| webtoe | RequinB4: you're best just googling the drive you're looking at and 'linux' | 00:00 |
| Cyber_Stalker | my ubuntu box does not want to connect to the network correctly. i seem to have very limited network access and no net access at all, all other machines on the network have net access | 00:00 |
| webtoe | RequinB4: though i don't see why most drives wouldn't just work nowadays | 00:00 |
| JoeBanks | OK - I have the grub menu and it shows recovery mode. | 00:00 |
| paolo | Hi *. I have a very strange problem with gnome. It doesn't recognize images IF they are named .jpg or .JPG . After I rename them, they work fine. I only have a problem with a user. Where does gnome store this kind of conf? | 00:00 |
| Cyber_Stalker | can any one provide a solution to network difficulty? | 00:00 |
| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: do you have anymore information? How are the machines connected to the net? are you able to get an ip address? | 00:01 |
| cybersach | webtoe: is there an mencoder irc channel? i've googled and so far have noething | 00:01 |
| baegle | is there some command that would do hardware discovery for optical drives? | 00:01 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: please do a 'sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/compizconfig-backend-gconf*deb', then try again | 00:01 |
| ScheissDrogen | Cyber_Stalker: become more specific | 00:01 |
| RequinB4 | webtoe -- i'm with you on both counts, i just don't want to shift through 12 pages of vender pages on google | 00:02 |
| Slart | paolo: do they stop working if you rename them back to the original name? | 00:02 |
| carandraug | paolo, right click in the file and select properties. There's a tab for that | 00:02 |
| webtoe | cybersach: well its made by the mplayer people so ask them maybe. And the webpage is mplayerhq.hu | 00:02 |
| baegle | Is there some script that is run during boot that that I can run to see if it find my optical drives instead of rebooting over and over again? | 00:02 |
| soundray | baegle: weren't you saying that your drives are sometimes recognized? | 00:02 |

| webtoe | RequinB4: well there won't be a compatibility list. If you don't see forum/mailing list posts of people saying the drive is rubbish then you're probably ok | 00:02 |
| soundray | baegle: that proves that what you are looking at is *not* a compatibility problem | 00:02 |
| Slart | paolo: hmm.. weird. I didn't think linux used filenames for filetypes.. | 00:03 |
| Wally_Dog | How can I get my Shutdown and Restart buttons back in the Quit menu? | 00:03 |
| Cyber_Stalker | webtoe all the other machines are connected to the network using DHCP unfortunatly no matter what config i use on the linux box (DHCP, Static IP etc) it wont work | 00:03 |

| Wally_Dog | Thanks legend2440 | 00:03 |
| baegle | soundray: But what can I do to find out what it actually is? | 00:03 |
| Cyber_Stalker | and my mysql deamon doesnt like starting, it wont launch, always fails but ill fix that in a bit | 00:03 |
| Slart | Wally_Dog: what does your quit menu look like now? you just have log off and lock? | 00:03 |
| paolo | carandraug: you mean "open with"? that is not my problem unfortunately | 00:03 |

| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: when set to dhcp, does your linux box not get an IP address at all? | 00:04 |
| soundray | baegle: have you pastebinned your dmesg output as has been requested? | 00:04 |
| paolo | carandraug: e.g. it woudln't create thumbnails for those files | 00:04 |
| Cyber_Stalker | webtoe it is assigned an uip | 00:04 |
| baegle | yes | 00:04 |
| Cyber_Stalker | ip* | 00:04 |
| baegle | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38627/ | 00:04 |
| carandraug | paolo, if you try to open it with eye of gnome instead of just double click on the image, will it open? | 00:04 |
| furialis | Cyber_Stalker : can you ping it? | 00:04 |
| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: what IP address is it? can you ping other machines in your network? | 00:05 |
| Cyber_Stalker | webtoe ifconfig outputs an ipv6 address | 00:05 |
| carandraug | paolo, nautilus won't create thumbnails for images bigger than a certain size | 00:05 |
| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: but no ipv4? Are you exclusively using ip6? | 00:05 |
| Cyber_Stalker | Webspot_ im not using ipv6 at all | 00:05 |
| paolo | carandraug: the size is not the problem (I tried that) | 00:05 |
| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: well then it didn't get an IP address | 00:05 |
| paolo | carandraug: e.g. I cannot even choose them as a desktop background until i rename them to something else | 00:06 |
| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: open a comman line and type the following: sudo dhclient | 00:06 |

| Cyber_Stalker | ok webtoe | 00:06 |
| soundray | baegle: there is no trace of optical drives in that output. You have a hardware problem. Check your BIOS settings and maybe ask in ##hardware | 00:06 |
| Slart | paolo: I talked to someone else in here a couple of days ago with the same problem.. we didn't find a solution then either | 00:06 |
| paolo | carandraug: do you have any idea where gnome keeps these kind of informations? I tried with an other user and I don't get this problem.. | 00:06 |
| webtoe | Cyber_Stalker: does it say something like: No responses and no leases in database sleeping... | 00:06 |
| paolo | Slart: did he file a bug? | 00:06 |
| * majnoon Planet Hell - Once - Nightwish (x«amarok) | 00:06 | |
| * majnoon Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - - ACDC (x«amarok) | 00:07 | |
| paolo | Slart: the problem is that it is useless to fill a bug until I understand what kind of problem is | 00:07 |
| Slart | paolo: not sure.. but it was the exact same thing.. but he wanted to use the image for background.. and he didn't get the right click menu | 00:07 |
| paolo | Slart: maybe it was me | 00:07 |

| ross | soundray: it see it but it doesn't have what i want | 00:35 |
| carandraug | beam, it's a compiz effect that blurs some windows, as if they're moving really fast. Quite a useless effect in my opinion | 00:35 |
| soundray | ross: why don't you ask for what you want, then? | 00:35 |
| ross | soundray: what about functions like vlookup(), today(), or isblank()? i need those to set up my excel sheet | 00:35 |
| kenjy_01 | mneptok: muestra http://rafb.net/p/uLGuD734.html | 00:35 |
| mneptok | kenjy_01: not a very descriptive error message. want to pastebin something more useful? | 00:35 |
| kenjy_01 | mneptok: done :) http://rafb.net/p/uLGuD734.html | 00:35 |
| Lincid | ross: Try Ctrl+F2 while in it. | 00:35 |
| beam | carandraug: but im not using any effects | 00:36 |
| mneptok | kenjy_01: "`compizconfig-backend-gconf' is missing final newline | 00:36 |
| soundray | ross: all of those are listed here | 00:36 |
| mneptok | kenjy_01: talk to the maintainer | 00:36 |
| beam | carandraug: it happens only with blender | 00:36 |
| ross | soundray: yes i can see it now i just can't figure out why it's not working... | 00:36 |
| kenjy_01 | mneptok: ok so no way to remove it? | 00:36 |
| ross | soundray: one sec...let me try again | 00:36 |
| Wally_Dog | Can someone here help me configure Compiz to work with my ATi Mobility Radeon 9000 in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron? | 00:37 |
| soundray | ross: the parameters may be slightly different from those in Excel | 00:37 |
| carandraug | beam, then I don't know. Like I told you before I never used Blender. That seems to me to be a Blender problem and then it should be asked in #blenderchat or in #blender | 00:37 |
| ross | soundray: seems like it - let me try that now.. | 00:37 |
| mneptok | kenjy_01: not easily with broken package config contents. | 00:37 |
| electrofreak | Does anyone here have the Razer Copperhead mouse? And if you do... do you have any problems with it in ubuntu? | 00:37 |
| minimax | beam: what error when you use blender? | 00:37 |
| beam | carandraug: carandraug: Is there one? | 00:37 |
| kenjy_01 | mnetptok: ok, but is not the only one | 00:38 |
| minimax | electrofreak: I have problems using any USB mouse on very old PCs | 00:38 |

| ross | soundray: yes it is different | 00:38 |
| ross | soundray: there are 4 parameters in excel...Openoffice only 3..no wonder why it's not working. | 00:38 |
| soundray | mneptok: that package installs fine here, so I suggested changing the repository, but kenjy_01 knows better | 00:38 |
| beam | minimax: ive downloaded blender ok, and when i open the software to u se it, the window moves really fast i cannot use it at all | 00:38 |
| ross | soundray: excel and open office do not use the same parameters... | 00:38 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: the problem is not the repository | 00:39 |
| linuxfce | my headphone jack on my laptop doesnt work | 00:39 |
| carandraug | beam, yes there is. I checked before telling you. You'll need a registered nick if you want to ask in #blender, hence the reason I told you fisrt to ask in #blenderchat as this doesn't require you to get a registered nick | 00:39 |
| linuxfce | i think it used to | 00:39 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: then explain why the package installs fine over here | 00:39 |
| electrofreak | minimax, USB mice in general shouldn't be a problem for me... just wondering about this specific mouse | 00:39 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: hint: it's because the repository I'm using supplies a non-broken package | 00:39 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: because the package its fine, the db of apt its broken here | 00:39 |
| webtoe | linuxfce: try using alsamixer and make sure the sliders are set ok | 00:39 |
| Wally_Dog | Is there any program that I can use to listen to Shoutcast in Ubuntu? | 00:39 |
| linuxfce | webtoe did that | 00:39 |
| Miyavix3 | Does anyone know why my sound is so low on my laptop? It's on max and I can barely hear it with sounds around. | 00:39 |
| linuxfce | webtoe the speakers work ok, but the headphones dont | 00:40 |
| Wally_Dog | Is there any program that I can use to listen to Shoutcast in Ubuntu? | 00:40 |
| minimax | electrofreak: you could try a USB->PS/2 adapter if that's the case | 00:40 |
| linuxfce | wally_dog xmms works | 00:40 |
| carandraug | beam, since you use xchat, just go to line that says FreeNode in the left of the window, and enter "/join #blenderchat" without the " of course | 00:40 |
| beam | carandraug: thats cool. Ill have a look at it. Thanks | 00:40 |
| Wally_Dog | Thanks linuxfce | 00:40 |
| webtoe | Miyavix3: try using alsamixer fro mthe command line | 00:40 |
| linuxfce | wally_dog vlc also works | 00:40 |
| Cyber_Stalker | webtoe its fallen over again, not dns this time | 00:40 |
| Flannel | Wally_Dog: Yes. Although you probably will find them mentioning icecast instead of shoutcast | 00:40 |

| soundray | kenjy_01: no, it's the package that's broken | 00:40 |
| linuxfce | flannel it works | 00:40 |
| ross | soundray: thank you.... | 00:41 |
| Miyavix3 | webtoe: ok I'll try | 00:41 |
| ismael_ | problem: i have ubuntu 8.04, gnome-obex-server installed and activated receive files from any device in bluetooth miniaplication of hardy. I can synchronize my pc with my nokia but is impossible to send files from my nokia to my pc. I read in google is a bug but anyone have a solution in the web. How can i fix this problem? | 00:41 |
| electrofreak | does anyone here have the Razer AC-1 Sound Card? and if so.... any problems with it in Ubuntu?? | 00:41 |
| Flannel | linuxfce: xmms isn't in the repos anymore. | 00:41 |
| soundray | ross: occasionally, I get better results with gnumeric instead of oocalc when I have renitent xls files | 00:41 |
| electrofreak | Flannel, what do people use these days, then?? | 00:41 |
| ross | soundray: what is gnumeric? | 00:41 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: the package is not broken | 00:41 |
| linuxfce | well it works, personally i use vlc | 00:41 |
| ross | soundray: maybe that would be a better choice for me | 00:42 |
| krim | I'm converting a bunch of flacs to mp3 with Sound Converter and I see in system monitor that it's switching between the two cpu cores. If I started another Sound Converter process and let it run at the same time would I get the mp3s twice as fast? | 00:42 |
| Flannel | linuxfce: It can't work, it isn't installable. | 00:42 |

| ross | soundray: how can i go about getting gnumeric | 00:42 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: just because you get a correct instalation don't means that my package were broken | 00:42 |
| Wally_Dog | !xmms | 00:42 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. | 00:42 |

| ross | soundray: what's the command to install gnumeric? | 00:42 |
| zelda1 | is there a forum for mythbuntu? | 00:42 |
| Wally_Dog | !audacious | 00:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious | 00:42 |

| soundray | kenjy_01: what's the risk in testing my suggestion? | 00:43 |
| ross | soundray: let's see if they use the same paramater format... | 00:43 |
| remi | has anyone ever heard of a mysterious "Shared Files" folder in ~ ? I keep removing it, it always come back? Any idea about which software would be creating it? | 00:43 |
| linuxfce | i wont debate opinions | 00:43 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: that I lose time with someting that is not going to solve the problem | 00:43 |
| Miyavix3 | webtoe: thanks! | 00:43 |
| webtoe | no worries | 00:43 |
| Miyavix3 | Works great | 00:43 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: meens that you need to learn some thinks | 00:43 |
| webtoe | you're the third person to ask that in two days | 00:43 |
| Miyavix3 | This channel is awesome <3 | 00:43 |
| webtoe | and i had teh same problem yesterday | 00:43 |
| racvets1 | hi, I was trying to rotate my monitor 90*, so I went to Screen Resolution>Rotate. Now I just get a tan screen, a mouse (it's rotated), and nothing loads. Same problems as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892108. Anyone have any ideas to fix it? I was thinking like a text file to edit (I can get the command prompt by Ctrl+Alt+F?) | 00:43 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: instead you're wasting time looking for a solution that doesn't exist | 00:44 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: and mine, yet again | 00:44 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: there is a solution, this is open source | 00:44 |
| Wally_Dog | Ok... how do I listen to Shoutcast/Icecast with Audacious??? | 00:44 |
| linuxfce | I used to use alsaconfig to fix issues like this. Does alsaconfig no longer work? | 00:44 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: testing my suggestion would take roughly two minutes. You've been blasting off smart comments for half an hour now | 00:45 |
| webtoe | i used to as well but found a post somewhere suggesting running alsamixer | 00:45 |
| Storrgie | can anyone assist me in setting up my samba server? | 00:45 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: your pride stands in your way, massively | 00:45 |
| bobertdos | wally_dog: It might just be best to install it first and see for yourself. Play around with it, it couldn't hurt much. | 00:45 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: opening firefox can take less than 2 minutes and that is not going to fix the problem | 00:45 |
| linuxfce | alsaconfig was different though it would search for usable devices, enable them, restart the service | 00:45 |
| Storrgie | can anyone assist me in setting up my samba server? | 00:45 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: nobody has suggested that, though | 00:46 |
| dmsuperman_ | Is there a guide in setting up subversion with my existing apache setup? | 00:46 |
| ismael_ | problem: i have ubuntu 8.04, gnome-obex-server installed and activated receive files from any device in bluetooth miniaplication of hardy.

Thanks for read my bad English and give me a solution... | 00:46 |
| carandraug | beam, there's two spaces between the chat. On the left you have the channel switcher, in the right you have the users list (at least by default). In the channel switch there should be a line that says FreeNode. However, it should be easier for you to just go to the menu Server and select "join channel..." | 00:46 |
| kenjy_01 | sundray: opening firefox and changing the sources are the same kind of sugestions | 00:47 |
| Flannel | dmsuperman_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SubversionInstall and/or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion | 00:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | !subversion | 00:47 |
| ubottu | subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion | 00:47 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: you must be much smarter than I am. It just strikes me as odd that you still need to approach this channel for help | 00:47 |
| usuario | ofu | 00:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | Flannel: awesome, thanks :d | 00:48 |
| beam | carandraug: thanks alot i found it :) | 00:48 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: and? approaching a IRC channel means that Im less than you or what? | 00:48 |
| Shadow6363 | does anyone know how to search for files that match a certain mime-type | 00:48 |
| Shadow6363 | kind of like find / -name \*.flv -print but rather than looking at the file extension, it looks at the mime-type | 00:48 |
| linuxfce | OK alsa is messed up or something because if i turn the volume up all the way with headphones I hear a heavily distorted version of whats playing. | 00:48 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: if I don't do what you whan its because what you suggest is not the solution | 00:48 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: no, but receiving help and rejecting it for the wrong reason makes you appear silly | 00:49 |
| kenjy_01 | soundray: Im not rejecting it for the wrong reason | 00:49 |
| BiohazardSteven | hey guys i was wondering If someone can help me i'm running ubuntu and i'm running steam with wine and when i go to play counter strike source i get really bad fps like 10-15 and i have compiz disabled any ideas? | 00:49 |
| Wally_Dog | Ok, I switched from Audacious to BMPx, and my problem is solved (I can do Icecast or Shoutcast) | 00:49 |
| soundray | kenjy_01: and you're so certain about it that you wouldn't even try it, to see whether a different mirror might supply a non-broken package. | 00:49 |
| Lincid | kenjy_01: Pride is the wrong reason, unfortunately | 00:49 |
| racvets1 | hi, I was trying to rotate my monitor 90*, so I went to Screen Resolution>Rotate. Now I just get a tan screen, a mouse (it's rotated), and nothing loads. Same problems as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892108. Anyone have any ideas to fix it? I was thinking like a text file to edit (I can get the command prompt by Ctrl+Alt+F?) | 00:50 |
| Flannel | BiohazardSteven: Try disabling compiz. Also, you might get more help in #winehq | 00:50 |
| BiohazardSteven | I did disable compiz... | 00:50 |
| basix | is there a way to install ubuntu through command line mode? | 00:51 |
| soundray | basix: not entirely commandline, but the alternate CD has a text-mode installer | 00:51 |
| soundray | !alternate | basix | 00:51 |
| ubottu | basix: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 00:51 |
| J1GGZ | .install hecalled.theshit.poop | 00:51 |
| sarthor | go to #ubuntu for support, we do not support Ubuntu here....... i am unable to get help here also. .and the debian users are also not agree to help me?? | 00:51 |
| Pici | J1GGZ: Thats not appropriate. | 00:52 |
| J1GGZ | sry | 00:52 |
| BiohazardSteven | So your perrrty much telling me to try and disable compiz when i said in my question that i already tired that? | 00:53 |
| Pici | sarthor: What are you trying to do? | 00:53 |
| sarthor | Pici, i cant login to remote host via ssh | 00:53 |
| Pici | sarthor: Is ssh running on the remote host? Are you getting an error? What username are you using, does that exist on the remote server? | 00:54 |
| sarthor | Pici, you can check here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/38646/ that i think i logged in my the terminal got hanged every time. and i am unable to do any thing there. | 00:54 |
| sarthor | pici. yes. | 00:54 |
| basix | soundray, my actual problem is that when I run Ubuntu in a VM, it doesn't detect the monitor's resolution correctly. Hence a part of the installation wizard's window is hidden and I cant proceed with the install! :( | 00:54 |
| Flannel | BiohazardSteven: I misread your compiz bits, but the rest still stands, they'll be able to give you much better help in #winehq | 00:55 |
| sarthor | Pici, please check my pastebin link, hope that will help you and will save yourtime too. | 00:55 |
| arthurmaciel | hi, how can I access windows partition through gnome? | 00:55 |
| SebNaitsabes | yes you can | 00:55 |
| SebNaitsabes | !samba | 00:56 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:56 |
| soundray | basix: well, text mode would certainly help there. Or maybe try the Safe Graphics boot option | 00:56 |
| soundray | !ntfs | arthurmaciel | 00:56 |
| ubottu | arthurmaciel: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 00:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | oh | 00:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | ah | 00:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | wrong one | 00:56 |
| basix | soundray, both dont work | 00:56 |
| carandraug | arthurmaciel, yes you can. It's probably in /media/something | 00:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | that's over a network. otherwise you should have a in built driver for accesing your WIndows partition if your on Gutsy or Hardy | 00:56 |
| soundray | basix: you mean the alternate cd doesn't work? | 00:56 |
| Pici | sarthor: Does anything happen if you type 'exit' after you connect? When its 'hanging'? | 00:57 |
| soundray | basix: what's your virtualization software? | 00:57 |
| sarthor | Pici, let me check | 00:57 |
| sarthor | Pici, noting happens | 00:58 |
| soundray | sarthor: do you get newlines when you hit enter? | 00:58 |

| sarthor | yes. but blank... nothing on that line | 00:58 |
| sarthor | and the cursor is just on the start on the line hanged there. | 00:59 |
| Pici | sarthor: Do you have direct access to the 'remote computer'? Can you ssh into localhost from that? | 00:59 |
| soundray | sarthor: good, that means it's probably hanging on one of the startup scripts. Does Ctrl-C do anything? (sorry Pici) | 00:59 |
| Pici | soundray: Go ahead, you're making more process than I. | 00:59 |
| sarthor | soundray, nothing working | 00:59 |
| sarthor | soundray, no ctrlC or Z. | 01:00 |
| soundray | sarthor: but Ctrl-C doesn't close the connection. Then it's definitely not an ssh problem. Can you login as another user on that system? | 01:00 |

| sacamano | I have two questions. Over the last few months, it started something weird. I cant watch a flash video while using any media player, for example, if Totem is playing, and I open up youtube, youtube will have no sound. If I have youtube open, totem will play like 1/10th of its normal speed. Any idea? | 01:02 |
| klndz3 | Can someone help me with a wireless networking issue? My WiFi worked fine until the power went out while I was updating, and now it does not detect any networks. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38071/ That is ifconfig http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38072/ and this is lspci | 01:02 |
| sarthor | soundray, please tell me xact command to login localhost | 01:02 |
| sacamano | And 2nd question- i assume this is a problem with my flash installation, but over the last few days randomly it will play for about 5 seconds and then skip back to the beginning. Any suggestions? | 01:03 |
| soundray | sarthor: I did, just copy and paste everything between the quotes | 01:03 |
| sarthor | soundray, i think i can login localhost via ssh | 01:03 |
| bobertdos | sacamano: You and niadh are asking about the same thing. It is a known problem with PulseAudio. | 01:03 |
| soundray | sarthor: do you get a password request there, too? | 01:03 |
| sarthor | soundray, its working | 01:03 |
| sarthor | yes.. and accepted too | 01:04 |
| starenka | hi, got lampp related q: how can i access http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php ? it wants a password, but i don't know what login... tried mysql password, my login & pass - nothing worked | 01:04 |
| sacamano | bobertdos, is that the first one, the Youtube/Totem one? If so, what happened? It used to work fine | 01:04 |
| niadh | bobertdos: Can we switch to a different audio server for now then? Or is it just wait for intrepid? | 01:04 |
| soundray | sarthor: okay. Are all the remote locations that you've tried on the internet, or have you tried a LAN address as well? | 01:04 |
| keta | !plugin | 01:04 |

| 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. :-) | 01:05 |
| sarthor | soundray, one is on lan, and others are on internt, inside the router, but i can access that from my other ubuntu pc. | 01:05 |
| tonohono | Halp! Pulseaudio is a bane. I've done a "sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove" and yet it still finds a way to start at boot. Short of uninstalling it, what step am I missing to prevent it from starting at boot? | 01:05 |
| Cyber_Stalker | soundray i dont think it will die out because of sites :D | 01:05 |
| sacamano | !question prorpiodisperato | 01:05 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:05 |
| bobertdos | niadh, sacamano: I think you can reinstall Alsa if you really want to, but I don't know much about the procedure and it really wouldn't be the best idea anyway. | 01:05 |
| prorpiodisperato | ok, i've got a problema with ubuntuSTUDIO... | 01:05 |
| sacamano | bobertdos, ty. | 01:06 |
| sarthor | soundray, its my laptop, and i only am not able to access from this laptop to any remote pc... while i can access that pcs from my desktkp pc easily | 01:06 |
| niadh | bobertdos: Alsa looks to be installed for legacy reasons, so should just be a matter of switching in system->preferences->sound, I hope... | 01:06 |
| klndz3 | Can someone help me with a wireless networking issue? My WiFi worked fine until the power went out while I was updating, and now it does not detect any networks. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38071/ That is ifconfig http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38072/ and this is lspci. I ran dpkg --configure -a and it ended up freezing at "Setting up language-pack-en-base (1:7.10+20080205)... Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8" | 01:06 |
| sacamano | prorpiodisperato, go ahead and ask, but you might want to check the ubuntu studio if it's specific to that. A good chance it's ubuntu though, so ask away | 01:06 |
| cybersach | how do i force close a program? (comparable to task manager in windows) | 01:07 |
| soundray | sarthor: can you login as another user locally (create one if necessary), and see if you get the same problem? | 01:07 |
| niadh | sacamano: Do what I just suggested | 01:07 |
| orgthingy | how can I kick specific people out of my wireless connection? | 01:07 |
| bobertdos | niadh: Well, that would be a place to start, certainly. Some factoids to hit may be !sound and !pulseaudio | 01:07 |
| orgthingy | just incase, they know my password | 01:07 |
| soundray | sarthor: that would narrow it down to a user config or a system-wide config issue | 01:07 |
| sacamano | cybersach, if you enable CNTL-ALT-DELETE in Gnome, there is a similar task manager. If not, type top in terminal | 01:07 |
| sarthor | soundray, you mean to say to creat another user in the remote pc?? | 01:07 |
| cybersach | okay | 01:07 |
| niadh | sacamano: Switch everything in system->preferences->alsa and it should work, reboot to double check. | 01:07 |
| soundray | sarthor: no, I mean locally | 01:07 |
| sarthor | ok. | 01:08 |
| sarthor | i will creat now.. | 01:08 |
| soundray | sarthor: there's an easier way actually | 01:08 |
| arthurmaciel | soundray, SebNaitsabes and carandraug: thanks | 01:08 |
| niadh | system->preferences->sound TO alsa | 01:08 |
| pierrelux | cybersach: System --- System Monitor --- Processes tab | 01:08 |
| sacamano | cybersach, and then you can type kill "processnumber" variable | 01:08 |
| cybersach | .okay, thanks | 01:08 |
| soundray | sarthor: move your .ssh temporarily: 'mv $HOME/.ssh $HOME/ssh-backup' | 01:08 |
| sacamano | niadh, so you'd recommend changing everything to ALSA? | 01:08 |
| pierrelux | cybersach: *In the administration menu | 01:08 |
| sarthor | soundray, user created, now how to login to that user, should i logout now?? | 01:09 |
| mdg | hello! I have a console sound questions regarding cdrom | 01:09 |
| UncleTimmy | Has anyone heard of dvd burner trays closing immediately after being opened? | 01:09 |
| orgthingy | how can I kick specific people out of my wireless connection? | 01:09 |
| sarthor | soundray, i am using gui,..can i login to that user in terminal?? | 01:09 |
| niadh | sacamano: Well yeah, run whereis alsa, just to ensure it's installed on your system but if so i have reports of it working, my friend is rebooting now just to double check it works, wait 5 min can confirm if it'll work or not. | 01:09 |
| soundray | sarthor: no, it'll be easier to 'ssh newuser@localhost', then 'ssh user@remotehost' from there | 01:09 |
| coder316 | Hey. I just installed Xubuntu onto my mom's laptop and I'm trying to get a usb Belkin wifi device working. I don't have an internet connection without it, since the ethernet port on the laptop died a long time ago. Can somebody please help? | 01:09 |
| soundray | sarthor: yes | 01:09 |
| Cyber_Stalker | orgthingy only allow them to connect by use of macs | 01:09 |
| cybersach | how do i enable ctrl+alt+delete shortcut? | 01:09 |
| Cyber_Stalker | mac addresses in your router settings | 01:10 |
| Cyber_Stalker | :D | 01:10 |
| Cyber_Stalker | *gone | 01:10 |
| cybersach | or do i just go hotkeys and make it? | 01:10 |
| steven__ | #winehq | 01:10 |
| sarthor | soundray, loggedin via ssh, | 01:10 |
| prorpiodisperato | has someone got fast track ultra from m-audio working with Hardy - RT? thank you! | 01:10 |
| orgthingy | Cyber_Stalker : HOW? | 01:10 |
| orgthingy | ah | 01:10 |
| mib_afhw42 | Hi, I have a 64 bit machine --- should I install the 64bit version of ubuntu? | 01:10 |
| orgthingy | router settings? but how :'( | 01:10 |
| orgthingy | im noob in these things | 01:10 |
| bobertdos | orgthingy: It would probably be better to ask in a networking channel, but yes, like Cyber_Stalker says, use MAC filtering or encrypt the connection via your router configuration. | 01:10 |
| niadh | mib_afhw42: Depends, 32bit has better application support for 3rd parties | 01:10 |
| mdg | What controls sound playback for cdrom drive? | 01:11 |
| orgthingy | networking channels? | 01:11 |
| sarthor | soundray, i tried to access the remote pc from that user, so same problem... 1st i ssh to ssh khan@localhost and then to remote pc. | 01:11 |
| mib_afhw42 | niadh: Can't I still install 32bit applications, though? | 01:11 |
| orgthingy | they know what Linux is? | 01:11 |
| orgthingy | wow | 01:11 |
| IRWolfie- | ? | 01:11 |
| soundray | mib_afhw42: it's slightly easier to deal with a 32bit system, especially if you are installing proprietary programs | 01:11 |
| niadh | mib_afhw42: If you can live without flash or java, or are prepared to prod them a bit to make em work, yeah. | 01:11 |
| Cyber_Stalker | orgthingy mac addresses | 01:11 |
| Cyber_Stalker | log into your router and set it up | 01:11 |
| orgthingy | how can i log into my router? | 01:11 |
| mib_afhw42 | Hm, I think I'll go with 32 bit. Thanks niadh. I forgot about flash and java! Definitely need those... | 01:11 |
| orgthingy | mib_afhw42 : wait | 01:12 |
| niadh | sacamano: It works, set everything to alsa and reboot. | 01:12 |
| orgthingy | go to getdeb.net | 01:12 |
| orgthingy | get 65-bit | 01:12 |
| coder316 | can somebody please help me get wireless internet working? | 01:12 |
| orgthingy | 64** | 01:12 |
| sacamano | niadh, Thanks a ton. | 01:12 |
| FloodBot1 | orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:12 |
| Lincid | niadh: I'm 64bit and don't have much problem with Flash. :) But eh, Java I can't speak much for, yet. | 01:12 |
| soundray | sarthor: okay. Are you ready to remove ssh and reinstall it? | 01:12 |
| starenka | orgthingy: what type do you have ? manufacturer / model? | 01:12 |
| mib_afhw42 | I need java for some of my courses | 01:12 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | 65 bit :D just a bit better than 64 | 01:12 |
| unr3a1 | hey all | 01:12 |
| mdg | :coder316 what kind of card are you trying to setup? | 01:12 |
| niadh | Lincid: Soon as java works I'll move to 64bit, I know there are ways and means for flash, but need java too. | 01:12 |
| Lincid | Daisuke_Laptop: lol | 01:12 |
| orgthingy | starenka : i dont want to wake my parents (in parents room) but, whats name of program and ill figure out tomorrow morning :) | 01:13 |
| unr3a1 | I deleted my flash drive, and forgot that there was a folder on there that I had not backed up yet. | 01:13 |
| orgthingy | but it was "thomson" or something | 01:13 |
| coder316 | it's a usb-based Belkin FD7050 | 01:13 |
| unr3a1 | is there anyway to recover that? | 01:13 |
| niadh | anyways, see ya | 01:13 |
| soundray | niadh: java is fine on 64bit, just the java browser plugin is difficutl | 01:13 |
| soundray | *difficult | 01:13 |
| steven__ | hi | 01:13 |
| bobertdos | orgthingy: If your questions are not Ubuntu specific, I'd recommend joining #wireless or a channel along those lines. | 01:13 |
| mdg | Oh, I have one of those. you need to verify what chipset it is using - hold on one second | 01:13 |
| starenka | orgthingy: routers are configured mostly via browser e.g you go to 192.168.1.1 and log into the setting app | 01:13 |
| sarthor | soundray, i logged out , so i iwas unable to read your last msg. | 01:14 |
| mib_afhw42 | I'll just stick with 32bit :-D | 01:14 |
| unr3a1 | anyone? | 01:14 |
| soundray | sarthor: do you want to try removing ssh completely and reinstall it? | 01:14 |
| soundray | mib_afhw42: you don't lose much | 01:14 |
| prorpiodisperato | ??ubuntustudio VS m-audio fast track ultra?? | 01:14 |
| sarthor | soundray, Yes. no problem. how to remove it completely? | 01:14 |
| pierrelux | I have a fresh install of hardy but it fails to detect my bluetooth devices from cli or the gnome applet. Is there some additional packages to be installed to get it worked ? | 01:15 |
| soundray | sarthor: 'sudo apt-get purge openssh-client' | 01:15 |
| starenka | orgthingy: try to ifconfig and than use the getaway ip as the one in browser. if ur lucky you will get the manufacturer type soecs in the dialog and you can google out default login ;) | 01:15 |
| bobertdos | unr3a1: Sometimes, Ubuntu creates a .Trash directory (hidden) that has backups of data in it. | 01:15 |
| unr3a1 | does ubuntu create this directory anywhere else besides the flash drive itself? | 01:15 |
| orgthingy | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M | 01:15 |
| orgthingy | what does that do? | 01:15 |
| soundray | sarthor: then make sure /etc/ssh is gone, and reinstall with 'sudo apt-get install openssh-client' | 01:15 |
| orgthingy | is that a virus :D ? | 01:15 |
| orgthingy | please say yes | 01:15 |
| FloodBot1 | orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:15 |
| RequinB4 | Why don't all sites use SSL encryption | 01:15 |
| RequinB4 | orgthingy: that command will wipe your hard drive | 01:16 |
| RequinB4 | iirc | 01:16 |
| sarthor | soundray, i created new user khan. no it says khan is not sudoers file? what to do? | 01:16 |
| bobertdos | unr3a1: Unfortunately not. When you say you "deleted" the dirve, do you mean you completely reformatted it? | 01:16 |
| unr3a1 | bobertdos: I deleted it in ubuntu | 01:16 |
| orgthingy | oh cool | 01:16 |
| Sesquimegistus | coder316, what is you problem? | 01:16 |
| soundray | sarthor: enter 'exit' to log out of khan's shell and get back to your original user shell | 01:17 |
| bobertdos | unr3a1: Did you do it using the terminal or graphically? | 01:17 |
| coder316 | Sesquimegistus, I can't get online with my wireless usb Belkin device | 01:17 |
| unr3a1 | bobertdos, then I brought it to a windows computer and saw that it hadn't actually gotten deleted. (files were dumped into that hidden folder) so I formatted it using the windows formatter | 01:17 |
| sarthor | soundray, /etc/ssh dir is still there | 01:18 |
| Sesquimegistus | What kind of error message are you getting? Is Ubuntu recognizing you Belkin USB as a wireless ethernet client? | 01:18 |
| porncake | f'coder316: i have a belkin too, mailed them about the issue there is no linux support at all | 01:18 |
| porncake | f'coder316: and ndiswrapper doesnt like it either so i bought antoher carc | 01:18 |
| kcman1 | what is the wine help room listing? | 01:19 |
| sarthor | soundray, and inside files are | 01:19 |
| sarthor | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0M 2008-05-13 15:36 blacklist.DSA-1024 | 01:19 |
| sarthor | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0M 2008-05-13 15:36 blacklist.RSA-2048 | 01:19 |
| soundray | sarthor: do a 'sudo rm -r /etc/ssh' (careful, don't mistype) | 01:19 |
| mdg | coder316: you still with me? | 01:19 |
| coder316 | Sesquimegistus, I think it is, but in Network Settings, it shows up as grayed out | 01:19 |
| sarthor | sOK | 01:19 |
| bobertdos | unr3a1: Oh, well then I think you're in trouble. I don't know if any of the recovery stuff available works on solid state media.......You can try | 01:19 |
| bobertdos | !recover | unr3a1 | 01:19 |
| ubottu | unr3a1: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 01:19 |
| Wally_Dog | Can anyone help me setup Compiz/Emerald on Ubuntu 8.04 with my ATi Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics card? I could really use some help with this... | 01:19 |
| dmsuperman_ | What's a good application to sort/rename my mp3s based on patterns i build from id3 information? | 01:20 |
| soundray | dmsuperman_: exfalso or easytag | 01:20 |
| dmsuperman_ | Also, something that can do the reverse (read id3 info via pattern matching in filenames) | 01:20 |
| carandraug | dmsuperman_, EasyTAG is what you're looking for | 01:20 |
| mdg | coder316: there is a tutorial for this card - search ubuntu forum | 01:20 |
| coder316 | Sesquimegistus, doing an "ifconfig" shows wlan0 and wmaster0 has stuff | 01:20 |
| dmsuperman_ | soundray, carandraug: it seems EasyTAG is the common denominator here, so I'll check that out. Thanks :D | 01:20 |
| bobertdos | Wally_Dog: First, you need the right drivers for your video card. Then, you need the compizconfig-settings-manager, and enable Extra Visual Effects. | 01:21 |
| sarthor | soundray, installed again. but same .. the terminal hanged. i think its the problme with my terminal | 01:21 |
| porncake | !forum | 01:21 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 01:21 |
| coder316 | Sesquimegistus, doing "iwconfig" i see that wlan0 has IEEE 802.11g, ESSID: "", and then some more info... but lo and wmaster0 say "no wireless extensions." | 01:21 |
| soundray | sarthor: okay, try on a console then: hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, login and try ssh again | 01:22 |
| unr3a1 | I think I am in trouble | 01:22 |
| duncanm | anyone familiar with getlibs? | 01:22 |
| sarthor | soundray, OK. | 01:22 |
| duncanm | i'm having trouble using it to get flash 10 working on 64 hardy | 01:22 |
| unr3a1 | there is no way there are residuals on solid state drive | 01:22 |
| coder316 | mdg, yah, i'm still here | 01:22 |
| racvets1 | can someone help me really quick? can you go to your home directory/.gnome2/monitors.xml and see what's in <rotation></rotation>? | 01:22 |
| Fevrin | I currently use the "Bracket Completion" plugin for Gedit; however, I always have to use the right arrow to get out of the brackets. Does anyone know another way, so I don't have to constantly shift my hands on the keyboard? | 01:22 |
| sarthor | soundray, same in console also. | 01:22 |
| coder316 | mdg, will that tutorial require me to install NDIS? | 01:23 |
| prorpiodisperato | has someone got fast track ultra from m-audio working with Hardy - RT? thank you! | 01:23 |
| porncake | all belkin adapters need ndiswrapper and the N1 series doesnt work at all | 01:23 |
| klndz3 | When I try to run "dpkg --configure -a" it freezes at the language-pack-en-base, so when I try to run "apt-get --reinstall install language-pack-en-base" I get an error that says "dpkg interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" I'm stuck! | 01:23 |
| Fevrin | racvets1, I don't have a monitors.xml, otherwise I'd tell you. | 01:24 |
| racvets1 | :( | 01:24 |
| soundray | sarthor: you can get back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7 | 01:24 |
| soundray | sarthor: sorry, I guess you knew that | 01:24 |
| sarthor | soundray, i am back there already. | 01:24 |
| cdj26 | hey there | 01:24 |
| Guest56511 | got a quick question: i just received my copy of ubuntu in the mail and i am about to start the installation. however, i connect to the internet through a modem and i believe i may need to download certain drivers in order for it to be compatible with ubuntu. my question is, is it possible to download the drivers on my windows c: drive, and then once ubuntu is setup and running would i be able to access that driver and install for ubuntu? | 01:25 |
| === Guest56511 is now known as ajw | ||
| ubuntu | por favor si alguien me puede ayudar haganlo instale el linux hoy todos los programas sin actualizar hoy hace poco puse win2000 en otro disco el disco separado y ahora el grub no arranca y el windows solo arranca estoy en la sesion en vivo del cd vi q tengo todos los programas necesito q alguien me diga como solucionar el problema | 01:25 |

| prorpiodisperato | with ndiswrapper my wireless devices works fine | 01:25 |
| coder316 | i'm curious if i really need to get the NDIS wrapper, since i can see the info for the wireless device in iwconfig | 01:25 |
| Flannel | !es | ubuntu | 01:25 |
| cdj26 | can anybody tell me how to turn off and on the desktop grid | 01:25 |
| ubottu | ubuntu: 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. | 01:25 |
| coder316 | also, i just saw the green light on the front blink (but still no internet connection... lol). | 01:26 |
| Sesquimegistus | coder, have you tried following the steps on this thread of the ubunutu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709260&highlight=Belkin+wireless | 01:26 |
| unr3a1 | bobertdos, yea, I am screwed. tried the parted option, didnt find any partitions on the drive | 01:26 |
| prorpiodisperato | ??ubuntustudio VS m-audio fast track ultra?? | 01:26 |
| soundray | sarthor: there is another ssh client you could try. You may know it from Windows. 'sudo apt-get install putty' | 01:26 |
| Fevrin | Guest56511, you *might* be able to, but I'm not sure if Ubuntu comes with the appropriate package (ntfs-3g) pre-installed or not. You should boot into the LiveCD and see if you can access your Windows hard drive from there before installing. | 01:26 |
| bobertdos | unr3a1: sorry about that, man | 01:26 |
| snarkster | what do you guys htink of xen, is it worth it? | 01:26 |
| sarthor | soundray, i used this on win. let me try here also | 01:26 |
| Sesquimegistus | You will have have to use the NDISwrapper for your Belkin device after some searching through some forums. | 01:27 |
| cdj26 | can anyone tell me how to turn on or off the desktop icon grid | 01:27 |
| Flannel | ajj: You can read windows drives just fine. | 01:27 |
| soundray | snarkster: I guess that depends entirely on what you want to do | 01:27 |
| sarthor | soundray, how can i use putty on linx? | 01:27 |
| snarkster | oh have a version of windblows but i think xen can only run linux | 01:27 |
| mneptok | snarkster: if you're asking that question, then no, it is not. | 01:27 |
| warz_cannon | Hi; I'm developping a Java socks proxy but I can't find any application that I can force to use a SOCKS proxy to test under Ubuntu. Any suggestion? Thx | 01:28 |
| sarthor | soundray, ok. i got how to use | 01:28 |
| soundray | sarthor: :) | 01:28 |
| unr3a1 | bobertdos, yea, np. my girlfriend will only kill me and deny me love for a week or two | 01:28 |
| snarkster | oh ok | 01:28 |
| snarkster | thanx for the input mneptok | 01:28 |
| unr3a1 | bobertdos, it was her folder I lost >.< | 01:28 |
| aa | hi | 01:28 |
| prorpiodisperato | hi! | 01:29 |
| sarthor | soundray, i logged in via putty, its ok. but what with ssh. i need that :) | 01:29 |
| wat_ | i cant get dual monitors to work | 01:29 |
| wat_ | nothing shows up on my first monitor, only my second one :| | 01:29 |
| coder316 | Sesquimegistus, as the ethernet port on the laptop died a while ago, it literally has no internet connection without the wifi working. therefore, i can't get ndis from synaptic. is there anyway i could just download what i need, put it onto a cdr, then pop in the cdr? | 01:29 |
| Flannel | coder316: Yep, sneakernet will work fine. packages.ubuntu.com is an easy way to get to the deb files you need. | 01:30 |
| soundray | sarthor: putty should be able to do anything that ssh can... | 01:30 |
| naxa2 | hi! is there a way to handle usb devices' shutdown like in windows xp, in ubuntu? some application in the system tray where i can shut down my usb devices (umount them, etc) | 01:30 |
| unr3a1 | bobertdos, anyway, thanks for the info. I will definitely be more careful in the future | 01:30 |
| pierrelux | wat_: what's your hardware ? | 01:30 |
| soundray | sarthor: if you still believe that the issue is with the terminal, you could install the putty terminal separately (pterm) and run ssh inside that | 01:30 |
| Boston | Hi I just updated the BIOS on my computer and now ubuntu has disabled my desktop effects and doesn't recognize my monitor, how can I fix this? | 01:30 |
| sarthor | soundray, Yes i know it. but i want to fix the ssh, you are linux guru, how can you leave it without to bring this in order | 01:31 |
| wat_ | pierrelux: geforce 8800 gt, lg 22 inch monitor and a samsung syncmaster 930b | 01:31 |
| mneptok | snarkster: it's like saying "is it tough to fly a plane? i'm thinking of buying a 747." | 01:31 |
| wat_ | 4 gigs ddr2ram | 01:31 |

| wat_ | the video card is overlcocked | 01:31 |
| wat_ | overclocked* | 01:31 |
| soundray | sarthor: don't be so demanding :) I'm just a fellow Ubuntu user with some experience | 01:31 |
| soundray | sarthor: please try 'sudo apt-get install pterm', then run pterm and try ssh in the pterm window | 01:32 |
| pierrelux | wat_: ok, ok ;) Are you running a restricted driver ? | 01:32 |
| sarthor | soundray, i got help more that 10 times with you. i respect you a lot. | 01:32 |

| NickSavage | what does this mean? | 01:42 |
| Flannel | NickSavage: sounds like your nick is bad | 01:42 |
| NickSavage | so how would I go about fixing that? | 01:42 |
| NickSavage | do I have to register one on irssi first? | 01:43 |
| Flannel | NickSavage: No, just set it. | 01:43 |
| vladdY | how can i open up port for postgresql, im using ubuntu server | 01:43 |
| freedumMan | has anyone had issues installing Net::Pcap on hardy I've googled but not seen an issue like mine where it stalls installing t/04 loop ok 1/195 | 01:43 |
| NickSavage | hmm | 01:43 |
| Flannel | vladdY: You don't need to open one, postgres will do that automatically | 01:43 |
| freedumMan | vladdY, open a port using iptables | 01:43 |
| Leefmc | Question: What is some good image-gallery viewing software? It needs to be able to thumbnail RAWs aswell | 01:44 |
| Freedom_Linux | bye | 01:44 |
| freedumMan | vladdY, or do you mean open postgres so it accepts outside connections | 01:44 |
| NickSavage | Flannel: okay, how do I set my nick? | 01:44 |
| freedumMan | SLASH nick | 01:44 |
| Flannel | NickSavage: you can either use /nick, or change it in your configs (after you use /nick, you'll want to either /save or edit it in the config to make it permanent) | 01:45 |
| Lincid | NickSavage: /set nick <nick> | 01:45 |
| NickSavage | Flannel: hey, thanks, it worked! | 01:45 |
| Lincid | NickSavage: If in IRSSI, you'll type just '/set', will list a set of options you can do. | 01:46 |
| soundray | Flannel: did you see sarthor's problem earlier? | 01:46 |
| BoneE | what is the root password | 01:46 |
| soundray | !root | BoneE | 01:46 |
| ubottu | BoneE: 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 | 01:46 |
| vladdY | freedumMan: i just want to be able to connect to pgsql | 01:46 |
| freedumMan | vladdY, from another machine remotely | 01:46 |
| Flannel | soundray: What was his problem? | 01:47 |
| vladdY | freedumMan: from LAN | 01:47 |
| Flannel | vladdY: The only thing you might need to do is unbind it in the postgres config, so its not just listening at localhost | 01:47 |
| soundray | Flannel: ssh connections from a particular machine to all other machines just stalled after password input. Connections from other machines to same remote host work. | 01:48 |
| Flannel | soundray: Do they stall and then eventually connect? Hmm, after password? | 01:48 |
| soundray | Flannel: local connections on the problem machine work, remote connections work when using putty instead of ssh | 01:48 |
| freedumMan | vladdY, wouldn't you be better to google it for postgres issues ... http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=5&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyberciti.biz%2Ftips%2Fpostgres-allow-remote-access-tcp-connection.html&ei=NhiqSNnUB6eueerZjDA&usg=AFQjCNGr03f_KgEdke1X8KY8Lo6ap-kEhw&sig2=lK3NhOfy2Q6j3aqtvnnOIw | 01:48 |

| kc8pxy | i mean, leave the applications intact, but remove all their help. | 01:52 |
| NickSavage | Slade: oh, nothing right now. It took me a while to figure out how to get irssi working. First I tried downloading a tar.gz from their website, but that didn't work so well. I realised after a while I could apt-get it | 01:52 |
| Slade | why didn't the tarball work? | 01:53 |
| NickSavage | I couldn't figure out how to compile it | 01:53 |
| NickSavage | it said that the compiler couldn't make executables, or something along those lines | 01:53 |
| kc8pxy | ./configure && make :) | 01:53 |
| Slade | NickSavage, tar zxvf irssi*.tar.gz cd irssi* ./configure make && make install | 01:53 |
| NickSavage | the ./configure was what didn't work | 01:54 |
| NickSavage | not sure why | 01:54 |
| Slade | what error did you get? | 01:54 |
| soundray | NickSavage: you probably don't have a compiler installed. 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' to install gcc and other helpful stuff | 01:54 |
| * Slade is a big fan of compiling his own stuff | 01:54 | |
| NickSavage | oh! | 01:54 |
| crdlb | NickSavage: why would you compile irssi frou source? | 01:54 |
| Slade | crdlb, always compile from source when you have the option. | 01:54 |

| === Koopman is now known as K1ng_K00p4 | ||
| wat_ | ozpowermo that should fix it | 01:55 |

| mdg | coder316: Wally_Dog: check your PCI ID and then go to serialmoneky and verify you need RTL8185 driver - install instructions included in driver download. | 01:56 |
| Slade | NickSavage, i agree that using repositories is good for beginners. But it's a good idea to learn how to compile and install things from source. | 01:56 |
| soundray | NickSavage: using the repos ensures that you get security and other updates, and can upgrade to new releases without breaking stuff | 01:56 |
| Flannel | iMatter: Do you have linux-generic installed? | 01:56 |
| iMatter | Flannel, Yes | 01:57 |
| iMatter | Flannel, wait let me check | 01:57 |
| NickSavage | ah, alright. that all makes sense | 01:57 |
| Flannel | iMatter: And you have hardy-updates and hardy-security enabled? | 01:57 |
| freedumMan | sarthor, have you tried to remove the item from your known hosts file? so it regenerates | 01:57 |
| iMatter | Flannel, i said yes because my last thing is -generic on my uname -r | 01:57 |
| bobertdos | soundray: I'm fairly certain Slade doesn't disagree, it's just that I suspect he comes from a background other than Ubuntu, where compiling things was more the norm :) | 01:57 |
| Flannel | iMatter: No, thats not quite the same | 01:57 |
| iMatter | Flannel, it says linux-generic is the newest version | 01:58 |
| Flannel | iMatter: alright, then you do. Now, do you have hardy-updates and hardy-security enabled? | 01:58 |
| iMatter | Flannel, One second. | 01:58 |
| sarthor | freedumMan, yes. i did echo -n '' >/root/.ssh/known...hosts.. | 01:58 |

| Slade | bobertdos, i come from a background where compiling to install was the norm. I started out just having a shell account | 01:59 |
| Flannel | iMatter: Alright, what version of linux-generic do you have? (apt-cache policy linux-generic) | 01:59 |
| freedumMan | sarthor, whats the permissions on your .ssh directory | 01:59 |

| iMatter | Flannel, i still use it but i was hoping this one fixed the USB problems i found out that the problem is that i have a WD Passport usb drive it worked for a while and then one day it just suddenly stopped working, i found out that the reason is ehci_hcd is loading before something and a modprobe -r echi_hcd fixes this | 02:07 |
| iMatter | until i reboot | 02:07 |
| psykidellic | Flannel: I have downloaded the .iso and I have a 2GB flash drive | 02:07 |
| morydd | lspci sees the card. | 02:07 |
| sarthor | i clear that cache.. | 02:07 |

| ari_stress | morning all :) | 02:10 |
| usser | mib_yclzbl, nope its not there | 02:10 |
| sarthor | freedumMan, Yes. | 02:10 |
| Lincid | K1ng_K00p4: Maybe try Xubuntu, or something less RAM heavy. | 02:10 |
| kc8pxy | K1ng_K00p4: for one thing, you either have un-even ram slots( different size sticks) or you have a 128 and a 64 mb. for a lappy only 4 years old, that's STILL a very little ram. | 02:10 |

| K1ng_K00p4 | I tried Damn Small Linux in the past to no avail. Can Xubuntu be found on the ubuntu site? | 02:11 |
| Flannel | Xoomie: Its a known issue, let me find the workaround. | 02:11 |

| mib_yclzbl | usser: Could you advice me ? I want a basic shell, ntfs-mounting capability and, of course, GParted | 02:13 |
| freedumMan | sarthor, there was most likely an issue with your installation | 02:13 |
| keppi | WDC: System Monitor | 02:13 |
| WDC | keppi: THanks | 02:13 |
| dbl17z | Slade, do you live in NY ? | 02:13 |
| sarthor | freedumMan, b4 2 days. i installed xubuntu-desktop, and then i removed, coz that created soem display problme. i think tis the problem due to that. | 02:13 |
| Flannel | psykidellic: Can you not boot to USB by default? | 02:13 |
| usser | mib_6estf5, try gparted live cd it has read only ntfs for sure | 02:13 |
| sarthor | freedumMan, i am not sure. its just an doubt. | 02:13 |

| freedumMan | sarthor, i think its time to reinstall ubuntu | 02:14 |
| wat_ | whats the problem? | 02:14 |
| psykidellic | Flannel: Yes. My laptop gives me the option but I believe I have to write the .iso correctly on it. | 02:14 |

| malberto | does anybody here know the way to restore the configuration of sound since ubuntu installed ? | 02:14 |
| Slade | dbl17z, yes. | 02:14 |
| freedumMan | sarthor, well you can rsync your data to another machine | 02:14 |
| keppi | WDC: Right click and select "Add to Panel" | 02:14 |
| mdg | malberto, what kind of PC do you have? | 02:14 |
| freedumMan | sarthor, or backup to another drive | 02:14 |
| freedumMan | sarthor, good luck on that | 02:15 |
| dbl17z | Slade, do you go by Slient Slade ? | 02:15 |
| malberto | mdg, this is a Desk.. Dell XPS 600 | 02:15 |
| WDC | thanks | 02:15 |
| mdg | Oh, I just dealt with this sound thing in PPC | 02:15 |
| cuil | Architecture is not included: i386？？？？？ | 02:15 |
| keppi | np | 02:15 |
| Slade | dbl17z, nope, i go by DJ Slade | 02:15 |
| mdg | malberto, did you try alsamixer and check settings? | 02:16 |
| Flannel | psykidellic: Right. The steps on that page (as far as writing to the USB) should work regardless of OS | 02:16 |
| PanzerMKZ | Slade where do you live? | 02:16 |
| dbl17z | O, ok, I have a friend with the name Slient Slade.. Anyway do you have any experience with ATI drivers ? | 02:16 |
| Flannel | psykidellic: its just the "getting the computer to boot to USB" that sometimes runs into issues | 02:16 |
| Schmex | Hi, I used to be on Dual Boot with XP - Now that I formatted my C, I lost Grub, and can't access my Ubuntu. What must I do? | 02:16 |
| malberto | mdg, yeah but is just show me the volume of all those davices I just want to restore all because I have alot of devices and I made a desaster here | 02:17 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Cause I installed the drivers its just that when I log out X will just hang. I would have to power off the system. | 02:17 |
| psykidellic | Flannel: I will re-read it again...and come back if I have any issue. | 02:17 |
| mdg | malberto: boy do I know disaster! | 02:17 |
| psykidellic | Thanks for the help. My friend will be the happeist person if I can remove the windows and install ubuntu for him! | 02:17 |
| keppi | Schmex: reinstall grub from the cd | 02:17 |
| mdg | you need to modprobe sound - but I'm not sure what you Dell is using, then add to /etc/modules | 02:18 |
| Schmex | keppi - my Ubuntu's location ain't on a certain Disk, cause I chose the most freed space installation option. does that matter? | 02:18 |
| Fungusman | Hi guise | 02:18 |
| Fungusman | I was wondering how to get a new windows manager working on ubuntu | 02:18 |
| Fungusman | Pref something low in memory | 02:18 |
| dbl17z | Cause I installed the drivers its just that when I log out X will just hang. I would have to power off the system. | 02:18 |
| keppi | Schmex: You didn't wipe out your ubuntu partition did you? | 02:18 |
| Fungusman | What can you guys suggest ? | 02:19 |
| mdg | malberto, try the command "dmesg" and see if you can find any references to sound | 02:19 |
| Fungusman | fluxbox ? How do I intall it ? | 02:19 |
| vladdY | hm, i just cant install ubuntu server in raid1, is there anyone that could maybe help me, lost 6 hours | 02:19 |
| dbl17z | Would anyone know why I would have this problem with the drivers ?? | 02:19 |
| Schmex | keppi - No, I only formatted my C, my XP location. | 02:19 |
| coder316 | hey, i'm about to install ndiswrapper for my belkin usb 802.11g device. i don't have the install cd anymore, so i went onto belkin's website and installed it onto my windows xp computer so i can get the driver files. do i only need the single .inf file? | 02:19 |
| malberto | mdg, ok | 02:19 |
| slicky | how do i reset my root mysql password? | 02:19 |
| keppi | Schmex: when you install grub, it should find it fine and add it to your startup list | 02:19 |
| mdg | coder316, you need two files | 02:19 |
| particle_man | hello everyone...I'm having some major sound/video sync issues with Flash and Firefox 3 under Hardy | 02:20 |
| Schmex | keppi - I just inserted my Ubuntu CD, I can't find Grub. | 02:20 |
| coder316 | slicky, do you know what the second file would be? | 02:20 |
| Lincid | Schmex: Is there anything on your ubuntu partition that you just can't stand to lose? | 02:20 |
| keppi | Fungusman: I think you should be able to find fluxbox in the repos | 02:20 |
| particle_man | sound works fine, but video is very herky jerky at best, even with minimal tabs open and nothing else occupying my network connection | 02:20 |
| slicky | coder316, no :o | 02:20 |
| Lincid | Schmex: I myself, just a personal preference, would just reinstall using the whole drive(s). ;) | 02:20 |
| coder316 | slicky, what file type is the second file? | 02:21 |
| keppi | Schmex: hold on | 02:21 |
| Schmex | Lincid, Nah, I have my Data on my D, so I don't mind. | 02:21 |
| slicky | coder316, what do you mean? i need to reset the mysqp passwd | 02:21 |
| Schmex | Lincid, BUT! I tried that before.. | 02:21 |
| Schmex | Lincid, and Ubuntu couldn't read the partitioned Space that I made specially for... | 02:21 |
| coder316 | slicky, sorry. i'm tired. i meant to address that to somebody else. | 02:21 |
| Schmex | Lincid, that's why I had to go with that option, the most free space disk shit. | 02:21 |
| coder316 | mdg, do you know what are the two files i'd need for my belkin usd drivers? | 02:22 |
| stepanstas | What is X and what does reseting X mean? | 02:22 |
| slicky | coder316, :) | 02:22 |
| Slade | dbl17z, what ati card, what drivers? | 02:22 |
| mdg | coder316: go to ubuntu wiki and look for RTL8185 | 02:22 |
| Schmex | Lincid, Is it okay to use Acronis OS selector? | 02:23 |
| Slade | PanzerMKZ, on Long Island | 02:23 |
| mdg | coder316: This is a USB wifi or PCMCIA? | 02:23 |
| dbl17z | Slade: I have a ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 | 02:23 |
| s0ulstice | Is there an easy way to tell on which partition a given OS is installed? | 02:23 |
| Slade | dbl17z, and what drivers are in your xorg.conf? | 02:23 |
| PanzerMKZ | slade ok I know a Dj Slade from here | 02:23 |
| dbl17z | Slade: I was using the binary ati drivers. | 02:23 |
| Slade | PanzerMKZ, where is "here" ? | 02:23 |
| PanzerMKZ | Bham AL | 02:23 |
| Slade | dbl17z, try using the fglrx drivers | 02:23 |
| dbl17z | Slade: I didn't touch xorg cause ubuntu had everything working. | 02:24 |
| dbl17z | OK | 02:24 |
| dbl17z | Let me see I will let you know. | 02:24 |
| Slade | ok | 02:24 |
| keppi | Schmex: Boot until you get to the Disk Partition section | 02:24 |
| Schmex | keppi, after that? | 02:24 |
| Slade | PanzerMKZ, definitely not me :) | 02:24 |
| PanzerMKZ | did not think so | 02:24 |
| Schmex | keppi, wouldn't it be easier to use Acronis' os selector? | 02:25 |
| keppi | Schmex: mount your root and swap partitions (do NOT format them) | 02:25 |
| stepanstas | What is x and what does resetting x mean? (Shift + Backspace?) | 02:25 |
| keppi | Schmex: when exiting the partition manager it should install grub for you. | 02:25 |
| InvisibleHeero | how do you add a script / program to startup? | 02:25 |
| r3c0n | im trying to update transmission bittorrent client. what i did was added the source: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bortis/ubuntu hardy main" and then it realized that there are updates for it.. so now that i goto install it says it cannot authenticate. does anyone know where i will be able to import the key from so that authentication does occur? | 02:26 |
| gotama | Hi! I'm using ubuntu 8.04 (hardy). Every time that I start my PC, it shows me a black screen, so I have to do Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace to get the login windows. How to change the resolution of the login window? I've tried using preferences->Screen Resolution but this doesn't fix the login problem. Help please. | 02:26 |
| Schmex | keppi, okay thanks mate ;) - I was wondering if any other OS selector could make it much easier for me? Such as Acronis? :p | 02:26 |
| Slade | gotama, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf under the Screen section | 02:26 |
| Slade | change the resolution | 02:26 |
| mneptok | gotama: run xfix from the recovery menu and see if that helps | 02:27 |
| keppi | Schmex: I haven't tried Acronis | 02:27 |
| Schmex | keppi, Okay, I'm gonna try what you said. | 02:27 |
| Lincid | Schmex: You just have Ubuntu on the machine now, correct? Don't see a reason in a selector, if you could just get GRUB working correctly. | 02:28 |
| ChrisULM | acronis just further complicates things | 02:28 |
| r3c0n | please someone help! | 02:28 |
| gotama | Ok. Thanks. | 02:28 |
| mdg | rnr3cOn : what's your question? | 02:28 |
| dbl17z | Slade: download the fglrx-kernel-source or download the xorg-driver-fglrx | 02:28 |
| dbl17z | cause I think the xorg one is the commercial binary. | 02:29 |
| Slade | xorg-driver-fglrx | 02:29 |
| dbl17z | ok | 02:29 |
| r3c0n | mdg: im trying to install an updated version of transmission. the steps that i took were to first install the apt source which i obtained from http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604 | 02:29 |
| stepanstas | Shift + Backspace resets x. what does that mean? | 02:29 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Thanx | 02:29 |
| r3c0n | mdg: and now that it detects latest version available is 1.32 and one isntalled is 1.06 it goes to download but says i dont have the key so no authentication will occur... so how can i get the key so authentication does occur? i like to be on safe side | 02:30 |
| mdg | r3cOn: is that newer than in the repos? | 02:30 |
| Slade | dbl17z, no prob bob | 02:30 |
| r3c0n | mdg: yes the one in repos is very old... its 1.06.. available is 1.32 according to transmission site | 02:30 |
| s0ulstice | stepanstas, X is the window manager .. it makes things pretty.. by resetting it, it drops you out of the pretty desktop env. and allows you to re-sign into it | 02:30 |
| mdg | r3cOn: do you have backports in your sources list? | 02:31 |
| s0ulstice | stepanstas, Your computer doesn't restart only the session | 02:31 |
| r3c0n | mdg: backports? im sorry i dont understand i come from fedora | 02:31 |
| mdg | r3cOn: sorry about that, I was thinking Debian - just gave up on debian. anyway, you need th GPG key from that website | 02:32 |
| s0ulstice | Is there a way to check which partition my current install is in? | 02:32 |
| stepanstas | s0ulstice, thanks for that. what instances might i want to use that in. if windows are acting up? | 02:32 |
| inbitado34 | this happesn to me when i try to run xsane: xsane: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.so.1: undefined symbol: sanei_usb_init | 02:32 |
| vladdY | how can i edit postgresql.conf using ubuntu server | 02:32 |
| r3c0n | mdg: yes but since they dont have it listed.. and ive been asking in #transmission without any response what to do? :S | 02:32 |
| inbitado34 | d | 02:33 |
| Gillpy | Is there a way I can put video playback as my desktop wallpaper ? | 02:33 |
| s0ulstice | stepanstas, Yes if the windows are acting up or if things are frozen.. Sometimes if you make updates to how things are displayed you have to reset X, IE special effects.. | 02:33 |
| hoban | Gillpy: yes, there is, but I don't remember how...but I've done it before... :) | 02:33 |
| mdg | r3cOn: Oh! Let me see if I can find anything. | 02:33 |
| dbl17z | Slade: brb | 02:33 |
| stepanstas | s0ulstice, okay, thats a nice feature. thanks a lot | 02:33 |
| inbitado34 | i installed the 2400 hp scanner in gusty it worked fine, now in hardy i installed, it worked, xsane recognized, now when i open xsane, it just doesn't open the software | 02:34 |
| s0ulstice | stepanstas, yes indeed it is a great feature, your welcome | 02:34 |
| r3c0n | thanks mdg. i checked faqs but nothing there | 02:34 |
| kasemann | I'm trying to get a Ralink 2860 based wireless card working under Hardy. It shows up under lspci and I've got the correct kernel module loaded, but can't seem to get NetworkManager to detect the card. | 02:34 |
| kasemann | Can someone help me? | 02:34 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: can u test it with iwconfig ? | 02:35 |
| jigp | something is wrong with firefox 3? ubuntu downloaded the firefox 3 or updated. and now after rebooting firefox3 wont work...bugs? | 02:36 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: I can see it with iwconfig. It shows up as ra0. I just can't see it in NetworkManager and it won't scan | 02:36 |
| r3c0n | kasemann can u try doing iwlist ra0 scanning ? | 02:37 |
| Slade | is ubuntu ever going to support the linksys wireless cards that it currently DOESN'T support? | 02:38 |
| r3c0n | right click on ur networkmanager icon and see if wireless is checked | 02:38 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: iwlist ra0 scanning returns: ra0 No scan results | 02:38 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: wireless is indeed checked | 02:38 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: thats not a good sign.. dont u have an ap in range? | 02:38 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Thanx alot man.. It worked. | 02:38 |
| Slade | dbl17z, no prob, bob | 02:38 |
| David_Bane | Flannel, still around? | 02:38 |
| inbitado34 | this happesn to me when i try to run xsane: xsane: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.so.1: undefined symbol: sanei_usb_init | 02:39 |
| mneptok | Slade: is Linksys ever going to support Ubuntu like they support Windows? | 02:39 |
| r3c0n | ap = access point | 02:39 |
| dbl17z | It was pissing me off.. This card can be a pain in the ass.. | 02:39 |
| kasemann | yes, I have an access point in range. If I go to System-->Administration-->Network, I can turn off roaming and set a static SSID and connect to it | 02:39 |
| Slade | mneptok: good call | 02:39 |
| mneptok | Slade: vote with your wallet. | 02:39 |
| Slade | my wallet is more anorexic than me | 02:40 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Its been that way since I've had it. | 02:40 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Thanx man.. | 02:40 |
| Slade | dbl17z: time for a new card? I just got a new nvidia card from my job | 02:40 |
| Slade | they're nice to me :) | 02:40 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Its a laptop.. | 02:40 |
| kasemann | r2c0: it seems like I have a configuration issue if i can connect manually but not through NetworkManager. What do you think? | 02:40 |
| dbl17z | Dell inspiron 9200.. | 02:40 |
| Slade | and after 3 hrs of fiddling with settings, i got TwinView working the way i wanted it to | 02:40 |
| dbl17z | Its what I have for now... | 02:40 |
| s0ulstice | Slade, nvidia settings manager worked grandios for me .. you editing the xorg file still? | 02:41 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: hmmm... sounds like it.. lets try something here.. | 02:41 |
| Slade | dbl17z: if it's all you have it's all you have. No one's criticizing | 02:41 |
| Slade | s0ulstice: well nvidia-settings and xgl don't like eachother | 02:41 |
| Slade | so i found the way around it | 02:41 |
| Slade | THEN nvidia-settings worked | 02:42 |
| dbl17z | Slade: No, I know.. Its just that when I get the chance I will be getting a Mac Book Pro.. | 02:42 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: is your AP announcing itself? broadcasting beacons? | 02:42 |
| Slade | before hand? i edited by hand | 02:42 |
| Slade | dbl17z: and i'll be very jealous | 02:42 |
| dbl17z | LoL | 02:42 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: broadcasting ssid? | 02:42 |
| David_Bane | OK, so I followed all the directions in the ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), for both my computer and the one I'm sharing with, replacing "eth0" with "wlan0" and "eth1" with "eth0. Here's my setup "INTERNET <=WLAN0=> Me <=ETH0=> Wife. Problem: I get net, she doesn't. | 02:42 |

| amrik | Hi is there a line I can put into files so that emacs will know to automatically highlight them based on a certain profile? | 02:43 |
| paradize | !dpi | 02:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dpi | 02:43 |
| kasemann | no, how do I do that? | 02:43 |
| paradize | I'm trying to hook up the computer to a TV, and the fonts are all messed up | 02:43 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: the strange thing is that your iwlist ra0 scanning isnt returning any results | 02:43 |
| paradize | what do i need to run to set the DPI correctly on the TV? | 02:44 |
| paradize | it's an NVIDIA gpu | 02:44 |
| jga23 | I'm having some issues with 8.04, I just turned on my computer and I just get a black screen, I went into the terminal and viewed the logs and I get gdm : Warning: couldn't authenticate user and then I have last message repeated 44 times. Any ideas? I don't have auto login turned on (that I know of) | 02:44 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: it's also interesting that it returns immediately as if it didn't even try | 02:44 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: how does wpasupplicant work? | 02:44 |
| paradize | !nvidia | 02:44 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:45 |
| hoban | jga23: it's a PAM issue. have you been making any edits to /etc/pam.d/gdm lately? | 02:45 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: check /var/log/messages (btw im by no means an expert) but just trying to find tell tail signs of what could be causing this | 02:45 |
| mdg | r3cOn: I'm not having any luck finding the gpg key for transmission - will keep searching | 02:45 |
| paradize | exit | 02:45 |
| atcla | so i have rtorrent and how do i load .torrent | 02:45 |
| jga23 | hoban: no, I haven't | 02:45 |
| Slade | David_Bane: the wife not getting internet is not necessarily a problem :) | 02:45 |
| David_Bane | Bwahhaha. | 02:46 |
| r3c0n | mdg: i really appreciate though whats really alarming is that noone in #transmission is even answering me about the whereabouts of the gpg key.. its not in faq and not on page pertaining to the apt sources ... just strange | 02:46 |
| David_Bane | If I want to get laid? Yeah :P | 02:46 |
| paradize | anyone? | 02:46 |
| hoban | jga23: it's a PAM issue, I'm sure of that. can you pastebin the content of that file I mentioned before? | 02:46 |
| Slade | David_Bane: ok, point taken :) | 02:46 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: /var/log/messages just has a bunch of errors saying it couldn't find a message handler for /com/redhat/dhcp/ra0 | 02:46 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: unrelated? | 02:46 |
| Slade | David_Bane: take a look-see at iptables | 02:46 |
| Slade | you may need to use iptables redirection | 02:47 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: could you paste me in private those messages? | 02:47 |
| jga23 | hoban: http://pastebin.com/d1ae2f11b | 02:48 |
| David_Bane | slade: Doing an IPTABLES --LIST real quick. | 02:48 |
| Slade | ok | 02:48 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: redhat? what? lol where did you get this package from? | 02:48 |
| Slade | David_Bane: there's a TON of scripts out there that can help you configure your firewall for redirecting | 02:49 |
| atcla | guys how do i load .torrent file to rtorrent?? | 02:49 |
| purpleback | hi | 02:49 |
| purpleback | i have a really nooby question to ask >< | 02:49 |
| Slade | purpleback: shoot | 02:49 |
| s0ulstice | Go for it | 02:49 |
| purpleback | oki. | 02:49 |
| Gillpy | atcla: backspace | 02:49 |
| purpleback | so im trying to configure ubuntu for my tablet pc | 02:49 |
| BlueAidan | anyone know how to get this intel i945GM laptop to output 1080i over the vga out? | 02:49 |
| purpleback | and im pretty far into it. | 02:49 |
| purpleback | wacdump works | 02:49 |
| Gillpy | atcla: or specify on the command line | 02:49 |
| purpleback | but i have to configure xorg.conf | 02:49 |
| BlueAidan | right now it's only doing 1024x768 | 02:49 |
| purpleback | and it wont let me save it >< | 02:49 |
| purpleback | and so i just went onto the next step | 02:49 |
| purpleback | configure autoserial | 02:49 |
| Necrobutcher | Could someone help me choose a Linux distro? | 02:50 |
| purpleback | and it said to choose autosave once | 02:50 |
| purpleback | but i dont know how to do that D: | 02:50 |
| Flannel | Necrobutcher: Try Ubuntu | 02:50 |
| purpleback | all that appears is text but no option >< | 02:50 |
| David_Bane | Slade: Got a link? My Ubuntu search-fu is weak. | 02:50 |
| Slade | Necrobutcher: i think most people here will give you only one answer here | 02:50 |
| Necrobutcher | Heh. | 02:50 |
| Necrobutcher | Except I have an ancient PIII. | 02:50 |
| Necrobutcher | 466MHz 256mb RAM and 4GB to install. | 02:50 |
| Necrobutcher | And I need to be able to dual boot it with DOS. | 02:50 |
| Flannel | Necrobutcher: Try Xubuntu | 02:50 |
| atcla | Gillpy, so what do i type if my .torrent file is on the desktop ? | 02:50 |
| purpleback | so how can i save xorg.conf and/or configure setserial? | 02:50 |
| Slade | David_Bane: google! | 02:51 |
| Necrobutcher | The computer doesn't have internet. | 02:51 |
| Slade | !iptables > David_Bane | 02:51 |
| ubottu | David_Bane, please see my private message | 02:51 |
| s0ulstice | purpleback, when editing xorg .. are you using sudo?? | 02:51 |
| Flannel | Necrobutcher: Xubuntu doesn't need the internet, download a CD | 02:51 |
| purpleback | gedit | 02:51 |
| Necrobutcher | I know. | 02:51 |
| hoban | jga23: yeah, that one looks fine... | 02:51 |
| favro | !sudo | 02:51 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 02:51 |
| purpleback | oki then question | 02:51 |
| Gillpy | atcla: ~/Desktop/path/to/torrent maybe | 02:51 |
| Necrobutcher | But I'll need to play music. | 02:51 |
| purpleback | how do i turn this into a sudo command: | 02:51 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: I compiled the driver from the ralink website. Like I said, the module loads fine | 02:51 |
| s0ulstice | purpleback, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? | 02:51 |
| Necrobutcher | And I'll need the internet to get the gstream codecs. | 02:51 |
| purpleback | i love you. | 02:51 |
| Flannel | Necrobutcher: you can sneakernet whatever codecs you need. | 02:51 |
| David_Bane | ...Did you just say "No IPtables are greater than David_bane?" O.o | 02:51 |
| purpleback | hug me? | 02:51 |
| hoban | jga23: what about common-auth? | 02:52 |
| * s0ulstice hugs purpleback | 02:52 | |
| purpleback | :D | 02:52 |
| Necrobutcher | Sneakernet? | 02:52 |
| purpleback | ok let's see if it works. | 02:52 |
| purpleback | pray for me. | 02:52 |
| jga23 | hoban: where's that? | 02:52 |

| Slade | Here's my really n00b question of the day. Does root have a default password in ubuntu? | 02:53 |
| Flannel | Slade: No. The root account is locked. | 02:53 |
| jga23 | hoban: appended to the previous pastebin | 02:53 |
| Slade | Flannel: that's what I thought | 02:53 |
| kc8pxy | l3d: lan chat? | 02:53 |

| o0Loco0o | has anyone tried to boot ubuntu off of a flash drive? | 02:54 |
| box | yes | 02:54 |
| steven__ | Can someone help me? | 02:55 |
| box | and it does work | 02:55 |
| kasemann | r3c0n: any more ideas? i appreciate your help | 02:55 |
| Slade | bobertdos: sudo works just fine for me | 02:55 |
| lisa_ | not ubuntu but fedora | 02:55 |
| o0Loco0o | is it really slow? | 02:55 |
| Gillpy | !ask | steven__ | 02:55 |
| ubottu | steven__: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:55 |
| atcla | Gillpy, dont work | 02:55 |
| GamingX | This is just an idea, but can we dual boot on a flash disk? | 02:55 |
| box | o0Loco0o : works seemingly fast | 02:55 |
| atcla | who uses rtorrent ??? | 02:55 |
| lisa_ | no it work flawlessly! | 02:55 |
| o0Loco0o | or would it be fast enough for a multimedia pc | 02:55 |
| box | o0Loco0o : not as fast as on a hd however for the most part is perty speedy | 02:55 |
| Slade | steven__: that's what we're all paid here to do :) | 02:55 |
| steven__ | I was wondering if someone can help me set up teamspeak it doesn't seem to want to work | 02:55 |
| purpleback | i have another noob question ; ; | 02:55 |
| Slade | purpleback: go for it | 02:55 |
| box | GamingX : its possibly not sure how easy that would be | 02:56 |
| purpleback | i used ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:56 |
| purpleback | and it went black | 02:56 |
| hoban | jga23: that one looks a bit different than mine. I'd suggest you download the PAM package(s) and compare your config to those | 02:56 |
| purpleback | and now it's just growling at me. | 02:56 |
| purpleback | is this normal? | 02:56 |
| o0Loco0o | i'm trying to set up bare media pc's on my tv that fetch the movies and music from my server and cutting costs where i can =) | 02:56 |
| keppi | haha @ purpleback ;) | 02:56 |
| jga23 | hoban: the only think I've changed today was my theme | 02:56 |
| r3c0n | what version of the driver did you get kasemann? | 02:56 |
| bobertdos | purpleback: Yes, X's response to being killed can vary. It depends on its mood, :D | 02:56 |
| keppi | purpleback: you should get a prompt | 02:56 |
| GamingX | The only drawback I can see is how the grub would give the source drive. The source drive would change for each system. | 02:56 |
| Gillpy | atcla: what doesn't work ? you type rtorrent /path/to/torrent, your Desktop will be ~/Desktop/ | 02:56 |
| kc8pxy | purpleback: ctrl-alt-backspace is a bit of a brute-force way to kill xorg | 02:56 |
| steven__ | Nobody knows? | 02:56 |
| David_Bane | Arg | 02:57 |
| hoban | jga23: do a "ls -lt /etc/pam.d/" and tell me if any files in there have been modified today | 02:57 |
| keppi | steven__: sorry | 02:57 |
| purpleback | im not getting a response >.> | 02:57 |
| purpleback | nothing | 02:57 |
| purpleback | it's just sitting there. | 02:57 |
| purpleback | safe to turn off my computer and turn it back on? | 02:57 |
| Flannel | steven__: Check the forums, there are a few TS threads there | 02:57 |
| keppi | purpleback: no flashing cursor or anything? | 02:57 |
| David_Bane | Ok, why would my onboard sound card be making a good bit of consistent static? Board is Intel. | 02:57 |
| mdg | r3cOn: Does Fedora have third party repositories - maybe you need the key for that , or maybe I'm just too tired to think :) | 02:57 |
| jga23 | hoban: nope | 02:57 |
| purpleback | nothin | 02:57 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-683085.html | 02:57 |

| hoban | jga23: "find /etc/ -mtime -1" | 02:58 |

| purpleback | like i said it's growling at me | 02:58 |
| joanki123 | can anyone recommend a program that will let me burn cds or dvds | 02:58 |
| r3c0n | kasemann: i think u need to recompile with the following: HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y | 02:58 |
| joanki123 | onto my computer i mean | 02:58 |
| GamingX | atcla: I would assume you would need to give the torrent extension | 02:58 |
| o0Loco0o | plug speakers into right hole =) | 02:58 |
| keppi | purpleback: seems hosed to me | 02:58 |
| atcla | joan covertXtoDVD | 02:58 |
| purpleback | turn it off? | 02:58 |
| bobertdos | purpleback: Ctrl+Alt+Delete will usually initiate a reboot when X is in that state, but other than that, you can just power cycle the whole thing if you want. | 02:59 |
| keppi | purpleback: try ctrl-alt-del? | 02:59 |
| purpleback | ctrl alt delete = nothing | 02:59 |
| purpleback | ill go eat dinner | 02:59 |
| r3c0n | mdg: im on ubuntu.. i used to use fedora.. the issue is that i am unable to obtain the key for the ubuntu apt sources for transmission.. are you suggesting i get the rpm from fedora repo and convert to deb? | 02:59 |

| purpleback | if it's still fail ill power cycle it | 02:59 |

| Slade | David_Bane: i havent done iptables in a while | 03:02 |
| Slade | dbl17z: yes, but im at work | 03:02 |

| joanki123 | can anyone recommend a program that will let me burn cds or dvds onto my computer? | 03:03 |
| persiansO | Hi, I have a problem where gnome power manager says I have 500,000 hours remaining when I unplug my laptop. The percentage seems to decrease correctly, it just has this abnormal spike. Can anyone help? | 03:03 |
| Slade | David_Bane: I'm not dear abby :) | 03:03 |
| dbl17z | Slade: Sorry to bug you again.. But so far I can switch between vterms but if I log out X crashes still .. | 03:03 |
| o0Loco0o | why would you want to fix that!? | 03:03 |
| Slade | dbl17z: define "crashes" | 03:04 |
| atcla | joan it will convert to dvd and will burn | 03:04 |
| Slade | David_Bane: pastebin it | 03:04 |
| Slade | i'll see what i remember | 03:04 |
| Slade | because i usually use iptable scripts | 03:04 |
| dbl17z | I tried it without the drivers before and the logout was working fine. | 03:04 |
| hoban | jga23: hmm...that doesn't make much sense. you should search by "find /etc -mmin -[mins] -mmin +[mins]" replacing the "mins" with the less than and greater than minutes. you want to find files that changed around the time the problem started | 03:04 |
| dbl17z | Slade: When I logout nothing comes back up it just stays blank.. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't even respond. | 03:05 |
| jga23 | hoban: the problem is I just rebooted for the first time in about a week... | 03:05 |
| mdmkolbe | in what ubuntu package would I find the man pages for "stat" and "utime" (functions)? | 03:05 |
| hoban | jga23: yeah, that is problematic | 03:05 |
| atcla | darius svx | 03:06 |
| hoban | jga23: I suggest doing like I said before, check the pam.d files against the deb(s) from the repo | 03:06 |
| Slade | dbl17z: pastebin your xorg.conf | 03:06 |
| hoban | jga23: also, can you pastebin your /etc/nsswitch.conf ? | 03:06 |
| Slade | lemme look | 03:06 |
| dbl17z | Slade: ok | 03:06 |

| dbl17z | Could that be why ? | 03:12 |
| Slade | and u can specify refresh rates ie: 1280x1024@60 | 03:13 |
| dbl17z | Ok | 03:13 |
| joanki123 | atcla, how about HandBrake? | 03:13 |
| D4RIUS | mkquist, try tct... but if you're using the system, you stand a high chance of overwriting the deleted file. | 03:13 |
| sisto | does anybody know why the nvidia driver doesn't work with the server or realtime kernel?? it does work fine with the generic kernel. But when I try it on the realtime or server kernels it tells me it couldn't find kernel module sources for this kernel. | 03:13 |
| hoban | jga23: I mentioned that earlier. you need to get ahold of the debs that provide the pam files | 03:13 |
| inbitado34 | can i install kooka in gnome ? | 03:14 |
| chuy_max | inbitado34, yes you can | 03:14 |
| mdg | rnrnrnanyone know anything about getting sound from the cdrom drive? | 03:14 |
| Slade | sisto: check Synaptic and make sure you have the right drivers for your kernel | 03:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | mdg: do you have sound otherwise? | 03:15 |
| mdg | with console cd player program | 03:15 |
| D4RIUS | mdg, if you let a 2-year old play with it, it will make lots of noise... trust me. | 03:15 |
| purpleback | hi | 03:15 |
| mdg | LOL! I'm sure it will LOL | 03:15 |
| purpleback | i have a noob question >< | 03:15 |
| purpleback | my update manager is doing weird things | 03:16 |
| persiansO | Hi, I have a problem where gnome power manager says I have 500,000 hours remaining when I unplug my laptop. The percentage seems to decrease correctly, it just has this abnormal spike. Can anyone help? | 03:16 |
| sisto | Slade: I have generic server and realtime kernel | 03:16 |
| sisto | it installs fine when I boot on generic kernel | 03:16 |
| purpleback | it keeps telling me that it cant fetch all these files | 03:16 |
| inbitado34 | i can't print any file with inkscape? my printer is a canon ip1500 | 03:16 |
| l3d | is therte a irc server in the repo that anyone would recommend ? | 03:16 |
| Slade | sisto: what im saying is there's kernel specific drivers. Make sure you have all the drivers for the kernel you're working on | 03:16 |
| D4RIUS | mdg, what sound is working on your system? | 03:16 |
| sisto | Slade: ok thanks! will try | 03:17 |

| mdg | D4RIUS, it is a PPC with snd-powermac working in X and console music program, but no sound when I play a cd rom in console only | 03:17 |
| inbitado34 | i can't print any file with inkscape? my printer is a canon ip1500 | 03:18 |
| joanki123 | atcla, apparently ubuntu comes with a cd ripper | 03:18 |
| joanki123 | it's called cd extraction | 03:18 |
| s0ulstice | Anyone know of any ready to burn multi-boot DVD's? IE. A dvd I can burn that has options to boot to several OS's | 03:19 |
| mdg | I can play a cdrom in X just fine, but not from a console | 03:19 |
| * Slade thinks he's gotten too lazy with Windows | 03:19 | |
| jga23 | hoban: just checked my pam confs against my laptop and they look the same | 03:19 |
| D4RIUS | mdg, using ALSA? | 03:19 |
| Slade | im glad my job has finally allowed me to use a linux workstation | 03:20 |
| mdg | yep | 03:20 |
| purpleback | hi | 03:20 |
| hoban | jga23: in that case...I dunno. the symptoms sure point to PAM. did you check /var/log/messages ? | 03:20 |
| purpleback | can anyone explain to me why my update manager doesnt work? | 03:20 |
| inbitado34 | can't print anything with inkscape, but i can with abiword, openoffice, gimp | 03:20 |

| bobertdos | blargh | 03:20 |
| D4RIUS | mdg, does alsamixer work from console? | 03:20 |
| mdg | purpleback: is this a fresh ubuntu install? | 03:21 |
| bobertdos | I don't know that one by heart. Anyway, define "doesn't work" purpleback. | 03:21 |
| Slade | and im also glad that my job was nice enough to buy me a new video card so i didn't have to use my crappy ATI card | 03:21 |
| purpleback | yes mdg | 03:21 |
| excaliber27 | anyhow have any idea where one can find the latest edition of lindvd | 03:21 |
| purpleback | it gives me weird messages when i try to download my stuff | 03:22 |
| mdg | D4IUS, yes. Weird thing is I cannot adjust pcspeaker it just show a box with "oo" and can be muted, but cannot raise levels | 03:22 |
| bobertdos | purpleback: Like what? | 03:22 |
| purpleback | wait one sec | 03:22 |
| purpleback | ill tell you exactly | 03:22 |
| chuy_max | excaliber27, their website perhaps? | 03:22 |
| purpleback | hmm nevermind >.> | 03:22 |
| sbahra | So. | 03:22 |
| purpleback | its not doing it anymore. | 03:22 |
| phlimm | hopefully a quick question: I am trying to help install an app and when I ran the install pkg, there were some errors. The developer wants me to do a "make clean" and try again. He is on the opposite side of the world and so is unavailable ATM. How do I do a "make clean"? thanks | 03:22 |
| sbahra | Some applications that use OSS...cannot actually open /dev/dsp. | 03:22 |
| sbahra | I am trying out this game, "vendetta". | 03:23 |
| Slade | phlimm: go to the directory of the software you're trying to install | 03:23 |
| excaliber27 | chuy_max lol... sounds simple enough... but it's only available to oem's. thought maybe someone where may have some detail. | 03:23 |
| Slade | and type make clean | 03:23 |
| Zelbinian | Can anyone help me get my Vista VM see my Internet connection? I'm kind of baffled. I asked in #vbox, but no one seems to be around. | 03:23 |
| sbahra | Looking around I found that I should add "vendetta 0 0 direct" to /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss | 03:23 |
| sbahra | However, that did not work. | 03:23 |
| HUNTER | cuAL E S LA URL EN EPAÑOL | 03:23 |
| purpleback | ok one more quick question >.> | 03:23 |
| sbahra | There is no esd, /dev/dsp is not being used by anything else. | 03:23 |
| purpleback | sorry | 03:23 |
| purpleback | sorry | 03:23 |

| purpleback | how can i get one of the cool scroll bars like a mac has? >< mac interface>this silly bar at the bottom | 03:24 |
| * sbahra is coming from FreeBSD, where virtual channels in OSS were intrinsic | 03:24 | |
| phlimm | ok i figured that was it, but as I am a total newb in Ubuntu, I do not know the command for browsing to that folder in the terminal window | 03:24 |

| Musashimaru | purpleback, install avant-windows | 03:25 |

| purpleback | and turn into a vertical position | 03:25 |
| Slade | NativeAngels: as400 | 03:25 |
| Musashimaru | purpleback, install avant-windows-navigator | 03:25 |
| D4RIUS | what is the console app you're trying to use? | 03:25 |
| sbahra | Any ideas? | 03:25 |
| purpleback | is this possible without me learning some heavy codeing? | 03:25 |
| Slade | NativeAngels: disregard that | 03:25 |
| Slade | yea | 03:25 |
| purpleback | avant-windows-navigator makes the screen turn? | 03:25 |
| mdg | D4RIUS, its called tcd (terminal console player) | 03:25 |
| Slade | purpleback: avant window navigator makes it do all the cool mac stuff | 03:26 |
| mdg | I've also tried mcdp | 03:26 |
| purpleback | oh oki :3 | 03:26 |

| purpleback | i sort of accidently deleted windows with gparted >< | 03:28 |
| Slade | Musashimaru: that's what happens when blondes don't pay extra attention :) | 03:28 |
| purpleback | and so i was like PERFECT CHANCE TO INSTALL UBUNTU | 03:28 |
| purpleback | ive already got a gaming computer anyway >.> | 03:28 |
| mdg | purpleback - I did that myself - hard lesson to learn ;) | 03:28 |
| D4RIUS | mgd, when you launch it does it say "No Audio" in the corner? | 03:28 |
| sbahra | Hrm, so I guess no one is familiar with allowing some application access to /dev/dsp (with ALSA)? | 03:29 |
| purpleback | it runs faster in ubuntu | 03:29 |
| purpleback | and it looks prettier. | 03:29 |
| mdg | let me check | 03:29 |
| sbahra | or something...I'm not familiar with ALSA. :-) It seems counter-intuitive. | 03:29 |
| purpleback | so im quite happy with it. | 03:29 |
| basix | where do i get the alternate install cd / dvd image for Ubuntu? | 03:29 |
| mdg | Gee I never noticed that | 03:29 |
| sodacan | Could someone please help if they have a few min | 03:29 |
| sodacan | i'm trying to use the terminal | 03:29 |
| sodacan | but i'm terrible | 03:29 |
| D4RIUS | I just installed it on my system and have the same thing (not PPC) | 03:29 |
| sodacan | and it's kinda of an emergency | 03:30 |
| sbahra | sodacan, just ask | 03:30 |
| Ahadiel | sodacan, Ask your question and someone will help if they know the answer. | 03:30 |
| mdg | Hmm, perhaps its just a Cdrom thing | 03:30 |
| mdg | or an alsa thing | 03:30 |
| basix | sodacan, dont ask to ask, just ask your question! | 03:30 |
| sodacan | well, in short.. I need to re-install windows because my roomate does not want to give ubuntu a chance | 03:30 |
| vladdY | i have raid1 ubuntu server, how can i Setup so that the other partition(disk) is bootable too | 03:30 |
| PROGRAMMER | اه | 03:30 |
| PROGRAMMER | HI EVERY BUDDY | 03:31 |
| D4RIUS | No Audio = No CD | 03:31 |
| sodacan | so i'm trying to use this ms-sys utility | 03:31 |
| tarwatirno | sbahra: you should look into pulse's oss wrapper | 03:31 |
| Ahadiel | sodacan, And what don't you get about the terminal? | 03:31 |
| sodacan | I have to install it in the terminal | 03:31 |
| Musashimaru | sodacan, is it your computer? | 03:31 |
| sodacan | no | 03:31 |
| mdg | oh, let me put one in and see if that changes | 03:31 |
| basix | sodacan, just type your question IN ONE LINE | 03:31 |
| sodacan | ok | 03:31 |
| sbahra | tarwatirno, hmmmmm | 03:31 |
| tarwatirno | sbahra: hardy? | 03:32 |
| D4RIUS | I had to put in a CD (had to find one first). It loads the CD | 03:32 |
| Slade | sodacan: ok, so pop in the windows cd, and re-install | 03:32 |
| sbahra | tarwatirno, yes | 03:32 |
| D4RIUS | the No Audio goes away, but there is no sound on mine either. | 03:32 |
| Musashimaru | sodacan, install windows in the terminal??? That sounds strange.... | 03:32 |
| mdg | I put a cd in and it shows "playing", but no audio from it | 03:32 |
| phlimm | I get this result when I do a make clean ---> make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. <--- Is that an error message due to missing syntax? | 03:32 |
| purpleback | what was the thing i needed to get to give my ubuntu mac effects? :3 | 03:32 |
| Slade | phlimm: no, that means that either A: there's no clean directive in the Makefile, or that it wasn't ever configured or compiled in the first place | 03:33 |
| purpleback | avatar-window-somethnig? >.> | 03:33 |
| Slade | purpleback: cairo-dock or avant-window-navigator | 03:33 |
| Musashimaru | purpleback, look at mac4lin in google | 03:33 |
| tarwatirno | sbahra: strt your program with padsp <command> | 03:33 |
| purpleback | thankies | 03:33 |
| sbahra | tarwatirno, [pulse] [ALSA] | [ALSA in kernel] ... other stuff ... ? | 03:33 |

| mdg | rnD4RIUS, perhaps this new pulse audio stuff is messing things up? | 03:36 |
| bobertdos | orgthingy: Can you be more specific? | 03:36 |
| rockyrock | hi guys, i'm having trouble playing my DVD in Totem. Totem doesn't show the available subtitles in the DVD whereas in Realplayer in Windows it shows them. | 03:36 |
| orgthingy | lostxion : get VLC (add/remove) | 03:36 |
| purpleback | so does mac4lin work? | 03:36 |
| D4RIUS | I wouldn't be surprised. I've noticed flakyness since pulse | 03:36 |
| orgthingy | bobertdos : im afraid from attacs | 03:36 |
| Slade | Yamakiri: aoh? | 03:36 |
| chetnick | lostxion: you should be able to watch them with VLC player | 03:36 |
| NetEcho | purpleback yes | 03:36 |
| orgthingy | lostxion : and install gStreamer codecs from add/remove | 03:36 |
| purpleback | does it work well? | 03:36 |
| NetEcho | purpleback its a theme | 03:36 |
| purpleback | i know | 03:36 |
| NetEcho | purpleback it works greats | 03:36 |
| NetEcho | -s | 03:37 |
| purpleback | alrighty :3 | 03:37 |
| bobertdos | purpleback: Pretty well, as long as you can get through Metacity, which can be kinda clunky sometimes. | 03:37 |
| NetEcho | purpleback I use it on 3 systems | 03:37 |
| genii | lostxion: Visit medibuntu.org and add it to your repo list. Then install libdvdcss2 | 03:37 |
| purpleback | metacity? | 03:37 |
| dbl17z | Slade: It was my damn resolution man.. I can't logout while at 1440x900 | 03:37 |

| NetEcho | well 2 right now because I tryed OSx86 on my laptop and it failed horribly | 03:37 |
| Slade | dbl17z: glad i could help ya figure it out | 03:37 |
| rockyrock | Realplayer is the only application that was capable of showing the available subtitle | 03:37 |
| dbl17z | Thanks man.. Why is that an issue ? | 03:37 |

| purpleback | is it hard to install? >< | 03:37 |
| Slade | dbl17z: because the powers that be wanted it that way? | 03:37 |
| NetEcho | purpleback just when it comes to the AWN dock system join #awn and find out about the trunk version... it works much better | 03:37 |
| rockyrock | Realplayer in Windows | 03:38 |
| mdg | purpleback - its mind boggling! | 03:38 |
| purpleback | ok then :3 fuck it. | 03:38 |

| kc8pxy | purpleback: bizzare stings of letters is good for a passwdord:) | 03:41 |
| nirc | does anyone know of a public ssh server I can test my ssh client with? | 03:41 |
| NetEcho | purpleback just follow the Mac4lin documentation and you should understand how to fix any problems with it. heck after my first isntall I made my own set of instructions for efficency | 03:41 |
| kevinO | rockyrock, that sounds like maybe you need an option set to display them | 03:41 |
| nirc | or like a list of public servers | 03:41 |
| bobertdos | threeseas: open a termianl, type->cd .local/share/Trash, then type rm -irf . | 03:41 |
| amenado | whats the command line to search for a specific word in dir/subdir of files? i cant remember the command | 03:41 |
| Slade | purpleback: in a terminal run mkpasswd | 03:42 |
| Slade | use that :) | 03:42 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: so... | 03:42 |
| threeseas | mdg yes from the command line as its has "root" ownership files in it | 03:42 |
| purpleback | i just saved it >.> | 03:42 |
| purpleback | i figured it out | 03:42 |
| purpleback | im stupid. | 03:42 |
| purpleback | ok so if i use this mac4lin thing can i change the desktop background? >.> | 03:42 |
| orgthingy | back | 03:42 |
| alex_1243 | how can I install ubuntu to encrypted disks using 8.04? | 03:43 |
| NetEcho | purpleback you set the background to whatever you want | 03:43 |
| kevinO | rockyrock, so go to preferences and select Automatically load subtitles | 03:43 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: I chose View>Subtitles but it says empty | 03:43 |
| orgthingy | so, when i use my PC (ubuntu) for more than 12 hours (like now, 15 hours) | 03:43 |
| kevinO | ^^ | 03:43 |
| orgthingy | it slows down | 03:43 |
| orgthingy | but when i reboot | 03:43 |
| orgthingy | it works just fine after that | 03:43 |
| FloodBot1 | orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:43 |
| purpleback | alrighty | 03:43 |
| mdg | I've never tried it - perhaps "sudo root rmXXX" where XXX is the file | 03:43 |
| kevinO | rockyrock you see my last post? | 03:43 |
| purpleback | so which theme is your favorite? | 03:43 |
| bobertdos | threeseasL oh sorry, sudo rm -irf . | 03:43 |
| alex_1243 | how can I install ubuntu to encrypted disks using 8.04? | 03:43 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: yeah let me try | 03:43 |
| kevinO | kk | 03:43 |
| purpleback | for the mac4lin | 03:43 |
| D4RIUS | alex_1234 - type that same question in google, you'll get lots of hits. | 03:44 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: doesn't work :-( | 03:44 |
| NetEcho | purpleback it uses a metacity theme but for the desktop background I usualy use the OS X 10.4 backgrounds | 03:44 |
| kevinO | rockyrock, did you exit and reload the disc? | 03:45 |
| hiptobecubic | Can someone help me setup a custom hotkey? I tried to do it in gconf-editor but i'm not having any luck getting it working | 03:45 |
| mdg | rnD4RIUS, thanks so much for your help! I greatly appreciate your efforts | 03:45 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: yeah. Let me check another DVD | 03:45 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, rught under system preferences | 03:45 |
| kevinO | right* | 03:45 |
| D4RIUS | I'm still looking at it, but it seems to be a problem with sound through terminal. | 03:45 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, but i need a custom command | 03:45 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, rught under system preferences> Keyboard Shortcuts | 03:45 |
| D4RIUS | never tried to run a console app for sound. | 03:46 |
| kevinO | oh | 03:46 |
| mdg | its odd that I can use Music on Console in a console, but not play a CD through a console player - just really odd | 03:46 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, you can create a new shortcut with a custom command | 03:46 |
| mdg | I LOVE MOC = Music on Console | 03:46 |
| mdg | worked great in 7.04 | 03:47 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, right click on desktop and choose create launcher... | 03:47 |
| kevinO | maybe that will work for you? | 03:47 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: Totem simply doesn't run the second DVD, where today i tried to run the second DVD in Realplayer in Windows and it works. Totem simply plays some seconds with "black scenes" | 03:48 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, that's for a clickable executable. I'm trying to bind a keyboard hotkey to a command | 03:48 |
| [ifrog] | ,-O | 03:48 |
| threeseas | bobertdos: rm -irf didn't work | 03:48 |

| [ifrog] | UBUNTU LOGO :) | 03:48 |
| threeseas | bobertdos: sudo rm -irf didn't work either | 03:48 |
| [ifrog] | threeseas, work for what? | 03:49 |
| mdg | hiptobecubic: how about System, Preferences -> keyboard shortcuts? | 03:49 |
| threeseas | emptying the trash | 03:49 |
| hiptobecubic | mdg, i can't find where that lets you create a custom command | 03:49 |
| hiptobecubic | mdg, just a custom hotkey combination | 03:49 |
| mdg | threeseas - is this a strictly non-gui install? | 03:49 |
| [ipc]-michael | im havinga difficult time getting songs from r'box or gtkPod onto my iPod. the iPod mounts fine, but when i attempt to transfer a song it disconnects. | 03:49 |

| favro | threeseas: try gksu nautilus / and right click the trash icon | 03:50 |

| mdg | oh, I thought you said "hotkey | 03:50 |
| rockyrock | kevinO: ok thnx | 03:50 |
| purpleback | question: can i download things into folders i create so they're easier to find? >.>;;; | 03:50 |
| kevinO | np | 03:50 |
| threeseas | favro: I tried that and it can't access the trash | 03:50 |
| mdg | you want a custon launcher? | 03:50 |
| hiptobecubic | i know you can are supposed to be able to do it in gconf-editor, but it doesn't seem to be working | 03:50 |
| kevinO | purpleback, you can download anything anywhere you want to :) | 03:50 |
| [ifrog] | sodacan, you dont need a root password, your normal user can get root privileges with sudo. | 03:50 |
| hiptobecubic | mdg, no, i need to bind a hotkey such as (ctrl alt r) to a command | 03:51 |
| sodacan | i'm trying to get to the root in terminal by using 'su root' but it doesnt accept my password... it should be the same one I used to login in the first place, no? | 03:51 |
| kevinO | purpleback, you talking about firefox dl's? | 03:51 |
| mdg | what program are you trying to lauch or what are you trying to do hiptobcubic? | 03:51 |
| favro | threeseas: the trash icon in nautilus' left pane? | 03:51 |
| kevinO | sodacan, ITS SUDO | 03:51 |
| kevinO | sorry for caps* | 03:51 |
| hiptobecubic | it's a python script that i wrote, i want to bind it to a hotkey so that i can run it immediately at anytime | 03:51 |
| purpleback | ya | 03:51 |
| mdg | sodacan - no, you need the root password you setup, not user password | 03:51 |
| eoyoung | hey everyone....just installed...checking it all out | 03:52 |
| joe__ | i also just installed | 03:52 |
| sodacan | mdg: how do i set up a root password | 03:52 |
| zoink | i need some help with my NFS, i can mount it on the client (which is running ubuntu) and read from it, but I can not write to it | 03:52 |
| kevinO | purpleback, please address the person you are talking too so we see you :) you can change the dl directory under firefox preferences | 03:52 |
| threeseas | favro yes | 03:52 |
| purpleback | thank you and sorry >< | 03:53 |
| mdg | hiptobecubic, that would still be a right click and choose an icon, and then the command to start the script and you can choose a shortcut after you set that up | 03:53 |
| purpleback | kevinO: | 03:53 |
| kevinO | purpleback, i suggest you put it somewhere in your home folder | 03:53 |

| ectospasm | does anyone know how to force udev (or whatever) to create a hci0 device for bluetooth? I know my dongle works, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it working. It just magically works after an indeterminate amount of time, and I haven't been able to figure out why... | 03:53 |
| jvm_ | hi. can i keep a penguin in the fridge? | 03:53 |
| Cpudan80 | sodacan: If you want a root prompt - do sudo -i | 03:53 |
| purpleback | so is gimp as good as photoshop? | 03:53 |
| threeseas | favro: Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported | 03:53 |
| eoyoung | I have the ageold need of help with my wifi, anyone wanna take a crack at it? | 03:53 |
| sodacan | oh | 03:53 |
| sodacan | sudo -i worked | 03:53 |
| sodacan | I think? ha | 03:53 |
| D4RIUS | mdg, mp3blaster plays mp3 files just fine from the console. | 03:53 |
| Cpudan80 | purpleback: depends on who you ask, it tries to emulate a lot of the features | 03:53 |
| hiptobecubic | mdg i'll try it thanks | 03:53 |
| zoink | i need some help with my NFS, i can mount it on the client (which is running ubuntu) and read from it, but I can not write to it | 03:54 |
| kevinO | sodacan, and like i said before, if your trying to run a command with root privs, you use sudo | 03:54 |
| Cpudan80 | sodacan: the prompt changes from user@machince$ to user@machine# | 03:54 |
| Cpudan80 | # indicates root level operations | 03:54 |
| kevinO | sodacan, like sudo apt-get install bla bla bla, if you use sudo -i it brings you rihgt to a root prompt, but be careful | 03:55 |
| eoyoung | I have an Atheros card and I believe I have ndiswrapper with a working driver, now I just need to make sure I did it all right, because I cant see networks and there is no wifi led on like I would think there should be | 03:55 |
| mdg | D4RIUS, yes. Console programs play sound just fine. But from CD rom through console program - has me stumped | 03:55 |
| kevinO | right* | 03:55 |
| hiptobecubic | mdg, i made the launcher and it works correctly, but how can i bind a shortcut to it? | 03:55 |
| sodacan | ok, all i'm trying to do here is install this utility : http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/ | 03:55 |
| hiptobecubic | mdg, bind a hotkey to it* | 03:55 |
| mdg | yes | 03:55 |
| sodacan | I was able to extract the file to a folder on my desktop | 03:56 |
| sodacan | but the make command gives me errors and so does 'make install' | 03:56 |

| kevinO | purpleback i swear by gimp, it is great as far as im concerned. It may not have the coolest features as some of its competitors, but it can do the same stuff, you just have to do it by scratch. i created this with gimp and i am a beginner http://nexgenwebs.com/nghost/blucons_preview.png | 03:57 |

| mdg | threeseas , is this non-gui install? | 03:59 |
| michalski | ok thanks erichj | 03:59 |
| kevinO | purpleback, a good way to make sure that its going to work is just use apt-get, or synaptic package manager | 04:00 |
| bobertdos | threeseas: I screwed up the first time. | 04:00 |
| kevinO | purpleback, that way you know it was designed for ubuntu | 04:00 |
| threeseas | mdg don't remember probably not | 04:00 |
| mdg | LOL - I see | 04:00 |
| kevinO | purpleback, but if its not a deb, youll more than likely have to compile it yourself, which you shouldnt worry about now | 04:00 |

| Kingspade | Is there a way to find the edid of the monitor in ubuntu? | 04:13 |
| rafa_ | hey is there anyway to vnc into another computer outside of my home network? | 04:13 |
| windio00 | can a /home directory be shared between openbsd and ubuntu? | 04:13 |
| mneptok | mdg: FYI, Ubuntu has no root password by default, and enabling one is discouraged. | 04:13 |
| mneptok | windio00: sure. | 04:14 |
| David_Bane | Are there any metacommands for making bridges between say a WLAN0 and ETH0? | 04:14 |
| windio00 | mneptok, cool . . . do i have to make sure it is ext3? | 04:14 |
| o0Loco01 | :-D | 04:14 |
| mneptok | windio00: no, format issues are handled locally. just use NFS. | 04:15 |
| Wolfster | I'm trying to upgrade from 7.10 gutsy to the new hardy via alternate cd, and half way through it says "failed to fetch cdrom.... hash sum mismatch" not sure what to do, won't take any updates now... and ideas? | 04:15 |
| genii | Kingspade: Install read-edid Then you can do something like: sudo get-edid | parse-edid | 04:15 |
| windio00 | mneptok, wait but wouldn't config files get messy?à | 04:15 |
| Cheaterman | Salut à tous, j'ai un ami qui a un chipset WiFi récalcitrant, impossible de le faire tourner avec NDISWRAPPER tout comme avec le driver (supposé) natif. Chipset en question : Atheros AR5418. Quelqu'un connaît un peu ce chipset ? | 04:15 |
| Michael | how do i give my ubuntu account root privlages? | 04:15 |
| RequinB4 | !root | 04:15 |
| ubottu | 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 | 04:15 |
| djhash | I've installed ubuntu onto a different drive.. when I went through the entire process installation.. putting grub on that drive, and then dd the first 512 bytes to a file to be loaded by windows bootloader.. i end up getting Error 17!!!.. went through google and forums like a freaking virus and tried all solutions but to no avail.. The problem I belive lies in the fact that ubuntu liveCD sees my harddrives as sda (hd0), sdb(hd1), | 04:15 |
| djhash | sdc(hd2).. while my bios sees them as sda(hd0), sdb(hd2), sdc(hd1).. (using unix mapping)... any one can help? | 04:15 |
| bastid_raZor | Wolfster; download another cd and make sure you md5sum it after the burn. sounds like a bad image on the cd | 04:15 |
| Michael | no, I dont want to use sudo | 04:15 |
| windio00 | mneptok, like if i had gimp running in openbsd and ubuntu? | 04:16 |
| Michael | I want my account to be full root permissions, yes, yes, I know the risks. | 04:16 |
| Wolfster | ok thanks will try that. | 04:16 |
| windio00 | mneptok, and local settings for both? | 04:16 |
| mneptok | windio00: that's what happens when you use a ~/ across OSes | 04:16 |
| Shadowkllr | question-I'm running openssh on my kubuntu box, and i want to make the box an ftp server...does openssh run an sftp server? | 04:16 |
| RequinB4 | Michael: google it, it's against policy to tell people how (yeah, i know -.-) the beleif is that if you can do it you can understand the risks | 04:17 |
| djhash | Michael.. you can setup ubuntu to login as root.. and use root as ur main account.. | 04:17 |
| bobertdos | Michael: The RootSudo article in the will tell you how to unlock it. | 04:17 |

| gabegundy | Can anyone here recommend a PCI Express Mini wireless card with rock solid support under Ubuntu 8.04? | 04:17 |
| windio00 | mneptok, i only have 40 GB and wanted to consolidate as much as possible | 04:17 |
| gabegundy | Or a better channel to ask in? | 04:17 |
| bastid_raZor | gabegundy; #hardware | 04:18 |
| djhash | gabegundy: just find any card that uses Atheros chip and you'll be all set.. | 04:18 |
| gabegundy | djash: that's my problem. | 04:18 |
| mneptok | gabegundy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127218 | 04:19 |
| gabegundy | djhash: that's my prob. | 04:19 |
| djhash | gabegundy: if you google PCI-E Mini Atheros.. i belive you'll get plenty | 04:19 |
| === cmo is now known as sman | ||
| windio00 | mneptok, so i could do 2 different root, and the same /home /var /temp /usr for both Oses ? | 04:19 |
| Michael | Gaa cant find the page | 04:19 |
| mneptok | windio00: i would recommend against /usr | 04:19 |
| djhash | mneptok: that is not PCI-Express MINI.. its a regular PCI-E x1 | 04:20 |
| windio00 | mneptok, doesnt openbsd use a different filesystem though? | 04:20 |
| gabegundy | djhash: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242xj has already let me down. :( | 04:20 |
| pennywise | ? | 04:20 |
| mneptok | windio00: do you ever use Windows to visit websites hosted on Linux? | 04:20 |
| Mayuresh | You still around Kevin? | 04:20 |
| Mayuresh | I am having problem with my sound playback on 8.04 | 04:21 |
| windio00 | mneptok, not ie is insecure | 04:21 |
| RequinB4 | !sound | 04:21 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:21 |
| gabegundy | djhash: That's why I was hoping for somthing that didn't use restricted drivers. Thanks for the feed back. | 04:21 |
| windio00 | mneptok, not=no | 04:21 |
| VipOrX | gabegundy, see PM my AR242x WORKS FINE | 04:22 |
| djhash | gabegundy: just a question..have you tried using ndiswrapper?! to fix ur problem | 04:22 |
| bobertdos | Michael: Oh, no it doesn't anymore (it used to). I don't want to say in the channel because it's quite taboo, but you can PM me if you wish. | 04:22 |
| Mayuresh | I will check these. Thans ubottu | 04:22 |
| mneptok | windio00: think about the question for a minute. | 04:22 |
| threeseas | is there a way to force a files system check and fix at boot up? | 04:22 |
| Flannel | threeseas: sudo touch /forcefsck | 04:22 |
| Mayuresh | to give a backgroud about this... it was all working fine. | 04:22 |
| gabegundy | VipOrX: thanks | 04:22 |
| eQ | what is an equivalent for superkaramba on ubuntu? | 04:22 |
| windio00 | mneptok, yes of course but thats because they both use tcip/ip | 04:22 |
| Mayuresh | I then installed the latest available updates to my system, and that's when it started failing | 04:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | eQ: why can't you just install superkaramba? | 04:23 |
| gabegundy | djhash: that require a access to the windows driver, no? | 04:23 |
| mneptok | windio00: incorrect. it's because the server daemon handles file read/writes. as does the NFS daemon. | 04:23 |
| BFH1 | is there a root account in ubuntu or is it sudo only? | 04:23 |
| RequinB4 | !root | 04:23 |
| ubottu | 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 | 04:23 |
| mneptok | BFH1: there is a root account, but it has no password. use sudo. | 04:23 |
| egc | hi, how can i rewrite grub to the MBR? | 04:23 |
| eQ | LSD|Ninja, i thought it only runs on KDE | 04:23 |
| djhash | gabegundy: yes.. which i doubt you'd have a problem with.. but then again.. nothing is perfect | 04:23 |
| eQ | that's hy | 04:23 |
| RequinB4 | BRH1: yes, but it's disabled by default | 04:23 |
| eQ | why* | 04:23 |
| windio00 | mneptok, if i format one disk ntfs and another ext3 i cant unless i install like ntfs-3g | 04:23 |
| masum | hi help needed | 04:23 |
| mneptok | windio00: you're talking about locallly accessing the disk. not over a share. | 04:24 |
| gabegundy | djhash: I just don't have the Windows media. So, not an option. Thanks. | 04:24 |
| Mayuresh | and now when I play the mp3 or any audio file, it appears to play, but there is no sound coming from the speaker | 04:24 |
| BFH1 | which config file has user files (or is it encrypted)? | 04:24 |
| windio00 | mneptok, im talking about dual booting a laptop with openbsd and disk partitioning | 04:24 |
| djhash | windio00: ntfs-3g is preinstalled in ubuntu | 04:24 |
| Shadowkllr | how do i setup an ftp server with openssh? | 04:24 |
| bubblegumtate | hay, I've got my Left/Ctrl and my Caps_Lock switched, and it doesn't seem to work with any of the layout options that modify the behaviour of the caps lock key | 04:24 |
| mneptok | windio00: oh, i thought you meant "share /home over the network" | 04:24 |
| masum | can u tell how to render unicoded bangla in tty teminal | 04:24 |
| bubblegumtate | e.g. making it behave like a shift-lock | 04:24 |
| masum | can u tell how to render unicoded bangla in tty terminal | 04:25 |
| windio00 | mneptok, no i meant have only one /home directory on a dual boot | 04:25 |
| mneptok | windio00: then yes, you'd need an ext3 formatted partition. and OBSD doersn;t play with ext3 too well, from my experience. | 04:25 |
| * mneptok only uses OBSD on hardware that won't run much else | 04:25 | |
| djhash | !repeat | masum | 04:25 |
| ubottu | masum: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 04:25 |

| windio00 | mneptok, but swap should work? | 04:26 |

| squiddy | hi, i got this error when launching squid "FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set 'visible_hostname' ".. where can i edit visible_hostname ? | 04:27 |
| djhash | RT: if pressing ctrl+alt+f1 gives you a seriese of messages.. then wait untill the messages stop or you notice that you are looping.. booting off of a CD can be slow, depending on the drive speed.. | 04:28 |

| dan | bobertdos, thanks | 04:32 |
| nodoubt | why would ports.conf in etc/apache2 be empty in pico/vi but have data/characters in the file when opened in desktop environment gedit?? | 04:32 |
| Flannel | nodoubt: you must be mistyping it | 04:32 |
| djhash | so.. can grub boot windows.. or does it boot windows bootloader to load windows?!! | 04:32 |
| mneptok | nodoubt: cat /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 04:32 |
| djhash | or both!! | 04:32 |

| genii | dan: the pendrivelinux site has many different install types (persistent running OS, install cd copy, and others) | 04:33 |
| Flannel | Shadowkllr: What are you going to be using it for? | 04:33 |
| [Luc1fer] | Shadowkllr: sftp | 04:33 |
| rrowell | suddenly many of the hotkeys do not work anymore, standard stuff like ALT+F4 to close current window and ALT+F10 for "toggle fullscreen" and ALT+F2 for "Run Window"... Help me keep my 90+ day uptime please! | 04:33 |

| owen1 | illriginal: virtualbox. it's fast! | 04:33 |

| RequinB4 | rrowel: system - prefs - keyboard shortcuts | 04:33 |

| mneptok | nodoubt: sudo nano -w /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 04:34 |
| djhash | Cheaterman: ok.. but Installing grub to the MBR does not overwrite the bootloader.. or am I getting this whole thing wrong.. | 04:34 |
| illriginal | genii... so it runs a lot slower? | 04:34 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: nope | 04:34 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: in fact | 04:34 |
| shiloh7_ | why would someone want windows anyway :P | 04:34 |
| shiloh7_ | especially when you have ubuntu | 04:35 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: grub is installed on your mbr and loads ntldr from c: | 04:35 |
| hiptobecubic | Does windows in virtualbox access hardware through linux or independently? for example, will it be going through the pulse server? | 04:35 |
| illriginal | so I can make PS3 themes -.- since I can't run the program via wine. | 04:35 |
| eQ | do i need to be running KDE to run SuperKaramba? | 04:35 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: as your previous mbr loaded ntldr from c: ;) | 04:35 |
| onexused | because they don't know anything about computers and that's what came with it? Because it's "easier"? | 04:35 |
| Cheaterman | eQ: no | 04:35 |
| nodoubt | mneptok - nano better than vi or old sckool pico? | 04:35 |

| rrowell | RequinB4, Yeah, defaults across the board there , but though it sais ALT+F3 is "Run a Terminal" It just doesn't do it anymore as of 12:00 or so today | 04:35 |
| onexused | or because it runs stuff that linux doesn't as of yet? | 04:35 |
| djhash | Cheaterman: ok.. let me go install grub.. I hope this will fix my error 17 problem | 04:35 |

| hackintosh411 | Hey guys. | 04:41 |
| Farajamo | Hmm | 04:41 |
| hackintosh411 | I need help. | 04:41 |
| computer13137 | Hackintosh, just ask. | 04:41 |
| bobertdos | hackintosh411: Okay, shoot | 04:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | hiptobecubic: by the way if you want to run any USB devices you will need the PUEL from the site the cloused source version. since the OSE Open Source Edition does not support that feature | 04:41 |
| hackintosh411 | My wireless only seems to be working for about 10 mins. A website said for me to disable ipv6 and i did and now im waiting to see the results. | 04:41 |
| computer13137 | Anyway, how can I use an init.d script to start something that requires X? :P | 04:42 |
| hiptobecubic | the OSE doesn't support usb? SebNaitsabes | 04:42 |
| Cheaterman | computer13137: better using your .xinitrc | 04:42 |
| hackintosh411 | Do you guys think it will work? | 04:42 |
| Cheaterman | computer13137: or your bashrc XD | 04:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | hiptobecubic: yep that's right. | 04:42 |
| mneptok | Ububegin: sudo killall java | 04:42 |
| richard | wow | 04:42 |
| computer13137 | Cheaterman, mmk | 04:42 |
| richard | I wish I could add this one to the FAQ | 04:42 |
| speener | can anyone help me get my mic working? | 04:42 |
| bobertdos | hackintosh411: possibly, the best thing is to always make sure you're using the absolute latest driver | 04:43 |
| hackintosh411 | I have broadcom driver. | 04:43 |
| Ububegin | mneptok: thanks lemme try | 04:43 |
| bobertdos | speener: What's wrong with it? | 04:43 |
| computer13137 | Cheaterman: So how do I add a program into that xinitrc script? | 04:43 |
| djhash | Cheaterman: according to my bios.. my hdds are Third Master:250, Third: Slave: 500, fourth:Master:160.. which should translate to hd0, hd1 and hd2 | 04:43 |
| hackintosh411 | But i it connects to wireless for only about 10 mins. | 04:43 |
| speener | bobertdos: it just doesn't work | 04:43 |
| speener | it's a laptop mic | 04:44 |
| Cheaterman | computer13137: just echo "name of the prgrm" >> ~/.xinitrc | 04:44 |
| mneptok | djhash: df -h | 04:44 |
| speener | as | 04:44 |
| hackintosh411 | If disabling my ipv6 works then in about 8 mins ill still have wifi. | 04:44 |
| computer13137 | Cheaterman: Name of program being the full path to it? | 04:44 |
| genii | speener: I smell an Intel HDA audio card there. What does command: lspci | grep Audio report? | 04:44 |
| masum | can u tell how to render unicoded bangla in tty terminal | 04:44 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: it's almost 6am in France, so please understand that i'm a bit too tired to get it all. | 04:44 |
| richard | The reason my function keys aren't working anymore is because the "F-Lock" key on my Logitech wireless keyboard was engaged, meaning Gnome didn't "see" ALT+F2 it saw something else (too lazy to fire up xev and find out what) | 04:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | hiptobecubic: yep for example a Flash Stick won't work in the OSE only in the PUEL | 04:44 |
| Cheaterman | computer13137: if you want a fully posix system but that's not required. | 04:45 |
| bobertdos | speener: The first thing we usually tell people is to go into alsamixer in the terminal and make sure the devices are all enabled, unmuted, and that the volume levels are good. | 04:45 |
| masum | pls nobody knows the answer | 04:45 |
| hiptobecubic | speener, what laptop is it? | 04:45 |
| Ububegin | mneptok: no use dude, nothing is dieing... any other commands | 04:45 |
| richard | thanks for trying though #ubuntu, i love you even if you are lame ;-) | 04:45 |
| hackintosh411 | ill brb | 04:45 |
| speener | hiptobecubic: hp pavilion dv6000 | 04:45 |
| hackintosh411 | i switched to ubuntu from vista. | 04:45 |
| speener | series | 04:45 |
| hackintosh411 | best choice i ever made. | 04:45 |
| hiptobecubic | speener, i have the same one. you're doomed. | 04:45 |
| speener | what? really?? | 04:45 |
| speener | why? | 04:45 |
| speener | everythign else works fine | 04:45 |
| mneptok | Ububegin: what Java apps do you have open? | 04:45 |
| djhash | Cheaterman: no prob. I understand.. but what should I be looking for in df -h? | 04:45 |
| hiptobecubic | speener, i've tried alllllll kinds of things and still no luck. external mic works but the internals do not | 04:46 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: Nothing. You'd better mount them all and look for ntldr file in their roots. | 04:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | !microphone | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about microphone | 04:46 |
| hiptobecubic | speener, it has to do with the way the audio drivers recognize (or don't recognize) our hardware. there's already a bug report on it on the alsa site. | 04:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | speener: do you have any working mic at all? | 04:46 |
| Ububegin | mneptok: I was running some java program..then stopped midway..using Cntrl + Z .. but their processes cant be removed | 04:46 |
| djhash | Cheaterman: i have no problem loading windows.. its ubuntu thats the problem | 04:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | hiptobecubic: also right what about the others. OSS and Pulse? | 04:46 |
| [Luc1fer] | anyone know how or what I would use to create a DVD of mp3's so that I can play it on my cars dvd system. | 04:46 |
| speener | SebNaitsabes: well i have a mic for my desktop | 04:47 |
| Cheaterman | djhash: If you find it, just remember grub config syntax accepts no sdX name and remember also partition numbers and ddevices numbers start from ZERO and not ONE. | 04:47 |
| Cheaterman | Ah | 04:47 |
| hackintosh411 | Dose anyone else here think ubuntu 8.10 is going to be the biggest update ever? | 04:47 |
| speener | but i want my laptops integrated mic to work | 04:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | !kde | 04:47 |

| hackintosh411 | I am free from wired internet! | 04:48 |

| Cheaterman | djhash: Use df -h ? | 04:49 |
| RequinB4 | !sound | 04:49 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:49 |

| sk33t0r | hey all | 04:50 |
| hackintosh411 | My broadcom wireless worked all i had to do is update my system. Then disable my ivp6 | 04:50 |

| sk33t0r | is there such thing as skins for the ubuntu terminal? | 04:50 |
| hackintosh411 | Oh... | 04:50 |

| SebNaitsabes | [Luc1fer]: I see well did you read them? since what I put was relivant to our disccusion | 04:58 |
| eoyoung | can anyon help me with basic query commands with my wifi card to tell me what the possible problem could be...Im using ndiswrapper and it is telling me my driver is installed and the hardware is present | 04:58 |
| RequinB4 | eoyoung: what driver | 04:59 |
| bobertdos | Ashex: actually, it might be something like tar -lf <file> | 04:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | eoyoung: what card? | 04:59 |
| keppi | sk33t0r: Edit -> Current Profile -> Effectst | 04:59 |
| SebNaitsabes | [Luc1fer]: regarding IE | 04:59 |
| Ashex | bobertdos, I had thought it was a command on it's own. I originally thought it was gzcat or something | 04:59 |
| carandraug | HunterAmacker, no. You will still use Windows bootloader | 04:59 |

| clp | thanks | 05:04 |
| hdz | i installed ubuntu the 8.04 got the windows driver for wifi working then did a bunch of updates now the only problem i have is with the sound settings, video plays, audio wont in any form in any app, system beep works thats it, something changed in upgrading kernel if i even did that and i set different devices to playback etc cuz i was trying to find out why it would change like that can anyone help me restore to orginal state for | 05:04 |
| eoyoung | jamus: how can I tell if I have the latest kernel | 05:04 |

| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:05 |

| spadewarrior | Hi there. I've been using XFCE but recently went back to using Gnome with Openbox. Unfortunately I now can't logout - when I try x freezes and I have to ctrl->alt->shift->backspace to get out. Any ideas? | 05:06 |
| bigdiskool | keppi: which clients? | 05:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | jamus: It's a newer chip, the version of madwifi in Hardy doesn't support it | 05:07 |
| eoyoung | jamus: I have DLd so much Im just not sure what Im doing wrong | 05:07 |
| keppi | gmail has pop3 access. hotmail does not. not sure about yahoo. | 05:07 |
| jamus | eoyoung: but u have to disable ath before trying | 05:07 |
| keppi | with hotmail you need to pay for pop3 access. | 05:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | jamus: it'll almost certainly be supported come Intrepid though. perhaps not as well as the 5000 series were by ath_pci but enough to get up and running | 05:07 |
| SebNaitsabes | spadewarriror: have you re booted the computer. since this problem/ | 05:07 |
| eoyoung | jamus: how do I do that, my NM has never found my wireless ath0 | 05:08 |

| LSD|Ninja | jamus: the problem is the version of madwifi in Hardy doesn't support the newer n-capable chips. It's possible to compile a newer madwifi but that's a bit of a hack | 05:11 |

| eoyoung | jamus: Ive upgraded everything there is to upgrade, how can I check to see my current version so I can tell you | 05:14 |
| SebNaitsabes | spadewarrior: if your lucky the recovery mode I just mentioned will indeed help | 05:14 |
| LSD|Ninja | jimenez: Broadcom are relatively easy to set up so long as you have an alternative, working network connection. Almost everyone with Broadcom issues has them because they don't have an alternative network connection | 05:15 |

However, I've installed ubuntu server on another machine and the same file/folders are not displayed properly. how can i fix that problem? | 05:19 |

I'll keep looking. | 05:23 |

| eoyoung | jamus: heh, thanks...I found some instructions here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k on how to enable my card...which apparently is the first thing I need to do, but I dont understand the instructions.. | 05:23 |

| SebNaitsabes | spadewarrior: well if you had you could see if when running openbox on KDE. if KDE has the same issue when it comes to log out. I know that's not really a fix for the problem, but at least then you get more of an idea what the actsaul problem is | 05:24 |
| djhash | finally grub is fixed.. :-D.. it seems like grub likes to guess wrong about the harddrive mapping :-) | 05:24 |
| carandraug | hitman1985, sorry. trying to make the bot telling you that for small talk there's #ubuntu-offtopic and that #ubuntu is for support | 05:24 |
| kwtm | digitalsky: It looks like the characters themselves aren't showing up on your terminal, so you'd need to enable the terminal with the correct font (and language pack, I guess). I guess you're using the GNOME console? (I use KDE, so I'm not familiar with it.) | 05:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | spadewarriror: XFCE is basically a lite waight version of Gnome | 05:24 |

| digitalsky | kwtm: actually what i do (just as before when i had the desktop version) is I putty from a vista machine to the ubuntu server | 05:25 |
| kwtm | ubottu ! What channel do I go to for help with compiz? | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:25 |
| jamus | eoyoung: yea i did , hope u find solution soon man ,full spiritual support mate | 05:25 |
| ethana2 | How do I make ~/.bashrc aliases take precedence over system binaries? | 05:25 |
| eoyoung | lsd|ninja: yes, Im not sure how to do those commands on the webpages, that seems like it would enable my card if I knew what it was talking about | 05:25 |
| masum | RequinB4: how to see unicded bangla page in command line (tty)? | 05:25 |
| carandraug | kwtm, try #compiz-fusion | 05:26 |
| eoyoung | jamus: heh, thank you again...Ive spent too many hours on this to give up now | 05:26 |
| ethana2 | i want to change 'sudo apt-get install (whatever)' to simply 'frigging install (whatever)' | 05:26 |
| === Guest85504 is now known as max | ||
| ethana2 | but 'install' is present on my system | 05:26 |
| ethana2 | never use it, ever | 05:26 |
| kwtm | digitalsky: The same putty that worked with Unicode CJK before? If not, looks like it's Putty. If so, it might be the putty connection. | 05:26 |
| ethana2 | is it safe to remove? | 05:26 |
| kwtm | carandraug: Will try that. Thanks. | 05:26 |

| digitalsky | the files are located on an external usb hdd. It is connected to my ubuntu and shared by samba. When I view it from my vista box, I can see all the chinese/japanese properly. just that I can't see it when i'm on console in linux | 05:26 |
| * ethana2 sudo apt-get remove install | 05:26 | |
| kwtm | Don't suppose anyone would know? Where are the compiz configuration files stored, so that I can go edit them manually or at least look through them? Otherwise I'll go to the compiz-fusion channel. | 05:26 |
| digitalsky | yes it's the same one | 05:26 |
| ethana2 | i have a livedvd and know chroot | 05:26 |
| ethana2 | i'll be fine in the end | 05:27 |
| SebNaitsabes | kwtm: why do you want to do that? what's the need? just use the advanced compiz manager program for the compiz stuff? | 05:27 |
| eoyoung | lsd|ninja: those instructions seem so simple but they dont give specific commands to do what it discribes | 05:27 |
| Wizard2694 | wish i could get it to mount my external hdd | 05:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | eoyoung: They assume the user is familiar with patching, configuring and compiling kernels | 05:27 |
| Wizard2694 | i cant figure out how to force it to see it | 05:27 |
| digitalsky | Wizard2694: mine didn't mount automatically. i had to manually mount it | 05:27 |
| Wizard2694 | im still very nerw to this | 05:27 |
| kwtm | SebNaitsabes: Open source was created so that no one would ever have to be asked that question, "Why would you want to do that? Just use our program like we designed it." That's for a Microsoft world | 05:28 |
| jamus | eoyoung: whatrs ur card again? | 05:28 |
| jamus | eoyoung: whats ur card again?*** | 05:28 |
| carandraug | kwtm, I looked at the manpages of compiz and compiz.real but couldn't find that | 05:28 |
| eoyoung | jamus: Atheros ar928x | 05:28 |
| kwtm | SebNaitsabes: TO answer your question: I have a config setting that I think the graphical settings manager is not setting correctly. | 05:28 |
| LSD|Ninja | jamus: It's one of the n chips. They're supported by madwifi, just not the version that ships with Hardy | 05:28 |
| ethana2 | gahh | 05:29 |
| Wizard2694 | what is the real advantage of ubuntu over Vista? | 05:29 |
| kwtm | SebNaitsabes: And also just to fiddle around and see what options there are, possibly write a script to alter options automatically. | 05:29 |
| ethana2 | E: Couldn't find package install | 05:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | kwtm: well I supouse compiz's files get stored in the usaul folders where LInux programs go | 05:29 |
| sudobash | ubuntu is free | 05:29 |
| ethana2 | how do i use synaptic to see what package the install binary is in? | 05:29 |
| MrPiracy | Wizard2694, NONE | 05:29 |
| sudobash | and more secure if you ask me | 05:29 |
| sudobash | and has better 3D | 05:29 |
| eoyoung | jamus: its a wireless N card so that seems to be the trouble...maybe its too new...the wifi led light turns off once Ubuntu goes to the loggin screen | 05:29 |
| LSD|Ninja | Given the way most people obtain Vista (or any otehr Windows for that matter), it's moreorless free too :P | 05:29 |
| sudobash | i would use a credit card of linux before i would a Microsoft product | 05:29 |

| kwtm | carandraug: Ahh, .gconf! Okay, I'm not familiar with GNOME, so that's why I didn't realize it was there. I had uninstalled it; wonder if that erases all my config files? My understanding is that if you apt-get remove something, the config files stay in case you want to reinstall in the future. | 05:31 |

| eoyoung | jamus: http://www.atheros.cz/ is where I got my winxp driver for ndiswrapper, my card is the one at the bottom, it says its linux suppoerted | 05:31 |
| sudobash | d@mn straight | 05:32 |
| goodbyegravity | mrmiggidude: What directory are you trying to copy the fonts to? | 05:32 |
| mrmiggidude | Go to the middle, where it says Install OSX fonts. | 05:32 |
| mrmiggidude | Umm. | 05:32 |
| goodbyegravity | TTF's go in /usr/share/fonts/truetype | 05:32 |
| mrmiggidude | cd /usr/share/fonts | 05:32 |
| eoyoung | lsd|ninja: thank you, Im checking it out now | 05:32 |
| goodbyegravity | You have to have root privilege to copy anything to that | 05:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | spadewarrior: results? | 05:32 |
| mrmiggidude | let me give you the error code. | 05:32 |
| goodbyegravity | mrmiggidude: I think you can also copy them to ~/.fonts or something like that | 05:32 |
| mrmiggidude | it says something about tar | 05:32 |
| goodbyegravity | oh | 05:32 |
| kwtm | Well, bless your heart, ubottu, I think you've just answered the question I've been asking for the past two days. (If you actually had a heart ...) | 05:33 |

| mrmiggidude | tar: Old option `f' requires an argument. | 05:33 |
| mrmiggidude | Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. | 05:33 |

| bullgard4 | Synaptic says: "smapi is a modified message api for *.MSG, SQUISH (C) and JAM-Messagebase formats. It is required for all other Husky-Software." What is 'Husky'? | 05:33 |

| nirc | 0859 /46 | 05:34 |
| mrmiggidude | sudo tar xvzf /home/username/Mac_files/Mac4Lin_v0.4/Fonts | 05:34 |

| goodbyegravity | mrmiggidude: I'm not sure about telling tar where to output stuff. It may be easier to just extract the files and then copy them there. | 05:35 |
| mrmiggidude | Okay. Can you take a look at that tutorial. because i have no idea what to do if i go away from those steps | 05:35 |

| mrmiggidude | I can't copy anything into that folder. | 05:48 |
| goodbyegravity | mrmiggidude: You have to use sudo | 05:48 |
| BiohazardStevenn | I used sudo apt-get install audacious | 05:48 |
| mrmiggidude | gbg: how? | 05:48 |
| Varanger | hello | 05:48 |
| wols_ | mrmiggidude: that's normal. /usr/share/fonts/ can't be written by normal users | 05:48 |
| goodbyegravity | Just put 'sudo' in front of the command you're using | 05:48 |
| wols_ | mrmiggidude: man sudo | 05:48 |
| goodbyegravity | And then it should prompt you for your password | 05:48 |
| psykidellic | wols_: I agree. I am no Linux guru. Any place where I can look into? The machine is right next to me so I can tell you anything :) | 05:48 |

| sarthor | Hi. I have dell inspiron 1525 laptop with builtin wifi, what will be in source=madwifi_g,wifi0,madwifi in kismet.conf | 05:49 |
| Varanger | What can I use in Ubuntu as an standard SIP softphone? | 05:49 |
| wols_ | !paste | Wizard2694 | 05:49 |
| ubottu | Wizard2694: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:49 |
| wols_ | Varanger: ekiga? | 05:49 |
| mrmiggidude | wth. | 05:49 |
| BiohazardStevenn | so do you know what could be wrong with the other programs? | 05:49 |
| mrmiggidude | man sudo gives me this whole page. | 05:49 |
| goodbyegravity | 'man' means manual | 05:49 |
| wols_ | mrmiggidude: reading is vastly underrated. help.ubuntu.com also helps | 05:50 |
| carandraug | BiohazardStevenn, I'm really sorry about that. I thought you meant audacious. The names really look alike. I don't know about audacity nor vlcplayer but I believe your problem is in the output plugin or sound device they're using. You have to put the correct one | 05:50 |
| mrmiggidude | It gives me 411 lines of text. | 05:50 |
| mrmiggidude | I just want to move this folder into there. | 05:50 |

| === Guest68678 is now known as max | ||
| mrmiggidude | But right now I just want to move the folder named OSX Fonts into /usr/share/fonts/ | 05:51 |
| goodbyegravity | mrmiggidude: For now you can just put "sudo mv OSX /usr/share/fonts" .. I don't think there is a special argument required for a folder | 05:51 |
| wols_ | Varanger: skype is not using SIP and your question is OT | 05:51 |

| carandraug | BiohazardStevenn, also, when you're trying to say something to someone in specific you should start the message with his nick otherwise it's highly probably they won't notice it | 05:52 |

| carandraug | StudentDriver, if another lines comes awating orders (the same that appears when you open a terminal) it means it was executed. However you won't know how it exited. Better would be too look for the verbose option in the man pages of the command (but usually is -v) | 06:18 |

| Le^stat | how do i find out which ones? | 06:22 |
| carandraug | StudentDriver, usually a command syntax is something like "command -options -something_else" By adding -v in the options you sometimes activate verbose mode of the command | 06:22 |

| alistair | hal_v2, sorry make that Faststone image viewer if you like I can send you the installer? | 06:23 |
| StudentDriver | carandraug, so I wouldn't necessarily use "-v" without checking if it is supported, correct? | 06:23 |

| nicholaspaul | Anyone know how i can delete all temp files? I remember someone once told me of a command that could do that... | 06:24 |
| SNuxoll | RequinB4: because it requires them to buy a SSL cert , and uses up extra bandwidth | 06:24 |
| SNuxoll | nicholaspaul: just reboot your machine, that'll clear all of them | 06:24 |
| nicholaspaul | particularly, old kernels | 06:24 |
| SNuxoll | nicholaspaul: old kernels aren't temp files... | 06:24 |
| nicholaspaul | SNuxoll: yea? cool thx | 06:24 |
| hal_v2 | alistair, I can get it. So xnview is a no go? 'Cause I'm downloading it right now. | 06:24 |
| Le^stat | ta | 06:25 |
| SNuxoll | nicholaspaul: temp files == anything in /tmp | 06:25 |
| Dillo_of_Faeo | randomly (it seems), my graphics gets wonky and during video playback, vertical bands appear across the whole screen. This only happens when using stand-alone players, and not web embedded video. | 06:25 |
| nicholaspaul | SNuxoll: so how can i del. the unused kernels? | 06:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | sarthor: I don't know, I've never used kisment. If I were to guess though I'd say probably not. My guess would be what framework you use for wireless in general which I believe is wext (wireless extensions) for most native drivers | 06:25 |
| StudentDriver | carandraug, would there be any danger in re-doing my driver installs as I'm not sure if they took? | 06:25 |
| carandraug | StudentDriver, yes. Search the man page of the command to see if -v activates verbose mode. In can do something else, you never know. ALso remember that it's case sensitive so -v is different that -V | 06:25 |
| SNuxoll | nicholaspaul: you remove them with apt, aptitude, or synaptic | 06:25 |
| _numbers_ | carandraug smplayer skin is not in the list can i sudo apt-get install smplayer skin ? | 06:25 |
| alistair | hal_v2, no totally the wrong one - Faststone is way better by far once youve used that you will likely throw everything else away :-) | 06:25 |
| nicholaspaul | SNuxoll: ok, that makes sense. Its all coming back to me! (its been a long day...) thx | 06:25 |
| StudentDriver | carandraug, i have noticed that stuff is case sensitive | 06:25 |
| bobertdos | nicholaspaul: If you really want to, you can use apt-get or Synaptic to remove old kernel images. Also, sudo apt-get clean (in the terminal) will clear the package cache. | 06:25 |
| carandraug | _numbers_, I'm pretty sure you can find it in synaptic | 06:26 |
| RequinB4 | SNuxoll: Why must they "buy" a SSL cert - why can't they just make one and what gives businesses who sell SSL certs the ability to make them? | 06:26 |

| SNuxoll | RequinB4: goodbyegravity's analogy was spot on | 06:26 |

| mrmiggidude | Where do I access my screenlets? | 06:27 |
| daztronik | self signed SSL certs encrypt the data exactly the same as vendor-signed, you are paying for the big sticker that says "a recognised organisation is certifying this certificate as belonging to a particular server" | 06:28 |
| hal_v2 | Yeah, it works on wine | 06:28 |
| bobertdos | dumbdum: gparted could probably take care of that | 06:28 |
| StudentDriver | carandraug, ok I think i'll try that. I know for sure that my wireless drivers aren't working so I'll probably be redoing those. I believe I asked this question before but I might have missed your response: is there any way to check if my video drivers are installed correctly? | 06:28 |
| SNuxoll | daztronik: which is half the reason self-signed certs are bad | 06:28 |
| SNuxoll | daztronik: SSL certs aren't just used to encrypt data, they are used to verify the other party | 06:29 |
| dmsuperman_ | help! my tty is 100% black, no text shown. my bootup also doesn't show anything when normally it would give me a detailed report of everything it's doing | 06:29 |

| bobertdos | StudentDriver: which drivers? | 06:29 |
| dumbdum | Thanks bobertdos! | 06:29 |
| SNuxoll | daztronik: they were designed to protect confidential information | 06:29 |
| StudentDriver | bobertdos, my video and cpu scaling drivers. I'm using an HP2133 | 06:30 |
| RequinB4 | ok, so it's like a secure telephone connection -- you aren't 100% (as much as you trust the third party, that is) sure that the server with the cert is the legit server you want | 06:30 |
| SNuxoll | daztronik: part of that is verifying who you are going to send the data too, especially with stuff like credit card numbers | 06:30 |
| Kuprin | so then...what IS a good laptop for Ubuntu these days? | 06:30 |

I have photos the are trapped in a corrupted partition on a failing hdd. I have tried testdisk, dd, gnuddrescue, photorec with nothing recovered. I have tried fsck and several other cli commands. Can anyone tell me of another tool that I can install that has a gui frontend that is able to look back through several delet | 06:51 |

| xaj | hello all, just got ubuntu to recognize my winmodem and get it to go on the internet. however, whenever i run firefox and visit a site it says that it is in offline mode, how do i put it in online mode? | 06:52 |
| alistair | Its after doing a bios update | 06:52 |
| carandraug | annie_g, it has to do whether Linux is usung UCT or the BIOS time | 06:52 |
| hitman1985 | i just now switched since all the vista stuff came up and i was filled up with the ms rip offs | 06:53 |
| hitman1985 | so i built this one up for linux | 06:53 |

| damien | does anyone no where i would got to get a MPEG4 pluging , coz i downloaded a few family guys vids and it will only play audio | 06:53 |
| carandraug | annie_g, UTC makes sense because it greatly simplifies changing timezones and daylight savings time. localtime is necessary if you dual boot with an operating system such as Windows, that only stores localtime to the hardware clock. | 06:54 |
| hitman1985 | damien get vlc player :) | 06:54 |
| damien | ok thanks | 06:54 |

| discombobulated | anyone have a problem with multiple downloads being corrupt? it's fine with just one | 06:54 |
| chao1 | hitman1985: glitches are usually cause by using the community repositories. granted some hardware takes a little work but that is due to the hardware manufacturers. | 06:55 |

| sk33t0r | anything else in ubuntu thats as fun to mess around with as screenlets? | 06:55 |
| carandraug | annie_g, try this (if you use Gnome). Right click in the clock and choose preferences. See if the UTC box is ticked? It shouldn't | 06:55 |
| sk33t0r | I heart the terminal screenlet | 06:56 |
| chao1 | hitman1985: thats good ;-). howtoforge.com is good | 06:56 |
| === Guest78130 is now known as max | ||
| annie_g | carandraug: Wow - that's incredible ! So when I go into BIO's my clock time is write - but when I totally turn off power via a key for tray - My time still changes - this is totally weird. | 06:56 |
| chao1 | among other sites | 06:56 |
| carpediem | sk33t0r: for me, I'd saw awn | 06:56 |
| djhash | sk33t0r: you could mess around with Compiz fusion | 06:56 |
| bobertdos | annie_g: and if the option for UTC isn't even there, there's a file you can edit. | 06:56 |
| hitman1985 | i read stuff in ubuntuforums.com | 06:56 |
| sk33t0r | yea Ive messed around with that already | 06:56 |
| === max is now known as Guest41534 | ||
| hitman1985 | but its just to much info for one issue and thats why i basicly did my mistakes so far | 06:57 |
| annie_g | right | 06:57 |
| hitman1985 | love to have irc working now | 06:57 |
| sk33t0r | unfortunately my gfx card isnt that great on my laptop so my options are somewhat limited | 06:57 |
| sk33t0r | ati x300 mobile | 06:57 |
| annie_g | bobertdos: hang on wiull check. | 06:57 |
| annie_g | will | 06:57 |
| carandraug | annie_g, if you use UTC, you can leave the BIOS clock by Greewich that Linux will make the changes without chaging it. Windows needs to change the time in BIOS. That's the problem | 06:58 |
| hitman1985 | is there a quick fix for this mess with my audio devices ? | 06:58 |
| hitman1985 | since i got all that stuff on here twice i guess | 06:58 |

| enzotib | it is possible to configure grub to boot-load an ISO image of an Ubuntu Live CD? | 07:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | !iso | 07:20 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | !install | 07:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 07:20 |

| Flannel | Jkewlo: There should be a sample Windows entry in the comments in your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst) | 07:33 |
| Flannel | Jkewlo: You just need to change the partitions, and copy it to the end of your menu.lst (and uncomment it, of course) | 07:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | enzotlib: yep and Gnome apps can be run in KDE. meaning KDE users don't have to have the whole of Gnome installed for those apps | 07:34 |

| kaffien | so kubuntu 8.04 will not boot on the eeepc 701 or the 1000 should i bother trying ubuntu hardy? | 08:12 |
| mattzab | After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used. | 08:12 |
| Cyber_Stalker | my routing table seems to be incorrect would that cause network problems | 08:12 |
| djhash | mattzab: that is normal.. | 08:12 |
| kevin_ | NodeRazor: I've checked there, I don't see any option to disable icons. | 08:12 |
| mattzab | What would you suggest? | 08:12 |

| djhash | !flood >Gheym | 08:14 |
| djhash | !flood | Gheym | 08:14 |
| ubottu | Gheym: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 08:14 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, what you can due is remove or move the /usr/share/icons folder. | 08:14 |
| NodeRazor | that might due it. | 08:14 |
| Lunks | just a little question, what menu option there is besides preferences on system? | 08:15 |
| mattzab | Lunks, I have Preferences, Administration, and Control Center | 08:15 |
| Lunks | Hmm duh | 08:15 |
| Lunks | On 8.10, menu order has changed | 08:15 |
| mattzab | so what are you saying here? | 08:15 |
| sheep | Lunks: this channel doesn't support 8.10. For 8.10, try #ubuntu+1 | 08:15 |
| NodeRazor | ;-) I haven't tried Ubuntu 8.10 yet, will due soon... nice to see whats new. | 08:15 |

| kevin_ | NodeRazor: :'C | 08:17 |
| woozzy | hi all i need to move a file from one location to another via the termnial app. cos i cant do it the normal copy paste way as i dont have permission. | 08:17 |
| kevin_ | NodeRazor: It goes better with the theme I'm trying to use. | 08:17 |
| alistair | Help: lost network connection - Windows share empty; anyone pse advise? | 08:17 |
| wols_ | woozzy: mv with sudo. or gksudo nautilus | 08:17 |
| mattzab | so there are no other options? just reinstall ubunto from zero? | 08:17 |
| wols_ | alistair: smbclient -L <windows IP>. does it show the sharenames? | 08:17 |
| kevin_ | NodeRazor: For something like that, moving my /usr/share/icons folder seems trivial. | 08:17 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, ok I found it | 08:18 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, go to System > Appearance | 08:18 |
| kevin_ | NodeRazor: K. | 08:18 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, they you should have "Apperance Preference" window open. | 08:18 |
| ElectricField | does Richard Stallman talk on here? | 08:18 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, then ander Interface | 08:18 |
| ElectricField | need to contact him urgently | 08:18 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, disable show icons in menus ;-) | 08:18 |
| djhash | mattzab try "sudo apt-get -f install ubuntu-desktop" | 08:18 |
| NodeRazor | that should due it. | 08:19 |
| kevin_ | NodeRazor: YES. Alright. Anytime your in St. Louis, I owe you a drink. | 08:19 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, is that what you need? | 08:19 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, lol thanks. | 08:19 |
| alistair | wols_, I just did smbclient -L (no ip) and nothing is shown do you want me to paste results? | 08:19 |
| kevin_ | NodeRazor: Much love rasta. | 08:19 |
| mattzab | djhash, it says that ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version | 08:19 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, I did not know about this future my self lol | 08:20 |
| SitUbuntuSit | kevin, that's an elegant solution... otherwise, just backup then remove the contents of /usr/share/gnome/apps/ I think to accomplish the same thing | 08:20 |
| NodeRazor | kevin_, just found it =) | 08:20 |
| ufk | hi | 08:20 |
| ElectricField | Does Richard Stallman chat on here? | 08:20 |

| kevin_ | Sure thing, h/o. | 08:20 |
| ufk | i have mysql installed on ubntu 8.04 on a lenovo r61 laptop and it takes lots of resources. how can i low the priority of the process? using nice 19 or something ? | 08:20 |
| alistair | wols_, I see I got to give it a name I will try again sri | 08:20 |
| djhash | mattzab: then try "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 08:20 |

| === Guest69617 is now known as max | ||

| kevin_ | NodeRazor: Could a direct link to ImageShack suffice? | 08:21 |
| === max is now known as Guest34436 | ||
| NodeRazor | kevin_, yes, that will work too | 08:21 |
| kcman | is there a software that will let me mount .cue or .bin files | 08:22 |
| Flannel | ufk: "nice [command]" runs command with associated niceness. "renice" is used to adjust niceness of already running commands | 08:22 |
| ufk | oh cool thanks | 08:22 |
| hateball | kcman: Not that I know, but you can use bchunk to convert to an iso | 08:22 |
| mattzab | djhash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38719/ | 08:23 |
| alistair | wols_, sri cant get my head around smbclient | 08:23 |
| kcman | hateball is that on the res? | 08:23 |
| wols_ | mattzab: check /var/log/dpkg.log | 08:23 |
| hateball | !info bchunk | 08:23 |
| ubottu | bchunk (source: bchunk): CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-6 (hardy), package size 13 kB, installed size 68 kB | 08:23 |
| wols_ | alistair: I gave you the exact command | 08:23 |
| Flannel | ufk: Also, you could always turn it off when you're not using it. | 08:23 |
| moDumass | ah awesome, um, i have a portable harddrive mounted on my desktop and i cant unmount it, even removed it and restarted and still it is there | 08:23 |
| ufk | it's a developer laptop we always use it. | 08:24 |
| ufk | the renice looks cool i'll try it thanks | 08:24 |
| mattzab | wols_ this is nasty long, what exactly am I looking for in here? | 08:24 |
| wols_ | moDumass: something has a file open on thatdrive | 08:24 |
| moDumass | wols_ that drive isnt even connected to my machine | 08:24 |
| wols_ | mattzab: there are timestamps in there that tell you when was what removed | 08:24 |
| wols_ | moDumass: a not connected drive can't be mounted... | 08:25 |
| wols_ | at least not after a restart | 08:25 |
| alistair | wols_, bash: windows: no such file or directory | 08:25 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, did you try > umount -f <hd> | 08:25 |
| wols_ | alistair: I don't know the IP of your windows box | 08:25 |
| moDumass | NodeRazor, no but i surely will | 08:25 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, are you trying to unmount hard drive or remove a file from it? | 08:25 |
| mattzab | wols_: will it show up in here if it was not removed by synaptic? | 08:26 |
| moDumass | NodeRazor, im just trying to unmount it | 08:26 |
| === Guest34436 is now known as max | ||
| azn_emo_boi101 | !twss | 08:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about twss | 08:26 |
| moDumass | i might re plug it in, and then unmount it once its been recognised | 08:26 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | !!! | 08:26 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | thats what she said. | 08:26 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, yeah, then try running fdisk | 08:26 |
| === max is now known as Guest42462 | ||
| NodeRazor | and see which hard drive you need to unmount, unless you already know. | 08:26 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | format c | 08:27 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, then run for example umount -f /dev/sdc | 08:27 |
| alistair | wols_, smbclient -L <10.1.1.5>. does that look like it should be? | 08:27 |
| Flannel | azn_emo_boi101: Please try and keep on topic in this channel. We have -offtopic for silly remarks. | 08:27 |
| moDumass | hmm, and now there are 2 "My Books" on my desktop | 08:28 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Off topic is quiet. | 08:28 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, after you unmount hard drives you can simply delete those shortcuts. | 08:28 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, useally they will be in /mount/ or /mnt/ | 08:28 |
| alistair | wols_, if so it comes back with no such file or directory | 08:28 |
| NodeRazor | so for example you need to unmount sdc | 08:28 |
| mattzab | wols_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/38720/ is from today right when I ran the remove thing. Can I just apt-get install each thing that it removed and everything should work again? | 08:29 |
| caco | and mount a woman instead. | 08:29 |
| caco | bam | 08:29 |
| NodeRazor | umount -f /dev/sdc then rm -rf /home/<hd_name> | 08:29 |

| MrObvious | paolo_: Sometimes I just like removing ~/.* just to clean things out, but sometimes I get overzealous. I wouldn't recommend it though. | 08:42 |
| paolo_ | MrObvious: it is worse than that. I cannot choose any file.jpg as a desktop background | 08:42 |
| NodeRazor | moDumass, like /dev/sda1 etc. | 08:42 |
| paolo_ | MrObvious: I guess that is the only thing for me left to do | 08:42 |
| MrObvious | paolo_: I'm just the type of person that if something like that bugged me I would just start over. | 08:42 |
| MrObvious | paolo_: I would make a backup just in case you accidently nuke something. | 08:43 |
| MaximB | does commenting (#) also works at the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files ? | 08:43 |

| skoenman | how i know this is that you go to this one site and download n virus and its suppost to stop it | 09:12 |

| cojones_ | is it possible to optimize ubuntu for an i686 machine and not use the generic kernel? | 09:44 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | So, what should I do guys? | 09:45 |
| opr_ | yes you must compile your own one | 09:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | what happens if I remove ubuntu-desktop? | 09:45 |
| hwilde | azn_emo_boi101, you dont want to do that | 09:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Never mind. | 09:45 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, nothing happens .. it's just a meta-paclage | 09:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Yeah | 09:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | I guess I could use xfce | 09:45 |
| unop | meta-package* | 09:45 |
| cojones_ | i tried running a rt kernel once and that ruined everything | 09:45 |
| cojones_ | (ruined updates that is) | 09:45 |
| hwilde | cojones_, why dont you like the generic kernel | 09:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | But I like gnome. | 09:46 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, you still trying to fix the broken package states? | 09:46 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | yeah | 09:46 |
| wols_ | unop: the meta packages is no biggie, missing pixbuf-engines however is | 09:46 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, try this. sudo aptitude install -f | 09:46 |
| bazhang | unop, he has mixed gutsy feisty sources for a hardy install | 09:46 |
| wols_ | azn_emo_boi101: if you can, try another mirror, update and dist-upgrade | 09:46 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | How? | 09:46 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | and dist-upgrade to WHAT? | 09:47 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | I'm on hardy | 09:47 |
| hwilde | not quite | 09:47 |
| wols_ | bazhang: it still should upgrade to hardy only | 09:47 |
| Theaxiom | I installed the vmware tools after installing ubuntu in vmware, and when I rebuilt the vmxnet module and restarted networking, my nic could no longer receive an ip address. How do I switch back to my old vmxnet module? | 09:47 |

| azn_emo_boi101 | How do I mirror? | 09:47 |
| unop | bazhang, well, i'm surprised that has an impact .. it shouldn't do | 09:47 |
| bazhang | also comment out the feisty repos and 3rd party ones azn_emo_boi101 | 09:47 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | How? | 09:47 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | That apittude install -f gave me some imput | 09:47 |

| unop | zamanfou, in memory | 09:53 |
| hwilde | Theaxiom, and it doesn't work for everyone, and if you want sound you have to recompile sound. and if you change video cards you have to recompile your kernel, etc etc | 09:53 |

| unop | azn_emo_boi101, yes | 10:04 |
| wols_ | azn_emo_boi101: dist-upgrade? | 10:04 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | opening windows | 10:04 |
| hwilde | turn off all the fancy effects | 10:05 |
| unop | wols_, iirc, he's already on hardy | 10:05 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | But I love my effects D: | 10:05 |
| wols_ | unop: but he had packages from feisty and guts in his output, as bazhang said | 10:05 |
| hwilde | run the upgrades! | 10:05 |
| bazhang | azn_emo_boi101, then get a better video card and more ram. | 10:05 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | I'm on a laptop | 10:06 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | I can hardly upgrade the card | 10:06 |
| hwilde | there is no way vista runs faster on that laptop with only 512mb of ram. | 10:06 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | XP | 10:06 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | not vista | 10:06 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Can I cancel updating? | 10:06 |
| bazhang | turn off compiz and get rid of awn then | 10:06 |
| bazhang | also remove ppa repos and all 3rd party repos | 10:07 |
| wols_ | and pray you don't use a SIS videocard | 10:07 |
| bazhang | azn_emo_boi101, and back up your files NOW. | 10:07 |
| hwilde | lol | 10:07 |
| unop | wols_, i think bazhang said he had feisty and gutsy sources .. not necessarily packages .. and his grep of dpkg -l for gtk packages showed he had newer packages than hwilde did. | 10:07 |
| hwilde | yeah he had three newer packages, but older repos | 10:07 |
| hwilde | go figure | 10:08 |
| bazhang | unop, he has hardy proposed sources as well | 10:08 |
| * hwilde thinks he tasted the intrepid and didn't like it | 10:08 | |
| unop | hwilde, how do you come to that conclusion? :) | 10:08 |
| hwilde | how did he get 4ubuntu3 | 10:08 |
| hwilde | that is beyond hardy | 10:09 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Guys, can I cancel updating? | 10:09 |
| unop | hwilde, hardy proposed | 10:09 |
| bazhang | hardy proposed make it into intrepid? | 10:09 |
| Abracadabra | Hello :) | 10:09 |

| zyclop | I have sound with the system sounds and Amarok, but nothing else. Is this a known problem? | 10:09 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | unop: I haave a limited amount of download space a day, if I can't finish | 10:09 |
| bazhang | Abracadabra, install pastebinit | 10:09 |
| erno | does anyone know how to configure the slapd password for ldap? | 10:09 |
| Slart | Abracadabra: ctrl+shift+c, ctrl+shift+v | 10:10 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Nvm, tt's run | 10:10 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | it'll run | 10:10 |
| hwilde | erno, sounds too obvious but /etc/openldap/slapd.con ? | 10:10 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, you can .. but you might break the packages again | 10:10 |
| BezNalogov | zyclop: Can you give an example of a prog that doesnt give sound? | 10:10 |
| Slart | Abracadabra: oh.. or wait.. not on the tty | 10:10 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | D: | 10:10 |
| Slart | Abracadabra: that's in a terminal | 10:10 |

| Abracadabra | slart, and how to select text (sorry for the n00b question)....gotta start somewhere :) | 10:11 |
| hwilde | zyclop, on my computer only the first app I open gets access to the soundcard. have to close it before another app can access | 10:11 |
| bazhang | azn_emo_boi101, chat in offtopic channel | 10:11 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Sorry | 10:11 |
| zyclop | BezNalogov, Firefox and Totem | 10:11 |
| unop | Abracadabra, how do you access the server maching? console or ssh? | 10:11 |
| Slart | Abracadabra: I don't know.. I've never had to copy paste on a raw tty in text mode.. but try gpm | 10:11 |
| unop | Abracadabra, s/maching/machine/ | 10:11 |
| Slart | Abracadabra: and there's no need to be sorry.. we've all been there at some time | 10:12 |
| Abracadabra | unop, console....not through PuTTy | 10:12 |
| hwilde | Abracadabra, what exactly do you want to do? | 10:12 |
| unop | Abracadabra, try gpm then. | 10:12 |
| hwilde | Abracadabra, why not just echo "text you want to copy here" >> fileyouwanttopastehere | 10:13 |
| hwilde | then deal with cut n paste in the editor | 10:13 |
| unop | hwilde, temporary files can be a hassle .. and it's easier to just use a mouse if you have one | 10:13 |
| Abracadabra | hwilde, I have installed Ubuntu server under VMWare, and am testing a Network monitoring tool. I need to select and copy/paste some of the config files | 10:14 |
| Abracadabra | Is there any SHIFT+right arrow to highlight and a key combination to copy/paste ? :/ | 10:15 |
| soundray | Abracadabra: no | 10:15 |
| Abracadabra | *Isn't there | 10:15 |
| gchaos | is there some software for making electronic music in Ubuntu? | 10:15 |
| soundray | Abracadabra: you can use the mouse to copy/paste if you install gpm, or you can run GNU screen, which lets you copy from the buffer and paste elsewhere | 10:15 |
| soundray | !screen | Abracadabra | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Abracadabra: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 10:15 |

| Rafik | DNAngel, have you asked the laptop team ? #ubuntu-laptop | 10:37 |
| DNAngel | nope | 10:38 |
| enkrypt | hwilde: its the most normal sources.list, only contains archive.ubuntu.com univers etcetera | 10:38 |
| hwilde | enkrypt, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.lst | 10:38 |
| dougsko | anyone know of a way to copy and paste to and from terminals without using the mouse sorta like vim in visual mode? | 10:38 |

| DNAngel | join #ubuntu-lapto | 10:38 |
| hwilde | dougsko, you should be able to echo it to a file then open in the other term | 10:38 |
| Expl0ited | unop: rxvt doesn't have its own config files? | 10:38 |
| dougsko | hwilde: yeah but that wont work across different machines | 10:39 |
| unop | Expl0ited, not really no .. without that file, rxvt uses its defaults | 10:39 |
| DNAngel | and how can i fix error disk on ubuntu. My removable flash drive get some error | 10:39 |
| xim | is there a way to make it so evolution will only open one instance at a time, i keep finding like 6 of them open | 10:39 |
| hwilde | dougsko, you are trying to copy and paste across different machines? | 10:39 |

| unop | Expl0ited, don't paste in here | 10:40 |
| Rafik | soundray, nothing returned, seems to be ok | 10:40 |
| Expl0ited | omfg I forgot sorry :( | 10:40 |
| DNAngel | how can i fix error disk on ubuntu?. My removable flash drive get some error | 10:40 |
| dougsko | hwilde: yeah, i have a ton of different servers here, and i need to copy/paste a lot between terminals, so im just looking for a way to use my mouse less. | 10:40 |
| Circus-Killer | am i correct in thinking that i should not use fsck while the filesystem is still mounted? | 10:40 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | expl0ited, sudo | 10:40 |
| Theaxiom | hwilde, a folder in my desktop... | 10:40 |
| hwilde | dougsko, scp between the machines | 10:40 |
| soundray | Rafik: but the external screen is still blank? | 10:40 |
| unop | Expl0ited, if you want to adjust rxvt settings.. create an ~/.Xdefaults file and add your settings in | 10:41 |
| Expl0ited | azn_emo_boi101: you don't need sudo for locate.. only for updatedb :P | 10:41 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | idk | 10:41 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | if you don't have permissions | 10:41 |
| soundray | Rafik: oh, sorry | 10:41 |
| Expl0ited | unop I found the examples file :( Im an idiot ... | 10:41 |
| Rafik | soundray, I'm on the command line ont the external screen | 10:41 |
| dougsko | hwilde: that would technically work, but it wouldnt exactly make my workflow more efficient | 10:41 |
| hwilde | dougsko, you should look into Synergy https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto | 10:41 |
| soundray | Rafik: please try Alt-F7 now to see if X displays on the external | 10:41 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, sudo locate will usually give you different results to locate .. | 10:41 |
| Rafik | startx ? | 10:42 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | oh | 10:42 |
| soundray | Rafik: no, Alt-F7 | 10:42 |
| dougsko | hwilde: synergy is awesome, but there's no X on any of these machines | 10:42 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, you shouldn't use sudo unless you want to search for files that don't belong to you | 10:42 |
| DNAngel | erm, so maybe i just hope 4530 will support later then. well, my old PC is good enough until next ubuntu release then :P | 10:42 |
| Expl0ited | unop: true that. | 10:42 |
| Rafik | soundray, black screen | 10:42 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | well, he said he may not have permissions | 10:42 |
| hwilde | dougsko, make a samba share and mount it on all the machines ? | 10:42 |
| soundray | Rafik: okay, try Ctrl-Alt-F9 | 10:42 |
| hwilde | DNAngel, you need to try ultimate. | 10:42 |
| Expl0ited | azn_emo_boi101: sorry about this misunderstanding. its ok. | 10:43 |

| dabbu | azn_emo_boi101:but i want a specific one | 10:48 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Help. | 10:48 |
| DistroJockey | soundray, I'm not familiar with the xrandr switches. Does --output VGA mean physical output? | 10:48 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | dabbu: oh | 10:48 |
| soundray | !html | dabbu | 10:48 |
| ubottu | dabbu: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 10:48 |
| soundray | DistroJockey: yes | 10:49 |
| Rafik | soundray, DistroJockey ; should I try the same command with :1 ? ^^ | 10:49 |
| DistroJockey | soundray, ahh. Rafik , no that won't help I don't think | 10:49 |
| soundray | Rafik: what do you get from 'sudo ddcprobe' (back in the console with Ctrl-Alt-F2)? | 10:50 |
| DistroJockey | soundray, Rafik : only thing I can think of is adding a screen definition in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:50 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Why won't firefox open? | 10:51 |
| soundray | DistroJockey: I'm very reluctant to fiddle with an apparently working xorg.conf when you can't see the results ( Rafik) | 10:51 |
| DistroJockey | Rafik, can you do the following please?: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 10:51 |
| DistroJockey | soundray, yeah, true | 10:51 |
| unop | azn_emo_boi101, another instance of firefox is runnign and has probably crashed | 10:51 |
| zyclop | azn_emo_boi101, have you tried running it from the console? | 10:52 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | i closed them all from system monitor | 10:52 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | no | 10:52 |
| unop | DistroJockey, uuoc :) pastebinit < /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:52 |
| Rafik | soundray, DistroJockey : now i'm still having the blinking "_" on the external screen | 10:52 |
| etronik | sorry to be offtopic, but can you recommend an UML related channel ?? I don't know of any | 10:52 |
| zyclop | azn_emo_boi101, then do | 10:52 |
| DistroJockey | unop, uuoc? | 10:52 |
| soundray | Rafik: Hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get back to your console login | 10:52 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | yeah nothing | 10:52 |
| unop | DistroJockey, useless use of cat. :) | 10:52 |
| soundray | Rafik: and forget ddcprobe | 10:52 |
| DistroJockey | unop, fair enough :) | 10:53 |
| soundray | Rafik: please try 'xrandr -display :0' instead | 10:53 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | firefox still wont open | 10:53 |
| Rafik | soundray, ok | 10:53 |
| DistroJockey | unop, thanks :) | 10:53 |
| zyclop | azn_emo_boi101, are there any error messages? | 10:53 |

| hwilde | soundray, on my laptop, external hardware output would not activate unless I booted into windows and hit ctrl+f7 or whatever, then reboot into linux and it would export. never got around that | 10:59 |
| hwilde | renato__, what symptoms | 10:59 |
| soundray | hwilde: and you've been through all the xrandr stuff? | 10:59 |
| Rafik | soundray, black screen... | 11:00 |
| astarmathsandphy | hi | 11:00 |
| hwilde | soundray, yeah the dang hardware was not outputting nothing | 11:00 |
| hwilde | soundray, didn't even have to login to windows tho, just the login prompt, then reboot. | 11:00 |
| hwilde | soundray, replicated on multiple dell laptops | 11:00 |
| renato__ | well, I cannot log in anymore, I managed to have a look at the server by booting from a cd (the system does not boot anymore for priviledges problems) I see my own homedir has differen user and group, the auth lof stops 10 days ago.... | 11:00 |
| renato__ | lof = log | 11:00 |
| soundray | Rafik: was there another "connected" line in the xrandr -q output? Do Ctrl-Alt-F2 to see it again | 11:01 |

| kk_ubuntu | hello im having ubuntu hardi 8.04.1 on an ibm lenovo thinkpad r 60. it has a core2 duo processor with 1 gb ram. I am trying to set it to record through sound recorder. although it does not give any errors, it is not recording any sound. the mike is working but the file is all blank. | 11:31 |
| Scorp_ | gnomefreak: Gotcha.. Thanks..!! | 11:31 |
| gnomefreak | !ultamatix | Scorp_ | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Scorp_: ultamatix is not supported by Ubuntu. It can cause system damage and should not be used, if you need support with it please go to http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1365 for support. If you refer or suggest users install Ultamatix you are subject to a warning the first time, a removal from channel for second time and a ban for the third time. | 11:31 |
| soundray | BonezAU: I think it will work if you run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' and answer 'No' at the dialog, then 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | vox: nice. haha | 11:32 |
| Scorp_ | gnomefreak: Alright... I got you... | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kk_ubuntu: have you configured your capture application? | 11:32 |
| BonezAU | soundray: I still get the error about bnetd failing to install | 11:32 |
| JonathanJenkins | hey, i'm running a uk-wide survey and would really appreciate some responses if people can spare 5-10mins, there will be a draw for a Nokia E71 for those who take part. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/61605/demand-for-mobile-data-ubuntu | 11:32 |
| soundray | BonezAU: does /bin/sh point to bash now? | 11:33 |
| Oli`` | JonathanJenkins: Not here. This is a support channel. | 11:33 |
| soundray | JonathanJenkins: might be better to ask in #ubuntu-uk | 11:33 |
| Oli`` | soundray: no =( | 11:33 |
| kk_ubuntu | ActionParsnip: what exactly should I do? a hint is that it was working fine before. | 11:34 |
| JonathanJenkins | soundray already done there but suspect few users go there | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kk_ubuntu: fire up your app and make sure its all set right in the config, or reinstal the app | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kk_ubuntu: or use a different one | 11:35 |
| BonezAU | soundray: yes it does | 11:35 |
| kk_ubuntu | ActionParsnip: i tried arecord and sound recorder | 11:35 |
| _numbers_ | good morning | 11:35 |
| soundray | BonezAU: okay, let's apply some brute force then. Do you know whether bnetd is still running on your system now? | 11:36 |
| kk_ubuntu | ActionParsnip: i think there is some thing wrong with the sound settings | 11:36 |
| BonezAU | soundray: no I killed the process earlier, i just checked again and it is not running | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kk_ubuntu: then off you go to check, use websearches too | 11:36 |
| frogscott1 | trying to install flash for firefox bit of help? | 11:37 |
| BonezAU | frogscott1: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 11:37 |
| === ^Someone|Away^ is now known as ^Someone^ | ||
| soundray | BonezAU: in that case, I would 'sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/bnetd.prerm' and insert 'exit 0' as the second line. After that, apt-get remove should succeed | 11:38 |
| frogscott1 | thanks one sec let me try | 11:38 |
| Syntux | Good day, is there a list of packages in ubuntu CD ? just packages included in the cd? | 11:38 |
| BonezAU | soundray: yes that worked! | 11:38 |
| soundray | BonezAU: it's a bug in the prerm script. You might want to report it on launchpad | 11:39 |
| BonezAU | soundray: thank you, I will do | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Syntux: cd /media/cdrom0; find -name *.deb | 11:39 |

| soundray | ActionParsnip: nice one. But he asked for help installing flash in firefox originally | 11:44 |
| gustavo | ale, did you try with that new option called Restricted Drivers? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: haha :) | 11:44 |
| gustavo | in System / Administration | 11:44 |
| * soundray wants a cup of coffee | 11:44 | |
| frogscott1 | its there tanks | 11:45 |
| ale22944 | gustavo: unfortunately in Hardy yhe restricted driver for Intel 3945 ABG is not available | 11:46 |
| ale22944 | :( | 11:46 |
| frogscott1 | so now I am trying to run flock on Ubuntu and it seems to be opening but never does | 11:46 |
| * ActionParsnip has tea :) | 11:46 | |
| soundray | ale22944: please enable backports and try linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic | 11:47 |

| ubottu | ale22944, please see my private message | 11:47 |
| soundray | frogscott1: what's flock -- clustering? | 11:48 |
| tonohono | ale22944: Try an lsmod | grep 3945. Is ipw3945 loaded? What about iwl3945? | 11:48 |
| frogscott1 | flock is a browser which uses mozilla as its base | 11:48 |
| frogscott1 | so its the same as mozilla just tweaked and it runs on Ubuntu | 11:49 |
| hackintosh411 | Hey guys. | 11:49 |

| frogscott1 | no it isnt but I can show u how I installed it | 11:50 |

| hackintosh411 | Yes. | 11:50 |
| frogscott1 | or didnt install it rather | 11:50 |

| === andre is now known as Rotlaus | ||
| ActionParsnip | hackintosh411: edit outh the eth0 lines in /etc/network/interfaces, you'll need gksu | 11:50 |
| soundray | hackintosh411: they shouldn't interfere, actually | 11:51 |
| Rotlaus | How do i check a harddisk for bad sectors? | 11:51 |
| hackintosh411 | What is the code for gksu. | 11:51 |
| hackintosh411 | Im a noob at ubuntu. | 11:51 |
| soundray | hackintosh411: what's your wireless chipset? | 11:51 |
| hackintosh411 | Broadcom | 11:51 |
| soundray | hackintosh411: stick with me for now, please | 11:51 |
| soundray | hackintosh411: disabling eth0 won't help | 11:52 |
| hackintosh411 | What will? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hackintosh411: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old; gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hackintosh411: soundrayis right but if you wanna disable it you can | 11:52 |

| * soundray is unfamiliar with that expression... | 11:53 | |
| frogscott1 | the penny dropped | 11:54 |
| hackintosh411 | Anyone? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !record | 11:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about record | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !find record | 11:54 |
| soundray | Rotlaus: modern hard disks manage their own bad sectors. You can install smartmontools for some HD testing utilities | 11:54 |
| ubottu | Found: libxcb-record0, libxcb-record0-dbg, libxcb-record0-dev, wodim, x11proto-record-dev (and 15 others) | 11:54 |
| hackintosh411 | Im pretty sure my wireless will disable in a couple of mins. | 11:54 |
| soundray | frogscott1: there is no need to pm me orders | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vallhalla81: tried audacity? | 11:55 |

| Abracadabra | What does && stand for in Linux ? | 11:55 |
| vallhalla81 | ActionParsnip: i will check it out thank you | 11:55 |
| soundray | hackintosh411: can you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see if anything is logged when it fails? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Abracadabra: only continue if previous step succeeds | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vallhalla81: check config too | 11:56 |
| askand | Take a look at this link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/enable-smooth-fonts-on-ubuntu-linux/ Is there still a need for this or do you get the same out of the GUI-fonts dialog? | 11:56 |
| vallhalla81 | ActionParsnip: i am not sure what my config should be | 11:56 |
| Abracadabra | so, someone wrote this command.....&& rm -rf (remove -recursive, -f no prompting) | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | vallhalla81: make sure the audio devices used by the apps are the one in your system | 11:57 |
| vallhalla81 | ActionParsnip: ah i see what you meen will do ty | 11:57 |
| frogscott1 | soundray any way u could look at that page and see if it will work? it takes all of 30 secs | 11:57 |

| narcarsiss | if your rounter is N- series and your reciver card eg. pc laptop are on 54mb b/g card it will disconnect you at diff times i had about 3min to fix it befor i got booted so if you do have a N-Series router go into the config of the router and set it to b/g only | 12:15 |
| dudeeee34 | I have linksys router | 12:15 |
| soundray | frogscott1: I said "see if any errors are shown". I did not say "paste stuff into the channel in violation of the code of conduct and against all common sense" | 12:15 |

| shingen | same commands | 12:30 |
| soundray | MaximB: what's the full command you've tried? | 12:30 |
| narcarsiss | so if i was to copy all these files to this dir after a format reinstall the sudo apt-get update or upgrade it should install them again or would i have to cd to backup dir then dpkg -i *.deb? | 12:31 |

| shisiho | ActionParsnip: how? | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | shisiho: if you run lspci you will see what your wired connection is. technicaly the live cd is no different to the installed | 13:21 |
| soundray | Massiv0r: okay, so 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and let it do its thing. | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | shisiho: cd ~/; ls -a | 13:21 |
| Massiv0r | soundray: ok i fixed it | 13:21 |

| negge | Pici: I did that | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | miki: you need to modify /etc/fstab with root access and reboot, the ntfs partition isnt writable so you are viewing only the temporary storage of stuff | 13:31 |

| Cripps | I was at work yesterday, listening to some tunes on Amarok, and this morning when I came in and fired up amarok and hit play, I got "Audio output unavailable; the device is busy." ... I tried running "/etc/init.d/alasa-utils restart" and I continue to get the same message. Firefox has been restarted since then, so I know that it's not hogging the sound server. Any ideas as to how I can find the culprit and/or prevent this from happening? | 13:41 |

| Gillpy | _numbers_: iptables | 14:16 |
| Slart | !firewall | _numbers_ | 14:17 |
| Gillpy | _numbers_: what else is there? | 14:17 |
| ubottu | _numbers_: 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). | 14:17 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:17 |

| Slart | nosklo: you can set apache to only run a limited amount of processes and increase that if it's actually working.. if you don't find how to only start it when you want to that might be one solution | 14:21 |
| icedwater | sushiX: don't consider my words as lore, but I've heard of custom Ubuntu distributions for the Eee. | 14:21 |

| ubottu | Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 14:21 |
| icedwater | Slart: regarding apache, is there any way to reduce the number of processes it starts? | 14:22 |
| Gnea | !hi | Cheery | 14:22 |
| ubottu | Cheery: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:22 |
| Cheery | hey, I'd like to know what differences there are on the server edition and desktop edition? | 14:22 |
| robelliott2125 | dmizer, i think i'm just going to do a clean reinstall, but going for Hardy directly, rather than going for gutsy | 14:22 |
| Slart | icedwater: yes.. in the config file you can set number of processes and threads | 14:22 |
| damien | whats good software for ubuntu for burning dvd movies , | 14:22 |
| damien | ?? | 14:22 |
| dmizer | robelliott2125: unfortunately ... it looks like that's your best option. | 14:22 |
| Slart | !burn | damien | 14:22 |
| ubottu | damien: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 14:22 |
| nosklo | Slart: The problem is that I wont be using apache for days, and it will be consuming memory and boot time, so I want just not to start it ever. | 14:22 |
| Slart | damien: or you mean converting regular avi's and such to dvd's? in that case use Devede | 14:22 |
| robelliott2125 | Yeah, probably the easiest... I just hope that I haven't lost my /home files :( | 14:22 |
| rtp34783 | Cheery: different package selection. the server version installs no X window system for example. | 14:23 |
| soundray | Cheery: the server edition has no GUI. If you're unsure, get the desktop. There is nothing that server can do that desktop can't. | 14:23 |
| dmizer | robelliott2125: are they on a separate partition? | 14:23 |
| _Zeus_ | Slart: try !burn > damien | 14:23 |
| robelliott2125 | Yes dmizer... | 14:23 |
| Valentine | yes Modem and Phone GPRS. dial up but i am a simple user i cant understand what they say its all commands :( | 14:23 |
| robelliott2125 | I'm just wondering if i should try Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu. | 14:23 |
| Gnea | Valentine: then you'll need to explain your problem a bit more. | 14:23 |
| dmizer | robelliott2125: then you shouldn't lose any data as long as you don't overwrite the /home partition. | 14:23 |
| Slart | nosklo: I'm not sure if you'll actually notice apache if you limit it... but you can always stop it with "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop" | 14:23 |

| Gnea | Valentine: You will need to tell me what you've tried so far, with some detail please. | 14:27 |
| Valentine | @wols what are those? | 14:28 |

| renato__ | hi, I have a problem, my boostra procedure aborts because rc-default tells me it cannot find /bin/sh. previously the error was "access denied" and I did boot from the live cd and changed the permission from rw-r--r-- to rwxrwxrwx is there something else / different I need to do? | 14:32 |
| histo | !usernames | damien | 14:32 |
| ubottu | damien: Please prefix what you're saying with a name to avoid confusion. See !tab | 14:32 |
| wols_ | renato__: did you chroot when you booted from live cd? | 14:32 |
| renato__ | no | 14:32 |
| unop | renato__, is /bin in the PATH variable? | 14:32 |
| wols_ | renato__: then you#d change live cd settings and not your disk ones | 14:32 |
| Valentine | hello another problem i dont have sounds in my ubuntu | 14:32 |
| renato__ | I could not cheroot as I had no access to /bin/sh and neither /bin/bash | 14:32 |
| histo | !sound > Valentine | 14:33 |
| ubottu | Valentine, please see my private message | 14:33 |
| gr3y5t0ne | hi | 14:33 |
| _Zeus_ | hi | 14:33 |
| renato__ | no, I did mount the hd filesystem and made sure I changed the version on the hd | 14:33 |
| wols_ | renato__: rc-update only changes /etc. and that is on the live cd | 14:33 |
| renato__ | and indeed something changed, previously I was told "permission denied" and now "it is not there" | 14:33 |
| wols_ | renato__: "mount" | 14:33 |
| renato__ | let me explain again: | 14:34 |
| ce_jomblo_17 | Ana | 14:34 |
| Valentine | yes there were auto auto i selected Alsa | 14:34 |
| wols_ | renato__: well? | 14:35 |
| hb | is it possible to configure grub to load a root that is not on hd(0,0) in 8.04.1? | 14:36 |
| _Zeus_ | hb: yes | 14:36 |
| wols_ | hb: of course | 14:36 |
| renato__ | I had a system, prevuiously working. One day I realize I cannot access it. I get to the system, I try to reboot it. it does not, it tells me it cannot execute/bin/sh. I see the /bin/sh priviledges (the one on the HD I have mounted in the meantime) they are rw-r--r--, I changed them in rwxrwxrwx then I try to reboot and I am told the /bin/sh file does not exist (but it is there) so I am left wondering what to do | 14:36 |
| hb | well then I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong then. | 14:36 |
| _Zeus_ | i believe you need to use the "map" command in GRUB | 14:36 |
| hb | map? | 14:36 |
| _Zeus_ | lemme find a guide | 14:36 |
| wols_ | renato__: /bin/sh is only a symlink. check the file it maps to. and ask yourself why your permissions are all wrong | 14:37 |
| wols_ | renato__: setting perms to 777 for binaries is a very bad thing to do. use 755 and check owners too | 14:37 |
| wols_ | _Zeus_: no you don't | 14:37 |
| hb | menu.lst has the drives listed correct. hell the root is listed by uuid. but grub refuses to boot off of anything but /dev/sda. sda is not my boot device, infact it's a disk in a softRAID0 | 14:37 |
| wols_ | hb: what do you want to mount from that other hd? | 14:37 |
| renato__ | I put them like they are in my desktop system, and they were rwxrwxrwx owner root:root, I set them the same way | 14:38 |
| wols_ | hb: is your kernel on a raid? | 14:38 |
| _Zeus_ | wols_: he wants to boot to the other hard drive | 14:38 |
| wols_ | _Zeus_: and map is not the way to do it | 14:38 |
| wols_ | setting the proper hdx,x command is | 14:38 |
| hb | wols_: I'm using the general kernel supplied in the 8.04.1 alternate image. because it has support of the md and device mapper drivers I can only assume that's a yes. | 14:38 |
| wols_ | hb: your grub is not the kernel. so support for md in the kernel is irrelevant | 14:39 |
| hb | wols_, sorry i read your question wrong | 14:39 |
| wols_ | grub is needed to actually load the kernel. answer my question | 14:39 |
| wols_ | hb: also, pastebin your menu.lst | 14:39 |
| hb | wols_, no the kernel is not on the raid, the kernel is on ide1 (but being identified as /dev/sdc) | 14:40 |
| cppmonkey | soundray I did all that and its still not letting me in, the username is right and I typed the password out exactly the same, it still wont let me login :@ | 14:40 |
| wols_ | cppmonkey: ctrl+alt+f1 and try to login there. check your capslock and numlock keys | 14:40 |
| hb | wols_, that's not gonna be possible atm. the system hasn't gotten out of the install setup. unless I load the kernel on /dev/sda (with the drives out of rad) it won't even boot. it just returns error 15 | 14:40 |
| wols_ | you have a livecd. so you can pastebin the content of menu.lst | 14:41 |
| hb | wols_, how? | 14:41 |
| cens0red | hi. Ubuntu 8.04, + jack sound server + tascam us-122 audio interface causes my system to freeze completely. Didn't used to. Anyone have any idea how I can diagnose this problem? | 14:41 |
| wols_ | you don't need to boot from the machine to get the menu.lst | 14:41 |
| wangor | sorry, i've just reinstalled ati drivers to the nvidia-glx-new and my screen goes blank after I reboot and I can't do anything (i'm on alt+f1 now) - how can I get back to old drivers ? | 14:41 |
| cppmonkey | wols, both are off, I do have capitals in the password but I use shift. Ill just give the ctrl+alt+f1 now | 14:41 |
| wols_ | if your /boot is not in raid, simply mount the partition | 14:41 |
| wols_ | then check grub/menu.lst | 14:42 |
| hb | wols_, I know how to read the men.lst. that's not the problem | 14:42 |
| wols_ | wangor: reinstall them | 14:42 |
| wols_ | hb: it is if it says hd0,0 | 14:42 |
| hb | it does say 0,0 | 14:42 |
| cygoku | !html | cygoku | 14:43 |
| ubottu | cygoku, please see my private message | 14:43 |
| wols_ | hb: speak to me again when you can do what I asked you. goodbye | 14:43 |
| hb | but even with /dev/sdc idented as root(hd2,0) it still wont boot. | 14:43 |
| jordi_ | hola | 14:43 |
| wols_ | hb: device.map too of course | 14:43 |
| cppmonkey | wols_, still now joy :s | 14:43 |
| hb | I didn't think of the map... | 14:44 |
| wols_ | cppmonkey: error messages? | 14:44 |
| hb | however, if that doesn't work, how do I pastebin from the installcd? just copy line by line? that seems error prone. | 14:44 |
| wols_ | install pastebinit | 14:44 |
| wols_ | and the live cd has a full X | 14:44 |
| hb | wols_ not the alternate. the standard ed. doesn't have a kernel with the md driver | 14:45 |
| wols_ | for the last time: you said your /boot was not on a raid | 14:45 |
| hb | It's not. | 14:46 |
| wols_ | do it. THEN come back. | 14:46 |

| unop | babo, please don't swear here. thanks | 14:48 |
| dorito | but isnt there any other alternatives? | 14:48 |
| _Zeus_ | allu1: go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager | 14:48 |
| unop | allu1, how are you launching synaptic? | 14:48 |
| babo | dorito, having said that though, i can play flash files just fine ( most of the time ) | 14:49 |
| GuySoft | hi all, is there something in ubuntu like alunn for arch linux? | 14:49 |
| allu1 | unop:from desktop | 14:49 |
| wols_ | dorito: gnash, swfdec | 14:49 |
| babo | dorito: plugins tend to make FF unstable as well ... | 14:49 |
| dorito | I feel like kicking the *beep* out of my computer | 14:49 |
| Pici | GuySoft: What does alunn do? | 14:49 |
| dorito | when it happens | 14:49 |
| babo | dorito: try to disable some of the plugins, see if that improves. then ask in #ubuntu I'd say ... | 14:49 |
| babo | good luck with it | 14:49 |
| dorito | we are in #ubuntu | 14:50 |
| dorito | hello? lol | 14:50 |
| GuySoft | Pici, it gives out updates and news on arch. it uses the update notification | 14:50 |
| Pici | GuySoft: Like an rss reader? | 14:50 |
| milan | who sexy girl | 14:50 |
| unop | allu1, does that mean you are using the menu? System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager or do you have a launcher on the desktop? | 14:50 |
| unop | !ot | milan | 14:51 |
| ubottu | milan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:51 |
| allu1 | unop:launcher | 14:51 |
| Banger1 | How do I add gnome virtual desktops? | 14:51 |
| GuySoft | Pici, yes, but it gives the update on the systray. it looks like ubuntu has something like this: http://www.nedrebo.org/code/alunn/ | 14:51 |
| Banger1 | ubuntu comes with 2, i want 4 | 14:51 |
| dorito | wols_ gnash AND swfdec or just one of them? | 14:51 |
| _Zeus_ | Banger1: are you using compiz? | 14:51 |
| Banger1 | Yes | 14:51 |
| milan | number | 14:51 |
| erUSUL | Banger1: right click on the workspace switcher | 14:51 |
| _Zeus_ | do you have ccsm installed? | 14:51 |
| GuySoft | Pici, the screenshotes will give you the idea.. | 14:51 |
| wols_ | one of them | 14:51 |
| unop | allu1, you must configure the launcher to use this command. gksudo synaptic | 14:52 |
| emorris | is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup? | 14:52 |
| AzizLight | is there a way to make a specific starttup program launch automatically before all the other startup programs please? | 14:52 |

| Stargazers^ | Hi. Any ideas, how I can add backends for empathy? | 14:52 |
| Banger1 | I deleted the workspace switcher panel (for AWN) | 14:52 |
| Stargazers^ | It just says that I have to install them before I can add accounts. | 14:52 |
| babo | Apple have their own binary format for transferring files by email. Man, apple suck | 14:52 |
| _Zeus_ | you can add it back, or use ccsm | 14:52 |
| Stargazers^ | But I have no any idea how to install them? | 14:52 |
| Stargazers^ | In Hardy Heron. | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | _Zeus_: well maybe it has to be done twice one for the workspace switcher and one for compiz | 14:52 |
| Pici | GuySoft: Well, theres the update manager, that will automatically show up when you updates available, but there really isnt anywhere to pull the news from. | 14:52 |
| Stargazers^ | I just need MSN. | 14:52 |
| _Zeus_ | erUSUL: nope | 14:52 |
| allu1 | unop:how do i do that i was advised last time to do so and it helped (this time i frogot it 9 but now it was same agen | 14:52 |
| _Zeus_ | don't think so | 14:52 |
| GuySoft | Pici, my company has an ubuntu based distro. we will have where to pull the updates from.. the updates is what interests me | 14:53 |
| unop | allu1, the same way you create lauchers .. just make sure the command says gksudo synaptic | 14:54 |
| Stargazers^ | Anyone? | 14:54 |
| Stargazers^ | Installed Empahty? | 14:54 |
| babo | guys, I need to open a AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file on Linux. Can anyone help pls ? | 14:54 |
| Pici | GuySoft: I think you'd have to do some hacking about in that code to get it to work with apt/udpate manager, I'm not aware of a included app that has that sort of tooltip | 14:55 |
| DjVMint | Stargazers^: open synaptic | 14:55 |

| Stargazers^ | I mean, voip? | 14:56 |
| Stargazers^ | If not, then I don't need empathy anyway. | 14:56 |
| DjVMint | tried amsn? | 14:56 |
| GuySoft | Pici, but i guess if you dont know of anything that does that.. ill have to modify that app.. i found it trying to build what i just described you.. i was looking for some dbus call | 14:56 |

| perillux | _Zeus_: that's what everyone tells me, but it doesn't work for me | 15:16 |
| perillux | Slart: ok I'll try that | 15:16 |
| xnixmt | Gnea: sorry, I just wanted the task-switcher to switch between applications rather than windows....I.E if pidgin has multiple windows open, can I just have one item for pidgin in the task-switcher | 15:16 |
| Altreus-work | "The focus in the window shuold be on the output of commands, not on the prompt" <- which idiot wrote this? | 15:16 |
| _Zeus_ | perillux: or press Ctrl+D | 15:16 |
| xnixmt | Gnea: like a different task switcher that has a different behavior on how it handles windows/applications | 15:16 |
| perillux | Slart: ok that did it thanks!! I was clicking the close button, and that would cause gedit to close with it | 15:16 |
| Altreus-work | How am I meant to focus on the output of a command if I can't find the prompt where I typed it? | 15:16 |
| Slart | Altreus-work: well.. where did you find it? | 15:16 |
| Altreus-work | Slart: in .bashrc | 15:17 |

| _Zeus_ | perillux: cool | 15:17 |
| eQ | what is the difference between gDesklets and aDesklets? | 15:17 |
| emorris | beam: fair enough, if you have a static ip address and you are connected straight to the internet, then it's as easy as buying a domain name and pointing it to your ip address. | 15:17 |
| Altreus-work | It advocates having a prompt that's invisible in the wall of text you get from commands | 15:17 |
| beam | emorris: ok thanks | 15:18 |
| eQ | beam you would still probably need to get reverse dns permission from your isp | 15:18 |
| Rohs | Im trying to get android sdk working but all i get is | 15:18 |
| eQ | which they most likely wont give u | 15:18 |
| Rohs | Android Editors (0.7.1.v200808141910-98467) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui". | 15:18 |
| Slart | Altreus-work: well.. I suppose the output from the commands is what you're normally interested in.. not where the cursor might be at the moment | 15:18 |
| perillux | amenado: _Zeus_: Slart: another question. Is there a way to make a program switch it's terminal 'dependency'? So like say I'm getting output from a program in a certain terminal, can I open another terminal and make that app sort of switch to the other one without having to restart it? | 15:18 |
| amenado | eQ then how'd he get around that? | 15:18 |
| eQ | u dont get around that | 15:18 |
| beam | eQ: and how do i do that? | 15:18 |
| Altreus-work | Slart: But I'm actually interested in where the output *starts* | 15:19 |
| eQ | u can point a domain to your ip address through an a record | 15:19 |
| Altreus-work | Which is at the big bright blue hostname somewhere up there | 15:19 |
| emorris | is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup? | 15:19 |
| Slart | perillux: hmm.. not sure if there is a command to do that.. but try running "screen".. it's useful in so many ways | 15:19 |
| eQ | u will have to use an open nameserver like dnsexit.com | 15:19 |
| amenado | perillux-> you can not once the process is started | 15:19 |
| eQ | or u can use dynamic ip sites that forward to your dynamic ip | 15:19 |
| Slart | Altreus-work: but the prompt will be where any text you type will end up | 15:19 |
| eQ | no matter what u cant be your own host without reverse dns | 15:19 |
| Slart | Altreus-work: or are we talking about the same thing? | 15:19 |
| perillux | amenado: ok thanx | 15:19 |
| eQ | and i doubt he will run a nameserver from home | 15:19 |
| SeaPhor | amenado, if i wanted to run a script, a program at start-up, would i add that to the rc.local file? | 15:19 |
| Altreus-work | Slart: yes... but I want a coloured prompt to find the *previous* prompt | 15:19 |
| eQ | it just doesnt work like that unless u have a decent connection and reverse dns | 15:20 |
| amenado | SeaPhor-> thats one way | 15:20 |
| Slart | Altreus-work: ah.. I see what you mean | 15:20 |
| Altreus-work | Slart: e.g. apt-cache search apache | 15:20 |
| wickk | Whenever I go to watch a dvd in VLC it opens opens up like its going to play and then it minimizes the player and wont allow me to eject the disc after that. Anyone know why? | 15:20 |
| bullgard4 | Pici: I wrote an e-mail to the site's maintainer as you suggested. | 15:20 |
| Altreus-work | I guess piping it to less is one way | 15:20 |
| eQ | QUESTION: what is the difference between gDesklets and aDesklets? | 15:20 |
| amenado | eQ so how does one gets around that reverse dns? | 15:20 |
| Altreus-work | but sometimes I expect less output than I get | 15:20 |
| eQ | they dont get around it | 15:21 |
| Altreus-work | also, pipe to less doesn't catch stderr | 15:21 |
| Slart | Altreus-work: it doesn't really bother me usually.. I think I do a "clear" if I find I'm getting lost | 15:21 |
| SeaPhor | amenado, thats the only way i could think of, is there a better way? | 15:21 |
| Altreus-work | I find that in gnome-terminal, clear merely scrolls down a long way | 15:21 |
| GleepGlop | how do I add extent flag to a file ? | 15:21 |
| eQ | Altreus-work, that's cuz it hopes the text will be out your buffer by then | 15:21 |
| eQ | type it a few more times and it will | 15:21 |
| unop | Altreus-work, it's the same for a lot of terminal emulatorys | 15:21 |
| unop | s/y// | 15:21 |
| GleepGlop | !extent | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about extent | 15:22 |
| eQ | u can change your buffer to a lesser amount of lines | 15:22 |
| eQ | !sex | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) | 15:22 |
| eQ | oops | 15:22 |
| amenado | SeaPhor-> add to an existing script in /etc/init.d perhaps | 15:22 |
| * unop thinks he has a one-track mind. | 15:22 | |
| SeaPhor | ok, thanx again amenado | 15:22 |
| amenado | SeaPhor-> you're welcome | 15:22 |
| Altreus-work | yea but it ain't | 15:23 |
| relinker | Gnea: read the doc. I get a "permission denied" when I try to echo "ondemand" into scaling_governor. Yes I have setbit on cpufreq as the doc suggested. What could be wrong? | 15:23 |
| Altreus-work | In fact I'd probably only use clear in that situation where I want it out of the buffer but it won't go | 15:23 |

| MikeB2 | yes, its a shipped cd from the developers, not an iso | 15:24 |
| daan_ | you could try using the iso from the ubuntu website | 15:24 |
| relinker | Gea: I prefixed the echo > with a sudo. Is that not enough to become root? | 15:25 |
| daan_ | or just be a little more patient ;) | 15:25 |
| MikeB2 | well the install has taken over 3 hours so far, im not going to interrupt it, just wondering if this is a typical issue | 15:25 |

| xukun | Hi all. I got a new system with raid controller. I want to install ubuntu 64 bits. I got the cd but don't know where to start | 15:25 |
| Gnea | relinker: yeah, that should do it... check the permissions of the file and the directories it's in | 15:25 |
| daan_ | is it a clean install or a dual boot? | 15:25 |
| unop | relinker, that wouldn't work .. try. echo blah | sudo tee /path/to/file | 15:25 |
| MikeB2 | dual boot | 15:26 |
| eQ | Mike i'd advise u get the iso | 15:26 |
| unop | relinker, or tee -a if you want to append to the file | 15:26 |
| daan_ | with? XP or vista? | 15:26 |

| relinker | OK. The perms on the scaling_governor is 444 | 15:26 |
| jst33zey | lol | 15:27 |
| daan_ | hmm might be the fact that there's another OS on the HD.. I think just being patient will do the job | 15:27 |
| MikeB2 | should i burn the 8.04 iso? someone told me gutsy is a little more tolerant to hardware and is easier to install | 15:27 |

| Diabolus | On the latest version of Ubuntu, i recently downloaded, everything is working fine except for the internet. I can't seem to get the settings right for it to work. i go system -> admin -> network. then setup a wired static ip address which i know is right due to this windows working fine, DNS is entered, am i missing something? everything is ticked and enabled | 16:18 |
| Slart | Diabolus: you might have to set a gateway too.. not sure if ubuntu does it for you in some way | 16:19 |
| phire42 | wols - I disable it, and just lose my internet connection entirely. Is there some other settings I need to set up first? | 16:19 |

| Diabolus | anyway to reset the network from terminal, as in reboot it? | 16:20 |
| Thurston | i was wondering..... shoul di use the open source drivers, or the proprietary | 16:21 |
| Slart | Diabolus: you can always try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 16:21 |
| Thurston | couse with ati's drivers, compiz-fusion with totally F up my pc, and i found this might be becuase ati's drivers are so old | 16:21 |
| TJ-Linux | if the open source drivers work, but not the proprietary, it seems like you only have one choice? | 16:21 |
| coonlokht_ | server irc.undernet.org | 16:21 |
| Adakos | Now, im wondering if there is a way to change the host/domain from Name.ISP.net to Name.Registered-Ip.Net (when the Registered-Ip.Net) points to the Ip address already | 16:21 |
| Thurston | true | 16:21 |
| Slart | Thurston: depends on what card it is.. older ati cards have really good open source drivers.. | 16:21 |
| Thurston | yeah, thats what im thinking about doing | 16:21 |
| Thurston | hmmm | 16:22 |
| Diabolus | right i will try that, thanks for listening | 16:22 |

| vaportrail123 | :( rockbox dont work for ipod touch | 16:31 |
| Adakos | neoline: to keep your software, you will need to make a partition/get an external Hard drive, backup with cd/dvd any data you dont want lost during the format to ext3 | 16:31 |
| Valentine1 | u all people seems to eat micro chips :-s | 16:31 |
| Neoline | Hahaha.. 1st advantage is coolest! :D well the 2nd one is what i was wanting to hear. :) | 16:31 |
| Slart | MrPiracy: well.. lots of errors there.. don't know if any of them are fatal though | 16:32 |
| Slart | MrPiracy: it might be because you already have pulseaudio running though | 16:32 |
| kcman | what types of emulation are open for ubuntu? | 16:32 |

| Slart | MrPiracy: in pavucontrol.. or pulseaudio will use all your soundcards.. but you can set one of them to be the default for output | 16:33 |

| lbt | I want to blat it totally | 16:37 |
| lbt | :) | 16:37 |
| Slart | lbt: I'm not sure if wubi can do a stand alone install though.. give it a try though.. see if there are any options | 16:37 |
| lbt | (at least that's what I read on that page) | 16:37 |
| bazhang | unetbootin | 16:37 |
| lbt | WTH - OK | 16:37 |
| Slart | lbt: it's the only windows installer around, afaik | 16:37 |
| captainm_ | lbt: there are other ways of installing ubuntu without burning a cd, nut not from within windows I think | 16:38 |
| chipbuddy | wheni install things through synaptic (for example nethack), where is that stored? i'm trying to transfer it to an APTonCD CD, but i don't know where to find the package | 16:38 |

| robelliott2125 | not me vaportrail123... Going to trawl through the forums for my problems i think... Lot of people needing help here :P | 17:33 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, yes | 17:33 |

| ubottu | F1sher: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 17:33 |
| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; you have the ntfs drive mounted? | 17:34 |
| sasi | captainm_, i am very new to gnu/linux! | 17:34 |
| jkatana | I am very, very new to *IX, I am dualbooting with vista.

| Sobaka | Hello people. I am trying to install my Canon Pixma MP530 under hardy, but it doesn't work at all. It's a combination of printer and scanner device. Under lsusb it doesn't show up and when I connect the device and look in dmesg I see an error. I have pasted this error here: http://www.pastebin.ca/1178770 Can somebody help me to solve this? | 17:34 |
| vaportrail123 | yuk. vista. | 17:34 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, also I am using a 7.10 live cd because 8.04 wont boot | 17:34 |
| jkatana | I'm running ubuntu 8.04 | 17:34 |
| Adakos | f1sher: this is for ubuntu, ultimately, you should check out the linux mint forums. or as a quick answer, try installing the drivers using the built-in loader, or check hte chipset | 17:34 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, yes it is mounted | 17:34 |
| F1sher | bazhang, yes mint suppport pppoe but pppoe does not work on asus eee pc 900 | 17:34 |
| Pici | F1sher: But we do not support Mint here. Go to the channel aformentioned by ubottu. | 17:35 |
| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; in CLI you should be able to simply cd to the directory on your ntfs drive then cp file file /media/disk | 17:35 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, let me try it again perhaps using sudo and see what happens | 17:35 |
| archangel7863 | what is the name of the package to install the gnome-terminal on right click? I seem to have forgotten | 17:36 |
| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; where is the usb stick mounted? /media/disk/somethinghere? | 17:36 |

| fsufitch | hey guys i'm having a problem with my firefox. it just won't start up. the process is running, there are no error messages or anything, even when run from a shell. i purged it and installed it again, and deleted my .mozilla folder, and still nothing. anyone have any idea? | 17:37 |
| bu | can anyone tell me how to solve a virtualbox problem | 17:37 |
| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; right, you're not the owner of the ntfs drive while being in the liveCD. sudo should be the answer. i'm guessing you got a permission denied | 17:37 |
| Adakos | lesshaste: convert it to a usable format , iirc uif is a CD image, find a converstion tool to change it into an iso and then you can mount it or burn it | 17:37 |
| lesshaste | Adakos, ok... now to find such a tool :0 | 17:37 |
| captainm_ | bu: what's the problem? | 17:37 |
| robelliott2125 | fsufitch, try opening console and typing "firefox" this may / not work for you | 17:37 |
| Adakos | lesshaste: a quick search on the ubuntu forums suggests wine with magic iso installed | 17:38 |
| bu | help please | 17:38 |
| fsufitch | robelliott2125, i did try running it like that, but no success | 17:38 |
| robelliott2125 | Someone may advise of something better fsufitch | 17:38 |
| captainm_ | !ask | bu | 17:38 |
| fsufitch | robelliott2125, ookay | 17:38 |
| ubottu | bu: 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. :-) | 17:38 |
| lesshaste | Adakos, aha.. I'll see what i can do | 17:38 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, i am getting a cannot create regular file read-only file system | 17:38 |
| Adakos | lesshaste: also check out showthread 482960 | 17:38 |
| mneptok | fsufitch: sudo killall firefox && sudo killall firefox-bin && firefox | 17:38 |
| archangel7863 | what is the name of the package to install the gnome-terminal so that it shows on right click? I seem to have forgotten | 17:39 |
| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; okay, back to seeing what the usb stick is mounted as ls -al /media/ what are the permissions of the /disk? | 17:39 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, the usb is /media/disk and the ntfs drive is /media/disk-1 | 17:39 |
| lesshaste | Adakos, is that a link on a ubuntu forum? | 17:39 |
| Adakos | lesshaste: yes, ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482960 | 17:40 |
| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; the usb appears to be mounted readonly since all you need is read from the ntfs drive | 17:40 |

| bastid_raZor | IdleOne; err sudo chmod +w /media/disk | 17:42 |
| Adakos | co0lingFir3: my suggestion would be to try avidemux | 17:42 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, chmod: changing permissions od '/media/disk': Read-only file system | 17:42 |
| captainm_ | bu: you could try to modprobe the vboxdrv module | 17:42 |
| mneptok | IdleOne: sounds like the disk was mounted with the ro flag. remount with write enabled. | 17:42 |
| Adakos | Idle0ne: Install ntfs drivers ? | 17:43 |
| Adakos | Idle0ne: ntfs-3g iirc. | 17:43 |
| IdleOne | bastid_raZor, same out put as +x | 17:43 |
| IdleOne | mneptok, how do i do that? | 17:43 |
| bu | captainm_, how i do that | 17:43 |
| co0lingFir3 | Adakos, install avidemux and then? | 17:43 |
| mneptok | IdleOne: mount /dev/hda5 -t ntfs /mnt/d -o rw | 17:44 |
| captainm_ | bu: sudo modprobe vboxdrv | 17:44 |
| mneptok | IdleOne: (obviously switch the device and mount paths to suit your setup)Z | 17:44 |
| mneptok | -Z | 17:44 |
| Adakos | co0lingFire3: There should be a repair avi/transcode options. Worst case scenario just recode it as itself. If this seems like too much work, try VLC (videolan player) and click 'repair' when it asks | 17:44 |
| Jopie | is there a way to script Sudo with the password on the command line? | 17:44 |

| Jopie | well, right now, we don't care :) | 17:45 |
| bu | captainm_, system says FATAL: module vboxdrv not found | 17:45 |

| Sobaka | Mnertok: Yes I did. I have another ubuntu machine with also a Canon Pixma MP530, there I just have to connect it and ubuntu will detect it itself and recommend to use the driver for the 510, which works fine; Also in xsane it will work fine for scanning | 17:46 |

| mooseman447 | bastid_razor i noticed that on another system i have the x11-server-utils package installed but this troubled one doesnt even list it | 18:02 |

| jnwhiteh | I've just installed a new wireless card, and the driver is being picked up (i.e. it shows in lsmod). Unfortunately, the only devices showing in ifconfig are eth0 and lo0. | 18:16 |
| Ahadiel | j800r, Assuming you have no availible partitions, you need too shrink your Ubuntu partition, then use the Windows CD to install it on that free space. | 18:17 |

| plik | j800r: keeping your ubuntu partition is easy, but windows will overwrite the master boot record / grub, so you'll need to reinstall grub after - google knows how | 18:18 |

| soundray | techII: what video driver do you use? | 18:52 |
| onthefence928 | lesshaste: ok i'm gonna go back to tweaking it so it's a bit more noob-proof add some author info to the file and create a read-me, then i'll look up that GPL license stuff, i really just wanted to knmow if teher were any language-feature requirements | 18:53 |
| crlcan81 | it's a 82801/BAM AC'97 | 18:53 |
| lesshaste | onthefence928, no language feature requirements.. you just have to provide the source basically | 18:53 |
| pc04 | mmmmmmm | 18:53 |
| CarlFK | running xsane as user fails: "no devices available" sudo xsane works. so rights need to be tweeked. what needs to be set to what? | 18:53 |
| onthefence928 | lesshaste: cool, where do you think i should post it to make it available? | 18:53 |
| lesshaste | onthefence928, there are many licenses of course.. if you don't want to provide the source you can pick another one :) | 18:54 |
| lesshaste | onthefence928, on your web page? | 18:54 |
| onthefence928 | lesshaste: i'm all for open-source so i'll go open-source | 18:54 |

| techII | soundray, fglrx, it might have something to do with me using the fglrx-control package to output to a tv (going back into it, it only gives options for one monitor) | 18:54 |

| crlcan81 | so is it in the FAQ how to set up the sound thing? | 18:54 |
| lesshaste | estunecle, you need to kill gdm | 18:54 |

| Bobby | hello, i have a dell xps m1330.. how do i remove the harddrive killer bug? im using ubuntu hardy amd64 | 18:55 |
| lesshaste | Bobby, what is this bug? | 18:55 |
| CarlFK | soundray: not on the linux box. i plugged the scanner into a usb xp box, xp loaded the firmware, plugged into linux, ran xsane | 18:55 |
| Bobby | the load cylce count bug... | 18:55 |
| onthefence928 | lesshaste: i don't have a webpage or blog, never felt like keeping up a webpage and never felt i had anything to say that's interesting enough for a blog | 18:55 |
| soundray | pc04: yes, you said that before. Do you have a question? | 18:55 |
| Dein | anyone experienced with ion3? | 18:56 |
| crlcan81 | Cause ZSNES is the only program that's causing a problem. | 18:56 |

| lesshaste | onthefence928, sure | 18:56 |
| soundray | CarlFK: open System-Administration-Users and Groups and see if you are allowed to use the scanner. | 18:56 |
| crlcan81 | I've got a Gateway E3300 I believe it was last time I checked. | 18:57 |
| lesshaste | Bobby, I don't know it but maybe it's in the ubuntu forums? If so, please give me a link :) | 18:57 |

| godzirra | heya folks. | 18:57 |
| soundray | CarlFK: were you calling xsane from a terminal window? | 18:57 |

| soundray | CarlFK: run 'groups' in that window. Does it list "scanner"? | 18:58 |
| techII | soundray, it only lists one screen, but gives a resolution for a dual monitor setup (and kde4 panel fit itself on the visible side) | 18:58 |
| Bobby | lesshaste, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805570 | 18:59 |

| lesshaste | Bobby, you need to post in the forum I thijnk | 19:00 |
| chamunks | I edited my fstab to automatically mount some sata2 drives at boot time ones ntfs and ones reiserfs for some reason ubuntu doesent mount them by default anymore but my problem is how come they change names in /dev/ all the time now and after every few boots they no longer mount how do i solve this? | 19:00 |
| DrSlony | purpleback dont ask to ask, just ask. | 19:00 |
| soundray | techII: try 'xrandr --output default --auto' | 19:00 |
| Bobby | lesshaste, ok | 19:00 |
| purpleback | ok so um im on the newest version of ubuntu and it keeps telling me "package is on the software channel" what the hell is the software channel and where can i find it? | 19:00 |
| CarlFK | soundray: in case it helps: carl@dell29:~$ scanimage --list-devices = No scanners were identified.. sudo scanimage --list-devices = device `snapscan:libusb:004:002' is a Acer FlatbedScanner23 flatbed scanner | 19:01 |

| techII | soundray, thanks | 19:03 |
| crlcan81 | I'm on command line and know how to read the stuff. What's the command to check the entire computer's structure name, like Gateway or what not? | 19:03 |
| crlcan81 | I know it was listed as a Gateway E3300 | 19:03 |
| soundray | CarlFK: please try 'strace scanimage --list-devices'. It will produce loads of output, but towards the end it may identify which file or device it fails to open due to permission problems. | 19:04 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I'm selling a computer to my father - do I need to run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdaX in order to stop old data popping up? | 19:04 |

| Adakos | is there a way to apt-get install the lamp packages? | 19:06 |
| hibersh | octave is all right | 19:06 |
| Slart | !lamp | Adakos | 19:06 |
| ashpal | soundray, then what do u recommend | 19:06 |
| ubottu | Adakos: 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+) | 19:06 |
| deepfriedsquirre | soundray: Gnome kept popping up on Xubuntu and all sorts of weird things | 19:06 |
| soundray | ashpal: sorry, I know that's not helpful. You've paid big money for it, though, so you should ask the vendor to help you install it. | 19:06 |
| Adakos | thanks slart | 19:06 |
| purpleback | how do i get apt-get? | 19:06 |
| Slart | purpleback: it's installed by default | 19:07 |
| Adakos | purpleback: apt-get is installed by default | 19:07 |
| purpleback | how do i get to it? | 19:07 |
| Adakos | type apt-get | 19:07 |
| soundray | deepfriedsquirre: then you installed over the existing data without formatting | 19:07 |
| purpleback | where? >.> | 19:07 |
| Slart | purpleback: open a terminal, type apt-get | 19:07 |
| purpleback | the terminal? | 19:07 |
| purpleback | alrighty. | 19:07 |
| Adakos | purpleback: in your terminal | 19:07 |
| Slart | !terminal | purpleback | 19:07 |
| ubottu | purpleback: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:07 |

| soundray | crlcan81: please refrain from swearing in this channel. You've been warned before. | 19:07 |
| Slart | Brucee: just edit the file with "gksudo gedit /etc/hostname" instead.. much easier | 19:07 |
| deepfriedsquirre | soundray: No, I was careful not to. I heard that you have to make the partition a slightly different size or write to every sector last time I went here, which leads me to think him having one huge partition might sort it | 19:07 |
| techII | hmm, the kde4 panel does not like xrandr, will have to run it before anything starts... | 19:08 |
| Brucee | ok | 19:08 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Blerg, I might as well do it just in case he is an evil spy. | 19:08 |

| soundray | theshadow: enclose the command you want executed on the remote side in 'single quotes' | 19:09 |
| theshadow | yet ls /home/user/test works fine | 19:09 |
| Slart | theshadow: not sure "mv" is an actual program.. afaik it's a bash command.. so run bash with some switch to run the command line | 19:10 |

| theshadow | aha! | 19:10 |
| theshadow | soundray: ty | 19:10 |
| * Slart goes to play with ssh | 19:10 | |

| spective | I've upgraded an Edubuntu/LTSP install to Hardy, and now /tmp is now read-only, which is causing lots o' problems. /etc/rcS.d/S32ltsp-client-setup is supposed to add an entry to /etc/fstab to mount it as r/w, but /etc is already r/o and so it fails. Suggestions? :/ | 19:10 |
| theshadow | Ah! | 19:10 |
| Adakos | soundray: not to get into a metaphysical discussion here, but for the sake of equality, i feel invoking a group of dieities by the use of 'gods' ot be perfectly acceptable, in that case, as an exclamation of shock i.e. "good heavens! or Holy cow!" | 19:11 |

| soundray | ASULutzy: at the time, that wasn't there, so I just found out things the hard way. | 20:19 |
| ASULutzy | I figure that ought to be enough to handle a regular install and not have to use Xubuntu, but I'm open for advice | 20:19 |
| ASULutzy | soundray: Ah, well did you go with Ubuntu/Kubuntu or Xubuntu? | 20:19 |
| soundray | SebNaitsabes: 1GB default, but I upped it to two. | 20:19 |
| Jowi | minus198, gksudo network-admin is the easiest way | 20:19 |
| * SebNaitsabes wants to buy a small lap top that is good to take on holiday and around the house and stuff. was thinking Mac maybe, but so expensive and propritary. an EEPC on the other hand well Linux :) | 20:19 | |
| soundray | ASULutzy: plain Ubuntu | 20:19 |
| minus198 | Jowi: I'm not running a GUI, so non graphical stuff is the only thing I can run.. | 20:20 |
| ASULutzy | soundray: And the performance is decent for simple tasks like using open office, firefox, etc? | 20:20 |
| soundray | SebNaitsabes: I'm thinking that I should have waited for one with an Atom CPU | 20:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | soundray: good sounds like I could keep Xandros as the host if I want. and run other OS's in VM | 20:20 |

| ASULutzy | soundray: Yea, she was thinking about waiting for the 901, but it's considerably more expensive than the 900, and for single threaded tasks, the celeron should perform as well as the atom | 20:21 |

| Sorlag | good day, folks.. i just wanted to get my tv-card working. and i did.. but now ive a problem with xawtv -> its giving me a blackscreen and i cant do anything about it (expt ctrl +alt +F1).. can anyone help me? | 20:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | however why do you want to run it in Windows? | 20:21 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: no, really, it's not snappy as my dual-core workstation at work or my quad Mac Pro, but similar to my wife's Turion laptop. No swap space -- to be avoided with flash drives | 20:22 |
| wbreslin951 | cuz i dont want to wipe my hd and livedisk is too slow | 20:22 |
| ASULutzy | wbreslin951: What exactly are you asking? You could setup an Ubuntu virtual machine inside of Windows, or you could install it inside of a file in Windows using Wubi, though lots of people here wouldn't recommend that | 20:22 |
| ASULutzy | wbreslin951: You don't have to wipe your hard drive, you can just have gparted resize/create new partitions | 20:22 |
| wbreslin951 | asu whats the best way | 20:22 |
| wbreslin951 | asu i have a 60GB, not enough room for ubuntu and windows | 20:22 |
| Jowi | minus198, conf file is /etc/network/interfaces - man interfaces for description | 20:22 |
| wbreslin951 | especially with all my media files | 20:22 |
| TJ-Linux | wbreslin951, When I need to boot into windows, I like to use VMWare to run ubuntu | 20:22 |
| ASULutzy | soundray: Yea, makes sense on the swappiness, I was thinking the same | 20:22 |
| SebNaitsabes | wbreslin951: you can run it inside WIndows in a virtualmachine yes, but having WIndows as the host OS is usauly yuck. it should be the other weay round :) Ubuntu as the host Windows as the guest, unless you have a real good reason to have Windows as the hsot | 20:23 |
| ASULutzy | wbreslin951: Well then how do you expect using Wubi or a VM to work any better for you? | 20:23 |
| soundray | SebNaitsabes: the celeron CPU has no provision for virtualization, so it won't be particularly fast | 20:23 |
| mizipzor | my steam client cant connect to internet it seems, but nothing on the forums... is it just me? should i blame the linux envoirment? does anyone in here use steam that can tell me if their client can connect? | 20:23 |

| wbreslin951 | wait. what? lol | 20:23 |
| wbreslin951 | im lost | 20:23 |
| soundray | SebNaitsabes: if you want VMs, it would really make sense to wait for the dual-core Atom | 20:23 |
| SebNaitsabes | when will that be? | 20:24 |
| ASULutzy | wbreslin951: If you are concerned about not having enough space, how do you expect installing Ubuntu inside of Windows to help? It's still going to take up space | 20:24 |
| Pici | wbreslin951: If you want to use Wubi you still need some space available for the install. | 20:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | wbreslin951: don't use Wubi | 20:24 |
| soundray | SebNaitsabes: the CPU is a couple of months away I think. Not sure when they will appear in Eee PCs | 20:24 |
| wbreslin951 | asu i was thinking along the lines of booting like a livedisk but from the harddrive | 20:24 |
| wbreslin951 | cuz live disk is really slow | 20:24 |
| wbreslin951 | and if i boot from the hd it'll be alot faster | 20:25 |
| ashvee | install gyache in ubuntu | 20:25 |
| soundray | SebNaitsabes: recent CPUs have special features that help virtualization. Wikipedia has more info | 20:25 |
| wbreslin951 | and the biggest reason i don't want to get rid of windows is cuz i have a bcm card | 20:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | wbreslin951: yes you can run Linux Live CD's in virtual machine software | 20:25 |
| wbreslin951 | and that's my only way to get to internet | 20:25 |
| wbreslin951 | seb will it be faster than just booting from the disk? | 20:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | wbreslin951: you can run an ISO instead of using a CD | 20:25 |
| wbreslin951 | how would i do that? | 20:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | wbreslin951: you understand that a Live CD is an ISO yes? | 20:26 |
| wbreslin951 | yea | 20:26 |
| wbreslin951 | SebNaitsabes: so how would i run the iso through windows? | 20:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | wbreslin951: you can also do a small install of Ubuntu in virtual machine software that will expand | 20:26 |
| ASULutzy | wbreslin951: I don't understand why you don't just setup dualboot, setting up wireless on a broadcom card isn't all that hard. | 20:26 |

| amen51 | Gena, i want to send email from my yahoo email account using mutt + nbsmtp | 20:31 |
| paolo | Hi *. On 2 different machines with ubuntu installed, I have problem playing media within compiz, i.e. sometimes (but not always) it wouldn't play audio and when I try to play a movie, it would play only with the -nosound option | 20:31 |
| amen51 | Gena, but it does not seem to work | 20:31 |
| amen51 | !ask | 20:31 |
| third3ye | Now here's a question: Cedega or Wine? | 20:31 |
| 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. :-) | 20:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: depends on what program you want to run which is? | 20:32 |
| third3ye | Mostly multimedia programs and music production suites | 20:32 |
| evilbug | can kopete handle a/v chat with yahoo messenger? | 20:32 |
| third3ye | Like FLStudio and Propellerhead Reason | 20:32 |
| RandyboY | I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z here with a fresh Ubuntu(latest) install. The only nic that works is cabled network. "Hardware Drivers" Proprietary drivers are loaded. One for "Atheros Hardware Layer(HAL)" and one for "Support for Atheros 802,11 wireless LAN cards". But still i cant list my wireless nic. ifconfig -a lists only my cabled (ETH0) an lo (Loopback)... What could be wrong? | 20:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: well Cedega is a propritary software based on Wine for running games | 20:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: your question should have probably been, Codeweavers Crossover Linux or Wine? | 20:33 |
| third3ye | heh | 20:33 |
| evilbug | third3ye- stay with win/osx for audio production. | 20:33 |
| third3ye | Isn't Crossover office based? | 20:33 |
| third3ye | evilbug: I wish I could :) | 20:33 |
| dannyboy | wat option do i sue with "rpm" so dat it will install all dependencies? | 20:33 |
| TJ-Linux | How do I change what a fixed drive gets mounted as when I select it in Nautilus? It likes to name things like "drive1", which is entirely unintuitive... can I change the default somewhere? | 20:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: Codeweavers is a propritary software based on Wine, but it's offical | 20:33 |
| evilbug | third3ye- linux is not that great for it. | 20:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | unlike Cedega | 20:33 |
| third3ye | evilbug: I'm fully aware of that, thanks | 20:34 |
| evilbug | third3ye- i do audio production also. | 20:34 |
| {alejandro} | Okay can someone hold my hand through troubleshooting my wireless? The ubuntu docs aren't helpful | 20:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: Codeweavers costs a lot of money, and is rather user friendly | 20:34 |
| third3ye | My initial problem is this computer I'm on. It's the most powerfull computer but Windows XP install doesn't work on it because of certain S-ATA drivers are lacking | 20:34 |
| === gaintsura_ is now known as gaintsura | ||
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: for some things Codeweavers is better than Wine itself, but for most people WIne will be fine | 20:34 |
| ozpowermo | Hi all, does anybody have a workaround for installing gnome-desktop-environment? I get the following error when I try to install it: "gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"... any help please? It would be greatly appreciated! | 20:34 |
| third3ye | Not only that but I can't seem to find a single friggin driver for it, even from the official site | 20:34 |
| evilbug | third3ye- and stuff like wine/crossover won't work that well with the software either. | 20:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: and for the programs your wanting to run, well you may need a virtual machine of Windows inside LInux | 20:35 |
| {alejandro} | I am using a dell inspiron and the wireless worked out of the box and suddenly stopped working | 20:35 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: I was afraid of that | 20:35 |
| gaintsura | (appologies for the repeat, was disconnected) could anyone suggest a REALLY good backup system for linux/windows? preferably one that doesn't require a client/server setup or require the use of tapedrives | 20:35 |
| third3ye | But I still wanna try | 20:35 |
| godzirra | I just setup ubuntu on my laptop and it says its getting connected to the network, and it lets me ping the router, but when I type "route" it hangs and I can't actually get anywhere outside my network. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? | 20:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: there are ways to get a lot of stuff working, but for a lot of it, well it invovles messing around | 20:36 |
| third3ye | Because getting those drivers to insert into textmode XP install is friggin impossible | 20:36 |
| third3ye | I've googled the hell out of it | 20:36 |
| third3ye | Look, I'll even give you a chance to find the .inf | 20:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3eye: multimedia software you said, uhmmmmmmmm I think I can get hold of this link that will maybe be useful for you | 20:36 |
| ozpowermo | Hi everybody: I'm having a "little" problem with my gnome desktop! does anybody have a workaround for installing gnome-desktop-environment? I get the following error when I try to install it: "gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"... any help please? It would be greatly appreciated! | 20:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3eye: yep native Linux multimedia programs link | 20:36 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: It's nice ^^ But more unstable than Reason and Wine | 20:37 |
| hitman1985 | sup guys, i got sound all over but not in firefox / flash movies | 20:37 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3eye: ah ha about your XP that's a psyical though | 20:37 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3eye: virtual machines have the advantage of well you can pretty much choose what hardware they should emulate | 20:38 |
| hitman1985 | any suggestions | 20:38 |
| KaiForce | Anyone know what I need to do to fix this: gnome-keyring-daemon is giving me the following error: Failed to unlock login on startup | 20:38 |
| drubin | KaiForce: You change your login password, gnome? | 20:38 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3eye: also it can use the host OS for stuff | 20:38 |
| vdsy | KaiForce: /etc/group maybe? | 20:38 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3eye: so Ubuntu in this case | 20:38 |
| KaiForce | drubin: I think i used passwd to do that.... | 20:38 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: That kinda defeats the purpose of those computer :P | 20:39 |
| thurston | hi guys. does anyone here use Wine? | 20:39 |
| third3ye | You see, I got this computer after it had been in use at a friend of mine for well over a year | 20:39 |
| KaiForce | will that knock me out of sync with the keyring manager? | 20:39 |
| third3ye | I needed a faster computer to produce music with | 20:39 |
| third3ye | Problem is that if I emulate to much the whole advantage is removed | 20:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: well you can give most RAM to the VM and hardly any to Ubuntu and there you go :d | 20:39 |
| third3ye | And thus I am at square one | 20:39 |
| ozpowermo | Hi all, does anybody have a workaround for installing gnome-desktop-environment? I get the following error when I try to install it: "gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"... any help please? It would be greatly appreciated! Anybody? PLEASE? | 20:39 |
| third3ye | hmm | 20:39 |
| drubin | KaiForce: I had the same issue | 20:40 |
| NodeRazor | Which is more updated Ubuntu or Fedora? | 20:40 |
| drubin | KaiForce: ** continue** but it only happened after i changed my login details, but my one just asks for the password to unlock the keyring | 20:40 |
| vdsy | NodeRazor, arch is more updated than any of them hehe | 20:40 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: You make a persuasive argument | 20:41 |
| drubin | NodeRazor: I prefer Ubuntu, and yes they have the same release cycles now | 20:41 |
| KaiForce | i remember my old password, I'm going to try to reset the keyring password | 20:41 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: But are there any alternatives, or a alternative to VMWare? | 20:41 |
| hotspotCZ | Fedora has fucked up server infrastructure right now... | 20:41 |
| drubin | vdsy: the whole arch/ubuntu thing he he he next it is going to be Gnome vs KDE shh i didn't | 20:41 |
| NodeRazor | yeah, I'v noticed that too. | 20:41 |
| drubin | Virtual box @ third3ye #vbox | 20:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: oh yes VMware pft. Virtualbox on the other hand big :) | 20:41 |
| drubin | third3ye: It is great, i just set it up last night | 20:42 |
| NodeRazor | Arch Linux updated very often ;-) | 20:42 |
| vdsy | drubin: im not for or against any of them...he asked a question of which is more updated, i mentioned arch because i do love arch | 20:42 |
| hotspotCZ | and that lasts for over a week i guess, they should fix it immediately | 20:42 |
| NodeRazor | But its source based right? | 20:42 |
| vdsy | drubin: they're all linux after all right | 20:42 |
| drubin | vdsy: Is arch based on Ubuntu?? | 20:42 |
| vdsy | drubin: no | 20:42 |
| hotspotCZ | hahaha | 20:42 |
| lordleemo | is this ubuntu help? or lets all talk about arch? | 20:43 |
| hotspotCZ | arch linux? i tried to install it last week, but i just couldn't connect to any server during process... | 20:43 |
| hotspotCZ | yeah, fuck that | 20:43 |
| drubin | vdsy: Yes i would MUCh rather liunux vs the other | 20:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: I guess you will want USB support though. so the Open Source Version that you can get from the repo is no good. meaning you would need to get the PUEL cloused source version http://www.virtualbox.org | 20:43 |
| vdsy | NodeRazor: nope, not source-based..check it out http://archlinux.org/ | 20:43 |
| NodeRazor | vdsy, I know. | 20:43 |
| NodeRazor | vdsy, the site, I mean. | 20:43 |
| kevinO | !language | hotspotCZ | 20:43 |
| ubottu | hotspotCZ: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:43 |
| NodeRazor | no sh | 20:44 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: Need all the trimmings then, ey? Compiler, libraries, etc? | 20:44 |
| vdsy | drubin, absolutely, i just dont understand the distor wars thing, they're all good for certain purposes | 20:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: I guess I meant this link http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20080622143124178/Audio.html that's for audio software | 20:44 |
| slacker_nl | hello, does anyone know what rF means in dpkg -l ? | 20:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: what do you mean? | 20:44 |

| SilverFox_ | hey, what's the name of the software that allows me to run ubuntu w/in windows? | 20:44 |
| billy____ | how can i make an ubuntu vm in windows? | 20:44 |
| drubin | vdsy: I think ubuntu is not a great production server, but love it for a desktop | 20:44 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: This is a vanilla ubuntu ^^;; So to compile you need compilers, ey? | 20:44 |
| NodeRazor | Siilence, VirtualBox | 20:44 |
| third3ye | I'm green, btw | 20:44 |
| hawkx | hi | 20:44 |
| third3ye | I'm an oldschool nixer | 20:44 |
| lordleemo | i personally prefer a linux distrubution that doesnt look like fookin windows. All you gui lovers..:) | 20:44 |
| NodeRazor | SilverFox_, VirtualBox | 20:44 |
| third3ye | But I've skipped a couple of generations | 20:44 |
| drubin | vdsy: I have only tried Feroda and Ubuntu desktops before | 20:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: you got all the stuff you need already for Virtualbox | 20:45 |
| NodeRazor | if using x32 os | 20:45 |
| NodeRazor | if x64 then vmware | 20:45 |
| SilverFox_ | node357: is that the installer that comes w/UbunTU? | 20:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: well except for the PUEL virtualbox itself | 20:45 |
| phantom | Hi all !! Is there a distro that can back up partitiones (in live mode)? | 20:45 |

| === LimCore_ is now known as LimCore | ||
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: I mean you do want USB support? | 20:45 |
| vdsy | drubin: all good | 20:45 |
| SilverFox_ | aha! | 20:45 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: Everything thats possible I want | 20:45 |
| billy____ | can i run a 64bit ubuntu vm distro in a 32bit windows environment? | 20:45 |
| SilverFox_ | Wubi | 20:45 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: Gimme cutting edge | 20:45 |
| drubin | vdsy: Did not like fedroa, hey, I like centOS for our servers though | 20:45 |
| third3ye | Had Debian people yelling at me for using unstable Debian then asking for support :D | 20:46 |
| * Mecha25 curses Wubi for being so deceptively simple | 20:46 | |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: yep then you need the PUEL not the OSE from http://www.virtualbox.org yep PUEL | 20:46 |
| drubin | third3ye: That is not nice, | 20:46 |
| billy____ | how do i run an ubuntu vm? | 20:46 |
| drubin | third3ye: That is why i like Ubuntu so much, the comunity is nicer. | 20:46 |
| SilverFox_ | Will Wubi allow me to have direct access to the hardwaRE? ie, can I run wireshark and dsniff from w/in it? | 20:46 |
| Sk8rdude | does anyone know how to mount an ftp dir in fstab? | 20:46 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: Puel? Is it source code or binary? | 20:46 |
| third3ye | drubin: Indeed | 20:46 |
| phantom | Is there a distro that can back up NTFS partitiones (in live mode)? | 20:46 |
| vdsy | drubinl, yeah a friend told me about it, apparently his companny runs it...a minor complaint, i really cant stand how slow RPM is, ive ran opensuse before too see how it works, it's slow | 20:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: can't rmeember, but it's easy enough to install when you follow the site | 20:47 |
| vaportrail123 | whats the shortcut to switch between workspaces | 20:47 |
| uoaphys | Hi, I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed here, but wanted to get KDE4.1 on it, and be able to see it as an option when I login. Can someone help me with that? | 20:47 |
| SilverFox_ | control-alt left/right | 20:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: saying that I have a link for installing that I think as well | 20:47 |
| Phase | If I was to connect another internal harddrive, would ubuntu automatically pick it up? (assuming it's not broken, which is what I want to figure out) | 20:47 |
| SilverFox_ | or control-alt-number of workspace | 20:47 |
| vaportrail123 | ty | 20:47 |
| mizipzor | according to winehq.com, 1.0 is the latest stable release, but is there a way to get the development version through apt-get? | 20:47 |
| Sk8rdude | you would have to mount it phase | 20:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: ,but you can just go to #vbox anyway and they can help with installing if you get a problem | 20:47 |
| Sk8rdude | but it should appear | 20:47 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: I can find an OSE edition | 20:47 |
| SilverFox_ | no ideas on wubi? | 20:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: you don't want the OSE | 20:48 |
| Phase | Sk8rdude, I figured, but I'm not sure how I would figure out what sda it is :P | 20:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: you want PUEL | 20:48 |
| chao1 | Hello room | 20:48 |
| Sk8rdude | system --> admin --> system monitor | 20:48 |
| vdsy | drubin: funny u say about the commnity being nicer, i was running slakcware for a while, and the community has this elititst thing going, pretty much the main reason i switched to arch | 20:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: well the site tells you the difference between the two versions one of which is how OSE does not do USB | 20:48 |
| Phase | Sk8rdude, Thanks. | 20:49 |
| Sk8rdude | np | 20:49 |
| billy____ | is there anyway to boot the linux iso for livedisk from an sd card? | 20:49 |

| lbt | so I'm doing a netinstall from a usb stick with unetbootin. Partitioning OK (20Gb xfs /). The installing base system failed (twice) with "initscripts: depends lsb-base >=3.2.14 but 3.2-14ubuntu1 is to be installed..... | 20:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: also you could dual boot Linux and Windows | 20:49 |
| Sk8rdude | billy: if your pc can boot from it yes... is the sd card reader connected to a usb controller? | 20:49 |
| drubin | vdsy: Going to make dinner, will be back soon we can finish this discussion | 20:49 |

| avoozl | sorry to crosspost, but is there any hardy installer available with a 2.6.26 kernel? I'm currently trying to 'slipstream' in my own newly build kernel, but this turned out to be more tricky than i thought | 20:50 |
| billy____ | Sk8rdude: not sure.. i have a dell 1501 with a built in sdcard reader | 20:50 |
| lbt | I'm in text mode - any suggestions? It suggests apt-get -f install... | 20:50 |
| avoozl | i also tried to convince the intrepid alpha4 installer to use hardy packages, but that ran into a few other problems | 20:50 |

| Sk8rdude | billy: chances are it's on a usb controller in which case it should appear when you bring up the boot list | 20:51 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: It requires some obscure S-ATA drivers to be installed into Textmode | 20:51 |
| NodeRazor | Arch Linux, "We try to stay fairly bleeding edge, and typically have the latest stable versions of software. " | 20:51 |

| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: oh right yeah. so VM to get round that | 20:51 |
| NodeRazor | Does any one here use Arch? | 20:51 |

| RandyboY | I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z here with a fresh Ubuntu(latest) install. The only nic that works is cabled network. "Hardware Drivers" Proprietary drivers are loaded.

What could be wrong? | 20:52 |
| third3ye | I must seem hopeless at googling | 20:52 |
| tonohono | NodeRazor: Arch has it's own channel at #archlinux here. As for the OS, it's a great Linux learning experience, but eats up too much time for my liking :) | 20:52 |
| Sk8rdude | no you need to write it using an app like unetbootin | 20:52 |
| SebNaitsabes | third3ye: go to #vbox and they will help you with all that I am sure | 20:52 |

| lbt | so I'm doing a netinstall of 8.10 from a usb stick with unetbootin. Partitioning OK (20Gb xfs /). The installing base system failed (twice) with "initscripts: depends lsb-base >=3.2.14 but 3.2-14ubuntu1 is to be installed..... | 20:54 |
| third3ye | SebNaitsabes: So far the best reply was "<JshWright> third3ye: www.virtualbox.org" | 20:54 |
| Sk8rdude | so why do you want to install off an sd card? | 20:54 |
| LinuxGhost | May any1 knows how to delete/move a SPSS Installation Folder I put on my desktop while installing SPSS Program on my Ubuntu 8.04LTS??? | 20:54 |
| Mecha25 | SPSS runs on ubuntu? | 20:54 |
| lbt | do you seriously think that that is the problem? Sk8rdude | 20:54 |
| LinuxGhost | Run using WINE | 20:54 |
| billy____ | Sk8rdude i don't wan to install off of an sdcard | 20:54 |
| Mecha25 | oh | 20:54 |
| billy____ | i want to run it from the sdcard and leave windows on the hard drive | 20:55 |
| Overand | Hey - I have a semi-advanced software-raid question. | 20:55 |
| lbt | Overand: ... | 20:55 |
| billy____ | cuz sdcard will be faster than running livedisk | 20:55 |
| Overand | lbt: typing it =] | 20:55 |
| Sk8rdude | err | 20:55 |
| billy____ | ? | 20:55 |
| Overand | lbt: I have a 'temporary' external USB drive that I rebuilt a degraded RAID 5 array to while I'm waiting for my proper replacement internal driv e | 20:55 |
| Sk8rdude | well the process of putting the cd onto the sd card would take much longer than just installing it off the cd to start with | 20:55 |
| Sk8rdude | just boot from the cd and be done with it | 20:56 |
| Overand | is there a 'correct' way to replace that with the repalcement drive without having to put the array into a degraded state? | 20:56 |
| lbt | Overand: yes | 20:56 |
| lbt | if you can shut down the array | 20:56 |
| lbt | you can use ddrescue (or dd) to image the usb onto the replacement | 20:57 |

What could be wrong? | 20:57 |
| Overand | lbt: unfortuantely the system boots from the array, but i can run it off of a live CD | 20:57 |

| Sk8rdude | ok well you have 2 options | 20:57 |
| third3ye | oooo... spam >.< I'm not used to ircing ^^;; soz | 20:57 |
| Sk8rdude | you can just make a new partition | 20:57 |
| lbt | install the new drive, make sure the array is down | 20:57 |
| billy____ | Sk8rdude i would but not enough room lol | 20:57 |
| Sk8rdude | and install it on the hdd | 20:57 |
| lbt | ddrescue the partition (making sure the size is *exactly* the same) | 20:58 |
| Overand | lbt: heh - snag there. | 20:58 |
| lbt | ...? | 20:58 |
| Overand | lbt: the 'temporary repalcement' drive is larger | 20:58 |
| lbt | oh, that's fine | 20:58 |
| lbt | are you using partitions? | 20:58 |
| lbt | or full disks | 20:58 |
| lbt | (nb this is why you should use partitions) | 20:59 |
| Overand | i.e. i'm going from a 750 gig 'raid partition' of a whole disk back down to a 740 gig raid paritition | 20:59 |

| LimCore | EruditeHermit: simple - no, not that I know off. There are some tools like socat... other tools like tor... they /a bit/ do something related to what you described | 21:06 |
| LimCore | EruditeHermit: also, you could try setting env variable (what was it... HTTP_PROXY=.. ? I think....?) and then tell givne program to use system configuraiton for proxy (i.e. fire fox does it) | 21:07 |
| Scorcher | friend: wirless adapter for the computer or a wireless repeater/access ;point? | 21:07 |

| guesswho | login to it from my other ubuntu pc? | 21:16 |
| {alejandro} | and it was one of the dell inspirons with ubuntu preinstalled and it all worked out of the box | 21:16 |
| gaintsura | teeu334: lol when I first got my laptop I spaced that it had that switch, spent 2 hours on a hard line wondering why I couldn't get wireless | 21:16 |

| {alejandro} | is the relavent section | 21:17 |

| {alejandro} | I know - I kind of installed a lot of things... I'll look through synaptic for a minute... | 21:18 |
| teeu334 | gaintsura: the driver is part of the kernel, not an extra package | 21:18 |
| {alejandro} | the thing is though it worked out of the box | 21:18 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | like what SebNaitsabes? | 21:18 |
| teeu334 | giesen: iwl3945 is in mainline kernel since 2.6.24 | 21:18 |
| gaintsura | teeu334: yes, but that doesn't mean it cant be re-installed | 21:18 |
| gaintsura | teeu334: I have to do it every time the kernel upgrades | 21:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | strawbeRRy_fieLd: K3B, Konversation, and kdiskfree | 21:19 |
| teeu334 | gaintsura: then your driver is _not_ part of the kernel image | 21:19 |
| EruditeHermit | LimCore: thanks for the ideas btw | 21:19 |
| gaintsura | teeu334: madwifi | 21:19 |
| gaintsura | so yes, I know that | 21:19 |
| teeu334 | gaintsura: iwl3945 is in mainline kernel, not an external driver module | 21:19 |

| Guest23178 | hello. can someone help me with the touchpad on my apple macbook, im running ubuntu 7.10 | 21:19 |
| teeu334 | gaintsura: madwifi will never be in mainline (not fully open source) | 21:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | strawbeRRy_fieLd: K3B is an amzing CD and DVD burning program and kdiskfree is for showing how much space has been used up on the hard disk | 21:20 |
| gaintsura | teeu334: that would probably explain a lot, but I don't mind as long as I don't have to reboot to use some of my network tools | 21:20 |

| Daze1 | like it just played a crappy song in amarok, so i wanna tell it that song is crap | 21:29 |
| WDC | chao1: I have heard good things, but Java doesn't work here | 21:29 |

| k31to | now on to my next question, why after running sudo chmod -R 0744 /file/path does /file/path return "permission denied" after ls -l ????!!!! | 21:31 |
| CITguy | anybody know how to get a tri-boot to work with WinServer 2003, Ubuntu, and Fedora Core 2 (don't ask) | 21:31 |
| * chao1 says that salto needs to install gnome-core package | 21:31 | |
| k31to | gaintsura: no worries, I'm more worried about why I can't access the folder after running 744 | 21:31 |
| Daze1 | How do you rate a song in Amarok? | 21:31 |
| * salto_ did do so. | 21:31 | |
| dkulchenko | CITguy: install winserver 2003, then Fedora, then Ubuntu | 21:31 |
| gaintsura | k31to: probably because you are not the owner | 21:31 |

| {alejandro} | teeu334 That bit about Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch looks ominous | 21:32 |

| Daze1 | thanks | 21:32 |
| salto_ | I do no know. The reason why I am asking is my Main Menu is missing :( | 21:32 |
| teeu334 | {alejandro}: you must find the rf kill switch on your notebook | 21:32 |
| dkulchenko | CITguy: please explain... | 21:32 |
| k31to | gaintsura: you are indeed correct... but why then does it return the results of ls -l when the folder is set to 755 ? | 21:33 |
| {alejandro} | teeu334 yeah thanks for the help | 21:33 |
| gaintsura | because you have 'proper access' to see it | 21:33 |
| infz_ | How can I make the Alternate Installation CD to work from USB? I want to install Ubuntu on a LVM | 21:33 |

| Blaenk | hey guys, my friend is looking for a nautilus script which he can use to right click on a folder with multi-rared files and click extract all to extract them all, is this possible? | 21:33 |
| Daze1 | the rating column should open by default | 21:33 |

| salto_ | gnome-keyring is numbered with v2.22.2 | 21:38 |
| dkulchenko | CITguy: operating systems don't just add themselves to the list. you have to add them to grub, and then reinstall grub | 21:38 |
| speener | how can i allow multiple apps to use sound? | 21:38 |
| administrator | ad | 21:38 |
| mgolisch | speener: use pulse or configure alsa to use dmix | 21:38 |
| gaintsura | k31to: np ^_^ | 21:38 |
| WDC | Hey yall, I cannot access "computer" it says this: Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations. | 21:38 |
| dkulchenko | CITguy: GRUB has no knowledge of what OSes are installed on your computer. it just has references to parts of the disk to use to boot | 21:38 |
| administrator | i dont know | 21:38 |

| WDC | Hey, I cannot open computer. What is that about? It says: Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations. | 21:42 |
| teeu334 | squiddy: intel wireless drivers are part of the mainline kernel since 8.04. you don't install them. | 21:42 |
| mgolisch | speener: you do have ubuntu right? unless you reconfigured your apps to use alsa explictly they should have been configured to use ulseaudio i think | 21:42 |
| salto_ | My problem: I need to install gnome-dektop-enviroment, but gnome-keyring is newr than the version to be installed. | 21:43 |
| squiddy | teeu334, but, there is no option for wireless network on network manager ? | 21:43 |
| gaintsura | salto_: easy, uninstall gnome-keyring and then go through gnome-desktop-env | 21:43 |
| teeu334 | squiddy: and you are sure your wireless chipset is intel? | 21:43 |
| salto_ | gaintsura, even the dependencys of keyring? | 21:44 |
| gaintsura | no | 21:44 |
| gaintsura | just the keyring | 21:44 |

| squiddy | teeu334, i can't remember, laptop is on another place. but only i can remember, it was like intel PRO BG wireless | 21:46 |
| Legendario | Gnea, i guess so... | 21:46 |
| RandyboY | gaintsura, great | 21:46 |
| teeu334 | squiddy: and which ubuntu version? | 21:46 |

| RandyboY | gaintsura, great, thanks! :-) | 21:47 |
| teeu334 | squiddy: then you already have intel wireless drivers installed. i guess it is just a hardware rf kill switch, disabling the antenna. | 21:47 |

| squiddy | teeu334, ok, i guess i'll come back when i have the laptop.. thanks anyway | 21:49 |
| teeu334 | squiddy: good notebooks have a hardware switch for that, not needing any software support for it. | 21:49 |
| frostbyt3 | need help getting internet access | 21:50 |
| teeu334 | squiddy: in cheap notebooks the rf kill switch just produces a ACPI hotkey event which must be handled by the OS | 21:50 |

| hb | gnea: for example if your trying to install ubuntu on a bunch of donated PC's for a school. things are never the same | 21:57 |
| gpled | i have a cdiso that i would like to add a file to (free dos live cd) any docs on how to do this? or can someone assist me. would like to have the iso be able to burn a cd with the added file, when im done. | 21:57 |
| s3a | Slart: captain: should i put that in brainstorm? | 21:57 |
| Syngin | ahh, ok | 21:57 |
| tekuin | Slart | 21:57 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: what kind of encryption is used in your wifi network? | 21:57 |
| frostbyt3 | WEP | 21:57 |
| frostbyt3 | 16 bit | 21:57 |
| tekuin | shott baba , birak ozgur kalayim | 21:57 |
| Slart | s3a: captain? .. well.. no, it's not a bug.. it's just the way ntfs and ext3 are | 21:57 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: 16 bit WEP does not exist | 21:57 |
| hb | frostbyte, i'll be over in a sec, do you have a fast inet connect? ^^ | 21:58 |
| frostbyt3 | yeah | 21:58 |
| Syngin | siloko, have you checked on ubuntuforums | 21:58 |
| s3a | Slart: captainm is another person here | 21:58 |
| hb | >:) | 21:58 |
| Slart | s3a: you can't convert ntfs to ext3 in place, you can't eat candy all day, you cant fly by flapping your arms.. some things aren't meant to be =) | 21:58 |
| siloko | Syngin: There's an old post - I'll look again - thanks anyway | 21:58 |
| === NCommander is now known as ScottK-decoy | ||
| s3a | Slart: and not as a bug report, as an idea, like couldnt it be a nice feature request or is it absolutely impossible? | 21:58 |
| === mattdude is now known as mattva01 | ||
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: WEP has 64 bit and 128 bit key length. both is considered insecure. use WPA instead. | 21:58 |
| === ScottK-decoy is now known as NCommander | ||
| hb | slart, you can run ntfs inside ext can't you? | 21:59 |
| frostbyt3 | WEP 64 sorry | 21:59 |
| Slart | s3a: I would say it's impossible.. it might be doable but it isn't worth the time and effort | 21:59 |
| Legendario | sudo aptitude install gparted | 21:59 |
| frostbyt3 | can't i just use what i got for now instead of changing all my machines | 21:59 |
| Slart | hb: not that I know of.. they are both file systems | 21:59 |
| s3a | Slart: well if u ask me, its worth it cuz such a feature is good to convert windows users ;) but thats not my situation | 22:00 |
| WDC | Hey I am getting "Compression Error 99" when trying to extract a .zip. How can I get a .zip? | 22:00 |
| Slart | hb: linux can read and write both ntfs and ext3 if that's what you mean | 22:00 |
| captainm | frostbyt3: sure you can. | 22:01 |
| qr_ | WDC what program are you using to extract? | 22:01 |
| frostbyt3 | all i need to do is connect, but cant | 22:01 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: it seems WEP is not very well supported by newer drivers, or network manager has a bug when configuring it | 22:01 |
| hb | Slart, negative. I'm trying to think back to an article I read awhile ago. but I'm thinking of something else | 22:01 |
| WDC | qr_: Archive manager | 22:01 |
| hb | but I think* I'm thinking of something else | 22:02 |
| Slart | s3a: well.. let's say this will take 400 man years... that time would be better spent on other things.. making directx games run natively in ubuntu, drivers for all graphics cards, booting in <10 secs.. all that.. or convert ntfs to ext3 in place.. | 22:02 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: but you should *really* switch from WEP to WPA, especially if you have only 64 bit WEP | 22:02 |
| siloko | Are wildcards allowed in fstab (e.g /dev/sdb*) ? | 22:02 |
| qr_ | WDC: try installing unzip and then do 'unzip yourfile.zip' in the terminal. | 22:02 |
| j^2 | im' having a hellva time trying to get my dell d620 laptop's soundcard working; i'm thinking a permissions problem, can some one be my sounding board? | 22:02 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: 64 bit WEP can be cracked in a few minutes | 22:02 |
| WDC | qr_: Will try, is that in Symantic? | 22:02 |
| Slart | siloko: I don't think so | 22:02 |
| qr_ | WDC: yes | 22:02 |
| WDC | qr_: Synaptic, sorry. Cool thanks | 22:03 |
| siloko | Syngin: you were right - I have to add entries to potential device names and stop thembeing mounted with the 'noauto' flag . . . | 22:03 |
| salto_ | Ok, I am back. When I want to uninstall gnome-keyring, synaptic wants to deinstall many other programs such as gksu. The packet in question is gnome-keyring-manager (N.b. the manager extension) | 22:03 |
| hb | siloko: I doubt it. that would lead to more than 1 partition to a single mount path | 22:03 |
| Slart | siloko: how would that work anyway.. mount a partition on sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4 .... , sda997315 | 22:03 |
| frostbyt3 | how can I switch it | 22:03 |
| friendlybrain | hello I have a Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 wireless adapter it can detect networks out of the box but I don't think I can connect can someone hlep?? | 22:03 |
| frostbyt3 | believe me no one is cracking my connection im in the middle of no where | 22:03 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: you must configure your wireless AP to do WPA. | 22:03 |
| siloko | Syngin: I wnated to do /dev/sdb* mountpoint NONE with nosuto option | 22:03 |
| siloko | *noauto* | 22:04 |
| Legendario | Gnea: so... anything???? | 22:04 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: and of course change the wireless setup of your client machines to WPA too | 22:04 |
| siloko | but I suppose I have to enter them one by one :) | 22:04 |
| Slart | siloko: eh.. if you don't want to mount it.. why include it in the fstab? | 22:04 |
| hb | siloko: try /dev/sdb[x,y] noauto | 22:04 |
| siloko | Slart: to stop it being automounted when i plug it in | 22:04 |
| friendlybrain | can any1 help? | 22:04 |
| WDC | qr_: I get this: skipping: <my_file> unsupported compression method 99 | 22:04 |
| hb | siloko: doubt it will work but | 22:04 |
| Slart | siloko: aahhh.. I get it.. | 22:04 |
| siloko | hb: thanks | 22:05 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: but if you insist in doing very weak wireless encryption, try configuring the card with iwconfig, not with network manager | 22:05 |
| salto_ | The problem I am stuck with gnome-desktop wants to have gnome-keyring-manager, but Synaptics reports the keyring-manager being unistallable. | 22:05 |
| qr_ | WDC: interesting... try doing 'file yourfile.zip', that should tell you what type of data is actually in the file. | 22:05 |
| WDC | okay | 22:06 |
| hb | teeu334, wep isn't weak. it would take a 486 at least a year to determine the key | 22:06 |
| monique | hallo? | 22:06 |
| WDC | qr_: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract | 22:06 |
| frostbyt3 | no way airsnort can crack that | 22:06 |
| friendlybrain | I can see networks but I can't connect, does anyone know what the problem is | 22:07 |
| frostbyt3 | how can i configure the card w/ iwconfig | 22:07 |
| frostbyt3 | this is frustrating | 22:07 |
| wasabi | i need some alternate installation media for a plain cli install other than a cd. a netboot floppy would be fine. Does anybody maintain a netboot floppy for ubuntu>? | 22:07 |
| mdke | does anyone know how to wget all files in a particular directory on the web? | 22:07 |
| nagyv | hello! I have no sound! probably the sound device is misused by something. What should I do? | 22:07 |
| TJ-Linux | if I setup fstab to "auto" mount a drive, does that mean it gets automatically mounted at boot, or is it more similar to allowing nautilus to automatically mount when I click on a drive? | 22:07 |
| qr_ | WDC: oh my. Well I'm out of ideas. I thought it might have just been a misnamed extension, but now I don't know what to tell you. | 22:07 |
| wasabi | mdke: HTTP has no such thing as directories. | 22:07 |
| siloko | Well in case anyone is interested - it worked!! | 22:07 |
| Slart | hb: I think wep is more broken than that.. I've heard figures around 10 minutes or so | 22:07 |
| vvargas | :) | 22:07 |
| mdke | wasabi: so, it can't be done? they are all in a directory on the server | 22:08 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "your_essid" key s:your_key_as_ascii | 22:08 |
| wasabi | mdke: HTTP has no conception of a directory. There is no way to 'list' one. | 22:08 |
| captainm | frostbyt3: the arch wiki has a great entry on wireless networking http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless | 22:08 |
| wasabi | mdke: The best it can do is pull down a 'page' and scan the links in the page. | 22:08 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: or the key in hex without the s: prefix | 22:08 |
| wasabi | which wget can do | 22:08 |
| wasabi | by using -R | 22:08 |
| WDC | qr_: Okay, thanks anyway. The v2 helps with Googleing | 22:08 |
| mdke | wasabi: thanks | 22:08 |
| Slart | hb: have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy | 22:08 |
| RequinB4 | hb: wep is not secure at all to a person who knows what he or she is doing | 22:09 |
| salto_ | The problem I am stuck with is gnome-desktop-enviroment wants to have gnome-keyring-manager, but Synaptics reports the keyring-manager being unistallable. My primarly problem is I am not able to open my Application Menu. No one a clue? | 22:09 |

| DDR | Hello, all. How do I make my windows transparent? | 22:13 |
| frostbyt3 | so the network name: is Linksys, now the network password is the WEP? | 22:14 |
| [NikO] | Slart, edit !fr there is no more #kubuntu-fr | 22:14 |
| frostbyt3 | or is that the other password | 22:14 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: the term password is not correct for wep. probably it is the wep key in ascii form. | 22:14 |
| Slart | [NikO]: there isn't.. oh.. didn't know. | 22:14 |
| frostbyt3 | well its a hex pw | 22:15 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: then use the notation without the s: prefix | 22:15 |
| frostbyt3 | what is the s prefix? | 22:15 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "your_essid" key s:your_key_as_ascii | 22:15 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: that one above | 22:16 |
| WDC | Getting a little sick of Linux about now. Why can I not burn or read a blank CD? Error Message: mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 22:16 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: if you dont read the commands we paste here, we cannot help you | 22:16 |
| amenado | WDC what do you expect to read off of blank CD ? nothing i hope! | 22:17 |
| Flare183 | WDC: ok to fix this you must open nautilus with root | 22:17 |
| WDC | How do I burn it then? | 22:17 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: if your key is in hex notation, the command would be: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "your_essid" key your_key_as_hex | 22:17 |
| Osse | Anyone here good at Nautilius-Actions and RAR? | 22:17 |
| WDC | Flare183: I am having a problem with Nautilus as well | 22:17 |

| Flare183 | what the.... | 22:18 |
| Flare183 | hold on... | 22:18 |
| frostbyt3 | says [sudo] password for frostbyt3: | 22:18 |
| Osse | frostbyt3 - Enter your root password. | 22:19 |
| teeu334 | Osse: no | 22:19 |
| WDC | frostbyt3: What else would you do? (RE Osse) | 22:19 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: enter your user password | 22:19 |
| frostbyt3 | now what | 22:19 |
| RequinB4 | !root | Osse | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Osse: 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 | 22:20 |
| Osse | Oh, my bad. o.O | 22:20 |
| anthony__ | hi, I would like to show the contents of folders ~/a and ~/b into a single folder ~/c . Is it possible? | 22:20 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: enter the password you use for logging in as user frostbyt3 (or whatever your username ist) | 22:20 |
| frostbyt3 | ok now what? | 22:20 |
| Flare183 | ... | 22:21 |
| frostbyt3 | didn't say anything hit enter | 22:21 |
| amenado | WDC do you have an image to burn? can you use the K3b gui app to burn it? | 22:21 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: check with iwconfig if your are connected | 22:21 |
| wesley | Ubuntu is hypocriet | 22:21 |
| hb | What is the significance of the /srv file in an ubuntu install? | 22:21 |

| joetheodd | Hey guys, I've got an Intel Seattle Mobo with 3 RAM slots, all one channel. I had a 64-bit piece in one slot when I installed, when I added two 32's to amount to 96 (the 64 gets knocked down to 32, since it's all one channel), the system would recognize the RAM but immediately after the GRUB screen, I'd get a kernel panic. Any ideas? This is 5.10's kernel, upgrading isn't possible. :( | 22:21 |
| hb | what uses it by default? anything? | 22:21 |
| joetheodd | wow, wall of text. | 22:21 |
| wesley | and gnome is ugly and not user friendly | 22:21 |
| WDC | amenado: No. I am burning files | 22:21 |
| wesley | and ubuntu commity is not nice | 22:22 |
| WDC | wesley: It's fine for me! The ugly part I agree with, thouhgh/ | 22:22 |
| RequinB4 | wesley: then don't use it, stop trolling | 22:22 |
| hb | wesley, I saw a aero skin the other day if makes you fell any better | 22:22 |
| frostbyt3 | this is BS man why can't i connect | 22:22 |
| Slart | wesley: do you have a question? rants in #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:22 |
| amenado | WDC-> same thing, you can use K3b | 22:22 |
| Osse | Anyone here good at Nautilius-Actions and RAR? - I would like to extract a dir containing subdirs with .rar archives in it. | 22:22 |
| WDC | amenado: I see. Is that in synaptic? | 22:22 |
| amenado | WDC k3b | 22:22 |
| joetheodd | frostbyt3, mind stating your whole problem again? Sorry, didn't catch it.. I'll try to help. | 22:22 |
| amenado | is in synaptic | 22:22 |
| wesley | no slart i was just aiming at the ubuntu-nl commity that are asseholes they are unfair | 22:23 |
| Slart | Osse: you could write a long command with find, rar and such | 22:23 |
| WDC | amenado: Cool thanks | 22:23 |
| hb | Osse: unrar -R ? | 22:23 |
| joetheodd | frostbyt3, if it's asking for "[sudo] password for frostbyt3", enter YOUR password, not the root password btw | 22:23 |
| Osse | hb - That does exactly what? | 22:23 |
| Slart | wesley: still.. this is the support channel.. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:23 |
| Osse | unrar %PATH% -R? | 22:23 |
| frostbyt3 | yeah i got that thanks joe | 22:23 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: sorry, you are way too impatient | 22:23 |
| joetheodd | !ohno | 22:23 |

| hb | Osse: it was just a shot in the dark. does unrar even have a -R argument? | 22:23 |
| teeu334 | wesley: well then tell that in #ubuntu-nl, not here | 22:23 |
| frostbyt3 | teeu334: i've just been trying to connect to days and cant get started on this | 22:24 |
| frostbyt3 | to = for* | 22:24 |
| Dans34 | is ther a command that will show me incomming ftp connections to my server ? | 22:24 |
| Osse | I don't think so hb. | 22:24 |
| wesley | i did already those guys are stupid in ubuntu-nl i am using ip from nextdoor and they just ban it | 22:24 |
| Slart | Dans34: depends on which ftp server you installed.. most have some kind of info command | 22:24 |
| hb | Osee: then create an /bin/base if script | 22:24 |
| Dans34 | i installed vsftpd | 22:25 |
| Slart | wesley: for the last time.. #ubuntu-offtopic.. this is a support channel | 22:25 |
| WDC | amenado: LOTS of packages | 22:25 |
| vaportrail124 | peace out crackas | 22:25 |
| joetheodd | wesley, well if you were in #ubuntu-nl, you must have a question to begin with (or maybe that's why you were banned?), go ahead and ask it. | 22:25 |
| amenado | WDC let synaptic handle the dependencies | 22:25 |
| Expl01ted | lol never been called a cracka before... is that good? | 22:25 |
| WDC | amenado: I know, but 14 packages required? WOW! | 22:25 |
| joetheodd | Expl01ted, high in fiber. | 22:25 |
| WDC | Expl01ted: Depeends | 22:26 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: how long is your wep key is hex? if you are using 64 bit wep, it should be 16 chars (== 8 bytes == 40 bits). the remaining 24 bits are the IV of each wireless frame. | 22:26 |
| joetheodd | WDC, GNU is the worlds largest spider web. | 22:26 |
| amenado | WDC whatever it takes | 22:26 |
| DDR | Hello again. I have checked under the advanced window settings, and the basic window settings. However, I see no way to make my windows transparent (so I can see throught one to the other.). Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might look. please? | 22:26 |
| MFietje | there is nobody talking in ubuntu-nl at the moment | 22:26 |
| WDC | joetheodd: amenado NO WAY! lol. It's crazy | 22:26 |
| gpled | i can mount an iso with sudo mount some.iso /media/work but i can not write to it. any ideas why not? | 22:26 |
| Slart | DDR: are you running compiz? | 22:26 |
| Expl01ted | WDC: on what? | 22:26 |
| teeu334 | frostbyt3: err, no. | 22:26 |
| Expl01ted | joetheodd: carbon fiber bodies are high in fiber also, thats not good to eat. | 22:26 |
| Scunizi | DDR: with compiz running is was something like CTRL or Alt and the mouse wheel | 22:27 |
| WDC | Expl01ted: How it was used, the way he used it, it was nuetral. Means, "white person" | 22:27 |
| amenado | WDC well...whats the issue? you are afraid you dont have enuff bandwidth? | 22:27 |
| Slart | gpled: I don't think writing to isos is implemented like that | 22:27 |
| joetheodd | Expl01ted, but crackers are safe though. Either that or I'd be way dead. | 22:27 |
| wesley | joetheodd they banned someone who maby wanted to use linux ( ip is not my ) | 22:27 |
| DDR | How do I check? (I have the sproingy windows, is that a compiz setting?) | 22:27 |
| WDC | amenado: Yes and no, it's slow, but it's just, coming from Windows, this is madness! lol | 22:27 |
| Expl01ted | WDC: oh here I thought he was calling me salty.. | 22:27 |
| Slart | DDR: sproingy windows sounds like compiz =) have you installed the compiz config settings manager? | 22:27 |
| WDC | Expl01ted: lol no. Never call a black person that, BTW | 22:27 |
| Scunizi | !ccsm | DDR | 22:27 |

| Slart | !ccsm | 22:27 |
| joetheodd | wesley, were they speaking english? I think #ubuntu-nl is a non-english channel | 22:27 |
| Crshman | is it better to use the entire disk or partitions for a linux SW raid? (ie..../dev/sdb vs /dev/sdb1) | 22:27 |
| joetheodd | Scunizi, I thought DDR was that arcade game. | 22:27 |
| amenado | WDC just because you do not see the pile of ^#$%#$ windows put on your machine.. | 22:28 |
| gpled | Slart: any idea how to mod an iso? | 22:28 |
| Flare183 | hehe | 22:28 |
| Scunizi | joetheodd: maybe.. never heard of it myself | 22:28 |
| wesley | joethodd now i even did´nt say anything konversation just logs default in konversation | 22:28 |
| WDC | amenado: Though, files were smaller and dependecies were less. | 22:28 |
| Slart | gpled: not really.. never had to.. but I guess there must be a way | 22:28 |
| DDR | I think so - it that the one with all the buttons like 'desktop cube' and 'fire effect'? | 22:28 |
| Expl01ted | WDC: really. | 22:28 |
| joetheodd | Scunizi, dance dance revolution? | 22:28 |
| WDC | amenado: Either way I LOVE linux | 22:28 |
| Slart | DDR: yes, that's the one | 22:28 |
| Scunizi | joetheodd: :) | 22:28 |
| WDC | Expl01ted: Ya really | 22:28 |

| amenado | WDC i figured you got other stuff being downloaded | 22:31 |
| Shadowkllr | question-does notepad++ have any plugins to connect to openssh sftp? If not, (i still want my ftp's encrypted), would running a different ftp server program on my nix box that is compatible with notepad++ be an option if I tunnel it through my ssh connection, which would still be encrypted (currently I tunnel vnc through the ssh connection and everything is encrypted fine) | 22:31 |
| DDR | Woah! | 22:31 |
| WDC | amenado: lol yah some more stuff I need to burn | 22:31 |

| upd | SebNaitsabes, everything | 22:32 |
| Slart | DDR: you're welcome.. it's in the general section.. last tab, 'opacity settings' | 22:32 |
| WDC | amenado: k3b looks great, looks | 22:32 |

| Osse | rkvirani - Install ALSA first, see if it finds it? | 22:32 |
| Daemonik | If I have /home/ mounted on another partition, is 4GB (for /) enough space for a Ubuntu system? | 22:33 |
| upd | SebNaitsabes, no, but i must mention that doesn't happend only in firefox in other program too, but most time while using flash | 22:33 |
| amenado | WDC good luck my friend | 22:33 |
| RequinB4 | DDR, we like compiz too | 22:33 |
| rkvirani | alsa-base already installed | 22:33 |
| dubby | Hey anyone, im having a problem and it only started recently, I am using compiz and whenever I attempt to use any sort of full screen application, the application flashes and goes back to normal screen size, flash, mplayer, vlc ..etc HELP! | 22:33 |
| frosty | ok back | 22:33 |
| Slart | Daemonik: if you keep it slim it will be enough..but it's a bit on the small side | 22:33 |
| DDR | I found it. | 22:33 |
| rkvirani | Osse: I think the system is using Pulse Audio though | 22:33 |
| dubby | turning off compiz makes the applications work as they should | 22:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | upd: yes I think tehre is an an issue with Firefox freezing when it does Flash | 22:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | upd: for some people | 22:33 |
| Osse | rkvirani - It does, but ALSA helped me abit. | 22:34 |
| Shadowkllr | dae, i did that, and found i needed more, so i bumped the partition up to 8gb | 22:34 |
| === PakoTM|away is now known as PakoTM | ||

| RequinB4 | Daemonik: only if you dislike a graphical interface :P, have at least 8GB | 22:34 |
| WDC | amenado: OH YAH! Works great. Love the all the options I have. Thanks for reccomendation | 22:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | alma: maybe the program that it uses in Ubuntu is not avaialbe in Xubuntu | 22:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | alma: altough I thought XFCE was just Ubuntu, but with XFCE as the GUI instead of Gnome | 22:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | upd: try another browser or kernel? | 22:35 |
| upd | SebNaitsabes, no, i will try other kernel | 22:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | upd: did you have the issues with previous kernels at all? | 22:35 |
| frosty | looks like it's back to windows | 22:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | why frosty? | 22:35 |
| WDC | frosty: NOEZ! | 22:35 |

| Dans34 | how can i view incomming connections ? | 22:35 |
| dingodeege | hi | 22:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | upd: maybe it's X freezing | 22:36 |
| frosty | cant connect to my router damnit | 22:36 |
| alma | SebNaitsabes: I don't have a clue, I just want to get skype working | 22:36 |
| WDC | frosty: New router = better than Windows | 22:36 |
| WDC | frosty: WHich router? | 22:36 |
| alma | SebNaitsabes: I have tried several programs but I can get any record from my cam | 22:36 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: ask the support channel how to help, its what it's for | 22:36 |
| frosty | whats the channel? | 22:36 |
| frosty | linksys | 22:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | alma: Skype oh right well there is the Linux version yes, but the Windows one should work under Wine | 22:37 |
| upd | SebNaitsabes, i don't think so, becouse than it would be possible to restart X from keyboard, but as i say beyboard is dead | 22:37 |
| esteth | I have an old lego studios webcam, but cheese only shows me a color test pattern and static when I attempt to use it. dmesg shows that it has been assigned to /dev/video0, so I'm not sure what's going wrong | 22:37 |
| alma | SebNaitsabes: nope the problem is that I can not use my webcam even in a linux program like cheese | 22:37 |
| SebNaitsabes | upd: you could try another distro also | 22:37 |
| Slart | Daemonik: ah..I have no doubt you can squeeze in an ubuntu install on those 4GB.. but you won't have much space left over | 22:37 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: this one | 22:37 |

| RequinB4 | frosty: that will output all the pci hardware devices you have, specificall yyour wireless card, so you can get it fixed | 22:39 |
| WDC | Hey when trying to open "Computer" I get this: Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations | 22:39 |
| frosty | how do u get that horizontal bar | 22:39 |
| frosty | lol | 22:39 |
| remoteCTRL | what was the name of that app to watch streamed tv ? | 22:39 |
| frosty | sorry | 22:39 |
| tk_ | mythtv | 22:40 |
| RequinB4 | frosty, np. It's shift + the button above enter | 22:40 |
| WDC | RequinB4: What is that called? | 22:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | remoteCTRL: zatttoplayer is another, but I coudn't get it working in Linux or Windows. which reminds me I was going to contact them about the error | 22:40 |
| RequinB4 | WDC: pipe | 22:40 |
| remoteCTRL | tk_: not precisely, more like for online broadcasts | 22:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | remoteCTRL: zattoo player that is | 22:40 |
| WDC | RequinB4: Ah! Very cool thanks | 22:41 |
| frosty | Requin: Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini -PCI | 22:41 |
| Slart | frosty: horisontal bar? like - ? | 22:41 |
| remoteCTRL | SebNaitsabes: thanks *googling* | 22:41 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Anyone know of a fix for the latest problems with flash, now its sticking videos in random sections of my screen... | 22:41 |
| dragon_ | when i downlaod ubuntu on virtual box, the post says there is a DRDY error. what does this display mean and how can i fix it? | 22:41 |
| Slart | frosty: or the vertical bar? | | 22:41 |
| frosty | vertical sorry, o wasnt thinking | 22:41 |
| frosty | I* | 22:41 |
| WDC | lol at horizontal | 22:41 |
| WDC | _ | 22:42 |
| Slart | frosty: yes.. pipe.. on my swedish keyboard it's AltGr+ the key for <>.. to the left of the Z | 22:42 |
| WDC | Slart: to much work | 22:42 |
| Slart | frosty: probably somewhere else on everyone elses keyboard | 22:42 |

| teeu334 | Slart: german keyboards also have | on the <> key with altgr | 22:43 |
| third3ye_ | So I'm having seriouse problems with my wireless connection and I need to test a few things | 22:43 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: ok, i'm about to give you a link with a lot of stuff you can just copy and paste, post here if you have issues, as you might have on a few steps. http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ | 22:43 |
| WDC | Slart: It is also known as the vertical slash O_o | 22:43 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: before you start, do you have a wired connection? | 22:44 |
| third3ye_ | Like for instance the hardware (PCI and USB dongle) and router, analyze them so I can see what the problem is | 22:44 |
| remoteCTRL | SebNaitsabes: that one looks really nice but its not precisely waht i mean, see i dont want to receive through cable or satellite but through internet and there was an app that you could watch such streams with | 22:44 |
| third3ye_ | How would I go about doing that? | 22:44 |
| RequinB4 | !pm | frosty | 22:44 |
| ubottu | frosty: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 22:44 |
| frosty | i do have a cable, but this is wi fi so i can use my laptop | 22:44 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: ok, it'll be a *lot* easier if you can plug it in and connect to the internet via that way so you don't have to manually download on another computer and transfer it to your laptop | 22:45 |
| WDC | Hey just as a question, what are the main features of Edgy over Hardy/ | 22:45 |
| remoteCTRL | SebNaitsabes: as far as i recall it picked up and gathered streams that you possibly could also find with your browser | 22:45 |
| frosty | ok | 22:45 |
| Slart | WDC: eh.. edgy is older than hardy.. | 22:45 |
| WDC | I'm sorry, I meant Ibex | 22:45 |
| frosty | plugged in, now what should i do | 22:45 |
| Slart | WDC: newer kernel.. probably some more bling bling.. you can ask in #ubuntu+1 for better answers.. they run the alpha's already I think | 22:45 |
| RequinB4 | follow the instructions on that website | 22:46 |
| RequinB4 | frosty | 22:46 |
| WDC | Slart: Okay cool thanks | 22:46 |
| sarthor | Hi. i reinstalled my ubuntu hardy on my laptop, because my ssh were not working to connect the remote computer, while i was able to conect via putty, after reinstallation still the same status. i reinstalled from new iso and new CD. | 22:46 |
| frosty | i still cant connect with the plug in | 22:47 |
| KleinerHai | Hello, i've just seen, that my system monitor in the panel uses a lot of my ressources! Why do he did that??? | 22:47 |
| frosty | what gives | 22:47 |
| frosty | nevermind | 22:47 |
| frosty | it works | 22:47 |
| WDC | lol | 22:47 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: ok, one second before you start | 22:47 |
| frosty | Ok | 22:47 |
| frosty | thanks for the help btw | 22:47 |
| Slart | KleinerHai: well.. it takes some cpu to gather info, update graphs etc etc | 22:47 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: for every instruction where it says "vim" type "gedit" instead | 22:47 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: that should be it | 22:48 |
| sarthor | soundray here?? | 22:48 |
| Slart | KleinerHai: not a lot though.. but it does show up.. in the system monitor.. ironically | 22:48 |
| G3N0 | is wine included in ubuntu install or do you have to get seperately? | 22:48 |
| KleinerHai | Ah! Okay, that's it I think! Slart | 22:48 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: it's a more freindly text editor | 22:48 |
| Slart | G3N0: you have to install is separately | 22:48 |
| G3N0 | Slart: thanks | 22:48 |
| frosty | Ok | 22:48 |
| Slart | G3N0: "sudo apt-get install wine" will do it | 22:48 |
| WDC | G3N0, Synaptic has it | 22:48 |
| WDC | G3N0: or what Slart said | 22:48 |
| KleinerHai | Yes! Ironically...Slart...because during watching photos it took 3 seconds to go further in the show. without system monitor: Now just 1 or 2 sec. | 22:49 |

| KleinerHai | Slart....LOL! This is the first real hint with ubuntu I found :(. | 22:50 |
| KleinerHai | But I understand it... . | 22:50 |
| RequinB4 | frosty, the top? just copy and paste (use control +shift + v to paste in terminal) one line at a time | 22:50 |
| frosty | paste what is what im saying | 22:50 |
| Sinnerman | KleinerHai: you can find out how much it's consuming by sorting the columns in gnome systems monitor proper to show you what process is using the most % CPU. | 22:51 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: I don't understand | 22:51 |
| frosty | what do i do? | 22:51 |
| KleinerHai | Yes i just do it right now... slart. and now it is.... | 22:51 |
| KleinerHai | Slart: Gnome-System-Monitor with 19 % : | 22:51 |
| frosty | I thought you were giving me instructions | 22:51 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: you have applications - accesories - terminal open? Follow the instructions on the page, copy and pasting everything that looks like a command | 22:51 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: the instructions are on that page | 22:51 |
| frosty | oh what page? | 22:51 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ | 22:52 |
| KleinerHai | But not permanently at all :) | 22:52 |
| frosty | oh ok | 22:52 |
| bastid_raZor | sarthor; on the fresh install you have to install openssh-client and openssh-server to get ssh to work properly | 22:52 |
| sarthor | bastid_raZor, already installed. | 22:52 |
| Sinnerman | KleinerHai: what processor do you have and what speed? you can decrease the amount of resources it uses by decreasing its update speed. | 22:52 |
| bastid_raZor | sarthor; where are you trying to ssh to from the ubuntu computer? | 22:53 |
| KleinerHai | Slart: First I was astonished about the function in the panel to show the system monitor. But now I know why I should leave this un-runned :) | 22:53 |
| Slart | KleinerHai: hehe... there are other apps that show you processor usage and such..conky for example | 22:53 |

| Jonny0stars | is it possible to force the removal and upgrade of these packages, or possibly automatically fix any broken deps | 22:54 |
| Sinnerman | KleinerHai: yeah, it'll work less that way. it's in preferences, there's one setting for the processes page, and one for the graphs. yes, that one. | 22:54 |
| bastid_raZor | sarthor; what error does it give? | 22:54 |
| xerces8 | Can I suggest a note after installing flash plugin, like "To make this work, close and restrat Firefox". Took me half of an hour to figure out why flash was not working :-( | 22:54 |
| sarthor | bastid_raZor, i have other ubuntu server here in the room. ip is 192.168.0.100, i can access this servver via putty installed on my this laptop which have problem on ssh | 22:54 |
| sarthor | bastid_raZor, no error, after putting the password, the termianl hangs, nothing happens. | 22:55 |

| tes_ | Does anyone know why all my apps start Offline despite the fact ny net connection is in fact working? It's an annoyance in firefox where I can switch it back to online mode, but in Pidgin it's a deal breaker | 23:05 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: where it says "add this line" just paste it on a new line at the bottom. I don't see where you see "replace" this line | 23:05 |
| klndz03 | Berto, just format that partition | 23:05 |
| frosty | yeah add is what i meant, soryr | 23:05 |
| frosty | sorry | 23:05 |
| sarthor | bastid_raZor, And one thing, if this was a port problem, then putty also shuldnot connect. | 23:05 |
| RequinB4 | frosty: if you have any other questions, just ask the channel, i have to go for a few minutes | 23:05 |

| Doudou | hi | 23:05 |
| Sinnerman | Berto: you would have to reformat that partition to a format that windows XP recognises, fat 32, or ntfs. however you would lose all the data you have on that partition. and you have to know what you're doing. | 23:05 |
| Berto | klndz03, but can it re-grow that NTFS partition like it shrunk it? | 23:06 |

| Sinnerman | Berto: well, make sure no matter what you do, that you back up your data, preferably onto something that won't get accidentally erased in case something goes wrong. dvd, stuff like that. | 23:07 |
| Doudou | it's really annoyong cause i can't put a space in a song's name, cause it just pauses the song which is being played | 23:07 |

| dparrish | tuxice - when i do the "try ubuntu out" and it loads the kernel in mem only - i get a prompt for login ID and password but I have no idea what it would be? | 23:56 |

| theblue | Hi all. | 23:56 |

| dparrish | tuxice - during graphica install | 23:56 |
| theblue | I'm running 8.04, and I can't write to the filesystem, except as root. | 23:56 |
| theblue | otherwise, it says there is no space left on the device. | 23:57 |
| theblue | but i can write as root just fine. | 23:57 |
| theblue | any ideas? | 23:57 |
| ma10 | theblue: root has some reserved space | 23:57 |
| Slart | theblue: I think linux saves some space for root | 23:57 |
| tuxice | dparrish: try livecduser | 23:57 |
| unop | Jagoo, echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries"' | sudo tee -a /etc/bash.bashrc | 23:57 |
| theblue | how do i decrease that? | 23:57 |
| Slart | theblue: so the disk is full.. but there is some space left.. reserved for root | 23:57 |
| dparrish | tuxice - you still there? | 23:58 |
| Slart | theblue: sudo apt-get autoremove, sudo apt-get clean.. there's probably some other things you can clean out | 23:58 |
| ma10 | theblue: you can change it with tune2fs | 23:58 |
| tuxice | yes | 23:58 |
| unop | theblue, you don't want to decrease the amount of reserved blocks .. rather you want to create some free space by deleting old files, compressing others, etc | 23:58 |
| dparrish | tuxice - livecduser? would that be documented anywhere? what is password? same? | 23:58 |
| jsn | After the update today my wireless card dissapeared. | 23:58 |
| * jsn is running hardy. | 23:59 | |

| tuxice | dparrish: i do not think there is a password | 23:59 |
| theblue | unop: ok, thanks. | 23:59 |
