| koshar1 | greendot another option would be boot a machine with ethernet with a livecd, install the wifi on that machine in the live session, make a aptoncd disk, and use the disk on the unconnected machine | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| koshar1 | Khisanth: i agree, it would only need to be connected until the wifi was established | 00:00 |
| chetnick | my sound icon in the upper right corner is not there any more. How can i put it back? | 00:00 |
| Khisanth | koshar1: oops actually messing up the unit, maybe not 100 meters but 100ft should still be good enough | 00:00 |
| chetnick | never mind found it | 00:00 |
| carandraug | chetnick: right click in the pannel and select add to panel.. | 00:00 |
| chetnick | :) | 00:01 |
| Khisanth | unless it's a really big house | 00:01 |
| nrg_ | ok | 00:01 |
| thenetduck | ink-1: Hi sorry I don't mean to come off winny... anyway, I am trying to get active hard drive protction on my ThinkPad and I have found this wikipage that explains everything.. I think : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardDiskShockProtection | 00:01 |
| greendot | koshar1: i'm going to download all the debs, and how would i install them from the command line? | 00:01 |
| Crshman | hi all i followed this tutorial to see if i could get PA working...http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712&postcount=472 but now i don't have any sound | 00:01 |
| koshar1 | Khisanth actuall ethernet is rated at 100M best case scenarion | 00:01 |
| thenetduck | ink-1: I would like to get it working but am at a loss on how to get everything installed, up and running | 00:01 |
| Crshman | when i try to play something i get an error that says "failed to connect to stream" | 00:01 |
| rconan | greendot, you can just put them in /var/cache/apt/sources.list then use apt-get aptitude or synaptic as you normally would | 00:01 |
| Khisanth | koshar1: yeah but a 100 meter cable might not be cheaper | 00:01 |
| thenetduck | ink-1: it seems simple i just don't understand what I need to do to get it working | 00:02 |
| koshar1 | greendot: you would need to make a packages fuile and then use apt or synaptic, if you tried to install them via gdebi you would be plunged into dependency hell | 00:02 |
| rconan | Khisanth, is 100 meters not longer than a network cable can be and still be within standards | 00:02 |
| ink-1 | thenetduck: sorry, I have never used an IBM laptop | 00:02 |
| thenetduck | ink-1: and I don't know how to apply a batch to a kernel... | 00:02 |
| thenetduck | ink-1: ok | 00:02 |
| thenetduck | has anyone here gotten Active Hard Drive Protection working on a thinkpad? | 00:03 |
| koshar1 | rconan over 100 meters and installed within the intended specifications and theres no garuntee it will work | 00:03 |
| thenetduck | or know how to patch a kernel | 00:03 |

| ubottu | 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 | 00:04 |
| Gh0sty | have done it, works fine with alsa only | 00:04 |
| koshar1 | greendot: si in summary if you wanted togo down that path you could, you would need to manually download all the packages n say a flash drive and add them to a folder on your destinationmachine, and everytime you added another package run scanpackages... to update the packages file | 00:05 |
| koshar1 | greendot and add the folder in synaptic as a repository | 00:05 |
| Kohlrak-Server | does anyone know the file and directory for the xserver resolution file? | 00:05 |
| greendot | okay wait a second, Ubuntu can access my external HDD | 00:05 |
| greendot | i'll put the files in a folder called "ndiswrapper" | 00:06 |
| kcman1 | carandraug hey thanks the k3b worked like a champ | 00:06 |

| Eonx | 4270 | 00:06 |
| gRaCiOsO | someone know about wireless | 00:06 |
| rconan | koshar1, can he not just copy them into /var/cache/apt/archives, that's what i normally do in similar situations | 00:06 |
| gRaCiOsO | ? | 00:06 |
| koshar1 | greendot this is basicly the procedure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal | 00:06 |
| rconan | !wifi | gRaCiOsO | 00:06 |
| ubottu | gRaCiOsO: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:06 |
| rconan | koshar1, that is overkill for this situation i think | 00:07 |
| koshar1 | rconan he could but he would still need to reconstruct the packages file | 00:07 |
| carandraug | kcman1: you welcome. Glad you got it working | 00:07 |
| rconan | koshar1, well i never have done that, it always works for me | 00:07 |
| koshar1 | rconan the package manager looks at the packages file NOT the contents of the cache folder for packages | 00:07 |
| gRaCiOsO | rconan, i have read that but i couldnt get log with wpa encryption only wep | 00:07 |
| freedumMan | Anyone have issues with Firefox 3 crashing on certain button clicks? ive installed 2.0 but i'd love to get 3.0 back asap ! | 00:08 |

| jfincher | how do I change my window manager in Ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| greendot | koshar1: the file i have to download to do this has a billion dependancies as well | 00:08 |
| rconan | gRaCiOsO, then ask a specific question not a general one, unfortunately i can't help with your problem | 00:08 |
| koshar1 | greendot: you could install dpkg-dev manually as it only has a couple of dependencys IIRC | 00:09 |
| greendot | so how do i set up soemthing to handle this if i have nothing to handle it to begin with | 00:09 |
| gRaCiOsO | rconan, well i have asking all the afternoon here and reading too | 00:09 |
| Nutzebahn | Hello. How do I change the color depth settings in Ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| greendot | binutils, bzip2, cpio, dpkg, libtimedate-perl, lzma, make, patch, perl-modules, perl5, and god knows how many those each have to each other | 00:09 |
| favro | jfincher: at login click the options button and select change session | 00:10 |
| vendego | DCC SEND "pok" 0 0 0 | 00:10 |
| rconan | greendot, i think you're in luck, most of those will have little or no dependancies | 00:10 |
| koshar1 | greendot i always keep a persoanl repository using this methood on my ipod as i maintain 3 machines without web access, however it is MUCh easier if the machine you use to downlaod the packages is getting the packages with a package manager | 00:10 |
| jfincher | favro: thanks | 00:10 |
| jfincher | I'll try that | 00:10 |
| favro | :) | 00:10 |
| greendot | koshar1: the ndiswrapper-utils has only 8 dpenedancies | 00:11 |
| dfgas | how do i get desktop icons to default to right side | 00:11 |
| koshar1 | greendot double click on the dpkg-dev.deb package and it will open using gdebi graphicval package installer, and will prompt you wjhat dependencies it needs | 00:11 |
| greendot | i'd rahter just install those wihtout having to install more than i need | 00:11 |
| dfgas | i can't find anything on google | 00:11 |
| KleinerHai | ah...ndiswrapper...does it came out of the box with wep support? | 00:11 |
| rconan | greendot, if you're prepared to listen to me over koshar1 i would be willing to bet you can just put them in /var/cache/apt/archives and it will work with no further trouble | 00:12 |
| koshar1 | greendot the problem is the 8 dependencies may have a further 8 dependedcies and so forth... | 00:12 |
| greendot | i already got them all koshar1 | 00:12 |
| greendot | all the ones that they each depend on, and their childrens children as well | 00:12 |
| greendot | rconan, /var/cache/apt/archives? | 00:13 |
| koshar1 | greendot: well you could use gdebi | 00:13 |
| greendot | koshar1: if i did it rconan's way, would that work as well? | 00:13 |
| favro | dfgas: if you drag them where you want them they should be there next time | 00:13 |
| rconan | greendot, yes, it's where apt normally puts its package files before installation, i'm almost certain it will check there for them before trying to download | 00:13 |
| koshar1 | greendot rconan,s methood may work but you will hit a snag if the package ISNT in the packages file with the correct version | 00:13 |
| greendot | i made sure i got all the correct versions | 00:14 |
| greendot | i'm not supid, i just don't have a way to apt-get yet | 00:14 |
| greendot | lol | 00:14 |
| koshar1 | greendot sone packages have a depedency equil to or greater than another version number ect. | 00:14 |
| rconan | greendot, i've done this before in similar situations and it worked for me | 00:15 |
| greendot | koshar1: the ubuntu package search tells me what version i needed, linked me to it, and gave me the download links | 00:15 |
| Dedi | anyone has a good postfix reject_rbl_client config for recipient/helo/sender restriction? | 00:15 |
| Khisanth | well if that doesn't work you can still use gdebi or dpkg -i :) | 00:16 |
| rconan | greendot, the problem will occur if ubuntu package search knows about versions which your computer doesn't know about because your packagelists are out of date | 00:16 |
| koshar1 | greendot apt or synaptic will only wok if it knows where the file is and this is determined by it being in the packages file, gdebi doesnt care about that as it expects you to manually meet the dependencies | 00:16 |
| chetnick | Is it safe now to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 without having major problems after upgrade. I had very very bad exeperince after upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy. Had to do clean install. | 00:16 |
| greendot | so koshar1: if this doesn't work, how do i do the gdebi way? | 00:16 |
| carandraug | greendot: the script, the synaptic package manager generates it's a simple bash script with wget. You can open it in a Windows and see the link for all deb files you need. I think that's the easiest thing to do | 00:16 |
| === ViperBorg[WinDoz is now known as ViperBorg | ||
| snikker | i'm unable to see the complete window of dvdrip, even if i clink on maximize icon... someone have my same problem? | 00:17 |

| greendot | and if it works i'll be happy | 00:17 |
| greendot | wish me luck guys | 00:17 |
| koshar1 | greendot: double click the *deb file and gbebi will atemp to install the package. if its dependedcies arnt met it will let you know which package to install, so the packages will need to be installed in the correct order. | 00:18 |
| carandraug | greendot: good luck which whatever method you try | 00:18 |
| greendot | alright, i'll be back to let you guys know one way or the other | 00:18 |
| Gnea | chetnick: yes, you may hit a snag with locale generation, but it's pretty easy to get through | 00:18 |
| koshar1 | greendot eg if 1.deb depends on 2.deb which depends on 3.deb you will have to install 3 first then 2 then 1 :-) | 00:18 |
| Gnea | !upgrade | chetnick | 00:19 |
| ubottu | chetnick: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:19 |
| chetnick | Gnea: ok thanks, i would go for it, but currently i dont have any space to backup system. | 00:19 |

| freedumMan | what am i looking for | 00:36 |
| carandraug | godmode117: even if you have burned Cd's with before, it doesn't mean it's still working. Mine stopped working from one day to the other (guess it grew old). Try reading a normal data CD and see if it worls | 00:36 |

| godmode117 | nothing im trying is working | 00:51 |
| carandraug | Rhodetrem: I never tried it but in theory, you should be able to add the intrepid repositories to your list, update pidgin, and then remove it from the list. This would make taking care of dependencies easier than just downloading the deb file. Also, I've heard you can get msnp15 support with previous versions if you compile it yourself and make a small changes. The code for has been there for quite soem time but had some bugs | 00:51 |

| Miyavix3 | sudo? | 00:54 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Miyavix3: i would highly doubt it | 00:54 |
| jebblue | andycaz i use grep -irl also check "man grep" | 00:54 |
| Miyavix3 | Kohlrak, why not? That's kinda silly that there's no forward and back... I have them on my Thinkpad. | 00:55 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Miyavix3: iirc, you can only boot one thing at a time. However, there's always wine for compatable programs and vm ware for what isn't compatable | 00:55 |
| Miyavix3 | o_o | 00:55 |
| Miyavix3 | not windows OS, like a file browser | 00:55 |
| Miyavix3 | File browsers and firefox | 00:55 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | don't know about what they are on the keyboard (but i'm sure they are there somewhere), but there should be GUI buttons (which i use) | 00:56 |
| andycaz | jebblue: but that syntax only works on files inside the same dir? can it be made to work with subdirs? | 00:56 |
| cppmonkey | jebblue, the only thing that is enabled is Digital Camera, nothing todo with wanting to call my HDs removable. now I could just mod fstab but then if I went though 'Places' it might screw it up still | 00:56 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | actually, for the file browser, you should be able to just click the folder name beside the one you're in and it'll go to that indirection (left to go up) | 00:56 |
| carandraug | Kohlrak-Serve1: take a look at .gconf/desktop/gnome/screen/default/0/%gconf.xml | 00:56 |
| Sake | koshar1, yea, that should work. I'll try it out when I'm done my work. ;) | 00:57 |

| Kohlrak-Serve1 | miyavix3: however, worst case scenario, i'm sure both programs are open source and do have keyboard shortcuts for some things, just a matter of finding out where that is and what the functions for back and forward are | 00:58 |

| mdkaneda55 | dafydd: did u try "startx" | 01:37 |
| smmagic | !fixres | 01:37 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 01:37 |
| shingen | ApprenticeBuntu: what drivers are you using/ | 01:37 |
| smmagic | That ApprenticeBuntu | 01:37 |
| dafydd | yeah I get a fatal server error | 01:37 |
| unop | Kohlrak-Serve1, hmm. not sure then. see what ubottu just said | 01:37 |
| dafydd | says that server is already active for display 0 | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, if gdm is running - it may say that.. kill the gdm service | 01:37 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | unop, i was just looking at that too. I think it might be able to help. | 01:37 |
| dafydd | I guess because x is starting alright, but gdm is having problems | 01:37 |
| Leefmc | unop: On the same subject, if you screw up your xorg, how do you fix it with a default ubuntu installation? The reason i ask, is because on my system i would hit "ctrl t" because that is bound to the terminal, but that is not default.. how do you access the terminal without the mouse, on a default install? | 01:38 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | unop: if not, i'll be back. XD | 01:38 |
| mixel | hi can everyone help me whit a old pcchips 548lmrt my mouse ps/2 dont work | 01:38 |
| dafydd | ok, so sudo gdm --k | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, at the gdm login screen under sessions there may be a 'failsafe terminal' try that one and try the command 'gnome-session' in the terminal | 01:38 |

| ubottu | ApprenticeBuntu, please see my private message | 01:38 |
| GL-san | ctrl+alt+f2 will give you a terminal | 01:38 |
| mixel | hi can everyone help me whit a old pcchips 548lmrt my mouse ps/2 dont work | 01:38 |
| unop | Leefmc, alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal .. or ctrl+alt+f1 to get a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f7 to get back) | 01:38 |
| dafydd | @Dr_willis unfortunately I can't click on the options when gdm starts because there isn't enough time to move the cursor to that button before gdm reloads itself | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, also you could try starting gnome as a different user. It sounds like it MIGHT be some gnome setting messing things up | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, so gdm is starting and crashing that fast eh? thats... odd... | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, that sounds more like some X config/driver issue then. | 01:39 |
| dafydd | yeah, after an update I just did today, been away from the comp for about 2 weeks and did an update. after wards no applications could be started but I could use the gnome panel to safely shutdown the computer | 01:40 |
| Leefmc | unop: So what are those btw? I've never heard a "true" description of what they are? (The alt+ctrl+fx" terminals), are they actually just virtual terminals? | 01:40 |
| mixel | hi can everyone help me whit a old pcchips 548lmrt my mouse ps/2 dont work | 01:41 |
| unop | Leefmc, virtual terminals or consoles perhaps | 01:41 |
| guesswho | Im trying to run a USB drive into a virtual windows xp pro machine useing innotek virtual machine and it keeps giving me this error "Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer." any ideas please? | 01:41 |
| AMDfanboy | SUPER SIMPLE - i made a directory /docs, but it won't let me write to it, because its at the root and owned by root, how do i change that? | 01:41 |
| Leefmc | unop: So any idea why #7 is the "real" one? Seems like an odd number heh | 01:41 |
| unop | AMDfanboy, sudo chown $USER.$USER /docs | 01:41 |
| Leefmc | unop: And what happens if you load up a desktop in #1-6? | 01:42 |
| unop | Leefmc, #7 isn't the real one, it's just another one .. X just happens to choose it because the previous 6 have been used .. if you change the number of virtual terminals, X will choose the next available one to use | 01:42 |
| knopf_ | hi. is there a way to see why '/etc/init.d/mysql start' failed? | 01:43 |
| AMDfanboy | unop: USER in caps? | 01:43 |
| Leefmc | unop: So 6 is used? Interesting | 01:43 |
| dafydd | knopf, run from terminal? | 01:43 |
| unop | AMDfanboy, $USER as is .. yes, in CAPS with the preceding $ too | 01:43 |
| knopf_ | dafydd: yes | 01:43 |
| dafydd | hmm | 01:43 |
| jebblue | knopf try /var/log/mysql.log | 01:44 |
| jebblue | knopf or ask on a mysql site | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | AMDfanboy, $USER gets expaned to the current users name. try 'echo $USER' to see the effect. | 01:44 |
| danopia_ | hi | 01:44 |
| danopia_ | i was pinged? | 01:45 |
| knopf_ | jebblue: well, the logs are empty. everything worked until I used aptitude to uninstall mediawiki | 01:45 |

| keidori | i installed the madwifi driver for my aspire on a bareubuntu install and when i reboot i cant get my wireless back up and i did put the interface in the startup | 01:48 |
| keidori | any ideas | 01:48 |
| keidori | ? | 01:48 |
| unop | knopf_, you could also do this after that. sudo aptitude install -f | 01:48 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | unop, it seems that i the stuff ubottu said didn't help. Is there anyway to reset all gnome and xserver settings? | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | qoncept, try mounting the shares manually - not using the gnome file manager browsing - Ive seen issues with the gnome file manager befor | 01:48 |
| qoncept | i'm getting Connection to 192.168.1.1 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) | 01:49 |
| dafydd | this is strange, after I get into tty1 to try and kill gdm using ps -xwff | grep "gdm" I get a pid number for gdm but then when I type the same thing again I get a new pid number, so I can't kill gdm this way | 01:49 |
| dafydd | probably because it's constantly restarting itself | 01:49 |
| qoncept | the router doesn't have smbtree so i'm not sure the share is even working | 01:50 |
| unop | Kohlrak-Serve1, you could create a new home directory after backing up the current one .. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, its a service.. you use the service scripts to tell it to stop | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 01:50 |
| dafydd | ahh | 01:50 |
| dafydd | oops | 01:50 |
| unop | dafydd, killing gdm that way is asking for trouble. | 01:50 |
| === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 | ||
| Dr_willis | i wonderd where you got the gdm --k stuff from dafydd :) | 01:50 |
| dafydd | heh I'm a pretty major noob | 01:51 |
| dafydd | but startx is working now | 01:51 |
| dafydd | I can see my desktop | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | I thought if X/gdm started/crashed so many times in so many sec... that it would automatically 'stop' | 01:51 |
| knopf_ | unop: that did it | 01:51 |
| knopf_ | unop: you're my hero | 01:51 |
| dafydd | and now firefox is trying to load itself a lot | 01:51 |
| oem_ | anyone seen glitsj6 or 16 | 01:52 |

| keidori | what about the documentation? | 01:52 |
| dafydd | k so Dr_willis I made some progress! now I have a desktop and conky loaded, no gnome panel and no icons. I got this after I killed gdm and did startx | 01:53 |
| unop | dafydd, reinstall gdm perhaps to fix the issue. sudo aptitude reinstall gdm | 01:54 |

| cleidson | hum | 02:03 |
| unop | hitman1985, just navigate to ftp://url ? | 02:04 |
| mdkaneda55 | hitman1985: ftp://uname:pword@ftpserver.com:port | 02:04 |

| Dr_willis | dafydd, make a .xinitrc file that contains 2 lines.. 'gnome-session' and 'exec xterm' and try startx again :) you should get gnome | 02:05 |
| hitman1985 | mdkaneda55, i only want like one single folder :( | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | sacamano, in many ways i perfer 'DeVeDe' on linux to nero | 02:05 |
| dafydd | the .xinitrc file would go in my home folder right? /home/david | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, yes.. thers where most all .CONFIG files go | 02:06 |
| unop | Dr_willis, exec gnome-session should be enough .. as the script will fail if xterm is unavailable | 02:06 |
| hitman1985 | mdkaneda55, think that works over same skript ? | 02:06 |
| mdkaneda55 | hmm... like to give the info to someone else to see only whats in 1 folder, not the whole account? | 02:06 |
| unop | dafydd, right | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | unop, i forget.. xterm isent included by default? :) how.. annoying.. heh | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | unop, but if gnome-sessin fails at least he will see somthing on the screen. | 02:06 |
| cleidson | qual comando para atualizar o meu firefox | 02:07 |
| dafydd | alright, oh yeah dr_willis when I kill gdm and startx I can see the gnome panel flash briefly for a bit and then it just loads conky which doesn't flash | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | unop, of course Ive no idea why his gdm would be crashing :( thats the bigger issue. | 02:07 |
| unop | Dr_willis, errm, if you mean it will be spit out to the console, yes | 02:07 |
| dafydd | seems like it does the same sort of thin that gdm is doing | 02:07 |
| tragik | unop does this look right? UUID=322E10EE2E10AD3B /media/disk ntfs rw nosuid nodev noatime relatime user_id=0 group_id=0 allow_other 0 0 | 02:07 |

| unop | tragik, no .. options are to be delimited by commas i.e. rw,nosuid,nodev,etc | 02:08 |
| tragik | ah I see. thanks. other than that everything good unop? | 02:08 |

| tuchki | wdc, with alt F2 pidgin | 02:25 |
| hitman1985 | mdkaneda55, isnt there also some kinda application for that function, where i could make like a custom background and stuff ( just curious) | 02:25 |
| newman0708 | where can get the fetion plugin for pidgin? | 02:25 |

| Kohlrak-Serve1 | anyone know how to access the hardware drivers from a terminal window? | 02:27 |
| amit | hi there is no theme option in preferences | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, the binary is called jocky* or somthing weird like that. | 02:28 |
| qr_ | Kohlrak-Serve1: you can poke at them with modprobe if you're so inclined. | 02:28 |
| dafydd | qr_, I have no clue where in /dev the drive is that I just plugged in unfortunately | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, if you are refering to the restricted-special drivers for nvidia/ati and other things | 02:28 |
| adilson | how do i add icons to idesk? | 02:29 |
| hitman1985 | mdkaneda55, it works so far, but i can go to higher level (it just wont show anything) is that the way it should be ? | 02:29 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, not quite the command, but that is what i'm looking for (trying to get the fglrx driver to be used now that i have it in synaptic) | 02:29 |
| qr_ | dafydd: do 'dmesg | tail', it should tell you which device was just plugged in. | 02:29 |
| tuchki | wdc, do you think i need to make the process again? | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, you may want to read the idesk docs. I think theres some .config file you need to make. | 02:29 |
| mdkaneda55 | hitman1985: sounds ok, as for a background u'd have to make an html file or something, not sure if it would work on an ftp tho,, kinda dont think so... | 02:29 |
| lovinglinux | hi. I'm having problem with a faulty installation of lirc. The installation process gives an error during configuration and this is stopping other installations (Myth Control Center) that depends on it | 02:30 |
| newman0708 | where can i get the fetion plugin for pidgin? | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, installing from synaptic alwyas worked the same as if i used that tool.. for me at least. | 02:30 |
| amit | hi there is no theme option in preferences, anyone can help with that | 02:30 |
| hitman1985 | mdkaneda55, ftp://u46726012-public@team-served.com/public/ :) see if thats correct :_ | 02:30 |
| _paneb | does anyone know how i can tell easy_install to install to /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages instead of /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages? | 02:30 |
| adilson | Dr_willis: im reading the wiki apparently it doesnt generate the icons automatcally which is wha i need, I dont want to be making icons one by one :/ | 02:30 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis: then perhaps it doesn't know that my card works with the driver (vostro 1000) | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, it reads them from a config file.. frin what i read at http://linuxreviews.org/man/ideskrc/ | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, i gave up on ati. :) no idea on that bit. | 02:31 |
| soapman | does one 'have to install the jdk' by using Synaptic or apt-get? | 02:31 |
| Dr_willis | soapman, either way should work | 02:32 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis: well, considering that i have a laptop, giving up isn't so easy for me. | 02:32 |
| keidori | thanks for your help dr-willis | 02:32 |
| keidori | great read | 02:32 |
| soapman | i like downloading the jdk from Sun & using the 'bin' installer, but there seems to be a problem with Eclipse | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, the last laptop i got. i made SURE it had nvidia. :) that was #1 on my features list when i went to the store. Got a nice HP. with good linux support. | 02:33 |
| adilson | Dr_willis: yah i read that in their wiki apparently icons ae not auto generated even knowing they have a default icons files | 02:33 |
| cached | What's the standard chmod for files to be put on the web (say an image) ? | 02:33 |
| amit | any one can help me with my theme thing theres no theme option in preferences | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, if you are refering to the .desktop files - i dont know of any programs that do that. other then the kde/gnome file managers/desktops (perhaps xfce) | 02:34 |
| soapman | what I would like to do is have > 1 jdk version installed at '/opt/' & then have Eclipse installed at '/opt' also | 02:34 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, well, i moved to ubuntu after i got the laptop. Next time that's what i'll do. | 02:34 |
| Pici | amit: Preferences>Appearence | 02:34 |
| qr_ | cached: 444 probably isn't a bad bet, I don't know if it's "standard" though. | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, you could try changing 'fglrx' to 'ati' or even 'vesa' in the xorg.conf and see if it works. | 02:34 |
| adilson | Dr_willis: oh ok | 02:34 |
| * maurocs going to sleep | 02:35 | |
| Dr_willis | adilson, thats one of the big diffeacnes between those tools and kde/gnome. :) they just do icons on the desktop.. thats it. nothing fancy. well nothing real fancy | 02:35 |
| amit | how do i get new themes | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, i use rox file manager, and its pinboard feture for my minimal desktop icons | 02:35 |
| amit | thanks | 02:35 |
| soapman | i've set my JAVA_HOME & CLASSPATH, and tried starting eclipse, & the 'splash screen' comes up , but then goes away & another 'blank' window comes up (then nothing) | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, and no it dose not handle .desktop files either. that ive noticed. | 02:35 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, not sure that entry is even in xorg.conf, hense why i'm trying to find it | 02:36 |
| pedro | hey | 02:36 |
| pedro | im trying to find a image editor very simple for linux, just to edit some minor things | 02:36 |
| kcman1 | i have no audio on my vlc player | 02:36 |
| adilson | Dr_willis: ahhh this is becoming more work than i wanted "all i needed to do is set up a linux desktop environment the parents could use without any hassle" is that too much to ask... | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, well the new X sever stuff tries to auto configure a lot of things. You may want to remake a more normal xorg.conf | 02:36 |
| pedro | anyone knows something i could use? | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, and gnome dont count? or kde? or the xfce desktop? | 02:37 |
| qr_ | pedro: just use gimp, there's not really a lot of variety for image editors in linux. | 02:37 |
| l3d | is there a way to stop nautilus from opening up everytime i put a disk in? | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, i use icewm+rox file manager for the desktop/icons mainly | 02:37 |
| pedro | but doesn't gimp have a lot of options and stuff like photoshop? | 02:37 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, that's the thing i don't like about xserver now... Ever since the hardy upgrade i've had lots of problems with my graphics | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | l3d, yes. but i forget where the setting is hidden at. | 02:38 |
| orly_owl | how do you stop totem opening when you insert a dvd? | 02:38 |
| qr_ | pedro: yes, it does... that in no way stops you from doing simple things. | 02:38 |
| adilson | Dr_willis: ive goot xubuntu installed but on their account ive used icewm cause of the whole windows similarities but i need desktop icons until they get used to shortcuts etc | 02:38 |
| === lumbang is now known as bejo | ||
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, lots of people have had issues.. i started using my old xorg.conf :) | 02:38 |
| kcman1 | not only do i have no audio but i experience a huge delay in use of the program if i hit any part of it while something is playing any fixes? | 02:38 |
| pedro | i'll try it out quickly and see if i can use it | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, install rox-filer and run 'rox -p=default' to see its 'desktop' wich is actually a pinboard. its fairly handy. | 02:39 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, i just found something fancy and new, and if i'm lucky it did it right and the problem is gone, but this has just been a pain in my butt. All i did was "xfix" and then this whole problem started... a snowball effect kinda problem. And it hasn't been fun dealing with | 02:39 |
| pedro | i cant even find where im gonna draw | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | adilson, or set up xfce to look like windows i guess. :) | 02:39 |
| adilson | Dr_willis: the file manager im usig is thunar and gnome-commander i dont want any extra suff unless their isnt a way... I'll mess with his for a while and see what happens "xfce hangs on this pc, its ok for me but for them icewm is faster" | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, ive never seen this 'xfix' command. :) you are now the 2nd peson ive seen mention it. | 02:40 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, second option on the boot menu. | 02:40 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | the grub boot menu that is | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, not on mine. - may be a new feature in the 8.04.1 i guess? | 02:41 |
| corollax | Is it normal to for the system monitor to display two copies of "Xorg"? | 02:41 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | that'll take you to a recovery thing, and xfix is one of the commands | 02:41 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | dr_willis, it is. aren't you on hardy? | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, started on beta.. ane been upgrading for the last... err.. however long its been | 02:41 |
| dafydd | qr_, dmesg | tail is saying that it found a new usb-storage device at 6 | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, also i customized my grub menu to boot some other things. :) it may of decided to leave it alone. | 02:42 |
| red | is it kosher to have apostrophe's in email addresses? | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | red Hmm.. ive never seen one in them | 02:42 |
| yaris123456789 | hey guys what command do i run. (maybe grep? ) to find the user and group in httpd.conf ? | 02:43 |
| qr_ | dafydd: it doesn't tell you something like sda/sdb? If not I don't know what to tell you, try mounting different sda/sdb/sdc devices randomly? haha. | 02:43 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | Dr_willis, it's actually the recovery mode (sepearate from grub, but to see the mode you have to go to the second option in grub)... oh well. .. you're lucky, it's not worth going into. All it does is resets the xserver | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, i have a recovery mode that just goes to the single user shell. :) but i think i even hae that disabvled.. since i can always edit my grub and add 'single' to the end. | 02:43 |
| csyntax_ | Can i update the firmware on linux or do i need a mac or windows for this? | 02:44 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | dr_willis, why'd you disable it? | 02:44 |
| yaris123456789 | grep "group" httpd.conf doesn't return anything | 02:44 |
| csyntax_ | ? | 02:44 |
| arooni-mobile | how do i get python installed on ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, i had other grub entries for other things.. and i dident need extra 'recovery' entries for every kernel. | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | arooni-mobile, it should be allready installed | 02:45 |
| dafydd | "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7" "[ 1160.651788] sd 5:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through" | 02:45 |
| dafydd | is what I see from dmesg | tail | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, do dmesg | tail again . and it may state somthing else. | 02:45 |
| csyntax_ | anyone use iphone? | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, so the device is /dev/sda - filesystems will start at /dev/sda1 most likely | 02:46 |
| qr_ | dafydd: it says sda at the end there, try mounting /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 | 02:46 |
| qr_ | dafydd: sd means scsi device, sda is the first scsi device and sda1 is the first partition on the first scsi device, so one of those should probably work | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, 'sudo fdisk -l' should also now show the devices and filesystems on them | 02:47 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | note to self, nextime just re-install the darn graphics driver, saves all that trouble | 02:48 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | now i gotta reset all my icons and even some menues disappeared | 02:48 |
| Kohlrak-Serve1 | gonna come in on my laptop | 02:49 |
| dafydd | Dr_willis, doing that command says that /dev/hda1 is an extended filesystem | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | Kohlrak-Serve1, menus? heh - those shouldent affect menus | 02:49 |
| sergio | is there any linux program or application I can program to send and receive mails with an attached text file???? | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, yes.. it proberly is. :) extended partition, | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | odd that its not a primary | 02:49 |
| kcman1 | i am having some vlc troubles anyone know audio fixes | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | dafydd, but hda1 is NOT the same as 'sda1' | 02:49 |
| dafydd | oh wait, duhh, it's at /dev/sda1 | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | hda - used to be for the ide drives.. but often ide drives also show up as 'sd#' now a days | 02:50 |
| RequinB4 | apparently i need virtualbox-ose-modules-generic but all it does is depend on something that won't install that won't install directly because it depends on something else that doesn't existg | 02:50 |
| dafydd | YESS SUCESS thanks qr and Dr_willis | 02:50 |
| qr_ | dafydd: cheers! | 02:50 |
| dafydd | well thanks for all the help everybody, I'm going to reinstall now with the currect version of ubuntu, the 64 bit | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | RequinB4, id heard those were beign worked on.. not sure what/why theres a delay | 02:51 |
| destry | I installed the xubuntu-desktop and I rebooted and still have the gnome desktop, but when I go to login it says xubuntu.. Why is this? :-\ | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | bye all . work time | 02:51 |
| newpers | omg... mercurial is now on 1.0.2 and hardy is still using 0.9.5 | 02:52 |
| qr_ | destry: at the login screen there's a button in the lower left corner to change session. Change to xubuntu and it will show xfce when you log in. | 02:52 |
| perillux | would anyone please be able to assist me in getting suspend OR hibernate to work in Hardy on my laptop? | 02:52 |
| newpers | 1.0 was release 3/2008 | 02:52 |
| onthefence928 | every now and then the router at my house likes to kick my computer off the internet sometimes, and sometimes it just won't show up in my list of wireless networks. it usually happens after someone uses a lot of bandwidth, but then it's impossible to get the connection back without restarting my computer or restarting teh router or both. my roommate both use vista and they connect right away and i'm stuck staring at firefox error pages. | 02:52 |
| jejones__ | My computer is no longer connecting to the network. I've swapped cables and tried a Live CD, with no change. Other computers on the LAN can connect. The LED for the on-mobo ethernet (which I'm trying to use, which worked until this evening, and which is enabled in BIOS) LED lights up when connected, and system log shows it sees when I connect and disconnect the cable from the switch. Is there something else I can try before concluding | 02:53 |
| jejones__ | the on-mobo ethernet is hosed and buying an ethernet card for it? | 02:53 |
| destry | qr_ thank you very much didn't know that. | 02:53 |
| === PrivateVoid is now known as PV_Away | ||
| qr_ | jejones__: have you checked your routing tables? ( 'route' in a terminal) there should be a 'default' entry with the ip address if your router. | 02:55 |

| jvargas_ | hi | 02:55 |
| jvargas_ | what is the app that allows me to run a desktop application as root? | 02:56 |
| unop | jvargas_, gksu or gksudo | 02:56 |
| jvargas_ | like the one used by synaptics to ask my pass | 02:56 |
| jvargas_ | o | 02:56 |
| jvargas_ | k | 02:56 |
| onthefence928 | jvargas: be VERY careful | 02:56 |
| jvargas_ | cool :) | 02:56 |
| jejones__ | qr_: tried it; no entries whatsoever. | 02:57 |
| jvargas_ | dont worry, ill used it to run my virtual machines | 02:57 |
| qr_ | jejones__: connect all the wires and run 'sudo route add default gw your.router.ip.address' and then see if that helps. | 02:57 |
| qr_ | jejones__: also make sure you have an ip address before you run route ( ie run sudo dhclient yournetworkdevice ) | 02:58 |

| meteoroid | ShujinT: explain more, please.. | 03:01 |
| godzirra | Hi folks. I'm trying to get my realtek 8101 wireless card working in linux and I cant seem to get it detected. lspci finds it, but it doesnt show up in iwconfig or ifconfig. | 03:01 |
| meteoroid | i'll do what i can.. | 03:01 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, lshw -C network pastebin it | 03:02 |
| meteoroid | Mr_Fixit: not sure, read the docs, perhaps? | 03:02 |
| mikeb55 | Anyone know off hand if I can request the size of a file, before I was to download it? would wget do this possible? | 03:02 |
| D0c5i5 | iwl4965 | 03:02 |
| Mr_Fixit | yea... thought a fast answer may exist here.... thanks anyways meteoroid | 03:02 |
| kitche | godzirra: so ifconfig -a shows nothing like wlan0 or ethX well eth0 will most likely be your ethernet if you have ethernet | 03:02 |
| ozzloy | my upgrade to 8.04 has been stuck for 2 hours now. can someone help me troubleshoot? | 03:02 |
| jejones__ | qr_: sudo dhclient eth0 seems to have done the trick... which leaves the question of why that is either not being run or is failing at startup time. Where does that normally happen? | 03:02 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, lshw -C network pastebin it please | 03:02 |
| ShujinT | meteroid - Thank you. I occationally have a hard-lockup problem under 7.10. I'm fairly certain it's not an IRQ Conflict / system dualboots Win2k no problem. I think the prob is with the sound system... but I don;t know where to start looking or if I should rip out all the ALSO / OSS stuff and reboot / redetect. | 03:03 |

| lwizardl | does RS232 to USB adapters work properly under Ubuntu (ie RS232 Serial -> USB port) | 03:03 |
| qr_ | jejones__: I don't know why it wouldn't be run automaitcally. That command basically tells your computer to request an IP address, so it makes sense that you couldn't connect without it being run. | 03:03 |

| kc8pxy | in my native distro , i always have the kernel headers if i have a kernel installed.. what is the headers package for the 8.04.1 server kernel headers? | 03:04 |
| meteoroid | ShujinT: you may also consider that the linux kernel sometimes has issues with bad memory that windows accepts, though i think the adoption of the NT kernel has reduced, though not eliminated, this dynamic.. | 03:04 |
| meteoroid | as for sound, well, if you can remove something to see if it's the root of the problem, i suggest doing so.. | 03:04 |
| jejones__ | qr_: OK. I will pursue that question via Google now that I can. Thanks very much for your help. | 03:04 |
| meteoroid | or is it only when using sound? | 03:04 |
| Pici | ajhtiredwolf: You may want to check out #tor, if its already installed and you just need help configuring it or getting it to work. | 03:04 |
| nDuff | lwizardl, those have been supported in the meanline kernel for a very long time | 03:04 |
| nDuff | lwizardl, so I'd be shocked if they didn't. | 03:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | marko-_-, I dont think it is a problem with firefox 3, when starting vidalia, it says " tor is starting up" but hangs there | 03:05 |
| qr_ | jejones__: did you plug in your ethernet after starting the computer? I've never had any luck with dhclient being run automatically unless I had /etc/network/interfaces set up correctly and everything plugged in on boot. | 03:05 |

| ajhtiredwolf | Pici, alrighty | 03:05 |
| ShujinT | meteoroid - Possible.. however I'm not leaning that way yet. I'll run MemCheck overnight tonight to be sure... but would it account for the system locking up hard - unable to be reset / woken up even with a 'SysReq' function? | 03:06 |

| koshar1 | !scrollkeeper | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about scrollkeeper | 03:06 |
| nDuff | lwizardl, "make menuconfig" in the kernel-sources; there's a whole section listing which of those devices it's compatible with. | 03:06 |

| dougan | Hey I just installed ubuntu and xchat and seem to be having problems accepting DCC file transfers. Any ideas? | 03:08 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, and your ap, is it encrypted with wep. wpa? what? | 03:08 |
| mikeb55 | Anyone know how I would do a head request with wget, and not have it download the file? | 03:08 |
| D0c5i5 | SeaPhor: wpa | 03:08 |
| nDuff | mikeb55, personally, I find that easier with curl than wget; you can use -X to tell it the request type | 03:08 |
| ShujinT | meteoroid - (*Chuckle*) Yes, well.. point there. That'll be damned annoying then.... Alright. I'll go looking there. To be safe, though, if there's a conflict in the sound system, though.. might that cause the same thing, would you think? (Sorry.. been a LONG time since I dealt with a HARD-lock like this.) | 03:08 |
| qr_ | mikeb55: read man wget... if it's possible then man wget will tell you. | 03:08 |
| mikeb55 | qr_: couldn't find it.. | 03:08 |
| meteoroid | irq conflicts can also cause all sorts of problems.. | 03:08 |
| mikeb55 | yah I will use curl | 03:08 |
| qr_ | mikeb55: then it's probably not possible. | 03:08 |
| godzirra | kitche: any ideas? | 03:08 |
| meteoroid | i haven't resolved one on a gnu/linux system for some time | 03:08 |
| nDuff | mikeb55, also, curl has a --head | 03:09 |
| meteoroid | can you remove the sound card, or is it onboard? what do you think it may be conflicting with? | 03:09 |
| meteoroid | have you looked in /proc and with various tools at irq usage at runtime? | 03:09 |

| chaosrl | does anyone know the difference between full-input and half-input mode in scim? | 03:13 |
| ShujinT | meteoroid - True.. as I'm doing the DJ thing in SecondLife, I'll occationally get scratchy sounds, little glitches in the sound... sometimes it'll lock, sometimes not... I followed the suggestions regarding IDJC's use and popped in the realtime kernel... but it happened in a passive overnight(burnin) test too | 03:13 |
| D0c5i5 | SeaPhor: yes... but only if i go in that sequence... i have to switch it back and forth from manual to roaming then i can set it manually | 03:13 |
| Quiescent | my bookmarks are gone, can't view history, when i load a page and then click a link it doesn't update the address bar | 03:13 |
| Quiescent | clicking on external links doesn't work | 03:13 |
| D0c5i5 | if i set it manually and reboot, it does not work after a reboot until i set roaming then re-set manual | 03:13 |
| D0c5i5 | it transmits/receives packets, according to ifconfig, but it cannot get an IP address via dhcp, and cannot ping/browse/etc if i set the IP manually | 03:14 |
| ShujinT | meteoroid - Huh! I see both the sound and ethernet on the same IRQ - 18...Odd | 03:14 |
| D0c5i5 | but if i follow that sequence, then i am able to dhcp/ping/browse/etc | 03:14 |

| luckyone | hello all, quick question about samba shares | 03:19 |
| godzirra | After installing the ATI driver now, after I login I get a white screen with my mouse cursor too. :/ | 03:19 |
| dafydd | kitche: ahh ok. Any other reasons for using the x86_64 architecture? | 03:19 |
| kitche | dafydd: well if you have 4gigs of ram | 03:19 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, ok, here is the problem,,, your interfaces file sees the name wlan0 and your hardware is called wmaster0... | 03:19 |
| wnstn | dafydd: the biggest pain is you may have to compile from source a lot. I know I do. | 03:19 |
| luckyone | I have set up a samba share on my ubuntu server. My windows pc can connect to it just fine. However, my ubuntu desktop can't seem to connect/mount it | 03:19 |
| dafydd | kitche: I guess I better stick with the x86, I only have about 2 gigs of ram | 03:20 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, and this is beyond me at this point i have suggestion on what i would do but it may make matters worse,,, | 03:21 |

| SeaPhor | tj83, D0c5i5 , 172.16.x.x are common with some dhcp routers | 03:41 |
| D0c5i5 | yea, my network here is 172.16.55.x for VPN reasons | 03:42 |
| tj83 | SeaPhor, ok, just havent experienced that before. | 03:42 |
| D0c5i5 | PtP VPM router | 03:42 |
| Paro[Away] | geek_: remember that CPU time is controlled by the scheduler; if you had nothing else running while you used apt the first time, apt would've gotten all the cpu time it wanted. if later on other applications were running, apt wouldn't have gotten such a large share of cpu time between top polls | 03:42 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, which is your ap tho,,, ESSID:"Buckinutz" or ESSID:"NG-J1" ? | 03:42 |

| tj83 | D0c5i5, if you dhclient wlan0 does it give you a new IP? renew the same one? from what address did the offer come from? can you ping that address? | 03:48 |
| Paro[Away] | geek_: that's the key; if apt is one of the only running processes and it's nicety is higher than the other active procs, it will get massive amounts of CPU% because the scheduler awards it that | 03:48 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, absolutely, always | 03:48 |
| SeaPhor | D0c5i5, i always recommend that if wireless dont work on install, hard-line it to get all updates | 03:49 |

| Paro[Away] | geek_: for example, right now my FaHCore.exe is consuming 99.8% of my gateway's cpu time. It's nicety, however is 19, so if anything else runs, the scheduler will prfer the new task over fahcore | 03:49 |

| === amal029 is now known as green_and_high_o | ||
| Paro[Away] | geek_: if the settings are identical (which that can sometimes be hard to determine) the discrepancy can be chalked up to the type of operation apt is completing. Certain packages (especially large ones) require heavier computational demands than others | 03:50 |

| Paro[Away] | geek_: if you were writing an application that was going to take a long time and consume a lot of resources, would you nice it so that it consumes all the machine's time, or would you make it a polite app that uses cpu time only when other, more important (user) apps are running? | 03:51 |
| Paro[Away] | err, 'that uses cpu time only when other more impt apps offer it up' | 03:51 |
| Paro[Away] | I can think!! *durrr* | 03:51 |
| geek_ | Paro[Away]: erm.. like i said. same system, uses less CPU time across the board... after a day | 03:52 |
| geek_ | apt was an example. xorg is using 10% as opposed to 20% ... | 03:52 |
| D0c5i5 | tj83: gives me the same ip (renew), 172.16.55.20, yes i can ping it... everything works great if I do that toggle back and forth from manual to roaming and back to manual (except i can access the configuration in the gui) | 03:52 |

| Paro[Away] | geek_: it's hard to say without looking at your process environment. you could also chalk it up to the processes setting themselves up and asserting themselves on first run... | 03:53 |
| Prikolchik | D0c5i5, or look in System -> Update manager | 03:53 |
| geek_ | Paro[Away]: hmm, *that* makes sense | 03:54 |
| Paro[Away] | geek_: but it really just sounds like there are more active processes later on and so each individual process's share of the total cpu time is reduced | 03:54 |
| geek_ | Paro[Away]: naw, they really are behaving a lot better in general | 03:54 |
| Paro[Away] | geek_: i'm not sure what time frame you monitored these processes over, but they do tend to vary greatly with time | 03:54 |
| tj83 | D0c5i5, /join #SeaPhor | 03:54 |
| geek_ | Paro[Away]: 2 hours, got fed up.. came back and everything worked better the next morning ;p | 03:55 |
| Paro[Away] | geek_: if it's an issue that goes away with time (though a day seems a bit long...) then it's likely just the processes setting themselves up | 03:55 |
| Paro[Away] | lol | 03:55 |
| Paro[Away] | how peculiar o.o | 03:55 |
| geek_ | VERY | 03:55 |
| === talcite_ is now known as Talcite | ||
| Prikolchik | geek_, spent 1 day fixing wireless... next day it just worked right away... | 03:55 |
| geek_ | Prikolchik: i hate that. i want to understand ;p | 03:56 |
| === Talcite is now known as talcite | ||
| Paro[Away] | geek_: how many active processes did you have the first time compared with the second time? i wonder if it wasn't just some of the daemons settling down | 03:56 |
| geek_ | Paro[Away]: can't remember unfortunately... | 03:56 |
| Supercom32 | Does anyone know what the /data folder is used for? | 03:56 |
| geek_ | but yeah, that makes sense to me | 03:56 |
| Kohlrak | You know, i could sit here and disable every special graphics feature of compiz here, and my screensaver will still flicker. Any idea why (as no matter what i enable or disable, the screen saver still flickers)? | 03:56 |
| roboton | hi, any idea why whatś need for my keyboard to do the default when press Shift+¨ combo | 03:57 |
| seekingtruth | hello sinners | 03:57 |
| Prikolchik | Supercom32, are u Dual Booting with windows? | 03:57 |
| Madpilot | roboton, hit the spacebar after shift+" | 03:57 |
| roboton | currently whenever I need to do it I takes two press on ¨ char before it appears | 03:57 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: which screensaver? all of them? | 03:57 |
| Supercom32 | priprikolchik: Nope. | 03:57 |
| Kohlrak | Paro, yulp... | 03:57 |
| Madpilot | roboton, or switch from us-intl to another keyboard mapping | 03:58 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: which window manager are you using? | 03:58 |
| Kohlrak | paro: well, that is of the ones that even work (some dont' anymore) | 03:58 |
| Supercom32 | Prikolchik: I'm just did a fresh install. | 03:58 |
| Paro[Away] | which ones don't work? | 03:58 |
| seekingtruth | good news eh? new ubuntu :-) | 03:58 |
| roboton | Madpilot: I´ll try thanks | 03:58 |
| Paro[Away] | and when did they stop working? | 03:58 |
| Prikolchik | Supercom32, never mind then... It was disk D mounted automatically for me to /data | 03:58 |
| Kohlrak | Paro: come again? Gnome is the only window manager thing that i can think of you might be referring to | 03:58 |
| Kohlrak | paro: the ones that stopped working happened a long time ago when i upgraded to hardy | 03:58 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: yeah, that's what i meant :) you could've been using KDE, xfce, fluxbox, etc. instead of gnome | 03:59 |
| Supercom32 | Prikolchik: Well root created my /data folder so I assume its important but its emply. | 03:59 |
| Prikolchik | Supercom32, i've got no idea... I've used linux for like 2 days | 03:59 |
| Kohlrak | so any ideas Paro[Away]? | 03:59 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: graphics specs for your machine? | 03:59 |
| Joeseph | I am attempting to use my windows printer with ubuntu. I already am using shared folders on the vista computer, so I do have the network configured at least mostly correct. When I try to add the printer to my network though, through the admin->Printing, I can see the computer, but not the printer. | 04:00 |
| Joeseph | I had the same problem with the folders, which I could not see, but I could type in the full path and access them. However, the smb:// line for a printer is a bit complicated. | 04:00 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: can't remember the specific card. It's an ati thing (on a laptop bug plugged into a wall), but i don't think it's the card since enabling the rain and fire and other fancy features don't increase the flicker any. | 04:00 |
| XX01XX | Anyone have any experience with Wubi installs gone awry? | 04:01 |
| Joeseph | So, I guess I have two either or questions: How do I fill in a 'smb://' line for a windows printer OR how do I make the printer visible to my ubuntu machine. The printer is connected to a vista computer, and other computers (my vista laptop) can print off it. | 04:02 |
| Flannel | !printer | Joeseph | 04:02 |
| ubottu | Joeseph: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 04:02 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: in all likelihood the flickering is caused by the ati 'radeon' set of drivers | 04:02 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: these are the open-source drivers released by ATI and regrettably they suck terribly. | 04:03 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: what i'd recommend is switching over to the proprietary (closed-source) fglrx drivers to solve the problem :S | 04:03 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: is fglrx amoung the radeon drivers? | 04:03 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: it's not the best solution (since open source is awesome) but if it solves your problem for now... | 04:04 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: go into Settings>Administration>Restricted drivers manager; is there a thing there for the ATI drivers? | 04:04 |
| Supercom32 | Generally for ubuntu, what folder to people usually use to store swap files in? | 04:04 |
| Supercom32 | root? | 04:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | Paro[Away]: fglrx should be offered there just like nVidia and everything else | 04:04 |
| danbhfive | Supercom32: what are swap files? | 04:05 |
| Omoikane | I just got a bamboo tablet today and was wondering if I could get it to work in Ubuntu. | 04:05 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: I think i'm already using the fglrx drivers (though the driver sucking makes sense). I think it's horribly coded, and the restricted drivers manager doesn't show up anymroe | 04:05 |
| Kohlrak | Never mind, there it is | 04:05 |
| Paro[Away] | LSD|Ninja: wanted to check if he had a supported radeon card (card<RV250 -> no fglrx) | 04:05 |
| daviduxe | Does anyone here use a thinkpad (t43?) or a computer that uses atheros for wifi? | 04:05 |
| jordo2323_ | Has anyone had any luck installing a LINKSYS WIRELESS USB ADAPTER to Ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | Paro[Away]: <R250 you don't need it | 04:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: I do | 04:06 |
| geek_ | jordo2323_: just works for me | 04:06 |
| Paro[Away] | LSD|Ninja: exactly; so it would be a fruitless avenue to pursue if that were the case ^.^ | 04:06 |
| geek_ | daviduxe: yes to the former. the thinkwiki would be of some help i think | 04:06 |
| Kohlrak | Yea, Paro[Away], it's gotta be horrible coding on their part, because i already am on the proprietary drivers (who'd want open source drivers anyway unless you plan on making your own kernel?) | 04:06 |
| jordo2323_ | geek_: Not so much for me....I originally got it to see the wireless hub, but it won't connect | 04:06 |
| daviduxe | geek_: thanks! | 04:07 |
| geek_ | jordo2323_: what kinda encryption? | 04:07 |
| nat1 | yo dudes! sup! | 04:07 |
| jordo2323_ | geek_: wep 64-bit | 04:07 |
| geek_ | daviduxe: np. that site is VERY useful for any thinkpad/linux user | 04:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: what is the specific trpouble you're having? | 04:07 |
| `101gfx | How do I shut down an XP comp from a hardy comp over lan? | 04:07 |
| jordo2323_ | geek_: Did you have to use ndiswrapper? | 04:07 |
| nat1 | whats the plugin that when i bring a window to the front the windows move out of the way? | 04:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | `101gfx: remote desktop | 04:07 |
| geek_ | jordo2323_:no | 04:08 |
| PokerFace | is it easy to install ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| geek_ | i use wpa/wpa2 though | 04:08 |
| `101gfx | LSD|Ninja, can it be done through terminal? | 04:08 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: open source drivers aren't necessarily user-made; it'd just be nice if all the code that makes our graphics cards go was exposed to us :) | 04:08 |
| guesswho | PokerFace; yes | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | PokerFace: as easy as windows | 04:08 |
| Flannel | Supercom32: /mnt/blah.swap I guess. Thats what the wiki uses (/mnt/512MB.swap) | 04:08 |
| Flannel | Supercom32: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 04:08 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: so you're already using fglrx; what's the output of fglrxinfo? | 04:08 |
| jordo2323_ | geek_: how can I tell if the usb adapter is installed correctly? | 04:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | `101gfx: It can, if Windows offered a remote text terminal service that you would actually want enabled | 04:08 |
| PokerFace | oohh... il try to install it whenever my extra HD arrives.... | 04:08 |
| PokerFace | :D | 04:08 |
| PokerFace | soo that i can explore new more things..:D | 04:09 |
| l3d | man ayttm wont update and I cant get it to work | 04:09 |
| PokerFace | coz im using windows ayt now. | 04:09 |
| guesswho | PokerFace; ubuntu is 10x better then windows | 04:09 |
| Paro[Away] | PokerFace: ubuntu install is stupid simple | 04:09 |
| geek_ | jordo2323_: hmm.. lsusb i guess | 04:09 |
| geek_ | jordo2323_: if it sees the AP and won't connect, messing with the type of wep key might help though | 04:10 |
| nat1 | whats the plugin that when i bring a window to the front the windows move out of the way? | 04:10 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40325/ | 04:10 |
| daviduxe | lsd|ninja: sadly i am unable to use wifi, i can use a LAN cable though. could we maybe chat in a pm? | 04:10 |
| PokerFace | yeah2. i know. my cousin told me. but im afraid that some of my softwares might not run in ubuntu | 04:10 |
| geek_ | PokerFace: you can use wubi as a nice easy way to try ubuntu in the meanwhile actually | 04:10 |
| PokerFace | wubi? just like VMware? | 04:10 |
| robert__ | or do like me and just repartion your windows drive and do dual boot | 04:10 |
| geek_ | it installs and uninstalls from windows, needs to repartitioning, and works decently with a few craveats | 04:10 |
| === robert__ is now known as Cyberfunk | ||
| geek_ | PokerFace: its a full install hosted on a disk image... | 04:11 |
| PokerFace | i really dont understand dude. | 04:11 |
| PokerFace | -->rookie. | 04:11 |
| PokerFace | :( | 04:11 |
| master_ | hi | 04:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: What specific Atheros chip do you have in there (lspci | grep Ethernet)? The version of madwifi in Hardy covers most of the b/g Atheros chips but some of the newer ones (in particular the ones that are n-capable) may not be supported by that version. They are supported in later versions though and that's where things get tricky | 04:12 |
| PokerFace | <geek_> PokerFace: its a full install hosted on a disk image... -> what do you really mean at dude? | 04:12 |
| geek_ | PokerFace: basically instead of partitioning your disk, ubuntu runs off a file in your hard drive. it does boot like a normal OS though | 04:12 |
| roboton | Madpilot: I already set my keyboard layout to USA-MAC still same thing | 04:12 |
| master_ | ı need for ubuntu 8.04 vdr | 04:12 |
| Madpilot | roboton, odd. I've gotten used to us-intl, myself, but it does take some adjustment. | 04:12 |
| PokerFace | il try to gather some info about ubuntu...BRB | 04:13 |
| Kohlrak | Pokerface: basically, your computer runs something called an OS. It's a program that runs other programs within it (IE: windows, ubuntu, mac). Ubuntu can co-exist with windows if yu need it to. | 04:13 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: can i also get the output of 'lspci | grep ATI'? | 04:13 |
| Madpilot | roboton, try the Generic 104-key layout | 04:14 |
| roboton | Madpilot: got it keyboard model is dell 101 PC + mac layout | 04:14 |
| roboton | Madpilot: now I can type " as usual, thanks a lot | 04:14 |
| master_ | pls help me for vdr | 04:14 |
| Madpilot | roboton, no problem. | 04:14 |
| Madpilot | glad you got it sorted | 04:14 |
| arooni | http://www.burningangel.com/media/trailers/mayhem_ja_jd_bgg_trailer_ba_high.wmv | 04:14 |
| XX01XX | wubi seems to be working fine up to a point... and then the screen goes black and stays that way. | 04:14 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40327/ Are you looking for anything specific? | 04:15 |
| PokerFace | what are the system requirements of ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| Lyk4n8rwp0S | Hello, question : Can somebody please tell me how can I see what kernel modules I am loading during start-up (Ι have used lsmod) and how can I find their loading times? Thank you! | 04:15 |
| Kohlrak | I will say that one entry is odd, though, Paro... Why is ati my audio device when it's clearly something else? | 04:15 |
| Kohlrak | Pokerface: i'll tell you if your computer can use ubuntu or not. What version of windows are you running? | 04:16 |
| master_ | ı need vdr for ubuntu 8.04 | 04:16 |
| Madpilot | PokerFace, fairly low. Lower than needed to run XP well. | 04:16 |
| daviduxe | LSD|Ninja: err not sure, in winXP device manager it says 11a/b/g Wireless Lan Mini PCI Adapter; and Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet | 04:16 |
| PokerFace | XP. Windows XP | 04:16 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: sorry, just trying to get a better picture of your machine ^.^; | 04:16 |
| PokerFace | i have a 512 + 256 RAM | 04:16 |
| Madpilot | PokerFace, you'll have no problem with Ubuntu, likely. | 04:17 |
| Kohlrak | It's ok Paro[Away], if you can find something it's welcomed | 04:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: Oh, Broadcom. That's an entirely different kettle of fish | 04:17 |
| PokerFace | and my VCARD is very low. TNT Vcard. it has 256 | 04:17 |
| Kohlrak | PokerFace: my computer was a windows xp. As long as you have at least 4 gigs of free space left over, you're fine. | 04:17 |
| Joeseph | When I connect to my Vista computer over my network, I can see the computer, but I have to manually enter the name of a folder to see anything inside the computer. This was not a problem until trying to set up my printer. How can I either set up my printer manually or make the printer appear? | 04:17 |
| Kohlrak | PokerFace: Ubuntu is notorious for running faster than windows despite being heavier loaded on graphics. | 04:17 |
| PokerFace | Kohlrak: how can i use dual OS? | 04:18 |
| _spm_Draget | I am dualbooting with windows and my ubuntu time is 4 hours off. Where do I set ubuntu to use the local time instead? | 04:18 |
| Joeseph | I really need to know what port to use. | 04:18 |
| Kohlrak | PokerFace: It's the default operation to dual boot | 04:18 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, dualboot | PokerFace | 04:18 |
| ubottu | PokerFace: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 04:18 |
| PokerFace | oh. where can i set it then? | 04:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: install b43-fwcutter over your wired connection and then the Broadcom driver should become avaialble in the usual Hardware panel | 04:18 |
| daviduxe | LSD|Ninja uh oh. But i still have an atheros chip, right? The "manufacturer" for the 11a/b/g Wireless Lan Mini PCI Adapter under the device manager says Atheros communications, inc. | 04:18 |
| PokerFace | i have my extra HD here. i put it in SLAVE | 04:18 |
| _spm_Draget | In some config file I can set it to use the localtime instead of CET or something like this. Where I can fix this when dualbooting with windows? | 04:19 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: hmmm... *thinks* i hate graphics drivers under linux T.T the second most complicated piece of user-programmable HW in the machine and you can't control it properly >.< | 04:19 |
| Kohlrak | PokerFace: Basically, you're gonna have to make the ubuntu cd with a cd burner (there are instructions online). The rest is pretty straight forward | 04:19 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: I assume using the open source 'ati' driver didn't work out so well? with the X300-like card in your laptop, there should be 3d acceleration with that driver | 04:19 |
| PokerFace | Can i run some softwares here in ubuntu that came from windows originally? | 04:19 |
| PokerFace | Can i run some softwares here in ubuntu that came from windows originally? | 04:20 |
| usser | PokerFace, yes certain software, go to appdb.winehq.org for the list | 04:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: what does lspci say the card is? Make sure your system is as up to date as it can be before you try so you can ensure the pci ids are up to date | 04:20 |
| _spm_Draget | Nobody? | 04:20 |
| pookmu | PokerFace in wine. | 04:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: last I checked, Broadcom and Atheros were two seperate and competing companies | 04:20 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: Hardware drivers in linux are the cause of most problems i've seen in here. I never tried the open source driver, but i figured it wouldn't work with me so i didn't try it. | 04:20 |
| PokerFace | sooo can you share some softwares whenever i've done installing ubuntu?.. | 04:20 |
| phantomcircuit | Paro[Away], it has more to do with the hardware manufacturers being assholes and less to do with linux | 04:20 |
| Kohlrak | Pokerface: Also, you can install windows in "Vmware" | 04:20 |
| Joeseph | The instruction line for the smb:// printer is a bit ambiguous. Could somone tell me what to put in for the supposed setup of "smb://[workgrou/]server[:port]/printer" | 04:21 |
| pookmu | PokerFace no need to pirate software, its free | 04:21 |
| usser | PokerFace, we cant share softwares unless they are oss | 04:21 |
| legend2440 | _spm_Draget: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6285 | 04:21 |
| daviduxe | LSD|Ninja: awesome thanks for the advice! one thing i should note, I can see all the wireless networks in range, including my own, but when i type in the password (and i'm almost certain it's wep 64bit ASCII, open whatever) it just tries to connect for a while and then just fails | 04:21 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: Give it a try ^.^ the open soruce driver was created and released by ATI, just with all the code visible to developers. Graphics companies are very loathe to open their drivers because it gives significant information about the card's internal hardware | 04:21 |
| PokerFace | Umware? | 04:21 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: the time will come though; the open source drivers are maturing steadily and are already in some ways better than the proprietary drivers for the new cards | 04:21 |
| Joeseph | I'm not really sure what the brackets mean. Optional? do I actually need them in brackets? | 04:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | daviduxe: Oh, if you can see andat least begin to connect then that means everythign is working on the driver front | 04:22 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: i guess it couldn't hurt... But how would i go about accomplishing this? | 04:22 |
| guesswho | pokerface; why use wine? set up a windows virtualbox | 04:22 |
| daviduxe | LSD|Ninja: yeah hmm. | 04:22 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: go into the restricted drivers manager again, uncheck fglrx, save and restart | 04:22 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: wouldn't that just put me back in VESA? | 04:23 |
| usser | guesswho, well wine is for the games | 04:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: not originally | 04:23 |
| Joeseph | sorry, I think I'm asking a pretty straightforward question. Could anyone help me out on getting my windows printer to work? I just need clarification. google is not being very informative. | 04:24 |
| guesswho | usser; i see.. but i heard wine makes security no good for your system, virtual box could do the same thing and safer | 04:24 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: do you mean back to a text interface? no. it should default back to the ati set of drivers (that's how it's worked for me in the past...) | 04:24 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: Is the printer you're trying to connect to supported by Windows drivers? | 04:24 |
| greendot | so my friend is installing Ubuntu and he keeps getting an ata revalidation error when trying to install, and he also gets a green screen if it finally boots up. what do we do about this issue? | 04:24 |
| LSD|Ninja | Linux drivers, sorry | 04:24 |
| PokerFace | http://appdb.winehq.org/ -> is this site for downloadable games in ubuntu? | 04:24 |
| guesswho | Joeseph; goto a windows irc server, this is ubuntu support | 04:24 |
| jordo2323 | geek_: I got connected, but only with encryption off....how do you set the encryption through the command line? | 04:24 |
| Joeseph | guesswho: it's not a windows question. It's a very ubuntu question. | 04:25 |
| HolyRoses | anyone here want my handheld video encoder? encodes for ipod, iphone, ipod touch, zune, psp. uses ffmpeg and perl. can dcc if you want it. | 04:25 |
| jordo2323 | geek_: in other words, how do I connect to an encrypted network through the command line... :) | 04:25 |
| daviduxe | LSD|Ninja: should i reboot into ubuntu so i can show you the lspci readout? | 04:25 |
| usser | guesswho, yes wine does allow to run some viruses, but its pretty well sandboxed the most damage they can do is destroy your home directory | 04:25 |
| Kohlrak | Para[Away]: I mean what i used before the proprietary driver (VESA Mode, which means it's a standard graphics driver that all video cards follow) | 04:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: Does the printer you're trying to connect to have Linux drivers available? | 04:25 |
| geek_ | jordo2323: no idea, i use network manager and its front ends ;p | 04:25 |
| Joeseph | LSD|Ninja: I do not know. I will search and see. I just figured I would be able to at least see it. just a minute then..... | 04:26 |
| greendot | my friend is installing Ubuntu and he keeps getting an ata revalidation error when trying to install, and he also gets a green screen if it finally boots up. what do we do about this issue? | 04:26 |
| guesswho | usser; but a virtual box is safer right? | 04:26 |
| jordo2323 | geek_: so do I, but for some reason the wireless functions of network manager does not work....I can still connect to an unprotected network by doing sudo dhclient though... | 04:26 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: you're sure it wasn't the mesa driver? | 04:26 |
| jordo2323 | For anyone.....how do you connect to a WEP encrypted wireless network using the command line? | 04:27 |
| usser | guesswho, yes. it is. just make sure you backup your VM regularly | 04:27 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]: Could've been that too... They're both pretty much the same thing. | 04:27 |
| yuri_ | my h.264 playback is choppy in all video players... how do i fix this? | 04:27 |
| Joeseph | LSD|Ninja: On linuxprinting.org, it shows my printer as working 'perfectly' with the suggested 'hpijs' driver. Will I have to install it manually? I figured It would ask me for a driver once I found it. | 04:27 |
| rpm | hi Yuri | 04:28 |
| rpm | konnichiwa | 04:28 |
| guesswho | usser; yeah or you can run it directly from an iso right? so everytime it boots from a iso OS image? | 04:28 |
| usser | Joeseph, if your printer is hp your golden | 04:28 |
| usser | Joeseph, go to system->administration->printing add it find your model etc it'll work flawlessly | 04:29 |
| _spm_Draget | How do I install a specifig version of something? Like gcc-3.3 or qt4? | 04:29 |
| _spm_Draget | With aptitude | 04:29 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: Check synaptic, it might be installed already. You should be able to find a guide on how to set it up somewhere, just remember to give it the UNC address of your WIndows printer as the target | 04:29 |
| usser | guesswho, thats a bit paranoid but, i guess u can do it. are running a live cd inside virtualbox? | 04:29 |
| Joeseph | usser: the printer does not show up, however, the vista pc shows up, but when I click on it, it doesn't show any printers. same with folders, but I can access them with the right name. | 04:29 |
| guesswho | Joeseph; i have an epson and had no problems, do you have some kind of weird chinese brand printer or something? | 04:30 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: Oh, that's normal | 04:30 |
| kraypius | ubuntu drive encryption is nice but it seems there should be an option to wipe the drive sectors as it encrypts the volume | 04:30 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: the only thing I personally can think of at this point is to try using the ati drivers with dri enabled; i'm not sure what else (beyond faulty hw support in fglrx) that could be causing the flicker off the top of my head | 04:30 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: try switching back to the ati drivers and enabling DRI (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/RadeonXpress) | 04:30 |
| Joeseph | LSD|Ninja: So I guess I really just need to know how to decipher the line its asking me to give. It's a bit ambiguous in my opinion. | 04:30 |
| guesswho | usser; yes, its the samething i did in VMware, but i will create my own live cd soeverything i need is there, like how they will do in a workplace | 04:30 |
| kraypius | im in the middle of installing ubuntu right now with drive encryption and im thinking i may want to go back and scrub the drives with a few wipes and reinstall | 04:31 |
| usser | Joeseph, system->administration->printing then new printer choose windows printer with samba, type the name of your vista machine(may have to type ip) followed by the shared printer name. | 04:31 |
| kraypius | drive* | 04:31 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: usually it's just smb://user:password@Workgroup/Share but you still need the normal local printing support set up and working first | 04:31 |
| usser | Joeseph, ^ | 04:31 |
| guesswho | usser; say i have a customized xp iso, and it boots everything with the same programs ,registry settings and all.. not paranoid, im just hopeing secure :) | 04:31 |
| Kohlrak | i thought dri was enabled in fglrx... no wonder there's a flicker... | 04:31 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: sorry, /Workgroup/Computer/Share | 04:32 |
| Paro[Away] | dri is enabled in fglrx, it's that the fglrx driver is really crappy | 04:32 |
| Joeseph | usser, LSD|Ninja: So I'll download the driver, enter in that magic line, and come back to you. | 04:32 |
| usser | Joeseph, no need to download ubuntu has it built in | 04:32 |
| Paro[Away] | Kohlrak: if you ever want to check: 'glxinfo | grep direct' | 04:32 |
| usser | Joeseph, is the printer a hewlet packard? | 04:32 |
| Kohlrak | Paro[Away]Alright, let's see what we can do with this tehn. | 04:33 |
| Joeseph | yes | 04:33 |
| kraypius | is anyone else using the built in volume enctyption? | 04:33 |
| usser | guesswho, yea i can see the point but can do all that with snapshots. | 04:33 |
| kraypius | encryption* | 04:33 |
| Omoikane_ | Anyone know much about getting drawing tablets to work in ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | kraypius: I don't bother with that tinfoil hat stuff | 04:33 |
| guesswho | usser; i have not learn about snapshots yet | 04:33 |
| Joeseph | usser: I'll type in that line using your way. it's the line I'm having trouble with now. | 04:33 |
| monofuel | how can i set it up in ubuntu to for my xbox 360 to be plugged in to my computer's ethernet port, and let it use my wireless internet connection? | 04:33 |
| kraypius | LSD|Ninja, heh maybe because you dont have a reason to | 04:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: Hang five, I'm checking what I use for my Brotehr laser | 04:33 |
| Paro[Away] | Omoikane: what kind of tablet do you have and what version of ubuntu are you running? | 04:33 |
| usser | guesswho, virtualbox allows you to take a snapshot of a VM once its setup, and every time u power it on its gonna start from exact state it was when u took the snapshot | 04:34 |
| LSD|Ninja | kraypius: I find most people who are using stuff like that don't ;) | 04:34 |
| usser | Joeseph, are u sure the printer is shared on vista? can u see it using that browse button? | 04:34 |
| guesswho | usser; very nice :) im likeing ubuntu better then windows every day | 04:34 |
| Omoikane | Para[away] Bamboo fun small tablet and I'm running hardy | 04:34 |
| Joeseph | usser: I cannot see it with the browse button, but I can print from my vista laptop to it. | 04:34 |
| usser | guesswho, :) | 04:34 |
| greendot | my friend is installing Ubuntu and he keeps getting an ata revalidation error when trying to install, and he also gets a green screen if it finally boots up. what do we do about this issue? | 04:35 |
| usser | Joeseph, the printer is connected to the laptop? using usb cable? | 04:35 |
| usser | Joeseph, whats the general setup? | 04:35 |
| kraypius | LSD|Ninja, i can tell you with absolute certainty that I do need it. On that note, any idea what algorithm it uses? | 04:35 |
| guesswho | monofuel; i dont think xbox360 will work very well with ubuntu considering it is a microsoft product | 04:35 |
| kraypius | aes im assuming? | 04:35 |
| Paro[Away] | Omoikane: bamboo is a wacom tablet, right? | 04:35 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: There's nothing wrong with the share, Ubuntu's SMB client is just broken | 04:35 |
| usser | LSD|Ninja, smb client works just fine | 04:35 |
| Omoikane | Para[away] yeah | 04:35 |
| monofuel | i'm sure i could let it use the internet connection right? | 04:35 |
| SeaPhor | Ubuntu kicks windows A---Bu---out the door/ to the curb! | 04:35 |
| kraypius | there are no options to choose algorithm or hash type | 04:35 |
| AdrianStrays | Can anyone tell me what the windows channel is? | 04:36 |
| Joeseph | usser: My vista pc acts as as the 'server' and a normal desktop to. A networked laptop using vista can print from it. I file share from ubuntu off of it. | 04:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: I'm familiar with the issue he's having as I see it myself all the time | 04:36 |
| Paro[Away] | Omoikane: the tablet should just work under hardy. plug it in while the machine's off, start things up and all should be well | 04:36 |
| svensk1 | can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is? | 04:36 |
| monofuel | i'll never pay 100$ for that stupid wireless connector for the 360 | 04:36 |
| guesswho | AdrianStrays: lol not in the ubuntu irc server :) | 04:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: You won't see any shares even though you know they're there. Only way to access the shares is by entering the name into the address bar | 04:36 |
| usser | LSD|Ninja, oh... | 04:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: It's a client issue, not a server one | 04:36 |
| legend2440 | Omoikane http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765915 | 04:37 |
| Omoikane | Para[away] it's not. | 04:37 |
| usser | LSD|Ninja, no no no thats something else | 04:37 |
| guesswho | monofuel; there is a article on my website that shows you how to hook it up wireless for free on my website www.live-xbox360.com | 04:37 |
| svensk1 | can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is? | 04:37 |
| usser | LSD|Ninja, thats a gnome gvfs bug, its a known thing but it has nothing to do with the printers | 04:37 |
| simon_sk8 | hola conchasumacdress | 04:37 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: I know, that's what I'm getting at | 04:37 |
| monofuel | thx i'll check that out | 04:37 |
| Paro[Away] | monofuel: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html | 04:37 |
| Joeseph | If anyone has a printer shared, could they possibly share their 'smb' line? you can put in fake variable words to make it easier. | 04:37 |
| LSD|Ninja | usser: He's already said otehr machines can see and print just fine | 04:37 |
| greendot | my friend is installing Ubuntu and he keeps getting an ata revalidation error when trying to install, and he also gets a green screen if it finally boots up. what do we do about this issue? | 04:37 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: I'm digging for mine right now | 04:38 |
| simon_sk8 | spanish ?? | 04:38 |
| monofuel | i'll check that out too | 04:38 |
| simon_sk8 | fuck me | 04:38 |
| Paro[Away] | Omoikane: well, i tried T.T that link of legend's should help ;) | 04:38 |

| simon_sk8 | thank | 04:38 |
| simon_sk8 | chet | 04:38 |
| simon_sk8 | jajaj | 04:38 |
| usser | Joeseph, u just have to know the shared name of the printer cause the one that vista shows in printers and faxes is something else | 04:38 |
| guesswho | simon_sk8; no problemo amigo | 04:39 |
| svensk1 | can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is? | 04:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: smb:///username:password@computer/Printer f the share has a password attached | 04:39 |
| Joeseph | usser: I'll go check to make sure I have the 'shared' name I may just have the normal name. | 04:39 |
| usser | Joeseph, yea right click on it theres gotta be something like sharing and security, i dont remember exact phrasing | 04:40 |
| svensk1 | can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is? | 04:40 |
| SeaPhor | svensk1, if i had to guess it would be rc.local | 04:40 |
| platyhelminth_ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqKkjx-_OjE | 04:40 |
| LSD|Ninja | svensk1: ~/.xinitrc ;) | 04:40 |
| Xpistos | can anyone help me turning vob files into avi in ubuntu | 04:40 |
| Omoikane | Para[away] thanks | 04:40 |
| svensk1 | LSD|Ninja: does it need to be copying from somewhere? | 04:41 |
| Paro[Away] | LSD|Ninja: if you use gdm, xinit isn't called and I don't think .xinitrc is read... | 04:41 |
| * usser isnt it .xsession or something? | 04:41 | |
| LSD|Ninja | Paro[Away]: I was just about to get to that | 04:41 |
| guesswho | any idea on how i can change it from going to quanta everytime i click on a link in irc to goto firefox? | 04:41 |
| svensk1 | i believe i'll be using gdm, but i'll be running awesome window manager | 04:41 |

| FAJALOU | friend trying to mount a corrupted ntfs HDD, how can he do it? | 04:42 |
| Paro[Away] | ... It's several hours later than the last time I was awake? o.O | 04:43 |
| Xpistos | vobs are huge and segmented. I want to join them into one nice package and since I am only viewing them at a small res it is worht it | 04:43 |
| m0u5e | FAJALOU: try using ntfs-progs to ntfsfix his harddrive | 04:43 |
| m0u5e | FAJALOU: if that doesnt work, you might need to boot into windows to run a chkdsk before you can mount it in linux | 04:43 |
| FAJALOU | m0u5e: tried ntfsfix, and he can't boot to windows, (virus) | 04:43 |
| phantomcircuit | FAJALOU, sleuthkit, but that's far more advanced | 04:43 |
| usser | Joeseph, put a tick at authentification required and enter username and password there | 04:43 |
| m0u5e | FAJALOU: does he have a windows cd? he can boot into automated recovery if he does | 04:44 |
| simon_sk8 | maricas | 04:44 |
| unop | FAJALOU, chkdsk in windows safe mode | 04:44 |
| usser | FAJALOU, as a last resort u can force mount it man ntfs-3g /dev/sd[] /mnt -o force | 04:45 |
| FAJALOU | unop: he cannot access windows | 04:45 |
| m0u5e | FAJALOU: it wont matter, as long as he has a cd he can boot into Automated recovery | 04:45 |

| unop | FAJALOU, well, only the windows tools can reliably restore the volume .. so you might want to investigate more on this in ##windows | 04:46 |
| Joeseph | LSD|Ninja, usser: Odd..... it said it wasn't shared on my vista pc, even though I can print on it off my vista laptop..... so I shared it, and it seems to be working a bit better now. | 04:46 |
| fsloke | I installed the libtiff using Synaptic Package Manager | 04:47 |

| fsloke | but I don't where the lib is located | 04:47 |
| pajamian | AdrianStrays: the only advice for that problem that you'll be able to get in here is to download the ubuntu live CD and install ubuntu. | 04:47 |
| usser | Joeseph, so does it print from ubuntu? | 04:47 |
| master_ | ı need vdr help pls | 04:47 |

| FAJALOU | master_ when i tried this with : sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc /mount/Window_Corrupt -o force it said that: Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? | 04:48 |
| Paro[Away] | fsloke: why do you need to know where the lib files are? (probably in /usr/lib...) | 04:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | Joeseph: sounds like a permissions issue then | 04:48 |
| fsloke | bcs my application need the lib file.... | 04:48 |
| fsloke | TIFFINC=/usr/include | 04:48 |
| fsloke | LIBTIFF=-L/usr/lib -ltiff | 04:48 |

| Joeseph | Anyway, I seem to have it installed, but it gives me an error when I print. I'll have to figure this out at a later time. Thanks for the help though. | 04:50 |
| Paro[Away] | amanulla: where can't you configure the internet connection? | 04:51 |
| svensk1 | is that another common symptom? | 04:51 |
| amanulla | i recently installed ubuntu 8 in xp as an application programme as this option was provided | 04:51 |

| Kalamansi | usser : is the a prorgram for desktop? | 04:55 |
| FAJALOU | unop: so where can his drive now? | 04:55 |

| ubottu | amanulla: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:02 |
| neilvaage | I've always just loved coding websites in a notepad, so not really sure jkatana. | 05:02 |
| usser | jkatana, try kate | 05:02 |
| carandraug | neilvaage: yea, still compiz can be quite the performance killer. Try running in a terminal "metacity --replace &" | 05:02 |
| SeveredCross | Or press Alt-F2 and run metacity --replace. | 05:02 |
| SeveredCross | There's not a need for a terminal for everything. ;) | 05:02 |
| neilvaage | Yeah was thinking that too, but would really prefer having the eyecandy ;D | 05:03 |

| jkatana | ok, I also heard about 'vim', I tried it once and got bamboozled until I closed it, I heard it could be used for an ide, does it support syntax highlighting? | 05:03 |
| carandraug | neilvaage: once you're done playing, you can go back to compiz with the command "compiz --replace &" It has worked for me and some other people with tha problem before | 05:03 |
| jgiorgi | is there a way to run ubuntu live from a hard drive partition? im having problems in windows with my burning and my bios doesnt support usb flashdrives | 05:03 |
| neilvaage | I just find it strange how Chess when putting it in 3D View starts flickering between 2D and 3D mode, like it can't decide. | 05:03 |
| kraypius | im having a problem. i just did a fresh install and now after the ubuntu loading screen there is just a blinking cursor that seems will never end | 05:04 |
| usser | Kalamansi, whops, my bad mencoder is cmd tool also, theres various frontends to it, try konverter | 05:05 |
| neff1205 | im having trouble getting my sound to work on my p105 Toshiba satellite, i've tried many solutions, but none seem to work, any suggestions? | 05:05 |
| jrican | does ubuntu supports AWLL6070 (wifi adapter)? | 05:05 |
| G3N0 | anyone here familiar with kismet? | 05:05 |
| carandraug | neilvaage: I don't know any workaround other than that. Give it a try just to make sure if would solve. You can easily come back to compiz anytime with that command, | 05:05 |
| neilvaage | Yeah I know, use the --replace quite a bit, but it doesn | 05:05 |
| amanulla | im having a problem. i just did a fresh install and now after the ubuntu 8 logged in my screen brightness is being decreased | 05:06 |
| neilvaage | doesn't fix the Chess 3D view issue for me, tried that before | 05:06 |
| amanulla | im having a problem. i just did a fresh install and now after the ubuntu 8 logged in my screen brightness is being decreased | 05:06 |
| neilvaage | Must be something with my drivers or dependencies somewhere I guess. | 05:06 |

| AeronTS | is Firefox 3 worth the install? | 05:11 |
| neff1205 | no | 05:11 |
| kitche | AeronTS: depends if you like the "Awesome" bar or not really | 05:11 |
| pajamian | AeronTS: that's a very subjective question | 05:11 |
| AeronTS | *i really wish Mozilla would make it so that all themes will work just as well with newer versions of Firefox | 05:11 |
| svensk1 | is flashplugin-nonfree what causes the firefox freezing? | 05:12 |
| AeronTS | kitche: where is the awesome bar? | 05:12 |
| neilvaage | Hasn't frozen for me yet svensken | 05:12 |
| pajamian | AeronTS: it's the locaton bar | 05:12 |
| usser | Kalamansi, im sorry i just never used any gui for video encoding, but konverter looks pretty good. u dont have to install whole of kde to use it | 05:13 |
| AeronTS | that awesome bar doesn't seem that good to me | 05:13 |
| usser | AeronTS, u cant miss the awesome bar | 05:13 |

| amanulla | sorry | 05:14 |
| neilvaage | If it does't work, your chipset didn't support it. | 05:14 |
| neilvaage | Probably because I used it on a intel chipset and you got something else. | 05:15 |
| kraypius | i need some help guys.. it seems the encrypted volume install doesnt work so good. during boot I get a blinking cursor after the loading screen that lasts forever. upon doing ctrl alt f1 i get : setting up cryptographic volume sdb5_crypt | 05:15 |

| amanulla | mines is a intel core 2 duo processor | 05:15 |

| amanulla | any how i will restart system to see | 05:15 |
| kraypius | i cant boot!!! | 05:15 |
| neilvaage | I meant graphics chipset :) | 05:16 |
| murlidhar | how to autostart applications in openbox sessions | 05:16 |
| eatatjoes | does anyone know what needs to be disabled to make 8.04 not use so many resources (7.10 didnt seem to use as many) | 05:16 |
| neilvaage | Can remove BT, Printers etc. if you don't use those | 05:16 |
| amanulla | how to know what graphics chipset | 05:16 |
| amanulla | is mines | 05:16 |
| Kalamansi | thanks ussher | 05:17 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: the main resource hog in 8.04 seems to be FF3 | 05:17 |
| unop | murlidhar, you might have a ~/.openbox/startup file | 05:17 |
| neff1205 | is there anyway to get someone to remote view my laptop and solve the problem that way? | 05:17 |
| eatatjoes | pajamian, even w/o firefox 3 open it seems to be using more resources | 05:17 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: I can't argue with that, that just seems to be the main one, imo. | 05:17 |
| neilvaage | neff, yeah but don't ask me how to do it, never had the need/wish for that :P | 05:17 |
| eatatjoes | pajamian, computer temperature stays higher in ubuntu than in XP! | 05:17 |

| Striker_XF35 | Does anyone know why full screen games would cause a full crach of ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| murlidhar | unop : there ain't anything. you mean ./config/openbox/ | 05:18 |
| neilvaage | Then again I am using EEE. | 05:18 |
| eatatjoes | neilvaage, mine did with 7.10 but not with hardy | 05:18 |
| murlidhar | ? | 05:18 |
| unop | murlidhar, perhaps | 05:18 |
| unop | murlidhar, your best bet would be to refer to the openbox documentation | 05:18 |
| neilvaage | Striker, not sure, but I have issues with 3D when it comes to games in Hardy. | 05:18 |
| eatatjoes | is there visual effects or stuff than can be disabled? | 05:18 |
| murlidhar | unop: there also there isn't any autostart.sh file | 05:18 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: yeah, you can disable compiz if it's been enabled (comes disabled by default) | 05:19 |
| murlidhar | unop: i actually forgot where to find the autostart.sh file | 05:19 |
| sarndt | join #linuxone | 05:19 |
| eatatjoes | pajamian, wheres that at? (i think its disabled already) | 05:20 |
| murlidhar | unop: i think that is the only option left now . | 05:20 |

| murlidhar | unop : thanks anyways | 05:20 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: System / Preferences / Appearance | 05:20 |
| unop | murlidhar, you could use find. find ~ -iname "*autostart.sh*" | 05:20 |
| eatatjoes | pajamian, last tab > none? | 05:20 |
| murlidhar | unop k | 05:21 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: yep | 05:21 |
| neilvaage | But I am using a 915GM inside a tiny little EEE PC, so I ain't expecting wonders, just a shame that it works on the Windows XP partition, I don't want to boot up Windows /sulk | 05:21 |
| eatatjoes | anyway to see what it using all the resources? | 05:21 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: you can run top in the terminal (there are other ways as well) | 05:22 |
| neilvaage | There's a System Monitor under System > Administration | 05:22 |

| Striker_XF35 | leaving no option but to hard reset | 05:23 |
| neff1205 | how do I see what hardware i have? chipset, soundcard....ect | 05:23 |
| shingen | lol, I responded to a question that was 40 minutes old :P | 05:23 |
| eatatjoes | its showing that gnome-panel is sleeping but 22MB of memory is the highest | 05:23 |
| neilvaage | With nearly all Compiz snassy effects on, I am using only 200MB ram :x Got to love Ubuntu over XP/Vista, would run at least 500MB there. | 05:24 |
| eatatjoes | im only using 220MB of RAM but pc seems to be running warmer :/ | 05:24 |
| neilvaage | Fan control issue? | 05:25 |
| shingen | pssh... I just stripped my windows virtual image down to 150MB :P | 05:25 |
| Striker_XF35 | is there any key combo in ubuntu that acts like alt-ctrl-del does in windows? | 05:25 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: I know this may seem obvious, but when was the last time you cleaned out your fans? | 05:25 |
| eatatjoes | pajamian, today | 05:25 |
| neilvaage | I forgot what that does Striker lol :D | 05:25 |
| shingen | Striker_XF35: yeah, ctrl-alt-delete :) | 05:25 |
| pajamian | eatatjoes: hehehe, ok, just checking | 05:25 |
| eatatjoes | pajamian, it runs about 8C cooler in XP than Ubuntu | 05:25 |

| jennifer | hi | 05:25 |
| neilvaage | Task manager? | 05:25 |
| karuna_bdc | does anyone know y pidgin keeps on having MSN read errors? | 05:26 |
| neilvaage | You can bind the exact shortcut to launch the System Monitor if you wanted. | 05:26 |
| neff1205 | conexant CX20551 is the sound card i think?, is there a driver for that? | 05:26 |
| pajamian | karuna_bdc: nope, it's logged in fine for me. How long has it been doing that? | 05:27 |
| jennifer | i have kubuntu-kde4 installed from wubi. i also installed ubuntu-desktop, but now i want to get rid of both and run an ubuntu-minimal. is there a command line guru around that knows how to do that? | 05:27 |
| shingen | jennifer: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop for gnome... I can't recall what to remove for kde | 05:28 |
| jennifer | it's kde4 the one that wubi gave me | 05:28 |
| karuna_bdc | pajamian: quite some time, almost a month now | 05:28 |
| unop | jennifer, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE | 05:28 |
| hiptobecubic^ | does ubu have the middle-click-toggles-autoscroll feature? i can't find it | 05:28 |
| shingen | jennifer: find it in synaptic... I can't remember what the package is called | 05:28 |
| shingen | jennifer: or aptitude even | 05:28 |
| lint | hi jenniefer =) | 05:28 |
| unop | shingen, ubuntu-destkop is just a metapackage, removing it has little effect | 05:28 |
| karuna_bdc | pajamian: sometimes it can connect but most of the time it says reading error even tho the internet is on just fine | 05:28 |
| === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic | ||
| shingen | unop: if you remove it with all dependencies, it will do what you want it to | 05:29 |
| * usser sighs | 05:29 | |
| pajamian | karuna_bdc: oh well, as I said, it's working fine for me, but we're probably connecting to different msn servers. | 05:29 |
| jennifer | lint: hi =] | 05:29 |
| hamzilla | Does ubuntu have an ansi console font installed by default? ie: one that displays all the fancy ansii in BitchX Or epic scripts? | 05:29 |
| unop | shingen, right, but apt-get does not do that by default | 05:29 |
| Kohlrak | does anyone know how to get into that applet for the multiple screens? | 05:29 |
| karuna_bdc | pajamian: i guess, which country u in? | 05:29 |
| zeeeee | where is daemon keeping pidfiles? i checked /var/run but i don't see it there.... the command i used is daemon -r -O daemon.info -E daemon.err -n $NAME -U $DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS | 05:30 |
| hamzilla | hey pajamian yesterday you gave me some advice on howto get to console and it worked ., thank you :> | 05:30 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: yeah, I remember that | 05:30 |
| neff1205 | mailto:?Body=vncviewer neff-laptop:0 | 05:30 |
| pajamian | karuna_bdc: New Zelaand | 05:30 |
| pajamian | gah | 05:30 |
| hamzilla | it worked - thank you alot. | 05:30 |
| pajamian | New Zealand | 05:30 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: yw :-) | 05:30 |
| karuna_bdc | pajamian: Malaysia, haha yeap prolly differnet servers | 05:31 |
| Kohlrak | anyone know the other applet other than screen resolution from the preferances tab that'll allow you to select your resolution? | 05:31 |
| pajamian | karuna_bdc: most likely it's not a problem on your end of the connection, but a problem with the MSN server you're connecting to or a routing problem that has yet to be resolved. | 05:32 |
| unsungx | heya, anyone know how to change the appearance of the top bar in 8.04? | 05:32 |
| Kohlrak | unsungx: system -> preferanes -> appearance | 05:33 |
| hamzilla | pajamian, how old are you? last night you said you had to go upstairs to eat dinner | 05:33 |
| unsungx | idk if im askin te right question then lol | 05:33 |
| pajamian | jennifer: I would guess that you can get rid of all the GUI stuff with: sudo apt-get remove gdm | 05:33 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: 35, and I saw your comment on that ;-) | 05:33 |
| hamzilla | haha | 05:33 |
| hamzilla | ok | 05:33 |
| unop | pajamian, that will likely only remove the GDM but leave the desktop intact | 05:33 |
| Kohlrak | pajamian: nope. gdm is only gksu and the auto start of xserver | 05:33 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: when you get older you can swap wife for parents in that role ;-) | 05:34 |
| Kohlrak | to get rid of gui entirely, sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core | 05:34 |
| hamzilla | yah im 26 my gf hates it when i geek out infront of the computer - but we just do it in different ways ., she loves myspace ., i love console and mpg123 heh | 05:34 |
| pajamian | oh well, there's gotta be one or two key packages that everything relies on. | 05:34 |
| hamzilla | pajamian, i have another problem now , i cant find a font installed by default with ubuntu that will display the ansii graphics in bitchx / epic scripts.. | 05:34 |
| jennifer | so sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core would get rid of kde4, gnome, etc.? | 05:35 |
| wangjnmz | hello | 05:35 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: sorry, I can't help ya much there. I am a GUI person unless I'm working on servers and I don't run bitchx on my web servers ;-) | 05:35 |
| Kohlrak | jennifer: it'd get rid of the gui. gnome, kde, and the like are all xserver programs. they'd stay, but the gui goes. | 05:35 |
| Kohlrak | it'd still run, you just wouldn't see it =p | 05:35 |
| hamzilla | epic + lice? ;p | 05:36 |
| neff1205 | what would be the reasons for sound not working on a laptop | 05:36 |
| Kohlrak | neff: bad card, bad drivers, etc | 05:36 |
| ykphuah | where to I download the src deb package for the network-manager in ubuntu 8.04? | 05:36 |
| hamzilla | pajamian, are you a sysadmin? | 05:36 |
| unop | !puregnome > jennifer | 05:36 |

| Kohlrak | ykphuah: isn't that default? | 05:36 |
| unop | !purekde > jennifer | 05:36 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: yeah, well primarily I do web programming, but I have doen some sysadmin as well, just not a lot. | 05:37 |
| neff1205 | it cant be drivers cause i DL' almost all, pretty sure its not the card | 05:37 |
| ykphuah | Kohlrak: I want the src deb, the default installed is just binary deb right? | 05:37 |
| jennifer | okay ubottu thank you :D | 05:37 |
| hamzilla | pajamian, someone told me if i could learn ruby on rails i could get a sysadmin / jr.sys admin job.,., is ruby on rails that important that basic *nix skills and knowledge of it is all required for such a nice job? | 05:37 |
| Kohlrak | neff: it has to be one or the other, unless it's your audio player. | 05:37 |
| unop | jennifer, ubottu is only a faithful bot .. he does what other people tell him to do :) | 05:37 |
| pajamian | !thanks | jennifer | 05:37 |

| neff1205 | mmmmmmmm | 05:38 |
| unop | hamzilla, off-topic | 05:38 |
| Kohlrak | ykphuah: hm... you'll have to find out the name of the applet then search for it, unless there's a source command | 05:38 |

| neff1205 | how would i find out what the problem is/. | 05:39 |
| ykphuah | Kohlrak: I have the name of the package, its NetworkManager, i want to take a look at the source that people use to generate this particular deb. In rpm based systems usually the rpm will have a corresponding .src.rpm, which contains the upstream source and any patches. | 05:39 |

| ykphuah | Kohlrak: I am guessing I need extra repos in synaptics, the default ones doesn't show me the src deb | 05:40 |
| neff1205 | any ideas? | 05:41 |
| Kohlrak | ykphuah: perhaps, unless the source is in the deb | 05:41 |
| Kohlrak | neff: check your audio card on the audio card compatability list, then google "ubuntu" and the name of your card and maybe some one has a fix for it | 05:41 |

| hwilde_ | maliciousmiked, you complete about refresh rate but you don't know what is your fps? | 06:09 |
| Deepthought | maliciousmiked, probably to high for over 50; tried 1024x768 or 88x600 ? | 06:09 |
| murlidhar | i did something wrong and i now don't get the option of "extract here" in the right click menu of pcmanfm . | 06:09 |

| amanulla | i m using ubuntu 8 i want to down load skype if i downloads from here Download Debian package from http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu can i install it ..does it works in my system as i use it in xp? | 06:36 |
| hamzilla | compatable graphics cards w/ubuntu? | 06:36 |
| hamzilla | what is skype? | 06:37 |
| amanulla | skype is a chat software | 06:37 |
| geek_ | amanulla: in general yeah, it should | 06:37 |
| sluimers | skype is a chatprogram | 06:37 |
| pajamian | Omoikane: is it a wacom drawing pad? | 06:37 |
| hamzilla | like pidgin ? | 06:37 |
| rodya_ | skype is voip software | 06:37 |
| fsloke | there? | 06:38 |
| hitman1985 | skype is both | 06:38 |
| Omoikane | pajamian yes | 06:38 |
| amanulla | i dont know pidgin its like yahoomsn,gtalk in xp | 06:38 |
| Kohlrak-Server | anyone ever heard of a problem where you end up with a white screen upon logging in? | 06:38 |
| Omoikane | pajamian why? | 06:38 |
| fsloke | I install an application using ./configure | 06:38 |
| fsloke | make | 06:38 |
| fsloke | make install | 06:38 |
| fsloke | may I know how can I uninstall the application? | 06:39 |
| fsloke | In short reverse everything back to normal | 06:39 |
| hamzilla | rm -rf /applications-directory | 06:39 |
| pajamian | Omoikane: from what I can gather GIMP does appear to have support for that, includign pressure sensitivity, but I'm not sure. YOu will want the wacom-tools package. | 06:39 |
| sluimers | I want to set my resolution to 1600x1050, it's not an option in the screen resolution menu, can anyone help me with that? | 06:39 |
| favro | sluimers: in a terminal type - xrandr - and see if that is an option | 06:40 |
| sluimers | favro, nope, not an option | 06:41 |
| l3d | I was wondering how to not take a update and stop it from trying to pick it up as a needed update again | 06:41 |
| hamzilla | does ubuntu support usb digital cameras? i have a nikon coolpix 2000 | 06:41 |
| hitman1985 | hamzilla, my canon ixus works | 06:42 |
| hitman1985 | hamzilla, as long as u just want to get pics from there to ubuntu it should just pick it up fine | 06:42 |
| sluimers | favro, I do know it's possible, but I've switched to different graphics drivers and back... it just seems I did not get totally back yet | 06:42 |
| favro | sluimers: you will have to edit xorg.conf and add it as an option - gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:43 |
| hamzilla | hitman1985, what app do you use? | 06:43 |
| pajamian | Omoikane: look under file / preferences / input devices in the gimp to see what options it has for the drawing pad. | 06:43 |
| sluimers | favro, you mean in section monitor? | 06:43 |
| Madpilot | hamzilla, the default for cameras in Ubuntu is F-Spot; it's pretty slick, and the automatic camera detection is great - just plug the critter in and turn it on | 06:44 |
| kcman1 | gaintsura you gave me that page for ati and nvidia but there are no options for intel corporation mobile chip sets | 06:44 |
| hamzilla | nice - | 06:44 |
| hitman1985 | hamzilla, i use the one what came with it, but its really anoying to be honest, because it imports with img 099.jpg and so i think you cant really tell it to give some names like abc.jpg and so on | 06:44 |
| hitman1985 | hamzilla, but it imports it nicely and in one folder with date and so on so i dont really care | 06:44 |
| hamzilla | sheesh the battery is dead in my camera allready | 06:44 |
| favro | sluimers: in section screen | 06:44 |
| hamzilla | i hate that - 4 double a's and they die after like 10 minutes | 06:45 |
| pajamian | hitman1985: it will just import with the names given to the files by your camera. You can certainly rename the files after import. | 06:45 |
| legend2440 | l3d: open synaptic select package you want to lock choose Package>Lock version | 06:45 |
| pajamian | hamzilla: I've heard that some cameras are very picky about the batteries they use. | 06:45 |
| dfgas | Linux PD2800Dual 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 06:46 |
| dfgas | why doesn't it update at all | 06:46 |
| hamzilla | yah i have 2 rechargeable ones and 2 dollar store ones dollar store ones are terrible in anything moreless a digital camera | 06:46 |
| hitman1985 | pajamian, jeah i guess so, but its kinda pain in the back to do so because i havent even found a way to do batches and i got way to much pics to worry about that if its not built in so therefore i was usin the cam just temp on linux and will use it on wind... untill i find a proper application | 06:47 |

| pajamian | murlidhar: you need to install the p7zip package first | 07:00 |

| MooCows | wols: ? | 07:36 |

| MooCows | er, I'll just copy and paste | 07:38 |

| orgthingy | Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate. | 07:39 |
| cyphase | wols: something in linux has a window class. i'm pretty sure it's X | 07:39 |
| orgthingy | what should i do :'( ? | 07:39 |
| wols | cyphase: then show us the docs for this "window class" | 07:39 |

| wols | cyphase: but it helps US to have a clue what the heck you talk about | 07:40 |
| wols | cause right now, you make very little sense | 07:41 |
| garou | Hi again. | 07:41 |
| MIKED | compiz is installed | 07:41 |
| wols | MooCows: snd-hda-intel is the driver you will need | 07:41 |
| favro | MIKED: and where does it fail - at which part of the readme? | 07:41 |
| prince_jammys | cyphase: xprop tells you window class information, if that's what you want. | 07:41 |
| garou | I just put the nVidia 9500GT back into the computer, then installed and started envy-gtk. | 07:41 |
| cyphase | wols: just because you don't know what a window class is doesn't mean nobody else does | 07:41 |
| MooCows | wols: will i be able to install that with apt-get ? | 07:41 |
| kcman1 | wols i have the intel corporation mobile 940gm, and when i am running 3d apps like wow as long as i dont move to much i am fine but if i get a move on the app errors out, even some add/remove games will not run without flickering gets annoying glxinfo here: http://pastebin.com/d47f2fb62 | 07:41 |
| garou | This was its reaction: Exception: EnvyNG ERROR: Nvidia card not found | 07:41 |
| wols | cyphase: no one else here does. not on linux. | 07:41 |
| prince_jammys | i do | 07:41 |
| prince_jammys | cyphase: run xprop and click on any window | 07:42 |
| MIKED | well I have awn manager installed, but when I select the theme and try to apply it, nothing happens (as in I still have the regular bottom bar) | 07:42 |
| cyphase | wols: prince_jammys just answered something about window class. not what i was looking for, but obviously he knows what it is | 07:42 |
| garou | Also, shouldn't GFX cards in the PCI-E bus appear in lspci? | 07:42 |
| MooCows | wols: seems I am unable to install with apt-get | 07:42 |
| wols | garou: they do. sudo update-pciids; lspci -nn | 07:43 |
| cyphase | prince_jammys: i know about xprop. what i want is to make VLC have a specific window class | 07:43 |
| haunse | I am new to ubuntu and have been trying to fully commit to linux ( i have wanted to for a long time) im still confused on how to install software... is there anyone here that would spend a few minutes to help me understand how the process of extracting/installing applications is done (a private message is preffered as that the man room conversations are distracing) | 07:43 |
| karex | HI, how to set lcd-brightness in hardy? | 07:43 |
| wols | MooCows: cause it's not needed. ubuntu comes with drivers for it by default. drivers are in the kernel usually, like this one is | 07:43 |
| Dethray | How do I clear out the print cue? | 07:43 |
| MooCows | wols: Ok, any idea where to find it? | 07:43 |
| garou | wols: Still nothing. | 07:43 |
| wols | haunse: you install via synaptic. it's a program that shows all available ubuntu software and installs it and removes it too | 07:44 |
| prince_jammys | cyphase: try #xorg | 07:44 |
| favro | MIKED: have you done the three steps - added the theme to awn + emerald + ccm | 07:44 |
| wols | MooCows: you simply have it. modprobe snd-hda-intel for example | 07:44 |
| wols | garou: pastebin the lspci -nn output | 07:44 |
| CeWe_iMoeT | jakarta | 07:44 |
| MIKED | yes I have | 07:45 |
| MooCows | wols: I need to tell the sound mixer to use it? | 07:45 |
| MIKED | all themes have been added, but it seems like theyr are not being applied | 07:45 |
| haunse | i know of the add/remove at the bottome of the appplications tabe....but i was under the assumption that installing requires the terminal | 07:45 |
| garou | wols: http://rafb.net/p/NML78I60.html | 07:45 |
| karex | CeWe_iMoeT: maksud loe? | 07:45 |
| wols | MooCows: if it's the only card it is used by default | 07:45 |
| wols | garou: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2772] (rev 02) | 07:46 |
| favro | MIKED: have you logged out/in to apply the themes? | 07:46 |
| wols | you have an intel video card, integrated. not a 9500gt | 07:46 |
| MooCows | wols: then why would there be no sound in applications, IE: pidgin, etc | 07:46 |
| garou | wols: I just put a 9500GT into that computer. | 07:46 |
| prince_jammys | cyphase: that's probably a good bet, though it might be slow... | 07:46 |
| wols | MooCows: I wouldn't know since you didn't give enough info | 07:46 |
| MIKED | im sorry im not sure whta you mean by that | 07:46 |
| kcman1 | wols did you get my last message? | 07:46 |
| MooCows | wols: what more information can I gather? | 07:47 |
| MIKED | I've restarted my computer if thats what your asking | 07:47 |
| wols | kcman1: what ubuntu version? | 07:47 |
| cyphase | prince_jammys: thanks | 07:47 |
| wols | MooCows: logfiles check for example | 07:47 |
| favro | MIKED: try logging out or rebooting and see the result | 07:47 |
| garou | Heh, I have an evil suspicion... Could be that the cards box is missing a needed power connector. | 07:47 |
| MIKED | I just rebooted, with no results | 07:48 |
| wols | cyphase: I'd say you have to look into wxwindows (the vlc gui library) to change window class and recompile vlc | 07:48 |
| favro | MIKED: k - no luck that way - "You must have install the avant-window-navigator-bzr package" - it is installed? | 07:48 |
| wols | garou: 9500gt shouldn't need additional power connectors. and if it does, then your PSU needs to have that connector | 07:48 |
| favro | MIKED: that's prob the theme right? | 07:49 |
| garou | *bbiab, putting my hands into the guts of my box again* | 07:49 |
| cyphase | prince_jammys: a lot of gnome apps have a --class option on the command line, but not VLC | 07:49 |
| MIKED | yes avant-window-navigator-bzr is installed | 07:49 |
| MIKED | there is a theme for awn and emerald | 07:49 |
| wols | garou: does your bios put out PCI IDs of connected hardware when it boots? | 07:49 |
| wols | garou: if it does, check if the nvidia PCI ID is shown | 07:49 |
| MIKED | but neither seem to work | 07:49 |
| kcman1 | wols hardy i think my grub loader still says 8.04 or whatever | 07:50 |
| MooCows | wols: My sound also isn't as high as in windows. | 07:50 |
| favro | MIKED: might be time to ask the good folk in #compiz-fusion then :) | 07:50 |
| kcman1 | wols just checked i am 8.04 hardy | 07:50 |
| Quiescent | i have a problem, i followed some great tutorial that helped me install flash 10 rc on ubuntu x64 and now the bookmarks and history in firefox don't work, the address bar doesn't update when you load pages, and the refresh, back, and forward buttons don't work. i've done a "complete removal" of everything firefox related and reinstalled and still have the same issue | 07:50 |
| MIKED | alright let me see what I can get from there, thanks | 07:50 |
| favro | k | 07:50 |
| wols | kcman1: your DRI version sounds very old: 2006... | 07:50 |
| wols | Quiescent: recreate your firefox profile in your ~ | 07:51 |
| MooCows | wols: VLC will play VOBs fine, but the sound is set to max, and the sound isn't blaring like it was in windows | 07:51 |
| prince_jammys | Quiescent: have you checked whether the ownership of the .mozilla directory and files has changed? | 07:51 |
| kcman1 | wols my master what would you have me do now? | 07:51 |
| wols | cyphase: vlc is not gnome related btw | 07:51 |
| haunse | i know of the add/remove at the bottome of the appplications tabe....but i was under the assumption that installing requires the terminal | 07:51 |
| wols | kcman1: check if there isn't a newer version of driver | 07:52 |
| hiptobecubic | I need to make a particular domain so that it is accessed using only wifi. I believe route add -host <hostname> dev ath0 will accomplish this. does that sound right? | 07:52 |
| wols | kcman1: e.g. I dunno if in 2006 your chipset already existed, so it could be a driver that is too old. is this a ubuntu upgrade or new install? | 07:52 |
| Quiescent | i haven't checked the ownership of files, i'm going to try to find my profile and try that first | 07:52 |
| haunse | Can anyone help me to understand how to install software on ubuntu (specifically ndiswrapper) i have no idea how to install any tools/software execpt the add/remove tool but i cant figure out how to get ndiswrapper to show up in the add/remove list | 07:52 |
| wols | hiptobecubic: put it into your /etc/network/interfaces via post-up script | 07:53 |
| hiptobecubic | wols what is post-up script? | 07:53 |
| Dethray | having touble printing from my wireless laptop to my print server. Is there any way to clear out the printer cue? | 07:53 |
| wols | haunse: install ndisgtk. and that is there | 07:53 |
| wols | hiptobecubic: a feature of /etc/network/interfaces. man interfaces | 07:53 |
| favro | !info ndiswrapper | 07:53 |
| ubottu | Package ndiswrapper does not exist in hardy | 07:53 |
| hiptobecubic | wols, ok thanks | 07:53 |
| wols | Dethray: ask your printserver manual | 07:54 |
| haunse | thats just it i dont know how to install anything | 07:54 |
| wols | haunse: start add/remove programs and look for it | 07:54 |
| wols | haunse: or read help.ubuntu.com | 07:54 |
| Dethray | well it is shared from my xp machine, wols | 07:54 |
| ookjmk | hi | 07:55 |
| wols | Dethray: why would we care? | 07:55 |
| Quiescent | how do i backup my bookmarks in firefox 3 if i can't get to them from within the app? | 07:55 |
| prince_jammys | !apt | haunse : this should be of interest | 07:55 |
| ubottu | haunse : this should be of interest: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 07:55 |
| Dethray | What's your problem? | 07:55 |
| wols | Dethray: I don't have one. you do have one but it's not ubuntu related. neither printserver nor windows are | 07:55 |
| Dethray | ok is there a way from within ubuntu to clear out my print cue? | 07:56 |
| Dethray | I can't seem to find any info on it | 07:56 |
| ookjmk | hey does anyone know how to install madwifi cuz ive used many tutorials nothing is helping | 07:56 |
| wols | since the queue is not on ubuntu but on the printserver, why would there? | 07:56 |
| wols | !madwifi | ookjmk | 07:56 |
| ubottu | ookjmk: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:56 |
| Amerikan | What is a good DVD burner that is compatible with .avi | 07:57 |
| wols | ookjmk: hardy uses a dummy package and uses ath5k IIRC | 07:57 |
| wols | Amerikan: #hardware | 07:57 |
| Dethray | Why would it not be in ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| prince_jammys | Quiescent: what does 'ls -ld ~/.mozilla' say? | 07:57 |
| wols | Dethray: cause your queue is not in ubuntu but the printserver? | 07:57 |
| Dethray | Hmm | 07:58 |
| DIFH-iceroot | for dual-view (clone mode) is it possible to use different resolutions for the two screens? intern screen 800x480, extern screen 1024x768 | 07:58 |

| Quiescent | i'm in .mozilla/firefox/ | 07:58 |
| Quiescent | and then my profile folder | 07:59 |
| kcman1 | wols i bought this machine in dec of 07 with vista on it and i put ubuntu on it to replace the fakey windows attempt at an os, but i have had the same graphics issues with ubuntu that i did with windows so i am not sure what to do about the driver | 07:59 |
| Dethray | forget it, I'll ask in #cups | 07:59 |
| wols | DIFH-iceroot: then one is probabkly using a virtual res | 07:59 |
| Amerikan | wols: Why would that be hardware? | 07:59 |
| wols | kcman1: that's intel graphics for you | 07:59 |
| wols | Amerikan: cause it is | 07:59 |
| Quiescent | but the bookmarks.html and the folder bookmarkbackups don't actually have my bookmarks in them | 07:59 |
| prince_jammys | Quiescent: ok, that's good. browse into that dir and verify that all files are owned by travis. also, back up that directory while you're at it. (copy it to ~/mozillabackup) | 07:59 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wols: you mean i have to scroll one screen? | 07:59 |
| haunse | is there any way that someone could just type the command to install ndiswrapper so i can copy/paste directly to the terminal | 08:00 |
| wols | Amerikan: we don't tell people what hardware to buy. not a ubuntu support problem. especially not a question like syours | 08:00 |
| wols | DIFH-iceroot: yes | 08:00 |
| prince_jammys | Quiescent: oh, i recall something about this. i think i had something like this when i updated firefox. | 08:00 |
| wols | Quiescent: since ffox3 bookmarks are kept in a sqlite DB | 08:00 |
| favro | any lxde users here? - bugger won't accept any changes I make... | 08:00 |
| Amerikan | wols: I didn't ask anything pertaining to hardware unless you think a writable dvd is hardware. | 08:00 |
| wols | Amerikan: what else is it than hardware? | 08:00 |
| Quiescent | how do i change ownership of everything, can i use dpkg-statoverride? | 08:01 |
| Amerikan | wols: Software. | 08:01 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Quiescent: i think you dont want to do this | 08:01 |
| Quiescent | nevermind, i see that won't work | 08:01 |

| Quiescent | so i need to do 'chown travis -R' ? | 08:03 |

| Dethray | gnome-cups-manager sux | 08:04 |

| Amerikan | wols: I'll try that if k3b doesn't work out, thank you for the help :) | 08:06 |
| jgiorgi | hateball: i wanted to keep it separate from my desktop install and make it easy, thought that would be the best way, couldnt i just enter sudo apt-get install gnome | 08:06 |
| prince_jammys | Quiescent: are you able to access the bookmarks? | 08:06 |
| perfector | wols, hey | 08:06 |
| favro | perfector: I start from the server install and use 41mb mem to paint the desktop - was 28 in dapper | 08:06 |
| hateball | jgiorgi: Yeah you could | 08:06 |
| Quiescent | yeah, everything works now, i just gave myself ownership of the entire .mozilla folder | 08:06 |
| prince_jammys | Quiescent: this probably happened if you ran firefox using 'sudo' | 08:07 |
| jgiorgi | hateball: i love it when i guess the right command, thanks | 08:07 |

| arooni-mobile | how do i get this: "If you’re using MySQL, you’ll need MySQLdb, version 1.2.1p2 or higher. You will also want to read the database-specific notes for the MySQL backend." | 08:09 |
| wols | hiptobecubic: no. you need to write a script and call that | 08:11 |
| wols | arooni-mobile: what language? | 08:11 |
| arooni-mobile | wols, python | 08:11 |
| arooni-mobile | what about this one: "If you’re using PostgreSQL, you’ll need the psycopg package. Django supports both version 1 and 2. (When you configure Django’s database layer, specify either postgresql [for version 1] or postgresql_psycopg2 [for version 2].)" | 08:11 |
| wols | arooni-mobile: apt-cache search python | grep mysql | 08:11 |

| miyako | is there a way to set a different language for a user from the default language of the system in ubuntu? | 08:14 |

| DOT3CH | whats the move file command again | 08:15 |
| corey | please? | 08:15 |
| hiptobecubic | wols, and in there is just a script with the route command? | 08:15 |
| miyako | wols: in .bash_profile ? | 08:15 |

| hiptobecubic | does it need sudo? | 08:16 |
| hiptobecubic | wols | 08:16 |
| wols | no, network config is always executed in root context. wouldn't work otherwise | 08:16 |
| hiptobecubic | wols, it shouldn't right? | 08:16 |
| prince_jammys | miyako: look into LANG also | 08:17 |

| hiptobecubic | wols, i guess i'm a bit confused about what this interfaces file REALLY does. before i added that bit at the end, all it had was loopback stuff in it. how does ath0 and eth0 function then? why don't you need auto ath0 and auto eth0 for the interfaces to work? | 08:24 |

| wols | WebGuest: how much RAM? | 08:25 |
| WebGuest | wols: 4gb | 08:25 |
| pedro | RMVB, i do | 08:25 |
| wols | WebGuest: then it'S a tossup if you really want to, I'd still use i386 tho | 08:26 |
| pedro | its pratically the only video format i use | 08:26 |
| dfccarrion | pedro: well what's your question about real player? | 08:26 |
| wols | 64bit is rarely worth it, especially not on a desktop machine | 08:26 |
| prince_jammys | pedro: mplayer and vlc probably play them | 08:26 |
| WebGuest | could you give me some reasons? i've been using 32bit on my pc that is only 32bit and have heard that people still use that on 64bit systems | 08:26 |
| koshari | vlc wont play real media, | 08:26 |
| dfccarrion | webguest: the software just hasn't caught up with 64bit processing hardware | 08:27 |
| koshari | its about the only format VLC wont play | 08:27 |
| wols | WebGuest: java plugin, flash plugin, acrobat plugin | 08:27 |
| kibibyte | hi | 08:27 |
| pedro | its that when i watch RMVB, everything is blue. some guy told me to go at totem and set hue to minimum and it worked, but now every time i wanna play a RMVB file, i have to open totem also | 08:27 |
| WebGuest | so i still should go with 32 bit | 08:27 |
| wols | WebGuest: non exists for 64bit, only many kludges | 08:27 |
| wols | WebGuest: there is no speed advantage either unless for certain software | 08:27 |
| haunse | get ndiswrapper | 08:27 |
| WebGuest | wols: so its practically the same unless for certain software designed for 64bit architecture | 08:27 |
| WebGuest | ? | 08:28 |
| koshari | pedro where do you get real media files these days? | 08:28 |
| wols | WebGuest: yes | 08:28 |
| WebGuest | then i will stick to 32bit | 08:28 |
| WebGuest | another question | 08:28 |
| dfccarrion | webguest: linux's os is very good in 64bit but the software isn't ready for it | 08:28 |
| pedro | i download rmvb's files at www.islifecorp.com.br , but it's not a english website, i warn you | 08:28 |

| Kartagis | is there a way not to make vi suck in ubuntu? | 08:29 |
| hiptobecubic | wols, i think this would be easier using /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ i'll try it there. thanks for your help :) | 08:29 |
| dfccarrion | webguest: possibly | 08:29 |
| wols | WebGuest: usually yes, but no one will give you guarantees | 08:29 |
| wols | Kartagis: use vim | 08:29 |
| WebGuest | yes i understand that | 08:29 |
| Kartagis | to make vi not suck rather | 08:29 |
| prince_jammys | Kartagis: how does it suck? | 08:29 |
| dfccarrion | webguest: ubuntu uses alot less resources, which usually translates into better battery life | 08:29 |

| morbyte | hi. i have a fingerprint sensor on my notebook which i will not use. is there a way to disable it completely? atm its just causing wakeups too often (>1/sec) - is there a way to shut down that usb port? (its within the notebook so i cant pull the plug)? | 08:46 |
| favro | Kohlrak-Server: hardy made me glad I back up things like xorg.conf | 08:46 |
| Kohlrak-Server | now, i got a white screen every time i try to install the proprietary ati driver, and i can't see what else i could possibly install (installing the free driver doesn't seem to have instructions. seems to depend on the auto config things which is the problem in the first place) | 08:46 |
| Mahrellon | morbyte: Have you checked the laptop's Bios settings if there is an option to disable it? | 08:47 |
| Kohlrak-Server | favro: that gave me an idea... maybe i have an old xorg.conf file... But i doubt i'm that lucky | 08:47 |
| morbyte | Mahrellon: the bios has no options whatsoever | 08:47 |
| Khisanth | favro: what will? | 08:47 |
| favro | Kohlrak-Server: did you add fglrx to /etc/modules? | 08:47 |
| morbyte | Kohlrak-Server: disable your compiz... compiz is known to make whitescreens | 08:47 |
| favro | Khisanth: sorry - wrong nick :) | 08:47 |
| fsloke | there? | 08:47 |
| fsloke | want to ask | 08:47 |
| Mahrellon | morbyte: Then there's no easy way of disabling it. I'm not sure (and I'm sort of new to linux myself here) if it's possible to remove it from the hardware list in Ubuntu leaving it out of the startup. | 08:48 |
| fsloke | I install a application using source | 08:48 |
| Mahrellon | If that makes any sense lol | 08:48 |
| fsloke | make | 08:48 |
| fsloke | make install | 08:48 |
| wols | Kohlrak-Server: what card? | 08:48 |
| Kohlrak-Server | morbyte: wouldn't it have been disabled upon uninstalling the fglrx (trying to find a faster solution, found out that i coudln't even install it)? | 08:48 |
| morbyte | Kohlrak-Server: youre able to log in by gdm arent you? | 08:48 |
| fsloke | If I don't want the program | 08:48 |
| Sindacious | could anyone tell me where the kernel module loader conf is? | 08:48 |
| Kohlrak-Server | Xpress 1100 i do believe | 08:48 |
| fsloke | how can I clean it up ? | 08:48 |
| Kohlrak-Server | morbyte: yes, i can log in, but that's where the trouble starts | 08:49 |
| LSD|Ninja | fsloke: if you're lucky you can make uninstall but if you;re not, you're SOL without a reinstall | 08:49 |
| morbyte | Kohlrak-Server: no. its not problematic for all fglrx | 08:49 |
| wols | fsloke: depends wholly on the program, not standard way. that's one of the reason we tell people NOT to use make and make install | 08:49 |
| prince_jammys | fsloke: check the README that came with it. | 08:49 |
| LSD|Ninja | fsloke: this is why it's not generally a good idea to play games with the package manager | 08:49 |
| favro | fsloke: try - when your in the same dir as install - make uninstall | 08:49 |
| Khisanth | favro: those sort of problems haven't actually affected me :) | 08:49 |
| EvaLuaTe | LSD|Ninja: when in ubuntu the light for the wireless doesn't even turn on, i think the device is not recognised properly or smth... | 08:50 |
| morbyte | Kohlrak-Server: me personally, im sometimes able to use compiz, sometimes im not. havent found the cure except stopping use of compiz | 08:50 |
| morbyte | :/ | 08:50 |
| Kohlrak-Server | morbyte: i've found that it causes flicker, maybe i'll be lucky for once today and this'll work | 08:50 |
| Kohlrak-Server | i wish i could see this terminal window as well (don't know what the heck is wrong with it... for some reason the font in the terminal is twice as big as it should be, so my screen doesn't scroll with it) | 08:51 |
| Kohlrak-Server | oh well, it should be uninstalling | 08:51 |
| favro | Kohlrak-Server: bad resolution? | 08:52 |
| domas | hi! is there a standard way to purge APT package archive, or has that to be done manually? how can one disable the archive entirely? | 08:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | EvaLuaTe: The activity light/killswitch are usually software controlled. If they don't work then that doesn't necessarily mean the card isn't working. If Ubuntu is telling you it's using the Atheros HAL for it then chances are it's working fine. Check with the Network Manager to make sure. | 08:52 |
| Kohlrak-Server | favro: yulp, but in the terminal =p | 08:52 |
| morbyte | Mahrellon: thanks for your suggestions :) although im quite confident theres no option for that stuff in the bios i go digging for it (and for an alternate bios) | 08:52 |
| Mahrellon | morbyte: You're most welcome m8. Hope you find a solution for it :) | 08:52 |
| wols | domas: apt-get clean. no way to disable that I know of | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | domas: perhaps you want 'apt-get clean'. check man apt-get for that and for 'autoclean' | 08:53 |
| wols | domas: run a cronjob once per day or so | 08:53 |
| Kohlrak-Server | oh this can't be good... now my panels in gnome are gone... all i did was try to make sure my drawing was off the buffer and it turned into a few years long tyrade looking for the things | 08:53 |

| merike | hello, I need help getting wired internet working, anyone? | 10:08 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: also with /etc/fstab to see where its located my swap on my disk.. and it appears as NONE.. | 10:08 |
| artemis | prince_jammys: why shouldn't i install tar files? | 10:08 |
| mespejel_ | im confused | 10:08 |
| f00li5h | meow | 10:08 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: btw, here is the link again http://paste.ubuntu.com/40377/ | 10:08 |
| prince_jammys | artemis: because firefox is available through apt, and it installs, updates, and uninstalls cleanly when you do it with apt-get | 10:09 |
| Starnestommy | artemis: tar files aren't tracked by the package manager | 10:09 |
| ePhil | ArcInversion: how did u find that? I "updated" synaptic but don't find anything with php4, do u have a paketname for me? | 10:09 |
| Regel | how can i Enable ipv6 on ubuntu? | 10:09 |
| AMDFOX | how can i launch cmd in liux | 10:09 |
| ArcInversion | ePhil: php-doc | 10:09 |
| f00li5h | AMDFOX: you want a shell, right? | 10:09 |
| artemis | know i get it thx, but still what shall i do to get anothere lang | 10:09 |
| prabu | hi ppl | 10:09 |
| wtflolz | ArcInversion : does jailbreak works for the new iPhone3G ? | 10:09 |
| prince_jammys | artemis: the last person i talked to needed it in italian, and the locale package worked for him. try removing the firefox you installed, and install it through apt. | 10:10 |
| SitUbuntuSit | Starnestommy, instead of make install, you could install checkinstall and use that. it makes a deb and you can install that way and have the benefit of installing a package. | 10:10 |
| ArcInversion | wtflolz: Yes | 10:10 |
| artemis | i've tried to download it using firefox download plugin, still ain't workin | 10:10 |
| wtflolz | ArcInversion : ok :D | 10:10 |
| prabu | how to install any software in ubuntu ? | 10:10 |
| ePhil | ArcInversion: intresting... thank you | 10:10 |
| artemis | price_jammys: shall i uninstal using syncpac? | 10:10 |
| AMDFOX | how can i do it mr.foolish ? | 10:10 |
| prince_jammys | artemis: i doubt you will be able to, if you installed it manually. | 10:10 |
| artemis | no i haven't | 10:10 |
| ArcInversion | wtflolz: I got an ipod touch, and after much work... I have it hooked up very nicely with Rhythmbox. Don't give up hope, even though it might get a little messy | 10:11 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: "none" is just the options, swap is MOT mounted into the file system | 10:11 |
| artemis | i have firefox installed by ubuntu system installer | 10:11 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: so did you check the pastebin? | 10:11 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: i have a swap partition, then.. isnt? | 10:11 |
| prince_jammys | artemis: oooh. i thought you installed from a tarball | 10:11 |
| artemis | i've download the tar file but didn't do anything with it | 10:11 |
| artemis | prince_jammys: i wanted but i didn't know how :D | 10:12 |
| geek_ | artemis: what locale? | 10:12 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: yes :-), yes, but you could increase its size, as far as I see it | 10:12 |
| prince_jammys | artemis: good. i misunderstood you. | 10:12 |
| artemis | prince_jammys: as this one form tar is with pl.lang | 10:12 |
| BigWorM | artemis > tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz | 10:12 |
| prince_jammys | prabu: there are several ways. look in the menu for 'add/remove programs'. also look at 'synaptic'. there are also ways from the command line. | 10:12 |
| artemis | let's give it a try :) | 10:12 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: what you mean? why specially me? this is not possible for everyone? | 10:12 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: of course, if there is space on your HD left :-) | 10:13 |
| geek_ | artemis: hmm, might wanna give the locale switcher plugin for firefox a shot first... | 10:13 |
| BigWorM | whats a good cli based FTP program that is ez to configure, the home directory for one account needs to be \var\www\ | 10:13 |
| artemis | geek_: i did download it and nothing happened | 10:14 |
| artemis | still eng | 10:14 |
| geek_ | bleh | 10:14 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: what about a swap file? can i mix a swap file wiith the swap partition that i have? | 10:14 |
| Regel | how can i Enable ipv6 on ubuntu? | 10:14 |
| mespejel | mespejel: huh? | 10:14 |
| geek_ | mespejel: ? | 10:14 |
| geek_ | o0 | 10:14 |
| geek_ | wierd | 10:14 |
| mespejel_ | lol i write to myself | 10:15 |
| mespejel_ | sorry | 10:15 |
| favro | Regel: it is enabled by default | 10:15 |
| guntbert | mespejel: I don't know about swap files, but as far as I recall it should be possible, please read about swap (manpage, google) | 10:15 |
| artemis | i know eng a bit, and it's no problem for me to use ff in eng, but it's a challange for me to make it in pol :D | 10:16 |
| ePhil | regel: ifconfig should get u a "inet6 addr" | 10:16 |
| negge | I'm trying to install OCI and for this I need to run the installer script as the "oracle" user, however I can't run any X apps with that user even though the DISPLAY variable is set to the same as my own accounts | 10:17 |
| bazhang | artemis, you want to write in polish or have the menus etc in polish | 10:17 |
| negge | how come this happens and how do I make it work? | 10:17 |
| Regel | ePhil: yea, it says that | 10:17 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: well just let me know then how to extend my swap partition please | 10:17 |
| artemis | bazhang: menu etx | 10:17 |
| Regel | ePhil: but i still cant connect to ipv6 only sites | 10:17 |
| ePhil | regel: this is our IPv6 address - so it is enabled and hopfully working ;) | 10:17 |

| bazhang | artemis, is your ubuntu all in polish? | 10:18 |
| artemis | bazhang: no whole some parts | 10:18 |
| wols | BigWorM: lftp, ncftp | 10:18 |
| artemis | as i have places and in polish it should be miejsca | 10:18 |
| bazhang | artemis, when you installed what language did you choose | 10:19 |
| BigWorM | Thanks wols | 10:19 |
| Regel | could the ipv6 be restricted by my isp | 10:19 |
| artemis | pl | 10:19 |
| ePhil | regel: ok my IPv6 knowlage is short of "non existent" - is your carrier even routing ipv6? | 10:19 |
| wols | mespejel_: you can have as many swap partitions and files as you want | 10:19 |
| Regel | ePhil: no idea | 10:19 |
| ArcInversion | artemis: sudo apt-get mozilla-firefox-locale-pl-pl | 10:19 |
| Regel | propably not | 10:19 |
| bazhang | artemis, so writing is no problem? ie for google searches etc | 10:19 |
| barrie | hello | 10:19 |
| negge | groups | 10:19 |
| negge | oops | 10:19 |
| mespejel_ | wols: how this works?.. if i need partition.. first it will detect the swap partition and if i need more it will use the swap file? | 10:20 |
| artemis | bazhang: no, i only whant menu in pl :D | 10:20 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: use gparted to see, if there is space left on your HD, I doubt it, but numbers are sometimes .... | 10:20 |
| bazhang | artemis, then I think you have to install the locale language files from synaptic | 10:20 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: why you doubt there is any space? :S | 10:20 |
| ePhil | regel: "ip route show" do you have a route for ipv6 paketes? | 10:20 |
| artemis | hm i will give it a try | 10:20 |
| artemis | once more :) | 10:20 |
| artemis | brb | 10:20 |
| ArcInversion | artemis: The file you need is mozilla-firefox-locale-pl-pl | 10:20 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: of course i have a lot of space lol | 10:21 |
| artemis | shit :D | 10:21 |
| artemis | works :D | 10:21 |
| Regel | ePhil: nope, doesnt seem like it | 10:21 |
| artemis | omg :D thx people i'm so fu.... dummy :D | 10:21 |
| artemis | works | 10:21 |
| artemis | you're the best :* | 10:21 |

| guntbert | mespejel_: well your HD has 64.4 GB, the your /dev/sda1 with ~62 GB , there is not a lot free ? | 10:23 |
| guntbert | then* | 10:23 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: 62 is enough for linux | 10:23 |
| ePhil | regel: I'm devinitly lacking experince here: i would suggest figuring out how routing in ipv6 works and if your isp is even accepting ipv6 paketes. sorry i can't be of more help | 10:23 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: cause my host os is osx | 10:23 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: with 190gb | 10:23 |
| Regel | ePhil: well, thanks anyway, at least i know where to start now :) | 10:24 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: i dont save music or videos here | 10:24 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: to learn about linux and some apps.. i dont need more than that,, i guess | 10:25 |
| cacahuatepodrido | wuuuuu | 10:25 |
| ePhil | regel: again sorry but i have to play with php4 now :( | 10:25 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: 62 is certainly enough 4 linux, but you need unused space to increase your swap partition | 10:25 |
| Cyrific | Hello, does anyone know how i can speed up sendmail. it is really slow for me | 10:25 |

| rdz | hi all. how to reset the spam filter of evolution? it marks even more non-spam mails as spams than real spam mails | 10:25 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: yes i know guntbert.. btw im using just 2gb.. for linux.. maybe 1.5 is enough for swap? | 10:26 |
| mespejel_ | cause im using my other 2gb for host.. i dont want osx to swap.. thats why | 10:26 |
| mespejel_ | im using vmware btw | 10:26 |

| j800r | thanks dude | 10:27 |
| mespejel_ | wols: really? | 10:28 |
| wols | Cyrific: are you using sendmail or something else? and slow how? | 10:28 |
| mespejel_ | wols: i read that before.. i also read that i could use swappiness at level 10 | 10:28 |

| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||

| Cyrific | wols: i am using sendmail, it is slow to start and executing a script to send a message | 10:29 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: wols is right, in any case pastebin the output of free and we talk about it | 10:29 |
| wols | Cyrific: why sendmail? | 10:30 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: maybe vmware made the partition for me? but i highly doubt that.. anyway, this is very weird, i never indicate that swap partition, maybe cause i didnt use manual installation.. ubuntu installer made it by default? | 10:30 |
| Cyrific | wols: that is what was recommended to me for use with php mail function | 10:31 |
| BigWorM | mespejel_ > the swap partition is similar to a windows page file. | 10:31 |

| cacahuatepodrido | VIVA LINUX | 10:32 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: look at the last line - swap used = 0, so no swap is used at the moment, no need to incresae :-)) | 10:33 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: obviously, im just using amarok and irc chat | 10:34 |
| mespejel_ | guntbert: but sometimes i use many apps | 10:34 |
| wols | mespejel_: filling 2GB is _hard_ | 10:34 |
| guntbert | mespejel_: for the moment leave it alone :-) | 10:34 |
| mespejel_ | wols: all right.. i will just leave it as it | 10:35 |
| mespejel_ | by the way.. out of topic.. i have the option to use 1 or 2 of my processors (i have core duo).. and i dont feel any difference | 10:35 |
| mespejel_ | ubuntu runs good with just 1 | 10:36 |
| Cyrific | wols: i get, libmail-sendmail-perl 0.79-4, sendmail, sendmail-base, sendamil-bin, sendmail-cd, 8.14.2-2build1 | 10:36 |
| wols | scuser: apt-cache search lustre | 10:36 |
| wols | Cyrific: bad. very bad | 10:36 |
| wols | Cyrific: never ever use sendmail. ever | 10:36 |
| wols | use exim4 or postfix. and yes, php works fine with them | 10:36 |
| KillGuta | wait a minute... ubuntu runs only with 1 core? | 10:37 |
| KillGuta | I mean its not using my 2nd one right now? | 10:37 |
| wols | sendmail is very complicated and not usable for normal people. only professional mail admins use sendmail. they need it, you don't | 10:37 |
| wols | KillGuta: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 10:37 |
| Cyrific | wols: i will try postfix. is there a special path i need to put into php.ini? | 10:38 |
| wols | Cyrific: no | 10:38 |
| mespejel_ | Sadly, vmware is making me ignorant and lazy lol.. with all this tools.. the first time i install ubuntu using dual boot.. nothing worked... mighty mouse, bluetooth keyboard.. not even sound or wifi.. there is a way to fix this.. but i was to lazy.. then i try vmware and everything worker out of the box lol | 10:38 |

| Rob | yeah the top panel | 11:10 |
| icedwater | Are you using Gnome? | 11:10 |

| favfro | .gtkrc-mine is the file to do that | 11:10 |

| franco | grazie a te | 11:18 |
| icedwater | adimov_: OK... where is your windows partition? Try checking "ls /dev/sda*" | 11:18 |
| franco | nada | 11:18 |
| icedwater | How many partitions do you have? | 11:18 |
| adimov_ | ok | 11:18 |
| favfro | franco: /j #ubuntu-it | 11:19 |
| adimov_ | /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 | 11:19 |
| icedwater | adimov_, I believe someone suggested "sudo fdisk -l" earlier. Try that? It should confirm that your /dev/sda2 is the Windows partition. | 11:20 |
| adimov_ | let's check | 11:20 |
| SrinivasV | : | 11:21 |
| adimov_ | /dev/sda1 * 1 4775 38355156 83 Linux | 11:22 |

| geek_ | adimov_: next time use pastebin ;) | 11:23 |
| geev | hi to everybody in the room | 11:23 |
| * icedwater smiles at adimov_ :) | 11:23 | |
| Seveas | AdmiralNDP, there are no windows partitions there :) | 11:23 |
| prada | I can not figure out how to install software using terminal | 11:23 |
| Seveas | adimov_* | 11:23 |
| adimov_ | what's pastebin> | 11:23 |
| Seveas | prada, sudo apt-get install name_of_package_here | 11:23 |
| icedwater | That's funny, though, I thought sda2 would be the Windows one. | 11:24 |
| prada | so it would look like this | 11:24 |
| icedwater | adimov_, check out www.pastebin.com :) | 11:24 |
| adimov_ | ok | 11:24 |
| icedwater | It allows you to paste stuff online so everyone can see... and it should expire after a certain given time | 11:24 |
| prada | sudo apt-get install swftools-2008-08-21-2105 | 11:24 |
| icedwater | Guys: would doing an update-grub solve adimov_'s problem by automatically inserting the Windows partition? | 11:25 |
| prada | thats how it is saved on my desktop | 11:25 |
| favfro | !paste | adimov_ | 11:25 |
| ubottu | adimov_: 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) | 11:25 |
| Seveas | icedwater, no. There *is* no windows partition | 11:25 |
| adimov_ | so my windows partitions are gone for good! | 11:26 |
| Seveas | adimov_: I guess you overwrote windows when installing ubuntu | 11:26 |
| Anderson4 | how can i disable cleartype in Firefox 3 (Ubuntu 8.04)? | 11:26 |
| icedwater | Seveas: thought so too... but if adimov_ is right, then he should have had some Windows partition that isn't there any more? | 11:26 |
| Seveas | adimov_, or do you have a second harddisk? | 11:26 |
| adimov_ | no i have no second harddisk | 11:26 |
| Seveas | adimov_, then your windows partitions are gone. | 11:26 |
| icedwater | adimov_, do you have the Ubuntu live CD? | 11:26 |
| prada | whoohoo ! i think i figured it out..thanks Seveas | 11:27 |
| icedwater | You could boot with it and see what partitions are automatically detected. | 11:27 |
| adimov_ | no, i don't think so just something alternative or so | 11:27 |
| icedwater | adimov_: I see, you downloaded the alternate install disc image? What did you do when you upgraded to 8.04? | 11:29 |
| === longs|eep is now known as longsleep | ||
| icedwater | If you did an online upgrade, it shouldn't have touched the partitions at all.. if you used the CD, then you might have formatted them away. | 11:29 |
| === favfro is now known as favro | ||
| * geek_ notes if its a freshly formatted disk you MAY be able to recover the old partitions with testdisk off the livecd | 11:30 | |
| adimov_ | i started download and install and than when on install it stopped and 12 minutes left and i had to unplug | 11:30 |
| geek_ | if thats what you want | 11:30 |
| Anderson4 | does somebody know how to disable cleartype in Firefox 3 (Ubuntu 8.04)? | 11:30 |
| steviejks | hello | 11:31 |
| adimov_ | than it won't work any more ubuntu than i reinstalled 7.10 | 11:31 |
| steviejks | can anybody help me on rtorrent ? | 11:31 |
| matiu | I'm trying to get wpa going using gnome network manager and it's like it's ignoring my password...Any suggestions appreciated.. | 11:32 |
| icedwater | adimov_, so you | 11:32 |
| favro | Anderson4: you can click on edit>preferences.content>fonts&colors/advanced and select fonts | 11:32 |
| icedwater | adimov_, so you're saying you downloaded all the packages and began to install stuff... and you had to stop halfway? Then you reinstalled 7.10 using a CD after that, I guess? | 11:32 |
| adimov_ | yes | 11:33 |
| The-Compiler | What's going on here? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391557/ | 11:33 |
| icedwater | adimov_, I guess then it must have been something you did with 7.10 - try to recall what you did when you installed that? | 11:34 |
| adimov_ | than i could not boot again into another system option | 11:34 |
| H0T_R0D | question i was wondering if i can just download packages from the universe with out installing them? | 11:35 |
| adimov_ | i did something with partitioning stuff like erase a partition and reinstall 7.10 there, but i thought it was the previous linux partition i erased | 11:36 |
| Valcyon | The-Compiler, try to use "sudo" in front of the command: sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us | 11:36 |
| adimov_ | not the windows ones | 11:36 |
| icedwater | adimov_, I think that might have been it, then, you could have erased your Windows partition. | 11:37 |
| Seveas | H0T_R0D, apt-get -d install foobar | 11:37 |
| Seveas | -d means download-only | 11:37 |
| GL-san | if your windows partition is still there, you should be able to see it from ubuntu | 11:37 |
| H0T_R0D | where will the packages be saved to by default? | 11:37 |
| GL-san | if you can still see it, then the problem is your grub | 11:37 |
| GL-san | if ubuntu can't see it, you probably deleted it | 11:38 |
| H0T_R0D | and will apt-get -d install foobar get the dependencies ? | 11:39 |
| Valcyon | H0T_R0D, packages are saved by default in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 11:40 |
| Valcyon | it will download the debendencies also | 11:41 |

| Guest74833 | dear adimov just try what drive u want to install | 11:43 |
| icedwater | adimov_, too bad about the Windows stuff... sorry it took so long to find you an answer :P | 11:43 |
| icedwater | adimov_, you will probably have to reinstall everything from scratch. Windows's bootloader is known to be nasty to other bootloaders.. after you install Windows, you won't be able to boot Ubuntu I think. Not sure how to get around that. | 11:44 |
| adimov_ | it's ok, i had a lot of personal stuff on it and now they are gone, but this is life and computers | 11:44 |
| apastinen | hi, how can i prevent mlocate to index hidden (.*) files? | 11:44 |

| alokito | adimov_: boot with ubuntu live cd and re-install grub | 11:45 |
| Guest74833 | do u wanna ur data back ? | 11:45 |
| icedwater | Maybe you can just install Windows on a spare partition, then boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD and install grub onto your MBR? | 11:45 |

| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, I've done, I will restart firefox | 12:45 |
| wols | execute: and fix your apache logging | 12:45 |

| hackel | How can I pin packages to a specific archive in apt preferences? It seems to ignore my o=xx line, and no "Releases" file is being downloaded. | 12:45 |
| execute | wols, ok, I'll go to #apache to fix that and come back here | 12:46 |
| wols | zSoilworker: which one do you want to format? | 12:46 |
| uncle | favro, alokito : problem still exists | 12:46 |
| zSoilworker | wols: everything but sd6 - sda7, in wich i have Ubuntu. | 12:47 |

| wols | zSoilworker: format or remove them? | 12:47 |
| alokito | uncle: try file>> change device>> Alsa Mixer | 12:47 |
| uncle | i read from online forums that onboard card disabling might help you but not worked. | 12:47 |
| zSoilworker | wols: i want to be able to use them as storage. | 12:47 |
| alokito | or is that already selected? | 12:47 |
| uncle | alokito, changed not worked | 12:47 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, didn't work | 12:47 |
| alokito | ok | 12:47 |
| favro | uncle: go back one kernel :) | 12:48 |
| wols | zSoilworker: that doesn't answer my question | 12:48 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: add a non existing eth in /etc/network/interfaces | 12:48 |
| alokito | oh the problem appeared after a kernel update? :-/ | 12:48 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, should be "True" instead if "False"? | 12:48 |
| zSoilworker | wols: Remove them, and then be able to create a new one, altogheter | 12:48 |
| alokito | uncle: have any ubuntu testing update repo enabled? | 12:48 |
| wols | zSoilworker: cfdisk and remove them | 12:48 |

| x-X-x | i have a shell script which in its properties says link to: /usr/local/games/whatever. | 12:49 |
| alokito | ok | 12:49 |
| MikeSeth | you probably want cfdisk, sfdisk is not a beginner tool | 12:49 |

| g0r8y | Every time i get dhcp'ed (on wired or wireless interfaces) an address nothing from that network is reachable. This problem isnt affecting other clients on the same network so I belive its some kind of routeing problem but dont have much exp troubleshooting that. Could some one gimme a hand, or point me to a relevant channel | 12:50 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, yes | 12:50 |
| x-X-x | pici and mikeseth u have won the internets. thnx dudes | 12:50 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: add a inexisting device to /etc/network/interfaces, | 12:51 |
| MikeSeth | g0r8y: most likely default gateway isnt being set | 12:51 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: something like iface eth205 inet dhcp | 12:51 |
| MikeSeth | g0r8y: paste the output of ``ip route'' after dhcp | 12:51 |
| uncle | anyway thanks. | 12:51 |
| uncle | problem still remains. | 12:51 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, okay | 12:51 |
| g0r8y | Mike: yes i think its related to that - route on its own just hangs and makes no output. | 12:52 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, done | 12:52 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: restart. | 12:52 |
| execute | ok, I got it working | 12:53 |
| zSoilworker | I've had a corrupt GRUB when i uninstalled XP, so, i searched around, and came up with a solution ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/40407/ ) that solved the problem, but now, when i use gparted, gpart, i only see the hd without the partitions, and "unnasigned", although i can mount this partitions and access them. Now i want to use them since i don't have any space left in the current partition i'm using. If anyone, has any ideas, i'll be | 12:53 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, didn't work either | 12:53 |
| execute | another question - can I tell it to send me an email every time someone connects ? | 12:53 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: Restart your system for further security | 12:53 |
| zSoilworker | and remove the line we've created before | 12:54 |
| execute | I mean, every time someone attempts to login, to email me with the username, ip and time ? | 12:54 |

| JMAC_17 | HALP!! I broke it | 12:55 |
| JMAC_17 | :'( | 12:55 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: and gparted doesnt see any of this? | 12:55 |
| zSoilworker | JMAC_17: That's the spirit. | 12:55 |
| JMAC_17 | lol thxs | 12:55 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: No, just sees the sda, and marks it as unnasigned. | 12:56 |
| wols | zSoilworker: did I tell you to use gparted? | 12:56 |
| milligan_ | I'm having a problem with osTicket not downloading emails in specified support accounts. Anyone seen that kind of behavior before? | 12:56 |
| JMAC_17 | so, who wants to help a windows power user who just bought a linux loaded laptop, then tried to install wicd and it broke network manager? | 12:56 |
| zSoilworker | wols: That's something i've tried before. | 12:56 |
| wols | zSoilworker: and? | 12:56 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: it appears your partition table is corrupt | 12:56 |
| JMAC_17 | anybody...? | 12:56 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: Yes, so, how should i fix it? | 12:57 |
| pajamian | JMAC_17: what is wicd? | 12:57 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: /dev/sda2 is smaller than all partitions under it | 12:57 |
| JMAC_17 | wicd is supposed to be a better network manager | 12:57 |
| JMAC_17 | but instead it didn't fully install after it uninstalled network manager | 12:57 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: Yes, and i have no idea why is set as the primary partition. | 12:58 |
| JMAC_17 | and i can't use synaptic because it can't connect to reinstall the network manager | 12:58 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, didn't work | 12:58 |
| wols | MikeSeth: sda2 is a primary partition. there are no partitions inside of sda2 | 12:58 |
| JMAC_17 | now i'm dl'ing a ubuntu 8.04 cd and gonna try and reinstall network manager off of it | 12:58 |
| JMAC_17 | :'( | 12:58 |
| defconner | JMAC_17: what about using apt? | 12:58 |
| JMAC_17 | apt? | 12:58 |
| MikeSeth | wols: then what are sda5 etc? | 12:58 |

| ubottu | JMAC_17: 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 | 12:58 |
| pajamian | JMAC_17: do you have the live cd? | 12:58 |
| defconner | JMAC_17: yeah, pop open the terminal | 12:58 |
| defconner | JMAC_17: apt-get install network-manager | 12:58 |
| wols | MikeSeth: logical partitions inside a extended partition | 12:58 |
| MikeSeth | wols: and the extended partition for them is..? | 12:59 |
| JMAC_17 | defconner: open | 12:59 |
| wols | MikeSeth: sda1 is the extended partition | 12:59 |
| z- | What if i do not install boot loader into hd0? Will the system boot? | 12:59 |
| wols | MikeSeth: sda1 | 12:59 |
| milligan_ | defconner, if he doesn't have a netconnection, apt isn't going to do much either. Synaptics is just a frontend to apt. | 12:59 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: do you use network-manager? | 12:59 |
| MikeSeth | wols: then why is it marked as NTFS? | 12:59 |
| amanulla | for setting up a dail up connection how to connect pppo via modem | 12:59 |
| MikeSeth | err, W95 | 12:59 |
| wols | MikeSeth: cause it'S a primary partition? | 13:00 |
| pajamian | JMAC_17: enable the repository on the live CD, it has the network manager on that. | 13:00 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, yes, I use. ppp0 | 13:00 |
| milligan_ | JMAC_17, NetworkManager is just a GUI for configuring your network interface. configure it manually, then use apt (or the synaptics frontend) to reinstall NetworkManager. | 13:00 |
| JMAC_17 | defconner & milligan_: terminal reads, E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock- open (13 permission denied) | 13:00 |
| pajamian | JMAC_17: then apt or synaptics should be able to install it. | 13:00 |
| milligan_ | JMAC_17, sudo <command> | 13:00 |
| zSoilworker | rafaelscj: Do you use 0.7? | 13:00 |
| MikeSeth | wols: it can't be primary and extended at the same time | 13:00 |
| milligan_ | JMAC_17, makes you run it as super user. | 13:00 |
| JMAC_17 | oops yeah, forgot the sudo | 13:00 |
| JMAC_17 | lol thxs | 13:00 |
| defconner | sudo make me a sandwich | 13:00 |
| wols | MikeSeth: it isn't. sda1 is a extended, sda2 is a ntfs primary | 13:00 |
| rafaelscj | zSoilworker, 0.6.6 | 13:00 |

| amanulla | for setting up a dail up connection how to connect pppo via modem? | 13:04 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: yep. The correct cure would be to rearrange partitions, which means drive names will change | 13:04 |

| oesse | f00li5h: simply do not deliver to Maildir | 13:04 |

Pastebin of "ip route" and "route" here http://pastebin.com/m6b2b6385 although route failsto complete | 13:06 |

| oesse | f00li5h: how_??? | 13:10 |
| EvaLuaTe | wols: i don't know, it's an Asus X51RL laptop, and ubuntu says that the device drivers are 'Atheros Hardware Access Layer' and 'Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards.' | 13:10 |
| milligan_ | Jmac_18, press the computer at the top of your desktop, then press "manual configuration". Then go from there. | 13:10 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: My idea is the following(?), to delete the partitions i don't need, and set sda6(ubuntu) as boot | 13:10 |
| f00li5h | oesse: tell your webmail to connect to the IMAP server | 13:10 |
| oesse | f00li5h: ho but HOW??? there is no documentation about it | 13:10 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: you need to rearrange order of the partition table | 13:11 |
| Jmac_18 | milligan_: the computers went away when i tried to install wicd | 13:11 |
| milligan_ | Jmac_18, they should be back if you reinstall network manager and booted? | 13:11 |

| kannon | hello, i have a 1.5GB RAM on mi pc but ubuntu only show 900MB, is this normal? | 13:11 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: the way it's built now, you have a hole in the extended partition through which a primary one is sticking out | 13:11 |
| f00li5h | oesse: perhpas you should use a webmail that isn't designed to be run with another MTA, there are plenty of webmails that will speak IMAP | 13:11 |
| kannon | i have xen in this server | 13:11 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: you can, in Linux, but I cant guarantee that Windows wont break if its drive name changes | 13:11 |
| Jmac_18 | milligan_: nope :'( and the school is capping my download at like 177bps which is slowing it down soooo bad | 13:12 |
| oesse | f00li5h: so what do you suggest? | 13:12 |
| MikeSeth | g0r8y: the line with ESS ID is enough | 13:12 |

| * zSoilworker onboard and card is just for fun(?) | 13:13 | |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: reading, I'm not sure, but play with sfdisk to get a sense of how the partition table is arranged. I bet gparted is confused because /dev/sda2 is stuck in the middle of /dev/sda1 | 13:13 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: il stfudisk then. | 13:13 |

| seiya | I have a Compaq F500 laptop running Ubuntu. A couple of times a day it completely freezes up. No mouse, no keyboard, can't ctrl+alt+backspace, or anything like that. I have booted my laptop with the "noapic nolapic acpi=off pnpbios=off" boot options. I'm not exactly sure what means but when I boot using those I don't get the freezing. This can't be a permanent solution because with these boot options Ubuntu doesn't detect my battery, I can't lower my screen | 13:22 |
| seiya | brightness, my fans sound like they're running at full speed, and my wireless no longer works. I think it might be the proprietary Nvidia or Broadcom drivers I'm using. I have tried both the Nvidia driver included in the default repositories and the updated one with EnvyNG and I get the lock-ups with both. This computer had been running 7.04 flawlessly, so I'm thinking about trying 7.10. Anyone have any other solution I could try before giving up on 8.04? | 13:22 |

| g0r8y | Everytime i get dhcp'ed (on wired or wireless interfaces) an address nothing from that network is reachable. This problem isnt affecting other clients on the same network so I belive its some kind of routeing problem but dont have much exp troubleshooting that. Could some one gimme a hand? output of ip route and route here http://pastebin.com/m6b2b6385 although route on its own hangs | 13:22 |

| smelia1 | f00li5h : but from my laptop i can control windows xp thats in desktop | 13:23 |
| f00li5h | smelia1: i'm confused | 13:23 |
| _NiC | pici, I've installed mysql from a binary-package into /usr/local/mysql, and have thus added /usr/local/mysql/bin to PATH and /usr/local/mysql/man as a manpath-mapping in /etc/manpath.config | 13:23 |
| f00li5h | smelia1: you are now running ubunto on your desktop (that used to run windows)? | 13:24 |
| smelia1 | f00li5h : im runing Ubuntu on my desktop and my laptop ( i want control laptop from desktop ) my desktop remote is off now and on in laptop | 13:24 |
| g0r8y | Ill try after lunch me thinks | 13:25 |
| f00li5h | smelia1: so, you have enabled remote control lon the laptop? | 13:25 |
| smelia1 | f00li5h : yeah | 13:26 |
| f00li5h | smelia1: and you have vncviewer on the desktop? | 13:26 |
| smelia1 | f00li5h : yeah is it remote desktop viewer right? | 13:26 |
| f00li5h | smelia1: sure | 13:26 |
| Pici | _NiC: try sudo -s then | 13:26 |
| MikeSeth | g0r8y: and that is the correct WLAN? ytl_east? | 13:27 |
| _NiC | pici, still not working. I'll google a bit. | 13:27 |
| smelia1 | f00li5h : i went to connect >> host find and i found my laptop but when i connect to it i got this Connection to host "jassim-laptop.local:5900" was closed. | 13:27 |
| MikeSeth | g0r8y: also pay attention to this: "rx invalid nwid:13615" | 13:28 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: I could really use a hand. | 13:28 |
| f00li5h | did the laptop ask if it should allow the user to connect? | 13:28 |

| rom1v | to decompress (or compress) .7z files (open source format, very good compression) | 13:29 |

| spasticteapot | Any suggestions? | 13:30 |
| smelia1 | f00li5h : laptop remote desktop prefrece >> allow other to view desktop and allow to control it thats what i marked / in advanced i marked only allow local connection + use an alternative port 5900 | 13:30 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: save it somewhere aside | 13:30 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: Aside, like in a cd? | 13:30 |
| favro | kannon: in terminal - the command free has a line that starts -/+ buffers/cache: - it tells about the mem better | 13:30 |

| osfameron | but it's better for streams than VLC (which is just rubbish with the error (non)reporting) | 13:48 |
| osfameron | gaurav: skype works fine for me. Well, "fine" not exactly, as linux audio works or doesn't according to its own special rules. But it often works fine | 13:49 |

| MikeSeth | IdleOne: I dont understand what you just said | 13:52 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: so i should "order" them | 13:52 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: either way, the simplest thing I can think of is this | 13:52 |
| IdleOne | MikeSeth: yeah I see why. sorry | 13:52 |

| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: what I would do is delete sda1, and create a smaller extended partition on sda1 which covers the physical space before the beginning of sda2 | 13:54 |
| IdleOne | MikeSeth: touchpad and wifi mouse both enabled at same time. Joy! | 13:54 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: then I would create sda3, which begins after end of sda2 and covers the rest of the disk | 13:54 |
| gaurav | anyhelp please | 13:54 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: so, /dev/sda5 would become a part of /dev/sda1, and sda6-8 will become sda3 | 13:55 |
| adilson | how do i remove idesk from source ive just tried sudo make distclean but it is still installed? | 13:55 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: i'll start by deleting sda1 | 13:55 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: can i do this with cfdisk? | 13:55 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: since sda1 will only contain sda5, maybe it makes sense to create sda1 as a primary partition with the same size as current sda5 | 13:56 |
| Jmac_16 | idleone:i think i figured out how to get the icon back, | 13:56 |
| Jmac_16 | idleone: i installed the gnome frontend for network manager | 13:56 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: probably, but I cant guarantee it will behave correctly | 13:56 |
| zSoilworker | MikeSeth: Wait, i'm getting confused, i'll start by deleting sda1 | 13:56 |
| MikeSeth | zSoilworker: your best bet would be editing a copy of the partition table dump and load it back with sfdisk (see also sfdisk -n) | 13:56 |
| Jmac_16 | idleone: so now my wired connections work but not my wifi | 13:56 |

| geev | djhash but lamp is not in my computer so i suppose to install it now is it? | 14:47 |
| djhash | geev: yup.. you can use Synaptic to install it.. its easy.. | 14:48 |
| madrid_ | Hola estoy probando MAX4.0 | 14:49 |
| wols | !es | madrid_ | 14:49 |
| ubottu | madrid_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 14:49 |
| djhash | geev: LAMP stands for Linux Apache Mysql PHP (or Perl or Python).. just go to synaptic and install each one.. not sure if there is a single package in the repos that bundles them together.. | 14:50 |
| madrid_ | OK I understandd | 14:50 |
| bcochofel | where can I find localeconf for hardy? | 14:50 |
| geev | <djhash> i found more than one package on synaptic package which shall i select to install | 14:50 |
| bcochofel | Everywhere I read on google search results to change system language I see localeconf, but doesn't exist | 14:51 |
| bcochofel | at least in hardy | 14:51 |
| adimov | Hi again | 14:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | is ubuntu 8.04's kernel a recent one? | 14:51 |
| adimov | how do i install an rpm? | 14:52 |
| FD_F | adimov: rpm is redhat/fedora package | 14:52 |
| gaintsura | is it possible to configure brightness/color on cheese? | 14:53 |
| Pici | !lamp > geev | 14:53 |
| ubottu | geev, please see my private message | 14:53 |
| geev | <djhash i used search then i found evolution, lampython, lavaps and libtext-grob.perl | 14:53 |
| djhash | geev: none.. just install apache2, php5 and mysql-server-5.0 | 14:53 |
| adimov | so how do i install an rpm? | 14:54 |
| Pici | adimov: Preferably, you don't. | 14:54 |
| djhash | !rpm | adimov\ | 14:54 |
| nesw | !rpm | 14:54 |
| ubottu | adimov\: 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) | 14:54 |
| adimov | am i connected or what? | 14:54 |
| sudobash | no | 14:54 |
| sudobash | use alien to install rpm: sudo alien -i file.rpm | 14:55 |
| sudobash | sudo apt-get install alien | 14:55 |
| sudobash | first | 14:55 |
| adimov | why there are 2 freenode tabs | 14:55 |
| sudobash | ....... | 14:56 |
| imarink | looooooooool | 14:56 |
| imarink | mac,mac,mac... jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. | 14:56 |
| Pici | adimov: I highly recommend looking for your package in the repository or installing from a .deb | 14:56 |
| wols | sudobash: don't. alien will most times wreck your package management | 14:57 |
| wols | if you must use rpms, convert to tgz and unpack those | 14:57 |
| sudobash | alien seems to work great for me wols | 14:57 |
| bullfroghrr | just installed 8.04 64 bit and my sound just quit after about 6 hours | 14:57 |
| wols | adimov: what do you want to install from that rpm? | 14:57 |
| djhash | adimov: you are connected twice | 14:58 |
| geev | <djhash so i have to install each separate apache2 php5 and my sql which should start | 14:58 |
| adimov | i want to install a flash plug-in for opera | 14:59 |
| Next1 | My computer shuts down with no warning usually in the morning. The syslog shows this .Aug 25 08:16:24 hardy syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart. I have no idea what is happening. How can I figure out what is causing this? | 14:59 |

| jd_wax | hello? | 15:03 |
| roger_padactor | where and what do i tell it to load index.php or index.html | 15:03 |
| jmichelse1 | !hi | 15:03 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:03 |
| Speedy | roger_padactor, you need tell apache config to go to index.php by default | 15:03 |
| hlfshell | where do i go to change settings for multiple monitors in ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| willvdl | hey all. This a good channel for help with a minimal install? | 15:04 |

| djhash | !install | jb_in_nyc | 15:04 |
| roger_padactor | i have DirectoryIndex set to index.php | 15:04 |

| Speedy | its different if you have ati | 15:04 |
| hlfshell | i think i have a radeon though not an nvidia sudobash | 15:04 |
| sudobash | yeah it is | 15:04 |
| Speedy | ati has a nice gui you can use to sort out dual screen | 15:04 |
| jd_wax | hi, I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure a couple of things out | 15:04 |
| sudobash | just ask jd_wax | 15:05 |
| djhash | roger_padactor: what are you typing in your browser? | 15:05 |
| jd_wax | I'm new to ubuntu and am having trouble running a shell script | 15:05 |
| arno-t | hi all any opensearch gurus around? I'd like to make an opensearch xml file for http://tolkeportalen.no. It's using POST. ideas? | 15:05 |
| Guest40584 | look like all expert sleep dy | 15:05 |
| jd_wax | I'm trying to run JES.sh but nothing is happening | 15:05 |
| Guest40584 | lol | 15:05 |
| sudobash | jd_wax how are trying to run it? | 15:05 |
| Guest40584 | ./JES.sh | 15:05 |
| roger_padactor | www.testcp.com which points to 127.0.0.1 it loads the index of page. but when i add index.php to it it loads fine | 15:05 |
| jb_in_nyc | how do I find out if I should be using FAT32 or NTFS? | 15:05 |
| willvdl | doing a minimal install, basically just using the alt CD, but the debootstrapper seems to give errors | 15:05 |
| sudobash | actually sh JES.sh | 15:05 |
| hlfshell | is there a graphical way to change multiple monitor settings? | 15:06 |
| jd_wax | by double clicking it, ubuntu asks how I want to run it, I click run in terminal, nothing happens | 15:06 |
| djhash | Guest40584: check out the "find" command. "man find" | 15:06 |
| Speedy | hlfshell, you got ati or nvidia? | 15:06 |
| ThexLeopard | is koryo in? | 15:06 |
| sudobash | jd_wax open a terminal and cd to the dir | 15:06 |
| hlfshell | radeon so ati i think. | 15:06 |
| Koryo | ThexLeopard, Hello ^^ | 15:06 |
| === lmr_ is now known as lmr[lunch] | ||
| sudobash | and then type sh JES.sh | 15:06 |
| ThexLeopard | rofl you nearly killed the computer o; | 15:06 |
| sudobash | and make sure you use caps | 15:07 |
| ThexLeopard | i clicked the link and it restarted me | 15:07 |
| Speedy | hlfshell, look in accessproes ati installs a gui there | 15:07 |
| Koryo | ya what? | 15:07 |
| Speedy | *accessories | 15:07 |
| ThexLeopard | i clicked the link and it restarted the computer | 15:07 |
| Koryo | send me the link | 15:07 |
| djhash | roger_padactor: did you restart apache after you added index.php to DirectoryIndex? | 15:07 |
| ThexLeopard | i dont remember it | 15:07 |
| hlfshell | Theres nothing there for something like that though Speedy - do yuo think theres a package i should install? | 15:07 |
| jd_wax | it says JES.sh 12: java: not found | 15:07 |
| Koryo | well i got it from the site lol, i didn't have a problem getting there! | 15:07 |
| franklin | about what time virtualbox support dirx | 15:08 |
| ThexLeopard | anyway i managed to run fixmbr in the end | 15:08 |
| roger_padactor | oooo maybe not ill try that! | 15:08 |
| ThexLeopard | so xp works again | 15:08 |
| sudobash | so you need to install java jd_wax cause your script is trying to use it | 15:08 |
| franklin | what time virtualbox support dirx | 15:08 |
| Speedy | hlfshell, it installed itself when i installed the ati driver | 15:08 |
| sudobash | jre | 15:08 |
| ThexLeopard | im gonna get the grub super cd and hopefully configure grub myself | 15:08 |
| Koryo | cool ^^ | 15:08 |
| jd_wax | right duh, thanks :P | 15:08 |
| hlfshell | then i guess i didnt get the ati driver then. odd. | 15:08 |
| jd_wax | cheers guys | 15:08 |
| roger_padactor | djhash, good call that worked thanks | 15:08 |
| Speedy | did y9ou do it via the restricted drivers manager? | 15:08 |
| franklin | what time virtualbox support dirx | 15:08 |
| djhash | roger_padactor: no problem | 15:08 |
| bitplex | is there something like LTSP but uses the OS installed on the machine? | 15:08 |
| ThexLeopard | on a different note, how much do you know about nvidia cards? | 15:09 |
| hlfshell | i think so Speedy | 15:09 |
| hwilde | bitplex, u might get more response in the #ltsp channel | 15:09 |
| Guest40584 | find link? | 15:09 |
| hlfshell | i wnet to Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 15:09 |
| geek_ | bitplex: 'like' in what way? | 15:09 |
| hlfshell | and it says im using: | 15:09 |
| Koryo | ThexLeopard - there graphics cards xD | 15:09 |
| bitplex | hwilde: thanks | 15:09 |
| liamkmc | howdy | 15:09 |
| hlfshell | ATI accelerated graphics driver | 15:09 |
| liamkmc | howdy ya'll | 15:09 |
| franklin | what time virtualbox support dirx | 15:09 |
| ThexLeopard | i know rofl, but i was interested to find out what ram chips i have on my card | 15:10 |
| ThexLeopard | according to the data sheet | 15:10 |
| ThexLeopard | i should have 128 meg of ram on the card | 15:10 |
| ThexLeopard | but its running at 64 | 15:10 |
| bitplex | i dont want each client to load the os from the server. i want it to boot an os from and disk and present the user with a network login screen. it then fetches the user data from the server to use for that session. | 15:10 |
| sudobash | change your bios settings | 15:10 |
| sudobash | ThexLeopard | 15:10 |
| ThexLeopard | to what? | 15:10 |
| sudobash | there should be a place to change allocation if it is on board nvidia card... | 15:11 |
| estunecle | !modeline | 15:11 |
| ubottu | A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl | 15:11 |
| Next1 | My computer restarts randomly I don't know why. What should I do? | 15:11 |
| sudobash | Nextl check for overheating | 15:11 |
| sudobash | maybe you need to clean your PC? | 15:11 |
| Speedy | Next1, check the heat ? | 15:11 |
| ThexLeopard | i have a very old board, that might be the problem | 15:11 |
| Speedy | when mine did that it was because the cpu heatsink wasnt connected properly | 15:11 |
| sudobash | or update your BIOS firmware Nextl | 15:11 |
| Speedy | so the cpu was overheating | 15:11 |
| Speedy | i'd check the tempo before upgrading the bios | 15:11 |
| Speedy | *temp | 15:12 |
| ThexLeopard | hang on how do you update the bios firmware? | 15:12 |
| sudobash | mine did it from bios being out of date and not using Cool N Quiet | 15:12 |
| sudobash | correctly that is | 15:12 |
| sudobash | if you dont know how to do it check the other stuff first | 15:12 |
| ThexLeopard | so it wouldnt be because i have to run on AGP4 or anything? | 15:12 |
| sudobash | I have seen a CPU fry from heatsink mounted wrong | 15:12 |
| Speedy | sudobash, mine did fry | 15:13 |
| Speedy | after the 12th time it restarted | 15:13 |
| sudobash | I am running AGP8X | 15:13 |
| Speedy | it just fried | 15:13 |
| ThexLeopard | ill have a look in the bios | 15:13 |
| Speedy | it was hitting 92 degrees celcious within 30 secs of booting | 15:13 |
| sudobash | yeah it got super hot | 15:13 |
| Masterkiller | hey i have bluetooth hardware...and i used to be able to hcitool scan but now it instantly comes back with nothing found. anyone know where i might have edited a file to include a bluetooth id? i remember doing it awhile back but now i dont remember where | 15:13 |
| sudobash | damn | 15:13 |
| ThexLeopard | im sure i bought it as a 64 meg card | 15:13 |
| ThexLeopard | its just i have 4 2Mx16Bit chips | 15:13 |
| Speedy | then i realised the heatsink was mounted correctly haha | 15:13 |
| Speedy | cost me a whole new cpu | 15:13 |
| Speedy | stupid mistake, lessonm learned | 15:13 |
| Speedy | *lesson | 15:13 |
| sudobash | what kind of CPU? | 15:14 |
| Speedy | P4 | 15:14 |
| ThexLeopard | alright ill go check now | 15:14 |
| FloodBot2 | Speedy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:14 |
| Next1 | Speedy: No I haven't. It's usually about 30 minutes after I turn it on and syslog says restart | 15:14 |
| Speedy | oh | 15:14 |
| willvdl | I'm building a "command-line install" from alternate CD but it won't install the base system. complains about various debootstrap errors. A standard install works fine. Any pointers as to what the problem might be? | 15:14 |
| Speedy | in that case you have a software issue | 15:14 |
| oskude | Next1, are you probably on a notebook with battery ? | 15:15 |
| sudobash | check your power management settings Nextl | 15:15 |
| bitplex | geek_: any suggestinos | 15:16 |
| geek_ | bitplex: what was the problem again? | 15:16 |
| gaintsura | is there a way to amplify/boost the signal of a built in mic in ubuntu? | 15:16 |
| sudobash | so some CPU's have a feature in Power Management that will allow you to optimize for speed instead of power saving and it actually changed core voltage and multiplier i guess cause it went from 1100 Mhz to 2200Mhz each core... | 15:17 |
| gaintsura | sudobash: yes, great programs, but can cause over heating | 15:18 |
| bitplex | geek_: im trying to find a solution similar to ltsp, however instead of fetching the os from the server, it boot the os from disk and only uses the server to fetch the users desktop and data. | 15:18 |
| sudobash | didnt even notice it was on until AMDPWRMON showed 1100 mhz i was like what? | 15:18 |
| geek_ | ahh | 15:18 |
| gaintsura | sudobash: what did you use in ubuntu, I found one for windows for AMD, but not for ubuntu yet | 15:18 |
| sudobash | yeah it can gaintsura | 15:18 |
| geek_ | bitplex: sounds like a job for NFS hosted home directories | 15:19 |
| sudobash | on amd's site they have the AMD Power Monitor for linux you install from tgz | 15:19 |
| sudobash | and it works great | 15:19 |
| adimov | what can i do in synaptic to install flash plug-in | 15:19 |
| gaintsura | ah, right on, must have missed it | 15:19 |
| sudobash | shows you voltaga mhz power saving and cpu usage | 15:19 |
| ThexLeopard | right sudobash i set up the aperture size | 15:19 |
| ThexLeopard | just in case | 15:19 |
| ThexLeopard | if i set the aperture to too big | 15:19 |
| geek_ | bitplex: it should be fairly well documented, but never done it myself ;p | 15:19 |
| ThexLeopard | will it destroy anything? | 15:19 |

| sudobash | ThexLeopard if you have an Nvidia card does it not have a post screen that displays Card Info? | 15:20 |
| adimov | was there but no help | 15:20 |
| sudobash | nope.... not yet but I am sure they exists | 15:20 |
| testmycode019 | hello | 15:20 |
| ThexLeopard | a post screen? you mean after the first one where you can go into setup? | 15:20 |
| sudobash | must be done as Admin though I'm sure | 15:21 |
| sudobash | or System | 15:21 |
| gaintsura | naturally | 15:21 |
| sudobash | no before that | 15:21 |
| sudobash | you should see a screen that tell you info on card and how much ram... For Nvidia mainly.... | 15:21 |

| ThexLeopard | you mean the screen before the boot loader loads? | 15:22 |
| geek_ | bitplex: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html ;) | 15:22 |
| ThexLeopard | comes up with a table of data | 15:22 |
| fsufitch | hey guys i'm having a very weird problem with my nautilus file browsing. I downloaded a bunch of images from deviantart (as .jpg format), but Ubuntu says its mimetype is text/plain. for this reason, i can't double click it to view it, or set it as a desktop image. to view it i need to eog it from the command line, but what's the point of that? | 15:22 |
| sudobash | The first screen that the pc displays after it passes POST | 15:22 |
| sudobash | what is it? | 15:22 |
| ThexLeopard | hang on let me have a look | 15:23 |
| ThexLeopard | and also | 15:23 |
| hyphenated | sudobash: grub, the boot loader? | 15:23 |
| sudobash | what about it? | 15:23 |
| ThexLeopard | oh nevermind | 15:23 |
| hyphenated | the first screen after POST | 15:23 |
| adimov | so installing flash | 15:24 |
| sudobash | no if you are on an Nvidia Graphics Card it should be info on your card at the top and then ram check/CMOS entry, and then grub | 15:24 |
| sudobash | and thats not counting cdrom / usb boot check | 15:24 |
| fsufitch | my question simplified: how to i force ubuntu to give me image/jpeg mimetype for images that it now says are text/plain ? | 15:25 |
| === henry is now known as Guest96896 | ||
| Guest96896 | hi | 15:25 |
| sudobash | adimov what about it? it can be done a few ways but the only one that ever worked for me 100% is the script installer | 15:26 |
| sudobash | it will install for opera/ firefox / knoq and some others | 15:27 |
| franklin | what time virtualbox support dirx | 15:27 |
| wols | fsufitch: mimetype where? | 15:27 |
| fsufitch | okay, my problem is: apparently all the images i own suddenly decided to be text/plain. the only ones that actually work properly are PNGs, since i guess ubuntu recognises them as images | 15:27 |
| wols | fsufitch: #vbox? | 15:27 |
| fsufitch | mimetype as reported by nautilus when i right click the file with properties | 15:27 |
| franklin | yes | 15:27 |
| adimov | sudobash tell me how | 15:27 |

| adimov | to many up and downs but nothing clear | 15:29 |
| adimov | where ubottu | 15:29 |
| sudobash | adimov: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash | 15:30 |
| * nDuff suppresses his urge to jump on people for using text-message shorthand in IRC | 15:30 | |
| sudobash | and download the tar.gz | 15:30 |
| joaopinto | adimov, from the package manager install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:30 |
| ThexLeopard | right theres no screen that tells me about the nvidia card | 15:30 |
| sudobash | some times it doesn't work but it is worth a try first | 15:30 |
| ThexLeopard | the only information page i get is on the x server settings | 15:30 |
| joaopinto | sudobash, do not instruct him to use an external script, the proper way to install flash on Ubuntu is using the repository! | 15:31 |
| ThexLeopard | telling me its a 64meg card | 15:31 |
| wols | ThexLeopard: lspci -nn | 15:31 |
| pauljw | adimov: the instructions are pretty clear on that site, add the multiverse repo ; reload; install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:31 |
| sudobash | well I know that script works 100% of the time | 15:32 |
| joaopinto | sudobash, so does the repository, and that is the recommended procedure | 15:32 |
| ThexLeopard | ok i have a geforce fx5200 card on AGP4 | 15:32 |
| adimov | joaopinto u mean that synaptic stuff | 15:32 |
| ThexLeopard | i already knew that o; | 15:32 |
| ThexLeopard | i want to know how much memory is on it | 15:32 |
| bazhang | sudobash, always better to use the repos first. | 15:32 |
| wols | ThexLeopard: yes but now we know what drivers you can uuse | 15:33 |
| joaopinto | adimov, erm, yes, to install software on ubuntu you use Synaptic | 15:33 |
| ThexLeopard | i know what drivers i need | 15:33 |
| ThexLeopard | i dont know how much memory there is on the card though | 15:33 |
| wols | ThexLeopard: did you use the nvidia driver or the nv one? | 15:33 |
| wols | ThexLeopard: doesn't matter | 15:33 |
| sudobash | the FX 5200 comes in 128 and 256 mb version i believe | 15:33 |
| ThexLeopard | it does | 15:33 |
| sudobash | I have owned 2 | 15:33 |
| sudobash | one of each | 15:33 |
| ThexLeopard | so why is it when i bought mine i thought it was 64 >.< | 15:33 |
| ThexLeopard | so i need nv drivers? | 15:34 |
| adimov | adobe site - tar.gz, rpm, yum - what shall i do with them? | 15:34 |
| sudobash | yeah use the restricted drivers manager | 15:34 |
| wols | adimov: nothing since you're not supposed to even look at them | 15:34 |
| ThexLeopard | it says i have the nvidia corp NV34 GeForce FX5200 | 15:34 |
| sudobash | nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] | 15:35 |
| ThexLeopard | yeah | 15:35 |
| sudobash | i am on the 256 mb version now | 15:35 |
| Meeso | how do I install Sun Java 3D? | 15:35 |
| Meeso | I need it for school | 15:35 |
| ThexLeopard | so i need to uninstall the drivers i have now and install NV drivers instead? | 15:35 |
| sudobash | its a good card and it will last you as long as you surge protect everything going IN to it.... | 15:35 |
| pauljw | adimov: if you don't understand which of those files to use, get out of there and go back to synaptic and follow the instructions i and others have given you to install from the repositories. you'll be in way over your head otherwise. | 15:36 |
| adimov | now i am on synaptic window what shell i do, there is a lot of stuff, how can i find flash | 15:36 |
| Pici | adimov: the package name is flashplugin-nonfree | 15:36 |
| sudobash | my 128 version FX 5200 was fried by an Ionic Charge | 15:36 |
| ThexLeopard | ive had mine years anyway | 15:37 |
| sudobash | over COAX through a TV over Svideo to Video Card... got the TV also | 15:37 |
| Meeso | how do I install Sun Java 3D? | 15:37 |
| ThexLeopard | but i need it to last me sort of two more | 15:37 |
| ThexLeopard | before i buy a new pc | 15:37 |
| oskude | Meeso, whats Java 3D ? | 15:37 |
| sudobash | I had that card for about 4 years before that happened | 15:37 |
| ThexLeopard | had it since like 2001 my computer | 15:37 |
| Meeso | IDK | 15:37 |
| Meeso | I need it for school though | 15:37 |
| ThexLeopard | upgraded virtually every component | 15:37 |
| Meeso | I tried installing with WINE | 15:37 |
| ThexLeopard | aside from fitting a new motherboard | 15:38 |
| Meeso | it still wont recognise it | 15:38 |
| wols | oskude: a 3D api to be used from java | 15:38 |
| oskude | Meeso, well, what ever it is, sounds like a question for sun... | 15:38 |
| sudobash | thats using old SD-RAM of DDR1? | 15:38 |
| wols | Meeso: you must install it to your system Java | 15:38 |
| Meeso | how? | 15:38 |
| mrnick | anybody knows how to install yaacs on ubuntu hardy? | 15:38 |
| sudobash | PC133 | 15:38 |
| ThexLeopard | yeah its PC133 | 15:38 |

| sudobash | I need to upgrade this DDR2 to 800 Mhz instead of 667 | 15:39 |
| wols | sudobash: what is your FSB? | 15:39 |
| ThexLeopard | ive missed all the new motherboard standards and everything | 15:39 |
| adimov | in syn i have only embedded stuff and than gnome desktop stuff, where is flashplugin-nonfree? | 15:39 |

| pauljw | adimov: did you enable the multiverse repository in synaptic and reload as the link instructed you? | 15:40 |
| sudobash | seriously.... | 15:40 |
| oskude | Meeso, if youre running a 64bit system you probably need the -amd64.zip, otherwise the -i586.zip | 15:40 |
| wols | sudobash: seriously, no | 15:40 |

| junglejim | when I go to the PC channel on my TV is works | 15:45 |
| junglejim | but not the HD channel | 15:45 |
| junglejim | PC channel doesnt output sound though | 15:45 |
| AJC_Z0 | junglejim: though it may be complicated by the VGA-DVI. I don't know | 15:45 |
| junglejim | sroecker: i tried all resolutions my comp supports | 15:45 |
| junglejim | AJC_Z0: tried all refresh rates too | 15:46 |
| AJC_Z0 | junglejim: HD signal is very different from N/ATSC | 15:46 |

| Meeso | where do fonts go? | 15:47 |
| junglejim | sroecker: the channels on my TV are "EXT 1, AV, PC, HD" | 15:47 |
| junglejim | which one should I be using? | 15:47 |
| reikalusikka | how to see my computer's configuration | 15:48 |
| junglejim | considering I have a wire hooked up to a DVI-I socket | 15:48 |
| reikalusikka | hardware | 15:48 |
| Gerrit | hmm, doesn't work | 15:48 |
| AJC_Z0 | junglejim: Those would be inputs rather than channels | 15:48 |
| Gerrit | never mind | 15:48 |
| oskude | Meeso, you mean you want to install your own fonts ? i think you can copy them to ~/.fonts and restart X | 15:48 |
| sroecker | junglejim, if you are connecting it with dvi-i you need to use pc | 15:48 |
| junglejim | AJC_Z0: yea inputs sorry | 15:48 |
| junglejim | sroecker: ah so it does work then | 15:48 |
| junglejim | sroecker: but it outputs sound from the normal channels not the laptop | 15:49 |
| AJC_Z0 | If your TV has a "PC" input and it works, then why do you care about HD TV? You can probably display a higher resolution picture than HD | 15:49 |
| AJC_Z0 | Sound doesn't come from a VGA port | 15:49 |
| junglejim | AJC_Z0: it wont play the sound from the laptop | 15:49 |
| junglejim | only pictures | 15:49 |
| AJC_Z0 | Right. If you want sound, then you need to hook up the sound card | 15:49 |
| junglejim | AJC_Z0: damn do I need another wire? | 15:49 |
| sudobash | haha | 15:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | The fact that HDMI can carry sound as well as video is incidental | 15:50 |
| sudobash | i was waiting on someone to say something | 15:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | junglejim: Yes, you need an audio calbe from the sound card to whatever you use for audio - TV, receiver, gramophone, ... | 15:50 |
| Meeso | what is 'X'? | 15:50 |
| Meeso | how do I restart it? | 15:51 |
| junglejim | damn I didn't know it was so complicated | 15:51 |
| junglejim | ah well at least I have the video working | 15:51 |
| junglejim | thanks for the help | 15:51 |
| AJC_Z0 | junglejim: Pictures and noises. It's tricky | 15:51 |
| bytor4232 | Meeso: usually CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will kill your X server. It will log you completely out, so save your changes and close your apps first. | 15:51 |
| sudobash | get a sound system for your laptop | 15:51 |
| reikalusikka | what is the web page where I can paste 500 lines of stuff | 15:51 |
| sudobash | 30 bucks | 15:51 |

| oskude | !upgrade | 16:01 |

| ThexLeopard | who was my motherboard manufactured by now rofl | 16:14 |
| ThexLeopard | i think its asus | 16:14 |
| wols | I doubt the mobo maker still supports your old hardware :) | 16:14 |
| wols | the bios ident string can tell you | 16:14 |
| ThexLeopard | its either asus or asrock | 16:14 |
| Thunderbolt | This xchat is very diffcult | 16:15 |
| ThexLeopard | and i dont think its asrock | 16:15 |
| sudobash | but there should still be a more up to date firmware if his has never been updated | 16:15 |
| heroxbd | I think my problem is not a intrepid one. I installed a 2.6.26 kernel and then my 8.04 stock 2.6.24 stop to function with my ethernet driver. | 16:15 |
| wols | heroxbd: how did you install that kernel exactly? | 16:15 |
| roxy2 | hello | 16:15 |
| pc22 | how do i access xp mydocs on ubuntu live? | 16:15 |
| bazhang | heroxbd, you are using the intrepid kernel so it is #ubuntu+1 | 16:15 |
| pc22 | i can access other folders but not mydocs | 16:15 |
| heroxbd | wols: I wanted the isatap (and ipv6 tunnel)support. | 16:16 |
| bazhang | heroxbd, offtopic here. | 16:16 |
| ThexLeopard | does anyone know a command for finding out the motherboard data on dos | 16:16 |
| wols | heroxbd: that didn't answer my question | 16:16 |

| ThexLeopard | give me the terminal command (: | 16:17 |
| Pici | ThexLeopard: Try ##windows | 16:17 |
| heroxbd | bazhang: no. I don't want to try out 2.6.26. I only want to know why my stock kernel stops functioning. | 16:17 |
| wols | heroxbd: answer my question then | 16:17 |
| ThexLeopard | anyone know the command for finding out motherboard data on ubuntu? | 16:18 |
| Pici | ThexLeopard: sudo lshw might give you that info | 16:19 |
| sudobash | lspci will list devices connected | 16:19 |
| ThexLeopard | ok | 16:19 |
| ThexLeopard | now to restart | 16:19 |
| heroxbd | wols: Actually. My pure 8.04 is running well. Then I wanted the isatap ipv6 support. So I went and fetched a 2.6.26 kernel and the ipv6 support is ok. Then I wonder if the 2.6.24 can do with isatap (it is supposed to be in the kernel since 2.6.25). So I rebooted into the 2.6.24 kernel, and found the ethernet stops functioning. | 16:20 |
| heroxbd | wols: however I plug on and off the wire, the 2.6.24 system says "eth0 Link not ready." | 16:21 |
| jassim | back | 16:21 |
| heroxbd | wols: But I can't find any clue how my operations effected the old, pure 8.04 system. | 16:21 |

| MIKED | lol ok | 16:59 |
| Guest45910 | the Ubuntu Package manager HylaFax is a bit old version 4.3 | 16:59 |

| Guest45910 | okie | 17:00 |
| oskude | Guest45910, i assume you did: sudo make install | 17:00 |
| bazhang | Guest45910, dont compile; use what is in repos | 17:00 |
| logankoester | What needs to be restarted after editing /etc/modprobe.d/options to enact the change? | 17:00 |

| Thurston | hey guys. im trying to remove ubuntu due to ati being shit and wine not working right. i need to remove ubuntu and grub because i tried to just delete the partitions but grub was still on there and i kept getting error 22, and my pc was just stuck there. hwo do i go about removing everything properly? | 17:01 |
| bazhang | Guest45910, what bug; please give link | 17:01 |
| bazhang | Thurston, no cursing | 17:01 |
| Guest45910 | After successfully installed, now my server didnot works... | 17:01 |

| Guest45910 | It even more worst as Hylafax 4.3 | 17:02 |
| jurism | man tar | 17:02 |
| Guest45910 | Not bug | 17:02 |
| Guest45910 | But didn't works | 17:02 |
| bazhang | Guest45910, this is why you never compile; especially when you dont know what you are doing. newer is not better | 17:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | Thurston: That would depend on what you put on there. | 17:02 |
| Thurston | what do you mean? | 17:02 |
| oskude | Thurston, removing GRUB doesnt help you, you have to install the ms-windows boot loader, which i luckily already forgot everything #windows ? | 17:02 |
| Guest45910 | The hylaFax scheduler did not run | 17:02 |
| kev_ | Can only one help me fix the sound for ubuntu 8.04 it was working fine until i rebooted? | 17:02 |
| kev_ | can anyone* | 17:03 |
| Thurston | ok...i'll give that channel a try | 17:03 |
| Thurston | thanks guys | 17:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | Thurston it would depend on what OS you installed. | 17:03 |
| Guest45910 | But It wrote there "Stable" version | 17:03 |
| Thurston | im on xp pro, wich is what i want. but i was trying to fiddle with ubuntu | 17:03 |
| Guest45910 | Now My Server cannot server already... Then I panic | 17:03 |
| logankoester | Can anyone tell me what I need to do after editing /etc/modprobe.d/options? | 17:04 |
| logankoester | Surely I don't need to restart the whole machine? | 17:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | Ok... xp pro has a cd that you can run that has a recovery console. Pop that in, then run fixmbr | 17:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | Thurston: ^^ | 17:04 |
| Guest45910 | Reinstall back the version 4.3 , but it try to point back version 5.2.7 | 17:04 |

| IdleOne | ArthurArchnix: no one is getting upset it is just that we try to help people with the ubuntu issues not remove ubuntu. help with installing another OS should be directed to the proper channel for that OS | 17:06 |
| Guest45910 | bazhange still there? | 17:06 |
| bazhang | Guest45910, yes | 17:06 |

| pegasos | Heya! I need to mount an NTFS filesystem but it fails because NTFS is marked as being in use. Can I get past this in any way? I only need to read from there, not write | 17:08 |
| oskude | tux, what error *exactly* do you get ? | 17:08 |
| IdleOne | shentino: for alternate cd you need to check the box if downloading and the name if requesting cd's is pretty much straight forward | 17:08 |
| wiherna | hola | 17:08 |
| bazhang | Guest45910, that is what caused you problems; you should asked for help with the repos hylafax before doing that. | 17:08 |
| wiherna | que tal | 17:08 |
| bazhang | wiherna, english please | 17:08 |

| MIKED | how do I edit that file | 18:10 |
| Vinny`` | why is it that I have such a hard time setting this up. I have dual LCD screens (different resolutions: 1280x1024; 1400x900)). I have the dual screens working but half of my KDE taskbar (not shown on the second screen). I'm using twinview with a dual head nvidia card. Any help? | 18:10 |
| ikonia | m0u5e: I've had positive with intel chips, nvidia chips etc | 18:10 |
| yao_ziyuan | how do i update to the latest linux kernel? | 18:10 |
| ikonia | m0u5e: with xinerma, and nvidia's twinview | 18:10 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: you don't | 18:10 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: ubuntu will offer updates when they are available | 18:10 |
| m0u5e | ikonia: i've used twinview, it doesn't work very well for me | 18:10 |
| guntbert | MIKED: silly /me, just misread your output, but you will have to edit that file anyway | 18:10 |
| ikonia | m0u5e: it is card/monitor fussy | 18:10 |
| MIKED | lol ok | 18:10 |
| ikonia | m0u5e: no question on that | 18:10 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: i need because my new burner is not supported by this kernel - it can't even read a data cd's files (only read the directories) | 18:10 |
| minimec | ikonia: I was there, as I was unable to install the new Catalyst 8.8 binary installer on ubuntu. So I went back to the restricted driver. | 18:11 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: what burner is it | 18:11 |
| Nece228 | recordmydesktop lags very much when im recording desktop | 18:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: Samsung TS-S652H | 18:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | *TS-H652H | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | Nece228: do you have a question or you just want us to know about it | 18:11 |
| jerbear | is there some trickery that i can do to "alias" the path on my drive as read-only and then add that alias as the drive? | 18:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: it can read directories and files from a data cd under windows xp | 18:11 |
| ikonia | jerbear: ask in #winehq - it' specialist | 18:12 |
| m0u5e | ikonia: :< | 18:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: so i think it is a real samsung product | 18:12 |
| Nece228 | idleone: dont talk s*** i wanna record my desktop | 18:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: problem is under ubuntu it can only read a data cd's directories, not copy files from it | 18:12 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: if it can read it, the drive is supported | 18:12 |
| guntbert | MIKED: it would be easier with a GUI-tool, but I don't know if such exists in ubuntu | 18:12 |
| Nece228 | idleone: i tried everythink everythink starts to horribly lag when im starting to record desktop | 18:12 |
| IdleOne | Nece228: **** you is just as bad as me typing it out. you have not specified a question. what do you want us to help you do? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | Nece228: if you can't speak without swearing - please don't speak | 18:13 |
| MIKED | :/... you tell me | 18:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: it can only read directories, not copy files from these directories | 18:13 |
| IdleOne | Nece228: how do the recordings turn out? do they run fine? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: what happen when you to copy from it | 18:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: says I/O error | 18:13 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: ok - so thats not a driver issue | 18:13 |
| Nece228 | idleone: when i start to record desktop session, my pc starts to lag horribly | 18:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: "Error reading from file: Input/output error" | 18:14 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: I'd put $100 that says a kernel update would not fix that | 18:14 |
| m0u5e | is there a way for check my LCDs hardware rated max brightness, and what my software setting is currently at? | 18:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: what issue is it, then? | 18:14 |
| IdleOne | Nece228: perhaps you need to upgrade ram. without more info we cannot help you diagnose what could be causing the lag | 18:14 |
| m0u5e | even though i'm at max brightness for ubunutu, i dont think i am as bright as my lcd actually supports :/ | 18:14 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: , could the physical cd, the way it was burnt, the BUS on the motherboard, cable, etc, 100 things | 18:15 |
| Nece228 | idleone: i have 512 mb ram, 3000+ amd 64, when i had 900 mhz duron i had no lag | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Nece228: what video card do you have | 18:15 |
| MIKED | so how come this file isnt correct ? | 18:15 |
| Nece228 | idleone: radeon 9600 256mb | 18:15 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: but the same bus, IDE cable can run my previous DVD drive well - read files from a CD/DVD | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Nece228: and interesting experience would be to open the system monitor - start to record and see if the / what resources become busy | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Nece228: I suspect its the video drives | 18:15 |
| ikonia | drivers | 18:15 |
| Nece228 | ok | 18:15 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: fair point, potential issue with the bus/drive/media/burn then? | 18:16 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: and the same data cd can be read under a windows machine well | 18:16 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: windows = works doesn't not mean it will/should work under ubuntu | 18:16 |
| guntbert | MIKED: search google for "ubuntu mount windows" | 18:16 |
| Nece228 | idleone: recordmydesktop uses biggest amount of cpu - 25 % | 18:16 |
| MIKED | this will tell me how to fix my problem ?? | 18:17 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: i think it's a deliberate anti-linux campaign by microsoft + samsung! | 18:17 |
| IdleOne | Nece228: try lowering the frames per second in the advanced option | 18:17 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: I think thats nonsense | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Nece228: I'd put money on the ati drivers being an issue, straight off the bat | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Nece228: thats normally the weakest link in any system with an ati card in with display issues | 18:17 |
| guntbert | MIKED: I suppose - one of the first 5 hits | 18:17 |
| cyban | anyone know if Software Raid in Ubu will over ride Fakeraid controllers to allow install? | 18:17 |
| MIKED | ok | 18:17 |
| ikonia | cyban: disable fake raid controller, use software raid only | 18:18 |
| cyban | cant in the bios :/ | 18:18 |
| ikonia | cyban: you can | 18:18 |
| ikonia | cyban: there is an option to disable fake raid or use "normal" or "ide" disk | 18:18 |
| hwilde | disable everything you don't need | 18:18 |
| Nece228 | ikonia: the problem isnt with video drivers, ive tried with opensource and proprietary drivers but still same issue | 18:18 |
| ikonia | Nece228: and both are weak | 18:18 |
| cyban | scsi fakeraid | 18:18 |
| ikonia | cyban: disable it in the scsi bios then | 18:19 |
| cyban | but I see no option for it on this BIOS | 18:19 |
| ikonia | cyban: it will be on the card bios | 18:19 |
| ikonia | cyban: not the motherboard bios | 18:19 |
| Nece228 | idleone: same issue | 18:19 |
| cyban | ya been tryin to get into it, this server is kind of a pos | 18:19 |
| cyban | well, nice server, pos config | 18:20 |
| IdleOne | Nece228: ikonia suggested the video drivers might be the issue. perhaps if you are nice to him he can help you figure it out | 18:20 |
| Nece228 | ikonia: figure it out | 18:21 |
| cyban | ok if I manage to disable fakeraid in the controller, set up the software raid for raid 0 with 2 80gb disks and select auto partition should work? | 18:21 |
| Nece228 | idleone: oh , and sorry for that **** | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Nece228: I've asked you once about the language, Please stop | 18:21 |
| Nece228 | idleone: hey i didnt said anythink wrong | 18:22 |
| IdleOne | lol Nece228 that is not going to gain favor with ikonia . and no worries about the language. just be nice and people will be nice back | 18:22 |
| ikonia | cyban: well, yes, but raid 0, in my opinion is not something that should be used for anything other than non-critical file systems with an above average IO need | 18:22 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: he was saying sorry | 18:22 |
| Nece228 | idleone: ive never thinked that * means bad word | 18:22 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: he didn't need to use another set of stars | 18:22 |
| MIKED | its being weird, it keeps saying it cannot find my dev/sta1 | 18:22 |
| mads- | When switching from GNOME to a virtual console, my music stops or mutes. Is there a way it to keep playing? | 18:22 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: aggreed | 18:22 |
| cyban | its just a test server, non critical - my samba servers are on Fedora but wanted to try out Ubu | 18:22 |
| IdleOne | agreed | 18:22 |
| ikonia | MIKED: the driver is /dev/sda1 | 18:22 |
| Odd-rationale | mads-: you can use something like mpd | 18:23 |
| ikonia | MIKED: the drive is /dev/sda1 - not /dev/sta1 | 18:23 |
| Odd-rationale | mads-: or mocp | 18:23 |
| Popolon | dict.cn doesn't work :(( | 18:23 |
| mads- | Odd-rationale: Thanks, I'll look that up :) | 18:23 |
| Nece228 | ikonia: how can i fix my issue? | 18:23 |
| Popolon | on the same network, this work on my lfs box | 18:23 |
| ikonia | Nece228: I'm sorry, I'm busy | 18:23 |
| Popolon | what's this problem ??? | 18:24 |
| MIKED | yesyes | 18:24 |
| Popolon | it's activated | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Nece228: I have given you some simple pointers to help diagnose the issue | 18:24 |
| Nece228 | ikonia: or wait, ive seen in youtube clip when guy with radeon 9600 recorded desktop | 18:24 |
| Nece228 | ikonia: so i dont think its driver problem | 18:24 |
| cyban | ... ok see if this works, unplug one of the HD's heh | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Nece228: that means nothing | 18:24 |
| cyban | for me, not you Nece | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Nece228: there are multple hardware vedoras with that chipset, multiple drivers, etc | 18:25 |
| cgibin | why doesnt ubuntu have hosts.allow ? | 18:25 |
| ol_schoola | greetings all | 18:25 |
| ikonia | Nece228: I suggest you walk through the debugging suggestion I have you | 18:25 |
| ikonia | cgibin: install tcp wrappers and it will | 18:25 |
| mads- | Odd-rationale: But those two, doesn't they also "shut up" when not in the active virtual environment ? | 18:25 |
| cgibin | ikonia, nice | 18:25 |
| cgibin | apt-get install wrappers | 18:26 |
| HardDriveBlues | Good Morning | 18:26 |
| cgibin | mornin | 18:26 |
| node357 | !info tcp-wrappers | 18:26 |
| ol_schoola | morning | 18:26 |
| ubottu | Package tcp-wrappers does not exist in hardy | 18:26 |
| node357 | :( | 18:26 |
| ikonia | cgibin: I think the package is tcpd | 18:26 |
| cgibin | kewl let me try that | 18:26 |
| HardDriveBlues | Can someone help me with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=897000 | 18:26 |
| Odd-rationale | mads-: well, they have a daemon that runs. you can close the client, and still have the daemon running. So you can listen to your music after you log off, even if you restart X | 18:27 |
| cgibin | let me search for it doesnt seem to exists | 18:27 |
| Marcin26P | pls help samone :/ http://wklej.ubuntu.pl/3 | 18:27 |
| Marcin26P | i dont know what to do now | 18:27 |
| mads- | Odd-rationale: kewl :) Thanks | 18:27 |
| ol_schoola | i just switched from FC/CentOS for my mythtv backend, have a quick init question... | 18:27 |
| Marcin26P | my card is gf fx go 5200 | 18:27 |
| node357 | cgibin, ikonia is right, it's tcpd | 18:27 |
| Marcin26P | :/ | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: check the nvidia module is loaded | 18:28 |
| Marcin26P | ikonia: haw to check ? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: lsmod | 18:28 |
| HardDriveBlues | modprobe | 18:28 |
| ikonia | HardDriveBlues: no | 18:28 |
| HardDriveBlues | roger | 18:28 |
| HardDriveBlues | mybad | 18:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | wow, men, i even googled a linux.kernel discussion message about adding my burner type to linux kernel: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/a759e517d64434e5 | 18:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | means this burner type is quite new | 18:28 |
| IdleOne | HardDriveBlues: lsmod will list the loaded modules | 18:28 |
| Marcin26P | agpgart 34760 2 nvidia,intel_agp | 18:28 |
| Lusule | hi there, my wireless network died and i can't work out how to get it back again, how do i get up the program that browses broadcasting networks so i can choose one? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: yes, I see | 18:29 |
| HardDriveBlues | netmanager | 18:29 |
| ol_schoola | the redhat dists allow "service networking restart" and such | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: no, you should just have "nvidia" as a module | 18:29 |
| Marcin26P | so ? | 18:29 |
| Marcin26P | what to do ? | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: sudo modprobe nvidia | 18:29 |
| ikonia | !nvidia > Marcin26P | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Marcin26P, please see my private message | 18:29 |
| ol_schoola | is there an ubuntu equivalent or do i just shoot them off from /etc/init.d? | 18:29 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: so i wait some time until linux kernel fully support my burner, right? | 18:29 |
| Marcin26P | nvidia 3934028 0 | 18:30 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: seems the most sensible | 18:30 |
| Marcin26P | ther is one ;) | 18:30 |
| sinan | This might sound stupid, but how does audio work in Linux? Can anyone direct me to more information? | 18:30 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: good | 18:30 |
| ol_schoola | apt recommended ubuntu-script-helpers or sysvcontrol | 18:30 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: so the module is loaded | 18:30 |
| casp3 | windows demands a password when i try to connect to another pc in my intranet - how can i find out which one it is? | 18:30 |
| ikonia | ol_schoola: update-rc.d | 18:30 |
| cyban | im going to kick a puppy if this works..... | 18:30 |
| casp3 | ubuntu -> windows | 18:30 |
| ol_schoola | thx iconia | 18:30 |
| Lusule | hi ikonia :) | 18:30 |
| ikonia | Lusule: hello | 18:30 |
| Lusule | anyone able to help me work out how to get my wireless network back up? | 18:31 |
| MikeSeth | sinan: kernel drivers expose sound devices through /dev/xxx, xxx dependent on driver family. Applications read/write to /dev/xxx or use sound services to do it for them | 18:31 |
| MikeSeth | Lusule: ask a question | 18:31 |
| node357 | sinan, I wish I knew how Linux audio worked... they keep changing it :P | 18:31 |
| Lusule | MikeSeth, i just did | 18:31 |
| danix | hola | 18:31 |
| hwilde | !alsa > node357 | 18:31 |
| ubottu | node357, please see my private message | 18:31 |
| Lusule | MikeSeth, twice now | 18:31 |
| node357 | thanks hwilde | 18:31 |
| linxeh | they dont keep changing it | 18:31 |
| ArcInversion | Lusule: Describe what's wrong with your internet then | 18:31 |
| Marcin26P | ikonia: i did instaled drivers from nvidia site it hmm lets say worked | 18:31 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: i see a scary comment around the kernel code relevant to my burner type: /* Maybe we should just blacklist TSSTcorp... */ | 18:31 |
| yao_ziyuan | ikonia: TSSTcorp is my burner manufacturer... | 18:31 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: there is no need to install drivers from nvidia.com | 18:31 |
| Marcin26P | i restarted and now when it starts it starts with low eficiency | 18:32 |
| hwilde | Lusule, system, admin, network | 18:32 |
| Lusule | ArcInversion, my wireless went down and i don't have a clue how to get it up again - i don't know the program that is used to browse nearby networks | 18:32 |
| hwilde | Lusule, system, admin, network | 18:32 |
| Lusule | hwilde, ah, slight problem there, i'm in fluxbox and the menu seems to be different | 18:32 |
| ikonia | yao_ziyuan: probably just a toublesome hardware vendor to get info off | 18:32 |
| MIKED | hi I am still having a problem getting this to work | 18:32 |
| Marcin26P | ikonia when i start drivers from system administration i dodnt have 3d acc and could use opengl full scren in mplayer | 18:32 |
| Lusule | hwilde i need to know how to call the program without using the menus | 18:32 |
| HardDriveBlues | lusule: netmanager | 18:32 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: that was potentially fixable until you installed from nvidia.com | 18:32 |
| Lusule | HardDriveBlues, thanks :) | 18:32 |
| hwilde | Lusule, probly somethin like network manager | 18:33 |
| Marcin26P | and what to do now ? | 18:33 |
| gnuskool | g'day | 18:33 |
| ikonia | Marcin26P: remove the drivers from nvidia.com, or ask for support from #nvidia | 18:33 |
| Lusule | HardDriveBlues, netmanager not found >< | 18:33 |
| ArcInversion | EW Nvidia | 18:33 |
| cgibin | ikonia: thank you | 18:34 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: please ask a specific question | 18:34 |
| ikonia | cgibin: no problem | 18:34 |
| minimec | Lusule: Open a console and do iwspy ethX scanning (ethX may be different for you). Doing that you will see, if your card is working correctly. You should see the wireless networks around. | 18:34 |
| HardDriveBlues | lusule: nm-applet | 18:34 |
| jerbear | is there a way to mount a path to some other path using fusermount? | 18:34 |
| MIKED | I had asked the question previously, I can seem to see my windows drive in "places" | 18:35 |
| Lusule | HardDriveBlues, aha, thanks! minimec i get 'wlan0 doesn't support IP addresses' | 18:35 |
| HardDriveBlues | sorry Lusule, dont have my ubuntu notebook at work today ;) | 18:35 |
| spartan0 | anyone know if I can add raid after I setup an ubuntu server? | 18:36 |
| yao_ziyuan | how do i install a windows xp besides my current ubuntu installation? | 18:36 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: is it mounted? | 18:36 |
| minimec | Lusule: If you do iwconfig in a console, what do you see? | 18:36 |
| yao_ziyuan | 1. prepare a fat32 partition? | 18:36 |
| MIKED | i think so | 18:36 |
| Lusule | HardDriveBlues, nm-applet was the program i was thinking of | 18:36 |
| MIKED | http://paste.ubuntu.com/40458/ | 18:36 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: type mount in the console and read the output | 18:36 |
| Lusule | minimec, i see wlan0 as the only one with wireless extensions | 18:36 |
| MIKED | http://paste.ubuntu.com/40463/ | 18:37 |
| Lusule | HardDriveBlues, running nm-applet seems to have given me my internet back, but it wasn't running before in fluxbox so i'm not sure what happened | 18:37 |
| sinan | MikeSeth: thanks ! | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | quick question for you all | 18:38 |
| budmang | anyone here us ENVY for dual monitor/ | 18:38 |
| sharperguy | !ask | 18:38 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hos can I write a file allocation table to an image of a disk | 18:38 |
| minimec | Lusule: Is there a ESSID:off/any or some other ESSID:? | 18:38 |
| cyban | holy hell it worked...... | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | budmang: i use it for a single display | 18:39 |
| Lusule | minimec, ESSID:"<correct ESSID name>" | 18:39 |
| cyban | or... sort of | 18:39 |
| budmang | i have 2 nvidia cards. | 18:39 |
| budmang | just cant get both to show up. | 18:39 |
| Lusule | minimec, it's fixed now since i ran that applet, i seem to have connection again, but i'd love to know what went wrong and how to fix it without the applet | 18:39 |
| roger_padactor | how do you map a network drive? | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | budmang: ive never had to set u dual display dude, sorry | 18:40 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: I see a couple of non-Linux partitions mounted but I am not sure what they are and why theyre mounted with fuse. You will most likely not see them in Gnome places | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !smbmount | roger_padactor | 18:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about smbmount | 18:40 |
| minimec | Lusule:OK. Yeah it also looked to me, that the device is working ok. | 18:40 |
| MIKED | ahaha, well I have no clue?! | 18:40 |
| Ssdsd | hello | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | roger_padactor: grab smbmount | 18:40 |
| Lusule | minimec, i think the problem was simply that i don't know how to connect to my chosen network without that applet | 18:40 |
| Lusule | minimec, and for some reason it wasn't connecting automatically | 18:40 |
| lirit | i'm trynig to settup evolution to read comp.lang.python. what is the USENET news server? | 18:41 |
| Lusule | minimec, i'm a bit of a linux newb >< | 18:41 |
| minimec | Lusule: There are tools like wifi-manager, wicd. you can also configure your device with iwconfig. | 18:41 |
| roger_padactor | ActionParsnip, am i supposed to get a message? | 18:41 |
| Lusule | minimec, now i have internet back on the proper computer, i can stop panicking and having withdrawal symptoms, go away and research how to use iwconfig properly :D | 18:42 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: read the output of mount, the two last lines are it. Whether they are your disks I dont know, try opening /media in file explorer | 18:42 |
| cyban | do I need to do something to start the desktop manager? | 18:42 |
| minimec | Lusule: ;) | 18:42 |
| === carolina is now known as cigno88 | ||
| MIKED | no I can see and access both fuse mounted drives | 18:42 |
| MIKED | it is the windows one I cant see or access | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | roger_padactor: no, its a program you need to mount them, you can also use konqueror to mount them | 18:43 |
| cyban | er rather is there a default desktop enviroment thats loaded? | 18:43 |
| Lusule | minimec, HardDriveBlues, thanks and goodbye :) | 18:43 |
| minimec | Lusule: Basiclly in your case the syntax would be something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 <option> setting. Example: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid off (taht would accept any essid. | 18:44 |
| doggymenz | if i start xorg without a config file, then compiz dont work | 18:44 |
| cyban | is the default Ubuntu server install without a desktop enviroment? | 18:45 |
| cyban | arf | 18:45 |
| yao_ziyuan | i even found a ubuntuforums.org message thread about my problematic samsung dvd burner: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-625825.html | 18:46 |
| Debolaz | Ubuntu installer can resize an NTFS partition, so I don't have to worry about that if I want to install a system with dual boot, right? | 18:46 |
| kavon | How do I uninstall a program (NetBeans) that I installed from their website. I downloaded from their site and installed that file. How can I completely remove it? | 18:47 |
| jerbear | is virtualbox pretty comparable to vmware? | 18:48 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: then its not mounted for whichever reason | 18:48 |
| nDuff | jerbear, depends on your use cases. | 18:48 |
| budmang | http://phpfi.com/347151 | 18:48 |
| MikeSeth | MIKED: mount it and put it in fstab if necessary | 18:48 |
| nDuff | jerbear, I'd call it reasonably close to VMware Server. | 18:48 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: Vmware has some adventages, but in many cases VirtualBox will be sufficient. | 18:49 |
| jerbear | nDuff: in what use cases might vmware excel? | 18:49 |
| * Debolaz needs vmware due to USB. | 18:49 | |
| Kcaj | How can I tell which version of gtk I have? | 18:49 |
| nDuff | jerbear, not really aimed at VMware Workstation (with its snapshot support) or users of ESX (high-performance server scenarios), but the desktop integration is very good. | 18:49 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: ahhh... usb is one of my requirements, so vmware then? | 18:49 |
| negge | Transferring files between two Ubuntu boxes on my LAN is terribly slow (average speed is only a couple hundred kilobytes), I read some on the forums but no one had any good solutions. When I ping one computer from the other one with "ping -s 65507 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" I get a 73% package loss, is that normal or are my NICs fscked up? | 18:49 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: Well, you'd need the proprietary version of VirtualBox if you want USB support there. | 18:50 |
| nDuff | jerbear, incidentally, the qemu/kvm folks had a rewrite of their USB support recently, to the point that webcams and such work in very new releases now. | 18:50 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: But even that version has some problems with USB, so your milage may vary. It won't support iPhone for instance. | 18:50 |
| nDuff | s@releases@git builds@ | 18:50 |
| Slart | negge: it depends on a lot.. switches, nics etc etc | 18:50 |
| Slart | negge: try iperf.. see what kind of bandwidth you get | 18:50 |
| MIKED | how do I mount the drive ? | 18:51 |
| jerbear | i'm thinking vmware might be the most solid in my case | 18:51 |
| ol_schoola | ikonia: exactly what i was looking for... that led the 'service' script is in debian-helper-scripts pkg | 18:51 |
| Slart | negge: what kind of packet loss do you get if you just run normal ping? 0% | 18:51 |
| negge | Slart: I have some random old NICs I "borrowed" from work, but the switch is a high quality AT 12-port switch which shouldn't be the bottleneck. I have two other switches/routers to test with though if I run out of options | 18:51 |
| ol_schoola | and sysvconfig which i assume is the runtime level editor for initscripts? | 18:51 |
| negge | Slart: hold on I'll run some tests | 18:52 |
| nDuff | jerbear, *shrug*. I use VirtualBox for my desktop (as its integration is great), and KVM+libvirt on my QA servers (where flexibility is key); it depends on your goals. (I'm fighting off the lab manager who's trying to switch us to ESX) | 18:52 |
| jerbear | what's the best way to install vmware server? | 18:52 |
| nybbj | hi how to get the rain effects to work? what hot keys? | 18:53 |
| jerbear | how is vmware 2? it's in beta right? | 18:53 |
| negge | Slart: ping computer B from computer A results in 0% packet loss (for 54 packets) | 18:53 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: I'd recommend workstation over server if that's an option. | 18:53 |
| negge | Slart: computer B to computer A results in 8% packet loss | 18:53 |
| magc | hey--what email client do you all use to handle pop? | 18:53 |
| magc | is there something like outlook | 18:53 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: It has more features and better USB. | 18:54 |
| Popolon | http://osdir.com/ml/debian.devel.x/2003-06/msg00204.html | 18:54 |
| [arch3r] | evolution | 18:54 |
| negge | magc: there's mozilla thunderbird | 18:54 |
| Slart | negge: 8% for regular ping.. that's kind of bad | 18:54 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: ok | 18:54 |
| negge | or evolution | 18:54 |
| Popolon | this bug is on xubuntu 8.04+ too | 18:54 |
| ol_schoola | evolution or thunderbird | 18:54 |
| Popolon | :( | 18:54 |
| negge | Slart: yeah I guess so, haven't noticed it before | 18:54 |
| nybbj | hi how to get the rain effects to work? what hot keys? | 18:54 |
| sorin-mihai | magc, Evolution | 18:54 |
| negge | Slart: could that be the whole problem? | 18:54 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: As for installation, it should mostly just work even though it uses a custom installer. | 18:54 |
| negge | Slart: 'cause I've noticed that sometimes when I transfer files via FTP I get like 6 MB/s or something but NFS transfers are inevitable stuck at below 500 kb/s | 18:54 |
| sven | damn.. why is my amarok crushing when i try to listen to last.fm ??? | 18:55 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: it doesn't appear to be free :/ | 18:55 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: You'll get services installed, entries on the menu, etcd, installed correctly with the default installer. | 18:55 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: It's not free as in $0 no. | 18:55 |
| Popolon | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11366 | 18:55 |

| jerbear | wow, that's expensive | 18:55 |
| Popolon | this bug depend on gcc | 18:55 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: But it is the best tool. However, there's no reason why you can't try VirtualBox first if price is an issue. | 18:56 |
| Slart | negge: I would check the cables.. and possible check to see if that nic could be changed | 18:56 |
| nybbj | hi how to get the rain effects to work? what hot keys? please send message if know | 18:56 |
| negge | Slart: I tried changing it a couple days ago but Ubuntu wouldn't recognize it automatically so I switched back to the old one | 18:56 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: i need usb though | 18:56 |
| cherva | if I have 2 HDDs and one of them is unmounted does it spin ? | 18:56 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: You have that in the proprietary version, it's no cost for personal use. | 18:56 |
| negge | Slart: I'll check the cables too. One question, how do I use iperf? I ran iperf --help but don't really get it. Should I start it in server mode on one computer and as client on the other? | 18:57 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: i think i may already have that version installed. i'll give it a shot. | 18:57 |
| MIKED | can someone help me I am having some trouble with mounting my windows drive so I can see it | 18:58 |
| jerbear | anyone had any problems with usb on virtualbox? | 18:58 |
| Slart | negge: yes | 18:58 |
| LinuxGhost | HELP me , theres a file SPSS.exe that cannot be deleted, please help me! | 18:58 |
| Slart | negge: iperf -s on one server, iperf -c XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX on the other | 18:58 |
| negge | Slart: okay | 18:59 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: you mentioned that virtualbox does not support the iphone over usb. does vmware? | 18:59 |
| sven | damn.. why is my amarok crushing when i try to listen to last.fm ??? | 18:59 |
| freakazoid | jerbear, vmware doesnt | 18:59 |
| freakazoid | ive tried | 18:59 |
| Debolaz | freakazoid: It does. | 19:00 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: i'm guess workstation, though? | 19:00 |
| cherva | if I have 2 HDDs and one of them is unmounted does the unmounted one it spin ? | 19:00 |
| Debolaz | freakazoid: Vmware server doesn't, but vmware workstation and player does. | 19:00 |
| Cuog422 | does anyone know how to make f-spot stop trying to unload pictures off an SD card whenever it mounts? | 19:00 |
| negge | Slart: I got 2.81 Mbit/s | 19:00 |
| freakazoid | ive tried both Debolaz | 19:00 |
| freakazoid | didnt work | 19:00 |
| negge | Slart: it's better than the NFS speeds but it still sucks considering it should be close to 100 Mbit/s | 19:00 |
| LinuxGhost | HELP me , theres a file SPSS.exe that cannot be deleted, please help me | 19:01 |
| Debolaz | freakazoid: I just synced five minutes ago so I'm kind of having a hard time believing it's vmware that's the problem. :) | 19:01 |
| LinuxGhost | i want to uninstall spss application with wine but wine cant deleted it only copies another files like a virus eating more space on my harddisc | 19:01 |
| Slart | negge: 2.81 Mbit is pretty bad if it's ethernet | 19:01 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: Or player. | 19:01 |
| MIKED | can someone help me I am having some trouble with mounting my windows drive so I can see it\ | 19:01 |
| negge | Slart: yes it's ethernet, sudo ethtool eth0 says the link is 100 Mbit on both computers | 19:01 |
| sdfsdfsd | j | 19:01 |
| Slart | negge: you don't have a laptop you can connect to that switch just to see if the speeds are the same to that one | 19:02 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: is player pretty easy to setup a virtual machine on? last time i tried it, it wasn't | 19:02 |
| RequinB4 | on mozilla firefox, about:plugin gives two entries for mplayerplug-in.so, but i can only find one. However, there is only one copy of subsidiary plugins like mplayerplug-in-wmp.so; etc | 19:02 |
| negge | Slart: I have my friends Windows Vista computer here at home, any speed tests like iperf that I can run between those two? | 19:02 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: all i really want to do is run itunes so i can sync my iphone | 19:02 |
| negge | I do have an Eee with Ubuntu aswell, I'll hook it up right away | 19:02 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: You can't set up virtual machines with player, you need something else to do that. That being said, once you've set the machine up you only need player. | 19:03 |
| keco | hi! | 19:03 |
| Slart | negge: anything should be able to cope with 2.81 Mbit/s.. even the eee =) | 19:03 |
| RequinB4 | !hi | 19:03 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 19:03 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: So you could just use workstation to set up the virtual machine, then use player. | 19:03 |
| keco | can somebody help me with my television card, model: flyvideo 2000 ? | 19:03 |
| keco | my machine run ubuntu 8.04 | 19:04 |
| jerbear | Debolaz: but that does work with vmware? do you use an iphone with it? | 19:04 |
| negge | Slart: I'll get back to you in a couple of minutes when I've run iperf between the Eee and the two other computers | 19:04 |
| Slart | negge: sure | 19:04 |
| P3X-018 | Do KDE applications run without problems in Ubuntu, even though I haven't installed some KDE? | 19:04 |
| MIKED | can someone help me I am having some trouble with mounting my windows drive so I can see it\ | 19:04 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: Yes. iPhone was the reason I chose vmware over virtualbox. | 19:05 |
| TiredWolf | P3X-018: yes. the needed KDE libraries will be installed automatically by APT | 19:05 |

| quanticle | yao_ziuan: It doesn't? I thought there was a hardware compatibility list somewhere on the wiki. | 19:08 |

| andrew314 | alright, I have an issue: I just upgraded my laptop harddrive and I want to increase the size of each partition. Currently it's: Windows-30gb,Ubuntu 20gb, Extended ~2gbs, in that order on the disk. The problem is when I boot form a LiveCD and run gparted, it refuses to let me move the Extended partition and consequently makes it unable for me to resize the windows/ubuntu partitions. Any ideas as to why? | 19:11 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: Hmmm... Can you ping other machines on your network? | 19:11 |
| adakos | olskolirc: just finally getting rid of the last reminants of my old life and starting fresh with ubuntu | 19:11 |
| negge | Slart: could it be a router issue? The AT switch is hooked up to a Zyxel one-port rotuer (my modem), does that mean all traffic goes through the router or does it go straight through the switch from computer A to B? | 19:11 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: no nothing at all | 19:11 |
| Alphinux | olskolirc, You mean Ubuntubbie Channel? | 19:11 |
| quanticle | andrew314: Are your partitions mounted? | 19:11 |
| v0lksman | any idea where Network Manager stores it's profiles (and wireless settings?) I need to backup my machine but don't want to loose all the keys for various networks I use... | 19:11 |
| olskolirc | adakos, I'm on ubunto now and forever coming from RedHat 6 years ago to mandrake, mandriva, debian and now ubuntu | 19:11 |
| Slart | negge: it should go directly to the other computer | 19:11 |
| negge | Slart: do you know if there's anything like iperf for Windows so I can test between my friends computer and the Eee to see if it's a router issue | 19:11 |
| negge | Slart: okay | 19:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | quanticle: the hardware list should be made an obvious menu on the front page | 19:11 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: ping doesnt even list no route to host or anything, just hangs like route | 19:11 |
| andrew314 | quanticle: not when I boot from the livecd, I don't believe so | 19:12 |
| olskolirc | what Alphinux ? | 19:12 |
| Alphinux | nvm olskolirc | 19:12 |
| adakos | using a Core2Duo -- should I install the desktop AMD&INTEL64 ISO or the i386 sempron,celeron, etc | 19:12 |
| Slart | negge: I'm not sure if there is anything that works for both windows and linux.. but you could always use a live cd for your unfortunate friend | 19:12 |

| andrew314 | MIKED: rather, how are you going about it? | 19:15 |
| MIKED | well Ive tried following a few tutorials but with no results | 19:15 |
| MIKED | http://technical-itch.co.uk/2006/11/06/how-to-access-your-windows-hard-drive-from-ubuntu/ | 19:16 |
| ompaul | !ntfs | MIKED have a look here did you try these? | 19:16 |
| ubottu | MIKED have a look here did you try these?: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 19:16 |
| andrew314 | MIKED: did you hibernate windows? | 19:16 |
| MIKED | i dont know what that means | 19:16 |
| sudobash | Miked: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/windowsdrive /media/disk -o force | 19:16 |
| sudobash | you might also want to do sudo mkdir /media/disk before that | 19:16 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: i had a rule on the router to provide a static address on its mac, i changed that for a sanity check and it gave me the new address fine (10.0.0.20) | 19:16 |
| andrew314 | MIKED: what sudobash said | 19:16 |
| Slart | sudobash: I think -force can do bad things to your drive if it isn't healthy | 19:16 |
| sudobash | yeah maybe to the windows partition | 19:17 |
| Slart | yes, of course.. bad things to the windows drive | 19:17 |
| sudobash | but I could care less about my window partition maybe others may care about it..... | 19:17 |
| MIKED | ok how do I make the directory ? | 19:17 |
| Slart | hehe | 19:17 |
| sudobash | i have never seen it harm the windows partition | 19:17 |
| sudobash | but it is very possible | 19:17 |
| olskolirc | how do I upgrade my Opera.deb file with dpkg instead of installing the new version or having two copies please? | 19:17 |

| sudobash | thats what i was about to ask... | 19:20 |
| MIKED | ok how do I make the directory ? | 19:21 |
| sudobash | if route hangs it should be subnet is off | 19:21 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: yeah all the same | 19:22 |
| MIKED | hey guys, I was hoping someone could help me, for some reason I am not able to mount my windows drive for me to see in ubuntu | 19:22 |
| quanticle | sudobash: Perhaps. But, if the subnet mask was off, then ping would complain about having no route to host. | 19:22 |
| sudobash | MIKED I already told you a remedy | 19:22 |
| MIKED | yea | 19:22 |
| sudobash | right | 19:22 |
| MIKED | but how do i make the directory | 19:22 |
| balle_ | how do i download the mlton compiler for SML? i can't really get it thorugh apt-get install... | 19:22 |
| MIKED | first | 19:22 |
| quanticle | MIKED: mkdir | 19:22 |
| sudobash | sudo mkdir /media/disk | 19:22 |
| sudobash | sudo mkdir /media/LameWindows | 19:22 |
| sudobash | yeah it would say no route to host your right... | 19:23 |
| quanticle | sudobash: Meh. I rather like Windows XP. It allows me to play games :P | 19:23 |
| MIKED | sudo mkdiruh that didnt work | 19:23 |
| sudobash | yeah but all i play is AA 2.5 which is native to Linux so Im good | 19:23 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: win2k ftw ;) | 19:23 |
| quanticle | MIKED: Type, "sudo mkdir /media/disk" | 19:23 |

| clee | Where can I find the file where I can change users names? | 19:24 |
| quanticle | Debolaz: The Windows box doesn't get connected to the Internet for a reason. | 19:24 |
| sudobash | check that again MIKED | 19:24 |
| g0r8y | Think its worth changeing my address scheme to something more normal on the router? its one i nicked from work | 19:24 |
| sudobash | your dirs are wrong | 19:24 |
| MIKED | check what again ? | 19:24 |
| MIKED | ok | 19:24 |
| sudobash | either it has to be /media/disk or /media/windowsdrive | 19:25 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: Yeah. What are the other IPs on the network. I was going to ask about that, but I figured you had a custom addressing scheme. | 19:25 |
| sudobash | sudo mkdir /media/windowsdrive will fix that little error | 19:25 |
| aket | hi, what is a command to get the last modified time of a file. I want to do something like find . -name "alive" -exec getmodtime {} \; | 19:25 |
| Popolon | ++ | 19:25 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: just a dhcp range from 10.0.0.10-20 all the win clients (3 of em) in the house pick up address's fine tho | 19:25 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: i dont have ip rules for the other machine macs | 19:26 |
| negge | Slart: got 84 Mbit/s when running iperf -s on the Eee and 96 Mbit/s vice versa (testing between my Eee and my friends computer running on a Live CD) | 19:26 |

| Prikolchik | does anyboy here have Aspire One laptop? | 19:26 |
| negge | Slart: guess it's either REALLY bad cables or crappy old NICs then | 19:26 |
| quanticle | gor8y: Oh. Okay. Does the Ubuntu box pick up an IP even without the IP rule? | 19:26 |
| sudobash | make sure there isn't a static IP set for the same IP... if you have 2 of the same IP's on a network you will get problems like your having | 19:26 |
| oklinux | any one here use earos ? | 19:26 |
| Skaag | how do I remove the limit on tmpfs maximum size? | 19:26 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: let me test that | 19:27 |
| sudobash | but then the dhcp should not lease it if it is taken | 19:27 |
| Skaag | I noticed there's a file called /etc/default/tmpfs | 19:27 |
| Skaag | but I suspect this only affects /dev/shm and not all other mounts on tmpfs | 19:27 |
| Prikolchik | does anyone here have Aspire One laptop? | 19:27 |
| quanticle | sudobash: Yeah. That's why I suggested that he take out the static rule. | 19:27 |
| jerbear | anyone tried running itunes in wine with the iphone? | 19:27 |
| negge | sudobash: where you talking to me or some other guy? | 19:27 |
| MIKED | this is what Im getting now | 19:28 |
| legend2440 | MIKED: you have to substitute /dev/windowsdrive for the partition you want to mount ie /dev/sdb1 | 19:28 |
| MIKED | http://paste.ubuntu.com/40477/ | 19:28 |
| ArcInversion | jerbear, just use rhythmbox | 19:28 |
| MIKED | ah | 19:28 |
| MIKED | ok | 19:28 |
| Prikolchik | does anyboy here have Aspire One laptop? I might have found a few driver fixes... Need some testing | 19:28 |
| sudobash | someone else sorry... | 19:28 |
| negge | alright:) | 19:28 |
| jerbear | ArcInversion: dude... iphone | 19:28 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: ah forgot to say, there is another ubuntu box in the house cant rember distro name 6.10 - affected machine is 8.10 tho | 19:28 |
| sudobash | i have installed ubuntu on an Aspire Laptop before | 19:28 |
| ArcInversion | jerbear, i have my ipod touch hooked up to rhythmbox perfectly. iphone is the same thing | 19:28 |
| Prikolchik | sudobash, do u still have Aspire one? | 19:29 |
| _Zeus_ | hi | 19:29 |
| sudobash | no i dont have it.. it was for someone else | 19:29 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: And the other Ubuntu machine doesn't have any issues? | 19:29 |
| LinuxUsr | How much space should I give to / and /home? I gave / 15 gigabytes and home the rest, over 100 gigabytes. Is that right? | 19:29 |
| MIKED | ok im getting this now http://paste.ubuntu.com/40478/ | 19:29 |
| negge | ArcInversion: can you sync your iphone with rhytmbox? | 19:29 |
| jerbear | ArcInversion: i don't think anything works with the firmware 2.x | 19:29 |
| RequinB4 | does http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40474/ mean I can remove the curses linux restricted modules? | 19:29 |
| _Zeus_ | LinuxUsr: that is tons | 19:29 |
| skd5aner | Hello, I'm having a huge problem upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04, can someone help? | 19:29 |
| _Zeus_ | LinuxUsr: 15GB / is plenty | 19:29 |
| sudobash | LinuxUsr yeah too much but it would work | 19:29 |
| LinuxUsr | Okay, thanks. | 19:29 |
| Prikolchik | sudobash, oh ic... i think i've figured a fix for card reader and sound (nic + sound on syspend/hibernate) | 19:29 |
| _Zeus_ | you have enough | 19:29 |
| sudobash | cool | 19:30 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: nah its fine ; my granny uses it :) | 19:30 |
| legend2440 | MIKED: stda1 is not a partition is it sda1? | 19:30 |
| Debolaz | jerbear: Correct, the 2.x firmware uses a new hash function that has yet to be broken, making it impossible to synchronize songs with anything but iTunes. | 19:30 |
| ArcInversion | negge;jerbear; pretty sure it works with iphone too. You just need to jailbreak it first. then you can wirelessly transfer music to it, | 19:30 |
| _Zeus_ | legend2440: sda1 would probably be it | 19:30 |
| skd5aner | I tried to upgrade my server from 7.10 - 8.04, and it bombed out with the locals | 19:30 |
| _Zeus_ | skd5aner: you mean locales? | 19:30 |
| Debolaz | ArcInversion: See response to jerbear. :) | 19:30 |
| Ximal | is there a way to clone a hard drive from 1 disk to another ? I would like to take my 150 gigabyte hd and post it onto my new 1terabyte drive so that I can rid myself of my old disk drive ? | 19:30 |
| _Zeus_ | Ximal: use dd | 19:30 |
| MIKED | it is telling me it doesnt have a valid ntfs | 19:30 |
| Slart | negge: ah.. yes.. perhaps buy one extra nic and start switching them around.. | 19:30 |
| skd5aner | I tried to follow some of the advice here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865679 | 19:30 |
| negge | ArcInversion: ah I forgot about that option. I have an iPod Touch and it sucks really hard to have to use iTunes all the time | 19:30 |
| skd5aner | Zeus - yes | 19:30 |
| Ximal | I need to find a front in _Zeus_ for dd | 19:31 |
| sorin-mihai | MIKED, sudo fdisk -l will show you what partitions are on your computer | 19:31 |
| negge | Slart: yeah | 19:31 |
| skd5aner | Now, I think my system is totally hosed | 19:31 |
| Aji-Dahaka | Howdy. I have a Xen server set up and want to install an ubuntu Dom0 (guest) using para-virtualization. Is it possible to use the install media to do this? | 19:31 |
| ArcInversion | Debolaz: Lemme alone, I wasnt reading :P | 19:31 |
| sudobash | MIKED make sure you are mounting the correct partition | 19:31 |
| Debolaz | :) | 19:31 |
| RequinB4 | does http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40474/ mean I can remove the curses linux restricted modules? | 19:31 |
| _Zeus_ | Ximal: you want a frontend for dd? | 19:31 |
| negge | Slart: but how can I get 20 Mbit/s difference in speed depending on which computer acts as server? | 19:31 |
| Ximal | is there one sir ? | 19:31 |
| _Zeus_ | Ximal: it's not that hard | 19:31 |
| _Zeus_ | type man dd | 19:31 |
| legend2440 | MIKED: if your not sure type sudo fdisk -l in terminal and find out name of partition you want to mount | 19:31 |
| negge | Slart: shouldn't it be quite the same? | 19:31 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: And what's the address of the other Ubuntu box? | 19:31 |
| chazco | Hii... anyone know how I can run applications that need 1024x768 on a 1024x600 screen? | 19:31 |
| MIKED | yea i did, check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/40480/ | 19:31 |
| _Zeus_ | like, dd if=old_drive if=new_drive | 19:31 |
| Aji-Dahaka | chazco: virtual desktop size in your X config? | 19:31 |
| negge | chazco: you can move the window to access the bottom of the window by pressing Alt and dragging the window with the mouse | 19:32 |
| chazco | Aji-Dahaka - I tried setting that but it seems like it doesnt work with the intel modesetting driver | 19:32 |
| chazco | negge - Some applications refuse to start on 1024x600 | 19:32 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: how can i make dhcp forget the recorded lease? i deleted the rule on the router but its still takeing the old address | 19:32 |
| negge | really | 19:32 |
| quanticle | _Zeus_: You mean, "dd if=old_drive of=new_drive". I'm pretty sure you don't want to overwrite the old drive with itself. | 19:32 |
| themoleste | i'm not sure if i should ask here, or server chan... but anyone have experience with making a minimalist desktop (no wm) for a mpc | 19:32 |
| themoleste | err... htpc | 19:32 |
| sorin-mihai | MIKED, /dev/sda1 it may be the windows partition | 19:32 |
| skd5aner | I really don't want to start over from scratch, I'll lose way too much if I do that | 19:33 |
| Prikolchik | MIKED, are u trying to mount an external HDD? or mount internal HDD patition? | 19:33 |
| audifahrer | Hello | 19:33 |
| MIKED | yes sda1 is my windows partition | 19:33 |
| kenny | hi | 19:33 |
| MIKED | it is an internal hdd | 19:33 |
| orkun | hello | 19:33 |
| RequinB4 | does http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40474/ mean I can remove the curses linux restricted modules? | 19:33 |

| sorin-mihai | then try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force | 19:33 |
| themoleste | i'm trying to use xbmc as the media software... on hardy desktop it runs smooth, on server it runs very slow and xorg uses 100% cpu | 19:33 |
| skd5aner | probably way too much traffic in this channel to get help | 19:33 |

| Prikolchik | MIKED, see private message | 19:34 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: Bringing down the connection and bringing it back up should work fine - "sudo ifdown <network card>; sudo ifup <network card>" should renew the lease. | 19:34 |
| toresbe | Hello! | 19:34 |
| kenny | can somebody here help me get USB working in virtualbox in ubuntu ? | 19:35 |
| toresbe | I'm just wondering, what does Ubuntu call its SMP-enabled kernel? | 19:35 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: also worth noteing - if i do ./etc/init.d/networking restart whatever happens after dhcp hangs the script | 19:35 |
| toresbe | Is linux-image-server just a standard kernel except with SMP? | 19:35 |
| Debolaz | kenny: What version of virtualbox have you installed? | 19:35 |
| MIKED | any ideas ?? | 19:35 |
| kenny | just a sec | 19:35 |
| g0r8y | it gets the address but then just sits there not completeing, feels like the route problem at that point | 19:35 |
| Prikolchik | MIKED, seeprivate chat | 19:35 |
| KaMaMi | hey all | 19:36 |
| quanticle | toresbe: Well, I just did uname on my box, and I got this: 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP | 19:36 |
| Debolaz | kenny: The OSE or the proprietary one? (If you installed from Add/Remove programs, you installed OSE) | 19:36 |
| toresbe | Linux fortran 2.6.24-16-386 #1 Thu Apr 10 12:50:06 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 19:36 |

| kenny | but the PSP is grayed out unusable :( | 19:37 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: Try rebooting, and see what happens. | 19:37 |
| clayton | do some italian channels exist???? | 19:37 |
| toresbe | quanticle: yes, it is not an SMP kernel. | 19:37 |
| troxor | ls | 19:37 |

| regeya | !it | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 19:37 |
| Debolaz | kenny: Ie, it's impossible to add it to the filter list? | 19:37 |
| TiredWolf | !it | clayton | 19:37 |
| ubottu | clayton: please see above | 19:37 |
| sorin-mihai | toresbe, linux-image-server it is build with server in mind, but the desktop kernel is using SMP too. | 19:37 |
| toresbe | sorin-mihai: thanks... odd | 19:38 |
| themoleste | when comparing glxinfo |grep direct i see that the server is running indirect, and desktop is running direct | 19:38 |
| kenny | i added it to the filter list | 19:38 |
| themoleste | what does that mean, and how can i fix it | 19:38 |
| kenny | but when i run the machine | 19:38 |
| kenny | and goto devices the psp is grayed out | 19:38 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: will do - I ctrl-c'ed ifdown ath0 then ran sudo ifup ath0 - it got the same address (.20) then hangs after the "bound to 10.0.0.20" line | 19:38 |
| kenny | and not showing on the machine | 19:38 |
| toresbe | sorin-mihai: I may have been mixing kernels :) | 19:38 |
| KaMaMi | can someone tell me where clamd hides after the installation of the package clamav? i have a freshclam, but under /etc/init.d/ i was exspecting a start script... freshclam is there, but no clamd :-/ | 19:39 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: Yeah. I think you're getting that because its not able to contact the DHCP server. Obligatory: did you check your physical media (cables, etc.)? | 19:40 |
| sorin-mihai | KaMaMi, you have to install clamd too. is not installed yet. | 19:40 |
| Debolaz | kenny: Difficult to say what the problem is, especially since I can't bring up VirtualBox atm. :/ | 19:40 |
| g0r8y | #quanticle: yeah but then why did my address change when i changed the static rule on router | 19:40 |
| RequinB4 | does http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40474/ mean i don't need linux-restriced-modules | 19:41 |
| Totakeke | Alright, I can't access an older IDE drive on an old computer (probably my fault, but I got all of my important files and it was too slow to do anything) and the CD drive doesn't work. I can't boot from a USB device, either. Is there a way to get Linux onto that computer without putting the old HDD into this (my new) computer? | 19:41 |
| kenny | darn, it's the last thing i gotta get working to be able to run linux all the time | 19:41 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: Good point. Yeah. I have no idea why that happened. | 19:41 |
| RandyboY | Is there a new update which gives problems with windows shares? Ive had shares in fstab for a while now and suddenly they wount mount anymore... | 19:41 |
| kenny | just so i can make my youtube videos PSP compatible | 19:41 |
| * quanticle brb | 19:42 | |
| KaMaMi | -sorin-mihai- hmm wrong repository? | 19:42 |
| kenny | debolaz: I'll keep at it, hopefully get it working soon :) | 19:42 |
| kenny | thanks for trying | 19:42 |
| KaMaMi | -sorin-mihai- let me check, ill think i got it already | 19:42 |
| Lollipopz | how to install with dpkg | 19:43 |
| Lollipopz | with all the dependencies? | 19:43 |
| budmang | I finally have dual monitors working, but I cant drag a window across them(but my mouse can). | 19:43 |
| Alan_M | !dpkg | Lollipopz | 19:43 |
| ubottu | Lollipopz: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 19:43 |
| Totakeke | So how do I install Linux on an old PC where I can't use the Live CD, Live USB, or even the hard drive? | 19:43 |
| eitreach | Totakeke: you can use the alternate install cd. | 19:43 |
| Alan_M | whoops, thought it had a little bit more than that :/ | 19:43 |
| Debolaz | budmang: That's because they are two separate X screens. | 19:43 |
| Aji-Dahaka | how do I install ubuntu as a pv dom0 without an intermediate hvm step? | 19:44 |
| Marcin26P | can samone help me woth nvidia ?? | 19:44 |
| Debolaz | budmang: Do you use nvidia? | 19:44 |
| eitreach | Totakeke: that requires much less ram to run. | 19:44 |
| Totakeke | eitreach: But the DVD drive doesn't work, it spins up a little and then slows back down. | 19:44 |
| Alan_M | !ask | Marcin26P | 19:44 |
| ubottu | Marcin26P: 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. :-) | 19:44 |

| MIKED | nope | 19:45 |
| sorin-mihai | Totakeke, try a distro that has a floppy as a boot media with some internet stuf on it, and then try to install from the internet. i would buy a new pc :)) | 19:45 |
| MIKED | still cant see it in Places | 19:45 |
| Marcin26P | and it runs in 800x600 :/ | 19:45 |
| Debolaz | budmang: You need to enable twinview then, the apt-get installable program nvidia-settings will do that for you. | 19:45 |
| Prikolchik | MIKED, can u see in /media/disk | 19:45 |
| m0u5e | hmmm weird, firefox crashed | 19:45 |
| m0u5e | and now it wont start | 19:45 |

| budmang | i have nvidia-settings installed but twinview isnt an option. | 19:46 |

| MIKED | that folder is empty | 19:46 |
| Alan_M | m0u5e, tried running it through terminal? | 19:46 |
| Debolaz | budmang: Then I'm all out of ideas. :-) | 19:46 |
| Alan_M | m0u5e, you can run firefox through terminal to see if it throws any kind of error message, if it gives you one, throw it to us here ;) | 19:46 |
| _Zeus_ | Alan_M: it's impossible to run FF thorough terminal | 19:47 |

| _Zeus_ | mrpockets: how bout cron or anacron? | 20:08 |

| * _Zeus_ beats self on head | 20:08 | |
| _Zeus_ | try man anacron | 20:08 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: completed fine | 20:08 |
| Guest96308 | does anybody know how to setup the computer to run a command automatically after a user logs in using SSH? | 20:08 |
| mrpockets | Ideally i'd like a list of passwords I put in, say 5, all that expire after using them | 20:08 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: And eth0 was up? | 20:08 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: but still b0rked | 20:08 |
| mrpockets | so If i'm out of town or away and someone needs to use my machine, i can have them log onto a super restricted guest environment, and they can only do so once. | 20:09 |
| _Zeus_ | ohh | 20:09 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: no down | 20:09 |
| Guest96308 | i'm wanting to write a script that e-mails the system administrator to notify them when somebody logs in over ssh | 20:09 |

| mrpockets | well WTF MAN! | 20:09 |
| KaMaMi | mrpockets -e, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE | 20:09 |

| KaMaMi | man useradd | 20:10 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !grub>scheisddroge1 | 20:10 |
| mrpockets | KaMaMi, yeah, but can it be set to a day after logging on the first time? | 20:10 |
| Totakeke | Update: Okay, I still can't get it to install even when using floppies, trying to boot from the CD, etc. I'm just going to have to put the old hard drive in my new computer and install Linux from there. Thanks though for the help. | 20:10 |
| mrpockets | like expire +1 day after logon, instead of a specific date in time? | 20:10 |
| quanticle | g0r8y: For example, I got this when I did dclient: http://pastebin.com/m23a0cc05 | 20:11 |
| KaMaMi | mrpockets hmm i would use a script for that | 20:11 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: yeah loads atheros wireless cards make another interface for kismet etc to do promisc stuff | 20:11 |
| regeya | that sounds double plus ungood Guest96308, though I'd say you could do it through /etc/profile, maybe...aside from that, beats me | 20:11 |
| mrpockets | aight | 20:11 |
| mrpockets | thanks guys, I'll look into that s'more | 20:11 |
| KaMaMi | mrpockets, you can use the "last" command maybe for it | 20:11 |
| KaMaMi | to verify when the user has logged in | 20:11 |
| KaMaMi | but thats just a quick thought | 20:11 |
| g0r8y | quanticle: so if i dont specify an interface and only lo ath0 and wifi0 are up dhcp broadcasts on ath0 and wifi0, but ath0 gets a pack back almost imediately from router | 20:12 |

| zod21 | are you having problems with awn or something what is it | 20:43 |
| gRaCiOsO | zod21, i have this message on terminal when i try to use it /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-manager/awnPreferences.py:242: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated | 20:43 |
| gRaCiOsO | raise "\nKey: "+key+" isn't set.\nRestarting AWN usually solves this issue\n" | 20:43 |
| MIKED | Someone was helping me out but I had to reboot in the process.... | 20:43 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MIKED:did it work ? | 20:43 |
| _Zeus_ | gRaCiOsO: sorry haven't had that. I just started using avant today myself | 20:43 |
| zod21 | does this happen only on startup | 20:43 |
| zod21 | or does it happen each time you open it | 20:44 |
| sjovan | Kartagis: "See `config.log' for more details." maby you should take a look at the log? | 20:44 |
| zod2108 | kfk | 20:44 |
| oskude | Kartagis, maybe you need the "build-essential" package | 20:44 |
| gRaCiOsO | zod21, i have never used avant it is my first time and i cant open it | 20:44 |
| gRaCiOsO | zod21, so i tryied by terminal and it is the message | 20:44 |
| zod21 | well how did you install it, sudo apt-get or did you use debian package | 20:45 |
| zod21 | s | 20:45 |
| liamkmc | howdy | 20:45 |
| gRaCiOsO | zod21, with apt | 20:45 |
| zod21 | if you used sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator it should work, but if you used the debian packages, you need to install 4 or 5 packages or it wont work | 20:46 |
| gRaCiOsO | zod21, do u recommend me other way? | 20:46 |
| zod21 | ok well sudo apt-get autoremove avant-window-navigator | 20:46 |
| Gnea | ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867631 | 20:46 |
| zod21 | and then go to getdeb.com search for avant and download all the packages you can | 20:46 |
| zod21 | there should be like five | 20:46 |
| * Gnea notes that patience is a virtue around these parts... | 20:46 | |
| gRaCiOsO | do i install all of them? | 20:47 |
| zod21 | and if one of the packages doesnt wanna install just install another one. cause some of the packages are dependant on others so you cant install them until another has been installed | 20:47 |
| zod21 | yes install all of them | 20:47 |
| djhash | Kartagis: did you use sudo? | 20:47 |
| Kartagis | djhash, what for? | 20:48 |
| zod21 | what i meant by another one, is install the next one, of the five you download | 20:48 |
| djhash | Kartagis: for the ./configure command | 20:48 |
| zod21 | it really doesnt matter what order, but you need all five | 20:48 |
| sjovan | Kartagis: "See `config.log' for more details." maby you should take a look at the log? | 20:48 |
| zod21 | or i guess one is unneeded, but thats just the awn applets, but some people like them, i dont use them though | 20:48 |
| gRaCiOsO | zod21, ok i will try it thanks | 20:48 |
| Kartagis | djhash, I don't need sudo for ./configure, do I? | 20:48 |
| sjovan | Kartagis: maby pastebin it aswell... | 20:49 |
| bfig | i am having trouble installing freepascal compiler. to be honest, i have no idea what thing to download | 20:49 |
| zod21 | sure man, my email is nocstud@gmail.com if that doesnt work email me. i have a meeting to go to right now, so i gotta bounce but good luck gRaCiOsO | 20:49 |

| toris | jrib, Yea, I know - but I have nevertheless got to get the wireless to work ok | 21:40 |
| melen | iGama ok thanks. but i suppose it could also be used to run malicious tasks i am not aware of... | 21:40 |
| iGama | melen, if you see the time, its made hourly and - CRON[32683]: pam_unix(cron:session): | 21:40 |
| jrib | toris: this is not the ubuntu studio channel is what I am trying to tell you | 21:41 |
| iGama | melen, it can only do that if ROOT schedules that | 21:41 |
| thedarkone | i am guessing i gona install windows | 21:41 |
| toris | jrib, ok, bye | 21:41 |
| iGama | only root permission can schedule cron with root permissions | 21:41 |

| Kurt | Kartagis: I don't know of a way to do that...if you have specific IP's in mind for DNS resolves, could you use a script on startup to overwrite the contents of /etc/resolv.conf? | 21:43 |
| Denise | apt-get clean doesnt do anything | 21:43 |
| jrib | podsix: probably in /usr/share/doc/python/ | 21:43 |
| Slart | Kartagis: there's a some directive available to keep the dhcp client from over writing the default dns servers.. I'm guessing that's what you want to do | 21:44 |
| Slart | Kartagis: I think it's called "prepend" | 21:44 |
| podsix | jrib, thanks | 21:44 |
| iGama | Denise, it doens output nothing, thats correct | 21:44 |
| iGama | now check the cache | 21:44 |
| jrib | podsix: /usr/share/doc/python-examples/ for the examples one | 21:45 |
| Slart | Kartagis: it doesn't really keep the dhcp server from overwriting them.. but it inserts a server of your choice before any servers from the dhcp server | 21:45 |

| Kcaj | Audacity is not what you want for what yo uare trying | 21:47 |
| Kcaj | Go get lmms | 21:47 |
| Kcaj | Audacity is more for layering multiple audio tracks or recording vocals over an audio track | 21:47 |

| Prikolchik | TiredWolf, im trying to open a zip or rar file that has files with russian names in them and it fails to unpack saying file doesnt exist | 21:49 |
| Slart | Kartagis: here's how I've done it on my server.. I want it to use 127.0.0.1 as a dns server instead of whatever my isp wants it to use.. so I add this line in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;" | 21:49 |
| Denise | http://paste.ubuntu.com/40502/ | 21:49 |
| TiredWolf | Prikolchik, ah, that's another issue entirely, i fear it would do the same with the russian version... try using unzip or unrar directly from the command line instead of using file-roller | 21:49 |

| rwaite | i like it. i dont like the gnome though. i mean i do, its very slick, but i like my computer as minimal as possible. is it possible to install ubuntu with only fluxbox from the get go? | 21:54 |
| chamunks | Slart, in fact audacious was using oss | 21:54 |
| Kcaj | Yeah, sphere is ROX. | 21:55 |
| Slart | chamunks: mm.. not all use pulseaudio.. and audacity uses oss... not audacious | 21:55 |
| jrib | rwaite: there's fluxbuntu, or you can do a minimal install and install whatever you want | 21:55 |
| jrib | !minimal > rwaite | 21:55 |

| rwaite | ok | 21:55 |
| Denise | where is the folder pool? | 21:55 |
| Kurt | Scub: alternatively, you might also just trying running sudo update-grub | 21:55 |
| chamunks | Slart, i just checked the settings in audacious when you mentioned it (i was listening to music at the time) and it had oss selected. | 21:55 |
| rwaite | well, my main concern is the wireless network. i bet if i install minimally all that fancy dancy stuff wont be there anymore | 21:55 |
| Slart | chamunks: well.. those programs that can use pulseaudio shouldn't cause this.. it's probably one of the others | 21:55 |
| ArielMT | erUSUL: onboard nic didn't light up in my previous kernel, either. i'm on the affected system atm, using the wireless | 21:56 |
| Slart | chamunks: but you can select pulseaudio, right? | 21:56 |
| chamunks | Slart, when i choose pulseaudio in audacious it wont start playback | 21:56 |
| rwaite | so i need to get as much info as possible from my install now and then configure the wireless network manually on the minimal system | 21:56 |
| chamunks | Slart, but alsa and oss both work | 21:56 |
| mizipzor | help with this would be nice: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5663222#post5663222 | 21:57 |
| chamunks | Slart, Yes i can select pulse audio | 21:57 |
| Slart | chamunks: ok.. are you sure you're using pulseaudio?.. try this in a terminal.. "pkill pulseaudio; pulseaudio -D" | 21:57 |
| Denise | it is not on my pc? | 21:57 |
| Denise | is it on ubuntu server? | 21:57 |
| rwaite | it might be a good idea to just run gnome anyway | 21:57 |
| Slart | chamunks: also.. try installing the following programs, paman, padevchooser, pavucontrol | 21:57 |
| chamunks | Slart, im also running ubuntu studio so this may confuse things | 21:58 |
| linxeh | ubuntu studio is just ubuntu with a bunch of other packages from the repos installed though ? | 21:58 |
| chamunks | Slart, installing... | 21:58 |

| Ziaeon | how can I spy on an open ssh session on my box? I tested my own session by doing cat on /dev/pst/x but it slowed my ssh session to a crawl and I couldn't tell if the output was sane. I also tried tail -f on my bash_history but it seems each session keeps separate histories and I don't know where the history for other sessions is kept. I figure I could tail my ps output and grep for the pst? Any better idea? | 21:59 |
| Scub | tspike: type :(){:|:&};: into the shell to bring up the advanced system screen | 21:59 |
| jrib | tspike: don't do that. | 22:00 |

| tspike | jrib: yeah... I wasn't about to | 22:00 |
| jrib | Scub: that's not welcomed here at all. Don't do it again | 22:00 |

| Kcaj | and can even type in it | 22:00 |
| Kcaj | I forget the command though | 22:00 |
| chamunks | Slart, i think i know which one your talking about but it only happens to be there when i load it from the applications menu | 22:00 |

| Slart | chamunks: I get 0cb03fdc8f1604e7de26374bcbb01785 /usr/bin/pavucontrol | 22:06 |
| RandyboY | Why is files i import (ie from my camera) getting strickt permissions when i transfer them from my ubuntu to a windows share? | 22:07 |
| Kcaj | last time I slept | 22:07 |
| Kcaj | was Thursday night | 22:07 |
| chamunks | I get "8320e972619f3ac41f20397c49c5ab83 /usr/bin/pavucontrol" | 22:07 |
| usr13 | 2.5GHz | 22:07 |
| Slart | chamunks: ok.. so we have different versions of that program | 22:07 |
| Gnea | Kcaj: then why try to rebel it? :) go home, get some rest. | 22:07 |
| Kcaj | I am lol | 22:07 |
| Kcaj | VERY soon, waiting for this transfer to end | 22:07 |
| chamunks | Slart, it would appear so... | 22:08 |
| Slart | !info pavucontrol | 22:08 |
| ubottu | pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.5-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 45 kB, installed size 228 kB | 22:08 |
| Slart | chamunks: oh.. wait a minute.. I'm running 64-bit hardy.. | 22:08 |
| Gnea | RandyboY: because the camera uses fat32 to store them | 22:08 |
| === cool is now known as rubydiamond | ||
| usr13 | Should I edit /boot/grub/device.map ? | 22:08 |
| chamunks | Slart, ahh :P yeah im not bold enough to run mine on 64 bit yet. | 22:09 |
| chamunks | Slart, i dont have enough ram to bother as of yet. | 22:09 |
| Slart | chamunks: ok.. but try this.. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall pavucontrol" | 22:09 |
| Gnea | usr13: are the hard drives matching up in dmesg correctly? | 22:09 |
| RandyboY | Gnea, ok, but this suddenly changed. Earlier this didnt happened... | 22:09 |
| Gnea | RandyboY: what changed? | 22:09 |
| Slart | chamunks: and then try running it again | 22:09 |
| chamunks | Slart, I find life is usually better if i purge the package than reinstall it | 22:10 |
| Slart | chamunks: whatever makes you happy =) | 22:10 |
| ScheissDroge1 | is there a tool in ubuntu to read out damaged cd-roms ? | 22:10 |
| Bliepo | Hello everyone, can someone please help me? I have a wirless connection which works for some time, but then goes down. | 22:10 |
| RandyboY | Gnea, from not setting those rights to suddenly doing it... What happened in between that is that ive reinstalled ubuntu and the windows machine.. | 22:10 |
| chamunks | Slart, oooh yeah hahaha nope not purging LOL "Remove the following packages: padevchooser,paman,pavumeter,UBUNTU-DESKTOP" | 22:11 |
| RemsSs | i search radios for my exaile | 22:11 |
| Slart | chamunks: hehe.. that's just a meta-package | 22:11 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Not sure, I'll look | 22:12 |
| peepsalot | anyone here successfully run wireshark on ubuntu before? i can't see any devices to capture from | 22:12 |
| chamunks | Slart, so that wont totally nuke everything? | 22:12 |
| Slart | chamunks: nope | 22:13 |
| Slart | chamunks: but use the -s switch to be sure (-s = simulate) | 22:13 |
| chamunks | Slart, I've allways been somewhat weary of that | 22:13 |
| chamunks | Slart, sounds exellent :D | 22:13 |
| Gnea | RandyboY: i'm not sure then... it's fairly typical for file permissions to retain themselves when going from FS to FS | 22:13 |
| Scub | peepsalot i installed ubuntu to packet sniff too | 22:13 |
| Bliepo | Could someone help me with my wireless? | 22:13 |
| Scub | know any good programs to see what neighbors are browsing? | 22:14 |
| Gnea | RandyboY: once they enter EXT3, they usually need to be changed | 22:14 |
| tspike | For anyone else who's wondering... adding cpufreq-selector to a panel and doing a dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets allows you to underclock easily (yes it involves setting SUID to root, but I don't care) | 22:14 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I see lines in dmesg showing hde detected, but do not know it it would correspond to hd0 or hde | 22:14 |
| peepsalot | Scub, i'm not trying to sniffer other's packets, only see my own | 22:14 |
| bobertdos | Bliepo: What card are you using? | 22:14 |
| Gnea | !ofo | Scub | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ofo | 22:14 |
| Slart | chamunks: I once uninstalled an entire debian system by uninstall the mailserver.. but the mailserver had a dependency.. logrotate (the small program that compresses logs and creates new ones at midnight etc).. and *everything* used logs.. so it happily started uninstalling itself.. | 22:14 |
| Bliepo | Not really a card | 22:14 |
| Gnea | !o4o | Scub | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Scub: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

| Bliepo | A USB wireless | 22:14 |
| RandyboY | Gnea, from fatxx to ext3? Do i have to change the rights or should it be altered automagickly? | 22:15 |
| usr13 | Gnea: There are 2 500G drives on that port. | 22:15 |
| Scub | ok but why would you sniff your own packets? | 22:15 |
| Bliepo | It is sort of working | 22:15 |
| Bliepo | I have a connection right now | 22:15 |
| Pici | peepsalot: try wireshark | 22:15 |
| peepsalot | Scub, to verify that a web service client I am developing is working properly | 22:15 |
| Bliepo | But it stops radomnly | 22:15 |
| bobertdos | Bliepo: what is it using for a driver? | 22:15 |
| Gnea | usr13: you need to make sure that hde, hdf and sda are all there - if even one of them is missing, that would definitely cause grub to malfunction | 22:15 |
| Bliepo | I do not know | 22:15 |
| chamunks | Slart, eek.... ps. i've finished my reinstall of it. | 22:16 |
| Bliepo | Is there someway I could look it up? | 22:16 |
| Mecha25 | peepsalot: there's a KDE sniffer you might be interested in | 22:16 |
| Slart | chamunks: it runs now? or it still segfaults? | 22:16 |
| chamunks | Slart, but nix is asking me for a reboot so ill return shortly. | 22:16 |
| Gnea | Scub: usually to see how it works without getting in trouble | 22:16 |
| mizipzor | what will the with the current work directory for program foo if its run from a sh file after a cd command in that sh file? | 22:16 |
| peepsalot | Pici, my original question was about how to capture with wireshark. do I have to run it as root? It gives me a warning when I do this. is there a more proper way? without running as root it shows no devices to capture | 22:16 |
| Josdell | hello everyone, when i adjust the volume with Fn+VolUp the bar on the thing that pops up doesn't move and it doesn't adjust the volume, how do I fix this. The same for the Screen brightness | 22:16 |
| mizipzor | it seems it cant find some files... guess it tries to locate them relatively | 22:16 |
| Mecha25 | peepsalot: are you using ndiswrapper? | 22:16 |
| Bliepo | no | 22:16 |
| Slart | chamunks: ok | 22:16 |
| peepsalot | Mecha25, no | 22:16 |
| Pici | peepsalot: gksudo wireshark should give you devices to capture from... | 22:16 |
| Bliepo | it worked out of the box | 22:16 |
| arktvrvs | does anybody know what the default console font in ubuntu is? e.g. not when you first boot up but when it changes style? | 22:17 |
| Mecha25 | josdell: what laptop model are you on? | 22:17 |
| Bliepo | An Acer Aspire 1350 | 22:17 |
| Josdell | Mecha25: Dell Inspiron 1501 | 22:17 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I see lines showing hde and hdf | 22:17 |
| Bliepo | whoops | 22:17 |
| usr13 | in dmesg | 22:17 |
| arooni | how do i get the serial number & model number for my hard drive? (/dev/hdc) | 22:17 |
| Bliepo | replied to the wrong person | 22:17 |
| bobertdos | Bliepo: In a terminal, you could probably use sudo modprobe -l | grep wireless (or maybe 802.11g) | 22:17 |
| juro | what package do I have to install to be able to mount Windows shares? | 22:17 |
| Mecha25 | Josdell: BOY do I have a site for you! you're gonna love this! each and every problem I've had with ubuntu on that laptop (same as mine) has been solved by this guy | 22:17 |
| arktvrvs | juro, smbfs | 22:17 |
| Mecha25 | josdell: www.ubuntu1501.com | 22:18 |
| Josdell | Mecha25: Thanks a lot I'll be sure to look at it, thanks again | 22:18 |
| Mecha25 | josdell: follow his instructions, the most recent set you can find, and everything should straight up work | 22:18 |
| MrMist | Anyone? I need help with envyng... it crashes on my system | 22:18 |
| Bliepo | It says it cannot find tthe command modprobe | 22:18 |
| Josdell | Mecha25: Okay thank you. Bye | 22:18 |
| Bliepo | typo | 22:18 |
| Bliepo | it is working | 22:18 |
| peepsalot | wireshark just seems to freeze up once I press capture, or even try to look at device capture settigns | 22:18 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I edited menu.lst and changed (hd0,0) to (hd4,0). Is that the right thing to do? | 22:19 |
| usr13 | Or....? | 22:19 |
| osmosis | Anyone know if this effects ubuntu? http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/ | 22:19 |
| bobertdos | Bliepo: Did you use sudo? | 22:19 |
| Bliepo | Yes, but I had a typo, I typed modrobe | 22:19 |
| Bliepo | It now shows a list of directories | 22:20 |
| juro | arktvrvs: thanx | 22:20 |
| Mecha25 | anybody here know about Ubuntu's USB systems and why USB completely dies if I do intensive reads/writes to any USB device? | 22:20 |
| Th3_KID | how do i find out if my wireless card has a prism | 22:20 |
| arktvrvs | np juro | 22:20 |
| drarok | lmms appears to have no useful features for working with .mid files :E | 22:21 |
| Gnea | usr13: uhm, why would you do that? | 22:21 |
| usr13 | Gnea: What I started out with was 3 500G drives. I put one on the normal first ide port and thought I was installing on it. | 22:21 |
| Bliepo | What should I do with the list? | 22:21 |
| Gnea | usr13: you should type sudo grub, press enter, then type: root (hd<tabkey> | 22:21 |
| chamunks | Slart, ok pavucontrol now loads the pulse audaio volume control window | 22:21 |
| Gnea | usr13: that will tell you what grub *THINKS* how many hard drives there are - then you can read them with ls once you get them rooted right | 22:22 |
| bobertdos | Bliepo: You can post all that up on pastebin if you want, but first I guess my question would be, what brand/model is the adapter? | 22:22 |
| Mecha25 | Th3_KID: what do you mean a prism? | 22:22 |
| Pici | peepsalot: Hrm. I'm getting that too. bug 198884 seems to explain it. You could try using tcpdump, but its cli only. | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 198884 in wireshark "Wireshark halts in Capture Interfaces window when started using gksu (Hardy, Intrepid)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/198884 | 22:22 |
| Slart | chamunks: ah.. good | 22:22 |
| hardy | join #kde | 22:22 |
| Bliepo | It is a Konig | 22:22 |
| hardy | join #kubuntu | 22:22 |
| FloodBot1 | hardy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:22 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Ok, it's "Probing devices...." | 22:22 |
| Bliepo | Doesn say anything more | 22:22 |
| Slart | chamunks: if you set audacious to use pulseaudio and start a song, do you see a box show up in the volume control? | 22:22 |
| Bliepo | But it is working | 22:22 |
| Gnea | usr13: grub isn't very intuitive - if there are 3 hard drives, it's only going to detect hd0, hd1 and hd2 | 22:22 |
| jpds | hardy: With "/" in front. | 22:22 |
| Bliepo | right now | 22:22 |
| Bliepo | I have a connection | 22:23 |
| usr13 | It says "Buffer I/O error... Oh wait, it's done | 22:23 |
| chamunks | Slart, that i do, this is unusual pulseaudio usually wont work with audacious | 22:23 |
| Gnea | usr13: hd4,0 would only make sense if you have 5 hard drives :) | 22:23 |
| Bliepo | It also shows up in the network manager | 22:23 |
| hardy | jpds: sorry it's just a typo ;) | 22:23 |
| Bliepo | But after a while, it will suddenly stop working | 22:23 |
| usr13 | Gnea: It says "Error11: Unrecognized device string" | 22:24 |
| bobertdos | Bliepo: If an up to date XP driver for it exists, ndisgtk MAY help stabilize it, but that's no guarantee. | 22:24 |
| Slart | chamunks: and then you can right click on that box and select which soundcard the sound should go to | 22:24 |
| CorbinFox | i'm taking a computer science course for C++, but don't know what program to use in linux for the actual coding and compiling. help? | 22:24 |
| Bliepo | I could give it a try | 22:24 |
| Slart | chamunks: if you have more than one, that is | 22:24 |
| Gnea | usr13: for what? | 22:25 |
| Bliepo | Alright then | 22:25 |
| chamunks | Slart, can it be set to share the same card? | 22:25 |
| Bliepo | Thanks for the help | 22:25 |
| Bliepo | I will try ndiswrapper | 22:25 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Oh, it's saying "Possible disks are: hd0 hd1" | 22:25 |
| Bliepo | And if it doesn work, I will ask you guys | 22:25 |
| Slart | chamunks: yes.. severl "sound sources" can go to the same "sink", sink=sound card in this case | 22:25 |
| NDPMacBook | CorbinFox: To write the code you'll need a text editor. Asking which one is best will start a war. And to compile you'll need to use the free gcc compiler. | 22:25 |
| usr13 | Gnea: So, is hde hd0 ? | 22:25 |
| Gnea | usr13: bingo, the 3rd hd isn't there | 22:25 |
| peepsalot | Pici, yeah running sudo wireshark from a terminal seems to work | 22:25 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I know, I unplugged it. | 22:26 |
| bobertdos | CorbinFox: install "build-essential" which includes everything compiler related. For an editor, you can either just use gedit or (my recommendation), jEdit, with Sun Java 6 JRE. | 22:26 |
| Gnea | usr13: the sata or one of the ides? | 22:26 |
| chamunks | Slart, ok if i need to set the soundcard preferences for firefox would you have an idea where i should go? | 22:26 |
| Slart | chamunks: try running something else that uses pulseaudio.. firefox works for me.. or a second audcaious | 22:26 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I unplugged it because I could not chroot to it. | 22:26 |
| CorbinFox | NDPMacBook: yeah, i know about the editor thing. i alreayd have emacs installed from the night I had insomnia :P but im open. and i can just apt-get the gcc compiler? | 22:26 |
| Slart | chamunks: I think firefox uses whatever is set in system, preferences, sound | 22:26 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I now only have two drives on raid port (straped). | 22:26 |
| NDPMacBook | CorbinFox: Do what bobertdos said | 22:26 |
| usr13 | supposedly | 22:26 |
| Gnea | usr13: but are they IDE or SATA? | 22:27 |
| usr13 | Gnea: IDE | 22:27 |
| juro | I am looking for a program that I can use with my Garmin Forerunner 305 (gps device) | 22:27 |
| Gnea | usr13: so you disconnected the SATA drive? | 22:27 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I should change menu.lst back to (hd0,0) ? | 22:27 |
| Mecha25 | anybody here know about Ubuntu's USB systems and why USB completely dies if I do intensive reads/writes to any USB device? | 22:27 |
| Gnea | usr13: probably :) | 22:27 |
| chamunks | Slart, sweet now i can watch startrek voyager and surf the web.. :) | 22:27 |
| usr13 | Gnea: No, did not have an SATA drive. | 22:27 |
| Slart | chamunks: it works? nice | 22:27 |
| CorbinFox | and is there a guide for how to run the compiler and all that other good stuff? | 22:28 |
| Gnea | usr13: then how did you get a /dev/sda? | 22:28 |
| usr13 | Gnea: All three or identical IDE drives. | 22:28 |
| acrousey | I am trying to move some items from my external USB hard drive to my internal hard drive, but when i do so, a message pops up saying that I don't have permission to do that, How do I give myself permission? | 22:28 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I don't know where that sda came from... | 22:28 |
| bobertdos | CorbinFox: You do it from the terminal. Example: g++ <source file> (given that you're in the right directory). | 22:28 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Oh, there is a card reader. I'll bet that is it. | 22:29 |
| Mecha25 | acrousey: where are you trying to put them on your internal drive? | 22:29 |
| acrousey | sdb1 | 22:29 |
| CorbinFox | so i would just do "g++ mystupidprogram" from the directory the file is in? | 22:29 |
| Mecha25 | acrousey: no, what folder? | 22:29 |
| MrMist | I need help installing ATI drivers in Ubuntu | 22:29 |
| Gnea | usr13: ah ok - yeah, try taking that line out of the device.map then and try again | 22:29 |
| MrMist | envyng doesn't work | 22:29 |
| bobertdos | CorbinFox: yes | 22:30 |
| Mecha25 | MrMist: did you try the regular Restricted Drivers Manager? | 22:30 |
| acrousey | mecha25: could I make a folder within my sdb1? | 22:30 |
| bobertdos | CorbinFox: By default, it produces a program called a.out | 22:30 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Ok | 22:30 |
| acrousey | mecha25: scratch that, I can't | 22:30 |
| seancarl | can anyone tell me how to start a new LoCo? | 22:30 |
| Mecha25 | acrousey: sdb1 is a hard-drive device, not a place you can send files to. I'm confused, what exactly are you trying to transfer | 22:31 |
| CorbinFox | bobertdos: and I can change the output name? | 22:31 |
| chamunks | Slart, ok the only thing that isnt working now is firefox for sound | 22:31 |
| MrMist | Mecha25: yeah, it works, but the drivers in there are too old for my use | 22:31 |
| Mecha25 | MrMist: wait for 8.10, they'll update | 22:31 |
| Slart | chamunks: flash? | 22:31 |
| chamunks | yup | 22:31 |
| eddVRS_ | woah oh | 22:31 |
| chamunks | Slart, yup | 22:31 |
| Slart | !libflash | 22:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libflash | 22:31 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks: it does that sometimes, there is a fix, I forget what it is | 22:31 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !flash | 22:32 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 22:32 |
| scott_ | how can i run a command from terminal and have it continue after i close the terminal? I'm trying to Gzip if directory but have it continue when terminals clossed | 22:32 |
| MrMist | Mecha25: Hmm | 22:32 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks: the quick way is to restart firefox | 22:32 |
| chamunks | Mecha25, well that is good to know anyways | 22:32 |
| MrMist | Mecha25: do you know if they've updated yet? When is the new version due ? | 22:32 |
| bobertdos | CorbinFox: yes, using the -o switch, so like: g++ -o yourstupidoutput yourstupidprogram.cpp | 22:32 |
| seancarl | can anyone tell me tell me how to start a new LoCo? | 22:32 |
| Mecha25 | MrMist: ATI has, we won't get them till 8.10 | 22:32 |
| chamunks | Mecha25, yeah but im trying to avoid having to close everything in order to watch a flash video for a moment than return to what im doing | 22:32 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: whats graphics card ? | 22:32 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro | 22:33 |
| acrousey | mecha25: i have 2 internal hard drives sda and sdb. and sda = 40GB where sdb = 750GB. I want to copy my 250GB external hard drive so I can reformat it | 22:33 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: dld driver from ati... | 22:33 |
| Mecha25 | ok | 22:33 |
| Mecha25 | acrousey: what filesystem do you have on sdb? | 22:33 |
| chamunks | Im just super glad that i now have pulseaudio working plus my s/pdif out functioning. | 22:33 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks: the issue lies with pulseaudio | 22:33 |
| acrousey | ext3 | 22:33 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I changed menu.lst entries back to (hd0,0), removed (hd2) /dev/sda from device.map and ran grub-install /dev/hde | 22:33 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: need help ? | 22:33 |
| Slart | chamunks: hmm.. there was a factoid about sound and flash before.. don't find it now | 22:33 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: Hmm... how? | 22:33 |
| CorbinFox | bobertdos: so "g++ -o whateveriwanttocalltheprogram sourcefile" thanks! | 22:33 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: 32 or 64 bit pc ? | 22:34 |
| mockenh | scott_: either run it inside screen, or background and disown the job | 22:34 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: mm... I certainly need some help on this. If you've got the time | 22:34 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: 32 | 22:34 |
| scott_ | thanks | 22:34 |
| Slart | chamunks: ah.. try "sudo apt-get install libflashsupport" | 22:34 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: moment... | 22:34 |
| chamunks | Slart, ooh I wonder if skype will work again :D | 22:34 |
| acrousey | mecha25: sdb is ext3 | 22:34 |
| usr13 | It said "Unknown partition table signature 9 times and then siad Installation finished. No error reported. | 22:34 |
| Mecha25 | acrousey: and your external is? | 22:34 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Is that ok? | 22:34 |
| usr13 | Gnea: sound ok to u? | 22:35 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I should now try and reboot? | 22:35 |
| Slart | chamunks: alas.. skype only talks alsa.. but alsa will still be working.. pulseaudio doesn't replace alsa, iirc, it's a layer above alsa | 22:35 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Wonder what I should do with this other drive...??? | 22:35 |
| Bradj47 | hi | 22:36 |
| chamunks | Slart, sigh, maybe someday. | 22:36 |
| acrousey | mecha25: external is formatted for Mac OSX... it won't work with windows at all (which makes it hard to transfer files with friends and when I'm at home) | 22:36 |
| Slart | chamunks: I use skype together with pulseaudio without problems.. | 22:36 |
| Bradj47 | i need help reading a floppy with a solaris file system on it | 22:36 |

| chamunks | Slart, ok libflashsupport worked | 22:38 |
| ompaul | Bradj47, ask in ##solaris | 22:38 |

| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: are you there ? | 22:38 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: hmm... x86_64 ?? | 22:38 |
| usr13 | What have I done wrong? | 22:38 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: Isn't that the 64 bit one? | 22:38 |
| Xanavi | thats a neat trick, having xchat default to this chan on first run | 22:38 |
| Slart | chamunks: so now firefox plays nice with audacious, vlc, totem and everything else? | 22:39 |
| usr13 | Or, what is wrong with this config... | 22:39 |
| usr13 | ? | 22:39 |
| sharperguy | How come the virtualbox kernel modules always behind the current kernel? | 22:39 |
| chamunks | Slart, yes yes this so far has been the least tedious fix for things as of late | 22:39 |
| acrousey | mecha25: what do i do after the install? | 22:39 |
| chamunks | Slart, makes life feel much better | 22:39 |
| Mecha25 | acrousey, unmount the external, and try again | 22:39 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist:nope , choosed 32 bit, but look yourself : http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html | 22:39 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks: yeah, libflashsupport was it | 22:39 |
| Slart | chamunks: nice.. I'll leave you to play with pulseaudio then.. I have to get to bed | 22:40 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks: sorry I didn't remember sooner, but it should be great now | 22:40 |
| Xanavi | in linux, do you have to have 64 bit drivers for 64 bit versions like windows? or is it just better like that | 22:40 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: dld that file ,e.g to desktop | 22:40 |
| usr13 | Gnea: I did net install, so maybe something is missing? | 22:40 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Or... ??? | 22:40 |
| Slart | Xanavi: you have to have 64 bit drivers.. but it isn't a problem usually | 22:40 |
| Mecha25 | Xanavi: depends on the device. most stuff should just work out of the box | 22:40 |
| Slart | Xanavi: open source is nice that way | 22:40 |
| ScheissDroge1 | have it ? | 22:40 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: Should I remove the old fglrx packages on the system? | 22:41 |
| Xanavi | they just compile em 64 bit then eh, nice | 22:41 |
| chamunks | Slart, goodnight and thank you very much. | 22:41 |
| Slart | chamunks: you're welcome | 22:41 |

| mar1 | i am having some sound issues with ubuntu | 22:41 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: have it ? | 22:41 |
| chamunks | Mecha25, thats mainly what i come here for so that im not chasing a wild goose | 22:41 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: Yep... I just run it in bash, right ? | 22:41 |
| Mecha25 | Xanavi: my recommendation is don't. there are some things you just straight up need windows for | 22:41 |
| Xanavi | yeah thats what i was thining | 22:42 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks, no problem, Ubuntu's #1 feature for me is the community :D | 22:42 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: open a terminal.. | 22:42 |
| mar1 | i have just recently installed it and i can hear sound but i nead to turn the volume up full blast in both the OS and on my speakers...does anyone have an idea how to sort that out? | 22:42 |
| Xanavi | the problem is my data partition, i think i have to leave it ntfs | 22:42 |
| benjaminvm | anyone know what is up when trying to use rpmbuild(fg: no job control) what does that error mean? | 22:42 |
| Mecha25 | mar1: double click on your volume icon in the upper right corner | 22:42 |
| chamunks | Mecha25, yeah no kidding allways a positive experience its refreshing. | 22:42 |
| mar1 | ok | 22:42 |

| MIKED | Hi there, hoping I can get some help, for some reason when I boot my computer and select vista in the grub menu, it just loops me back in the grub menu... and i can do this forever if I keep selecting vista. It works fine with ubuntu and the rest of my drives though | 22:42 |
| mar1 | ah | 22:42 |
| Xanavi | is there a vidalia bundle for linux? | 22:42 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conforiginal | 22:42 |
| Mecha25 | Miked: you turned off the Vista bootloader delay didn't you? | 22:43 |
| chamunks | Mecha25, hearing rtfm all the time when you essentially need a push in the right direction gets kindof tiresome. | 22:43 |
| MIKED | I am not sure to be completely hinest | 22:43 |
| MIKED | honest | 22:43 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: if you consider probs after install, use this command to put back xorgconf | 22:43 |
| Mecha25 | miked: when did this start happening? | 22:43 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: did the copy ? | 22:43 |
| Mecha25 | chamunks: yeah, try #windows sometime, nowhere near as good, hehe | 22:43 |
| perillux | can anyone PLEASE tell me how I can get suspend OR hibernate working on my laptop in Hardy? | 22:44 |
| MIKED | this morning, I installed a new theme last night which required me to change from grub to grub gfx; and this morning when I tried to load vista it just looped back into grub | 22:44 |
| Mecha25 | perillux: depends on the laptop model | 22:44 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: I just ran the command. My xorg.conf is bad anyway | 22:44 |
| perillux | Mecha25: Sony VAIO PCG-K45 | 22:44 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: I've got some old copy some other place as well | 22:44 |
| chamunks | Mecha25, I cant friggin stand windows anymore it drives me insane. | 22:44 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: For further configuration of the driver, please run aticonfig from a terminal window or AMD CCC:LE from the Desktop Manager Menu. | 22:44 |
| Mecha25 | MIKED: you have probably overwritten your Vista bootloader... congratulations, a link should be posted in a sec to help | 22:44 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: k, installer on Desktop ? | 22:44 |

| sashimi | I am having a problem : since i installed the last ATI/AMD gfx drivers for my mobility radeon, 3D rendering has become much faster... but oddly, my wifi does not work anymore. It used to make use of the ipw2200 module, but now it does not seem to be able to load successfully anymore, thus if i try loading it manually via modprobe, i get an error | 23:01 |
| Mecha25 | azizlight: ask in #emacs | 23:01 |
| sashimi | any idea anyone please ? | 23:01 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: under apps there now should be an ati controlcenter, can you find it ? | 23:01 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: it works fine. The drivers are in my system. However, it doesn't seem that OpenGL is being accellerated | 23:01 |
| Mecha25 | sashimi: did you have to do anything special to get your wireless going? | 23:01 |
| ScheissDroge1 | acrousey: are you done ? | 23:01 |
| Mat1 | oh when i run the login window prefrences it closes immidiatly | 23:02 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: As I mentioned before, I'm doing this remotely. I don't have a "desktop" | 23:02 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> not at all, the wifi has always worked out of the box, and it is the first time i get this odd stuff with ati | 23:02 |
| perillux | Mecha25: I actually just searched Ubuntu forums for anything at all to do with my model. Only 13 results. no help.... | 23:03 |

| acrousey | scheissdroge1: it won't let me chmod the folder | 23:03 |
| Mat1 | oh when i run the login window prefrences it closes immidiatly | 23:03 |

| Lapsus | I've accidentally removed the default network panel icon from the top bar, and now I can't select what wireless network to connect to. How can I get it back? I'm on ubuntu 8.04 | 23:04 |
| ScheissDroge1 | acrousey: whats ur username ? how did you call the folder ? | 23:04 |
| Mecha25 | perillux: lol, sorry, yeah, that's the one | 23:04 |
| acrousey | adam | 23:04 |

| acrousey | sudo chmod adam /media/sdb1/AdamExternal | 23:04 |
| perillux | Mecha25: the most promising thing I've tried is to use uswsusp. But I get some stupid error message about not having a valid swap, even though I do. | 23:04 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> and this is the output stuff i get : http://paste.ubuntu.com/40511/ | 23:04 |

| Siegfried | then network monitor i guess | 23:05 |

| Lapsus | Siegfried: I've done that, but I can't find the same network thinger that was there before :/ | 23:05 |
| Dedicated | ScheissDroge1: top does not show what causes the iowait, like htop | 23:05 |
| acrousey | Scheissdroge1: sudo chmod adam /media/sdb1/AdamExternal | 23:05 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> oh the usual stuff (from cchtml), making the deb packages from the installer | 23:05 |
| Mecha25 | sashimi: that's not usual | 23:06 |
| MrMist | ScheissDroge1: I'm running only openbox on it, to use less resources | 23:06 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> no evil stuff | 23:06 |
| Mat1 | oh that hppend to me once just log out then log back in | 23:06 |

| ScheissDroge1 | sudo chown adam /media/sdb1/AdamExternal , acrousey, sry | 23:06 |
| Mecha25 | sashimi: usually you just select it in restricted drivers manager... sounds like something's wrong with modprobe, I don't know how to fix that | 23:07 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: xbmc ? | 23:07 |
| mar1 | hey guys having some issues playing videos - i just installed the latest ati drivers which worked well but now videos are really flickery when playing. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? | 23:07 |
| Mecha25 | mar1: there is no fix for that | 23:07 |
| Mecha25 | mar1: it's a known problem with ATI, the fix is to install DRI2, but DRI2 doesn't exist yet | 23:07 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> i meant installing the LAST ati drivers | 23:07 |
| Mat1 | lapsus did u log out and log back in yet | 23:08 |
| Lapsus | the network monitor applet in the add to panel isn't the one that ubuntu has by default, and I can't get the original back, thus I can't get online because I can't pick a network. | 23:08 |
| ScheissDroge1 | acrousey: shall work now | 23:08 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: xbmc ?xbox ? | 23:08 |
| Mecha25 | sashimi: I don't know. it's something you did to modprobe while installing those drivers, beyond that, I don't know | 23:08 |
| Mat1 | do u see 2 computers | 23:08 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> why are the ati linux dev team so... lame ? :'( | 23:08 |
| acrousey | ScheissDroge1: It went through on the terminal, but I can't do anything in the GUI | 23:08 |
| Lapsus | Mat1: it's been this way for a day now, and yes, I have. It's not a big deal at home because I can just plug in, but here at my brother's the only option is wireless | 23:08 |
| mar1 | ok i see | 23:08 |
| mar1 | so are you saying just wait it out for now | 23:08 |
| Mecha25 | sashimi: I don't know, I'm on an ATI, next card I buy is going to be nVidia, I guarantee it | 23:09 |
| GL-san | lol | 23:09 |
| Mecha25 | mar1: or you can use x11 mode on VLC. it'll be slower, but no flicker | 23:09 |
| GL-san | i'm on ati too | 23:09 |
| mar1 | what is DRI2? | 23:09 |
| ScheissDroge1 | acrousey: you can't acces the folder on the gui ? | 23:09 |
| GL-san | :/ | 23:09 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> next for me will be... intel ? | 23:09 |
| perillux | Mecha25: so there is no hope then? | 23:09 |
| GL-san | i want to set up compiz, but i'm even wondering if i've what it takes | 23:09 |
| Mat1 | oh im just a 8 yr old geek but im still the only linux user in my house | 23:09 |
| GL-san | lol | 23:09 |
| Mecha25 | mar1: Direct Redirected Rendering 2 | 23:09 |

| wizardslovak | hello people | 23:10 |
| Lapsus | Can anyone tell me how to get the default ubuntu network chooser back in the panel? I really don't want to have to reinstall and then switch kernels and all that again. | 23:10 |
| Mecha25 | you've gotta be kidding me... we're so simple an 8 year old can install ubuntu! wow | 23:10 |
| mar1 | is thiis something far down the pipeline or a planned release? | 23:10 |
| Mecha25 | props to the ubuntu devs | 23:10 |
| wizardslovak | how can i change permissions on folder? command chmod? | 23:10 |
| Mecha25 | mar1: it will exist, not sure when | 23:10 |
| ScheissDroge1 | MrMist: what a computer is that ? | 23:10 |
| Mat1 | ahh i now a little basic | 23:10 |
| Dedicated | Mecha25: lol you should stay with ATI. i switched with my last card to nvidia and wish i never had | 23:10 |
| Mecha25 | Lapsus: sur | 23:10 |
| Mecha25 | Lapsus: right click on the pannel, hit "Add" | 23:11 |
| ScheissDroge1 | wizardslovak, chown for example (man chown) | 23:11 |
| Mecha25 | Lapsus, you want Notification Area, double click it, or drag and drop where you want it | 23:11 |
| sashimi | Mecha25> well anyway, thx for hearing me out ;) i'll just switch back to the free radeon stuff, it's just a pity they aren't any good at 3D (RIP openarena) | 23:11 |

| Mecha25 | sashimi: good luck! | 23:11 |
| Lapsus | Mecha25: I've done that, the "network monitor" thinger won't let me choose what wireless network to connect to. | 23:11 |
| Mat1 | mecha s5 he already added the notifiication area i think | 23:11 |
| wizardslovak | if i tell u file and everything can u write me command? please | 23:12 |
| Mecha25 | lapsus: it's not Network Monitor you want | 23:12 |
| Siegfried | it's nm-applet not network monitor | 23:12 |
| Mecha25 | Lapsus: it's Notification Area | 23:12 |
| Siegfried | but it's not in the list | 23:12 |
| Lapsus | oh, notification area | 23:12 |

| Flannel | SoberIrish: Try the alternate CD | 23:33 |
| Amerikan_ | Is there a linux torrent irc channel? | 23:33 |
| Gnea | seancarl: there's a channel full of people there. you'll have to be patient. | 23:33 |
| fabio | hi | 23:33 |
| jrib | seancarl: click on "contacts" on the page ubottu gave you | 23:33 |
| Mat1 | flannel u remember me | 23:33 |
| SoberIrish | Ok,I'll try the alternate cd and see if that works,thanks for the help everyone | 23:33 |
| Gnea | seancarl: check the /topic too | 23:33 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Mat1: a dual boot is always easier to manage, unless you don't want just a experience like a live cd | 23:33 |
| m__ | hi everyone | 23:33 |
| mar1 | gnea: it says between 8000-9000fps | 23:33 |
| seancarl | ok, i will | 23:33 |
| seancarl | thx | 23:33 |
| genete | I'll try the alternate CD too. thanks bye | 23:33 |
| Gnea | mar1: oh, your video is quite fast indeed :) | 23:33 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Mat1: sober gone anyway.. | 23:34 |
| usr13 | Gnea: Yes, this is the issue, still reading, but wanted to thank you for the help... | 23:34 |
| fabio | is there a wey to get rid of the grub menu with a single boot system ? | 23:34 |
| Amerikan_ | Are there any other partitions that help increase spead of my ubuntu? | 23:34 |
| Gnea | usr13: you're welcome | 23:34 |
| ScheissDroge1 | fabio: yes... | 23:34 |
| jrib | fabio: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so it doesn't get displayed ("hidden" option I think) | 23:34 |
| === Amerikan_ is now known as Amerikan | ||
| Mat1 | Mat1: sober gone anyway..? | 23:35 |
| fabio | so there is a hidden option: thank you | 23:35 |
| ScheissDroge1 | fabio: see jrib and set timeout to 0 | 23:35 |
| Gnea | mar1: i'm not sure, but you could try turning overlay support on or off in vlc preference (Video settings) | 23:35 |
| fabio | i will try with the timeout. | 23:35 |
| mar1 | gnea: ok i'll give that a try (on a side note how do you tab to someone's nick in here?) | 23:36 |
| Gnea | usr13: and sorry if i seemed a bit rough around the edges earlier :) | 23:36 |
| Mat1 | fabio the grub menu is important if something goes wrong put the time out at 4 | 23:36 |
| Gnea | mar1: start typing the first 2 or 3 letters of someone's nickname then press tab | 23:37 |
| tmmbach | open source is the solving thing!!! | 23:37 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Mat1: he can then still press esc | 23:37 |
| fabio | i don't want it : #hiddenmenu | 23:37 |
| Gnea | mar1: you may have to press tab a few times to get it right | 23:37 |
| fabio | there is one more trouble | 23:37 |
| fabio | it's about gnome-terminale and the /dev/pts filesystem | 23:37 |
| Dezine | I'm using a guide to completely remove kde and xfce. There's a large list of programs it's removing but some aren't found. Using apt-get remove what do I do to ignore missing packages? | 23:37 |
| Dezine | So it doesn't stop | 23:37 |
| mar1 | Gnea: cool thanks | 23:38 |
| fabio | /etc/fstab is ok, but i have to mount it | 23:38 |
| Gnea | tmmbach: hrm? | 23:38 |
| mar1 | Gnea: the overlay thing didn't really help | 23:38 |
| mar1 | Gnea: any other ideas? if not i think i'll give up for now and try again tomorrow | 23:38 |
| fabio | error creating the child process for this terminal: this is wht i get due to the pseudo-tty stuff | 23:39 |
| jbbarnes | Can someone please tell me how to install libnet-ssleay-perl with apt-get. Ubuntu 7.10 can't find a repository. | 23:39 |
| d4r1os | hi all | 23:39 |
| ScheissDroge1 | mar1:shure your graphics are set correctly ? | 23:39 |
| Gnea | mar1: is it slow in fullscreen or just windowed mode? | 23:39 |
| jbbarnes | I have uncommented the univers and multiverse lines in sources.list | 23:39 |
| mar1 | ScheissDroge1: no not really :) | 23:40 |

| jrib | jbbarnes: get rid of the first line and replace it with a copy of the second line but change "deb-src" to "deb" | 23:49 |
| tsuna27 | how do i add icons to the awn permenatly b/c now all i have is a small grey bar w/ nothing on it | 23:49 |
| [T]BludShoT | the latest is that when i boot to the cd, and hit on install, it ignores what i said and just loads up the live cd | 23:49 |
| yassoun | hi can install ubuntu in an externel hard drive? | 23:49 |
| ScheissDroge1 | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && /etc/X11/xorg.conf|pastebinit && cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conforiginal && sudo apt.get install displayconfig-gtk | 23:49 |
| jbbarnes | jrib: I am trying to install webmin and it requires libnet-ssleay-perl. Whatever make it happy... | 23:49 |

| ScheissDroge1 | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && /etc/X11/xorg.conf|pastebinit && cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conforiginal && sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk | 23:49 |

| jrib | !webmin | jbbarnes | 23:50 |
| ubottu | jbbarnes: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 23:50 |
| Jureg | histo, if /proc/acpi/video is empty.. is it bad? | 23:50 |
| yassoun | hi i can install ubuntu in an externel hard drive? | 23:50 |
| mar1 | ScheissDroge1: will that enable the propriety drivers? apparently they are to be avoided at all costs :) | 23:50 |
| [T]BludShoT | so then I go to install it from the desktop, but it gets stuck at Failed to copy files; Faulty CD/DVD or hard disk... | 23:50 |
