| rr73 | Gnea: you go afk? | 00:01 |
| sonicdevo | Anyone have experience with LVM? I'm having trouble setting it up | 00:01 |
| Jagoo | unop: must be in a typo in there somewhere, says: -bash: export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries": No such file or directory | 00:01 |
| tonohono | sarthor: What's the command you're entering in Ubuntu to connect via SSH? | 00:01 |
| Demonho-br | WDC, but is it a software .. can i use it in another lnx ? | 00:01 |
| rr73 | Who has scrollback of 20 minutes ago? | 00:01 |
| Jagoo | unop: the directory does in fact exist, copy pasted the path and cded to it | 00:01 |
| sarthor | tonohono, ssh sarthor@192.168.0.100 and then enter button | 00:01 |
| unop | Jagoo, you missing an echo from the command. | 00:01 |
| unop | Jagoo, echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries"' | sudo tee -a /etc/bash.bashrc | 00:01 |
| WDC | Demonho-br: Uh, no. It's a Ubuntu thing. | 00:01 |
| jsn | nobody else is having wireless device trouble today? | 00:01 |
| Demonho-br | WDC, thank you very much | 00:01 |
| tonohono | sarthor: And what error comes up? | 00:01 |
| WDC | Demonho-br: No problem | 00:02 |
| sarthor | no error. the terminal get hang | 00:02 |
| Demonho-br | WDC, sorry.. what is the command | 00:02 |
| WDC | jsn: I have seen SO MANY people with wireless issues. | 00:02 |
| Demonho-br | WDC, to run this "users and groups" | 00:02 |
| WDC | Demonho-br: I'm not sure of the command, but it's under system and Administration and at the bottom | 00:02 |
| rr73 | Who has logs of 20 minutes ago? | 00:02 |
| jsn | WDC: got link? | 00:02 |
| unop | Demonho-br, users-admin perhaps | 00:02 |
| Demonho-br | WDC, thank u | 00:02 |
| Demonho-br | unop, thanks | 00:02 |
| WDC | Demonho-br: Anytimne | 00:02 |
| WDC | jsn: Link? | 00:02 |
| sarthor | tonohono, i have mentioned in detail here http://www.linuxpakistan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6963 in the last post | 00:03 |
| adakos | I need some serious help. I reinstalled ubuntu server 6 LTS, and mounted one of my hard drives, it said it needed to check the hard drive -- now im missing LOTS and LOTS of files and folders... | 00:03 |
| jsn | WDC: Well, if it is biting a bunch of people today, maybe there is a link explaining it all, and maybe what to do. | 00:03 |
| Jagoo | unop: thanks, that worked, you have me quite puzzled tho, the resulting appending line from your command looked the same as the one I simply copy/pasted into the config | 00:03 |
| tonohono | sarthor: Ok. Try "ssh -vvv sarthorth@192.168.0.100" (Yes, 3 v's!). If a bunch shows up, upload output to pastebin or in the thread you linked. | 00:03 |
| Jagoo | yet, you way worked | 00:03 |
| jsn | adakos, what was the mount command you entered? | 00:03 |
| sarthor | tonohono, OK. | 00:04 |
| WDC | jsn: well, I haven't seen links, but I have seen about 4 people today, and 5 people yesterday wit' wireless issues. I didn't know how to help them, so I didn't engage | 00:04 |
| adakos | jsn: i used the mount command from the install menu. im not sure, let me check the fstab | 00:04 |
| kiosk | surabaya | 00:04 |
| jsn | adakos, maybe mtab, too | 00:04 |
| unop | Jagoo, so where exactly did you get this error then? i assumed it was at the shell? | 00:04 |
| jsn | I was just thinking that it might not be mounted at the same point, since you didn't say which files were missing. | 00:05 |
| jsn | Like, you mounted a subdevice where before you mounted the whole drive. | 00:05 |
| rr73 | How often are the irc logs updated online? | 00:05 |
| adakos | jsn: mounted /dev/sda1 /media/str1 ext defaults 0 2 | 00:05 |
| WDC | kc8cua, ki4yjl | 00:05 |
| Kalapoika | unop: the command did something and in the end the terminal gave | 00:05 |
| Kalapoika | ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build Empathy were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS? | 00:05 |

| unop | rr73, depends on the channel in question | 00:05 |
| adakos | jsn: i had 3 folders: movies, saved, tv | 00:05 |

| Jagoo | unop: nevermind, copy/pasting your exact suggestion did work, I am just puzzled why copypasting it into bash.bashrc didnt | 00:08 |
| jsn | adakos, not sure it will help. I really don't think mounting /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 would help, though, unless you have a non-standard volume manager | 00:08 |
| Jagoo | unop: and I mean copypasting the export command with path | 00:08 |

| rr73 | unop~ can you please search your scroll back for 25 minutes ago? | 00:09 |
| unop | Jagoo, you could have had quotes around the text you pasted - a side effect of some irc clients .. or just some general syntax error | 00:09 |
| jsn | alex101, have you googled "your sigma camera with model number" + "linux" ? | 00:09 |
| sharperguy | Right ok why does shit+backspace restart X/GNOME (not sure which) and more importantly how do I turn it off? | 00:09 |
| tonohono | sarthor: Alright, one moment | 00:09 |
| jsn | adakos, I was just thinking some volume manager might put stuff in the same folder on different partitions? | 00:09 |
| alex101 | Nope but if i do could you help? | 00:09 |
| sarthor | tonohono, if i connect lan cable to my ethernet, then i can access via ssh . .. hope it will clear the problem for you. | 00:09 |

| tonohono | sarthor: Alright. And does putty connect properly whether it is wired or wireless? | 00:11 |
| kevinO | sharperguy, if x freezes, then all you have to do is ctrl alt backspace so you dont have to hard reset your computer | 00:11 |
| adakos | jsn: i checked them all... nothing | 00:11 |

| jsn | adakos, well, then umount it and fsck. | 00:11 |
| alex101 | When i search the sigma cam n model number in google i dont find much of it that can help me. | 00:11 |
| jsn | alex101, AND "linux"? | 00:11 |
| alex101 | Yeah. | 00:11 |
| alex101 | Could you look aswell? | 00:12 |
| klndz03 | unop, I agree. | 00:12 |
| sharperguy | kevin083, That doesn't answer my question though. Shit+backspace seems to restart X/GNOME, forgetting about ctrl+alt+backspace | 00:12 |
| alex101 | Cuz i honestly cant find it ;/ | 00:12 |
| alex101 | jsn: and tbh, i dont want it to of been a waste of money. | 00:12 |
| jsn | alex101, well, try it with a different but similar model number | 00:12 |
| Johnny_5 | well doesn't seem 2 b workin' either... | 00:12 |

| Johnny_5 | to | 00:12 |
| jsn | alex101, you don't want to waste money? Geesh. gedt with the capitalist system! | 00:12 |
| kevinO | sharperguy, is it set as a keyobard shortcut? or is your ctrl key stuck? | 00:12 |
| Johnny_5 | doesn't seem to be workin' | 00:12 |
| klndz03 | unop, All because the power went out when it was updating... | 00:12 |
| jsn | adakos, and your remount and looking showed??? | 00:12 |
| sharperguy | kevin083, my ctrl key isn't stuck | 00:13 |

| adakos | jsn: would that have done it ? | 00:14 |
| tonohono | sarthor: I hope it's not too much trouble, but could you also pastebin the ssh -vvv when you connect via wired? It may help to compare the output for wired/wireless. | 00:14 |
| sharperguy | kevin083, And I have no idea if its set as a shortcut - it isn't in gnome anyway | 00:14 |
| jsn | adakos, did you mount it as the right type of fs? | 00:14 |
| gleyve | Can I customize my bootscreen? | 00:14 |
| sharperguy | kevin083, ah I think its got something to do with compiz-fusion | 00:14 |

| adakos | jsn: i set it to auto. shoudl i have set it manually ? | 00:14 |

| biped | ...doesn't display the file there, even though firefox DL manager finished without errors. What seems to be the problem here? | 00:35 |
| Alonea | woah...since when does broadcom make linux drivers for any of their wifi cards? | 00:36 |
| bcurtis | Expl0ited, I've been an IRC user (not necessarily on here) for along time. Not too many relationships i know if spawn from IRC convos. But e-harmony watch out! | 00:36 |
| Expl0ited | Alonea: manufacturers rarely make drivers for their products with linux, its outside programmers that do. | 00:37 |
| Alonea | Expl0ited: I found the driver inside a cab (exe) from the hp site. | 00:37 |
| Expl0ited | Alonea: welcome to the world of linux friendly HP | 00:38 |
| Expl0ited | I said rarely, HP is one of these exceptions. | 00:38 |
| Alonea | Expl0ited: and all of the release notes have broadcoms address and stuff. either way its nifty | 00:38 |
| Alonea | as long as it works. | 00:38 |
| user881 | im having some real problems getting my screen recognized by the nvidia drivers .. ive tried the help pages but am really stuck. could someone help me with this please? | 00:39 |
| Expl0ited | Alonea: ever heard of HPLIP? | 00:39 |
| Expl0ited | its a huge set of driver specifically for HP printers.. | 00:39 |
| Alonea | Expl0ited: no actually. but linux is very good with printers from them I have noticed | 00:40 |
| Alonea | Expl0ited: at least off the top of my head I have heard of hplip. | 00:40 |
| Alonea | have not | 00:40 |
| Alonea | Expl0ited: i need sleep... | 00:40 |
| foxynet | salut | 00:41 |
| Expl0ited | my work printer worked out of the box with linux, the windows users needed special software... | 00:41 |
| Slade | Expl0ited: are u using CUPS to handle printing? | 00:41 |
| Expl0ited | it was HP | 00:41 |
| Expl0ited | slade yeah I was | 00:41 |
| tuxice | HP is very good w/ printers | 00:41 |
| Alonea | Expl0ited: i have noticed that. more points for linux. ^__^ | 00:43 |

| SebNaitsabes | carlos: you install kubuntu which is KDE3 | 01:05 |
| purpleback | bastid_raZor: i installed gnome do and it said that when i press the windows key (superkey)+space it should activate it. | 01:05 |
| purpleback | nothing | 01:05 |

| tonohono | sarthor_: When following the guide at step 2, did you download the sp34152.exe file, or another one? | 01:08 |
| sarthor_ | another one. coz the file is not there. | 01:08 |
| sarthor_ | tonohono, ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/ | 01:08 |

| christopher_ | kelly, you can try the dd command | 01:09 |
| sarthor_ | tonohono, i downloaded ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe | 01:09 |
| gaile | what package/s we can use for ubunto server to monitor users activity? | 01:09 |
| HiZaM | guys i need help with wubi | 01:09 |
| HiZaM | guys | 01:10 |
| tonohono | sarthor_: Ah, ok. Because your card is revision (rev01) and not (rev02), you need to download wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33008.exe instead. | 01:10 |
| StudentDriver | certain graphics on firefox look blotchy when i'm using ubuntu as opposed to windows xp, does anyone know of any possible reasons for this? | 01:10 |

| sarthor_ | tonohono, and what will be steps again. and what change i will need to make. | 01:11 |
| tonohono | sarthor_: Follow the guide once more (I hope!) but replace the wget download link in the guide with the one I provided. You might encounter errors running the guide a second time, but ignore them, as you're only replacing existing settings with the same one. | 01:11 |
| newpers | where do i go for bleeding edge packages? | 01:11 |
| bastid_raZor | sarthor_; why are getting an exe file for ubuntu? | 01:11 |
| tonohono | sarthor_: The *only* change should be replacing the sp34125.exe download line with the one I linked :) | 01:11 |
| HiZaM | could anyone help me? | 01:12 |

| Chaotic_Descent | I'm trying to use something called esniper for sniper bidding on eBay and every time I run the command I get "segmentation fault" and it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what that might imply. | 01:22 |
| Penopticon | sniper bidding is forbidden | 01:22 |
| hololight | chaotic_decent: that is a problem with the program itself | 01:23 |
| sarthor | tonohono, still the same. i restarted the pc. after restarting i can access the net via wlan, but the ssh problem is there. and i think i will also not be able to use kismet. | 01:23 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I'm pretty sure I'm running the right command line and everything. it wants me to point it to files. | 01:23 |
| Chaotic_Descent | sniper bidding is not forbidden. | 01:23 |
| Teisei_ | mralexandro: Right click on the Workspace Switcher applet and select "Preferences" | 01:23 |

| mralexandro | it did not work | 01:23 |
| mralexandro | hmm | 01:23 |
| Teisei_ | You should see "Number of workspaces" there | 01:23 |
| mralexandro | i will check it out | 01:23 |
| Teisei_ | I know what you mean now | 01:23 |

| Chaotic_Descent | what's strange is I can't find any esniper file on my HD, despite being able to run it from the command prompt. so I don't know where it's even installed. | 01:24 |

| gaile | Slade: Ijust wanna know if some of my users are hacking others account... | 01:29 |
| bastid_raZor | baba_b00ie; gconf-editor | 01:30 |
| Slade | Well then you need to employ certain security policies/packages | 01:31 |
| Slade | gaile: figure out how open your system is, and then start locking it down. | 01:31 |
| Slade | gaile: are you working for some kind of web/shell hosting company? | 01:32 |
| BobPenguin | Hello. I get this in my logs: "GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed" Could some one give me a hint of what does that mean? | 01:32 |
| Slade | BobPenguin: that may be a question better suited for Google.com | 01:32 |
| crdlb | BobPenguin: it means that the app has a bug | 01:32 |
| gaile | Slade: i have to planned.. im doing these for trial only.. i need to know my wya around first | 01:32 |
| BobPenguin | thanks Slade and crdlb | 01:33 |
| crdlb | Slade: don't do that, please | 01:33 |
| Slade | crdlb: ? | 01:33 |
| purpleback | how do i get more than 2 work spaces? :3 | 01:33 |
| BobPenguin | It's ok, I searched at google first... | 01:33 |
| baba_b00ie | bastid_raZor, ty i figured it out | 01:33 |
| Slade | gaile: well, are you giving users access to shell accounts? | 01:33 |
| gaile | Slade: yes sir... | 01:34 |
| linxeh | gaile: "oops" | 01:34 |
| Teisei_ | purpleback: In Compiz or in Metacity ? | 01:34 |
| TubbyCat12 | is there a photo editor similar to ms paint? | 01:34 |
| bastid_raZor | baba_b00ie; cool, good luck | 01:34 |
| crdlb | BobPenguin: can you tell which app is causing it? | 01:34 |
| bastid_raZor | TubbyCat12; gimp | 01:34 |
| BobPenguin | purpleblack: right clik en the any space, go to preferences, change it to more that 3 | 01:34 |
| gaile | linxeh: hi | 01:34 |
| BobPenguin | let me see crdlb | 01:34 |
| mralexandro | Teisei_ it worked. i got 4 walls just by adjusting horizonal size to 4 | 01:34 |
| mralexandro | but whatever i did with the vertical it made no change | 01:34 |
| Teisei_ | mralexandro: Good to hear :) | 01:34 |
| linxeh | gaile: giving users that you dont personally know and trust shell accounts is a dangerous business, especially so if you arent experienced enough to correctly lock your machine down | 01:35 |
| Slade | gaile: ok. well look into chroot jails and stuff like that. Also, if you really wanna be strict, start changing non-common commands' groups into something else, and only give trusted users access to those groups. | 01:35 |
| Teisei_ | Yes | 01:35 |
| mralexandro | is it suposed to add workspaces to top and bottom of the cube | 01:35 |
| Slade | gaile: and there are utilities like tripwire, etc out there that can help you lock your stuff down. | 01:36 |
| Slade | yo bobertdos | 01:36 |
| bobertdos | Hey, Slade! | 01:36 |
| Teisei_ | I don't really know | 01:36 |
| gaile | linxeh and Slade: im going it as trial | 01:36 |
| zboy417 | hey everyone, on my Toshiba A135-S4527 how do i make the volume wheel change the volume less? | 01:36 |
| hololight | tubbycat12: actually The GIMP is closer to photoshop than to ms paint | 01:36 |
| kindofabuzz | i set my default to thunar but some folders still open up with nautilus. any ideas? | 01:36 |
| Teisei_ | Maybe they show up if you are using Expo plugin | 01:36 |
| Slade | gaile: understandable, but you don't want your system to become compromised... trial or not. | 01:36 |
| crdlb | mralexandro: no, the top and bottom cannot be used as workspaces | 01:36 |
| BobPenguin | crdbl: I do not know really how to read logs. Is "gdm[5672]" an application? The whole line reads: "Aug 19 04:02:21 Maggi gdm[5672]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed " | 01:36 |
| crdlb | mralexandro: vertical is meant for the Wall plugin only | 01:36 |
| hololight | tubbycat12: try searching 'add/remove programs' or synaptic for "paint" | 01:36 |
| mralexandro | ok i see, thanks:) | 01:37 |
| Slade | BobPenguin: gdm = Gnome Display Manager | 01:37 |
| Teisei_ | crdlb: I bet it works with Expo too ? | 01:37 |
| hololight | bobpenguin gdm handles login and related functions | 01:37 |
| crdlb | Teisei_: yes, but that's not really userfriendly :) | 01:37 |
| Slade | BobPenguin: that's the thing that gives you the graphical login window for gnome...when your computer start. | 01:37 |
| Teisei_ | That's true ^^; | 01:37 |
| Teisei_ | But Vista has only one desktop, and it isn't userfriendly | 01:38 |
| gaile | Slade: got that.. :) thanks guys.. but please do let me know any packages that can log all users activity.. | 01:38 |
| BobPenguin | thanks Slade and Hololight. Should I care about the bug? Does it represent a danger of some sort? | 01:38 |
| Slade | BobPenguin: are you able to login ok | 01:38 |
| BobPenguin | yeah slade | 01:38 |
| Slade | gaile: all logging stuff is done in /var/log | 01:38 |
| Slade | common messages are in /var/log/messages | 01:38 |
| Slade | daemon (process) logs are in /var/log/daemon.log | 01:39 |
| zboy417 | On my Toshiba A135-S4527 when i use the volume wheel it changes the volume really fast...is there a way to slow this down? | 01:39 |
| hololight | BobPenguin: it could, it could not (i am think security); but if everything works.... | 01:39 |
| mralexandro | My first time using ubuntu properly. just want to say. great service and a great OS impression so far. thanks for the help and i guess i will be back ehre alot:) | 01:39 |
| gaile | Slade and linxeh: guys you know website toturials for web/shell hosting? appreciate it guys.. | 01:39 |
| simps | Can anyone suggest a nice VM App to run on Ubuntu? | 01:39 |
| hololight | simps: virtualBox is my fav | 01:39 |
| Slade | gaile: just do a standard search. Though if i were you, I'd go to amazon, barnes and nobles, etc... and look for linux security books. | 01:40 |
| greg_universe_ | i use vbox too | 01:40 |
| linxeh | gaile: google, but I'd advise you take a course in unix security. this is a nightmare. there is a reason few web hosts give shell access | 01:40 |
| BobPenguin | Thanks Hololight. I also have a warning on the application "gdmgreeter[5998]". Guess it is related to login as well. Everything seems to work right. Should I worry about that one? | 01:40 |
| simps | hololight, greg_universe_, virtualbox-ose under synaptic package manager. install that? | 01:40 |
| gaile | Slade: never thought about that.. ok i'll well do that.. | 01:41 |
| Slade | gaile: it's the best reference you'll have | 01:41 |
| greg_universe_ | actually i went to teh site and installed teh deb package | 01:41 |
| jhon007 | hi | 01:41 |
| gaile | linxeh: yah im googling it now, i will take your advise guys.. appreciate it.. | 01:41 |
| gaile | Slade and linxeh: thank you guys... | 01:42 |
| mcw | haaaaaaaaaaaaaay | 01:42 |
| Dr_willis | greg_universe_, that may or may not of installed the proper 'modules' the kernel needs for virtualbox. | 01:42 |
| BobPenguin | Thanks a lot, Slade, Hololight, crdbl for your kind help! UBUNTU FOREVER! | 01:42 |
| linxeh | well, at least until the next big thing comes along :) | 01:42 |
| z1 | Gnea: my programs still freeze up but the usb problem seems to be fixed | 01:43 |
| Slade | gaile: no problem. Even though you're using Ubuntu, you can check out other distro's security books too. You never know what you might learn | 01:43 |
| Slade | BobPenguin: You're welcome | 01:43 |
| linxeh | gaile: I would look at debian security stuff too - more likely to find hardening stuff there imo | 01:43 |
| === z1 is now known as zz | ||
| mcw | how do you download and install programs from the internet and what form of zipped file is used for ubuntu | 01:43 |
| mcw | tar ect.... | 01:44 |
| gaile | linxeh and Slade: im writing it down now.. im gonna try that... | 01:44 |
| linxeh | mcw: the main way is from the repositories that ubuntu uses by default. packages are in .deb format | 01:44 |
| Slade | mcw: apt-get will get you packages if you know their names. tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, and rar | 01:44 |
| linxeh | mcw: have a look at the synaptic manager, or the command line apt-get / apt-search tools | 01:44 |
| SilverWolf | Hi, is there a way i can restore the default apache2 configurations files?, when i delete the /etc/apache2 dir and removes/install apache2 package, the configuration is not installed again | 01:44 |
| hololight | mcw: .deb for pre compiled packages, .tar.gz usually for source | 01:44 |
| frostbyt3 | RequinB4: can you finish helping me, I'm at the part where it wants me to add bcm43xx to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file | 01:44 |
| * gaile ok guys gtg.. i'll be back if i have some questions that might pop up :) thanks to you both.. | 01:44 | |
| Slade | mcw: try the Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) | 01:44 |
| zz | in 8.04 ubuntu my programs seem to not respond and go grey and are really slow and won't start some of them | 01:44 |
| linxeh | hololight: or .deb for source :) | 01:45 |
| RequinB4 | frostbyt3: what is the problem | 01:45 |
| mcw | what do you do with them (how do you open them after you have down loaded them) | 01:45 |
| * Slade is not a fan of pre-compiled packages. | 01:45 | |
| zz | I can't even login after I kill gdm/xserver and no sound whatsover | 01:45 |
| joecurlee | hi all, using ubuntu 8.04... can't get a static wireless connection to my linksys router | 01:45 |
| joecurlee | any suggestions? | 01:45 |
| foug | i'm having trouble with ping and traceroute. Ping gives me 100% packet loss, and traceroute doesn't do anything. I've installed the traceroute package | 01:45 |
| linxeh | mcw: the apt tools install them for you and manage the packages. | 01:45 |
| Slade | mcw: well, using the graphical way, right click on the app, go to the archive manager and use that | 01:46 |
| mcw | synaptic package manager | 01:46 |
| frostbyt3 | when im adding a line do i have to put the # sign? | 01:46 |
| zz | xvzf path | 01:46 |
| frostbyt3 | in gedit | 01:46 |
| TJ-Linux | I have a .flp floppy drive image and need to get a file from it, but I have no floppy drive to create a floppy on -- how do I mount this as a drive? | 01:46 |
| Slade | mcw: or, command line ... tar zxvf file.tar.gz or tar jxvf file.tar.bz(2), or unrar/unzip file.rar or file.zip | 01:46 |
| joecurlee | i'm using system > administration > network to set a static ip address... can't ping google or anything else | 01:46 |
| mcw | I already know how to use that but what if a program is zipped tar. ect..... | 01:46 |
| Esqulax | A bit of donut has gotten jammed between the keys on my keyboard. do i leave it or try to poke it out with a pencil? | 01:46 |
| zz | Esqulax: buy a new keyboard | 01:47 |
| joker | how come you can not install a rpm on a Debian sys | 01:47 |
| linxeh | mcw: if its not on synaptic, then you normally will be building it from source code - ie a .tar.gz | 01:47 |
| zz | rpm is fedora | 01:47 |
| quio | Hi Everybody. Anyone kn ow a good app that can play a section of an mp3 song on repeat? | 01:47 |
| linxeh | joker: you can | 01:47 |
| joecurlee | Esqulax: lick it out and put the pics on the internet | 01:47 |
| wasabi | You can with caveats. | 01:47 |
| mcw | what do you open it with and what do you unzip it with | 01:47 |
| s3a | joker: install a package called alien | 01:47 |
| hololight | joker: you can in some cases.... you need a program called alien | 01:47 |
| s3a | joker: u can use that to convert a .rpm to a .deb | 01:47 |
| sajid | I am having a very odd problem: my computer seems to think the "L" key is always pressed, but only in certain contexts. I have <Super>+L mapped to Lock Screen, so If I press <Super> it locks the screen, but it doesn't incessently type "L" in a text box | 01:47 |
| joker | I tryed rpm -i will not | 01:47 |
| Slade | joker: because rpm is really built for redhat linux and its sub-distros | 01:47 |
| sajid | anyone have idea? | 01:47 |
| linxeh | joker: but normally you dont want to. RPM is for redhat. yuck. .deb is for debian/ubuntu - mmmmmm : | 01:47 |
| mcw | I don't know how to compile source code yet | 01:47 |
| linxeh | joker: good. dont install rpms on ubuntu. ubuntu is ubuntu, not fedora | 01:48 |
| elec | tea.com | 01:48 |
| Esqulax | source code? gcc | 01:48 |
| Slade | mcw: What are you trying to install? | 01:48 |
| mcw | afraid to screw something up | 01:48 |
| joker | I tryed the Tar file but it will not install | 01:48 |
| hololight | joker: alien (tries) to turn a rpm into a deb | 01:48 |
| linxeh | joker: what are you trying to install... ? | 01:48 |
| joker | Ever tryed to install affix | 01:48 |
| Esqulax | Screw it up.. s'all part of learning :) | 01:48 |
| Slade | joker: you need to extract the tar file. tar zxvf file.tar.gz | 01:48 |
| quio | Hi Everybody. Anyone know a good app that can play a section of an mp3 song on repeat? | 01:48 |
| zz | on my 8.04 ubuntu my programs run slow and don't start and after i kill xserver (ctrl\alt\backspace) I login but i get my background screen for login manager | 01:48 |
| joker | I did that part | 01:48 |
| linxeh | Esqulax: for some people - they reckon 30% of people can't learn from mistakes though due to low levels of dopamine :o | 01:48 |
| mcw | nothing it's just the only thing I can't figure out in ubuntu | 01:48 |
| Esqulax | Yep. an ipod | 01:48 |
| linxeh | joker: what are you trying to install ? | 01:49 |
| mcw | that and how wine works | 01:49 |
| greg_universe_ | lol | 01:49 |
| joker | Affix kernel | 01:49 |
| Esqulax | 60% of stats are made up ;) | 01:49 |
| HiZaM | wasn't it 80% | 01:49 |
| bobertdos | quio: You could accomplish that with Audacity. | 01:49 |
| linxeh | Esqulax: if you are going to quote something, quote it right | 01:49 |
| hololight | lol | 01:49 |
| Slade | mcw: well, again. in terminal type tar zxvf /path/to/file (ie tar zxvf /home/mcw/myfile.tar.gz) | 01:49 |
| joker | And I come up with major err | 01:49 |
| Slade | then, cd /home/mcw/myfile | 01:49 |
| Slade | then, ./configure && make && make install | 01:49 |
| Esqulax | Hey.. it was quoted from me. They got it wrong | 01:49 |
| mcw | what does that do? | 01:49 |
| joker | brb | 01:49 |
| mcw | open it | 01:49 |
| Slade | mcw: extracts, configures, and installs | 01:50 |
| Esqulax | Wow. IanIan. i know an Ian Ian | 01:50 |
| mcw | so you have to remember that command | 01:50 |
| Slade | mcw: give it a week or two.. it'll become second nature :) | 01:50 |
| linxeh | mcw: that works if the source was designed to be compiled that way. usually there is an INSTALL File in the zip, or instructions on the website | 01:50 |
| zz | Slade it depends on the program as well, some don't need make install and isnt it sude make install? | 01:51 |
| mcw | thank you you are nicer than some of these people on here | 01:51 |
| zz | sde -> sudo | 01:51 |
| linxeh | zz: depends where the install target deploys to | 01:51 |
| linxeh | generally NEVER run sudo make anything without reading the Makefile to see what it does | 01:51 |
| Slade | zz: yeah. i always forget the sudo. I come from a background where i always have root to install :) | 01:51 |
| dreamzr4u | hi, this is raj and i have a query regarding ubuntu | 01:51 |
| === greg_universe_ is now known as greg_universe | ||
| linxeh | dreamzr4u: ask away :) | 01:51 |
| zz | linxeh: my programs run slow and after killing my xserver and logging in i get the background for the login manager | 01:52 |
| dreamzr4u | grub loading then error 15 | 01:52 |
| joecurlee | so yea... ubuntu 8.04, static wireless connection to linksys won't work | 01:52 |
| joecurlee | can't find info on google | 01:52 |
| mcw | I just want to be able to do anything I can do in windows on linux and it seems like ubuntu is the best distro because I have tried out allot of the other distros | 01:52 |
| mcw | installed and tried | 01:53 |
| Slade | mcw: ubuntu is nice. | 01:53 |
| joecurlee | dhcp wireless works fine | 01:53 |
| mcw | it seems to have the most support | 01:53 |
| Slade | mcw: i'd start by searching the web for a beginners course in linux. It'll give you the basics. | 01:53 |
| Esqulax | mcw: windows will always have a certain amount of muscle, but you can do more with linux | 01:53 |
| linxeh | joecurlee: I had that problem I think - I think it is to do with the linksys wanting you to use uPNP to register the address, but not sure, DHCP seems to work fine | 01:53 |
| zz | linxeh: they don't even run, I get a white blank box if i clicked for a terminal, the panals won't respond(pager,trash) | 01:53 |
| Esqulax | ubuntu is cool cos it pretty much works straight of on my wind :) | 01:54 |
| mcw | I have a dual boot dual hd system vista and linux ubuntu studio because I am a musician | 01:54 |
| joecurlee | linxeh thanks | 01:54 |
| linxeh | joecurlee: that might be a red herring though :o | 01:54 |
| joecurlee | linxeh looks like that might be the issue looking in to it now | 01:54 |
| mcw | and an artist | 01:54 |
| Esqulax | mcw: i found garage band on Leopard (Mac OSX) was awesome for that | 01:54 |
| linxeh | zz: no idea sorry, I'd check from a console what programs are still running when you log out, maybe either reboot or restart gdm | 01:55 |
| zz | gdm restart doesnt fix it | 01:55 |
| mcw | but computers are new to me all that I know is from what people have taught me and from what I have read | 01:55 |
| linxeh | zz: or stop gdm, kill all lingering X / gnome related processes, and try again | 01:55 |
| zz | im using finch right now in a virtual tty linxeh | 01:55 |
| linxeh | mcw: I'm a musician too | 01:55 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: so you hardly have any Windows experience even? | 01:56 |
| linxeh | zz: I'm not an ubuntu expert, I just use it at home - by day I'm using Redhat enterprise and other unix systems, and just sit here to help where I can, sorry :o | 01:56 |
| Esqulax | mcw: fair enough. Wehn you get a chance niip into a nearby Apple store and ask to be shown garage band.. once your over the 1st hurdle, its really great | 01:56 |
| mcw | can I use garage band in linux or windows or do I have to install mac os on an amd or an intell | 01:56 |
| mcw | ? | 01:56 |
| linxeh | mcw: garageband is osx only, and you can only run it on macs (legally) | 01:56 |
| zz | linxeh: but it is constant, i think Gnea helped my usb problems though, might as well edit my grub | 01:56 |
| linxeh | there is ardour for linux though | 01:56 |
| mcw | no I have about 4 years windows experience and 1 year linux | 01:57 |
| zz | :-P | 01:57 |
| evild_ | The trash icon used to be in the bottom right hand corner of my screen in Ubuntu. I accidentally removed it and dont know how to get it back there. Can anyone help? | 01:57 |
| xinnix | you could probaly run it inside a VM OSX | 01:57 |
| xinnix | as well | 01:57 |
| linxeh | xinnix: not legally | 01:57 |
| zz | evild_: right click and add aplet as trash i beleif | 01:57 |
| Esqulax | If your systems up to it | 01:57 |
| mcw | but I just took an a+ course wich helped a little bit | 01:57 |
| hololight | mcw: as a general rule, mac apps will only work on a mac, and it takes serious skill and a lot of time to get mac osx to run on a non-mac (I scragged a hd trying) | 01:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: you can run Windows inside a virtual machine inside Linux if there is a good reason. say, because of some program that won't work in Wine | 01:58 |
| KRF | linxeh, thats not legal? | 01:58 |
| solexious | [Q] Not all programs use the usb device set in system->prefs-> sound. Any ideas? | 01:58 |
| evild_ | right click where? | 01:58 |
| dreamzr4u | hey guys i am getting an "grub loading plaease wait error 15 " | 01:58 |
| linxeh | KRF: well, not if you beleive in the legality of EULAs | 01:58 |
| KRF | linxeh, windows either? | 01:58 |
| xinnix | legal...lol | 01:58 |
| xinnix | *legall | 01:58 |
| linxeh | KRF: running windows in a VM is fine | 01:58 |
| crimsun | solexious: because that setting only affects GStreamer-based applications. It doesn't actually set the default audio device for non-GSt-based apps. | 01:58 |
| KRF | okay... | 01:58 |
| mcw | I don't really understand vm ware yet I understand how it works in theory but have never used it yet is it free? | 01:59 |
| hololight | xinnix: what is this "legal" you speak of? | 01:59 |
| zz | evild_: down where trash used to be | 01:59 |
| KRF | mcw, yes | 01:59 |

| zz | something in taking over my computer | 02:00 |
| solexious | crimsun, just hit asoundconf in shell? | 02:00 |
| linxeh | Esqulax: its a word that civilised society uses to denote something that is unacceptable to the population as a whole :P | 02:00 |
| evild_ | lol :\ | 02:00 |
| KRF | mcw, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox - its easy to setup imo | 02:00 |
| evild_ | i guess its not all that big of a deal i just go to places/home folder and there trash is | 02:00 |
| mcw | I relly like linux though the fact that it doesn't get viruses and all that | 02:00 |
| frostbyt3 | can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do | 02:00 |
| xinnix | iam still trying to figure out how to change user from root in a shell and switch to a new one | 02:00 |
| linxeh | mcw: it will get viruses at some point | 02:01 |
| duiu | Is there a way to use anacron or cron so that something runs after something else finishes? | 02:01 |
| crimsun | solexious: a bit more involved than that, but yes, essentially that's the workflow. | 02:01 |
| xinnix | i love linux | 02:01 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: Linux is not immune to viruses | 02:01 |
| mcw | that's vm ware running in linux? | 02:01 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: just as of right now hardly any viruses will work on a modern Linux | 02:01 |
| KRF | mcw, nearly. | 02:01 |
| solexious | crimsun, okies doie, will google | 02:01 |
| solexious | crimsun, ty | 02:01 |
| xinnix | did i mention I LOVE LINUX | 02:01 |
| KRF | if you're familar with vmware, use that | 02:01 |
| mcw | or windows or mac os running i vm ware on linux? | 02:01 |
| xinnix | especially the bactrack distro's | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | linux is a very 'harsh' enviroment for a virus to live in. :) | 02:01 |
| xinnix | running it on windows | 02:01 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: you cannot just run Mac OS X on a PC it is not like the others | 02:02 |
| zz | hey Dr_willis | 02:02 |
| xinnix | VMing the linux enviornments | 02:02 |
| thenetduck | how can I check to see if I am running a 64 bit operating system in my live session? | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | zz, hay. | 02:02 |
| thenetduck | is there a terminal command that can tell me? | 02:02 |
| mcw | ok | 02:02 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: it is possible to get Mac OS X running on a PC, but that is more complacated | 02:02 |
| zz | thenetduck: uname -a | 02:02 |
| hololight | one thing to remember about vm's though, they do not 'emulate' 3d accelerators | 02:02 |
| frostbyt3 | can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do | 02:02 |
| dreamzr4u | hey ppl .. does anyone know abt the error 15 while loading grub? | 02:02 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: and then it probably won't run as good as on real Mac hardware | 02:02 |
| linxeh | Dr_willis: not really - it would be easy to code something up that ran gksudo and ask for the users password, and most users that get viruses on Windows would be just as vulnerable... | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | hololight, vmware and virtualbox i hear are 'working' on that. | 02:02 |
| thenetduck | zz: thank you | 02:02 |
| === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja | ||
| zz | Dr_willis: gnome seems to be locking up | 02:02 |
| KRF | dreamzr4u, can have various reasons | 02:02 |
| KRF | !grub | 02:02 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:02 |
| zz | thenetduck: did that work? it shows kernel information | 02:03 |
| KRF | dreamzr4u, try to read through that or google your error | 02:03 |
| mcw | I haven't even figured out how to use all the paackages or programs on ubuntu studio yet | 02:03 |
| dreamzr4u | KRF : i had installed 6.06 on a old dell and after rebooting it gives that msg | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | linxeh, then we start getting into the argument of a 'virus' vs a 'trojan' and so forth. we had a huge discussion/flamefest of this the other week in here. :) so i aint even going to start. | 02:03 |
| mcw | but I'm an awsome guitarist | 02:03 |
| KRF | dreamzr4u, thats pretty old, tho | 02:03 |
| dreamzr4u | KRF,I went thru google and it asks me to use a grub boot disk | 02:03 |
| xinnix | bye everyone bbl | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | linxeh, the weakest link - will always be the end user. :) | 02:03 |
| * Pelo always shows up to seem the most obscure comments | 02:03 | |
| mcw | and can play bass and drums and keyboards too | 02:03 |
| dreamzr4u | KRF, i have 7.10 and 8.04 but it is not getting recognized by the dell :( | 02:04 |
| KRF | dreamzr4u, i'd suggest to upgrade anyway | 02:04 |
| KRF | oh | 02:04 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: and you can get a lot of Windows programs working well on Linux with Wine | 02:04 |
| KRF | dunno then, grub is a beast | 02:04 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: a WIndows virtual machine should be a last resort :) | 02:04 |
| Pelo | anyone know of a series of test images to setup a monitor's light contrast and colours properly ? | 02:04 |
| dreamzr4u | KRF, my HP has 8.04 and it is cool | 02:04 |
| dreamzr4u | but thedell is giving probs | 02:04 |
| adakos | howdy folks. does anyone know of a good way to batch encode DVDs? im looking to turn my entire movie collection into a digital archive. I've got 100 movies and ive been ripping them to my hardddrive over the past week, so now ive got close to 4TiB of dvd images ... looking for a batch command =) | 02:04 |
| linxeh | Dr_willis: yep. ok, no reason a virus cant live in userspace, or exploit some dodgy daemon - its not immune, but the risks are less than on windows granted :) | 02:05 |
| ganymede | hello, does anyone if ubuntu stays up to date with the newest fglrx? the fglrx package for hardy seems to be 8.3, which gives me a lot of diagonal tearing problems. is there a easy way to install a newer version with the package manager, or must i do it manually? | 02:05 |
| evild_ | Anyone know of a good keylogger for Ubuntu? | 02:05 |
| linxeh | evild_: ouch. | 02:05 |
| thenetduck | zz: yes, it worked perfectly | 02:05 |
| zz | yay I helped someone! | 02:05 |
| dreamzr4u | any ideas on how i make a grub boot disk using a usb stick? | 02:05 |
| SebNaitsabes | !grub | 02:05 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:05 |
| thenetduck | zz: I am having a problem though. I am trying to delete my old ubuntu partition with partition editor but it doesn't seem to work | 02:05 |
| zz | thenetduck: doesnt seem to work how? | 02:06 |
| * SebNaitsabes what happended to the mods in this channel? | 02:06 | |
| mcw | I'd rather a dual boot untill I understand better | 02:06 |
| thenetduck | zz: It tells me : Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than ..... when I try to delete it | 02:06 |
| Flannel | SebNaitsabes: eh? | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | linxeh, then ya got the argument ' if the virus is expliting a bug in some service' is it actually a 'linux virus' :) but theres tons of threads/flamefests on this topic. some actually have some good info. most dont. :) | 02:06 |
| frostbyt3 | thenetduck: are you running vista | 02:06 |
| mcw | that way I['m not stuck with either | 02:06 |
| frostbyt3 | can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do | 02:06 |
| SebNaitsabes | Flannel: there you are :D I think your a mod yes | 02:06 |
| thenetduck | frostbyt3: my first partition is vista yes | 02:06 |
| mcw | yes | 02:06 |
| mcw | vista is new to me as well | 02:07 |
| zz | mcw: i have a dual boot with windows as not my first hardrive, but physically it is, i don't boot off of the primary | 02:07 |
| arcos | i need help connecting to a wireless printer on my wifi network, how do you do it? | 02:07 |
| SebNaitsabes | Flannel: where's jack sparrow and people like that? | 02:07 |
| Bruners | What is the recommended partition size for ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| zz | mcw: took me a week to figure out how to fix grub | 02:07 |
| Flannel | Bruners: you need at least 2.1G + space for personal files | 02:08 |
| mcw | I choose my boot from the boot menu f8 | 02:08 |
| frostbyt3 | thenetduck: go here: http://vista.blorge.com/2008/02/22/how-to-dual-boot-vista-with-ubuntu/ and just delete, and re allocate it | 02:08 |
| Flannel | Bruners: I think 4G is the "recommended" minimum | 02:08 |
| thenetduck | thank you | 02:08 |
| frostbyt3 | yep | 02:08 |
| zz | mcw: I choose it froma nice splash-screened grub menu :-D | 02:08 |
| mcw | I wouldn't know how to fix a grub I would just reinstall | 02:08 |
| mralexandro | can i create a shortcut to a folder on my windows disk on the ubuntu desktop? | 02:08 |
| zz | Dr_willis: any ideas where to start with my gnome locking up problem? | 02:09 |
| Flannel | SebNaitsabes: Around. Always watching... | 02:09 |
| adakos | can anyone tell me how to batch convert dvd images to divx/xvid? (im trying to get my video library to my harddrive) or even where to start looking? | 02:09 |
| mcw | same hard drive or dual boot on the same hard drive | 02:09 |
| dreamzr4u | "secondary hard disk drive 0 not found " any ideas folks? | 02:09 |
| SebNaitsabes | Flannel: oh right ok | 02:09 |
| Uplink | what application do i need to start programing in C/C++? im a beginner | 02:09 |
| Bruners | Flannel: thanks | 02:09 |
| SebNaitsabes | Uplink: Dev C++ is good | 02:09 |
| th0r | adakos, mount the iso images using fuseiso then rip them using acidrip | 02:09 |
| zz | mcw: triple boot on three different hardrives, two constant systems and an extra smaller hd to experiment | 02:09 |
| zelrikriando | Uplink, emacs | 02:09 |
| mcw | I have two hard drives and two computers and a kvm switch as well confusing? | 02:09 |
| ^Someone^ | I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found | 02:09 |
| frostbyt3 | can someone help me add a line to a file in gedit | 02:10 |
| mcw | cool!!! | 02:10 |
| ^Someone^ | And indeed, I can't find any sqlite .h files anywhere | 02:10 |
| zz | mcw: i use a kvm as well, but i am taking this one with me. the other two are staying home | 02:10 |
| Uplink | SebNaitsabes, Dev C++? isnt that for windows? | 02:10 |
| zelrikriando | SebNaitsabes, what s Dev C++ ? | 02:10 |
| arcos | can someone help me with printer issues | 02:10 |
| Uplink | zelrikriando, emacs is for C and C++? | 02:10 |
| Flannel | Uplink: As far as IDEs go, check out anjuta, or eclipse (with cdt) | 02:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | Uplink: what I am thinking of I think runs on Linux as well | 02:10 |
| Wizard2694 | can someone tell walk me through mounting my external hdd drive | 02:10 |
| Wizard2694 | its usb 2.0 | 02:10 |
| adakos | thOr/th0r: i have close to 100 images. is that the easiest way ? | 02:10 |
| mcw | I tried that with three hard drives windows, vista, and ubuntu | 02:10 |
| Wizard2694 | ntfs format | 02:10 |
| zelrikriando | Uplink, emacs is just a text editor :p | 02:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | Uplink: open up syanpatic package manager and search for C++ or look under programming that's an idea | 02:11 |
| th0r | adakos, I don't know of any other | 02:11 |
| zelrikriando | Uplink, but that's all you need right? :p | 02:11 |
| Uplink | ok thank you | 02:11 |
| zz | mcw: i still didnt get rid of the windows bootloader | 02:11 |
| Uplink | a compiler... isnt it? i wanna start learning how to program in C/C++ | 02:11 |
| adakos | thOr/th0r: fair enough, thanks. ill look into it :) | 02:11 |
| Wizard2694 | can anyone help me out? | 02:11 |
| ilembitov | Hi, all. I have a question. I want to have fresher apps than those currently in 8.04 but don't want to use Intrepid repos. And getdeb.net isn't fresh enough either. Is there any repo with newer apps? Not things like toolchain. But I want Banshee 1.2.1, Transmission 1.32, Pidgin 2.5.0 and so on | 02:11 |
| baba_b00ie | when i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had hdb1 as ex3 now i formatted it to fat32. how do i reflect those changes for automount during boot | 02:11 |
| carandraug | Wizard2694, fisrt make a directory to mount the hd | 02:11 |
| Flannel | Uplink: Indeed, you'll need a compiler. install build-essential, and you'll have the compiler and stuff. | 02:11 |
| mcw | but the windows was a 10 gig that was old and started to make clicking noises so I got rid of it!! | 02:11 |
| * Slade wonders how many workspaces his computer can support :) | 02:11 | |
| hololight | uplink: I really recommend using a text editor to begin with and use g++ from the cli to compile | 02:12 |
| Flannel | ilembitov: No | 02:12 |
| carandraug | Wizard2694, yes | 02:12 |
| titanhoss | so, is atheros wifi working for 64 bit yet? | 02:12 |
| th0r | adakos, why rip them if they are already iso files? just mount them with fuseiso and watch them | 02:12 |
| * zz cheers Slade on, GO GO GO GO!!! | 02:12 | |
| SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: no don't think so, but if you do for example the winheq.org for wine you will at least always have the latest Wine for Ubuntu | 02:12 |
| ^Someone^ | Repeat: I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found | 02:12 |
| Flannel | ilembitov: Well, the apps might have repos for themselves, winehq keeps a wine repo for instance. | 02:12 |
| linxeh | Uplink: you need to install gcc and g++ (probably build-essential) and some kind of editor. you might want to look at an IDE later on once you know how things work - try joining #C++ or similar | 02:12 |
| Uplink | Flannel, i have build-essential... but i dont see it where to open it | 02:12 |
| Slade | zz: nah, im too lazy. 4 workspaces is enough for me | 02:12 |
| zz | I am sick of having to basicly shut down my system everytime gnome locks up | 02:12 |
| adakos | thOr/th0r: they are taking up most of my serverspace. i have around 100 iso's and they are between 3.6~5.6 GiB each | 02:12 |
| Flannel | Uplink: you don't open it, compilers are command line things. Which is why you probably want an IDE | 02:12 |
| carandraug | Wizard2694, create a directory to mount it, for example mkdir /media/drive/ | 02:13 |
| mcw | I understand what things are but I don't always know how to use them or how to get there | 02:13 |
| ilembitov | Damn. I wish Ubuntu backports were more active... | 02:13 |
| Uplink | !ide | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ide | 02:13 |
| Uplink | uhhh :S | 02:13 |
| Uplink | what is IDE? | 02:13 |
| linxeh | Uplink: integrated development environment. you dont want it yet | 02:13 |
| Flannel | Uplink: anjuta or eclipse (with -cdt) | 02:13 |
| th0r | adakos, agreed. I have converted many of mine to avi files for the same reason. But I don't know an easy or batch method | 02:13 |
| SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: I belive Fedora Core is more on the cutting edge when it comes to new programs then Ubuntu is | 02:13 |
| linxeh | Flannel: not yet :/ he's new. he needs to know how things work first | 02:13 |
| Uplink | ok let me google all this programs ty | 02:13 |
| Wizard2694 | where do i do that from? | 02:13 |
| adakos | thOr/th0r: i just moved into an apartment with 5 other guys, and they are slobs. I want to put my movies up on my server so they can watch them over the network, and keep their grubby hands off my collection! | 02:13 |
| * zz throws an IDE cable at linxeh | 02:13 | |
| zelrikriando | Uplink, emacs and a compiler and a good C++ book is all you need for now...really | 02:13 |
| linxeh | Uplink: do not use eclise or anjuta yet imo - lots of black magic will happen otherwise | 02:14 |
| Uplink | so Flannel, what exactly do i need? im about to start learning C/C++ | 02:14 |
| linxeh | gedit and a compiler will do for now | 02:14 |
| ilembitov | SebNaisabes: Yes, I know. That's why I prefer Fedora more. But they make the toolchain bleeding-edge, too, which isn't nice | 02:14 |
| Wizard2694 | ok | 02:14 |
| linxeh | and a terminal | 02:14 |
| zelrikriando | linxeh, gedit sucks | 02:14 |
| Flannel | Uplink: Suggest you move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, its sort of half out of scope of this channel | 02:14 |
| titanhoss | ahh, too busy I guess. | 02:14 |
| SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: and the Ubuntu repos are based on Debian as a result a lot of stuff is weill behind | 02:14 |
| * zz throws a pythong interpretor at linxeh | 02:14 | |
| linxeh | zelrikriando: I'm an emacs fan too. lets not get into emacs with beginners either... | 02:14 |
| Uplink | sorry its just that a lot of ppl recommending different applications... im quite confused which one to use | 02:14 |
| carandraug | Wizard2694, if your problem is because when you try to mount it automatically it complains and says to force it, it's because you didn't removed it properly from Windows | 02:14 |
| hololight | uplink: (i am sure i will get yelled at for this...) and ide has a lot of shortcuts and other things to make a developers life easier. you should likely be working from scratch if you are just beginning | 02:14 |
| frostbyt3 | flannel: thank you no ones helping | 02:14 |
| baba_b00ie | when i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had hdb1 as ex3 now i formatted it to fat32. how do i reflect those changes for automount during boot | 02:15 |
| biouser | http://www.songtrellis.com/sounds/viewer$3919 can someone please tell me what is going on with this media? | 02:15 |
| zz | is anyone having trouble with gnome locking up and no programs working properly ie they all turn grey | 02:15 |
| Wizard2694 | that is when i turn it on | 02:15 |
| zelrikriando | linxeh, I stick with nedit for some reason, I really hate gedit | 02:15 |
| Wizard2694 | how do i remove it first | 02:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: you could probably use the Debian repo in Ubuntu and get later versions of programs like that, but some may not work on Ubuntu or cause problems | 02:15 |
| Wizard2694 | im too used to windows and trying to understand this now | 02:15 |
| ilembitov | SebNaitsabes: Debian is nice in this terms, but it won't really get updated until Lenny, it's all Frozen until September | 02:15 |
| Flannel | Uplink: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll help | 02:15 |
| Wizard2694 | it just says unable to mount | 02:15 |
| hololight | uplink: the default text editor you recieved with ubuntu will do syntax highlighting for c++, then you can compile from the command line | 02:15 |
| adakos | I have a command-line program, i want to pass the same parameters to a whole bunch of files, what's the easist way to do a batch command? (i know in winxp i could make a *.bat file) -- is there something similar for linux ? | 02:15 |
| ^Someone^ | Repeat: I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found | 02:16 |
| SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: that's the stable I guess not the one they keep on updating? | 02:16 |
| Uplink | hololight, ok? i'll try that :| | 02:16 |
| biouser | it is .mid | 02:16 |
| ozpowermo | Hi all, nautilus is not starting up automatically when I boot up ubuntu (hardy amd64)... does anybody know how I can reinstall nautilus and/or make it start automatically on boot up? | 02:16 |
| biouser | how can I play a .mid file with ubuntu? I would have thought that would be auto | 02:16 |
| th0r | adakos, you would write a script...check the web for tutorials on bash scripting | 02:16 |
| ilembitov | SebNaitsabes: They freeze testing some time before stable release. unstable doesn't get too much updated, too | 02:16 |
| adakos | thOr/th0r: will do. thanks | 02:16 |
| carandraug | Wizard2694, in windows? I believe there's an icon in the system tray. Left click there and choose to safely remove. If you don't do that, you'll have problems mounting it in Linux. You can however use the command that appears to force mount. I've done it before without losing any data but I won't take responsabilities if you do | 02:16 |
| th0r | adakos, there is also a Advanced Bash Scripting guide...check the linux documentation project | 02:17 |
| SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: well can alwasy get later versions of apps from the website? ok sure you may have to compile them your self, but so be it | 02:17 |
| mcw | how do you use wine I know how to install it but not what to do next | 02:17 |
| Wizard2694 | well i never had to remove it correctly with windows, so what you are saying it turn it on, then do a correct removal in windows and it should work? | 02:17 |
| Wizard2694 | ? | 02:17 |
| zelrikriando | mcw, you might wanna join #winehq | 02:18 |
| ilembitov | SebNaitsabes: Yeah, yeah. I know all of it. Actually, I was just hoping there is some workaorund for what I consider the biggest (and probably only) Ubuntu's flaw IMHO | 02:18 |
| mcw | what is that? | 02:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | mcw: then go to your applications menu and at the bottom it should have wine. and look through that | 02:18 |
| biouser | http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=270673 | 02:18 |
| biouser | try to liste to sample | 02:18 |
| battaglin | how do I set LANG to be en_US.utf-8 | 02:18 |
| titanhoss | <-- just wants to get wireless working on his HP.. so he's not tied to the end of a 15 meter cat 5 | 02:19 |
| Wizard2694 | is that correct cara? | 02:19 |
| carandraug | Wizard2694, yes. Next time you should do it (that's the correct way of removing it). Or you can try to force mount. Like I said, I've done it previously several times with no problems but... | 02:19 |
| linxeh | battaglin: export LANG=en_US.utf-8 | 02:19 |
| mcw | i have it installed I just don't know what do do next???? | 02:19 |
| zelrikriando | mcw, that's the wine support channel , just do /join #winehq | 02:19 |
| zz | I am sick of needing to shutdown everything when gnome locks up | 02:19 |
| Wizard2694 | how do i do a force mount? | 02:19 |
| mdg | rnhello | 02:19 |

| biouser | vim not simple though | 02:21 |
| adakos | mcw: ditto. i thought this was my ssh prompt earlier. but to pretend this is on-topic, are you running gnome? | 02:21 |

| Flannel | uoaphys: Nope, just regular repos | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | I find vim simple. :) you just have to learn it. | 02:22 |
| mcw | yes | 02:22 |

| biouser | what is going on with ubuntu-studio these days? | 02:22 |
| uoaphys | flannel: there are tons of articles online telling me to add a ppa repo to my sources file... is this a mistake? | 02:22 |

| titanhoss | well, off to try the forums over chat scroll. | 02:22 |
| TubbyCat12 | thanks | 02:22 |
| Flannel | uoaphys: You shouldn't need PPA for KDE4. But I suppose there might be updatd versions. Ask in #kubuntu-kde4, they'll know for sure. | 02:22 |
| mcw | I just don't know how to change irc channels??? | 02:23 |

| mcw | ha ha ok | 02:25 |
| jdavis | Dr_willis: whew, it was the mouse wheel, and I undid it. Thanks! | 02:25 |
| mcw | in here? | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | mcw, you may want to read a few irc beginner guides.. xchat has a help menu. :) | 02:25 |
| mdg | Xchat not Ex-chat | 02:26 |
| battaglin | mcw: the program you are using? are u blind? | 02:26 |
| mcw | were are those? | 02:26 |
| jegan | how to add a new protocol in Gaim | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | Top right menu item in this Xchat i have is 'help' :) with help docs.. :) | 02:26 |
| adakos | ooh thats what i need!! anyone know where i can find a good network monitoring program that can tell me current bandwidth usage, total sent/received, used over 24 hrs, etc.. but the catch is it has to be web-based or terminal based since i run a headless server. | 02:26 |

| carandraug | jegan, don't you mean Pidgin? | 02:26 |

| ^Someone^ | Someome please help : \ I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | mcw, add a new server, or select one from the xchat > network list menu.. or use the /server command | 02:27 |
| ozpowermo | Hi all, nautilus is not starting up automatically when I boot up ubuntu (hardy amd64)... does anybody know how I can reinstall nautilus and/or make it start automatically on boot up? | 02:27 |
| jegan | ya but i hav as gaim in my ubuntu | 02:27 |
| baba_b00ie | how do i configure ubuntu 8.04 to boot without the splash screen and not to go straight in to X11 | 02:27 |
| carandraug | Dr_willis, hmm, ok. But the interface should be similiar, I hope | 02:27 |
| mcw | 8.04.1 | 02:27 |
| mcw | witch one of those options? | 02:28 |
| DDR | mcw: type /join #channelNameHere | 02:28 |
| mcw | irc? | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | carandraug, features may not be. I have neer used eitehr to do google chat.. so no idea if the old one can even do googlechat or not. | 02:28 |
| mcw | in this same box I am typing in? | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | mcw, it may be worth wile to just explore the menu items a bit. depending on EXACTLY what you want to do. | 02:28 |
| carandraug | jegan, I use Pidgin but the interface should be similiar. Is there a menu named accounts with and add/edit option? Go there | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | mcw, /server irc.newircserver.com will connect to a new/different irc server. There is a server 'settings/interface' area in the xchat settings. Note that this is in XCHAT, not 'xchat-gnome' the 2 differ in the layout a lot. | 02:29 |
| mcw | is it network, and then channels? | 02:29 |
| Fungusman | Hi guys I want a stripped down windows client | 02:29 |
| carandraug | jegan, also, ever thought of updating to pidgin? | 02:29 |
| Fungusman | xfce doesnt seem to be very stripped down | 02:29 |
| mcw | that seems to make sence | 02:29 |
| Fungusman | I was wondering what ubuntu room can suggest | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, xfce is very minimal. yet full featured. | 02:30 |
| jegan | ya i went there and saw ... it displays all protocols except google !! | 02:30 |
| qr | Fungusman: try ion3, you don't get more stripped down then that | 02:30 |
| Fungusman | What is puppy linux using ? | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, depends on exactly what you want. as far as a 'full desktop' xfce is about as light as they get. | 02:30 |
| Fungusman | how would I install ion3 ? | 02:30 |
| qr | jegan: googletalk uses jabber | 02:30 |
| Flannel | Fungusman: try fluxbox | 02:30 |
| Fungusman | Thanks for the help guise | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, puppy uses jwm + rox file manager. | 02:30 |
| favro | Fungusman: I think fluxbox is good :) | 02:30 |
| mcw | I am in xchat gnome | 02:30 |
| qr | Fungusman: apt-get install ion3 | 02:30 |
| mcw | irc | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, thats what im using now in Ubuntu. :) | 02:30 |
| Leefmc | Question: I am attempting to make/install a library but i get an error saying i do not have a high enough glib version, it requires 2.12.0 or greater. If i search for glib in the packagemanager however, it says i have libglib2.0-0 version 2.16.4 installed, any thoughts as to what could be wrong? | 02:30 |
| mcw | me too | 02:30 |
| Fungusman | I love puppy it rocks | 02:30 |
| Fungusman | ok Im gonna try ion3 | 02:31 |
| dumbdum | I used GParted to copy my Mint linux Install to a bigger HDD, now it wont boot! Any help appreciated. | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, you may want to check out 'icewm' and set it up to use 'rox' also. | 02:31 |
| mcw | is that speedy (puppy) | 02:31 |
| karname | please help me : I have dell inspiron 6400 laptob , when i set turning the lcd off after minutes , my ubuntu is crash, mean all of key is disable , this problem is also when i turn computer to stand by | 02:31 |
| carandraug | Fungusman, ever tried Iwm? You can't go more stripped down than that | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, some of these uber-light window managers are VERY 'odd' in ways. | 02:31 |
| Fungusman | ok | 02:31 |
| Fungusman | For some reason my new laptp can get sluggish with ubuntu | 02:31 |
| Fungusman | been daul booting xp and notice that xp is less slugish (but more on the fritz lol) | 02:32 |
| qr | Fungusman: you can also try wmii (which is my personal wm of choice) but it's a very /different/ sort of wm if you are used to XP. | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, right now i normally run 'icewm' and 'rox -p=default' to get the rox pinboard. :) | 02:32 |
| mcw | I take it you like mushrooms fungusman!! | 02:32 |
| carandraug | Fungusman, if it's new, the reason is probably not an heavy window manager | 02:32 |
| mcw | either that or you live in a moldy house | 02:32 |
| Fungusman | lol | 02:33 |
| Fungusman | fungusman is a dnd monster : ) | 02:33 |
| mcw | oh ok | 02:33 |
| ozpowermo | Anybody know how to start nautilus at boot? Mine is not starting up when ubuntu boots... I have to manually start it! Anybody? Please? | 02:33 |
| Fungusman | lol talking dnd in the linux room ohhhh jeezz | 02:33 |
| jegan | i cold not connect to my google /// wen i enter my username and pass ... in jabber | 02:33 |
| Fungusman | lol | 02:33 |
| mcw | I don't play dnd | 02:33 |
| linxeh | Fungusman: ooh, twm ftw ;-) | 02:33 |
| Fungusman | gonna try wmii | 02:33 |
| Fungusman | lol | 02:33 |
| adakos | ooh thats what i need!! anyone know where i can find a good network monitoring program that can tell me current bandwidth usage, total sent/received, used over 24 hrs, etc.. but the catch is it has to be web-based or terminal based since i run a headless server. | 02:33 |
| SNuxoll | real men use windowmaker as their wm | 02:33 |
| Pulpie | SNuxoll: real men use bsd | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | adakos, theres ntop ( i think) that logs more info then i EVER knew existed | 02:34 |
| linxeh | Pulpie: real men use unicos | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | !info ntop | 02:34 |

| qr | jegan: google (heh) for how to do it. How you connect to googletalk through gaim is not at all obvious, but there are many, many walkthroughs on line. | 02:34 |
| mcw | I've had some good trips on shrooms | 02:34 |
| Fungusman | Dr Willis, how would I install a manager like puppy ? | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | adakos, it dosent really do it like 'top' does. it has a html/web interface | 02:34 |
| Fungusman | Im still new with ubuntu | 02:34 |
| SNuxoll | Pulpie: damn straight! | 02:34 |
| sivel_ | hello all. | 02:34 |
| mcw | me too | 02:34 |
| zelrikriando | Fungusman, need help? | 02:34 |
| Pulpie | linxeh: no UNICOS sucks | 02:35 |
| mcw | tried sabayon and it sucked | 02:35 |
| carandraug | !hi | sivel_ | 02:35 |
| ubottu | sivel_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, Puppy is using 'jwm' and the 'rox' file manager.. use the package manager, search for jwm and rox-filer (i think) and install those | 02:35 |
| sivel_ | ty | 02:35 |
| linxeh | Pulpie: but there isnt much choice for real men ;-) | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, you will need to configure jwm to run rox at startup. (and tweak its menus) | 02:35 |
| dasunsrule32 | B-) | 02:35 |
| Fungusman | k | 02:35 |
| sivel_ | im about to pull my hair out over this network problem that just "happened" when everything was running smoothly for 3 months.... | 02:35 |
| Fungusman | brb | 02:35 |
| mcw | tried mandriva | 02:35 |
| mcw | tried open suse | 02:36 |
| Pulpie | linxeh: lol | 02:36 |
| adakos | Dr_willis ill try that | 02:36 |
| mcw | tried musix | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | Fungusman, and yes.. ive spend many an hr reading the jwm docs. and learning how to tweak the .jwmrc config file and themes. :) | 02:36 |
| Slade | mcw: my apologies for mandriva and open suse | 02:36 |
| mcw | ha ha | 02:36 |
| mcw | no real support | 02:36 |
| adakos | Dr_willis do i need to install apache? | 02:36 |
| mcw | no updates | 02:36 |
| Slade | mcw: open suse = novell. novell = lousy support. | 02:36 |
| Pascal[Quebec] | Hi | 02:36 |
| Pici | mcw: Do you have a support question? | 02:36 |
| sivel_ | all of the sudden, my eth0 device does not exist, yet it seems to be getting a ip from my router, yet cant ping the router | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | adakos, no idea. I just toyed with ntop for a while ages ago.. and resized it was 10000x more features then what i needed. :) | 02:37 |
| Pascal[Quebec] | Prob with amsn... version 0.97.2 . | 02:37 |
| kevin083 | hi... when i boot i see 22.352830] ata1.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable... is this referring to the cd-rom drive or the hard disk? | 02:37 |
| Pulpie | Pascal[Quebec]: centerim | 02:37 |
| mcw | i want to learn more so I can help as many people as I can get off of winblows! | 02:37 |
| kauer | Hi there. I need a kind of "virtual cable" I can sniff. I have an ssh tunnel from my computer to a server, but I need to see what's going over the tunnel. I want to set up a local "hop" on my computer that I can inspect with (say) wireshark. Ideas? | 02:37 |
| adakos | Dr_willis perfect! i like features | 02:37 |
| mcw | no | 02:37 |
| Pascal[Quebec] | unable to get a socket form localhost | 02:37 |

| mcw | is automatix the same thing? | 02:38 |

| dumbdum | I used GParted to copy my Mint linux Install to a bigger HDD, now it wont boot! Any help appreciated. | 02:38 |
| mcw | or is it discontinued | 02:38 |
| Flannel | !wine | mcw | 02:38 |
| ubottu | mcw: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 02:38 |
| sivel_ | any ideas as to where i can start? it was working flawlessly for months, no prob | 02:38 |
| Flannel | mcw: Automatix isn't supported, and it's not needed either. there's nothing that it will help you with. | 02:38 |
| Pici | dumbdum: You'd need to contact Mint for support then, we do not support that here. | 02:39 |
| Flannel | mcw: (isn't supported means we don't support it, and neither do the people who wrote it) | 02:39 |
| Pici | !mintsupport | dumbdum | 02:39 |
| ubottu | dumbdum: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 02:39 |

| sk33t0r | anyone here use an ati x300 and run any games under ubuntu 8.04? | 02:40 |
| mcw | I was before | 02:40 |
| Flannel | mcw: You should perhaps answer the questions you were asked. | 02:40 |
| sk33t0r | my screen is always flickering when I play games | 02:41 |
| mcw | that would be cool!! | 02:41 |
| sk33t0r | I just tried playing bf1942 with wine and the screen flickers.. but it also happens when I run a simple game like tucracer | 02:41 |
| sk33t0r | any ideas? | 02:41 |
| mcw | wich ones so many questions | 02:41 |

| mcw | thank you flannel | 02:43 |
| mcw | flannel pj's rock!! | 02:43 |
| mcw | there comfortable | 02:43 |
| Flannel | mcw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine is the web site. We're strict with staying on topic because there's lots of people who want support, and we can't have 100 conversations in the meantime. | 02:43 |
| mcw | and so are the sheets | 02:44 |

| mamo | I have 2 hard drives...... on one of them i installed ubuntu, and then on the second hard drive i installed win2k and after the windows installation finished, i no longer see ubuntu and windows starts right through. I went system control on windows and show 30 second for multipile os was already checked. so how can i make my pc show me a list of os so i can chose which on i want to start???? | 02:45 |
| mcw | I want to promote ubunu up here | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | mamo, you bneed to decide if you want ubuntu/grub to handle the multi os's or let windows handle it. (i suggest grub) | 02:46 |
| mcw | we are open minded here | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | mamo | 02:46 |
| ubottu | mamo: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:46 |

| SNuxoll | smee: yes, it has for a long time iirc | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | guptaxpn, would depend on what the site supports. | 02:47 |
| mcw | were do I type ubuntu off topic to get there it sounds fun | 02:47 |

| Leefmc | node357: Gegl, Babl (required by gegl) are not on the standard hardy repo, as far as i can tell. And i can't compile bable because it requires glib 2.12 or greater.. of which i already have installed. | 03:01 |

| kevin083 | bonez46: i'm not sure, as i installed it from the installer at the tremulous.net site | 03:02 |
| [z]neo | why i cant play real media files? | 03:02 |
| kevin083 | bonez46: you can probably type tremulous in a terminal and if that works make a shortcut | 03:02 |
| adakos | charles_ thanks! | 03:02 |
| tensei | kevin083: I was reading a how to on installing it on 8.04 and it has a section about picking a hard disk. So I wasn't sure if it was asking for a partition to boot the virtual OS from | 03:02 |

| Leefmc | Can anyone give me some help with compiling a library? It says i need a package of a specific version or greater, and i have that greater version installed. Thoughts? | 03:09 |
| kevin083 | tensei: you're supposed to install your programs into wine, just like you would install them on windows. this is so they can add themselves to wine's registry and create shortcuts among other things | 03:10 |

| tensei | kevin083: I didn't know you could install programs through wine, whats the big difference between wine and virtualbox? | 03:10 |
| Flannel | tensei: virtualbox is actual virtualization (emulation, etc). Wine isn't | 03:11 |
| os2mac | how does one add a universal keybinding for a particular application? | 03:11 |
| kevin083 | tensei: wine will give you hardware graphics acceleration and be faster, but it is not windows and not all apps will work | 03:11 |
| carandraug | tensei, with wine you don't need to install windows. It's kind of an emulator but not one. It's better to use wine if you can | 03:11 |
| carandraug | tensei, but with wine not all programs work well | 03:12 |

| billy____ | is there any way to get an iso from a live cd? | 03:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: That's expected. It'll try and remove a lot of other packages as well (because they depend on glibc), you'll want to force the old version | 03:19 |
| billy____ | or do i have to dl ubuntu again? | 03:19 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Yea but how? | 03:19 |
| kitche | Leefmc: ubuntu-desktop can be removed | 03:19 |

| Leefmc | Mecha25: Will do, thank you | 03:28 |
| Leefmc | Mecha25: It says it is unable to find source package for babl | 03:29 |
| kitche | Leefmc: well that is most likely due to the pkgconfig looking in a different spot then what the .pc file is installed to | 03:29 |
| === UncontrollleD is now known as Uncontrolled | ||
| Leefmc | kitche: So how do i fix that? | 03:29 |

| Leefmc | Mecha25: Which source code? | 03:30 |
| Leefmc | Mecha25: Do you mean a source repository? Or the "Source Code" checkbox | 03:30 |

| Mecha25 | leefmc: Source code checkbox | 03:31 |

| Mecha25 | odd... | 03:31 |

| Leefmc | Mecha25: Although, technically its not "checked", it has a dash | 03:31 |
| Mecha25 | oh! check it then | 03:31 |
| Mecha25 | that's the "you have some enabled, not all" thing | 03:31 |
| Leefmc | Mecha25: It only goes to a dash | 03:31 |
| Mecha25 | ??... odd | 03:31 |
| Leefmc | Mecha25: I've got two options, dash or blank checkbox | 03:32 |

| Flannel | Pokshun: Not all of the software is in the repositories, obviously not everything can be packaged. You can recommend programs for packaging if you think they ought to be in the repos (or do it yourself, see #ubuntu-motu), whereis should find it, if you put it in a normal place. | 03:35 |

| mamo | SeaPhor, Thanks a lot, problem solved like drinking a glass of water.... peace | 04:13 |
| Gnea | !cedega | 04:13 |
| ubottu | cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 04:13 |
| RequinB4 | admiral_copeland: nothing free, and everything else is based off of wine code or is a microsoft OS | 04:13 |
| SeaPhor | mamo, np,,, look me up anytime | 04:14 |
| kcman1 | i know i have asked in here before but is there a quick easy way to mount .bin or .cue files in ubuntu, i have looked at what the bot has to say but there are no real destructions there help please | 04:14 |

| num1 | admiral_copeland: if you don't mind running windows VirtualBox works perfectly for meas long as you don't want to run anything that requires 3D acceleration | 04:14 |
| Gnea | admiral_copeland: what? | 04:14 |
| num1 | admiral_copeland: 3d *hardware* acceleration | 04:14 |
| admiral_copeland | so i can use 3d acceleration as long as its software | 04:15 |
| adakos | anyone have a good primer on how to run virtual hosts on one computer and run multiple hostnames (www.test.com, www.lol.org, www.i-heart-ubuntu.net) | 04:15 |
| mamo | SeaPhor, no this makes me wonder...... i could have some stuff on a hard drive and permission was denied for someone, and that person can use a live cd and get into the hard right? or i'm thinking wrong... that is just a wonder | 04:15 |

| num1 | admiral_copeland: if you're using VirtualBox then yes, you can use software 3D acceleration (I'm not sure how much of a speed penalty there is but it's probably not much) | 04:16 |
| admiral_copeland | mamo: yes they could use a live disk | 04:16 |
| SeaPhor | mamo, well, yes,,, but did you have to put in a password? | 04:17 |

| pazsion | i did type sudo, it went through a few procceses and said it would need to get 450kb of something from somehwere then E: could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock | 04:33 |
| num1 | hitman1985: the command is "wine" | 04:33 |
| num1 | hitman1985: but you have to give it an argument, namely the program to run | 04:33 |
| hitman1985 | num1, command is "wine" and then ? | 04:34 |

| hitman1985 | num1, i guess so :) | 04:50 |
| Flannel | modem_: It's not important. Those are the channel guidelines, regardless of who's asking you to follow them. | 04:50 |
| num1 | hitman1985: so right click wine, choose install, hit double apply :P and type in your password | 04:50 |

| pazsion | ok, after letting it boot, it disabled the xserver..becuase its not setup right | 04:54 |

| hitman1985 | tritium, installed over bin file | 04:54 |
| Wizard2694 | damn ubuntu makes ya feel dumb when you are used to windows | 04:55 |

| crdlb | shadowblade: why would you do that? | 05:00 |
| hitman1985 | tritium, thats what i downloaded :) | 05:00 |
| tritium | hitman1985: use the google repositories for which I gave you a URL. | 05:00 |

| Leefmc | Question: Whats a good DVD Player? MPlayer seems to stink horribly at it, same for MoviePlayer | 05:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: vlc | 05:09 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: K thanks | 05:09 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Wonder why MPlayer sucks at it, it rocks everything else imo | 05:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: eh, i'm the wrong person to ask that, i hate mplayer | 05:10 |
| Leefmc | ah | 05:10 |
| TJ-Linux | alright, I need some help. I wanted to change the way the file browser would mount a drive so I edited the fstab file, now when I try to mount the drive in the file browser I am told "unable to mount" and that I need to mount the volume as root. While before it would ask me for my root password, now it does not... if before I needed permission and it would ask me, what do I need to set in fstab so that it will ask me now? | 05:10 |
| tritium | Leefmc: xine is another option | 05:10 |
| pazsion | o dude, i'm usint 7.04....wth? | 05:10 |
| pazsion | i thought it upgraded... | 05:10 |
| G3N0 | If i just installed a program through sudo apt-get and its nto showing up in the applications drop down menu how do i run it? | 05:10 |
| Leefmc | tritium: Which is better? I've personally never liked vlc | 05:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | xine isn't bad.. but it is a bit glitchy for me | 05:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | !best | Leefmc | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Leefmc: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 05:11 |
| tritium | Leefmc: depends on your preference. | 05:11 |
| G3N0 | how do i run a program through terminal without navigation to it? | 05:11 |
| cycom | Leefmc: try totem-xine :) | 05:11 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Yes yes, but just assume when people ask you which is "best", that they want your opinion. :p, after all, thats all you can give anyway. Nothing is "best". | 05:11 |
| tritium | G3N0: if it's not already in your path, specify the full path | 05:11 |
| cycom | Leefmc: lets you use all your pretty multimedia buttons on a laptop, but works with DVDs | 05:11 |
| G3N0 | tritium: i don't know the path thats the thing, how do i search it? | 05:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: but some people think there's actually 'best' application for something, when there's not | 05:12 |
| tritium | G3N0: which, whereis, find, etc. | 05:12 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Blech, imo there is :). Sure its still opinion, but generally as long as the opinion is educated, it is probably right. | 05:12 |
| G3N0 | tritium: omg that was easy thankyou | 05:12 |
| cycom | Leefmc: you might have to remove totem-gstreamer to get it to use totem-xine though. not sure how to select totem-xine as the default. | 05:12 |
| bozy | think you, Flannel | 05:13 |
| cycom | Leefmc: but totem-xine is what I use until totem-gstreamer supports DVD menus. | 05:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | later all | 05:13 |
| tritium | G3N0: got it working? | 05:13 |
| G3N0 | tritium: trying now ;) | 05:13 |

| G3N0 | tritium: wierd.... it says launching kismet server. suid priv-dropping disabled. this may not be secuire. done. | 05:14 |
| cycom | LadySerena: also, BSD might call it a Daemon, but I don't answer to them :) | 05:14 |
| tritium | anachronoks: I think your question lacks detail. I'm watching them right now. | 05:14 |
| pazsion | watching the olyimpics...turn on the tv? | 05:14 |
| anachronoks | considering this is a ubuntu chat and not a TV chat, i thought the context was already clear ;) | 05:15 |
| cycom | pazsion: there's a command to reconfigure Xorg automagically, but I can't remember it... make a backup of your old xorg.conf just in case though | 05:15 |
| tritium | anachronoks: you might let us know, then, if you have a TV tuner card, or what you're asking | 05:15 |

| === Bruno_F_ is now known as Bruno_F | ||
| tritium | cycom: not generally | 05:17 |

| Leefmc | cycom: How do you view a dvd with totem-xine? I downloaded it, but it has no icon, and all i see is the standard totem | 05:19 |
| cycom | LadySerena: as in you never use X or as in it autoconfigures itself? | 05:19 |
| Reformer81 | anachronoks: Sadly, that is sometimes the only solution. | 05:19 |
| cycom | Leefmc: uninstall totem-gstreamer | 05:19 |
| cycom | then run totem | 05:19 |
| Reformer81 | skpl: System > Administration > Users & Groups | 05:19 |
| cycom | it's the standard totem interface, just with a different backend | 05:19 |
| LadySerena | I use X ... sometimes. I just let it autodetect everything. :3 | 05:19 |
| Flannel | utnubu_user: internet sites visited would be stored in the webbrowser, you can clear them out through firefox. I'm not sure about what sort of "other personal data", but which applications are used isn't stored, no. | 05:20 |
| anachronoks | okay.. thanks anyway | 05:20 |
| === skpl is now known as lint | ||
| Reformer81 | Leefmc: If you install totem-xine, it's basically just a pack of codecs. The DVD should open in regular Totem now. | 05:20 |
| weternal | hey I'm trying to get compiz to do all of the cool stuff I've seen it do in videos | 05:20 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: It didnt | 05:20 |
| cycom | LadySerena: I tend to have special things like ATI or NVidia drivers or wacom tablets or other crap :) | 05:20 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: Now it does | 05:20 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: Now that gstreamer is gone | 05:20 |
| cycom | Leefmc: besides, I like my wobbly windows. | 05:20 |
| anachronoks | weternal i believe you need to install the advanced desktop effect settings | 05:20 |
| pazsion | ok if i update this somehow from 7.04 to 8.04 will i beable to reconfigure xorg as well? | 05:20 |
| cycom | Leefmc: and you'll get all your fancy menus too! :) | 05:20 |
| tritium | utnubu_user: some programs store user data in dot-files or directories. (e.g., pidgin stores account info in ~/.purple) | 05:21 |
| sk33t0r | anyone ever have to restart their pc for ubuntu to recognize a new usb device? | 05:21 |
| weternal | I just installed the advanced desktop effects settings | 05:21 |
| cycom | pazsion: is this a dell laptop that came with 7.04 preinstalled? | 05:21 |
| Leefmc | cycom: Hmm, it said it cant play it without libdvdcss, but there isn't a libdvdcss in the repo.. | 05:21 |
| FuRom | How do I upgrade intltool to intltool 0.40.0 or higher? | 05:21 |
| LadySerena | I have my touchpad and a USB mouse that I sometimes connect, both are handled by moused | 05:21 |
| weternal | I'm not sure how to configure it thought | 05:21 |
| Leefmc | cycom: I have libdvdread3 installed, but thats obviously not working heh | 05:21 |
| LadySerena | Xorg doesn't know which is which, since it just reads /dev/sysmouse | 05:21 |
| cycom | Leefmc: you have to enable universe and multiverse I think. | 05:21 |
| Reformer81 | Leefmc: libdvdcss is illegal to distribute. Search google for it and you'll find instructions on how to install it. | 05:22 |
| xxploit | Leefmc: add the medibuntu repo | 05:22 |
| cycom | Leefmc: also check out medibuntu, since it has w32codecs. | 05:22 |
| tritium | !medibuntu | Leefmc | 05:22 |
| ubottu | Leefmc: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:22 |
| pazsion | lolz dell does that? damn dell....no it is fujitusu | 05:22 |
| anachronoks | weternal you go through the list of effects and turn the ones on you want to use. click the icon to configure them | 05:22 |
| pazsion | and i've installed it myself | 05:22 |
| cycom | pazsion: sells laptops with ubuntu preinstalled? yeah. | 05:22 |
| weternal | I've been playing with it for a bit but it's not doing the wobbly windows or the cool minimize effects or the cube desktop | 05:22 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:23 |
| pazsion | cycom your right i do...i didn't know dell did, ubuntu is kinda new to me | 05:23 |
| utnubu_user | Flannel, I am asking this because the US is checking electronic equipment such as laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, etc at the airports or entry points. I do not want them looking at what I do on my pc, since sensitive data can be stolen... | 05:23 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: That will give you access to all the settings of Compiz. | 05:23 |
| anachronoks | wobbly windows is under effects, did you try enabling it? | 05:23 |
| Reformer81 | utnubu_user: The US does not turn it on to see what you've been doing. | 05:23 |
| cycom | pazsion: but yeah, I'd do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. that should get you back to close to the defaults. why did you change it in ther first place? | 05:23 |
| cycom | I'd get X working _before_ you upgrade to 8.04 | 05:23 |
| weternal | yeah I'm trying to get the compizconfig settings manager to do some of the basic effects and it's not | 05:24 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: Try setting everything to default. | 05:24 |
| pazsion | cycom so i could see what i was doing, and its always reconfiguered itself in the past | 05:24 |
| ganymede | is there a way to make SCIM input global and default? now, in gtk apps, i have to right click a text entry box and set the input method to SCIM, but i'd like the text input method to be SCIM always, on all applications | 05:24 |
| Reformer81 | I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop. Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity? | 05:24 |
| cycom | weternal: did you go into appearence and enable desktop effects already? | 05:24 |
| utnubu_user | Reformer81, Well, as far as I know they do it now. I saw it a few mins. ago at the news. "To avoid terrorist activities" | 05:24 |
| LadySerena | http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/LadySerena/laptop/panther_logos.jpg | 05:25 |
| LadySerena | Panther, my little laptop <3 | 05:25 |
| cycom | weternal: as in System->Preferences->Appearence? | 05:25 |
| modem_ | utnubu_user, use LVM | 05:25 |
| Reformer81 | utnubu_user: Haha... wouldn't surprise me. Oh well... land of the free. | 05:25 |
| Reformer81 | ...or something like that | 05:25 |
| weternal | when I try to do that it tells me that I can't use desktop effects | 05:25 |
| bringatowel | utnubu_user, if you want you can delete your whole /home/username directory and recreate each time you start, but it would be a hassle. have you considered encrypting the entire hard drive? | 05:25 |
| cycom | weternal: well that's why you're not getting them :) | 05:25 |
| weternal | I was wondering if I was using the right video card driver | 05:25 |
| cycom | weternal: what graphics card do you have? | 05:25 |
| weternal | ati 9000 | 05:25 |
| cycom | weternal: do you have fglrx installed? | 05:26 |
| G3N0 | whats the command to find out my chipset? | 05:26 |
| weternal | someone told me that should work with the compiz effects | 05:26 |
| weternal | um not sure | 05:26 |
| weternal | is that a proprietary driver | 05:26 |
| weternal | probably not | 05:26 |
| Reformer81 | utnubu_user: You could also just password protect it. Besides, I doubt the security personnel have ever seen Linux. | 05:26 |
| weternal | I tried installing the xorg driver | 05:26 |
| weternal | but that didn't change the problem | 05:26 |
| tritium | !enter | weternal | 05:26 |
| ubottu | weternal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:26 |
| weternal | oh sorry | 05:27 |
| cycom | weternal: go into system->administration->hardware drivers | 05:27 |
| G3N0 | how do i find out my chipset? | 05:27 |
| modem_ | utnubu_user, id use LVM (aes-256) to encrypt the entire drive (swap space included) | 05:27 |
| cycom | G3N0: try lspci in terminal. | 05:27 |
| G3N0 | ty | 05:27 |
| weternal | it says no proprietary drivers | 05:27 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: Well, the ATI 9000 is a really old card...... | 05:28 |
| sk33t0r | I've got this issue where I need to restart my pc when I plug in a knew usb device for ubuntu to recognize it.. any ideas how to get around this inconvenience ? | 05:28 |
| Reformer81 | Then again, I get great Compiz effects with just onboard video :) | 05:28 |
| modem_ | you can go all with that and keep /boot on a USB key so no one can boot without the key | 05:28 |
| grendal_prime | cycom: i have one of those | 05:28 |
| Reformer81 | modem_: That works? | 05:28 |
| pazsion | cycom conflicting actions??? sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 05:28 |
| Reformer81 | modem_: Only if you can boot from USB, of course, right? | 05:28 |
| |2-bits| | hey. I'm wondering if there is a way to configure network manager to run a specified script upon connection to a particular access point? | 05:29 |
| weternal | hmm should it be offering to download a driver for the ati 9000? | 05:29 |
| cycom | pazsion: dpkg-reconfigure. no space | 05:29 |
| cycom | grendal_prime: one of what? | 05:29 |
| modem_ | Reformer81, yeah you need to be able to boot from it | 05:29 |
| pazsion | ah | 05:29 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: Uhm, if that's what you have, then I'm sure that's what it should be downloading :P | 05:29 |
| Leefmc | ugh i give up loi. Some things ubuntu really needs to work on.. i cant even play this damn dvd :o | 05:29 |
| omkar | friends help me a bit I am in System-Admin-Printing I have to connect to a Shared Printer which is connected to a Windows XP machine on the Network | 05:29 |
| grendal_prime | 1420 dell with preinstalled ubuntu | 05:29 |
| cycom | grendal_prime: oh! :) I have an E1505 running intrepid :) | 05:29 |
| weternal | it's not offering to download anything thought | 05:29 |
| tritium | Leefmc: did you read the medibuntu info I sent you? | 05:29 |
| grendal_prime | 4 gigs of ram...it flat out is the bomb | 05:29 |
| Leefmc | Works fine in a old as hell dvd player at work, but it can't play in modern day ubuntu, argh :o. | 05:30 |
| grendal_prime | everthing worked on the thing out of the box. | 05:30 |
| Leefmc | tritium: I added it already, and installed libdvdcss2 | 05:30 |
| cycom | weternal: try installing xserver-xorg-fglrx | 05:30 |
| tritium | Leefmc: so what's the problem? | 05:30 |
| weternal | do I have to add that to my repositories? | 05:30 |
| modem_ | i got a dell d830 ubuntu works pretty well on it except for the nvidia driver | 05:30 |
| cycom | grendal_prime: I upgrade to intrepid to get evdev and stuff working right again. Couldn't be happier. | 05:30 |
| G3N0 | cycom: hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers | 05:30 |
| pazsion | no spaces at all cycom or just at dpkg-reconfigure | 05:30 |
| Reformer81 | Leefmc: What is the DVD? | 05:30 |
| Leefmc | tritium: It doesn't play, as i mentioned ;), but i gatta go to bed. I've spent hours fighting linux tonight haha, cant take anymore | 05:30 |
| weternal | or is that from the ubuntu repositories | 05:30 |
| cycom | weternal: well, search for it first in there. | 05:30 |
| grendal_prime | what is intrepid? | 05:30 |
| zzl | when is Ubuntu Netbook Remix coming out?? | 05:31 |
| Reformer81 | Leefmc: Is it original or a copy? | 05:31 |
| cycom | pazsion: just in dpkg-reconfigure | 05:31 |
| G3N0 | grendal_prime: a car by dodge | 05:31 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: Hot Fuzz, i wanted to finish it damnit :( | 05:31 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: Original | 05:31 |
| tritium | Leefmc: I know what it doesn't do. What _does_ it do when you try? | 05:31 |
| Reformer81 | hmm | 05:31 |
| Flannel | zzl: Its out, just not in the official repos. There's a PPA for it | 05:31 |
| Flannel | !intrepid | grendal_prime | 05:31 |
| wizard_2 | what is normally in charge of checking and emailing users about quotas? | 05:31 |
| ubottu | grendal_prime: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! | 05:31 |
| pazsion | thnk y | 05:31 |
| zzl | flannel: where can I get it? | 05:31 |
| grendal_prime | ahh ok | 05:31 |
| Reformer81 | Leefmc: Personally, I've never been able to get Totem to play DVDs. I've always used VLC for it. | 05:31 |
| G3N0 | hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers | 05:31 |
| grendal_prime | im still running gutsy on this thing | 05:31 |
| Flannel | zzl: https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix | 05:31 |
| cycom | G3N0: you have to figure it out based on the output of lspci. it'll show you the name of the card and stuff. | 05:31 |
| G3N0 | okay ty | 05:31 |
| Leefmc | tritium: Heh sorry, just tired and being smart. My bad. totem-xine just stalls at the front of the dvd (some dvd legal message, etc) | 05:32 |
| tritium | G3N0: it hsould | 05:32 |
| grendal_prime | uses nvida drivers..and i simply cannot have this thing down for any amount of time right now. | 05:32 |
| cycom | G3N0: from there you have to do a little googling to find the right drivers, or search in synaptic | 05:32 |
| weternal | it's saying that it couldn't find package | 05:32 |
| pazsion | oh hell yes exactly what i need cycom thank you thank you THAN YOU | 05:32 |
| tritium | Leefmc: well, come back tomorrow and we can work through it | 05:32 |
| cycom | Leefmc: did you get medibuntu? | 05:32 |
| cycom | pazsion: np dude. | 05:32 |
| cycom | pazsion: been in that boat a few times myself :) | 05:32 |
| Leefmc | cycom: Yes | 05:32 |
| cycom | I have literally three different laptops running ubuntu. | 05:32 |
| zzl | flannel: you can use it on laptops too right? | 05:32 |
| cycom | Leefmc: did you install libdvdcss? | 05:32 |
| Reformer81 | Leefmc: And you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 05:32 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: Heh, vlc hasn't done crap the whole time. It just opens up the dvd (it reads the title), then it just stops. No picture ever shown | 05:32 |
| Flannel | zzl: Yep, anywhere actually. | 05:32 |
| G3N0 | cycom: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61). where would I look for that? google? | 05:33 |
| pazsion | ok now what driver sets would be compatable with fujitsu laptops? | 05:33 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: I got libdvdcss, and iirc i got ubuntu restricted ages ago, but offhand i cant remember | 05:33 |
| pazsion | video drivers... | 05:33 |
| modem_ | woohoo got my wifi led working | 05:33 |
| tritium | Leefmc: apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras, to tell for sure | 05:33 |
| Leefmc | Reformer81: Yes i do, after looking. | 05:33 |
| cycom | G3N0: it's an intel card? you sure it's not working already? | 05:33 |
| weternal | hmm so how should I go about getting a driver for the ati 900 | 05:33 |
| === marbe800 is now known as marbe800_ | ||
| cycom | G3N0: wireless drivers, yeah? | 05:33 |
| cycom | weternal: that's fglrx. | 05:33 |
| cycom | weternal: or radeonHD, though I'm not sure if that's in Hardy. | 05:33 |
| G3N0 | cycom: im gonna test it out, like im trying to use kismet and it says i need to fill in the config | 05:33 |
| cycom | weternal: search synaptic for fglrx | 05:33 |
| Leefmc | This DVD is apparently better than Ubuntu. :D | 05:33 |
| Leefmc | Anyway | 05:34 |

| G3N0 | G3N0: nooooooo idea thats why i was looking in the first place | 05:35 |
| G3N0 | cycom: * | 05:36 |
| Flannel | Reformer81: Because most print shops don't deal with .doc files either. | 05:36 |

| G3N0 | cycom: OR? cfg80211 15112 1 iwlwifi_mac80211 | 05:37 |
| cycom | ok, now what interface is your wireless card? | 05:37 |
| cycom | no, iwl4965 is the driver. | 05:37 |
| Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: Take the drive out. Then reinsert it. Then type 'dmesg' in the terminal. The last lines SHOULD say something about the USB drive. | 05:37 |
| weternal | do I want do disable any other drivers I might have running my video card | 05:38 |
| G3N0 | cycom: okay i gotchya. i have no idea its built into mi laptopo | 05:38 |
| LadySerena | Intel Wireless should be iwi0 or iw0 | 05:38 |
| cycom | G3N0: try typing iwconfig | 05:38 |
| AdrianStrays | Reformer81: Its not a drive, the laptop has a built in slot for it. | 05:38 |
| fasttrack | hy all, i just found a small and easy hack that makes installing ies4linux more comfortable | 05:38 |
| sleepster | anyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed? | 05:38 |
| cycom | G3N0: the one that doesn't have 'no wireless extensions' is likely the interface. | 05:38 |
| G3N0 | cycom: there's 3 of them :o | 05:38 |
| Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: But it's actually still a drive (much like a CD-ROM drive or floppy drive... this happens to be a flash drive) :) | 05:38 |
| cycom | LadySerena: mine is wlan0, so you can't really be sure. | 05:38 |
| cycom | G3N0: what are they called? | 05:38 |
| Reformer81 | fasttrack: Blog it :) | 05:39 |
| zzl | is there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine?? | 05:39 |
| fasttrack | most users face problem that the installation gets corrupt most of the times. and many get tired restarting it. | 05:39 |
| G3N0 | cycom: wlan0 my bad theres only one | 05:39 |
| LadySerena | wireless on my laptop is zyd0 | 05:39 |
| AdrianStrays | Reformer81: I don't see it as a drive under Computer either. | 05:39 |
| cycom | G3N0: ok, so that's the second section. | 05:39 |
| Reformer81 | zzl: Short answer, no. Long answer, use OpenOffice.org. | 05:39 |
| fasttrack | its nothing great. just a one line bash script | 05:39 |
| cycom | G3N0: the third section is just what you want to call it in kismet | 05:39 |
| tritium | LadySerena: that doesn't sound like ubuntu. | 05:39 |
| zzl | reformer81:what? | 05:39 |
| zzl | is there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine?? | 05:39 |
| Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: What did dmesg say? The last couple lines after you inserted it. | 05:39 |
| G3N0 | cycom: whats the first? | 05:39 |
| zzl | such as exe files | 05:39 |
| Reformer81 | !repeat | zzl | 05:39 |

| Xcerca | what do i have to install to watch youtube videos ? flash right , is there anything special for x64 versions ? | 05:39 |

| cycom | G3N0: Intel is just a random name I picked. | 05:40 |
| favro | how come I can't profile the boot sequence in hardy like I could in gutsy/feisty/edgy/dapper? | 05:40 |
| G3N0 | cycom: and the iwl4965 is what again? (trying to learn) | 05:40 |
| fasttrack | i'll paste it here. but i assume most already may have made it for themselves.. | 05:40 |
| cycom | G3N0: keep in mind, this will cause your wireless connection to drop. | 05:40 |
| arrrghhh | i have a headless system that is locking up hardcore - won't respond to pings, and every service just stops. i hook a monitor up to it, and the montior never goes out of low-power mode. where can i check the problem? i don't see anything in /var/log/messages | 05:40 |
| Reformer81 | zzl: I'm trying to help you. There are absolutely ZERO Linux distibutions that will run an .EXE file without using wine. | 05:40 |
| weternal | ok so I downloaded the fglrs driver | 05:40 |
| fasttrack | zzl: try react os | 05:40 |
| cycom | G3N0: it's the driver for that card. the kernel module. | 05:40 |
| Reformer81 | zzl: What are you trying to do? | 05:40 |
| Flannel | arrrghhh: hook up a keyboard and REISUB? | 05:40 |
| G3N0 | cycom: im wired at the moment. okay i understand | 05:40 |
| cycom | G3N0: your card is an intel 4965, right? | 05:40 |
| zzl | run an exe file on linux | 05:40 |
| G3N0 | cycom: yeah | 05:40 |
| cycom | G3N0: so it uses a module (driver) named iwl4965. | 05:40 |
| AdrianStrays | Reformer81: Something about start kernel and boot options, it doesn't look related. Also, I noticed further up it said Firefox was "tainted" what does that mean? | 05:41 |
| weternal | how do I get the driver I installed to work | 05:41 |
| chuy_max | hey guys, how can I search for files that contain "STRING" using console? | 05:41 |
| G3N0 | cycom: i understand thanks for teaching me.. lets see what i else i dont get :) | 05:41 |
| weternal | or is it already working? | 05:41 |
| z_ | sudo gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf - can you say something smart about it? | 05:41 |
| cycom | G3N0: My laptop has an Intel 3945, so I use iwl3945. :) | 05:41 |
| arrrghhh | Flannel, well when i power it off and back on, it works great. no interference by me at all. | 05:41 |
| hbalint | so, can someone help me? | 05:41 |
| cycom | G3N0: no problem dude :) It's why I hang out here. | 05:41 |
| AdrianStrays | Refomer81:Shall I do a paste bin? | 05:41 |
| fasttrack | zzl : use vmware, xen..or those things to boot an windows inmage within linux... or have a look at reactos... make it run in virtualised env | 05:41 |
| shaozuozhen | weternal: restart the X window??? | 05:41 |
| weternal | what's the x window? | 05:41 |
| sleepster | anyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed? | 05:42 |
| Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: No idea. But yeah, pastebin the last few lines of the dmesg output. Remember, remove the flash disc and then run dmesg RIGHT AFTER plugging it back in. | 05:42 |
| LadySerena | sleepster, take a look at the mailing lists? | 05:42 |
| cycom | G3N0: at some point you should try to install gentoo (preferably in a virtual machine) to learn a bit more about the Linux Kernel and how modules work. I suggest it merely because it makes you do most things manually, and teaches you a lot of linux commands the hard (memorable) way. | 05:42 |
| AdrianStrays | !pastebin | 05:42 |

| Flannel | fasttrack: Just use pastebin | 05:42 |
| weternal | ok so I'm not sure how to proceed from here | 05:43 |
| fasttrack | k | 05:43 |
| zzl | fasttrack: can you install reactos? or just live cd like? | 05:43 |
| shaozuozhen | weternal: press "ctrl+alt+backspace" to restart X window | 05:43 |
| Reformer81 | hbalint: Yeah, virtualization can't yet use accelerated video cards. | 05:43 |

| Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: Looks like you have several issues... way beyond my knowledge. Sorry. | 05:45 |
| Flannel | arrrghhh: The monitor never comes out of power saving mode even while booting? | 05:45 |

| Theaxiom | tritium, thanks | 05:45 |
| Xcerca | how can i find out which ubuntu i have ... hardy/dapper...... ? | 05:45 |
| arrrghhh | Flannel, it's fine once i reboot it. but i want to track down the source of the lockup. it's happened 2x now. | 05:45 |
| shaozuozhen | weternal: sorry I have no idea... | 05:46 |
| tritium | Xcerca: lsb_release -a | 05:46 |
| weternal | is this just a case of I should get a newer video card that's compatible with ubuntu | 05:46 |
| Flannel | arrrghhh: Does it happen quickly or take a while? | 05:46 |
| weternal | because I've got an open minipci slot | 05:46 |
| Xcerca | tritium thanks | 05:46 |
| Theaxiom | does the nvidia geforce 8800GTX work great in ubuntu? | 05:46 |
| arrrghhh | Flannel, usually takes a while. | 05:46 |
| hbalint | because it is strange,m, that the linux can use my card to work with compiz, and get some effects, but | 05:46 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: No. There's no need to get a new card. | 05:46 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: You just need to figure out why yours isn't working. Can you not even start Ubuntu? Is that the issue? | 05:47 |
| Flannel | arrrghhh: Mmmm, well, if there are no logs being written successfully to disk, you might have to rely on the monitor | 05:47 |
| weternal | no, ubuntu is working fine, I'm just not able to get the visual effects that I'd like from compiz | 05:47 |
| Xcerca | to watch you tube movies you need flash right ? | 05:47 |
| weternal | It's not a huge problem if the ati 9000 doesn't support compiz | 05:48 |

| weternal | so how do I reconfigure my video card properly? | 05:49 |
| fasttrack | http://paste.ubuntu.com/39010/ | 05:49 |
| fasttrack | its very silly... but it works | 05:49 |
| pazsion | word i'm in ubuntu using atirage pro-m and the sound works awesome +D | 05:49 |
| Reformer81 | weternal: First, run 'glxgears' in a terminal. Does that work? | 05:49 |
| arrrghhh | weternal, well depends, but probably dpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:50 |
| fasttrack | without this... its a huge pain to install and restart the installer everytime.... the fact that they already use wget and resumes it..is greatly helpful | 05:50 |
| pazsion | and the touchscrren works this is bad booty | 05:50 |
| weternal | aarrrhg yes the gears work | 05:50 |
| favro | Flannel: thnx - bootchart gives a pic of the boot sequence - normally I press e, down, e at grub to edit the kernel line and add "profile" at the end to reprofile the boot sequence but in hardys' kernels it doesn't work | 05:50 |

| Bhavesh | Forgott3n`_ you got the right idea.. dd command will work, that's what i ended up doing to two of the drives trying to troubleshoot some installation issue | 06:12 |

| axisr9 | if my laptop runs linux, and is connected to a wireless access point using its built in wireless card.. is it possible to bridge the laptops NETWORK CARD (eth0) with the wireless card so that i can plug in a cat5 cable in my laptops eth0 port and then run it into a router in my bedroom? the router would feed into a desktop machine. | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | kangyul, well open the stream with vlc, not firefox... | 06:16 |
| axisr9 | so i just want to be able to bridge the wireless card and the network card in the laptop, running ubuntu linux | 06:16 |
| ogzy | İ was checking the files of an icon theme and wondering which one is the picture of the gnome startup icon | 06:16 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find a manual for hal-device? | 06:16 |
| axisr9 | so that the eth0 port will have internet as well | 06:16 |
| zzl | arrrghhh: one more question,virtualbox almost has the same functionality as wine and can browse the internet in virtualbox as well? | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | axisr9, stealing wifi and sharing it with a desktop? lol | 06:17 |
| axisr9 | no the wireless router is downstairs | 06:17 |
| arrrghhh | zzl, wine is COMPLETELY different. | 06:17 |
| axisr9 | i cant run a cat5 cable upstairs | 06:17 |
| chuy_max | axisr9, never tried it with a router, but you can with a desktop directly connected to the laptop | 06:17 |
| axisr9 | so i use my laptop to get online from the bedroom | 06:17 |
| Bhavesh | axisr9 basically you want to make your laptop to act like a gateway for your desktop | 06:17 |
| kangyul | arrrghhh: can you tell me how to do? Thanks | 06:17 |
| axisr9 | Bhavesh yea, i run windows xp on the laptop and it works just fine. I go into network connections, and i highlight the wireless and the network card and i right click and click 'BRIDGE' | 06:17 |
| axisr9 | and it works instantly | 06:18 |
| axisr9 | but i want to do that in linux | 06:18 |
| chuy_max | axisr9, you need a crossed utp5 | 06:18 |
| Forgott3n` | dum de duumm deee | 06:18 |
| Forgott3n` | dd working away | 06:18 |
| arrrghhh | kangyul, uh open vlc, click file -> open stream, put in the credentials. | 06:18 |
| Forgott3n` | I didn't set the bs= to anything | 06:18 |
| Bhavesh | axisr9 it's not too complicated, listen to chuy_max | 06:18 |

| joeKr | Reminds me of a comedian I heard: "The internet is down at my house. I think my neighbor forgot to pay his cable bill. That's so inconsiderate of him." | 06:19 |
| chuy_max | lol | 06:19 |
| Bhavesh | joeKr heheh good one | 06:19 |
| arrrghhh | so if this box locks up again, what should i check when it reboots? /var/log/messages had no errors when i checked it after the last lockup. | 06:19 |
| axisr9 | i dont need any cables or anything. i just want it so that the eth0 port will share the wireless internet | 06:19 |
| axisr9 | so if i plug something in the eth0 port | 06:19 |
| axisr9 | it will work like it does in windows | 06:19 |
| axisr9 | i have any/all necessary cables in my room | 06:19 |

| weternal | oh hey so thanks I got it working | 06:20 |
| arrrghhh | axisr9, remember linux is not windows, so don't expect it "to work like it does windows" | 06:20 |
| weternal | compiz | 06:20 |
| axisr9 | arrrghhh i know | 06:20 |
| Bhavesh | axisr9 normally when you connect 2 ethernet devices , you need a cross over cable | 06:20 |
| Dillo_of_Faeo | !alsa | 06:20 |

| joeKr | Any printer wizards about? On Ubuntu 8.04 I've installed a Panasonic KX-P4400 (It recommended an HP LaserJet 2 driver) and when I print, it's busy for 3 seconds, the job shows complete, all looks good, but nothing ever comes out. Printer remains silent. Test pages are the same. Print to PDF file is working. Any Ideas? | 06:21 |
| bazhang | Dillo_of_Faeo, please /msg ubottu for fun if you wish | 06:21 |
| axisr9 | i just want the wireless card built into the laptop to share the internet with the network card built into the laptop | 06:21 |
| Bhavesh | axisr9 here's how it would look WirelessAP -> laptop -> desktop | 06:21 |
| axisr9 | ok | 06:21 |
| Bhavesh | axisr9 so wireless AP -> laptop (wireless) from laptop -> desktop wired connection | 06:22 |
| arrrghhh | axisr9, you can bridge connections manually with ifconfig i believe | 06:22 |
| kangyul | arrrghhh: but it is not a file ,it is something like a P2p net tv , if the address begins with mms:..... it can open easily with a click on it, but it begins with udp:... the firefox gave a info that the protocal udp wasn't associated with any applications, I don't know how todo | 06:23 |
| Ayabara | I've been running bigdesktop with an ati card, but all of a sudden it has stopped working.. | 06:23 |
| axisr9 | arrrghhh ok | 06:23 |
| Ayabara | any idea how I can diagnose this? | 06:23 |
| zzl | arrrghhh: wait, say i have the xp cd, I can just use it to install on virtualbox, or do I need to turn it into an .iso again/ | 06:23 |
| arrrghhh | kangyul, did you go to open stream? | 06:24 |
| arrrghhh | zzl, you can just install it on virtualbox OR use iso. doesn't matter. | 06:24 |

| ValentineX | haha | 06:45 |
| j800r | anyone? :| | 06:45 |
| levander | zzl: I don't think so because of the way they do virtualization. virtualbox doesn't access your real graphics card. I creates a "fake" one (with limited capabilities) and then processes the commands sent to the fake one on the real one. | 06:45 |
| zzl | oh yeah, and can you save the operating systems you already loaded in VB once before? | 06:45 |

| === wickk is now known as wick|bbl | ||
| levander | zzl: I think I know what you're asking. You can't just "mount" a partition that contains an XP install. You have to create a special file on your Ubuntu (or host OS) partition. Virtualbox loads that file as a filesystem and will install Windows (or any OS) on inside that file. It just looks like a binary file outside VirtualBox. Inside VirtualBox, it looks like your root drive for that OS. | 06:48 |
| levander | zzl: You get it? | 06:48 |
| zzl | ohh I get it | 06:49 |
| levander | zzl: I think there was a way to run pre-existing Windows installs inside VirtualBox, but it wasn't 100% stable and it was kind of a hack and you had to follow special instructions. | 06:49 |

| zzl | let me check that out | 06:50 |
| levander | zzl: Ubuntu's done at least some work (and I think they intend to do more) to integrate KVM into their stuff. But, an advantage of virtualbox is that it works on multiple host OS's: Mac, Windows, Solaris, and Linux. | 06:51 |

| Achoth | Forgott3n`: I can also mount the XP partition in Ubuntu, so it's still intact | 07:03 |
| jimdandy | ValentineX, insert the usb stick.. Open the terminal. Type 'dmesg -tail'. | 07:03 |
| kev_ | LSD|Ninja, how would i start it on my end? just type 'screen' | 07:03 |
| kev_ | then the user would type, screen +x myusername? | 07:03 |
| kev_ | er -x | 07:04 |
| ValentineX | @jimdandy anything further after that? | 07:04 |
| jimdandy | ValentineX, if a "disk" window pops up look in the left panel. You can right-click on the "1G disk" or whatever it is called, then click unmount. | 07:04 |
| kev_ | oh wait | 07:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | I'm not sure you can connect to screen on PIDs owned by a different user to the one trying to access. It may be possible, I just don't know enough about screen to say yay or nay | 07:04 |
| jimdandy | If no window pops up, don't worry. In the terminal output, look for a few messages at the end about /dev/sdb or /dev/sda or something similar, recognized as a usb device. Do you see it? | 07:05 |
| kev_ | Cannot open your terminal '/dev/ttyp4' - please check. | 07:05 |
| ValentineX | @jimdandy and done? | 07:06 |
| Avinash | hello | 07:06 |
| lwizardl | ok can someone help me with partitioning this install so I don't lose the space on my other 2 windows installs | 07:06 |
| jimdandy | ValentineX, no you must find out what the device name of the usb device is, probably "/dev/sda" or "/dev/sdb". Do you see it? | 07:06 |
| Avinash | can anyone help me with installation | 07:06 |
| lwizardl | /dev/sda1 is xp, /dev/sda2 is vista | 07:07 |

| Avinash | can anyone helpme | 07:10 |
| Avinash | i need to install ATIU drivers as super user | 07:10 |
| jimdandy | ValentineX, you must find out if your drive is eg. /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. That will be homework. If you get this part wrong, the commands I tell you will hose the wrong drive. | 07:11 |
| Avinash | <BOLD>hi | 07:11 |
| ValentineX | @jimdandy when i type ls /dev/sd* will it show that where is my drive? | 07:12 |
| Avinash | jimdandy can u tell me how to install driver as super user | 07:12 |
| jimdandy | ValentineX, type "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" to check out the disk. It will tell you the size, among other things. For a 1G drive we're shooting for 1000MB or thereabouts. If it is way off, you've got the wrong disk. | 07:12 |
| ValentineX | @jimdandy hmm ok thanks i am going to check that all restarting my pc so i can log in to ubuntu. thanks for help | 07:14 |
| fiber | hello... i just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and i'm trying to make everything as easy as possible for her. she used to use a WD app to backup her system onto an external and i was wondering if there was an easy app anyone recommends to do the same (with a gui, etc..).. optimally i'd like something that auto-reognises her external and automatically starts the backup | 07:14 |

| JulioNeto | I'm in trouble with F-Spot. In my old computer I had a BIG problem with it, in any moment F-Spot could stop my computer at all, isn't only the X, but ALL. I'm with a new computer now, and with the same problem. How can I fix it? | 07:15 |
| Avinash | YAO i am new to ubuntu | 07:15 |
| === seanliu is now known as sean | ||

| === sean is now known as seanliu | ||
| Avinash | wat do i do? | 07:16 |
| fiber | Avinash: sudo is what you need... are you installing with the command line? | 07:16 |
| Avinash | fiber i am trying to install by running it | 07:17 |
| Avinash | its a .ren file | 07:17 |
| Avinash | .run file | 07:17 |
| fiber | Avinash: also, one letter will make you sound literate (ie: the h in what) | 07:17 |
| toyo|desk | hello is there like a repo or something that I can enable to get the latest verstions of ati drivers? | 07:17 |
| john_ | cool | 07:17 |
| Rehan`Away | hi | 07:17 |
| fiber | ah, well then... go to the directory with that file in terminal and type `sudo sh ./filename` where fileame is the script's name | 07:17 |
| Rehan`Away | i cant seem to choose the platinum style on kde, can anyone help | 07:18 |
| fiber | Avinash: the `sudo` will make it so the command is run as root (or super user, same name) | 07:18 |
| fiber | Avinash: it will ask you for a password, that is your password | 07:18 |
| Edijus | Ubuntu detects my wirelles, but I still need dial. How to do that? | 07:18 |
| toyo|desk | because that would most likely be the easiest way to update to the latest drivers | 07:18 |
| Avinash | thanks fiber | 07:18 |
| fiber | Avinash: np | 07:18 |
| toyo|desk | if not I guess I can install them myself | 07:18 |
| toyo|desk | :/ | 07:18 |
| Avinash | i will try just now and get back toyou | 07:19 |
| === ladyfantasy is now known as oddgoose | ||

| john_ | me lag | 07:19 |
| fiber | toyo|desk: that's probably the best choice... there'll only be .deb packages as fast as people feel like making them, so chances are you won't get nightlies like that or anything bleeding edge... but you can also try turning off stable in your sources.list | 07:19 |
| Rat409 | Edijus: gnomeppp? | 07:19 |
| ackbahr | Hi! Is there a way to get some kind of virtual desktop (a big desktop in which the screen pans) with gnome? I've got an app that is bigger than my screen.... :( | 07:20 |
| Rehan | is it wrong to install kde 4 along with kde 3.5 | 07:20 |
| Rat409 | Edijus: or wv-dial | 07:20 |
| toyo|desk | ah fiber thanks...is there a way to only turn off stable in my sources for particular packages or is it all or nothing? | 07:20 |
| Edijus | Rat409: Is it installed by defoult in ubuntu? | 07:20 |
| jimdandy | ackbahr, if it is a gnome app, you can hold alt, and click and drag it around with the mouse. | 07:20 |
| Rat409 | not sure doubt it tho | 07:21 |

| floppyears | hi guys | 07:21 |
| floppyears | what's the best way in ubuntu to upgrade the kernel ? | 07:21 |
| fiber | toyo|desk: not too sure... i think i saw something like that in synaptic (right click on the package)... but not from the sources.lst | 07:21 |
| Rehan | so, cant anyone help me | 07:21 |
| toyo|desk | ah screw it I will just build it... | 07:21 |
| toyo|desk | :D | 07:21 |
| toyo|desk | cant possibly be that hard to do | 07:21 |
| toyo|desk | lol | 07:21 |
| fiber | toyo|desk: haha, good call! also that way you can use some good old -O3 optimizations and get a few extra precious FPS | 07:22 |
| chuy_max | floppyears, update-manager actualizes to the latest in the repository | 07:22 |
| Avinash | Fiber the file is on desktop | 07:22 |
| floppyears | thanks chuy_max | 07:22 |
| toyo|desk | fiber, when I ran gentoo I stuck with -Os | 07:22 |
| chuy_max | floppyears, if you want the newest kernel you might download binaries or compile it | 07:22 |
| toyo|desk | :D | 07:22 |
| Avinash | how do i execute it | 07:22 |
| fiber | Avinash: cd ~/Desktop/ | 07:22 |
| fiber | Avinash: sudo sh ./filename | 07:23 |
| chuy_max | floppyears, most users don't want/need that | 07:23 |
| floppyears | chuy_max: what's the latest kernel available for ubuntu ? | 07:23 |
| ackbahr | Thanks jimdandy! | 07:24 |
| floppyears | chuy_max: I'm not in front of the computer, only logged in through ssh so I can't use the update manager :( | 07:24 |
| wols | 2.6.24-21 | 07:24 |
| wols | floppyears: you can use apt-get instead | 07:24 |
| Avinash | fiber it says cant open file | 07:25 |
| floppyears | my video card and sound card are not working correctly so that's why I want to try the latest kernel | 07:25 |
| jimdandy | ackbahr, no problem! | 07:25 |
| floppyears | so ubuntu doesn't have 2.6.26.2 ? | 07:25 |
| fiber | Avinash: it's normally helpful if you copy/paste errors | 07:25 |
| wols | sound it can help, video it won't | 07:25 |
| Avinash | that is what i have done | 07:25 |

| john_ | wah if all chat at 1 time cant see message should put in slow mode 1 message per 30 second :) | 07:27 |

| yinepuhotep | lint: Azureus doesn't search. | 07:29 |

| wols | Avinash: NEVER ever use drivers from the manufacturer. it leads to grief | 07:30 |
| floppyears | what's the best way to compile and install a kernel from source ? | 07:30 |
| yinepuhotep | I can understand why Avinash would want to, though. I have a Radeon, and the fglrx that ships with Ubuntu does not provide adequate support. | 07:31 |
| Avinash | wols as you say | 07:31 |
| wols | floppyears: kernel-package. but a new kernel is not the solution to your problems | 07:31 |
| yinepuhotep | That's why I used Synaptic to install EnvyNG. | 07:31 |
| wols | floppyears: not to mention chances are you bork it | 07:31 |

| wols | *ubuntu are all the same distros but each using a different desktop environment. gnome, kde, xfce... | 07:59 |
| tenlet | well got a 60gb HD to use | 07:59 |
| john_ | ebay 20g hardisk :) | 07:59 |
| tenlet | probably go with 40 for XP and 20 for ubuntu | 07:59 |
| yinepuhotep | Good figure to start with, given how much of a hog XP is. | 07:59 |
| SnickleFritz | wols: fdisk only lists sda and the partitions on it. | 07:59 |
| w3rd_ | my question is if i install a local smtp sever how will i be able to send out to people if not public./ | 08:00 |
| tenlet | yine: you installed XP first right? | 08:00 |
| newbiew | wols.. ubuntu come with open office and xubuntu does not | 08:00 |
| class_ | wols, thank you , i removed it sucesfuly, do you have any idea how to fix splashy? | 08:00 |
| newbiew | and is not even in synaptic.. so ubuntu come by default with more repos | 08:00 |
| newbiew | i need my xubuntu to have ubuntu support. how i do this | 08:01 |
| yinepuhotep | tenlet: I did. And once I had Ubuntu installed, I edited my Grub config to give me 10 seconds to choose an OS on boot. It's easy enough to do. | 08:01 |
| john_ | me spec is 500mb ram ,pentium 3 500ghz ok ??? | 08:01 |
| ackbahr | Bye, CU all! | 08:01 |
| wols | newbiew: no. xubuntu comes with the same repos. you just havent activated them | 08:01 |
| wols | w3rd_: you will need a smarthost | 08:01 |
| newbiew | can you teach me how or can you give me a guide | 08:01 |
| newbiew | thanks | 08:01 |
| tenlet | yine: nice that is what I want also.. can you change the default OS though? | 08:01 |
| yinepuhotep | john: Should be. I installed my first system in a 333mhz P2. | 08:01 |
| wols | class_: read the splashy docs how to actually use it | 08:02 |
| yinepuhotep | tenlet: Yes, you can. Same config file lets you choose which OS to boot by default. | 08:02 |
| john_ | :) its install but a bit laggy | 08:02 |
| newbiew | wols.. are this the deb. repos? | 08:02 |
| wols | tenlet: yes. in menu.lst | 08:02 |
| newbiew | how do i active it | 08:02 |
| wols | newbiew: yes. but NOT partner | 08:02 |
| class_ | wols, the problem is that is wont install... | 08:02 |
| w3rd_ | wols: any recommendations? | 08:02 |
| tenlet | ok then.. I have XP installed but have been using it for a bit, a clean format is recommended for this right? | 08:02 |
| newbiew | ok | 08:02 |
| newbiew | how do i active it? | 08:02 |
| wols | class_: it did install | 08:02 |
| yinepuhotep | tenlet: Depends. Do you have empty space on your drive that XP doesn't already own? | 08:03 |
| john_ | would a 128mb graphic card help | 08:03 |
| wols | tenlet: not needed. and we don't do XP advice | 08:03 |
| wols | john_: no. more RAM would | 08:03 |
| kcman1 | what is the command to change dir in terminal | 08:03 |
| tenlet | yine: about 40/60 gb used at the moment | 08:03 |
| yinepuhotep | If you don't, then it's easier to do a clean install, because you can never be sure your defrag will clean up the drive enough for parted to give you a good division. | 08:03 |
| john_ | ok i guess buy grahpic card (ebay) | 08:03 |
| john_ | ram 500 sdram | 08:04 |
| tenlet | eh whatever ill do a format | 08:04 |
| newbiew | Wols, how can I activate the repos? | 08:04 |
| yinepuhotep | tenlet: Sounds like you'll be safer that way. Less chance of losing things you want to keep. | 08:04 |

| loxs | folks, which package do I install to have colourful fonts in the terminals? | 08:06 |
| wols | SnickleFritz: until fdisk -l shows a partition there is nothing to mount. ever | 08:06 |
| wols | loxs: none | 08:06 |

| bullgard4 | In Gutsy there was an executable program hal-device-manager. What did it replace in Hardy? | 08:07 |
| loxs | and do you have any idea how to make my terminals with colorful fonts? | 08:07 |
| SnickleFritz | wols: Is there any information on what could be keeping fdisk from seeing the Ipod? | 08:08 |
| wols | SnickleFritz: is the ipod a mass storage device? | 08:08 |
| yinepuhotep | loxs: The only way I know to do it is to write a profile that defines colorful fonts. It's way too much work for me to bother. | 08:08 |
| john_ | aahh click on name to message him or her :) | 08:09 |
| loxs | hmm, yinepuhotep thank you... that means that I take the profile from my gentoo box... do you have any idea which file is that? | 08:09 |
| wols | loxs: ls --color | 08:09 |
| class_ | wols, do you know anythig about sound in hardy, i cant get any, i tried switching from alsa to pulse but to no avail,also couldnt google anything useful | 08:09 |

| ArtVandalae | Hi, does anyone know if the latest empathy packages exist for hardy? | 08:12 |
| SnickleFritz | wols: *shrug* An Ipod is an Ipod. According to my research, it should have been formatted in FAT32 when I first used it. I will allow more than just songs to be stored on it, and its HD could be directly accessed by WinXP. | 08:12 |

| Accuracy | so something must be wrong | 08:44 |
| Accuracy | because I can't access it | 08:45 |
| arethius | how do i use su in terminal to be root? is it just "su" then type the system password when prompted? | 08:45 |
| wols | arethius: you can't | 08:45 |
| Accuracy | yes, arethius | 08:45 |
| wols | arethius: there is no root account on ubuntu, so don't even try | 08:45 |
| bazhang | arethius, use sudo | 08:45 |
| Accuracy | o.O | 08:46 |
| Accuracy | su works for me | 08:46 |
| SuperQ | Accuracy: only if you enable a root password | 08:46 |
| wols | !noroot | 08:46 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 08:46 |
| hano | hi | 08:46 |
| SuperQ | exactly | 08:46 |
| Accuracy | ah | 08:46 |
| Accuracy | well anyway | 08:46 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | ah so in ubuntu u dont use sudo like in kubuntu? | 08:46 |
| SuperQ | the "no root password, use sudo" thing is a really good idea for most people | 08:46 |
| hano | i burned an 8.04 iso image on a cd, but there's no autoload when rebooting the computer | 08:47 |
| hano | how can I start the installation? | 08:47 |
| Accuracy | do you have any idea why ~/.xsession-errors does not axist? | 08:47 |
| wols | hano: check the cd content. what files are there? | 08:47 |
| SuperQ | hano: You probably need to adjust your BIOS boot list | 08:47 |
| arethius | alright, well, the ndiswrapper instructions say to open a terminal and change user to root to continue, so do I just ignore that part and continue on? | 08:47 |
| wols | arethius: why don't you use the ndiswrapper packages? | 08:47 |
| wols | !info ndisgtk | 08:47 |
| ubottu | ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.3-1 (hardy), package size 20 kB, installed size 344 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 08:47 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | ah so in ubuntu u dont use sudo like in kubuntu? | 08:47 |
| wols | strawbeRRy_fieLd: you use it exactly the same way | 08:48 |
| SuperQ | strawbeRRy_fieLd: No, you treat ubuntu and kubuntu the same | 08:48 |
| lecraM | ubottu: sorry | 08:48 |
| SuperQ | strawbeRRy_fieLd: By default, there is no root password, and you use sudo instead | 08:48 |
| hano | wols: theres some autorun.inf on the cd | 08:48 |
| wols | hano: then check bios as suggested | 08:48 |
| SuperQ | hano: The CD is not supposed to be used in windows | 08:48 |
| lecraM | ubottu:caps look ativate rsrs | 08:48 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | yes but in kubuntu when u use sudo it asks u a root password to go on | 08:48 |
| wols | strawbeRRy_fieLd: no | 08:49 |
| SuperQ | hano: You put the CD in and reboot the PC, it will start from the CD | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | is it the same in ubuntu? | 08:49 |
| lucky__ | hai | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | yes it does wols | 08:49 |
| wols | it asks you for your user password | 08:49 |
| SuperQ | hano: But you may need to adjust the boot priority order | 08:49 |
| PauloRicardo | what's the better/newer, gdialog or zenity? | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | ah ok | 08:49 |
| wols | strawbeRRy_fieLd: no it doesn't | 08:49 |
| hano | SuperQ: i'm currently using 6.10 | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | and that's different | 08:49 |
| bazhang | strawbeRRy_fieLd, that is not right. | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | alright i thought it was a root pass | 08:49 |
| wols | hano: update please | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | got it | 08:49 |
| SuperQ | hano: Oh, there is no direct upgrade path from 6.10 to 8.04 | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | so talking about it | 08:49 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | do you think gnome and then ubuntu is better than kubuntu? | 08:50 |
| SuperQ | hano: You either re-install, or you have to incremental upgrade it to 7.04, then 7.10, then 8.04 | 08:50 |
| hano | SuperQ: yes, that's why i saved all my files and tried to install 8.04 | 08:50 |
| SuperQ | strawbeRRy_fieLd: they're basically the same | 08:50 |
| r_a_f | howto kill process when sudo pkill, sudo kill killall dont kill him? | 08:50 |
| bazhang | strawbeRRy_fieLd, this is not a chat channel; see #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 08:50 |
| hano | SuperQ: i did as you said, put in the CD and rebooted - but it's not starting from the cd | 08:50 |
| lint_ | hello, can someone instruct me on installing an icon theme in gnome under ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | bazhag im not "chatting" im asking for a techinical opinion | 08:50 |
| SuperQ | hano: Like I said, you will need to go into the BIOS and make sure the CD is the first boot prioirity | 08:50 |
| bazhang | strawbeRRy_fieLd, not here. | 08:51 |
| SuperQ | hano: Have you tried the CD on another computer? | 08:51 |
| Accuracy | does anyone know a way to fix the gnome-settings-daemon crash without checking ~/.xsession-errors? | 08:51 |
| Kartagis | is is impossible to add more than 4 keyboard layouts under ubuntu? | 08:51 |
| arethius | i've installed ndisgtk and needed packages through the package manager, in terminal I type ndisgtk and it says sudo or root privileges required, so i type sudo root, then the password when prompted | 08:51 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | i dont see the prob.... anyway... | 08:51 |
| hano | SuperQ: no - maybe I have to set some "boot flags" when burning it to make clear that's supposed to be a boot-cd? | 08:51 |
| arethius | then try ndisgtk again and it gives me the same error | 08:51 |
| bazhang | arethius, only sudo, no root | 08:51 |
| SuperQ | hano: not if you did a direct ISO burn | 08:51 |
| hano | SuperQ: yes, I did. hm ok.. now, when booting the pc, GRUB starts | 08:52 |
| arethius | how do I open the ndisgtk graphical front end? | 08:52 |
| PauloRicardo | Zenity ship's with Ubuntu? Since when? | 08:52 |
| hano | SuperQ: maybe I'll have a look in the bios, though i'm not familiar with it.. | 08:53 |
| Accuracy | does anyone know a way to fix the gnome-settings-daemon crash without checking ~/.xsession-errors? | 08:53 |
| arethius | bazhang: thanks, that worked | 08:53 |

| bazhang | Bionic_Apple, then ask in their channel not here | 09:04 |

| Accuracy | how do I reinstall gnome desktop? I can't access the internet to download packages I don't already have, but I do have a gutsy cd | 09:06 |

| Accuracy | hardy is crashing my server :'( | 09:09 |

| wols | sleepster: to be expected | 09:10 |

| sleepster | wols: it can't understand 'alt' or 'control' keys | 09:11 |
| SnickleFritz | Accuracy: since you have access to internet now, Synaptic will allow you to download the packages themselves, if I understand correctly. Could you download them to a thumb drive and then unpack and install them onto your broken machine? | 09:11 |

| brez | question: like on windows, when I install a program, I find it in Program Files, when I install something on ubuntu, where's the folder, or what is it called :)? | 10:13 |
| brez | Hello! | 10:13 |
| wols | brez: there is no such single folder. dpkg -L <package> | less | 10:14 |
| brez | well, for exp | 10:14 |
| brez | Extract pevents.conf (and optionally colors.conf) to your XChat profile directory | 10:14 |
| wols | brez: in linux, files are installed in different places | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | brez: its everywhere man, apps use librarys that are dotted all over the place then the main binary will sit in /bin or /usr/bin | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | brez: there is no program files equiv | 10:15 |
| wols | brez: ~/.xchat or such | 10:15 |
| moncojhr | yoyoyo | 10:15 |
| wols | brez: profiles and settings for your user are in your $home only | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | brez: app config is done per user and is stored in your home dir (~/) | 10:15 |
| moncojhr | just put on the new ubuntu, and internet speeds are FUCKED IN THE ASS | 10:15 |
| hischild | brez, profile directories are user specific. That means that they will normally be in your home directory, also known as ~ | 10:15 |
| brez | ah | 10:15 |
| wols | system wide config is in /etc, binaries in /usr/bin and a few other places, libraries in /usr/lib and others, etc | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | brez: if you go to your ~/ and type ls -a you will see all the hidden configs | 10:15 |
| moncojhr | what the fuck is going on i get like 0.04kb/s | 10:16 |
| === jabba_ is now known as jabba80 | ||
| hischild | moncojhr, there can be multiple things, such as a slow network in general, other pc's that are downloading or a misconfigured network card. | 10:16 |
| brez | confused :) | 10:16 |
| brez | still nodea where my xchat profile would be :D | 10:17 |
| moncojhr | vista/fedora worked fine | 10:17 |
| wols | brez: you got told several times. in your home directory | 10:17 |
| moncojhr | on the exact same machine | 10:17 |
| hischild | brez, go to places and then click home. Then press ctrl+h and look for xchat | 10:17 |
| moncojhr | the network problem seems to be system wide | 10:17 |
| brez | oh | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | moncojhr: reboot your router, maybe theres a tweak for yur nic to make it groovier | 10:18 |
| moncojhr | i tried already | 10:18 |
| brez | Thanks :D | 10:18 |
| moncojhr | 0.4kb/s compared to my normal 1.5mb/s | 10:18 |

| brez | with an o | 10:22 |
| porncake | i would refer to packet manager :) | 10:22 |
| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, 1. go to system administration and then synaptic package manager. 2. They'll have shortcuts in your menu. | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu_noob: use synaptic in the menus | 10:22 |
| Ubuntu_noob | sudo apt-get pac.tar -o ? | 10:22 |
| hischild | brez, not all new people like console ways. | 10:22 |
| brez | im new, that's the only way I know | 10:22 |
| brez | haha, what am I missing? | 10:23 |
| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, and about the third one you'll have to be more specific. | 10:23 |
| a_l_e | Ubuntu_noob: 1. synaptic 2. click in the menu 3. well, you should first become a better user first :-) | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | brez: me too but most users like a pretty clicky thing | 10:23 |
| Ubuntu_noob | I want to know 1. and 2. "D | 10:23 |

| brez | I feel like a hacker when I type uptime | 10:23 |

| ActionParsnip | brez: netstat -a makes you look like ahacker too | 10:24 |
| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, you mean you want to change your MAC adress of your network card? | 10:24 |
| brez | ;p | 10:24 |
| a_l_e | Ubuntu_noob: don't download from the internet, first learn to use your package manager! | 10:24 |
| Ubuntu_noob | hischild: yes, and ifconfig don't work | 10:24 |
| wols | Ubuntu_noob: ifconfig can change MAC | 10:24 |
| wols | Ubuntu_noob: what ifconfig command did you try? | 10:24 |
| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, ifconfig will work. Please share the command you tried with us. | 10:24 |
| rtz3463 | Ubuntu_noob: ifconfig _does_ work. you have to set mac while the interface is down. | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu_noob: you can change it in /etc/network/interfaces but id get use to the system before taking on any massive projects | 10:25 |
| Ubuntu_noob | ifconfig eth0 down | 10:25 |
| Ubuntu_noob | ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX... | 10:25 |

| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, try not to use so many enters please. do you still have that console open? | 10:26 |
| Ubuntu_noob | no | 10:26 |
| Ubuntu_noob | i'm using windows, as if i want to have internet connection i need to change mac | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu_noob: you'll need sudo to do that sort of jazz | 10:27 |
| anormallu | hi .... i have freezing cpu ... xorg process have 100% ... what can i do? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Ubuntu_noob: your mac address should be the same in windows and ubuntu | 10:27 |
| Penmaster | g | 10:27 |
| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, ifconfig eth0 down will make sure it's down. Run ifconfig and it shouldn't show anymore to check. Then use << ifconfig eth0 hw ether 1a:2b:3c:4d:5e:6f >> to change it to that MAC (without the << and >> ofcourse) | 10:28 |
| Ubuntu_noob | ActionParsnip: i know this is why i want to ask how to do it ;:D | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: you can change it in registry | 10:28 |
| hischild | Ubuntu_noob, then lastly you have to get it back up with ifconfig eth0 up | 10:28 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: yes, but he shouldn't need to | 10:28 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, he's saying that it should just be the same with windows and ubuntu. | 10:28 |
| Ubuntu_noob | hischild: i did, and it says SIOSIFFLAGS Error | 10:28 |
| ikonia | hischild: and it should be default | 10:28 |
| needhelp | Can anyone help me to get sound work on ubuntu please? I hear no sound, and I see no errors. Here is my configs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39061/ | 10:28 |
| wols | Ubuntu_noob: you must use sudo for the ifconfig commands. or it will error | 10:29 |

| oddalot | windows users can do more than linux users | 10:31 |
| oddalot | that is why there are so many viruses | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | oddalot: not if they are created as users which they should be, idiots run apps as admin | 10:32 |
| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip, Thanks | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: super websearch powers to the rescue | 10:32 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, any user, even with the lowest permissions, can do more then normal users that run linux. | 10:33 |
| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip, Yea, i found the page just after i hit the enter key heh | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: again, depends on config and permissions | 10:33 |
| pradeep240484 | hai i have problem | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | pradeep240484 | 10:33 |
| ubottu | pradeep240484: 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. :-) | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | hischild: group policy can stop pretty much any activity in windows | 10:34 |
| pradeep240484 | i need printer driver for wep 810 usb | 10:34 |
| wols | pradeep240484: check linuxprinting.org | 10:34 |

| yaazel | Hey guys...when I run a ./configure script while installing through source, I gives the following error:----- checking if compiler supports -Wl,-rpath,... yes checking build system type... Invalid configuration `./configure': machine `./configure' not recognized configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub ./configure failed ----- can any one please tell me why am I getting this error. | 10:35 |
| pradeep240484 | wipro wep | 10:35 |
| hischild | ActionParsnip, even so, due to how windows responds to activity it's much more insecure and any user that isn't a power user isn't going to go search in group policy to just turn something off. | 10:35 |
| needhelp | Need help! Sound device is detected by Ubuntu, but there is no soundoutput anywhere. I have ofcourse checked the connections and volumecontrols. | 10:35 |

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 | 10:36 |

| xukun | moncojhr, I,m not using windows | 11:06 |

| gd1 | hi, I'm near to solve a problem, but I need your help | 12:43 |
| gd1 | I can install Ubuntu 7.10 but not 8.04 because of a kernel incompatibility | 12:43 |
| k31to | is there a way to make rhythmbox show the artwork embedded in an mp3 file? | 12:44 |
| gd1 | with my hardware | 12:44 |
| MikeSeth | k31to: mp3 supports embedded artwork? @_@ | 12:44 |
| gd1 | how can I install 8.04 with OLD kernel (2.6.22-14-generic) | 12:44 |
| k31to | MikeSeth: yes | 12:44 |
| gd1 | that wonderful old kernel works fine with my hardware | 12:44 |
| === Teisei_ is now known as Teisei | ||
| k31to | MikeSeth: using EasyTag or some other media tagger you can choose an image to embed | 12:46 |
| gd1 | no ideas? | 12:46 |
| gd1 | like updating 7.10 to 8.04 | 12:46 |
| gd1 | keeping old kernel? | 12:46 |
| afriendforyou_ | anyone does know a chat support for ubuntu? | 12:46 |
| Teisei | Can somebody tell me what to do? I can't use both cores of my processor because if I do that I'm unable to boot to Ubuntu (7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10) normally ... I will get kernel panics and cpu failures | 12:46 |
| bullgard4 | What is a 'Platform Device'? (As displayed by the 'Device Manager' program) | 12:47 |

| MikeSeth | Teisei: SMP kernel? | 12:47 |
| Teisei | SMP ? | 12:47 |
| Teisei | Generic | 12:47 |
| MikeSeth | now that I think of it I have Thinkpad Z60m and it only runs a single core too | 12:47 |
| emorris | hi, where are logon passwords stored in Ubuntu? | 12:47 |
| wols | emorris: /etc/shadow | 12:48 |
| Teisei | If I enable Core Multi Processing from BIOS I can't even boot to Ubuntu Live CD | 12:48 |
| rtz3463 | emorris: /etc/shadow, but they aren't stored there in plain text | 12:48 |
| rtz3463 | emorris: unix systems only store password hashes | 12:48 |
| MikeSeth | Teisei: I havent tried to run it multicore so I don't know | 12:49 |
| ERICH_MOBILE | when i use a usb mouse and its plugged in before i power on the mouse works fine. after a restart though, the mouse lags really bad and is unusable. Any ideas? | 12:49 |
| emorris | wols, rtz3463: thanks. i was pretty sure they would be encrypted. i just needed them to check how secure they were | 12:50 |
| rtz3463 | emorris: hash != encryption | 12:50 |
| Teisei | I tried Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD and it actually booted ! But any newer Live CD's, as well as the installed systems, don't work with Core Multi Processing enabled ... I can only boot to recovery mode | 12:50 |
| Teisei | I wonder if there's a problem with kernels newer than what's in 6.06 Live CD ... or then it is my hardware | 12:50 |
| Teisei | But I've heard many people have same problems | 12:51 |
| emorris | rtz3463: you know what i meant | 12:51 |
| Toth | hey all | 12:51 |
| rtz3463 | emorris: a hash function is a one-way function, cannot be reversed. more than one password can result in the same hash value | 12:51 |

| GnuGustavo | Mornin' for everyone.. Someone who can help me with just one question about ubuntu server? Excuse my bad english... my main language is Spanish | 14:17 |
| ka | hi ..i installed ubuntu on a tiny laptop i rcently bought .. it came with vista and i installed ubuntu coz i would make it more efficient .. thing is this pc is a hcl mileep .. basically its an 800 MHZ, 1 gb ram ,7 inch 80 gb | 14:17 |
| Denise | how come I cant see the sources lists? | 14:17 |
| Melchmon | hey guys is there a terminal comand that will go through and delete lines of a txt file? | 14:18 |
| Pici | GnuGustavo: Just ask | 14:18 |
| Pici | Denise: Hmm? What do you mean? | 14:18 |
| Denise | if I try to see them with /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:19 |
| perlsyntax | Is there something for linux you can make your own app for the iphone? | 14:19 |
| Denise | it says no authorisation | 14:19 |
| Pici | Denise: What command are you using? | 14:19 |
| GnuGustavo | Pici, how many remote conections does ubuntu server admits... simultaneously? | 14:19 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 14:19 |
| ka | hi ..i installed ubuntu on a tiny laptop i rcently bought .. it came with vista and i installed ubuntu coz i would make it more efficient .. thing is this pc is a hcl mileep .. basically its an 800 MHZ, 1 gb ram ,7 inch 80 gb .. is there anything i can tweak to make it faster ?? it hangs :( | 14:19 |
| javaJake | damien_: Sorry it's taking so long. :/ | 14:19 |
| javaJake | Does anyone else here recall where the flash plugin gets installedA? | 14:20 |
| Melchmon | I am basicly looking for the opposite of echo | 14:20 |
| rtz3463 | Denise: use this: less /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:20 |
| Pici | GnuGustavo: I would assume that would depend on what services you are providing from the server. | 14:20 |
| JediMaster | what's the command to bring up the X screen settings/card details? | 14:20 |
| Pici | Melchmon: theres many cli tools to do that, sed, awk, grep, tr... | 14:20 |
| Melchmon | Pici, I know grep searches. But I want to take what grep gives me and remove that line | 14:21 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: grep -v ... | 14:21 |
| Pici | Melchmon: grep -v will return the opposite of what you search for | 14:21 |
| prosthetics | melch grep -v | 14:21 |
| bullgard4 | The 'Device Manager' program on my computer lists a 'vesafb.0' platform device. What does the '.0' stand for? Is it the first of several vesafb platform devices? (But I have got only one. And the other platform devices have no .0 suffix.) | 14:21 |
| Melchmon | Pici, i know what -v does | 14:23 |
| Melchmon | Pici i just want to go through a text file and search for something and the delete that line | 14:23 |
| Pici | Melchmon: Perhaps you're looking sed with an inline edit? | 14:23 |
| GnuGustavo | Pici, Actually i have four users who log in a win server just to use an erp.... they only use 3389 port, so i want to erase that OS for this one | 14:23 |
| jokoon | I did a drag and drop using sftp, why is it so slow ? 11kb/s on a wireless local network | 14:24 |
| Melchmon | Pici, sed you say.......i'll look at its man page thank you | 14:24 |
| javaJake | Melchmon: make a copy of the file, grep it, and > it to the old file? | 14:24 |
| javaJake | That's what I'd do :P | 14:24 |
| GnuGustavo | Pici, but i really don't know how many remote connections does this one admits... obviously, at the very same time | 14:24 |
| ka | hi ..i installed ubuntu on a tiny laptop i rcently bought .. it came with vista and i installed ubuntu coz i would make it more efficient .. thing is this pc is a hcl mileep .. basically its an 800 MHZ, 1 gb ram ,7 inch 80 gb .. is there anything i can tweak to make it faster ?? it hangs :( | 14:25 |
| Denise | anyway | 14:25 |
| Denise | i think I received a malicious video | 14:25 |
| Melchmon | Pici, I don't know if this is what i want. I want to just delete a line from my todo.txt file | 14:25 |
| Pici | GnuGustavo: You'd need to look at the documentation for whatever program you are providing, Linux in and of itself doesnt have a preset connection limit that I am aware of. | 14:26 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: and you don't want to use a text editor for that? | 14:27 |
| Melchmon | rtz3463, i'm trying to find a comand so it become quick and easy. | 14:27 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: then you have to use something like sed or grep | 14:27 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: how can you identify the line? does it match a regexp? | 14:28 |
| Pici | sed can do with one command, but if you're just removing one line its probably overkill. | 14:28 |
| bullgard4 | Why does lspci list two different entries "00:02:0 VGA compatible controller: i915GM" and "00:02.1 Display controller: i915GM"? | 14:28 |
| Melchmon | rtz3463, I am numbering the lines 1,2,3,4, etc | 14:28 |

| rtz3463 | Melchmon: and which line do you want to delete? | 14:29 |
| Melchmon | line 4 | 14:29 |
| wols | Achoth: reinstall grub and then your kernel | 14:29 |
| Achoth | wols: How? | 14:29 |
| Melchmon | when i ran this comand it just deleted the file. | 14:29 |
| === jondoe is now known as dewman | ||

| Melchmon | grep -iv call todo.txt > todo.txt | 14:29 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: you cannot use the same file as output | 14:30 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: you have to use a temp file | 14:30 |
| javaJake | Achoth: Ouch. You'll need to boot into the Live CD, first off. | 14:30 |
| === robert__ is now known as r4b | ||

| javaJake | Achoth: OK, are you online? | 14:30 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: grep -iv call todo.txt > todotmp ; mv todotmp todo.txt | 14:30 |
| Melchmon | rtz3463, can i link the files? | 14:31 |
| Achoth | javaJake: Obviously :p | 14:31 |
| javaJake | Achoth: haha, jsut checking :) | 14:31 |
| r4b | can anyone recommend a lan traffic monitor? I'd like to know the bandwidth usage of the computers on my lan | 14:31 |
| javaJake | Achoth: OK, personally I'd update the system using Update Manager. | 14:31 |
| rtz3463 | rtz3463: linking will not help | 14:31 |
| javaJake | Achoth: you certainly don't have to, though | 14:31 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: linking will not help | 14:31 |
| wols | javaJake: that won't work | 14:31 |
| Pici | Melchmon: or install the moreutils package and use sponge: grep -iv something file | sponge file | 14:31 |
| javaJake | wols: really? 'K... | 14:31 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: either use a temp file or use sed with inline editing | 14:31 |
| wols | cause apt still thinks those packages are still installed, even when their files are gone | 14:31 |
| Melchmon | rtz3463, can u show me the syntax of sed please | 14:32 |

| oldenglish | It was all working yesterday fine. | 14:32 |
| wols | Yud_Zroc: install ubuntu-desktop | 14:32 |
| rtz3463 | Melchmon: the syntax of sed cannot be explained easily. it has many functions, therefore the syntax is complicated. | 14:32 |
| Yud_Zroc | ....wols other way around | 14:33 |
| Yud_Zroc | i have them all installed | 14:33 |
| Melchmon | rtz3463, i think I'm going to go with Grep and spong | 14:33 |
| wols | then what is the problem Yud_Zroc if you have them all? | 14:33 |
| Yud_Zroc | i want to switch | 14:33 |
| wols | Yud_Zroc: choose which to use on login | 14:33 |

| imperfect- | No ideas on optical out eh? | 15:01 |
| kaushal | through synaptic | 15:01 |
| legend2440 | dc2447: have you tried sudo displayconfig-gtk? | 15:01 |
| Pici | kaushal: How did you upgrade it? .7.0 is not available in the Hardy repositories. | 15:01 |
| amenado | Fujoor-> just make sure your iptables is up and running..dont worry too much about connecting encrypted via wireless | 15:01 |
| dc2447 | legend2440: I'm using openbox - | 15:02 |
| kaushal | Pici, #deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main | 15:03 |
| kaushal | #deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main | 15:03 |
| Fujoor | amenado: but our router uses wpa, i cant run it without a password, just because ubuntu doesnt like my wpa, maybe you missunderstood me, this is not a iptables problem | 15:03 |
| kaushal | Pici, yt ? | 15:04 |
| rtz3463 | Fujoor: no, this is a broadcom problem. broadcom stinks. they refuse to give specs to linux developers, so everything must be reverse engineered. | 15:04 |

| damien_ | thanks | 15:12 |
| Pici | kaushal: That version number is from the ppa, its one of the packages that was pulled in through a dependency. | 15:12 |
| sssam | is a Makefile specific to a shell? do you get different make files for bash and tcsh? | 15:13 |
| oldenglish | damien_: then once it is installed, to download just do "clive <youtube url> | 15:13 |
| kaushal | ok | 15:13 |
| oldenglish | damien_: it will download it as an .flv file. If you want to convert it to an AVI or something else, i recommend the program Avidemux. | 15:13 |
| dorito | hello how do you send files via bluetooth on ubuntu, I have the bluetooth tray icon showing and its activated | 15:13 |
| Gnea | oldenglish: It's possible that your hardware is having problems switching between tasks, so let's try to re-route the IRQ settings. this can be done by appending pci=routeirq to the boot kernel sequence | 15:13 |
| zod21 | damien_ sure dude, let me know how it works | 15:14 |
| damien_ | where does it install to it has download | 15:14 |
| Av1 | hi | 15:14 |
| kaushal | Pici, what i have to do now | 15:14 |
| damien_ | its downloaded and installed . | 15:14 |
| Av1 | can anyone tell me how to check if my ATI graphics driver is working or not | 15:15 |
| Pici | kaushal: You need to remove that package and install it again, this time it should pull in the version from the regular Hardy repositories | 15:15 |
| Faust-C | anyone familiar w/ dar | 15:15 |
| wols | Av1: glxinfo | 15:15 |
| kaushal | ok | 15:15 |
| oldenglish | damien_: it automatically installs. From the command line, just type "clive <the youtube url you want to download>". It will download to whatever directory you are currently in. It is possible to use clive to re-encode the video on the fly but I have never had much luck with that. | 15:15 |
| Faust-C | i used the HUBackup but i dont want to fully restore | 15:15 |
| Gnea | !anyone | Faust-C | 15:15 |
| ubottu | Faust-C: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 15:15 |
| damien_ | thanks | 15:15 |
| Faust-C | Gnea, gee thx | 15:15 |
| Av1 | should i type in terminal window | 15:15 |
| zod21 | it installs directly to firefo | 15:16 |
| zod21 | firefox* | 15:16 |
| zod21 | damien_ sweet restart firefox and go to youtube and right click on the white area around the vid you wanna dload and select the name of it, it downloads it. play them with vlc media player | 15:16 |
| Gnea | Faust-C: no idea what dar is anyway, so yeah, please don't be vague. | 15:16 |
| Faust-C | Gnea, so why even respond | 15:16 |
| Faust-C | anyways, i dont want to fully restore a backup, i just want to restore a directory | 15:16 |
| Gnea | Faust-C: why ask in the first place? | 15:16 |
| Av1 | wols | 15:17 |
| damien_ | i cant seem to get it to work | 15:17 |
| Av1 | should i type that in ternimal window | 15:17 |
| oldenglish | damien_: PM me and we can work it out | 15:17 |
| Gnea | Faust-C: well, taking a look at it. | 15:17 |
| Faust-C | i try "dar -O -x <dar archive>/<dir> | 15:17 |
| oldenglish | Gnea: Clearing my firefox cache and restarting it seems to have solved the issue. | 15:17 |
| Faust-C | but it asks for file.1.dar, its there ? | 15:17 |
| Gnea | oldenglish: okay. what about the dvd? is it still giving the error? | 15:18 |
| oldenglish | Gnea: I haven't checked, don't need to play the DVD though. | 15:18 |
| Gnea | oldenglish: so it's not a thorn in your side? :) | 15:19 |

| cbk486 | No, you can install packages with the command line also | 15:59 |
| cbk486 | but you can use Synaptic | 15:59 |
| cbk486 | !packages | 15:59 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 15:59 |

| bbq^ | and it would crash | 16:41 |
| Pici | greymalkin: Why did you remove gnome-volume-manager ? | 16:41 |
| greymalkin | Pici: Because it's automounting our compact flash devices in the middle of our build after we write the partition tables and make filesystems. | 16:42 |
| Fish-Face | Hey all, I'm having some trouble with an old but updated ubuntu system | 16:42 |

| BeCreative | whats a good dvd player for ubuntu? cause totem aint working ... | 16:52 |
| klimmy | hi | 16:52 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, I use xine | 16:52 |
| Acorn | anyone got any idea on how to solve my problem? | 16:52 |
| ValentineX1 | Hello how to instal modem I am tired of it. | 16:52 |
| Odd-rationale | BeCreative: vlc is pretty good | 16:52 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, also consider googling on how to change/modify the totem backend | 16:53 |
| Odd-rationale | BeCreative: or you could uninstall totem-gstreamer and use totem-xine | 16:53 |
| Fish-Face | I always found gstreamer to be a bit flaky | 16:53 |
| klimmy | i have problems installing ubuntu 8.04 on my macbook. i read the guide on help.ubuntu.com but that does not work for me | 16:53 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, aye, what Odd-rationale said | 16:53 |
| klimmy | somehow i cannot boot into ubuntu | 16:53 |
| Fish-Face | mplayer's another popular one | 16:53 |
| Sinnerman | BeCreative: you can use vlc, although i hear people using mplayer. | 16:53 |

| Fish-Face | ValentineX1, you can use alien to convert an RPM to a DEB | 16:56 |
| Pici | ValentineX1: alien can convert .rpm files to .deb, but I highly suggest not doing that. | 16:56 |
| hume | hi.. anyone can guide me on how to make the cpu temperature sensor work? I have ln-sensors installed and a hdd-temp sensor running - but would need a cpu sensor as well | 16:56 |
| Fish-Face | but there's no standard .sh installation method, so one cannot convert those to deb simply | 16:56 |
| ValentineX1 | Fish-Face: Pici: where to get that | 16:56 |
| asfak | why as user i can't access windows drive from dolphin in kubuntu intrepid a4 ? | 16:56 |
| Fish-Face | hume, unfortunately I only found gkrellm :[ | 16:56 |
| Pici | ValentineX1: In our package repositories | 16:56 |
| Pici | asfak: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. | 16:56 |
| bazhang | ValentineX1, look in repos first for package before trying rpm | 16:56 |
| klimmy | but i used exactly that howto | 16:57 |
| Acorn | What do I do if the drive I'm trying to mount in ubuntu live CD says that NTFS is marked to be in use so it can't be mounted? | 16:57 |
| Pici | ValentineX1: Always always look in the repositories before installing 3rd party packages, I cannot stress this enough. | 16:57 |
| Fish-Face | Acorn, it should give you a command to run | 16:57 |
| klimmy | though i went for 4 partitions | 16:57 |
| Fish-Face | Acorn, run that command and it will ignore the in-use flag | 16:57 |
| ValentineX1 | Pici: oh they are only for internet. when you have internet connection you can use them without net can't :( and I have modem installation problem also phone gprs installation I don't know | 16:57 |
| ValentineX1 | bazhang: ok | 16:57 |
| hume | Fish-Face, can gkrellm show cpu temp then? would I not need lm-sensors to operate correctly first? | 16:57 |
| BeCreative | vlc keeps crashing too. Can someone help me get my dvd working? | 16:58 |
| Pici | ValentineX1: You're going to be downloading the packages from somewhere, why not use the recommended method? | 16:58 |
| Melchmon | anyone using kde4 | 16:58 |
| Fish-Face | Hume, you'd still need lm-sensors, but it shows the temp | 16:58 |
| Fish-Face | using the sensors | 16:58 |
| Acorn | Fish-Face: Is that safe? Is it not possible to fix the flag instead? | 16:58 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, have you tried xine/mplayer, and does it give any output? | 16:58 |

| hume | Fish-Face, trying to install gkrelllm them | 16:59 |
| Fish-Face | Acorn, okay. I've not used the LiveCD much... | 16:59 |
| Fish-Face | try running vlc from the command line | 16:59 |

| Fish-Face | BeCreative, as in, no video? or no command-line output? | 17:01 |
| greymalkin | Okay, is there a way to revert packages to previous versions? | 17:01 |
| BeCreative | no video | 17:01 |
| greymalkin | Specifically gnome-volume-properties | 17:01 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, how are you starting mplayer/trying to play the video with mplayer? | 17:01 |
| danbhfive | greymalkin: there is something called pinning | 17:01 |
| BeCreative | how do I get my disk out wtf | 17:01 |
| greymalkin | danbhfive: Right.. but aptitude isn't showing the previous versions | 17:02 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, sometimes the auto-ummount goes wonky | 17:02 |
| Acorn | Fish-Face: I'll just run chkdsk from XP, hope it mounts after taht | 17:02 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, you can unmount the disk manually | 17:02 |
| ValentineX1 | Its so hard to read the guides at windows then to go back to linux for test if problem then I come back again at windows for help :(. coz my ubuntu is without net. | 17:02 |

| danbhfive | greymalkin: you mean from previous releases? | 17:02 |
| magnus_ | Ive got a weird problem with wlan. I can see all the surrounding wireless networks except my own.. | 17:02 |
| BeCreative | i give up, ubuntu sucks for watching dvd, that is for sure | 17:03 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, :[ | 17:03 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, please don't give up, it works for me :/ | 17:03 |
| danbhfive | greymalkin: if so, you should just download the package you are looking for from the ubuntu archives | 17:03 |
| BeCreative | what? I can watch dvd on windows out of the box | 17:03 |
| hume | Fish-Face, how do I make gkrellm show cpu temp? mine now shows processes and load but no temp | 17:03 |
| Fish-Face | hume, erm, I cannae remember... somewhere in the preferences I think you can find the option to display temp | 17:04 |
| zechs | hi all : synaptic froze at 'generating locales, tr_CY.UTF-8' and now I can't use synaptic anymore. Trying a dpkg --configure -a leaves the system hanging, doing nothing... what's going on and how do I fix this? A similar problem happened when I tried upgrading to 8.04, but the desktop no longer loaded, and I had to reinstall from an old CD. | 17:04 |
| Fish-Face | hume, have you done 'sensors-detect' or whatever it is? | 17:04 |
| hume | Fish-Face, nope...sensors-detect? | 17:04 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, true... I guess it depends how much you want ubuntu for other things | 17:04 |
| zechs | I cannot even boot an 8.04 livecd; I assume it's a hardware recognition problem, since I'm using a thinkpad X61 | 17:04 |
| Fish-Face | hume, I think that's the command... it will determine what sensors you have and load the appropriate modules | 17:05 |
| balle_ | hmm, can anybody tell me why my computer is at full speed on my processers, gkrellm says it's at 99% and i've just booted ubuntu... aint that kinda strange? | 17:05 |
| Wipster | woooo I got my canon i990 to work with cups, go me! | 17:05 |
| Pici | BeCreative: That is only due to dvd decryption. The easiest way to enable Ubuntu to play dvds is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:05 |
| Fish-Face | balle_, you can use gnome-system-monitor or top to see what's using the CPU | 17:05 |
| === WhiskeySour is now known as DreamThief | ||
| Fish-Face | Pici, oh bums I forgot about that | 17:06 |
| Pici | BeCreative: Totem has poor/no support for DVD menus, so I suggest using a different player, such as mplayer or vlc. | 17:06 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, yeah, what Pici said. Unfortunately, DVDs are encrypted in a manner which prevents free software from legally playing them | 17:07 |
| BeCreative | mplayer doesnt work, neither does vlc | 17:07 |
| bazhang | sure they do | 17:07 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, so you have to install this package in order to crack the encryption on the disks | 17:07 |
| BeCreative | im installer it now | 17:07 |

| Fish-Face | Because it's gettin' it wrong | 17:08 |
| BeCreative | mplayer hangs, how can I shut it off? | 17:08 |
| unop | Sinnerman, not the same but similar .. should be used with caution | 17:08 |
| Sinnerman | unop: and how good is that at not messing up my partition? :( | 17:08 |
| BeCreative | is still hanging from before the restricted extras | 17:08 |
| Fish-Face | BeCreative, gnome-system-monitor can do it, or you can type "killall mplayer" at the command line | 17:08 |
| unop | Sinnerman, depends, what's wrong with the volume? | 17:09 |
| Sinnerman | i would have thought they had something like fsck, considering they have resize capability... they need to be able to check they are making a coherent filesystem. :S | 17:09 |
| Fish-Face | balle_, ah | 17:09 |
| bazhang | BeCreative, go to www.medibuntu.org and install libdvdcss2 | 17:09 |
| Fish-Face | balle_, did you use top or gnome-system-monitor? | 17:09 |
| bbq^ | Fish-Face, do u know the command for terminal to list all your active processes ? | 17:09 |
| Fish-Face | bbq^, top | 17:09 |

| n3hima | Gnea, what an informative answer | 18:03 |
| Gnea | n3hima: what an offtopic question. | 18:03 |
| n3hima | Gnea, where should I ask? | 18:04 |
| tuxice | #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:04 |
| robelliott2125 | Does anyone know how to retreive data on a drive, which isn't being shown in either Windows or on a Ubuntu Live CD? The drive has data on there, and properties confirms data on the drives but nothing appears until veiwing hidden folders, to which .trash displays recent deleted items | 18:04 |
| pLr | fsufitch: if you have the 3945ABG it works, you can get the drivers from the restricted-manager | 18:04 |
| Gnea | n3hima: i would checkout #ubuntu-offtopic, #raid | 18:04 |
| tesik11 | @Gnea and wtha now , reinstall system ? | 18:04 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125. see if it is in another partition using gparted | 18:05 |
| Gnea | !rescue | tesik11 | 18:05 |
| ubottu | tesik11: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 18:05 |
| Gnea | !alternate | tesik11 | 18:05 |
| ubottu | tesik11: 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 | 18:05 |
| fsufitch | pLr, thanks, i will try that after my ubuntu upgrade goes through :) | 18:05 |
| robelliott2125 | tuxice, gparted shows the drives there, but the system will not mount the drives. When running a live disk, the disks mount, and can see the .trash, same being when booting into XP, but no data. | 18:06 |
| tesik11 | ok i try but later , my server i in roof :) | 18:06 |

| pLr | fsufitch: np i have it working already | 18:07 |
| tesik11 | cya | 18:07 |
| Gnea | KingdomOFish: yeah, f-spot blows. | 18:07 |
| robelliott2125 | None of those tuxice, they are internal drives. | 18:07 |
| KingdomOFish | Gnea: any suggestions on replacement? | 18:07 |
| gd1 | hi installed ubuntu 7.10 with default settings: then updated to 8.04 | 18:07 |
| Gnea | KingdomOFish: i usually just mount/browse with Places, works better that way | 18:07 |
| gd1 | is there any proprietary software in my system | 18:07 |
| KingdomOFish | Gnea: well i like the whole tagging images and using certain tags as screensaver | 18:08 |

| tuxice | robelliott2125: when was the last time you could access the drive | 18:08 |
| gd1 | I mean, 7.10 had no option for "install only free software" | 18:08 |
| Gnea | KingdomOFish: dunno | 18:08 |

| robelliott2125 | Before trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy two nights ago @ tuxice | 18:09 |
| robelliott2125 | gd1, as far as I know, ubuntu uses only free software, so you won't have anything charge-able unless you installed it within WINE. | 18:09 |
| tuxice | possibly this could be a bug in hardy? | 18:09 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: have you filed a bug report | 18:10 |
| sssam | is logging into the ubuntu forums working ok for people? each time i log in i still see the pages as if i am not. i had to input my username/password several times to post | 18:10 |
| smatt454 | robelliott, that is not true | 18:10 |
| smatt454 | ubuntu does not only use free software | 18:10 |
| soenke | hi dudes | 18:10 |
| robelliott2125 | smatt454, i know nothing different tbh, hence me saying "as far as i know" | 18:10 |
| gd1 | robelliot2125: it's not a matter of charge, but of "free software". I want a clean Ubuntu box with only free software | 18:10 |
| smatt454 | ok | 18:10 |
| fsufitch | pLr, my restricted manager gave me this "wl" thing, but it's enabled and "Not in use" | 18:11 |
| robelliott2125 | tuxice, i haven't filled any reports, but the thing is, the filesystem is NTFS, and all data was readable from both XP and Gutsy prior to me updating | 18:11 |
| soenke | wanna run dos application in wine with 640x480 on hardy (thinkpad t61) - but I get output "err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x8 @0! (XRandR)" - anyone? | 18:11 |
| Dans34 | i just got the ftpmonitor package from apt-get but i can work out how to start it | 18:11 |
| Pici | gd1: You may want to look into gnewsense or gobuntu if you want *only* foss software. ootb, Ubuntu only ships with free software, but you can easily add proprietary and other licensed software using the restricted repositories. | 18:11 |

| zechs | hi all : synaptic froze at 'generating locales, tr_CY.UTF-8' and now I can't use synaptic anymore. Trying a dpkg --configure -a leaves the system hanging, doing nothing... what's going on and how do I fix this? A similar problem happened when I tried upgrading to 8.04, but the desktop no longer loaded, and I had to reinstall from an old CD. | 18:12 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: possibly corrupted? | 18:12 |
| robelliott2125 | When the upgrade went belly up, I switched the pc off, and ended up having to install hardy from cd yesterday, but since, i've not been able to access any of the drives within the OS, nor access any info tuxice | 18:12 |

| robelliott2125 | I hope not tuxice, since those were brand new drives. If you check out the link i sent, it shows, one is a backup of linux stuffs, since i've had problems | 18:12 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: i am going to say the drives are corrupted. | 18:13 |
| maikkari | hi im newbie | 18:13 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: it is reccommended you NEVER switch off during an update | 18:13 |
| velvithammer | hehe | 18:13 |
| robelliott2125 | Yes, I downloaded the upgrade two nights ago, it froze, I switched off. I had planned on simply sorting it yesterday, but instead spent all day reinstalling, and just trying to get the system running | 18:13 |
| fsufitch | pLr, no current candidate or version found for restricted-manager | 18:14 |
| fsufitch | is there somewhere i can get its deb? | 18:14 |
| robelliott2125 | tuxice, I wouldn't normally ever switch off, but it had become frozen, i'd left it stuck at "15 mins to go" for an hour with no change, so I felt bedtime and deal tomorrow would suffice. | 18:14 |
| zechs | I'm using a thinkpad x61 with core2; how do I know whether to use 32 bit ubuntu livecd or 64 bit? | 18:14 |
| zechs | 32 bit doesn't even boot, but i've owned a thinkpad x61 before which did install ubuntu from that same livecd | 18:14 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: i see. | 18:14 |
| pLr | fsufitch: enable restricted / third party in synaptic | 18:14 |
| Sinnerman | i think i have found a bug in ntfs-3g; or something. when i mount a filesystem normally, i get all my files, some of which have unicode characters. i then mounted the same filesystem readonly, and a bunch of those files with unicode characters disappear. when i mount the partition readwrite again, the files reappear. why is that? | 18:15 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: unfortunatly i do not have the answer to your problem | 18:15 |
| robelliott2125 | Well, swallowing my pride, and accepting the loss of data tuxice, is there any way if I were to format the drives to EXT3, do you think the drives would be recognisable within Hardy? | 18:15 |
| === zechs is now known as etale | ||
| fsufitch | pLr, they're already enabled. i always do that first when installing ubuntu ;) | 18:16 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: i think there is a chance | 18:16 |
| etale | 32 bit doesn't even boot, but i've owned a thinkpad x61 before which did install ubuntu from that same livecd | 18:16 |
| etale | can someone help?? | 18:16 |
| robelliott2125 | No problem, I found a way to solve the freezing in updating yesterday, typically, so my lesson is learnt as far as updating Linux, but I just need the drives working again, with or without the data. | 18:16 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: ok | 18:16 |
| pLr | fsufitch: you should be able to apt-get remove and apt-get install restricted-manager.. get past this we can talk. | 18:17 |
| robelliott2125 | Thats good then tuxice, i just hope I can get the drives working again, but i've no clue about getting the drives to automount in Fstab, so is there anything you'd recommend to help me with that side of things? | 18:17 |
| Dethray | Keep getting an inout/output error during an install on my desktop. Seems like it is borking right after the creation of the partitions. Can't seem to get passed it | 18:17 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: they actually should automount after a reboot (of course after youve formated them ext3) | 18:18 |
| tuxice | fstab should already recognize them | 18:18 |
| robelliott2125 | would it matter with me formatting them from ntfs to ext3? | 18:18 |
| tuxice | no, it shouldnt | 18:18 |
| soundray | Dethray: that's usually a hardware fault with the disk. You could run test utilities from the smartmontools package from the live CD on the HD. | 18:18 |
| robelliott2125 | Excellent. I did have a prob when using gutsy as far as the drives go, but hoping it works for hardy. | 18:19 |
| kromcuich | please help with apache error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39171/ | 18:19 |
| tuxice | remember after formatting to leave the computer off for 35 seconds too let the drives stop spinning | 18:20 |
| theoby | hello! where can i find the ping source code on the pc? | 18:20 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: Hope this works for you! | 18:20 |

| robelliott2125 | Yeah, i know those tuxice, as much as i'm new to linux, i'm not new to pcs. So just trying to sort out the annoying issues. :P | 18:20 |

| tuxice | robelliott2125: No Problem | 18:20 |
| Pici | theoby: apt-get source iputils-ping | 18:21 |

| fsufitch | pLr, ubuntu hardy comes with jockey-gtk which apparently provides the functionality of restricted-manager. it is accessible in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 18:22 |
| soundray | unperson: you could make a change to those settings and then run 'find ~ -mmin -2' to find out which files under your home dir have changed in the last two minutes | 18:23 |
| robelliott2125 | Nice one cwill747, thank you!!! | 18:23 |
| theoby | soundray: i did that, but i didn't understand why i have to do that. i'm new to linux. | 18:23 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: possibly modify your xorg? | 18:23 |
| soundray | theoby: what is it that you don't understand? | 18:23 |
| tuxice | robelliott2125: did you go to system --> preferences --> screen resolution? | 18:24 |
| tsolox | how can i know, what that language is, during ubuntu installation..since I cannot read it's written in the language symbols..i just want to add that language support in my application...in ubuntu... | 18:24 |
| unperson | soundray, good idea! I thought of doing something like that, but I wasn't sure what tool to use to detect the change. | 18:24 |
| robelliott2125 | Yeah, first thing I tried, but it doesn't allow me to chose my gfx card / monitor unlike gutsy did | 18:24 |
| soundray | robelliott2125: try with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 18:24 |
| robelliott2125 | Thanks soundray | 18:24 |
| the_eraser | Hi | 18:25 |
| Sinnerman | i think i have found a bug in ntfs-3g or gnome mount thing; or something. when i mount a filesystem normally, i get all my files, some of which have unicode characters. i then mounted the same filesystem readonly, and a bunch of those files with unicode characters disappear. when i mount the partition readwrite again, the files reappear. why is that? the problem only happens if i mount a partition from within gnome (ie, removable devices). | 18:25 |

| whitman | Dans34, you shouldn't have to, though you can get source code via apt | 18:27 |

| tuxice | robelliot2125: i do not know of a tool that can if they are not recognized. Sorry :( | 18:34 |
| kromcuich | kitche: another error in apache logs says: apache error [error] Init: Private key not found. What does this mean? | 18:34 |
| robelliott2125 | No worries tuxice, *sigh*... Nevermind | 18:34 |
| robelliott2125 | Got more things to annoy you guys with anyway :P | 18:35 |
| Av1 | soundray envy is good | 18:35 |
| Av1 | u am using it | 18:35 |
| * robelliott2125 misses gutsy already :( | 18:35 | |
| tuxice | Sorry :( | 18:35 |
| Av1 | I am using it | 18:35 |
| robelliott2125 | Ahhh, no worries tuxice, as long as i can get the drives working again. | 18:35 |
| * robelliott2125 needs offsite backups now | 18:35 | |
| linxeh | or just backups :) | 18:35 |
| tuxice | you may be able to use a data recoverie program after the drives are formatted. | 18:35 |
| soundray | Av1: envy is unsupported and risky, so unless you are prepared to be in this channel around the clock to help people with it, don't recommend it here. | 18:36 |
| robelliott2125 | linxeh, i do backup, but the drive doesn't appear since going from gutsy to hardy :( | 18:36 |
| Dethray | Ugh, Envy | 18:36 |
| robelliott2125 | Nah, its ok tuxice, as long as the drives work, thats the main thing. The data can be rebuilt. | 18:36 |
| Av1 | soundray what do you suggest | 18:36 |
| linxeh | robelliott2125: well boot the gutsy live cd | 18:36 |
| Dans34 | does anyone know of an app like ftpmonitor .. that will run under plain ubuntu ? | 18:36 |
| Dethray | Use a wiki | 18:36 |
| linxeh | robelliott2125: does the device apear in dmesg / messages ? | 18:37 |
| soundray | Av1: see my reply to erlend, as well as ubottu's factoid ^^ | 18:37 |
| robelliott2125 | I did linxeh, the drives appear and mount, but no data is able to be seen | 18:37 |
| robelliott2125 | I don't know what you mean linxeh, i'm "new" to ubuntu | 18:37 |
| linxeh | robelliott2125: odd :/ | 18:37 |
| robelliott2125 | Yeah | 18:37 |
| King_Koopa | Anyone know how to get Damn Small Linux to work with a wireless card to connect to the internet? | 18:37 |
| Dethray | cat dmesg and see if there are any errors :) | 18:37 |
| robelliott2125 | Basically linxeh, as i am atm, theres no other drives, apart from within GParted. | 18:38 |
| linuxkrn | is there a mirror select tool for updates? I'm getting 680Bytes/s on us.archive.ubuntu.com :( | 18:38 |
| soundray | King_Koopa: this channel is for Ubuntu support - we can't provide help with other distributions here | 18:38 |
| King_Koopa | OK, thanks. | 18:38 |
| Flannel | linuxkrn: software sources in your admin menu | 18:38 |
| robelliott2125 | However, when I booted into live, it showed the drives, and two folders (when viewing hidden folders), one being .trash and another I can't recall. But the trash folder showed stuff I had recently deleted before all this happened. | 18:38 |

| Flannel | linuxkrn: Updates use the same repos as regular apt-get stuff | 18:38 |
| Av1 | cant find your reply soundray | 18:39 |
| soundray | King_Koopa: for what it's worth, have a look at the Ubuntu wireless docs -- it may or may not be applicable to DSL | 18:39 |
| soundray | !wifi > King_Koopa | 18:39 |
| ubottu | King_Koopa, please see my private message | 18:39 |
| unperson | soundray, Well, still nothing I can find. Thanks for your help, though. Your idea was a good one. | 18:39 |
| soundray | Av1: <soundray> erlend: System-Administration-Hardware Drivers | 18:39 |
| robelliott2125 | Interesting thing as well linxeh, is that when checking properties of the drives, it shows theres data on there (how much used / remaining) but again, nothing viewable | 18:39 |
| linuxkrn | well it only has server from US or Main server... should I change it to main? | 18:39 |
| robelliott2125 | I do have a thread open for help on the forums also linxeh | 18:39 |
| linxeh | robelliott2125: really odd. is any of it visible from the command line ? | 18:39 |
| Flannel | !mirrors | linuxkrn | 18:39 |
| ubottu | linuxkrn: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 18:39 |
| Av1 | soundray | 18:40 |
| robelliott2125 | I wouldn't know how to do anything like that linxeh | 18:40 |
| Av1 | i used that | 18:40 |
| Flannel | linuxkrn: Theres a list of mirrors, if you can't do it through the GUI, you can always just edit your sources.list by hand (it's really easy) | 18:40 |
| Av1 | but my graphics card stopped working | 18:40 |
| Rev | well, there should be a command like lshw, but especially for RAM memory | 18:40 |
| Rev | any idea what is it? | 18:40 |
| linxeh | robelliott2125: open a terminal, and type "mount" - it will show your drive mount points. you can then change into that diretory with cd, and run "ls -al" | 18:41 |
| Av1 | soundray my graphics card stopped working | 18:41 |
| robelliott2125 | I'm confused linxeh, sorry bud | 18:41 |
| soundray | Av1: keep it on one line please. For most graphics card, the binary NVidia driver that jockey-gtk provided is fine. If it didn't work for you and envy did, it still doesn't mean you should recommend envy here | 18:41 |
| linuxkrn | ah, didn't see there was a "select best server" to auto select. :) thanks | 18:41 |
| soundray | !worksforme | Av1 | 18:41 |
| ubottu | Av1: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 18:41 |

| furenku | mahfiaz, from gutsy to hardy | 19:12 |

| pmratpoison | Hardy amd64 user: my printer only works o.k. with some stupid proprietary rpm's provided by Canon. they are for x86, but I have x86_64. Can I use alien to make these rpm's into 64bit debs? | 19:13 |
| mahfiaz | furenku, have you looked into dmesg output? does this mentios your device? | 19:13 |
| Brucevdk | Flannel: I guess enabling password authentication and then using AllowUsers would be a OK solution? What do you think? | 19:13 |
| KDB9000 | mahfiaz: So what do I have to do to set the IP using iwconfig? | 19:13 |
| Flannel | Brucevdk: only thing I can think of for a mixed environment is to allow both. The people who don't have keys obviously can't use them. but then you run into the problem of allowing people with keys to log in with passwords. | 19:13 |

| furenku | mahfiaz, yes there is mention: " raw1394: disagrees about version of symbol hpsb_iso_recv_release_packets" | 19:14 |
| Brucevdk | Flannel: yeah that just crossed my mind too, I only want people designated as "must have keys" to be able to login with keys (not passwords) | 19:14 |

| Flannel | Brucevdk: Do the people with keys have admin access? | 19:15 |
| mahfiaz | furenku, search google for this, somebody may have stumbled on this before | 19:15 |
| godzirra | kbrosnan: Hrm... okay, so what do I need to do to get it to be able to print from firefox? It works on my laptop, just not my wife's. | 19:15 |

| KDB9000 | mahfiaz: What is with the key? If that is for the security, the wireless doesn't have security on it | 19:15 |
| furenku | mahfiaz, is there a way to quickly restore the kernel to the distribution default? | 19:16 |
| Flannel | Brucevdk: Since, if none of them could sudo, theoretically you could lock their accounts (I believe that won't affect the key based auth) | 19:16 |
| mahfiaz | KDB9000, then just leave key part out | 19:16 |

| BraveSpear | When the livecd I am creating boots up, it auto detects the monitor and vid card, and dynamically sets the resolution, refresh and color depth on the fly. If it worked on all pc's, then it wouldn't be an issue (the livecd is one I am creating for our work-at-home users that need to access citrix via a web browser through vpn). | 19:51 |

| godzirra | Gnea: on my laptop (ruinning intrepid) it works, on my wifes (running hardy) it doesn't | 20:36 |
| test34 | If you have overlapping partitions in your partition table (I know its really bad, but it must have been corrupted some how), the Ubuntu installer doesnt detect any partitions... yet Slackware and Windows do | 20:36 |
| Carroarmato0 | I've set-up a Vpn over pptp on my Ubuntu box. The interface created is ppp0. I wish to link the ppp0 interface to eth0 so I'm able to go online through my vpn. | 20:37 |
| Gnea | jatz: if you've already moved it via the commandline, it shouldn't show on the desktop trashbin anymore | 20:37 |
| hitman1985 | no sound on flash with pulse audio installed ? any help ? | 20:37 |
| mralexandro | i heard about a program that made it possible to play "pc" games in llinux | 20:37 |
| Qster | wine? | 20:37 |
| jatz | Gnea: I know. i mean, shouldn't I have been able to move out of the trash from nautilus? | 20:38 |
| carandraug | mralexandro, it's called wine | 20:38 |
| mralexandro | ok | 20:38 |
| test34 | mralexandro: you probably mean Windows | 20:38 |
| mralexandro | thanks:) | 20:38 |
| carandraug | !wine | mralexandro | 20:38 |
| ubottu | mralexandro: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 20:38 |
| mralexandro | yeah windows | 20:38 |
| Gnea | godzirra: the reason i ask, is that if the /etc/hosts file on your laptop was overwritten, then when you plug 'localhost' into the browser, it might be going elsewhere (aka, you'd be owned.) | 20:38 |
| Ethni | mralexandro:try wine ;-) | 20:38 |
| mralexandro | i will, thanks | 20:38 |

| godzirra | Gnea: Right. Its 127.0.0.1, like it shuold be :) | 20:38 |
| Gnea | jatz: if it was complaining, because it was too big, then that's a limitation of nautilus - that's a bit beyond the scope of channel help here, you could try #nautilus or #gnome | 20:39 |

| SmokeEater85911 | hey how do i check the current installed version of Alsamixer? | 20:40 |

| jatz | Gnea: thanks | 20:40 |
| Gnea | godzirra: oh ok, well can you add the printer from the print dialog and send a test from the desktop that way? | 20:40 |

| StevenX | Hello all. My ntfs drives are not loading up in Ubuntu automatically. I have to go to Menu --> Places --> Drive 1 / Drive 2 in order to get other programs to recognize them. How can I have them load on system start? | 20:41 |
| godzirra | Gnea: under system->admin->printer, thte title that pops up is "Printer configuration - 192.168.1.69" but when I click "New Printer" it says "CUPS server rror There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-oprtation-not-supported'" | 20:41 |
| godzirra | Gnea: And her printer utility looks vastly different than mine. | 20:42 |
| Mecha25 | StevenX: what you want is called fstab | 20:42 |
| Mecha25 | !fstab | 20:42 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:42 |
| StevenX | Mecha25: thank you. I will look into it. | 20:43 |
| MiraiWarren0_0 | Hey, Is xmms not in the repositories? All I see is xmms2. | 20:43 |
| Sinnerman | i think ive found a bug in ntfs-3g or gnome mount. when i mount a filesystem normally, i get all my files, some of which have unicode characters. i then mounted the same filesystem readonly, and a bunch of those files with unicode characters disappear. when i mount the partition readwrite again, the files reappear. why is that? the problem only happens if i mount a partition from within gnome (ie, removable devices). does not happen manually. | 20:43 |

| liquidbeef | i have tar in my cigarette file | 20:47 |
| godzirra | ValentineX: If you are trying to extract a .tar.gz, then you just need to do this: "tar -zxvf whatever.tar.gz" | 20:48 |
| test34 | Can anyone add packages to the Universe/Multiverse repositories? | 20:48 |

| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: well.. no, you can do that with a windows cd | 20:55 |
| linuxfce | erichmbile no, there is no fixmbr or fixboot | 20:55 |
| SmokeEater85911 | how do I go about updating the kernel then? | 20:55 |
| Mecha25 | linuxfce: no, you can install synaptic | 20:55 |

| Loverboy^ | try them both, see which one you like more. | 21:01 |
| Mecha25 | SmokeEater: if you're getting sound at all, your card is working | 21:01 |

| Loverboy^ | I suggest Ubuntu | 21:01 |
| SmokeEater85911 | Mecha25: I get sound, but not through the sub | 21:01 |
| sk33t0r | chao1, that didn't help I still cant make :-/ | 21:01 |

| godzirra | what is ubuntustudio? | 21:01 |
| godzirra | Gnea: any ideas? | 21:01 |

| Loverboy^ | godzirra: aptitude show ubuntustudio | 21:02 |
| SmokeEater85911 | k | 21:02 |

| Mecha25 | SmokeEater, try messing with them, make sure you have sound playing, you CAN blow your speakers if you turn them too loud! | 21:02 |
| godzirra | Loverboy^: unable to locate package ubuntustudio | 21:02 |
| sk33t0r | but when I try to rm them, it says they dont exist | 21:02 |

| sk33t0r | Av1, multiple sites | 21:02 |
| SmokeEater85911 | thats what Im trying to say | 21:02 |

| Mecha25 | SmokeEater: I know, I think the sub has the volume too low | 21:02 |
| sk33t0r | check out ubuntuforums.com | 21:02 |

| Av1 | sk3t0r can you please tell me | 21:03 |

| Mecha25 | SmokeEater, then check ALL the checkboxes | 21:03 |
| Loverboy^ | marco_: check your drivers and Xorg.conf | 21:03 |
| SmokeEater85911 | Mecha25: it only lists Master, Headphoens, MCM, Front, Front Mic boost, and Mic boost | 21:03 |

| mr-onionhead | Hi, I've gotta somewhat silly question. I'm compiling some software from source, and am not sure where the best place to put it is.

| andax | okeefferd, it is normal that the cards are recognized separately. You have two options here, A) create the raid array in the bios of the card B) download the raid management console from highpoint-tech.com and configure the card from the running system. | 21:31 |
| unop | mr-onionhead, is this something that you will be distributing? | 21:31 |

| godzirra | I'm trying to add my wireless printer on a laptop and I used the cups page (localhost:631) to add it on two laptops. On one running intrepid it works. On the other running hardy it does not. On the one running Hardy, I can print a test page from the CUPS setup pages, but I don't show a printer in Firefox when I try and print, and when I go to system->administration->printing, its running "python /usr/share/system-config-printer/ | 21:31 |
| johnfn | Is there an easy way to transfer my ubuntu setup from one partition to another? | 21:31 |
| Slart | !clone | johnfn | 21:31 |
| ubottu | johnfn: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 21:31 |
| laeg | thoreauputic_: i have it installed and i restarted firefox - the stream i'm trying to open is the one entitled 'spanair plane crash' in the top middle of the page - http://www.rte.ie/news/6news/ | 21:31 |
| mr-onionhead | unop: I'm not distributing it. I'd just like to do the "right thing." | 21:31 |
| Habernet | i have a dual boot set up on my laptop with windows xp and 8.04, the partition is about half and half but i have files on both partitions that are the same (music, videos, pics etc) is there any way to resize the partition to have more for ubuntu and less for windows? | 21:32 |
| unop | mr-onionhead, 3rd party applications go under /opt .. but that's preferrential | 21:32 |
| Slart | johnfn: but if you just want to move everything I guess just copying it all might do the trick | 21:32 |
| MentalBoy | hi all. please answer how I can cumsomize download queue in Rtorrent? | 21:32 |
| tuxice | mr-onionhead: normally source can be compiled and run from the ~ directory | 21:32 |
| mr-onionhead | tuxice: It's not a python program. It's a new build of Coq (coq.infria.fr). | 21:32 |
| andax | okeefferd: default ( unconfigured) : no hdd's will be detected by linux. / jbod: all disks are detected separately ( use mdadm for softraid ) / raid config: raid arrays appear as one large disk to the kernel. | 21:32 |
| okeefferd | andax: sorry, i mean the problem lies with the drives being recognized by the hpt card. its very sparatic which ones show up in the bios and which ones dont. then when i get into the os, the same thing happens | 21:32 |
| johnfn | Slart: I thought about that, but I was worried - is there anything like the registry in Windows that will screw me over? | 21:32 |
| === schlort_ is now known as schlort | ||
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, it has to be mbr | 21:33 |
| robelliott2125 | linxeh You still about? | 21:33 |
| mr-onionhead | unop: It sounds like /opt it is. Thank you:) | 21:33 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: but the winxp cd should still boot, if it was just that | 21:33 |
| Slart | johnfn: not that I know of.. don't copy /proc though.. since it's .. well.. created at boot.. | 21:33 |
| Slart | johnfn: not sure about /sys either | 21:33 |
| pretorian | hi Leutz | 21:33 |
| ay^ | I have had fuxx0red mbrs a lot of times, and fixed them using xp/vista cds | 21:33 |
| mr-onionhead | tuxrice: Thanks! I'd prefer to keep it out of my home directory. So I think I'll follow unop and with /opt | 21:34 |
| johnfn | Slart: Okay, I'll give it a try. | 21:34 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, i was trying to use symantec imaging tool and when i booted into dos it said there were some errors that it could fix, i let it and this started | 21:34 |
| andax | okeefferd, sorry i misunderstood you most likely. This sounds like you need a bigger power supply. ( I use 750W for a 1+8 disk setup ) | 21:34 |
| Trader_T | Mecha25: hi again - can't find the program in add/remove programms - is there a way I could execute the download in terminal? | 21:34 |
| thoreauputic_ | laeg: using some braindead imbedded thing - doesn't play here either | 21:34 |
| egosintrick | mr. onionhead usr/local is usually the preferred place for programs you install yourself, as it is usually placed on a separate partition from /home and /usr, but it really just comes down to personal preference | 21:34 |
| Mecha25 | Trader_T: I know it's in synaptic, not sure where that is in KDE | 21:34 |
| ValentineX | Hi ubuntu will detect and install my modem like windows did? | 21:34 |
| egosintrick | i think there may be issues if the program can't find the libs, ie if it was looking in /usr or whatever | 21:35 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ValentineX: depends on the modem | 21:35 |
| egosintrick | meh | 21:35 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: thats wierd.. | 21:35 |
| ValentineX | how to check if the modem dialup has been installed working or not | 21:35 |
| okeefferd | andax: forgot to mention that the drives are all connected via esata so they are external. The box is a 1u IBM server with dual xeon 2.6ghz | 21:35 |
| laeg | thoreauputic_: asking questions makes me braindead in a support channel? | 21:35 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: what exactly is it the xpcd trying to do when it hangs? | 21:35 |
| Trader_T | Mecha25: ok, but considering I've downloaded and extracted the file on desktop - could I use terminal to start the installation? I just need to know which commands to use | 21:36 |
| pretorian | whats up guys | 21:36 |
| pulse00 | hi all. i'm getting this error when starting pulseaudio: Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:98, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting. found a bug report saying it has to do with libltdl 1.5.22 and one needs to update, but i have libldtl 1.5.26 installed. anyone ? | 21:36 |
| matt1728 | is there FICS channel for IRC? | 21:36 |
| thoreauputic_ | laeg: no no - I meant the site' player thing :) | 21:36 |
| laeg | thoreauputic_: oh right the site, yeah i'd rather it worked out of the box :) | 21:36 |
| ValentineX | DIFH-iceroot: my modem was auto install able at windows agere win modem will it be installed auto at ubuntu too? | 21:36 |
| thoreauputic_ | laeg: no you | 21:36 |
| okeefferd | andax: i was concerned that it was a function of the drives that was holding them back, but when I hooked them all to a completely different machine with an onboard sata card, they worked perfectly | 21:36 |
| pretorian | anyone here can tell my a good shell programming tut | 21:36 |
| laeg | thoreauputic_: somebody said to install realplayer plugin | 21:36 |
| thoreauputic_ | laeg: umm I meant "not you" | 21:36 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ValentineX: i know your modem??? | 21:36 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, first time i rebooted the win xp loading screen would just sit there. then i thought to fixmbr and it would get to inspecting hardware, go black and then sit there. | 21:37 |
| laeg | thoreauputic_: ya sorry, my bad, i realised it after i said it and before you did :) | 21:37 |
| ValentineX | DIFH-iceroot: how to check its installed or not? | 21:37 |
| hubar | what package is the kernel source in 8,04? | 21:37 |
| Mecha25 | trader_T: ok, we can try that | 21:37 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, this last time it loaded and got to starting windows setup, but when it goes to start windows to install it hangs | 21:37 |
| Mecha25 | Trader_T: it's not the best way but it should work | 21:37 |
| Mecha25 | oh! better idea | 21:37 |
| Mecha25 | Trader_T: one second | 21:38 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: but you dont want it to start installing windows, before that, there is a menu that allows you to use recovery console | 21:38 |
| hubar | what package is the kernel source in 8.04? | 21:38 |
| MentalBoy | does anybody use rtorrent? | 21:38 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, where is it? | 21:38 |
| egosintrick | Valntine i had to configure my dsl modem under windows, but when i installed ubuntu i didn't have to do anything- it automatically detected and configured it | 21:38 |
| ay^ | MentalBoy: yes I do | 21:38 |
| emorris | hi, what is the equivalent of GDM for KDE? Thanks. | 21:39 |
| andax | hubar, linux-source? | 21:39 |
| MentalBoy | can you say how to set file priority? | 21:39 |
| hubar | emorris: KDM? | 21:39 |
| Mecha25 | Trader_T: run this in terminal: sudo apt-get install opera | 21:39 |
| ValentineX | egosintrick: hmm ok let me check too. | 21:39 |
| emorris | hubar: k, thanks | 21:39 |
| MentalBoy | ay^: | 21:39 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, actually, it says starting windows then goes into the menu you're talking about | 21:39 |
| hubar | andax: thanks, let me try :) | 21:39 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/wxprcons.html | 21:39 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, or its supposed to | 21:39 |
| carandraug | MentalBoy, I use rtorrent | 21:39 |
| onthefence928 | i have a Two part question: 1)how do i get my Places menu to show the "File system" option again? 2)how do i get nautilus to give me an option to manipulate a file as root? like the sudo command, but without having to know the terminal commands for everything i want to do | 21:40 |
| zorrolero | MentalBoy: + | 21:40 |
| carandraug | onthefence928, you have to set up nautilus scripts to do that | 21:40 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, yeah i dont even get to that menu. in the lower left as its loading default drivers and whatnot, it says starting Windows and does nothing | 21:40 |
| ay^ | MentalBoy: http://linux.die.net/man/1/rtorrent | 21:40 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: you can do alt-F2 and run ' gksudo nautilus' | 21:41 |
| carandraug | onthefence928, I meant it as answer for the the second question | 21:41 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: thats so wierd.. | 21:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | but be careful... | 21:41 |
| hubar | andax: there are two with linux-source in the name though. | 21:41 |
| hubar | One is 19 another one is 26 | 21:41 |
| robelliott2125 | linxeh, I just want to say thank you for your help earlier with my drives. | 21:41 |
| hubar | err | 21:41 |
| andax | okeefferd, sorry i only have experience with internal drives, no idea about hpt+external drives combination sorry :( but you should know that i have contacted highpoint several times about issues on freebsd and they are very helpful. If no other option drop them a mail i suggest. | 21:41 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: sounds like installing windows on that other disk might be your best shot | 21:41 |
| onthefence928 | carandraug: What script? and how do i run it? | 21:41 |
| hubar | I meant one is 21 another one is 36 | 21:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | carandraug: see my answer re: nautilus as root | 21:41 |
| ay^ | unless you want to try to force mounting it in ubuntu | 21:41 |
| rlc | that's a secret | 21:41 |
| hubar | which one should I take? | 21:41 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, yeah but same thing happened | 21:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: did you see my answer? | 21:42 |
| ERICHMOBILE | couldnt get to that menu | 21:42 |
| onthefence928 | carandraug: i like that other GKsudo command | 21:42 |
| okeefferd | adnax: will do thanks | 21:42 |
| tamer_ | i am Gyashi | 21:42 |
| carandraug | onthefence928, thoreauputic_ option is also a good one | 21:42 |
| okeefferd | andax: otherwise I am looking into buying another card | 21:42 |
| afallenhope | tamer_, okay? | 21:42 |
| giacomo_carissim | what's the name of the run program? the one that brings up the run window in gnome? | 21:42 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, think i have an old ide drive sitting here. ill pop that in and install to copy files. | 21:42 |
| tamer_ | download link | 21:42 |
| afallenhope | giacomo_carissim, hit ALT + F2 | 21:42 |
| tamer_ | of gyashi newest one | 21:43 |
| Trader_T | Mecha25: Thank you very much for your help - worked a treat :) | 21:43 |
| carandraug | MentalBoy, file priority inside a torrent or between torrents? It's different in each case | 21:43 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: you can make a launcher with that command if you wish - butbe very careful - running the file manager as root is a great way to wreck your system :) | 21:43 |
| giacomo_carissim | afallenhope, i want the name of it so i can use it under fluxbox too | 21:43 |
| MentalBoy | inside torrent | 21:43 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: yes i like it, i think i'll use it | 21:43 |
| ay^ | MentalBoy: read the link I gave you | 21:43 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: just heed the warning :) | 21:43 |
| afallenhope | giacomo_carissim, not sure. Fluxbox.. is decent I guess | 21:43 |
| andax | okeefferd: another one that worked for me was an 'areca' model. very expensive tough | 21:43 |
| carandraug | MentalBoy, when you are in the list of files, select the file of the torrent you want to change priority and press space | 21:43 |
| pen | with flash installed with ndiswrapper, is it more stable than the linux flash? | 21:44 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: there are other ways to do the fixmbr, but I hav eno idea if it'll work | 21:44 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, first i will install linux to see if grub works, automagically, as you said | 21:44 |
| ay^ | pen, what? flash with ndiswrapper? | 21:44 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: yes try that | 21:44 |
| pen | ay^, yea | 21:45 |
| carandraug | MentalBoy, say something if you managed to do it as I have to go | 21:45 |
| MentalBoy | thanks to all | 21:45 |
| hubar | andax: you there? | 21:45 |
| lint | can someone tell me how to change my user name in ubuntu? | 21:45 |
| okeefferd | andax: i see alot of success with 3ware but its pretty spendy as well | 21:45 |
| carandraug | MentalBoy, glad you managed it. rtorrent is a nice client | 21:45 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: i plan to be careful, it's just annoying how some things block me out when all i want to do is make a copy of the file | 21:45 |
| MentalBoy | ) | 21:46 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: don't use nautilus as root on any files in your home directory - they will suddenly belong to root and be inaccessible to your user | 21:46 |
| ay^ | MentalBoy: np :) | 21:46 |
| andax | hubar, : just open a terminal, and type: sudo apt-get install linux-source ( enter your password when asked ). You will have the sources for your current kernel installed in /usr/src | 21:46 |
| ay^ | pen: ndiswrapper is for wlan devices? | 21:46 |

| Teisei | Lol | 21:46 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: in case i do, how do i make them usable by me again? | 21:46 |
| lint | i know someonthing about your mother | 21:46 |
| pen | ay^, flash too I remember | 21:46 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: change the ownership back to your user | 21:47 |
| tuxice | !anything | 21:47 |
| ubottu | So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. | 21:47 |
| godzirra | heh | 21:47 |
| MentalBoy | but how to set for may files thise priority for exmple i need only one file in torrent? | 21:47 |
| Habernet | im trying to install america's army and at some point in the installation it says that i do not have write permissions, how do i change this?? | 21:47 |
| Arnos | !nothing | 21:47 |
| ubottu | Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. | 21:47 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: for instance make them owned by user:user (group as well) | 21:47 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: is it gonna change the WHOLE home directory? or just whetever files i mess with? | 21:47 |
| ay^ | pen: and by flash you mean what? | 21:48 |
| tuxice | !these drugs | 21:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about these drugs | 21:48 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: the ones you mess with | 21:48 |
| newbiew | hello.. if i have 4gb of ram.. how much would you use of swap? | 21:48 |
| Arnos | depneds | 21:48 |
| ppires_ | hi there. is anyone around who knows why Virtualbox in Hardy 64bit is still v1.5.6? 1.6.4 is out already | 21:48 |
| Arnos | *depends | 21:48 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: but *don't* use it in your home directory | 21:48 |
| ppires_ | anyway, v1.5.6 isn't functional as there are no modules available for the latest kernel version. | 21:48 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: or /tmp for example | 21:48 |
| pen | ay^, flash? don't you know flash?? where have you been all these years? in jungle? | 21:48 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: i should need to but i'll keep it in mind, thanks for teh warning | 21:49 |
| ay^ | pen: well.. there are different kinds of flash:es | 21:49 |
| ERICHMOBILE | ay^, all partitions are accounted for in gparted so that looks good | 21:49 |

| pen | ay^, you should know it's been maintained by adobe | 21:49 |
| andax | okeefferd: 3ware -> try before you buy. ( performance ... ) | 21:49 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: in general it's better not to use a graphical file manager as root. Learning some commands is better really | 21:49 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: just wondeirng: does gksudo allow me to run ANY GUI as root? | 21:49 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: yes it should | 21:50 |
| ay^ | pen: the only flash maintained by adobe I know of, isn't installed using ndiswrapper | 21:50 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: but don't :) | 21:50 |
| grendal_prime | alright...this is the sort of thing that makes me nuts. I got a 1420 from dell. It has an install iso that is on the box. Now. I would love to write this to a dvd to back it up but the iso is 5 gigs. the dvd writer is a single layer drive that is limited i believe two only 4.4 gig single layer dvds. Is there a way to span dvd's with a single iso? | 21:50 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: oh that's powerful | 21:50 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: indeed, at least its there, some where :) | 21:50 |
| thoreauputic_ | onthefence928: running apps as root is a *bad* idea | 21:50 |
| onthefence928 | thoreauputic_: yeah i'm just using it for future reference | 21:50 |
| pen | ay^, I have seen ppl on forums installed flash with ndiswrapper | 21:50 |
| pen | ay^, or something similar | 21:50 |
| ay^ | pen: show me one | 21:50 |
| sarthor | HI. can i download gyachi.deb pakage from this website, is it safe?? http://www.mediafire.com/?nlrmdlub4tv | 21:51 |
| ay^ | pen: you know there is a flash plugin, and a flash player, and a flash development enviroment? which is it? | 21:51 |
| onthefence928 | mediafire tends to be virus-free | 21:51 |
| ValentineX | hello hoi hi I got this file gnome-phone-manager-0.6.0.tar what to do with this to work for me? | 21:51 |
| newbiew | HI, If i have 4gb of ram.. how much would yo get of swap? | 21:51 |
| pen | ay^, course it's the plugin with browser | 21:51 |
| ay^ | or did YOU live in a cave in the jungle in space for the last 10 years? | 21:52 |
| ay^ | pen: that is no where close to certain | 21:52 |
| sarthor | onthefence928, : what that means ... can i download. my english is weaker | 21:52 |

| sarthor | onthefence928, OK. | 21:53 |
| pen | ay^, I was seeking solution to prevent crashes | 21:53 |
| pen | ay^, always crash | 21:53 |
| ay^ | pen: WHAT crashes? | 21:53 |
| ay^ | pen: there are more than ONE flash plugin for browsers.. | 21:53 |
| pen | ay^, I really dislike adobe's attitude towards open source community | 21:53 |
| tsunami | just loaded up kubuntu and its getting help up at "Running local boot scripts [OK]" any ideas? | 21:53 |
| ay^ | pen: so you are trying to make your own using ndiswrapper? | 21:54 |
| pen | ay^, but you know for certain there is only ONE which can operates most flash on web | 21:54 |

| onthefence928 | How do i get the Places menu to show me a "fileSystem" option | 21:54 |
| pen | ay^, 10 is still in beta | 21:54 |
| ay^ | pen: so that means it doesnt work? | 21:55 |
| pen | ay^, and it crashes more without any support of non-ascii chars | 21:55 |

| ValentineX | I got this file gnome-phone-manager-0.6.0.tar what to do with this to work for me? extract? with which command? | 21:55 |
| ay^ | 22:55 <pen> ay^, yes | 21:55 |
| d[o_o]b | the drop down menu only shwos up on the main screen. so if u click on the dropdown list with the window in the secondary screen you will see the dropdown appear on the primary screen | 21:55 |
| ay^ | 22:55 <pen> ay^, yes | 21:55 |
| pen | ay^, I'm confused | 21:56 |
| hubar | andax: Should I decompress linux-source-2.6.24 myself? | 21:56 |
| thoreauputic_ | pen: I use them on ppc Ubuntu - they handle for example youtube OK | 21:56 |
| ay^ | I notice | 21:56 |
| newbiew | if i have 4gb ram.. how much swap for installation, please tell me | 21:56 |
| pen | thoreauputic_, but I can't wait that long. It forces me back to vista but I like ubuntu | 21:56 |
| pen | thoreauputic_, I visit more than just youtube | 21:56 |
| thoreauputic_ | vista ? Ugh | 21:56 |
| pen | thoreauputic_, well, it came with the laptop | 21:56 |
| ay^ | pen: what is ndiswrapper supposed to do with flashplugin? | 21:56 |
| thoreauputic_ | pen: yes.... sad ;-) | 21:57 |
| pen | ay^, I once saw on the net that it can be installed with it | 21:57 |
| ay^ | pen: I still feel the need to know | 21:57 |
| andax | hubar: linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2 is the compressed source of your current kernel... unpack or not i don't know, depends on what you want to do with it | 21:57 |
| ay^ | pen: but it can be installed from apt, and that sounds more easy and wise | 21:57 |
| pen | ay^, someone tried to install flash with ndiswrapper and it seems to work | 21:57 |
| linuxfce | How do I obtain files from cvs? | 21:57 |

Is there anything I can do to change it back? | 22:00 |
| thoreauputic_ | Mecha25: I personally don't know how offjhand, but "man bash" would probably tell you | 22:00 |

| hubar | andax: oh, there are some problems with my madwifi module, it disconnects me off the wireless network sometimes, I wanna find out why. :) | 22:07 |
| andax | Habernet: how did you start the installer? ( command line, right click, double click.. ? ) | 22:07 |
| artemis | /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format <= how can i repair it ? | 22:07 |

| captainm | frostbyt3: hwdetect --show-net | 22:09 |
| andax | hubar: if it's an atheros chipset then just replace the card :) | 22:09 |
| artemis | morbyte1, it says YES | 22:10 |
| robelliott2125 | Sorry about that unop and captainm, was just replying to something there... By Windowmanager, do you mean KDE etc? As I did install Kubuntu, which runs alongside Ubuntu or something | 22:10 |
| mpalatnik | unop: no, same error | 22:10 |
| robelliott2125 | unop, is the command just "groups" in terminal? | 22:10 |

| captainm | hubar: I use irssi, xchat is a nice graphical client | 22:11 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: HA! linux works wonders sometimes! | 22:11 |
| slammed87d21 | what program ca i use to make back up copies of movies? | 22:11 |
| robelliott2125 | hubar, I'm using Konversation, and loving it. But irssi and Xchat are supposed to be good too | 22:11 |
| morbyte1 | artemis: uhm i guess in system tools or in accessoires | 22:11 |
| robelliott2125 | slammed87d21, devede or k3b | 22:11 |

| artemis | ok :) | 22:11 |
| morbyte1 | artemis: but maybe you need to install it first | 22:12 |
| captainm | bbs: nope. Just bored | 22:12 |
| ay^ | ERICHMOBILE: hum okay, so, does it boot? | 22:12 |
| bbs | captainm: oh ok | 22:12 |
| bbs | peace | 22:12 |
| artemis | morbyte1, nothing like this there | 22:12 |

| artemis | morbyte1, it did start but where are the great effects ? | 22:14 |
| andax | Habernet: the problem is that that you're executing the installer as a normal user. To install the game, the setup script needs to be run as 'root'. So do the following: Click applications, accessories, terminal. Type 'sudo bash'. ( enter your password ) Then type 'cd <dirname>' where the installer is located, and start it using ./whatever.run | 22:14 |
| 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? | 22:15 |
| robelliott2125 | unop, does that help at all? | 22:15 |
| andax | Habernet: stuff on your desktop is located at /home/username/Desktop | 22:15 |
| captainm | Fevrin: use vim ;) | 22:15 |
| morbyte1 | artemis: well - ubuntu configuration is: less is more :) so you have to configurate all the uberleet stuff yourself :) | 22:15 |
| Fevrin | But captainm, what if I want to use Gedit? ;P | 22:15 |
| artemis | morbyte1, ok, but shall i do it in terminal or using this fusion-icon? | 22:16 |
| Habernet | andax thanks ill try it | 22:16 |
| sonink | does anyone here know how to get autologin to work with mingetty in InitNG? | 22:16 |

| Bigmack83_ | i dual boot with vista (partition 1) and ubuntu (partition 2). i need to shrink my ubuntu volume so i can increase the vista one. what tool is best suited to do this as windows is lame and cant? | 22:17 |
| unop | mjorin_, your umask is probably affecting the permissions | 22:17 |
| artemis | how can i save file whenever i'm editing system file (using vim) | 22:17 |
| artemis | it says readonly | 22:17 |
| frostbyt3 | Big: U can do it in vista | 22:17 |
| sk33t0r | now Im a little further along I run into another issue.. insmod: error inserting 'ipw2200.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module | 22:17 |
| sk33t0r | anyone ever seen that before? | 22:17 |
| unop | artemis, make sure you use sudo where you don't have permissions | 22:17 |
| robelliott2125 | As I said to captainm, I did install kubuntu alongside ubuntu using Synaptec, but its annoying me to have to logout first, then to restart / reboot | 22:17 |
| Telroth | Bigmack83_, windows can. I don't know if XP's volume manager will, but partition magic 8 will let you shrink your system partition | 22:17 |
| artemis | in vim too ? | 22:17 |
| morbyte1 | artemis: as you like :) i just told you how i got compiz working with least work | 22:17 |
| othellix | how do i resize my partition?????????????????????????? | 22:18 |
| sk33t0r | this is my dmesg output | 22:18 |
| frostbyt3 | like this format c: | 22:18 |
| sk33t0r | http://pastebin.com/m10be67a8 | 22:18 |
| morbyte1 | othellix: how do you google? | 22:18 |
| unop | artemis, in vim too off-course .. vim doesn't automatically give you the permissions you need | 22:18 |
| Bigmack83_ | frostbyt3, Windows sees ubuntu as an unknown healthy partition and cant shrink it. | 22:18 |
| captainm | robelliott2125: what happens when you do 'killall kwin' (asuming you're in gnome). | 22:18 |
| artemis | thx everyone :* | 22:18 |
| Bigmack83_ | Telroth, i dont have PM8 | 22:18 |
| speener | is there any documentation on mysql in the ubuntu web site? | 22:19 |
| othellix | google ???????????? | 22:19 |
| othellix | thx | 22:19 |
| robelliott2125 | Hang on then captainm, will try now | 22:19 |
| othellix | u are the best | 22:19 |
| Fevrin | Bigmack83, try using gparted. | 22:19 |
| othellix | :( | 22:19 |
| xaj | i just installed ubuntu 8.04 to my computer but i am missing a lot of building environment stuff (like g++ and some header files). i was wondering, since i am on dialup is it possible that the cd has these programs, it just didn't install them to my computer. if so, how do i install all of the application from my ubuntu cd to my computer? | 22:19 |
| andax | othellix: the resizer 'program' is called 'parted' or 'gparted'. google for it | 22:19 |
| robelliott2125 | othellix, i use gparted whcih works well, if you want to try that | 22:19 |
| robelliott2125 | captainm: kwin: no process killed | 22:19 |
| tona | i am running live ubuntu how could i mount my hard disk internal ? | 22:19 |
| speener | or can someone help me get mysql running? | 22:20 |
| robelliott2125 | tona, Places > Computer and click on the drive, it'll automount for you | 22:20 |
| morbyte1 | artemis: just take synaptic and do a search for compiz, then youll get additional compiz stuff like more plugins, a settings-manager etc... so you get fluffly-pointy-clicky stuff | 22:20 |
| j800r | hey, does anyone in here use skype on ubuntu? | 22:20 |
| Bigmack83_ | Fevrin, that is part of ubuntu isnt it? sorry im still new to ubuntulol. or do i need to DL it | 22:20 |
| mjorin_ | unop: my umask is set to 0022, sorry i don't know much about how umask works | 22:20 |
| Fevrin | So nobody knows about using Bracket Completion in Gedit? I've already used Google, but I can't find anything. | 22:20 |
| Telroth | I need some help with SATA drives. I just built a new system (MSI P43 Neo3 mobo, core2quad, 4gb ram, 3x1Tb sata drives, dvdrw) and all of the drives are detected in the bios, but ubuntu doesn't show the device nodes for the sata drives. | 22:20 |
| morbyte1 | othellix: i believe gparted may work well in resizing partitions but not sure atm | 22:20 |
| robelliott2125 | Sorry Fevrin, i tend to close all brackets myself bud | 22:21 |
| Fevrin | Bigmack83_: no, it's on the LiveCD by default. Just go to Synaptic and search for "gparted". | 22:21 |
| tona | roberlliot2125 | 22:21 |
| sk33t0r | sudo insmod ipw2200.ko rtap_iface=1 | 22:21 |
| sk33t0r | insmod: error inserting 'ipw2200.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module | 22:21 |
| sk33t0r | anyone ever had such an issue before? | 22:21 |
| Fevrin | Bigmack83_: when you install Ubuntu to your hard drive, gparted won't be there until you install it from Synaptic. | 22:21 |
| robelliott2125 | Fevrin, Livecd should have Gparted in the System > Admin section @ Bigmack83_ | 22:21 |
| robelliott2125 | Yes tona? | 22:21 |
| j800r | who uses skype in here? | 22:21 |
| robelliott2125 | Not me, sorry j800r | 22:21 |
| GT | Oh, I use it sometimes. | 22:22 |
| captainm | !anyone | j800r | 22:22 |
| ubottu | j800r: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:22 |
| j800r | i need help with fixing audio problems with it | 22:22 |
| Bigmack83_ | Fevrin, ok cool. thanks. once i find it just start it as normal? and is there any good partition managers for ubuntu or is gparted the thing to get | 22:22 |
| speener | anyone? | 22:22 |
| andax | sk33t0r, that module was most likely not compiled for your current kernel | 22:22 |
| tona | robell but i dont know which is my hard disk | 22:22 |
| Bigmack83_ | Fevrin, ok cool thanks. i will check it out | 22:22 |
| robelliott2125 | I've used gparted a few times Bigmack83_, infact just had to reformat some drives tonight, and its good. | 22:22 |
| Fevrin | Bigmack83_: gparted is one of the few GUI-based partition editors/managers, the others are all on the command line. | 22:23 |
| mjorin_ | unop: I just set my umask to 0 and it's still causing problems | 22:23 |
| robelliott2125 | Well tona, you'll have Filesystem which should be your live disk, then you'll have other drives in Computer, just click on them till you find the drive you need. | 22:23 |
| * Bigmack83_ is GUI homegrown via windows.lol | 22:23 | |
| morbyte1 | Bigmack83_: geparted is really a good program - reminds a bit of partition magic and borrowed some of its ideas (the good ones :) | 22:23 |
| j800r | why do i keep getting "problem with audio playback" on skype :| | 22:23 |
| unop | mjorin_, set umask to 000 if you want directories to be created as 777 | 22:24 |
| tona | could someone help me , i am trying to mount my internal hard disk , i am using live ubuntu run on my cdrom | 22:24 |
| GT | I'm having some trouble with compile a program for getting Pulse to work perfectly. | 22:24 |
| newbiew_ | HI, can someone help me please. Im doing a tutorial to make my sound card works under linux. I dont understand this instruction.. how do add a Iine to.... /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 22:24 |
| mjorin_ | unop: it is 000 now | 22:24 |
| artemis | Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered <= is it something wrong ? | 22:24 |
| bE0wU1f | j800r: do you have audio working in any other apps | 22:24 |
| Bigmack83_ | Fevrin, ok cool. so im assuming gparted can do everything that partition magic can do then? or at least the same features for shrinking/expanding volumes? | 22:24 |
| mjorin_ | unop: but it still creates them as 755 | 22:24 |
| newbiew_ | i mean im fallowing a tutorial instructions not doing it | 22:24 |
| robelliott2125 | tona, do you remember what the size of the hard drive is, which your trying to mount? | 22:24 |
| tona | yes | 22:25 |
| j800r | bE0wU1f, i have it working with all other apps | 22:25 |
| unop | mjorin_, how are you creating files or directories exactly? | 22:25 |
| j800r | just not skype :| | 22:25 |
| morbyte1 | newbiew_: by doing in the console a: "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" | 22:25 |
| j800r | i've tried a pulseaudio fix on the forums, and it made no difference | 22:25 |
| mjorin_ | unop: just using mkdir dir or mkdir -p path/to/dir | 22:25 |
| robelliott2125 | Then look in Computer tona, and you'll see the sizes, just click on the one you need, it'll automount | 22:25 |
| newbiew_ | but if i have mousepad? just mousepad instead of gedit? | 22:25 |
| Fevrin | Bigmack83_: it has pretty extensive features, but for some filesystems you'll have to install extra packages from Synaptic. | 22:25 |
| bE0wU1f | j800r: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype#Audio%20Problems | 22:25 |
| tona | roberlliott2125 are you there | 22:25 |
| morbyte1 | newbiew_: i dont know mousepad - but just try it | 22:26 |
| robelliott2125 | Yes tona, i'm still here. | 22:26 |
| tona | roberlliott2125 how can i mount it | 22:26 |
| Bigmack83_ | Fevrin, awesome. yea i will be able to figure it out from here then, thanks | 22:26 |
| Fevrin | Bigmack83_: no problem :) | 22:26 |
| newbiew_ | it works morbytel | 22:26 |
| newbiew_ | thanks | 22:26 |
| mjorin_ | unop: I think it might be because it's on a VM hgfs and not the normal fs | 22:26 |
| GT | This libao-pulse thing that the PulseAudio Perfect Setup page links to. I've downloaded it, unpacked it, done ./configure, but now I've tried make and it says there are no targets specified and no makefile found. I just don't really know how to compile things, I guess. Anybody have any tips/ | 22:26 |
| robelliott2125 | tona, as I have said several times, find the size of the drive you need (which you've said you can remember), double Click it, and the drive will automatically mount, allowing you to use the files on there. | 22:27 |
| unop | mjorin_, that could quite possibly be it | 22:27 |
| morbyte1 | !sudo | newbiew_ | 22:27 |
| ubottu | newbiew_: 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) | 22:27 |

| alistair | Help: anyone here using Amarok? | 22:56 |
| hal_v2 | alistair: I am. | 22:57 |
| andax | danopia: preventing x from using the driver: pass the 'init=/bin/sh' parameter to the kernel upon boot using the above method. So upon booting you instantly get a root shell. Edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and replace the driver to 'vesa' and save the file. Type reboot and boot as you normally would. | 22:57 |
| carandraug | Stevethepirate: sorry. I caught the problem in the middle and only read that you wanted to use apt-get and had no internet access. I think you can download the list of available packages in another computer and then load in your ubuntu to search | 22:57 |
| discombobulated | anyone using realtek hd audio? | 22:58 |
| alistair | hal_v2, Hi tks - I am used to using another playlist creator which lets me manage filename tags ID3 etc. I want to be able to get say all 'Eagles' mixed in a directory and put them into another directory | 22:58 |
| andax | discombobulated, ask the question please... | 22:58 |
| discombobulated | would i be better off with realtek onboard or audigy 2 in linux? | 22:58 |
| Slart | discombobulated: creative is a nasty company.. and hopefully the first against the wall when the revolution comes.. ;) | 22:59 |
| alistair | hal_v2, basically question is can I use Amarok to do file management? | 22:59 |
| andax | discombobulated: realtek onboard. | 22:59 |
| Slart | discombobulated: but my audigy 2 works nicely in ubuntu.. on board soundcards can be good or bad.. some get more interference | 22:59 |
| outlier | Can anyone assist me getting a USB mic working? | 23:00 |
| shayla | where do i ask questions on kubuntu | 23:00 |
| NodeRazor | alistair, the Exaile is better =D | 23:00 |
| hal_v2 | alistair: To manage files I'd recommend rythmbox above amarok, but I prefer amarok for most things, just because it's more organized looking. It's a matter of preferences, you shouldn't have a problem. I'm not really good with the technical stuff, in that if I haven't had the problem, I don't know the solution. Sorry. :3 | 23:00 |
| carandraug | shayla: try #kubuntu | 23:00 |
| zanberdo | I've just installed hardy to my ibm T42 lappy which uses the ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 02) card. I've discovered evidently the previously availble driver has been blacklisted. How can I override this? | 23:00 |
| Slart | shayla: here or in #kubuntu | 23:00 |
| discombobulated | so now maybe i can give away my card. it's giving me problems in vista because of driver issues. if it works good in linux, i'll just do away with audigy | 23:00 |

| nyersa | Hi all hoping someone can help me out with a problem I am having on an ubuntu box running zope/plone... I just upgraded dists last night to hardy... I was previously running zope 2.7. Well now when I try to do an apt-get upgrade it bombs with an unmet dependancy error on zope-cmfactionicons, saying that zope2.7 is not installable, and suggests that I run a apt-get -f install | 23:04 |
| nyersa | when I try that, apt trys to install zope 2.10, but then dies on zope-cmfactionicons, .dzproduct file not found... | 23:04 |
| discombobulated | andax, sometimes the drivers from the manu. give extra options and might have needed updates | 23:05 |
| nyersa | anyone have any ideas? | 23:05 |
| andax | discombobulated: it's not the case with 'Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller' | 23:05 |
| discombobulated | why would realtek waste time writing a linux driver if none is needed and already sounds good? | 23:06 |
| Slart | hwilde: barely mentions it? are we talking about the same thread? the one named "What is console kit daemon" ? and there are some explanations in the later posts as to what it does and why it's there? | 23:06 |
| DrX | How do you fix the error "Share is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource." when browsing from XP Pro to Linux server? | 23:06 |
| andax | discombobulated: because doing copy/paste and publishing someone else's job make them look like they actually care :) | 23:06 |
| discombobulated | andax, so intel just lets the distro include their official driver or devs just work on an open driver? | 23:06 |
| === d[o_o]b is now known as obf213 | ||

| C0D3X_Z3R0 | Dont know if anyone can help me with this but i have a problem with watching online movies like on "youtube" i installed the latest "abobe flash" and stil it seems like the movies are lagging in a way? :S | 23:11 |
| DrX | anyone here familiar with SAMBA? | 23:11 |
| andax | discombobulated: intel will have the exact same quality on linux as it is on windows. Audigy has some windows-only software that's not available on linux. When using linux stay with the intel onboard thing without installing anything. | 23:11 |
| onthefence928 | Firefox3's version of flash is all screwed up | 23:11 |

| onthefence928 | Daisuke_laptop last i checked teh version of flash that adobe released for firefox is roken compared to teh other versions, it causes uneeded lag on video playback | 23:13 |
| zorrolero | nyersa: maybe try "dpkg-reconfigure zope" | 23:13 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | onthefence928: again, could have fooled me, it works just fine | 23:13 |
| discombobulated | Habernet, you tried to start it via console to see any error messages? | 23:13 |
| C0D3X_Z3R0 | thx for the info guys | 23:13 |
| discombobulated | C0D3X_Z3R0, have you tried the beta flash version? | 23:14 |
| onthefence928 | Daisuke_Laptop: like is said" last i checked" os maybe they fixed it | 23:14 |
| zorrolero | nyersa: or "aptitude -f install zope" | 23:14 |
| Habernet | discombobulated no, im fairly new to linux, how do i open it via terminal? | 23:14 |
| nyersa | zorrolero: hmm, when I do that it says that zope is not installed... I think something broken when it was moving from zope2.7 to zope2.10 | 23:14 |

Chose games, and the menu item you start the game with. Right click again, and see the 'properties' option. Write down what you see at the 'Command' field. Open a terminal and type the same.

| hano | I'd like to use two separate monitors in ubuntu 8.04. I tried to configure it using "System -> ... -> Screen Resolution" | 23:41 |
| Totakeke | Can anyone help? I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from my flash drive. | 23:41 |
| CochiseIRL | uname -a | 23:41 |
| hano | there I see two screens that can be moved around each other so as to position them as I like | 23:41 |
| Ragnar | how do I make programs installed in wine open up in window-mode, ie not fullscreen | 23:41 |
| carandraug | cppmonkey: droopsta915, OpenOffice doesn't open the new format of Microsoft Office as far as I'm aware. You can ask your teacher to save it in the old format (Office 2007 has that option) or you can convert it online in zamzar website | 23:41 |
| cppmonkey | is there a diffrent channel for 64bit? | 23:41 |
| hano | but having done so and applying it, the screens are moved back to their old position, in which they heavily overlap | 23:41 |
| rr73 | Gnea~ my usb devices work now and don't go capoots but gnome still locks up | 23:41 |
| CochiseIRL | grigora, lsb_release -a | 23:41 |
| pingveno | I'm trying to get BeautifulSoup 3.x.x installed on Dapper, which has 2.x.x. Is there a way to upgrade it without upgrading the whole system? | 23:42 |
| hano | I can't separate them - they are always taken back to their old positions | 23:42 |
| rr73 | my top and bottom gnome panels freeze up | 23:42 |
| hano | can somebody help me? | 23:42 |
| carandraug | cppmonkey: no. You can take a look at all channels here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 23:42 |
| grigora | CochiseIRL: lsb_release -a - no such command | 23:42 |
| Totakeke | I need help booting from Ubuntu from my flash drive? | 23:43 |
| uoaphys | will someone look at this pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu.com/39232/ I am getting this error when I try to print from a remote system via http cups server. Please help. | 23:43 |
| cppmonkey | carandraug, I didnt know there where soo many channels dedicated to ubuntu :o | 23:44 |
| lisa_ | If I'm using Virtualbox and running Ubuntu as a guest to Vista which is the host, can any virus, spyware, keylogger, trojan etc infect Ubuntu from Vista or vice versa? Can a Microsoft Vista windows virus, spyware, keylogger, trojan etc infect Ubuntu and become active on Ubuntu? And vice versa? | 23:44 |
| aguitel | how speed up updates in mirrors ? | 23:44 |
| carandraug | cppmonkey: just so you get an idea how big the community is ;) | 23:44 |
| rr73 | what would cause gnome to lock up and firefox not start/launch but thunderbird will and my gnome panels to lock up and not respond? | 23:44 |
| grigora | how do I know if I am on Feisty or something else? from CLI | 23:44 |
| donnyw | so I'm not really having any luck finding specific support for my wireless card, any suggestions? | 23:45 |
| Slade | grigora: why only from cli? | 23:45 |
| genii | lisa_: If you're saving things in a common place and you d/l a virus in an email or vb macro for instance, you can infect windows from inside ubuntu. but not the other way around | 23:45 |
| grigora | Slade: because I am connected to it remotely | 23:45 |
| CochiseIRL | grigora, cat /etc/issue | 23:45 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: Technically no, but if you run the other OS in a VM, the keylogger on the native side will pick up everything you do in the VM | 23:45 |
| grigora | CochiseIRL: many thanks | 23:45 |
| e7th04sh | practically not | 23:45 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 23:46 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:46 |

| lisa_ | ConstyXIV, so only keyloggers are a concern? | 23:47 |
| droopsta915 | it says change the association in your preferences. | 23:47 |
| Slade | grigora: cat /etc/issue | 23:47 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: yeah, and then only in VMs | 23:47 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: if you dual-boot, there's not much to worry about | 23:47 |
| Vastlee | New User, just installed the 64bit Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. Installation seemed to go without a hitch, but the drive I installed it on won't boot. | 23:47 |
| lisa_ | ConstyXIV, so as long as my windows is clean of any keyloggers, I can safely use Ubuntu in virtualbox? | 23:48 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: that includes wubii | 23:48 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: yes | 23:48 |
| lisa_ | ConstyXIV, whats wubii? | 23:48 |
| Totakeke | I need a little help booting Linux from my flash drive, it just boots right to Windows. I already changed the boot order for "removable drives | 23:48 |
| grigora | CochiseIRL: yes, it did | 23:48 |
| carandraug | cppmonkey: took you a lot of time. I started in December and already threw MIcrosoft out the window | 23:48 |
| Totakeke | but that didn't help | 23:48 |
| lisa_ | ConstyXIV, i never type anything in Ubuntu anyway. I copy and paste from a text file into my bank website | 23:48 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: er, wubi. basically it's a new non-destructive method of dual-booting | 23:48 |

| uoaphys | Hi, what permissions do I need set in the system and with cups to allow remote users to print froma windows machine? I think thats whats blocking my remote print jobs. Thanks,. | 23:49 |
| Vastlee | New User, just installed the 64bit Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. Installation seemed to go without a hitch, but the drive I installed it on won't boot. Not only have I set the drive I installed it to as the primary boot device in cmos, but I've also used the boot manager to specify that drive. Does anyone have any suggestions? | 23:49 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: just burn or mount the ISO, click "Install inside Windows" in the autorun, follow directions, presto. 100% safe, reversible dual-boot | 23:50 |
| rr73 | apt-get 'ing kubuntu-desktop changes it all to kubuntu or can i still run gnome as well and just change what i login? | 23:50 |

| lisa_ | ConstyXIV, what? | 23:50 |
| caveman26 | how do I format a drive without using the root account? I just formated my external in root, now I cant write to it with my user account, how do I fix that? | 23:50 |
| frostbyt3 | now that I finally got ubuntu working, whats the first thing I should download/ do? | 23:50 |
| usser | caveman26, whats the filesystem? | 23:50 |
| Slade | Vastlee: physical device type? SATA (Serial ATA), PATA (Parallel ATA) | 23:50 |
| caveman26 | ext3 | 23:50 |
| Bodsda | frostbyt3 your choice, i always get rid of the orangeness | 23:51 |
| Vastlee | SATA | 23:51 |
| ConstyXIV | lisa_: it's a way of installing ubuntu in a dual-boot setup without destroying anything. /msg me if you want a walkthrough | 23:51 |
| usser | caveman26, where do u mount it? | 23:51 |
| droopsta915 | im trying to get a power point open but it says Change the association in your preferences. | 23:51 |
| caveman26 | on my desktop | 23:51 |
| cppmonkey | carandraug, Unfortunatly I cant run Visual Studio on Linux, so thats the main reason. a lot of my code I write for my degree just doesnt work under wine | 23:51 |
| Slade | Vastlee: you *may* want to set the sata operation to legacy mode in your bios | 23:51 |
| caveman26 | its just for backups | 23:51 |
| frostbyt3 | what are some good sites for themes | 23:51 |
| Totakeke | Can someone help me? I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from my flash drive but it won't boot, it just boots to Windows. Help? | 23:51 |
| Bodsda | frostbyt3, www.gnome-look.org | 23:51 |
| Vastlee | Ok, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestion Slade. | 23:51 |
| otro_viajero7 | hello, did someone try to use ubuntu under a virtual machine with bochs? | 23:51 |
| andax | Vastlee, at the end of the installation there was a question about installing the boot loader into the 'mbr', if you answered yes then undo the changes you have done, remove the cd and it should boot. If you answered no then just change the boot device priority in the bios. | 23:51 |
| frostbyt3 | thanks! | 23:51 |
| Slade | Vastlee: no prob, bob | 23:51 |
| carandraug | frostbyt3: do you use gnome or kde? | 23:51 |
| remoteCTRL | i am trying to get motv to run but i get errors, see http://www.nopaste.org/p/aeRB7rp1cb i basically have a picture and channels but i get no sound, any ideas please? | 23:52 |
| frostbyt3 | No idea, jsut downloaded ubuntu from ubuntu.com | 23:52 |
| usser | caveman26, hm, well u gotta know the mountpoint, did u mount it manually or was it done automatically? its probably in /media | 23:52 |
| Vastlee | Andax: No such question came. After installation, the only message that came up was that I needed to reboot the computer. | 23:52 |
| Bodsda | frostburn, is your dekstop orange or blue? | 23:52 |
| frostbyt3 | orange | 23:52 |
| carandraug | frostbyt3: then it's gnome. www.gnome-look.org | 23:52 |
| Bodsda | frostbyt3, then your using gnome | 23:52 |
| rr73 | apt-get 'ing kubuntu-desktop changes it all to kubuntu or can i still run gnome as well and just change what i login? | 23:52 |
| Vastlee | Going to go try switching it to legacy, we'll see from there. | 23:52 |
| Sorlag | Hi folks.. how do i edit which things are shown on desktop? i.e. mounted drives | 23:52 |
| andax | Vastlee, in this case disregard what i said sorry. | 23:52 |
| caveman26 | automatically... its a USB drive | 23:53 |
| frostbyt3 | Ok, thanks@ | 23:53 |
| droopsta915 | totakeke: what file format is ubuntu in the flashdrive? | 23:53 |
| marcules | Good Evening | 23:53 |
| Vastlee | Np, thanks for trying Andax | 23:53 |
| Bodsda | rr73, you get to choose between gnome or kde at the login screen, and you can run kde aps on gnome and vice versa | 23:53 |
| carandraug | Sorlag: UbuntuTweak has a great interface for that | 23:53 |
| usser | caveman26, look in /media there supposed to be something there besides cdrom | 23:53 |
| usser | caveman26, tell me whats there | 23:53 |

| Slade | Totakeke: yes. in the ubuntu install make sure its set to ext3 | 23:54 |
| Spruce | Hello, I just updated my ubuntu (clicked the update icon and let it run in the background) however it changed something cause now if I boot to the newest option in grub my wireless is not working what so ever...so does anyone have any ideas about what happend? | 23:54 |
| carandraug | Sorlag: it's not in the repositories though. You'll have to take a look on their website | 23:54 |
| caveman26 | I see my internal drive and the external drive | 23:55 |
| Sorlag | carandraug yeah but there is a terminal command for it.. but i couldnt remember.. | 23:55 |
| Sorlag | like gconfig or smth | 23:55 |
| usser | caveman26, ok then whats the name of the external? | 23:55 |
| Totakeke | Slade: Does that mean I have to manually partition it or can I still use the guided installation? Should I reformat it under Windows to something different? (I don't think it partitions with the guided partitioning, I think it just partitions. | 23:55 |
| caveman26 | 20g Media | 23:55 |
| carandraug | Sorlag: yeah. And there's probably some text file you can edit. Took a look at .gnome2 or .gconf/ ? | 23:55 |
| usser | caveman26, nah not that, open up terminal and type "ls /media" what does it say? | 23:56 |
| Slade | Totakeke: try doing it manually under the ubuntu install | 23:56 |
| Slade | and setting it to ext3 | 23:56 |
| caveman26 | ok... all I see is floppy and cdrom | 23:57 |
| Totakeke | Slade > So how much space should I give to each partition, and where should I mount it? (Mounting and partitioning was something I had a lot of trouble with when trying to install Ubuntu on my old PC) | 23:57 |
| Sorlag | carandraug .. the command was gconf-editor.. now im looking for the things to be shown on desktop Oo | 23:57 |
