| siefny | pat5star: u know any fix that??? | 00:00 |
| Beta-guy | what is the default root password for ubuntu? | 00:00 |
| ozzloy | unop: i'm reading that page, but there's a lot of vocabulary i'm unfamiliar with on it | 00:00 |
| sharperguy | pat5star, No idea | 00:01 |
| pat5star | siefny: sry, I'm not very good with boinked mbr's, I'd check grubs docs because you have a limited shell upon boot with grub that might help you | 00:01 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: I meant for you to type that into a shell | 00:01 |
| Cutter | bobertdos: why a server? | 00:01 |
| kitche | Beta-guy: that isn't one | 00:01 |
| bobertdos | !sudo | Beta-guy | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Beta-guy: 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) | 00:01 |
| jordo2323__ | Beta-guy: there is none, its the password you set at install.....Ubuntu technically doesn't use a root account | 00:01 |
| juro | can I get a 32bit Software to run on Ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| siefny | pat5star: kk ty | 00:01 |
| sharperguy | pat5star, I know but I don't know what the path of the right JVM is | 00:01 |
| zikiti | Hello all | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Beta-guy: you never need to be root as long as your username is a member of the sudo group | 00:02 |
| Beta-guy | there is NO root account? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | zikiti | 00:02 |
| ubottu | zikiti: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:02 |
| kitche | juro: yes need to install lib32 | 00:02 |
| fabio_ | net | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Beta-guy: there is but it is moot | 00:02 |
| kitche | Beta-guy: there is a root account just that it's locked down | 00:02 |
| Beta-guy | ah | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Beta-guy: you dont need it | 00:02 |
| Beta-guy | can I still SU? | 00:02 |
| juro | kitche: can I do that through synaptic (trying to install Aptana Studio on 64bit machine) | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Beta-guy: if you dont use it it will make your system more secure | 00:02 |
| bobertdos | Cutter: Because it isn't possible for two users to use the same physical computer at the same time....?? | 00:03 |
| kitche | juro: yeah don't know the name of the package but hang on a sec ubottu knows the anwser | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Beta-guy: you can sudo -s if you REALLY gotta but its not advised at all | 00:03 |
| Cutter | bobertdos: that's what I want to do | 00:03 |
| zikiti | I want to reinstall ubuntu on my laptop but have about 30 gigs of information that I cannot get delete. I was thinking that I can create a new partition from free space and during the install, elect not to format that partition... how do i go about doing that? | 00:03 |
| zikiti | What tools do I need? | 00:03 |
| Beta-guy | I had some trouble trying to install the ATI drivers it wasn't me to be root or su | 00:03 |
| Beta-guy | wanted | 00:04 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: use find to find where and how many jvm's you have installed, then try different eclipse -vm /path/* to see if any will boot up eclipse so you can make the correct permanent changes | 00:04 |
| zikiti | I want to do a clean install | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Beta-guy: then put sudo before the command and you will appear as root for the life of the command, then revert back to user | 00:04 |
| weirdbro | Has anyone installed the banshee 1.21 yet? | 00:04 |
| pat5star | sharperguy: or, apt-get --purge remove eclipse; then reinstall it and see if it will work | 00:04 |
| Beta-guy | ok I'll give that a shot, thanks! | 00:04 |
| juro | kitche: so what does ubottu say? | 00:05 |
| weirdbro | I've been having trouble with sorting in banshee 1,21 | 00:05 |
| kitche | juro: can't remember the switch really to see the factoid on it but in synaptic there is 32bitlibs | 00:05 |
| ladyfantasy | anyone know if there's a way (besides editing grub config) to turn off the ubuntu splash screen during boot to see boot messages? | 00:05 |
| paolo | unop: yes they do | 00:05 |
| juro | ladyfantasy: switch to a different console | 00:05 |
| ladyfantasy | thanks juro | 00:06 |
| kitche | ladyfantasy: f1 I believe might get rid of the splash or esc | 00:06 |
| onelivv_ | Anyone familiar with mpeg4ip on Ubuntu Hardy? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kitche: i think its ia32 | 00:06 |
| ladyfantasy | will try that too kitche | 00:06 |
| Marko84 | :-D | 00:06 |
| Marko84 | any1 from Europe in here? | 00:06 |
| zikiti | anyone? | 00:06 |
| kitche | ActionParsnip: nope but ia32 is not 32bit since ia64 is not the same as x86_64 | 00:07 |
| ubuntu | how can I stop logging of system events? I know /etc/syslog.conf and 'System > System > Session' | 00:07 |
| pat5star | ladyfantasy: also you can stop it in your /boot/grub/menu.lst, it's the splash directive. (backup menu.lst first just in case!) | 00:07 |
| kitche | ActionParsnip: ia32 might be some odd arch. that they might have tried using before they got ia64 working :) | 00:07 |
| skalper1 | hello | 00:07 |
| ladyfantasy | yeah, i always edit the grub config, but sometimes forget after a kernel upgrade puts it back in there without asking me... :/ thanks pat5star | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kitche: they let you run 32bit apps | 00:07 |
| pat5star | ladyfantasy: n/m, just seen your original post\ | 00:07 |
| skalper1 | jest ktoś z polski | 00:07 |
| * pat5star feels dumb lol | 00:08 | |
| kitche | ActionParsnip: yes but ubottu does not have that as a switch :) | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !32bit | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 32bit | 00:08 |
| kitche | ladyfantasy: well if you wanted you could copy the kernel lines and put them at the end of the file then updates won't effect it really | 00:09 |
| jmichelsen_ | is there a way to replace Thunar in Xubuntu with pcman? | 00:09 |
| ladyfantasy | hmm... good point | 00:09 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about services | 00:11 |
| bobertdos | Cutter: Well okay, but that's a bit more of an undertaking than we can solve very quickly in this channel so I suggest some reading | 00:11 |
| bobertdos | !server | Cutter | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Cutter: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| Frozen_North | hey all, are some of the repo's down currently? | 00:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:12 |
| Kernel | how can i force a program to run in the background? its currently running in a console? | 00:12 |
| bobertdos | utnubu: bcrypt is a simple command line utility that uses the blowfish algorithm | 00:12 |
| bobertdos | !info bcrypt | utnubu | 00:13 |
| ubottu | utnubu: bcrypt (source: bcrypt): Cross platform file encryption utility using blowfish. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1-5 (hardy), package size 17 kB, installed size 72 kB | 00:13 |
| ladyfantasy | Kernel: one way is to start the process with "nohup" | 00:13 |
| Kernel | utnubu: best encryption app is truecrypt. | 00:13 |
| ladyfantasy | but i don't believe you can do that once the process is already running, so you'd need to start it over | 00:13 |
| gsd | Does anyone know if there is a tool similiar to prime95 for linux? | 00:13 |
| Kernel | ladyfantasy: see the program is already running..and i need to log out then back in...without it stopping | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | gsd: what does it do? | 00:13 |
| ladyfantasy | yeah, best thing is probably to wait til it finishes if you don't want to restart it | 00:13 |
| utnubu | ok, you already told me encryption methods, but could someone tell me where can I find a tutorial on how to do it? | 00:14 |
| gsd | ActionParsnip: uhm its a cpu/memory torture test, used for overclocking :) | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | utnubu: search for encryptfs | 00:14 |
| utnubu | ok | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | gsd: theres a cpu burn in test on the ultimate boot cd, takes about 6 days to run | 00:14 |
| gsd | ActionParsnip: ... ouch >< | 00:15 |
| Swish | that sounds like overkill to the extreme | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | gsd: yeah its a proper test | 00:15 |
| ubuntu | Question: JFS, and 'klogd' and 'syslogd' are stopped. Next boot causes disability to start X-system. Can this 2-b- true? | 00:15 |
| utnubu | !encryptfs | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about encryptfs | 00:15 |
| jmichelsen_ | gsd: you could make a bartpe cd with prime embedded that can run from the disk, like ultimate boot cd | 00:16 |

Circumstances: doing intensive work (web design) in vmware workstation running osx leopard 10.5 and 4-5gb allocated to the OS. I'm really worried i wont be able to run leopard fast in the vmware. Any ideas/suggestions? | 00:24 |
| gleyve | thnks guys..i'll look for it | 00:24 |
| kitche | CostaRicanQuaker: dwm twm openbox, fluxbox, blackbox | 00:24 |
| Chousuke | KenBW2: dunno :/ | 00:24 |
| rw | there is an article about it on linuxowns.wordress.com | 00:25 |
| jmichelsen_ | didooofidooo: the thing is there is no makefile, it was a script named something else. Think it will still work that way? | 00:25 |
| kitche | CostaRicanQuaker: probably fluxbox/openbox/blackbox | 00:25 |
| KenBW2 | Chousuke: ah well | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | frsandstone77: should be fine | 00:25 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | kitche: are those downloadable from the repositories? | 00:25 |
| kindofabuzz | jmichelsen_: i sent you a pm if ya don't mind | 00:25 |
| kitche | CostaRicanQuaker: well fluxbox is | 00:25 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can i install them all and try them out and choose which session to log into? | 00:25 |
| kitche | CostaRicanQuaker: you should be able to | 00:26 |
| frsandstone77 | acionparsnip: because i wouldnt be using ubuntu very much during the work, do you think that i would be able to maintain decently smooth operation with even 6-7gb allocated to the vmware? | 00:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | like kde/gnome/xfce, i don't want to install another distro i just want a lighter windows manager | 00:26 |
| bobertdos | Cutter: Well, I was going to say, if that's the case, you could set up additional user accounts. | 00:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | kitche so i sudo apt-get install fluxbox ? | 00:26 |
| kitche | frsandstone77: yes that machine out powers most machines here most likely | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | frank23: yeah it runs fine on my semperon am2 with 1gb DDR2 so you shuld be fine | 00:26 |
| frsandstone77 | okay | 00:27 |
| didooofidooo | jmichelsen : i dont think so ... it will work only if there is a makefile ... any way applications that is are installed from source code are hard to be uninstalled :-( | 00:27 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | well, since youtube is flash, not java... | 00:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | kitche: so i sudo apt-get install fluxbox ? | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | frsandstone77: you could always reduce ram to vmware if its slow which id imagine its not due to your cpu | 00:27 |
| kitche | CostaRicanQuaker: yes | 00:27 |
| utnubu | can I encrypt my OS after I have it installed, or do I need to do some extra step before installing? | 00:28 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | ActionParsnip: can i install freebsd without erasing anything from ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| jamie25 | so would it be an issue with flash then? | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: its a totally different OS dude | 00:29 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes, but can i? | 00:29 |
| dmoerner | jamie25, you use flash, not java, for youtube. | 00:29 |
| utnubu | ActionParsnip, I'll do my research and will experiment on my PC. I'll tell you the outcome, if you're interested | 00:29 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i hear that all linux applications run on it | 00:29 |
| rw | KenBW2: if you are wondering on how I fixed it (you asked something similar), take a look at the place plugin in compiz fusion. It did the trick for me and you can specify window placement there | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | utnubu: sure | 00:29 |
| dmoerner | CostaRicanQuaker, if your harddisk is big enough to dual boot, of course | 00:29 |

| jmichelsen_ | didooofidooo: ah yea I worried about that, o well thanks | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: its a different OS altogether, you'll be format / reinstalling | 00:30 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | dmoerner: i want to be able to dual boot, but when i installed ubuntu i used the entire disk option so i only have one partition | 00:30 |
| planetx | anyone know how i can get my exit and minimize/maximize buttons back on all applications, they dissapeared for some reason | 00:30 |
| didooofidooo | jmichelsen you are welcome .... try to delete the installed files manualy .. this is the last way | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: then you need to resize the partitions or buy a second drive | 00:31 |
| dmoerner | CostaRicanQuaker, you will need to repartition to create free space for freebsd, which will in turn create a disklabel on the partition you give for it | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: or run it virtually | 00:31 |
| droopsta915 | anyone got aspare vmware key? I got a few from my teacher, but they are all for windows?.?.? | 00:31 |

| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: you can edit boot.ini to fireup linux but its better to install windows then linux so grub adds the dual boot garbage | 00:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no i mean | 00:34 |

| simotempler | hi there - is it possible to install mac os x on virtualbox?? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: thats because it overwrites the boot sector | 00:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | does freebsd do that? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | simotempler: absolutely | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: you'll get options, id jump on googlevideo or youtube to watch an install | 00:35 |
| kitche | CostaRicanQuaker: well FreeBSD will overwrite the mbr as well but you can boot using the command line really should ask in ##freebsd | 00:35 |
| didooofidooo | CostaRicanQuaker it must be .... but you came to the wrong place to ask ;-) | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: id check out pcbsd too, simpler to use | 00:36 |

| simotempler | thats not good no | 00:37 |

| eligos | I got a live Comfusion install DVD and it's not getting along with my Nvidia graphica card, and it's odes not even load the installer | 00:38 |
| frsandstone77 | anyone remember my question before? | 00:38 |

| didooofidooo | eligos check the DVD for deffects first before you start installation | 00:39 |

| sun01tech | Asterix_: prime95? | 00:39 |

| frsandstone77 | how would running osx 10.5 server vs the leopard desktop version in a vmware differ in performance? | 00:40 |

| ActionParsnip | simotempler: and if its bad you'll have wasted your cash | 00:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | eligos: just install hardy | 00:40 |

| Asterix_ | usser: I tried running a cpu stress test that maxxed it out completely and it didn't lock up for a couple hours worth. I think it was hitting around 75 degrees with that test running. | 00:57 |
| marius | ia there a way to aktivate the wlan in ubuntu over the terminal? | 00:57 |
| summatusmentis | kitche: oh, no server? that'd be why I keep getting denied connections | 00:57 |
| bobertdos | kahrytan: In which case, you should probably delete all references to the plugin and fresh install to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1 | 00:57 |
| usser | Asterix_, what kind of game were u playing was it running in wine? | 00:57 |
| Stargazer | Bosan4edos: on a side note, MSN Messenger is updating their codes and some programs may not function properly, go to the website for further info | 00:58 |
| kahrytan | bobertdos» The plugin directory is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 00:58 |
| bosan4edos | Stargazer: i am not good with english plz dude help me :S | 00:58 |
| kahrytan | bobertdos» so How do i tell firefox to find the freakin plugin that is there | 00:58 |
| Asterix_ | usser: I tested it with WoW and Portal and it did the crashing thing with both of them with my previous card | 00:58 |
| RageMachine | rzec, are you using ubuntu, or xubuntu / kubuntu | 00:58 |
| kahrytan | bobertdos» if you dont know how, then tell me. | 00:59 |
| Asterix_ | usser: and with my new card it has crashed once with both of them but only after a much longer time than the ~5 min I was getting with the old card. | 00:59 |
| Stargazer | Bosan4edos: MSN Messenger is getting new stuff and the people making Emesene don't know how to use it -_- | 00:59 |

| rzec | RageMachine: Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit | 00:59 |
| usser | Asterix_, hm... that is weird i dunno what to tell u, try running a linux native game like openarena or tremulous see how that works out | 00:59 |
| RageMachine | Asterix_ you could try Crossover Games (google) its basically wine you pay for. It has a trial, and it comes with the proper settings to run most games at optimum | 00:59 |
| kahrytan | bobertdos» There is the vlc plugin in that directory that is detected just fine. but not libflash | 00:59 |
| bosan4edos | Stargazer: i know how to use it just i can't see my contacts i will make a screenshot look | 00:59 |
| Asterix_ | ragemachine: I've never had problems with wine before... I was 99% certain it was a heat problem that was causing my card to crash but now I'm not certain anymore. | 01:00 |
| bobertdos | kahrytan: One way or another, a link, or a copy of the plugin itself should be directly in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/plugins. I really suggest deleting everything and starting from scratch with that. | 01:00 |
| RageMachine | rzec, it seems there is a bug with KDE/Gnome that gamma does not change. If you install Xubuntu (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) you can change the gamma, then log back into gnome | 01:00 |
| ramontayag | alraun1: I did.. but not sure what i'm supposed to do with it | 01:00 |
| RageMachine | Asterix_ new versions of wine can mess things up | 01:00 |

| kahrytan | bobertdos» the plugin directory is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and not /usr/lib/flash-3* | 01:00 |
| Asterix_ | usser: I'll have to try out a native game and see what happens. It's just so disconcerting to have been so sure it was a heat problem and now it's cropping up again albeit in a limited fashion. | 01:01 |
| RageMachine | Asterix_ it only takes a second or two to setup crossovers, and if it works via that, you know its the wine version your using :) | 01:01 |

| phoenix_ | I don't mind paying, but they actually manipulate my current NTFS partition? | 01:16 |
| eligos | does aby one know what "native_apic_write" is? | 01:16 |
| the|navigator | Can I install from a USB? | 01:16 |
| phoenix_ | I didn't know that they did that... | 01:16 |
| RageMachine | casdf, so you click the icon. Nothing at happens, can you just go about your merry way and keep using programs etc.? | 01:16 |
| qr_ | phoenix_: try virtualbox, it's free and should do what you want. | 01:16 |
| RageMachine | the|navigator, yep. guides all over google | 01:16 |
| casdf | RageMachine: nope, mouse clicks dont trigger anymore | 01:16 |
| centrex | phoenix_, oh not sure about that, sorry | 01:16 |
| candive | chow | 01:16 |
| casdf | RageMachine: and same happens with ctrl-alt-bksp | 01:17 |
| leachim6_ | any more help for me ? | 01:17 |
| RageMachine | casdf, but programs still run? | 01:17 |
| the|navigator | My Ubuntu install keeps stopping on bootup, and saying its on routine checks and I get streams of {DRDY ERR}{UNC} | 01:17 |
| casdf | RageMachine: the ones that are running i think still continue | 01:17 |
| RageMachine | casdf. Okay. Well, your best bet is to try different shutdown commands via the terminal, and see if any work | 01:17 |
| casdf | RageMachine: control alt backspace logged me out | 01:17 |
| RageMachine | casdf,oh | 01:17 |
| RageMachine | casdf thats good. | 01:18 |
| Odd-rationale | leachim6: i'm out of ideas, sorry.. | 01:18 |
| RageMachine | casdf ctrl+alt+bckspace restarts gnome | 01:18 |
| Beta-guy | I need help getting into gnome or I'll have to reformat, and I don't want to reformat everytime I hit a bump in the road with Linux... | 01:18 |
| casdf | RageMachine: i see | 01:18 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:hardy is installed and you get drive errors at bootup ? | 01:18 |
| leachim6_ | Odd-rationale, I figured it out | 01:18 |
| leachim6_ | http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50496 | 01:18 |
| kitche | Beta-guy: well what is the issue? | 01:18 |
| the|navigator | alraun1: yes | 01:18 |
| phoenix_ | But all this VBox does is create an ISO/VMB file and install the OS there, I don't want to do that. I want to fully run my existing windows XP in a virtual machine environment to eliminate rebooting. | 01:18 |
| Beta-guy | I'm having difficulty, I tried installing the ATI drive and when I rebooted I just got a black screen when X tried to load, I got ubuntu to fix X and it loads now but when I try to log in to gnome, it goes to a white screen but failsafe gnome loads fine, any suggestions? | 01:18 |
| Odd-rationale | leachim6: cool | 01:18 |
| RageMachine | casdf. So, this means gnome isn't frozen or anything like that, just the command ubuntu is using to shutdown etc. isnt working. | 01:19 |
| cambazz | in the /etc/passwd file if i have user:x:1000:1000 which one of the 1000's is the group id? | 01:19 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:have a live cd ? | 01:19 |
| casdf | RageMachine: oh, well i didnt try to freeze it first | 01:19 |
| the|navigator | yes. | 01:19 |
| redneck862 | can someone help me with please? I installed powerpoint reader 2007 + compatibility pack via wine to my ubuntu but it can't read ppsx-files | 01:19 |
| kitche | phoenix_: look at vmware-server it should have the feature you want really | 01:19 |
| RageMachine | casdf oh >.< | 01:19 |
| RageMachine | casdf thats okay. | 01:19 |
| casdf | RageMachine: when i freeze it first the same happens tho, it still logs out | 01:19 |
| RageMachine | casdf kk | 01:19 |
| casdf | RageMachine: so thats good! | 01:19 |
| RageMachine | casdf can you open a terminal and type 'sudo shutdown -h' | 01:19 |
| moolcool | AG I had my ubuntu perfectly configured with all the compiz stuff, all my accounts on pidgin, all my firefox stuff. It was perfect! So that was great of like a week but now every time i try to boot it goes to BusyBox | 01:19 |
| alraun1 | boot up with live, reconnect with live pidgin, see you then | 01:19 |
| moolcool | Im stuck in slow windows | 01:20 |
| the|navigator | alraun, I can't. | 01:20 |
| the|navigator | I use wifi. | 01:20 |
| RageMachine | casdf note you'll either freeze or shutdown :) | 01:20 |
| the|navigator | b43 isn't installed by default | 01:20 |
| casdf | RageMachine: -now as well right/ | 01:20 |
| _2 | well i have managed to move the problem form su to the package manager. dpkg is hung up. with this loop now. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d308f1395 | 01:20 |
| casdf | yeah it shuts down | 01:20 |
| eligos | is ubuntu always hard to install when you have an Nvidia graphics card or am I just plain ignorant??? | 01:20 |
| kitche | the|navigator: actually bcm43xxx is installed by default just the firmware isn't | 01:20 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:laptop ? | 01:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | eligos: usually nvidia is about the easiest their is... lol | 01:21 |
| casdf | eligos: i had problems with nvidia and kubuntu, but not nvidia and ubuntu | 01:21 |
| qr_ | eligos: nvidia is usually the easy one | 01:21 |
| eligos | jajajajajajaja | 01:21 |
| the|navigator | I have VIsta on one, ubuntu on one, so can you walk me through it on this one> | 01:21 |
| alraun1 | eligos:huum, card modell ? | 01:21 |
| RageMachine | casdf okay so shutdown works if you do it messily. | 01:21 |
| RageMachine | casdf I am not sure the command ubuntu uses by default. | 01:21 |
| moolcool | AG I had my ubuntu perfectly configured with all the compiz stuff, all my accounts on pidgin, all my firefox stuff. It was perfect! So that was great of like a week but now every time i try to boot it goes to BusyBox. This happend with my laptop as well as my desktop a number of times. is this a common problem? | 01:21 |
| RageMachine | casdf but its that particular command thats causing you trouble :) | 01:21 |
| casdf | well, its just that the menu isnt even showing up | 01:22 |
| casdf | the one with the 5 buttons | 01:22 |
| RageMachine | casdf yea, thats 'shutdown'. | 01:22 |
| the|navigator | alraun1: so boot into live, yeah, now what? | 01:22 |
| _2 | anyone on the borked package ? | 01:22 |
| casdf | really? hmm. | 01:22 |
| eligos | then I don't get this, my comfusion works just fine if I remove my graphics card, but when I try to use it, it won't even launch the live cd installer | 01:22 |
| RageMachine | casdf you could try alt + f2 then typing shutdown | 01:22 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:little dangerous, any very important data on the ubu book ? | 01:22 |
| casdf | "quit" under the system menu, is what im referring to | 01:22 |
| the|navigator | no. | 01:22 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | hey, i have a simple question that probably 9/10 of the people here could answer | 01:22 |
| the|navigator | I'd prefer to keep settings and stuff though. | 01:23 |
| youknowme | !ask | 01:23 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 01:23 |
| caribou_ | hello | 01:23 |
| eligos | alraun1:NVIDIA GeForce 7100 GS pci express 256mb. | 01:23 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | how do you make the totem web browser plugin for firefox use the xine backend? | 01:23 |
| Beta-guy | is there a way I can reset gnome? | 01:23 |
| RageMachine | casdf I dont have that menu (using a dock) so I am not sure if thats any different, but the default manager for shutting down / logging off / standby etc is shutdown | 01:23 |
| vices | what's the command to see which version of kernel i have? | 01:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | Beta-guy: coitrol alt backspace will restart X.. probablyd o what you want(just make sure anything you need to save, is saved) | 01:23 |
| casdf | perhaps i should move to this dock then lol | 01:23 |
| casdf | which is the one you're using? | 01:24 |
| moolcool | anyone? | 01:24 |
| RageMachine | casdf what you can do as a kinda hackish way of shutting down the computer is closing all programs then going ctrl + alt + backspace and shutting down from the login screen | 01:24 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:1) boot live 2)umount -a 3) terminal-root : e2fsck -p /dev/sda-z | 01:24 |
| the|navigator | alraun1: so? What do I do after being on live... | 01:24 |
| the|navigator | what does that do? | 01:24 |
| mrpiracy | i have 3 soundcards in my system. how can i find which is which since /dev/audio1 /dev/audio2 and /dev/audio3 exist? | 01:24 |
| alraun1 | eligos:mom, have a look | 01:24 |
| primistry | Thanks for making a great OS | 01:24 |
| eligos | ??? | 01:25 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | how do you make the totem web browser plugin for firefox use the xine backend? | 01:25 |
| RageMachine | primistry, your welcome. it was all me :) | 01:25 |
| _2 | moolcool it's a kernel update try booting an older kernel | 01:25 |
| bigdiskool | how? | 01:25 |
| primistry | ha | 01:25 |
| Odd-rationale | MrWizeGuy1983: install totem-xine | 01:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | RageMachine: liar, you know i helped tol. | 01:25 |
| lavish | primistry: do you mean ubuntu? | 01:25 |
| RageMachine | primistry :P don't believe me? | 01:25 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Odd-rationale, i have that, how do i make the plugin use it? | 01:25 |
| primistry | Of course Lavish | 01:25 |
| RageMachine | IndyGunFreak, dude, it was just one patch. | 01:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 01:25 |
| RageMachine | IndyGunFreak, hardly worth mentioning :P | 01:25 |
| bigdiskool | Hey guys i can't connect to amsn any more since i installed trillian on wine...whats wrong? do i need to switch ports? | 01:26 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:checking your filesystem and hopefully automatical repair, make shure your hd -partits are not mounted | 01:26 |
| primistry | I'm looking forward to Alpha 4 | 01:26 |
| lavish | primistry: :| nite. | 01:26 |
| _2 | moolcool the busybox shell is within the initramfs and means that the root fs was not mounted... you can "if you know how" mount the root fs and continue to load the system from there. | 01:26 |
| Odd-rationale | MrWizeGuy1983: it should automatically... especially if you unstalled totem-gstreamer | 01:26 |
| moolcool | how do i boot to another kernel? and why is this one phailing me? | 01:26 |
| mrpiracy | i have 3 soundcards in my system. how can i find which is which since /dev/audio1 /dev/audio2 and /dev/audio3 exist? Is there a way i could get a device description from one of these paths? | 01:26 |
| Beta-guy | IndyGunFreak: I don't want to restart X, I want to return Gnome to it's default settings, I can load failsafe gnome, but not Gnome. | 01:26 |
| deepfriedsquirre | zzl: What? I didn't... | 01:26 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I own the damned game. | 01:26 |
| ````bulldogg | I need someones help.... my buddy had a death in the family across... country I am going to let him have this laptop while he is gone... how do I add him so that he can sudo... I could google but I need info very quick | 01:26 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Odd-rationale, i have three versions of totem on here, one that uses xine one that uses gstreamer and one that's just standard totem, do i have to uninstall the gstreamer one to make my firefox plugin use the xine backend? | 01:26 |
| moolcool | so what exactally do i do to get my linux back? | 01:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Beta-guy: oh ok, i'm sorry, misunderstood your problem.. i believe there's a way to do that, but i'm not sure how. | 01:26 |
| qr_ | ````bulldogg: visudo | 01:27 |
| Beta-guy | ok | 01:27 |
| ````bulldogg | so if I do a vi sudo I can add his user? | 01:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | moolcool: sacrificial lambs, onions, garlic, and the thorn of a rose. | 01:27 |
| moolcool | its weird because it worked fine and then on boot one day BAM busybox | 01:27 |
| _2 | moolcool i would love to explain all the whyfor's and hithertoo's about it. but there are lots of docs already writen on the web. select an older kernel at boot time in the grub menu. | 01:27 |
| ````bulldogg | what is the path? | 01:27 |
| qr_ | ````bulldogg: no, the command is visudo. It will open the sudoers file and you can add him there. | 01:27 |
| Odd-rationale | MrWizeGuy1983: three versions? It used to be that they conflicted with each other so that only one is possible... try uninstalling the thers... | 01:27 |
| ````bulldogg | okay thank you very much I appreciate it qr_ | 01:28 |
| ````bulldogg | thanks very much | 01:28 |
| ````bulldogg | bye for now | 01:28 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Odd-rationale, just did that, going to check if it works differently, it was refusing to play real media which my xine backend works wonderfully for | 01:28 |
| bastid_raZor | qr_; you're wrong.. he needs added to the admin group | 01:29 |
| _2 | dpkg is hung up. with this loop now. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d308f1395 | 01:29 |
| alraun1 | eligos:should be no problem | 01:29 |
| eligos | is xmms configurable to paly video?? | 01:29 |
| casdf | eligos: i'd just suggest vlc | 01:29 |
| _2 | somebody have a sujestion ? | 01:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | eligos: xmms pretty much sucks for playing music, but o, it doesn't play videos | 01:29 |
| qr_ | bastid_raZor: no, I'm right. adding him to the admin group is another way of doing it. | 01:29 |
| casdf | RageMachine: did you have a dock recommendation? | 01:29 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Odd-rationale, i'm not sure if it's using the xine backend now or not, should be, but it's giving me a message that i need reaplayer to play something (i have it but it's not using it because firefox doesn't have a realplayer plugin on my computer) | 01:29 |
| alraun1 | the|navigator:you're done for the first ? | 01:30 |
| bastid_raZor | qr_; he'll have issues figuring out visudo.. hopefully he gets it. admin group would have been much easier. | 01:30 |
| eligos | what would you recommend to be the best music player?? | 01:30 |
| EugenMayer | how could i upgrade the subversion client to a newer version with ubuntu hardy ? | 01:30 |
| primistry | Songbird | 01:30 |
| casdf | eugenmayer: sudo apt-get install svn should do it | 01:31 |
| Odd-rationale | MrWizeGuy1983: idk then... sorry... :( | 01:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | eligos: for a small, light player(like xmms), i like audacious... even uses xmms skins if you want. | 01:31 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | thanks for the try Odd-rationale i appreciate your time | 01:31 |
| qr_ | bastid_raZor: why are you telling me this. I think it would have been a lot more productive to tell _him_ this if you really feel this strongly about it. | 01:31 |
| EugenMayer | casdf: the word "upgrade" is quite important | 01:31 |
| eligos | thanks | 01:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | eligos: if you're looking a full featured music program(like itunes), i'd recommend banshee or rhythmbox | 01:31 |
| casdf | EugenMayer: when you say install, it will tell you if it can be upgraded. | 01:31 |
| neurobuntu | EugenMayer, sudo apt-get install subversion | 01:31 |
| bastid_raZor | qr_; i jumped in too late. he was gone before i could respond. | 01:31 |
| neurobuntu | EugenMayer, svn isn't a package | 01:31 |
| ladyfantasy | or amarok | 01:31 |
| dimitris | Anyone knows how I can get my sata drives recognised by the partioning utility during installation of ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| eligos | indigunfreak:oh, and to play video??? | 01:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | ladyfantasy: i consider kde libs a virus..lol, but amarok is a pretty good program | 01:32 |
| EugenMayer | neurobuntu: the current stable one is not new enaugh for me | 01:32 |
| alraun1 | eligos:want to install it now ? | 01:32 |
| ladyfantasy | hmm | 01:32 |
| ladyfantasy | well, everyone has their own opinions :) | 01:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | eligos: no, audacious will not play video and music.. | 01:32 |
| qr_ | bastid_raZor: fair enough. Either way, he's gone now, and did seem to know what vi was, so I think he'll be ok (or he'll be back, I guess). | 01:32 |
| EugenMayer | neurobuntu: i cannot use it with eclipses subeclipse plugin, because its to old | 01:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | ladyfantasy: indeed-o | 01:32 |
| neurobuntu | k | 01:32 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | openjdk just got an update, any ideas if it works better than it did before? | 01:32 |
| eligos | alraun1: that's what I've killing myself attempting to do | 01:32 |
| alraun1 | eligos:want to or not ? | 01:33 |
| eligos | alraun1: yes | 01:33 |
| alraun1 | eligos:open a terminal.. | 01:34 |
| condor | hello | 01:34 |
| _2 | i think i put togather a large enough list of package to remove to dump libgl1-mesa and thereby fix dpkg. but this does mean that that system will have to remain x-less | 01:34 |
| primistry | Hi Condor | 01:35 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | bigdiskool, is trillian running while amsn won't connect? | 01:36 |
| EugenMayer | what is the "ubuntu" way to only install that package http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/intrepid/subversion from interpid | 01:36 |
| bigdiskool | MrWizeGuy: nope | 01:36 |
| alraun1 | eligos:i didn't get you | 01:36 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | bigdiskool, i have that too and it doesn't interfere, have you checked your password etc.? it shouldn't change anything, it's just wine software | 01:36 |
| eligos | alraun1: I need to find a way to install ubuntu without having to phisically remove my graphics card | 01:36 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: You want to install teh intrepid versino of subversion on hardy? | 01:36 |
| _2 | neurobuntu #ubuntu_motu ??? | 01:37 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: 'xactly | 01:37 |
| bigdiskool | MrWizeGuy: i think my amsn is out of date... | 01:37 |
| alraun1 | eligos:why should you ? | 01:37 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: The best thing to do is download the source and build it | 01:37 |
| neurobuntu | _2, they are the packaging team responsible for maintaining the ubuntu packaging universe | 01:37 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | bigdiskool, i'm going to get you a link, do you use 32 or 64 bit? | 01:37 |
| neurobuntu | _2 they will probably know better then people here | 01:37 |
| _2 | neurobuntu that channel is empty | 01:37 |
| bigdiskool | MrWizeGuy: im not sure how do i find out? | 01:37 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: well ok | 01:37 |
| bigdiskool | im new to ubuntu :( | 01:38 |
| neurobuntu | _2 /join #ubuntu-motu | 01:38 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: step 1: deb-src http://MIRROR/ubuntu/intrepid main | 01:38 |
| SuperQ | ... | 01:38 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | what processor is it bigdiskool? if it's a core 2 duo it's probably 64 bit | 01:38 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: apt-get update to get the intrepid sources | 01:38 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: apt-get build-dep subversion | 01:38 |
| _2 | neurobuntu that's not what you siad ^ up there :))) /join #ubuntu_motu like you first said and it's only me... | 01:38 |
| neurobuntu | _2, ok so I misspelled it | 01:38 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: that will get all the requirements for building subversion | 01:38 |
| _2 | :) | 01:38 |
| neurobuntu | _2 sorry for trying to help | 01:38 |
| gregge | When I was asked to install a flash-plugin I had three options. Does anyone know if one of them is faster than the others? | 01:39 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: then apt-get -b source subversion | 01:39 |
| bigdiskool | MrWizeGuy: i forgot wut kinda processor is there anywhere i can look to b sure? | 01:39 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | bigdiskool, try this link http://www.getdeb.net/download/3001/0 if it works u have 32 bit, if not tell me and i'll get the 64 bit file | 01:39 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: does that make sense? | 01:39 |
| bigdiskool | k | 01:39 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: but that will force my hardy to upgrade, or | 01:39 |
| SuperQ | no | 01:39 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | bigdiskool, i have a program called sysinfo i recommend to you, i'll get you a link once we know and it will tell you everything | 01:39 |
| _2 | neurobuntu heh. we all typo. and seeing that i had never heard of #ubuntu_motu or #ubuntu-motu i didn't know the differance. thanks for the heads up. | 01:39 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: if you add deb-src instead of deb to sources.list, it will only bring intrepid stuff in when you "apt-get source" | 01:40 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: you keep everything else in sources.list the same | 01:40 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: once you apt-get -b source it will create debs that _should_ work | 01:40 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: I do this all the time to backport apps to my servers | 01:40 |
| alraun1 | eligos:why should you remove your graphics card for installation ? | 01:40 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: actually iam looking for a mirror | 01:41 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: I even keep my own apt repo | 01:41 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: archive.COUNTRY_CODE.ubuntu.com should work | 01:41 |
| bigdiskool | MrWizeGuy: it says an older version is available in software channel Generally u are recommended to install the version from the softwarechanel, since it is usually better supported | 01:41 |
| condor | help | 01:41 |
| SuperQ | oh | 01:41 |
| SuperQ | other way around | 01:41 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: archive.de_de.ubuntu.com or archive.de.ubuntu.com ? | 01:41 |
| gregge | When I playback a flash-video it goes too slow. | 01:42 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: de.archive.ubuntu.com | 01:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | eligos: thats a really good question, why would you do that | 01:42 |
| neurobuntu | condor what is your problem? if it is long post to a pastebin | 01:42 |
| bigdiskool | **installing... | 01:42 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: whatever is already in sources.list should work | 01:42 |
| energY_ | Anyone here? | 01:42 |
| energY_ | Is hardy stable? | 01:42 |
| SuperQ | energY_: Yes | 01:42 |

| rafael | buenas tardes alguien sabe como puedo darle internet a mi compu por medio del USB que biene en el router, en windows se puede pero hay que tener el archivo de instalacion de del roter | 01:49 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: You will need to hack up the control file a bit to make it build (and manually verify you have a jdk installed) | 01:49 |
| rafael | sorry | 01:49 |
| rambo3 | kahrytan, about:robots | 01:49 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: sure i have the jdk installed | 01:49 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: if you go into the subversion-.../debian/ dir | 01:49 |
| kahrytan | rambo3» been there, doen that. its not funny. try again | 01:49 |
| mrpiracy | _2, alraun1, asoundconf list .... it lists all the cards i have, but i need to know which one is /dev/audio1 | 01:49 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: actually iam more going to get the normal sources and install | 01:49 |
| ace_suares | hi there my server won't boot after I converted a single /dev/sda to raid1 (/dev/md0 = /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1) | 01:49 |

| SuperQ | EugenMayer: then go ../ and dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot | 01:50 |
| rambo3 | kahrytan, what ever , ain't my fault you fail | 01:50 |
| EugenMayer | Where is it located. Never touch ubuntu build-files yet, only gentoos | 01:50 |
| ace_suares | it drops me into initramfs and says there are no md devices but hte initrd kernel loads the devices correctly | 01:50 |
| kahrytan | rambo3» just firefox's fault | 01:50 |
| _2 | mrpiracy the card0 is 0 the card1 is 1 .... | 01:50 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: in the dir you did apt-get source it will extract the build tree | 01:50 |
| EugenMayer | sec | 01:50 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: and there will be a debian/ dir that contains the build rules | 01:50 |
| SuperQ | oh, it might have failed at apt-get build-dep | 01:51 |
| SuperQ | hrm | 01:51 |
| neurobuntu | EugenMayer, have you ever tried packaging deb files before? | 01:51 |
| Flacker | for some reason when I type in iwconfig to troubleshoot my wireless is says no exstension is there any way to fix this | 01:51 |
| mrpiracy | _2, so the last one listed there should be /dev/audio3, rite? | 01:51 |
| ace_suares | and if I do ls /dev/md* in the initramfs, then I don't see /dev/md0 | 01:51 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: sorry, this is not really a quick and easy thing to do.. backporting packages is never fun :) | 01:51 |
| EugenMayer | neurobuntu: no. Only with the kernel-package for custom kernels | 01:51 |
| neurobuntu | EugenMayer, if you havne't I would recommend installing Intrepid's subversion with ./configure, make, make install | 01:51 |
| EugenMayer | neurobuntu: i could then use the sf sources of svn ? | 01:52 |
| kahrytan | neurobuntu» Well, Firefox-3 is buggy from this moment on until it properly detects flash10 rc. | 01:52 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: why do you need intrepid's subversion anyway? | 01:52 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: Eclipse + subeclipse | 01:52 |
| neurobuntu | EugenMayer, packaging isn't hard per-se but it is confusing and complex and takes time to learn... I can imagine that if you're going to get very frustrated trying to build the intrepid Subversion .deb for hardy.... yes I would just build from sources obtained from SF | 01:52 |
| SuperQ | EugenMayer: only works in 1.5.x? | 01:52 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: its svn format is >1.4 | 01:52 |

| SuperQ | Yea, | 01:52 |
| EugenMayer | SuperQ: yes | 01:52 |

| Leefmc | Question: My monitor resolution is like 1650 by 1050 (or something to that affect). I chose that in Ubuntu and all was well, but now when i booted back up it is set to 1600x1200 and there isn't even an option for my monitors proper resolution. What gives? | 01:55 |
| neurobuntu | matjan have you tried updating your kernel to 2.6.24-20? | 01:55 |
| Leefmc | The aspect ratio is all jacked, etc. | 01:55 |
| Snares` | 1680 x 1050 | 01:55 |
| Snares` | Leefmc: did you ever turn off twinview? | 01:55 |
| Snares` | it's a nasty bug that screws a lot of stuff up | 01:56 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: I dont even know what twinview is | 01:56 |
| Snares` | edit xorg.conf | 01:56 |
| matjan | neurobuntu: uhm... nope... did not see an update notice for that | 01:56 |
| Snares` | and do Option Twinview "disable" | 01:56 |
| Snares` | I think | 01:56 |
| Snares` | h/o let me check | 01:56 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: K i'll give it a peek | 01:56 |
| neurobuntu | matjan, are you running hardy? | 01:56 |
| matjan | neurobuntu: strange thing is that i had these crashes before, then for quite a while none of them, and now since last weekend every day... | 01:57 |
| * Pelo just threw out about 200 floppies worth 1600$ at purchase ( dos 6.2, win 3.11, win95, ms office 4.2 etc ...) | 01:57 | |
| Leefmc | Snares`: The word "twin" doesn't exist in my xorg | 01:57 |
| matjan | neurobuntu, yes, hardy | 01:57 |
| Snares` | Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: oh noeeezzz | 01:57 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: Oh i know what it may be, i updated my gfx driver | 01:57 |
| neurobuntu | matjan, ok ok... never mind you have the latest kernel | 01:57 |
| Snares` | that's the xorg command | 01:57 |
| matjan | ok | 01:57 |
| neurobuntu | matjan, I lied ;-) | 01:57 |
| matjan | hehe | 01:57 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: IIRC, i changed my gfx driver to fglxr (or whatever) | 01:58 |
| Snares` | once I disabled it it fixed my resolution/refresh rate probs | 01:58 |
| Snares` | do you have an ATI card? | 01:58 |
| Snares` | obviously so | 01:58 |
| matjan | still, i'd like to know what goes wrong | 01:58 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: Should i "add" that? Because my xorg doesn't even HAVE "twin" in it. And yes, ATI | 01:58 |
| Snares` | no I added it, but I think it only affects nvidia cards | 01:58 |
| Snares` | I guess it wouldn't hurt to add it and see what happened lol | 01:58 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: I used this command, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 01:58 |
| vices | #bcm-users | 01:58 |
| Snares` | ok did you do the aticonfig? | 01:59 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: Any idea how i could switch back? | 01:59 |
| Snares` | well you could just edit your xorg.conf with the proper resolution | 01:59 |
| Snares` | but you should have xorg backups | 01:59 |
| Snares` | you could just replace the new xorg.conf with a backup | 01:59 |
| Leefmc | Snares`: I do, since i often edit it because ubuntu doesn't recognize my mx revolution heh. | 01:59 |
| Snares` | ah | 02:00 |
| Snares` | sudo aticonfig --initial | 02:00 |
| Snares` | did you do that? | 02:00 |
| Snares` | and then this sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv | 02:00 |
| === Snares` is now known as Snares | ||
| Leefmc | Snares`: Doesn't ring a bell, i never saw a config section. But i assumed all was fine b ecause after a reboot nothing bad happened. But now when i booted up after i got home.. well you know. | 02:00 |

| uoaphys | hi guys, I just installed virtualbox in a brand new ubuntu 8.04 system. I don't know exactly how to describe what I am wanting to do, but here goes: I have a home network setup on 192.168.1.x which the linux host is on. Then I have the virtualbox which installed by default a NAT behind the linux host at 10.2.2.x. What I want to do is give the virtualbox system a 192.168.1.x ip and completely avoid the double NAT. Is this possible? | 02:26 |
| rustychicken | how do i create a password-protected zip archive? | 02:27 |
| uoaphys | does this require a bridge setup in the linux network? | 02:27 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: You'll just create partitions out of the unallocated stuff, and use those. Its real straight forward, I like the alternate CD better than the desktop when it comes to partitioning | 02:27 |
| jschoolc | how would I switch window managers to metacity? | 02:27 |

| Thedjatclubrock | LordFDisk: ~ is == to /home/<user> | 02:28 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Oh | 02:28 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | LordFDisk: usually means it's a backup copy created by whatever program ... yeah, what crdlb say | 02:28 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | said* | 02:28 |
| qr_ | LordFDisk: usually it means it's a backup file if it's at the end of the name, if it's used like ~/things it means your home dir. | 02:28 |
| jschoolc | Daisuke_Laptop: thanks, do I have to restart x or something? | 02:29 |
| ari_stress | morning all :) | 02:29 |
| LordFDisk | So I can delete it? right? | 02:29 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: So I'd need 5 Partitions? | 02:29 |
| erixn | I was just following a guide on how to install beryl & ATI Radeon. So, I restarted my comp. And now Im running on low-grapic. Anyone? | 02:29 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | why beryl? | 02:29 |
| Thedjatclubrock | |DAMAGE|: Do you mind me asking where in LI you live? | 02:29 |
| erixn | I want my desktop to look nice.. | 02:30 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | beryl's dead though | 02:30 |
| Thedjatclubrock | |DAMAGE|: Consider #lilug | 02:30 |
| crdlb | LordFDisk: if it's in your home directory and you don't need it, sure | 02:30 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: You have two, so you'd need two more if you were going to have a swap partition. | 02:30 |
| ari_stress | erixn: beryl is now compiz | 02:30 |
| erixn | Auch | 02:30 |
| crdlb | LordFDisk: nautilus hides them by default though | 02:30 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: No /boot / and swap? | 02:30 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: But if you wanted a separate home, that'd be five yes, so you'd have to make an extended partition, and then make logical partitions | 02:30 |
| erixn | But i still messed up my graphic driver, tho. | 02:30 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: Why do you want a separate boot? | 02:30 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | however, it sounds like a driver problem more than a beryl issue | 02:30 |
| sotamanga | is someone using iwl3945? | 02:30 |
| LordFDisk | And thank you all for you help and answers | 02:30 |
| erixn | Yes, its not beryl issue yet. I messed up my graphic driver | 02:31 |
| ari_stress | erixn: no problem, usually there's a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, revert to it | 02:31 |
| erixn | Ok | 02:31 |
| erixn | But I also disabled flgrx | 02:31 |
| erixn | fglrx| | 02:31 |
| crdlb | erixn: trying to use fglrx would have been the problem, as fglrx does not support that model | 02:31 |
| erixn | What you mean? I disabled fglrx, and did some edit in xorg.conf to install ATI Radeon Driver | 02:32 |
| erixn | I got a backup of my xorg.conf but dont I need to enable fglrx again? | 02:33 |
| crdlb | erixn: that 'ATI Radeon Driver' you installed is fglrx | 02:33 |
| erixn | Hmm, Im confused | 02:33 |
| erixn | Is it possible to talk to you over PM crdlb? | 02:33 |
| pajamian | sorry _2 got sidetracked ... you wanted the command to install build dependancies for a package? | 02:33 |
| crdlb | erixn: I'd rather do it here. Restore that backup and see if it at least gets you out of low graphics mode | 02:34 |
| erixn | Yes, ok. Thank you very much. Ill be back, gonna restore the backup and restart the comp. | 02:34 |

| jmichelsen_ | Efreak: /home/username/.firefox | 02:42 |
| _2 | sorry -d | 02:43 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: Alright, I don't know, I have never OEMed before | 02:43 |
| taxman | hi all, dumb question that didn't seem to be answered in the docs I saw. Is the server iso a livecd at all or just an installer? I need an ultrasparc livecd | 02:43 |
| jmichelsen_ | Gnea: checked, pretty silent there, thought id try here as well | 02:43 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview is a kinda walk through, just old. | 02:43 |
| Gnea | Efreak: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile> | 02:43 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: Still valid though | 02:43 |
| Efreak | ty | 02:43 |
| Nutzebahn | Hello. I would like to have voice conversations with MSN in Ubuntu, how can I? | 02:44 |
| hal_v2 | Oooh! I have a new problem to be annoying about! My laptop screen (hp pavilion dv2000) is darker than usual. Kinda like it's trying to save power, but it's connected to the wall so I don't get it. | 02:44 |
| taxman | Nutzebahn: sudo aptitude install amsn | 02:44 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: When you OEM, on startup you see custom message asking you for a new user? | 02:44 |
| erixn | Ok. I read a guide on how to Compiz Fuzion. And it says that I can find my graphic driver in here: Administration > Hardware Drivers. But it's nothing there. | 02:44 |
| Nutzebahn | I can't have voice conversations in aMSN, taxman. | 02:44 |
| taxman | really? | 02:44 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: After the oem (that's you) runs "sudo oem-config-prepare" | 02:44 |
| taxman | oh, then maybe it's not possible yet. Empathy is supposed to be able to do that soon if not now | 02:45 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: So I have a shell before the OEM | 02:45 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: The OEM installer gives you a temporary OEM user, you use oem to login and make changes (setting up drivers, wallpapers, etc) then sudo oem-config-prepare and then next boot it asks for the "real" users information | 02:45 |
| jmichelsen_ | Nutzebahn: try pidgin | 02:45 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: No, a full system | 02:45 |
| Nutzebahn | I can't do that in Pidgin either. | 02:45 |
| Thedjatclubrock | OK :) | 02:45 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: But I only have one shot | 02:46 |
| Nutzebahn | What about for AIM? | 02:46 |
| hal_v2 | Oooh! I have a new problem to be annoying about! My laptop screen (hp pavilion dv2000) is darker than usual. Kinda like it's trying to save power, but it's connected to the wall so I don't get it. | 02:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nutzebahn: pidgin | 02:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | !info pidgin | Nutzebahn | 02:46 |
| KarmaRogue | Pidgin is great | 02:46 |
| ubottu | nutzebahn: pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1 (hardy), package size 505 kB, installed size 1856 kB | 02:46 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: This is all after you've installed, there's no image for it there, but there is a paragraph, saying "after doing the necessary changes...." | 02:46 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: No, you have until you run oem-config-prepare | 02:46 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: After that, I can not log in as root again? | 02:46 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: We had a user a few years back who didn't know, and was running as the oem user. | 02:46 |
| Thedjatclubrock | OEM rather | 02:46 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: You've never logged in sa root | 02:47 |
| Thedjatclubrock | ^^ | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nutzebahn: pidgin signs on to multiple IM clients, all at the same time, from one program(if you're familiar w/ Trillian on Windows.. think of it as Trillian on steroids) | 02:47 |
| erixn | I'm following a guide on how to install compiz fusion, and it says that I can find my graphic card driver in here: Administration > Hardware Drivers. It's nothing there.. | 02:47 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: once you run oem-config-prepare, the oem user is deleted | 02:47 |
| Nutzebahn | IndyGunFreak: Pidgin does not support voice, I use it already. I want to be able to have voice conversations, how? | 02:47 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: But the preferences (wallpaper, etc) get moved to the new user that gets created on first boot | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nutzebahn: depends on what service you use. | 02:47 |
| teratoma_ | Nutzebahn: skype! | 02:47 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: Alright, do I need the Disc in at that time. | 02:47 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: No | 02:47 |
| Nutzebahn | Service? | 02:47 |
| hal_v2 | Oooh! I have a new problem to be annoying about! My laptop screen (hp pavilion dv2000) is darker than usual. Kinda like it's trying to save power, but it's connected to the wall so I don't get it. | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nutzebahn: AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc. | 02:47 |
| Nutzebahn | I want to talk to MSN users on voice. | 02:47 |
| Nutzebahn | MSN and AIM. | 02:47 |
| Thedjatclubrock | hal_v2: Try a brightness setting? | 02:48 |
| hal_v2 | I can't find it. :( | 02:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nutzebahn: yo might try aMSN.. but i'm not sure. | 02:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | AIM, you're probably hit | 02:48 |
| Nutzebahn | It can't do that. | 02:48 |
| candive | Trillian on steroids? shhhh the olympics | 02:48 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Hehe | 02:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:48 |
| hal_v2 | Where is brightness settings? | 02:48 |
| Efreak | ok | 02:48 |
| Efreak | ... | 02:48 |
| _2 | speaking of. is there a command to turn the backlight off on a lappy ? console command ? | 02:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | hal_v2: you can add the brightness applet to the panel, see if that helps | 02:49 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: Thanks for the help ") | 02:49 |
| hal_v2 | kk | 02:49 |
| taxman | Nutzebahn: I think it might just not be possible yet. msn makes it pretty hard to interoperate with them | 02:49 |
| hal_v2 | Perfection! <3 thanks sir. | 02:49 |
| taxman | Nutzebahn: look into empathy though | 02:49 |

| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 02:50 |
| erixn | I'm following a guide on how to install compiz fusion, and it says that I can find my graphic card driver in here: Administration > Hardware Drivers. It's nothing there.. | 02:50 |
| Gnea | erixn: what video card? | 02:51 |
| erixn | ATI Radeon 9200 | 02:51 |
| Efreak | I had ubuntu installed, and after I installed kubuntu-desktop, i opened firefox under kde (same user as in gnome). Now the open tab looks exactly the same as the closed tabs, which means that if I have multiple tabs with the same name open, I don't know which one is open. | 02:51 |
| Efreak | does anyone know how to fix this? | 02:51 |
| uoaphys | can someone help me setup a bridged network for a virtual machine? the instructions I found on the web seem pretty crappy, and breaks networkmanager, and other parts of the distro | 02:51 |
| uoaphys | is there a way to hook up a bridge without breaking the network manager? | 02:51 |
| jmichelsen_ | Im having VM issues. Using vmware server on xubuntu, when I launch a vm it just closes. dmesg tells me somethin about vmmon: Had to deallocate AWE 817 pages from vm driver dc2c4000 | 02:51 |
| Gnea | !radeon | erixn | 02:51 |
| ubottu | erixn: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:51 |
| erixn | Ok. I'll check it out, thanks. | 02:51 |
| candive | erixn, system, Preferences, appearance, Visual effects | 02:52 |
| taxman | uoaphys: bridged networking in vm's is just pretty hard as I understand it | 02:52 |
| taxman | ok all, is the server iso a livecd? | 02:52 |
| rustychicken | how do i create a password-protected zip archive? | 02:52 |
| uoaphys | tax; not to bridge the VM's together, I'm talking about bridging a VM to the standard network | 02:52 |
| Gnea | rustychicken: -e | 02:52 |
| Nutzebahn | taxman: Could you link me to Empathy's website? | 02:53 |
| taxman | never had reason to use it and I don't want to dl 600mb just to check | 02:53 |
| uoaphys | its pretty straightforward in the instructions, except that it forces you to hardcode the network setup files, and thus breaks networkmanager | 02:53 |
| uoaphys | 'so is there a way to do it with network manager? | 02:53 |
| Gnea | taxman: yes. | 02:53 |
| Gnea | taxman: and bridging vm's is a piece of cake. | 02:53 |
| taxman | Gnea: except the instructions suck for it and make it sound like the most difficult thing on the planet. 18 hoops | 02:54 |
| rustychicken | thanks Gnea | 02:54 |
| taxman | Gnea: would it be safe to assume the 7.10 sparc64 server iso is live as well? | 02:54 |
| LordFDisk | is there a program that will cache, links to files and and missing packages? | 02:55 |
| LordFDisk | oops clean | 02:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what's faster/less memory expensive fluxbox or jwm? | 02:56 |
| _2 | taxman technelly all install disks are "live" but by modern definition of "live cd" no. server install is not "live" it has no gui and a cd must run a gui to qualify under modern def. | 02:56 |
| Snares | anyone here use chatzilla? | 02:56 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flux is bettr | 02:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i installed fluxbox on ubuntu and i'm lñiking how fast it is but i don't know how to add desktop icons | 02:56 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Snares: Me | 02:56 |
| bobertdos | LordFDisk: Some techniques for doing that sort of clean up is to use apt-get clean/autoclean and also when there are residual packages to deal with, Synaptic can sweep those up. | 02:56 |
| candive | LordFDisk, yes remove orphaned | 02:56 |
| joker_ | how come I get a hardwarer driver problem when I installed ubuntu. | 02:56 |
| Thedjatclubrock | joker_: What is the problem | 02:57 |
| taxman | _2: console live is fine, I just need something more than a straight installer. I need to be able to work with what's on the system already. Is it live in that sense at least? | 02:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Thedjadclubrock: how do i set desktop icons on fluxbox? i went ot hte fluxbox chat but didn't see anyone who's using it on ubuntu and i can't seem to see a fluxbox folder at hte home | 02:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | joker_: logic says, you have a hardware problem | 02:57 |
| LordFDisk | thank you guys | 02:57 |
| bobertdos | LordFDisk: also--what cadive said, but do that with caution | 02:57 |
| jmichelsen_ | I have a NTFS disk attached internally and all the files on it have inproper size readings from within Thunar. Is there a way to fix that? | 02:57 |
| LordFDisk | witch one should I do ? | 02:58 |
| joker_ | When I installed it it tells me proprietary driver are being used to make this computer work Atheros wire land card and access layer HAL | 02:58 |
| joker_ | After booting it is not there but when I installed it it was | 02:58 |
| bobertdos | LordFDisk: I'd try all of the above, actually. Just be careful with orphaned packages, sometimes removing those removes ones you don't necessarily want removed. | 02:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | joker_: well, what atheros driver are you trying to install? | 02:58 |
| pyrex | alright, ubuntu partitioning software failed while it was resizing my disk for an install. Now i cannot repair my mbr. | 02:59 |
| Thedjatclubrock | joker_: System>Admin>Hardware Drivers | 02:59 |
| _2 | taxman as i said. you can, it's live. but not in the modern sense. | 02:59 |
| pyrex | because vista disk cannot see any valid installations | 02:59 |

| sotamanga | Dear Gnea, I didnt find anything about how to obtain a wpa_supplicant.conf. Ive reinstalled the wpa_supplicant from the deb package, but the file didnt appear | 03:04 |
| jeefers | :saikyo78 what wifi card do you have | 03:04 |
| saikyo78 | thank you! broadcom | 03:05 |
| xal2 | Hi | 03:05 |
| saikyo78 | i'm following this guide | 03:05 |
| saikyo78 | http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ | 03:05 |
| xal2 | I am having trouble getting VLC to produce audio when playing an MP3 file | 03:05 |
| saikyo78 | for some reason i get stopped on the last step | 03:05 |
| xal2 | in fact none of my applications will play mp3 despite having installed the codecs | 03:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: is it just not playing them? | 03:05 |
| xal2 | VLC actually moves the bar to "play them" | 03:06 |
| xal2 | but the other apps do not | 03:06 |
| tiggers | How do you ask the ubuntu bot a question again? | 03:06 |
| erixn | How do I change every instance of "xserver-xorg-driver-ati" with "xserver-xorg-video-ati"? | 03:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: do you get any errors when you get errors w/ the other programs | 03:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | !msgthebot | Tigge | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Tigge: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 03:06 |

| xal2 | It just sits there not playing the file | 03:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: do you get sound, other than from mp3s? | 03:07 |

| hosified | anyone know how to fix slow transfer speeds on an external usb hard drive? I'm only getting 12MB/s....the device shows up as highspeed in dmesg | 03:09 |
| erixn | What you mean "in what"? | 03:09 |
| saikyo78 | i've gotten wireless to work OK before with linux on this | 03:09 |
| saikyo78 | but for some reason it's not going this time | 03:09 |
| xal2 | actually no | 03:09 |
| xal2 | I only get systems sounds and sound from Flash player | 03:09 |
| crdlb | erixn: xserver-xorg-driver-ati was renamed to xserver-xorg-video-ati a long time ago; so what are you trying to do exactly? | 03:09 |
| erixn | Im following a guide | 03:10 |
| pajamian | saikyo78: ahhh, ok, I have a gateway 6020 laptop and have had no problems with the broadcom wireless in ubuntu. | 03:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: sounds like you're having a pulse audio problem | 03:10 |
| Athen | is there a way via a command to open a program in another workspace ? | 03:10 |
| candive | Who Needs TV haha. Chow | 03:10 |
| xal2 | I switched VLC to use pulse audio | 03:10 |
| orb360 | erixn: run a find command with no args in your root... Then pipe the results into xargs and use that to run sed to change the string... every instance of it will be replaced on your system... Dangerous? yes... Fun? also yes! | 03:10 |
| ari_stress | erixn: maybe booting into rescue mode, there you can reconfigure the X into default mode again | 03:10 |
| crdlb | erixn: if the guide mentions xserver-xorg-driver-ati, then it's really out of date | 03:10 |

| ari_stress | uoaphys: sudo nautilus | 03:12 |

| IndyGunFreak | !gksudo | ari_stress | 03:12 |
| ubottu | ari_stress: 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) | 03:12 |
| xal2 | so close it or uninstall it? | 03:12 |
| pajamian | saikyo78: All I did was go into the restricted drivers manager and enable the wireless through there. It had to download and install the firmware but it was all straight forward and automated. | 03:12 |
| ari_stress | ok ubottu | 03:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol, now they're spamming the channels | 03:13 |
| saikyo78 | really i'll try that too, i'm going to finish this new guide and if it doesn't work i'll try that | 03:13 |

| pajamian | saikyo78: of course you will need an internet connection when it does so, so you'll need to plug in via the ethernet port, just temporarily. | 03:13 |
| saikyo78 | it's ok i'm actually on ethernet right now | 03:14 |

| dunas | Question. | 03:14 |
| xal2 | IndyGunFreak, , what do i need to do to fix the problem? | 03:14 |
| crdlb | erixn: so it's working | 03:14 |
| erixn | Hmm | 03:14 |
| dunas | Is it possible for #ubuntu to provide help for Linux Mint, since it's based on Ubuntu? The #linuxmint channel isn't exactly active. | 03:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: i switched everything over to alsa.. and have had no problems since | 03:14 |
| erixn | This it what is says in my xorg.conf - Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 03:14 |
| xal2 | so i just switch vlc to using alsa and the problem should be solved? | 03:15 |
| ari_stress | typedestereo: depends, on mine: sudo cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature | 03:15 |
| pajamian | dunas: stricly speaking no, but if you ask a question maybe someone will be able to help. | 03:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | dunas: sometimes, just don't tell anyone you're using mint, or they'll send you away | 03:15 |
| crdlb | erixn: the identifier is just for matching the device section to the screen section; it has no meaning except as an identifier | 03:15 |
| xal2 | okay that did the trick | 03:15 |
| xal2 | so pretty much | 03:15 |
| waey | em hi | 03:15 |
| xal2 | pulse doesn't work? | 03:15 |
| erixn | Ah, thanks. | 03:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: it works, just kinda buggy.. you'll also want to change pidgins sound prefs, from "auto".. to "alsa".. otherwise it will keep trying to use pulse for some reason | 03:16 |
| xal2 | oO | 03:16 |
| dunas | IndyGunFreak, pajamian: Thanks. | 03:16 |
| waey | why when using pidgin, if for Yahoo account, i just can talk with who in my list contact, cannot enter chatroom | 03:16 |
| waey | ? | 03:16 |
| xal2 | So does it actually have advantages over alsa? | 03:16 |
| saikyo78 | i'm sorry, this might be a dumb question, but where can i find "restricted drivers" | 03:16 |

| IndyGunFreak | xal2: i imagine it does.... but what those are, i really don't know, Alsa is fine w/ me | 03:17 |
| xal2 | same | 03:17 |
| xal2 | I never had problems with alsa | 03:17 |
| ari_stress | saikyo78: it's in System | 03:17 |
| crdlb | xal2: yes, there are many potential ones at least | 03:17 |
| pyrex | is there a way for me to restore a vista after a failed manual partitioning? | 03:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | xal2: well, there you go, would you rather drive a chevy that was dependable, and never broke down, or a porsche that you couldn't get to the end of the block w/o a problem? | 03:17 |
| waey | why using pidgin cannot enter chatroom like yahoo account? | 03:17 |
| crdlb | xal2: ie. it's a good idea, but it probably shouldn't have been enabled by default yet | 03:18 |
| quilby | how do i start an svn rep on my comp (i have subversion installed) | 03:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | pyrex: did you make a set of recovery CDs before messing with it? | 03:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | crdlb: that was my understanding on it, when it finally works right, it will be great, but it was rushed into hardy, prolly shoulda been held off till ibex | 03:18 |
| xal2 | hmm | 03:18 |
| xal2 | well thank you for the solution | 03:19 |
| saikyo78 | I have "hardware drivers" but no restricted drivers under system--administration | 03:19 |
| xal2 | because i didn't have much luck in my searches, although, i thought avi was working for some reason, so my search wasn't as general as it should have been | 03:19 |

But i can't do that because the new one has no space left for another drive, so how do i connect them together and backup my files? | 03:23 |

| saikyo78 | ok so now it's starting to make more sense, the last part of the guide i was originally following was installing the package for hte fwcutter | 03:27 |
| saikyo78 | that's where i was getting hung up | 03:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | pajamian: I don't know for sure, I try and avoid Broadcom wireless where I can. However, it does seem to be the case from what I've noticed here. | 03:27 |
| ari_stress | Scorp_: u need permission to do that | 03:27 |
| Scorp_ | ari_stress: How do i set those permissions for the current user ??? | 03:27 |

| rand0m- | yo anyone ever have an issue with trying to save changes in openoffice and it not saving changes? (ie: resulting in sending retarded-looking, half-finished resumes) | 03:49 |
| Pelo | Flannel, still , it means I'll hve to be in there for at least a minute | 03:49 |
| pajamian | amicrawler: it doesn't show you anything? can you see options for different connection types? or at least, "manual configuration"? | 03:49 |
| amicrawler | yes | 03:49 |
| amicrawler | i can | 03:49 |
| pajamian | amicrawler: what does it say, anything other than manual configuration? | 03:50 |
| ganymede | is there a way to log into a user automatically via gdm on startup but then lock the screen directly afterwords, so a password is still needed to use gnome? i don't recall seeing that option in the gdm configuration in gnome-control-center. | 03:50 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo, I've been getting them too | 03:50 |
| amicrawler | guess i fixed it | 03:50 |

| madagascar | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 03:51 |
| VipOrX | ganymede: under security in administration, login window, security you can auto login, then maybe set screensaver to come on within 5 seconds and requiring a password | 03:52 |
| rand0m- | yo anyone ever have an issue with trying to save changes in openoffice and it not saving changes? (ie: resulting in sending retarded-looking, half-finished resumes) | 03:52 |

| VipOrX | System, Administration, Login Window, Security, enable automatic login | 03:53 |
| ganymede | VipOrX: how should i startup screensaver in five seconds? add it to my session startup? but then it'll be locked even when i log in manually | 03:53 |
| ganymede | VipOrX: i got the automatic log in part figured out, but not the lock screen part | 03:54 |
| lukehasnoname | How can I edit mp3 tags? I can't do it through GNOME/ Nautilus? | 03:54 |
| VipOrX | system, preferences, screensaver, have screensaver start after 5 seconds of idle, and require password when not idle maybe | 03:54 |
| Pelo | lukehasnoname, try easytag | 03:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | !info easytag | lukehasnoname | 03:55 |
| ubottu | lukehasnoname: easytag (source: easytag): viewing, editing and writing ID3 tags. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.4-1 (hardy), package size 963 kB, installed size 3076 kB | 03:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | lukehasnoname: easytag really is the way to go.. its great for that. | 03:55 |
| VipOrX | when your at the computer, turn screensaver off | 03:55 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | is there an irc channel for ubuntu translators? | 03:56 |
| ganymede | VipOrX: that seems like a suboptimal solution, especially considering many other distros have an option to log in automatically and lock the screen, so maybe the GUI just isn't exposing the option | 03:56 |
| lukehasnoname | hmmm. I'll check it out. I mean, I can edit it through Exaile (individual tracks) but (don't kick me for this) in Windows you can edit ID3 tags through the properties of the file. | 03:56 |
| Pelo | xgfhsdgfhsd, I don't think there are any translators for ubuntu specificaly, language support is app related as far as I know , for gnome or specific apps | 03:56 |
| VipOrX | there probably is a more optimal solution, just don't know of one | 03:57 |
| VipOrX | maybe there is an option using gconf-editor | 03:57 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | well I downloaded and edited a rather large .PO file, now I cannot find anywhere to send this file | 03:58 |
| LSD|Ninja | maybe a PO box :P | 03:58 |
| Flannel | xgfhsdgfhsd: Isn't that done via rosetta? | 03:58 |
| LSD|Ninja | ...sorry | 03:58 |
| Pelo | xgfhsdgfhsd, what language and app ? | 03:58 |
| lukehasnoname | xgfhsdgfhsd, #ubuntu-translators | 03:59 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | language: en_CA app: xulrunner 1.9 source | 03:59 |

| webman | Pelo: you mean xulrunner ... | 04:00 |

| ffenec | i wonder what is the best ubuntu version? | 04:01 |
| f4hy | What do you all recommend for a gnome IRC client | 04:01 |
| Thedjatclubrock | ffenec: Hardy! | 04:01 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | then I click on English (Canada) | 04:01 |
| ffenec | because i am not that happy with my feisty | 04:01 |
| Thedjatclubrock | f4hy: Kvirc, Xchat | 04:01 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | there is a download, but no upload | 04:01 |

| ffenec | hardy is a beta version | 04:01 |
| Pelo | f4hy, xchat , not xchat-gnome | 04:02 |
| Thedjatclubrock | ffenec: No it is LTS | 04:02 |
| Pelo | ffenec, hardy is final, ibex is in alpha | 04:02 |
| ffenec | ij | 04:02 |
| ffenec | ok | 04:02 |
| ffenec | thanks | 04:02 |
| f4hy | Thedjatclubrock, I am on xchat right now and seems low on features. | 04:02 |
| Legendario | Look. I have this second hd on my old pc which is mounted as my /home folder on it. What i wanna do is partition my new hardrive and copy all the stuff on this old hd to the new partition to mount it again as my /home folder and so, keep all my configuration. Will i be able to do it if i connect both network cards and use the nfs? Can anyone tell me that? | 04:02 |
| f4hy | Pelo, what do you mean not xchat-gnome | 04:02 |
| VipOrX | f4hy: mIRC works perfect under wine | 04:02 |
| webman | Legendario: probably better to avoid NFS, but yes, you could do it that way... | 04:03 |
| Pelo | f4hy, in the repos there are two versions of xchat , xchat-gnome which most ppl hate and regular-vanila xchat which most love | 04:03 |
| f4hy | VipOrX, Thanks but I would prefer an F/OSs client | 04:03 |
| Pelo | f4hy, check the about screen to know which on you have | 04:03 |
| Thedjatclubrock | f4hy: KvIRC is ok | 04:03 |

| Legendario | why avoid nfs, webman? | 04:03 |
| scribawf | !wtfworks | 04:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wtfworks | 04:03 |
| f4hy | Pelo, ahh yes i have the gnome one, alright ill look into the vanilla one | 04:04 |
| gaspipe1 | lil issue I have... | 04:04 |
| Pelo | gaspipe1, just state the problem | 04:04 |
| f4hy | Thanks all! | 04:04 |
| gaspipe1 | I have a dual boot system (ubuntu and xp), seems I'm having issues booting xp... (go figure) | 04:04 |
| webman | Legendario: I think the best method is something like this (but syntax is likely all wrong, so check it out first) tar -Cvf - /home | nc ... and on the other machine do a nc ... | tar -xvf - | 04:04 |
| gaspipe1 | anyway i want to copy some files I have on that (xp) partition via ubuntu | 04:05 |
| Pelo | gaspipe1, is xp on the same hdd ? what is the nature of the problem , please make your next statement as complete as possible | 04:05 |
| webman | Legendario: basically avoid nfs because if you don't need it, then there is little point in going to the trouble of setting it all up just for a one time transfer of data.... | 04:05 |

| Pelo | gaspipe1, sudo mkdir /media/WIN && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/??? /media/WIN | 04:06 |
| lenswipe | Seriously wtf is tthe point of joining an IRC channel then not chatting and going AFK? | 04:06 |

| lenswipe | i have problems | 04:06 |
| lenswipe | samba wont let me add users | 04:07 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know why? | 04:07 |
| hwilde | !samba | lenswipe | 04:07 |
| ubottu | lenswipe: 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. | 04:07 |
| pkchu | lenswipe: if i did not remember wrongly, the users you want to set a samba password for must already be users on your local machine | 04:07 |
| Pelo | gaspipe1, /dev/sda1 will probably the devtree for your windows partiton then | 04:07 |

| dmsuperman | For some reason torrentflux didn't setup it's database | 04:09 |

| dmsuperman | How can I setup the database to be ready for torrentflux | 04:09 |

| Thedjatclubrock | Does OEM transpher all the /home/oem to the main acct | 04:10 |
| Thedjatclubrock | transfer* | 04:10 |
| webman | do you have ssh server installed on one of the machines ? | 04:10 |
| Pelo | Thedjatclubrock, oem does not setup any accouint , it waits until the first official user logs in as far as I know | 04:10 |
| Pelo | !away | Thedjatclubrock | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Thedjatclubrock: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 04:10 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Pelo: But it first logs in as OEM | 04:10 |
| Flannel | Pelo: It sets up an oem account, which gets removed | 04:11 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: I believe it does, but can't say for sure. | 04:11 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Flannel: Thank you. | 04:11 |
| Flannel | Thedjatclubrock: I believe it removes oem, and re-adds a user with the same UID | 04:11 |

| ubottu | ffenec: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 04:21 |
| Pelo | ffenec, if you don'T have a lot of customisation done, just backup your /home folder to a seperate partion and clean install hardy from cd , it will be quicker | 04:22 |
| f4hy | Pelo, ya right there with you. Just finished a huge project where I broke grub 100 times, now I feel empty without a problem | 04:22 |
| Flannel | ffenec: We could upgrade manually if you want. | 04:22 |
| gaspipe1 | Pelo: says that it's in use by windows.... will shut dwn then power up again | 04:22 |
| ffenec | how | 04:22 |
| ffenec | ? | 04:22 |
| hwilde | ffenec, it would be faster to backup your stuff and install 8.04 from the cd anyways. | 04:22 |
| plouffe | I downloaded a mp3 to my desktop, then I copied it to another disk, suddenly it starts playing in totem (but no GUI visible) and I cannot kill it even using sudo kill -9 pid. What the heck is that? | 04:22 |
| Gnea | hwilde: fiesty *can* upgrade directly to hardy. | 04:23 |
| ffenec | it the 8.04 stable? | 04:23 |
| dmsuperman | I'm trying to build transmission from source, but it keeps saying I need libcurl or that it's not in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH | 04:23 |
| Gnea | ffenec: yes, in fact it's 8.04.1 now | 04:23 |
| hwilde | Gnea, I stand by whatI said. | 04:23 |
| Flannel | ffenec: install ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, linux-generic. then make sure you're up to date (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade), making sure you have feisty-updates enabled, then switch your sources.list to gutsy, and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:23 |
| m1xed | hwilde, and if you attempt to upgrade it **might** crash, so make sure you back up all your settings | 04:23 |
| Gnea | hwilde: not saying you're wrong, it's a good fallback plan. | 04:23 |
| Flannel | Gnea: no, feisty can't upgrade to hardy directly. | 04:23 |
| hwilde | Gnea, look at his attitude. point him to livecd. end of story | 04:23 |
| Pelo | dmsuperman, why are you doing this ? transmission is installed by default ? | 04:23 |
| plouffe | the process shows up in system monitor as uninterruptible | 04:23 |
| f4hy | Pelo, so what was your question? :P | 04:23 |
| ffenec | ok Flannel | 04:24 |
| ffenec | i am gonna take a shot | 04:24 |
| ffenec | thank you | 04:24 |
| hwilde | ffenec, it would be faster to backup your stuff and install 8.04 from the cd anyways. | 04:24 |
| Pelo | f4hy, I solved that problem a long time ago , I just needed to add the extra resolution I wanted to the xorg.conf file | 04:24 |
| m1xed | anyone knows of a File Manager that's similar to remond's explorer? | 04:24 |
| ffenec | alright i will try to do manually then if it doesnt work for me i will install 8.04 | 04:24 |
| ffenec | bye guys | 04:25 |
| Pelo | m1xed, go in the display seciton ofthe menu and add th side pannel | 04:25 |
| Gnea | Flannel: From 7.10 or 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS what? | 04:25 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo, I want transmission-daemon, so I can use the Clutch web GUI | 04:25 |
| Flannel | Gnea: You can only go from 6.06 to 8.04 | 04:25 |
| thurloat | Tuxu | 04:25 |
| Flannel | Gnea: (well, and then 7.10 to 8.04) | 04:25 |
| Pelo | m1xed, you can also go in menu > applications > add-remove and do a search on file manager | 04:25 |
| m1xed | Pelo, im currently using nautilus | 04:25 |
| Gnea | Flannel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS | 04:25 |
| Flannel | Gnea: Yes. Feisty is 7.04, which is neithe Dapper nor Gutsy. | 04:26 |
| hwilde | Gnea, Flannel, that would take hours to dl all those packages, three times | 04:26 |
| Pelo | m1xed, yes you can get side panel in nautilus, what feature of explorer are you wanting anyway ? | 04:26 |
| hwilde | best just get the cd | 04:26 |
| Flannel | hwilde: Twice you mean. | 04:26 |
| m1xed | Pelo, I already did that, I installed all the ones I saw there and none are able to either view all my hard drives or they wont allow me to pick more than one file at the same time | 04:26 |
| Gnea | ...ok, guess i have the birthday blues then | 04:26 |
| m1xed | Pelo, all I want to do is to be able to grab more than one mp3 at the same time and then drag it to an mp3 player | 04:27 |
| hwilde | m1xed, hold control or shift | 04:27 |
| pretender | i am having trouble setting up citrix client on hardy does anyone have a script file for the install or an easy method of installing citrix ica client on citrix on hardy | 04:27 |
| dmsuperman | I'm trying to build transmission from source, but it keeps saying I need libcurl or that it's not in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH | 04:27 |
| Flannel | !repeat | dmsuperman | 04:27 |
| ubottu | dmsuperman: 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 | 04:27 |
| Pelo | m1xed, to select multiple files use the control and shift key when you click , and drives in linux aren't like in windows, in linux , partions are mounted just like anyother folders , you won'T see drives | 04:27 |
| m1xed | hwilde, right so now I have to click all of the files, in konqueror i can use the mouse | 04:28 |
| Pelo | dmsuperman, maybe you need a transmission channel | 04:28 |
| f4hy | m1xed, ctrl clicking mutilpule files will highlight them and then dracking one of them should work. Dragging files into an MP3 client will be supported differently based on client | 04:28 |
| jrib | dmsuperman: so install the -dev package for libcurl | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | jrib, did | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo, I asked in there almost an hour ago | 04:28 |
| m1xed | Pelo, i mean that I can view my partitions in nautilus but I can't see them using konqueror | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo, there hasn't been one thing said | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo, so I'm trying to see if somebody here knows | 04:28 |
| jrib | dmsuperman: sudo apt-get build-dep transmission | 04:28 |
| hwilde | dmsuperman, install libcurl already | 04:29 |
| Pelo | dmsuperman, try asking in ##linux as well, they probably know how to fix compilation problem btter then ubuntu users | 04:29 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, i just built transmission from source yesterday what was the problem? | 04:29 |
| russK | I'm locked out of a fresh install inside Windows --- any way to add a user/password to ubuntu or change root password from Windows? | 04:29 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, when I run ./configure it complains libcurl isn't found or PKG_CONFIG_PATH doesn't contain it | 04:29 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, install libcurl-dev | 04:29 |
| jesse_ | hello? | 04:29 |
| dmsuperman | jrib, I'm building it from source, not the package, I want transmission-daemon | 04:30 |
| plouffe | this is a fucking joke, it's hogging up my CPU | 04:30 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, sudo aptitude install libcurl-dev should fix the problem | 04:30 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, hwilde, I already have it installed | 04:30 |
| m1xed | f4hy, so I have to ctrl-click all of the files?? LoL In Konqueror I can highlight them all using the mouse and then just drag them to the mp3 player playlist | 04:30 |
| Pelo | ok I'm out for the night, don't stay up to late guys | 04:30 |
| hwilde | dmsuperman, echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH | 04:30 |
| kevinO | !language | plouffe | 04:30 |
| ubottu | plouffe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:30 |
| jesse_ | hey | 04:30 |
| m1xed | Pelo, have a good night! | 04:30 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, could you give me the output of `whereis libcurl` | 04:30 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, empty | 04:31 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, libcurl: /usr/lib/libcurl.la /usr/lib/libcurl.a /usr/lib/libcurl.so /usr/share/man/man3/libcurl.3.gz | 04:31 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, are you on 64 or 32 bit UBUNTU | 04:31 |
| hwilde | I don't think PKG_CONFIG_PATH should be empty for you | 04:31 |
| dmsuperman | 32 bit gutsy | 04:31 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, it is though | 04:31 |
| hyperair | hwilde, actually it is | 04:32 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Hello? | 04:32 |
| hwilde | well then his error message is correct, it's not in PKG_CONFIG_PATH | 04:32 |
| raspac | Hi. Can any 1 help me, with installing VMware Tools in Ubuntu 8.04. I dont know how to run or make. The file in .tar.gz and the files inside in .pl | 04:32 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, getdeb has a .deb of the newest version of transmission if thats all your looking for http://www.getdeb.net/app/Transmission | 04:32 |
| jrib | hwilde: that just gives you a way of telling it to look somewhere non-standard. It shouldn't have to be set | 04:32 |
| Thedjatclubrock | raspac: perl *.pl | 04:32 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, I want transmission-daemon | 04:32 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, which isn't included in the normal transmission package | 04:33 |

| Thedjatclubrock | raspac: Oh | 04:33 |
| raspac | Thedjatclubrock: I am new | 04:33 |
| Thedjatclubrock | raspac: Go to Apps>Acc>Terminal and enter that command in the vm directory | 04:33 |
| dmsuperman | jrib, alright, I ran that but it only installed doc related packages | 04:34 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, ya I have clutch and the deamon install when I compiled from source, not sure why yours isnt working, have you asked in the transmission channel? | 04:34 |
| raspac | Thedjatclubrock: I unzipped the tar.gz to /home/raspac/ | 04:34 |
| f4hy | dmsuperman, #transmission is the offical chanel for transmission. charles is often in there | 04:34 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, yeah, not a word's been said since I asked an hour ago | 04:34 |
| raspac | Thedjatclubrock: I went to terminal and wrote cd Vmware-tools | 04:34 |
| dmsuperman | f4hy, charles_ told me to go in there earlier | 04:35 |
| hwilde | dmsuperman, you did sudo apt-get build-dep transmission ? | 04:35 |
| dmsuperman | nobody's there | 04:35 |
| Thedjatclubrock | raspac: No give the command perl *.pl | 04:35 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, yes | 04:35 |
| raspac | Thedjatclubrock: the is vmware-install.pl | 04:35 |

| dmsuperman | hyperair, libcurl.pc | 04:36 |
| hyperair | hmm it should be there | 04:36 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, same thing, configure still says libcurl missing | 04:36 |
| f4hy | raspac, it is really easy to install VMWare, you can just install it from synaptic | 04:37 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, pkg-config --libs libcurl | 04:37 |
| MrHoisington | I have a question | 04:37 |

| raspac | f4hy: I am runing WinXp pro as Host and ubuntu as guest. | 04:38 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, this is just darn strange. pkg-config looks in /usr/lib/pkg-config by default | 04:38 |
| hyperair | i mean /usr/lib/pkgconfig | 04:38 |
| raspac | let me try the perl thing | 04:38 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Does anyone know why I have no audio in DVDs but I have other Audio | 04:39 |
| hwilde | Thedjatclubrock, close all your programs then only open the dvd | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, every time I do that it switches between libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libcurl4-ssl-dev (or whichever those 2 are) | 04:39 |
| raspac | Thedjatclubrock: Download Codec Pack I guess | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, it'll remove the current one and install the other | 04:39 |
| hwilde | Thedjatclubrock, turn off your away message if you want help | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | hyperair, you're telling me :P | 04:39 |
| hwilde | dmsuperman, sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev | 04:39 |
| skygenetic | i am new to ubuntu , just want to make sure one thing , while i install ubuntu in window | 04:40 |
| Kenthree | I'm using Samba server to share a folder; from the client machines I can run/copy files from two of the three subfolders. But the files from one of the subfolders are access denied ( a multipart rar). Any idea why this discrimination? | 04:40 |
| dmsuperman | hwilde, that's the one it's about to install now | 04:40 |
| jrib | dmsuperman: libcurl4-gnutls-dev is what you need... If I remove it, I get your error | 04:40 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, okay do this: pkg-config --debug --libs libcurl | 04:40 |
| MrHoisington | So is it possibleThat ubuntu can be able to run windows applications ? | 04:40 |
| dmsuperman | jrib, just installed it, same libcurl error | 04:40 |

| dmsuperman | hyperair, http://pastebin.com/d792e8df1 | 04:41 |
| hyperair | jrib, libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev provide libcurl-dev and conflict with each other. if you have /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc then you have eithero ne of them installed | 04:41 |
| skygenetic | anyone help me | 04:41 |
| dmsuperman | jrib, transmission, from source, 1.32 | 04:41 |
| hyperair | heh. i thought so | 04:42 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Gxine works, others fail, Ideas? | 04:42 |
| hwilde | how did you get up to 1.32 | 04:42 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, did you compile your pkg-config package from source or something? | 04:42 |
| hwilde | from svn ? | 04:42 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, where did you get your pkg-config package from? | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | hyperair, nope, aptitude | 04:42 |

| legend2440 | raspac: be careful theres no getting the file back | 04:54 |

| dmsuperman | hyperair, "-lcurl -lgssapi_krb5 " | 05:00 |
| crdlb | hyperair: dmsuperman: that's just caused by bash caching the path | 05:00 |
| pins | will it help if i say i took out network-manager. | 05:01 |
| pins | i was following another tutorial. sudo apt-get remove network-manager | 05:01 |
| jrib | dmsuperman: 'hash -r' should make bash look again for pkg-config | 05:01 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, close your terminal, start another terminal and try pkg-config --libs libcurl in the new terminal | 05:02 |
| xtknight | :P | 05:02 |
| dmsuperman | jrib, cool, thanks | 05:02 |
| dmsuperman | hyperair, k, yeah, it gives me "-lcurl -lgssapi_krb5 " | 05:02 |
| Ozzie212 | I am having problems using the live ubuntu live cd. I am NOT able to login using normal mode. I have to login using graphics safe mode. Also I installed ubuntu but I am not able to login either | 05:02 |
| hyperair | pins, you've been trying to remove 4695. it's 4965 | 05:02 |
| xtknight | dab, what chipset are you using and is this a laptop? | 05:02 |
| crdlb | jrib: nice; I was wondering if there was something like that | 05:02 |
| hyperair | dmsuperman, now try running configure | 05:02 |
| raspac | Legend2440: Thanks. Another Question (please dont mind. Installing my first software on Ubuntu). | 05:02 |
| hyperair | pins it wont help if you took out networkmanager | 05:03 |
| pins | hyperair: i did not remove anything else other than that one up | 05:03 |
| dmsuperman | hyperair, it's passed that spot, seems to be going good :D | 05:03 |
| hyperair | pins the first thing is to get your wlan0 interface to show up | 05:03 |
| raspac | Legend2440: What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? | 05:03 |

Earlier i was watching youtube videos, then just browsing random news sites while listening to music via amarok... then I closed amarok and went back to trying to watch youtube videos, but now the videos won't play without the tracker bar being dragged along manually and of course - no sound.. can anyone give pretty descri | 05:04 |
| rand0m- | ptive instructions on what to do ? | 05:04 |
| skygenetic | anyone can help me | 05:04 |
| pins | what is my problem then? | 05:04 |
| hyperair | Gnea, _my_ wifi is working. led doesn't light up unless i upgrade to 2.6.27 and use the iwlagn driver | 05:04 |
| Gnea | rand0m-: that's pretty bizarre... hardy? | 05:04 |
| pins | No DHCPOFFERS received. | 05:04 |

| skygenetic | i cant view my other partition which i had been seperated ayone can help me | 05:05 |
| xtknight | pins, wireless? | 05:05 |
| Gnea | pins: have you found your laptop on one of the aforementioned sites? | 05:05 |
| jrib | abwhostw: have you recently run a recursive chmod on system files? | 05:05 |
| abwhostw | yeah but doesn't work | 05:06 |
| jrib | abwhostw: what did you run exactly? | 05:06 |
| jrib | !who | abwhostw | 05:06 |
| ubottu | abwhostw: 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 :) | 05:06 |

| Newbuntu2 | Can someone recommend good CVS server software that runs on linux & windows? | 05:06 |
| xtknight | pins, it's having trouble finding an access point. type "sudo iwlist scan" and see if you can identify any ...... | 05:06 |
| pins | xtknight: yes, wireless. intel4695abg card | 05:06 |
| kao_ | does anybody hear gloomy sunday before? | 05:07 |
| hyperair | pins, iwlist scan | 05:07 |
| hyperair | pins, are you sure your wireless isn't working? looks fine to me | 05:07 |
| xtknight | he's not associated with an AP | 05:07 |
| xtknight | and has no dhcp lease | 05:07 |
| Gnea | Newbuntu2: sudo apt-get install cvsd | 05:07 |
| hyperair | xtknight, meh. and all the while i thought he had an issue with the driver | 05:07 |
| Robinson_Crusoe | anyone familiar with "Access denied, unable to connect" XP to printer-on-samba ? | 05:08 |
| Gnea | kao_: hear what? | 05:08 |
| xtknight | hyperair, it could be, not until we rule out AP tho | 05:08 |
| kao_ | gloomy sunday | 05:08 |
| xtknight | hyperair, i mean mine constantly reassociates with the AP, some driver problem | 05:08 |
| pins | hyperair: wlan0 No scan results | 05:08 |
| hyperair | pins, are you confident your access point is on? | 05:08 |
| Gnea | kao_: what does that have to do with ubuntu? | 05:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Robinson_Crusoe: that is an XP problem - but yes | 05:08 |
| hyperair | if so, then do what i told you earlier | 05:08 |
| xtknight | hyperair, if your AP is not advertising itself, you can try manually typing in the MAC address of it (access point is in a router if you have that) | 05:08 |
| hyperair | pins, sudo rmmod iwl4965 | 05:08 |
| hyperair | pins, wait 30 seconds, | 05:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Robinson_Crusoe: You need a user account with a password to connect to a XP samba printer | 05:09 |
| xtknight | pins, sorry i meant you ^^ | 05:09 |
| hyperair | pins, sudo modprobe iwl4965 | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | err XP smb printer | 05:09 |
| hyperair | xtknight, i think it's a driver problem. i remember there was a time when my iwl4965 wouldn't scan and wouldn't associate | 05:09 |
| Robinson_Crusoe | Cpudan80: well, the weird part is XP can still send jobs and they print | 05:09 |
| xtknight | e.g. sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:11:22:33:44:55 | 05:09 |
| hyperair | i had to bring down the wireless for a while... | 05:09 |
| jrib | abwhostw: still with me? | 05:09 |
| kao_ | Gnea gloomy sunday just a song but is a crazy one i wanna try it but i can't find it | 05:09 |
| pins | hyperair: i am very confident it is on. | 05:09 |
| Robinson_Crusoe | Cpudan80: I just can't *see* or cancel the jobs it sent | 05:09 |
| hyperair | xtknight, i had to bring down the wireless for a while and turn it back on after 30 or so secs | 05:09 |
| abwhostw | yeah with u | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Right | 05:09 |
| pins | was using it before i wiped the lappy to install ubuntu. | 05:09 |
| xtknight | pins, hyperair, ya maybe a sudo modprobe -r driver_ && sudo modprobe driver will do it? | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Because you need to access the share with a user/pass | 05:10 |
| Cpudan80 | Not the guest account | 05:10 |
| Gnea | kao_: so go search google, that's offtopic | 05:10 |
| Cpudan80 | the account *must* have a password | 05:10 |
| guest9 | aloo | 05:10 |
| jrib | abwhostw: what chmod command did you run exactly? please prefix your response with my nick | 05:10 |
| abwhostw | how to do | 05:10 |
| hyperair | pins, sudo rmmod iwl4965 && sleep 45 && sudo modprobe iwl4965 | 05:10 |
| Cpudan80 | MS does some weird stuff to allow other MS machines to print over the guest account | 05:10 |
| pins | hyperair: sudo rmmod iwl4965 nothing happened. just a new line | 05:10 |
| hyperair | pins, copy it exactly, don't misspell it as 4695 this time | 05:10 |
| xtknight | that means a success | 05:10 |
| abwhostw | chomd root.root /ect/sudoers | 05:10 |
| hyperair | pins, that's exactly what's supposed to happen | 05:11 |
| djhash | abwhostw: just type first few letters.. press tab.. then add ur comment after... | 05:11 |
| hyperair | okay now wait 30 secs or so | 05:11 |
| jrib | abwhostw: that doesn't make sense. You ran something else | 05:11 |
| hyperair | maybe more | 05:11 |
| hyperair | and then run sudo modprobe iwl4965 | 05:11 |
| hyperair | then try iwlist scan | 05:11 |
| abwhostw | jrib u mean go to where | 05:12 |
| jrib | abwhostw: if you aren't sure what you ran, use your shell's history | 05:12 |
| CRASH69 | I need to connect to a vista/xp from ubuntu and viceversa, any reccomendation? (graphically) | 05:12 |
| pins | hyperair: modprobe gave me a new line. | 05:12 |
| pins | wlan0 No scan results | 05:13 |
| hyperair | pins, that's alright, it means it loaded successfully | 05:13 |
| abwhostw | -r--r----- 1 root root 470 2008-08-10 21:15 /etc/sudoers | 05:13 |
| xtknight | pins, get the MAC address of the access point and enter it manually? also, is there a wireless switch on your laptop if you're using a laptop???? | 05:13 |
| pins | let me reboot | 05:13 |
| pins | xtknight: yes there is a switch and it is on. | 05:13 |
| xtknight | toggle /retoggle that too i suppose | 05:14 |
| hyperair | xtknight, if the wireless switch is off, wlan0 doesn't exist | 05:14 |
| pins | the led is lit | 05:14 |
| djhash | crash69: remote desktop.. to connect to ubuntu from XP you can use TightVNC viewer... | 05:14 |
| Bodsda | hey guys, when i was booting up i saw an error about ntfs-3g -- where can i find a log of what was shown during boot -- dmesg doesnt have it | 05:14 |
| xtknight | hyperair, depends | 05:14 |
| hyperair | pins, toggle/retoggle that with 30 secs lapse | 05:14 |
| hyperair | xtknight, for iwl4965 it is like that. i speak from experience. | 05:14 |
| hyperair | xtknight, i had a similar issue a few days ago | 05:14 |
| demlet | okay | 05:14 |
| demlet | i guess my real question is how do i restore my mbr back to the windows one instead of grub mbr | 05:15 |
| orangey | j #xml | 05:15 |
| orangey | oops : 0 | 05:15 |
| xtknight | demlet, you can run fixmbr from the windows recovery cd | 05:15 |
| xtknight | recovery console rather | 05:15 |
| demlet | never got one | 05:15 |
| Bodsda | demlet, boot your windows cd, get to the recovery prompt and type fixmbr | 05:15 |
| djhash | CRASH69: try remote desktop.. | 05:15 |
| osxdude | demlet: erase the ubuntu partition. | 05:15 |
| demlet | did | 05:15 |
| demlet | lol | 05:15 |
| xtknight | that wont even do it | 05:15 |
| pins | restore huh. vista has no restore. so i just nuked it and installed ubuntu | 05:15 |
| HAL_9001 | Does anyone know where the most common place to put your swap file is? | 05:16 |
| demlet | thats what caused it in the first place | 05:16 |
| osxdude | oh really? interesting. | 05:16 |
| xtknight | HAL_9001, type cat /proc/swaps to find | 05:16 |
| Bodsda | osxdude, that wont remove the mbr | 05:16 |
| xtknight | MBR is independent of partitions. it contains a partition table and bootcode | 05:16 |
| osxdude | good point | 05:16 |
| hyperair | pins, if all else fails you could try using the 2.6.27 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/pub/next/2.6.27-rc2/hardy/ | 05:16 |
| * osxdude cleans out his ears | 05:16 | |
| dumbdum | Hi Does anyone know how to resize a partition once created in virtualbox? | 05:16 |
| demlet | lol | 05:16 |
| HAL_9001 | I mean if I'm making a swap file not searching | 05:16 |
| hyperair | pins, together with the package that gives iwlagn the appropriate firmware.... linux-restricted-modules-common from intrepid | 05:16 |
| CRASH69 | djhash: windows home doest have rdp | 05:16 |
| obf213 | hello, how can i get my broser to pretend its windows firefox or mac firefox | 05:16 |
| xtknight | dumbdum, pretty sure it's possible with virtualbox cmd line, try google | 05:16 |
| pins | hyperair: what is it? and how about a cold hardy reboot!!! | 05:16 |
| demlet | hmm | 05:16 |
| osxdude | HAL_9001: at the end of your partition table? | 05:16 |
| obf213 | cuz i sick of these "not compatible" things | 05:16 |
| djhash | CRASH69: Get yourself TightVNC... | 05:16 |
| dumbdum | thanks | 05:17 |
| Bodsda | HAL_9001, a swap file is just a partition used for swap | 05:17 |
| xtknight | HAL_9001, it can be anywhere doesnt really matter | 05:17 |
| jrib | obf213: google "user agent switcher firefox extension" | 05:17 |
| xtknight | /swap ?? | 05:17 |
| obf213 | jrib thanks | 05:17 |
| CRASH69 | djhash: thx | 05:17 |
| HAL_9001 | Is /mnt good? | 05:17 |
| hyperair | pins, huh? i don't understand your question | 05:17 |
| jrib | abwhostw: I can't help you if you don't answer my questions :/ | 05:17 |
| xtknight | HAL_9001, not really . /mnt usually contains HDs and such. i saw /swap | 05:17 |
| djhash | CRASH69: get both the viewer and server.. In ubuntu VncViewer and server is already installed.. | 05:17 |
| osxdude | HAL_9001: it has no mount point | 05:17 |
| xtknight | say | 05:17 |
| osxdude | at least from what I remember | 05:17 |
| Bodsda | HAL_9001, i dont think it needs a mount point | 05:17 |
| pins | i will reboot, brb. in the meantime.. i am pyrex in the room | 05:17 |
| Ozzie212 | can anyone help me with my login problem | 05:17 |
| pyrex | hyperair: me now | 05:18 |
| Bodsda | Ozzie212, ask away | 05:18 |

| Ozzie212 | I installed ubuntu and can't log in. I am now using live cd but can't login normally. I have to used "graphical safe" mode | 05:18 |
| WVista | Forging in supple youth an iron heart! | 05:18 |
| pyrex | it disappeared way to fast. | 05:18 |
| WVista | Banish, Bishop, all these black discourses; | 05:18 |
| jrib | abwhostw: that's not an answer to my question! | 05:18 |
| WVista | For men should bravely bear while women weep: | 05:18 |
| WVista | What wailing chief e’er wrought his people’s good! | 05:19 |
| FloodBot1 | WVista: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:19 |
| WVista | Thou art not chief without some good support: | 05:19 |
| pyrex | like about 5lines long and something to do with intel 4965 | 05:19 |
| abwhostw | so I will that cmmd back | 05:19 |
| Ozzie212 | the login screen just keeps rebooting when correct username and password are input | 05:19 |
| abwhostw | I reboot and I back | 05:19 |
| hyperair | pyrex, did you see anything else? | 05:19 |
| Bodsda | pyrex, check dmesg | 05:19 |
| osxdude | pyrex maybe a kernel panic? lol | 05:19 |
| jrib | abwhostw: I have no idea what you are saying | 05:19 |
| racle | hey, got newest ubuntu, and i wonder, is it possible to make windows effect (like when i click windows under another, both move away, and then window what i click cames to front) little hard to explain =) | 05:19 |
| xtknight | pyrex, did you see lots of ___ 0xfa342423 stuff ? :) | 05:20 |
| demlet | hmm | 05:20 |
| Bodsda | racle, yes, you want raise on click | 05:20 |
| demlet | i guess this is why i made a elb | 05:20 |
| racle | how i do that? | 05:20 |
| demlet | lol | 05:20 |
| Bodsda | racle, check in ccsm | 05:20 |
| racle | ccsm? | 05:20 |
| osxdude | racle: Settings>Prefrences>Appearance>Special Effects tab | 05:20 |
| Bodsda | racle, do u have compiz? | 05:20 |
| t1n0m3n | any way to get grub to load off of a ICH9R software raid? I had Vista installed on it, and I tried to install Ubuntu onto another HD, and now I am getting Error 21 | 05:20 |
| racle | yeah | 05:20 |
| racle | i think i got combiz :P | 05:21 |
| demlet | lol... | 05:21 |
| Ozzie212 | I don't know if this helps but I have a amd64 athlon with the 32 bit cd. | 05:21 |
| racle | got that advaNDEC panel here installed | 05:21 |
| demlet | looks like grub errors are quite the talk | 05:21 |
| demlet | lol | 05:21 |
| Bodsda | demlet, yeah, grub isnt very stable | 05:21 |
| osxdude | t1n0m3n: rebuild the OS list for GRUB? | 05:21 |
| t1n0m3n | nah, it's stable, just not with raid I think | 05:21 |
| pyrex | man, dmesg is too confusing. what am i looking for? | 05:21 |
| kingfishr | why wouldn't someone want raise on click, out of curiosity? | 05:22 |
| Bodsda | t1n0m3n, no, its just not stable | 05:22 |

| hyperair | kingfishr, there are many kinds of people in this world. some/most of which you and i won't understand | 05:23 |

| demlet | anyway, more or less i saw a program thats suppose to fix mbr | 05:23 |
| demlet | and errors like these | 05:23 |
| osxdude | lolo: Did you try the -R option (if there is one in wget) | 05:23 |
| demlet | its called super grub | 05:23 |
| Bodsda | lolo, wget -r | 05:23 |
| Ozzie212 | anybody know what could be the problem | 05:23 |
| Bodsda | osxdude, little r not big R | 05:23 |
| t1n0m3n | so, I guess, I need to install and boot off of the Linux drive, and point grub to the RAID0 for windows? | 05:24 |
| osxdude | Bodsda: Usually it's big :P | 05:24 |

| Kernel | hello all. im trying to use fail2ban to ban ssh brute force attacks and id like it to ban the ip from everything on the machine..but i cannot get it to do this | 05:40 |
| MrKeuner | hi all, using 8.04.1 automount does not work on my laptop, what could be the problem? When I explicitly ask it mounts however, when I umount the name of the cdrom stays on the cdrom device in computer:/// view in nautilus | 05:40 |
| Kernel | its only banning from ssh | 05:40 |
| Kernel | the banned ip can still goto the website | 05:40 |
| Cpudan80 | teethdood: you right click the power icon and hit properties IIRC | 05:40 |
| osxdude | MrKeuner: did the CD drive eject? | 05:41 |
| MrKeuner | osxdude: yes | 05:41 |
| osxdude | MrKeuner: was the CD taken out and the tray was closed (if applicable) and the CD drive checked for a CD? | 05:41 |
| Cpudan80 | teethdood: it does a nice graph thing -- its part of the gnome power thing | 05:41 |
| MrKeuner | osxdude: yes. moreover when I insert a new cdrom the name does not change | 05:42 |
| teethdood | Cpudan80: I have no power icon :( | 05:42 |

| FeltZ_ | qiler: you have ati or nvidia? | 05:58 |
| bazhang | qiler, windows for windows channel | 05:58 |
| qiler | nvidia | 05:58 |
| osxdude | gorc: use a static IP | 05:58 |
| jaggz | bleh | 05:58 |
| FeltZ_ | qiler: and twinview isnt good enough for you? | 05:58 |
| ladyfantasy | drezard: do you have a lot of host keys in there? | 05:58 |
| haostun | bye | 05:58 |
| ladyfantasy | drezard: if not, then just delete the .ssh/known_hosts file | 05:58 |
| t1n0m3n | and point grub to sda0 for windows... but will that work? | 05:58 |
| drezard | ladyfantasy, not that i know of ... | 05:58 |
| drezard | :S | 05:58 |
| mickey | kikou | 05:58 |
| FeltZ_ | qiler: are you trying to output to TV and monitor, or two monitors? | 05:58 |
| ladyfantasy | there's probably a better way to do it, but looking at my known_hosts file, i can't see the hostnames or ips in it ... must be something new | 05:59 |
| qiler | nope... windows are opening in the middle of the screens, and i can't fullscreen the windows on one screen instead of giant span on both | 05:59 |
| qiler | two monitors | 05:59 |
| dvs | wow .. thankx again Kernel | 05:59 |
| gorc | osxdude, thx the network is running but not sure how it's getting non routable address from cable mdm. Is 8.04 doing nat internally? | 06:00 |
| speener | does ubuntu support .deb files? | 06:00 |
| bazhang | speener, yes | 06:00 |
| speener | cool...so any package made for debian will install? | 06:00 |
| osxdude | gorc: possible | 06:00 |
| FeltZ_ | qiler: not sure on that problem, it should be a setting in nvidia control panel if that is available. I have ATI on this setup so I cannot check. | 06:01 |
| DistroJockey | qiler, I believe I had to chose the option of using Separate X servers for each screen | 06:01 |
| bazhang | FeltZ_, qiler are you discussing dual screen (two monitors) for ubuntu or windows | 06:01 |
| lnhass | I would like to update my ubuntu only from this server http://ftp.iinet.net.au/linux/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/ | 06:02 |

| yowshi | bazhang: thats actually harder then just running vlc and using the open directory option with it. but it is still annoying because totem runs any time a video dvd is put in the drive | 06:11 |
| jrib | yowshi: you just state the problem you just had. Want to set vlc as default for dvd but is not an option. Search to make sure the bug does not already exist | 06:12 |

| x2o | hi, guys | 06:18 |
| x2o | iam using another wm and need the trash can in nautilus but it doesnt work, is there a daemon or programm whicht i schould start before? | 06:18 |
| owen1 | i install ubuntu. should i choose LVM? | 06:19 |
| Rat409 | x2o: cd or use nautilus to go to your user's /home/Desktop | 06:19 |
| jesselucas | jrib: still no luck. I ran ldd on svnadmin and you can see the files missing: http://pastie.org/252762 | 06:20 |
| bazhang | owen1, any reason to do so? | 06:20 |
| owen1 | bazhang: what is the benefit of lvm? | 06:20 |
| x2o | Rat409, i am using nautilus just as a filemanager | 06:21 |
| x2o | nautilus --no-desktop | 06:21 |
| bazhang | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/whatislvm.html owen1 | 06:21 |
| Rat409 | x2o: what wm? | 06:21 |
| x2o | wmii | 06:21 |
| x2o | but the trash doesnt work, i cant access it in nautilus | 06:21 |
| owen1 | bazhang: i still don't know if i should use it.. | 06:22 |
| crdlb | x2o: Places > Trash in the menubar? | 06:22 |
| bazhang | owen1, if you dont know then no. | 06:22 |
| Rat409 | x2o: i don't think you can use an icon but the trashcan if you didn't delete it is in your user's desktop i.e. ~/.Desktop folder | 06:22 |
| x2o | yes it denies access | 06:22 |
| x2o | no | 06:23 |
| owen1 | bazhang: i understand that it will allow me to add hard drives to my system and use the same ip. | 06:23 |
| jrib | what command are you running to get the error? | 06:23 |
| x2o | it isnt | 06:23 |
| crdlb | x2o: what is the exact message? | 06:23 |
| owen1 | bazhang: is it accurate? | 06:23 |
| bazhang | owen1, did you have troubleshooting with an lvm? this is not a chat channel | 06:23 |
| Rat409 | x2o: well you can create one most probly | 06:23 |
| x2o | damn | 06:23 |
| crdlb | Rat409: the trash icon isn't really on the desktop (which is ~/Desktop btw) | 06:23 |
| x2o | the trash is in | 06:24 |
| jesselucas | jrib: I'm running any subversion command, svn, svnadmin, svncreate. (if you were asking me :) ) | 06:24 |
| Rat409 | or copy it from /root's and chown it | 06:24 |
| ramontayag | hey all. "sudo telinit q" doesn't seem to work. my /etc/inittab to contain this: http://pastie.org/252629. when i run the first line (/usr/local/bin/monit -Ic /etc/monitrc) though with "sudo" at the beginning, monit starts. how can i figure out what's wrong? | 06:24 |
| crdlb | nautilus can just put a trash icon on its representation of the desktop | 06:24 |
| x2o | its somewhere in .gnome or so | 06:24 |
| x2o | they changed it in hardy | 06:24 |
| owen1 | bazhang: sorry, didn't understand your last comment..anyway, i guess i don't need LVM. can you give me a good use case for using it, so i'll be sure i don't need it? | 06:24 |
| Rat409 | crdlb: i kust use gnome for apps never the actual DE,in fluxbox atm | 06:24 |
| x2o | and its not more just a normal folder | 06:24 |
| Rat409 | and don't do trashcans myself | 06:25 |
| bazhang | owen1, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic ; this is a support and troubleshooting channel thanks | 06:25 |
| owen1 | Rat409: try dwm | 06:25 |
| jrib | jesselucas: don't know then. There are some hits on google for your error, but I don't see anything useful yet | 06:25 |
| DistroJockey | !trash | x2o | 06:25 |
| ubottu | x2o: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 06:25 |
| owen1 | bazhang: got it. thanks | 06:26 |
| Cwe | wwwwwwwwoooooooooiiiiiiiii | 06:26 |
| crdlb | x2o: again, what is the exact error? | 06:26 |
| bazhang | Cwe, not here | 06:26 |
| x2o | its in german, something like process not supported | 06:26 |
| jrib | jesselucas: fwiw, 'locate libaprutil-0.so.0' yields 0 results for me (and my svn works ok) | 06:26 |
| x2o | but when i start gnome it works | 06:27 |
| mark__ | ly? | 06:27 |
| mark__ | any one want to help my with my flash 10 instal problems? | 06:27 |
| crdlb | x2o: run LANG=C nautilus | 06:27 |
| bazhang | mark__, the one supported by ubuntu or the 3rd party install? | 06:27 |
| bazhang | oh flash 10 | 06:28 |
| mark__ | flash 10 | 06:28 |
| Rat409 | x2o: try adding to your .xinitrc or wmiirc gnome-settings-daemon & | 06:28 |
| bazhang | mark__, install via synaptic | 06:28 |
| mark__ | i was useing the terminal | 06:28 |
| bazhang | mark__, that is a beta, correct? | 06:28 |
| mark__ | yes | 06:29 |
| x2o | it is already | 06:29 |
| bazhang | generally mark__ that means use at your own risk ; what problems are you having | 06:29 |
| drezard | whenever i try and 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`' apt-get has a big cry and throws me an error of 'Package can not be found' | 06:29 |
| mark__ | with 9 i wasnt getting any sound | 06:29 |
| ganymede | hello, in gedit, spell checking marks words with aprostophes as incorrectly spelled. for instance, the would "couldn't" has a red line under "couldn" how can i make gedits spellchecker aware of english contractions? i think it treats apostrophes as word bounardies | 06:29 |
| c0rrupt0r | hello, I have installed wine 1.0 on my ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron also installed sidenet and everything works great except when I happen to go and use certain programs that use IE and then they ask me to install Wine Gecko and I click install and it downloads and goes to install but gets stuck in install mode...any idea's? | 06:30 |
| x2o | message is | 06:30 |
| x2o | damn | 06:30 |
| mark__ | so i removed it via synaptic | 06:30 |
| mark__ | and now when i instal 10 via the terminal | 06:30 |
| bazhang | drezard, please pastebin the full command and error messages to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) | 06:30 |
| mark__ | i get no result, it says its a sucecs but i have no flash | 06:31 |
| pajamian | ganymede: I've noticed the same thing, haven't bothered to look into it yet. | 06:31 |
| x2o | Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported | 06:31 |
| x2o | thats the message | 06:31 |
| jesselucas | jrib: I think I may just need to reinstall i can't even use locate: it says "locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory" haha man I messed up something | 06:32 |
| bazhang | mark__, what does about plugins in firefox show | 06:32 |
| x2o | crdlb, Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported | 06:32 |
| mark__ | nothing with flash or gnash to worrie about | 06:32 |
| unop | jesselucas, try running this. sudo updatedb # let it finish running, hopefully it recreates that database | 06:32 |
| bazhang | mark__, the about plugins does not show flash as being installed? this was after quitting firefox and then installing flash then restarting firefox? | 06:33 |
| unop | jesselucas, did you just do a fresh install? | 06:33 |
| crdlb | x2o: just a guess, but do you have a dbus session bus running? | 06:34 |
| mark__ | yes | 06:34 |
| jesselucas | unop: no I just upgraded from dapper to hardy w/ do-release-upgrade | 06:34 |
| bazhang | mark__, yes what | 06:34 |
| jesselucas | unop: now can't get subversion working | 06:34 |
| drezard | bazhang, paste here???? ok :P hehehe kidding... im just doing a apt-get upgrade and apt-get update then ill do it :) | 06:34 |
| mark__ | yes : the about plug ins have shown nothing after the install, and restart | 06:35 |
| floppyears | hello guys | 06:35 |
| floppyears | I'm interesting in learning and doing some video editing | 06:35 |
| drezard | bazhang, it was a fresh install so maybe it just required updates??? ill test it then if it still doesnt wana play friendly ill pastebin all the stuff | 06:35 |
| bazhang | mark__, what command did you use to install it; it seems to have failed | 06:35 |
| floppyears | is there some open source software that you would recommend ? | 06:35 |
| unop | jesselucas, well, one thing at a time .. let updatedb do it's job, locate/slocate ought to work after that | 06:35 |
| jesselucas | unop: that worked for locate. Thanks! | 06:35 |

| arrrghhh | mount ntfs drives over nfs | 06:36 |

| unop | arrrghhh, and what's wrong with the current version that prohibits you from doing this? | 06:37 |

| drezard | floppyears, no problems... :) | 06:37 |
| unop | arrrghhh, newer does not necessarily mean better | 06:37 |
| drezard | floppyears, tell me how it goes, im looking at using it maybe later down the track :P | 06:37 |
| ramontayag | "sudo telinit q" doesn't seem to work. or maybe my /etc/inittab is just wrong: http://pastie.org/252629. when i run the first line (/usr/local/bin/monit -Ic /etc/monitrc) though with "sudo" at the beginning, monit starts. how can i figure out what's wrong? i'm using ubuntu hardy | 06:37 |

| pajamian | ganymede: yep, but I can understand why. It is slightly annoying, but doesn't really stand in the way of usability. It says something that I haven't bothered to look into it myself in this time. | 06:39 |
| bazhang | mark__, it seems to have failed then. what installer are you speaking of and what version of linux are you using | 06:39 |
| mark__ | 8.04 and the installer of the adobe site | 06:40 |
| bobertdos | mark___: I totally did not mean to abandon you, I am so sorry O_O | 06:40 |

| Fredd | bazgabg: well i asked in there but im thinking this is a keyboard layout issue nothing related to interpid it self | 06:49 |

At the moment, I have about 20 for /, 70 for C:\, and the rest for /home. The only reason C:\ is so large is because the games I install take up to 12 GB sometimes. Using the ext3 drivers available for Windows, would it be possible to just mount /home in Windows and install game | 06:50 |

| frybye | with hubackup how to navigate to a different pc on the home net to locate the backup when hubackup only presents the "filesystem" and not "locations" "network" etc?? | 06:54 |
| lostogre | ramontayag: Not exactly. In order for an event to register with init it has to be written to do so. Something that can be done is to run the daemon in a script wrapper. You should look at upstart.ubuntu.com. There is language that will make init restart a failed daemon. | 06:54 |

| lostogre | Quiescent: usually. | 06:59 |
| Quiescent | will reading the man page for mount help me? | 07:00 |
| frybye | i have done that - easy - right click and "mount locally" | 07:00 |

| afief | I am trying to decide on a new laptop to buy, and Tablet PC's prices have come down a good deal these days. Does ubuntu support Tablets? can I use it to easily take notes? | 07:38 |
| Gnea | Fredd: until you've made sure, it's better to just not say anything against it | 07:39 |
| Gnea | afief: as I understand it, yes. | 07:39 |
| afief | Gnea, Could you recommend some software to use on it? | 07:40 |
| mneptok | afief: they work, but calibration tools are anemic | 07:40 |
| afief | Gnea, I am mainly interested in using it at the classroom to take notes(I am too messy with papers, files are easier to handle) | 07:40 |
| owen1 | fdisk -l returns "Unable to read /dev/sda" any idea? | 07:40 |
| Frozen_North | owen1: try sda1,2 etc | 07:41 |
| Frozen_North | owen1: or you could have a dead drive | 07:42 |
| owen1 | Frozen_North: i am in the middle of installing ubuntu. can u elaborate? | 07:42 |

| Gnea | Fredd: so it works? | 07:44 |
| entropius | Another sound question for you guys: I have sound stuttering problems for all sounds using the onboard sound (Nvidia chipset) on a new motherboard, in Ubuntu 8.04. Any ideas what could cause this? | 07:44 |
| Fredd | no lol | 07:44 |
| Gnea | ok, i need sleep, i have no patience left for cryptic nonsense. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | !sound | 07:44 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:44 |
| Fredd | thats very helpful. | 07:45 |
| Kartagis | are there any pastebin scripts available? not ones i can send to http://www.pastebin.ca or similar, one i can create my own pastebin with | 07:45 |
| DavidDavid | We just say a district, if a large group of militias, such said a big company, fight you, to get money | 07:45 |
| Fredd | pastebinit | 07:45 |
| Fredd | oops didnt read lol | 07:45 |
| Gnea | !pastebin | 07:45 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 07:45 |
| Fredd | Kartagis: i believe u could get a copy of pastebin from the their main site | 07:46 |
| eligos | I'm back | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Kartagis, yup; install pastebinit then cat and | the command/file to it | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Kartagis, it will give you a url in the terminal | 07:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i check what motherboard i have? | 07:47 |
| rtw35783 | CostaRicanQuaker: sudo | dmidecode | less | 07:47 |
| rtw35783 | CostaRicanQuaker: err, sudo dmidecode | less | 07:47 |
| Kartagis | bazhang: not like that. i want to have my own pastebin | 07:47 |
| eligos | the error I get is the following: | 07:47 |
| bazhang | Kartagis, you want to have a service from a site you host? | 07:48 |
| Kartagis | bazhang: exactly | 07:48 |
| eligos | init: rcs main process (5554) killed by SEGV signal | 07:48 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:49 |
| entropius | :P | 07:49 |
| Bodsda | entropius, ubottu is a bot | 07:49 |
| entropius | I know, but I figured I'd reply to him as a way of letting everyone know that I'd already seen that page | 07:49 |
| eligos | init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc default: no such file or directory | 07:49 |
| bazhang | Kartagis, you might ask the pastebinit developer about that | 07:49 |
| eligos | init: rc-default main process (6901) terminated with status 255 | 07:50 |
| bazhang | Kartagis, sorry, really have no idea about that | 07:50 |
| mneptok | Kartagis: this is the wrong venure for such questions, really | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what's the command to check the computer specs? | 07:50 |
| emman | What is wine? | 07:51 |
| eligos | anyone knows what those errors mean? | 07:51 |
| dxdemetriou | can I change the way that smb:// works on nautilus so to not have to ask for password if the password is the same to the current user? | 07:51 |
| mneptok | CostaRicanQuaker: what specs? | 07:51 |
| entropius | CostaRicanQuaker: What specs are you interested in? | 07:51 |
| Bodsda | eligos, youd need to explain what your doing first | 07:51 |
| bazhang | emman, a way to run windows games and some apps under ubuntu | 07:51 |
| entropius | CostaRicanQuaker: You can find some information by doing cat /proc/cpuinfo | 07:51 |
| Quiescent | holy crap. screen is amazing | 07:51 |
| kenkku_ | dxdemetriou: nautilus doesn't know what your password is | 07:51 |
| Frozen_North | eligos: I would recommend Cedega or CrossOver Office for ease of use however | 07:51 |
| bazhang | emman, you can check the appdb for what does and does not work | 07:51 |
| mneptok | bazhang: i love you even more now. games don;t qualify as apps. amen, bruddah! | 07:51 |
| kenkku_ | dxdemetriou: it's not stored anywhere | 07:52 |
| rtw35783 | Quiescent: screen is best | 07:52 |
| bazhang | !appdb | emman | 07:52 |
| ubottu | emman: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:52 |
| bazhang | mneptok, haha | 07:52 |
| Quiescent | if i ever have to go back to using only a CLI, i'll just want bash and screen | 07:52 |
| emman | you mean i can run winamps under ubuntu using wine? Can I download wine...what is the website? | 07:52 |
| mneptok | Quiescent: try zsh ;) | 07:52 |
| mneptok | emman: skip WinAmp. try XMMS. | 07:52 |
| bazhang | emman, just install via synaptic | 07:52 |
| Quiescent | emman: don't bother | 07:52 |
| Bodsda | emmaww.winehq.org | 07:53 |
| kenkku_ | emman: I don't recommend using winamp. there are plenty of good alternatives. like xmms | 07:53 |
| entropius | emman: You certainly can download wine -- there's a website (google it), but you can just install it by doing sudo apt-get install wine | 07:53 |
| sporkf | http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-networking/378472-ubuntu-linux-pnl.html | 07:53 |
| Bodsda | emman www.winehq.org | 07:53 |
| Quiescent | zsh, i'm just now learning screen | 07:53 |
| Quiescent | heh | 07:53 |
| dxdemetriou | kenkku_, I just want to mount some shared folders on login for each user, but the problem is that it asks for the password 2 times | 07:53 |
| bazhang | Bodsda, hi :) | 07:53 |
| eligos | bodsda: I get those errors when trying to install ubuntu, I removed "quiet splash" to see what the errors where and those are the last lines that I got | 07:53 |
| entropius | but using it for winamp is probably not a good idea, since xmms/etc. will be better | 07:53 |
| mneptok | Quiescent: zsh doesn;t differ much from bash until you want it to | 07:53 |
| Bodsda | entropius, the repos do not contain the latest wine version by default | 07:53 |
| owen1 | mneptok: how do i know the drive controller? it's HP, i used to have ubuntu before, and debian. | 07:53 |
| kenkku_ | dxdemetriou: oooh. hmm, ok | 07:53 |
| DistroJockey | !xmms | 07:53 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. | 07:53 |
| Quiescent | oh, i hardly know how to use bash | 07:54 |
| mneptok | owen1: lshw | 07:54 |
| Quiescent | haven't been on linux for that long | 07:54 |
| mneptok | Quiescent: perfect! so you're not addicted! time to install zsh ;) | 07:54 |
| Bodsda | eligos, md5 checksum the iso and the burned disc, if that doesnt work, reburn at a lower speed, if that doesnt work try the alternate cd | 07:54 |
| Quiescent | how's the learning curve with zsh? | 07:55 |
| mneptok | Quiescent: gentle slope that rises as you gain prowess | 07:55 |
| flipouk | Hey | 07:55 |

| flipouk | vsound is not in Hadry anymore :( | 07:56 |
| flipouk | s/Hadry/Hardy/ | 07:56 |
| Bodsda | Quiescent, why do you need zsh? | 07:56 |
| eligos | bodsda: how's about this... if I remove the graphics card it boots no problem, and my graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 7100 GS pci express 256mb | 07:56 |
| mneptok | Bodsda: i'm recommending it to him | 07:57 |
| sporkf | http://articles.eliasalucard.com/ubuntu_lunix_is_racist.xhtml | 07:57 |
| eligos | bodsda: the cd is fine | 07:57 |
| Quiescent | bodsda: i don't just curious | 07:57 |
| Bodsda | eligos, i had the same problem, install ubuntu without graphics card, then boot into ubuntu, install the restricted driver modules for your card, then reboot with graphics card | 07:57 |

| tonisius | ok, I have (hd0,0) as my windows drive, (hd2,0) my linux drive, when I installed the root from (hd2,0) to setup on (hd0,0) it completely goes into a loop, and keeps bringing up the same grub boot loader, instead of chaining into the windows boot loader, any help on this? | 07:58 |
| ubottu | natha1: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 07:58 |
| Quiescent | bodsda: it was just recommended to me, in the setup i see something called "variable completion" and i'm hoping it does what i think | 07:58 |
| tonisius | trying to get the windows boot loader again | 07:58 |
| Scorp_ | Bodsda: Ohh, thanks !! | 07:58 |
| === dextone is now known as De[X]tone | ||

| natha1 | was working but then stopped. Think I have the ndiswrapper going fine | 07:58 |

| tonisius | I already did them all, and endewd up finding that moving my linux drive to another location fixed all the issues, windows hated that a nix based partition was in hd0's location | 07:59 |

| eligos | bodsda: so I should phisically remove the graphics card and use integrated video, install ubuntu, then install the module for my card, shut down, hook the graphics card again, reboot, and it should work? | 08:00 |

| Bodsda | Scorp_, oh, k,.,. syntax is !command | nick or !command > nick for pm | 08:00 |
| Scorp_ | eligos: Have u set up the BIOS Correct ?? It has an option to choose integrated and PCI Card !! | 08:00 |
| Bodsda | eligos, no dont physically remove it, just dont use it, use onboard | 08:00 |
| natha1 | using the network manager but no luck | 08:00 |
| miyavix3 | Uh, can anyone help me repair my ubuntu? | 08:00 |
| natha1 | just does not connect | 08:00 |
| entropius | eligos: you might not have to physically remove the graphics card based on your BIOS -- my motherboard will let me run the integrated while there's a PCI video card in there | 08:00 |
| rustychicken | is there a firefox extension for automatically making certain sites (like gmail) use ssl, so i dont have to type out the full url when accessing https://mail.google.com? | 08:00 |

| miyavix3 | Ok | 08:01 |
| miyavix3 | Time to laugh at me | 08:01 |
| Scorp_ | natha1: If u can see the network and not connect, it could be an error of the security key... are you accessing a secure network ??? | 08:01 |
| entropius | natha1: if you can see the networks in iwlist, try manually connecting to them using iwconfig. Try something like "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <whatever>", replacing eth1 with whatever your network card is | 08:01 |
| rustychicken | miyavix3: i guarantee ive done worse | 08:01 |
| miyavix3 | but I started removing python2.4-minimal | 08:01 |
| miyavix3 | And i started uninstalling ubuntu | 08:01 |
| entropius | natha1: and yes, if the network is encrypted, you might be having issues with that. Can the network manager see the networks? | 08:01 |
| eligos | ok, I'll give it a shot, brb | 08:02 |

| miyavix3 | Because it won't boot into the INSTALLED version on my HDD | 08:03 |

| Scorp_ | miyavix3: are u aware of what all u deleted ?? maybe getting back the xserver should give u a start. | 08:04 |
| balz | entropius: yeah i used that before but it gave me a 'system is going down for maintenence' message and then led me to some weird blue-screen cli with options | 08:04 |
| gilda | miyavix3: if you can get to that screen you can recover your ubuntu | 08:04 |

| bigmack83 | unop: haha oops. i mean i have made the change from vista to linux | 08:11 |
| gilda | natha1: what exactly is your wireless issue ? | 08:11 |
| unop | Bodsda, depends on how it is invoked | 08:11 |
| timz84 | wanna hear something funny? | 08:11 |
| bigmack83 | well, ubuntu | 08:11 |
| entropius | Bodsda: That information on rsync isn't very informative. What it's good for is synchronizing two directories over a network using as little network traffic as possible. One thing it can do is copy, but it'll do more. And, yes, there's an option for preserving permissions. | 08:11 |
| timz84 | i accidentally installed ubuntu over vista | 08:11 |
| entropius | man rsync will tell you exactly what switches do what | 08:12 |

| generalsnus | My linux users authenticate against AD, and i was trying to use pam_group.so so users that logs on would be a member of the local groups floppy/audio/fuse/plugdev. but it dosent seem to work, issuing the cmd "id" with a user only shows he is a member of the group "domain^user" anyone else tried this? | 08:30 |
| starenka | i supose it's permissions issue, right? | 08:30 |
| === laras_syik_lonel is now known as co_13thn | ||

| tabber | got it: find /path/ -name "*.dm" -mmin +30 | xargs rm | 08:30 |
| miyavix3 | Seems I cannot resolve host security.ubuntu.com | 08:31 |
| gilda | starenka: maybe - ive also seen ftp struggle with following symlinks say to other mounted drives and such | 08:31 |
| gilda | miyavix3: then looks like your networkings down to | 08:31 |
| blarg_ | is there a net split or something? heh | 08:31 |
| blarg_ | sheesh., | 08:31 |
| miyavix3 | How is that possible? | 08:31 |
| starenka | gilda: yes this is it: those symlinks go to other media and ntfs... | 08:31 |
| miyavix3 | I'm on it right now | 08:31 |
| miyavix3 | My question is, how is it going to detect my network out of the few in my area... and then let me put in my password? | 08:32 |
| gilda | miyavix3: well that would depend how you set up your network | 08:32 |

| miyavix3 | I can just turn wpa off | 08:33 |
| miyavix3 | for now | 08:33 |
| starenka | gilda: but it shouldn't really matter, right? the ftp deamon just handles symlink and dereferences it... if the dir is readable within the system it will show it contents | 08:33 |
| miyavix3 | Would that all all help? | 08:33 |
| Drizzt321 | I'm looking for the 'mail' program, or any other basic command line MUA that I can use as part of a cronjob to send an email. What package would that be in? | 08:33 |
| Flannel | Scarey: The problem is after they say "does anyone know anything about [this]" you someone has to ask you to give actual question, and then you have to respond. Makes support take a lot longer, | 08:33 |
| gilda | starenka: i am not overly sure on that i know i have bypassed issues like what your talking about using mount bind options | 08:33 |
| entropius | Quiescent: I set up PulseAudio, but it doesn't help | 08:34 |
| miyavix3 | Question now is... am I S.O.L.? | 08:34 |
| Flannel | Scarey: Also makes people who glance in ocassionally less likely to be able to answer your question, because they have to be around to ask you to actually ask, and then around when you reply to actually read the question | 08:34 |
| gilda | miyavix3: you stated your connecting wirelessly right ? is it possible to just jack in a cable | 08:34 |
| starenka | gilda: can you clear this up for a n00b? | 08:34 |
| miyavix3 | Not at the moment no... | 08:34 |
| entropius | Oddly enough holding down Alt-Tab to switch between windows constantly makes the sound stop skipping while the system is switching between windows | 08:34 |
| Quiescent | entropius: I'm not an expert at any of this, that's just what I did. Did look for "perfect pulseaudio setup" and follow all the instructions in there? | 08:34 |

| hateball | Quiescent, unpack the libflash.so and replace those on your system... Cant remember where they're located and am not on x64 atm | 09:18 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: does your laptop have a wireless off switch? | 09:18 |
| SonicComKid | Ziroday, it does, but the switch is 'on' and blue to indicate it's 'working' | 09:18 |
| Kristopher | ok. it wants to resize the partition, or split it into 2 partitions, but it says 27GB is not enough for ubuntu? | 09:19 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: well that card should definitly work ootb | 09:19 |
| SonicComKid | I tried with both Network and with wifi radar and can't get the damn thing to even attempt connection. I don't get it | 09:19 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: try turning wpa2 off on the router and then trying to connect to it | 09:19 |
| SonicComKid | if this isn't accepting WPA2 there's something seriously wrong | 09:20 |
| ramontayag | hi all. i have a question.. i'm a linux newbie so please bear with me. i simply wanted init to startup this process called monit when monit would die, or when the computer would boot. however, i went to 2 different places and they said I need upstart to do it. therefore, here i am. In init, I put my instructions to restart monit in /etc/inittab. What's the equivalent of inittab in upstart? | 09:20 |
| SonicComKid | I am not going to have my network open | 09:20 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: only temporarily to narrow down the issue | 09:20 |
| SonicComKid | for me to turn wpa2 off my router will have to shut down and kill all my connections including here | 09:20 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: yes, however you can rejoin.... | 09:21 |
| SonicComKid | in case I did an idiotic mistake, can you turn through how to connect to a wireless network please?\ | 09:21 |
| SonicComKid | man I hate this stupid 'redesigned' keyboard, they shrunk my shift key and added to bar | keys for no reason -.- | 09:21 |
| namegame | the network manager should do it "automajically" | 09:21 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: using network manager | 09:22 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: also see this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/106129 | 09:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 106129 in network-manager "WPA2 Personal wireless networks don't work without manual configuration" [Medium,Fix released] | 09:22 |
| SonicComKid | I had it manual, but also tried romeing | 09:22 |
| namegame | you might need to set the ESSID and password manually | 09:22 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: you may also want to try wicd | 09:22 |
| SonicComKid | what's wicd? | 09:23 |
| SonicComKid | and what's ESSID?? | 09:23 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: another wireless manager | 09:23 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: the name of your wireless network | 09:23 |
| SonicComKid | isn't it just called SSID? | 09:23 |
| namegame | ESSID is a type of SSID | 09:24 |
| namegame | which refers to 802.11 wireless networks | 09:25 |
| Ziroday | SonicComKid: so are you turning off wpa2? | 09:25 |
| SonicComKid | I'm in network settings and just like last time I entered in my network into the ESSID field and specified WPA2 | 09:25 |
| SonicComKid | and like before it acts like it connected but hasn't. If I yank out the Cat5 cable it'll drop me | 09:25 |

| SonicComKid | WHERE?? | 09:29 |
| Briareos_00 | hi all! does anyone know what could be the reason that I won't get a GUI when starting up ubuntu? The only thing that happens is that the monitor goes in standby mode when the login screen should appear. | 09:29 |
| SonicComKid | namegame, WHERE? | 09:29 |
| whitman | SonicComKid, top right hand corner of the screen | 09:29 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: try typing startx or gdm at the terminal | 09:29 |
| namegame | !caps | SonicComKid | 09:29 |
| ubottu | SonicComKid: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 09:29 |
| rockin_stan | Ziroday: No problems so far, thinkin about buying one... | 09:30 |
| Briareos_00 | have tried already | 09:30 |
| SonicComKid | the icon near the clock is useless, it says squat about either connection and either of their statuses | 09:30 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 09:30 |
| Ziroday | rockin_stan: ah right, easiest method is to use a live cd, you can also google the model with the word ubuntu and check out the laptop testing part of the wiki | 09:30 |
| DavidDavid | Marios need protect? | 09:30 |
| SonicComKid | I'm still asking where | 09:31 |
| SonicComKid | there is no indications | 09:31 |
| rockin_stan | Ziroday: Thanks, but the XPS 1330 is already sold with ubuntu preinstalled... | 09:31 |
| Briareos_00 | glade88: should i make a restart afterwards? | 09:31 |
| whitedox | "sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange" is returning nothing. Yet I did install the xresprobe package | 09:31 |
| Ziroday | rockin_stan: ah then there should be no issues, you may want to check out the dell ubuntu prreinstalled part of the forums | 09:32 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: after installing ubuntu-desktop, do a sudo reboot | 09:32 |
| rockin_stan | Ziroday: thx, will do | 09:32 |
| Kristopher | if ubuntu can read ntfs, why is it suggested that i make a shared partition in fat32 (for sharing between windows and ubuntu)? i could just keep all the partitions ntfs | 09:32 |
| namegame | SonicComKid, it should look something similar to this http://kirsten.urbanzone.com/blog/uploads/misc/ubuntu_network_manager.png | 09:32 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: I think you have done the server/barebone installation instead of the desktop version. | 09:32 |
| SonicComKid | why can't I simply select my connection from a list of detected ones, give it the password, and go? why is it being over-complicated?? | 09:32 |
| namegame | it isn't | 09:32 |
| Ziroday | Kristopher: because fat32 support is better | 09:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | SonicComKid: It should be exactly like that | 09:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | SonicComKid: you click the icon at hte top and select the one you want from teh drop-down list | 09:33 |
| glade88 | SonicComKid: the nm-applet *does* show a list of detected wireless networks | 09:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | SonicComKid: getting to that point though, that's the killer | 09:33 |
| Kristopher | <Ziroday>, speed-wise or error-wise? | 09:33 |
| DavidDavid | Marios careful, and buy insurance. | 09:33 |
| Briareos_00 | no because the GUI did already work once | 09:33 |
| Ziroday | Kristopher: error wise | 09:33 |
| SonicComKid | namegame, I don't have anything even remotely like that | 09:34 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: okay, then just try reinstalling the metapackage.. | 09:34 |
| Kristopher | hmm.. o.o | 09:34 |
| whitman | SonicComKid, do you have a manual switch on the laptop to turn on/off the wireless? If it's off you won't have an icon there. | 09:34 |
| SonicComKid | namegame, only option I have is 'connect to a protected wired network' | 09:34 |
| whitedox | "sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange" is returning nothing. Yet I did install the xresprobe package | 09:35 |
| Briareos_00 | glade88: sorry for the n00by question but what is a metapackage? do you mean the ubuntu-desktop? | 09:35 |
| namegame | SonicComKid, pastebin the results of ifconfig -a | 09:35 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: yes | 09:35 |

| DavidDavid | Marios careful, and buy insurance, you can not run when meet real militants combat | 09:36 |
| SonicComKid | whitman, we already established that. My wifi is on | 09:38 |
| SonicComKid | wifi radar can detect networks with it | 09:38 |
| SonicComKid | but it won't connect and I can't get any wireless network lists with the stock Ubuntu stuff | 09:38 |
| Briareos_00 | glade88: no its all the same. but when i entered my username and password i could see HDD-activity. this means that the GUI is there but just not displayed, doesn't it? | 09:38 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: you said: monitor goes to standby when login screen should appear. Can you login through GDM? | 09:39 |
| Phantomas | hello! how can i change some grub settings ? | 09:40 |
| SonicComKid | well.. seems I got more options when I changed it back to 'romeing' mode | 09:40 |
| namegame | SonicComKid, your wireless is connected to your router at 192.168.0.102, so you do have a connection | 09:40 |
| Briareos_00 | no i can't because the monitor goes in standby | 09:40 |

| glade88 | Phantomas: and remove displaying of older kernels | 09:41 |
| Phantomas | glade88: ok thanks | 09:42 |
| glade88 | Phantomas: alternatively, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out older kernels | 09:42 |
| Briareos_00 | glade88: yes and a reboot --> all the same, but then i tried to login blind --> HDD-activity | 09:42 |
| Phantomas | glade88: this is better :) thanks | 09:42 |
| glade88 | Phantomas: np.. | 09:42 |
| namegame | SonicComKid, my last resort when dealing with wireless issues is to run the following in the terminal iwconfig wlan0 ESSID Password, where ESSID and Password are the credentials of your network | 09:42 |

| ThreeFinity | 2gb ddr2 | 09:47 |
| glade88 | SonicComKil: install gsynaptics | 09:47 |
| ikonia | ThreeFinity: 32bit | 09:47 |
| joaopinto | ThreeFinity, 64 bits | 09:47 |
| ikonia | ThreeFinity: what is your primary function of the machine | 09:47 |
| echo6 | SonicComKi1: IIRC password is not supported currently under iwconfig, if you are using wpa take a look at wpa_supplicant | 09:47 |
| SonicComKi1 | nevermind, found it | 09:47 |
| ThreeFinity | desktop OS, maybe some light graphical work, VMWare/wine for gaming | 09:47 |
| Briareos_00 | glade88: at least i think so. i did it all via ssh | 09:47 |
| ikonia | ThreeFinity: I would suggest 32bit then | 09:47 |
| ThreeFinity | kk, ty | 09:47 |
| ikonia | ThreeFinity: simpley as the gain against the hassle for your needs is not worth it | 09:47 |
| SonicComKi1 | seems swscanner crashes every time I try to use it | 09:48 |
| seroo | How can I use the find command to search for *wav, *mp3, *ogg files, instead of just one file extension? | 09:48 |

| glade88 | Briareos_00: post a thread at the forums. It's kinda going out of scope for me.. | 09:48 |
| Briareos_00 | glade88: do you think it would be possible to connect via vnc? | 09:48 |
| joaopinto | ThreeFinity, I would suggest 64 bits, simply for the fact that you will be using a more recent technology, I had no problems with it, but you also should not expect advantage over 32 bits | 09:48 |
| ikonia | seroo: instead of just one, ls -lR | grep ogg | grep wav | grep mp3 | 09:48 |
| seroo | ikex, I want to use find for this matter | 09:49 |
| ikonia | joaopinto: wine running 32bit games can be an issue on ubuntu 64bit | 09:49 |
| ikex | >_<! | 09:49 |

| ikonia | lina: sorry, /boot/grub/devices.map | 09:51 |
| ikonia | lina: apologies, my typo | 09:51 |
| glade88 | Briareos_00: since you have a missing xorg.conf, im stumped at this. The resolution problem should have been fixed by reconfiguring xserver-xorg | 09:51 |
| joaopinto | if there is an issue he can always run a 32 bits wine from a chroot, but again, I have never seen wine as being an adoption blocker for 64 bits | 09:51 |
| ikonia | joaopinto: for his needs I see no reason to make it hard with some of the less supported software on 64bit, | 09:52 |

| joaopinto | ikonia, I see too much comments about hard it is to use a 64 bits, most of such comments are related to problems which were resolved on the last year | 09:53 |
| lina | ikonia, according to that im supposed to have root (hd1,0)... but at bootup that is the setting... but wont boot so i have to change it to hd0,0 | 09:53 |
| ikonia | joaopinto: I'm not saying he "will" have problems, he's welcome to use it, I'm giving my opinon to him as you have given yours | 09:54 |
| joaopinto | and my suggestion was not based on needs, almost none of us need a 64 bits, however we should use it to make sure the technology will become usable | 09:54 |
| ikonia | joaopinto: he's welcome to use it, but I see no reason / benifit for hime to use it, he didn't sound a confident user so my advice is based on making his life as easy as possible | 09:55 |
| ikonia | lina: so your device.map shows hd1,0 as your correct partition, any chance you could pastebin it so we can see the same file while chatting about it ? | 09:56 |
| mneptok | joaopinto: just using something doesn't make it more usable. if that were true, Vista would boot in 12 nanoseconds and do your dishes | 09:56 |

| Lifeisfunny | I'm having a problem ... a for instance: I move a jpeg file from one folder to another in gThumb using the Move feature in the right-button menu. I do the same to move another and I get the child window using the Move feature but no entries of folders that have resided in that child window in the past. ...... another: I use streamtuner and lose my bookmarks after having closed that gui. | 10:06 |

| Wimpie | Hello guys, I'm trying to install Phpmyadmin only I can't find a good guide on the Ubuntu forums... Can somebody link me a good guide or help me with the commands :) | 10:12 |
| ikonia | Wimpie: install the package phpmyadmin | 10:12 |
| Wimpie | is that enought ? | 10:13 |
| lina | ikonia, doesn't look like it | 10:13 |
| echo6 | Wimpie: You also need to setup the database and its tables, usually something like mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin/<VERSION>/sqlscripts/mysql/<VERSION>_create.sql | 10:14 |

| hfdsx | Hi everyone, how can i get the same effect as 'hibernate' does, but do a soft reboot instead of shutdown? | 10:16 |
| hfdsx | i have dual boot, and sometimes i need to use windows for games, but i don't want to loose my session | 10:17 |
| afief | echo6, weird I always install it from the package manager and it works(no need to import anything), my guess is that the mysql-server is missing(phpmyadmin depends only on the client) | 10:17 |
| hfdsx | i did some google research on it, but didn't manage to get any useful information.. | 10:19 |
| echo6 | afief: I don't rely on the package manager to do everything for me. | 10:19 |

| simso | altherior, have you considered adding your drive to the fstab file? | 10:29 |
| pierluca08 | ciao a tutti | 10:29 |
| afief | echo6, dunno, I usually keep it on my PC, never on live servers. In case I need to do anything with the database I either do it from the mysql CLI or import the data locally and do it | 10:29 |

| echo6 | lina: What is your entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 10:32 |

| altherior | I can mount with my user a hd usb yet | 10:35 |
| lina | echo6, yes | 10:35 |
| marius | joaopinto, but if i use ifconfig ath0 down, the wlan doesnt deaktivate the signal goesdown to 30 % | 10:35 |
| marius | joaopinto, but if i use ifconfig ath0 down, the wlan doesnt deaktivate the signal goesdown to 30 %, and to reaktivet it i musst use the nm applet | 10:36 |

| ikonia | Wimpie: I mentioned this earlier | 10:39 |
| lina | echo6, http://paste.ubuntu.com/37379/ | 10:40 |
| mneptok | having PHPmyadmin admin your box is like having children guard your candy | 10:40 |
| Wimpie | yeah but I can't find the package thing I'm a beginner in Ubuntu server part | 10:40 |
| anthy | anthy | 10:40 |
| ikonia | lina: I would re-apply grub to the mbr and see if it errors when you assign (hd1,0) as the root | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Wimpie: why are you using ubuntu server, the ubuntu desktop product is better aimed at new users | 10:41 |
| zamanfou | how can I get the title text of the active window? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | Wimpie: also - you don't have to "find" the package just type in the package name for installation | 10:41 |
| lina | ikonia, and how to i do that? (i kinda suck at this) | 10:41 |
| ikonia | lina: no problem, "sudo grub" | 10:41 |
| echo6 | lina: grub gets its device list from the BIOS boot order, also check that. Another thing worth trying is the map argument within the grub config file | 10:41 |
| Wimpie | ikonia: Thanks I found it now :) | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Wimpie: I'd strongly suggest you use the desktop install | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Wimpie: it's much more aimed at home PC hardware and new users | 10:42 |
| echo6 | lina: there is nothing wrong with your config, so the only thing I can think of is that it is your BIOS boot order or your boot selection is confusing grub...just a thought | 10:43 |
| iqson716 | I can't change swap to logical partition :s | 10:43 |
| * null_byte listens to Behemoth - At the left hand ov god. | 10:43 | |

| Flannel | null_byte: please turn that off | 10:43 |
| Wimpie | I will look if its gets any harder I will go to the desktop thing | 10:43 |
| lina | echo6, when i had xp installed... the only way to get grub to load was to swap the hdd boot order... that might b the issue | 10:43 |
| echo6 | ikonia: Yes, good point, in which case re-installing grub should fix it..as you have suggested | 10:44 |
| ikonia | echo6: ahhh there we have the answer, one line above | 10:44 |

| duncan_busy | anyone here using xchat? | 11:19 |
| duncan_busy | I have a question about a setting I can't find. | 11:19 |
| Wimpie | I did !ftp at the Ubottu but he only gave cleints are there also possible ways to config a FPT(server) | 11:19 |

| Flannel | tech0007: no, stuff doesn't automatically get backported. Backports are unofficially done by people who feel like it, basiclaly. Firefox 3 final still isn't in -backports for Gutsy | 11:19 |
| gvk | That thing crashed in a week more than fx2 crashed in a year. | 11:20 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, any idea why Intrepid doesn't have OOo3.0? | 11:20 |
| acp_ | hi, I have config my dad phone to be use as modem by his ubuntu using wvdial. its working fine except that I have to run sudo wvdial on the terminal which my dad dont want that I plan to create a luncher but how will I pass the password in my command? | 11:20 |
| Wimpie | Thanks ftpd is the good one :/ me bad\ | 11:21 |
| duncan_busy | acp_, have you tried it? I think it will ask iteself. Try a test launchaer and see. | 11:21 |
| Slart | acp_: you can make sudo use a file for input and put the password in that file.. (NB!.. cleartext password in a file isn't a good thing) | 11:21 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: You'd have to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 11:21 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, thanks. Can you answer an xchat question? | 11:22 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: Just because it doesn't have it now doesn't mean it wont, although import deadline has passed. | 11:22 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: but they'll be able to tell you all about it in +1 | 11:22 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: You'd have to ask the question :) | 11:22 |
| acp_ | k thanks,Il try ur suggestion | 11:23 |

| moldy | i cannot use "unlock" in users-admin, it's greyed out | 11:24 |

| ulaas | hi! I have upgraded dapper to hardy on raid1 with a degraded config and i have trouble booting. dpkg configure fails with lilo config complaining about -G switch | 11:26 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, I have mentioned it in #ubuntu+1 - it was one of Mark's planned features if I remember right. And it runs find for me on Hardy. | 11:27 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: I meant re: xchat | 11:27 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, do you know if there is a setting in xchat to stop all channels from recording join/part messages? | 11:28 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: I'm not sure about "recording" but if you mean displaying, yeah. | 11:28 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, I can only do it one channel at a time and the setting is reset when I restart xchat. | 11:28 |
| Slart | !ignorejoin | 11:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ignorejoin | 11:28 |
| Slart | bah | 11:28 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, I don't want any of those messages in the chat window, for all channels, ever. | 11:29 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: /set irc_conf_mode 1 | 11:29 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: I believe that should persist, but I can't tell you for sure. | 11:29 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, is that a preference I'm telling the server directly? | 11:29 |
| Flannel | duncan_busy: No, thats an xchat setting | 11:29 |
| duncan_busy | Flannel, i'll try it and let you know. thanks | 11:30 |
| p4_xxx | hi, i have been reading a lot about how can i configure an account user to restric them in only see her/his home directory and not to see other user account and surf around them but im confused, i created an account with the name guest without privileges but with this account im able to see everything on other users account. can someone help if is it possible to achieve this in ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | p4_xxx: are you looking at chrooting ? | 11:30 |

| wols | p4_xxx: ls -l /home | 11:31 |
| wols | are home directories readable by world? | 11:31 |
| duncan_busy | p4_xxx, you need to go to the other accounts and make sure that the bottom set of permission 'Others' does not have read any rights. | 11:31 |

| mutk__ | Greetings all. I am about to download Ubuntu 8.04. The problem I have is that the release notes are arranged under version number but the mirrors are arranged under the release name. SO which is 8.04 ? | 11:37 |
| wols | Nikso1: what videocard? | 11:37 |
| duncan_busy | Nikso1, which version of Ubuntu are you trying? | 11:37 |
| Slart | mutk__: 8.04 would be hardy heron | 11:37 |
| wols | mutk__: hardy heron is 8.04 | 11:37 |
| duncan_busy | mutk__, they all point to the same CD's | 11:37 |
| Nikso1 | 8.04 | 11:37 |
| wols | Nikso1: which videocard do you use? | 11:37 |
| mutk__ | Slart, wols duncan_busy Thanks guys.. | 11:37 |
| Nikso1 | Via Chrome 9 hc | 11:37 |
| duncan_busy | wols, I need to get something else done, I hope you can help Nikso1 . Duncan out. | 11:38 |

| wols | Nikso1: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:39 |
| Nikso1 | Sorry Wols | 11:39 |
| wols | p4_xxx: see all those drwxr-xr-x parts? those ar permissions. the last r-x means it is world readable by everyone | 11:40 |
| Nikso1 | I did not understand you | 11:40 |
| p4_xxx | yes | 11:40 |
| wols | Nikso1: put the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log file i9n a pastebin | 11:40 |

| batsquid | i have an old ubuntu server that just broke down, so i got a new computer and i want to use the old harddisk which is OK and full of files, config etc. i want to spend as little time as possible, so i need to simply use the old disk, no reinstall etc. however, when i start up the new computer, everything is OK until ubuntu starts up X. i don't really need X, but i do need a TTY - none of which are responding to ctrl-c or ctrl-d ; i get no login pr | 11:41 |
| axyjo | single user mode? | 11:42 |
| p4_xxx | ok so i have to change permissions for others right? | 11:42 |
| vox | batsquid: press ctrl-alt-f1 | 11:42 |
| ikonia | basti: boot into single user mode and disable X | 11:42 |
| joaopinto | batsquid, yo use X you will need to reconfigure with: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:42 |
| batsquid | vox, that simply changes to TTY1 which still has the X error message on screen. no response | 11:43 |
| ikonia | batsquid: boot into single user mode and disable X | 11:43 |
| batsquid | joaopinto, well first i need to get a PROMPT | 11:43 |
| joaopinto | batsquid, try TTY2, F2, anyway TTY1 should work | 11:43 |
| ikonia | batsquid: booting into single user mode will give you a prompt | 11:43 |
| joaopinto | you just need to acknowledge the error message | 11:43 |
| batsquid | joaopinto, i have tried, please read my post | 11:43 |
| batsquid | ikonia, how do i do that? | 11:44 |
| Nikso1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/37394/ | 11:44 |
| ikonia | batsquid: add the line "single" to your kernel boot parameters | 11:44 |
| batsquid | joaopinto, wrong. | 11:44 |
| Nikso1 | Good idea this service | 11:44 |
| batsquid | ikonia, how can i do that w/o a prompt | 11:44 |
| mutk__ | Well I _think_ I need a very specific version 8.04' as I am tracking down a suspected lib-ssl or perl LWP problem.. It appears that http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/8.04/ has the same files available as http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/8.04.1/ | 11:44 |
| joaopinto | batsquid, well, follow ikonia's sugesstion | 11:44 |
| ikonia | basti: press "e" at the grub menu and edit the line | 11:45 |
| nogagplz | Hey guys, is there a guide somewhere on how to disable Pulseaudio in Kubuntu 8.04? | 11:45 |
| batsquid | ikonia, thank you | 11:45 |
| lunch | the lease time for dhcp server is measured in minutes? hours? | 11:45 |
| Slart | lunch: seconds is the standard for commands afaik | 11:45 |
| p4_xxx | like for a user in the home directory for the user test-x i have to write like this sudo chmod 700 -R test-x is this correct? | 11:45 |
| mutk__ | Anyone that watched the release of 8.04, was it originally released with files called ubuntu-8.04.1..., ? | 11:46 |
| Slart | lunch: might be different for some stuff though.. what does the man page say? | 11:46 |
| lunch | Slart, ok. how to tell server to discard all leases when rebooted? | 11:46 |
| joaopinto | p4_xxx, if you want to 700 on the entire dir contents, yes, note that you will be setting executable on every file.... | 11:46 |
| Slart | lunch: it doesn't do that by default? | 11:46 |
| xnv | mutk__: Not originally, no. 8.04.1 contains modifications to 8.04 | 11:46 |
| mutk__ | xnv, Ok So that is not what I want :) | 11:47 |
| Flannel | mutk__: 8.04.1 is what you want. | 11:47 |
| xnv | mutk__: Why not? | 11:47 |
| Flannel | mutk__: 8.04.1 is a point release, released 3 months after 8.04, which contains a number of bug fixes and updates on the CD | 11:47 |
| mutk__ | No. As I said I have a very specific _need_ to use original 8.04 | 11:47 |
| === jabba is now known as jabba80 | ||

| JackPhil | i can't trun off acpi | 11:47 |

| alin | Anyone who can help me install wireless card on ubuntu??? | 11:48 |
| JackPhil | it will hang when detect ata or something | 11:48 |
| mutk__ | As I said I am tracking down a behavioural change in perl's LWP , so I need to see the original 8.04 release. | 11:48 |
| joaopinto | mutk__, You will need to digg up on mirrors | 11:48 |
| Flannel | mutk__: You can't get it anymore, as far as I know. | 11:48 |
| xnv | mutk__: "As I said"? When did you ever say these things? | 11:48 |
| === david is now known as Guest88790 | ||

| Flannel | mutk__: "those bugs" include a number of DNS patches, and the SSL patch. | 11:49 |
| p4_xxx | ok so i can do that in folder like Documents. Pictures, videos instead of every file in it i thik i got it | 11:49 |
| xnv | mutk__: Hmm, I stand corrected. Missed that. Sorry. | 11:49 |
| Flannel | mutk__: correct. 8.04 has the same files as 8.04.1, because the former has a few major security issues. | 11:49 |

| jimmyspark | argh my crl shift alt capslock scroll-lock keys have all stopped working please help | 11:49 |
| jimmyspark | lol | 11:50 |
| mutk__ | Flannel Really. It is not for personal use, it is to actually look at the lib-ssl and perl LWP implementations. I have been told it _worked_ on the 8.04 releasde, and was subsequently broken after an update | 11:50 |
| xnv | jimmyspark: Try a different keyboard | 11:50 |
| Nikso1 | Wols I tried everything to make it works | 11:50 |
| batsquid | mutk__ shouldn't you be at #ubuntu-devel | 11:51 |
| mutk__ | batsquid, No, I don't think so. This is a general q, how to get original 8.04 :) | 11:52 |
| Flannel | mutk__: I don't know of any mirrors that have 8.04 anymore, I don't even have a personal copy anymore. You can probably ask and get one, or if you have a shipit CD (and maybe the best buy CDs?) | 11:52 |
| mutk__ | Anyway thanks again everyone, appreciate the advice. | 11:52 |
| alin | Wireless card help, please? | 11:52 |
| mutk__ | Flannel, Thanks :) | 11:52 |
| alp | hello, anyone experiencing that the grails homepage (http://grails.org/) is extremly slow, too? its not just slow when showing the page, it slows down my whole system. i'm using the current firefox and i never experienced such things with other websites | 11:52 |
| alp | any ideas? | 11:52 |
| roundhousekick | hi | 11:52 |
| central | hello, please can you tell me what is the best with ubuntu 804.1 GNOME or KDE ? | 11:52 |
| Flannel | central: They're different, its personal preference | 11:53 |
| alp | central: depends on you | 11:53 |
| central | what do you use ? gnome or kde ? | 11:53 |
| roundhousekick | central: you can also use xfce if you want | 11:53 |
| Slart | central: try typing !best | 11:53 |
| batsquid | gnome | 11:53 |
| col | central depends on your preference, but most people use GNOME i would say, and theres a lot of support for it. I find GNOME easier than KDE. | 11:54 |
| alp | central: i'm gnome user, because i dont like kde's way of managing much stuff | 11:54 |
| DistroJockey | central, ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kde | 11:54 |
| batsquid | xubuntu = xfce | 11:54 |
| roundhousekick | xubuntu= xfce | 11:54 |
| bullgard4 | Ubuntu 8.04.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T42 produces no sound after I removed and re-inserted the file ~/.irssi/irssi-sound-script.pl and added a softlink ~/.irssi/autorun/splitlong.pl. Pressing GNOME Sound Preferences > Sound Events > Sound playback > Autodetect > > Test does not produce any sound. The Volume control applet has disappeared. How to troubleshoot? | 11:54 |
| central | so i better to keep using gnome | 11:55 |
| Slart | bullgard4: see if alsa finds your card, "cat /proc/asound/cards" | 11:55 |
| batsquid | central, you may like the others, just try them :) | 11:56 |
| Slart | central: try the live cd of both kubuntu and ubuntu... see which one you like best | 11:56 |
| alp | bullgard4: ubuntu 8 uses pulseaudio as default. try installing pavucontrol | 11:56 |
| central | yes you give me a good idea | 11:56 |
| central | i will try both :) | 11:56 |
| wols | bullgard4: check if alsa stuff is still loaded and working | 11:56 |
| backenfutter | is there a way to tell my laptop it should act as router between eth0 and ppp ? | 11:56 |
| Lifeisfunny | I've lost all entries in my xchat server menu. happened with the entries under gthumb's 'Move' feature too. (a repost; pardons if to early) | 11:57 |
| col | central, if your pc is really slow, it would pay of, perfomancewise, using xfce | 11:57 |
| Slart | backenfutter: I would say yes.. iptables can do almost anything.. except make breakfast =) | 11:57 |
| linduxed | what tools do i use to check hdd integrity (thoroughly)? | 11:58 |
| Slart | backenfutter: take a look at !ics ... I think it talks mostly about sharing a network connection between two network cards.. but it might be adaptable to your case | 11:58 |
| Slart | linduxed: fsck? | 11:58 |
| Nikso1 | wols do you know some thing about my problem? | 11:58 |
| linduxed | Slart: is the the most thorough tool at disposal? | 11:58 |
| Slart | linduxed: there might be some other stuff.. perhaps something that stress-tests the hard drive more | 11:59 |
| bullgard4 | Slart: : 'aplay -l' and 'cat /proc/asound/cards' both find "Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981B at irq 11". | 11:59 |
| Slart | linduxed: what do you want to do? | 11:59 |
| Slart | bullgard4: try the pulseaudio suggestion then.. seems like alsa finds the card at least | 11:59 |
| roundhousekick | would ubuntu MID edition work on asus eee pc? | 11:59 |
| alp | could anyone try www.grail.org? does it slow down the whole system in firefox3 or is it just me? very weird stuff | 12:00 |
| Slart | linduxed: !eee | 12:00 |

| Slart | reikalusikka: I've found that samba can be really slow.. there are some speed tweaks out there (google will help you there) but I didn't find anything that made a real difference | 12:04 |
| reikalusikka | Slart: I don't use samba :p | 12:04 |
| Slart | reikalusikka: oh.. what are you using? | 12:04 |
| reikalusikka | In xp I just share the file and then go in the network file | 12:04 |
| reikalusikka | right click folder->share | 12:04 |
| wols | bullgard4: what do the alsa mixers do? | 12:05 |
| Slart | reikalusikka: ok.. and what protocol does that use? | 12:05 |
| reikalusikka | Slart: what do you mean? | 12:05 |
| nomasteryoda | there is an issue that i remember with samba and portmap .. or there was that slowed it to a crawl | 12:05 |
| Nikso1 | I need help! I want to do my graphic card works. can someone help me ? | 12:05 |
| ikonia | nomasteryoda: samba shouldn't be aware of portmapper ? | 12:05 |
| Slart | reikalusikka: what protocol are you using.. ftp, http, nfs.. or perhaps smb? | 12:05 |
| nomasteryoda | i know | 12:05 |
| reikalusikka | Slart: I really don't know I just right click folder in xp and properties-> share | 12:06 |
| nomasteryoda | its still too early | 12:06 |
| reikalusikka | then in ubuntu I go to network folder and drag and drop | 12:06 |
| reikalusikka | haven't tried ftp | 12:06 |
| Slart | reikalusikka: I think you'll find that you are using samba if you're sharing files between windows and ubuntu | 12:06 |
| Slart | !samba | 12:06 |
| bullgard4 | wols: The 'Sound preferences' dialog window presents Default mixer Tracks > Device: 'Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa mixer)'. So I believe that ALSA stuff is still loaded. But it is not working. | 12:06 |
| 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. | 12:06 |
| reikalusikka | I haven't installed it tho lol | 12:06 |
| reikalusikka | how do I see if I have it installed? | 12:07 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka samba support is built in | 12:07 |
| reikalusikka | oh ok | 12:07 |
| reikalusikka | should I try ftp instead | 12:07 |
| bullgard4 | wols: What should I answer to your question: "what do the alsa mixers do?" Please elaborate. | 12:07 |
| Slart | reikalusikka: "dpkg -l | grep -i samba" might show you something | 12:08 |
| alin | Can anyone help me install wireless card on ubuntu! i'm almost there... | 12:08 |

| reikalusikka | so I guess it's installed | 12:08 |

| batsquid | ikonia, i have now booted my server with 'single' as kernel parameter. it asks me for root password 'for maintenance' - however that is scrambled for security reasons... so i pressed ctrl-d and same problem like before. now what... | 12:10 |
| Slart | reikalusikka: give ftp a try... see if the speeds improve | 12:10 |
| icesword | mneptok, hi | 12:10 |
| reikalusikka | Slart: Ok | 12:10 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka my advice is use WinSCP (free windows software) from your windows PC to your ubuntu pc | 12:12 |
| p4_xxx | ok now other user cant see what is on my desktop,documents, pictures etc. :), but now other problem i have dual boot, xp and ubuntu, in this box, now my xp drive is in the desktop they can see evrithing, internet temp files history , i share this pc with two person, i think no more share. i need to learn a lot. | 12:12 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: ok | 12:12 |
| reikalusikka | I'll try both lol | 12:12 |

| payman | thx | 12:16 |
| batsquid | payman tried http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ ? | 12:17 |

| Circus-Killer | payman, skype works well | 12:17 |

| Slart | chronographer: nvidia has had some problems lately.. check their linux forums.. ati/amd is getting better and with their new policy when it comes to open source I think they will be the choice for linux soon | 12:17 |
| Circus-Killer | yup | 12:17 |
| jazon | hi. can i update just my kernel from 2.6.20 to 2.6.24 ? | 12:18 |
| Circus-Killer | not free as in free speach, but free as in beer | 12:18 |
| batsquid | payman yes | 12:18 |
| AzizLight | favro: yeah but it would work perfectly with gnome-terminal right? | 12:18 |
| Slart | chronographer: but right now.. I'm not sure.. I'm just happy my computer works without problems.. | 12:18 |
| legend2440 | batsquid: what? | 12:18 |
| Circus-Killer | (couldnt resist) | 12:18 |
| favro | AzizLight: sure | 12:18 |
| mneptok | Circus-Killer: "speech" :P | 12:19 |
| batsquid | legend2440 never mind, just that not everybody are experienced with English | 12:19 |
| payman | thx a lot one qustion,sorry!if i have voice chat whit another pc both of pc should have a skyp? | 12:19 |
| amd007 | What configurations I have to do in php to use ImageMagick?? I m using Ubuntu linux, XAMPP server & ImageMagic is already installed in Ubuntu | 12:19 |
| mneptok | payman: correct | 12:19 |
| chronographer | =) i know, i want cutting edge, but don't want to bleed... starting to think ati is the way to go. I just have had better luck with nvidia for tv-out and 3d accel. I am using ati now and google earth goes way too slow. | 12:19 |
| mneptok | chronographer: are you looking at a new machine or a new add-in? | 12:19 |
| chronographer | new machine | 12:20 |
| mneptok | chronographer: go with Intel | 12:20 |
| chronographer | yep | 12:20 |
| Slart | chronographer: before you run off buying a brand new nvidia card.. check out the nvidia linux forums.. I have a nvidia card myself which is working nicely but there seems to be many people out there with problems | 12:20 |
| payman | thx my friends bye;) | 12:20 |
| mneptok | chronographer: forget nVidia or ATI questions. just use Intel end-to-end. | 12:20 |
| chronographer | ok. I have a gtx 260 lined up, but maybe I should go a cheaper older one | 12:20 |
| legend2440 | batsquid: earlier he asked <payman> can i have a dictionary in my ubuntu? so i was trying to tell him how to add dictionary to panel | 12:20 |
| batsquid | legend2440 oh, sorry. | 12:21 |
| chronographer | mneptok: no graphics card? | 12:21 |
| wols | is there a "minimal install" for ubuntu? one file on the cd is bad it seems. can I install only a base system without downloading another ISO which taks 1 hour? | 12:21 |
| reverseblade | !bot | 12:21 |
| 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 | 12:21 |
| roundhousekick | where can I download latest driver for nvidia geforce 9000M Series? | 12:21 |
| mneptok | chronographer: Intel graphics | 12:21 |
| chronographer | hmmm... | 12:21 |
| payman | legend2440 i solve my problem thx for u | 12:21 |
| wols | roundhousekick: you might need nvidia.com drivers there. hardy has 169.xx only | 12:21 |
| Flannel | wols: The alternate CD can, Desktop gives you one option: Full system. Is the ISO bad or the burn? | 12:21 |
| legend2440 | payman: your welcome | 12:21 |
| mneptok | chronographer: all of Intels grfx chipsets use 100% open drivers | 12:22 |
| wols | the burn definitely. dunno about the ISO yet | 12:22 |
| Flannel | !md5 | wols | 12:22 |
| ubottu | wols: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 12:22 |
| roundhousekick | will 169 driver work with a 9600M GT? | 12:22 |
| wols | Flannel: alternate is same size as desktop :( | 12:22 |
| chronographer | mneptok: i do like games sometimes though... | 12:22 |
| wols | I know abouzt md5 | 12:22 |
| payman | :) i came back alater here is a good place:) i new user for ubuntu | 12:22 |
| Flannel | wols: there's a minimal iso, its 8mb. Of course you download packages during the install, | 12:23 |
| Flannel | !minimal | wols | 12:23 |
| ubottu | wols: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 12:23 |
| batsquid | payman glad to have you with us :) later | 12:23 |
| payman | thx see u all later;) bye | 12:23 |
| mneptok | chronographer: that's why Sony made the PS3 | 12:23 |
| chronographer | =) | 12:24 |
| mneptok | (which also runs Ubuntu) | 12:24 |
| roundhousekick | mneptok: could the "old" xbox run xubuntu? | 12:25 |
| wols | Flannel: the minimal cd looks like what I want. and the download is bad :( | 12:25 |
| chronographer | ps3 has a thing in the menu called 'install alternate OS' its designed for dual boot... they virtualise everything though, so no 3d i hear | 12:25 |
| balachmar | Hi, how can I see the output of a running commandline utility when I log into the machine through ssh? | 12:26 |
| maek | oh dear Flannel is here ... well no helping anyone for me .. damn | 12:26 |
| mneptok | roundhousekick: no idea. i don't use or endorse any Microsoft products. | 12:26 |
| chronographer | balachmar: run it with screen ??? | 12:26 |
| roundhousekick | mneptok: look at this page: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page | 12:26 |
| balachmar | chronographer: But it is already running... And I don't want to restart it. | 12:27 |
| roundhousekick | chronographer: I have screen, but I want to buy a new notebook which has a nvidia geforce 9600M GT :) | 12:27 |
| mneptok | roundhousekick: something about "Xbox Linux" feels like "Satanic Christianity" | 12:28 |
| mneptok | :P | 12:28 |
| maek | laptops have a 9600GT ?? niiice | 12:28 |
| chronographer | balachmar: then I think no | 12:28 |
| balachmar | chronographer: OK, thanks for the tip anyway. | 12:28 |
| roundhousekick | maek: 9600M GT, it has same performance as a desktop 9500 GT | 12:28 |
| Lukstr | Does anyone here know how to control the display of an OSD (i.e., have a script make one show up), I'm trying to program my laptop's hotkeys so the brightness adjustments show in the OSD | 12:29 |
| maek | if only NVIDIA could write decent drivers for Linux or Xorg i should say | 12:29 |
| maek | roundhousekick, oh thats kinda crap then | 12:29 |
| ikonia | batsquid: are you fixed now ? | 12:29 |
| roundhousekick | mneptok: but linux on xbox works fine, expecially dsl port and debian sarge port | 12:30 |
| batsquid | Lukstr that's low level stuff, you need to know assembler (for your specific chipset) to do that | 12:30 |
| Lukstr | no, batsquid, the ubuntu OSD | 12:30 |
| joep01 | Good Afternoon. Can anybody give a suggestion to upgrade a Breezy installation to Hardy. I would love to have an automatic upgrade facility as in e.g. Dapper. | 12:30 |
| batsquid | ikonia, nope, the root password is scrambled so i'm still out of luck.. | 12:30 |
| roundhousekick | maek: but it's still enough to play call of duty 4 on max | 12:30 |
| mneptok | roundhousekick: but like i said, i don't use or endorse MS products | 12:30 |
| * mneptok is funny that way | 12:30 | |
| maek | lol wtf Linux on a ms product ?? | 12:31 |
| batsquid | Lukstr oh, don't know about that, sorry | 12:31 |
| wols | Lukstr: not doable. OSD is different. you could fake the OSD of course | 12:31 |
| Slart | joep01: I would recommand a reinstall.. but type !upgrade and see what the bot thinks about it | 12:31 |
| ikonia | batsquid: are you using ubuntu ? | 12:31 |
| vnix | I get "fail to connect to stream: invalid argument" when trying to play music | 12:31 |
| Lukstr | wols: then how come the osd pops up when I hit the mute key | 12:31 |
| batsquid | ikonia yes | 12:31 |
| maek | roundhousekick, oh okay .. you gonna play it on native or WINE ?? | 12:31 |
| ikonia | batsquid: single user mode / recovery mode shouldn't ask you for a root password | 12:31 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: where can I get the winscp serveer? | 12:31 |
| mneptok | joep01: upgrade Breezy to Dapper, and then go straight from Dapper to Gutsy. | 12:31 |
| roundhousekick | maek: xbox-linux project is about 4 or 5 years old | 12:31 |
| wols | Lukstr: but you'd need to be able to do some systems programming probably. C would be enough | 12:31 |
| batsquid | ikonia it did (ubuntu server 6.10) | 12:31 |
| joep01 | Slart: That's an idea. One moment.... | 12:31 |
| wols | Lukstr: it's a function of the hard/firmware | 12:31 |
| Flannel | mneptok, joep01: He means dapper to hardy | 12:31 |
| ikonia | batsquid: have you set a root password | 12:31 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka google it | 12:31 |
| * mneptok facepalms | 12:31 | |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: I got the client from the site but I really can't find the client :D | 12:32 |
| Lukstr | wols: how on earth is it a function the hard ware | 12:32 |
| ikonia | batsquid: on the grub menu, you should see multiple options, something like "ubuntu 6.10 server" then "ubuntu 6.10 server recovery mode" | 12:32 |
| mneptok | Flannel: thanks. can you follow me around and explain stuff when i peeve off the wife? ;) | 12:32 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka the winscp (client/server is free software) | 12:32 |
| HymnToLife | batsquid: boot from a live cd and chroot into your Ubuntu system | 12:32 |
| maek | oh I didn't know that lol roundhousekick | 12:32 |
| ikonia | batsquid: if you select "recovery mode" it won't ask you for a password | 12:32 |
| HymnToLife | then you can change the root password | 12:32 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: is the client the server also? | 12:32 |
| reikalusikka | I'm a bit confused | 12:32 |
| Lukstr | Ubuntu has it's own built in OSD for when you adjust the volume, or screen brightness, has nothing to do with hardware. It should be pure software. | 12:32 |
| maek | I know you can install ubuntu on a PS3 | 12:32 |
| vnix | I get "fail to connect to stream: invalid argument" when trying to play music. Please help. Thanks | 12:32 |
| chronographer | i installed ubuntu on my toaster | 12:33 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: winscp is a client that can do multiple protocols | 12:33 |
| ikonia | chronographer: please dont mess around like that | 12:33 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: there is no such thing as a winscp server | 12:33 |
| roundhousekick | maek: you can use ubuntu and debian etch on a flashed xbox 360 | 12:33 |
| Hodenkeks | http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/1933371/ | 12:33 |
| chronographer | =P | 12:33 |
| Hodenkeks | http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/1933371/ | 12:33 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: well how do I set it up or something | 12:33 |
| tomaw | Hodenkeks: do not spam pennergame links please. | 12:33 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: which one? ssh? | 12:33 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: I need to connect to a server | 12:33 |
| reikalusikka | well | 12:33 |
| HymnToLife | reikalusikka: just what do you want to do? | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Hodenkeks: stop | 12:33 |
| reikalusikka | transfer files | 12:33 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: what do you want the server to do? | 12:33 |
| reikalusikka | in lan | 12:33 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: for lan, ftp is probably sufficient | 12:33 |
| reikalusikka | xp->ubuntu | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Hodenkeks: please stop posting spam links | 12:34 |
| reikalusikka | ok | 12:34 |
| chronographer | reikalusikka: ssh "sudo apt-get install openssh" | 12:34 |
| HymnToLife | reikalusikka: then you must install the OpenSSH server on your Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 12:34 |
| Slart | Hodenkeks did it earlier today too.. | 12:34 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: vsftpd is a light FTP server. just install it and move the files to /home/ftp | 12:34 |
| joep01 | Slart: No result. !upgrade in a command window says: command not found. mneptok: How? Apparently there is no upgrade facility. The only other way I think of is to install from scratch but I will then loos a lot of stuff. | 12:34 |
| Slart | I don't think telling him off will help | 12:34 |
| reikalusikka | uhm | 12:34 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: another way is using SSH, which enables you to use a machine remotely | 12:34 |
| Slart | joep01: oh.. I meant in here.. in the channel | 12:34 |
| maek | roundhousekick, lol I wonder what MS think of that ... | 12:34 |
| Slart | !upgrade | 12:34 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 12:34 |
| reikalusikka | why do I need openssh? | 12:34 |
| reikalusikka | :D | 12:34 |
| chronographer | you can transfer files using ssh | 12:34 |
| reikalusikka | I know | 12:34 |
| joep01 | Slart: OK!! | 12:35 |
| batsquid | kenkku_ there is a winscp client / server google it. | 12:35 |
| reikalusikka | hmm | 12:35 |
| joep01 | !upgrade | 12:35 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: openssh is a way to do it. you can copy files over ssh, it's also securely encrpted | 12:35 |
| chronographer | or just use smb | 12:35 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: ok | 12:35 |
| kenkku_ | batsquid: but there is no such thing as winscp protocol | 12:35 |
| mneptok | joep01: grab a Dapper CD image and insert in into your Breezy install. upgrade. reboot, update Dapper, and then hop to Hardy. | 12:35 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka sorry was afk. just download winscp and connect to the ubuntu machine | 12:35 |
| chronographer | "gksu shares-admin" | 12:35 |
| roundhousekick | will the 9000 series drivers work on 9000 mobile series? | 12:35 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: how do I connect | 12:35 |
| chronographer | use your ip address | 12:35 |
| batsquid | kenkku_ so? it uses SCP or SFTP | 12:35 |
| Slart | joep01: the bot doesn't like repeating itself.. check a few lines up.. | 12:35 |
| kenkku_ | batsquid: it's like one would say "where do I get a putty server?" | 12:36 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: what do I need to do in ubuntu | 12:36 |
| HymnToLife | reikalusikka: install openssh-server | 12:36 |
| reikalusikka | so I just need to setup openssh and connect to it | 12:36 |
| reikalusikka | ok | 12:36 |
| HymnToLife | yes | 12:36 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka make sure you have a SSH server running like HymnToLife said | 12:36 |
| djamel | hi all, can someone tell me if there's a netinstall for hardy ? each time i burn the ISO, it tells me there's an error on the cd and the install fails.. | 12:36 |
| chronographer | openssh needs no setting up afaik | 12:36 |
| Flannel | !minimal | djamel | 12:36 |
| ubottu | djamel: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 12:36 |
| joep01 | mneptok: Yes. That is a possibility but do I first have to reformat the partition? | 12:36 |
| Slart | !minimal | djamel | 12:36 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: ok | 12:36 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: just install openssh-server and then you can use winscp to connect to it (jos haluat windows-koneelta yhdistää) | 12:37 |
| mneptok | joep01: nope | 12:37 |
| vnix | erm.... hello anyone please help me? thanks | 12:37 |
| djamel | thanks :)) | 12:37 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: ok thank you(kiitti:P) | 12:37 |
| HymnToLife | vnix: what's up? | 12:37 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: when connecting to a ssh server, I believe the relevant option in winscp is "scp". scp is a way to copy files over ssh | 12:37 |
| djamel | by the way i was in an ubuntu event in caracas last month, it was cool :) | 12:38 |
| HymnToLife | kenkku_: WinSCP will use SFTP by default | 12:38 |
| HymnToLife | anfand fallback to SFTP if it fails | 12:38 |
| joep01 | mneptok: I didn't think Dapper is a live-CD version from where you can install. | 12:38 |
| reikalusikka | ok | 12:38 |
| HymnToLife | ... or the otherway around maybe, not sure | 12:38 |
| kenkku_ | HymnToLife: you mean scp by default, fallback to sftp? | 12:38 |
| vnix | HymnToLife thanks for reply. I get "fail to connect to stream: invalid argument" when trying to play music. Please help. Thanks | 12:38 |
| Flannel | kenkku_: no, scp is a fallback for sftp | 12:38 |
| HymnToLife | anyway, both will work on a default OpenSSH install | 12:38 |
| kenkku_ | HymnToLife: yes, I remember the default is to use both | 12:38 |
| reikalusikka | do I use 127.0.0.1 when connecting in lan to the server? | 12:39 |
| kenkku_ | what's sftp, btw? | 12:39 |
| mneptok | joep01: your Breezy install will detect the new (Dapper) release when you insert the CD and it will offer to upgrade from it. | 12:39 |
| kenkku_ | is it FTP over SSH? | 12:39 |
| HymnToLife | vnix: codecs problem maybe? | 12:39 |
| Flannel | kenkku_: More or less, yeah. | 12:39 |
| HymnToLife | kenkku_: no | 12:39 |
| HymnToLife | no | 12:39 |
| reikalusikka | scp | 12:39 |
| batsquid | kenkku_ secure ftp | 12:39 |
| reikalusikka | or sftp | 12:39 |
| reikalusikka | not sure yet :D | 12:39 |
| kenkku_ | but does it relate to SSH in any way= | 12:39 |
| kenkku_ | *? | 12:39 |
| HymnToLife | yes | 12:39 |
| batsquid | SCP != SFTP | 12:39 |
| Flannel | !enter | 12:39 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:39 |
| HymnToLife | itbut not to FTP | 12:39 |
| vnix | I try to reinstall already and it was perfect until just now. i wonder which upgrade causing that | 12:39 |
| joep01 | mneptok: Thanks. I will try that and see what happens. I will be back later. Thanks again. | 12:39 |
| HymnToLife | it has nothing to do with FTP | 12:39 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: 127.0.0.1 is the local computer. eli se kone itse | 12:40 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: internal IPs differ, some use 10.0.0.x, some use others | 12:40 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: what should I use then | 12:40 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: how do I see it? | 12:40 |
| HymnToLife | kenkku_: both SCP and SFTP will work | 12:40 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: you can get a clue of the internal ip naming scheme by checking out your own IP | 12:40 |
| Flannel | HymnToLife: It serves the same purpose, and if we're not going to be technical, sftp : ftp :: ssh : telnet is good enough for most people. | 12:40 |
| HymnToLife | you shouldn't need to modify the default settings, just enter the IP adress of the server and your login info | 12:40 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: ifconfig will show you the computer's IP address | 12:41 |
| agent | is there a way to focus the window that gnome-open opened a document in? | 12:41 |
| HymnToLife | Flannel: Ubuntu and Windows also serve the same purpose, they're both OSes ;) | 12:41 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: on windows, it's under some menus in the network admin thingy | 12:41 |
| roundhousekick | will the 9000 series drivers work on 9000 mobile series? (I was AFK) | 12:41 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: I found it | 12:41 |
| batsquid | Flannel you really shouldn't advice people to use anything /not secure/. you never know what they use it for | 12:41 |
| reikalusikka | kenkku_: and got it working | 12:41 |
| Flannel | HymnToLife: And for a good portion of the population, they don't care/know/whatever that they use. | 12:41 |
| Flannel | batsquid: What? | 12:42 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: HymnToLife kenkku_ thank you all lol | 12:42 |
| kenkku_ | reikalusikka: hyvä | 12:42 |
| HymnToLife | roundhousekick: if that's nvidia you're talking about, each release of the drivers comes with a complete list of supported devices, so I guess you could check that | 12:42 |
| batsquid | Flannel therefore point them to a /secure/ alternative.. | 12:42 |
| Flannel | batsquid: What are you talking about? | 12:42 |
| pajamian | batsquid: you shouldn't advise anyone on anything unless you know what they will use it for. | 12:42 |
| batsquid | Flannel you said sftp : ftp :: ssh : telnet is good enough for most people. | 12:42 |
| Flannel | batsquid: right. The comparsion of "sftp is to ftp as ssh is to telnet" is accurate enough | 12:43 |
| batsquid | pajamian you can, if you are considering security | 12:43 |
| pajamian | batsquid: so everyone should drive an armoured car to work and never consider a bicycle? | 12:43 |
| batsquid | pajamian in computing - YES | 12:44 |
| batsquid | pajamian read up. | 12:44 |
| batsquid | security matters | 12:44 |
| HymnToLife | pajamian: so what are you suggesting here? | 12:44 |
| vnix | HymnToLife: I change the setting in sound. I change all the auto detect to manual ^^ | 12:44 |
| kenkku_ | in computing it should never be of any harm to use a secure alternative. usually it has no difference in the usage | 12:44 |
| batsquid | kenkku_ good point | 12:44 |
| pajamian | I'm suggesting that FTP is appropriate for some circumstances over SFTP and it really depends on the situation. You shouldn't advise one way or the other without knowing the situation first. | 12:45 |
| mutk__ | People need to be protected from themselves. THerefore any security is good security. | 12:45 |
| kenkku_ | it doesn't feeel different to use a secure way, because you really never see any difference between them | 12:45 |
| kenkku_ | it's all under the hood | 12:45 |
| HymnToLife | pajamian: we know the situation, he explained it well enough | 12:45 |
| Flannel | Alright, we're getting offtopic. If anyone wants to continue this conversation, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:45 |
| kenkku_ | whereas the difference between a tank and a bicycle is.. well, noticeable | 12:45 |
| batsquid | nuff said. | 12:46 |
| DavidDavid | every time, I always face choices, short time, small team, no money | 12:46 |
| kenkku_ | well, I'll end it here | 12:46 |
| kenkku_ | could someone dim the sun for me please, my screen doesn't like it | 12:46 |
| DavidDavid | best tested solution, best application, that's only I can do | 12:46 |
| mutk__ | Flannel, I think I figured out why 8.04 has been removed from mirrors. A rather dramatic SSL problem was found. As you and others alluded to. | 12:46 |
| HymnToLife | mutk__: yeah, I laughed quite hard that day :p | 12:47 |
| Flannel | mutk__: I believe its standard practice for point releases anyway. I don't think you can get 6.06 anymore either, juts 6.06.1 | 12:47 |
| mneptok | mutk__: SSH, not SSL. | 12:47 |
| DavidDavid | Continue to progress, CIMM, best tested solution, best application, earn very small money. | 12:48 |
| wols | Flannel: thank you for the minimal CD link. Exactly the kind of installer I need :) | 12:48 |
| batsquid | DavidDavid off-topic | 12:48 |
| DavidDavid | every time, I always face choices, short time, small team, no money; clients need CIMM, best tested solution, best application, | 12:49 |
| Flannel | DavidDavid: Please stop. | 12:49 |
| batsquid | !admin | 12:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about admin | 12:49 |
| Flannel | batsquid: We're around, don't worry | 12:49 |
| HymnToLife | batsquid: ! ops | 12:49 |
| HymnToLife | if they're not around | 12:49 |
| batsquid | HymnToLife thanks | 12:49 |

| HymnToLife | And I gave up on Linux on servers long ago | 12:52 |
| === robert__ is now known as Devil_Inside | ||
| mutk__ | Flannel, So any hints where I'd find the source packages on mirrors? Or do the mirrors no carry them? (BTW I notice you get silly trolls here too) | 12:53 |
| HymnToLife | and this was really the stupidest thing ever | 12:53 |
| HymnToLife | oh | 12:53 |
| HymnToLife | sorry to shatter your dreams ;) | 12:54 |
| HymnToLife | anyway | 12:54 |
| batsquid | HymnToLife what do you mean "gave up on linux on servers"? what do you use now? | 12:54 |
| sam__ | nklnml | 12:54 |
| HymnToLife | source packages, I guess they are on the mirrors, since you can get them with apt-dource | 12:54 |
| Flannel | mutk__: Unfortunately no community is free of trolls. But, no, I really have no idea where to find the old stuff. I'm *sure* it exists somewhere, but that somewhere may not be publically available. | 12:54 |
| HymnToLife | batsquid: Windows | 12:54 |
| HymnToLife | .. | 12:54 |
| HymnToLife | nah, just kidding, BSD | 12:54 |
| wols | mutk__: source packages of what exactly? | 12:54 |
| sam__ | can we run gtalk on ubuntu | 12:54 |
| sam__ | ? | 12:55 |
| mutk__ | wols, 8.04 of course :) | 12:55 |
| sam__ | how? | 12:55 |
| kenkku_ | sam__: yes, without the voice calls afaik | 12:55 |
| snarkster | sam__: gtalk as in google talk? | 12:55 |
| wols | mutk__:the source debs are all available at the same place as the binaries | 12:55 |
| wols | tarbaals are available too | 12:55 |
| askand | Is there something like http analyzer for Ubuntu? | 12:55 |
| batsquid | HymnToLife just had to ask. for me linux is good enough for my home server so far | 12:56 |
| mutk__ | I come from the Red Hat world, where we keep archives of most releases and interim updates on a FTP server for sources.. I assume Ubuntu does the same.. | 12:56 |
| Slart | askand: what does http analyzer do? | 12:56 |
| sam__ | how can we run gtalk on ubuntu?? | 12:56 |
| HymnToLife | batsquid: we're going OT here, beware of the ops :p | 12:56 |
| mutk__ | wols, Sure I know. But as I said I need the actual sources of the 8.04 releas not the updated one.. | 12:56 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: my transger seed is now lower lol :D | 12:56 |
| kenkku_ | sam__: you can't, maybe with wine, but it's probably not the best idea | 12:56 |
| wols | sam__: yes. gtalk is simply jabber | 12:56 |
| askand | Slart: It can trace and display wide range of information, including Header, Timing, Content, Cookies, Query Strings, Post data, Request and Response Stream, redirection URLs and more. It has a request builder that enables you to handcraft a HTTP/HTTPS Request. It also provides cache information and session clearing, as well as HTTP status code information and several filtering options. A useful developer tool for p | 12:57 |
| kenkku_ | sam__: you can use pidgin to use google talk, but you won't be able to to make calls | 12:57 |
| snarkster | use pidgin to talk on gtalk | 12:57 |
| wols | sam__: any jabber client works | 12:57 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka what? | 12:57 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: my transfer speed through winscp is slower than with samba | 12:57 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka oh you mean transfer speed :) | 12:57 |
| wols | mutk__: remove security from sources.list and apt-get update. then try to get sources | 12:57 |
| Slart | askand: I guess there might be something available for firefox.. a plugin perhaps.. you could always sniff the network traffic if you want to do it the hard way | 12:58 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: yeah | 12:58 |
| lolo | can someone tell me why i get picture but no sound when i run ivtv-tune -c 4? | 12:58 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka too bad.. | 12:58 |
| mutk__ | wols, Good plan. | 12:58 |

| batsquid | reikalusikka are you sure you are transferring through /local/ and not via internet and back? | 12:58 |
| wols | askand: there are ffox plugins. look for "header" | 12:58 |
| legend2440 | sam_ there is a package called gtalk in synaptic. not sure if thats the same one your asking about | 12:59 |
| askand | Slart: I want to sniff the trafick from a certain process is that possible? | 12:59 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: how I transfer through local? | 12:59 |
| kenkku_ | askand: you can inspect network traffic within firefox with firebug | 12:59 |
| wols | askand: liveheaders I think is the´extension name. and there are others like webdeveloper and the like | 12:59 |
| Slart | askand: afaik you can't do that.. | 12:59 |
| bullgard4 | What is the process name of Ubuntu's sound daemon? | 12:59 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka if both computers are on the same network | 12:59 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: yes | 12:59 |
| pisse | Hi! Is there a nice script that can make thumbnails easy? Would be nice with a right-click and "make thumbnail" or something directly in the file browser. Or maybe a add-on to gimp can do it? | 12:59 |
| wols | askand: yes, wireshark can do that | 12:59 |
| askand | wols: nice | 12:59 |
| wols | bullgard4: there are several. depends which one you run. | 12:59 |
| mutk__ | wireshark can follow a protocol | 12:59 |
| Slart | bullgard4: pulseaudio uses alsa afaik.. I dont know what the alsa process is called | 13:00 |
| wols | mutk__: and PIDs | 13:00 |

| batsquid | reikalusikka i don't know your network config | 13:01 |
| kenkku_ | that's one way :P | 13:01 |
| sam__ | THANX | 13:01 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: now I have the 2 computers connected to a modem, the other by wireless | 13:01 |

| bullgard4 | wols: Please tell me the names. | 13:02 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka hard for me to say, but using the above should get the two on the same net temporarily | 13:02 |
| wols | I only know the names of the programs, not binaries, but dpkg -L is helpful there | 13:02 |

| batsquid | tommo from where? | 13:04 |
| reikalusikka | I don't want to mess with my internet configs | 13:04 |
| Slart | sam__: sound amplifier? audacity can edit sounds.. probably make them louder too | 13:05 |
| pajamian | tommo: force quit what? | 13:05 |
| tommo | well is there something similar to task manager in ubuntu so I can see all tasks running and end tasks as needed | 13:05 |
| batsquid | reikalusikka if that's too much work... well, you could simply unplug your modem - unless your LAN goes through a routermodem of yours | 13:05 |
| Slart | tommo: system monitor.. in system, administration | 13:05 |
| reikalusikka | batsquid: no it doesn't | 13:05 |

| wols | opr: huh? | 13:07 |
| mahesh | help>>> i want to know a good player which can play the .rm files and .rmvb also | 13:08 |
| batsquid | tommo open a terminal or console from your menu in ubuntu. type `ps aux | grep -i NAME` (replace NAME with name of program) and you will get a PID (process id). use that with kill to end the program . type `kill PID` (replace PID with the pid you got from previous step) | 13:08 |
| wols | opr: are you trying to execute shellcode via env variable? | 13:08 |
| opr | well sureley SHELLCODE is stored in the memory? | 13:08 |
| wols | !realmedia | 13:08 |

| wols | anyone who who tries to put shellcode into a env var is not even a script kiddie | 13:09 |
| opr | bazhang, he called me a script kiddy | 13:09 |
| pajamian | mahesh: just about any Linux media player will do if you have the right codecs. | 13:09 |
| bastid_raZor | wols; i bet you get talked mean to just about daily.. IMO to the point answers are best | 13:10 |
| opr | wols: stfu fag, its a way to exploit things, you obviously know nothing about stack smashing etc | 13:10 |
| Chrizz_ | good morning everyone | 13:10 |

| opr | i am asking: how do i find what address in the memory is my env var being stored? | 13:11 |
| bazhang | opr this is likely the wrong channel for you | 13:11 |
| opr | right ok, thx | 13:12 |
| batsquid | opr that is a low level q | 13:12 |
| mahesh | pajamian :: yup | 13:12 |
| opr | batsquid, oh right ok i'll go elsehwere | 13:12 |
| opr | wols: pussy | 13:12 |
| pajamian | mahesh: well, you probably want the proprietary w32codecs package from medibuntu. | 13:12 |
| Dazed | is there some equivalent to system restore in ubuntu | 13:13 |
| bullgard4 | What is the process name of Ubuntu's sound daemon? | 13:13 |
| erUSUL | opr: with a debugger? of the various shell processes XD | 13:13 |

| erUSUL | bazhang: you have to make sure the sound apps you use are using pulseaudio or esd ... | 13:17 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: ^ | 13:17 |
| bazhang | Dazed, when did this start messing up? an update, installing some new software or what | 13:17 |
| Dazed | i guess ill turn them all off and try turning the effects up from appearances again | 13:17 |
| bullgard4 | erUSUL: What does '^' mean? | 13:17 |
| Dazed | i dont know it seemed random, but it might have been something i did, and then let the computer chill for some hours, then when i restarted it screwed up | 13:17 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: dunno how the conf is done in irssi maybe it is trying to use alsa directly | 13:17 |
| Dazed | it would be hard to nail exactly what did it | 13:17 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | Thanks jrib | 13:45 |
| KenBW2 | how can i make gnome-terminal always open at less than 480px in height? | 13:45 |
| rtw35783 | bullgard4: the T42 has additional hardware volume/mute buttons. did you try them? | 13:45 |
| marsupilami | ok and what can I find there? | 13:45 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: you are on alsa right? | 13:45 |
| ulaas | hardy 2.6.24-19-generic stops at initramfs. | 13:45 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: apt-get install aumix | 13:45 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: then run aumix and see that it loads ok and that relevant channel volume is set properly | 13:46 |
| soundray | MikeSeth: why not use one of the mixers that are default in Ubuntu? | 13:46 |
| rtw35783 | MikeSeth: aumix does not give you full volume control. better use alsamixer. | 13:46 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | marsupilami: the interfaces folder/file you were told to go to | 13:46 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: The Device is a Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa Mixer). | 13:47 |
| MikeSeth | soundray: for some reason, they tend to have logarithmic volume control, which works poorly on lame-ass lenovo speakers | 13:47 |
| marsupilami | ok thanks a lot! all of you! | 13:47 |
| marsupilami | bye! | 13:47 |
| Dazed | would having 2 instances of ati driver ans well as fglrx screw up my system? | 13:47 |

| soundray | MikeSeth: I see | 13:47 |
| MikeSeth | I dont recommend aumix for normal use, just that it's a helpful test tool | 13:48 |

| Myrtti | Dazed: you should know better | 13:48 |
| Dazed | Than what | 13:48 |
| Dazed | ive been using linux for 2 days | 13:49 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: I have installed aumix now. | 13:49 |
| rtw35783 | bullgard4: once again, the T42 has additional hardware volume/mute buttons. did you try them? | 13:49 |
| Dazed | what is that command to launch a gui app with sudo? | 13:49 |
| Dazed | gtksudo or something | 13:49 |
| Myrtti | Dazed: than to paste stuff like that here | 13:49 |
| MikeSeth | Dazed: you can just sudo xxx | 13:49 |
| Myrtti | Dazed: gksudo | 13:49 |
| Dazed | aha thanks | 13:49 |
| batsquid | ikonia i tried using the recovery mode, but am still prompted for root password for maintenance (ubuntu 6.10). that password is still scrambled, so i recon i have to reinstall and then copy files, right? | 13:49 |
| Myrtti | MikeSeth: *gui* app | 13:49 |
| Bodsda | Dazed, gksudo <command> | 13:50 |
| ikonia | batsquid: have you set a root password ? | 13:50 |
| batsquid | ikonia yes, it is scrambled | 13:50 |
| gregor | ;/ i im not good at englisg can someone explain how to change premission to file? ;/ | 13:50 |
| ikonia | batsquid: the only reason you'd be prompted for a password would be if you had set it | 13:50 |
| batsquid | . | 13:50 |
| ikonia | batsquid: ahh, so if you've set it, you don't know it | 13:50 |
| datacrusher | hi people | 13:50 |
| praet | gksudo | 13:50 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: so run it. if it refuses to start, driver/device problem | 13:50 |
| ikonia | batsquid: you set it to a random string ? | 13:50 |
| soundray | gregor: you should not change the permissions of config files | 13:50 |
| batsquid | ikonia that's what scrambled means | 13:50 |
| soundray | gregor: what are you trying to do? Please use my nickname when you answer | 13:51 |
| Bodsda | batsquid, why would you set a password that is random?? | 13:51 |
| ikonia | batsquid: why did you do that ? ubuntu already comes with a random password ? | 13:51 |
| dabbu | can anyone name me a bit torrent application/clent which work over http proxy | 13:51 |
| gregor | i need to change the apache2 becuase my phpmyadmin dosent work | 13:51 |
| batsquid | Bodsda scramble your root password for increased security | 13:51 |
| ikonia | batsquid: it's already scrambled when you install ubuntu | 13:51 |
| pogay | gregor: you also can change the owners | 13:51 |
| soundray | gregor: do you understand "use my nickname when you answer"? | 13:51 |
| ikonia | batsquid: I don't understand why you've re-scrambled it | 13:51 |
| batsquid | ikonia i haven't done it myself i think | 13:51 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: aumix loads all right. Line and Mic are at 0 level. The rest is not at 0 level. | 13:52 |
| Bodsda | batsquid, but you dont know the password?? | 13:52 |
| batsquid | Bodsda no. doh. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | batsquid: well, someone has, because ubuntu wouldn't ask you for a password if you left it at the default password | 13:52 |
| gregor | soundray: LIke this? | 13:52 |
| pogay | sudo chown www-data:www-data files | 13:52 |
| soundray | gregor: yes | 13:52 |
| rtw35783 | bullgard4: for the last time, the T42 has additional hardware volume/mute buttons. did you try them? | 13:52 |
| Bodsda | batsquid, why would you set it in the first place? | 13:52 |
| batsquid | ikonia well then maybe i did at some point. i had a root password at some point then i wanted to rescrable it. makes sense doesn't it | 13:53 |
| ikonia | batsquid: not really no | 13:53 |
| jrib | gregor: just do 'gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf' to edit the file... | 13:53 |
| soundray | gregor: have you read the help page? | 13:53 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: err! Line, IGain, Line1, PhoneIn and Mic are at 0 level. The rest is not at 0 level. | 13:53 |
| soundray | !lamp | gregor | 13:53 |
| ubottu | gregor: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 13:53 |
| ikonia | batsquid: in that case you're only other ooption would to be boot froma cd and hack the password file | 13:53 |
| Bodsda | lol @ ikonia -- can u unset the root password (like a clean install) ? | 13:53 |
| batsquid | Bodsda, ikonia, maybe i did it because i didn't know why i shouldn't (before i learned to use sudo) | 13:53 |
| === ce-cantik is now known as pyo | ||
| dabbu | can anyone name me a bit torrent application/clent which work over http proxy | 13:54 |
| ikonia | Bodsda: not sure actually, there must be a method, don't know it off the top of my head | 13:54 |
| gregor | soundray: im not good at english, can you tell me the command ? | 13:54 |
| soundray | Bodsda, batsquid: 'sudo passwd -l' | 13:54 |
| Nikson | Hello friends, i have some problems with my graphic card. When I set that drive and reboot the system after load, on the login screen I cant see nothing, the screen get black | 13:54 |
| ikonia | dabbu: the "bittorrent" client works over a proxy | 13:54 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, il head to my google friend then ;-) | 13:54 |
| datacrusher | i got a small network, 30 pcs, and we got new computers, all with windows vista, my server is one of the stations, and im craving to kick vista off, and settle a samba server. Iv formated one of the stations and installed ubuntu server, but the samba version that comes with it dont work with vista, and the apt-get dont gets me none of samba atualizations. so iv came across the download on samba.org, but i cant install it over my old version | 13:54 |
| soundray | gregor: jrib did that already | 13:54 |
| SeveredCross | If you're trying to change the root password.. | 13:54 |
| SeveredCross | Bodsda: What are you trying to do>/ | 13:54 |
| ikonia | soundray: won't that just lock it | 13:54 |
| Bodsda | cheers soundray | 13:54 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: what happens when you press thinkpad volume buttons? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | soundray: not random it like the default ubuntu install | 13:54 |
| Bodsda | SeveredCross, im not trying to do anything | 13:54 |
| gregor | soundray: no, he just tell me the link | 13:54 |
| rtw35783 | MikeSeth: that's what i told him three times now | 13:54 |
| soundray | gregor: no, jrib gave you an exact command | 13:54 |
| jrib | gregor: just do 'gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf' to edit the file... | 13:55 |
| SeveredCross | Ah. It seems like someone's locked themselves out of their computer. :) | 13:55 |
| SeveredCross | Best way to repair broken passwords is to chroot in with a LiveCD. | 13:55 |
| SeveredCross | You can change any password on the system. | 13:55 |
| allupp | what is the lightest linux that there is ? | 13:55 |
| MikeSeth | SeveredCross: or you could just boot with init=/bin/sh | 13:55 |
| soundray | ikonia: default isn't random -- default is locked | 13:55 |
| datacrusher | debian | 13:55 |
| SeveredCross | MikeSeth: Good call, I forgot about that. | 13:55 |
| batsquid | SeveredCross welcome after as we say in norway | 13:55 |
| Dazed | I fixed my problem by reverting to the failsafe xorg.conf | 13:56 |
| xnv | allupp: Damn Small Linux is fairly light | 13:56 |
| Dazed | yay | 13:56 |
| gregor | soundray&jrib: ok thanks | 13:56 |
| Nikson | Hello friends, i have some problems with my graphic card. When I set that drive and reboot the system after load, on the login screen I cant see nothing, the screen get black. Belive me that became a challenge. | 13:56 |
| acp_ | datacrusher: what do you mean it dont work with vista in samba|? | 13:56 |
| pogay | allupp: for what use? | 13:56 |
| MikeSeth | allupp: devil linux is what I use for boot-from-cd firewalls | 13:56 |
| allupp | to play tee worlds | 13:56 |
| MikeSeth | Nikson: what happens when you switch to console? | 13:56 |
| recon69 | got a question about samba, setup a samba share, the folder I shared is accessible by a win box on the net but none of the files in the folder are. the files are all in the group "root" , should i change the group to sambashare ? | 13:57 |
| Nikson | nothing :MikeSeth | 13:58 |
| Nikson | a change normaly | 13:58 |
| batsquid | if i were to set up a new ubuntu server now, which version of ubuntu would you recommend? it's important that it is supported (by means of updates) for as long as possible and it's nice if it doesn't contain too much extras | 13:58 |
| Nikson | and then I recover the xorg file | 13:58 |
| Bodsda | batsquid, 8.4 | 13:58 |
| MikeSeth | Nikson: so the machine didnt hang? then you can read the xorg log and see what went wrong | 13:58 |
| soundray | batsquid: well, hardy of course | 13:58 |
| iqson716 | howto change /var/cache/apt/archive to /home/debs ???? | 13:58 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: I did operate the additional T42 volume/mute buttons. Now I can play my CD-ROM again. And also Sound Preferences > Sound Events > Sound playback > Autodetect > Test works all right. | 13:58 |
| soundray | !lts | batsquid | 13:58 |
| ubottu | batsquid: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 13:59 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: so you're set | 13:59 |
| pogay | allupp: this is very small for a floppy http://www.toms.net/rb/ | 13:59 |
| soundray | batsquid: hardy (8.04) is an LTS release | 13:59 |
| recon69 | batsquid: 8.04 the server version :) | 13:59 |
| Nikson | Ok, I will | 13:59 |
| batsquid | soundray thanks | 13:59 |
| bullgard4 | MikeSeth: Thank you very much for your enduring hekp. | 13:59 |
| jrib | iqson716: creating a symlink would be one way | 13:59 |
| acp_ | recon69: yes if the one accessing the file is also part of the sambashare | 13:59 |
| bullgard4 | help | 13:59 |
| MikeSeth | bullgard4: *bows* | 13:59 |
| Nikson | MikeSeth: some times the machi entry in low graphics mode | 13:59 |
| MikeSeth | Nikson: go look in the log. | 13:59 |
| iqson716 | jrib: how? | 14:00 |
| Nikson | ok | 14:00 |
| jrib | iqson716: why do you want to do this? | 14:00 |
| recon69 | acp_: well , it's a open share, so not sure what login is actualy used | 14:00 |
| Nikson | MikeSeth: Thanks | 14:00 |
| Kopfgeldjaeger | I don't have to enter my password again when executing a command with sudo. How can I change this (back)? | 14:00 |
| iqson716 | jrib: for testing | 14:01 |
| jrib | iqson716: ... ok. move /var/cache/apt/archives/ somewhere else and do 'sudo ln -s /home/debs /var/cache/apt/archives' | 14:02 |
| soundray | Kopfgeldjaeger: 'sudo -k' will make sudo require the password again next time you use it | 14:02 |
| soundray | Kopfgeldjaeger: after 15 minutes, this happens automatically | 14:04 |
| iqson716 | jrib: so after this command all pkg that i'll installed archive to new address? | 14:04 |
| acp_ | recon69: try playing with the permisions using chmod cause whatI undersand files are owned by root | 14:04 |
| jrib | iqson716: yes. You might want to move the debs you moved into /home/debs too | 14:04 |
| siaw | soundray: can u change it to more than 15min? | 14:04 |
| soundray | siaw: I'm sure you can. man sudoers will probably tell you how | 14:05 |
| Ryuho | has anyone used the GSL (GNU scientific library)? | 14:05 |
| iqson716 | jrib: ty:) | 14:05 |
| siaw | :) | 14:05 |
| recon69 | ok, tried to change the files group to "sambashare" using "sudo chgrp -R sambashare *" but it says "operation not permitted" | 14:05 |
| allupp | can some body tell that is the reason why my cpu usage is almost allways full bechause of that xubuntu is too heavy for dell optliplex gx 1 500mhz or some othere? i also need drivers for its internal soundcard :( | 14:05 |
| KenBW2 | isnt it a bit of a security issue that it assumes sudo powers for the next 15 mins? | 14:05 |
| jrib | Ryuho: best to just ask your question, but you should probably ask it in the language in which you are writing. ##c if in C | 14:05 |
| soundray | siaw: "timestamp_timeout" is the keyword | 14:06 |
| jrib | Ryuho: unless you want to know something like how to install it on ubuntu | 14:06 |
| KenBW2 | allupp: i run xubuntu on 600MHz and no problems here | 14:06 |
| Ryuho | jrib: nah, it's how to code with it in C++ | 14:06 |
| jrib | Ryuho: try ##c++ then | 14:06 |
| allupp | this is impossible to use when you wan't to play tee worlds :( | 14:06 |

| chah | hi@all | 14:28 |
| IdleOne | legend2440, good description . I'll need to remember that | 14:28 |
| recon69 | acp_ : yep, it would let me change any permissions, think I will have to set the drive up in f-stab | 14:28 |
| recon69 | would/would not | 14:29 |
| soundray | randomnickname: or hold down Shift-Ctrl-U and type 7 C | 14:29 |
| randomnickname | it worked :D | 14:29 |
| randomnickname | thanks very much | 14:29 |
| Bodsda | soundray, whats that??? | 14:29 |
| soundray | randomnickname: there's always a way :) | 14:29 |
| randomnickname | yes it feels wonderful lol | 14:29 |
| randomnickname | such a little thing | 14:29 |
| IdleOne | soundray, that did not work for me the shft-ctrl-u 7C | 14:30 |
| allupp | is there a reason why my flash isn't woking as it should it can't play youtube right only like it would show me pictures every 3 sec | 14:30 |
| Bodsda | soundray, wow, it worked for me | 14:30 |
| recon69 | acp_ : so that the driver is mounted using the guest user instead of my login | 14:30 |
| Bodsda | IdleOne, hold shift and ctlr then type u7c | 14:30 |
| IdleOne | 14:31 | |
| chah | i have a problem with my pidgin. After that icq protrokoll problem from libpurple0 i tried some things but they hasn't worked. After my holidays (today) i reinstalled pidgin pidgin-data an libpurple0 but i can't create an account (it is not possible to select an protocoll). Has anybody an idea why? | 14:31 |
| Gnea | allupp: could be any number of things... usually too many tabs or not enough ram/cpu | 14:31 |
| IdleOne | Bodsda, nope | 14:31 |
| randomnickname | now can someone help me setup wpa-psk wlan? | 14:31 |
| Bodsda | IdleOne, weird :-) | 14:31 |
| IdleOne | Bodsda, I know how to copy paste from the character map if needed :) | 14:31 |
| randomnickname | wait, how do I save this setting? It won't let me save in /etc/rc.local | 14:32 |
| Bodsda | IdleOne, yeah | 14:32 |
| soundray | Bodsda, IdleOne: you have to hold down Ctrl and Shift, then type U and the character code in succession. | 14:32 |
| Bodsda | randomnickname, you need to launch your editor with gksudo | 14:32 |
| allupp | gnea: i think brhout ram and cpu :P cpu goes to 100% from every message here and root uses all the time 59% from it and opening firefox makes swaps :P | 14:32 |
| Bodsda | Ç | 14:32 |
| recon69 | randomnickname: well, first think is is you wireless card supported by ubuntu? | 14:32 |
| randomnickname | yes | 14:33 |
| IdleOne | soundray, I end up with one of those sqaure thinggy | 14:33 |
| soundray | Bodsda: 7c, not c7 :) | 14:33 |
| randomnickname | it recognize the network | 14:33 |
| Bodsda | soundray, ahh, cheers :-) | 14:33 |
| IdleOne | any space between u7c? | 14:33 |
| Bodsda | IdleOne, no | 14:33 |
| IdleOne | nope does not work for me | 14:34 |
| recon69 | randomnickname: should be easy then, opwn your network manager set encryption to wpa and put you key in | 14:34 |
| Bodsda | | 14:34 |
| soundray | IdleOne: do you get a capital A from Ctrl-Shift-U-4-1 | 14:34 |
| soundray | ? | 14:34 |
| IdleOne | Bodsda, I am seeing a little sqare with tiny flags in it | 14:34 |
| allupp | how can i change serv on pidgins irc? | 14:34 |
| randomnickname | how can I access the network manager? | 14:34 |
| webfarmer | I do I rm a directory without prompts | 14:35 |
| hiredgoon | how do i edit exif information? | 14:35 |

| webfarmer | rm -r -i? | 14:35 |
| soundray | randomnickname: there should be a network icon on the right of your top panel | 14:35 |

| randomnickname | ok | 14:35 |
| randomnickname | what is the bssids? | 14:35 |
| Bodsda | webfarmer, not the rm way anyway try man rmdir | 14:36 |
| soundray | randomnickname: same as essids (at least for the purpose of connecting) | 14:36 |
| recon69 | randomnickname: should be an icon on the right of your menu bar, also , run "ifconfig" to see if your network card is reconised | 14:36 |
| soundray | randomnickname: is your SSID listed there? | 14:36 |
| allupp | i think that i install win 98 me instead of linux it seemd to work better...or could some one tell me that why is this linux so slow..... | 14:36 |
| randomnickname | wont let me type it in | 14:36 |
| randomnickname | my card is recognized on ath0 | 14:36 |
| Bodsda | allupp, windows 98 milenium edition -- what a weird name | 14:37 |
| soundray | webfarmer: -i is with prompting. Leave it out to remove everything at once | 14:37 |
| Gnea | allupp: what cpu/ram do you have? | 14:37 |
| recon69 | randomnickname: is there a unlock button? | 14:37 |
| allupp | but what can i do if linux doesn't works!?! | 14:37 |

| soundray | allupp: if root is hogging your CPU, it's still doing something, maybe indexing or finishing your installation. Take a break and look at it again in an hour. | 14:38 |
| randomnickname | there's nothing that would let me click | 14:38 |
| soundray | randomnickname: is the network icon there on the top panel? | 14:38 |
| recon69 | allupp: might be indexing you HD | 14:38 |
| Bodsda | randomnickname, network manager? theres an unlock button at the bottom -- you didnt open it with sudo/gksudo did you? | 14:39 |
| randomnickname | ifconfig recognized ath0 and wifi0 | 14:39 |

| kr0gur | I have a process (pidgin) that will not die. end process, kill process in system monitor, and killall -9 pidgin and sudo kill -9 pidgin fail to stop this process | 14:42 |
| kr0gur | it is eating 93% cpu... how can I kill it? | 14:42 |
| kr0gur | I mean sudo kill -9 pid | 14:42 |
| soundray | kr0gur: if all else fails, reboot | 14:43 |
| tsuna27 | Bodsda: i cant find that | 14:43 |
| kr0gur | soundray, no, I want to kill it! | 14:43 |
| Bodsda | kr0gur, killall pidgin ? what about the panel app, if not then reboot | 14:43 |
| kr0gur | Bodsda, kill gnome panel? | 14:43 |
| allupp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/37424/ | 14:43 |
| kr0gur | status is 'uninteruptable' | 14:43 |
| allupp | there it is | 14:43 |
| Bodsda | kr0gur, no run the command killall pidgin if that doesnt work look for the panel ap that kills programs by clicking on then | 14:44 |
| SitUbuntuSit | Killing is never the answer :( | 14:44 |
| Bodsda | SitUbuntuSit, dont be silly, its always the answer | 14:44 |
| kr0gur | Bodsda, I already force quit the app | 14:44 |
| kr0gur | Killing isn't the answer, but it is a damn good question. | 14:44 |
| Bytor4232 | Hey guys. I've been reading up on Ubuntu and Laptops, and should I be worried about the load count issue from a year ago? Did anything happen with that for Hardy? | 14:44 |
| Bodsda | kr0gur, kill it as root? | 14:44 |
| kr0gur | sudo kill -9 pid | 14:45 |
| SitUbuntuSit | kr0gur, is something else keeping it active? Sometimes I have issues with Firefox and java, and I have to kill jvm first. | 14:45 |
| soundray | allupp: you haven't got a huge amount of RAM -- your machine could be a lot snappier if you upgrade that. Yes, Ubuntu is more RAM-demanding than Windows 98. | 14:45 |
| Bodsda | kr0gur, no actually become root first | 14:45 |
| kr0gur | SitUbuntuSit, I did have firefox running too... so I killed that | 14:45 |
| Circus-Killer | Bytor4232, load count issue? | 14:45 |
| Circus-Killer | ive had no problem on my lappy | 14:45 |
| xtron | can anyone tell me what the name of the force feedback module is and where to get it? | 14:45 |
| wojtek | help | 14:45 |
| tsuna27 | Bodsda: wher is network manager | 14:45 |
| soundray | allupp: failing that, have a go with Xubuntu instead -- the Xfce desktop is lighter | 14:45 |
| Bodsda | soundray, not that much more demanding though :-) | 14:45 |
| kr0gur | damn , it is 'wish' | 14:45 |
| kr0gur | wish is running, that is pidgin right? no. wait, that is amsn? | 14:45 |
| Bodsda | tsuna27, System-->Admin i think | 14:45 |
| dbc | This is probably silly, but I'm curious if killing with some signal other than 9 would work. | 14:46 |
| Bodsda | kr0gur, kill em both | 14:46 |
| soundray | Bodsda: well, 98 installs in 64MB. Hardy? No chance. | 14:46 |
| tsuna27 | Bodsda: does it matter that im runnin kubuntu | 14:46 |
| allupp | i have xubuntu right now! | 14:46 |
| allupp | i have xubuntu right now! | 14:46 |
| kr0gur | is there a scrip that kills all processes starting from the highest pid until your system works? | 14:46 |
| allupp | sry bug | 14:46 |
| Bodsda | soundray, what about xubuntu or puppylinux | 14:46 |
| SitUbuntuSit | kr0gur, is pidgin in the d state... if so, you can't kill it. Check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=845594 | 14:46 |
| Bodsda | tsuna27, yes | 14:46 |
| kr0gur | allupp, I installed xubuntu, and a clean boot I have just 20mb more free memory than a clean boot of ubuntu | 14:46 |
| soundray | allupp: please wait for it to finish indexing or whatever, and come back to it later | 14:47 |
| Kikkertje | Hi room, I wish to compile gtk cairo engine, but is says that i need the gtk+2.8... how do i install it on hardy? | 14:47 |
| kr0gur | and since I am using gedit and firefox, the same versions, it makes no sense to me to use xubuntu. | 14:47 |
| tsuna27 | #kubuntu | 14:47 |
| kr0gur | does anyone else see just a 20mb saving using xubuntu? | 14:47 |
| soundray | Bodsda: Xubuntu installs in 64MB only when you use the alternate install CD. Puppy? Never tried. | 14:47 |
| allupp | but i keeped my computer open last night and it didn't help :( | 14:47 |
| soundray | allupp: okay, upgrade your RAM then | 14:47 |
| allupp | and all i wanted was to play teeworlds :( | 14:47 |
| Bodsda | soundray, puppylinux or someother distro can be installed and run on a 1gb pen drive | 14:48 |
| SitUbuntuSit | kr0gur, honestly, if you're using a bunch of gnome or kde apps in xubuntu, it would be pointless to use it for an efficiency savings unless you like the interface. | 14:48 |
| xtron | can anyone tell me what the name of the force feedback module is and where to get it? | 14:48 |
| allupp | i gues i rather change to windows then buy part or thing to this coputer | 14:48 |
| dbc | Does anyone know how to set ctcp replies in xchat-gnome? | 14:48 |
| soundray | Bodsda: that doesn't say much about how economical it is with RAM | 14:48 |
| allupp | parts or things | 14:48 |
| Bodsda | allupp, i can go from no ubuntu to ubuntu + teeworlds running in under 2 hours | 14:48 |
| Bodsda | soundray, no but it does show a difference between the size of it and therefore its ram demands | 14:48 |
| allupp | ... didn't understand well (noth that good speaking english ) but i get teeworld installed but broplem is that how does it run :( | 14:49 |
| kr0gur | SitUbuntuSit, my point is, if you are using firefox... I guess thunar v nautilus isn't a big saving, but if you are using *a lot* of the alternative apps at once, you might get a big aggregate saving | 14:49 |
| Bodsda | allupp, were not going to spend our time convincing you that linux is better, make your own decision then come back if you chose linux | 14:49 |
| soundray | Bodsda: no, it doesn't really. I can squeeze a distribution with a gnome desktop onto a 1GB stick and it will still be slow with anything less than 512 MB | 14:49 |
| soundray | of RAM | 14:50 |
| kr0gur | allupp: why won't teeworlds work? | 14:50 |
| dbc | Sounds like a "no". | 14:50 |
| kr0gur | allupp, I play teeworlds too :-) | 14:50 |
| allupp | ... what iam trying to say is that do you know eny othere linux than xubuntu that could work fine whit this coputer | 14:50 |
| soundray | dbc: it could be a 'don't know' though | 14:50 |
| Bodsda | soundray, i installed gutsy on a machine with 128mb memory wich runs fine - not fast but not slow | 14:50 |
| kr0gur | allupp, your graphics card isn't up to scratch? what is the laptop? | 14:50 |
| allupp | it is too slow i cant press buttons and it downloads 5 min :( | 14:50 |
| kr0gur | allupp, what is the spec? | 14:50 |
| === colszowka is now known as TheDeadSerious | ||
| unop | Bodsda, you can't have used it for very much :) | 14:50 |
| kr0gur | allupp, damn small linux, by its nature, doesn't use much ram. how much ram does it have? | 14:51 |
| allupp | ...spec? and i don't use laptop.... | 14:51 |
| Bodsda | allupp, it has mor to do with hardware then distro but perhaps an older ubuntu distro would run faster | 14:51 |
| === huff3r is now known as huff31 | ||
| soundray | kr0gur: see allup's specs on http://paste.ubuntu.com/37424/ | 14:51 |
| kr0gur | allupp, how much ram, and what graphics card does your cimputer have? | 14:51 |
| Bodsda | unop, that wasnt my point :-) | 14:51 |
| allupp | how should i know... sost get this old computer | 14:51 |
| soundray | allupp: you've answered kr0gur's question with your earlier pastebin | 14:52 |
| Bodsda | allupp, you should know your hardware before accusing the software | 14:52 |

| mzanfardino | question: I have installed ubuntu 8.04 and have encrypted home. When I boot my decryptiong key does not appear to be working. Is there a way to fix this, or am I just play out of luck? | 15:00 |
| kr0gur | heh that was fun | 15:01 |
| kibibyte | mzanfardino, why you encrytping home | 15:01 |
| mzanfardino | nevermind the why, can it be fixed? | 15:01 |
| Myrtti | kibibyte: good idea for laptops | 15:01 |
| mzanfardino | indeed | 15:02 |
| mzanfardino | however, this is the first time I've found that my key won't be accepted | 15:02 |
| Myrtti | even better idea for business/work laptops | 15:02 |
| recon69 | marshall: not to sure, but have you look to see if the share is available in "place -> network" | 15:02 |
| randomnickname | What command do I type in to check cpu frequency? | 15:03 |
| recon69 | marshall: also you need to make sure you are in the same workgroup as the windows machine | 15:03 |
| soundray | randomnickname: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 15:03 |
| freelanceweb | Why does Ubuntu update python as a common update? | 15:03 |
| mzanfardino | sadly I suppose the whole point of encrypting your drive is that if you haven't got the key you can't get in. So I'm guessing there is no way around it. | 15:03 |
| burhan | mzanfardino: correct you are. | 15:04 |
| allupp | why is there no easy solution to my problem | 15:04 |
| mzanfardino | thanks for the confirmation. | 15:04 |
| kr0gur | allupp, you making progress? I just had a good game on teeworlds, was playing ASL | 15:04 |
| randomnickname | is there anyway I can monitor it changing like cpu-z in Windows? | 15:04 |

| dogface | Silly bots, allowing people to command them to join Linux support channels and say "wher are the hack codes???" | 15:23 |
| recon69 | djamel: other things you could try are creating a new user and see if that user has the same problem. also change you session to termal before you log in to see if that works | 15:23 |
| axenory | soundray, there is only the option to put display to sleep but not to reduce backlight...... There is in the battery mode... but it is still reducing the back light | 15:23 |

| kenshin | ShackJack, where is the conf file located? | 15:38 |
| ch3ck | Options ExecCGI if i am not wrong! | 15:38 |
| === nick__ is now known as theraptor | ||
| britt | /etc/apache or /etc/apache2 | 15:38 |
| ch3ck | u have to be specific in the directory | 15:38 |
| ShackJack | kenshin: depends on your setup - locate httpd.conf | 15:39 |
| === nick__ is now known as theraptor | ||
| kenshin | britt, the conf file at /etc/apache2 is 0 byte | 15:39 |
| ShackJack | kenshin: (in terminal ;)) | 15:39 |
| theraptor | hi, I have a problem with my screen resolution | 15:39 |
| ch3ck | go see ur initialization scripts...fi any | 15:39 |
| axenory | soundray, do you remember what asked you earlier about the logon display? | 15:40 |
| soundray | theraptor: elaborate | 15:40 |
| britt | kenshin: etc/apache2/httpd.conf is 0? | 15:40 |
| kenshin | britt, yeah | 15:40 |
| britt | oh | 15:40 |
| soundray | axenory: faintly | 15:40 |
| britt | try /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 15:40 |
| britt | no no no | 15:40 |
| kenshin | the cgi files are still not being executed :/ | 15:40 |
| theraptor | it only gives me the options of 800x600 and 640x480, even though my computer usually uses higher resolutions | 15:40 |
| ch3ck | kenshin: do a httpd -V | 15:40 |
| ch3ck | u will see ur compile settings | 15:40 |
| axenory | soundray, that my logon display went huge! so how can I put the logon windows resolution back to normal (back to fit my screen) | 15:41 |
| soundray | theraptor: configure it with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 15:41 |
| kenshin | httpd command not found :/ | 15:41 |
| soundray | axenory: run 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' and set a sensible default resolution | 15:41 |
| ShackJack | axenory: If you haven't already, I'd suggest installing the nvidia/ati driver if supported by your card... | 15:42 |

| compengi | i'm using firefox 3.0.1 on ubuntu 8.04. lately i got a problem with it. couple of hours ago firefox was just running great. i turned it off then reopened it. first of all you could just notice that "getting started" tabs and etc.. are gone. bookmarks don't list. you can't forward or backward. sometimes if you | 15:43 |
| ShackJack | axenory: (Admin->harware drivers) | 15:43 |
| compengi | got to preference thenclose the window. you can't use the upper toolbar anymore. if youi'd try to start firefox from terminal no errors are visible | 15:43 |
| ch3ck | kenshin: Is apache installed? | 15:43 |
| axenory | ShackJack, I have already nvidias.. and nvidia-settings | 15:43 |
| kenshin | ch3ck, yes | 15:43 |
| kenshin | It works! | 15:43 |
| [yzf600] | my gnome-terminals show me being in lots of groups, but if I login via text terminal, the groups are different | 15:43 |
| ch3ck | kenshin: did u do the ExecCGI in that particular directory | 15:43 |
| kenshin | no | 15:44 |
| soundray | compengi: what have you changed since it worked? | 15:44 |
| ch3ck | Kenshin: :O do it then | 15:44 |

| kenshin | ch3ck, is that case sensitive? | 15:44 |
| ozpowermo1 | Does anybody know how to run win 32 executables in ubuntu? I have wine installed and I use Dev C++ to do some programming, but I can't run the executables... any help? | 15:44 |
| ch3ck | Kenshin: You might have directory settings for that particular directory ... do a Options ExecCGI in that file. | 15:44 |
| ch3ck | Kenshin: Yes it is! | 15:44 |
| ch3ck | linux is Case sensitive ;) | 15:44 |
| compengi | soundray, i didn't change anything. i was just browsing normaly | 15:44 |
| kenshin | ExecCGI ? | 15:44 |
| axenory | ShackJack, soundray, My resolution is OK... its the logon display the one thats wrong... I can and I know how to change resolution AFTER I login but in the logon display is the thing.. | 15:45 |
| kenshin | ExecCGI <filename> ?? | 15:45 |
| Gnea | ozpowermo1: should be in the Applications->Wine->Programs | 15:45 |
| compengi | Gnea, i didn't put my hands on the settings | 15:45 |
| ch3ck | kenshin: nopes | 15:45 |
| kenshin | :/ | 15:45 |
| soundray | axenory: I've told you twice now | 15:45 |
| ch3ck | kenshin: just "Options ExecCGI " | 15:45 |
| ch3ck | jeez ppl are increasing | 15:45 |
| Gnea | compengi: that wasn't the correct answer. | 15:45 |
| ch3ck | Kenshin u at ubuntu-np? | 15:45 |
| kenshin | Options is a command? | 15:45 |
| axenory | soundray, gksudo displa...? | 15:45 |
| ch3ck | see me there | 15:45 |
| kenshin | yeah | 15:46 |
| Gnea | !hi | ch3ck | 15:46 |
| ubottu | ch3ck: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:46 |
| ozpowermo1 | Gnea: to actually run the exe? I use Dev C++ to make a HelloWorld exe, then how can I run it? | 15:46 |
| compengi | Gnea, what would you expect if i didn't change nor did anything to firefox | 15:46 |
| Gnea | ozpowermo1: oh - wine HelloWorld.exe | 15:46 |
| ozpowermo1 | Gnea: thanks! :) | 15:46 |
| ShackJack | axenory: So it *switches* resolution after you login? Is there another user (default) account with a low resolution set perhaps? | 15:46 |
| rui | option ExecCGI is found in the file conf in apache | 15:46 |
| ch3ck | Gnea: Smiles:D | 15:46 |
| jrib | ozpowermo1: why not program for linux? | 15:46 |
| ch3ck | that is Options i guess | 15:46 |
| ozpowermo1 | jrib: I don't like any of the IDEs, and Dev C++ doesn't make their IDE for linux | 15:47 |
| albech | i know this is a little off topic, but im doing a presentation next week on networking and is looking for a good way to explain latency/bandwidth terms.. I once read a very good one where a sports car a truck was used, but i cannot find it.. anyone have a good explanation for a slide? i believe they used a highway and dirt road in the metaphor too | 15:47 |
| joaopinto | ozpowermo1, have you tried code::blocks ? | 15:48 |
| Gnea | compengi: sorry, assumption isn't something that I do. please answer my questions if you would like to solve the problem. | 15:48 |
| compengi | Gnea, about which settings are you talking about | 15:48 |
| jrib | ozpowermo1: I don't really see much sense in creating windows executables in linux and running them through wine though. Who needs an IDE anyway? Load up your favorite text editor and compile the file with gcc | 15:48 |
| elo2773 | Someone can help me for a problem with user policy in a network with server windows and client ubuntu? | 15:49 |
| Refefer | quick question for you guys: I'm sshing into a headless server and I want to manually run a script that's very time consuming to complete. I want to be able to logout and continue to have it run. Any idea how I would go about doing that? | 15:49 |
| joaopinto | jrib, get used to an IDE, you will notice the productivity difference :) | 15:49 |
| axenory | ShackJack, yep it switches... okay look this is how this happend soundray and ShackJack .... Accidentally the Nvidia driver was deactivated.... so I was runnning in low graphics mode.... to enter to the logon display it asked to change display resolution before entering to the logon display so I changed it... after I login I put the hardware drivers back on.. since then the logon display is huge as the desktop is fine.... | 15:49 |
| Gnea | compengi: the location of the standard user settings for firefox. usually in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/ | 15:49 |
| ozpowermo1 | joaopinto: I tried Adjunta and Eclipse (although eclipse is not really linux specific), I haven't tried code blocks; in addition I'm working with another developer who doesn't have linux | 15:49 |
| soundray | axenory: what is the problem with just running the command I gave you and setting the default resolution you want? | 15:50 |
| Gnea | !ask | elo2773 | 15:50 |
| ubottu | elo2773: 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. :-) | 15:50 |
| joaopinto | ozpowermo1, code::blocks is cross platform | 15:50 |
| === Ardha is now known as lubous | ||
| soundray | axenory: as if my response would change if you described your problem five times | 15:50 |
| axenory | soundray, because my friend.... is already in the resolution I want... | 15:50 |
| compengi | Gnea, i got it still there. i got a folder called *ydvazcdh.default* with sub-files/folders | 15:50 |
| ozpowermo1 | joapinto: code::blocks might not be a bad idea... :) | 15:50 |
| elo2773 | the problem is that i don't know how can i set policy for user in ubuntu... that's the question | 15:50 |
| ozpowermo1 | jaopinto: thanks :) | 15:51 |

| axenory | soundray, it still the same... | 15:51 |
| soundray | axenory: so run the command and set your default res | 15:51 |
| axenory | soundray, the resolution I want is 1280x800.... that is the one that is already the default resolution... | 15:52 |
| sidneywhat | Firewire Hard Drive really slow, it was Ok in Live CD | 15:52 |
| Gnea | compengi: well, that's where they're all at... the filenames are pretty self-explanatory to some degree, but if you're not familiar with them, then you may find yourself recreating your settings, as timestamps tend to tell all | 15:52 |
| compengi | Gnea, bookmarksbackups still there, Cache files too, Chrome folder, Extensions and other files | 15:52 |
| soundray | axenory: you want to play another round of this? Your resolution is wrong on the login window? Set 1280x800 in displayconfig-gtk and it will be that on the login window. | 15:52 |
| agoes | hai.. | 15:52 |
| axenory | let me check | 15:52 |

| ShackJack | randomnickname: only make sure swfdec (open source flash) isn't running (or try using that instead) | 16:19 |
| ds[de] | ubuntu: I meant the 'yes' ;) hold on a second | 16:19 |
| julu | you just need to download the tar.gz-package, unpack it... | 16:19 |
| regeya | I run amd64 hardy at home, and flash was basically just, install the package, start firefox, visit websites with flash | 16:19 |

| ASULutzy | axenory, You can just right click and hit share I believe? If you don't have sufficient permissions you can do gksu nautilus and do the same thing (be careful while you run nautilus as root, you could do bad things) | 16:20 |

| randomnickname | it's giving me "get the latest flash player" | 16:21 |
| infexion | axenory: you may have to mount the drive if it is not mounted already | 16:21 |
| cupantae | randomnickname: wait, are you talking about a message that comes up on youtube? As far as I remember, youtube acts funny for installing flash on ff. You'd be better off finding flash ads on digg or something | 16:21 |

| perillux | Next1: if you just want to convert a single file and don't plan on doing it a lot then Zamzar is good because you don't have to mess with downloading a program. | 16:21 |

| cupantae | randomnickname: don't go to youtube. Try a different page with flash | 16:27 |

| regeya | cupantae, what filesystem is that music collection on...also, try running chmod -R 0666 /path/to/your/music (-R is recursive btw) | 16:28 |
| eyeslocal | Hmm.. I installed icecat and it works fine but my window listing doesn't have an icon, just the 'generic icon'. Is there a way to fix this? | 16:28 |
| cupantae | go to digg, and refresh until a flash ad comes up and a yellow box appears at the top | 16:28 |

| Caesi | hullo | 16:37 |
| blackbinary | probably, the XFCE/KDE clients dont take much room once youve got ubuntu installed | 16:37 |
| kenkku_ | Kopfgeldjaeger: there is no need to tell the world you're away. most of us don't care anyway | 16:37 |
| shaanbhagat | hi guys. I have an extra laptop lying around and I want to turn it into a web server. I already have Ubuntu installed onto it, can somebody help me out with this? its 1.6 ghz, pentium m, 2 gb ram with feisty fawn installed. | 16:37 |
| arvind_khadri | !hi | Caesi | 16:37 |
| ubottu | Caesi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:37 |
| Caesi | can anyone tell me whether (and how) it is possible to start programs directly in a specific workspace? | 16:37 |
| blackbinary | deep_blue, ShackJack, there is also pendrivelinux which has a guide to ubuntu on usb | 16:37 |
| randomnickname | does anyone know why my cpu is 39C while only watching youtube? | 16:38 |
| deep_blue | thanks......blackbinary, bazhang, julu, col^ ..somewhere I found that pendrive over 2GB is not supported....... | 16:38 |
| randomnickname | It's usually 25C on Vista | 16:38 |
| arvind_khadri | !usb | deep_blue | 16:38 |
| ubottu | deep_blue: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 16:38 |
| === Christina18 is now known as needhelp | ||
| kenkku_ | randomnickname: you should be happy. my CPU is 52 and I'm not even watching youtube ;P | 16:38 |
| randomnickname | lol | 16:38 |
| blackbinary | randomnickname, thats odd, what are you using to check temps? | 16:38 |
| deep_blue | arvind_khadri.....haan usb flash drive | 16:38 |
| randomnickname | acpi -t | 16:38 |
| seba__ | arvind_khadri, thanks | 16:38 |
| kenkku_ | randomnickname: flash + video means basically 100% cpu usage for some reason. heats one-core CPUs nicely | 16:38 |
| seba__ | rm -f P* | 16:38 |
| user881 | is it possible to get synergy to work on the login screen of ubuntu? as opposed to only working once logged in? at the moment i need to manually plug in a keyboard to login. | 16:38 |
| arvind_khadri | seba__, oh ok | 16:39 |
| randomnickname | anyway to fix that? | 16:39 |
| blackbinary | randomnickname, its very possible that its just an incorrect temp reading. | 16:39 |
| arvind_khadri | deep_blue, :) | 16:39 |
| kenkku_ | for me, it's the same no matter what frequency I run the cpu on. flash video always makes it go to 100% (on one core) | 16:39 |
| julu | folks, anyone got some experience with cyrus ? | 16:39 |
| shaanbhagat | nvm then | 16:39 |
| mizipzor_ | is there a command for listing the hardware in a box? | 16:39 |
| randomnickname | Where can I get better temp reading? | 16:39 |
| arvind_khadri | mizipzor_, ya lspci | 16:39 |
| kenkku_ | randomnickname: it's probably not an incorrect one. flash just uses a lot of cpu, at least for me | 16:39 |
| mizipzor_ | arvind_khadri: thix | 16:39 |
| deep_blue | thanks ubottu for the link........ | 16:39 |
| randomnickname | really? | 16:40 |
| randomnickname | what happen when I do some else ? | 16:40 |
| ShackJack | Caesi: a program called devilspie can enable that, I think it's in the repos... | 16:40 |
| blackbinary | randomnickname, just booted up youtube. | 16:40 |
| deep_blue | will soon all you guys soon with my own ubutun running.............loving it.......bye:-) | 16:40 |
| Tooplex | Im having a giant giant problem with ubuntu could some expert do a one on one chat with me and help out please | 16:40 |
| ds[de] | deep_blue, ubottu is a bot (just fyi ;) | 16:40 |
| Caesi | thanks ShackJack | 16:40 |
| blackbinary | randomnickname, and i get about 20% on each while doing quite a few other things. | 16:40 |
| randomnickname | what happpen when I watch 10 youtube? | 16:40 |
| Tooplex | it would be to long to explain in public chat | 16:40 |
| esh_ | using xubuntu...cpu speed in BIOS reads correct, 1.6ghz, but in linux via cat /proc/cpuinfo and conky it reads 1.2ghz. windows reds correctly | 16:41 |
| ShackJack | Caesi: see; live.gnome.org/DevilsPie for more info | 16:41 |
| randomnickname | now it's 36c and refuse to go back down | 16:41 |
| ds[de] | Tooplex: why don't you just make a forum post at ubuntuforums.org ? | 16:41 |
| blackbinary | !repeat | esh_ | 16:41 |
| ubottu | esh_: 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 | 16:41 |
| esh_ | lol im at 61C | 16:41 |
| Caesi | perfect, thanks | 16:41 |
| randomnickname | it was 26c just minutes ago | 16:41 |
| itrebal | is it possible to suggest names for future releases? | 16:41 |

| Paradox924X | kuja is lame. | 16:41 |
| kuja | =( | 16:41 |
| Th3_KID | hey anyone know a quick and sufficient way to speed up bittorent downloads in ubuntu? please help | 16:41 |
| kuja | itrebal is lame :) | 16:41 |
| ds[de] | esh_ do you have cpufreqd or something similar installed? | 16:41 |
| itrebal | kuja: :( | 16:41 |
| kuja | :D | 16:41 |
| blackbinary | Th3_KID same way as in any other OS. | 16:42 |
| Paradox924X | lol | 16:42 |
| kenkku_ | Th3_KID: there is no magic bullet. make sure the ports are open and the torrent is a good one | 16:42 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/13/installing-guest-additions-for-ubuntu-guests-in-virtualbox/ axenory read this | 16:42 |
| user881 | how do i get a daemon to run on the ubuntu login screen? | 16:42 |
| seba__ | I need to rename .JPG to .jpg | 16:42 |
| esh_ | ds[de], i will in a moment | 16:42 |
| kenkku_ | Th3_KID: don't expect great speeds with a torrent that has 3 seeds and 50 leechers | 16:42 |
| randomnickname | lol | 16:42 |
| gsalah | hello all, I'm looking for an open source webbased project management software working under ubuntu | 16:42 |
| Th3_KID | how do i manually open the port. and if the download is downloading that means the port is open right? | 16:42 |
| randomnickname | my internet is 256kbps | 16:42 |
| blackbinary | Th3_KID the only thing that makes bitorrent fast is the settings you give it. There are many guides that will give you some good settings | 16:42 |
| randomnickname | it's usually 5mbps on Vista | 16:43 |
| kenkku_ | Th3_KID: check out the azuerus wiki | 16:43 |
| blackbinary | Th3_KID just google port forwarding. and no, downloading doesnt mean open. | 16:43 |
| randomnickname | no wonder it was going so slow | 16:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Th3_KID: tryign opening ports in your router other than doing it inside ubuntu | 16:43 |
| blackbinary | randomnickname, that speed is not the fault of ubuntu, so I'd check your modem etc. | 16:43 |
| blackbinary | Hello, i installed a theme that changed the icon beside 'Applications' menu, is there a way to keep the theme and change the icon back, or get rid of the icon all together? | 16:44 |
| DocZ | Greets all, anybody know where the Ubuntu packagers hang out? I'd like to recommend inclusion of the ntbackup file reader mtftar from http://gpl.internetconnection.net/ (NOTE: I am not affiliated AT ALL). Just wondering the protocol to nominate GPL code for inclusion. | 16:44 |
| jazzkutya | i've zeroed out raid superblocks with mdadm --zero-superblock after booting with init=/bin/sh rw. now boot stops at "Begin: Starting up RAIDs. Please wait, the process may take a long time!" | 16:44 |
| Th3_KID | ive tried connecting to my router but i didnt see where to start. 192.168.1.254 | 16:44 |
| kenkku_ | DocZ: you can file a bug with the tag needs-packaging | 16:44 |
| jazzkutya | how can i resolve this and remove raid completely? | 16:44 |
| esh_ | ds[de], ok now what? | 16:45 |
| DocZ | kenkku: Excellent, Thank you. | 16:45 |
| jazzkutya | it were raid1 arrays, i want to separate the 2 drives. currently only one drive in the pc | 16:45 |
| bazhang | !brainstorm | DocZ | 16:45 |
| ubottu | DocZ: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 16:45 |
| ds[de] | esh_, =) I thought that if you had cpufreqd installed, you might have had a profile running that limited the speed of your cpu | 16:45 |
| ASULutzy | seba, you'll probably need to make a shell script to do that... Something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/37457/ | 16:45 |
| iki | how to restart ubuntu from terminal? | 16:45 |
| ASULutzy | seba__, I didn't test that script, so use at your own risk ;) | 16:45 |
| zeropage | ciao | 16:45 |
| ASULutzy | iki, sudo reboot | 16:46 |
| zeropage | qualche italiano? | 16:46 |
| bazhang | !it | zeropage | 16:46 |
| esh_ | ds[de], oh no i dont. can i use it to set the clock correctly? | 16:46 |
| ubottu | zeropage: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 16:46 |
| ds[de] | esh_, I use cpufreqd to throttle my cpu to 60% speed so it doesn't get too hot | 16:46 |
| iki | ASULutzy: what about how to shut down? | 16:46 |
| justs0me | anyone fix a find to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/206295 | 16:46 |

| bazhang | zeropage, what is your issue | 16:47 |
| ShackJack | ASULutzy: jinx! :P | 16:47 |
| zeropage | hi there | 16:47 |
| Dillizar | i have put my HDD in a new MB and i have problems with the usb drivers how can i DL drivers? | 16:47 |
| zeropage | i installed ubuntu for the 1st time | 16:47 |
| iki | ASULutzy: how did your find out those commands? | 16:47 |
| zeropage | all ok, it work with double boot vista/ubuntu | 16:47 |
| ds[de] | esh_, maybe another daemon was throttling your cpu speed (forget the name, it's installed by default w/ ubuntu) | 16:47 |
| zeropage | can't connect to internet | 16:47 |
| zeropage | :) | 16:47 |
| iki | ASULutzy: is there some database or something for popular commands? | 16:48 |
| bazhang | zeropage, try not to break up your posts with the enter key | 16:48 |
| ds[de] | esh_, brb, sec please | 16:48 |
| zeropage | ok sorry | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | seba__, Actually, something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/37460/ is probably closer to right :P | 16:48 |
| bazhang | zeropage, is this wired or wireless | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | iki, check google, also you can type man whatever in a terminal to get usage instructions | 16:48 |
| slayton | are there any utilities to increase the volume of audio in gnome? (besides those the come with gnome) what i want to is double the max volume my laptop can produce | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | man reboot, man shutdown, etc | 16:48 |
| blackbinary | Hello, i installed a theme that changed the icon beside 'Applications' menu, is there a way to keep the theme and change the icon back, or get rid of the icon all together? | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | man apt-get | 16:48 |
| Th3_KID | anyone know how to figure out the ip of there router | 16:48 |
| iki | ASULutzy: thanks! | 16:48 |
| zeropage | just wired | 16:48 |
| slayton | Th3_KID, what is your ip | 16:49 |
| blackbinary | Th3_KID 192.168.1.1 or 2.1 etc depending on which computer you are... | 16:49 |
| bazhang | zeropage, open a terminal and type ifconfig; do you see an eth0 ? | 16:49 |
| mizipzor | ok this is not good, i installed new nvidia drivers and now X cant start... | 16:49 |
| zeropage | sure | 16:49 |
| andre_ | How can i add an user to an existing group on the console? | 16:49 |
| Dillizar | i have put my HDD in a new MB and i have problems with the usb drivers how can i DL drivers? | 16:49 |
| slayton | andre_, use usermod | 16:49 |
| bazhang | zeropage, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return (dont paste here) | 16:49 |
| mizipzor | is there a way to take the error log and post it at some paste site using console only? | 16:49 |
| ASULutzy | mizipzor, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 16:50 |
| bazhang | mizipzor, sure; install pastebinit then | the file to there; it will give you a url | 16:50 |
| mizipzor | ASULutzy: thanks | 16:50 |
| bazhang | zeropage, lets do this in channel | 16:50 |
| Slart | Dillizar: it's quite unusual to need usb drivers for hdd | 16:50 |
| mizipzor | bazhang: using |grep? or |pastbinit? | 16:50 |
| bazhang | pastebinit mizipzor | 16:50 |
| tom_ | Does anybody know which version of Ubuntu to use on a multi-monitor setup? | 16:51 |
| ds[de] | esh_, with a default /etc/cpufreqd.conf your cpu should be set to 100% speed while on AC | 16:51 |
| Dillizar | Slart: no cuz my hdd with ubuntu is on a new MB i need drivers for my new MB | 16:51 |
| joaopinto | tom_, you are always advised to use the current stable version, which is 8.04.1 for the moment | 16:51 |
| Dillizar | so my usb can work | 16:51 |
| slayton | anybody know if you can view matlab in full screen in ubuntu? | 16:52 |
| ds[de] | esh_, I would try rebooting, then check for a running cpufreqd (ps ax | grep cpufreqd) and check /proc/cpuinfo again | 16:52 |
| nixnoob | tom_: any version u want | 16:52 |
| esh_ | ds[de], ahhh AC is plugged in and conky states 1.6 | 16:52 |
| ASULutzy | Dillizar, usbstorage is pretty standardized by now, USB hard drives should pretty much just plug and play | 16:52 |
| tom_ | joaopinto: I did try that (alternate desktop version), but it turns out RandR doesn't like a desktop bigger than 2048 pixels. | 16:52 |
| ASULutzy | Dillizar, Heck even my eSata drive just plugged in and worked | 16:52 |
| Slart | Dillizar: ok, now I understand.. well.. it's still kind of unusal.. most motherboard stuff usually works without separate drivers... what makes you think it's a driver problem? | 16:52 |
| ds[de] | esh_, what was the expected value again? | 16:53 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: well, as ubuntu works nowadays, you can just plug the hdd in and boot it and it should just work | 16:53 |
| nixnoob | tom_: how did u set it up? | 16:53 |
| ASULutzy | tom_, joaopinto, I think that's a problem with compiz specifically, you can't extend past a certain width, also you need to make sure to include a virtual line in your xorg.conf to extend over multiple desktops I believe | 16:53 |
| Dillizar | Slart: cuz i cant put usb :) dunno | 16:53 |
| esh_ | ds[de], it's a 1.6p4 m that was running at 1.2 | 16:53 |
| Slart | Dillizar: look in dmesg and /var/log/syslog for errors.. | 16:53 |
| ds[de] | esh_ so conky states 1.6 ... what about /proc/cpuinfo? | 16:53 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: can you pastebin /var/log/dmesg ? | 16:53 |
| Gnea | !pastebin | 16:53 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 16:54 |
| [tasty]freeze | Does anyone know of a quick way to run an mpich daemon so that every user/every user in a group can access it? | 16:54 |
| [tasty]freeze | I do not want to run more than one instance of the daemon | 16:54 |
| esh_ | ds[de], 1.6ghz | 16:54 |
| ds[de] | esh_ :) | 16:54 |
| esh_ | ds[de], guess that means theres another reason wqhy this thing kind of chugs | 16:54 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: hand-edited xorg.conf, also tried other tools provided, but the built-in limitations are killing my configuration. | 16:55 |
| nixnoob | tom_: what video card/driver? | 16:55 |
| Dillizar | Slart: cuz few weeks ago i had to dl some drivers. but i didnt | 16:55 |
| shah | !best | 16:55 |
| ds[de] | esh_ if you want to monitor your cpu speed over a period of time you can do: watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo | 16:55 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:55 |
| shah | !best | 16:56 |
| esh_ | ds[de], thanks i will | 16:56 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: A pair of geforce 7950's driving 3 1920x1200 displays. | 16:56 |
| bazhang | shah, please /msg ubottu in PM for fun if you wish | 16:56 |
| tom_ | It worked fine under fiesty and dapper. | 16:56 |
| ds[de] | esh_ good luck | 16:56 |
| nixnoob | tom_: seperate x's? or twinview? | 16:56 |
| tom_ | both | 16:56 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: twinview + 1 seperate screen. | 16:57 |
| Slart | Dillizar: well.. lets see what those logs tell us.. can you pastebin them? | 16:57 |
| shah | bazhang, it was strucked, sry | 16:57 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: here you go | 16:57 |
| Dillizar | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37463/ | 16:57 |
| nixnoob | tom_: the 7950's arent in SLI are they? | 16:57 |
| Dillizar | yep slar | 16:57 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: nope. | 16:57 |
| nixnoob | tom_: hmm and using nvidia-settings didnt work? | 16:58 |
| mizipzor | startx problem with nvidia driver: dmesg past http://pastebin.com/f7e51d7e8 | 16:58 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: oh wow... are you familiar with editting grub settings? | 16:58 |
| mizipzor | seems to be a version missmatch, anyone know how to fix? | 16:58 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: No again, though that may be an unrelated problem. | 16:58 |
| Dillizar | no i think? Gnea is it that bed | 16:59 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: I've been beating my head against a wall on this one all week. | 16:59 |
| nixnoob | tom_: wat errors/graphics problems are u experiencing? | 16:59 |

| soundray | jazzkutya: ubuntu is next to useless without initramfs... What are you trying to do? | 17:01 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: ?? | 17:01 |
| jazzkutya | i want to remove now non-existent raid arrayt from /etc/mdadm/madm.conf or something like that | 17:01 |

| taajaasne | hi | 17:02 |
| allup | soundray:i have made some progress some how :P now i get to serv options in tee worlds but now mouse is square where is 4 different color and there are no text :( | 17:02 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: it's a computer, not a bed. ;) lol, no, it's not too bad, it's just a configuration switch - if you edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, look toward the bottom for a set of directives that has a line similar to this: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-20-generic root=UUID=a9f6ec6b-02d9-4eb6-829d-ceca57df87a1 ro quiet splash | 17:02 |

| hwilde | what is ~/.gvfs and why can't I remove it as root ? | 17:02 |

| ubottu | jazzkutya: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 17:02 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: It's kind of complex. I think there are several things happening. 1) EDID data not being reported by my flat panels, and the info in the xorg.conf file is being ignored, resulting in a default 800x600 max resolution. | 17:02 |
| Gnea | !repeat | hwilde | 17:02 |

| tom_ | nixnoob: 2) nvidia proprietary drivers won't load. | 17:02 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: you lost me LD | 17:03 |

| tom_ | nixnoob: 3) Can't specify a 3800x1200 virtual desktop (too big for RandR to handle). | 17:03 |
| jazzkutya | can grub edit files on ext3? | 17:03 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, You don't want to remove that | 17:03 |
| mizipzor | ok, if no one knows how to correct that nvidia driver problem im having, does anyone know how to revert to the old drivers i was using? they worked | 17:03 |
| Gnea | hwilde: you, need to be patient. use the df command. | 17:03 |
| hwilde | ASULutzy, IT's a user I deleted. I want to delete it's /home/ directory | 17:03 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, Oh so maybe you do! | 17:03 |
| nixnoob | tom_: are you using the proprietary driver? | 17:03 |
| hwilde | ASULutzy, but it won't let me | 17:03 |
| soundray | hwilde: what are the permissions on it? | 17:04 |
| hwilde | soundray, D???????? it won't let me change permissions either. | 17:04 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: not currently - I would do so if it would load. | 17:04 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: ok, press alt-f2, then type in: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:04 |
| soundray | hwilde: I would boot off a live CD and run e2fsck -y over that partition | 17:04 |

| wng- | Anyone have experience customizing ubuntu liveCDs? I am trying to remove the menu that lets you pick language on boot as I only need english | 17:05 |
| hwilde | Gnea, i'm logged in as nother user. i've deleted that user. it won't let me delete their /home/ directory | 17:05 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: On 8.04.1 ? | 17:05 |
| allup | ok ty for channel | 17:05 |
| nixnoob | tom_: yes | 17:05 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: did you see the permissions on it? ( hwilde) | 17:06 |
| hwilde | ASULutzy, why is it still mounted if I deleted that user and logged in as a different user | 17:06 |
| Gnea | hwilde: try rebooting. | 17:06 |
| hwilde | this is making me angry. if root says delete then it should delete. | 17:06 |
| Marcin26P_ | hi | 17:06 |
| Gnea | hwilde: you will reboot and stop being angry. | 17:06 |
| Marcin26P_ | can you help me i have a usb umts modem hueewei e220 | 17:06 |
| hwilde | Gnea, rebooting is not necessary in Linux | 17:06 |
| Dillizar | lol Gnea | 17:06 |
| Marcin26P_ | when i start ubuntu normaly | 17:06 |
| soundray | hwilde: you have a filesystem inconsistency. e2fsck -y will fix it. Or do a 'sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo shutdown -r now' | 17:07 |
| Marcin26P_ | umtsmon is not detecting device | 17:07 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: So I'm doing something wrong then. | 17:07 |
| Gnea | hwilde: if you don't cut the attitude and reboot, you may be silenced until you can calm down. | 17:07 |
| Marcin26P_ | when i run in recovery mode and then pres resume all works fine | 17:07 |
| soundray | hwilde: rebooting is absolutely necessary when you have an ext3 inconsistency | 17:07 |
| nixnoob | tom_: what error do u get in the xorg log from the nvidia driver? | 17:07 |
| bazhang | gnea what is the problem | 17:07 |
| === poseidon` is now known as poseidon_away | ||
| soundray | hwilde: don't believe that nonsense about not rebooting | 17:07 |
| hwilde | Gnea, I'm already reinstalling from the livecd. I just want to know what is gvfs | 17:07 |
| Gnea | bazhang: hwilde is freaking out over something | 17:08 |
| soundray | hwilde: gnome virtual filesystem | 17:08 |
| ASULutzy | soundray, Are you sure that's a filesystem inconsistency? Fuse does weird things like that | 17:08 |
| allup | as it seems that there are no one wathing dls channel so i don't get eny answer could some one put here direckt link to download dsl | 17:08 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: Can't paste it at the moment, but it's a single EE line saying a compatible glx wasn't found. | 17:08 |
| allup | dsl channel sry | 17:08 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: i have opend the menu.lst | 17:08 |
| soundray | hwilde: it's the mountpoint for dynamically added/removed devices | 17:08 |
| bazhang | allup, try distrowatch.com for a link | 17:08 |
| nixnoob | tom_: you've probably botched the driver install, you installed the driver from the repos correct? | 17:08 |
| Marcin26P_ | hmm Can samone help me with usb modem ??? | 17:08 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: see what permissions it has on yours with 'ls -ld ~/.gvfs'. Not d???????? I bet | 17:08 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: sorry about that :) if you can get past all of the commented stuff, you should see some configuration directives for the various kernels | 17:09 |
| allup | ty | 17:09 |
| bazhang | np | 17:09 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: Yes, when that failed, I did it manually following nvidia's manual. | 17:09 |
| hwilde | soundray, bazhang, I removed a user from the gui and it corrupted my filesystem, and won't let root delete that user's home directory? that is bogus. | 17:09 |
| ASULutzy | soundray, it's dr-x------ | 17:09 |
| bastid_raZor | allup damnsmalllinux.org | 17:09 |
| Dillizar | ok Gnea | 17:09 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: i see them all now i need to pic one :D | 17:09 |
| ASULutzy | soundray, It is infact d????? | 17:09 |
| frank___ | any one have any idea how much bandwith using a command line irc takes up | 17:10 |
| Gnea | bazhang: as i pointed out to hwilde, the .gvfs is mounted, and the only way to get it unmounted, is to reboot | 17:10 |
| bazhang | hwilde, how did you do that | 17:10 |
| bastid_raZor | allup; http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html to be exact | 17:10 |
| mizipzor | startx problem with nvidia driver: dmesg past http://pastebin.com/f7e51d7e8 | 17:10 |
| soundray | hwilde: take my advice or leave it. | 17:10 |
| nixnoob | tom_: you mean you dropped to the tty and stopped gdm etc... | 17:10 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: yup! take the first one at the top and add this to the end of the line that starts with 'kernel': pci=routeirq | 17:10 |
| ASULutzy | soundray, it's supposed to be d????? | 17:10 |
| hwilde | bazhang, I went to System -> Admin -> Users. made a new user. then logged in as that user and deleted the previous user. then it corrupt permissions on that users ~/.gvfs and I cannot get rid of it. | 17:10 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: Yes. | 17:10 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: no, but it is on hwilde's | 17:10 |
| bazhang | soundray PM? | 17:11 |
| ASULutzy | soundray, It is on mine as well | 17:11 |
| soundray | hwilde: just don't call my advice bogus in public | 17:11 |
| ASULutzy | soundray, It is supposed to be like that | 17:11 |
| soundray | bazhang: sure | 17:11 |
| bastid_raZor | frank___; you could monitor your bandwidth with netspeed to determine the exact amount.. i doubt it is very much at all | 17:11 |
| hwilde | soundray, the fact that its corrupt is bogus. | 17:11 |
| Marcin26P_ | can samone help me with usm modem huewei e220 ?? | 17:11 |
| nixnoob | tom_: well its likely that there is some sort of mismatch you should try to do a hard clean of the driver and try to start over. | 17:11 |
| wng- | Anyone have experience customizing ubuntu liveCDs? I am trying to remove the menu that lets you pick language on boot as I only need english | 17:12 |
| Gnea | hwilde: i'm with soundray on that - bogus or not, a reboot is going to be the only way to get you out of the mess that you're currently in. | 17:12 |
| slayton | Marcin26P_, did you try google? | 17:12 |
| hwilde | soundray, the fact that root can't delete it and I have to follow your good advice is what I am not liking. your advice is fine. but why did my system get into this state simply removing a user | 17:12 |
| Marcin26P_ | yea i tryied | 17:12 |
| nixnoob | tom_: I can point you to a post I made on the forums for instructions, would you like ? | 17:12 |
| tom_ | I agree. One other possibility is that the file location has changed. | 17:12 |
| Marcin26P_ | and nothing about my problem | 17:12 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, Gnea: Again, I have the same permissions as he does, dr-x------ | 17:12 |
| tom_ | instructions for what? | 17:12 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, Gnea, soundray I don't believe anything is corrupt, or that rebooting is the answer? | 17:12 |
| alexd1 | wondering if someone can give me an idea on some weird bash behaviour? | 17:12 |
| nixnoob | tom_: hard clean and install for proprietary | 17:12 |
| Gnea | ASULutzy: does a reboot not stop the mount from taking place? | 17:12 |
| soundray | hwilde: it's hard to make a remote diagnosis like that. Could have been solar flare activity for all I know | 17:12 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: yes please | 17:13 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: i dont have it | 17:13 |
| nixnoob | tom_: hang on ill find it | 17:13 |

| Gnea | Dillizar: okay - can you please pastebin your menu.lst file? | 17:13 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: so do I. But the fact remains that it doesn't | 17:13 |
| _aNa_ | hi :9 a program or konsole command to give me info about my system? | 17:13 |
| nixnoob | tom_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=887371 its post #6 | 17:14 |
| bazhang | _aNa_, what aspect? | 17:14 |
| hwilde | soundray, right... cosmic rays... so then you agree it's bogus | 17:14 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: one could spend hours philosophizing and speculating how this could have come about, but the practical approach is to reboot and fsck. | 17:14 |
| _aNa_ | processor, system installed, arquitecture, etc | 17:14 |
| bazhang | hwilde, best to follow what soundray suggests | 17:14 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: thanks. For my setup, do you agree that Desktop-Alternate is appropriate, or is there a better choice? | 17:14 |
| ozpowermo1 | Does anybody know how to set/change the default application for a file in Ubunutu 8.04? | 17:14 |
| bazhang | _aNa_, sudo lshw (dont paste here) | 17:14 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37469/ | 17:14 |
| soundray | hwilde: no, the permissions you've cited are a pretty string indication that something went wrong at the filesystem level. | 17:15 |
| hwilde | bazhang, riight. once somebody says fsck I have already lost all hope. it's almost done with a fresh install from the livecd. with the correct new user | 17:15 |
| soundray | *strong | 17:15 |
| Legendario | i need someone that understands about networks and netcat to help me out with a backup. Anyone? | 17:15 |
| mizipzor | how do i update the nvidia kernel module? | 17:15 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, What were the permissions again, I missed the full string | 17:15 |
| asmo[B] | has anyone here setup vsftpd and can offer me some advice? | 17:15 |
| nixnoob | tom_: how much ram do you have? | 17:15 |
| _aNa_ | thx bazhang | 17:15 |
| hwilde | bazhang, ASULutzy, Gnea, soundray, try adding a new user through the gui, then login as that user, and delete your previous user. then try to delete their /home/ directory. that's all I did | 17:15 |
| bazhang | hwilde, seems really badly corrupted from the way you describe it; reboots are seldom necessary, though this seems to be that one time | 17:15 |
| hwilde | ASULutzy, permissions said D???????? | 17:16 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: 4gigs (could put in more, but I want to stick with 32 bit for now) | 17:16 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, Oh, with the question marks? | 17:16 |
| Marcin26P_ | can samone help me with usb modem ?? when i lsusb modem is ther but program dosent see him | 17:16 |
| nixnoob | tom_: I dont know why you used the alternate cd the live desktop cd wouldve been just fine. are you on 32 bit or 64? | 17:16 |
| soundray | hwilde: this is highly unlikely to reproduce your problem, because our systems are bound to be different | 17:16 |
| hwilde | ASULutzy, yes... and it would not let me change the permissions. | 17:17 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, I thought maybe you did something like chattr +i | 17:17 |
| _aNa_ | bazhang but I meant to know what ubuntu I have installed (32 or 64) | 17:17 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, Oh, then I think you should do what soundray said :) | 17:17 |
| bazhang | hwilde, we are here to fix problems not make our own :) | 17:17 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: I wanted raid support (mdadm isn't included in the regular desktop CD). I'm going with 32-bit this time. | 17:17 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: okay, check line 132 | 17:17 |
| _aNa_ | in about ubuntu just say the version (8.04) | 17:17 |
| soundray | hwilde: the kernel will refuse to do *anything* with that directory until you get the filesystem back in a consistent state | 17:17 |
| nixnoob | tom_: I see, and I too would stick with 32 bit. | 17:17 |
| bazhang | _aNa_, what does uname -r say | 17:17 |
| ozpowermo1 | HI ALL! :) Can anybody help me figure out how to change the default application for running files in Ubuntu? | 17:17 |
| Gnea | hwilde: i can't do that right now, but i will gladly try later today. | 17:18 |
| hwilde | bazhang, I bet it will break yours just like mine. | 17:18 |
| Marcin26P_ | can samone help me with usb device ?? | 17:18 |
| allup | ...i would say that downloading daam small linux is going to be daam slow 23 kib/sec speed | 17:18 |
| ASULutzy | hwilde, If your file system is hosed, you need to fsck, that's really all there is to it | 17:18 |
| hwilde | Marcin26P_, disconnect and reconnect and type "dmesg" does it register? | 17:18 |
| Gnea | Marcin26P_: what usb device? | 17:18 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: (too many browser plugins & so forth just don't work in 64-bit, and the 32-bit chroot environment is a kludge I don't want to try again) | 17:18 |
| nixnoob | tom_: once you get the driver installed properly I would suggest using nvidia-settings make sure you run it with sudo and make sure to uncheck the "merge" option when saving your new xorg.conf | 17:18 |
| mizipzor | does anyone know how to uninstall a nvidia driver? | 17:18 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: just line 132 and copy it to the last ? | 17:18 |
| hwilde | ASULutzy, if the filesystem is hosed then the gui user administration hosed it. | 17:18 |
| bazhang | hwilde, really need to file system check that | 17:18 |
| bastid_raZor | allup; try a different mirror | 17:18 |

| Scorp_ | TheDude: Go to system > Preferences > Preffered applications | 17:19 |
| nixnoob | tom_: also seperate X servers with multiple monitors and compiz can cause problems I suggest either not running compiz or just using twinview for all 3 monitors | 17:19 |
| bazhang | _aNa_, you got it? | 17:19 |
| hwilde | Gnea, should use kopt not add it to the line like that | 17:19 |
| TheDude | hwilde: I tried that, but it only does it once... I think Scorp_ has the right answer for me :) thanks for the help! | 17:20 |
| _aNa_ | bazhang says just kernel version | 17:20 |
| TheDude | Scorp_: thanks Scorp! :) | 17:20 |
| Gnea | hwilde: please, concentrate on your own problem. | 17:20 |
| bazhang | what version _aNa_ | 17:20 |
| Scorp_ | TheDude: U r welcome Dude..!! | 17:20 |
| mgroman | hey all | 17:20 |
| hwilde | Gnea, next kernel upgrade it will not maintain that option unless you put it in kopt. | 17:20 |
| tom_ | nixnoob: Say, is your working setup from the 8.04.1 or 8.04 distribution? | 17:20 |
| Dillizar | Gnea: save and reboot? | 17:20 |
| Gnea | hwilde: we don't know if this is going to even solve the problem yet. | 17:20 |
| Gnea | Dillizar: yes. | 17:20 |
| mgroman | Scorp_: U R A SKORPIOJN!!! | 17:20 |
| Gnea | hwilde: but thank you | 17:21 |

| hwilde | esh_, like on my cisco card, it says /90 but it's actually /55 | 17:36 |
| soundray | esh_: also, it's much more important to assess throughput than those signal strength indicators | 17:36 |
| kun-10 | anyone can help me | 17:36 |
| hwilde | esh_, they forgot to add that max signal is actually -45dBm to min +55dBm or whatever, and they just display it /90 but they don't add +45 to start at zero | 17:36 |

| Blaqlight | Chaosblad3, it shouldn't be any problem whatsoever. | 18:13 |

| Murlis | Slart: I was also googling and came here.... ;) | 18:48 |
| mizipzor_ | SuperQ: well, it fails on boot, and i didnt know what to say, i guess running startx from console is the same thing as having the window manager on autostart? | 18:48 |
| ubun | Gnea:can u plz recommend me any torrents other than ktorrent and utorrent? | 18:48 |
| Gnea | arrrghhh: you could map the ntfs partition to a share, mount the share, then export it via nfs - not sure how well that would work | 18:48 |
| SuperQ | mizipzor_: Not really | 18:48 |
| soundray | Murlis: setting the entire locale just for OpenOffice.org is not an option? | 18:48 |
| arrrghhh | Gnea, it's been proven. and can i setup a samba share in fstab? so it mounts it on boot? i want it to be no different than if the drive was mounted locally. | 18:48 |

| SuperQ | mizipzor_: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 18:52 |

| justin_ | what is going on here. I changed the permission of a folder with this command "sudo chmod -R 777 Music" and i was able to write to the files. I downloaded some more songs and was unable to edit the files.

| Flannel | armandocer: No reason to mention that. | 20:11 |
| sk33t0r | can anyone helps me with my issue? | 20:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Slart: i bet everyone goes through that "wondering what is the root pass" good ole memories | 20:11 |
| afeijo | ubottu: you are a smart guy, ops, bot | 20:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:11 |
| dekushrub | sk33t0r what's your issue? | 20:11 |

| sk33t0r | hey.. I was trying to reinstall the newest version of ieee80211 so I could use the new ipw2200 firmware, as I was doing that I screwed up my wireless card so I cant wireless internet anymore.. I wanted to reinstall the linux headers so I did that and now my sound card doesn't work anymore or anything what should I do? | 20:12 |
| armandocer | flannel why is that | 20:12 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: sigh... yes.. we do get that a lot.. | 20:12 |
| larbuntu | I got this problem that's really weird, when I click on places in the menu and choose anything in the first column such as 'home' 'documents' and 'music' it opens totem Player. It would be nice to see the files in Nautilus. any help would be greatly appreciated. | 20:12 |
| dabb1 | afeijo:what happened ? | 20:12 |
| Flannel | armandocer: Because there's no reason to set a root password | 20:12 |
| sk33t0r | sudo > root | 20:12 |
| sk33t0r | do while sudo == root | 20:13 |

| dabb1 | s there any way so that the mounted folder by samba can be unmounted iautomatically | 20:13 |
| ladyfantasy | actually, sudo < root; that's the whole point :P | 20:13 |
| armandocer | maybe if you would rather su instead of sudo i understand the ecurity implications | 20:13 |
| plik | doh | 20:13 |
| armandocer | either way though no biggie | 20:13 |
| Flannel | armandocer: You're welcome to use the root account, but please don't recommend it to people in this channel. | 20:14 |
| wolson | hmmm | 20:14 |
| Chousuke | su is different, it asks for the target user's password | 20:14 |
| wolson | How do I shutdown to console ONLY | 20:14 |
| sk33t0r | shutdown --help | 20:14 |
| ladyfantasy | one can do just as many damaging things to a system with careless use of sudo | 20:14 |
| Flannel | wolson: ctrl-alt-f1, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 20:14 |
| ladyfantasy | i know, i've had to piece together more than one system that some dev or dba trashed with sudo | 20:14 |

| dabb1 | s there any way so that the mounted folder by samba can be unmounted automatically | 20:15 |

| sergiu | i have removed xorg.conf, it is possible to re-create it? | 20:15 |
| Slart | dabb1: wait at least 5 minutes before repeating your question. | 20:15 |
| plik | the point of having a sudoers file is that you can limit the damage that can be done - if you choose to set it up properly | 20:16 |
| dabb1 | ok | 20:16 |
| Slart | dabb1: you only annoy people and sooner or later you'll get kicked | 20:16 |
| afeijo | when I click from dolphin on a +x file, it will run? | 20:16 |
| dabb1 | Slart:ok | 20:16 |
| sk33t0r | do while sudo <= root | 20:16 |
| armandocer | i dont understand the appeal of not explaining something to someone who asks maybe someone needs to run a cron job as root there are cases where it could be useful | 20:16 |
| slammed87d21 | any time i try to play frets on fire, the program shuts down. what am i doing wrong | 20:16 |
| Slart | armandocer: ubuntu is designed to use sudo without root password.. I can't think of anything you can only do with a root password | 20:17 |
| Flannel | armandocer: The difference is su vs sudo, we're not hiding the root account. | 20:17 |
| plik | sudo crontab -e works for me | 20:17 |
| ShackJack | sergiu: When you restart ubuntu I think it will prompt you for resolutions, etc... and create one for you... | 20:17 |
| sergiu | ShackJack, i will try to reboot ubuntu.. | 20:17 |
| w0ls0n | when I turn on the box, it goes to gnome. I need to install an NVidia driver but I can't seem to just get to console?? | 20:17 |
| slammed87d21 | anyone? | 20:17 |
| Slart | armandocer: but this is getting philosophical.. I think the ot channel would be better suited for this discussion | 20:18 |
| wng- | So I have a file with a list of only the packages I want installed, and then another file with all the packages I have installed. file a is a subset of file b. What I want to get is a all the packages that are in file b, but not in a, any tips? | 20:18 |
| Slart | wng-: ouch.. that sounds like a programming | 20:18 |
| ShackJack | w0ls0n: You can do that while in GNOME.... | 20:18 |
| Slart | wng-: ouch.. that sounds like programming homework =) | 20:18 |
| w0ls0n | it says I have to be at console, not in X | 20:18 |

| Miyavix3 | can someone PM me please? | 20:19 |
| Mr_Bad_News | everything i upload doesnt work | 20:19 |
| Slart | wng-: you can probably do it using some weird bash magic.. sort, grep.. | 20:19 |
| wng- | Slart: was hoping I could run one command to remove all the packages instead of going back through it | 20:19 |
| slammed87d21 | anyone? | 20:19 |
| wng- | Slart: yea, I was thinking sed but I'm not too good with sed | 20:19 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it plays fine when i open it in a browser but when i upload it it never works im wondering if its something with ffmpeg | 20:19 |
| armandocer | slart i agree this probably isnt the place for it | 20:19 |
| Slart | wng-: no.. don't misunderstand me.. I didn't accuse you of asking homework questions.. it just sounded just like homework =) | 20:19 |
| w0ls0n | how? | 20:19 |
| Kars | Is there any calender application (Evolution, Kalendar), that can sync with Outlook running on a different machine? | 20:19 |

| w0ls0n | ShackJack, how? I can't seem to figure it out | 20:20 |
| wng- | Slart: I was thinking that as well, then I could use sed or awk to filter out all the nonsense it would create with the +'s | 20:20 |

| Plouj | is there a way to list the installed packages sorted by the amount of space they take up? | 20:23 |
| becky | excid3: how do i tell what driver i'm running? | 20:23 |

| Miyavix3 | Dude, I don't know how to do that | 20:23 |
| sriramoman | do ordinary nautilus scripts require any special package? | 20:23 |
| becky | excid3: ok | 20:24 |
| tux | i'm in X and if i use ctr-alt-f1 can't see any tty | 20:24 |
| slammed87d21 | after about 10 or 15 seconds into a game, the game shuts dow | 20:24 |
| slammed87d21 | down | 20:24 |
| excid3 | best thing would be to use wget to download the newest one from nvidia.com | 20:24 |
| Scorp_ | Miyavix3: Can u login using hte LIVE CD ??? | 20:24 |
| excid3 | becky, take the driver from nvidia.com and compile it yourself | 20:24 |
| iGama | slammed87d21, try running the game from the Console, and see the output | 20:24 |
| Miyavix3 | The instal disk? | 20:24 |
| slammed87d21 | how do i do that? | 20:24 |
| Slart | wng-: oh.. what did you do? | 20:24 |
| iGama | slammed87d21, open a terminal, and run the game, put the name of the app | 20:25 |
| excid3 | becky, that would be your best bet on getting it back to normla | 20:25 |

| w0ls0n | no it's still only using 800x600 | 20:25 |

| sriramoman | slammed87d21: were you trying to run any 3D game, preferably tell me the name of the game you attempted to play? | 20:25 |
| slammed87d21 | its a linux game | 20:25 |

| slammed87d21 | im trying to play Frets on Fire | 20:25 |
| ShackJack | w0ls0n: BUt it's using the restrcited drivers, no? | 20:25 |
| Miyavix3 | ok uh | 20:25 |
| Slart | wng-: hehe.. well.. bravo.. most elegant | 20:25 |
| Miyavix3 | How do I actually fix it? | 20:25 |
| wng- | Slart: I'm guessing uniq is some bash magic that I was trying to write before | 20:26 |

| slammed87d21 | so how do i run the game in terminal? | 20:26 |
| ShackJack | w0ls0n: And you tried using displayconfig-gtk I assume to set a higher res? | 20:26 |
| sriramoman | slammed87d21: its not working for me, too. ;) | 20:26 |
| iGama | slammed87d21, how did you installed it? | 20:26 |
| iGama | package manager or tar.gz? | 20:27 |
| slammed87d21 | from the add and remove programs program | 20:27 |
| iGama | ok | 20:27 |
| sriramoman | slammed87d21: i think its a 3d game and you dont have support for 3d in ur graphx card. | 20:27 |
| kevin_123 | I've got my nVidia drivers working on an older Dell Laptop. My "issue" is that things are running SUPER slow. If I minimize a program I watch it minimize like a blind being pulled. Is the laptop just too slow to evaluate Linux properly? | 20:27 |

| iGama | slammed87d21, open a terminal, and write fretsonfire | 20:27 |
| slammed87d21 | well, it worked before i downloaded any songs for it | 20:27 |
| iGama | slammed87d21, so run it in the console and see the output | 20:27 |
| ShackJack | w0ls0n: No, better to use the resources of the room... | 20:27 |

| kaiwen | Mr_Bad_News, did it work before? like not grainy? | 20:29 |
| sriramoman | slammed87d21: its either problem with the game or doesnt support ur card | 20:29 |

| Mr_Bad_News | now its not | 20:29 |
| vash[b] | nothing serious. just gaming and the like | 20:29 |
| slammed87d21 | so how do i figure that out? | 20:29 |
| Fenix|work | Should localedef be running for 64 minutes? | 20:29 |
| kaiwen | Mr_Bad_News ok, go to /etc/X11 | 20:29 |
| kaiwen | Mr_Bad_News, do a cd, and you'll see a backup file | 20:29 |
| DocMabuse_ | excuse me can tell me everyone how can i find my soundcard? | 20:30 |

| Floi | I've got a problem with my wireless network after installing hardy. it doesn't connect/find any networks until I've done the "check hardware" test | 20:31 |
| sriramoman | iGama: segmentation fault occurs even when some hardware feature is not supported for that application, for eg. dri modules in my VIA card,where we need 3D acceleration. | 20:31 |
| kaiwen | Floi, you have to reinstall yoru drivers | 20:31 |
| iGama | ok | 20:31 |

| iGama | sriramoman, ok | 20:32 |
| kaiwen | Floi, actually try this. | 20:32 |
| Slart | kaiwen: well.. for a browsing, openoffice, general use computer you don't really need that much memory.. you run gnome on it? | 20:32 |
| kaiwen | Floi, go to terminal, do. depmod -a | 20:32 |
| kaiwen | Slart, kde 4.1 | 20:32 |

| kaiwen | Floi, then modprobe -i ndiswrapper | 20:32 |
| kaiwen | Slart, i like it so far | 20:32 |
| kaiwen | Slart, I'm a colelge student, so it looks cool ;) | 20:32 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: can u pls tell me how u installed kde 4.1? | 20:32 |
| excid3 | becky, well if you are using the 'nv' driver than you wnot have 3d support :( | 20:33 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: i am a college stu, too thats y. | 20:33 |
| Slart | kaiwen: mm.. I've got a laptop currently running gnome.. might install kubuntu on it.. just to try it out | 20:33 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman you have to add the kde repository | 20:33 |
| sriramoman | can u pls give me the link? | 20:33 |
| becky | excid3: i'm realizing that :( | 20:33 |

| excid3 | becky, but at least you can user the xserver, try doing another nvidia-xconfig since you have 173 installed...it may just be that the newer kernel is causing problems with it | 20:33 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: or some VALID tutorial to the procedure? | 20:34 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, it's not that hard to find a google, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-KDE-4-1-On-Ubuntu-8-04-91034.shtml | 20:34 |

| nmeless | can anyone help? | 20:34 |
| becky | excid3: when i do that do i need to reboot or just /etc/init.d/gdm restart? | 20:34 |
| kaiwen | Floi tell me what you see | 20:34 |
| Floi | nothing | 20:34 |

| sk33t0r | if I have a device listed in lspci, does that mean it will be possible to get it working dependant, of course, on the amount of research I do? | 20:35 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: funny i tried it and that server was not reachable in my comp [refering to kde repos]. thats y it failed when i tried previously. | 20:35 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, hmm let me check what repos i have | 20:35 |
| ganymede | sk33t0r: depends on the device, probably | 20:35 |
| Floi | kaiwen doesn't say anything | 20:35 |
| ganymede | sk33t0r: i'm sure there are some obscure devices like hdmi capture cards or something which probably won't work | 20:36 |
| kaiwen | Floi, then ndiswrapper is not loaded | 20:36 |
| kaiwen | what did it say when you did modprobe -i ndiswrapper? | 20:36 |
| Slart | sk33t0r: I think being listed in lspci only tells you the card is connected and working on a most basic level.. doesn't mean you can make it do whatever it's supposed to do without drivers | 20:37 |

| sriramoman | not at all. | 20:40 |
| psyke83 | hi, does anyone know the proper way to add a library to the ia32-libs package for 64bit users? The latest flash plugin has new 32bit dependencies that aren't in the package... | 20:40 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, you can go to google though.... | 20:40 |
| Slart | detrate: it's not an elegant solution.. but for a one time thing it works | 20:40 |
| linuxkrn | hey all, how can I prevent upgrades to certain packages that I've manually changed the source code and install over? | 20:40 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: certain sites dont work for me at all, for eg. mobango,the site which u gave, etc. | 20:41 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, are you on campus ;) | 20:41 |
| Slart | linuxkrn: I think you can "pin" them in some way | 20:41 |
| detrate | Well.. I was writing a php script but it's not as easy to play with the numbers I grep as I thought | 20:41 |
| Slart | linuxkrn: to keep them from updating | 20:41 |
| detrate | I was hoping to just pipe in a replacement inside the regular expression | 20:41 |
| linuxkrn | Slart: wouldn't have a link on that? :) | 20:41 |
| detrate | I just need to divide my tokens by two :( | 20:41 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: no. my own broadband, and anything else, incld. torrents, orkut, irc, illegal stuff .......... works. | 20:42 |
| Slart | linuxkrn: hmm.. nope.. or wait.. hang on | 20:42 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman who is yoru provider? | 20:42 |
| Miyavix31 | Hey again | 20:42 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: BSNL | 20:42 |
| Slart | !pin | linuxkrn | 20:42 |
| ubottu | linuxkrn: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 20:42 |
| linuxkrn | Slart: problem I have is they were installed via apt-get and don't appear on the gui package list (that you can "lock") | 20:42 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, prob. that's why | 20:42 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, never heard of it. | 20:42 |
| Miyavix31 | So uh, I'm working off the live CD | 20:43 |
| linuxkrn | Slart: thanks | 20:43 |
| Miyavix31 | But I can't install updates? | 20:43 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, let me look up the website's ip ;) | 20:43 |
| Slart | linuxkrn: you're welcome | 20:43 |
| Floi | kaiwen so I'll have to get ndiswrapper? | 20:43 |
| kaiwen | Floi, you dont' have it? | 20:43 |
| ganymede | if i add a custom line to my sources.list, then i just have to apt-get update, and them i'm good to go? is it normal that i get errors about packages not being able to be authenticated? | 20:43 |
| Slart | detrate: sorry, I don't really know how to do that in a script.. perhaps someone else does | 20:43 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: since its indian govt. stuff, they have the least botheration or intelligence to do things such as block stuff from net. | 20:43 |
| Miyavix31 | good thing I'm on the live CD because now I have internet for both computers | 20:43 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman it may be your provider's dns | 20:43 |
| Miyavix31 | no wait | 20:44 |
| Miyavix31 | it's working :O!! | 20:44 |
| Miyavix31 | WOAH | 20:44 |
| kaiwen | Floi, well in any case, do you know the name of yoru network driver? | 20:44 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: i am sure its not. just that they may have not connected to certain sites from certain parts of the world. i think all these sites used to work well before that cable disruption 6 months ago in suez canal area. | 20:45 |
| robot_jesus | how do I associate file types with a program, alternatives ? | 20:45 |
| frosty | how much should i be paying for a 512 pair of rdram? | 20:45 |
| robot_jesus | rdram ? you should get off that asap | 20:45 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, could be. you may need to find a mirror | 20:45 |
| Floi | kaiwen how would I find out? | 20:46 |
| robot_jesus | frosty: no more than 150 | 20:46 |
| frosty | wow, thats a lot for an old system | 20:46 |
| Floi | kaiwen thing is- everything worked fine before I upgraded to hardy | 20:46 |
| kaiwen | Floi, I'm not sure. | 20:46 |
| robot_jesus | frosty: yea rdram is expensive | 20:46 |
| Floi | kaiwen let me try to find out | 20:46 |
| kaiwen | Floi, you can only find it, what's yoru network card called | 20:46 |
| frosty | any other ways to get that old system hauling? | 20:47 |
| frosty | already used nlite | 20:47 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman actually, i may have a mirror foryou | 20:47 |
| becky | excid3: it's working! mwuhahahahhahahahhaha thx | 20:47 |
| sriramoman | yes | 20:47 |
| frosty | that machine is a little slow.....and i can't use any other ram? | 20:48 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman i take tha tback | 20:48 |
| robot_jesus | frost typically not | 20:48 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: :( | 20:48 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman maybe you can connect to a proxy server? | 20:48 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman then through there download it | 20:49 |
| Moonraker | Hey, I have a problem with Flash in Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy x64. | 20:49 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: shall try. | 20:49 |
| frosty | how about overclocking and stuff? | 20:49 |
| excid3 | becky, awesome glad it worked! :D i was just thinking about upgrading to intrepid myself to see if it would break mine too | 20:49 |
| becky | excid3: if you do please let me know. | 20:50 |
| becky | btw loving intrepid! | 20:50 |
| becky | excid3: the new gnome is sweet and nautilus upgrades have been needed for long time | 20:50 |
| Miyavix31 | Flannel!!! I'm doing it! | 20:50 |
| robot_jesus | frosty not sure, you probably can though | 20:50 |
| excid3 | becky, i probably wont for a little while because im at home on dialup...but in a week and a half ill be back at college on highspeed :D | 20:50 |
| frosty | any ideas at all :P ? | 20:51 |
| excid3 | becky, yeah thats what im really looking forward to :D | 20:51 |
| frosty | it's running fine now...but.. | 20:51 |
| excid3 | becky, how stable is it? | 20:51 |
| Coir | For some reason after an unclean reboot I had to run fsck, and now X won't boot on my machine, and trying to reinstall it I get this message: "Internal Error, ordering was unable to handle the media swap" | 20:51 |
| becky | excid3: on my other laptop i've had no issues (intel chipset) so i decided to on my main laptop | 20:52 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman try this http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html | 20:52 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman add the repos from, there, ;) | 20:52 |
| === enmand_ is now known as enmand | ||
| becky | excid3: don't know if you use vpn at all but the way they've integrated into the network manager is sweet! | 20:53 |
| sriramoman | ok, yes. this site works! thanks :) | 20:53 |
| sbox | Hello all, why I go to apt-get upgrade it tells me things have been kept back. What's the reason for this? | 20:53 |
| Coir | Anyone have any ideas? | 20:53 |
| sk33t0r | sudo apt-get install >> windows | 20:53 |
| sriramoman | has anyone recently installed an update called "evolution-plugins" , which was roughly 83KB? | 20:54 |
| excid3 | becky, yeah i use vpn for gaming with my friends sometimes, i didnt know they integrated that yet! awesome! | 20:54 |
| excid3 | becky, im pretty sure im just going to upgrade right now :D | 20:54 |
| becky | excid3: :) cool let me know how it goes | 20:54 |
| === Syntux__ is now known as Syntux | ||
| kaiwen | sriramoman are you able to install it? | 20:55 |
| excid3 | becky, will do! need to connect to a faster repository first...only getting 50kb/s and that would take a while even though im stealing highspeed at work :D | 20:55 |
| kaiwen | sriamoman does the repository load | 20:55 |
| spsneo | how to install kqemu in hardy? | 20:56 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: i'll be trying kde4 after 1/2 hour, coz downloads will be free for me then. | 20:56 |
| doggymenz | excid3, i download at 9 megabyte/second from the repository with my 100 mbit/s internet connection at home | 20:56 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, weird | 20:56 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, what's with ur isp? | 20:56 |
| excid3 | doggymenz, wow thats impressive, you must be close to the server then...ive got dialup at home :( | 20:57 |
| becky | doggymenz: you shouldn't be allowed to brag like that in here :( :( | 20:57 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: in india, nearly every isp offers limited bandwidth speed or bandwidth or offers free download timings. | 20:57 |
| doggymenz | becky, ;D | 20:57 |
| excid3 | doggymenz, and at college they cap us at 300kb/s down :( | 20:57 |
| doggymenz | excid3, wow, what a sucks college | 20:57 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, well let's do a quick check, can you access this http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ | 20:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sriramoman: nice very nice damn why couldnt they do it over here | 20:58 |
| georgy_28 | spsneo, : sudo apt-get install kqemu-common | 20:58 |
| excid3 | doggymenz, yeah but someone told me if you use a static ip there might be a way to get around it ;-) | 20:58 |
| mizipzor_ | i have an external usb hdd, im looking to mount it, according to /dev/ it has more than one partition (in windows it has only one), and none of them is apparently a ntfs partition.... how to mount it? | 20:58 |
| Alistair | Hi can anyone give me a url for drivers download - I have several but need linux driver for Asus MB and finding it very hard to get. | 20:58 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: the link works, i told u previously. | 20:58 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, k wasn't sure if you were talking about the webiste or the repois | 20:58 |
| Gnea | Alistair: drivers for what on the motherboard? | 20:59 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, gl w/ it | 20:59 |
| sriramoman | what? | 20:59 |
| kaiwen | sriramoman, "good luck with it" | 20:59 |
| sriramoman | thanx | 20:59 |
| tillux1 | heya there ;) is there some networking-support-channel somewhere? because I need help setting up a proxy for school, especially including the proxy as a bridge... | 20:59 |
| kaiwen | ok I'm gonna go, hw to do ;) | 21:00 |
| kaiwen | bye guys | 21:00 |
| sriramoman | bye | 21:00 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, install gparted and you can have a graphical view of your drives, then you can mount them accordingly | 21:00 |
| sriramoman | kaiwen: bye | 21:00 |
| spsneo | georgy_28: ya I have installed it.. but it still says that qemu accelearation layer not activated | 21:00 |
| kaiwen | !dhcp | grep tillux1 | 21:00 |
| ubottu | grep tillux1: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 21:00 |
| spsneo | ? | 21:00 |
| bozrob | what app is this? http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/files/imagecache/screenshot_full/files/445101kd0cf9.png | 21:00 |
| tillux1 | kaiwen: the problem is that we're using a win2k3 server as a dhcp server ;) | 21:00 |
| excid3 | whats the release version for Intrepid? still not beta1 yet right? | 21:00 |
| Alistair | Gnea: Video drivers for P5VD2-VM | 21:00 |
| sriramoman | gnome-calculator | 21:01 |
| georgy_28 | spsneo, : ? too | 21:01 |
| Brucee | how can i add "dclock" to the applications and run; rather than using alt+f2 and type it in? | 21:01 |
| kaiwen | lol, i'll stay 2. min. | 21:01 |
| kaiwen | tillux1 so the serve is win2k3? | 21:01 |
| kaiwen | tillux1 is it also the proxy? | 21:01 |
| Gnea | Alistair: oh, that's separate from the MB, in the driver sense.. what does lspci | grep VGA return? | 21:01 |
| bozrob | brucee; right click applications > edit menu > new item | 21:02 |
| wolson | nvidia-xconfig: Conflicts: nvidia-glx << How do I get rid of that?? | 21:02 |
| tillux1 | kaiwen: no, the proxy is dansguard+squid on an ubuntu machine | 21:02 |
| Alistair | Gnea: currently I have to run it in VGA mode, otherwise its unusable. | 21:02 |
| wolson | tried a few different ways | 21:02 |
| wolson | apt-get remove --purge etc | 21:02 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, so the setup is like this client > server> proxy | 21:02 |
| Gnea | Alistair: okay, but that isn't what i asked | 21:02 |
| excid3 | wolson, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx | 21:02 |
| bozrob | brucee; did that work? | 21:02 |
| sriramoman | Alistair: use mesa drivers if it does not work. | 21:03 |
| frybye | I have the recovery live (linux-based-) acronis true image on a cd - but for the eepc of course with no cd-drive need it on a usb-stick.. how exactly can I transer the live acronis cd to a bootable usb-stick? | 21:03 |
| tillux1 | kaiwen: the setup is flexible ;) | 21:03 |
| Alistair | Gnea: sec I will boot up and do that - can you go to grep from the desktop?? If so can you advise pse? | 21:03 |
| mizipzor_ | excid3: thanks, installing them now | 21:03 |
| wolson | this is what I keep egting | 21:03 |
| wolson | Package nvidia-glx is not installed, so not removed | 21:03 |
| Saladin | I have a problem with sound through Skype. Using Ubuntu 8.04, with ALSA | 21:03 |
| wolson | oh it says it's broken | 21:03 |
| Saladin | Can someone help me please? | 21:03 |
| sriramoman | Alistair: via cards are known for bad linux compatibility. i am sufferin here, too. | 21:03 |
| excid3 | wolson, odd, you checked synaptic? | 21:03 |
| tillux1 | frybye: you can boot it from a pxe-server via lan *g* | 21:03 |
| oddalot | Saladin what's the problem? | 21:03 |
| wolson | yea | 21:03 |
| Saladin | No sound is being recognised or given out | 21:03 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, gl | 21:03 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, if you had client > proxy> server | 21:03 |
| sriramoman | Saladin: try using pulsecode audio | 21:03 |
| Gnea | Alistair: applications->accessories->terminal | 21:03 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, you can enable internet connection sharing | 21:03 |
| mizipzor_ | gparted was unable to determine the filesystem of the disk :/ hmm | 21:04 |
| excid3 | wolson, use fix broken packages in synaptic if its broken | 21:04 |
| oddalot | Saladin like your microphone, or your speakers? | 21:04 |
| Saladin | sriramoman, how? | 21:04 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, b/e the two, and that has to do with iptables and such | 21:04 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, corrupted partition? | 21:04 |
| Alistair | Gnea: tks | 21:04 |
| mizipzor_ | excid3: maybe | 21:04 |
| sriramoman | Saladin: choose that in the configuration in gnome volume settings. | 21:04 |
| frybye | tillux1: - hmmm.. there are even people who know how to fly a bowing 747... if it comes to it... | 21:04 |
| wolson | looking for it | 21:04 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, only thing i can think of that would cause that :-\ | 21:04 |
| Saladin | oddalot: My speakers and mic work fine - just not when using Skype. Skype created no sound nor does it pick it up. | 21:05 |
| tillux1 | kaiwen: b/e ? | 21:05 |
| kdridi | hi there | 21:05 |
| frybye | tillux1: you dont happen to have the answer to -my- question do you...? | 21:05 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, I have to go, but do a google around, "firestarter internet connection sharing", "ubuntu internet connection sharing", etc. That may help with the connection in between (b/e) | 21:05 |
| Coir | For some reason after an unclean reboot I had to run fsck, and now X won't boot on my machine, and trying to reinstall it I get this message: "Internal Error, ordering was unable to handle the media swap" | 21:05 |
| oddalot | salidin did you try the skype settings? | 21:05 |
| mizipzor_ | excid3: what on earth could have corrupted it? it was working fine under windows like four hours ago :p | 21:05 |
| Saladin | sriramoman, I only see ALSO, OSS and PulseAudio | 21:05 |
| kdridi | have you ever hear sound under ubuntu with an imac ? | 21:05 |
| frybye | just copying the data from the recovery cd in the usual manner to a usb stick would not do the trick - of that I am pretty sure.. | 21:05 |
| kaiwen | !ask | grep frybye | 21:05 |
| ubottu | grep frybye: 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. :-) | 21:05 |
| Saladin | Yes, oddalot | 21:06 |
| sriramoman | Saladin: i meant PulseAudio, sorry. | 21:06 |
| mib_ouuyz1b0 | hello everyone. | 21:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Saladin: is this when youre running skype on its own without another app that uses sound? | 21:06 |
| tillux1 | frybye: well, that indeed is one possible solution of your problem... not the easiest, but it should work | 21:06 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, that could be it...windows :P i had a flash drive die on me completely it freezes up ubuntu and windows when i plug it in | 21:06 |
| greymalkin | How do I get portage to download sources from a directory on this machine for a custom ebuild in an overlay? | 21:06 |
| frybye | kaiwen - I did not ask to ask... | 21:06 |
| greymalkin | I keep getting "/opt/portage-asp/libdbus++-0.1.tar.bz2: Unsupported scheme." | 21:06 |
| wolson | fsck this, I'm reinstalling it | 21:06 |
| Saladin | Pirate_Hunter: In both situations | 21:06 |
| greymalkin | (same with file:// or file:/// in front of that path) | 21:06 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, maybe you unplugged it while writing information to it? | 21:06 |
| excid3 | wolson, thats probably the easiest fix unfortunatley | 21:07 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, so can you tell me the objective? what's the problem you are trying to solve right now | 21:07 |
| Alistair | Gnea: VGA compatible controller: VIA technologies Chrome9 HC IGP | 21:07 |
| frybye | if I already have a bootable cd with the whole system on it - shifting that to a usb-stick and making it bootable should not be that mammoth a task or..? | 21:07 |
| Saladin | sriramoman, Any particular one? I have five in total to choose from | 21:07 |
| kaiwen | frybye, it's not that hard to do a google on that "ubuntu boot off usb" | 21:07 |
| AbbasJin[ubuntu] | i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 64-bit in virtual box running over vista 64 | 21:07 |
| sriramoman | Saladin: PulseAudio | 21:07 |
| AbbasJin[ubuntu] | its giving me error | 21:07 |
| Saladin | sriramoman, I know, there are five that say pulse audio. Or should there be one on its own as well? | 21:08 |
| Alistair | sriramoman: it works, but VGA is not that flash for movies. Does mesa driver work better? | 21:08 |
| frybye | I do not need to boot ubuntu - I need to boot acronis live image recovery disk.... a bootable ubuntu I have... | 21:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Saladin: well pulseaudio could help try that first also to get multiple sound in applications if that is one of your problems as well you could download libasound2, but first try changing sound to pulseaduio and configuring skype for it | 21:08 |
| frybye | on a stick I mean... | 21:08 |
| Miyavix31 | Hey, can someone find me a working guide to fixing ubuntu using the live CD? | 21:08 |
| ikonia | frybye: then here is not the correct place to get support | 21:08 |
| kaiwen | frybye, really, then that has to do with yoru bios | 21:08 |
| ikonia | frybye: this is support for ubuntu only | 21:08 |
| Miyavix31 | I managed to apt-get update | 21:08 |
| mizipzor_ | excid3: hmm, maybe... is there a way to recover the data from a corrupted partition? | 21:08 |
| Miyavix31 | which was cool | 21:08 |
| kaiwen | frybye, really, this is not a bios support, this is ubuntu. But, if you insist, go to yoru bios | 21:08 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: what is the issue ? | 21:08 |
| kaiwen | frybye, and set boot from cd as number1 | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | I started removing ubuntu | 21:09 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, do you know what format it was? | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | and I need to fix it | 21:09 |
| kaiwen | frybye that way the cd is booted before HD | 21:09 |
| Alistair | I guess the Envy drivers will not work with this graphics system? | 21:09 |
| mizipzor_ | excid3: ntfs | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: what errors are you having ? | 21:09 |
| sriramoman | Alistair: mesa may work better with good refresh rates etc, but it may sometimes be jerky. it will definitely *work* and not harm ur system, so give it a try. | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | WEll | 21:09 |
| _Zeus_ | is packages.ubuntu.com down? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | !envy > Alistair | 21:09 |
| ubottu | Alistair, please see my private message | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | I have no desktop, so I'd like to get that back | 21:09 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: nope | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: what did you do to remove it, and what do you have | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | but apt-get install ubuntu-desktop isn't working | 21:09 |
| frybye | ikonia - I am trying to find a way (for me as a newbie-) to put an image of my ubuntu8.04 installation on another pc in the home.. I dont care at all how it is done.. it is just that hubackup cant see the mounted directory from the other pc when it is on my desktop.. | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | Someone told me to do something with my python | 21:09 |
| sriramoman | Saladin: choose any one out of the 5 | 21:09 |
| _Zeus_ | hmmmm.... can't load it | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | sudo remove python2.4-minimal | 21:09 |
| Miyavix31 | Don't do that >_> | 21:10 |
| frybye | I know how to use acronis to backup ubuntu - the only problem is that it runs from a cd... | 21:10 |
| mib_ouuyz1b0 | hey there. i have a question. i am reinstalling ubuntu 8.04 desktop now. does anyone know if i have to do anything to the homefolder if i want the new instance of ubuntu to keep using it? in the installation i wish to overwrite /home is mountpoint for /dev/sdc1 | 21:10 |
| ikonia | frybye: so what's the problem ? | 21:10 |
| Tironos_Drii | http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/245/84614d1218626794funnystsw3.jpg | 21:10 |
| frybye | acronis say - buy an external cd drive.. | 21:10 |
| Miyavix31 | It started uninstalling like 30 programs before I realised what it was doing | 21:10 |
| excid3 | mizipzor_, dunno if a force mount would work or not :-\ | 21:10 |
| mlLK | hey is gzip tarfile > tarfile the same as gzip -c tarfile > tarfile ? | 21:10 |
| frybye | they did not send the 80$ to pay for it unfortunatly... | 21:10 |
| kaiwen | frybye, do a search on google "grub boot from cd" | 21:10 |
| ikonia | frybye: pardon ? | 21:10 |
| Fenix|work | Greetings, how can I ensure mod_xml and mod_zlib are installed on my ubuntu box? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | Fenix|work: as in apache mods ? | 21:10 |
| kaiwen | frybye, we don't want to hear complaints. | 21:10 |

| Fenix|work | sriramoman, I'm using ubuntu-server, no gui | 21:11 |
| kaiwen | frybye, if you want to boot from an iso, put the image on a HD that is ext formatted. | 21:11 |
| Gnea | Alistair: then, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and make sure to choose the new VIA driver | 21:11 |
| Miyavix31 | tells me to kdpg --configure -a | 21:11 |
| Miyavix31 | but tha doesn't help | 21:11 |
| Fenix|work | ikonia, I don't see either in mods-available | 21:11 |
| ikonia | Fenix|work: so what's stopping you look in the apache config file ? | 21:11 |
| kaiwen | frybye, then do what i said earlier, that'll boot the iso on grub | 21:11 |
| frybye | strange - up till now I have not experianced this sort of "reception " on #ubuntu.. hmmm | 21:11 |
| Miyavix31 | Let me boot up completely | 21:11 |
| ikonia | Fenix|work: then they are not installed | 21:12 |
| Miyavix31 | i'll tell you what it says exactly | 21:12 |

| ikonia | frybye: what exactly is the issue | 21:12 |
| kaiwen | frybye, what recovery cd. | 21:12 |
| kaiwen | frybye, yes. | 21:12 |

| mzuverink | I have a Sony Vaio Laptop, model #: VGN-NR385E. It has a Intel HDA sound card, and I h=am experiencing the inability to turn of the laptop speakers while there are headphone attached, music or sounds come out both the laptop speakers and the headphones which makes it impossible to use in public locations. I have Googled it to death but the only results I get are the exact opposite, speakers work fine but no headphones do not work at all. I | 21:12 |
| mzuverink | need to do something and quickly before classes start in two weeks, I do not care if I can totally disable the laptop speakers all together, when in my room or soon to be dorm room it will be connected to external speakers, anyone experience this or a similar problem?

| greymalkin | damn... wrong channel. | 21:16 |
| raichlea | Slart, ok.. | 21:16 |
| Slart | raichlea: or use ntfsfix (with the usual warnings about backups and such) | 21:16 |
| Fenix|work | ikonia, alright. | 21:16 |
| thompa | i get a white screen for flash stuff now since upgrade | 21:16 |

| Fenix|work | ikonia, what about zlib .... apt-cache search zlib | grep apache returns libapache2-mod-php5 ... | 21:17 |
| tillux1 | kaiwen: we now just want to make the clients use the proxy (because it's running the filter, which we need, because we're a school ;) ) | 21:17 |
| ikonia | frybye ok - so you need to get a bootable USB stick to boot the OS, get it on the network and copy the image across | 21:17 |
| Alistair | Gnea: OK tks vm I have to go drop my girl off to school right now but will be back in 15-30 so if I miss you appreciate your help. | 21:17 |
| frybye | kaiwen: when you say "move the file" which file do you mean.. | 21:17 |

| php6th | Help, wahts the best ever FTP client for ubuntu? gnome?? | 21:18 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, what you do assign a static ip to the port that you want your clients to access to | 21:18 |
| Miyavix31 | So no one knows how to help me? | 21:18 |
| ikonia | !patience | Miyavix31 | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Miyavix31: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:18 |
| raichlea | Slart, kaiwen: installed, now what? | 21:18 |
| cbk486 | !ftp | 21:18 |

| Miyavix31 | Ok fine | 21:19 |
| Slart | Miyavix31: what's the problem | 21:19 |
| Miyavix31 | I'm currently hogging someone's computer | 21:19 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, then prob. have your proxy connect through it's other port to the windows server which is using dhcp | 21:19 |
| Miyavix31 | nd they want on | 21:19 |
| thingfish2 | is there a separate channel for 64-bit ubuntu? | 21:19 |
| Miyavix31 | Well, I need to get my desktop back | 21:19 |
| Slart | raichlea: open a terminal, run "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX" | 21:19 |
| frybye | ikonia: If I knew how to do all that stuff - I would also know how to use the konsole and comand line procedurs to do a backup without acronis.. hmmm forget it - too late here now.. time for relax - another day and another battle... | 21:19 |
| Miyavix31 | I'm using the livecd | 21:19 |
| Slart | raichlea: you'll have to change the sdXX to whatever the ntfs drive is called | 21:19 |
| kaiwen | tillux1 and the windows is connected to the internet, which I assume, you already have configured to share internet with it | 21:19 |
| Miyavix31 | and it says I'm using the newest version of ubuntu-desktop | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: boot from your machine, not the livecd | 21:19 |
| Miyavix31 | Then I can't get connection | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: your livecd is not what you want to update | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: you want to update | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: why ? what happens, is it a wirless card ? | 21:20 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, it may be easier to also install dhcp on yoru ubuntu box | 21:20 |
| Miyavix31 | Laptop is wireless, but I hook a ethernet cable to it | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: install the desktop/missing packages from the CD - but for that you need to be booted into the machine | 21:20 |
| Slart | thingfish2: I don't think so | 21:20 |
| kaiwen | tillux1, that way the clients will be assigned their own IP address. | 21:20 |
| [3][Finity] | Does anybody know a good media player with a GUI and that is able to load equalizer presets? | 21:20 |
| Slart | thingfish2: but you can ask 64 bit question's here =) | 21:20 |
| Miyavix31 | CAn you point me into the direction of a guide or something | 21:20 |
| raichlea | Slart, this is a really dumb question, but how do I figure out which sda it is? if I do an ls on /dev/sd* I see /dev/sda - /dev/sda6 | 21:20 |
| thingfish2 | thanks Slart | 21:20 |
| thingfish2 | ok cool | 21:20 |
| Miyavix31 | Because I have 1 ethernet cord | 21:21 |
| Miyavix31 | and 2 computers | 21:21 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: boot from your PC | 21:21 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: don't boot from the live cd | 21:21 |
| tillux1 | kaiwen: ermm :D I'm not quite sure what you want to say... | 21:21 |
| Miyavix31 | ok then what? | 21:21 |
| Slart | raichlea: not a dumb question.. let's see.. if you run this "cat /etc/mtab" do you see a line there with ntfs? | 21:21 |
| thingfish2 | I just discovered my box is capable of running a 64-bit o.s. so I'm installing my first one: hardy heron 64-bit. | 21:21 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: add the CD as a source to your /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:21 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: then sudo apt-get update | 21:21 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:21 |
| Miyavix31 | Hmm ok | 21:21 |
| Miyavix31 | I need internet for this so I'm gonna DC from the chat | 21:22 |
| Miyavix31 | I'll be back | 21:22 |
| Miyavix31 | But wait | 21:22 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: you don't | 21:22 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: you don't need the internet | 21:22 |
| Miyavix31 | I don't? | 21:22 |
| [3][Finity] | Does anybody know a good media player with a GUI and that is able to load equalizer presets? | 21:22 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: no - install from the CD likve I've just told you | 21:22 |

| oddalot | the host is wrong maybe? | 21:24 |

| Miyavix31 | ikonia: how do I add my CD as a source? I've been using ubuntu for like less than a week | 21:24 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: look at the sources.list file, look at the format then add the path to your cd drive | 21:24 |
| raichlea | Slart, don't have gnome part manager under admin | 21:24 |
| Miyavix31 | No, I mean... what's the command? | 21:25 |

| raichlea | Slart, worked now | 21:27 |
| Slart | raichlea: hmm.. I thought that was installed by default.. my bad | 21:27 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: although at this time you may find it easier to just re-install ubuntu | 21:27 |
| Slart | raichlea: ok.. in the top right corner is a drop down menu with all your hard drives | 21:27 |
| raichlea | Slart, I see ntfs is /dev/sda1 | 21:27 |
| Slart | raichlea: ah.. so "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1" | 21:27 |

| ikonia | spsneo: a bootable kenrnel file or an iso image | 21:31 |
| Miyavix31 | "Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 21:31 |

| spsneo | ikonia: so I guess I need iso /. | 21:31 |
| ikonia | Miyavix31: thats, fine you have no network | 21:31 |
| ikonia | spsneo: so just update grub on the vm | 21:31 |

| juro | is anyone here running Aptana Studio on Ubuntu 64 bit? | 21:32 |
| Miyavix31 | ikonia: Then what do I do? | 21:32 |
| ikonia | spsneo: ok - so your going to need to make a distro to boot from | 21:32 |
| Gnea | Alistair: yes | 21:32 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: install the ubuntu-desktop pacakge | 21:32 |

| Floi1 | kaiwen I downloaded the xp drivers but the installer doesnt' work | 21:33 |
| ikonia | Alistair: miss-tpe | 21:33 |
| kaiwen | you don't | 21:33 |
| ikonia | type | 21:33 |
| kaiwen | do that | 21:33 |
| kaiwen | Floi1, youse windows to extract the drivers | 21:33 |
| thingfish2 | so if you download the 64-bit version of hardy, and you install it, and it runs fine after installing, that means it worked? You're running 64-bit hardy? | 21:33 |
| Floi1 | can | 21:33 |
| thingfish2 | because the kernel says generic | 21:33 |
| ikonia | spsneo: what part is an issue for you? | 21:33 |
| Floi1 | can't do it with wine? | 21:33 |
| Alistair | Gnea: tks I tried that but it did say that it already had the latest version installed so I went no further than: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-via | 21:33 |
| spsneo | i did compile | 21:33 |
| Slart | thingfish2: you're still using the generic kernel.. but 64 bit | 21:33 |
| spsneo | i got that bzImage | 21:34 |
| thingfish2 | Slart: oh ok | 21:34 |
| Slart | thingfish2: and if you installed it, booted it and it works.. that means you've installed it | 21:34 |
| ikonia | spsneo: yup, so you have a kernel, what have you done to build a distro to boot | 21:34 |
| spsneo | next? | 21:34 |
| ikonia | spsneo: you need to build a whole operating system to boot | 21:34 |
| Slart | thingfish2: you can check what kernel you're using by running "uname -a" in a terminal.. | 21:34 |
| Slart | !smp | thingfish2 | 21:34 |
| ubottu | thingfish2: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 21:34 |
| thingfish2 | Slart: I did uname -r | 21:34 |
| spsneo | ikonia: so what all will I have to do now | 21:34 |
| thingfish2 | thanks Slart | 21:34 |
| Slart | thingfish2: I think that only lists the version number | 21:34 |
| ikonia | spsneo: build a distro to boot, and make it into an iso image | 21:35 |
| spsneo | any guide on net? | 21:35 |
| guntbert | thingfish2: use uname -m | 21:35 |

| _Zeus_ | nothing | 21:45 |
| ikonia | biped: depends if you want the data from it | 21:45 |
| _Zeus_ | well i take that back | 21:45 |
| Alistair | Gnea: you obviously have a lot of clues in Linux. This Video thing comes through as a common problem on the forum - not just for my system but for others too. Ubuntu is so far ahead of other o/s IMHO its a pity that graphics compatibility lets it down. | 21:45 |
| _Zeus_ | biped: when you're installing ubuntu, use the "manual partitioning" feature | 21:46 |
| biped | ikonia I do want to keep the data | 21:46 |
| ikonia | biped: then let ubuntu use that partition for /home | 21:46 |
| biped | i see | 21:46 |
| burhan | biped: tell it not to format it. | 21:46 |
| _Zeus_ | biped: then, edit the current /home and uncheck "format" and for mount point say "/home" | 21:46 |

For example ("sudo mv * /home/user1/ exclude examplefolder1, examplefolder2, examplefolder3) | 21:46 |

| bastid_raZor | biped; i've done that exact thing in the past.. ideally the way to do it is..in the live cd mount the /home partition and rename your user to ex. user.old then install that way.. move or copy files from the user.old to the user that the install created. | 21:49 |

| _Zeus_ | why are they all on different folders?? | 22:03 |
| _Zeus_ | *partitions | 22:03 |
| biped | ok, and /boot too, i reckon | 22:03 |
| _Zeus_ | why? | 22:03 |
| _Zeus_ | usually you have 2: / and /home | 22:03 |
| _Zeus_ | did you configure it to use all those different ones? | 22:03 |
| burhan | Nutzebahn: anjuta | 22:03 |
| Gnea | _Zeus_: it's not uncommon to have / /var /usr /home /tmp /boot | 22:03 |

| _Zeus_ | ? | 22:05 |
| _Zeus_ | Gnea: should he format all except /home? | 22:05 |

| sriramoman | Nutzebahn: eric | 22:05 |
| _Zeus_ | ok biped so you should format all but /home | 22:05 |
| _Zeus_ | or else i don't think your install will work | 22:06 |
| pisse | burhan: marked with "re-install" in synaptic | 22:06 |
| _Zeus_ | likely it will force you to format /var /usr /boot, etc | 22:06 |

| biped | cool. so, once again just to be on the safe side: if I assign /home to the former /home partition and DON't format it, ubuntu will recognise that and the users will be there in the new installation? | 22:07 |

| biped | ummm... | 22:07 |
| _Zeus_ | burhan: elaborate please? | 22:07 |
| burhan | biped: just because its not formatting it, it will not recreate all the users. | 22:07 |

| Alistair | Gnea: tks I am just doing a mesa attempt with sriramoman | 22:07 |
| Gnea | Alistair: kewl | 22:07 |
| biped | so burhan what is your suggestion? | 22:07 |
| sriramoman | Nutzebahn: best way would be to use kwrite itself, as it has all features like syntax hilighting and more, just that you would have to use commandline to compile/build ur programs. thats where kdevelop will help u out. | 22:08 |
| Alistair | kewl? | 22:08 |
| pisse | burhan: http://pastebin.com/m55a63752 | 22:08 |
| Alistair | cool? | 22:08 |
| burhan | biped: so if you had four users in /home, (ie, /home/fred, /home/joe, /home/ed) you will not have four new users in the new system -- it just won't format the partition. The files will be there, but you won't be able to login as any of those users. | 22:08 |

| rubinboy | burhan: does find only work with file names | 22:24 |
| Alistair | Pirate_Hunter: :-) | 22:24 |
| blackbinary | burhan, its on topic :) | 22:24 |

| burhan | pisse: you need to be root when you run that command. | 22:25 |
| Alistair | sriramoman: what do you recommend for a chat client? | 22:26 |
| jamie25 | i checked user/bin, i still cannot find the executable for it googleearth. Synaptic Package manager says i have it installed but it is not in any of my applications | 22:26 |
| burhan | rubinboy: you can tell it to find only files, or only directories, it will by default search both (a directory is just a file in linux) | 22:26 |
| pisse | burhan: lol.. sry.. noobish of me.. | 22:26 |
| burhan | pisse: put sudo before that command. | 22:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Alistair: the most basic and best is xchat otherwise you could get irssi if youre up for the challenge | 22:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Alistair: however the best is what you believe is good for you | 22:27 |
| rubinboy | burhan: you gave him the grep command, i was asking why not the find command | 22:27 |
| Alistair | sriramoman: sri I meant IRC client? | 22:27 |
| pisse | burhan: yeah I know :P but what's supposed to happen? after displaying version nothing happens.. | 22:27 |
| sriramoman | Alistair: anything that you've used for the first time. | 22:27 |
| burhan | rubinboy: because find doesn't search IN files. | 22:27 |
| juro | I have Ubuntu64 but want to run one (1!) program using the 32bit Java, is this possible to build a starter script for this? | 22:27 |
| rubinboy | burhan: that was my question thanks | 22:28 |
| Alistair | Xchat it is then tks I'm using chatzilla here. | 22:28 |
| burhan | pisse: what is on your screen now? | 22:28 |
| burhan | pisse: mysql> <-- this? | 22:28 |
| pisse | burhan: nope | 22:28 |
| burhan | pisse: if nothing happened, that's good. | 22:28 |
| blackbinary | does anyone know where the crash logs are stored... i know the directory but I need a specific one, it seems my computer freezes either due to sound problems or graphics problems, and normal logs don't report anything :( | 22:29 |
| burhan | pisse: open another terminal. | 22:29 |
| burhan | pisse: and type mysql -u root | 22:29 |
| pisse | burhan: kk | 22:29 |
| blackbinary | pisse: I believe thats spelled with a Y at the end, not E. :P | 22:29 |
| burhan | pisse: you should get mysql> prompt | 22:29 |

| burhan | blackbinary: when you restart, does the crash detect applet start? | 22:30 |
| burhan | zChris: drives? or drivers? | 22:30 |
| blackbinary | burhan, I am not sure. | 22:30 |

| pisse | burhan: yeah now I'm in mysql promt, so I'll continue with the how to | 22:30 |
| zChris | burhan: for example if i use vesa instead of nvidia etc | 22:30 |
| burhan | pisse: don't forget your password this time :) | 22:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | blackbinary: Check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages | 22:30 |
| marcelo | jamie25: try ls /usr/bin/*earth* | 22:30 |
| === ferish is now known as fC | ||
| blackbinary | Pirate_Hunter those were the logs I were refering to that did not give anything useful :/ | 22:31 |

| burhan | zChris: you can check the log to see what it is using. | 22:31 |
| burhan | el: whatever language that is you are messaging me with, I don't speak it. Please don't message people without asking first. | 22:31 |
| zChris | burhan: okey , so there are no like.. lsmod or something for x ? | 22:32 |
| alistair_ | sriramoman: cant see you in the users on xchat? | 22:32 |
| pisse | burhan: http://pastebin.com/m34fddd2d | 22:32 |
| blackbinary | Pirate_Hunter, my mistake. /messages doesnt, but didnt try syslog. | 22:32 |
| burhan | zChris: lsmod is system wide. | 22:33 |
| blackbinary | Pirate_Hunter, think i've found the culprit: Aug 14 16:53:56 blackbinary-desktop kernel: [ 2109.164863] compiz.real[6416]: segfault at 7fff94f6a088 rip 7fff94f6a088 rsp 7fff9d0f87e0 error 14 | 22:33 |
| biped | sorry, guntbert, i missed that one. i will backup them on a cfcard, as usb-hd doesn't work anymore | 22:33 |
| pisse | burhan: the how-to says "In Dapper, /usr/bin/mysgld... did not work. However, mysqld --skip-grant-tables did." should I try it the other way? | 22:33 |
| jamie25 | Marcelo: I am getting no such file or directory | 22:33 |

| burhan | pisse: no, try this: use mysql; update user set Password = PASSWORD('yournewsimplepass') where Host = 'localhost' and User = 'root'; | 22:35 |
| mutilator | does the ubuntu irc client force you to join this channel or something? | 22:35 |
| marcelo | jamie25: it almost certainly means you have not installed it. Try to download it from the google web site and install from command line, i have already done that. | 22:35 |
| zerofactor | i'm having problems with my network card in ubuntu | 22:35 |
| jpds | mutilator: Don't believe so. | 22:35 |
| blackbinary | Pirate_Hunter, hard to do so, as it freezes rather randomly, sometimes in 10 minutes, other in 35. | 22:35 |
| blackbinary | mutilator, does it by default, you can stop that somewhere. | 22:35 |
| jamie25 | I will give that a shot. Thanks | 22:35 |
| mutilator | k | 22:36 |
| marcelo | jamie25, you have to put a "/" in front of like /usr/bin. | 22:36 |
| mutilator | wondered why this chan has so many ppl | 22:36 |
| mutilator | and its relatively dead | 22:36 |
| pisse | burhan: hehe.. "No database selected" | 22:36 |
| Gnea | mutilator: most people just idle and help/ask for help when they feel like it | 22:36 |
| burhan | pisse: did you type 'use mysql;' first? | 22:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | blackbinary: start in safemode or just x and stop it from starting at boot, i do not know the file that needs editing so you might have to ask someone that actually uses composite | 22:37 |
| pisse | burhan: oh.. nope.. my bad :S | 22:37 |
| blackbinary | Pirate_Hunter, for now I just switched to metacity, and asked on compiz-fusion channel | 22:37 |
| dmartinezc | http://pastebin.com/m35e958c6 i have that ploblem with vlc, any idea??? | 22:37 |
| pisse | burhan: no rows matched | 22:37 |
| TeslaTony | mutilator: Some people idle on here for days, only to come out when someone asks "Why does this channel have so many people on it?" | 22:38 |
| burhan | pisse: select User from user where Host = 'localhost'; | 22:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | blackbinary: well that also works XD | 22:38 |
| Alistair | alistair_: this is a test | 22:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | TeslaTony: lol is all i gotta say to that | 22:39 |
| pisse | burhan: hehe.. like I suspected.. only user is "pisse" :P so I must have deleted the other users | 22:39 |

| jamie25 | Marcel: Ok so i downloaded googleearthlinux.bin from the google website, how do I install it from the command line? Im sorry Im a newbie at ubuntu :) | 22:40 |
| Gnea | Pirate_Hunter: you don't consider me to be a guru? | 22:40 |
| burhan | pisse: you need to recreate your user tables; or just adjust the permissions for pisse so that its the root user; whatever you want. I suggest you recreate your grant tables. | 22:41 |
| Gnea | anyway, i digress | 22:41 |
| butcherboys | can someone help me with a dual boot (windows/ubuntu) issue? | 22:41 |
| acrousey | i'm having difficulties locating my new hard drive. My primary drive is a 40GB IDE drive that came with the computer. The new drive is a 750GB SATA drive hooked up through a PCI card. I know that it works because when i was booting up the machine right after I installed it, I was getting a message that said that the machine couldn't find the operating system on the hard drive. So I went into the BIOS and made the IDE drive my primary drive. But | 22:41 |

| guntbert | burhan: what about if pisse does purge mysql now, that should work when it is installed, and reinstalls then? | 22:41 |
| marcelo | Jamie25: Open a terminal and try ./"name of the file" | 22:41 |
| butcherboys | ty | 22:41 |
| astra-x | so i need to mount a read only of ufs drive in ubuntu | 22:41 |
| astra-x | yet i get a bad magic block | 22:42 |
| awmcclain | Where is the list of actual .deb files installed kept? | 22:42 |
| marcelo | jamie: but do it with sudo | 22:42 |
| burhan | guntbert: it should; but I don't think it will since he apparently had mysql installed from another source as well. | 22:42 |
| marcelo | jamie25: but do it with sudo | 22:42 |
| guntbert | burhan: sorry, I missed that | 22:43 |
| burhan | pisse: try sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server && sudo apt-get install mysql-server -- then see if that helps you out. | 22:43 |
| burhan | pisse: if that doesn't, then you need to recreate your system tables to get a root user. | 22:43 |
| TeslaTony | jamie25: If you can't get the downloaded file to install, type "sudo apt-get install googleearth" into the command line | 22:44 |
| burhan | acrousey: install gparted and see if your drive shows up in it. | 22:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gnea: cause youre a guru (>^_^)><(^.^<) | 22:44 |
| acrousey | burhan: apt-get install gparted? | 22:44 |

| burhan | acrousey: yeap. | 22:44 |
| alistair_ | Guys I have installed xchat but there is no /home/user/.xchat2/sounds any suggestions? | 22:44 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Gnea: i was being friendly | 22:45 |
| Dazed | does anybody use the xfire plugin for pidgin? | 22:45 |
| Valect | echo > /home/`whoami`/.xchat2/sounds | 22:45 |
| atlef | jamie25: it would be batter to activate the medibuntu repository and install it from there in synaptic | 22:45 |
| butcherboys | ok, that link really didn't have an answer for my particular issue. i've got everything setup and i can boot to linux but my windows doesn't show on boot up | 22:45 |
| burhan | Valect: uh, that won't do much. | 22:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: once you downlaoded it and run it for the first time the files get created, what are you trying to do to xchat? | 22:45 |
| Valect | it'll create the file | 22:45 |
| Nixk490 | hi | 22:45 |
| Valect | :x | 22:45 |
| Nixk490 | can i get some help | 22:46 |
| burhan | Valect: perhaps you meant touch /home/$USER/.xchat2/sounds | 22:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dazed: FF plugin for pidgin, whats that about? | 22:46 |
| Valect | touch is so dirty | 22:46 |
| wng- | butcherboys: do you mean it doesn't boot up, or it isn't in grub.conf? | 22:46 |
| Dazed | i said xfire plugin | 22:46 |
| acrousey | burhan: how can i use gparted once i have it? | 22:46 |
| georgy_28 | !ask > Nixk490 | 22:46 |
| TeslaTony | !ask | Nixk490 | 22:46 |
| ubottu | Nixk490, please see my private message | 22:46 |
| ubottu | Nixk490: 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. :-) | 22:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | butcherboys: you mean grub doesnt see your windows operating system? | 22:46 |
| burhan | acrousey: run it from the menu, and see if your new disk is detected; you probably need to create a partition in it. | 22:47 |
| atlef | !medibuntu > jamie25: | 22:47 |
| Nixk490 | hey i need help with my rage 128 pro video card | 22:47 |
| Dazed | the xfire plugin for pidgin is giving me this annoying error msg everytime it starts, can anybody help | 22:47 |
| butcherboys | wng: it isn't in the grub.conf. i think i installed the grub on my primary drive where my windows is | 22:47 |
| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter: it has no sounds so I went to preferences and there are no sounds in there, or the directory BTW how do I get to address to each chat member without having to type username each time pse? | 22:47 |
| Nixk490 | i cant find any linux drivers for it | 22:47 |
| pisse | burhan: ok.. I don't know if it helped.. how do I check? :] | 22:47 |
| alistair_ | username: | 22:47 |
| dmoerner | Nixk490 i think there is an article in tutorials & tips on the forums about that | 22:47 |
| acrousey | partition editor? | 22:47 |
| burhan | pisse: did it ask you to set a mysql root password? | 22:47 |
| Nixk490 | ive read it | 22:47 |
| Nixk490 | but nothing.... | 22:48 |
| Nixk490 | ive tryed ever rage driver | 22:48 |
| guntbert | alistair_: begin typing, then <TAB> | 22:48 |
| Nixk490 | but nothing | 22:48 |
| atlef | Nixk490: have you tried envyng | 22:48 |
| pisse | burhan: nope | 22:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: dont excatly knwo what youre saying but with you want to quickly type usernames just type parts of it than press tab for it to autocompelete the username "most of the times it gets it right", if you wish to talk to the same person again without typing their name just press the up arrow key "that also shows your previous posts" | 22:49 |
| butcherboys | wng: windows is on my first drive (master) and ubuntu is on a second HDD (slave) and it will only let me boot to linux. windows isn't even an option | 22:49 |
| Nixk490 | ive tryed every driver with rage in its name | 22:49 |
| burhan | pisse: then you need to recreate the tables from scratch. | 22:49 |
| burhan | pisse: shutdown the mysql server. | 22:49 |
| burhan | delete /var/lib/mysql | 22:49 |
| atlef | !envyng | 22:49 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 22:49 |
| burhan | burhan: then sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server | 22:49 |
| atlef | !envyng > Nixk490: | 22:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | butcherboys: you need to reinstall grub again | 22:50 |
| Nixk490 | ? | 22:50 |
| filthpig | Hi, I'm having a really odd wlan problem. I'm running gutsy on both my laptop and my desktop, and I have an unsecured wireless network (yeah I know, but the router won't work if I try enabling wep/wpa). Anyhoo, My laptop, which I'm using right now, finds the network among a few others and connects easily. The desktop, however, does not detect my network, but it DOES detect the networks of my neighbors. Those networks are encrypted, however. | 22:50 |
| filthpig | I've tried setting essid manually (which did work at first, but suddenly didn't anymore), and I've tried with two different USB wireless adapters which are both reported to work out of the box in gutsy. I'm at a loss as to what's wrong since I can detect every other network available but my own :s | 22:50 |
| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter, excellent tks. re sound I went to preferences in xchat and there are no sound files there | 22:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !grub | butcherboys | 22:50 |

| burhan | pisse: then sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server | 22:50 |
| butcherboys | ok, i'll give that a shot. is it a problem if i had installed it on my windows mbr? | 22:50 |
| butcherboys | i installed ubuntu after windows | 22:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: what are you trying to do with sound, sorry I dont get it so please explain from the begining? | 22:50 |
| === fmartin is now known as JohnyWanker | ||
| Nixk490 | so can you help me? | 22:51 |
| pisse | burhan: ok.. I'm supposed to get the root-password window now? | 22:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | butcherboys: no it is not a problem to install it to the mbr i "myself" prefer installing grub to the mbr | 22:51 |
| acrousey | when partitioning a drive, which should i use if i want to be able to access it with Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac? | 22:51 |
| burhan | pisse: hopefully | 22:51 |
| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter, on chatzilla when I am paged eg you post me a message there is a notify sound with xchat there are no sounds and no .xchat sounds directory | 22:51 |
| pisse | burhan: well, I didn't.. =/ | 22:51 |
| burhan | acrousey: fat32 | 22:51 |
| butcherboys | Pirate_Hunter: thanks. i'm going to try and fix it now | 22:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pisse: there si no such thing as root pasw, it works with sudo | 22:51 |
| burhan | pisse: hrmm...did you delete the /var/lib/mysql directory? | 22:52 |
| Valect | there is to a root password | 22:52 |
| Valect | it just happens to be random | 22:52 |
| acrousey | burhan: I'm not getting that option | 22:52 |
| pisse | burhan: did you tell me to? :] | 22:52 |
| Valect | you can adjust that with sudo passwd root | 22:52 |
| jamie25 | Ok so i tried both commands sudo ./googleearthlinux.bin -> command not found I also tried sudo apt-get install googleearthlinux.bin -> and I got E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock (11 resources tempraily unavailable) | 22:52 |
| burhan | pisse: yes. | 22:52 |
| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter, eg /home/alistair/.xchat2/sounds there is no such directory | 22:52 |
| * butcherboys thanks everyone who helped. gonna go try and fix issue | 22:52 | |
| root | hi, if i want to find out which sda my ubuntu is on, how do i do this? | 22:53 |
| pisse | burhan: yeah you did.. wasn't highlighted though | 22:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: there is go /home/urname and do ctrl+h to show hidden files they start with .filename/.foldername its there | 22:53 |
| Valect | root: type mount | 22:53 |
| === root is now known as Guest7671 | ||
| bastid_raZor | acrousey; probably ntfs | 22:53 |
| burhan | pisse: again, stop mysql server, uninstall it ( sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server ), remove the /var/lib/mysql directory, then install mysql server sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 22:53 |
| paolo | Hi everybody!!! | 22:53 |
| Valect | also, don't irc as root | 22:53 |
| Valect | fail | 22:53 |
| bastid_raZor | acrousey; but i jumped in late.. what is the partition going to be used for? | 22:53 |
| acrousey | bastic_razor: i want to be able to access it from windows and mac | 22:54 |
| B3z3rk3r | hey all | 22:54 |
| Nixk490 | Can someone give me support on a video card problem? | 22:54 |
| burhan | acrousey: what do you mean you are not getting that option? | 22:54 |
| marcelo | jamie25: do you have the root password? | 22:54 |
| bastid_raZor | acrousey; what is going to be on the partition? ubuntu? just files? | 22:54 |
| acrousey | files, but on the ubuntu computer | 22:54 |
| B3z3rk3r | Nixk490: what kinda card do u have? | 22:54 |
| Nixk490 | rage 128 \pro | 22:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: if you want sound on alert when ppl talk to you than in xchat it is settings>pref>chatting>sound choose which sound you want and the sound file you dont have to go to the .xchat folder | 22:55 |
| pisse | burhan: no password-sign... | 22:55 |
| Nixk490 | no \ lol typo | 22:55 |
| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter, true - I did not know that :-( but there is no sounds directory | 22:55 |
| bastid_raZor | acrousey; sadly windows is the only thing that is holding you back from using anything better than fat32.. like burhan said. | 22:55 |
| jamie25 | Marcelo: Is the root password the same as my adminstative password? The one I use to log into linux? | 22:55 |

| rick-u64 | Hi all. Quick question; Is it generally safe to run an insecure guest OS inside virtualbox on ubuntu? I am running Ubuntu Hardy 64 bit, and have XP Pro installed in virtualbox. I just want to know if I can skip having to install all the security apps in XP since I'm already secure in the host OS. | 22:55 |
| B3z3rk3r | i gathered... :)? | 22:55 |
| pisse | burhan: http://pastebin.com/m61043053 | 22:55 |
| Nixk490 | ok | 22:55 |
| jamie25 | Marcelo: If so that is that same password I used | 22:55 |
| atlef | rick-u64: it's ok | 22:56 |
| burhan | pisse: pastebin apt-cache policy mysql-server | 22:56 |
| B3z3rk3r | Nixk490: whats the prob with it then? | 22:56 |
| bastid_raZor | acrousey; i don't think you can use fat32 for a installation of ubuntu though. | 22:56 |
| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter, anyway its no big deal - xchat is superior to chatzilla imho | 22:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: just looking at my sound options in xchat it shows there is a sound directory but there is no sound cause i havent set sound which makes sense | 22:56 |
| burhan | rick-u64: sure. | 22:56 |
| atlef | rick-u64: you can only destroy your virtual machine, i think | 22:56 |
| pisse | burhan: http://pastebin.com/m15486b43 | 22:57 |
| marcelo | jamie25: do this: sudo passwd root. | 22:57 |
| Nixk490 | i can't find drivers for it, there are other rage drivers though, but not for the pro edition, i tryed them but ubuntu crashes | 22:57 |
| === Ferish is now known as FoLi | ||
| rick-u64 | atlef: cool. one more question if you don't mind; how would I go about saving files to the host OS from the guest OS? I want to run flash 8 pro in XP and save my projects' swf files and stuff on the host so I can use them. | 22:57 |

| alistair_ | Pirate_Hunter, guess you have to get your own sounds and put them into the directory or use system sounds | 22:57 |
| wam | chalcedony: you there? | 22:57 |
| burhan | pisse: login with your normal user. | 22:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | alistair_: it is true nautilus shows no sound directory but inside .xchat2 their is a sound.conf which is empty that explains where xchat might write/save your sound config | 22:58 |
| jamie25 | ok thats done | 22:58 |

| filthpig | on closer investigation, it seems like ubuntu loads both rt73usb and rt2x00usb when connecting an adapter. The adapter is a D-link GWL-122 hw. ver. C1, fw. ver. 3.10. The box even claims "Linux Support" on the front.. | 22:58 |

| seekingtruth | <Valect> seekingtruth you'd be wasting time <-- why? | 23:05 |

| burhan | Jimmie23: are you looking for an excuse to not install it? | 23:19 |
| seekingtruth | i can get amsn working and im happy to help anyone else get it working | 23:19 |
| komies | that's just one of the weird things. lots of times I end up with my sound control or terminal freezing up. | 23:19 |
| * Pirate_Hunter wheer are the ops to start kicking the attitude here is becoming annoying now | 23:19 | |
| komies | but right now I'm trying to figure out why the line breaks are acting weird :) | 23:19 |
| Slart | Jimmie23: try just running the live cd first.. see if wifi/sound etc works | 23:19 |
| some_person | Slart: yes | 23:19 |
| terrestre | karlaj, the amsn from add/remove program have a bug right now | 23:19 |
| Slart | some_person: hmm.. that's usually what kills a computer when the screensaver kicks in.. something shiny that uses all kinds of 3d stuff. | 23:19 |

| Slart | some_person: check the file /var/log/syslog.. new events are added to the end of the file | 23:20 |
| burhan | Jimmie23: Fedora 9 is more up to date than Hardy when it comes to networking (especially wifi and gsm networks). That's about all I can say. Beyond that, all mainstream distros are the same. | 23:20 |

| burhan | Jimmie23: you can check the LaptopTestingTeam pages for your particular laptop model (or one that matches it) to see if others have tested ubuntu on it. You can also just run the livecd as slart mentioned to check compatibility. Video and wifi are two pain points for laptop users. | 23:21 |

| komies | the line-spacing issue | 23:23 |
| komies | it's skewing windows and things too :/ | 23:23 |
| burhan | komies: I never caught the original problem. Is this the font issue? | 23:23 |
| jamie25 | The file that was downloaded was GoogleEarthLinux.bin with G, E & L capitolized. | 23:23 |
| komies | right | 23:23 |
| jamie25 | I could rename it right? | 23:23 |
| dmoerner | jamie25, if you need to. | 23:23 |
| komies | with the fonts changing, and my lots of websites and java based programs all having double the spaces usual | 23:23 |
| Slart | jamie25: then you'll have to spell it the same when you run it.. or use <tab> for auto completion | 23:23 |

| Slart | Shadowkllr: hmm.. I'm not sure at this but I don't think you're supposed to do it like that | 23:28 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth no? | 23:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | some_person: you could always go to System>admi>system logs and see if you can find anything | 23:28 |
| JERONYMO | natural | 23:28 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth the problem is that everyone is talking in ventrilo.. | 23:28 |
| burhan | some_person: I believe it shows you what its going to send to the bug system. | 23:29 |
| seekingtruth | Kvasten^: Skype on Ubuntu workls great and very popular. I use it to talk to people around the woprld, using microphon and webcam | 23:29 |
| Slart | Shadowkllr: iirc you're supposed to make a symlink ni that /var/www folder.. or create a new config file for each site.. | 23:29 |
| jamie25 | Still no such file or directory... | 23:29 |
| seekingtruth | Kvasten^: ok. i didnt know that. because I thought "everyone" is talking in Skype | 23:29 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth you dont mind to try ventrilo ? | 23:29 |
| Shadowkllr | slart:I read about that, but i'm not quite sure I understand | 23:29 |
| burhan | Shadowkllr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Virtual%20Hosts | 23:29 |
| seekingtruth | Kvasten^: is it like skype? | 23:29 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth ehm, not really. but very simpel.. | 23:30 |
| Shadowkllr | ty burhan, i'll read it real quick and let you know, brb | 23:30 |
| some_person | so yeah, what does the crash reporter call it's log? | 23:30 |
| primistry | So how's alpha 4? | 23:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | seekingtruth: your conversation with Kvasten^ is starting to go offtopic | 23:30 |
| Slart | Shadowkllr: in /etc/apache2 there is a folder called "sites-enabled", right? | 23:30 |
| burhan | some_person: it works by sending crash information to launchpad, it doesn't actually store it iirc. | 23:30 |
| Shadowkllr | yes | 23:30 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth do you know whar team speak is? | 23:30 |
| Slart | Shadowkllr: are there any files in there? | 23:30 |
| DistroJockey | jamie25, try this: chmod +x earth.bin ; ./earth.bin | 23:30 |
| seekingtruth | Pirate_Hunter: isnt ventrilo an ubuntu application? | 23:31 |
| Shadowkllr | hang on, vnc crapped out on me, gotta remote back into it | 23:31 |
| Slart | Shadowkllr: no worries | 23:31 |
| seekingtruth | Kvasten^: is that like conference calling? | 23:31 |
| burhan | DistroJockey: sh earth.bin is probably better. | 23:31 |
| seekingtruth | !ventrilo | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ventrilo | 23:31 |
| Shadowkllr | yeah, default.conf, that's the file i was trying to edit | 23:31 |
| DistroJockey | burhan, it's a bin not a sh file though | 23:31 |
| some_person | burhan: I see. so how do I find the report on launchpad? | 23:31 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth what do you mean? im not very good at english.. | 23:31 |
| tochiquits | Hi, need help with synCE for AT&T tilt. I followed the documentation but it doesn't seem to recognize the phone | 23:31 |
| burhan | DistroJockey: extensions are really meaningless in linux :) | 23:31 |
| marcelo | jamie25: are you sure you are in the same diretory as the file? You have said the file is in your Desktop so it is in /home/"your login name"/Desktop/earth.bin. | 23:31 |
| Slart | Shadowkllr: ok.. you couldn't edit it? | 23:31 |
| DistroJockey | burhan, yeah, but it's still a bin file I believe | 23:32 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth what kind of webcam do you got? | 23:32 |
| burhan | Shadowkllr: just read the wiki link, it explains about sites-enabled and sites-available | 23:32 |
| burhan | DistroJockey: you run most bin files using sh | 23:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | seekingtruth: you were not helping him with ventrilo and are you sure about that? | 23:32 |
| marcelo | jamie25: use pwd to see where you are. | 23:33 |
| Slart | Shadowkllr: ah.. there is a wiki.. I'd recommend reading that then.. I don't quite trust my memory on this | 23:33 |
| jeremy_c_ | How do I install the dev libs for common X development? | 23:33 |
| bastid_raZor | DistroJockey; does the file have execute permissions and do you have the permissions to excute it? | 23:33 |
| jeremy_c_ | well, not development on X, but development of GUI applications that require the X dev libs. | 23:33 |
| seekingtruth | Kvasten^: inbuilt into my HP laptop | 23:33 |
| Shadowkllr | haha ok bur, im just answering his questions tho, lol.......slart, it's telling me that the file is either to big to write to disk or that the file is write protected | 23:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | seekingtruth: just did a quick search and ventrillo/ventrilo is not found | 23:33 |
| burhan | jeremy_c_: libx11-dev | 23:33 |
| Shadowkllr | i was thinking the latter, so i killed the apache process, but still no avail | 23:33 |
| DistroJockey | bastid_raZor, well I did tell jamie25 to chmod +x | 23:33 |
| Shadowkllr | brb reading wiki | 23:34 |
| seekingtruth | Pirate_Hunter: yeah I thought it was in ubuntu repos, but its not, you are right | 23:34 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth okej. mine is in a logitech webcam :/ | 23:34 |
| jeremy_c_ | burhan: thank you | 23:34 |

| jamie25 | I'm in home/jamie | 23:34 |
| sniff | hello, i have this problem: i added a pci sata2 controller and to make that work i had to change some pci cards places, after that i started to have hard lockups with usb storage activity. i booted with acpi=off and the system is now stable, but i can't use cpufreq. i have amd powernowk8 normally active but now of course it can't find an acpi resource..any kernel parameters to make cpufreq work but acpi otherwise disabled? | 23:34 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth i googled it. it was ubuntu supported | 23:34 |
| burhan | jamie25: sh ~/Desktop/earth.bin | 23:35 |
| marcelo | jamie25: run cd Desktop | 23:35 |
| seekingtruth | Kvasten^: they took it out of repos? | 23:35 |
| Kvasten^ | seekingtruth huh? what? | 23:35 |
| burhan | sniff: I believe cpufreq requires acpi | 23:36 |
| seekingtruth | anyone successfuly got TrueCrypt to encrypt their HDD on Hardy? | 23:37 |

| jamie25 | Marcel: ok now i am in the desktop | 23:37 |
| jamie25 | do I try ./earth.bin? | 23:38 |
| marcelo | jamie25: try ./earth.bin | 23:38 |
| bastid_raZor | jamie25; if that fails do ls -al earth.bin and what does that give? | 23:38 |
| ERIC_H_laptop | anyone know where the initial xubuntu wallpaper during install is located on the CD? | 23:38 |
| sniff | burhan: what about kernel parameters to stabilize usb under heavy load? or perhaps its pci that needs stabilizing? | 23:38 |
| dmoerner | ERIC_H_laptop, /usr/share/wallpapers maybe? | 23:39 |
| sniff | i've had instability problems with usb storage before with a different machine and 2.4 kernel i think, but now they've mysteriously re-appeared | 23:39 |
| burhan | sniff: I'm not sure as I have never done such a thing (I don't use desktops). I would start by checked dmesg for clues. | 23:39 |
| sniff | burhan: yup, thanks anyways :) | 23:41 |
| zorn | hi, how do I get automouter to mount usb drives to the same mount points? | 23:41 |

| perillux | I messed up my Compiz. A while back I was messing with it and then I suddently couldn't click any buttons, whenever I clicked a window it would be like I activated the keyboard shortcut to move windows around. Anyway, I couldn't get into the settings because I couldn't press buttons. Now when I activate compiz and I get the little message "use previous settings" or "keep new settings", I can't click either button. Is there a way to r | 23:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Muff_Divr: why are you using 8.01 "what is 8.01", got this from google by typing (ubuntu vpn windows) its for gutsy but should still be valid http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html | 23:47 |
| burhan | perillux: use tab to select, and hit the spacebar to 'click' on a button. | 23:48 |
| Gnea | Pirate_Hunter: yeah, it was one of those "but they left!!!" kinda things | 23:48 |
| Shadowkllr | bur | 23:48 |
| Shadowkllr | ur a bloody genius | 23:48 |
| Shadowkllr | it worked | 23:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gnea: hate when they do that :/ | 23:48 |
| perillux | burhan: I can select one of the buttons I know, but I'm woried that I won't be able to get into the menu to make changes to fix it, or even to be able to dissable compiz again once I turn it on. | 23:49 |
| Gnea | perillux: system->preferences->appearance->visual effects->none | 23:49 |
| tgillespie | hi all, is there a deb for kernel 2.6.25 for hardy? | 23:49 |
| === ThePlaneskeeper_ is now known as ThePlaneskeeper | ||
| burhan | tgillespie: if there is, you'll get a notifcation to upgrade. | 23:49 |
| Gnea | tgillespie: what burhan said | 23:49 |
| === root is now known as Guest94614 | ||
| perillux | Gnea: that's what I'm using right now. But I want to be able to use compiz again. I'm really sure the problem is that I simply set the keybinding for moving windows to "mouse click" so now when I click things it just moves the window | 23:50 |
| tgillespie | burhan i meant a non standard one | 23:50 |
| tgillespie | burhan i would compile but its on a slow computer, and i just cba waiting lol | 23:50 |
| Gnea | !compiz | perillux | 23:50 |
| ubottu | perillux: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 23:50 |
| burhan | tgillespie: I'm sure you could commandeer one from the internet, but I doubt it would work properly. | 23:50 |
| perillux | Gnea: so all I really need to do is reset the keybindings | 23:50 |
| tgillespie | burhan :( i need my wireless support | 23:50 |
| burhan | tgillespie: unless someone has already done the compiling and has created the deb especially for hardy. | 23:51 |
| Gnea | perillux: right. check in #compiz-fusion | 23:51 |
| perillux | Gnea: but I have to either do it withough activating compiz first. OR I have to do it without a mouse | 23:51 |
| tgillespie | guess its back to ndiswrapper then..... | 23:51 |
| Gnea | .... | 23:51 |
| perillux | Gnea: ok I'll go there now | 23:51 |
| dlemcoe | Hey hey. How can I delete all of my GPG keys at once and start clean? | 23:51 |
| burhan | perillux: compiz stores it settings in gconf, so you can use the gconf editor to 'hack' at the settings, at least that's how it used to be back in the days. | 23:51 |
| bastid_raZor | tgillespie; there is several kernels available.. but the possibility if you breakings things are great.. | 23:52 |
| dmoerner | dleija, you need to create revocation certificates for all of them and export those to the keyservers | 23:52 |
| dmoerner | to remove gpg keys from your system just remove ~/.gnupg | 23:52 |
| tgillespie | bastid_raZor i can always leave the old kernel there to boot cant i? | 23:52 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | Question for people who may or may not know: I am thinking of installing a Ubuntu LAMP webserver onto a 1 GB Flash Drive, with the /www/ Dir mapped to another HDD, should this be sufficient or do you think i will need a 2GB | 23:52 |
| burhan | tgillespie: it would be foolish not to. | 23:52 |
| dlemcoe | hmm | 23:52 |
| dmoerner | ThePlaneskeeper, do you want X? | 23:52 |
| burhan | ThePlaneskeeper: you should not run a webserver from a pen drive. | 23:53 |
| bastid_raZor | tgillespie; i had the link that listed all the kernels but i seem to have misplaced it.. let me dig around | 23:53 |
| Gnea | !lamp | ThePlaneskeeper | 23:53 |
| ubottu | ThePlaneskeeper: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:53 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | dmoerner: no i do not want X | 23:53 |
| dlemcoe | hmmm. Wherer is the folder? | 23:53 |
| dlemcoe | Where | 23:53 |
| burhan | ThePlaneskeeper: you will soon run out of space in /tmp and /var with only 1 GB of space. | 23:53 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | burhan: what will it store in tmp and var? | 23:54 |
| dlemcoe | Where is the folder gnupg located? | 23:54 |
| kevin_123 | anyone using ubuntu on an old laptop/desktop? | 23:54 |
| burhan | ThePlaneskeeper: /var will store mysql dbs, /tmp will probably have sessions and other miscellany. | 23:54 |
| burhan | dlemcoe: in your home directory | 23:55 |
| dlemcoe | Kevin, yah me. Old computer under VMWare sometimes | 23:55 |
| dlemcoe | hmm | 23:55 |
| regeya | crud. I've typed /quit | 23:55 |
| kevin_123 | dlemcoe: does your video run smooth? | 23:55 |
| regeya | erm, I think I meant for part of that to go somewhere else | 23:55 |
| dlemcoe | With VMWare tools, it's like on a regular computer | 23:55 |
| regeya | and hehe that looks funny | 23:55 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | burhan: would it then be to my advantage to partition 2-3 GB of my second HDD for each of these (3 total partitions)? | 23:56 |
| ryanzec | are there any tutorials on how to configure, compile and install php 5 on ubuntu. I want to build it from source so that i can have the lastest 5.2.6 and also install 5.3 alpha? | 23:56 |
| kevin_123 | I'll look into VMWare a bit then - when I minimize things it is like watching a blind close :) | 23:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | yah the 18th they will stop flagged torrents ive got time | 23:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | damn wrong place | 23:57 |
| terrestre | jajaj | 23:57 |
| dlemcoe | kevin, it's the best thing if you only want to buy/use one computer. Simply amazing. I have Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows XP Pro SP2, and Gentoo all running at once | 23:57 |
| Gnea | !language | Pirate_Hunter | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Pirate_Hunter: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:58 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | ryanzec: synaptic is your friend, unless you don't have X installed | 23:58 |
| burhan | ThePlaneskeeper: probably :) | 23:58 |
| kevin_123 | I currently only have Ubuntu on this laptop but I am wanting to convert my main PC to Ubuntu as well | 23:58 |
| ThePlaneskeeper | Burhan: thankyou =) you have been very helpful | 23:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gnea: oh the d.a.m didnt think i would get flagged for that, sorry | 23:58 |
| Shadowkllr | bur, now that the apache part of my lamp server is setup and in the right directory, i want mySQL to point to a directory that is just above the apache directory, in the my.conf file in mysql directory, all i need to do is edit datadir= /var/lib/mysql, correct? | 23:58 |
| dlemcoe | god! What do I delete to get rid of all my GPG keys? I can't find it | 23:58 |
| burhan | ryanzec: download the source, install build-essential, install the -dev for the libraries you want, and then ./configure --with-* and make | 23:59 |
| dlemcoe | Ubuntu FTW kevin, no matter how you cut it lol | 23:59 |
| Gnea | Pirate_Hunter: and trying to obscure it will get flagged as well. np | 23:59 |
| Gnea | dlemcoe: it's a hidden dot-folder | 23:59 |
| kevin_123 | FTW ??? | 23:59 |
| Gnea | dlemcoe: .gnupg | 23:59 |
| dlemcoe | For the win | 23:59 |
| dlemcoe | FTW = for the win = good | 23:59 |
| dlemcoe | thanks Gnea | 23:59 |
