| kernnando | okay.. but still i have downloaded a plugin for amsn.. its a music plugin so it displays the now playing feature of msn... anyway if i try to do chmod +x music-1.5.zip it says no such file directory ... but its there | 00:00 |
| fsufitch | Jordan_U: is there any way to ensure my system *only* uses ram if ram is available? (which it will almost always be) | 00:00 |
| Saladin | refriedbeans: Ubuntu uses nowhere near as much resources as Vista, even with all the Compiz effects running. Like I said, Ubuntu FTW. You sound just like me when I made the move to Ubuntu. ^_^ | 00:01 |
| wols_ | disable swap | 00:01 |
| tyg13 | can i allocate a program less ram to run on? | 00:01 |
| rr | running setti@home to get my PC with vista running | 00:01 |
| wols_ | tyg13: no | 00:01 |
| failure | is disabling swap a good idea? | 00:01 |
| bastid_raZor | tyg13; are you referring to virtualbox? | 00:02 |
| refriedbeans | omg i know, ubuntu is like xp, but a million times better | 00:02 |
| bastid_raZor | kernnando; you're typing the path/to/file incorrectly? | 00:02 |

| wols_ | bastid_raZor: talk about warez elsewhere please | 00:02 |
| refriedbeans | when i first discovered Ubuntu, i was shocked at how fast it ran | 00:02 |
| obf213 | refriedbeans, it like causes 90 percecnt of my screen to go black with little white strips | 00:02 |
| obf213 | and i have to cold restart | 00:02 |
| tyg13 | tyg13: no I'm running john the ripper and its taking almost all of my resources. BTW i'm running john because I saw something about google hacks which led to DES hashes etc. etc. | 00:02 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about renice | 00:02 |

| refriedbeans | are you serious? yeah right. i would rather get a mac, and then install ubuntu on another partition | 00:02 |

| Saladin | wols_: I just checked the netstst, and a couple of things: First, how can I tell what is an upload stream? Secondly, something that seems strange on the streams is this: " /tmp/orbit-matt/linc-18a6-0-66aba4111d92b" as I have no idea what it is. Any ideas? | 00:03 |
| wols_ | orbit is a ORB. what is the other endpoint? | 00:03 |
| === obf213 is now known as obf214 | ||
| wols_ | orbit is used by gnome bonobo. what was your netstat commandline to check? | 00:04 |
| tyg13 | Is there a way to search the package database using aptitude? | 00:04 |
| Saladin | wols_: I just typed in netstat on the command line | 00:04 |
| tyg13 | something like apt-find or apt-search? | 00:04 |
| wols_ | tyg13: aptitude search | 00:04 |
| Jordan_U | bastid_raZor: This might be helpful http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/ | 00:05 |
| wols_ | Saladin: wrong way. that /tmp thing is a local unix socket not a program | 00:05 |
| refriedbeans | i'm taking up 502 MB of RAM so far, and using 50% CPU power, but i can understand because i have multiple programs open | 00:05 |
| carandraug | tyg13: yes. aptitude search | 00:05 |
| wols_ | not even a network thing | 00:05 |

| refriedbeans | *etv | 00:05 |
| refriedbeans | ugh, etc lol | 00:05 |
| wols_ | refriedbeans: using 50% cpu is bad | 00:06 |
| refriedbeans | why? | 00:06 |
| Odd-rationale | refriedbeans: + compiz? | 00:06 |
| Saladin | wols_: Okay. What command SHOULD I use? | 00:06 |
| refriedbeans | i have compiz on yes | 00:06 |
| wols_ | Saladin: sudo netstat -anp | 00:06 |
| tyg13 | I'm currently up to 100% but I have jtr running | 00:06 |

| ubottu | Jordan: 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. :-) | 00:06 |
| refriedbeans | ok, i got rid of the special graphics | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | Jordan_U: Just state your problem, and try not to get too confused with nicks if I help you :) | 00:07 |
| wols_ | Jordan_U: you seem to be very confused yourself... | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | Jordan: Looks like I was the first to get confused ... :) | 00:07 |
| refriedbeans | yep i knew it. firefox was taking up the cpu power | 00:07 |
| Jordan | Haha, no problem. | 00:07 |
| tyg13 | damn firefox :( | 00:07 |
| tyg13 | crap.. | 00:08 |
| wols_ | damn flash rather | 00:08 |
| refriedbeans | thats why i have opera on here too | 00:08 |
| tyg13 | I have only XChat running and I'm up to 100% still CPU | 00:08 |
| refriedbeans | yeah, i was on youtube a second ago on firefox | 00:08 |
| refriedbeans | :o | 00:08 |
| refriedbeans | i'm around 10-20% now | 00:08 |
| Jordan | When I try to install updates using the package manager I get the error message "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to solve the problem". When I do that it spits out a really long error message, about 30 or 40 lines and still doesn't work. | 00:08 |
| tyg13 | I'm going to say from experience that that is VERY BAD.. | 00:09 |

| wols_ | Jordan_U: the dpkg-reconfigure -a errors | 00:09 |

| speener | it would make things a bit easier | 00:37 |
| floppyears | I installed ubuntu for a non-geek friend so something user friendly is what I'm looking for | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | Snares: just use the System --> admin --> software sources utility | 00:37 |

| floppyears | WDC: there's a bunch, I'm wondering which I should suggest to him | 00:38 |
| floppyears | WDC: I guess the problem is choice :) | 00:38 |
| Snares | Odd-rationale: how exactly do I use that to restore my sources.list to normal | 00:38 |
| WDC | floppyears: "Movie Player" should be JUST fine. | 00:38 |
| ValentineX | wols_: owh I can't setup phone or modem internet at my ubuntu . every time to test and for errors I boot to ubuntu then I come back at windows for internet :(( ok I will tell of errors later. | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Snares: just select a mirror and reload | 00:39 |
| wols_ | ValentineX: that's no reason to install stuff frm source | 00:39 |

| wols_ | ValentineX: or help.ubuntu.com to learn how to install stuff | 00:41 |
| ValentineX | wols_: I don't understand those web sites that's why I come here :-s | 00:41 |
| jahnkeanater | there is something wrong with ubuntu on my comp | 00:41 |
| jahnkeanater | i think it might be compiz | 00:42 |
| Bhavesh | i found ( i think) a bug in buntu server with dmraid software | 00:42 |
| wols_ | ValentineX: find someone else to prechew and handhold you. goodbye | 00:42 |
| jahnkeanater | i dont have a top thing | 00:42 |
| Odd-rationale | speener: well, first it checks the local music dir (the one the music file is in) for any png, jpg with the name "cover". If none, then it goes online and downloads a cover and stores it to ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers and saves it as "<artist> - <album" | 00:42 |
| * bastid_raZor laughs.. prechew | 00:42 | |
| ValentineX | wols_: don't get angry thanks :s | 00:42 |

| pablin31 | hi | 00:43 |
| bastid_raZor | ValentineX; the ubuntu pages handhold you.. they tell you in step by step directions how to do almost anything | 00:43 |
| Bhavesh | normall installation of ubuntu server goes fine, when i install dmraid and it rebuilds the initrd reboot fails | 00:43 |
| jahnkeanater | wow what is the border called on a window | 00:43 |
| rr | uuuuuu | 00:43 |
| speener | Odd-rationale: is there a way to save the files in the same dir as the song file? | 00:43 |
| Terralthra | !kernel | 00:43 |
| wols_ | Bhavesh: do you have a real hardware raid? | 00:43 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 00:43 |

| Odd-rationale | speener: in amarok, i beleive there was a plugin to do just that... let me see if i can find it... | 00:43 |
| Saladin | jahnkeanater: That will fix it for you. And the border is often called a chrome | 00:43 |
| jahnkeanater | thanks alot | 00:43 |
| Bhavesh | wols_ nope.. i am trying to use fakeRAID, fyi, same setup worked fine earlier in 8.04 and i actually had raid working but now it's not working | 00:44 |
| jahnkeanater | ok | 00:44 |
| Saladin | jahnkeanater: Let me know if you have problems | 00:44 |
| jahnkeanater | i didnt know what to call it | 00:44 |
| ValentineX | wols_: I am sorry I am a simple user and new at ubuntu its hard for me to use commands and etc :) but I am learning day by day and I am sticking always to my ubuntu :d | 00:44 |
| jahnkeanater | na it looks fixed | 00:44 |
| jahnkeanater | y did it do that | 00:44 |
| Saladin | jahnkeanater: I'm not sure. It's happened a few times to me, and I've never been able to diagnose the problem. | 00:45 |
| jahnkeanater | k | 00:45 |
| jahnkeanater | how often | 00:45 |
| Odd-rationale | speener: you're not using amarok 2, are you? | 00:45 |
| jahnkeanater | is it compiz | 00:45 |
| speener | Odd-rationale: nope | 00:45 |
| speener | 1.4 | 00:45 |
| Odd-rationale | speener: then this should work: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/CopyCover+(amaroK+Script)?content=22517 | 00:46 |
| jahnkeanater | it was hard to navigate here without the chrome | 00:46 |
| keta | who was helping me with vwebcam earlier? | 00:46 |
| Saladin | jahnkeanater: Like I said, just a couple of times. And I've been using Ubuntu for nearly a year now. It may be compiz, but I can't be sure. And yeah, it does make it hard. | 00:46 |
| keta | i cant get cam to work. dont know if system is recognizing it | 00:47 |
| floppyears | hi guys | 00:47 |
| keta | !v4l | 00:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about v4l | 00:47 |
| TazzY- | Odd-rationale, where can i found the thing used with wget? | 00:47 |
| floppyears | what do you recommend: beagle or deskbar applet ? | 00:47 |
| jahnkeanater | ok then thanks bye | 00:47 |
| floppyears | what do you guys use ? | 00:47 |
| Jordan_U | keta: What program are you using? | 00:47 |
| Odd-rationale | TazzY-: in the same directory you ran it in | 00:47 |
| Saladin | !webcam | 00:47 |

| darkblue_B | ok.. more on VNC.. it seems that there is something running on port 5900, but a scan from the outside shows port 5900 on the box as 'closed'... what might have 'closed' port 5900? how can I open it.. (I have sudo.. its a remote machine) | 00:48 |
| Saladin | Check that link, keta | 00:48 |
| Odd-rationale | TazzY-: most likely, ~ | 00:48 |
| keta | ok. i tried amsn earlier. brb guys, reading the page | 00:48 |
| darkblue_B | .. something meaning, the built in VNC sevrer I think should be working | 00:49 |
| Gillpy | I can see that lots of linux documentation is formatted with PREV in the top left, and NEXT in the top right. Is there a program for formatting html like this? | 00:49 |
| speener | Odd-rationale: thanx man, i'll try it out | 00:49 |
| Odd-rationale | speener: np | 00:49 |

| pablin31 | how to config xfi in ubuntu 8.04 | 00:50 |
| pablin31 | !soundcards | 00:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcards | 00:50 |
| lenswipe | how to make phpmail() use port 587 | 00:50 |
| Saladin | lenswipe: Try editing the phpconfig file? | 00:50 |
| pablin31 | !soundcard | 00:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard | 00:50 |
| lenswipe | Saladin: does that work on ubuntu? | 00:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | pablin31: that device is known for some problems on 8.04.. google should find you some config options to get it working | 00:50 |
| Saladin | lenswipe: I haven't a clue. One would imagine so. | 00:51 |
| mollusk | hey guise! | 00:51 |
| Sanketsu | I'm looking for a way to easily convert a .txt file from it's normal formatting to <=39 characters for reading on my Nintendo DS via Moonshell, using something readily available in Ubuntu. Any ideas? | 00:51 |
| RyanPrior | is there an Ubuntu performance / bottleneck test suite similar to Windows Vista's "performance information" program? | 00:51 |
| Sanketsu | *<=39 characters per line | 00:51 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: you could do that with sed no problem. | 00:52 |
| Sanketsu | sed? | 00:52 |
| * Sanketsu is quite... inexperienced with things in Ubuntu still. | 00:52 | |
| lenswipe | Saladin: cos some things with regard to phpmail() only work with windoze | 00:52 |
| keta | Saladin: i cant even install easycam | 00:53 |
| Saladin | lenswipe: I see. I'm not entirely sure; I'm not a php master, unfortunately. | 00:53 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: are you familiar with the Linux terminal at all? | 00:53 |
| darkblue_B | ok, more clues.. port 5900 is shown as 'closed' by nmap because the router has a port forward for it, but the actual machine dow not have 5900 open.. discovered with nmap localhost on the tagret machine | 00:53 |
| Saladin | lenswipe: I guess you could try it and see what happens? | 00:54 |
| jahnkeanater | yea some pages in my crome or w/e dont have minamize and maximize buttons | 00:54 |
| rr | more or less should give output to screen file | 00:54 |
| lenswipe | Saladin: well seing as no mail currently works on my server i havent anything to loose, ill give it a try | 00:54 |
| lenswipe | what the hell! :P | 00:54 |
| bastid_raZor | jahnkeanater; that would be window decorations in compiz | 00:54 |
| Fevrin | Does anyone know of a way to access extra content on a music CD? When I insert a CD, I can only access the songs, and only from cdda://scd0/; I can't really access a folder with all of the files on the disc, as I can do in Windows, surprisingly. | 00:55 |
| Saladin | lenswipe: Alright. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Let me know if it works. | 00:55 |
| jahnkeanater | ok | 00:55 |
| Saladin | Fevrin: Does the additional content require Windows? | 00:55 |
| lenswipe | Saladin: thats ok, thanks for the help u did give me | 00:55 |
| Bhavesh | does anyone know of any current bug in dmraid or udev that is in 8.0.4.1 that would create corrupted/wrong initrd image file and prevent someone from booting the computer? | 00:56 |
| abe3k | Hi, Anyone knows how to make a program run automatically after detecting an internet connection ? | 00:56 |
| Fevrin | Saladin: No, it's just .mov files (which of course play fine, with the correct packages installed from Synaptic). | 00:56 |
| mollusk | Hey to everyone that knows a bit about programming. I have an idea. recently I realized that running my external hard drive to load my music from it was a bit of a pain. So I though of an Idea to sort of fix this issue, although I don't know much about programming. My idea is to take my 14 gigs of music and compress is into a very small format then have something like rhythmbox read it and play them as normal. My format would convert 14 gigs persay into 5 | 00:56 |
| mollusk | gigs which would be small enough to happly place on my 80 gigs drive. Is there anyone who would be interested in this idea or willing ti make such a format. (not sure if this has been done) Thanks guys can always count on you. | 00:56 |
| pablin31 | creative sucks | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | pablin31: no, creative is fine. | 00:57 |
| pablin31 | ubuntu sucks | 00:57 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: I've been doing some basic things with it, but not too familiar quite yet. | 00:57 |
| pablin31 | ejeje | 00:57 |
| Saladin | Fevrin: Ah, okay. In that case, I'm not sure. | 00:57 |
| pablin31 | creative sucks | 00:57 |
| Fevrin | Saladin: Thank you for considering my case. | 00:58 |
| Odd-rationale | mollusk: you can always just use a lower bitrate... :P | 00:58 |
| jahnkeanater | yea i had 3 creative mp3s break | 00:58 |
| * lenswipe yawns | 00:58 | |
| Saladin | Fevrin: No worries. In fact, can you see the files on the disc? | 00:58 |
| opeth | is there anyway to login to gdm with two usernames? I mean I have two monitors. is it possible to use one gdm on one screen as one user, and other screen as another user.. or something similar? | 00:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | opeth: that would be quite a feat... the easiest way, is hook the other monitor up to another computer. | 00:59 |
| kitche | opeth: have to create another X.org server | 00:59 |
| mollusk | Odd-rationale, yeah but thats no fun. I am into innovation and revolutionary ideas such as my idea which so far I have not found to be true | 00:59 |
| Fevrin | Saladin: No. Well, I can only see the music files (.wav files) in cdda://scd0/, but none of the .mov files. | 00:59 |
| abe3k | is there anyway to make a program run by itself every 10 or 20 minutes ? | 01:00 |
| wols_ | abe3k: cronjob | 01:00 |
| ubuntusrc | where can i download the sources for my ubuntu hardy heron ??? 2.6.24-19-generic ? | 01:00 |
| rr | chron | 01:00 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: same place you downloaded the package | 01:00 |
| ubuntusrc | where can i download the kernel sources for my ubuntu hardy heron ??? 2.6.24-19-generic ? | 01:00 |
| mollusk | guess no one can carry out my idea...oh well time to make a forum post | 01:01 |
| speener | Odd-rationale: thanx...it works well, the only thing is that it add the image once a song from the album has been played... | 01:01 |
| speener | i have over 2000 albums | 01:01 |
| Hyuukai | how do i run tightvnc? | 01:01 |
| speener | lol... | 01:01 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: there is only iso images | 01:01 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: wrong | 01:01 |
| adminuser | //server us.undernet.org | 01:01 |
| speener | it will eventually happen | 01:01 |
| Odd-rationale | speener: correct, the scrip runs only when a song from the album is played... | 01:01 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: i downloaded from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/ | 01:01 |
| danhs | Seems like cups isn't recognizing foomatic drivers installed to /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/printer | 01:02 |
| wols_ | mollusk: how do you want to compress 14GB of mp3 into 5GB. what you propose is simply... stupid | 01:02 |
| Odd-rationale | speener: if you havne't played it yet, then you don't need the cover art... :P | 01:02 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: that | 01:02 |
| danhs | anyway I can *make* it recognize those drivers? | 01:02 |
| speener | lol...true | 01:02 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: that's the installer cd. not a ubuntu repo | 01:02 |
| abe3k | <wols_>: thanks alot :) | 01:02 |
| speener | i play most my music... | 01:02 |
| mollusk | wols_, explain how this would be stupid? | 01:02 |
| Hyuukai | Can somebody explain to me how i run xtightvncviewer? | 01:02 |
| Hyuukai | oh ok | 01:02 |
| wols_ | mollusk: learn about compression before you continue and everybody laughs at you | 01:02 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: but how can i install this? | 01:02 |
| yopyop_ | Hello ppl | 01:02 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: apt-get source <stuff> | 01:03 |
| yopyop_ | Need some help! How 2 compile in 64 plz :D | 01:03 |
| yopyop_ | New on buntu | 01:03 |
| wols_ | mollusk: so before you propose this, first find out what compression scheme you want to use | 01:03 |
| wols_ | yopyop_: install build-essential | 01:03 |
| yopyop_ | ty | 01:03 |
| Odd-rationale | ubuntusrc: well, in system --> admin --> software sources, be sure to enable the sourece code repos. then "sudo apt-get source <packagename>" | 01:03 |
| wols_ | !compile | yopyop_ | 01:03 |

| ubuntusrc | danhs: yes | 01:04 |

| ich | Problem with nvidia-glx-new, a 7900 GT and my nice Ubuntu 7.10 -> after installing and config of xorg.conf "save graphics mode" | 01:06 |
| Odd-rationale | iki_: whether it is fast ot slow... | 01:06 |
| wols_ | iki_: check your mobo manual. check if ehci* is loaded | 01:06 |
| jahnkeanater | yea none of the settings on compiz are working | 01:07 |
| kaivar | i was wondering how to get java to work on hardy... i tried tutorials found on the net and on the java website itself but scripts won't load... | 01:07 |
| user01 | can someone help me with my thinkpad bios so i can boot ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: yes, i tried linux-source-$(uname -r) and this dont find anything :( | 01:07 |
| jahnkeanater | user01 ok | 01:07 |
| * wols_ laughs at mollusk cause he`s so lcueless | 01:07 | |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: you didn't say that in the first place. and this is NOT the name of your kernel package either | 01:08 |
| Hyuukai | can anyone tell me how to run xtightubuntuviewer? | 01:08 |
| jahnkeanater | user01: are you dual booting | 01:08 |
| yopyop_ | Yo | 01:08 |
| Hyuukai | i mean xtightvncviewer | 01:08 |
| wols_ | Hyuukai: manpage. or how else do you know a program you know the name? you simply TYPE it | 01:08 |
| yopyop_ | I got this error when i try yo compile | 01:08 |

| ubuntusrc | wols_: in the search of apt-cache i only find for this = linux-source-2.6.24 and not linux-source-2.6.24-19-generic, i downloaded this and i can add the module 8250 | 01:08 |
| ant17017 | #vbox | 01:09 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: *i cant | 01:09 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: I doubt you want to add this module and neither you you need kernel sources normally to compile a module | 01:09 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: adding it won't work most probably | 01:10 |
| threethirty | I was wondering, do the intel GMA 915 gfx card and the wifi chip work in gobuntu? | 01:10 |
| ich | i know this sounds funny but does anyone know how to install a graphics driver for 7900 (nvidia-glx-new) on a Ubuntu 7.10 system... i just dont get this card to run.... | 01:10 |
| user01 | jahnkeanater, no it doesnt like the hitachi 7200 i put in | 01:11 |
| Hyuukai | ich get envy | 01:11 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: yes, i need to add this module, and i downloada the package linux-source-2.6.24 and i got to compile (8250.c --> 8250.ko), but when i insmod 8250.ko this fail | 01:11 |
| user01 | jahnkeanater, hitachi isnt ibmish enough for it | 01:11 |
| bigape | Is it legal to put Ubuntu on a PS3? | 01:11 |
| Hyuukai | yes it is | 01:11 |
| ich | Hyuukai, i have already installed envy... it says that my system is not supported :( | 01:11 |
| itachi | hello? | 01:11 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: sorry for my bad english | 01:11 |
| Flannel | !hi | itachi | 01:11 |
| ubottu | itachi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:11 |
| itachi | hi | 01:11 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: but i think that you understand | 01:11 |
| Hyuukai | ps3 have allowed linux to be put onto there system and even lisence yellowdog to do so | 01:11 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: 8250 is a serial controller? RS232C? | 01:12 |
| Hyuukai | update to 8.04? | 01:12 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: yes | 01:12 |
| bigape | Hyuukai: but can I still access the PS3 system? I don't need modchips, you mean? | 01:12 |
| itachi | hello ubottu | 01:12 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: you do NOT need a module for this. the end | 01:12 |
| genii | wols_: Yes | 01:12 |
| Denise | what is crazy with pidgin? | 01:12 |
| Odd-rationale | !hi | itachi | 01:12 |
| ubottu | itachi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:12 |
| itachi | thank you | 01:12 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: that hardware was supported since about linux 1.x | 01:12 |
| Hyuukai | yes you can access the ps3 system | 01:12 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: in my ubuntu version, in the kernel, this is marked with * and not M and i cant add this module | 01:12 |
| Hyuukai | you install ubuntu in the other os feature on ps3 | 01:13 |
| itachi | so whats up | 01:13 |
| Hyuukai | and it doesnt nothing to affect your ps3 system | 01:13 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: man... i need this module!!! | 01:13 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: that means it's COMPILED IN! | 01:13 |
| floppyears | what's a good iphoto alternative in ubuntu ? | 01:13 |
| wols_ | no you don't | 01:13 |
| bigape | Can I run Ubuntu live, Hyuukai? | 01:13 |
| wols_ | your /boot/vmlinuz* has this module compiled in | 01:13 |
| genii | * instead of M means it's compiled into the kernel and not made into a separate module | 01:13 |
| threethirty | floppyears: fsopt is like iphoto | 01:13 |
| Hyuukai | i am not sure but tbh you wouldnt wanna | 01:13 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: its for my remote control works with the lirc, cause the lirc_serial never work with my control | 01:13 |
| Flannel | bigape: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/ | 01:13 |
| bigape | Why not Hyuukai? | 01:14 |
| wols_ | that doesn't mean it will help you to compile it. you can't even modprobe it | 01:14 |
| tspike | I have a home file server mounted using sshfs and I'm using it to stream mp3s, but I'm getting buffer underruns due to the network speed. Anyone know of a player that will pre-buffer? | 01:14 |
| floppyears | threethirty: is f-spot the only one or is there something else ? | 01:14 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: no matter how long you will argue: you will NOT need to compile this module | 01:14 |
| Hyuukai | because ps3's arent that powerful even if u install it its kinda slow | 01:14 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: you can't even | 01:14 |
| ich | Hyuukai, ENVY ERROR: Your Operative System does not seem to be supported by Envy | 01:14 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: i dont understand the sign of *, who its mean??? please | 01:14 |
| Hyuukai | hmmm | 01:14 |
| wols_ | you were already told. by two people. READ more | 01:14 |
| bigape | Hyuukai: Xfce or JWM? | 01:14 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: but, so, how can i use this? | 01:14 |
| ich | Hyuukai, perhaps a new(er) version? :D | 01:14 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: learn about kernel parameters | 01:15 |
| Hyuukai | i would sugguest get ubuntu 8.04 and make sure u got the latest envy | 01:15 |
| carandraug | tspike: audacious have prebuffer. You can control it in miliseconds | 01:15 |
| Hyuukai | and bigape whats yur question sorry | 01:15 |

| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: I had to get help from a more experienced sed user, but I found a command that ought to do pretty much what you want. | 01:15 |
| wols_ | ich: if you use envy you won't get ANY help here anymore | 01:15 |
| tspike | carandraug: awesome... does it have a textmode interface in addition to the GUI? | 01:15 |
| bigape | Hyuukai: can I just boot Linux PS3 with the bare minimum, with only JWM? | 01:15 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: but there is a way that i can compile this module for a .ko file??? | 01:15 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: Sweetness, hit me. | 01:15 |
| wols_ | ich: use envyng from hardy if your really must | 01:15 |
| xyblor_ | what sets the XAUTHORITY environment variable, and when? | 01:16 |
| threethirty | floppyears: its the only one for gnome i know, but you can always install digikam in gnome | 01:16 |
| Hyuukai | i would try xubuntu if its possible to install | 01:16 |
| ich | Hyuukai, no problem with 8.04, but i have a X-Fi card here and this card is currently only supported by/with (dont know) Ubuntu 7.10 because of this stupid driver from creative... | 01:16 |
| bigape | Hyuukai: why is it slow to run live if it's 3.2ghz? | 01:16 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: you can,but it'S stupid and pointless and frm what you displayed so far won't work anyways or you botch the kernel compile | 01:16 |
| carandraug | tspike: don't know about playing in the terminal but I use the terminal to enqueue files | 01:16 |
| wols_ | ubuntusrc: so even if you manage to do it, all you did was wasting time | 01:16 |
| floppyears | thanks | 01:16 |
| TheK | help :) I'm having serious trouble installing hardy on my new rig. The partitioiner fails because of "deprecated SCSI operations" Has anyone encountered this before? | 01:16 |
| Hyuukai | a ps3 is not 3.2ghz and even if it is very little ram and no access to gpu | 01:17 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: ok | 01:17 |
| bigape | Hyuukai: so how do I make a game for PS3? | 01:17 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: suppose you had a file called mystory.txt. To format it for your DS, run the command "cat mystory.txt | sed 'h;:a;s/\(.\{,39\}\).*/\1/p;x;s/.\{,39\}//;h;/./ba;d' > mystory-DS.txt" (without the beginning and ending quotes.) It will print out 39-character lines. If you needed a different number of characters, change the two 39's to some other number. | 01:17 |
| Hyuukai | you dont? | 01:17 |
| Hyuukai | lol | 01:17 |
| bigape | Hyuukai: but people play Super NES on PS3! | 01:18 |
| ubuntusrc | wols_: thanks | 01:18 |
| Hyuukai | yeah you can install a emulator | 01:18 |
| Hyuukai | and it will cope with that | 01:18 |
| Hyuukai | but it doesn use the gpu | 01:18 |
| tspike | carandraug: thanks for the help | 01:18 |
| bigape | hyuukai but isn't PS3 open source? | 01:18 |
| wols_ | bigape: not in your dreams | 01:18 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: Sweet, thanks! | 01:18 |
| Hyuukai | yes it is but playstation have blocked the gpu t | 01:18 |
| ich | wols_, like i said, i cant even use envy... i just searched the web and found that thing... no, my true problem is that this driver dont initialize itself... xorg.conf seems to be good... | 01:18 |

| lopin | IndyGunFreak, Yes, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I disabled IPv6 in Firefox, and it got better, but it's still not perfect. For example, AJAX stuff isn't working in Firefox 3.0.1, but I think that has something to do with the way Mozilla changed the way it handles AJAX now. | 01:23 |

| Flannel | bravo7: Beryl and Compiz don't exist as separate entities anymore | 01:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Andril: have you googled at all? | 01:27 |
| ich | wols_, oh some more: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. | 01:27 |
| danhs | Just can't seem to load it | 01:27 |
| wols_ | temoto: read the link Flannel gave you | 01:27 |
| wols_ | ich: only FIRST errors | 01:27 |
| Mecha25 | Anybody know about Ubuntu's USB backend and why it completely cuts out on me whenever I do intensive reads from any USB device? | 01:27 |
| lopin | Whiz2, Just install Kubuntu, then install Gnome through the command prompt. You can remove it later (although it definitely takes a few steps)... Just select Gnome from your login manager... | 01:27 |
| bravo7 | Flannel so they are same? | 01:27 |
| ripps | I've got a weird problem, I recently bought a Kensington Micro USB Bluetooth module. It works great, the only problem is that my Wifi internet stops working whenever I have it plugged in. What's the deal? | 01:27 |
| Andril | yes and that's where i got the guide you said not to use | 01:27 |
| Flannel | bravo7: Yes. compiz-fusion. | 01:27 |
| khro | question: right click is not working anymore for my mouse(because of the mouse itself)...so how i can possibly perform right click?(on ubuntu generally) | 01:27 |
| Mecha25 | rips: probably RF interference | 01:27 |
| Flannel | Andril: use this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/I386 | 01:27 |
| ich | wols_, ok, then this thing about the pci:3*... | 01:27 |
| JordanOR | Flannel/Mecha25: GParted kicked back a different error: "Partition is mounted with write permissions. Cannot check it." | 01:28 |
| ripps | Mecha25: How do I fix it? | 01:28 |
| Mecha25 | JordanOR: unmount the partition first | 01:28 |
| lopin | Could my router be getting in the way of my IPv6 communications? Like, getting all confused? | 01:28 |
| Flannel | JordanOR: You need to unmount the partitions first (theyre mounted automatically) | 01:28 |
| rlc | sup? | 01:28 |
| wols_ | JordanOR: you cannot use gparted on a mounted partition. unmount it first | 01:28 |
| temoto | wols_, auto is redundant? | 01:28 |
| lopin | Whiz2, just use the command, 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop' | 01:28 |
| itachi | to install it from usb drive i need to be running linux already | 01:28 |
| wols_ | temoto: no. but reading the docs as flannel told you is not redundant | 01:28 |
| itachi | and thats what i want to do | 01:28 |
| temoto | wols_, i've read it. | 01:29 |
| wols_ | ich: install a colinux | 01:29 |
| wols_ | temoto: then apply what you read | 01:29 |
| Andril | \This document describes how to install Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" on Intel x86 computers ("i386"), using the Alternative installation CD. | 01:29 |
| aguitel | i cannot enable "important security updates (hardy-securuty) from software sources ,anyone know how fix it ? | 01:29 |
| Mecha25 | ripps: not sure, I'm guessing you have low wireless signal as it is, right? | 01:29 |
| wols_ | !errors | aguitel | 01:29 |
| ubottu | aguitel: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 01:29 |
| JordanOR | Each time I click 'unmount' a new window springs up listing the content of '131.6MB media', is it automatically remounting it? Even after doing that it brings the same error up. | 01:29 |

| lopin | Does anyone have any clue about my connectivity problems in certain applications? | 01:30 |
| wols_ | Mr_Sonoma: convert to mpeg2 first | 01:30 |
| Flannel | !doesntwork | lopin | 01:30 |
| ubottu | lopin: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 01:30 |
| ripps | Mecha25: It switches between low and hi, but does seem to be more consistently powered in windows, how do I increase the power usage of the wifi? | 01:30 |
| ich | wols_, a what? oh... i guess google... | 01:30 |
| wols_ | lopin: not until you state your problem | 01:30 |
| wols_ | ich: sorry that was for itachi | 01:30 |
| temoto | aha i missed word 'inet' | 01:30 |
| Mr_Sonoma | wols_, and the best program for that would be? | 01:30 |
| Mecha25 | ripps: it's not that. I don't know how to fix it, RF interference is caused by both devices using radio waves and interfering with each other | 01:30 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: I got the first part figured out. | 01:30 |
| wols_ | Mr_Sonoma: mencoder, ffmpeg I guess | 01:30 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: Now the next part. | 01:30 |
| ich | wols_, oh ok :D | 01:31 |
| ich | wols_, long live the >tab< button eh? | 01:31 |
| ripps | The strange thing is that wifi and bluetooth were working together when I first started using, but now they suddenly interfere with each other. | 01:31 |
| Bhavesh | !help | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 01:31 |
| lopin | Flannel, wols_ I did. Certain applications can't make connections. Everything just times out. Firefox 3.0.1, Foxmarks, Pidgin (On certain networks), Seamonkey, Midori, Secondlife, Opera, VMware Server, Azureus. Disabling IPv6 in Firefox helped, but it's still buggy. | 01:32 |
| Bhavesh | can you still download 7.10 ? | 01:32 |
| ich | wols_, i dont find this stupid readme... doh... but i dont think this is a "common" problem... | 01:32 |
| lopin | Flannel wols_ Also, no AJAX is working in Firefox 3.0.1. | 01:33 |
| Flannel | Bhavesh: yes, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ | 01:33 |
| Flannel | lopin: "ajax" is just regular internet traffic, so if firefox can't connect, that's the root of that. | 01:33 |
| Whiz2 | lopin: I did some research (just a little snooping around) and decided I'll just stick with Kubuntu since KDE is the interface I'm familiar with... besides... they revamped it since the last release I used which was Kubuntu 6.06 LTS | 01:33 |
| ripps | Mecha25: could changing the channel on my Wifi router help? | 01:33 |
| jahnkeanater | who ever helped me before i think i fixed the problem pirmently | 01:33 |
| jahnkeanater | with compiz | 01:33 |
| lopin | Whiz2, Sounds good to me... ^.^ | 01:33 |
| itachi | it really dont say anything -.- | 01:33 |
| cskmax | whiz2: I recommend the mainline gnome-based distro | 01:33 |
| jahnkeanater | in window dicorations | 01:34 |
| Whiz2 | cskmax: I know jack about gnome | 01:34 |
| Mecha25 | ripps: probably, if it's interference that's causing it | 01:34 |
| cskmax | whiz2: if you're brave, kde 4.1 is near usable :) | 01:34 |
| jahnkeanater | reset the comand to default | 01:34 |
| WDC | Okay, serious problem. | 01:34 |
| Scunizi | Whiz2: you can have both at the same time.. at this point you'll find Gnome more stable than the new KDE interface. | 01:34 |
| cskmax | whiz2: kubuntu probably your cup of tea then | 01:34 |
| lopin | Flannel. Some things are working. Some web pages don't like AJAX. I've heard that Mozilla completely redid the way that Firefox 3.0.1 handles AJAX for security reasons, and things stopped working on a lot of sites. So, that one's somewhat explained... | 01:34 |
| cskmax | what Scunizi said. | 01:35 |
| WDC | When starting Ubuntu it says that the disk is Read-Only | 01:35 |
| cskmax | Incidentally the answer to my compiz question was the "reflections" plugin | 01:35 |
| WDC | and it ALWAYS checks sda1 for some reason, and I cannot boot into the GUI just the command line | 01:35 |
| Whiz2 | cskmax: 4.0 is the version I see talked about on the website. Do you recommend starting with Kubuntu (KDE) then installing gnome as a trial run to see which i like better? | 01:35 |
| aguitel | i can't activate important security updates (hardy-securuty) from software sources ,anyone know how fix it ? | 01:36 |
| Whiz2 | Scunizi: more stable maybe, but which is easier to actually use? | 01:36 |
| ich | wols_, could this be a resource problem? PCI IRQ? | 01:37 |
| Scunizi | Whiz2: won't matter which you install first.. when you change "sessions" on the password screen it will ask which you want as a default and use the underlying system. Gnome I find easier... :) | 01:37 |
| cskmax | whiz2: I don't recommend using kde 4.0 at all, it's got a lot of serious usability features lacking. 4.1 is in Intrepid, but then you are dealing with pre release quality packages. I would recommend installing the basic Gnome based Ubuntu, then the kubuntu-desktop metapackage after the fact | 01:37 |
| gitcheegumeeflye | hi I just installed 8.04.1 and I need help getting my "alltel kpc680" aircard to work. I have the driver installation disc, but it is for windows (i think) how can I get it to run? | 01:37 |
| cskmax | whiz2: at that point you can use either the stable Gnome, or the exciting kde 4.0 by choosing on the gdm screen. they coexist happily | 01:37 |
| Scunizi | cskmax: Whiz2 isn't the KDE 3.x.x interface still in the repos? | 01:37 |
| Mecha25 | Anybody know about Ubuntu's USB backend and why it completely cuts out on me whenever I do intensive reads from any USB device? | 01:37 |
| ani1 | Mecha25, are you using a usb hub? | 01:38 |
| Flannel | cskmax, Whiz2, Scunizi: yes, kde3.5 is the default Kubuntu interface still. | 01:38 |
| cskmax | flannel: thanks for clarification, whiz2 probably wants the kubuntu installer to begin with and for all time then :) | 01:38 |
| ForsakenSoul | hey guys what would -d extract files into exdir mean ? | 01:38 |
| ForsakenSoul | the dir I want ? | 01:38 |
| Whiz2 | Scunizi: i have no idea. i have been using an old version of KDE on my server. i have yet to install anything newer on any machine until today... I'm going to dual boot XP and ubuntu on this machine and go with a server (or commandline) install on my server | 01:39 |
| Scunizi | Whiz2: if you like KDE stick with the 3.5 version for stability .. load it up after installing Hardy Gnome :) If you currently have server installed with a gui just uninstall the gui and it will be command line.. | 01:39 |
| tyg13 | I'm planning on making a server computer, what version of ubuntu should I use? (Xubuntu, etc..) | 01:39 |
| danhs | How can I convert a printer filter into a ppd? | 01:40 |
| Flannel | tyg13: Don't use a GUI at all. | 01:40 |
| ani1 | tyg13, use server edition | 01:40 |
| WDC | "Could not start the X" WHAT!!? | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | tyg13: use "Server".. if you want a gui after that install one. | 01:40 |
| danhs | seems like in /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer I have all the drivers I need | 01:40 |
| tyg13 | k | 01:40 |
| Flannel | tyg13: Use the alternate CD (of whatever version) and install a GUI-less install | 01:40 |
| sub-esc | for vim config files, does the .vimrc file in a home directory still pull in the settings? | 01:40 |
| danhs | Brother-PT-1950.xml however, I can't use it in the cups admin tool | 01:40 |
| ich | wols_, doh, good that i have a sli board... i switch the pci slot and see if this solve my problem... brb | 01:40 |
| Whiz2 | Scunizi: I need to wipe the server and start over. it has been crashing badly for the last month or so, and I dunno what the cause is | 01:40 |
| danhs | I think it needs to be converted to a ppd file | 01:40 |
| ani1 | Flannel, tyg13 its headless install =) | 01:40 |
| Fevrin | Saladin: So sorry for this tardy reply :( I stepped out for a bit. Thank you for your time; I too searched Google with many different search terms, but came out empty-handed as well. For now, I guess I'll have to settle with using Windows for this task. | 01:40 |
| tyg13 | it'll be a terminal basically? | 01:41 |
| WDC | can someone help me? I am getting "Could not start X" | 01:41 |
| tyg13 | that takes up the entire screen? | 01:41 |
| ani1 | tyg13, exactly with apache sql etc already loaded | 01:41 |
| cskmax | whiz2: for the server you can use Ubuntu Server 8.04 which lacks any desktop GUI at all by default | 01:41 |
| tyg13 | seriously? | 01:41 |
| ani1 | tyg13, usually you will ssh or terminal in to it via TTY | 01:41 |
| blbrown | I upgraded ubuntu (to Heron) a while back. Now VIM is not picking up my vim settings. Anyone face this issue | 01:41 |
| Mr_Sonoma | alright mencoder gives me a format not supported error. if i can ply the file i should be able to convert it right? | 01:41 |
| khro | question: right click is not working anymore for my mouse(because of the mouse itself)...so how i can possibly perform right click?(on ubuntu generally) | 01:41 |
| Whiz2 | cskmax: doesn't the alternate CD have that option? | 01:41 |
| Flannel | Whiz2: it does. | 01:41 |
| cskmax | 8.04 is the long term support version, good for your system. and yes you could put a gui on by option | 01:42 |
| WDC | Can someone PLEASE help me, I cannot start x | 01:42 |
| Whiz2 | Flannel: thanks | 01:42 |
| aguitel | i can't activate important security updates (hardy-security) from software sources ,anyone know how fix it ? | 01:42 |
| gitcheegumeeflye | hi I just installed 8.04.1 and I need help getting my "alltel kpc680" aircard to work. I have the driver installation disc, but it is for windows (i think) how can I get it to run? | 01:42 |
| ani1 | tyg13, you want to pull performance out of it which is the whole reason for running a server. I run apache from my normal box and an IRC server and it does have Gnome installed but its not a prod machine | 01:42 |
| Mecha25 | ani1: not for the error causing devices, no | 01:42 |
| Flannel | blbrown: install the "vim" package | 01:42 |
| WDC | Okay, to be more specific, my disk is read only, how can I make it not? I only have CLI | 01:43 |
| ani1 | Mecha25, ah, just curious when i use my ipod with a hub and i do file x'fers over 500Mb it fails via usb hub | 01:43 |
| tyg13 | one question though, should I buy a high performance machine? Its only for a small website that might run a forum | 01:43 |
| blbrown | Flannel, I have it, but the old settings are screwed up | 01:43 |
| Flannel | blbrown: you've installed vim? its not default | 01:43 |
| ani1 | tyg13, I wouldnt | 01:43 |
| blbrown | Flannel, yes | 01:43 |
| droopsta915 | i have a folder on my desktop, how can i move it to my home folder | 01:44 |
| tyg13 | what should I get? A standard computer? | 01:44 |
| Whiz2 | cskmax: when installing the version from ubutu.com (hardy) that is the gnome version if I'm not mistaken? | 01:44 |
| Flannel | tyg13: Do you already have a computer you're planning on using? | 01:44 |
| blbrown | Flannel, I really just want this setting. ":syntax on ... ~/.vimrc | 01:44 |
| bastid_raZor | droopsta915; cd ~/Desktop mv folder ~/ | 01:44 |
| Flannel | blbrown: No leading colon | 01:44 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: I'm still here, I've got customers so I'll be in and out, but I'm here. | 01:44 |
| tyg13 | Flannel: No but I have about 200 dollars budget | 01:45 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: I'm still crackin' on it, will be finished soon. | 01:45 |
| bastid_raZor | droopsta915; two seperate commands | 01:45 |
| tyg13 | Flannel: Which I know wont get much | 01:45 |
| blbrown | Flannel, weird | 01:45 |
| Flannel | tyg13: What are you going to use this server for | 01:45 |
| WDC | What's the best file structure to use when installing Ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| tyg13 | Flannel: I'm going to run a small Joomla site with Simple Machines Forum that might have a twenty people on at one time | 01:46 |
| Flannel | WDC: ext3 usually | 01:46 |
| Whiz2 | wdc: ext3 | 01:46 |
| ani1 | WDC, depends on your needs but Flannel is right for normal use | 01:46 |
| tyg13 | WDC: Ext3 | 01:46 |
| WDC | Call thanks, now can any one of you all help me make my hard drive NOT read-only? | 01:46 |
| tyg13 | WDC: Although older versions of linux or obscure ones may use Ext2 | 01:46 |
| ani1 | reiser is good for small chunk files from what i've heard | 01:47 |
| Flannel | tyg13: Well, if you feel like you do need a separate computer (because you turn your desktop off at times, etc), just buy something small... you can probably get a small form factor something or other. It'll work fine with an old processor too, no need to buy some top of the line one. | 01:47 |
| tyg13 | Flannel: What could get me a decent box for a small server? Like 400 bucks? | 01:48 |
| Flannel | tyg13: but, if you don't (turn your computer off at night, etc), you can run it on your home desktop just as easily. There's really no distinction made by linux betwen "desktop" and "server" | 01:48 |
| Flannel | tyg13: I have no idea. That particular question might be better off in #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:48 |
| droopsta915 | bastid_razor: thanx, i shulda known the rm command, lol. i added the sudo in front of the command it worked fine thanx again | 01:49 |
| tyg13 | Flannel: I have a laptop that I have to travel with, therefore I would rather setup a desktop server | 01:49 |
| Flannel | tyg13: Ah, yeah. That'd be a good reasn then. | 01:49 |
| ShdwShinobi | Hi, I can only get a screen resolution of 640x480 while using a 8600GT. How can I get to my normal resolution of 1680x1050? | 01:50 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, did you get the drivers for it? the restricted drivers? | 01:50 |
| Terralthra | you're using the restricted drivers? | 01:50 |
| ShdwShinobi | I tried the restricted drivers, but it did this | 01:50 |
| ShdwShinobi | then i uninstalled those and tried Envy | 01:50 |
| ShdwShinobi | and it's the same thing | 01:50 |
| * danopia_ is using a 8600 GTS and it was very simple to set up dual screens and such | 01:50 | |
| danopia_ | i never had that problem so i can't help, sorry | 01:51 |
| * ShdwShinobi wishes he had danopia_'s luck | 01:51 | |
| bastid_raZor | ShdwShinobi; once you had the drivers installed by the restricted drivers manager all you have to do is run sudo nvidia-settings and configure the screen from there | 01:51 |
| djhash | ShdwShinobi: i wont be able to be much help.. but did you try to reconfigure xorg? | 01:51 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: Are you sure the nvidia drivers are being used? If the install is not done properly then the "vesa" driver may be in use | 01:51 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, but when i booted xubuntu it prompted me to get restricted drivers | 01:52 |
| danopia_ | then after that i rebooted and got nvidia-config | 01:52 |
| ShdwShinobi | ushimitsudoki1, it says I have direct rendering... | 01:52 |
| DefiantRican_ | Can someone assist me with installing my dell drivers for my wireless card | 01:52 |
| danopia_ | i think it's nvidia-config | 01:52 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: have you tried running nvidia-settings when in X? | 01:52 |
| bastid_raZor | danopia; nvidia-xconfig | 01:52 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, mine's nvidia-settings | 01:53 |
| ShdwShinobi | yeah, it wont let me go above 640x480 | 01:53 |
| danopia_ | i just ran it | 01:53 |
| Mecha25 | Anybody know about Ubuntu's USB backend and why it completely cuts out on me whenever I do intensive reads from any USB device? | 01:53 |
| ShdwShinobi | i'm going to uninstall envy and try the restricted driver's again | 01:53 |
| elliot | anyone happen to know what provides the PATH for non login shells in unbuntu? | 01:53 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: in the "X Server Information" section of the nvidia-settings dialog, what does the NVIDIA driver version say? | 01:53 |
| ShdwShinobi | ushimitsudoki1, 173.14.12 | 01:54 |
| danopia_ | i have 169.12 and i used the apt-get ones | 01:54 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | In the "X Server Display Configuration" under "X Screen", what are the listed MetaMode | 01:54 |
| ShdwShinobi | hm ok | 01:55 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: You may have to "click" on the first button to see a list | 01:55 |
| ripps | Mecha25: I don't think that the bluetooth is causing interference with the wifi. I used terminal to ping google.com, and there was virually no difference between the ping times before and after I put the bluetooth in. But when I try to open a page in a browser, I get nothing. There has to be software protocal error going on. | 01:55 |
| djhash | ripps: it could be a browser issue.. did you try re-installing the browser? | 01:56 |
| ShdwShinobi | ushimitsudoki1, like 16.7 million colors depth 24? | 01:56 |
| ShdwShinobi | nevermind | 01:56 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, to see metamode you have to click Advanced then open the X Screen tab below the monitor thing | 01:56 |
| danopia_ | for me at least ;P | 01:56 |
| ripps | djhah: it's not just my browser, pidgin stalls as well | 01:56 |

| Dusk_ | hello there...i'm trying to telnet my motorola ROKR E2 telephone in ubuntu as described here (http://www.aktaeon.com/2007/12/31/telnet-ing-to-e2-from-linux/) but get an error..does anyone have telnet experience on ubuntu 8.04?? | 01:57 |
| ShdwShinobi | ushimitsudoki1, 1 - "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +640+0, DFP: 640x480 +0+0" | 01:57 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: No. It should be something like 800x600 and so forth. Yes, you might need to click "advanced" srry | 01:57 |
| ripps | djhash: it's not just my browser, pidgin stalls as well | 01:57 |
| Mecha25 | ripps: not sure, I don't use bluetooth myself, I actually uninstalled it | 01:57 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: well there you go - you need to add some more metamodes to support the higher resolution | 01:57 |
| ich | wols_, no luck... | 01:57 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: one time i lost mine and had to add them - it is not hard | 01:57 |
| danopia_ | my res is nvidia-auto-select | 01:57 |
| djhash | oh..ok.. then networking stuff is over my head.. sorry.. | 01:57 |
| Totakeke | Has anyone had any experience with installing Linux to a flash drive with "UNetBootin?" | 01:58 |
| ShdwShinobi | ushimitsudoki1 when I click add... it adds the same meta mode and I don't see how to edit it | 01:58 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root with whatever text editor you like | 01:58 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: you are looking for the "metamodes" Option under the "Screen" section | 01:58 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | ShdwShinobi: pay attention to the existing syntax | 01:59 |
| Dusk_ | hello there...i'm trying to telnet my motorola ROKR E2 telephone in ubuntu as described here (http://www.aktaeon.com/2007/12/31/telnet-ing-to-e2-from-linux/) but get an error..does anyone have telnet experience on ubuntu 8.04?? | 01:59 |
| danopia_ | telneting into a phone? | 02:00 |
| * danopia_ re-reads that line | 02:00 | |

| user01 | anto9us, thats a huge tease to have it listed as a network in the install then | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | user01, its proberly supported then. You may have to insall some extra packages/tools. | 02:36 |
| the_darkside_986 | I had to search for raw inf and sys files because of the dumb exe installer. Luckily I was able to find even a 64-bit raw windows driver file for it. But the performance is crap compared to my D-Link Atheros-based card. | 02:36 |
| patifa | Ok, any tips on modifying the windows registry (on my NTFS partition) from ubuntu? | 02:36 |
| pcfreak30 | that when i clickit moves to the other part of the program so i cant do anything hardly | 02:36 |

| itachi | i cant install ubuntu it says: invalid cd detected | 02:36 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: It's not much code, but I had to look a bunch of stuff up. | 02:36 |
| anto9us | user01, it works fine in linux, you have to use the windows drivers though | 02:36 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: Ah. | 02:37 |
| pcfreak30 | prob burn the iso wrong or something | 02:37 |
| pcfreak30 | or bad download | 02:37 |
| WDC | Hey how big is the 8.04 i386 image? Less than or more than 700mB? | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | patifa, i saw a trick Ages ago about using wine, to run a regedit tool on a existong windows install.. wich was sort of scary. | 02:37 |
| pcfreak30 | need to try again | 02:37 |
| user01 | anto9us, no ndiswrapper? | 02:37 |
| itachi | i cant install ubuntu it says: invalid cd detected | 02:37 |
| pcfreak30 | prob checksum didnt add up | 02:37 |
| anto9us | user01, with ndiswrapper | 02:37 |
| cskmax | ok mdg | 02:37 |
| bastid_raZor | WDC; 698MB | 02:37 |
| user01 | anto9us, d'oh | 02:37 |
| mdg | itachi: how did you burn your cd? | 02:37 |
| WDC | bastid_raZor: I am helping someone who sez it is 711? | 02:37 |
| cskmax | mdg: right click the System menu, "Edit menu", then a new window comes up, you can add menu items, add System> Preferences> File Management | 02:37 |
| itachi | i didnt i have it in a usb flash driver | 02:38 |
| pcfreak30 | i used power iso | 02:38 |
| cskmax | mdg: then you can use the rarely-changed File Management settings | 02:38 |
| bastid_raZor | WDC; look on ubuntu.com .. it will tell you the exact size | 02:38 |
| mdg | thanks cskmax - I'm on it :) | 02:38 |
| Bossmanbeta | When I try to mount a an encrypted USB thumb drive (lukeFormat) I get a graphical interface to mount the encrypted partition into /dev/mapper. However I need to mount this volume from cmd line (not through a gui). so when I try to mount it myself (sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdh /home/user/enc) I get this error: Command failed: dm_task_set_name: Device /home/user/enc not found -- but the directory exists! | 02:38 |
| itachi | i cant install ubuntu it says: invalid cd detected | 02:38 |
| cskmax | mdg: media tab in File Management has what you want | 02:38 |
| patifa | dr_willis: Ahh. I think regedit can target non-default hives. | 02:38 |
| Saladin | itachi, at which point does it say that? | 02:38 |
| pcfreak30 | make sure that the checksums add up | 02:38 |
| bastid_raZor | WDC; or here :: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ | 02:38 |

| levander | Every now and then, sound just stops working on my system. Sometimes if I play with the volume control, something pops and it starts working again. Is there some daemon or something I can restart to see if the problem is just something crashed? | 02:39 |
| itachi | i just click the aplication to install it | 02:39 |

| the_darkside_986 | just what i needed, thanks ubottu | 02:40 |
| Bossmanbeta | Dr_willis, the device isn't mounted ........ /dev/sdh1 isn't there (I don't think?) | 02:40 |
| bastid_raZor | WDC; for the i386 iso it is 694MB | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | pcfreak30, sounds liek the refrresh rate may be wrong.. but im only guessing. | 02:40 |
| pcfreak30 | its at max | 02:40 |
| WDC | bastid_raZor: Cool thanks | 02:40 |
| Bossmanbeta | Dr_willis, when i try it with /dev/sdh1 I get "Command failed: Can't get device information." (I dont think it exists) | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | Bossmanbeta, check with 'sudo fdisk -l' and see whats there I guess. normally /dev/sdh would be like a cdrom drive. a fileysstem is normally on /dev/sdh# | 02:41 |

| ak-49 | could someone maybe offer some insight as to why flash videos are very choppy on my system? divx and mpgs look fine. | 02:41 |
| pcfreak30 | thats what happens if i click anywhere in inkscape | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | Bossmanbeta, sdh may be totally wrong. but ive not used your specific tool. so i may be confused. | 02:41 |

| ak-49 | i could reboot my system and it would probably go away for 3/4 of the day | 02:42 |
| bastid_raZor | pcfreak30; from that screenshot your resolution is extremely small.. 800x600 at best. | 02:42 |
| Bossmanbeta | /dev/sdh is the device.. according to fdisk -l: Disk /dev/sdh: 1039 MB, 1039663104 bytes (1 gig thumb drive) | 02:42 |
| user01 | anto9us, are you sure? this says there is an open source driver: http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Laptops:IPW2200 | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | Bossmanbeta, try mounting someplace else perhaps like /media/test peraps. | 02:43 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: Oh ok, thanks. I appreciate all your work on this. | 02:43 |
| pcfreak30 | it is that | 02:43 |
| pcfreak30 | its 800x600 | 02:43 |
| Bossmanbeta | If I enter trhe password using the GUI, I can then from CMD line type: sudo mount /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_84f-a0-472f-977-f2dd5 /home/user/enc but I can't seem to get the first step going via CMD line | 02:43 |
| cskmax | ak-49, are you on the official flash plugin, the non-free one? | 02:43 |
| Bossmanbeta | ok | 02:43 |
| ak-49 | i believe i've tried both | 02:43 |
| ak-49 | i recently downloaded one from adobes site after having the issues | 02:43 |
| ak-49 | it was the tarball | 02:43 |
| bastid_raZor | pcfreak30; some applications will not resize smaller .. 800x600 is insanely small .. | 02:43 |
| anto9us | user01, try it, I recall resorting to ndiswrapper when I last configured one | 02:43 |
| ak-49 | i ran the install script | 02:43 |
| ak-49 | same results | 02:43 |

| user01 | anto9us, what is the ubuntu path for firmware? | 02:45 |
| itachi | how can i boot my comp from usb | 02:45 |
| Bossmanbeta | Dr_willis, that doesn't work, even if I "sudo mkdir /media/encrytped1" then try " sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdh /media/encrypted1" it still says "Command failed: dm_task_set_name: Device /media/encrypted1 not found' | 02:45 |

| cskmax | mralexandro: it will *probably* work, and probably be better than a source installation. | 02:49 |

| mulvane | Wait, no, I sold it...nm | 02:51 |

| user01 | is modprobe supposed to return value? | 02:55 |
| mralexandro | forgive me but i am all new to linux or most distros | 02:55 |

| Dr_willis | mralexandro, if it has the bug. you normally can hear the hd trying to spindown/click all the time. try the fix and see if it helps. I dont think its an issue now a days. and i think it was a overblown issue when it was an issue. | 02:55 |

| mralexandro | i have also tried to google how to fix my computer to detect usb external hardrive but could not understand it, is it to hard for me to configure? | 02:56 |
| cskmax | WDC: My ipod mounts automatically... check for it under /media | 02:56 |
| patifa | mralexandro, The problem is that in Ubuntu (along with other operating systems) can be overzealous about turning off the hard drive. So it rapidly spins up/down. Doing it properly extends battery life. Doing it improperly shortens hard drive lifetime. | 02:56 |
| patifa | mralexandro, apparently said balance is quite delicate. | 02:57 |

| cskmax | wdc: and finally, i use 'gtkpod' to manage its music, i find it better than rhythmbox for that | 02:57 |
| mralexandro | but longer life for hardrive? | 02:57 |

| mralexandro | alright. thank you guys, really apreciate it | 02:58 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: new and improved: it creates a folder called "DS Formatted" and puts the formatted files there, with their original filenames. | 02:58 |

| WDC | It's trying to connect with Firewire, but it's USB | 02:59 |
| patifa | Dr_willis, mralexandro: Well if you spin down a hard drive infrequently, you get a decent increase in battery life. However, repairing the 'bug' might merely extend the life of the hard drive, but not really improve battery time. | 02:59 |
| cskmax | wdc: gtkpod has automagically recognized my ipod on a clean hardy install | 02:59 |
| m1r | cskmax: why move files if i want symlink ? | 02:59 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: So it will make mystory.txt in the new folder instead of mystory.txt.fds in the original folder? Is that right? | 02:59 |
| WDC | cskmax: Error initialising iPod: Couldn't find the iPod firewire ID | 03:00 |
| cskmax | m1r: 'sudo ln -s [target] [link]' | 03:00 |
| WDC | cskmax: should I reinstall? | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | patifa, right thats what hes saying.. 'disable power savings on hd = uses more battery power' | 03:00 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: Correct. It will leave the original mystory.txt alone, putting the DS-formatted version in DS Formatted/mystory.txt | 03:00 |
| cskmax | wdc: probably not over that ;) i'd google the error and go from there, i have no experience with that issue | 03:00 |

| cskmax | m1r: you can't make a symlink if a directory already exists with that name; and what you are describing is not really good practice for Apache | 03:01 |

| anto9us | user01, you should download the windows driver and use that with ndiswrapper | 03:04 |
| bastid_raZor | droopsta915; sudo rm -Rf directory | 03:04 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: Just use the second script instead of the first one. | 03:04 |
| user01 | anto9us, isnt that a cop out? :) | 03:04 |
| Gnea | for mp3 players and usb flash drives, i just plug it in. nautilus will, if it's detected correctly, popup a window showing you the contents. | 03:04 |
| Sanketsu | RyanPrior: Oh, ok. | 03:04 |
| user01 | anto9us, and how do i make sure it doesnt interfere with the opensource driver? | 03:04 |

| anto9us | user01, you wouldn't use the opensource driver with ndiswrapper | 03:05 |

| Gnea | WDC: can't say i've ever used gtkpod (i don't own an ipod), but if you're not using firewire... and it can't find a firewire id... then i don't think there's a problem | 03:09 |

| WDC | even though I tell it to look at /media/WD (the iPod mount) | 03:10 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, it did for me.... | 03:10 |

| mdg | rnAll my samsung does is charge - no programs opened, nothing | 03:10 |

| deepak | i have wget installed on ubuntu, i need to find out where it is installed and what library files it contains, how can i do that ? | 03:11 |
| pcfreak30 | it is prob in /usr/bin/wget | 03:11 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: if I were prettying it up for public release, I'd make it spit pretty error messages when you do something wrong, but I skipped that stuff for now. ;-) | 03:11 |
| pcfreak30 | but the librarys google it | 03:11 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | deepak: dpkg -L wget | 03:11 |
| deepak | and where is it installed ? | 03:11 |
| pcfreak30 | or just use sys pkg man | 03:12 |
| pcfreak30 | find it | 03:12 |
| pcfreak30 | right clickproperties | 03:12 |
| pcfreak30 | and it will show u | 03:12 |

| Gnea | deepak: why do you need to see what libraries it uses? | 03:13 |
| ShdwShinobi | danopia_, same one... just a fresh harddrive (one without all my data, settings, etc) | 03:13 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, no i mean for IRC | 03:13 |

| thurston | how do i set them to be the same? | 03:14 |
| ShdwShinobi | interesting... | 03:14 |
| user01 | user01, how do i blacklist the ipw2200 driver then if i use ndiswrapper? | 03:14 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, ? | 03:14 |
| ShdwShinobi | danopia_, good and bad... good, it's using the full resolution, bad... it's only displaying 640x480 of it | 03:14 |
| ShdwShinobi | so i can't see anything but the upper left of the ubuntu logo on the login screen | 03:14 |
| patifa | mralexandro, that'd be the simplest method. There's probably some crazy terminal commands we could type to restart the parts of the system to engage your fix, but it's probably easier to restart the whole thing :P | 03:14 |
| danopia_ | k well when it boots get the config thing | 03:14 |
| user01 | i need to blacklist the driver first right> | 03:14 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, oh | 03:15 |
| jmichelsen_ | is there a place in Xubuntu/Ubuntu to set "xset -dpms" at startup? | 03:15 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, yea that's bad | 03:15 |
| glad_work | hey - how do you manage what video driver you want to use with 8.04? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't do it anymore | 03:15 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, you can drop to a prompt and edit the config file to lower the res | 03:15 |
| ShdwShinobi | ok, danopia_, just logged in... and it's displaying it all but 640x480 | 03:15 |

| histo | m1r: what are you trying to do? | 03:17 |
| _spm_Draget | should I use apt-get or aptitude? | 03:17 |
| m1r | histo: make symlink from my docs folder to www root | 03:17 |
| histo | _spm_Draget: aptitude | 03:17 |

| ubottu | _spm_Draget: 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. | 03:17 |

| m1r | histo: /home/user/public_html /var/www ; creates /var/www/public_html , do you understand problem ? | 03:18 |
| user01 | is /etc/hotplug/blacklist still used? | 03:18 |
| RyanPrior | Devourer: Are these Ubuntu machines, Windows machines, or other? | 03:18 |
| Sanketsu | 12.3 MB of .txt files... How long should it take to go though all of them RyanPrior? Just a ballpark? | 03:18 |
| histo | zachb: what do you mean? | 03:18 |
| Devourer | RyanPrior, they are Windows machines. | 03:18 |
| zachb | I type `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` and it starts installing all those packages... | 03:18 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: no clue. :-) | 03:18 |
| histo | m1r: so you would go to www.m1r.com/public_html | 03:18 |
| Sanketsu | Okies *^_^* | 03:18 |
| m1r | histo corect | 03:19 |
| RyanPrior | Devourer: Places -> Network should find them. Otherwise... ask in ##windows ? | 03:19 |
| zachb | it lists easily over a hundred to install, 1967MB of space... | 03:19 |
| m1r | histo: i want go localhost/ , not localhost/public_html | 03:19 |
| Devourer | RyanPrior, how can I find their IP? | 03:19 |
| histo | m1r: ahhh. Well you need to change your document root then. Or create a symlink in you Documents to /var/www that you have access to. Then you can just write files there and it will place them in /var/www | 03:20 |
| RyanPrior | Devourer: I don't know - keep asking though, somebody probably does. | 03:20 |

| rocky | hm, i'm looking around for a socks client cmd-line tool (like tsocks) that will allow me to provide the socks server on a per cmd basis ... does something like that exist? | 03:25 |
| histo | !gksu | Saladin | 03:25 |
| ubottu | Saladin: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:25 |
| Whiz_2 | on my server install (alternate) CD i started the installation, and during install it says that no common CD-ROM drive was detected... but it's booted the install from CD... what sense does that make? | 03:25 |

| m1r | histo , RyanPrior , Saladin , i just want symlink from user folder to var/www, so user can edit his files in his folder without worry for any permisions or problems | 03:25 |
| RyanPrior | Saladin: A) you should use gksudo for graphical apps, B) Nautilus as root?! | 03:26 |
| Saladin | RyanPrior: I did it for changing the sudoers file. | 03:26 |
| histo | m1r: You are still going to run in to permission problems you are trying to edit something outside of the users home. | 03:26 |
| mralexandro | when i try to mount my external harddrive i get an error message saying "unable to mount the volume "My Book" | 03:26 |

| m1r | histo: i shouldnt have problems as iit is symlink ? no ? | 03:26 |
| RyanPrior | Sanketsu: that sucks. Is there a particularly large file that it's hanging on, perhaps? | 03:26 |
| bastid_raZor | mralexandro; don't use a space in the mountpoint | 03:27 |

| ubottu | Saladin: 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/ | 03:27 |

| _spm_Draget | Is it normal that I always get the warning that all my packages I install are untrusty versions? | 03:28 |
| Saladin | Sorry RyanPrior; was the advice I was given | 03:28 |
| linuxfce | A program I'm trying to install requires GTK+-2.14, there is no GTK+-2.14!!! | 03:28 |

| mooms | mralexandro:can you se it when you run sudo fdisk -l ? | 03:28 |

| pragmaticpie | When I press the "Change device..." button under the voice tab of settings, all I get is a dialog box saying that the Windows audio control panel is is now open. | 03:39 |

| pcfreak30 | uh | 03:43 |

| dumples | does anyone know a good windows channel or would mind helping me even though its unrelated? | 03:45 |
| kitche | amenado: kinda off topic but looks just like a supped up power over ethernet sorta | 03:45 |
| kitche | dumples: ##windows | 03:45 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: That's why it's a good idea to put a name in front of what you're saying so people know who you are talking to (like i did) | 03:45 |
| dumples | thanks | 03:46 |
| jambooda | does anyone know how to install a package without some of its dependencies | 03:46 |
| mavsman4457 | dumples you can ask here and go there too | 03:46 |
| amenado | kitche am ready to be beamed up..skotty :P | 03:46 |
| jigp | pcfreak30 yes but after 30 minutes it will gone...how to see the icons in my desktop?when i plug my usb flash drive before it will show the icon in desktop.now there is no icon anymore....done with alt f2 compiz and metacity but same thing.... | 03:46 |
| jambooda | i want to install openoffice base but it wants to install some java stuff | 03:46 |
| jambooda | i already have my own version of java installed that I odn't wnat to overwrite | 03:46 |
| mavsman4457 | jambooda install the dependecies first? | 03:46 |
| Whiz_2 | jambooda: when you install a package, it normally installs the dependancies with it automatically as far as I know | 03:46 |
| mralexandro | pcfreak30: ah ok thanks:) so i go in windows and disable usb hardrive in advanced settings under my computer or something then? | 03:46 |
| ShdwShinobi | danopia_ any luck? | 03:46 |
| dumples | Ok, would I be able to use an old sony vaio's install discs to reinstall windows xp on my compaq presario? | 03:46 |
| kitche | amenado: go to #ubuntu-offtopic and we can talk there about it | 03:46 |
| jambooda | the problem is I dno't want the dependencies at all | 03:46 |
| jambooda | only some of them | 03:47 |
| danopia_ | hi ShdwShinobi, no i can't find it | 03:47 |
| jambooda | not all | 03:47 |
| danopia_ | but i saw it before | 03:47 |
| Terralthra | anyone free to help with the TI 1620 sd card reader? | 03:47 |
| amenado | kitche nah, one lil comment i had thats it.. | 03:47 |
| pcfreak30 | mralexandro: yea, but if u dont have windows.then i feel sry 4 u | 03:47 |
| pcfreak30 | lol | 03:47 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, switch the outputs on the card? :P | 03:47 |
| mavsman4457 | jambooda why not? there is no problem in having them | 03:47 |
| jambooda | can i select which dependencies to isntall and which to leave off | 03:47 |
| Whiz_2 | jambooda: if the package you want is dependant on those other packages, I don't think you will be able to install it without them | 03:47 |
| mralexandro | pcfreak30 i do have windows | 03:47 |
| pcfreak30 | jambooda: not really | 03:47 |
| os2mac | anyone got any info on how to get an open source ID certificate? | 03:47 |
| jambooda | well when it installed it puts its version of java ahead of theone I already have installed | 03:47 |
| pcfreak30 | dont know any way to trick the manager | 03:47 |
| croddy | Whiz_2, there is a way, actually, but it breaks more than it fixes | 03:47 |
| ShdwShinobi | danopia_, if it doesn't recognize the monitor... what good will it do? | 03:48 |
| ShdwShinobi | but i'll try it | 03:48 |
| adakos | howdy folks. I was wondering how I would go about setting up another network interface ( i have 3 NIC's installed, autoconfig took care of 1 during setup, how do I go about enabling the other 2 so i can use the server as a DHCP host/ firewall) | 03:48 |
| pcfreak30 | even if u could u would prob mess up the package and it would not run | 03:48 |
| Whiz_2 | croddy: then it's not recommended | 03:48 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, see if it recognizes it in the other plug | 03:48 |
| croddy | agreed | 03:48 |
| m1r | histo , Saladin , RyanPrior , many many tnx for your help guys i got almost where i wanted with your help, it is working now. | 03:48 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, are you using dual x displays or twinview | 03:48 |
| ShdwShinobi | twinview | 03:49 |
| pcfreak30 | mralexandro: just saying/joking | 03:49 |
| Whiz_2 | if ubuntu server won't detect the CD-ROM that it is installing from (odd i know) would it make sense to tell it to use /dev/cdrom or whatever the default usually is? | 03:49 |
| ShdwShinobi | bad idea switching | 03:49 |
| IsleVega1 | my friend just got an ASUS M51TA-X2 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 and when trying to boot the Ubuntu 8.04 cd he has no success with any of the options on the CD, such as safe graphics mode, try ubuntu without changing your computer, etc. Even the check CD for problems didn't work. They appear to start and then the video goes blank and nothing happens even after a long while. | 03:49 |
| danopia_ | ShdwShinobi, me too | 03:49 |
| marco-- | I'm trying to install build essential on a laptop that doesn't have access to the internet. I've tried apt-get from the ubuntu CD, without sucess. Is there a way other than downloading all the build-essencial dependencies separetly? | 03:49 |

| vasilisa | When i make install something, the headers go in usr/include... but where do things like the configuration files go? | 03:49 |
| Qster | deepak: i think its just simple ./program.run | 03:49 |
| pcfreak30 | mralexandro: no prob | 03:50 |
| adakos | vasilia : usually configs are under /etc/program_name/ | 03:50 |
| vasilisa | adakos: thanks :) | 03:50 |
| pcfreak30 | i just wish my issue could be solved | 03:50 |
| deepak | i dont understand. | 03:50 |
| adakos | vasilia: dont thank me yet, i could be wrong! :) | 03:50 |
| anto9us | jambooda, cross that bridge "if" you come to it, I don't think you will, you can have several java versions installed | 03:50 |
| IsleVega1 | it's a new model, and brand new computer - he bought it here, specs are listed - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220349 | 03:50 |

| IdleOne | !hardware | shiloh7 take a look at the follwing link and see if your harware is supported | 03:53 |
| ubottu | shiloh7 take a look at the follwing link and see if your harware is supported: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 03:53 |

| SGB | Anyone know how to fix my partitions mount point, I'm unable to access my windows drive it comes up with "mount_point unable to contain following characters: new line, G_DIR_SEPERATOR" | 03:54 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: try using a scsi compatible kernal | 03:54 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: my previous installation of kubuntu 6.06 LTS had absolutely no problems with the CD drive | 03:54 |
| SinisterBen | adakos Add/remove locks up whenever I try to do anything | 03:54 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: why? it's an IDE device | 03:54 |
| adakos | SinisterBen: try doing the old-fasioned way with terminal and sudo apt-get --purge remove samba | 03:54 |
| pcfreak30 | wjiz_2: well the os doent know it | 03:54 |
| pcfreak30 | lol | 03:54 |
| SinisterBen | ok thanks | 03:54 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: it is a standard cd-rom drive double speed | 03:54 |
| etzerd | guys, since yesterday I tried all the distro out there to see which one reconize my IBM ThinkPad T42 Wireless none of them. That's when I said let me try ubuntu, bengo my wireless connection work fine under ubuntu. | 03:55 |
| shiloh7 | thank you very much :) | 03:55 |
| pcfreak30 | is it usb or built in | 03:55 |
| shiloh7 | i love this distro so much i want it on my work pc | 03:55 |
| shiloh7 | :-) | 03:55 |
| SGB | Anyone know how to fix my partitions mount point, I'm unable to access my windows drive it comes up with "mount_point unable to contain following characters: new line, G_DIR_SEPERATOR" | 03:55 |
| SGB | Anyone? | 03:55 |
| RyanPrior | etzerd: I'm glad it worked out! | 03:55 |
| etzerd | me to shiloh7 | 03:55 |
| adakos | SGB: I dont know if this will help, but try reinstalling NTFS-3g, or check to make sure there are no illegal charcters in the drive name | 03:56 |
| pcfreak30 | sgb, try deconnecting it from the usb list in windows,then try to use it in linux | 03:56 |
| pcfreak30 | but that might not be ur prob | 03:56 |
| pcfreak30 | cause u wernt clear enough 4 me | 03:57 |
| etzerd | RyanPrior, I tried them all. From Suse to Fedora, none of them work with the wireless that build in the laptop | 03:57 |
| RyanPrior | !u | pcfreak30 | 03:57 |
| ubottu | pcfreak30: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 03:57 |
| SGB | Its my actual HDD, when I try to load it up in ubuntu I get the unable to mount volume error... | 03:57 |
| Omar87 | How do I safely upgrade to Intrepid Ibex? | 03:57 |
| pcfreak30 | wbottu: well i am a bad typer | 03:57 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: could it be the fact that my BIOS sees it as an ATAPI CDROM device? | 03:58 |
| anto9us | Omar87, it isn't safe for use on production machines yet | 03:58 |
| electrofreak | can someone help me get standby and/or hibernation working on my system? I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on an abit AN8 nforce4 board. Could the software raid0 have anything to do with them not working?? | 03:58 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: good idea | 03:58 |
| pcfreak30 | check ur bios settings and make sure they are correct | 03:58 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: they are. | 03:58 |
| RyanPrior | etzerd: distros like Ubuntu, Mepis, and Knoppix work very hard for out-of-the-box hardware support, and though we've still got a long way to go, we're proud of the wide array of stuff that works without any extra fiddling. | 03:58 |
| Omar87 | anto9us, I'm not on a production machine, that's my own laptop... at home. | 03:58 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: uh, maby try doconnecting it physically boot up | 03:59 |
| pcfreak30 | thrn reconnect it? | 03:59 |
| pcfreak30 | not sure | 03:59 |
| pcfreak30 | just throwing stuff out | 03:59 |
| Terralthra | Speaking of out of the box working with hardware... | 03:59 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: now why would that make a difference? it boots from it | 03:59 |
| pcfreak30 | i dont know | 04:00 |
| anto9us | Omar87, my point is, it's not yet ready to be "safely upgraded" | 04:00 |
| pcfreak30 | judt trying to think | 04:00 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: maybe I should just try telling ubuntu it is /dev/cdrom? | 04:00 |
| adakos | omar87: Intrep. Ibex isn't ready for the public yet, it's still in testing phase | 04:00 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: that could work | 04:01 |
| RyanPrior | !intrepid | Omar87 | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Omar87: 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! | 04:01 |
| pcfreak30 | couldnt hurt | 04:01 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: this is a hd right | 04:01 |
| Omar87 | adakos, yeah, I know, but I did upgrade to Hardy Heron when it was Alpha 4. | 04:01 |
| jmichelsen_ | anyone know the modprobe command for a Airgo Networks Inc AGN100 card? | 04:02 |
| Whiz_2 | pcfreak30: no it's not a hard drive. it is a CD-ROM drive | 04:02 |
| Omar87 | adakos, and I'm thinking of doing the same with Intrepid Ibex. | 04:02 |
| Ben511 | Hi all, can anyone recommend a gigabit NIC which works without any tweaks at gigabit speed?!!! | 04:02 |
| RyanPrior | Omar87: Thank you for being a brave pioneer and alpha tester. However, once you upgrade, you shouldn't look in #ubuntu for support - #ubuntu+1 is your channel now, until October. | 04:02 |
| shiloh7 | etzerd, i was die hard fedora 8, that died on an update, critical kernel | 04:02 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: can u boot from a usb stick? | 04:03 |
| shiloh7 | loaded fed 9, same thing last week | 04:03 |
| Omar87 | RyanPrior, :-) | 04:03 |
| pcfreak30 | does ur bios support it | 04:03 |
| shiloh7 | this is a work of art :) | 04:03 |
| pcfreak30 | mine does | 04:03 |
| Omar87 | RyanPrior, I didn't upgrade yet, I'm just planning to do so. | 04:03 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: if you have a usb stick try that | 04:03 |
| linuxfce | I am desperately trying to disable, or change delay of, gnome tooltips | 04:03 |
| RyanPrior | Omar87: Ah. My comment is slightly premature then. :-) | 04:03 |

| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: wait | 04:05 |
| pcfreak30 | i have an idea | 04:05 |
| Whiz_2 | yes? | 04:05 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: does ubuntu support network install | 04:05 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a performance testing / bottleneck assessing suite for Ubuntu similar to Vista's "performance information" view? | 04:05 |
| pcfreak30 | like getting everything fromthe web | 04:05 |
| kitche | RyanPrior: yep | 04:05 |
| pyrak | is there a command to check the physical sanity of a hard drive, as opposed to just the sanity of a particular partition? | 04:05 |
| pyrak | <pyrak> meaning, i know this drive has give me trouble in the past. it seems to be working fine now. if i reformat it, can i start trusting it again? | 04:05 |
| pcfreak30 | i know debian does | 04:05 |
| magic_ninja | are there any good utilities out there (aside from dd) to move this 12 gb windows partition to my new hard drive? | 04:06 |

| magic_ninja | i want to basically copy the install over | 04:06 |
| pcfreak30 | whiz_2: if it does then run | 04:06 |
| pcfreak30 | a copyof it on cd | 04:06 |
| pcfreak30 | and it will download everything | 04:06 |
| ShdwShinobi | can someone help me acheive the proper screen resolution for one of my monitors on a 8600GT? | 04:06 |

| kitche | RyanPrior: sudo apt-get install hardinfo | 04:08 |
| DareDevil | kitche, are you talking with me? | 04:08 |
| anto9us | DareDevil, nmap will list computers, ports and services running on the network | 04:08 |
| pyrak | how can i check this external hard drive for damage? | 04:08 |
| pcfreak30 | jahnkeanater: ur in luck | 04:09 |

| jahnkeanater | when it tells me to Copy the following SQL to create a table and structure what do i do to do that | 04:09 |
| jahnkeanater | ok | 04:09 |

| jahnkeanater | k | 04:09 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i do that | 04:09 |
| pcfreak30 | u have a web host | 04:09 |
| kitche | RyanPrior: well look up a better one then just look up system profiler in synaptic and such | 04:09 |
| pyrak | also, what format do you recommend using for an external (used just for backups/extra storage) | 04:09 |
| dispraekailo | Might anyone here have experience with rt2500 in feisty? | 04:09 |

| deepak | how do i free up resources and processes so i can run a command and install something from terminal ? | 04:10 |
| isiah | pkill will end process | 04:11 |
| IdleOne | deepak, you should not need to kill processes to install something | 04:11 |
| isiah | so if you type in "pkill firefox" it will end firefox | 04:11 |
| DareDevil | anto9us, does it have graphique interface?? | 04:11 |
| dispraekailo | Nice, duplicate entry for freenode listed as 'Ubuntu Servers' from default install ;[ | 04:11 |
| mralexandro | is it possible to mount my memory stick reader in linux? | 04:11 |
| isiah | yes | 04:11 |
| kitche | mralexandro: if linux sees your memory reader | 04:12 |
| deepak | ok, so bad to kill processes to install something...noted | 04:12 |
| anto9us | DareDevil, no, use it like this, nmap 192.168.1.0/24 or perhaps nmap 10.0.0.0/24 depending on your network numbering | 04:12 |

| DareDevil | anto9us, thank you | 04:12 |
| isiah | try using the program nice | 04:12 |
| mralexandro | kitche: do you have a command i can type in terminal to see if linux does in fact detect my memory reader? | 04:12 |
| isiah | deepak: use nice | 04:13 |
| kitche | mralexandro: look at dmesg to see if linux sees it | 04:13 |
| bobertdos | Appl3Kork: Install build-essential | 04:13 |
| Appl3Kork | I did already | 04:13 |
| deepak | ok, will try another way | 04:13 |
| Appl3Kork | cause I was trying to install a game, and the ./configure would fail | 04:13 |
| kevin_ | et | 04:13 |
| deepak | ok, heres one, how do i know that my display drivers are installed? | 04:14 |
| deepak | or drivers for all my hardware for that matter? | 04:14 |
| bobertdos | Appl3Kork: Take note of the dependencies causing it to fail. You will need to install any dependencies the configure script demands before proceeding any further. | 04:14 |
| Appl3Kork | how do I check the dependencies? | 04:15 |
| IdleOne | Appl3Kork, what are you trying to install? | 04:15 |
| mralexandro | kitche: alot of text.... | 04:15 |
| Appl3Kork | Well first I was trying to install xmoto, but it didn't work for configure | 04:15 |
| Appl3Kork | now I'm just trying to install tuxnes | 04:15 |
| BeepII | ok, I just got a NVidia e-GeForce FX 5200 graphics card | 04:15 |
| IdleOne | Appl3Kork, sudo apt-get install xmoto | 04:16 |
| BeepII | and a notification came up when I turned my computer on about drivers from the restricted set. | 04:16 |
| bobertdos | Appl3Kork: Just watch the output of the script for errors about missing dependencies. | 04:16 |

| SurfnKid | hi | 04:30 |
| kitche | mralexandro: all I m not great with readers so it's probably a driver issue or something | 04:30 |
| SurfnKid | What is the best Wireless Express card out there for Ubuntu without all the FWcutting/NdisTortillaWrapping stuff, that can be easily configured or detected or moded?? | 04:30 |
| kitche | SurfnKid: probably Intel but you still need to get the firmware | 04:31 |
| Whiz_2 | anto9us: yes I have a floppy | 04:31 |
| Whiz_2 | anto9us: why else would I ask about loading drivers such as mscdex.exe? | 04:32 |
| anto9us | Whiz_2, then you can boot of that for a network install | 04:32 |
| SurfnKid | kitche: I've been on Dapper/Edgy/Fiesty and now Im on Hoary and the Broadcomm 4306 is not installing well due to the new b43 and b43legacy drivers | 04:32 |

| anto9us | Whiz_2, I'd try it and see if it works after install | 04:33 |
| kitche | SurfnKid: a broadcom I don't use native drivers though since all drivers really for broadcom are bad | 04:34 |
| SurfnKid | but they work dont they? | 04:34 |
| SurfnKid | i used ndiswrapper all the time | 04:34 |
| anto9us | Whiz_2, or you could make a live USB stick if you have one | 04:34 |

| hitman1985 | i can do wine and my day by day stuff fine (just reinstalled few mins ago) because i made a mistake installing wine | 04:56 |
| Gnea | test34: nvidia.ko probably won't unload until he does | 04:56 |
| hitman1985 | so i had to redo everything | 04:56 |
| Totakeke | Anto9us: Okay, I made a little clerical error. I didn't completely isntall it, I get to the part where I have to reboot (after the UNetBootin thing finishes) and when I reboot, a text menu comes up saying "Default, Try Ubuntu, Install, etc. etc." I'm not sure what to do next. Default? Install? | 04:56 |
| jansen | i could do that on hardware fdrivers | 04:56 |

| anto9us | Totakeke, install, make sure you configure grub to install on your flash drive | 04:57 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 04:57 |

| anto9us | Totakeke, the ubuntu installer defaults to putting grub on the first HD, you have to tell it specifically where to put it if you want it elsewhere | 05:01 |
| test34 | Whiz_2: it is 30$/hr for me to pay attention | 05:01 |
| jcarter | Why can´t any of my applications, aside from the browser, show an icon for Network Servers for open/save operations? I´m using Ubuntu Desktop 8.0.4 in VMWare on a Mac OS X 10.5.4 | 05:01 |

| Totakeke | Anto9us: Oh, the boot loader towards the end of the install. Yeah, I know that, but the website makes it sound like there's some kind of installation process that starts up as soon as you restart (but before you can actually load up Linux from the flash drive.) I need to know how to get to the installer. (Unless I just do a normal install.) | 05:03 |

| greeg | THANK YOU | 05:03 |
| anto9us | Totakeke, don't really know about that, just the little 'gotcha' that I pointed out | 05:03 |
| Totakeke | Anto9us: I guess I'll just try a normal install frmo the UNetBootin menu after the restart. Should I put the boot loader on /dev/sdd or /dev/sdd1 (or sdd2, etc.)? | 05:03 |

| greeg | Gnea: the only reason im here is becuase no one else of 20 distros could provide what IdleOne provided | 05:04 |
| IdleOne | greeg, if you came here to talk smack about ubuntu you came to the wrong place. every distro has it's +'s and -'s | 05:04 |

| Totakeke | Anto9us: But they're both the flash device. sdd is the flash drive, but there's sdd, sdd1, and I believe sdd2. I think those are the seperate partitions. Should I just do it to /dev/sdd (without any numbers)? | 05:05 |

| tritium | lenovo_SUX: the 6100 can do better resolution than that | 05:11 |
| newclimb | do you know any solution do the chrome hc driver video | 05:11 |
| cwill747 | R_YoYo_R: haha, it should work. The update manager updates when a new distro comes out "formally" | 05:11 |
| linuxfce | unavailable i use this and voice chat works fine http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nlrmdlub4tv | 05:12 |
| tritium | cwill747: same distro, new release | 05:12 |
| lenovo_SUX | tritium: i know this,as should anyone else, but the ubuntu doesnt think so | 05:12 |
| jeffz | so, I ran sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04, my install has stopped with dpkg saying, too many errors giving up, assertion failed, segmentation fault blah blah, do I just run dpkg --configure -a? | 05:12 |
| cwill747 | tritium: oh yeah, my b, it's midnight here XD | 05:12 |
| lenovo_SUX | tritium: the system is OKish | 05:12 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: I did that to eclipse and it lost all its plugins? | 05:12 |
| cwill747 | R_YoYo_R: yes, sorry, new release of the distro, not a different distro | 05:12 |
| tritium | lenovo_SUX: my 6150 can do 1080i on ubuntu | 05:12 |
| linuxfce | 1080 seems to perform better on ubuntu for me | 05:13 |
| lenovo_SUX | tritium: sempron 3400+ AM2, 512 ram and onboard geforce 6100 in the nvidia chipset | 05:13 |
| R_YoYo_R | cwill747, yea i know that :) | 05:13 |

| tyoc | is ubuntu 8.4 able to read/write ntfs files??? | 05:13 |
| tyoc | in an external USB HD? | 05:13 |
| tritium | lenovo_SUX: yes, you should be able to do better than that, especially with the nvidia-glx-new package | 05:13 |
| linuxfce | with ntfs-3g, i dont know if thats built in or not | 05:13 |
| pcfreak30 | tyco: yes | 05:13 |
| Theaxiom | tyoc: yes | 05:13 |
| cernex | yo'! | 05:13 |
| cwill747 | tyoc: yes, you can mount it with ntfs-3g | 05:13 |
| tyoc | thx Theaxiom | 05:13 |
| pcfreak30 | my external hd is ntfs | 05:13 |

| jeffz | anyone? | 05:14 |
| linuxfce | !hi linuxfce | 05:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hi linuxfce | 05:14 |
| tyoc | cwill747, looking forward to it, thx | 05:14 |
| R_YoYo_R | jeffz, i missed the question | 05:14 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, I don't think you should run eclipse as root. I guess that happened because you're a different user and eclipse maps plugins to the user's home directory | 05:14 |
| lenovo_SUX | tritium: yet thats what it gave me. would a 64 bit install make a diffference? i only had a 32 bit 8.04 disk handy | 05:14 |
| cernex | I'm trying to open YasT | 05:14 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Then how can I have permission to edit files? | 05:14 |
| linuxfce | !hi | linuxfce | 05:14 |
| ubottu | linuxfce, please see my private message | 05:14 |
| tritium | lenovo_SUX: no, it shouldn't | 05:14 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: I am editing files outside my user directory | 05:14 |
| cernex | Because I'm stuck with a lousy D-Link wireless thing | 05:15 |
| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: I ran sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04, it downloaded installed mostly everything then postinst scripts started segfaulting, dpkg threw some assertions then said too many errors giving up | 05:15 |
| cwill747 | tyoc: no problem | 05:15 |
| cernex | Right now I'm using a friend's cable connection | 05:15 |
| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: do I just run dpkg --configure -a? | 05:15 |
| cernex | But after that, I need to use this D-Link thing | 05:15 |
| pcfreak30 | Theaxioum: use sudo gedit | 05:15 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, add yourself to that group and add group permissions to those folders/files | 05:15 |
| pcfreak30 | thren the file | 05:15 |
| R_YoYo_R | jeffz, is 6.06 to 8.04 even supported? | 05:15 |
| cernex | Found a tutorial to do so | 05:15 |
| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: both are long term thingos, so yes. | 05:15 |
| wbmj | jeffz:There are a great amount of diiferences between 6.06.and 8.04...better to do 7.04 then 8.04 | 05:15 |
| cernex | But now I'm stuck because I just can't seem to either find YasT, let alone use it | 05:15 |
| cernex | And it's on one of the steps | 05:16 |
| jeffz | wbmj: why? it's supported to go from one long term release to another? | 05:16 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Add myself to what group? argh I am lost, but thanks for getting me on the right track. I want to have ownership of /var/www - how do I do that? | 05:16 |

| R_YoYo_R | jeffz, ahh good point. . . what is the error again? | 05:16 |
| linuxfce | i guess flashcam is ONLY able to run at the lowest resolution | 05:16 |
| sekyourbox | can someone whois me? | 05:16 |
| linuxfce | and i mean LOW | 05:16 |
| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: while it was trying to configure packages the configure scripts crashed, then dpkg crashed and gave up | 05:16 |
| linuxfce | postage stamp low | 05:16 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Can't I just add the folder to my group? WOuldn't that be more secure? | 05:16 |
| R_YoYo_R | jeffz, did you try again? | 05:17 |

| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: I'm not sure that's wise, I think I'll just run dpkg --configure -a | 05:17 |
| lenovo_SUX | tritium: in a 64 bit live cd and it defaulted to 1680x1050 on a old ast vision5l | 05:17 |

| ivanm1 | my mouse randomly stops moving for a few seconds, i f i stop hald it works ok. Is there any way to stop those random freezes without killing hald? | 05:17 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, I'm not sure if that would create other problems for your web server | 05:17 |
| jeffz | yeah... great. doesn't look good. | 05:17 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Thanks | 05:17 |
| R_YoYo_R | jeffz, oic what you mean....but that command might not be smart either....unless you know exactly how everything is configured | 05:17 |
| nalioth | how do i get my hostname to resolve in apache2? | 05:18 |
| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: something has gone bad... | 05:18 |
| R_YoYo_R | jeffz, what now? | 05:18 |
| jeffz | R_YoYo_R: same as before, a bunch of packages are left unconfigured because the scripts which configure them segfault | 05:19 |
| Theaxiom | What do I do to find out what group(s) have what permisssions on a specific folder? | 05:19 |
| wbmj | jeffz:I tried to tell you | 05:20 |

| jeffz | wbmj, unless you have a time machine, what you told me is of no use. | 05:20 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, ls -l, addgroup, chown and chmod are your friends | 05:20 |
| R_YoYo_R | Theaxiom, there is a better command line command but i forgot it | 05:20 |

| Theaxiom | All I want to do is add write permissions for myself on /var/www - how would I do that? | 05:24 |
| Theaxiom | The only group with write access to it right now is root. | 05:25 |
| roxan | hello, where to look to see what new things coming in 8.1 | 05:25 |
| Theaxiom | And I don't want to add myself to root. | 05:25 |
| dmsuperman_ | Theaxiom: take ownership of it | 05:25 |
| dmsuperman_ | Theaxiom: chown YOUR_USER /var/www | 05:26 |
| Theaxiom | dmsuperman_: Will that break anything? | 05:26 |
| wbmj | jeffz:sudo dpkg --audit | 05:26 |
| dmsuperman_ | Theaxiom: usually you actually want to do www-data to own it | 05:26 |
| jcarter | Theaxiom: Add yourself to the group for that folder | 05:26 |
| Theaxiom | jcarter: The group for that folder is root | 05:26 |
| dmsuperman_ | Theaxiom: something like "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www" and then the first permission byte will be for www-data | 05:27 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, I'd just change group ownership, to www and join that group, then you can also add anything else that might need write permission to that group | 05:27 |
| angel | hyy | 05:27 |
| roxan | you can put write permission to world but not recommented | 05:27 |
| bouma | arrr | 05:27 |
| bouma | my clipboard is broken, it just pastes http://www.evil.com | 05:27 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Thanks | 05:27 |
| bouma | help | 05:27 |
| bouma | what is going on | 05:28 |
| bouma | i really need my clipboard | 05:28 |
| Theaxiom | bouma: lol sorry can't help you there | 05:28 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, chgrp will change just group ownership, "chown user:group" changes both | 05:28 |
| dmsuperman_ | How can I get a cursor set to work all the time, instead of just when I mouse over certain windows? | 05:28 |
| jeffz | wbmj: yeah, I can see which packages are half configured, I'm trying to work out the reason for the crash | 05:28 |
| Terralthra | What do you mean "set to work all the time"? | 05:28 |
| jcarter | bouma: might try logging out and back in. | 05:28 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Thank you, I will create a www group, then add apache2 to that, and then chgrp for /var/www | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman_ | Sorry...whenever I mouse over gnome-panel or CCSM or my wallpaper, for instance, it reverts to the old cursor | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman_ | But when I mouse over gnome-terminal, or firefox | 05:29 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, that sounds good to me, yes | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman_ | it shows my new cursor theme | 05:29 |
| MaverricK | okay silly question here.. installed KDE and decided i wanted to go back to gnome but can't figure out how to... | 05:29 |
| Theaxiom | MaverricK: You can choose from the login screen | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman_ | MaverricK: when you go to login, change it to gnome | 05:29 |
| wbmj | jeffz:sudo dpkg --audit......should give you suggestions for fixing things | 05:29 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, add yourself to the www group too | 05:30 |
| MaverricK | ahh okay.. i knew it would have been an answer that was right in front of my face.. thanks. | 05:30 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: of course, goes without saying :P thanks | 05:30 |
| jcarter | Maverrick: silly thought, but have you made a backup? | 05:30 |
| jeffz | wbmj: it doesn't tell me anything I don't already know, running dpkg --configure -a attempts to configure the outstanding packages and from there it goes down the toilet | 05:30 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, yes, though it pays to be pedantic in this game :) | 05:30 |
| MaverricK | not yet i just installed ubuntu.. hadn't quite gotten around to it yet. | 05:30 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: Yes. Ok problem, the only users I can add is me and root to the www group, how do I add apache2? | 05:31 |
| === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja | ||
| Flannel | Theaxiom: www-data is the "www" group, and apache already runs as it. | 05:31 |
| sekyourbox | lol, lsd ninjl | 05:32 |
| MaverricK | once i get a day off from work i'll be doing that.. | 05:32 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: That group is not showing in my groups list... | 05:32 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, you can add as many users/processes as you like, edit /etc/group | 05:32 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: that's fine, it exists. ls -l /var/www/ and you'll see stuff. | 05:32 |
| Flannel | anto9us: No need to edit files manually | 05:33 |
| MaverricK | okay think thats all the questions for now.. | 05:33 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, Flannel is correct you can use the users-admin tool | 05:33 |
| Flannel | Or adduser, or a number of others. | 05:34 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: /var/www is a symlink, and all I see is: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2008-08-21 04:49 /var/www -> /media/System/Users/Travis Rowland/www/ | 05:34 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: er... I see. Well, chown the files there to www-data:www-data and apache will be able to deal with them. | 05:34 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: The problem is not apache, the problem is me writing to them... | 05:35 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: Eclipse crashes every time I try to save, because it does not have permission | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: right, you then add yourself to the www-data group, and you're done (after allowing group writing) | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: why aren't you just using userdir, by the way? | 05:35 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: How do I add myself to that group? | 05:35 |
| RecycleBin | Where can i find an older version of ubuntu ? | 05:35 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: I want to edit the files in the www directory directly | 05:35 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: They are on a shared partition with Vista | 05:36 |
| R_YoYo_R | RecycleBin, just curious why? | 05:36 |
| RecycleBin | i get the busybox error on this mobo, i need to install an older version and upgrade | 05:36 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, I think the problem is your mount permission, that directory has global write permissions | 05:37 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: adduser user group, will add user to group | 05:37 |
| Theaxiom | Flannel: Thanks I will try adduser travis www-data | 05:37 |

| anto9us | Theaxiom, I think the problem is your mount permission, that directory has global write permissions | 05:39 |
| Flannel | Theaxiom: You need to make sure that directory has write permissions for the group, as well as owner. | 05:39 |

| jeffz | wbmj: no, something is wrong since perl crashes | 05:57 |
| salmon | question... does anyone know how to uninstall pulse audio?? | 05:57 |
| sekyourbox | what is SVN? | 05:57 |
| sekyourbox | google says subversion | 05:57 |
| troxor | sekyourbox: source code management system | 05:58 |
| jeffz | sekyourbox: it's subversion. | 05:58 |
| wbmj | jeffz:did you try purging perl | 05:58 |
| jeffz | sekyourbox: it's a slow, centralized version control system | 05:58 |
| sekyourbox | sounds like fun | 05:58 |
| Totakeke | So what do I do with UNetBootin after restarting from Windows? I think I'm on Linux right now because the CD isn't in the drive, but I'm not sure. I can't save anything and when I restart my computer it's like Linux just got installed for the first time. Is this because it isn't persistent? | 05:58 |
| troxor | salmon: probably just go into synaptic, search for pulse, then remove everything | 05:58 |
| Totakeke | Oh, wait, I'm probably on Linux using a Live USB instead of a Live CD, that might explain why nothing's saving? | 05:59 |
| jeffz | wbmj, several packages depend on perl, so I can't purge | 05:59 |
| busbey | vista says its deult os | 05:59 |
| anto9us | Totakeke, looks that way, yes, I think you've created a live usb rather than an installed one | 06:00 |
| busbey | i want it to be but its not. if my computer restarts and im not near it goes into linux | 06:00 |
| jeffz | wbmj, can't remove the packages that depend on perl because they have to run perl scripts to be removed | 06:00 |
| Totakeke | Anto9us: Is there any way to install it, instead of just using a Live USB? Is there some kind of application that can do it (preferably) or do I have to do it manually? | 06:01 |
| Ellement | Hi, I'm currently using ubntu at work and love it so i want to get rid of windows on my home pc and replace it with ubuntu. I'm concerned though whether or not ubuntu will drive dual screen on my video card which is ati 9200 PCI, can anyone help me out? | 06:01 |
| Fredd | is it possible and ok to change the size of the hard drive where ubuntu is installed? | 06:01 |
| anto9us | Totakeke, yes, you can install from the liveusb stick, provided there's space | 06:01 |
| Totakeke | Anto9us: Oh, there's space, 32 gigabytes in fact :P So I should just go ahead and install it like I normally would? (which I don't really want to, it gave me lots of problems before) | 06:02 |
| sekyourbox | is there a package for SAP? | 06:02 |
| alistair_ | Help; Manually installing a .jar file. Cant find help do I typically drop files into /usr/bin | 06:02 |

| gregbrady | troxor, yes, "Audio output unavailable; the device is busy" | 06:03 |
| anto9us | Totakeke, just remember to configure grub :) | 06:03 |

| anto9us | Totakeke, I do believe buying a ticket increases your chances slightly too but not enough for me to part with my £ | 06:08 |
| gregbrady | troxor, nah, going back to XP requires no effort, thanks though! | 06:09 |

| gregbrady | ok, anyone else with a good audio solution? | 06:12 |
| Totakeke | anto9us: I guess so. You have to be in it to win it :P | 06:12 |

| gregbrady | anto9us, I understand the reference, but it does nothing to help my situation. Thanks though. | 06:13 |

| Flannel | Flynsarmy: try switching to a different mirror | 06:23 |
| gregbrady | nope, no worries. I guess I'm done here | 06:23 |

| anto9us | gregbrady, do you have the codecs installed for the media files you're trying to play? | 06:24 |
| sekyourbox | Im having a hell of a time getting libsshv.11 to install | 06:24 |
| gregbrady | yes, or the error would indicate so | 06:24 |
| zeeeee | cupsd is running on my system; is this enabled by default (at least in 8.04)? if not then i'll disable it | 06:25 |
| sekyourbox | is it possible to install 2x and .11 (libssh) at the same time? | 06:25 |
| jeffz | zeeeee: yes it's default, since many users wish to print things, if not to a real printer, to pdf | 06:25 |
| Ross` | is there a way to make directories public as if they were in a workgroup on windows | 06:26 |
| dmsuperman_ | I log into gnome and all I get is a cursor and orange background. no panels show, compiz doesn't start, nothing. I've tried with another user, and they can start fine. Gnome, without xclient, and also failsafe gnome, do the exact same thing | 06:26 |
| Ross` | with ubuntu | 06:26 |
| anto9us | gregbrady, rhythmbox and banshee are similar alternatives to amarok, tried those? | 06:26 |
| zeeeee | jeffz, ah, i see. it's a daemon that only listens for localhost connections | 06:26 |
| jeffz | Ross`: if you want to use windows file sharing, you can do that with samba, or you could use apache to serve some files if it's intended to be readonly | 06:27 |
| gregbrady | anto9us: they work | 06:27 |

| Flannel | Totakeke: / is the partition that holds anything that isn't in another dedicated partition | 06:53 |
| itachi | when i go to run it a comman propt comes up nd is like i cant run the os | 06:53 |
| Totakeke | Flannel: So the isntallation would go into root. | 06:53 |
| Whiz_2 | Flannel: it sounds to me like when itachi boots up they get a command line instead of a desktop | 06:54 |
| Totakeke | Flannel: (You can tell I'm coming from Windows :P) | 06:54 |
| itachi | yep | 06:54 |
| itachi | exatly | 06:54 |
| pcfreak30 | totakeke: then type statx | 06:54 |
| pcfreak30 | but u soulnt have to do that | 06:54 |
| Flannel | itachi: Which CD did you use to install? | 06:54 |
| vdsy | rubydiamond, env | 06:54 |
| Avi_IRC | Flannel: bash: /etc/vuxrc: Permission denied | 06:54 |
| anto9us | Totakeke, go with / and swap as you can easily move your /home if you feel you need to later, 10GB+ for nicely sized linux playground | 06:54 |
| Totakeke | pcfreak30: I think you got the wrong person :P | 06:54 |
| pcfreak30 | imean the run level is 5 by default which = gui | 06:54 |
| itachi | i just use my usb flashdriver | 06:54 |
| pcfreak30 | i might | 06:55 |
| rubydiamond | thanks vdsy | 06:55 |
| pcfreak30 | bit busy now | 06:55 |
| Flannel | Avi_IRC: sudo nano /etc/vuxrc | 06:55 |
| Flannel | Avi_IRC: or gksu gedit /etc/vuxrc | 06:55 |
| Totakeke | Alright, I just want to get this straight. 10 GiB for /, 4 or so GiB for swap, and the rest to /home? (about 18 GiB)? | 06:55 |
| Flannel | itachi: which ISO did you use? | 06:55 |
| geev_ | hi to every one | 06:55 |
| Flannel | Totakeke: that'll be good, yeah. | 06:55 |
| pyrak | what should i format this external hd to? i'm going to use it to make file backups with flyback | 06:55 |
| Totakeke | Flannel: Okay, thanks. | 06:55 |
| itachi | wat do u mean | 06:55 |
| Flannel | itachi: To install you downloaded an iso file, what was that file called? | 06:56 |
| itachi | ok 1 sec | 06:56 |
| Whiz_2 | i'm still here for my original issue... during ubuntu server install (command line only) ubuntu setup tells me it cannot detect any common CD-ROM drives. it prompts me to specify a dev to use so I have pasted my entire /dev list for all to see in hopes of getting the right device. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/39613/ | 06:56 |

| Flannel | itachi: and what do you see when your install boots? | 06:59 |
| Whiz_2 | I need assistance during install of ubuntu server 8.04 LTS | 06:59 |
| Totakeke | Is it alright to install an OS onto a flash drive? I mean, won't that wear it down much quicker or no, not that much? I'm not going to be on it all the time, I'd dedicate a hard drive if I wanted to do that. | 06:59 |
| === mojo__ is now known as mojo | ||

| _coredump_ | moinsen | 07:00 |
| itachi | i just ran wubi | 07:00 |

| mojo | I have an Ubuntu Server and Desktop. Is there a GUI client I can run on my desktop similar to Synaptic that will work against the server's package managers? I can make an ssh connection to the server or whatever would be needed... any ideas? Mabye a web-based synaptic i can run on the server? it is a LAMP box | 07:01 |

| kaiwen | mespejel virtualbox | 07:02 |
| mespejel | installed | 07:02 |
| mojo | DistroJockey: I know about apt-proxy, but i run AMD64 on the desktop and AthlonXP on the server. Besides, that does not address my use | 07:03 |
| Whiz_2 | I need assistance during install of ubuntu server 8.04 LTS. It says it can't detect any common CD-ROM drives during install even though it boots from one. it is an ATAPI CD-ROM drive attached to an IDE controller.

| DistroJockey | mojo, ok | 07:03 |
| mespejel | kaaiwen.. do you have any kind of messenger? please i need to know something about virtual os | 07:03 |
| neil_d | mojo: are you doing this local or over the internet ? | 07:03 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, i'd rather not, plus i have finals tom. | 07:03 |
| mojo | neil_d: vnc would mean installing a gui environment and libs on the server; i can use vnc or nx or whatever or remote x if i did but i don't want to add that to the server | 07:03 |
| kaiwen | mespejel just ask on here. | 07:03 |

| hateball | Is there a way to use /etc/iftab instead of udev in 8.04? | 07:04 |
| mojo | DistroJockey: i don't want to just have a localized pkg database. i want to manage the software on the server from the desktop with a gui or web front end as opposed to using aptitude on an ssh session. i am just not grokking aptitude for some reason very well though i am well familiar with console apps | 07:04 |
| neil_d | mojo: oh. one thing I do is use snaptic local to find the package names then use 'apt-get' on the server via ssh | 07:04 |

| mespejel | keiwen: Ok, is just that I dont get it... installing linux using virtualbox or vmware.. its really linux? i mean its using the kernel? cause i dont get it.. when i install ubuntu on my macbook.. nothing use to work.. keyboard, mighty mouse, etc.. now that i install vmware.. everything works! i dont get it.. leopard is sharing kernel with linux or what? | 07:05 |
| itachi | when i go to run it a comman propt comes up nd is like i cant run the os | 07:05 |
| mojo | neil_d: that is a thought, though there are a few differences between the apps available in the different architectures i686 vs x86_64 | 07:05 |
| itachi | can any1 help me i already install ubuntu but when i go to run it | 07:05 |
| hml | kbrosnan: thanks | 07:05 |
| itachi | can any1 help me i already install ubuntu but when i go to run it | 07:05 |
| yaya | s | 07:06 |
| mojo | itaschi do yo get a graphical boot screen first? it could be you are at a grub prompt??? grub is the boot-loader program that boot-strapps the OS into memory | 07:06 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, no, it is really linux for both ends, virtualbox and vmware. vmware may have more support since ppl pay for it, virtualbox is free. vmware also has the plus of having some drivers that go with it already installed for you, which is why your jmouse and keyborad used to work | 07:07 |
| chumpas | hello | 07:07 |
| itachi | can any1 help me i already install ubuntu but when i go to run it | 07:07 |
| chumpas | whats wrong with it itachi? | 07:07 |
| mespejel | i get it | 07:07 |
| cernex | Escuse me, somebody knows were to check the IP on ubuntu? | 07:07 |
| itachi | can any1 help me i already install ubuntu but when i go to run it | 07:07 |
| mespejel | thanks for the info keiwen | 07:07 |
| mojo | itachi: don't repeat yourself pls | 07:07 |
| mojo | itachi: ifconfig | 07:07 |
| neil_d | mojo: if you have nfs to the server maybe you could temperarly mount the servers /etc/apt on your local /etc/apt use snaptic to look up the packages (but not do anything) then run apt-get on the server. | 07:07 |
| itachi | well when i go to run the os | 07:07 |
| itachi | a command line comes up | 07:08 |
| seth1232 | itachi: Put your question on one line, and try to describe what it is your seeing accurately | 07:08 |
| anto9us | cernex, ifconfig will list all network devices and associated ip addresses | 07:08 |
| mespejel | keiwen: and yeah its very expensive, im using try version.. lol | 07:08 |
| itachi | nd idk whats wrong | 07:08 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, plus macbook has it's own hardware, so for virtualbox, you may need to configure/install some stuff. | 07:08 |
| Whiz_2 | mespejel: itachi's computer will only boot to a command line | 07:08 |
| itachi | exatly | 07:08 |
| Whiz_2 | mojo: how else are people to see questions if they are not repeated after a time? | 07:08 |
| mespejel | keywen: 80$.. but i can use vista, linux and even solaris 64 bit support, i was surprised | 07:08 |
| mojo | neil_d: yeah but that's just a kludgy work around with me still having to go manually install with apt or aptitude. i would just plug on with aptitude if i had to then. | 07:08 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, I suggest you try to figure out what's wrong with the virtualbox then, another virtualization software you can use is parallels, which is more mac oriented | 07:08 |
| mespejel | I see | 07:08 |
| chumpas | okay | 07:08 |
| Trogdorburn | How would one connect to an ubuntu/PulseAudio RTP stream from a windows streaming client like VLC/winamp? I'm not sure what's wrong. | 07:08 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, they all have their pluses and downs, i think i have a comparison somewhere... | 07:09 |
| mojo | Whiz_2: yeah, after a time. | 07:09 |
| chumpas | My question is, I'm trying to install wireless on an Atheros card | 07:09 |
| MaverricK | whenever i go to window login under administration it comes up with this.. how do i get gnome to reboot.. | 07:09 |
| itachi | when i try to run the utubu a command line comes up i forgot what exatly tell me but yeh i cant use ubuntu | 07:09 |
| `brooks | Question: I realize TOR is slow for a good reason, but does anyone know of an application/decent proxy list that I can use for every-day browsing when speed is a bit more important, or am I stuck with creepy adult friend-finder ads? | 07:09 |
| chumpas | but when I got to sudo make, it says there is no make | 07:09 |
| mespejel | keiwen: i was reading that vmware is much better than parallels, but i need to try as well | 07:09 |
| mespejel | keiwen: virtualbox works for mac as well? | 07:09 |
| MaverricK | GDM (GNOME Display Manager) is not running. | 07:09 |
| kaiwen | mespejel http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VBox_vs_Others | 07:09 |
| Flannel | !repeat | itachi | 07:09 |
| ubottu | itachi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 07:09 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, yes, have you not tried using it? | 07:10 |
| itachi | when i try to run the utubu a command line comes up i forgot what exatly tell me but yeh i cant use ubuntu | 07:10 |
| mespejel | noup | 07:10 |
| mespejel | never | 07:10 |
| mespejel | but you know why | 07:10 |
| MaverricK | You might be using a different display manager, such as KDM (KDE Display Manager), CDE login (dtlogin), or XDM. If you wish to use this feature, then your system will need to be configured to use GDM instead. | 07:10 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, download it from teh virtualbox site | 07:10 |
| neil_d | mojo: be handy if snaptic had a ncurses interface, but I don't know how to do anything like that. | 07:10 |
| mespejel | cause it does not support 64 bit | 07:10 |
| mespejel | thats why | 07:10 |
| jeffz | my system is booting kernel 2.6.18, but boot shows a 2.6.22-15, how do I select the newer kernel for default? | 07:10 |
| MaverricK | my question. how do i reconfig for it to use GDM? | 07:10 |
| mespejel | and i have 4gb of ram.. good for 64 bit | 07:10 |
| ross | hey | 07:10 |
| Flannel | MaverricK: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 07:10 |
| ross | how do i host directorys | 07:10 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, parallels doesn't according to the chart | 07:10 |
| ross | in my samba thing | 07:10 |
| sk33t0r | hey.. Im wondering if the reason why bf1942 is running strange is because of ubuntu and wine.. not because of my gfx card.. if thats the case Im gonna dual boot windows and ubuntu | 07:10 |
| Theaxiom | anto9us: I got everything working peachy now, thanks man. :) It was my mounts. | 07:10 |
| mojo | itachi is gone huh? | 07:10 |
| itachi8 | soz im bak | 07:10 |
| Expl0ited | jeffz: remove the old one... in synaptic. | 07:10 |
| kaiwen | mespejel, looks like virtualbox does for host | 07:11 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: how do you mean strange? I run it | 07:11 |
| Trogdorburn | 'brooks - AFF ads are just approximations of the closest router on a traceroute to you, connected to a few stock pictures. | 07:11 |

| jeffz | Expl0ited: I run it almost dialy | 07:11 |
| sk33t0r | it works fairly well | 07:11 |
| `brooks | TordgorBirn: I realize this. | 07:11 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: there's your problem | 07:11 |
| mojo | itachi8: it would help to know what the "prompt" said or looked like. which characters? how far does the boot get. Do yo see a message flash up about Grub stage 1.5 loading? Do you get a boot menu to pick the OS from before it continutes on to this prompt? | 07:11 |
| Expl0ited | mine dies after fully loaded. | 07:11 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: all ati drivers are crap | 07:12 |
| Trogdorburn | 'brooks - they mean nothing, and tor would feed you ones for wherever the proxy is coming from. If you want to remove it, there are plenty of ways to do that in FF | 07:12 |
| mespejel | kaiwen: i will try it thanks let you know.. btw, what its your major? | 07:12 |
| Expl0ited | after the level is loaded. | 07:12 |
| jeffz | Expl0ited, it works almost flawlessly with my nvidia | 07:12 |

| itachi8 | hold up i ma go nd copy what is says | 07:12 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: crap in any linux, ati drivers are poorly written and impossible for ati to fix | 07:12 |

| kaiwen | mespejel, hopefully computer engineering. i have math and cse exam tom. | 07:12 |
| chumpas | Okay Guys, I have a Atheros AR5007 and I was following the howto in the Ubuntu forums, but when I enter the comman "sudo make" it does nothing...it actually says"No targets specified and no makefile found" | 07:12 |
| Dacvak | Hi, I'm editing my xorg.conf file in the standard terminal. How do I save my progress and close out? Is there anything special I need to do? | 07:12 |
| itachi8 | mojo: yes | 07:12 |
| jeffz | Expl0ited: with intel, you get a "maybe", maybe it will work, maybe it will have bad performance | 07:13 |
| `brooks | TorgdorBurn: The ads are just one thing that slightly annoys me. I want a hair of anonimity. | 07:13 |
| sk33t0r | yea Ive had a lot of problems getting it to work.. I need to stop compiz and replace it with metacity everythimg | 07:13 |
| neil_d | can you configure a firewall to allow user A to access the internet but not user B ? | 07:13 |
| mespejel | kaiwen: awsome, lol.. good luck | 07:13 |
| mojo | okay then it is likely that it is an OS prompt for Linux, not a Grub prompt. | 07:13 |
| sk33t0r | everytime* | 07:13 |

| Theaxiom | jeffz: What else? | 07:14 |
| chumpas | can anyone help me? | 07:15 |
| jeffz | Theaxiom: make sure you have 3d drivers installed, which video card do you have? | 07:15 |
| Flannel | mespejel: Chatting is preferred in #ubuntu-offtopic (you might also be interested in #ubuntu-california) | 07:15 |
| sk33t0r | jeffz, any chance they would work better or is that doubtful? | 07:15 |
| trojatra | Theaxiom, read a lot of documentation :P | 07:15 |
| Theaxiom | jeffz: I am using the drivers for my 8800GTX | 07:15 |
| mojo | sk33t0r: ati has done quite a turn around with their linux and open source support so perhaps it's not fair to be as cynical as we all once were regarding them. plus, bad language is bad form here even with xx's | 07:15 |
| Theaxiom | jeffz: I am using the new nvidia glx drivers | 07:15 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: doubtful, I've seen some screenshots of some stuff and it still looks very preliminary | 07:15 |
| Dacvak | I tried to add potential resolutions, but I don't know how to do it. I'm trying to add the screen resolution 1024x768. | 07:15 |

| zcat[1] | problem; my laptop doesn't work with any kind of external display, it works fine right up to the login screen but locks up hard a few seconds after logging in.. not a hardware problem because it still works (including logging in, playing videos, etc) when I boot from the live cd.

| ross` | how do i have directorys or stuff show up on my samba network | 07:16 |
| sk33t0r | I just bought a $10 pack that included all bf1942 and expansions plus bfv | 07:16 |
| sk33t0r | best 10 bucks Ive ever spent | 07:16 |
| hackbozy | eexit | 07:16 |
| sk33t0r | at best buy | 07:16 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: yeah, it's a shame, I wrote a letter to the president of ATI because I was so annoyed that I had bought an ati video card and it was useless | 07:16 |
| hackbozy | exit | 07:16 |
| chumpas | can anyone help me? | 07:16 |
| mojo | umm okay i have to leave for a bit, guess itachi will miss me | 07:16 |
| sk33t0r | jeffz, did you receive any sort of response? | 07:16 |
| chumpas | Okay Guys, I have a Atheros AR5007 and I was following the howto in the Ubuntu forums, but when I enter the comman "sudo make" it does nothing...it actually says"No targets specified and no makefile found" | 07:17 |
| zcat[1] | chumpas: you tried ./configure first? | 07:17 |
| chumpas | thanks zcat | 07:17 |
| anto9us | Trogdorburn, as a guess, enter the ip address of the ubuntu box into the rtp box in vlc's open network stream dialog box | 07:17 |
| sk33t0r | I used to love ATI cards on my windows machine.. now that I switched to linux.. I see that they are not very good with it.. very disappointing | 07:17 |
| chumpas | zcat[1]: I'll try that | 07:17 |
| jeffz | sk33t0r: well, this was a few months before they announced they were going to cooperate and release free documentation so that free drivers could be written, and that was the main point of my letter, so perhaps a coincidence, the straw that broke the camels back, I don't know, but no formal response. | 07:17 |
| Dacvak | Do I have to, like, reset xorg.conf to have the changes take effect? | 07:17 |
| Dacvak | Like an added resolution I made | 07:18 |
| zcat[1] | chumpas: ./configure ; make ; sudo make install is the standard way of compiling stuff. | 07:18 |
| sk33t0r | jeffz, very nice.. amazing what a few finely crafted words can do :-D | 07:18 |
| ross` | please someone | 07:18 |

| Dacvak | Do I have to, like, reset xorg.conf to have the changes take effect? | 07:19 |

| chumpas | does anyone have expirience with madwifi? | 07:25 |
| chrismurf | totem is consuming 100% CPU and I can't kill it (the window is gone) | 07:25 |
| CartoonCat | chumpas, yes, what are you needing | 07:25 |
| jeffz | bazhang: I'm suggesting you don't recommend it in the channel as it creates a false sense of security | 07:25 |

| chrismurf | Theaxiom: good call, but nope - that doesn't do it either | 07:26 |
| chrismurf | I've tried sending it a variety of signals | 07:26 |
| Theaxiom | chrismurf: Reboot | 07:26 |
| chrismurf | can't | 07:26 |
| juan | for see that memory are using | 07:26 |

| chrismurf | working on my thesis | 07:26 |
| Theaxiom | chrismurf: Don't know what to tell you, sorry. | 07:26 |
| chrismurf | rebooting would be...undesirable | 07:26 |

| chrismurf | anyway I can foreground it? | 07:26 |
| chrismurf | zombie it remotely? | 07:26 |
| chrismurf | I don't understand how this is even possible | 07:26 |
| jeffz | chrismurf: if you've tried to kill it using -9, try killing the parent process | 07:27 |
| neil_d | chrismurf: have you tried 'kill -9 <number>' | 07:27 |
| chrismurf | neil_d: yes, thanks | 07:27 |
| chrismurf | and several other signals after that | 07:27 |
| CartoonCat | chumpas, the 5007 takes more then 5 min, post me thel ink you use, and ill find the one that worked for me, it might be out of date tho, it has been 3 months | 07:27 |
| zcat[1] | A friend of mine gave me a CD of useful tools (some of it warez) a few years back ... just recently I noticed the cd has three viruses on it as well. I ought to try getting them to run in wine sometime. | 07:27 |
| chrismurf | jeffz, how do I determine the parent process? | 07:27 |
| jeffz | chrismurf: pstree | 07:27 |
| itachi | minimal bash like line editing is supported for the fisrt word tab list possible command completions.anywhere else tab list the possible completetions of the device/filename | 07:27 |
| chrismurf | wow | 07:27 |
| itachi | what does that mean | 07:27 |
| jeffz | zcat[1]: that's not recommended unless you do it in a virtual machine | 07:27 |
| DistroJockey | chrismurf, probably firefox if you have that open | 07:27 |
| zcat[1] | jeffz: hmm | 07:28 |
| jeffz | zcat[1]: wine provides no level of security against viruses or any other software | 07:28 |
| chrismurf | DistroJockey: I did, it's closed now | 07:28 |
| jeffz | zcat[1]: wine is not a virtual machine | 07:28 |

| Theaxiom | Is there a program to create virtual drives in linux and mount images to them? | 07:29 |
| neil_d | chrismurf: have you tried logging out ? | 07:29 |
| Flannel | MaverricK: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 07:30 |
| Trogdorburn | !rtp | 07:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rtp | 07:30 |
| jahnkeanater | create table | 07:30 |
| Kartagis | jahnkeanater, #mysql is your friend | 07:30 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen | 07:30 |
| erpo | Theaxiom: cd drives? | 07:30 |
| chrismurf | neil_d: I'd really rather not, because I have many thesis-related windows open. Plus, this is linux, I shouldn't have to, right? ;-) | 07:30 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ^can i install that on ubuntu? | 07:30 |
| Flannel | !iso | Theaxiom | 07:30 |
| ubottu | Theaxiom: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:30 |
| MaverricK | flannel i'm assuming thats in console and will i need to be root for that? | 07:30 |
| erpo | Flannel: Not all CD images are ISOs/ | 07:30 |
| Flannel | MaverricK: no, sudo does that. | 07:30 |
| === dac_ is now known as Dacvak | ||
| Flannel | MaverricK: but yes, a console. | 07:30 |
| MaverricK | ahh okay. | 07:30 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Flannel: if i install Xen on ubuntu will i be able to install a different OS like freebsd and run both at the same time? | 07:30 |
| meek | hello | 07:31 |
| Kartagis | !mysql | jahnkeanater | 07:31 |
| ubottu | jahnkeanater: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:31 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, yes | 07:31 |
| Theaxiom | But aren't there any programs like daemon-tools for linux? | 07:31 |
| Dacvak | Could someone be extremely helpful and tell me step by step what I need to do in order to add 1024x768 to my possible screen resolutions? | 07:31 |
| erpo | Theaxiom: There is a program called cdemu that is like daemon tools, but it takes a ton of work to get it running and it's hard to use. | 07:31 |
| anto9us | Theaxiom, mount -o loop does the same thing | 07:31 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | esc: would it work the same as if i had a partition and dual booted? as in, the only difference would eb that i could be on both systems at the same time? | 07:31 |
| Kartagis | when I install ubuntu using LiveCD and choose to let ubuntu do the partitioning, will it allocate a swap partition? | 07:31 |
| seth1232 | Theaxiom: Yes I found one give me a second to pull up the project on google | 07:31 |
| erpo | anto9us: mount -o loop does not do the same thing. Not all CD images are ISOs. | 07:31 |
| neil_d | chrismurf: not generally but a runaway process is another story. maybe you could just 'renice' it with htop or something so it does slow your system down. | 07:32 |
| itachi | i dont get this is driving me crazy | 07:32 |
| itachi | =/ | 07:32 |
| chrismurf | neil_d: now that's the kind of creative thinking I need :-) | 07:32 |
| bazhang | itachi, you need to read the md5 link and follow it. | 07:32 |
| itachi | i am | 07:32 |
| juan | Hi: I need a system monitor for my video card | 07:32 |
| juan | for see that memory are using | 07:32 |
| jahnkeanater | ok i am having problems with where do i put my username and pass | 07:32 |
| itachi | where do i put md5 codes | 07:32 |
| jahnkeanater | paste bin | 07:32 |
| jeffz | juan, why do you think you need that? | 07:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | esac: would it work the same as if i had a partition and dual booted? as in, the only difference would eb that i could be on both systems at the same time? | 07:33 |
| jahnkeanater | paste | 07:33 |
| anto9us | erpo, I understood that you can specify the image type/filesystem with the mount command | 07:33 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i do that | 07:33 |
| jeffz | juan, your video drivers manage the memory. it's none of the users business. | 07:33 |
| itachi | Just download the two files from any of the mirrors. Store them in the same directory. For Hardy, the CD image MD5s can be found at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS and the Hardy DVDs can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/release/MD5SUMS | 07:33 |
| MaverricK | okay see if that'll work and comin from windows. will that or won't that require a reboot flannel? | 07:33 |
| Dacvak | No one here knows how to add screen resolutions that aren't listed? | 07:33 |
| chrismurf | neil_d: still @ 100%, but I suspect that'll make my laptop more usable, thanks for the thought | 07:33 |
| seth1232 | Theaxiom: http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/ | 07:33 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: usually by adding them to xorg.conf | 07:33 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, a virtualized os will never run at the same speed as a native os, but assuming you arent doing anything intensive, yes that is the only difference | 07:33 |
| Theaxiom | seth1232: Thanks | 07:33 |
| erpo | anto9us: The kernel only supports files that contain and ISO9660 or UDF filesystem. That leaves out most image types. | 07:33 |
| chrismurf | neil_d: back to work ;-) | 07:33 |
| Flannel | MaverricK: no | 07:33 |
| Kartagis | !paste | jahnkeanater | 07:33 |
| ubottu | jahnkeanater: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 07:33 |
| MaverricK | didn't think so. | 07:34 |
| Dacvak | jeffz: I'm an ubuntu noob. Can you tell me what to type? | 07:34 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, well and some virtualization products offer cloning and snapshotting as well | 07:34 |
| erpo | anto9us: cue/bin ccd/bin blindwrite alcohol 120%... | 07:34 |
| neil_d | chrismurf: did that help ? | 07:34 |
| seth1232 | Theaxiom: It mounts an iso as if it were a real block device ie /dev/sdc | 07:34 |
| MM2 | How do I reconfigure X, because it won't start after changing the motherboard? | 07:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | esac: what if i got a lot more memory? like 4gb? | 07:34 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: if you do it wrong then X may not start | 07:34 |
| chrismurf | neil_d: my laptop is more responsive, but the process is still pegged at 100% (I have a dual core) | 07:34 |
| Theaxiom | seth1232: Thanks very much | 07:34 |
| juan | jeffz: i need it | 07:34 |
| jeffz | juan, why do you think you need it? | 07:34 |
| BeepII | Is there a way to recover the password on an account? | 07:34 |
| anto9us | erpo, ok, thanks | 07:34 |
| jahnkeanater | http://www.php-login-script.com/ | 07:34 |
| bazhang | !password | 07:35 |
| ubottu | Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 07:35 |
| Flannel | BeepII: no, but you can set it to something | 07:35 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, thats a start sure, but virutalized is NEVER 100% of native, it can get pretty close with hardware and paravirtualization but still ... | 07:35 |
| alittler | I got some issued with Java | 07:35 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: first of all, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a text editor, scroll to the bottom and you should see a list of default resolutions | 07:35 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i setup that database with my data | 07:35 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: tell me when you understand what you're looking at | 07:35 |
| Flannel | BeepII: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 07:35 |
| BeepII | ooo thanks guys | 07:35 |
| seth1232 | Theaxiom: It looks like they even have ubuntu packages here https://launchpad.net/~cdemu/+archive | 07:35 |
| juan | jeffz: ummn... i know that ubuntu have this monitor, but i dont remenber it | 07:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | esac: what's the max memory i can put on my computer? i think it's a 2.5 ghz motherboard intel | 07:36 |
| juan | i need debug my app | 07:36 |
| Flannel | juan: Thats best to do in a language specific channel | 07:36 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, you have to lookup your motherboard specs for that, thats not something i can just randomly tell you , sorry | 07:36 |

| zhaozhou | Hi [a-Z]{1,2}buntu users! | 07:37 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: you should see the existing format, just write in the new value so that it looks the same | 07:37 |

| BeepII | how do I know what my root password is? | 07:37 |
| rlc | ?? | 07:37 |
| juan | jeffz: ?? :/ | 07:37 |
| BeepII | unless it's the one for the first account I created? | 07:37 |
| Flannel | BeepII: There is no root password, the root account is locked. | 07:37 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: but, to save this file you'll need to edit it using sudo | 07:37 |
| Dacvak | jeffz: I looked around and didn't see anything. | 07:37 |
| Dacvak | I did.] | 07:37 |
| itachi | i need help verifying | 07:38 |
| ghindo | Could someone tell me what the default NUM is in the GRUB menu.lst? | 07:38 |
| Flannel | BeepII: Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, you don't need to set it. | 07:38 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: Dacvak towards the bottom, you should see a list of resolutions | 07:38 |
| BeepII | oh that's good. thanks flannel | 07:38 |
| Flannel | ghindo: What do you mean? | 07:38 |
| regel | !sudo BeepII | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo beepii | 07:38 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, you cant, you have to look it up for your computer model | 07:38 |
| regel | !sudo | 07:38 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 07:38 |
| jahnkeanater | DragonforceIV: insert the windows cd and run fix mbr in the console | 07:38 |
| itachi | this is so confusing | 07:38 |

| juan | Hi: I need a system monitor for my video card | 07:38 |
| ghindo | Flannel: Wait, nevermind. Figured it out on my own | 07:38 |
| MaverricK | !kdesu | 07:38 |
| ubottu | In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:38 |
| jeffz | juan, what are you debugging that would require you to know what the video drivers are doing? | 07:38 |
| juan | for see that memory are using | 07:38 |
| Theaxiom | jeffz: Wall hacking? | 07:38 |
| Flannel | juan: because debugging is a language specific thing, etc. | 07:39 |
| itachi | this is so confusing | 07:39 |
| itachi | i need help verifying | 07:39 |
| juan | jeffz: yes, dont worry, i need it this monitor | 07:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | esac: i know there's a command for your computer specs | 07:39 |
| Dacvak | jeffz: There are no resolutions for some reason. | 07:39 |
| jeffz | Theaxiom: you don't even need to do what juan is asking to do wall hacking | 07:39 |
| Flannel | itachi: please don't repeat so quickly. Also, what do you not understand about verifying? | 07:39 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: can you copy and paste it to http://rafb.net/paste | 07:39 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, many .. lspci, lshal, cat /proc/... .. however none of them that i know of will give you your motherboard mfgr and model | 07:39 |
| itachi | Flannel: is asking me to downlaod something but is just codes | 07:40 |
| jeffz | juan, I think you are confused. | 07:40 |
| Flannel | itachi: What is asking you to download what? | 07:40 |
| juan | Flannel: lol lol i need only this monitor, i my very old version of ubuntu i have it (excuse my english) | 07:40 |
| seth1232 | lshw shows mine | 07:40 |
| itachi | Flannel i'll show u | 07:40 |
| yoghurt | has anyone here ever successfully backed up a wii game | 07:40 |
| itachi | Just download the two files from any of the mirrors. Store them in the same directory. For Hardy, the CD image MD5s can be found at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS and the Hardy DVDs can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/release/MD5SUMS | 07:40 |
| MM2 | How do I reconfigure Xserver, because it won't start after changing the motherboard? | 07:40 |
| Flannel | yoghurt: That's offtopic, please take it to an appropriate channel (perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic) | 07:41 |
| Dacvak | jeffz: http://rafb.net/p/a9fiiI60.html | 07:41 |
| Dacvak | Not the entire thing copied, but the important part. | 07:41 |
| seth1232 | esac: lshw shows my motherboard manufacuter | 07:41 |
| Flannel | itachi: Are you using Hardy? | 07:41 |
| regel | MM2, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:41 |
| itachi | Flannel whats thatr | 07:41 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: do you have a Section "Screen" in the file? | 07:41 |
| Dacvak | yes | 07:42 |
| esac | CostaRicanQuaker, there you go :) | 07:42 |
| Flannel | itachi: Sorry, I already know the answer. You are using Hardy. What don't you understand about those instructions? Yes, download that file and save it to the same place as your iso | 07:42 |
| regel | MM2, but fresh install might be good to avoid problems in the future | 07:42 |
| zhaozhou | Oh wow, i thought the implications to why not using 'sodu' for GUI applications were alot bigger | 07:42 |
| jeffz | Dacvak: mine looks like this http://rafb.net/p/AJllnT70.html | 07:42 |
| zhaozhou | sudo* | 07:42 |
| Dacvak | jeffz: There are no resolutions listed | 07:42 |

| regel | MM2, just dont format ur /home -folder, back it up or something | 07:42 |
| DragonforceIV | Sorry to ask, I'm new at this... how do I run repair mode on a Vista disc? or run 'fix mbr' in console ? | 07:42 |
| itachi | Flannel: to the root of ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | CostaRicanQuaker: dmidecode will show you mb and model info | 07:42 |
| Flannel | itachi: no, to the same folder that you have the iso image in. | 07:43 |
| BeepII | How do I create a second user account? | 07:43 |
| zhaozhou | Flannel, I mean, why you should use gksudo or kdesu. | 07:43 |
| Flannel | BeepII: Go to users and groups | 07:43 |

| Flannel | BeepII: yes, you'll need to click unlock | 07:44 |
| BeepII | there a way to make it not do that? | 07:44 |

| itachi | mojo: no -.- | 07:45 |

| bazhang | mojo, he does not understand the md5 iso links | 07:46 |

| itachi | mojo: iight | 07:46 |
| juan | Expl0ited: video cards | 07:46 |
| cernex | bazhang, D-Link WUA 1340 | 07:46 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | CostaRicanQuaker: that is not limited by your CPU only | 07:46 |
| cyphase | although it might be better to dim the desktop, so as to indicate to the user what's going on | 07:46 |
| zhaozhou | Expl0ited, depends on the chipset, right? | 07:47 |
| bazhang | cernex, yes, that is the brand name; we need the chipset | 07:47 |
| itachi | bazhang: so do i just give up? ^.^ | 07:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ushimitsudoki1: how do i find out what motherboard i have? | 07:47 |
| Expl0ited | juan: video cards what, explain more clearly. | 07:47 |
| cernex | I already managed to pull most of this up: http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/network-internet/wireless-networking/326041-wua-1340-tutorial.html | 07:47 |

| BeepII | I mean, it won't stay unlocked | 07:47 |
| cernex | bazhang: Were can I check the chipset? | 07:47 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | CostaRicanQuaker: you will have to open it up and look i suppose | 07:47 |
| bazhang | itachi, then consider posting to the ubuntuforums.org | 07:48 |
| Expl0ited | BeepII: its not inteneded to. | 07:48 |

| regel | bouma, avira | 07:51 |
| bouma | jeffz: right, but still | 07:51 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | seth1232: hmm i only see a size, not the capacity - must be a slight difference there for some reason. i will have to read up on the command | 07:51 |
| juan | bazhang: yes | 07:51 |
| BeepII | what if there isn't? | 07:51 |
| zhaozhou | Scorp_, WHat you could do, but that could be a bit advanced, is to strace it. | 07:51 |

| cernex | bazhang: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c04 D-Link System | 07:52 |
| jeffz | bouma: ah, well in that case I'd recommend you backup any data you want to keep and reinstall to make sure it's gone completely | 07:52 |
| bazhang | cernex, and a search of those turns up what chipset? | 07:52 |
| Scorp_ | i think i'll try restarting the X first.. that solves most of the probs... hehe | 07:52 |
| zhaozhou | Scorp_, Can try whatever the others are saying first, see if you find a better solution. :-) | 07:52 |
| bouma | regel: jeffz, basically i have a system partion. i made a image level backup with dd just after it was installed. | 07:53 |

| juan | bazhang: ok, thanks | 07:53 |
| seth1232 | CostaRicanQuaker: ushimitsudoki1: sorry run it as super user, sudo lshw -C memory if you don't run it as root it won't show | 07:54 |
| BeepII | regel: I think USB... I'm not sure what the diff is but it plugs into a USB port. | 07:54 |
| BeepII | so if that's the diff then it's a USB | 07:54 |
| zhaozhou | Scorp_, I doubt it. | 07:54 |
| bazhang | bouma, why are you worried about viruses with linux | 07:54 |
| regel | BeepII: it's a usb, let me see where u could paste some info for me | 07:54 |
| Scorp_ | zhaozhou: I clicked the icon and the system monitor shows more than 25 processes of amarok, each around 1.1 MB | 07:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | seth1232: how do i run it as superuser? i already did it with sudo that's the output | 07:54 |
| jeffz | bazhang: windows viruses can run on GNU/Linux | 07:55 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | seth1232: no no i ran it sudo the first time - I only see size for my memory, not capacity .. strange that | 07:55 |
| zhaozhou | Scorp_, The reason it's hanging is most probably when it's opening a file, whether it's the audiodriver, the song or perhaps any library. | 07:55 |
| bazhang | jeffz, no | 07:55 |
| jeffz | bazhang: yes. | 07:55 |
| regel | BeepII: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ paste the command dmesg there | 07:55 |

| zhaozhou | Scorp_, Kill every single one, then start amarok again. | 07:55 |
| seth1232 | CostaRicanQuaker: ushimitsudoki1: must depend on your chipset/bios etc... then I do see it refrenced as being able to show total memory on some google results | 07:55 |

| alistair_ | Derander, funny but when I use Linux Firefox my pages dont come through properly must be desktop fonts or summat | 08:42 |
| zcat[2] | command for what? dhcp via net config thingy fails.. via dhclient also fails. I just don't see any reply | 08:42 |
| cernex | bazhang, what do I write on interface, then? | 08:42 |
| bazhang | cernex, pastebin the exact command you gave | 08:42 |
| cernex | bazhang, but what about <interface>? | 08:42 |
| amavis | zcat: have you got any firewall running on your laptop? in case some settings have got screwed up? | 08:43 |
| bazhang | zcat[2], this is dsl or cable? is there a router? | 08:43 |
| alistair_ | inflex, do a Google for WYSIWYG editor should bring it up it only costs around $25 and if you dont want to learn html its pretty good | 08:43 |
| MAEZ_199 | Does anybody found hardy random freeze? | 08:43 |
| jeffz | MAEZ_199: depends on hardware and drivers | 08:43 |
| alistair_ | inflex, is gvim a linux one? | 08:43 |
| inflex | alistair_: oh, I'm fine myself - I'm a hardcore vi [ab]user | 08:43 |
| zcat[2] | amavis: running off the live DVD to eliminate any possible misconfiguration. same problem still | 08:43 |
| bazhang | cernex, you are not paying attention; this is the second time you have asked that---->wlan0 | 08:43 |
| MAEZ_199 | I'm use Acer aspire 5580 LAPtop. | 08:43 |
| inflex | alistair_: vi, vim, gvim... it's all vi ... which a lot of people hate initially | 08:43 |
| jeffz | hi inflex | 08:44 |
| inflex | alistair_: it's not really WYSIWIG at all in fact... it's all pure native text :D | 08:44 |
| cernex | bazhang, just wanted to be sure | 08:44 |
| BeepII | regel: I still don't have permission | 08:44 |
| alistair_ | inflex, what the heck is vi vim? | 08:44 |
| inflex | hi jeffz | 08:44 |
| zcat[2] | and it's the same wire I usually have plugged into my laptop which works just fine | 08:44 |
| inflex | wow... people don't know what vi or vim is : | 08:44 |
| inflex | :( | 08:44 |
| jeffz | inflex: reformed ##c user :) | 08:44 |
| MAEZ_199 | Can you explain which hardware/driver may be that problem? | 08:44 |
| cernex | bazhang, done, and nothing happened | 08:45 |
| inflex | alistair_: vi is a fundamental but exceptionally powerful text editor | 08:45 |
| inflex | alistair_: did you ever get to use WordPerfect 5.1 ? | 08:45 |
| cernex | bazhang, asked for my password, and that was it | 08:45 |
| jhattara | alistair_, which is incredibly hard to use for an unexperienced user | 08:45 |
| bazhang | cernex, pastebin the exact command you gave | 08:45 |
| RensoreK | MAEZ_199: Check your system is stable, run Ubuntu with the memx86 test I think | 08:45 |
| inflex | jeffz: and now you're abusing Ubuntu? | 08:45 |
| BeepII | regel: ok, I'm gonna change the permissions back | 08:45 |
| ogzy | is there an organizer for gnome that will enable me to schedule my events, check my calendar and so on, i have already evolution installed is that a buil in calendar, may i run it manually and any other suggestion for other software? | 08:45 |
| regel | BeepII: uh, that's reallyreally weird | 08:45 |
| BeepII | regel and see what happens when I restart. | 08:45 |
| regel | yep, sounds like a plan to me | 08:46 |
| BeepII | but first | 08:46 |
| BeepII | how do I make it automout? | 08:46 |
| cernex | bazhang, I did. Like I told you, it asked me for my passoword, and then it just gave me a cernex@cernex-desktop:~$ again | 08:46 |
| alistair_ | inflex, if I was going to go further I would go for Joomla which I have been told by many is really hot. | 08:46 |
| jeffz | inflex: nah, I joined when my upgrade started segfaulting and throwing asserts | 08:46 |
| bazhang | cernex, did you successfully associate the ap | 08:46 |
| alistair_ | inflex, yes I did use wp many years ago sounds like you may be of my vintage (a good year) | 08:47 |
| inflex | jeffz: nasty...I'm here because my father's Ubuntu box isn't doing nice things with the graphics card/screen | 08:47 |
| MAEZ_199 | I was use mem. test, it's pass ok. | 08:47 |
| cernex | bazhang, tell me how | 08:47 |
| inflex | alistair_: well, vi is a bit like how WP5.1 appears... blank screen on startup... :) | 08:47 |
| RensoreK | Bye, I know when I reboot GRUB will error 15 me, brb | 08:47 |
| bazhang | inflex, alistair_ jeffz please chat elsewhere | 08:47 |
| Amir-B | persian ubuntu ! www.ubuntu.ir | 08:47 |
| inflex | it's also a modal-editor, eg, it has a command mode and an edit mode.. brutal to learn on... very fast once you know it | 08:47 |
| jeffz | inflex: 2 hours later I'm still here, dizzy with some sort of flu thing trying to figure things out, well, I discovered more than an hour ago that itwas perl crashing, looks like something broke with the glibc upgrade | 08:47 |
| alistair_ | bazhang, fair enough! | 08:47 |
| inflex | sorry bazhang | 08:48 |
| cernex | bazhang, maybe I did | 08:48 |

| Amir-B | bazhang: ok | 08:49 |
| bazhang | cernex, check in iwconfig that it is set | 08:49 |
| inflex | alistair_: also very narrow dynamic range - installing a cheap 16 bit PCI card fixes a lot of that | 08:49 |
| alistair_ | inflex, do you have audio volume controle enabled - I just want to check if my theory is right | 08:49 |

| cernex | bazhang, ok, will use pastebin next time | 08:50 |
| bazhang | cernex, to paste.ubuntu.com not here | 08:50 |
| alistair_ | inflex, OK I see lots of folks are having probs and I found by enabling the system volume control and winding up front has fixed everything up (for me) | 08:50 |

| amavis | kartagis: yes | 08:51 |
| wols | Kartagis: yes but it might delete all other partitions | 08:51 |
| bazhang | newman0709, which version of ubuntu, ff, flash | 08:51 |
| Kartagis | wols, I don't mind that, I copied data | 08:52 |
| sjovan | Kartagis: run ubuntu from the cd and use gparted... | 08:52 |
| newman0709 | ff 2.0 ,ubuntu 7.04 , flash 9.0 | 08:52 |
| Kartagis | amavis, thanks | 08:52 |

| regel | !automount | 08:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about automount | 08:52 |
| amavis | kartagis: but as wols said, becareful if you have other partitions, if it detects an existing windows partition, options are to resize and whole disk which will wipe it, so just becareful around that part | 08:53 |
| bazhang | cernex, now : sudo dhclient wlan0 | 08:53 |

| bazhang | cernex, run it a couple more times | 08:54 |

| Kartagis | another question. does ubuntu have a script like pastebinit which will paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com? | 08:54 |

| alistair_ | styyle; whats happening? | 08:56 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, nope, just ask away with as much detail as possible :) | 08:56 |
| styyle | i plug it in, yet it is not processed correctly | 08:57 |
| bazhang | styyle, you were given a forums link; what errors did you get from that | 08:57 |
| styyle | they were too old to be relevant | 08:57 |
| cernex | bazhang, done | 08:57 |
| styyle | several hotplug fixes | 08:57 |
| bazhang | styyle, how do you know if you did not try them | 08:57 |
| earthian | Hello, I have a problem with sound: sound is duplicated in my headphones and the internal speaker (laptop). The headphones switch/slider in the sound mixer is not working (does not adjust headphones loudness) and the front does adjust both headphones and the speaker but not only the speaker. How could I fix this? I have amili Li1818 Laptop with snd-hda-intel (ALC883) soundcard. | 08:57 |
| styyle | i did | 08:57 |
| Kahless | I am trying to use an unbuntu live CD version 7.10 usually it loads teh linux kernal pretty damn quick but on this DELL XPS 410 is has been over half and hour and is onyl at 49% | 08:57 |
| bazhang | styyle, and what errors did you get | 08:57 |
| styyle | it suggested copying files to /usr/lib/hotplug | 08:57 |
| styyle | this folder does not exist because hotplug itsnt used anymore | 08:58 |
| styyle | i tried and installed bluez-firmware1.2, but it changed nothing | 08:58 |
| BeepII | regel guess what. | 08:58 |
| BeepII | my other flash drive works fine. 0.o | 08:58 |
| BeepII | more weirdnes | 08:58 |
| Kahless | Is there a reason why it could be taking forever to load the kernal off the cd I mean is a very recent computer | 08:58 |
| alistair_ | Kahless, have you tried another burn of the cdrom? | 08:58 |
| styyle | the dongle works correctly in vista, as of a few minutes ago | 08:59 |
| Kahless | I am making one now, i have used this curent burn for the past year on about 10 computers but it could be old or damaged by heat | 08:59 |
| Kahless | i suppose | 08:59 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok, what now? | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, if that machine came out after 7.10 did then it probably is missing a driver. Might be better getting and using 8.04.1 | 08:59 |
| alistair_ | Kahless, I find CD are really not as robust as they are made out to be likely is cause of your problem | 08:59 |
| styyle | any suggestions? | 09:00 |
| bazhang | cernex, how far away are you from the router? | 09:00 |
| bazhang | cernex, and is essid hidden on it? | 09:00 |
| cernex | The reuter is just a couple of centimeters from my PC | 09:00 |
| Kahless | I did'nt consider that I am burnign the latest version right now, I am trying to fix this Windows XP home is has a corrupted vgaoem.fon file | 09:00 |
| cernex | bazhang, The reuter is just a couple of centimeters from my PC | 09:00 |
| bazhang | Kahless, turn off quiet and splash in the kernel you are booting to see the errors | 09:01 |
| newman0709 | bazhang, could you tell me why the ff crashes, when i watch the flash video | 09:01 |
| cernex | bazhang, and I don't know what you mean by "essid hidden on it" | 09:01 |
| === juan__ is now known as juan | ||
| Kahless | How do i do that I'm a linux noob | 09:01 |
| bazhang | cernex, you need to connect to router and set it to not hidden (using ethernet) | 09:01 |
| newman0709 | bazhang,how should i resolve the problem | 09:02 |
| bazhang | newman0709, this is server? | 09:02 |
| cernex | bazhang, Well, I'm currently plugged directly to the reuter/modem by a USB cable | 09:02 |
| newman0709 | no ,my desktop | 09:02 |
| styyle | bazhang, do you have any more help for my bluetooth problam? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | Kahless: k'plah, turn off the wirless card with the kill switch | 09:02 |
| newman0709 | bazhang, it's my desktop | 09:03 |
| Kahless | oh yeah it does have a wirless card | 09:03 |
| Kahless | i forgot about that error | 09:03 |
| ikonia | Kahless: disable it with the kill switch | 09:03 |
| BeepII | what's the terminal command to un-mkdir? | 09:03 |
| bazhang | newman0709, any reason not to use gutsy? bad luck with feisty here all around | 09:03 |

| cernex | bazhang, oh, I get it now... | 09:04 |
| Kartagis | I'm looking for a program that will act like a GPS client, | 09:04 |
| bazhang | BeepII, do NOT do that | 09:04 |
| styyle | can anyone help me with a bluetooth dongle problem? | 09:04 |
| ikonia | BeepII: that would destroy your file system potentially | 09:04 |
| ikonia | BeepII: you just want rm -r $your_directory | 09:04 |
| Kartagis | but do I need a GPS device for that? | 09:04 |
| cernex | bazhang, still, you want me to plug via an ethernet cable to my reuter? | 09:04 |
| ikonia | BeepII: as in the one you want to delete | 09:04 |
| Kahless | should i yank the wireless card and try again? | 09:05 |
| cernex | bazhang, that's going to be a little hard, as I have no ethernet modem myself | 09:05 |

| ikonia | BeepII: that looks good | 09:05 |
| arethius | what's a good IRC client? | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Kahless: there is a kill switch on the laptop to disable wirless | 09:05 |
| BeepII | regel was helping metry & set up my flash drive but it didn't work | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Kahless: flick the kill switch | 09:05 |

| ikonia | Kahless: I thought that was a 15'' laptop ? | 09:07 |
| Kahless | Dell XPS 410 Desktop Computer (Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz/500GB/2GB) | 09:07 |
| ikonia | strawbeRRy_fieLd: use the restricted drivers nvidia driver | 09:07 |
| Kahless | Its not that exactly | 09:07 |
| DistroJockey | strawbeRRy_fieLd, right-click it and choose Save rather than clicking it | 09:07 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | i dont have "save" but only save link as | 09:08 |
| Kahless | so should i turn off the computer and yank the card then? | 09:08 |
| DistroJockey | strawbeRRy_fieLd, that's the one | 09:08 |
| Kahless | its but about an hour now and is at 64% lol last time i did this it loaded in about a minute | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Kahless: well, I was going to suggest that the delay was the network stalling on a dhcp request | 09:08 |
| DistroJockey | strawbeRRy_fieLd, but you should try ikonia's suggestion first if you havn't | 09:09 |
| ikonia | Kahless: but an hour is a long time | 09:09 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | DistroJockey: it doesnt let me save the file itself but only the .aspx link.... | 09:09 |
| ikonia | strawbeRRy_fieLd: use the restriced drivers | 09:09 |

| strawbeRRy_fieLd | how? | 09:09 |
| earthian | o_O | 09:09 |
| Kahless | i mean i have it plugged into my router and it also has a wirles card installed w/o the wirless antenna | 09:09 |

| strawbeRRy_fieLd | only "save link as..." | 09:09 |
| ben__ | Is it possible to sync my phones pictures automatically via bluetooth | 09:09 |
| ikonia | strawbeRRy_fieLd: use the restriced drivers | 09:09 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | what are the restricted drivers? | 09:09 |
| Kahless | could it be hanging on the wirles card? | 09:09 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | and how do i install them? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | Kahless: try removing it | 09:10 |
| jeffz | ok, i figured out my problem, ubuntu didn't check which kernel i was using before attempting to upgrade glibc | 09:10 |
| jeffz | so it broke. | 09:10 |
| Kahless | worth a shot | 09:10 |
| ikonia | strawbeRRy_fieLd: system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 09:10 |
| bad_image | Hello, have I already told you that Ubuntu terribly sux? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | jeffz: why are you trying to update glibc ? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | jeffz: the pacakge manager will give you any updates you need | 09:10 |
| jeffz | ikonia: that's part of a distro upgrade | 09:10 |
| bazhang | bad_image, then this is the wrong channel for you | 09:10 |
| joot | troll alert | 09:10 |
| jeffz | bad_image: hello, I agree. it needs more work. | 09:11 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | im using kubuntu, dont think i have that | 09:11 |
| bad_image | and Debian even more, when a dull head retarded monkey (windows administrator) force someone to use it on the server | 09:11 |

| Shay | Hi | 09:12 |
| bazhang | jeffz, dont feed | 09:12 |
| Shay | I deleted somefrom thing that i backuped from windows and don't need it anymore and the trash says | 09:12 |
| ikonia | jeffz: thats fine, I know what your up to, although I'm surprised the running kernel would matter in that senario | 09:12 |
| jeffz | ikonia: if the kernel changes the abi for syscalls and glibc follows suite to match it, running the wrong kernel and glibc together will cause havok | 09:13 |
| Shay | There was an error deleting Desktop.ini. Error removing file: Permission denied | 09:13 |
| cernex | I think bazhang leaved... | 09:13 |
| ikonia | jeffz: I get that, but the dist upgrade does a force, which is how it gets past some of the incompatabilities between core thigns as you rightly suggest like glibc | 09:13 |
| bazhang | cernex, did you set to not hidden | 09:13 |
| earthian | Shay, remove that file as root | 09:13 |
| cernex | bazhang, how do I do that? | 09:14 |
| Shay | how do i remove it as root @earthian? | 09:14 |
| earthian | Shay, i.e. "sudo" | 09:14 |
| jeffz | ikonia: yeah, but the do-release-upgrade script should check which kernel I am using if it knows glibc is going to be upgraded else it breaks my system | 09:14 |
| Kahless | lol i believe that made it work | 09:14 |
| earthian | like sudo rm /path/to/Dekstop.ini | 09:14 |
| Kahless | its now hanging after i hit enter on start or Install Ubuntu | 09:14 |
| Shay | i'll try | 09:14 |
| ikonia | jeffz: ahhh your saying it "should" not "it did" | 09:14 |
| ikonia | jeffz: sorry, I miss-understood what you where initially saying | 09:14 |
| DistroJockey | strawbeRRy_fieLd, Save link as... works fine here *shrugs* | 09:15 |
| jeffz | ikonia: yes, I mean to say it should have checked and aborted, instead it broke my system | 09:15 |
| ikonia | jeffz: nope, I can appriciate that, I can see why it potentially should not do the force | 09:15 |
| Shay | well it's in the trash bin, and i cant move it to a folder somewhere else because the same error occurs | 09:15 |
| earthian | oh | 09:15 |
| Kahless | so I'm back to square one | 09:15 |
| shoto | 谁知道 oo怎么挂接postgresql数据库？ | 09:15 |
| Kahless | literally its hanging at 3% | 09:16 |
| ikonia | !cn | shoto | 09:16 |

| cernex | bazhang, I don't know how to do that, I'm afraid | 09:16 |
| cernex | bazhang, I think it is "not secret" already, to begin with | 09:16 |
| cernex | bazhang, how can I check that, even? | 09:16 |
| bazhang | cernex, open a java enabled browser | 09:17 |
| cernex | ok, done | 09:17 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok, done | 09:17 |
| bazhang | now type in 192.168.1.1 | 09:17 |
| Shay | I believe the direct path to the trash is ~/.local/share/Trash? | 09:17 |
| Shay | then /files | 09:18 |
| BeepII | Ok, everyone who helped me, thanks. I finally got it to work by going on another computer & putting some files on the flash drive. 0.o anyways, good night | 09:18 |
| earthian | Shay, if you would open that desktop.ini file with a text editor would you see something ubuntuish or windowish in there?? | 09:18 |
| Shay | windows, it starts with [.ShellClassInfo] and so on | 09:18 |
| cernex | bazhang, I have the browser ready. What's next? | 09:19 |
| bazhang | type 192.168.1.1 | 09:19 |
| earthian | Shay, you could try chmod that damn file tho.. in ~/.local/shared/Trash/files | 09:19 |
| earthian | and then remove it with "empty trash" thing in Nautilus or so | 09:20 |
| Kahless | ANy more hints for me? | 09:20 |
| Shay | hmm ok | 09:20 |
| geev | looking for any one who worked with crontab to help me | 09:20 |
| bazhang | Kahless, still trying to install? | 09:21 |
| Kahless | Yep | 09:21 |
| Kahless | yanking the wirless card didn't work | 09:21 |
| Shay | well the folder isn't visible on ~/.local/shared/Trash/files, only the trash:/// thing | 09:21 |
| bazhang | Kahless, hardy? livecd? | 09:21 |
| Shay | the file isn't chmod-able from there | 09:21 |
| tenbytes | is there something better to putty? | 09:21 |
| tenbytes | that has tabs | 09:21 |
| tenbytes | and has better copy/paste support | 09:22 |
| earthian | Shay, it should be there | 09:22 |
| Kahless | lovecd | 09:22 |
| geev | i set crontab to execute my script but no success | 09:22 |
| Kahless | livecd lol | 09:22 |
| bazhang | Kahless, hardy? | 09:22 |
| Shay | let me check again | 09:22 |
| Kahless | idk | 09:22 |
| earthian | Shay, maybe that folder does not exist anymore and the trash thing shows it by mistake? | 09:22 |
| Kahless | how do i tell | 09:22 |
| magic_ninja | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=1M (warning DO NOT RUN THIS COMMAND) would this command be the proper syntax to write zeros to hdb? | 09:22 |
| Shay | nah, its still here | 09:22 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, you said 7.10 earlier didn't you? | 09:22 |
| bazhang | Kahless, where and when did you dl it | 09:22 |
| earthian | and where is that desktop.ini file? | 09:22 |
| Shay | what's the correct chmod code from the terminal? chmod a + x? | 09:23 |
| Shay | its in a my pictures folder in the trash bin. | 09:23 |
| Kahless | Someone gave it to me its version 7.10 | 09:23 |
| earthian | Shay, chmod ~/.local/shared/Trash/files/My\ Pictures/Desktop.ini | 09:23 |
| earthian | prolly.. | 09:23 |
| earthian | :) | 09:23 |
| bazhang | Kahless, how about trying the alternate cd | 09:24 |
| Kahless | Apparrently I am failign pretty hard tonight | 09:24 |
| earthian | oh | 09:24 |
| bazhang | !alternate | Kahless | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Kahless: 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 | 09:24 |
| earthian | ermm. sorru, add 777 after the chmod | 09:24 |
| Kahless | Well i dl'ed 8.04 from unbuntu site | 09:24 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, and didn't you say you were using it to fix Windows, not installing it? | 09:24 |
| Shay | hmm thanks, but i dont see anything , not files or folders in the /files directory | 09:24 |
| Shay | i just tried to delete it normally from the files folder, but its still in the trash bin | 09:24 |
| Kahless | burnt it and its saing misssing operating system | 09:24 |
| michal_ | hi. does anyone know if it is possible to start initx with an init.d script as a normal using using sudo? | 09:24 |
| michal_ | or any other way | 09:24 |
| Kahless | yeah i am trying to use it to acess teh hd | 09:24 |
| earthian | Shay, then your trash is empty | 09:24 |
| Shay | maybe it's like you said that | 09:25 |
| bazhang | aha | 09:25 |
| Shay | should i clean out /home/username/.local/share/Trash/info? | 09:25 |
| earthian | Shay, remove things from that info then | 09:25 |
| cernex | bazhang, what do I do with the browser? | 09:25 |
| Shay | argh it all comes back to the my pictures folder, it seems some jpgs and etc are have to be chmod too.. somehow | 09:26 |
| michal_ | sudo -u michal xinit gives me X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. even thought that user can run xinit | 09:26 |
| geev | dears crontab is a prob to me ya help please | 09:26 |
| bazhang | cernex, type 192.168.1.1 | 09:26 |
| === MoLE__ is now known as MoLE_ | ||
| earthian | geev, just ask | 09:26 |
| Kahless | Do i need to do something to allow me to boot from the ISO? | 09:27 |
| geev | i set crontab to execute my script but no success | 09:27 |
| cernex | bazhang, oh, that doesn't work. I need to type http://homeportal | 09:27 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, burn it to CD and set BIOS to boot from CD | 09:27 |
| Zeit|awy_ | Kahless: no | 09:27 |
| Kahless | okay i jsut need to burn the ISO to a disk | 09:28 |
| earthian | geev, did you set up the time correctly? whats the line from there crontab? | 09:28 |
| Kahless | okay last time i clicked somethign saying make disk bootable and tried that I'll do it that way now | 09:28 |
| Kahless | lol sorry I'm in NY and its 4am here | 09:28 |
| Zeit|awy_ | but be sure to burn the ISO the right way, some people brin the ISO on a data-disc, which is not quite right.. ^^ | 09:28 |
| cernex | bazhang, but, in any case, I'm there | 09:28 |
| geev | <earthian yes and for test i set it to run this time but no effect | 09:29 |
| cernex | bazhang, what do I do now? | 09:29 |
| Shay | argh i tried sudo rm -Rf * in the ./local/share/Trash/files and still there | 09:29 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, the iso if burnt as an image will have a boot part already | 09:29 |
| Shay | i'll try chowning the files | 09:29 |
| earthian | Shay, remove Trash folder from the local/shared/ and restart gnome (maybe that would help?) | 09:29 |
| bazhang | cernex, check the settings and set essid to not hidden (or check that it is not) also check if mac filtering is on or not | 09:29 |
| Kahless | okay | 09:29 |
| ishbibenob | I have a 250 GB HD on Ubuntu Hardy that I cannot use because of permissions? any body have any ideas? | 09:29 |
| Shay | maybe | 09:29 |
| earthian | and yes chowning could help | 09:29 |
| bazhang | cernex, you will then need to reset the router | 09:30 |
| Kahless | Before i waste more time waiting for this to burn this is the correct version right | 09:30 |
| Kahless | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011 | 09:30 |
| geev | <earthian> 17 ** * *root/home/geev8/mazoezi/synch.sh | 09:30 |
| Shay | for <username>:<username> do i put shay:shay? | 09:30 |
| bazhang | Kahless, that is the right one | 09:30 |
| Kahless | okay got scred thoght i need this Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. | 09:30 |
| earthian | Shay, yes | 09:30 |
| bazhang | Kahless, be sure to !md5 the iso | 09:30 |
| geev | <earthian> where synch.sh is my script file | 09:31 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, and if you are unsure about burning, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 09:31 |
| bazhang | Kahless, desktop means it is the right one | 09:31 |
| ishbibenob | I have tried using it through nautilus but to no avail | 09:31 |
| Kahless | k good | 09:31 |
| Kahless | So tired | 09:31 |
| bazhang | Kahless, get some rest; we will be here tomorrow :) | 09:32 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, yeah :) | 09:32 |
| Kahless | The person is moving to California tomarrow | 09:32 |
| Shay | hmm doesn't work | 09:32 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, :( | 09:32 |
| Kahless | and they cant afford to bring it into a shop | 09:32 |
| bazhang | okay; well we never sleep so lets carry on Kahless | 09:33 |
| DistroJockey | heh | 09:33 |
| Shay | i'll try deleting the trash folder and reboot | 09:33 |
| Kahless | lol i never sleep either | 09:33 |
| Shay | Thanks Earthian! | 09:33 |
| bazhang | :) | 09:33 |
| Shay | :D | 09:33 |
| earthian | np :S | 09:33 |
| cernex | bazhang, ESSID difusion is on (Ergo, it isn't hidden nor private) | 09:33 |
| Kahless | Whats with computers these days coudl have fixed this damn computer if dell would have included a damn ide port on teh mobo | 09:33 |
| cernex | bazhang, and I don't see antything related to mac filtering | 09:34 |
| LSD|Ninja | Kahless: PATA is dying | 09:34 |
| LSD|Ninja | Kahless: Dell made the right call dropping the PATA port | 09:34 |
| LSD|Ninja | Kahless: Is it an Intel system we're talking about? | 09:34 |
| Kahless | Eh not for me coudl haev fixed this already if the didn't | 09:34 |
| Kahless | yes | 09:34 |
| bazhang | cernex, okay; now when you are trying to connect wirelessly you are also connected via usb? is there another computer that will allow you to troubleshoot this box | 09:35 |
| LSD|Ninja | Kahless: then Dell DEFINITELY made the right call dropping the PATA port | 09:35 |
| zcat[1] | so, any good theories why a laptop would fail to get a dhcp reply from the server even though it works perfectly (and can talk to the same machine running dhcp-server) with a static address? -- there are no firewalls involved on either machine btw; | 09:35 |
| dOT3Ch | Can someone help me get my unresponsive usb drive to work again? It doesn't mount or show up on the system anymore. So I'm thinking about trying to re-format it somehow | 09:35 |
| cernex | bazhang, there isn't another computer close, I'm afraid, and I have tried both | 09:35 |
| Kahless | Educate me | 09:35 |
| cernex | bazhang, with the same results: utter failure | 09:35 |
| LSD|Ninja | Kahless: The Intel south bridge lacks native PATA support now so most vendors cover the shortfall with a crappy chip that causes more trouble than its worth | 09:35 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, I usually just pull the drive out and plug it into my USB to IDE/SATA adapter and stick it in my working machine | 09:35 |
| alistair_ | Amarok analyzer - can that be made full screen anyone know? | 09:35 |
| cernex | bazhang, here, this is what I have done: http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/network-internet/wireless-networking/326041-wua-1340-tutorial.html | 09:35 |
| Kahless | Yeah i wish i had one | 09:36 |
| DistroJockey | yeah, they be handy :) | 09:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | Kahless: consider yourself lucky that you don't | 09:36 |
| zcat[1] | I got a usb to pata/sata adapter recently. handiest thing ever | 09:36 |
| cernex | bazhang, I'm just misssing one LAST thing, I KNOW | 09:36 |
| Kahless | I have a computer that was reformatted stupidly and trying to recover the data and this computer with a corrupted vgaoem.fon file and who knows what else after a ligthening hit | 09:36 |
| c1rcuit | :( ubuntu keeps randomly freezing when im browsing the internet | 09:36 |
| bazhang | cernex, that is all done; the bit that you need to try is connecting without the usb connected (ie try the sudo dhclient wlan0) | 09:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | Anyone here ever had to deal with the JMicron PATA chip? I'm sure you can back me up here :) | 09:36 |
| Shay | Hmm the folder is still there | 09:37 |
| Kahless | If i coudl jsut plug either hard drive into the otehr compute ri could fix both | 09:37 |
| cernex | bazhang, no, it doesn't works | 09:37 |
| fanrith | I'm also having trouble with a USB drive that won't mount. It's FAT32 and it works in Windows (and I need it to be able to share data, so I can't just EXT it). I have another USB drive that will automount in my Ubuntu. So I'm just confused. | 09:37 |
| bazhang | cernex, it was not associated before; now it is. | 09:37 |
| Kahless | But one computer is pre-sata and only has ide the other is post ide and onyl has sata | 09:37 |
| cernex | bazhang, really? | 09:37 |
| cernex | Ok, lemme try | 09:37 |
| geev | how do i set crontab to execute my sript file | 09:37 |
| bazhang | cernex, try to ping the router | 09:37 |
| bazhang | cernex, no wait | 09:37 |
| bazhang | cernex, type : ping 192.168.1.1 | 09:38 |
| dOT3Ch | fanrith, let me know if you figure it out | 09:38 |
| fanrith | Sure thing. | 09:38 |
| earthian | geev, i dont think you need that "root" thing | 09:38 |
| Shay | @earthian: the trash folder isn't back hmm | 09:38 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, may I PM you? | 09:39 |
| earthian | geev, take a look at http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/basiccron.shtml | 09:39 |
| Kahless | yeah sure | 09:39 |

| earthian | o_O | 09:40 |
| ishbibenob | anybody know how to enable a hard drives permissions in Hardy | 09:40 |
| Shay | the pictures folder does not show up in infos or files under /.localTrash | 09:40 |
| cernex | bazhang, no, it just timed out | 09:40 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: fstab i think | 09:40 |
| fanrith | magic_ninja, I've used shred for that before. There may be a better one, though. | 09:40 |
| Shay | only the trash:\\\ thing you find by pressing the applet button in the panel | 09:40 |
| moldy | hi | 09:40 |
| cernex | bazhang, here's what I think I'm missing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=270756 | 09:40 |
| ishbibenob | in terminal? | 09:40 |
| earthian | Shay, try finding it | 09:41 |
| earthian | maybe its somewhere else | 09:41 |
| KenBW2 | i did apt-get upgrade and it tells me "The following packages have been kept back:". What does it mean? | 09:41 |
| moldy | trying to run lire on an ubuntu system: complains about "missing Omega 'lambda' command" -- but that command is there. any hints? | 09:41 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: no, /etc/fstab | 09:41 |
| bazhang | cernex, try bringing the wlan0 down and then back up | 09:41 |

| ishbibenob | ok | 09:41 |
| cernex | bazhang, wait, how do I do that? | 09:41 |
| Shay | is there a search tool? | 09:41 |
| Shay | tracker search tool doesnt work well | 09:42 |
| earthian | locate name | 09:42 |
| KenBW2 | Shay: yea, Files > Search | 09:42 |
| earthian | or what KenBW2 said | 09:42 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 forgive me for not following, but I cant find that? is it in the etc file in home? | 09:42 |
| Shay | Where is this "files"? Is it in the browser | 09:42 |
| KenBW2 | Shanix: Places sorry | 09:43 |
| Kahless | Um i burnt th iso directly from DL'ing it and it is not aloowing em to boot it | 09:43 |
| earthian | Shay, places :) | 09:43 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: oh, sorry. type in Terminal "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" | 09:43 |
| Kahless | I think sonic sucks | 09:43 |
| Shay | oh yes i see | 09:44 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, downloaded straight onto CD from web? | 09:44 |
| bazhang | sudo ifconfig wlan0 down cernex followed by sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 09:44 |
| Shay | i was looking in the file explorer :P lol | 09:44 |
| KenBW2 | Shay: whats up with Tracker? | 09:44 |
| Kahless | Yesi did somethign stupid didn't I | 09:44 |
| cernex | ok, done | 09:44 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, always best to save local then burn | 09:44 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok, done | 09:44 |
| Shay | i copied the BK folder i made on my ipod while i switched to ubuntu | 09:44 |
| Kahless | Well i mean i dl'ed it to desktop then burnt it to cd as it was on a data cd | 09:44 |
| cernex | bazhang, checked the links I posted? | 09:44 |
| Shay | then copied it to my desktop, thus having a BK folder on my desktop, then i deleted the one ON THE ipod | 09:45 |
| bazhang | cernex, check iwconfig again | 09:45 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, ahh. | 09:45 |
| Shay | the search tool didn't find any that was on the trash bin | 09:45 |
| Shay | but on the normal desktop folders | 09:45 |
| KenBW2 | Shay: lol, dont think itd be set up for trash | 09:45 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, see this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 09:45 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: how you getting on? | 09:45 |
| Shay | lol | 09:45 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 it is set to defaults and it is vfat whereas the others are ext3 | 09:45 |
| Kahless | Yeah I'll try dl'ing that progream | 09:46 |
| cernex | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/39653/plain/ | 09:46 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: do you know what to do with that file? | 09:46 |
| Shay | i wonder if the trash bin displays it but it doesnt even exist anymore | 09:46 |
| Shay | how can i clear the trash bin if this is so? | 09:46 |
| ishbibenob | not really, I see that my other identical drive is also set to defaults but it is ext3 and I have no problems using it | 09:46 |
| bazhang | sudo iwconfig <interface> essid "ESSID_IN_QUOTES" cernex | 09:46 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: that makes two of us :) | 09:47 |
| ishbibenob | one has my home and everything on it, the other is sitting there unused, and they are identical drives | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:47 |
| ishbibenob | really? | 09:47 |
| ishbibenob | bummer | 09:47 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: i can give you basic ideas, but i dont know fully how to play with it | 09:47 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: what are you trying to acheive? | 09:47 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok, done | 09:47 |
| cernex | bazhang, really, you should check the links I posted, dude | 09:48 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, and don't skip the MD5 checking step | 09:48 |
| ishbibenob | ok, do you know what the diff is between ext3 and vfat, I am trying to being able to use it, place music and videos and whatever on it | 09:48 |
| cernex | bazhang, they have almost all of the info in there | 09:48 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: prefix messages with the peron's name youre talking to :) | 09:48 |
| Finnish_ | How do I automount my windows-partitions on every startup? | 09:48 |
| cernex | bazhang, if anything, I just don't know how to read it, :/ | 09:48 |
| bazhang | cernex, I did; better to get the rt73 drivers than ndiswrapper imo | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | Finnish_ | 09:48 |
| ubottu | Finnish_: 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 | 09:48 |
| earthian | Finnish, you would want to have them in /etc/fstab | 09:48 |
| ishbibenob | when I had it built two 250 GB drives were put in, one had Ubuntu installed on it the other just there | 09:49 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok... | 09:49 |
| cernex | bazhang, so, what do you want me to do now? | 09:49 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 so one works the other doesn't | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Finnish_: if its ntfs formatted and you want write access you'll need ntfs-3g | 09:49 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: ext3 is a linux format which is best for installing Ubuntu on. Windows cant read it. vfat (FAT) is a universal format which all OSs vcan read/write, and it best for files | 09:49 |
| Shay | hmm this might work http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2219215&postcount=21 but nothing is displayyed in my trash files folder wtf | 09:49 |
| bazhang | cernex, go to serial monkey site and get the latest | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !ntfs-3g | Finnish_ | 09:49 |
| ubottu | Finnish_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 09:49 |
| cernex | bazhang, lastest what? | 09:49 |
| Kahless | damn it okay i wont skip the step | 09:49 |
| earthian | Shay, is your ipod connected to the PC? | 09:49 |
| KenBW2 | Shay: sure it's not in Root's trash? | 09:49 |
| bazhang | cernex, drivers | 09:49 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 you have any idea why defaults would work for one but not the other? | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, no point burning a broken image :) | 09:50 |
| Shay | no, i checked both, but i know its supposed to be in my user';s | 09:50 |
| Shay | yes my ipod is connected | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: good place for an ipod :) | 09:50 |
| Shay | oh it might be in the .trash folder on the ipod | 09:50 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: agreed | 09:50 |
| earthian | Shay, maybe its in there somekind of a trash? | 09:50 |
| earthian | yeah :) | 09:50 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: what are you trying to do | 09:50 |
| fanrith | Anyone have any thoughts on the problem I mentioned up above? | 09:50 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok, I'm there. What drivers am I looking for? The rt73 chipset ones? | 09:51 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 just trying to change permissions so I can put files on it, use it like a big Thumb drive | 09:51 |
| Shay | arghh again if i delete the trash-1000 folder, it says the same permission error | 09:51 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: onto which drive | 09:51 |
| bazhang | fanrith, shred? | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: i dont see any text, whats up? | 09:51 |
| bazhang | cernex, yes | 09:51 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: paste the contents on fstab to www.nomorepasting.com | 09:51 |
| Shay | maybe replug my ipod | 09:51 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 ok | 09:51 |
| Shay | discovery, if i unplug my ipod the trash bin goes back to empty, but if i plug it in it shows up again | 09:52 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| fanrith | Not shred, that was me helping someone else. | 09:52 |
| fanrith | The problem I'm having is with flash drive automount. | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | fanoh ok | 09:52 |
| fanrith | I have a flashdrive that automounts and one that doesn.t | 09:52 |
| cernex | bazhang, ok, downloaded them | 09:52 |
| cernex | bazhang, what now? | 09:52 |
| earthian | Shay, what filesystem is there on that ipod? | 09:52 |
| fanrith | The one that does is fat16, the one that doesn't is brand new and fat32. | 09:53 |
| earthian | vfat? | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: is it a similar drive? | 09:53 |
| bazhang | cernex, you will need to follow the steps in that forums link | 09:53 |
| Shay | i used to use it on windows itunes, so it probably NTFS | 09:53 |
| fanrith | As far as I know. | 09:53 |
| fanrith | I'm no expert. | 09:53 |
| earthian | hm | 09:53 |
| fanrith | Different makers. | 09:53 |
| Shay | ubuntu says msdos | 09:53 |
| OldToker | hi all got a problem with a drive of mine that show's up in the Places.. but I can't mount it? and I don't see an entry for it in fstab? can someone help? | 09:53 |
| fanrith | But the new one works in Windows. | 09:53 |
| cernex | bazhang, the second one, I suppose? | 09:53 |
| fanrith | So it's not broken outright. | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: you dont need to be, is it the same model and size? | 09:53 |
| bazhang | cernex, yes | 09:53 |
| fanrith | No. | 09:53 |
| cernex | bazhang, also, what post number? | 09:53 |
| === gerben is now known as gerbennn | ||

| biblio | hola | 09:53 |
| fanrith | Thanks. :) | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: ok, have you had this thing in a windows machine | 09:54 |
| earthian | Shay, copy things from that ipod soemwhere safe on the PC and format the ipod with some internal command of the ipod | 09:54 |
| fanrith | Yes. | 09:54 |
| Shay | internal command? | 09:54 |
| cernex | bazhang, post number 4? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: did you unplug it gracefully? | 09:54 |
| fanrith | Yes, I did. | 09:54 |
| === biblio is now known as teresa | ||
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 it is the sdb1 drive | 09:54 |
| moncojhr | yooo whats a good audio player for linux like foobar | 09:54 |
| earthian | something usually is under preferences->filesystem->format in ipod and other pods | 09:54 |
| Shay | songbird? | 09:54 |
| Shay | ahh earthian | 09:54 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: you dont have anything mounted to your home folder | 09:55 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2395871&postcount=1 cernex | 09:55 |
| Shay | but what if i lose my itunesDB data? | 09:55 |
| Shay | then songbird, floola won't work for example i think | 09:55 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 what do you mean? | 09:55 |
| Shay | might as well back that up | 09:55 |
| vegombrei | hi .. is there an equivalent software like download accelerator in ubuntu ? the thing is there is a feature in download accelerator that enables you to download all via dap that i really wish would be available in ubuntu | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: id do it again, make sure you use the remove device thingy in windows | 09:55 |
| David | Hi | 09:55 |
| === David is now known as Guest51862 | ||
| fanrith | Well, I did do that. And I had tried it in Linux before I ever used it in Windows. | 09:55 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: "ishbibenob one has my home and everything on it, the other is sitting there unused, and they are identical drives" | 09:55 |
| Guest51862 | This is kahless | 09:55 |
| fanrith | I only took it to Windows because I wanted to see if it would work there. | 09:55 |
| joaopinto | vegombrei, there are several download managers for linux | 09:55 |
| earthian | Shay, what if you would copy all stuff (except .trash) from ipod to hard disk and then after format back to ipod? (not sure) | 09:56 |
| Shay | i guess, i'll try.. | 09:56 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: none of those partitions/drives are mounted at /home | 09:56 |
| DIFH-iceroot | vegombrei: dowmthemall for firefox, wget, kwget | 09:56 |
| Guest51862 | Decided to log onto the compter I am burning the CD on so i dont have to run back and forth | 09:56 |
| DistroJockey | fanrith, wouldn't happen to be a U3 flash drive would it? | 09:56 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 one of these my ubuntu Hardy is installed on | 09:56 |
| fanrith | No - Corsair. | 09:56 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | hi my monitor is "unknown" how do i make it recognize it? | 09:56 |
| DistroJockey | fanrith, ahh, good | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: ok, well try there and if its still no good run mount in terminal, you should see the mountings, one will look like your stick | 09:56 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 that is what I was getting at, somehow I am able to use my computer on this thing | 09:56 |
| Shay | ubuntu doesn't come with a reformat feature does it? | 09:56 |
| cernex | bazhang, and after I have done all that, the thing should work now? | 09:56 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: ah right i see. yea, /dev/sda1 | 09:57 |
| earthian | Shay, it does but i would use the ipod's one | 09:57 |
| fanrith | I've managed to mount it manually but it doesn't let me write to it. | 09:57 |
| bazhang | cernex, hope so | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Shay: reformat in what way? | 09:57 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: and oure trying to do hat? | 09:57 |
| fanrith | And even that took an unusual amount of work. | 09:57 |
| vegombrei | joaopinto: do they have the feature of download all with dap when you right click on a web page ? | 09:57 |
| KenBW2 | what* | 09:57 |
| cernex | bazhang, lol, so do I | 09:57 |
| Shay | i can try to delete .trash in windows too | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: can you write as root? | 09:57 |
| Shay | but i have no access currently hmm | 09:57 |
| fanrith | I'll try. | 09:57 |
| earthian | Shay, you could | 09:57 |
| Kahless | the guest is me | 09:57 |
| bazhang | cernex, just a fyi: I have had bad luck with ralink | 09:57 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 whats that? | 09:57 |
| joaopinto | vegombrei, what is dap ? | 09:57 |
| earthian | anyway... i cant help you anymore now. | 09:58 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 sorry noob here | 09:58 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: sorry, typos. what are you trying to change? | 09:58 |
| bazhang | !info ldap | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Package ldap does not exist in hardy | 09:58 |
| earthian | good luck Shay | 09:58 |
| Shay | ahh tyvm | 09:58 |
| cernex | bazhang, you know, that's odd: it says ralink... but I'm using D-Link... | 09:58 |
| vegombrei | joaopinto: download accelerator plus .. | 09:58 |
| sauvin | How to force fsck on reboot? | 09:58 |
| cernex | bazhang, there is a sligh chance I got the wrong chipset on my search... | 09:58 |
| joaopinto | vegombrei, that is just a fancy name for something that does multiple connections for a single download ? | 09:58 |
| cernex | bazhang, did you cheked, JIC? | 09:58 |
| fanrith | Okay, yes, I can. | 09:58 |
| earthian | I have a problem with sound: sound is duplicated in my headphones and the internal speaker (laptop). The headphones switch/slider in the sound mixer is not working (does not adjust headphones loudness) and the front does adjust both headphones and the speaker but not only the speaker. How could I fix this? I have amili Li1818 Laptop with snd-hda-intel (ALC883) soundcard. | 09:58 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 whenever I try to put anything on my drive (which I can see on my desktop) it says no permission I have tried through nautilus as well | 09:58 |
| bazhang | cernex, that seems to be correct | 09:59 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: which drive | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: then its mounted without user writing, it needs remounting | 09:59 |
| vegombrei | joaopinto: basically lets say i visit a site with like 50 images .. i wish to download em all ... so instead of individually clicking each i could simply right click and say download all | 09:59 |
| fanrith | How do I do that? | 09:59 |
| fanrith | I'll unmount first. | 09:59 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 both my 250GB hard drives I can see on my desktop, the one I can the Other I cant | 09:59 |
| Totakeke | Can someone help me with UNetBootin? I searched around and something is definitely supposed to happen when I boot up Linux from my flash drive, but it doesn't. | 09:59 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, Guest51862 : ahh, k :) | 09:59 |
| Kartagis | I'm looking for some program like Igo on Windows, for Linux. any idea what? | 09:59 |
| bazhang | cernex, though with the way they switch makers no way to be 100% sure these days | 09:59 |
| joaopinto | vegombrei, ah, for that you will be better serverd with a firefox addon | 09:59 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Kartagis: what is igo? | 09:59 |
| fanrith | Okay, I've umounted it. | 09:59 |
| Kahless | yeah i installed an irc client on a laptop | 09:59 |
| Shay | uhh earthian | 10:00 |
| Shay | i fixed it in ubuntu | 10:00 |
| vegombrei | joaopinto: whats the addon called ? | 10:00 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 one of them has my bin, lib and other filesystem files on it, the other is completely empty | 10:00 |
| fanrith | How do I mount so that my regular user can write? | 10:00 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: i dunno which is your 250GB one. do you know its /dev/xxxx name? | 10:00 |
| Kartagis | DIFH-iceroot, a GPS program | 10:00 |
| Shay | from the edit > properties of natuilus, you could set the behavior so that deleting files bypasses the trash bin, but it does NOT work. | 10:00 |
| Kahless | I found a system dogignotic menu buried in the boot setup menu | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: can you please direct your speech, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-405396.html | 10:00 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Kartagis: ah ok, sorry dont know | 10:00 |
| Kartagis | but you don't need a GPS device to use it | 10:00 |
| Shay | so i found out press shift + delete which works a little differently and it deleted the .trash folder from the ipod | 10:00 |
| Shay | :) | 10:00 |
| Totakeke | Has anyone had any experience with UNetBootin or installing Linux onto a flash drive? (I've been to the wikis already, many times, no help) | 10:00 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 Actually I take that back, I cant drag and drop files on either | 10:00 |
| majnoon | have a crazy question | 10:00 |
| fanrith | Ah! Excellent. | 10:00 |
| fanrith | I had looked in forums and found nothing. | 10:01 |

| majnoon | what happen if try 64 ubuntu on a 32 bit machine ?? | 10:01 |

| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: youre having the problems with sdb1? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: you may want to try dosfsck -a /dev/sdb1 | 10:02 |
| Guest51862 | Ah this is Kahless btw | 10:02 |
| Totakeke | I've already been to both of those URLs, no help whatsoever. I need to speak to someone who's had experience with either UNetBootin or just installing it onto a flash drive in general (a persistent install, not a live install) | 10:02 |
| bazhang | Guest51862, more what you need | 10:02 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: i have | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | or whatever dev it is, to check the fs. you sure you arent just pulling the stick out in windows. that can cause issues | 10:02 |
| bazhang | Guest51862, but offtopic here | 10:02 |
| Guest51862 | True | 10:02 |
| vegombrei | joaopinto: whats the addon called ? | 10:02 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 it looks like both, I just want to be able to freely place files on them, one I know I am able to (sda1) the other I cant | 10:02 |
| majnoon | but 32 bit run on 64 bit machine right ?? | 10:02 |
| Guest51862 | jsut waiting for the unbuntu to burn ll | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | majnoon: indeed | 10:03 |
| DIFH-iceroot | majnoon: yes | 10:03 |
| majnoon | this 64 bit machine ?/ | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | majnoon: what processor do you have? | 10:03 |
| cernex | bazhang, how am I supposed to paste that line of code in Step 4? | 10:03 |
| majnoon | cpu[2 x Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 3.00GHz] | 10:04 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 I dont understand how my system can be installed on sda1 and I cant place things on it from the Desktop level, If I go into home I can, so what do I need to do to the other drive to enable me to place and save files on it | 10:04 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 simply put use it | 10:04 |
| bazhang | cernex, you need to change it to what it was you dl'd (ie the name) | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ishbibenob: depends where /home is mounted | 10:04 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: you cant write anything to your home foldeR? | 10:04 |
| krazy-h_ | Hi there | 10:04 |
| Totakeke | Majnoon: I believe most, if not all, 64 bit processors also have 32 bit support. I don't think they make any consumer-grade just 64 bit processors. | 10:04 |

| fanrith | Action: I've only ever used it in Windows once and I was careful to remove it correctly. But the FSCK is bringing back what look like errors. | 10:05 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: right, what i have on my lappy is this: | 10:05 |
| fanrith | I have no idea what they mean though. | 10:05 |
| DistroJockey | majnoon, nope, it's 32bit | 10:05 |
| majnoon | it dual processor | 10:06 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: on the sdb1 line replace "defaults" with "uid=<your ubuntu user name>,owner,users,user" | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | majnoon, core2duo? | 10:06 |
| fanrith | Wow! | 10:06 |
| majnoon | think so | 10:06 |
| fanrith | That dosfsck fixed it! It mounts now! | 10:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | If it has EM64T then it's capable of running 64 bit | 10:06 |
| majnoon | was going to try the 64 disk | 10:06 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: for example, mine is "uid=kenneth,owner,users,user" | 10:06 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 | 10:06 |
| fanrith | I think it was screwed up right out of the box. This is the first time it has mounted in Linux. | 10:06 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 ok | 10:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | That includes certain P4s and PDs as well as Core2s | 10:07 |
| fanrith | ActionParsnip, thank you so much! | 10:07 |
| majnoon | if 32 bit puter it just no run right ? | 10:07 |
| cef | anyone got an idea on how acpi works in hardy, and how I can get it to actually talk to my h/drive and set the correct apm mode (using hdparm or whatever)?? | 10:07 |

| LSD|Ninja | majnoon: 32 bit will run, better than 64 bit for hte most part | 10:07 |
| Kahless | You were right the CD got fried in my car | 10:07 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 let me try that I will be back to let you know | 10:07 |

| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: let me know when youre back | 10:07 |
| Totakeke | Hmm, if I install Linux onto my flash drive, and it uses the flash drive for /tmp, the persistent linux installation guide thing says that putting /tmp on the flash drive might cause excessive wear and tear. Should I do it anyway? I mean, it'll last a good while, won't it? I won't be using it all the time. (This is more of a hypothetical question :P) | 10:08 |
| majnoon | ubuntu USED to have smp kernels | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: you can tab complete the names, just like you do in terminal | 10:08 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, glad you got a nice new one :) | 10:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | majnoon: SMP is the default now afaik | 10:08 |
| bazhang | majnoon, they are called generic now | 10:08 |
| majnoon | ok | 10:08 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: how you getting on with the USB install thing | 10:08 |
| Totakeke | fanrith: lol cool | 10:08 |
| Kahless | Yes now hopefully i dont get th eporlbem where it says windows is still running and wont let me mount hte drive | 10:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | majnoon: SMP works on uniprocessors and it means you don't have to do a kernel replacement on machines that have dual core, HT and whjatnot | 10:08 |
| krazy-h_ | I have a problem with the update manager i can't update in my ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron it say that"Not all updates can be installed" Please help me | 10:08 |

| Shay | good morning | 10:09 |
| fanrith | ActionParsnip: Oh! Tab-complete is wonderful. And it's working! I'll just make sure it still works in Windows now... | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Totakeke: its just that /tmp gets written to a fair bit and usb sticks have limited numbers of read/write cycles before they get unstable | 10:09 |
| Shay | finally my ipod works with floola, :D | 10:09 |
| majnoon | brb need smoke | 10:09 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: O_o | 10:09 |
| fanrith | ActionParsnip: Thanks for all your help! | 10:09 |
| bazhang | krazy-h_, paste sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: np | 10:09 |
| Kahless | Drats spoke to soon | 10:09 |
| Shay | is the /opt folder used for anything? people recommend putting programs in there | 10:09 |
| Kahless | It wont let me mount the HD | 10:09 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: flash memory has limited read/write capacity. instaling an OS does a lot of read/writing | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | fanrith: just remember to do a proper removal and you win | 10:09 |
| Kahless | it says unclean shutdown | 10:09 |
| bazhang | Shay, not these days | 10:09 |
| Kahless | what can i do? | 10:09 |
| Shay | ahh | 10:09 |
| byte_slave | how can i reload "/etc/environment" to get access to the new setup variables without reboot the machine? | 10:10 |
| Shay | what was it used for? | 10:10 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: Well yeah, I knew that, but I figured it wouldn't be writing that much. But I forgot about /tmp :( | 10:10 |
| bazhang | Shay, only realplayer wants to install itself there | 10:10 |
| cernex | bazhang, after step 6, what else should I do? | 10:10 |
| fanrith | D0c5i5: Were you the one having trouble with flash drive earlier? | 10:10 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: it wasnt just /tmp - files all over the place were getting corrupted | 10:10 |
| Shay | aha | 10:10 |
| Kahless | any help i feel liek I'm so close | 10:10 |
| LSD|Ninja | Gentoo uses /opt for binary distributed stuff, I'm not sure if there was any kind of standard as to what it's used for though | 10:10 |
| bazhang | cernex, not sure as I am not reading the guide atm; best to continue on | 10:10 |
| wols | byte_slave: run it. you cannot run it to set the "system environment2 however I think. maybe by changing runlevels but then you can just as well reboot | 10:10 |
| Shay | i just put songbird and floola downloads in there and it works fine :) | 10:10 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: The guide recommends putting /tmp into ram on the computer from which you're running the flash drive (just to point out :P) But I was kind of hoping to take Linux with me places :P | 10:10 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: i know, i was excited at the prospect as well. but alas no can do | 10:11 |

| cernex | bazhang, it's hard when they're saying "If you don't have internet access on the Linux install, refer to the section below" | 10:11 |
| cernex | :P | 10:11 |
| MikeSeth | Kahless: I'm completely confused as of what is the problem that you're trying to solve | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Kahless: if you dont unplug your usb drive from windows properly you get that, use the safetly remove hardware app before just yanking the drive out | 10:11 |
| Kahless | $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 1) Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Operation not supported Mount denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. | 10:12 |
| Shay | i used ndiswrapper to get my broadcom.. 4310 i think running using dell drivers | 10:12 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 you are the man, thanks a bunch | 10:12 |
| Kahless | No it is a Hard drive | 10:12 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: its worked? | 10:12 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 works likes a charm | 10:12 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: glad i could help :) | 10:12 |
| Kahless | a crashed hard drive and i trying to repair a corrupted windows file so i can start windows | 10:12 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 thanks alot | 10:12 |
| KenBW2 | ishbibenob: np | 10:12 |
| Totakeke | I really don't want to replace Windows (I need it for gaming, unfortunately Linux can't run some of my favorite games) but I have two 250 GiB hard drives. I guess I could part with data security to run Linux :P | 10:12 |
| ishbibenob | KenBW2 catch you later | 10:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: you shouldn't need ndiswrapper for broadcom, just a wired ethernet connection | 10:12 |
| cernex | bazhang, well... at least do you know a good wireless G like my D-Link one that is compatible with Ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, you will need to use a similar mount command to what is mentioned in that post ActionParsnip mentioned | 10:13 |
| Totakeke | Strike that, 320 GiB | 10:13 |
| Shay | this is a laptop | 10:13 |
| cernex | bazhang, without all this hassle? | 10:13 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: youve exhausted all options for running them in Wine etc? | 10:13 |
| Kahless | ah you mean sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/disk -o force | 10:13 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: so? | 10:13 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: Pretty much yeah | 10:13 |
| Shay | i haven't tested my ethernet connnection though | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, yep | 10:13 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: I haven't checked on some though. | 10:13 |
| Shay | yet* in ubuntu | 10:13 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: ah well. luckily im not much of a gamer so i wiped XP | 10:13 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: All I really need is EVE though, and that has a Linux version. | 10:13 |
| byte_slave | wols, well the idea was not reboot machine, i thought maybe some "init x" would do that for me | 10:14 |
| geev | which command will let see runing services | 10:14 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: Lol what I would give to be able to wipe Vista -.- | 10:14 |
| Kahless | where is consoel again? | 10:14 |
| Totakeke | All I really need is EVE though, and they have a Linux version | 10:14 |
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: eugh. ive been forced to use Vista on someone else's PC for a month. *horrible* | 10:14 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, Applications - Accessories | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Kahless: you want terminal, konsole is kde | 10:14 |
| geev | anybody which command will let see running services | 10:14 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: The eye candy is, well, sweet :P but as far as blue screens and hangs, I hate it. And this computer's brand new, built it myself. | 10:14 |
| dustrial | hey folks, i was wondering how to do remote admin tasks on a maschine, without fixed IP adress, that is only running some hours a week ... ( namely the PC of my parents) ... how do i best find out the ip? for a remote connection | 10:14 |
| Shay | is there anyway to fix a nm-applet default keyring at startup login | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: unlucky, turn off the visual garbage and its bearable | 10:15 |
| Kahless | yeah thats what i mean | 10:15 |
| Kahless | no 5am | 10:15 |
| Shay | the application nm-applet wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked | 10:15 |
| Slart | dustrial: get a dynamic dns thingy.. www.dyndns.org | 10:15 |
| Kahless | its nwo 5am lol | 10:15 |
| Kahless | how do i get to terminal? | 10:15 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: With a wireed ethernet connection handy you need only install the fwcutter and then enable the driver in the drivers panel for it to work | 10:15 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, Applications - Accessories - Terminal | 10:15 |
| dustrial | slart, thx, i will have a look | 10:15 |
| Slart | dustrial: there are small clients that run in the background that updates the dynamic dns alias.. | 10:15 |
| === BOLDCAPS is now known as haptiK | ||
| KenBW2 | Totakeke: Vista always decides it knows best - that annoys me. i like that Ubuntu gives you the freedom to do what you want (even the freedom to totally f**k it up :P) | 10:15 |
| Shay | fwcutter? does it enable wireless too? | 10:16 |
| MikeSeth | Kahless: ummm.. you | 10:16 |
| Shay | my laptop uses a nforce ethernet thing and a broadcom wireless | 10:16 |
| Shay | as so hp says so | 10:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: the drivers are already there, fwcutter just downloads the firmware to make them work | 10:16 |
| MikeSeth | Kahless: you're trying to repair an ntfs partition from Linux? | 10:16 |
| Slart | dustrial: then I guess you could just install some kind of im client.. add yourself to the list and block everything else.. that way you can see when it's online | 10:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: nforce ethernet has been supported for years ;) | 10:16 |
| Totakeke | KenBW2: As the saying goes, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Microsoft needs to work on some things. Okay, I should get off of my Live USB flash drive before I kill it :P Thanks for all the help. (And maybe there was a gooooood reason why I wasn't able to install Linux onto my flash drive.

| KenBW2 | Totakeke: lol, np | 10:17 |
| wols | cernex: ask the seller not us | 10:17 |
| Shay | so fwcutter uses the same ini i used to install bcmwl5.inf? | 10:17 |

| ubottu | cernex: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 10:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: lots of people come a cropper with broadcom because they don't keep a wired connection handy when they try and install it and then assume it's not supported | 10:17 |
| geev | anybody which command will let see running services | 10:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: then they try and give all kinds of silly excuses for just why they don't have a wired connection handy | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | geev: top or ps -ef | 10:17 |
| dustrial | slart: in case of Do It Yourself, i will youse a email client, but i am searching for a secure and nicer solution... that account seems to be interessting | 10:17 |
| Shay | i have to use wireless most of the time though | 10:18 |
| majnoon | going to try | 10:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: Once you get wireless going you can do without the wired, you just need the wired to make installing the wireless easier | 10:18 |
| wols | geev: does not exist | 10:18 |
| Shay | I don't understand though what you're trying to say. = Nforce will work meaning ethernet will work? and also wireless will work if i use either ndiswrapper or bcm43xx-fwcutter? | 10:18 |
| geev | <ActionParsnip> thanks | 10:18 |
| rconan | How do I change the colour depth under hardy? The relevant sections in xorg.conf don't seem to be there any more. | 10:19 |
| majnoon | burning now | 10:19 |
| Shay | oh you mean to switch too fwcutter, but get ethernet to make it able to download the firmware? | 10:19 |
| majnoon | if not 64 bit it just no run | 10:19 |
| LSD|Ninja | rconan: Alt+F2 -> gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 10:19 |

| SUSaiyan | hello, is there any way i can get apt to restore the default smb.conf file? | 10:19 |
| dustrial | ... so i only know the adress of the router, how can i connect to a routers client? from the internet? with ssh? | 10:19 |
| rconan | dustrial, you need to set up port forwarding on the router | 10:20 |
| cernex | Mmmh... the linksys WUSB54G is easy to install, I want to believe? | 10:20 |
| Totakeke | Great, now I'm all worried. I've been trying to boot from my flash drive for a couple days now, formatting multiple times, running from the LiveUSB stick for at least an hour at times. How much wear do you think I put on this little drive? (I just bought it a few days ago) | 10:20 |
| wols | dustrial: only if you portforward to the sshd | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: most use web browsers | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: oic | 10:20 |
| dustrial | wols : has the router to portforward nthe ssh? | 10:20 |
| * ActionParsnip sits quiet | 10:20 | |
| wols | dustrial: yes | 10:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: Yeah, installing the fwcutter enables the driver in the hardware-drivers panel, you simply enable it there and it'll download the firmware and do all the config needed to make the driver work. The catch is that without a working internet connection you run into a chicken and egg type situation. Many people assume (incorrectly) that it's not supported at that point and run to ndiswrapper | 10:21 |
| geev | <wols> top works but not certifying my need | 10:21 |
| cernex | wols, the Linkysis WUSB54G is easy to install, I want to believe? | 10:21 |
| DistroJockey | Totakeke, not enough to kill it | 10:21 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip : what is oic ? | 10:21 |
| LSD|Ninja | dustrial: Oh, I see | 10:21 |
| Shay | does using fwcutter fix the nm-applet keyring thing at startup? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: say it out loud, its initials | 10:21 |
| Kahless | disk force worked I'm in | 10:21 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: Once you have the firmware installed and the driver working, nm will work as well as with any other driver | 10:21 |
| Shay | but i know using it is easier, but what would make me switch from ndiswrapper to fwcutter? any key features beside the auto config or firmware? | 10:21 |
| Totakeke | DistroJockey: Lol but I mean how close am I? I shouldn't be too close at all, I think? Since it's new? Formatting only counts as 1 read/write (per cell of memory)? | 10:22 |
| wols | cernex: I gave you a link. the ebay seller description is useless. it doesn't tell what chip the wlan device uses, so no one can say how good it supports linux | 10:22 |
| Slart | dustrial: I've used an account myself for several years.. just to not have to bother with ip-numbers for teamspeak, game servers and such | 10:22 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip : and rest : oh well ic | 10:22 |
| DistroJockey | Totakeke, did you see the part in all those guides you read about syslinux and maybe needing to use a lilo command to make the flash drive bootable? | 10:22 |
| geev | <wols> i want to see if crontab is running how to | 10:22 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | sorry what is the KDM? | 10:22 |
| Shay | well ndiswrapper = manual install.. mostly (ndisgtk doesnt work sometimes), and fwcutter = auto | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | geev: ps -ef | grep cron | 10:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: If you're already using ndiswrapper and it works then there's no real reason to change. I was just pointing out that there was no real reason to use ndiswrapper in the first place and whoever told you otherwise doesn't know what they were talking about :) | 10:22 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip: : so where to find a tutorial for ssh through webbrowser? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !kdm | strawbeRRy_fieLd | 10:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kdm | 10:22 |
| Totakeke | DistroJockey: No, but I'ev heard about syslinux. I have since then, however, decided not to install Linux on the drive and murder it. :P It costs too much to go killing it. :P | 10:22 |
| Shay | oh well, :) if next time i install ubuntu on a broadcom, then i'll try :D thanks! | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: ok, so you wanna ssh to your system from outside your LAN? | 10:23 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | the bot says he doesnt no | 10:23 |
| Shay | yeah i guess they didn't know | 10:23 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | so what is it? | 10:23 |
| prock | hey guys | 10:23 |
| Totakeke | I'll just use one of my hard drives to install Linux. I lose my RAID data security, but I can always make backups on DVD. | 10:23 |
| prock | how do i change my country in ubuntu 8.04 | 10:23 |
| Totakeke | So yeah, formatting should only count as one read/write, shouldn't it? | 10:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: ndiswrapper is becoming to wireless what hdparm is to disk issues. People are flocking to it without first investigating alternatives | 10:24 |
| DistroJockey | Totakeke, the way that persistent installs work, minimises writes | 10:24 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip: : problem is i want to connect from internet to my parents machine, behind a router. ( my machine is also behind several router and firewalls (which i do not control). | 10:24 |
| SUSaiyan | anyone have any idea how to restore the default smb.conf? | 10:24 |
| prock | it shows usa when i lock my machine :/ i just want to change it to australia | 10:24 |
| Shay | yeah i didn't know either, i just looked at a post on ubuntu forums o.o | 10:24 |
| DistroJockey | Totakeke, yeah, I guess | 10:24 |
| rick111 | how can i setup a new user via ssh? google wont tell me :/ | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: then forward port 22 TCP on your router to the system running the ssh server, id suggest putting it on static ip for simplicity | 10:24 |
| LSD|Ninja | prock: I think that means the keyboard layout. We use a US layout here. | 10:24 |
| Slart | prock: huh? it shows your country when you lock it?? | 10:24 |
| wols | rick111: adduser | 10:24 |
| rick111 | ta wols | 10:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: next to the password prompt | 10:25 |
| Slart | prock: or you mean timezone? language setting? keyboard settings? | 10:25 |
| Nelson_Apart | I can connect to my local Windows network's computer, but how to let them to connect to my share folder too? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: then you connect to user@your.roues.wan.ip and you'll get a connection | 10:25 |
| Shay | @LSD|Ninja, what about the password prompt? | 10:25 |
| prock | everything is set to au | 10:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | Shay: sorry, I miscompleted that last one | 10:25 |
| prock | bar keyboard layout | 10:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | I meant Slart | 10:25 |
| Shay | ahh | 10:25 |
| prock | is that where it reads it from ? | 10:25 |
| rick111 | that was far too easy \o/ | 10:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | prock: I'm guessing | 10:25 |
| Totakeke | DistroJockey: But it would still shorten the life. And what about all of the other stuff the OS does that involves writing to stuff to (what it thinks is) the hard drive, like KenBW2 said? | 10:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | prock: My Ubuntu is set up for .au everywhere else | 10:25 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip: : static ip is an extra service ( telekom, germany) - okay i will search for portforwarding options in this router! thx anyway | 10:26 |
| Slart | LSD|Ninja: ahhhh.. that one | 10:26 |
| Nelson_Apart | How to let my local Windows computers connect to my share folders on ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | prock: even to the point of failing when it tries to download en_AU translation files | 10:26 |
| prock | lol nice | 10:26 |
| Slart | prock: that's the keyboard layout alright.. system, preferences, keyboard if you feel like changing that one | 10:26 |
| DistroJockey | Totakeke, it's all done in RAM on a decent persistent USB system | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: yes, static ip on the system running the ssh server as it may get a different ip when it reboots | 10:26 |
| prock | haha no it should be fine | 10:26 |
| Nelson_Apart | How to let my local Windows computers connect to my share folders on ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| Totakeke | DistroJockey: I'd do it but it's fine, really. The people at the public library would probably get mad at me anyway :P (And anywhere else I decide to do it.) | 10:26 |
| Slart | !samba | Nelson_Apart | 10:26 |
| ubottu | Nelson_Apart: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 10:26 |
| prock | LSD|Ninja have you tried any other australian mirrors? | 10:27 |
| prock | i was thinking of trying 3FL but im unsure of how up to date thy are :/ | 10:27 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip: : i am exactly looking for an solution to this problem! - because it reboots often and static ip is to spent extra money | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | Totakeke, well, if they let you boot from USB that's their fault not your's ;) | 10:27 |
| Shay | argh pulseaudio is so annoying | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: no no no. you misunderstand | 10:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | prock: It downloads the package info just fine, it just fails on the other half of the files it tries to download because there's no such thing as and no need for a specific en_AU internationalisation | 10:27 |
| Totakeke | DistroJockey: Ah, too true. :) | 10:27 |
| rconan | dustrial, not a static internet IP. A static IP for your local network | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: the system is behind a router which uses the dhcp (not static) which is fine | 10:28 |
| Slart | Shay: what's so annoying about it? | 10:28 |
| prock | no worries | 10:28 |
| prock | well | 10:28 |
| prock | cheers for your help | 10:28 |
| LSD|Ninja | prock: it's almost certainly an update manager bug but it's harmkless so I ignore it | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: the ip of the computer running ssh server is better to be on a static ip as routing s easier to manage | 10:28 |
| Shay | when i use vmware it doesn't work, and if i try to make it work it has to disable the ubuntu audio, so you can only hear vmware | 10:28 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip : oh okay now i get it ;D | 10:28 |
| xnv | Is there a way to get windows to resize using an outline when desktop effects are disabled? | 10:29 |
| Shay | i think you could disconnect pulseaudio from the psaudiodev or something.. i can't remember.. control panel | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: to make life even easier, head over to www.no-ip.com and register your routers ip with a name so you dont have to remember silly ips | 10:29 |
| LSD|Ninja | xnv: you mean draw the window while resizing? | 10:29 |
| Slart | Shay: ah... never tried it with vmware.. never tried vmware at all really. | 10:29 |
| Shay | also wine might do the same | 10:29 |
| Shay | i set wine to OSS i think | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dustrial: you can then install the disalup client from no-ip to refreshevery 3 hours or so so you know the ip for uor chosen name is sound | 10:29 |
| Totakeke | Would it be possible to make a persistent DVD instead of a Live DVD? Since you can install Linux onto a flash drive smaller than 512 MiB shouldn't it, in theory, be possible? Swap might be a problem, though. And DVDs have way less writes than flash memory. | 10:30 |
| yao_ziyuan | what is the dvd writer program in ubuntu? | 10:30 |
| LSD|Ninja | yao_ziyuan: brasero I believe | 10:30 |
| yao_ziyuan | k3b looks suspicious to me because kde apps are generally lame | 10:30 |
| dustrial | ActionParsnip : i will have a look at it, thank you and see you later (in case of other questions) | 10:30 |
| wols | Totakeke: a livecd is a "persistent" install of sorts | 10:31 |
| yao_ziyuan | LSD|Ninja: it is not installed by default. is there any default-installed one? | 10:31 |
| wols | as much as a CD can be such an install | 10:31 |
| Totakeke | Wols: So it wouldn't be possible to use it as an OS and be able to save stuff onto it for later? | 10:31 |
| xnv | LSD|Ninja: I don't want it to redraw the window. I just want it to leave the window alone and draw an outline of the new positioning. | 10:32 |
| rconan | yao_ziyuan, brasero is installed by default at least for me | 10:32 |
| LSD|Ninja | same here | 10:32 |
| wols | Totakeke: no. you cannot write to a DVD | 10:32 |
| yao_ziyuan | !burner | 10:32 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 10:32 |
| wols | not when you boot from it. knoppix and other livecds use unionfs which saves to usb sticks or hdds | 10:32 |
| yao_ziyuan | generally i want to use a gnome one | 10:32 |
| LSD|Ninja | I certainly never installed brasero myself. It could have been left over from an upgrade though (and the default has now changed) | 10:32 |
| yao_ziyuan | kde is pretty but less functional | 10:32 |
| Totakeke | Wols: I see. Thanks for the info. Just something I thought would've been interesting to try :P | 10:32 |
| SUSaiyan | does anyone know how to restore the default smb.conf? | 10:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest92837: are you logging in as root? | 10:34 |
| SUSaiyan | there has to be a command to put the default config files back | 10:34 |
| Guest92837 | ActionParsnip, Yes I have logged as root | 10:34 |
| SUSaiyan | like a fresh install of the package | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92837: id log off and then log on as a user so your install doesnt get broken | 10:35 |
| DistroJockey | SUSaiyan, only thing I can think of is a remove and purge and then reinstall | 10:35 |
| wols | SUSaiyan: check the dpkg --confmiss option perhaps | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest28222: and your stored passwords harvested | 10:36 |
| Guest92837 | ActionParsnip, why I am not able to do as root user | 10:36 |

| rlc | hi | 10:36 |
| wols | jahnkeanater: #web | 10:36 |
| jahnkeanater | yea | 10:36 |
| yao_ziyuan | i want to burn a ubuntu cd. considering ubuntu 8.10 will be out in 2 months, | 10:37 |
| yao_ziyuan | is it still worth burning a 8.04 now? | 10:37 |
| jahnkeanater | i want a blank page that will send it to another page | 10:37 |
| wols | jahnkeanater: and this is not a ubuntu question. ask in #web or some html channel or whatever | 10:38 |
| yao_ziyuan | i just bought and installed a dvd burner, but find nothing worth burning... | 10:38 |
| jahnkeanater | its a quick question | 10:38 |
| wols | jahnkeanater: it's an OT one | 10:38 |
| murlidhar | how to upgrade to firefox 3 ? | 10:39 |
| rlc | not sure | 10:39 |
| wols | murlidhar: upgrade to hardy and you have ffox3 by default | 10:39 |
| Ademan | anyone know what audio driver sdl_sound defaults to using? | 10:39 |
| wols | Ademan: probably alsa? | 10:39 |
| w2__ | hiiiii | 10:39 |
| murlidhar | then why does my firefox shows that it is firefox 3 beta 5 ? | 10:40 |
| w2__ | hiii | 10:40 |
| vinoth | hi all, i need some help! i am trying to run alice (game deve) on my pc. i am using ubuntu 8.04 amd64 bit version. i am getting the following error on executing the program. "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/game/Alice/Required/jogl/lib/linux-i586/libjogl_drihack.so: /opt/game/Alice/Required/jogl/lib/linux-i586/libjogl_drihack.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)" | 10:40 |
| murlidhar | wols: i am already using hardy | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !firefox | 10:40 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 10:40 |
| wols | murlidhar: you didn't upgrade to the latest hardy security fixes. btw, beta5 is the same as ffox 3.0 | 10:40 |
| murlidhar | wols: is there any manual command to upgrade firefox? | 10:41 |
| wols | vinoth: you run 64bit and try to use a 32bit library | 10:41 |
| Shay | god floola crashes to much | 10:41 |
| wols | murlidhar: have the hardy updates repo in your sources.list and upgrade | 10:41 |
| vinoth | yes, how do i tell my pc to use 32 bit f | 10:41 |
| murlidhar | wols: k thanks :) | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | vinoth: if you are running 64bit you can install 32bit libs to run them | 10:43 |
| xnv | vinoth: f? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | vinoth: you dont really need them though as apps come in 32bit and 64it flavours | 10:43 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: if they are all available. it'S not so simple. a chroot is usually better | 10:43 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: most of them at least | 10:43 |
| vinoth | how do i force the app to use the 32 bit libs | 10:44 |
| porncake | i made a raid with mdadm raid0 consisting of 2 disks i want to remove the raid and use the disks seperate (used mdadm) how can i undo it ? | 10:44 |
| vinoth | or is there any alternative available? | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | vinoth: if its 32bit it'll do it automatically | 10:45 |
| ubuntu_ | i dont know | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | vinoth: what are you tryin to achieve | 10:45 |
| ubuntu_ | no thing | 10:45 |
| vinoth | i need to run an java app. which is built for 32 bit in my 64 bit pc | 10:45 |
| wols | vinoth: look for a 64bit version of this dev kit first | 10:46 |
| vinoth | wols: no it is not available | 10:46 |
| wols | vinoth: use a chroot | 10:46 |
| wols | ie a 2nd, userspace only install of ubuntu inside a single directory | 10:46 |
| kabads | what is the best method of creating h.264 video files for use with flash player? ffmpeg or mencoder? | 10:47 |
| wols | kabads: either works | 10:47 |
| kabads | wols: and h.264 has been compiled in? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kabads: there is no "best" or thats all we'd use and nothing else. see which you prefer, that one is "best" | 10:48 |
| wols | I _think_. if not, medibuntu's should have | 10:48 |
| kabads | wols: I'm just looking for documentation on it, and it seems that it's a bit sparse (or my searching skills are lacking) | 10:48 |
| wols | kabads: that's probably true (sparseness) | 10:48 |
| Shay | is there a addon for songbird that allows you to display a now playing box in the corner when a new song is playing like rhythm box? | 10:49 |
| kabads | wols: ah, ok. As it takes ages to encode, I'd like to get it right the first time. But hey ho. | 10:49 |
| SUSaiyan | DistroJockey: tried that , didnt work | 10:49 |
| Slart | Shay: are you running songbird? which version? | 10:50 |
| Shay | 0.7.0, i found a addon for minimize to tray but i'm not sure if it works for my version | 10:50 |
| Shay | http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1 | 10:50 |
| DistroJockey | SUSaiyan, did you rename smb.conf to something else before you re-installed? | 10:50 |
| DIFH-iceroot | how to install a rpm? there is only a rpm and no *.tar.gz oder *.deb | 10:51 |
| Slart | !alien | DIFH-iceroot | 10:51 |
| ubottu | DIFH-iceroot: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 10:51 |
| wols | DIFH-iceroot: don't. you can create a tar.gz with alien and unpack it manually. | 10:51 |
| SUSaiyan | DistroJockey: i removed it completely | 10:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Slart: thx | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFH-iceroot: you can use alien but id recommend source if you cant find a deb | 10:51 |
| wols | DIFH-iceroot: do NOT use alien to create a .deb. it will bork your system usually | 10:51 |
| SUSaiyan | it seems to reinstall the init and cron and logrotate conf files for samba, but not the smb.conf | 10:52 |
| wols | SUSaiyan: dpkg -l |grep samba | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !alien | DIFH-iceroot | 10:52 |
| ubottu | DIFH-iceroot: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 10:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | there is no source or deb, only rpm http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10094 | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFH-iceroot: replace quite with a lot | 10:52 |
| wols | DIFH-iceroot: do as I told | 10:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wols: ok thx | 10:52 |
| Shay | hmm Slart i found one that might work http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/152 | 10:53 |
| Shay | they say it'll work if i change the maxversion to 0.7 which i'll try | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | why do idiot companys only make rpm when ubuntu is getting so much press etc | 10:53 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: at the link there is "ubuntu is tested succesfully" | 10:54 |
| Slart | Shay: mm.. go ahead.. I'm installing songbird.. I tried 0.6 but it was to buggy for me.. crashed all the time etc | 10:54 |
| Shay | ahh, same for me | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFH-iceroot: then im guesing thats with compilingn | 10:54 |
| reppel | Hi, gnome-terminal takes an insane amount of cpu with fast scrolling text. Is this a known bug? | 10:54 |
| Shay | 0.7.0 is ok, takes a while to get used to the toolbar at the bottom though | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | reppel: try tilde or xterm | 10:55 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ActionParsnip: very strange with no public source | 10:55 |
| Slart | reppel: are you just scrolling a text file? or is it some program generating the text? | 10:55 |
| SUSaiyan | okay apparently smb.conf is part of samba-common | 10:55 |
| DIFH-iceroot | is there a lightscribe-driver for ubuntu? so maybe i must not use 4L | 10:55 |
| Anarhist | hello, i'm looking for 2 types of application: 1 something to batch convert from bmp to jpeg, 2 something to look for identical files on the machine | 10:55 |
| SUSaiyan | DistroJockey: thanks for your help | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: theres a stock on in /etc/samba | 10:55 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Anarhist: for the first use imagemagick | 10:55 |
| DistroJockey | SUSaiyan, you're welcome. I hope you get it back | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: but it needs modifying to your needs | 10:56 |
| SUSaiyan | DistroJockey: i did :) | 10:56 |
| DistroJockey | SUSaiyan, good to hear :) | 10:56 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: naturally, but i just needed the default back | 10:56 |
| Slart | Anarhist: fdupes is one app for finding duplicate files | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: i see | 10:57 |
| Anarhist | thanks | 10:57 |
| Bl00dFox | Hey all | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: make a backup before modifying .conf files | 10:57 |
| DIFH-iceroot | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe <-- they are also using alien for lacie-lightscribe, so i will test that tutorial | 10:57 |
| DistroJockey | SUSaiyan, I was just about to point you to a pastebin of my unmodified one before you said that :) | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: then you can roll back | 10:57 |
| Bl00dFox | I have a few questions... I left Ubuntu for a few months and now I have come crawling back | 10:57 |
| cih997 | hi, how can I check file encoding? i've tried 'file filename' but i get type only :/ | 10:57 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: i did, but then i made a mistake and overwrote it :) | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | Bl00dFox | 10:58 |
| ubottu | Bl00dFox: 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. :-) | 10:58 |
| Slart | cih997: what kind of encoding are we talking about here? text encoding? sound files? video files? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: no, i mean crate a backup (e.g sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.old | 10:58 |
| cih997 | Slart, text file encoding | 10:58 |
| Bl00dFox | The default installation of Ubuntu includes a horrible set of fonts: my IPB forum displays very badly on Firefox (the fonts are all displayed in courier). How may I fix this? | 10:59 |
| Shay | yeah system tray support for linux doesn't work, songbird, its only for windows | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: oh did you copy the wrong way to roll back? | 10:59 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: thats exactly what i did, but then i did it again after changing it | 10:59 |
| Slart | cih997: I don't know if there is a good way to know that.. | 10:59 |
| Slart | cih997: you can make more or less educated guesses... but that's it | 10:59 |
| yao_ziyuan | i wonder if the ubuntu live cd has such a feature: | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: you can always create version numbers in yuor fileneames :D. Glad its ok now :D | 10:59 |
| SUSaiyan | i was also going to make a backup of the changes i made but forgot that the original was .old too | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !fonts | Bl00dFox | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Bl00dFox: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 11:00 |
| Shay | Slart: might be able to try firetray though, it seems to be for all platforms http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/173 | 11:00 |
| wols | cih997: distinguihshing an english text in utf8 vs. ascii is (almost impossible) for example | 11:00 |
| Slart | Shay: hope it works better | 11:00 |
| yao_ziyuan | format my hard disk in ext3 and install a basic system that boots to grub | 11:00 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: the thing is that the original file is usually smb.conf.example on gentoo | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | slart, Shay: firetray is pretty sweet | 11:00 |
| yao_ziyuan | so i can install ubuntu by netboot | 11:01 |
| cih997 | Slart, i have a file, gedit recognize it as a utf-8 and text is ok but when i open this file with eclipse it is opened as utf-8 but text has wrong chars :/ | 11:01 |
| Shay | just change the maxversion for songbird from 0.7pre to 0.7.* in the install.rdf file hopefully | 11:01 |
| Shay | :D | 11:01 |
| wols | SUSaiyan: somehwere in /usr/share/doc/samba* there are examples too. might be in package samba-doc tho | 11:01 |
| Slart | cih997: so gedit is better at guessing than eclipse.. or has another default value | 11:01 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: so i didnt think that .old would be used, but i used it as backup a couple of weeks back | 11:01 |
| Shay | yes its pretty good! | 11:01 |
| Shay | its funny they used a egg icon | 11:01 |
| Slart | cih997: there is no magic byte/id value/encoding string in text files.. | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | SUSaiyan: its not really as it doesnt match the filename expected by samba | 11:02 |
| cih997 | Slart, i've moved large php project from gedit to eclipse and i must be sure that encoding is ok | 11:02 |
| Kahless | Hey guys I'm back with an update | 11:02 |
| Bl00dFox | Is it possible to get all the fonts I have on my windows installation and use it on Ubuntu? | 11:02 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: true but gentoo by default doesnt have a smb.conf i believe | 11:02 |
| Shay | it has notifications! Slart and ActionParsnip | 11:02 |
| cih997 | Slart, ok, thx for help | 11:02 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, welcome back | 11:02 |
| Kahless | I used the linux console with help from distrojocky and Mikeseth | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Bl00dFox: you can install them over, yes | 11:02 |
| Shay | wow works prety well for 0.7 :) good luck trying it slart | 11:02 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: they make you copy the example | 11:03 |
| Kahless | and i was able to force mount the Hd | 11:03 |
| SUSaiyan | ActionParsnip: anyway, back to work for me, thanks :) | 11:03 |
| Slart | cih997: you have my sympathy.. unless you can find some program that is good at guessing you've got quite a lot of work to do =/ | 11:03 |
| yao_ziyuan | can the ubuntu live cd recognize, format and read/write a hard disk? | 11:03 |
| Shay | yes | 11:03 |
| Kahless | then i used a memory stick to copy good sytem files from my compter over the corrupted ones on the computer i was fixing while in linux | 11:03 |
| Shay | ubuntu live cd comes with a disk partitioner, called gparted | 11:03 |
| Kahless | restarted teh computer and its laoding windows now | 11:04 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, nice work :) | 11:04 |
| Kahless | goign to run a disk check not to repait any furthure damage | 11:04 |
| Slart | cih997: you could try enca, see if it gives good results.. it's still guessing though | 11:04 |
| Slart | !info enca | 11:04 |
| ubottu | enca (source: enca): Extremely Naive Charset Analyser - binaries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9-4 (hardy), package size 84 kB, installed size 216 kB | 11:04 |
| Kahless | couldn;t have done it without you guys i forgot how to use lunixs aftet these years | 11:04 |
| amavis | anyone know if there is something better than superkaramba? | 11:04 |
| cih997 | Slart, ok | 11:05 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, happy to have helped. Now go get some sleep ;P | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | amavis: define better | 11:05 |
| Oli`` | Shay: just a tip: It sometimes gets pretty chaotic in here so it's best to prefix your messages with the person they're intended for so they're highlighted at their end | 11:05 |
| Bl00dFox | Does anyone here use Openbox? IF so, could you kindly send me a PM? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Bl00dFox: i use fluxbox | 11:06 |
| Shay | @Oli``: you mean add a @ first? yeah, i always forget to do that. I'll remember now. :) | 11:06 |
| amavis | ActionParsnip: yeah it was a bit of a vague question on my behalf, erm basically just wanting some basic applets, weather and perhaps some system information. Is superkaramba pretty much the leading player or is there a well used alternative | 11:06 |
| Shay | @Oli``: Usually, when I come to this chatroom, it's pretty barron, but at morning here it's busy. | 11:06 |
| yao_ziyuan | can a live cd writes user changes to the user's hard disk? | 11:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | so that it can become a real OS.... | 11:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | i think that's definitely a direction... | 11:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | OS on the CD/DVD | 11:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | and user data/apps on the hard disk | 11:07 |
| cih997 | Slart, enca works well, thx for help again :) | 11:08 |
| Kahless | Ah man now time to fix teh second computer and right my newspaper article before the deadline | 11:08 |
| DistroJockey | Kahless, lol | 11:09 |
| Kahless | Oh and i think the replacement LCD inverter for a clients laptop comes in gonan be fun | 11:09 |
| Kahless | thank god for the Olympics and chinese ping pong | 11:09 |
| Kartagis | I'm looking for some program like Igo on Windows, for Linux. any idea what? | 11:10 |
| Slart | cih997: you're welcome | 11:10 |
| Slart | Kartagis: if you tell us what Igo does it might be easier | 11:11 |
| nadia_ | embedded QuickTime movies are played by Totem Movie Player instead of the QuickTime plugin. How can I disable this? | 11:12 |
| Slart | Kartagis: many people here run... tadaaaa!.. Ubuntu.. not windows =) | 11:12 |
| arwan | hi, I was wondering if there are any known issues with Ubuntu Hardy Herron on Dell Vostro laptops (1510 to be precise)? | 11:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | i don't know how those of you with a burner manage dist upgrades... | 11:13 |
| crabgrass | what's the opposite of cat? rather, how do i split files without using tar or rar? | 11:13 |
| thenetduck | hellow, I need help dual booting Gentoo and Ubuntu would someone be able to assist me? | 11:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | do you burn a new cd for every new ubuntu version as soon as it is out? | 11:13 |
| Slart | crabgrass: tried split? | 11:13 |
| reasonpun | not | 11:14 |
| crabgrass | Slart: lemmie man that real quick | 11:14 |
| reasonpun | u 8.04 only | 11:14 |
| Slart | yao_ziyuan: I burn a new cd for each major version of ubuntu, yes | 11:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | or do you just keep a certain ubuntu version on cd and install it when system is broken and then upgrade to the latest version via net? | 11:14 |
| Slart | yao_ziyuan: when system is broken? do you get that a lot? | 11:14 |
| crabgrass | Slart: yeah, that looks like it ought to do what i need. thanks! | 11:15 |
| Slart | crabgrass: you're welcome | 11:15 |
| Kartagis | Slart, a GPS program | 11:15 |
| yao_ziyuan | Slart: no, but one month ago i dist-upgraded from 8.04.1 to an experimental intrepid and my system was f*cked up | 11:16 |
| yao_ziyuan | then i tried fedora 9 for a week | 11:16 |
| thenetduck | can someone help me with dual booting gentoo and ubuntu? I have gentoo installed as of now, I just can't figure out how to do the ubunt installation properly | 11:16 |
| yao_ziyuan | and then back to ubuntu 8.04.1 | 11:16 |
| DistroJockey | !gps | Kartagis | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Kartagis: Street mapping and GPS navigation software available for Ubuntu includes !GpsDrive (GTK, raster maps, free), !Roadnav (GTK, free vector maps from Tiger and OSM, free), !GoogleEarth (Qt, proprietary vector maps, proprietary) | 11:16 |
| thenetduck | I will wait if someone will help me | 11:16 |
| Slart | Kartagis: there are a few gps programs.. gpsdrive is one... but it's not like your ordinary gps car navigator.. | 11:16 |
| nadia_ | Embedded QuickTime movies in my browser are played by Totem Movie Player instead of the QuickTime plugin. How can I disable this? | 11:16 |
| oobe | thenetduck, thats amazing a gentoo user how cant install ubuntu | 11:17 |
| Slart | yao_ziyuan: well.. then I'd install 8.04 and upgrade from there | 11:17 |
| thenetduck | oobe: I can, I just want to do it right the first time | 11:17 |
| Slart | yao_ziyuan: or not mess with the main system because I want to try intrepid.. rahter install it on some smallish partition and see how it works.. | 11:17 |
| KenBW2 | anyone here use Conduit? | 11:18 |
| oobe | thenetduck, you just need to decide which OS contains grub or lilo then configure it to boot both OS's | 11:18 |
| thenetduck | oobe: I just wasn't sure if I could share swap and where the MBR should be located | 11:18 |
| Slart | hmm.. we should tell ubottu that Roadnav only works for the US.. or rather it used to .. don't know what it does today | 11:18 |
| oobe | thenetduck, yes you can share swap | 11:18 |
| oobe | thenetduck, and either one can contain MBR | 11:19 |
| KenBW2 | how do i install an older version of an app? | 11:19 |
| thenetduck | oobe: I would prefer ubuntu do generate the grub.conf because I feel its better with grubmagic via ubuntu | 11:19 |
| oobe | thenetduck, i would choose to keep gentoo's since you are already familiar with it and you may not want to keep ubuntu | 11:19 |
| oobe | thenetduck, then ubuntu will search for other installs during installation and add gentoo to grub boot menu | 11:20 |
| oobe | thenetduck, that is probably the easiest option | 11:20 |
| thenetduck | oobe: easy is good.. BIG reason ubuntu is looking good right now | 11:20 |
| KenBW2 | oobe: i was thinking about this a while ago. isnt there a way to have one-grub-for-all? | 11:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | i wish the live cd can have an option to "install a base system (without ubuntu-desktop) to my hard disk" | 11:21 |
| oobe | thenetduck, grub can install to any partition or to the first sector of HD | 11:21 |
| raboof | somehow I feel every info/error message should have a unique ID, and there should be an online wiki page associated with that ID where the message can be discussed | 11:21 |
| oobe | KenBW2, yes and most setups are like that | 11:21 |
| raboof | e.g. 'you might get this error when ....' and more details | 11:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | so i can then upgrade to the latest ubuntu via net from this base system | 11:21 |
| thenetduck | oobe: am I going to need to create a partition for /boot in ubuntu or will my ubuntu installation use my existing boot partition | 11:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | i know the alternate installer cd can do this (install a base system only), | 11:22 |
| oobe | thenetduck, no it wont use your existing /boot partition it will make a folder in / called boot which i prefer | 11:22 |
| yao_ziyuan | but i'm not sure if the alternate installer can also let me access my hard disk first (to save user data to my USB stick) | 11:22 |
| oobe | gonna idle for a while hope i helped | 11:23 |
| thenetduck | oobe: ok great, thanks for the help | 11:23 |
| DistroJockey | yao_ziyuan, alternate won't install a "minimal" system or let you access data for saving | 11:24 |
| yao_ziyuan | DistroJockey: it can | 11:25 |
| yao_ziyuan | DistroJockey: it will be like a netboot install | 11:25 |

| raboof | in certain cases, '/etc/acpi/sleep.sh' just exits silently | 11:29 |
| raboof | i think it should at least print a diagnostic message, would that be a wishlist bug against acpi-support? | 11:29 |

| kr0gur_ | grrr, gnome panel has become unresponsive.... anything I can do? | 11:30 |
| kr0gur_ | can't click on app bar | 11:31 |
| kr0gur_ | it was PIDGEN that did it | 11:31 |
| kr0gur_ | cant alt-f2 | 11:31 |
| kr0gur_ | grrrrr. damnit what process should I restart? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kr0gur_: gnome-panel maybe | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kr0gur_: id just reboot | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kr0gur_: if it happens again you have an issue | 11:32 |
| raboof | kr0gur_: i'd say it's the panel's fault that it lets a mere application like pidgin crash it :) | 11:32 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya, i'm trying to run a https server on the same host as a http server - when i access the https server from localhost, everything works fine... | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | kr0gur_, ctrl+alt+f1 and killall pidgen and/or killall gnome-panel | 11:33 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | but when i try and get to it from another box, it doesn't do SSL - its like the VirtualHost hostname:443 is ignored - any ideas? | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | kr0gur_, ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to X | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | kr0gur_, pidgin is the better way to spell it though :) | 11:34 |

| yao_ziyuan | if i have a 7.04 ubuntu and i start Update Manager from it, then will it upgrade to 7.10 or 8.04? | 11:38 |
| yao_ziyuan | will it "skip versions"? | 11:38 |
| Emuk | i think it will upload to 8.04 | 11:39 |
| raboof | jpjacobs: so the recommended way of getting specific information about an executable (like what's it intended to do, which parameters it gets, any return values) is 'dpkg -S /the/file'; go to its docs, and search there? | 11:39 |
| Emuk | the most recent version cause i think they don't support 7.10 anymore | 11:39 |

| kr0gur_ | what now AAAAAARGH | 11:48 |
| raw | fho, where to type /boot/grub/menu.lst to take me there ? | 11:48 |
| fho | raw: ? | 11:48 |
| kr0gur_ | what do you do when you have a process that cannot be killed? | 11:49 |
| fho | raw: you must edit the file | 11:49 |
| talx | there is a good RDP program that i can share my desktop with XP user | 11:49 |
| fho | raw: with an text editor | 11:49 |
| HumanGod | In terminal you need to type sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:49 |
| kr0gur_ | sudo kill -9 PID **DOESN'T WORK** for gnome-panel | 11:49 |
| joaopinto | kr0gur_, if it does not die with a sudo kill -9, you will need to reboot the system to kill it | 11:49 |
| raw | thx god | 11:49 |
| fho | Hullu_Jussi: to get an Command not found error? | 11:49 |
| raw | am new fho | 11:49 |
| HumanGod | Welcome | 11:49 |
| kr0gur_ | joaopinto, so, when changing runlevel, what kernel call is made to FINALLY kill that process? | 11:49 |
| kr0gur_ | can I reproduce that? I am pretty sure it is possible | 11:49 |
| kr0gur_ | joaopinto, if the process can be killed in a reboot, there must be a way to kill it without | 11:50 |
| raw | humangod, command not found it says | 11:50 |
| DistroJockey | kr0gur_, did you do sudo killall gnome-panel | 11:50 |
| joaopinto | kr0gur_, no, it is not killable, it will be freed with the power cycling | 11:50 |
| kr0gur_ | DistroJockey, did that first | 11:50 |
| fho | raw: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:50 |
| talx | does anyone knows a good RDP program to share my desktop with WinXP user | 11:50 |
| HumanGod | On your keyboard do Alt + F2 | 11:50 |
| HumanGod | and then type terminal | 11:50 |
| joaopinto | kr0gur_, there is no way, that process is hang due to some rare unexpected condition, the kernel is unable to manage it | 11:50 |
| HumanGod | sudo gedit should work | 11:51 |
| raw | fho, now its opened but is empty file. | 11:51 |
| fho | raw: also if u new, how you can edit an file u should know :) you could also do it windows-like over the "gnome-explorer" | 11:51 |
| kr0gur_ | joaopinto, DistroJockey - did killall, and kill -9, Listen, the only two times linux has ever crashed in 3 months is this issue of a non killable process.... would be nice to find a work around | 11:51 |
| DustStar | hi | 11:51 |
| fho | raw: no the file shouldnt be empty | 11:51 |
| raboof | talx: something like VNC? | 11:51 |
| HumanGod | ok here | 11:51 |
| HumanGod | try this sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:52 |
| raw | fho, i typed sudo nano etc.. and the file opened but its empty. | 11:52 |
| talx | raboof, i think so | 11:52 |
| fho | raw: find out if the file exists | 11:52 |
| raw | humangod, now opened. | 11:52 |
| DistroJockey | kr0gur_, initially I said killall gnome-panel not sudo killall gnome-panel just making sure | 11:52 |
| raw | ok fho. | 11:52 |
| HumanGod | If the panel is a trouble use Ctrl + ALT + BAckspace to restart gnome only as a last resort | 11:53 |
| kr0gur_ | DistroJockey, I always start with killall-9 | 11:53 |
| HumanGod | Only as a last resort | 11:53 |
| kr0gur_ | then if that don't work I do sudo kill -0 | 11:53 |
| HumanGod | ok raw | 11:53 |
| kr0gur_ | *9 | 11:53 |
| HumanGod | so now it works | 11:53 |
| HumanGod | raw: does it work?? | 11:53 |
| Bryan_Sierra | I swaped a cdrom for a hardrive, and now I'm getting buffer I/O errors. I know the drive is good, because i've tried it other comps. Any help? | 11:53 |
| raw | humangod, is very difficult to edit that file ? | 11:54 |
| kr0gur_ | DistroJockey, I think it is a huge flaw that a process can optionally put itself into an unkillable state | 11:54 |
| HumanGod | raw: what you trying to edit it for? | 11:54 |
| HumanGod | bryan: what does it say when you swap it back | 11:54 |
| joaopinto | kr0gur_, there is no work around, such rare cases most of the time are caused by bugs that need to be fixed :) | 11:54 |
| joaopinto | kr0gur_, it is not the process doing it, it's the kernel | 11:54 |
| Bryan_Sierra | HumanGod, If I remove the drive and stick another drive in its place, it's fine. No buffer errors | 11:55 |
| raw | to fix my mistake i said before, humangod i want windows to start first automatically because in my family they use windows. I only use ubuntu. | 11:55 |
| kr0gur_ | joaopinto, *sheds a tear* I will reboot. I have about 100 windows open! | 11:55 |
| kr0gur_ | dorobell time | 11:55 |
| joaopinto | kr0gur_, it's called a zombie process, please do some research on the subject | 11:55 |
| Bryan_Sierra | HumanGod, I believe it's a problem with the ata drivers. | 11:55 |
| kr0gur_ | adeui | 11:55 |

| kr0gur_ | or an orphaned process | 11:55 |
| monster_ | kr0gur_: don't you mean adieu? | 11:55 |
| raboof | kr0gur_: just dropping into the conversation, you've allready tried 'kill -9'? | 11:55 |
| kr0gur_ | monster_, I meant that, but my keyboard is still taking language classes | 11:56 |
| HumanGod | raw: did you install windows first and then Ubuntu or vice versa | 11:56 |
| HumanGod | ?? | 11:56 |
| abeeky | #help | 11:56 |
| monster_ | :D | 11:56 |
| kr0gur_ | doorbelling won't work | 11:56 |

| talx | does anyone knows a good RDP program to share my desktop with WinXP user | 11:56 |

| wols | strawbeRRy_fieLd: uninstall them | 12:12 |
| wols | and you cannot use kubuntu without konqueror | 12:13 |

| strawbeRRy_fieLd | exactly what i do | 12:14 |

| strawbeRRy_fieLd | i use dolphin as a filemanager as it comes with it anyway | 12:14 |

| DistroJockey | tzd, only one I have heard of is to use flashblock | 12:19 |
| HumanGod | tzd: its a problem with the site you are viewing | 12:20 |
| HumanGod | so like distro says block flash | 12:20 |
| strawbeRRy_fieLd | its actually called slackware | 12:20 |
| tzd | HumanGod: i doubt it's a site issue since i've seen it on several major sites and it works on, dare i say it, windows ;p | 12:20 |
| HumanGod | tzd: which browser on windows | 12:21 |
| HumanGod | ?? | 12:21 |
| HumanGod | browser compatibility is the issue here | 12:21 |
| HumanGod | The OS has nothing to do with the web | 12:21 |
| tzd | DistroJockey: ok cheers | 12:21 |
| DistroJockey | tzd, you're welcome | 12:22 |
| CyberCod | morning everyone | 12:22 |
| tzd | HumanGod: ff, ie and even opera... it must be the flash drivers? | 12:22 |
| DistroJockey | tzd, it's possibly the adobe flash for linux | 12:22 |
| CyberCod | what? flash apps making ff lock up and take up 100% cpu? | 12:23 |
| tzd | DistroJockey: yeah that's the one i have installed for now... is there a better free version that might solev my issues? | 12:23 |
| HumanGod | reinstall the flash driver and use the adobe flash driver not gnash if you are using that | 12:23 |
| tzd | CyberCod: do you have adblock installed? | 12:23 |
| gman_223 | hey folks | 12:23 |
| newman0708 | what is gnash? | 12:23 |
| DistroJockey | tzd, there are others yes, but I have not tried them, so no idea if they would help | 12:23 |
| CyberCod | i'm not having major problems, just trying to find out what the issue is | 12:24 |
| HumanGod | well tats the free alternative to flash to render flash contetn | 12:24 |
| joaopinto | newman0708, its an open source implementation of flash, very limited yet | 12:24 |
| CyberCod | came in here because I was bored | 12:24 |
| gman_223 | gnash is a free swf player | 12:24 |
| newman0708 | oh, i see ,thanks | 12:24 |
| joaopinto | gman_223, not only free but also open, macromedia flash is also free :P | 12:24 |
| tzd | HumanGod: i've got the adobe one already... it works though so I'll just have to live with the on top issue | 12:24 |
| gman_223 | joaopinto: right :) | 12:24 |
| gman_223 | i got a query regarding kde4 :) | 12:25 |
| gman_223 | anyone here running kde 4? | 12:25 |
| tzd | CyberCod: your issue is perhaps an adblock related thing.... at least that was what causing my ff to go use 100 cpu | 12:25 |
| joaopinto | gman_223, probably better on #kubuntu :) | 12:25 |
| gman_223 | joaopinto: alrighty sir :) | 12:25 |
| CyberCod | I'm not using adblock... I am just having trouble because I'm using the ff3 beta in gutsy | 12:25 |
| HumanGod | tzd: I am not a flash fan myself so good luck with it lets hope that adobe supports linux better sooner than l8r | 12:25 |
| artemis | what codecs do u use ?? | 12:26 |
| HumanGod | artemis: | 12:26 |
| HumanGod | codecs for what?? | 12:26 |
| artemis | movies | 12:26 |
| gman_223 | HumanGod: i agree , i hope they come out with a linux version of photoshop and other products too | 12:26 |
| gman_223 | i would love that :) | 12:26 |
| artemis | i have sound using mp3 | 12:26 |
| tzd | HumanGod: yeah. I don't like flah that much either.. at least not until there's a sweet linux version :) | 12:26 |
| artemis | but there is no sound on movies (avi), youtube, etc | 12:26 |
| HumanGod | well just double click on the movie and it will give you a choice to install multiple codecs | 12:27 |
| gman_223 | let me goto kubuntu | 12:27 |
| gman_223 | be right back | 12:27 |
| HumanGod | gman: try pixel i use it | 12:27 |
| raw | HumanGod & fho, it works great! | 12:27 |
| fho | raw: you're welcome :) | 12:27 |
| raw | HumanGod, but it says Other operating systems and is empty but ok. ;p am trying to fix that too ;p | 12:28 |
| HumanGod | artemis: check sound drivers | 12:28 |
| HumanGod | uncommment the line with no operating systems | 12:28 |
| artemis | HumanGod: everything is on alsa | 12:28 |
| raw | oki | 12:29 |
| hkl | helloo? | 12:29 |
| HumanGod | tzd: you should check open lazzo if you are interested it I hope is the future | 12:29 |
| moncojhr | how do i get drag and drop to work with foobar in wine | 12:29 |
| Zikey | Hi, do you know why there are two files: /etc/passwd & /etc/passwd- (or /etc/shadow & /etc/shadow-) ? | 12:30 |
| tzd | HumanGod: ah thanks, will have a look into that one | 12:30 |
| hkl | idk does wine work with counter strike | 12:30 |
| HumanGod | raw: good to know you got it working uncomment that line | 12:30 |
| HumanGod | sorry its open lazzlo | 12:30 |
| DistroJockey | Zikey, those are usually backups made by certain editors | 12:30 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 12:30 |
| raw | humangod, thanks :) | 12:31 |
| Zikey | k DistroJockey thx :) | 12:31 |
| DistroJockey | Zikey, no problem :) | 12:31 |
| HumanGod | artemis: try tweaking the alsa driver file are you on a laptop | 12:31 |
| hkl | -=-=-=-=-=hey does any1know if wine works with counter strike source=-=-=-=-? | 12:31 |
| Zikey | last question, is that ok to manually edit passwd/group/shadow to add a user rather than going trough adduser/group ? in other words, does adduser/group modify some other files than these 3 ones ? | 12:32 |
| DistroJockey | !appdb | hkl | 12:32 |
| ubottu | hkl: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 12:32 |

| ozkelligirl | ubottu how are you? | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about how are you? | 12:33 |
| Oli`` | !ask | uojn | 12:33 |
| ubottu | uojn: 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. :-) | 12:33 |
| hkl | yes.. i just switched from win xp tolinux thisosiskinda cofusing | 12:34 |
| newman0708 | I like Empire II very much ,but i can't with in wine,who can show some useful message, | 12:34 |
| hkl | th-os-is-kinda confusing to me | 12:34 |
| hkl | hmm | 12:34 |
| Oli`` | hkl: appdb will give you the most tips on how to run specific Windows apps under Wine | 12:34 |
| newman0708 | I like Empire II very much ,but i can't play it in wine,who can show some useful message, | 12:34 |
| illuminate | is someone avaliable to help me with install java..? | 12:35 |
| hkl | is that program in cedega | 12:35 |
| HumanGod | hkl: its just the start. once you get the hang of it you will love it | 12:35 |
| hkl | k | 12:35 |
| ForsakenSoul|Zzz | hey guys ... how do you open multiword files in the console ? | 12:35 |
| Oli`` | !java | illuminate | 12:35 |
| ubottu | illuminate: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 12:35 |
| CyberCod | hkl: how good were you at using windows? | 12:35 |
| HumanGod | yeah cedega lets you play windows games on linux | 12:35 |
| hkl | VERRY good @ windows | 12:35 |
| CyberCod | ok | 12:35 |
| uojn | !ask i have a notebook compaq cq50-103LA, and I've tryed to run live version ubuntu (lastes version on the web), and i have a athlon x2 64. And... It doesn't run! What do i need to install in this processor?. | 12:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:35 |
| Oli`` | ForsakenSoul|Zzz: you mean filenames with spaces? escape the space with a backslash | 12:35 |
| DistroJockey | illuminate, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 12:35 |
| ForsakenSoul|Zzz | Oli``: yeah | 12:35 |
| HumanGod | Human beings resist change | 12:35 |
| === ForsakenSoul|Zzz is now known as ForsakenSoul | ||
| HumanGod | ;) | 12:36 |
| hkl | lol | 12:36 |
| Oli`` | ForsakenSoul: so "file name" becomes "file\ name" | 12:36 |
| CyberCod | hkl: the more you were familiar with windows, the more out of place you will feel when changing to something different. this is natural | 12:36 |
| elo | I have a problem with Firefox ... yesterday I had sound with my flash movies, but today there is no sound. The only thing I did different is I added some restricted modules or something that MPlayer was asking for to play an .avi (Hardy Heron) | 12:36 |
| illuminate | ah, ok. i ran ' sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre', and i got a message about it being 'broken' | 12:36 |
| uojn | !ask i have a notebook compaq cq50-103LA, and I've tryed to run live version ubuntu (lastes version on the web), and i have a athlon x2 64. And... It doesn't run! What do i need to install in this processor?. | 12:36 |

| ozkelligirl | anyone know the best and easiest way to down load video from sites like u-tube | 12:36 |
| hkl | yes i know that lol | 12:36 |
| HumanGod | elo upgrade to the new distro | 12:36 |
| elo | new ubuntu? | 12:37 |
| DistroJockey | illuminate, plugin is for browser related java | 12:37 |
| HumanGod | yeah | 12:37 |
| hkl | what distro is that | 12:37 |
| CyberCod | hkl: here's an article that talks about it http://straightshootincomputin.blogspot.com/2008/08/ssc-73-time-to-face-change.html | 12:37 |
| uojn | hey. | 12:37 |
| elo | that's a pretty hefty task just to get audio that existed yesterday | 12:37 |
| DistroJockey | ozkelligirl, so that thread I mentioned did not help? | 12:37 |
| HumanGod | sorry i meant upgrase the os | 12:37 |
| uojn | anybody?. | 12:37 |
| hkl | thanks brb (looking at it) | 12:37 |
| ozkelligirl | no did not | 12:37 |
| HumanGod | oh god.. i meant update the os | 12:37 |
| newman0708 | I like Empire II very much ,but i can't play it in wine,who can show some useful message, | 12:37 |
| hkl | yeah | 12:38 |
| moncojhr | how do i run something in a directory with a space in bash | 12:38 |
| hkl | i i am still here | 12:38 |
| Oli`` | uojn: It's not the processors that's the problem (I'm running on an X2) but likely the laptop. I'm not familiar with it so I cant really be much more help than that | 12:38 |
| hkl | HumanGod: I am still here | 12:38 |
| Oli`` | moncojhr: escape the space with a backslash: ./file\ name | 12:38 |
| uojn | Ok Oli. | 12:39 |
| illuminate | DistroJockey, thank you. it says "setting up sun-java6-plugin 96-06-0ubuntu1) | 12:39 |
| HumanGod | elo: update all the necessary updates | 12:39 |
| DistroJockey | ozkelligirl, sorry then. (It's 5 pages long and the first page covers many ways) | 12:39 |
| uojn | dont worry | 12:39 |
| uojn | . | 12:39 |
| elo | HumanGod, my system is up to date... Like I said, yesterday I installed something for mplayer and I think that is what is doing it | 12:39 |
| hkl | Byeguys thanks for your help | 12:39 |
| Zikey | adduser adds a user, but what is the command to remove a user ? there is no removeuser | 12:39 |
| DistroJockey | illuminate, you're welcome | 12:39 |
| elo | Zikey, deluser ? | 12:39 |
| HumanGod | hkl: TC | 12:39 |
| Zikey | thx elo :) | 12:39 |
| kbrosnan | elo: see the start of the know issues at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 12:40 |
| gman_223 | ok back here | 12:40 |
| moncojhr | Oli, it didnt work for me? this is what im trying to do fb2k="wine /root/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/foobar2000/foobar2000.exe" | 12:40 |
| HumanGod | elo : I think an upgrade should fix it.. My suggestion | 12:40 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 12:40 |
| gman_223 | HumanGod: nice nick :d | 12:41 |
| HumanGod | thanks gman | 12:41 |
| Oli`` | moncojhr: why is .wine in /root?! | 12:41 |
| moncojhr | why not ^_^ | 12:41 |
| elo | it says my syste is up to date though | 12:41 |
| Oli`` | moncojhr: because that's a really awesomely easy way to turn your install into dust | 12:41 |
| elo | thats what i dont get | 12:41 |
| moncojhr | cool, so how do i get this to work | 12:42 |
| HumanGod | moncojhr: bad practise to enable the root user | 12:42 |
| HumanGod | use sudo | 12:42 |
| HumanGod | to install | 12:42 |
| moncojhr | but it saves me some keystrokes D: | 12:42 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 12:43 |
| gman_223 | lol moncojhr | 12:43 |
| HumanGod | I understand but security is very important | 12:43 |
| HumanGod | and thats the essense of linux after all | 12:43 |
| moncojhr | well, at the moment i just dont care if it blows up | 12:44 |
| gman_223 | lol | 12:44 |
| HumanGod | lol | 12:44 |
| gman_223 | <<hands moncojhr a rdx stick ;) | 12:44 |
| HumanGod | is foobar supported by wine | 12:44 |
| moncojhr | yeah it works good | 12:44 |
| moncojhr | but drag and drop isnt working for me | 12:44 |
| cih997 | hi, what antivirus for ubuntu are You using for checking i.e. windows files from internet? | 12:45 |
| moncojhr | vmware | 12:45 |
| elo | W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 <-- any ideas? | 12:45 |
| gman_223 | cih997: mostly you dont need an anti virus on nix | 12:45 |
| HumanGod | oh ok.. I can suggest an alternative but i don know if it will work try using crossover office | 12:45 |
| DistroJockey | !antivirus | cih997 | 12:45 |
| Oli`` | cih997: AVG do a good Linux AV. There's ClamAV as a free/OSS AV | 12:45 |
| ubottu | cih997: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 12:45 |
| gman_223 | but if ya want ya can install clam or avast | 12:45 |
| moncojhr | what about security !!! | 12:45 |
| HumanGod | but no guarantees | 12:45 |
| gman_223 | most have linux version | 12:45 |
| gman_223 | moncojhr: heard of mediamonkey? | 12:46 |
| wols | moncojhr: you won't ever encounter a linux virus | 12:46 |
| gman_223 | HumanGod: welcome back sir | 12:46 |
| wols | if you do, chances are no AV recognizes it | 12:46 |
| HumanGod | sorry connection got disconn | 12:47 |
| wols | elo: read the medibuntu instructions | 12:47 |
| moncojhr | is there something like \n for spaces | 12:47 |
| gman_223 | spaces where? | 12:47 |
| wols | moncojhr: what context? | 12:47 |
| wols | e.g. in bash there is "\ " | 12:47 |
| moncojhr | well i have a bash script... fb2k="wine /root/.wine/drive_c/Program\\ Files/foobar2000/foobar2000.exe" | 12:48 |
| moncojhr | looks like that | 12:48 |
| raziel | one question please: i get an eror about not been able to read the .ICEauthority file when i am tryingto log in in a portable usb. Does anyone knows about that bug? also happened in kubuntu when tryed to make a portable instalation | 12:48 |
| wols | moncojhr: that dual backslash is bad | 12:48 |
| HumanGod_ | viruses on a linux machine are few | 12:48 |
| moncojhr | yeah i was messing i tried "\ " and it didnt work | 12:48 |

| gman_223 | moncojhr: 1 more thing | 12:48 |
| gman_223 | moncojhr: this is windows \, this is linux / | 12:48 |
| HumanGod | so dont worry as long as you dont compromise security by enabling the root account and stuff | 12:48 |
| wols | jansen: you don't get them. you use the ubuntu nvidia packages | 12:49 |
| gman_223 | \n is the newline character | 12:49 |

| raboof | moepman: perhaps 'dmesg' output gives any pointers? (not sure whether that comes from the filesystem) | 12:56 |
| Slart | raziel: can you ssh to the system? | 12:56 |
| Slart | raziel: nevermind.. wrong nick | 12:56 |
| Slart | moepman: can you ssh to the machine? | 12:56 |
| moepman | raboof, no, seems to be something with the kernel. DistroJockey no, reading is no prob, but what should i read if nothing is writen | 12:57 |

| KiDFlaSh | try google | 12:57 |
| isplicer | when I run conky from the terminal, it displays as its own window... can someone help... im new to openbox | 12:58 |
| moepman | Slart, nothing that seems to be an error | 12:58 |
| Slart | isplicer: it's a setting in the conkyrc | 12:58 |
| isplicer | Slart: which setting do I change in the conky config file? | 12:58 |
| Slart | moepman: try "less /var/log/syslog" and look further back.. there ought to be an error of some kind | 12:58 |
| Slart | isplicer: you'd have to check the conky documentation for that | 12:58 |

| Slart | moepman: well.. without any error messages it's hard to know what might be wrong.. but it should be in the logs... | 13:02 |
| strAlan | bazhang: did you ever consider that perhaps I typed in the wrong channel ? | 13:02 |
| xintron | what is the name of that little volume control thingy in the tray? | 13:03 |
| Slart | xintron: gnome-volume-control I think | 13:03 |
| icedwater | xintron: is it gnome-volume-control? | 13:03 |
| === HumanGod_ is now known as HumanGod_hey | ||
| Pici | Not to be confused with gnome-volume-manager, which deals with storage volumes. | 13:03 |
| === HumanGod_hey is now known as Human | ||
| xintron | Slart and icedwater: well, running gnome-volume-control gives me the controlles, but I'm using fluxbox and would like the tray icon for easy access | 13:04 |
| === Human is now known as God | ||
| === God is now known as GodisHuman | ||
| Slart | xintron: it isn't a tray icon.. if you watch closely it's placed on the gnome-panel.. not in the tray | 13:05 |
| Slart | xintron: but I think there's something similar available for xfce | 13:05 |
| xintron | Slart: ah, ok :) Is there any chance I can get it in fluxbox then? | 13:05 |
| icedwater | Hm, yeah, it's not part of the tray. Fluxbox ... well, which version of Ubuntu are you running? | 13:05 |
| xintron | icedwater: hardy | 13:05 |
| icedwater | xintron: maybe you can try apt-cache search volume and see if there is any for X11 or Fluxbox... | 13:05 |
| Slart | xintron: sorry.. fluxbox.. I have no idea then.. never used fluxbox | 13:06 |
| xintron | didn't find anything but I guess alsamixer in the terminal works :/ | 13:09 |
| stryd_one | hi all | 13:09 |
| stryd_one | anyone here who could give me some advice regarding multi-screen setups? | 13:09 |
| Oli`` | Is sauerbraten broken in the repo? It says it needs a dependency but the one available has the wrong version | 13:10 |
| vox | stryd_one: sure | 13:10 |
| vox | stryd_one: ask your question(s) | 13:10 |
| moncojhr | im going to explode T_T | 13:10 |
| GodisHuman | stryd | 13:10 |
| erUSUL | !xinerama | stryd_one | 13:10 |
| GodisHuman | ask the q | 13:10 |
| ubottu | stryd_one: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 13:10 |
| stryd_one | ta vox... as far as i can tell, it's twinview (i'm using an nvidia), xrandr, xinerama... did i miss one? | 13:11 |
| Oli`` | stryd_one: Twinview > xinerama | 13:11 |
| stryd_one | well, i don't want the one-big-screen thing | 13:11 |
| === GodisHuman is now known as HumanGod | ||
| stryd_one | if this helps at all, i'm coming from windows with ultramon | 13:11 |
| raziel | i get an eror about not been able to read the .ICEauthority file when i am tryingto log in in a portable usb.also happened in kubuntu when tried to make a portable instalation. i tried to change ownership but that didnt work either, someone plz? | 13:12 |
| arvind_khadri | How do i setup my HP all in one... sudo hp-setup doesn't help | 13:12 |
| HumanGod | you have twin monitor settings in the default gnome display manager | 13:12 |
| Oli`` | stryd_one: you want twinview. install the nvidia driver. then install nvidia-settings and play with that | 13:12 |
| HumanGod | once you install nvidia | 13:12 |
| HumanGod | drivers | 13:12 |
| stryd_one | i like to be able to maximise an app to both screens, but also to maximise to just one screen or the other, and to be able to switch screens quickly | 13:12 |
| regel | stryd_one: HumanGod should be right this time | 13:12 |
| stryd_one | i have it setup with twinview but it doesnt seem to be what i'm after | 13:13 |
| Oli`` | stryd_one: twinview only lets you max to one screen (as far as I can see), but you can stretch a window over both manually if you so wish | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | stryd_one, being able to max to 'both' or a single. will be a bit harder to setup. if its even possible at all without some fancy tricks. | 13:13 |
| HumanGod | ok.. But I am not sure why you would want to do that anything special | 13:14 |
| HumanGod | wont it break the window in two pieces | 13:14 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 13:14 |
| SeveredCross | stryd_one: I'm not sure you can maximinze acros different monitors even with Xinerama. | 13:14 |
| stryd_one | sometimes that's not a problem | 13:14 |
| stryd_one | (to split it in half) | 13:14 |
| HumanGod | oh well as far as I know thats as far as you can go | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | SeveredCross, from what i recall xinerama can do that.. and it does it badly and always the wrong way. :) | 13:14 |
| HumanGod | but can give you a solution | 13:15 |
| HumanGod | you could instead of maximizing drag and increase the size of the window | 13:15 |
| stryd_one | wel i'm glad you mention that, thanks fo the segue to queston #2 :) | 13:15 |
| HumanGod | to fit both screens | 13:15 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | then theres the various apps/video plauers/games that do 'full screen' vs Maxaizing | 13:16 |
| raziel | i get an eror about not been able to read the .ICEauthority file when i am tryingto log in in a portable usb.also happened in kubuntu when tried to make a portable instalation. i tried to change ownership but that didnt work either | 13:16 |
| stryd_one | yaknow how you can use alt+click/drag to move | 13:16 |
| stryd_one | i'm using a tool on windoze that does the same, and also allows ctrl+click/drag to resize | 13:16 |
| stryd_one | i don't suppose that's possible? | 13:17 |
| Oli`` | stryd_one: alt+middle-drag | 13:17 |
| haichman | can install backtrack software in ubuntu? howa can i do?plz | 13:17 |
| Oli`` | stryd_one: (in compiz anyway) | 13:17 |
| stryd_one | ah darn, there's a question #3 i hadnt thought of | 13:17 |
| stryd_one | i am seeing quite a few references to middle-click in linux land | 13:17 |
| Pici | haichman: You can install some of the software included on backtrack in Ubuntu, but Backtrack itself is a distribution of its own. | 13:18 |
| stryd_one | i use middle click on my mouse to switch the gearwheel (it's one of those logitechs) | 13:18 |
| haichman | yes i know | 13:18 |
| HumanGod | stryd setup your compiz | 13:18 |
| HumanGod | with the keys you like | 13:18 |
| Pici | haichman: Search the repositories for some of the tools | 13:18 |

| Pici | !software > haichman | 13:18 |
| ubottu | haichman, please see my private message | 13:18 |
| stryd_one | ahh thank humangod | 13:18 |
| Slart | haichman: what software do you want to install? | 13:19 |
| haichman | security software | 13:19 |
| stryd_one | i was about to do that anyway cause i'm trying to figure out how to turn off all the blingy animations and fades and such that appeared when i got my video card driver going | 13:19 |
| Oli`` | stryd_one: yeah as HumanGod says you can customise all the shortcuts. You'll need ccsm but it should be possible | 13:19 |
| haichman | ubottu: thanks | 13:19 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 13:19 |
| Pici | haichman: It depends from one application to the next whether its available in the repos. | 13:19 |
| HumanGod | cusomize keystrokes for anything in ccsm | 13:20 |
| haichman | pici : ok | 13:20 |
| stryd_one | i take it that ccsm is tho compix configuration tool? | 13:20 |
| stryd_one | ahh ok | 13:20 |
| Slart | !ccsm | 13:20 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 13:20 |

| moncojhr | so is there an audio player that doesnt suck for linux D: | 13:20 |
| stryd_one | are compiz and compiz fusion the same thing? | 13:21 |

| Slart | moncojhr: audacious, songbird, amarok.. suckiness.. eye of beholder.. yadda yadda | 13:21 |
| HumanGod | amarok is an awesome audio player | 13:21 |
| moncojhr | ok ill try it again | 13:21 |
| moncojhr | i need to be able to use .cue sheets | 13:21 |
| Nauraushaun | Neehelp | 13:21 |
| Nauraushaun | Need* :\ | 13:22 |
| HumanGod | yeah naur | 13:22 |
| Nauraushaun | I'm trying to scan my Windows drive for viruses, running the latest version of Ubuntu, live off the CD. I need to mount the drive? How is that done? | 13:22 |
| rtz4783 | moncojhr: what have .cue sheets to do with audio playing? | 13:22 |
| Slart | moncojhr: I have no idea then.. never used .cue sheets | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | Nauraushaun, you do have to have the 'filesystem' mounted. to access the files on it. | 13:22 |
| HumanGod | you need to enable ntfs-3g | 13:22 |
| HumanGod | it comes by default now | 13:23 |
| HumanGod | so you can access it easily | 13:23 |
| rtz4783 | HumanGod: i think it's even enabled by default | 13:23 |
| Nauraushaun | Err | 13:23 |
| HumanGod | go to places and then computer | 13:23 |
| arvind_khadri | Dr_willis, i have a hp all in one.. deskjet f2200 series... i am unable to install it using hp-setup | 13:23 |
| moncojhr | cue sheet with information about when tracks start and stop... so you can go between tracks | 13:23 |
| HumanGod | and then you should be able to access your drive | 13:24 |
| HumanGod | rtz: thanks for rem | 13:24 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 13:24 |
| Nauraushaun | It says unable to mount the volume. | 13:24 |
| rtz4783 | moncojhr: okay, i don't need that since i only play mp3 and ogg which are already seperate songs | 13:24 |
| HumanGod | then do this in terminal type sudo nautilus | 13:25 |
| HumanGod | and then try the same thing | 13:25 |
| Pici | !gksudo | HumanGod Nauraushaun | 13:25 |
| ubottu | HumanGod Nauraushaun: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:25 |
| Slart | moncojhr: apparently there is a cue sheet plugin for audacious.. it seems to have some bugs though | 13:25 |
| HumanGod | never had a prob with sudo its something we could debate later on | 13:25 |
| moncojhr | yeah i tried, its shittttttttttt | 13:25 |
| HumanGod | use gksudo for now | 13:25 |
| HumanGod | thanks pici | 13:26 |
| Pici | moncojhr: Watch your language | 13:26 |
| Slart | moncojhr: and it seems amarok does cue sheets also | 13:26 |
| Nauraushaun | "Unable to add monitor. Not supported" | 13:26 |

| Nauraushaun | In fact, it seems to have a lot of issues. | 13:26 |

| HumanGod | yeah then it will open the file manager | 13:27 |

| Dr_willis | You can always 'force' the mounting of the ntfs filesystems.. but thats not a good idea | 13:38 |
| HumanGod | you could corrupt files | 13:39 |
| * unop i guess no one saw the ntfsfix suggestion | 13:39 | |
| Dr_willis | and hibernating/suspending windows - is NOT the same as 'shutting down windows' properly. the windows ntfs filesystems will still be tagged as 'in use' from what ive seen on my laptop | 13:39 |

| Avi_IRC | how do i check the package version | 13:46 |
| DigiFly | audio is here for linux everytime he brainbreaker | 13:46 |
| HumanGod | narev use infra recorder | 13:46 |
| Narev | Yes, not on the machine I am going to put ub on though | 13:46 |
| ben_ | Narev, http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm | 13:46 |
| joaopinto | Avi_IRC, apt-cache policy package | 13:46 |
| ifireball | arvind_khadri: I stumbled upon this problem as well, is seems the way USB is done has changed in hardy and HP havn't updated their drivers accordingly | 13:46 |
| joaopinto | Avi_IRC, anyway, do not expect to have the latest version, for that you will need to use envyng | 13:46 |
| Avi_IRC | W: Unable to locate package package | 13:46 |
| Narev | I have a copy of suse 10, but have heard such good things about ub I wanted to try it | 13:46 |
| arvind_khadri | ifireball, oh ok... so do we mark a bug? | 13:46 |
| ben_ | Narev, suse isnt great | 13:47 |
| ifireball | arvind_khadri: printing works because sane is ably to use the HAL backend rather then the HP one | 13:47 |
| joaopinto | Avi_IRC, are you using the restricted (ATI) drivers ? | 13:47 |
| Avi_IRC | yes | 13:47 |
| Narev | I know, I couldn't even get my ATI card working | 13:47 |
| arvind_khadri | ifireball, oh ... the scan button on the printer doesnt do anything | 13:47 |
| tolis | how can i install a program without add/remove ? | 13:47 |
| HumanGod | now you need to enable ati drivers | 13:47 |
| joaopinto | tolis, sudo apt-get add/remove | 13:47 |
| ifireball | arvind_khadri: there is already such a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/181242 | 13:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 181242 in hplip "[Hardy]HP printer is not detected properly by HPLIP" [Critical,Confirmed] | 13:47 |
| Avi_IRC | yes i am | 13:47 |
| Narev | I have a question about partitions | 13:47 |
| HumanGod | fglrx drivers | 13:48 |
| joaopinto | Avi_IRC, sorry, the name is xorg-driver-fglrx | 13:48 |
| Narev | I have partition magic, and I intend to use WINE to play games on Ubuntu | 13:48 |
| HumanGod | fglrx drivers for ATI | 13:48 |
| Avi_IRC | so how do i check | 13:48 |
| Narev | Will I need a separfate FAT32 partition in addition to my Ub one? | 13:48 |
| joaopinto | Narev, please split your questions, since partition magic and wine are not related | 13:48 |
| Whiz2 | ok... so ubuntu does something even windows can't do :p | 13:48 |
| arvind_khadri | ifireball, oh ... Hp should be contacted... scanning works through xsane | 13:49 |
| joaopinto | Narev, you don't need to use partitin magic, please use the ubuntu partition editor during the install | 13:49 |
| Whiz2 | ewwww partition magic | 13:49 |
| joaopinto | Narev, you don't need FAT32 to run a windows app from Wine | 13:49 |
| Avi_IRC | bash: xorg-driver-fglrx: command not found | 13:49 |
| Narev | If you took the time to read the second sentence, you would see that they are in fact both relevant | 13:49 |
| HumanGod | use gparted live CD | 13:49 |
| tolis | how can i install a program without add/remove?? | 13:49 |
| HumanGod | for partitioning | 13:49 |
| joaopinto | Avi_IRC, erm: apt-cache policy xorg-driver-fglrx | 13:49 |
| ifireball | arvind_khadri: oh? you have it working with Xsane? it doesn't detect my scanner | 13:49 |
| im_not_a_geek | hello, can some one pless help me, im got a eeepc 900, and i want ubuntu 7.04 on it. | 13:49 |

| MrStein | Hi! What packages are needed for compiling vanilla kernels ? I have a fresh Ubuntu 8.04.1 amd64 install and it complains about missing sys/types.h | 13:56 |
| === rogerramjet is now known as timbouk | ||
| arvind_khadri | ifireball, hmm can happen... the libs keep changing but not the drivers... | 13:56 |
| joaopinto | Avi_IRC, you should install drivers from the ATI directly, you should use the versions from the repositories, those are properly tested to work with Ubuntu | 13:56 |
| arvind_khadri | MrStein, ask #kernel | 13:56 |
| joaopinto | i mean, you should not | 13:57 |
| unop | MrStein, sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image | 13:57 |
| tolis | why when i type (sudo apt-get add/remove the name of the program) terminal says (not valid operation) ?? (sorry bout i am new at linux) | 13:57 |
| ifireball | arvind_khadri: indeed, have you noticed that "lspci" doe not work as well nowdays? | 13:57 |
| jkatana | answer, used sudo dpkg --config -a, reinstalled firefox and some other programs I think | 13:57 |
| joaopinto | tolis, you must use either add or remove, not both | 13:57 |
| ifireball | arvind_khadri: I mean "lsusb" | 13:57 |
| Avi_IRC | joaopinto: how do i do it now? | 13:57 |
| znoG_ | Hi, anyone know how to determine what configure options prevu uses when compiling a package? where does it get them from? | 13:57 |

| [z]linux | how can i install compiz fusion in hardy? | 14:01 |
| humphrey | Hi All. I've got a IDE HDD with a single NTFS partition on it. In trying to fix grub, I tried installing the bootloader to both that disk, and that partition. How I can't access the data on that NTFS that partition. Anybody got any ideas? | 14:01 |
| grobda24 | [z]linux, you just have to turn it on. I think it's there by default (?). | 14:01 |
| [z]linux | grobda24: i cant find the advance settings | 14:02 |
| tolis | have any matter if i am adiministratot or normal user to use the commands at terminal? | 14:02 |
| grobda24 | humphrey, I think there's a specific option in grub for NTFS. | 14:02 |
| grobda24 | [z]linux, install "compiz settings manager". | 14:03 |
| Whiz2 | humphrey: i suggest formatting the disk to ext3 unless there is a windows installation on it | 14:04 |
| unop | arvind_khadri, indeed ..as your factoid to him says .. it's also implied. | 14:04 |
| unop | tolis, you should try and do as much as you can as a normal user and only become the superuser when absolutely needed | 14:05 |
| PPKuma | hi, do i need the UUID to create a new entry in the fstab file? | 14:05 |
| unop | PPKuma, you don't need to .. but it's better if you use the UUID style entries | 14:05 |
| humphrey | grobda24, so if I redo it with the ntfs option, do you think i'll be able to mount it? | 14:06 |
| PPKuma | unop: where can i get this number? | 14:06 |
| unop | PPKuma, sudo blkid /dev/sdXX | 14:06 |
| corigo | Regarding downloading the ISO, is there any way to download a bit torrent? | 14:06 |
| corigo | anywhere I should say | 14:06 |
| PPKuma | unop: thx | 14:06 |
| humphrey | Whiz2: I've got a heap of data on that disk that I don't want to loose... | 14:06 |
| Whiz2 | humphrey: have you tried accessing it with windows since you installed grub? | 14:07 |
| Bodsda | corigo, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 14:07 |
| sjovan | humphrey: why don't you just mount the disk in linux? | 14:07 |
| Whiz2 | sjovan: he said he can't | 14:07 |
| humphrey | sjovan: I'm trying to mount it in linux | 14:07 |
| lennad | hi, when i run the configure, i met the problem: hecking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 14:08 |
| lennad | how to solve this problem? | 14:08 |
| sjovan | humphrey: what error do you get then? do you use ntfs-3g? | 14:08 |
| tolis | why when i worte (sudo apt-get add [and the name of the program])terminal says not valid operation add?? | 14:08 |
| sjovan | tolis: sudo apt-get install <--- is the command | 14:08 |
| arvind_khadri | tolis, what do you want to achieve | 14:08 |
| Bodsda | tolis, install not add | 14:08 |
| humphrey | Whiz2, No, I haven't tried it in windows. I haven't got it booting into vista correctly yet. I think I broke that too!! :-) | 14:08 |
| lennad | hi, what x library should i intall | 14:08 |
| lennad | anyone help me?? | 14:09 |
| fsufitch | hello all | 14:09 |
| tolis | it works thanks!! | 14:09 |
| arvind_khadri | !hi | fsufitch | 14:09 |
| ubottu | fsufitch: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:09 |
| sipior | lennad: try xserver-xorg-dev | 14:09 |
| joaopinto | lennad, what are you trying to install ? | 14:09 |
| PPKuma | is there a way to know what devices i have unmounted? | 14:09 |
| Whiz2 | humphrey: ouch! if you had a vista installation on that disk, and you added grub to it, then I think you broke it, and would need to reinstall Vista. GRUB overwrites other boot loaders (like vista) | 14:09 |
| fsufitch | arvind_khadri: thanks :-P | 14:09 |
| Whiz2 | humphrey: linux is not designed to boot from an NTFS disk | 14:10 |
| unop | Whiz2, grub is tho. | 14:10 |
| Aren | eh? | 14:10 |
| unop | Whiz2, you can setup grub to chainload the windows bootloader | 14:11 |
| Aren | what's wrong with grub and vista? | 14:11 |
| Dethray | use the recovery console | 14:11 |
| joaopinto | Whiz2, grub does allow to boot from a 3rd party OS, like Vista on NTFS | 14:11 |
| fsufitch | i got a problem with my compiz. every few minutes or so, my computer moves compiz's memory from the ram to the hard drive. this causes a brief but terrible slowdown in all my effects until it's all moved back to ram again. i have plenty of ram available so i dont see why this happens. can i prevent it manually? | 14:11 |
| gul | hello! i'm an very staified ubuntu user, and using it all the time on my main computer. however, i got a family member that needs to erase ubuntu from his computer and then resize the ntsf partition. i'm coming short in this scenario as i'm usually do it the other way around. anyone care to explain how to do this? do i have to DD the partition before resizing? need some help.. :) | 14:11 |
| Aren | chainloader +1 | 14:11 |
| Whiz2 | unop: perhaps, but it still overwrites any previously installed bootl oader stored in the MBR | 14:11 |
| lennad | ngirard: ok, i will try to install the latest version Kile.2.0.1 | 14:11 |
| humphrey | whiz2, yeah, I know... I've got it working, booting grub off a ext2 partition. It was just in my frustration of not geting ubuntu to boot, I tried installing the boot loader everywhere :-) | 14:11 |
| lennad | hi, when i run the configure, i met the problem: hecking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 14:11 |
| unop | Whiz2, by default yes .. but there's nothing wrong with that | 14:11 |
| gul | DD the linux partition* | 14:12 |
| joaopinto | gul, do you want to rever to a full windows system ? is that your question ? | 14:12 |
| Whiz2 | unop: i tried that on my vista laptop, and was not able to boot from vista again until I reformmatted the drive and restored it to manufacturer's defaults | 14:12 |
| sipior | lennad: did you try installing xserver-xorg-dev? | 14:12 |
| gaurav | hello | 14:12 |
| gaurav | got stuck up with my ntfs | 14:12 |
| PPKuma | is there a way to know what devices i have unmounted? | 14:12 |
| humphrey | sjovan, gparted says that it can't read the contents of the filesystem | 14:12 |
| gul | joaopinto: well thats what my step father needs to, because of small hd on this laptop | 14:13 |
| unop | Whiz2, your efforts were in vain .. grub is fully capable of booting windows on another partition | 14:13 |
| Whiz2 | humphrey: are you using ntfs-3g? | 14:13 |
| arvind_khadri | !ntfs | gaurav | 14:13 |
| ubottu | gaurav: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 14:13 |
| mydoghasworms | Why does Ubuntu suddenly complain about not being able to authenticate packages? | 14:13 |
| unop | PPKuma, issue the mount command at a terminal. | 14:13 |
| sjovan | humphrey: have you installed ntfs-3g (like i asked before)? | 14:13 |
| arvind_khadri | mydoghasworms, as those packages are third party | 14:13 |
| humphrey | whiz2, I think so... is that the default for 8.04? | 14:13 |
| gaurav | well i tried many things | 14:13 |
| mydoghasworms | arvind_khadri: No, any packages I install, including the standard ones. | 14:14 |
| joaopinto | gul, I guess that in your case the best place for help is ##windows, since your activities are windows related :) | 14:14 |
| gaurav | and what i found is dat my NTFS partation is being bugged up or cracked | 14:14 |
| Whiz2 | unop: not completely in vain... it ran ubuntu just (resized the vista partition and made a new one for linux) just always crashed or hung when trying to start vista | 14:14 |
| sjovan | !ntfs-3g | humphrey | 14:14 |
| ubottu | humphrey: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 14:14 |
| gaurav | can i have the simple way to repair or restor the data | 14:14 |
| gul | joapinto: need to get rid of data on the linux partition, then convert it to ntsf then merge it with the existing ntsf partition is what i need to do | 14:14 |
| humphrey | sjovan: just checking synaptic now | 14:14 |
| gul | joapinto: oh ok thanks | 14:14 |

| sjovan | humphrey: i don't think it's default... look at the ubottu link | 14:15 |
| humphrey | djovan, ntfs-3g is isntalled | 14:15 |
| arvind_khadri | mydoghasworms, no idea | 14:15 |
| sjovan | humphrey: k, then have you mounted the disk the correct way? did you take a look at the link | 14:15 |
| DanielDevine | I can't seem to login using ssh. | 14:15 |
| DanielDevine | anybody come across this before? | 14:16 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: was it working earlier? | 14:16 |
| DanielDevine | nope. | 14:16 |
| sjovan | DanielDevine: have you installed open-ssh? | 14:16 |
| DanielDevine | yep | 14:16 |
| DanielDevine | and sshd is running | 14:16 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: i.e. what did you change that made it stop working? :-) | 14:16 |
| joaopinto | DanielDevine, what is the error that you get when you try to login ? | 14:16 |
| sjovan | DanielDevine: what error do you get? is the port open?= | 14:16 |
| DanielDevine | nothing. it was never working. | 14:16 |
| DanielDevine | the port is open | 14:16 |
| Pici | DanielDevine: Which package did you install, what user are you trying to login as? | 14:17 |

| gaurav | is there any way i can restor my currupted NTFS | 14:17 |
| Cyberia | Hi there, could anyone help me with a disk partitioning problem? | 14:17 |
| Whiz2 | unop: shouldn't have to do that... especially since grub installs itself automatically when you install ubuntu | 14:17 |
| sjovan | !ask | Cyberia | 14:17 |
| dava | How do I change the rights to access my new harddrive? | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Cyberia: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 14:17 |
| Cyberia | My bad, ok | 14:17 |
| unop | Whiz2, that's to configure grub to boot another operating system .. which usually isn't done automatically. | 14:17 |
| sjovan | dava: man chown and man chmod | 14:18 |
| DanielDevine | "ssh -l devine 192.168.1.5 -p 22" ---> Enter Password [I enter it again and again] ---> it fails every time | 14:18 |
| tolis | the command sudo apt-get install works if i have download the program? | 14:18 |
| Whiz2 | unop: done after install? | 14:18 |
| === co_ckp_keabisan_ is now known as co_ba | ||

| tolis | yea | 14:18 |
| gaurav | is there any way to repair the NTFS partation frm LINUX | 14:18 |
| unop | Whiz2, as far as i know .. no, you have to set it up manually | 14:18 |
| sjovan | dava: mhm... -> man <- is a powerfull tool | 14:18 |
| reikalusikka | I have ubuntu and windows vista on my notebook, I can see my windows files(another drive) but virtual box can't. Is it possible to install vista on ubuntu on the windows drive? | 14:18 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: do you have access to the other machine's logs? also, are you sure the login is correct on the other machine? | 14:18 |
| murlidhar | any torrent client based on ncurses . except rtorrent | 14:18 |
| Whiz2 | tolis: sudo apt-get install <program_name> is the syntax to download and install the program you want from the internet | 14:19 |
| * delcoyote hi | 14:19 | |
| joaopinto | gaurav, there is an ntfs repair utility, but it is not recommended | 14:19 |
| DanielDevine | joapinto i know, i was just trying to communicate that i know exactly how to connect (as that isnt the problem) | 14:19 |
| humphrey | sjovan, just following the instructions on the link now | 14:19 |
| unop | gaurav, you can use the ntfsfix utility from the ntfsprogs package .. but be careful with it | 14:19 |
| gaurav | HELP ME | 14:19 |
| murlidhar | any torrent client based on ncurses . except rtorrent ? | 14:19 |
| joaopinto | gaurav, you should repair NTFS from a windows system | 14:19 |

| PPKuma | where can i get the UUID from a device? | 14:19 |
| === kduboi1 is now known as kdub | ||
| gaurav | THE main thing is that my data is dere in that NTFS and while installing LINUx that NTFs part got distrb and is dere any way i can just get the data | 14:20 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: it wasn't clear to me whether the other machine was local or off-site. that's why i asked. no need to get touchy. | 14:20 |
| DanielDevine | sipior ill try to find my earlier paste dumps. | 14:20 |
| arvind_khadri | PPKuma, which device? | 14:20 |
| DanielDevine | sipior im sorry (though the 192..... might have been a hint) | 14:20 |
| regel | gaurav, some sortof revocery software? | 14:20 |
| Cyberia | I want to make a new partition on my 160GB drive to install WinXP on. I used GParted to resize the extended partition and make free space to make a new partition for WinXP. When I did this and tried to make a new partition it said there can only be a maximum of 3 Primary partitions. I heard you can have unlimited logical partitions in an extended partition. How do I make a logical partition within an extended one? Many thanks :) | 14:20 |
| PPKuma | arvind_khadri: errr... /dev/sda3 | 14:20 |
| DanielDevine | actually sipior im sorry for that last remark. | 14:20 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: try putting the disk into a machine running windows XP or higher to see if you can access the NTFS partition to copy the data off of it | 14:20 |
| arvind_khadri | PPKuma, you can find it in /etc/fstb | 14:20 |
| arvind_khadri | PPKuma, oops /etc/fstab | 14:21 |
| murlidhar | gaurav: hope u didn't install linux in that ntfs partition | 14:21 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: and have you looked through the logs on the other machine? /var/log/security, iirc | 14:21 |
| PPKuma | arvind_khadri: actually i need it for a fstab entry | 14:21 |
| gaurav | no dear murlidhar | 14:21 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: ah, no. /var/log/auth/log | 14:21 |
| gaurav | i created a seprate partation for it | 14:21 |
| DanielDevine | sipior it is /var/log/auth | 14:21 |
| arvind_khadri | PPKuma, for entries into fstab UUID isnt compulsory | 14:21 |
| sipior | auth.log | 14:21 |
| DanielDevine | sipior it is /var/log/auth.log | 14:21 |
| gaurav | and selected dat one only | 14:21 |
| sipior | :) | 14:21 |
| murlidhar | gaurav: can u see the partition in gparted ? | 14:21 |
| ackbahr | Hi! I'm using id3ren, but I'd like to use the current file name in the renaming pattern. Is there a tag name to do that, or is there a way to use find and pipe the original name (though I tried this already, but maybe I didn't do it properly)? | 14:21 |
| DanielDevine | yeah, ill find my paste dumps for you | 14:21 |
| arvind_khadri | !u | murlidhar | 14:21 |
| gaurav | and while booting when menu comes | 14:21 |
| ubottu | murlidhar: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 14:21 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: are you using ntfs-3g? | 14:21 |
| gaurav | gparted?????? | 14:22 |

| refriedbeans | hello, i was trying to display an external display on another monitor using a VGA cable, but i'm not sure how to do that using Ubuntu | 14:26 |
| murlidhar | gaurav: which irc client are u using ? | 14:26 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: in your partition manager, select the extended partition and create new | 14:26 |
| Cyberia | Whiz, where is the partition manager :S | 14:27 |
| arvind_khadri | tolis, have you enabled all the repos? | 14:27 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: what did you use to create the extendedpartition? | 14:27 |
| tolis | repos? | 14:27 |
| tolis | whats that? | 14:27 |
| RequinB4 | !repos | 14:27 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 14:27 |
| Whiz2 | !repositories | tolis | 14:27 |

| Cyberia | I need to make 60GB partition for WinXP | 14:29 |
| tolis | says: !repos event not found | 14:29 |
| arvind_khadri | Cyberia, ohh ... use sudo cfdisk | 14:29 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: if the drive was left there and appears blank, you should leave it as is, because it may be a backup/restore partition in case you need to restore your system | 14:29 |
| tolis | ! | 14:29 |
| arvind_khadri | tolis, System->Administration->Software sources | 14:30 |
| Cyberia | Whiz, that's why I'm trying to 'split' the large extended partition | 14:30 |
| Cyberia | arvind, thanks I'll look tha tcommand up | 14:30 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: not recommended... if it's a restore partition, it likely needs the entire space it's using | 14:30 |
| gaurav | is dere any easy way to repair the NTFS partation without formating | 14:30 |
| wols | gaurav: only in windows | 14:31 |
| arvind_khadri | gaurav, no | 14:31 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: put the disk into a windows XP computer and try access it there | 14:31 |

| Cyberia | Whiz, I have a recovery CD which wipes the whole drive to the factory settings and resets all partitions | 14:32 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: if you can access it there, open a command prompt bly clicking start, then run and typing CMD into the box then type chkdsk x: /f /r into the command window replacing x with the actual drive letter to repair it | 14:32 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: interesting. what else have you got listening on port 22? try a sudo netstat -antup | grep 22 | 14:33 |
| Bodsda | corigo, its probably (not sure im not on the site atm) dvd and cd -- whats the sizes? | 14:33 |
| stryd_one | hi all...humangod was kind enough to tell me about ccsm... all those settings i was searching for, hidden away in this app :) ... i don't suppose there's a list or something somewhere that outlines all the gui's and other tools available for configuring the tools that are installed by default? | 14:33 |
| tolis | arvid_khadri: after System->Administration->Software sources what i must do? | 14:33 |
| tosmo | is is possible to acces auto mounted volumes by different users at the same time? | 14:34 |
| corigo | 688MiB & 696MiB | 14:34 |
| DanielDevine | sipior: i belive i sorted that problem (thats an old pastedump) i had more than one sshd | 14:34 |
| arvind_khadri | tolis, check the uncheck boxes there | 14:34 |
| Bodsda | tosmo, if that user has read rights yes | 14:34 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: ah, okay. | 14:34 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: use gparted to erase the extended partition and make a new primary one in it's place (non-bootable) then format it as ext3. That should simplyfy it for you, and if you need to restore, just use the CD | 14:34 |
| Zeropage | hello: i tried to run under wine warcraft 3, doesn't work, i wrong something? | 14:34 |

| ackbahr | Well, more generally, what's your favorite solution to retrieve playlists from an ipod? | 14:35 |
| Bodsda | Whiz2, it is and with varying success rates | 14:35 |
| ackbahr | (with ubuntu, which justifies this being asked here) | 14:35 |
| arvind_khadri | tolis, close it and run sudo apt-get update | 14:36 |
| Cyberia | Whiz2: I don't understand that partition is already ext3 (though with the 'boot' attribute') | 14:36 |
| Bodsda | ackbahr, its a poll/survey question not support which means it doesnt belong here but in #ubuntu-bots | 14:36 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: there don't appear to be authentication failures from anything besides localhost. are you sure the packets are making it through? does "telnet <remotehost> 22" return anything? | 14:36 |
| Cyberia | Whiz2: Do you mean delete the ext3 partition, make a new smaller extended partition, plus a new partition for WInXP? | 14:37 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: it shouldn't be with the boot attribute unless it is your root drive | 14:37 |
| === _anormallu is now known as anormallu | ||
| Cyberia | It is the root drive | 14:37 |
| perlmonkey2 | If the ubuntu source/package servers had been compromised, but the managers weren't sure how, would they wait until they knew exactly what was going on before telling the users they might have downloaded a bunch of compromised packages? Or would they warn them immediately that there is a possibility they have been compromised, but they are still looking into it? | 14:37 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: then do not delete it. | 14:37 |
| Cyberia | i.e. it has '/' | 14:37 |
| Cyberia | Whiz2, so then how can I create a partition to install WinXP? | 14:37 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: linux is installed in an extended partition??? | 14:37 |
| Cyberia | THat's what I'm guessing | 14:37 |
| arvind_khadri | Cyberia, use cfdisk its easy to use... | 14:38 |
| ackbahr | Bodsda: Well, let's phrase it differently then : can someone help me retrieve playlists from an ipod? :) | 14:38 |
| Bodsda | perlmonkey2, the repo would be closed for investigation i would assume | 14:38 |
| Bodsda | ackbahr, thats fine :) (i dont have an ipod so i dont know) | 14:38 |
| perlmonkey2 | Bodsda: but would the community be made aware they might have been compromised? | 14:38 |
| arvind_khadri | tolis, after that try installing amule | 14:38 |
| gaurav | well | 14:38 |
| gaurav | i am totaly puzzeld what to do | 14:38 |
| ackbahr | Bodsda: Ok, thanks | 14:38 |
| perlmonkey2 | Bodsda: you know, like share all the information they have, even if ambiguous? | 14:38 |
| Bodsda | perlmonkey2, maybe, its at the discression of the server maintainer/canonical i believe | 14:38 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: I gave you advice lol | 14:38 |
| tolis | it works thanks you arvid_khadri | 14:38 |
| Cyberia | Can WinXP be installed on a logical drive or does it have to be primary? | 14:38 |

| MrStein | sorry for kernel question, but #kernel is at sleep. How to compile a 32bit kernel on a 64bit host ? "make oldconfig" always changes CONFIG_64BIT to yes. | 14:39 |
| gaurav | u game me | 14:39 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: far as I know it will work on a logical drive | 14:39 |
| perlmonkey2 | Bodsda: I'm just pissed beyond words at Fedora for sitting on the information until they were sure they'd been hacked. And wondering if I'm being irrational. | 14:39 |
| MrStein | Cyberia: XP can live on logical. Just the booting partition must be primary (and active) | 14:39 |
| perlmonkey2 | two weeks went by while they were pretty sure bad things had happened. | 14:39 |
| perlmonkey2 | and the users were told it was probably just a hardware failure. | 14:39 |
| Bodsda | perlmonkey2, they dont have to tell you unless stated in any terms of service you may/may not have agreed to | 14:39 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: put the disk into a windows machine, load windows and see if you can read it there. if you can read it there, use the chkdsk command on it to fix it | 14:39 |
| gaurav | yes | 14:40 |
| gaurav | i will try this | 14:40 |
| gaurav | thankx | 14:40 |
| Whiz2 | gaurav: you're welcome | 14:40 |

| Whiz2 | perlmonkey2: this channel is support specifically for ubuntu. | 14:42 |

| lubosz | sipior: thx | 14:43 |
| perlmonkey2 | Whiz2: yeah, I got that when Bodsda said I was off topic. | 14:43 |
| joaopinto | perlmonkey2, there is also #ubuntu-security :) | 14:43 |
| Cyberia | Does Ubuntu create a partitiion with Fat32 by default? Or is it just my laptop? :S | 14:43 |
| joaopinto | Cyberia, it does not | 14:43 |
| wols | Cyberia: it never does | 14:44 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: ubuntu as far as I know creates ext3 partitions by default | 14:44 |
| Cyberia | It's a primary partition, but it's only 3GB large, do you think I can delete it? | 14:44 |
| perlmonkey2 | thanks joaopinto | 14:44 |
| wols | Cyberia: it's probably a recovery partition | 14:44 |
| Cyberia | oh right | 14:44 |
| wols | Cyberia: no you cannot | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | Cyberia, eventually can, but you should not | 14:44 |
| Cyberia | Ye dell installed 2 of it's own primary partitions... | 14:44 |
| Whiz2 | wols: Cyberia can delete it... just a matter of whether it is safe to delete it :p | 14:44 |
| Cyberia | I'll probably leave it for now... | 14:45 |
| Cyberia | OK I'm in cfdisk, and I want to make a logical drive within the extended drive. How do I do this? | 14:45 |
| Whiz2 | Cyberia: try resizing the root drive and adding a new partition for XP. that is the safest route to go, but beware! installing windows XP will overwrite GRUB (which loads linux) | 14:46 |
| gaurav | dear wiz2 could u please join us at channel gaurav# | 14:46 |
| Cyberia | Whiz2, but I'll still have a boot loader? | 14:46 |

| sipior | DanielDevine: still getting those extra "address already in use" errors. is there another script running that's trying to fire up sshd? | 14:48 |
| Cyberia | The root you suggested to resize the root drive and make a new partition. I've already done this, then when I tried to make a new partition in GParted it said "You already made the max number of primary partitions" :S | 14:48 |

| Whiz2 | that's not what I wanted | 14:49 |
| Cyberia | lol ye that's gnome os | 14:49 |
| sipior | DanielDevine: you might try bringing down the sshd daemon with /etc/init.d/ssh stop and then start it again. you've probably tried that already. there's no entry in /etc/hosts.deny, is there? | 14:50 |
| DanielDevine | nope. | 14:50 |
| DanielDevine | and i cant ssh into that other box! | 14:50 |

When I issue `telnet localhost 80` it says "Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'". fine. after that I give HTTP method/command (along with headers). I don't understand how to execute it. I tried pressing ^]. it gives me telnet> prompt. bu | 16:21 |

| arrrghhh | Red_Wraith, hrm sorry it's early. have you tried forcing the mount? | 16:22 |
| Red_Wraith | I don't know how to do that. | 16:22 |
| jmichelse1 | unop: I haven't used it so thanks for clarifying | 16:22 |
| arrrghhh | Red_Wraith, -f | 16:23 |
| arrrghhh | or --force i think | 16:23 |

| Whiz2 | Red_Wraith: I didn't see it in the mount list you showed earlier | 16:35 |

| bazhang | ramvi, not sure what help you want; cutting and pasting from the wiki seems silly. | 16:37 |

| jmichelse1 | Abracadabra: it still should be ok to test a few things if it just sends an alarm, its your call but I wouldn't see any harm in seting it to monitor a mount point with a low alarm setting and see what it does | 16:45 |

| stat_cs | webpirate, yeah. wh?Y | 17:04 |

| webpirate | because NVIDIA supports linux all the way | 17:04 |

| webpirate | ATI is nothing but trouble with linux | 17:04 |
| stat_cs | I see... that sucks | 17:04 |
| tyyrant27 | i like nvidia drivers better than ati at the moment | 17:05 |
| ShackJack | webpirate: Wasn't ATI the one that recently opened up its drivers though? :) | 17:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | tyyrant27: how could you not? | 17:05 |
| tyyrant27 | but with ati opening there code up .... | 17:05 |
| tritium | ShackJack: yes. ATI is taking the lead now. | 17:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | ShackJack: eventually, ATI should have a quality linux driver, but its not there yet. | 17:05 |
| webpirate | If you have ATI card and finally get it working don't even think about doing system updates or kernel updates cuz you will break your ATI drivers | 17:05 |

| soapman | on ubuntu, i've downloaded the jdk & used the '.bin' method & extracted it into /opt | 17:08 |
| polecat | Someone here know much about partitioning? | 17:08 |
| Coeus82 | I currently have ubuntu on my laptop and love it, but my main PC still uses Windows | 17:08 |
| graelb | It didn't work for me, it just clones the two monitors for some reason, i have a suspicion it's because both monitors are 1440 width | 17:08 |
| cppmonkey | webpirate I made a grand total of 0 xorg.conf mods! | 17:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | polecat: there's nto really much to know... what is your question. | 17:08 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Coeus82:if you got big hd, do a dual boot, don't like wubi | 17:09 |
| Coeus82 | So I'm first planning on having a dual boot, but then, when I feel I don't need windows any more, I plan on converting it completely to Ubuntu | 17:09 |
| webpirate | COEUS82>> I would just keep on doing what you are doing.....use the laptop to learn on and windows xp as backup incase you can't do something... | 17:09 |
| polecat | I have two partitions--a primary partition with Ubuntu, and an extended partition with two logical partitions--a second Ubuntu install and a swap partition. | 17:09 |
| Coeus82 | wubi? | 17:09 |
| * IndyGunFreak has dual screens w/ Nvidia working in abotu 5sec. | 17:09 | |

| Coeus82 | how about photoshop running with WINE? Anyone here try it.. is it stable. That's the only program I thinkg I would need when making the transfer | 17:14 |
| stryd_one | Coeus82: get it all set up sweet, document what you do, and then when it's totally ready, backup windows and test restore it, and then go ahead with a fresh ubuntu install | 17:14 |
| webpirate | Ni1....I have not had and problem with website that say they need IE.....even my bank says you must have IE but I log in everyday | 17:14 |
| Coeus82 | everything else is pretty much already there on Ubuntu.. I didn't like GIMP too much | 17:14 |
| webpirate | THE GIMP IS AWESOME!!!! | 17:14 |
| webpirate | yes I was shouting.. | 17:14 |
| Ictinike | Gimp is 8 bit, not suitable for proffesional use. | 17:14 |
| Coeus82 | webpirate.. I just don't like the interface. I heard they're changing it | 17:14 |
| stryd_one | gimp is good, but it's not a lot like PS.... give it time. | 17:15 |
| Lincid | Coeus82: GIMP is just as good as PS, with plugins. Just a different interface you have to get used to. ;) | 17:15 |
| Ni1 | its out custom application, running IE under linux requires windows licence | 17:15 |
| Ictinike | 16 and 32 bit are the standard. | 17:15 |
| webpirate | You can actually get a plugin for gimp that will give you the PS layout | 17:15 |
| HardDriveBlues | rewrite application | 17:15 |
| stryd_one | hah | 17:15 |
| Ictinike | The GIMP is NOT as good as Photoshop, and will NOT be, until it gets 8 bit. | 17:15 |
| Ictinike | 16 bit* | 17:15 |
| Chousuke | Lincid: That's not quite true; gimp still has a few limitations. It's more than enough for basic use though. | 17:16 |
| Coeus82 | So if I create a dual boot, I can easily move all the space used by windows to my ubuntu installation once I'm ready to make the full move? | 17:16 |
| Ni1 | rewrite will go in background :D | 17:16 |
| webpirate | I have never had any problems with gimp...I edit photos all the time.... | 17:16 |
| causeitsme | stat: have you tried sudo aticonfig and follow the examples at the bottom of the list | 17:16 |
| webpirate | lots of cool plugins.. | 17:16 |
| Lincid | Chousuke: I just say that because I've seen images and other things made just as well, if not better than PS. Just a personal opinion. ;) | 17:16 |
| juanan | Can someone help me to install an AverMedia PCMCIA card in Ubuntu Hardy?, thanks | 17:16 |
| tritium | webpirate: that still doesn't address the 8-bit limitation | 17:16 |
| stryd_one | anyone know how to disable the mouse button binding to the tracker search tool? (someone tell me to shutup if i'm asking this too frequently... i'm polling ;)) | 17:16 |
| Ictinike | It's fine for ameuter, but as soon as you get studio quality, 8 bit limits kick in. | 17:17 |
| webpirate | I have never run into the problem though.. | 17:17 |
| exco | is it possible to get a different resolution than 1280x1024 (native monitor resolution is 1680x1050) with Mesa? | 17:17 |
| tritium | !worksforme | webpirate | 17:17 |
| ubottu | webpirate: 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/ | 17:17 |
| Gnea | Ictinike: what do you mean? GIMP has always supported up to 24 and 32 bit | 17:17 |
| Chousuke | Ictinike: luckily they're working on fixing that :) | 17:17 |
| xintron | what is the name of the recording thing? | 17:17 |
| Coeus82 | according to the Wine AppDB it looks like photoshop CS3 runs decently | 17:17 |
| xintron | terminal name that is | 17:17 |
| webpirate | I have not resommended anything to others... | 17:17 |
| Chousuke | Gnea: he means colour channels | 17:17 |
| Ictinike | Really? Gnea, some what I read Gimp's most limiting factor is it only suppoprts 8 bit | 17:17 |
| Chousuke | Gnea: GIMP only supports 8-bit channels | 17:18 |
| Ictinike | Gnea, yes, 8 bit color. xD | 17:18 |
| webpirate | I am just stating that I have had good luck with it....but by all means choose by yourself | 17:18 |
| Ictinike | I plan on using, and fully embracing GIMP once it moves to 16 bit. | 17:18 |
| jamiejackson | my gnome panel disappeared. how do i get it back | 17:18 |
| Coeus82 | webpirate.. would gparted allow me to easily move all the space used by windows to the ubunty installation? | 17:18 |
| Chousuke | Gnea: most common picture formats have three or four 8 bit channels (R, G, B and A) | 17:18 |
| Gnea | Ictinike: well, it's free, what were you expecting, a $500 piece of software for nothing? ;) | 17:18 |

| Coeus82 | If so, what partition should I move it to (I'm not familiar with the way Linux partitions the hdd) | 17:18 |
| Gnea | Chousuke: right | 17:19 |
| sk33t0r | can I add a small ntfs partition on to the end of my ubuntu partition.. I wanna dual boot windows to play bf1942 | 17:19 |
| Chousuke | Gnea: this is being worked on, and will be fixed in gimp 2.6 IIRC ... someday. | 17:19 |
| webpirate | Yes gparted allows you to do that..... | 17:19 |
| Ictinike | Gnea, I was expecting something that would be at least able to stand up to some programs I could get for free for windows/mac. :) | 17:19 |
| anirudh0 | sk33t0r: windows has to be the first partition | 17:19 |
| Uragano4150811 | ciaooo | 17:19 |
| sk33t0r | hmm | 17:19 |
| trigpin | reduz, when you finish editing your screen resolution ctrl - alt -back space will reboot your display | 17:19 |
| exco | well I wouldn't use gparted... but it is possible, sk33t0r | 17:19 |

| webpirate | man the irc moderators are always power hungry.....just let people talk and recommend what ever they want.... | 17:20 |
| Acidburn | italiano | 17:20 |
| sk33t0r | exco, so what would you reccomend then | 17:20 |
| anirudh0 | sk33t0r: delete..or resize | 17:20 |
| Ictinike | Could someone tell me why when I open a linux native game (Such as ETQW) it comes up at like 80% transparency, full screen? | 17:20 |
| exco | sk33t0r: no, you can just adjust the size of your ext partition (provided you have enough free space) and use that free space or a part for your new ntfs partition | 17:20 |
| Acidburn | !it | 17:20 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 17:20 |
| sk33t0r | right thats what I want to do | 17:21 |
| Denise | someone knows why pidgn is always crashing? | 17:21 |
| sk33t0r | my ntfs partition is like 74 gigs.. Id like to resize it to 50 or so | 17:21 |
| sk33t0r | is gparted the best way to do that? | 17:21 |
| tigl0rz | i'm using the liveCD, how can I set up the HD as a samba server? | 17:21 |
| tritium | webpirate: nobody is stopping you | 17:21 |
| Gnea | Ictinike: well, unless someone is being paid booko bucks to do something, don't expect so much ;) | 17:21 |
| juanan | Can someone help me to install an AverMedia PCMCIA card in Ubuntu Hardy?, thanks | 17:21 |
| exco | I'd use partition magic, sk33t0r | 17:21 |
| webpirate | I dunno...I got some message that says just because you can blah blah blah | 17:21 |
| sk33t0r | hmm Ive heard of partition magic messing up the hd for dual boot? | 17:22 |
| bazhang | webpirate, best to take chat elsewhere | 17:22 |
| sk33t0r | and isn't partition magic a windows program? | 17:22 |
| webpirate | oh....ok | 17:22 |
| exco | because I made some bad experiences with resizing ntfs partitions with gparted, but you should be fine shrinking an ext partition and creating a new ntfs partition, sk33t0r | 17:22 |
| Gnea | sk33t0r: only if it's used incorrectly | 17:22 |
| Ictinike | Gnea, There are several available freeware image editors for windows/mac and even a few for linux which ate 16 bit, so it's the least I expect from such a massively supported linux app. | 17:22 |
| webpirate | sorry about that.. | 17:22 |
| ScheissDroge2 | sk33t0r:yes, gparted | 17:22 |
| webpirate | I will obey the rules.. | 17:22 |
| Qster | is there any shells that let you us split windows etc that i could put into a screen? | 17:22 |
| webpirate | o we o...o..o | 17:23 |
| unop | Qster, screen itself | 17:23 |
| Tuv0k | miro hard locks the system | 17:23 |
| ich | I have a problem with X-Fi and my GeForce graphic card: Cant load both modules (ctalsa and nvidia driver) at the same time; has anyone experienced that? (Ubuntu 7.10 | 8.04.1) | 17:23 |

| sk33t0r | thank you everyone | 17:23 |
| Qster | hmm wasnt away screen could have 2 windows in it self | 17:23 |
| sk33t0r | Id rather not have to do this.. but bf1942 doesnt run well with wine :/ | 17:23 |
| Gnea | Ictinike: well, i'm sure that those editors fall short in many more ways than a paltry 16bit channel, and if you're that hung up on yourself over the whole thing, then i suggest you take the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, please :) | 17:23 |
| webpirate | I loved the miro program....not that I recommend anyone else use it... | 17:23 |
| juanan | Can someone help me to install an AverMedia PCMCIA card in Ubuntu Hardy?, thanks | 17:23 |
| exco | is screen resolution with mesa fixed to 1280x1024? | 17:23 |
| * tritium never noticed the "multiplexor" mis-spelling in screen's description before... | 17:24 | |
| ScheissDroge2 | exco:vesa ? not fixed | 17:24 |
| stryd_one | anyone know where mouse button bindings are set? I need to disable the binding to the search button on my mouse... | 17:24 |
| webpirate | thats the beauty of linux..you can edit the spelling and recompile....not that I recommend anyone do that | 17:24 |

| Gnea | whitedox: no idea. can you be a bit more specific? | 17:26 |

| Gnea | Ictinike: turn compiz off, then launch the game. is it still translucent? | 17:26 |

| ScheissDroge2 | I'm miising my /close/min/max buttons on my Desktop windows.. where to check ? | 17:26 |
| webpirate | whitedox. Make sure your settings in your sound system settings have the auto-suspend if idle checked... | 17:27 |
| ich | Ictinike, then you must change the opacity settings with compiz-config (dont know) manager :D | 17:27 |

| kwtm | chimp_: Then agree with Scorp_: use gparted, and make sure the drives that will be affected are unmounted. | 17:52 |
| chimp_ | Scorp_: I didn't realise that gparted could resize mounted partitions safely, what i've read on the net all advised heavily against it | 17:52 |

| ScheissDroge2 | brady_k: 32-64 not really, did you use the installers option for selfchecking cd ? | 17:53 |
| kwtm | chimp_: I've used GParted to resize my partitions, but they do need to be unmounted. And: it took FOREVER!! I ended up using Acronis PartitionExpert. | 17:53 |

| kwtm | chimp_: I don't think there is anything that can resize partitions unless they're not mounted, because you might end up writing to them. | 17:53 |

| chimp_ | kwtm: Don't have the equipment, anyway its a laptop | 17:54 |
| kwtm | chimp_: Even if you could run partitioner from network, you need to have the partition unmounted. | 17:54 |

| chimp_ | I cant exactly unmount / while im using it | 17:54 |

| danbhfive | needhelp: remove the file we talked about earlier too | 18:01 |
| chimp_ | kwtm: What do you mean by use fdisk instead? | 18:02 |
| kwtm | chimp_: Use fdisk (which is minimal) or cfdisk (I think that's the curses interface). You would destroy all your hard drive data, so you'd have to back it up, and then recopy after you finish partitioning. | 18:02 |
| ScheissDroge2 | chimp_: has it usb or not ? | 18:02 |

| chimp_ | ScheissDroge2: It has usbs, but no usb boot | 18:02 |

| danbhfive | smelian: vnc maybe? | 18:02 |
| needhelp | danbhfive: which package? It seems it didn't success in installing the package. Also not the lib from earlier | 18:02 |

| chimp_ | kwtm: Ok, im going to give that a go then, thanks for the help, this could be interesting | 18:03 |

| Lucenut | Just plugging the USB in doesn't seem to do anything. | 18:04 |

| ScheissDroge2 | KenBW2:what do you wan't to do with it ? size ? | 18:21 |
| danbhfive | needhelp: a general suggestion: make a separate /home partition, and do clean installs rather than upgrades | 18:22 |
| Trogdorburn | zhaozhou: sorry, no idea what that would be. gparted (in gnome, System -> Administration -> Partition Editor) can delete that partition, and ubuntu is capable of writing NTFS filesystems | 18:22 |

| zhaozhou | Trogdorburn, I'm aware... although, i have windows, and my CD is disconnected. Want to boot from the USB, but that is badly formatted. | 18:23 |
| ScheissDroge2 | KenBW2:would use ext 3 then (or get another machine;-) | 18:23 |
| dmhouse | Hi all. Is there a way to shut down a system from the commandline, including correctly shutting down Gnome and so on? | 18:24 |
| wolson_ | tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb | 18:24 |
| wolson_ | Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. | 18:24 |
| KenBW2 | ScheissDroge2: tell me about it - shouldve got the 4/8GB eeepc | 18:24 |
| dmhouse | Does shutdown -h now do that? | 18:24 |
| Trogdorburn | zhaozhou: I don't understand the question. | 18:24 |
| KenBW2 | ScheissDroge2: wont ext3 kill the flash? | 18:24 |
| Doska | hi, where is the firewall in hardy? | 18:24 |

| jeyk | hi, I was happily running a custom window manager from my ~/.xinitrc but then I installed ubuntu-desktop and now I can't figure out how to get my window manager back | 18:24 |
| tolis | pls remind me | 18:24 |
| Trogdorburn | zhaozhou: you want to reformat the USB drive and then install Windows on it? | 18:24 |
| wolson_ | man theres WAYYY too many people in here | 18:24 |
| tolis | is sudo rpt-get install? | 18:25 |
| jeyk | I tried moving my .xinitrc to .Xclients and selecting "run xclient script" in the login manager, but it keeps throwing me into gnome | 18:25 |
| favro | dmhouse: sudo shutdown -h now works best :) | 18:25 |
| jeyk | how do I disable gnome and get my custom window manager back? | 18:25 |
| ScheissDroge2 | KenBW2:why ? write access ? safer filesystem than ext 3, but can use e2, of course | 18:25 |
| Toran | hi guys, I use a thinkpad x60 laptop. I want to be able to hook up an external display, and then be able to press a key between dual monitor and single display mode | 18:25 |
| Toran | how can I do this | 18:25 |
| RodMcKay | wolson_: /dev/sdb is the whole drive, tune2fs -L must be run over a specific partistion (e.g. sdb1) | 18:25 |
| danbhfive | jeyk: doesnt gdm allow you to pick the window manger at login? | 18:25 |
| KenBW2 | ScheissDroge2: cos flash only has a llimited amount of read/write iirc | 18:25 |

| jeyk | danbhfive, because i built it in my homedir. I want to use ~/programming/stumpwm/stumpwm as my window manager. | 18:26 |
| Trogdorburn | zhaozhou: can you do this in gparted? | 18:26 |
| Scorp_ | Doska: It maybe on the router..!! | 18:26 |
| kitche | jeyk: by using .xinitrc if you don't use gdm if you do use gdm you most likely have to make a .xession file for it | 18:26 |
| Doska | Scorp_ but ONLY on the router? not on hardy? | 18:26 |
| jeyk | kitche: oh ok, I will look into this .xsession file | 18:26 |
| zhaozhou | Trogdorburn, I could, if i had gparted. But, i'm running windows. | 18:26 |
| kitche | AzizLight: yes zsh is very universal so it runs any script almost unless they have exact calls to the shell really | 18:26 |

| stat_cs | IdleOne, so sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get safe-upgrad | 18:43 |

Humm... 1.019 ...I'm using 1.0.18-3ubuntu1, and last time libusb was giving a problem, it was because my old scanner was USB1.1, while hub was 2.0.

| wizardslovak | i just got installed ubuntu 8.04 server on vmware and is there a command to start gui? so far i see only shell | 19:34 |
| zeeus | \server irc.oltreirc.net | 19:34 |
| Flannel | wizardslovak: the server is only a shell by default | 19:34 |
| ykphuah | [_Ulver_]: you have to mkdir /media/secondhd first though... | 19:34 |
| wizardslovak | ah can i change it to gui? | 19:34 |
| Flannel | wizardslovak: sure, which GUI do you want? | 19:35 |
| wizardslovak | sorry i have little experience with suse and this is my first time with ubuntu | 19:35 |
| jerone | wizardslovak: with ubuntu server there is no gui by default as most do not want it .. if you want a gui you will need to "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 19:35 |
| [_Ulver_] | ykphuah, I'll try it soon. I need to go now :( | 19:35 |
| wizardslovak | is there Kde? | 19:35 |
| ZeroA4 | wizardslovak, you have to install X and a WM or desktop... like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 19:35 |
| Flannel | wizardslovak: yep, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 19:35 |
| [_Ulver_] | Well, I note all these infos. I hope you can help me (I really hope :) ) | 19:35 |
| nDuff | How is JAVA_HOME set in Ubuntu? | 19:35 |
| [_Ulver_] | ykphuah, Thanks dude :) | 19:35 |
| ykphuah | Flannel: will that be kde 3 or 4? in kubuntu-desktop? | 19:35 |
| mcphail | wizardslovak: remember you can install one of the desktop distros and use it as a server as well | 19:35 |
| Flannel | wizardslovak: also, you'll want to install linux-generic, and get rid of the server kernel after | 19:36 |
| [_Ulver_] | Pici, thank you too. | 19:36 |
| Flannel | ykphuah: 3.5, 4 is kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 19:36 |
| wizardslovak | so what will be the command to get desktop with kde4? | 19:36 |
| _8472 | P041NX: well, my scanner is this one: http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=umax&model=2100u&bus=any&v=&p= | 19:36 |

| PxXcnSsmT | How do I install Madwifi I have and and have the terminal pointed to its directory. | 19:37 |
| ZeroA4 | wizardslovak, but why did you install a server if you want a desktop ? | 19:37 |
| ykphuah | wizardslovak: you can try the kde4 live cd first, I don't like it, in both suse and kubuntu, there's no bluetooth browsing! | 19:37 |

| stat_cs | ykphuah, yes - it has been removed | 20:05 |
| danbhfive | linkmaster03: ccsm should have an option somewhere... | 20:05 |
| phece | what could have caused this? and is there anyway to fix it without having the xp disk around? | 20:05 |
| linkmaster03 | danbhfive: it does, but i have no clue how to zoom out :S | 20:05 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: hmm, try /home/biomata/ssh/known_hosts in g530 | 20:05 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: mv it away again, back it up. | 20:06 |
| Ahmuck | need help with a printing problem | 20:06 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, okay | 20:06 |
| danbhfive | linkmaster03: pole around more, it should tell you the keys. Try holding ctrl or alt, and right click, and then move the mouse. Or the left mouse button, thinks like that | 20:06 |

| ramvi | unop: You're still there? :) | 20:07 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, moving the known_hosts file on box1 to known_hosts.bak worked | 20:07 |
| jimmy51_ | ZeroA4: how do you get it to connect automatically on reboot? are you not in roaming mode? | 20:07 |
| linkmaster03 | danbhfive: ok thanks | 20:07 |
| fac3less | Anyone want to help me with xorg configuration? It's the most fun ever! | 20:07 |
| fac3less | I've pasted my configuration here: http://paste2.org/p/64245 | 20:07 |
| blackZero | how do i enable color coding in vim on 8.04?? I have installed VIM full..but that didnt help... | 20:07 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, I can connect - but what about the previous known_hosts files? + look at my post above | 20:07 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: ah, now you can move back the known_hosts in box2 | 20:07 |
| ZeroA4 | jimmy51_, but you has to add a new network do enter the SSID | 20:08 |
| fac3less | It's a radeon HD 3850 with two vx924 monitors attached, one of which just won't work. | 20:08 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: I have mistaken the diagnosis, I think you need to open up the known_hosts in box1 and look for the box2 entry instead, not the other way round. | 20:08 |
| phece | rambo3: if i run that, will it wipe any of my files in windows? | 20:08 |
| jimmy51_ | ZeroA4: what do you mean? | 20:08 |
| ZeroA4 | jimmy51_, i dont did anything after entering the SSID and key... my ubuntu finds my wifi auto on reboot | 20:08 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, I did that. I do not see the IP address for box2 there | 20:08 |
| iwaterball | blackZero: try running it with "vim" rather then "vi", also you using console or gui? | 20:09 |
| tbrenner | does anyone know how to connect to irc.gnome.org | 20:09 |
| rambo3 | phece, no its like chkdsk on windows | 20:09 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: anyway you shouldn't have a lot of troubles after moving the file away. | 20:09 |
| jimmy51_ | ZeroA4: i can see it listed when i try to "edit wireless networks" but there's no connect option | 20:09 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, I see. Can I just delete the file | 20:10 |
| stat_cs | ? | 20:10 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: I am going off soon, so can't debug anymore. ;) | 20:10 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: I think when you login to box2 again, another known_hosts will be generated, is that correct? | 20:10 |
| gideon | yes | 20:10 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, okay - can you just please quickly tell me if it is okay to delete the box2 knownhosts files. becasue it gives the same error when I move it back | 20:10 |
| yaris123456789 | hey guys im doing cpan DBD::Pg, it works but it asks for path to pg_config....what to do ? | 20:10 |
| ZeroA4 | jimmy51_, just select it... ubuntu should connect | 20:10 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, lemme check | 20:10 |
| jimmy51_ | ZeroA4: i can select it in the "edit" menu, but it's not listed under "Wireless Networks" to join | 20:11 |
| blackZero | iwaterball: I am using GUI shell man | 20:11 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: do you use passwordless logins? meaning logging in to ssh without needing to key in passwords? | 20:11 |
| Jeruvy | whats the difference of using freenx vs. vnc? | 20:11 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, yes a new one is generated | 20:11 |
| ZeroA4 | jimmy51_, but are you sure you gave ubuntu the right SSID and Key ? they are case sensitive | 20:11 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: if you don't, then its safe to delete those files, it will just prompt you to press "Y" the next time you try to login. | 20:11 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, of course not. We have a very long and difficult alphanumeric pasword | 20:11 |
| jimmy51_ | ZeroA4: yes. i joined it and browsed before the reboot. | 20:11 |
| blackZero | I have made alias for "vim" so thats no an issue | 20:11 |
| th-nvstgr | the config program, launch with ./config doesn't compil anything, it's right? | 20:11 |
| yaris123456789 | how do i check what os im running | 20:11 |
| phece | rambo3: oh, so it'll just give me statistics on it? | 20:11 |
| ykphuah | stat_cs: without the entry in that file, ssh will prompt you to import the key or something. | 20:12 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, oh - no. We do not use the passwordless login | 20:12 |
| guntbert | blackZero: in vi type :syntax on | 20:12 |
| ZeroA4 | jimmy51_, strange... try to remove and re-add the ssid and key | 20:12 |
| Jeruvy | With the ALTERNATE install, is exim installed by default or do you have to add the package after? | 20:12 |
| stat_cs | ykphuah, yes it does prompt me to "accept the key" | 20:12 |
| rambo3 | phece, no it will look for bad sectors | 20:12 |
| iwaterball | blackZero: does turning syntax on manually with ":syntax on" command work? | 20:12 |

| DigitalNinja | joaopinto: I see. I'm not changing any ubuntu packages. I'm adding a few and making changes to a few config files. | 20:35 |
| guntbert | blackZero: and now open your file please | 20:35 |
| ken_ | Is there a way to go back to an old style "k" launch menu in kubuntu? it used to have a bunch of programs, now i have to manually type the name of the programs in a console. | 20:35 |
| Strife89 | Does anyone know what could be wrong? | 20:35 |
| ken_ | because there are very few options in the launch menu | 20:35 |
| joaopinto | DigitalNinja, such config files are part of a package, those packages must be available on the source format | 20:35 |
| w4z | I have the ati radeon 9000 mobility card. It worked in 7.10. has anyone got it working in 8.04? | 20:35 |
| Jeruvy | Tapout: not really an ubuntu question or issue, but using Ctrl-mousewheel you can adjust the scale temporarily, or edit your custom css sheet for your particular needs | 20:35 |
| danbhfive | DigitalNinja: joaopinto is slightly incorrect, according to GPL, you have to be willing to provide ALL the sources for whatever you distribute. I believe thats the truth, but, it doesn't count unless someone asks you for the source | 20:36 |
| Terrasque | DigitalNinja: I would recommend making your own repository, and make a deb file that installs that repository | 20:36 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 20:36 |
| bobertdos | w4z: It's probably on Hardy's blacklist. You'll have to bypass it. | 20:36 |
| joaopinto | danbhfive, actually you do not have to "distribute", you must make them available upon request | 20:36 |
| blackZero | iwaterball: thanks man.. | 20:36 |
| ozzloy | what are good bluetooth headphones? recommend some please | 20:36 |
| blackZero | that works | 20:36 |
| joaopinto | danbhfive, your ubuntu cd does not come with sources... | 20:36 |

| jtier | Hello, mykeboard mouse doesn't works is there way to reconfigure it? | 20:36 |
| DigitalNinja | Terrasque: Hmmm.... Sounds like a lot of extra work. I'll look into it. | 20:37 |
| HumanGod | well wait so what about Lindos when it existed those guys never gave the source | 20:37 |
| danbhfive | DigitalNinja: the problem is, if you distribute ubuntu software, you can't rely upon Canonical to make the sources available | 20:37 |
| iwaterball | blackZero: ok. good luck. | 20:37 |
| w4z | how do i do that? | 20:37 |
| blackZero | i was running syntax on on bash promt..stupid me | 20:37 |
| HumanGod | as far as i remember | 20:37 |
| danbhfive | joaopinto: Ill explain it to you in off-topic... if you like | 20:37 |
| ScheissDroge2 | w4z: no prob with 9200 standard, ati-driver does it, also envyng before | 20:37 |
| Strife89 | Assistance, please. The distribution upgrade has been on "Generating locales" / "en AU.UTF-8" for almost an hour now. My CPU is in full use and there are no signs of progression. | 20:37 |
| iwaterball | blackZero: if you want it on by default, add it to a vimrc file | 20:37 |
| joaopinto | danbhfive, no thanks, the GPL is clear enough on that part :) | 20:37 |
| DigitalNinja | danbhfive: If it's on the Ubuntu CD then Canonical has to have sources for it. Right? | 20:37 |
| Falwess | Good lord, this channel is chaos! Well, I shall try to ask my question anyway. | 20:38 |
| w4z | they dont offer the 9000 driver on thier site which one should i use? | 20:38 |

| blackZero | But I wonder why is this turned off in the first place | 20:38 |
| ScheissDroge2 | w4z: might try envyng | 20:38 |
| Falwess | Being the sharp fellow that I am, I decided to wipe it, and reinstall ubuntu. | 20:38 |
| ScheissDroge2 | !envy | 20:39 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 20:39 |

| selb | Is Ubuntu ever going to get a proper FF3 package? | 20:40 |
| joaopinto | selb, what's wrong with it ? | 20:40 |
| danbhfive | DigitalNinja: yes, but if you change the CD, then Canonical will no longer fullfill that part of the GPL contract. YOU now have to, and you have to for EVERY package. There was a big discussion on slashdot about it. But, any further discussion, lets go to off-topic | 20:40 |
| blackZero | iwaterball: oh..I dont use vi.. and I have worked on RHEL4..so never had to face ths issue | 20:40 |
| s_spiff | selb, it has a proper FF3 package! | 20:40 |
| selb | joaopinto: There isn't one, except for an old beta | 20:40 |

| selb | I'm not using Hardy. | 20:41 |
| Jeruvy | Strife89; why you dumping stuff in pm to me? | 20:41 |
| Flannel | blackZero, iwaterball: be sure to install "vim" the default one that comes with Hardy is a stripped down version | 20:41 |
| s_spiff | selb: what are you using? | 20:41 |
| Terrasque | DigitalNinja: in theory, all your .deb package needs to do to install a repository is to drop a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and add a gpg key. | 20:41 |
| __THEGOD | and why anytinme i try to ask question about anythings details i cant get any info .? | 20:42 |
| Strife89 | Jeruvy: I'd rather not open Firefox, it'll be agonizingly slow. | 20:42 |
| blackZero | Flannel: yes..I have.. :) | 20:42 |
| selb | I'm using Gutsy | 20:42 |

| __THEGOD | im using livecd xp ;) | 20:42 |
| __THEGOD | as second os. | 20:42 |
| __THEGOD | its awesome. | 20:42 |
| s_spiff | selb, it should have had the latest too. but incase you're unable to get it there, getdeb will have the latest FF3 deb's :) | 20:42 |
| iwaterball | blackZero: well, I think its because ubuntu come with the default vim configuration while RHEL contains a custom-made one. no sure | 20:42 |
| selb | I searched getdeb for Firefox already and got nothing D: | 20:42 |
| __THEGOD | and another os that i can able to use is knoppix | 20:43 |

| ikonia | HumanGod: what is the problem with iptables? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | exoide: /etc/dircolors | 20:58 |

| iwaterball | HumanGod: just use iptables (and maybe shorewall to help you configure it) and learn to work with your ISP's abuse department | 21:01 |
| zguL | I have tried the two other plugins that are available too. | 21:02 |
| nyvhax | hi everybody ;) | 21:02 |
| HumanGod | ikonia: I know thats why i am seeking some professional advice not so sound in networking yet | 21:02 |
| HumanGod | ;) | 21:02 |
| nyvhax | i tried to run a .avi video but totem doesn't read it.. so i install codecs which are suggest by totem plus w32codedcs | 21:02 |
| Flannel | Strife89: you need to have the installer finish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 (sudo killall locales-whatever) | 21:02 |
| Flannel | Strife89: first post there | 21:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 249340 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef" [High,Fix committed] | 21:02 |
| ikonia | HumanGod: an Iptables firewall is good enough for most solutions, especially 1 - 2 box setups | 21:02 |
| stat_cs | seen causeitsme? | 21:02 |
| Terrasque | DigitalNinja: oh, a typo there, its wget -O not wget -o | 21:02 |
| nyvhax | but when i run my .avi video, totem doesn't read it and telle me "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" why ?? | 21:03 |
| HumanGod | well if I have two servers with two different ISP's only then it will be of any use i suppose | 21:03 |

| ikonia | stat_cs: there is no seen function | 21:03 |
| DigitalNinja | HumanGod: There's nothing you can do about DDOS attacks. You have to tell your ISP about them. They will try to blog addresses but the attacker will switch to new ones. It gets messy. | 21:03 |

| the_darkside_986 | I am trying to use an Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 64-bit live cd to make a disk image out of an NTFS drive... is that possible and can the image file later be mounted or accessed in Ubuntu in order to access the files? | 21:03 |
| stat_cs | ikonia, sorry - I guess I have been in a few other forums where you could do stuff like that | 21:03 |

| RemsSs | i actualy use mplayer i had download a skin | 21:04 |
| RemsSs | where must i put le skin | 21:04 |
| Technqe | Hello | 21:05 |
| Technqe | can someone tell me why i should switch to ubuntu | 21:05 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: from what? | 21:05 |
| Technqe | vista | 21:05 |
| geirha | RemsSs: ~/.mplayer/skins/ | 21:05 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: It's not vista :) | 21:05 |
| Strife89 | Flannel: Ran the killall, install's continuing. | 21:06 |
| DigitalNinja | Terrasque: Now that I think about it your wget command would be a great way to test things. I could configure one CD to access the script. Any changes I make to the script would be downloaded the next time I install. Nice! | 21:06 |
| hoarycripple | my computer has a IP address of 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 my router has an external address of 137.127.6.1 with netmask of 255.255.0.0. I want to reach the IP 137.127.15.6 from my computer but it says "No Route To Host." How can I fix this? | 21:06 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: There is no one reason, it's not a simple thing | 21:06 |
| Strife89 | Flannel: Java is left unconfuigured..... | 21:06 |
| HumanGod | well I wil stick to iptables and shorewall to help me.. Just a quick one though whats this stuff I am reading about smoothwall is that something I should be looking at | 21:06 |
| newclimb | anyone has any hints to how to configure the 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Chrome9 HC IGP (rev 01)? | 21:06 |
| Technqe | wah ... i currently using vista i need someone to tell me why i should use ubuntu instead | 21:06 |
| RemsSs | i dont have file which called skins in mplayer | 21:06 |
| the_darkside_986 | Does Ubuntu Live CD have hard disk backup tools? I need to make hard disk images that can later be accessed. | 21:06 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: There are lots of reasons, and anti-reasons | 21:07 |
| geirha | RemsSs: then create it yourself | 21:07 |
| guntbert | hoarycripple: your PC should also have a "default route" | 21:07 |
| Terrasque | DigitalNinja: yes, that is a very good solution actually :) Been thinking of something like that, but haven't really had the need for it | 21:07 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: My favorite are: I prefer the UNIX style of doing things. The computer doesn't argue with me, it does what I ask it | 21:07 |
| Technqe | so you think i should stay with vista | 21:07 |
| geirha | RemsSs: run "man mplayer", it explains how to use skins. | 21:08 |
| === HK_Away is now known as Hondo_Kitsune | ||
| HumanGod | vista is like a body guard annoying I suppose | 21:08 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: Application/Package installation and updates are integrated (debian packages managed by apt) and unified | 21:08 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, do you mean I should add the route using the "route" command? | 21:08 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: The system is open to community involvement, something Microsoft doesn't do well | 21:08 |
| Technqe | can i open microsoft word files in ubuntu by any chance | 21:09 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: Yes, openoffice is included by default | 21:09 |
| erUSUL | Technqe: openoffice and abiword among others open word documents | 21:09 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: It is a MS office work-a-like | 21:09 |
| guntbert | hoarycripple: yes you can do that at first just to test, you need to know the *internal* IP-address of your router | 21:09 |
| === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx | ||
| afallenhope | hey is there a reason as to why if I leave me laptop on when I sleep when I wake up in the morning it's at the login screen? | 21:09 |
| the_darkside_986 | I know that dd can make hard disk images but that says nothing about accessing the internal files of it. | 21:09 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: The best thing youc an do is download the Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop CD | 21:10 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, the internal IP of the router is 192.168.1.1 and it is my gateway | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | the_darkside_986: you can munt that images later through a loop device | 21:10 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, so basically i need to route from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.1 to the external IP | 21:10 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: It is a bootable CD that loads directly into a full Ubuntu install. "try before you buy" | 21:10 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, and do the same with the netmask | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | the_darkside_986: mostly like you can do with iso images | 21:10 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, is this correct/ | 21:10 |
| iwaterball | the_darkside_986: you can mount the images with "mount -o loopback <imagefle> <mountpoint>" | 21:10 |
| jhattara | Technqe, it's usually easier to open foreign program specific files in Linux than in Windows | 21:10 |
| the_darkside_986 | ok thanks | 21:10 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: If you decide you don't like it at all, you can just not install it | 21:10 |
| SuperQ | Technqe: It will seem slow tho, because the CD is much slower than a hard drive | 21:11 |
| Terrasque | Technqe: install via wubi, no risk, and if you dont like it, remove it | 21:11 |
| guntbert | hoarycripple: no, the router should do the routing, lets try a few things | 21:11 |
| SuperQ | Terrasque: wubi? | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | iwaterball: well for a whole disk image he/she will have to pass an offset to either mount or losetup afaik so the loop device skips the mbr and partition table | 21:11 |
| SuperQ | Terrasque: oh, found it.. neat | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | iwaterball: datails on google XD | 21:12 |
| SuperQ | Terrasque: reminds me of the old dos booter | 21:12 |
| guntbert | hoarycripple: 1) ping your gateway -ok? | 21:12 |
| jhattara | i read that wubi at least originally had troubles with Vista | 21:12 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, yes it works | 21:12 |
| RensoreK | Anyone own a Geforce FX 8/9 ? | 21:12 |
| iwaterball | erUSUL: that really depends on how he did the image, but yeah | 21:12 |
| Terrasque | SuperQ: yes :) no messing around, no partitions or new bootloaders | 21:12 |
| guntbert | hoarycripple: 1) ping the external interface of your gateway -ok? | 21:12 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, this also works | 21:14 |
| RensoreK | Whats a good dockbar besides awn? Anyone recommend anything | 21:14 |
| guntbert | hoarycripple: good, now ping www.google.com | 21:14 |
| aidy | hi | 21:15 |
| SuperQ | Terrasque: Yea, i'm trying to find the technical details on how the files are stored on the host windows fs | 21:15 |
| DigitalNinja | It looks like I might be able to call my project a "remix". Hmmm... | 21:15 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, also works | 21:15 |
| aidy | how do i set the standard display manager | 21:15 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, maybe the server I am trying to reach is down | 21:15 |
| newclimb | anyone has any hints to how to configure the 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Chrome9 HC IGP (rev 01) | 21:15 |
| hoarycripple | guntbert, i cannot ping that particular server. it says no route to host. | 21:15 |

| guntbert | hoarycripple: have a nice time | 21:28 |
| Ictinike | What do Question Marks in the "appearance" control panel mean? | 21:28 |

| Storrgie | Expl0ited: I can play games in steam and listen to rythmbox at the same time, so im thinking this is an issue with how i have my sound set up in ubuntu or how I have specified it in vlc | 21:59 |

| Miyavix3 | nosklo: It's not doing it | 22:17 |
| zod21 | Miyavix3- no not on transmission, but if you use utorrent with wine it does that when you hover over it. | 22:17 |

| TurboBee | Storrgie read WAT | 22:17 |

| idimmu | does anyone know anything about puppet, and how it is package? http://paste.ubuntu.com/39773/ i am trying to install it on dapper and it depends on facter but there doesnt seem to be any packages for that | 22:18 |
| perspectivet | is there a way to do install onto RAID1 with the Hardy Heron desktop installer? | 22:18 |
| idimmu | it is a backport issue, and should i file a bug with the maintainer? | 22:19 |

| hal_v2 | Is there a reason open office is correction-friendly? Seriously, whenever I go to review a document there's green lines EVERYWHERE.

| P041NX | anyone know how to force particular USB device to use ohci_hcd instead of ehci_hdc? rmmod ehci_hcd is not a potion, as it takes my system down | 22:23 |
| Frowardd | nosklo: not when I log in, when the system starts. | 22:23 |
| phece | is there any chance that something got changed from an automatic update or something? | 22:23 |

| Tapout | P041NX, 2.6.9 ... v3 has improved so much that I need it :( | 22:26 |
| nosklo | Tapout: it is not recommended (TM), you should Know What You Are Doing (TM) to do it | 22:26 |
| y0d4 | Can someone help me get the wifi to work! I am new to linux and it would be much appreciated | 22:26 |
| Tapout | nosklo, fair enough.. surprised hardy doesn't have v3... etch-backports has v3 cause it's so damn good | 22:27 |
| === expl0ited2 is now known as Expl0ited | ||
| nosklo | Tapout: have you checked hardy-backports? | 22:27 |
| Tapout | says 2.6.9 | 22:27 |
| P041NX | Storrgie : You'll need to install a program that will aloow multiple sound streams to mix togater before going out the speaker | 22:27 |
| Storrgie | P041NX: why would I need that when I can play audio in 2 other applications at the same time with ALSA, its just when VLC is going I can only hear what VLC is playing | 22:28 |
| P041NX | can't quite remenber the package name, but I had that problem myself a while ago | 22:28 |

| Next1 | What is Bicubic texture filtering in Compiz? | 22:30 |
| P041NX | Storrgie:... that means either VLC is hogging up the stream, but i'm not sure. i know that for mplayer+alsa, mplayer can play 2 or more at same time, but if one gets started after toe other, the sound hangs. | 22:30 |

| pudland | slart: yup | 22:48 |

| Slart | pudland: or do "dmesg > dmesgoutput.txt" | 22:50 |
| nickrud | dmsuperman_, the man page, man apt-get | 22:50 |
| Slart | pudland: then open that text file in gedit or something | 22:50 |
| dmsuperman_ | nickrud: ah. thanks :D | 22:50 |
| pudland | slart: ok | 22:50 |
| AzizLight | P041NX: not from the mp3, from the m3u. Basically I want to clean the m3u text file, or place the mp3 tags instead of the full paths, basically create a tracklist out of the m3u file | 22:51 |
| nickrud | noah, was this after removing it manually, by any chance? | 22:51 |
| noah | nickrud: yeah. | 22:52 |
| noah | nickrud: what's the connection? | 22:52 |
| Slart | pudland: if you install pastebinit you can just run "dmesg | pastebinit" | 22:52 |
| Reaby | any clue what's missin: audio cd's not working. nautilus has red X in every track --> i assume some kind of permission problem, thus datacd's works perfectly. any ideas? | 22:53 |
| nickrud | noah, files in /etc are considered 'conffiles'. dpkg assumes that whatever the sysadmin does to a conffile should be respected | 22:53 |
| pudland | heres "dmesg > dmesgoutput.txt" @ pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39779/ | 22:53 |
| P041NX | AzizLight: so in a nut shell, extract filename of mp3 from the fullpath written in the m3u? | 22:53 |
| nickrud | noah, a sec | 22:53 |

| pudland | slart: thanks | 22:53 |
| ShdwShinobi | Can someone help me get the right resolution with a monitor for my 8600GT? | 22:53 |

| scrambledegg | hey, i have this really really annoying problem with ubuntu and windows, that i could seriously use some help on :S | 22:54 |
| noah | nickrud: ok... thought i did that but i'll give it another shot, might have been confused | 22:54 |
| nickrud | scrambledegg, get rid of windows, problem solved ;) | 22:55 |
| AzizLight | P041NX: yeah, and put them in a .txt in the order they are in the playlist. but If I get just the name of the file I'm happy so I don't really need the mp3 files unless I really want to be picky | 22:55 |
| noah | nickrud: ah. think i purged "mysql-server" but not "mysql-server-5.0" | 22:55 |
| molleboon | dutch people? | 22:55 |
| scrambledegg | ..ubuntu corrups my windows partition slightly every time it boots.. even though i dont mount it | 22:55 |
| P041NX | ok, ill, just wip up a bash script if you like. Ok? | 22:56 |
| nickrud | noah, a useful package is apt-file , you can use it to find out what package owns what file (among other things) | 22:56 |
| adrianXXX | someone can tell me who can y enabled the colors on asterisk console ? | 22:56 |
| haostun | hey... nm_applet ask for my network password every time i restart my pc.. any idea? | 22:56 |
| scrambledegg | so it makes windows take like 10 minutes to boot.. this time it succesfully nuked windows.. "mission accomplished!" -_- | 22:56 |
| noah | nickrud: you mean even when the package isn't installed? i usually use dpkg -S and dpkg -L | 22:56 |
| Slart | pudland: ok.. so two hard drives, one 120 Gb and one 160 Gb. Some cd/dvd drives.. sounds correct? | 22:57 |
| klndz3 | unop, you around? | 22:57 |
| noah | nickrud: that is when the package is installed | 22:57 |
| scrambledegg | i've tried a lot of things! re-installing both ubuntu and/or windows do not fix it.. :S its been like this forever i think | 22:57 |
| Lagbolt | Looking to find out if anyone has installed ubuntu on acer aspire one. Does it require any special tweaks to get wireless working etc , or can I just use the normal install CD no probs? | 22:57 |

| paritosh1010 | mp3s won't play. i have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras package. something seems to be wrong with the sound :( | 22:58 |
| Slart | pudland: the 160 Gb drive can't be used in ubuntu? | 22:58 |

| paritosh1010 | anybody? | 22:58 |
| * paritosh1010 paritosh | 22:59 | |
| adrianXXX | someone can tell me who can y enabled the colors on asterisk console ? | 22:59 |
| AzizLight | P041NX: sorry I just saw you message, I can do that with just a bash script? | 22:59 |
| paritosh1010 | mp3s won't play. i have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras package. something seems to be wrong with the sound :( | 22:59 |
| P041NX | AzizLight: Should i start making the bash script? If you like, would you mind sending a sample m3u file? i'll work out the file format and send you a bash script that does the job | 22:59 |
| pudland | slart: i dont think its mounting. a "scsi" icon shows in "computer" but cant open it | 22:59 |
| Slart | pudland: hmm.. ok, if you do a "sudo mount -a" in a terminal, do you get any errors? | 22:59 |
| dmsuperman_ | paritosh1010: for debugging: does any sound work? what about if you install mplayer and try to play an mp3 with that? | 22:59 |
| P041NX | AzizLight: m3u is a plain text, so it is easy possible | 22:59 |
| nickrud | scrambledegg, I've been dual booting for years, never seen that. Can't imagine how it would even happen | 22:59 |
| pudland | slart: 2 sec | 22:59 |
| AzizLight | P041NX: wow thanks alot, i'll put the content of an m3u file in pastebin | 23:00 |
| Reaby | any clue what's missing: audio cd's not working. nautilus has red X in every track --> i assume some kind of permission problem, thus datacd's works perfectly. any ideas for a fix? | 23:00 |
| pudland | slart: uhhm. no | 23:00 |
| paritosh1010 | dmsuperman_: no. no sound work..it worked earlier but broke suddenly. i have mplayer installed. it now says - no sound device initialised | 23:00 |
| pudland | slart: gparted didnt see it either | 23:00 |
| dmsuperman_ | paritosh1010: tried rebooting, closing firefox, and any other app that uses your sound? | 23:00 |
| paritosh1010 | yeah | 23:01 |
| paritosh1010 | :( | 23:01 |
| P041NX | AzizLight: ok, ill work out the file format and paste the completed script. give me about 20 min | 23:01 |
| paritosh1010 | reboot, restarting x | 23:01 |
| paritosh1010 | all that ive tried | 23:01 |
| dmsuperman_ | alright, then it's a real problem and i'm not sure :P | 23:01 |
| paritosh1010 | it just went. it was there earlier | 23:01 |
| scrambledegg | nickrud, yes its really weird... first i thought it was a problem with grub, but i think its ubuntu causing trouble, caus it only happens after i've boot ubuntu | 23:01 |
| paritosh1010 | does sound depend on xorg.conf? | 23:01 |
| Slart | pudland: ok, try this "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" | 23:01 |
| zorrolero | nickrud: dpkg-reconfigure resets the conffiles, iirc. | 23:01 |
| dmsuperman_ | paritosh1010: not sure, tbh | 23:01 |
| Slart | pudland: if you can pastebin the output it would be nice | 23:02 |

| y0d4 | How do you find your wireless card? | 23:12 |
| nickrud | y0d4, usually looking in the case works | 23:12 |
| TwoD | I've been trying to share folders between two Ubuntu comps, both using Samba and NFS without luck. The other PC used to run WinXP while I used Samba on my Ubuntu machine, and both could access eachother's shares without authorization. But with two Ubuntu machines I can't get anything to work. Samba logs say they can't create user groups, but I don't know what to do about that. | 23:13 |
| nickrud | y0d4, but lspci will list it, or maybe lsusb | 23:14 |
| Slart | TwoD: I use nfs between my two ubuntu machines | 23:14 |
| cruddpuppet | Halp, my cd burner does not work! | 23:14 |
| cruddpuppet | It always says "no files were selected" when I try burning | 23:14 |
| Slart | TwoD: it works nicely.. samba just gives me all kinds of problems.. | 23:14 |
| cruddpuppet | But I have added four files to burn | 23:14 |
| TwoD | Slart, been trying to do that. Can't even find the other PC | 23:14 |
| Odd-rationale | TwoD: have you tired using sshfs? | 23:14 |
| sgillespie | I have a question | 23:14 |
| TwoD | Odd-rationale, don't know what that is so no. | 23:14 |
| sgillespie | I can start up my wireless networking with iwconfig/dhclient | 23:14 |
| Slart | TwoD: how are you setting it up? you've edited the exports file, right? | 23:14 |
| xerxes1358 | Hello | 23:15 |
| Odd-rationale | !info sshfs | TwoD | 23:15 |
| ubottu | twod: sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9-1 (hardy), package size 31 kB, installed size 116 kB | 23:15 |
| sgillespie | so how do I get it working on startup? | 23:15 |
| TwoD | Odd-rationale, oh sorry, read that wrong, I know what it is, but I haven't | 23:15 |
| xerxes1358 | If I install Ubuntu under windows in Virtual environment will the printer server work? If so what is the EASIEST way to install this?\ | 23:15 |
| Odd-rationale | TwoD: from what i hear, it even better than nfs :) that is, if you only plan to share among linux boxes... | 23:15 |
| dmsuperman_ | python's cpu usage spikes about once per second to 20%. How can I check what is using python and causing such a spike? | 23:15 |
| TwoD | Slart, Yes. When first installing Ubuntu on the other machine I just used the right-click menu to install support for Samba/NFS, but that didn't work. Neither did adding somehting to exports. | 23:16 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, you can add it to /etc/network/interfaces, man interfaces has the right syntax | 23:16 |
| Slart | dmsuperman_: lots of stuff use python.. many small applets for the gnome desktop for example.. clocks, cpu meters, network useage graphs etc | 23:16 |
| dmsuperman_ | Slart: I just like to get a feel for my computer, to know what does what, when, and why | 23:17 |
| Slart | dmsuperman_: you can setup the system monitor to "show command line" for all processes.. that will give you some more info | 23:17 |
| TwoD | Odd-rationale, yeah I read someone saying that, but I haven't found a guide on how to set it up yet. But I'd like to give NFS a good shot first, as it's a more "standard" way I guess. | 23:17 |
| Odd-rationale | TwoD: ok. good luck! | 23:17 |
| Slart | TwoD: you have to install the nfs server part.. not just the client library | 23:17 |
| sgillespie | nickrud: there is an entry there it has iface... and wireless-essid.. entries | 23:17 |
| Slart | !info nfs-kernel-server | TwoD, did you install this? | 23:18 |
| sgillespie | but I still have to manually start when I log in | 23:18 |
| ubottu | twod, did you install this?: nfs-kernel-server (source: nfs-utils): support for NFS kernel server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.1 (hardy), package size 146 kB, installed size 364 kB | 23:18 |
| TwoD | Slart, Umm, why doesn't it install the client when you select to SHARE a folder then? | 23:18 |
| dmsuperman_ | Slart: that doesn't update often enough to see the spikes, I have to do top -d 0.2 to see it | 23:18 |
| dmsuperman_ | Slart: can I see the cmd with top? | 23:18 |
| Slart | TwoD: perhaps it does.. I don't know what ubuntu does behind the scenes =) | 23:18 |
| === carolina is now known as cigno | ||
| TwoD | Slart I think so, but I've just purged my systems of both NFS and Samba to start over from scratch. | 23:19 |
| Slart | dmsuperman_: I personally use htop for the nice colours =).. I don't know if top can do it | 23:19 |
| Slart | TwoD: well.. let's see, run this "sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server" | 23:19 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, do you have the line auto <interface> in that file? | 23:19 |
| TwoD | Slart, neither do I, and that's a bit annoying at times, esp when a gui tool is supposed to make things easier hehe. | 23:19 |
| sgillespie | nickrud: I do indeed | 23:20 |
| TwoD | Slart, ok, wait a sec and I'll run it on both machines. My gf is on the other one but I'm sshing into it. | 23:20 |
| Slart | TwoD: you only have to run it on the server | 23:20 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, I've only set it up a couple of times, wireless in that file. For wired, I'm good. But it Worked For Me. And my notes are at home | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman_ | am I just being petty in wondering why Xorg spikes to 5% cpu usage every second? | 23:21 |
| sgillespie | how do I restart my network here? | 23:21 |
| TwoD | Slart, I want to use both as servers | 23:21 |
| Slart | TwoD: ok, then go ahead | 23:21 |
| failure | xorg is like an italian husband | 23:22 |
| Slart | dmsuperman_: xorg does a lot of things.. and 5% doesn't seem like a lot | 23:22 |
| failure | its wife is always feeding it | 23:22 |
| Slart | dmsuperman_: I wouldn't really worry about that one | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman_ | Slart: alright. I was just wondering...there's a "heartbeat" in my computer | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman_ | Slart: every 1 second the cpu usage spikes to like 15% total in the monitor | 23:22 |
| TwoD | sgillespie, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? | 23:22 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 23:22 |
| TwoD | Slart, ok done | 23:22 |
| sgillespie | nickrud: actually when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart my wireless network comes up | 23:23 |
| Slart | TwoD: ok, lets edit the exports file | 23:23 |
| TwoD | Slart, btw, will I be able to browse the shared folders just like with Samba? Or do I have to know which folders are shared and mount them to access them? | 23:23 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, hm, sounds like something in your setup isn't ready when networking comes up. Where/when does your wireless chip module get inserted into the kernel? | 23:23 |
| Slart | TwoD: I don't think you can browse nfs folders | 23:23 |
| Slart | TwoD: "gksudo gedit /etc/exports" | 23:24 |
| sgillespie | nickrud: how do i figure that out? | 23:24 |
| RensoreK | Im done trying Ubuntu for the day. I think Ill switch back to PCLinuxOS | 23:24 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, you're not doing anything special? What chip do you have? | 23:24 |
| sgillespie | its a broadcomm | 23:24 |
| TwoD | Slart, ok, but isn't that a bit handicapped lol? | 23:24 |
| pudland | slart: format done. thanks again! | 23:25 |
| sgillespie | ubuntu did everything automagically for me :) | 23:25 |
| Slart | pudland: you're welcome.. glad it worked | 23:25 |
| aguitel | i can't check to enable important security updates from sources software ,anyone know about this ? | 23:25 |
| TwoD | Slart, editing exports btw | 23:25 |
| Slart | TwoD: well.. I usually mount the shared folder somewhere.. then I can of course browse it as usual | 23:25 |
| Slart | TwoD: ok.. a new line at the end.. first the folder you want to share | 23:26 |
| Slart | TwoD: then we do some ip limiting.. I use 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 to only let my lan mount this | 23:26 |
| TwoD | Slart, ok, but is there a way to see which folders are shared on a server from a client? | 23:26 |
| Slart | TwoD: and at the end put (no_subtree_check) | 23:26 |
| nickrud | sgillespie, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be ready, but if you can call network restart after boot, something is late ... | 23:27 |
| Slart | TwoD: not sure.. I haven't really tried | 23:27 |
| TwoD | Slart, no_subtree_check does what? | 23:27 |
| sgillespie | understood | 23:27 |
| Slart | TwoD: it's some kind of new setting.. if you don't put it in it will print warnings and stuff when you start nfs | 23:28 |
| aidy | what's the intrepid channel? | 23:28 |
| dmsuperman_ | aidy: #ubuntu+1 likely | 23:28 |
| aidy | ohyah | 23:28 |
| aidy | ty | 23:28 |
| dmsuperman_ | aidy: surely | 23:28 |
| trojatra | I just experienced a weird issue after restarting, my user is not allowed to use Synaptic, Update Manager, or Add/Remove. | 23:28 |
| Slart | TwoD: it's a long explanation and I didn't get half of it.. check the man page if you have problem falling asleep at night =) | 23:28 |
| TwoD | Slart, ok, I assume it should be entered without the parenthesis... | 23:28 |
| trojatra | Failed to run synaptic as user root. | 23:28 |
| trojatra | The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. | 23:28 |
| Slart | TwoD: nope.. include the parenthesis | 23:28 |
| TwoD | Slart, well, Samba kept me up last night, maybe time for NFS today hehe | 23:29 |
| TwoD | Slart, oh, rats | 23:29 |
| Slart | TwoD: my line looks like this /media/disk5 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0(no_subtree_check) | 23:29 |
| Osse | Anyone here any good at phpmyadmin? I've installed it through synaptic, but it doesn't show in 'www'. | 23:29 |
| TwoD | Slart, ok done | 23:29 |
| Slart | TwoD: ok, save the file, close the editor | 23:29 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: it's in /usr/share/phpymadmin i think | 23:30 |

| dmsuperman_ | Osse: go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin to access it | 23:30 |

| Error4o4 | Compiz that comes with Ubuntu 8.04 is not Compiz Fusion ?? :/ | 23:31 |
| Slart | TwoD: I don't think it will matter.. | 23:31 |

| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: i believe it is, why do you ask? | 23:31 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - I can't acress it directly through localhost, don't know why =/ | 23:31 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: what do you get when you go http://localhost/phpmyadmin | 23:31 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: 404? | 23:31 |
| Osse | Yea | 23:31 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: and have you restarted apache after installing? | 23:31 |
| Osse | hmm, I think so. | 23:31 |
| mcphail | Osse: you'll need to configure apache | 23:31 |
| Slart | Twigathy: I think I just wrote it when looking at some example online | 23:32 |
| yaris123456789 | where is the global section of httpd.conf ? | 23:32 |
| Error4o4 | dmsuperman_: little confused, cant find any configuration GUI, and Compiz and Compiz Fusion have 2 different websites | 23:32 |
| markelhas | hi ppl need to put firefox using jre plugin with ubuntu 64 bits, any tips? | 23:32 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: for the configuration gui, install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager" | 23:32 |
| RequinB4 | Hi, i'm trying to make a shell wait (sleep?) until all instances of a certain program are gone... But this: 'while (ps ax | grep program | wc -l) > 1 ; do sleep 5 ; done' seems to just stall forever... | 23:33 |
| TwoD | Slart, I think I'm getting the warnings you talked about, will recheck the syntax. | 23:33 |
| trojatra | My user was removed from the sudoers file, and since I'm not in the sudoers file, I can't add myself to the sudoers file, any suggestions? | 23:33 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: then it'll be in System -> preferences - >advanced graphical something or other | 23:33 |
| Error4o4 | dmsuperman_: ok thx | 23:33 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: or optionally run "ccsm" in the terminal to open the manager after installing it | 23:33 |
| y0d4 | I can't connect to wirelesss can someone help me? | 23:33 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 23:33 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: then if /phpmyadmin still doesn't work we'll create an alias for it | 23:34 |
| Slart | TwoD: here's my /etc/exports http://pastebin.com/f6aefbbad | 23:34 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Yeah, found that command, I couldn't access the phpmyadmin site =/ | 23:34 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: so you executed that command and restarted apache then? | 23:34 |
| TwoD | Slart, found the problem, an extra space after the mask | 23:34 |
| RequinB4 | Hi, i'm trying to make a shell wait (sleep?) until all instances of a certain program are gone... But this: 'while (ps ax | grep program | wc -l) > 1 ; do sleep 5 ; done' seems to just stall forever... | 23:35 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Yeah, I ran sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart - Nothing. | 23:35 |
| y0d4 | I can't connect to wirelesss can someone help me? | 23:35 |
| TwoD | And I just remembered ntfs drives don't support NFS exports 'sigh' | 23:35 |
| mcphail | Osse: what is your server's DocumentRoot? | 23:35 |
| Slart | TwoD: sigh.. | 23:35 |
| trojatra | Can anyone help with my sudo problem? I can't do anything that I need to do. | 23:35 |
| Osse | mcphail - I have no idea. o.O | 23:35 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: it doesn't matter, phpmyadmin is referenced with an apache alias | 23:35 |
| mcphail | dmsuperman_: it _does_ matter | 23:35 |
| TwoD | Slart, but other than that I get no errors atleast... | 23:36 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: why would the document root affect phpmyadmin? | 23:36 |
| TwoD | Maybe I can trick it with a symlink... (doubt it) | 23:36 |
| Osse | mcphail - ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"? | 23:36 |
| joshua24 | does anyone know of a backup app that will allow me to specify a directory to backup and backs it up reguarly, and only updates files that changed? | 23:36 |
| Error4o4 | dmsuperman_: ok thx, that worked | 23:36 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: sure | 23:36 |
| Slart | TwoD: ah.. well.. try accessing that share from the other machine then | 23:36 |
| nickrud | joshua24, sbackup does that, using tar | 23:36 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: DocumentRoot "/var/www" is more like it | 23:36 |
| Slart | TwoD: http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#nfs | 23:37 |
| mcphail | Osse: try looking in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 23:37 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: though yours may not be /var/www | 23:37 |
| joshua24 | thanx... i need to backup SuperTux games, desktop files etc. :) | 23:37 |
| mcphail | Osse: mine is /var/www/htdocs | 23:37 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: 000-default, at least lately | 23:37 |
| Osse | DocumentRoot /var/www/ | 23:37 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: you didn't answer me, why does DocumentRoot affect phpmyadmin? | 23:37 |
| mcphail | dmsuperman_: becomes 000-default when simlinked in sites-enabled | 23:37 |

| Osse | mcphail, dmsuperman_ - But in my www folder, no phpmyadmin to be found | 23:38 |
| TwoD | Slart, thanks, have you used FUSE? | 23:38 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: it won't be | 23:38 |
| Osse | Oh. | 23:38 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: like I said, it installs it to /usr/share/phpmyadmin | 23:38 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: then uses an apache alias to access it | 23:38 |
| Slart | TwoD: I think ubuntu hardy uses fuse for ntfs.. or? | 23:38 |
| Osse | Ayeh. | 23:38 |
| Osse | How do I do that? | 23:38 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: mcphail i think was helping you set that up | 23:38 |
| Slart | TwoD: but I haven't used it as a conscious choice..no | 23:38 |
| P041NX | AzizLight: This is a alpha release. Tel me the things that you would like, and i will add it | 23:39 |
| TwoD | Slart, well I get a warning stating that NFS export is not supported for the folder I tried, which is on an ntfs partition | 23:39 |
| mcphail | dmsuperman_: mine doesn't have any alias set up - just a simlink from /var/www/phpmyadmin/ to /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ | 23:39 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: does /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf exist? | 23:39 |
| r4b | guys, all my videos in any format on any player have become unbearably bright to watch | 23:39 |
| TwoD | Slart, as are most of those I try to share. | 23:39 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: i dunno, when i installed from repos that's how it's always done it | 23:40 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - no. | 23:40 |
| mcphail | dmsuperman_: thus i would need to change my DocumentRoot to /var/www to access it | 23:40 |
| Slart | TwoD: hmm.. I guess you'd have to wait for kernel 2.6.27 then.. | 23:40 |
| y0d4 | I can't connect to wirelesss can someone help me? | 23:40 |
| nickrud | mcphail, then you didn't use apt-get to install phpmyadmin? | 23:40 |
| mcphail | dmsuperman_: this is a box which has been upgraded since warty, so maybe it is different | 23:40 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: it creates /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf which has Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin as well as various other options | 23:40 |
| markelhas | plz some one help out with my problem | 23:40 |

| Osse | I don't get what to do dmsuperman_. =/ | 23:40 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: does /usr/share/phpmyadmin at least exist? | 23:41 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Yeah | 23:41 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: alright...the easiest way is probably to do this: "sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin" | 23:41 |
| Gin | when I scroll or move a window around, my ubuntu sytsem produces noises. hhas any one seen this problem before? | 23:41 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: then try to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin | 23:41 |
| mcphail | nickrud: i'd never install something like phpmyadmin from outside the repos. Sort of thing which _needs_ automatic updates! | 23:41 |
| trojatra | Can anyone please tell me the user group for sudo? | 23:42 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: let me know if that works/gives you any errors (other than the "can't log in to mysql" error) | 23:42 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Works like a charm :O | 23:42 |
| nickrud | mcphail, yeah, I saw what you said about updates since warty. No wonder it's weird ;) | 23:42 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: cool :) | 23:42 |
| Reaby | trojatra: admin | 23:42 |
| Osse | Thanks a lot dmsuperman_! | 23:42 |
| Osse | Thanks mcphail. | 23:42 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: sure thing | 23:42 |
| mcphail | Osse: sorry for leading you astray - my advice seems to be a few years out of date... | 23:42 |
| bung | anyone ever install ubuntu server on a machine without a video card? | 23:43 |
| Osse | mcphail - Haha, it's okay. I didn't quite get what you guys were discussing, but I'm sure I learned something. | 23:43 |
| dmsuperman_ | mcphail: sorry for stepping on toes, didn't mean to tell you you were wrong or anything | 23:43 |
| trojatra | Reaby, okay, I "id $user" and admin isn't listed. This is the only user besides root on my computer, do you know how I can add myself back to admin? | 23:43 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Could you explain to me what exactly I did? Heh, want to learn some from it so that I can explain and help others. ;D | 23:43 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: in short: you just created a link to it inside your /var/www folder so you wouldn't have to configure anything | 23:43 |
| shiloh7 | i just wanted to say, i installed 8.04 in my dell insperon 1100, out of the box working compiz fusion | 23:43 |
| r4b | guys, all my videos in any format on any player have become unbearably bright to watch | 23:43 |
| mcphail | dmsuperman_: no probs. i learned something new as well | 23:43 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: do you get the concept of symlinks? | 23:44 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - So the sudo ln -s makes sort of a link? | 23:44 |
| TwoD | Slart, thanks for the help! I think I'll have to get back wrestling with Samba for now. Will be converting my disks to another filesystem later, but that will take quiet a while and I need those shares now hehe. | 23:44 |
| Osse | So the contents of /usr/share/phpmyadmin are linked to /var/www/phpmyadmin? | 23:44 |
| ShdwShinobi | I'm having a resolution issue with my 8600GT. Does anyone know how I can succesfully manually set the resolution? | 23:44 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: yes. it creates a symlink, which could be explained as "another door into an existing room" | 23:44 |
| Osse | Ahh | 23:44 |
| Slart | TwoD: mm.. I've been googling a bit.. and I think samba might be your best bet right now | 23:44 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: yeah. now both /usr/share/phpmyadmin and /var/www/phpmyadmin point to the same place | 23:44 |
| Slart | TwoD: perhaps in intrepid | 23:44 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - I'll add that to my own Linux blackboox. =) | 23:44 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: only /usr/share/phpmyadmin is the real location | 23:44 |
| Slart | TwoD: good luck, hope you get it to work | 23:45 |
| Osse | Yea, got it. Thanks :D | 23:45 |
| yeniklasor | More than one program can't use sound card simultaniously on my Ubuntu. Do we have a fix for this? | 23:45 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: yup :D | 23:45 |
| Reaby | trojatra: sudo addgroup [username] admin | 23:45 |
| dmsuperman_ | yeniklasor: it depends on the programs and how well they handle it, plus the sound type | 23:45 |
| r4b | guys, all my videos in any format on any player have become unbearably bright to watch. I like ubuntu but this is intolerable! | 23:45 |
| dmsuperman_ | yeniklasor: I can use mpd and songbird and vlc all at once, but occasionally flash steals the entire sound device from all the rest | 23:45 |
| trojatra | Reaby, I have to have sudo powers to do that.. | 23:45 |
| Reaby | trojatra: whoppies | 23:45 |
| Reaby | trojatra: true. | 23:46 |
| trojatra | Reaby, I am no longer in admin, and need to figure out a way to get myself back in. | 23:46 |
| TwoD | Slart, yeah I'm hoping intrepid will save me too. I did have Samba working in one direction atleast, but then it insisted on mounting every share I browsed to, which was extremely annoying as those mounts never worked... | 23:46 |
| markelhas | need to put firefox using jre plugin with ubuntu 64 bits, any tips? | 23:46 |
| aguitel | i can't check to enable important security updates from sources software ,anyone know about this ? | 23:46 |
| yeniklasor | dmsuperman_ : Previous build of ubuntus wasn't have this issue... | 23:46 |
| dmsuperman_ | yeniklasor: i have the issue and i'm on gutsy | 23:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | yeniklasor: it seems to be chance that causes it to work and not work | 23:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | yeniklasor: do you use pulse or alsa? | 23:47 |
| yeniklasor | alsa | 23:47 |
| Reaby | trojatra: boot from grub with recovery mode and then run that command | 23:47 |
| TwoD | I've actually got two problems now that I think of it. Sharing folders with samba, and accessing thoses shares via the computer names instead of ips. | 23:47 |
| trojatra | Reaby, thanks, I'll try that. | 23:47 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Isn't it the same as "alias <path1> <path2>"? | 23:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: apache has the Alias command, which would essentially do the same thing | 23:48 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Ah, okay. =) | 23:48 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: the difference is, this is filesystem level. so, it's a bit easier for you to handle it | 23:48 |
| Error4o4 | how can I install a compiz theme, do I need some other package than "CompizConfig" installed for this | 23:48 |
| dmsuperman_ | Osse: when you to to /var/www/phpmyadmin in your nautilus it redirects. i like it that way, so I can sort of group things together like that | 23:48 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: you want a theme for your window decorator | 23:49 |
| amlou | Hello | 23:49 |
| Osse | dmsuperman_ - Ah, okay! That's nifty! | 23:49 |
| P041NX | Issue with usb port reset conflict, ehci failing to detect lower bus speed 1.1 device. anyone have a tip to resolve this issue? | 23:49 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: gnome-look.org and get a gnome theme and use system -> prefs. -> appearence to install it | 23:49 |
| Error4o4 | dmsuperman_: i found some themes for compiz like: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Ice+Emerald?content=70284 | 23:49 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: that's if you're using the emerald window decorator | 23:50 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: gotta install emerald from the repos for that | 23:50 |
| Osse | TwoD - Solved your accessing through network problem? | 23:50 |
| mannytu | !compiz | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 23:50 |
| r4b | guys, all my videos in any format on any player have become unbearably bright to watch. I like ubuntu but this is intolerable! Forum searches yield no answers | 23:50 |
| Error4o4 | dmsuperman_: ok thx | 23:50 |
| r4b | can i reset my codecs or something? | 23:50 |
| dmsuperman_ | Error4o4: then I think all you have to do is go into ccsm, then under the Window Decoration plugin change it from whatever the current "command" field is to "emerald --replace" | 23:50 |
| Osse | TwoD - Solved your problem with network sharing? | 23:51 |
| gubb | Does anyone know how to fix sound not working on YouTube vids with firefox 3? | 23:51 |
| Osse | gubb - Have you another program that requires an sound output playing? | 23:51 |
| ShdwShinobi | gubb, did you install the libflashsupport package? | 23:51 |
| P041NX | r4b: Would you mind telling us what moviey player you have used? caffine and xine use the same engin, so messing up 1 will affect the other | 23:51 |
| y0d4 | I can't connect to wirelesss can someone help me? | 23:52 |
| c0mp133713313371 | gubb - Not working at all? Or just kind of garbled, 'electric-sounding' sound? | 23:52 |
| gubb | Shdw: lemme check | 23:52 |
| gubb | c0mp: not at all | 23:52 |
| cyberwolf | hello, is it possible to get 3D to a imac 3g ? | 23:52 |
| r4b | po4inx: i'm not sure what you mean, i have mplayer, smplayer and vlc installed | 23:53 |
| gubb | Osse: no other program running | 23:53 |
| c0mp133713313371 | gubb - Hmmmm.... yeah, usually when sound doesn't work for a program, it's cause some other application is using audio output. | 23:53 |
| r4b | don't nkow about caffeine or xine | 23:53 |
| TwoD | Osse, not yet. Had to abandon NFS because of lacking ntfs support in my kernel. Purged NFS, right-clicked a file, chose "share", installed samba when prompted, now getting "net usershare" returned error 255 [...] cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Connection refused, maybe smbd is not running... | 23:53 |
| c0mp133713313371 | For me, at least. | 23:53 |
| remoteCTRL | y0d4: what have you done so far? | 23:53 |
| nickster500 | hi | 23:53 |
| Osse | TwoD - It can easily be done through the Samba configuration file. | 23:53 |
| P041NX | r4b: VLC should run on it own engine, so if brightness/contrast setting is messed up, would you mind checking the vlcc player? | 23:54 |
| TwoD | Osse, yeah I know. I used to do it that way when the other PC ran WinXP. Then my setup worked fine but borked out completely when switching to Ubuntu on the other machine. | 23:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | need help trying to install ubuntu on an IBM machine but Bios doesnt have an option to change drives and it boots straight into windows, can someone help me? | 23:54 |
| [ipc]-michael | Pirate_Hunter use wibu | 23:55 |
| r4b | po41nx: vlc is just as bad as the others | 23:55 |
| remoteCTRL | Pirate_Hunter: try pressing f8 in bios screen and see if you get to choose the boot media then | 23:55 |
| TwoD | Osse, so I thought "Why not do it the way which (according to the Ubuntu-way) should "just work"? Hehe | 23:55 |
| gubb | Shdw: it wasn't installed.. applying | 23:55 |
| nickster500 | i just got ubuntu i want to use windows drivers but i don't know how to | 23:55 |
| remoteCTRL | y0d4: still there? | 23:55 |
| nickster500 | ? | 23:55 |
| dmsuperman_ | nickster500: you don't use windows drivers in ubuntu | 23:55 |
| dmsuperman_ | nickster500: you use linux drivers | 23:56 |
| ShdwShinobi | gubb, ok. let me know if it works.. you need it for flash sound output | 23:56 |
| Osse | TwoD - What requirements do you have for the share? If you just want anyone on your network able to access the folder, just add; public = yes, guest ok = yes, guest only = yes, guest account = nobody, browsable = yes - to your samba path configuration? | 23:56 |
| markelhas | can some home tell me a way to remote desktop ubuntu 64 bits over internet? | 23:56 |
| nickster500 | i know | 23:56 |
| nickster500 | but how do u enable them | 23:56 |
| ompaul | nickster500, you don't | 23:56 |
| dmsuperman_ | nickster500: enable what? the linux drivers? | 23:56 |
| Pici | markelhas: the same way you do with 32 bits | 23:56 |

| markelhas | java jre plugins problem for 64bits | 23:57 |
| Reaby | gubb, c0mp133713313371: applies only for pulseaudio use. | 23:57 |
| nickster500 | is that the files i use to enable my wireless driver | 23:58 |
| noah | where is it configured which user a daemon runs as? for instance, mysql? | 23:58 |
| Osse | Could someone recommend me a good editor that handles CSS/PHP/HTML in Linux? Something that easily handles variables, highlighting and good support? | 23:58 |
| TwoD | Osse, will test that. I tested a gui tool before called "system-config-samba" which seemed pretty good. But I don't know if it actually works yet. | 23:58 |
| ShdwShinobi | Osse kdevelop | 23:58 |
| r4b | po41nx: the numbers bring up the meter thing but it doesnt move | 23:58 |
| markelhas | Pici, my problem ist over internet , not on a local network | 23:58 |
| Expl0ited | Osse: screem | 23:58 |
| ShdwShinobi | or bluefish | 23:58 |
| niziol | i sreach ssh exploit. :( | 23:58 |
| Evnebs | Hello. | 23:58 |
| Osse | TwoD - Let me know if you need a more exact configuration example. | 23:58 |
| bercik | What tool similar to yakuake for GNOME You suggest guys? | 23:58 |
| Pici | markelhas: Okay? How does that change anything, what exactly are you trying to do that you are having issues with? | 23:58 |
| r4b | po41nx: it doesnt go up or down | 23:58 |
| Osse | Thanks ShdwShinobi, Expl0ited - Will look into these. | 23:59 |
| remoteCTRL | Pirate_Hunter: is it a thinkpad or something? | 23:59 |
| gubb | Sa-weeet it works after libflashthing :D | 23:59 |
| mcphail | Osse: not to be flippant, but i always end up back with vim fro these things | 23:59 |
| markelhas | Pici, if there is a way to have jre 5 or 6 plugins in firefox, i can use sslexplorer for example | 23:59 |
