| Cutter | Windows 32 bit supports about 3Gb I think | 00:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | i think 64bit, supports like 128gigs or something | 00:44 |
| droopsta915 | works fine for me | 00:44 |
| pajamian | the 32 bit server kernel will support more than 3.5 gigs, I believe. | 00:45 |
| Meesis_Meeso | heh my processor is ... 2.2GHZ | 00:45 |
| debCarlos | My old machine had only 512MB ram and 1ghz and it was... perfect lol | 00:45 |
| pajamian | and, of course, 64 bit will support loads more. | 00:45 |

| crdlb | Cutter: optimized for throughput instead of latency, etc | 00:47 |
| Meesis_Meeso | oh... | 00:47 |
| pajamian | Cutter: it's the same kernel, but it's been compiled with different internal settings that make one more suitable for server use and one more suitable for desktop use. | 00:47 |

| Gnea | yes. | 01:39 |
| scabflakes | ok | 01:39 |
| xzcvczx | scabflakes: linux is case sensitive and you need a space between df and -Th df being the command -Th being the arg | 01:39 |

| BlueLaguna | Xubuntu should use Pulse sound server by default, right? | 02:04 |
| commie_cary | I need help | 02:04 |
| simplechat | Zeroyez, tor | 02:05 |
| zombieball | !tor | Zeroyez | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Zeroyez: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 02:05 |
| xzcvczx | !ask | commie_cary | 02:05 |
| ubottu | commie_cary: 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. :-) | 02:05 |
| commie_cary | I need to copy and paste mty filesstem into another partition | 02:05 |
| Zeroyez | so I can just install tor and then connect to that server by typing in it's IP in firefox? | 02:05 |
| commie_cary | however | 02:05 |
| commie_cary | it wont let me | 02:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | Zeroyez: There are probably 20+ http proxies available in the Ubuntu repositories | 02:05 |
| xzcvczx | commie_cary: you must do it from terminal as root | 02:05 |

| pajamian | freeksh0w86: there are people that are good at that and they have helped to create many of the drivers that Linux uses today (broadcomm drivers come to mind). But that said, you may be stuck with using ndiswrapper for a while longer. | 02:19 |

| nickrud | Tom_nuggin yep, lost a bunch of groups. boot into recovery mode, go to the command line, and run adduser timmy admin | 02:30 |
| pajamian | Tom_nuggin: you need to boot to a live CD, mount your hdd partition and modify the /etc/group file to add yourself back to the admin group | 02:30 |

| Tom_nuggin | nickrud where? | 02:32 |
| pajamian | amenado: hehehe, I use wheel on the centos boxes I admin for root sudo. I never actually checked what it was in ubuntu because I never had to mess with it. | 02:32 |
| amenado | nickrud i believed it is | 02:32 |
| nickrud | Tom_nuggin the easiest way is to use groupadd, but I suggest just adduser timmy <group> , repeat until done. Prevents the error | 02:32 |
| pajamian | nickrud: yeah, I don't know for debian-based, I use wheel in centos which is RH based. | 02:33 |

| Wh00mp | i am trying to make a headless ubuntu server out of by laptop which lcd broke, i have everything working i think but there are two wires still sticking out of my laptop a grey and black wire, can i cut those? what will happen , what are they for? thanks in advance | 02:39 |

| vilhelm | Hello ! I have a problem when i log out the screen where i should enter my user name and password is 2 much to the right so i cant see what i'm typing | 02:39 |
| gisli | do enion know where i find an patch for ubuntu 8.04 to get ab 8.10 | 02:39 |
| Wh00mp | the wires have to do with the lcd | 02:39 |
| nbcthreat | What's likely going on is that the mini-pci cards depend on an antenna built in to the laptop by the manufacturer. There's likely no antenna on the laptop you move it to. | 02:40 |

| axisys | nbcthreat: http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/linux/ it only talks about dapper | 02:50 |
| pajamian | vilhelm: but you should be able to change the video mode to one that actually works with your monitor. | 02:50 |
| nickrud | Flacker if the module got inserted into the kernel properly, you'll see no output | 02:50 |

| Gnea | Dice|Desktop: boot it. go to recovery console. login. use the fixmbr command. reboot. fix. | 04:25 |
| dennister | Gnea: that would be fine, running terminal in full-screen, but orca and other gui-based screen readers and such don't work with the terminal, either...only a very limited number of apps are read by those gui-based ones | 04:25 |

| Dice|Desktop | Let me explain my setup: I had a dual boot system with ubuntu on partition 1, a swap on partition 2, and windows xp on partition 3. I deleted those first two, my first mistake but dont we all sometimes, but expanded the third to the left, letting it take up the entirety of my hdd. On reboot i get the error of not being able to start because of a hard disk configuration problem. Attempted fixmbr, says it worked. Attempted | 04:27 |

| RoshanK | is there an easy shortcut key to open up terminal | 04:27 |
| dennister | besides, this blind user is used to lynx and text-based apps...and he'd like to be fully independent from sighted help...since so much assistance is given using cli commands, it's crucial that something work automatically with text | 04:27 |
| tritium | monstrMobile: please don't repeat so often | 04:27 |
| monstrMobile | sorry... | 04:27 |
| dennister | Gnea: ergo, he needs to be able to monitor bootup and shutdown processes | 04:27 |

| RoshanK | goanookie i tried that but it brings up the deskbar applet | 04:28 |
| goanookie | RoshanK, and f2 ? | 04:28 |
| dennister | the fact that speakup support has been dropped from the repositories for hardy is a real problem | 04:29 |
| monstrMobile | mlxed - you talking about virtualization? | 04:29 |
| windowsxp | how can i change the main menu icon? | 04:29 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | monstrMobile, force to load on boot by putting the module in /etc/modules? | 04:29 |
| m1xed | Dice|Desktop, you might be able to configure GRUB to boot windows though | 04:29 |
| monstrMobile | CutMeOwnThroat - I did that...problem is usbcore loads before the webcam driver | 04:29 |
| RoshanK | goanookie, alt f2 opens up the run application box. there is a run in terminal option, but i was wonfering there was some way to bring up terminal itself with a shortcut | 04:30 |
| Dice|Desktop | Oh really? | 04:30 |
| rafaelscj | .3gp files don't output sond... Any idea how to solve it? | 04:30 |

| m1xed | siefny, what's wrong with the PC? you might want to try fixmbr | 04:32 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | monstrMobile, don't think so - but shouldn't be necessary either. udev should load the module when it's needed... | 04:33 |
| xxploit | any1 know of any good gnutella clients(nothing qt based). Ive been using Frostwire but was wondering if any1else can recommend something faster(as in loading). | 04:33 |

| Zaq_unkwn | Gnea: yes thats the one | 04:49 |
| fallore | qr: it's not graphical to my knowledge, and i only know the terminal command to open it graphically. | 04:49 |
| powergoal2 | fallore: vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:49 |
| qr | fallore: ahh, use nano or pico or vim or emacs to edit it in a terminal | 04:49 |
| powergoal2 | fallore: will open it in a terminal editor | 04:49 |
| powergoal2 | fallore: I think thats the right location for xorg.conf in ubuntu... | 04:50 |
| fallore | i got a terminal open by hitting alt + f1 and navigating through the menu. now i just need to figure out what to change in my xorg.conf seeing as i accidentally pasted over the default mouse section | 04:50 |
| tritium | powergoal2: it is | 04:50 |

| tritium | fallore: not in hard | 04:51 |

| Gnea | fallore: no, it just means X won't start next time | 04:51 |

| DozedOnLinux | Stargazer: use VLC , has screen cap right in it | 04:53 |
| qr | Stargazer: you need to use a video player that can snapshot a movie to take a capture of it. VLC can do this. | 04:53 |
| tritium | powergoal2: you can still customize it | 04:53 |
| Stargazer | I never knew of that feature | 04:53 |
| qr | Stargazer: by that I mean you need to use the built in snapshot feature, not that using vlc will let you screenshot it. | 04:53 |

| powergoal2 | fallore_: you're welcome, good luck :) | 05:17 |
| papp7337 | so i just uninstall the nvidia driver? | 05:17 |
| crdlb | papp7337: yes, you should, but I don't think it would help for modesetting | 05:18 |
| tritium | arcos: not sure, as I've never done it | 05:18 |
| keev | droopsta915, but i dont think i can chmod a-rwx / | 05:18 |
| keev | lol | 05:18 |
| powergoal2 | papp7337: line 838 shows that there is a modeline for the resolution. in your xorg.conf file are there lines that determine resolution? | 05:18 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | keev, only once... only once | 05:18 |
| arcos | Tritium: well no problem, emerald looks cool, thanks for the help | 05:18 |
| powergoal2 | papp7337: or are you running a version of ubuntu that doesn't use that xorg.conf file to that extent? | 05:18 |
| unavailable | arcos if you have emerald installed, go to system > accessories and click "emerald" | 05:18 |
| fallore_ | powergoal2: i used to have the nvidia restricted drivers, i'm not sure if i still do but iirc that was how i got my resolution the way i wanted it. is there a way i can check if i have them, and if i do, how do i configure them? | 05:18 |
| papp7337 | im new to ubuntu (obviously) im using 8.04.1 | 05:18 |
| unavailable | arcos then you can load your downloaded themes from there | 05:18 |
| papp7337 | i dont know where xorg.conf is | 05:19 |
| ubun2Junky | powergoal2: figured it out.... the uuid wasn't matching... why would the uuid change? | 05:19 |
| dabbu | i am not able to change my fonts size earlier it was easy but now i am not able | 05:19 |
| powergoal2 | fallore_: yeah, it has you using the framebuffer, and no video driver in the xorg file. | 05:19 |
| arcos | unavaliable: oh okay, so I just save them to the desktop and then load them from emerald? | 05:19 |

| tritium | OzFalcon: there are other forms of communication besides websites. See my question above. | 05:39 |
| bobertdos | dabbu: Then perhaps you should try letting Ubuntu reload one of its default themes and see if that helps. | 05:39 |
| OzFalcon | tritium, Yeah. I only found about about it after some people posted blogs on the Planet Ubuntu. | 05:40 |
| fallore | powergoal2: thanks | 05:40 |

| holycow | they dissapear because ntfs is left in an uncleen state when you shut down | 05:51 |

| holycow | you can override this behaviour at risk of data loss on ntfs partitions | 05:51 |
| holycow | or | 05:52 |
| holycow | just make sure to shut downxp properly | 05:52 |

| unavailable | powergoal2: windows update? | 05:55 |
| fallore | powergoal2: i think the problem is that my nvidia drivers somehow became undone. do you know of a way to check if they're still installed/reinstall them? | 05:55 |
| keev | aaronwi, must be nice bro :) | 05:55 |
| bobertdos | Offline: Yes, it was because of the power loss. When a Windows partition does not unmount properly (or in other words, when Windows crashes), Ubuntu will not mount it because the flag still indicates that the partition is busy. | 05:55 |
| unavailable | aaronwi: you have compiz installed? | 05:55 |
| aaronwi | no | 05:55 |
| powergoal2 | fallore: i dont, sorry | 05:55 |
| aaronwi | keev, would be nice if it would work | 05:55 |

| doug435 | ok i am trying to run the live cd on my toshiba A215 and it wont load becasue it cant decetcd a monitor and i am usin a ATI 94c9 chip and it will not start anyone help me out ? | 05:56 |
| hypa7ia | hey folks! which ubuntu installer cd should i use to do an encrypted server install, or alternately to do an encrypted netbook remix install? | 05:56 |
| aaronwi | unavailable, no compiz...brand new kubuntu install, and no one is alive in the kubuntu channel | 05:56 |
| Offline | bobertdos: thanks for your info because i was wondering why. i will reboot now and try to fix it. | 05:56 |
| hypa7ia | and also, is there a netbook remix irc channel anywhere? | 05:56 |
| bobertdos | Offline: You can work around it sometimes by using the terminal to mount it forcefully. | 05:57 |
| unavailable | aaronwi try holding random buttons and scrolling in or out | 05:57 |

| aaronwi | thanks powergoal2, but first i need to fix this 'zoomed' in screen | 05:59 |
| aaronwi | i tried the random buttons and scrolling, no luck | 05:59 |

| aaronwi | i dont know whats wrong | 05:59 |
| hypa7ia | doug435: have you googled that video card + boot options | 06:00 |
| hypa7ia | that's what i'd suggest | 06:00 |
| hypa7ia | :) | 06:00 |
| aaronwi | i saw this hardware icon that let me install 3d nvidia drivers, which i did, and then i tried adjusting the options for the screen, finding a more exact card match etc...and since the reboot it is like zoomed in | 06:00 |
| hypa7ia | aaronwi: i've seen that, it's that you hit a key combination in compiz... let me find it. it took me ages to figure out :) | 06:00 |

| powergoal2 | lonejack: see what you get in there. and /var/log/messages will work if you have a syslog installed and running before the error comes up | 06:16 |
| pajamian | AlmightyCthulhu: that had to be some feat on ubuntu | 06:16 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | nobody likes a smartass | 06:17 |
| pajamian | AlmightyCthulhu: ;-) | 06:17 |
| moshe | thx,powergoal,you beat me to that one | 06:17 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | as far as that goes however, you can install RPM on Ubuntu | 06:17 |
| Madpilot | AlmightyCthulhu, you haven't seen someone here ranting about not being allowed to muck around in /, have you? *nix protects itself fairly well... | 06:17 |
| hypa7ia | so, no-one knows about a netbook remix irc channel? | 06:17 |

| AlmightyCthulhu | I was about to answer Madpilot with the command that removes all files and directories recursively without asking | 06:19 |
| lat | There are 4 sata harddrives on my computer. Three of them usually show up in the /media folder as /media/disk-1 (2 or 3). But if a USB drive is inserted, their disk number may change. This confuses my backup script. Is there a better way to reference these drives? | 06:19 |
| Flannel | AlmightyCthulhu: You'd be promptly removed | 06:19 |
| benzss | suppose i want to convert a .mp4 movie to .avi... how would i go about doing this? | 06:19 |
| aaronwi | yes...but seeing others problems still doesnt help me in the basic install of the cards drivers or getting 3d working | 06:19 |
| Madpilot | AlmightyCthulhu, writing "that command" in this channel *will* get you booted, just FYI | 06:19 |
| shahalam | i have a small problem | 06:20 |
| moshe | lat, to my knowledge the disk renumbering cannot be worked around thru a script | 06:20 |

| shahalam | oh ok | 06:24 |
| scorch__ | be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia | 06:25 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | Nvidia has to keep Geforce 6 in it's normal driver pack, because all their integrated stuff is Geforce 6 based | 06:25 |
| lat | powergoals, ok. Many thanks! | 06:25 |
| shahalam | its a nvidia 6150 on a gigabyte motherboard with 128 mb memory | 06:25 |

| shahalam | but iw works fine on suse 11 | 06:25 |
| powergoal2 | lat: you're welcome. also lookup fstab if you need more info | 06:25 |

| AlmightyCthulhu | you're always better off with a dedicated card, even if it's a cheapie 7300LE or something | 06:26 |
| shahalam | ok | 06:26 |

| vipaca | I have the problem that when I setup http_proxy | 06:32 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | it massively kills your framerate | 06:32 |
| vipaca | it will work for wget but not for apt-get | 06:32 |
| pallu | i just want to try it | 06:32 |
| bazhang | pallu, that will be able to do compiz, though not all the fancy effects such as fire without difficulty | 06:32 |
| Overand | I need to do some regex/sed/tr-fu | 06:33 |
| regeya | aye, but you can disable the compositor | 06:33 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | OpenSolaris has the best default Compiz settings I've ever seen | 06:33 |
| Overand | I have a bnch of lines ending with "each:" and a newline, and a bunch of lines ending with a newline after a filename | 06:33 |
| regeya | you can have your cake, and eat it too...just remember to disable compositing before firing up a game | 06:33 |
| Overand | I need to yank the newlines after the "each:" but not the other ones | 06:33 |
| regeya | my own experience is that I certainly don't notice a drop...on this machine. :-> my old machine, though, was horrible. | 06:33 |
| debCarlo1 | What's yank ? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | delete | 06:34 |
| debCarlo1 | ok | 06:35 |
| Overand | debCarlo1: as in sed "s/each:\n/each: /" | 06:35 |
| Overand | except sed won't do that, becase it's "line-based" | 06:35 |
| debCarlo1 | Yeah, i thinked about sed too | 06:35 |
| powergoal2 | Overand: sed -e '/each:$/N;s/\n *//' | 06:35 |

| bullgard4 | What is the function of the directory /usr/share/hotkey-setup? What programs do use it? | 06:37 |
| powergoal2 | bullgard4: there is likely a program called hotkey-setup | 06:37 |
| ari_stress | !dash | 06:37 |
| ubot3 | /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 06:37 |

| sexcopter | hi, quick silly question: what is meant by 8.04.01, i.e., what does the .01 (or +1) signify? | 06:40 |
| debCarlo1 | yeah | 06:40 |
| debCarlo1 | Good question | 06:40 |
| wbmj | sexcopter: security updates | 06:40 |
| Flannel | sexcopter: 8.04.1 is the first point release, it has updated packages and updated installer | 06:40 |
| crdlb | sexcopter: it's 8.04.1, but it's just a new image made about a month after release | 06:40 |
| j-UBNET | hey guys, sorta new on here.. who knows how to get onto the azureus server? | 06:41 |
| bullgard4 | powergoal2: Yes, there is. -- Thank you very much for your help. | 06:41 |
| crdlb | so that you can avoid some of the updates when doing installs from the CD | 06:41 |
| Flannel | sexcopter: If you install 8.04 and then update from the repos, you'll get to 8.04.1 (and in a few months, 8.04.2) | 06:41 |

| dextone | wtf... allnet... sorry guyz... | 06:42 |
| Martyn | What is the Ubuntu command-line utility to download security updates? | 06:42 |
| dzhkh | i have read motu but still cannot find the commands used to create particular packages | 06:42 |
| Martyn | (I'm running ubuntu server, so can't run synaptic) | 06:42 |
| debCarlo1 | powergoal2: No, yesterday i was helping someone and for some reason i was going to erase files on my pendrive and did a mistake... executing rm -rf * in my ~/ | 06:42 |
| Flannel | Martyn: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:42 |
| powergoal2 | debCarlo1: yeah, that sucks. | 06:43 |
| Flannel | debCarlo1: please don't say anything that resembles that command here. | 06:43 |
| debCarlo1 | powergoal2: lol, but i think you can recover a partition right ? | 06:43 |
| ari_stress | debCarlo1: i have another link that is very good: http://www.osnews.com/story/20061/Recover_Deleted_Files_in_EXT3_ext3undel | 06:43 |
| Martyn | ahhh .. dist-upgrade is used for security updates as -well- as general package updates | 06:43 |
| sexcopter | to Flannel and crdlb, thanks for the answer. so is there a schedule/rhythm to these point releases? or just when it seems appropriate? | 06:43 |
| powergoal2 | debCarlo1: well, you usually can, but the way that i had done it, i changed the partition type from ext3 to reiserfs, and i couldn't find anything about recovering that | 06:43 |
| debCarlo1 | Flannel: Ok | 06:43 |
| Flannel | Martyn: Yeah, they all come through the repos | 06:43 |
| Martyn | Is there a way to /only/ get the security updates? | 06:43 |
| Flannel | sexcopter: They occur on LTSs, every six months, with an offset of three months from the initial release. | 06:44 |
| debCarlo1 | powergoal2: Yeah.... and you know the worst, my backup was in the usb drive i formatted just a minutes before deleting home | 06:44 |
| vipaca | http://pastie.org/252061 | 06:44 |
| Madpilot | sexcopter, security updates are released as security issues are found | 06:44 |
| vipaca | just doesn't make sense to me | 06:44 |
| vipaca | I guess Ill be installing everything from source? | 06:45 |
| powergoal2 | debCarlo1: ouch... | 06:45 |

| debCarlo1 | Now i formatted my usb drive and write a script to make a backup every day lol | 06:48 |
| Flannel | vipaca: then you're having connection issues | 06:48 |
| vipaca | Im using http_proxy | 06:48 |
| Flannel | vipaca: either on your end, or the mirror's | 06:48 |
| vipaca | which works for wget | 06:48 |
| vipaca | but its seems to not work so well with apt-get or aptitude | 06:49 |
| powergoal2 | yadame: you might try editing your ~/.mplayer/config file and putting in a line that says vo=gl2 | 06:49 |
| powergoal2 | yadame: see if it improves your output | 06:49 |
| balgarath | any applications out there you can use to generate a mySQL schema diagram from an existing db? | 06:49 |
| yadame | powergoal2: Already tried gl2, too and the performance is even worser. But thanks for the tip! | 06:49 |
| powergoal2 | yadame: and you cant get xv to work? | 06:50 |
| yadame | powergoal2: Yep, mplayer complains about the missing video output. the xv-extension is loaded during the xorg-startup but xvinfo is telling me "no adaptors present". | 06:50 |
| powergoal2 | yadame: hahaha i tried to pass vo xv to my mplayer and it crashed my xserver | 06:51 |
| yadame | powergoal2: uh :( | 06:51 |

| fallore | or click + ctrl a, or double click, etc | 07:04 |
| fallore | i know there are other ways to do it :P | 07:04 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | mrtubby, oh, you want someone to call it and it runs as root? just set the suid-bit - but take care, it can easily be a barn-door with a sign "hackers enter here" | 07:04 |
| dfgas | anyone run a q6600 | 07:04 |
| unop | CutMeOwnThroat, the setuid bit has no effect on scripts | 07:04 |

| bader_ | i mean it really suck that i cant read arabic | 07:06 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | unop, wrong suidperl takes care of it if the bit itself doesnt have an effect | 07:06 |

| unop | CutMeOwnThroat, well, if the perl 'executable' (note, i don't say script) - uses a setreuid call, then the setuid bit has effect .. but perl cheats then .. it's making a system call which is not the norm for scripts | 07:13 |

| unop | tomoyuki28jp, it might not be set .. what makes you think it is? | 07:36 |

| unop | tomoyuki28jp, the list interpreter might set this var on invocation .. the env.var might not necessarily be set in some config file .. usually env.vars are set in one of these files .. /etc/profile, /etc/bash*, ~/.bash*, ~/.profile .. so you could grep these files | 07:40 |

| QAH | I have windows as my main os, and I have ubuntu as a multiboot option. Everytime I start up in ubuntu and come back to windows, my windows time is messed up. I had looked it up and they said that you have to configure ubuntu to work with the time format that windows supports. How to I do this? | 08:09 |
| bazhang | :) | 08:09 |
| ozzie212 | I don't understand using old files error. I'm using an official Ubuntu cd that came from the Netherlands | 08:09 |
| ross | bazhang: i just googled for it and i found that most people set up triple boot on macbook pros and not the regular ones | 08:09 |
| sexcopter | i've had trouble now in 2 out of 2 cases of trying to install 3rd party software by adding repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Any idea what i might have missed? what can I do to diagnose the problem? | 08:09 |
| Slart | QAH: windows and linux uses the internal clock differently | 08:09 |
| ross | bazhang: that's why i wanted to know if triple boot is something that will be workable under the regular macbooks | 08:09 |
| bazhang | ross people do both | 08:09 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: are you currently logged in to a ubuntu console session? | 08:10 |
| QAH | Slart: You are right because ubuntu changes my system time. How can I stop this if I can. | 08:10 |
| Slart | QAH: I think linux keeps the clock at greenwich time and calculates local time when it needs it.. windows sets the internal clock to local time directly | 08:10 |
| ross | bazhang: ok thanks | 08:10 |
| ozzie212 | no xp using icechat | 08:10 |
| bazhang | np | 08:10 |
| ozzie212 | can I login to ubuntu using failsafe and still use irc | 08:10 |
| Slart | QAH: I don't really know if there is a switch somewhere.. you could just set both operating systems to update the clock using ntp.. that way it will fix itself shortly after booting | 08:10 |
| QAH | oh okay | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: you can, but it may be a pain if you're not familiar with irc on the console. | 08:11 |
| Nemoder | Is there a standard way to see what configure options a package maintainer uses for a given source package? | 08:11 |

| MaahesAFK | yes | 08:36 |
| MaahesAFK | it came with vista :S | 08:36 |
| MaahesAFK | i dun liek it | 08:36 |
| bazhang | MaahesAFK, dl the live cd and troubleshoot from there, preferably with ethernet connection so you can get here | 08:37 |
| MaahesAFK | they dont give you a vista cd so if i put linux... i wont be able to go back too easily | 08:37 |
| bazhang | MaahesAFK, thus the reason to run from livecd | 08:37 |
| MaahesAFK | ahh i see :) | 08:37 |
| bazhang | :) | 08:37 |
| MaahesAFK | anything in particular i should look for when i try live cd? | 08:38 |
| bazhang | MaahesAFK, yes, the video and the wifi | 08:38 |
| MaahesAFK | ok, if i made a cd a few months ago, will it update to latest release or do i need a new cd | 08:39 |
| bazhang | MaahesAFK, get the latest: 8.04.1 | 08:39 |
| Chris| | MaahesAFK, it would be way easier if you download the latest cd | 08:40 |

| frybye | Hi - trying to use hubackup from an eepc.. i hvae a shared folder from another pc on the home net mounted and shows up on the desktop of the eepc - but hubackup does not offer it as a location for the backups?? | 08:44 |
| frybye | How can i navigate to network-the other pc via the menus in hubackup?? | 08:45 |
| frybye | it gives access to the "filessystem" but where does one find networked directories in there?? <sorry - i am a linux-newbie> | 08:46 |
| shabda | What do i need to set up on Ubuntu so that python smtplib.py works? | 08:46 |
| shabda | I installed sendmail, what should I do next? | 08:46 |
| mrynit | shabda, install the python libraries that you need | 08:46 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, use mount to see what is mounted where | 08:47 |
| frybye | ok thanks... | 08:47 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, will usually be in /mnt or /media | 08:47 |
| Chris| | does anyone know how i can look up how to fix this error? (i'm making a livecd) http://i35.tinypic.com/2v3g3fo.jpg | 08:47 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, no problem | 08:47 |
| shabda | mrynit: The libs are already installed in python standard library, http://docs.python.org/lib/module-smtplib.html | 08:47 |
| shabda | How do I configure Python to use sendmail? | 08:48 |
| mrynit | point the application to that directory? | 08:48 |
| mrynit | ask in python? | 08:48 |
| frybye | DistroJockey: I see nothing in that about the other pc/dir?? | 08:49 |
| Ademan | anyone know how i can mount bin/cue disk images? | 08:49 |
| Matt____ | a while ago I asked about mounting a network drive (from OS X) so that it looks like a directory on ubuntu | 08:49 |
| frybye | the icon for it is on my desktop - but when I look in the hubackup there the entry is not shown.. | 08:49 |
| Matt____ | someone helped me out but I can't for the life of me remember what the command was | 08:49 |
| Matt____ | something with "ftp" in it I think | 08:49 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, can you check the Properties of that icon and see where it points to? | 08:50 |
| frybye | thanks... | 08:50 |
| Chris| | Matt____, the command should still be in your bash history in the terminal type "history" | 08:50 |
| Matt____ | Chris|: lemme try but I think this is a different virtual machine | 08:50 |
| chuy_max | hey guys, is there a command to increase/decrease volume running a command? | 08:51 |
| Chris| | Matt____, ah, do the history command on the machine you did the command on | 08:51 |
| Matt____ | yeah, not there | 08:51 |
| Matt____ | I guess I'll launch the other VM | 08:51 |
| Matt____ | I feel senile for not remembering this | 08:51 |
| nacer__ | increase lvm volume? | 08:51 |
| Matt____ | problem is I only did it once like 2 months ago | 08:51 |
| Chris| | chuy_max, yes "amixer -q set Master 10+ unmute" for volume up and "amixer -q set Master 10- unmute" | 08:52 |
| Chris| | for volume down | 08:52 |
| chuy_max | cool, thanks Chris| | 08:52 |
| frybye | DistroJockey: - strange - it says for location -in words(!) "on the Desktop" - not something like /home/ron/Desktop - just the words (in German here..) "on the Desktop" under access rights - "cannot be determined" | 08:53 |
| pawan | hi | 08:53 |
| frybye | DistroJockey: btw - I am a Brit. living in Germany and generally better here than in #unbutu-de | 08:54 |
| g[r]eek | I need to setup IE in ubuntu | 08:54 |
| ozzie212 | prince jammy's I am completely lost here. | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, yeah, wasn't sure if that was possible. I'm attempting to get a similar icon | 08:54 |
| frybye | I guess within the "file system" mounted directories on networked pcs show up someplace within the structure.. where would that be??? | 08:55 |
| ozzie212 | Can you give me those instructions again. I tried to get to paste bin but not even going to pretend to know anything aobut it | 08:55 |
| frybye | like at /usr/bin/ etc etc.. is there a location where I can expect to find a munted external home net dir? | 08:55 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: you're back | 08:56 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: i thought your windows xp was on a separate computer | 08:56 |
| ozzie212 | yeah but lost as ever. | 08:56 |
| ozzie212 | no dual boot | 08:56 |
| g[r]eek | I need to setup IE in ubuntu | 08:56 |
| ozzie212 | xp is on MBR | 08:56 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: so you're chatting from xp right now, and ubuntu is booted to a console? | 08:57 |
| nacer__ | is it possible to bridge virtual ethernet interfaces (ex: eth0:1)? | 08:57 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: in the other computer? | 08:57 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, so it won't let you go outside filesystem (as that's where the share shows up in Places - Computer) ? | 08:57 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: oh, i missed the dual boot. use my nick in the messages, you can autocomplete it | 08:57 |
| ozzie212 | No one computer. XP on C: Ubuntu on E: | 08:57 |
| frybye | no just my own /home/ron/download and "other" which gives the "file system" but not computer or network etc.. = crazy.. the sort of stuff that turns ppl off linux to be honest... | 08:58 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: one thing you could do is boot to ubuntu from the live cd and chat on irc from there. then you could easily pastebin the logs and someone might be able to help | 08:58 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, yeah, does make it tricky. I'm looking into it. | 08:59 |
| frybye | of course if i had loads more background knowledge there are great command line backup utilities.. | 08:59 |
| ozzie212 | that would work - except where is the irc program | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, still need to know where to copy to from the command line | 08:59 |
| frybye | normally I tend tu use a cd with accronis backup on it - but the eeepc does not have a cd drive and i dont (yet-) have an extern. one.. | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: i think it's in the menus. | 09:00 |
| ozzie212 | Again please excuse my retardendess | 09:00 |
| frybye | shure... | 09:00 |
| ozzie212 | THANK YOU. I'll be back on live CD | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: i don't use gnome, so i don't remember what program it is | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | what's the irc client that comes with the live cd? | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | pidgin? xchat? | 09:01 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: probably one of those two | 09:01 |
| DistroJockey | prince_jammys, pidgin | 09:01 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: there you go | 09:01 |
| frybye | DistroJockey: I have just realized that i dont really have time for this right now - can i give you my email adds in a pm and when you have something for me - that would be cool ok? | 09:01 |
| ozzie212_ | sorry I pressed the wrong button and got logged off | 09:02 |
| DistroJockey | frybye, yeah, that's fine. I'm interested in finding a solution to this myself now :) | 09:02 |
| prince_jammys | ozzie212: the irc program on the live cd is called 'pidgin' | 09:02 |
| ozzie212_ | TY | 09:02 |
| ozzie212_ | I'll be back | 09:02 |
| Finnish_ | How do I restart sounds? Suddenly I lost all sounds | 09:02 |

| unop | !info nfs-kernel-server | 09:35 |
| ubottu | nfs-kernel-server (source: nfs-utils): support for NFS kernel server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.1 (hardy), package size 146 kB, installed size 364 kB | 09:35 |
| ubuntu | prince_jammys: I am now using live cd | 09:36 |
| ra21vi | which vnc server would be best.. i never used one, just need to intall one | 09:36 |
| pbn | prince_jammys: it says: Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... up-to-date | 09:36 |
| pbn | and so on | 09:36 |
| pbn | it regenerates the locales basically but it doesn't let me choose the locales :( | 09:36 |
| witriew | Sivam: installing should just be using synaptic | 09:36 |
| ra21vi | tightvnc or vnc4server | 09:36 |
| prince_jammys | ubuntu: ok. well, just to let you know, i don't know what's causing the problem. but perhaps someone can help once you paste the logs. | 09:36 |
| witriew | Sivam: or you can use apt-get | 09:36 |
| Matt____ | ah it was sshfs | 09:36 |
| Bracki | How can I make gvim my default text editor in gnome? | 09:37 |
| humax | hello | 09:37 |
| ubuntu | prince_jammys: okay hoe do I get to the logs and where did you say I sould paste them | 09:37 |
| unop | Bracki, not being rude, but paste that exact question into your favourite search engine :) | 09:37 |
| humax | i have read up on alot and im still stuck | 09:37 |
| Karl31 | hi, is this a known issue? i can't get 8.04 past the login screen... the screen goes black and goes right back to "user/pass", had to reinstall feisty..... | 09:37 |
| humax | can u get kismet from sudo in terminal ? | 09:38 |
| prince_jammys | ubuntu: open a terminal from the menu | 09:38 |
| debCarlos | Man, thanks god i made a backup lol | 09:38 |
| tommo | Hello all | 09:38 |
| ra21vi | please suggest me which VNC Server to go with/... performance matters a lot | 09:38 |
| Sivam | witriew: I am unable to find sendmail in synaptic | 09:38 |
| prince_jammys | unop: can you install a package from apt when running off the live cd? | 09:38 |
| Sivam | ra21vi: you can use tightvnc or you can try with xming | 09:39 |
| debCarlos | I was about doing a kill -9 carlos when i remembered it lol | 09:39 |
| Peter2 | How do I control which application is launched when I insert an Audio CD in the drive? | 09:39 |
| unop | prince_jammys, sure, a live CD has the same environment as a normal install as far as managing packages is concerned | 09:39 |
| vlt | `lsusb` doesn't show me any devices when not run as root. Which group must I belong to for usb access? | 09:39 |
| unop | debCarlos, you should kick the "kill -9" habit :) | 09:39 |
| debCarlos | Anyone knows how can i remove a app that i compiled if i don't have the source anymore | 09:40 |
| debCarlos | unop: yeah :) | 09:40 |
| prince_jammys | unop: if someone wants to view some files on his normal '/' , he'd have to mount the partition from the live cd, correct? | 09:40 |
| unop | debCarlos, if you ever find yourself using "kill -9 anything" .. re-evaulate | 09:40 |
| ra21vi | Sivam: can you guide me to setup the X forwarding or Xming | 09:40 |
| debCarlos | unop: lol, what do you suggest ? kill -15 ? | 09:40 |
| echo6 | Peter2: Take a look at gconf-editor, launch it from the terminal for your logged in user | 09:40 |
| ra21vi | Sivam: I tried once but failed | 09:40 |
| Sivam | ra21vi | 09:41 |
| Sivam | ra21vi: yep. are u using windows | 09:41 |
| newkid | hey guys, i have a problem...i installed ubuntu with wubi | 09:41 |
| echo6 | debCarlos: make uninstall from the source directory | 09:41 |
| vlt | Ah, it's the group "scanner". | 09:41 |
| newkid | but it never asked me to create a root account | 09:41 |
| newkid | so now, i can't do shit | 09:41 |
| unop | prince_jammys, correct, I suspect you are trying to adjust something in the real install .. in which case, you would chroot into that mounted volume | 09:41 |
| debCarlos | echo6: I don't have it anymore | 09:41 |
| ra21vi | Sivam: no, I now have to, my Ubuntu is being shifted to DMZ and I am getting Windows | 09:41 |
| prince_jammys | unop: no, someone just need to pastebin some X logs | 09:41 |
| newkid | oh, and, for some reason i can't connect to the internet | 09:41 |
| echo6 | debCarlos: can you not fetch it and recompile again? | 09:42 |
| newkid | it just wont connect to any wireless conection | 09:42 |
| debCarlos | echo6: ok, yeah | 09:42 |
| dabb1 | anyone plz suggest me a torrent client which work with http proxy | 09:42 |
| unop | debCarlos, for i in 15 2 1 3; do kill $i $pid; sleep 2; done | 09:42 |
| dabb1 | in ubuntu | 09:42 |
| ra21vi | Sivam: just bad luck | 09:42 |
| debCarlos | unop: great | 09:42 |
| AlmtyBob | I'm trying to setup tightVNC server, but I don't know what to set my ~/.vnc/xstartup file to. the default is grey with a black term window, if I try to put "gnome-session" in there alone, it doesn't work. I use samples from the web and I get gnome, but everything is black and there's no graphics | 09:42 |
| Bracki | unop: All the hints I found so far sound like hacks. Symlinking to gedit etc. | 09:42 |
| Bracki | That'S why I was asking. | 09:43 |
| Sivam | ra21vi, can you brief the way you are trying to setup | 09:43 |
| p4_xxx | is there a way i can see all the samba passwords and users in my ubuntu server? | 09:43 |
| Peter2 | echo6: thanks for the pointer ... I have looked at gconf-editor, but it's not obvious what I should do! | 09:43 |
| unop | Bracki, i found this on google http://www.marksanborn.net/linux/making-gvim-your-default-text-editor-in-gnome/ see the last part on editing defaults.list | 09:43 |
| ra21vi | Sivam: sure, but a little later | 09:43 |
| AlmtyBob | oh doh, I just had depth set to 32bit | 09:44 |
| echo6 | AlmtyBob: IIRC you have to pass the X session authority file, try x11vnc, it gives a useful hint which shows this config should work | 09:44 |
| [A][L][I][E][N] | ciao | 09:44 |
| unop | [A][L][I][E][N], ciao | 09:44 |
| [A][L][I][E][N] | unop posso chieder a te? | 09:44 |

| [A][L][I][E][N] | ok | 09:45 |
| prince_jammys | Bracki: just put: export VISUAL=gvim in your .bashrc | 09:45 |
| debCarlos | echo6: Thanks, it worked :D | 09:45 |
| xintron | How do I add commands to be run when the computer starts (booting)? | 09:45 |
| AlmtyBob | echo6: I'm an idiot, I was applying a -depth 32, turning that off made it work fine | 09:45 |
| unop | !startup | xintron | 09:45 |
| AlmtyBob | don't suppos there's any vnc viewers that show compix effects? 8) | 09:45 |
| ubottu | xintron: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 09:45 |
| prince_jammys | Bracki: if that's what you're asking. (commands like crontab -e, visudo and so on will open in gvim) | 09:46 |
| xintron | !boot | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 09:46 |
| echo6 | AlmtyBob: Most of the vnc viewers will allow that, but it will be slower | 09:46 |
| echo6 | Peter2: Have a look at the options under nautilus | 09:46 |
| echo6 | Peter2: wihtin gconf-editor | 09:47 |
| babo | i want to create a directory for my users to upload files to. I want that directory to have a maximum size ( and extra security if possible ). | 09:47 |
| AlmtyBob | when I use the default ubuntu "remote desktop" settings, do I use the windows Remote Desktop connection to view it? | 09:47 |
| xintron | unop: I want this command to be run when booting "mount --bind /var/.... /home/...." where should I add that? | 09:47 |
| AlmtyBob | or is there another viewer I should use in windows | 09:47 |
| unop | xintron, rather than use a mount command, just put an entry in /etc/fstab | 09:47 |
| SitUbuntuSit | !filesharing | 09:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about filesharing | 09:47 |
| echo6 | AlmtyBob: The choice us yours, tightvnc, xming whatever :-) | 09:48 |
| AlmtyBob | hmm tightvnc didn't seem to work | 09:48 |
| AlmtyBob | using host:0 or just hot | 09:48 |
| AlmtyBob | err just host | 09:48 |
| debCarlos | xintron: Maybe in /etc/init.d ... that was what i used to do in gentoo... but i don't know what you have to do in Ubuntu ... | 09:48 |
| unop | debCarlos, errm, why make /etc/fstab redundant? :) | 09:48 |
| echo6 | AlmtyBob: you need to specifiy the ip of the machine you are connecting to e.g. 192.168.0.34:0 | 09:49 |
| debCarlos | unop: Oh! Didn't notice he was doing a mount.... sorry :) | 09:49 |
| AlmtyBob | right, was doing that | 09:49 |
| AlmtyBob | says failed to connect | 09:49 |
| `brooks | how do i edit how a command works? ie: execute ' echo "List of " + [PWD] ' before ls command executes? | 09:49 |
| AlmtyBob | 192.168.1.126:0 for mine | 09:49 |

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 | 10:14 |

| DistroJockey | natalisushka, did your /etc/hosts file change? | 11:02 |
| nando | alraune: like a CD-R? | 11:02 |
| kinnu | now what the heck | 11:02 |
| alraune | nando: try : mount /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 | 11:02 |
| kinnu | cant find the directory | 11:02 |
| jmd | So what happens if the old package needs to be updated? | 11:02 |
| xnv | Dazed: And in any case, you shouldn't lay any problem in Linux at the feet of "Ubuntu". It's the distro, not everything inside of it. | 11:02 |
| sajuuk | ok thx unggnu | 11:02 |
| zatoino | natalisushka: Try not opening it immediately after you boot. Try and wait a few minutes. I have the same problem with Outlook. | 11:03 |
| alraune | nando: written cd handy ? | 11:03 |
| * Dazed shakes his fist angrily at the sky. | 11:03 | |
| nando | alraune: says no media found | 11:03 |
| natalisushka | DistroJockey, How do I know if it changed? and what do you mean by that? What can happen if it changed? | 11:03 |
| nando | alraune: yeah i got one inside | 11:03 |
| Peppery | Hi, I want to set up a VPN server on my Ubuntu server machine but can't seem to find any good tutorials on how to do so. It has to be L2TP, PPTP or IPSec (whichever is most secure, if possible). OpenVPN isn't an option as the devices I wish to use it on do not support it. | 11:03 |
| Dazed | Damn you gods of linux! | 11:03 |
| kinnu | ffs | 11:03 |
| alraune | nando: written cd handy ? put a written cd in both drives | 11:03 |
| natalisushka | zatoino, Outlook? Are you using windows? | 11:03 |
| xnv | Dazed: The only thing you can blame Ubuntu for is using Gnome and you can't complain much since there's always Kubuntu | 11:03 |
| sajuuk | dazed: maybe you run KDE? I would but KDE doesn't see my memory sticks | 11:03 |
| nando | alraune: done... | 11:04 |
| DistroJockey | natalisushka, date stamp will tell you. Bad /etc/hosts file can cause long startup delays for some programs | 11:04 |
| Dazed | i know nothing about kde | 11:04 |
| sajuuk | nor does it see my german keyboard... | 11:04 |
| nando | alraune: something pops up displaying my files on the 2nd drive | 11:04 |
| Dazed | would it give me more love than gnome does? | 11:04 |
| natalisushka | DistroJockey, actually my system hangs for a long time while booting. I don't know why! How can I fix that? | 11:04 |
| nando | alraune: so its like the second drive is working for me | 11:04 |
| alraune | nando: mount /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 | 11:04 |
| prince_jammys | Dazed: give it a whirl | 11:04 |
| genius | How to determine if my kernel is compiled with AES cryptography? I have just dowanloaded hardy server | 11:04 |
| sajuuk | the background customisation is really sweet | 11:04 |

| alraune | nando: mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 | 11:04 |
| Dazed | kde is a WM right? | 11:05 |
| prince_jammys | Dazed: DM | 11:05 |

| alraune | nando: cd /media/cdrom1 | 11:05 |
| zatoino | natalisushka: Lol. My PC in the office is running windows. | 11:05 |
| DistroJockey | natalisushka, depends on the messages you get from dmesg | 11:05 |
| prince_jammys | Dazed: or DE if you like | 11:05 |
| alraune | nando: cd ls ,see your files? | 11:05 |

| DistroJockey | natalisushka, look for EE in dmesg (run from terminal) | 11:06 |
| nando | alraune: im a little lost | 11:06 |
| nando | alraune: hehe | 11:06 |
| roachmmflhyr | natalisushka, try dmesg | more | 11:06 |
| nando | alraune: basicly one cdrom drive is mounted and working... its the second one | 11:07 |
| prince_jammys | roachmmflhyr: you anti-GNU, you. | 11:07 |
| alraune | nando: ls ,see your files? | 11:07 |
| natalisushka | DistroJockey, What is EE? | 11:07 |
| nando | yeah | 11:07 |
| roachmmflhyr | prince_jammys, haha sometimes | 11:07 |
| nando | alraune: yeah for cd 2 | 11:07 |
| DistroJockey | natalisushka, EE = error | 11:07 |
| alraune | nando: sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 11:07 |

| Dazed | !enlightenment | 11:08 |
| ubottu | Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. | 11:08 |
| natalisushka | DistroJockey, I did it, doesn't seem to have found EE: "[ 0.000000] ACPI: DSDT 3BEAC408, 3AEE (r1 TOSINV SB450 6040000 MSFT 100000E)" | 11:08 |
| perfector | !packages | 11:08 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 11:08 |
| prince_jammys | Dazed: that one's pretty cool also. | 11:08 |
| TABASCO | Hi | 11:08 |
| nando | alraune: okay hold on | 11:08 |
| natalisushka | DistroJockey, I mean that's the only line I get with dmesg | grep EE | 11:09 |
| Broad1 | is there a way to backup my current version of ubuntu with selected additional programs onto a disc image that will automatically install the OS? | 11:09 |

| Dazed | a little hard to get around in i thought tho | 11:09 |
| prince_jammys | TABASCO: #ubuntu-ops | 11:09 |
| natalisushka | DistroJockey, However, using "dmesg | grep error" shows : "[ 26.104332] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found." | 11:09 |

| skeeel | we need to translate some documentation , do you know any soft (free as speech) that allow us to do it online in collaborative way | 11:13 |
| natalisushka | roachmmflhyr, At first I posted a problem of hanging apps, like Eclipse, which worked yesterday, and although I didn't install anything, today it hangs forever! | 11:13 |
| alraune | nando: behind iso9660 | 11:13 |
| alraune | nando: ey... | 11:13 |
| natalisushka | roachmmflhyr, So I was asking what can cause an app to suddenly start hanging and not opening .. I mean when you click on the Icon and the logo is loading, it hangs there | 11:13 |
| natalisushka | roachmmflhyr, I also noticed that ever since I installed ubuntu on this machine, it hangs a lot during boot! | 11:14 |
| alraune | nando: add a blank line hitting enter to the end of fstab | 11:14 |
| guntbert | DistroJockey: iirc EE is typically in xorg.log but not in the output of dmesg | 11:14 |
| skeeel | natalisushka, try the command "strace eclipse" that maybe shows you where eclips hang out , but not sure because it is java | 11:14 |
| alraune | nando: save fstab and close gedit | 11:14 |
| DistroJockey | guntbert, you are probably right :) | 11:15 |
| nando | alraune: im still behind | 11:15 |
| roachmmflhyr | natalisushka, what does /var/log/syslog say after you open Eclipse | 11:15 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | I'm having a problem with Xnest. I can't log on | 11:44 |
| tonisius | ugh, how do I get consistent grub loading of multiple OSs, I bring in lots of hard drives and work on them weekly, but it always jumbles up my grub list. I'm always setting up the entries at grub to load from root (hd0,1) or similar, | 11:44 |
| DRLD | wols_: done... what do i do to reset x? | 11:44 |
| wols_ | restart X | 11:44 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | DRLD: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 11:45 |
| tonisius | but the big problem I'm having is that I'm always having to deal with the root (hd#,#) never being consistent, any suggestions? | 11:45 |
| wols_ | tonisius: no way if you constantly move disks around | 11:45 |
| Dazed | wols: it says on that link Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for editing. Within the InputDevice section for your Configured Mouse, change Option "Buttons" "5" to Option "Buttons" "7" | 11:45 |
| Dazed | wols: my file doesnt have that setting in it tho | 11:45 |
| KingdomOFish | is .Xmodmap automagically loaded one startup in ubuntu gnome? | 11:45 |

| RainCT | rocko: you're welcome :). Does it work now? | 11:46 |
| tonisius | wols_: how come if windows I set the boot order to it, it always loads up fine, why can't it be similar with the grub? | 11:46 |

| Dazed | Thanks | 11:51 |
| Dazed | what is the difference between sudo and gksudo? | 11:51 |
| jpds | !gksudo | Dazed | 11:51 |
| ubottu | Dazed: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 11:51 |

| Oli``` | davidroderick2: you can ask questions here and use the forums. This channel is fast but that's why we prefix responses with the username.

| wols_ | pbn: $editor /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:18 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | wols_: What is irritating me is that I have asked several time over the past half hour and all I have got was "Describe it in more detail" | 12:18 |

| wols_ | Hondo_Kitsune: what irritates us are vague and useless "problem descriptions" | 12:18 |
| pbn | wols_: that I know, but in hm Debian there was a debconf dialog where you could choose country and even override things... | 12:18 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | simoncpu: Eh, not applicable to the task at hand | 12:20 |

| ActionParsnip | tonisius: solid state | 12:25 |
| torgrimt_ | Vixus: not really an option ;) | 12:25 |

| rocko | wols_: i dont want to login as the su i want to login to another user i have created | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: then id get a solid state hdd or a card reader with a card | 12:26 |
| brahmana | I searched for the error and found varied solutions some including doing stuff in recovery mode.. | 12:26 |
| Vixus | torgrimt_, doesn't the default program do exactly that anyway? It does when I put in an SD card. | 12:26 |
| torgrimt_ | Vixus: i had it hard enough to convice her to switch from windows xp | 12:26 |
| brahmana | I wanted to know if the problem is really that serious and whether there is a simpler solution. | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: i wouldnt worry about boot times, just in system performance | 12:27 |
| wols_ | tonisius: answer my question | 12:27 |
| tonisius | wols_: memory cards | 12:27 |
| torgrimt_ | Vixus: no, f-spot is the default. and it just creates alot of folders and a big mess ;) | 12:27 |
| wols_ | rocko: man su instead of telling me irrelevant things | 12:27 |
| === dlemcoe is now known as Western_Digital | ||
| tonisius | so card reader/ssd has similar performance? | 12:27 |
| Vixus | torgrimt_, you made your mum switch to ubuntu but you won't tell her how to copy photos manually? that's just silly. | 12:27 |
| torgrimt_ | Vixus: she wants to import all images, and create a directory called for instance christmas-Ã2008 | 12:27 |
| tonisius | I guess the cheaper method would make sense when I don't need much storage. | 12:27 |
| wols_ | tonisius: then use a card reader. it's faster to transfer the pictures than using the usb cable with the cmaera usually | 12:27 |
| tonisius | sure, not sure why the 'camera' is being used but I'll take your word for it | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | torgrimt_: kamera does that in kde | 12:28 |
| torgrimt_ | ActionParsnip: i know, but there must be an eqvivalente in gnome | 12:28 |

| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip:I'm not able to get lspci and the others, i'm running dual boot and i'm in windows right now | 12:28 |
| tonisius | now that I thikn about it, it's as quick as taking the memory card out and putting it into my system | 12:28 |
| torgrimt_ | i really wonder why ubuntu ships with f-spot as default. its really buggy, slow and horrible ;) | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !digikam | torgrimt_ | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about digikam | 12:29 |
| tonisius | the nikon d40 I have is usb2.0 capable, and the download is just as quick | 12:29 |
| torgrimt_ | ill google digikam ;) | 12:29 |
| tonisius | wols_: so I think using the cable is easier and more convenient when I don't have to open the latch | 12:29 |
| tonisius | wols_: and just as fast | 12:29 |
| wols_ | DSLR is a bit different than consumer digicams | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: can you get a wired connection til you get on your feet? | 12:29 |

| pen | I'm using HP laptop. Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too | 12:33 |
| pen | how do I fix this? | 12:34 |
| sledgeas | ActionParsnip: that's why i ask. i need some modified ubuntu installation | 12:34 |
| sledgeas | with ssh or so | 12:34 |
| quazzarr | exit | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sledgeas: get the alternative cd and you can do it all from ssh | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: run synaptic and install ndiswrapper | 12:34 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip: so any ideas? i tried iwconfig and the essid is off/any. Would that be a problem? | 12:34 |
| wols_ | sledgeas: two main problems I can see: getting unpartitioned space on the hdd and geting the ssh to run from the start | 12:35 |
| wols_ | the ssh install is doable | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: have you done the ndiswrapper install and config | 12:35 |
| torgrimt_ | Vixus: seems like its time for me to start up vim and code the darn thing myself | 12:35 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip:i did install ndiswrapper with synaptic | 12:35 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip:yes i've installed it | 12:35 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip: when i try to config it bashes | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: then you need to get your windows driver .inf and .sys files and thn run ndiswrapper -i <inf filename> | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: done stuff like that | 12:36 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip: i have installed the windows driver already | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: ok, just establishing whats what | 12:36 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper -l says driver present, hardware present | 12:37 |
| sledgeas | wols_: that's why i'm here | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: and does ndiswrapper get installed at boot | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: sudo ndiswrapper -m | 12:37 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip: i did -m | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: ok sweet | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ok so what if you run ifconfig do you see wlan0 or ath0 | 12:38 |
| naymlezwun | ActionParsnip: i get eth1 | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: ok try sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | naymlezwun: then reboot | 12:39 |

| * dextone sorry ... bazhang | 12:47 | |
| Dr_willis | porkpie, the vnc4server docs perhaps.. a read of the 'vncserver' script is handy also. (its a fancy script that is well commented) | 12:47 |
| porkpie | ok | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis | porkpie, xstartup is just a simple script - example (2 lines) --> xterm & exec gnome-session | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis | porkpie, that would launch gnome in the vncsession. change it to lauinch what you want | 12:48 |
| porkpie | OK | 12:48 |

| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: why not? | 12:53 |
| TerrorBite | I can no longer see desktop notifications | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, why... :) there really isent that much impressive about it.. yet another desktop.. with no real features othe rthen its designed to be 'lightweight' (the new buzzword i guess) | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | TerrorBite: do you mean like error messages | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: what features would you add? | 12:54 |
| idyllic | TerrorBite: application specific? | 12:54 |
| TerrorBite | idyllic: no, all libnotify notifications no longer appear | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, I dont like their choice in file manager.. and cant find where to change it for one thing. | 12:54 |
| monstrMobile | Does anyone know how to change the order of modules that load at boot? | 12:54 |
| TerrorBite | idyllic: I tried using the "notify-send" program to send a few, but nothing appeared | 12:54 |
| TerrorBite | I haven't seen any error messages | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, use it for a few days and see if you like it or not.. :) this is linux.. we use what we like.. and toss the rest. | 12:55 |

| monstrMobile | I need to know how to change when usbcore loads | 12:55 |
| ikonia | monstrMobile: in what way ? | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, i do have others installed.. and it still defaults to launching pcmman or whatever it was. so i went back to my customuized desktop i made my self. | 12:55 |
| monstrMobile | ikonia - i have a webcam that i have to unplug then plug back in when the system boots | 12:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: rox is the nuts :) | 12:56 |
| monstrMobile | ikonia - the reason is...the driver for the webcam is loaded after usbcore | 12:56 |
| TerrorBite | idyllic, ActionParsnip: any ideas? | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | mrwhippy: can you ping its name and ip? | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | ActionParsnip, rox is just a little weird in ways.. but i find it very useable. | 12:56 |

| mrwhippy | actionparsnip: i can remote to the server using ssh and everything is installed on the same server, so i am using localhost to try to connect to it | 12:57 |
| porkpie | Dr_willis: hmm! made the change but still get a grey desktop | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Juje007: I'd consider using the ubuntu desktop CD if you want a desktop, rather than a server install | 12:57 |

| gvk | Vegombrei: Write a bash script. | 12:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia: just to try it out never tried it out | 12:59 |
| ikonia | monstrMobile: thats done at module compile time | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: it's the same as the desktop | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: if you've tried the desktop - you've tried the same base os | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | Vegombrei, there are several 'rename' tools in the repositories. its doable.. what tool depends on exactly wha tyou want to do. do an 'apt-cache search rename' and see whats there. | 13:00 |

| TerrorBite | idyllic: it used to work with compiz-fusion, I'll try with metacity though | 13:01 |
| ikonia | Juje007: if your using a desktop PC, you may actaully be better installing the OS from the desktop CD - as it's setup better for home/Desktop hardware | 13:02 |

| tonisius | I understand where it is, but why is it not letting me run the grub install on sda? | 13:24 |
| Flash-xD | how can i make to umask stay 133 when logout? | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: what does it say when you try? | 13:24 |
| tonisius | it says that error: | 13:24 |
| tonisius | ugh, what could: "/dev/sdc1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" ? | 13:24 |
| ogzy | is there anyway to see the resource addresses that are used by pci devices in Ubuntu, like the one in windows device manager show by connection | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: you mayhave to make the partition the ACTIVE partition | 13:24 |
| tonisius | ActionParsnip: how do I make the partition active, that's sort of new to me | 13:25 |
| tonisius | I've done this 4 times today, but this time it's not working | 13:25 |
| tonisius | grub has been decent all day | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: well yeah, the system will boot the active partition, if you install grub on an inactive partition it wont do anything | 13:25 |
| tonisius | hmm, ugh, maybe cause it's mounted? | 13:26 |
| tonisius | since I had to mount sdc1 to chroot into it | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: that too | 13:26 |
| tonisius | hm, but I did this today multiple times with the same steps | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tonisius: id check its the active partition in fdisk or cfdisk | 13:26 |
| tonisius | mount the main drive, bind the dev, mount the sysyfs, and the other stuff | 13:26 |
| tonisius | ok | 13:26 |
| timz | anybody here got a creative x-fi card running with alsa? | 13:27 |
| tonisius | what would cfdisk say tif it was active? | 13:27 |
| tonisius | currently the flags are set, but nothing much else | 13:27 |

| prower | Hello :> Could anyone recommend a good brand and model of mp3 player that's well supported under Ubuntu? I've read up on the Sandisk Fuze but it seems like there are some issues with that, I was hoping for something like the PSP (aka. just moves the files on as if it were a flash drive) | 13:27 |
| tonisius | Flash-xD: that's a common question | 13:28 |
| tonisius | prower: sandisk is like that, | 13:28 |
| tonisius | most MP3 players that act like a portable drive do that | 13:28 |
| tonisius | my ipod connects too, just not to move music on it, but to put files on it | 13:28 |
| corsaro94 | salve | 13:28 |
| cynicismic | use gtkpod | 13:29 |
| cynicismic | that can interact with the itunes lib | 13:29 |
| prower | tonisius: Yeah, that's what I was told about sandisk, but reading a page on the sandisk fuze it seems like there's some problems with it | 13:29 |
| Flash-xD | tonisius, i know how to put it on .bashrc, but i dont want to put my home, i want to put /home/html/inf/ | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | prower: cowon make sweet players that are ubuntu friendly | 13:29 |
| prower | I would get an ipod but the newest generation are no longer supported :< | 13:29 |
| cynicismic | yeah the cowon ones are cool | 13:29 |
| prower | ActionParsnip: Hmm, I'll have to see if they are available in my area thanks | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | prower: check the x5 it supports ogg and m3u | 13:30 |
| tonisius | ActionParsnip: wow, just looked up my linux partitions with cfdisk /dev/sdc | 13:30 |

| ActionParsnip | pinnerup: so tats the wired internet connection over ethernet cable? | 13:35 |
| geirha | compubomb: You need to add those variables ssh-agent outputs to your environment. You can do this by copy/pasting them, or running it through eval "eval $(ssh-agent)" | 13:35 |
| compubomb | geirha: i'll show you what it does. | 13:35 |
| pinnerup | ActionParsnip: Right. | 13:35 |

| genius | how to upgrade kernel to 2.6.24-22 ? | 13:37 |
| geirha | compubomb: You are expected to run the output from ssh-agent as shell-commands. | 13:38 |
| compubomb | geirha: that seemed to work | 13:38 |
| compubomb | why did that work ? | 13:38 |

| Vegombrei | can i pkill compiz.real too ? | 13:40 |
| Vegombrei | ActionParsnip: can i pkill compiz.real too ? | 13:40 |
| unr3a1 | now, does Ubuntu save those DNS settings to use if I connect somewhere else, or does it pull for new DNS settings everytime it gets an IP address from DHCP? | 13:40 |
| geirha | compubomb: that will create a new ssh-agent everytime bash is run, so that's not such a good idea ... I'm not sure what the best way is :/ | 13:40 |

| MXIIA | Yes, GRUB not LiLo | 13:42 |

| unr3a1 | I apologize for asking such a n00b question, but I never really understood how Ubuntu gets its DNS configurations | 13:42 |

| prince_jammys | MXIIA: you'll see the different headings. you can change what they say. be careful, make a backup | 13:43 |
| unr3a1 | yes, but does it save those DNS settings regardless of where it is connected, or does it pull for new DNS settings when it goes for DHCP? | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | pinnerup: try sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/old_interfaces | 13:43 |

| ActionParsnip | pinnerup: then reboot | 13:43 |

| everton137 | Hi, can someone tell me if you can play this video streaming http://aovivoesportes.terra.com.br/fut/olimpiadas2008/1223-br/ on Ubuntu, please? | 14:05 |
| the_darkside_986 | And you are trying to run the script "realplay" ? | 14:05 |
| ufa | hello | 14:05 |
| tonisius | Pirate_Hunter: issue with reinstalling grub today | 14:06 |
| the_darkside_986 | if it prints errors, try running it from gnome-terminal (Terminal) | 14:06 |
| zorglu_ | q. i got a ubuntu-server installation in french language, and i would like to switch it to english, where should i look ? | 14:06 |
| indian_munnda | the_darkside_986: i run that but that doesn't worked | 14:06 |
| ufa | I want to mount a fs with "mount -a" but not on boot | 14:06 |
| ufa | is it possible? | 14:06 |
| the_darkside_986 | indian_munnda, open up Terminal, cd to Desktop/realplay-whatever, and run ./realplay and see what Terminal prints. | 14:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tonisius: oh :( | 14:06 |
| tonisius | Pirate_Hunter: I can mount the partition that I have my boot files in, but grub doesn't see it at all, it see;s an unknown partition type | 14:06 |
| tonisius | using all the different tutorials, online don't help either | 14:07 |
| tonisius | http://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2007/06/27/restore-grub/ <-- this being the most universal one I've found | 14:08 |
| wiredless | i am currently running version 7.10 (i386) i have gone to try and install the package emacs, but i get an error "this package can not install on your computer (i386). would someone mind pointing me in the right direct please? | 14:08 |
| tonisius | the find command doesn't find anything | 14:08 |
| benistar | nope | 14:08 |
| benistar | whats up? | 14:08 |
| tonisius | even if I can find it in the /dev/sdc1 partition myself when I mount it to someplace | 14:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tonisius: what file format is the partition giving you trouble, try unounting it and adding it to fstab or you could recreate the file? | 14:08 |
| wiredless | well i can keep getting error can not install package on your comp (i386) no matter what package it is | 14:08 |
| tonisius | huh? | 14:09 |
| tonisius | I have no OS that wants to load | 14:09 |
| tonisius | I'm doing this all from a live CD | 14:09 |
| tonisius | my windows partitions don't want to boot, my linux one refuses to load up | 14:09 |
| tonisius | and live cd isn't helping much at the moment, | 14:09 |

| wiredless | so yeah everytime i try to install a package i get error "can not install package on comp (i386) any thoughts please | 14:11 |
| kuroryuu | everton137: only problem I have is it says it's not available in my region :P | 14:11 |
| jrib | wiredless: give us more info. What are you trying to install exactly? | 14:11 |
| userbn | hg | 14:11 |
| xnv | wiredless: Uh, maybe the package not be designed for i386? | 14:11 |
| wiredless | emacs for example | 14:11 |
| raspac | hI i am trying https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and I dont know how to login as ROOT user. Can you guide me | 14:11 |
| wiredless | i have just tried to install any package from the list, like an alarm clock but they all say the same | 14:12 |
| jrib | wiredless: are you using APT? With apt-get for example: sudo apt-get install emacs21 | 14:12 |
| xnv | wiredless: What does "uname -m" show? | 14:12 |
| everton137 | kuroryuu, how can I try to discover why it's not playing here? | 14:12 |
| jrib | wiredless: what list...? | 14:12 |
| wiredless | no im using the package programme in ubuntu | 14:12 |
| pogay | raspac: open a console - type sudo su (enter your passwd) - then you are in a root console | 14:13 |
| raspac | Hi Guys. I am trying https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and I dont know how to login as ROOT user. Can you guide me | 14:13 |
| jrib | !root > raspac (read the private message from ubottu) | 14:13 |
| ubottu | raspac, please see my private message | 14:13 |

| kuroryuu | everton137: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:13 |
| tonisius | guess the only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling ubuntu | 14:13 |
| tonisius | what a fail | 14:14 |
| jrib | wiredless: what happens with the command I gave you? | 14:14 |
| tonisius | hope I don't delete anything important | 14:14 |
| jrib | tonisius: have backups | 14:14 |
| tonisius | jrib: not possible | 14:14 |
| tonisius | jrib: otherwise this wouldn't be a problem | 14:14 |
| jrib | tonisius: then your data is not important | 14:14 |
| everton137 | kuroryuu, it is already installed | 14:14 |
| wiredless | let me try 2 sec | 14:14 |
| tonisius | jrib: at this hour, I need a working desktop | 14:14 |
| tonisius | laptop only has so much space, (30GB) | 14:14 |
| kuroryuu | everton137: did you restart your browser? | 14:14 |
| xnv | jrib: Any reason for usig > instead of |? | means I can read it too and maybe add more info if I don't think it's sufficient. | 14:15 |
| everton137 | kuroryuu, I meant, it was installed | 14:15 |
| xnv | *using | 14:15 |
| hosk | if my current computer is running an X server, and the computer i'm SSH'd into is running an X server, how do I remotely start/forward an X server | 14:15 |
| tonisius | and my desktop has too much, 3 partitions, 2x windows with important files, and linux which has the backups | 14:15 |
| droopsta915 | i ned to install an installer deb-bin file, its on my desktop, how can i do so? | 14:15 |
| jrib | xnv: spams the channel less | 14:15 |
| xnv | jrib: Not by much. Still prints a message, just a bit shorter. | 14:16 |
| jrib | xnv: you can '/msg ubottu FACTOID' if you aren't sure what info he sent | 14:16 |
| everton137 | kuroryuu, if you try playing this "http://terratv.terra.com.br/olimpiadas/templates/ol_playerlive.aspx?vgnid=179955"on mplayer, what happens? | 14:16 |

| hosk | xnv, thanks | 14:18 |
| timz | JeanEdouardF, why? | 14:18 |
| jrib | xnv: he used to not do that, but it was changed recently. I think the issue was people would often ignore their private message and attempts like my alias I had before with the parenthetical statement didn't seem to help | 14:19 |

| G|enn | Hmm, I have an issue.. When I save my WLAN network in Ubuntu, and reboots, the network is gone, so I have to set it up again.. why? | 14:28 |
| tonisius | used grub-install --root-directory..... | 14:28 |
| pogay | tonisius: what was the problem? | 14:28 |
| tonisius | pThe file /mnt//boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. | 14:29 |
| tonisius | if I don't use the --recheck flag, I get this error: /dev/sdc1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 14:29 |
| tonisius | using this command now: root@ubuntu:/# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda --recheck | 14:30 |
| pogay | important ist that you make a mount --bind /mnt/inst/ boot /boot | 14:30 |
| tonisius | I had mounted /dev/sda to /mnt | 14:30 |
| tonisius | inst? | 14:30 |

| kepler-linux | hello. im looking for someone who has experience in ltsp. is there anyone? | 14:31 |
| tonisius | i've never seen that before, I'll do that I guess... | 14:31 |
| gatestone | zash, there is a thread at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cnn-live-video-591293/ but rather strange and flaky resulutions | 14:31 |
| pogay | tonisius: mount --bind /mnt/yournewinstallation/ boot /boot so grub installs to your installation not to CD-Bootable. | 14:32 |
| kepler-linux | or does anybody know if i can use dlan with LTSP? | 14:32 |
| pogay | kepler-linux: yes I'm certain. A fiend of mine uses dlan, with ltsp | 14:32 |
| hosk | do I have to uncomment the 3 Xforwarding lines on both machines to forward X11 through SSH | 14:33 |
| kepler-linux | pogay, so it should work with dlan? | 14:33 |
| tonisius | pogay: command doesn't work, and I replaced the yournewinstallation | 14:33 |
| remoteCTRL | anyone got experience with lsi 1078 sas raid controller? | 14:33 |
| xnv | hosk: On the server, it should just have to be enabled. On the client, connecting with the -X option is usually sufficient. | 14:33 |
| kepler-linux | pogay, when the client is loading the nbi.img it doesn't work. | 14:34 |
| tonisius | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows I'm moving down the list | 14:34 |
| kepler-linux | :( | 14:34 |
| pogay | kepler-linux: dlan (powerline) just replaces a normal LAN, should work if connection works | 14:34 |
| tonisius | right now going to try Super Grub Disk | 14:34 |
| bmeynell | how can I tell how much swap space I'm using? | 14:34 |
| tonisius | bmeynell: df -ha | 14:34 |
| bmeynell | thanks tonisius | 14:34 |
| kepler-linux | pogay, the connection should be ok, because we get ip form DHCP | 14:34 |
| bmeynell | tonisius: hmm... it didn't return anything that was blatantly swap space | 14:35 |
| pogay | tonisius: look at my wiki http://www.ddy.ch/pm/laden/pm.wiki/HW-Installation/GRUB1 | 14:35 |
| tonisius | bmeynell: look at the part labeled swap | 14:35 |
| tonisius | bmeynell: should show | 14:35 |
| bmeynell | tonisius: nadda... it's a vps | 14:35 |
| tonisius | then you can't know | 14:36 |
| bmeynell | ^^^ don't know if that's maybe why | 14:36 |
| tonisius | ask your provider | 14:36 |
| tonisius | you're CHrooted | 14:36 |
| tonisius | and have no access to that information | 14:36 |
| pogay | kepler-linux: yes so ltsp should work with problem. | 14:36 |
| bmeynell | tonisius: ahh, k... is it possible to create additional swap space or is that another question for my host? | 14:36 |
| pogay | tonisius: don't try with chroot, it very complicated that it works | 14:37 |
| remoteCTRL | xnv: well basically i wanna know if it works properly with linux? | 14:37 |
| kepler-linux | pogay, ok. i try it again. maybe it works now... | 14:38 |
| kepler-linux | *hope* | 14:38 |
| pogay | kepler-linux: good luck! | 14:38 |
| kepler-linux | pogay, thanks | 14:38 |

| bmeynell | kuroryuu: it's a vps... that's what I'm trying to figure out... how badly I'm being f**** and if I should move to a real server | 14:42 |
| bmeynell | I need a gig of swap space | 14:42 |
| tonisius | bmeynell: bemoved to a dedicated real server | 14:42 |
| tonisius | you will always have to share with others the resources you want | 14:42 |
| tonisius | that's what a VPS is for | 14:42 |
| remoteCTRL | *sigh* | 14:42 |
| tonisius | I know, i have friends that did a lot of torrenting, or hogging processes | 14:42 |

| datacrusher | iv got a problem with samba, and i saw an issue regardin to vista | 14:43 |
| datacrusher | so i found that my version of samba, 3.028 its much older than the one that can talk to vista | 14:43 |
| timmillwood | I am thinking about switching 100% from Mac OS X to Ubuntu, thoughts? | 14:43 |
| jbroome | tonisius: they probably don't know how to manage a real server | 14:43 |
| datacrusher | so i used apt-get upgrade samba | 14:43 |
| datacrusher | but none new was found, so iv downloaded a .tar file from samba.org | 14:44 |
| jbroome | timmillwood: personally, i don't care | 14:44 |
| tonisius | handling a desktop is harder, when you're handling many hard drives in a week | 14:44 |
| datacrusher | how do i install tar packages on ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| tonisius | a server never needs to be shut off or anything | 14:44 |
| MikeSeth | datacrusher: you don't have tar installed? | 14:44 |
| MikeSeth | datacrusher: thats impossible | 14:44 |
| tonisius | nor upgrading video drivers, all the stuff is simpler | 14:44 |
| tonisius | my desktop has been nothing but hell | 14:44 |

| landonab | Question: I have an older laptop with an ATI Radeon 9200 and am looking at upgrading to a new laptop with either an Intel X3100 or an Nvidia Geforce GO 7150M. Problem I have with the older laptop is external monitor support does not work. Does anyone know if I would have better luck with the latter cards? | 14:45 |
| tonisius | sherbsauce: rm -rf / ? | 14:45 |
| filo1234 | tonisius: yes sudo fdisk -l but i canot see if is ext3 or ext2 or jfs | 14:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | are there any guides to newbs trying out ubuntu server, like tutorials I could do "i wish to try ubuntu server but have no reason to use it"? | 14:45 |
| tonisius | filo1234: hmm, mine showed me the actual type | 14:45 |
| filo1234 | tonisius: /dev/sdb1 1 4998 40146403+ 83 Linux | 14:46 |
| kuroryuu | landonab: I've heard support for the X3100 isn't great, and nvidia cards usually have the best support | 14:46 |
| stdin | sherbsauce: just put the liveCD in and choose "install", it'll format it for you | 14:46 |
| tonisius | actually, mine doesn't say it either. | 14:46 |
| RodMcKay | hi all, is there a way to tell gnome to align the desktop icons on the right side? | 14:46 |
| tonisius | that sucks | 14:46 |
| jbroome | timmillwood: oh sorry, you just asked for "thoughts" with no direction or specification | 14:46 |
| tonisius | filo1234: try mounting it. | 14:46 |
| sherbsauce | Stdin - Thanks very much | 14:46 |
| datacrusher | i may have | 14:46 |
| tonisius | filo1234: that was another alternative, then do a df -Tha | 14:46 |
| landonab | kuroryuu thanks for the response | 14:46 |
| datacrusher | i just dont know the comand | 14:46 |
| tonisius | or -T | 14:46 |
| juro | hi, is there a similar program to Enso for Ubuntu? | 14:46 |
| tonisius | for the type | 14:46 |
| filo1234 | tonisius: ok i try | 14:47 |
| DigitalTanha | how can i get also to play multiple streams? | 14:47 |
| filo1234 | tonisius: thanks | 14:47 |
| filo1234 | ok | 14:47 |
| DigitalTanha | *alsa | 14:47 |
| kuroryuu | filo1234: try cfdisk, that usually tells me which FS | 14:47 |
| datacrusher | MikeSeth: i may have, its an ubuntu server install | 14:47 |
| datacrusher | text only | 14:47 |
| landonab | kuroryuu i am just concerned that if i get the same lack of support for the external monitor that i should not bother upgrading to a new laptop....waste of money | 14:47 |
| MikeSeth | datacrusher: I've never seen an *nix box that doesnt have tar | 14:47 |
| Rabbitbunny | Anybody happen to know why my cursor is yellow and a can't backspace in terminal->screen->irssi under xubuntu 8.04? | 14:47 |
| MikeSeth | datacrusher: or did you mean install software from source tarballs? | 14:47 |
| tonisius | kuroryuu: I learned it doesnt help much | 14:48 |
| pogay | tonisius: is it the first time you install grub? | 14:48 |
| tonisius | pogay: nope, | 14:48 |
| tonisius | pogay: done this way too many times, | 14:48 |
| tonisius | installed 100 too many servers | 14:48 |
| tonisius | from gentoo to redhat | 14:48 |
| datacrusher | it HAVE, i think | 14:48 |
| pogay | tonisius: sometimes it reacts very strange... | 14:49 |
| kepler-linux | pogay, thanks. i restarted the ltsp-server while it was connected with the dlan. after the restart it works. | 14:49 |
| MikeSeth | btw re ATI: X300 fglx has issues | 14:49 |
| kepler-linux | thanks | 14:49 |
| kuroryuu | landonab: you could always get a macbook :P though I personally can't stand OS X, it's at least a unix | 14:49 |
| tonisius | pogay: today it's the strangest, none of my normal methods work, and none of google's methods have worked | 14:49 |
| datacrusher | im just worried about how to do it on the text mode, without losing the folder paths and so on | 14:49 |
| tonisius | I'm doing the reinstall of the OS< and seeing if that will do | 14:49 |
| tonisius | that's the last step in the ubuntu how to repair grub | 14:49 |
| pogay | tonisius: I made recently a few installations on usb-Drives and sticks, usually it works. On Drive did only work with grub2 | 14:49 |
| landonab | kuroryuu i have considered that. just not wanting to spend the money if i am only going to use linux. would rather invest in a thinkpad | 14:49 |
| timmillwood | if I setup a ubuntu server locally on VMware can I install it on my VPS? if so how? | 14:49 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: hmmm? | 14:50 |
| tonisius | pogay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#The%20GUI%20Way:%20Using%20the%20Alternate/Install%20CD%20and%20Overwriting%20the%20Windows%20bootloader | 14:50 |
| MikeSeth | timmillwood: probably yes, but i wouldnt recommend it | 14:50 |
| kuroryuu | landonab: well you can look up the model on http://linux-laptop.net/ and see if other people have gotten it working | 14:50 |
| filo1234 | tonisius: but suppse if i cannot mount HD because i don' t know FS, my question is: is possible to see FS of an HD not mounted?? | 14:50 |
| melter | what's the procedure for replacing dhclient3 with dhcpcd? | 14:50 |
| MikeSeth | melter: apt-get does that on its own iirc | 14:50 |
| jbroome | filo1234: sudo fdisk -l | 14:51 |
| tonisius | filo1234: if the fdisk, and cfdisk didn't see it, then maybe it could be mounted with mount without specifying the type | 14:51 |
| timmillwood | mikeseth: you think I would be better just setting it up on VPS to start with? | 14:51 |
| kepler-linux | bye | 14:51 |
| zorglu_ | !language | 14:51 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 14:51 |
| tonisius | it will try, and report an error, or mount it | 14:51 |
| zorglu_ | nah | 14:51 |
| landonab | kuroryuu thanks. i have done a lot of googling but i will check out the link. | 14:51 |
| melter | MikeSeth: it doesn't uninstall dhclient, which is used before dhcpcd | 14:51 |
| tonisius | if it mounts it, you can see the type using df -T | 14:51 |
| pogay | tonisius: but the trick to mount ---bind did help me a lot. | 14:51 |
| filo1234 | tonisius: is only a curiosity | 14:51 |
| MikeSeth | melter: so uninstall it manually | 14:51 |
| kibibyte | hi | 14:51 |
| MikeSeth | timmillwood: probably | 14:51 |
| kibibyte | ls | 14:52 |
| melter | MikeSeth: then network-manager is uninstalled, which kills networking altogether | 14:52 |
| kibibyte | i created a script and i want to execute it during systm startup , i coied it to /etc/init.d but it dosnt start | 14:52 |
| kibibyte | why | 14:52 |
| tonisius | filo1234: then try it | 14:52 |
| triggerhapp | kibibyte: First step, did you remember to set it chmod +x ? | 14:53 |
| kibibyte | its is +x | 14:53 |
| pogay | tonisius: when I made a installation via chroot in /dev/sdc . Grub wanted to install in /dev/scd8 (!). sca8 was my real / and sdc2 was the chroot. | 14:53 |
| melter | MikeSeth: ubuntu ships with 4 dhcp clients, but there appears to be no documented way of actually using anything other than dhcp3-client | 14:53 |
| nemo_ | any operator whose i ask | 14:53 |
| kibibyte | triggerhapp, it is | 14:54 |
| MikeSeth | melter: I bet it's a debian alternative | 14:54 |
| pogay | tonisius: IMHO, when grub has problems with the stages, it looks at the wrong place. | 14:54 |
| triggerhapp | Yeah, give me a mo, im trying to remember how the init scripts work again :P | 14:54 |
| ncfi1013_ | i installed itunes thru wine in linux and still can't get it to "see" my ipod. i opened up both rhythmbox and songbird; they both "see" my ipod, but i can't get them to sync it. how can i do all three of these things: get itunes to see my ipod thru wine, sync my ipod in rhythmbox, and sync my ipod in songbird? | 14:54 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: whats your problem w/grub? | 14:54 |
| bullgard4 | How can I make a table which associates a key of my IBM Thinkpad T42 keyboard and its associated keycode, and this for all the 100+ keys? | 14:54 |

| nemo_ | mikeseth: hi i have notebook Axioo how to install ubuntu for it. that's problem with display | 14:55 |
| MikeSeth | nemo_: what video? | 14:55 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: is that really an ubuntu issue ? | 14:55 |
| joaopinto | juro, you need to describe Directory Opus | 14:55 |
| nemo_ | mikeseth: the chipset is via | 14:55 |
| ice_cream | mmm, that reminds me, i should think about ipod alts | 14:55 |
| MikeSeth | nemo_: i dont know anything about via, what's the problem specifically? | 14:56 |
| juro | joaopinto, Directoy Opus is a Windows Explorer replacement that adds tons of useful features http://www.gpsoft.com.au/ | 14:56 |
| nemo_ | mikeseth: thats no more display after install ubuntu | 14:56 |
| joaopinto | bullgard4, http://web.mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_xmodmap.html | 14:57 |
| datacrusher | iv only found regarding to tar on the graphic mode | 14:57 |
| datacrusher | iv tryed tar -xzvf samba.tar | 14:57 |
| kibibyte | thx riaal | 14:57 |
| kibibyte | thx triggerhapp | 14:57 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I am surprised that you are not answering but putting this question. The answer to your question is: Yes, it is. If I would use this computer in Windows, I would not be in need of this table. | 14:57 |
| datacrusher | but it dont work, says the same version | 14:57 |
| nemo_ | mikeshet : my vga crard is via / s3g unichrom pro igp | 14:57 |
| joaopinto | juro, add/remove, search for file manager, there are plenty of options :P | 14:58 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: something that not even the ubuntu site can't help with, I no longer know how to explain my problems with it, except that I can't get grub to mount the partition with /boot/ in it | 14:58 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: maybe I have missunderstood your question, could you please rephrease it | 14:58 |
| tonisius | my nix partition is on /dev/sdc1 | 14:58 |
| joaopinto | bullgard4, you need to create a xmodmap for that keyboard | 14:58 |
| tonisius | I've tried all the tricks except the super grub disk on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#The%20GUI%20Way:%20Using%20the%20Alternate/Install%20CD%20and%20Overwriting%20the%20Windows%20bootloader <---- this site | 14:58 |
| fulhack | hey.. I have a bit of a strange question. On my laptop (A Zepto ZNote) I have a mute button for audio, and on this button there's a LED. When I press the button in MS-Windows the LED shines, in Linux it doesn't. Can I Light it somehow? | 14:58 |
| juro | joaopinto, integrated (s)ftp, rename via regex, dual window layout, tabs for each window ... | 14:58 |
| nemo_ | mikeshet : after i install ubuntu blank display and no respons for login screen. | 14:59 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I am in a hurry to answer to MikeSeth. | 14:59 |
| pulsetsar | hi, can anyone help me with a samba problem? or is this the wrong place? | 14:59 |
| pogay | tonisius: try grub2, but a very recent version... | 14:59 |
| joaopinto | Jurkki, nautilus has integrated sftp, don't know about th other features | 14:59 |
| tonisius | currently doing the reinstall portion | 14:59 |
| MikeSeth | nemo_: so switch to console and diagnose | 14:59 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: ok, please re-post your question when you have chance, I'm not sure I clearly understood it | 14:59 |
| tonisius | pogay: not gonna try something new, i'm trying to get this older one to work, and more people know how to use it 'properly' | 14:59 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: boot partition corrupt? filesystem type set correctly in partition table? | 14:59 |
| eeepc | hello | 14:59 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: if the fs type is not 83 grub wont boot it | 15:00 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: I can mount it myself to /mnt/ and navigate | 15:00 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: it sees type 6 | 15:00 |
| roachmmflhyr | !ebox | 15:00 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 15:00 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: why? if its a linux fs it has to be 83 | 15:00 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: but fdisk -l shows more partitions than I should have | 15:00 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: I'm just saying what it's telling me | 15:00 |
| pogay | tonisius: can you see the things via grub commandline find /vmlinuz | 15:00 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: 1) change fs type to 83 2) fdisk -l > pastebin | 15:00 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: already pasted it | 15:01 |
| bytecode | Hi, is there a way of determining which drivers are currently in use? I'm trying to diagnose a problem with my ATI Gfx card and want to know what is and isn't in use and what's installed... | 15:01 |
| tonisius | let me get the link | 15:01 |
| tonisius | http://pastie.org/252178 <-- this is my current hard disk layout | 15:01 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: there we go | 15:01 |
| nemo_ | mikeshet : if i use ubuntu live cd thats ok. and no problem with play a demo. but after install i have crash display with it. i try to use with root konsole thats no problem. | 15:01 |
| xnv | bytecode: lsmod will give you a list of the modules currently in use | 15:02 |
| tonisius | the /dev/sdc is my linux drive, the fat16 shouldn't be there if I recall, | 15:02 |
| spree | tonisius wow fat16 | 15:02 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: which one is your /boot? | 15:02 |
| tonisius | sdc1 was, and still is | 15:02 |
| tonisius | I mounted it to mnt right now | 15:02 |
| tonisius | and it's showing up properly | 15:02 |
| nemo_ | mikeshet : then i try startx, just blank display i saw. | 15:02 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: cfdisk, select sdc1, type t, enter 83, save | 15:02 |
| fauzie | Hi ... how do I get color from the terminal? I meant .... folders are used to be blue, binaries green, archives red, devices yellow, etc .... | 15:02 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: ok, will try that | 15:02 |
| spree | you could convert that to NTFS and get substantial space savings, just fyi | 15:02 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: also, why do you have swap in an extended partition? waste of space | 15:02 |
| bytecode | xnv: thanks - I tried that but wondered whether there was more detail available - hence query | 15:02 |
| MikeSeth | (albeit little) | 15:02 |
| tonisius | MikeSeth: it's how ubuntu set it up | 15:03 |
| remoteCTRL | datacrusher: in that case probably you tryed to extract the tar archive twice | 15:03 |
| xnv | bytecode: About the drivers or about your card? | 15:03 |
| gisli | Hver er asni á þessum server | 15:03 |
| tonisius | and I have 4GB of ram | 15:03 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: I'd wipe /dev/sdc2 and /dev/sdc5 and make one primary swap partition /dev/sdc2 | 15:03 |
| bytecode | drivers - I know about the card - but I want to determine whether it's using the radeon, ati orfglrx driver | 15:03 |
| remoteCTRL | datacrusher: in the .tar file there is supposed to be a configure file ? | 15:03 |
| sylfire | lo all. who could give me some ubuntu-xen pointers? I tried setting up xen with the ubuntu-xen-server package, the bridging went fine and the adapter for the dom0 can acquire an address from DHCP, but I can't get any network traffic going | 15:03 |
| xnv | bytecode: If it's using any of those, it should be in lsmod | 15:04 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: either way, grub is whining when the partition table fs type marker is invalid - and in this case it is | 15:04 |
| pogay | tonisius: I had the case, where grub recognised the geometry but couldn't access the files..http://www.ddy.ch/pm/laden/pm.wiki/ProdTest/GRUB.. | 15:04 |
| remoteCTRL | datacrusher: btw you can just right click the tar archive and say extract here | 15:04 |

| MrBill | I've run into a problem with my Hardy install - my system is acting up on a semi-regular basis. Perhaps once per week it'll "freeze" to the point where I can't open new programs, I'll go to launch something like firefox or evolution and the window will just "grey out" and hang. If I click the log off/power down button in the top right I don't get anything either. The only way I"m able to get back to a useable state is to hop over to another termi | 15:08 |
| MrBill | nal (ctrl-alt-1) and login and issue a shutdown -r and reboot. I'm not really sure where to start looking as far as logs or whatever, can anyone suggest anything? | 15:08 |
| `Immortal` | hi guys | 15:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | xnv: really... hmmm i dont mind it when it is embedded but in my opinion the gnome has a better feel and look so i like it while xfce4 is big and rough | 15:08 |
| ommegang | IdleOne because the h/w list has 2 listed for the quickcam express logitech and i dunno what the $4.99 one is on geeks.com . | 15:08 |

| triggerhapp | `Immortal`: Why would you want to do that? | 15:10 |
| sherbsauce | When I install Ubuntu, should it automatically supply drivers to anything? | 15:10 |

| Redwing | wols_: AMD Duron 1.2Ghz + 512Mb RAM. On board GFX from Matrox. 40Gb Samsung HDD | 15:11 |
| sherbsauce | Idle0ne - is it less likely to autodetect my hardware and stuff if I have installed it on an empty drive? (I have vista on c:\ and a spare 200gb which i was going to put ubuntu on) | 15:11 |
| triggerhapp | `Immortal`: The problem bieng, its installed into /usr/bin and /etc, sometimes even /usr/share/ etc | 15:11 |
| tonisius | wtf? | 15:11 |
| `Immortal` | k | 15:12 |
| xnv | Kate234: It creates a symbolic link using superuser privileges. Read "man ln" and "man sudo" | 15:12 |
| MrBill | xnv - i'm familiar with top in terms of what it does, and I can see by the system monitor I have on my top panel that my CPU use isn't spiking when this is happening, so I don't think I"d see anything obvious in top. | 15:12 |
| sherbsauce | I'm running on a Toshiba A200 so I'm guessing that I might run into driver problems. | 15:12 |
| triggerhapp | `Immortal`: You could look into using LVM to turn two harddisks into a virtual single disc | 15:12 |
| tonisius | I tink I know what happened... | 15:12 |
| `Immortal` | also i'm planning to upgrade from Onboard video to a discrete video card | 15:12 |
| IdleOne | sherbsauce, try the Live CD before installing and see if everything works well hardware wise. | 15:12 |

| `Immortal` | which Manufacturer has better support for Linux/Ubuntu? | 15:12 |

| brahmana | After having added a keyboard layout for my local language, how do I switch the layout? | 15:13 |
| triggerhapp | `Immortal`: Intel has the best open source drivers, im told, but if you love your graphics, and dont mind using propietary drivers, Nvidia | 15:13 |
| sherbsauce | well i did, things worked well when i ran it off the cd, but now that i have installed it on a seperate drive, when i boot from said drive the resolution is terrible and wont change | 15:13 |
| xnv | MrBill: It could be one particular process is the cause of your difficulty, so killing it might at least prevent the need for the reboot, if not give you more information from which we can help diagnose the problem. | 15:13 |
| tenshinoneko | I have a funny story to tell. My ubuntu ran faster the internet connection of a friend, and he was like amazed cuz his internet connection with windows was always bad like from already 5 years xD | 15:13 |

| hosk | i think i've gotten X11 forwarding to work, but i'm trying to choose a local display to open xnest on, and 0:0 is already taken | 15:15 |
| sylfire | can anyone maybe point me in a direction to look about this xen issue I'm having? | 15:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | IdleOne: i think he/she was just suprised on how ubuntu rans i dont think they deserve a warning | 15:15 |
| idhtns | how do i change this default orange background? (not the desktop picture -- the pale orange that shows during boot. i'm trying other window managers and it shows up all over) | 15:15 |
| Redwing | Any ideas wols? I've already tried all 4 installation discs (Text and Live for both Server and Desktop) they all get stuck when trying to parition the HDD | 15:15 |
| Ax-Ax | hello | 15:16 |
| triggerhapp | idhtns: Go to "login settings" or somesuch, in "local" you will see a colour switching choice.... its orange ;) | 15:16 |
| triggerhapp | idhtns: Thats what you want to hit | 15:16 |
| IdleOne | Pirate_Hunter, the !ot factoid is not really a warning but more of a shove in the right dirtection for idle chat :) but yeah I agree that ubuntu seems to be faster on the net | 15:16 |
| idhtns | triggerhapp: great, thanks | 15:17 |
| frostburn | what's the best way to search thousands of document for two strings that may not necessarily be on the same line in a single command? | 15:17 |

| IdleOne | kibibyte, ask away | 15:17 |
| kibibyte | how to run process as diffrent user from script | 15:17 |
| frostburn | kibibyte, su - | 15:18 |
| rocko | why when i do chmod the permissions don't change? | 15:18 |
| IdleOne | rocko, sudo chmod | 15:18 |
| frostburn | rocko, you don't have permissions to change the permissions | 15:18 |
| wols_ | Redwing: that's all irrelevant. wha chipset? hdd controller, etc | 15:18 |
| rocko | i did sudo chmod | 15:18 |
| rocko | still didn't change | 15:18 |
| wols_ | Redwing: what does fdisk -l on the livecd say? | 15:18 |
| Redwing | wols_: Hmm, now you're asking...Give me 5 minutes while I take the machine apart | 15:18 |
| Redwing | I'll do the fdisk first as it will be quicker, just rebooting | 15:19 |
| Redwing | This isn't a machine I've bought or built. Had it given to me. So I haven't got much knowledge of it's internals just yet | 15:20 |
| nedwell | What is the recommended way for sharing files between two Ubuntu computers via a network? 'shares-admin' isn't working for me. | 15:20 |
| guntbert | rocko: use chmod -v, so it will be verbose and tell you what it is (not) doing | 15:20 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: through either samba or nfs | 15:20 |
| rocko | sudo chmod 600 authorized_keys2 and nothin is happening | 15:20 |
| rocko | ok let me try | 15:20 |
| nedwell | I've done that on computer 1, but when going to places > network on computer 2 I can't see anything at all. | 15:21 |
| rocko | mode of `authorized_keys2' retained as 0600 (rw-------) | 15:21 |

| Ax-Ax | i accidentally did chmod my whole filesystem to something, and after that everything broke. there was a "can't cd to /home/axel" error on start, and everything complained about bad permissions, dbus didn't load and so on. is there any list or recomendations or something of what the permissions should be like? | 15:21 |
| alraune | Redwing:can u boot a live cd ? | 15:22 |
| guntbert | rocko: so if you want permissions, that are already set - what should it do :-) | 15:22 |
| deep_blue | can ubuntu be installed in a pc where there is only usb flash drive, no HD,CD/DVD, etc.? | 15:22 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: try smb://ipaddressofsambaserver | 15:22 |
| Redwing | alraune: It's booting just now. It's only a 1.2Ghz so takes a while, bear with me ;) | 15:22 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: and see what it shows up | 15:22 |
| Ziroday | deep_blue: yes | 15:23 |
| snarkster | i need a solution to remove all kde 3.5.9 and kde 4.1 and gnome stuff from my computer. | 15:23 |
| === vilhelm is now known as vilhelm_ | ||
| snarkster | i would like to restart the install of kde 4.1 from the ppa site | 15:23 |
| alraune | Redwing:cool, sitting on a different machine is always good for troubleshooting... | 15:23 |
| Ax-Ax | :( | 15:23 |
| rocko | guntbert: how come when i do ls -l it says 670 | 15:23 |
| deep_blue | Ziroday: wow.........i've only started using ubuntu yesterday.....played it with 2/3 hours and I'm in love with it | 15:23 |
| teo_dim | hi | 15:23 |
| alraune | lo | 15:23 |
| nedwell | ziroday: where do I type that? I tried FireFox, but it asked me to save a file '2' (i think that's wrong?) | 15:23 |
| snarkster | deep_blue: most people are | 15:24 |
| === vilhelm_ is now known as vilhelm | ||
| ganymede | how can i tell what version of a package is available in the repos? i looked on packages.ubuntu.com for kde4 and the version for the metapackage is 3.3, but there is no such version of kde4 | 15:24 |
| Ziroday | snarkster: add the ppa repos, and kde4.1 will update automatically | 15:24 |
| === vilhelm is now known as vilhelm_ | ||
| Ziroday | nedwell: in nautilus (the file managers) address bar | 15:24 |
| snarkster | Ziroday: I already have the stuff installed and te repos are already added.. but there are things that arent working so I wanted to start over again | 15:24 |
| Redwing | alraune, wols_: Live CD waiting for it to load the terminal | 15:24 |
| MikeSeth | tonisius: so? did it work? | 15:24 |
| Redwing | Live CD booted* | 15:24 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: if you dont see it press the icon to the left with pen on the paper | 15:24 |
| bytecode | deep_blue, snarkster : I'd like to confess that I'm an "unbuntu lover" | 15:25 |
| kuroryuu | snarkster: sudo apt-get remove kdelibs kdelibs5 libgnome2-0 && sudo apt-get autoremove should do it | 15:25 |
| alraune | Redwing:sitting on live now ? | 15:25 |
| Ziroday | snarkster: so you want to reinstall? | 15:25 |
| Redwing | yup | 15:25 |
| guntbert | rocko: I dont see numerical permissions with ls -l | 15:25 |
| bytecode | deep_blue, snarkster: but then, I have been for the last few years :-D byte <3 *bunty. | 15:25 |
| nedwell | ziroday: oh! ok. i tried it. the gnome foot's toes keep moving and then they stop after ten seconds(?) and nothing is there. | 15:25 |
| deep_blue | one more thing.......can usb flash drive (pendrive) works similarly as HD, I mean in the Live CD if I make any changes and the next time when I start my pc everything gets back to scratch as nothing has happened? | 15:25 |
| pos69sum | i use an /etc/hosts entry to fool my server into thinking that a host at one ip ihas a different hostname | 15:25 |
| MikeSeth | guntbert: then there's a wrong alias in your shell | 15:25 |
| Redwing | alraune: it's thrashing my drive like mad. I imagine because of the lack of RAM | 15:26 |
| alraune | Redwing:Terminal: sudo -i ,become root | 15:26 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: are you sure you have setup samba on the server correctly? | 15:26 |
| pos69sum | this doesn't seem to be woriking on one machine - is there anything else that affects name resolution? | 15:26 |
| guntbert | MikeSeth: its not my problem, trying to help rocko | 15:26 |
| Kartagis | hoşçakalın / bye | 15:26 |
| RainCT | ganymede: look at package kdebase | 15:26 |
| Redwing | done | 15:26 |
| Redwing | Does the Live CD have an IRC Client? | 15:27 |
| alraune | Redwing:Terminal: apt-get install hwinfo && apt-get install pastebinit && hwinfo > pc.txt && pastebinit pc.txt | 15:27 |
| kuroryuu | deep_blue: the problem with having everything on a flashdrive is that they have limited lifetimes if you write to them constantly, better to have another medium to store filesystems that will be more active | 15:27 |
| Ziroday | Redwing: yes, its in pidgin | 15:27 |
| nedwell | ziroday: how can I check? I enabled sharing, it said it had to download files, and then I set up folders to share and they show sharing icons now. | 15:27 |
| rocko | guntbert: i just can't get over this http://paste.ubuntu.com/37158/ | 15:27 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: on the server try smb://localhost in nautilus | 15:28 |
| Ax-Ax | i don't want o be annoying, but i have a very serious problem - is there any overview of recomended permissions for a working filesystem? | 15:28 |
| alraune | Redwing:ups, thought you were in pidgin live, connect first | 15:28 |
| alraune | Redwing:Terminal: you can copy n paste pidgin>terminal | 15:28 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: xev works. But is tedious. | 15:28 |
| nedwell | ziroday: all shares I was expecting to see are visible from localhost. | 15:28 |
| snarkster | ok ill bbl as I have the information i need to remove everything and start over. | 15:28 |
| snarkster | wish me luck | 15:29 |
| triggerhapp | gl | 15:29 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: maybe see documentation for tpb package | 15:29 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: okay, then its likely just the client being finicky | 15:29 |
| RainCT | Ax-Ax: you've done chmod ..... -R / or what? | 15:29 |
| Ziroday | nedwell: is the server on a static or dynamic ip? | 15:29 |
| deep_blue | kuroryuu, will not be using it as constantly in pendrive, but wanted to know if I make any changes will it get saved or not......since in Live CD everytime I start it, it starts from scratch.... | 15:29 |
| nedwell | ziroday: static (192.168.2.2) | 15:29 |
| guntbert | rocko: try stat /home/rocko/.ssh/authorized_keys2 | 15:29 |
| Redwing | I've run the command you gave and it says it couldn't find the package hwinfo | 15:29 |

| alraune | db92: sound mainly (mp3..) works ? | 15:31 |
| triggerhapp | summatusmentis: You installed it in Vmware? | 15:32 |
| nedwell | ziroday: I can ping from client to server and from server to client OK | 15:32 |
| Ax-Ax | prince_jammys: yeah :( | 15:32 |
| triggerhapp | summatusmentis: That generally means it doesnt change the hark disks partitions | 15:32 |
| summatusmentis | triggerhapp: I used VMWare server to install it, onto a partition | 15:32 |
| RainCT | Ax-Ax: that really is a problem then.. reinstalling all packages might help.. for your home directory you could try with 664 (but some directories/files, like for example SSH stuff, weill need different permissions) | 15:32 |
| db92 | alraune, as metnioned, no sound THROUGH FIREFOX :P the rest seem to be working pretty flawlessly | 15:32 |

| MikeSeth | db92: close any other software that uses sound and try again | 15:33 |
| Redwing_LiveCD | wols_: I've run the fdisk -l command like you said and it showed me 3 partitions and ext3 partition, a swap partition and an extended partition | 15:33 |
| summatusmentis | triggerhapp: and there's no CD drive, and I can't boot from USB | 15:33 |
| nedwell | ziroday: on the client or the server? | 15:33 |

| alraune | Redwing_LiveCD: sudo gparted | 15:48 |
| Prose | Ziroday: I can ssh into it perfectly | 15:48 |

| hosk | how can i start an xnest session remotely then start fluxbox on it? | 15:48 |
| RainCT | Sinnerman: oh, you'll have to boot up with a live CD then and use chroot to modify the file from there | 15:49 |
| MikeSeth | Sinnerman: I have a similar problem on ATI x300 with games. Examine the xorg log. Overheating is the prime suspect. | 15:49 |

| Redwing_LiveCD | alraune: That's open now | 15:49 |
| alraune | neonDragon2: check that file | 15:49 |

| neonDragon2 | it's just got comments and exit 0 | 15:49 |
| alraune | Redwing_LiveCD: delete any partitions | 15:49 |
| Sinnerman | RainCT: i have the alternate install cd. :( that still does not tell me _what_ the problem is though, and what im trying to fix. | 15:49 |
| MikeSeth | Sinnerman: in general fglrx isnt very friendly for x series | 15:49 |
| Sinnerman | MikeSeth: it cant be overheating, i have two chassis fans, and a huge fan on the ati card. | 15:50 |
| Ziroday | Prose: to access the cups web interface? | 15:50 |
| Redwing_LiveCD | IT won't let me delete the Extended partition that contains the swap drive | 15:50 |

| Redwing_LiveCD | alraune: IT won't let me delete the Extended partition that contains the swap drive | 15:50 |

| alraune | Redwing_LiveCD: delete any partitions | 15:52 |
| Prose | Ziroday: oh damn me!! I just remembered, I rebooted the thing and I think iptables are screwed | 15:52 |
| Redwing_LiveCD | alraune: I've deleted all the partitions that it will allow me to delete | 15:52 |
| Sinnerman | MikeSeth: i cant get to either, the system freezes or reboots. | 15:52 |
| Ziroday | Prose: possibly | 15:52 |
| alraune | Redwing_LiveCD: maybe gotta hang out swap first (decrease of speed if little ram) | 15:53 |

| Radit | danbhfive, yes; also if i want to play the multimedia file like videos or mp3s using mplayer or rhythmbox it does'nt play; i have to close firefox then open the mplayer or rhytmbox again; the situation is vice versa if i wanna view videos in firefox | 16:26 |
| deep_blue | powergoal2....no partition software.....the partition that i created for windows was using the windows xp bootable cd | 16:26 |
| danbhfive | Radit: yeah, I have the same problem. I think its an issue with the sound system, pulse-audio | 16:26 |
| StoneNewt | betapi: just one tiny little problem with all that you're spouting the E5462 Haripes cost 517 each and you get 2 of them, a board that delivers you the same kind of expansion costs 325, 2GB of sutible ram is 90GBP, sutible psu is about 130, chassis another 150 and oh look you're at 1730 you still need your 2600 XT, a HD etc.. | 16:26 |

| StoneNewt | sorry | 16:26 |
| danbhfive | Radit: don't know the fix though, I've been just living with it | 16:27 |
| powergoal2 | deep_blue: yeah, i don't know if windows ships with a partitioning program. if you load up the ubuntu livecd you can format and repartition using cfdisk /dev/<address> to ext3 or something else permitting space for windows on there | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | fulhack: well for that i guess that you still have to use a full xorg.conf :| | 16:27 |
| deep_blue | what is the easiest option for me to get my pendrive partion....and which format --> FAT32? | 16:27 |
| Radit | danbhfive, so you have the problem too? | 16:27 |
| powergoal2 | deep_blue: at the same time you could just go through the install stuff and then be able to do it through the installer. | 16:27 |
| danbhfive | Radit: yea | 16:27 |
| fulhack | erUSUL: But if I add things in xorg.conf they WILL be used? It just looks so empty.. I was worried there was a different file :) | 16:28 |
| ice_cream | that's what i thought. =P | 16:28 |
| fulhack | For example, when I specify a resolution from within GNOME.. Where is that value stored? | 16:28 |
| powergoal2 | deep_blue: they are good for different things | 16:28 |

| danbhfive | Tooplex: just so you know, 10g is a little small, as long as you don't download large files, whatever, you should be ok. If you stick with ubuntu, you will probably want to make it bigger, and make a separate /home partition too, but that stuff can happen later | 16:45 |

| xif | SeveredCross: OK, checking | 16:47 |

| eblume | Hi. I'm trying to set up a 32 bit chroot for my amd64 system to solve some linking issues. The guide I'm following says to run cdebootstrap -a i386, but I assume that's wrong since I have an amd processor. What 32 bit architecture should I target for amd? | 16:47 |
| SeveredCross | It might require a mail daemon to send mail, though I'm not sure. | 16:47 |
| powergoal2 | sampe1: if you can connect through ssh and whatnot, you should be able to type the IP into nautilus and connect that way | 16:47 |
| SeveredCross | xif: It probably requires a daemon then. | 16:47 |
| danbhfive | Tooplex: I believe so | 16:47 |
| xif | SeveredCross: is there any other way to obtain cron's stderr/stdout then? | 16:47 |
| powergoal2 | sampe1: the alternative is to use a terminal to navigate the other system | 16:48 |
| SeveredCross | eblume: No, that's right. i386 is a generic term for any 386 or better processor. | 16:48 |
| harisund | sampe1: oh ok, I am not really familiar with the website itself, just the mirrors for dowloading and stuff :) I will check it out, thanks | 16:48 |
| gioele | hello | 16:48 |
| xif | I tried syslog, it's not there... | 16:48 |
| Tooplex | danbhfive: But what do you mean by a /home partion? | 16:48 |
| SeveredCross | xif: You can have your script output them both to a file? | 16:48 |
| eblume | SeveredCross, Thanks very much! | 16:48 |
| aestrivex | perhaps this is a stupid question, but i just booted, found that initializing bluetooth was causing the boot process to perpetually hang, so i went into recovery mode, removed the bluetooth script from /etc/init.d/ since i figured i'd never use bluetooth. i have no idea why bluetooth was not initializing properly. for some reason this has caused my USB optical mouse not to function. how do i fix it? | 16:48 |
| Tooplex | danbhfive: what does it do exactly? | 16:48 |
| xif | SeveredCross: yeah, I would have expected it to be logged somewhere... | 16:48 |
| xif | i.e. automatically. | 16:48 |
| gioele | is there a way to import an x.509 certificate system wide so that all the applications of all the users can use it without additional steps? | 16:48 |
| powergoal2 | aestrivex: you don't want to get rid of the script, in order to keep it from booting you want to remove it from your rc level | 16:49 |
| xif | SeveredCross: but thanks, I'll just log them myself. | 16:49 |
| chieffancypants | I can use windows fonts in linux can't I? | 16:50 |
| aestrivex | powergoal2: maybe so, but in booting into recovery mode i didn't have a lot of options and removed the script because i knew that would probably fix the problem. either way thats what i did. | 16:50 |
| danbhfive | Tooplex: well, the short answer is that /home is where all your settings and personal files get stored. If you ever reinstall, everything gets deleted. By putting /home on a separate partition, you can prevent /home from getting deleted, and this when you reinstall, all your files and settings get saved | 16:50 |
| xnv | chieffancypants: http://www.google.com/search?name=f&hl=en&q=I+can+use+windows+fonts+in+linux+can't+I%3F | 16:50 |
| danbhfive | Tooplex: but don't worry about that till you actually tried linux out | 16:50 |
| dinar | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 16:50 |

| dinar | chieffancypants https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 16:51 |
| powergoal2 | aestrivex: you might be able to get the script from the install cd, or maybe find it online. i don't know why this is happening though | 16:51 |
| sampe1 | harisund: when installing ubuntu on a couple of older boxes I found the major limitation was RAM and disk size... if you are bellow 250 meg of ram and don't have enough disk space the install won't go... just remember that just pumping up those two parts doe snot mean you'll have a box worthy of serving media..... xubuntu is trimmed down GUI... I even use ubuntu server that runs without a head for servers... that is a great way to repurpose | 16:51 |
| hosk | i just saw this crazy video where someone used a terminal command to change his desktop background to a playing video file, how did he do that? | 16:52 |

| ncls | hi people, can anyone give me any help getting an external screen to work on a macbook running ubuntu 8.04? | 16:53 |
| sampe1 | powergoal2: the goal is NOT to be stuck in a terminal all the time... I spend enough time in there for stuff... I like sometimes to just click and drag when organizing files... and it doesn't make sense why it would not work. | 16:53 |
| harisund | sampe1: Precisely, repurpose is what I am trying to do ... I guess I will start with a server-install of Ubuntu and work from there | 16:53 |
| Tooplex | So when i go to install ubuntu how do i get it to install to my 10 gb partion? When i went on the 64 bit installer there was like 3 options Whole hard drive, i cant remember second one and manuel | 16:53 |
| Tooplex | i went on the manuel and wanting to install it to the 10gb confused the heck out of me | 16:53 |
| null_byte | hi all.. someone has a solution to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888686 ? please? | 16:54 |
| powergoal2 | sampe1: sorry, im not the one to talk to about it then. i use console only | 16:54 |
| Tooplex | Like it asked me for mount point, and what to format it to | 16:54 |
| Tooplex | thats what i mainly want help with | 16:54 |
| db92 | null_byte, either compromise, or consider asking in wine support chan :\ | 16:54 |
| powergoal2 | Tooplex: the moutpoint you want is / for your root directory | 16:55 |
| null_byte | ok db92:) | 16:55 |
| sampe1 | harisund: if you start with a server install (no GUI mind you)... you can always try various flavours of window managers... if you just need a GUI initialy then try out fluxbox, or XFCE (whihc is what xubuntu uses anyways)... all can be installed via the command line using apt-get from the regular repose... just read the docs in the ubuntu forums. | 16:55 |
| sampe1 | powergoal: thanks. | 16:55 |
| powergoal2 | Tooplex: if you want the whole disk used the select whole disk. the problem with how ubuntu does that (in my opinion) is that it creates a number of partitions that i don't ever see being used. | 16:55 |
| null_byte | db92: it says: invite only channel :| | 16:55 |
| powergoal2 | sampe1: yeah, sorry | 16:55 |
| db92 | null_byte, cant be :\\\ | 16:55 |
| sampe1 | Anyone field some networking file system questions between two ubuntu boxes using a GUI like Nautilus? | 16:55 |
| null_byte | try to join #wine | 16:55 |
| db92 | ffs | 16:56 |
| db92 | the chan is #winehq :\\\\ | 16:56 |
| Tooplex | Powergoal: If i set it to / will that still make it reconise windows on the other partion? | 16:56 |
| null_byte | oh ok | 16:56 |
| null_byte | works :D thanks again db92 | 16:56 |
| Greyhound|NB | what should I install in order to be able to open .rar files? | 16:56 |
| powergoal2 | Tooplex: if you have a windows partition then don't use whole disk, but create the linux partition mount point as / to use it. it won't change anything about windows | 16:56 |
| SNuxoll | Greyhound|NB: ubuntu-restricted-extras will install unrar | 16:57 |
| powergoal2 | Greyhound|NB: i think there is an unrar utility | 16:57 |
| danbhfive | Tooplex: your windows partition should be recognized later on in the install process. setting it to / will just allow ubuntu to install. The format should be ext3 | 16:57 |
| === sampe1 is now known as samper | ||
| RainCT | Greyhound|NB: install unrar-nonfree | 16:57 |
| AdvoWork | how can u tell if a cronjob is currently running? | 16:57 |

| SNuxoll | Greyhound|NB: file-roller is capable of using unrar as a backend, so you can open archives like you normally do | 16:57 |
| powergoal2 | RainCT: can you use !<packagename> to get info on any package in the repos? | 16:57 |
| Tooplex | powergoal12/danbhfive: So doing that wont touch my windows partion at all? | 16:58 |

| SNuxoll | l3x: copy the *CONTENTS* of your home to that partition | 16:59 |
| powergoal2 | bullgard4: you are in a VT not in gnome or kde right? | 16:59 |
| danbhfive | l3x: I had a webpage on it at some point | 17:00 |
| kitche | Tooplex: yes xchat | 17:00 |
| frojnd | What does that mean if I use Legacy driver hardware ? I got thatmesage when I've started elisa. Any thoughts ? | 17:00 |
| kitche | Tooplex: to be more precise xchat-gnome | 17:00 |
| danbhfive | Tooplex: I think there is pidgin actually | 17:00 |
| SNuxoll | l3x: so in the root of that partition you should have folders for all your users, after you are done | 17:00 |
| l3x | SNuxoll: then, i have to change my user /home path to that folder and make it mount as /home right? | 17:00 |
| SNuxoll | l3x: then after that you just need to modify your fstab | 17:00 |
| frojnd | And another question. How can I turn off awn ? | 17:00 |
| SNuxoll | l3x: no, the home path doesn't need to be changed | 17:00 |
| Tooplex | Thought Pidgin is just a msn client? | 17:00 |

| bullgard4 | powergoal2: Ihave been using xev in the past. I would like to run the showkey command. | 17:04 |

| eblume | Hmm. cdebootstrap seems to be failing with at P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt | 17:04 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: then type :wq to save and exit | 17:04 |
| eblume | Does anyone know about that? | 17:04 |
| thesaint4444 | SNuxoll: thats the problem... it doesnt work! I use vim all the time. | 17:04 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: well, to be honest, you don't need to use visudo to edit your sudoers file | 17:05 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: any text editor will work | 17:05 |
| thesaint4444 | SNuxoll: for some strange reason it won't go into insert mode. | 17:05 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: just make sure that you don't have any wonky syntax or your sudo will be fubar'ed | 17:05 |
| powergoal2 | bullgard4: have you tried running it as root? sudo showkey -s ? | 17:05 |
| thesaint4444 | SNuxoll: cool.. thats what I will do then. | 17:05 |
| eblume | Is anyone here familiar with cdebootstrap? | 17:06 |
| xintron_ | How do I check which kernel I'm running? | 17:06 |

| eblume | Is there an alternative to cdebootstrap I can try, since it seems to be hanging? | 17:07 |
| SNuxoll | xintron: uname -r | 17:07 |
| thesaint4444 | SNuxoll: ok, thanks. and I suppose just change the permissions to edit and then change them back again? | 17:08 |
| bullgard4 | powergoal2: 'sudo showkey -s' produces strange results: It scrolls an empty xterm up. Later the prompt appears to the left but the xterm keeps scrolling up. | 17:08 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: no | 17:08 |
| powergoal2 | bullgard4: you are in an xterm? | 17:08 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: sudo vi /etc/sudoers | 17:08 |
| bullgard4 | powergoal2: Yes sir. | 17:08 |
| SNuxoll | thesaint4444: should just work | 17:08 |
| powergoal2 | bullgard4: thats the problem | 17:08 |

You can correct this by stopping all running instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software.." | 17:08 |

| powergoal2 | bullgard4: you have to be in a virtual terminal | 17:08 |
| bullgard4 | powergoal2: xterm is a virtual terminal. | 17:09 |
| powergoal2 | bullgard4: switch to the terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 - f6 and login. then use showkey -s | 17:09 |

| qrush | Sylphid|work: thanks, i'll keep it mind :) | 18:51 |
| slayton | qrush: you say your things are getting "locked up" or laggy? Do you know what program is causing the lag? | 18:51 |
| freeflowcauvery | the RAID configuration page at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto does not exist yet | 18:51 |
| linuxkrn | favro: funny: first links says "This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates." | 18:51 |
| qrush | Sylphid|work: here's another. is there a shortcut for opening a terminal? | 18:51 |
| favro | linuxkrn: wow ! | 18:51 |
| qrush | slayton: No idea. just the entire gnome desktop locks up | 18:51 |
| ubuntu_ | Do I need to export /home/ubuntu/j2re1.4.2_17/bin/ into /bin with "export PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/j2re1.4.2_17/bin" ? and (2) "export PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/j2re1.4.2_17/jawavs" ? And (3) will my OpenOffice recognize such a java engine? | 18:51 |
| linuxkrn | favro: furthermore, the last software raid is out of date (7.10) | 18:51 |
| slayton | right... so if you open htop or top in a terminal you should see which process is consuming the system resources | 18:51 |
| geirha | CRASH69: Local in that context means only connections from the same computer. | 18:52 |
| slayton | qrush, ^^ | 18:52 |
| slayton | qrush, then you can kill that specific process | 18:52 |
| favro | linuxkrn: k - someone needs to work on the links then :) | 18:52 |
| nixnoob | qrush: I prefer sud oapt-get install nautilus-open-terminal it allows you to rightclick anywhere and open a terminal in that directory | 18:52 |
| ennonymous | ubuntu_: it won't hurt, just try it | 18:52 |
| Sylphid|work | qrush, not by default however alt +f2 will open a run dialog box to start a terminal or you can bind a key to start it via system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts | 18:52 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 18:52 |
| CRASH69 | ahhhhh, odd XD, thx geirha! | 18:52 |
| qrush | Sylphid|work: that freezes up too though when gnome-panel does | 18:52 |
| qrush | Sylphid|work: i'll have to bind a key then. | 18:52 |
| Sylphid|work | qrush, and theres alway ctrl + alt + f1-6 for tty's | 18:53 |
| slayton | qrush, how long does the freeze last? | 18:53 |
| geirha | CRASH69: You can still connect from a remote computer though, if you set up an ssh-tunnel. | 18:53 |
| qrush | Sylphid|work: what? ttys? | 18:53 |
| nixnoob | qrush: virtual terminal | 18:53 |
| qrush | slayton: until i reboot. | 18:53 |
| slayton | qrush, tty (terminal) | 18:53 |
| qrush | ctrl + alt + 1..6 isn't doing anything for me | 18:54 |
| slayton | qrush, so when it freezes can you switch to a terminal with AltCtrlF1 | 18:54 |
| Sylphid|work | qrush, its a terminal w/o a gui ... use ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to the gui | 18:54 |
| qrush | Oh. | 18:54 |
| qrush | f | 18:54 |
| MeanderingCode | can anyone tell me where ubuntu starts pulseaudio? It's not with the runlevel scripts, but something user level | 18:54 |
| slayton | qrush, F1-F6 | 18:54 |
| qrush | ohhhh. | 18:54 |
| nixnoob | qrush: F7 brings the gui back | 18:54 |
| qrush | That's cool :) | 18:54 |
| CRASH69 | I will research that later, this will work for now geirha, thx again (I still think it is an odd choice XD) | 18:54 |
| mrpiracy | does anyone know how to stream to a shoutcast server from songbird? | 18:54 |
| slayton | qrush, when you freeze switch to a terminal with CTNL ALT F1, start HTOP and watch the processes... one should be eating 100% CPU or a ton of ram | 18:55 |
| axenory | has anyone solved the WM11 codec thing? | 18:55 |
| qrush | slayton: alrighty. kill -9 time then :) | 18:55 |
| slayton | qrush, then in a terminal you can KILL that process and that should release the freeze up | 18:55 |
| geirha | CRASH69: It's not an odd choice, it's just the wording that should be more specific. ;) | 18:55 |
| qrush | thanks muchly :) | 18:55 |
| slayton | qrush, I would try killall first but if you have to use sudo kill -9 then so be it | 18:55 |
| regebro | Nope, pulsaudio or alsa, makes no difference, Flash will require exclusive use of the sound device to work. | 18:55 |
| freddy_ | i already realized that dual booting makes no sense. | 18:55 |
| regebro | It refuses to make sounds if something else is playing. | 18:56 |
| regebro | It also prevents anything else from playing until I restart firefox. | 18:56 |
| mrpiracy | freddy_, i am multi-booting here ;) | 18:56 |
| freddy_ | it makes no sense, is like having a dick and a vagina | 18:57 |
| regebro | Multimedia on Linux unfortunately sucks. It's the last bastion of Windows for me. Oh how I'd love to get rid of Windows. | 18:57 |
| tavi__ | hy | 18:57 |
| linuxkrn | does anyone know if the 8.04 initramfs supports dmraid hooks? I can't seem to get the kernel/initramfs to see my root partition (grub is working however) | 18:57 |
| rubinboy | i gave up on dual booting | 18:57 |
| alex-weej | regebro: not here. | 18:57 |
| alex-weej | regebro: what sucks? | 18:57 |
| rubinboy | tried to get Vbox to wrok with my Xp partion but no go | 18:57 |
| mrpiracy | freddy_, from DOS 5.0 to Hardy Heron ;) | 18:57 |
| freddy_ | lol | 18:57 |
| regebro | alex-weej: Everything, simply. This is not the right forum for a rant. | 18:57 |
| xanax` | good afternoon | 18:57 |
| hcadmin | i am having a problem with mksquashfs. it simply hangs a fraction of the way through the procedure | 18:57 |
| regebro | alex-weej: Currently I just want to make Flash not block sound. | 18:57 |
| ice_cream | freddy_, why would {what you said} not make sense? | 18:58 |
| tavi__ | how i see in ubuntu what is the name of the network board? | 18:58 |
| freddy_ | dual booting is for the person that doesnt believe in the os he is runnig. | 18:58 |
| alex-weej | regebro: don't confuse "Linux" with Ubuntu Hardy's current default setup. | 18:58 |
| alex-weej | regebro: easy as pie. | 18:58 |
| slayton | tavi__ what do you mean by name? | 18:58 |
| hcadmin | i read some bug reports on launchpad ... | 18:58 |
| tavi__ | and the drivers for upgrading | 18:58 |
| regebro | alex-weej: So, how? | 18:58 |
| nixnoob | xanax`: id like to eat you and 3 of your friends | 18:58 |
| slayton | tavi__, try lspci | 18:58 |
| tavi__ | the mane manufacture | 18:58 |
| hcadmin | it seems to be fixed in debian, but not in ubuntu? | 18:58 |
| freeflowcauvery | Sylphid|work, thanks for the keyboard shortcuts to toggle between bash and back tothe GUI | 18:58 |
| MeanderingCode | pulseaudio? no | 18:58 |
| MeanderingCode | ? | 18:58 |
| slayton | tavi__, or lspci | grep net | 18:58 |
| xanax` | nixnoob : go for it, i'm like linux.. free | 18:58 |
| ubuntu_ | I try to coonect to #offtopic - but it seems-2-b unavailable... What name is right? Or #offtopic on irc.freenode.net ? | 18:58 |
| tavi__ | ok | 18:58 |
| hcadmin | does anyone have a fix for this? | 18:59 |
| regebro | alex-weej: And if it was just "setup" I would be OK with it. It's loads more, but that is a different topic. Or rather, five different topics. | 18:59 |
| Sylphid|work | freeflowcauvery, np | 18:59 |
| tavi__ | ok | 18:59 |
| alex-weej | regebro: it is ONLY flash that is the problem. blame adobe. | 18:59 |
| nixnoob | xanax`: only if mom or dad suffers from depression | 18:59 |
| kitche | ubuntu_: well depends on which offtopic channel you want there is #ubuntu-offtopic among others | 18:59 |
| tavi__ | my internet get down often | 18:59 |
| alex-weej | regebro: but if you want to go back to a gutsy pre-pulseaudio configuration, that's easy | 18:59 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 18:59 |
| tavi__ | and i do not know what to do | 18:59 |
| picca | does ubuntu come with gpm installed by default? | 19:00 |
| alex-weej | regebro: remove the packages "libflashsupport" and "pulseaudio", as a user run "asoundconf unset-pulseaudio", and go to System -> Preferences -> Sound and choose the right ALSA devices | 19:00 |
| alex-weej | picca: no | 19:00 |
| regebro | alex-weej: No, it should simply not be possible to block the sound device like that. So I don't agree it's adobes fault. | 19:00 |
| tavi__ | do you know a program that fix internet conexions on ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| ice_cream | should spend our energies complaining about other things, not one's laziness to "setup" | 19:00 |
| picca | thanks alex-weej | 19:00 |
| alex-weej | regebro: it is adobe's fault. i know more about it than you. | 19:00 |
| slayton | tavi__ contact your isp | 19:00 |
| regebro | alex-weej: OK, I'll try that. | 19:00 |
| rubinboy | any one here know virtualbox well? | 19:00 |
| tavi__ | forget that | 19:00 |
| slayton | tavi__, what kind of connection do you have? | 19:00 |
| mrpiracy | does anyone know how to stream to a SHOUTCAST/ICECAST server from songbird? | 19:00 |
| ice_cream | rubinboy, there's also #vbox | 19:00 |
| tavi__ | broadband | 19:01 |
| tavi__ | 6mb | 19:01 |
| alex-weej | regebro: if you want predictable output latency, you can not use the ALSA DMix layer, so you HAVE to acquire exclusive access. | 19:01 |
| slayton | tavi__, what is the connection into your computer? cable, ethernet? | 19:01 |
| rubinboy | thanks @ ice_cream | 19:01 |
| tavi__ | ethernet | 19:01 |
| metheon | !ethernet | 19:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ethernet | 19:01 |
| metheon | yeah not like its important | 19:01 |
| ice_cream | !interfaces | 19:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about interfaces | 19:01 |
| slayton | tavi__ when your internet goes down it could be a couple of things... 1- the connection from your ISP is down, 2- your Modem is down, 3- your connection to your modem is down, 4- your computer is down | 19:01 |
| alex-weej | regebro: the problem is that with libflashsupport on Flash 9 (required to get it using PulseAudio), Adobe have bad code that causes its own plugin to free memory twice when destructing the plugin so it dies. | 19:02 |
| slayton | tavi__, next time it goes down open a terminal and type: ifconfig | 19:02 |
| DM| | I am trying to compress a 5.5 gig folder so i can move it to a fat32 partition. I keep using tar to compress it, but it gives me an error 2 gigs in and exits. | 19:02 |
| ice_cream | !commands > ice_cream | 19:02 |
| ubottu | ice_cream, please see my private message | 19:02 |
| regebro | alex-weej: So, it's the ALSA dmix layer that sucks. There is no reason you should need excluseive access to have predictable latency. | 19:02 |
| alex-weej | regebro: Flash 10 does not require libflashsupport to work with PulseAudio, but it has its own set of crashers | 19:02 |
| slayton | tavi__, if you have an IP address then it isn't the connection from your computer to your modem that is the problem it is something from the modem on | 19:02 |
| deeperror | DM|, how are you using tar to compress? | 19:02 |
| regebro | alex-weej: That is not the problem I have. | 19:02 |
| slayton | tavi__, then all you can do is reset your modem or contact your isp | 19:02 |
| Daze1 | I got ubuntu to recognize my extra mouse buttons but they still dont work in my virtual box... any ideas? | 19:02 |
| alex-weej | regebro: exactly -- that's what PulseAudio gives you, predictable latency with multiple channel mixing | 19:02 |
| tavi__ | from sistem administration netwrork when i setted one day ago dhcp was working | 19:03 |
| slayton | tavi__, but if your computer is having problems staying connected to the modem then the problem is something that you can fix | 19:03 |
| regebro | alex-weej: Great. | 19:03 |
| DM| | deeperror tar -cf | 19:03 |
| tavi__ | man when i had have windows all was good | 19:03 |
| nixnoob | haha | 19:03 |
| manuel__ | uola | 19:03 |
| deeperror | DM|, that isn't compressing the file at all...how much hdd space do you have? | 19:03 |
| deeperror | DM|, df -h | 19:04 |
| tavi__ | is the 3 day when internet fall on ubuntu | 19:04 |
| DM| | deeperror aH! thats the problem | 19:04 |
| DM| | deeperror wow i cant believe i over looked it | 19:04 |
| deeperror | DM|, use gzip to compress | 19:04 |
| DM| | deeperror how so via command line? | 19:05 |
| regebro | alex-weej: So, when you say "choose the correct ALSA devices" it measn I shouldn't use autodetect, but select the ALSA stuff? | 19:05 |
| cjohnson_ | Is it possible to do mouse gestures in Ubuntu? Meaning, right click, drag certain directions, and it does something? Like firefox has in the gestures plugin? | 19:05 |
| alex-weej | regebro: you can use autodetect if that works for you | 19:05 |
| ice_cream | how would i go about adding/changing some switch or option on a built-in command (e.g. add an -F option to apt-cache) | 19:05 |
| deeperror | DM|, maybe -cfz | 19:05 |
| slayton | tavi__, get the model of your ethernet adapter then google for you model + ubuntu and see what comes up, chances are someone else has already solved this problem... the answer is probably there in google | 19:05 |
| deeperror | DM|, -cfZ | 19:06 |
| alex-weej | regebro: you have to remove pulseaudio so that dmix can be used. DMix does mixing just like PulseAudio, except Flash works with it. | 19:06 |
| axenory | has anyone solved the WM11 codec thing? | 19:06 |
| tavi__ | ok | 19:06 |
| alex-weej | axenory: Windows Media 11? | 19:06 |
| alex-weej | axenory: what are you trying to play? | 19:06 |
| regebro | alex-weej: OK, I see. Trying out... | 19:06 |
| tavi__ | i have dinamic ip | 19:06 |
| alex-weej | cjohnson_: there is a compiz plugin for gestures | 19:07 |
| slayton | tavi__, that doesn't matter | 19:07 |
| alex-weej | cjohnson_: do you know how to configure Compiz? | 19:07 |
| cjohnson_ | alex-weej, I do | 19:07 |
| force | hi all, does anyone know how I can make my current ubuntu persistant (for a party), so every change (eg new files etc) is "forgotten" after a reboot? | 19:07 |
| cjohnson_ | alex-weej, but as far as I can tell, that's just for the screen edges to activate things isn't it? | 19:07 |
| tavi__ | ok | 19:07 |
| cemunal | hi | 19:07 |
| magicrobotmonkey | hi, im trying to use an external monitor instead of my laptop screen and i can't get hardy to change the resolution | 19:07 |
| magicrobotmonkey | using the gui or xrandr | 19:07 |
| hwilde | magicrobotmonkey, how did you get it to export the display | 19:07 |
| axenory | alex-weej, a song and it says that it cannot be played because codecs that arent installed yet .. but it doenst look foward for them .... so I played around and figured out that was a new WM11 codec that wasnt available for ubuntu yet.. | 19:07 |
| deeperror | force, can you put it into read only mode? | 19:07 |
| alex-weej | cjohnson_: not sure, i've just seen a gestures plugin knocking around... | 19:07 |
| slayton | magicrobotmonkey, are you using nvida? | 19:07 |
| alex-weej | axenory: probably has DRM? | 19:08 |
| mrpiracy | does anyone know of a cool dock i could use here? something like kiba-dock or awn? | 19:08 |
| slayton | magicrobotmonkey, if you are install nvidia-settings to change your screen resolution | 19:08 |
| force | deeperror, how can I do this? | 19:08 |
| alex-weej | mrpiracy: awn. :P | 19:08 |
| axenory | alex-weej, what is it | 19:08 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| mrpiracy | alex-weej, i tried awn, but it is kinda limited | 19:08 |
| alex-weej | !drm > axenory | 19:08 |
| ubottu | axenory, please see my private message | 19:08 |
| regebro | alex-weej: OK, no luck yet, will try some more setting later. Thanks for the help. | 19:08 |
| theBrettman | does the installer automatically reboot your computer after it's done? cause I wasn't looking while it was installing and now my screen is black! | 19:08 |
| magicrobotmonkey | slayton: nope its an intel 950 gma or whatever | 19:08 |
| alex-weej | regebro: run "killall pulseaudio" | 19:09 |
| DM| | deeperror when i try to cp a file, it just says omitting file but does not copy it, any ideas? | 19:09 |
| mrpiracy | alex-weej, i cant move it and its kinda buggy on hardy x64 | 19:09 |
| alex-weej | regebro: stick around for 1 minute i will point you at a launchpad ticket | 19:09 |
| slayton | magicrobotmonkey, well can't help you there then | 19:09 |
| regebro | ok | 19:09 |
| linuxkrn | sigh, doesn't anyone know about the default initramfs and dmraid? Been asking for hours now | 19:09 |
| deeperror | force, not really sure...could try to remaster a live cd of your existing configuration that would be fun | 19:09 |
| regebro | alex-weej: OK, the killall did it! | 19:10 |
| deeperror | DM|, is it the disk space issue again? | 19:10 |
| regebro | Thanks! | 19:10 |
| DM| | deeperror nope, 95g avail now. | 19:10 |
| GleepGlop | deeperror: how do you do that? | 19:10 |
| ntesla | was sounded, immediately dashed off again, returning to the labour and sacrifices made | 19:10 |
| force | deeperror, hm, yeah that would be a way | 19:10 |
| kitche | !initramfs > linuxkrn if your wondering just rebuild the initrd yourself if your not getting an anwser | 19:10 |
| ubottu | linuxkrn, please see my private message | 19:10 |
| alex-weej | regebro: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/198453 might be interesting to you | 19:10 |
| deeperror | GleepGlop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch | 19:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 198453 in pulseaudio "Default ALSA device must use PulseAudio, otherwise ALSA applications may fail" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 19:11 |
| linuxkrn | kitche: <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initramfs | 19:11 |
| GleepGlop | ty deeperror | 19:11 |
| ntesla | deeperror, of which filled me with the whole is thickly sprinkled | 19:11 |
| axenory | alex-weej, hehehe are you playing with me:P ubottu is saying that he doesnt know anything about that | 19:11 |
| deeperror | ntesla, ? | 19:11 |
| linuxkrn | kitche: problem is the how-to is for 6 and 7.10, nothing about 8.04 | 19:11 |

| axenory | !drm | 19:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drm | 19:11 |
| alex-weej | axenory: lol, fail. | 19:11 |
| axenory | alex-weej, lol | 19:11 |
| deeperror | DM|, not sure on that maybe a pastebin of what you see? | 19:11 |
| kitche | linuxkrn: not much is different between the versions really so it does work | 19:11 |
| force | deeperror, I just thought there would be another way....but I will try this...hopefully it is not too slow ;) | 19:12 |
| force | thx ^^ | 19:12 |
| theBrettman | when gutsy is done installing does it reboot automatically? | 19:12 |
| GleepGlop | drm, funny on so many levels | 19:12 |
| slayton | exit | 19:12 |
| DM| | deeperror cp: omitting directory `Windows XP Pro' | 19:12 |
| axenory | alex-weej, so miss spelled or wrong solution? | 19:12 |
| alex-weej | axenory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management | 19:12 |
| deeperror | force, could maybe just setup another user account and copy your home directory to that new account? | 19:12 |
| force | deeperror, hm...I don't know...it would be still possible to read my "normal" home.dir, wouldnt it? | 19:13 |
| deeperror | DM|, maybe cp -rf | 19:13 |
| eblume | Hi. I'm trying to set up a chroot environment for a 32 bit system. I'm mostly set, but I keep getting errors about locales. | 19:14 |
| eblume | I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure locales | 19:14 |
| deeperror | force, not if they are logging in under a different account | 19:14 |
| dmi3on | http://www.petitiononline.com/557799/petition.html | 19:14 |

| Basim | guys i have ubuntu 7.10 cd | 19:14 |
| axenory | alex-weej, but this is no solution right? | 19:14 |
| deeperror | force, just setup a party account and set it up the way you want then login with your other account after everyone leaves ha | 19:14 |
| Basim | and it freez and hang when i start it | 19:15 |
| alex-weej | axenory: no, just information about it | 19:15 |
| theBrettman | when gutsy is done installing does it reboot automatically? | 19:15 |
| alex-weej | axenory: Windows Media is generally Bad News | 19:15 |
| ntesla | a bad fall i sustained by jumping with an enormous train and attendants | 19:15 |
| alex-weej | theBrettman: the Live CD installer will ask you and wait | 19:15 |
| hwilde | theBrettman, it will prompt you if it needs to reboot | 19:15 |
| moshe | basin,did you do an md5sum on the disk? sounds like a bad disk | 19:16 |
| force | deeperror, I added a restricted user a few minutes ago and I was just able to read my whole home-folder - would it be bad if I change the chmod of my home folder? | 19:16 |
| theBrettman | if it did reboot, is there a key combo to exit X? | 19:16 |
| rubinboy | using rw cd's are dodge some times it just doesnt boot correctly | 19:16 |
| Basim | why my cd dosnt start? | 19:16 |
| rubinboy | @force to what? | 19:16 |
| eblume | Basim, please see moshe's advice. | 19:16 |
| GleepGlop | theBrettman: ctrl+alt+backspace will stop X | 19:16 |
| axenory | alex-weej, if thats true I will be so f***, omg! so there are some music I ll never be able to listen to.. isthat waht you are telling me? | 19:16 |

| Guest27531 | Hi. Can any one help me. I'm kinda new to linux. installed ubuntu and trying to connect to my wireless network. It said i'm connected and got an ip. but cant ping router and got no internet ???? | 20:07 |
| mrpiracy | deeperror, ok, thx, gonna give it a try | 20:07 |
| andresmh | ikonia: that sounds more reasoable, especially since the installer CD is only ~700MB | 20:07 |
| Gnea | andresmh: no way, that's too much.. unless you install every last possible package for it | 20:07 |
| mn | sorry, my internet screwed up. what ubuntu variant was recommended to me? | 20:07 |
| ntesla | ever since that time i have the palaces and pyramids, the function of a kind | 20:07 |

| beli | deeperror: hmm ok, can i encrypt system partitions with it? | 20:07 |
| ikonia | andresmh: keep in mind the cd is installed on a compressed file system called squash fs | 20:07 |

| ubottu | milan: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:08 |
| UbuntuUser555 | TaoTeShaun: im back, how did it go? | 20:08 |
| ikonia | juro: make an initscript | 20:08 |
| Flannel | !session | juro | 20:08 |
| ubottu | juro: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 20:08 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: For example, I have a twenty gig partition and after installing everything I need, I'm only using three and a half. | 20:08 |
| andresmh | so how should i go about setting things up? i am currently on vista. i tested the live cd and most stuff works... but I'm afraid running the installation from the CD might screw up my master boot sector or something like that | 20:08 |
| ikonia | juro: or put them in your .gnome session file | 20:08 |
| milan | thank you | 20:08 |
| ntesla | and make improvements, and a number of the first with | 20:08 |
| Gnea | ikonia: ah, didn't see that right away.. lag and sudden jump | 20:09 |
| juro | ikonia: thank you | 20:09 |
| ikonia | Gnea: not a problem | 20:09 |
| babo | all the files have disappeared from my Desktop. The files are definitely there, i can see them in the file manager. I've done a "killall gnome-panel" but that doesn't fix it. | 20:09 |
| babo | what's up with my desktop ? | 20:09 |
| babo | all views ... | 20:09 |
| ntesla | the views of life and death | 20:09 |
| hal_v2 | So I think I still have windows installed on this computer, how do I check and/or remove it? | 20:10 |
| Slart | babo: the gnome-panel doesn't manage the files on your desktop.. I think nautilus does that | 20:10 |
| ntesla | who does not believe him | 20:10 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: ACTUALLY, it works best to install Ubuntu after Windows. By default, grub will install itself and automatically detect/integrate your Vista partition. | 20:10 |
| GleepGlop | so gnome cannot connect to samba shares anymore for some reason | 20:10 |
| trippss | what's a good irc channel for tcp related questions, e.g., routing, etc.? | 20:10 |
| Gnea | babo: try ctrl-alt-backspace to restart | 20:10 |
| Tironos_Drii | can ubuntu MID run on the iphone? | 20:10 |
| Gnea | trippss: #networking | 20:10 |
| ntesla | and run away he would flap his huge wings in glee | 20:10 |
| trippss | Gnea, thanks | 20:11 |
| hal_v2 | Anyone...anyone at all? | 20:11 |
| Gnea | !anyone | hal_v2 | 20:11 |
| ubottu | hal_v2: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 20:11 |
| andresmh | bobertdos: that's great. thanks. What about creating a separate partition for my docs? Would you recommend doing that during the repartitioning done by the Ubuntu installer? | 20:11 |
| hal_v2 | Anyone...anyone at all? | 20:11 |
| hal_v2 | Anyone...anyone at all? | 20:11 |
| hal_v2 | Anyone...anyone at all? | 20:11 |
| babo | if i wanted to install ubuntu on a windows system, but i didn't want to lose the windows files ? | 20:11 |
| Gnea | !repeat | hal_v2 | 20:11 |
| ubottu | hal_v2: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 20:11 |
| hal_v2 | lol | 20:11 |
| ikonia | babo: I don't advise that at all | 20:11 |
| Gnea | !abuse > hal_v2 | 20:11 |
| ubottu | hal_v2, please see my private message | 20:11 |
| babo | ikonia: really ? what about a dual boot then ? | 20:12 |
| Slart | hal_v2: wow.. that's a good way to get help.. be really annoying.. yes.. I feel it now.. I want to spend my time answering your questions.. | 20:12 |
| ikonia | babo: dual boot on seperate partitions is fine | 20:12 |
| force | hi all, does anyone know, how I can dsiable alt+tab and alt+esc ? | 20:12 |
| hal_v2 | Stop taking yourself so seriously. | 20:12 |
| hal_v2 | lol | 20:12 |
| babo | ikonia: an ubuntu install will wipe the disk ? i guess that makes sense ... | 20:12 |
| hal_v2 | So I think I still have windows installed on this computer, how do I check and/or remove it? | 20:12 |
| hkittysmoothie | Is there a way to set firefox to use a proxy server only when visiting specific websites? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | babo: no it won't | 20:12 |
| cjohnson_ | hal_v2, do you have an ntfs partition on your computer? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | babo: you can set ubuntu to create partitions/file systems and install to where ever you want | 20:13 |
| * Gnea goes back to work | 20:13 | |
| hal_v2 | I'm not sure. | 20:13 |
| babo | ikonia: but the file tables will be lost ... | 20:13 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: Yeah, you can certainly feel free to do that if you wish. If you want to do it later, you can have gparted do it. In the meantime, because Vista is too much of a pain in the but to freshly reinstall, I also recommend letting Ubuntu resize your current partition. | 20:13 |
| ikonia | babo: no | 20:13 |
| cjohnson_ | hal_v2, type this in a terminal "sudo fdisk -l" | 20:13 |
| babo | ikonia: well why wouldn't you advise it then ? | 20:13 |
| ntesla | a terminal of less than 90 feet in diameter | 20:13 |
| andresmh | bobertdos: thanks! | 20:13 |
| andresmh | i'll do that | 20:13 |
| babo | ikonia: will ubuntu repartition a windows harddrive ? | 20:13 |
| andresmh | I got a thinkpad x300 with Dual 2 Core, should I install Ubuntu 64 or 32 bits? For some reason the Vista that came with it is 32-bit | 20:13 |
| crdlb | force: with metacity, you can do it in gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybindings | 20:13 |
| ikonia | babo: because on a windows file system is a non-native file system and the potential for issues/corruption is high in my opinion | 20:13 |
| ikonia | babo: if you guide ubuntu it will yes | 20:13 |
| cjohnson_ | hal_v2, on the right it shows a list of your partitions underneath the "System" header | 20:13 |
| cjohnson_ | hal_v2, see if any say "ntfs" or "fat" | 20:13 |
| force | crdlb, thanks, I will try it out =) | 20:14 |
| Slart | andresmh: unless you have a really good reason I'd say go with 32-bit | 20:14 |
| ntesla | older reason asserts itself and we formed a psychological society for the first report electrified new york city, or what? | 20:14 |
| hal_v2 | I see Linux Extended and Linux swap / Solaris | 20:14 |
| cjohnson_ | hal_v2, that's all? | 20:14 |
| RageMachine | anyone run grub2? | 20:14 |
| hal_v2 | Yes. | 20:14 |
| ntesla | i may say, is accurately proportioned to fit the globe if necessary, with inexhaustible resources and immense population thoroughly imbued | 20:14 |
| cjohnson_ | hal_v2, if so, you have no windows on your machine, congratulations :D | 20:14 |
| hal_v2 | YAY! Free of the plague! | 20:14 |
| babo | ikonia: the ubuntu disk will repartition a windows drive successfully before install allowing a successful dual-boot arrangement ? | 20:14 |
| andresmh | Slart: I've heard 64-bit is better at power management, which seems important for a laptop... | 20:14 |
| ntesla | remains today seems like a calamity | 20:14 |
| ikonia | babo: if you guide it to it will | 20:14 |
| ikonia | andresmh: you heard wrong on that | 20:15 |
| cjohnson_ | !ot | ntesla | 20:15 |

| babo | ikonia: is dual-booting easy ? | 20:15 |
| cjohnson_ | !bot | 20:15 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 20:15 |
| ikonia | babo: if you read the text on screen and think about what your doing, it's very easy | 20:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | why is my transfer of files to my windows partition all of a sudden so slow, its like transferring at 2.0Mb/sec :/... ? | 20:15 |
| GleepGlop | why will gnome not connect to smb shares but cli will? | 20:15 |
| cppmonkey | Hi Im trying to use ALSA with wine and I need a way to select the SB rather than the HDMI interface, can only one help? | 20:15 |
| Slart | andresmh: hmm.. I don't think 64bit is better at anything but raw calculations .. and handling more memory | 20:15 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: If you know you've got a 64-bit board, it's your decision. Certain things like Flash and Java can give you big headaches in 64-bit Ubuntu, but other than that, it works pretty darn well. | 20:15 |
| babo | ikonia, ubuntu live will give me the option of setting up a dual-boot ? since when ? | 20:15 |
| cjohnson_ | babo, don't select guided partitioning during that step | 20:15 |
| ikonia | babo: how many times "yes" if you pay attention to whats on screen and answer the questions your asked it will do it fine | 20:16 |
| Tironos_Drii | can ubuntu MID run on the iphone? | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Tironos_Drii: mid ? | 20:16 |
| cjohnson_ | babo, instead, resize your current partition and choose the new empty space to write to | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Tironos_Drii: as in a midi file ? | 20:16 |
| babo | ikonia: since when does ubuntu offer a Q&A to dualbooting though ? | 20:16 |
| force | crdlb, it works, thanks!!! | 20:16 |
| cjohnson_ | babo, or however you want it set up | 20:16 |
| force | =) | 20:16 |
| cjohnson_ | !dualboot | babo | 20:16 |
| ubottu | babo: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 20:16 |
| andresmh | Slart, bobertdos, ikonia: interesting. I do have 4GB of memory. Will Ubuntu 32-bit recognize the 4GB? | 20:16 |
| ikonia | babo: don't be silly, it asks you things like "do you want to wipe the whole disk" - obviously if you say "yes" you won't be dual booting | 20:16 |
| Tironos_Drii | http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile | 20:16 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: No it will not. | 20:16 |
| Slart | andresmh: not all of it.. you'll be able to use something like 3.5 GB | 20:17 |
| ikonia | Tironos_Drii: I dont believe so | 20:17 |
| Tironos_Drii | :< | 20:17 |
| ikonia | andresmh: it will with PAE extensions | 20:17 |
| Slart | andresmh: considering you've got 4GB of memory I'd say install the 64-bit version | 20:17 |
| andresmh | it's interesting that Vista 32bit does recognize the 4GB | 20:17 |
| babo | ikonia: right. but at some stage the boot loader is going to have to be edited no ? or is that taken care of ? I'm just trying to gauge the complexity here cause it's my mates computer. My laptop is dual-boot but i set it up a few years ago and as i remember it wasn't a trivial task ... | 20:17 |
| andresmh | maybe it's lying | 20:17 |
| Slart | ikonia: does PAE come with any regular consumer computers? | 20:18 |
| hkittysmoothie | Is there a way to set firefox to use a proxy server only when visiting specific websites? | 20:18 |
| Alemanne86 | anybody knows the freeze problem of ubuntu 8.04 ? | 20:18 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: or maybe you do have 64-bit Vista and the labels on the system are wrong :D | 20:18 |
| ikonia | babo: if you read the screens it will tell you when / if it's updating the boot loader as the boot loader will be replaced from windows to the "grub" boot loader | 20:18 |
| === milos_ is now known as Kaurin | ||
| ikonia | Slart: I believe on most recent boards it will be available. | 20:18 |
| babo | Alemanne86, it's a penguin, it's meant to freeze every now and again ... | 20:18 |
| deeperror | hkittysmoothie, don't think so what are you trying to do? | 20:18 |
| andresmh | bobertdos: hehe. i'm reading it on the system info utility "32-bit operating system" | 20:19 |
| babo | ikonia, since when did the dual-boot option become so easy on Ubuntu Live ? | 20:19 |
| Slart | ikonia: hmm.. wikipedia had some good info on it.. seems it should be supported on almost everything these days.. | 20:19 |
| ikonia | babo: always been that way | 20:19 |
| hkittysmoothie | deeperror, I want to access my wordpress server, but I can't use "localhost" and putting my external IP redirects me to my LAN configuration page | 20:19 |
| babo | hmm | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Slart: exactly, pretty much | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Slart: but your right the odd one won't have it | 20:19 |
| bobertdos | andresmh: Okay, odd, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. Go with 64-bit Ubuntu. | 20:19 |
| Alemanne86 | thx | 20:20 |
| deeperror | hkittysmoothie, how about updating hosts? | 20:20 |
| hkittysmoothie | deeperror, what do you mean? | 20:20 |
| changke | skype start automatically on startup but doesn't appear in the startup list when I go system->preferences->sessions? how to stop it starting? | 20:20 |
| deeperror | hkittysmoothie, what is the ip of the wordpress server? add that to /etc/hosts along with the domain that you want to point to that address | 20:21 |
| hkittysmoothie | deeperror, how should I format it? | 20:22 |
| bobertdos | changke: Maybe Ubuntu was set to remember sessions and it remembered Skype running from a previous session.......... | 20:22 |
| khaije1 | anyone know if webmin supports iscsi target mgmt? | 20:22 |
| ikonia | khaije1: webmin is not supported or an ubuntu product | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Kaurin: therefore it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 20:22 |
| _2 | i still need/want to get my broken "su" working, any help here ? | 20:22 |
| Kaurin | eh? :) | 20:22 |
| ikonia | _2: what's up | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Kaurin: webmin is not made by ubuntu - nor is it in the ubuntu repos/supported by the ubuntu community | 20:23 |
| _2 | ikonia su is still broken on the pindrive | 20:23 |
| hkittysmoothie | deeperror, nevermind my last question, I added it to /etc/hosts, now what? | 20:23 |
| ikonia | _2: what's the issue though | 20:23 |
| Kaurin | ikonia: i dident ask... khaije1 did i think :D | 20:23 |
| Chelsey | fgsfds | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Kaurin: apologies, didn't see the difference | 20:23 |
| _2 | ikonia i think we talked yesterday su: permission denied! | 20:23 |
| Kaurin | hahah its ok :P | 20:23 |
| Phipho | khaijel : did you know how to setting usb cdma modem on ubuntu | 20:23 |
| ikonia | _2: don't think we did | 20:24 |
| Kaurin | nice talking to ya, later | 20:24 |
| _2 | ikonia and perms on /bin/su are 4755 | 20:24 |
| bobertdos | !sudo | _2 | 20:24 |
| ubottu | _2: 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) | 20:24 |
| GleepGlop | i would only use webmin locally if at all | 20:24 |
| ikonia | _2: what's up with that | 20:24 |
| _2 | bobertdos thank you for the heads up if i need that i'll remember it. | 20:24 |

| khaije1 | Phipho: there is bitpim, aside from that whatever ppp app you like | 20:25 |
| _2 | ikonia yes i know. that's just the default next question, what are the perms on /bin/su i was anticipating | 20:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | could anyone explain to me why would my file transfer to another partition be so slow, its like transferring at 2.0Mb/sec? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | _2: ooh, no, I'm waiting for you to tell me tbe problem | 20:26 |
| ratpoison | hello! is there anyway to learn my ip from bash? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | ratpoison: ip addr | 20:26 |
| ratpoison | (not the lan ip) | 20:26 |
| khaije1 | Phipho: they often need root access to open the /dev/ttyACM device though so be mindful of that | 20:26 |
| ikonia | ratpoison: ifconfig | 20:26 |
| Carpe|Diem | Slart, yes, like using the link command in shell | 20:26 |
| ikonia | ratpoison: well, what ip then | 20:26 |
| _2 | ikonia i did. su: permission denied! <<< | 20:26 |

| ikonia | ratpoison: thats handled by your router | 20:27 |
| ikonia | ratpoison: your ip address is what's on ubuntu, the router does the rest | 20:27 |
| ratpoison | yeah, but I do have a widget that can show me that | 20:27 |

| eblume | Hi. Is there a way to install a second version of Ubuntu (32 bit & 64 bit) without needing to burn a disc? I've already got a 64 bit installation and I want a 32 bit clean environment (not chroot) as well, and I'd love to avoid having to burn a disc. | 20:31 |
| _2 | ikonia just one path all others are libs without paths | 20:31 |
| GleepGlop | ratpoison: np, i had to use that with afraid.org to change/update my dynamic ip | 20:31 |
| lenswipe | Slart: No | 20:31 |
| changke | ] /ignore | 20:31 |
| ikonia | _2: I think thats the problem | 20:32 |
| lenswipe | Slart: i want to write to /var/www with a windows machine using samba | 20:32 |
| burhan | eblume: run it in a virtual machine. | 20:32 |
| Phipo | khaijel : but that's usb no detected, it just have bus and device no. if i "lsusb" no name for a driver | 20:32 |
| ray_ | bobertdos in my trash bin its a dlongrm folder how i put them back were belong i get premition err how i put it back to were be | 20:32 |
| ikonia | _2: I'll pastebin, and tell me what's different | 20:32 |
| MrMist | Hmm... anyone? My synaptics touchpad doesn't work anymore.. "Synaptics Touchpad can't grab event device" | 20:32 |
| ray_ | never did trah bin with sudo in turminal yet | 20:32 |
| ray_ | on 8.04 | 20:32 |
| eblume | burhan, I'd really like to make it a clean environment with a second boot... I'm trying to run proprietary 3d applications in it. | 20:32 |
| _2 | ikonia i'll compair with this system same release | 20:32 |
| lenswipe | Slart: I just to know how someone suggested adding myself to the samba group in users and groups | 20:32 |
| ikonia | _2: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37228/ | 20:32 |
| lenswipe | Slart: But again, im not sure.... | 20:32 |
| ikonia | _2: ignore the 64bit hardcoded path | 20:32 |
| saikyo78 | hi - - is there any way i can get help with running wireless on ubuntu? i am following a guide online, using terminal and am getting hung up at the last step | 20:32 |
| lenswipe | Slart: U got any ideas? | 20:32 |
| _2 | ikonia compairing my own system here nothing differs. | 20:32 |
| ray_ | bobertdos, what i do? | 20:33 |
| changke | would someone help me with my startup programs please? | 20:33 |
| infexion | MrMist: I am not sure why your touch pad does not work... Do you have another mouse connected? | 20:33 |
| killaz | Is there a catalogue collections which can import all avi files in a certain directory so that I can keep a collections of movies. SOmething like GCStart but with an important feature: automatic import movies based on extension for example .avi | 20:33 |
| changke | skype starts automatically on startup but doesn't appear in the startup list when I go system->preferences->sessions? how to stop it starting? | 20:33 |
| ikonia | _2: how can that be, all mine have paths to /lib | 20:33 |
| Guest27531 | Hi. Can any one help me. I connected to my wireless network using nm-applet. router registers connection. but i have no internet and cant ping router. need help | 20:33 |
| ikonia | _2: you said only 1 had a path | 20:33 |
| _2 | ikonia and su works here. and seeing that nothing differs i can pastebin the out. | 20:33 |
| Slart | lenswipe: read the samba docs.. I'm guessing you have a permissions problem.. try !samba for bot-goodness | 20:33 |
| lenswipe | !samba | 20:33 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 20:33 |
| bobertdos | ray_ So, you don't want to delete it, but rather restore it? | 20:33 |
| MrMist | infexion: Yeah, but I've had the mouse attached for quite some time, and the touchpad has always been working | 20:33 |
| _2 | ikonia http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3ae5e459 | 20:33 |
| killaz | automatic import entries based on the .avi files found.. | 20:33 |
| ray_ | bobertdos, yes there drm folder | 20:33 |
| infexion | MrMist: or have you updated your ubuntu kernel? | 20:34 |
| _2 | ikonia that the same on both the working system and the non-working | 20:34 |
| ray_ | getting permition err | 20:34 |
| eblume | Does anyone know of a way to install a second installation of Ubuntu on a machine without having to go to the trouble of burning a CD, etc? | 20:34 |
| ray_ | whebnn try to move it out | 20:34 |
| MrMist | infexion: I have, yes. Should that have anything to say? | 20:34 |
| Guest27531 | Hi. Can any one help me. I connected to my wireless network using nm-applet. router registers connection. but i have no internet and cant ping router. need help | 20:34 |
| ikonia | _2: I need you to walk through (follow paths and smylinks) on all those libs | 20:34 |
| GleepGlop | ratpoison: better external IP bash script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37229/ | 20:34 |
| ikonia | _2: I'll put money that one of those is not there/accessable | 20:34 |
| infexion | Mr.Mist: I know if you update the kernel that it usually wipes a lot of drivers | 20:34 |
| MrMist | infexion: I get a warning in the Xorg log, saying: (WW) Synaptics Touchpad can't grab event device, errno=16 | 20:34 |
| burhan | eblume: you can remote boot it, netinstall, etc -- but its too much of a hassle. Easier to burn a CD, partition your disk, and do it that way. Of course, the easiest it to run a vm. | 20:34 |
| _2 | ikonia ok i'm on it. i'll get back to you. | 20:35 |
| ikonia | _2: no problem | 20:35 |
| Slart | eblume: I'm just guessing here but perhaps you can just copy a working ubuntu install to another drive and try changing the grub-settings.. you might need to change the /etc/fstab too.. and possibly somewhere else too | 20:35 |
| ray_ | bobertdos, what i do? | 20:35 |
| infexion | Mr. Mist See that might be because of the update and possibly an incompatibility | 20:35 |
| Slart | eblume: but I'd go with burning a live cd any day if I had a choice | 20:35 |
| eblume | Slart, that would be perfect except that my current install is 64bit, and I want a clean 32 bit environment. | 20:35 |
| ratpoison | GleepGlop: excellent! say, do you know of any online resource that turns bash noobs into wizards? | 20:35 |
| MrMist | infexion: Hmm... in /dev/input there's no "event16" interface... maybe there's some wrong mapping somewhere | 20:35 |
| ikonia | ratpoison: tldp.org | 20:36 |
| Slart | eblume: hmm.. check out the !pendrive install info.. it might work for regular hard drives too | 20:36 |
| GleepGlop | ratpoison: im a noob, so i dont know. well, im more of a hack | 20:36 |
| Guest27531 | Hi. Can any one help me. I connected to my wireless network using nm-applet. router registers connection. but i have no internet and cant ping router. need help | 20:36 |
| infexion | MrMist: it is a possibility | 20:36 |
| ray_ | bobertdos, still here | 20:36 |
| ratpoison | well if a noob can conjure up a simple bash script in seconds, then what do you call one who can't? :p | 20:36 |
| MrMist | infexion: Any way to "rebind" the event device currently associated with the synaptic driver then ? | 20:36 |
| alraune | !wireless > Guest27531: | 20:37 |
| eblume | Oh also, what's the best way to resize an ext3 partition/ | 20:37 |
| infexion | MrMist: did you check the ubuntu forums for an answer? | 20:37 |
| burhan | Guest27531: can you ping any other host on your net? | 20:37 |
| GleepGlop | ratpoison: this will get you started http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles2/043.html | 20:37 |
| alraune | eblume: gparted | 20:37 |
| infexion | MrMist: I am not sure how to go about that to be honest | 20:37 |
| GleepGlop | peace | 20:37 |
| MrMist | infexion: yeah... can't find any | 20:37 |
| bobertdos | ray_: In the trash directory, you could try: sudo cp -r <directory> <destination> | 20:37 |
| eblume | alraune, thanks! | 20:37 |
| ratpoison | thnx a bunch everyone! see you around! | 20:37 |

| ray_ | want to make sure go in right spot | 20:37 |
| Guest27531 | burhan i did no real awnser. and no i cant ping | 20:38 |

| Qwerty | Im trying to restart ssh but the file /etc/init.d/ssh does not exist so I don't now how to restart it. Any ideas? | 20:38 |
| bobertdos | ray_: I don't really know where they go. I guess it depends on the player you're using. | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Qwerty: is it there ? | 20:38 |
| _2 | ikonia no go man. all present and accounted for links and targets | 20:38 |

| burhan | Guest27531: ifconfig and check if you have an ip | 20:39 |
| zboy417 | slart...why can't Ubuntu access the temp sensors though? (i've tried "acpi -V") | 20:39 |
| Brucee | can someone give a link to a alarm clock for ubuntu hardy? | 20:39 |
| Slart | !sensors | zboy417 | 20:39 |

| _2 | ikonia i was sure hoping you were right too. i have been troubled with this for three days now. | 20:40 |
| ray_ | bobertdos, any idea | 20:40 |
| Slart | zboy417: you might have to setup the sensor software first.. or it might be some other problem. | 20:40 |
| Siph0n | hey, I updated to the 2.6.26.2 kernel, using the master kernel thread on ubuntuforums, and now my audio has scratching noises in the background. Any ideas? | 20:40 |

| zboy417 | ok | 20:40 |
| ikonia | Qwerty: ahh install the openssh-server package | 20:40 |
| bobertdos | ray_: not really, sorry | 20:40 |
| ray_ | any one know in ubuntu 8.04 to put a drm folder | 20:41 |

| ubottu | If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Hardy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 20:41 |

| bobertdos | zboy417: Going back to your original question, one of my guesses would be because of compiz. If you have extra visual effects enabled especially, the graphics card works a lot harder. | 20:42 |
| MacGyverNL | burhan: His wired interface works. He tried it with wired enabled and with wired disabled. | 20:42 |

| zboy417 | hmm....now to figure out how to run lm-sensors | 20:44 |
| fabio | couldn't find it anywhere | 20:44 |
| bobertdos | ray_: In the terminal, type: sudo rm -irf .local/share/Trash/<the directory name> | 20:44 |
| burhan | MacGyverNL: if the wired is working at the same time as the wireless, then it could be that the default route is set to go through the wired. | 20:44 |
| burhan | Phipo: I'm not Indonesian. | 20:44 |
| zboy417 | i used the synaptic package installer...but now how to run it | 20:44 |

So iv downloaded form the samba.org site the version 3.2 .tar, because apt-get upgrade samba dont give me the latest version, so, how do i install a .tar samba package on ubuntu? | 20:47 |

| burhan | Phipo: what is ZTE? | 20:55 |
| ray_ | now what i do | 20:55 |
| mahfiaz | ray_, this should make all these files yours, I thought it was to be permission problem | 20:55 |
| burhan | MacGyverNL: you can always "manually" edit the route, but /etc/init.d/networking restart usually works. | 20:55 |
| Phipo | burhan : the cdma usb modem merk | 20:55 |
| mahfiaz | ray_, paste it into terminal | 20:55 |
| _2 | chaol testdisk | 20:55 |
| ray_ | mahfiaz, yes i want to put the drm folder back were it belong were do i put it | 20:56 |
| ray_ | mahfiaz, i did | 20:56 |
| burhan | Phipo: find me the serial number or manufacturer name. ZTE sounds like a cell phone company. | 20:56 |

| harisund | I have a DHCP server running on Ubuntu, with my private LAN connected to a switch. The switch has 2 wireless access points connected to it. Is there anyway for Ubuntu to detect through which wireless access point a DHCP request is coming in? | 20:57 |
| ray_ | were it belong in ubuntu dont want to del it if need it | 20:57 |
| chao1 | I am running it now and actually ran it several times and It shows me a correct partition table after analyzing it and I tell it to write but upon reboot it still does not work. any ideas what i am doing wrong | 20:57 |
| mahfiaz | ray_, for me rightclick in trash -> restore works | 20:57 |
| ray_ | mahfiaz, dont have that | 20:58 |
| mahfiaz | harisund, run sudo dhclient | 20:58 |
| burhan | harisund: you can check which device is requesting it by the arp header -- I think. | 20:58 |
| ray_ | now what i do | 20:58 |
| luz3r | I am running a domain, my IP updated but I can't connect to my domain now. | 20:58 |
| _2 | chao1 no. no idea. you are running it as root ? and not on a mounted fs | 20:58 |
| paolo | Hi *. I removed the panel above, and now a black screen is left. What is worse is that anytime that I have a window there, it will get "dirty" | 20:58 |
| luz3r | When I ping my domain it shows my old IP. | 20:58 |
| chao1 | correct | 20:58 |
| burhan | luz3r: talk to your DNS provider | 20:58 |
| Phipo | burhan : yup that's like cell phone. but it is CDMA usb modem. it is do not serial number. just type for ZTE MG880 | 20:58 |
| Blaqlight | luz3r, your ip isn't updated in the DNS poole yet, | 20:58 |
| _2 | chao1 those are the only two things that i know of that would/should/could cause that if an fs was mounted or if you didn't have permission (not root) | 20:59 |
| mahfiaz | ray_, ok sorry, i am on intrepid :(, then I am not sure if there is a way to determine, where the file was | 20:59 |
| chao1 | _2: well do you think that since none of the partitions are able to be mounted that that could cause the problem? | 21:00 |
| burhan | mahfiaz: you need to be in #ubuntu+1 | 21:00 |
| ray_ | should i put it in the file system | 21:00 |
| ray_ | ? | 21:00 |
| Phipo | burhan : yup that's like cell phone. but it is CDMA usb modem. it is do not serial number. just type for ZTE MG680 | 21:00 |
| _2 | chao1 no. because testdisk is supposed to rewrite the partition table thus they should all become "mountable" | 21:01 |

| Phipo | burhan : i try it too it is error message | 21:06 |
| _2 | infinite and ? | 21:06 |
| Phipo | burhan : i just can do it to windows system not on ubuntu | 21:06 |

| _2 | bluefox83 :) it's a sujestion that might get screen working for the user in question | 21:14 |
| Phipo | alraune: yes i can use. thats just a usb modem ZTE is not work | 21:15 |
| powergoal | RageMachine: make sure that it is in your PATH. it could be that it is located in /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin | 21:15 |

| RageMachine | powergoal, talking to the wrong person? | 21:15 |
| creatix | join #ubuntu-de | 21:15 |
| mahfiaz | MrMist, sometimes touchpad buttons are at /dev/psaux, while touchpad itself not | 21:15 |
| powergoal | RageMachine: yeah, so that. my bad | 21:15 |
| bluefox83 | Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 775. <--the error | 21:15 |
| _2 | bluefox83 i don't think sudo screen is a good idea. screen then sudo -i within one session. | 21:15 |
| creatix | sry ;) | 21:15 |
| RageMachine | powergoal :P | 21:15 |
| MrMist | mahfiaz: Hmm... know how to fix this then ? | 21:15 |
| trippss | just installed wireshark on hardy but doesn't have (root) version in menu so useless unless I run sudo from terminal. what happened to the root option? | 21:16 |
| mahfiaz | MrMist, fix your /etc/init.d/X11/xorg.conf | 21:16 |
| powergoal | bluefox83: chmod 775 /var/run/screen | 21:16 |
| Slart | trippss: I installed wireshark a short while ago and I got the root menu option | 21:16 |
| burhan | trippss: edit the link and add gksudo to the beginning of the command, this will make it launch with root permissions. | 21:16 |
| mahfiaz | MrMist, I was pointing out, that this is hardware, those touchpad buttons belong to trackpoint-mouse | 21:17 |
| _2 | powergoal is that a known issue ? | 21:17 |
| bluefox83 | powergoal, yeah but every time i ssh into that machine it always makes me do the chmod over again... | 21:17 |

| alraune | Phipo: otherwise, as lsusb doesnt show modem, before try : sudo apt-get install usb-utils | 21:22 |
| mahfiaz | juro, graphic drivers? | 21:22 |
| Phipo | alraune: ok | 21:22 |
| powergoal | bluefox83: i'm not sure what to tell you, but you should be able to run it as a standard user. i think what is happening is that you lose write permissions to the dir /var/run when you login. | 21:22 |

| iMatter | Hello, Im having problems with ubuntu and usb such as when i plug in any usb device it doesnt mount the drives or use the services the device presents dmesg shows it detects the device but it does nothing and complains about it not accepting a address this all started happining after booting a linux distro off of the device but if i pop it in on windows it loads and then mounts in a couple seconds and transfers just as fast this is causing a probl | 21:47 |
| iMatter | em because i cant backup linux now | 21:47 |
| Phipo | mahfiaz: but dont have ip | 21:47 |
| mahfiaz | paolo, nautilus has 1,5 MB limit not to make thumbnail for, see settings | 21:47 |

| Phipo | mahfiaz: i can get ip | 21:47 |
| pulsetsar | slart: mahfiaz: how can I check? | 21:47 |
| Slart | pulsetsar: for samba I think there is a setting in /etc/samba/smb.conf somewhere | 21:48 |
| paolo | mahfiaz: it also fails on smaller files | 21:48 |
| magicrobotmonkey | im using compiz in hardy with the regular (gtk-window-decorator) borders,a nd something is making them all transparent, but i cant tell what | 21:48 |
| Slart | pulsetsar: type !samba in here and ubottu will give you some links to read | 21:48 |

| Neku | does anyone know how to get a lexmark p4350 printer to work on ubuntu | 21:57 |
| mahfiaz | hacked_kernel, remove and install it again, it may help, if not, just stick with older | 21:57 |
| Slart | !uuid | eitri | 21:57 |
| ubottu | eitri: 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) | 21:57 |
| FurryNemesis | eitri, it's not autodetected? | 21:57 |
| trigpin | Slart, heh so true | 21:57 |
| juro | Slart, http://pastebin.com/d505a366f | 21:58 |

| Administrator__ | im back | 21:58 |
| mahfiaz | Neku, is this unsupported, or you don't know how to set it up? | 21:58 |
| juro | Slart, very weird - the system behaves lie a 32 bit system ... | 21:58 |
| ph8 | hi guys, i've just simulated a drive failure by unplugging one end of a sata cable and now my system sticks at 'loading. please wait...' during reboot - a recovery mode boot holds after it's detected USB devices. There's four drives in the machine with a mix of RAID1 (boot) and RAID5( everything else) partitions - any idea what's holding up the boot process? | 21:58 |
| jamie25 | Hello, I was wondering if i could get some help with a problem i am having with ubuntu? I am a newbie! | 21:58 |
| === Administrator__ is now known as iMatter | ||
| eitri | no, not the way I need it.. And I know the UUID, but cifs doesn't allow to mount "root" of USB drive.. How do I set up the UUID to a folder in the USB drive | 21:58 |
| iMatter | im the guy who was complaining about usb | 21:59 |
| mad_max02 | I need help with my wireless adapter. How can I setup my wireless to work as AP so I can connect from my laptop ?? How do I share my internet connection to wireless ?? | 21:59 |
| Neku | mahfiaz: dunno if it supported linux printing said something about paperweight its somethin to do wi the drivers or a ppd file | 21:59 |
| mozzy | Paulo - maybe somthing wrong with the file - try a .jpg you can open - copy rename without the .jpg | 21:59 |
| mahfiaz | eitri, if you figure out, tell me too | 21:59 |
| Slart | juro: hmm.. so you've got 4GB of memory... running a 64bit system.. and you still only get 3GB for use... most weird | 21:59 |
| iMatter | but my computer did something odd and i had to reboot | 21:59 |
| mahfiaz | Neku, can it do postscript? | 21:59 |
| Slart | eitri: you don't... uuid's are for partitions, afaik | 21:59 |
| juro | Slart, I ask myself more often why nothing can go smooth ... | 21:59 |
| mahfiaz | ph8, boot into recovery mode to find out | 21:59 |
| hacked_kernel | mahfiaz, should i install openvz on ubuntu server not the desktop? | 22:00 |
| Neku | mahfiaz: em nt sure kinda a begginer on ubuntu printing stuff n tht | 22:00 |
| iMatter | ill say it again.... | 22:00 |
| mozzy | Paulo - then see if it will open - it should do | 22:00 |
| eitri | ok, so its impossible o use cifs and UUID? | 22:00 |
| Slart | juro: are there any error messages in dmesg? | 22:00 |
| kikinpc | i to all, I need one server of correo for ubuntu | 22:00 |
| juro | Slart, checking | 22:00 |
| Slart | eitri: well.. I think so.. but I might be wrong.. | 22:01 |
| Slart | eitri: cifs is for mounting remote shares using samba | 22:01 |
| Slart | eitri: and a usb stick isn't really a remote samba share | 22:01 |
| mahfiaz | hacked_kernel, desktop is server with additional gui stuff, it does not matter | 22:01 |
| eitri | ah, so it shouldn't be used for USB then | 22:01 |
| eitri | What should I use then? ntfs-3g? | 22:02 |
| juro | Slart, not that I can see | 22:02 |
| mahfiaz | Neku, have you tried Computer - Administration - Printing | 22:02 |
| Slart | eitri: nope.. not uneless I've missed something.. why did you start thinking about cifs? | 22:02 |
| iMatter | well im having problems with usb in ubuntu it will not mount any usb devices partitions i plug in provides dmeg shows a new high-speed usb device has been plugged in but it wont mount the files this all happend after i put a linux live distro on it and booted it and stayed on for 2-3 hours and now it doesnt reconize anything besides a usb bluetooth device and a verison usb internet device but if i plug in ANY device in windows it picks it u | 22:02 |
| iMatter | p immidetly leeds me to think there is something wrong with ubuntu or that he drivers for usb are faulty | 22:02 |
| eitri | Because I had to use it for the NAS | 22:02 |
| php6t1 | help, im using Virtualbox and my bridge conection stops working after certain time, just rebooting the whole computer fix it, what happens? | 22:02 |
| eitri | btw, how to get yellow text? | 22:02 |
| Neku | mahfiaz: yeh im just not sure what driver to set it up wi | 22:03 |
| juro | Slart: this is the only grep -i error in /var/log/dmesg: ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. | 22:03 |
| Slart | eitri: yes.. a NAS shares folders using the smb-protocol.. what kind of file system is on that usb stick? ntfs? fat32? | 22:03 |
| iMatter | also it says something about it not accepting an address | 22:03 |
| Slart | juro: that's not it.. I get that too | 22:03 |
| eitri | ntfs | 22:03 |
| cellofellow | newk: I use WinFF (winff.com) for conversions. | 22:03 |
| jamie25 | So do I just ask a question in here? | 22:03 |
| Slart | iMatter: google for the error message.. I've read so many posts about that.. it seems most people blame it on the usb-chip manufacturers | 22:03 |
| thingfish2 | jamie25: pretty much, yes. | 22:04 |
| cellofellow | newk: WinFF has builtin PSP profiles. | 22:04 |
| Slart | eitri: then use ntfs-3g | 22:04 |
| Slart | !ntfs3g | eitri | 22:04 |

| Slart | antirobotrobot: usually you can't.. unless it has no dependencies.. like wine | 22:26 |
| infinitycircuit | greywhind_, you should try ndiswrapper | 22:26 |
| greywhind_ | infinitycircuit: i didn't install any firmware though - is that necessary? | 22:26 |
| greywhind_ | infinitycircuit: i'm looking at this page: http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi | 22:27 |

| Slart | lap: I think they will have to package it and do some testing so it doesn't kill your system when you install it | 22:45 |
| SeveredCross | That's the only way I knokw. | 22:45 |
| SeveredCross | You can also try and kill gnome-screensaver if it's running. | 22:45 |

I changed the default audio over to asla, so it would play out of my Intel HDA, but it kept playing through the headset... | 22:46 |
| _oOMOo_ | there's a bug in launchpad, don't know the number off-hand | 22:47 |
| Storrgie | katakaio: so i unplugged the headset, and now i get system sounds, but none of my programs are playing through Intel HDA | 22:47 |

| katakaio | Storrgie: the Intel HDA cards are a little funny like that | 22:48 |

| p4_xxx | can u access the othe pc now? | 23:24 |

| pyrex | alright, what partition should i create for ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| Blaze_Boy | ok , thanks | 23:26 |

| belkinhelp2 | how much do I owe you? | 23:26 |
| belkinhelp2 | how about a virtual praise? | 23:26 |
| unop | Aranel, this command herre should find the 10 biggest files. du -a $DIR | sort -n | tail -n 10 # maybe it gives you an indication of what is taking up space | 23:26 |
| _oOMOo_ | belkinhelp2 you owe p4 I think :) | 23:26 |

| dmsuperman | What's different between VNC and x11forwarding ? | 23:27 |
| Blaze_Boy | no it's not that , :( | 23:27 |
| kitche | Blaze_Boy: at least that will tell you if a host is up or not so it seems like what you want since it will output the ip of the host as well | 23:27 |
| RageMachine | pyrex, ext3 is what you want to use. be sure to have a linux-swap partiton too. | 23:27 |
| Aranel | unop: heres the output : http://pastebin.com/d3ad574fd | 23:27 |

| kitche | Blaze_Boy: well -sP is what you want then but nmap really is not what you want then really | 23:28 |
| RageMachine | pyrex, yep assuming your just doing ubuntu, no dual boot or anything swap should be about twice your RAM amount. | 23:28 |
| planet_x | can anyone suggest a good IDE for C++ and visual basic editing that is similar to visual studio and such? | 23:28 |
| _oOMOo_ | ardantus what do you want to know? | 23:28 |

| ardantus | i have install php use apt-get but still not work | 23:29 |
| RageMachine | pyrex, okay, so you'll have vista on one ntfs partiton, ubuntu on one ext3 partition, a linux swap | 23:29 |
| kitche | RageMachine: for visual basic it would be hard but monodevelop | 23:29 |
| lordleemo | Blaze_Boy: for nmap nmap -sP -PI -PT 192.168.0.1/24 read the man nmap | 23:29 |
| RageMachine | kitche, wrong person :P | 23:29 |
| unop | Aranel, try this to filter out directories. du -Sa $DIR | sort -n | tail -n 10 | 23:29 |

| juro | I am looking for a powerful navigator like Directory Opus | 23:31 |
| RageMachine | pyrex, home should be ext3 as well. | 23:31 |

| Dazed | it was like blah somethings scrwed you must run in low graphic mode | 23:38 |
| Aranel | unop: we have a little problem :/ It gives "sort: yazma başarısız oldu" (writing failed) cause of I have no free space. | 23:39 |
| Dazed | so i let it, reinstalled my ati driver, and try to increase teh visual effects quality in the appearance settings | 23:39 |
| pyrex | Gnea: no the partitioning failed. | 23:39 |
| Dazed | and the screen just goes white and reverts to lowest setting | 23:39 |
| pyrex | it said it was aborted but i didnt touch it while it was working. | 23:39 |

| computa_mik1 | Hi - just wanted to ask - I was just trying to add my hosting provider as a bookmark in hardy, and I lost the bar across the top - I had to log off and log back in... | 23:40 |
| _oOMOo_ | ardantus are you accessing the server on a local network? | 23:40 |
| pyrex | Gnea: i was trying to avoid using partition magic and do it during install. But that didnt go so well. | 23:40 |
| emman | please help... | 23:40 |
| simotempler | how do ya get that rain effect working have it enabled but doesnt seem to work here | 23:40 |
| ardantus | no sir | 23:40 |
| unop | Aranel, by delete i mean -- use rm .. not some file browser's version of "delete" | 23:40 |
| Dazed | i checked the log and it doesnt seem to be logging any events at the moment of white screen | 23:40 |
| ardantus | this server in us | 23:40 |
| kitche | ardantus: can you do us a favor and put the name at the start of what you said so what you say actually pops out easier | 23:40 |
| Dazed | i dunno whats up | 23:40 |
| ardantus | i am in indonesia | 23:40 |
| kitche | !who | ardantus | 23:40 |
| ubottu | ardantus: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:40 |
| paolo | unop: what shall I blame for this... gnome or gtk? | 23:40 |
| legend2440 | Dazed: try gksudo displayconfig-gtk choose correct driver and monitor. that might help | 23:41 |
| === stephen is now known as Separ | ||
| ardantus | ok sir | 23:41 |
| _oOMOo_ | kitche do you have any luck connecting to http://vps.ardantus.net | 23:41 |
| ardantus | kitche, sorry | 23:41 |
| Dazed | kk thanks | 23:41 |
| unop | paolo, hmm, very strange .. you could use convert (part of the imagemagick package) to perhaps, repair the jpeg. convert image.jpeg new_image.jpeg | 23:41 |
| simotempler | anyone here able to use that compiz rain effect | 23:41 |
| _oOMOo_ | kitche I keep getting unable to connect | 23:41 |
| unop | paolo, well, it could just be that the jpeg is corrupted | 23:41 |
| burhan | simotempler: sure | 23:41 |
| kitche | _oOMOo_: nope looks like it's not facing an outside thing | 23:41 |
| pyrex | Gnea: i was trying to resize my ntfs partition thats all. It crashed hard halfway. | 23:41 |
| simotempler | what keys do u use | 23:41 |
| Separ | Anyone in here know how to change the gdm login screen theme using gconftool-2? :) | 23:41 |
| simotempler | maybe im pressin the wrong ones | 23:42 |
| rushfan | Anyone here use AACSKEYS following the BluRAyandHDDVD documentation at the Ubuntu Communtiy Documentation site? Im just wonderiginf if its normal for it to take hours to get the keys. | 23:42 |
| Dazed | it says i need to restart | 23:42 |
| Dazed | hope this works | 23:42 |
| kitche | _oOMOo_ ardantus : can't even connect to the main domain well I can but it's slow | 23:42 |
| kitche | ardantus: well your main site looks like the database does not even exist for one thing but pastebin your apache2 conf file so we can take a look at it | 23:43 |
| _oOMOo_ | ardantus there are no server errors or php errors and no file offered for download when I try to connect to your server. It looks like your network is not set to allow connections in some way | 23:43 |
| ardantus | kitche, www.ardantus.net using webserver in 000webhost.com and vps.ardantus.net using vps in santrex.net | 23:43 |

| paolo | unop: well we are talking about thousands of files | 23:44 |
| computa_mik1 | Hi - just wanted to ask - I was just trying to add my hosting provider as a bookmark in hardy, and I lost the bar across the top - I had to log off and log back in - anyone else experience that. If i click on the book mar now, it crashes my menu bar... | 23:44 |
| paolo | unop: including those that are downloaded from the internet | 23:44 |
| unop | paolo, what program are you using to view the files? | 23:44 |
| _oOMOo_ | ardantus maybe if you could show us your apache2.conf? | 23:45 |
| ozzloy | can i get some help setting up samba? here's where i'm stuck: http://pastebin.com/d5964d31e | 23:45 |
| simotempler | burhan: nope not working for me - doesnt it need certain system requirements like cube and all works great | 23:45 |
| ardantus | _oOMOo_, ok i will check it.sir | 23:45 |
| paolo | unop: well at the moment I am just trying to get them as background images... | 23:45 |
| ardantus | _oOMOo_, brb check | 23:45 |
| burhan | ardantus: sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload | 23:46 |
| unop | paolo, hmm, well, do they open up fine in gthumb and/or eog ? | 23:46 |
| Egyn | Hi all, I'm about to build a HTPC and wonder if it will be problematic using 64-bit ubuntu with mythtv? | 23:46 |
| ardantus | burhan, tq sir | 23:46 |
| ardantus | burhan, This module is already enabled! -bash: sudo: command not found | 23:47 |
| unop | ozzloy, nslookup does not work with samba (netBIOS) names .. only DNS .. either configure samba for netBIOS name resolution, or put entries for the names you want to resolve in /etc/hosts | 23:47 |

| sharperguy | Can anyone think why when I try to run eclipse it dies because of JVM terminating prematurely? | 23:50 |
| ozzloy | unop: so put serv1 192.168.1.100 in /etc/hosts ? | 23:50 |
| * pat5star says hi | 23:50 | |
| pat5star | n/m | 23:50 |
| sharperguy | pat5star, "/me" | 23:50 |
| HAL_9001 | Does anyone know why my swap is a little bit smaller than my ram when I tell it at install to be 2gigs??? | 23:50 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: thanks :) | 23:51 |
| ozzloy | unop: 192.168.1.100 serv1 rather? | 23:51 |
| unop | ozzloy, yes | 23:51 |
| ozzloy | or maybe avaak, not serv1? | 23:51 |
| ozzloy | idk which is which on the windows network | 23:51 |
| kitche | sharperguy: did you install the correct version of eclipse? | 23:51 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: do you have eclipse set up to use the correct jvm? | 23:51 |
| ozzloy | idk wtf a "workgroup" is | 23:51 |
| marco_ | hi all | 23:51 |
| marco_ | =) | 23:51 |
| ozzloy | unop: thanks | 23:51 |
| === marco_ is now known as Marcx | ||
| unop | ozzloy, 192.168.1.100 serv1 serv1.avaak | 23:52 |
| sharperguy | pat5star, I might not actually | 23:52 |
| Egyn | HAL_9001: how much is "a little bit"? | 23:52 |
| Dazed | its still just going to a white screen when i try to increase the visual effects | 23:52 |
| Dazed | i dont understand its been working perfectly | 23:52 |
| sharperguy | pat5star, It was all set up in arch, but since I've switched back to ubuntu its probably changed but remembered the setting | 23:52 |
| ozzloy | unop: interesting | 23:52 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: I forget how you get to it, under preferences, or options, then java, you can choose which jvm to use. Plus eclipse can ship with it's own jvm, so if you have classpath's set up for another one, it can all get really messed | 23:53 |
| HAL_9001 | its 1.9 gigs | 23:53 |
| computa_mik1 | any idea how to log a bug? | 23:53 |
| kitche | HAL_9001: well that really is 2 gigs | 23:53 |
| HAL_9001 | I just heard its needs to be the same for hibernate | 23:53 |
| ozzloy | unop: can you help me get samba working? | 23:53 |
| unop | ozzloy, i could try | 23:54 |
| ozzloy | unop: please do! | 23:54 |
| === a830 is now known as kaminix | ||
| sharperguy | argh it crashed before I can even find the option | 23:54 |
| paolo | unop: sorry... eog works fine | 23:54 |
| Egyn | HAL_9001: i would use a larger swap than the amount of ram, then you would not have to worry | 23:54 |
| kitche | HAL_9001: most likely some of the space is being reserved for root | 23:54 |
| sharperguy | I think it does it when it gets to a certain point while parseing the open program | 23:54 |
| pat5star | HAL_9001: I think setting anymore than 1g swap is a waste anyhow with that much ram | 23:54 |
| unop | ozzloy, this might be a complement to the name resolution issue .. http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch07_03.html | 23:54 |
| kitche | pat5star: not really he said he's using hibernate | 23:55 |
| siefny | hi all | 23:55 |
| Egyn | HAL_9001: it all depends on how you use your hardware though | 23:55 |
| Egyn | HAL_9001: if you want a big swap or not | 23:55 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: you can start up eclipse with options to use a certain jvm as well, check the docs, I can't remember how to off the top of me head but I'm sure that will solve your problem | 23:55 |
| ozzloy | unop: i wonder if i could order this book on the companies dime | 23:55 |
| HAL_9001 | is there anyway to take away the root space on swap? | 23:55 |
| siefny | sombody good know mbr ?? i have big problem | 23:56 |
| unop | paolo, hmm, not sure then -- i don't use gnome to be able help you with this | 23:56 |
| ozzloy | unop: the weird thing is, if i go Places -> Network -> Windows Network, AVAAK shows up | 23:56 |
| pat5star | siefny: grub to the rescue :) | 23:56 |
| ozzloy | unop: and if i click on it, SERV1 shows up | 23:56 |
| Egyn | HAL_9001: donno, that is over my head | 23:56 |
| siefny | pat5star i know...i try reinstall grub... | 23:56 |
| jmichelsen_ | Is there a way to make a shortcut to a folder in Thunar? The foldar has a space in it and I made a shortcut with the r click menu but it broke cos of the space | 23:56 |
| ozzloy | unop: but clicking on that gives a pause followed by an empty folder | 23:56 |
