| entropius | I'm having a problem with all sounds, regardless of source, clicking and buzzing. This is with Ubuntu 8.04, using the onboard sound (Nvidia chipset) on my motherboard. Switching from PulseAudio to ALSA and back doesn't help. Oddly enough, holding down Alt+Tab to rapidly switch windows makes the sound (temporarily) stabilize, but nothing else does. Any ideas? | 00:07 |
| master16 | hi | 00:07 |
| cedric__ | why the comunication are saved on the web http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ ?????????? | 00:07 |
| entropius | Cedric__: So people can go through the archives to find answers to their problems, probably. | 00:07 |
| exarkun | I upgraded to hardy, now I only have one cpu. What gives? ;) | 00:08 |
| __iron | jrib i joined | 00:08 |
| cedric__ | ok | 00:08 |
| favro | entropius: I had a similar issue and running alsamixer and muting the cd channel stopped it - it might be a diff channel for you | 00:08 |
| randomnickname | Does anyone in here get very slow connection? | 00:09 |
| entropius | favro: okay, I'll try that. It doesn't sound like background noise, though -- it sounds like a desynchronization issue, since after I stop something from playing, the clicks continue for a few seconds | 00:09 |
| jrib | __iron: the folks there are usually very helpful, go ahead and tell them what you are looking for. The page ubottu gave you also tells you other ways to contact the MOTU, including the mailing list | 00:09 |
| randomnickname | I refuse to believe that I'm the only person having trouble with internet on Ubuntu | 00:09 |
| casao | randomnickname: probably not the only one in the world | 00:10 |
| casao | but it's not a common problem i'd say | 00:10 |
| __iron | k jrib | 00:10 |
| favro | entropius: that sounds like a buffers issue | 00:10 |
| Wineo | i jsut fixed my internet | 00:10 |
| randomnickname | I've tried disabling ipv6 | 00:10 |
| entropius | Favro: That's what I thought, too. | 00:10 |
| dacorr | slow network connection could be may things | 00:10 |
| WDC | jrib Flannel: Thanks for all your help. I need to go though | 00:10 |
| entropius | Favro: Any ideas about how to fix it? | 00:10 |
| Wineo | i had a problem with a freash install on an acer just today | 00:10 |
| jrib | WDC: good luck | 00:10 |
| randomnickname | please, if you have wireless, go to speedtest.net and test to see how fast your connection is | 00:11 |
| randomnickname | it is so slow that I cannot update | 00:11 |
| WDC | jrib: thanks | 00:11 |
| favro | entropius: nope but I'll have a quick look :) | 00:11 |
| entropius | Favro: I've tried changing the buffer length on my playback programs (and I've tried everything from audacious to mpg321), to no avail | 00:11 |
| entropius | Favro: Thanks. | 00:11 |
| forevertheuni | hi all, I started to have a problem. My screenlets stopped working with compiz on, and steam with wine with compiz or composite On + metacity doesn't render.Anyone has any idea? | 00:12 |
| entropius | randomnickname: Generally a software problem with the network will cause you to have no connection at all, rather than a slow connection. I'd guess it's something else that's making it slow. | 00:12 |
| randomnickname | it certainly is Ubuntu | 00:12 |
| entropius | Do you have any other computers on your network doing large transfers? | 00:12 |
| nikre | i'm trying to "apt-get source ffmpeg" but getting the error "E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_restricted_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)" | 00:13 |
| nikre | :< | 00:13 |
| randomnickname | what is should I try beside blacklisting ipv6? | 00:13 |
| nickrud | Nicke, system->admin->software sources, try enabling the source | 00:13 |
| dacorr | ping the router? | 00:13 |
| FAJALOU1 | Gnea: are you still here? | 00:13 |
| nikre | i added medibuntu to repositories | 00:13 |
| millertime_018 | hey I have ubuntu installed on a partitioned drive and ubuntu doesn't automatically mount the first partition on startup. how do i add something to startup so that it will? | 00:13 |
| jrib | nikre: you don't need the source to install it from medibuntu | 00:14 |
| FAJALOU1 | millertime_018: is it ntfs? | 00:14 |
| millertime_018 | fajaloui: it has vista on it | 00:14 |
| entropius | randomnickname: run ping www.google.com at a prompt and see what the times are | 00:14 |
| FAJALOU1 | millertime_018: then it's ntfs | 00:14 |
| FAJALOU1 | !ntfs | millertime_018 | 00:14 |
| ubottu | millertime_018: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 00:14 |
| nikre | how can i force apt-get to download from medibuntu ? | 00:15 |
| FAJALOU1 | nikre: you have to add it to the repos | 00:15 |
| nikre | i did | 00:15 |
| Flannel | nikre: you need to add a source repo for medibuntu, you likely only have binary | 00:15 |
| nikre | hmm | 00:15 |
| jrib | nikre: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | 00:15 |
| randomnickname | it says unknown host | 00:16 |
| nickrud | nikre, medibuntu names it's packages as later releases than ubuntu, so it's automatic | 00:16 |
| nikre | there's a special case for ffmpeg | 00:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !medibuntu | 00:16 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:16 |
| jrib | nikre: nope | 00:16 |
| nikre | for example i cant use lame lib with normal install | 00:16 |
| nikre | or i will learn stg now | 00:17 |
| nikre | :) | 00:17 |
| armrp | what is a good cd/dvd drive emulator for linux? | 00:17 |
| jrib | nikre: pastebin 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' | 00:17 |
| nikre | ok | 00:17 |
| jrib | !iso | armrp | 00:17 |
| ubottu | armrp: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 00:17 |
| nikre | Candidate: 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 | 00:17 |
| nickrud | armrp, gisomount does the job | 00:17 |
| jrib | nikre: so run the command I gave you before: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg and you are done | 00:18 |
| armrp | thanks | 00:18 |
| nikre | will do, thx | 00:18 |
| tonedef | hello, everyone. i'm reinstalling ubuntu and manually partitioning my disk, but am not sure how many partitions i am supposed to create for ubuntu, and what their mount points are supposed to be. Any help would be immensely appreciated. :) | 00:18 |
| imaginativeone_ | I changed my ubuntu setup to look like the mac... | 00:19 |
| imaginativeone_ | now nothing works | 00:19 |
| imaginativeone_ | how do I switch back? | 00:19 |
| favro | entropius: seems you need to reinstall the nvidia drivers | 00:19 |
| entropius | favro: hrm, how do I do that? I take it it's not as simple as mucking around with apt... | 00:20 |
| gsd | I think I may have made a mistake when clearing out the /boot for the new kernel(out of space) when I boot up now it says "error 15: file not found press any key to continue" at which I'm given a list of kernels to choose from (grub menu) any way I can fix this? | 00:20 |
| x1250 | Hi guys, I need to know if the Epson C42 works out of the box in hardy. I see that is supported by gutenprint driver, but I need to know if it works out of the box, just plugin it in. | 00:20 |
| mrglinux | I have camera on /dev/video1 how to record it? | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis | x1250, check cups.org and see if its supported there.. if it is - then it should work fine. You could alwyas test with a live cd i guess, but im not too sure how well the live cd supported printers differ from a full install. | 00:22 |
| imaginativeone | how do I change my login window via text? | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis | imaginativeone, the 'gdm' login manager has a config file you can edit with a text editor.. if you are carefull. Depending on what you are wanting to change | 00:23 |
| favro | entropius: I wouldn't know :) | 00:23 |
| nickrud | imaginativeone, you're supposed to put any alterations you want into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom , rather than edit gdm.conf | 00:24 |
| Jacolyte | can someone help me out with this simple script? I just need to install all .deb files within a given dir: http://pastebin.com/m1800e104 | 00:25 |
| nickrud | Jacolyte, why not just use sudo dpkg -i *deb ? | 00:26 |
| Jacolyte | lmao | 00:26 |
| Jacolyte | didn't think of that | 00:26 |
| Jacolyte | haha | 00:26 |
| Jacolyte | thanks | 00:26 |
| armrp | does adobe make photoshop cs3 for linux? | 00:26 |
| nickrud | armrp, no | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | Jacolyte, that may or may not work depending on the # of debs. | 00:26 |
| Jacolyte | I have 17 | 00:26 |
| Jacolyte | debs | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | Jacolyte, doing them one at a time may not work since some may depend on the others also. | 00:27 |
| Flannel | Jacolyte: that'll be fine | 00:27 |
| * nickrud forgets what the command line limit is | 00:27 | |
| Pirate_Hunter | armrp: not that i know off those guyz are too noob for that XD | 00:27 |
| Gman99999 | can anyone tell me the best window manager for mobile computing? | 00:27 |
| armrp | nickrud: any good replacements? | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis | Jacolyte, 17 should be fine... 170+ could be an issue. :) | 00:27 |
| nickrud | armrp, many say gimp is, others say it shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath | 00:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | armrp: but you should be able to run it from wine or crossover but do check their sites first | 00:27 |
| gsd | I don't have a vmlinuz anymore in my /boot is there a way to fix this? | 00:27 |
| Jacolyte | So, if I have 17, and some might depend on eachother... doing sudo dep i- *.deb wouldn't make dependancies an issue? | 00:27 |
| entropius | favro: thanks, I grabbed the driver from nvidia and am trying to get it to work | 00:27 |
| gsd | All I have is a initrd.img | 00:27 |
| Flannel | Jacolyte: well, if they depend on each other, that's the way to do it. | 00:28 |
| Dr_willis | Gman99999, 'mobile computing' is a little vague. the 'matchbox' windowmanager/desktop is desogned for palm type devices. | 00:28 |
| Jacolyte | sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 00:28 |
| Jacolyte | k | 00:28 |
| biouser | anyone know of a good way to convert .pdf to .doc with anything in the repos? | 00:28 |
| Jacolyte | thanks Flannel :D | 00:28 |
| nickrud | Jacolyte, that will resolve those dependencies for you | 00:28 |
| Flannel | Jacolyte: If they have other depends, use gdebi | 00:28 |
| Gman99999 | Dr_willis which one has the best power saving capabilities? | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | biouser: openoffice maybe?.. i don't know.. never tried it. | 00:28 |
| Dr_willis | Jacolyte, if package A depends on B and you install them both at the same time from the same command line. its smart enough to see that the dependccy is satified. | 00:28 |
| Jacolyte | cool | 00:28 |
| nickrud | gsd, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) should put it back | 00:28 |
| gsd | nickrud: I can't get back in the system. | 00:29 |
| Jacolyte | Ha ha! | 00:29 |
| Jacolyte | It worked! | 00:29 |
| Jacolyte | :D | 00:29 |
| Dr_willis | Gman99999, thats not really a 'feature' of any of the window managers/desktops. some do have tools to controll various powersaving features.. gnome and kde both have those tools. | 00:29 |
| biouser | IndyGunFreak: yeah, I should probably just ignore job postings that say to submit resume in "word format" when I have a bomb type-set resume that I compile to pdf... | 00:29 |
| gsd | nickrud: I'm given a "error 15: file not found" upon boot. | 00:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_willis: so thats how you do it... ahhh now i find out :/ | 00:29 |
| nickrud | gsd, you could download the kernel deb in the live cd, then use dpkg -x to extract the deb and then manually place the files. | 00:29 |
| Gman99999 | Dr_willis wouldn't xfce be better for power saving? since it uses less system resources? | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | biouser: well, do what you want i'm just saying, thats the only thing ic ould think of,a nd i'm not reall;y sure if it would work | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis | Pirate_Hunter, :) ive found it pays to read some of the rather legenthy apt-get docs and guides out there. some neat tricks buried in them!~ Argh! buried treasure in the docs Matey! | 00:30 |
| freeflowcauvery | is there a command that lists out one's partition schema? | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis | Gman99999, using less ram wont really save much power.. but use what you want. If you like xfce then use it. | 00:30 |
| nickrud | gsd, alternatively, chroot into the install after booting the live cd and then run the apt-get | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis | freeflowcauvery, 'sudo fdisk -l' | 00:31 |
| SkinnYPup | Uhh filled ram requires refreshing | 00:31 |
| gsd | nickrud: I only have the kubuntu live cd, I'm not sure if that has it but I will check. | 00:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_willis: true but they are soooo boring and long and no pictures - jk | 00:31 |
| armrp | Pirate_Hunter: where can i find crossover? | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis | Jacolyte, i would be suprised if that script you did even worked at all.. doing 'sudo bash' in a script.. seems sooo wrong.. | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | armrp: codeweavers.com | 00:32 |
| armrp | ok thanks...how do i report spam? i am getting annoying pm's | 00:33 |
| dembo | morning | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | armrp: #freenode... but hey are aware of the problem | 00:33 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Dr_willis: i'm not sure if seems is even the right word - it violates every best practice for bash scripting out there :\ | 00:33 |
| dembo | If I have a template variable that is a tuple, is there a way to print the first element from the template, eg {{ myVar[0] }} | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis | Daisuke_Laptop, it dosent work either. Since it spawns a new shell that takes over.. so the rest of the script dosent get ran as root.. it dosent get ran till after the root shell exits. | 00:34 |
| Jacolyte | Dr_willis, I thought so hahaha | 00:34 |
| Sam1337 | I just had a really good idea for 8.10. A wlan cracking feature could be implemented into networkmanager. That way, connecting to encrypted wlans would be easier for newcomers to Linux. | 00:35 |
| dembo | ha sorry, wrong channel | 00:35 |
| phoenixz | mid5: abuelo! | 00:35 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Dr_willis: isn't it good practice not to use sudo in a script period? | 00:35 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | and what's with the spam today? | 00:35 |
| johnny05 | when creating a gpg key, do i need to do anything special to be able to use it? | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis | Daisuke_Laptop, depends on the script i imagine. :) | 00:35 |
| FAJALOU1 | tonedef most people use three partitions: / /home and linux-swap | 00:36 |
| johnny05 | add it to my gpg keyring or something | 00:36 |
| johnny05 | i keep getting gpg key not found | 00:36 |
| armrp | How do I find the folder where all my programs are stored, like the "Program Files" folder in Windows | 00:36 |
| Flannel | armrp: There isn't "one" folder, there's a number. What are you looking for? | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis | armrp, linux dosent work that way. :) | 00:37 |
| johnny05 | anyone? | 00:37 |
| johnny05 | gpg | 00:37 |
| johnny05 | ever heard of it | 00:37 |
| Sam1337 | Linux doesn't use lazy files | 00:37 |
| armrp | Ktorrent | 00:37 |
| nikre | anyone know how i can fix the right shift of the screen? | 00:37 |
| armrp | im downloading a torrent and it defaults to transmission but i want it to use ktorrent | 00:37 |
| tenbytes | linux does seem a bit unorganized | 00:37 |
| tenbytes | compared to windows | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis | !gpg | 00:37 |
| ubottu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 00:37 |
| komputes | johnny05: using it for mail? | 00:38 |
| Mythril | is there a log I can look at to tell when I last logged in? | 00:38 |
| Dr_willis | tenbytes, compared to the stuff ive seen windows try to do... linux is very organized. | 00:38 |
| Flannel | armrp: Set your preferred applications through the preferences menu | 00:38 |
| tenbytes | i don't see how | 00:38 |
| tenbytes | files are all over the place for one program | 00:38 |
| komputes | How is it that I am able to rename /home/user/Desktop to home/user/foobar and it still knows that foobar is the desktop folder? | 00:39 |
| armrp | oh thanks Flannel | 00:39 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tenbytes: system files in c:\windows, c:\windows\system, c:\windows\system32, c:\Program Files\Common Files, etc, etc | 00:39 |
| gsd | nickrud: Hey, so I was able to boot up into kubuntu I've mounted my /boot to a folder and the only things that exist in it are the initrd.img, I'm not exactly sure how to chroot. | 00:39 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | that's not organized | 00:39 |
| tenbytes | it's all in c:\windows though | 00:39 |
| Mythril | komputes: inodes | 00:39 |
| testmycode019 | anv | 00:39 |
| deeperror | gsd, magic | 00:39 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you must have missed where i mentioned program files | 00:39 |
| tenbytes | see /etc/bin/ | 00:39 |
| komputes | Mythril: aha | 00:39 |
| tenbytes | /usr/bin/ | 00:39 |
| tenbytes | /usr/local/bin | 00:40 |
| tenbytes | blah | 00:40 |
| FAJALOU1 | i am trying to see all of the windows share in ubuntu. Currently i have to go to smb://down/users to see the share, but i used to be able to just navigate to smb://down and everything would show up... How can i make it so that everything thing shared on the downstairs is viewable to me under smb://down? | 00:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tenbytes: it's different, yes | 00:40 |
| gsd | deeperror: magic? | 00:40 |
| tenbytes | i may learn its organize after i learn what everything does | 00:40 |
| komputes | Mythril: I knew it was something low level like that, or something in gconf-editor | 00:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tenbytes: but after a bit, it starts to make a lot of sense | 00:40 |
| tenbytes | yeah | 00:40 |
| millertime_018 | hey how do i mount a partition through the terminal? | 00:40 |
| tenbytes | i like linux more then windows | 00:40 |
| phoenixz | midgard_: You there? | 00:40 |
| tenbytes | especially since i learnt of wine ;d | 00:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tenbytes: it threw me for a loop at first | 00:41 |
| komputes | Mythril: so the desktop directory has a static inode assigned to it and therefore nomatter if you change the name of Desktop dir it will always know that THAT is the desktop dir | 00:41 |
| midgard_ | phoenixz, yes, it's work, thanks | 00:41 |
| Detch | good nigth | 00:41 |
| Mythril | komputes: actually it will probably break if you log out and log back in | 00:41 |
| komputes | Mythril: why is that? | 00:41 |
| millertime_018 | how do i manually mount a partition? | 00:42 |
| Mythril | komputes: because the inode is most likely not stored anywhere but in memory | 00:42 |
| komputes | Mythril: I know that if you install another language the name changes.. i.e. French Desktop -> Bureau | 00:42 |
| komputes | Mythril: how would that not break it? | 00:42 |
| millertime_018 | how do i mount a partition from the terminal?!?!?! | 00:42 |
| millertime_018 | ;oinlkasdfoainalkdjviaugahga | 00:43 |
| millertime_018 | a;oisdvna | 00:43 |
| komputes | millertime_018: man mount | 00:43 |
| millertime_018 | komputes: yes manually mount | 00:43 |
| FAJALOU1 | !patience > millertime_018 | 00:43 |
| ubottu | millertime_018, please see my private message | 00:43 |
| komputes | no man = manual command | 00:43 |
| komputes | to look at the manual | 00:43 |
| Mythril | komputes: you might want to ask in the gnome channel, but I'm pretty sure Desktop is just a regular old folder | 00:43 |
| Derander | Has anyone ever used ^x^y to replace a character in a bash command? | 00:43 |
| gsd | Anyone know where I can find the kernel files on the livecd | 00:43 |
| gsd | ? | 00:43 |
| Mythril | komputes: they might do some extra tracking but I doubt it | 00:44 |
| Derander | It only replaces the first instance of that character/pattern, I'm trying to figure out how to make it replace all instances | 00:44 |
| millertime_018 | komputes: how does it work? just enter "no man" into the terminal? | 00:44 |
| Detch | as boot ubuntu 8.4 in the way of simple user? | 00:44 |

| FAJALOU1 | i am trying to see all of the windows share in ubuntu. Currently i have to go to smb://down/users to see the share, but i used to be able to just navigate to smb://down and everything would show up... How can i make it so that everything thing shared on the downstairs is viewable to me under smb://down? | 00:44 |
| Terrasque | millertime_018: generally, its "man <command>" to view the manual page for that command | 00:45 |
| komputes | Mythril: I'll change the name of Desktop and log back in to let you know if it borks it up | 00:45 |
| Mythril | komputes: an experimentalist I see | 00:45 |
| Detch | ? | 00:45 |
| komputes | Mythril: you know it!!! | 00:45 |
| Detch | someone could tell me how do I start the ubuntu 8.4 text mode | 00:46 |
| aymeba | hi all | 00:46 |
| komputes | millertime_018: you need to create a folder/directory to be used as a "mount point" then you do "mount /dev/device_name /mountpoint/whereevert_that_may_be" | 00:46 |
| aymeba | Ich need some help for Ubuntu | 00:46 |
| aymeba | I need WLAN on my Laptop | 00:46 |
| chuy_max | FAJALOU1, it has been some time since I used samba, but if I remember correctly, you have to share your directories for them to be viewable, and those directories you are sharing should be viewable on smb://down | 00:46 |
| FAJALOU1 | Detch: ctrl alt f1 to get to a tty, ctrl alt f7 to get back to graphical | 00:47 |
| deejaypip | Hi, I will be using dialup next week. I usually use AOL to connect to the phone line. Is there a Linux alternative? | 00:47 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, is to install the drive nvidia | 00:47 |
| FAJALOU1 | chuy_max: the files i am trying to see are shared (ie Public) but i still have to manually type in the whole line out | 00:47 |
| aymeba | can anyone help me please?? | 00:47 |
| FAJALOU1 | Detch: do it through hardware drivers | 00:48 |
| komputes | millertime_018: "sudo mount /dev/foo /mnt" would mount the device "foo" in the directory /mnt | 00:48 |
| millertime_018 | nevermind i'll just mount it manually every time i start ubuntu | 00:48 |
| Detch | I start in single user mode | 00:48 |
| awag | i'm having a lot of trouble setting up my bluetooth usb dongle | 00:48 |
| dsrguru | hey guys, what fstab options should I set for a 100M ext2 /boot partition? | 00:48 |
| chuy_max | awag, hardy? | 00:48 |
| awag | i've run through a few tutorials but the device just doesn't show up | 00:48 |
| FAJALOU1 | Detch: System>Administration>hardware drivers then check nvidia | 00:48 |
| awag | chuy_max: yes | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | dsrguru, the defaults should be fine I imagine. | 00:48 |
| dsrguru | Dr_willis: would noatime and/or nodiratime be okay to add? | 00:49 |
| chuy_max | awag, mmm, my dongle worked out of the box | 00:49 |
| chuy_max | awag, I had troubles with feisty though | 00:49 |
| chuy_max | but not with hardy | 00:49 |
| awag | chuy_max: yeah, that is another thing that is upsetting, most of the tutorials are filled with responses with people saying things like "oh weird, mine worked out of the box" :) | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | dsrguru, You could use them i guess.. but i doubt if it will matter much. /boot only gets used a littel at boot tiem and thats it.. so i dont see what you will gain much. Some disrtos dont even mount /boot they keep it unmounted to keep it safe | 00:49 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, I want to install the drive native of nvidia because it indicated that problems with | 00:50 |
| dsrguru | Dr_willis: okay thx | 00:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | wow so much has gone by since i went downstairs, dang | 00:50 |
| awag | i'm going to check and see if it will work on my other machine that has hardy on it also | 00:50 |
| dsrguru | Dr_willis: if some distros don't even mount it, should I do noauto? | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | dsrguru, doing that way may break 'updating' the kernel from the package manager. | 00:50 |
| dsrguru | Dr_willis: k | 00:51 |
| deejaypip | So the website with the linux alternatives to window programs... i've misplaced it. what is it? | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | dsrguru, for some reason gentoo dosent mount /boot as a 'security' thing.. not sure how its any more secure.. | 00:51 |
| FAJALOU1 | Detch: System>Administration>hardware drivers then check nvidia | 00:51 |
| dsrguru | ok I'll just use defaults | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | dsrguru, im not sure whatyou even gain by having a /boot seperately any more.. other then some systems needing it for raid/other setups | 00:52 |
| Yamaneko | i'm with a problem to install AWN... when i'm doing ./configure, I get this error: No package 'glib-2.0' found; No package 'gobject-2.0' found; No package 'gtk+-2.0' found; No package 'gdk-2.0' found; No package 'libwnck-1.0' found; No package 'gconf-2.0' found"... so, i've googled it and I have found that i must install libgtk and libgtk-dev packages. And it doesn't work, too. I get a similar error... | 00:52 |
| dsrguru | Dr_willis: I'm using a MacBook with GUID/EFI | 00:52 |
| dsrguru | Dr_willis: and I'm using my fourth partition for LVM | 00:52 |
| Yamaneko | What should I do? | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | dsrguru, totally beyond my experience then. Good Luck. :) | 00:52 |
| FAJALOU1 | Yamaneko: is there a reason why you aren't using the one from the reps? | 00:52 |
| dsrguru | first is for efi, second for osx, third for /boot, and fourth for lvm | 00:52 |
| dsrguru | k | 00:52 |
| dsrguru | I'll just use defaults for /boot then | 00:53 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, this drive when enter into standby mode you must restart the machine | 00:53 |
| dsrguru | thx | 00:53 |
| awag | chuy_max: what brand do you have? i'm beginning to think i might have bought something that just sucks | 00:53 |
| FAJALOU1 | detch? | 00:53 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, as if the machine hangs | 00:54 |
| Detch | this machine is reboot | 00:54 |
| Yamaneko | FAJALOU1: Yes... when I try it, I get errors with this packages: libawn0-bzr, libpango1.0-0 | 00:54 |

| Maahes | Is there some way to recover from the partition resizer in the installer whiping my allocation table for ntfs? | 00:55 |
| FAJALOU1 | Detch: ok then try using a failsafe option( when you login where it says sessions) and try one of those and then hardware drivers etc. | 00:55 |
| nandemonai | Hey guys, I'm having a few wifi issues. The card worked fine in Feisty, (pcmcia in an old Toshiba) but I've just installed hardy (server install) and everything seems to be setup right, card is see etc but when I try and bring it up it just wont do anything. Activity light wont light up. Any ideas on where I could start troubleshooting? | 00:55 |
| Yamaneko | FAJALOU1: It says this packages cannot be installed... | 00:55 |
| FAJALOU1 | Yamaneko: try installing those seperately.... like sudo apt-get install libawn0-bzr libpango1.0-0 | 00:55 |
| Yamaneko | FAJALOU1: All right... | 00:56 |
| chuy_max | awag, mine is a chinese brandless dongle (it is true, the box doesn't display a name), lsusb reports this: Elan Microelectronics Corp. | 00:56 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, No grub does not have this option'm using ubuntu 8.04 | 00:56 |
| bastid_raZor | where does AWN store its applet directory? i do not have a ~/.avant like i thought it would create | 00:56 |
| chuy_max | awag, it can't be worse than that | 00:56 |
| FAJALOU1 | Detch: no when you get to the login screen... | 00:56 |
| beautifulsnow | Hello, my laptop keyboard (hardy heron, all updated) sometimes (often times..) gets locked up and I cant type, or use the mouse. everything else still works as normal. all i can do is ctrl alt backspace... any ideas? ^^ | 00:57 |
| Dr_willis | bastid_raZor, its in .config | 00:57 |
| Detch | I understand no longer see | 00:57 |
| bastid_raZor | Dr_willis; thanks. | 00:57 |
| Mythril | are there no logs that keep track of when a user logs in or out? | 00:58 |
| awag | chuy_max: on my other machine it shows up, which means something is messed up on this machine, i have the bluetooth module installed and stuff, and apt-get installed all the stuff in the tutorials | 00:58 |
| chuy_max | awag, maybe usb? | 00:58 |
| chuy_max | awag, does lsusb reports your card? | 00:59 |
| Miesco | How do I connect my bluetooth keypad? | 00:59 |
| Miesco | I want to type NUMBERS | 00:59 |
| awag | uhoh, it's a bluetooth party | 00:59 |
| Yamaneko | FAJALOU1:So, I get this message: sudo apt-get install libawn0-bzr; libawn0-bzr cannot be installed 'cause it depends of libpango1.0-0. So, I've tried to install libpango1.0-0 and it says I already have the newest version... | 00:59 |
| acp_ | hi can any one direct me to a fix or howto for User Settings, after installing User Profile Editor I could not anymore add user | 01:00 |
| awag | chuy_max: let me check that | 01:00 |
| Miesco | I did some research, hidd --connect 00:18:A3:00:28:FD, that just hangs | 01:00 |
| FAJALOU1 | Yamaneko: try reinstalling it, and then if that doesn't work, try using aptitude instead of apt-get | 01:00 |
| Miesco | hciattach 00:18:A3:00:28:FD, well that isn't even correct... | 01:00 |
| Tonoy | i had a question regarding wubi | 01:00 |
| Tonoy | i am not sure how to install internet in wubi | 01:00 |
| Tonoy | or plug internet in wubi | 01:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !wubi | 01:01 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 01:01 |
| Yamaneko | FAJALOU1: You mean remove libpango1.0-0 and reinstall it via aptitude? | 01:01 |
| Miesco | Oh wait, hciattach I think is for serial devices | 01:01 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, after verification is necessary to install and do something? | 01:01 |
| computer | !? | 01:01 |
| FAJALOU1 | detch again what? | 01:01 |
| lorenzo_ | hi, guys, I hope someone can help. All of a sudden i dont have most of my applets on my panel - I mean at the top right, near the time and date. I used to have CheckGmail and now it's nowhere, I start it but it's not there. Also, stuff like Pidgin or aMule will work but will not be minimized there. The date and the search thingy are there. I hope someone knows what is going on, thank you a lot | 01:01 |
| casao | is there any way to get configure commandlines with synaptic? Specifically, I would like to pass --disable-nm to pidgin but i would prefer not to have to compile it every time it updates | 01:02 |
| Tonoy | and i don't want to take a risk with the iso files | 01:02 |
| Tonoy | that is why i am doing this | 01:02 |
| Tonoy | can anyone tell me what i can do? | 01:03 |
| Terrasque | casao: the only option is to find a repository with pidgin patched that way. Ubuntu is a binary distribution, and don't have that option I'm afraid. | 01:03 |
| Tonoy | pleassee heeelpppp | 01:03 |
| casao | i was afraid of that | 01:03 |
| casao | i think that's more trouble then just manually connecting pidgin when i go over my phone | 01:03 |
| Tonoy | please write the name of the person who you are reffering to | 01:04 |
| Tonoy | because i can't understand | 01:04 |
| Mythril | are lastlog and wtmp encrypted or something? | 01:04 |
| Terrasque | casao: you could check out gentoo, that is a source distribution, and have possibilites like that. But it's more work getting it installed tho | 01:05 |
| casao | yeah, i'm sticking to ubuntu | 01:05 |
| casao | was just hoping it would be an easy option somewhere | 01:05 |
| casao | oh well | 01:05 |
| lorenzo_ | hi, guys, I hope someone can help. All of a sudden i dont have most of my applets on my panel - I mean at the top right, near the time and date. I used to have CheckGmail and now it's nowhere, I start it but it's not there. Also, stuff like Pidgin or aMule will work but will not be minimized there. The date and the search thingy are there. Im on Ubuntu Hardy 64. I hope someone knows what is going on, thank you a lot | 01:05 |
| casao | Does anyone know anything about NetworkManager's supposed incoming phone tethering support? The source I see is the pidgin ticketing tracker and it says 0.17 will support it, but synaptic lists networkmanager as v 0.6.6, so versioning numbers are weird | 01:06 |
| Detch | FAJALOU1, in ubuntu is a notification that the drive can not be supported by ubuntu | 01:06 |
| komputes | Mythril: and I'm back | 01:06 |
| casao | lorenzo_: sounds to me like you removed the notifications panel, right click the bar, goto add panel and select notifications panel | 01:06 |
| komputes | Mythril: all good, with my desktop dir called foobar | 01:06 |
| Sorlag | wos is denn? | 01:06 |
| foxhound | guys is there paltalk for linux ? or a way to install it in ? | 01:06 |
| awag | chuy_max: hey, lsusb shows the adapter, it shows it as three separate devices | 01:06 |
| djGreenBuds | <-RETARD - why cant i find xchat, it is installed x| | 01:07 |
| lorenzo_ | casao: thanks! it worked. I wonder how I did that without realizing it, very odd | 01:07 |
| djGreenBuds | pls. | 01:07 |
| warriorforgod | djGreenBuds: Can you run it from the command line? | 01:07 |
| djGreenBuds | maybe | 01:08 |
| casao | djGreenBuds: it should be under internet i believe, but konversation is a lot nicer of an irc client | 01:08 |
| djGreenBuds | casao, that's what i read, but it is not | 01:08 |
| genii | casao: konversation is not a native gtk app | 01:08 |
| casao | genii: no, and gtk/qt stupidity is the biggest downfall of linux, being forced to choose along partylines instead of selecting the best app for the job | 01:09 |
| chuy_max | awag, that's weird | 01:09 |
| genii | casao: I agree | 01:09 |
| foxhound | guys, is there a way to install Paltalk for Ubuntu ? <--- | 01:09 |
| casao | foxhound: wine will probably do it | 01:09 |
| Flannel | casao: You aren't tried to a particulr toolkit. QT programs run fine in gnome, and v.v. | 01:09 |
| chuy_max | awag, maybe your usb is somehow messed, perhaps you can try a mouse usb, or some other usb device and check if it also reports several devices | 01:10 |
| foxhound | casao: thx | 01:10 |
| WDC | Hey, this is a noob question, but how can I change my terminal colors? | 01:10 |
| casao | Flannel: yes, i know, and i'm running kde apps in gnome, the fact that the two seperate things exist and it does affect people's decisions is annoying | 01:10 |
| Terrasque | earlier it was a .. gtk theme i think that ran the qt engine. Basically, the result was that both had mostly the same look (except for some small bugs) | 01:10 |
| awag | chuy_max: i'm using my usb mouse, it reports only one device | 01:10 |
| genii | Flannel: The reason I mentioned it as not being a native gtk app is since many are running marginal hardware for having to also load the QT libraries on top of the gtk ones just to run for instance something like konversation | 01:11 |
| casao | yeah, i'm very happy with my netbook remix | 01:11 |
| Flannel | casao: Competition/choice is good, but this is getting offtopic. You're welcome to bring it to #ubuntu-offtopic, and we can talk more about it there if you'd like. | 01:11 |
| Cobi | Is it possible to theme gnome-screensaver's lock screen, just like it is possible to theme GDM's login screen? | 01:11 |
| chuy_max | awag, try the dongle in the mouse port | 01:11 |
| foxhound | hey flannel !!! | 01:11 |
| aymeba | can anyone help me please?? I have WLAN Problem on my Laptop | 01:11 |
| foxhound | remember me ?:p | 01:11 |
| cata | hi guys, Im with a problem.... I have an atheron wlan card, ubntu says its using propietary drivers but i cant connect with it to the net... how do i do that?? | 01:11 |
| Flannel | Howdy foxhound. Glad you got it installed. | 01:11 |
| foxhound | im talking to you from ubuntu now :D | 01:11 |
| foxhound | thx alot | 01:11 |
| foxhound | its really good, i think i'll dump windows faster than i thought | 01:13 |
| cata | no idea about the atheros wireless card? | 01:14 |
| casao | cata - do you have network manager installed? | 01:14 |
| Elijah | Hi, Where would I find commands on how to copy a directory to another folder? | 01:14 |
| Miesco | Does that Targus Keypad work with linux? | 01:14 |
| === [\dan\] is now known as \\dan\\ | ||
| casao | cata: are you perhaps using a netbook? Anyway, Atheros needs the madwifi drivers, you can install them and they should let it work, network manager can handle it then | 01:15 |
| foxhound | cata check the network connections 1st | 01:16 |
| cata | casao, yes i have neetwork manager and i think i dont have madwifi installed | 01:16 |
| awag | chuy_max: still three devices show up, let me check again on the machine that seems like it is working with the dongle | 01:16 |
| foxhound | i found that it detected my internet without installing anything | 01:16 |
| casao | cata: madwifi are the drivers for atheros | 01:16 |
| cata | casao, ok but in propietary drivers says im using some propietary drivers and still cant see anythin | 01:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | freaking abnormal share ratio like 10.**,20.**,30.** & i even found a freaking 50.** why would i share that much need to turn off comp | 01:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ignore that ppl wrong place "i kno i know" | 01:17 |
| WDC | Try it, but probably not. It sez you are using one | 01:18 |
| WDC | oopps | 01:18 |
| WDC | I'm sorry how d oyou change Terminal colors, I forgot to change channels back./ | 01:18 |
| cata | casao, do i have to install madwifi and uncheck use propietary drivers and restart to get this workin? | 01:18 |
| Slade | anyone have problems running pidgin via ssh X forwarding? | 01:19 |
| awag | chuy_max: on the machine that works, the dongle shows up as 4 devices :) | 01:19 |
| casao | cata: i'm not entirely sure, i installed madwifi drivers myself on an atheros chipset and it worked | 01:19 |
| ifor | server irc./efnet/nl | 01:19 |
| WDC | Anyone? How do you change Terminal colors? | 01:19 |
| chuy_max | awag, mmm, weird, never seen that before | 01:20 |
| cata | casao, didnt do anything else besides installing madwifi packages? | 01:20 |
| Slade | WDC: are u looking to change the background or text colors? | 01:20 |
| WDC | both | 01:20 |
| WDC | Slade: both | 01:20 |
| WDC | Slade: eh? | 01:21 |
| casao | cata: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking - it walks you through the process | 01:21 |
| bravo7 | uestion i have 7.10 should i update or update to 8.04 | 01:22 |
| hellcattrav | HIya all have been reading about apt-get and aptitude...what is synaptic and the tray icons for upating and installing bugfixes and security upates a front end for? | 01:22 |
| WDC | Slade: Any help? | 01:23 |
| Flannel | hellcattrav: They're GUI frontends, just like apt-get and aptitude are CLI frontends | 01:23 |
| DEdwards | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XH5gmKCeKI | 01:24 |
| DEdwards | lol | 01:24 |
| Flannel | hellcattrav: update-manager obviously just handles updates, instead of installing newer things. | 01:24 |
| ivi_ | I acidentally updated hardy to intrepid. how can I roll back? | 01:24 |
| Flannel | hellcattrav: that is, instead of installing new packages. Synaptic does that (and can do updates) | 01:24 |
| Flannel | DEdwards: please don't paste things like that here | 01:24 |
| hellcattrav | Flannel, ok, makes sense but aptitude I read as being superior for apt-get pertaining to uninstall of packages? | 01:25 |
| genii | hellcattrav: The backend for most of the package systems is dpkg | 01:25 |
| hellcattrav | Ah | 01:25 |
| Flannel | hellcattrav: That's not accurate anymore, no. | 01:25 |
| Guest78022 | can anyone help setting up a wireless printer through a 2wire modem? | 01:25 |
| hellcattrav | so would synaptic remove all the dependies of a package too? | 01:25 |
| DEdwards | Flannel, its just a video about an ubuntu virus | 01:25 |
| hellcattrav | Oh what's new then? I guess I was reading things out of date. | 01:25 |
| rockets | Is it safe to use the ubuntu wubi installer by mounting the ubuntu ISO in daemon tools | 01:26 |
| ivi_ | please, how can I roll back from 8.10 to 8.4LTS? | 01:26 |
| Flannel | DEdwards: Yes, that's at the very least, offtopic for this channel. | 01:26 |
| tehmarz | hellcattrav: Synaptic is the gtk graphical GUI for apt-get.Hey. How would I install a package I've got with --download-only? | 01:26 |
| Flannel | !downgrade | ivi_ | 01:26 |
| ubottu | ivi_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 01:26 |
| DEdwards | good point, apologies | 01:27 |
| genii | ivi_: Additionally to tehmarz's comment, 8.04 is not a Long Term Support version | 01:27 |
| ivi_ | Flannel: well, it's already broken that I'm using an friggin alpha release lol | 01:27 |
| genii | Sorry mistake | 01:27 |
| Flannel | genii: What? | 01:28 |
| genii | ivi_: Nevermind got the versions mixed, it is LTS | 01:28 |
| ivi_ | genii: I know it is | 01:28 |
| Mecha25 | rockets: you don't need to mount the ISO, Wubi can be downloaded as an EXE, and which will load the ISO file and install it, if you put both in the same folder | 01:28 |
| Flannel | ivi_: Well, you'll have to get real familiar with pinning package versions. You'll have an easier time reinstalling. | 01:28 |
| genii | Flannel: I for some reason transposed 7.10 to 7.04 instead of 8.10 to 8.04 | 01:28 |
| underandy | How do I change permission of a file from root root to user user | 01:28 |
| Mecha25 | foxhound: I'm back | 01:28 |
| DEdwards | ivi_, did you use separate partitions for /home and /(root) | 01:28 |
| livingtarget | before 8.04 partitions used to be named after the mount point, but now after 8.04 it's just generic names as "120.0 GB Media" which just confuses me. Any way to change that? | 01:29 |
| tehmarz | My IRC messed up there. How would I install a package I've got with --download-only? | 01:29 |
| ivi_ | DEdwards: no, but on the other hand that is not that a big deal | 01:29 |
| Flannel | tehmarz: just apt-get install it | 01:29 |
| tehmarz | Flannel: Would that not try to get from the repository? | 01:29 |
| Flannel | tehmarz: It'll see it has a version locally, and use that instead. | 01:29 |
| Flannel | tehmarz: Assuming its still current. | 01:29 |
| tehmarz | Flannel: Ah, thanks a lot. | 01:29 |
| Mecha25 | why are there 3 floodbots? | 01:30 |
| DEdwards | i suggest reinstall | 01:30 |
| Flannel | Mecha25: because its better that way | 01:30 |
| ivi_ | so, you'd suggest to get a live cd and reinstall 8.04? | 01:30 |
| Mecha25 | ok... | 01:30 |
| DEdwards | i always use separate /home and / partitions | 01:30 |
| DEdwards | ivi_, yeah | 01:31 |
| Flannel | ivi_: Or an alternate CD, yeah. Reinstallation is the quickest and easiest | 01:31 |
| ivi_ | hm, okay | 01:31 |
| lemon | I've installed ubuntu8.04 ,but I can't get my video card to work properly(8400),how? | 01:31 |
| ColdSilence27 | any one kno how to hcak a myspace | 01:31 |
| Flannel | ColdSilence27: Please take that elsewhere. | 01:32 |
| Mecha25 | ColdSilence27: you've got the wrong room | 01:32 |

| casao | Slade: no | 01:32 |
| Mecha25 | Slade, you don't need to, use NDISWrapper | 01:32 |
| Slade | like if i had an linux unsupported linksys wireless card, can i use wine to run the network adapter? | 01:32 |
| jrib | !wifi > Slade | 01:33 |
| ubottu | Slade, please see my private message | 01:33 |
| Slade | Mecha25: tried it on my home PC. didn't do very well | 01:33 |
| genii | Slade: ndiswrapper is a much better alternative | 01:33 |
| lemon | I've installed ubuntu8.04 ,but I can't get my video card to work properly(8400),how? | 01:33 |
| Slade | ok. | 01:33 |
| Mecha25 | Slade: ndiswrapper is what you're looking for, I'm not sure how to make it work, but I know that's exactly what you're looking for | 01:33 |
| lemon | any idea? | 01:33 |
| Slade | lemon: What video card? | 01:33 |
| ahave | hello. i am having troubles setting permissions for a folder.. can someone help | 01:34 |

| dina | Hi - Can't find cups driver for canon pixma ip1800 - tried the ip200 but would not print a test page - any idea'a anyone? | 01:34 |
| lemon | ptn107,it shows me nothing | 01:34 |
| Slade | lemon: install the nvidia-kernel stuffs | 01:34 |
| Slade | from the restricted modules | 01:35 |
| Elijah | what does the [-r] in cp -r do, i know it means recursive but I do not get it? | 01:35 |
| Slade | Elijah: recursive means it goes down all the sub folders and files | 01:35 |
| dina | actually that was the cups pixma ip 2000 driver | 01:35 |
| Mecha25 | Elijah: if you use it co copy a folder, it will copy everything in that folder, instead of just the folder name | 01:35 |
| Elijah | slade, thats good to know! | 01:35 |
| lemon | slade,but in the "restricted modules",it shows me nothing | 01:36 |
| Elijah | Mecha25, I guess you always want to use that comman then! | 01:36 |
| Mecha25 | Elijah: with directories, usually yeah | 01:36 |
| Slade | lemon: try a synaptic package manager search | 01:36 |
| Gun_Smoke | usually | 01:36 |
| Slade | for nvidia-kernel or linux-restricted modules | 01:36 |
| lemon | slade,what's the key words? | 01:36 |
| dina | is there a way to use ndis wrapper for canon printer driver ? ? ? | 01:36 |
| Mecha25 | dina: no, you want CUPS | 01:36 |
| casao | Has anyone in here had any experience in virtualizing windows inside of virtualbox? I'm gonna toss TinyXP inside and see how it runs, wondering what I'm looking at performance-wise do you think? | 01:37 |

| tonsofpcs | trying with gedit | 01:50 |
| tonsofpcs | thanks tritium | 01:50 |
| tritium | tonsofpcs: in generel, don't touch/remove system files like that, but this is an exception | 01:50 |

| derrich | tonsofpcs: unfortunately, no. going to System - Preferences - Sound and clicking "Test" (and the "Auto-detect" setting) almost always produces sound ... but whether it's doing it via ALSA or pulseaudio seems random | 02:21 |

| l3d | ok done | 02:24 |
| WDC | norman__: What? | 02:24 |
| WDC | norman__: Where | 02:24 |

| derrich | burhan: now i guess i need to figure out where/why gnome is launching pulseaudio ... which brings me back to another question: is there any harm in uninstalling pulseaudio? i don't use any of its features (that i know of, at least) | 02:26 |

| SuperQ | aymeba: You may want to consult your local Linux nerd | 02:26 |
| burhan | Devourer: here its using about 2% of my 4GB RAM and average around 40 - 60% of my CPU, which is okay since I abuse my system alot :) | 02:26 |
| Slade | d4t4min3r: how set are you in using rhythmbox? | 02:26 |
| Flannel | WDC: That's probably your best bet at the moment. And in the process you might find theres already a bug reported, with a workaround. | 02:26 |
| burhan | derrich: I think its recommended to disable it if you are facing audio problems. | 02:27 |
| tonsofpcs | derrich: do realize that pulseaudio is a proxy of sorts | 02:27 |
| d4t4min3r | Slade: im not sure why | 02:27 |
| derrich | qr: is the xscreensaver daemon running? | 02:27 |
| WDC | Flannel: It HAS been filed but nothing has come out of it | 02:27 |

| l3d | ok now is there a gui way to connect to the other pc with ssh | 02:27 |
| qr | derrich: no | 02:27 |
| Devourer | burhan, why is it using so much CPU?! | 02:27 |
| derrich | tonsofpcs: i know it acts as a proxy - but i don't know if it's used locally or not | 02:27 |
| damripp | i cant access my login window settings, how to reset? | 02:27 |
| uoaphys | will someone help me with a bridge and virtualbox? I setup a bridge br0 as described in the virtual box manual. Now my VM and my linux system both get ip's from my wireless router. However, my VM can't ping my linux system, and my linux system can't ping my VM (winxp), can someone help me troubleshoot? | 02:27 |
| Slade | d4t4min3r: cause you could run other music players... XMMS, AmaroK, etc | 02:27 |
| tonsofpcs | derrich: so i'm guessing your system is set up for pulseaudio but it's crashing and when it crashes, you just see alsa directly | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | qr, ive notced mplayer 'hanging' for a few secs (some times 20+ sec) while trying to get Pulse Audio going. I set it to use ALSA instead of pulse and it starts up faster.. ive noticed it also seems to start up faster in other windowmanagers then gnome.. Not sure why | 02:27 |
| burhan | Devourer: probably compiz, but I really have no clue. | 02:27 |
| d4t4min3r | Slade: i tried to run amarok but it installs the older version.. amarok 2 i think it is .. is out | 02:28 |
| slicky | hows the best way to transfer files via a bluetooth connection? | 02:28 |

| d4t4min3r | Slade: does amarok 2 do ipod | 02:28 |
| qr | Dr_willis: ahh, interesting. I am not using gnome, but I am using pulseaudio, I'll see what using alsa gets me. | 02:28 |
| d4t4min3r | like... transfer files and stuff | 02:28 |
| derrich | tonsofpcs: the pulseaudio daemon looks like it's running ... using "mplayer -ao pulse" and "mplayer -ao alsa" both produce no sound at the moment :( | 02:28 |
| Devourer | burhan, how do I know if I have compiz running? | 02:28 |
| derrich | tonsofpcs: even though using the Sound app within gnome works | 02:28 |
| tonsofpcs | derrich: kill pulse and try | 02:28 |

| Sanketsu | When transferring files to my PSP It's speedy up until it reaches about 250mb then it crawls at about 10ish Mb/s until the transfer is complete. It's detected as a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed device, it's got plenty of room on the Memory Stick. Anyone have any ideas? | 02:35 |
| burhan | WDC: run that command from the shell, then run sudo update-manager -d | 02:35 |

| matthias_N | WDC: No i mean i do not want to see the 1:st screen saying gruo loading for instance ... | 02:38 |
| Tallon | I have it working, until i load up windows on my internal HDD then when i try to boot off of teh external HDD it still boots windows | 02:38 |
| odinsbane | There is a package there that isn't available in the standard ubuntu repositories, and it is for hardy. | 02:38 |
| matthias_N | WDC: grub loading, please wait | 02:38 |
| WDC | matthias_N: Not sure about that. Sorry | 02:38 |
| Obsidieth | mm | 02:38 |
| Obsidieth | mine doesnt work very well | 02:39 |
| bravo7 | Is there a widget or something in 'Add to Panel' that locks any mouse movement or key strokes | 02:39 |
| Obsidieth | i can only boot windows if the external is turned on. | 02:39 |
| derrich | ok ... so pulseaudio is definitely being launched when i log my account in. i can use the sound app and click "Test", and i hear output. however, using "mplayer -ao pulse <mp3file>" doesn't put out any audio, and neither does "mplayer -ao alsa <mp3file>" | 02:39 |
| Obsidieth | otherwise the bootloader doesnt work | 02:39 |
| njbair | i would love to find a list of all the packages which are installed by default in hardy. does it exist? | 02:39 |
| WDC | burhan: May I have to stop LAMPP (Server with MySQL) to make it work/ | 02:39 |
| matthias_N | i have an trash bin that i can not remove files from , any suggestions | 02:39 |
| mutk | njbair, Do a default install and get a list of the packages that result? | 02:40 |

| minus198 | Hi.. I have a builtin webcam in my laptop. 064e:a110 Suyin Corp. It's supported by the Linux UVC drivers which I have installed. The webcam works with Cheese, Skype. But the videorecording in Cheese is speedy. So I wanted to try camorama, but it says: Could not connect to /dev/video0. What should I do? | 02:40 |
| WDC | No command named dpk. sorry | 02:41 |

| bravo7 | Is there a widget or something in 'Add to Panel' that locks any mouse movement or key strokes | 02:41 |
| odinsbane | minus198 maybe your camera isn't named /dev/video0 ... see what cheese uses. | 02:42 |
| WDC | burhan: What was that command to get minimal? | 02:43 |
| WDC | I think I got MySQLd stopped | 02:43 |

| bravo7 | Is there a widget or something in 'Add to Panel' that locks any mouse movement or key strokes or Gnome panel needs the ability to lock | 02:45 |
| minus198 | odinsbane> Ehm.. Now all of a sudden, the camera doesn't even work with cheese... | 02:45 |
| derrich | bravo7: if it locked all keyboard/mouse activity, how would you unlock it? | 02:45 |

| zcat[1] | do any of the SIP clients use pulseaudio.. everything I've tried so far won't share nicely.. I can't get calls if anything else is playing.. I can't hear anything else once on a call, etc... | 02:54 |
| WDC | burhan: You think irssi will be cool if it is left open? | 02:54 |

| pawan | how | 02:55 |
| quentusrex | How do I configure samba to allow anyone who has the proper login info to be able to edit files on my shares? | 02:55 |
| danbhfive | pawan: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:55 |
| bazhang | pawan, flash or shockwave | 02:55 |
| quentusrex | currently there is read only access to my samba shares.... | 02:55 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 02:55 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: or clicking the 'puzzle' icon should work just like in 'doze | 02:55 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: if it's not working, you might actually be looking at a shockwave applet, and there's no Linux shockwave plugin :( | 02:56 |
| pawan | shockwave | 02:56 |
| bazhang | pawan, no shockwave for linux. | 02:56 |
| pawan | i want to use this site in firefox miniclip.com | 02:57 |
| Elijah | does ubuntu support zip extraction? | 02:57 |
| pawan | then | 02:57 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: You can install wine, then the windows version of Firefox, and use the windows shockwave plugin. That'sa little painful though | 02:57 |
| WDC | pawan: LISTEN. YOU CANNOT USE SHOCKWAVE IN LINUX. We have said it many times | 02:57 |
| zcat[1] | most of the miniclip games are just flash | 02:57 |
| pawan | i did that but firefox in crashing | 02:57 |
| bazhang | WDC, caps | 02:57 |
| WDC | bazhang: Yah I know, but they were appropriate :) | 02:58 |
| zcat[1] | WDC: calm down. | 02:58 |
| bazhang | pawan, cannot do it. | 02:58 |
| WDC | zcat[1]: Sorry | 02:58 |
| bazhang | pawan there is 0% chance of that working. | 02:58 |
| WDC | less than 0% | 02:58 |
| zcat[1] | WDC: not really appropriate. My kids play games on miniclip all the time, using ubuntu 8.04.1, Firefox 3.0, anf the linux flash plugin... | 02:58 |
| Slade | Someone needs to go and fetch me a beer | 02:59 |
| WDC | zcat[1]: Those are flash, not shock | 02:59 |
| * WDC gets beer for Slade | 02:59 | |
| bazhang | Slade, offtopic. | 02:59 |
| mrpiracy | can anyone point me to a guide on how to install drivers for geforce 8600gt? | 02:59 |
| zcat[1] | the majority of those games are plain flash.. I think a few might be shockwave but it's never been a problem here | 02:59 |
| Felipe1 | Good evening! | 02:59 |
| bazhang | take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:59 |
| pawan | then why am i not able to play | 02:59 |
| Slade | bazhang: okay...sorry *pouts* | 02:59 |
| mmmiiikkkeee | is there a way in gnome to make it so that after resuming from suspend your session is not locked? | 02:59 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: presumably the flash plugin didn't get installed correctly. | 03:00 |
| cooldman69 | hows everybody doin tonight | 03:00 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Firefishe | ||
| pawan | it says it is already installed | 03:00 |
| cooldman69 | everybody doin okay with tux? | 03:00 |
| bazhang | cooldman69, this is not a chat channel | 03:00 |

| quentusrex | can someone help me debug a samba share? | 03:01 |
| weternal | hello I'm setting up a new download of hardy for a friend and I'm trying to get it to recognize her wireless card | 03:01 |
| quentusrex | I can't figure out why users who have the proper login info can't write to the share... | 03:01 |
| zcat[1] | anyhow, my suggestion would be to remove and reinstall the flash plugin. If that fails, there's a way to download extract and install the .so manually. I think !flash tells you how | 03:02 |
| weternal | can someone give me some help with how to set up a wireless card | 03:02 |
| bazhang | !wifi | weternal | 03:02 |
| ubottu | weternal: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:02 |
| pawan | it is saying shockwave is required and not flash | 03:02 |
| bazhang | pawan, there is your answer then; wont be playable by linux. | 03:03 |
| pawan | oh no | 03:03 |
| bazhang | !dualboot | 03:03 |

| bazhang | pawan dualboot | 03:03 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: Ahh, in that case the easiest option is wine/firefox and the windows-shockwave plugin | 03:03 |
| pawan | i did that but firefox in crashing | 03:03 |
| pawan | in wine | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: the other option is a 'wintendo' boot for playing games in.. | 03:04 |
| pawan | how | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | or virtualbox. | 03:04 |
| StephenF | I just got kicked out of Gnome back to black screen console... Is there any way to recover my Gnome session? | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: what ubottu just said | 03:04 |
| bazhang | !vm | pawan | 03:04 |
| ubottu | pawan: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | pawan: many options, see ;) | 03:05 |
| StephenF | I tried to restart gdm from console, and now I have a blank black screen... | 03:05 |
| bazhang | pawan: you need to read some of the links given to you. | 03:05 |
| weternal | when you're setting up a dual boot which partition option do you want to use? | 03:05 |
| danbhfive | weternal: manual | 03:06 |
| Felipe1 | I installed ubuntu yesterday and on my laptop and everything was detected but the wireless card. Googling the topic I found a way to solve it using winXP driver and, alternatively I could install the previous kernel which seemed to have support to my wireless device (Realtek 8185). I opted for the latter, which solved the issue with wireless but the kernel didn't identify my sound card (ATI SB450). Should I go back and intall the WinXP | 03:06 |
| weternal | what do I do after I pick manual for the dual boot partition? | 03:06 |
| bazhang | !info ndisgtk | 03:06 |
| ubottu | ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.3-1 (hardy), package size 20 kB, installed size 344 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 03:06 |

| weternal | do I want to edit the current partition? | 03:07 |
| mmmiiikkkeee | is there a way in gnome to make it so that after resuming from suspend your session is not locked? | 03:07 |
| bazhang | wpcvenom, could you paste the entire error to paste.ubuntu.com | 03:07 |
| Felipe1 | ubottu: that's what I was going to do...is it worth installing the WinXP driver? | 03:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:07 |
| Felipe1 | quite smart, though | 03:08 |
| weternal | um which option do I select in manual partition should I choose? | 03:08 |

| danbhfive | weternal: dual boot? how big is the disk? and how much ram do you have? | 03:11 |
| weternal | yes | 03:11 |
| Felipe1 | zcat[1]: I couldn't find an alternative to that, though | 03:11 |
| weternal | the disk is 40 gig | 03:11 |
| weternal | 1 gig ram | 03:11 |
| zcat[1] | Felipe1: what wifi? | 03:12 |
| bazhang | weternal, you need swap, / , and perhaps /home | 03:12 |
| Harley^ | Can someone point me to very clear instructions to get a new install of UbuntuStudio on a AMD 64 to be able to watch flash files using Firefox on Websites such as those on Youtube or Google Video ? | 03:12 |
| cooldman69 | you dont need a swap | 03:12 |
| cooldman69 | i dont have one | 03:12 |
| bazhang | cooldman69, technically true | 03:12 |
| bazhang | however we advise new users to make one | 03:12 |
| cooldman69 | well then again i have 4Gb of ram | 03:12 |
| Felipe1 | zcat[1]: I have to pick between wireless (Realtek 8185) or sound (ATI SB450) working....each kernel I've identify one but not the other | 03:13 |
| zcat[1] | !flash | Harley^ | 03:13 |
| ubottu | Harley^: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 03:13 |
| bazhang | especially with only 1 gb o ram | 03:13 |
| cooldman69 | yeah true | 03:13 |
| bazhang | weternal, following so far | 03:13 |
| danhs | I'm having a weird situation. I can't connect to my laptop via ssh at all | 03:13 |
| danhs | I'm totally puzzled as to why this is happening | 03:13 |
| weternal | ok | 03:13 |
| danhs | can't make heads or tails of it | 03:13 |
| weternal | it says /dev/hda1 | 03:13 |
| bazhang | weternal, do you need to hibernate, etc | 03:13 |
| danhs | I can ping it, but when I do a port scan from my desktop I get nothing | 03:13 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: is sshd running? | 03:13 |
| weternal | and the type is nfts | 03:13 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: I think so | 03:14 |
| weternal | and I'm not sure how to break it up into two pieces | 03:14 |
| Gregor | aaron_carter: What about if i have the file on dyskopt becuase now the command dont work | 03:14 |
| danhs | port scan on local machine works | 03:14 |
| Harley^ | !Gnash | Harley^ | 03:14 |
| ubottu | Harley^, please see my private message | 03:14 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: you can ssh to it from itself? | 03:14 |
| bazhang | weternal, have you backed everything important up? if not, do so NOW. | 03:14 |
| weternal | yes | 03:14 |
| weternal | it's already backed up | 03:14 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: run "pgrep sshd" and if you don't get any numbers, then it isn't running | 03:14 |
| Harley^ | !Restricted | Harley^ | 03:14 |
| ubottu | Harley^, please see my private message | 03:14 |
| weternal | got it on a flash drive | 03:14 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: htop says it's running | 03:15 |
| komila | pm me any one | 03:15 |
| Elijah | slade, thanks, is bzip2 ro gnu zip better? | 03:15 |
| reportingsjr | in terminal, what key combination is ^D? | 03:15 |
| bazhang | komila, about what | 03:15 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: and you didn't inadvertanly enable the firewall or install firestarter? | 03:15 |
| Gregor | aaron_carter: What about if i have the file on dyskopt becuase now the command dont work | 03:15 |
| vasilisa | Anyone know if ktorrent has a plugin somewhere that turns torrents off and on periodically? Because doing that seems to get past the bandwidth throttling Comcast is (now illegally) doing | 03:15 |
| aaron_carter | Gergor: dyskopt? | 03:15 |
| === Alvin_FN is now known as girlll_16_cutezz | ||
| aaron_carter | Gregor: desktop? | 03:15 |
| weternal | @bazhang | 03:15 |
| Slade | Elijah: i prefer gzip | 03:15 |
| Gregor | aaron_carter: yes xd | 03:15 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: very possible. I don't know how or how I could disable it | 03:15 |
| weternal | @bazhang so what do I do next | 03:15 |
| bazhang | weternal, yes | 03:15 |
| weternal | I selected the manual partition | 03:16 |
| aaron_carter | Gregor: mv /home/Gregor/Desktop/somefile.tar.gz /var/www/ | 03:16 |
| bastid_raZor | vasilisa; you can set time limits then change them after they have reached said time limit | 03:16 |
| Elijah | slade, k thanks | 03:16 |
| bazhang | weternal, have you really read nothing before today on this? this is a pretty dicey deal for a new user. | 03:16 |
| weternal | oh I already have ubuntu installed on my computer | 03:16 |
| weternal | I've partitioned my own disk | 03:16 |
| vasilisa | bastid_raZor: Without editing the source? how do i do that :) | 03:16 |
| weternal | I'm trying to set it up for a friend | 03:16 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: run "cat /var/syslog | grep sshd" | 03:16 |
| reportingsjr | in terminal, what key combination is ^D?? | 03:17 |
| bazhang | weternal, then what are you trying to do. | 03:17 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: that should give you a clue to what is wrong | 03:17 |
| === Alvin_FN is now known as ika_16 | ||
| iv | ssss | 03:17 |
| weternal | I'm trying to partition the disk so that the computer will run hardy and xp in dual boot | 03:17 |
| bazhang | iv english please | 03:17 |
| jcarter | reportingsjr: ^D is CTRL-D | 03:17 |
| bastid_raZor | vasilisa; edit the source? you said to have some sort of on off switch for ktorrent.. ktorrent has the ability to turn torrents off after a time limit has been reached. | 03:17 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: uhhh I don't seem to have a /var/syslog file | 03:18 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: /var/log/syslog... sorry | 03:18 |
| vasilisa | bastid_raZor: Oh! *peeks around* | 03:18 |
| zcat[1] | weternal: install XP, then install Ubuntu.. just go with the default settings, it pretty much assumes 'resize windows, half and half, set grub to dual boot' by default | 03:18 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: how can I check about that firewall? | 03:18 |
| zcat[1] | !firewall | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 03:19 |
| iv | que pasa aquí | 03:19 |
| weternal | bazhang I'm in the install screen for ubuntu right now and I'm trying to figure out how to partition it | 03:19 |
| master_ | hi | 03:19 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: comes up with nothing | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: actually I'm not sure the easiest way ;) | 03:19 |
| Firefishe | Are their any advantages or disadvantages to installing ubuntu on a usb drive as persistent or non persistent? | 03:19 |
| weternal | bazhang it's asking me how I want to partition the disk | 03:19 |
| Firefishe | A link outlining both would be helpful. | 03:19 |
| iv | de que carajo hablan | 03:19 |
| bastid_raZor | vasilisa; to turn on a time limit in kTorrent per torrent.. left click the torrent then click status on the bottom tabs. you'll then the options to limit the torrent by share or time limit. | 03:19 |
| weternal | what do I want to do? | 03:19 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: can you run this command "ssh localhost" | 03:19 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: and log in? | 03:20 |
| vasilisa | bastid_raZor: But there's no way to make it restart without doing it manually i guess | 03:20 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: I'd start by doing what aaron says.. make sure sshd is actually rnning on the laptop, then work on reaching it from other places | 03:20 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: yes | 03:20 |
| bazhang | weternal, did you read that link? the part about manual partitioning is quite explicit. | 03:20 |
| danhs | can do it | 03:20 |
| danhs | I think I might have started ufw a while ago | 03:21 |
| bastid_raZor | vasilisa; correct, you have to change the time limit or share ratio. | 03:21 |
| danhs | I just did a synaptic search for firewall and found that that was installed.... | 03:21 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: hmmm.. | 03:21 |
| zcat[1] | !ufw | 03:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 03:21 |
| bazhang | weternal, otherwise I am just cutting and pasting from the link, which is silly. | 03:21 |
| danhs | I'd forgotten that I might have started it a long while ago | 03:21 |
| weternal | bazhang I might have missed the link, could you send it again | 03:21 |
| danhs | guess it became a regular startup.... | 03:21 |
| weternal | I'll just read that | 03:21 |
| vasilisa | bastid_raZor: Then its still easily to manually turn them off and on every time they get throttled *sigh* | 03:21 |
| danhs | lemme restart laptop and see what happens | 03:21 |
| vasilisa | *easier | 03:21 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: no | 03:21 |
| danhs | why? | 03:21 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: man ufw and find out how to turn all filtering off again.. | 03:21 |
| master_ | ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list | 03:21 |
| vasilisa | well maybe i should open the source | 03:21 |
| bastid_raZor | vasilisa; i've never heard of a torrent application have the ability you want. | 03:22 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: run "sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop" | 03:22 |

| vasilisa | bastid_raZor: Its too bad, because that kicks Comcast's mangey hide | 03:22 |
| Gregor | aaron_carter: how to unpack the file becuase when i use command i dont have premission to unpack the file there | 03:22 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: how are you supposed to discover processes running like ufw or something like that....just one of those things I'd forgotten.... | 03:22 |
| vasilisa | And gets my share ratio up, more importantly | 03:22 |
| aaron_carter | Gregor: sudo tar xzf somefile.tar.gz | 03:22 |
| poomalai | hello everybody... Please help me to get 5.1 output from my vlc player. I am using hardy. there is no 5.1 channel option in the audio menu even though the video has 5.1 channel.... Previously when i was using gusty the same video worked fine and got the 5.1 output... Please help me... | 03:23 |
| bastid_raZor | vasilisa; suggest that to the ktorrent team. you never know what they may think about it. | 03:23 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: "pgrep <process_name>" | 03:23 |
| danhs | wow | 03:23 |

| master_ | ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list | 03:23 |
| master_ | <vasilisa> well maybe i should open the source | 03:23 |
| danhs | I can connect again | 03:23 |
| vasilisa | bastid_raZor: I might look at the code myself as well nontheless ;3 | 03:23 |
| danhs | wow...unbelievable | 03:23 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: do I want to disable iptables like you were saying? | 03:23 |
| vasilisa | master_: As in, open it and edit it. | 03:23 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: sounds like you found another way of doing that, so probably not needed now | 03:24 |
| casao | Is there an easy gui app for configuring mouse buttons? | 03:24 |
| nico35- | i install xbmc in a ubuntu 8.04 and the window show me only a part, if i resize the window it also resize what is inside and there are still zones that i cant see, someone know what it can be? | 03:24 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: how are you supposed to discover weird running processse like this? | 03:24 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: I'd forgotten that I had setup ufw.... | 03:25 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: no just read up on iptables and allow localhost:22 | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | casao, like for theose mice with 10+ buttons? I saw a tool for that.. let me see if i can find it | 03:25 |
| WDC | Hey, I am updating Ubuntu to 8.04 and it has been hanging on "Searching for Obsolete Software" for a while. | 03:25 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: well, really I want to connect remotely using xdmcp | 03:25 |
| master_ | ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list | 03:25 |
| master_ | <vasilisa> well maybe i should open the source | 03:25 |
| danhs | I was reading in the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf that xdmcp is somehow dangerous. but I can't figure out why/how | 03:25 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: ufw isn't a process, it just sets ip firewall rules.. and iptables or ufw can tell you what the current rules are | 03:25 |
| casao | Dr_willis: specifically i have the MS Optical Wireless Notebook 4000, the horizontal scroll and thumb button are what i want | 03:25 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: oh... | 03:26 |
| num1_ | WDC: how long is a while? | 03:26 |
| WDC | ABout 10 minutes | 03:26 |
| poomalai | ping.... can anybody help me regarding vlc 5.1 channel problem? | 03:26 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: if you want to do remote desktop you need a better solution than xdmcp, try vnc server | 03:26 |
| derrich | I've been struggling with audio half-working for an hour or two now, and it's getting really frustrating. It looks like audio is only broken for my user account, it works just fine when I created a new user and logged in. Certain applications work fine, like firefox. Others like mplayer and amarok don't give error messages and act like they're playing audio without problems, but I never actually hear any output. The GNOME sound app | 03:26 |
| derrich | works fine, pressing "Test" produces the sustained beep through the speakers. anyone think they can help debug this? | 03:26 |
| master_ | who hepl me | 03:27 |
| num1_ | WDC: I'd give it another 10 mins just to make sure it's really frozen | 03:27 |
| master_ | ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list | 03:27 |

| Firefishe | What is the gui-based process manager for gnome in ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| Dr_willis | casao, check out http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ btnx lets you do all sorts of neat tricks | 03:27 |
| WDC | num1_: Cool. Okay Will do | 03:27 |
| Firefishe | equivalent to kpm in kde | 03:27 |
| casao | was looking for that in synaptic and didn't find it | 03:27 |
| casao | thanks | 03:27 |
| vasilisa | @grab master_ | 03:27 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: what's the benefit of vnc server? | 03:27 |
| master_ | yes | 03:27 |
| vasilisa | Oh that doesnt work here. | 03:28 |
| danhs | last time I tried vnc server it seemed much more complex | 03:28 |
| danhs | and less powerful too | 03:28 |
| zcat[1] | ssh -X >> vnc server | 03:28 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: the documentation is better too | 03:28 |
| chuckf | Firefishe, system manager might be what you want | 03:28 |
| zcat[1] | the main advantage with vnc is you can get to your linux desktop from windows. Other than that I generally use ssh -X | 03:29 |
| Firefishe | chuckf: Thanks, I'll give it a try. | 03:29 |
| Terrasque | zcat[1]: it rather depends on 1. that you run X on your client, and 2. that the app will not be running when the client machine is turned off | 03:29 |
| poomalai | i am struggling to get 5.1 output in vlc.please somebody help me | 03:29 |
| Firefishe | chuckf: What I need is a process table window. | 03:29 |
| master_ | ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list | 03:29 |
| master_ | <vasilisa> well maybe i should open the source | 03:29 |
| Firefishe | chuckf: Yep, that's it. Thaks | 03:29 |
| Gregor | aaron_carter: if i unpack the file how i can change the name of the folder to something that doesn't make sence to people can go there | 03:30 |
| Firefishe | Thanks | 03:30 |
| chuckf | Firefishe, np | 03:30 |
| vasilisa | I am going to throw something at master in a moment | 03:30 |
| aaron_carter | sudo mv somefile that_is_a_bad_ida | 03:30 |
| aaron_carter | Gregor: or sudo mv somefile anotherfile | 03:30 |
| Harley^ | What happens when the reload repositories FAILS ? | 03:31 |
| zcat[1] | Harley^: added a repo lately? | 03:31 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: ssh -X can do xwindows forwarding? | 03:31 |
| Harley^ | zcat[1]: I don't understand your question | 03:32 |
| Terrasque | danhs: thats what -X does | 03:32 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: yes.. but you need to be running an X-terminal | 03:32 |
| poomalai | In VLC media player there is no option for 5.1 output. Any ideas how to get around this..?:-( | 03:32 |
| [z]neo | guys can i use fonts from win to hardy, if so how can i add my favorite fonts to ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: if you are on windows, ssh -X will not work without an X-terminal program running | 03:32 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: yes, but as pointed out you need an xserver on the local machine to display it (so won't work for windows) and it gets a bit messy if you shut down the client without closing programs first | 03:32 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: ubuntu desktop to ubuntu lappy | 03:32 |
| carlos | hola | 03:32 |
| aaron_carter | danhs: should work without a problem | 03:32 |
| danhs | okay | 03:32 |

| Mr_Bad_News | how do i restart mpc so it will load music i've downloaded recently | 03:33 |
| jrib | tspike: check out 'man wmctrl' maybe | 03:33 |
| Dazed | how can i make a snapshot of my current system so if i screw something up i can get back to this base functional state easily? | 03:34 |
| Harley^ | When that instuction is followed, and I attempt to RELOAD the repostitories, there is a FAILED error | 03:34 |
| SNuxoll | Mr_Bad_News: you don't restart your MPC or MPD | 03:34 |
| SNuxoll | Mr_Bad_News: you have it update your library | 03:34 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how | 03:34 |
| SNuxoll | Mr_Bad_News: what MPC are you using? | 03:34 |
| zcat[1] | Harley^: hmmm. remove the repo you added, you should only need to enable universe/multiverse ... | 03:34 |
| Mr_Bad_News | idk | 03:34 |
| Harley^ | Also, the screen for UbuntuStudio looks VERY different from the screen shown inthe instructions | 03:34 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i just apt-get install it | 03:34 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i use ncmpc | 03:34 |
| Harley^ | zcat[1]: the screen for UbuntuStudio looks VERY different from the screen shown inthe instructions | 03:35 |
| Terrasque | Dazed: many ways. partimage for making a complete image of the partition. you can also make a copy of /etc and /home, and list out all packages installed. | 03:35 |
| tspike | jrib: will check it out | 03:35 |
| SNuxoll | Mr_Bad_News: hit Ctrl+U in ncmpc | 03:35 |
| zcat[1] | Harley^: that's also a problem.. I've never used studio so I'm just assuming it will work 'mostly | 03:35 |
| blackbinary_ | My mouse & keyboard turn off and on sometimes (more on then off, lol.) I get the message that each of these USB ports have disconnected (then they reconnect i guess), from syslog. Any idea whats going on? | 03:35 |

| master_ | ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list | 03:35 |
| master_ | <vasilisa> well maybe i should open the source | 03:35 |
| Dazed | i dont want a complete image of the partition, that takes too much space.. | 03:35 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: wow that's really sweet! just typing "nautilus" into ssh brings up the browser | 03:35 |
| Dazed | do etc and home contain ALL the mission critical files? | 03:35 |
| Mr_Bad_News | alright thanks SNuxoll | 03:35 |
| bliZZardz | does the Mac4lin plugin work well with Hardy? | 03:35 |
| Harley^ | Now install of a reload of 49 repositories there is a much lower number | 03:35 |
| danhs | zcat[1] aaron_carter: how could I do stuff like have access to gnome_do or whatever using typical keyboard hooks | 03:36 |
| danhs | is that possible? | 03:36 |
| bliZZardz | i want to know before i go ahead and install(and break my xorrg :P ) | 03:36 |
| danhs | as if it were a virtual machine on my desk..... | 03:36 |
| WDC | I see | 03:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a way to set a different picture for the splash image after grub loads | 03:36 |
| WDC | num1_: Still "searching" | 03:36 |
| zcat[1] | !xdmcp | 03:36 |
| ubottu | xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it | 03:36 |
| Terrasque | Dazed: depends on setup. It can put stuff in /var and /usr too, but.. um yea.. config, installed progs and user docs will be backed up that way. But partimage is if you want to make sure | 03:36 |
| Dazed | Terrasque: How do I list my packages? | 03:36 |
| num1_ | WDC: hm... this is a tricky problem to solve, any interruptions in the installation process could leave your system unstable | 03:36 |
| master_ | :( | 03:37 |
| WDC | num1_: how fun! lol | 03:37 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: you can do the whole login and session thing remotely with xdmcp .. see what ubottu said | 03:37 |
| Terrasque | Dazed: dont remember now. I'm sure some brilliant person here knows it. Was something with dpkg | 03:37 |
| WDC | num1_: Would being in VMWare change anything? | 03:37 |

| danhs | zcat[1]: I'm digging the X tunneling with ssh | 03:37 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: I'd just like to figure out how to have a full gdm session over ssh | 03:38 |
| num1_ | WDC: what does the installation window say? It should give some indication of what step you're on. | 03:38 |
| danhs | not just nautilus or whatever | 03:38 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: actually ignore what ubottu said, I think it's as easy as adding a package on the client and ticking 'remote login' on the server | 03:38 |
| WDC | num1_: ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 03:38 |
| Dazed | sweet thanks | 03:38 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: I did that....xnest | 03:38 |
| Dazed | last time i went editing a conf file it took me some hours to get er back up and running | 03:38 |
| danhs | but you and aaron_carter said that xdmcp is inferior to x tunneling | 03:38 |
| edju | Man, it's taking hours to grow a partition! | 03:38 |
| danhs | x tunneling seems nifty....I'd just *love* it if there was a way to tunnel a full gnome session | 03:39 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: hmmm.. xnest is a local login within a window.. or does it let you do remote logins too? | 03:39 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: seems like it allowed me to do remote login with terminal services client | 03:39 |
| SNuxoll | I still don't get why KDE seems to take up so much screen estate for me... | 03:39 |
| SNuxoll | argh, wrong window | 03:39 |
| blackbinary_ | My mouse & keyboard turn off and on sometimes (more on then off, lol.) I get the message that each of these USB ports have disconnected (then they reconnect i guess), from syslog. Any idea whats going on? | 03:40 |

| num1_ | WDC: do you mean running VMWare while installing or doing the installation on VMWare? | 03:40 |

| aaron_carter | danhs: i've only used vnc and its been no problem, there is a lot of documentation on it | 03:41 |
| Dazed | whats the proper syntax for this command, cause when i put this in, it doesnt create the "mypackages" file | 03:41 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i change the splash image after grub loads? | 03:41 |
| WDC | num1_: Okay then. I don't think anything will go bad if I restart NOW, but i'll let it run overnight just to be sure (10:41PM) | 03:41 |
| Dazed | dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 03:41 |
| danhs | aaron_carter: after I have x tunneling set, how can I use vnc tho? | 03:41 |
| casao | Is there a key code for scroll left/right? | 03:41 |
| Mr_Bad_News | and is there a place where you can get cool ones? | 03:41 |
| num1_ | WDC: iirc searching for orphaned packages is the last task of installation, since it's a non-critical operation you're right in saying there's no harm in restarting now | 03:41 |

| Mr_Bad_News | how can i change the progress bar after grub loads to the one in dapper? | 03:44 |
| num1_ | WDC: I would recommend restarting, so the changes can take effect | 03:44 |
| Mr_Bad_News | or something like in gentoo or knoppix | 03:44 |
| Flannel | !usplash | Mr_Bad_News | 03:44 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:48 |

To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubotu blacklist | 03:55 |

| zcat[1] | djlenoir: sounds like you plugged in or jumpered something wrong | 04:06 |
| Fredd | Gnea: i know, this is always happening to me with just sound..since the first time i installed ubuntu in my life | 04:07 |
| Gnea | Fredd: do you have a /etc/init.d/artsd ? | 04:07 |
| sven | zcat[1] no, is following...he appear a adware and want remove... | 04:07 |
| SilverStreak | Gnea: It's long, almost 500 lines: http://pastebin.com/d2d4cb057 | 04:08 |
| Fredd | Gnea: no | 04:08 |
| djlenoir | zcat[1]: I thought that something like that was possible also so I ditched all PATA devices and bought two new SATA hard drives and SATA DVD-RWs. I only have SATA devices now. | 04:08 |
| sven | zcat[1] the aoturun.ini emulate a image with the publicity | 04:09 |

| zcat[1] | sven: I'm a little puzzled. I didn't think ubuntu would autorun anything off a USB rive | 04:13 |
| wols | _numbers_: for a server, yes | 04:13 |
| Gnea | _numbers_: yeah | 04:13 |
| _numbers_ | thnx | 04:13 |
| SilverStreak | Gnea: I'll try a kernel update; it's not showing updates now but an apt-get update should show it | 04:13 |
| _numbers_ | ;) | 04:13 |
| Fredd | brb | 04:13 |
| bobertdos | Drood: Your second hard drive is NTFS, yes? | 04:14 |
| Gnea | SilverStreak: nod, i saw it show up today | 04:14 |
| Drood | correct | 04:14 |
| Drood | it is NTFS | 04:14 |
| bazhang | Gnea, that is in proposed, correct? | 04:14 |
| _numbers_ | will i be able to use a big screen tv lcd with this setup with no problems? | 04:14 |
| bazhang | _numbers_, sure | 04:14 |
| bobertdos | Drood: Go into a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l | 04:15 |
| _numbers_ | bazhang thnx | 04:15 |
| bazhang | np | 04:15 |
| sven | zcat[1] would can send a image for understand better? | 04:15 |
| Gnea | bazhang: errah.. how would i figure that? | 04:15 |
| djhash | bazhang: I thought the server edition doesn't come installed with Xorg.. | 04:15 |
| bazhang | sven, there is no adware for ubuntu | 04:15 |
| SilverStreak | Gnea: Was there ever a 2.6.24.20? I seem to have .19 installed, and it's not showing any updates yet | 04:16 |
| sven | bazhang, no ubuntu, but in my pendriver... | 04:16 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: do you require write support for it, or is reading/copying the files sufficient ? | 04:16 |
| Gnea | SilverStreak: i think they skipped it. this is what i'm showing: Version: 2.6.24-21.40 | 04:16 |
| bazhang | SilverStreak, only in the not fully tested proposed repo | 04:16 |
| SilverStreak | thanks guys. :D | 04:16 |

| djlenoir | If I have a 64-bit system, can I load 32-bit Ubuntu without a problem or should I download the 64-bit edition? | 04:18 |
| Gnea | bazhang: got used to having newer stuff when i used to run debian sid - i like the proposed because they're not quite as fragile | 04:18 |
| bazhang | djlenoir, sure | 04:18 |
| Drood | correct, thats part of the problem | 04:18 |
| Samus_Aran | djlenoir: I use 32bit Ubuntu on 64bit at home, and 64bit Ubuntu Server at work. both are fine | 04:19 |
| Drood | i know its connected well and everything cause right before switching to ubuntu it was there | 04:19 |
| Samus_Aran | djlenoir: if you use 32bit Ubuntu, you will have more application compatibility | 04:19 |
| Samus_Aran | djlenoir: e.g. Wine, games, 3rd party apps (Flash for example) | 04:19 |
| bobertdos | Drood: is it possible that Ubuntu's partitioner overwrote the partition? | 04:19 |
| Samus_Aran | djlenoir: and if you use 64bit, you will gain some speed and large memory handling | 04:20 |
| djlenoir | Ok thanks. I was thinking maybe 32-bit Ubuntu was having compatibility problems with my hardware. I guess that is not the problem. If I list my hardware details, will that assist in troubleshooting? | 04:20 |

| Drood | it wasnt a partition, its a whole separate ahrd drive | 04:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what does the + mean? | 04:20 |
| Gnea | Drood: then it's probably not /dev/sda | 04:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i set it to use fingerprint.so | 04:20 |

| ne00 | hi everybody. i have installed ubuntu on my new laptop (got it today, its an ACER ASPIRE 5570Z) but the wireless wont work. I have an Atheros wireless card. There is a solution online but the file they tell us to wget only contains a README file... nothing else!! HELP :( | 04:21 |
| Gnea | Drood: okay - here's a quick rundown on how linux handles devices: the /dev directory holds a ton of files that point to your hardware. /dev/sda points to your first hard drive (sometimes it's real SCSI and usually it's emulated), /dev/sdb would be the second, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd ... the numbers (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 ...) are your partitions on those drives | 04:22 |

| Gnea | Drood: so, you say you have more than one hard drive connected to the system? | 04:23 |
| Drood | yes 2 hardrives | 04:23 |

| Fredd | Gnea: hi | 04:23 |
| Drood | i dont rememebr, i just put the cd in, and installed, reformated the disk where ubuntu went into, the other i left alone | 04:23 |
| Gnea | Fredd: yo | 04:23 |
| bazhang | Drood, paste.ubuntu.com | 04:23 |
| Fredd | Gnea: so what u think my problem is lol? | 04:24 |
| Gnea | Fredd: well, is your onboard enabled as well? | 04:24 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: sudo fdisk -l | grep -i ntfs | 04:24 |
| Fredd | its always..dont even know to remove it | 04:24 |
| Fredd | is it possible to just disbale it out of the system completely? from bios or something | 04:25 |
| Drood | gnea, nothing happened | 04:25 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: that should list any devices which contain NTFS partitions | 04:25 |
| Gnea | Fredd: check your bios - i'm thinking that perhaps your alsa is set to use the other card as the default | 04:25 |

| Fredd | Gnea: nope..i checked asoundconf over and over | 04:25 |
| Fredd | Gnea: i even installed asoundconf-gtk to be very sure lol | 04:26 |
| Gnea | Drood: okay.... have you found the pastebin site alright? got another command i'd like you to run, but this one is a bit more intense | 04:26 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: paste that into your terminal on one line. it will ask for your password, put it in and hit enter again. then it will list some devices starting with /dev | 04:26 |
| Drood | it isnt | 04:26 |
| siriusnova | i have a question, i have ubuntu installed on my internal ssd on my 4gb eee pc, however i have an 8gb SD card, is there any way to "grow" the / partition so it uses the sdhc as well as the internal flash? | 04:26 |
| Gnea | Fredd: cat /proc/asound/cards <-- how many cards listed? | 04:26 |
| wols | siriusnova: lvm | 04:26 |

| siriusnova | wols? | 04:26 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: what do you mean by not responding ? | 04:26 |

| andrew232123 | do i gotta beg to get a simple answer? | 04:33 |
| bazhang | djlenoir, this is from livecd? | 04:33 |
| Gnea | Drood: that's a default thing - the -s flag allows you to increase the buffer (it hides it, it takes time to overwrite it) | 04:33 |
| bazhang | sven, then format the usb key | 04:33 |
| Drood | http://paste.ubuntu.com/37881/ | 04:33 |

| bazhang | sven I wont leave | 04:34 |
| sven | it emulation a driver what store all information autorun.inf | 04:34 |

| djlenoir | bazhang: This is from the 32-bit version of Ubuntu CD that I downloaded. It worked on my old crappy PC, but when I try on this new PC that is what I get (with other errors following) | 04:34 |
| Drood | is that one ok? | 04:34 |
| djlenoir | bazhang: I choose the try before installing option. | 04:34 |
| bazhang | djlenoir, try the alternate cd installer | 04:34 |

| andrew232123 | "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic" depends on "linux-generic" and vice-versa | 04:35 |

| bazhang | andrew232123, why do you need to remove that | 04:35 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: you are pasting the "dmesg" command, where is the "sudo fdisk -l" command ? | 04:35 |
| vnix | Someone help me please. How to solve the "can't mount volume" and previously it was ok (NTFS) and it's my external HDD. | 04:35 |
| djlenoir | bazhang: Ok I will search for the alternate install CD now | 04:35 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: we don't care about that anymore. | 04:35 |
| Drood | well the one where ubuntu is isntalled , the 80gb one is IDE, the secondary hard drive ,120gb is SATA | 04:35 |

| Samus_Aran | Gnea: why not ? all we need is the device name, then adding a line to /etc/fstab | 04:36 |
| wols | sven: ubuntu doesn't care about autorun.inf | 04:36 |
| bazhang | vnix, dont repeat so often | 04:36 |
| djlenoir | bazhang: thanks! | 04:36 |
| Gnea | Drood: okay - check your SATA cable to/from the motherboard - it might not be adjusted right or maybe the cable itself is bad | 04:36 |
| vnix | sorry bazhang I was trying to update my question | 04:36 |
| sven | bazhang??? | 04:36 |
| bobertdos | vnix: Did Windows crash the last time you were in it or did the drive get abruptly unplugged? | 04:36 |
| Drood | http://paste.ubuntu.com/37883/ | 04:36 |
| Drood | there it is | 04:36 |
| vnix | don think so | 04:36 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: yeah, if his SATA drive would show up correctly | 04:36 |
| bazhang | sven, just format the usb key. there is not autorun for ubuntu | 04:36 |
| bosan4edos | Hello people i need some program to make the Picture CLEAN plz !! i run ubuntu 7.10 | 04:36 |
| bazhang | sven ie no adware etc. | 04:36 |
| vnix | do I have to safely remove my portable drive in order to run in Ubuntu? | 04:37 |
| Drood | Gnea, it was working right before i installed this OS | 04:37 |
| bazhang | bosan4edos, use gimp | 04:37 |
| sven | yes, but i run shitWindows | 04:37 |
| bazhang | sven no cursing here | 04:37 |
| wols | sven: that's unfortunate but we don't support windows | 04:37 |
| Fredd | Gnea: alright where were you? i ran that command and i got 2 cards listed, i do know that 2 cards are listed but ofcourse 1 is selected | 04:37 |
| bazhang | sven that is not a problem for ##windows not here | 04:37 |
| Samus_Aran | Gnea: how do you know it isn't showing up, we don't have the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 04:37 |
| wols | Samus_Aran: we do | 04:38 |
| Samus_Aran | where ? | 04:38 |
| bobertdos | vnix: Well, not usually, but sometimes when a drive doesn't unmount properly from Windows, Ubuntu won't mount it afterwards because it's still flagged as busy. | 04:38 |
| wols | Samus_Aran: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37883/ | 04:38 |
| === Alvin_FN is now known as Alvin | ||
| sven | lol, i know...sorry, but this will have with windows? | 04:38 |
| wols | bobertdos: no. it's flagged as unclean | 04:38 |
| andrew232123 | bazhang, is there a reason why linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic depend on the linux kernel and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-generic dont | 04:38 |
| vnix | so how can i solve this in Ubuntu? thanks | 04:38 |
| bazhang | sven dont ask about windows here. | 04:38 |
| wols | sven: we don't care about windows problems here. ask ##windows | 04:38 |
| Gnea | Drood, Samus_Aran: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37885/ | 04:39 |
| bobertdos | wols: Well, same difference. | 04:39 |
| wols | bobertdos: no. busy is different from unclean | 04:39 |
| Samus_Aran | wols: okay. thanks. | 04:39 |
| sven | ok | 04:39 |
| Gnea | Fredd: try hooking speakers up to the other one, see if sound is coming out of it | 04:39 |
| Drood | that means it is connected right | 04:39 |
| Drood | the sata link up part | 04:39 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: at this point your best bet is to restart the computer and check the BIOS screen for hard drive detection, to make sure it is seeing your drive | 04:39 |
| wols | vnix: not well at all | 04:39 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: fiddle with the wiring if it does not see it | 04:39 |
| wols | vnix: at least if the partition is ntfs | 04:39 |
| Gnea | Drood: no, that means that something is wrong. | 04:39 |
| bazhang | andrew232123, you can check packages.ubuntu.com for a nice graphical representation of why that is the case | 04:39 |
| Drood | damn | 04:40 |
| sven | sorry, my issue don't was about those thing... | 04:40 |
| vnix | is it good If I make the partition become FAT32? | 04:40 |
| Drood | k, ill prolly be back, thansk for your help | 04:40 |
| sven | but about my usb flash...!!!!! | 04:40 |
| andrew232123 | thats going to tell me what i already know | 04:40 |
| bazhang | sven format it. | 04:40 |
| bobertdos | wols: I know, but it doesn't really make a difference for the sake of the question | 04:40 |
| Initial_M | hi guys, just want to ask if it necessary to install pulse audio manager, and if it is, what does it for? | 04:40 |
| andrew232123 | what depends on what | 04:40 |
| wols | sven: do you have a ubuntu problem happening in ubuntu? if not please stop asking | 04:40 |
| Drood | wait, could it just be im missing drivers for it ? | 04:40 |
| bazhang | sven, you have an answer. please stop repeating your question. | 04:41 |
| Gnea | Drood: try to refrain from swearing in here too, it's frowned upon (kids 'n all..) | 04:41 |
| Gnea | Drood: nope, the drivers are fine - it's a hardware issue | 04:41 |
| Drood | oo sorry | 04:41 |
| Gnea | no problem | 04:41 |
| sven | all right... | 04:41 |
| wols | Drood: depends on the sata controller | 04:41 |
| bobertdos | vnix: Nah, you don't want to do that. | 04:41 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: it appears that the drive lost its connection. just reboot and fiddle with wiring until the BIOS shows you the second hard drive, then boot back into Ubuntu | 04:41 |
| Drood | ok, ill check again, if that doesnt work, do you think changing the sata port would help ? | 04:41 |
| Gnea | Drood: it might | 04:41 |
| Drood | ok | 04:41 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: try that first, yes. often one port is faulty | 04:41 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: also swap power cables | 04:41 |
| sven | bye people... | 04:42 |
| sven | thanks | 04:42 |
| Gnea | good idea.. | 04:42 |
| Drood | ok | 04:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i remove a usplash image? | 04:42 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: you can do this to monitor the hardware as you fiddle with it live, if you like: | 04:42 |
| Initial_M | hi guys, just want to ask if it necessary to install pulse audio manager, and if it is, what does it for? | 04:42 |
| Gnea | vnix: FAT32 is... wrong. :) | 04:42 |
| Drood | i just find it weird that i had just put all my stuff into that hard drive specifically to have it when i insalled ubuntu | 04:42 |

| Gnea | Drood: it's possible that the cable came loose when you put it back together | 04:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Initial_M: by contrast, a lot of people are removign it and using ALSA, because of the problems it has caused | 04:43 |
| bazhang | Dazed, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish | 04:43 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: that will keep monitoring the kernel messages every half second, so fiddle with the cables and see if the drive reappears | 04:43 |

| Dazed | i need real people to harrass tbh | 04:43 |

| Initial_M | IndyGunFreak> because in my case before if i dont have pulse audio mngr. sometimes my sound is not working until now.. but much better if i have, so i dont know why it's like that | 04:45 |
| bobertdos | vnix: Well, Ubuntu doesn't really care what file system it is. It's more important where Windows is concerned. | 04:45 |
| Drood | !wow | 04:45 |
| Gnea | Drood: heh, no.. you can change the way the linux kernel handles the devices by re-routing the IRQs | 04:45 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: just open up the case while it's on, you won't hurt anything | 04:45 |
| Samus_Aran | Drood: our computer case is open 24/7 | 04:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Initial_M: don't know, i personally think pulse was not ready for Hardy, but i don't make those decisions, i've chosen to stick w/ Alsa | 04:45 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: no.. | 04:45 |
| Drood | k ill reboot, and go into the BIOS to see it the sata hard drive is detected. | 04:45 |
| Samus_Aran | Gnea: ? | 04:46 |
| sysdoc | Hey guys can someone direct me to some instructions on how to correctly use LABEL= in fstab? (need labeling to keep track of all the partitions...:) | 04:46 |
| Drood | and where would i monitor if the device is detected | 04:46 |
| vnix | so now I have to go to Windows and properly remove my drives and restart again in order to use my device properly is it? | 04:46 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: do you work in IT? | 04:46 |
| Samus_Aran | Gnea: why do you ask ? | 04:46 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: it's just a yes/no question. | 04:46 |
| Samus_Aran | the case is just a dust cover | 04:46 |
| Initial_M | IndyGunFreak = so what is the best way then, and thanks btw, is there a way for me to choose? | 04:46 |
| Samus_Aran | Gnea: one which I'm not going to answer to you without good reason | 04:46 |
| Samus_Aran | only thing you need to watch out for when dealing with the open computer is static discharge, which is fine to just touch the case beforehand | 04:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Initial_M: system/prefs/sound... then make sure your apps are set to use alsa(like pidgin, audacious, vlc, etc.) | 04:47 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: Because I do, and I am acutely aware of how dangerous opening a case while it's turned on. | 04:47 |
| zcat[1] | Samus_Aran: I generally aim to have one had on the case as long as I'm handling any othr component.. | 04:47 |
| Samus_Aran | Gnea: oh please, do enlighten me how opening a case is "dangerous" | 04:47 |
| Gnea | The case should be turned off, the power cord disconnected, and the flea power ejected before taking it off. | 04:47 |
| bazhang | take hardware chat elsewhere please | 04:48 |
| Initial_M | IndyGunFreak = tnx bro.. | 04:48 |
| Gnea | Samus_Aran: clearly, you are not a real tech. yes, let's just end this discussion now. | 04:48 |
| Goofer | well actually if you asked me it would be better to leave it plugged in but with the power turned off so it is still grounded | 04:48 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what can you use to open a .so file? | 04:48 |
| Mr_Bad_News | or edit it | 04:48 |
| Samus_Aran | Gnea: bull---. =) I've opened dozens of computers while they run, and have had 0 issues. they are fully grounded, PSUs are grounded, the motherboards are grounded. | 04:48 |

| slammed87d21 | bluescan | 05:05 |
| casao | qr: ah, yeah, Finch does it actually, but i would definitely prefer GUI | 05:05 |
| zcat[1] | slammed87d21: first of all; check that the same hing you're trying to install isn't vailable via repos.. because once you go out of package management it complicates all kinds of things forever after' | 05:06 |
| lap | hi | 05:06 |
| lap | i'm optimizing my services manager | 05:06 |
| JudasHimself | ok i removed the ubuntustudio-usplash but its still showing up | 05:06 |
| lap | can I disable dbus ? | 05:06 |
| lap | without any problems | 05:06 |
| slammed87d21 | what do you mean? | 05:06 |
| bazhang | !info bluescan | 05:07 |
| ubottu | Package bluescan does not exist in hardy | 05:07 |
| Pelo | lap, try from menu > system > admin > services | 05:07 |
| JudasHimself | i set usplash to fingerprint and its set in update-alternatives but studios splash image isnt and its showing up | 05:07 |
| JudasHimself | ? | 05:07 |
| lap | Pelo: I know.. | 05:07 |
| lap | I want to know if I can disable Dbus | 05:07 |
| newclimb2 | my computer doesn't recognize de projector when I plug on it anybody can help me? | 05:07 |
| Pelo | lap, sorry, no do not disable dbus | 05:07 |
| lap | why ?& | 05:07 |
| linuxadmin | <lap> I've read that dbus lets programs talk to each other "Cut n Paste" etc | 05:08 |
| Pelo | lap, controls external device I beleive | 05:08 |
| Bodsda | !info dbus | 05:08 |
| ubottu | dbus (source: dbus): simple interprocess messaging system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1.20-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 274 kB, installed size 804 kB | 05:08 |
| lap | linuxadmin: optional : ) | 05:08 |
| JudasHimself | oh its generating it for update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-15-rt | 05:08 |
| zcat[1] | lap: a working computer is 'optional' too ;) | 05:08 |
| lap | i surely can disable it | 05:08 |
| JudasHimself | how do i make it for 22-15-generic | 05:08 |
| JudasHimself | 15-rt isnt working for me | 05:08 |
| Bodsda | linuxadmin, optional means you can remove it and still have a computer that works, not remove it and have functionality as normal | 05:09 |
| alistair | Samus_Aran, sri whats hm? I found under xp suitable resident called winchat have installed Linpopup tks | 05:09 |
| Pelo | lap, you can safely disalble bleutooth, britty, powernowd | 05:09 |

| Pelo | amoug others | 05:09 |
| Pelo | c1rcuit, try asking in #xchat | 05:09 |
| zcat[1] | you probably shouldn't dissable initd though... | 05:10 |
| lap | Bodsda: if i show a screenshot of my services panels can you tell me if I'm ok ? | 05:10 |
| Samus_Aran | alistair: the only problem I have with linpopup and winpopup is that they need to be loaded up and run all the time to receive messages | 05:10 |
| xcaret08 | Hi. I am trying to run Ubuntu Server on a 16 core (4 socket, quad core) machine but I only see 8 processors when I look at /proc/cpuinfo. I am running 2.6.24-19-server. Any ideas what I might need to tweak? | 05:10 |
| Bodsda | lap, no, i dont know what your doing and i dont know how to disable dbus, i do know that its not a good idea | 05:10 |
| JudasHimself | how do i get usplash image to work with 2.6.22-15-generic and not 15-rt? | 05:11 |
| alistair | Samus_Aran, OK | 05:11 |
| JudasHimself | rt doesnt work for me | 05:11 |
| Bodsda | JudasHimself, hit it with a wip and threaten it | 05:11 |
| lap | Bodsda: not a good idea to disable "dbus" ? | 05:11 |
| Bodsda | lap, no | 05:11 |
| JudasHimself | shut up bodhi_zazen | 05:11 |
| lap | ok | 05:12 |
| lap | cpufreq ? | 05:12 |
| lap | acpid ? | 05:12 |
| lap | apm ? | 05:12 |
| qr | lap: why do you want to disable core services? | 05:12 |
| Pelo | lap, cpufreq controls the frequence of your cpu chip , if yo0u have a laptop that might be a good thing to leave on | 05:12 |
| qr | all of those things do fairly important things. | 05:12 |
| zcat[1] | JudasHimself: <tab><tab> | 05:12 |
| Pelo | acpid and apm leave on | 05:12 |
| lap | i do not have a laptop | 05:12 |
| Pelo | lap, feel free to disable cpufreq and powernowd | 05:12 |
| blizzardman1219 | what's the terminal command to start network manager in gnome? | 05:13 |
| lap | powernowd = cpu frquency manager | 05:13 |
| lap | =P | 05:13 |
| Bodsda | blizzardman1219, network-manager i think | 05:13 |
| JudasHimself | how do i choose a usplash image for a vmlinuz-2.6.22-generic instead of rt? | 05:13 |
| casao | Anyone here know anyything about Netbook Remix? | 05:13 |
| bazhang | !usplash | 05:13 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 05:13 |
| spiritssight | any one able help with installing drivers from ATI, there is no response in the #ati room | 05:13 |

| Bodsda | JudasHimself, man, pages are usefull | 05:13 |
| lap | thats what it look like now | 05:13 |
| JudasHimself | i know how to change the usplash image | 05:13 |
| lap | someone can take a look ? | 05:13 |
| zcat[1] | can you still hubernate or suspend your desktop without powernowd ? | 05:13 |
| blizzardman1219 | Bodsda: didn't work :/ | 05:13 |
| JudasHimself | how do i change it for generic and not rt | 05:13 |
| lap | zcat[1]: yeah | 05:14 |
| Pelo | !theme > JudasHimself check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 05:14 |
| ubottu | JudasHimself, please see my private message | 05:14 |
| Bodsda | blizzardman1219, dunno then, you using gnome? | 05:14 |
| lap | zcat[1]: thats acpid that control what you want | 05:14 |
| JudasHimself | update-alteratives --config usplash changes it for vmlinuz rt | 05:14 |
| lap | and apmd | 05:14 |
| JudasHimself | not generic which im using | 05:14 |
| JudasHimself | rt doesnt work for me | 05:14 |
| blizzardman1219 | Bodsda: yes | 05:14 |
| Pelo | lap, you want to leave the schedulers on | 05:14 |
| Bodsda | blizzardman1219, why dont you use the gui to get at it? | 05:14 |
| zcat[1] | not that my desktop likes being suspended.... but some handle it I think | 05:14 |
| JudasHimself | update-initramfs -u sets it for rt | 05:14 |
| JudasHimself | not generic | 05:14 |
| lap | someone told that i can remove this if my computer always on | 05:14 |
| lap | Pelo | 05:14 |
| JudasHimself | i removed a usplash image and its still using it | 05:15 |
| blizzardman1219 | Bodsda: i did a sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart and it disappeared :/ | 05:15 |
| Pelo | lap, the schedulers run commands at certain times, | 05:15 |
| lap | I know | 05:15 |
| Bodsda | blizzardman1219, why did you restart dbus? | 05:15 |
| Pelo | lap, I assume you don't want any internet ? | 05:15 |
| lap | But i think it's useless for 24/24 computer | 05:15 |
| blizzardman1219 | Bodsda: i was instructed to by this: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html#more-129 | 05:16 |
| Pelo | lap, you don'T want updates then I guess , fair enough , no cron and anacron then | 05:16 |
| Samus_Aran | does anyone know how to prevent Ubuntu from installing a package which causes problems ? so it will never be installed by apt/synaptic/etc. | 05:16 |
| zcat[1] | sheesh, if you really need performance that much just run puppy already! | 05:16 |
| antdedyet | anyone know what package to find the /sbin/hotplug binary in? | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | Puppy performance? Heh... | 05:16 |
| zcat[1] | !pin Samus_Aran | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pin samus_aran | 05:16 |
| Bodsda | blizzardman1219, ok so you logged out then back in yes? | 05:16 |
| antdedyet | I see it referenced in the kernel config. | 05:16 |
| zcat[1] | ummm.. almost. | 05:16 |
| zcat[1] | !pin | 05:16 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 05:16 |
| zcat[1] | actually no, can you blacklist packages?! | 05:17 |
| blizzardman1219 | Bodsda: no, i'll try that | 05:17 |
| Samus_Aran | !blacklist | 05:17 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 05:17 |
| Samus_Aran | darn | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | zcat[1], i dont recall ever hearing of being able to do that. | 05:17 |
| zcat[1] | don't look like it ;) | 05:17 |
| lap | Pelo: anacron and atd control the update manager ? | 05:17 |
| zcat[1] | can you pin a version of a package at 'none' | 05:17 |
| lap | for automatic update ? | 05:17 |
| Samus_Aran | winbind on a server prevents Samba from operating, I want to make sure it is never auto-installed. | 05:18 |
| lap | if I close anacron and atd, no more automatic update ? | 05:18 |
| lap | Pelo | 05:18 |
| Pelo | lap, they run scheduled commands, like hte update manager, rkhunter and so on | 05:18 |
| Bodsda | lap, they probably have something to do with checking for updated packages | 05:18 |
| lap | ok | 05:18 |
| zcat[1] | lap: if you turn them off, probably lots of things will break | 05:18 |
| Pelo | lap, and you want the loggers to stay on as well in case you have a problem and need to figure out what happened | 05:18 |
| Pelo | lap, you want to print ? turn cups back on | 05:19 |
| Bodsda | lap, why do you wanna turn off loads of core parts of the system, basically if you dont know what it does, dont touch it | 05:19 |
| lap | no | 05:19 |
| PPKuma | hi, do you guys know if its possible to make ubuntu set a proxy automaticly when connected to a specific network? | 05:19 |
| zcat[1] | I would be strongly inclined NOT to dissable crond about as much as i wouldn't turn off initd... | 05:19 |
| lap | dont want to print | 05:19 |
| lap | avahi-daemon | 05:19 |
| lap | can i disable this ? | 05:19 |
| Pelo | lap, do you want internet ? | 05:19 |
| lap | uh ? | 05:19 |
| lap | yeah. | 05:19 |
| lap | thats not for internet man. | 05:19 |
| Bodsda | !enter | lap | 05:19 |
| ubottu | lap: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:19 |
| Pelo | lap, dns discovery is not for the internet ? alrighty then | 05:20 |
| lap | that's for local network | 05:20 |
| zcat[1] | lap: actually it sounds like you might really like gentoo.... | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | I never have been clear on what avahi actually does.. | 05:20 |
| MaverricK | Anyone have any good suggestions for IRC chat clients for Ubutnu? | 05:20 |
| lap | apt-cache show avahi-daemon | 05:20 |
| Bodsda | MaverricK, go and ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots | 05:20 |
| Pelo | MaverricK, xchat vanilla, not xchat-gnome | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | !irc | MaverricK | 05:20 |
| ubottu | MaverricK: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 05:20 |
| lap | and you'll see that i will have internet without this | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | MaverricK, what one to use.. depends on your needs. | 05:21 |
| PPKuma | Maverrick, im quite comfortable with Konversation, Mibbit is pretty cool too, is web based. | 05:21 |

| MaverricK | Xchat gnome is what I'm using yah i might grab Konversations. I just need it basically to get access to an chat based online PRG i play | 05:21 |
| zcat[1] | lap: you do know that all the stuff you're not using pretty much gets swapped out after a while and has no real impact on performance at all? | 05:21 |
| tekteen | Hi, I am using stunnel to connect to a server with a self signed ssl certificate. How do I get the cert and create a pem out of it so I can authenticate the server when I connect? | 05:22 |

| Guest7187 | idk | 05:22 |
| Plutonian | Is there a better telnet client that I can hook up to xboard? | 05:22 |
| Guest7187 | no | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | djhash, i think the tools 'xrandr' and 'xvidtune' can tell you that info.. they can also set/change things..so be carefull with them | 05:22 |
| Plutonian | the default ubuntu client makes entering stuff difficult | 05:23 |
| casao | So does no one here know about Netbook Remix or UMELauncher? | 05:23 |
| MaverricK | Thanks folks I'll go give Konversation a try.. | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | djhash, example -> xrandr --> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050 | 05:23 |
| djhash | Dr_willis: thanks.. i'll give it a try.. | 05:23 |
| lap | acpid and apmd are useless or not ? | 05:23 |
| Guest7187 | im going back on konversation | 05:23 |
| Plutonian | if I'm talking, I can be interrupted midsentence by a message from the server and have to figure out where I was | 05:23 |
| hanif | I went from dapper to Gibbon, is there any glaring reason to upgrade further to say 8.04? General desktop with lots of VirtualBox use. Inel and Nvidia 5200 (I have had upgrades "break" before and just want a little heads up) | 05:23 |
| lap | i dont use power management settings at all | 05:23 |

| Foshizzle | gah | 05:24 |
| Foshizzle | i hate xchat | 05:24 |
| zcat[1] | hanif: in my experience, upgrades are pretty dodgy. I'd consider just doing a clean install or staying with what you have now.. | 05:24 |
| lap | ok | 05:24 |
| lap | someone can give me the default config for services with hardy please ? | 05:24 |
| lap | : ) | 05:24 |
| Plutonian | is it possible to access a telnet server with the text-entry area being separate from the received messages from the telnet server? | 05:24 |
| lap | screenshot or something | 05:24 |
| lap | I'll go back to default settings. | 05:25 |
| bullgard4 | Is there a program that uses the identifier 'MY FILE:' in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=172010? | 05:25 |
| Dr_willis | Plutonian, i recall some MUD clients being used that way... YEARS ago... :) | 05:25 |
| lap | to much things to know before disable something | 05:25 |
| Pelo | lap, just turn everything back on exept for powernowd , britty, cups and bluetooth | 05:25 |
| Dr_willis | Plutonian, but using telnet to irc? ick. :) cant use irssi for the terminal/console eh? | 05:25 |
| lap | and printers | 05:26 |
| lap | cause i dont have one | 05:26 |

| Demian | hi | 05:26 |
| lap | ok | 05:26 |
| lap | no bluwtooth | 05:26 |
| spiritssight | I am trying ot install drivers from ATI is there any one that can help? I have read the wiki and it was not successful please help me | 05:26 |
| lap | bluetooth too | 05:26 |
| Demian | i am trying to convert a .avi to .flv, but using ffmpeg the sound is not converted (or played). | 05:26 |
| hanif | yeah, I know that is for sure. I will source problem areas if I have to. Main reason for question. Old RPM hack, dependency hell is nothing new to me. lol. been a deb and tar man for about 10 years for that reason. Thanks for the info. | 05:26 |
| Demian | any idea? | 05:26 |
| venger | are the cli and cli-expert boot options supposed to work from the install CD? all i get is an error that the image or whatever isn't found and i did check isolinux.cfg to see that there wasn't any label with those names | 05:27 |
| zcat[1] | Demian: upload it to gootube then download it again with downloadhelper ;) | 05:27 |

| Demian | let's see | 05:27 |
| lap | pretty useless | 05:27 |
| tekteen | How do I get a self signed cert from a website and create a pem out of it? | 05:27 |
| Plutonian | sometimes I have to talk to people | 05:27 |
| lap | no ? | 05:27 |
| Pelo | Demian, search in the forum for convertit , it's a neat app for this stuff | 05:27 |
| tekteen | l3d, me | 05:27 |
| tekteen | !ask | l3d | 05:28 |
| ubottu | l3d: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:28 |
| djlenoir | Ok, so this is where I am at right now. I am trying to use the alternate install CD and I got similar errors that I got with the live CD. Although it did eventually get past that and it detected the 'us' keyboard and then it tells me it can't find a CD-ROM!?!? It is running from the CD-ROM but seems to think that I don't have one. This is whacked. | 05:28 |
| Plutonian | and it's annoying to be typing a sentence into the command line and have my sentence broken up whenever I receive a message | 05:28 |
| zcat[1] | Pelo: winff is pretty nice too. although from my experience converting avi's ought to work with ffmpeg unless the avi is somehow broken? | 05:29 |
| l3d | ok there is a couple of things I would like to know when I login or am browsing the pc i connect to does that mess the person on it? | 05:29 |
| IcemanV9 | djlenoir: did you md5sum the CD? to be sure it's not corrupted | 05:29 |
| antdedyet | win 22 | 05:29 |
| tekteen | l3d, no | 05:29 |
| antdedyet | whee | 05:29 |
| l3d | anext is there a way to open a chat like app with that person? | 05:29 |
| Pelo | djlenoir, from the live cd I think you can type F6 and then take out acpi from the boot string and that fixes the problem but I'm not 100% , chekc in the forum this is a known issue | 05:29 |
| antdedyet | any input on the hotplug binary? | 05:29 |
| casao | What's a good contact manager that supports SyncML, or an easy way to setup SyncML with thunderbird? | 05:30 |
| djlenoir | IcemanV9: No | 05:30 |
| casao | Bluetooth syncing is a must for that though | 05:30 |
| tekteen | l3d: there is no easy way | 05:30 |
| djlenoir | Pelo: I will try that next | 05:30 |
| Pelo | zcat[1], I think it's probably just a quesiton of getting the right option, convertit is just a gui frontend for ffmpeg , saves the trouble | 05:30 |
| Prose | samba problem: when I create a folder on the samba share, I can't write within the folder | 05:30 |
| zcat[1] | Pelo: so's winff .. | 05:30 |
| Pelo | zcat[1], but it's got w.i.n in the name, I'll have none of that ;-) | 05:31 |
| zcat[1] | admittedly it was written as a nice front end for MSDOS++ but it works in Linux too | 05:32 |
| * Pelo is still not sure what hangs his boot for 10-15 sec after the "loading manual driver" line | 05:32 | |
| zcat[1] | Pelo: dhcp ? | 05:32 |
| l3d | well I would like to have a app or somthing for network communication ? | 05:32 |
| PPKuma | hi, do you guys know if its possible to make ubuntu set a proxy automaticly when connected to a specific network? | 05:33 |
| tekteen | l3d, what do you mean? | 05:33 |
| Pelo | zcat[1], the next line when it finaly comes , ( with quiet diswabled) , is my lm-sensors module ident | 05:33 |
| mattgyver83 | I cannot get Evolution to download emails newer than may 2008 | 05:34 |
| Pelo | PPKuma, try asking in #networking , my guess would be yes, but don't trust me on this | 05:34 |
| PPKuma | ok, Pelo, thx | 05:34 |
| Pelo | mattgyver83, check your system date | 05:34 |
| l3d | ] well would like to open a dialog like window with the other pc on the lan , if it can be done with ssh thats cool | 05:34 |
| djlenoir | Pelo: You sir, are a genius! That worked!!! What is the impact of not using acpi? | 05:34 |
| mattgyver83 | sorry, I cannot get Evolution to download emails newer than may 2008 from my gmail account. * my system date is correct | 05:34 |
| tekteen | l3d, it is not really that easy | 05:34 |
| Pelo | djlenoir, no idea, I just saw the question and remembered answers from others in the past | 05:34 |
| tekteen | sorry | 05:34 |
| l3d | is there another way then | 05:35 |
| xcaret08 | Hi. I am trying to run Ubuntu Server on a 16 core (4 socket, quad core) machine but I only see 8 processors when I look at /proc/cpuinfo. I am running 2.6.24-19-server. Any ideas what I might need to change? | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | l3d, with samba and some sort of tool i recall its doable.. it could also be considerd a bit of a security issue. | 05:35 |
| AndreSTC | my ubuntu is not booting well. it freezes before i get to the login screen | 05:35 |
| lap | someone can screenshot me his "services" manager in "system, administration, services" pls (someone who never touch it, because i want to put it back with system default) | 05:35 |

| lap | it would be appreciated | 05:35 |

| rand0m- | soooo ubuntu has me ready to set my hair on fire. I guess flash support for it is pretty weak at the moment because basically any flv or swf video website i go to (youtube, metacrawler, funnyordie, etc) - just ends up closing the browser when i click on a video | 05:40 |
| Pelo | bravo7, if you are upgrading online, be very very patient | 05:40 |

| FAJALOU | i am trying to see all of the windows share in ubuntu. Currently i have to go to smb://down/users to see the share, but i used to be able to just navigate to smb://down and everything would show up... How can i make it so that everything thing shared on the downstairs is viewable to me under smb://down? | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | eligos, yep. I was amazed it worked. :) | 05:41 |
| Pelo | bravo7, you did not let it run the update manager during the upgrade process did you ? | 05:41 |
| bravo7 | Pelo ya | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, that may be the 'browseable' option for the share/server | 05:41 |
| bravo7 | Pelo i restart and updg to 8.04 | 05:41 |
| bravo7 | and now its say 'about 3 minutes remaining | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, at least i seem to recall the browseable option affecting that. | 05:41 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: how can i check? it's a vista machine... | 05:42 |
| Pelo | bravo7, that might be the issue, I 'm not sure how to recover from that , got a live cd handy just so you can reinstall if you need to ? | 05:42 |
| bravo7 | pelo rite now im looking for system monitor | 05:42 |
| FAJALOU | bravo7: it's gnome-system-monitor | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, no idea on that. My vista machines show all the shares. I know under the smb config for samba its the browseable option./ there May some hidden option for the shares under windows. | 05:42 |
| Pelo | bravo7, for future ref, better dl the cd and upgrade from that then from online | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, i do know that $namesshares are supposed to be hidden. | 05:43 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: i can see everything correctly on the vista machine, i cannot see the vista share on the ubuntu machine correctly | 05:43 |
| FAJALOU | vista seeing ubuntu is ok, ubunutu seeing vista is not | 05:43 |

| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, i use the fusesmb tools now a days to access ahres.. I cant rember the last time i tried the 'smb://' type feature of the gnome file manager. | 05:45 |
| Pelo | Kattman, assuming you have flash and java already installed, you might want to chekout the songbird forum | 05:45 |

| chazbot | cypherdelic: I'm not sure what maker, it's just an old eight-gig hard drive. | 06:29 |

| rkvirani | Anyone have any ideas? | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | Leefmc, the first line of the file #!/bin/bash vs /bin/sh now THAT matters. :) | 06:30 |
| Leefmc | Dr_willis: I know, im talking about standards. I could name it .py but thats sort of takin, and thats what im asking about .sh | 06:30 |

| natalisushka | Hello. Please, anyone knows a way to tar a .tar.gz file without having errors like "operation not permitted", please check results http://paste.mycodenow.com/view/1e31ff97 for extracting eclipse pdt all-in-one using "tar -xvvzf pdt-1.0.3.R20080603_debugger-5.2.14.v20080602-all-in-one-linux-gtk.tar.gz" ... | 06:31 |
| _vvd | ss23: man smbclient :) | 06:32 |
| rkvirani | natalisushka: you have to have permissions to where you are untarring it | 06:32 |
| rkvirani | tar -zxpvf filename.tar.gz will extract it | 06:32 |
| Kohlrak | Does anyone happen to know whether or not ubuntu (or even linux in general) auto frees memory alloated with malloc upon a sys_exit? | 06:33 |
| rkvirani | if you cannot install the pdt plugin, you have to have permissions to write to the folder (by the user running eclipse) to install a plugin | 06:33 |

| FAJALOU | zubair: open firestarter and tell it in policies to allow the program | 06:34 |
| rkvirani | natalisushka open permissions how do you know you have "open" permissions | 06:34 |
| natalisushka | rkvirani, what will -zxpvf exactly do? | 06:34 |

| Dr_willis | natalisushka, if its trying to set things executable, or special ownership. that may be the issue.. since fat32 cant have some of those things set. | 06:34 |

| chazbot | I'll have to check that X extension business, thank you all. Also, my video card is a Radeon, the restricted drivers tool tells me I need to download xyz driver. Everytime it tries to fetch it it sends back a 404 error. I tried to get the file from elsewhere and the package tool insists on getting it from the download center (which is apparently the place that doesn't have it) I can retrieve the driver's name if important | 06:36 |

| activefx | slavik: thanks, ill give that a try | 06:54 |
| frybye | re slavik I have installed gdeskapplets but find nothing in there relating to cpu speed? | 06:54 |
| FAJALOU | mio: madwifi is a good program | 06:54 |
| rgnr | slavik: I wanna know how to compile it ) | 06:54 |
| Intial_M | hi guys, is the new version of Pidgin have WebCam support? | 06:54 |
| slavik | Kohlrak: yes, but it isn't widely used, besides, there is the programming talk forum | 06:55 |
| crl | I want to send all traffic from eth0 to my wireless interface (ath0).. should I be looking into firewall rules or bridging? Basically, I am lost. | 06:55 |
| slavik | crl: not firewall rules, you are looking at bridging ... or to be more specific, routing :) | 06:55 |
| rgnr | so any1 can hlp me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ | 06:55 |
| frybye | slavik: how do I find the cpu-speed applet with gdeskapplet pal? | 06:55 |
| slavik | routing or NAT, so read up | 06:55 |
| dfgas | how do i reboot without rebooting? | 06:55 |
| Dr_willis | dfgas, Huh? | 06:56 |
| slavik | dfgas: how do I kill you without killing you? O_o | 06:56 |
| slavik | frybye: hmm ... open gdesklets and look for CPU related desklets | 06:56 |
| crl | thanks | 06:56 |
| Dazed | When will the next big release of ubuntu be? | 06:56 |
| dfgas | in gentoo or slackware you could init 1 or whatever then init 5 and almost kinda reboot | 06:56 |
| dfgas | is there a way to in ubuntu | 06:56 |
| frybye | slavik shure id did that but found nothing!? | 06:57 |
| slavik | dfgas: have you tried init? | 06:57 |
| slavik | frybye: hmm, it was a while since I used gdesklets | 06:57 |
| ubuntu-new | Hi.I define for my adsl connection 2 peer for tow account. How do I know which one is running in terminal(shell)??? | 06:57 |
| slavik | frybye: you just want to check CPU speed or want to monitor it all the time? | 06:57 |
| DarkMage2303 | hmm for sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tempt I get mount point /mnt/tempt does not exist.. better create it.. | 06:57 |
| dfgas | slavik, is it init 1? | 06:57 |
| frybye | there was supposed to be an addition load of applets in a gdesklets-data package but I am not sure where it is /how to access..? | 06:57 |
| dfgas | then init 5 | 06:57 |
| slavik | dfgas: yes, it is | 06:57 |
| slavik | no | 06:57 |
| dfgas | ? | 06:57 |
| slavik | init 2 is the default runlevel | 06:57 |
| frybye | i just want to see if the overclocking script i have is working? | 06:57 |
| dfgas | oh | 06:57 |
| === dmsuperman_ is now known as CheesyWeasel | ||
| slavik | and init 1 is not rebooting and not almost like rebooting either | 06:58 |
| === CheesyWeasel is now known as dmsuperman | ||
| dfgas | slavik, what would be then? | 06:58 |
| slavik | rebooting means unmounting all disks and unloading all drivers then telling the BIOS to reboot and loading a kernel image, etc. | 06:58 |
| dfgas | without rebooting | 06:58 |
| === konstanty_ is now known as konstanty | ||
| dfgas | oh | 06:58 |
| slavik | dfgas: init 1 ... I've already said that | 06:58 |
| cypherdelic | jason_: at least it works ;) | 06:59 |
| Dazed | What does compiling your own kernel do for you? | 06:59 |
| slavik | http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/img/16319-13.png | 06:59 |
| Dazed | That's the "infamous linux task (TM)" | 06:59 |
| cypherdelic | Dazed: make it smaller? | 07:00 |
| slavik | frybye: it's there ... but I don't remember the name :( | 07:00 |
| slavik | no | 07:00 |
| Dazed | yeah but like... how? | 07:00 |
| Dazed | do you strip out printer support or.. whats going on there | 07:00 |
| q_a_z_steve | Can anyone help with parallels demo install which didn't work? Never asked for my activation? Will pastebin error... | 07:00 |
| slavik | compiling your own kernel allows you to compile in the drivers for your hardware straight into the kernel and not as modules which have to be loaded | 07:00 |
| frybye | slavik: going to a-z appl list and also searching - nothing under "cpu" | 07:00 |
| Dazed | ohhhh | 07:00 |
| Dazed | is that faster? | 07:00 |
| shtoom | Hi, I've PS/2 to USB converter which I am using for connecting mouse and keyboard to my laptop running 8.04 when I connect this device after I login , mouse works properly but key board doesn't get detected, to make it work I've to connect it at boot time. Is there a way to make it work when iam already logged into ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| slavik | frybye: it was something like "blah blah CPU monitor" | 07:01 |
| slavik | or something | 07:01 |
| ubuntu-new | I define for my adsl connection 2 peer for tow account. How do I know which one is running in terminal(shell)??? any idea?? | 07:01 |
| jason_ | cypherdelic: it will work till the next upgrade to gdm... gdm is a the gnome display manager... not an XServer... .ignorance is bliss | 07:01 |
| frybye | slavik: is there a konsole command that will display the cpu-speed on a one off basis?? | 07:01 |
| cypherdelic | i dont think it will be faste rif the precompiled kernel also fits your system | 07:01 |
| slavik | frybye: yes | 07:01 |
| devo | hello, i was woundering, how would i know if someone is or already as hacked into my computer??? | 07:01 |
| frybye | slavik: and... it is ?? heheh | 07:02 |
| DarkMage2303 | In here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/unable-to-mount-usb-external-hard-drive-596525/) it says I have to use mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp and create the temp folder if it doesn't already exist, but I can't make any folders inside the mnt folder or drag and drop any files in it | 07:02 |
| frybye | dont make it so (Germ:) "spannend!" heheh | 07:02 |
| Ziroday | devo: when your bank account is empty, and you cant logon anymore | 07:02 |
| slavik | grep -i 'cpu mhz' /proc/cpuinfo | 07:02 |
| slavik | :) | 07:02 |
| devo | wtf does that mean ziroday??? | 07:02 |
| Dazed | DarkMage2303: Why? Try sudo? | 07:02 |
| q_a_z_steve | http://qazsteve.pastebin.com/d3a890307 | 07:02 |
| frybye | slavik: good - so that is all I need really I guess.. tks | 07:02 |
| Ziroday | devo: its sarcastic, look at your logs | 07:03 |
| cypherdelic | jason_: that might be true, but gdm loads xserver, so im on save side until the next update, dont tell me im ignorant, im asking for a better solation for day, for weeks, yes really for years, but nothing changed with that and nobody ever answered with something that could help, or did you, mr imthetrue-ignorant??? | 07:03 |
| devo | and how would i look @ my log's??? | 07:03 |
| slavik | DarkMage2303: install pmount and use "pmount /dev/sdb2" or whatever your USB device is | 07:03 |
| devo | i'm a noob when it come's with linux, i know a little bit here & there but not enough to get by | 07:03 |
| slavik | frybye: did you just want to check the cpu speed or see if the scaling actually works? | 07:04 |
| zcat[1] | !info pmount | 07:04 |
| ubottu | pmount (source: pmount): mount removable devices as normal user. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.16-4 (hardy), package size 84 kB, installed size 656 kB | 07:04 |
| Ziroday | devo: you have not been hacked, dont worry | 07:04 |
| zcat[1] | hmm, cool. how's that work? | 07:04 |
| jason_ | cypherdelic: gdm loads xserver? are you sure about that | 07:04 |
| devo | but how will i know if i have though, that's my ? | 07:05 |
| zcat[1] | devo: yes you have... | 07:05 |
| cypherdelic | jason_: i mean you dont have a better idea either, so whats your problem with me? | 07:05 |
| slavik | zcat[1]: pmount is just like mount but you don't need to use sudo or stuff like that | 07:05 |
| devo | ??? | 07:05 |
| zcat[1] | handy | 07:05 |
| slavik | zcat[1]: yeah | 07:05 |
| zcat[1] | devo: you're paranoid. but are you paranoid enough? | 07:05 |
| === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire | ||
| DarkMage2303 | Dazed, it still won't let me create the folder | 07:06 |
| jason_ | cypherdelic: cause i was trying to help you and you told me to stop bugging you cause i wasnt helping ... i know the correct solution and you didnt want to listen.... so suffer when it breaks again and dont learn something... and be ignornant | 07:06 |
| cypherdelic | jason_: im not sure of it, but it worked for me this way in the past and this time too. because when i logon into console and call /etc/init.d/gdm start then xserver starts so,.....? | 07:06 |
| devo | i'm for real, can u tell me something, to know if someone has been hacked??? | 07:06 |
| slavik | devo: if someone already hacked your computer, they already have all the info ... so you're either screwed or not hacked yet | 07:06 |
| DarkMage2303 | scott@scott-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdal /mnt/tempt mount: mount point /mnt/tempt does not exist | 07:06 |
| Dazed | try something else then | 07:06 |
| legend2440 | DarkMage2303: sudo mkdir /mnt/temp | 07:06 |
| devo | instead of dick'n me around | 07:06 |
| Dazed | there was another link in that thread | 07:06 |
| zcat[1] | devo: chk4rootkit I think, there are some others | 07:06 |
| Dazed | to a how to of mounting usb externals | 07:06 |
| Dazed | or try to make the folder from the command line if you havent alrady | 07:07 |
| cypherdelic | jason_: ok im sorry for that but you said: cypherdelic: of course i understand. what you want is to use the configuration tool to write you a new xorg.conf file so that xorg starts with your new settings. unless you want to edit the xorg.conf file by hand | 07:07 |
| slavik | devo: good hackers don't leave traces and if you're paranoid, look into snort | 07:07 |
| zcat[1] | devo: also just looking at /var/log/auth.log occasionally is a good idea | 07:07 |
| cypherdelic | and no you understand me wrong, that was NOT what i want | 07:07 |
| devo | i'm new when it come's with linux, remeber so i don't know what ur talk'n about, srry | 07:07 |
| cypherdelic | i told ya what i want | 07:07 |
| slavik | devo: when someone says look into "blah", you type "blah" into google and start reading :) | 07:08 |
| zcat[1] | devo: ubuntu is pretty secure by default, if you're not adding publically accessable services like apache or ftp I wound't be too worried about it | 07:08 |
| Dazed | bull | 07:08 |
| slavik | devo: there is no "has been hacked" flag in any OS ... and to know if someone compromised a system, even years of SA experience might not be enough | 07:08 |
| Dazed | im in devo's root right now | 07:08 |

| Dazed | anyone want credit card info? | 07:08 |
| slavik | zcat[1]: why would you add ftp? | 07:08 |
| cypherdelic | not to modify my xorg.conf by hand | 07:08 |
| DarkMage2303 | quite* | 07:08 |
| devo | but what about bit torrent clint's though? | 07:08 |
| dexter | website applets are not loading properly..can anyone suggest a solution | 07:08 |
| Dazed | jk | 07:09 |
| slavik | Dazed: no, his credit score is terrible, I checked. | 07:09 |

| Dazed | oh no | 07:09 |
| Dazed | im not wearing pants | 07:09 |
| slavik | devo: what about them? | 07:09 |
| dexter | website applets are not loading properly..can anyone suggest a solution | 07:09 |
| jason_ | cypherdelic: because it doesnt work that way... but you hacked a solution... and kudos to you.... | 07:09 |
| slavik | dexter: 32bit or 64bit? | 07:09 |
| dexter | slavik; 64bit | 07:10 |
| devo | r they secure? | 07:10 |
| slavik | dexter: that your name or is the nick after someone else? | 07:10 |
| Dazed | like the show | 07:10 |
| Dazed | dexter is the win | 07:10 |
| devo | & i did read what u said about me that my credit is bad wtf is up with that?!?!?! | 07:10 |
| dexter | slavik; my name....y?? | 07:10 |
| slavik | dexter: your only choice is to isntalled icedtea jdk7 plugin, but I couldn't get it to work, so I don't have java applets either | 07:10 |

| matehortua | hi everyone | 07:11 |
| slavik | one of them | 07:11 |
| DarkMage2303 | Hi everybody! (Hi doctor Nick!) | 07:11 |
| dexter | slavik; i dunno abt that... | 07:11 |
| slavik | R0b0t1: it's called sudo | 07:11 |
| cypherdelic | jason_: hm i hacked it, i dont think so, so nobody else has a antialiased cube, thats imposibble i found this on a forum some time ago (that its possible this wa), why is not maintainable, please? | 07:11 |
| slavik | dexter: look it up, it's nice | 07:11 |
| Dazed | i have antialiased cube | 07:11 |
| dexter | slavik; https://www14.software.ibm.com/dldirector/tq04i.html this site is not loading | 07:11 |
| dexter | slavik; thanq | 07:11 |
| R0b0t1 | I know about that... But... argh | 07:11 |
| zcat[1] | devo: well, as a rule the problem with things like that in windows is that it's easy to download a program instead of the file you wanted, and accidentally run it.. linux makes it much harder to accidentally run programs if you do download one, and also simply won't run windows trojans anyhow.. and there aren't really any linux trojans or viruses | 07:11 |
| slavik | dexter: doesn't work for me either :) | 07:12 |
| slavik | zcat[1]: there are, just nobody cares to use them :P | 07:12 |
| matehortua | how can i maintain a program running after it (the program) is stoped (i.e Control+c ) | 07:12 |
| zcat[1] | slavik: for all practical purposes there aren't .. a few dozen cf. many millions? | 07:12 |
| cypherdelic | i mean nvidia-settings -l loads antialiasing when forced to all apps even xserver, whats the problem maintainig this, i dont get that | 07:13 |
| matehortua | each time it stops how to retart it automatically?? | 07:13 |
| DarkMage2303 | I keep getting You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. - even though I am using a Administrator account, and it doesn't ask for any password | 07:13 |
| slavik | zcat[1]: the other problem is that it is possible to defeat ActiveX in IE and install and unsigned components that can run arbitrary code in administrator mode, even if you set it to not download/install any ActiveX | 07:13 |
| devo | so u r say'n that if i download music, movies, games, & programs i will NOT get some form of a virus??? | 07:13 |
| cypherdelic | uh bad my monster of graphic card does fsaa by default ;) | 07:13 |
| slavik | devo: you could | 07:13 |

I have ubuntu x64 8.04 and I recently installed FireFox3 + flash in wine which hosed my screen after attempting to watch "I Survived A Japanese Game Show"... now ubuntu starts and there is no desktop, no GUI, no nothing. The good thing is that I can actually start a terminal window and execute commands. Could anybody help me figure out how to restore it? | 07:13 |
| jason_ | cypherdelic: i seriously have better things to do... you got it to work... kudos | 07:14 |
| slavik | devo: it's called "exercising caution" | 07:14 |
| zcat[1] | slavik: that's not really a torrent issue though.. but yes, security in general | 07:14 |
| FAJALOU | DarkMage2303: you need to open up the file with sudo permissions | 07:14 |
| cypherdelic | kudos? | 07:14 |
| slavik | cypherdelic: aka props | 07:14 |
| slavik | as in "hats off to you" | 07:14 |
| devo | bu how, that's my ? | 07:14 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: are you there? | 07:14 |
| zcat[1] | devo: you pretty much need to go out of your way to find anything and set about running it as a program... | 07:14 |
| cypherdelic | ok thanks but i have to thank you anyone for beeing kindly | 07:14 |
| Drood | hi | 07:14 |
| slavik | cypherdelic: you're welcome | 07:15 |

| DarkMage2303 | I am trying to get it so I can use my external hard drive and it is the /etc/fstab file | 07:16 |
| zcat[1] | slavik: Really? I've seen people deliberately try and fine one that will even run and spread.. most windows viruses use undocumented stuff and just don't work well or at all in wine | 07:16 |
| Dazed | thedude: What color is your blank desktop? | 07:16 |
| FAJALOU | sudo gedit /etc/fstab in terminal will open up fstab in gedit w/ sudo privs | 07:16 |

| cypherdelic | ;))) | 07:17 |
| slavik | Dazed: openbsd is not linux, openbsd is a bsd derivative | 07:17 |
| zcat[1] | devo: but generally no, viruses in linux are simply not a problem. | 07:17 |
| devo | lol | 07:17 |

| devo | i know very little of the terminal commands but still learn'n them though | 07:19 |
| zcat[1] | devo: just run it, stick to packaged software, and be as stupid as you like.. I visit all kinds of 'attack sites' and never picked up anything malicious... | 07:19 |

| FAJALOU | !ask | RootRat | 07:22 |
| ubottu | RootRat: 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. :-) | 07:22 |
| contarc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/37906/ | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willi1 | zcat[1]: friend at work had to reisntall windows after visiting a Pro-wrestling site, that had been haxxored. :) | 07:22 |
| devo | what about download'n movies, music, & games from torrent sites??? | 07:22 |
| Mitesh | slavik: anyidea? | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: warez is not a good idea. :) | 07:23 |
| FAJALOU | !virus | devo | 07:23 |
| ubottu | devo: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 07:23 |
| zcat[1] | Dr_Willi1: the reg mentioned one, the most agressive bit of extortionware/fake_av they've ever seen.. I went there and nothing happened in firefox, so I went back with MSIE/WinXP in virtualbox and got it nicely hozed! | 07:23 |
| slavik | Mitesh: apt-get isntall ubuntu-desktop | 07:23 |
| Dazed | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:23 |
| Dazed | your mileage may vary | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: of course theres not much warez for linux. | 07:23 |
| RootRat | Ok thank you .... I have a Cannon Pixma iP1000 printer and it will not work somthing about CUP error | 07:23 |
| TheDude | Dazed: what was wrong with your xorg.conf? | 07:23 |
| zcat[1] | kinda hard to 'warez' stuff when ppl are already giving it away for free ;) | 07:24 |
| Dazed | it was sucking | 07:24 |
| ilovelinux33467 | does anyone know how to change resolution of login window in ubuntu 8.04? | 07:24 |
| DarkMage2303 | I love how quickly Ubuntu restarts | 07:24 |
| slavik | RootRat: we can't read your mind, you'll have to be more specific | 07:24 |
| Mitesh | slavik: thank you:) | 07:24 |
| devo | but would downloading music & movies from torrent sites or from bit torrent client's get me any virus??? | 07:25 |
| slavik | Mitesh: what sound do you have? | 07:25 |
| zcat[1] | devo: basically no... | 07:25 |
| RootRat | ok slavik I have a log from trouble shooter will that help and can I post it in pvt or in the room ? | 07:25 |
| freddy_ | is there any posiblity to install or make ndiswrapper to work in a livecd setup? | 07:25 |
| slavik | devo: for how long have you used a computer? | 07:25 |
| Mitesh | slavik: ? | 07:25 |
| devo | ok, that's what i wanted to know, thnx | 07:25 |
| bbq^ | Anyone know of any IDE's for C / C++ dev besides Eclipse, KDevelop and Anjuta. | 07:25 |
| slavik | !paste | RootRat | 07:25 |
| ubottu | RootRat: 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) | 07:25 |
| slavik | bbq^: code blocks | 07:25 |
| bbq^ | ah k | 07:25 |
| DarkMage2303 | Damn, is there anyone someone could give me help via a remote assistance, to get my USB external hard drive working? | 07:25 |
| RootRat | Ok thank you | 07:26 |
| bbq^ | slavik, is it a big download ? | 07:26 |
| devo | since i was about 12 & i'm 25 u do the math ;-) | 07:26 |
| bbq^ | got a link ? | 07:26 |
| slavik | bbq^: no clue, never used it | 07:26 |
| bbq^ | ok | 07:26 |
| bbq^ | thanks | 07:26 |
| zcat[1] | devo: you might download some viruses, but they just won't do anything unless you go to really extraordinary effort to install wine, associate them, and run them.. and even then they'll only have any effect inside the wine environment | 07:26 |
| freddy_ | DarkMage2303: what kinda problem you having with that hd? | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willi1 | DarkMage2303: you have tried to mount the thing manually? 'sudo fdisk -l' does show the device? | 07:26 |
| slavik | devo: then I will label you as a retard or troll, you pick | 07:26 |
| ubuntu-new | how do I change default adsl peer of adsl-provider to the other peer ??? | 07:26 |
| Dazed | why is it so unconcievable for there to be a linux virus? | 07:26 |
| red | My sound is completely broken save for system beeps, and it has been since I installed Hardy. How can I install an older kernel? | 07:27 |
| Dazed | You had to trick people into running them in windows too | 07:27 |
| DarkMage2303 | Because people are stupid | 07:27 |
| Mitesh | slavik: 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) | 07:27 |
| slavik | Dazed: it is conceivable, I can even write one very quickly, but some people are simply retarded and don't know their ass from their head after having used a computer for 13 years | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willi1 | Dazed: linux is a much harsher enviroment for viruii - is the main reason. :) | 07:27 |
| ilovelinux33467 | does anyone know how to change resolution of login window in ubuntu 8.04? | 07:28 |
| devo | i don't know that much about linux, that's why i'm try'n to learn more about it so i know how to use it & so i don't have to keep ask'n other ppl for help when i'm in a jam with use'n linux | 07:28 |
| RootRat | Okay I pasted my problem May some one have a look and advise me thank you http://paste.ubuntu.com/37909/ | 07:28 |
| slavik | Dr_Willi1: no, it's much harder to gain administrative access without asking the user for it ... | 07:28 |
| slavik | devo: so far, you have learned nothing | 07:28 |
| freddy_ | DarkMage2303: i dont have all night bro...whats your problem with the hd? | 07:28 |
| bbq^ | slavik, downloading it now for ubuntu thanks for the link, just can't stand some of those IDE's | 07:28 |
| zcat[1] | Dazed: It's not inconcevable, it's just fairly unlikely ... windows has always had this thing where documents and executables get opened and/or run basically the same way, and pratically every document format has the option of putting bits of executable code in it. Linux nevr had either.. | 07:28 |
| slavik | devo: it's called common sense, use it! | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willi1 | slavik: thats ONE thing that makes the linux os harsher for viruii to exist. | 07:28 |
| DarkMage2303 | I get a unable to mount error | 07:28 |
| devo | so should i uninstall wine then??? cuz it came with ultimate edition which is what i'm use'n rite now | 07:29 |
| DarkMage2303 | and I've tried a few guides on how-to fix it | 07:29 |
| freddy_ | show me | 07:29 |
| slavik | Dr_Willi1: there was a piece of code that would exploit something to get root access and it was not that long ago | 07:29 |
| freddy_ | ntfs? | 07:29 |
| DarkMage2303 | yeah it is NTFS | 07:29 |
| Dazed | Im the only one who uses this comp, how can i have permanent root priveledges | 07:29 |
| devo | i have learned enough rite now, i have used linux for the past few week's & still learning thank u very much | 07:29 |
| Dazed | this UAC crap is annyoing | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willi1 | slavik: and where is it now... theres always somthing poping up.. then getting fixed. I havent seen any recently. | 07:29 |
| DarkMage2303 | I've tried the guide here, http://www.linuxconfig.org/Howto_mount_USB_drive_in_Linux | 07:29 |
| zcat[1] | Dazed: you can't. Please don't ask again | 07:30 |
| pageold | hello | 07:30 |
| Vooloo | can I create a snapshot of my ubuntu installation so I dont have to re-configure everything when I re-install? | 07:30 |
| pageold | got question here | 07:30 |
| slavik | Dr_Willi1: the point is that it is doable (although as you said, much more difficult) | 07:30 |
| Dazed | Why do you say that? That's the first time I asked. | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willi1 | DarkMage2303: so you make a directiroy with 'sudo mkdir /media/USBDRIVE' and try 'sudo mount /dev/DEVICENAME /media/USBDRIVE' or similer commands? | 07:30 |
| slavik | Vooloo: look into LaRoza's recovery program or w/e | 07:30 |
| Dazed | Like im spamming or something | 07:30 |
| freddy_ | DarkMage2303: i like this kind of problems, cause it is real unsual to have a problem like this in ubuntu | 07:30 |
| pageold | why i cant retrieve list of partition when execute this command 'fdisk -l" | 07:30 |
| jason_ | DarkMage2303: have you read dmesg to see if it give you any clues as to why? | 07:30 |
| KoolD | how to change the default applications??like changing mplayer to default instead of totem... | 07:30 |
| zcat[1] | Dazed: once you have stuff set up and are just doing 'normal user stuff' you will never need root access and won't be bothered about it... | 07:31 |
| RootRat | slavik, any chance you having a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/37909/ and letting me know what I am doing wrong ? | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willi1 | KoolD: you can right click on a video file, and use its properties to change the default player I recall. | 07:31 |
| freddy_ | when you have some sort of problem like this one, try to go to google and point all your search to ubuntu speciafically...and not to "linux" | 07:31 |
| devo | i know the first thing that u have to type in the terminal before u can install anything is sudo apt install then the appication's name | 07:31 |
| FAJALOU | koolD: System>Prefrences>Preffered Applications | 07:31 |
| DarkMage2303 | The error message is: Unable to mount drive | 07:31 |
| slavik | RootRat: did you type that up by hand? | 07:31 |
| freddy_ | nice | 07:31 |
| FAJALOU | DarkMage2303: you coud force mount it... | 07:31 |
| RootRat | No just copy and paste | 07:31 |
| freddy_ | can you paste fdisk -l? | 07:32 |
| slavik | apt-get | 07:32 |
| zcat[1] | devo: add/remove or synaptic are much friendlier. YOu don't have to use the terminal and apt-get if you don't want to | 07:32 |
| devo | ok so i forgot a small part | 07:32 |
| slavik | RootRat: I meant in the cups config file, did you type it up? | 07:32 |
| KoolD | Dr_Willi1: thanks | 07:32 |
| DarkMage2303 | Would the force mount make it work all the time or would I have to repeatly force mount it? | 07:32 |
| TheDude | Hi all, I'm having a problem with ubuntu (8.04 AMD64): after I log in the only thing that loads is a blank blue screen, no toolbars, no desktop icons and only 2 of my workspaces are active. The "good" news is that I can start a terminal window and execute commands, I have internet and I can access firefox, etc. Does anybody know how to get my desktop back? | 07:32 |
| DarkMage2303 | ever time I restarted my computer, or something like that | 07:32 |
| devo | yeah i kinda did find that out the hard way, but thnx for tell'n it to me again ;-) | 07:32 |
| FAJALOU | DarkMage2303: just once, and if it doesn't work you could add it as a script to startup commands | 07:33 |
| slavik | TheDude: go into a gnome channel, ask them which folders to delete to reset your config ... | 07:33 |
| RootRat | slavik, I am brand new toUbuntu What is a Cups and what should I do (sorry ) | 07:33 |
| TheDude | slavik: thanks :) | 07:33 |

| RootRat | slavik, it detected it by its self | 07:33 |
| slavik | TheDude: it's like .gconf and .gnome2 or something, I am not sure | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willi1 | dabbu: run it from a terminal, look for error messages. | 07:33 |
| ja | Could anyone recommend a media player for Xfce that doesn't pull tons of KDE/Gnome dependencies and has MTP support? | 07:33 |
| rgnr | http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ | 07:33 |
| DarkMage2303 | How do I force mount it? | 07:33 |
| TheDude | slavik: roger that | 07:33 |
| devo | so how can i make linux more sicure than it already is? | 07:34 |
| slavik | RootRat: ok, and what happens when you try to print something? | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willi1 | ja: vlc and mplayer are the 2 main video players i use. | 07:34 |
| slavik | devo: SELinux | 07:34 |
| zcat[1] | devo: easy. Install openbsd instead ;) | 07:34 |
| DarkMage2303 | devo: never go onto the internet :) - the science of prevention | 07:34 |
| slavik | or that | 07:34 |
| FAJALOU | DarkMage2303: PM? | 07:34 |

| ja | Dr_Willil: Music player. | 07:34 |
| zcat[1] | devo: how secure do you need it to be?!! | 07:35 |
| ServBOT | hello can i know wats the command to run php in ubuntu | 07:35 |
| slavik | RootRat: search google for your printer coupled with the word "linux" | 07:35 |
| devo | i'm 25 & don't go to collage, don't have the $$$ for it | 07:35 |
| slavik | ServBOT: did you search google? | 07:35 |
| freddy_ | DarkMage2303: man mount | 07:35 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: hey! I figured out how to remote connect using X server forwarding | 07:35 |
| RootRat | Okay slavik ....BRB | 07:35 |
| ServBOT | slavik: yes i did google but cant seem to find any | 07:35 |
| freddy_ | the flag should be -f | 07:35 |
| freddy_ | or something like that | 07:36 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: awesome! | 07:36 |
| danhs | yep | 07:36 |
| devo | enough so that i can download movies, music & stuff without have'n someone try'n to hack into my computer | 07:36 |
| danhs | pretty nice | 07:36 |
| danhs | ssh -X | 07:36 |
| zcat[1] | danhs: now tell me.. I don't know how ;) | 07:36 |
| slavik | ServBOT: because there is a way and the package is php-cli or something of the sort | 07:36 |
| danhs | then gdmflexiserver --xnest | 07:36 |
| slavik | danhs: -X -C | 07:36 |
| zcat[1] | devo: you're already there | 07:36 |
| danhs | it's a little bit slow....but it does work | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: i do that all the time.. and i have no security 'issues' :) compared to doing simile rthings in windows. | 07:36 |
| danhs | -X -C? | 07:36 |
| slavik | yes, you want compression | 07:37 |
| danhs | gdmflexiserver opens up a new xserver session | 07:37 |
| nomad111 | hey all can someone recommend a paint program that is simpler and more convenient (for small tasks) than gimp | 07:37 |
| pageold | is there any command to show the partition details instead of $ sudo fdisk -l ? | 07:37 |
| nomad111 | something like ms paint but a bit bitter | 07:37 |
| === dabbu is now known as Dabbu_G | ||
| slavik | -C tells ssh to compress stuff :), very nice when you want to send images over the net | 07:37 |
| devo | window's sux & linux rules!!! that's what i say any one else wanna say someth'n different then be my guest? | 07:37 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: xnest opens the new xserver session up in a new window (or xephyr, but that seems more complex) | 07:37 |
| zcat[1] | !advocacy | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about advocacy | 07:38 |
| zcat[1] | hmmm... need a link in there | 07:38 |
| pageold | is there any command to show the partition details instead of $ sudo fdisk -l ? | 07:38 |

| devo | i say linux all the way!!! | 07:39 |
| devo | :-D | 07:39 |
| geek_ | pageold: df ? | 07:39 |
| smick002 | If you want to use flash author tools, then windows. | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: they are tools.. and it depends on the job you are doing. | 07:39 |
| smick002 | If you want to edit video, windows. | 07:40 |
| geek_ | devo: depends on what you run, what you run it on, and what you're comfortable with | 07:40 |
| devo | what about putt'n a movie to a disk? | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willi1 | pageold: gparted could show them.. but if they are not seen with 'sudo fdisk -l' then theres a problem. | 07:40 |
| Fredd | im looking for a app to change to the text type like for example "C source code (text/x-csrc)" for certian text files | 07:40 |
| danhs | zcat[1]: I'd like to figure out how to do this a little better.....make create a new xwindows session or something and then remote connect that over ssh.... | 07:40 |
| danhs | it's kind of interesting though | 07:40 |
| pageold | ok thnx guys | 07:41 |
| devo | i know that with window's there r too many damn virir's with linux there is no room for error unless the person @ the controls does the error'n | 07:41 |
| devo | am i rite? | 07:41 |
| Dabbu_G | cheese is not working in ubuntu..any help | 07:42 |
| devo | or am i wrong? | 07:42 |
| slavik | devo: on linux, if you don't know what you are doing, it won't be any more secure than Windows | 07:42 |
| Dabbu_G | it was working but not now | 07:42 |
| smick002 | is the adept updater buggy in kde 4.0? | 07:42 |
| MaverricK | pretty much, as a techie, i always say there's an issue between the keyboard and the chair. | 07:42 |
| devo | true | 07:42 |
| pageold | did df only shoe the mounted volume only? | 07:42 |
| slavik | MaverricK: not issue, error | 07:42 |
| pageold | show* | 07:42 |
| MaverricK | yah.. | 07:43 |
| MaverricK | i make it more politically correct but you're right.. | 07:43 |
| devo | so how can i put up a firewall in linux & know how to run it so that surrton port's can't be open & other's can? | 07:43 |
| pageold | geek_, sudo df only show mounted volume only? | 07:43 |
| MaverricK | now i have a ?, ubuntu installed with Gnome, I forget the apt get command to get KDE | 07:43 |
| slavik | MaverricK: or ID 10T errors | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willi1 | !ufw | devo | 07:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 07:43 |

| Dr_Willi1 | Heh.. hmm... | 07:43 |
| FAJALOU | slavik teheh ID10T errors gotta love em | 07:44 |
| geek_ | pageold: yeah | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: the ufw command can do basic firewalling tasks.. or there sother frontends. | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willi1 | !firewall | devo | 07:44 |
| ubottu | devo: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 07:44 |
| geek_ | pageold: what specifically do you wanna see? | 07:44 |
| smick002 | can somebody tell me how to update to kde 41 with terminal. I can't find the command in a search. | 07:44 |
| pageold | ok geek_ , im about to do auto mount for windoz partition, but i need to do mount point, in order to do that i need to know specificly the details of partition eg size, name of partition, format n etc | 07:45 |
| debCarlos | smick002, sudo aptitude upgrade | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willi1 | smick002: you need to enable the proper repositoriues. and then update/upgrade - the kde4 channel hsa info on it. | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willi1 | !kde4 | 07:45 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.1.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 07:45 |
| Fredd | how could i change a certian file types text type for example c files have "C source code (text/x-csrc)" and i want to change that of a certian file type. | 07:45 |
| pageold | $ sudo fdisk -l only show the format of parititon i think, but i cant identify which partition i should point to | 07:45 |
| smick002 | DrWilli1: thanks, I'll check there. | 07:46 |
| devo | ok fine, how can i install a really good anti virus program for linux then? | 07:46 |

| Mitesh | slavik: i have done apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, what do i do now? | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willi1 | pageold: thats when you need to look at the sizes and filesystem types , and perhaps mount one or 2 and see what ones are what. | 07:46 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: avscan and clamav (clamav is an awesone scanner, avscan is a nice gui frontned for it) | 07:46 |
| RootRat | slavik, Thank you very much for your help ......... printer now working A OK | 07:46 |
| slavik | Mitesh: that should've given you gstreamer back | 07:46 |
| devo | kool, thnx | 07:47 |
| slavik | RootRat: google was made by smart people | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: there really are none that need to be installed to protect linux. The ones that exist. are normally for scanning for windows viruses. (which is handy for repair tools) | 07:47 |
| sluimers | Hi, I'm trying to autoload my wireless network driver. I've followed the instructions but it's not working. instructions: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37913/ . Can someone help me with this? | 07:47 |
| devo | now what about a really good firewall? | 07:47 |
| debCarlos | Hey all, i tried to cp a cd with brasero, it failed.... then i thinked that dd maybe would do it and launched dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/home/carlos/gta.iso . ... it didn't work, just copied about 150MB and they are kinda nonsensical... why? | 07:47 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: firestarter | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: read the bots !firewall factoid and learn about them. :) i dont bother with a firewall either. | 07:47 |
| Mitesh | slavik: what do i do the? | 07:47 |
| slavik | you need kubuntu-desktop | 07:47 |
| Zhane | hey i installed ubuntu with wubi.. i managed to login.. but the tasks bar dont come out and it seems to hang then | 07:48 |
| devo | ok srry | 07:48 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: btw just for the record I have no firewall and only use clamav to make sure I'm not passing virus-infected files to friends that use windows. | 07:48 |
| devo | i don't wanna piss anyone off & srry if i am | 07:48 |
| devo | :-( | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willi1 | debCarlos check dmesg output - it may be the thing couldent read the disk. also some games can have nasty copy protection that can make reading the disks hard. | 07:48 |
| devo | kool | 07:49 |
| Mitesh | slavik: what do i do then? | 07:49 |
| smick002 | is there a way to show running processes and kill them. It keeps saying adept is already running... arghh | 07:50 |
| === konrad is now known as Kejk_PL | ||
| debCarlos | Dr_Willi1, damn'it, it must be the game.... i'll try with dmesg... but dd should have worked ? | 07:50 |
| slavik | Mitesh: that will isntall KDE, if you want to use it, select it in the session menu at the login screen | 07:50 |
| Mitesh | slavik: i dont want KDE | 07:50 |
| slavik | Mitesh: err | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willi1 | debCarlos: i have copied disks befor with dd. if you give it a blocksize artument of 2 to 4K it can cut the copying time in half in many cases | 07:50 |
| Mitesh | slavik: i want only the sound to come | 07:50 |
| slavik | oh ... | 07:51 |
| slavik | who wanted kde? | 07:51 |
| devo | what's better kde or gnome? | 07:51 |
| Mitesh | slavik: eh | 07:51 |
| devo | i think kde | 07:51 |
| devo | but that's just me | 07:51 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: vanilla or chocolate? | 07:51 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Just updated and now my flash is broken, again, watch a few flash and after a bit I refuses to load them | 07:51 |
| debCarlos | Dr_Willi1, Can you give me an example? I mean, i'm not too familiar with dd... | 07:51 |
| Mitesh | slavik: ok what do i have to do to get my sound back? | 07:51 |
| slavik | set it to use alsa | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willi1 | debCarlos: dd bs=4k or some similer option. its proberly shown in dd examples all over the web. :) | 07:52 |
| devo | vanilla on someday's & chocolate on other day's what about u? | 07:52 |
| geek_ | devo: IMO try both. try a few other too. use what you like best ;p | 07:52 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: in ubuntu, 'gnome' is the main desktop and kde is kinda an afterthought. I find gnome more polished and cohesive.. | 07:52 |
| zcat[1]_ | but I know many people who prefer kde | 07:52 |
| Zhane | hey i installed ubuntu with wubi.. i managed to login.. but the tasks bar dont come out and it seems to hang then... what should i do? | 07:52 |
| devo | LOL | 07:52 |
| devo | it's kool | 07:53 |
| debCarlos | Dr_Willi1, Ok, but what format should i assign to the copied file? I mean, the of= part/// | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willi1 | debCarlos: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/ | 07:53 |
| Intial_M | any ideas guys how to setup remote desktop | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willi1 | debCarlos: of=filename.iso | 07:53 |
| slavik | devo: you install firestarter yet? | 07:54 |
| baggins | hi. so i'm just running update from 7.10 to 8.04 and i left it overnight, it was generating en_AU locale last night, and now, 10 hours later, it's still doing it. the localedef isn't responding to SIGTERM or even SIGKILL :( | 07:54 |
| zcat[1]_ | Intial_M: danhs might be able to elp ;) | 07:54 |
| debCarlos | Dr_Willi1, Ok, thanks :D | 07:54 |
| slavik | btw, as a note, by default, Ubuntu does not enable the firewall | 07:54 |
| devo | i didn't need to it was already installed when i installed ubuntu aka ultimate edition | 07:54 |
| devo | what i have rite now | 07:54 |
| slavik | baggins: search google, that's how I solved it :) | 07:54 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: you still ned to run and configure it though, I believe.. | 07:55 |
| zcat[1]_ | *need | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: you proberly dont need to use ubuntu 'ultimate' edition at all either... | 07:55 |
| devo | that's true | 07:55 |
| slavik | devo: did you know that you also have apache and mysql setup, and you happen to have phpmyadmin installed as well | 07:55 |
| baggins | i would, but firefox isn't working on account of being halfway through and update | 07:55 |
| baggins | s/and/an/ | 07:55 |
| slavik | and speaking of which your MySQL setup isn't secure | 07:55 |
| devo | what??? | 07:55 |
| baggins | oh killing locale-gen helped. | 07:55 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: hmmm.. actually yes.. 'ultimate' is probably less secure than the official distro because you have lots of server stuff which is potentially a security risk | 07:56 |
| baggins | lots of errors, but at least it's moving. | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: in fact using the 'ultimate' edition could make the system more INsecure. :) sice it may install services you dont need. | 07:56 |
| slavik | that and "ls /var/lib/mysql/" will produce a nice output. | 07:56 |
| allup | can i some hoe remove all off my screen savers? | 07:56 |
| allup | how* | 07:56 |
| slavik | so, what's the point of the ultimate edition again? | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: dare we ask why? :) you could fire up the psckage manager. look for screensaver. and remove the packages i guess... | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willi1 | slavik: ive often wondered that myself. | 07:56 |
| devo | so how can i take off all the other services that i don't need? | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willi1 | slavik: if you want lots of stuff installed by default I guess... | 07:57 |
| slavik | devo, run that command | 07:57 |
| slavik | and read the output carefully | 07:57 |
| zcat[1]_ | 'ultimate' in not an official distro btw.. before you rag on about ubuntu not being secure.. if someone goes ahead and makes their own 'ubuntu pwn-me edition' there's not much we can do about that | 07:57 |
| danhs | Intial_M: zcat[1] mentioned me.... | 07:57 |
| slavik | zcat[1]: ultimate should be renamed into that ... | 07:57 |
| danhs | I was just playing with remote x over ssh | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willi1 | zcat[1]_: at least they dident pick a ego inflating name. :) | 07:58 |
| zcat[1]_ | danhs: we learn, then we teach ;) | 07:58 |
| danhs | zcat[1]_: haha, indeed | 07:58 |
| danhs | I still don't like vnc tho.... | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willi1 | Pwnd Parakeet. | 07:58 |
| devo | i ran the command in the terminal & this is what i got | 07:58 |
| devo | debian-5.0.flag ibdata1 ib_logfile1 mysql_upgrade_info | 07:58 |
| devo | devo_got_fingered ib_logfile0 mysql | 07:58 |
| allupp | i ask agen my guestion bechause pidgin shut down by it self any idea why? so can i remove some how all off my screensavers | 07:58 |
| slavik | lol | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: dare we ask why? :) you could fire up the psckage manager. look for screensaver. and remove the packages i guess... | 07:59 |
| devo | y is that funny?> | 07:59 |
| danhs | but gdmflexiserver with xnest over lan is pretty nice.... | 07:59 |
| danhs | zcat[1]_: still looking for similar setup that works well over public internet | 07:59 |
| danhs | cause xnest is a bit slow..... | 07:59 |
| allupp | moust off screensaver aren't workins so well as they should | 07:59 |
| Intial_M | sir danhs | 07:59 |
| Intial_M | hi just want to ask if you have tutorials on how to start remote deskto | 08:00 |
| Intial_M | remote desktop | 08:00 |
| slavik | devo, try that command again | 08:00 |
| danhs | Intial_M: I wish.....google search for gdmflexiserver and xnest | 08:00 |
| danhs | and then it's just ssh -X | 08:00 |
| danhs | that's what I was just playing with.... | 08:00 |
| slavik | danhs: you forgot -C | 08:00 |
| danhs | slavik: -C ? | 08:00 |
| slavik | yes, compression | 08:01 |
| zcat[1]_ | compressed.. faster | 08:01 |
| Intial_M | ok tnx dahns | 08:01 |
| danhs | ahhhh | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: it would be best to just set your screensaver to a simple 'blank screen' then . Or fire up the package manager, search and remove any you dont like. | 08:01 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | where do I rat out a translator that is making false translations? | 08:01 |
| zcat[1]_ | xgfhsdgfhsd: engligh to sweedish phrasebook? | 08:01 |
| devo | ok & this is what i got devo@devo-desktop:~$ ls /var/lib/mysql | 08:01 |
| devo | debian-5.0.flag devo_has_been_hacked ib_logfile0 mysql | 08:01 |
| devo | devo_got_fingered ibdata1 ib_logfile1 mysql_upgrade_info | 08:01 |
| danhs | slavik: yea, if there's a better way to transport x session than using gdmflexiserver --xnest I'm very very interested | 08:01 |
| danhs | vnc is just so ghetto, and nx is crap | 08:02 |
| slavik | devo: next time, use pastebin | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: golly.. looks like Ubuntu Ultimate edition. is somthing you really DONT want to be using. | 08:02 |
| Mitesh | slavik: how to set it to use alsa? | 08:02 |
| zcat[1]_ | Dr_Willi1: worse than the pwn-me edition?! | 08:02 |
| devo | what's pastebin??? | 08:02 |
| danhs | well, nx is really proprietary....nomachine's code works well, but, the open source.... | 08:02 |
| slavik | in the mutimedia system preferences or w/e it is | 08:02 |
| danhs | devo google nopaste | 08:02 |
| slavik | !paste | 08:02 |
| 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) | 08:02 |
| slavik | devo is a bad reader | 08:02 |
| Intial_M | dahns | 08:02 |
| xgfhsdgfhsd | no, in English Canadian, he translates to French, and also saying things like: Press Button to Begin ---> I AM SO GOOD WITH COMPUTERS | 08:02 |
| devo | yeah i know i think i'm gonna install ubuntu 7.10 instead if that's the case | 08:03 |
| slavik | or 8.04 | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: given that 8.4 is the latest.. why use the older? | 08:03 |
| Intial_M | what about remote desktop, coz my brother is out of the country | 08:03 |
| slavik | Dr_Willi1: 8.04 :) | 08:03 |
| Intial_M | is it possible to used the remote desktop | 08:03 |
| danhs | Intial_M: we were just talking about remote desktop :) | 08:03 |
| zcat[1]_ | xgfhsdgfhsd: rather pythonesque.. | 08:03 |
| Intial_M | i cant understand | 08:03 |
| rgnr | who will help me compile pidgin? | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willi1 | slavik: i want 8.90210 the Hollywood edition! | 08:03 |
| allup | dr_willi1: problem is that this coputer runs xubuntu damm slow so i thought that i i remove something i don't need at all it would be even litle faster | 08:04 |
| slavik | lol | 08:04 |
| Intial_M | the server thing | 08:04 |
| Mitesh | slavik: is ti System>Preferences>Sound ? | 08:04 |
| slavik | should be | 08:04 |
| devo | i can't get ubuntu 8.4 to work on my computer so i will install 7.10 instead srry | 08:04 |
| allup | *if | 08:04 |
| danhs | Intial_M: the way I was just playing with is like this: setup a ssh connection to your remote machine with -X and -C arguments | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: i doubt if that will help. and wont really save much disk space.. but do what you want. | 08:04 |
| danhs | then run (in your remote terminal) gdmflexiserver --xnest | 08:04 |
| zephyraltimus | what channel is the offtopic? | 08:04 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: just stick with the official 8.04 install, I think. | 08:04 |
| Intial_M | ok | 08:04 |
| danhs | not sure that that's the best way, but I | 08:04 |
| slavik | ok, this is crap, devo, if you won't even read what you paste, you need to stop using a computer ... | 08:04 |
| danhs | I'm not digging vnc or nx | 08:04 |
| Intial_M | but i dont know how to start | 08:04 |
| Intial_M | im so sorry | 08:04 |
| devo | my computer was made for windows2000 & has very old part's in it | 08:05 |
| zcat[1]_ | rather than running "Ubuntu Craptacular Edition" | 08:05 |
| allup | dr_willi can you help me whit my problem whit cpu root is using allmost all the time 59% off cpu usage | 08:05 |
| danhs | Intial_M: what do you mean? | 08:05 |
| danhs | Intial_M: have you ever used ssh? | 08:05 |
| === mkquist_ is now known as mkquist | ||
| devo | ok i'll get ubuntu 8.4 but here can i get it though that is a secure place to get? | 08:05 |
| slavik | Dr_Willi1: is it me or is devo thick? | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: fire up htop. or top and see what tasks are using the cpu i guess.. is the place to start. | 08:05 |
| Intial_M | no im not | 08:06 |
| danhs | devo: what's wrong with ubuntu.com? | 08:06 |
| danhs | hahaha | 08:06 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: You might try "ubuntu.com" | 08:06 |
| allup | i know alredy root using command xorg | 08:06 |
| devo | hey | 08:06 |
| debCarlos | dd is great! It can do everything lol | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willi1 | slavik: i often tell my friends i am teaching linux to to 'less chat, more read' :) and toss another linux book at them. | 08:06 |
| danhs | Intial_M: open up a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install ssh | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willi1 | debCarlos: :) yep. its sort of amazing what it can do | 08:06 |
| Intial_M | is it ok | 08:06 |
| Intial_M | im just afraid to do so | 08:06 |
| Intial_M | hehehe | 08:06 |
| slavik | Dr_Willi1: I was sure he would shit his pants after reader his last pasted output :( | 08:06 |
| danhs | Intial_M: well, get over it and let's move on | 08:07 |
| devo | ok so i may be alittle slow with it tonight srry about that but i have been up since 5a.m. give me a break | 08:07 |
| allup | dr_williw1:yep its root using command xorg | 08:07 |
| Intial_M | but how can i uninstall it in case | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willi1 | its 3 am here. :) | 08:07 |
| zephyraltimus | ubuntu is the distro of the future, check it... listen to Madball and old school Biohazard, I'm out... goodnight all | 08:07 |

| devo | HEY I DON'T LIKE THAT SLAVIK OF WHAT UR SAY'N ABOUT ME!!! | 08:07 |
| danhs | just go into synaptic and right click remove if you want to remove it | 08:07 |
| Intial_M | s0 i'll just install it then on synaptic | 08:08 |
| debCarlos | Dr_Willi1, And i didn't know that dd means Data Destroyer. | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: if you have a very low end machine. that xfce even bogs it down. You may want to use some uber-light window manager and file manager like 'jwm' and 'rox' | 08:08 |
| Intial_M | btw what does it for? | 08:08 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: start the downlaod and go to bed. come back when you're awake! | 08:08 |
| slavik | devo: like Dr_Willi1 said, more reading, less chatting ... if you don't read the output of the commands you run, I just wasted 15 minutes of my time. :( | 08:08 |
| slavik | yes, that's good advice | 08:08 |
| danhs | Intial_M: whatever makes you happy. I was just giving you the command line so that you didn't have to go through synaptic and point adn click and waste your time | 08:08 |
| allup | and where i can get thouse? | 08:08 |
| devo | i can use all the help i can get | 08:08 |
| Intial_M | ok i understand but what is ssh for? | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: they are in the normal repositories. | 08:08 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: WE NOTICED ;) | 08:08 |
| Intial_M | sorry for asking too much | 08:09 |
| danhs | Intial_M: ssh is for "secure shell" it connects you to a remote computer over a secure, encrypted connection | 08:09 |
| devo | LOL | 08:09 |
| danhs | !ssh | 08:09 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 08:09 |
| slavik | zcat[1]_: did you notice anything else? | 08:09 |
| Intial_M | ok | 08:09 |
| allup | iam not very smart whit computer or its terms so could you sost paste link or something? | 08:09 |
| slavik | allup: http://google.com | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: the normal package manager/add/remove tools have the programs in there. | 08:10 |
| devo | so what does this mean then??? devo@devo-desktop:~$ ls /var/lib/mysql | 08:10 |
| danhs | devo: means your computer is trying to attack you | 08:10 |
| Detrix | I can not get Ubuntu(64bit) to recognize either my dialup modem or the wifi. I am on here through windows. | 08:10 |
| slavik | ls = LiSt | 08:10 |
| danhs | !ls | 08:10 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:10 |
| slavik | but you want to read the output of that command, it is more fun | 08:10 |
| slavik | and scary at the same time | 08:10 |
| devo | srry what does this mean??? | 08:10 |
| devo | debian-5.0.flag devo_has_been_hacked ib_logfile0 mysql | 08:10 |
| devo | devo_got_fingered ibdata1 | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: i think its really really a good time to go find a few beginner bash tutorials like the ones the bot just posted. | 08:10 |
| debCarlos | Detrix, Hi :). Have you tried wvdial ? | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: its a listing of the files in that directory. | 08:11 |
| zcat[1]_ | rofl... you're kidding. | 08:11 |
| slavik | 2 of them are supposed to be messages | 08:11 |
| slavik | I give up, I cannot make this more obvious than it already is | 08:11 |
| devo | so in other word's i've been hacked??? | 08:11 |
| danhs | slavik: hahaha | 08:11 |
| danhs | hahahahah | 08:11 |
| Detrix | debCarlos: yes but I do not think the system knows there is a modem... | 08:11 |
| slavik | finally!!!!! | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: and it does apear that your ubuntu ultimate edition - has some SERIOUS security holes in the mysql area. | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: so i would suggest using a normal ubuntu install. | 08:12 |
| debCarlos | Detrix, why you think that ? | 08:12 |
| danhs | This is pretty funny stuff....hmmmm could this make it to bash.org? funny enough....hehe | 08:12 |
| slavik | devo, why did you decide to use the ultimate edition? | 08:12 |
| devo | ok i'll come back on when i do have ubuntu 8.4 which i know is ahell of alot more secure than what i'm use'n rite now | 08:12 |
| slavik | good | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: read some bash tutorials while the iso downloads also. | 08:12 |
| slavik | also isntall firestarter and run through the wizard | 08:13 |
| Detrix | debCarlos: I tried modemScan and it suggests that I may need a 32bit driver!!! | 08:13 |
| danhs | devo: just pickup a weekend guide to unix or linux or something | 08:13 |
| devo | cuz it had everything i wanted & didn't have to download anyth'n cuz they were just installed automaticly | 08:13 |
| debCarlos | Detrix, oh... don't know what to say ^^ | 08:13 |
| slavik | and run the following command "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" (don't forget to enter your password) | 08:13 |
| Ziroday | slavik: ubuntu 8.04 uses ufw, its much easier tha devo uses that instead of iptables | 08:13 |
| mio | how can i find out if my wireless network device is working? | 08:13 |
| danhs | Intial_M: did you get your stuff working? | 08:13 |
| devo | what did u say??? | 08:13 |
| devo | lol | 08:13 |
| Detrix | when I run modemScan it seems to hang. | 08:13 |
| slavik | Ziroday: I use firestarter ... so it doesn't matter | 08:13 |
| Ziroday | mio: when you can connect to the internet with it | 08:14 |
| danhs | Detrix: you're using a modem for non-fax purposes? | 08:14 |
| slavik | I've also used ipfw which is easier ... | 08:14 |
| allup | dr_willi1: i didn't find enything about rox or jwm with xfc4 appfinder | 08:14 |
| === leopard is now known as ronnie | ||
| Detrix | yes | 08:14 |
| danhs | Detrix: I don't think I've used a modem in about 10 years.... | 08:14 |
| Cobi | Is it possible to theme gnome-screensaver's lock screen, just like it is possible to theme GDM's login screen? | 08:14 |
| danhs | that' | 08:14 |

| zzl | have a question. why isn't the ubuntu company accepting my disk requests???? | 08:15 |
| danhs | ssh -X -C <remote_machine_ip_address> | 08:15 |
| mio | Ziroday: i'm looking for the command in terminal which will list the devices currently working ? | 08:15 |
| Intial_M | how to do that? | 08:15 |
| debCarlos | Actually when power goes out, i use my cellphone as modem :) | 08:15 |
| Intial_M | pl | 08:15 |
| Detrix | I am not liking the dialup much either....I cant even get Ubuntu to recognize the wifi. | 08:15 |
| Ziroday | mio: try ifconfig -a | 08:15 |
| slavik | devo: you didn't run the command I told you to | 08:15 |
| Intial_M | so do the other pc needs to setup ssh also | 08:15 |
| danhs | Intial_M: yes | 08:15 |
| Ziroday | mio: but that will just tell you all the devices, not if they are working, pastebin that output and I will tell you | 08:15 |
| Intial_M | ok | 08:15 |
| Intial_M | so after? | 08:16 |
| Intial_M | what next? | 08:16 |
| devo | what was the command??? | 08:16 |
| mio | Ziroday: its on another system i am running here | 08:16 |
| danhs | Intial_M: also, you have to open up *port 22* on your remote machine | 08:16 |
| danhs | Intial_M: could be another one, but 22 is the default | 08:16 |
| Intial_M | ok | 08:16 |
| mio | Ziroday: only shows Link ecap:Local Loopback | 08:16 |
| zcat[1]_ | danhs: bt only if you enabled the firewall first.. by default it's open already ;) | 08:17 |
| Ziroday | mio: none of those are your wirelesss | 08:17 |
| danhs | errr I mean on your remote router....so you need to forward any incoming traffic on port 22 to the remote machine you're trying to access | 08:17 |
| devo | slavik: what was the command that u wanted me to run??? | 08:17 |
| Detrix | So how do I switch to the 32bit version of Ubuntu??? | 08:17 |
| slavik | it stops the mysql service | 08:17 |

| * danhs nods to zcat[1]_ | 08:17 | |
| devo | but what's the command line though??? | 08:17 |
| debCarlos | Detrix, I think you have to download the 32 bit version/. | 08:18 |
| Intial_M | coz its on 24 hr clock format | 08:18 |
| debCarlos | /etc/init.d/mysql stop | 08:18 |
| Sa[i]nT | dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory Help? | 08:18 |
| danhs | Intial_M: prolly just right click it and change format or something silly | 08:18 |
| Intial_M | no its on conky | 08:18 |
| Intial_M | not the system clock | 08:18 |
| danhs | Intial_M: what's conky? | 08:18 |
| Intial_M | hehehe | 08:18 |
| Detrix | will that overwrite the 64bit version? | 08:18 |
| slavik | devo: scroll up | 08:18 |
| R0b0t1 | I need the command for a forkbomb | 08:19 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: seriosuly it would be easier to just reinstall the standard install instead of what you have which appears to be ubuntu bent over with it's pants around it's ankles... | 08:19 |
| R0b0t1 | ;) | 08:19 |
| slavik | this is what I have to deal with at work ... | 08:19 |
| Ziroday | Detrix: after the reinstall it will override *everythin* | 08:19 |
| Intial_M | is a free software system monitor for the X Window System | 08:19 |
| danhs | zcat[1]_: hahahha great visual! | 08:19 |
| R0b0t1 | I need the command for a forkbomb | 08:19 |
| danhs | hahaha | 08:19 |

| slavik | zcat[1]_: and an insecure default MySQL setup | 08:19 |
| zcat[1]_ | slavik: iceberg... | 08:19 |
| slavik | ? | 08:19 |
| zcat[1]_ | tip thereof? | 08:19 |
| slavik | oh, yeah | 08:20 |
| slavik | the firewall is not enabled | 08:20 |
| Detrix | well I guess I will try installing the 32bit. | 08:20 |
| slavik | rpcbind is also listening on the network | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willi1 | !find jwm | 08:20 |

| Intial_M | dahns | 08:20 |
| danhs | Yea I think in general going from 64 bit to 32 bit is insane | 08:20 |
| Intial_M | is it ok if i will test remote | 08:21 |
| slavik | there is no hardware firewall or any of that stuff (if there is, the system is in DMZ) | 08:21 |
| devo | slavik: ok i ran the command line that u wanted me to, now what??? | 08:21 |
| Intial_M | with your ip | 08:21 |
| zcat[1]_ | r0bby: :(){ :|:& };: | 08:21 |
| Ziroday | owen1: f-spot | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willi1 | allup: its in the universe repository. I just isntall with 'sudo apt-get install jwm' | 08:21 |
| Ziroday | zcat[1]_: he's left already | 08:21 |
| zcat[1]_ | Sorry, ignore that r0bby | 08:21 |
| danhs | Intial_M: errrrr you don't have a login on my machine tho | 08:21 |
| danhs | :) | 08:21 |
| Intial_M | hehehe | 08:21 |
| owen1 | Ziroday: it has no audio, only slideshow. | 08:21 |
| Intial_M | i just want to experience using remote | 08:21 |
| Ziroday | owen1: sorry, possibly digikam? | 08:21 |
| slavik | devo: now angry ukrainians won't create files on your system called "devo_got_hacked" in case you missed that ... | 08:21 |
| owen1 | Ziroday: let me google for it. | 08:22 |
| yakobmatrix | anyone can tell me how I can compile C# source code in ubuntu? | 08:22 |
| _numbers_ | hell yeah! this works nicely :) | 08:22 |
| Ziroday | owen1: its in the repos, you can install it with sudo apt-get install digikam | 08:22 |
| Intial_M | plss dahns | 08:22 |
| Intial_M | hehehe | 08:22 |
| zcat[1]_ | yakobmatrix: I suspect 'mono' would be a start | 08:22 |
| zcat[1]_ | !mono | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mono | 08:22 |
| owen1 | Ziroday: i'll try it now. thanks | 08:22 |
| danhs | Intial_M: if you really need a remote host, I'd sign up for dreamhost | 08:22 |
| _numbers_ | fedora was nice but this just feels better XD | 08:22 |
| devo | i did run that other command & it still came up the same "devo_got_hacked" | 08:22 |
| Ziroday | owen1: have fun | 08:22 |
| Intial_M | what is that? | 08:22 |
| devo | GGGRRR | 08:23 |
| danhs | Intial_M: there are tons of companies that will give you a remote linux machine for a very small fee | 08:23 |
| Intial_M | oooppss | 08:23 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: yes, but he can't make a file called 'devo_got_hacked_again now | 08:23 |
| yakobmatrix | zcat[1]_, I already tried mono, but I encounter this error when I try to compile it. | 08:23 |
| danhs | Intial_M: my system is really meant to be a private secure system. I'm not in a position to open up my box to strangers | 08:23 |
| Intial_M | i thought that it was for free | 08:23 |
| yakobmatrix | Build failed. Executable not found: /usr/bin/gmcs | 08:23 |
| yakobmatrix | what does that mean? | 08:23 |
| Intial_M | yeah i understand | 08:23 |
| slavik | finally, he got it | 08:23 |
| zcat[1]_ | !gmcs | 08:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gmcs | 08:23 |
| devo | so then what, he can't get in my computer now or what? | 08:23 |
| zcat[1]_ | no idea! | 08:23 |
| slavik | yakobmatrix: read what it says ... | 08:23 |
| Intial_M | but i dont know anything about this | 08:23 |
| debCarlos | !info gmcs | 08:23 |
| ubottu | Package gmcs does not exist in hardy | 08:23 |
| Intial_M | actually im the one who is afraid though | 08:24 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: well, he can't get in through mysql... | 08:24 |
| yakobmatrix | what does it says? | 08:24 |
| slavik | devo: there is still a way, just not worth the eddort | 08:24 |
| Intial_M | coz it can be vice versa | 08:24 |
| danhs | Intial_M: really, pay $5 to dreamhost and myself or someone else here can walk you through it | 08:24 |
| Intial_M | right? | 08:24 |
| slavik | yakobmatrix: read it slowly | 08:24 |
| devo | so how can i stop him from gett'n into my computer??? | 08:24 |
| Intial_M | no thanks | 08:24 |
| yakobmatrix | slavik, I have no idea | 08:24 |
| danhs | Intial_M: huh? what's the question? | 08:24 |
| Intial_M | actually im the one who is afraid though | 08:25 |
| zcat[1]_ | !info mono-gmcs | yakobmatrix | 08:25 |
| Intial_M | coz it can be vice versa | 08:25 |

| yakobmatrix | what's the solution? | 08:25 |
| danhs | Intial_M: yea, I'm not sure what of though | 08:25 |
| Intial_M | because im the noob here remember | 08:25 |
| zcat[1]_ | yakobmatrix: you probably need that package | 08:25 |
| boho103 | hey I have a question about file sharing, I want to be able to transfer files faster, what ports does file sharing use? | 08:25 |
| kaminix | What's the program to decompress TTA (True Audio codec) with? | 08:25 |
| devo | so how can i stop him from gett'n into my computer??? | 08:25 |
| danhs | Intial_M: you have nothing at risk. you have nothing to be afraid of | 08:25 |
| boho103 | file sharing through lan fyi***** | 08:25 |
| Intial_M | that's it | 08:25 |
| slavik | yakobmatrix: google is your friend | 08:25 |
| zcat[1]_ | devo: we already told you about twenty times... | 08:25 |
| danhs | Intial_M: really, spend $5 think of it as gallon of gas and get a month of dreamhost service or someone else | 08:25 |
| slavik | devo: read the chat, we already told you what to do and you already did it | 08:26 |
| Intial_M | so why your afraid? | 08:26 |
| danhs | zcat[1]_: devo is too funny....maybe microsoft sent him here | 08:26 |
| _numbers_ | lol | 08:26 |
| danhs | Intial_M: me? because I don't know you and i don't want you to crash my computer! | 08:26 |
| slavik | boho103: why does it matter which ports are used by 'file sharing' ? | 08:26 |
| zcat[1]_ | slavik: well, no.. I suggested using something other than pants-around-ankles edition... | 08:26 |
| geek_ | boho103: Through what protocol? | 08:26 |
| devo | i will piss on microsoft anyday of the week | 08:26 |
| danhs | Intial_M: or create any kind of crazy problem for me! | 08:26 |
| yakobmatrix | OK, thanks I'll try | 08:26 |
| Intial_M | hehehe, what makes you think that i can do that | 08:26 |
| danhs | if we had a history, then I'd consider it.... | 08:26 |
| boho103 | Slavic: I want to forward the ports through router because most of my ports are blocked | 08:27 |
| slavik | zcat[1]_: is it wrong to think that you have to be certified with some certification before being allowed to use a computer? | 08:27 |
| danhs | Intial_M: cause I *know* you could if I gave you that kind of access | 08:27 |
| Intial_M | even ssh i dont know | 08:27 |
| danhs | Intial_M: like I said, my computer isn't set up to be an ISP | 08:27 |
| zcat[1]_ | slavik: I suspect devo is certified.. but not in a good way... | 08:27 |
| Intial_M | no man, im not that kind of person you are thinking | 08:27 |
| yakobmatrix | slavik, yes I know. thanks | 08:27 |
| Flannel | Intial_M: Please stop. | 08:27 |
| yakobmatrix | :-) | 08:27 |
| danhs | Intial_M: I'm not in a position to open up my server as a public space | 08:27 |
| devo | WHAT!!! | 08:27 |

| Intial_M | btw tnx for the tutorials | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willi1 | devo: remove the mysql service would be a start. I belive. | 08:28 |
| danhs | Intial_M: np | 08:28 |
| slavik | boho103: "sharing files" would allow anyone to connect and look at them | 08:28 |
| danhs | Intial_M: really, if you want a computer to practice on, *pay* people who do this professionally | 08:28 |
| devo | LOOK MICROSOFT CAN KISS MY ASS CUZ I AM A LINUX!!! | 08:28 |
| danhs | bluehost, hostmonster, dreamhost, etc | 08:28 |

| Intial_M | beside i just want to access the pc of my brother in abroad so that i can setup his ubuntu apps | 08:28 |
| slavik | devo: leave your caps at the door | 08:29 |
| _numbers_ | is someone using compiz fusion on ubuntu that knows how to install it?? | 08:29 |
| devo | ok | 08:29 |
| boho103 | Slavic: what do you mean, I just want to raise my transfer rate through my lan, I think its capped right now but I want to raise it | 08:29 |
| danhs | Intial_M: tell your brother to run this command sudo apt-get install ssh | 08:29 |
| Flannel | _numbers_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 08:29 |
| danhs | then you can remotely connect | 08:29 |
| Intial_M | ok and then | 08:29 |
| _numbers_ | x64 | 08:29 |
| slavik | boho103: who would cap it? think about this | 08:29 |
| Intial_M | how can we able to connect to each other | 08:29 |
| danhs | then connect and run whatever you want | 08:29 |
| geev | hi to all | 08:29 |

| Intial_M | so that i can manipulate his desktop and i will be the one to the things that ive thought to him | 08:30 |
| slavik | yakobmatrix: that's a problem, you really want to have someone look at it | 08:30 |
| Intial_M | coz he cant follow | 08:30 |
| zcat[1]_ | danhs: and a little about port forwarding routers | 08:30 |
| danhs | it's 3:30 in my timezone....I need to get to sleep | 08:30 |

| devo | so ur say'n that remove'n the mysql service will be a start so that the person can't hack into my computer or make the os that i have more secure??? | 08:30 |
| boho103 | slavic: I think samba is capped, the file sharing program, or maybe there is a setting in a menu for file sharing that has to do with transfer rate? | 08:30 |
| slavik | what borough? | 08:30 |
| danhs | manhattan | 08:30 |
| yakobmatrix | slavik, I just want to get this over with quickly | 08:30 |

| zcat[1]_ | dumnut: you have a 'difficult' wifi card then.. !wifi might help.. or you might find it easiest to buy a cheap, known-to-be-supported PCI adapter instead | 08:38 |

| DarkMage2303 | can someone help me get my USB external hard drive to work? I've already tried a lot of things with FAJALOU but it still won't work. | 08:40 |
| FAJALOU | unop: bash 4452 louie cwd DIR 0,23 4096 1 /home/louie/Network | 08:40 |
| unop | FAJALOU, heh, cd && sudo umount /home/louie/Network | 08:40 |
| FAJALOU | cd to where? | 08:40 |
| unop | FAJALOU, cd on it's own takes you to your $HOME directory | 08:40 |
| debCarlos | FAJALOU, if you write cd alone, it takes you to home | 08:40 |
| FAJALOU | still says it's busy... | 08:41 |
| _numbers_ | zcat[1]_ do i need reboot now ?? | 08:41 |
| zcat[1]_ | I got lucky.. The laptop I have has a moderately well supported broadcom, and I also have a PC-card and USB that both work right off the live CD... | 08:41 |

| zcat[1]_ | the usual rule is try and keep permissions as limited as you can while still allowing what you need to do. I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do so I can't really give more specific advice. Most software does come with a README though | 08:49 |

| DarkMage2303 | Yeah, but how do I run the disk check? I've never used Ubuntu or any Linux OS | 08:50 |

| limcore_box2 | my ubuntu box is more likelly to be damaged during thunderstorm then my windows XP box. how to fix it? | 08:55 |
| unop | FAJALOU, that's a bit unsafe .. you should run an fsck on the device now to make sure | 08:55 |

| unop | FAJALOU, it was a bit unclear from your mount output which network volume was mounted there - basically you want to fsck the device that housed the shared directory | 08:58 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: mounting /dev/sdb or /dv/sdb1 ? You can't mount a 'drive' .. you can only mount a 'filesystem' | 08:58 |

| Pirate_Hunter | zcat[1]_: If yours work did you have to do any extra steps, if so, what did you do? | 09:02 |

| dorito | no | 09:08 |
| dorito | I double checked | 09:08 |
| linxuz3r | are there new features in compiz fusion | 09:08 |
| dorito | I even copied the directory into another location | 09:08 |

| binbrain | going to take a while, installing all that kde stuff | 09:08 |
| linxuz3r | is true or not | 09:08 |
| Igramul | dorito: Does it contain a file named Makefile? | 09:09 |

| DarkMage2303 | Just looking at some websites | 09:10 |
| DarkMage2303 | :-$ | 09:10 |
| Igramul | dorito: That's for a tool called "automake". I'm no expert with that one... | 09:10 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: sudo mkdir /media/disk | 09:10 |

| dorito | none seem to recognize the command make after ./configure | 09:11 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=$UID | 09:11 |
| zcat[1]_ | .. I think | 09:11 |
| Igramul | dorito: Why don't You run "apt-get install xchat" ? | 09:11 |
| VipOrX | are you trying to install xchat dorito ? | 09:11 |
| Igramul | VipOrX: He is. | 09:12 |
| dorito | is that the xchat ubuntu gets through synaptic? | 09:12 |
| dorito | yes VipOrX | 09:12 |
| Tjbond | is it possible to install .exe games without downloading anything, like wine? | 09:12 |
| DarkMage2303 | done | 09:12 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: no errors? | 09:12 |
| VipOrX | dorito: follow Igramul 's directions | 09:12 |
| DarkMage2303 | nothing came up after I did it | 09:12 |
| dorito | okay | 09:12 |
| DarkMage2303 | so either no errors or it didn't work | 09:12 |
| Igramul | Tjbond: no, you need either wine or VirtualBox. | 09:12 |
| zcat[1]_ | ok, ls /media/disk and you should see all your files (or go there in nautilus) | 09:13 |
| Oprt1 | when i open a URDU webpage, the fonts are not readable 100%, is there any package for URDU fonts? | 09:13 |
| DarkMage2303 | hey! looks like they are | 09:13 |
| Tjbond | I'm a new member to linux, so thats good to know. | 09:13 |
| zcat[1]_ | hey, I rock! ;) | 09:13 |
| VipOrX | dorito: click system, administration, synaptic Its your best friend :) | 09:13 |
| DarkMage2303 | So it should work now? | 09:14 |
| binbrain | I just figured out in my System->Preferences->Sound I can't play the sound tests | 09:14 |
| binbrain | i hear nothing | 09:14 |
| zcat[1]_ | no idea why it didn't automount tho.. | 09:14 |
| DarkMage2303 | okay zcat | 09:14 |
| DarkMage2303 | can I have your baby... even though I am a guy | 09:14 |
| DarkMage2303 | :) | 09:14 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: make a note of how you mounted it.. also 'sudo umount /media/disk' before you unplug it again.. | 09:14 |
| * VipOrX looks at DarkMage2303 | 09:14 | |
| DarkMage2303 | okay | 09:15 |

| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: the -o uid=$UID also should mean you have access to write to it ... | 09:15 |
| Dr_willis | learning the ins and outs of mounting drives... a VERY handy thing to learn. :) | 09:15 |

| binbrain | problem solved | 09:15 |
| zcat[1]_ | .. as your current user, nost just as root | 09:15 |
| DarkMage2303 | <3 | 09:16 |
| dorito | its a gnome version specifically 0.8 | 09:16 |
| DarkMage2303 | You rock zcat :) | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | dorito, xchat does to have it.. i bet its just slid all over/resized to the right side. where you are not seeing it.. | 09:16 |
| binbrain | changing all of the sound preferences to ALSA, the only 1 that worked, fixed all the players | 09:16 |
| dorito | no Dr_willis | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | dorito, xchat-gnome (not sure on tha tone) but the normal xchat does have a user list. | 09:16 |
| dorito | checked on forums | 09:16 |
| VipOrX | dorito: its the same xchat as source, play with the configuration, its in there | 09:16 |
| dorito | it seems that versions lacks that function | 09:16 |
| dorito | oddly | 09:16 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: and if not.. unmounting it and adding the option "-t ntfs-3g" should fix that | 09:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone why is firefox using 102% cpu when watching flash | 09:16 |
| binbrain | so basically, autodetect didn't work for whatever reason | 09:17 |
| DarkMage2303 | LOL | 09:17 |
| VipOrX | userlist needs to be .... er what Dr_willis just said.... god I'm slow tonight | 09:17 |
| zcat[1]_ | Pirate_Hunter: 'cos flash isn't all that efficient? | 09:17 |
| DarkMage2303 | 102% of your CPU? | 09:17 |
| kaiwen | lol | 09:17 |
| kaiwen | never thought that was possible | 09:17 |
| DarkMage2303 | damn flash is awesome and users more of your CPU then you have! | 09:17 |
| Pragmatic9572 | Pirate_Hunter: you just made me spit beer all over my keyboard | 09:17 |
| zcat[1]_ | My CPU also goes to 11 ! | 09:17 |
| DarkMage2303 | uses* | 09:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | DarkMage2303: yup thats what top says | 09:17 |
| jpjacobs | does somebody know whether it is possible to have evolution show the 'send-receive' button , even when I'm not connected to the net? I use fetchmail to get my mail, and would like to be able to see my new mail (fetched by fetchmail) even when i'm offline. | 09:17 |
| dorito | this is driving me nuts it keeps saying no rule to make target | 09:17 |
| dorito | *sadface* | 09:18 |
| DarkMage2303 | I just need to get WoW working then I never have to use vista again | 09:18 |
| DarkMage2303 | woot | 09:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | zcat[1]_: right now flsh is pausaed and firefox is at 96%cpu | 09:18 |
| dorito | DarkMage2303 its do-able | 09:18 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, or just stay with IRC - the ultimate MMORPG | 09:18 |
| DarkMage2303 | lol | 09:18 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: I got WoW going in WINE.. it was surprisingly easy! | 09:18 |
| unop | dorito, either the source package you are trying to build does not support any make targets, or you are in the wrong directory | 09:18 |
| VipOrX | lol | 09:18 |
| Oprt1 | i want to open http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/ , BUT i cant see the contents of the website, how to install urdu package in ubuntu 8.04 ? | 09:18 |
| Tjbond | i dont get how to do wine stuff | 09:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | DarkMage2303: yah flash uses 95-100+ cpu hmmm is this bug with flash9? | 09:19 |
| DarkMage2303 | Does Ubuntu have anyway to safely remove hardware, like Windows has? | 09:19 |
| VipOrX | Tjbond: install win, double click your exe | 09:19 |
| dorito | unop I tried with two different packages both instructions say make | 09:19 |
| dorito | and I am in the right directory :S | 09:19 |
| zcat[1]_ | "flash is nonfree software, therefore we cannot provide support for it" ;) | 09:19 |
| bazhang | DarkMage2303, sure; right click safely remove option | 09:19 |
| dorito | root@dorito-desktop:~/xchat-2.8.6# | 09:19 |
| DarkMage2303 | lol | 09:19 |
| Tjbond | i thought i installed wine.. | 09:20 |
| unop | dorito, do you have a README or INSTALL file in that directory? | 09:20 |
| Tjbond | but i guess not... | 09:20 |
| Tjbond | argh lol | 09:20 |
| dorito | yep | 09:20 |
| jpjacobs | read them | 09:20 |
| VipOrX | dorito, the xchat synaptic is _the same_ xchat you are trying to compile | 09:20 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: normally the disk would automount and you get an icon for it on your desktop .. and you can right-click that to unmount.. "sudo umount" is the *NIX equivalent of "safely remove." | 09:20 |
| VipOrX | you just have to configure your userlist | 09:21 |
| dorito | VipOrX how do you know? its a different version | 09:21 |
| Oprt1 | no one is helping me :( | 09:21 |
| Oprt1 | this is bad | 09:21 |
| unop | zcat[1]_, some removable devices require you run "sudo eject" too after a "sudo umount" .. like ipods | 09:21 |
| Dr_willis | Oprt1, patience is a virtue. | 09:21 |
| VipOrX | dorito: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xchat | 09:21 |

| Oprt1 | Dr_willis: i want to open http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/ , BUT i cant see the contents of the website, how to install urdu package in ubuntu 8.04 | 09:21 |
| kaiwen | Oprt1 apt-get install urdu | 09:22 |
| Slart | Oprt1: it works here.. and I can assure you I've never installed any urdu fonts.. I'm not even sure what it is =) | 09:22 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: Hmm.. wasn't aware of that!! Glad I didn't mess up any ipods becaise of that | 09:22 |
| Oprt1 | awww thanks | 09:22 |
| Dr_willis | Oprt1, ive never heard of 'urdu' befor. so cant help. really. | 09:22 |
| dorito | Okay lets see | 09:22 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2007/05/16/enabling-urdu-support-in-ubuntu/ Oprt1 | 09:22 |
| kaiwen | Oprt1 or nvmd. | 09:22 |
| Oprt1 | thanks guys | 09:22 |
| bazhang | np | 09:22 |
| DarkMage2303 | Ubuntu is so fast at shutting down, it must just kill the applications and not try to close them | 09:22 |
| * Dr_willis tries to compile http://xchat.org/files/source/2.8/xchat-2.8.6.tar.bz2 | 09:22 | |
| zcat[1]_ | Strangely enough it works for me.. If I send you a screenshot can you translate it for me? | 09:23 |
| dorito | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 09:23 |
| dorito | wtf? | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, depends on how you shutdown. :) | 09:23 |

| unop | zcat[1]_, the ipods however are quite smart, they can detect that you have manually ejected and will recover .. but i've seen my ipod hang if I don't use eject properly | 09:23 |
| dorito | Okay I give up for tonight, thanks guys :) | 09:23 |
| VipOrX | dorito, close synaptic | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | and here i am compilingit dorito . | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | dorito, you did do a ./configure , befor you did a make? | 09:23 |
| unop | dorito, you might need to use sudo there | 09:23 |
| Tjbond | omg | 09:23 |
| Tjbond | thanks guys lol | 09:23 |
| Tjbond | got wine to work :) | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | dorito, because its compiling here fine | 09:24 |
| DarkMage2303 | I just use the button in the top right hand corner, Shutdown and it shuts down fast | 09:24 |
| dorito | alright its installing now! | 09:24 |
| DarkMage2303 | and now it is time to setup Wine | 09:24 |
| dorito | :D | 09:24 |
| dorito_ | yay | 09:24 |
| DarkMage2303 | Already downloaded it :) | 09:24 |
| DarkMage2303 | and installed | 09:24 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: Oh... if I right-click unmount/eject ubuntu is probably smart enough to know that.. I never unmounted an ipod from the command line so wasn't a problem.. | 09:24 |
| dorito_ | thanks tons | 09:24 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: 'wine windowsprogram.exe" | 09:24 |
| * Dr_willis dosent bother trying to compile xchat now... :) | 09:25 | |
| VipOrX | lol | 09:25 |
| dorito_ | no that last sudo command did the job | 09:25 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: there's some wine helper programs too, in case you want to switch to win98 or win3.11 for programs that don't get XP | 09:25 |
| Dr_willis | given how xchat normally works over the years.. each new version seems to have less features. | 09:25 |
| zcat[1]_ | Dr_willis: less is more!! | 09:26 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 09:26 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:26 |
| dorito_ | I was surprised to see the latest doesnt have a userlist | 09:26 |
| unop | yea, less is more :) | 09:26 |
| dorito_ | I mean, whats the point? | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | zcat[1]_, yea! we dont need no 'ignore user' on the right click menus. | 09:26 |
| unop | dorito_, it does have a userlist .. select View > User List | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | dorito_, the noirmal xchat under ubuntu - does.. xchat-gnome dosent. (i think) and i normally hide the userlist anyway | 09:26 |
| zcat[1]_ | bah, remind me to set /ignore parts and joins sometime... | 09:26 |
| VipOrX | hey zcat[1]_ | 09:27 |
| Flannel | zcat[1]_: You client should be able to take care of netsplits. | 09:27 |
| zcat[1]_ | .. assuming the program still has that feature... :) | 09:27 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: well basically i have 2 hdds one 250 and one 80 .. the 250 is primary sata and 80 being secondary .. the 250 has a partition with windows on it .. and when i installed ubuntu i dedicated the 80 gb to it .. now since i been using ubuntu since almost a month now i think windows is shit and wanna get rid of it .. how do i format the entire 250 and include it into ubuntu . mind you the 250 is the primary hdd so you think it'll boot from the other | 09:27 |
| johnny`` | how do I remove a torrent in rtorrent? | 09:27 |
| johnny`` | "^K" in the manual but it's not working | 09:27 |
| DarkMage2303 | lol | 09:28 |
| DarkMage2303 | I loaded up WoW and it is so f----- up without Wine | 09:28 |
| DarkMage2303 | and it left my screen resolution huge | 09:28 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, i belive wow may benifit from some 'tweaks' in wine | 09:28 |
| porncake | johnny you know ^ = control ? | 09:28 |
| bazhang | DarkMage2303, no cursing | 09:28 |
| unop | Vegombrei, which harddisk houses /boot ? I'm assuming the second one does? | 09:29 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, somthing to do with gl options i recall.. and thats all i recall | 09:29 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: I'd be inclined to just reinstall to the 250 then copy anything you want to keep from /home on the 80... depends how much you've done with it though | 09:29 |
| === blub is now known as blubbi | ||
| DarkMage2303 | I didn't curse, I used --'s :P | 09:29 |
| DarkMage2303 | I'll brb, restarting my computer. | 09:29 |
| bazhang | DarkMage2303, dont do that | 09:30 |
| unop | DarkMage2303, obfuscated swearing is still swearing. | 09:30 |
| bazhang | we can fill in the blanks | 09:30 |
| DarkMage2303 | k :( | 09:30 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: as I understood.. /dev/sda is all NTFS with GRUB, /dev/sdb is ubuntu.. | 09:30 |
| === num1_ is now known as num1_away | ||
| unop | zcat[1]_, Vegombrei .. it should be as straight forward as formatting the 250G partition and allocating a mount-point .. the MBR should remain untouched, allowing linux to be booted .. but that depends on whether you use grub as the boot manager | 09:31 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: also depends.. it would be 'nicer' to have the first drive be the install... | 09:31 |
| linkmaster03 | where is version.h (for kernel) located? | 09:32 |
| unop | zcat[1]_, i don't think so, it really doesn't make a difference | 09:32 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: well... asthetically ;) | 09:32 |
| unop | linkmaster03, the kernel-headers package probably | 09:32 |
| zcat[1]_ | also large drives tend to have more cache, better speeds... | 09:33 |
| linkmaster03 | unop: ty | 09:33 |
| zcat[1]_ | so there may be some other advantages | 09:33 |
| Gin | my firefox crashes alot when trying to watch youtube videos | 09:33 |
| DarkMage2303 | I am back :) | 09:33 |

| zcat[1]_ | Gin: try installing that? | 09:34 |
| VipOrX | gin: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 09:34 |
| zcat[1]_ | Gin: libflashsupport is a patch to make flash work properly with pulseaudio.. it might help you | 09:35 |
| DarkMage2303 | um | 09:35 |
| Gin | VipOrX, it's already the newest version. but firefox crashes only when there is another software is using the soundcard | 09:35 |
| Tjbond | The website says " If the application asks for a directory to install the application to, select put it under C:\Program Files. " .. I went to install my file, i did just that. It says it cannot copy the file. | 09:36 |
| DarkMage2303 | I am getting the error again.. :( | 09:36 |
| zcat[1]_ | what error? | 09:36 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | Wine infuriates me, more often than not it pretends like it's gonna work | 09:36 |
| DarkMage2303 | unable to mount.. | 09:36 |
| DarkMage2303 | /me hdies. | 09:36 |
| * DarkMage2303 hides. | 09:36 | |
| AlmightyCthulhu | and then it totally corrupts my display and bombs out | 09:37 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, you dide3nt take notes earlier? :) | 09:37 |
| DarkMage2303 | I got some stuff, but not such :( | 09:37 |
| DarkMage2303 | much* | 09:37 |
| smurfslayer | hey there, anyone can help me with hiding pci devices? | 09:37 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=$UID | 09:37 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | Say what you will about Cedega, it does have better DirectX/DirectPlay | 09:37 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, i was in and out all day. the basics was somthing like 'sudo mount /dev/SOMEDEVICVENAME /media/SOMEPOINT -o someoptions | 09:38 |
| DarkMage2303 | I'm gonna turn on logging for this | 09:38 |
| smurfslayer | i try to hide an isdn card by putting pciback.hide options as kernel option | 09:38 |
| smurfslayer | but the device is still listed in lspci | 09:38 |
| DarkMage2303 | udo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=$UID does the trick | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, it pays to do some googling/reading of how linux mounts devices. :) its a very very fundamental thing wiorth knowing. | 09:38 |
| DarkMage2303 | s* | 09:38 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: I'm still stumped why it's not automounting though | 09:38 |
| smurfslayer | it is a xen machine and i want to use that device in a domU | 09:39 |
| zcat[1]_ | Ohh.. is it external USB or sata or what? | 09:39 |
| Gin | it would ne nice if there is app in the background that can warn me when my /home is almost full . | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | DarkMage2303, also its possible that /dev/sd## may change depending on what other devices you plug in. | 09:39 |
| DarkMage2303 | USB | 09:39 |
| zcat[1]_ | Hmm.. ok, yes. Stumped | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, there are various monitor tools, and you could write a script i guess. :) or applet. | 09:39 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: yes and what Dr_willis says... | 09:39 |
| bazhang | Bodsda, you around? | 09:39 |
| DarkMage2303 | I blame my ex hd | 09:39 |
| DarkMage2303 | >:( | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | I rarely even use any automounting stuff these days. | 09:40 |
| DarkMage2303 | it doesn't like ubuntu since it worked fine on windows xp/vista | 09:40 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, I meant Ubntu should include that by default | 09:40 |
| zcat[1]_ | reformat it as ext3 ... after you copy the files off it of course.. | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, add it to the list of 100000000000+ other things people think it should include by default. :) | 09:40 |
| zcat[1]_ | that will limit your options using it with vista tho | 09:40 |
| DarkMage2303 | kk, I'll copy off my important files then reformat (moving WoW may take a bit, lol) | 09:40 |
| smick002 | when I went to twinview, I have a tear in my wallpaper, a 10 pixel gap on the left-side of the right monitor. changing wallpapers settings doesn't matter so far. what is that? | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | I wonder if anyone else has a stack of 'removeable usb hard drives' like I do.... | 09:41 |
| Dr_willis | I must have 4 of the things now. | 09:41 |
| Tjbond | lol wine is being a bitch, and not workin | 09:41 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, yes, but this one is a must. beside it's not so hard to code it | 09:41 |
| zcat[1]_ | Dr_willis: I have a stack of small laptop drives and a usb-to IDE/SATA adapter .. | 09:41 |
| oddalot | wine never works | 09:41 |
| oddalot | most over rated thing ever | 09:41 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, i dont consider it a must. :) | 09:41 |
| DarkMage2303 | Trying to archive (compress?) 60GB of stuff.. ftw. | 09:42 |
| zcat[1]_ | Who needs a 1G usb stick when I have 10G laptop drives | 09:42 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, I thought Ubuntu was meant for the average joe | 09:42 |
| Dr_willis | zcat[1]_, yep. I keep eyeing the $$ of 1tb hd's | 09:42 |
| unop | Gin, there are a plethora of screenlets and desklets that do this | 09:42 |
| Tjbond | i have a stack of old computer parts, thats about it lol | 09:42 |
| Tjbond | some old 64mb ram's | 09:42 |

| Dr_willis | xokadim, #1 - mirc has nothing to do with Ubuntu. #2 - we do not have pirate/hacked/warzed codes | 09:45 |
| Flannel | xokadim: mIRC isn't in Ubuntu, and we're not really sure what you're asking. You are *probably* looking for another channel, at least. | 09:45 |
| unop | xokadim, ask in #mirc perhaps | 09:45 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, I don't have the time to sit here and watch it | 09:45 |
| Dr_willis | unop, :) | 09:45 |

| xokadim | I would like to know the command register the purchase mirc | 09:46 |
| xokadim | the command / registrarion | 09:46 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, but its sooooo purty. :) handy when doing a lot of filecopies also to external devices that might be getting full also. | 09:46 |
| zcat[1]_ | they're always helpful with reg codes.. | 09:46 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, isn't ubuntu trying to eliminate the usage of the terminal? | 09:46 |
| unop | xokadim, we do not support mirc in here | 09:46 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, Not that i am aware of. | 09:46 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, the terminal is often the BEST tool for the job in many cases. | 09:46 |
| Flannel | xokadim: go to mirc.com, that should tell you. | 09:46 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, it's those small things that make windows userfriendly | 09:46 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, even MS is bringing back the terminal in many ways.. | 09:47 |
| Tjbond | . /nickserv register username password | 09:47 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, i often find the lack of a decent terminal makes windows UNfriendly | 09:47 |
| * trupheenix going mad with wireless on hardy | 09:47 | |
| zcat[1]_ | Gin: I've found that I can do basically everyting via the GUI, and i often walk newbies through doing hings that way if they're uncomfortable with the terminal.. but the terminal is generally the quickest way of doing things | 09:47 |
| Gin | Dr_willis, we're talking userfriendly for non-technical users | 09:47 |
| Dr_willis | Gin, but this is a pointless debate. :) the 2 are different OS's and different tools. Whats better.. a router, or a table saw... it all depends. | 09:47 |

| Tjbond | without pressing the restart button on the actual pc. lol. | 09:49 |
| zcat[1]_ | geek_: aboslutely, yes.. right off the live cd | 09:49 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond well, i doubt it'll lock up unless u really try to make it locked up | 09:49 |
| DarkMage2303 | I was about to suggest the button :( | 09:49 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: the 'any' key? | 09:50 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond if the gui locks up you can go to terminal by ctrl+alt+f3 | 09:50 |
| Tjbond | It already did lock up once :P | 09:50 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond login and then reboot from there | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | Wheres the 'Any' Key? | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 09:50 |

| kaiwen | Tjbond so gui. Then do what i suggested, it'll go to terminal | 09:51 |

| zcat[1]_ | Sorry.. wasn't following the whole discussion.. was ctrl-alt-backspace mentioned already? | 09:52 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond, well, u only asked to reboot w/o pressing the button | 09:53 |
| Tjbond | yep | 09:53 |
| kaiwen | zcat[1]_ that resets X | 09:53 |
| Tjbond | is there a way to change the network speed? | 09:53 |
| Tjbond | eg: from 100mb/s to 10mb/s | 09:53 |
| zcat[1]_ | you would want to ? | 09:54 |
| unop | Tjbond, see the ethtool documentation | 09:54 |
| zcat[1]_ | (but yes, there probably is) | 09:54 |
| Tjbond | lol, yes i would want to | 09:54 |
| DarkMage2303 | How long do you guys think it will take to compress about 20 GB worth of data? | 09:54 |
| Tjbond | runs smoother on 10mb connection. | 09:54 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond man ethtool | 09:54 |
| eth01 | 5 minutes for me | 09:54 |
| kaiwen | bye guyz, it's like two in teh morning here | 09:55 |
| kaiwen | time to sleep with beary | 09:55 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: about as long as it takes to suck through USB2 I think | 09:55 |
| Tjbond | where do i find ethtool lol | 09:55 |
| DarkMage2303 | :( | 09:55 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond, wow | 09:55 |
| Tjbond | I tell ya, im new to linux | 09:55 |
| unop | DarkMage2303, that is so dependant on many factory, how fast your processor is, how much memory you have, how fast your harddisk access speeds are, etc | 09:55 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond go to terminal type in ethtool | 09:55 |
| Tjbond | i just installed it last night. | 09:55 |
| unop | s/factory/factors/ | 09:55 |
| kaiwen | Tjbond, click applications, go to system go to terminal | 09:55 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: not that long, perhals a half hour or an hour at a wild guess | 09:55 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: I suspect mostly limited by it being a USB drive | 09:56 |
| kaiwen | bye@! | 09:56 |
| unop | zcat[1]_, and the compression tool and algorithm | 09:56 |
| DarkMage2303 | I only have 1GB Ram D: | 09:56 |
| unop | zcat[1]_, which in turn depends on processing speeds too | 09:56 |
| fehrp | how much space in / (excluding /home) should be reserved for a standard desktop computer in GB? | 09:56 |
| zcat[1]_ | unop: depends where the bottleneck is | 09:56 |
| Tjbond | ethtool and run ethtool doesnt work. | 09:56 |
| DarkMage2303 | my computer is like 4 years old so I got it from my dads work for free :) | 09:57 |
| fehrp | I mean, what is a good size for the root partition? | 09:57 |
| unop | zcat[1]_, that's what i mean, the bottleneck could be anywhere .. there is no telling | 09:57 |
| unop | fehrp, depends, 2GB does me fine .. I'd say 10GB is more than safe | 09:58 |
| zcat[1]_ | DarkMage2303: did you do tar -v so you have something to stare at? | 09:58 |
| DarkMage2303 | man you guys have no idea how exciting it is watching 5 files which are all a few GB in size being archieved it | 09:59 |
| DarkMage2303 | is | 09:59 |
| DarkMage2303 | Seriously, It'll blow your mind | 09:59 |

| fehrp | unop, I have 36GB in total, I would like to keep it small | 10:00 |

| Tjbond | argh | 10:00 |
| DarkMage2303 | anyway I might as well try to setup Wine | 10:00 |
| Tjbond | ethtool -s 10 ?? | 10:00 |
| Dr_willis | Tjbond, why are you trying to slow down the network card? | 10:00 |
| zcat[1]_ | fehrp: for small drives it's often best to just make the whole thing / and some swap... then you only run out whrn you really, completely run out... | 10:01 |
| DarkMage2303 | I would prefer to spreed UP my network card.. | 10:01 |
| === Lunenfeld is now known as Lunenfeld_away | ||
| Tjbond | because it runs smoother on 10mb connection, then it does with 100. | 10:01 |
| Vegombrei | basically i have 2 hdds one 250 and one 80 .. the 250 is primary sata and 80 being secondary .. the 250 has a partition with windows on it .. and when i installed ubuntu i dedicated the 80 gb to it .. now since i been using ubuntu since almost a month now i think windows is shit and wanna get rid of it .. how do i format the entire 250 and include it into ubuntu . mind you the 250 is the primary hdd so you think it'll boot from the other ??? | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | Tjbond, that makes very little sence. rember to use 'sudo' with ethtool, good luck. | 10:02 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: i dont wanna reinstall .. ive spent a lot of time tweaking ubuntu and dont think i can do it all over again | 10:02 |

| _numbers_ | no | 10:03 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:03 |
| unop | Vegombrei, it's as simple as reformatting the 250G partition | 10:03 |
| DarkMage2303 | What folder does Ubuntu install files in? like on windows its the C:\Program Files\ | 10:03 |
| bazhang | _numbers_, then that would help :) | 10:03 |

| Dr_willis | fehrp, as i said. it depends on your needs. | 10:08 |

| Vegombrei | unop: so should i just delete all lines after ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ?? | 10:08 |

| fehrp | sorry :) yeah, I won't use vmware | 10:09 |
| Dr_willis | fehrp, i also have NFS home i can use.. so it all depends on what you are doing. You can always move things around later | 10:10 |
| Vegombrei | unop: ok hold on | 10:10 |
| Bodsda | what is 8.04.1 ? | 10:10 |
| fehrp | Bodsda: i know, that's why I'm doing it | 10:10 |
| Fructose | Bodsda: A release of Ubuntu | 10:10 |

| Dr_willis | we dont use the term 'service pack 1 ubuntu' | 10:10 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, whats a point update, is this an lts special thing? | 10:10 |
| geek_ | Fructose: they are about the same. i think updating normally should fix it | 10:10 |

| Flannel | Fructose, geek_: installing 8.04 and then updating completely is the same as installing 8.04.1 and updating completely (if it were the day 8.04.1 was released, an updated 8.04 would be identical) | 10:15 |
| geek_ | Flannel: in which case.. he could check his kernel? | 10:16 |
| geek_ | since my system is up to date, and i recall one kernel update | 10:16 |
| geek_ | Fructose: try uname -r | 10:16 |
| Fructose | 2.6.24-16 | 10:17 |

| Flannel | Fructose: Running an old kernel *could* be causing it. Being up to date is a good starting point, at any rate. | 10:20 |

| echo6 | Fructose: might be irq allocation problem | 10:21 |
| havocstorm | wtf is with nbc and cnn | 10:23 |
| Fructose | echo6: It might be a lot of things | 10:23 |
| havocstorm | why do they require windows media player and windows to run | 10:23 |
| unop | Vegombrei, sorry, had to do something .. delete everything after line 170 | 10:24 |
| Fructose | havocstorm: Because they're evil. Get used to it. | 10:24 |
| echo6 | Fructose: Indeed, I only mention that because it was something I used to experience on an old Dell laptop, and the fix was to supply some modprobe options when loading up the module | 10:24 |
| havocstorm | Fructose, lets brezak into their headquarters and sneak ubuntu onto everything | 10:25 |
| geek_ | Fructose: what happens if you boot up with it in it? | 10:25 |
| havocstorm | then set whine on start-up | 10:25 |

| whitedox | hi. Anybody got a link to a free stream of anything? (testing MMS thing). | 10:25 |

| Vegombrei | unop: you sure about this right ? if i boot my machine it will boot from the secondary drive and into ubuntu ? | 10:25 |
| Fructose | geek_: Kernel panic | 10:25 |
| _hase | Ok, so I just installed Ubuntu on my new laptop and I can't get my sound to work, I have a Intel Corporation 82801H soundcard | 10:25 |
| unop | Vegombrei, yes, i am. | 10:26 |
| geek_ | Fructose: well what happens with other PCIMCIA cards? | 10:27 |
| Vegombrei | unop: done .. deleted and saved file ! | 10:27 |
| Fructose | geek_: I don't have any others at the moment | 10:27 |
| unop | Vegombrei, when you are done with this .. you need to reformat the 250GB partition (i'm assuming it is /dev/sda1 .. but do verify) with sudo mkfs.ext3 -L "label you want" /dev/sda1 # beware there is no going back from this, you lose windows entirely | 10:27 |
| _numbers_ | whats the best wine to install | 10:28 |
| Vegombrei | unop: how do i check if its sda1 or 0 ? | 10:28 |
| unop | Vegombrei, examine the output of sudo fdisk -l | 10:29 |
| echo6 | Fructose: Does it give any error message before kernel_panic? | 10:29 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| fyrestrtr | _numbers_: the one you get when you do sudo apt-get install wine | 10:29 |
| Fructose | echo6: It spits out a lot of stuff. I've already Googled for it. | 10:29 |
| _numbers_ | thank you | 10:29 |
| unop | Vegombrei, actually .. it probably is better if you use gparted for this .. it will set the appropriate partition type, etc | 10:29 |
| whitedox | Kind of new to ubuntu..Where do I find sources.list? | 10:30 |
| unop | Vegombrei, you might need to install gparted if it isn't already installed | 10:30 |
| unop | whitedox, /etc/apt/ | 10:30 |
| afallenhope | hey what's the three things you need to install? build-essential.. and what was the others? | 10:30 |
| whitedox | thanks | 10:30 |

| jshriver | greetings | 10:30 |
| jshriver | any vim ppl here? need help | 10:30 |
| Fructose | jshriver: You know about #vim right? | 10:30 |
| jshriver | nope sorry | 10:30 |
| Abhay | ya tell me | 10:31 |
| jshriver | but my question is ubunto specific it seems | 10:31 |
| Abhay | JShriver | 10:31 |
| jshriver | basically... when I run vim/vi | 10:31 |
| Vegombrei | unop: dude may i pvt msg ya ? | 10:31 |
| jshriver | and try to arrow up/down/left/right | 10:31 |
| unop | Vegombrei, looks like the first disk has two partitions .. do you want to keep the disk partitioned, or consolidate everything? | 10:31 |
| jshriver | I get C and some weird characters | 10:31 |
| afallenhope | anyone? | 10:31 |
| jshriver | arrow keys dont work | 10:31 |
| jshriver | but every other vi I've tried allows me to use arrow keys | 10:31 |
| jshriver | any tips? | 10:31 |
| unop | Vegombrei, you may, but it's better if we keep the conversation here, other people can contribute and learn. | 10:31 |
| Vegombrei | unop: i wanna wipe out everything from the first disk ... ubuntu is on the second disk | 10:32 |
| fyrestrtr | jshriver: install vim, not vi | 10:32 |
| afallenhope | hey I can't get vmware to install.. says somethign about my modules? anyone know? | 10:32 |
| afallenhope | !vmware | 10:32 |
| jshriver | ok let me check | 10:32 |
| ubottu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 10:32 |
| Vegombrei | unop: wanna make it one single 250 gb hdd | 10:32 |
| Fructose | jshriver: That's not Ubuntu-specific. Some versions of vi/vim do not use the arrow keys. You use hjkl instead | 10:32 |
| geek_ | afallenhope: to do what? | 10:32 |
| afallenhope | geek_, just the three basics.. | 10:32 |
| unop | Vegombrei, ok, use gparted then .. delete both the partitions and format the resulting one | 10:32 |
| jshriver | What is the diff | 10:32 |
| unop | Vegombrei, let me know when you are done with this. | 10:32 |
| unop | !info gparted | Vegombrei | 10:33 |
| ubottu | vegombrei: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 339 kB, installed size 2100 kB | 10:33 |
| geek_ | afallenhope: er... the ability to compile isn't 'basic' ;p | 10:33 |
| daftpunk | Would somebody know how to change MAC address in ubuntu? | 10:33 |
| Vegombrei | unop: im a noob .. doono what gparted is dude | 10:33 |
| geek_ | Vegombrei: its like partition magic | 10:33 |
| Dr_willis | daftpunk, i think the ifconfig, or ethtool tool can do that.. (but ive never done so) | 10:33 |
| Vegombrei | geek_: ah ok .. how do i get it ? | 10:33 |
| unop | Vegombrei, it's a GUI tool that helps you with partitioning and formatting etc .. quite intuitive | 10:33 |
| daftpunk | thank you | 10:33 |
| geek_ | Vegombrei: its on the live disk | 10:33 |
| daftpunk | I'll try that | 10:33 |
| holycow | daftpunk: macchanger | 10:34 |
| unop | Vegombrei, sudo aptitude install gparted | 10:34 |
| Vegombrei | unop: can i sudo apt-get install gparted ?? | 10:34 |
| holycow | you will haveto add it to interfaces to make it stick after reboot | 10:34 |
| unop | Vegombrei, you can yes, to the same effect | 10:34 |
| Fructose | daftpunk: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html | 10:34 |
| daftpunk | thanks man | 10:35 |
| Vegombrei | unop: done .. | 10:35 |
| jshriver | thanks that worked | 10:35 |
| unop | Vegombrei, finished formatting already? | 10:35 |
| Vegombrei | unop: lemme run gparted and see if i can figure it out | 10:35 |
| unop | Vegombrei, ok | 10:35 |
| cs02rm0 | has anyone ever seen grub seem to be shifted halfway down the screen with the bottom wrapped back down from the top before? | 10:36 |
| holycow | yes | 10:37 |
| tymchn | how can I create a raid device with the "desktop" install iso? | 10:37 |
| holycow | thats an x bug | 10:37 |
| cs02rm0 | do you know of a fix? | 10:37 |
| holycow | move2 your mouse to the edge and over it will realign it self | 10:38 |
| holycow | restart gdm, my fix id to drop gnome and use kde | 10:38 |
| holycow | i have no idea if there is a real fix | 10:38 |
| Vegombrei | unop: ok i can see the partitions of drive 1 in gparted .. should i just select all and delete ? | 10:38 |
| cs02rm0 | x isn't running by the time grub is though is it? | 10:39 |
| unop | Vegombrei, that's the idea .. though you might have to delete each one individually first | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | cs02rm0, nope. Try the auto sync button on your LCD or adjust it manually | 10:40 |
| whitedox | Any hopes of something that can play DRM'd content without dual booting windows/vmwaring? | 10:40 |
| Vegombrei | unop: i deleted the fat32 partition and now it wont let me delete the ntfs | 10:40 |
| cs02rm0 | DistroJockey: even if once X is up everything's positioned fine? | 10:40 |
| afallenhope | hey having an issue installing VMware says osmething about modules not being suitable.. what do I have to install again? | 10:41 |
| geek_ | afallenhope: hmm any-any patch? | 10:41 |
| DistroJockey | cs02rm0, they are different video modes. Auto sync will sync per resolution | 10:41 |
| DjViper | afallenhope: vmware any-any update | 10:42 |
| cs02rm0 | DistroJockey: ok, thanks, i'll give that whirl later | 10:42 |
| Vegombrei | unop: wont even let me delete the extended | 10:42 |
| DistroJockey | cs02rm0, you're welcome | 10:42 |
| afallenhope | DjViper, please elabl on that | 10:42 |
| DjViper | afallenhope: just google it, so you get the latest v. | 10:42 |
| afallenhope | I do | 10:42 |
| afallenhope | It has to do with somehting about the modules not being compatible with my kernel | 10:42 |
| havocstorm | hey guys | 10:43 |
| DarkMage2303 | Ahh I'm gonna hop off IRC. | 10:43 |
| unop | Vegombrei, you might need to apply this action first, let it delete the first partition before you can move on to the second | 10:43 |

| SmileyTSL | Hi, i've started using Windows XP through Sun xVirtualBox and just now, when I tried to plug in my iPod touch to work with iTunes, both Ubuntu and Windows recognized it as a "digital camera". Could I resolve this in any way? I don't want to dual-boot to sync my iPod, i'll switch back to Windows if it doesn't work. | 10:43 |
| havocstorm | any idea how to fix that | 10:43 |
| DarkMage2303 | only 9:43 PM for me but I'm bored on here | 10:43 |
| SmileyTSL | @Havocstorm: Try installing Flash 10. I used to have that problem with Flash 9. | 10:43 |
| DistroJockey | cs02rm0, sometimes EDID will confuse X but that is separate from the grub screen issue | 10:43 |
| havocstorm | where can I install that | 10:43 |
| SmileyTSL | Flash 9 makes Firefox freeze and possibly crash sometimes. | 10:43 |
| havocstorm | Repositories or website download? | 10:43 |
| SmileyTSL | Just a sec, i'll look for the exact URL... | 10:44 |
| havocstorm | thanks | 10:44 |
| SmileyTSL | Here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz | 10:45 |
| Vegombrei | unop: i applied it and it refreshed and deleted the fat32 but still wont give me an option to delete the ntfs and ext | 10:45 |
| Niohoggr | hi | 10:45 |

| hiptobecubic | I'm trying to patch pidgin, but it seems like the pidgin that installs from the repos doesn't have the same tree structure as if it had been compiled locally. Forexample, where is switchboard.o ? | 10:46 |
| havocstorm | thanks | 10:46 |
| Slart | Niohoggr: just ask your question | 10:46 |
| havocstorm | SmileyTSL, thanks man | 10:46 |
| Niohoggr | I have installed an ATi diver that - I assume - Synaptic found for my x1650 | 10:46 |
| SmileyTSL | @Havocstorm: Be sure to use Terminal to install this version. | 10:46 |
| DistroJockey | havocstorm, 10 will probably be the same as 9 in your situation. It's a bug in Firefox 3.0.1 that should be fixed in 3.0.2 | 10:46 |
| Niohoggr | and now, it shows only a white blank screen when logging into the last session | 10:46 |
| ilian | is flash 10 stable saw that is beta | 10:47 |
| SmileyTSL | @DistroJockey: Nope, I had that issue and it resolved itself when I switch to 10. | 10:47 |
| Niohoggr | why? And how can I change that? | 10:47 |
| Mythril | I'm trying to recover data off of an old system, how do I mount my ext3 partition so that I can read all of the files? | 10:47 |
| SmileyTSL | *switched | 10:47 |
| havocstorm | SmileyTSL, uh... downloading doesn't work? | 10:47 |
| unop | Vegombrei, try deleting the partition from the command line with. sudo cfdisk /dev/sda | 10:47 |
| unop | Vegombrei, make sure you close gparted first tho | 10:47 |
| SmileyTSL | And yes, 10 is very stable. | 10:47 |
| hiptobecubic | ilian, i'm using flash 10 right now, it's more stable than 9 for me. 9 crashes constantly | 10:47 |
| Niohoggr | Soo... any ideas on my problem? | 10:48 |
| havocstorm | DistroJockey, any idea when 3.0.2 is coming out? | 10:48 |
| DistroJockey | SmileyTSL, ahh, ok. I recently tried Intrepid with FF 3.0.1 and install flash 10 and it crashed straight away. Where as Hardy with FF 3.0.1 with flash 9 works fine for me | 10:48 |
| SmileyTSL | (Erm, Pidgin disconnected for no reason. Weird.) | 10:48 |
| Vegombrei | unop: done .. it let me delete it .. | 10:48 |
| DistroJockey | havocstorm, not really, but it can't be far away | 10:48 |
| SmileyTSL | Ah, ok. Maybe it's system-specific. | 10:48 |

I defined a static ip and setup the dns, gateway and all such other stuff. but now I cannot acces the internet! I used the networking tool to do a... | 11:04 |
| Laptopuser | ...traceroute to the ipadress of yahoo.com and it does show me a route, but it takes about 20 seconds... I can ping my local gateway and the ping time is 0.5 ms so that is okay... but still internet does not work!!! please help! | 11:04 |
| Niohoggr | it did, though I tried nothing else than ubuntu itself on it, so no games or sorte | 11:04 |
| Niohoggr | *sorta | 11:04 |

| Niohoggr | though, I have no idea how to run it | 11:06 |
| Laptopuser | yes, I believe so. I had internet acces before on the exact same ubuntu install!! | 11:06 |
| Slart | hiptobecubic: nope.. no switchboard.o that I could find | 11:06 |
| IrishDavid | hello, how can i install network manager 0.7? | 11:06 |

| EnjoyMe | LobbyZ Press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE | 11:09 |
| Niohoggr | DistroJockey: Niohoggr, it'd change /etc/X11/xorg.conf back to use ati instead of fglrx --- so how i do that? | 11:09 |
| DistroJockey | LobbyZ, a logout should do it | 11:10 |
| Slart | IrishDavid: and hope it still works with the rest of the system | 11:10 |

| Slart | php6th: well.. gimp kind of dominates that area.. you could try fspot perhaps | 11:10 |
| msegeya | thanks!! | 11:11 |
| DistroJockey | Niohoggr, you would need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:11 |

| ZetaS | Hi. Where can I get some help in installing Ubuntu on an integrated Sony architecture PC? My screen goes blank and can't do anything... :( | 11:13 |
| Slart | php6th: I haven't tried it myself though.. but it might be worth a look | 11:13 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: yeah just ntfs and fat .. there was an ext in the ntfs i deleted them all and now its writing new partition for the full disk usage as max expert user | 11:13 |

| php6th | EnjoyMe: does photochop is fast on ubuntu?? the old versions were so slow | 11:13 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, i imagine you are doing this to install some video drivers? you did use the restricted-drivers tools to install the ones in the repos first? | 11:13 |
| wanderingii | IndyGunFreak, how do i do that? | 11:13 |
| EnjoyMe | php6th, i see no difference | 11:13 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (normally works for me) | 11:13 |
| Gopan | yep | 11:13 |
| EnjoyMe | at load it lags alittle | 11:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | wanderingii: | 11:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | do what? | 11:13 |
| Gopan | hay | 11:14 |
| wanderingii | use sudo | 11:14 |
| EnjoyMe | but functionality it is the same | 11:14 |
| ZetaS | guess it has something to do with the video card... @Slart: not yet, just the default downloaded CD | 11:14 |

| EnjoyMe | no exra lag in applying filters, etc. | 11:14 |

| Dr_willis | wanderingii, some how your hostname and the hosts file are not in sync. the bot has a factouid on this issue | 11:16 |
| Dr_willis | !hostname | wanderingii | 11:16 |
| ubottu | wanderingii: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 11:16 |
| moDumass | hey all, um, my tomboy notes wont open, it jsut throws some error message and wont work, | 11:16 |
| LobbyZ | Sorry i crashed | 11:16 |
| Sofisti1 | IndyGunFreak: in system? No i cannot view it on that | 11:17 |
| moDumass | The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:TomboyApplet". | 11:17 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, i have the same laptop, what's the issue? | 11:17 |
| LobbyZ | Dr_willis, so ? | 11:17 |
| hiptobecubic | vid drivers? | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: ... where are you now?.. are you booting to a CLI or what? | 11:17 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: using gparted or cfdisk ? | 11:17 |
| vaxire | My system is broked | 11:17 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: i cannot use opengl | 11:17 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: cfdisk (or just fdisk, which I'm more familiar with) | 11:17 |
| vaxire | He use much RAM | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | hiptobecubic: i think he tried plugging someone elses xorg into his system.. but im not sure. | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | hes not making sense | 11:18 |
| vaxire | Some player can't read files | 11:18 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: ok its asking me to restart ... i was afraid of this one ... you think it'll boot ?? | 11:18 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, so what? :) for that old a card you proberly want the nvidia-glx-legacy package.. I think... | 11:18 |
| hiptobecubic | i see... | 11:18 |
| LobbyZ | Dr_willis, well it did install nvidia-glx | 11:18 |
| hiptobecubic | Are you using the restricted drivers Sofisti1 ? | 11:18 |
| drezard | US$5 through paypal to whoever will help me with my server problem.... | 11:18 |
| vaxire | So, I have reinstalled the system but the problem's are not resolved | 11:18 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, -glx is not the same as -glx-legacy one is for older cards. | 11:18 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: ok, what drive were ou working on? /dev/sda? | 11:18 |
| Sofisti1 | not now hiptobecubic | 11:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | hiptobecubic: i just asked him that, and he can't put together an understandable answer. | 11:19 |
| LobbyZ | oh? then i'll go look for it | 11:19 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: or should i change the boot sequence thru bios ? | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | have fun | 11:19 |
| hiptobecubic | That looks like an understandable answer to me | 11:19 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, the !nvidia bot factoid has links to what cards need what drivers. | 11:19 |
| Sofisti1 | i tried a lot of things but with no results | 11:19 |
| vaxire | So, I have deleted the /home part. But now I can't use the system | 11:19 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, so what drivers are you using then? | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | hiptobecubic: scroll up, the one he gave me was quite a bit more cryptic. | 11:19 |
| LobbyZ | ok | 11:19 |
| Sofisti1 | I'm sorry for my english IndyGunFreak and hiptobecubic | 11:19 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: GRUB will be on the MBR of that first drive.. you don't want to thange the boot order | 11:19 |
| vaxire | How set my /home partition to the system ? | 11:19 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: yes .. the primary drive is the one we just repartioned .. im working on the secondary drive | 11:19 |
| Sofisti1 | let me see hiptobecubic | 11:19 |
| zcat[1]_ | *change rather | 11:19 |
| LobbyZ | If you diden't notice it already, i'm a complete ubuntu newbie | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: its a simple question.. your english isn't that bad | 11:19 |
| wanderingii | Dr_willis, thanks. i dont have a file wanderingii-desktop in the etc directory but i do have a hosts file there. what do i need to add to it? i have a line 127.0.0.1 wanderingii-desktop.HOME is that enough? | 11:20 |
| Sofisti1 | i using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2 | 11:20 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: ok, so 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' now shows just one partition, type 'linux', spanning the whole drive? | 11:20 |
| Dr_willis | wanderingii, i would check the bots factoids. I seem to recall some others having issues with the .HOME type name at the end of the hostname in the hosts file. but I have very little personal experience with the problem. | 11:21 |
| cih997 | hi, has anyone experience with wifi intel 3945? newest driver iwl3945 decrease speed to max 10Kbps after few minutes, older driver, ipw3945 crash connecions after few minutes (ubuntu 8.04 i386, same problem with ubuntu studio amd64 and ubuntu amd64) | 11:21 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, where did you find that and are you using 64bit on purpose? | 11:21 |
| moDumass | arghh, um, how would i open a tomby not if tomboy notes is broken | 11:21 |
| executionist | i am unable to scan for channels using tvtime in trying to watch tv, any solution for this? | 11:21 |
| Dr_willis | wanderingii, im not sure why theres a .HOME a tthe end of your hostname. | 11:21 |
| Slart | wanderingii: I have to remove the .home part on my system for it to work.. give it a try | 11:21 |
| msegeya | what tools are best in webdesign in Ubuntu? | 11:21 |
| Slart | !best | msegeya | 11:22 |
| ubottu | msegeya: 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. | 11:22 |
| hiptobecubic | msegeya, vim | 11:22 |
| zcat[1]_ | msegeya: nano! | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | Slart, i was thinking that also. :) but i got no idea how that .HOME got in there. | 11:22 |
| wanderingii | thanks. i am only setting up a computer i installed ubuntu on and its all above me at the minute. i have to be a root to edit the hosts file, how do i do that? | 11:22 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: yes .. spanning the entire drive it has just one linux partition | 11:22 |
| Sofisti1 | I made all of this changing according to italian IRC but they hadn't solve the problem | 11:22 |
| msegeya | thanx | 11:22 |
| Sofisti1 | i'm not an expertise so ... | 11:22 |
| Slart | Dr_willis: I'm guessing it's some kind of awahi domain name thingy | 11:22 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: cool. Now 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sda1' if that's the partition you just created | 11:22 |
| EnjoyMe | http://shawn.blogsrc.com | 11:22 |
| EnjoyMe | had too | 11:22 |

| dummy566f | moDumass, cat ? | 11:23 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, so did they have you disable the restricted drivers manager? | 11:23 |
| LobbyZ | Ok, i got the legacy driver now | 11:23 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: you are using restricted? | 11:23 |
| moDumass | dummy556f what do you mean? | 11:23 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: it says Could not stat /dev/sda1 --- No such file or directory | 11:23 |
| Vegombrei | The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? | 11:23 |
| Sofisti1 | yes hiptobecubic | 11:23 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, i installed my drivers manually. | 11:23 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: hey we didnt format the drive dude | 11:24 |
| LobbyZ | Dr_willis, don't i have to install the driver from the nvidias website? | 11:24 |
| zcat[1]_ | Vegombrei: Oh.. reboot then. It should be fine. Have faith ;) | 11:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | LobbyZ: not really, thats what hardware driver mgr is for. | 11:24 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: :) | 11:24 |
| LobbyZ | Oh? | 11:24 |
| Vegombrei | zcat[1]_: brb , Hopefully hehehe | 11:24 |
| phenom | hai all.. | 11:24 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: can you tell me a link where you are in web (if it exist) where i can follow all the steps? | 11:25 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, i'm looking for the driver that i'm using. give me a second | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, I never use the ones from their web site. | 11:25 |
| phenom | anyone have the amd 780G mainboard? | 11:25 |
| LobbyZ | Dr_willis, oh ok | 11:26 |
| phenom | hello.. | 11:26 |
| tomoyuki28jp | When I try to use IRC client on Emacs, I got this error'*** No identd (auth) response'. This means I have to install identd on my ubuntu?? | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | LobbyZ, thats the reason they are in the package manager/repos so you dont have to mess with the web site. :) You are thinking in 'windows' ways of doing things | 11:26 |
| dummy566f | moDumass, cat the file to stdout. It might work depending on the file format | 11:26 |
| zcat[1]_ | brb | 11:26 |
| wanderingii | how is the root user supposed to login? tryed logging out and using root as my username but i says root cannot login through the normal screen | 11:26 |
| LobbyZ | Dr_willis, yeah .. I kinda screwed up my hdd's MBR so i had to use Ubuntu | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | tomoyuki28jp, identd is normally not needed for most irc servers. thats proberly just a warning. | 11:26 |
| LobbyZ | lucky me i had the LiveCD | 11:26 |
| moDumass | dummy566f thanks | 11:26 |

| Dr_willis | tomoyuki28jp, some servers might want one.. but ive not seen any in ages that did. | 11:27 |
| dns53 | wanderingii gdm blocks root by default, you need to reconfigure gdm if you are going to logn as root, don't login as root, sudo is safer | 11:27 |
| phenom | please help me about compiz on ati | 11:27 |
| wanderingii | well i cant get in as sudo becasue it says it cant resolve wanderingii-desktop and i cant edit the hosts file as im not a root user so what can i do? | 11:28 |
| tomoyuki28jp | Dr_willis: I see, thanks for the info! | 11:28 |
| Slart | wanderingii: use the recovery boot thingy | 11:28 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, can you pastebin your xorg.conf for me? | 11:28 |
| mesut | is there a selinux on ubuntu-server howto ? | 11:28 |
| sjovan | hi guys. i got a problem mounting my cd-burner. it's on the the raid port. could it have something to do with it? http://pastebin.com/d5d57ecef | 11:29 |
| Slart | wanderingii: when you boot there's two options for each kernel version in grub.. one normal and one for recovery.. the recovery one will get you a root shell I think | 11:29 |
| dns53 | wanderingii ctrl alt f1-f6 and login as root there | 11:29 |
| Dr_willis | wanderingii, the normal fix is to boot to single user mode/rescue/recovery mode and edit the /etc/hosts file. Or use a live cd and edit that file | 11:29 |
| Sofisti1 | ok hiptobecubic | 11:29 |
| Dr_willis | wanderingii, unless you have set a root password and can directly login as root. | 11:29 |
| wanderingii | ok i done the ctrl alt f1 thing. edited the file how do i get back to wher ei was? | 11:30 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: http://rafb.net/p/Nb9j6I77.html | 11:31 |
| Dr_willis | wanderingii, alt-ctrl-f7 | 11:31 |
| sjovan | wanderingii: or f9 | 11:31 |
| wanderingii | thank you | 11:31 |
| wanderingii | file is edited | 11:31 |
| wanderingii | excellent. i removed the .HOME and now i can use sudo -i | 11:31 |
| wanderingii | thanks everyone | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | if you had the root password set ya could of used the 'login' command or 'su' command in a xterm window.. heh. | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | but thats not a good habbit :) | 11:32 |
| chazco | Hi... i'm trying to play some .mpeg files in Totem... but i cant fast forward properly (it skips and usually seems to go backwards)... any ideas? It used to work but i had to reinstall Ubuntu and now, while it can play, it cant fast forward. | 11:32 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, try using nvidia-settings to make a new xorg.conf, yours looks kind of empty. I don't see your video drivers, for example. | 11:33 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings | 11:33 |
| wanderingii | what would be the diference in a gtk theme and a gdm theme? | 11:33 |
| Sofisti1 | ok hiptobecubic | 11:34 |
| Dr_willis | wanderingii, gdm is the login screen | 11:34 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, remember to back up your old xorg.conf before you write over it. | 11:34 |
| wanderingii | ah that explains alot. thanks | 11:34 |

| php6th | no way, ive seen a screenshot | 11:37 |
| dns53 | php6th cs is only for mac and windows, you need to install a windows compatability program called 'wine' or a commercial version called cross over office | 11:37 |
| zcat[1] | php6th: it was photoshopped, obviously... | 11:37 |
| php6th | dns53: i have wine | 11:38 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, if you have Synaptic, it has a History available from the File menu | 11:38 |

| varunn3 | hey, can anyone tell me where to get the updated orb screenlet? | 11:43 |
| rakshiv | bah | 11:43 |
| vnix | so don have to use Samba? because it's LAN | 11:43 |
| rakshiv | fingerprint scanning doesn't work | 11:43 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: so if you want to suggest me some tips don't worry | 11:43 |
| rakshiv | or atleast won't work for awhile | 11:43 |
| Dr_willis | vnix, you could also use ssh and winscp to transfer a few files. | 11:44 |
| vnix | I'll try Samba first. See how it goes | 11:44 |
| LobbyZ | Well | 11:44 |
| LobbyZ | How do i update my BIOS then? | 11:44 |
| LobbyZ | without a floppy | 11:44 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: i can use your xorg? | 11:44 |
| dns53 | vnix you could go the unix way and use nfs, you need to download services for unix from microsoft for them to mount it | 11:44 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, i have extras in mine that probably won't help you. try this... | 11:44 |
| wanderingii | ive tried to go to system > administration > login window and it asked me for my password and now my hard drive keeps ticking but nothings happening | 11:45 |
| Dr_willis | vnix, samba may be the hardest way to do it. :) | 11:45 |
| alraune | LObbyZ: burn a bootable cd or use usb | 11:45 |
| vnix | Oh ya how come sometimes when I log off or restart computer, my items all jumble up. | 11:45 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.01 | 11:45 |

| i2adoo | Hello all. My synaptic package manager won't start any longer. Any idea as to what may be causing this? | 11:45 |
| LobbyZ | alraune and i'll put the needed files in the cd and boot from it? | 11:45 |
| wanderingii | and as i say that it eventually opens | 11:46 |
| Slart | Dr_willis: what are you running? dapper or something? hardy just has this neat "share folder" thingy.. =) | 11:46 |
| i2adoo | And it says A problem occured when checking for updates | 11:46 |
| dummy566f | what error? | 11:46 |
| alraune | LObbyZ: yup, but with a cd you cannot save your old bios | 11:46 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: now i have a new xorg correct? | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | Slart, and some times it EVEN works! | 11:47 |
| LobbyZ | alraune, oh | 11:47 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, if you didn't get any errors, you should have a new xorg.conf now. Yes. | 11:47 |
| dummy566f | i2adoo, what problem occurred? does it say? | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | Slart, but sadly ive often seen it not work very well. | 11:47 |
| alraune | LObbyZ: google boot cd to get a image and then add the flash program and the new bios to it | 11:47 |
| Sofisti1 | no errors just warnongs that no xorg.conf is present | 11:47 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, now run nvidia-settings | 11:48 |
| LobbyZ | Yea the flash program is a .exe | 11:48 |
| Slart | Dr_willis: ah.. but the button looks so shiny... how can it not work when it's sooo shiny =) | 11:48 |
| i2adoo | dummy566f how do I see? it only says a problem occured | 11:48 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, gksudo nvidia-settings | 11:48 |
| vnix | How bout retrieve files from Windows using LAN? | 11:48 |
| alraune | LObbyZ: what oss(es) are you running ? | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | Slart, Yep.. I normally set up ssh and winscp for just a few transfers. :) since ssh and winscp are so handy | 11:48 |
| dummy566f | i2adoo, run apt-get update in terminal | 11:48 |
| LobbyZ | Ubuntu (the latest) and i'm trying to install Windows on a other HDD | 11:48 |

| frybye | hi - with ubuntu8.04 and a eeePc 4G on inserting new 4GB sd card it says unable to mount .. what to do? | 11:49 |
| frybye | ps I am a relative newbie... | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | vnix, i normally install the ssh sever on the linux box, and winscp (and putty) on the windows box. that way i can just winscp from windows to the linux box and transfer files with a gui as needed. | 11:49 |
| i2adoo | dummy566f this seemms to work fine except for some service temporarily unavailable errors | 11:49 |
| Sofisti1 | hiptobecubic: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 11:50 |
| vnix | so using SSH | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | vnix, this may be a bit slow for HUGE files (several gb) but for just some quicky file transfers it works well. | 11:50 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, pastebin your new xorg.conf | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | !ssh | 11:50 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 11:50 |

| LobbyZ | alraune, oh ok | 11:51 |
| Slart | frybye: if it's a brand new card you might have to format it | 11:51 |
| dummy566f | i2adoo, maybe try later if really temporarily unavailable? | 11:51 |
| hiptobecubic | Sofisti1, oh sorry, restart your X server and then try it again. I think it has to load the new one. | 11:51 |
| vnix | I am sorry Dr_Willis I don get u. It's my second day using Ubuntu | 11:52 |

| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 12:06 |

| Igramul | The best way to update to the current version of Eclipse seems to be: 1. "remove" with synaptic 2. reinstall the tar.gz-Package from eclipse.org into /opt/eclipse. Is that correct? | 12:10 |
| jrib | fole: and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/PatchingSources | 12:10 |
| Slart | php6th: the easiest way is probably to open the "Add/Remove programs" dialog in the applications menu and look through the graphics list there.. there are lots of software.. hope you find something you can work with | 12:10 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 12:21 |
| php6th | gimp = like notepad, compared to Microsoft Word or openoffice, it sucks hard | 12:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 12:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | php6th: you're trolling now. | 12:21 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: from the perspective of someone who's only ever used gimp, photoshop has a fairly step learning curve.. I can't do shit with it. | 12:21 |
| Moduliz0r | php6th: then don't use it... | 12:21 |
| Moduliz0r | php6th: stop moaning about what you aren't paying for | 12:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: lol, i never thought of it that way... you're right though.. i'ev only used Gimp also(windows and linux), so I'm probably in the same boat as you. | 12:22 |
| Slart | php6th: why are you whining about it here.. go to ##windows.. they might even agree | 12:22 |
| php6th | i would pay 1000 euros for GIMP, the day they copy all the MARVELOUS functionality of ADOBE | 12:22 |
| Moduliz0r | php6th: blatently copying is Microsoft's job | 12:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 12:22 |
| zcat[1] | can someone just ban the troll alreay | 12:22 |
| zcat[1] | photoshop is shit. people only think it's good because it's what they wasted years of their life learning and not they realise how screwed they were | 12:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: would could easily say the same about Windows users | 12:23 |
| zcat[1] | It's totally unusable | 12:23 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter:there is no router,plz explain a bit more abt ufw | 12:23 |
| Slart | can we please keep the rants in #ubuntu-ot or something? | 12:24 |

| Mitesh | sushma: your distro version? | 12:45 |
| the_mynameistux | Sorlag: the login screen | 12:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: have you got windows if so you can get the information from there by following the instructions in www.portforward.com if not it will take a little bit loinger | 12:45 |
| Sorlag | no.. it boots directly into BusyBox | 12:45 |
| Slart | Sorlag: any error messages? | 12:45 |
| Sorlag | Slart, no.. splashscreen and then BusyBox | 12:46 |
| kajtek | #ubuntu-pl | 12:46 |
| Slart | Sorlag: can you check the logs in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg | 12:46 |
| geirha | Sorlag: What's the version of the kernel you are booting? Do you get the same result if you boot a different kernel? | 12:46 |
| Sorlag | i didnt even make a update or something.. there are important emails etc. | 12:46 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter: yes i do hav windows, what i hav to do? | 12:46 |
| frybye | hi - when using partimage there seems to be no place to tell it where to put the image ..just the directory and name but not on which drive? | 12:47 |
| Slart | Sorlag: unless your hard drive has crashed your mail should be safe.. and files for that matter | 12:47 |
| Sorlag | geirha how do i boot a different kernel? | 12:47 |
| the_mynameistux | How do I change to landscape formatting in abiword? | 12:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: ahhh there goes my work ok you got my attention, dont boot into windows type ifconfig in terminal | 12:47 |
| geirha | Sorlag: At the grub menu. You have to hit Esc to have the menu shown. | 12:47 |
| the_mynameistux | never mind, found it | 12:47 |
| geirha | You might have to hit Esc I mean | 12:47 |
| eraldo | I bought the Canon MP210 printer but the linux drivers are i386 but my machine is 64bit... what shall I do now ? | 12:48 |
| Sorlag | geirha okay.. ill try this.. ill be back if it wont work.. thanks for now! | 12:48 |
| sofistio | hiptobecubic: system tell me driver is for 386 architecture and not 64 | 12:48 |
| alraune | eraldo:install anyway | 12:48 |
| eraldo | alraune: how would I do that ? | 12:48 |
| hiptobecubic | sofistio oh! of course! let me find the 64 bit version | 12:49 |
| alraune | eraldo:32 bit works with 64 bit systems | 12:49 |
| eraldo | alraune: it gives me an error when opening them | 12:49 |
| frybye | further to partimage - whats the story if partimage seems to have just stopped durin action - shows 305mb copied of 2.89gb but goes not further... whats that about? | 12:49 |
| yoyoned | eraldo: ubuntu proboly comes with the right drivers. | 12:49 |
| eraldo | alraune: the install button is greyed out | 12:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: once you do that terminal will have lots of information, grab a pen and write only the info you need on paper: subnet mask "usually 255.255..255.0", your current inet addr, your default gateway and you can find you dns servers from your router | 12:50 |
| tim__ | how can i uninstall ubuntu completely, so that windows is booting automaticly, because i'm only using ubuntu with wubi in windows | 12:50 |
| frybye | who has used partimage??? | 12:50 |
| alraune | !hw | eraldo:than maybe some other packages are missing, but look up the printer | 12:50 |
| eraldo | yoyoned: when I plugged it in... I could only chose "find driver" and all it set was the generic text only one | 12:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: once you done that tell me | 12:50 |
| hiptobecubic | http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/173.14.05/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05-pkg2.run sofistio | 12:50 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter:okk | 12:51 |
| sofistio | hiptobecubic: now i use features of Ubuntu "try to fix Xproblems"; i need to move xorg.conf, meke newone and retry to install driver? | 12:51 |
| sushma | i dont hav router Pirate_Hunter | 12:51 |
| eraldo | yoyoned: seems like it does not supply the right one | 12:51 |
| Werdna | hello | 12:52 |
| hiptobecubic | sofistio, move xorg.conf, install driver | 12:52 |
| hiptobecubic | sofistio, the driver install will make you a new xorg.conf if you tell it to | 12:52 |
| Sorlag | geirha im back.. in ubuntu.. it just bootet normal this time.. is there any boot log to have a look for? | 12:52 |
| sofistio | perfect hiptobecubic | 12:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: well thats doing to be a biggy, you can always call your isp to find out your dns servers I think thats the only other way, you'll need them "if they ask why do you wanna know just say you want to setup your linux box" | 12:52 |
| geirha | Sorlag: It suddenly worked? | 12:53 |
| Werdna | I'm having trouble getting my nForce2 soundcard working. The big issue is that the sound is really really quiet (i.e. I can't actually distinguish it, I can just kind of vaguely hear the beats and so on.) Connecting my iPhone to the same speakers works as expected, and my volume is turned up and so on. | 12:53 |
| alraune | sorlag : /var/log filenames speak for theirselves ,.... | 12:53 |
| Carroarmato0 | I'm trying to setup a smart card reader in order to login with a smart card instead of a password. The smart card reader is setup and working, but I can't make Pam talk to it. I need some assistence. | 12:53 |
| geirha | Sorlag: You were stopped way to early in the boot process for any logs to have been written to disk I think | 12:53 |
| love | hello, sailing | 12:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: how do you connect to the internet? | 12:53 |
| Sorlag | geirha...hm.. yeah, it suddenly worked.. but i dont want to have this happen again! | 12:54 |
| eraldo | alraune: I have no idea what to do now :( | 12:54 |
| eraldo | alraune: I did not find any solution on google | 12:54 |
| ynotest | is there a program to access itunes podcasts/links/videos? | 12:54 |
| alraune | eraldo:mom | 12:54 |
| hiptobecubic | sofistio, i have to sign off. if it doesn't work, just restore your original xorg and keep looking around. Good luck! | 12:54 |
| zcat[1] | eraldo: return printer for refund, get one that is properly supported... | 12:54 |
| geirha | Sorlag: It usually happens if the kernel is unable to find the harddrive for / ... might be one of the cables are loose or something ... | 12:55 |
| Sorlag | oh and btw.. where do i configure the delay time for "enter menu" on booting the system.. i changed it to 1sec the other day and just noticed that i couldn get into the menu cause 1sec is to less!! | 12:55 |
| zcat[1] | Sorlag: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:56 |
| geirha | Sorlag: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:56 |
| Sorlag | thank you | 12:56 |
| solexious | [q] I have an ati graphics card in my laptop. Video playback isnt great and games, like frets on fire and second life flicker quite a bit Is there any way to improve it? | 12:56 |
| zcat[1] | solexious: depends on the card... if 'restricted drivers' are available that sould help. Mine is an ati and simply doesn't have 3d support. | 12:57 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter: i hav got all the info what u asked.. now what to do? | 12:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: you got the dns servers as well? | 12:58 |
| solexious | zcat[1] a, i have the restriced drivers on, guess it as good as its going to get, thank you | 12:58 |
| zcat[1] | solexious: hmmm.. that's a bummer... | 12:59 |
| Sorlag | man i just hope this is not going to happen again.. thanks for your help! btw the splashscreen has had a little flaw.. and now as it bootet normal it hasnd had this flaw! | 12:59 |
| sushma | ss Pirate_Hunter | 12:59 |
| alraune | eraldo: what was the exact model again ? | 12:59 |
| zcat[1] | solexious: turning off compiz might also help? | 12:59 |
| woooosh | I have some mp3s that contains speech. What is the best way I can feed this mp3 into a speech-to-text program (eg: dragon natural, via voice.. etc) ? | 13:00 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter: yes | 13:00 |
| solexious | zcat[1], compiz? | 13:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: ok if you certain of that than click on the network icon on your desktop "hopefully you havent taken out the top taskbar, choose manual config "were not going to mess with terminal" | 13:00 |
| geirha | Sorlag: What kind of flaw? | 13:00 |
| zcat[1] | advanced desktop effects | 13:00 |
| solexious | zcat[1], where can i find that? | 13:00 |
| zcat[1] | system > preferences > appearance > visual effects | 13:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: click unlock and type your pass "hopefully your root", than choose wired connection>properties | 13:01 |
| tim__ | how to uninstall ubuntu? | 13:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: when the wired conenctions widows pops up uncheck roaming, in configuration change it to static Ip address, put your info except ip address and leave it as that dont click ok | 13:03 |
| IdleOne | tim__, re-install windows or whatever OS you want | 13:03 |
| geirha | tim__: Installed in windows (wubi) or on a seperate partition? | 13:03 |
| alraune | eraldo : ? | 13:03 |
| Sorlag | geirha a fraction of the bar was to be seen on the right hand side | 13:03 |
| tim__ | geirha, seperated and wubi, so i want do uninstall the seperate one | 13:03 |
| eraldo | alraune: canon Pixma mp 210 | 13:03 |
| NeverBeClever | I tried to mount iso files from a network pc, does anyone know how to do this? | 13:03 |
| alraune | eraldo : http://www.update-your-drivers.com/?gclid=CJDE-peokpUCFQSSugodkDUZfA | 13:04 |
| alraune | eraldo : try to dld that and open in wine, should find the right driver | 13:04 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter: ok then?? | 13:04 |
| geirha | tim__: Then just use windows' partitioning tool, remove the partition and create a new one. | 13:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | on this link http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm right at the bottom where it says pick an ip address read it and follow on based upon your current ip address, if the net doesnt function afterwards change the last number but it will most likely be because you got wrong dns servers | 13:05 |
| alraune | eraldo : what type of file is the driver coming with the canon ? tar.gz ? | 13:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: on this link http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm right at the bottom where it says pick an ip address read it and follow on based upon your current ip address, if the net doesnt function afterwards change the last number but it will most likely be because you got wrong dns servers | 13:05 |
| * Pirate_Hunter sorry for that double post | 13:05 | |
| fole | I downloaded source, changed code have the diff in debian/patches. how can I test if the patch works with the building system? | 13:05 |
| eraldo | alraune: on the canon hp I got .deb packages that are i386 arch | 13:06 |
| alraune | eraldo : no souce ? | 13:06 |
| Niohoggr | hi again | 13:06 |
| geirha | Sorlag: hm, I have no idea why that could happen :/ | 13:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: once your sure the info is correct "please verify" click ok, if you got more than two dns servers you can add them in the dns tab if not just save your new settings | 13:07 |
| Sorlag | geirha how do i disable the splash? | 13:07 |
| arogarth | hello | 13:08 |
| arogarth | have a small question | 13:08 |
| arogarth | i have a pc installed ubuntu server (only console) | 13:08 |
| arogarth | how can i get poweroff by pressing powerbutton (soft shutdown) | 13:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: once your done tell me where going to change resolv.conf just incase | 13:09 |
| eraldo | alraune: no.. did not find any | 13:09 |
| yoyoned | NeverBeClever: what are you trying to do? | 13:09 |
| geirha | Sorlag: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst again. Find the line "# defoptions=quiet splash", remove the word splash, save and then run "sudo update-grub" | 13:09 |
| favro | arogarth: you can type in sudo shutdown -h now | 13:10 |
| dutu | hello | 13:10 |
| arogarth | i know | 13:10 |
| arogarth | but it must be go by press hsutdown | 13:10 |
| alraune | eraldo:what the exact message you get when right-klicking the deb file, open with gdbi- installer ? | 13:10 |
| dutu | can someone help me with a ralink wlan adapter | 13:10 |
| Sorlag | geirha thx | 13:11 |
| eraldo | alraune: "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)" | 13:11 |
| eraldo | alraune: gdbi ? | 13:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | eraldo: well, download the 64bit version. | 13:12 |
| eraldo | IndyGunFreak: I did not find any 64bit version | 13:12 |
| dutu | hello i freshly installed ubuntu and it doesent recognise my raink wlan adapter build in the notebook can someone help me to fixx that? | 13:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | eraldo: then you'll need to compile it from source most likely.. | 13:12 |
| alraune | eraldo:just the paketinstaller (gd..) | 13:13 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: binary-only, 32bit 'trying to be helpful but not really getting this OSS thing' printer driver package | 13:13 |
| eraldo | IndyGunFreak: did not find that ether | 13:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | eraldo: ok.. | 13:13 |
| arogarth | no way to get it?? | 13:14 |
| zcat[1] | double-ironic.. it was binary-only printer drivers that drove RMS to start the whole Free Software Movement in the first place.. | 13:15 |
| danbhfive | whats the location of the trash folder? | 13:16 |
| yoyoned | !Trash | 13:16 |
| ubottu | 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 | 13:16 |
| danbhfive | thx | 13:16 |
| zcat[1] | bah! ln -s ~/.local/share/Trash ~/.Trash :-P | 13:17 |
| eraldo | alraune: I found a source package on another site | 13:17 |
| eraldo | alraune: but I don't know how to use it... could you guide me a little :) | 13:18 |
| alraune | !compile |eraldo | 13:18 |
| ubottu | eraldo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:18 |
| alraune | eraldo : open a terminal ... | 13:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | good luck w/ that..lol | 13:18 |
| woooosh | anyone recommend a speech to text app? | 13:18 |
| raz | woah. i'm deeply impressed. i installed current ubuntu onto my (quite bitchy) sony vaio tx5mn laptop and *everything* works straight out the box. wlan, bluetooth, even suspend-to-ram! great job on the hardware-front, this is the first time that suspend-to-ram works reliably on this machine (much less out-of-the-box). | 13:19 |
| eraldo | alraune: I am in the right directory... | 13:19 |
| eraldo | alraune: .oO( in the terminal ) | 13:19 |
| erUSUL | !yay | raz | 13:19 |
| ubottu | raz: Glad you made it! :-) | 13:19 |
| zcat[1] | isn't there some moderately automated process to get from 'source package' to 'installable binary package' if both are properly set up debs? | 13:19 |
| eraldo | alraune: may I pm you ? | 13:19 |
| raz | ubottu, i'm very happy right now. i set away the weekend to "get things back running". now i'm almost a bit depressed... nothing left to do! ;) | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:19 |
| alraune | eraldo : pm me | 13:20 |
| zcat[1] | sorry; if the source package is a properly set up src-deb | 13:20 |
| zcat[1] | woooosh: festival | 13:21 |
| zcat[1] | Oh, sorry. speech to text.. no | 13:21 |
| wanderingii | i have a printer which is attached to a network storage device which i have running on my home network to enable all laptops to use the printer. i have the url for it http://myserver:483/printers/deskjet900c how do i add this to ubuntu so i can print from there? | 13:21 |

| lakeman | guys: how to remove drives from "Places" in menu, they're not in fstab it seems that they are automatically discovered | 13:23 |
| zcat[1] | yoyoned: or 9100 or something?? I'd have to check | 13:23 |

| tuxice | Hello, it is at System --> Administration -->System Monitor | 13:25 |

| varunn3 | thanks | 13:26 |
| tuxice | no problem | 13:26 |
| Sofisti1 | IndyGunFreak: i tried to install driver of hiptobecubic and it is better but i don't resolve problem, have you any idea? | 13:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: i don't even remember your problem | 13:26 |
| debCarlos | lol | 13:27 |
| zcat[1] | soemwhere I saw a way to bind system monitor to ctrl-alt-del just like 'doze .. hafta do that sometime | 13:27 |
| Sofisti1 | I'm sorry IndyGunFreak i have problems with hp pavillon dv 6000 and driver nvidia | 13:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: well, i don't know why you'd be having problems w/ it.. are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 13:28 |
| varunn3 | firefox is a resource hog :| | 13:28 |
| debCarlos | varunn3: I think FF3 solved that :) | 13:28 |
| wanderingii | ok so what do i put in the host section | 13:28 |
| Initial_M | any idea guys for me to see all my hardware, just like device manager on windows? | 13:28 |
| wanderingii | and do i put anything in the Queue? | 13:28 |
| Sofisti1 | 64 and i used NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2 and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05-pkg2 with no good result | 13:29 |
| Sofisti1 | change xorg and so on | 13:29 |
| maho | I am having problems with the Startup-Manager app if someone has time to help me with it | 13:30 |
| debCarlos | Sofisti1: Wouldn't it be easier if you install the driver with restricted driver manager instead of doing it manually ? | 13:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: my experience w/ 64bit is less than positive... so no, i cant help you w/ that.. one reason i stick w/ 32bit for now, is for driver compatibility(but the nvidia driver should work fine) | 13:30 |
| tuxice | a thread on ubuntuforums.org says that running these commands will make ctrl-alt-del pull up the gnome sys monitor | 13:30 |

| Leefmc | Is there a button or anything in ubuntu to trigger a tooltip? | 13:31 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: I run 64bit with nvidia drivers via driver manager, was no trouble at all to set up... | 13:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: and i said, nvidia drivers fo 64bit, should be fine | 13:31 |
| maho | fair enough. when I try to add a new usplash in startup-manager, it just closes. no error, no prompt to point to the new usplash I want to import. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it doesnt change | 13:32 |
| junglecrazd1 | good evening everyone. | 13:32 |
| ne0buntu | hi everybody, im installed ubuntu on my new laptop. The wireless didnt work at first but i found a way to make it work. The problem is that now it detects the wifi networks but cant connect to them. I tried to set up my wifi with and without a WEP key and it doesn't work either way. Also, i had to do some stuff in the terminal so that it could detect the wifis.... the problem is that i have to do this everytime i reboot. is there a wa | 13:32 |
| junglecrazd1 | what is the best nintendo 64 emulator for ubuntu? | 13:32 |
| Ghost-r | WOW! | 13:32 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: however, I have found that the nvidia binary installer leaves a mess of incompatable .so's behind, causing the ubuntu packaged drivers to no longer work. Cleaning up after a botched driver isntall is a nightmare. | 13:32 |
| === amk is now known as amk` | ||
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: so I basically refuse to even try if I hear someone has already tried to do it 'the hard and stupid way' | 13:33 |
| debCarlos | maho: Already tried with sudo aptitude remove --purge package && sudo aptitude install package ? | 13:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: yeah,. like i said,, my understanding is, the 64bit nvidia driver should be fine.. its jst other issues i've had.. so i stick w/ 32bit.. the 64bit doesn't peform THAT much better... its barely noticeable an w/ 32bit, everything just works. | 13:33 |
| Sofisti1 | i can use restricted but i didn't find in system-administration-driver | 13:33 |
| tavi_ | hey what happens if i select all the programs from synaptic and install all? | 13:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: same here, thus the reason i'm not helping him...lol | 13:34 |
| Sofisti1 | IndyGunFreak: i can use restricted but i didn't find in system-administration-driver | 13:34 |
| Agion | someone help! My sounds aren't working, it stops working randomly when I boot.. | 13:34 |
| tavi_ | install all at once | 13:34 |
| maho | not yet. I used the add/remove function to install it to begin with instead of apt, I will give it a try now | 13:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Agion: its probably a pulse audio issue... | 13:34 |
| Agion | IndyGunFreak: any tips how can I fix that? | 13:35 |
| debCarlos | tavi_: Why do you want to do that ? | 13:35 |

| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: its not that i'm busy, its just that you've made a mess of this, and its gonna be difficult to get working, why not just do a clean isntall of 32bit? | 13:37 |

| 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. | 13:44 |

| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: it should have.. i've got a 7300, and its fine... but 1, i use 32bit, and 2, God knows what he's done trying to "fix" this problem up to this point | 13:45 |
| Sofisti1 | IndyGunFreak: ehehe it's right | 13:45 |
| Sofisti1 | i'm doing everithing | 13:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sofisti1: the problem is, you're obviously doing everything wrong, so going back and fixing the mess, is difficult. | 13:46 |
| zcat[1] | Sofisti1: yes, that ought to work.. if it fails it's likely because the nvidia binary installer has messed other things up and could be hard to fix. | 13:46 |

| zcat[1] | Sofisti1: ignore IndyGunFreak though.. there's nothing wrong with running 64bit hardy.. but using nvidia's binary installer is messy and should be a very last resort if nothing else works at all | 13:47 |
| maho | debCarlos: Nothing in there, eh? | 13:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: i didn't say there was anything wrong w/ 64bit Hardy, i just said i had issues w/ it and chose not to use it, i fyou like it, fine... my pc works perfectly though | 13:48 |

| ActionParsnip | sweet movebro, what do you need to run every minute? | 14:12 |
| unop | !sudo | q0s | 14:12 |
| ubottu | q0s: 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) | 14:12 |
| mudit | sushma are you from india ? | 14:12 |
| lopss | Zeropage: what u mean 3D desktop? | 14:12 |
| Ghost-r | sushma, 220BX modem ? | 14:12 |
| unop | !ot | mudit | 14:12 |
| ubottu | mudit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:12 |
| q0s | unop, i am already reading the man page. did you understand my problem? | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeropage: you need compiz-fusion | 14:13 |
| unop | q0s, did you read the sudo manpage properly? | 14:13 |
| sushma | Ghost-r: no modem, only cable to my home | 14:13 |
| hyperstream | how do i install drivers for a new nvidia gtx260 | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | q0s: to run commands as root you need the root pass or your own pass to run commands as sudo (assuming you are a member of the sudo group) | 14:13 |
| maho | debCarlos: ahh, I did read that one. I cant find any other material about it. It launches fine, it just crashes when I try to install anything....the Add button = the crash button | 14:13 |
| shah | q0s: type sudo passwd | 14:13 |
| mudit | i use airtel and I dont use a dialup, the settings are just configured in my router | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !nvidia | hyperstream | 14:13 |
| ubottu | hyperstream: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 14:13 |
| unop | shah, please don't suggest that | 14:14 |
| Ghost-r | sushma, what kind of cable ? | 14:14 |
| zcat[1] | hyperstream: system > administration > Hardware drivers | 14:14 |
| maho | debCarlos: I might just have to ride it out then | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !envy | hyperstream | 14:14 |
| ubottu | hyperstream: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 14:14 |
| hyperstream | ActionParsnip, gtx260 isnt supported? | 14:14 |
| dorothy | hi all conky won't start up on boot even after adding it to the start up items | 14:14 |
| shah | unop, y? | 14:14 |
| unop | !supportroot | shah | 14:14 |
| ubottu | shah: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 14:14 |
| q0s | ActionParsnip, shah, unop: none of you understand my problem -.- | 14:14 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter: my net connection hav no other device xcept cable | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperstream: no idea sorry | 14:14 |
| hyperstream | guys gtx260 isnt in the nvidia supported list ?? | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | q0s: wassup, ok do you have your own password? | 14:14 |
| mudit | sushma: try http://192.168.1.1/ in a browser | 14:15 |
| unop | q0s, -S The -S (stdin) option causes sudo to read the password from the standard input instead of the terminal device. # straight from the sudo manpage | 14:15 |
| debCarlos | maho: yeah... i was just going to say say same --purge thing :( | 14:15 |
| debCarlos | *say the | 14:15 |
| * Pirate_Hunter can someone explain to me how does cable connect in america, does it use a mdoe, router, modem-router or some kind of telephone box etc "please i really dont know"? | 14:15 | |
| q0s | ActionParsnip, unop. i have all necessary passwords. i want to pass it via a flag ... something like -pw <password> | 14:15 |
| Mrgreen2 | Hi, I'm having a weird problem. I've been using ubuntu for ~6mo now with no probs however recently whenever I play a .wmv video the colours become messed up. All video formats will then exhibit the same after, but only wmv video triggers it. A reboot will again allow normal use of non-wmv video. Any ideas? Thanks | 14:15 |
| mudit | ubottu: you are not that dumb | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:16 |
| unop | q0s, jeez. see the -S flag to sudo .. as per my last comment to you | 14:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: give me a sec getting some site for you, from now on you'll have to read them and choose the procedure that is easier for you | 14:16 |
| Ghost-r | Pirate_Hunter, it should use a settop box, I suppose, if it were just cable | 14:16 |
| unop | mudit, ubottu is a bot .. he has no concept of intelligence | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperstream: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839730. I think its a bit too new right now | 14:16 |
| hyperstream | lol its been out for weeks and there is no info. guess ill have to manually install it | 14:16 |
| q0s | unop, ok. standart input. i am not the bash king... whats about echo "pw" | sudo -S mycmd? | 14:16 |
| maho | debCarlos: oh well. Ill see if there are any fixes later down the line...thanks for your assistance anyway :-D | 14:17 |
| zcat[1] | unop: although he might be smarter than some humans I've seen in here today.. | 14:17 |
| unop | q0s, brilliant, that's it | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | q0s: you could run a terminal with gksu then all would be passwordless, I dont know any other way | 14:17 |
| sushma | Pirate_hunter:okk | 14:17 |
| debCarlos | maho: ok | 14:18 |
| q0s | unop would that work? ssh user@server echo 'pw' | sudo -S shutdown -r now | 14:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Ghost-r: a settop-box? is it anyway similar to a router or modem router, in other words can you log into it through the default gateway otherwise he/she will be messing with a)ip-tables b)ufw | 14:18 |
| unop | q0s, I shouldn't think so .. you need to quote the command passed to ssh properly ... otherwise sudo -S shutdown -r now is run on the local machine | 14:18 |
| sushma | Ghost-r:the cable generally used to connect in LAN is provided by my internet provider | 14:19 |
| duck1123_ | is it possible to make it so a normal Gnome window docks along the bottom? | 14:19 |
| zcat[1] | q0s: rather than echoing passwords it might be safer to edit /etc/sudoers and allow that user access to shutdown without needing a password | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | q0s: you could have a login that as soon as it logs in it reboots the pc | 14:19 |
| varunn3 | how do i get ubuntu to hurt my eyes less lol, way worse than windows :S! | 14:19 |

| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: since i dont know how cable over there works this is what i got for you; you can try and directly open ports through ip-tables "i wouldnt advise it to do it like other unless your comfortable with it"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo" or use ufw which is the internal ubuntu firewall - by default it is disabled https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ufw-uncomplicated-firewall-for-ubuntu- | 14:21 |
| unop | q0s, not like that, no | 14:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hardy.html, http://arichuang.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/ubuntu-804-ufw/ well read those and see which method is easier or you could wait around for someone who can help you better | 14:21 |
| debCarlos | t4m1n0_: It's on one of those .idon'tknowwhat folders on your home | 14:21 |
| q0s | unop, any other solution? | 14:21 |
| zcat[1] | well, perhaps only 1240x1024 .. but not 1024x768 | 14:22 |

| Bangers | hi I just started using Ubuntu | 14:23 |
| varunn3 | how do i change my start menu? like what category on that gnome look site | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Phantomas: there are games in the repos, there isnt one for urbanterror | 14:23 |
| Bangers | Why do fonts suck soo much? I think I did the msstfont package, but even things like youtube still look really bad | 14:23 |
| mudit | ur ports are blocked from the Router @ sushma , i had the same problem with airtel until I took control of my router | 14:23 |
| Bangers | what am I doing wrong? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bangers: welcome to the other side | 14:23 |
| zcat[1] | Phantomas: tux racer not good enough for you huh? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bangers: in what way? | 14:23 |
| alraune | varunn3: ever tried this at the monitor ? | 14:23 |
| dz__ | Bangers: Go to Appearance -> Fonts and change to | 14:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: maybe we have made a satic ip that should help now it could be a problem with your clients, your isp blocking p2p "but that only happens in anti-p2p countries :/", your ports are close "most client have a function to test if the port you've chosen is open or closed try that" | 14:24 |
| dz__ | DejaVi Sans Book | 14:24 |
| Phantomas | zcat[1]: no it isnt... | 14:24 |
| dz__ | DejaVu* | 14:24 |
| sushma | mudit:how did u took the control of ur router can u tell me?? | 14:24 |
| dz__ | Window title font should be DejaVu Sans Bold | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sushma: try a torrent client with encryption ;) | 14:24 |
| varunn3 | alraune, yeah i did it at the monitor | 14:24 |
| dz__ | and Fixed-width font should stay at monospace | 14:24 |
| varunn3 | feels a bit better | 14:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: you do realise i have taken my time to help you with a non-ubuntu related question, right? | 14:24 |
| alraune | varunn3: so ? | 14:25 |
| Bangers | dz__: where do i change that? | 14:25 |
| varunn3 | ? | 14:25 |
| zcat[1] | Phantomas: most of the good games aren't packaged. alien arena or open arean aren't too bad. | 14:25 |
| mudit | i stopped calling the airtel guy, and playing with my router settings | 14:25 |
| dz__ | Go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts tab | 14:25 |
| sushma | Pirate_Hunter:im facing the prob in ubuntu itself man | 14:25 |

| xintron | I want to add the following to a line using a bash script, "uptime: " and the output of uptime after that. Using "echo 'uptime: ' uptime > file" but that just echoes uptime to the file isntead of the command echo, how do I solve this? | 14:25 |
| zcat[1] | Phantomas: urban terror is pretty goot but a bit tricky to intall since it's not packaged | 14:25 |
| Bangers | Where do I chose Dejavu though? | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_567 | can anyone please help me oiut | 14:25 |

| ActionParsnip | !ask | ubuntu_567 | 14:26 |
| alraune | varunn3: if you can change brightness at moni, whats your problem then ? | 14:26 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_567: 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. :-) | 14:26 |
| debCarlos | t4m1n0_: Discovered it!! | 14:26 |
| fyrestrtr | xintron: `uptime` | 14:26 |
| q0s | unop, man page says nothing about "event not found" | 14:26 |
| zcat[1] | xintron: echo "uptime: `uptime`" >> file | 14:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sushma: torrent clients dont affect ubuntu itself even if it for ubuntu its not ubuntu related but heck i went ahead and tried to help you | 14:26 |
| xintron | thanks :) | 14:26 |
| debCarlos | t4m1n0_: They are under ~/.purple/logs/ | 14:26 |
| dz__ | @Bangers: then choose DejaVu Sans for each one EXCEPT Window title font (DejaVu Bold) and Fixed-width font (monospace) | 14:26 |
| unop | q0s, that's the bash history thing. set +H and try again | 14:26 |
| Bangers | dz__: Oh ok, ok 1 sec let me try | 14:27 |

| unop | bouma, that sounds right. I suppose if it doesn't turn out right, you'll have to troubleshoot the problems you have then on their merits .. tho i don't see why it should fail. | 14:47 |

| unop | bouma, well, you could backup the MBR .. but i don't see it being of much help if this restore fails, unless you have a backup of the current state of /dev/sda to work with | 14:49 |

| unop | alex^, where did you get the .deb file from .. maybe there are instructions to installing it properly .. or even a list of prerequisites | 14:51 |
| m3F | i have an Audigy SE with 7.1 channels, i dunno why it is so difficult for me to get surround in Ubuntu, but here in Mandriva PulseAudio with ALSa seems to be fully integrated. | 14:51 |
| fyrestrtr | greedo: system > administration > system monitor and click on Resources tab | 14:51 |
| m3F | all i have to do is set the number of output channels in the daemon.conf and done. I would want to know why... I prefer k/ubuntu than Mandriva, basicly because of Ubuntu has lots of information and repositories are very fast, and for lots of reasons, but i cannot live without music, and i bought this sound card to use it with surround of course. | 14:51 |
| debCarlos | alex^: Sometimes ubuntu acts in a mysterious way :) | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | m3F | 14:52 |

| jussi01 | !tab | ksadkdsakidfsikd | 14:53 |
| ubottu | ksadkdsakidfsikd: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 14:53 |
| fyrestrtr | greedo: then both are running | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | m3F: just a side note, mandriva is rpm based, *buntu is debian based, different kettle of fish | 14:53 |

| ActionParsnip | askand: dfault is ext3 but you can use many others | 14:55 |
| unop | alex^, well, as you can see, you require this ElementTree module .. and the sites to download this module from seem to be dead/non-responsive | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | m3F: im just saying it wont be the same as your mandriva system as its a different kettle of fish. I'll have a look to see what I can find. | 14:55 |

| burhan | askand: the only difference between regular ubuntu and ubuntu studio is the applications. You don't need to install two different operating system.s | 14:59 |
| unop | debCarlos, but ext2 has no journal, and an fsck will complete faster because of that fact. | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | askand: why dual boot, its the same OS with some different apps installed | 14:59 |
| askand | burhan: its a rt kernel too | 14:59 |

| m3F | ActionParsnip: i will take a look of that right now, but, i tell you, i spended months trying to configure surround in ubuntu, that is really painful | 15:00 |
| askand | burhan: but then I still need to reboot to get into the rt kernel | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | m3F: then maybe mandriva is for you | 15:00 |
| burhan | askand: so? | 15:00 |
| unop | debCarlos, i shouldn't think so .. though i will say, recovery (by the virtue of journal playback) is reliable on ext3 | 15:01 |

| ActionParsnip | jburd: fluxbox has an awesome theme manager :D | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC|Away: does it show any ark apps running? | 15:09 |

| WDC|Away | ActionParsnip: Restart Ark? | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | SilverStreak: i got -21. sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:12 |

| ActionParsnip | WDC|Away: it just kills the process. try closing ark and running the command again | 15:13 |
| SilverStreak | ActionParsnip: nothing was installed | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | trigpin: you need to put alias blahblah='echo "blahblah"' | 15:14 |

| RANDOM_8954 | ActionParsnip, does that do ubuntu upgrade if you dont got latest version??? | 15:14 |
| saloxin | trigpin: no need to reboot, just source ~/.bashrc | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | RANDOM_8954: the first one updates what you have dist-upgrade updates stuff like kernels | 15:15 |

| r3c0n | a newbie bash question here. I have a long command for a launcher pointing to an environment variable and running wine.. I am trying to have that same shortcut used when a specific file is clicked in firefox. Since the beginning of the file is env, should i just create an alias? Will an alias in bash be interpreted by firefox? I assume not | 15:16 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: Yep! Thanks again | 15:16 |
| varunn3 | hey guys do u need an antivirus in linux? | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | trigpin: try running soure ~/.bashrc | 15:16 |
| RANDOM_8954 | is Frets a single player game? | 15:17 |
| WDC | varunn3: No, but you might if your paranoid | 15:17 |
| dedi | test | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | trigpin: after updating the file, mean you dont gotta reboot | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | RANDOM_8954: yeah | 15:17 |
| varunn3 | so nothing security wise is needed :) | 15:17 |
| Chousuke | varunn3: only if you want to protect windows users you interact with | 15:17 |
| SilverStreak | varunn3: the best antivirus is running as few things as root as possible | 15:17 |
| saloxin | r3c0n: if you set the env variable at login, it will be available to all programs you start later. ~/.bashrc orso | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | RANDOM_8954: plus there are lots of packs of songs out there and forums of songs too | 15:17 |
| rockyrock | hi, i want to install nvidia 8500GT driver on Ubuntu hardy but i don't know how | 15:17 |
| SilverStreak | rockyrock, have you tried using the restricted drivers manager? | 15:18 |
| Chousuke | varunn3: usually too much trouble for a standard desktop install | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | varunn3: you can install clamav if you want but its really not needed. just run as little as possible as root and you win | 15:18 |
| gizmatix | sup | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !nvidia | rockyrock | 15:18 |
| ubottu | rockyrock: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 15:18 |
| Chousuke | ActionParsnip: clamav doesn't look for Linux viruses anyway :P | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | rockyrock | 15:18 |
| ubottu | rockyrock: 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 | 15:18 |
| emil_ | How can I get this X-Chat into Multi-Server connect | 15:18 |
| gizmatix | good | 15:19 |
| rockyrock | i downloaded a driver from nvidia website | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !antivirus | varunn3 | 15:19 |
| ubottu | varunn3: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | rockyrock: see the walkthroughs from ubottu | 15:19 |
| rockyrock | but i got errors when trying to install it | 15:19 |
| trigpin | ActionParsnip, all right , how would i do it so name='echo 'helloworld' ' that right ? | 15:19 |
| marenostrum | Hello. Ubuntu 8.04 here. Is there a way to learn what my screen resolution in fact should be? I can't change it via GUI -it allows just for 50 Hz- and I will do it by editing xorg.conf. But to what figure? Trial and error??? | 15:19 |

| dlozarie | so, I'm downloading Thunderbird right now, and I wanna know how I install it after it's completed.. if you guys could give me a terminal command or point me to a blog post/article, that'd be great. :) | 15:54 |
| Gnea | cmacis: clearly, http://aiptektablet.sourceforge.net/ is still around | 15:55 |
| smee | dlozarie: why are you downloading it ? and not using apt-get install thunderbird | 15:55 |
| cmacis | aha | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dlozarie: sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird | 15:55 |
| debCarlos | dlozarie: Are you downloading a .deb or a source ? | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dlozarie: then run it from your application menu | 15:55 |
| dlozarie | smee: yeah I figured I could do that. But I thought it'd be fun to learn to "compile" it (is that the word?) from the downloaded files. Is it hard to do that? | 15:56 |
| P3L|C4N0 | greetings | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dlozarie: not massively hard | 15:56 |
| mdkaneda55 | ActionParsnip: already did that, but i'm doing it again.. "downgrading libdvdcss2 from 1.2.9-2medibuntu4 to 1.2.5-1" | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dlozarie: make sure you have build-essentials gcc g++ | 15:56 |
| debCarlos | What will happen if i compile my kernel ? Will my graphic driver stop working? Then/.... how can i re-enable it on my new kernel ? | 15:56 |
| smee | dlozarie: not if the authors provide the package names required to compile it on ubuntu hardy or your variant | 15:56 |
| Gnea | cmacis: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=aiptektablet-users looks like it's a bit dead so far this month.. maybe you can revive it | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | debCarlos: you add options in make-menuconfig | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | debCarlos: then you may need to reinstall your graphics driver for that kernel | 15:57 |
| dlozarie | seems like it would require some work. :-? can ya'll point me to a webpage with instructions or something? I guess there'd be one in the Ubuntu website/msg boards, right? | 15:57 |
| debCarlos | ActionParsnip: Ok, i thinked that.... but how i do that without screwing old drivers ? | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dlozarie: it'll be in the readme in the source files once you have extracted | 15:58 |
| mdkaneda55 | ActionParsnip: Totem still giving me this: The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss? | 15:58 |

| ikonia | dlozarie: thunderbird is pre-compiled in the ubuntu repo | 15:58 |
| dlozarie | ActionParsnip: oh cool. :) thanks :D | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | debCarlos: it depends how they are installed the drivers. Im not too p on it but i use envyng so I just uninstall and reinstall and I win :D | 15:58 |

But it would be easier than installing them in Ubuntu.... Because here you don't know what Propietary Driver manager does... but debian won't work ok in my system.... fsck... | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | juro: yeah its pretty garbage, has so few features its untrue | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | debCarlos: envyng dude :D | 16:02 |
| ikonia | kiwoa912: I'm not aware of an application called caca, although there is a library set and utils package in the ubuntu repo's called "caca-utils" | 16:02 |

| teiwaz | but if you want, I'll start from scratch | 16:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | whitedox: if you install from universe, you'll only get an update, when the wine version in updated.. could be the day of the release, could be a lot longer. | 16:55 |
| whitedox | I see | 16:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | if you use the wine repo, it usually updates fairly quickly | 16:55 |
| unop | teiwaz, things change dude .. a newer version of smbfs might have fixed a bug which in turn has side-effects on the way things used to work. | 16:55 |
| jsquared | perhaps a better question is... is it possible to have my mouse wrap from one edge of my screen to the other? | 16:56 |
| unop | teiwaz, do you get the same error on this? sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mount/point -o username=blah,password=blah | 16:56 |
| whitedox | IndyGunFreak, alright. I assume the winehq site has the repo to add? | 16:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | whitedox: yes | 16:56 |

| lopin | Hello! I appear to be having problems with firefox. It would appear that Firefox can't post data to websites. AJAX really isn't working either. I'm using a fresh install, and it only happens after I update to the latest version. | 17:02 |
| ERICH_lap | having an issue with a netgear wg511t and WPA2. /etc/network/interfaces doesnt retain the psk, wpa-driver, or wpa-proto info as WPA2, reverts to WPA whenever I reboot. I have to manually configure everytime. | 17:02 |
| Thingol | Error4o4, it should recognize the raid then, but you have to create new partitions there, I think you can't install Ubuntu on Windows (ntfs/fat) partitions. | 17:03 |
| lopin | I am incapable of submitting forms, or loading data on the fly. Facebook refuses to load anything past the home page, and I'm having difficulty submitting a job application. | 17:03 |

| Sinn3rman | ok i have a question. nautilus, in gutsy, used to show a little emblem on readonly items - they seem to have disappeared in hardy. is there a way to bring them back? just to know what files can and cannot be messed with? | 17:05 |
| Guest49298 | unop: yes but I am just looking for a sanity check on the syntax... I checked google and man, and seems right but dont get it | 17:05 |
| teiwaz | unop, oh, it makes perfect sense | 17:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | ERICH_lap: view/userlist | 17:05 |
| teiwaz | I think the problem was I kept using gedit to create the credentials file | 17:05 |
| teiwaz | I finally used nano to remove whitespace | 17:05 |

| Pokshun | Friends, I am trying to setup a dual-boot ubuntu and WinXP system.. I intend on having a common FAT32 partition for my "common" files. One thing I wanna know is... how will these files be represented in the OS? For example, Windows has a different directory structure than Ubuntu. so lets say I create file A on the "common" partition, under what kind of file heirachy will File A be diusplayed in Windows? | 17:54 |
| luis_ | the thing is that i dont have money to buy or anyone who has a usb external cd drive | 17:54 |

| P3L|C4N0 | droopsta915, yes with wine | 17:56 |
| frybye | droop - you installed wine already.. | 17:56 |
| Odd-rationale | Pokshun: becuase ubuntu will mount the vfat partition usually under /media/<diskname> | 17:56 |
| droopsta915 | fryby: yes | 17:56 |
| Pokshun | Odd: So I assume anything under /media/disk-1/ is in the "common" partition? | 17:57 |
| * Starwiz is having a graphics problem (whenever I try and enable visual effects, the screen goes white) | 17:57 | |

| Starwiz | Nope | 17:57 |
| Starwiz | Nvidida | 17:57 |
| frybye | droopsta915: when you right click the exe do you get an option to open with wine?? | 17:57 |
| Odd-rationale | Pokshun: yes. not "disk-1" nesecarily, though. depends on the disk label... | 17:57 |
| Starwiz | Slart: Nvidia. | 17:57 |
| Slart | Starwiz: oh..hmm.. installed the binary driver? | 17:57 |
| droopsta915 | i opened with windows wine program loader, it installed, but now i cant find the file? | 17:57 |
| Starwiz | SIart: I don't think so :P | 17:57 |
| kili4n | hi | 17:58 |
| Slart | Starwiz: by binary I mean the proprietary one from nvidia.. | 17:58 |
| Slart | Starwiz: ok.. what kind of card do you have? | 17:58 |
| frybye | droopsta915: is there a folder on your desktop with a name looking a bit like that of the programme or exe file? | 17:58 |
| droopsta915 | yes | 17:58 |
| Odd-rationale | Pokshun: if you wanted to, you can even set it to automatically mount to a specified mount point of your choice, using the /etc/fstab file | 17:58 |
| frybye | did you d-load it to desktop and or open it from there..? | 17:58 |
| devius | hi, i have a problem on ubuntu hardy heron with my synaptic touch pad, the funniest thing it works fine with kubuntu??? | 17:58 |
| Starwiz | Slart: I think I did, because before it wouldn't detect a card, now it does. | 17:58 |
| plouffe | there seems to be a series of empty mount points in /media . How can I delete them and make sure they're not mounted on startup? | 17:58 |

| gilda | droopsta915: if you want to call the exe from command line you do - wine somthing.exe | 17:59 |
| Scorp_ | blackbinary_: see /dev | 17:59 |
| Slart | Starwiz: hmm.. could you pastebin the file /var/log/xorg.0.log ? | 17:59 |
| songq | tritium, you eagle eye | 17:59 |
| Slart | !paste | Starwiz | 17:59 |
| ubottu | Starwiz: 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) | 17:59 |
| Pokshun | Odd: I see. so anytime I want to share a file WITH windows I should place it in the /media/disk-x/ directory, and then this data will appear in Windows under drive E. Simiarly, if I want to share anything WITH Ubuntu I should place it under Drive E in windows, and it'll appear under /media/disk-x/ in Ubuntu. Correct? | 17:59 |

| isharis | Slart: Can you tell me the complete command. I had never mount any device through terminal. | 18:41 |
| Nixk490 | can anyone help? | 18:41 |
| djGreenBuds | devius: system volume on the top bar? | 18:41 |
| Slart | sushiX: now why didn't you say so from the beginning =).. there are so many models out there.. try to find a model you think is nice and google for manufacturer+model+ubuntu.. or try it with a live cd at the store | 18:41 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| webtoe | devius: No, Linux will give you the utmost you can shove out the card. The card has only a certain amount of power from it. | 18:41 |
| Slart | isharis: it's "sudo mount <device> <mountpoint>".. mountpoint is usually a folder in /media but it doesn't have to be | 18:42 |
| webtoe | devius: with many cards you'll notice, if you put all the sliders up to the top sounds will be distorted. This is linux pushing the card a little further than it should | 18:42 |

| ubuntu_567 | how to configure that soundcard for this OS? | 18:42 |
| webtoe | Nixk490: you need to explain what you're trying to do | 18:43 |
| devius | djGreenBuds: i accesed the whole panel and increased the sound, played a specific song that i had played on windows with the original realtek driver installed, and the results were a higher sound | 18:43 |
| guntbert | matlab: but i don't remember exactly | 18:43 |
| devius | webtoe>: i accesed the whole panel and increased the sound, played a specific song that i had played on windows with the original realtek driver installed, and the results were a higher sound | 18:43 |
| usser | isharis, force Force the mounting even if the NTFS logfile is unclean. The logfile will be uncon‐ditionally cleared. Use this option with caution and for your own responsibility. | 18:43 |
| isharis | usser: doesn't work | 18:43 |
| usser | isharis, what does it say? | 18:43 |

| usser | isharis, probably mistyped the command, do u know your /dev name? does the mountpoint exist? | 18:44 |
| === CBoss is now known as Heikus | ||
| webtoe | devius: There are a couple of things here. 1.) Your media player may be artificially increasing the volume (vlc can do this) or 2.) the windows driver is increasing the volume above what Linux thinks the card can do | 18:44 |
| Slart | isharis: lose the / | 18:44 |

| usersam | isharis, I fixed it with gtk-qt-engine-kde4 | 18:45 |

| isharis | Slart: I have the mountpoint in /media | 18:45 |
| webtoe | Nixk490: are you not just using the unbuntu installer? I'm no expert but I thought it helped with resizing. I'm not the best to ask about this. Have you googled as this should be a common problem? | 18:45 |

| name_name | using xubuntu | 19:10 |
| ubuntu_567 | hi ALL | 19:10 |
| filac | odd rationale: what do I use for mountpoint ? | 19:10 |
| name_name | Thurston: wut the deal? | 19:11 |
| Odd-rationale | filac: the mount point of the deivice | 19:11 |
| dabbu | usser: no used to use vi but in ubuntu for some reason when i use arrow keys it wirtes a b c and d so its not working properly here so i am swuthing to nano..is my dicision good | 19:11 |
| filac | Odd rationale : for device i use the drive name and mountpoint is what ? the drive letter ? | 19:11 |
| Odd-rationale | dabbu: use hjkl instead | 19:11 |
| Thurston | i downloaded and burned the new live cd, and when it goes to the ubuntu log in screen, it will load up some, maybe go to the desktop, but then goes right back to the login screen | 19:11 |
| dabbu | Odd-rationale: hjkl another editor ..... | 19:12 |
| usser | dabbu, did u try vim | 19:12 |
| dabbu | usser: no | 19:12 |
| name_name | Thurston: you just trying or wanna install? | 19:12 |
| Odd-rationale | filac: the mount point, usually found in /media/ | 19:12 |
| Thurston | both. i want to dual boot with xp | 19:12 |
| MrElendig | dabbu: easy to solve, there are 200 pages on it on google | 19:12 |
| usser | dabbu, give it a shot, its pretty good | 19:12 |
| Odd-rationale | dabbu: you are supposed to use hjkl instead of the arrow keys in vi | 19:12 |
| name_name | Thurston: already have XP on the machine, yes? | 19:13 |
| Thurston | yes | 19:13 |
| dabbu | Odd-rationale:how to do that ? | 19:13 |

| Odd-rationale | dabbu: h==left, j==up, k==down, l=left | 19:13 |

| Odd-rationale | oops | 19:13 |
| Odd-rationale | filac: no | 19:13 |
| gnlnx | dabbu: j == down, k==up | 19:14 |
| dabbu | usser:vim is working preety well.thanks..i had not used it | 19:14 |
| Odd-rationale | Gnea: ye correct, sorry... | 19:14 |
| Odd-rationale | oops | 19:14 |
| gnlnx | dabbu: l == right :) | 19:14 |
| Odd-rationale | gnlnx: i meant | 19:14 |
| name_name | ViPorX: I love liveCDs but they don't have custom configrations when they boot up (read restricted formats) | 19:14 |
| gnlnx | Odd-rationale: I had to open vi to make sure I was confused for a bit :) | 19:15 |
| Odd-rationale | filac: what folders do you have in /media? | 19:15 |
| Thurston | crap. i have to go to a wedding. i'll be back late to try n figure tihs out, hopefully someone will be on to help me out | 19:15 |
| dabbu | gnlnx: i can't press esc and then h j kl for moving everytime | 19:15 |
| VipOrX | you can install packages using the LiveCD, do all custimazations, etc... it just install stuffs to a special memory FS | 19:15 |
| Thurston | thanks for tryin guys, peace | 19:15 |
| Odd-rationale | gnlnx: i got it all backwards... :/ | 19:15 |
| name_name | Thurston: when you see the ubuntu disc boot up you should be about to install from the first splash screen, just choose install instead of run and install or something like that | 19:15 |

| dabbu | i just tried vim and its working perfectly | 19:15 |
| dabbu | i had problem when i was using vi | 19:15 |
| name_name | VipOrX: links? | 19:15 |
| filac | odd rationale: i have cdrom and cdrom0 | 19:15 |
| gnlnx | dabbu: I use gvim since I work mostly in gnome and don't usually run vi/vim on console | 19:16 |
| Odd-rationale | filac: ok try this. "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/thx /mnt -o force" | 19:16 |
| dabbu | gnlnx:how does gvim works | 19:16 |
| ganymede | is there a way to make it so that if i type a URL into the alt+f2 dialog, then it launches that URL via firefox? on gentoo, this seems to be the default behavior, but not in ubuntu | 19:16 |
| gnlnx | dabbu: it's vim on a window | 19:16 |
| gnlnx | nothing special | 19:16 |
| Odd-rationale | filac: then browse to the /mnt directory and see if you can see the files... | 19:16 |
| MrElendig | dabbu: gvim is vim with a gtk gui | 19:17 |
| VipOrX | just download the Ubuntu install ISO, and instead of installing, use the option "try Ubuntu without making any changes" This will boot the Install CD and you can then install as many packages as you want using apt-get and customize all week... depending on amount of RAM | 19:17 |
| dabbu | gnlnx:so it is gui of vim | 19:17 |
| name_name | VipOrX: I've install stuff with liveCDs before but that goes into the RAM, duh. I what I need to for the system to boot up with restricted formats installed, let the user make a mess, then reboot and have it back to how it was | 19:17 |
| kbrosnan | ganymede: works for me http://google.com | 19:17 |
| gnlnx | dabbu: yeah...like MrElendig said | 19:17 |
| misterecs81 | I'm having unknown issues with my Sound Device under Hardy . . . can someone help me troubleshoot it? I get sound SOMETIMES, but not others . . . very confusing. | 19:17 |

| speener | or gtk | 19:29 |
| kbrosnan | ganymede: so the possiblities are that gentoo and ubuntu have different vesions of the program that provides alt + f2, gentoo has a patch that is not upstreamed or there is a pref (maybe in gconf-editor) | 19:30 |

| ompaul | [[mandrix]], sudo iptables -L if you any ip data or domain data you have something running so do sudo iptables -F | 19:43 |

| ompaul | Sinnerman, yeap but do it in menu.1st | 19:45 |
| armrp | alraune: should i try reinstalling? | 19:45 |
| alraune | armrp:k, so driver is missing, see pm | 19:45 |
| naruttebay1 | How can I tell if my network is WPA or WEP protected? | 19:46 |
| ompaul | naruttebay1, if your card sees network it will tell you | 19:46 |
| MrElendig | naruttebay1: by checking on the router | 19:46 |
| MrElendig | naruttebay1: or by sniffing it | 19:46 |

| membrane1 | Hello guys. Has anybody got 3D gfx and realtime kernel to work without freeze ups? If so, what hardware combo works? | 19:47 |
| Sinnerman | ompaul: i'd like to check it at boot time first to see if it works. if not... won't be worth much. besides, i forgot to tell you, the keyboard is responsive up until grub loads the kernel. the mouse light goes off then on again, and those times that it does not work, it stays on, but the keyboar's dead from that moment onwards. | 19:47 |
| Sinnerman | ompaul: so im pretty sure that rules out a defective port. | 19:47 |

| naruttebay1 | Because I'm trying to connect to a wireless connection. So I click on the Network icon at the top and it gives me a list of the wireless networks.

| npope-laptop | r00: that is a personal opinion but i like the default transmission | 19:57 |
| naruttebay1 | npope-laptop: It was probably an easy fix like a corrupted .iso but people just get irritated when using a new OS. | 19:57 |

I know Wine supports some just fine, but not all though and thats a major setback. And then I started reading about vmware and virtualbox. Now, can I get either one of them to run in the background inside my linux and get VB studio for say to appear in my Gnome / Kde start launcher? | 20:12 |
| Slart | cr33pup: I think most of the important stuff is in /home and /etc .. unless you've got lots of space and time for the total backup | 20:12 |

| cr33pup | kbrosnan: ok, I have a 90 GB external HD, so it won't hurt to back EVERYTHING up, and then once I have installed unbuntu again, recovered the files I need, then I can just delete the stuff | 20:14 |
| Slart | valleyp: some of these files has a switch so you run them like "bigupdatepackagethingy.exe /extract" they will just extract the files to the current folder or something | 20:14 |
| Slart | valleyp: but it might be different for different updates of course | 20:15 |
| qr | hlpme: seriously though, if you want to program in VB then you're really best off in windows. VB is a Microsoft product and really isn't designed to have any interaction with linux at all. | 20:15 |

| xTheGoat121x | Greetings all, I seem to suddenly be having problems with Compiz. It worked as recently as last night. | 20:26 |
| eligos | I have a question... I changed from ubuntu (default) to kubuntu, but don't like it, now I cant change back, any clue on how to? | 20:26 |
| qr | eligos: log out and in the lower left corner there should be a menu with an option to change your session. | 20:27 |
| bastid_raZor | eligos; when you get to the login screen.. the lower left hand corner (normally) select a gnome | 20:27 |
| bastid_raZor | eligos; it'll ask you if you want to make that the default. click yes. | 20:27 |
| eraldo | I am having troubles with the Nvidia graphics card EN7600GT anyone using the same ? | 20:28 |
| xTheGoat121x | When I run compiz --replace from terminal, I get a bunch of errors. Which has never happened before. | 20:28 |
| eligos | bastid_razor & qr: I did that already, but the kubuntu login always appears | 20:28 |
| bastid_raZor | eligos; the login screen doesn't mean you're not using gnome. kubuntu has changed your splash that is all | 20:28 |
| qr | eligos: it should take you to a regular ubuntu desktop if you select the correct session though. | 20:28 |
| Frozen_North | eligos: did you install kumuntu over your ubuntu install? | 20:29 |
| eligos | bastid_razor: how do I change the splash then? | 20:29 |
| chazco | Hi... how can i enable Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3... for switching to virtual terminals? | 20:29 |
| eligos | Frozen_north: yes | 20:29 |
| bastid_raZor | xTheGoat121x; look in #compiz-fusion for compiz help. if they are around. | 20:29 |
| eligos | all I did was change form genome to kde using synaptic | 20:29 |
| Frozen_North | chazco: what wm are you using? | 20:30 |
| bastid_raZor | eligos; you can uninstall kde. not sure if that'll fix your splash. | 20:30 |
| zzl | what is a good subtitle ripping program for dvd files? | 20:30 |
| eligos | bastid_Razor: what bothers me is not really the splash screen, but I cant open synaptic from the terminal any more, and some other things have changed | 20:31 |

| simotempler | Hi guys have a problem - my brother just destroyed xp on my dual boot and i need to re install xp for him on that partition again. My pc is set up so my 1st HD is split 20GB ubuntu / 20GB xp and I have a 2nd HD of 300GB for media and files. Can i back up my grub etc settings in advance so that when xp becomes the auto boot after the reinstall I can get setup easily again - sorry long winded i know stupid XP! | 20:40 |
| eligos | bastid_razor: let me try that | 20:40 |
| bastid_raZor | Nutzebahn; use the google. | 20:40 |
| chazco | Frozen_North - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace works... | 20:40 |
| filac | Odd rationale: you leave, anything other i can do. I could have reinstalled unbuntu and mounted the drive by now im guessing, no easy fix ? | 20:41 |
| aechols | simortempler: as long as you install everything back to the same partitions, it should work | 20:41 |
| aechols | You have to make sure they are in the same order, etc | 20:41 |
| simotempler | no but xp will over write grub | 20:41 |
| aechols | Yes | 20:41 |
| norman_x | anybody here, who knows rhythmbox? | 20:41 |
| simotempler | was so hard to fix the last time | 20:42 |

| taomaster | hello i have ubuntu 8 installed but i think 7.10 is better. Anyone with me? | 20:44 |
| bastid_raZor | eligos; right, you're still using kdm. okay to get gdm back where you can then uninstal kde and kubuntu-desktop.. which will solve your problems.. | 20:45 |
| NTAUTHORITY | you know what, I havent thought of that :P | 20:45 |
| npope-laptop | konner: depends on the wireless card | 20:45 |
| NTAUTHORITY | good idea | 20:45 |
| konner | i agree taomaster | 20:45 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | simotempler: OK, there is a way to add the Linux boot to the Windows boot loader | 20:45 |
| Frozen_North | NTAUTHORITY: Either will work, same underneath just different WM | 20:45 |

| NTAUTHORITY | im pc is 500 mhz p3, 192 mb ram, 12 gb hd, what linux distro will run | 20:45 |
| NTAUTHORITY | ? | 20:45 |
| NTAUTHORITY | will Xubuntu run? | 20:45 |
| doggymenz | i think so | 20:45 |
| konner | yes NTAUTHORITY Xubuntu is for older PCs like that | 20:46 |
| NTAUTHORITY | i hope | 20:46 |
| NTAUTHORITY | it has a 4 mb gfx card tho | 20:46 |
| qr | NTAUTHORITY: any distro will run, but I wouldn't try to run a window manager on that machine if I were you. | 20:46 |
| eligos | bastid_razor: what is the fastest way to do that? | 20:46 |
| bastid_raZor | eligos; you'll need to write this down .. ctrl f1 to get to tty1 then type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. that should get you back to a gdm session and login screen. once you get logged back in get rid of the kde stuff | 20:46 |
| Frozen_North | I would go w/ Xbuntu or Vector for that spec of a machine | 20:46 |

| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; that means it is running. i don't know where the buddy list is. do you have more than one desktop? possibly it is on another workspace? | 20:55 |
| tw3akz | damnit | 20:55 |
| usser | NTAUTHORITY, or audacious if u look for something winamp-like | 20:55 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: what do you need help with on partioning | 20:55 |
| fyrestrtr | dabbu: http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/documentations/subpage/documents/C/anjuta-manual/x893.html | 20:55 |
| NTAUTHORITY | i never used winamp | 20:55 |
| NTAUTHORITY | i was just thinking of it :P | 20:55 |
| BlueAidan | amarok is really nice | 20:56 |
| tw3akz | im a noob to partitions but anyways im dual booting with vista | 20:56 |
| tw3akz | and im at step 4 of the ubuntu insatll | 20:56 |
| fyrestrtr | tw3akz: let the partitioner automatically use the free space. | 20:56 |
| webble | oh cool. now im on another server too. i was worried if i would get disconnected from ubuntu server if i connect to others | 20:56 |
| siimo | why doesnt ubuntu use partial (?) apt like debian? rather than download the 5mb universe update every time | 20:56 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: using wubi or install off the live cd? | 20:56 |
| tw3akz | how? i clicked manual | 20:56 |
| tw3akz | im installing off of cd | 20:56 |
| Ashfire908 | tasksel desided to remove more than I told it and it took out my LAMP system, if I install a package marked as redisual config and I reinstall it, will the missing config files be restored? | 20:56 |
| BlueAidan | amarok is part of KDE. if you're using ubuntu and not kubuntu, you might like rhythmbox better | 20:56 |
| NTAUTHORITY | Quote from Xubuntu.org | 20:56 |
| NTAUTHORITY | Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 192 MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to have at least 256 MB RAM. | 20:56 |
| fyrestrtr | tw3akz: why did you click manual? :) | 20:56 |
| npope-laptop | ok so do you have free space on the drive | 20:56 |
| NTAUTHORITY | does this mean it will be too slow | 20:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | NTAUTHORITY: what are the specs of the machine you're trying to install on? | 20:56 |
| NTAUTHORITY | 500 Mhz P3 192 MB RAM, 12.6 GB HDD | 20:57 |
| Reaby | any ideas to get ubuntu booting: tried with options "noacpi noapic nolapic", but what user gets is "loading kernel 100%" and computer boots. | 20:57 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: boot into windows first and defrag your harddrive, then use guided to resize :) | 20:57 |
| tw3akz | "Guided - Use Entire Disk" ???? | 20:57 |
| tw3akz | wont that erase my vista partition | 20:57 |
| qr | NTAUTHORITY: everything is going to be slow with 192MB of ram if you're running a WM. | 20:57 |
| NTAUTHORITY | 4 MB Video card, i forgot | 20:57 |
| BlueAidan | NTAUTHORITY: depends on how many apps you run at the same time | 20:57 |
| fyrestrtr | NTAUTHORITY: yes, it will be slow. | 20:57 |
| qr | NTAUTHORITY: not much you can do about that except get more ram. | 20:57 |
| NTAUTHORITY | its only for basic internet | 20:57 |
| tw3akz | i already defragged about 4 times :D | 20:57 |
| usser | qr, unless of course its windowmaker or gnustep | 20:57 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: ok good, then use Guided - Resize | 20:57 |
| fyrestrtr | NTAUTHORITY: if you plan on running firefox, then it will be very slow. | 20:57 |
| groklinux | new sata drive connected in ext. enclosure connected via usb shows up as only a single 250gb disk both in gparted and fdisk -l...(I'm on 8.04) is there a hdd size limitation or something? | 20:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | NTAUTHORITY: you may want to look at instaling Xubuntu, then installing Fluxbox GUI.. it will run quite fluidly w/ 192mb. | 20:57 |
| _earthmeLon | Hey guys, I changed my hostname using the hostname command just a few seconds ago and now apache FAILS on restart. Any suggestions? I've tried hostname www.blah.com and blah.com. Both do not work. | 20:57 |
| qr | usser: no, he has 192MB of ram and a 500Mhz processor, any window manager will be slow. | 20:58 |
| NTAUTHORITY | ok | 20:58 |
| tw3akz | npope-laptop: there's no option for that, there's only "Guided - Use Entire Disk" | 20:58 |
| fyrestrtr | groklinux: how big is the disk? | 20:58 |
| groklinux | fyrestrtr: 500gb | 20:58 |
| usser | qr, windowmaker will run comfortably on that | 20:58 |
| NTAUTHORITY | i know Damn Small Linux will be fast :P | 20:58 |
| mkquist | tw3akz: if you dont want to use your whole disk then make a / (root) partitions and a swap somewhere with the partitioner | 20:58 |
| dabbu | fyrestrtr:there is no build option in my anjuta | 20:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | NTAUTHORITY: but not as functional as an Ubuntu derivative(IMO) | 20:58 |
| npope-laptop | _earthmeLon: it more than likely hasnt taken effect yet, try hard coding it into /etc/network (i belive) or reboot the comp for the hostname to engage | 20:58 |
| fyrestrtr | dabbu: install build-essential and read the documentation. | 20:58 |
| Ashfire908 | If I install a package marked as redisual config and I install it, will the missing config files be restored? | 20:59 |
| NTAUTHORITY | yeah | 20:59 |
| NTAUTHORITY | i tried it | 20:59 |
| fyrestrtr | groklinux: it could be a setting in your bios. | 20:59 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: resize your partitions with GParted under the System, Administration tool bar | 20:59 |
| NTAUTHORITY | ahh so sorry i forget the no enter rule ! | 20:59 |
| fyrestrtr | groklinux: linux doesn't impose any such limit. | 20:59 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: that will make room for your linux install | 20:59 |
| groklinux | fyrestrtr: i didn't think so and that's an excellent lead...thx | 20:59 |
| tw3akz | npope-laptop: how do i resize them i what i'm curious about | 20:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | tw3akz: gparted's GUI is pretty easy to use. | 21:00 |
| npope-laptop | you pretty much drag and drop with the gui version | 21:00 |
| Reaby | any ideas to get ubuntu booting: tried with options "noacpi noapic nolapic", but what user gets is "loading kernel 100%" and computer reboots. any ideas what to try next? | 21:00 |
| badkitty | If I want to remote control a ubuntu desktop over the internet, what is the best way for me to do that? | 21:00 |
| _earthmeLon | well, i was able to restart httpd before i did the hostname command. and AS SOON as i did it, it wouldnt restart | 21:00 |
| qr | badkitty: vnc | 21:00 |
| npope-laptop | tw3akz: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/10/21/partitioning-or-resizing-drives-in-ubuntu-using-gparted/ | 21:00 |
| tw3akz | is it the partition editor? | 21:00 |
| qr | !vnc | badkitty | 21:00 |
| ubottu | badkitty: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 21:00 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | badkitty: turn on the ubuntu desktop sharing... it's got vnc builtin | 21:00 |
| tw3akz | npope-laptop: thanks for that link un momento | 21:01 |
| badkitty | qr: Isn't vnc unsecure though? | 21:01 |
| NTAUTHORITY | are theregood AIM clients for Xubuntu? | 21:01 |
| npope-laptop | Reaby: try booting into single user mode , "s" at the end of the grub line | 21:01 |
| _earthmeLon | npope-laptop well, i was able to restart httpd before i did the hostname command. and AS SOON as i did it, it wouldnt restart | 21:01 |
| usser | badkitty, also try X over ssh | 21:01 |
| AaronShaf | in Ubuntu where is the php5 log located? | 21:01 |
| usser | NTAUTHORITY, pidgin | 21:01 |
| qr | badkitty: if you're worried about security run vnc over ssh. ssh is very secure. | 21:01 |
| NTAUTHORITY | oh ok | 21:01 |
| npope-laptop | _earthmeLon: thats because it is dependant on the hostname on the server, restarting the server should sync them together again | 21:01 |
| badkitty | qr: Ok, what about vpn ?? | 21:01 |
| _earthmeLon | alright | 21:02 |
| _earthmeLon | sounds good | 21:02 |
| npope-laptop | NTAUTHORITY: finch is a very nice cli version of pidgin | 21:02 |
| NTAUTHORITY | so I guess Xubuntu doesnt have any processor requirments... | 21:02 |
| filac | Im getting a corrupt volume error when trying to mount an external usb drive that worked fine yesterday, can anyone help ? | 21:02 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | NTAUTHORITY: Pidgin... I'm using it right now for this IRC | 21:02 |
| fyrestrtr | AaronShaf: the same place the apache log is stored. | 21:02 |
| NTAUTHORITY | oh | 21:02 |
| qr | badkitty: yes, you could run vnc over an encrypted vpn for security, that would work as well. | 21:02 |
| usser | AaronShaf, i dont think it has its own log look at apache acess and error logs | 21:02 |
| barbarella | _earthmeLon:have you checked the error logs | 21:02 |
| NTAUTHORITY | i like XChat | 21:02 |
| AaronShaf | fyrestrtr, I use lighttpd | 21:02 |
| usser | AaronShaf, in /var/log of course | 21:02 |
| Reaby | npope-laptop: ok. does it help in live-cd in install situation, and how to ensure ubuntu works after intallation | 21:02 |
| badkitty | qr: which would be easier to set up? | 21:02 |
| dabbu | fyrestrtr: how to build-essential | 21:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | NTAUTHORITY: it has proc. requirements.. i think you're right on the bottom of that.. | 21:02 |
| fyrestrtr | AaronShaf: the its where its logs are stored. PHP doesn't do its own logging unless you explicitly tell it. | 21:02 |
| usser | AaronShaf, lighthttd should log php events then | 21:02 |
| qr | badkitty: a simple point-to-point vpn is fairly easy to set up. | 21:03 |
| fyrestrtr | dabbu: sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc | 21:03 |
| npope-laptop | Reaby: sorry thought you were getting farther than the boot off the CD | 21:03 |
| usser | badkitty, take a look at openvpn | 21:03 |
| sempaticBLacK | sa | 21:03 |
| badkitty | qr: thanks so much, so to recap before I start googling you think point to point vpn is better than vnc over ssh for ease of setup? | 21:03 |
| badkitty | usser: thanks bro | 21:04 |
| sempaticBLacK | amq bu ne :nono: | 21:04 |
| Reaby | npope-laptop: nope, i have an forum topic in loco forum, user has problem that ubuntu doesn't even boot. so maybe i just tell him that you system is incompatible? | 21:04 |
| sempaticBLacK | :nono: | 21:04 |
| _earthmeLon | npope-laptop, vim /etc/networks. Looking in there. What should I add bro? | 21:04 |
| npope-laptop | badkitty: why are yo using vnc over ssh just do an x forward | 21:04 |
| qr | badkitty: vpn over ssh is probably easier to set up, but will have to be set up every time you make a connection. with a vpn you can set it up once and then re-use it by just reconnecting to vnc through the existing vpn. | 21:04 |
| dabbu | fyrestrtr:there is no problem here..it is already there..i am able to compile c programme using gcc command in terminal | 21:04 |
| fyrestrtr | dabbu: then setup your project correctly | 21:05 |
| npope-laptop | Reaby: could be a bad iso image that was burned or a bad cd thats throwing some weird codes to the bootmanager | 21:05 |

| ompaul | r00, ask google they support certain things - tell them your video card | 21:13 |

| Flare183 | r00: Thats right, the MOTU make sure the package is unbreakable before uploading it to the build queue. | 21:13 |

I have gotten so far as to create a successful preseed file. the porblem is i want to have the latest updates with the install BUT not as separate packages. they should replace the onld packages making the cd image as small as possible, anyone know how to do this? | 21:22 |

| Mr_Bad_News | nm-applet doesnt show up and i cant use network-admin | 21:23 |

| bastid_raZor | eligos; awesome, glad i could help :) | 21:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Seth_and_Meribet: what is your wireless device | 21:24 |
| usser | evilbug, yep thats pretty much how its in ubuntu | 21:24 |
| usser | evilbug, install a base server | 21:24 |
| Seth_and_Meribet | when I do that thing in terminal it lets me know that it knows that I have a wireless card | 21:24 |
| jpjacobs | Pirate_Hunter: even when the gui mixer already reports 100% | 21:24 |
| Agent_bob | ok. one more thing. i have installed things like w32codecs and libdvd*** is there a way to disarm such things so that data dvd's don't have to flow through those filters too ? what i could one time read at 20m/s is now at 1m/s ??? | 21:24 |

| Kristopher | will a .deb file work with ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: It depends. But yes, Ubuntu uses debs. | 21:25 |
| evilbug | usser- does the server come with X, or do i have to install it? | 21:25 |
| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: WARNING: /usr/bin/firefox is not a directory. | 21:25 |
| Kristopher | ok ;) | 21:25 |
| psypher246 | Flannel: i have been following that, NO mention of what i am asking about | 21:25 |
| usser | evilbug, no sever is bare terminal | 21:25 |
| jpjacobs | Seth_and_Meribet: wwhen trying with keys, always remove the old entry in the edit wireless networks thing, apparently it doesn't really update well | 21:25 |
| usser | evilbug, *server | 21:25 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; /usr/bin is though... firefox is the command. like the other guy said.. if you're installing flash manually that is probably a bad idea | 21:26 |
| Flannel | psypher246: You need to download the updated debs, then rebuild the packages(.gz) | 21:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jpjacobs: ok in System>Pref>sound check to see if your sound is alsa or pulseaudio if it is already chosen there try looking at obottu link | 21:26 |
| jpjacobs | alsa | 21:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !sound | jpjacobs | 21:26 |
| ubottu | jpjacobs: 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).

| foxhound_ | bastid_razor how to install it in other way ? | 21:26 |

| Seth_and_Meribet | jpjacobs: when I go to admin>networking it doesn't even give me the option to connect via wireless - i don't think I have a driver installed on linux | 21:27 |

| Pirate_Hunter | !mic | jpjacobs | 21:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mic | 21:27 |
| Flannel | psypher246: Well, you'll be overwriting the ones in the pool, and then updating the packages.gz so it knows what the new versions are. | 21:27 |
| jpjacobs | Pirate_Hunter: indeed | 21:27 |
| foxhound_ | i have the tar.gz file, or is it no use ? | 21:27 |
| === NTAUTHORITY is now known as Mac32geek | ||
| Agent_bob | aguitel lshw | 21:27 |
| evilbug | usser- and one more thing, does the server ask me about what packages i'd like installed? | 21:27 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; what tar.gz? from where? | 21:27 |
| Flannel | psypher246: you don't want foo v 1-3 you want foo v 1-3ubuntu4 instead. | 21:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jpjacobs: youve increased you mic sound and nothing no sound? | 21:28 |
| psypher246 | Flannel: sorry i thought that just included whatever new appas you install cos u create a new repo, didn't realise this includes updates | 21:28 |
| jpjacobs | Seth_and_Meribet: you do have the wireless card on (eg no hardware killswitch or an fn+... key combo)? | 21:28 |
| psypher246 | Flannel: foo? | 21:28 |
| Agent_bob | jpjacobs igain ^ | 21:28 |
| usser | evilbug, its only asks for a role like lamp or dhcp and installs packages that are needed for that role | 21:28 |
| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: from adobe.com | 21:28 |
| aguitel | Agent_bob, thankz | 21:28 |
| Flannel | psypher246: Well, I'm not sure ifthere's anyway to automate the update processes of that, but you could install a fresh install, update, and then copy stuff from your apt archives (or just download everything manually from the repos) | 21:28 |
| Seth_and_Meribet | jpjacobs: yes the wireless card is on | 21:28 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; does adobe.com give you instructions on what to do with said tar.gz? | 21:29 |
| Flannel | psypher246: just ... random package for an example. | 21:29 |
| jpjacobs | Pirate_Hunter: the sound does work, all sliders are at 100% and unmuted, i selected the right mic channel, but the volume is waaay to low to be usable | 21:29 |

| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: nope, just a download | 21:29 |
| evilbug | usser- i see. i'm looking to install a barebones ubuntu since i'm already used to commands and whatnot, and i imagine that the desktop version does come with stuff i don't need running in the bg. | 21:29 |
| Raspe | hey guys. I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and it's the first time i've ever used any type of linux OS. Is there any type of system maintenance required to keep the OS running at peak performance like there is in windows? | 21:30 |
| psypher246 | Flannel: ok i'll have a look, this truly has to be as hand free as possible, just put in cd and boot and install everything with updates and as small as possible\ | 21:30 |
| Killer--Tux | usser what properties | 21:30 |
| usser | evilbug, oh yes, if u want custom installation desktop is no way to go | 21:30 |
| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: i opened the flash player directly instead of terminal and it installed it for me | 21:30 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; have you tried uncompressing the file to see if it has instructions in there somewhere? | 21:30 |
| evilbug | usser- thanks, that's it. for now... :) | 21:30 |
| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: looks like the path is home/foxhound/firefox | 21:30 |
| Flannel | psypher246: Right, I'm talking about doing it on *your* machine, and then grabbing the updated versions from your apt archives and putting them onto the CD image | 21:30 |
| usser | Killer--Tux, the virtual machine settings. | 21:30 |

| WhatsHisName_Sea | Raspe: not so much... but you'll notice every 30-40 bootups it will want to do a checkdisk (fsck in Linux terms) | 21:31 |
| Agent_bob | jpjacobs igain control (slider) but you will also want to mute the mic-boost and/or external amp | 21:31 |
| qr | Shadow6363: you mean like sudo permissions? | 21:31 |
| psypher246 | Flannel: ok, but can i just replace the file in the pool with the new file? | 21:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jpjacobs: reading online for your problem but i guess this might be beyond my expertise | 21:31 |
| Agent_bob | jpjacobs in alsamixer controls | 21:31 |
| foxhound_ | is there a way to change the contrast and ligh/gamma of my screen ? because everything is dark | 21:31 |
| Flannel | Shadow6363: adduser, and then add them to the admin group | 21:31 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; which firefox told you that? | 21:31 |
| Raspe | whatshisname_sea: thanks. what does fsck mean exactly? | 21:31 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | Raspe: but there is really no need for defrag or anything like that | 21:31 |
| Flannel | psypher246: Yes, provided you rebuild the packages/packages.gz | 21:32 |
| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: not firefox, the flashplayer installer | 21:32 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | Raspe: fsck is the check disk utility in Linux | 21:32 |
| earthmeLon | npope-la1top. I regenerated my ssl key. Maybe I didnt do it correctly. I've found a lot of posts saying that that could be a problem. I am having a hard time finding a good tutorial on just setting up the certs/keys whatever. Any suggestion for that? | 21:32 |
| psypher246 | and that is mentioned in the installcd wiki | 21:32 |
| Raspe | whatshisname_sea: ok great. thanks | 21:32 |
| jpjacobs | Agent_bob: no igain, nor external amp (which would be kinda weird for a mic i guess)... | 21:32 |
| Flannel | psypher246: the alternate/server install CD has the preseed/etc stuff which tells it what packages to install, and then a repository on the CD, which it uses to install from. | 21:32 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; okay. | 21:32 |
| honigpuppe22 | hallo | 21:32 |
| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: is there a way to change the contrast and ligh/gamma of my screen ? because everything is dark | 21:32 |
| usser | Killer--Tux, alright remove /home and replace it with /home/adolfo | 21:32 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | Raspe: By the way... Welcome aboard! | 21:32 |
| Agent_bob | jpjacobs alsamixer controls the card not the attached devices | 21:32 |
| usser | Killer--Tux, name it home | 21:32 |
| Flannel | psypher246: Which is also what the minimal CD does, except that it doesn't have packages on the CD, and gets them straight from the repositories online instead. | 21:33 |

| nomopofomo | how the heck can i stop ubuntu from stretching my desktop to my monitor's native resolution? i'm trying to select a resolution in a game which is a 4:3 resolution but it's stretching it to 16:10 | 21:35 |
| jsquared | is there a command I can pipe stuff through to see how long the input command took? | 21:35 |
| usser | Killer--Tux, and add a different one with Folder Path /home/adolfo and Folder name home | 21:36 |

| qr | jsquared: you can do time command to see how long command takes | 21:36 |
| dorothy | WhatsHisName_Sea: I even scoured the net to find a solution to no avail | 21:36 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | dorothy: did you uncheck the "reduce backlight brightness" on the "On Battery tab"? | 21:36 |
| Agent_bob | jpjacobs that explains it. sorry i bothered you. | 21:36 |
| dorothy | WhatsHisName_Sea: yes | 21:36 |
| bastid_raZor | foxhound_; windows ati drivers and ubuntu ati drivers are not the same. therefore in ubuntu it may not.. yet i do not know if it does. you could google or look around on the forums | 21:36 |
| jsquared | qr, Agent_bob: that seems to require that I specify the command as part of time, though | 21:36 |
| WhatsHisName_Sea | dorothy: OK, you should probably see if this is set in your BIOS | 21:36 |
| qr | jsquared: yes, that's how time works | 21:37 |
| jsquared | I'd like to be able to do something like "x | time" <-- measures how long it took x to run | 21:37 |
| dorothy | WhatsHisName_Sea: been ther, done that | 21:37 |
| dorothy | there* | 21:37 |

| foxhound_ | bastid_razor: i see, i'll keep trying | 21:37 |
| Killer--Tux | usser i got a error | 21:37 |
| qr | jsquared: you cant accuartely time something that way | 21:37 |
| Agent_bob | jsquared why would you want to time a pipe ? | 21:37 |

| WhatsHisName_Sea | you can turn off acpi and apmd support by going to System->Services and find them in the list and un-check them there. The next time you bootup they will not run. If you want to turn them off without rebooting you can (after you uncheck them in the services list) run the following from the command line: "/etc/init.d/acpi-support stop" and then "/etc/init.d/acpid stop" | 21:51 |

| Rocknzen | he only thing I need to fix now is the rsolution | 22:03 |

| Agent_bob | rikkimaru when you say you "reset the root password" do you mean the actual root or the root jr. / first user account ? and by reset is that locked the account or entered a new password ? | 22:18 |

| TheClam | usser: it's stuffing things up, I can't ignore it. ARP entries get tied to it and I then can't communicate with those hosts | 23:05 |
| foobuntu | thank you, thats a start | 23:06 |
| Mac32geek | o.. kay... | 23:06 |
| pdlnhrd | LogicalDash: i am sorry... but it is beyond my scope... which i could help more... it seems right... i would assume it would mount a directory in /media on insertion | 23:06 |

| Agent_bob | FarmCretin have to end -exec with a \; | 23:07 |
| pdlnhrd | LogicalDash: let me google a second | 23:07 |
| TheClam | usser: i.e. I just rebooted it and though it associated with the AP, I couldn't ping it... go on the console and it's got a correct ARP against wlan0 and an incomplete against wifi0. Down and up wifi0 and all's good, but you need local access to do that | 23:07 |
| qr | FarmCretin: you need a space before \; | 23:07 |
| Agent_bob | foobuntu fair enough. | 23:07 |
| qr | amenado: what is what? | 23:07 |
| FarmCretin | thanks, i think that did it | 23:07 |
| amenado | qr you are the one that mentions my nick, what do you want? | 23:08 |
| usser | TheClam, thats strange wifi0 usually doesnt interfere | 23:08 |
| foobuntu | I guess I could create a www dir under my home and point a virtual to that? | 23:08 |

| pdlnhrd | NodeRazor: sorry, i tried | 23:31 |
| NodeRazor | hehe thank you | 23:31 |
| markstos | tortho: I suspect RT stands for "Real-Time", so I further suspect it has optimizations for low-latency. | 23:32 |
| Agent_bob | markstos i wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pool | 23:32 |
| will00 | i have an asus m50 laptop and it has built in ir, i recently acquired an hp ir remote for one of their laptops, is there a way that i could use this remote with this computer? | 23:32 |

| NodeRazor | They have ia64 but not amd64 or any platform. | 23:32 |
| Agent_bob | pole even | 23:32 |
| kc8pxy | why would mksquashfs complain about a broken symlink, within the squashfs image? | 23:32 |

| Agent_bob | markstos you need to. you can't dd accross size boundries | 23:33 |

| NodeRazor | Core2Quad | 23:33 |
| Agent_bob | markstos mkfs.ext3 the partition. and tar everything over. | 23:34 |
| pdlnhrd | NodeRazor: search for amd64 .deb gnobog.... you'll find a copy if that is the route you want | 23:34 |
| TheClam | usser: cheers for the help. I guess it's just one of those annoying things! Hopefully will be phasing that machine out once I get qmail running on this one anyway | 23:34 |
| kc8pxy | NodeRazor: core2quad is compatible with amd64 | 23:34 |
| NodeRazor | yes | 23:34 |
| pdlnhrd | tortho: yeah... it won't hurt anything... but if you are playing music and games at the same time you might notice one lag over the other | 23:34 |

| kc8pxy | markstos: what would be the appropriate channel? | 23:37 |
| jpiwowar | however it says pidgin supports it | 23:37 |
| duairc | markstos: No actually, it just says "admin". I ran `usermod -a -G www-data duairc`, that should add me to www-data, right? | 23:37 |
| markstos | kc8pxy: I don't know. | 23:37 |
| pdlnhrd | tortho: i took a couple CS classes about that topic... but if you are going to be doing sound and video... a RT kernel is good | 23:37 |
| markstos | duairc: I'm not certain about that, but I know sometimes you have to log out and back into a shell for group changes to take effect. | 23:38 |
| kc8pxy | Agent_bob: all the pages i found seemed a bit old. do yu have a modern link? | 23:38 |

| NodeRazor | too much dependancies needed and no ubuntu package available. | 23:44 |
| simps | Hi all, can anyone direct me to an apt that is able to allow me to view the screen from a remote computer, that is also able to send sound from the server to the remote computer. The server being Ubuntu gutsy and the client being Windows. | 23:44 |
| jpjacobs | (and apart of that, i'm not in the UK :p) | 23:44 |
| KenBW2 | jpjacobs: thats over bluetooth :( | 23:44 |
| NodeRazor | simps, VMware | 23:44 |
| NodeRazor | simps, VirtualBox | 23:44 |
| Starwiz | I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) | 23:45 |
| NodeRazor | simps, VirtualBox, does not support x64 yet. | 23:45 |

| markstos | duairc: Great! glad to help. | 23:45 |
| DarkTan_Linux | can any one help with installin a sound card? | 23:45 |
| Spudly | simps: tsclient - (you're not looking for a virtual machine, are you?) | 23:45 |
| Weaver | Help plz! I think i got my wlan work (the notebook with usb stick is connted to my fritz box). The router tells me there is a connection, but i cant use firefox or ping :/ | 23:45 |
| Qster | anyone using irssi know how to get it to reconnect when it loses connection? | 23:45 |
| Qster | automatically that is | 23:45 |
| simps | Spudly, NodeRazor, not Virtual Machines, no. just a remote server. | 23:46 |
| NodeRazor | you can try VMware server | 23:46 |
| markstos | DarkTan_Linux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 23:46 |
| Spudly | simps: yep - tsclient (which depends on rdesktop) - that'll do ya | 23:46 |
| markstos | Weaver: Can you ping an IP address, but not a name? | 23:47 |
| kc8pxy | markstos: looks like i've followed the howto pretty close.. the only real issue is the fact that the the mksquashfs command in this howto fails, complaining that one of rhe symlinks in the tree to be squashed, is broken. | 23:47 |
| kc8pxy | http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm | 23:47 |
| markstos | Qster: Try #irssi | 23:47 |
| Elaztic | hi, can anyone help with installation of broadcom wireless b43? | 23:47 |
| Spudly | simps: if you install tsclient and rdesktop, you should be fine - in tsclient, you can set options for remote sound coming to local pc (i.e. the one you're connecting from) | 23:47 |
| Spudly | simps: "remote" being the server you're connecting to (hope that makes sense) | 23:48 |
| markstos | kc8pxy: Is it a symlink you care about? :) | 23:48 |
| NodeRazor | simps, you can also try UltraVNC | 23:48 |
| Starwiz | I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) | 23:48 |
| markstos | Elaztic: I installed one recently. Let think if I can recall how. | 23:48 |
| simps | Spudly, yea. Do i need to install anything on the server? or does ubuntu come with that already. | 23:48 |
| kc8pxy | markstos: no it.. but the squashfs might, it's a symlink to the initrd :-/ | 23:48 |
| ed0n0n | how can I check the version of a program installed via apt? | 23:48 |
| Spudly | simps: server = ubuntu... now there's a thing... | 23:49 |
| Spudly | simps: with Windows, I know RDP has it all inbuilt. ubuntu, not sure... | 23:49 |
| lopin | My firefox is broken. It's not loading links... | 23:49 |
| lopin | As are seamonkey, opera, midori, epiphany, and net-surf | 23:49 |
| simps | NodeRazor, i just checked the ultravnc website. it does not mention allowing server sounds to be carried to the client. you are sure it does? | 23:50 |
| simps | Spudly, but i am able to apt-get RDP on ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| Starwiz | I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) | 23:51 |
| Spudly | simps: i believe there is an RDP server... just trying to find out what it's called | 23:51 |
| Tom_nuggin | Does anyone know a good program that extracts mp3 files from flv files? | 23:51 |
| Starwiz | Is my problem unsolvable? :S | 23:51 |
| kc8pxy | markstos: any ideas? | 23:51 |
| NodeRazor | simps, I don't remember, I think so. | 23:52 |
| markstos | kc8pxy: I'm sorry, I'm really not familiar with squashfs. That's why I recommended a more specific help forum. :) | 23:52 |
| tarwatirno | Starwiz: how did you install the nvidia driver? | 23:53 |
| NodeRazor | simps, It has > UltraVNC Mirror Driver | 23:53 |
| NodeRazor | This should work for sound too. | 23:53 |
| kc8pxy | markstos: this is already a more specific help forum.. my primary distro is not ubuntu :) | 23:53 |
| will00 | how would i find out how my internal infrared is connected to my laptop? | 23:53 |
| Starwiz | tarwatirno: I went into the terminal and typed |Sudo init 1| Then, cd and ran the driver. | 23:53 |
| kc8pxy | will00: nasty but likely assured way would be to comb dmesg :) | 23:55 |
| amrik | Hi when I try to build mplayer from source using apt-build I get an error "Missing source package name for source_by_source()." am I missing a line from my apt-sources list? | 23:55 |
| will00 | kc8pxy, what exactly would i be looking for? | 23:55 |
| Starwiz | tarwatirno: I went into the terminal and typed |Sudo init 1| Then, cd and ran the driver. (I ran it 2 times though) | 23:55 |
| tarwatirno | Starwiz: which versio n of the driver are you using? | 23:55 |
| Starwiz | Ummmm. | 23:55 |
| kc8pxy | ...... i 'm not sure.. i'm not practiced in working with IR in linux. but if the kernel saw it, it should be in dmesg, ot /var/log/messages :) | 23:56 |
| NodeRazor | Does apt-file require any specific ports to be open, or does it work like apt-get ? | 23:56 |
| Starwiz | tarwatirno: how do I check | 23:56 |
| Starwiz | ? | 23:56 |
| tarwatirno | Starwiz: the installers filename has a version string at the end | 23:56 |
| CentHOGG | hello, in FSTAB I've set up a linux partition to show up in a folder in my home directory. It works, but it's showing up with "root" permissions. How can I configure the partition to be used just for myself? Thanks in advance :) | 23:57 |
| Starwiz | Kk | 23:57 |
| simps | NodeRazor, i still do not see a mention of sound :x | 23:57 |
| Foxhound | is there a DivX for ubuntu ? | 23:57 |
| NodeRazor | simps, don't know then =D Try a forum, I guess | 23:57 |
