| SirBob1701 | does anyone know how i can install libpq 8.1 ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Smegzor | johnny__: Its definitely only giving me that error. It started right after I tried making one of my wine prefixes accessible to all users. I copied it to a fake user (I just made a directory in home) and this started after I tried running that wine. | 00:00 |
| jagggy | hey, litle question, what's console-kit-deamon ? | 00:00 |
| h_ | The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. | 00:01 |

| gaelfx | I'm having a problem with utorrent and my external hard drive, can anyone help me? | 00:01 |
| bastid_raZor | h_; /etc/group | 00:02 |
| goat | neofax: you still around man? :/ | 00:03 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor, the funny thing about that, is that I was having the same problem, I am drawing a blank as to how i fixed it. | 00:03 |
| johnny__ | Smegzor, I believe the way I fixed it was just reinstall ubuntu though :( | 00:03 |
| h_ | bastid_raZor_; 10xs but how can add user to vboxusers? | 00:04 |
| Smegzor | johnny__ I'm going to do that in October. Thats how I upgrade Ubuntu. | 00:04 |

| gaelfx | can anyone help me figure out how to fix the problem? | 00:07 |
| oskarBB | ahoj | 00:07 |
| qr_ | gaelfx: have you considered just using windows? uTorrent + ntfs, you're half way there already. | 00:08 |
| johnny__ | so much infact that this is what the end of the file says : ...Too much output, ignoring rest... | 00:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | qr_: xD | 00:08 |
| histo | gaelfx sounds like you should go buy the movie | 00:08 |
| gaelfx | qr_: windows overheats my computer, thanks so much though | 00:08 |
| gaelfx | well, gee, seems like everyone is wearing their sarcasm hats in lieu of their helping hats | 00:09 |
| gaelfx | thanks a lot guys | 00:09 |
| qr_ | gaelfx: well then have you considered using native linux programs/fs... that would be far less error prone. | 00:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | johnny__: i bet you use comamnd cat to look at the file and yeah unless there is something that concerns you than you could file a report but dont hold your breath if xorg works | 00:09 |
| netdur | my new LCD native resolution is 1280x1024, now font looks so small, how do I fix this? | 00:09 |
| gaelfx | qr_: ktorrent uses too much memory and transmission is an old enemy of mine | 00:10 |
| histo | gaelfx: on a serious note does the drive work fine otherwiese? | 00:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gaelfx: there are many application for you to use i.e. deluge and the one that comes with ubuntu etc | 00:10 |
| Valleypj | netdur you can go into prefs appearence and change the font sizes | 00:10 |
| gaelfx | histo: yeah, it works on a windows machine and on a mac just fine | 00:10 |
| qr_ | gaelfx: how about the many other linux torrent programs available? And how about a native linux FS? NFTS write support _exists_ in linux, but it's not particularly _good_. | 00:10 |
| histo | gaelfx: no in linux are you able to use the ntfs drive normally. | 00:11 |

| === usuario__ is now known as wicope | ||

| bderrly | and why do i have no /etc/inittab? | 00:11 |
| histo | bderrly: try ctrl+alt+f7 | 00:11 |
| bderrly | histo, tried | 00:11 |
| gaelfx | histo: I can watch videos from it, and so forth | 00:11 |
| qr_ | bderrly: the shortcut is usually ctrl+alt+F7 | 00:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bderrly: because youre missing ctrl as well | 00:11 |
| histo | gaelfx: yes but can you write to it. | 00:11 |
| Gohalien | Anyone can help me with installing a Bison Acer Orbicam webcam (acer aspire 5720z integrated webcam) here is my pastebin http://pastebin.com/d5d172cd | 00:11 |
| histo | bderrly: is X broken possibly? | 00:12 |
| bderrly | i've never had to hit ctrl with alt+f7 to get to an X session | 00:12 |
| gaelfx | histo: yeah, the torrent started off fine, it just seems to have a problem reading what it wrote | 00:12 |
| Billll | hey I just burned xubuntu alternate Cd onto a disk I'm wodnering if it burnt correctly. | 00:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bderrly: now you have try it out | 00:12 |
| bderrly | X is running, i hit ctrl+alt+f1 to kill off a job | 00:12 |
| histo | bderrly: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Billll: does it boot? | 00:12 |
| histo | bderrly: well you should be able to get back with ctrl+alt+f7 | 00:12 |
| qr_ | gaelfx: on a more serious note, is utorrent trying to use sparse files? That might cause problems. | 00:12 |
| histo | bderrly: unless X crashed | 00:12 |
| gaelfx | histo: sorry, that made no sense, I mean this one torrent seems to be the only problem | 00:12 |
| Valleypj | well Billll if it boots then its fine | 00:12 |
| bderrly | i can hear rythmbox playing | 00:12 |
| gaelfx | qr_: I have no idea what that means | 00:13 |
| Billll | Valley: should it boot in window? | 00:13 |
| histo | gaelfx: can you write to the ntfs drive. | 00:13 |
| histo | bderrly: killal rhythmbox | 00:13 |
| gaelfx | histo: yes | 00:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | qr_, gaelfx:: utorrent is not native to linux or ubuntu and runs in wine hows is that ubuntu related | 00:13 |
| Billll | it's the alternate edition not the GUi thing | 00:13 |
| bderrly | heh, that isn't the issue ;) | 00:13 |
| histo | gaelfx: well then perhaps utorent is the problem. | 00:13 |
| Valleypj | billll i am not sure | 00:13 |
| K|K| | where can i find tools ... i wana see processor usage network etc... ? | 00:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Billll: no, you have to restart your computer, make sure the cd drive is first in the boot sequence, and you should see the menu to start the cd | 00:13 |
| K|K| | help pls | 00:13 |
| K|K| | :) | 00:13 |
| qr_ | gaelfx: in short it's a way of allocating files on disc, it saves space. Look around in the options for sparse files and try turning off anything you find. | 00:13 |
| sFEARs | how do i figure out what version of ubuntu i'm using? | 00:13 |
| gaelfx | Pirate_Hunter: because I think the problem is with ntfs-3g | 00:13 |
| histo | gaelfx: try using transmission and see if you continue to get errors other wise I would ask the wine guys perhaps. | 00:13 |
| histo | gaelfx: /j #winehq | 00:13 |
| histo | sFEARs: cat /etc/issue | 00:14 |
| bderrly | i can't even get to other ttys ... | 00:14 |
| bderrly | :( | 00:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gaelfx: if the problem is with ntfs-3g than that si a problem of its own not with utorrent | 00:14 |
| Billll | Indy: I have a computer with 128 ram I'm trying to get this installed onto, isntallnig form live CD was not working | 00:14 |
| sFEARs | thanks | 00:14 |
| K|K| | lol | 00:14 |
| K|K| | buy more RAM memory | 00:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Billll: ok, and that has what to do with the alt. cd? You still ahve to boot it | 00:14 |
| K|K| | :) | 00:14 |
| goodbyegravity_ | bderrly: Mine have stopped working in the past, too. The only solution was to restart. | 00:14 |
| goodbyegravity_ | (Unfortunately) | 00:14 |
| Billll | Indy: installnig from alternate should do it if everything goes good I'll be back | 00:14 |
| histo | bderrly: sounds like sstuff is really messed up. | 00:14 |
| Valleypj | Billl so the disc is not booting? | 00:14 |
| bderrly | histo, hah, yeah | 00:14 |
| bderrly | i'm a bit concerned that i have no /etc/inittab file | 00:15 |
| histo | bderrly: do you see a hung process | 00:15 |
| histo | bderrly: thats a ubuntu thing | 00:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gaelfx: i bet youre running utorrent and trying to save directly into your windows partition instead of keeping files inside / or z: drive as wine puts it | 00:15 |
| Valleypj | Billl did you check the md5 sums? | 00:15 |
| histo | bderrly: you won't hav ea inittab | 00:15 |
| Billll | Valley: the live Cd would boot onto desktop but would not isntall properly so I'm trying to alternate CD and installing without GUI interface which require more ram | 00:15 |
| gaelfx | Pirate_Hunter: there is no windows partition, it's an external drive | 00:15 |
| === johnny__ is now known as phear | ||
| Valleypj | ahhh ok | 00:15 |
| gaelfx | Pirate_Hunter: completely OS free | 00:15 |
| bderrly | histo, why? | 00:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Billll: its easy, just follow the instructions... | 00:15 |
| RG-NewGuy | installing mplayer (no internet on machine) | 00:16 |
| === phear is now known as johnny__ | ||
| bderrly | what got rid of it and what is the replacement? | 00:16 |
| gaelfx | histo: ok, I guess I'll try it | 00:16 |
| RG-NewGuy | any easy way to install mplayer without internet access? | 00:16 |
| Billll | Vallety: on lvie CD it looked liek it was isntallnig okay when it reached 99% then it went off the GUI and into blakc screen explaing a error etc... | 00:16 |

| goodbyegravity_ | RG-NewGuy: Download the files from Ubuntu on your current connection and burn them or stick them on a flash drive | 00:16 |
| Valleypj | it sounds like the cd to me | 00:17 |
| sFEARs | i could use some help with what i think is a power management issue. my screen saver comes on after the 15 minutes, then about 10 minutes after that the screen turns off, then a few minutes after that the whole computer shuts down. I have the settings for the laptop set in system/prefs/power management. but it turns off anyway. Any ideas anyone? | 00:17 |
| RG-NewGuy | if i download the source file | 00:17 |
| Billll | valley: I should of installed from alternate anyways ;/ | 00:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gaelfx: first question what is that drive partitioned as? what is that drive recognised as /sda/sdb/sdc etc? by windows drive i didnt mean you had an os in it and why dont you use linux apps instead of doing what youre doing | 00:17 |
| RG-NewGuy | would that be easier then downloading the dependacys? | 00:17 |
| PineHead | how do i tell what port mysql is running on? | 00:17 |
| trmanco | can anybody explain to me why I have 2 xorg processes? | 00:17 |
| Valleypj | Billl how old is the system | 00:17 |
| goodbyegravity_ | RG-NewGuy: You would still need some dependencies to build it | 00:17 |
| goodbyegravity_ | RG-NewGuy: More than would be installed with the compiled package | 00:18 |
| infinitycircuit | trmanco, that is a known issue with some ati cards i think | 00:18 |
| Billll | Valley: the internal clock starts up at 1989 | 00:18 |
| trmanco | infinitycircuit, ok thanks | 00:18 |
| Billll | lol | 00:18 |
| RG-NewGuy | i tried ./configure && make | 00:18 |
| bderrly | what is ubuntu's replacement for inittab? | 00:18 |
| RG-NewGuy | make install | 00:18 |
| RG-NewGuy | now i have no gui | 00:18 |
| RG-NewGuy | and nothing happens | 00:18 |
| goodbyegravity_ | RG-NewGuy: You need to compile or install a frontend like gmplayer | 00:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Billll: if youre prepared to go through the trouble i would advise you to do a bare minimum install if your specs arent all greta, annoying at first but youll luv it when the system is up and running | 00:18 |
| RG-NewGuy | thanks | 00:19 |
| gaelfx | Pirate_Hunter: I understand that you want to help, thanks anyways, just consider the issue closed | 00:19 |

| lWizardl | how do i do a direct install of xubuntu from a Ubuntu cd? | 00:20 |
| yuri_ | goodbyegravity_: you're right | 00:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lWizardl: what do you mean by direct install? | 00:20 |

| arthur | question about torrents can i ask in here? | 00:22 |
| yuri_ | qr_: excellent | 00:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lWizardl: if you mean a clean isnatll pop the cd and do manual partition, delete/format current partition with xubuntu and install again now if you want to install without x and do it yourself that different | 00:22 |
| yuri_ | qr_: thanks! | 00:22 |
| qr_ | yuri_: you're welcome, cheers! | 00:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arthur: not sure i ahve no comment on that one but heck give it a go | 00:23 |
| killedbyants | is anybody here experienced with getting gsynanptic to work? | 00:23 |
| lWizardl | Pirate_Hunter, yeah but all the disc images I can find are for either the gnome (ubuntu) or kde (Kubuntu) where do I find a xubuntu image to download | 00:23 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: Are you using Intrepid or Hardy? | 00:24 |
| killedbyants | hardy | 00:24 |
| arthur | ther .rar files i downloaded, ther is a bunch in the one folder do i unpack just the first one and the rest will follow or do i need to unpack all of them 1 by 1 | 00:24 |
| lordfdisk | whats the diff in xubuntu and ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lWizardl: in ubuntu.com its their i know ive seen it | 00:24 |
| goodbyegravity_ | You have to add "SHMConfig" "on" to the Synaptics section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:24 |
| lWizardl | found it | 00:24 |
| iron | lordfdisk the gui | 00:24 |
| killedbyants | yeah, i tried doing that | 00:24 |
| killedbyants | i get the same error | 00:24 |
| goodbyegravity_ | What error? | 00:24 |
| killedbyants | i took a screenshot: http://i35.tinypic.com/flliqp.png | 00:25 |
| bderrly | lordfdisk, gnome vs xfce | 00:25 |
| killedbyants | with both "true" and with "on", i've tried both | 00:25 |
| killedbyants | and it gives me that error | 00:25 |
| lordfdisk | ty for the answer iron | 00:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arthur: answer is no not ubuntu directed and that should be asked where you got your torrent form | 00:25 |
| killedbyants | you can see thee xorg file though, and it's done correctly | 00:25 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: That's weird. I know in Intrepid it doesn't work -ever-. | 00:25 |
| gaelfx | histo: hey, Transmission doesn't even seem to be able to download at all | 00:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bderrly: xfce for older machines as they say | 00:25 |
| iron | lordfdisk np | 00:25 |
| lordfdisk | ty fir the answer bderrly | 00:26 |
| arthur | i thought so | 00:26 |
| killedbyants | is there any other way i can turn off tap to click on my track pad then? | 00:26 |
| killedbyants | thats all i'm trying to do | 00:26 |
| killedbyants | it bugs the hell out of me | 00:26 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Not without SHMConfig. | 00:26 |
| goodbyegravity_ | It's bloody annoying. | 00:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bderrly: but heck ive heard of ppl using puppy linux on modern machines with kde on it so who knows | 00:26 |
| killedbyants | ugh, i don | 00:26 |
| bderrly | people do whacky things | 00:26 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: You may try to recompile xorg-input-synaptic from the freedesktop git respository. | 00:26 |
| bderrly | so, no one knows what the replacement for /etc/inittab is? | 00:26 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: But that didn't solve it for me with Intrepid. In Hardy it was already configured. | 00:26 |
| killedbyants | hm, i dunno... | 00:27 |
| bderrly | n/m, answered my own question: /etc/event.d/ | 00:27 |
| killedbyants | how do i recompile that? | 00:27 |
| michaeldisieno | what is the program that ubuntu uses to show wifi ap's? | 00:27 |
| goodbyegravity_ | http://webgit.freedesktop.org | 00:27 |

As far as I know search doesnt go into subdirectories. (Must I do this stuff in a terminal shell? Doesn't that kind of defeat having a gu | 00:31 |

| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: Tell me when it finishes installing | 00:32 |
| killedbyants | done | 00:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | liquis: have you tried searching online for firefox the mozilla site should pick up your os and get you the .deb file for 3 | 00:32 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: Now, go to your home directory or some folder to which you have write access and type: | 00:32 |
| bastid_raZor | liquis; ff3 in gutsy is firefox-3.0 .. that is the package name. | 00:33 |

| Pirate_Hunter | liquis: why cant you find it in synaptic or in apt-get, aptitufe what ahve you done | 00:33 |
| johnny__ | k0rnz, nm-applet | 00:33 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: That will download the current snapshot of the driver, and then you can go into the folder it creates and build it. | 00:33 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: Do you know how to compile from source? | 00:33 |
| k0rnz | johnny_ will this also allow to configure wifi to autoconnect on boot? | 00:33 |

| Pirate_Hunter | killedbyants: you just installed ubuntu, havent used it before and you want to compile "hoo boy youll be here for a while" | 00:36 |
| johnny__ | k0rnz, looks like two computers | 00:36 |
| Lecter | compile what? | 00:36 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Pirate_Hunter: I'm trying to guide him through reinstalling his synaptic driver; SHMConfig is broken for some people, especially with stuff from Intrepid | 00:36 |
| arthur | ok is it possible to copy files off my desktop and paste them into virtualbox or going through natulis and pasting to my other os desktop folder? | 00:36 |
| killedbyants | should i not bother, or is it worth trying? | 00:36 |
| MauriceRaybaud | Hi,I just switched to Ubuntu(studio) Hardy 8.04 and seem to have a favorite app or mimetype problem (network related) could someone help me? | 00:37 |
| johnny__ | goodbyegravity_, anything to do with intrepid should be directed to #ubuntu+1 | 00:37 |
| goodbyegravity_ | killedbyants: Like I said, it didn't work for me, but I'm not sure of what else controls that feature. | 00:37 |
| goodbyegravity_ | johnny__: He's not using Intrepid. | 00:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | goodbyegravity_, :/ not getting involved will pretend never read it | 00:37 |
| arthur | is it possable to browse inside virtual box from natulius | 00:37 |
| dr_Willis | arthur, i know that virtualbox can some how 'share' a directory with the virtual os and the actual os. I did that once ages ago.. that would need the virtualbox client tools installed on the virtualbox os I recall | 00:37 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Pirate_Hunter: I know, I know, but there is a bug somewhere. | 00:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arthur: no not that i ahve heard of | 00:37 |
| dr_Willis | arthur, or install ssh, or samba, on both os's and let them network to each other. | 00:37 |
| levi_ | quit | 00:37 |
| arthur | i can use one as a ftp server ? | 00:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | goodbyegravity_, pretend im not here for the moment :'( | 00:38 |
| arthur | one os as a ftp server ? | 00:38 |
| blake_ | lolz | 00:38 |
| dr_Willis | arthur, you can. :) | 00:38 |
| johnny__ | goodbyegravity_, oh I misread it | 00:38 |
| dr_Willis | arthur, or ssh server, or samba server, or any other kind of server | 00:38 |
| arthur | that sounds easy | 00:38 |
| goodbyegravity_ | I spent a long time trying to diagnosis it with Intrepid before I gave up; it's really an annoying issue. | 00:39 |
| blake_ | linux itself is an annoying issue | 00:39 |
| blake_ | let's be honest | 00:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arthur: i ahve read that you could use virtualbox to literally use one of your physical partitions as its hd "or was vmware" well just thought you would like to know | 00:39 |
| arthur | how do i conect one to the other ftp:/localhost? | 00:39 |
| goodbyegravity_ | blake_: It's a problem-solver's dream, though. | 00:39 |
| Lecter | what do you want to compile? | 00:39 |
| johnny__ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-compiz-manager/+bug/210162 < this post lists something called GL Desktop I can't seem to find it | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 210162 in gnome-compiz-manager "gnome-compiz-preferences type mismatch warning" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:39 |
| blake_ | goodbyegravity_: =[ | 00:39 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Hacking at it can be satisfying at times. :) | 00:39 |
| blake_ | but it never works, soon as you solve one problem two more have presented themselves | 00:40 |
| dr_Willis | arthur, the 2 os's are networked together.. they access each other as if they were 2 physical box's - each has its own ip. | 00:40 |
| arthur | ok | 00:40 |
| Lecter | killedbyant what u wanna compile????? | 00:40 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Lecter: I'm was telling him up to compile a newer snapshot of the synaptic driver, which compiled really cleanly for me, so I didn't think it would be too stressful. | 00:40 |
| arthur | something else to figure out.....lol | 00:40 |
| Lecter | java? cpp? | 00:40 |
| Lecter | H | 00:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | goodbyegravity_: i take gratification of fixing my own errors and cataloguing them for future reference | 00:40 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Lecter: No idea. | 00:40 |
| MauriceRaybaud | Scrolling fast here :) I repeat if u dont mind: I just switched to Ubuntu(studio) Hardy 8.04 and seem to have a favorite app or mimetype problem (network related) could someone help me? | 00:40 |
| killedbyants | i don't really know lector X ( | 00:40 |
| sotec_prod | I'm running Hardy Heron on an IBM thinkpad 600e (366mhz, 408mb RAM). It runs alright, but theoretically it would be nice for it to run faster. Any tips or tricks or kernel recompilings that would speed things up a bit? | 00:40 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Lecter: But it compiles in the "standard way". | 00:41 |
| arthur | the best thing about running windows in virtualbox is it has a pause button now....:) | 00:41 |
| Lecter | i prefer ubuntu ultimate edition | 00:41 |
| goodbyegravity_ | sotec_prod: Are you using GNOME? | 00:41 |
| johnny__ | sotec_prod, its a really old laptop, but it should run ok.. add more ram would surely be your best bet though. | 00:41 |
| dr_Willis | arthur, simple way to transfer things would be installing ssh on linux, and winscp on the windows os. and using winscp to grab files. | 00:41 |
| qr | stochastik: using a lighter wm (or better yet no wm) is probably the easiest way to get a performance boost. | 00:41 |
| davidt | Hello all | 00:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sotec_prod: remove heron for puppy linux, dsl or so,ething on those lines otherwise do what i did a clean bare minimum install the iso is only 9mb but youll need to be connected to the net and install everything yourself including X | 00:42 |
| dmsuperman | For some reason, my windows occasionally just lose their borders. I usually just do "compiz --replace" and that sorts things out, but this time a specific window still has no border and won't allow me to resize it | 00:42 |
| johnny__ | also sotec_prod you might consider xfce or flu{flux/open/black}box for a wm | 00:42 |
| K|K| | where can i find tools ... i wana see processor usage network etc... ? | 00:42 |
| sotec_prod | goodbye and johnny: yes, gnome. and I did add more ram. I've just upgraded it to 408 and I'll be adding more when I find it at my shop. | 00:43 |
| === im_away is now known as cup_holder | ||
| qr | K|K|: top for cpu usage/memory usage, nethogs for network usage. | 00:43 |
| sotec_prod | yea, I considered Xfce | 00:43 |
| MauriceRaybaud | I guess All that's left for me is to try as hard as I can to get back to windows then, that's sad... | 00:43 |
| sotec_prod | really, puppy? I hear good things, but i' | 00:43 |
| goodbyegravity_ | sotec_prod: XFCE or fluxbox or xmonad (if you can stomach it). | 00:43 |
| sotec_prod | i've never used it | 00:43 |
| Zeroyez | where is the network settings in intrepid | 00:43 |
| sotec_prod | goodbye: i don't want anything too minimal like grml | 00:43 |
| goodbyegravity_ | sotec_prod: But there are a huge amount of light WM's. | 00:43 |
| dr_Willis | MauriceRaybaud, or increase your own personal linux-skills. | 00:43 |
| sotec_prod | that's just a waste | 00:43 |
| goodbyegravity_ | is* | 00:43 |
| johnny__ | Zeroyez, please refer that question to #ubuntu+1 | 00:43 |
| Zeroyez | o ok | 00:44 |
| Xecuter | anyone here got xbox 360 and iptables and nat open working? | 00:44 |
| milos_ | i am having a problem with bluetooth on Hardy. Can't send files from cellphone to pc. On Gutsy everything worked fine. Anyone know the fix? | 00:44 |
| sotec_prod | fluxbox is alright. I used to exclusively use blackbox for windows, but on linux it was unusable for me | 00:44 |
| LordMetro | I tried to update the libglib but I still get: http://rafb.net/p/yLeOS048.html | 00:44 |
| MauriceRaybaud | did you read my question? | 00:44 |
| LordMetro | What do I need to download? | 00:44 |
| goodbyegravity_ | sotec_prod: Funny, I've found that to be true also :) | 00:44 |
| sotec_prod | so the WM is the issue? | 00:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sotec_prod: hardyheron with icewm should do the job, remove ubutnu desktop etc xcompmgr for composite etc that should help or just use X on its own | 00:44 |
| LordMetro | package anybody? | 00:44 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Probably. Especially because GNOME loads a ton of libs and helper apps/daemons. | 00:44 |
| MauriceRaybaud | thats what I tried to do by coming here... | 00:44 |
| dr_Willis | MauriceRaybaud, I just saw some vague comments about default files, and network... not very clear. and i just joined... | 00:44 |
| sotec_prod | i'll remove compiz, see what that does. | 00:45 |
| sotec_prod | it won't use any desktop effects anyway | 00:45 |
| johnny__ | sotec_prod, gnome is a huge use of system rescources. | 00:45 |
| goodbyegravity_ | As long as it's not running, it's not affecting you. | 00:45 |
| sotec_prod | i don't know why it made me install compiz | 00:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sotec_prod, goodbyegravity_: why would you find fluxbox unsuable thats weird, first time i tried it was in dsl and than ubuntu worked nicely until i got cpu jumping when torrenting | 00:45 |
| johnny__ | sotec_prod, gnome installs it now as it assumes everyone's systems aren't yours :P | 00:46 |
| sotec_prod | ah | 00:46 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Pirate_Hunter: On Windows, you don't have to call a bunch of stuff from another WM that doesn't match your own WM. :) | 00:46 |
| johnny__ | Pirate_Hunter, don't hate on fluxbox. | 00:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sotec_prod: probably because you saw the pretty cube images on youtube | 00:46 |
| sotec_prod | pirate: i'll try fluxbox again, or Xfce. I've used Xfce before on a 350mhz desktop and it was pretty smooth | 00:46 |

| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 00:46 |
| qr | sotec_prod: you could also try wmii for a light wm, it's very nice once you're used to it, and very light. | 00:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sotec_prod: try icewm if your from windows you should be happy with it and its taskbar | 00:47 |
| m4lmsteen | fluxbox ahhh yes | 00:47 |
| wingsit | hi | 00:47 |
| m4lmsteen | that was what i used to use... a long time ago... thanks for reminding me | 00:47 |
| wingsit | i have trouble connecting my computer via wireless | 00:47 |
| sotec_prod | pirate, i run hardy heron on my dualcore desktop and it's amazing. i'm no newbie to ubuntu, i am just wondering about tips to make this dinosaur a little faster | 00:47 |
| sotec_prod | more responsive | 00:47 |
| m4lmsteen | does fluxbox work well with ubuntu ? | 00:47 |
| Zeroyez | argh, can someone please tell me how to change network settings | 00:47 |
| KyleS-home | Hmmm...anyone else have weird swap issues? | 00:47 |
| Lassesandberg | Hello. i just made a fresh installation of ubuntu 7.10, from the 7.10 live cd. now i need to manually install nvidia graphic drivers (since geforce 8800gt isent supported by the restricted drivers system).. however the nvidia driver readme file says i need to make sure >the linux-headers package matching the installed linux kernel is installed<. when i search for linux-headers in the synaptic package manager it lists like a hundred things. im | 00:47 |
| sotec_prod | pirate, i hate the windows taskbar. | 00:47 |
| johnny__ | m4lmsteen, yes | 00:48 |
| sotec_prod | i hate KDE | 00:48 |
| histo | m4lmsteen: yes | 00:48 |
| sotec_prod | i like Gnome | 00:48 |
| wingsit | gnome is better | 00:48 |
| goodbyegravity_ | GNOME just has so much more stuff to help you with minor tasks. | 00:48 |
| m4lmsteen | sweet | 00:48 |
| sotec_prod | i RARELY use windows anymore | 00:48 |
| wingsit | cleaner i think | 00:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | johnny__: i dont hate it i actually like it much better than openbox, but icewm is doing it for me at the moment... just wished i ahd the convenience most ppl have with gui, its freaking annoying going to terminal to do simple tasks | 00:48 |
| KyleS-home | KDE has it's benefits :\ | 00:48 |
| KyleS-home | I just choose not to use them :) | 00:48 |
| goodbyegravity_ | KDE has a better font manager. | 00:48 |
| KyleS-home | cause Gnome <3 | 00:48 |
| OldFarter | i have some text rendring issues after i finaly got my Nvidia card working | 00:48 |
| wingsit | any one knows how to setup wireless network? | 00:48 |
| goodbyegravity_ | That doesn't force you to edit those cryptc XML .confs. | 00:48 |
| goodbyegravity_ | cryptic* | 00:49 |
| johnny__ | I used windows in the last 6 months for one thing, updating my BIOS... (for safety sake) I need windows for nothing else lol | 00:49 |
| OldFarter | webpages.... and this xchat windows text gets messed up | 00:49 |
| davidt | Sorry to jump straight away with a question, somehow I manage to remove the sudo rights of my only sudoer on this remote headless system by changing the umask to 002 in /etc/profile. Now I'm basically stuck with this machine with no sudoer at all... | 00:49 |
| Gnea | !wireless | wingsit | 00:49 |
| sparr | im going to have to install windows (in a vm, i think) to run one program. i have avoided doing that for over four years, and it bothers me that the program driving me to do it is a web proxy, i always thought linux had the market cornered on network services | 00:49 |

| sotec_prod | I like not needing Windows. | 00:49 |
| johnny__ | Gnea, we can? | 00:49 |
| sotec_prod | :) | 00:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sotec_prod: yah i hate kde, dont mind the windows taskbar, dont mind gnome as such but i like to be in control so no gnome and ubuntu desktop, nautilus etc | 00:49 |
| felzix | anyone got a link for getting the nvidia drivers | 00:49 |
| felzix | i know its out there | 00:49 |
| OldFarter | go to nvidia.com | 00:50 |
| m4lmsteen | Johnny__ i can't seem to find a site that still has the debian package, if fluxbox available through apt-get? | 00:50 |
| m4lmsteen | if=is | 00:50 |

| TheLouis | what packages do i need in order to set up a shared printer? i seem to be missing all printer-related packages | 00:50 |
| felzix | OldFarter: linux isnt that easy, | 00:50 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: no. | 00:50 |
| felzix | thnak you Gnea | 00:50 |
| sgodsell | johnny__, i notice dell and a few other vendors are making linux iso to install drivers nowadays | 00:50 |
| zcat[1] | sotec_prod: I ended up installing XP in virtualbox so I can check that MSIE isn't horribly mangling a website I'm wrking on. | 00:50 |
| johnny__ | m4lmsteen, yeah but you should just download the tarball and build it | 00:50 |
| heosnaga | felzix: not yet | 00:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | m4lmsteen: yes it is just apt-get fluxbox and be happy | 00:50 |
| OldFarter | fuck this text is driving me nuts | 00:50 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Yeah, fluxbox will compile cleanly. | 00:50 |
| m4lmsteen | Pirate_Hunter, okay | 00:50 |
| Gnea | !language | OldFarter | 00:50 |
| ubottu | OldFarter: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:50 |
| blbrown | what is a simple command to view an image from the command line. E.g. normally I do 'gimp image.png' is there something lighter I can throw at the command line | 00:50 |

| Gohalien | Anyone can help me with installing a Bison Acer Orbicam webcam (acer aspire 5720z integrated webcam) here is my pastebin http://pastebin.com/d5d172cd | 00:50 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: indeed, a break AFK is good now and then. | 00:50 |
| zcat[1] | basically the only time I ever use windows these days is to check that stuff I'm doing will work with windows. | 00:51 |
| zcat[1] | blbrown: eog image | 00:51 |
| sotec_prod | zcat: i know what you mean. I have opera, ff3 and ie7 installed in windows for website design checks. | 00:51 |
| johnny__ | m4lmsteen, fluxbox.sourceforge.net | 00:51 |
| Tsukasa-Ujiie | hey, i was wondering, is ther anyway to forcefully mount or format a memory card that wont open/mount at all? | 00:51 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Unfortunately, none of the scientific apps I have to use have Windows equivalents. Total dealbreaker. | 00:51 |
| blbrown | zcat[1], gracias | 00:51 |
| sotec_prod | make sure the coding is universally accpeted | 00:51 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Linux equivs* | 00:51 |
| OldFarter | if your nvidia card dont work with the ubuntu drivers (8200 is my card) you need to clean out all the ubuntu nvidia files and get it from nvidia | 00:51 |
| sotec_prod | accepted. | 00:51 |
| wingsit | i tried ndiswrapper and it doesnt work | 00:51 |
| TheLouis | what packages do i need to set up a shared printer under hardy? | 00:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | johnny__: ppl tend to avoid building stuff unless they have to like me wanting fvwm but quiting doing so... the procedure involves getting it form synaptic than building the latest on top of the old version for some strange unapparent reason | 00:52 |
| overlordpuppy | Does anyone know of any open source software like Dundjinni? | 00:52 |
| wingsit | i tried ew how-to and none of them work | 00:52 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: negative. there are now a few different versions of the nvidia driver packages for ubuntu, which will support *every* nvidia card. | 00:52 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsitL what kind of Wireless card you have ? | 00:52 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: nvidia-glx-new, nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy | 00:52 |
| zcat[1] | TheLouis: shared as in 'set up a printer in hardy then share it' or 'set up a printer in hardy that is somewhere else, eg a windows box, and shared' | 00:52 |
| johnny__ | Pirate_Hunter, I had problems with WM that I didn't build myself, just my suggestion :P | 00:52 |
| wingsit | marvel technology group ltd. 88w8335 | 00:52 |

| emorris | hi, I'm finding that OpenOffice is crashing ridiculously often, even with very basic tasks like copying and pasting. does anyone know why this could be? | 00:52 |
| sotec_prod | i plugged in my linksys wireless pcmi card and it just worked. :) | 00:52 |
| sotec_prod | then it died | 00:53 |
| wingsit | marvell* | 00:53 |
| Guest272991 | ààûâ? | 00:53 |
| sotec_prod | and I had to use ndiswrapper gui to install the drivers. now it works flawlessly | 00:53 |
| wingsit | i tried | 00:53 |
| wingsit | the installation works fine | 00:53 |
| zcat[1] | emorris: faulty ram? do a memtest.. | 00:53 |
| TheLouis | zcat[1]: shared as in i have a hardy server with a printer connected to it and i'd like to be able to send docs from my laptop to that sever to print | 00:53 |
| OldFarter | Gnea, then you can tell me whats up with my text rendering? | 00:53 |
| wingsit | but when i do sodu ifconfig | 00:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | johnny__: i wasnt saying your suggestion was bad just saying for the sake of boredom that ppl dont like building unless they have to | 00:53 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Aren't Ubuntu moving a lot more toward ndiswrapper now? | 00:53 |
| davidt | hi all I lost my sudo rights in my remote box by changing the umask to 002 /etc/profile is there anything I can do to recover the sudo rights ? | 00:53 |
| wingsit | it doesnt give the rite output | 00:53 |
| infinitycircuit | goodbyegravity_, no | 00:53 |
| johnny__ | TheLouis, is CUPS installed? | 00:53 |
| emorris | zcat[1]: thanks, I'll give it a go | 00:53 |
| goodbyegravity_ | infinitycircuit: There was an article today about auto-ndiswrapper, though. | 00:54 |
| TheLouis | zcat[1]: I seem to be missing every printer-related package, but I installed CUPS (to the best of my knowledge lol) | 00:54 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: if you'd be so kind as to provide some detailed information (screenshots are a bonus!) about the problem, I'd be happy to. | 00:54 |
| sotec_prod | wingsit: you may have to connect to your router with an eth0 cable to get your wireless working. that's what I ended up having to do. | 00:54 |
| sotec_prod | wingsit: that's upon fresh install though. | 00:54 |
| TheLouis | johnny_: i believe so. how can i check via command line? | 00:54 |
| sotec_prod | now it works great | 00:54 |
| wingsit | sotec_prod: if that is an option, i wnt even try wireless | 00:54 |
| infinitycircuit | TheLouis, dpkg -l | grep cups | 00:54 |
| sotec_prod | wingsit: it's worth it on a laptop. desktop, not so much. i'm hard-wired in on my desktop | 00:55 |

| zcat[1] | TheLouis: Withough setting up anything afaik, system > administration > printing, and there's a 'policies' tab there. one of the options is 'shared' | 00:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | goodbyegravity_: that renders as gibberish to me | 00:55 |
| sotec_prod | wingsit: desktop: ethernet, laptop: wireless. | 00:55 |
| OldFarter | and if i resize the window evertything that was there is fixed | 00:56 |
| wingsit | sotec_prod: if that is an option, I would not even bother to use wireless | 00:56 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: which nvidia card do you have and which driver do you have installed? | 00:56 |

| davidt | hi all I REALLY need some help I lost my sudo rights in my remote box by changing the umask to 002 /etc/profile is there anything I can do to recover the sudo rights ? | 00:56 |
| sotec_prod | wingsit: for some reason, ubuntu bypasses all security when hooking in with ethernet. it just works. | 00:56 |
| OldFarter | Gforce 8200 | 00:56 |
| TheLouis | zcat[1]: I'm on xfce, though. this is a mythbuntu box--none of the other channels were answering (sorry) | 00:56 |
| sotec_prod | wingsit: beautiful thing. :) | 00:56 |
| TheLouis | so maybe that's my problem | 00:57 |
| wingsit | that does not solve my problem | 00:57 |
| OldFarter | 173.14.12 driver (the one from ubuntu would not work AT ALL) | 00:57 |
| m4lmsteen | brb | 00:57 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: so you installed the one from nvidia.com and it's working okay now? | 00:57 |
| cszikszoy | does anyone know of a program that will split an mp3 with a .cue sheet file? | 00:57 |
| dmi3on | hi all, can i cannoect vista virtual desktop and ubuntu ? | 00:57 |
| zcat[1] | TheLouis: I have no idea what I have; I tend to just use the default install options; and I find that wonderful things happen, like for example I just plug in almost any USB printer and wait, and I can print to it without doing a thing to 'install' or 'configure' it first. | 00:58 |
| johnny__ | xchat is unicode yes? | 00:58 |
| sotec_prod | alright, i'm out of here. have a good one everyone. | 00:58 |

| Pirate_Hunter | dmi3on: yesh by remote login, shh, vpn etc | 00:58 |
| wingsit | anyone can help me on how to get my wireless working? | 00:58 |
| Xecuter | anyone here using ics and an xbox 360? | 00:58 |
| TheLouis | zcat[1]: i hear you... and this printer works beautifully in ubuntu... in fact i can print here, i just don't see wehre all my printer options (such as sharing) are | 00:58 |
| qr | dmi3on: you can run a vnc server on vista and connect to it from ubuntu. I don't think you can connect using the default remote desktop protocol from windows though | 00:59 |
| OldFarter | well the driver work as in i got 3d acceleration | 00:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dmi3on: oh and samba if it is lan network | 00:59 |
| OldFarter | but apended text gets mangeled | 00:59 |
| zcat[1] | TheLouis: system > administration > printing, select any local printer and there is a 'policies' tab there. one of the options is 'shared' | 00:59 |
| waxhead__ | tv-users | 00:59 |
| OldFarter | also goes for web pages.... (the part thats not in the visible are when it first loads) | 00:59 |
| simotempler | Anyone who uses / used virtualbox - how do u get the sound to work when u have xp installed on ubuntu via virtualbox | 01:00 |
| dmi3on | qr, is VNC secure ? | 01:00 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: is that a laptop computer you have that on ? | 01:00 |

| Knightbd | Anyone here able to help with finding/mounting external hard drives that don show up under fdisk ?? | 01:00 |
| wingsit | i tried what the ubuntuwki said | 01:00 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: so i can assume PCI ? | 01:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | simotempler: options check options its there just need to enable it | 01:00 |
| wingsit | yes it is | 01:00 |
| qr | dmi3on: as far as I know, if not by default I'm sure it can be made so. | 01:00 |
| zcat[1] | TheLouis: once you choose to share it, other machines on the network will show it as an available printer in the usual 'select your printer' drop-down dialog | 01:00 |
| johnny__ | how do I find out if xserver is using or has used xserver-xgl? | 01:00 |
| Rolcol | Knightbd: how many drives are connected to your computer in total? | 01:01 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: looking at the documentation online, a few have had it working with use of ndiswrapper | 01:01 |
| wingsit | i tried | 01:01 |
| simotempler | i tried changing the audio options a few times but still no luck shows up in xp that there is no hardware | 01:01 |
| dmi3on | qr, can i PM you ? | 01:01 |
| goodbyegravity_ | johnny__: Have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:01 |
| TheLouis | zcat[1]: i don't have printing under system... weird | 01:01 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: how are you trying to configure the card ? | 01:01 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: is the 8200 built-in or an AGP/PCI card? | 01:01 |
| wingsit | Dozed: i tried but when i do ifconfig i cant find wlan0 | 01:01 |
| qr | dmi3on: no, I really don't know enough about this to be of extensive help. You'll have to look into this on your own. | 01:01 |
| Knightbd | One internal and one external | 01:01 |
| OldFarter | build in | 01:01 |
| dmi3on | ok | 01:01 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: laptop or desktop? | 01:02 |
| dmi3on | qr, thx | 01:02 |
| OldFarter | desktop | 01:02 |
| Vooloo | my keyboard settings have broken and I have no idea why... I cant use the shift button.. is there some shortcut command that screws everything up? | 01:02 |
| Rolcol | Knightbd, then the external should be /dev/sdb | 01:02 |
| wingsit | i followed the procedure in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3?highlight=(AND)|(ManufacturerModel) | 01:02 |
| qr | dmi3on: gl though, sorry I can't be of more help | 01:02 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: so then <iconfig - a> shows nothing usable ? (such as wlan) | 01:02 |
| OldFarter | asus m3n78-emh | 01:02 |
| Vooloo | looks like I have to re-install ubuntu to get my keyboard working again :( | 01:02 |
| simotempler | pirate_hunter : i tried changing the audio options a few times but still no luck shows up in xp that there is no hardwar | 01:02 |
| zcat[1] | TheLouis: I don't have 'printing under 'system' either. I have 'administration' under system .. and I have 'printing' under administration. But yes, that is weird. 'printing' is there in a brand new Ubuntu install so somewhere along the way you have accidentally removed it. | 01:02 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: could you please pastebin the contents of these files? /var/log/dmesg and /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:02 |

| dandozer | what's a good swap | 01:03 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok, just a sec | 01:03 |
| goodbyegravity_ | dandozer: The Intel 345 a/b/g works great. | 01:04 |
| goodbyegravity_ | dandozer: With the ipw3945 driver. | 01:04 |

| goat_ | can anyone tell me if use can lose data with fsck? | 01:04 |
| johnny__ | it so happens its using AIGLX | 01:04 |
| goodbyegravity_ | dandozer: But your Atheros card doesn't work? Atheros hired the maintainer of the open-source driver. | 01:04 |
| wingsit | dozedonlinux: thx | 01:04 |
| dmi3on | i have core duo 2, 2G of RAM, 965 intel express, will ubuntu run with compiz ? | 01:04 |
| goat_ | if you tell it to fix stuff, will fsck delete your data? | 01:04 |
| axisys | looks like only windows with ie 7 or mac will work | 01:04 |
| dr_Willis | goat_, its possible.. its also possible the data is allready lost and its not fsck's fault. | 01:04 |
| LordMetro | What do one do to remedy /home/lordmetroid/gftp-2.0.18/src/text/gftp-text.c:188: undefined reference to `g_locale_from_utf8' this kind of clustermess? | 01:05 |

| goodbyegravity_ | err... | 01:05 |
| dandozer | no I think it might be the presarios fault | 01:05 |
| goat_ | dr_Willis: fsck wants to fix a sh*tload of stuff, if i let it clone, delete, move, etc blocks of stuff, is it safe to do that or can i lose data? | 01:05 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: post the output to > lspci -n | 01:05 |

| SeveredCross | It's not installed by default I think. | 01:06 |
| PineHead | Whats the best vmware product to run multiple instances of desktoplinux on? | 01:06 |

| goodbyegravity_ | dandozer: You'll probably have to unsolder the antenna and resolder it onto the new card, though. | 01:06 |
| goat_ | !fsck | 01:06 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 01:06 |

| dandozer | I'll just keep using my belkin usb /g | 01:07 |
| axisys | so no luck watching mbcolympics.com videos from my laptop :-( | 01:07 |
| wingsit | dozedonlinux: hold on | 01:07 |
| zcat[1] | I was given a "ZyDAS WLA-54L WiFi" USB adapter a while back. Seems to be pretty well supported, I can use it right from the live cd boot! | 01:07 |

| goat_ | dr_Willis: i was trying to sort out my graphics settings with neofax's help, then my file system got "somehow" corrupted and now i need to fix it, what is the chance of losing data with fsck? there isnt much data on the hdd | 01:08 |
| goodbyegravity_ | eTiger13: Oh, I dunno. | 01:08 |
| dr_Willis | goat_, i would way rather low in that case. | 01:08 |

| Rolcol | If I were to clear my swap by writing zeros to it, would the partition itself still exist? | 01:09 |
| goat_ | dr_Willis: that file is just ascii now | 01:09 |
| dr_Willis | goat_, no idea. its possible its the hard drive dieing. | 01:09 |

| wingsit | dozedonlinux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/36039/ | 01:09 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok will look | 01:09 |
| zcat[1] | Rolcol: like a filesystem, not just totally blank | 01:09 |
| dandozer | I want to go to china | 01:10 |
| johnny__ | goat_, its time to just plain reinstall. | 01:10 |
| wingsit | dozedonlinus: thx | 01:10 |
| Rolcol | zcat[1], that's my plan. So the swap partition should still exist in raw form? | 01:10 |
| dr_Willis | goat_, sounds more and more like a hardware flakyness issue to me. But it can be hard to twll these days | 01:10 |
| johnny__ | dandozer, don't take a mask or you'll insult them.. | 01:10 |
| goat_ | its 2:10am and i am sitting twiddling my thumbs with a corrupt OS and no way to backup the data | 01:10 |

| Gnea | OldFarter: your ACPI table is broken. There might be a workaround: [ 18.343739] ACPI Warning (tbutils-0217): Incorrect checksum in table [OEMB] - 2C, should be 1F [20070126] | 01:11 |

| MenZa | hooray. | 01:11 |
| wingsit | dozedonlinux: i followed that unbuntuwiki and everything is fine until i try ifconfig | 01:11 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: so now post output to > cat /etc/network/interfaces | 01:11 |
| dr_Willis | goat_, theres online sevices. :) but it depends on the details. | 01:11 |
| zcat[1] | live CD and USB-powered external drive == very useful recovery tools | 01:11 |
| Rolcol | dandozer, same. I fell in love with linux. | 01:11 |

| heosnaga | ? | 01:11 |
| OldFarter | ACPI table? | 01:11 |
| johnny__ | lassesandberg, use CTRL ALT F1 | 01:11 |

| goat_ | meh | 01:11 |
| lassesandberg | thanks johnny | 01:11 |

| wingsit | iface lo inet loopback | 01:12 |
| wingsit | that is it | 01:12 |
| goodbyegravity_ | goat_: What happened? | 01:12 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: a couple other things too - how much memory is the nvidia using? 64meg? | 01:12 |
| dandozer | heron is the best help yet | 01:12 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok then you may need to add a line | 01:12 |
| OldFarter | 256 i believe | 01:12 |
| wingsit | what line | 01:12 |
| goat_ | goodbyegravity_: the huge thing decided to become corrupt and die after editing a config file... | 01:12 |

| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: in terminal do this > ifconfig -a you are looking for anything other than eth0 , if it isnt there, then youmay need to alias it | 01:12 |
| goodbyegravity_ | goat_: The whole FS? As in it doesn't boot past a fsck? | 01:13 |
| OldFarter | so does ikea have these kind of tables? | 01:13 |
| dr_Willis | goat_, You dont want to know the blowups ive had with windows.. you ahve not 'proven' it was a ubuntu failure. | 01:13 |
| goodbyegravity_ | goat_: Or it won't boot at all? | 01:13 |
| wingsit | eth0 and lo only | 01:13 |
| wingsit | what is lo | 01:13 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Loopback | 01:13 |
| dandozer | I bought a compaq they were together | 01:13 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok i just had to make sure as you answer on that was way up there ^ | 01:13 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: okay - major problem there, then, is the AGP aperature is set to 64megabytes - if the video has 256MB, the aperature should be set (in the bios) to 256MB or, preferably, 512MB (to allow for decent write-backs, which is usually where graphical artifacts show up) | 01:13 |
| goat_ | goodbyegravity_: yes, i've had crazy stuff happen, like being at the login prompt screen and in console shell at the same time, with both replying to my entries | 01:13 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: lo is loopback, it is needed | 01:13 |
| heosnaga | dandozer: ah i see | 01:13 |
| wingsit | ic | 01:13 |
| wingsit | no idee what it is still | 01:14 |

| zcat[1] | goat_: seriously; it sounds like you have major hardware issues. | 01:14 |
| OldFarter | can i dcc a screen shoot? | 01:15 |
| dr_Willis | Knightbd, if its not showing up under 'fdisk -l' and its a normal usb/ide/sata drive... You are not going to be able to mount it.. untill the system sees it. | 01:15 |
| goat_ | zcat[1]: there wasnt a problem at all before | 01:15 |
| DozedOnLinux | wngsitL do this while i find that > look for your wireless card info, if there > sudo lshw -C network | 01:15 |

| wingsit | do you need the rest? | 01:16 |
| zcat[1] | goat_: Well, it might not comfort you much but your experience with ubuntu is far from normal.. I have no idea why, I can only imagine there is something very strange about the hardware you're running it on. | 01:16 |
| goat_ | goodbyegravity_: it replied to commands and login screen at once, said enter username, i entered, it said enter password - bad command, i entred password, it said invaid password and then it said invalid command or something | 01:16 |

| goodbyegravity_ | goat_: Out of my support range, then. :( | 01:17 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: nothing that has anythign to do with you wifi ? | 01:17 |
| goat_ | goodbyegravity_: but it did different things the first 3 times i rebooted, now only its doing the same | 01:17 |
| wingsit | dozedonlinuz: i dont see anything special | 01:17 |
| zcat[1] | lordfdisk: sudo nano /etc/groups and I can't remember if you put your name after the vboxuser group or vboxusers after your name.. one of those | 01:17 |
| goodbyegravity_ | What setting did you change? | 01:18 |
| OldFarter | ill reboot and check whats up in the bios, back in five | 01:18 |
| wingsit | if i understand correctly | 01:18 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit : ok look here for your wifi > sudo lspci | grep Network | 01:18 |
| goodbyegravity_ | I don't see how changing one thing in xorg.conf could destroy the whole FS. | 01:18 |
| Knightbd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/36043/ | 01:18 |
| wingsit | lshw _C network found the card | 01:18 |
| xyblor | how do I make a script run whenever gdm starts? I've tried adding things to /etc/gdm/Init but nothing happens | 01:18 |
| goat_ | goodbyegravity_ exactly my point | 01:18 |
| zcat[1] | vboxusers:x:128:zcat <- that was the one ;) | 01:18 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok that is good | 01:18 |
| Knightbd | so it's there | 01:18 |
| JonnyD | guys what is the default directory for openssl? | 01:18 |
| wingsit | nothing | 01:18 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Hmm | 01:18 |
| goat_ | after restarting x, it froze on a blank screen and i had to reboot | 01:18 |
| lassesandberg | can anyone tell me how to enter terminal-only mode in ubuntu 7.10?? without x running in any way.. #johnny_ i tried ctrl alt f1. but the nvidia installere still claims x is running, and the command startx launched an error saying x was allready running, so aparrently it dosent shut down x entirely | 01:18 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: Do you know the filesystem on the device? Is it just an external drive or a memory card reader? | 01:18 |
| goat_ | then it logged into x but with some stuff corrupt | 01:18 |
| wingsit | grep Marvell finds the card | 01:19 |
| goat_ | then it got worse the next 3 reboots | 01:19 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok | 01:19 |

| GlimDanten | Hello, I was wondering if someone might be able to give me some help with getting my usb flash drive to work in ubuntu | 01:19 |
| goat_ | sigh, i doubt anyone here could help anyway, guess ill go try and break it more :( | 01:19 |
| goodbyegravity_ | goat_: You might just want to try scanning, repartitioning your disk and reinstalling. It sounds like the FS has gotten corrupted? | 01:19 |
| goodbyegravity_ | In which case, it's going to take some voodoo to try to recover if there's anything important on there. | 01:20 |
| goat_ | goodbyegravity_: it has... from a xorg setting :/ | 01:20 |
| johnny__ | brb | 01:20 |
| m4lmsteen | well hm | 01:20 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: What /dev/sd* devices do you have? | 01:20 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: One of them should be your external drive, and the others your Linux partitions. | 01:20 |
| johncoltrane | I can't get any sound from Rosegarden and Hydrogen, makes sound but it's totally out of sync. How do I find out if jack's working ok? | 01:21 |
| lassesandberg | johnny_, it dosent list something called xterm in the session menu, only something called xscript? | 01:21 |
| Knightbd | according to fdisk -l just sda(1/2/3/4) | 01:21 |
| goat_ | ok, im going to go break it more (if thats possible) cheers | 01:21 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: we need to find the module name for the card and add that to the alias file , alias entry will look similiar to this > alias wlan0 88w8335 | 01:21 |

| Knightbd | heres what shows up http://paste.ubuntu.com/36047/ and how do I highlight your name, might make things easier | 01:26 |

| wingsit | there isnt any | 01:26 |

| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok, maybe i can find it on the web, give me a min,, i dont want to assume it is as simple as >alias wlan0 88w8335 < although it may very well be | 01:27 |

| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: Do "ls /dev | grep sd" and see if you have anything other than /dev/sda | 01:27 |
| mike-ekim | why? | 01:27 |
| mike-ekim | i heard it was easy on ubuntu 8 | 01:27 |

| michaeldisieno | can someone link me to connecting to a wiki for wep based wifi | 01:29 |

| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: by chance, do you remember doing the option in ndiswrapper using > -ma | 01:29 |

| mike-ekim | im just asking for an advice of what to try to do | 01:29 |
| OldFarter | aperature? | 01:29 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: That's weird, but I don't know anything about using dd. :( Sorry. | 01:30 |
| LR1 | could anyone answer the following question: | 01:30 |
| LR1 | isit worth to learn docbook or there is an recent (or better) alternative to it??? | 01:30 |
| Knightbd | goodbyegravity_, well, thanks for the help thus far, I know a little more than I did when I started. | 01:30 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: well, if you've used slackware before, you should be familiar with how the amount of video ram relates to the agp aperature... | 01:30 |
| * Gnea used slackware for a number of years as well. | 01:30 | |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: Let me plug in my external and see what kind of stuff it tells me. | 01:30 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: you still there ? | 01:30 |
| Swish | umm | 01:31 |
| zcat[1] | Someone refresh my memory because I can't recall .. when I connect to my (WPA-enabled) access point, I just 'connect' and it prompts me for a password. Very easy. Did I have to add a package at some time to make that happen or is it automatic in 8.04 ? | 01:31 |
| Swish | agp aperture, iirc, maxes to 256MB in most/all BIOSs | 01:31 |
| Swish | no? | 01:31 |
| Swish | and it has nothing to do with how much video ram you actually have. | 01:31 |
| candive | GlimDanten, I had that problem WiFi Radar helps | 01:31 |
| OldFarter | actually i've never paid much attention to 3d card related X configuration | 01:31 |
| LR1 | i've learned cvs and now i only use svn, i wouldn't like to learn outdated things... | 01:31 |
| goodbyegravity_ | zcat[1]: I think that's always been part of gnome-network-manager. | 01:31 |
| goodbyegravity_ | network-preferences* | 01:32 |
| LR1 | please anyone give me a hint: | 01:32 |
| LR1 | is it worth to learn docbook or there is an recent (or better) alternative to it??? | 01:32 |
| zcat[1] | goodbyegravity_: Yeah, I thought so to. I can't remember adding anything to make it happen. | 01:32 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: alright - well try turning on pci=routeirq | 01:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: have a possible fix, if you can wake up | 01:32 |
| mike-ekim | w/e, the dickheads are usually the morons without an answer | 01:32 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Or whatever it is that pops up; it might not be that package. | 01:32 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: I was disconnected | 01:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | Gnea: pci=routeirq worked for me | 01:32 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: sorry | 01:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: ok i found page on your card | 01:32 |
| GlimDanten | candive: thanks, unfortunately, I cannot seem to get data over to my ubuntu laptop because A. It will not read Vista burned dvds, B. it will not recognise a usb thumb drive, and C. the wireless network card does not seem to be working | 01:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: this is clip from it, just read it, and i can help you configure it | 01:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: Use cat to look at /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper and ensure that it contains the line "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" and nothing else | 01:33 |
| GlimDanten | So I am trying to get one of those problems fixed | 01:33 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Bleh, where's my external power cable.. | 01:33 |
| LR1 | oh yeah? dickhead? | 01:33 |
| candive | GlimDanten, I found checking wireless settings I changed from 1-0 or 0-1 and that solved my problem | 01:33 |
| Gnea | DozedOnLinux: yeah i've had it solve many odd issues before too | 01:33 |
| NIKEASS | hello | 01:33 |
| OldFarter | Gnea, you mean in the bios? | 01:34 |
| Belboz91 | hey all, anyone here use a mail server on their Ubuntu machine? | 01:34 |
| zcat[1] | GlimDanten: it should read any 'normal' usb thumbdrive. You do need to wait quite a long time (15 or 20 seconds) for the drive to come up though. Don't just assume it's not working and unplug it again right away. | 01:34 |
| NIKEASS | does anyone know if the visual effects of hardy heron any good??? | 01:34 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux, there isnt such directory | 01:34 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: in terminal > gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper and add that line > alias wlan0 ndiswrapper <if not there, should be only line | 01:34 |
| Gnea | OldFarter: no, i mean in the kernel bootup sequence - just interrupt grub and throw pci=routeirq into the kernel bootup line for your kernel | 01:34 |
| LR1 | thanks all of you for the great help | 01:34 |
| NIKEASS | why is my video DVD so choppy | 01:34 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: Your drive isn't being read correctly. I'll paste all of the stuff that pops up for me | 01:34 |
| GlimDanten | candive, i'm not sure exactly how to do that. I am pretty new with ubuntu. And, it doesn't appear to. I have left it in for quite a while | 01:34 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit you have to copy it exact, otherwise it will not work | 01:35 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: there isnt such file | 01:35 |
| GlimDanten | The first was concerning the wireless network settings. The second was for the thumb drive | 01:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsitL ok maybe you can try this then | 01:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: in terminal > ndiswrapper -m | 01:35 |
| dmi3on | can i run Visual Effects with intel 965 ? | 01:35 |
| OldFarter | trying that brb | 01:36 |
| BigBuddha | hey guys, my walkman is recognized by ubuntu, but i cant delete data from it, it says its msdos? how do i fix this? | 01:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | GlimDanten: again, what wireless adapter do you have? | 01:36 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux; sudo that? | 01:36 |
| zcat[1] | unfortunately some thumbdrives are not standard USB mass storage and only work in certain non-free operating systems. I have no idea why manufactureres think it's a good idea to make them that way, but they do... | 01:36 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux; sudo that? | 01:36 |
| lordfdisk | zcat[1], when I did sudo nano /etc/groups there no list I'm I doing something wrong? | 01:36 |

| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: you may not have to but you can if you need to | 01:36 |

| candive | GlimDanten, Right click on your signal strength meter | 01:36 |

| DozedOnLinux | wingsitL actually not using sudo on some things seems as though it failed or file not found, or things like that. so using sudo is not a bad idea in that | 01:37 |
| GlimDanten | Grayed out | 01:37 |

| DozedOnLinux | wingsit_ : ummm two names oh geez | 01:39 |

| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: what you mean | 01:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: you got that ???????? gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper | 01:40 |
| Knightbd | goodbyegravity_, maybe if I remove the encryption, and format it as a basic NTFS filesystem | 01:40 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux, : yeah | 01:40 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: I am in gedit | 01:40 |
| goodbyegravity_ | Knightbd: Yeah, I think that's the problem. You would have to mount the drive in a special manner to access it with encryption. | 01:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: restart you machine, and try this in terminal (you should see wlan0, if not, ndiswrapper may have been installed incorrect) > ifconfig -a | 01:41 |
| zcat[1] | basically gksu 'respects' the way that GUI programs talk to the desktop. sudo might work by coincidence, but it wasn't designed to work with graphical programs. gksu apparently was. | 01:41 |

| GlimDanten | Two others, actually. It will not mount a Vista burned cd (but that, I think has been stated, is unfixable), and the second and more important, it will not recognise my usb thumb drive | 01:45 |

| andrewaclt | Does anybody know how to disable the Ubuntu icon in the application launcher in the Human gnome theme? | 01:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | GlimDanten: well i don't see why you'd need either of those from a CD, just download the updates since your wireless is working | 01:47 |

| GlimDanten | I am unsure. How can I check? | 01:51 |
| Brian88 | histo: how to add kubuntu cd as a repository in Ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: hmm ok, just as i figured | 01:51 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: a little bit of history, it was working with previous netowrk card, it no longer work after changing new card | 01:51 |

| IndyGunFreak | GlimDanten: system/admin/users and groups... click unlock, enter password, highlight your user, click password, and look at user priv. | 01:52 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: lspci is seeing it, something is stopping it from coming up | 01:52 |
| goodbyegravity_ | lassesandberg: It restarts because you have GDM running, but you have to be outside of X to turn it off, I think. | 01:52 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: indeed | 01:53 |
| Gnea | Lunis: why, there's even a ##windows... how ironic | 01:53 |
| goodbyegravity_ | lassesandberg: Does Alt-Ctrl-F2-F6 work? | 01:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | GlimDanten: second part should be click *properties*... not click passwword, then click user priv. tab | 01:53 |
| lassesandberg | i will try | 01:53 |
| GlimDanten | Yes, it does | 01:53 |

| Gnea | OldFarter: how so? | 01:55 |
| OldFarter | i told gnomes visual efects to stick it | 01:55 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: you can disable any PCI devices in your CMOS that you are sure you dont use. make sure they are not being used. that is a must | 01:55 |
| Gnea | lol | 01:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | GlimDanten: dunno to be truthful... what filesystem is the thumb drive formatted as?.. NTFS? | 01:55 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsti: third and lastly. typical Kernel Options in an attempt to fix a possible conflict | 01:55 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit: other than that , i can give you webpage that may help | 01:56 |

| IndyGunFreak | GlimDanten: wel, your desktop doesn't have Linux on it if i understand correctly | 01:59 |
| goodbyegravity_ | mercutio22: I think you can view the startup logs with the GNOMe "System Log" app, but I'm not sure which one to look at | 01:59 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit_: just a last note: Linux is seeing the card. via lspci | 01:59 |

| Lunis | SkinnYPup, sudo chown user[:group] /path ? | 01:59 |

| TeslaTony | How do I get Gnome to use its normal window manager? Somehow it's using openbox, which I don't really like | 02:03 |
| goodbyegravity_ | mercutio22: And perhaps turn that off. And then there is a file that Linux reads that tells it what modules to load at run-time. I don't remember the name, though. | 02:04 |
| goodbyegravity_ | It may be modules.conf | 02:04 |

| ubottu | jsschmid: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:08 |
| foxnesn | wols: thanks, but which one is the kernel? | 02:08 |
| jsschmid | I have problems installing ubuntu from a usb pen | 02:08 |
| candive | hehehe, chow | 02:08 |
| RG-NewGuy | is there a site that has a nice collection of depends in a compressed format? | 02:08 |
| mikedep333 | wols: none of those addresses the ubuntu alternate installer | 02:08 |
| wols | foxnesn: vmlinuz* | 02:09 |
| DozedOnLinux | TeslaTony: i believe this is what you may be looking for (in terminal do) > sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop | 02:09 |
| TeslaTony | DozedOnLinux: I installed normal, vanilla Ubuntu, added kubuntu-kde4-desktop, then installed LXDE, which is where openbox came from. It's fantastically lightweight, but I want to use the Ubuntu default | 02:09 |
| foxnesn | wols: thanks, i have to modify my kernel to get my wireless card working | 02:09 |
| jsschmid | i tried several guides and always end up with a "could not find kernel image: vmlinuz" message | 02:09 |
| RG-NewGuy | ie .zlib1g libxrender1 libxrandr2 libgtk2.0-bin | 02:09 |
| wols | foxnesn: no you don't. and knowing what file it is certainly won't help you one bit | 02:09 |
| wols | foxnesn: what wlan chip? | 02:09 |
| DozedOnLinux | TeslaTony: yes, i use Openbox, as i have this on an old machine | 02:10 |
| RG-NewGuy | something with a bunch of files that depend on each other but in a nice compressed file so its not surfing and grabing file by file? | 02:10 |
| foxnesn | rt2860 | 02:10 |
| DozedOnLinux | Ralink | 02:10 |
| foxnesn | and according to ralink i need to provide the source of the kernel i the makefile | 02:10 |
| wols | foxnesn: and what do you think you need to do with the linux kernEl file? | 02:10 |
| jsschmid | any ideas what could be wrong? | 02:10 |
| wols | foxnesn: kernel sources are something totally different than the binary. all you should need are headers | 02:11 |
| foxnesn | wols, the directions say i need to supply the source of the kernel file so i can get the ralink driver to work | 02:11 |
| foxnesn | wols: ooooh | 02:11 |
| foxnesn | well then i have that | 02:11 |
| RG-NewGuy | Orginal question, ran across a CD that acted as a repo, is there a site online with a bunch of files ALREADY together in a nice compressed file | 02:11 |

| RG-NewGuy | wols SADLY (and i mean SADLY) my machine with kubuntu has no net access so i've been getting things via flash drive | 02:12 |
| wols_ | !usb | jsschmid | 02:12 |
| ubottu | jsschmid: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 02:12 |
| acidburn | when i try to login in to ubuntu i put in my username and password then hit enter then quarter screen goes white the rest the light brown colour and nothing | 02:13 |
| DozedOnLinux | foxnesn: i use this (right out of box) RT2561/RT61 module rt61pci | 02:13 |
| acidburn | wont login | 02:13 |
| wols_ | kevinO: mkdir folder/subfolder/newfolder | 02:13 |
| acidburn | im a linux noob | 02:13 |
| acidburn | finally migratin from windows | 02:13 |
| jsschmid | wols: within others I also tried this one ... same error | 02:13 |
| wols_ | !aptoncd | RG-NewGuy | 02:13 |
| ubottu | RG-NewGuy: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 02:13 |
| kevinO | wols_, the folder/subfolder/ dont exist yet, can i create them in one shot? | 02:13 |
| foxnesn | DozedOnLinux: that is a diff chipset than mine | 02:13 |
| wols_ | !apt-zip | RG-NewGuy | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-zip | 02:13 |
| wols_ | !aptzip | RG-NewGuy | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aptzip | 02:13 |
| wols_ | RG-NewGuy: look into apt-zip | 02:14 |
| DozedOnLinux | foxnesn: i did however, need to do a kernel option to keep the interface up, as it dropped at random every few minutes or so | 02:14 |
| m1r | hello everyone, i am trying to setup my hostname and on output hostname and hostname -a it shows corect but on terminal it dont show user@hostname but user@h15(without dnydns .homelinux.org) is that correct set ? any tips how to resolve this ? | 02:14 |
| foxnesn | bah. i hate wireless and *nix | 02:14 |
| acidburn | when i try to login in to ubuntu i put in my username and password then hit enter then quarter screen goes white the rest the light brown colour and nothing | 02:14 |
| DozedOnLinux | foxnesn: yes i know, may be somewhat similiar in operation. i needed Kernel Option (just a thought for you)> pci=routeirq | 02:14 |
| kevinO | wols_, ^^ ? | 02:15 |
| andrewaclt | acidburn, sounds like misconfigured xorg, do you know your graphics card? | 02:15 |
| Gun_Smoke | foxnesn, I hear ya.. I'm working on getting wep to play nice... wpa works just fine however... | 02:15 |
| Blaqlight | acidburn, I have the same problem, only way I solved it was to create a new user. | 02:16 |
| jsschmid | anyone? | 02:16 |
| acidburn | intel 945 express chipset family | 02:16 |
| === osmac is now known as os2mac | ||
| wols_ | acidburn: what X driver do you use? | 02:16 |
| Blaqlight | acidburn, it has something to with gnome. | 02:16 |
| Lunis | What is the cause of KDE's apps being doubled in my Gnome menu? It's not that way in XFCE, for what it's worth | 02:17 |
| acidburn | wols not sure wat driver i use sorry total linux noob here | 02:17 |
| DozedOnLinux | X driver ?> dpkg -l xserver-xorg | grep ^ii | 02:17 |
| acidburn | and blaqlight how would i get around this problem | 02:17 |
| Blaqlight | ... again, its not the driver. trust me | 02:17 |
| acidburn | how do i get around it blaqlight | 02:17 |
| Blaqlight | acidburn, when I created a new user everything worked perfectly. | 02:17 |
| acidburn | how do i create a new user | 02:18 |
| acidburn | i can only get in to the command prompt bit | 02:18 |
| Marco | Okay, this is odd | 02:18 |
| acidburn | ctrl+alt+f1 | 02:18 |
| Marco | my wired connection just disconnects and reconnects | 02:18 |
| Marco | every few minutes | 02:18 |
| acidburn | everythin else just crashes on me | 02:18 |
| oyvind | acidburn: System->Administration->Users and groups | 02:18 |
| Blaqlight | CTRL ALT F1 then sudo adduser newuser, then sudo adduser newuser admin | 02:18 |
| acidburn | oyving i cant get into gui | 02:19 |
| andrewaclt | acidburn, useradd -d /home/username -m username | 02:19 |
| Blaqlight | acidburn, CTRL ALT F7 | 02:19 |
| oyvind | acidburn: useradd or adduser | 02:19 |
| Marco | use adduser | 02:19 |
| oyvind | acidburn: yes, adduser | 02:19 |
| foxnesn | anyone know where wpa_supplicant is ? | 02:19 |
| Blaqlight | acidburn, then login using that user. you'll see gnome is broken with that user... a session or something, I just gave up looking for it. | 02:20 |
| acidburn | so type sumfin like adduser -d /home/jimbob -m maximus | 02:20 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: you think that is because the "profile" for that name gets messed up ? | 02:20 |
| andrewaclt | foxnesn, whereis wpa_supplicant | 02:20 |
| Marco | is posting in the forums about intrepid ok? | 02:20 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, it could be, I don't know for sure, mine is still broken though too. | 02:20 |
| phoenix180 | greetins everyone..I have had trouble updating kubuntu hardy and lately now it just takes me to the login screen instead of updating. How can I fix it? | 02:21 |
| andrewaclt | Marco, I think there is a forum specifically for it, maybe not. | 02:21 |
| acidburn | so type sumfin like adduser -d /home/jimbob -m maximus | 02:21 |
| jsschmid | i tried several USB INSTALLATION guides and always end up with a "could not find kernel image: vmlinuz" message. Anyone has an idea? | 02:21 |
| wols_ | !usb | jsschmid | 02:21 |
| ubottu | jsschmid: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 02:21 |
| Blaqlight | !adduser | acidburn | 02:22 |
| ubottu | acidburn: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 02:22 |
| oyvind | acidburn: -m ? Look it up: $ man adduser | 02:22 |
| jsschmid | wols: already tried and already told you.... | 02:22 |
| oyvind | acidburn: adduser USERNAME is the simplest of all invocations .. | 02:22 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: i havent see quite the same issue, "quarter screen" but i have seen no desktop items before. i forget what the real issue was though, as that was some time ago | 02:22 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: nothing works | 02:22 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, mine started like that now it won't even load the non-usable terminal | 02:22 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: stil the same problem, the driver is installed but the card is not up | 02:23 |
| Blaqlight | it all started when I tried running gnome-settings-daemon in openbox, it crashed and then messed up gnome. | 02:23 |
| acidburn | ok guys will check out the ubuntu help page recomended and will try out wat u said will let u know how i get on | 02:23 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: thx a lot anyway | 02:23 |
| acidburn | thanks very much | 02:23 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit_: i ran out of ideas on what you can do with that. i know that the OS sees it, but cant be sure ndiswrapper is doing the job neither. maybe ask around again. someone else may have something for you. i dont see many of that card btw. | 02:24 |
| yuji | is there a way to edit files directly on a server with a gui app on my local machine? like using Kate? | 02:24 |
| andrewaclt | remote desktop? | 02:24 |
| jsschmid | bye | 02:24 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit_: i can only say maybe a CMOS setting or use Kernel Option to hopefully resolve it. it all looks right, just not letting the card be accessed | 02:24 |
| dr_Willis | yuji, you can always some how 'mount' the remote servers directorys/shares locally and use whatver you want. | 02:25 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: that is beyond my ability | 02:25 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit_: ask every now and then, might just get lucky someone else ran into the issue | 02:25 |
| dr_Willis | yuji, many editors support the 'direct editing' of remote files over ftp/ssh/other methods as well | 02:25 |
| wingsit_ | DozedOnLinux: k thx | 02:25 |
| DozedOnLinux | wingsit_: ok | 02:25 |
| yuji | dr_Willis do they? Time to dig around, thank you (i needed some keywords to look for =P) | 02:25 |
| Flapjack | evening gents | 02:25 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, if you have any ideas as to fixing it, Im up for trying.. | 02:26 |
| Masura | evening Flapjack | 02:26 |
| Masura | you alright | 02:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: your X session ? | 02:26 |
| Blaqlight | the issue acidburn had, its the same one Ive had. | 02:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: what video card and desktop manager ? | 02:27 |
| Blaqlight | basically I need to know what gnome uses to launch its sessions... | 02:27 |
| Blaqlight | video card runs better than perfect. | 02:27 |
| Blaqlight | its the gnome sessions things that are corrupted. | 02:28 |
| Flapjack | i am fairly new to the world of linux, and am using SSH to connect to my ubuntu box. can I transfer files from my ubuntu box to other computers on my home network through SSH? | 02:28 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: what kind video card ? | 02:28 |
| andrewaclt | Flapjack, yes | 02:28 |
| dr_Willis | Flapjack, ssh has all sorts of support for that kind of thing. | 02:28 |
| dr_Willis | Flapjack, 'scp' is a command line varient of cp that uses ssh, or theres the various 'ssh filesystem' tools to mount them if you wanted. | 02:28 |
| Flapjack | im so new to ssh and linux, that goes completely over my head | 02:29 |
| Flapjack | but ill definitely look into it | 02:29 |
| andrewaclt | Flapjack, look into sftp or scp | 02:29 |
| Flapjack | thanks for the replies! | 02:29 |
| dr_Willis | Flapjack, time to google for some ssh docs/books/guides.. its a very flexiable tool. :) | 02:29 |
| dr_Willis | Flapjack, amazing the things it can do | 02:29 |
| wols_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 02:29 |
| mrvirus | why would frostwire not start after install if all dependencies are met and no errors were reptorted. | 02:29 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, it has nothing to do with the video driver. | 02:29 |
| dr_Willis | mrvirus, it may not like your version of java. | 02:30 |
| wols_ | mrvirus: start it in an xterm and check the output | 02:30 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: i can do research on the issue, but a video driver used would help me out, quite a bit | 02:30 |
| mrvirus | ok.. which first.. update java or check xterm | 02:30 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, if you insist : Intel 945GM Mobile PCI Express | 02:31 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: hey if you have old card, dont be ashamed, i am using nvidia mx440 with 64mb , not very hot card, but it works | 02:31 |
| mrvirus | Dr willis how would i check my installed version of java to see if it needs updating | 02:31 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: ok i will do some research . you come here often enough, that, if i find anything good, will let you know | 02:31 |
| mrvirus | java --version | 02:31 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, the video driver/card is running fine, its all about the broken gnome session. | 02:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | ok | 02:32 |
| BigBuddha | hey guys, my walkman is recognized by ubuntu, but i cant delete data from it, it says its msdos? how do i fix this? | 02:32 |
| Blaqlight | people still use walkman's? | 02:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | lol | 02:35 |
| mercutio22 | Guys I am having a hard time finding out what is making my gnome login time so lengthy. Can someone (who has a reasonable login time, i.e. less then 60s) paste a pic of his/her gnome session app order? | 02:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: people still use windows 3.11 :) | 02:36 |
| mercutio22 | anyone really | 02:36 |
| Flapjack | last SSH question, I swear. | 02:36 |
| Flapjack | can I shutdown my ubuntu box with ssh? | 02:36 |
| Flapjack | i dont feel like hooking a monitor back to the box | 02:36 |
| matt_ | I have a question: Whats the best way to work on Code Remotely, Right now im using X11 over SSH with compression but its still very slow from where I am away from my server | 02:36 |
| andrewaclt | Flapjack, shutdown -h now | 02:36 |
| Flapjack | you da man! | 02:36 |
| Blaqlight | ack, they are tortured enough,,, I will not continue the process. | 02:36 |
| matt_ | Is it worth learning Emacs to code trough just a terminal | 02:37 |
| andrewaclt | Flapjack, -r instead of -h would reboot | 02:37 |
| matt_ | I work with php so color highlighting is important | 02:37 |
| andrewaclt | Flapjack, you can also set it to shutdown in the future | 02:37 |
| Flapjack | as in, shutdown -h 15min? | 02:37 |
| andrewaclt | matt_, Vim has syntax highlighting as well | 02:37 |
| matt_ | for php? I know emacs supports it but you need some add on | 02:38 |
| burkesbythebay | how do i install ubuntu-manager in hardy | 02:38 |
| mrvirus | is there a defualt directory for java installation | 02:38 |
| acidburn | hey guys i created a new user succesfully like u said still same problem | 02:38 |

| Lithium_Ionic | BigBuddha: No problem, hope you get it figured out. | 02:40 |

| orgthingy | mib : so? | 02:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | selocol: sudo fdisk, or i believe sudo df might also tell you what you want(but fdisk definitely will) | 02:46 |
| acidburn | do i do the apt-get install kde | 02:46 |
| dr_Willis | What is with all the idiotic msg spams im getting tonight... egsds. | 02:46 |

| IndyGunFreak | dr_Willis: you mean you h ave no use for information about a male bra?.. :) | 02:46 |
| orgthingy | I dont know why, it's just i dislike KDE and XFCE | 02:46 |
| orgthingy | WHY | 02:46 |

| dmi3on | tremby, i whant control ubuntu from vista | 02:55 |
| Zelbinian | Anyone know how to get Ubuntu to allow me to share files on a local network? | 02:55 |
| dmi3on | tremby, i guess vista is server | 02:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | wait about 2-3 weeks before you blow windows away... everyone runs into problems... | 02:56 |
| tremby | dmi3on: ubuntu will be running the server in that case. | 02:56 |
| tremby | dmi3on: sudo apt-get install vncserver | 02:56 |
| dmi3on | tremby, ok can i PM you ? | 02:56 |
| acidburn | ive run into numerous probs today gettin my broadcom wireless card workin was the worst | 02:56 |
| Zelbinian | Got Samba installed already and my user account has share permissions. | 02:56 |
| acidburn | god damn frustratin | 02:56 |
| tremby | dmi3on: sure | 02:56 |
| torenhonig | samba.conf | 02:56 |
| acidburn | but i guess once i iron out all the cracks ill b sorted i hope | 02:56 |
| Flapjack | setting up samba is quite the headache | 02:56 |
| Flapjack | atleast for me it was | 02:56 |
| Zelbinian | Awesome lol | 02:57 |
| acidburn | thats the point even with windows on a fresh install i still spend days gettin it the way i like it | 02:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | acidburn: broadcom is just a pain, some devices work out of the box(Intel), some work very easily w/ Madwifi(Atheros), and some of the others are difficult(Broadcom and Ralink() | 02:57 |
| Zelbinian | I've been following along on a tutorial, but I've gotten to a point where the directions are different from what I'm seeing. | 02:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | i personally have madwifi, so i can't relate too the pain broadcom users have | 02:57 |
| Zelbinian | So I could use a nudge :) | 02:57 |

| acidburn | i know my intel graphics card etc seemed to install ok and the processor had no probs only prob i had hardware wise was my wireless | 02:58 |
| ari_stress | good morning all | 02:58 |
| paradizelost | anyone know where i should look? | 02:58 |
| benny269 | how do i join a channel with an address like irc//irc.whatnet.org:6667/...... | 02:59 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest23625 | ||
| gaelfx | does it happen to anyone else that torrent programs seem to 'block' updates from being downloaded? | 02:59 |
| paradizelost | benny, that's not an address, that's a server | 02:59 |
| === charlie is now known as Guest12665 | ||
| paradizelost | you'd use /server irc.whatnet.org | 02:59 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, perhaps I don't remember, I need to possibly turn off the copiz if its on but can't because gnome doesn't fully load. | 03:00 |
| benny269 | paradizelost: and what is 6667? | 03:00 |
| paradizelost | the standard irc port IIRC | 03:00 |
| gaelfx | benny269: port number | 03:00 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: do you rune Wine, does it do similiar with that as well ? | 03:00 |
| gaelfx | oops, haha, too slow | 03:00 |
| paradizelost | anyone have experience installing 8.04 on an nvidia 680i raid? | 03:01 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, does gnome refuse to fully run if Im running wine... uhm wine run on top of gnome, not gnome on top of wine. | 03:01 |
| paradizelost | SuSe works out of the box | 03:01 |
| benny269 | paradizelost: i tried this on my pc and xchat automatically joined the right channel when i put that address into the browser. does this not work under ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| KurtKraut | I've just installed Ubuntu Server over a Virtualbox machine and it is unable to boot saying the installed kernel is not compatible with the CPU. But Virtualbox is emulatin an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU ! | 03:01 |
| paradizelost | but i don't want suse... | 03:01 |
| paradizelost | benny269: depends on how you have the link associations set up | 03:01 |
| Vooloo | my shift key stopped working in compiz only, is there a possiblity to reset the entire keyboard configuration without re-installing everything? I tried all possible guis ... | 03:02 |
| DozedOnLinux | Blaqlight: ok | 03:02 |
| gaelfx | paradizelost: no, but if you are interested in trying some neat drivers (probably with NDISWrapper) I might be able to tell you site to download them | 03:02 |
| BSG75 | anyone know how I can install ecore packages under ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| acidburn | there is a way i had to do it today through the terminal vooloo | 03:02 |
| paradizelost | gaelfx: umm ndiswrapper is for wifi drivers isn't it? :P | 03:02 |
| acidburn | if u google reset keyboard region ull find it | 03:02 |
| gaelfx | paradizelost: it's a different raid driver than nvidia gives, but it's supposed to be better | 03:02 |
| acidburn | sorry i cant member wat it is | 03:02 |
| gaelfx | paradizelost: you can use it for other drivers too | 03:03 |
| Sylphid | !fakeraid | paradizelost | 03:03 |

| Lithium_Ionic | acidburn: Did the gnome problem come after the wireless setup? | 03:03 |
| acidburn | yeah | 03:03 |
| gaelfx | paradizelost: ndis is just a prog to make the driver think it's running in win, doesn't matter that much what the driver is for | 03:03 |
| acidburn | wireless was my first fing i sorted | 03:03 |
| Blaqlight | DozedOnLinux, how about this : does gnome log its startup progress somewhere? | 03:03 |
| solexious | how can i edit my ipconfig file? | 03:03 |
| gaelfx | Blaqlight: is that info not in syslog? | 03:03 |
| paradizelost | gaelfx: the fakeraid will probably do the trick | 03:04 |
| paradizelost | i'll take a close look | 03:04 |
| KurtKraut | Is it possible to use Ubuntu Server in a Virtualbox virtual machine ? | 03:04 |
| Blaqlight | gaelfx, so if gnome has a problem starting up it should be there yes? | 03:04 |
| acidburn | then i added a few apps had a few restaRTS since that think it myta been sumfin i installed at screwed me up lithium | 03:04 |
| gaelfx | paradizelost: ooh, haven't heard of that, do you have url for it? | 03:04 |
| gaelfx | Blaqlight: chances are it should be | 03:04 |
| gaelfx | Blaqlight: lemme check mine real quick and make sure | 03:05 |
| acidburn | i installed that theme fing | 03:05 |
| acidburn | emerald | 03:05 |
| foxnesn | ok, so i got ra0 working in the kernel and i entered info for /etc/network/interfaces and i edited wpa_supplicant.conf now how do i get the wireless device to connect?? | 03:05 |
| acidburn | fink it myta been that maybe | 03:05 |
| paradizelost | gaelfx: it's one of the links that Sylphid sent | 03:05 |
| paradizelost | thanks Sylphid!! | 03:05 |
| solexious | ignore me | 03:05 |
| Sylphid | paradizelost, no prob | 03:05 |

| acidburn | works a charm | 03:06 |
| startr3k | if i have two drives (SAS , SSD), if i combine the two via LVM into one volgroup, what would happen to the speeds? | 03:06 |
| gaelfx | Blaqlight: dang sorry, my vlc syslogging wiped out my startup log, so not sure, but you should definitely give it a look | 03:06 |
| Blaqlight | lol my log is full of errors... this gonna be fun | 03:07 |
| paradizelost | startr3k: depends what kind of LVM you set up | 03:07 |
| paradizelost | startr3k: a stripe will be fast, a mirror will be normal, etc... | 03:07 |

| Switchcat | Q: I have two console sessions that are totally borked. (In other words, they're showing totally unreadable garbage characters). I logged out of them but still the same problem. I believe that there is some sort of cntrl-command to get it to fix those sessions so they are back to normal text, but don't remember them. Any suggestions? (I don't think it should matter, but I'm running ubuntu 8.04) thanks | 03:21 |

| dr_Willis | kelvin911, wacky. You could try making a totally new user - see if its still a user setting issue.. go to the console (alt-ctrl-f1) and try 'sudo adduser testuser' , then logout and try logging in as 'testuser' see if that users keyboard works... | 03:54 |

| kelvin911 | i find that the account i have problem has accessibility feature turns on in keyboard preference | 04:07 |

| mrvirus | pyrak : what's the problem? | 04:08 |
| kelvin911 | let me switch user | 04:08 |
| dr_Willis | kelvin911, well if you knew where gnome saved those settings at. you could delte the config files from your old not-working-right--account, or figure out where to disable them | 04:08 |
| Rhorse | yakkob, try restoring with alsactl | 04:08 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, well, i can connect to my home server from outside my lan just fine for ssh. but for http, it only works inside the lan | 04:08 |
| wigren | my brother has a nvidia gforce 7600gt. I've just installed 8.04 and installed the proprietary graphics driver. now the monitor shuts off when it gets to the login screen | 04:09 |

| kelvin911 | i got it work now | 04:09 |
| kelvin911 | i uncheck the accessibilty option in keyboard not works fine | 04:10 |
| kelvin911 | why does it happen? | 04:10 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, hm. not that i know of. i should mention that there's a wireless router involved in all of this. however, it's forwarding ports correctly. i believe | 04:10 |
| yakkob | Rhorse how do i do that? | 04:10 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, the box is running ubuntu hardy | 04:10 |
| Zeroyez | Q: Cedega or WINE? | 04:11 |
| kelvin911 | is it becasue i was playing ET? pressing a,w,s,d,shift, caplock, space at teh same time too often? | 04:11 |
| Rhorse | yakkob, first run sudo find -name asound.state from the root dir | 04:11 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, i don't think i specifically installed the server version. however, i did not install a GUI | 04:11 |
| Zeroyez | I be playin Crysis and CS 1.6 | 04:11 |
| kelvin911 | brb | 04:11 |
| Zeroyez | I dun even know what Cedega is but people say it's good for games | 04:12 |
| Ziroday | Zeroyez: cedega is better for games (supposodly) | 04:12 |
| Zeroyez | lol | 04:12 |
| Ziroday | Zeroyez: however you have to pay for it | 04:12 |
| Ziroday | Zeroyez: wine is free | 04:12 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, any ideas? | 04:12 |
| mrvirus | pyrak : little beyond my knowledge. i was thinkin it was a firewall issue.. but doesnt seem to be. | 04:13 |
| mrvirus | or even a possible router problem | 04:13 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, well i think it's set up correctly. i'm thinking it might be my isp | 04:14 |
| meoblast001 | i haz a question | 04:14 |
| mrvirus | pyrak : possibly blockin port 80 inbound | 04:14 |
| meoblast001 | is a quad core worth it with Ubuntu? | 04:14 |
| dr_Willis | meoblast001, ubuntu can make full use of it... question is.. can you... :) | 04:15 |
| pyrak | mrvirus, thanks for your help! | 04:15 |
| mrvirus | pyrak : no problem.. do what i can | 04:15 |
| mrvirus | dr_willis gota java update question if you got time | 04:15 |
| dr_Willis | mrvirus, ive rarely had to mess wih Java | 04:15 |
| Zeroyez | looks like I'm stuck with WINE | 04:16 |
| mrvirus | ok what bout using frostwire p2p | 04:16 |
| dr_Willis | Wine can play most games as well as Cedega does | 04:16 |
| meoblast001 | dr_Willis: well.. i have FL Studio in Wine... and that runs terrible on my Intel Pentium M mobile processor... i want to build a computer that can make awesome songs in FL Studio, with Compiz-Fusion running, Pidgin, XChat, Firefox... would a quad core be a good option? | 04:16 |
| dr_Willis | meoblast001, no idea on that. Your current CPU is rather.... wimpy. So it wont hurt I guess. | 04:16 |
| waey | where d i can see a list of linux commands (ubuntu)? | 04:16 |
| Pici | !cli | waey | 04:17 |

| Silent12 | i am dsl | 04:36 |
| yakkob | when I select OSS the test works but I don't get any other sounds through it. | 04:36 |
| chronographer | look at ubuntu help for pppoe | 04:36 |
| dr_Willis | chronographer, ktorrent has those features, or you could use wine and utorrent.exe there may be others. | 04:36 |
| Rhorse | yakkob, it's prolly something simple. Volume ctl somewhere? | 04:36 |
| gmg | what router you have Silent12 | 04:36 |
| scurker | Everything worked fine in 7.04, but when I upgraded to 8.04 no more two x screens. | 04:37 |
| chronographer | ktorrent has a large footprint | 04:37 |
| yakkob | Rhorse I am sure it is. Because i never had trouble in gutsy and windows. | 04:37 |
| chronographer | anyone got torrentflux to time schedule | 04:37 |
| yakkob | even hardy kubuntu was fine. | 04:37 |

| Rhorse | oh, I am afraid of Pulseaudio. | 04:38 |
| gmg | ok there in some where you heve an option of ppoe connection Silent12 | 04:38 |
| Rhorse | I don't use it | 04:38 |
| chronographer | Silent12: type F1 then search for pppoe. There is a nice command line utility called "pppoe" which I used long ago, you run it from the terminal and it asks you questions an dconnects automatically on login if you want it to | 04:38 |
| yakkob | Can i get rid of it? | 04:38 |
| Silent12 | nope | 04:38 |
| Rhorse | did you install it from the repos? | 04:39 |

| dr_Willis | KINGABAN, that old a card would use the nvidia-glx-legacy driver I do recall... | 04:39 |
| Rhorse | OH, I'd be careful. I'd do a simulated -s switch with apt-get to see what it wants to remove. | 04:40 |

| Random1162 | ive had this problem before | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard4: I mean that if you give a relative path it will start from the user's home folder, so "user@host:file" is the same as "user@host:/home/user/file" | 05:04 |

| renegade420 | How can I write files from my eeepc running gusty to my 80 gb classic ipod? | 05:04 |

| dr_Willis | mrvirus, its -version NOT --version | 05:04 |
| infinitycircuit | tj83, you shouldn't need anything in that file really | 05:05 |
| gmg | yes k4r1m | 05:05 |
| k4r1m | how do i restart alsa again? | 05:05 |
| tj83 | infinitycircuit, well it plainly says after installing dhcp it "must" be configured. | 05:05 |

| mrvirus | willis : let's see if frostwire will start now :D | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard4: Did you type "yes" ? | 05:07 |
| gmg | If you get an "init_module: No such device" error when you run this modprobe command, make sure that you uninstall all the sound related modules first. Use lsmod to check the installed modules and rmmod to uninstall. Then modprobe the new modules. See Troubleshooting for other solutions. To make module loading permanent, you have to add these lines to /etc/modules.con k4r1m | 05:07 |
| tj83 | infinitycircuit, if you have it... will you please pastebin your file? | 05:07 |
| infinitycircuit | tj83, i misunderstood your question sorry i can't help | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | renegade420: Is it mac formatted ( hfs+ ) or windows formatted ( fat32 ) ? | 05:08 |
| k4r1m | hm i dont think u uderstand | 05:08 |

| Jordan_U | k4r1m: System -> Preferences -> Sound | 05:11 |
| LSD|Ninja | pulse sits on top of alsa, you can set it to output straight to alsa if yo uwant | 05:11 |
| k4r1m | yes im there..thats how i know that alsa is not working and pulseaudio is... | 05:11 |

| k4r1m | so i wanna stay with alsa | 05:12 |
| Random1162 | k4r1m: you using an Intel Processor? | 05:12 |

| Random1162 | Fail | 05:12 |
| k4r1m | why so? | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | renegade420: Unfortunately linux can't write to journaled hfs+, it can write to it if you disable journaling but then you might as well make life easier and reformat to fat32 and reload your music | 05:12 |
| Random1162 | Intel doesnt like 8.04 | 05:12 |
| Random1162 | at least thats what ive found | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | renegade420: And you will need OSX to disable the journaling | 05:13 |
| k4r1m | thats good to know, now i shall go back to vistablows again? | 05:13 |
| Random1162 | k4r1m: did you start with 7.10? | 05:13 |

| k4r1m | so anybody actually wants to help me instead of telling me to go use pulseaudio? | 05:14 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, so you suspeneded.. it broke sound.. if you reboot - sound is still broken? | 05:14 |
| Jordan_U | k4r1m: That's odd, since pulseaudio uses alsa I don't understand how pulseaudio can work but not alsa, make sure everything is set to alsa and that no programs are still open that are trying to use pulse | 05:14 |
| Jordan_U | renegade420: Yes | 05:15 |
| sisto | k4r1m: have you tried this link? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 | 05:15 |

| LSD|Ninja | If you want PulseAudio annoyances, upgrade to Intrepid. It has a "feature" where it thinks the PC speaker is a valid output device so every time you log in, itsounds like the HDD is crashing | 05:16 |

| heosnaga | chronographer: not its not a waste of time... | 05:22 |
| IdleOne | k4r1m, I understand what you are saying. All I am trying to say is that you can't expect people to go back and re-read everything so that means that you may have to answer the same question a few times but if you answer with " I said it before" well then expect to not be helped | 05:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | compiling = fail :) | 05:22 |
| holycow | spyrorocks: disable effects mybe | 05:22 |
| Blaqlight | gentoo has portage... which is a package manager also. | 05:22 |
| dr_Willis | Only way i know of to totally disable pulse audio - is to run somting other then gnome. :P | 05:23 |

| Jordan_U | kelvinq: GDM starts as root then does some fancy stuff when you actually log in | 05:35 |
| phdmybest | dr_Willis: i decompressed initrd.img for customed boot script.but i could not find linuxrc | 05:35 |
| felipe__ | how do I "provide" a ttf file to spumux in ubuntu hardy? | 05:35 |
| Blaqlight | Bigb252, nice... wait somewhat? | 05:35 |
| phdmybest | dr_Willis: i wonder if there is a linuxrc file on ubuntu | 05:36 |
| kelvinq | Jordan_U: thanks. i'm running a minimum spec PC and was trying to avoid fancy stuff. haha. | 05:36 |
| dr_Willis | phdmybest, none that 'locate' can find here. | 05:36 |

| heosnaga | <Sheri-Preston> Are you a guy? Do you wear a bra? If you answered yes to both questions, great! But if you are a guy and do not wear a bra, I highly recommend trying out wearing a bra for a day. Any bra will do. I am a guy who started wearing a bra daily and will never go without wearing a bra again. It feels great and is an amazing experience. I recommend all guys to try wearing a bra today. <<<< WTF ??? | 05:36 |
| spyrorocks | OK, i am on my other laptop | 05:36 |
| isakey | ban heosnaga | 05:37 |
| Blaqlight | heosnaga, just erase it, please don't post that garbage in here. | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | kelvinq: GDM really shouldn't add much ( especially since you already have most of its dependencies from XFCE )\ | 05:37 |
| heosnaga | isakey: why me | 05:37 |
| spyrorocks | whenever i boot i go into the ubuntu login screen, after i login my screen goes black. | 05:37 |
| Zeroye1 | how do i delete an entry from the applications menu | 05:37 |
| dr_Willis | heosnaga, one reason to rember how to ignore all msg's | 05:37 |
| isakey | heosnaga: cuz you spread AIDS | 05:37 |
| Blaqlight | ouch | 05:37 |
| dr_Willis | spyrorocks, ive seen such things happen with ATI video cards and the fglrx driver. | 05:37 |
| heosnaga | K sorry guys | 05:37 |
| spyrorocks | it was working, but then i tried to screw around with the resoultion settings and it went black | 05:38 |
| kelvinq | Jordan_U: thanks for that. | 05:38 |

| phdmybest | /home/zdb/桌面/lbcd-0.1/resources/linuxrc.c | 05:38 |
| phdmybest | i wonder there is not a linuxrc in initrd.img on ubuntu | 05:38 |
| Blaqlight | isakey, that was completely uncalled for man/lady. | 05:38 |
| felipe__ | sorry, stupid question | 05:38 |
| lostogre | Maybe. You should check with VMWare support. A 64bit host should support either 32bit or 64bit clients. If VMWare doesn't support it try VirtualBox. There is an open source version. | 05:38 |

| spyrorocks | I am just going to try and reinstall ubuntu then | 05:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShdwShinobi: what video card? | 05:40 |
| felipe__ | now, If I split an avi in video and audio with transcode and after converting to mpg join them, is there a size difference with the mpg generated by ffmpeg? | 05:40 |
| dr_Willis | phdmybest, cant say that ive ever explored the contents of initrd.img - so no idea. | 05:40 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: how did you change resolution? did u use "screen resolution" or change xorg.conf file? | 05:40 |

| * LSD|Ninja wishes the GNOME "Screen Resolution" capplet would die | 05:40 | |
| k4r1m | hey guys one more thing, how could automount a drive on startup? the drive is there but everytime i boot up my pc i need to go to "places -> hd " and then the drive will be mounted.. | 05:41 |
| * ShdwShinobi wishes the same | 05:41 | |
| lostogre | felipe__: you can specify the size the ffmpeg outputs. | 05:41 |
| m4lmsteen | i done some sort of command that is supposed to start my system in text mode only... now gnome wont load correctly... nor can i get fluxbox to start... says 'unable to connect to xserver) | 05:41 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, internal or exernal? You could edit the /etc/fstab as needed | 05:41 |
| m4lmsteen | im on via bitchx now... so any help would be appreciated | 05:41 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShdwShinobi: And it starts up outputting to DVI and then Ubuntu forcefully switches it back to VGA? | 05:41 |
| spyrorocks | Ill pay someone $20.00 via PayPal if they can assist me in solving my ubuntu graphics issues. | 05:41 |
| k4r1m | dr_Willis: its internal, i will go check that out ;] | 05:41 |
| ShdwShinobi | Right, on boot up... works fine. For terminal.. works fine. Only when it's dealing with the xserver it seems to be VGA only | 05:41 |
| felipe__ | lostogre: sorry, I mean file size (MB) | 05:41 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: you can try to modify the xorg.conf file and remove the resolutions you know your monitor can't handle | 05:42 |
| bhanuprakash | hey how to resize the / partition... | 05:42 |
| ShdwShinobi | otherwise it just clones the displays | 05:42 |
| lostogre | felipe__: it all depends on the compression rate. | 05:42 |
| phdmybest | dr_Willis: thank you so much.there are some thing that i must figure out. | 05:42 |
| lostogre | MrObvious: did you get that last post? | 05:43 |
| bhanuprakash | can some one help me out in resizing the root partition | 05:43 |
| felipe__ | lostogre: so then what's the point on splitting audio and video with transcode if you can skip all the fancy steps and use one simple ffmpeg command? there is no advantage at all in using transcode? | 05:43 |
| m4lmsteen | anyone have an idea how i can get my graphical login back ? | 05:43 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShdwShinobi: And it worked fine while you were installing? | 05:43 |
| ShdwShinobi | Yep | 05:43 |
| spyrorocks | I am just going to reinstall ubuntu. | 05:43 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: ok | 05:44 |
| k4r1m | dr_Willis: what do i need to change? or do i need to add a new or what? | 05:44 |
| m4lmsteen | exit | 05:44 |

| === Pasdf2 is now known as Needlework | ||
| lostogre | felipe__: If you split the video and audio with transcode, you can keep the audio quality the same, otherwise I don't know if transcode will leave the audio intact. | 05:44 |
| spyrorocks | Where is xorg.config located? | 05:44 |
| MrObvious | lostogre: No sorry. | 05:44 |
| MrObvious | lostogre: You have to tab complete to get my attention. | 05:44 |
| lostogre | Ok. | 05:45 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:45 |
| bhanuprakash | spyrocks:/etc/x11/xorg.conf | 05:45 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: Thank you | 05:45 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShdwShinobi: Sounds like Ubuntu has "helpfully" picked the wrong device ID card. If that's the case then you might be able to get it back by simply editing xorg.conf to point to the right one | 05:45 |
| felipe__ | lostogre: so using ffmpeg implies a loss on audio quality? | 05:45 |
| lostogre | You should check with VMWare support. A64bit host should support either 32bit or 64bit clients. If VMWare doesn't support it try VirtualBox. There is an open source version. | 05:45 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: you could just try removing the resolutions which are too high and reboot before reinstalling | 05:45 |
| MTecknology | so.... how can I launch the sound applet from a terminal? (Where is it?) - I absolutely can't find it - i've been looking for a while | 05:45 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, the format of the /etc/fstab file is documented all over. Use the existing entries as a example. You do not have to use the UUID type format.. butyou can. | 05:45 |
| dr_Willis | !uuid | k4r1m | 05:46 |
| ubottu | k4r1m: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:46 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: I cannot access ubuntu desktop at all | 05:46 |
| sisto | but can you use the console? | 05:46 |
| ShdwShinobi | LSD|Ninja, what would I have to change. There's no BusID specified. So I added that in and tried using 1:0:0 and 1:0:0 (lspci said it was 01:00.0 and 01:00.1) | 05:46 |
| mrvirus | any one in here use mldonkey that could help me set it up | 05:47 |
| ShdwShinobi | Needless to say, didn't work | 05:47 |
| bhanuprakash | hey.some one there to help me how to resize the root partition | 05:47 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: I can only get as far as the login screen | 05:47 |
| sisto | ok | 05:47 |
| sisto | while being in there press ctrl+alt+f1 | 05:47 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: Can I get terminal on the login screen? | 05:47 |
| spyrorocks | ok | 05:47 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShdwShinobi: Then I have no idea then, I've never bothered with Linux on anything dual head with DVI in the mix | 05:47 |
| spyrorocks | ok | 05:47 |
| FloodBot1 | spyrorocks: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:47 |
| k4r1m | dr_Willis: now i just added it and save it rite? | 05:47 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: did u get a console? | 05:47 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: Need to reboot | 05:48 |
| ShdwShinobi | ok, thanks anyways LSD|Ninja | 05:48 |
| lostogre | MrObvious: You should check with VMWare support. A64bit host should support either 32bit or 64bit clients. If VMWare doesn't support it try VirtualBox. There is an open source version. | 05:48 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, assuming you made a proper entry. :) it should auto mount at boot. | 05:48 |
| k4r1m | the output i got was "/dev/sdb1: UUID="AC005B87005B5782" LABEL="My Files" TYPE="ntfs" " | 05:48 |
| azimuth3d | spyrorocks << Set in Apperance -> login windows | 05:48 |
| k4r1m | whats the format of the entry? | 05:48 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, thats not the proper entry for the fstab. Use the existing entrys as an example. and check the !fstab factoid | 05:48 |
| dr_Willis | !fstab | k4r1m | 05:48 |
| ubottu | k4r1m: 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 | 05:48 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, if its a ntfs you may want to look into the ntfs-3g factoid also for ntfs specific things to watch out for | 05:49 |
| k4r1m | what is ntfs-3g? | 05:49 |
| MrObvious | ty lostogre | 05:49 |
| k4r1m | !ntfs-3g | 05:49 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 05:49 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: I have terminal. | 05:49 |

| dr_Willis | UUID=FE28D6DA28D690CF /media/winstorage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 | 05:50 |
| spyrorocks | Now what? | 05:50 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, its what lets linxu read/write ntfs filesystems | 05:50 |
| lostogre | MrObvious: Try virtualbox. | 05:50 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: you can read the xorg.conf file by typing less /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:50 |
| MrObvious | lostogre: TY. | 05:50 |
| k4r1m | ok i will copy urs and change the uuid and directory of the hd..but whats the last two args for the 0 and 1 and i know whats the utf for | 05:50 |

| xelapond | my apt is really screwed up | 05:51 |

| lostogre | MrObvious: What is TY? | 05:52 |
| sisto | somewhere | 05:52 |
| k4r1m | /media/My Files/ is the wrong format rite? it should be /media/My\ Files/ ? | 05:52 |
| xelapond | every time I try and install a program, it tries to install emacs | 05:52 |
| xelapond | which fails to byte compile, so I can't install anything | 05:52 |
| m4lmsteen | i know its update somethin yada rc.2 just dont remember and can't really google right now | 05:52 |
| xelapond | anyone know how I can fix this? | 05:52 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: or this: Modes "1280x1024@75" "1280x960@60" "1152x864@75" "1280x1024@60" | 05:52 |

| Ahadiel | k4r1m, If a path has spaces in it, you can either use \ or put quotes around it. (") | 05:52 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: Nothing like that in my xorg.conf | 05:53 |
| k4r1m | Ahadiel: thx | 05:53 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, dont use spaces.. it causes all sorts of problems | 05:53 |
| k4r1m | yeah i know | 05:53 |
| k4r1m | i only use spaces in bash scripts ;] | 05:53 |
| dr_Willis | k4r1m, like the use of 'My Files" vs "Files" really makes it more clear.... | 05:53 |
| k4r1m | w\e lol | 05:53 |
| k4r1m | doesnt matter | 05:53 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: hmm.. maybe in hardy they removed that stuff | 05:53 |
| dr_Willis | its not "Your Files" its "My Files" Mine Mine Mine! :P | 05:53 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: Should I get gutsy? | 05:54 |

| lordfdisk | Zeroye1, if it's a crack and edited file ... it would be in your hidden wine folder | 06:03 |
| ppcguy | 800x600 is a good baseline to start @ | 06:03 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: you can also set the refresh rate with -r | 06:03 |
| sisto | to go back to gdm press ctrl+alt+F7 | 06:03 |
| sisto | and see if the resolution isn't messed up anymore | 06:03 |
| lordfdisk | Zeroye1, is that what you mean | 06:03 |
| Jason2gs | Can someone tell me how good the support is for the Logitech G15 keyboard? It's pretty popular, and my current keyboard is quite loud :p | 06:04 |
| ppcguy | that's assuming one can get to/see the gdm | 06:04 |
| Zeroye1 | nah, alacarte was what i needed thanks | 06:04 |
| taromsn | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a IBM Thinkpad T30, but it's hanging on "Installing system, 15%, Detecting file systems..." There's no noise coming from the laptop anymore | 06:04 |
| Zeroye1 | damn i need to figure out how to get vsync to work on CS it's running at 240 fps and my monitor only goes 75 :( | 06:04 |
| Ahadiel | Jason2gs, Mine's working fine, however not alot of applications have support for the LCD. | 06:05 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: restarting | 06:05 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: i think xrandr doesn't save the settings | 06:05 |
| Jason2gs | Alrighty, thank you =] | 06:05 |
| sisto | you need to be logged on into X windows to change the resolution with xrandr | 06:05 |
| Jason2gs | That's the only complaint? | 06:05 |
| TeslaTony | For some reason Gnome is using openbox as the window manager, and I'd like it to switch back to what it was using (Compiz? What it is shipped with). How do I do this? | 06:05 |
| Jason2gs | The macro keys and such work fine? | 06:06 |
| spyrorocks | I tried this | 06:06 |
| spyrorocks | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom | 06:06 |
| spyrorocks | md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf |sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum | 06:06 |
| spyrorocks | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:06 |
| Ahadiel | Jason2gs, Hrm, haven't actually tried those, but I'd assume you can bind them. | 06:06 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: that might fix it | 06:06 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: Nope, screen still blanks out as soona s I login | 06:07 |
| sisto | ok | 06:07 |
| ppcguy | what res did you pick spyrorocks? | 06:07 |
| ppcguy | i.e. did you go through the config utility? | 06:07 |
| Ahadiel | Jason2gs, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15 Not sure if it's any help, as it is flagged out of date, but it *should* get you on the right track. | 06:07 |
| spyrorocks | I picked... damn I forget | 06:07 |
| sisto | try ctrl+alt+f1, change resolution with xrandr, then ctrl+alt+f7 to see if it's ok | 06:07 |
| Zeroye1 | aha cool catalyst has an option to enable a global vsync | 06:08 |
| ppcguy | sisto's advice is also good. I remember the first time I used dpkg it took a few tries to get it right. But you get the hang of it | 06:08 |
| dr_Willis | Im not sure that running xrandr from the console will work.. unless you do some other things first. | 06:08 |
| chronographer | bhanuprakash: did you get that root partition resized? | 06:08 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: OK | 06:08 |
| spyrorocks | sisto: it says monitor :0 doesnt exist | 06:09 |
| chronographer | xrandr is quite cool, it turns on my tv-out (s-video) and then in my litle shell script it starts mplayer an dthen turns of the tv-out! cool huh! | 06:09 |
| sisto | spyrorocks: try: ps xaf | grep X | 06:09 |
| spyrorocks | ok | 06:09 |
| _orly_owl__ | What do I need to edit in menu.lst to boot from a SATA drive? | 06:10 |
| sisto | I get something like this... " /usr/bin/X :0 ... " | 06:10 |
| sisto | :0 is the display | 06:10 |
| sisto | you might get :1 ?? | 06:10 |
| ppcguy | I get :0 and :1 here for a dual setup. Default should be 0 | 06:11 |
| spyrorocks | /usr/sbin/hcid -x -s | 06:11 |
| sisto | I guess if it doesn't work you should go back to what ppcguy suggested | 06:11 |
| spyrorocks | what was his suggestion again? | 06:11 |
| spyrorocks | Did I miss it?> | 06:11 |
| ppcguy | sisto:dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:11 |
| ppcguy | @ the command line. This time remember or write down the res you pick | 06:12 |
| ppcguy | as it might take you a few tries to get it right | 06:12 |

| arrrghhh | can i use vlc to convert file formats? | 06:14 |
| chronographer | avidemux is pretty good | 06:14 |
| arrrghhh | yea i've used avidemux | 06:15 |
| lostogre | arrrghhh: yeah, but its slow and mplayer does a better job. | 06:15 |
| dr_Willis | i thought avidemux used mplayer and other tools to do the actual work | 06:15 |
| sisto | arrrghhh: yes you can use vlc | 06:15 |
| arrrghhh | mplayer? | 06:15 |
| arrrghhh | avidemux i think uses ffmpeg mostly | 06:15 |
| Zeroye1 | i can't get alacarte to see custom created menu items | 06:15 |
| arrrghhh | and vlc does as well i believe | 06:16 |
| prymal_ | does anyone have a suggestion as to why youtube won't work for me?! | 06:16 |
| dr_Willis | it can use several of the tools | 06:16 |
| sisto | arrrghhh: vlc is sort of a front end for ffmpeg | 06:16 |
| prymal_ | flash installed, but it won't display the video window at all, no controls, nothign! | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | ja | 06:16 |
| sisto | arrrghhh: you can also use ffmpeg | 06:16 |
| PineHead | in ubuntiu what is the directiory that contains the init directories? | 06:16 |
| Zeroye1 | i can create them in alacarte and they appear in the applications menu properly but don't show up in alacarte so i can't delete them | 06:16 |
| sisto | arrrghhh: which is command line only | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | sisto, yea i realize that... | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | i love vlc, i figured it would be the easiest to use but it doens't work as i thought it would... | 06:16 |

| computer13137 | I'm trying to apt-get remove postfix... but I already did once, and it didn't fully remove. Then, I deleted everything in /etc/postfix but now it still thinks Postfix is installed. It won't remove it. It won't install it. What do I do now? | 06:27 |
| spsneo | lostogre: will i have to install it | 06:27 |
| spsneo | ? | 06:27 |
| lostogre | spsneo: I don't think so. | 06:27 |
| tritium | spsneo: no, you won't. It's installed by default. | 06:27 |
| tritium | computer13137: apt-get remove --purge to _fully_ remove, including config files | 06:28 |
| spsneo | it says string: command not found | 06:28 |
| tritium | spsneo: strings, not string | 06:28 |
| spsneo | ok | 06:28 |
| tritium | spsneo: hint: use tab-completion | 06:28 |

| tritium | kelvinq: if swap is mounted properly, the resume scripts should know where it is | 06:47 |
| _orly_owl__ | it still doesnt work | 06:47 |
| _orly_owl__ | doesny even find GRUB | 06:48 |
| bullgard4 | crimsun: I did not do anything else than to install Ubuntu 8.04's DEB program packages and did not tune them by hand. So I suppose that Ubuntu 8.04 first tries as a default IPv6 and only if this is not supported (somewhere) then Ubuntu 8.04 will use TCP IPv4. | 06:48 |
| DistroJockey | mat__, sorry to hear | 06:48 |
| _orly_owl__ | and i have menu.lst set to hd0,0 | 06:48 |
| valiza1 | hi, when installin 'eric' from the command line, it asks for the 'qt data directory' which it says contains a 'qsci' directory in it. Do you know which does it refer to? I can't find such a directory | 06:48 |

| lostogre | anyone know how to install without libata? | 06:52 |
| jmichelsen | Whats your guys/gals email client of choice out there? | 06:52 |
| GNUix | If I modify /etc/fstab is Ubuntu going to overwrite my changes in an update? | 06:52 |
| bullgard4 | jmichelsen: Evolution. | 06:52 |
| gilda | no GNU | 06:52 |
| tritium | GNUix: any update that touches a config file asks you first if you want to keep old, install new, or view differences | 06:52 |
| jmichelsen | hm | 06:53 |
| GNUix | tritium: thanks | 06:53 |
| jmichelsen | bullgard4, whys that? can you tell me what is better about it than say Tbird? | 06:53 |
| GNUix | jmichelsen: I used claws for a while and liked it.. Evolution tries to be too much like Outlook so I can't get used to it.. so in the end I use Thunderbird | 06:53 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq: doesnt look to be your swapfile is even being used (0 used 1646620 free) check your swappiness in terminal > sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness | 06:53 |
| DistroJockey | !best | jmichelsen | 06:54 |
| ubottu | jmichelsen: 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. | 06:54 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq: default is 60 | 06:54 |
| jmichelsen | GNUix, I have been using Tbird for years but thought id try some others˙ | 06:54 |
| tritium | GNUix: if you need to connect to an exchange server, you'll need evolution | 06:55 |
| GNUix | jmichelsen: I had the same idea, but everything else has little issues that I couldn't deal with | 06:55 |
| GNUix | tritium: true, but from my experince if the enterprise is running exchange then you are running outlook too | 06:55 |
| kelvinq | DozedOnLinux: checking that out now. | 06:55 |
| jmichelsen | GNUix, how does Thunderbird for win act vs linux? pretty much the same? | 06:55 |
| jmichelsen | I know that firefox acts a bit diff in linux | 06:56 |
| kelvinq | DozedOnLinux: my swappiness is 60. | 06:56 |
| tritium | GNUix: I've used evolution with exchange before | 06:56 |
| bullgard4 | jmichelsen: Evolution provides very useful additional programs, and they have the same look-and-feel as Evolutions e-mail program: calendar, a task administration, notes. | 06:56 |
| GNUix | jmichelsen: not 100% identical, but close enough that you won't notice much of a difference | 06:56 |
| jmichelsen | bullgard4, I did notice the calendar¸thats nice there | 06:56 |
| jmichelsen | GNUix, good to hear | 06:56 |
| jmichelsen | GNUix, i am new to ircing lol how do you make my name show there with the colon | 06:57 |
| kelvinq | DozedOnLinux, tritium: Other folks seems to have my problem too. -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/50437 | 06:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 50437 in baltix "swap partition with hibernation data should be detected automatically in initrd or mkinitramfs should check if swap partition is specified in /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume or initramfs.conf" [High,Confirmed] | 06:57 |
| tritium | kelvinq: ah | 06:57 |
| GNUix | jmichelsen: most clients allow you to type the first few characters of a name and hit the <Tab> key | 06:57 |
| Aaron_Mason | hey all, is there a command line utility with similar (if not the same) features as audacity? | 06:58 |
| jmichelsen | mine was putting the ¸ with the tab key | 06:58 |
| _orly_owl__ | anyone? trying to boot from SATA here | 06:58 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq:you are using 66.5% it should have kicked in, so yes, something is not right here | 06:58 |
| jmichelsen | GNUix, weird¸man it has been so long since i used irc client | 06:58 |
| tritium | _orly_owl__: which works without effort, so what's the problem? | 06:58 |
| bullgard4 | jmichelsen: These programs are "better" integrated in the GNOME GUI than Thunderbird is. (But Thunderbird is very functional too.) | 06:58 |
| GNUix | jmichelsen: depending on the client you should be able to configure it.. Ya I don't venture out much anymore.. | 06:58 |
| gilda | which client you using for irc jmichelsen ? | 06:58 |
| jmichelsen | gilda, Xchat | 06:59 |
| _orly_owl__ | tritium: i copied all the OS files from a PATA drive to a SATA drive using rsync, and now it won't boot. | 06:59 |
| jmichelsen | bullgard4, cool maybe I will go outside my comfort zone and use Evolution a bit | 06:59 |
| gilda | jmichelsen: ah if you go to settings > preferences > input box you can change the name suffix | 06:59 |
| jmichelsen | bullgard4, it did impress me that it found all my emails and stuff even on a diff drive¸I didnt prep them at all | 06:59 |
| tritium | _orly_owl__: not too surprising. You probably need to check your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and /etc/fstab for correctness, now that the drive has changed | 06:59 |
| futsuriai | So, any suggestions on flash dying until I restart firefox, I've had no luck searching the forums... | 06:59 |
| jmichelsen | gilda, great thanks gilda | 07:00 |
| gilda | nps | 07:00 |
| crimsun | bullgard4: not without static or runtime analysis | 07:00 |
| _orly_owl__ | tritium: i know, but what would the SATA drive be in menu.lst? hd0? | 07:00 |
| _orly_owl__ | i dont think it's hd0 as the PC doesnt even find GRUB | 07:01 |
| tritium | _orly_owl__: yes | 07:01 |
| dr_Willis | _orly_owl__, check /boot/grub/device.map also. the grub command line can also show what devices are shown as what hd## | 07:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | _orly_owl__: what have you done to make this more complicated than it should be? | 07:01 |
| jmichelsen | gilda have you heard of problems with nick completion using diff keymaps? Xchat isnt showing colons for me lol it wont type them | 07:02 |
| tritium | _orly_owl__: keep in mind that /boot/grub/menu.lst has a kopt=root=UUID= line | 07:02 |
| kelvinq | tritium, DozedOnLinux: i've fixed it.all i need to do is to define the location of swap in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and to run the command update-initramfs -u. voila. | 07:02 |
| bullgard4 | crimsun: Ok. Thank you. | 07:02 |
| tritium | kelvinq: nice job | 07:03 |
| eyp | hello there | 07:03 |

| brutus | how do i get bluetooth to work on my gutsy? | 07:03 |
| jmichelsen | gilda I tried to replace it with colon but it wont type in there | 07:03 |
| jmichelsen | gilda could be my keymap¸¸ Xchat seems to have trouble typing any punctuation˙˙ | 07:04 |
| kelvinq | tritium: no problem. hope this helps someone else too. | 07:04 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq: i have neither the file nor the directory in that post(2006 btw) /etc/initramfs-tools seems to be the directory now with Hardy | 07:04 |
| jmichelsen | gilda weird | 07:04 |
| GNUix | ooookay.. I'm not used to seeing what appear to be udev rules in /etc/fstab.. so let me ask this.. I have a physical disk that has one large partition on it mounted to /storage .. I want local users to be able to write/read files from there and have the ability to setup a samba share from there as well.. How would you do it in Ubunut | 07:04 |
| kelvinq | DozedOnLinux: try # update-initramfs -u | 07:05 |
| gilda | GNUix: i have mine manually declared in the fstab | 07:05 |
| _orly_owl__ | dr_Willis: how do i find out which drive is which in the GRUB command line? | 07:05 |
| jmichelsen | see yall | 07:05 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq: i see that, btw i dont even use swap. but, i do see the fix | 07:05 |
| eyp | I updated ubuntu 7.10 lts to 8.04 lts but it shutdowns my neo laptop while on the synaptic manager. how do I solve this problem? | 07:05 |
| dr_Willis | _orly_owl__, check the grub homepage for the various grub command line commands. it has a name com,pletion feature. try hd<tab> and see what it completes | 07:06 |
| GNUix | gilda: so if I take out this UUID udev looking thing and just manually declare it it won't cause Ubuntu to freak out correct? | 07:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq: now you didnt change media just resized the partitions ? | 07:06 |
| kelvinq | DozedOnLinux: if you use Hibernate, then you must keep your pagedata somewhere. | 07:06 |
| dr_Willis | _orly_owl__, the grub commandline has some really neat features. it can even scan/find files. | 07:06 |
| kelvinq | DozedOnLinux: I shifted my swap partition around. | 07:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | kelvinq:yes i do have the resume file, and no , i dont use hibernate | 07:06 |
| gilda | GNUix: for my mounted drives i havent remove anything - but i have essentially declared them via the fstab and they seem to be happy | 07:06 |
| ParaDoX34690 | is there an application like pidgin, etc, but also have the ability to send SMS messages to cell phones? | 07:06 |

| LTSP | GNUix: are you trying to occasionally share or you want to link automatically at boot up? | 07:07 |

| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: does it show up there ? | 07:12 |
| amazen720 | ParaDoX34690: it dosent say the version so I think it's WMP54g V1.0 | 07:13 |
| eyp | hi there...perhaps you could me understand why 8.04 shutdowns while in the middle of updating more specif using synaptic manager. this does not happen in 7.10? | 07:13 |
| ParaDoX34690 | ya know, I had a v4 a while ago, but I never got that to work... | 07:13 |
| tritium | eyp: it has to be specific to your hardware. It does not happen in general. | 07:13 |
| alex777x | anyone know of this with mdadm ? | 07:14 |
| amazen720 | ParaDoX34690: I'm going to paste in pastebin | 07:14 |
| eyp | so perhaps 8.04 won't work on my laptop neo? | 07:14 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: i have same wireless card, but my v4.1 check here to see in terminal what driver being used (look for module)> sudo lshw -C network | 07:15 |

| rowdog | wow spyrocks, that's bad, can you drag and drop the toolbars into place? | 07:25 |
| Rhamphoryncus | Kharnov: checked top? | 07:25 |
| spyrorocks | rowdog, I can drag the bottom but not the top | 07:25 |
| amazen720 | DozenOnLinux: the driver from Linksys is bcmwl5.inf | 07:26 |
| gene-r | ok ill try that thanks | 07:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: you need to blacklist what is said to do so, then you need to use ndiswrapper to install driver using the "working" windows driver. | 07:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: ok | 07:26 |
| DistroJockey | Kharnov, sounds like the evolution-data-server issue to me | 07:26 |
| Kharnov | I checked top, but nothing seems to really make sense. Things are running that I'm fairly sure shouldn't be running in the first place. | 07:27 |
| rowdog | spyrorocks, if you right click on the toolbar, there's a property called "expands", maybe that'd help | 07:27 |

| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: dont know what you are doing now, but, if you follow them steps just as they are, you should be fine, then all is needed is to confgure using network manager | 07:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | spyrorocks: what video card do you have ? | 07:35 |
| amazen720 | DozedOnLinux: I've followed the steps but I cant get it work | 07:35 |

| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: you need your SSID (basically Access Point name) | 07:38 |

| amazen720 | DozenOnLinux: http://pastebin.com/m3af55654 | 07:39 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: Network Manager probably easiest way , get ther in menu > System/Administration/Network Manager | 07:39 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: confgure Network Manager first, then you can go from there | 07:39 |

| spyrorocks | crap never worked. | 07:43 |
| unop | meteoroid, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow tzdata | 07:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: the main thing is to have NetMan make a conf file for you so it saves alot of trouble, unless of course you want to do it manually ? | 07:44 |

| DistroJockey | spyrorocks, you probably need to remove the "bad monitor" from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: i can run you through manual configuration if you like, but, NetManager is easier for most. | 07:51 |

| DistroJockey | spyrorocks, well, that does make it trickier | 07:51 |

| brutus | does ubuntu already have some inbuilt firewall or do i have to explicitly configure iptables? | 07:56 |

| spyrorocks | I don't know wols_ | 07:56 |
| spyrorocks | Laptop | 07:56 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: you set now or you need to do manual configuratiin ? | 07:56 |
| wols_ | brutus: explicitly configure. why would you need a firewall? | 07:56 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: ok | 07:56 |
| wols_ | spyrorocks: then find out | 07:56 |

| gene-r | it has iptables but u can instal firestarter | 07:57 |
| spyrorocks | wols_: I got a bunch of numbers | 07:57 |

| brutus | wols_, what are those special cases then | 07:58 |
| DeFi | advice* | 07:58 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: stick with me here | 07:58 |
| amazen720 | dozedonlinux: yes | 07:58 |
| wols_ | brutus: to have a proper firewall you need a separate system that ONLY does the firewall duty. NOTHING else | 07:58 |
| spyrorocks | wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/36123 | 07:58 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: open terminal | 07:58 |

| wols_ | gaelfx: wrong tab complete | 07:59 |
| DistroJockey | brutus, gene-r : no ports listening by default. ufw is what I would use if you need though | 07:59 |
| DozedOnLinux | iwconfig wlan0 essid "YourESSIDher" | 07:59 |

| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: ok move onto interfaces file as you will have to do it anyhow | 08:02 |
| amazen720 | DozedOnLinux: what now | 08:02 |
| jianfei | my window frame, sometimes doesnt display, any idea how to fix this | 08:02 |

| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: now lets bring them back up | 08:05 |
| gaelfx | halp mise intarnetts are broked! | 08:05 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: in terminal> but first lets name the essid | 08:05 |
| LSD|Ninja | gaelfx: what nForce MAC do you have? | 08:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: you do know the SSID correct, you have to answer dont play games | 08:06 |
| wols_ | spyrorocks: looks alright and like it uses 1440x900 as it probably should | 08:06 |
| gene-r | does someone knows if metacity is the same than compiz? i checked my sys and both are installed | 08:06 |
| gaelfx | LSD|Ninja: not sure, how do I find out? | 08:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: yes/no ? | 08:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | gaelfx: what model board do you have? | 08:06 |
| cool_penguin | I have one quick question. How could I make the update manager to show me a notification bubble each time it detects an update? | 08:06 |
| DistroJockey | cool_penguin, :) as they say "all good things come to those who try" (well, maybe they don't say that exactly) :) | 08:06 |
| wols_ | DozedOnLinux: if ifocnfig -a doesn't show a wlan0 you can't put it down or do anything. you need to load a driver first | 08:06 |
| amazen720 | DozedOnLinux: hold on | 08:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | cool_penguin: you can increase the frequency it checks for updates but you don't want to make it too frequent | 08:07 |
| gaelfx | LSD|Ninja: well, the graphics card is 6150 Go!. not sure about which exact nForce chipset on the mainboard though | 08:07 |
| DozedOnLinux | wols: i know but he needs to setup interfaces reguardless | 08:07 |
| wols_ | gene-r: they are different | 08:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | gaelfx: do you know what mobo you have? | 08:07 |
| shesek | can I only extract files matching pattern using tar ? | 08:07 |
| spyrorocks | wols_: It may be using it but the menu bar won't extend the whole screen width | 08:07 |
| gaelfx | LSD|Ninja: I don't even know what that is | 08:07 |
| wols_ | DozedOnLinux: but first things first. unless he has a wlan0 he cannot set up this interface in the first place | 08:07 |
| cool_penguin | but sometimes I get the bubble and sometimes I don't :( | 08:07 |
| amazen720 | DozedonLinux: please give what the complette file should look like | 08:07 |
| wols_ | spyrorocks: what native res does the display have? | 08:08 |
| DozedOnLinux | amazen720: ok i will paste bin | 08:08 |
| amazen720 | dozedonlinux: thanx | 08:08 |
| gene-r | do i have to unistall one of them? i dont know much about graphics in linux | 08:08 |
| wols_ | gene-r: you don't have to | 08:08 |
| spyrorocks | wols_: 1440x900 | 08:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | cool_penguin: by default the update manager checks for updates once a day (and will pop up the bubble if it detects anything). You probably don't want it to auto update more than that though | 08:08 |
| DeFi | i need some advice with partitioning in ubuntu install, i have a 80gb hard drive with a 40gb and a 38gb partition, i would like to use the 40gb partition to install ubuntu on (it can be repartitioned) while keeping the 38gb NTFS partition with all its data on intact. ubuntu install only gives me the option to use whole disk or manual partition. if anyone could advise me i would appreciate it :) | 08:08 |
| brutus | how do i run a command on system startup?(ntlmaps in this case) | 08:09 |
| wols_ | spyrorocks: xdpyinfo | 08:09 |
| wols_ | !tell brutus about rc.local | 08:09 |
| ubottu | brutus, please see my private message | 08:09 |
| gaelfx | LSD|Ninja: what is mobo? | 08:09 |
| amazen720 | dozenonlinux: I think the file " interfaces' was messed up | 08:09 |
| LSD|Ninja | gaelfx: motherboard, mainboard, that thing that sits in the bottom of the case with everything else connected to it | 08:09 |
| gaelfx | LSD|Ninja: well, could you just tell me how to find the information you want? | 08:10 |
| LSD|Ninja | gaelfx: I take it you didn;'t build this machine yourself? | 08:10 |
| gaelfx | LSD|Ninja: it's a laptop... | 08:10 |
| cool_penguin | LSD|Ninja: I understand you, but the point I am makin is that when I see a notification icon, like the orange star, i dont see the bubble. However when I right click on it, the Show Notification option is checked marked. At this point if I Log out and log in, i can see the bubble appear | 08:10 |

| DozedOnLinux | amazen720:it is pretty basic config, nothing need to be fancy with it | 08:12 |
| DistroJockey | DeFi, you will need to use the Manual option. You should be able to delete the 40GB and use it to make a / partition and a swap partition (backup first) | 08:12 |
| wols_ | spyrorocks: that looks like a gnome problem. create a new user and log in with that | 08:12 |

| kittykitty | i am trying to install library files for a program i want to read | 08:48 |
| shear | shesek, no problem | 08:48 |
| datawhore | ::kitty: what's the problem that you are having? | 08:49 |
| kittykitty | it is saying "while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.1d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 08:49 |
| datawhore | oops sorry for the double post | 08:49 |
| spsneo | how to install kqemu ? | 08:49 |
| nybbj | morning all | 08:49 |
| moncojhr | hello can someone help me? how do i get fake raid5 to work? | 08:49 |
| gluonman | My root partition just ran out of space. I'm trying to use qtparted to resice the partition so it can have more space, but the resize option is greyed out. What can I do? | 08:50 |
| Fallen_Demon | hey people. When you download a *-doc package, where does it install to? | 08:50 |
| nnull | hi guys ive got a dualboot with xp, my gutsy ubuntu has died trying to update itself, so ive downloaded new iso, can i just reboot and live cd install? or do i need to somehow format my linux partition or? | 08:50 |
| nybbj | i think packages are installed in open office or something | 08:50 |
| zcat[1] | /usr/share/doc ? | 08:50 |
| DistroJockey | gluonman, you can't resize mounted partitions. You may need a live CD (maybe PartedMagic 3.0) | 08:50 |
| krayZ | shesek: maybe you could list the contents of the tar, | grep ..., and > to a file... then.. I dunno... | 08:51 |
| Fallen_Demon | zcat[1]: sweet, thanks | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | nnull: if your update died, it'd probably be easiest to boot the live CD, use gparted to delete your old Linux partitions, then proceed w/ the install, and install hardy to the new unallocated space | 08:51 |
| krayZ | Anybody have any exp. auto-starting x11vnc on boot for kubuntu? | 08:52 |
| Fallen_Demon | zcat[1]: I've been using ubuntu as a dev for the last year and a half and never known that '^_^ | 08:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | nnull: do youhave anything on the linux partitions that is not backed up, that you need? | 08:52 |
| nnull | gparted is inside the livecd gui stuff yea? IndyGunFreak | 08:52 |
| nybbj | well some one told me that you allmust never have to reinstall GNU/Linux | 08:52 |
| zcat[1] | Fallen_Demon: I just did 'locate doc' and guessed the one that looked most sensible... | 08:52 |
| nnull | few things on my desktop | 08:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | nnull: should be, if not you can install it w/ sudo apt-get install gparted | 08:52 |
| gluonman | DistroJockey, a live partition editor CD? | 08:52 |
| Bodsda | gluonman, yes | 08:52 |
| kittykitty | datawhore you there? | 08:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | nnull: well, you might be able to use your live CD, to move themm to your windows partition, if you really need them. | 08:53 |
| zcat[1] | I might actually be wrong still ;) | 08:53 |
| gluonman | Bodsda, is there an .iso available online that I can burn to a disc to make the live cd? | 08:53 |
| Fallen_Demon | zcat[1]: fair enough. That never occurred to me. But it did have all the stuff | 08:53 |
| DistroJockey | gluonman, yeah, as I said, you can't modified mounted partitions (gparted on a live cd is needed) | 08:53 |
| nnull | linux has so many partitions i havent installed it in ages cant remmeber what i need lol | 08:53 |
| zcat[1] | "two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong.." | 08:53 |
| Bodsda | gluonman, i assume so, google it | 08:53 |
| nnull | or even whut ive got | 08:53 |
| gluonman | Bodsda, DistroJockey, thank you. | 08:53 |
| Bodsda | zcat[1], why? | 08:53 |
| Bodsda | welcome | 08:53 |

| IndyGunFreak | nnull: usually the easiest, is to have your swap(1.5-2x your memory), and then whatever else you plan to give to Linux, set up as / and ext3 | 08:54 |
| Bodsda | zcat[1], i dont understand, why cant they both be jesus | 08:54 |
| krayZ | zcat[1], Jesus (Hey-zeus) is a popular Mexican name, no? | 08:54 |
| datawhore | because Jesus uses Windows | 08:54 |
| zcat[1] | I dunno. How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease? | 08:54 |

| hive | like what package should i apt-get | 08:58 |
| miyako | zcat[1]: yeah, I've been using irssi, just was playing around with some other clients | 08:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | krazihrz: they sell coolers that plug into a usb port that you can set up... they work well, if it really is gettin that hot, are you sure itsnot the battery getting hot? | 08:58 |

| kittykitty | zcat E: Couldn't find package libavcodec1d | 09:06 |
| zcat[1] | kittykitty: so I assume you have some version of the libavcodec package installed? | 09:06 |

| IndyGunFreak | Bodsda: i wouldn't either.. | 09:08 |
| Bodsda | solexious, wireshark | 09:08 |
| miyako | kittykitty: do you have libavcodec installed? | 09:08 |
| kittykitty | well i have no clue what medibuntu is so if you're gonna explain that to me it'd help or offer another solution | 09:08 |

| solexious | bodsda, its a bit over kill, i just need to record how much im downloading though my usb gprs modem | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | IndyGunFreak, meh, she started the jokes i just continued it then she got all moody on me,.,. typical | 09:09 |
| LSD|Ninja | kittykitty: in the time it took you to type that out you could have have tpyed 'medibuntu' into google and read the first page :P | 09:09 |
| zcat[1] | I'd go set up medibuntu as a repo and then upgrade ffmpeg and libavcodec to the medibuntu versions .. although it might make no difference at all .. | 09:09 |
| miyako | kittykitty: I don't know offhand, did you try aptitude search libavcodec ? | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | LSD|Ninja, hahah so true | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | miyako, its libavcodec1d | 09:10 |
| miyako | looks like it's probably libavcodec1d | 09:10 |
| kittykitty | yes and only one pops up and yes its installed | 09:10 |
| Bodsda | miyako, kitty was the one who told us that | 09:10 |
| kittykitty | i libavcodec-dev - development files for libavcodec | 09:10 |
| zcat[1] | 1d? I thought video was generally 2d ;) | 09:10 |
| miyako | okay, now do you know where on your system that file is | 09:10 |
| wols_ | kittykitty: dev package don't contain any libs | 09:11 |
| kittykitty | ./usr/lib/libavcodec.a | 09:11 |
| Bodsda | sudo apt-get install libavcodec* would be easier | 09:11 |
| kittykitty | yeah exactly wols.... | 09:11 |
| wols_ | kittykitty: that's a static library, only if you compile your own stuff can you use it | 09:11 |
| miyako | libavcodec.a is the wrong file, you need the dynamic library, .so.1d | 09:11 |
| wols_ | kittykitty: apt-cache search libavcodec after you added medibuntu to your sources.list | 09:11 |
| miyako | try "updatedb" then "locate libavcodec.so.1d" | 09:11 |
| solexious | [Q] Is there a way to log the amount of downloading ive done on a network device? *a usb 3g modem* | 09:12 |
| kittykitty | solexious mrtg ? | 09:13 |
| datawhore | so I'm guessing that you still have issue unresolved | 09:14 |
| solexious | [Q] Is there a way to log the amount of downloading ive done on a network device? *a usb 3g modem* | 09:14 |
| bastid_raZor | solexious; yes, you could do that through conky. | 09:14 |

| kittykitty | well i'm trying to find out how to add medintu to my repository list | 09:15 |
| kittykitty | and i dont exactly see it in any of my package lists | 09:15 |
| Bodsda | hhmm perhaps if she un ignored me i could tell her | 09:15 |
| miyako | kittykitty: did you ever to a locate to see if you have libavcodec.so.1d and if so where it's at? | 09:15 |
| dr_Willis | !medibuntu | kittykitty | 09:15 |
| ubottu | kittykitty: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:15 |
| dr_Willis | the medibuntu web site gives the exact lines needed to add its repo to the listings | 09:15 |
| bastid_raZor | kittykitty; you could add it from command line fairly easily | 09:16 |
| zcat[1] | kittykitty: follow the weblink ubottu keeps saying, then click the 'repo' tab from there and follow the very precise and simple instructions on that page... | 09:16 |
| bastid_raZor | kittykitty; yeah, the website would be a much better route to go. | 09:16 |
| jeeves__ | can anyone help me figure out how to fix my SSH server? I'm locked out after I messed up, then uninstalled LDAP | 09:16 |
| miyako | according to my system, it's in /usr/lib | 09:16 |
| zcat[1] | or alternatively you can just download the debs you want and skip adding the repo | 09:16 |
| wols_ | !errors | jeeves__ | 09:17 |
| ubottu | jeeves__: 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 | 09:17 |
| Bodsda | sudo apt-get me -a--sandwich | 09:17 |
| kittykitty | miyako yes it is, i'm not following your advice atm since i am reading this medibuntu website | 09:17 |
| jeeves__ | wols_, Thanks for your caring attention with the bot. I'm getting auth errors. | 09:17 |
| miyako | so the next thing you might try, is run the ffmpeg command with strace to see where it thinks the library should be | 09:17 |
| zcat[1] | Bodsda: that would be --a-sandwich I think | 09:17 |
| Bodsda | zcat[1], damn, ty thats why i got a 'Error: No butter in fridge' error then | 09:18 |
| dr_Willis | ffmpeg has a medibuntu variant also. | 09:18 |
| bastid_raZor | bedtime | 09:18 |
| wols_ | jeeves__: unless you give us more info you won't be able to get help | 09:18 |
| Bodsda | jeeves__, the bot is knowledgable perhaps you should read what she said | 09:18 |
| jeeves__ | Bodsda, I'll be back. for some reason, my server has stopped responding. | 09:19 |

| tcc_ | miyako:not sure...been a while since i used linux and im installing on new comp,where do i find out? | 09:22 |

| moncojhr | it says: The kernel device mapper (which dmraid depends on) does not yet support RAID-5. There are some early development patches available, so they might get merged into Linus's kernel in time for Edgy, but I'd say it's not all that likely. You can find alpha kernel patches for RAID4 and RAID5 kernel support at Heinz Mauelshagen page. | 09:23 |
| Bodsda | moncojhr, ask a better question then | 09:23 |

| moncojhr | with the dm-raid45 patch i was talking about | 09:23 |
| miyako | tcc_: well, if it's a new computer like 'just bought it' the easiest way might be to look on the box or in the manual, otherwise you can use lsmod to see what kernel modules you have loaded and work backwards from there | 09:23 |
| nsafreak | BlackCow, yes you should. Although we don't know what else is on your LAN along with what its made up of in terms of switches, etc so it could be something other than your Linux setup | 09:24 |
| wols_ | moncojhr: they are in the kernel by now. I've seen some howto on the ubuntu site | 09:24 |
| OsamaK | Bodsda, I'll try this | 09:24 |
| Bodsda | ??? | 09:24 |
| BlackCow | hmm, well its on a switch, ill see if thats bottlenecking it. Is it possible that it could be an OS or Hardware problem other then the LAN? | 09:25 |
| nsafreak | yes it could be | 09:25 |
| BlackCow | and if so what would it be, just so I have some ideas to trouble shoot | 09:25 |
| moncojhr | wols_: alright thanks for the information ill look for a howto | 09:25 |
| nsafreak | well | 09:25 |
| nsafreak | what operating system is the other PC? | 09:25 |
| OsamaK | Bodsda, Is it come with Ubuntu 8.04 by defualt? | 09:25 |
| wols_ | moncojhr: the wiki has it afaik | 09:26 |

| lemon | hi everybody, I have introduced a cd in my cd drive, but ubuntu doesn't detect the cd, what can I do? | 09:29 |
| miyako | it looks like some via onboard sound but I can't tell the video from that | 09:29 |
| ompaul | lemon, is it music? | 09:29 |
| lemon | ompaul: no, it's a windows xp professional cd (may be ubuntu is blocking it to avoid I install it on virtualbox xdxd) | 09:30 |
| wols_ | tcc_: lspci -nn | 09:30 |
| zcat[1] | lemon: places > Computer and open the drive from there? | 09:30 |

| zcat[1] | lemon: Ummm.. so under 'Computer" you can see the drive, but when you click on it, it can't mount the windows CD? | 09:34 |
| ompaul | wols_, do this !no factoid is <reply> what you want in there and then it will get edited (99.5% chance anyway) | 09:34 |
| r16k | omg this nvidia-settings is amazing, last time I used linux it took me a day to configure two monitors with twin view at different resolutions! | 09:34 |
| wols_ | ompaul: why would I do this? | 09:34 |
| jeeves__ | wols_, hey, do you know how to find out what address blocks are assigned to an ISP? | 09:35 |
| ompaul | wols_, so next time you want that it comes up right | 09:35 |
| wols_ | ah you mean the xinerama stuff. dunno the ubuntu way to do twinview, so I won't :) | 09:35 |
| moncojhr | jeeves you can use domaintools.com | 09:35 |
| wols_ | jeeves__: arin, ripe, etc. | 09:35 |
| lemon | zcat[1]: no, the drive is not shown, I mean, I can see the drive in computer, but doesn't appeared like it was with a mounted cd | 09:35 |
| jeeves__ | wols_, thanks | 09:35 |
| wols_ | jeeves__: dunno if you even can. you can use whois to check who owns a given IP | 09:35 |
| zcat[1] | lemon: OK.. try opening the drive and closing it again? give the CD a wipe? It might be dirty? | 09:36 |

| zcat[1] | !no twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 09:37 |
| zcat[1] | ompaul: like that? | 09:37 |
| ompaul | thanks | 09:37 |

| kpkeerthi | Hi.. Can someone suggest me a good chm viewer? I tried gnochm but fonts are way too small in it. | 09:39 |
| zcat[1] | btw I think you need to run nvidia-settings with gksu if you want it to be able to update xorg.conf, otherwise all your dual-screen goodness goes away when you log out | 09:39 |
| jeeves__ | wols_, I know who the IP range belongs to, I just need to know how wide it is. One of my backup servers is on a DHCP line, and I've lost contact with it. I don't know if it's down, or the IP rotated | 09:39 |
| moncojhr | wols_: i cant find the article about fake raid 4-5 | 09:39 |
| wols_ | jeeves__: arin tells you, whois too IIRC | 09:39 |
| r16k | ok so I do have one questions about nvidia-settings, how do I get it so that way windows know there are two separate screens? basically so when I maximize a window it stays on one monitor. | 09:40 |
| jeeves__ | wols_, Do you know the syntax for nmap to scan a range of IPs to see what system has a specific port open? | 09:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: now that i do agree w/.. but i usually just disable my second monitor whileplaying a game...then when i re-enable it when i'm done, simply restart X | 09:41 |
| trupheenix | inetrix: i'm assuming ur trying to do this from windows? | 09:41 |
| wols_ | inetrix: use gparted to resize partitions | 09:41 |
| r16k | zcat[1]: Still using windows for games. I play TF2 and WC3, they never feel right in linux under wine. | 09:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | inetrix: goes w/o saying i hope, that you need to have a good backup.. "just in case" | 09:42 |

| trupheenix | wols_: i'll paste my iwconfig and iwlist messages. please wait. | 09:42 |

| trupheenix | wols_: http://pastebin.com/m25e8544a | 09:44 |
| inetrix | is gparted easy to use? i mean im pretty computer savvy but i get confused easily when it becomes comp tech level stuff | 09:44 |
| Flannel | inetrix: It is pretty easy to use, yes. | 09:45 |
| wols_ | inetrix: fairly. it's a partition magic for linux basically | 09:45 |
| wols_ | trupheenix: so? looks pretty much how it should look | 09:45 |
| inetrix | could i use this in live demo? i just got an error | 09:45 |
| trupheenix | wols_: http://pastebin.com/d6c300077 | 09:45 |
| wols_ | inetrix: yes in livecd | 09:45 |

| DistroJockey | do the^ | 09:46 |

| nybbj | so how to program in python? i cant find any icon to it here in ubuntu | 09:47 |
| wols_ | trupheenix: hidden ssid is useless. and you need to tel your ubuntu about what AP to use. but since I don't do gnome network manager but /etc/network/interfaces only I can't tell you how you do it there | 09:47 |
| trupheenix | wols_: see my second paste please. i posted iwconfig there | 09:47 |
| wols_ | trupheenix: I've seen it | 09:47 |
| nybbj | sodu apt-get moo | 09:47 |
| trupheenix | wols_: so ur suggesting i manually enter the network parameters? hmmm never done that | 09:47 |

| Detedagowa | i deleted all of my partitions.... | 09:48 |

| Nelson_Apart | kcman, grub will help you | 09:52 |

| inetrix | gparted doesn't seem to work on the live demo | 09:52 |

| wols_ | trupheenix: please don't give bad advice like this | 09:53 |

| zcat[1] | Detedagowa: there's no easy way to convert a 700M Ubuntu CD to a 512M flash image... whereas you can fairly easily (with a script) dump the 700M cd image toa 1G USB drive. Although I've only done it once and it turned out the machine I wanted it for didn't actually boot from USB anyhow | 09:55 |
| wols_ | DistroJockey: no clue. there are tons of distros which are <500MB, but this is #ubuntu so the only advice I give here is ubuntu advice | 09:55 |
| wols_ | goat: only if you like to break your ubuntu | 09:55 |
| DistroJockey | wols_, yep, fair enough | 09:55 |
| goat | wols_, :( | 09:55 |
| goat | wols_, i already broke my ubuntu once today | 09:55 |

| noconnection | you was gettign there | 10:29 |

| noconnection | aye :( | 10:29 |

| martine | bonjour | 11:12 |
| MasseR | I lost my tty's, but I can still use virtual terminals. How can I fix tty's | 11:12 |
| Dr_willis | MasseR, you mean the Consoles on alt-ctrl-f1 through f6? | 11:13 |
| Grobvok | kcman: use dpkg purge [the deb from which you installed] and then install it from Add/Remove. | 11:13 |
| martine | hi, i am looking for some information on virtualization | 11:13 |
| MasseR | Dr_willis: Yes | 11:13 |
| Dr_willis | MasseR, clarify what you mean by 'lost' | 11:13 |
| martine | can i use virtualbox to use an already installed windows ? | 11:13 |
| wols_ | kcman: I'm no "sir" | 11:13 |
| martine | (on another partition) | 11:13 |
| Grobvok | martine: Wher is it already installed? | 11:13 |
| wols_ | martine: no | 11:14 |
| MasseR | Dr_willis: Blinkin cursor | 11:14 |
| Dr_willis | martine, i dont think thats a good idea. | 11:14 |
| MasseR | No login | 11:14 |
| martine | so i got to give it a file to install the windows on it ? | 11:14 |
| MasseR | Dr_willis: I removed some startup-software with update-rc.d but they should've been safe daemons like mysql, lighttpd etc | 11:14 |
| Dr_willis | MasseR, ive seen where some times the X server/video drivers will confuse the console output. I often disabkle the framebuffer to get the console back. | 11:15 |
| wols_ | martine: yes | 11:15 |
| martine | what software should i use to be able to use my windows from my ubuntu ? | 11:15 |
| MasseR | Dr_willis: I'll try it thanks | 11:15 |
| wols_ | martine: depends on the software | 11:15 |
| wols_ | martine: best is not to use any windows software | 11:15 |
| boganslaw | greeting all | 11:16 |
| mio | my system is 100% cpu all the time with ubuntu, any ideas? | 11:16 |
| Dr_willis | martine, thats often not a good idea to try to run a existing install inside a virtual machine.. best to have a clean install inside the virtual machine | 11:16 |
| martine | héhé for sure but i need it since it is the only way for me to be able to consult my "medecine history" (excuse my bad english please) from home... | 11:16 |
| wols_ | mio: which process is using the cpu? | 11:16 |
| Grobvok | martine: VirtualBox creates an image file on your ubuntu system which is the harddrive of the virtual machine. You have to install windows on that image using VirtualBox. | 11:16 |
| DozedOnLinux | mio: open System Monitor and see what is using all the CPU % | 11:16 |
| mio | system monitor is using it | 11:16 |
| geev8 | hellow hi | 11:17 |

| wols_ | restart firefox | 11:17 |
| DistroJockey | !wine | martine | 11:17 |
| ubottu | martine: 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. | 11:17 |
| wols_ | it sometimes uses full cpu | 11:17 |
| DozedOnLinux | mio:order them by cpu% what is next in line under SysMon ? | 11:17 |
| martine | k i ll do it that way then, thanks a lot <Grobvook> <Dr_willis><wols_> | 11:17 |

| KINGABAN | ?? | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | eax, correct - you can only have 4 primary partiions.. you will either need to resize the space/reaallocate it to those partitions as needed.. or convert one to a extended partition (and perhaps lose all data on it) and make logical partitiobns in that extended. | 11:32 |

| r16k | he lies! wine is an emulator! | 11:42 |
| DozedOnLinux | chronographer: yes true, wrong choice of words. | 11:42 |
| rambo3 | r16k, you know what Wine is short for? | 11:42 |
| robinparker | geek_: what is faster 64bit or 32bit? i have amd64 but i heard many applications doesnt run on ubuntu amd64 | 11:42 |
| r16k | Wine is an Emulator | 11:42 |
| r16k | thats what its short for | 11:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | r16k: wrong. | 11:42 |
| ZanyX11 | robinparker: 64bit | 11:42 |
| chronographer | Wine Is Not an Emulator !!! | 11:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | !wine | 11:43 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 11:43 |
| chronographer | look it up on wikipedia | 11:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | r16k: perhaps you should go read wine's page, and see what Wine stands for.. | 11:43 |
| r16k | Wine Is aN Emulator | 11:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | compatibility layer :P | 11:43 |
| chronographer | lol | 11:43 |
| ZanyX11 | r16k: Wine Is Not an Emulator | 11:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | lol | 11:43 |
| r16k | (sorry I'm done, I was trolling) | 11:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | r16k: no its not. | 11:43 |
| robinparker | is it true that Adobe Flash doesnt work in 64bit and many more applications?? | 11:43 |
| chronographer | is lirc an emulator ??? can anyone help me emulate it into working? | 11:43 |
| kcman | well thanks good night | 11:43 |
| ZanyX11 | robinparker: that is where the command linux32 comes in :D | 11:44 |

| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: it works, you just have to do some work to get 32bit web browsers, etc, to work on 64bit.. | 11:44 |
| rambo3 | robinparker, it works with ia32 libs . JAva doesn't work | 11:44 |
| ZanyX11 | can someone help me with getting surround working? | 11:44 |
| ZanyX11 | i use asus m2n onboard HD audio | 11:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: i personally, just don't think the problems w/ 64bit, are worth the hassle... | 11:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | so i just stay w/ 32bit. | 11:44 |
| geek_ | robinparker: generally i prefer 32 bit better on most older systems. if you absolutely need to use more than 4 gb of ram, go for 64 bit. least thats my opinion | 11:45 |
| robinparker | so basically 64bits is fast, but lacks of functionality ? | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZanyX11: whats your audio device | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: its not even that much faster... i noticed no difference at all. | 11:45 |
| ZanyX11 | IndyGunFreak i use asus m2n onboard HD audio | 11:45 |
| rambo3 | robinparker, it isn't fast | 11:45 |
| DozedOnLinux | ZanyX11: not sure, but you can check > System/Preferences/Sound menu | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZanyX11: you didn't answer my question at all. | 11:45 |
| ZanyX11 | IndyGunFreak: Soundmax HD Audio i thought | 11:45 |
| * IndyGunFreak sighs | 11:45 | |
| robinparker | ok ill install 32bit then, to avoid problems... brb in 5 minutes | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZanyX11: open a terminal and type lspci then pastebin the results | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | !pastebin | ZanyX11 | 11:45 |

| geek_ | IndyGunFreak: i can't think of any real advantage of a 64 arch other than ram off the top of my head ;p | 11:46 |
| isakey | do modern PCs can boot from GPT hdds? | 11:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | geek_: i think honestly thats the only one. | 11:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | just my personal opinion. | 11:46 |
| ZanyX11 | IndyGunFreak: HDA Nvidia | 11:46 |
| DozedOnLinux | ZanyX11: sudo lshw -C sound | 11:46 |
| r16k | geek_: You jump from 8 general purpose registers to 16 registers | 11:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | ZanyX11: well that tells me a lot.. .when you can listen, i'll help you | 11:46 |
| DozedOnLinux | geek_: the 64bit needs to be dealt with like it is 64bit, not many applications even take advantage of it | 11:47 |

| wiehan | Hi there, I have a graphics card issue: I am sure the issue is hardware based, can you people point to a channel where I can direct this question or should I just aks here | 11:47 |
| geek_ | DozedOnLinux: same as with threaded coding for SMP processing? | 11:48 |
| chronographer | can you have a 64 bit install with 32 bit apps ?? | 11:48 |
| r16k | chronographer: yes | 11:48 |
| chronographer | or can you install 32 bit OS with support for more ram? | 11:48 |
| DozedOnLinux | geek_: much like most new technology, isnt any good till it is used at full potential | 11:48 |
| geek_ | chronographer: i think its yes for both | 11:48 |
| chronographer | =) | 11:48 |
| DozedOnLinux | geek_: i mesage you IM/PM as it is off-topic ? | 11:49 |
| geek_ | you can use PAE enabled kernels on a 32 bit system (but there's IIRC a performance penalty) | 11:49 |
| geek_ | DozedOnLinux: i need to switched to my registered username, one moment | 11:49 |

| trupheenix | can anyone help me with iwl3945? i'm not able to get my wireless working. how can i revert to a stable wireless driver? this is very disappointing that hardy is not supporting stable drivers for a fairly widely used wireless card :( | 11:52 |
| emorris | chronographer: well, I wanted to be able to drag and resize stuff over both screens | 11:52 |
| chronographer | yeah, no good with separate screens afaik | 11:53 |

| anhhung | for some reason all the preview pictures in gnome-look.org have disappeared. How do I get them back? | 11:54 |
| gaelfx | :S can no one help me fix my language support problem? | 11:57 |
| DozedOnLinux | what language ? | 11:58 |

| DozedOnLinux | kcman: man chmod | 11:58 |
| choudesh | kcman, !perminissions | 11:58 |
| choudesh | wow - it is early. | 11:58 |
| erUSUL | kcman: the output of ls -al /dev/filename is needed | 11:58 |
| DozedOnLinux | gaelfx: do you speak read write chinese ? | 11:59 |
| gaelfx | choudesh: were you shooting for premonitions there? | 11:59 |
| gaelfx | DozedOnLinux: not much, but more than a lot of other people, what difference does it make? | 11:59 |
| choudesh | gaelfx, nah permissions. it's only 7am here and I have yet to have coffee | 11:59 |
| DozedOnLinux | gaelfx:: cause they may have run into same situation . might be better to go to help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 11:59 |
| gaelfx | choudesh: poor soul, somebody buy this guy a drink! | 11:59 |
| Webu | If I've got a dual core processor, is the max processor usage 200 in ps aux? | 12:00 |
| DozedOnLinux | gaelfx: the locales issue seems to be only affecting certain ones, from what i can see | 12:00 |
| gaelfx | DozedOnLinux: well, I'm trying to install ooffice suite to see if that fixes the problem, but we'll see | 12:00 |
| * trupheenix is pulling his hair apart to set up wireless under hardy. gutsy was better. atleast everything was working! | 12:00 | |
| DozedOnLinux | gaelfx: just throwing an idea, as i dont have the issue, nor know much of it, just know i see it occassionally | 12:00 |
| gaelfx | trupheenix: which card? | 12:00 |
| gaelfx | DozedOnLinux: right on, thanks for the thought | 12:01 |
| DozedOnLinux | gaelfx: do my best :) | 12:01 |
| gaelfx | DozedOnLinux: I actually hadn't thought of that, and I feel a little dumber :P | 12:01 |
| choudesh | gaelfx, with your issue on the backend read, restart and try again. | 12:01 |
| chronographer | trupheenix what card? | 12:01 |
| gaelfx | choudesh: tried, failed, numerous times :S | 12:01 |
| trupheenix | chronographer gaelfx: intel pro wireless 3945ABG | 12:02 |
| DozedOnLinux | glad my wireless works exceptional ;) | 12:02 |
| gaelfx | choudesh: i think that the problem is related to the fact that I haven't been able to open openoffice in ages | 12:02 |
| chronographer | my belkin too, although its thanks to serialmonkey and his exceptional free drivers! | 12:02 |
| faileas | trupheenix: hmm, i'm using the same card i think | 12:02 |
| trupheenix | gaelfx: i want to use ipw3945 instead of iwl3945. | 12:02 |
| choudesh | gaelfx, have you tried to remove/purge openoffice and reinstall? | 12:02 |
| gaelfx | trupheenix: sorry, not sure what the difference is there? | 12:02 |
| gaelfx | choudesh: right now, I'm installing suite hoping it will fix the problem, but I will try that next (but hope not to) | 12:03 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: check this out, may have fix for you. also make sure you turned on the Radio usually with (Fn + F5) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsIntel | 12:03 |
| trupheenix | faileas: yea... but the weird part about this card under gutsy is 1) my wireless led doesn't work 2) it doesn't connect to all routers ie. in my head office it worked, in my office it didn't work, at home also it didn't work but it's working right now in the airport lol | 12:04 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: ok | 12:04 |
| faileas | trupheenix: hmm.. i'm thinking the encryption for some reason | 12:04 |
| _empaa_ | are there any musicprograms that support airport express in ubuntu? | 12:04 |
| kcman | erUSUL ok there is only one user who can use the filename in question, so how do i add my current user to it | 12:05 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: if it is a laptop, commonly overlooked, Radio can be turned on/off using Fn key combo (Fn +F5) for most and (Fn + F2) for Gateway/Dell | 12:05 |
| gaelfx | so perhaps some of you remember me complaining earlier about my ethernet card, so I thought some of you might like to hear my tale of woe: my wireless works worlds better than my ethernet card at the moment :? | 12:05 |
| trupheenix | faileas: all are WPA encrypted networks. no difference. just the routers are different. at my office and at home i'm using Linksys and in the airport it's a Dlink router | 12:05 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: just look on the key for the wireless icon | 12:06 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: yes it's a laptop. but the f2 key doesn't have any function for wireless. i have a seperate switch for wireless radio on the side | 12:06 |
| trupheenix | and it's turned on | 12:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: yes, that as well, usually on front, but can be on side | 12:06 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: i would think it's more a problem with the drivers | 12:07 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: the page u sent me asks to use the ipw3945 drivers. | 12:07 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: but i have no clue how to install them. | 12:07 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: that is more for issues, and possble fixes, i can check other docs if you like | 12:07 |
| pawan | oh my god | 12:08 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: i think i would like to revert to ipw3945. | 12:08 |

| IndyGunFreak | pawan: ? | 12:08 |
| pawan | just kidding | 12:08 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: looks to be it mentions firmware as well, you might want to see abot that | 12:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | pawan: perhaps you should join #ubuntu-badhumor | 12:09 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: might involve recompiling the kernel. firmware? ah someone was saying the firmware for the iwl doesn't come installed :( | 12:09 |

| chronographer | i guess "sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org*" would work ??? | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | AliRezaTaleghani, You could make a X session that just launches firefox if you wanted.. but you proberly want a window manager as well.. there are koisk extensions for firefox. | 12:11 |
| gaelfx | chronographer: ok, but is there a more *graphical* way to do it that you know of? (I'm a wuss) | 12:12 |
| AliRezaTaleghani | Dr_willis: hum, can u give me a Link , or guide of that! | 12:12 |

| IndyGunFreak | chronographer: don't think you need the .org | 12:12 |
| chronographer | you know synaptic ? | 12:12 |
| gaelfx | chronographer: do you know which package? or do I have to select them all myself? | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | AliRezaTaleghani, not really thers a dozen+ ways to do ths stuff.. depending on EXACTLY what you are trying to do. | 12:12 |
| gaelfx | chronographer: of course :D | 12:12 |
| chronographer | yeah, dont want to remove open* though!!! | 12:12 |

| chronographer | KINGABAN: you should either get X working, or reinstall and don't mess with X !! | 12:16 |
| trupheenix | DozedOnLinux: so i think i shall revert to ipw3945. but how ? | 12:16 |
| KINGABAN | how can i work with X? | 12:16 |

| root_ | hello | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | ive not even heard of google bookmarks. | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | what is it? | 12:17 |
| chronographer | also try installing some nvidia drivers, either with envy, or by apt-get install nvidia-glx... or restricted driver manager | 12:17 |
| robinparker | Dr_willis: dunno... but i cant see there | 12:17 |
| chronographer | the latter is the best option... | 12:17 |
| xintron | How do I get a new and fresh install of apache (reinstall)? | 12:17 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: uhhh.. need to remove the other modules i suppose. i dont know which ones, so hard to say...check make sure the aliases for them are removed as well. cant be sure, dont know what you installed | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | chronographer: envy is probably the source of his problem now. | 12:17 |
| gaelfx | that's it, I'm going to kill my computer | 12:18 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: i will look for more info, if i find something, i will check back | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | chronographer, for that old a card. IO think he wants nvidia-glx-legacy | 12:18 |
| chronographer | KINGABAN: don't forget to back up xorg.conf! | 12:18 |
| gaelfx | why, if I remove openoffice, does it still try to install openoffice language support files? | 12:18 |
| chronographer | its funny though! when X doesn't work its a pain in the arse! when it is stable its stable thouge... like all things linux | 12:18 |
| chronographer | maybe you didn't uninstall openoffice language support files? | 12:19 |
| gaelfx | chronographer: greeeeat, i get to click more stuff in synaptic | 12:20 |

| IndyGunFreak | weird.... | 12:20 |

| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: eh, i don't use google toolbar | 12:21 |
| robinparker | IndyGunFreak: i do use... :( | 12:22 |
| piXelshooter | Hi. How can I find out the correct keyboard model I have to choose for my keyboard? | 12:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: well i just installed it, and again, googlebookmarks is fine | 12:22 |

| verve | is there a Tor 0.2.0.30 package for Ubuntu somewhere? | 12:23 |
| dobblego | what is the command for adjusting the sound level? | 12:23 |
| emorris | chronographer: well, everything works ok http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7139/dualmt4.png . It's just that green bit on the left which is hidden, but you can lose the mouse in it | 12:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: i don't know what you want me to screenshot. | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | i mean, if you won't take my word for it. | 12:24 |
| robinparker | IndyGunFreak: what is the default password for ROOT user? | 12:24 |
| erUSUL | dobblego: alsamixer ?? | 12:24 |
| faileas | piXelshooter: count the keys... more seriously though, pick the right language nd you should be fine | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | i click bookmarks in the google toolbar, and it lists the bookmarks i added | 12:24 |
| emorris | dobblego: either alsamixer or amixer depending on what you want to do | 12:24 |
| dobblego | erUSUL, that might it, thanks | 12:24 |
| faileas | !su | 12:24 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 12:24 |
| erUSUL | !root | robinparker | 12:24 |
| ubottu | robinparker: 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 | 12:24 |
| faileas | oops | 12:24 |
| dobblego | erUSUL, I want to turn the sound off | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: there is no root password, its your sudo user password. | 12:24 |
| xintron | How do I totaly remove apache2 and all config files to make a new fresh installation? | 12:25 |
| emorris | dobblego: amixer set Master mute | 12:25 |
| dobblego | emorris, nice one cheers | 12:26 |
| emorris | dobblego: or type alsamixer then hit m | 12:26 |
| erUSUL | xintron: sudo apt-get remove --purge packages | 12:26 |
| dobblego | emorris, I want to put it in a crontab | 12:26 |
| robinparker | WTH no root?? dammit... i love debian | 12:26 |
| robinparker | well im in ubuntu now... snif | 12:26 |
| GeekSquadSF | If I were to set up a repo server in Iraq for people to download apts and things like that.. who would I talk to? | 12:26 |
| emorris | dobblego: ok | 12:26 |
| robinparker | lets get used | 12:26 |
| faileas | GeekSquadSF: erm, no one downloads apts | 12:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | robinparker: just use sudo to to make root commands, its not that difficult. | 12:27 |
| robinparker | IndyGunFreak: thanks!! | 12:27 |

| mahidhar | i m not able 2 delete a folder it has lock symbol ......what should i do | 12:27 |
| xintron | erUSUL: so, "sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2; sudo apt-get install apache2" would give me a new and fresh install of apache (including the config-files)? | 12:27 |
| erUSUL | xintron: yes i do think so | 12:28 |
| porncake | i'd use clean too | 12:28 |
| Bossmanbeta | anyone familiar with ivtv, and a missing /dev/video0 ? I have a hauppauge 150, and I've reloaded the firmware as well as reloaded my kernel image, but the firmware fails to load, I get a "encoder mailbox not found" and "ivtv0: Error initializing firmware' | 12:28 |
| xintron | erUSUL: hrmm... done that but I didn't get the config files back :/ | 12:28 |
| porncake | apt-get clean apache2 | 12:28 |
| porncake | after the remove | 12:28 |
| robinparker | ok im installing | 12:29 |
| erUSUL | xintron: maybe the package that contains the conf files is another one like apache2-common or the like | 12:29 |
| C0nn0R | I am looking for an IP route tracing command or program what would be a good option ? | 12:30 |
| DozedOnLinux | trupheenix: rmmod command to remove modules, check in terminal for manual > man rmmod | 12:30 |
| erUSUL | xintron: use synaptic to "purge" all apache related packages and installing again | 12:30 |
| xintron | erUSUL: maybe, how do I solve that problem then? | 12:30 |

| MrPrise | hello | 12:35 |
| KINGABAN | ok thanks ill try | 12:35 |
| ompaul | !envyng | 12:35 |
| 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 | 12:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | KINGABAN: just know that the uninstall of Envy is not so nice | 12:35 |
| KINGABAN | what should i do? | 12:35 |
| Dans34 | i get an error whilst trying to compile a program , its C compiler cannot create executables , any ideas anyone ? | 12:36 |

| DozedOnLinux | i see ok | 12:36 |
| KINGABAN | my friend i cant use my 3d for my games why is that? | 12:36 |
| MrPrise | I mean windowed opengl app, not windows app | 12:36 |
| KINGABAN | and my opengl also dont work | 12:37 |
| ompaul | !nvidia | KINGABAN | 12:37 |
| ubottu | KINGABAN: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:37 |
| cloud77 | looks like the culprit is "/bin/sh /usr/lib/gdmplay /usr/share/sounds/question.wav"... any ideas what would cause this to be executed every second? | 12:37 |
| erUSUL | Dans34: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 12:37 |

| dual | Ubuntu has worked great for a few months | 12:38 |
| dual | But after installing VirtualBox, everything got messed up | 12:39 |
| robinparker | where do i get themes? i would like a black theme | 12:39 |
| dual | I ran your command, erUSUL, restarting X to see if there's any difference. I'll be back | 12:39 |
| erUSUL | dual: ompaul i saw this error before.... installing vbox couses the linux-image or the linux-*-modules to change from generic to 386 (iirc) and you loose your graphic drivers | 12:41 |

| yousif111 | DozedOnLinux: I m using File Roller 2.20.1 | 13:30 |

| DozedOnLinux | yousif111: that a backup ? | 13:30 |

| pawan | downloading vlc | 13:31 |
| histo | Huh i'm connected to here but I can't get to any websites. | 13:31 |

| tore | what tool can I use to easily meassure bandwidth pr. vhost in apache2? | 13:31 |
| faileas | yousif111: vfat/fat has a limit for maximum size per file which is 4 GB | 13:31 |
| faileas | use another partition to unrar to | 13:31 |
| histo | Also pidgin is working but no urls. It appears my dns is down from my isp? | 13:31 |
| histo | Is this an accurate assumption? | 13:31 |
| DozedOnLinux | pawan: well VLC is pretty nice, it multi-platform as well, so it is quite popular | 13:31 |
| yousif111 | DozedOnLinux: i want to burn it. the total file is 4.4 gb | 13:32 |
| pawan | ok | 13:32 |

| DozedOnLinux | histo: maybe flush your resolver ? you have iptables setup ? | 13:34 |
| emorris | drazak: did that, no idea how to interpret the results, just seemed to loop round | 13:34 |
| histo | DozedOnLinux: this is happening on all computers at my house | 13:34 |

| DozedOnLinux | histo: could be your isp is working on that DNS flaw, just an idea | 13:35 |
| drazak | histo: wait | 13:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | histo: yes setup your router to use OpenDNS | 13:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | or drazak may have something | 13:35 |
| histo | DozedOnLinux: what is opendns? | 13:35 |
| emorris | drazak: no | 13:35 |

| Jaggernaut | gaelfx : I downloaded the source and the version is 0.11.6 so it should be OK. But now comes another question.. How do I install packages from source? | 13:36 |
| DozedOnLinux | drazak: whats with that IP ? | 13:36 |
| * faileas was thinking of running his own... unbound looks pretty neat | 13:36 | |
| Jaggernaut | gaelfx: Ok | 13:36 |
| faileas | dns server that is | 13:36 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: that's a root dns server | 13:36 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: it's the NA root dns server | 13:36 |
| drazak | ;) | 13:36 |
| emorris | drazak: what is? | 13:36 |
| gaelfx | Jaggernaut: probably have to check the FAQ on the rhythmbox site, should be there | 13:36 |
| histo | DozedOnLinux: okay well how to I set that up where can I get the dns servers for opendns | 13:36 |
| DozedOnLinux | OrgName: Level 3 Communications, Inc. | 13:36 |

| faileas | drazak: boo, you are never supposed to use a root dns server | 13:36 |
| Jaggernaut | gaelfx: Ok i will check it out.. thanks | 13:36 |
| emorris | drazak: i have one 1GB stick and 1 512MB | 13:36 |
| drazak | histo: did you try the command? | 13:37 |
| DozedOnLinux | 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220OpenDNS | 13:37 |
| gaelfx | Jaggernaut: sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I don't have a lot of experience building packages from source | 13:37 |
| drazak | emorris: I don't know, there may be something wrong with your ram, but it's not a bad block, or else you would have had a bunch of red lines in the bottom | 13:37 |
| drazak | faileas: not never :P | 13:37 |
| gaelfx | Jaggernaut: alternatively, you could use a different player, is there any special reason you're using RB? | 13:37 |
| DozedOnLinux | histo: you can check the site out, if you wish, they been there for quite some time now. | 13:37 |
| drazak | faileas: I know a lot of places that use them | 13:37 |
| histo | drazak: I'm getting permission denied when I try to echo that with sudo for some reson but I can go in and just edit the file. | 13:37 |
| drazak | histo: ok | 13:38 |
| histo | drazak: do you just want me to add that nameserver | 13:38 |
| emorris | drazak: hmm. well, i originally did the memtest because openoffice crashes an awful lot | 13:38 |
| DozedOnLinux | histo: www.opendns.com oh set them up ? ok let me get you something | 13:38 |
| a100973 | is here someone with knowledge in soundcards an drivers? | 13:38 |
| drazak | histo: yeah, sorry, nameserver 4.2.2.1, but put it at the top | 13:38 |
| drazak | histo: the way the linux resolver works is to ping them from the top down, and if it receives a ping reply, it uses that one, even if their nameserver is not working | 13:38 |
| DozedOnLinux | histo: gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf | 13:39 |
| histo | drazak: do I need to restart the nameserver? | 13:39 |
| Jaggernaut | gaelfx: Not really, new to linux and ubuntu. Do you know any good alternative? | 13:39 |
| DozedOnLinux | histo: thos are your nameservers | 13:39 |
| histo | drazak: err the interface | 13:39 |
| drazak | histo: no | 13:39 |
| histo | drazak: Yeah its working now | 13:39 |
| drazak | histo: it polls them every time you send a dns request | 13:39 |
| gaelfx | Jaggernaut: well... I use Amarok, but it's not good if you're trying to save space on your hard drive | 13:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | drazak: i have seen this method as well > echo '4.2.2.1' > /etc/resolv.conf | 13:40 |
| drazak | histo: that's not the perfect fix, as others have mentioned, but it'll let you do some research to find out what you want to set your router to for a nameserver | 13:40 |
| histo | drazak: well who's nameserver is that? | 13:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | histo: that is Level 3 Comuncations | 13:40 |
| drazak | histo: internic | 13:40 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: wrong | 13:41 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: internic | 13:41 |

| robinparker | Help, why the video is without sound ? but ubuntu detects my sound card? | 13:41 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: level3 owns the ip | 13:41 |
| Jaggernaut | gaelfx: Ok I have no problem with space so I give amarok a try | 13:41 |
| DozedOnLinux | drazak: ok owned :) | 13:41 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: whomever owns the ip doesn't necessarily mean who owns the server :P | 13:42 |
| DozedOnLinux | drazak: you need not explain | 13:42 |
| drazak | DozedOnLinux: that's actually a multihomed ip address, so level3 is just one of the paths | 13:42 |
| DozedOnLinux | drazak: i know what level 3 is | 13:42 |

| drazak | DozedOnLinux: it lets him use dns for now | 13:44 |
| robinparker | Help, why the video is without sound ? but ubuntu detects my sound card? | 13:44 |

| dolo | and uses usplash? | 14:21 |
| ph8 | They have internet access through eth0 which uses 192.168.1.1 | 14:21 |
| damasceno | My english is ugly ;~ | 14:22 |
| sgodsell | Billll, just download a ff2 version from mozilla.org | 14:22 |
| jp_lin | when you delete a file in Ubuntu Hardy where does it go? ... like the path in the Filesystem ....? | 14:22 |
| viclim | damasceno, vmware workstation allow you to create image file, vmware-player does not | 14:22 |
| drazak | ph8: ahh, you have it on eth1? | 14:22 |
| damasceno | jp_lin, first, you delete: apt-get remove package | 14:22 |
| sgodsell | Billll, run it from a terminal window. If you get a message then paste it | 14:22 |
| damasceno | and, you search in bash: whereis package | 14:22 |
| damasceno | ;) | 14:22 |
| drazak | ph8: you have to tell ping to use eth1 instead of eth0 | 14:22 |
| burhan | ph8: why don't you just connect them all to the same net? 192.168.1.0/24 ? | 14:22 |
| viclim | damasceno, for vmware-player there's a very tedious workaround though, which i used b4 | 14:22 |
| sgodsell | Billll, most likely it will need the compatible libraries | 14:23 |
| drazak | ph8: ping -I eth1 :) | 14:23 |
| jp_lin | damasceno: I am looking for a folder that I deleted ,... and its in the trash but refuses to be completely removed | 14:23 |
| Billll | sgodshell I found linux download for firefox | 14:23 |
| damasceno | jp_lin, hum... | 14:23 |
| viclim | damasceno, since you are going to emulate OS, so workstation will be ideal for you, for 1 month -.- | 14:23 |
| Billll | ff2* | 14:24 |
| jp_lin | damasceno: also I have no .Trash folder in my Home folder | 14:24 |
| jp_lin | :-( | 14:24 |
| dolo | have you tried typing rm -rf ~/.Trash/* in terminal | 14:24 |
| sgodsell | Billll, I believe the latest is 2.0.0.16 for ff2 | 14:24 |
| damasceno | viclim, thanks guy! | 14:24 |
| drazak | damasceno: vmware server is free, and it's better, just use that :) | 14:24 |
| ph8 | burhan: the router is 10/100T - i need gigabit and don't have any routers capable - so using crossover | 14:24 |
| ph8 | drazak: will try that thx | 14:24 |
| Billll | yes | 14:24 |
| damasceno | In channel of brazil, the guys dont help. | 14:24 |

| jp_lin | emorris: ok will look there | 14:25 |
| Lanei | gah. Looks like nobody has any idea why my system isn't working. bleh. If you guys don't have a clue, I'm screwed. Bleh. Ah well. I'll keep hunting through google | 14:26 |
| dolo | jp_lin: have you already tried typing rm -rf ~/.Trash/* in the terminal? | 14:26 |
| viclim | drazak, does the vmware server has the create image feature? | 14:26 |
| drazak | viclim: yes | 14:26 |
| metincan | selam | 14:26 |
| drazak | viclim: vmware server lets you do anything | 14:26 |
| ph8 | drazak / burhan: I just get a destination host unreachable with ping -I eth1 10.0.0.2 (from 10.0.0.3) | 14:27 |
| emorris | dolo: ~/.Trash no longer exists in hardy | 14:27 |
| viclim | drazak, aiz...never try b4...thanks for the info | 14:27 |
| Grobvok | It lets you take over the world. | 14:27 |
| drazak | ph8: ok | 14:27 |
| jp_lin | emorris: is there a trash for root?? | 14:27 |
| Grobvok | There is no root. | 14:27 |
| dolo | so i dont have hardy? | 14:27 |
| drazak | ph8: why don't you pastebin your ifconfig eth1 for us? | 14:28 |
| ph8 | any other ideas? | 14:28 |
| ph8 | k | 14:28 |
| dolo | where do you see what version of linux your running | 14:28 |
| Grobvok | dolo: Type lsb_release -a in a terminal | 14:28 |

| drazak | dolo: uname -a | 14:28 |
| * Lanei kicks her linux box and heads to bed. | 14:29 | |
| jp_lin | dolo: is there a trash for root?? | 14:29 |
| drazak | ph8: I think your netmask is fudged | 14:29 |
| Grobvok | jp_lin: There is no root! | 14:29 |
| emorris | jp_lin, Grobvok: yes, /root/.local/share/Trash | 14:29 |
| Nutt718 | I need some help..I have a .bin fle on my Ubuntu desktop I need to move to a directory. Can anyone tell me how? | 14:29 |
| ph8 | drazak: I'm not really sure what the netmask means, i generally use 255.255.255.0 - but won't that be in use on the other connection? | 14:30 |
| drazak | ph8: try just ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2/24 and so on | 14:30 |
| dolo | jp_lin: im not sure i dont know if i have the same version as you , but when i had a problem with my folder being empty and icon still looked full i typed that | 14:30 |
| dolo | seemed to work | 14:30 |
| Grobvok | Now that just doesn't make any sense at all. | 14:30 |
| ph8 | drazak: What's the /24 do? | 14:30 |
| jp_lin | emorris: /root ? | 14:30 |
| emorris | Grobvok: you can run commands as root by using sudo and its friends. If a user did sudo nautilus, they could delete something and it would go in root's trash folder | 14:30 |
| dolo | where would it say gutsy or hardy? | 14:30 |
| drazak | ph8: it tells it to use the broadcast and netmask for a network with 10.0.0.* | 14:31 |
| sgodsell | Billll, did you download it and install it? | 14:31 |
| ph8 | haha | 14:31 |
| ph8 | changing netmask to 255.255.255.0 sorted it | 14:31 |
| ph8 | thx | 14:31 |
| drazak | ph8: np | 14:31 |
| emorris | jp_lin: /root is the home folder for root, just as /home/emorris could be my home folder | 14:31 |
| jp_lin | emorris: ok I got it ... but for some reason whatever I delete from that folder right away re-appears ...!? | 14:32 |
| dolo | i typed uname -a but doesnt say hardy or gutsy | 14:32 |
| Grobvok | dolo: uname -a holds information about your kernel and such | 14:32 |
| uwe | hi guys | 14:32 |
| Grobvok | dolo: use lsb_release -a to find out about your distro. | 14:33 |
| emorris | jp_lin: you need to delete the equivalent .trashinfo file from /root/.local/Trash/info | 14:33 |
| dolo | cool | 14:33 |
| dolo | i do have hardy | 14:33 |
| jp_lin | emorris: I tried that as well.. they also re-appeared ... I finally deleted the folders "files" and "info" ... but something must be kinda messed up and is why I am getting these strange errors | 14:35 |

| dolo | dabbu: First you plug the laptop in , then place it in a full tub of water , the water will lubricate the inside and fix your problem | 15:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Retribution: its in /usr/bin/localedef | 15:03 |
| dolo | good call | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | php6th: reduce refresh rate | 15:03 |
| Oli``` | Gillpy: ubuntu doesn't use a "root" password (it's random and hidden for security) but you could set one, stop gdm, remove yourself from the sudo group and then log out. Wouldn't stop a user logging in but it would now mean they couldn't do anything without the actual root password | 15:04 |
| Retribution | yeah, I know guys. But the file itself is missing after I tried the upgrade. I assume that there isn't a way to get that file besides a total reinstall? | 15:04 |
| php6th | ActionParsnip: how can i do that? catalyst says 60hz | 15:04 |

| pawan | how to install fonts in hardy | 15:07 |
| ttmrichter | opt1k_: Mono is a .NET implementation for Linux. | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !fonts | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 15:07 |
| ttmrichter | opt1k_: Aside from Mono, there are a lot of VM's available with varying levels of support. | 15:07 |
| Oli``` | opt1k_: Mono supports some of VB.net - it's not as advanced as the C# parser by any means | 15:07 |
| opt1k_ | ttmrichter: is mono working without problems? | 15:08 |

| histo | bastid_raZor: because you aren't doing a dist upgrade. | 15:34 |

It still runs (presumably) well, however it has no vidcard in it (uses ISA slots and I have been unable to locate one for it) is there a way to do a completely headless server install without needing to log into the machine and prompt it through the installation options? | 16:28 |

| Nutt718 | I just followed your instructons. s there something wrong? | 16:29 |
| Nelson_Apart | Taladan, what comes up in my mind first is that you take out the harddisk and set it up and then put it back to the server :P | 16:29 |

| marcus__ | oi bia? | 17:34 |
| mercutio22 | marcus__: tenta o #ubuntu-br | 17:34 |
| wols_ | underandy: either 2 or 3 partitions. a / a swap and maybe /home or /data | 17:34 |

| zenwryly | I upgraded a package to the version in intrepid which also upgraded some dependencies. Since then, I found a way to solve my problem without using the intrepid version. I'd like to return to hardy I don't have a list of the dependencies that were upgraded to intrepid. If there a way I can automatically return them to hardy or find out what packages are from intrepid so I can manually downgrade them? | 17:35 |
| Madc01 | but has drivers and is recognised and everything | 17:35 |
| unop | underandy, I would use a dedicated partition to hold the FTP data - but that's just me, easier backups and management | 17:35 |
| bazhang | zenwryly, #ubuntu+1 | 17:35 |
| wols_ | zenwryly: no way. you can check dpkg.log | 17:35 |
| zenwryly | bazhang: ?? | 17:35 |
| Pelto | gabbler: if u use xvid, u can use avidemux | 17:36 |
| underandy | getting the basic one then, / swap and hoe | 17:36 |
| bazhang | zenwryly, no way to downgrade | 17:36 |
| zenwryly | wols_: ok, thanks | 17:36 |
| underandy | would be fine? | 17:36 |
| unop | zenwryly, sudo aptitude install package=version_no | 17:36 |
| wols_ | zenwryly: next time, do a backport | 17:36 |
| zenwryly | unop: I know that, the problem is *which packages* | 17:36 |
| gabbler | pelto: thanks i need something that is ps3 compatible, x264 is but is a pain where divs 'just works' i have used windows apps in the past but want to get it all on my ubuntu server | 17:36 |
| unop | zenwryly, well, which intrepid package did you install? | 17:36 |
| zenwryly | bazhang: I didn't upgrade the whole system to intrepid | 17:37 |
| zenwryly | unop: emacs-snapshot* | 17:37 |

| wols_ | zenwryly: if you find the dependencies (see dpkg.log) you can downgrade manually. but it will be dicey | 17:37 |

| Hans-Martin | []Chriss[]: have you looked at the various system logs? | 18:17 |
| sobji | Has anyone here experience with the ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo? How well does it work with Linux? I heard it's doing a pretty good job for its price, but no linux hardware list offers any information about it. And neither about the chips onbard. | 18:17 |
| ikonia | sobji: P5K ? | 18:18 |
| wols_ | sobji: ##hardware | 18:18 |
| zulizzi | anyone, please help me installing nvidia-cg-toolkit! | 18:18 |
| sobji | wols_: I was in #hardware, I was redirected here | 18:18 |
| wols_ | ikonia: P45 mobo, not p35 | 18:18 |
| sobji | ikonia: what about it? | 18:18 |
| ikonia | wols_: ahh thank you | 18:18 |
| []Chriss[] | Might be worth asking my question again? See above at 18:14 | 18:18 |
| amenado | trigpin-> you wanted to find out the effect right? so turn it off | 18:18 |
| ikonia | sobji: not to worry, I had info on th P5k, just checking you'd not made a typo | 18:18 |
| jonasbjork | how do I find fonts:/// in Ubuntu 8.04 ? I could use "open location" in nautlius and type fonts:/// before, it does not work in 8.04 | 18:19 |
| wols_ | sobji: check asus for specs | 18:19 |
| sobji | wols_: yea, I did. | 18:19 |
| zulizzi | somebody | 18:19 |
| wols_ | sobji: but I can tell you you will have problems with hardy and the SATA controller | 18:19 |
| sobji | wols_ how do you know? :) | 18:19 |
| wols_ | cause I know the hardware and never have even seen the board or manual or such | 18:20 |
| Hans-Martin | []Chriss[]: I noticed it, but without looking at the relevant logs you might not be able to find out what happens | 18:20 |
| zulizzi | nvidia-cg-toolkit package is not working!! | 18:20 |
| wols_ | !doesn't work | zulizzi | 18:20 |
| ubottu | zulizzi: 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. | 18:20 |
| zulizzi | I mean i can't install it | 18:20 |
| zulizzi | there is something wrong | 18:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols_ Isnt that the nforce 4 dual sata controller thing? | 18:21 |
| wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: what? the P5Q? it's a intel based mobo | 18:21 |
| gigatropolis | I need to install subversion 1.5 on ubuntu hardy. need help | 18:21 |
| []Chriss[] | Did I miss a response at all? :-/ | 18:21 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: subversion is in the repo's | 18:21 |
| soundray | zulizzi: "something wrong" is just as useful as "doesn't work" | 18:21 |
| wols_ | and at this point in time, hardy's kernel doesn't support ICH10 -> no sata | 18:21 |
| gigatropolis | how to do this | 18:21 |
| zulizzi | dpkg tried to download one file from a URL but seems that URL is not working. | 18:21 |
| wols_ | []Chriss[]: yes, mine | 18:22 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: open your package manager, search for subversion and hit install | 18:22 |
| zulizzi | you can try | 18:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols_ one of those had a dual sata controller that was a pain. nforce was the chipset on one of them | 18:22 |
| sobji | wols_: no SATA means that I can't even use my harddisc and burners? | 18:22 |
| === justin_ is now known as zenlunatic | ||
| []Chriss[] | Sorry, internet connection dropped out :( | 18:22 |
| soundray | zulizzi: have you tried 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-cg-toolkit'? | 18:22 |
| wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: nforce is about 3 years or so back. you cannot buy a new nf4 mobo anymore. well maybe some leftover stocks | 18:22 |
| zulizzi | tyes | 18:22 |

| aguitel | i want to try virtualbox ,how install it ? | 18:23 |
| wols_ | !vbox | aguitel | 18:23 |
| ubottu | aguitel: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 18:23 |

| ubottu | zulizzi, please see my private message | 18:23 |
| Hans-Martin | []Chriss[]: there's probably nobody here who can tell you what's wrong with your printer if you don't provide information from the logs... | 18:23 |
| sobji | wols_: no SATA means that I can't even use my harddisc and burners? | 18:24 |
| []Chriss[] | How do I provide the log information sorry? | 18:24 |

| rbrunhuber | Can anyone assist with a rtl8187 usb wlan stick? | 18:25 |
| wols_ | !ask | rbrunhuber | 18:25 |
| ubottu | rbrunhuber: 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. :-) | 18:25 |
| ghostlines | has anyone else noticed that the 'file operations' speed isn't accurate? | 18:25 |
| rbrunhuber | I see very low signal strength and cannot associate | 18:25 |
| zulizzi | when dpkg downloading something, will it tell us the download percentage? | 18:25 |
| Hans-Martin | []Chriss[]: look into /var/log/syslog and try to find anything that looks like it is related to your printer | 18:25 |
| TheLouis | I am trying to enable a shared printer through the CUPS web interface -- How do I check if the printer is indeed being shared? (the check box is enabled but my windows client can't sees nothing in %hostname/printers) | 18:25 |
| wols_ | zulizzi: dpkg doesn't download anything | 18:25 |
| soundray | frybye: is the microphone selected for input and unmuted? | 18:25 |
| usser | TheLouis, did u restart samba? | 18:26 |
| Dusk_ | what's the apt-get searching command? | 18:26 |
| usser | TheLouis, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 18:26 |
| frybye | soundray: where to do that - sorry I am so lame at this..? | 18:26 |
| gigatropolis | ikonia: subersion is 1.4 in hardy and intreped i think | 18:26 |
| TheLouis | usser: will try that, thanks! | 18:26 |
| rbrunhuber | Dusk_: apt-cache search | 18:26 |
| soundray | frybye: in the same mixer panel | 18:26 |
| frybye | soundray: I would know in kde but new to gnome... | 18:26 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: what do you need 1.5 for ? | 18:26 |
| zulizzi | see this : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/36250/ | 18:27 |
| gigatropolis | i found this link https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/subversion/1.5.0dfsg1-1ubuntu2 Now is there a way to change the sources.list and .preferences to download this version? | 18:27 |
| Qix | how do I copy/resume a filetransfer? | 18:27 |
| TheLouis | usser: still nothing | 18:27 |
| raut | I have wireless drivers for my laptop installed, and a wireless router, but I have no idea how to get the router to recognize the laptop, could someone help me out? | 18:27 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: what do you need 1.5 for ? | 18:27 |
| gigatropolis | ikonia: the project I'm involved with needs that version. Not my idea | 18:27 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: it shouldn't be version specific | 18:28 |
| o0splitpaw0o | #chris | 18:28 |
| gigatropolis | 1.4 doesn't work. That's all I know | 18:28 |
| usser | TheLouis, also restart cups sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart | 18:28 |
| gigatropolis | the build uses some 1.5 feature | 18:28 |
| raut | I have wireless drivers for my laptop installed, and a wireless router, but I have no idea how to get the router to recognize the laptop, could someone help me out? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: I think you need to find out a little more info about why and what doesn't work | 18:28 |
| neuro__ | hello | 18:29 |
| soundray | frybye: I've just tested it here, there's a trick | 18:29 |
| RemsSs | hello neur | 18:29 |
| neuro__ | hey, I have just switched to Linux, wonderful! | 18:29 |
| sobji | wols_: are you ignoring me? | 18:29 |
| TheLouis | usser: still nothing. I believe that the webUI already restarted both of those. I got a message saying "server is restarting" | 18:29 |
| []Chriss[] | I can't see anything related to my printer, but I'm not too sure what I'd be looking for. I've opened a few, but again, nothing obvious... :-/ | 18:29 |
| gigatropolis | anyway, I would still like to know how to get this installed. | 18:29 |
| os2mac | is there a way, to adjust the order in which startup programs are loaded in the GUI (much like you do in /etc/rc2.d)? | 18:29 |
| zulizzi | anybody? | 18:29 |
| raut | I have wireless drivers for my laptop installed, and a wireless router, but I have no idea how to get the router to recognize the laptop, could someone help me out? | 18:30 |
| soundray | frybye: the input you have to enable is called "Front Mic Boost". It's not displayed by default. You have to go Edit-Preferences and enable it | 18:30 |
| Hans-Martin | []Chriss[]: ok, so let's start with simple commands. what does "lpq" print? | 18:30 |
| neuro__ | I need an offline english dictionary? | 18:30 |
| []Chriss[] | lpq: error - no default destination available. | 18:30 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Ok ,i have just installed Ubuntu from ubuntuserver and the graphics are a mess, I can hardly see a thing. how can I fix this. Xorg.conf yilded no information. | 18:30 |

| Hamra | hi, i'm running ubuntu LiveCD now, doing "dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda" to clone my hard disk to another empty identical one, how can i know where dd reached? there is no output to know. | 18:31 |
| TheLouis | I am trying to enable a shared printer through the CUPS web interface -- How do I check if the printer is indeed being shared? (the check box is enabled but my windows client can't sees nothing in %hostname/printers). Restarted samba/cupsys. | 18:31 |
| neuro__ | please, help the offline english dictionary, openddict and others need internet, i dont have internet at school where I need the dict! | 18:31 |
| LinuxGhost | Does anyone knows some webpage for free movie download? | 18:31 |

| TheLouis | neuro_: check the add/remove software app. i seem to remember there being a few dictionaries | 18:32 |
| LinuxGhost | imaginal, try switch | 18:32 |
| raut | I have wireless drivers for my laptop installed, and a wireless router, but I have no idea how to get the router to recognize the laptop, could someone help me out? | 18:32 |
| gigatropolis | ikonia: Would you know how to install subversion 1.5? | 18:32 |
| neuro_ | TheLouis: huh, thanks for the ping :) | 18:32 |
| TheLouis | usser: thanks for the help in any case! I'm adding this on top of a mythbuntu install and there was no CUPS to begin with | 18:32 |
| soundray | Hamra: there isn't a good way of assessing the progress if it's already running | 18:33 |
| Qix | how do I copy/resume a filetransfer? I've read about ecp but how do I install that? | 18:33 |
| Hans-Martin | []Chriss[]: output of "lpstat -a" ? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | gigatropolis: I think you need to go and find more detail about why you think you need subversion 1.5 - eg: what functions and features are needed | 18:33 |
| Kumo | raut, can you pick up any networks? | 18:33 |
| TheLouis | neuro_: np =) | 18:33 |

| soundray | frenkel: don't know, but fixing should be easy | 18:43 |
| frenkel | soundray: how? | 18:43 |
| Yarcanox | frenkel you could just change your default resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:43 |
| soundray | frenkel: 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 18:43 |
| frenkel | no, it worked in 7.04 and before | 18:43 |
| frenkel | and now in 8.04 it doesn't work automatically | 18:43 |
| frenkel | that's a regression | 18:44 |

| frybye | which eeepc do you have?? | 18:45 |

| soundray | LimCore: is there anything to fix your repeated rude behaviour? | 19:02 |
| LimCore | soundray: yes, fix ubuntu. Plus I dont think calling failure a failure is rude. Only honest | 19:03 |

| simotempler | hi there - i am about to talk my uncle through installing ubuntu - im trying to convert him - he has vista and wants to know can he install ubuntu inside vista or will i have to set up a virtual box to do this? | 19:14 |
| LogicalDash | ewin_: Most dongles require special drivers, don't they? Do you have some for yours? | 19:14 |
| KusUmok | Is it normal for the installation to say 4 Kb/s? | 19:14 |
| simotempler | i thought there was a feature to install ubuntu inside windows in 8.04 | 19:14 |
| LogicalDash | simotempler: Sure, just use http://wubi-installer.org/ | 19:14 |
| hateball | simotempler: It's called Wubi | 19:14 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Can anybody help me? I have just completed an installation of Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, however the problem is there is no active internet connection. When I select manual configuration, there is only the 'Modem' option available for dial up. This isn't appropriate for my connection though as I have broadband. Does anybody know how to correct this? Will I have to manually install the relevant drivers for my NIC? | 19:15 |
| amenado | simotempler-> both ways, wubi is for temporary, virtualization can be permanent | 19:15 |
| SNuxoll | SealedWithAKiss: try using a newer version of Ubuntu | 19:15 |
| simotempler | is wubi no good really then for longterm | 19:15 |
| SNuxoll | SealedWithAKiss: Feisty is reaching end of life | 19:15 |
| amenado | SealedWithAKiss-> yes, you have to have a driver for your nic, ethernet nic? | 19:15 |
| LogicalDash | simotempler: with Wubi there are some extra security risks, since anyone who successfully hacks your Windows also has all your Ubuntu files | 19:16 |
| simotempler | isnt there a virtualbox in vista already | 19:16 |
| LinuxGhost1 | Louis | 19:16 |
| vlaci | wubi is great, you can uninstall ubuntu in a second :) | 19:16 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Okay, other than using a newer version of Ubuntu how do I configure an internet connection. | 19:16 |
| LogicalDash | simotempler: also Wubi doesn't support hibernate | 19:16 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ? | 19:16 |
| LogicalDash | SealedWithAKiss: Why don't you want to use a newer version? | 19:16 |
| simotempler | ok cheers guys | 19:16 |
| ewin_ | LogicalDash, I'm not sure if it's a driver issue since the bluetooth keyboard and mouse seem to work... and at one point ubuntu used to make a bluetooth icon appear when it was plugged in. Maybe some automatic update broke it? | 19:16 |

| tacosteve | shabda, the package name is firefox-3.0 from the apt-cache search | 19:42 |
| bringatowel | shabda, that should give you the latest version of FF3, maybe there was some problem with update? did you use dist-upgrade? | 19:42 |
| Sonderblade | Spyder: lsmod | grep usb | 19:42 |
| emorris | shabda: the apt-get update is the important bit because it checks for upgrades | 19:42 |

| goodbyegravity | Spyder: If you're not getting the block device configured, I would think it's some issue with the drive partitioning/data. Have you tried it under another OS? | 19:46 |

| oxeimon1 | bringatowel: nice thanks | 19:47 |

| liamkmc | goodbyegravity: "Envy" is an application for Ubuntu Linux and Debian written in Python and PyGTK which will: | 19:53 |
| liamkmc | 1) detect the model of your graphic card (only ATI and Nvidia cards are supported) and install the appropriate driver. However automatic detection can be overridden with the "Manual installation" | 19:53 |

| mollusk | When I click the login window manager it appears then closes right away | 20:21 |
| kitche | [Relic] each patch most likely has to go though a testing period before you see it but probably is in proposeost likely if the bug report says it is does it? | 20:21 |

| rafa__ | Neku: you need to install the settings manager for compiz fusion to be able to take full advantage of all its features | 20:22 |
| trupheenix | where can i put in feature requests? | 20:22 |
| LabThug | dabbu, check your /etc/hosts file | 20:22 |
| ikonia | dabbu: boot into safe mode, put your laptop hostname in /etc/hosts and map it to a localhost net address eg: 127.0.0.1 | 20:22 |
| nixnoob | dabbu: you need to fix your /etc/hosts file | 20:22 |
| mollusk | ikonia, there is 20 gigs free | 20:23 |
| ikonia | mollusk: more than enough | 20:23 |
| nixnoob | mollusk: try starting it from terminal and see if it gives an error message? | 20:23 |
| ikonia | mollusk: had to check, thats a common cause | 20:23 |
| rafa__ | trupheenix: you can do that in launchpad i believe | 20:23 |
| ikonia | mollusk: or look in /var/log/gdm for the log files | 20:23 |
| [Relic] | kitche, someone reported there was a patch for it, the bug has been listed as confirmed for a long time, basically anyone with a 45nm needs to either have to make their own kernel or try a different linux that has the up-to-date changes in it, very silly not to support basic necessary functions effectively | 20:23 |
| dmsuperman | what about permissions on the home dir? | 20:23 |
| dabbu | i really dont understand what to map | 20:23 |
| Neku | rafa__: i think i jst got the settings manager im not sure how will i know? | 20:23 |
| ikonia | dabbu: look at /etc/hosts, you'll see ip addresses mapped to hostnames eg: 10.11.216.1 bob.mydomain.com | 20:23 |
| rafa__ | it should be in system > preferences | 20:24 |
| nixnoob | dabbu: what does your /etc/hosts file say pastebin it | 20:24 |
| kitche | [Relic]: if you say so considering that sensors for me is not basic necessary function | 20:24 |
| ikonia | dabbu: map your hostnme to a non-routable address eg: 127.0.1.2 | 20:24 |
| dabbu | ok | 20:24 |
| dabbu | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 20:24 |
| dabbu | 127.0.1.1 xxx.UCE | 20:24 |

| trupheenix | wols_: hi wols_ i replaced my iwl3945 drivers with the more stable ipw3945 drivers and my wireless performance is far better. the iwl3945 driver doesn't even have a basic feature like power management while the ipw3945 comes with power management. i think hardy should come with ipw3945 instead of the shoddy iwl3945 driver. | 20:24 |
| nixnoob | lol | 20:24 |
| LimCore | 1. get http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/boost/boost_1_35_0.7z | 20:24 |
| RageMachine | I need help, I have an external eSATA drive. Normally i turn it on during boot and it will be mounted to /external. I used it on another computer via usb, and now that i've hooked it up again, my bios recognizes it as plugged in via esata, but ubuntu says /external is empty. | 20:24 |
| [Relic] | kitche, for those who run their cores at 100% for projects it is to monitor the system | 20:24 |
| LimCore | 2. unpack it with 7z. does it fail? | 20:24 |
| dmsuperman | I'd say sensors are a basic necessary function...it's necessary to monitor your computer | 20:24 |
| dmsuperman | This isn't windows | 20:24 |
| ikonia | LimCore: thats not an ubuntu issue | 20:24 |
| kitche | [Relic]: I know I m not dumb | 20:24 |
| Neku | rafa__: im in system prefrences but it aint thr would i need to restart pc? | 20:25 |
| rafa__ | Neku: it should be in system > preference | 20:25 |
| LimCore | ikonia: 7z is ubuntu program | 20:25 |
| zelrikriando | eh do you know where I can get some support with kino? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | LimCore: no it's not | 20:25 |
| LabThug | Anyone know how to change the time panel into YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS format? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | LimCore: it's an open source program that you are using outside of ubuntu | 20:25 |
| dabbu | http://paste.ubuntu.com | 20:25 |
| dmsuperman | LimCore: 7z runs in ubuntu, but no it's not an ubuntu program | 20:25 |
| LimCore | uhm | 20:25 |
| mollusk | ikonia, I don't know which log file it would be | 20:25 |
| trupheenix | ikonia: where can i put in a suggestion that hardy should include the ipw3945 driver and not the iwl3945 driver? | 20:25 |
| kitche | [Relic]: considering that it's confirmed most likely it's in proposed like I told you but the new package needs testing before it gets put into the main repo | 20:25 |
| ikonia | muniek92: one moment | 20:25 |
| LimCore | I got it from ubutnu repos. Yea I know its not supported by cannonicetc | 20:25 |
| rafa__ | Neku: no restart should be required. linux doesnt need to restart everytime you install something like in windows, only kernel changes and driver installations require restarts | 20:25 |
| nixnoob | dabbu: the second line where it says xxx.UCE, remove .UCE | 20:26 |

| dabbu | i use internet over proxy..can i hack ubuntu to use maximum bandwidth | 20:32 |
| Erick|Laptop | LimCore, like the size of the CPU in Ghz, the total RAM | 20:32 |
| dmsuperman | Erick|Laptop: top, vmstat, cat /proc/cpuinfo are some others | 20:32 |
| hateball | RageMachine: Yeah... well if you didnt unmount it cleanly it'll behave like that. You can force ntfs-3g to mount it anyway tho | 20:32 |
| LimCore | ikonia: how to check in synaptic or command line, from which repository given package is? | 20:33 |
| ikonia | LimCore: it's ok - I've found it | 20:33 |
| RageMachine | hateball, and how would I do that? | 20:33 |
| jameslr | mrvirus: /dev/dsp what you're looking for? | 20:33 |
| LimCore | Erick|Laptop: try cpuid for quick, and hwinfo for VERY detailed info | 20:33 |
| LimCore | Erick|Laptop: both are cmd line apps | 20:33 |

| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 20:34 |

| jameslr | mrvirus: did you try that? | 20:34 |
| mrvirus | kk i'll try that.. see if it works . | 20:34 |

| mrvirus | james : still no sound.. the line i entered is as follows DSP:/dev/dsp twice as instructed by the commented section | 20:36 |

| hateball | RageMachine: Mounting with -o force is about the only thing you can do when it's messed up like that, that I know of. It could have gone totally corrupt if it was unmounted uncleanly in Windows, and then mounted in Linux. NTFS is proprietary after all :) | 20:39 |
| ikonia | zelrikriando: shouldn't do | 20:39 |
| ikonia | bepo: try ctrl+alt+backspace to see if X server restarts | 20:39 |

| IndyGunFreak | bepo: if you want it to start when you boot up, you'll need to add it to your startup programs.. it wont' start up automatically if you don't. | 20:53 |
| hateball | RageMachine: No, grub doesnt read that. It reads the info in /boot/grub/menu.lst amongst other things | 20:53 |

| jeeves__ | how can I scan an IP range with NMAP? | 20:55 |
| duiu | bepo: You can still install KDE apps on regular Ubuntu, however ify ou don't want to you could try cgmail | 20:55 |
| hateball | RageMachine: Yes once the OS boots, as far as I understand it. But to my knowledge, all grub is concerned with is where to look for /boot.... But I'm on thin ice here :p | 20:55 |
| RageMachine | hateball, ubuntu is hd1,2 and xp is hd0,0. this must be changed when the external is on. since neither works, perhaps the extenral becomes hd0,0? | 20:55 |
| duiu | bepo: apt-get install cgmail | 20:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: he's already installed it i think | 20:56 |
| bepo | duiu: i'm trying checkgmail, which one is the best ? | 20:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: i doubt a KDE app would work all that well in a gnome taskbar, but i could be wrong | 20:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | ... | 20:56 |
| Grobvok | php6th: Press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, log in again and then try. | 20:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: go to system/pref/sessions | 20:56 |
| duiu | bepo: No idea, although cgmail probably works with gnome better because it's a gnome based app, and checkgmail is just generic | 20:56 |
| Grobvok | php6th: It will close your current applications! | 20:56 |
| hateball | RageMachine: Well you should be able to boot one of the partitions with the external drive connected... And the one that doesnt boot obviously conflicts with it | 20:56 |
| RageMachine | hateball, if this was the case, then its logical to assume each other drive is what it was +1. so windows is now on hd1,0 | 20:57 |
| RageMachine | hateball, neither drive works. | 20:57 |
| php6th | Grobvok: i did that, rebooted even | 20:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | duiu: checkgmail is way better if you ask me.. i've tried them all... you can delete mail, mark it as spam, etc, without ever going to your account | 20:57 |
| RageMachine | hateball, hence I thought it takes up hd0,0 and thus the others must be assigned a different number | 20:57 |
| bepo | IndyGunFreak: we can do all that things whithout opening firefox ? | 20:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: yup.. | 20:57 |
| Grobvok | php6th: reinstall your video drivers. | 20:57 |
| hateball | RageMachine: Yeah... you could try going into the grub menu and change where it boots from. To see if it works at all. Not sure what a permanent fix would be tho | 20:58 |
| bepo | yeah, thanks | 20:58 |
| duiu | bepo: or you could just set up gmail with evolution, which is already integrated in wtih ubuntu | 20:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: if you get something you know as spam, you can mark it as spam, or just delete it, or if you see something you want to read, just cilck it and it will open your account | 20:58 |

| bepo | IndyGunFreak: i'm trying ;) if i have some problems, i'll tell you, thanks | 20:59 |
| jeeves__ | hateball, ahhh, I need to scan the top of one range, and the bottom of the next, and the GUI won't do it | 20:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: ok | 20:59 |
| hateball | RageMachine: Well grub shouldnt change anything unless you tell it to. Problem is if the external drive gets one of the assigned numbers, but I dont know how to fix it. man grub is probably a good place to start ;) | 21:00 |

| lokbehind | i have ubuntu installed and everytime i try to boot to it, it'll go through the load screen and then my monitor will flash "no signal" then it will just sit black forever. i have an 8800GT GPS, p5ne-sli mobo, and e8400 proc. thanks for any help | 21:16 |

| AndyB | frybye: Ok thanks ill go install xp first | 21:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: did you click OK? | 21:17 |
| goodbyegravity | lokbehind: I know what the problem is, but I'm not secure in explaining how to fix it. :S | 21:17 |
| frybye | then ubuntu 8.04 will normally do the rest pretty good... | 21:17 |
| goodbyegravity | lokbehind: It's loading a resolution/refresh that's too high for your monitor. | 21:17 |

| bepo | yes i did lol | 21:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: ok, just checking | 21:18 |
| lokbehind | how do i correct/fix it? | 21:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | cuz you're not doing something right. | 21:18 |
| aestrivex | hi, simple question: what terminal command do i use to show me video card specs? | 21:18 |
| goodbyegravity | lokbehind: The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf usually contains that information. I'm not exactly sure of a good GUI tool to edit it. | 21:18 |
| hateball | lokbehind: If you're on 8.04 X should autodetect... so you could try moving xorg.conf to a backup and restart X | 21:19 |
| lokbehind | goodbyegravity: possibly use knoppix to get it? | 21:19 |
| Grobvok | lokbehind: run a live distro which can access your hdd and change xorg.conf if you can't get it to boot to terminal somehow | 21:19 |
| DG19075 | lokbehind: gedit will edit the xorg.conf | 21:19 |
| Grobvok | lokbehind: I mean, not load x | 21:19 |
| goodbyegravity | lokbehind: Yeah, a live CD is a good idea. It may also have a default xorg.conf that you can swipe, but that can be dangerous. | 21:19 |
| ariqz | I can't get wireless interent working in ubuntu.

| IndyGunFreak | bepo: i hate mail clients period, i'm not really a person to ask that.. but i like them both.. Evolution, is more a "full featured" program, like Outlook, where thunderbird, would be more like outlook express, if that helps | 21:33 |

| IndyGunFreak | but it should work fine..lol | 21:45 |
| lokbehind | ikonia: i will try to get to a recovery mode. | 21:45 |
| gilda | lokbehind: a few files ? like the entirety of your hdd or just like a dir "? | 21:45 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | stepanstas use the live cd to boot back into ubuntu | 21:45 |
| bepo | IndyGunFreak: maybe i did a mistake or maybe my ubuntu is strange lol | 21:45 |
| Tedsa | http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=7906fba480bee8900f124af23177709f | 21:46 |
| bepo | whatever, thunderbird works, that's good | 21:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'm guessin the former.. wel, as long as Tbird works | 21:46 |
| appleswitch | Anyone know why "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" would be missing from a LiveCD? | 21:46 |
| lokbehind | gilda: in c:\ubuntu\[few things] | 21:46 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | bepo what till you graduate to evolution ;) | 21:46 |
| goodbyegravity | appleswitch: Perhaps you downloaded the wrong ISO? | 21:46 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | *wait | 21:46 |
| starenka | appleswitch: NO | 21:46 |
| gilda | lokbehind: but that in win correct ? | 21:46 |
| ra21vi | can someone tell me how can i only upgreade python packges from command lube | 21:46 |
| ra21vi | line* | 21:46 |
| dmi3on | deepVeinInsomnia, one think i cant tun all programes in ubuntu and play some games :( | 21:46 |
| stepanstas | deepVeinInsomnia, how could i boot back into ubuntu w/ cd? | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ra21vi: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:47 |
| ra21vi | ActionParsnip: no read the question carefully, | 21:47 |
| bepo | deepVeinInsomnia: you think that evolution is better ? | 21:47 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | shove it in boot up without changing anything and hey presto you'll at least be able to retrive your old information | 21:47 |
| gilda | lokbehind: you are probably gonna need a linux live cd in order to be able to mount your full ubuntu hdd | 21:47 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | bepo oh yeah big time, it's got a clender and everything | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ra21vi: sudo apt-get install <python app to update> | 21:48 |
| lokbehind | ikonia: im at the recovery menu. a: resume- resume normal boot b: dpkg-repair broken packages c. root-drop to root shell prompt d. xfix-try to fix the x server | 21:48 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | evolution handles multi account real well too | 21:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: its opinion, it all depends on your needs.. for your average user, Tbird is fine...(think outlook express), where Evolution, while fine for personal use, is more for like a corporate setting(think Outlook) | 21:48 |

| deepVeinInsomnia | though i'm not knocking thunderbird it's good for what it's supposed to do | 21:48 |
| starenka | doh so freakung massive channel | 21:48 |
| bepo | deepVeinInsomnia: but if i close thunderbird and i have an email, even if thunderbird is close, it'll notice me ? | 21:48 |
| lokbehind | gilda: i have knoppixx sitting next to me | 21:48 |
| stepanstas | okay | 21:48 |
| ra21vi | ActionParsnip: hah, thats not the thing I want... | 21:48 |
| gilda | lokbehind: sweet jack it in ! | 21:48 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | evolution doesn't have the minimise to try option yet | 21:48 |
| bepo | IndyGunFreak: i never used outlook, on windows i use gmail notifier so i dunno how outlook works | 21:48 |
| bepo | but thunderbird will notice me when i'll have an email ? even if i closed it ? | 21:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: well, checkgmail should be working fine for you.. don't know what you're doing wrong | 21:49 |
| Leefmc | aptitude purge removes config files right? So why is it not removing an apps ~/.appconfig directory? | 21:49 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | evolution is more outlook or rather outlook is more evolution lol | 21:49 |
| ra21vi | ActionParsnip: ok that workd, thanks :) | 21:49 |
| starenka | ==== please ===== | 21:49 |
| starenka | any1 has a slightest clue how to DELETE videos from ipod in amarok ot gtkpod? i can easily transfer those in but cant delete them (3rd gen nano) | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ra21vi: if you use install <package to update> it will only update that. I dont know the package name you need, use your loaf | 21:49 |
| starenka | ==== thanx ===== | 21:49 |
| lokbehind | gilda: ikonia asked me to get to the recovery menu. i finally got there and here are my choices: a: resume- resume normal boot b: dpkg-repair broken packages c. root-drop to root shell prompt d. xfix-try to fix the x server | 21:50 |

| starenka | bepo: no :) | 21:51 |
| ra21vi | one morething, If in irssi, I want to see only messages from someone. is there such feature to filter | 21:51 |
| gilda | lokbehind: heck try it all LOL - my suggestion would be to go to knoppix - mount ur ubuntu drive edit the xorg.conf - to something simple like the drive base as vesa / vga to get the boxen able to get to tty | 21:51 |
| ra21vi | ActionParsnip:yup, I choose python-uno and its working now... downloading | 21:51 |
| starenka | bepo: it will popup a small popup and play a sound, but it must be running | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ra21vi: cool | 21:51 |
| bepo | starenka: running like xchat ? or minimize in the taskbar ? | 21:52 |
| Webu | Is there a command to see does my motherboard use USB 1.1 or 2.0? | 21:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: you could try installing Mail notification.. its similar to checkgmail.. but its for any pop3 client | 21:52 |
| starenka | bepo: r we talking about thunderbird? what xchat? :))) | 21:52 |
| Webu | Or which chipset my motherboard uses. | 21:52 |

| lokbehind | gilda: one sec trying the recovery things, booting, and then seeing if it works. so far does not look like it is helping :( | 21:52 |
| trumpetmic | hi | 21:52 |
| starenka | bepo: me neither, don't worry, son | 21:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Webu: i think lsusb will tell you that, not positive though | 21:53 |
| ra21vi | lokbehind: do you have problem running X | 21:53 |
| NubbCakes | i installed the package "phpmyadmin" and have a working sql server from that but what I'm compiling checks for mysql and finds nothing. Do I need to point it to a specific directory or do I need to compile mysql source code from the site? | 21:53 |
| trumpetmic | what's the simplest distro for sharing files with windows? | 21:53 |
| bepo | starenka: xchat is open in the bottom bar, but can i minimize thunderbird in the top bar ? to just have an icon like pidgin when it's close | 21:53 |
| lokbehind | ra21vi: running X? | 21:53 |
| ra21vi | trumpetmic: anyone | 21:53 |
| Tallken | hey guys, we have a bot at UbuntuForums, name "myfriends", sent me a link which appeared to be at ubuntu forums but is actually a link to some foreign site... | 21:53 |
| php6th | trumpetmic: none, just use samba | 21:53 |
| trumpetmic | i've used samba before | 21:53 |
| trumpetmic | had it working with gentoo, fedora, and ubuntu | 21:54 |
| Webu | IndyGunFreak, ooo thanks, lsusb -v! | 21:54 |
| trumpetmic | but none of them were totally simple | 21:54 |
| starenka | bepo: you can minimize or close. if you close it - it's closed. if you minimize you will see it in the tray (and get notifications) | 21:54 |
| Flannel | Tallken: #ubuntu-ops is the place to go for that | 21:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Webu: ah, didn't think of -v.. good catch | 21:54 |
| NubbCakes | should i try compiling the mysql source with the "--without-server" option since i have sql working already? | 21:54 |
| gilda | <brb> | 21:54 |
| ra21vi | lokbehind: nevermind | 21:54 |
| Tallken | thx Flannel :) | 21:54 |
| trumpetmic | i'm hoping there's a distro that hasa focus on sharing files with windows... and makes configuring samba simple | 21:54 |
| bepo | argh how can i explain this starenka... | 21:54 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| php6th | trumpetmic: configure samba is easy... apt-get install samba | 21:55 |
| bobbob1016 | trumpetmic, It isn't a distro that means it is easier, not really, some have tools to do it, but don't pick a distro just for Samba compatibility. I don't have issues, but that could be because I have the same username and password on my computers. | 21:55 |

| === num1_ is now known as num1 | ||
| bobbob1016 | trumpetmic, try "sudo apt-get install system-config-samba" then "sudo system-config-samba" should give you the same config panel as Fedora. | 21:56 |
| bepo | starenka: i want it as an icon in the right of the bar with your us flag etc | 21:56 |
| waz | !pastebin | 21:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | bepo: i just delete the bottom panel, then to the top panel, i "add to panel", and add "Window Selector".. then when I want to select a different program, i click that button, and it gives you a drop down of open programs, and i choose the one i want | 21:56 |

| Cocoabean | bobbob0116: try using regular cat5 cable and you can at least see if it is your computers or not | 21:59 |

| bobbob1016 | Cocoabean, It's a bit far to do that. I know it isn't my computers though, this one has gigabit. | 22:00 |
| Cocoabean | is the gigabit integrated bobbob1016 | 22:00 |

| keri | hello i use facebook and it keeps telling me that i need upgrade adobe and i already have javascript enable and flashplayer 9 nonfree | 22:06 |
| gilda | KristianDK: is the relaying error coming with domains that you have via the postfix or domains sending to your mail serve | 22:07 |
| Webu | What to add after a command to make it output page per page? | 22:07 |
| Cocoabean | bobbob1016: ratings are sometimes deceiving because the bottlenecks lie elsewhere | 22:07 |

| bobbob1016 | Cocoabean, I think you are reading from a bad place then, since they couldn't sell 85mbps and 200mbps if they only got 3 or 4mbps | 22:07 |

| KristianDK | gilda, its only when im sending from "outside", when im doint it from "inside" i get "<lektier@lektiebogen.eu>: mail for lektiebogen.eu loops back to myself" | 22:09 |
| Cocoabean | bobbob1016: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/power-network1.htm advantages and disadvantages part | 22:09 |
| bobbob1016 | Cocoabean, I always get confused, 30MBps is bits or bytes? The problem is probably elsewhere, as you said, but I am having the issue on multiple computers, not just one. | 22:09 |
| bepo | IndyGunFreak: it's a very good program, i can check if i want it to start when i open my session | 22:09 |
| gilda | KristianDK: you may be sending from a domain that does not allow relaying at all vs a strict mx record to the mail domain | 22:09 |
| Cocoabean | bobbob1016: i use a captiol B for bytes and a lowercase b for bits | 22:10 |

| keri | i use facebook and it tells me i need upgrade adobe flash player., i all ready have javascript and it is enable and I have flash player non free and utube is not working eiter what can i do | 22:11 |
| Cocoabean | bobbob1016: is the issue always with computers that are linked via powerline | 22:11 |
| Flannel | acidburn: You might have more luck in #kubuntu | 22:11 |
| gilda | KristianDK: lol i understand the problem but i am not a postfix guru so im not overly sure how to help you there | 22:11 |
| Cocoabean | or are ony that are on the same switch doing the same thing | 22:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | keri: are you using 64bit ubuntu? | 22:11 |
| KristianDK | gilda, the problem is neither am i :P | 22:11 |
| keri | IndyGunFreak: i dont know how do i find out' | 22:12 |
| bobbob1016 | Cocoabean, Well I know that site is wrong, since I get 3-4 times the speed they say. "It only works with Windows-based computers." Using it on Linux and Mac, so their info is outdated. Yes, it is only with those computers. | 22:12 |
| acidburn | cheers flannel | 22:12 |
| KristianDK | gilda, but can it be a bad config of the MX records, in your oppinion? | 22:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | keri: in a terminal, uname -r paste output | 22:12 |
| cableroy_ | Hi, i hit my keyboard then suddenly gnome turned sepia look-a-like how do i change back? since i just hit my keyboard i don't know what i pushed | 22:12 |
| Grand_Master | does anyone know if i can edit the info displayed by sysmonitor? | 22:12 |
| bobbob1016 | Cocoabean, I can share with the other computers on this side of the pbl at normal speeds, but not on the other side. | 22:12 |
| gilda | KristianDK: see part of the issue is some ISPs do not allow mail outside of their domain to travel thru their connections and drop errors 550 relaying not allowed | 22:12 |
| nDuff | keri, if "uname -m" says x86_64, you're 64-bit. | 22:12 |
| Cocoabean | bobbob1016: then the problem has to be with your wiring or your powerline networking hardware | 22:13 |
| r3dbuddha | I need some help from you guys, I'm looking for a good text editor that is straight forward to use. I am learning currently php, xhtml, MySQL, and Python, the editor should have syntax for all of those, and be easy for newbies, any suggestions? | 22:13 |
| nDuff | r3dbuddha, you're really best off biting the bullet and learning vim | 22:13 |
| gilda | KristianDK: especially when using an alternate smtp connection through your client - becuz of the way it bounces thru the system it cannot validate correctly to alt domains | 22:13 |
| Flannel | r3dbuddha: gedit should do all those though. | 22:13 |
| KristianDK | gilda, i dont get 550, i get "554 554 5.7.1 " | 22:13 |
| nDuff | r3dbuddha, there's more of a learning curve than you may be looking for, but it really pays off in the long term. | 22:13 |
| gilda | KristianDK: is that error within postfix or in your mail client | 22:14 |
| Grand_Master | what is vim nDuff? | 22:14 |
| bobbob1016 | Cocoabean, Do you use PBL or have any experience with it? Or more to the point, know a way to fix this, short of re-wiring my house? | 22:14 |

| nDuff | Grand_Master, gvim is the graphical version. | 22:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | keri: uname -r if you got that output, you entered it wrong | 22:15 |
| Flannel | r3dbuddha: Try SciTE, it's in the repos | 22:15 |
| gilda | KristianDK: hmmmm so its not just mail specific then | 22:15 |
| nDuff | IndyGunFreak, what's the point to uname -r? Gives kernel version, sure, but not architecture. | 22:15 |
| Grobvok | Grand_Master: do a "sudo apt-get install vim" cause ubuntu comes with a basic version of vim which does not suport some things such as syntax highlighting. | 22:15 |
| KristianDK | gilda, i dont understand what you mean, but i get several domains, and it seems to work on some of them, the ones i added at first | 22:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | nDuff: you know, you're absolutely correct, to tired i guess. | 22:16 |
| infinitycircuit | nDuff, it is useful for scripts, for instance ls /lib/firmware/$(uname -r), because of folder naming conventions | 22:16 |

| IndyGunFreak | keri: make that uname -a | 22:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | sorry | 22:16 |
| Cocoabean | bobbob1016: i dont use powerline networking but i know enough about networking to know that the wiring makes a big difference, and that the problem lies there or in your hardware, most likely the wiring though because the throughput ratings would not be that grossly overrated | 22:16 |

| Cocoabean | TheLouis, i did it Thursday night | 22:22 |
| DanaG | It's not good to go behind the package manager's back and install Flash manually. | 22:22 |
| allen | anyone here installed tftp-hpa? | 22:22 |
| DanaG | You can miss upgrades, by having it use the old version, for example. | 22:22 |
| Cocoabean | it took me about 20 minutes, and i can tunnel to it from work and use it via itunes on my work computer | 22:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | DanaG: when the package manager isn't working for him, what else would you like to suggest?... | 22:22 |
| metheon | So, my AWN dock refuses to not be transparent, any suggestions? | 22:22 |
| TheLouis | cocoabean: cool i'll pm you if i get confused, if that's okay | 22:22 |

| IndyGunFreak | DanaG: i'd suggest you follow the conversation before commenting | 22:23 |

| Cocoabean | TheLouis: make sure you install the avahi-daemon | 22:24 |
| keri | IndyGunFreak: ok done | 22:24 |
| Cocoabean | shares are discovered via MDNS | 22:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | keri: open a terminal | 22:24 |
| Cocoabean | so without avahi, your other machines wont detect teh share | 22:24 |
| keri | ok | 22:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | now, CD into the flash directory... | 22:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | will be something like cd /home/username/install_flash_player_directory | 22:25 |
| TheLouis | cocoabean: i found a decent tutorial but i can't find the actual mt-daap ap. is it in the repos or do i have to install from source? | 22:25 |

| DanaG | Lovely, my gnome session is segfaulting. | 22:25 |

| RudyValencia | Also, I can't get open-vm-tools to compile because it says "uriparser library not found or is too old" | 22:28 |
| asdbo | how can I search for entries that contain both of two keywords? like "apt-cache search program AND dev" | 22:28 |
| themunkee | lordfdisk: that worked, what went wrong to begin with? | 22:28 |

| klocko | ? | 22:29 |
| Grobvok | RudyValencia: sudo apt-get install uriparser1 | 22:29 |
| LordFDisk | themunkee, not sure .... mines been doing it as well .... I think it might be a bug | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | asdbo, the apt-cache search tends to grab a lot of things... not always just matching a specific word | 22:29 |
| axsuul | what vnc client do you guys recommend for vnc (other than tightvnc) | 22:29 |
| Grobvok | RudyValencia: Not sure if it will work. | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | axsuul, i tend to use vnc4server and its client. | 22:29 |

| LordFDisk | glad it work ... anytime themunkee | 22:30 |
| asdbo | Dr_willis: So it is also searching for words that may come up in a description of a package? | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | asdbo, i think so. I always seem to use grep to trim down the hits | 22:31 |
| nDuff | carandraug, there's quite a bit to check. What are the firewall rules on the FORWARD table? | 22:32 |
| pioto | hi, is there a gnome-ish way to automatically mount a volume w/ hal? | 22:32 |
| pioto | like, i have my internal disk w/ my winxp partition... i can click it in the places menu to mount | 22:32 |
| nDuff | carandraug, do you have appropriate rules in the nat table? | 22:32 |
| pioto | but i'd like that done on boot | 22:32 |
| pioto | or login | 22:32 |
| pioto | and i'd like to do it the fancy gnome way, rather than just fstab it | 22:32 |
| pioto | (unless there is no fancy gnome way) | 22:32 |
| verve | infinitycircuit: any word on it? | 22:32 |
| carandraug | nDuff: I think so. I entered this command which has worked for me before "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE" | 22:32 |
| amenado | carandraug-> is your wlan0 the gateway interface towards the internet? | 22:33 |
| carandraug | nDuff: wlan0 is where I have internet connection | 22:33 |
| D0K30S | ¬¬ | 22:33 |
| infinitycircuit | verve, it is building in pbuilder right now | 22:33 |
| carandraug | nDuff: yes | 22:33 |
| verve | infinitycircuit: so what do i do? i've never used pbuilder before | 22:33 |
| nDuff | carandraug, that will help if there aren't any rules executed first which are blocking packets from reaching that one; it might help if you pastebin "iptables -L -v -t nat" and "iptables -L -v". | 22:34 |

| === izibi_ is now known as izibi | ||
| mut80r | it seems to be completely ignoring the --interface option | 22:41 |
| nDuff | carandraug, hmm -- you've added quite a few different versions of that rule; notably, only one of them is actually doing anything. That said, it *is* doing something, which is good. | 22:41 |
| BlackBsd | where are the downloaded files used to upgrade packages kept? | 22:41 |
| nDuff | carandraug, the major thing I notice is that the counter for the FORWARD rule is 0 | 22:42 |
| mut80r | http://pastebin.com/m33e24065 | 22:42 |
| nDuff | carandraug, if another system is using your host as gateway, that counter should be very nonzero. | 22:42 |

| johninlex | easy question RudyValencia might be the most simple question of the day | 22:45 |
| nDuff | carandraug, ...but that said, you really should tighten up your firewall rules a bit unless you have a router between you and the internet. | 22:45 |

| nDuff | carandraug, I'd appreciate it if you'd try the echo command I gave you anyhow; I don't trust anything named "default", as whether it takes effect (and what that effect impacts) depends on your boot order. | 22:47 |

| mut80r | gclark: make a drive image in future so you do not need to reinstall vista | 23:08 |
| infinitycircuit | hwilde, apt-file | 23:08 |
| mut80r | gclark: never had or heard of the error though | 23:08 |
| Flannel | hwilde: You can use apt-fil to find the packages that contain those, or the second set of search things on packages.ubuntu.com | 23:09 |

| gclark | I only have two partions | 23:09 |
| gclark | partitions | 23:09 |
| gclark | could that be the problem? | 23:09 |
| Flannel | gclark: You don't need three, no, / and swap (and even in some situations just / is enough) | 23:09 |
| mut80r | glarck: one for windows, one for linux, one for swap, additional for any other stuff you need like a shared documents etc | 23:09 |

| mut80r | gclark: / is for Linux. /home usually goes on the same partition unless you want it on another for redundancy should linux go down. swap doesn't have a mount point | 23:11 |
| gclark | When I google Err2Err3 | 23:11 |
| danand | gclark - most people go for / (root), /home, and swap - that way if you need to reinstall you can preserve your /home partition | 23:11 |

| mut80r | what he said | 23:12 |

| mut80r | was just a suggestion, I don't actually know but, for most system administration and whatnot you need root so it was an educated guess | 23:20 |

| spyrorocks | Hello guys. I need a bit of help installing VirtualBox. It says I need the VirtualBox kernel driver, so I went into the synaptic package manger and tried to download and install the "virtualbox-ose module for linux-image-2.6.24-20-virtual" package, but it gives me an error: "virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-20-virtual: Depends: linux-image-2.6.24-20-virtual but it is not installable". What am I doing wrong here? | 23:26 |
| gclark | Danand - Do you see any problems? Could it be because Suse was using a boot up menu? | 23:26 |
| zelrikriando | is it normal is sudo isnt asking for my password sometimes? | 23:26 |
| gclark | with GRUB | 23:26 |
| serkan`c | zelrikriando: yes | 23:26 |
| zelrikriando | why is that | 23:26 |
| mut80r | zelrikriando: yes. edit /etc/sudoers and use NOPASSWD if you don't want it to. | 23:26 |
| gclark | denand - eventhough I fdisked everything :p | 23:26 |
| zelrikriando | if I do sudo us I am not prompt to my password | 23:26 |
| zelrikriando | that doesnt seem safe | 23:27 |
| danand | gclark - perhaps.... did you install grub on the mbr of the first disk ie sda rather than sdb? | 23:27 |
| zelrikriando | su even | 23:27 |
| gclark | denand - even the MBR | 23:27 |
| hwilde | infinitycircuit, Flannel, Dr_willis, it says the lib is already downloaded, but it's not in /var/cache/apt anymore, how do I force it to redownload the .deb so I can copy to another machine without internet | 23:27 |
| serkan`c | zelrikriando: after you used them? | 23:27 |
| gclark | denand - no, it has always been my backup | 23:27 |
| unop | prince_jammys, there was something about deleting (backup up) the locale files somewhere under /var - can't remember the exact location .. other people have success running localepurge and then continuing on | 23:27 |
| burhan | !virtualbox | spyrorocks try this | 23:27 |

| * danand wonders if grub should be on the mbr of the first disk ?? | 23:28 | |
| zelrikriando | serkan`c, when using it several times in a row | 23:28 |
| burhan | danand: it should be on the mbr of your boot disk, whichever that is. | 23:28 |
| gclark | denand - try fidisking that MBR? | 23:28 |
| jo4 | if i'm running a ftp service (specificly vsftpd), how can i check which users are logged in except for log files. can i use a thirdparty program or something? | 23:28 |
| serkan`c | then it is normal zelrikriando | 23:28 |
| mut80r | zelrikriando: it remembers the password for a default of 10 minutes to avoid annoyances with re-entering it every time | 23:28 |
| unop | zelrikriando, sudo caches your password for sometime .. it's convenient if you don't want to be typing your password often in a small time period | 23:28 |
| zelrikriando | serkan`c, I dont feel it s safe | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | zelrikriando, then disable it. :) | 23:28 |
| prince_jammys | unop: thanks, I will look into that | 23:28 |
| zelrikriando | Dr_willis, how | 23:29 |
| danand | gclark - have you set the boot flag on sdb disk when formatting? | 23:29 |
| Dr_willis | zelrikriando, its in the sudo config file somewhere i recall. check the sudo man pages | 23:29 |
| Cocoabean | make sure you edit with visudo | 23:29 |
| danand | gclark - check with gparted ... | 23:29 |
| burhan | jo4: ccze and ftpmonitor should help | 23:29 |
| unop | prince_jammys, what you could also do purge remove the locales package .. then install it again when done upgrading .. though i am not sure if it's a safe thing to do | 23:29 |
| Firefishe | I want to use the mini.iso of ubuntu to run it and a lightweight window manager on a 512mb usb drive. Any suggestions? | 23:29 |
| jo4 | burhan: ok, thanks | 23:29 |
| Cocoabean | Firefishe | 23:30 |
| Cocoabean | have you tried enlightenment | 23:30 |
| Cocoabean | its a WM | 23:30 |
| Cocoabean | very lightweight, reminiscent of fluxbox | 23:30 |
| prince_jammys | unop: either way, I'm going to have to abort adept updater, right? | 23:30 |
| hwilde | infinitycircuit, Flannel, Dr_willis, it says the lib is already downloaded, but it's not in /var/cache/apt anymore, how do I force it to redownload the .deb so I can copy to another machine without internet | 23:30 |
| Breetai | Is there some way after installing Ubuntu to run the Migration Assistant to bring over additional windows users profiles? | 23:30 |
| gclark | Danand - run the command gparted? | 23:31 |
| unop | prince_jammys, yes unfortunately .. | 23:31 |
| danand | gclark - gparted is a GUI for partitioning disks ... do you have a desktop running or livecd? | 23:31 |
| burhan | hwilde: apt-get -d | 23:32 |
| gclark | Danand - Desktop | 23:32 |
| unop | prince_jammys, some hints here that might help. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 | 23:32 |
| Firefishe | Cocoabean: I've used both the older versions and I experimented with e17 a little while ago, from svn. What I have a need for is putting ubuntu on a 512mb usb drive with whatever wm I want to use. Can you assist? | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 249340 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef" [High,Confirmed] | 23:32 |
| mut80r | YES | 23:33 |
| mut80r | WOO | 23:33 |
| wildrussian | what file system does Ubuntu use | 23:33 |
| jbroome | ext3 | 23:33 |
| burhan | wildrussian: ext3 | 23:33 |
| Cocoabean | Firefishe: i have never done that, i was just suggesting a lightweight WM, sorry | 23:33 |
| wildrussian | thanks | 23:33 |
| hwilde | burhan, that did nothing for me | 23:33 |
| gclark | Denand - looking at gparted, the flags on the backup has boot in it... | 23:33 |
| mut80r | my xbox 360 connected to the ushare daemon. ^_^ streaming music from linux is working | 23:33 |
| burhan | hwilde: well of course, if you just type that, it won't do much :) | 23:33 |
| gclark | I disabled the boot flag | 23:34 |
| hwilde | burhan, apt-get install -d libart-2.0-2 it says it's already isntalled and it does not download anything | 23:34 |
| gclark | I gave the boot flag to Sdb1 | 23:34 |
| danand | gclark - check the disk you have ubuntu installed to ... is the boot flag enabled... PS Be warned ... check that won't kill your info on that disk... | 23:34 |
| gclark | Denand - It did not have the boot flag on it... sda did. I just changed it | 23:35 |
| gclark | Denand - I will reboot and brb. | 23:35 |
| burhan | hwilde: you could try the --reinstall flag, I think its from aptitude. | 23:35 |
| wildrussian | whats the difference between regular Hardy and server edition? | 23:35 |
| danand | gclark - ok then ... luck | 23:35 |
| hwilde | burhan, are you just guessing now | 23:35 |
| burhan | hwilde: no. | 23:36 |
| cheryle | hello, everytime i try to print it says it is in progress then finishes but nothing prints.. i have a lexmark p4350 series.. it is setup through the printing screen in the administration panel but still nothing.. what can i do to make it print? | 23:36 |
| qr_ | wildrussian: different default packages, different installer, different kernel, probably some more things I don't know about. | 23:36 |
| danand | hwilde - try apt-get --reinstall install pkgname... | 23:36 |
| wildrussian | qr_ thanks! | 23:36 |
| burhan | hwilde: if its already installed, you can't install it again. If you want the deb and its not in your cache, then you need to fetch it from the net. If you just want to download debs and not install them, then you need to use -d, if you want to reinstall something that's already installed, its --reinstall or similar -- either one will get you the deb file. | 23:37 |
| MermaidMan | will ubuntu run good on 512MB ram? | 23:37 |
| burhan | MermaidMan: for some definitions of 'good', yes. | 23:37 |
| infinitycircuit | MermaidMan, yes | 23:37 |
| unop | MermaidMan, good depends on what you will be doing .. so there is no set answer | 23:37 |
| MermaidMan | web browsing email some light games | 23:38 |
| unop | MermaidMan, should suffice well | 23:38 |
| burhan | MermaidMan: make sure you have some extra swap space, that should help with the overall experience. | 23:38 |
| eblume | Hi - I'm trying to set up a laptop with Ubuntu, but the wireless is not working. The wireless card is an Atheros AR5007 (AR524x) chipset. ath_pci and ath_hal are loading, but the device isn't showing up. | 23:38 |
| * burhan feels cramped with 4GB RAM | 23:38 | |
| MermaidMan | ok | 23:38 |
| eblume | I've googled around but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. | 23:38 |
| danand | MermaidMan - i have full desktop (fluxbox), loads of apps running - terminals galore, conky, firefox (loads of tabs) and consume a whopping 276Mb of ram :) | 23:39 |
| burhan | eblume: have you checked the LaptopTestingTeam pages to see if someone has already tried it out on your laptop? | 23:39 |
| burhan | eblume: or at least one with a similar chipset for the wifi. | 23:39 |
| eblume | I have not, where are those, burhan? | 23:39 |
| gclark | Danand - It didn't work. Still errored. | 23:39 |
| svar0g | hi all | 23:39 |
| gclark | Err2Err3 | 23:39 |
| burhan | eblume: I think http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam | 23:39 |
| MermaidMan | wow | 23:39 |
| === Bodsda|AFK is now known as Bodsda | ||
| danand | gclark - :( | 23:39 |
| eblume | Thanks much! | 23:39 |
| MermaidMan | vista just consumes 500MB at boot | 23:40 |
| * danand goes to google err2err3 ... | 23:40 | |

| meoblast001 | MermaidMan: omg that makes me sick | 23:40 |
| meoblast001 | lol | 23:40 |
| avuton | Can I use a vanilla kernel with ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| infinitycircuit | avuton, if you configure it correctly, yes | 23:40 |

| eblume | burhan, no laptops that where made before this chip came out (a few months ago) have been tested. | 23:41 |
| eblume | er, made after. | 23:42 |
| frozen_North | I would agree with infinitycircuit, if you could config it right? sure | 23:42 |
| hyphenex | G'Day. I'm trying to set up apt-get here at uni, but the only site we've got quota-free access to is http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au Is this a valid site I could use with apt-get? | 23:42 |
| burhan | eblume: what brand? | 23:42 |
| gclark | Danand - I am lost on this one. OpenSuSe works, WIndows vista works without error too. | 23:42 |
| sjoos | eblume: http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/ | 23:42 |

| eblume | burhan, it's an HP dv5-1004nr. | 23:42 |
| eblume | sjoos, I've read that, but I want to use madwifi, not ndiswrapper. | 23:42 |
| eblume | If at all possible. | 23:42 |
| danand | gclark - reading that ... I'm at a loss too :( | 23:43 |
| sjoos | eblume: that's about madwifi .... | 23:43 |
| eblume | sjoos, if you read it, for 64 bit users, it has you use ndiswrapper, and blacklists madwifi | 23:43 |
| Kattman | Can this driver http://www.pastebin.ca/1157913 be made to work with Harty ? | 23:44 |
| wildrussian | Is it hard to convert to LVM from already existing file system? | 23:44 |
| ekim|lenvo | hi | 23:44 |
| burhan | hyphenex: no, as I don't believe its an apt mirror (its not the same machine as au.archive.ubuntu.com | 23:44 |
| ekim|lenvo | is there any way to make the ideapad buttons work in linux ? | 23:44 |
| ekim|lenvo | the touch sensitive ones | 23:44 |
| hyphenex | burhan: Ahhk, no apt for hyphenex then :(. Thanks | 23:45 |
| avuton | wildrussian: the existing filesystem goes on top of the lvm, lvm is a alternative to hard drive partitioning | 23:45 |
| burhan | ekim|lenvo: if you can find the keycode, then yes. | 23:45 |
| frozen_North | ekim|lenovo, if you are using Hardy they should work with install. Working great here on my ideapad and all other thinkpads | 23:45 |
| ekim|lenvo | burhan, they don't show up in xev | 23:45 |
| ekim|lenvo | what can they be mapped as ? | 23:45 |
| eblume | Perhaps if someone could tell me why, in a default and brand new install of ubuntu, I can't succeed in running "make" on the madwifi source code? | 23:45 |
| danand | gclark - did your install complete without error? | 23:45 |
| Dazed | With the "3d windows" setting in compiz, that makes the windows pop out of the cube when you rotate.... they don't go 3d when you only have 2 workspaces for some reason, can that be changed? | 23:45 |
| christaker | Vote for the best Operating System | 23:45 |
| christaker | http://into-comparisons.blogspot.com/ | 23:45 |
| ekim|lenvo | I'm really loving this ideapd | 23:45 |
| infinitycircuit | eblume, because you didn't have make installed? | 23:45 |
| burhan | ekim|lenvo: I don't have an ideapad ... but thinkwiki.org is a great place to search for that stuff. | 23:45 |
| ekim|lenvo | I just got it hours ago | 23:45 |
| infinitycircuit | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 23:46 |
| wildrussian | avuton: Thanks! | 23:46 |
| ekim|lenvo | burhan, I thought so to ... but thinkwiki doesn't even mention ideapads | 23:46 |
| eblume | infinitycircuit, ... ubuntu doesn't come with make by default? Ok, thanks! | 23:46 |
| BrendanWelsh | Can somebody help me with this "VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.." | 23:46 |
| TechPepsi | what is the upgrade command in the terminal? | 23:46 |
| infinitycircuit | eblume, it includes 0 dev tools basically in the default desktop install | 23:46 |
| frozen_North | thinkwiki wound ekim. It does not cover anything from lenovo and probably won't | 23:46 |
| Dazed | does vmware work on linux? | 23:46 |
| infinitycircuit | i always start a new install with sudo apt-get install fakeroot vim build-essential devscripts, etc. | 23:46 |
| frozen_North | ekim did you install hardy? | 23:46 |
| Dazed | and is it better than virtual box | 23:46 |
| unop | TechPepsi, sudo apt-get upgrade # or sudo aptitude upgrade | 23:46 |
| eblume | infinitycircuit, gotcha. I like to compile my own kernel as well, is there another package I should get? | 23:47 |
| ekim|lenvo | frozen_North, yeah ... I didn't even boot vista :) | 23:47 |
| Bodsda | TechPepsi, sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:47 |
| infinitycircuit | Dazed, i prefer virtualbox for its seamless mode | 23:47 |
| eblume | Ah, thanks! | 23:47 |
| deepVeinInsomnia | yes vmware has linux distribution | 23:47 |
| infinitycircuit | eblume, sudo apt-get install kernel-package | 23:47 |
| Dazed | i just stumbled on an article about the seemless mode | 23:47 |
| frozen_North | ekim, like I said, using my idea pad here and everything worked great after the first update | 23:47 |
| Dazed | id really like to try that | 23:47 |
| Dazed | have windows on one workspace and ubuntu in the other | 23:47 |
| ekim|lenvo | frozen_North, define "working great" | 23:47 |

| danand | BrendanWelsh - are you on 7.04 ... | 23:47 |
| ekim|lenvo | you know the little pause play stop forward and back buttons at the top of the keyboard | 23:47 |
| ekim|lenvo | do those work ? | 23:47 |
| unop | christaker, no polls in here please | 23:48 |
| LimCore | how to get source for "p7zip-full" ? apt-get source "p7zip-full" -> E: Unable to find a source package for p7zip (I want to edit it's documentation) | 23:48 |
| burhan | BrendanWelsh: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r` | 23:48 |
| ekim|lenvo | because I installed all of the updates first thing | 23:48 |
| Dazed | infinitycircuit: I did the ubuntu "in windows" install.. can I load that in ubuntu with virtual box or does it require a new virtual install? | 23:48 |
| infinitycircuit | Dazed, no idea | 23:48 |
| danand | BrendanWelsh - check the version of the kernel you are using as compared to the virtual box module version... | 23:48 |
| Dazed | my existing windows install is all still there in the "host" folder | 23:49 |
| Dazed | seems to easy that I could just boot that tho | 23:49 |
| mut80r | dazed: you probably wont be able to, as the wubi install has hardware configuration for your pc, whereas a virtual pc has "virtual" hardware | 23:49 |
| Dazed | ah, yeah | 23:49 |
| Dazed | i have a vmware linux on my xp, it might cause a singularity if i put a virtual xp inside of that :\ | 23:49 |
| mut80r | haha | 23:50 |
| unop | LimCore, do you have the deb-src repos enabled .. especially universe | 23:50 |
| TechPepsi | what is the terminal command to create another admin user? | 23:50 |
| mut80r | VM's can be nested without limitation. it just depends on how many resources you have | 23:50 |
| gclark | Danand - Yes, no errors. | 23:50 |
| Dazed | Limited :D | 23:50 |
| unop | TechPepsi, adduser | 23:50 |
| danand | BrendanWelsh - i have found that i am running kernel 2.6.22-15-generic, and the most up to date module available is virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic | 23:50 |
| danand | gclark - you sorted it?? | 23:50 |
| mut80r | well, meh | 23:51 |
| Dazed | I dont think anyone saw my first Q so ill repeat | 23:51 |
| infinitycircuit | danand, sudo apt-get install module-assistant && sudo m-a a-i virtualbox-ose-modules | 23:51 |
| Dazed | With the "3d windows" setting in compiz, that makes the windows pop out of the cube when you rotate.... they don't go 3d when you only have 2 workspaces for some reason, can that be changed? | 23:51 |
| TechPepsi | so "adduser *name* *pass*"? | 23:51 |
| danand | infinitycircuit - thanks :) | 23:51 |
| gclark | danand - not yet, I am going to open my case and make sure the jumper in on slave. Brb | 23:51 |
| burhan | Dazed: you need four faces for it to work, iirc. | 23:51 |
| unop | TechPepsi, no -- refer to the adduser manpage | 23:51 |
| danand | gclark - k | 23:51 |
| mut80r | because it (the cube) code was designed for 4 workspaces | 23:51 |
| Dazed | having 4 workspaces makes the cube laggier. :( | 23:51 |
| burhan | TechPepsi: man adduser | 23:51 |
| taladon | hi all. i'm having trouble setting up cvs server on ubuntu 8.04 | 23:51 |
| Dazed | i actually really like the "Flat" cube of 2 workspaces | 23:52 |
| burhan | Dazed: probably a clue that you shouldn't be using 3d windows. | 23:52 |
| taladon | i followed the instructions @ https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/cvs-server.html but it won't accept my user and pass | 23:52 |
| mut80r | you can't have 3d windows without a 3d environment dazed, such as 4 workspaces | 23:52 |
| Dazed | Makes sense | 23:52 |
| TechPepsi | man adduser (name) (pass)? | 23:52 |
| TechPepsi | like that | 23:53 |
| mut80r | techpepsi: man adduser displays the man(ual) page f or it | 23:53 |
| unop | TechPepsi, please read the adduser documentation | 23:53 |
| burhan | TechPepsi: no. | 23:53 |
| Dazed | it does work with only 3 surfaces too btw | 23:53 |
| mut80r | because that's 3d :) | 23:53 |
| Dazed | so thats a good compromise | 23:53 |
| TechPepsi | unop, ? | 23:54 |
| unop | TechPepsi, man adduser | 23:54 |
| burhan | TechPepsi: type 'man adduser' without the quotes in your terminal and hit enter. | 23:54 |
| mut80r | techpepsi: I'm not aware there is an "admin" user type. add them with useradd and add them to the relevant groups and /etc/sudoers for an admin-type effect | 23:54 |
| LimCore | unop: I do: deb-src http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy restricted main multiverse | 23:54 |
| burhan | mut80r: probably he wants the wheel group | 23:55 |
| LimCore | unop: I wonder is it the - in name which confuses it | 23:55 |
| unop | mut80r, adding the user to the admin group is sufficient | 23:55 |
| unop | burhan, ubuntu has no wheel group | 23:55 |
| mut80r | unop: there's an admin group ? news to me. *Adds myself to it | 23:55 |
| burhan | unop: it doesn't? | 23:55 |
| Dazed | Since I did this "in windows" install, linux only owns an 8 gig chunk of my HD.. If I wanted to give it free reign of my system drive, and get rid of XP, would there be some shortcut to doing that besides another full install with a drive format? | 23:55 |
| unop | burhan, well it does, it's called admin tho | 23:56 |

| unop | LimCore, that seems fine | 23:56 |
| mut80r | dazed: you could.. err.. try an image of your wubi install, and then image it back to your reformatted drive and extend the filesystem. but it probably wont work | 23:56 |
| unop | LimCore, can you get the source for p7zip ? | 23:56 |
| Flannel | Dazed: Use a liveCD to delete your windows partitions and expand your linux partition. | 23:56 |

| burhan | unop: hrmm, I'm the only member of the admin group, how lonely is that. | 23:56 |
| Flannel | Dazed: oh, you're talking about wubi? | 23:56 |
| Dazed | ya | 23:56 |
| mut80r | flannel: he's using a wubi install. his install is in a folder on his windows partition | 23:56 |
| Dazed | its not actually a partition | 23:56 |
| LimCore | unop: there is no such package | 23:56 |
| LimCore | unop: p7zip-full exists | 23:57 |
| Dazed | its like a chunk of freespace on my ntfs drive | 23:57 |
| unop | burhan, yes by default, only the first user is a member of the admin group | 23:57 |
| Dazed | that has been formatted etx3 or something | 23:57 |
| burhan | unop: then what is 'adm' group? | 23:57 |
| Dazed | Im guessing I can't just delete the host fodler lol | 23:57 |
| mut80r | dazed: try making an image within wubi, of your linux "partition", and image it back after you clear the drive is the only thing I can suggest | 23:57 |

| Dazed | this link is exactly what i wanted thanks :D | 23:58 |
| Dazed | I'm not gonna do it yet but wanted to know if you could | 23:59 |
| comphappy | burhan:does not seem to have worked | 23:59 |
| mut80r | Flannel: nice job | 23:59 |
| unop | LimCore, are you sure you got universe selected ? i can't see it on that line there | 23:59 |
| comphappy | how would i reinitialize it? | 23:59 |
| unop | burhan, not sure what the adm group is | 23:59 |
| comphappy | I am logged in over ssh | 23:59 |
