:15 |
| kokobuntu | wow ... wonder why people use this piece of crap ... not friendly at all | 10:15 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, yes I'm familiar with it's output... and to be honest I thik it's this avahi that was throwing me off, got a bit agrevated | 10:15 |
| ikonia | lboken: ctrl+alt+backspace will restart the X server | 10:15 |
| wols | !language < kokobuntu | 10:15 |
| Shact | wols: i was under the impression that most virtualisation software translated system commands, while co-linux adds system commands to the existing set. That's pretty much what it said on their site when it was launched | 10:15 |
| ubottu | wols: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:15 |
| wols | !language > kokobuntu | 10:15 |
| ubottu | kokobuntu, please see my private message | 10:15 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: why do you think it's avahi? | 10:16 |
| Silent12 | guys i am one more question --- > i have to partitions root and home.Can you tell me which partition i need to backup or creat image so that after restoring my backup i get the previous state of the system ie | 10:16 |
| kokobuntu | :) Will not be the first distro not used by people because of poor helps | 10:16 |
| kokobuntu | bye all | 10:16 |
| lashi | Silent12 | 10:16 |
| wols | Shact: that makes no sense. CoLinux uses an UML kernel which works in usermode. they add some drivers for things like their hdd image and that's it | 10:16 |
| Silent12 | ya ? | 10:16 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy: not sure, just thing this feeling... but by now I'm not sure of anything anymore | 10:16 |
| Asmodeus-hu | hi | 10:16 |
| lashi | basically, you need to keep your home stuff to keep your user data | 10:17 |
| lashi | that's where your user data goes | 10:17 |
| Asmodeus-hu | anyone can help me about WUBI? | 10:17 |
| wols | !ask | Asmodeus-hu | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Asmodeus-hu: 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. :-) | 10:17 |
| Silent12 | and the installition software ? | 10:17 |
| lashi | in terms of the installed apps and their settings, all that lies in /var and /etc | 10:17 |
| lashi | well, dpkg --get-selections or, even better, aptitude search '~i' will get you a list of installed packages | 10:17 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: Hmm.. does avahi play with routing interfaces at all? I though it was just about service discovery on the local network | 10:17 |
| lboken | ha good ill make a note now what i was doing i was loging as it was then onlog (less long to than rebooting the pc lol) but now it will be easier that way thanks ikonia | 10:17 |
| lashi | but their 'state' is usually kept in /etc | 10:17 |
| lashi | what are you trying to do? | 10:18 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: routing or* interfaces | 10:18 |
| lashi | and for the love and sake of god, is there anyone who knows this GUI stuff in here | 10:18 |
| Silent12 | so if i save these 3 dirs that copy n paste from the previous state will bring back my previous state ? | 10:18 |
| alraune | arwan:ask on , you can stop the connecion and use pppoeconf, but obviousley other ways, too | 10:18 |
| lashi | well, no, not necessary | 10:18 |
| lashi | what are you trying to do? | 10:18 |
| Silent12 | i am trying to creat a back up | 10:18 |
| Asmodeus-hu | ok, so I installed Ubuntu with WUBI, but now I have to Reinstall my Windows, and I want to del Ubuntu from my hard disk, but when I click on "uninstall.exe" nothing do. | 10:18 |
| lashi | Oh rightio | 10:18 |
| Shact | wols: then how come it runs so much better than others? | 10:18 |
| dam | how do i make more space? | 10:18 |
| lashi | well, basically, you want to do that aptitude thing | 10:18 |
| dam | clear temp files? | 10:18 |
| lashi | that'll tell you what software is installed on yoru system | 10:18 |
| wols | !better | Shact | 10:18 |
| ubottu | Shact: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:18 |
| Silent12 | so that after reinstallation ie newly it will restore my previous state | 10:18 |
| lashi | you want to backup /etc | 10:18 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, I have no idea what avahi actually does, and don't really understand it's purpose (being a slackware user who loves manual configuration for this kind of stuff) | 10:18 |
| lashi | that should be sufficient | 10:19 |
| lashi | but really, you can get the system back | 10:19 |
| lashi | it's really the user data that you should be worried about | 10:19 |
| lashi | well, no | 10:19 |
| wols | arwan: it's a zeroconf implementation | 10:19 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, but I suggest you don't waste your time on me. I will follow Wols advice and see where that gets me | 10:19 |
| Silent12 | then what | 10:19 |
| Shact | wols: lol. aps in co-linux seem to run at full speed. no so on other vms | 10:19 |
| Shact | full speed = better | 10:19 |
| lashi | the solution I gave, you have to reinstall the packages that you get as an output from aptitude '~i' | 10:19 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: manual interfaces? That's a bit of a hack | 10:19 |
| lashi | so you should save that info | 10:19 |
| lashi | like aptitude '~i' > installed-apps | 10:20 |
| lashi | that'll basically save a text list of installed apps | 10:20 |
| lashi | beware though, you need to go and edit that file to make it usable later | 10:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: IMO, if something is wrong you should try to fix it rather than pulling the rug out, so to speak | 10:20 |
| morningwalker | can i install SELinux on ubuntu?? | 10:20 |
| Silent12 | hmmm | 10:20 |
| coffinzm | is there a parameter i can issue when starting an application from the terminal that makes that application automatically "always on top" | 10:20 |
| lashi | then you can issue something like aptitude install 'cat installed-apps-parsed-file' | 10:20 |
| wols | joejoecircusboy: /etc/network/interfaces is a standard way of configuring the network | 10:20 |
| Silent12 | only copying and pasting wont work | 10:20 |
| lashi | Silent12, are there no GUI based backup stuff? | 10:20 |
| morningwalker | can i install SELinux?? | 10:21 |
| Silent12 | well i have 64 bit version | 10:21 |
| lashi | well, you can copy and paste, but you want to obviously restore the software you've got on there | 10:21 |
| rustychicken | arwan: a really lazy way to see if removing/disabling avahi is the problem is to just pop in the livecd and see if you can get the connection working on that without killing avahi, but i suppose if you like configing things... ;-) | 10:21 |
| Silent12 | ands i can getting 32 bits software | 10:21 |
| ikonia | morningwalker: ubuntu uses appamour | 10:21 |
| lashi | the bit size of your bus is iirellveant | 10:21 |
| Silent12 | ya | 10:21 |
| lashi | i'm running amd64 too | 10:21 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols: Ya, so is using the network manager.... he should need to 'fiddle' with it | 10:21 |
| morningwalker | ikonia: SELinux is there in the repos tho | 10:21 |
| mugdha | Hi, I mistakenly removed from the panel the pidgin notification that says i am online and which appears besides the switch user icon on the right side of the top panel :(, how can i get it back? | 10:21 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols: *shouldn't | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Silent12: only specific 32bit software is available to run in 32bit mode on ubuntu 64bit, however most 32bit software has been recompiled in 64bit versions | 10:21 |
| ikonia | morningwalker: it sure is | 10:21 |
| Silent12 | but the software i got for creating imaege is 32 bit | 10:21 |
| Asmodeus-hu | ok, so I installed Ubuntu with WUBI, but now I have to Reinstall my Windows, and I want to del Ubuntu from my hard disk, but when I click on "uninstall.exe" nothing do. | 10:21 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, I share that opinion... I would love to find the cause of this problem... but I should also get some work done, so I might just take the fast route this time | 10:22 |
| morningwalker | ikonia: I installed SELinux some time ago | 10:22 |
| lashi | who wrote this software | 10:22 |
| Silent12 | not clonezilla | 10:22 |
| lashi | that's badly written software | 10:22 |
| morningwalker | but had problems, so had to reboot | 10:22 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: understandable | 10:22 |
| alraune | morningwalker:apt-cache search se... | 10:22 |
| ikonia | morningwalker: ok.....??? | 10:22 |
| lashi | basically, if that's the case | 10:22 |
| Silent12 | thats the software i need to creat image | 10:22 |
| lashi | then my option is one way to do it | 10:22 |
| wols | Asmodeus-hu: if you reinstall windows you can just delete the wubi files | 10:22 |
| morningwalker | ikonia: what is you told me ubuntu use's instead of SELinux..? | 10:22 |
| Asmodeus-hu | so not need to use "uninstall" ? | 10:22 |
| lashi | I'm amazed that amongst all the guiness that's happened int he linux world, there isn't a frontend for making backups | 10:22 |
| lashi | but Silent12 | 10:22 |
| * morningwalker wondering | 10:22 | |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: btw, do you have multiple interfaces? | 10:23 |
| lashi | basically, there are three logical things: | 10:23 |
| ikonia | morningwalker: appamour is ubuntus security implimentation. | 10:23 |
| Silent12 | nope | 10:23 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, yes, a wired and a wireless one | 10:23 |
| lashi | (1) software on your system (2) settings for your software (3) user data | 10:23 |
| wols | Asmodeus-hu: If it doesn't work. when you boot do you get grub or the windows bootloader? tho again, with windows reinstalled it will overwrite grub if it's there | 10:23 |
| lashi | we can negect (3), ebcause that's easy to do, just simply backup /home | 10:23 |
| rustychicken | Silent12: Clonezilla runs on 64 bit machines (I've done it)...dont know if they have a 64-bit release or not. | 10:23 |
| lashi | so, that leaves us with (1) and (2) | 10:23 |
| Asmodeus-hu | ok, thanks | 10:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: if the manual config doesn't work, you may want to take a closer look at the interface naming - make sure it's consistent between boots and after fiddling | 10:23 |
| lashi | rustychicken, it might run on 64 bit machines, but does it run at 64-bits? | 10:24 |
| morningwalker | ikoniak... there by default?? | 10:24 |
| morningwalker | appamour | 10:24 |
| lashi | Ie., with the CrapTel/Intel Architecture, EM64 or AMD64 are extensions | 10:24 |
| rustychicken | Silent12: the only problem you may run into (and this may have been what you were asking all along) is that Clonezilla may restore some 32-bit apps when you have a 64-bit machine... | 10:24 |
| lashi | so, you can run that cpu at 32 bits | 10:24 |
| rustychicken | lashi: i dont know, lemme see if theyve got a 64-bit version | 10:24 |
| ikonia | rustychicken: restore some 32bit apps ?/? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | rustychicken: what are you talking about ? | 10:24 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, you mean that just maybe the first I boot my wireless gets named eth1 and trhe second time it gets named eth0 ? | 10:24 |
| lashi | and anyone here can answer my question PLEASE? | 10:25 |
| lashi | I know very little about all this fancy new GUI stuff | 10:25 |
| ikonia | lashi: a 64bit cpu will be able to run the 32bit distro | 10:25 |
| ikonia | lashi: but 32bit software will not run nativly within a 64bit OS | 10:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: ya, ubuntu uses udev to do interface naming - I've seen it get confused | 10:25 |
| Dr_willis | lashi, people have been running 32bit OS's on 64bit cpus since the 64bit cpus have been out. :) | 10:25 |
| wols | ikonia: why not? | 10:25 |
| lashi | ikonia, yes it will | 10:25 |
| lashi | that's the whole idea of the AMD64 extensions | 10:26 |
| lashi | ie. my skype at the moment, for instance | 10:26 |
| lashi | you do a --force install, and it runs | 10:26 |
| lashi | no worries | 10:26 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, aha, that would explain a whole lot! Wols mention something about udev earlier on too | 10:26 |
| lashi | Of course, it depends ikonia | 10:26 |
| ikonia | nativly is pehaps not the %100 correct term | 10:26 |
| fanfan | 我 | 10:26 |
| lashi | well, what is the right term | 10:26 |
| ikonia | you can't just dum 32bit software onto the ubuntu 64bit platform | 10:26 |
| lashi | you can | 10:26 |
| ikonia | dump | 10:26 |
| lashi | I've done it | 10:26 |
| wols | ikonia: it is pretty native, trust me there :) at least under AMD64 | 10:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | arwan: and don't forget to look into your pppoe conf :P | 10:26 |
| lashi | yeah | 10:26 |
| ikonia | lashi: no you can't ubuntu is not multilib | 10:27 |
| Marti1 | Hi, i wanna install nvidia drivers but i dunno how to get to text mode. Can you tell me how ? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | wols: native was not the correct term, | 10:27 |
| lashi | ikonia, how doy ou think flashplugin works for ubuntu? | 10:27 |
| arwan | joejoecircusboy, grrrrr :p hehe | 10:27 |
| lashi | how do you think skype works on ubuntu | 10:27 |
| lashi | Go and look it up, then come back to me | 10:27 |
| rustychicken | ikonia: sounded to me like he was going to backup a few 32-bit binaries and then try to run them on a 64-bit machine... but i guess i misunderstood him... | 10:27 |
| wols | Marti1: you don't need to. nvidia.com drivers are not supported here. use the restricted drivers coming with ubuntu | 10:27 |
| ikonia | lashi: as I've said you can't just dump 32bit software into ubuntu 64bit | 10:27 |
| lashi | I've got 32 bit stuff running con my AMD64 Ubuntu distro | 10:27 |
| lashi | ikonia, I have and it works fine | 10:27 |
| lashi | of course, it's not supported | 10:27 |
| ikonia | lashi: you can run 32bit software, I didn't say you can't, but you can't just dump 32bit software in | 10:27 |
| lashi | but that's not the point | 10:27 |
| igogiko | yeah | 10:27 |
| wols | ikonia: you can if you dump enough 32bit libs too :P | 10:27 |
| igogiko | :D | 10:27 |
| pjvandehaar | lashi: skype is made to work for linux, if thats what you mean | 10:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | ikonia: actually, you can for the most part :) | 10:28 |
| igogiko | anybody know where is finland serv? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | wols: exactly AND in the correct location as ubuntu is not multilib so /lib is lib64 | 10:28 |
| lashi | pjvandehaar, not linux, we're talking about running skype on 64-bit machine | 10:28 |
| ikonia | wols: so the software has to be aware of the layout | 10:28 |
| lashi | pjvandehaar, skype is compiled for 32-bits in the Intel Architecture | 10:28 |
| Marti1 | wols: i cant install them, it says files are not found on server. tell me how to get to text mode plz | 10:28 |
| wols | ikonia: chroots to the rescue :) | 10:28 |
| lashi | but with AMD64, you can run the 32-bits | 10:28 |
| ikonia | wols: yes, which nativly should read "out of the box" | 10:28 |
| ikonia | lashi: yes but not all software is aware of the corect path | 10:28 |
| ikonia | lashi: ubuntu is not multilib | 10:28 |
| lashi | Of course | 10:29 |
| lashi | I know that | 10:29 |
| wols | ikonia: btw, at least in debian there is multilib work done. so I guess ubuntu will get it too | 10:29 |
| lashi | I'm not saying you can do it for everything | 10:29 |
| chimaera | Hi, just installed VLC. Video is working, but I just get white noise for audio. I have the pulse-audio-plugin installed and selected. | 10:29 |
| ikonia | lashi: so you can't just "dump 32bit software" in | 10:29 |
| omkar | hello guys | 10:29 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Is the filename of the NTFS driver in Ubuntu 8.04 /bin/ntfs-3g? | 10:29 |
| lashi | it's not suomthing that's supported | 10:29 |
| arwan | wols, rustychicken, joejoecircusboy and alraune, I'm very grateful for all the help! I hope can nail this problem down and fix it so that I can become a long time Ubuntu user. Off to work now, cya laters! | 10:29 |
| lashi | but for the most part, you can | 10:29 |
| lashi | and I have | 10:29 |
| omkar | i want to setup passwd for ubuntu | 10:29 |
| lashi | if you know what you're doing | 10:29 |
| omkar | roo | 10:29 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: no, thats an application | 10:29 |
| lashi | but can someone PLEASE answer my GUI problem | 10:29 |
| lashi | hahahaha | 10:29 |
| ikonia | wols: ubuntu has some support in there | 10:29 |
| omkar | i want to setup passwd for root in Ubuntu | 10:29 |
| lashi | all this GUI stuff is too new for me | 10:29 |
| rustychicken | Silent12 (or Silent123...) what are you looking to backup? a list of currently installed programs, your user data, or everything? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | lashi: I'm afriad not, if a program is expecting /lib to contain the 32bit apps - how do you just "dump" that in ? | 10:30 |
| rustychicken | arwan: sorry i wasnt more help... | 10:30 |
| alraune | O:-) | 10:30 |
| Marti1 | how i can get to text mode only for one session? | 10:30 |
| pjvandehaar | omkar:sys>admin>login window> security | 10:30 |
| lashi | ikonia, before you argue with me, please go and read about how this stuff works | 10:30 |
| Silent123 | everything so that after reinstalation on Os i get my old state back | 10:30 |
| deever | anyone here who brought a epson stylus photo r200 to work under 8.04? under localhost:631/printers/ it is listed, but can't print anything and there are no errors in the logs... | 10:30 |
| lashi | if you don't believe it doesn't work, then try installing something 32-bits | 10:30 |
| ikonia | lashi: I'm well aware how this works | 10:30 |
| lashi | basically, for something like flashplugin | 10:30 |
| joejoecircusboy | ikonia: I just scp'd /bin/bash from my 32bit laptop to my 64bit desktop (running 64bit Ubuntu).. the binary ran fine | 10:30 |
| ikonia | lashi: how do you just dump a 32bit bit application on a 64bit system that wants 32bit libs in /lib | 10:30 |
| lashi | well, ikonia if you're aware, then this discussion has a logical end | 10:31 |
| wols | joejoecircusboy: since you have the needed libs already installed ia32libs for example | 10:31 |
| arwan | rustychicken, don't be sorry... you can't help every one (especially stubburn users like me) | 10:31 |
| ikonia | lashi: if you could explain that question I'd be most greatful | 10:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols: Of course, but the binary didn't need to be made aware of the special location of the libraries | 10:31 |
| lashi | because ikonia, there are probably separate 32-bit libs, amd64 was made for backward compatibility, | 10:31 |
| pjvandehaar | omkar: or do you have a password and forgot it? | 10:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols: which is what ikonia is claiming... | 10:31 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: hmm...im not understanding something. if you want to back up everything, why do you want to reinstall in the first place? are you trying to migrate from ubuntu 32-bit to ubuntu 64-bit? | 10:31 |
| omkar | no | 10:31 |
| ikonia | lashi: no | 10:31 |
| lashi | we're not talkign about the difference ie with smoething like sparc64 and an old 32-bit sparc | 10:31 |
| omkar | i haven't setup passwd for root | 10:31 |
| lashi | ikonia, don't tell me no, go and look it up | 10:32 |
| omkar | i have done fresh installation of Ubuntu | 10:32 |
| lashi | this is a stupid argument | 10:32 |
| ikonia | lashi: I'm well aware of it | 10:32 |
| lashi | I'ev done this many times | 10:32 |
| rustychicken | arwan: true enough, have a good day at work, mate! | 10:32 |
| lashi | welll, obviously, you're not aware of crap | 10:32 |
| lashi | i'm sorry to be rude, but it's just arrogant to say no when I've done it | 10:32 |
| ikonia | lashi: we'll have to disagree on this | 10:32 |
| lashi | I'm not saying it's guarenteed to work | 10:32 |
| omkar | The login window hasn't appeard on my screen | 10:32 |
| ikonia | lashi: " so out of the box" is not correct | 10:32 |
| lashi | i'm saying *heuristically* it'll work for the most part | 10:32 |
| Silent123 | no | 10:32 |
| lashi | I didn't say out of the box ikonia | 10:32 |
| ikonia | lashi: but I did | 10:32 |
| lashi | we were talking about natively | 10:32 |
| lashi | no you said natively | 10:32 |
| Silent123 | i have alrdy 64bit installed | 10:32 |
| lashi | natively is a processor level thing | 10:33 |
| ikonia | lashi: I said nativly was the wrong word | 10:33 |
| lashi | out of the box is a higher level software issue | 10:33 |
| Marti1 | Hello how can i turn off graphic mode ? | 10:33 |
| lashi | okay, well I was going on about natively | 10:33 |
| Silent123 | i just want to make sure i dont lose my data and sttting when i am experimenting with the OS | 10:33 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: okay, then it sounds to me like you want to back up a few things then. you want to backup your user data, and you want to have the same programs installed. is that correct? | 10:34 |
| Silent123 | ya | 10:34 |
| cartman545 | test please ignore | 10:34 |
| Silent123 | i just fresh intalled my all essseintial programs | 10:34 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: ah. Well then, clonezilla is not meant for that. | 10:34 |
| Silent123 | and i want to backup that so if damages occure i can restore my previous | 10:35 |
| Silent123 | any software that creates images that will do but i am not finding any software on linux platform | 10:35 |
| mugdha | thanks i am done anyways | 10:36 |
| joejoecircusboy | ikonia: are you saying the location of linked libraries are stored within an executable? | 10:36 |
| mugdha | :) | 10:36 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: in your case, what I would do is have Synaptic create a list of all the installed programs (if you do it through Synaptic, you don't have to worry about 32-bit/64-bit compatibility, etc), and copy the entire /home/username (<-- whatever your username is) to your backup disk | 10:36 |
| alraune | Silent123:two differnt things to care of: the Os and its data and you and your data | 10:36 |
| spsneo | how to get man 3 pages in ubuntu? | 10:37 |
| alraune | Silent123:see rustychicken | 10:37 |
| Silent123 | and what about software setting ? | 10:37 |
| IhateMicrosoft | s | 10:37 |
| IhateMicrosoft | s | 10:37 |
| IhateMicrosoft | cazzo | 10:38 |
| Silent123 | will it be coppied by coppying the /home dir ? | 10:38 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: how many programs did you modify the config files for? If its less than 10, i would suggest to simply copy them individually. | 10:38 |
| Silent123 | more than 10+ | 10:38 |
| alraune | Silent123:software does the synapic/dpkg thing | 10:38 |
| Silent123 | + all the setting and plugins about mp3 n all | 10:38 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: system-wide settings (like networking, fstab, and xorg.conf) are not in the /home/username directory, so you will have to copy those yourself | 10:39 |
| Silent123 | so /etc copy will do ? | 10:39 |
| Silent123 | or i need other dir too if so pls mention | 10:39 |
| asdfasdfasdf | hi | 10:40 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: I dont know for sure, but my *guess* is probably. So you want to copy /etc and /home/username to your backup media, and create a list of programs that you have installed. | 10:40 |
| alraune | Silent123:ubu is not win, so if no hardwaredamage less often to reinstall, unless you don't clone your whole hd or partition, its always some work | 10:40 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: the only problem i can foresee is that i think some binaries are stored in /etc (anybody please correct me if im wrong), and so copying those binaries may break things | 10:41 |
| Dr_willis | rustychicken, ive seen 'links' to binaries in /etc/ but not actual binaries | 10:41 |
| Silent123 | hmmm | 10:41 |
| Silent123 | then what you guys suggest about software and its setting s ? | 10:42 |
| Silent123 | becouse in win we get software to create whole image which is lot easier | 10:42 |
| rustychicken | Dr_willis: how generic are those links, are they like ->/usr/bin/binaryfoo.12.4.releasecandidate4.2 or are they like ->/usr/bin/foo ? | 10:42 |
| Scorp_ | Guys, how can I know what is slowing the start up of my system ??? | 10:42 |
| Dr_willis | rustychicken, i think the 'update-alternatives' system has a lot of links to various things.. there may be others. I nmever backup all of /etc/ just a few select config files. | 10:43 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: any software setting that are specific to you are stored in /home/username | 10:43 |
| Ayabara | I'm gonna give video editing on my laptop a chance. What should I use to capture/edit video from a mini-dv Canon camera? | 10:43 |
| Commie_Jebus | http://gizmodo.com/5034839/windows-vista-pwned-by-web-exploit-that-cant-be-stopped | 10:43 |

| Silent123 | you mean to say after freah installation of Os i have to install the software too ? | 10:44 |
| rustychicken | Commie_Jebus: heh. color me surprised. *not* | 10:44 |
| asdfasdfasdf | how can i link 192.168.30.1 to 192.168.30.11 in order to get broadcast up and running? | 10:44 |
| asdfasdfasdf | tnx | 10:44 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: you built a vpn between two computers on the same network? | 10:44 |
| alraune | Silent123:hdcopy is the only 100% way of backup; whenever I reinstalled, many things (as my needs) changed in between, so i was more fond of doing a new config, of course not collecting all the soft, and of course always backed up user data | 10:44 |
| Silent123 | can you tell me a software that does hd copy for linux ? | 10:45 |
| asdfasdfasdf | joejoecircusboy: i build a vpn between two computers | 10:45 |
| asdfasdfasdf | the third one (30.1) connect not ciphered to the vpn server | 10:45 |
| Silent123 | becouse all the time installing softwre from scratchn is troublesome | 10:45 |
| asdfasdfasdf | what i need to do is to link the two networks | 10:46 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: To copy complete HDs or partitions, you can use Clonezilla. But, if youre going to just copy everything back, it may be pointless. | 10:46 |
| asdfasdfasdf | on the same class in order to recieve clearly broadcasts | 10:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: so 2 systems, 4 IP address, 1 IP network, correct? | 10:46 |
| asdfasdfasdf | yes | 10:46 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: If you use the list of currently installed programs, installing programs becomes very easy | 10:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: ya, that'll be fun :) | 10:46 |
| Grobvok | Where are the .deb packages downloaded from Add/Remove? | 10:46 |
| asdfasdfasdf | Server broadcasting -> server opevpn --------- client openvpn | 10:46 |
| rustychicken | Grobvok: i would just like to as: why do you need to know? | 10:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: So, to get the traffic to flow through the encrypted tunnel, you'll need to assign a more narrow route to the other machine, through the tun interface | 10:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: make sense? | 10:47 |
| rustychicken | *ask | 10:47 |
| asdfasdfasdf | you mean the broadcasting server? | 10:47 |
| asdfasdfasdf | i cant touch it | 10:47 |
| Grobvok | rustychicken: Because I have partially downloaded a big package and I want to remove it. | 10:47 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: On two Ubuntu 8.04 laptops the module fuse is installed. But on one Gparted shows the NTFS partitions as "can't read the contents of this partition". How to troubleshoot? | 10:48 |
| asdfasdfasdf | thaz the main prob. | 10:48 |
| Silent123 | but i installed the programs from softawre a manager and deleting/ corroption of OS will lose the instaltion of the software ? | 10:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: what do you mean by 'broadcast' exactly... do you mean 'transmit', or use of the broadcast address? | 10:48 |
| asdfasdfasdf | i cant touch the broadcasting server | 10:48 |
| asdfasdfasdf | it means it sends some udp packets over a port in broadcast | 10:48 |
| asdfasdfasdf | and that's what i need tog et | 10:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: sec, let me re-read | 10:48 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: reinstalling the OS will lose the currently install programs, yes. | 10:49 |
| Silent123 | but i dont want that :( | 10:49 |
| === dextone is now known as De[X]tone | ||
| Grobvok | Can anyone tell me where the packages from Add/Remove are downloaded? | 10:49 |
| asdfasdfasdf | i need to a have a working link between the broadcasting server and the client on the other side of the vpn | 10:49 |
| Silent123 | i want when i restore image all will be back to old state | 10:49 |
| Silent123 | like win | 10:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: oh, you're using tap | 10:49 |
| Silent123 | image creation | 10:49 |
| Silent123 | :@ | 10:49 |
| rustychicken | Grobvok: My suggestion would be to use Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic Package manager), i think it will clear out any of those things automatically | 10:49 |
| ubuntu | rg | 10:50 |
| asdfasdfasdf | i am using tap | 10:50 |
| asdfasdfasdf | would you suggest tun? | 10:50 |
| rustychicken | Silent123: so, you basically want to roll back to your current state - ie before something gets messed up? | 10:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | asdfasdfasdf: ok, so essentially you can look at it as two physical network you're running... (the real physical one, and the encrypted one) | 10:50 |
| pjvandehaar | so if i install loads of stuff in synaptic and then uninstall it does it leave files behind and still take up energy? | 10:51 |
| Silent123 | yes | 10:51 |
| Silent123 | exactly | 10:51 |

| Dazed42 | I'm newish to ubuntu. | 11:08 |
| Dazed42 | I installed it yesterday... | 11:08 |
| Dazed42 | ... and spent 5 hours just getting ventrillo to work in it. | 11:09 |
| Grobvok | Dazed42: Do you need help with Ubuntu? | 11:09 |
| Dazed42 | Eh, I dunno. | 11:10 |
| kenkku | !ask | Dazed42 | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Dazed42: 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. :-) | 11:10 |
| kenkku | meh. that wasn't good. | 11:10 |
| Dazed42 | Not really, I'm just tryign to learn more. | 11:10 |
| Dazed42 | Like... see some really cool stuff you can't do in windows. | 11:10 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: this is a support channel, it's intended for support requests. you probably won't learn much here | 11:10 |
| Dazed42 | I turned the animation settings up and was pretty pleased with it. | 11:11 |
| bullgard4 | On two Ubuntu 8.04 laptops the module fuse is installed. But on the T42, Gparted shows the NTFS partitions as "can't read the contents of this partition". How to troubleshoot? | 11:11 |
| Dazed42 | The way it like wobbles when you drag windows around. | 11:11 |
| Dazed42 | I wanted to try Beryl or compiz fsion but I dont see them in the package installer lists. | 11:11 |
| pjvandehaar | im really interested in learning more about linux and ubuntu in general- anyone know where a good tutorial is? | 11:11 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: if you like tweaking, install ccsm and tune the effects yourself | 11:11 |
| Dazed42 | What is ccsm? | 11:11 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: compiz configuration utility | 11:12 |
| jazzkutya | Dazed42: wobbling windows are already compiz stuff | 11:12 |
| Dazed42 | Yeah, I was pleasently surprised to see that they were included in ubuntu by default tho | 11:12 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: install compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:12 |
| Dazed42 | but not as many effects as beryl or compiz from what i say | 11:12 |
| Dazed42 | saw | 11:12 |
| Dazed42 | * | 11:13 |
| Dazed42 | Okay here's a real question | 11:13 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: then you'll find "Advanced desktop effects settings" in system -> preferences | 11:13 |
| Dazed42 | I see I have this package manager right | 11:13 |
| Dazed42 | IWith a list that updates | 11:13 |
| Dazed42 | And i can search through it | 11:13 |
| Dazed42 | But it doesnt have "everything" in it | 11:13 |
| kenkku | enable universe and multiverse | 11:13 |
| Dazed42 | so if i go google and find some tar.gz files | 11:13 |
| kenkku | that'll get you more | 11:14 |
| Dazed42 | i notice i cant jsut install them like exes | 11:14 |
| kenkku | still not all, but most of everything that you'll ever need | 11:14 |
| Dazed42 | Do i have to do some command line stuff to isntall those? | 11:14 |
| kenkku | yes, .tar.gz files are usually source code archives | 11:14 |
| kenkku | you need to compile them | 11:14 |
| Dazed42 | Or can i import them into the package installer somehow | 11:14 |
| kenkku | try searching for a package first | 11:14 |
| Dr_willis | Dazed42, learn to use the package manager.. and explore the package manager.. it is your friend. :) | 11:14 |
| Dazed42 | Or is there a gui app in ubuntu for compiling? | 11:14 |
| kenkku | no | 11:14 |
| kenkku | you must do it by hand from the terminal | 11:14 |
| Dazed42 | okay, that's good to know | 11:15 |
| Dazed42 | I haven't compiled anything yet. | 11:15 |
| kenkku | and it won't install the needed depedencies automatically either, like the package manager | 11:15 |
| Dr_willis | Dazed42, and learn about 'repositories' you add to the package manager list of 'packages' to expand the programs in the package manager listing | 11:15 |
| Dazed42 | Aha | 11:15 |
| Dazed42 | Well im on my xp boot right now | 11:15 |
| Dazed42 | im gonna get on linux so i can play with it :D | 11:15 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: you might want to enable universe in software sources | 11:15 |
| Dazed42 | Okay | 11:16 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: that'll get you a LOT of packages | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | give me a sec | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | which irc client should i grab? | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | for ubuntu | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | im using mirc here | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | What do you like? | 11:16 |
| jazzkutya | isn't universe enabled by default? i don't remember enabling it | 11:16 |
| pjvandehaar | pidgin | 11:16 |
| kenkku | well, personally I like irssi. but it's text-mode only | 11:16 |
| kenkku | jazzkutya: I don't know.. it might be | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | pidgin does irc too? | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | wow | 11:16 |
| pjvandehaar | dazed42: pidgin or irssi | 11:16 |
| Dazed42 | HAve you guys heard of an xfire plugin for pidgin? | 11:17 |
| pjvandehaar | dazed42: yes, its quite easy | 11:17 |
| issyl0 | Dazed42, you could always use Xchat, but personally I use Irssi. | 11:17 |
| Dazed42 | okay ill brb :D | 11:17 |
| jazzkutya | Dazed42: i recommend x-chat (not the gnome one) | 11:17 |
| jazzkutya | Dazed42: try them all and choose | 11:17 |
| Dazed42 | I will get that one then | 11:17 |
| pjvandehaar | issyl0: xchat is easy, but not as easy or nice as pidgin or irssi | 11:17 |
| Dazed42 | brbbbbb! | 11:18 |
| jazzkutya | pjvandehaar: i guess xchat is perfect for someone switching from mirc | 11:18 |
| issyl0 | pjvandehaar: Pidgin isn't a proper IRC client and Irssi, for new or users not used to text-only commandline, is hard. And Xchat, considering he's going from mIRC is good. | 11:19 |
| pjvandehaar | jazzkutya: you'd know better than me, i guess since i dont know what mirc is like | 11:19 |
| pjvandehaar | illyl0: irc is pretty much command line anyways, unless you use smillies | 11:20 |
| kindofabuzz | Kvirc ftw | 11:21 |
| Dazed42 | I have returned. | 11:21 |
| pjvandehaar | dazed42: with what? | 11:22 |
| Dazed42 | So... How do I stop orca from starting at startup? | 11:22 |
| Dazed42 | I chose to enable it during isntall | 11:22 |
| Dazed42 | now its being annoying as all hell | 11:22 |
| === root is now known as Guest86317 | ||

| Dazed42 | How can I edit the "Startup entries" | 11:23 |
| Dazed42 | ? | 11:23 |
| pjvandehaar | dazed42: isnt there a edit>preferences menu option? | 11:24 |
| Dazed42 | In orca? | 11:24 |
| Dazed42 | Yeah | 11:24 |
| Dazed42 | but it doesn't have a thing to disable starting on boot | 11:24 |
| pjvandehaar | no tabs? | 11:24 |
| Dazed42 | There is | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | But again | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | not that option there | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | I found this session manager thing | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | that seems to be similar | 11:25 |
| pjvandehaar | oh. well, then probably need to edit some text file | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | i set it to have only pidgin in it | 11:25 |
| pjvandehaar | but i dont know | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | and pidgin starts | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | But orca starts too | 11:25 |
| Dazed42 | and its not in there | 11:25 |
| Grobvok | Dazed42: Go to System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies | 11:25 |

| Dazed42 | quite impressed | 11:27 |
| Dazed42 | I think im ready to try compiz tho | 11:28 |
| kenkku | compiz is what you're seeing | 11:28 |
| Dr_willis | Dazed42, just fluff.. :) learn the core stuff! the meat and taters! not the dessert! | 11:28 |
| kenkku | it just uses quite mild default settings | 11:28 |
| Dazed42 | Oh, compiz comes with ubuntu? | 11:28 |

| Dazed42 | Sweet | 11:28 |
| Dr_willis | Dazed42, correct. | 11:28 |
| Dazed42 | would it be worthwhiel to check out beryl too? | 11:29 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: install compizconfig-settings-manager and you can enable anything you like in it | 11:29 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: no. beryl is deprecated | 11:29 |
| jazzkutya | btw preferred applications... how can i setup so movies play in mplayer but audio files in amarok? | 11:29 |
| Dazed42 | ok | 11:29 |
| Dazed42 | so ill try to find that manager package | 11:29 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: compiz fusion is what comes with ubuntu and it's the latest one | 11:29 |
| Dazed42 | oh btw | 11:29 |
| Dazed42 | where do i enable that "universe" you were talking about? | 11:30 |
| kenkku | there used to be compiz and beryl, beryl was a fork of compiz that had more eye candy but less stability. now we have compiz fusion, which is the two in one | 11:30 |
| Dazed42 | Nice | 11:30 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: it might be enabled by default, but system-administration-software sources | 11:30 |

| bullgard4 | The DEB program package ntfs-3g is installed. What is the path and filename of the read-write NTFS driver for FUSE? | 11:30 |
| kenkku | Rozza: g++ is the package | 11:31 |
| === omar1 is now known as Omar87 | ||

| Dazed42 | Yeah it is on universe by default | 11:31 |

| Rozza | ah ok, Thanks =) | 11:31 |
| Dazed42 | btw | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | bullgard4, you can either use the mount command with 'ntfs-3g' as the filesystem, or the 'ntfs-3g' command I belive... depending on what you are trying to do | 11:32 |
| Dazed42 | what is with this "hardy heron" and "gutsy gibbon" | 11:32 |

| perfector | Gnea, hi | 11:34 |
| Dazed42 | is it just a name given to the versions? | 11:34 |
| bullgard4 | bullgard4: As I said, I'd like to know the path and the filename of the driver. | 11:34 |
| kenkku | yep | 11:34 |
| Dazed42 | older ubuntu = gutsy? | 11:34 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: they go alphabetically, except the first two or three ones | 11:34 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: so h is newer than g | 11:34 |
| bullgard4 | Dazed42: yes. | 11:34 |
| Dazed42 | Cool | 11:34 |
| kenkku | next one is i, intrepid ibex | 11:34 |
| kenkku | Dazed42: also, the version NUMBER is something like x.yy, where x is the year and yy is the month. example: 8.04 = 2008/04, 7.10 = 2007/10 | 11:35 |
| pjvandehaar | something like dapper, edgy, fiesty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid | 11:35 |
| Dazed42 | Im using pidgin for irc right now, do you know how to disable it from telling me when people join and leave the channel | 11:35 |
| Dazed42 | its hella spammy | 11:35 |
| Dr_willis | Dazed42, i would say get a different irc client. | 11:35 |
| Dazed42 | roger that | 11:36 |
| pjvandehaar | dazed42:addons | 11:36 |
| jazzkutya | Dazed42: try x-chat, but not the gnome version | 11:36 |

| kaoron | Hi people! I'm experiencing some screen or system lockups on Hardy, with envy drivers for nvidia 7050 onboard gpu.

| kaoron | hen returning to X, same with X reboot. Sysrq works fine and let me reboot. Any idea to solve this? (xcuse my bad english plz :) ) | 11:37 |

| Dazed42 | unknown command :P | 11:37 |

| Grobvok | Aikon: The files shouldn't have spaces in their names. | 11:45 |
| Dazed42 | had to actually compile stuff | 11:45 |
| pub | How did you fix the whole can't speak after 2 seconds | 11:45 |
| newk | anyone use amsn? not loggin in for me ??? | 11:45 |

| ufergus | ask away | 12:28 |
| Dazed42 | exiting ventrilo completely and then restarting it helps too | 12:28 |
| Dazed42 | it seemed like some changes werent taking effect immediately | 12:28 |
| Dazed42 | might have just been the wine ones tho | 12:28 |
| pub | Ah Dazed, I don't even IEC Capture | 12:29 |
| pub | I don't have ventrilo or wINE open, heh | 12:29 |
| LunaFreeState | I am trying to remove a program that I complied and built but I am not sure how unless I do it manually and I don't feel safe sudo mv a bunch of stuff in folders I don't understand | 12:29 |
| LunaFreeState | it is not part of a package | 12:30 |
| ufergus | LunaFreeState: did you install via apt or make install? | 12:30 |
| LunaFreeState | will apt-get work for this | 12:30 |
| LunaFreeState | make | 12:30 |
| ufergus | lots of programs you can do a make uninstall | 12:30 |
| LunaFreeState | ? | 12:30 |
| LunaFreeState | have to try that didn't think of it | 12:30 |
| ufergus | go back to your original source that you compiled | 12:30 |
| ufergus | and do make uninstall | 12:30 |
| nich^ | check the makefile too, should show you where it installed its files | 12:30 |
| zaapiel | fo really? | 12:31 |
| ufergus | next time, use checkinstall if you want to try a package | 12:31 |
| LunaFreeState | thanks | 12:31 |
| ufergus | checkinstall runs make install and wraps the files in a nice deb you can remove later | 12:31 |
| pub | Dazed42 I fixed the feedback problem, it was the Microphone with the horizontal sway bars | 12:31 |
| LunaFreeState | apt-get check didn't pull up any errors though? | 12:31 |
| LunaFreeState | deb | 12:31 |
| LunaFreeState | ? | 12:31 |
| ufergus | apt-get woudn't know anything about the package you installed | 12:32 |
| LunaFreeState | still what is a deb? | 12:32 |
| kenkku | LunaFreeState: a debian package | 12:32 |
| ufergus | its the package format for ubuntu/debian style distributinos | 12:32 |
| LunaFreeState | that way apt-get know it? | 12:32 |
| Dazed42 | sweet | 12:32 |
| ufergus | apt-get downloads and installs deb files | 12:32 |
| Dazed42 | is it all good now? | 12:33 |
| LunaFreeState | yes | 12:33 |
| dusty__ | Anyone know of a way to hide the ssh version when you telnet ip 22 ? | 12:33 |
| kenkku | checkinstall sounds great, btw | 12:33 |
| Dazed42 | what is the button i press to make compiz give me the 3d cube desktopness? | 12:33 |

| Dazed42 | all the way to left or all the way right? | 12:34 |
| pub | Oh, I'm just trying to hear it via the Sound Record on Ubuntu | 12:34 |
| pub | that's a start :) | 12:35 |
| ufergus | here is an apt-get primer that may help: http://www.linux.com/articles/40745 | 12:35 |
| Dazed42 | if you can find some line setting | 12:35 |
| Dazed42 | turn it up :D | 12:35 |
| Dazed42 | if you cant hear yourself | 12:35 |
| Dazed42 | try blowing in the mic really hard and see if you can hear that faintly | 12:35 |
| pub | Well | 12:36 |

| Drakas | Hello, I installed Ubuntu 8 just now. I have a separate partition for /home . Now, when I installed Opera, and try out (after copying the old fonts back onto the system) Opera, the fonts are reallyyyyy blurred. Same problem is with gnome-terminal, but not with Firefox. Anyone got suggestions? | 13:33 |
| dread | wols, outside | 13:33 |
| dread | from other pc | 13:33 |
| wols | dread: did you port forward port 6667/tcp to your irc server on your router? | 13:33 |
| dread | i think yes wait to check please | 13:34 |
| Dazed42 | i installed that core fonts package but it didnt fix anything automatically | 13:34 |
| Dazed42 | how do i enable it or whatever | 13:34 |
| Hew | Drakas: Where did you get Opera from? Afaik, it's not supported software. | 13:34 |
| Drakas | Hew: it's nto to do with Opera, really. I've got the same problem with gnome-terminal, font rendering is screwed up here. | 13:35 |
| Drakas | not * | 13:35 |

| bazhang | !pt | john_ | 13:35 |
| ubottu | john_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 13:35 |
| Hew | Drakas: What do you mean by "copying the old fonts back onto the system"? | 13:36 |
| SNIa | wols: I'm using ssh -X, which xlibs? hmm. | 13:36 |
| tech0007 | wols: do i need xserver-xgl? | 13:36 |
| Drakas | Hew: for example, I was using DeJavu Sans Mono font before installing this. It looked very clear before. When I go to something like a text editors, it renders them just fine, but gnome-terminal does not. | 13:37 |
| SNIa | libxcb-xlib0 | 13:37 |
| john_ | hello | 13:37 |
| Drakas | Hew: Because of the font problem, I copied /alt/usr/share/fonts/truetype/* to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ | 13:37 |

| dread | wols, 6667 is forward | 13:40 |
| john_ | when i check the dvd | 13:40 |
| john_ | integrity | 13:40 |
| wols | raw: glxinfo |grep direct | 13:40 |
| Hew | Drakas: So you had font problems on Hardy, copied the font files from Gutsy, and still have problems? | 13:41 |
| wols | dread: do you have more than one host in your LAN? | 13:41 |
| Drakas | Hew: that's right. | 13:41 |
| raw | wols, direct rendering: Yes | 13:41 |
| dread | yes but is forward on the right one | 13:41 |
| nybbj | eh i get error while deleting, error removing file: permission denied when i try to delete some folders i have created my self, any one know what to do? | 13:41 |
| wols | raw: then videodrivers should be fine | 13:41 |

| john_ | i just ask before | 13:42 |

| john_ | a problem with my dvd drive and my linux dvd | 13:43 |
| wols | john_: to an integrity check after you boot from it. | 13:43 |
| Dazed42 | umm.. whats the keyboard shortcut to paste to the terminal? | 13:44 |
| Hew | Drakas: Perhaps it's a problem with font rendering settings. System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Rendering. | 13:44 |
| Dazed42 | ctrl+v doesnt work :\ | 13:44 |
| john_ | is the frst dvd of debian | 13:44 |

| kane77 | I found a tutorial how to set up Host Interface in Virtualbox (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346185), but I cannot figure out what do I need to run command tunctl.. | 13:44 |
| raw | i think am gonna move my graphics to none :P its faster | 13:44 |
| mactimes | Dazed42: Shift+Insert should do, perhaps mouse mid button too. | 13:44 |
| Drakas | Hew: well, fonts are rendered very well in Firefox, that's the problem; I don't know how to tackle this because parts of the system work fine and parts don't | 13:45 |
| Drakas | I've got settings at full subpixel hinting (like before) and antialiasing enabled as normal | 13:45 |
| alraune | nybbj:give full path of folder to be deleted... | 13:45 |
| john_ | i have to boot dvd before ??? | 13:45 |
| Dazed42 | thanks | 13:45 |
| mactimes | john_: Is that a Ubuntu CD/DVD? | 13:46 |
| nybbj | location trash:/// | 13:46 |
| john_ | is first dvd of debian | 13:46 |
| john_ | mactimes | 13:46 |
| mactimes | john_: Check the MD5 hash | 13:46 |
| mactimes | john_: Maybe your download got corrupted. | 13:47 |
| john_ | i did md5sum -c md5sum.txt inside of debian dvd | 13:47 |
| nybbj | on permissions it says folder access create and delete files, file access --- and none on next folder access and --- so on | 13:47 |
| john_ | i have 2 drives one in master and other in slave in the same channel | 13:47 |
| john_ | that is problem? | 13:48 |
| mactimes | john_: I can't see how that could be a problem. Have you tried burning the DVD in the other "oven"? | 13:48 |
| john_ | i burning the dvd 2 times and is the same problem | 13:49 |
| Drakas | Hew: I fixed it. for Opera: http://lyncis.info/post/189/en/ | 13:49 |
| mactimes | john_: Have you tried in both your DVD drives? | 13:49 |
| wols | nybbj: ls -l <path to folder> | 13:49 |
| SNIa | wols: I found the answer to my problem | 13:49 |
| SNIa | wols: I was missing xauth :) | 13:50 |
| john_ | no in slave | 13:50 |
| john_ | drive | 13:50 |
| Drakas | all perfect. | 13:50 |
| mactimes | john_: Try in the other one. Maybe the DVD burner you tried is not good. | 13:50 |
| nybbj | well location says trash:/// and it all ust emty folders | 13:50 |
| iqson716 | I create a .deb package with "checkinstall" it possible to I use this package on another PC? | 13:50 |
| johntramp | Hey I am trying to work out how to use the `at` command, but it's not easy to search for. When I run it I get a at> prompt, how do I tell it the command is complete? | 13:51 |
| mactimes | john_: Can be a problem in the flat cable too. So many are the possibilities... | 13:51 |
| johntramp | i can ^c to get back to the bash prompt, but then atq doesn't show the job | 13:51 |
| mactimes | johntramp: Try crontab, it's easier to use. | 13:52 |
| wols | iqson716: if you are lucky | 13:52 |
| nybbj | is it some way possible to log on as an power user to force delete the folders in my trash? | 13:52 |
| wols | johntramp: it needs parameters. man at | 13:52 |
| johntramp | mactimes: even for a one-off job? | 13:52 |
| john_ | and in sha1sum check i only see error I/O not the code | 13:52 |
| wols | nybbj: emtpy the trash instead | 13:52 |
| nybbj | the folders are there still but not the files | 13:53 |
| iqson716 | wols: luck? | 13:53 |
| wols | iqson716: dependencies might be different | 13:53 |
| mactimes | johntramp: Yup, I guess it's much easier to use... | 13:53 |
| johntramp | wols: i have the time parameter, can't see any others i should need | 13:54 |
| john_ | i tried k3b and brasero | 13:54 |
| wols | johntramp: if the at> prompt shows it means you lacked the parameters. e.g. it also needs the command to run at said time | 13:54 |
| mactimes | johntramp: crontab -e | 13:54 |
| nybbj | man those folders are killing me, so how to delete them from terminal? or some root way to delete the folders from trash? | 13:55 |
| johntramp | wols: isn't the at> prompt where i put the commands to be executed? | 13:55 |
| mactimes | johntramp: Take my advice. It's much simples, doesn't need dozens of parameters... | 13:55 |
| wols | johntramp: yes or -f file | 13:55 |
| wols | try ctrl+d or such to exit at> | 13:55 |
| john_ | someone | 13:55 |
| billybigrigger | while using apt-cahce search how do i find the version of the package im searching for? | 13:56 |
| johntramp | ah ctrl+d is what i was after | 13:56 |
| johntramp | thanks | 13:56 |
| johntramp | ill still look into crontab aswell, mactimes | 13:56 |
| mactimes | billybigrigger: apt-cache search <something> | grep -i -e <filter> | 13:57 |
| nybbj | well i cant delete the empty folders in my trash so how to get rid of them? | 13:57 |
| mactimes | johntramp: crontab will give you sort of a "table". You just need to "fill in the blanks". | 13:57 |
| jokkaa | how do i install *.deb files? | 13:58 |
| mactimes | jokkaa: sudo dpkg -i <package.deb> | 13:58 |
| smmagic | jokkaa, doubleclick them? | 13:58 |
| mactimes | jokkaa: Or double click them | 13:58 |
| johntramp | iv used cron.daily etc. before | 13:58 |
| mactimes | Hahaha | 13:58 |
| jokkaa | mactimes, do i have to navigate to the folder containg it? | 13:58 |
| smmagic | mactimes, Betcha :P | 13:58 |
| jokkaa | i prefer learning through terminal:åp thx | 13:58 |
| mactimes | smmagic: Smack! | 13:59 |
| nybbj | is it any terminal command as root to delete all in the trash? | 13:59 |
| mactimes | jokkaa: Nope. You can provide relative or absolute path to the package if you wish. | 13:59 |
| mactimes | nybbj: sudo rm -rf /the/directory/you/want/to/send/to/hell | 14:00 |

| Flynsarmy | ufergus, any with a nice easy GUI? | 14:37 |
| hdevalence | SNIa: I think I'll have to check whether having VLC record a stream would be higher/lower quality than the torrent option | 14:37 |
| SNIa | anyone know of a tile horizontally, or tile vertically windows organizing app ? | 14:37 |

| XVampireX | There's a little question, not really related to ubuntu itself (Although in ubuntu) I'm not sure if it's a bug but in archive manager there's this thing where when I click on extract button and then again on extract it doesn't let me until I reopen the folder... | 14:41 |

| ompaul | sswv, turn that script off please | 14:43 |
| XVampireX | ompaul: When I try to extract a file, during the choose location dialog, I need to re-enter the directory to be able to click on extract so that it would work. | 14:44 |

| nybbj | well im new to the world of linux so i think i hang around in ubuntu for now :) | 14:52 |
| nickrud | deneme1233 fyi, dpkg -S /bin/ps told me the package you needed to reinstall (-S means find the package the file belongs to) | 14:53 |
| mikea87 | where is that file located? | 14:53 |
| ompaul | XVampireX, use the command line if you are not comfortable with the gui :-) seriously it works the way I expect | 14:53 |
| NeT_DeMoN | mikea87: its in my home folder | 14:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hi nickrud havent seen you in a while "actually havent seen you at all, dont even know how you look like" but meh you know what i mean | 14:53 |

| SNIa | Dante123: http://www.alldata.com depends on what package you want. it can be pricey | 15:09 |
| ompaul | XVampireX, I am wondering | 15:10 |
| Annoid | I have PC's here w/enet. including Gentoo, but this machine has no enet at this time so I can't use the automated install tools | 15:10 |
| tux | salve | 15:10 |
| ompaul | XVampireX, ls -l that one file and does it look right | 15:10 |
| kai` | hi. is it possible to install oracle 10g on an amd64 machine? i always get the following error will apt-get update: http://rafb.net/p/kBliiS86.html | 15:10 |
| tux | uso firefox e se vado su youtube non riesco a vedere i video... prima con ubuntu 7.10 mi chiedeva di isntallare il plugin ora no | 15:10 |
| legend2440 | Dante123: http://freshmeat.net/projects/ah3/ | 15:11 |
| XVampireX | ompaul: it's all of the files | 15:11 |
| SNIa | legend2440: nice | 15:11 |
| nickrud | Annoid if you like, http://aphroneo.net/bcm43.tar.gz , unpack that in /lib/firmware , then system->admin->hardware drivers. That tarball is what fwcutter places on your system | 15:12 |
| tux | (join #ubuntu-it | 15:12 |

| cemunal | hi | 15:13 |
| Annoid | nickrud : The requested URL /bcm43.tar.gz was not found on this server | 15:13 |
| kai` | do you know the meaning of this error message? | 15:13 |
| kai` | http://rafb.net/p/kBliiS86.html | 15:13 |
| nickrud | Annoid ack, I always do that. b43.tar.gz, sorry | 15:14 |
| XVampireX | ompaul: seems right... | 15:14 |
| Annoid | Can I get precompiled packages from http://ubuntu.cafuego.net and put them on the machine, and use the ubuntu installer tools? | 15:14 |
| hertz | any1 using intrepid as primary system? | 15:15 |
| Pantera | hi guys | 15:15 |
| td123 | hertz: they're probably too busy trying to fix their system :P | 15:15 |
| bazhang | hertz, #ubuntu+1 for that | 15:15 |
| nickrud | kai` sudo rm -r * /var/lib/apt/lists <-- where ubuntu keeps those package lists, you appear to have a bad download. Removing and redownloading normally clears that up | 15:16 |
| sarikan | hi there | 15:16 |
| sarikan | has anyone been able to install eric4 on 8.04? | 15:16 |
| nickrud | Annoid not sure what's on that site, but the source is reliable | 15:16 |
| Dante123 | legend2440 I have to have postgresql installed prior to using this right? | 15:16 |
| hertz | yea i really like the new nautilus and im thinking to upgrade on 8.10 alpha 3 | 15:16 |
| Pantera | HI ANYBODY | 15:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sarikan: whats eric4 out of curiosity | 15:17 |
| sarikan | it is a python ide :) | 15:17 |
| sarikan | actually the problem is about installing qt 4.4 | 15:17 |
| legend2440 | Dante123: yes it looks that way Ah3 uses the Qt toolkit from Trolltech. It also uses the Postgresql database, though it may be possible, with a little effort, to have it work with MySql or Sqlite. | 15:17 |
| Dante123 | anyone other than me having major problems with Audacity (and wondering when this will be fixed or an updated package available to get me past 1.3.4) | 15:17 |
| sarikan | I guess the latest is qt 4.4.2 | 15:17 |
| td123 | hertz: wait until alpha 4, 5 more days | 15:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hertz: new nautilus where give me the link | 15:17 |
| sarikan | qt and python bindings are necessary to have a nice python dev environment | 15:18 |
| Dante123 | thanks legend2440. If I wanted to test this software out....would I just use synaptic to get postgres | 15:18 |
| schone | hey al | 15:18 |
| hertz | its supports tabs and compact view and the new human theme just rocks | 15:18 |

| HoNgOuRu | please help, I cannot build a fstab file right... | 15:22 |
| XVampireX | ompaul: works fine | 15:22 |
| hertz | Pirate_Hunter: tabs in nautilus, compact file view and some applications are transparent by default | 15:22 |
| Annoid | nickrud : Hardware drivers doesn't see anything listed to add. That tarball dumped two directories in that /lib/firmware.. | 15:22 |
| jazzkutya | HoNgOuRu: use uuids in the fstab instead of device names. use blkid to get the UUIDs | 15:22 |
| nickrud | Annoid yes, the b43legacy is what your chip uses | 15:23 |
| nickrud | Annoid try sudo modprobe b43 with that dir in place | 15:23 |
| Annoid | nickrud I know, but hardware drivers browser tool doesn't see it | 15:23 |
| Mesiox | any 1 know a really good theme for ubuntu? | 15:23 |

| ompaul | XVampireX, rename both of the now open ones | 15:24 |

| XVampireX | alright | 15:25 |

| nickrud | jazzkutya I meant I had the same answer typed, almost word for word when I realized you'd already posted | 15:29 |
| Annoid | nickrud : thankee, much. working now.. I can add b43 to /etc/modules to autoload at boot time, I assume ? | 15:29 |
| jazzkutya | nickrud: ah ok now I understand 100% :) | 15:29 |
| nickrud | Annoid don't even need to do that. the kernel will recognize your chip and load it automatically now | 15:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | does icewm allow composite such as xcompmgr? | 15:30 |

| Annoid | heh. Ok, thanks. I'm used to a more command-line driven version of Linux.. Gentoo. Oh, one more thing.. is there an editor tool for what runs at various runlevels? I want to kill avahi and knocking it out of services in the GUI tool didn't stop it from starting | 15:31 |

| verynew | pirate_hunter: there is no such option. only desktop resolution | 15:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | verynew: that was in command line | 15:37 |
| neurobuntu | ompaul, could it be some firefox specific issue where it checks for a local copy of the binary? | 15:38 |

| ivanhoe | hello evryone anyone know how can i do a deadping in a wifi | 15:50 |
| felix-da-catz_zz | taimel: That's weird. I don't have that problem when I change. Look in /etc/init.d for something network related. | 15:51 |
| verynew | so, maybe somebody know how to change default screen resolution in gnome? (default, not actual) | 15:51 |
| taime1 | verynew: you must edit xorg.conf and make sure that the desired resolution is listed first in the list of resoluytions | 15:53 |
| verynew | taime: i already looked in the xorg.conf but i have almost nothing there | 15:53 |
| verynew | tespecially no resolutions | 15:53 |
| eitreach | How do I stop mediaplayerconnectivity's wizard from starting every time I open a new window in Firefox? | 15:54 |
| taime1 | that sounds weird | 15:54 |
| phr0z1 | taime1: No thats how the new xorg is with hardy | 15:55 |
| Grobvok | eitreach: Go to Tools -> Add-ons | 15:55 |
| Grobvok | eitreach: There should be some settings there. | 15:55 |
| taime1 | phr0z1: oh yeah, thats why i stopped using ubuntu | 15:55 |
| nickrud | verynew that's where you would put a preferred resolution, if you're not happy with the default gdm res | 15:55 |
| eitreach | Grobvok: aye. been there. saved my settings, but the wizard still started the next time I started Firefox. | 15:55 |
| phr0z1 | heh | 15:56 |
| yuro | i coldn't get ipod works with ubuntu. any suggestions ? | 15:56 |
| taime1 | phr0z1: still a good distro, just not for me. | 15:56 |
| yuro | please | 15:56 |
| eitreach | Grobvok: it's like I can't actually save the files. that they are just dumped whenever I quit firefox. | 15:56 |
| verynew | nickrud: like SubSection "Display" / Modes "xxx" / EndSubSection ? | 15:56 |

| RobiX | hi 2 all | 16:14 |
| RobiX | i use kubuntu and windows (dual boot) - what is better: using a external drive with NTFS or with ext3 ? | 16:14 |
| nickrud | RobiX either, ext2 is readable with the fs-driver.org windows driver | 16:15 |
| Grobvok | RobiX: Windows can't read ext3, but Ubuntu can read NFTS. | 16:15 |
| simotempler | robix: i have a 300GB drive ntfs for bothh to use | 16:15 |
| simotempler | for files etc | 16:15 |
| speedhunt3r | RobiX, you can try ext2fs for windows to read ur ext3 drivers | 16:15 |
| speedhunt3r | *drives | 16:16 |
| linxeh | RobiX: where do you primarily spend most of your time using data? Windows? | 16:16 |
| RobiX | lot of answers ;) | 16:16 |
| simotempler | ntfs is best cus ubuntu will use it no probs | 16:16 |
| nickrud | RobiX so it comes down to use case :) | 16:16 |
| linxeh | Grobvok: windows can read ext2/3 and others with suitable drivers | 16:16 |
| RobiX | linxeh: at the moment windows 80% windows | 16:16 |
| simotempler | but ext3 and windows isnt greatly supported | 16:16 |
| RobiX | linxeh: but maybe in future 100% linux (e.g. kubuntu) | 16:16 |
| linxeh | if you are primarily using ubuntu then I would use ext3 and get stuiable support in windows | 16:17 |
| linxeh | otherwise use NTFS | 16:17 |
| linxeh | RobiX: well, use NTFS then :) | 16:17 |
| simotempler | i have a 40GB divided for xp and ubuntu and then a media / file drive of 300GB for both to use for files which is ntfs | 16:17 |

| xeno99 | Hi. If I do a sudo blkid, I see that two partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 have identical UUIDs. I have one ext3 and 4 FAT32 partitions on the drive in question. The FAT partitions are labelled DISK1_1, DISK1_2 etc. Partitions labelled DISK1_1 (/dev/sda6) and DISK1_3 (/dev/sda7) have the same UUID Is this normal? I thought the UUID was supposed to be unique? Is there a way of fixing this? | 16:18 |
| Dazed | i love they way you can dock the wobbly windows to the edges and each other | 16:18 |
| Dazed | theyre like jello | 16:19 |

| RobiX | linxeh: really ntfs? isnt the ntfs-driver under linux better as the ext2fs-driver under windows ? | 16:20 |
| Rockbuddy | this is nuts | 16:20 |
| Rockbuddy | :/ | 16:20 |
| RobiX | simotempler: external drive is 100% ntfs | 16:21 |
| linxeh | RobiX: you spend 80% of your time in Windows, so yes, use NTFS. Fuse and NTFS-3G are really good in Linux now, you wont have any problems | 16:21 |
| nickrud | xeno99 I had that happen when I did a dd to copy a partition, it got carried over since the uuid is kept in the partition | 16:21 |
| Dazed | the ntfs support in linux is perfect | 16:21 |
| Volgua | I mean the linux version | 16:21 |
| linxeh | RobiX: if at some point you go 100% kubuntu you can look at reformatting as ext3, but until that time I wouldnt bother | 16:21 |

| simotempler | ya but i tried | 16:22 |
| xeno99 | nickrud, ok thanks | 16:22 |
| stemount^ | ext3 is a good file system :( | 16:22 |
| RobiX | why ":(" | 16:23 |
| RobiX | (simotempler) | 16:23 |
| linxeh | RobiX: sure, in an ideal world you'd use a fully open filesystem. but you arent using linux exclusively yet, and spend most of your time in Windows - for you it makes sense to stick with NTFS for now | 16:23 |

| Volgua | ok but how do u know | 16:29 |
| Volgua | ?? | 16:29 |
| RobiX | but i thought journaling under ext3 is better than NTFS ;( | 16:29 |
| bazhang | Volgua, your ip address has .br on it | 16:29 |
| simotempler | ya ntfs is no different really at the end of the day | 16:29 |
| nickrud | xeno99 then there is probably something odd about your disk formatting, and I am no expert on that. One time, I ended up flushing a disk completely and reformatting, since fdisk couldn't even read it properly ;( | 16:30 |

| mernil | jazzkutya: it's not really an antenna, but i know what you mean.. i just want to cut my expenses.. ;-) | 17:13 |
| joejoecircusbo1 | mernil: That completely depends on the tv-card. As the OS won't be running, it can't exactly manage the hardware at the time | 17:13 |
| Sonderblade | nickrud: i dont have any dvds | 17:13 |
| joejoecircusbo1 | mernil: Did you try it? It might just work... | 17:14 |
| jazzkutya | mernil: i guess analog tv cards do not have an rf out connector so you have to spend money on this | 17:14 |

| quatar-i1 | Why sometimes good, sometimes bad? | 17:16 |
| joejoecircusbo1 | mernil: I'd try it, and if it does work, buy a splitter (no point spending 6 hours messing with something to avoid buying a $5 adapter ;) ) | 17:17 |

| chazco | Seveas - Would like too, but need better performance (especially boot-times) | 17:21 |
| nickrud | Seveas of course, I was thinking more along the lines of different versions of software using slightly different configs. More subtle errors | 17:21 |
| chazco | Keeping it on the desktop PC though :) | 17:21 |
| underandy | joejoecircusbo1, they did recommend to use "ext" :S | 17:21 |

| nickrud | metheon what's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? That's what determines how web addresses get resolved/found | 17:22 |

| underandy | joejoecircusbo1, because its a SSD disk. | 17:23 |
| chazco | underandy - The reason ext3 is sometimes recommended to be avoided is it writes a lot (journal), which may be bad for a SSD HDD (limited writes)... Its a topic with a lot of debate behind it, so best to read up on it | 17:23 |

| HoNgOuRu | ok | 17:42 |
| Seveas | HoNgOuRu, actually, the official name is x86_64. amd64 is what it's called in debian and derivatives because they supported the architecture before the name debate was settled | 17:43 |

| bluekb | I realize this might not be the best place to ask, but I am not getting an answer anywhere else, nor can I find a newsgroup. I run ubunutu/kubuntu; I just bought an Insignia NS-BTHDST bluetooth adapter (usb) and headset. I am having trouble getting them recognized. hciconfig shows no results, but the bluetooth daemon is definitely running. | 17:55 |
| qr_ | lakis1982: try opening a terminal and typing kgrubeditor | 17:55 |

| bluekb | dexhu: I did something like sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:58 |
| lakis1982 | it gives this kgrubeditor: | 17:58 |
| dexhu | yes it was in terminal mode | 17:58 |
| ds[de] | lakis1982: are you sure it's properly installed? | 17:58 |
| chemjeff | I'm installing ubuntu on a PC that has 2 hard drives. I installed it on the second hard drive and the boot partition is the second partition of the second hard drive. The Ubuntu installer mistakenly picked the first partition as the boot partition so I had to manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. But now when I boot I only get the BusyBox screen. | 17:58 |
| bluekb | dexhu, in my case it simply resumed where it left off. | 17:58 |

| Dazed | thats okay, was just curious | 18:23 |

| sidewalk | what bittorrent clients (gui) guys recommend? | 18:23 |
| wols | mandark: find out where you downloaded the files you want to copy. where they are on disk. I cannot know that. only you can since you downloaded them | 18:23 |
| Gin | mactimes: my eth nummer increase each time it boots :( | 18:23 |
| phr0z1 | Dazed, I dont think thats possible. | 18:23 |

| bazhang | Bodsda, :) | 18:25 |
| Gin | Bodsda: a shell script to tell me that number or tell me the card name like "eth2" | 18:26 |
| Bodsda | Sonderblade, because at some point it was installed | 18:26 |

| Sonderblade | Bodsda: no | 18:27 |
| Gin | Bodsda: I can't use that in a shell script :\ | 18:27 |
| Bodsda | Sonderblade, you want this entry removed? | 18:27 |
| wols | Gin: dunno about a script but ifconfig -a tells you. the /etc/udev/rules.d/ files do so too | 18:28 |
| Bodsda | Gin, why not? | 18:28 |
| dcoy55b | \quit | 18:28 |
| LIGHTspeed | Righto. For no reason, it has switched from 1280x1024 to 800x600 resolution. Nothing I've tried has changed it back, and the logs say something about hsync being wrong. | 18:28 |
| liamkmc | why does firefox quit when watching youtube or any other video services | 18:28 |
| wols | LIGHTspeed: pastebin the Xorg.0.log and your xorg.conf | 18:28 |

| underandy | I am install ubuntu from the minimal cd, now I am on the part "software selection", what to choose there? | 18:29 |
| MrNaz | !grub | 18:30 |

| Bodsda | Seveas, purge removes user file in your home dir doesnt it? | 18:30 |
| Gin | wols: Bodsda, this is what I am trying to do. I connect to the net using ppp, but my net provider register my mac addres. Problem: every reboot my machine the eth number increase and the mac addres changes. so a solution would be: find the new eth number. then use that new ethernet name and put it in the ppp config file, then change the mac address and then try to connect. | 18:30 |
| Seveas | Bodsda, no | 18:30 |
| wols | underandy: whatever you want. you can always install more later | 18:30 |
| qr | underandy: whatever softwhere you want to have (really, this is the only workable answer that can be given to that question) | 18:30 |
| liamkmc | you can just get grub back with the live disc | 18:30 |
| wols | Gin: the solution is make udev behave instead | 18:30 |
| Bodsda | Gin, your mac address cant change, its the address of the physical machine | 18:30 |
| Sonderblade | Seveas: is there no apt-command that does that? | 18:30 |

| underandy | qr, if I choose Ubuntu-desktop, just the programs for gnome downloads? | 18:31 |
| wols | Gin: 19:31 <dpkg> If your network card keeps changing its name each time (eth0, then eth1, then eth2, etc) and you are using the forcedeth driver, then edit /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and replace the MAC address with "00:00:6c:*". | 18:31 |
| Bodsda | Gin, so fix the problem, instead of writing scripts,.,.but what do you need to know the eth# for? | 18:31 |
| devius | oh, humans out there, i need help | 18:31 |
| devius | my graphics card accelerator needs an updated driver | 18:31 |
| qr | underandy: the whole ubuntu desktop suite of programs comes with that package | 18:31 |
| MrNaz | Bodsda there's nothing stopping your driver from lying about its MAC address... most NIC drivers these days allow you to just specify what MAC address it'll tell the network it has | 18:32 |
| bazhang | devius, which card | 18:32 |
| wols | devius: what videocard or chip | 18:32 |

| qr_ | xnt: yes, because shell redirection ( > ) has your shell try to do the write, which is run as your user and does not have write access in proc, running tee with sudo means that a program running as root does the writing, and root _does_ have permission to write to proc | 18:47 |

| Bodsda | wols, oh, im not sure what to suggest next, any thoughts? | 19:00 |
| urbanmonkey | mm2000: what about the PCM? | 19:00 |

| Bodsda | wols, bad card im guessing? driver "sis" ? what is the driver name | 19:01 |
| dewman | hi | 19:02 |
| PineHead | I think it might also stem from the fact i can't ping my ip address with port 21 or 22 for some reason. the box is dmzed though | 19:02 |
| urbanmonkey | mm2000: the second bar in should be the PCM level | 19:02 |
| wols | 19:40 < wols> devius: what videocard? and what does LIBGL_VERBOSE=yes glxinfo | less say? | 19:02 |
| dewman | any one used emesene??? | 19:02 |

| wols | but that's why you need to do exactly what I ask: if you had shown what you typed I'd seen my mistake earlier | 19:14 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: I wish i could find it out.. Seriously no clue though... But ya, reinstalling ubuntu did work out..!! It suddenly started working correctly... and I scolded Linksys guys over the phone for no reason... hehehe... Said u make crap stuff... | 19:14 |
| rconan | Scorp_, wierd. are you still using the same firefox version and everything? | 19:14 |
| fyrestrtr | refefer: du --max-depth=1 -h | 19:14 |
| devius | wols: aha now there'z a difference | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: linksys make sweet gear, runs linux too as the OS | 19:14 |
| Scorp_ | Hey, can anyone gimme an idea as to what to write in front of the hard disk in /etc/fstab ?? there's some long coding that makes it run fast and efficient... | 19:14 |
| Scorp_ | rconan: Yeah... all the same... No change... | 19:15 |
| lakis1982 | do u have firefox 3 ??? | 19:15 |
| wols | Sonderblade: no. it's just a UUID, doesn't make it faster at all | 19:15 |
| devius | wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35927/ | 19:15 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: But they say we dont support linux.. That's wierd. | 19:15 |
| lakis1982 | are there any updates for firefox 3 ??? | 19:15 |
| rconan | Scorp_, having noatime or relatime is definitely worth it | 19:15 |
| Scorp_ | lakis1982: There's a beta 5 version... | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: the techies wont, they will be idiots reading from scripts | 19:15 |
| fyrestrtr | Scorp_: not sure what you are talking about, but /etc/fstab is not for making disks faster. Are you talking about the UID? | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: updates how? | 19:15 |
| Scorp_ | rconan: can you gimme ur fstab details ?? | 19:15 |
| lakis1982 | what you mean beta 5 ? | 19:15 |
| devius | aquafox: helloo aquabuddy | 19:15 |
| mactimes | refefer: du -sh | 19:15 |
| ompaul | Scorp_, take that conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, it is offtopic for here but interesting none the less | 19:15 |
| Ahadiel | lakis1982, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, if there are NO new updates, they you have the "latest" in the repos. | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: you could compile the nightly snapshot | 19:16 |
| ompaul | Scorp_, (the linksys one) | 19:16 |
| Kumorigoe | Ok, here is my problem. I can't switch the network interface to anything other than lo. | 19:16 |
| refefer | mactimes: that was easy enough, thanks! | 19:16 |
| dumples | My Update Manager window keeps freezing up any time i try to update, does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? | 19:16 |
| lakis1982 | whate latest firefox version | 19:16 |
| lakis1982 | not betaa | 19:16 |
| Scorp_ | lakis1982: Its a newer version but not really a stable release.. | 19:16 |
| Scorp_ | lakis1982: FF 3 | 19:16 |
| wols | devius: something is wrong with that glxinfo. it's supposed to show something more ;( but gz for pasting the command this time. patebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log it should show up there too. hopefully | 19:16 |
| rconan | Scorp_, i just have relatime on all my linux filesystems | 19:16 |
| mactimes | refefer: You're welcome. | 19:16 |
| wols | devius: is this hardy or an earlier version of ubuntu? | 19:16 |
| lakis1982 | firefox 3 crashes a lot | 19:16 |
| lakis1982 | i had firefox 2 with no problems | 19:17 |

| wols | eikke: 20:23 <dpkg> First: See if the package has already been backported. Ask me about <backports>. If it hasn't, 1) Add a "deb-src ..." line ONLY for sid to your sources.list. 2) apt-get update 3) apt-get install build-essential; apt-get build-dep packagename;apt-get -b source packagename; 4) install the resultant debs. If you are just wanting to change the compilation | 19:23 |

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 | 19:27 |

| sushiX | guys any idea how to name a workspace | 19:28 |

| wols | dumples: not many pros | 19:29 |
| Gnea | dumples: pro: they work. con: they're not supported. | 19:29 |

| ActionParsnip | Leefmc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277388 | 19:29 |
| rconan | dumples, you could argue that they might be more stable but i wouldn't recommend using them unless your facing a major regression | 19:29 |
| wols | devius: exact description what command you run and what the output of the command is | 19:29 |
| fyrestrtr | ds[de]: that's about as clean as it gets -- you could add --purge to apt-get remove | 19:29 |
| devius | wols: what in the world of bytes is xinerama | 19:29 |
| devius | wols: ok jus a second | 19:29 |
| Gnea | !xinerama | devius | 19:29 |

| Gnea | LinuxKitten: what volume? | 19:30 |
| Leefmc | ActionParsnip: Yea, i'm aware of that page.. it just seems a bit much. i was hoping all i needed was a specific X11 config setup. Ubuntu normally recognizes the MX Revolution does it not? It did by default on my Laptop, but not my Mac Pro | 19:30 |
| sushiX | guys any idea how to rename a workspace | 19:30 |
| LinuxKitten | on everything | 19:30 |
| fyrestrtr | LinuxKitten: turn up the master channel from the volume control. | 19:30 |
| LinuxKitten | i did | 19:30 |
| alex-weej_ | sushiX: right click the workspace switcher applet and go to preferences | 19:30 |
| Gnea | LinuxKitten: you can either keep saying vague things, or you can get into more detail. have it your way. | 19:31 |
| LinuxKitten | i did alsamixer too | 19:31 |
| arrrghhh | how can i allow all lan clients in firestarter? | 19:31 |
| ds[de] | fyrestrtr: is it safe to remove python-cairo? just asking, because a lot of packages will be removed | 19:31 |
| LinuxKitten | ok | 19:31 |
| alex-weej_ | LinuxKitten: hi | 19:31 |
| alex-weej_ | LinuxKitten: try http://answers.launchpad.net/ | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Leefmc: well do all the buttons work? | 19:31 |
| fyrestrtr | ds[de]: yes, its just bindings. | 19:32 |
| LinuxKitten | the volume is up all the way on: alsamixer the volume on the taskbar and the physical sound dial | 19:32 |
| Leefmc | ActionParsnip: Umm, no. Thats what i ment by ubuntu not recognizing the mx revolution :). Its just a normal mouse.. Left & Right buttons, no middle mouse, and it has a scroll wheel. | 19:32 |
| Grobvok | LinuxKitten: you put everything on high in alsamixer? | 19:32 |
| Leefmc | ActionParsnip: If ubuntu saw the mx revolutions buttons, i'd have no problem. | 19:32 |
| LinuxKitten | yes | 19:32 |
| LinuxKitten | but it's still quiet | 19:32 |
| Gnea | LinuxKitten: for starters: did you check the speaker connections? are you sure they're all plugged in nice and snug? are the speakers powered? if so, are they turned on? what about tone/treble/bass settings? in your alsamixer, did you only adjust the Master switch? did you try PCM? | 19:33 |

| ActionParsnip | AlexMax: try a different port | 19:40 |
| devius | crdlb: logout from my user account right | 19:40 |
| AlexMax | a different port? | 19:40 |
| AlexMax | like, hook my cable up to a different port on the router? | 19:40 |
| fyrestrtr | AlexMax: does the entire computer freeze, or just networking? | 19:40 |
| Dill823 | I am trying to access a Raid0 array on an Asus p5-e motherboard, the array was created in windows. This is what I get ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/isw_bdgddedgbc_Volume0 /mnt/hdb | 19:40 |
| Dill823 | NTFS signature is missing. | 19:40 |
| Dill823 | Failed to mount '/dev/mapper/isw_bdgddedgbc_Volume0': Invalid argument | 19:40 |
| Dill823 | The device '/dev/mapper/isw_bdgddedgbc_Volume0' doesn't have a valid NTFS. | 19:40 |
| Dill823 | Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexMax: the wire is plugged into the router in a hole called a port, try it in a different one | 19:40 |
| FloodBot2 | Dill823: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:40 |
| Dill823 | partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? | 19:40 |
| AlexMax | networking | 19:40 |
| yuro | i installed ubuntu on 1 disk without partition. if i make another partition, would that be okay ? | 19:40 |
| joetheodd | Hey guys, I'm trying to build firefox for a i386. Any pointers, or will the i686 code build against one just fine? | 19:40 |
| AlexMax | ActionParsnip: Port is ambiguous | 19:40 |
| fyrestrtr | joetheodd: what is the exact processor you are building against. | 19:41 |
| devius | crdlb: for complete removal | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexMax: well give it a go, i thought the context cleared that | 19:41 |
| devius | crdlb: ??? | 19:41 |
| devius | crdlb: ??? | 19:41 |
| joetheodd | firestrtr, intel pentium, I think. (pentium 1) | 19:42 |
| AlexMax | I'llget to that when I can. | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | joetheodd: the i686 will be fine | 19:42 |
| wols | devius: apt-get remove --purge xserver-xgl | 19:42 |
| AlexMax | dmesg | grep eth0 returns... | 19:42 |
| AlexMax | 27.226980] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/10/100 Network Connection | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | joetheodd: just install from repos to avoid issues | 19:42 |
| joetheodd | fyrestrtr, uname -a says Linux anchor 2.6.12-9-386 #1 Mon Oct 10 13:14:36 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux, so maybe i'm just dumb :P | 19:42 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: P5 is nto a 686 | 19:42 |
| Grobvok | You can't install Ubuntu without a partition. | 19:42 |
| joetheodd | ActanParsnip, thanks. :) | 19:42 |
| devius | wols: i removed it | 19:42 |
| AlexMax | So yes it is an intel card | 19:42 |
| AlexMax | just not using intel wireless | 19:42 |
| wols | devius: restart X | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: i thouugh 686 was anything above a p3 | 19:42 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: P5 = pentium 1. 2 gens before P3 | 19:43 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: and from PPRo onwards all are 686 | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: ahhh | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | oh i didnt know p5 -- p1 | 19:43 |
| yuro | grobvok,no i mean i installed ubuntuon 1 full disk, and i want to make another partition for my data (separate from system) | 19:43 |
| AlexMax | If it matters, I'm having to pass acpi=off irqpoll all_generic_ide as kernel params | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexMax: are you fully upidated? | 19:44 |
| tore | how can I filter out the postfix-entries in syslog? | 19:44 |
| AlexMax | I should be | 19:44 |
| tore | it's flooding the syslog, so the logwatch-mail I get is so big that thunderbird hangs... | 19:44 |
| yuro | so if i reinstall ubuntu, i won't wipe my data | 19:44 |
| Sonderblade | yuro: so repartition your disk | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexMax: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:44 |
| devius | wols: it says bash: restart not found | 19:44 |
| AlexMax | My ubuntu install was actually acting funny just today. I was running it with just all_generic_ide, and then all of the sudden it just stops working....by passing the other two it started working again but my network has been going down ever since then...it was fine before | 19:45 |
| yuro | SounderBlade, can do that without reinstalling ? | 19:45 |
| Sonderblade | tore: see syslog.conf you can make postfix messages to to e.g. /var/log/postfix.log | 19:45 |
| AlexMax | maybe the kernel params have something to do with it | 19:45 |
| LinuxKitten | ok | 19:45 |
| AlexMax | i've been running it with just all_generic_ide for weeks and it was fine | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexMax: sounds like a starting point dude | 19:45 |
| wols | devius: it's not something to type but DO | 19:45 |
| LinuxKitten | it IS working with external speakers | 19:45 |
| velvithammer | yeah its jack sense | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | devius: if you wanna reboot: sudo shutdown -r now | 19:45 |

| ProgenitorVirus | Hi there! Just a quick question. After updating Ubuntu, shutdown is weird, sometimes with a few lines of text then going normal, sometimes with a light blue screen with e's all over it and the cursor in the top left of the screen. Is this normal? | 19:50 |

| pjvandehaar | im using opera, and i was told to paste a code into im.css to stop joining/leaving notifications- where would i find im.css? i cant find it... | 19:51 |

| vurseth | i am brasilian! | 19:52 |
| fyrestrtr | pjvandehaar: /usr/share/opera/styles/ | 19:52 |

| XiXaQ | pyrite1978, back in the days, wine used a very liberal license. Cedega took wine, closed it and sold it. But that makes them incompatible with GPL and other such licenses, so the last few years of work on wine cannot be used. This includes the work sponsored by google to make Adobe Photoshop run in wine for instance. | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | devius: use tab completion | 20:14 |
| ompaul | PineHead, so do this, in cmd.exe ping 192.168.1.64 and tell me if you get a reply | 20:14 |

| crdlb | devius: you're trying to do dual-head now? | 20:15 |
| devius | ActionParsnip: its installed as it appears in synaptics, should i reinstall | 20:15 |
| XiXaQ | pyrite1978, CrossOver Games, on the other hand, helps wine, and gets help from wine, while focusing on games in particular. You don't pay for the software. You pay for the support and the work that they do to make new games work and work better. | 20:15 |
| ompaul | PineHead, and now ping 192.168.1.65 | 20:15 |

| neofax | FreekSh0w86: Here is what you do. Run the exe in Wine, while monitoring the wine directories temp folder. While the exe is running a folder will open in the temp directory. Copy this to /tmp in linux. Inside this folder should be your .inf file. | 21:02 |

| cedriczg | FreekSh0w86, my wireless got fixed after updating my system | 21:08 |
| lina | neofax, sudo aptitude install gcc says 1 not updated | 21:08 |
| Dazed | i would rather just minimize my windows than play cod4 | 21:08 |
| FreekSh0w86 | I already have the latest updated | 21:08 |
| neofax | Dazed: You will need to install from the ppa for svn versions with bad, ugly and such | 21:09 |

| neofax | Dazed: Apt uses a list of sources to keep your system up to date and to also install other software. In ubuntu ppa is a apt repo for not so stable software. Go to google and type in ubuntu compiz ppa and it should have info on the website how to set it up. | 21:11 |

| FreekSh0w86 | Does ndiswrapper work at all on Ubuntu 64-bit? | 21:12 |
| Dazed | sweet | 21:12 |
| neofax | lina: do sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and this will update the remaining file. | 21:12 |
| cedriczg | I think the .gconf may be the directory to change the menu items | 21:12 |
| Dazed | so this normal version of compiz doesnt accept plugins or something? | 21:12 |
| Chef_Ramsey | i cant to chef ramsey .. because i love yiu to much :-( | 21:12 |
| === Chef_Ramsey is now known as mernil | ||
| neofax | Sonderblade: A tranistion package is one that is used to move you from a old style package to the newer version. | 21:12 |
| cedriczg | howlingmadhowie, can you try to reproduce the bug/issue I have? | 21:13 |
| cedriczg | howlingmadhowie, just go to System > preferences > main menu | 21:13 |
| cedriczg | howlingmadhowie, and then create a new folder | 21:13 |
| cedriczg | howlingmadhowie, and move an icon to that folder | 21:13 |
| neofax | Dazed: It does, but like firefox 2 plugins cannot be ran in Firefox 3(don't flame, I know they can with a hack), so is compiz. | 21:13 |

| TiredWolf | Kenthree: once a version of Ubuntu is released, it's released. all that you get are security fixes and fixes to very serious bugs. otherwise, you wait for the next release, or, in certain cases, you can have (or request) a backport | 21:17 |

| ubottu | LinuxGhost: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:28 |
| cedriczg_ | Well it wouldn't mess anything. You would just get the same icon item in two folders. Then you can delete the duplicate | 21:28 |
| Blacklight | Leefmc, it updates your search database. | 21:28 |
| goat | neofax, maybe i should try install the proprietary drivers? | 21:28 |
| lina | neofax, according to that i have several gcc installed | 21:28 |
| neofax | goat: OK, you are using the radeon drivers. Go to System-->Administration-->Hardware Drivers and install the fglrx ones. | 21:29 |
| Blacklight | Leefmc, so do that first then locate nameofwidget | 21:29 |
| cedriczg_ | howlingmadhowie, I just wanted to check if it is just me | 21:29 |
| Leefmc | Blacklight: Search database of my harddrive? So updatedb indexes my HD, and locate searches that index? | 21:29 |
| Leefmc | Blacklight: Note that it did work, im just trying to understand :) | 21:29 |
| neofax | lina: Right click on them and purge them. Then reinstall. | 21:29 |
| LinuxGhost1 | ubottu,thanks | 21:29 |

| Ryan_ | Why is the server edition of Ubuntu supportedfor 2 years more than the desktop edition? | 21:29 |
| goat | neofax, nothing shows up in hardware drivers | 21:30 |
| lina | neofax, what to reinstall tho.. all of them? | 21:30 |
| cedriczg_ | Leefmc, it updates your database with the new files under the folder locate searches | 21:30 |
| howlingmadhowie | so the question is, where does gnome store its menu information? | 21:30 |
| rconan | Ryan_, because people deploying on servers can't upgrade every 3 years, it needs to remain stable | 21:30 |
| Kohlrak | what's solaris mode? | 21:30 |
| dudus | Ryan_: because servers need to stay online for a larger period, and take it offlien to update distro is a huge problem | 21:30 |
| Blacklight | Leefmc, find is a more general use of that database. | 21:30 |
| Ryan_ | Ah, okay. | 21:30 |
| willfrand__ | hi hohoh | 21:30 |
| neofax | lina: It depends on your kernel versions build gcc. Since you are trying to build the proprietary NVIDIA drivers. | 21:30 |
| Leefmc | gotcha | 21:30 |
| === c1|freaky is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||
| howlingmadhowie | cedriczg_: maybe gnome only starts to store menu information when it gets changed from the default. can you try grep-ing in your $HOME for the name of the executable for one of the changes you've made? | 21:31 |
| Blacklight | Leefmc, man locate for more info :P | 21:31 |

| howlingmadhowie | cedriczg_: just try 'grep -r <path to executable> $HOME/*' | 21:36 |
| neofax | goat: You're right. The last fglrx that supported the 9200 was 8.28.8. So radeon is the best driver for your card. However, to upgrade the resolution is to find out the h-sync and v-sync of your monitor. Then use a generic xorg.conf to achieve this. | 21:36 |
| cedriczg_ | howlingmadhowie, good idea, thanks | 21:37 |
| goat | neofax, what about tv-out? i was told it works with 9200 on ubuntu | 21:37 |

| Dada_ | Nothing can really be done with it though | 21:46 |
| lashi | but I can only get virtual consoles if I don't boot with a splash | 21:46 |

| neofax | Neku: OK, that didn't help. You will need to post your pc brand and model or mobo/video-card if home built | 22:00 |
| Blacklight | when I go into /etc/cron.daily... there is a bunch of stuff in there, are those files actually ran daily? or do I need to do something? | 22:00 |

| ParaDoX34690 | Can any recommend a good, multi-purpose media application with functionality similar to that of WinAMP?? | 22:00 |
| yuro | Unop, please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/35985/ i got this if i play video files | 22:01 |
| Blacklight | ParaDoX34690, audacious | 22:01 |
| AzulFin | ParaDoX34690, have you tried xmms | 22:01 |
| neofax | Blacklight: Yes, they are ran daily if the file exists. | 22:01 |
| johncoltrane | I just loaded up one of the example .h2song and when I hit play it's all out of sync | 22:01 |
| rconan | AzulFin, i wouldn't be recommending xmms to anyone | 22:01 |
| Neku | neofax: its not a home built on the side it says systemax on windows i think it said it was a plug n play graphics card somethin like tht | 22:01 |
| neofax | ParaDoX34690: Amarok | 22:01 |
| neofax | Neku: Systemax what? Viper, Titan??? | 22:01 |
| Blacklight | !xmms | AzulFin | 22:02 |
| ubottu | AzulFin: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. | 22:02 |

| ParaDoX34690 | Blacklight & AzulFin: I've heard of both, never tried either. What I'm looking for is something capable of listening to streams with bookmarking functionality, and I suppose just MP3's... I'm sure I can find other apps for my other stuff... | 22:02 |

| yuro | Unop, the strange thing is, that happens on every video player i got. not just vlc | 22:03 |

| Neku | neofax: sorry it just say systemax on the front cant find anything else | 22:04 |
| neofax | ParaDoX34690: If you mean bookmarking of IceCast or Shoutcast streams, use Amarok. | 22:04 |

| simotempler_ | anyone any idea bout that | 22:07 |
| Neku | rconan: whn i try to enable desktop effects it wont and in drivers in admin it wont show any drivers | 22:07 |
| yuro | rkpisanu, if u use a usb modem, then u will face the same problem (firefox working offline) | 22:07 |
| neofax | Neku: You will need to break open the box then and look at the chipsets, but may have a problem as it will probably have a heatsink or fan on it. You could see if you have the books for the pc. | 22:07 |
| goat | neofax, what must i set the sync values to in xorg.conf to allow 1024x768? | 22:07 |
| rconan | ParaDoX34690, you might want to look at ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:07 |
| rconan | Neku, can you pastebin the output of lspci? | 22:08 |
| rkpisanu | so yuro ? | 22:08 |
| neofax | Neku: You can also try the bios when the computer starts. Write down the bios numbers and you may be able to ferret it out. | 22:08 |
| ParaDoX34690 | rconan: I'll check it out, thanks. | 22:08 |

| lWizardl | anyone here run a small business with a Ubuntu Desktop? | 22:08 |
| bazz | i have a pdf which is a form i'd like to fill out. it doesn't have editable form fields, and the text is encrypted. is there a tool i can use to just write text onto the form (i'll line it up) and then save/export that as a pdf? | 22:09 |
| Neku | neofax: what if i go onto windows try tht run command and come back wi results of it? | 22:09 |
| rconan | Neku, run lspci in a terminal and pastebin the output so I can see what graphics card you're using | 22:09 |
| neofax | goat: Find out the brand and model of your monitor then set the hsync and vrefresh of your monitor in xorg.conf. I am not that good with generating my own modelines. | 22:09 |
| bruno_br | alguem fala portugues preciso de ajuda | 22:09 |

| goat | xPhilosx, where am i going to find info on an extremely old monitor? | 22:11 |
| xPhilosx | goat, in order for my monitor to work at all I had to disable EDID in xorg and change the sync values | 22:11 |
| Neku | rconan: http://www.pastecode.org/2494 | 22:11 |
| grout | goat: craigslist | 22:11 |
| xPhilosx | goat, I have a really old CRT, i just typed in the model number and vsync into google | 22:11 |
| Ikarius | it appears cpufrequtils can do on demand frequency scaling, but I'm curious about using a combo of demand + temp | 22:11 |
| neofax | RunningUtes: Sorry for the late reply. Many programs have a repo that you can install them from. Check out GetDeb(be careful as some debs are checkinstall ones that are crap) and google for the program and ppa. i.e. java ppa | 22:11 |
| xPhilosx | goat, eg, mx704 vsync | 22:11 |
| xPhilosx | quick question, I have Ubuntu 8.04 and the latest NVIDIA drivers 173.14.12 have consistently messed up xserver and caused several issues, but the repo drivers are way out of date. Does anyone know what the latest stable version is that works with Ubuntu 8.04 x64? | 22:12 |
| jonah | how do i empty the trash bin of the root account? | 22:12 |
| rconan | Neku, that's a fairly old graphics chip. it might not support graphics acceleration | 22:12 |
| goat | xPhilosx, i dont even think this thing has a model number, its a ADI ProVista - i cant look at the back because if i move the monitor away from the wall the vga cable will break inside for good | 22:12 |
| Neku | rconan: balls | 22:12 |
| lWizardl | bazz, you could always load the jpg images into openoffice writer and then export as a pdf | 22:12 |
| xPhilosx | well, you can always search for ADI ProVista then | 22:13 |
| rconan | Neku, can you do a "glxinfo | grep direct" | 22:13 |
| ParaDoX34690 | okay, slightly more important question: I'm dual booting on a Alienware with XP Pro and Ubuntu. I have a 2nd drive that I have folders that MUST be shared off for my network (and I still have to install my linux version of filezilla server for my FTP)... How do I grant myself rights to share? | 22:13 |
| neofax | goat: So, google is your friend. Also, if it came with a windows install disc the hsync and vrefresh will be in the inf file. | 22:13 |
| Neku | rconan: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 22:13 |
| Neku | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect | 22:13 |
| goat | neofax, err, the monitor came with a windows install disk? it probably came with a dos floppy? :S | 22:14 |
| tacosteve | anyone ever had a problem with not being able to switch workspaces??? | 22:14 |
| rconan | Neku, as i suspected, direct rendering is off, which either means you have no hardware for it or the drivers are bad | 22:14 |
| bazz | lWizardl: hrmm, yeah, i'll give it a shot. thanks :) | 22:14 |
| qr_ | ParaDoX34690: I presume you want to share with windows machines? You need to use samba to do that. If you want to share with other linux machines you should use NFS. | 22:14 |

| goat | neofax, gonna restart x brb | 22:27 |
| qr_ | mizipzor: a .so file is like a .dll file from windows, .a is a static library. | 22:27 |

| nybbj | how to get dashboard for Ubuntu linux 8.04? or what one is the best? or where to start? | 22:28 |
| Billll | I have a 128 ram computer wanting to isntall xubuntu on it | 22:28 |
| Billll | question is do I want to isntall the alternate CD version or not? | 22:28 |
| qr_ | Billll: you do, the live CD requires more ram than that | 22:28 |
| centrex | mizipzor, depending on the type of libraries you can have all. .a means archive, .so means shared object. They are different ways of implementing libraries for performance, etc... read up on the difference between shared objects and archives | 22:28 |
| bryceismad1 | I cant install ubuntu on my dell laptop Ineed some help can anyone help me | 22:28 |

| bryceismad1 | I will find som eone else | 22:30 |
| mizipzor | problem now is, g++ cant seem to find the library files | 22:30 |
| Billll | goat | 22:30 |
| goat | Billll | 22:30 |
| neofax | goat: TV's can only support 800x600. You will need to change from clone to something else. | 22:30 |
| Billll | goat: you from ascent? | 22:30 |
| goat | Billll, no | 22:30 |
| Billll | n/m | 22:30 |
| unop | jonah, does ls still list them? | 22:30 |
| qr_ | mizipzor: you can use -L to provide linker search paths to g++ | 22:30 |
| goat | neofax, it isnt on clone | 22:30 |
| goat | neofax, also, when the tv was on the display was quite blurry | 22:31 |
| bryceismad1 | ok anyone that knows I put the ubuntu cd in and it gets to the boot menu I tell it to go to live cd but it doesnt then it says /casper/vmlinuz why is that | 22:31 |
| goat | how can i get it back on? :/ | 22:31 |
| josh43 | neofax, TV's don't support 800x600, the graphics card is almost always automatically scaling to the native ntsc resolution (648 x 486) | 22:31 |
| neofax | goat: Follow the gentoo HOW-TO and it tells you how to set the tv to one resolution and the monitor to another. | 22:31 |
| Neku | neofax: can u help my emerald theme manager wont change themes | 22:31 |
| evgeny | hi wats the command to install compiz | 22:31 |
| josh43 | goat; is it a standard tv, or HD? | 22:31 |

| mevaum | ? | 22:31 |
| goat | josh43, i set the tv-out to PAL in xorg conf | 22:32 |
| neofax | josh43: True, but in xorg you set the tvout to 800x600 | 22:32 |
| goat | josh43, standard | 22:32 |
| bryceismad1 | neofax can you help me out here | 22:32 |
| inspyre | mevaum: sudo apt-get remove programname | 22:32 |
| Brandano | Good evening everyone | 22:32 |
| mevaum | tkz | 22:32 |
| josh43 | goat, Then it's always going to be pretty blurry; pal is a bit better at 720 x 486, but it's not crisp by any means | 22:32 |
| goat | gonna restart x brb quick... | 22:32 |
| alsadi | what does "sudo apt-get autoclean" do ? | 22:32 |
| mizipzor | qr_: yea, i tried that... my linker flags now reads: -L/usr/lib -libphysfs | 22:33 |
| Brandano | Does somebody have a magic recipe to get sound working in WinE? | 22:33 |
| neofax | bryceismad1: Does it halt after the /casper/vmlinuz? | 22:33 |
| josh43 | alsadi, cleans out what it thinks you don't need (save hd space) | 22:33 |
| Neku | neofax: can u help my emerald theme manager wont change themes | 22:33 |
| alsadi | josh43: cache for example | 22:33 |
| neofax | Neku: What emerald theme are you trying to use? | 22:33 |
| bryceismad1 | yeah I cant get it to load up live cd or install | 22:33 |
| mizipzor | qr_: but the compiler says: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -libphysfs ... does that mean its looking in that directory? cause thats wrong... i think | 22:33 |
| liamkmc | evgeny: compiz or compiz fusion? | 22:33 |
| slightglitch | I got hit with this weird error trying to load up my 8.04 the other night, and no idea of what it is- someone willing to take a look and speculate? http://pastebin.com/m61bbefb4 | 22:33 |
| alsadi | Brandano: use pulse | 22:33 |
| qr_ | mizipzor: change -libphysfs to -lphysfs, you're using the -l option and you don't put the lib prefix in the link command | 22:33 |
| neofax | Neku: Also, are you using emerald as your window manager or metacity? | 22:33 |
| Brandano | alsadi: well, I am using pulse, but WinE doesn't want to lpay nice with it | 22:34 |
| mizipzor | qr_: ah! thanks, ill try it | 22:34 |
| Neku | neofax : LM_glossy and i dont know | 22:34 |
| neofax | bryceismad1: Does the md5 hash match the iso? | 22:34 |
| josh43 | alsadi, Yes, cache, exactly | 22:34 |
| alsadi | I meant tell wine to use pulse | 22:34 |
| Brandano | and I get no ESD mixing either, which is a bit odd | 22:34 |
| unop | mizipzor, do you have the libphysfs-dev package installed? | 22:34 |
| droopsta15 | yes!, got my 8.04 upgraded ok........ | 22:34 |
| bryceismad1 | I dont know what that means | 22:34 |
| alsadi | josh43: thanks | 22:34 |
| Billll | qr: if I isntall desktop CD verses aleternate CD, once isntall will not both OS's use same ammount of ram? | 22:34 |
| Brandano | alsadi: using padsp? | 22:34 |
| mizipzor | unop: yes | 22:34 |
| droopsta15 | unop i solved the sign in prob from yesterday thanx for the help. | 22:34 |
| mizipzor | qr_: it worked :) but upon running the example program i got a SIGSEGV... hehe | 22:35 |
| unop | droopsta15, which one was that? | 22:35 |
| inspyre | slightglitch: are you using ntfs as your file system? | 22:35 |
| alsadi | Brandano: from wine configuration in the menus | 22:35 |

| liamkmc | how do i uninstall flash 9? | 22:35 |
| qr_ | Billll: probably. I'd suggest using the server install for a really old machine. You can install a very barebones system with no gui with the server cd which should run nicely. | 22:35 |
| mrglinux | my host is windows and in network my lunx has internet and it disconnect without any reason .. and even i try i can not successed .. also i change my guest from linux to windows and internet shareing works but when i change to ubuntu again didn't work .. i try dhcp and static ip but im sure the problem is form linux but i dont know how to find it | 22:35 |
| neofax | Neku: sudo apt-get install fusion-icon | 22:35 |
| unop | josh43, try using amixer | 22:35 |
| Gnea | josh43: yes. | 22:35 |
| Brandano | alsadi: I miss that option, though. Let me check my WinE version | 22:35 |
| slightglitch | inspyre: Yes....I installed it from Windows. | 22:35 |
| droopsta15 | i was entering the username and password but could not signin the regular mode, had to use the failsafe mode. | 22:35 |
| josh43 | unop, in hardy, there is no amixer | 22:35 |
| Brandano | 1.1.2. I thought that would be recent enough? | 22:35 |
| josh43 | unop, oh.. I spoke too soon.. | 22:36 |
| neofax | bryceismad1: Where did you get the CD? Did you download it and burn it? Magazine? Ubuntu Ship-It? | 22:36 |
| unop | !info amixer | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Package amixer does not exist in hardy | 22:36 |
| Billll | alright | 22:36 |
| droopsta15 | ta go, | 22:36 |
| ali__ | neofax: not sure if i have metacity installed if thts wht u mean | 22:36 |
| Billll | thank you | 22:36 |
| unop | josh43, if you have alsa-utils installed, you ought to have amixer available | 22:36 |
| neofax | ali__: We will find out using the fusion icon once it is installed. | 22:36 |
| goat | josh43 / neofax : now i set the tv to 800x600 in xorg config but now my vga monitor is limited to 800x600 and below again :( | 22:37 |
| Brandano | in IL2 1946 I do get sound, but the volume is extremely low and I don't seem to have a way to control it | 22:37 |
| Gnea | josh43: try alsamixer | 22:37 |
| ali__ | neofax so do i go install metacity? | 22:37 |
| droopsta15 | . | 22:37 |
| Brandano | in Oblivion I get sound bursts every now andf then, but no actual reliable sound | 22:37 |
| _gAri- | hi there, can you please help me out where can I find the ubuntu specific kernel patch in peaces that is applied to the vanilla kernel? I mean I only want to use parts of it, not totally | 22:37 |
| droopsta15 | gfd. | 22:37 |
| josh43 | unop; Yeah, I do have that.. it wasn't working from irexec, so I assumed I did not have it.. I'm diving into rtfm mode :) | 22:37 |
| p2p | hi | 22:37 |
| neofax | goat: You should have two display sections in your xorg.conf. One for the TV and one for the monitor. Each with their own seperate resolutions. | 22:37 |
| inspyre | slightglitch: i dont think using ntfs in linux makes sense | 22:37 |
| neofax | ali__: No, just install fusion-icon and then start it. | 22:38 |

| ubottu | inspyre: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:38 |
| qr_ | inspyre: don't use nfts as your main filesystem in linux | 22:38 |
| josh43 | unop- it looks like you got me on the right track, thank you very much :) | 22:39 |

| jman888 | how do i install cnr in Hardy? | 22:39 |
| mrglinux | but no internet in linux | 22:39 |
| slightglitch | No, not really....I just did the windows install to see if I could make it work right. Works, and like I said, worked great, then that was all she wrote. | 22:39 |
| rambo3 | !lamp | knowcow | 22:39 |
| ubottu | knowcow: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 22:39 |
| unop | josh43, sorry, i meant /usr/bin/alsamixer there .. my bad | 22:39 |
| Gnea | jman888: what is cnr? | 22:39 |
| mrglinux | all of things set and try like static ip- getway - DNS ... | 22:39 |
| mrglinux | in linux | 22:39 |
| ali__ | neofax : followed guide to install fusion icon but i dnot think i see anything | 22:40 |
| mrglinux | but there is no internet | 22:40 |
| jman888 | @ Gnea CNR Click n run Linspire | 22:40 |
| mrglinux | some config done in windows and internet shared | 22:40 |
| qr_ | mrglinux: if you run route -n do you have an entry "default"? | 22:40 |
| alsadi | howto use the latest pidgin with apt-get magic, is it "apt-get upgrade pidgin" ? | 22:40 |
| neofax | Gnea: It is a dumbed down program installer brought about by Linspire. | 22:40 |
| inspyre | slightglitch: i think most people would agree not to use ntfs as the root filesystem | 22:40 |
| Gnea | neofax, jman888: we don't support anything other than synaptic. | 22:40 |
| neofax | ali__: It should be under System Tools in the menu. | 22:41 |
| goat | neofax, this is how my xorg config is, please tell me where to set the my monitor display? http://pastebin.com/m6d675ff1 | 22:41 |
| jman888 | k then | 22:41 |
| ali__ | neofax : found it now what? | 22:41 |
| slightglitch | inspyre: so would be best to go through and pull a manual install? That shouldn't be a problem...just time consuming. :) | 22:41 |
| mrglinux | qr_: no in route -n but in rout without any option i can see that | 22:41 |

| tunys | he wasn't doing anything wrong, his client just went crazy | 22:42 |
| unop | tunys, take it up in #ubuntu-ops | 22:42 |
| neofax | goat: You should have a second monitor and second screen section. | 22:42 |
| qr_ | mrglinux: sorry, it shows up as 0.0.0.0 in route -n, the second entry on that line should be your router ip. | 22:43 |
| tunys | unop: okay | 22:43 |
| ali__ | neofax : done that now nothing has a close cross lol | 22:43 |
| goat | neofax, i dont :/ | 22:43 |
| Gnea | jman888: what sort of programs are you looking for from the cnr? | 22:43 |
| lina | neofax, got a new problem :( can't set the graphic to a higher resolution then 640x480 | 22:43 |
| JonnyD | does apt-get apache2 on ubuntu also install php? | 22:44 |
| mrglinux | qr_: yes i see 0.0.0.0 and Gateway may router ip | 22:44 |
| jman888 | @Gnea Dont know Just like the convienence. Plus most of my family is bad at linux | 22:44 |
| neofax | ali__: Right click on the icon in the system tray and set emerald as the window decorator. | 22:44 |
| infinitycircuit | JonnyD, it installs: apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-common on hardy | 22:44 |
| prince_jammys | what's the recommended file system type to use when sharing a partition between a dual-boot Windows and Linux? vfat, ntfs, or something else? | 22:45 |
| ali__ | neofax : kk done | 22:45 |
| qr_ | mrglinux: hrm, well I don't know what's wrong then. A misconfigured gateway is a pretty common reason for the symptoms you discribed, but it appears that yours is fine. | 22:45 |
| alsadi | hello, where is my answer, how to update a specific package | 22:45 |
| JonnyD | ok thx infintycircuit | 22:45 |
| neofax | lina: Make sure you have your correct HorizSync and VertRefresh for your monitor and the correct resolution in xorg.conf. | 22:45 |
| alsadi | howto use the latest pidgin with apt-get magic, is it "apt-get upgrade pidgin" ? | 22:45 |
| infinitycircuit | prince_jammys, it depends. vfat, or ntfs with ntfs-3g, or ext2 with the ext drivers for win | 22:45 |
| infinitycircuit | alsadi, apt-get install pidgin will upgrade it | 22:45 |
| Gnea | jman888: what's wrong with synaptic? | 22:45 |
| alsadi | thanks | 22:45 |
| goat | neofax, i cant find anything with info on making a second monitor and screen config for tv-out | 22:46 |
| unop | prince_jammys, depends on whether you want to keep permissions and other metadata intact .. in which case ext2/3 | 22:46 |
| prince_jammys | infinitycircuit: i currectly have vfat. are there known complications to using ntfs? (i do have ntfs-3g) the partition has to be easily read-writable from either OS | 22:46 |
| jman888 | @Gnea They have no clue about it, and used to use CNR when we had linspire. | 22:46 |
| mrglinux | qr_: at first about 2 hours ago with this config internet exist in linux but disconnect without any reason and switch to windows in this pc and same config and internet exists but when i change to linux there is no any connection | 22:46 |
| infinitycircuit | prince_jammys, i don't know i don't have any windows installs not in vbox nowadays | 22:47 |
| Gnea | jman888: well, surely they realize that from migrating from one distro to another is going to require change in more ways than one. | 22:47 |
| qr_ | mrglinux: Hmm, I don't know, it might be a driver problem. | 22:47 |
| prince_jammys | unop: i don't care much about that, though the ability to recover deleted files from my current vfat bugs me | 22:47 |
| prince_jammys | unop: i should probably go with ext2/ext3. are there known difficulties? | 22:48 |
| unop | prince_jammys, i'd say ext3 then.. i'm not sure how recovery works with the ntfs-3g driver and i suspect it isn't very good either - though i prefer to keep ntfs-3g for removable media, as i don't have the rights to install the extX driver on window machines sometimes | 22:49 |
| jman888 | @gnea i doubt they even realize its not linspire they mostly just use firefox. So dont mess around much. | 22:49 |
| unop | prince_jammys, none that i know of (yet) | 22:49 |

| === lore20 is now known as fluxbox | ||

| neofax | goat: Try this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Separate_x-screens_on_Monitor_and_TV | 22:49 |
| unop | KenBW2, the latter maintains a journal | 22:49 |
| prince_jammys | unop: i mean i don't want deleted files to be easily recoverable, like they are in vfat | 22:49 |
| infinitycircuit | KenBW2, ext3 is a journaling filesystem | 22:49 |
| KenBW2 | unop, infinitycircuit: eh? | 22:49 |
| Gnea | jman888: automatix turned out to be a flop. however... http://phorolinux.com/how-to-use-cnr-service-on-ubuntu.html | 22:50 |
| prince_jammys | unop: so i install a driver in windows and that's it? gparted can do the conversion, right? | 22:50 |
| unop | prince_jammys, yep, that's pretty much it | 22:50 |

| jman888 | @gnea Thanks | 22:51 |
| unop | KenBW2, a journal is a log of every action taken on the filesystem .. so if you want to recover or undelete a file, you can replay the journal | 22:51 |
| qr_ | prince_jammys: have you considered using an encrypted filesystem if you're worried about file recovery | 22:51 |
| alsadi | KenBW2: it means that it heals faster and more reliable | 22:51 |
| prince_jammys | qr_: briefly :) haven't looked into it, though. | 22:51 |

| unop | prince_jammys, I'd just google actually .. had the page bookmarked somewhere, can't find it now | 22:52 |
| qr_ | prince_jammys: well it would probably be a good place to look. You could try truecrypt which provides full disc encryption for windows and linux. | 22:52 |
| neofax | Gnea: Automatix did not turn out to be a flop. The developers moved on to other endeavours. As a matter of fact Automatix forced Ubuntu to do a better job at building the system. Also, I think it spawned Mint which is a better version of Ubuntu for ease of use. | 22:52 |
| unop | KenBW2, well, not really -- the "timemachine" works quite differently | 22:52 |
| prince_jammys | qr_: thanks, i'll look into that | 22:53 |
| KenBW2 | unop: but the functionality/faacility is technicaally there? | 22:53 |
| neofax | lina: Google for hsync and the brand/model | 22:53 |
| qr_ | prince_jammys: it's actually lower level filesystem encryption. meaning you can use whatever FS you want on top of it and your data is unrecoverable unless someone has the volume password. | 22:53 |
| neofax | a: You will need to start the program again. | 22:53 |
| acidx | KenBW2, no. what time machine does is backup. a journaling filesystem makes filesystem recovery faster, since fs-checking utilities don't need to traverse all the disk to find inconsistencies: it just needs to read the journal. | 22:54 |
| josh43 | neofax, It at least got across the point that we should have 100% free, and then "easily usable" versions :) | 22:54 |
| neofax | goat: Yes, you will need to create double screens, moitors | 22:54 |
| a | neofax i did i restarted pc awell but the icon that should show at top right isnt | 22:54 |
| goat | neofax, doing so now... | 22:54 |
| KenBW2 | acidx: so the journal is a list of changes to the hard drive? | 22:54 |
| neofax | josh43: The only bad thing automatix had was the compiling from source bit as it does not inform apt | 22:55 |
| unop | KenBW2, no, the time-machine kind of maintains revisions to files .. a journal only maintains changes to the filesystem - older changes are discarded when not needed anymore | 22:55 |
| Gnea | neofax: Automatix was not the sole reason for Ubuntu to get better. | 22:55 |
| cocoa117 | i am running a amd64 distribution of ubuntu hardy server, how do i install package that is for 32bit with apt-get? | 22:55 |
| acidx | kenbw2: in essence, yes. just before the hard drive is changed, an entry is created in the journal. then the change occurs as normal. when the changes are finished, another entry says that it's finished. | 22:55 |
| neofax | a: Then restart it and if you want it every time, have it autostart in GNOME. I do not know how to do this, as I am a KDE user. | 22:55 |
| KenBW2 | unop, acidx: so it keeps a log of the last change made to a file? | 22:55 |
| striker_ | hi guys | 22:56 |

| JonnyD | Guys how can I fish this? http://pastebin.com/d58c7f8c1 | 22:56 |
| JonnyD | *fix | 22:56 |
| unop | KenBW2, right .. though the exact mechanism of the journal depends on the filesystem .. different filesystems do it differently | 22:56 |
| striker_ | i need help installing drivers , etc... | 22:56 |
| acidx | kenbw2: so, in the event of a power failure, for example, filesystem checking utilities will ignore the changes without an "acknowledge" journal entry. | 22:56 |
| neofax | Gnea: I know, but it was a contributor. | 22:56 |

| mercutio22 | hello guys | 22:56 |
| unop | !automatix | 22:57 |
| ubottu | Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » | 22:57 |
| Gnea | neofax: and yes, automatix was a flop *because* the developers moved on and left it on the side of the road. | 22:57 |
| mercutio22 | something is delaying my login time | 22:57 |
| KenBW2 | unop, acidx; so how does that not double the HD space taken up? | 22:57 |
| striker_ | what? | 22:57 |
| unop | KenBW2, because only the differences are logged, not copies | 22:57 |
| infinitycircuit | striker_, you need to fix your locales. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales or if that fails sudo apt-get install locales | 22:57 |
| neofax | Gnea: How about all the programs that people use that are not developed now? Are they flops? | 22:58 |
| atha | hi, ive just installed compiz but it doenst suite very well.... how do i remove it? | 22:58 |
| Gnea | neofax: such as? | 22:58 |
| acidx | KenBW2, journals takes space, yes, but it is usually worth it. it's not much, actually: it's not the data, just some information like the current time, the status (finished), which file, etc, so it's quite compact. | 22:58 |
| KenBW2 | unop: oh, so as a basic example if i had file.txt, with the contents "abc", then changed it to "abcd" the journal would only log the "d"? | 22:58 |
| goat | neofax, restarting x now, holding thumbs... | 22:58 |
| mercutio22 | Ok, some more info: If I create another user, it logs in 20 s earlier | 22:58 |

| unop | KenBW2, yea, something like that | 22:58 |
| alsadi | KenBW2: no not in that sense, it just keep sufficient information to make filesystem check faster and makes the file system always consistent even if the power failure was in the middle of some intermediate operation | 22:58 |
| Gnea | neofax: seriously, this is an offtopic discussion, either cut it off now or let's take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:58 |

| ubottu | neofax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:00 |
| infinitycircuit | JonnyD, i already told you. something is wrong with your locales. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales or sudo apt-get install locales | 23:00 |
| infinitycircuit | make sure one is selected | 23:00 |
| JonnyD | neither of those worked | 23:00 |

| Vixus | qr_: What do I need to check for? | 23:03 |
| KenBW2 | acidx, unop: so when the power fails and it checks the file system its basically reading the journal aand checking for non-affirmed changes? | 23:03 |
| Brandano | I mean, Comical is the name | 23:03 |

| qr_ | Vixus: a file with php in the name. Also check /etc/apache2/mods-available . The apache paradigm is that available modules have config files in mods-available and you turn them on by creating links to them in mods-enabled. | 23:04 |

| Jibs | how do you do so? cedric? | 23:29 |
| h_ | does any one know how to install a 32bits application(not an open source one) on an amd64? | 23:29 |
| cedric__ | Jibs, open the folder with nautilus (places > home dir) | 23:30 |

| JonnyD | whats the command to reboot? | 23:30 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> I extracted | 23:30 |
| qr_ | JonnyD: reboot | 23:30 |
| cedric__ | or you can double click and see the components | 23:30 |
| Smegzor1 | I have two panels on my gnome desktop and I've been getting a lot of errors after login when the desktop is setting up saying it can't load several random things in my panels. It asks me if I want to delete them from the panels or not. Whats going on with that? Is it a fault in gnome or could the apps in my panels be buggy some how? The latest victim is firefox. | 23:30 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> then ? | 23:30 |
| Kaz___ | are there any application firewalls for ubuntu? (ie ZoneAlarm, Sygate, LittleSnitch (mac) like *application* firewalls) | 23:30 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> The program is Brutus | 23:30 |
| KenBW2 | JonnyD: sudo shutdown -r now | 23:30 |
| === _spiderz is now known as spiderz | ||
| sun01tech | how can i encrypt specific folders like where evolution keeps my emails | 23:30 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, try to look to any readme file | 23:30 |
| KenBW2 | JonnyD: or sudo shutdown -R now - i caant remember | 23:31 |
| JonnyD | got it :D | 23:31 |
| JonnyD | [23:30:39] <qr_> JonnyD: reboot < makes sense :P | 23:31 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, you may need to open a terminal and run .configure | 23:31 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, just let your panel delete them, then re-add them. | 23:31 |
| wh00mp | sun01tech; truecrypt? | 23:31 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, and then make install | 23:31 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> ok let me try this moment | 23:31 |
| Jibs | I know that you must install a certain program to play games on ubuntu, does this affect RAM? | 23:31 |
| h_ | does any one know how to install a 32bits application(not an open source one) on an amd64? | 23:31 |
| Smegzor1 | johnny_ any idea what the problem is? | 23:31 |
| wh00mp | h_; virtual box? | 23:32 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, remember the first time you do configure you may find you need to install some extra dev libraries | 23:32 |
| KenBW2 | Jibs: are you referring to wine? | 23:32 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, what program are you tring to install? | 23:32 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> Brutus | 23:32 |
| h_ | whOOmp_; virtual what? | 23:32 |
| wh00mp | what is the best program for usenet for ubuntu? | 23:32 |
| h_ | i didn't get what you mean by virtual box | 23:32 |
| wh00mp | h_; virutal box it is built into ubuntu | 23:32 |
| cedric__ | can't you find that program within synaptic? | 23:32 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, can't you find that program within synaptic? | 23:33 |
| wh00mp | h_; goto applications then system tools and it should be there | 23:33 |
| h_ | don't think so | 23:33 |
| xbabe | hola, quiero asociar una ip a una direccion web sin que busque en los dns ¿como lo puedo hacer? | 23:33 |
| xhunter | brutus-server-1.0.0.tar.bz2 | 23:33 |
| xhunter | cedric__ : brutus-server-1.0.0.tar.bz2 | 23:33 |
| h_ | ok | 23:33 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, no idea | 23:33 |
| === Kamek8 is now known as cup_holder | ||
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, its what has fixed it before though. | 23:33 |
| KenBW2 | Jibs: i think because its not an emulator its not very resource hungry | 23:33 |
| Billll | http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7540282.stm <--- hell froze over D: | 23:33 |
| Jibs | Ok, with wine, does it draw from processor? ram? or etc? | 23:33 |
| wh00mp | h_; virutal box lets you emulate other OS within ubuntu like running windows xp on a diffrent screen in ubuntu | 23:33 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, I mean to try to look for the program within the repositories | 23:33 |
| sun01tech | no truecrypt wont work cause ubuntu needs to access it automatically | 23:33 |
| Smegzor1 | i've done that several times but they keep crashing | 23:33 |
| h_ | like wine? | 23:34 |
| Smegzor1 | its not constant though. | 23:34 |
| KenBW2 | Jibs: i used to run a couple of programs with wine and never saw nything *too* bad | 23:34 |
| wh00mp | h_; never used wine | 23:34 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, indeed. | 23:34 |
| wh00mp | h_; more like VMware | 23:34 |
| h_ | it's a windows emulator | 23:34 |
| Jibs | ok cool | 23:34 |
| wh00mp | h_; it emulates all OS | 23:34 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> I'm a little newbie in installing things like that can you connect to my ssh account ? | 23:34 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, I couldn't find it in the repositories. So keep on trying to install using the tar.gz | 23:34 |
| qr_ | h_: wine is not a windows emulator | 23:35 |
| h_ | that sound cool, but i need to use the application in my own OS | 23:35 |
| johnny__ | wine is an application layer... | 23:35 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> Brutus is a password bruteforcer | 23:35 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, are you sure you want me to do so? Better try yourself first | 23:35 |
| Smegzor1 | I do have another error at login which might be related to this. Its quite long so I'll pastebin it.. | 23:35 |
| h_ | ah ok thanks for the information | 23:35 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> ok wait a sec | 23:35 |
| naxa | every time i open an image and wants to save as it whit eye of gnome, the same but seemingly non-default directory opens. how can i make eye of gnome remember the last directory? or is it possible that my config files are write protected? | 23:35 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, yeah good idea. | 23:35 |
| cedric__ | check this | 23:35 |
| wh00mp | what is the best usenet client for ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, check on synaptic for this program | 23:36 |
| wh00mp | and will filezilla work | 23:36 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, sucrack | 23:36 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, you can try from terminal: sudo apr-get install sucrack | 23:36 |
| xhunter | ahhh | 23:36 |
| xhunter | cool | 23:36 |
| killedbyants | Hi. I'm having a problem with installing Gsynaptics. I know what I'm supposed to do with the xorg.conf file, but nothing seems to be making a difference. Can anyone help me? | 23:36 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> ok moment | 23:37 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, sucrack is a multithreaded Linux/UNIX tool for cracking local user | 23:37 |
| cedric__ | accounts via wordlist bruteforcing su | 23:37 |
| fonzarelli | killedbyants: have you logged out/back in or restarted since you added the line to xorg.conf? | 23:37 |
| h_ | wh00mp_; is there any other solutions than to use a virtual box? | 23:37 |
| killedbyants | yes, several times | 23:37 |
| insta | has anyone been able to play bluray yet? | 23:37 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> yes it works | 23:37 |
| killedbyants | usually when i do, it seems to misplace my graphics card | 23:37 |
| fonzarelli | killedbyants: can you put your xorg.conf up on pastebin? | 23:37 |
| Smegzor1 | i'm having major network issues and can't raise any websites atm. I'll just have to type the error in here. its a couple of lines. | 23:37 |
| JonnyD | how do i stop apache? i know restart | 23:37 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, you mean the sucrack or intalling brutus? | 23:37 |
| fonzarelli | JonnyD: /etc/init.d/httpd stop | 23:38 |
| killedbyants | and i have to reconfigure xserver | 23:38 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> i mean sucrack | 23:38 |
| JonnyD | cheers | 23:38 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, ok good | 23:38 |
| killedbyants | what is pastebin? | 23:38 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> Can we brute force emails with sucrack ? | 23:38 |
| fonzarelli | killedbyants: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:38 |
| fonzarelli | killedbyants: paste the contents of the file into that page, then give me the link so i can check it out | 23:39 |
| goat_ | neofax | 23:39 |
| killedbyants | okay, just one second | 23:39 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, no idea. I just found a progarm similar to what you were looking for | 23:39 |
| Smegzor1 | User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users. | 23:39 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> ok thanks :] | 23:39 |
| goat_ | neofax: i think my whole ubuntu installation is now f**ked | 23:39 |
| Smegzor1 | I get that at every login (just mine I think) | 23:39 |
| KenBW2 | user01: its fixed her issue as well :) | 23:39 |
| h_ | so whit virtualbox i can run any i386 software on my amd64? | 23:39 |
| neofax | goat_: How did that happen? | 23:39 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, can you help me on reproducing a scenario? | 23:40 |
| goat_ | neofax: i cant boot into x, i cant boot into recovery mode | 23:40 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, ewww,, thats never good. | 23:40 |
| Smegzor1 | the .dmrc file doesn't seem to exist. | 23:40 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> pm | 23:40 |
| naxa | hey when i cannot select text with mouse or shift key in input boxes in xchat. how can i fix this? | 23:40 |
| Jag_ | argh.. | 23:40 |
| goat_ | neofax: when i was able, half of it was corrupt | 23:40 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, I want to see if you get a duplicate item when editing the menu item of ubuntu | 23:40 |
| JonnyD | how do i remove phpmyadmin completely? | 23:40 |
| Smegzor1 | what does it mean and how do I fix it? | 23:40 |
| Jag_ | been trying to install mac OSX on my pc.. | 23:40 |
| goat_ | neofax: ascii chars etc | 23:40 |
| neofax | goat_: What does the boot say? | 23:40 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, can you help me? | 23:40 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> yes | 23:40 |
| goat_ | neofax: err gives loads of erros | 23:40 |
| Smegzor1 | I googled it but came up empty. | 23:40 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> but sorry can you explain more ? | 23:40 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> i give you ssh account in do what you want | 23:41 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, yes | 23:41 |
| neofax | goat_: That sucks. | 23:41 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> ok ? | 23:41 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, create it and give it 644 permissions . | 23:41 |
| goat_ | neofax: all i did was change the config like you saix, restarted x and it froze on a blank screen | 23:41 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, no, just try this please | 23:41 |
| Smegzor1 | ok | 23:41 |
| stroyan | h_: amd64 hardware can run 32 bit operating systems. And most 64-bit operating systems can run 32-bit software. But you left out all the details about what kind of software you want to run. So people are making many assumptions about those details. | 23:41 |
| goat_ | neofax: then i restarted and it was screwed | 23:41 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> what should i try ? | 23:41 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, right clcik on applications and edit menu item | 23:41 |
| killedbyants | http://paste.ubuntu.com/36009/ | 23:41 |
| goat_ | neofax: what do i do now :/ | 23:41 |
| sluimers | Can someone help? I got an error while trying to compile drm kernel modules -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/36008/ | 23:41 |
| JonnyD | whats the command to find a file? | 23:41 |
| JonnyD | or where something is | 23:42 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, then create a new menu | 23:42 |
| Smegzor1 | oh! it exists now. I never found it last time I did ls .dmrc | 23:42 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> i did | 23:42 |
| Smegzor1 | I'll check and change its permissions | 23:42 |
| qr_ | JonnyD: there are several, it depends how you want to look for it. | 23:42 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> then ? | 23:42 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, this is what mine says : [Desktop] | 23:42 |
| johnny__ | Session=gnome | 23:42 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, and finally you move an item to that folder | 23:42 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, check if it is moved or duplicated | 23:42 |
| Smegzor1 | just that? | 23:42 |
| LordMetroid | What package do I need to install for: configure: error: gFTP needs GLIB 1.2.3 or higher | 23:42 |
| JonnyD | i installed phpmyadmin but im going to remove it, i can do apt-get remove but im guessing some files will be left over.. how do i find these? | 23:42 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> the name : comment : | 23:42 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, from right panel to left panel | 23:42 |
| qr_ | JonnyD: there's find, whereis, locate and which, all of which do different things. | 23:42 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, just drag the item | 23:43 |
| JonnyD | ok | 23:43 |
| JonnyD | thx | 23:43 |
| qr_ | JonnyD: you can do apt-get purge to remove a package and all config files as well. | 23:43 |
| Vixus | Has anyone here used Beast? | 23:43 |
| qr_ | JonnyD: apt-get purge packagename that is | 23:43 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, then right click on it and make sure you can read write it in properties. | 23:43 |
| neofax | goat_: Then use your ubuntu CD as a rescue CD. Boot into the liveCD and then open terminal. sudo mkdir /tmp/root. Then mount -t ext3 /dev/sdaX /tmp/root. sudo gedit /tmp/root/etc/X11/xorg.conf and change it back. | 23:43 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, did you get what I want to check? | 23:43 |
| Smegzor1 | mine contains the same text. How do I see what permissions it has now? | 23:43 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> nop | 23:43 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> it didnt work | 23:44 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, right click on it and select properties. | 23:44 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, for example. You create a new item called test | 23:44 |
| h_ | <stroyan> I tried to run mbrola a free TTS engine on my PC but i can't run it because it is not support an amd-64 | 23:44 |
| sluimers | Can someone help? I got an error while trying to compile drm kernel modules -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/36008/ | 23:44 |
| Smegzor1 | hmm.. nautilus can't see it (I have that set to show hidden files) | 23:44 |
| xhunter | <cedric__> Can we talk in pm please ? | 23:44 |
| goat_ | neofax: i think more is broken then that now? it says the automatic fsck check fails on the file system and then gives a bunch of command now found on boot | 23:44 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, then go to accesories and move the calculator (on right panel) to that new menu in the left panel | 23:44 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, CTRL H | 23:44 |
| cedric__ | xhunter, sure | 23:44 |
| Smegzor1 | oops! yes it can | 23:44 |
| goat_ | neofax: when i managed to nano xorg.conf before it got worse, it was just ascii | 23:45 |
| JonnyD | is there a way i can run the phpmyadmin config again? | 23:45 |
| JonnyD | it shows a menu after install and i selected the wrong thing | 23:45 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor1, once done CTRL ALT BCKSP | 23:45 |
| hydroponic | How do I ignore a package when doing an apt-get upgrade? There's one package I don't want upgraded | 23:45 |
| Smegzor1 | it says I have read and write and nobody else has access | 23:45 |
| Vixus | How can I find out where a certain package's files are installed? | 23:45 |
| qr_ | Vixus: dpkg -L packagename | 23:46 |
| gaelfx | hey, I realize this is hardly the correct place for this question, but can anyone tell me why firefox stops scrolling when the mouse is over flash media? (this doesn't happen in windows or mac version of ff) | 23:46 |

| Smegzor1 | johnny__ its already like that | 23:46 |
| Smegzor1 | but it still errors at login (I haven't changed anything yet) | 23:46 |
| johnny__ | ok save and close it. | 23:46 |
