| ravster | hello | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Roxton | I've got an older P4 box with 256MB of memory. When I run the Hardy Heron live CD, I get a heron and a mouse cursor that only updates its position once every 5 seconds. Is this an expected symptom of using a Live CD on a low-memory machine, or is this an indication of the performance I'll get if I do a native install? | 00:00 |

| ravster | how do I install pidgin 2.4.3 on ubuntu 7.10? | 00:00 |
| UncontrolleD | IndyGunFreak oh ok, what i do with the other 120 gb partition? do i format it as ntfs? | 00:00 |
| Robert125 | Is there a program like krfb for gnome? | 00:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: i'm confused.. you have two, 120gig partitions right now, right? | 00:00 |
| UncontrolleD | yes | 00:00 |
| UncontrolleD | 120 one and 120 the other one | 00:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: are you on a live CD now? | 00:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | UncontrolleD: lucky you | 00:01 |
| UncontrolleD | i downloaded ubuntu from the website my laptop is with me at my left side | 00:01 |
| Cope57 | (06:00:21 PM) ravster: how do I install pidgin 2.4.3 on ubuntu 7.10? --- If you know how to install by source you can just go to. http://pidgin.im/download/source/ | 00:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: does it dualboot? | 00:01 |
| UncontrolleD | no | 00:01 |
| owen1_ | Flannel: i installed a package with aptitude. i would like to install a newer version without compiling it (to avoid the 'dependency hell' problem). | 00:01 |
| MatBoy | would it be possible to bridge a networkcard to attach a printer to a network ? | 00:02 |
| Flannel | owen1_: What version do you have, and what version do you want? (and what package is it?) | 00:02 |
| lunatikk | hi you guys | 00:02 |
| shiloh7 | o/ lunatikk | 00:02 |
| ravster | Cope57: thanks. Is there a package that would turn it into .deb format? I don't want to install it without apt-get knowing about it. | 00:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: if you're not dual booting, i would just start the installer, and when it comes time to partition the drive, just tell itt o "take over" the entire drive.. and the installer will set up a swap and ext3 partition for you no prob | 00:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ravster: any package you install synpatic will register it | 00:03 |
| bobertdos | Cope57: Are you talking about RPM's? | 00:03 |
| Flannel | !prevu | ravster | 00:03 |
| ubottu | ravster: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 00:03 |
| owen1_ | Flannel: newsbeuter. the repositories have 0.7 and i am interested in a newer one. | 00:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: like i said, thats if you're not dual booting.. just let the installer to format and setup the entire drive. | 00:03 |
| Cope57 | You could install "alien" to be able to install RPM's | 00:03 |
| owen1_ | Flannel: (it's amazing rss client, text-based) | 00:03 |
| ravster | Pirate_Hunter: even if I install it by source? | 00:03 |
| Adman65 | Hey | 00:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Cope57: thats a bad idea, and not very good advice | 00:03 |
| Adman65 | i've got a broadcom wireless chipset, the module is loaded | 00:04 |
| Adman65 | but its not detected by the Restricted Driver manager | 00:04 |
| UncontrolleD | IndyGunFreak I actually tried that but i get a error saying "Too Small Size" | 00:04 |
| Adman65 | it detected it from the live Cd, just not after the install | 00:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: huh? | 00:04 |
| UncontrolleD | on dev/sdb1 | 00:04 |
| Flannel | owen1_: 0.9.1 is in Intrepid | 00:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ravster: yah it has to keep track of your packages | 00:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: it said 240gigs was to small? | 00:04 |
| Flannel | owen1_: So, if you don't want to wait, you could backport that for your own personal use | 00:04 |
| Flannel | !prevu | owen1_ | 00:04 |
| ubottu | owen1_: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 00:04 |
| lunatikk | hey guys, can anybody help me? i think i have a "little" graphic driver problem | 00:04 |
| Roxton | Question 2: Can I install Ubuntu in English and then switch to Spanish easily? Or would that involve uninstalling a lot of existing packages and installing Spanish-localized packages? | 00:05 |
| Cope57 | maybe I have been doing it all wrong then. I get my RPM's for my DebianBox at Freshrpms. I run .deb, .rpm, and source on my box. | 00:05 |
| owen1_ | Flannel: cool. should i use prevu? | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Roxton: don't hold me to it, ut i believe installing language packs, is pretty easy.. | 00:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ravster: even if you get an rpm and convert it with alien it would still keep track of it "but chances id you will also encounter many stupid errors" | 00:05 |
| ravster | Pirate_Hunter: I see, thanks | 00:05 |
| Pelo | is there a test I can run to check my /home partition, it seems that some folders got corrupted, tomboy goes to 100% cpu on boot without actruay starting and my wine apps are behaving oddly | 00:05 |
| UncontrolleD | IndyGunFreak: the first option says /dev/sdb1 43% (47.5 GB then the Ubuntu.8.4.1 says 57% 64.2 | 00:05 |
| Flannel | owen1_: I would. For something like that it should work without any catches as well (although I can't say for sure, can't see the depends at the moment) | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: type this w/o quotes.... "/join #indygunfreak".. i dont' want you gettign lost in the channel and making a mistake.. | 00:06 |
| Flannel | Pelo: sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot | 00:06 |
| owen1_ | Flannel: is there a site where i can see all this data as well? (what packages will be in the next ubuntu) | 00:06 |
| Pelo | Flannel, I booted the live cd and sid fsck /dev/sdb3 but it came back clean | 00:06 |
| Flannel | owen1_: packages.ubuntu.com but the searching functionality is broken at the moment. | 00:07 |
| unop | owen1, packages.ubuntu.com perhaps | 00:07 |
| zelrikriando | anyone running gnash here? | 00:07 |
| Pelo | Flannel, on that forcefsck , do I need to specify a partition of will it do all of them ? | 00:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Pelo: than it is clean there is nothing wrong whihc is a good thing | 00:07 |
| Roxton | Indy: Thanks. If I could abuse your intuition further, do you think I'd end up doing it for each package, or would it likely that the language-change would do a global update? (Was that vague, or what?) | 00:07 |
| owen1_ | Flannel: unop thanks | 00:07 |
| Flannel | Pelo: It'll do all of them (assuming they're all scheduled in fstab) | 00:07 |
| Pelo | Flannel, Pirate_Hunter thanks, rebooting | 00:07 |
| Cope57 | (06:07:16 PM) zelrikriando: anyone running gnash here? --- Not me, I am running swfdec | 00:08 |
| zelrikriando | Cope57, how did you install it? | 00:08 |
| Cope57 | no Adobe on my system. | 00:08 |
| UncontrolleD | i'm on the channel Indy | 00:08 |
| zelrikriando | Cope57, can you watch youtube fine? | 00:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Cope57: are you a bot? the next version AI? | 00:08 |
| Cope57 | aptitude install swfdec | 00:08 |
| Flannel | Cope57: You generally don't need to include the questions in your replies. Just their name suffices. | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | UncontrolleD: no, i think you typed it wrong.. because i'm there to, and you're not | 00:08 |
| Cope57 | I also have gnome-swfdec | 00:08 |

| Flannel | !checkinstall | ravster | 00:10 |
| ubottu | ravster: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 00:10 |

| owen1_ | Flannel: prevu needs at "least a few hundred megabytes of available storage under /var to function" is there a 'cheapest' way ? | 00:12 |
| Flannel | owen1_: You only need it while its building, you can remove it afterwards | 00:12 |
| Flannel | owen1_: (the space, and prevu too, for that matter) | 00:13 |
| zelrikriando | Cope57, I cannot find swfdec | 00:13 |

| lunatikk | kaminix: try winecfg | 00:13 |
| Flannel | owen1_: No, since the space it takes up won't be covered by package management. You'll just go in and remove the directory | 00:13 |
| kaminix | lunatikk: But any change of the C drive is inactivated :/ | 00:14 |

| shibz | I was looking at either smoothwall, shorewall, or ipcop | 00:30 |
| Guest23172 | iptables is a pretty good firewall for linux, but it is not very easy to use | 00:30 |
| Guest23172 | if you set it up to drop all incoming syn packets, it does a good job | 00:31 |
| shibz | yeah, I was looking for something a bit higher level than iptables | 00:31 |
| bobertdos | smelian: No, that means you mistyped or you asked him about something undefined. | 00:31 |
| catalepsic | is the firestarter front end any good? | 00:31 |
| Pelo | hmmmm | 00:31 |
| Guest23172 | shibz, what do you want to do? Why do you want a firewall | 00:31 |
| tonyhawz | something like apf for RHEL | 00:32 |
| Pelo | Flannel, Pirate_Hunter it seems to be limited to apps that I have automaticaly start on boot, gdesklets, wine, tomboy, I renamed the .tomboy and .gdesklets folder copied back specific files and now those work fine, attempting the same with wine , but I wonder what other apps might be affected | 00:32 |

| Leefmc | Question: Anyone know where the standard ImageMagick "library" is located? I need to give the path of the library to another program, but nothing im giving it works | 00:33 |
| shibz | I think I am just going to use iptables actually | 00:33 |
| arrrghhh | so can i figure out what this segfault relates to? | 00:33 |
| Slart | Leefmc: try whereis imagemagick or something like that | 00:33 |
| tonyhawz | Leefmc: do you need the binary path ? | 00:33 |
| Guest23172 | Hang on | 00:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Pelo: huh? if you got gdesklets starting on boot it might be that it hangs because it start is gnome, you may want to create a script that makes it start 15secs after you boot | 00:34 |
| Leefmc | Slart: I did "locate imagemagick" and found many results, but nothing i've tried has worked | 00:34 |
| tonyhawz | Leefmc: which convert | 00:34 |
| Leefmc | tonyhawz: No idea honestly, Im trying to get PythonMagickWand running | 00:34 |

| surger | Flannel | 00:35 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghh : is this on the live cd or when it is installed? | 00:35 |
| Slart | Leefmc: which program is it that wants to use imagemagick? | 00:35 |
| surger | those instructions on the links you gave me seem to be for an older version of Ubuntu | 00:35 |
| arrrghhh | Guest18683, i'm tryin to do a live install or an alternate install or a server install. | 00:35 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh : is it on the live cd or installed version? | 00:35 |
| keira-h | hi can anyone help me? I have a prob with my headphones not working in 7.10.... | 00:35 |
| Guest23172 | and they all do the same thing? | 00:35 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, i'm just tryin to install. this is on the alternate cd | 00:36 |
| Pelo | got wine fixed | 00:36 |
| Leefmc | Slart: Its a python interface to the ImageMagick API: PythonMagickWand | 00:36 |
| arrrghhh | the livecd install just kinda died | 00:36 |
| tonyhawz | Leefmc: you probably need the imagemagick-dev package | 00:36 |
| Guest23172 | are you able to get the CD booted and run lspci? | 00:36 |
| Leefmc | Slart: I need to convert raw's heh | 00:36 |
| Leefmc | tonyhawz: Good idea, thanks | 00:36 |
| Pelo | anyone know how to get rid of the gdesklets deamon icon in the notification area ? | 00:36 |
| === maha is now known as loley | ||
| tonyhawz | Leefmc: and libs will be at /usr/lib | 00:36 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, i can try | 00:36 |
| === loley is now known as maha | ||
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, i can do an lspci from my current prompt | 00:37 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghh This might be realted : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=848374 | 00:37 |
| surger | Theres no software preferences tab in the system<admin folder | 00:37 |
| arrrghhh | buncha VIA stuff | 00:37 |
| Leefmc | tonyhawz: Yea, i gave it that imagemagick location, we'll try the dev | 00:37 |
| Guest23172 | doh! | 00:37 |

| keira-h_ | hi can anyone help me? I have a prob with my headphones not working in 7.10.... | 00:37 |
| Slart | Leefmc: have you tried giving it the path of the binaries? | 00:37 |
| Leefmc | Slart: No, where would they be? | 00:38 |
| === yylex is now known as noni | ||
| Slart | Leefmc: /usr/bin/ | 00:38 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, lol i'm tryin to build a NAS too | 00:38 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh, are you running it in english or another language? | 00:38 |
| Leefmc | Slart: I looked there, i dont even recall seeing imagemagick | 00:38 |
| arrrghhh | english | 00:38 |
| Guest23172 | ok | 00:38 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: Is there a reason you can't upgrade to Hardy? | 00:38 |
| Slart | Leefmc: the individual binaries are there, convert, identify etc | 00:38 |
| tonyhawz | Leefmc: imagemagick is a group of binaries | 00:38 |
| Leefmc | Slart: So how would i give it a single ImageMagick path to the binaries? | 00:39 |
| keira-h_ | i can but headphones dont work on that either and 7.10 works better for my amilo | 00:39 |
| tonyhawz | Leefmc: run , which convert | 00:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bobertdos: prone to errors and missing files easier to do clean install and much more | 00:39 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh did you verify the ISO image before burning it? | 00:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bobertdos: biggest advantage youll spend less time here asking for help | 00:39 |
| arrrghhh | the system has passed rigorous memory tests and stability tests... | 00:39 |
| Slart | Leefmc: well.. I haven't tried this program you mentioned.. I suppose you had a way of supplying some kind of path.. or? | 00:40 |
| bobertdos | Why do people always talk to me when I don't adress them? | 00:40 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh : no, I mean did you test the ISO image before it was burnt?? | 00:40 |
| Leefmc | Slart: It takes a single environment variable | 00:40 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, well every disc i verified before burning and after, all pass. all discs are confirmed working on other machines. i even have an official ubuntu 8.04.1 disc from canocial. | 00:40 |
| * Pirate_Hunter going to get something to eat and drink | 00:40 | |
| Guest23172 | ok | 00:40 |
| * Pirate_Hunter wow past my bed time as well | 00:40 | |
| Leefmc | Slart: And technically its not a program, just a python interface to imagemagick | 00:40 |
| Guest23172 | I am not very good at this .... | 00:40 |
| dorito | I think I speak for everyone when I say that the sound on ubuntu is a piece of crap. | 00:40 |
| Guest23172 | well, it's gotta be a hardware issue | 00:40 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, lol neither am i so i came here. | 00:41 |
| Guest23172 | and hardware that can easily be pulled out? | 00:41 |
| Pelo | Pirate_Hunter, eat drink and sleep is that all you think about ? | 00:41 |
| arrrghhh | yea i was hoping to narrow down hardware. the only thing that's installed is the optical drive, 1 hard drive. | 00:41 |
| bobertdos | Which channel is generally used for Arabic? | 00:41 |
| arrrghhh | everything else is on the mobo | 00:41 |
| Slart | Leefmc: have you tried setting that enviroment variable to /usr/bin | 00:41 |
| Guest23172 | motherboard, CPU, memory, hd and cd ? | 00:41 |
| Guest23172 | ok | 00:41 |
| surger | Flannel: are you still there? | 00:41 |
| Flannel | surger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu The graphics/names are a little different, but the process is the same | 00:41 |
| Leefmc | Slart: No | 00:41 |
| keira-h | ? | 00:41 |
| Leefmc | Slart: I'll try | 00:41 |
| surger | Flannel: I think I got it | 00:41 |
| Slart | Leefmc: and have you checked that the programmer hasn't designed it for windows | 00:41 |
| Guest23172 | So the video card is sharing memory? | 00:41 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, i have 2 sticks of memory and i've tried it with either and both, same. yes vid card is VIA. sharing memory. | 00:42 |
| Leefmc | Slart: Multi os | 00:42 |
| surger | I did the check box to turn on (universe) | 00:42 |
| Guest23172 | ok | 00:42 |
| Leefmc | Slart: Heh, the older version of it is in the ubuntu repo :p | 00:42 |
| keira-h | bobertdos, if i upgrade is that better a | 00:42 |
| keira-h | ? | 00:42 |
| surger | Flannel: whats the command for the apt-get update? | 00:42 |
| Slart | Leefmc: hmm.. it ought to work then | 00:42 |
| jacoblyles | Anyone here have a Lenovo Thinkpad? | 00:42 |
| Leefmc | Slart: He stopped supporting PythonMagick (or something) and made PythonMagickWand | 00:42 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: Clean installs generally work better than upgrades. | 00:42 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh I previously had some stability issues with a video card and shared memory, and it helped to change the amount of memory the video card was using | 00:43 |
| Flannel | surger: sudo apt-get update | 00:43 |
| jacoblyles | Are the screens on the Lenovo Thinkpads matte or glossy? Do they work well with Ubuntu | 00:43 |
| bobertdos | !arabic > smelian | 00:43 |
| ubottu | smelian, please see my private message | 00:43 |
| arrrghhh | Guest23172, hrm... i think it's set to 32 or something really low. do you suggest lower? | 00:43 |
| keira-h | can you help me get my headphones working, or recommend me somewhere to start looking bobertdos? | 00:43 |
| Flannel | jacoblyles: I believe they're matte, and they do. | 00:44 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh, I would suggest that you post a message in the ubuntu forums because you'll get better help. | 00:44 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: I can try. | 00:44 |
| surger | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38348/ | 00:44 |
| surger | theres the new bin | 00:44 |
| keira-h | ty... | 00:44 |
| arrrghhh | hrm okie | 00:44 |
| arrrghhh | thanks | 00:44 |
| Guest23172 | arrrghhh maybe try a different setting, but I would recommend posting in the forums | 00:44 |
| surger | did I do it right? | 00:44 |
| keira-h | what can i do? | 00:44 |
| arrrghhh | ok | 00:44 |
| Leefmc | Slart: Hmm, his docs dont seem to mention the dev version though | 00:44 |
| Guest23172 | I doubt anyone in here will be able to help you with this | 00:44 |
| Leefmc | http://public.procoders.net/PythonMagickWand/docs/html/index.html | 00:44 |
| Leefmc | Slart: And no, /usr/bin didnt work | 00:44 |
| ASrock | i installed ubuntu on my flash drive...can i put the installer on it so if i plug it into a computer that doesnt have it i can install from my flash drive? | 00:44 |
| keira-h | i have a his comming from the headphones so that is something | 00:44 |
| Flannel | surger: Yep, you have universe enabled, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager should work now | 00:44 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: Well first, describe the problem. | 00:45 |
| keira-h | i mean hiss | 00:45 |
| jacoblyles | Flannel: Thanks, I think I'm buying a Lenovo today. I spent days looking for a laptop that works with Ubuntu and has a matte screen. Things were simple before Dell went all-glossy. | 00:45 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: You might want to run alsamixer from the terminal to check the volume levels. | 00:45 |
| surger | Flannel: Sweet! THANKS! It worked | 00:45 |
| Leefmc | Slart: Ugh, wish converting RAW images in python wasn't this hard :/ | 00:46 |
| keira-h | well i have an amilo L7320 laptop and basically everything works except the headphone which when i plug in, the sound in the main speakers stops but there is no sound comming out of the headphones.... | 00:46 |
| surger | Flannel: What do I do now that its installed? | 00:46 |
| keira-h | i already have done alsa mixer bobertdos | 00:46 |
| Slart | Leefmc: mm, I've been googling a bit but I haven't found anything really useful | 00:46 |
| dlublink | hello world | 00:46 |
| keira-h | is there a tick somewhere that maybe i need to tick, other than alsamixer | 00:47 |
| Leefmc | Slart: I've been stuck here for hours heh :/ | 00:47 |
| Flannel | surger: Go use it. Its under preferences. | 00:47 |
| Leefmc | Slart: PythonMagick "works", but i have yet to make it successfully open a RAW file, though i could be doing it wrong. I'd never know, because there seem to be no docs.. | 00:47 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: and the volume levels were okay? | 00:47 |
| surger | Flannel: Found it thanks! | 00:47 |
| keira-h | yes totally | 00:47 |
| keira-h | and like i say there is a hiss comming out of the headphones, so... they are connected in someway, just no sound | 00:48 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: Have you tested them with System->Preferences->Sound? | 00:48 |
| keira-h | no...i'll do that now.... | 00:49 |
| bobertdos | keira-h_: Do they work in a Windows system? | 00:49 |
| keira-h | yes totally | 00:49 |
| Slart | Leefmc: sigh.. nothing.. just weird german pages.. I'm giving up and going to bed instead | 00:49 |
| Slart | Leefmc: hope you can get it to work | 00:49 |
| Leefmc | Slart: haha, k, thanks for trying | 00:49 |
| Leefmc | Slart: Heh, me too | 00:50 |
| keira-h | and they did once work on ubuntu but i reinstalled ubuntu and then they stopped | 00:50 |
| bobertdos | okay, well I have to go unfortunately, really though, go to Hardy (from CD, don't try a direct upgrade) | 00:50 |
| vilhelm | Hello! I have a problem with my harddisks they "dissapear" from Media Dolphin and with a reboot they are back ;/ anyone know why? | 00:50 |

| Khamael | IndyGunFreak: what filemanager is it? | 01:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Khamael: its gnome, the toolbar at the bottom is awn | 01:07 |
| anto9us | Sitherae, only time I've had to do that is after restoring /home directories, did you copy it from an old account maybe? | 01:07 |
| Sitherae | anto9us: nope | 01:07 |
| Kaketyv | can some 1 help me? | 01:07 |
| Khamael | IndyGunFreak: so the window named example window is nautilus? | 01:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kaketyv: the bottom toolbar is AWN... then you just have to find out what theme he used. | 01:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Khamael: looks like it. | 01:08 |
| Kaketyv | AWN? | 01:08 |
| Flannel | !awn | Kaketyv | 01:08 |

| IndyGunFreak | Khamael: see above also. | 01:09 |
| surger | okay back | 01:10 |
| AzizLight | Kaketyv: the picture is called ubuntu mockup, it's a mockup, maybe there isnt a theme that is like that and you can't get that desktop unless you created...just a thought | 01:10 |
| surger | I ended up just rebooting | 01:10 |
| surger | so how do I get this compiz to start working? | 01:10 |
| citizen42alpha | hiho merry folks. | 01:11 |
| Kaketyv | ok | 01:11 |
| surger | Can anyone help me with getting compiz to work? | 01:12 |
| jmdc | !ask | 01:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | surger: do you have your graphics driver. | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 01:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | installed | 01:12 |
| surger | yeah | 01:13 |
| surger | its just an ATI thats built into the mother board | 01:13 |
| winrid | download envyng (google it) and try that | 01:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | winrid: envy is bad advice. | 01:13 |
| winrid | then download simple compiz manager from syaptic | 01:13 |
| winrid | why? worked on all other pcs | 01:14 |
| winrid | i never used ati though | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | winrid: you've clearly not been here very long... envy has caused a lot of problems | 01:14 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: how is envy bad advice? | 01:14 |
| surger | why is it my graphics card not supporting the compiz | 01:14 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: envyng is actually encouraged by ubuntu | 01:14 |
| SNuxoll | !envyng | 01:14 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | SNuxoll: have you saw the problems envy has caused? | 01:14 |
| winrid | you need the right driver conig | 01:14 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: see the above factoid | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | i did.. did you? | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | look at the end | 01:14 |
| super-6-1 | I have a old laptop adn was wondering if i could install ubuntu MID on it | 01:15 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: envyng is in the repo's | 01:15 |
| surger | dang | 01:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | SNuxoll: i'm well aware of that. | 01:15 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: I don't see how it's therefore 'bad advice' | 01:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | it can have various results from works, to fails!! | 01:15 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: obviously it has a chance of breakage, but it doesn't pull stunts that automatix did | 01:15 |
| SNuxoll | IndyGunFreak: it doesn't break upgrades, and it's easy to fix | 01:15 |
| winrid | http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A | 01:15 |
| winrid | 01:15 | |
| winrid | install the .deb package then launch envy: system tools: envyNG. nvidia>auto hardware detection>apply>get some coffee. | 01:15 |
| winrid | 01:15 | |
| winrid | then restart. | 01:15 |
| FloodBot1 | winrid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:15 |

| piko_water | hello | 01:19 |
| surger | SNuxoll: whenever I join a channel I like to see whose in it I guess | 01:19 |
| piko_water | i have .mkv format video trying to play but no sound and no pic | 01:19 |
| surger | I dunno | 01:19 |
| surger | Is there a way though? | 01:19 |
| piko_water | does anybody know which player to play with .mkv | 01:19 |
| jmdc | thanks Pici | 01:20 |
| SNuxoll | surger: I dunno, I use irssi and it prints a list of names in the channel on join | 01:20 |
| carandraug | piko_water: I use mplayer to see mkv files | 01:20 |
| SNuxoll | surger: xchat should have a nicklist by default though iirc | 01:20 |
| oasisfai | q | 01:20 |
| SNuxoll | surger: unless you are using xchat-gnome, which is far different from vanilla xchat | 01:21 |
| piko_water | carandraug, well its giving me error when i am tryiing to open with mplayer | 01:21 |
| vpx- | citizen42alpha: which iso am i supposed to get? | 01:21 |

| tacosteve | surger, soemtimes my nicklist gets squished and i have to drag it back towards the chan to get it to show, its on the right side of xchat | 01:21 |
| carandraug | piko_water: what's the error? | 01:21 |
| broken_ | SNuxoll: thanks that worked, I wonder why the others didn't. :/ | 01:21 |
| SNuxoll | surger: ahh, xchat-gnome doesn't have a nicklist, instead it has this funky dropdown thing, there should be your nick next to the text-entry, it's actually a button | 01:22 |
| surger | tacosteve: no its no there, how do u bring it up? | 01:22 |
| SNuxoll | surger: click it and a list of nicks will pop up | 01:22 |

| box | is it possible to create/run a complete ubuntu 8.04 o/s on a usb flash drive ? | 01:23 |
| surger | SNuxoll: is Irssi cooler? | 01:23 |
| SNuxoll | box: yes, though it wouldn't be easy | 01:23 |
| alistair_ | Help: anyone have trouble with Brasero eg causes lockups or just sits there 'getting size' ???? | 01:24 |
| SNuxoll | surger: dunno about 'cooler', I think it has better functionality myself, though it's not for everyone if you *MUST* have pointy-clicky gui silliness | 01:24 |
| box | SNuxoll :: well as long as your system has capability to boot from usb device should work somewhat simple ?? | 01:24 |
| surger | SNuxoll: I'm new to linux so I probably should stick with this for awhile til I get the hang of this, haha | 01:24 |
| SNuxoll | box: yeah, though don't ask me to find a guide or anything | 01:25 |
| Odd-rationale | box: well, if you have a <4gb drive, it should simple... | 01:25 |
| carandraug | piko_water:if you can play with other software, that means the problem's not in the file. But mplayer shouldn't give a problem. I use that a format almost all days and never had a problem. Have you ever managed to see a mkv file in mplayer before? | 01:25 |
| surger | SNuxoll: Back to compiz, I have it all installed. But nothing seems to have changed graphics wise. What do I need to do? | 01:25 |
| Odd-rationale | i mean > 4gb... | 01:25 |

| SNuxoll | surger: you need to enable it, you can do this with system->preferences->appearance->desktop effects | 01:26 |
| c0mpub0mb | how do to change in what order the uid/gid on a system from 1001 to 1000 without ruining your system ? I'm using gnome on ubuntu so, i've tried this before, but failed miserably and had to make a new user account because of it in the past. | 01:26 |

| c0mpub0mb | i need to do this because a share on my nfs uses another username/id and i don't want to do all kinds of configuration to make it work. | 01:26 |
| kapu | thanks very are to you who answer :-) | 01:27 |
| c0mpub0mb | i think you can map users on nfs but i wouldn't know how to go about doing that. | 01:27 |
| piko_water | carandraug, or you can tell me to convert mkv into some other format like .iso or something else that will be great | 01:27 |
| piko_water | is it possible to convert mkv into iso | 01:27 |
| surger | SNuxoll: you mean visual effects? Switch from 'None" to 'Extra' ? | 01:28 |
| SNuxoll | surger: yup | 01:28 |
| surger | SNuxoll: It says the composite is not available and now its frozen again | 01:28 |
| hwilde | kapu, did you search for this at all? http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2228 | 01:28 |
| SNuxoll | surger: your video driver doesn't support compositing then, and as such you can't run compiz | 01:29 |
| haostun | hi | 01:29 |
| surger | NOOO! | 01:29 |

| === afallenhope is now known as InvisibleHeero | ||

| hwilde | HAL9000, yep | 01:44 |
| HAL9000 | Thanks ! | 01:44 |
| carandraug | piko_water: I believe I know what the problem is. I think it has to do with the drivers you are choosing to play. The smplayer skin allows you to change them easily (otherwise you'll have ti use the command line), that's the reason I'm asking you to install it to | 01:44 |
| _schism_ | nandus_ is it a native instal or wubi? I have wubi and its the opposite in my instal | 01:44 |

| _schism_ | nandus_: I think it may be a driver issue, my w/l card works stronger under ubuntu than under windoze but I am a noob so I am not sure | 01:45 |
| oasisfai | I want the eth1 be the primary network interface. | 01:46 |
| Nandus_ | _schism_ I also wonder if it's something around drivers; under windows I got to install the manufacturer's drivers and under ubuntu I'm using ALSA... It might have something to do with that, but regretably I couldn't find Asus support for Linux in this area (my MB is ASUS) | 01:47 |

| user01 | when i login to ubuntu, is that gdm? | 02:04 |
| crashsystems | @user01 yes | 02:04 |
| crashsystems | @user01 or rather, gdm is the login manager | 02:05 |
| carandraug | R_YoYo_R: yeah. All that compiling can be quite tiresome | 02:05 |
| user01 | crashsystems, so i can change the login screen with gdm themes? | 02:05 |
| crashsystems | @user01 yes you can | 02:05 |

| Stepa1 | I am trying to launch Opera, but am getting nothing. It is shown in the processes list as running, but it is not. I recently used fsck to recover my system, so i dont know if that had anything to do with it. | 02:07 |
| alistair | carandraug, currently its saying writing files to DVD | 02:07 |
| Stepa1 | Mozilla is running fine. | 02:07 |
| histo | Anyone know why remote desktop would be so slow over my own lan? | 02:07 |
| user01 | crashsystems, thought it was under appearances but dont see anything for the login screen | 02:07 |
| shiloh7 | histo, using ssh X-? | 02:08 |
| kriel | So, in the past, I've had apt have a problem and lock up if it only half-downloads a package. So, I removed the entire /var/cache/apt directory to try and clear out apt's cache, hoping it would rebuild. ... it apparently didn't. | 02:08 |
| alistair | carandraug, now its come up with a write error. It actually seems that it cannot write to DVD without using a utility like Brasero or similar? | 02:08 |
| histo | shiloh7: Nah I used whatever system > preferences > remote desktop enables | 02:08 |
| [Luc1fer] | j1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38367/ | 02:08 |

| charsets | PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT ubuntu | 02:09 |
| ventus_ignis | I'm having issues getting the sound to work in zsnes and switching the sdl sound libraries isn't helping. | 02:09 |
| charsets | what a lackluster halfassed OS | 02:09 |
| alistair | carandraug, yea, Ive done that, but the stupid this is that it seems you can drag and drop files using Konqueror but it actually does not work that way. | 02:09 |
| j1 | Luc1fer: if i recall correctly hardware starts from 0 so u have two cpus :) | 02:09 |
| histo | charsets: yeap thats why we all use it. | 02:09 |
| charsets | dispicable | 02:10 |
| alistair | carandraug, eg If I drop the files they appear on the DVD directory immediately with a [burn file] button on the screen | 02:10 |
| charsets | ITS ALL ABOUT WINDOWS | 02:10 |
| R_YoYo_R | charsets, ? | 02:10 |
| shiloh7 | charsets, then your confused, fill out the paperwork for the refund, and go back to M$ | 02:10 |
| R_YoYo_R | charsets, so go use it | 02:10 |
| j1 | or maybe dual core :) | 02:10 |
| charsets | NO | 02:10 |
| charsets | it gives me errors randomly | 02:10 |
| carandraug | alistair: I don't use KDE. Why don't you use brasero's own interface? That's how I do it? | 02:10 |
| Stepa1 | I am trying to launch Opera, but am getting nothing. It is shown in the processes list as running, but it is not. I recently used fsck to recover my system, so i dont know if that had anything to do with it. Mozilla runs fine. | 02:10 |

| j1 | charsets needs to understand ..yes u..sorry ;) | 02:15 |
| alistair | carandraug, when I use brasero interface it just sits there creating a checksum till I reboot. | 02:15 |
| vilhelm | <uriens> you mean effects? | 02:15 |
| j1 | luc1fer: you should not need to do that anymore | 02:15 |
| j1 | it's auto | 02:15 |
| histo | Wow whats up with the servers? | 02:15 |
| j1 | unless you are runnign an older kernel | 02:15 |
| [Luc1fer] | j1: I need it because toshset requires the module loaded. | 02:15 |

| Tensei | carandraug: basically, currently my vista box has 2 partitions (500GB Sata drive) 250 for vista and 250 as just empty allocated space. I shrink that extra space to 100GB.. i load up ubuntu and go to manual partitioner to use my freed 100GB.. i tell it ext3 with a / mount-point.. it says I need a swap drive.. which I new, but I can only partion that 100GB once... if I partition less than 100GB, for example 3GB, for a swap drive, it m | 02:26 |
| Tensei | akes the other 97GB unusable... | 02:26 |

| linvx | i have ubuntu 8.04.1 | 02:26 |
| linvx | please | 02:26 |
| hwilde | Mecha25, disconnect the usb, reconnect, and pastebin like the bottom 20 lines | 02:26 |
| carandraug | jegan: you welcome. You can add a lot of things to the panels and even add other panels. | 02:27 |
| Tensei | hwilde: please read by above message to carandraug | 02:27 |

| Radux_ | I have a rather big problem. It seems sometimes when I boot my external esata drive is determined as sda1, and other times sdc1. could someone tell me where this is coming from? | 02:27 |
| hwilde | Tensei, create two partitions first and write it to the drive. then go back and set the 97G mountpoint to root and the 3G to swap | 02:27 |
| [Luc1fer] | j1: FATAL: Error inserting toshiba (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/char/toshiba.ko): No such device | 02:27 |

| hwilde | linvx, what kinda net, wep, wpa? | 02:28 |
| Mecha25 | hwilde: I can't. that's the thing, once it errors like this, nothing USB works until I reboot | 02:28 |
| a2z | i want to connect to a particular server and cannot connect to it from the past 1 day and the error i am getting is "Unable to connect (connection reset by peer)" I am able to connect to all other servers exce[t that but my friends are able to connect to that server please ghelp | 02:28 |
| hwilde | Mecha25, umm your keyboard and mouse stop working so you cant paste the log? /var/log/dmesg.0 | 02:28 |
| Tensei | hwilde: where do I create two partions, I shrunk the first 100GB in vista... | 02:28 |
| linvx | mmmm | 02:28 |
| linvx | pelo hwilde | 02:28 |
| hwilde | Tensei, you can do it in the livecd | 02:28 |
| Mecha25 | I'm on a laptop, yes my external mouse does stop working | 02:28 |
| Mecha25 | hwilde: I can paste the whole log, give me a second | 02:29 |

| linvx | ready but not connect | 02:29 |
| hwilde | Mecha25, break it, reboot, pastebin /var/log/dmesg & dmesg.0 | 02:29 |
| carandraug | Tensei: you need to set that partition as an extended (you can only have 4 primary partitions. This is not a Linux problem). I think that's the problem | 02:29 |
| j1 | Pelo: good ...some pc boxes are better than other ones .....if you want to just protect a little from dust you can leave the door out and use women stockings? | 02:29 |
| Tensei | hwilde: so in GPART i need to set up 2 partions out of that 100GB? | 02:29 |
| Mecha25 | http://paste2.org/p/61558 | 02:29 |

| Radux_ | db_ also a lot are easy to fix, especially if your dualbooting, there are a few common ones that only take a second | 02:51 |
| MDPauley | No wubi here, unetbootin. There is no OS on the machine and no CD drive | 02:51 |

| j1 | jnalli: why? | 03:09 |
| Sarthor | hwilde, Ok. let me try to explain, when i do the command "arp" So i see several hosts and also mac add. in front of them. i disconned 1 of my switch in the line, and about 13 computers gone off line, but in my arp i can see that still. i want to delete that hosts and see the live arp only. | 03:10 |
| carandraug | db_ : if some file from grub is missing, then you could just reinstall grub | 03:10 |

| Pelo | j1, still around ? | 03:10 |
| hwilde | Sarthor, you can try to install the package arptables | 03:10 |

| winrid | perillux; in metacity, just right click the app in the panel and click on top | 03:41 |
| perillux | winrid: but I want it on bottom lol | 03:41 |
| winrid | oh | 03:41 |
| alokito | winrid: he wants the window bottom | 03:41 |
| alokito | :P | 03:41 |
| perillux | winrid: I'm trying to make a terminal that's basically stuck to my wallpaper, for visual effect | 03:42 |
| winrid | perillux, there is no way to do that in gnome | 03:42 |
| carandraug | perillux: is it the terminal you want in the bottom? | 03:42 |
| carandraug | perillux: sorry, I've seen it is | 03:42 |
| speener | what the fuck | 03:42 |
| speener | it happened again | 03:42 |
| carandraug | perillux: theirs is a program that specifically does that. I'll take a look to see if I find it | 03:42 |
| liuxiang | what | 03:42 |
| perillux | carandraug: what do you mean? the terminal will start up when I log in, and I want it to stay behind other windows | 03:42 |

| Gaming4JC | hey all. I just installed FireFox3.0.1 from the repos and the FF window turns black and won't start? Same thing occurs when running from terminal but no information.... ?? | 03:43 |
| perillux | winrid: nah, gnome just has "always on top" | 03:43 |
| carandraug | perillux: yes. I've seen one of those things before. It even had transparency so you could see your background | 03:43 |
| winrid | ;perillux, im gonna start a chat with you to help, watch for notification | 03:43 |

| surger | I had to do this | 03:45 |
| surger | sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 03:45 |
| jtaji | Gaming4JC: you can mv .mozilla mozilla-temp, in fact reinstalling firefox will not affect any settings | 03:45 |

| surger | now I can play | 03:49 |
| surger | heh | 03:49 |
| NewBeauty | there some places where I want to tab to complete filename but because of some rules it wont work, but I dont want to get rid of it entirely just temporarily override it | 03:49 |

| surger | I feel so good that I got this to work, lol | 03:51 |
| winrid | command me if you dare lol | 03:51 |
| Gaming4JC | sarthor: Do you mean the SSH accepts your password and crashes? What program are you using to ssh?... | 03:51 |
| surger | winrid after you run the command | 03:51 |
| dumbdum | Ok thanks, how do i find and open it? | 03:51 |
| Mecha25 | hwilde: still having the USB problem | 03:51 |
| surger | you need to log out and then back in | 03:51 |
| perillux | carandraug: ya I saw that. But the first option (tilda) doesn't work right, the text gets messed up when I maximize/minimize windows. and the second option is probably my best bet. But the terminal doesn't go ALL the way down to the bottom of my screen. :( I made a 3rd option which looks good, but it doesn't stay behind other windows. Anyway, I'll probably just go with the second option (devilspie) in that link you sent. | 03:51 |
| sarthor | using ssh. Yes. | 03:51 |
| bastid_raZor | dumbdum; you know where it is.. in /etc .. use vim or gedit or nano.. | 03:52 |
| sarthor | Gaming4JC, ssh sarthor@192.168.0.100 .. it asks for password. after putting password.. noting happen | 03:52 |
| surger | winrid: let me know if that fixes your problem | 03:52 |
| Gaming4JC | sarthor: Can you try using FileZilla to SSH or another reliable ssh client? | 03:52 |
| dumbdum | no im sorry i dont know where it is or I wouldnt have asked!? | 03:53 |
| sarthor | Gaming4JC, i am new to linux. i never used that, if you can help then i will try. | 03:53 |
| sam62 | hey guys, I can't get ubuntu to boot correctly after install. I get several lines like *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK], but then nothing. | 03:53 |
| Mecha25 | Anybody know why doing intensive read/writes to a USB drive or USB external HD causes all USB support to stop working until a reboot? | 03:53 |
| bastid_raZor | dumbdum; /etc/resolv.conf is the file.. how else can it be explained. that is the location. | 03:53 |
| Gaming4JC | maybe that will help | 03:53 |
| sarthor | Gaming4JC, i tried several computer to ssh , but same on each computedr. | 03:53 |

| SebNaitsabes | dumbdum: in the file manager you can view show hidden files | 03:56 |
| sarthor | Gaming4JC, Should i wait for your reply?? | 03:57 |
| bastid_raZor | dumbdum; the file is not hidden. it is /etc/resolv.conf .. not /etc/resolve.conf | 03:57 |
| witriew | dumbdum: blue entries are directories, green are 'executable by you' files | 03:57 |
| Mecha25 | dumbdum: ls -a /etc | grep resolv.conf | 03:57 |

| Theo_ | hello | 03:58 |
| carandraug | perillux: I kept looking for it but I can't find it. I saw lots of people doing that kind of stuff but none using Gnome (at least that's what it seemed to me). Have you tried a gnome channel and ask it there? | 03:58 |
| kc8pxy | sarthor: what shell is set for your user on the server? | 03:58 |
| Sasuke-kun | damn | 03:59 |
| Theo_ | do I have to install ubuntu to make changes to xorg.conf take effect? | 03:59 |
| carandraug | perillux: on a second thought, maybe a metacity channel would be more adequate | 03:59 |
| Sasuke-kun | my system was been destroyed by a hacker. | 03:59 |
| witriew | Theo_: on a livecd? | 03:59 |
| perillux | carandraug: maybe I'll try later. It's ok, thanks for your help | 03:59 |
| Theo_ | yeah | 03:59 |
| sarthor | i am using gnome terminal . are you asking this??? | 03:59 |
| Sasuke-kun | how can i recover of my stuff? | 03:59 |
| Sasuke-kun | c/ | 03:59 |
| dumbdum | I put in the command as shown and it says resolv.cof and nothing else | 03:59 |
| myron | anyone have trouble with "sudo: unable to resolve host (hostname)" before? | 03:59 |
| winrid | sasuke-kun: sorry about that lol, just kidding | 03:59 |
| Mecha25 | dumbdum: then it's there | 03:59 |
| dumbdum | Sorry resolve.conf | 03:59 |
| squarebracket | is there a way to make ubuntu update automatically? i'm running what's essentially a server | 04:00 |
| sarthor | kc8pxy, i am using gnome terminal . are you asking this??? | 04:00 |
| dumbdum | Where | 04:00 |
| Mecha25 | dumbdum: try "gedit resolv.conf" | 04:00 |
| bullgard4 | ifconfig prints an ath0 and an wifi0 interface. What is the diference between them? | 04:00 |
| witriew | Theo_: you can just restart X, if you're modifying the Xorg.conf for the livecd itself | 04:00 |
| Gaming4JC | hmm I'm out for now... cya all and thnx | 04:00 |
| Gaming4JC | ;) | 04:00 |
| Mecha25 | dumbdum: or "gedit /etc/resolv.conf" | 04:00 |
| dumbdum | That opened an empty window | 04:00 |
| Theo_ | witriew: so you do alt+ctrl+bck? | 04:00 |
| witriew | Theo_: yeah, that should work to reload the xorg.conf | 04:00 |
| Theo_ | thanks | 04:00 |
| Mecha25 | dumbdum: then try "gedit /etc/resolve.conf" the e might or might not be there | 04:01 |
| witriew | there shouldn't be an e in resolv.conf afair | 04:01 |
| perillux | carandraug: I got it. I just had to switch to Compiz, and then I enabled "window rules" and in the "below" section I added "gnome-terminal" :) | 04:01 |
| witriew | *a trailing 'e' | 04:01 |
| winrid | good going perillux | 04:01 |
| carandraug | perillux: nice go | 04:02 |
| Mecha25 | witriew: maybe that's dumbdum's problem in the first place? I don't know what he's after, but it involves editing resolv.conf or resolve.conf, whatever that is | 04:02 |
| dumbdum | "gedit /etc/resolv.conf" opens an empty window. | 04:02 |

| alokito | hmm | 04:04 |
| arrrghhh | Mecha25, i'm building an NAS device, and it's not extremely new... it's a VIA board with everything onboard | 04:04 |

| Tensei | hwilde: glad your still here, are you awake? | 04:05 |
| winrid | im using xbuntu | 04:05 |
| perillux | carandraug: winrid: even better, since I use alltray, I set it to if it has (AllTray) in the title. That way, other terminal windows can still go on top, but my background terminal won't | 04:05 |
| Mecha25 | arrrghhh: well, if ubuntu is erroring during the install process, it might mean the board can't handle it. did you try using the Alternate Install disk? | 04:05 |
| arrrghhh | Mecha25, i used this exact same hardware (minus the hard drives) with xubuntu just fine (although i had to use the alternate installer.) | 04:05 |
| [Luc1fer] | winrid: so remove java and reinstall... whats wrong with the java-sun-jre? | 04:05 |
| winrid | perillux, good | 04:05 |

| arrrghhh | Mecha25, well i started with ubuntu before and installed xubuntu-desktop for a lighter desktop. gnome was chugging just fine on this box. however this was before hardy... i'm wondering if i should try to get a 7.10 alternate disc or something... | 04:06 |
| Mecha25 | tensei: you need to change your windows boot loaders, use EasyBCD | 04:06 |
| winrid | sam62; thats a graphics driver problem, boot into safe mode and fix x server | 04:07 |
| Tensei | mecha25: is that opensource? | 04:07 |
| Flannel | !grub | Tensei | 04:07 |
| ubottu | Tensei: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:07 |
| Mecha25 | tensei: you can add an ubuntu entry, and point it to the ubuntu partition, worked like a charm for me. Not sure, but it's way way simple | 04:07 |
| sam62 | what can I do if fixing the X server does not work? | 04:07 |
| Pelo | Flannel, did you guys ever figure what that pm spammer thing was about ? | 04:07 |

| hellcattrav | I tried chmod -R a+r Music | 04:08 |

| Mecha25 | arrrghhh: that might work... or you could try xubuntu, if you're doing a NAS device, fancy desktop shouldn't be an issue, am I right? | 04:08 |
| zeus_ | How can I use tor in the ubuntu network settings? | 04:09 |
| perillux | Is it possible to run a command in the terminal so that it's not dependent on the terminal? For example: so I could run "gedit" and then close the terminal without gedit closing too. | 04:09 |
| hellcattrav | when I did ls -l on my home directory I get this: drw-r--r-- 3 virginiatiger virginiatiger 4096 2008-08-17 22:38 Music | 04:09 |

| perillux | that doesn't work guys, try it. if u close the terminal the program closes too | 04:10 |
| Mecha25 | arrrghhh: good luck | 04:10 |
| myron | I have checked /etc/hosts and it matches my hostname I can still use all sudo functions and update / install new apps | 04:10 |
| [Luc1fer] | the ampersand forks it too the background. | 04:10 |
| arrrghhh | haha thanks, i'm gonna need it. | 04:10 |
| carandraug | perillux: for example, gedit /path_to_file & | 04:10 |
| winrid | im getting spammed by some gay guy. . . ON UBUNTU FORUMS!! WHAT THE HELL?? | 04:10 |
| myron | its just annoying for that to be there, when I know something is wrong | 04:10 |
| arrrghhh | i'm gonna try to boot it from a usb key and see if that works... | 04:10 |
| hellcattrav | perillux, did you put a space? | 04:10 |
| Mecha25 | Tensei: it has a help file, it runs in windows, I got it to work first try without knowing anything about bootloaders | 04:10 |
| Tensei | hwilde: i installed grub on the partition that I installed ubuntu on ... it does show on boot, mecha25 told me to use easybcd.. good option? | 04:10 |
| perillux | hellcattrav: carandraug: [Luc1fer]: that doesn't work. it still closes the program if u close the terminal | 04:10 |
| biocontrol | hello, i'm at the command line where you start when you first boot up. how do you log in or get to the GUI? | 04:10 |
| hellcattrav | Huh | 04:10 |
| perillux | hellcattrav: either way | 04:10 |
| hwilde | Tensei, what is the prob? | 04:10 |
| hellcattrav | mmhmm | 04:11 |
| [Luc1fer] | perillux: with that command it tells me the PID | 04:11 |
| Nixk490 | When i change my screen resolution all i get is flashing bars and then ubuntu restarts | 04:11 |
| [Luc1fer] | perillux: it works just fine. | 04:11 |
| carandraug | winrid: the same occurred to me. | 04:11 |
| winrid | haha | 04:11 |
| hwilde | Tensei, you mean grub does not show ? | 04:11 |
| biocontrol | hello, i'm at the command line where you start when you first boot up. how do you log in or get to the GUI? | 04:11 |
| perillux | [Luc1fer]: ya, me too, but try it. do "gedit &" then close the terminal and you will see that gedit closes too | 04:11 |
| Mecha25 | biocontrol: the GUI should have started automatically.... are you seeing someting called (initramfs)? | 04:11 |
| winrid | biocontrol; type sudo startx, or sudo gdm | 04:11 |
| biocontrol | yes | 04:11 |
| Nixk490 | When i change my screen resolution all i get is flashing bars and then ubuntu restarts | 04:12 |
| Tensei | hwilde: exactly.. when I boot it goes straight to vista.. it's an acer box so it has it's little intro deal but then micro.. when iw as installing ubuntu i told GRUB to install to the partition instead of HD0, i think thats why | 04:12 |
| Mecha25 | biocontrol: that's a bug, try rebooting. did you install using Wubi? | 04:12 |
| [Luc1fer] | perillux: I just did | 04:12 |
| [Luc1fer] | perillux: it works | 04:12 |
| alokito | Nixk490: which graphics card u use? | 04:12 |
| Mecha25 | Tensei: you did it right, you need to edit your windows bootloaders to see Ubuntu and the Grub bootloader in its partition | 04:12 |
| [Luc1fer] | perillux: twice. | 04:12 |
| hwilde | Tensei, yeah you gotta put grub in your mbr | 04:12 |

| hellcattrav | Ok | 04:18 |
| hellcattrav | also in filebrowser, Music is shown as empty | 04:18 |
| Mecha25 | vnix: unlock everything, move it how you want it, then lock it all again. What's happening is icons are pushing each other for position, and a different one wins each boot | 04:19 |
| hellcattrav | belay that | 04:19 |
| witriew | hellcattrav: can you `du -sh' on the directory? | 04:19 |
| hellcattrav | whats it do? | 04:19 |

| hellcattrav | Ok.. | 04:20 |
| ifchaos | SNuxoll, ?????? | 04:20 |
| SNuxoll | ifchaos: install libexpat1 and it should work | 04:20 |
| Mecha25 | vnix: that happens, just re-position the stuff that is next to that icon, it shouldn't happen again | 04:20 |
| witriew | hellcattrav: does `du -sh' return any sort of good number on your Music directory? | 04:20 |
| hellcattrav | witriew, du -sh returned 38M /home/virginiatiger Music | 04:20 |

| witriew | hellcattrav: are you trying to use mpc to play your music? | 04:23 |
| hellcattrav | Well Sonata actually..but I guess it all goes through MPC? | 04:23 |
| hellcattrav | I just really want a winamp 5.x clone | 04:23 |
| G3N0 | karuna_bdc: evertime i do that it gives me E: Coudln't find package VLC | 04:23 |
| ifchaos | SNuxoll, libexpat1 & libexpat1-dev --> installed version : 2.0.1 -->> installed | 04:23 |
| R_YoYo_R | sweetgum, how are you installing? | 04:23 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: try Quod Libet | 04:23 |
| carandraug | [Luc1fer]: I believe you. I even get the PID when I do it and get the terminal ready for a new command. But if I close the terminal window, gedit closes | 04:23 |
| G3N0 | karuna_bdc: and for every other piece of software | 04:23 |
| SNuxoll | G3N0: you should just be able to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and play it | 04:23 |
| sam62 | Hey guys, my video card is not working with uuntu. It crashes the bootup sequence. | 04:23 |
| SNuxoll | ifchaos: you didn't need the -dev package | 04:23 |
| alokito | hellcattrav: try running winamp itself in wine | 04:23 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: and if that fails, the new version of Banshee is very very nice | 04:23 |
| G3N0 | gonna find out in a sec | 04:23 |
| hellcattrav | ie Winamp for windows, as it is now , not how it looks with audacious... | 04:24 |
| RequinB4 | hellcattrav: mpd ; mpc is the command line interface | 04:24 |
| karuna_bdc | G3N0: are your sources set up correctly? | 04:24 |
| sweetgum | R_YoYo_R: with a cd | 04:24 |
| alokito | but I prefer rhythmbox and amarok, they are way better | 04:24 |
| hellcattrav | RequinB4, Yer | 04:24 |
| G3N0 | karuna_bdc: i dont even know what that is :/ (linux nub) | 04:24 |
| hellcattrav | I mean I've ran mpc update | 04:24 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: you can't get winamp-level skinning in linux... believe me I've tried | 04:24 |
| Ahadiel | carandraug, Yeah, if you close the terminal all backgrounded programs close too. | 04:24 |
| R_YoYo_R | sweetgum, prob a bad cd | 04:24 |
| hellcattrav | Mecha? | 04:24 |
| witriew | hellcattrav: mpc update only affects mpc, not Sonata | 04:24 |
| Ahadiel | carandraug, Look into screen if you want something better. | 04:24 |
| hellcattrav | Yer | 04:24 |
| karuna_bdc | G3N0: go to system > administration > software sources | 04:24 |
| RequinB4 | hellcattrav: what are you trying to do | 04:24 |
| vnix | oh ya Mecha I still don't have software to open rar file. Plz recommend any to me by giving me the software name please? | 04:24 |
| lefnire | my server crashed from "out of memory"... is there a log somewhere that tells what process caused this? | 04:24 |
| [Luc1fer] | alokito: native apps are always gonna run better. | 04:24 |
| hellcattrav | but Sonata, the update library didnt work | 04:24 |
| sweetgum | R_YoYo_R: ill try downloading it again | 04:25 |
| Mecha25 | vnix: it's called "rar" | 04:25 |
| SNuxoll | hellcattrav: sonata is not a standalone music player | 04:25 |
| RequinB4 | hellcattrav: mpd --create-db? | 04:25 |
| SNuxoll | hellcattrav: it is a client to mpd | 04:25 |
| sweetgum | R_YoYo_R: have you experienced the error before | 04:25 |
| hellcattrav | Yer | 04:25 |
| karuna_bdc | G3N0: then check all the boxes | 04:25 |
| SNuxoll | hellcattrav: do you have mpd installed and properly configured? | 04:25 |
| R_YoYo_R | sweetgum, errors like it....usually bad media | 04:25 |
| vnix | just "rar" ?!? possible to search under add/remove? | 04:25 |
| ifchaos | SNuxoll, libexpat1-dev ->> uninstall .. | 04:25 |
| G3N0 | karuna_bdc: download from ? | 04:25 |

| karuna_bdc | G3N0: main server | 04:25 |
| SNuxoll | ifchaos: odd | 04:26 |
| [Luc1fer] | Ahadiel: why is it different on my machine, gedit & forks it to the background and supplies a PID, I then close it and gedit stays. | 04:26 |
| karuna_bdc | G3N0: or if your contry is listed, your country's server | 04:26 |

| hellcattrav | mpd I was doing... | 04:26 |
| hellcattrav | bloody ell | 04:27 |
| RequinB4 | hellcattrav: do sudo mpd --create-db | 04:27 |
| Mecha25 | vnix: I've never had to, I've been using this for months | 04:27 |
| RequinB4 | or mpc update | 04:27 |
| RequinB4 | one of them should work | 04:27 |
| hellcattrav | yer | 04:27 |
| Mecha25 | vnix: once you install that, double clicking rar files just works | 04:27 |
| hellcattrav | acutally no I was doing mpc earlier | 04:27 |
| [Luc1fer] | hmmm maybe I set something in .bashrc... | 04:27 |
| hellcattrav | but now it works | 04:27 |
| hellcattrav | the songs show up in the list | 04:27 |

| carandraug | [Luc1fer]: maybe. But in my other ubuntu box the & works as in yours computer. Maybe it's because in this one I'm using 7.10 | 04:28 |

| hwilde | tensei, swap can be extended | 04:37 |
| paradyne | Mecha25: wondering if you can help me with a hardware issue/install config | 04:37 |
| tensei | hwide: I figured that out :-) | 04:38 |
| Mecha25 | tensei: yeah, logical and extended partitions are weird | 04:38 |

| waey | i have tried to download that (compiz), i dont know how to use it be like 3D when i move my cursor? | 04:38 |
| RequinB4 | G3N0 -- what he said, i'm all for describing how bad vista is, but there's a place | 04:38 |
| alokito | waey: some effects of compiz is already installed in ubuntu | 04:39 |
| cwill747 | waey, did you configure it and make ubuntu use it? | 04:39 |
| tdseth | hello all. can someone tell me what is going on with my nas? as in why the network is not finding it. | 04:39 |
| alokito | you just need to enable driver | 04:39 |
| tdseth | it has found it in 7.10, but not in 8.04 | 04:39 |
| Pelo | paradyne, what's your issue ? | 04:39 |
| paradyne | Mecha25: post-reformat from WinXP, installed Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 710M. System runs for 15-20 minutes, then begins to spout "exception emask" errors. Googled, found that it is related to sata drives | 04:39 |
| waey | i dont know how to configure it? | 04:39 |
| waey | can u tell me how? | 04:39 |
| tdseth | ^^ | 04:39 |
| paradyne | however, afaik, older laptops are ide drives | 04:39 |
| paradyne | so... | 04:39 |
| alokito | install compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:39 |
| RyanPrior | tdseth: It would help to be very very specific about your problem. There are about a million things which could be going wrong with a NAS! | 04:39 |
| Mecha25 | paradyne: I'm no sata expert, how old is the laptop you're using? | 04:40 |
| tensei | mecha25: I put ubuntu on a box that i got as scrap cause XP was shot.. and I fell in love with the OS.. i found myself coming home and using that to work on instead of my new vista box.. I fixed the other one, and am getting ready to sell it, but didn't want to abandon ubuntu.. so dualboot it was | 04:40 |

| [Luc1fer] | err simple-ccsm | 04:40 |
| alokito | [Luc1fer]: thats too simple, don't like that :) | 04:41 |
| tensei | i don't suppose anyone can !me the ubuntu documentation on installing the website tree (php5,mySQL,apahce,phpmyadmin)?? | 04:41 |
| UncontrolleD | what's the main IM for ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| RyanPrior | linxuz3r: Remove the package, remove the infringing repository, then install the package again. | 04:41 |
| tdseth | RyanPrior, I was asking if here were any obvious issues. bassically, I was able to find my nas previously, when I upgraded to 8.04 with a fresh install, I can no longer have the NAS show up. | 04:41 |
| bobertdos | UncontrolleD: Pidgin | 04:41 |

| tdseth | Where there any known issues? | 04:41 |
| Mecha25 | paradyne: you can check if it's SATA or IDE, look at the connector for the drive. if it's got a bunch of holes (like 40 or so) it's IDE. if it's got a couple slots, then it's SATA | 04:41 |
| puff | I'm looking at this site with firefox and it pops up a new window with a flash video. However, this new window has no decorations, no menus, etc. How the heck do I kill it? | 04:41 |

| paradyne | Mecha25: hardware 101 :-) AFAIK, laptops from that era are only ide | 04:42 |
| UncontrolleD | nice | 04:42 |
| waey | in progressing of installing compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:42 |
| linxuz3r | RyanPrior: i removed the infringing repository but the package manager still show the latest package from the infringing repo | 04:42 |
| tensei | mecha25: it's nice, my wife can use the vista side, and I love the ubuntu 2 desktop feature.. makes working super easy | 04:42 |
| paradyne | Mecha25: ergo, is there an ide-specific install? | 04:42 |
| slightglitch | Uncontrolled: Yes, it's pretty multi versatile by way of IM software. | 04:42 |

| Mecha25 | paradine: not that I know of | 04:42 |
| hellcattrav | fileroller doesn't handle rar files? | 04:42 |

| puff | mark-china: /etc/apache2/sites-available | 04:43 |
| alokito | and try to enable extra effects from there | 04:43 |
| paradyne | tdseth: can you elaborate what you mean "cannot see the NAS"? | 04:43 |
| UncontrolleD | is it possible to download it directly thru terminal right? | 04:43 |
| puff | RyanPrior: Ah... I'd rather have a firefox preference that won't let people pop windows without decorators ;-). | 04:43 |
| paradyne | tdseth: like... can't ping it? can't mount it? | 04:43 |
| Mecha25 | paradynebedouwin: NO! | 04:43 |
| tensei | mecha25: yeah.. i figure once i get full up on the two i'll move to three :-) | 04:43 |
| tdseth | I open up network connections, and I go to workgroup. | 04:43 |
| Mecha25 | sorry, that wasn't for paradyne | 04:43 |
| [Luc1fer] | UncontrolleD: wget among others. | 04:43 |
| tdseth | er... | 04:43 |
| tensei | mecha25: time to put apahce and load all my website stuff off my jump drive | 04:43 |
| RyanPrior | puff: There's a setting for that, I'm pretty sure. | 04:43 |
| UncontrolleD | alrighty thank you | 04:43 |
| tdseth | places, network, windows network, workgrou | 04:43 |
| tdseth | workgroup | 04:43 |
| tdseth | and then it can't find it. | 04:43 |
| paradyne | tdseth: so trying to connect via samba | 04:44 |
| linxuz3r | RyanPrior: i removed the infringing repository but the package manager still show the latest package from the infringing repo | 04:44 |
| puff | mark-china: Edit your sites-available entry for your site, have "ServerName foo.com" on one line, next line "ServerAlias www.foo.com" | 04:44 |
| bobertdos | UncontrolleD: Unless you've customized the install, Pidgin should come preinstalled. | 04:44 |
| paradyne | tdseth: do you know the IP of the NAS? | 04:44 |
| Mecha25 | bedouwin: killing during an update can mess up your whole VM, I had to reinstall when it happened to me | 04:44 |
| puff | RyanPrior: Any idea what it's called? | 04:44 |
| paradyne | tdseth: first step would be to ping it | 04:44 |
| joker | Can some one tell me how do I tar xvfz Filename to go right to user/src and Im using root | 04:44 |
| tdseth | I unfortunately don't know the IP of the nas :-/. | 04:44 |
| paradyne | joker: man tar | 04:44 |
| joker | thanks brb | 04:44 |
| paradyne | tdseth: is the NAS located on your personal network? | 04:44 |
| Bhavesh | why would ubuntu server be able to boot after successful install on a 40G hdd? | 04:44 |
| mark-china | puff, where do i edit that? | 04:44 |
| RyanPrior | puff: maybe it's in a plugin. I know there are some advanced JavaScript control plugins which allow you to fine-tune that stuff more. | 04:45 |
| tdseth | paradyne, yup. | 04:45 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavash: I assume you mean "not" be able to boot | 04:45 |
| paradyne | tdseth: do you have access to your router? | 04:45 |
| tdseth | yup. | 04:45 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 thanks for correcting | 04:45 |
| paradyne | my first inclination would be to look at the DHCP clients on your router | 04:45 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: what happens when you try to boot it? | 04:45 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 it's been one of those days ( 2 weeks actually) | 04:45 |
| paradyne | tdseth: find the IP address there, then ping it | 04:45 |
| tdseth | I don't believe the linksys firmware will tell me who all is there. | 04:45 |
| paradyne | tdseth: it will | 04:45 |
| tdseth | er the dhcp connections* | 04:45 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 install goes fine, at the end it ejects the CD, and i reboot, and bios is not able to boot from it | 04:46 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: are you trying to dual boot? | 04:46 |
| paradyne | tdseth: under the admin tab, I believe | 04:46 |
| acp_ | !info samba | 04:46 |
| tdseth | where would I find that on the linksys firmware? I'm used to dd-wrt | 04:46 |
| ubottu | samba (source: samba): a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 (hardy), package size 3749 kB, installed size 9208 kB | 04:46 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 no.. this is strictly linux server, this is the 4th hdd i am trying to install ubuntu on while trying to trouble shoot other issues | 04:46 |
| mark-china | hi guys, where do i have to config that my website is reachable via http://www as well as just www. ???? | 04:46 |
| G3N0 | Hey how do I determine my chipset on my laptop? | 04:46 |
| mark-china | puff, where do i edit that? | 04:46 |
| bedouwin | ok, nm. i killed it and tried again, and this time it prompted me for the administrator password unlike last time :/ | 04:46 |
| paradyne | g3n0: open a terminal | 04:47 |
| paradyne | g3n0: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 04:47 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: then it's not the drive... is it a brand-new server? | 04:47 |
| linxuz3r | RyanPrior: thanks bro | 04:47 |
| === zfer4r5 is now known as JAJA110010101 | ||
| === ce-cantik_ is now known as booy | ||
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 well it's hardware i am putting together.. dual PIII , trying to setup a 'storage' server | 04:47 |
| RyanPrior | linxuz3r: Did you get it worked out? | 04:47 |
| bobertdos | G3N0: which chipset? Most things can be determined by the lspci command and/or dmesg | 04:47 |
| tdseth | paradyne, unforntunately that's not on here ;-/. | 04:47 |
| ozpowermo | Hi All, I'm having a bit of trouble determining how to install a driver for my Intel GM965/GL960 video card... I have ubuntu amd 64 8.04, could anybody help me please? | 04:47 |
| linxuz3r | RyanPrior: why do i have to remove the package to update the package list in the repository? | 04:47 |
| linxuz3r | RyanPrior: yes | 04:47 |
| G3N0 | paradyne: thanks | 04:47 |
| paradyne | tdseth: there should be a status... or an administration... | 04:48 |
| G3N0 | bobertdos: not sure I'm trying to figure out to see if my chipset is supported by aircrack | 04:48 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavsh: you have to make sure the BIOS recognizes the HDD as bootable | 04:48 |
| RyanPrior | linxuz3r: Because removing a repository doesn't down-grade packages. I don't really think there is any way to down-grade packages in the Debian system. | 04:48 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavsh: try looking in "Boot Order" or "boot options" in your bios settings | 04:48 |
| tdseth | there are both... neither will let you see the connections ;-/. | 04:48 |
| RyanPrior | linxuz3r: If there is, it's something weird and out of the way. | 04:48 |
| paradyne | tdseth: k... go back to the LAN tab then | 04:48 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 it's the first hdd in the sequence, and if i swap out hdd, with another one it boots just fine, but my original problem shows up .. long story | 04:48 |
| * paradyne thinks... | 04:48 | |
| acp_ | whats a good apps that could burn video in to dvd? | 04:48 |
| linxuz3r | RyanPrior: not downgrading but simply updating the list | 04:49 |
| Mecha25 | ozpowermo: you shouldn't need to install it, usually Intel drivers come pre installed | 04:49 |
| Tongue2008 | Quick question is it safe to install individual packages from newer distributions to older? For instance 8.04 package ot postgres to the 7.10 | 04:49 |
| acp_ | I looking at neo for linux is there other thats under gpl? | 04:49 |
| RyanPrior | acp_: Brasero - it comes with Ubuntu Hardy by default. | 04:49 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: did you make sure to install grub correctly? | 04:49 |
| phantomcircuit | Is there any way to recover if a program (say firefox running flash?) decides to use up all available system resources ? | 04:49 |
| paradyne | Does anyone know how to force ubuntu to install to an IDE chipset (rather than a SATA)? | 04:49 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: I checked the Systems->Hardware Drivers and the video card is not listed there | 04:49 |
| HUNTER | OLAS | 04:50 |
| tdseth | paradyne, there is no LAN tab. | 04:50 |
| RyanPrior | phantomcircuit: Magic SysRQ keys, ctrl+alt+backspace | 04:50 |
| Mecha25 | ozpowermo: then it's probably already installed and working | 04:50 |
| HUNTER | ALGUIEN ME PODRIA AYUDAR CON UBUNTU | 04:50 |
| RyanPrior | !es | HUNTER | 04:50 |
| ubottu | HUNTER: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 04:50 |
| phantomcircuit | RyanPrior, that kills the current session right? | 04:50 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 i manully tried to isntall it after the installation completed and hdd didn't boot, i am trying to follow some document on ubuntu's website let's see if it helps | 04:50 |
| RyanPrior | phantomcircuit: correct. | 04:50 |
| bobertdos | phantomcircuit: Recover as in kill the process? | 04:50 |
| acp_ | RyanPrior, I think it could not do a video (dat extension) to burn it to dvd? | 04:50 |
| phantomcircuit | recover as in kill the process | 04:50 |
| tdseth | just found it. | 04:50 |
| tdseth | sorry about that. | 04:51 |
| Tongue2008 | Is it safe to install individual packages from newer distributions to older? For instance 8.04 package ot postgres to the 7.10 | 04:51 |
| paradyne | tdseth: linksys wrt54g? | 04:51 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: the default install should install it, unless you tell it not to | 04:51 |
| tensei | can anyone direct me to the documentation that lets you set up localhost to look for other folders rather than /var/www ? or if this isn't the right place please direct me to the correct channel | 04:51 |
| paradyne | tdseth: k | 04:51 |
| tensei | I did it once but forgot how | 04:51 |
| HUNTER | OK | 04:51 |
| HUNTER | I NEED HELP FOR UBUNTU | 04:51 |
| blarg_ | is your caps key broken ? | 04:52 |
| Kagee | don't we all? | 04:52 |
| paradyne | tdseth: so, look through the different submenus until you find dhcp clients table | 04:52 |
| tdseth | paradyne, yup. | 04:52 |
| tdseth | found the thing. | 04:52 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: well, I'm not sure what's wrong then, the graphics are really not what I expect... I'm running at my screens native resolution, but I'm still seeing some pretty nasty edges... I tried changing the fonts, but no luck | 04:52 |
| Rhorse | hey everyone | 04:52 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 i know.. i have installed from same cd about 8 times so far, but so far two times, it would not install grub and i could not boot from it | 04:52 |
| slightglitch | Hunter: You'll get a better response with the caps lock off than on. | 04:52 |
| bobertdos | phantomcircuit: Well, there are lots of different terminal kill commands. I think killall firefox does the trick in most cases. Could somebody verify that for me, please? | 04:52 |
| paradyne | tdseth: great, now see if you can find the NAS ip in there | 04:52 |
| tensei | nevermind | 04:52 |
| G3N0 | crypto.h:12:26: error: openssl/hmac.h: No such file or directory | 04:52 |
| tensei | I found it again | 04:52 |
| phantomcircuit | bobertdos, lol i know that | 04:52 |
| paradyne | k | 04:52 |
| tdseth | found it. | 04:52 |
| Mecha25 | ozpwermo: try turning on font smoothing, under System, Preferences, Appearance | 04:52 |
| tdseth | I can ping it | 04:52 |
| Rhorse | bobertdos, the bin is firefox-bin | 04:52 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: corrupt CD? | 04:52 |
| phantomcircuit | but i cant get to a terminal if all system resources are used up now can i? | 04:52 |
| blarg_ | for some reason my compiler under ubuntu is broken when i try to gcc -o stuff it will not let me.,, | 04:53 |
| bobertdos | Rhorse: Yes, true | 04:53 |
| tdseth | hmm, I can connect to it with the ip. | 04:53 |
| G3N0 | When I go to make install I get this error: crypto.h:12:26: error: openssl/hmac.h: No such file or directory | 04:53 |
| G3N0 | crypto.h:13:25: error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory | 04:53 |
| G3N0 | crypto.h:15:25: error: openssl/rc4.h: No such file or directory | 04:53 |
| G3N0 | crypto.h:16:25: error: openssl/aes.h: No such file or directory | 04:53 |
| paradyne | tdseth: this is good. it means that the NAS hasn't died :-) | 04:53 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: it's already on, I guess only the larger letters fonts are kinda messed up... | 04:53 |
| jam3s2002 | I need some help installing the X-Fi drivers. Who has had some experience with that? | 04:54 |
| Mecha25 | ozpowermo: how large are they? | 04:54 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 nope.. i checked integrity.. and i already used the same cd a few times | 04:54 |
| bobertdos | blarg_: Do you get an error? | 04:54 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: you sure BIOS recognizes the drive? if so, then it's probably a broken drive, or you're installing it oddly | 04:54 |
| tdseth | :-P | 04:54 |
| tdseth | paradyne I knew it had not ;-) | 04:54 |
| slammed87d21 | does anyone know of any software to run a ps2 hard drive? | 04:54 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 yes bios recognizes, and i am able to partition and install the system without any issue.. it was running until a couple of months a go | 04:54 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: It's in some web sites, like youtube, when I start a full screen video and the time of the video is really not pretty | 04:55 |
| tdseth | now, how do I get to it without an ip? :-P | 04:55 |
| paradyne | tdseth: both in the "dropped connection" and "cratered sense" | 04:55 |
| paradyne | that is the question | 04:55 |
| Mecha25 | ozpowermo: that's Flash being crappy, not your video card. Flash is kinda proprietary, and proprietary software for linux tends to be less than spectacular | 04:55 |
| slammed87d21 | does anyone know of any software to run a ps2 hard drive? | 04:55 |
| paradyne | tdseth: one more question, were you able to connect to it before through the GUI? | 04:55 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: what happened a couple months ago | 04:55 |
| Mecha25 | Slammed: can you hook it up to your PC? | 04:56 |
| tdseth | yeah. | 04:56 |
| slightglitch | slammed87d21: I myself don't, but have a neighbor who is a PS2 geek who has stated there are a couple installs out there that can be used on PS2's. (I got a PS3 so never bothered to find out about it.) | 04:56 |
| tdseth | I was able to with 7.10 | 04:56 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 oh it was in another computer that i was using, and now i am trying to move it into this new machine i am buidling | 04:56 |
| paradyne | tdseth: but now you're on 8.04? | 04:56 |
| Bhavesh | sorry i did not mean to imply that it stopped working a couple of months a go | 04:56 |
| tdseth | paradyne, yup. | 04:56 |
| tdseth | thanks, btw. | 04:56 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Sup guys | 04:56 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: I'll have to live with it :) | 04:56 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: you get just a black screen when booting? | 04:56 |
| cwill747 | anybody have a good flash development IDE for linux? | 04:56 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | bhavesh, tried an external monitor? | 04:56 |
| paradyne | tdseth: have you tried restarting the smbclient service? | 04:57 |
| Mecha25 | ozpowermo: flash 10 will supposedly fix stuff, not sure | 04:57 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 i get bios message "no boot disk found please insert boot disk and press enter" | 04:57 |
| paradyne | tdseth: hmm | 04:57 |
| Mecha25 | cwill747: I don't think there's any Flash development software at all for linux | 04:57 |
| paradyne | there is no smbclient service here | 04:57 |
| tdseth | paradyne, how would I go about that? | 04:57 |
| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: that's a "you don't have grub" error | 04:57 |
| Bhavesh | azn_emo_boi101 nothing wrong with screen. just that grub won't install to boot after installation is finished | 04:57 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | bhavesh, it's looking for a live cd | 04:57 |
| tdseth | and btw, it's like this no matter how many times I restart. | 04:57 |
| cwill747 | Mecha25: yeah, i was afraid of that. i'm a web developer... trying to see if linux will work for me | 04:57 |
| Bhavesh | Mecha25 exactly, i am trying to figure out why is grub not installed | 04:57 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: if they have it working for 64 bit systems it would be GREAT! :) | 04:57 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | bhavesh, stick in an ubuntu live CD, and install grub | 04:58 |
| Mecha25 | cwill747: flash is proprietary, linux and proprietary don't get along well in general | 04:58 |
| ozpowermo | Mecha25: thanks tho! I appreciate your time and help :) | 04:58 |
| MEFISTO | OLA | 04:58 |

| Mecha25 | Bhavesh: not sure, I just installed as normal and it worked for me. | 04:58 |
| Mecha25 | ozpowermo: no problem | 04:58 |

| paradyne | cbk486: yeah, google "exception emask" | 04:59 |
| Bhavesh | azn_emo_boi101 i found the guide, i am trying to see if it works for me | 04:59 |
| paradyne | cbk486: it has something to do with ubuntu 8.04 installing to only sata drivers | 05:00 |
| paradyne | cbk486: if you do an lspci in a terminal window, you should see "IDE chipset" | 05:00 |
| paradyne | cbk486: so I'm working off the live CD until I can find a way to fix the install | 05:00 |

| bobertdos | dumbdum: Ah, so you need THAT fix first. Okay. Go to System->Administration->Network. Unlock it with your password and then go to the Hosts tab. | 05:06 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | It's not exactly general chat | 05:07 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Idk, just general talking | 05:07 |

| bobertdos | dumbdum: Now, a host named ubuntu1 with address 127.0.1.1 should be missing from the list, right? | 05:08 |
| dumbdum | Yes. Nothing there | 05:09 |
| dumbdum | There is a "ubuntu1" under the "general" tab | 05:09 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: Add a new host to the list with that alias and that address. | 05:09 |
| dumbdum | Sorry, do I use a capital? | 05:10 |
| scootley | locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory | 05:10 |

| chamunks | [Luc1fer], mmm ill poke around a bit more but theres not much that can go wrong with one connection. | 05:16 |
| Mecha25 | Dumbdum: it's supposed to do that, it's to keep people from seeing your password, it's simpler than putting in *s or dots | 05:17 |
| bobertdos | lol, I thought that was what was happening | 05:17 |
| cuil | I have a problem with my mplayer that I didn't play rmvb | 05:17 |
| tensei | mecha25: hey man I have a question. when I open up text editor it loads in all my workspaces.. even if i pull it to one, it's in all.. you run into this? | 05:17 |
| bobertdos | Pidgin crashed before I could make sure. | 05:17 |
| [Luc1fer] | chamunks: check the hardware. make sure its securely connected. | 05:17 |

| Bhavesh | Mecha25. actually i bee using debian for past 8 years.. something too perticular about my hardware setup that's causing different issues | 05:22 |
| arakthor_ | Does anyone know how to get manpages for GTK+ / OpenGL / GLUT ? | 05:22 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: Okay, but you're still probably going to have to use the terminal, I'm guessing. | 05:22 |
| dumbdum | Ok still says "unable to resolve host ubuntu1" | 05:22 |
| Bhavesh | [Luc1fer] well long story :), in short, install ubuntu-server on a newly build computer of old hardware , and dmraid is not working correctly | 05:23 |
| antbrown | Hi, is there anyway to get KNetworkManager to automatically activate the only Wired Network Interface available at login? (without having to click on it every time I login) | 05:23 |

| bobertdos | dumbdum: and you entered that new host into the list with ubuntu1 127.0.1.1? | 05:23 |
| hellcattrav | So does winamp run in wine? | 05:23 |

| hellcattrav | sorry moderin winamp...not the reason they cloned audacious | 05:24 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: yes.... but the media library wont's how up | 05:24 |
| arakthor_ | hellcattrav, I like amarok. there are other music players that people enjoy as well (with which I'm not familiar) | 05:24 |
| Bhavesh | owen1 one way to change is to use the display manager like windows and change it.. other is to configure it manually | 05:24 |
| hellcattrav | Mecha, oh bummer :( | 05:24 |
| bobertdos | hmm.......and what about locahost 127.0.0.1? | 05:25 |
| owen1_ | Bhavesh: is it in xorg.conf? | 05:25 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: Quod Libet does what Winamp does, but it's slow. I've been looking for a long time, that's the best I've found, other than the new Banshee, but that's not in ubuntu yet | 05:25 |
| [Luc1fer] | hellcattrav: you'd just be better of using something native, noatun, amorok, audacious... etc. etc. | 05:25 |
| hellcattrav | yer | 05:25 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: oh, and QuodLibet is amazing with tagging | 05:25 |
| Bhavesh | owen1 yes | 05:25 |

| masum | thanks a lot i'll be back | 05:28 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: PM me, I can tell you're getting confused. | 05:28 |
| eligos | I've a question | 05:29 |
| Mecha25 | rhorse: huh... same as me, wonder why mine's so slow | 05:29 |
| eligos | is it impossible to enable the cube desktop without an nvidia card?? | 05:29 |
| [Luc1fer] | eligos: as long as your hardware is fast enough yes | 05:29 |
| Mecha25 | eligos: you need some sort of graphics card, nVidia, ATI, or Intel | 05:29 |
| lostxion | or where i can read a forum on how to get a dvd to play on here | 05:29 |
| lostxion | new to ubuntu | 05:30 |
| [Luc1fer] | err no | 05:30 |
| eligos | what about my integrated video??? | 05:30 |
| PauloRicardo | Mecha25: oh no! np, thanks guy ;/ | 05:30 |
| [Luc1fer] | !dvd | lostxion | 05:30 |
| ubottu | lostxion: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 05:30 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, dunno. I like that it adds to your library cumulatively and ignores folders that arent mounted, and then uses them when it detects them | 05:30 |
| Mecha25 | PauloRicardo: good luck, you can always google for it | 05:30 |
| lostxion | thanx | 05:30 |
| surger | eligos: yes | 05:30 |
| eligos | its suppossed to be 256 mb | 05:30 |
| surger | I have an ATI | 05:30 |
| alokito | eligos: install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:30 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: when you sort your library, does it take a couple seconds for all the songs to be listed? | 05:30 |
| surger | pile of crap card built into the mother boad | 05:31 |
| alokito | you can find desktop cube there | 05:31 |
| masum | i find could not find package w3c | 05:31 |
| [Luc1fer] | eligos: why not try it and see :D | 05:31 |
| PauloRicardo | Mecha25: Yay, I'm googling, he he... | 05:31 |
| Mecha25 | eligos: works for me on something like that | 05:31 |
| alokito | if ur other compiz effects work, cube should work as well :) | 05:31 |
| vegombrei | hi .. i just downloaded vuze for linux .. its a tar.bz2 file .. how do i install it ? | 05:31 |
| surger | yeah I got mine to work | 05:31 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, sure, anytime the *whole* lib needs to be sorted, read, etc, it's a bit of a wait | 05:31 |
| eligos | I just did and when I tried to enable the desktop effects it said that they could not be enabled | 05:31 |
| dumbdum | sudo rm -ifo =rm: invalid option --0 | 05:31 |
| masum | arakthor_it says could not find package w3c | 05:31 |
| surger | it doesnt run super smooth since the card sucks | 05:31 |
| surger | but hey it works | 05:31 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: that's what I mean. Banshee doesn't have that wait, same situation | 05:31 |
| [Luc1fer] | vegombrei: uncompress it first. | 05:31 |
| hellcattrav | Mecha25, is Banshee good? | 05:32 |
| alokito | eligos: what's your mainboard model? | 05:32 |
| masum | arakthor_ it says could not find package w3c | 05:32 |
| dumbdum | Sorry everyone I lost my internet connection!! | 05:32 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: ONLY the new version. the one in Add/Remove and synaptic is not | 05:32 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: First of all, what does the terminal show you when you type pwd? | 05:32 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, really? I would have thought that was just running out of cycles... | 05:32 |
| alokito | hellcattrav: I like banshee, but rhythmbox is my favorite | 05:32 |
| [Luc1fer] | eligos: what are your system specs... video ram and card | 05:32 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: it's because it's written in python | 05:32 |
| tensei | I'm looking to download WINE.. i went to package manager and found it.. but i want to make sure it's a stable version supported by ubuntu... are all the packages in the package manger stable? | 05:32 |
| dumbdum | /home/greg | 05:32 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, true! | 05:32 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: http://banshee-project.org/ | 05:32 |
| antbrown | is the NetworkManager replaceable? | 05:32 |
| eligos | Intel D946GZIS | 05:32 |
| vegombrei | [Luc1fer]: done .. what next ? | 05:33 |
| hellcattrav | Mecha25, when will that go in the Repo? | 05:33 |
| Mecha25 | tensei: in Add/Remove? yes. | 05:33 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, but python is pretty quick | 05:33 |
| alokito | its in repo | 05:33 |
| masum | arakthor_ pls help | 05:33 |
| Mecha25 | hellcattrav: the old .13 version | 05:33 |
| [Luc1fer] | vegombrei: go into its folder and look for a README | 05:33 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: Type cd .local/share/Trash | 05:33 |
| arakthor_ | masum, that did not work for you? | 05:33 |
| eshaase | i noticed a segfault termination when i was using firefox earlier which caused me to reboot to get it to work, i thought the problem was with firefox but later discovered gvim is also seg faulting, any idea whats going on? | 05:33 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, I haven't tried banshee yet | 05:33 |
| [Luc1fer] | vegombrei: then do as it suggests | 05:33 |
| G3N0 | OKAY everytime i push backspace too many times it makes a system beep noise HOW DO I TURN IT OFF? | 05:34 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: no. it's interpreted, an order of magnitude slower than C or C++, which are compiled | 05:34 |
| Mecha25 | G3NO: System, Preferences, Sound | 05:34 |
| eligos | Luc1fer: 1gb ram, dual core 3 | 05:34 |

| dumbdum | no such file or directory.. | 05:34 |
| masum | arakthor_ no it says no w3c package | 05:34 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: http://banshee-project.org/ | 05:34 |
| alokito | G3N0: I like that sound ;) | 05:34 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: get the new version, not the one in the repos | 05:34 |
| eligos | luc1fer: sorry, dual core 3.0 ghz, integrated video | 05:34 |
| [Luc1fer] | eligos: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:35 |
| G3N0 | alokito: where'd you get your weed? :) | 05:35 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, tnx fer the reccomend | 05:35 |
| cupe^ | Does anybody know how I can completely disable the mouse pointer? Tried to remove the mouse settings in xorg.conf, without success. And NO, I dont want to cut the cable. | 05:35 |
| Mecha25 | Rhorse: it won't mass-tag-edit like Quod Libet can... but then again nothing does | 05:35 |
| masum | arakthor_ no it says no w3c package | 05:35 |
| eligos | luc1fer: I've already installed that | 05:35 |
| arakthor_ | masum, I'm very sorry. it's w3m | 05:35 |
| [Luc1fer] | cupe^: your mouse still has a tail? | 05:35 |
| cupe^ | lol | 05:35 |
| cupe^ | Yeah | 05:35 |
| eligos | luc1fer: but it does not enable anything | 05:35 |
| vegombrei | [Luc1fer]: it says double click the script file to run ... thats not how i had it earlier .. it installed itself and was in my applications | 05:36 |
| masum | arakthor_ ok let me try again | 05:36 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: I'm going to PM you, okay? It'll be much easier that way. | 05:36 |
| Rhorse | Mecha25, won't ex falso work with banshee? | 05:36 |
| tensei | mecha25: no, system, admin, synaptic package manager.. WINE isn't in add remove programs that I saw.. | 05:36 |

| surger | whats the 'file system' drive and the media drive for? | 05:45 |
| surger | the file system drive is much smaller than the media | 05:46 |
| surger | I'm noobie to ubuntu | 05:46 |
| masum | araktor_ pls help | 05:46 |
| valiant8086 | same here | 05:46 |
| ferfactor | hi i have a problem i try to put the sound in default mode... but i don't now how | 05:46 |
| Rhorse | file system is just the dir layout of the drive | 05:46 |
| [Luc1fer] | Zeroyez: then you need to configure the windows bootloader to load ubuntu, which is possible but much harder than GRUB | 05:46 |
| xTheGoat121x | I'm there. | 05:46 |
| surger | so what does ubuntu use the 'media drive' for? Its 60 gig vs the file system drive is only 11 gig | 05:46 |
| Rhorse | media is the mount point for your other drives, mounted partitions, etc. | 05:47 |
| ferfactor | when i try to low the volum the computer only slow the volum but the volum of the hedphones... how i can fix that? | 05:47 |
| surger | should the media drive been that much larger than the file system drive? | 05:47 |
| masum | can anyone tell me how to view unicoded bangla html pages in command line(tty) | 05:47 |
| Zeroyez | yeah but i want to be able to boot into windows too | 05:47 |
| Zeroyez | not just ubuntu | 05:47 |
| Mecha25 | !ba | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ba | 05:47 |
| [Luc1fer] | surger: /media is ubuntus answer to /mnt | 05:47 |
| Rhorse | surger, depends on the indiv system | 05:48 |
| hellcattrav | Mecha25, yer | 05:48 |
| Mecha25 | what is the bangla #ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| [Luc1fer] | Zeroyez: it will. | 05:48 |
| ferfactor | na i fixed it thanks jajajaja | 05:48 |

| valiant8086 | jcarter, I could run VMWare, but I don't know if that's a good idea. I need to boot just one OS at a time, if I use a virtual environment like that I hear I slow things down? | 05:52 |
| surger | okay done | 05:52 |

| hellcattrav | and then it comes up wiht nowt in the library | 05:53 |
| hellcattrav | 0 songs | 05:53 |
| jcarter | bedouwin: You need to be superuser - try sudo with the command. And copy it to $HOME/src and work in there. | 05:53 |
| Fredd | Flannel: well im trying to install RealPlayer but the package it self is not on the ubuntu packages repos so i grabbed the .bin but where shall i install it in? | 05:54 |

| jcarter | valiant8086: It hasn´t slown me down any. In fact, Windows XP seems to run faster on my Mac. | 05:54 |
| surger | Luc1fer it doesnt say | 05:54 |
| Fredd | Flannel: ? | 05:55 |
| bedouwin | jcarter, thank you. sudo worked! :) | 05:55 |

| surger | so what should I do? | 06:00 |
| jcarter | valiant8086: I installed VMWare for Mac. If your native OS is Windows, install VMWare for Windows. Then install your other OS in VMWare. You need the original software for that. | 06:00 |

| bigdiskool | jcarter: haha its ok...im trying to install xp on ubuntu using VirtualBox OSE and i have about seven gigs of space set up for it im not sure that will be enough?...but it keeps telling me that i don't have the VirtualBox kernel driver installed so it wont let me:(.. | 06:07 |
| alokito | and gnome is more lighter than kde | 06:07 |
| alokito | on resources | 06:07 |
| alokito | lighter* | 06:08 |
| Mecha25 | alokito: both KDE and Gnome can run each other's apps | 06:08 |
| surger | i see | 06:08 |
| alokito | my english is bad, sorry :) | 06:08 |
| surger | oh really? | 06:08 |
| jcarter | bigdiskool: Personally, I would give up on anything except VMWare. It´s a no-brainer. | 06:08 |
| alokito | Mecha25: yes I know | 06:08 |
| arktvrvs | hello. how can i make my resolution higher? | 06:08 |
| Mecha25 | surger: yeah, you can run Amarok from Gnome, and Rhythmbox from KDE, but they'll look different than other native apps | 06:08 |
| bigdiskool | jcarter: is it free? | 06:08 |
| Mecha25 | they'll work fine though | 06:08 |
| sarthor | histo, | 06:08 |

| surger | dang | 06:09 |
| surger | that one looked sick | 06:09 |
| Mecha25 | surger: that's one of the differences. you CAN have both | 06:09 |
| jcarter | bigdiskool: Almost. Go to their website and look for Fusion Workstation. | 06:09 |
| Mecha25 | but I've found that tends to create MAJOR bugs | 06:09 |

Thought maybe you had something there under Subsection ¨Display¨ called Virtual where the two arguments are the screen size on start-up. | 06:13 |
| valiant8086 | jcarter, do you have to pay for VMWare? I thought there was a legal free version | 06:13 |

| Zeroyez | I don't want to do this every time I want to go to a different OS | 06:14 |
| arktvrvs | thanks jcarter | 06:14 |
| valiant8086 | monster they? | 06:14 |
| jcarter | monster: iwill virtualbox run several OS´s simultaneously? | 06:14 |
| valiant8086 | er | 06:14 |
| alokito | download virtualbox from the virtualbox site | 06:14 |
| surger | Mecha25: whats a cool theme from that site? | 06:14 |
| alokito | there's a version for ubuntu hardy | 06:15 |
| alokito | search google | 06:15 |
| valiant8086 | did someone just say it doesn't work with gnome? | 06:15 |
| alokito | deb package | 06:15 |
| monster | alokito: i meant the kde apps. they have different iconsets preinstalled | 06:15 |
| alokito | surger: lots of new themes are available everyday | 06:15 |
| Mecha25 | surger: you have to find one for yourself, I don't know what you like | 06:15 |
| monster | alokito: thats why | 06:15 |
| alokito | monster: yes | 06:15 |
| monster | jcarter: i think so | 06:15 |
| monster | jcarter: just give it a try :) | 06:16 |
| Zeroyez | is it possible to make windows work with grub? | 06:16 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: when i try running and installing xp on my virtualbox it says i don't have the kernel...any ideas where i can get it and how to install? | 06:16 |
| monster | Zeroyez: works out of the box o_O | 06:16 |
| Zeroyez | no, because when I boot windows it says Error: Boot\BCD not found | 06:16 |
| alokito | Zeroyez: ur grub didnt detect windows automatically? or you dont have windows installed? | 06:16 |
| jcarter | monster: I just looked it up. It seems to be worth looking into. But since VMWare works so well, don´t think I´l bother to switch until I need to spend more money on an upgrade for VMWare. | 06:16 |
| alokito | hmmm | 06:16 |
| surger | what should I look for when I am downloading a theme? | 06:17 |
| Zeroyez | it detected it, but I can't boot it because it overwrote windows's boot loader | 06:17 |
| surger | Make sure there arent alot of bugs? | 06:17 |
| alokito | xp or vista? | 06:17 |
| tensei | zeroyez: what version? | 06:17 |
| Zeroyez | Vista | 06:17 |
| Mecha25 | surger: just try them, usually they're bug free or they get removed | 06:17 |
| Zeroyez | I can get around it be reinstalling boot loaders every time I want to change OS's | 06:17 |
| alokito | ok, I have no idea about vista | 06:17 |
| Zeroyez | but that's getting too goddamn annoying | 06:17 |
| alokito | in xp u could do fixboot then re-install grub | 06:17 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: do u have experience with virtualbox? | 06:18 |
| tensei | zeroyez: there's a better answer | 06:18 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: yes | 06:18 |
| sarthor | when i restart "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" it gives me the msg "OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)" Any idea??? | 06:18 |
| tensei | zeroyez: download easyBCD.. | 06:18 |
| tensei | zeroyez: it's a windows ap. | 06:18 |
| Zeroyez | I don't want EasyBCD | 06:18 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: ok good im trying it out for the first time and its giving me a message that i don't have the virtualbox kernel..how do i get it? | 06:18 |
| Zeroyez | I want GRUB to work with Windows | 06:18 |
| tensei | zeroyez: you install linux or windows first? | 06:19 |
| Zeroyez | linux | 06:19 |
| catalepsic | windows first | 06:19 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: i thought maybe the kernel would have been installed already witht he program? | 06:19 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: did you install from ubuntu repo? | 06:19 |
| alokito | I downloaded deb package from virtualbox site | 06:19 |
| Zeroyez | there must be some way to get it to work without installing windows first... | 06:19 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: sure did..is that a nono ? :( | 06:19 |
| surger | Mecha25: Is this a theme or just a skin for winamp or something? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vortigo+++(+3D%2BVU%2BBeryl%2BDock+)?content=55440 | 06:20 |
| alokito | its easier to configure from the deb pack :) | 06:20 |
| tensei | zeroyez: i just did this, well, i did windows first then linux, but i saw vice versa, hold on | 06:20 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:yes..you boot form ur ubuntu live cd.... | 06:20 |
| catalepsic | zeroeyez: you have to install windows first or it will overwrite evrytime | 06:20 |
| Zeroyez | Did that | 06:20 |
| monster | bigdiskool: search synaptic for virtualbox-ose-modules for your kernel | 06:20 |
| monster | jcarter: if you have a running system on vmware already, then its fine | 06:20 |
| monster | jcarter: otherwise, get virtualbox ;) | 06:20 |
| monster | chatting on this eee is way funnier than i thought :D | 06:20 |
| Zeroyez | I ran grub from terminal | 06:20 |
| valiant8086 | Ubuntu 5.10/6.06 Desktop/7.04/7.10/8.04 Work, with Additions | 06:20 |
| Zeroyez | then reinstalled it | 06:20 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:no you can install windows last and u can fix everything | 06:20 |
| Zeroyez | it wiped out windows, no problems solved | 06:20 |
| jcarter | Zeroyez: check out http://www.gnu.org/software/grub | 06:20 |
| Tron7890 | I have a question if anyone can help I just installed ubuntu and my screen is ghosting the video card is a VIA Chrome9 and i cant find any drivers for it. Is there anything i can do? | 06:21 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:after running grub from termonal u have to | 06:21 |
| bigdiskool | monster: ok thanks bud | 06:21 |
| kristano | hey-- when i'm installing ubuntu, if I leave the format box unchecked, and mark the mount point as /home, will it mount the partition as /home while keeping the contents? I think it will, just double-checking | 06:21 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 06:21 |
| Zeroyez | after running it from terminal I did root (hd0,1) which is my lenny partition | 06:21 |
| tensei | zeroyez: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm is what you want, second option, shows you how to configure GRUB | 06:22 |
| jcarter | monster: Got ya. Good point. | 06:22 |
| Zeroyez | and then I did setup (hd0) | 06:22 |
| Zeroyez | and then I typed quit | 06:22 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:yes that is ok | 06:22 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:then | 06:22 |
| sarthor | when i restart "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" it gives me the msg "OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)" Any idea??? | 06:22 |
| Zeroyez | and that overwrote the windows loader | 06:22 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:that will hwlp | 06:22 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:help | 06:22 |
| tensei | zeroyez: you have to configure GRUB to see both after that | 06:22 |
| surger | whats XMMS? | 06:22 |
| Zeroyez | GRUB sees both ffs | 06:22 |
| Zeroyez | I said that like 1000 times | 06:22 |
| Mecha25 | surger: a media player | 06:22 |
| kristano | surger: a Linux replacement of WinAmp | 06:22 |
| catalepsic | surger: a music player | 06:22 |
| Zeroyez | GRUB overwrote windows boot loader = Windows complains and refuses to boot | 06:23 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: so should i just install the kernel to it from the synaptic..or should i just start over and reinstall it off the site? | 06:23 |
| alokito | Zeroyez: did you try vista bootfix thingy? | 06:23 |
| Mecha25 | !mbr | 06:23 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:23 |
| Mecha25 | wrong one... | 06:23 |
| surger | Oh okay | 06:23 |
| Zeroyez | I did | 06:24 |
| Zeroyez | it did nothing | 06:24 |
| alokito | it should overwrite linux grub, then u can reinstall grub and probably you will get vista back | 06:24 |
| alokito | hmm | 06:24 |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:u visit this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 06:24 |
| Zeroyez | that's what it did, but it's not what i wanted it to do | 06:24 |
| * arktvrvs has managed to make a proper xorg.conf | 06:24 | |
| Zeroyez | that's the site I followed | 06:24 |
| surger | thanks | 06:24 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: remove ur current installation of virtualbox and download ubuntu package from the site | 06:24 |
| surger | everytime I think I see a theme that I like its not for my system or completely different | 06:25 |
| surger | heh | 06:25 |
| * Mecha25 congratulates arktvrvs | 06:25 | |
| dabbu | Zeroyez:if windows is not booting u can edit ur grub menu and that will work perfectly | 06:25 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: k thanks | 06:25 |
| * arktvrvs will remain here, in case he might be of help | 06:25 | |
| Zeroyez | no it won't | 06:25 |
| Zeroyez | because windows cannot boot without a loader | 06:25 |
| Zeroyez | windows and grub are fighting over the mbr | 06:26 |
| Rat409 | so boot it with grub | 06:26 |
| tensei | zeroyez: what happens when you try to boot to vista from GRUB? | 06:26 |
| chipbuddy | i had a 7.10 alternate install cd, and i saw there was an option to install a command line system. I now have an 8.04 alternate install cd, but i don't see a similar option. i can just install ubuntu. how do i just install the command line? | 06:26 |
| Mecha25 | zeroyez: then install Grub to your Ubuntu partition | 06:26 |
| Mecha25 | zeroyez: and install windows MBR to your vista one. | 06:27 |
| Mecha25 | zeroyez: then put a link to your Ubuntu partiiton into the MBR using EasyBCD | 06:27 |
| tensei | mecha25: he doesn't want to use easybcd... | 06:27 |
| Mecha25 | tensei: then he'll have to do it manually, which I found to be hell | 06:27 |
| Fredd | "Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/free/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable [IP: 78.46.39.176 80]" anybody knows a working source? | 06:27 |
| Zeroyez | tensei: I get Error: Boot\BCD cannot be found | 06:27 |
| Mecha25 | Zeroyez: from EasyBCD? | 06:28 |
| Zeroyez | no | 06:28 |
| tensei | mecha25: no | 06:28 |
| tensei | from grub | 06:28 |
| tensei | well, from windows | 06:28 |
| Zeroyez | from booting Vista with grub | 06:28 |
| Mecha25 | zeroyez:OH! you're doing it the other way around | 06:28 |
| tensei | mecha25: yes :-) | 06:28 |
| Mecha25 | zeroyez: not sure how to help you out there, the way I outlined works for me, It's possible the other way, but I have no idea how | 06:29 |
| surger | Whats the 'Splash Screen' | 06:29 |
| surger | ? | 06:29 |
| Zeroyez | it worked before actually | 06:29 |
| Zeroyez | but today it randomly gave me that message | 06:29 |
| broken_ | Is anyone else having issues with ubuntus package site? | 06:30 |
| Mecha25 | surger: the screen you see when ubuntu starts, it's off by default | 06:30 |
| broken_ | i.e http://packages.ubuntu.com | 06:30 |
| bigdiskool | does anyone know how i find out if my OS is x84 orx32 or wut ever? | 06:30 |
| Mecha25 | surger: it's a little box that shows your desktop loading progress, nothing to go crazy over | 06:30 |
| surger | oh i see | 06:31 |
| Mecha25 | bigdiskool: yes. System, Administration, System Monitor | 06:31 |
| Mecha25 | bigdiskool: first tab should show it | 06:31 |
| tensei | zeroyez: what i would suggest is to reinstall vista's boot loader, then reinstall GRUB to kick it out, reconfigure.. that way you know it's not something crazy... | 06:31 |
| surger | I was just noticing there are custome splash pages you can download | 06:31 |
| Rhorse | bigdiskool, what's in your /boot dir? | 06:31 |
| surger | my desktop loads pretty quickly, I dont think I would see much of that splash screen | 06:31 |
| Zeroyez | kicking it out means no vista :( | 06:31 |
| surger | does anyone really? | 06:31 |
| bigdiskool | Rhorse: im not sure lol | 06:32 |
| snuggyfoo | Hello, I am having trouble with my audio playback. The sound is really low even though I have all the mixer settings set to max and unmutted (used alsamixer) | 06:32 |
| Mecha25 | surger: I don't, I tried it, it wasn't worth it for me | 06:32 |
| Mecha25 | bigdiskool: system monitor will tell you | 06:32 |
| bigdiskool | it ses kernel linux then a bunch of numbers | 06:32 |
| c0mpub0mb | i have a question, how come when i move my mouse to another window, the window partially on top of themain window will become almost completely transparent without me even touching it ? | 06:32 |
| c0mpub0mb | i turned off all transparent / opacity pugins on compiz | 06:32 |
| Fredd | no body else getting a server unavaliable error from mediubuntu sourcees? | 06:32 |
| Mecha25 | Compub0mb: you have Opacify enabled in Compiz, reboot and try turning it off again | 06:32 |
| === c0mpub0mb is now known as compubomb | ||
| surger | Mecha25: yeah I was reading the how to install this and it seems like alot of work for something silly like that | 06:33 |
| Rhorse | bigdiskool, you can paste the kernel file into google and it will tell you what it is or follow Mecha25 | 06:33 |
| Zeroyez | I'll go with EasyBCD | 06:33 |
| tensei | zeroyez: reconfigure GRUB after you do that... follow the pcmag link i gave you , second option for configuring GRUB, 3 steps, make sure you do all.. then grub should dualboot both fine | 06:33 |
| Zeroyez | However I have 1 problem | 06:33 |
| Zeroyez | I cannot install GRUB to anywhere other than the MBR | 06:34 |
| Zeroyez | I don't know if EasyBCD can boot linux without GRUB | 06:34 |
| bobertdos | Fredd: Well, I will say medibuntu has been having a lot of stability issues lately. The repo has been going up and down constantly for months. | 06:34 |
| tensei | zeroyez: why not? | 06:34 |
| bigdiskool | Mecha25:it says kernel linux 2.6.24-19-generic ....how do i read that? | 06:34 |
| Zeroyez | Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,1)"... failed (this is not fatal) | 06:34 |
| Zeroyez | Because I get that error when installing it anywhere else | 06:34 |
| Fredd | bobertdos: ! man i wanna watch my realplayer movie ;[ | 06:34 |
| bigdiskool | Rhorse: what do u mean paste my kernel file? | 06:34 |
| Fredd | anyway i could get those w32codecs from another place? | 06:35 |
| snuggyfoo | Does anyone have any idea how to increase volume beyond the limit of alsamixer? | 06:35 |
| Rhorse | bigdiskool, nevermind, Mecha25 | 06:35 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: this should work... http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/virtualbox_1.6.4-33808_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb?BundledLineItemUUID=8xNIBe.pv2sAAAEbikUvz9RP&OrderID=NydIBe.pW5sAAAEbf0Uvz9RP&ProductID=lo5IBe.oSVAAAAEZ7akZKqcY&FileName=/virtualbox_1.6.4-33808_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb | 06:35 |
| Rhorse | gave the right answer. 8 ) | 06:35 |
| Zeroyez | btw ext2 ifs needs to be updated to work with SATA hard drives and 64 bit Vista | 06:35 |
| Zeroyez | :( | 06:35 |
| bobertdos | Fredd: Just keep trying now and again, it'll come up again long enough for you to install stuff. | 06:36 |
| Fredd | bobertdos: screw it, i will just install realplaye | 06:36 |
| Fredd | r | 06:36 |
| tensei | zeroyez.. hmm... | 06:36 |

| alokito | bigdiskool: okay, nice | 07:43 |

| mien07 | guyz wat is the user name and password for my root? | 07:54 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: i got another problem... | 07:54 |
| bigdiskool | :( | 07:54 |
| danbhfive | brophat: or try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:54 |
| mien07 | i want to use my root account | 07:54 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: what is it? | 07:54 |
| danbhfive | !root | mien07 | 07:55 |
| ubottu | mien07: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 07:55 |
| brophat | ok the mplayer did not run it, will do the apt-get | 07:55 |
| bigdiskool | it started reading the cd now its says The CD can only be used with ACer systems!! | 07:55 |
| alokito | mien07: you can boot as root, its not needed... though | 07:55 |
| alokito | login*, not boot | 07:55 |
| bigdiskool | im using an acer travelmate | 07:55 |
| acrousey | does ubuntu have any movie editors? | 07:55 |
| mien07 | ha? | 07:56 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: it says in the virtualbox window?? | 07:56 |
| administrator | Any 1 can help me? | 07:56 |
| acrousey | or is there a ubuntu friendly movie editor out there? | 07:56 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: yes | 07:56 |
| alokito | then, you need a Normal XP cd, not acer specialized cd | 07:56 |
| brophat | danbhfive after the install should I run mplayer again? | 07:56 |
| alokito | anyway your vbox is fine now, it can boot operating systems and install them :) | 07:56 |
| danbhfive | brophat: no, totem | 07:57 |
| Wolf23 | alokito yes format quick works | 07:57 |
| alokito | Wolf23: okay, thats great | 07:57 |
| bigdiskool | alokito: that sucks balls..now it doesn't recognize that my machine is acer? | 07:58 |
| danbhfive | brophat: are you using ubuntu? | 07:58 |
| Wolf23 | alokito wait if copies files is working fine or not/ | 07:58 |
| bazhang | bigdiskool, please watch the language | 07:58 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: Lol, no its not suppossed to recognize | 07:58 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | sup | 07:58 |
| alokito | virtualbox creates a totally different virtual pc from ur machine | 07:58 |
| HRshovinstuff | I have a classic problem: I Dual boot with WINblows in my GRUB startup menu, winblows phailed and i had to reinstall. So of course it takes over my master boot record. Is there anyway to restore GRUB without totally boneing my current Ubuntu install?? I've tried googling to no avail.....thus i am here asking for help from the community. | 07:59 |
| brophat | danbhfive yes | 07:59 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | How can you connect to a pc behind a router? | 07:59 |
| bigdiskool | well then why do they make an acer specialized cd thats gay! | 07:59 |
| Flannel | azn_emo_boi101: port forwarding on the router | 07:59 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | !grub | 07:59 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:59 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Flannel: Que? | 07:59 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Mine or theirs? | 07:59 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: because Microsoft wanted it that way. Prevent piracy | 07:59 |
| Flannel | azn_emo_boi101: the connectee. | 08:00 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | bigdiskool: Certain CD's contain system specific drivers | 08:00 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | flannel: That's the only way> | 08:00 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | ? | 08:00 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | And how do I set that up? | 08:00 |
| bigdiskool | danbhfive: ya but this isn't piracy...im on an acer laptop with its origonal cd | 08:00 |
| Flannel | azn_emo_boi101: All you can do is connect from your PC to their IP, which would be the router unless its forwarding it on to their PC | 08:00 |
| bigdiskool | im just going through a different channel | 08:00 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | What happens if I connect to the router though? | 08:01 |
| Flannel | azn_emo_boi101: Usually you log in to the router's admin thing through the web. | 08:01 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | That wouldn | 08:01 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | 't be their comp. | 08:01 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Oh, one of those. I don't know my router's IP. | 08:01 |
| bazhang | azn_emo_boi101, your router or someone else's | 08:01 |
| Flannel | azn_emo_boi101: its probably x.x.x.1, it should be the same as your gateway's IP | 08:01 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: yes, but you are installing in a virtual machine right? VMs will show up as a generic computer, and hence fail to be an acer laptop | 08:01 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Aye | 08:01 |
| Kartagis | how to work around that icq bug? do i need to upgrade pidgin? | 08:01 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | I have Satellite internet, so I have my router and my satelite box. My box is 192.0.0.1 | 08:02 |
| alokito | agreed with danbhfive | 08:02 |
| bigdiskool | danbhfive: that really pisses me off...do u know if that can b fixeD? | 08:02 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: I dont think it can be fixed | 08:02 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: pirate a copy of windows? | 08:02 |
| FuRom1 | Is there a linux alternative to using IECapt.exe (http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/) for generating website screenshots automatically? | 08:02 |
| bigdiskool | or...maybe it would work if i just did ubuntu virtually through xp? | 08:02 |
| brophat | danbhfive damn that thing is installing everything but the kitchen sink hahaha | 08:02 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: yes that will work | 08:02 |
| catalepsic | i am running a pirate opy of xp on virtualbox | 08:03 |
| danbhfive | brophat: what thing? | 08:03 |
| bigdiskool | can i use virtualbox on xp? | 08:03 |
| bazhang | danbhfive, dont suggest that here | 08:03 |
| brophat | danbhfive that apt-get | 08:03 |
| bazhang | bigdiskool, sure you can do it that way | 08:03 |
| Kartagis | bigdiskool, sure | 08:03 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: yes theres is xp version of virtualbox | 08:03 |
| alokito | you can find in vbox site | 08:03 |
| bigdiskool | HI5 GUYS!! WoooHOO! | 08:03 |
| danbhfive | brophat: ah, yes, it gets all the restricted formats, etc | 08:03 |
| bigdiskool | ^.^ | 08:03 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | bigdiskool: cough cough bittorrent cough | 08:04 |
| Kartagis | FuRom1, browsershots.org | 08:04 |
| bigdiskool | but that means....ill have to abandon all my work on this session of ubuntu :( | 08:04 |
| bazhang | azn_emo_boi101, dont suggest that here. | 08:04 |
| __machine | how can i create a user account on ubuntu and give if jailed / chrooted sftp access only? | 08:04 |
| alokito | azn_emo_boi101: say in pm message ;) | 08:04 |
| bigdiskool | azn_emo_boi: wat?? | 08:04 |
| BlearyBram | hi, since reinstallation of the US, whenever I've tried to start things with Java, the whole X Server frozen. | 08:05 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: you might be able to ask acer for a regular copy of windows | 08:05 |
| bigdiskool | are u hinting at something? | 08:05 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | sorry all | 08:05 |
| brophat | danbhfive it finished but I don't see totem listed | 08:05 |
| bazhang | !piracy | 08:05 |
| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 08:05 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | To find virtualbox! | 08:05 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | I never said for windows.. | 08:05 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: I know you can do that if they never sent you the disk | 08:05 |
| BlearyBram | that also includes, odd enough, OpenOffice.org recovery. | 08:05 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | But anyways, sorry all | 08:05 |
| bigdiskool | danbhfive: are u talking about the system disk? | 08:05 |
| danbhfive | brophat: totem is the default media player on ubuntu, but forget that, just try the file | 08:06 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: a windows install disk | 08:06 |
| bigdiskool | ya i have the disk...it came with two recovery cd's and one system cd...so do u think they'd get me an origonal? | 08:06 |
| sklyar | hi | 08:07 |
| bigdiskool | if i happened to maybe...accidentally loose the others...somehow | 08:07 |
| bigdiskool | ^>^ | 08:07 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: like I said, you will have to ask to find out, I only know if they did NOT send you the disk, then they have to | 08:07 |
| sklyar | somebody can handle fan(coller) speed? | 08:07 |
| bazhang | bigdiskool, please chat elsewhere; you can get virtual box at their site. | 08:08 |
| FuRom1 | Kartagis, that's not what I'm in need of. I need the web page's screen shot, not the browser's. IECapt gets the entire web site. From getting the entire website, I can actually do more. I need something that runs natively in linux. It's for a website that I'm making. | 08:08 |
| bigdiskool | bazhang: are u hatin on me? | 08:08 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: no, we are trying to show you the right location to fix your problem | 08:08 |
| danbhfive | bigdiskool: bazhang is just trying to keep this room to Ubuntu support, which is what this room is supposed to be | 08:09 |
| alokito | now you have problem with your xp cd, thats not related with ubuntu | 08:09 |
| alokito | so we have nothing to do here, sorry | 08:09 |
| bigdiskool | ok i get it...ill shut up now >.> | 08:09 |
| Wolf23 | alokito: till now it copies all files completely and after restart it shows a black screen, windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windowsystem32\config\system | 08:09 |
| alokito | Wolf23: please join the #windows channel | 08:10 |
| brophat | danbhfive nope does not play it | 08:10 |
| bigdiskool | but...i still want to say..thanx guys for ur support u guys know ur shit | 08:10 |
| Dillo_of_Faeo | hey all | 08:10 |
| Wolf23 | alokito: i need your help friend | 08:10 |

| fenrisx | I have a problem. :( I just hooked my computer up to my TV using a DVI to HDMI cable. Ubuntu has the resolution set to 1280x720 (720p), my TV is 720p.. but it's 1366x768. For some reason the 1280x720 resolution doesn't fit my TV screen properly. All of the edges are cut off some.. top, bottom, left, and right. | 08:11 |
| bigdiskool | just one last question...do u think it would be better to run ubuntu or xp as a virtual? | 08:11 |
| fenrisx | Anyone know what the deal is with that? Why it's too big for my screen. | 08:11 |
| alokito | bigdiskool: I prefer virtual XP in Ubuntu | 08:12 |
| veen | Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working on the GRUB menu or during boot-up? | 08:12 |

| bigdiskool | u must have a regular cd | 08:12 |
| fenrisx | veen, not to go off topic here.. but how do you get to the GRUB menu? | 08:12 |
| soulchild | Hi all | 08:12 |

| bigdiskool | oooo wait!... | 08:13 |
| veen | fenrisx, well that's just the thing I can't get to it...sorry if I was misleading there | 08:13 |

| geev | Flannel, sorry what do you mean do you have a carriage return at the end of the line in your crontab? | 08:23 |
| jepp | does anyone play bygfoot? | 08:23 |
| Flannel | geev: You need to make sure you have a blank line at the end of your crontab file | 08:24 |
| Flannel | jepp: I think thats a no. | 08:24 |

| * _numbers_ throws his pc out the windows. | 08:25 | |
| Flannel | moDumass: Increase the size of the partition that its on | 08:26 |
| moDumass | Flannel, this is the random thing, i think its partition is 160 gigs | 08:26 |
| moDumass | and there is no way ive used 160gigs for anything in linux | 08:26 |
| Flannel | moDumass: df -h | 08:27 |

| bazhang | _numbers_, dont paste that here. | 08:29 |
| moDumass | so the partition is 27gigs | 08:29 |

| Kartagis | how to work around that icq bug? do i need to upgrade pidgin? | 08:36 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 08:36 |
| akhil_ | I want people to access some files on my windows drive through ftp.. Is there any way to do it without copying the files?? I tried mount -- bind but it does not work | 08:37 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, 8.04 | 08:37 |
| mifritscher | hi | 08:39 |
| mifritscher | how stable is intrepid atm? | 08:39 |
| Flannel | mifritscher: Its alpha software | 08:39 |
| TwoD | akhil_ why can't you just enter the path to the windows drive in the ftp server config? | 08:39 |
| mifritscher | Flannel: is it usable atm or does it still have big bugs? | 08:39 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: Are you completely up to date? with pidgin 2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1? | 08:40 |
| Flannel | mifritscher: It's alpha software. Alpha software means you use it if you know what you're doing, and don't mind stuff breaking all the time. | 08:40 |
| akhil_ | TwoD, Wouldnt tat mean i have to keep all my files there?? | 08:40 |
| moDumass | if a dir doesnt shw in /media does that mean im most prob installed in that dir? | 08:40 |
| Flannel | mifritscher: You can get actual answers in #ubuntu+1 though. Its semi-frozen at the moment, so it might be stabilizing. | 08:41 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, now I am | 08:41 |
| TwoD | akhil_, I'm not sure what you mean by "where". | 08:41 |
| TwoD | akhil_, sorry, "there" hehe | 08:41 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: Do you still have the icq problems? (Is this a new ICQ bug?) | 08:41 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, let me see | 08:42 |
| akhil_ | TwoD, Windows drive :) | 08:42 |
| dabbu | how to mount a ext3 filesystem with rW permission by editing the fstab file | 08:42 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, it says client version is too old | 08:42 |
| Kartagis | i thought that was a bug | 08:42 |
| moDumass | Flannel , in disk usage analyser it says 50% of my filesystem is used | 08:43 |
| akhil_ | What i am looking for is some option by which i can add folders at different locations on my FTP without actually copying them to the /home/ftp folder | 08:43 |
| Kartagis | 2.4.3 is not in repos yet? | 08:43 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: Hmm, that's odd. That was fixed. I'd check out launchpad, file a bug if one isn't already there | 08:43 |
| moDumass | i cant figure out how to increase the partition size without breaking my windows or linux dirs | 08:43 |
| moDumass | or installs really | 08:43 |
| TwoD | akhil_, you don't have to keep anything there that you don't want to, why'd you think that? | 08:43 |
| akhil_ | I dont want to keep all that i want to be shared in the same folder... Rather i dont have much space left on my lnux filesystem to copy the entire thing.. and i can't either shift my ftp folder to windows drive as there are many files on linux FS which also must be shared.. | 08:45 |
| moDumass | Flannel http://pastebin.com/d710e3095 that is the output | 08:46 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: if you have 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1, ICQ should be fixed | 08:46 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, when will 2.4.3 be in the repos? | 08:46 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, I have that | 08:46 |
| TwoD | akhil_, make a soft symlink to the folder on your Windows drive from the shared FTP folder then. | 08:47 |
| kippy | Hey guys anyone knows about good blogging clients for linux? something like windows live writer? | 08:47 |
| geev | my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows | 08:47 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: "2.4.3" won't ever be in Hardy, but bugfixes are put into the older version. Like that one. Are you sure oyou have that package version? if so, file a bug report, since its obviously not fixed. | 08:47 |
| bazhang | kippy, blogfire; its a ff plugin | 08:47 |
| Gin | how do I know if my version of mplayer has dvd menu supoprt or not? | 08:47 |
| Flannel | moDumass: Shrink sdb5 | 08:48 |
| mifritscher | how is the program called which traces all calls from a program? | 08:48 |
| TwoD | Gin, I think so, as long as you've got general dvd support installed | 08:48 |
| kippy | bazhang, nothing standalone? I dont use FF much | 08:48 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, oh, I'm online now | 08:48 |
| Gin | TwoD, nope, the verison you install from repo does not have dvdmenu support | 08:49 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, how can I get skype? do i need to compile it manually? | 08:49 |

| ubottu | Kartagis: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 08:49 |
| bboschman | how do I figure out which ubuntu version I'm running? | 08:49 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: skype isn't open source, you can't compile it. | 08:49 |
| Flannel | bboschman: lsb_release -a | 08:49 |
| moDumass | Flannel, can i do that without breaking it, like how do i tell if im overwriting stuff? | 08:49 |
| bboschman | thanks | 08:49 |
| TwoD | Gin, hang on and I'll check if mine works | 08:50 |
| Flannel | moDumass: gparted knows how to massage partitions just fine. | 08:50 |
| xnv | So if I'm an idiot and remove the 'root' entry from my /etc/passwd to try and reset it, is there a way undo the damage from a user account? (sudo = "sudo: no passwd entry for root!") If not, I'll just use a LiveCD. | 08:50 |

| anto | Guys i realy need some help | 09:37 |
| anto | my harddisk crashed | 09:37 |
| anto | and i need to recover the contents of /var/www and my mysql database | 09:37 |
| vega-- | take them from your backups | 09:37 |
| vega-- | which you, of course, have made | 09:37 |
| jdd | anto: boot with a livecd and you _may_ be able to recover the data. if you're lucky. | 09:38 |
| anto | jdd im not :( | 09:38 |

| leonancy | how to install web server in ubuntu? | 09:39 |
| anto | !apache leonancy | 09:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apache leonancy | 09:39 |
| bazhang | !lamp | 09:39 |
| anto | o.0 | 09:39 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 09:39 |
| jdd | anto: there is also the option of paying a data recovery service for it, which would run $200 - $1000 | 09:39 |
| anto | jdd i cant afford that | 09:39 |
| jdd | anto: is the hard drive dead, or is it just corrupted? Is it making the death clicks? | 09:40 |
| anto | jdd its corrupted | 09:40 |
| vega-- | run fsck? | 09:41 |

| hano | Luclfer: hmm, ok.. or is it possible to go "back" to drapper drake and upgrade then? | 09:49 |

| ikonia | IrishDavid: it's a sub second start up time | 10:42 |

| bazhang | IrishDavid, why do you need a webserver on eeepc? | 10:43 |
| biped | ikonia thanks, but none of your suggestions work. the screen gets no signal and the hd led is constantly on. | 10:43 |
| ikonia | biped: pull the power lead out | 10:44 |
| henrik_ | anyone who could help me out, im lookin for a app or script that shift from screen to tv, and the other way, can anyone recomend anything? | 10:44 |
| biped | and PS/2 isn't working either | 10:44 |
| biped | i pulled the power lead out | 10:44 |
| biped | nothing | 10:44 |
| joaopinto | IrishDavid, <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, any ideas which webserver to install? <- weren't you asking for a web server ? | 10:44 |
| IrishDavid | bazhang, ikonia, I'm looking for a download/bandwidth monitor to assess how my 3G stick is performing | 10:44 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: you don't need a webserver for that | 10:44 |
| ikonia | hippu: put it back in and then boot | 10:44 |
| IrishDavid | ikonia, if you read back up you will see torgrimt_ suggested munin which requires a webserver so i was just asking | 10:45 |
| biped | yes, i assumed that I'd have to plug it back in and boot again :) | 10:45 |
| torgrimt_ | IrishDavid: munin was for creating the graph, you dont really need a webserver | 10:45 |
| biped | but as I said, nothing | 10:45 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: ok then - so use apache | 10:45 |
| damien | hello to all | 10:45 |
| torgrimt_ | you can find the png in /var/www/munin | 10:45 |
| ikonia | biped: then you have a hardware error | 10:45 |
| torgrimt_ | or you can use bwm in your console | 10:45 |
| IrishDavid | torgrimt_, thanks | 10:45 |
| torgrimt_ | or some ifstat | 10:45 |

First of all, I don't know where this "restricted manager" is | 10:50 |

| myconid | ubuntu installer should geomap my ip during install | 10:56 |
| omkar | Guys I m getting n error while installing j2re 1.4 | 10:57 |
| bazhang | myconid, put it on brainstorm | 10:57 |
| omkar | 1.4.2_)4 | 10:57 |
| omkar | 1.4.2_04 | 10:57 |
| bazhang | !brainstorm | 10:57 |
| ubottu | Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 10:57 |
| myconid | bazhang, im sure its there. | 10:57 |
| raginghawk | in the guide it says me to "Then select MyPhoneExplorer.exe under "Applications", and create a new settlement for "oleaut32.dll" under "librarys". (Set to "Native (Windows)"!) " under applications i i fix so myphoneexplorer.exe is there... but under library. i dont understand. | 10:57 |
| joaopinto | omkar, do you need that specific version ? | 10:57 |
| bazhang | myconid, then no need to discuss here | 10:57 |
| joaopinto | You can get 1.6 easily from the repositories | 10:57 |
| myconid | bazhang, gruphmph indeed! | 10:57 |
| drmarwat | i want to install kde 4.1 as sole desktop environment and want to remove kde 3.5.9, so how do i completly remove kde 3.5.9? | 10:57 |
| bazhang | myconid, this is a busy support channel | 10:58 |
| omkar | yes | 10:58 |
| omkar | for Oracle apps | 10:58 |
| bazhang | myconid, the chat channel is #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:58 |
| joaopinto | drmarwat, that is a question for #kubuntu :) | 10:58 |
| zerubuntu | bazhang, i used modprobe instead, like this: sudo modprobe /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko and it gave me this error: FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.24_19_generic/volatile/fglrx.ko not found. | 10:58 |
| joaopinto | omkar, so you are downloading the jre from the sun site ? | 10:58 |
| drmarwat | joaopinto: thanks | 10:58 |
| bazhang | zerubuntu, why not just enable in the hardware drivers? why are you trying to do it that way? | 10:59 |
| omkar | actually when i install java | 10:59 |
| omkar | it gives me n error tail: cannot open `+417' for reading: No such file or directory | 10:59 |
| omkar | Checksumming... | 10:59 |
| zerubuntu | bazhang, because that's what the guide says to do at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 10:59 |
| omkar | n says to check the troubleshoot matter on the link | 10:59 |
| joaopinto | omkar, that means your installer file is broken | 11:00 |
| bazhang | zerubuntu, which ati card | 11:00 |
| joaopinto | probably a corrupted download | 11:00 |
| KenBW2 | i it possible for Wine to deal with drivers? | 11:00 |
| thomas_ | yop | 11:00 |
| myconid | KenBW2, In what sense? | 11:00 |
| zerubuntu | sapphire ati radeon x1650 512mb agp | 11:00 |
| joaopinto | zerubuntu, that guide is outdated, you just need to use the drivers manager dialog | 11:00 |
| omkar | how come i downloaded from the site | 11:01 |
| === Guest4195 is now known as max | ||
| joaopinto | KenBW2, if you mean using wine to configure a driver for linux, no | 11:01 |
| KenBW2 | myconid: i have the Windows program that deals with my mobile phone, and it installs/runs under Wine, but obviously the drivers arent tere | 11:01 |
| zerubuntu | well i was directed to this guide earlier... | 11:01 |
| === max is now known as Guest72504 | ||
| myconid | KenBW2, then no - you would need a linux driver.. | 11:01 |
| joaopinto | omkar, like I said, that message is usually reported for a broken file, retry your download | 11:01 |
| myconid | KenBW2, or VMWare | 11:01 |
| omkar | I did it the same thing again | 11:02 |
| KenBW2 | myconid, joaopinto: any other solution? | 11:02 |
| myconid | KenBW2, or VMWare | 11:02 |
| omkar | its same 13.5 Mb | 11:02 |
| KenBW2 | myconid: i dont have a Windows licence | 11:02 |
| zerubuntu | bazhang, it's a sapphire radeon x1650 512mb agp card | 11:02 |
| joaopinto | omkar, is it a .bin file ? that you are running ? | 11:02 |
| omkar | Yes | 11:02 |
| omkar | YES YES | 11:02 |
| omkar | YES | 11:02 |
| joaopinto | omkar, that file check's itself, if it's reporting a checksum error, the file is corrupted, end of story :( | 11:03 |
| KenBW2 | myconid: is there an ndiswrapper for USB devices? | 11:03 |
| joaopinto | also make sure you have enough disk space (that is a common cause for corrupted downloads) | 11:03 |
| myconid | KenBW2, NDIS is a network driver protocol. | 11:03 |
| KenBW2 | myconid: yea i know, but is there an equivalent for USB things | 11:04 |
| myconid | not to my knowledge. | 11:04 |
| KenBW2 | myconid: ah well | 11:04 |
| myconid | does ubuntu server install hang at "configuring makedev"? | 11:04 |
| joaopinto | myconid, not usually, if it does, then you have a problem... | 11:05 |

| A[D]minS | how i can do it? | 11:06 |
| joaopinto | hateball, from the package manager, you can force a specific version to be installed | 11:06 |
| ikonia | A[D]minS: dd is a useful tool | 11:06 |
| === Guest72504 is now known as max | ||

| Slart | neko_: you need to flush the iptables rules and set the default for the chains.. plus remove any created chains | 11:08 |

| hateball | joaopinto: ah ok, I'll look into it. Cheers | 11:08 |

| Slart | neko_: yes, unless there is a startup script that sets some new rules | 11:10 |
| joaopinto | myron, yes, you will need to boot into rescue mode, and add your system host into /etc/hosts , on the 127.0.0.1 alias | 11:10 |

| neko_ | Slart: same problem | 11:23 |
| joaopinto | sonaquela, there is no such version of amsn | 11:24 |
| sonaquela | amsn 0.98 | 11:24 |
| Slart | neko_: can you pastebin the output of "sudo iptables -L" | 11:24 |
| neko_ | it seems that shorewall won't correctly purge, as i have it in the service list (not startà | 11:24 |
| joaopinto | sonaquela, the latest stable version is 0.97.2 | 11:24 |
| helpy | whats wrong amsn sonaquela | 11:24 |
| Slart | neko_: did you run those two commands I gave you? sudo apt-get etc etc | 11:24 |
| helpy | ? | 11:24 |
| neko_ | yep | 11:24 |
| sonaquela | helpy, i cant login ............. what amsn need | 11:25 |
| sonaquela | to work correctly | 11:25 |
| neko_ | i pastebin | 11:25 |
| Slart | !pt | 11:25 |
| ubottu | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 11:25 |

| joaopinto | sonaquela, you can get the latest stable version from www.getdeb.net , you will need to wait for the update on your repositories | 11:25 |
| joaopinto | or ... | 11:25 |
| sonaquela | thks | 11:25 |
| myron | does sudo not have a error report logfile? | 11:26 |
| joaopinto | myconid, sudo logs to syslog by default | 11:26 |
| Hew | sonaquela, joaopinto: software from getdeb is not supported. The version of amsn that comes with Ubuntu should be fine. | 11:26 |
| Slart | Hew: didn't amsn had some problems with icq ? | 11:27 |
| neko_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/38461/ | 11:27 |
| joaopinto | Hew, are you sure that the version of amsn on the repositories is fine ? That is not what some users have been reporting | 11:27 |
| Slart | neko_: did you install something called Lokkit? | 11:28 |
| myron | it seems that before the sudo error message in syslog, there is: Aug 18 06:25:01 ubuntu CRON[7084]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) | 11:28 |
| neko_ | yep i had a try with it as well | 11:28 |
| myron | afterwards it closes | 11:28 |
| Slart | neko_: did you uninstall it? | 11:28 |
| Hew | Slart, I'm not sure, I haven't used amsn for some time, but if there is a known issue there should be a bug report on it and a solution being worked on. | 11:28 |
| myron | and then the sudo errors | 11:28 |
| neko_ | yep | 11:28 |
| Hew | joaopinto: what are users reporting? | 11:28 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | hi... any recommendations for tools so help me trace through code? i.e. i'm looking at C source, and i want to be able to go from a function to its definition, hopping between different files, #defines, etc | 11:28 |
| neko_ | i try to purge it | 11:28 |
| Slart | neko_: try the same thing there.. "sudo apt-get install lokkit; sudo apt-get purge lokkit" | 11:28 |
| neko_ | okey | 11:29 |
| helpy | !clone | 11:29 |
| Slart | pvh_sa|wrk: some kind of IDE? anjuta perhaps.. or eclipse | 11:29 |
| neko_ | i get it | 11:29 |
| 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 | 11:29 |
| neko_ | i will do this for all the tools i have try | 11:29 |
| myron | what process could I close relating to hte pam_unix error message to see if its causing my sudo error | 11:29 |
| Slart | neko_: yes.. lets hope that fixes it | 11:29 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | Slart, i'll try both - which is the more "light weight" ? | 11:29 |
| Hew | Slart, joaopinto: I can't see any significant problems reported for amsn. | 11:29 |
| neko_ | that's a pity it didn't purge correctly with uninstall them | 11:30 |
| Slart | pvh_sa|wrk: I would say anjuta is more light weight | 11:30 |
| Hew | sonaquela: what is the problem you are having with amsn login? | 11:30 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | thanks Slart | 11:30 |
| Slart | Hew: I know pidgin had some problems with icq.. and I think amsn had one at the same time.. something about servers changing or protocol changes | 11:30 |
| Hew | Slart: I remember hearing about an ICQ problem in Pidgin, but looking at open amsn bugs atm, and there is nothing there. | 11:31 |
| helpy | i have a strange problem with my ubuntu | 11:32 |
| Slart | Hew: they might have fixed it.. I know it's fixed in pidgin since a couple of weeks | 11:32 |
| helpy | sound works sometimes, other times i have to restart it to work | 11:33 |
| helpy | any idea ? | 11:33 |
| neko_ | Slart: last reboot | 11:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | helpy: its probably a pulse audio issue... | 11:33 |
| helpy | huh ? | 11:33 |
| helpy | how do i fix that indy ? | 11:33 |
| joaopinto | Hew, I was confused with another amsn issue which happened on a previous release, please ignore me :P | 11:33 |
| helpy | its really a pain when i am in a conference call | 11:33 |
| helpy | i can't play videos | 11:34 |
| Hew | Slart: Yea, that's good news :-). In any case, my point earlier was that we shouldn't be recommending getdeb as a solution here. | 11:34 |
| helpy | i mean without voice | 11:34 |
| neko_ | Slart: but the purge thing seems to have restore rules, hope the output haven't lie :) | 11:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | helpy: the easiest way, is to switch all your apps and sound preferences, over to alsa | 11:34 |
| helpy | btw if no has read that yet, AdobeAir has launched alpha version for linux :) | 11:34 |
| helpy | i am already on alsa indy | 11:34 |
| evilgnome | does anyone know how to get a minimal ubuntu installation? the help.ubuntu site says to use the alternate install CD, and then choose to "Install a command-line system" -- but that is not on option on the alternate install CD I've downloaded from ubuntu's site... any help would be appreciated | 11:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | helpy: then i don't know what the prob could be. | 11:34 |
| helpy | my sound also doesnt work in SecondLife | 11:34 |
| joaopinto | Hew, and what if the user requests a package which is not available on the repositories ? | 11:34 |
| bazhang | !minimal | 11:35 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:35 |
| bazhang | evilgnome, ^^ | 11:35 |
| Slart | Hew: I agree about the getdeb thing | 11:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | joaopinto: well, you'd have to compile it from source i guess... | 11:35 |
| evilgnome | bazhang: perfect, thanks | 11:35 |
| Slart | neko_: hehe.. lets hope | 11:35 |
| ale22944 | hi all! I've got a new problem with ubuntu 7.10 =( yesterday I've connected an external monitor (I've got an Nvidia Geforce Go7300) and everything worked well. Now after reboot of my computer it's impossible to modify screen resolution and my laptop recognise only 640x480! The configuration utility doesn't wor anymore! please help!! | 11:35 |
| joaopinto | IndyGunFreak, how does that turn better than getdeb :), specially for an non experienced user ? | 11:36 |
| Hew | joaopinto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages | 11:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | joaopinto: i thought you said no package was available.. if its on getdeb, you can try getting it there | 11:36 |
| joaopinto | Hew, I am aware of the process, that does not provide an answer for an end user ;) | 11:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | but i've had mixed results w/ getdeb | 11:36 |
| Hew | joaopinto: If they ask specifically for something that is not in the Ubuntu repos, but is at getdeb, I suppose that is fine, but it's still not supported | 11:36 |
| evilgnome | bazhang: I looked at that page before, but it doesn't have a CRUCIAL fact that you mentioned: "allowing you to select │@FloodBot1 | 11:36 |
| bullgard4 | What is the reason that one Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer has got a process acpid but another Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer not? | 11:36 |
| evilgnome | oops | 11:37 |
| bazhang | hehe | 11:37 |
| evilgnome | well it doesn't say you can choose the packages | 11:37 |
| neko_ | Slart: hurray ! it works, thanks a lot for the purge tip | 11:37 |
| evilgnome | but you definitely can? | 11:37 |
| Hew | joaopinto: For amsn at least they should not be directed there, as the version in Hardy should do the job, but there is also a version in Intrepid if they need to be on the cutting edge. | 11:37 |
| joep01 | Goodafternoon. Does anybody know where the backports for Breezy have gone. I want to upgrade but it complains about not finding the sites. | 11:37 |
| bazhang | evilgnome, you have to :) things like xserver are a bit of a necessity | 11:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | joep01: there's almost no way thats gonna work.. you're gonna have to clean install | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | joep01: well breezy is not supported anymore iirc | 11:38 |
| bazhang | joep01, breezy is eol for a long time now | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | !breezy | 11:38 |
| bazhang | !eol | 11:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details. | 11:38 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | bazhang: nice timing ;D | 11:39 |
| bazhang | erUSUL, jinx :) | 11:39 |
| joep01 | YEs. I found out. However, I have a disk (64-bit) with ubuntu 7. Does this means to install over the old breezy?? | 11:39 |
| Slart | neko_: you're welcome.. glad it helped | 11:39 |
| bazhang | joep01, back up what files you have to then install | 11:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | joep01: it would probably be easier to just go straight to Ubuntu 8.04(current version)... but you can do as you please | 11:40 |
| erUSUL | joep01: yep backup important data and clean install of a current version | 11:40 |
| BlackDex | hello there.. | 11:40 |
| BlackDex | how can i add and/or remove locales? | 11:40 |
| joep01 | bazhang: and IndyGunFreak; Yes I think I will do that. But do I have to clear the whole partition or does ubuntu install over the old one? | 11:41 |
| BlackDex | and how can i add/generate all locales? | 11:41 |
| erUSUL | BlackDex: system<Admin>Language support ? | 11:41 |
| bazhang | joep01, will install over | 11:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | joep01: you could tell it to install over it, that wouldn't be a problem, you just need to make sure your important iles are backed up | 11:41 |
| joep01 | IndyGunFreak: Well that's no problem. I'll try that. It's a Windows system but I have it as a dual boot configured. | 11:43 |
| damien | just wondering if someone could help me how do i change my res , on ubuntu? | 11:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | joep01: ok, just make sure you configure it to overwrite your Breezy partition, and not the whoel drive, and you shoudl be fine. | 11:44 |
| BlackDex | erUSUL: I don't think that is what i mean | 11:45 |
| BlackDex | i just need to add the locales | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | BlackDex: then you are asking for the olg sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales?? | 11:45 |
| BlackDex | like, locale-gen etc.. | 11:45 |
| damien | does anyone no how to change the res on the screen in unbuntu 8. | 11:45 |
| joep01 | IndyGunFreak: Thanks. I'll do that. I sign off and let the channel to to others as I have other work to do. Tahnks again for the help. | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | joep01: what i would do, is boot up a live CD, and use Gparted to delete your existing Linux partitions(swap, /, et all).. then download the 8.04 alt. install CD, and when it cgets to the partition part, tell it to "Use unallocated space"... and it wil setup that unallocated space automatically | 11:46 |
| erUSUL | BlackDex: http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/237 | 11:46 |
| damien | ?? | 11:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | joep01: just make sure when you delete them, you leave them unallocated, and the text installer will do that perfectly. | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | damien: gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 11:47 |
| damien | how do i do that , im new to ubuntu im used to windows xp | 11:47 |
| damien | its a bit confussing | 11:47 |
| joep01 | IndyGunFreak: Yes I got that. Thanks again. I'l be later back as I now have some work to do. Cheers. | 11:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | damien: type that line that erUSUL just told you, in a terminal.. (gksudo displayconfig-gtk) then hit enter | 11:48 |

| cretsiah | no i gave up on it for awhile but i like mint very much currently on puppy (i seem to have less issues with it ) | 12:13 |

| bullgard4 | What is the reason that one Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer has got a process acpid but another Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer not? Both are using ACPI. | 12:14 |
| mduara | hateball, that is how it look like | 12:14 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, he seems to be on puppy | 12:14 |
| myron | should pam_unix entries be in syslog by default? | 12:15 |
| hateball | mduara: It doesnt seem like you've specified a user to run it as? | 12:15 |
| shah | Pirate_Hunter: i'll try on my own using "man interfaces" if that wont help.. i'll reach u, with X.. :) | 12:15 |
| bazhang | cretsiah, best to get www.ubuntu.com the real thing and we will help; mint is not supported here | 12:15 |
| mduara | hateball, how to specify it | 12:16 |
| cretsiah | id like to be running mint .........can u still get the lower versions of ubuntu??? dont like gnome or 8.04 | 12:16 |
| bazhang | cretsiah, btw, your problem is that you have two apt programs open at the same time; close one and try again | 12:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | shah: we can do eitherway im just trying to make your life easier "as long as you know you dns server, d gateway, current ip address, subnet mask etc" im all good to go but yeah you could try following man pages | 12:16 |
| bazhang | cretsiah, well then you need to ask in mint support channels; ie not here. | 12:16 |
| cretsiah | even when i try closing 1 the other doesnt show up any where for it to be closed and it happens even with a reboot | 12:17 |
| mduara | hateball, the current user is others and it is there on the path | 12:17 |

| dejavou42 | should I have entries such as Pam_unix in syslog by default? | 12:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | shah: ok lol | 12:18 |
| cretsiah | <fine ubuntu seems as bad as windows will not be back.......i had the real thing "UBUNTU" SAME PROBLEM | 12:18 |
| hateball | mduara: well a correct one would look like: * * * * * root /path/to/file. Where root is the username you want... that'd be all | 12:19 |

| Pirate_Hunter | shah: have you got interfaces open? if so remove iface eth0 inet dhcp and add iface eth0 inet static in its place | 12:20 |
| Imperion | why am I getting this error? apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} | 12:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | shah: here are the examples what you must add underneath it - address 192.168.1.100, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.254 and optional if it applies to you - network 192.168.1.0, broadcast 192.168.1.255 | 12:22 |

| ikonia | sledgeas: you can run sshd on the desktop livecd | 12:32 |
| ikonia | sledgeas: you don't need the alternative CD to run ssh | 12:32 |
| hateball | mduara: Well I dont know what could be wrong in your case... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38474/ is a copy paste from my /etc/crontab. You could compare it to yours. Does the job have to run as "others" ? If so you could add to the users crontab instead. I prefer using root in /etc/crontab personally | 12:33 |
| sledgeas | ikonia: but i need ssh to run a text-based setup, not that one on a GUI | 12:34 |

| stevemccarthy | Impy^: have you installed ccsm? | 13:06 |
| Impy^ | i'm not sure? when i type ccsm in terminal it loads up all the compiz options | 13:06 |
| Impy^ | should i try picking none visual effects from appearence preferences? | 13:07 |
| Impy^ | that works stevemccarthy! | 13:07 |
| stevemccarthy | Impy^: think you have then. go to General > Commands > Screenshot key bindings | 13:07 |
| Impy^ | looks like it's ccsm :) | 13:07 |
| lunatikk | opengl is not activated, how can i activate it? | 13:07 |
| Impy^ | i turned off all compiz stuff and now the screenshot thing works :o | 13:07 |
| hateball | lunatikk: If you have a nVidia or ATI card you might need to enable restricted drivers | 13:08 |
| stevemccarthy | Impy^: ok probably sucks to not use desktop effects tho | 13:08 |
| lunatikk | they are already enabled | 13:08 |
| Impy^ | yeah i'll have a poke around and see if i can find out what else is using that button | 13:08 |
| Impy^ | thanks for your help! :D | 13:08 |

| adakos | I have a lovely headles subuntu server running with the 8.04 distro of the server client, and I am using Gnumps to stream video and music on my lan. - but since the internet connection is slow, i was wondering if ther was a away to transcode the video as requested/on the fly to FLV and stream it that way, instead of AVI, so i could show my coworkers movies of my nephew | 13:17 |

| erbi_ | what windows manager do yall use? | 13:27 |
| MuH4hA | tenbytes: have a look at this site http://xwinman.org/ | 13:27 |
| tenbytes | ok | 13:27 |
| tenbytes | what would you recommend for--1gb--about ~850mhz amd duron | 13:29 |
| tenbytes | 1gb ram | 13:29 |
| _Garfield_ | does anybody have some time to help me with a kernel compile | 13:30 |

| nagyv | hello! how can I regenerate the system ssh keys? (both rsa and dsa) | 13:33 |
| MuH4hA | tenbytes: that's no bad idea. Just try a few of them and take the one, you like best - 1 gb ram and 850 Mhz isn't that bad, so without 3D-Effects etc, most of them should work fine... | 13:33 |
| Osx5 | I was just wondering if anyone knew what the measurements are on these powered by stickers, I'm trying to make a powered by linux one for my linux box I'm building. | 13:34 |

| Pirate_Hunter | _Garfield_: if i remember write the options should be made when doing make or whatever language/compiler youre using "youll have to investigate on the package your compiling" | 13:36 |

| g[r]eek | Hi I have installed openssh-server - how do I enable root login via ssh? | 13:38 |
| g[r]eek | <g[r]eek> If I'm working on the actual server I can use: sudo su to change to root user (it prompts me for password). If i try ssh into the server with user root and type in the same password it denies me access | 13:38 |
| _Garfield_ | Pirate_Hunter: the problem is that my disk is a 2GB CF card and when I compile the custom kernel the folder goes up to 1,3 GB but then my card is full. Is this foldersize normal? | 13:38 |
| sledgeas | hello everyone | 13:38 |
| sipior | g[r]eek: at the risk of sounding rude: do you *really* want to do that? | 13:39 |
| sledgeas | how can i launched a text-based install once connected to a booted liveCD and a launched ssh there? | 13:39 |
| lore20 | g[r]eek, it's not a good idea enable root access, however you have to edit conf files in /etc | 13:39 |
| soundray | g[r]eek: don't enable root login via ssh. Login as user, then get a shell with root rights with 'sudo -i' | 13:39 |
| sledgeas | s/a launched/via launched | 13:39 |
| Dan3ub | Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) | 13:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | _Garfield_: no clue i dont compile kernels ask again in 10min someone else might be able to help you | 13:39 |
| soundray | !rootshell | g[r]eek | 13:39 |
| ubottu | g[r]eek: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 13:39 |
| _Garfield_ | Pirate_Hunter: ok thanks | 13:39 |
| lore20 | g[r]eek, and root user must have a password (sudo passwd to set up it) | 13:40 |
| g[r]eek | aha that's it | 13:40 |
| soundray | lore20: please don't recommend that here | 13:40 |
| g[r]eek | forgot to set root user's password | 13:40 |
| tenbytes | ah icewm isn't bad | 13:40 |
| g[r]eek | thanks lore20 | 13:40 |
| soundray | g[r]eek: it's not safe to enable root access like that | 13:40 |
| dmurphy | \q | 13:40 |
| tenbytes | i just love how each window managers loads different programs in the start menu haha | 13:40 |
| lore20 | soundf_, ok, im sorry | 13:40 |
| tenbytes | now i can't find certain things | 13:40 |
| lore20 | g[r]eek, using sudo is better then enabling root access | 13:40 |
| vladimir_ | Is it possible to automatically boot lvm encrypted ubuntu, without the need to enter passphrase on boot? my root is encrypted? | 13:40 |
| vladimir_ | i mean, my root is encryoted, | 13:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tenbytes: for each windows manager you need to set it up the way you want the ubuntu for icewm is quite indepth and easy to understand | 13:41 |
| vladimir_ | encrypted. but i do want it to boot without user intervention | 13:41 |
| soundray | vladimir_: I don't understand -- what's the point in encrypting root, if you then enable non-interactive booting? | 13:41 |
| sipior | i was wondering that as well... | 13:41 |
| tenbytes | do you have a website with a tutorial on "set it up" | 13:42 |
| vladimir_ | i want to secure my ubuntu server, that the users won't have access to it, by any means | 13:42 |
| sipior | vladimir_: unless they physically get hold of the machine :-) | 13:42 |
| tenbytes | vladimir_, disconnect your internet | 13:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tenbytes: if you search in google "ubuntu icewm" without the quotes youll find many good tuts "i surely did" | 13:43 |
| vladimir_ | no, the server is installed at some remote location, where users do have physical access to the unit | 13:43 |
| soundray | vladimir_: do or don't? | 13:43 |
| sledgeas | ikonia: looks like it is not possible to launch a text-based install from liveCD | 13:43 |
| vladimir_ | do | 13:43 |
| deepfriedsquirre | HI | 13:43 |
| vladimir_ | they users have physical access to the unit, which i want to secure | 13:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | vladimir_: you sound similar to someone that wanted the same thing even encrypting the whole partition | 13:43 |
| sipior | vladimir_: those two statements are basically contradictory :-) | 13:44 |
| dvs | isnt there a way to change boot order from a gui ? | 13:44 |
| dromer_ | hi all, having some problems with pulseaudie | 13:44 |
| Dan3ub | Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) | 13:44 |
| phill | hei to all | 13:44 |
| dvs | oh .. morning everyone | 13:44 |
| dromer_ | when I try to start I get: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL equalized | 13:44 |
| vladimir_ | no, seriously, is that not possible at all? | 13:44 |
| arvind_khadri | !hi | phill | 13:45 |
| ubottu | phill: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:45 |
| soundray | vladimir_: if your users have physical access, then you can either encrypt root and prevent anyone who doesn't have the password from booting it, or you have to give each user the passphrase. | 13:45 |
| nagyv | hello! how can I regenerate the system ssh keys? I've run ssh-keygen -t rsa, but the resulting fingerprint is still blacklisted by ssh-vulnkey | 13:45 |
| vladimir_ | no, it's a server, that scans emails for them | 13:45 |
| sipior | vladimir_: what specific threat are you attempting to defend against? | 13:45 |
| dvs | is there a way to change boot order from a gui ? | 13:45 |
| vladimir_ | i don't want them to touch it at all | 13:45 |
| vladimir_ | it's should work as black box | 13:45 |
| vladimir_ | you turn it on, it works, you want to mess with it - you can't | 13:46 |
| Qball | nagyv: just a wild guess dpkg-reconfigure ssh-kernel-server | 13:46 |
| Qball | ? | 13:46 |
| Dan3ub | Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) | 13:46 |
| === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw | ||
| arvind_khadri | vladimir_, remove all their user accounts and secure it...thats what you want i guess | 13:46 |
| soundray | vladimir_: okay, you still need someone at that location who you entrust with the passphrase so they can boot it. | 13:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dvs: huh? what does that even mean "is there a way to change boot order from a gui ?" | 13:47 |
| zidoh | I'm trying to use Ubuntu on Acer Aspire One, I've followed the guide on http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=164&st=0&sk=t&sd=a - network manager attempts to look for wireless networks, but it doesn't find any (there are about 3-4 around here now), and iwlist scan doesn't find any either.. any ideas on what to do? | 13:47 |
| nagyv | Qball: I have no such package. Actually, the machine is still running on Feisty. | 13:47 |
| vladimir_ | no, not good enough. | 13:47 |
| nagyv | Qball: I've tried dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server and openssh-client, but it didn't work | 13:47 |
| sipior | vladimir_: if it can be rebooted, the machine can easily be owned. that's not a great deal to be done about that. | 13:48 |
| vladimir_ | the encryption is to secure my programs on the server, so noone can take the hdd out and look through the files | 13:48 |
| dvs | Pirate_Hunter: well what i really want to do is exclude a couple of the options from the grub boot menu.. but i thought when poking around the system that i saw a way to change the grub options from within gnome .. not in a terminal | 13:48 |
| mespejel | hi i just install ubuntu, i want to check if i select the swap partition correctly, cause i cant remember if i select it or not.. how can i check how much im using for swap? | 13:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | vladimir_: do you even realise what your saying please take time to read all your posts and what ppl have recommended your going in circles | 13:48 |
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, it means that he wants to change menu.lst without using the CLI ... there is a app for that.. | 13:49 |
| soundray | vladimir_: look at it that way: in order to boot, it needs to be decrypted. For encryption to make sense, you need a passphrase for decryption. If you don't have the passphrase, it can't be booted. | 13:49 |
| nagyv | mespejel: under your System menu you can find a system monitoring tool. It will tell you how much memory you use. | 13:49 |
| tenbytes | hrm | 13:49 |
| stevemcc | mespejel: look in gnome-system-monitor | 13:50 |
| tenbytes | can't find the source for iceconf for hardy | 13:50 |
| Slart | mespejel: try "swapon -s" in a terminal | 13:50 |
| dvs | arvind_khadri: yeah thankx | 13:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dvs: /boot/grub/menu.lst thats where you change grub options but becareful if you mess it up "always backup" | 13:50 |
| tenbytes | i mean sources | 13:50 |
| mespejel | thank you guys | 13:50 |
| tenbytes | to download | 13:50 |
| mespejel | yeah i did it correctly.. 4gb swap.. its good i guess? if i have 2gig of ram | 13:51 |
| torgrimt_ | that was the old rule of thumb | 13:51 |
| arvind_khadri | dvs, yeah you should be looking for startup-manager | 13:51 |
| torgrimt_ | memory x 2.5 | 13:51 |
| torgrimt_ | but.. today its not really nessasary | 13:51 |
| Slart | mespejel: more than enough | 13:51 |
| Dan3ub | Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) | 13:51 |
| vladimir_ | can i hardcode the password into grub and lock down the grub menu so it cannot be edited ? | 13:51 |
| sipior | mespejel: plenty. with 2 gigs of ram you'll rarely swap anyhow, but disk space is so cheap these days... | 13:51 |
| torgrimt_ | and if you application eats up 4gb of swap.. your machine is uselss | 13:51 |
| torgrimt_ | 512mb is also more then enough | 13:52 |
| torgrimt_ | i would rather have the kernel kill a prosess that eats up so much memory...then let it trash it to uselessnes ;) | 13:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tenbytes: some of the tuts are otudated and you wont find some packages they recommend if icewm is installed than you have everything now you need to copy the files into your home area so you can edit them the way you like it... look for the ubuntu icewm tutorial | 13:52 |
| soundray | vladimir_: no | 13:53 |
| arvind_khadri | soundray, i thought yes..am not sure though ... | 13:54 |
| vladimir_ | :) ok 10x alot | 13:54 |
| soundray | vladimir_: the kind of security you are asking for does not exist | 13:54 |
| dromer_ | how can I fix pulseaudio? I keep getting this: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL equalized | 13:54 |

| Bruno_F | i can't hear anything in Audacity. i have installed linux fairly recently and i don't think i touched anything from default config (ubuntu). Any idea what it could be? All the sound works on other applications (but for some reason two applications can't run with sound at the same time, that is another thing i'd like to fix) | 13:56 |
| dromer_ | sipior: how can I get sound then? | 13:56 |
| sipior | wako: looks like you could modify the file /etc/init.d/ushare that it's complaining about, fix the string quoting and try again. | 13:57 |
| arvind_khadri | soundray, i think i had read of it somewhere...am not sure about it thats what i said... | 13:57 |
| wako | sipior, what would I change the string to? | 13:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712&postcount=472 | 13:57 |
| sipior | wako: i've no idea. fix the quoting that the error message complains about. probably means a quotation mark was left off. | 13:58 |

| ari_stress | ikonia: is there any way i can know that i'm downloading the correct cd from the filename of the iso? | 14:09 |
| _Garfield_ | ah you need to add the keyword blacklist too? | 14:09 |

| ikonia | ari_stress: go to http://www.ubuntu.com and download the alternative CD | 14:09 |
| ed__ | sorry i did something wrong | 14:09 |
| _Garfield_ | sipior: thanks dude, I'm going to try that right away | 14:09 |
| ikonia | ari_stress: then you know you havce the correct one | 14:09 |
| ikonia | sipior: good spot | 14:09 |
| Insane1 | ari_stress: And make sure to check the md5sum after you download. | 14:10 |
| sipior | ikonia: thanks, the coffee must finally be taking hold for me | 14:10 |
| ari_stress | ikonia: it gives me this: ftp://dl2.foss-id.web.id/iso/ubuntu/releases/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso is the alternate the same as server? | 14:11 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about install php | 14:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !php | 14:13 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:13 |

| wako | wruand, I try that and nothing happens | 14:15 |
| PapaGoose | 000 won't give any read-write privileges, to be unsafe but quick, try mounting it with umask=777 and see if it works | 14:15 |

| ed__ | ok, i didn't know that | 14:17 |
| sipior | robertj: i believe that's a known issue with the linux version of firefox. a mite sensitive to file i/o... | 14:18 |
| ed__ | soundray: is it easy to set up the server ubuntu edition ? | 14:18 |
| soundray | ed__: you'd have to follow the instructions on openerp.com. I recommend installing the desktop version of Ubuntu to get familiar with it. | 14:18 |
| ekimus_ | !ping | 14:18 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 14:18 |
| sipior | funnier when Marvin says it. | 14:18 |
| soundray | ed__: yes, but there is no advantage to using the server edition for your purpose | 14:18 |
| ekimus_ | i forgot my irc commands lol | 14:18 |
| ekimus_ | it's been over a decade | 14:18 |
| joetheodd_ | Hey, I'm trying to use Firefox 3 from the package on an old version of Ubuntu (really old machine, don't ask).. is there a package for libstdc++ or do I have to get that the hard way? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | joetheodd_: simple answer is don't | 14:19 |
| ikonia | joetheodd_: it's not aimed at older versions, if it is, it will be in the backports repo | 14:19 |
| ed__ | soundray, i would like to use it as a fileserver aswell and the erp server making it easy to communicate with an outside computer i guess | 14:19 |
| ekimus_ | I've got a question for ALSA on an amd64-generic kernel | 14:20 |
| joetheodd_ | ikonia, I'm not sure if backports are even around for this version anymore. I used 5.1 I think. | 14:20 |
| PapaGoose | joetheodd_, try this? http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5 | 14:20 |
| joetheodd_ | PapaGoose, thanks I'll check that out. | 14:20 |
| ikonia | joetheodd_: then don't use it | 14:20 |
| joetheodd_ | ikonia, if I can have a new motherboard then I'll upgrade. | 14:20 |
| ed__ | soundray: you still think it is better to use the desktop edition ? | 14:20 |
| joetheodd_ | ikonia, I tried installing the new ubuntu and got an error, "BIOS date too old" | 14:21 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: I get this now http://pastebin.com/m6a0bef6e | 14:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia: let them grow let them grow so they can realise the floor is a long way down | 14:21 |
| ari_stress | PapaGoose: nice nickname :) | 14:21 |
| ekimus_ | well, I'm having problems with the desktop edition... | 14:21 |
| reikalusikka | why can't I always play music? I need to log out and log in | 14:21 |
| reikalusikka | it just doesn't start to play | 14:21 |
| joetheodd_ | reikalusikka, sometimes my alsa gets confused, i do sudo alsa force-reload, then close and reopen my media player | 14:22 |
| reikalusikka | joetheodd_: ok | 14:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: did you change sound options to auto detect, did you follow everthing including downloading getlib? | 14:22 |
| lemon | hi, i have some private data and files and i would like to put them in a pendrive and cifrate it, with what can i do it? | 14:22 |
| ari_stress | lemon: cifrate? | 14:22 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: I don't know where to change this, I'm in fluxbox | 14:22 |
| dromer_ | I don't use gnome | 14:22 |
| PapaGoose | lemon: what do you mean cifrate? | 14:22 |
| PapaGoose | do you mean encrypt or password protect? | 14:23 |
| reikalusikka | didn't work :( | 14:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: oh you didnt say that before hmmmm... give me a sec | 14:23 |
| lemon | ari_stress: how do you say in english when you want to make difficult to read a document, lock? | 14:23 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: getlib is for 64bit isn't it? (guide says so) | 14:23 |
| PapaGoose | reikalusikka, i've heard good things about pulseaudio for managing sound, not sure if that'll fix the problem or not but it could be worth looking into | 14:24 |
| lemon | PapaGoose: encrypt | 14:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: no it works on both | 14:24 |
| reikalusikka | PapaGoose: ok | 14:24 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: I did say I wasn't in gnome ;) | 14:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: oh sorry i wasnt around than and didnt tell you | 14:24 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: 1a. 64bit/amd64 users only: | 14:24 |
| ed__ | soundray: thanks for the help, i'm off ... see you next time | 14:24 |
| reikalusikka | hmm, it started work when I reloaded rhytmbox one more time | 14:24 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: if I need to I will install the getlibs stuff | 14:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: are you sure you followed those instructions well cause if you did there was a getlib.deb file you had to download | 14:25 |
| LOWER_CASE | Hi, I added rw and simplified other options to "UUID=48A0-EFEA /media/CASE vfat rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0", but still mounts as read-only on insertion. Ideas? | 14:25 |

| Skyrail | Hey, I'm using recordmydesktop to record...well my desktop, but I want to record the login screen as well, can I run recordmydesktop on tty1 on the command line and set it to record what's on tty7? Or will the connection break when I logout? If I can select which display to record on, how can I do that? | 14:25 |
| ikonia | LOWER_CASE: is it mounted read only - or just as the wrong user | 14:26 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: hmm, I don't see it anywhere except at the 64bit section | 14:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone tell me how to call sound options from terminal? | 14:26 |

| mike_ | Snarkster I got that problem but then I switched to Opera and it's better | 14:27 |
| Skyrail | It's just that I'm trying to record installing emerald and then applying a theme but I have to restart X in order for it to apply the themes | 14:27 |
| hateball | Skyrail: If it's for demonstration purposes you could always install a virtual machine and record that... ;) | 14:27 |
| LOWER_CASE | ikonia, looking at /media/ after an insertion, CASE is owned by me and my group. | 14:27 |
| snarkster | mike_ hmm opera?? i dont like opera | 14:27 |
| ikonia | LOWER_CASE: and what does mount show - does it show ro | 14:27 |
| mike_ | Does anyone know how to restore missing shutdown buttons? | 14:28 |
| Skyrail | hateball: I had thought about a vm, I shall look into it again, I installed..vmbox is it? But it had something missing | 14:28 |
| ikonia | mike_: its normally a theme issue | 14:28 |

| jorgenpt | Hi. I'm having issues with 'shut down' not turning off my computer; it shows the Ubuntu power-off 'splash' (where the progress-bar decreases), and afterwards it shows a black terminal with some stuff about CIFS VFS. It hangs there; any tips on what I can do to get more verbose output on what's happening, or debug it? | 14:28 |
| LOWER_CASE | ikonia: it's bizarre: "/dev/sdg1 on /media/CASE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=homer)" | 14:28 |
| snarkster | mike_ you just /msg <username> | 14:29 |
| ikonia | LOWER_CASE: ok - so thats read/write, which on paper is good | 14:29 |
| hateball | Skyrail: VirtualBox probably. And I'm sure how great it'd work since you'd have no hardware acceleration for compiz/emerald | 14:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: the file you need is http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb and install gnome-control-center believe me it will come in handy | 14:29 |
| ikonia | LOWER_CASE: so if you do "touch /media/CASE/test1" what happens | 14:29 |
| dromer_ | Pirate_Hunter: hmmm | 14:29 |
| Skyrail | hateball: mhmm, okay, well I'll look into it, thanks =] | 14:29 |
| hateball | Skyrail: But I guess you could record parts on one machine and then just the login screen on the virtual machine and cut it in something like avidemux | 14:29 |

| JohnDoe | soundray i will do a reboot hope i find my way back to here | 14:52 |
| soundray | JohnDoe: it's possible. Rebooting would be one way to find out whether you had just removed it from the running session, or whether you have disabled it permanently | 14:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | dromer_: did you even logout? | 14:52 |
| Ezra-358f | theblue: I'm not the expert, (My dad is) but you should be able to use nautilus and change /'s access properties, also, there is a command (Someone help me on this).. | 14:52 |

| riddlebox | threedee, I put it in and the use totem to play it | 15:14 |
| Kvasten^ | riddlebox But how to know what ubuntu i got? | 15:14 |
| IdleOne | threedee, put in tray and it should auto load | 15:14 |
| soundray | boGGdy: run 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if you can identify your Vista partition. | 15:15 |
| Kvasten^ | riddlebox i know i got 8.04 | 15:15 |
| maltron | I should add that the ipod is charging, it's just not being recognised as a drive, nor can I use Amarok to put music on it as I usually do | 15:15 |
| soundray | boGGdy: there should be a name like /dev/sda1 -- what is it?? | 15:15 |
| riddlebox | Kvasten^, then you have hardy | 15:15 |
| Ezra-358f | riddlebox: AAAAAAHHHH! TOTEM! KILLIT! Use Rhythmbox or VLC! | 15:15 |
| Kvasten^ | riddlebox ok thx :) | 15:16 |

| soundray | !envy | riddlebox, Kvasten^ | 15:16 |
| ubottu | riddlebox, Kvasten^: 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 | 15:16 |
| riddlebox | Ezra-358f, I actually use mplayer from cli, but I figured if he was asking that question he should use the default | 15:16 |

| boGGdy | soundray: /dev/sda2 | 15:18 |
| wols | Ziaeon: <dpkg> the reason you have to use dpkg --force-confmiss is because whenever your config files (<conffiles>) are gone, | 15:18 |
| wols | dpkg assumes you deleted them on purpose, and that you want them to stay deleted. You can also reinstall them | 15:18 |
| wols | using the following apt-get line: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install | 15:18 |
| soundray | boGGdy: okay, now do a 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' | 15:18 |

| trakinas | anyone ever had anyproblem with gnome listen not oppening? | 15:22 |
| soundray | spt_49: that sounds really nice. I guess it's faster when you have a wifi rather than a bluetooth connection between your computer and your phone. | 15:23 |
| riddlebox | Kvasten^, I only use nvidia, I have always had problems with ATI | 15:23 |
| boGGdy | soundray: I'm not sure I got it right, because (hd0,2) seems to be linux | 15:23 |
| spt_49 | yes it is much faster, when i would teather over BT it would be really slow, the wifi hotspot is so much faster | 15:23 |
| riddlebox | soundray, have you tethered a moto q before? | 15:23 |

| Gnea | trakinas: oh, you didn't ask if you could PM me. | 15:47 |
| Gnea | trakinas: besides, you need to register with freenode services to do that. | 15:47 |

| Bubuls | hi there | 15:51 |
| lesshaste | sn0rlax, ?? | 15:52 |
| sn0rlax | lesshaste: message was meant for frybye | 15:52 |
| amenado | frybye-> do not store backup on same disk | 15:52 |
| frybye | sn0rlax: my scenario is as follows.. I spend a weekend modding and tweaking ubuntu to run properly on a eeepc701 - and then I see a script that is suppose to be able to get the thing to run at the correct 900Mhz instead of at a relatively lame 650Mhz.. | 15:52 |
| Phantomas | can you please tell me how can i download multiple files from an http server? i tried putting a wildcard with wget but it says it is not supported? | 15:52 |
| soundray | frybye: /home tends to contain the data that you can't replace by doing a simple reinstallation | 15:53 |
| Bubuls | can someone help me with amarok player? it does'nt save my settings | 15:53 |
| DgrMouse | does anyone know how to rebuild a software raid 5? | 15:53 |
| Gnea | Phantomas: wget --help <-- options exist which allow such a thing to occur | 15:53 |
| frybye | I activate the script the eeepc erupts into a hell of a mess and the total data is fried.. normally I need an image of the partition at that moment or..? | 15:53 |
| bazhang | frybye, the google script? | 15:53 |
| soundray | frybye: or you do a clean reinstallation | 15:53 |
| frybye | and with partimage it says for some reason that it is going to take 8+ hours to write the image.. | 15:53 |
| spt_49 | can we use empathy on the current ubuntu instead of pidgin? | 15:53 |
| Gnea | trakinas: you're on hardy? | 15:54 |
| trakinas | Gnea: yes. | 15:54 |
| atlef | frybye: get the cpuscaling script from this location : http://www.complexity.org/eeebuntu/ | 15:54 |
| frybye | right I did a clean install and the mods and everything again took a bout 12 hours by second time round.. | 15:54 |
| trakinas | Gnea: ops! no... 7.10 | 15:54 |
| Gnea | trakinas: did gnome listen *ever* show up correctly? | 15:54 |
| Gnea | ah | 15:54 |
| trakinas | Gnea: keep getting confused with the names. | 15:54 |
| sn0rlax | frybye: ah | 15:54 |
| trakinas | Gnea: no, fresh install | 15:54 |
| Gnea | trakinas: you should do a system update/upgrade and then upgrade to 8.04.1 | 15:55 |
| sn0rlax | frybye: i would just tar up the fs and copy to another box on the network instead of making an image of the partition | 15:55 |
| trakinas | spt_49: you can use whatever you want, i think,,, | 15:55 |
| Gnea | trakinas: i'm showing gnome listen working just fine in hardy | 15:55 |
| sn0rlax | frybye: you can always manually untar it to a clean ext3/xfs/whatever fs | 15:55 |
| sn0rlax | frybye: and then re-install grub | 15:55 |
| spt_49 | trakinas: haha thanks, thats what i figured, but thought i would ask, i see it will be in the new 7.10 release | 15:55 |
| trakinas | Gnea: alright! apt-get upgrade for the win, then. or should it be dist-upgrade? | 15:55 |
| trakinas | spt_49: 7.10? we are on 8.smth... 7.10 is the past. =P | 15:56 |
| frybye | ok - i must look into this when a more experianced linux pal of mine is around here.. thanks for the tip... | 15:56 |
| spt_49 | trakinas: sorry, yes you are correct i ment to say 8:10 | 15:56 |
| Phantomas | Gnea: is the recursive download the option you said? | 15:56 |
| trakinas | spt_49: i was teasing. ;] | 15:56 |
| spt_49 | hah | 15:57 |
| frybye | atlef: how does one use that cupscaleing script.. and is it ok for the 701 4G eeepc or some other one? | 15:57 |
| spt_49 | its all good | 15:57 |
| Gnea | trakinas: best way, to make sure, is to use the upgrade manager (but yes, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade will do the same thing) | 15:57 |
| Gnea | trakinas: you need to make sure you upgrade all of the gutsy packages *before* you jump to hardy | 15:57 |
| atlef | frybye: 2 sec. | 15:57 |
| elo_ | sup gangstahs | 15:57 |
| frybye | atlef: ok pal... | 15:57 |

| aconbere | I have continuing problems with video output (in mplayer and vlc) vlc will play the video with no sound (and often raise a warning that it's not responding) but doesn't play audio, mplayer freezes on the first frame. | 15:59 |
| Gnea | trakinas: don't want to get done with the upgrade only to find a crippled system, after all :) | 15:59 |
| atlef | frybye: download it somewhere, open terminal, cd to that directory and type sudo sh ./cpuscaling.sh | 15:59 |
| aconbere | I was having problems with video playing very slowly, and it was recommended that I turn on xgl support (which I did) and that helped with some files | 15:59 |
| aconbere | now I'm stuck on some others | 15:59 |
| elo_ | i have had a little MAJOR problem ... i have a laptop with a few partitions on it and all of a sudden during a session of kubuntu the disk became a "read only filesystem" and it stopped writing to it... so i thought that since it's been up 11 days maybe i need a reboot... when i rebooted i cant even get past GRUB i get an error 17. i am running ubuntu live cd right now and it shows my /dev/sda5 partition as an unknown type ... what can i do? | 15:59 |
| trakinas | Gnea: hehe | 16:00 |
| frybye | atlef: does one have to have a special kernel installed...? | 16:00 |

| frybye | atlef: I have to head into town right now - we be back to this theme at some stage... | 16:00 |
| atlef | frybye: which distro is installed | 16:00 |
| Gnea | elo_: at this point, i would google for: grub error 17 | 16:00 |
| mespejel | hi, does someone know how can i set the BIOS compatibility mode? i cant found anything | 16:01 |
| aconbere | the_edge: you would have to have dns supported on the network. | 16:01 |
| frybye | I have the 8:04 with the ricey script run on it... | 16:01 |
| trakinas | the_edge: ssh user@hostname if my memory is working okay today | 16:01 |
| Gnea | mespejel: BIOS compatibility mode for what? | 16:01 |
| soundray | the_edge: by substituting your ip with your hostname | 16:01 |
| mespejel | sorry gnea, wrong room, it was for mac | 16:01 |
| mespejel | im using ubuntu but with macbook | 16:01 |
| Gnea | oh ok :) | 16:01 |
| mespejel | sorry | 16:01 |
| soundray | the_edge: or is your question really how to setup name resolution on a LAN? | 16:02 |
| elo_ | Gnea I did google for it and it advised to go into bios and scan for the disks manually which is not available to me.. | 16:02 |
| elo_ | that's why i am asking here | 16:02 |
| elo_ | kthx | 16:02 |
| frybye | atlef: would that be ok to use this cupscaleing script or..? | 16:02 |
| mespejel | anyone with gparted experience? | 16:02 |
| the_edge | soundray: I guess, one of my machine I can do ssh@mymachine but not the others and I don't know why that machine works | 16:02 |
| soundray | mespejel: don't ask for experience. Describe your problem | 16:03 |
| DgrMouse | what is the command using mdadm to re-create and mount a software raid from another computer? | 16:03 |
| roger_padactor | need to change my hosts file, how do i get into safe mode? | 16:03 |
| atlef | frybye: i use eeebuntu, but i think it would work with any buntu as long as you have the custom kernel for eee | 16:03 |
| Gnea | elo_: oh, you hadn't mentioned that, intially. i'm sure your system has some documentation which could tell you how to access your BIOS. | 16:03 |
| the_edge | trakinas: that only works on one of my machines and I'm not sure why | 16:03 |
| atlef | frybye: you can get the custom kernel here : http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ | 16:04 |
| soundray | the_edge: you can simply add static resolution to all your /etc/hosts files. Alternatively, depending on what router you have, you can set this up to provide DNS. | 16:04 |
| trakinas | the_edge: maybe your ssh is only accepting connections from one peer? | 16:04 |
| velvithammer | "vi /etc hosts | 16:04 |
| soundray | velvithammer: please take more care when you're trying to help | 16:04 |
| roger_padactor | safe mode anyone? | 16:04 |
| velvithammer | k | 16:05 |
| elo_ | Gnea I didnt mention it initially cuz of the max character limit... and i did access my bios but i cant scan for disks ... iw as only able to run a diagnostics test on the hard disk and it passed | 16:05 |
| roger_padactor | my hosts file is mangled and now i cant sudo to change things. | 16:05 |
| frybye | I don't have any special panel.. the sound and webcam and stuff have been fixed with the ricey script - the wlan installed etc.. but that is about it.. the fn-F-keys work etc but? | 16:05 |
| trakinas | roger_padactor: if you mean single user, just boot and chose single user on the grub menu | 16:05 |
| soundray | roger_padactor: boot in recovery mode. It's an option on the grub menu | 16:05 |
| the_edge | trakinas: well it seems that I can ssh to that particular machine (let's call it mach1) from any machine with its hostname | 16:05 |
| roger_padactor | i didn't see it.. ill look again | 16:05 |
| mespejel | Ok, I Just install gparted, I wonder why I cant use the ntfs filesystem to set a new partition.. i mean the option is there but i cant use it... only ext2, ext3, fat16, fat32, reifers and unformated.. i cant use any other option.. why is this? how can i fix this? | 16:05 |
| trakinas | hmmm | 16:06 |
| the_edge | trakinas: and there is nothing special in my hosts file | 16:06 |
| amenado | the_edge it sounds a dns issue or your /etc/hosts entry is not pointing to correct host | 16:06 |
| soundray | the_edge: that probably means that you have a router that resolves mach1 to that machine's IP | 16:06 |
| susscorfa | Hi how can i find out about the fs used on external drive while fdisk -l says the partition table is not valid? | 16:06 |
| atlef | frybye: but this is offtopic, go to thee #eeepc channel | 16:06 |
| frybye | atlef: I will have to go into this in a bit more detail another time.. thanks so much but just realized I have to fly outa here right now.. | 16:06 |

| trakinas | susscorfa: df -h | 16:06 |

| mespejel | i will check it | 16:09 |
| mespejel | thank you | 16:09 |
| the_edge | soundray: because the only difference between mach1 and the other machines is mach1 is running kubuntu 6 or 7 and the other machines are running ubuntu 8.04 | 16:10 |
| soundray | the_edge: it's not the job of your machine to broadcast anything on your LAN -- unless you set it up as a nameserver. You don't want that if there's already a router on your system. | 16:10 |
| DgrMouse | question: I have sda1, sdb1, and sdc1 showing unknown partitions, but I know they are a software raid set. How do I reb uild it to get the data from the raid? | 16:10 |

| elo_ | Gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/38526 also | 16:10 |
| susscorfa | it is a disk with mirroring function soundray | 16:11 |
| Gnea | elo_: hrm. yeah. not sure what happened there. looks like you have an impossible situation on your hands. | 16:11 |
| soundray | susscorfa: you shouldn't format it to anything before partitioning. Is this a brand new drive, or is there data on it? | 16:12 |
| elo_ | is there any way to salvage stuff from my kubuntu files? | 16:12 |
| elo_ | i tried to mount it but it asks me to mention the filesystem also | 16:12 |
| susscorfa | it is new or atleast has no data | 16:12 |

| bmeynell | what's a good sound editing program? I just need to chop up some audio | 16:23 |
| Stickypunch | So, I'm concerned about security on ubuntu since I dont know how it works on it, like I have installed the latest one and keep it updated, but do I have to do anything to make sure their is a firewall? | 16:23 |

| javases | hi guy, don't ask me why but i've done this command : {mount -o bind /dev /home/chroot/dev} now, i can't login to my box and obtain this message : "Server refused to allocate pty"... i've a lot of tty* files in /home/chroot/ and when i do "mount -l" i can see : /dev on /dev type none (rw,bind). I tried to umount this one but already have an error : umount: /dev: device is busy. Thanks for you help | 16:24 |
| LordOfThePigs | atlef: It lists the version of the package, not the version of the kernel modules contained inside the package. | 16:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kraven666: open a terminal and type "alien-arena" no quotes... hit enter, and let it load and shutdown, and see what error you get in the terminal when it shuts down | 16:24 |
| === Coe is now known as Coveen | ||
| LordOfThePigs | atlef: unfortunately... | 16:24 |
| kernando | i have this youtube problem get video but no sound.. one day it was working the next its not... so then i installed a bunch of different web browsers and it worked again... but now it wont work againnnnnn need help :( | 16:24 |
| elo_ | why change partition type Gnea? | 16:24 |
| Gnea | soundray: hrm, let's see here: a) the extended partition is set to contain fat32 filesystems. b) he's got ext3 and linux swap filesystems contained in there. | 16:25 |
| elo_ | liek i said everything was working fine | 16:25 |
| atlef | LordOfThePigs: ok, then you need to ask again, as i do not know more than that | 16:25 |
| Gnea | elo_: yes, but was the partition type of sda2 always set to f? | 16:25 |
| elo_ | how coudl this all of a sudden become the FS of DOOM!? | 16:25 |
| soundray | elo_: unexpected ro remounts happen as an emergency measure when the kernel thinks there's a filesystem inconsistency. I would run "e2fsck -y /dev/sda5" from a live CD or 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot | 16:25 |
| LordOfThePigs | How can I find out which version of alsa is included in linux-backport-modules? | 16:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stickypunch: do you ahve a hardware router/firewall? | 16:26 |
| soundray | Gnea: there is nothing wrong with the way the extended partition is set up. | 16:26 |
| elo_ | ok soundray i'll do that | 16:26 |
| elo_ | which one should i do first? | 16:26 |
| Stickypunch | I have a physical router | 16:26 |
| tabularasa | . | 16:26 |
| Gnea | soundray: enjoy. | 16:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stickypunch: well, it probably has a firewall in it... whats the model on it? . | 16:26 |
| soundray | elo_: it's an either/or. The sudo touch method will check all your Linux filesystems (which in your case amounts to the same) | 16:27 |
| skel | can anyone with a digg account please check out this link and vote for it if you fee its worthy: http://digg.com/software/Open_Source_software_sold_with_violated_GPL_license | 16:27 |
| Stickypunch | so I should use my routers firewall? | 16:27 |
| soundray | Gnea: no, really, I'd like to understand where you see the problem | 16:27 |
| elo_ | uh oh | 16:27 |
| Gnea | !ot | skel | 16:27 |

| bazhang | skel, dont post that here | 16:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stickypunch: usually it will be far better than a software firewall(at least in my opinion).... what model is your router? | 16:27 |
| skel | sorry | 16:27 |

| lenswipe | anyone know why? | 17:04 |
| Zta | bazhang, perhaps I should stick to 32bit. It'll probably give me more support though all those nasty package sources. But isn't it recommended to run 64bit versions on 64bit cpus? | 17:04 |
| lenswipe | i cant start the webrick webserver either | 17:05 |

| brunner | Hi all | 17:25 |
| Myrtti | threedee: are you sure it's not copyprotected CD? | 17:25 |
| Bodsda | threedee, try this, copy a track onto the desktop, then open totem and try to play it | 17:25 |
| threedee | bazhang: I am sure yours can | 17:25 |
| brunner | I got an email today from someone who said, "As you may have heard it is no longer necessary to type dot com at the end of a website."... this is pure nonsense, right? | 17:25 |
| bazhang | threedee, ours are the same :) | 17:25 |
| Slart | brunner: yes | 17:26 |
| Slart | brunner: it's up to the webbrowser.. some browser first try the url as it is.. if it doesn't resolve it tries adding a .com or whatever | 17:26 |
| deserteagle_ | atlef thanks again! :D | 17:26 |
| Gnea | brunner: ROFL | 17:26 |
| threedee | bazhang: you are no understanding my problem - we are NOT the same | 17:26 |
| Bodsda | brunner, it doesnt always work -- eg try paste.ubuntu.com (without the .com) | 17:26 |
| lenswipe | Gnea: you may wish to know that that solution doesnt work | 17:27 |
| bazhang | threedee, did you put in a cd? | 17:27 |
| Slart | brunner: some browsers just input the word in google and show you the resulting page | 17:27 |
| naxa | i am upgrading from 710 to 804 and the installer doesn't doing anything for 1 hour, however it says 6 minutes is remaining. in the terminal it says, "generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8" and that's all. | 17:27 |
| brunner | yeah, but it's not like some government mandated standard for DNS servers or something | 17:27 |
| stefan_ | anyone good at wow and wine ? :) | 17:27 |
| naxa | can i safely restart the system? | 17:27 |
| ikonia | threedee: listen very carefully - ubuntu can play CD's your base intalls (yours and bazhang's) are the same - so if bazhang's can, yours can too, we just need to work out the issue | 17:27 |
| bazhang | naxa, okay, there is a solution to that | 17:27 |
| threedee | I cannot listen to music | 17:27 |
| Slart | brunner: if it is I haven't heard of it | 17:27 |
| prince_jammys | naxa: that's a known bug | 17:27 |
| naxa | bazhang, oh my thanks, what is that? | 17:27 |
| bazhang | naxa, you need to cancel out the process first | 17:28 |
| naxa | prince_jammys, bazhang this is great can you help me what to do | 17:28 |
| threedee | ikonia: that is obvious | 17:28 |
| ikonia | threedee: ok - great, so why not listen to the people helping you to work it through | 17:28 |
| Lordveda | I want to know why on gdm I see small letters on text fields | 17:28 |
| Bodsda | threedee, checklist - :1.) does the cd drive work? 2) is the cd clean and non-scratched? 3.) is there music on it? 4.) what did you do to break it? | 17:28 |
| lenswipe | Gnea; The solution didnt work ruby still doesnt work for me | 17:28 |
| Gnea | lenswipe: oh, well, sorry, WEbrick isn't officially packaged, therefore it's not officially supported. You should consider talking to the WEbrick people about it. | 17:28 |
| ikonia | threedee: 2 people have provided information/forum threads to get some more info | 17:28 |
| prince_jammys | naxa: bazhang seems to have the info. i did go through it myself when i upgraded. | 17:28 |
| bazhang | heh | 17:28 |
| threedee | thank you for all your help | 17:28 |
| prince_jammys | bazhang: ;) | 17:28 |
| threedee | I very much appreciate it | 17:28 |
| lenswipe | great | 17:29 |
| naxa | bazhang, which process should i kill? | 17:29 |
| bazhang | threedee, just put in the cd | 17:29 |
| bazhang | naxa, the upgrade one | 17:29 |
| threedee | I will try another CD | 17:29 |
| taak | why might the mysql port only be accessible only on the localhost loopback interface? | 17:29 |
| naxa | bazhang, but will the system work after that? | 17:29 |
| bazhang | naxa, then boot from the earlier kernel | 17:29 |
| Slart | taak: security reasons, I gues | 17:29 |
| Slart | *guess | 17:29 |
| bazhang | naxa, sure | 17:30 |
| ikonia | taak: it's probably listening on all ports, but the users access is not user@% it's probably user@localhost | 17:30 |
| threedee | I have put in another CD | 17:30 |
| bazhang | threedee, does the system prompt you? | 17:30 |
| taak | Slart: perhaps i should have asked "how" rather than "why" | 17:30 |
| threedee | I get a "Cannot mount volume" alert window - der!!! | 17:30 |
| Bodsda | threedee, see, theres your problem | 17:31 |
| bazhang | naxa, you need to get into grub on the next reboot and go to the earlier kernel and do the upgrade after booting from that one | 17:31 |
| taak | ikonia: no, i nmapped it and doesn't show 3306 as being open unless you do it from 127.0.0.1 | 17:31 |
| Bodsda | threedee, does it say why? | 17:31 |
| threedee | .... and yet Rythembox opens | 17:31 |
| ikonia | taak: no problem, check out my.cnf then | 17:31 |
| bazhang | threedee, does the cd show in r-box? | 17:31 |
| Slart | taak: ah.. you want it to listen to the regular network port?.. hmm.. it's been a while since I messed with mysql.. check the mysql settings file.. look for someting like "listen localhost" or something similar | 17:31 |
| taak | ah, i see it. | 17:32 |
| Slart | taak: sorry I can't be more specific.. perhaps someone else knows the details.. but it's very possible | 17:32 |
| bazhang | back in a second | 17:32 |
| taak | it says in my.cnf: # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure. | 17:32 |
| threedee | Bodsda: then this should not be a problem | 17:32 |
| ikonia | threedee: ther eyou go | 17:32 |
| ikonia | threedee: oops, sorr | 17:32 |
| ikonia | taak: there you go | 17:32 |
| Bodsda | threedee, what shouldnt? is it playing? | 17:33 |
| taak | and restarting mysqld is /etc/init.d/mysql restart, right? | 17:33 |
| prince_jammys | it is | 17:33 |
| ikonia | taak: after you have made the changes | 17:33 |
| taak | right | 17:33 |

| felix | I've got 64-bit Ubuntu (Hardy) and I can't install .rar support (Eugene Roshal's) through Add/Remove Applications, is this a known bug? | 17:34 |
| ikonia | felix: what happens why you try | 17:34 |
| atlef | felix: go to synaptic to get it | 17:34 |
| threedee | Bodsda: I dont need to see "Cannot mount volume" messages | 17:35 |
| threedee | Who wrote this software? | 17:35 |
| Bodsda | threedee, well then i dont need to be wasting my time, thankyou and goodbye | 17:35 |
| ikonia | threedee: what software ? | 17:35 |
| felix | the checkbox is grey, indicating that apparently its not available, and yes I can install it though synaptic, that's why its such an odd bug | 17:35 |
| ikonia | felix: what check box | 17:35 |
| paparsifal | hi there | 17:35 |
| ikonia | felix: how are you getting a check box, if your not using synaptic | 17:35 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, by software she means Ubuntu | 17:36 |
| paparsifal | is there a command line guru out here ? | 17:36 |
| felix | ikonia: when you go to Add/Remove Applications I mean | 17:36 |
| ikonia | felix: that is synaptic | 17:36 |
| Bodsda | paparsifal, just ask your question please | 17:36 |
| threedee | ikonia: there are several players - I dont know who to hold responsible - Totem, Rythembox, Xine | 17:36 |
| felix | ikonia: how is that synaptic packet manager? I reach that though System > Administration right? | 17:36 |
| ikonia | threedee: it looks like ubuntu can't mount the cd - rather than the players | 17:37 |
| paparsifal | ok i do a find -type d -print0 | sort -z | head -10 | 17:37 |
| paparsifal | but that doesn't work | 17:37 |
| paparsifal | head doesn't understand null terminated string | 17:37 |
| ikonia | felix: ahh sorry, you mean from the base drop down menu ? | 17:37 |
| felix | ikonia: you got it | 17:37 |
| paparsifal | how could i make it work | 17:37 |
| threedee | ubuntu is not software, its a collection | 17:37 |
| paparsifal | maybe awk instead of head ? | 17:37 |
| felix | ikonia: the checkbox there was grey, couldn't mark it | 17:38 |
| Brucee | halo, i ama having problem installing vhcs2 on ubuntu hardy, when i type sudo sh vhcs2.sh .. i get this error: "Syntax error, newline unexpected" | 17:38 |
| ikonia | felix: looks like add/remove doesn't like closed source applications | 17:38 |
| Brucee | maybe i am typing wrong commands | 17:38 |
| ikonia | felix: note "looks like" | 17:38 |
| Brucee | i am pretty new to linux | 17:38 |
| Bodsda | Brucee, sounds like the script is wrong to me | 17:38 |
| ikonia | Brucee: looks like the script has an error | 17:38 |
| Brucee | ok.. thanks | 17:38 |
| Slart | Brucee: either the script is broken.. or it wants to be run with bash.. try bash instead of sh | 17:39 |
| paparsifal | maybe windows-> linux newline char | 17:39 |
| prince_jammys | paparsifal: no, tr. | 17:39 |
| paparsifal | tr ? | 17:39 |
| prince_jammys | paparsifal: tr '\0' 'n' | 17:39 |
| felix | ikonia: maybe, but if it's a known bug, would be handy if it gets fixed, for users that aren't experienced. | 17:39 |
| paparsifal | lol | 17:39 |
| prince_jammys | paparsifal: tr '\0' '\n' , rather | 17:39 |
| Brucee | so the command is 'sudo bash vhcs.sh "? correct? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | don't know if its a bug | 17:39 |
| ikonia | it may be setup to behave like that on purpose | 17:39 |
| Slart | Brucee: correct | 17:39 |
| Brucee | sorry i am new to all this.. and thannks | 17:39 |
| Bodsda | Brucee, nothing to be sorry for | 17:39 |
| paparsifal | well i want it to be null separated because i pass it then to xargs | 17:39 |
| felix | lol, Canonical is secretly boycotting closed source | 17:40 |
| ikonia | Brucee: look at the first line of the script what does the #!/bin comment say | 17:40 |
| ikonia | felix: nothing secret about it | 17:40 |
| Gnea | felix: ? | 17:40 |
| felix | j/k | 17:40 |
| prince_jammys | paparsifal: and run what on them? | 17:40 |
| Slart | Brucee: no worries.. bash and sh are almost the same.. bash has some extra features sh doesn't have.. sometimes people use those without remembering to tell the users =) | 17:40 |
| paparsifal | rm | 17:40 |
| Brucee | ok, thanks | 17:40 |
| Bodsda | !who > paparsifal | 17:40 |

| paparsifal | prince_jammys: rm | 17:41 |

| paparsifal | Slart: yes... i guess i can assume there will not be "\n" in filenames | 17:42 |
| paparsifal | Slart: there could be "\n" in filenames | 17:43 |

| Bodsda | sexcopter, i can think of a workaround, you could make a script that opens firefox at a certain site, then save the script and run it when you wanna go there | 17:47 |

| Myrtti | Sadik_Khalid: which translation is this about, btw? | 18:32 |
| ikonia | sjovan: so ? | 18:32 |

| paparsifal | is there any way to break a hardlink other than cp the file to a temporary file, rm the oldfile and rename the temporary file to the old name ? | 18:33 |
| sjovan | ikonia: no they are not... | 18:33 |
| terrestre | hello ikonia | 18:33 |

| eth01 | x_: no it worked out of the box pretty much. | 18:35 |

| x_ | eth01; as all seems well but i keep on getting a PXE-E11 (ARP timeout error | 18:35 |
| citroxx | what does that mean | 18:35 |
| sjovan | ikonia: of course you can (didn't think of the whole system monitor thing):) but can you explain me how the total don't mach in disk analyze and system monitor? | 18:35 |
| citroxx | sorry im useless :P | 18:35 |
| paparsifal | Na-Fiann: i see in the aptitude man page package\fB&m\fR => mark package as manually installed | 18:35 |
| Vi5in | how do you get the update-notifier on the top bar? | 18:35 |
| Myrtti | Sadik_Khalid: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ml see, there already is a team | 18:36 |
| k20a | i dunno i don't use apt-get unless i use a guide for installing so i usually just use package manager | 18:36 |
| citroxx | ok | 18:36 |
| citroxx | ill checkit out | 18:36 |
| sjovan | ikonia: because i want to take away space from sda1 and give more to /home, and of course move all the games over to /home | 18:36 |
| x_ | eth01; i'm using tftpd-hpa... | 18:36 |
| ikonia | sjovan: but you have no space on / | 18:36 |
| eth01 | x_: over the wan? | 18:37 |
| Na-Fiann | paparsifal: used that, but it only seems to work if it is already installed (so it will no longer be marked as automatically installed?_ | 18:37 |
| eth01 | or is it internal to your network, x_> | 18:37 |
| eth01 | ? | 18:37 |
| HymnToLife | paparsifal: well, you can just rm the link | 18:37 |

| php6th | whats a cool rss reader for gnome? | 18:38 |
| sjovan | ikonia: that's just the thing.... i can't understand why i'm useing that much space. and if you take the total from disk analyze it tells me that i'm only useing 11 GB | 18:38 |
| ikonia | sjovan: do a du -h / | 18:38 |
| ikonia | sjovan: see where all the big stuff is | 18:38 |
| paparsifal | Na-Fiann: sorry, i actually never used it, i was just reading the man page | 18:38 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: if i rm the link, i lose the file | 18:38 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: as on hardlinked file the link is the file | 18:39 |
| HymnToLife | paparsifal: you don't, I just tried | 18:39 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: how ? | 18:39 |

| HymnToLife | just try | 18:39 |
| ikonia | Sonderblade: handy to know ? | 18:40 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: what command do you use ? rm filename ? | 18:40 |
| HymnToLife | yes | 18:40 |
| Sonderblade | ikonia: yes but it probably is wasting resources | 18:40 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: it delete my file | 18:40 |
| HymnToLife | when you make a hardlink, you have two names in the filesystem that reference the same file | 18:40 |
| ikonia | Sonderblade: the logger is running - how is that wasting resources | 18:40 |
| HymnToLife | if you rm one, it just removes the reference in the filesystem | 18:41 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: yes | 18:41 |

| elo_ | paparsifal: /bin IS present on my linux partition | 18:41 |
| HymnToLife | hmm | 18:41 |
| Sonderblade | ikonia: i didn't say it was, i said it probably is | 18:41 |
| wanderingii | anyone know what i might be doing wrong to connect to printer | 18:41 |
| ikonia | elo_: and what's in it | 18:41 |
| ikonia | elo_: /usr/bin | 18:41 |
| elo_ | lots of stuff | 18:41 |
| ikonia | elo_: not /bin | 18:41 |
| HymnToLife | then I didn't understand what you want, you were quite vague in your explanation | 18:41 |
| elo_ | oh ok | 18:41 |
| slammed87d21 | can someone help me figure out why gtk-gnutella says i have a firewall when i dont? | 18:41 |
| Chousuke | HymnToLife: in fact, when you rm any file, only the link is removed. the file is still left on the filesystem :) | 18:41 |
| elo_ | one sec | 18:42 |
| roots | /quit | 18:42 |
| HymnToLife | Chousuke: yes, that was my point ;) | 18:42 |
| ikonia | elo_: and also they maybe there, but is /lib populated | 18:42 |
| ikonia | elo_: hey won't run if the libraries they link against arn't there | 18:42 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: i want to break the hardlink that is i want the file to reference a new inode with same content | 18:42 |
| Chousuke | HymnToLife: applications that have it open can even prevent the space from being freed. | 18:42 |

| bionk | hi, I'm running ubuntu with dual monitors and separate x screens, when I try to add a workspace on the panel at on x screen 2 it instead appears on the panel on screen 1, why? | 18:42 |

| elo_ | ikonia /usr/lib? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | elo_: or /lib | 18:43 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: yes but i must use a temporary file, wich can lead to using a filename that already exist | 18:43 |
| bionk | anyone? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | elo_: most applications will be linked against libs in both | 18:43 |
| ikonia | bionk: saying anyone is pointless, if someone missed your question "anyone" won't tell them what it is, and if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know it | 18:44 |
| HymnToLife | hmm, I don't think there's a way around it | 18:44 |
| karab44 | Hi how to use firewire 1394 on ubuntu? | 18:44 |
| paparsifal | HymnToLife: i'm talking about an automatic procedure here | 18:44 |
| elo_ | ikonia: /usr/lib has lots of stuff in it | 18:44 |
| elo_ | same with /lib | 18:44 |
| bionk | ikonia, my message was not that far away | 18:44 |
| ikonia | elo_: I'm sure it does, but for what ever reasons the applications in /bin can't be used when you boot the system | 18:44 |
| sysdoc | Anyone using aiotrade? | 18:44 |
| ikonia | bionk: yes, so saying anyone is pointless | 18:44 |
| HymnToLife | if you need unique filenames, use uuidcdef | 18:44 |
| elo_ | so no matter what i'm screwed? | 18:44 |
| sjovan | ikonia: but doesn't diskanalyze what's useing space? | 18:45 |
| ikonia | elo_: as you can see from your paste - simple things that are core like "grep" cannot be used | 18:45 |
| paparsifal | thanx for your help HymnToLife, i'll think of it while eating | 18:45 |
| paparsifal | c u | 18:45 |

| bringatowel | anyone know why freenx server is not on the official repos? it is GPL | 18:45 |
| bionk | ikonia, no since it gives it a little more attention hopefully | 18:45 |

| jimcooncat | brmassa: it doesn't recover the password, it resets it | 19:03 |
| sjovan | ikonia: yes, disk analyze isn't, but i used the calc and i got the same result as the comand you gave me. hence, system monitor is lying to me | 19:03 |

| soundray | raccoon: you could do a 'apt-cache search libqt4' to see what's on offer | 19:03 |
| citroxx | do i do that with synaptic package manager? | 19:03 |
| brmassa | jimcooncat: thats ok. i in fact mistyped it. | 19:03 |
| ikonia | sjovan: can you show me system monitor | 19:03 |

| sjovan | ikonia: it was in the picture i gave you | 19:03 |
| soundray | jtaby: no | 19:03 |
| citroxx | so i tryed a manual install | 19:03 |

| sjovan | ikonia: http://pics.cheggit.nl/pics/2008/08/18/890-1Screenshot.png | 19:04 |
| ikonia | sjovan: that picture is showing 500G root | 19:04 |
| soundray | jtaby: usually you have to do both make and make install | 19:04 |
| sjovan | ikonia: no, look further down... sda1 useing 17 GB | 19:04 |
| ale22944 | RequinB4: ok I try | 19:04 |
| ale22944 | tnx | 19:04 |
| jtaby | soundray, sorry, yeah, but what i meant was, after running make install, it's compiled and installed, right? | 19:04 |
| soundray | jtaby: yes | 19:04 |
| jtaby | ok, thanks | 19:04 |
| sjovan | ikonia: but like i calculated and as du said... sda1 is only 11 GB - 6 GB with games = 5 GB. so a 7 GB sda 1 should be sufichent or? | 19:05 |

| ubottu | akcin: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning. | 19:38 |
| firefly2442 | Is there a way to force a window to be smaller? (I'm running a very low resolution) | 19:38 |
| akcin | can you apt-get gmountiso? | 19:38 |
| soundray | akcin: yes | 19:39 |

| red_mercury-ar | i want chose kernel bsd or linux in boot | 19:39 |
| lcphr3ak | Hi, I have an issue here. I uninstalled parallels desktop from my ubuntu machine, whome which left a virtual device (wmaster0) on my machine. Is there a way to delete this? I've tried from the /sys folder, but I get permission denied (even when root) | 19:39 |
| Slade | anyone else have any solutions to my problem with my nvidia geforce 8600 | 19:39 |
| jimcooncat | red_mercury-ar: that's possible with grub I think | 19:39 |
| jpds | red_mercury-ar: So, install BSD on another partition. | 19:39 |
| akcin | firefly2442: I'm guessing that you're using an EEE? | 19:39 |
| stemount^ | I'll be back. | 19:39 |
| firefly2442 | akcin: yes, 1000 series | 19:39 |
| stemount^ | I'll be back. | 19:39 |
| kc8pxy | failure: have a developer at yoru disposal? i think i found a project that does MOST of that you want. | 19:39 |
| stemount^ | I'll be back. | 19:39 |
| carandraug | red_mercury-ar, I believe you only need to install BSD in another partition and edit grub | 19:39 |
| akcin | firefly2442: I wish I could help you with that... Im having the same problem on my 701 | 19:39 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 19:40 |
| firefly2442 | akcin: yeah, lots of the gnome apps have windows that are much too big | 19:40 |
| aLeSD | someone here knows how to install jack on 8.04 ? | 19:40 |
| soundray | firefly2442: see http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly | 19:40 |

| ozzloy | i'm trying to connect to a bluetooth keyboard, but i get "Can't create HID control channel: Connection reset by peer" | 19:40 |
| red_mercury-ar | no i want install bsd and linux in one partition | 19:40 |
| ozzloy | how do i troubleshoot this | 19:40 |
| ozzloy | ? | 19:40 |
| Pici | red_mercury-ar: You cannot use the BSD kernel in Ubuntu, end of story. | 19:40 |
| kc8pxy | failure: still here? | 19:41 |
| red_mercury-ar | sorry | 19:41 |
| soundray | firefly2442: note especially the tip for moving windows past the top of the screen | 19:41 |
| lfranchi | i'm on a fresh install (in a VM), and i can connect to the internet and everything EXCEPT for connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 | 19:41 |
| ompaul | red_mercury-ar, you need to split that partition | 19:41 |
| sexcopter | hi, is there an easy tool for splitting a long flac file into individual tracks? (it's a CD rip) | 19:41 |
| lfranchi | i'm kinda puzzled---any ideas? | 19:41 |
| carandraug | red_mercury-ar, I don't think you can do that. Resize the partition (backup first) and install BSD in the free space | 19:41 |
| soundray | firefly2442: if you're using compiz, "gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y --type bool 0" | 19:41 |
| kc8pxy | sexcopter: audacity? | 19:42 |
| === a5an0 is now known as someguy | ||
| red_mercury-ar | ompaul: how | 19:42 |
| sexcopter | kc8pxy: i'll give it a go, thanks | 19:42 |
| soundray | sexcopter: with audacity, you can visually identify the silent gaps | 19:42 |
| Slade | anyone, any ideas? | 19:43 |
| ompaul | red_mercury-ar, divide and conqueror, you split it with the partition tool as you are installing | 19:43 |
| firefly2442 | ahh cool, so I just hold the ALT key and click and drag.... that's easy | 19:43 |
| firefly2442 | I think that should be an option when you right click on the window bar | 19:44 |
| kc8pxy | sexcopter: Slade never had a 8600, sorry. and I'm just hanging here because the FG i work at install ubuntu by default. | 19:44 |
| akcin | firefly2442: I think it is in Windows... but yeah, Linux doesn't seem to have it | 19:44 |
| soundray | firefly2442: a lot of the stuff that the scripts on that page do is actually best solved with the array.org kernel. See http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ | 19:44 |
| firefly2442 | yeah, I got the array kernel :D | 19:44 |
| red_mercury-ar | I'm sorry for the inconvenience | 19:45 |
| x_ | red_mercury-ar, you still trying to run BSD kernel under ubuntu...? | 19:46 |
| jimcooncat | red_mercury-ar: you may want to try a BSD Live CD to start with, like desktopbsd | 19:46 |

| Slart | CV: ubottu is a bot.. use pastebin to paste the output of "dmesg".. it will be many lines.. > 50 at least | 20:10 |
| fyrestrtr | daan: just ask the real question | 20:10 |
| hololight | spm: synaptic is a program that manages packages in debian based linux's (ubuntu) | 20:10 |
| CV | ok - more general question then. Did 7.x have decent wpa support? That was the main thing missing for me from in 6.02 | 20:10 |
| spm_ | is the nvidia control panel | 20:10 |
| Slart | CV: I have no idea.. I almost never use my wireless card.. | 20:11 |
| ompaul | CV, there was no 6.02 try 6.06 or 6.10 | 20:11 |
| hololight | spm: synaptic will allow you to seach from nvidia-settings.... you can then isntall it from there | 20:11 |
| spm_ | okay | 20:12 |
| daan | right, so I need to compile wine because with the regular synaptic package I don't really see a way to patch it.. So, I installed the recommended packages from the list from winehq using apt-get build-dep wine.. but when I do the ./configure command it ends up saying: Freetype development files not found. Fonts will not be built. -- anybody knows how to fix this? | 20:12 |
| Slart | daan: install the freetype development files? | 20:12 |
| hololight | daan: try searching synaptic for freetype dev | 20:12 |
| zax1 | can ubuntu read a dynamic volume made under win xp ? | 20:13 |
| CV | slart: the problem is not my wireless card - it is my wired card | 20:13 |

| Slart | CV: isn't wpa wireless encryption? | 20:13 |
| CV | ompaul - my error. 6.02 and 6.10 worked for me on the wired side and wireless, but not wpa | 20:13 |
| hololight | daan: it is prolly a version issue then | 20:13 |
| Slart | daan: hmm.. have you checked the howto on building wine.. perhaps it has some info | 20:14 |
| CV | slart: sorry - confusing my threads. 8.04 doesn't work wired for me. 6.06 had problem with wpa | 20:14 |
| ompaul | CV, there was no .02 | 20:14 |
| spm_ | what does it mean a red mark there. there is a nvidia-glx and is highligthed with red, what it is? | 20:14 |
| hololight | spm: what red mark? | 20:14 |
| CV | doh - i meant 6.06 (both times!) | 20:14 |
| astra-xwork | so amd 770/790 support and phenom support works Out of the box, correct? | 20:14 |
| hololight | daan: why are you compiling wine? | 20:14 |
| spm_ | hold on let me copy it | 20:15 |
| Slart | hololight: to apply a patch | 20:15 |
| daan | The howto just says like: run the ./configure command | 20:15 |
| daan | and then a make depend | 20:15 |
| CV | slart - you asked for dmesg. It overflows my terminal buffer. Do you still want what is there? | 20:15 |
| daan | but it won't even do the ./configure | 20:15 |
| daan | well it will | 20:15 |

| daan | but it ends up giving an error | 20:15 |
| Slart | daan: is the freetype thing a warning or an error? | 20:15 |
| hololight | daan: well, after the patch did you reconf? doubt that is the prob, but still | 20:15 |
| daan | umm | 20:15 |
| captainm | CV: do dmesg | tail | 20:15 |

| spm_ | what prog can i use to play games like swat 4 and so on? | 20:18 |
| spm_ | i tryed wine but i cant play it | 20:18 |

| Flannel | zax1: This channel isn't for windows support, we don't know windows. If ##windows isn't awake, try google. | 20:18 |
| hololight | spm: if wine doesn't work, unless there is a linux native version (doubt it) then there is no way to do it | 20:18 |
| Slart | zax1: I don't know..I've never tried.. never had a dynamic volume to torture =) | 20:19 |

| eth01 | reikalusikka: ifconfig -a | 20:20 |
| hololight | i dont think anyone would mess with him if he asked if ubuntu could support ntfs | 20:20 |
| spm_ | see you all soon | 20:20 |
| Slart | zax1: make sure to use ntfs-3g.. not the older ntfs driver | 20:21 |
| daan | zax1: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20735.html the last post has the solution in it | 20:21 |

| daan | zax1: everybody has to start at some point :) | 20:22 |
| Flannel | zax1: Depends on whether its a real RAID or not. If its an actual hardware RAID, it shouldn't. If its a software RAID, it may. | 20:22 |
| reikalusikka | eth01: can't find it there :( | 20:22 |
| Slart | zax1: ahh.. sorry.. forgot about that.. yes.. that will make things worse | 20:22 |

| reikalusikka | it is there :D | 20:22 |
| reikalusikka | thank you | 20:22 |
| Slart | zax1: fakeraid, as most on board chips are, aren't really well supported in linux... I think most linux users think they are crap to begin with so noone wants to do drivers for them | 20:22 |
| zax1 | yes , it is real hardware raid, its a sata raid controller on an ASUS M2NP-vm | 20:22 |

| bobishh | what's your hardware configuration | 20:59 |
| beam | bobishh: i know | 20:59 |
| RyanPrior | dropper: Naturally, if you can grab a copy of Hardy, the software will be much nicer and more modern. :-) | 20:59 |
| dropper | RyanPrior: I don't have any grub, just the standard boot line from the live cd | 20:59 |

| woozzy | nope cant view peoples cams | 21:06 |
| RyanPrior | dinar_: You'll have to use the ICQ website, or the official ICQ client. Pidgin supports chat, but not searching. | 21:06 |
| ole__ | ok | 21:06 |
| Wh00mp | woozzy; what kind of cam are you trying to view? just random ones? look for google dorks/hacks theres a bunch to view other peoples cameras and find them on the search engine | 21:06 |
| beam | bobishh: oh its ok, thanks anyway | 21:06 |
| dinar_ | is there official client for ubuntu? | 21:06 |
| Skyrail | Is there anyway to style the terminal in Ubuntu (Gnome's default one, the name escapes me) so that it has some internal padding giving some space inbetween the text and the edges? | 21:06 |
| RyanPrior | dinar_: Nope, you'd have to run the official client in a Windows VM or using Wine. | 21:06 |
| woozzy | i mean on windows msn if someone has a webcam u can click on view cam and i can see that persons cam | 21:06 |
| dinar_ | is there miranda for linux? | 21:07 |
| woozzy | but pidgiam aint got that function | 21:07 |
| sweetgum | bobishh: any idea? | 21:07 |

| pos69sum | i'm trying to set up an ftp server - i have a 1tb firewire hard drive where i want to store all the files in ftp root | 21:08 |
| Wh00mp | woozzy; sorry dont use IM's maybe have them save it to a .mp4 or .avi or something and send it to you rapid share | 21:08 |

| pos69sum | i can't click it and see everything in the directory | 21:08 |
| hoonteke | random question: anyone know why more is not just a sym or hardlink to less? Since less behaves like more when invoked via the more name? | 21:08 |

| Wh00mp | alot of people dont know how to use SSH or NFS | 21:09 |
| bobishh | sweetgum, wait... i'm thinking) you can try text mode or smthn... i don't think that there's hardware problem.. | 21:09 |
| pos69sum | RyanPrior it's r ftp over tls/ssl | 21:09 |

| d0wn | I don't think my network-manager-gnome package is working, as i can't see the network manager icon on my task bar | 21:09 |
| RyanPrior | beam: Unfortunately, Linux video apps aren't so great - but that being said, there are a few. Open Movie Editor and Avidemux can do that, I think. | 21:09 |

| Gnea | llama_02: please stay on-topic. | 21:14 |
| beam | wirenik: Oh ok thanks | 21:14 |
| carandraug | beam: you can have subtitles in a separate file. "Subtitle editor" is probably your best shot. If you give the subtitle file the same name of the movie/clip, most software will also load the subtitles from the file | 21:14 |
| beam | bobishh: oh ok, thanks | 21:14 |
| RyanPrior | beam: svn ("subversion") is a tool for advanced users to get the latest cutting-edge software directly from the developers, and to allow developers to share their code. | 21:14 |
| bobishh | beam, check out wiki page 'bout svn | 21:14 |
| Gnea | !svn | beam | 21:14 |
| ubottu | beam: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ | 21:14 |
| Wh00mp | is everything with ubuntu and debian all sudo-apt get install? what if there is a cool .tar linuz file i want to install? | 21:14 |
| beam | WoW thanks guys | 21:15 |
| Gnea | !cvs | 21:15 |
| ubottu | cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ | 21:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wh00mp: then you will need to follow the instructions to compile it | 21:15 |
| RyanPrior | Is CVS still dominant?! | 21:15 |
| Gnea | Wh00mp: it's best to see if you can find an ubuntu/debian port of it first. support for a .tar tends to fall short. | 21:15 |
| Wh00mp | IndyGunFreak; ok so with linux instead of installing a program, you are compiling it into your OS? | 21:15 |
| Gnea | !best | RyanPrior | 21:15 |
| ubottu | RyanPrior: 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. | 21:15 |

| beam | bobishh: ok i will | 21:16 |
| Chousuke | Wh00mp: um | 21:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Wh00mp: no, you're still installing it, you just have to compile it to work w/ your distro. | 21:16 |

| Gnea | Wh00mp: 99% of windows software comes pre-compiled (hence, .exe files) since, well, heh, it's a closed-source OS. Ubuntu bridges the gap and makes it easier for people to get an open-source OS up and running quickly, without having to bother compiling software. Of course, the option is there for you to compile software. | 21:17 |

| bobishh | beam, oh... it depends on what you want to do with it in future | 21:21 |
| normloman | in the context of linux | 21:21 |
| Slart | normloman: prefix, something you put before something else | 21:21 |
| beam | Slart: what can you develop using Python? | 21:22 |
| claws | why is it that I've to give normal user's password when I do sudo <command>. It doesn't work if I give super users password. why so? | 21:22 |
| Gnea | dorito: i think you've confused the JVM with any version of Windows ;) | 21:22 |
| bokey | it's actually a software bug as opposed to bug. duh! | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot | 21:22 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:22 |
| normloman | so in the context of software | 21:22 |
| normloman | what is a prefix | 21:22 |
| normloman | for instance | 21:22 |
| bokey | please ffs use proper wordings | 21:22 |
| Slart | beam: world orbiting brain lasers.. or just about anything | 21:22 |
| normloman | im compiling a program | 21:22 |
| Slade | ok, i have an nvidia GeForce 8600 GT. I got the desktop effects enabled, but i cat get my second monitor to turn on | 21:22 |
| normloman | and Im told to define the SDL prefix | 21:22 |
| Wh00mp | Gnea - thanks some of that info in there i am sure will be helpful :) | 21:22 |
| Slade | nvidia-settings says im not using the nvidia driver | 21:22 |
| shadowhywind | hay all I am getting a udevd-event[#####]: run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit error on boot. about 2 out of 3 times now.. any ideas | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > normloman | 21:22 |
| Slade | my xorg.conf says that i am | 21:22 |
| ubottu | normloman, please see my private message | 21:22 |
| Slart | beam: it's not really really fast but it's easy to work with.. and it comes with a lot of stuff built in | 21:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 21:22 |
| beam | bobishh: i want to learn something that is easy to grasp and can develop some pretty cool things | 21:22 |
| Paradox34690 | slart: I might have to do that... I can access the system if I go to (for instance) smb://192.168.1.5 and can view all the shares, but like I said, I cant get to it via smb://odin | 21:22 |
| Gnea | !compile | normloman | 21:22 |
| ubottu | normloman: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 21:22 |
| bokey | beam: i'd recommend Python | 21:23 |
| anto9us | !sudo | claws | 21:23 |
| ubottu | claws: 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) | 21:23 |
| bokey | !python | beam | 21:23 |

| beam | Slart: thats nice | 21:23 |
| jameswf-home | anyone know of a decent front end for ip6tables (NOT ufw) that allows contol by interface ? | 21:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: dual screens is easy w/ Nvidia(in my experience), do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 21:23 |
| normloman | ahhh what did I do? | 21:23 |
| === notmog is now known as mog | ||
| Slade | IndyGunFreak, i believe so, let me check | 21:23 |
| bokey | jameswf-home: try shorewall | 21:23 |
| bokey | !shorewall | jameswf-home | 21:23 |
| ubottu | jameswf-home: 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). | 21:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bean bokey Please find a more appropiate room for discussing programming | 21:23 |
| Slart | Paradox34690: hmm.. that works for me.. but I can't remember setting up nmdb.. well.. sorry I can't be of more help | 21:23 |
| bokey | ffs | 21:23 |
| Slade | IndyGunFreak, it's installed, but its saying im not using the nvidia driver | 21:23 |
| bokey | Jack_Sparrow: yeah yeah | 21:23 |
| Slade | so it's kinda lying | 21:23 |
| AtomicSpark | so how does one connect ubuntu desktop to the openldap server? I have it all setup on the server side, just not sure how to configure the client. | 21:24 |
| Wh00mp | Is there a certain way that I should type somones use name in irc for them to see im talking to them (like on koversation when someone says my name its red) and i know they are talking to me , makes convo alot easier to read threw | 21:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: well that is weird.. how did you install the nvidia driver? | 21:24 |
| Gnea | normloman: you typed one thing, pressed enter, typed another, pressed enter, and repeated the pattern in a short amount of time. :) | 21:24 |
| bobishh | beam, С++ maybe))) unix is based on C language.. first C then C++. | 21:24 |
| normloman | i apologize. | 21:24 |
| Slart | Wh00mp: nope.. just the nick with a colon after will do | 21:24 |
| sweetgum | bobishh: ya, i'm still here. | 21:24 |
| Slart | Wh00mp: the coloured text and optional sound is all done in the client | 21:24 |
| === david is now known as Guest49254 | ||
| carandraug | Wh00mp, put that person name in the begining of what you say. Most IRC clients will warn that person | 21:24 |
| Slart | Wh00mp: also, try pressing <tab> to autocomplete nicks | 21:24 |
| === Guest49254 is now known as Blacklemon67 | ||
| Gnea | normloman: it's all good, but check this out, it will help you understand the whole prefix thing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware | 21:24 |
| jameswf-home | bokey: firestarter doesnt support ipv6 | 21:25 |
| normloman | i read that. | 21:25 |
| Slade | IndyGunFreak, originally using the hardware manager saying that i needed the restricted modules | 21:25 |
| beam | bobishh: ive tried C++ i think its difficult | 21:25 |
| normloman | The word prefix appears once | 21:25 |
| Slade | well it installed those and it didn't exactly do anything for me | 21:25 |
| Wh00mp | thanks | 21:25 |
| Slade | even after reboot | 21:25 |
| bokey | jameswf-home: ffs. read what i wrote. shorewall | 21:25 |
| Wh00mp | carandraug: i see lol | 21:25 |
| beam | bobishh: i think ill have go with Python | 21:25 |
| Slade | so i uninstalled it and installed envyng. that installed new modules | 21:25 |
| claws | Ubuntu also users the same Deb packages. If there are plenty of debian repositories. then why do we have seperate ubuntu repositories? | 21:25 |
| normloman | Is there a linux glossary? Like a place i can type in a word and it tells me what it means in the context of linux? | 21:25 |
| === david__ is now known as blacklemon67 | ||
| Slade | the module is working fine because my enhanced desktop effects are working nicely | 21:25 |
| beam | bobishh: everyone is reccommending it to me | 21:25 |
| bobishh | beam, so you already know what you want ) | 21:25 |
| Slart | claws: debian packages doesn't have to be the same as ubuntu packages.. there might be differences | 21:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: sigh... well, good luck... if you'd have just left restricted driver running, you'd have dual screens in about 4sec | 21:25 |
| Slade | but i cant get the second monitor to turn on, and i can't get TwinView working | 21:25 |
| Wh00mp | nick autocomplete is very nice | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | claws: they are not compatible a debian deb can not be used in ubuntu and viceversa | 21:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | claws debian repos are NOT the same | 21:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !debian | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 21:26 |
| === david__ is now known as blacklemon | ||
| Slade | IndyGunFreak, even with the restricted modules it was saying the same thing | 21:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: well, envy was a pretty bad idea | 21:26 |
| carandraug | Wh00mp, by the way, if you use IRC a lot you may want to give XChat a try (if you don't already use it). And install libnotify-bin | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | claws: the same aplies i.e for redhat/opensuse/mandriva rpm packages | 21:26 |
| linuxfce | All of my advanced mousepad (laptop) functions stopped working. The scroll area, double-tap to click, double-tap hold to hold does not work. Please help me | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | claws: all rpm all incompatible | 21:26 |
| beam | bobishh: now i do, yes | 21:26 |
| linuxfce | It used to work but it doesn't work now. | 21:26 |
| beam | bobishh: python | 21:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: dunno, you have a unique problem.. good luck.. | 21:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | !nvidia | Slade | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Slade: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:26 |
| Wh00mp | carandraug: i dunno for some reason i have liked Mirc first then konversation (because it has all the users on the channel listed , xchat i cant figure out how to go on there with a proxy or use plugins | 21:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 21:27 |
| Gnea | normloman: yes, and it explains it precisely. | 21:27 |
| linuxfce | Pleeease? | 21:27 |
| bobishh | beam, what country are you from ? | 21:27 |
| Gnea | normloman: For example, by default the configure script installs to /usr/local. If you want to change the path, you would execute the configure script as shown below: <---- it's saying that /usr/local is the "root" location | 21:27 |
| beam | bobish: I am from Oman | 21:28 |
| carandraug | Wh00mp, you can chabge the proxy in Xchat in the preferences menu under network setup | 21:28 |
| beam | bobishh: I am from Oman? | 21:28 |
| Gnea | normloman: so if it were to install any configuration files, they wouldn't go to /etc, but to /usr/local/etc | 21:28 |
| frybye | re - how can I delefe a file in the Trashcan that seems to need "root" permissions to delete it? | 21:28 |
| erUSUL | frybye: sudo rm /path/to/file | 21:28 |
| claws | /dev/sda6 /home/kishorekumar/Evfatauto,user,exec,rw00 ---- is line in my /etc/fstab but still I don't have write permissions. | 21:28 |
| normloman | so is prefix the path of folders? | 21:29 |
| claws | pls.. help. | 21:29 |
| frybye | ok but where is the trash located on the file system - have not been able to find it.. | 21:29 |
| wh00mp_ | humm | 21:29 |
| Gnea | normloman: it is the root path. | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | !trash | 21:29 |
| 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 | 21:29 |
| Slade | IndyGunFreak, 32 | 21:29 |
| normloman | so im my case, I need to specify the path to get to SDL? Does that make any sense? | 21:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | Slade: that shoudln't really matter, i was simply curious. | 21:29 |
| Slade | i don't have a 64 bit processor | 21:29 |
| Gnea | claws: just ask the question, in one line if you can ... you don't have to beg for help.. in fact, begging for it will more than likely get people to NOT want to help you, FYI. | 21:29 |
| dropper | RyanPrior: I just used Knoppix instead. "linux single" just works. | 21:30 |
| RyanPrior | dropper: Knoppix is nice, yes. | 21:30 |
| Gnea | normloman: no, it does not. | 21:30 |
| Wh00mp | carandraug: it does not hight light my name in xhcat when people are talking to me i see no proxy or socks 5 support | 21:30 |
| Gnea | normloman: when you're setting your --prefix, you're telling the compilation software where to put the files | 21:31 |
| normloman | I see | 21:31 |
| linuxfce | The scrolling on my Synaptics touchpad stopped working. | 21:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Wh00mp It will when it is setup correctly for your taste.. Including the user list on the right side | 21:31 |
| normloman | I dont think that fixes my problem then. But now I know what it means. | 21:31 |

Unfortunately, since kdevelop is in another official repo, it still shows the previous 3.5.1 version as installed. Is there a way to force it to use the 3.5.2 version, or do I | 21:35 |
| Wh00mp | carandraug: ok yes it does i just seen in yellow | 21:35 |

| imandy | does anyone know why gnome-volume-manager pulls in lots of totem packages and sound-juicer as dependencies? I'm doing a relatively minimal ubuntu install, and I really don't want those packages, and I don't see why they should be necessary for gnome's volume manager. | 21:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 21:54 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 21:54 |

| Metwan | not yet, thanks for the hint | 21:56 |
| imandy | Jack_Sparrow: I am using that minimal install cd. but my question is about the dependencies of gnome-volume-manager | 21:56 |
| Gillpy | imandy: gnome-volume-manager recommends totem and soundjuicer | 21:57 |
| djamel | Metwan, if the www-data group doesn't exist create it, give it the perissions you want, and then chown the directory where the script has to write | 21:57 |

| danhs | I switched over to metacity for a second in order to see what kind of stuff could do instead of compiz....compiz alt-tab drives me insane..... | 22:26 |

| Admln | cine vorbeste romaneste pe aici doamnelor si domnilor ? | 22:29 |

| danhs | Hamled|Erp: I bet oyu that will work | 22:29 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: i'm assuming there were no obvious errors during the compile? | 22:30 |
| danhs | Gillpy: how can I do no desktop env? | 22:30 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: none to speak of | 22:30 |
| RyanPrior | Hamled|Erp: no, you would have to install the ssh daemon. | 22:30 |
| Hamled|Erp | danhs, well the issue is that I can't access the computer except over the network (no monitor keyboard or mouse to use with the box) | 22:30 |
| Slade | brb | 22:30 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: what kind of errors are you getting now when X fails? | 22:30 |
| Gillpy | danhs: I dont think it is that simple to set up. Myself, I dont start the X server on boot and I have exec compiz in .xinitrc | 22:30 |
| danhs | Hamled|Erp: ouch....that's pretty tricky..... | 22:30 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: something about nvidia. let me retry to get something specific | 22:30 |
| Hamled|Erp | are there any tutorials on adding a package into a livecd? | 22:30 |
| danhs | Gillpy: is there a simple way I can work myself out of this mess other than going to my backups? | 22:31 |

| RyanPrior | joh6nn: How can I do that? | 22:32 |
| joh6nn | RyanPrior: are you familiar with the console/terminal at all? | 22:33 |
| dudeeee34 | My questions are. How do i mount the ubuntu installation to my windows harddrive. | 22:33 |
| RyanPrior | mcw: boo hoo. There are tons of answers on the forums - do some digging and post if you can't find help. | 22:33 |
| mcw | would synaptics package manager have the drivers??? | 22:33 |
| dudeeee34 | I want my ubuntu to have access to all my window drivers. | 22:33 |
| RyanPrior | joh6nn: Yes, but I don't know which command to use to launch an SSH session over Nautilus. | 22:33 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: do you have an nvidia card? or is the error all the more interesting for your lack of said hardware? | 22:33 |
| mcw | don't be rude now | 22:34 |
| dudeeee34 | How do I do that? | 22:34 |
| Gillpy | danhs: sorry I can't really help you. I dont use gnome or metacity or compiz. | 22:34 |

| danhs | Gillpy: thanks for the help anyway | 22:34 |
| joh6nn | RyanPrior: i'm actually mostly a KDE guy, but here with a generic *buntu question. i'm guessing that if you right click on the icon you usually use to luanch the nautilus ssh session, you'll be able to find the command it's running under "properties" or something similar | 22:35 |
| dudeeee34 | Ok next question is. I set up a unacolated partion on my harddrive for ubuntu. Now what do i do | 22:35 |
| joh6nn | RyanPrior: copy and paste that into the terminal, and it should give you more information | 22:35 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: whenever I set the system up last night, I just let the package manager install the drivers, and everything worked until after I compiled the kernel today (to add x-fi support... don't even ask) | 22:35 |
| erichj | dudeeee34: it doesn't work like that. the only reason it will use the broadcom driver is because the firmware was reverse engineered | 22:35 |
| mad_max02 | Can I completely uninstall Pulse audio ??? | 22:35 |
| Slade | back. Ok, is twinview supposed to display as one large screen? | 22:35 |
| RyanPrior | joh6nn: Unfortunately, right-clicking it just attempts to launch the session. :-) | 22:35 |
| Slade | because my panel is stuck in the middle of the screen between both monitors | 22:35 |
| carandraug | dudeeee34, you'll have access to all files in Windows but windows drives are of no use to Linux. However, you can use ndiswrapper to use some windows drives of wireless cards in Linux | 22:35 |
| RyanPrior | mad_max02: More importantly, why would you want to? | 22:36 |
| dudeeee34 | My old wubi installation made my broadcom work. Then i tried it with a partioned installation but the driver did not work. Why is that? | 22:36 |
| dudeeee34 | I had wubi 8.04. | 22:36 |
| erichj | doesn't wubi install inside windows? | 22:37 |
| dudeeee34 | Yes, | 22:37 |
| Almtesh | Sorry. | 22:37 |
| mcw | If all I needed was a forum why would I be on a chat to find an answer duh | 22:37 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: i've never compiled a kernel, myself, but it occurs to me that the nvidia driver is a binary blob; what are the chances it didn't get linked in properly? | 22:37 |
| Almtesh | Where's the French channel, please ? | 22:37 |
| dudeeee34 | But wubi dosent work for GOS. Which is the os im installing. | 22:37 |
| RyanPrior | erichj: In a matter of speaking. Once installed, Ubuntu no longer requires Windows to run. | 22:37 |

| joh6nn | erichj: RyanPrior: not the case with wubi; wubi actually installs Ubuntu inside windows | 22:38 |
| mad_max02 | RyanPrior, because I dont use it and it gives me problems | 22:38 |
| plopunet | Jack_Sparrow tried to add irqpoll to the menu.lst, same error 21 message | 22:38 |
| mad_max02 | RyanPrior, so do you know can I remove it ? | 22:38 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: not quite sure off the top of my head | 22:38 |
| joh6nn | lemme see if i can figure it out | 22:38 |
| jam3s2002 | thanks, you're a savior | 22:38 |
| RyanPrior | mad_max02: Most Ubuntu programs are configured to use PulseAudio by default. | 22:38 |
| RyanPrior | mad_max02: So, you probably do use it. | 22:39 |
| carandraug | dudeeee34, maybe the modifications they made at gOS removed the support for your card | 22:39 |
| mcw | besides theres no answer in the forum ,just another person with the exact problem that has posted that they had the same problem | 22:39 |
| dudeeee34 | No i never tried gOS. | 22:39 |
| dudeeee34 | This is going to be my first time. | 22:39 |
| dudeeee34 | Right now. | 22:39 |
| UncleTimmy | Has anyone had problems with 8.04 making CD/DVD burners automatically close the tray when opened? | 22:39 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: looks like modprobe will do it for the current session | 22:39 |
| erichj | dudeeee34: what broadcom chipset are you using? | 22:39 |
| Slade | anyone? | 22:39 |
| mad_max02 | RyanPrior, this is one of the stupid situations where I have to explain it to you that I DONT use pusle audio and that ALL of the programs I use are using alsa | 22:39 |
| joh6nn | no luck so far on how to do it permanently | 22:39 |
| Slade | when i maximize windows it goes between both screens | 22:40 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: k, that's a start | 22:40 |
| dudeeee34 | B4 something like that' | 22:40 |
| dudeeee34 | it is like b34xx | 22:40 |
| Slade | how can i get twinview to understand it has 2 monitors? | 22:40 |
| RyanPrior | mad_max02: Alright. In that case, you ought to be able to uninstall the pulse audio package using apt-get or Synaptic. | 22:40 |
| Dark_Lord | can somebody help me with glib please? | 22:40 |
| erichj | dudeeee34: so do a sudo apt-get install b43-wcutter | 22:40 |
| mcw | well | 22:40 |
| Gillpy | !ask | Dark_Lord | 22:41 |
| ubottu | Dark_Lord: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 22:41 |
| dudeeee34 | ok | 22:41 |
| erichj | b43-fwcutter | 22:41 |
| joh6nn | anyone know if there's a way to change apt.conf settings based on what network you're connected to? | 22:41 |
| mad_max02 | well the problem is that synaptics wants to remove ubuntu-desktop when I try to remove PA | 22:41 |
| erichj | mad_max02: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-file. doesn't matter if it gets removed | 22:41 |
| dudeeee34 | So is gOS any good? | 22:41 |

| erichj | dudeeee34: it's linux for the facebook generation. | 22:42 |

| RyanPrior | beam: Find some web space - I suggest nearlyfreespeech.net | 22:42 |
| mad_max02 | erichj, are you sure ?? when I removed evolution with that ubuntu-desktop it screwed up my whole desktop | 22:42 |
| dudeeee34 | Im egarly awaiting ubuntu 8.10 i heard it was going to be the biggest ubuntu upgrade ever. | 22:43 |
| erichj | thurston: usually your windows key | 22:43 |
| thurston | oh, thank you erichj | 22:43 |
| captainm | mad_max02: You can safely remove ubuntu-desktop | 22:43 |
| RyanPrior | beam: Or, if you've got a static IP and a decent box, you can host it yourself with Apache. | 22:43 |
| carandraug | beam: you can install apache in your computer. Then your computer will work just as a server | 22:43 |
| erichj | mad_max02: positive. it only needs to be there when you are doing a dist-upgrade | 22:43 |
| Dark_Lord | I was trying to install Xchat 2.8.6. It informed me that my GLiB is not correctly "installed". I downloaded the 2.14.5 version tar.bz2 files and compiled it. Now I am getting another error | 22:44 |
| dudeeee34 | Well my gOS is burning. Please wish me luck with wifi. | 22:44 |
| beam | RyanPrior carandraug: That exactly what i want | 22:44 |
| Slade | beam, ftp it up to the server | 22:44 |
| squarebracket | anyone know a good intro to python programming? | 22:44 |
| joh6nn | Dark_Lord: are you moving to ubuntu from a different distro? | 22:44 |
| erichj | squarebracket: dive into python | 22:44 |
| Dark_Lord | whats that? | 22:44 |
| dudeeee34 | I heard fedora was pretty decent os. | 22:44 |
| erichj | by mark pilgrim | 22:44 |
| Dark_Lord | sry i am a newbie | 22:44 |
| dudeeee34 | But ubuntu is the best. | 22:44 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: modprobe didn't quite fix it. is there anyway to reinstall all of my binaries? | 22:45 |
| jam3s2002 | or better yet, just reconfigure X... wait, I've got an idea | 22:45 |
| joh6nn | Dark_Lord: i was wondering why you'd compiled from source, and i thought maybe you were familiar with a different version of linux | 22:45 |
| RyanPrior | dudeeee34: Fedora tends to be a little more cutting-edge, but the community isn't as big as Ubuntu's. | 22:45 |
| squarebracket | erichj, thanks :) | 22:45 |
| deepak | what does the 'make' command in ubuntu do ? | 22:45 |
| RyanPrior | beam: What is exactly what you want? | 22:45 |
| carandraug | beam: then just install apache. It's not that hard to work with | 22:45 |
| beam | carandraug: So i can publish my webiste using Apache for free? Dont i need to buy a domain name or something first? | 22:45 |
| Gillpy | deepak: man make | 22:45 |
| RyanPrior | deepak: It could do anything. Usually, it initiates a step in the process to build software from source. | 22:46 |
| moDumass | unable to unmount volume, how do i unmount a portable hdd? | 22:46 |
| Dark_Lord | joh6nn: It looked at the web and it asked me to compile it | 22:46 |
| joh6nn | Dark_Lord: in general, ubuntu doesn't want you to compile things from source; you'll usually be better off using apt-get or one of the gui package managers to install the software | 22:46 |
| carandraug | beam, you can no-ip.org for free | 22:46 |
| erichj | Fedora comes with a better default theme and artwork | 22:46 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: all of your binaries? like, the entire install? | 22:46 |
| Dark_Lord | jon6nn: is there anyway to restore it back? | 22:46 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: I managed to fix my issue by commenting out the nvidia line in xorg.conf. I'll fix that later, haha | 22:46 |
| carandraug | for example, www.beam.no-ip.org would direct to your computer. If you want something like www.beam.com will you have to pay | 22:46 |
| beam | carandraug: So i can get those from Apache? | 22:46 |
| joh6nn | jam3s2002: ha! well, whatever gets it limping along for now, huh? | 22:47 |
| jam3s2002 | joh6nn: I use gentoo, my systems are always broken XD | 22:47 |
| beam | carandraug: I understand | 22:47 |
| jam3s2002 | anyways, back to xchat while I fix my ubuntu nvidia job | 22:47 |
| bbs | what is the next release after hardy -- the one in development | 22:47 |
| beam | carandraug: So what does Apache exactly do? | 22:47 |

| Gillpy | beam wikipedia.org/wiki/apache | 22:48 |
| deepak | what is sudo ? | 22:48 |

| carandraug | beam, create your own web pages in html. It's also for programming so you write php and CSS with it as well | 23:11 |
| th0r | Dark_Lord, well, according to the error you already have 2.16.4 installed, but pkg-config was expecting 2.14.5. So you neeed to get rid of 2.14.5, or downgrade from 2.16.4 to 2.14.5. | 23:11 |

| joh6nn | Skyrail: you could try updating it manually? | 23:14 |
| carandraug | beam, nothing that I can remember right now. You already have gimp to edit your images. make sure you save them so they are not big files | 23:14 |

| EruditeHermit | erichj_: will the xorg.conf setting work for non nVidia cards? I read that it was nvidia specific? | 23:17 |
| erichj_ | EruditeHermit: it should | 23:17 |
| beam | carandraug: ok sorry about that | 23:17 |
| carandraug | beam, no problem | 23:18 |
| erichj_ | EruditeHermit: you will have to restart x to find out. ctrl+alt+backspace after you make the change | 23:18 |
| vluther | I added http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ubuntu to my sources.list, and did an apt-get update, and them I tried to upgrade clamav but to no avail | 23:18 |

| EruditeHermit | erichj_: yep I will in a sec | 23:18 |
| erichj_ | vluther: are you running clam av to protect some windows computers on your network? | 23:18 |
| ScheissDrogen | EruditeHermit: always a good tip :backup working xorg.conf... | 23:19 |
| Slade | bbiaf | 23:19 |

| elhoir | hello, does anyone know why i have no sound when playing flash videos in forefox? | 23:21 |
| EruditeHermit | ScheissDrogen: yep I can chroot to fix it | 23:21 |
| tomasko | elhoir: does your sound card work at all? | 23:21 |
| ScheissDrogen | EruditeHermit: simply cp | 23:21 |
| beam | carandraug: i am facing a problem with downloading. I have no problem downloading files from Synaptic but from Firefox i only manage to download PDF files. | 23:22 |
| joh6nn | anyone know if there's a way to change apt.conf settings based on what network you're connected to? | 23:22 |
| elhoir | tomasko: yes | 23:22 |
| Dark_Lord | th0r, i guess i uninstalled it | 23:22 |
| tomasko | elhoir: assuming that it does, can you _ever_ play more than one media at the same time? | 23:22 |

| th0r | Dark_Lord, the folder shouldn't hurt anything. The big question is...does pkg-config now see 2.16.5 or do you still get that error? | 23:23 |
| carandraug | beam, does it happen with all exe files? What's the link for the file? | 23:24 |
| Dark_Lord | th0r, I am trying to install the Xchat 2.8.6 again in a sec | 23:24 |
| Dark_Lord | th0r: I will get you the message in next couple of minutes | 23:24 |
| beam | carandraug: i think yes. Unfortunately i do not save the files i tried to download. Whatever does not work i delete emmediately | 23:25 |
| beam | carandraug: but pretty much most of .exe files, yes | 23:25 |
| elhoir | ok, that was the solution, many thanks :) | 23:26 |
| vluther | am I missing something simple here? after I add a source to apt/sources.list and do an apt-get update.. is there a reason why apt would not be seeing the updated packages? | 23:26 |
| carandraug | beam, you have to save the exe files in Linux. Linux can do nothing with exe files. If you try only to open the file, you'll get an error | 23:26 |
| RyanPrior | carandraug: Wine can execute exe files. | 23:27 |
| beam | RyanPrior: so if i download wine, ill be able to download .exe files SUCCESSFULLY? | 23:28 |
| joh6nn | Skyrail: no idea, then | 23:28 |
| joh6nn | sorry :( | 23:28 |
| AzizLight | is there any way I can start an application maximized? | 23:28 |
| atlef | beam: you do not need wine to download exe files | 23:28 |
| carandraug | RyanPrior, yes, that's correct. Sorry. | 23:28 |
| RyanPrior | beam: Perhaps. Wine isn't 100% compatible with all programs. | 23:28 |

| RyanPrior | beam: E-books in .exe format are probably virus-tinged. :-\ | 23:31 |
| erichj_ | Dark_Lord: it's the newest version I believe | 23:31 |
| th0r | Dark_Lord, looks like maybe you don't have perl installed. I can't get to synaptic....not on a linux computer right now....but it looks like a problem with perl | 23:31 |

| marcules | Good Evening ^^ | 23:51 |
| Slart | baegle: well.. no obvious errors in there.. some interesting lines though.. one about the 'sd' driver needing an update.. never seen that before.. and something about trying to setup pcspkr twice | 23:51 |
| crdlb | alistair: do not edit /usr/bin/compiz | 23:51 |
| baegle | alistair: you need to take whatever action you are trying to take now, but preface it with sudo | 23:51 |
| beam | carandraug: KeePass-1.12-Setup.exe.part | 23:51 |
| baegle | Gnea: No idea what that means. Is "disk 21" an answer? | 23:51 |
| Gnea | Slart: nah, the 'sd' one is quite common | 23:51 |
| crdlb | alistair: the guide you are following is wrong | 23:51 |

| wat | ubottu your guide did nothing to help | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:53 |
| carandraug | beam, the name is no use for me. It's the file in this page? http://daily-soft.blogspot.com/2008/08/keepass-112.html | 23:53 |
| Gnea | wat: you do realize that ubottu is a bot, not a real person, right? | 23:53 |
| ravalox | Thank you kindly, that was the answer! | 23:53 |
| Slart | baegle: is this log from when the cd drives were working or not? | 23:53 |
| webtoe | no worries | 23:53 |
| baegle | Slart: not | 23:53 |
| wat | gnea i know | 23:53 |
| Gnea | baegle: ah, that's actually disk | 23:53 |
| jackzhou | um, can someone tell me how to set video size (using lavc) in mencoder? | 23:53 |
| RequinB4 | where can i find a list of compatible external cd drives? (i've got one in mind) | 23:53 |
| Gnea | baegle: try using the eject command on each and see what happens... like this: eject /dev/sg1, eject /dev/sg2 .. | 23:54 |
| alistair | crdlb, is fusion a chat for this type of thing I am talking about? | 23:54 |
| === jackzhou is now known as cybersach | ||
| crdlb | alistair: yes | 23:54 |
| baegle | Gnea: eject: unable to open on each | 23:54 |
| JoeBanks | Can someone help with a lost root password? | 23:54 |
| alistair | crdlb, OK wilco. | 23:54 |
| AcidPuddle | **** I changed my password a while ago and now evolution is annoying me by requesting a password for accessing the keyring. I looked at System/Preferences/Encryption and Keyrings but I don't see where I can change the pw - any ideas ? | 23:54 |
| Slart | JoeBanks: reboot, select recovery mode, use "passwd" | 23:55 |
| carandraug | JoeBanks, sure. Make sudo passwd and enter the new root password | 23:55 |
| webtoe | JoeBanks: if you have access to the machien put the ubuntu live cd in and boot with it | 23:55 |
| beam | carandraug: no its not it. Nevermind. Its ok. Thank You though | 23:55 |
| Gnea | !root | JoeBanks | 23:55 |
| ubottu | JoeBanks: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:55 |
| erichj_ | RequinB4: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html | 23:55 |
| JoeBanks | How do I get "recovery mode"? | 23:55 |
| Slart | JoeBanks: unless you really mean the root password.. then you can use sudo | 23:55 |
| AcidPuddle | the system passwd IS already changed - It's just that evolution complains when accessing the keyring ! | 23:55 |
| Gnea | JoeBanks: why do you need the root password? | 23:55 |
| ScheissDrogen | kdesudo-kde4 kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 kdebase-bin-kde3 huuhhhmm ??? | 23:56 |
| baegle | JoeBanks: if you have sudo rights you don't need recovery mode | 23:56 |
| furialis | anyone have experience with remastersys? | 23:56 |
| carandraug | beam, that program is in the repositories. Use the synaptic package manager and you'll find it there | 23:56 |
| Guiri | Hey dudes. Does anybody know if I can specific directories in my apache configs? e.g. www.site.com to one directory and somehow have www.site.com/forums/ to another? | 23:56 |
| JoeBanks | I forgot the root password, and my son wants to install stuff, and the hard drive is aparently full. | 23:56 |
| Slart | JoeBanks: when you boot the computer you get a menu.. there's two options for each kernel version, one normal and one for recovery | 23:56 |
| baegle | Guiri: Yes, but ask in #apache | 23:56 |
| beam | carandraug: yes i will. Thanks | 23:56 |
| webtoe | Guiri: yes you can. using virtual domains. Google for that | 23:56 |
| JoeBanks | I'm using 7.0.4. | 23:56 |
| shonen | JoeBanks: if you are a sudo user, it's usually the password you log in with. | 23:56 |
| Guiri | ty baegle & webtoe | 23:56 |
| === mike is now known as Guest22669 | ||
| JoeBanks | He can't login until the hard drive gets cleaned up. | 23:57 |
| erichj_ | ScheissDrogen: if you are installing from the main repo kde4 is going to be the worst experience ever for you | 23:57 |
| Guest22669 | Can anyone here help me with getting my "Shutdown" and "Restart" buttons back? They disappeared... | 23:57 |
| RequinB4 | erchj_: That one's like the other ones i saw - no catgory for external DVD/CD drives | 23:57 |
| DjVMint | anyone with telepathy/empathy experience here? the IM client... | 23:58 |
| soundray | JoeBanks: recovery mode is on the grub menu, second option. Try 'apt-get autoclean' to gain some space when you're booted there | 23:58 |
| JoeBanks | No extra menu comes up when I start the machine. | 23:58 |
| Gnea | baegle: you should do a system upgrade and try the new kernel | 23:58 |
| === Guest22669 is now known as Wally_Dog | ||
| Slart | Guest22669: right click the grey gnome panel, select "+Add to panel".. find the buttons there and add them | 23:58 |
| cybersach | does anyone know how to set video size in mencoder? | 23:58 |
| soundray | JoeBanks: you may have to hit Esc tosee it | 23:58 |
| JoeBanks | I don't get a grub menu. | 23:58 |
| shonen | JoeBanks: Are you savvy enough to pull out a live CD, mount the harddrive and delete files that you don't need? | 23:58 |
| JoeBanks | OK - I'll try that. BRB. | 23:58 |
| webtoe | cybersach: look for mencoder's irc channel. They'll be more knowledgable | 23:58 |
| baegle | Gnea: I'm at the latest since yesterday | 23:58 |
| Slart | isn't the grub menu enabled by default? | 23:58 |
| webtoe | cybersach: or on their website/man page as its in there and a common thing to do | 23:59 |
| JoeBanks | shonen: kind of. It's been a while since I've been "intimate" with Linux. | 23:59 |
| ScheissDrogen | erichj_: maybe if its stable gets in upgrade anyway, i don't really have need for it | 23:59 |
| JoeBanks | Let me try the grub menu first...brb | 23:59 |
| shonen | JoeBanks: Well that is worst case scenario haha | 23:59 |
| carandraug | Slart, not anymore. You have to press Esc but you can change it in menu.lst | 23:59 |
| kenjy_01 | hello, can you help me guys? I can't run apt-get upgrade, it shows this: http://rafb.net/p/Q5oPKy50.html | 23:59 |
| RequinB4 | I'm looking for a hardware compatibility list for external optical drives | 23:59 |
