| [T]BludShoT | i created a CD, and i boot to that CD, then hit on Install. First dozen times it would get to like step 6 or i guess 7 and then freeze at 15% | 00:15 |
| [T]BludShoT | so then i'd just have to reboot | 00:15 |
| OmfgItsAshark | blud shot | 00:15 |
| [T]BludShoT | (and i mean i waited like hours after it froze) | 00:15 |

| slammed87d21 | how do i install a kernal for virtual box? | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, i never noticed syngery making any configs. - You do need to stop/restart the service for it to reread the configs I recall. | 00:18 |
| [T]BludShoT | OmfgItsAshark do you mean alternate desktop CD | 00:18 |
| Gendolookin | yeah, i have quick synergy as well | 00:18 |
| Gendolookin | i think thats the problem | 00:18 |
| Gendolookin | so i'm uninstalling both and reinstalling | 00:18 |
| slammed87d21 | does anyone know about virtual box? | 00:18 |
| Gendolookin | see if that will help | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, it may be its looking in 2 or more places for the configs. theres no need to 'uninstall' | 00:18 |
| slammed87d21 | i need some help with it | 00:19 |
| Gendolookin | crap LOL | 00:19 |
| Gendolookin | too late | 00:19 |
| bofh80 | [T]BludShoT, i think he does. . . . it's the only 'non-live' version i think for desktop. | 00:19 |
| Gendolookin | should i install quicksynergy as well? | 00:19 |
| SixStringer | what's your problem slammer? | 00:19 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, never heard of 'quick syngery' I just use normal syngery. | 00:19 |
| slammed87d21 | does anyone know about virtual box? | 00:19 |
| Gendolookin | quicksynergy is just a GUI | 00:19 |
| SixStringer | what about virtualbox? | 00:19 |
| ScheissDroge1 | mar1 : ? | 00:19 |
| rockyrock | hello!!! anybody? | 00:19 |
| Gendolookin | i'm reinstalling just synergy now | 00:19 |
| OmfgItsAshark | no no no | 00:19 |
| Gendolookin | see if i can figure it out | 00:20 |
| linxeh | synergy2 rocks | 00:20 |
| OmfgItsAshark | there is a text non live version of the program | 00:20 |
| rockyrock | I use Netbeans on Ubuntu 8.04.1 but when i run the dialog boxes, they look empty like there is gray on the box. I can see only close-minimize-maximize buttons. When i disable the Normal effects in Ubuntu, the boxes run correctly. Did anybody face like this problem in Ubuntu? | 00:20 |
| Gendolookin | basically what i want is, when i move the mouse to the left of my LCD i want it to go to the windows machine | 00:20 |
| Gendolookin | and the Right of my CRT to go back to the Linux box | 00:20 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, syngery can do that. Ive set it up that way befor. | 00:20 |
| slammed87d21 | anyone? | 00:20 |
| [T]BludShoT | OmfgItsAshark, are you talking about this: Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. | 00:20 |
| Gendolookin | i think quick synergy was screwing things up | 00:20 |
| godmode117 | im having problems with burning cds | 00:21 |
| SixStringer | slammed....what's your problem with virtualbox? | 00:21 |
| godmode117 | blank cds wount mount | 00:21 |
| slammed87d21 | it says im missing a kernal | 00:21 |
| Gendolookin | if thats what i want, how should i set synergy up? | 00:21 |
| acrousey | I'm trying to share a folder, but I get a message that says my permission is denied and to ask the administrator to grant me permission to create a shared folder. I am the only user of this computer. How can I grant myself permission? | 00:21 |
| slammed87d21 | i cant insal osx leopard | 00:21 |
| OmfgItsAshark | when you go to the download page there will be an option that you click that says... i need the non live cd | 00:21 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, i recall needing to read the syngery docs and looking at its example configs.. they are not that complex. I also recall needing to use the ip# of the machines Not their names.. UNLESS you have their names in the hosts file. | 00:21 |
| SixStringer | You should find the virtualbox irc room dude...Wrong OS for this place too... | 00:22 |
| jrib | slammed87d21: you can't install os x in virtual box. For one, it's illegal. For two, it won't work | 00:22 |
| Gendolookin | ok | 00:22 |
| Denise | you trick me | 00:22 |
| Gendolookin | where would the host file be? | 00:22 |
| koshari | godmode117 they have no file system on them so they wont mount | 00:22 |
| Gendolookin | IP's would be better | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, /etc/hosts - its better to use ip. | 00:22 |
| [T]BludShoT | OmfgItsAshark, then that must be what i'm saying | 00:22 |
| Gendolookin | ok | 00:22 |
| [T]BludShoT | "This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." | 00:22 |
| Gendolookin | what is the command to run the file? | 00:22 |
| Gendolookin | synergys | 00:23 |
| godmode117 | koshari: then how do i burn them, when i open k3b it tells me there no device | 00:23 |
| koshari | godmode117 is your optical drive accessable? | 00:23 |
| slammed87d21 | so its illegal to use my own software on my own computer? | 00:23 |
| Gendolookin | i'm reading the how to and it tells me to type synergys -f --config synergy.conf | 00:23 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, one machine has to run the syngery client, other runs the syngery server. both commands have logging/verbose logging features so you can troubleshoot | 00:23 |
| Gendolookin | ok | 00:23 |
| godmode117 | koshari: what do you mean by accessable? | 00:23 |
| Gendolookin | ok so now i need to write a config file | 00:24 |
| jrib | slammed87d21: read the license you agreed to. In any case, we are offtopic here. Feel free to ask #vbox. But afaik, you will not be able to install os x in virtual box | 00:24 |
| koshari | can you access a written dic or is it in the fstab file? | 00:24 |
| Gendolookin | so instead of host name, use ips?? | 00:24 |
| Gendolookin | in the config file? | 00:24 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, the syngery docs /usr/shar/docs/syn* has an example confiog i recall you can edit. | 00:24 |
| godmode117 | koshari: its in fstab | 00:24 |
| koshari | Gendolookin its not your software you just have a licence to use it withing the terms spelled out in the eula | 00:24 |

| godmode117 | Gnea: becuase its a new cd | 00:37 |
| Gnea | godmode117: what kind of cd? | 00:37 |
| qwstar | are there any graphical utilities for LVM management? | 00:37 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: Are you using any features of ext3 beyond journaling? | 00:37 |
| Flannel | qwstar: if you type "lv[tab][tab]" you get... a whole slew of commands. Most of them are self explanatory | 00:37 |
| godmode117 | Gnea: this question arent helping my problem | 00:37 |

| qwstar | Kuwanger: features such as what? | 00:38 |
| Kuwanger | favro: Thanks for testing. | 00:38 |
| Gnea | godmode117: neither is your vagueness. is the cd store-bought? did you burn something to the cd? | 00:38 |

| Gendolookin | thats what i get | 00:39 |
| Gendolookin | do i need to point it to something? | 00:39 |
| qwstar | Flannel: lvresize and lvreduce both say that i have to shrink the filesystem before using these utilities | 00:39 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: My overall question is based on that you need to resize the filesystem first, then you can use lvm tools to shrink the container. | 00:39 |
| Gnea | godmode117: so are you trying to tell me, instead of just telling me, that you bought a brand new spindle of empty CDRs, burnt something to one of them, and now the system won't read what you wrote to it? | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, according to the docs it looks in /etc/synergy.conf Unless you tell it otherwise. I belive | 00:40 |
| Gendolookin | oh ok | 00:40 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: And since you're wanting to resize /, you'll need to use a livecd/recovercd with a resizer. | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | Gendolookin, sounds like you got a typo in the config also. | 00:40 |
| Gendolookin | yeha | 00:40 |
| qwstar | Kuwanger: I tried using GParted from the PartedMagic livecd, but it did not recognize the LVM partition | 00:40 |
| Gendolookin | says missing link | 00:40 |
| Gendolookin | but i'm not sure why | 00:40 |
| godmode117 | Gnea: no, it wont recognize blank cds | 00:40 |

| Gnea | _V_: yes. | 00:41 |
| tcleval | hi | 00:42 |
| Gnea | godmode117: what make/model is the cd drive? | 00:42 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: From a quick glance, it looks like partedmagic might not support lvm. | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | _V_, the actual amount of ram seen/useable - can also vary depending on your exact hardware. when you have exactly 4gb of ram.. some part of it may not be useable. | 00:42 |
| Gnea | godmode117: and did you give the cdburning software enough time to recognize the disc? | 00:42 |
| Flannel | qwstar: yeah, the ext3 partition inside the lv (the lv is a virtual drive) | 00:43 |
| godmode117 | im not sure on the product name, and yes | 00:43 |
| tcleval | i am using tcpdump ---> sudo tcpdump -ln -i eth1 icmp and src 10.1.1.6 , where 10.1.1.6 is my ip inside the network, and i get: | 00:43 |

| tcleval | many times | 00:43 |
| Flannel | qwstar: well, thats a good way to look at it, as far as we're concerned at the moment. | 00:43 |
| qwstar | Kuwanger: what would you recommend? | 00:44 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: Ah..even futher: "GParted does not support logical volume management (LVM) at present, although this feature has been requested[3] by many users and may be implemented in a future release." | 00:44 |
| tcleval | i cant figure it out what process is doing that, sending that icmp packages | 00:44 |
| tcleval | no bittorrent or emule opened | 00:44 |
| Gnea | godmode117: what is the output of this command: ls -l /dev/cdrom | 00:44 |

| qwstar | Kuwanger: would the Kubuntu live CD work? | 00:45 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: I'm not sure. I don't know what files it includes. | 00:46 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: Mount it and check if it has resize2fs. | 00:46 |
| Gnea | godmode117: try this command (but please don't paste the output to the channel!): cat /proc/ide/ide0/hda/identify | 00:46 |
| Gendolookin | ok one more try | 00:46 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: I've used resize2fs in the past and it's worked fine. | 00:46 |
| tcleval | is there a trojan on UBUNTU? or what? | 00:46 |
| godmode117 | gnea: permisson denied, should i sudo it? | 00:47 |
| Gnea | godmode117: yes | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | _V_, thats one of the main points in using 64bit. from what i hear. But i dont use 64bit. | 00:47 |

| Gnea | godmode117: no, please pastebin | 00:47 |
| Kuwanger | qwstar: If you go that approach, you'll want to resize your / down by some amount (say 1.5GB), shrink its container (by say 1GB), then resize again to enlarge to take up all the available space. | 00:47 |

| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: I get that all the time, it doesn't really effect anything. | 00:55 |
| Snicks|Mars | ok | 00:55 |
| Gnea | godmode117: ok, try this then: kill all of your burning programs (check the system monitor to make sure there's no zombied processes running) and start k3b *without* a cd in the drive - while k3b is on the screen, pop a blank cd into the drive and wait... eventually, the drive listed on the top-portion of k3b should show the "Empty CDR medium" | 00:55 |
| Snicks|Mars | but my nautilus still seems broken | 00:55 |
| Gnea | godmode117: of course, if you get an automatic popup asking what you want to do with the blank cd, just click cancel or whatever to back out of it | 00:56 |

| godmode117 | gnea: yes i have | 00:59 |

| godmode117 | gnea: whats a presario? | 01:00 |
| Gnea | godmode117: heh, compaq makes them... | 01:00 |
| godmode117 | i dont think it is | 01:00 |
| Gnea | an evo perhaps? | 01:00 |
| Expl01ted | I had a presario. | 01:00 |
| godmode117 | i dont know | 01:01 |
| Expl01ted | its dead and buryed though. | 01:01 |
| Gnea | i have a stack of compaqs. the only way i could ever get cd burners (and some other hardware) to work on them was with pci=routeirq | 01:01 |
| godmode117 | whats that? | 01:01 |
| Expl01ted | the only compaq I had was that one, Im just happy it didn't burn my house down. | 01:02 |
| alistair | Help: I installed Tastymenu, but it has not altered my menus eg its not functioning anyone suggest why? | 01:03 |
| Gnea | godmode117: it's a method of re-routing the system interrupts if hardware isn't working right - fixes the problem 85% of the time. all you have to do, to test it out, is to reboot, press ESC when it's doing the countdown after POST, then edit the kernel line of the first entry to include: quiet splash pci=routeirq | 01:03 |
| godmode117 | will i have to do that ever time i want to burn a cd? | 01:03 |
| Gnea | godmode117: negative, once the system is booted up like that, it stays that way until you reboot it next - but it can be made to be automatic everytime the system boots, if it works | 01:04 |
| godmode117 | ok, so when i do press esc? | 01:04 |
| Snicks|Mars | my taskbars are still not working, the only thing what works is the system monitor, the time is not going forward, the taskbar down doesn't react on any click and doesn't change | 01:04 |
| Expl01ted | godmode117: you don't want it too do that every time if it doesn't work :D | 01:05 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: easiest way is just to log out and back in | 01:05 |
| Gnea | godmode117: when you turn on your computer and it goes through POST and finishes up, it gives you that little countdown before the UBUNTU logo shows up with the slider thing underneath it | 01:05 |
| godmode117 | actually i think ill just not burn cds | 01:05 |
| Gnea | godmode117: you want to press ESC when the countdown starts | 01:05 |
| godmode117 | thanks for all the help Gnea | 01:05 |
| Gnea | eh?! | 01:06 |
| godmode117 | one day ill fix this | 01:06 |
| Expl01ted | lol | 01:06 |
| l3d | is there a list or something that i could look at to re add the repos to my sources list? | 01:06 |
| Gnea | heh... okay | 01:06 |
| godmode117 | thanks again | 01:06 |
| Snicks|Mars | Expl01ted, i know i can do that, but i have some programs open i don't want to stop | 01:06 |

| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: you logged in as root. | 01:13 |
| Snicks|Mars | but if i can't start any other terminal except from the command-line or so | 01:13 |
| g0tcha | Gnea, is there any other command? | 01:13 |

| PineHead | is what i'm looking at.. | 01:13 |
| bofh80 | basti, right and how do you then set as admin, or normal user, there are scripts setup in the GUI for all the tasks, i don't need to remember 3 different commands and 30 different switches | 01:14 |
| Snicks|Mars | i am logged in as my normal name, but yet my terminal is in root, so everything mus execute in root | 01:14 |
| PineHead | what is #chroot_local_user=YES ? | 01:14 |
| bofh80 | basti, nor do i then have to explain every little function like i'm a demi-god or something | 01:14 |
| jrib | inflex: kernel upgrades might contain security fixes though. Remove linux-image-generic or whatever metapackage you are using if you really want to | 01:14 |
| basti | you jail your user | 01:14 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: close the terminal or open a new tab. | 01:14 |
| basti | PineHead, the user cant leave his homedir | 01:14 |

| basti | Pichu0102, or check your logs | 01:18 |
| bofh80 | PineHead, and do what he says, try restart again | 01:18 |

| bofh80 | PineHead, nothing obviously wrong with the cfg? | 01:18 |
| basti | PineHead, check /var/log/messages | 01:19 |
| basti | tailf it | 01:19 |
| g0tcha | Gnea, no, i didnt .. let me do that now | 01:19 |
| bofh80 | PineHead, it might not be loading because of an error in the config now . . | 01:19 |
| basti | or better: the vsftpd log | 01:19 |
| bofh80 | :) | 01:19 |
| basti | it should show an error if your config is corrupt like bofh80 siad | 01:20 |

| Anza | Gnea, its just thunderbird keeps loading old emails, dunno why, and when I ask here, no one answers, so I assume no one uses it | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | Snicks|Mars, you may wan tto use the 'exit' command to close the terminal.. NOT the 'X' close button | 01:26 |
| jrib | bdrydyk: /etc/gdm/* is a good place to start | 01:26 |
| Mat1 | How do u make grub the main boot loader (i mean when u click the power button on your cpu) | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, the installer normally installs grub. You could run 'sudo update-grub' that should reinstall grub | 01:26 |
| Gnea | Anza: assuming is what gets people into trouble. | 01:26 |
| Flannel | Anza: You'll need to give us a bit more information than that. IMAP? pop? etc. What do you mean by loading? | 01:27 |
| Mat1 | im saing i have vista when i turn on my cpu i see vistas boot loader but i want to see grub | 01:27 |
| Expl01ted | !grub | Mat1 | 01:27 |

| greencookie | how do I install b43-fwcutter? | 01:28 |
| Anza | Flannel, POP I think | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, if you want to use grub.. you must install grub to the master boot record. to be the boot loader. | 01:28 |
| jrib | Mat1: then you need to explain what didn't work exactly | 01:28 |
| Mat1 | i got linuxwith wubi if that helps | 01:28 |
| Snicks|Mars | i tlooks like this is going to work | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, wubi cant use grub.. as far as i know. | 01:28 |
| Flannel | Mat1: wubi only uses the windows bootloader. | 01:28 |
| Mat1 | then how do i use grub | 01:29 |
| bdrydyk | jrib: If you're interested, i ended up killing gdm via ssh and starting gnome-session. Now I can set up autologin graphically. Thanks for the help | 01:29 |
| Gnea | greencookie: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 01:29 |
| Anza | Flannel, I mean, loading old mails as new, like something I received days ago, read days ago and today I get it again as a new mail | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, dont use wubi... if you want to use grub. | 01:29 |
| Flannel | Mat1: you don't with your current set up. You'd have to do a proper dualboot | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | wubi is 'special' :) | 01:29 |

| Expl01ted | my question is what on earth is Mat1's problem with us trying to help him. | 01:31 |
| Mat1 | so how do i install ubuntu without wubi | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | Expl01ted, aparently he wants to use grub with wubu. which cant be done. | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, you boot the cd. and do a 'normal' install' Not the special wubi setup from the cd. | 01:31 |
| Snicks|Mars | if i do a x-server restart, it just fails, because i logged on and thereafter nothing except a simple box with what i can't do anything | 01:31 |
| Mat1 | i dont have the "real" cd just the iso | 01:32 |
| bofh80 | Mat1, if you have the ubuntu CD in your computer, and restart it, leaving it in, you should see a ubuntu boot menu | 01:32 |
| qwstar | i can't figure out if i really have LVM or not! lvscan says 'No volume groups found', while qtparted says I have /dev/sda2 as an 'extended' partition with one child partition, of unknown type | 01:32 |
| jrib | Mat1: burn one | 01:32 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: create a new user using sudo adduser newuser then log in, see if that works. | 01:32 |
| qwstar | df shows that /dev/mapper/carbon-root is my main file system | 01:32 |
| bofh80 | Mat1, burn the ISO to CD ? have you got Nero or EasyCD Creator or something ? | 01:32 |

| Flannel | Mat1: I believe you can, yes. | 01:33 |
| Dr_willis | !wubi | 01:33 |

| Expl01ted | but again NOT with wubi | 01:34 |
| Tapout | thanks | 01:34 |
| Mat1 | flannal then how do i | 01:34 |
| Mat1 | do it | 01:34 |
| Flannel | Mat1: edit your boot.ini, there's a default line. You might ask in ##windows for actual specifics. | 01:34 |
| Mat1 | where is boot.ini | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, windows has a 'search for files' feature. | 01:35 |
| Snicks|Mars | i can't open any new programs yet | 01:35 |
| Expl01ted | boot.ini is by default hidden. | 01:35 |

| Gnea | Anza: is it possible that there are multiple thunderbirds running? | 01:35 |
| darknesis | what's strange is that the install just worked on an identical machine | 01:35 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: create a new user and log into the new user. | 01:35 |

| Dr_willis | Mat1, if you installed ubuntu using the special 'wubi' method. wubi does NOT use grub. it cant. grub CANT boot a wubi install. | 01:43 |
| Ximal | ok.... im in recoverymode though.. | 01:43 |
| Ximal | Gnea I amin recovery mode doing this... that's the right way ? is it not ? | 01:43 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: Edit then mail accounts | 01:43 |
| greencookie | has anyone else had problems with wireless in hardy with a broadcom card? :) | 01:43 |
| drunkmuppe | Dr_willis - Thankyou. I thanked the bot inadvertantly :) | 01:44 |
| wayne_ | i have a hard drive with another linux system on it. how would i mount it to get at some files i need? | 01:44 |
| Mat1 | the bot was programed by ubuntu officials it just says what they say | 01:44 |
| basti | qwstar, mount -l | 01:44 |
| Gnea | Ximal: er, is /dev/sda the hd that you're running from? | 01:44 |
| Snicks|Mars | Expl01ted, what command was it? it didn't work and it only gave some colored squares | 01:44 |
| Jakob_the_liar | what servertype Expl01ted | 01:44 |
| Ximal | yes if is sda and of is sdb | 01:44 |
| Jakob_the_liar | smtp? | 01:44 |
| Ximal | drive a to drive b | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, the bot is spitting out submissions from people in the channel. not just ones from 'officials' | 01:44 |
| Mat1 | flannel | !botsnack | 01:44 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: CTRL ALT F1 | 01:44 |
| Ximal | right ? | 01:44 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: pop | 01:44 |
| Jakob_the_liar | there is no pop | 01:45 |
| Jakob_the_liar | its smtp or sendmail | 01:45 |
| Gnea | Ximal: no, what I'm asking, is /dev/sda the hard drive that you installed ubuntu TO? | 01:45 |
| greencookie | Flannel: I put in the CD how do I install fwcutter from it? | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | The bot is not perfect. and some of the bot factoids can be out of date. | 01:45 |
| Mat1 | true but the "ansers are proggramed into the bot by the "officials" | 01:45 |
| qwstar | basti: it says that /dev/mapper/carbon-root is mapped to / as ext3. But what is /dev/mapper?? | 01:45 |
| Mat1 | true | 01:45 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: for recieving mail? | 01:45 |
| Jakob_the_liar | sending | 01:45 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: yeah smtp. | 01:45 |
| basti | qwstar, its the device | 01:45 |
| Jakob_the_liar | for receiving i put pop? | 01:46 |
| Snicks|Mars | Expl01ted, i did that, but some things always are wrong | 01:46 |
| Ximal | yes .. sda is the drive that ubuntu is on | 01:46 |
| basti | a very strange one | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | Mat1, not always. ive added factoids to the bot. and im not an official. theres a process i had to go throug. submited the factoid. and it got reviewed. | 01:46 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and authentication is password Expl01ted ? | 01:46 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: like what | 01:46 |
| usr13 | How can I get my new install to boot to gui? | 01:46 |
| Mat1 | !botsnack | chocalate | 01:46 |
| ubottu | chocalate: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 01:46 |
| Gnea | Ximal: you should boot from the LiveCD and to it from there. | 01:46 |
| Mat1 | thats what i ment | 01:46 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: let it query the server | 01:46 |
| Ximal | so I should start OVER ? | 01:46 |
| usr13 | where is the inittab file? | 01:46 |
| Gnea | Ximal: yes. | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | usr13, i dident think ubuntu used the inittab. | 01:47 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and for sending sendmail or smtp? | 01:47 |
| Ximal | ok... will my drive still be stable though ? sda ? | 01:47 |
| Jakob_the_liar | Expl01ted, | 01:47 |
| Snicks|Mars | Expl01ted, like x-server restart and your command | 01:47 |
| bubblegumtate | is anyone here using awesome 3 | 01:47 |
| Mat1 | does anybody know who had the "botsnack" idea | 01:47 |
| qwstar | basti: any idea why I would have that? looks like it has to do with 'dmraid'? | 01:47 |
| Gnea | Ximal: yes, it should be fine | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | user01, upstart replaces the inittab from what i am reading http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/since-we-have-no-etcinittab-506281/ | 01:47 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: evolution asks for receiving mail questions before sending. your not asking in that order. what are you using? | 01:47 |
| Ximal | ok... brb | 01:47 |
| usr13 | Dr_willis: What does it use? | 01:47 |
| Jakob_the_liar | evolution | 01:48 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: no | 01:48 |
| Jakob_the_liar | i went back to make sure Expl01ted | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | !upstart | usr13 | 01:48 |
| ubottu | usr13: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 01:48 |

| Snicks|Mars | i suppose my computer isn't good enough | 01:49 |
| Waddo | http://dragcave.net/viewdragon/evnp | 01:49 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: did you add a new user or no? | 01:49 |
| Snicks|Mars | Expl01ted, i didn't yet | 01:50 |
| Snicks|Mars | didn't have any chance | 01:50 |
| basti | qwstar, maybe. i have no raid. so i cant help you. but i guess if you google ist. you will finde something... | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | habernet, i ran that restricted-drivers tool for my hp laptop and it installed/downloaded the right ones. I forget what the icon is called. but its in the menus. | 01:50 |
| Jakob_the_liar | Expl01ted, do you know how to get it working for hushmail? | 01:51 |
| Expl01ted | Snicks|Mars: all of your problems will go away when you add your new user and log into it. | 01:51 |
| greencookie | i just installed b43-fwcutter and used 'b43-fwcutter' -w wl_apsta.o to install my broadcom drivers. Now do I reboot to get those drivers working or do I have to do something else? | 01:51 |

| habernet | dr_willis thanks, ill try to look for the icons in synaptics | 01:52 |
| Jakob_the_liar | would it just be pop.hushmail.com Expl01ted ? | 01:52 |
| Expl01ted | Jakob_the_liar: no idea I would assume so though. | 01:52 |
| Snicks|Mars | Expl01ted, i don't think so, because i think x-server won't be bound to an account or so | 01:52 |
| _Zeus_ | hey i need some help. my internet is messed up. I can visit websites by IP, but not by name. My /etc/resolv.conf file is empty, and resolvconf won't update it | 01:52 |

| pipegeek | just curious | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | habernet, err.. its in the gnome menus somewhere.. | 01:53 |
| _Zeus_ | you can download a .bin from the real website | 01:53 |
| _Zeus_ | it works just fine | 01:53 |
| Omoikane_ | ARGH! I have a Brother MFC 7240 printer and I can't get it to work on my network! | 01:53 |

| cshadowrun | anyone know a nice media player with support for shout/ice streams, and global hotkeys? | 01:54 |
| Expl01ted | why us realplayer, there are plenty of realaudio codec clones without that junk on your system. | 01:54 |
| Sirisian | Is there a program built into ubuntu or one I can apt-get to synchronize my server to my DNS subdomain? | 01:54 |
| Gnea | greencookie: can you connect to any wireless networks from the network button? | 01:55 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: I use MPD and audacious | 01:55 |
| cshadowrun | Expl01ted audacious doesn't work with streams :o | 01:55 |
| Gnea | cshadowrun: yes it does. | 01:55 |
| cshadowrun | Gnea no it doesn't :p | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. I thought it did cshadowrun - i recall i had to save the stream url however.. | 01:55 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, do you connect to the net via a router? | 01:56 |
| Gnea | cshadowrun: i listen to mp3 and ogg streams with audacious everyday. | 01:56 |
| cshadowrun | i've tried a bunch in it, it just doesn't do anything if i try to play stuff in it | 01:56 |
| cshadowrun | i get errors in console about neon.c :/ | 01:56 |
| _Zeus_ | bofh80: I'm behind a server and I have a static IP | 01:56 |
| _Zeus_ | it was working fine earlier, but all of the sudden ubuntu can't resolve names anymore | 01:56 |
| cshadowrun | so it got my broken award, i would like audacious to work though | 01:56 |
| cshadowrun | anyone wanna help me try to fix it? | 01:56 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, assumin you know that much, do you know what the DNS server is supposed to be? the IP? | 01:56 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: pastebin the error. | 01:57 |
| _Zeus_ | bofh80: yes, and i have it set. I can visit sites by IP :-P | 01:57 |
| cshadowrun | Expl01ted kk, i'll get the lastest version from their site too | 01:57 |
| greencookie | Gnea: Nvm. it turns out I had to install fwcutter and download the firmware, in my case broadcom drivers, and install it using fwcutter | 01:57 |
| greencookie | now its WORKING :D hehe | 01:57 |
| _Zeus_ | but not by name (eg i can go to 72.14.207.99 but not google.com) | 01:57 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, you have set it, and it blanks itself out? | 01:57 |
| _Zeus_ | bofh80: no, i have internet | 01:57 |
| Gnea | greencookie: awesome :) | 01:57 |
| habernet | i have a laptop with an 80 gb hdd..about 9 mb's of the hdd is left as free space because it is broken and sucks....ubuntu's live cd installer wont let me have the option of resizing the windows partition, how do i do this manually? | 01:57 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: btw audacious is meant to work identically like winamp... that means playing streams and such. | 01:57 |
| greencookie | uhhuh | 01:58 |
| geek_ | habernet: you can probably get a partedmagic livecd i suppose. I suggest a defrag of windows first though | 01:58 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: it even is able to use winamp skins :P | 01:58 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, you run something like sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and put nameserver 12.45.45.34 (the IP of DNS server) ? | 01:59 |
| habernet | geek_hokay ty i figured it out | 01:59 |
| Jatz | hey, I have a wget question. how do I exclude all files containing or beginning with certain characters from a wget --mirror ? | 01:59 |
| greencookie | can someone recommend a good bittorrent client please? | 01:59 |
| _Zeus_ | bofh80: I haven't done that; /etc/resolv.conf says it shouldn't be edited by hand | 01:59 |
| Expl01ted | greencookie: transmission | 01:59 |
| cshadowrun | Expl01ted http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=19515 | 01:59 |

| greencookie | and a good bittorrent site :D hehe | 01:59 |
| greencookie | thnx Expl01ted | 01:59 |
| greencookie | sudo apt-get transmission? | 01:59 |
| malocite | my system seems to hang for about 2 minutes on Preparing Restricted Drivers, any idea why? I don't believe I am using any restricted drivers presently, just the open source ones in ubuntu.... unless ndiswrapper is considered restricted | 01:59 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, i know, normally dhclient3 fills it. however you can use the GUI instead | 02:00 |
| _Zeus_ | bofh80: what gui? | 02:00 |
| Expl01ted | greencookie: sudo apt-get install transmission | 02:00 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, in the top right hand cornor you have the network screen icon yes? | 02:00 |

| _Zeus_ | !dhclient | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dhclient | 02:05 |
| bofh80 | _Zeus_, this is to do with the static ip . dhcp uses dhclient3 to get ipaddress information from the network instead of applying it manually | 02:05 |

| cshadowrun | Expl01ted theres already a bug report open on there forum for my bug, i don't think they are going to bother to fix it | 02:13 |
| Mat1 | yeah yours but only once with the gears screensaver | 02:13 |
| cshadowrun | Expl01ted also baring in mind i had a developer tell me that "I don't care" and "Go and use something else then" | 02:13 |
| skd5aner | bofh80: I believe so, not an expert at it, but got a terminal session up and running | 02:13 |
| cshadowrun | pretty useless imo :( | 02:13 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: its the best you can do then unfortunately. | 02:13 |
| bdunlap | hmm let me see what the screen saver is set to. i thought it was the 3d text thingy | 02:13 |

| Dr_willis | Booh-, never seen such a thing. you could try mplayer, or vlc i guess or xine | 02:13 |
| Booh- | Dr_willis, I tried mplayer | 02:13 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: have you tried VLC? | 02:14 |
| cshadowrun | Expl01ted yea, i applied a theme and it broke, :( | 02:14 |
| Mat1 | i think its a driver issue im not sure | 02:14 |
| Booh- | Dr_willis, in fact, this is a 23 episode of a tv show, I can see only the first one. | 02:14 |
| bofh80 | skd5aner, i, er, lets get a situation report, you at the server now? how are you connected to IRC? | 02:14 |
| Foxtrotter | i have a question.. | 02:14 |
| bdunlap | oh in power management - "put display to sleep for 40 mins" is set. i'll do never and see if that fixes it. | 02:14 |
| Expl01ted | cshadowrun: dude your luck is crap. | 02:14 |
| seb90210 | me too fox | 02:14 |
| cshadowrun | yup :( | 02:14 |
| Dr_willis | Booh-, never seen that done. Must be some rarely used feature of divx. posibally theres some command line options to force mplayer to start at a specific chapter I guess... | 02:14 |

| scabootssca | I have a seemingly common problem but I havn't found any solution on google or forums that has fixed it yet. My usb ports randomly(seemingly) stop working usually that means the mouse does not work but sometimes it's the keyboard, the usb ports will not accept any new connections so I can't unplug and replug and If i try to plugin another mouse or a mp3 player or anything it won't connect. And whenever this happens the computer sorta stutters like the mus | 02:15 |
| scabootssca | ic does and anything open stutters. Does anyone have anymore information or a link? Because sofar I havn't found any in weeks of searching. | 02:15 |
| scabootssca | woah sorrt it was so long | 02:15 |
| scabootssca | This problem was also in gusty | 02:15 |
| ross | can anyone please help - i am having some problems streaming media on cnn.com | 02:15 |
| Booh- | ok thanks Dr_willis | 02:15 |
| bofh80 | skd5aner, sure, but is the server at your physical location, like you next to it or what? | 02:15 |
| skd5aner | yes, I can physically access it if needed bofh80 | 02:15 |
| Mat1 | does anybody know how to get the griffin powermate to work;-) just tell me if u know | 02:16 |
| bdunlap | ross: streaming is down for me, too | 02:16 |
| seb90210 | i have a persistent folder in the trash directory which cannot be deleted | 02:16 |
| bofh80 | skd5aner, if needed, cool. so what? you have terminal, ie SSH? what puTTY or something running ? | 02:16 |
| ross | bdunlap: i think it's the OS, how can I get this working? | 02:16 |
| bdunlap | ross: it says streaming cannot be reached. | 02:16 |
| bdunlap | ross: not sure, ive never encountered this problem, unless it was a codec problem but this doesn't seem to be a codec problem. | 02:17 |
| ross | bdunlap: yes - why is that? i had no problems with cnn pipeline but now i can't stream | 02:17 |
| skd5aner | SSH | 02:17 |
| skd5aner | Putty | 02:17 |
| ross | can anyone else help pleae? | 02:17 |
| Mat1 | im mabe you should ask someone else im not a pro | 02:17 |
| seb90210 | what other way is there to navigate to the trash dir and sudo delete its contents | 02:17 |
| bdunlap | ross: i think it's actually cnn's server... sounds like it really isn't able to stream. | 02:17 |
| Foxtrotter | i had xp on my "server" and it ran fine, but i just put ubuntu on it, and now ubuntu random freezes on me, sometimes right after i log in. any ideas would be great, thanks | 02:17 |
| bofh80 | skd5aner, right, so an apt-get command is gonna be more useful | 02:17 |

| bofh80 | usr13, if it says your using a xen kernel, and it happens to be a server install, you might have some xen installed? | 02:18 |
| seb90210 | mister you have to mount it | 02:18 |
| bdunlap | ross: the DNC isn't on yet so maybe they haven't started the stream yet? | 02:18 |
| geek_ | misteralexander: on windows? | 02:18 |
| bofh80 | hey room, who can shoot out and apt-get apt-cahce command or whatever to check what 'xen' stuff is installed :) | 02:18 |

| geek_ | misteralexander: you'll need a ext3 driver | 02:18 |
| ross | bdunlap: it says live | 02:19 |
| bdunlap | ross: i know it says live but i think they just havent turned on the stream yet. | 02:19 |

| Dr_willis | wh00mp, you may want to clarify the question with out all the comments... root user direct access is disabled as a security feature of ubuntu. You can always change things .. dont expect us to be much help if you do however. | 02:20 |
| jrib | ross: yeah, windows | 02:20 |

| Kernel | no bitchx? | 02:35 |
| jrib | Kernel: no longer in debian/ubuntu (see debian bug tracker). Try irssi or weechat instead | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | Kernel, seems that way | 02:35 |

| skd5aner | alright, I'm leaving... Thank you bofh80 for helping out | 02:36 |
| bofh80 | skd5aner, if the generic keneric isn't installed, it's only a simple package . . . . | 02:36 |
| scabootssca | rafaelscj ? Just save it somewhere where it wont get deleted and after you install sp3 if the mbr is gone then restore it | 02:36 |
| Kernel | hmm ok. i thought bitchx was a main project....had no idea it was not being maintained | 02:36 |
| scabootssca | or thats how it should work O-o i dunno you should probably take advice from someone with more experience | 02:37 |

| skd5aner | what's the difference between generic and i386? | 02:38 |
| Kernel | yea. i know of irssi...and i like it..just curious as to way they got rid of BX | 02:38 |
| seb90210 | hotmonkey you have to get the "legacy" drivers i believe last at version 96 something | 02:38 |
| Kernel | ah ok cool thanks jrib ill go look it over | 02:38 |
| bofh80 | skd5aner, apparently people want the i386 specifically for >4gig memory. although i'm sure there'll be more to it than just that | 02:38 |

When I try to use the Guided install (i want to dual boot with XP SP2) i get a "too small size" error. I definitely have enough free space on my drive. If I don't get that error, the partitioner will stall at 0% and after a few minutes throw an error with the message "??? ??? ???" | 02:45 |

| gonzaloaf_laptop | hi,is there a way to make ubuntu recognize my 4G of RAM? | 03:11 |

| cmdbbq | not sure how to put this, but is the preferences menu in the default hardy install of transmission neutered? | 03:12 |

| cmdbbq | it just seems... underwhelming | 03:12 |
| slacker_ | seb90210 I will check 32bit access, and what is piomode?, the jumpers are in correctly as I just took the drives out to look and I just reset the ide, how do I turn on dma? | 03:13 |
| R_YoYo_R | cmdbbq, it is just a newer version i *think* | 03:13 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: where is the error? | 03:13 |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | seb90210, debian has a 'bigmem' kernel, ubuntu doesnt has it? | 03:13 |
| seb90210 | enable dma in the bios if such a setting is available there, the pio modes are the speeds 4 being the fastest | 03:14 |

| _Zeus_ | slacker: try this: sudo mount -t udf,iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 | 03:28 |
| seb90210 | slacker hmm thats odd too since the fs type is udf, iso9660 in the fstab | 03:28 |
| Gnea | misteralexander: hello? this is #ubuntu, not the miriad of idiots that you're used to dealing with. everyone here uses Ubuntu Linux. | 03:28 |
| usser | Dabbu, you have to boot into livecd, connect your harddrive, run dmesgdmesg | 03:29 |
| misteralexander | [Pici] ==> an internal 70GB SATA HD, formatted with ext3. | 03:29 |
| slacker | _Zeus: I get the same error message, however now it hangs for nearly a minute or two. | 03:29 |
| misteralexander | I had to "unmount" it to format, but now the damn thing won't "re-mount" | 03:29 |
| Dabbu | usser: then what will happen | 03:29 |
| Gnea | misteralexander: do you see a 70GB drive if you click on Places? | 03:29 |
| Pici | misteralexander: okay, And where are you trying to mount it to? | 03:29 |
| usser | Dabbu, to note its /dev/sd* name also u have to know /dev/sd* name of your internal hdd once u have that | 03:30 |
| seb90210 | mount dev/scd0 -t iso9660 /home/dir (mk that dir 1st of course) slacker | 03:30 |
| Dabbu | usser: yes ..i can do that...then | 03:30 |
| slacker | seb90210: Do you think it would be safe to assume that maybe my IDE Controller has fried out? | 03:30 |
| usser | Dabbu, sudo dd if=/dev/sd* of=/dev/sd* where first sd* is your internal and second is external | 03:30 |
| Bossmanbeta | Nautilus used to auto-refresh filesizes (as when files are downloaded, or mencoded), but it no longer auto-refreshes, would anyone know why? | 03:30 |
| Bossmanbeta | ...it also doesn't auto-refresh when new files appear... | 03:30 |
| seb90210 | not if it works during the installs, etc.. | 03:30 |
| usser | Dabbu, this command will make an exact copy of your internal hdd on the external one | 03:31 |
| misteralexander | [Pici] ==> I do NOT see it when I click on "Places". I'm trying to mount it in the "normal" spot where stuff should be mounted. Perhaps I'm confused by the question "Where" do I want it mounted. I want it to show up next to "File System", if that makes any sense. | 03:31 |
| _Zeus_ | Dabbu: be very careful with dd | 03:31 |
| _Zeus_ | you can very easily corrupt your filesystem | 03:31 |
| Dabbu | usser: can i use a DVD instead of hard disk | 03:31 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: auto-refresh is working fine here... did you change anything? | 03:31 |
| _Zeus_ | misteralexander: please don't put [] around the username; it's much better to just put the username and a : like everyone else | 03:31 |
| matthew_ | you can only break things with dd if you use it very very wrong | 03:32 |
| _Zeus_ | matthew_: ? | 03:32 |
| matthew_ | like dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=... | 03:32 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea no... it *used* to work, but in the last few weeks, it hasn't auto-refreshed | 03:32 |
| chaosrl | hey, i have a question about microphones in hardy. i know my mic works, as i can hear feedback on it through my headphones, but no applications will acknowledge it. does anyone know how to fix this? | 03:32 |
| misteralexander | [Pici] ==> Gparted sees it, that's what I used to turn it FROM an ntfs TO ext3. | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | _Zeus_: he has his tab complete set that way | 03:32 |
| rahil | ugh....ubuntu is acting weird....it was working fine a few days ago....now any application I run hangs but I can use alt-f4 to exist....the only working app is terminal....this is really weird...any help? | 03:32 |
| usser | Dabbu, i dont think dvd would be large enough | 03:32 |
| _Zeus_ | matthew_: if you accidentally switch the a and the b, you hose your fs | 03:32 |
| misteralexander | Zeus: Okay. | 03:32 |
| usser | Dabbu, how big is your harddrive? | 03:32 |
| _Zeus_ | i would consider that easy to mess up | 03:32 |
| Bossmanbeta | Would anyone know of a way to check to make sure Nautilus is auto refreshing file sizes & new-file presence? I have to hit REFRESH manually... | 03:33 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: do you recall if you made any major system updates or changes? | 03:33 |
| Dabbu | usser: i have 10 GB for root and 24 gb for home | 03:33 |
| ThersiT | can anyone help me get stunnel running? | 03:33 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: i'm looking into it | 03:33 |
| Expl01ted | seems Ill never get galaxium compiled. | 03:33 |
| matthew_ | well, the kernel wont let you screw the current filesystem | 03:33 |
| wanusa_w_ | _zeus_ any ideia about my problem? | 03:33 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea, no I haven't. And even if I had for the sake of discussion, there should be a setting to reaffirm.... | 03:33 |
| _Zeus_ | wanusa_w_: your problem is? | 03:33 |
| Kira | !SMBus | 03:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about smbus | 03:33 |
| wanusa_w_ | to shutdown | 03:33 |
| Pici | misteralexander: Are you on a LiveCD right now or are you on your normal install? I'm just trying to get an idea of where you want to mount this. If you're running your normal install, you've already got something mounted to / , so you'd need to mount it somewhere else. | 03:33 |
| Bossmanbeta | well I can google it, I thought I'd ask here real quick | 03:33 |
| slacker | seb90210: Here is another unique behavior, both /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0 both say 18.8 gb with no files present, and after mounting the iso to /home/dir that dir now says 18.8 gb as well.... | 03:33 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea well I can google it, I thought I'd ask here real quick | 03:33 |
| slacker | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, | 03:34 |
| slacker | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 03:34 |
| slacker | (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use | 03:34 |
| slacker | ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) | 03:34 |
| slacker | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 03:34 |
| usser | Dabbu, i dont think theres a way to copy it straight to a dvd, u still have to store the image somewhere temporarily | 03:34 |
| rahil | anyone have an idea what's going on with my comp? | 03:34 |
| slacker | dmesg | tail or so | 03:34 |
| misteralexander | Pici: Normal Install. Just wherever it "needs" to go, to be a permanent hard drive. Eventually, I'm going to try and move the '/home' & '/usr/bin' directories there . . . if that helps any. | 03:34 |
| seb90210 | f*, that was a correct mount command but it looks like your hdd's are mixed up in there | 03:34 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: well, it's an important issue. a lot of changes have been made in hardy and it's not something that i've seen before, but if there is an easy fix, we should at least make it easier for others to get the fix as well, don't you think? | 03:35 |
| Dabbu | usser: ok..the image will be in which type.. | 03:35 |
| slacker | I lied it says 18.8 gb of free space ;) | 03:35 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea I'm running Feisty | 03:35 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea woops gutsy gibbon, sorry | 03:35 |
| Pici | misteralexander: Well, you can create a directory in /media/ name it anything you want and mount the partition there. | 03:35 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: hrmmmmm..... | 03:35 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea well all #ubuntu chats are logged, so if someone knew the answer offhand, I thought I'd ask ehre | 03:36 |
| Bossmanbeta | if I find the fix, I can mention it here... | 03:36 |
| seb90210 | and everything , the ide, sata go thru a scsi layer anyways or rather emulated so wouldnt worry about any scsi options or messups | 03:36 |

| usser | Dabbu, it doesnt have any type its an exacty byte by byte image of your hdd u can name it whatever u want. u can do dd if=/dev/sd* of=/media/image.img where image.img is just a file, the only limitation though image.img cant be on the same partition that u are trying to save | 03:37 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: does the problem only occur with your regular user account, or if you make a new user, does it happen with that account too? | 03:37 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea all accounts | 03:37 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea I was wondering if there was a setting it gconf-editor | 03:38 |
| usser | Dabbu, u have to mount an external hdd somewhere and save it there, or dont store image in the file and just copy raw byte by byte data from one hdd to another like i suggested first | 03:38 |
| slacker | seb90210: did you get it or did it get dropped for spam? | 03:38 |

| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: good idea.. | 03:38 |
| Bossmanbeta | gnea yea, I didn't find it though | 03:38 |
| Pici | misteralexander: You can move /home there, but not /usr/bin/ as well. | 03:38 |
| misteralexander | Pici: let me guess, that's got to be on another partition, if I want to move it, right? | 03:39 |
| seb90210 | i got it, is there more than one optical drive..i see only one in fstab...what happens when umount /dev/scd0\ | 03:39 |

| voodz | hi i just bought a sony vaio VGN-FW140E ... during install attempts using live cd i get screwed up graphics glitches all over the screen and the install goes into a blank screen. this is using boot off cd to try it out. does anyone have any idea why this is happening? | 03:43 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: i can't remember if nautilus relies on fam in gutsy or not... | 03:43 |
| voodz | i have even tried safe video mode install, i get into the os but there are 1 million mouse cursurs on the screen. and its glitched beyond recognition | 03:43 |

| Bossmanbeta | gnea, you mean famd? I dont think so. | 03:43 |
| Gnea | Bossmanbeta: right | 03:44 |
| slacker | voodz: did you try installing any video drivers? | 03:44 |
| voodz | this is me booting off the cd... also, the graphics when i used safe mode are unusable | 03:44 |
| === uculd_a7x is now known as pangeran_bokep | ||
| voodz | impossible to navigate, it produces 1200 mouse cursors, icons when i move them etc, its really strange | 03:45 |
| slacker | voodz: I have never done this, before but I have heard/believe that you can install the drivers for the device prior to the install or include it in the install. | 03:45 |
| seb90210 | slacker ....umount /media/cdrom0 OR mount " (with a disk) it worked for me...not by device name (weird) but where it is mounted | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | voodz: What GFX card? | 03:46 |

| [T]BludShoT | i tried installing off the live cd earlier (like 20 times) but it kept freezing up and the installation would fail, finally saying that the cd or hd was possibly bad (which is hard to beleive because i had ubuntu 6 on there before no problem). So somebody on this channel suggested I used the non-live cd, which i did, but it keeps failing with various errors | 03:50 |

| joustin | i got my reggie email, it tells me to login when i enter the verification | 03:51 |

| Jordan_U | stevin1988: Which online repository? | 03:52 |
| itai-michaelson | hi - i have a serious problem on a new hardy install- it takes 6 minutes for gnome to settle in and the harddisc is spinning all the time, the system is super slow (but xp on dualboot is fine) | 03:52 |
| [T]BludShoT | the first error was: [!!] Install the base system - Debootstrap warning - Warning: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. | 03:52 |
| [T]BludShoT | the 2nd error was: [!!] Configuring linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic - Unable to install the selected kernel - An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system. - Kernel package: 'linux-generic'. | 03:53 |
| Flannel | [T]BludShoT: mm, that really sounds like a bad burn. You're sure you verified the alternate CD? Could be bad HDD too, I guess, or a bad CDrom drive. | 03:53 |
| stevin1988 | :Jordan_U:i try to enable the repository using the software source.. but it couldnt download the thing.... | 03:53 |
| [T]BludShoT | im 100% positive i verified the alt cd | 03:54 |
| Jordan_U | stevin1988: Which repository? | 03:54 |
| [T]BludShoT | but both the alt cd and the live cd had similar problems | 03:54 |
| slacker | seb90210: nether one worked =/. Also I noticed that in my root | 03:54 |
| Expl0ited | omg I feel dumb now, there is a ubuntu build of galaxium. | 03:54 |
| Flannel | [T]BludShoT: sounds like hardware issues then. Do you happen to have another computer to try with? | 03:54 |
| [T]BludShoT | i also tried on both harddrives | 03:54 |
| slacker | seb90210: nether one worked =/. Also I noticed that in my root I have a 'cdrom' that contains nothing as well | 03:54 |

| [T]BludShoT | no, not handy | 03:55 |
| stevin1988 | :Jordan_U:The error is"Could not download all repository indexes" when I click on reload button, thanks... | 03:55 |
| Flannel | [T]BludShoT: how about another CDrom drive? | 03:55 |

| [T]BludShoT | in order to boot from the other cd rom drive that is | 03:56 |
| tsuna27 | wher is ~/.themes located | 03:56 |
| Flannel | [T]BludShoT: You should be able to boot from whichever drive, even secondary slave, assuming your BIOS supports it | 03:56 |
| Flannel | tsuna27: ~/.themes is a location. ~ is your homedir | 03:56 |
| [T]BludShoT | i'll try but its unlikely | 03:56 |
| tsuna27 | flannel: okay how do i find that | 03:56 |

| seb90210 | the cdroms | 03:57 |
| slacker | seb90210 correct | 03:57 |
| Flannel | alistair: yes | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | stevin1988: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update" ? | 03:57 |

| Kira | oh crap | 03:57 |
| alistair | Flannel, yes - a series of updates? | 03:57 |
| Flannel | alistair: update manager deals with the new releases. It doesnt come as "regular" updates though. | 03:57 |
| alistair | OK tks guys | 03:57 |
| Kira | How do I get Hardy to probe for a changed network interface card? | 03:58 |

| Jordan_U | itai-michaelson: That may be the wrong bug, same issue but I remember one with much more info, this one may be a duplicate | 04:06 |
| mneptok | z1ggy: that's hardly an appropriate question for a support channel. | 04:06 |

| [T]BludShoT | Jordan_U, also, you asked what happened with the live cd. Well what happened is, I tried to install with the live cd, and it kept freezing at 15% of installing (on step 7) for hours, then I would reboot and try again. Then it started to ignore me when I hit Install, and instead booted up ubuntu off the live CD. So then I would try to install using the icon on the desktop. That kept failing similarly, and the last time it failed it said CD/ | 04:07 |

| LoCaLMaChInE | anyone here know glits | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | elbermungster: No, I don't understand, is this your home setup? | 04:28 |
| seb90210 | lisa: system, administration, users & groups, unlock, delete.. | 04:28 |
| bdunlap | jack, thanks I'll give that a try. | 04:28 |
| elbermungster | yes | 04:28 |
| _Zeus_ | lisa_: once upi delete, the home folder will still be there | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | elbermungster: Ahh, so you need to configure your modem. Do you have a DSL ? | 04:28 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | elber u know glits | 04:29 |
| _Zeus_ | you will need to umount the volume /home/<user>/.gvfs then do sudo rm -rf /home/<user> | 04:29 |
| lisa_ | _Zeus_, how do i remove thier whole account, including their home? | 04:29 |
| elbermungster | Yes, my ISP gave me a modem and wireless router in one. | 04:29 |
| ladyfantasy | lisa_: sudo userdel -r username | 04:29 |
| elbermungster | think of it as an ADSL modem without the wires. | 04:29 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | who knows glits anyone | 04:29 |
| lisa_ | ladyfantasy, will that command delete everything? | 04:29 |
| pjshooter | elbermungster: Don't your instructions tell you to first configure this with a system that's wired into your gateway? | 04:29 |
| ladyfantasy | lisa_: yes | 04:30 |
| elbermungster | it's exactly the same | 04:30 |
| lisa_ | ladyfantasy, :) | 04:30 |
| Geoffrey2 | dang, then I'm glad I never went with DSL | 04:30 |

| pjshooter | lisa_ it will delete the user, not all the data. | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | elbermungster: Ok, try entering "192.168.1.1" as the URL in firefox | 04:30 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | I wish I can get 8.04 xubuntu | 04:30 |
| splashtk_ | Can anyone help me with my sound? :) | 04:30 |
| _Zeus_ | jack-_-: if you don't have hardy-proposed and hardy-backports enabled, then yes | 04:30 |
| lisa_ | pjshooter, HOW do i remove 100% then? | 04:30 |
| splashtk_ | I have searched google high and low. :( | 04:31 |
| ladyfantasy | pjshooter: it will remove the home directory | 04:31 |
| _Zeus_ | lisa_: look up, i told you | 04:31 |
| jack-_- | Thank you. | 04:31 |
| ladyfantasy | what other data do you want to delete? | 04:31 |
| seb90210 | jack thats the latest kernel | 04:31 |
| lisa_ | _Zeus_, user deluser??? | 04:31 |
| _Zeus_ | you get .21 if you have backports/proposed | 04:31 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | how do you search for a screen name | 04:31 |
| _Zeus_ | you will need to umount the volume /home/<user>/.gvfs then do sudo rm -rf /home/<user> | 04:31 |

| bdunlap | jack, oh that seems like too much work, i cant figure out how to install bluez. | 04:32 |
| NylaX | when setting up ubuntu is it wise to put everything on one partion or should i have spearte partition for boot and /home ? | 04:32 |

| seb90210 | it doesnt matter, 1st delete the user account the proper way then you can sudo rmdir -r whatever | 04:33 |

| CorbinFox | odd-rationale: but is that really solving the problem? i mean, i know i can do that, but i'd kind of what them gone for real instead of just hidden | 04:53 |

| bullgard4 | What does Henrique de Moraes Holschu mean by 'EC' in http://www.nabble.com/-ltp-Question-about-battery-td17492372.html? | 04:53 |

| Gnea | bdunlap: should be okay to try to browse now | 04:54 |
| Odd-rationale | CorbinFox: well, i think it creates some .desktop files in ~/.local or some place... (dont quite remeber the location). you can try deleteing those. | 04:54 |
| bdunlap | gnea, nope no message. so i hit it again and received another apic error | 04:54 |
| mikeb55 | Tommo-dmc: well its in a script, so php | 04:54 |
| mikeb55 | or regex | 04:54 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: o.O | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | [T]BludShoT: No, it won't, but if you run the command I gave you the floppy will be mounted @ /mnt, so the command to copy /var/log/syslog to the floppy would be "cp /var/log/syslog /mnt" | 04:54 |
| tsuna27 | jrib: so what do i do | 04:54 |
| murlidhar | i am using openbox session and how to add an ncurses application in menu using obmenu .? for eg. i want a menu for my weechat-curses client | 04:54 |

| westnorth | you can mount | 05:12 |
| gaintsura | you know what I just realized... imagine if ALL 1261 users were actually active and speaking all at once... | 05:13 |
| murlidhar | b r b | 05:13 |
| seb90210 | noob you must install a package called ntfs-3g | 05:13 |
| gaintsura | seb90210: that comes preinstalled | 05:13 |
| gaintsura | ntfstools does not | 05:13 |
| wise | jrib, no effect. | 05:13 |

| arajabat | I moved to /usr/local/bin | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | arajabat: Where did you move /bin to? | 05:16 |
| arajabat | /usr/local/bin | 05:16 |
| noob_oops | seb90210: Thanks! I'll give it a try. | 05:16 |
| seb90210 | yes its very easy to mount windows partitions provided they're not automounted or you dont know where they are | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | arajabat: sudo is in /usr/bin | 05:17 |

| [T]BludShoT | when i try to copy the syslog to /mnt it says cp: Unable to open '/mnt/syslog': Read-only file system | 05:17 |

| Gnea | bdunlap: hrmmmm | 05:27 |

| [T]BludShoT | i tried the live CD and it kept failing so someone told me to try the non-live one | 05:28 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: okay | 05:28 |
| tsuna27 | gnea: would you know how to remove HDDRECOVERY from my desktop | 05:28 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: what system do you have? | 05:28 |
| bdunlap | gnea, alright ill be back in a jiffy | 05:28 |
| [T]BludShoT | what do you mean? are you asking what my computer specs are? | 05:28 |
| splashtk_ | seb90210, checked everything, I can't think of what it is, how do i "reinstall" sound from scratch lol | 05:28 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: Have you installed the restricted drivers? Otherwise, you could install the proprietary ones from ATI........ | 05:28 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: yeah - is it a pre-built or did you build it yourself? | 05:29 |
| Terralthra | hrmmmm | 05:29 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: yes I've installed those | 05:29 |
| [T]BludShoT | i built it myself from 3 other computers lol | 05:29 |
| Terralthra | I passed it that UUID | 05:29 |
| Terralthra | and it gave the same error | 05:29 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: which ones? | 05:29 |
| [T]BludShoT | its an old crappy computer, tbh | 05:29 |
| Archiver | I'm new and about to put Ubuntu on my computer.. after I burn my many episodes of stuff and other things I want backed up. I would like to know whats the best Graphic illustrator. much like photoshop or Illustrator. Now you might want to know what I do. I'm yong so sofar not much but My plan is using it for Scanning Manga *manga I draw I scan it and the add my colors* as well as us it for... | 05:29 |
| Archiver | ...creating or edeting texture for blender. and I would like some help to point me in the right direction. | 05:29 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: ATI catalyst keeps telling me that the driver is not configured | 05:29 |
| [T]BludShoT | and i installed edgy eft on it fine, and ran edgy eft on it | 05:29 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: not sure really, it was a couple of months ago | 05:29 |
| tsuna27 | terralthra: do u noe how to remove hddrecovery from my desktop | 05:29 |
| [T]BludShoT | but then when i tried to install apache, apache the software package installer thing wasnt updating properly | 05:30 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: Oh, you've tried to run ATI's installer, right? | 05:30 |
| [T]BludShoT | so i figured i should upgrade to hardy heron | 05:30 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: okay, so go all out - what's the cpu, ram, hd, cd, etc? :) | 05:30 |
| gaintsura | yes | 05:30 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: its installed and I configured xorg.conf for compiz | 05:30 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: there is always an alternate install cd . u can use that . even i use the alternate install cd . it is pretty easy too. | 05:30 |
| [T]BludShoT | AMD 400mhz, something like 200 megs of ram, two 13 gig hd's, the primary master is a western digital, it has an ATI 8000(ish) all in wonder, a cd drive and a cd burner | 05:31 |
| noob_oops | how can i get to my window's files from ubuntu? ntfs-3g package is installed, but where do i go from there? | 05:31 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: Does glxinfo or fglrxinfo tell you direct rendering is enabled? (in the terminal) | 05:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | if I have a number of jpeg pictures I want to shrink the file size of, is there an application that can do that automatically, or do I need to load each individually and resave? | 05:31 |
| discombobulated | i downloaded firefox from the site, i click on it and it won't run. anyone know why? | 05:31 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: u can see the ntfs partitions on your file manager | 05:32 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: no it is not enabled =( | 05:32 |
| [T]BludShoT | and i dont really remember what the motherboard is | 05:32 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: hrm. yeah. you're a bit short of memory. i had some systems that are similar to that that i tried to install ubuntu on, and anything less than 256 megs of ram would simply not work right. | 05:32 |
| tsuna27 | hello how do i remove HDDRECOVERY from my desktop | 05:32 |
| Bossmanbeta | Would anyone know of a way to check to make sure Nautilus is auto refreshing file sizes & new-file presence? I have to hit REFRESH manually... | 05:33 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: if i were you, i'd try to increase the memory, or try a distro that's less resource intensive | 05:33 |
| pabix | Hello, do you know of a command-line calculator that does not truncate division results? bc does this and I need double precision values. | 05:33 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: try alternate cd . i am sure you won't be disappointed | 05:33 |
| [T]BludShoT | murlidhar I have tried the alternate cd like 8 times | 05:33 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: Well, given that you've already installed and configured the drivers, I don't know if this will work well for you, but the REAL way to install the ATI drivers is in the wiki. | 05:33 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: i have heard good things about mint linux lately | 05:33 |
| [T]BludShoT | im gonna try Edgy Eft again | 05:34 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: did u do a base installation . or a distro that is uses less resources. | 05:34 |
| Gnea | tsuna27: i have no idea... does it show up in Places? | 05:34 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: care to point me to the wiki wiki? | 05:34 |
| CO_VIRUS | d | 05:34 |
| [T]BludShoT | if it wont install, then at least i can say, ok something went wrong with the hardware since the last time i installed edgy eft | 05:34 |
| tsuna27 | gnea: how do i check | 05:34 |
| Gnea | tsuna27: click on Places :) | 05:34 |
| [T]BludShoT | well before i do that, | 05:34 |
| [T]BludShoT | straight up, | 05:34 |
| [T]BludShoT | this is all i want this computer for, | 05:34 |
| discombobulated | does the firefox you download from the site act like a portable version? | 05:34 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: wb | 05:34 |
| tsuna27 | gnea: yes its there | 05:34 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: use WattOS distro . | 05:34 |
| bdunlap | gnea, thank you | 05:34 |
| [T]BludShoT | apache, php5, mysql, etc... for a local dev web server | 05:35 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: it runs very good on old hardwares | 05:35 |
| bullgard4 | Is 'dock' short for 'docking station' in http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~walter/geek/linux-t40.html? | 05:35 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: okay - if it's going to be a server, why install an OS with a GUI? | 05:35 |
| tsuna27 | gnea: so what do i do now | 05:35 |
| [T]BludShoT | beause im a linux noob and i assumed that would be easier | 05:35 |
| [T]BludShoT | and because the pc has had ubuntu on it for like a year or something | 05:36 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI -- It can be a pretty risky thing to do if you've already tried to install them before, but you can give it a shot. | 05:36 |
| Gnea | tsuna27: it is probably a separate partition on your main disk - your system wouldn't happen to be a dell/compaq/acer/something else? | 05:36 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: noob ? use wattOS | 05:36 |
| gaintsura | Gnea: I use a gui and I've got a webdev server on here | 05:36 |
| tsuna27 | toshiba | 05:36 |
| Gnea | gaintsura: with less than 256 meg ram? | 05:36 |
| gaintsura | oh | 05:36 |
| gaintsura | god no | 05:36 |
| gaintsura | I'd hang myself | 05:36 |
| [T]BludShoT | haha | 05:36 |
| [T]BludShoT | yeah this thing has 188megs of ram | 05:36 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: any luck? | 05:36 |
| bdunlap | gnea, there was no setting for anything besides hard drive ide or something else, boot passwords, and bootup device ordering | 05:36 |
| [T]BludShoT | i just checked | 05:36 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: wattOS is based on ubuntu | 05:36 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: o.O | 05:36 |
| [T]BludShoT | but dude, it ran ubuntu desktop v6.10 just fine (i mean kinda slow but whatever) | 05:37 |
| glitsj16 | Geoffrey2: if you have imagemagick installed you can easily resize your images in batch, see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php for examples and options | 05:37 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: do you have another ubuntu system laying around? | 05:37 |
| [T]BludShoT | no | 05:37 |
| [T]BludShoT | i dont have any other computers i can mess up unfortunately | 05:37 |
| tsuna27 | gnea: okay so i do dual boot, all i want to do is remove the icon | 05:37 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: what are you typing on now? wintendo? | 05:37 |
| [T]BludShoT | xp | 05:37 |
| Gnea | well at least it's not vista ;) | 05:38 |
| [T]BludShoT | haha | 05:38 |
| bdunlap | gnea, i've made sure my phone is set to visibility-on so i dont know what else to do. GRR | 05:38 |
| noob_oops | is file manager same as file browser? | 05:38 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: yes | 05:38 |
| [T]BludShoT | what i just want to have is this web server for internal development, not for access by the outside world | 05:38 |
| [T]BludShoT | so i can do php, mysql | 05:38 |
| [T]BludShoT | and i want to have a virtual harddrive thing | 05:38 |
| noob_oops | i can't find my windows files there... where should i be looking? | 05:39 |
| [T]BludShoT | so i can work on the files right on the server | 05:39 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: can u try out wattOS on it | 05:39 |
| BiosElement | [T]BludShoT: XAMPP for Linux sounds like what you need. | 05:39 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: okay, pastebin this list please: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep blue | 05:39 |
| [T]BludShoT | and not have to upload crap | 05:39 |
| tsuna27 | gnea: i need help | 05:39 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: don't u see any windows partitions in the file manager ? | 05:39 |
| Gnea | tsuna27: well, it's probably important that it remain on the system... as far as keeping it off the desktop, can't you delete the shortcut? | 05:40 |
| tsuna27 | no the icon is on my desktop and i cant delet it | 05:40 |
| bdunlap | gnea, http://pastebin.ca/1184949 | 05:40 |
| [T]BludShoT | does wattOS have a website... im trying to find it.. | 05:40 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: can u send the screenshot of ur file manager . ? | 05:40 |
| murlidhar | [T]BludShoT: planetwattos .com i think | 05:41 |
| paul____ | help, cant install vlc, it says broken packages | 05:41 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: my suggestion would be, is if you can figure out a way to display remote X applications on your XP system, install ubuntu server on the system and set it up, then just export X display to the XP system and run any GUIs you need that way | 05:41 |
| === ryaxnb is now known as ryaxnb2 | ||
| === ryaxnb2 is now known as ryaxnb3 | ||
| wbmj | tsuna27: The partition is probably beilg seen as a diskspace.......open gconf-editor scroll down to nautilus open desktop and uncheck media | 05:41 |
| BiosElement | [T]BludShoT: If all you want is a Dev Server i still think running XAMPP on a localhost server would be your best option. It's quite easy to use and works really well in a Dev environment. | 05:42 |
| murlidhar | paul____: sudo apt-get update --fix-broken | 05:42 |
| [T]BludShoT | i suppose but i really didnt want to run the server on my main computer | 05:42 |
| Asadia1 | Hello | 05:42 |
| [T]BludShoT | and i wanted to run it on linux not windows | 05:42 |
| paul____ | murlidhar: will try | 05:42 |
| [T]BludShoT | ok so, Gnea, you are saying i should install the ubuntu server with no gui | 05:43 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: I've actually been through almost all of that, I didn't see much difference | 05:43 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: please upload to a picwizard.com | 05:43 |
| [T]BludShoT | i figure if i do that its going to be super complicated to get the web server going tho | 05:43 |
| paul____ | murlidhar: didn't work, still broken | 05:43 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: oh my... well, that looks pretty much what i've got going here... there's got to be something we're missing | 05:43 |
| Asadia1 | I don't want to be rude, but how do I go about finding an answer to my problem? | 05:43 |
| Tommo-dmc | Ask it | 05:43 |
| murlidhar | Asadia1: but have patience | 05:43 |
| tsuna27 | wbmj: where is gconf- editor | 05:43 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: yeah - the GUI seems to be your major drawback on there, and since it's going to be a server anyway, would it not be better to devote those resources to apache? | 05:44 |
| Asadia1 | Ok, I have dl a antivirus, and it's saying it doesn't have a program to open it...what's the deal? | 05:44 |
| wbmj | tsuna27: alt-f1....then type gconf-editor | 05:44 |
| Tommo-dmc | Asadia1: What's the file extension on the file you downloaded? What's the anti-virus you downloaded? | 05:44 |
| [T]BludShoT | Gnea, yeah i guess i'll try that. I mean, it seems logical that the reason ubuntu 8 can't install is cuz its just not light weight enough for this old crappy computer | 05:44 |
| Asadia1 | .exe and AVG | 05:44 |
| gaintsura | wbmj: alt+f2 is the 'run' window | 05:44 |
| bdunlap | gnea, the only other thing I can figure is it's a defective laptop | 05:44 |
| gaintsura | Asadia1: .exe will not work in linux | 05:44 |
| wbmj | oops | 05:44 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: and fglrxinfo still gives you indirect rendering? | 05:44 |
| Tommo-dmc | Asadia1: Are you on ubuntu? .exe is a windows executable | 05:44 |
| gaintsura | Asadia1: look into ClamAV or similar for linux | 05:45 |
| murlidhar | Asadia1: hmm exe doesn't work in linux | 05:45 |
| Asadia1 | yeah I just installed Ubuntu today...Ok ClamAV will do. | 05:45 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: yes, not direct | 05:45 |
| Gnea | [T]BludShoT: like i said, i've had the same problem, and solved it the same way - it's just a matter of reallocating resources to their most effectiveness | 05:45 |
| bdunlap | gnea, i dont even remember bluetooth being installed or working or trying to work in vista (what it came with) | 05:45 |
| Asadia1 | Thank you. | 05:45 |
| Tommo-dmc | Asadia1: Also don't forget to use synaptic, it's a lot more streamlined and typically more stable than custom downloaded programs, even if they're popular ones | 05:46 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: done ? | 05:46 |
| Asadia1 | Ok thanks. | 05:46 |
| bdunlap | gnea, i saw another program that i installed - its a huge bluetooth icon. i tried to turn the 'radio on' and it said resource unavailable | 05:46 |
| tsuna27 | wbmj: wher in the conf editor | 05:46 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: sorry, but... how? | 05:46 |
| bdunlap | gnea, and it says no devices | 05:46 |
| ColdSilence27 | after log in it says some thing bout home file being ignored y | 05:47 |
| wbmj | tsuna27: apps/nautilus/desktop.. | 05:47 |

| wbmj | tsuna27: apps/nautilus/desktop..then uncheck volumes_visible | 05:48 |

| noob_oops | murlidhar: bad link? | 05:48 |
| gaintsura | bobertdos: the weird thing is... I installed catalyst like 4 months ago and it worked fine, since then a plethora of upgrades and now it doesn't work, no new upgrades in about a week | 05:48 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: well according to http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/acer.html, the only reports are from G users | 05:49 |
| === hilang is now known as anjinx | ||
| [T]BludShoT | one time i tried to install gentoo and my brain exploded | 05:49 |

| wbmj | np | 05:49 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: so i wasn't sure if G was a sub-model or not.... so i guess that rules that out :) | 05:49 |
| BiosElement | Is there a list for the Ubuntu filesystem? Like what the various folders are used for? I'm doing a re-install and when i install stuff i want to stick it in the right places and such. | 05:49 |

| bdunlap | gnea, it's the same model but with more ram and a better graphcis card i think | 05:49 |
| bdunlap | gnea, no bluetooth? | 05:50 |
| bobertdos | gaintsura: Well, I'm guessing one or more of those upgrades changed Xorg or some of the open source drivers and now they're probably butting heads, 'ya know? | 05:50 |
| k20a | what would i use to unrar a .rar file in gnome? | 05:50 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: think you could take off some panels and see if the bluetooth chipset is installed? | 05:50 |
| bdunlap | gnea, but what the hell do i have a bluetooth HARDWARE button for?!?! | 05:50 |
| === ksatria-yakuza is now known as hilang | ||
| gaintsura | right, well I reconfigured xconf from scratch, and afaik the ati/fglrx drivers haven't been upgraded | 05:50 |
| bdunlap | gnea, um. i could try. not sure if i'd get it all back together though.... | 05:51 |
| bazhang | bdunlap, no cursing | 05:51 |
| Gnea | bdunlap: for the same reason i have a wifi button and no wifi builtin: to cut costs | 05:51 |

| bdunlap | Device (if applicable), sharing folders overview/sharing service on or off, and a | 05:54 |
| bdunlap | shortcut to the Acer user guide, drivers and utilities. | 05:54 |

| murlidhar | noob_oops: did u click the up button ? | 05:55 |
| bdunlap | gnea, does that mean its windows-only bluetooth? | 05:55 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: Yes, to my Home Folder | 05:55 |

| Denham2010 | Jack3: grub numbers hard drives from 0 whereas the filesystem starts from 1, so hd0,0 is the first partition of your first drive, ie sda1. hd1,1 is the second partition of your second drive, ie sdb2. | 06:00 |

| Jack3 | Denham2010, is there anyway to verify that ? I know the Master IDE hard drive is where I am installing linux to, but I want to be positive | 06:01 |
| bdunlap | SplashTK, you need to change your setting for the output | 06:03 |
| SplashTK | bdunlap, where do I do that, alsamixer? | 06:03 |
| bdunlap | SplashTK, it needs to be HDAIntel (alsa) | 06:03 |
| bdunlap | SplashTK, right click on your volume icon in the task bar, select properties | 06:03 |
| bdunlap | er preferences | 06:03 |
| trojatra | Anyone in here play WoW via Wine (installed in Ubuntu, not a windows partition)? | 06:04 |

| SplashTK | k | 06:07 |
| Gigadelic_IIDX | anyone? | 06:07 |

| Denham2010 | Hi all, hoping someone has experience with v4l radio devices. Have AverMedia A16AR DVBT + FM installed (SAA7134 card 99) and all detected. DVB works perfectly, radio is installed and registered to /dev/radio0. Have tried ivti, fm, gnomeradio and kradio. All tune into radio stations (signal indicators confirm this) but I do not get any audio. Thought it may be something to do with pulseaudio, but killing the pulseaudio daemon has no effect. | 06:14 |
| Gnea | Gigadelic_IIDX: are you sure you own the system? | 06:14 |
| bdunlap | ThersiT, I found one i like but i cant remember the name, it's in synaptic though, search for rss | 06:14 |
| Gigadelic_IIDX | ....... | 06:14 |
| trojatra | Martiini: Gnash is very in development, it's better to use proprietary Flash if you don't have an issue with copyright issues. | 06:14 |
| Gigadelic_IIDX | what do u mean | 06:14 |
| zabeehkhan | clear | 06:14 |

| Gigadelic_IIDX | and now i cant login | 06:16 |
| zabeehkhan | no | 06:16 |
| trojatra | Martiini: did you run the software updater to make sure Flash and Firefox are both up to date? I have never had an issue like that. | 06:16 |
| l3d | I dont know what the heck is going on with virtualbox but it wont let me install the modules for the kernel | 06:16 |
| scientus | mano there is a eeepc community distro | 06:16 |
| bdunlap | l3d, do you have your kernel headers installed? | 06:16 |

| Overand | I have an ubuntu-server machine with a noisy laptop drive - is there a proper way to minimize disk usage so I can have the drive spin down and not constantly come back up? | 06:17 |

| scientus | when i so to services of network manager i get you cannot access the system configuration. i am an admin. i can do it from another user account. how to i fix it | 06:17 |
| bdunlap | l3d, go to synaptic and search for your kernel and you should see your kernel as installed with a green box, then look for the corresponding 'headers' and isntall them | 06:17 |
| l3d | ty | 06:18 |
| Gigadelic_IIDX | idk i forgot man | 06:18 |
| l3d | will do | 06:18 |
| Gnea | Gigadelic_IIDX: well, if you can get the system to stabilize and not lock up anymore, it might be possible to fix that... | 06:18 |
| bdunlap | zabeehkhan, can you log into X as root? | 06:18 |

| Amerikan | bdunlap: Do you have to mount it or anything? or does linux do it all? and do I just leave it there after I make it | 06:34 |

| scientus | is there another irc where people will actually listen to your questions???? | 06:35 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: go to terminal | 06:36 |
| scientus | all i ever do here is help other people and never get my question awnsered | 06:36 |
| ra21vi | murlidhar: there is much difference | 06:36 |
| scientus | its all noobs | 06:36 |
| Kohlrak | i guess i came at a bad time... | 06:36 |
| seb90210 | Den, i cannot help you except to say it is supported, all the philips are, terratec and hauppage and suck...the audio - theres out from the card and in to the soundcard but then it gets fuzzy as far as the external or internal | 06:36 |
| MIKED | hey there; is there a way I can do this with ubuntu: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/connectionmethods/windowsics.htm | 06:36 |
| seb90210 | such...not suck lol | 06:36 |
| murlidhar | scientus: same here but i like what i do | 06:36 |
| Kohlrak | scientus: expectable that you help others and not get help... I usually end up just rephrasing the question 5 to 10 minutes later and that helps | 06:36 |

| Denham2010 | seb90210: Thanks seb, it's an AverMedis DBVT +FM hybrid. the DVBT works perfectly in Myth....just the radio giving me grief. | 06:37 |
| seb90210 | alot of the issues are in the alsamixer as far as aux-in, audio setings, etc.. | 06:37 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: sorry | 06:37 |
| Terralthra | Is it possible that the root paramater for GRUB isn't (hd0,0)? | 06:37 |
| scientus | gnome-keyring seem to still be buggy. i keep getting errors but my it works for other users. how can i reset it? | 06:37 |
| Terralthra | I copied it from the other entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it's causing an error >.> | 06:38 |
| scientus | to unlockable apps just wont come up | 06:38 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: what is the size of your hard disk | 06:38 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: 120 gig | 06:38 |
| Kohlrak | scientus: not sure.. i never use it that much, but if you know the package name, purge it with apt-get and then reinstall it | 06:39 |
| seb90210 | will not be of much help then, I've got a Terratec and a Hauppage...the Terratec has the philips tuner...i use the plain headphone/speaker jack on both ends to hook it up from the tuner to the soundcard | 06:39 |
| Kohlrak | scientus: not 100% sure if yuo can do that though | 06:39 |
| scientus | Kohlrak, i dont think i can purge it cause its a dependant of ubuntu-desktop | 06:39 |
| Denham2010 | Thanks seb...I'll keep trying..... | 06:40 |
| Kohlrak | scientus: then it's gotta have configuration files somewhere. (not sure where though cause i havn't even used ubuntu for more than a year and never had the gumption to look for this stuff) | 06:40 |
| Kohlrak | scientus: typically, if you delete configuration files, it'll try tomake a new one from scratch, but i don't know if the keyring is the same way so use that as a last resort if you can't decypher the config files | 06:41 |
| MIKED | hey everyone, can you help me to fix this error when I try to access my windows drive "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'OS'." | 06:41 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: i am afraid that u seem to have ubuntu installed on the whole hard disk and hence u have lost all the data that was on windows and other drivers. | 06:41 |
| Kohlrak | MIKED: sudo? or maybe you have hds locked in the bios? | 06:41 |
| === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak | ||
| noob_oops | murlidhar: would it be worth trying a data recovery lab? | 06:42 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: u should have asked somebody before installing linux about how to install | 06:42 |
| Kohlrak | noob_oops, do you have ntfs tools installed? | 06:42 |
| noob_oops | don't know | 06:42 |
| === steve_ is now known as spideyman | ||
| Kohlrak | noob_oops, search for ntfs in synaptics | 06:42 |
| MIKED | uh | 06:42 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: i guess u can recover it by trying data recovery | 06:42 |
| MIKED | i dont think I have anything locked in bios | 06:43 |
| Kohlrak | Miked: do you have to enter a password to see grub? | 06:43 |
| MIKED | i dont know | 06:43 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: he has 120 hard disk and has installed 103 gb on ubuntu | 06:43 |
| scientus | does anyone know what pacages/configureation files the gnome unlocker uses---is it based on keyring? | 06:43 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: so that means his whole hard disk is formatted | 06:43 |
| Kohlrak | murlidhar: he's missing 7 gigs... ubuntu doesn't take 7 gigs. | 06:44 |
| MIKED | if I type grub in consol it just takes me to the grub prompt | 06:44 |
| MIKED | I dont have to type in a password or anything | 06:44 |
| Kohlrak | miked: i ment when you turn it off an turn on your computer. | 06:44 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: ubuntu took 103 gigs | 06:44 |
| Kohlrak | murlidhar: where's the other 7? | 06:44 |
| MIKED | yea I have to type a username and password to get into ubuntu | 06:45 |
| MIKED | but thats it | 06:45 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: /dev/sda2 106G 2.3G 103G 3% / | 06:45 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: so you think i installed over everything, or just lost all the addresses? | 06:45 |
| MIKED | nothing with grub | 06:45 |
| noob_oops | kohlrak: i have libntfs-3g23... | 06:45 |
| negge | how do you update the system time against a time server? My Ubuntu servers time is almost 12 hours off | 06:45 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: ubuntu is installed at / | 06:45 |
| Kohlrak | noob_oops, if you've had that and tried to get to your ntfs drive, it's gone. | 06:46 |
| Kohlrak | miked: hm... that's odd then. | 06:46 |
| ikonia | negge: ntpd or ntpdate | 06:46 |
| seb90210 | Denham2010 all i can really say is all the Hauppage cards are well supported in linux and by far are the choice cards especially the 1212 model | 06:46 |
| Kohlrak | murlidhar: i still wanna know what happened to that 7 gigs. they just don't disappear, but it does seem that the ntfs is gone | 06:46 |
| ss23 | I just rebuilt a partition table on a disk I needed using fdisk, any chance of getting the data back? | 06:46 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: i am not sure . but i strongly recommend u to go to a data recovery lab if really have important data that u cannot afford to lose. | 06:46 |
| scientus | are there any topical channels about the parts of ubuntu????--if i have a problem with a gnome ap i can jsut go to that channel and get help | 06:47 |
| ikonia | ss23: not really, not without a solid level of knowledge and time | 06:47 |
| * ss23 crys... | 06:47 | |
| scientus | having a gazilliionn installing type questions make it had to get bug help | 06:47 |
| Kohlrak | ss23: as long as you havn't wrote to that area, you should be able to recover it somehow... however... it won't be easy | 06:47 |
| MIKED | any ideas on how to fix it ? | 06:47 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: remember that it is 103 gigs so file system takes needs its own space | 06:48 |
| noob_oops | kohlrak: murlidhar: the data i'm looking for is photos and music. probably about 35-40 gig worth... :( | 06:48 |
| seb90210 | data recovery services - those are for windows users :) | 06:48 |
| Kohlrak | murlidhar: 7 gigs? That's alot of space... | 06:48 |
| ss23 | I havent touched it at all, I just booted up thinking I changed the right disk and turns out I did it to the wrong drive | 06:48 |
| ikonia | negge: the type od data doesn't change the senario | 06:48 |
| ss23 | Havent changed/written anything. So no quick fix? | 06:48 |
| Sekure | I have sshv2 installed (the new one). can i also install the old one? | 06:48 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: but 120 gigs too is | 06:48 |
| ikonia | ss23: I'd consider that data gone, and start looking into making backups in future | 06:48 |
| ss23 | Well I did | 06:49 |
| Kohlrak | ss23: no quick fix that i know of | 06:49 |
| ss23 | I backed up everything to that drive | 06:49 |
| ss23 | :( | 06:49 |
| ikonia | Sekure: there is only one verion provided by ubuntu, and it supports both V1 and V2 drive | 06:49 |
| ikonia | ss23: then the data should still be on the other drive then | 06:49 |
| Kohlrak | noob_oops: your data's gone if it's that much | 06:49 |
| murlidhar | Kohlrak: my 20 gb partitions gives me 19.3 gigs | 06:49 |
| ss23 | I still had stuff I needed on it | 06:49 |
| ikonia | ss23: then the data should still be on the other drive then | 06:49 |
| Sekure | NOT found, module ssh2 disabled | 06:49 |
| Sekure | Get it from http://0xbadc0de.be/ - use v0.11! | 06:49 |
| Sirisian | On ubuntu does php default to version 4 or something instead of 5? | 06:50 |

| ikonia | Sekure: no, version 5 | 06:50 |
| ikonia | oops | 06:50 |

| Sekure | ikonia: I'm compiling something... | 06:50 |
| Kohlrak | murlidhar: shoudln't be 7 gigs though... i would expect more of something like 1 gig. But oh well... | 06:51 |
| ikonia | Sekure: wgat exactly ? | 06:51 |
| Sekure | thats one of the messages when i type ./configure, for hydra... | 06:51 |
| noob_oops | so much for a good saturday morning project... | 06:51 |
| === Sekure is now known as Secyourbox | ||
| murlidhar | noob_oops: those times . data recovery wasn't too helpful . but now times have changed . who knows | 06:52 |
| Kohlrak | noob_oops: just try not to download alot. download your data recovering tool and might want to ask around in irc instead of looking for help on the web as that takes more space on your hd | 06:52 |
| Kohlrak | noob_oops: the more you download, the less chance you have of recovery | 06:53 |
| ikonia | Sekure check the configure options, openssh has V1 and V2 compatability on ubuntu | 06:53 |
| ikonia | Secyourbox: check the configure options, openssh has V1 and V2 | 06:54 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: after experiencing bad experience it is always advisable to back up importand data on a cd or dvd with the slowest burning possible speed. and backing up at different places | 06:54 |
| Secyourbox | I read the README, and it says to use the old one... | 06:54 |
| Laris | Hello | 06:54 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: u there ? | 06:54 |
| rlc | sup? | 06:54 |
| seb90210 | hmm 120GB hdd should give 103 or so when formatted thats not unusual, theres no missing GB's...always can boot knoppix to see any drives | 06:54 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: yep | 06:54 |
| ikonia | Secyourbox: I apprciciatre that but openssh on ubuntu has version 1 and 2 support | 06:54 |
| ecksor | hmm, where can I get assistance on the forums? It says I login but it jumps me right to the main forum page on ubuntu and as the login prompt again | 06:54 |

| Kohlrak | psp: rm | 06:55 |
| psp | ok | 06:55 |
| pteague | ubuntu security seems to be down :( | 06:55 |

| psp | Why's that? | 06:55 |
| tom_ | Is there a way to record online radio streams? I'd like to schedule a recording of a media player stream to a set schedule for later listening. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? | 06:55 |
| Kohlrak | pteague: what do you mean? | 06:55 |
| ikonia | Secyourbox: ahh ok, I've just read some doc on it | 06:55 |
| ikonia | Secyourbox: it looks like that the physical ssh client - not the verion support, thats in ubuntu is not compatible | 06:56 |
| psp | I can't remove folders with rm? | 06:56 |
| pteague | i can't get the security updates... it seems to be the only repository i can't connect to atm | 06:56 |
| fde | psp: -r | 06:56 |
| seb90210 | rmdir | 06:56 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar, kohlrak: Thanks for all the help. Wish me luck at the lab. | 06:56 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: best of luck | 06:56 |
| ecksor | security is slowwww | 06:56 |
| ecksor | for me too | 06:56 |
| Kohlrak | tom_ usually things (depending on the program) are sent to tmp. For instance, you view a site with flash videos (like youtube), you can find the flash video files (flv) in the tmp | 06:57 |
| ecksor | like 10+- kb/se | 06:57 |
| Kohlrak | noop_oops: good luck. | 06:57 |
| psp | Fde thanks :D | 06:57 |
| murlidhar | noob_oops: remember my points for future | 06:57 |
| pteague | ok, there we go... finally letting me get the kernel update | 06:57 |
| noob_oops | murlidhar: I've definitely learned my lesson. and thanks for all the pointers. | 06:57 |
| tom_ | Kohlrak: yes, but this is like an online internet radio station. I want it to login and start recording the stream at a certain time and then stop at a certain time on a set schedule. | 06:58 |
| d4r1os | hi all | 06:58 |
| === Secyourbox is now known as sekyourbox | ||
| dorange | hi | 06:58 |
| Kohlrak | tom_ #ubuntu-offtopic might be able to help with that. you're probably gonna have to look for that in synaptic. | 06:58 |
| tom_ | Kohlrak: and the station is in media player format. There is a windows program that will do this but I'd much rather do it in linux -- it's cleaner if it's possible. Windows and server don't go well together imo | 06:58 |
| murlidhar | tom_: i guess it needs some bash scripting . yes it's possible . but i am yet to learn bash scripting :( | 06:59 |
| scientus | i trieed removing myself from admin and the dialog still wont popup | 06:59 |
| sekyourbox | ikonia, cant use it? | 06:59 |
| Kohlrak | tom_ i know, i used to run a server from windows xp... very unstable... | 06:59 |
| ikonia | sekyourbox: can you please stop changing nicks | 06:59 |
| ra21vi | can anyone tell me why this is happeening to me? is there somthing with ldconfig or what? | 06:59 |
| s3a | does any1 no of a msn messenger client for ubuntu that would allow me to play windows live games like uno since windows live messneger doesnt work in wine? | 06:59 |

| sekyourbox | ikonia: im trying to remember my registered nick, sorry | 06:59 |
| psp | windows live messenger sucks imo | 06:59 |
| tom_ | murlidhar: bash scripting? what actual program would I use to actually get the stream though? I've tried wget and it doesn't like media player streams | 06:59 |
| d4r1os | s3a: don't know if you can use pidgin for IM | 06:59 |
| s3a | d4r1os: ya pidgin is my favourite but it doesnt support the games for wen i want to play with my gfd | 07:00 |
| * murlidhar scratches his head | 07:00 | |
| ikonia | sekyourbox: from what I've just read it looks like you've got to go and get a very old client version and build it, but I'd strongly recommended against that, as it most likley won't work against things like the current version of openssl and it won't be very ssecure any way | 07:00 |
| seb90210 | pidgin is compat, less the viral crap like in the real msn | 07:00 |
| murlidhar | tom_: some streamer . | 07:00 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: wrong path name to eclipse it seems... | 07:00 |
| murlidhar | tom_: yeah gstreamer. | 07:00 |
| d4r1os | s3a: ah ok... hm... dont know if there is another IM client supporting that feature | 07:00 |
| psp | But pidgin doesn't support fancy webcams etc :P | 07:00 |
| seb90210 | which is in itself viral | 07:01 |

| s3a | Jakob_the_liar: dont codecs get automatically installed wen u try to play a certain file? | 07:07 |
| d4r1os | Jakob_the_liar: sorry misunderstanding | 07:07 |
| Guest814 | i don't know | 07:07 |

| Guest814 | murlidhar i am facing a kiddish prob | 07:08 |
| bullgard4 | Kohlrak: You have just crowded this channel unnecessarily. | 07:08 |
| dty545 | it is complaining about memory, but i object to the notion that because im using wine it has to be a wine issue | 07:08 |
| murlidhar | Guest814: go on | 07:08 |
| ra21vi | Kohlrak: that is not the case, I am executing that ./eclipse in dir containing the eclipse... | 07:08 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: stop - he was giving you advice | 07:08 |
| seb90210 | enable certain repositories, medibuntu, ultamatix...and all is well | 07:08 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: you persistantly do this - so please stop now and take it to a more appropriate channel | 07:08 |
| Guest814 | i can't see the youtube videos and couldn't view the other flash videos on firfox | 07:08 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: odd, any extra stuff apended to the file name? If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall. | 07:08 |
| scientus | will you break your system if you install a upstream kernel.org driver? | 07:08 |
| === Guest814 is now known as vampire | ||
| scientus | i mean kernel? | 07:08 |
| Kohlrak | Guest814: hardy or gutsy? | 07:08 |
| ikonia | scientus: I'd advise against it unless you are %110 confident with what your doing | 07:09 |
| bazhang | scientus, possibly, and you will lose support here | 07:09 |
| pabix | Hello! I am experiencing a strange phenomenon with truecrypt: when it is heavily working, encrypting and decrypting files, I get some white noise on my SOUND output. | 07:09 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest46537 | ||
| scientus | i was just wondering im not thinking of doing it | 07:09 |
| pabix | And this happens to me on a workstation as well as on my laptop. | 07:09 |
| Kohlrak | scientus: probably | 07:09 |
| murlidhar | Guest53315: do u have ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:09 |
| pabix | Did you experience such a thing? | 07:09 |
| gaurav__ | pardon me murli | 07:09 |
| scientus | pabix, sounds like you have a emulated sound card and you processor is overloaded | 07:09 |
| murlidhar | gaurav__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:10 |
| scientus | pabix, and maybe truecrypt had a low nice rating that gives it high priority | 07:10 |
| pabix | could be | 07:10 |
| scientus | sudo ps aux | grep truecrypt | 07:10 |
| kriebel | I installed 8.04 x86 on a machine with a GeForce 6600 and the nvidia driver causes weird patterns on screen | 07:10 |
| pabix | it is not happening right now | 07:10 |
| scientus | sudo renice -1 truecrypt | 07:10 |
| kriebel | is this a known issue and is there a fix? | 07:10 |
| murlidhar | gaurav__: that should install all the general flash and java packages | 07:10 |
| bullgard4 | s3a: Thank you for explaining. | 07:11 |
| Kohlrak | kriebel: weird problems with graphics drivers are very common | 07:11 |
| pabix | scientus, why -1 ? +1 is better ! Thanks for explaining | 07:11 |
| scientus | idk most mounts give like a -3 or -5 | 07:11 |
| gaurav__ | and dear that day what happen was that wile installing linux i distrb my windows partation and it's ntfs files got currupted so somehow i restore only my data den again re-install my win n now both are running very well | 07:11 |
| === jimmy51_____ is now known as jimmy51_ | ||
| neeto | lol nice. | 07:12 |
| kriebel | Kohlrak, yes, but I can't be the only one, and it's a little annoying to have happen on an LTS release | 07:12 |
| murlidhar | wb Myrtti | 07:12 |
| gaurav__ | mulridhar i didn't find the good sound output here in linux any thing i can improve | 07:12 |
| Kohlrak | kriebel: best thing to do is google or wait till the room's calmed down a little. graphics issues are a painful and long task. | 07:13 |
| ra21vi | Kohlrak: what should be uninstalled, the eclipse iw downl;oaded as tar.gz and extracted in ~/bin/eclipse | 07:13 |
| grendal_prime | ok this damn network manager thing is killing me!!! | 07:13 |
| murlidhar | gaurav__: hmm i am not sure . i found linux sounded better than xp im my pc | 07:13 |
| Myrtti | murlidhar: thanks | 07:13 |
| grendal_prime | every time i fire up a vpn connection, my dns gets screwwy. | 07:13 |
| scientus | grendal_prime, "you do not have sufficient permissions to access the resource"? | 07:13 |
| ikonia | kriebel: what drivers are you using for that card ? | 07:14 |
| artemis | hi, any1 from portugal ? | 07:14 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: always look for a package in synaptic first. Just get rid of all the files you extracted (have fun finding out what they are with all the files it likes to install) | 07:14 |
| chumpas | is anyone currently using an Atheros AR5007? | 07:14 |
| ikonia | kriebel: I assume your using the ubuntu supplied drivers in "driver manager" for nvidia | 07:14 |
| scientus | whoops grendal_prime "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." | 07:14 |
| scientus | ? | 07:14 |
| murlidhar | gaurav__: probably a driver problem | 07:14 |
| grendal_prime | no scientus thats not the problem | 07:14 |
| scientus | ok damn | 07:14 |
| scientus | thats my problem | 07:14 |
| EvaLuaTe | hello | 07:14 |
| kriebel | ikonia, I tried those and the "envy" ones, both have the same problem | 07:14 |
| EvaLuaTe | is ndiswrapper version 1.53 available for 8.04? | 07:15 |
| grendal_prime | Im just very use to doing things via the interfaces file. | 07:15 |
| gaurav__ | can i install that my chipset drivers here like we use to do in windows | 07:15 |
| chumpas | yes evaluate | 07:15 |
| grendal_prime | grrrrrrrrrrrrr...im going o bet | 07:15 |
| ikonia | kriebel: well, first of all, I'd never use envy (just for your information) and can you describe the issue a little more | 07:15 |
| ra21vi | Kohlrak: ok thanks, but in repository the eclipse is too old, 3.2 , and I downloaded 3.4 , so switching to synaptics is not in Option, | 07:15 |
| murlidhar | gaurav__: no . kernels are for that | 07:15 |
| EvaLuaTe | chumpas: the update manager doesn't display it though, where can i find it please? | 07:15 |
| gaurav__ | then | 07:15 |
| gaurav__ | in windows they are working well | 07:15 |
| chumpas | you can find it on google | 07:15 |
| gaurav__ | but in linux dey are very low | 07:16 |
| chumpas | just type ndiswrapper and it will take you to their website | 07:16 |
| kriebel | ikonia: when gnome loads (oddly it doesn't happen on the login splash), the whole screen looks like a quilt | 07:16 |
| EvaLuaTe | chumpas: ok, thanks | 07:16 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: that's odd. What's wrong with 3.2? The difference is in the program itself not the programming of your code. | 07:16 |
| chumpas | what exactly are you installing Evaluate? | 07:16 |
| chumpas | an Atheros card? | 07:16 |
| ikonia | kriebel: out of interest have you tried using the "nv" driver ? | 07:16 |
| ra21vi | but this really strange, the bash is showing very stupid error, not much information p[rovided, and also I can not find the references on Internet to fix that/.// I think the Ubuntu i installed using Wubi is corrupt.. I always rely on base Ubuntu installation./.. uhh my luck to use Wubi | 07:16 |
| kriebel | ikonia, some things are tilted about 45 degrees. some stuff has noisy lines through it. fresh blits are clean some of the time, like new menus | 07:16 |
| seb90210 | murlidhar , yes you're right gaudrav has the chipset drivers already installed - he's thinking the windows way, so bothersome | 07:16 |
| kriebel | ikonia: yes, nv works fine, but it's not going to cut it for this machines intended purpose | 07:17 |
| EvaLuaTe | chumpas: yes | 07:17 |
| chumpas | which one? | 07:17 |
| ikonia | kriebel: no, I appriciate that, I'm just curious to what does / does not work | 07:17 |
| EvaLuaTe | chumpas: no idea =) | 07:17 |
| holyguyver | How do I install programs that are .jar files? | 07:17 |
| EvaLuaTe | chumpas: i have a X51RL Asus Laptop | 07:17 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: they are java - you don't install them you run them in a JVM normally | 07:18 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: since when has bash ever been descript? unfortunately, errors are never as descript as the documentation for programs in linux IMO | 07:18 |
| seb90210 | holy drag them to a browser window | 07:18 |
| artemis | hi :) any1 form portugal ? | 07:18 |
| EvaLuaTe | chumpas: i don't really know what the chip is, but i have the windows drivers for it taht work | 07:18 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, how do I run them in a JVM? | 07:18 |
| chumpas | evaluate, check your IM window | 07:18 |
| Kohlrak | !br | artemis | 07:18 |
| ubottu | artemis: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 07:18 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: java $file | 07:18 |
| chumpas | **private window | 07:18 |
| ra21vi | Kohlrak: 3.4 is fast and good performing, and less memory usage... well please ask the eclipse developers not to releasse... also Ubntu should not be relases to frequently with just small changes.. Poeple can use the 1st Ubuntuversion , it just matter of OS use. why should one bother about the latest technology... Hey, I am going to build a bullok cart. Why a car... uhh | 07:19 |
| MIKED | hey everyone, can you help me to fix this error when I try to access my windows drive "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'OS'." | 07:19 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, I put that into the terminal but with the file replacing the word file? | 07:19 |
| kriebel | eeeew, xchat moved channel list from the window menu to the server menu | 07:19 |
| seb90210 | MIKED sudo mount whatever | 07:19 |
| pabix | MIKED, you should probably edit your fstab file | 07:19 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: the jar file, holyguyver you may find it benificial to read up a little but on java applications | 07:19 |
| ra21vi | MIKED: use sudo mount /media/path/to/mappe read /etc/fstab | 07:20 |
| eligos | hello | 07:20 |
| pabix | holle eligos | 07:20 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: i agree. I'm sick of ubuntu upgrading and making major changes in the programs and not minor changes along the way so it's smooth (look around how many hardy issues we have here) | 07:20 |
| pabix | just swap e and o. | 07:20 |
| MIKED | ok | 07:20 |
| eligos | anyone know of a good file sharing client | 07:20 |
| MIKED | you just told me 3 different things | 07:20 |
| gaurav__ | can any one tell how can i uninstall the virtualbox when i installed it | 07:20 |
| MIKED | what should I do | 07:20 |
| seb90210 | alot less than vista | 07:20 |
| Kohlrak | eligos: depends on what you share... | 07:20 |
| eligos | mp3 | 07:20 |
| ra21vi | Kohlrak: i too dont just upgrade every sec... but when something good comes out of developes pain, I just use and enjoy their work | 07:20 |
| MIKED | sudo mount | 07:20 |
| roberto | anyone has used manslide here> | 07:20 |
| negge | ikonia: I managed to udpate the time, just had to find a suitable ntp time server | 07:21 |
| negge | thanks for the hint | 07:21 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: aye... I've also noticed that package approval for ubuntu seems slow | 07:21 |
| eligos | Kohlrak, for MP3 | 07:22 |
| Dabbu | how to create bridge in ubuntu | 07:22 |
| Dabbu | network bridge | 07:22 |
| roberto | i nead to make a video slide show. what program can u use? | 07:22 |
| negge | MIKED: is there a Details link in the error box when you try mounting the windows drive? | 07:23 |
| pabix | roberto, kino, maybe? | 07:23 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, please read this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40586/ | 07:23 |
| pabix | or cinelerra | 07:23 |
| Kohlrak | eligos: frostwire... then there's the direct connect port. | 07:23 |
| negge | usually you get that message when you have shut down Windows uncleanly | 07:23 |
| MIKED | no there is no details link | 07:23 |
| Kohlrak | eligos: frostwire is alot like limewire if you've used that. same network so same results | 07:23 |
| roberto | @pabix kino does a video slideshow? or its a guess? | 07:23 |
| eligos | kohlrak, ok thanks, I'll give it a shot | 07:24 |
| pabix | roberto, it is a guess. | 07:24 |
| seb90210 | negge thats correct - then you can use the -force option and mounting works | 07:24 |
| gaurav__ | how to uninstall the packages an d tools | 07:24 |
| Kohlrak | gaurav__: sudo apt-get purge [package name here] | 07:24 |
| bombshelter13 | Is there a way to set up Compiz so it acts kind of like the 'Spaces' feature of OS X? I tried to emulate it using Desktop Wall and Expo, but this allows windows to stretch across more than one of the virtual desktop. (i.e, if I have a window taking up most of the screen on the top left desktop and move it half a screen to the right, half of the window is now on the top left desktop and the other half is on the top right). | 07:25 |
| ikonia | bombshelter13: join #compiz-fusion | 07:25 |
| kriebel | bombshelter13, I want to know how to do the opposite. I can't figure out how to get a window between spaces on OS X | 07:25 |
| Kohlrak | IMO, they should move the compiz channel to a "graphics" channel for general graphics issues as well | 07:26 |
| MIKED | there is no details link; how do I go about fixing this error then ? | 07:26 |
| gaurav__ | how can i view the .swf files | 07:26 |
| gaurav__ | ? | 07:26 |
| bombshelter13 | kriebel: Both ways are useful, sometimes, but unforunately it's the other that I'd like now. :/ | 07:26 |
| seb90210 | throw .swf files into a browser, same as jar | 07:26 |
| Kohlrak | gaurav__: what swf files? | 07:26 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, any idea what that means? | 07:27 |
| kriebel | bombshelter13, there's probably advanced options for that. might be in another module, infact. query #compiz-fusion | 07:27 |
| seb90210 | drag 'n drop | 07:27 |
| holyguyver | Kohlrak swf is flash files | 07:27 |
| Kohlrak | holyguyver: i know that much, but i don't know which ones he means. | 07:27 |

| scientus | is there anyway to login to launchpad non-ssl | 07:30 |
| seb90210 | it should work just by throwing them at an open browser window otherwise flash isn't installed, the flv files , xine or mplayer or vlc will open | 07:30 |

| gaurav__ | dear legend it's already installed | 07:32 |
| Kohlrak | gaurav__ but never in ubuntu? | 07:32 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: I've told you to do a little bit of basic reading on how to run java programs | 07:32 |
| chumpas | or a computer with Atheros AR5007 | 07:32 |
| devnull | hello | 07:32 |
| gaurav__ | well i am a newbie so till now not yet | 07:32 |
| kriebel | holyguyver: I think you need to provide some arguments to java to tell it what in the JAR to run | 07:32 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, but I am asking you to tell me what this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40586/ means. | 07:32 |
| scientus | also the ssl makes more latency probs | 07:32 |
| devnull | i was wondering what to do if my /var partition doesnt have enough room for an upgrade to the latest release | 07:33 |
| scientus | its not the processing | 07:33 |
| kriebel | a JAR is just a zip file, if you're really curious | 07:33 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: and I've just told you | 07:33 |
| scientus | its the endless pings/requests | 07:33 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, thank you | 07:33 |
| Theaxiom | Is devede a good program? | 07:33 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: you use "java" to run it, but you'll need to do a little bit of reading to understand how the jvm->java applications work | 07:33 |
| ikonia | Theaxiom: try it, see what you think | 07:33 |
| Theaxiom | ikonia: Thanks | 07:33 |
| chumpas | anyone? Compaq Presario c700? | 07:33 |
| chumpas | or Atheros AR5007? | 07:34 |
| chuy_max | Theaxiom, it is | 07:34 |
| Theaxiom | ikonia: I am too used to Windows with the pain of installing/uninstalling | 07:34 |
| Theaxiom | linux is so EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 07:34 |
| Theaxiom | I LVOE UBUNTU!!!!!!!! | 07:34 |
| kriebel | devnull: make a new partition/lv, boot single user or a live CD, copy your /var into it, delete the old /var contents, edit /etc/fstab, and reboot | 07:34 |
| Denham2010 | !quit | 07:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about quit | 07:34 |
| ikonia | chumpas: ssaying "anyone" is a pointless statments, if someone didn't see the question saying "anyone" doesn't help", if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know | 07:34 |
| chumpas | we'll Im just throwing it out there | 07:35 |
| devnull | kriebel ... thank you very much | 07:35 |
| chumpas | thing is I've been trying for over a week to get that card going in 8.04 | 07:35 |
| ikonia | chumpas: as I said, saying anyone in a channel is pointless | 07:35 |
| chumpas | we'll I can't go asking one by one | 07:35 |
| chumpas | can I? | 07:35 |
| ikonia | chumpas: no, but just ask the question, wait for a response, if no response is given, repeat the question/short summary | 07:36 |
| bazhang | chumpas, what is the issue; be very clear | 07:36 |
| chumpas | Okay, I have a Compaq Presario c700 series with an Atheros AR5007 | 07:36 |
| bazhang | chumpas, saying 'anyone' will never get you help. | 07:36 |
| chumpas | and I can't get wireless to work | 07:36 |

| chumpas | I know | 07:37 |
| chumpas | I've tried them :P | 07:37 |
| kriebel | Theaxiom, NTSC is the US standard | 07:37 |
| ikonia | chumpas: all in hardy, all showing the pitfalls | 07:37 |
| Theaxiom | kriebel: That's what I thought, thanks. | 07:37 |
| chumpas | I'm not really good as you can see | 07:38 |
| ikonia | chumpas: bottom line is it looks like that card is not detected rightly | 07:38 |
| kriebel | ikonia, a screenshot worked! http://backup.cawinet.com/foo.png | 07:38 |
| chumpas | I need someone to walk me through this | 07:38 |
| ikonia | chumpas: that card also doesn't look supported due to it being a madwifi card and wrongly identified | 07:38 |
| Slart | kriebel: you could put that in an art gallery =) | 07:39 |
| ikonia | krel: if it's a driver error with the nvidia drivers, you'll have to log a bug with nvidia, however, I'm wonder if anything obvious like monitor refersh rate may help ? | 07:39 |

| murlidhar | ikonia: how can i edit the startup script . i don't want services like wacom or ufw in the start up scripts | 07:41 |
| Slart | !boot | 07:41 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 07:41 |
| MIKED | hey everyone, can you help me to fix this error when I try to access my windows drive "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'OS'." | 07:42 |
| murlidhar | thanks Slart | 07:42 |
| japheth | hey people, I need a particular user to have permission to chown it's files to someone else, but do not want to grant this permission to all users (i.e. rstchown = 0). Any suggestions? | 07:42 |
| ikonia | murlidhar: update-rc.d | 07:42 |
| kriebel | Slart, it's a gigabyte gv-nx66t128d | 07:42 |
| ikonia | japheth: a sudo group ? | 07:43 |
| kriebel | if you wanted that much detail | 07:43 |
| Kohlrak | japheth: you mean sudo things or permissions to a file? | 07:43 |
| murlidhar | ikonia: and where can i find that ? | 07:43 |
| ikonia | murlidhar: it's a binary on your ystem | 07:43 |
| ikonia | system | 07:43 |
| MaRoUaNe53 | please I have a question , when I connect to wifi network using ubuntu 8.04 should I always configure the connexion ? | 07:43 |
| ra21vi | MIKED: oh, I told you the way, anyway, open gnome-terminal , then sudo nautilus .. give your current password, and it opens the nautilus, go to computer and mount it | 07:43 |
| murlidhar | ikonia: application ? | 07:43 |
| japheth | Kohlrak: ikonia: I basically mean, I want user1 to be able to run the command "chown user2:user2 myfile.txt" | 07:43 |
| Slart | kriebel: that was fine, thanks... just curious what would create such a weird screenshot | 07:44 |
| ikonia | murlidhar: no, a sytem binary | 07:44 |
| ra21vi | MIKED: I am not sure if it will show the drives in root launched nautilus file maanager | 07:44 |
| japheth | Kohlrak: ikonia: currently, only root can do this, due to "rstchown = 1" | 07:44 |
| kriebel | MaRoUaNe53, if you join that network often, then save the config | 07:44 |
| murlidhar | ikonia: path ? | 07:44 |
| ikonia | japheth: yes which is why I suggest creating a sudo group | 07:44 |
| kriebel | if you're just hopping on, then don't | 07:44 |
| navandres1972 | Hi everybody | 07:44 |
| cjones | hi | 07:44 |
| ikonia | murlidhar: it's in your path, just type it | 07:44 |
| kriebel | I'm surprised the screenshot showed the errors | 07:45 |
| navandres1972 | do you know if there is a way to develop to iphone over ubuntu???? | 07:45 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: i think he means without sudo, which i think would be hard to do. | 07:45 |
| dty545 | ikonia: i just transferred my Warcraft III files from my ntfs to my home dir and saving worked fine, so like i said its not a wine issues, its a permissions issue :) | 07:45 |
| murlidhar | ikonia: thanks :) | 07:45 |
| japheth | ikonia: will creating a sudo group limit user1 to only be able to do chown, or will they basically have full root access then? | 07:45 |
| Theaxiom | Why is everything faster in linux? | 07:45 |
| Zuwxiv | Hey everyone, noob here | 07:45 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: I appriciate that, but you can use such things as "sudo" groups, then a shell alias may work around his issue | 07:45 |
| Kohlrak | dty545: wine doesn't like using exturnal drives that well. | 07:46 |
| seb90210 | add self to sudoers | 07:46 |
| ikonia | japheth: just down, thats it | 07:46 |
| Zuwxiv | How can I close a nonresponsive fullscreen application? | 07:46 |
| murlidhar | Theaxiom: :) | 07:46 |
| ikonia | japheth: chown only | 07:46 |
| dty545 | Kohlrak: its not external its a partition | 07:46 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: i know that, andi was about to suggest that, but diddn't know how picky he was... | 07:46 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, xkill? what DE are you in and what do you mean by "fullscreen"? | 07:46 |
| Kohlrak | dty545: it's exturnal to the virtual drive of wine. | 07:46 |
| japheth | ikonia: ok, thank you very much. I'll look into how to do that then. thanks again! (thanks to you too Kohlrak) | 07:46 |
| The-Compiler | What does "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error" mean if I want to chroot into a mac-system? | 07:46 |
| KenSentMe | Has the name for Ubuntu9.04 been announced already? | 07:47 |
| Zuwxiv | I had a game running, and I can't get the terminal up, so xkill isn't working | 07:47 |
| ikonia | The-Compiler: it means it can't execute /bin/bash (probably because /bin/bash isn't on a mac system) so it's not emptied the chroot | 07:47 |
| kriebel | The-Compiler, you need to chroot into a FS that has a shell for your kernel/standard library | 07:47 |
| ikonia | KenSentMe: no | 07:47 |
| ikonia | KenSentMe: it's marked as intriped | 07:47 |
| Zuwxiv | it's full screen, so I can't click on any of the Ubuntu interface | 07:47 |
| ikonia | KenSentMe: it's discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 07:47 |
| domas | ikonia: intrepid is 8.10? | 07:47 |
| dty545 | i have c mapped to this ntfs drive and run WoW no problem | 07:47 |
| ikonia | domas: ahh well done | 07:47 |
| domas | sorry :) | 07:47 |
| ikonia | KenSentMe: 9.04 doesn't exist yet | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | Zuwxiv: You can get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ( F7 to get back to X ) | 07:48 |
| ikonia | domas: most appriciated | 07:48 |
| The-Compiler | ikonia:, kriebel: So how can I chroot into it? | 07:48 |
| ikonia | The-Compiler: launch the shell the mac uses | 07:48 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, if you can ctrl-alt-f1 and get to a console, then you can try to gracefully reboot, otherwise you'll have to reboot | 07:48 |
| japheth | ikonia: can you point me to a particular link that will help me work out how to create a sudo group with particular permissions? | 07:48 |
| KenSentMe | ikonia, thanks for the info. Maybe i had missed something during the holidays | 07:48 |
| The-Compiler | ikonia, kriebel: There is a /media/mac/bin/bash and a -/bin/zsh | 07:48 |
| Zuwxiv | how can I kill the app from the terminal? I tried killall, but I'm really new at this, couldn't figure out how to use it | 07:48 |
| Zuwxiv | thanks for the help by the way | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | The-Compiler: You can't chroot into a mac system from linux | 07:48 |
| Kohlrak | japheth: google up: visudo "/etc/sudoers" | 07:48 |
| dty545 | Zuwxiv: you can try ctl+c | 07:49 |
| kriebel | ikonia: I don't think the Mac/BSD/Mach binaries will work in LInux | 07:49 |
| ikonia | kriebel: I'd be surprised | 07:49 |
| kriebel | so he can't chroot | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | Zuwxiv: What is the program? | 07:49 |
| japheth | Kohlrak: thanks, I'll give that a look | 07:49 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, dare I say read the man pages for kill, killall, and ps ? | 07:49 |
| dty545 | Zuwxiv; or if its not the current app, sudo kill 'pid', u can use top to get pid | 07:50 |
| Kohlrak | kriebel ikonia: it's possible as it seems they all use the same syscalls, however the libraries and such differ dramatically. | 07:50 |
| ikonia | japheth: can't find one off the top of my head but the man page covers it | 07:50 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: I didn't say it wasn't possible | 07:50 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, Alright I got that app started, now I have another question, how do I instal a js extention to Konqueror? | 07:51 |
| Zuwxiv | program was some game, a space sim IIRC | 07:51 |
| kriebel | maybe you could copy linux's bash into the tree somewhere, and provide that as a shell | 07:51 |
| ikonia | holyguyver: no idea, I guess the guys in #kubuntu or #kde would know | 07:51 |
| Zuwxiv | how do I use top to get pid? | 07:51 |
| seb90210 | The-Compiler , one should be able to mount hfv volumes read-write, therefore gaining root | 07:51 |
| ra21vi | uh, Now I am bored and frustrated, everyone is saying there is error in eclipse I download, can see the basic complain from bash | 07:51 |
| holyguyver | ikonia, thank you. | 07:51 |
| Terralthra | I could use some help with compat-wireless | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Zuwxiv: don't, just kill it | 07:51 |
| Zuwxiv | ah nvm | 07:51 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, you need to figure you the name of the executable that ran, which ps might call the "image name" | 07:52 |
| Terralthra | I installed an update earlier today, which apparently broke madwifi | 07:52 |
| Terralthra | in favor of "compat-wireles" | 07:52 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: it's probably the setup. the first error i noticed was that it said file not found... | 07:52 |
| kriebel | GNOME does a great job of hiding that from users, which is a terrible idea | 07:52 |
| Kartagis | how can i restore apache configuration file? purge and re-install didn't do it | 07:52 |
| wols_ | Kartagis: it does | 07:52 |
| Terralthra | I did some research, and I found that in order to use the drivers for my wifi card (atheros 802.11n based), I need to use "ath9k" | 07:53 |
| ra21vi | is here someone who can guide me | 07:53 |
| === jimmy51_____ is now known as jimmy51_ | ||
| Kohlrak | Kartagis: delete the conf file after purging (even though it should do that automatically) | 07:53 |
| kriebel | dpkg-reconfigure apache2 maybe | 07:53 |
| Terralthra | but it seems like the only way to do that is to use wireless-testing | 07:53 |
| Zuwxiv | name was vegastrike | 07:53 |
| Terralthra | which involves a complete kernel rebuild | 07:53 |
| Terralthra | so nothing works | 07:53 |
| The-Compiler | !ask | ra21vi | 07:53 |
| ubottu | ra21vi: 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. :-) | 07:53 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: that will lead to more problems | 07:53 |
| Kartagis | Kohlrak, i tried that too | 07:53 |
| wols_ | Kartagis: purge apache2.2-common | 07:53 |
| Zuwxiv | if the process ID is vegastrike, can't I just kill it? | 07:53 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, killall vefastrike then... | 07:53 |
| kriebel | no, that's the name. the process ID is a number | 07:54 |
| Kohlrak | wols_: how can that make things worse? | 07:54 |
| wols_ | Zuwxiv: process IDs can't be names, only numbers | 07:54 |
| Zuwxiv | hmm it worked, but didn't do anything | 07:54 |
| Zuwxiv | oh ok one sec | 07:54 |
| ra21vi | my PWD is thr dir which has eclipse bin, when i do file eclipse it show s the information abotu ELF Linux bin with shared libs, and when i do ldd eclipse it shows that not a dynamic executable . Kohlrak * | 07:54 |
| Zuwxiv | so what's the command? killall 6477? | 07:54 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: if you delete config files, dpkg will assume you deleted them on purpose and not recreate them on reinstall | 07:54 |
| Zuwxiv | (that's the PID) | 07:54 |
| Theaxiom | Anyone know a good program like peerguardian but for Ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | Terralthra: Are you trying to install ath9k ? | 07:54 |
| wols_ | Zuwxiv: killall uses names, not PIDs, kill uses PIDs | 07:55 |
| ra21vi | The-Compiler: you need to read what ever i have typed till yet in this channel.. then prompt | 07:55 |
| Zuwxiv | ah okay, still very new at this (obviously) | 07:55 |
| Kohlrak | ra32vi: maybe you accidnetally downloaded the windows eclipse or something like that. if it says it's not an executable, it must not be. | 07:55 |
| wols_ | ra21vi: what'S wrong with the ubuntu .deb for eclipse? | 07:55 |
| Zuwxiv | Hmm, I used both killall vegastrike and kill 6477 and nothing happened | 07:55 |
| wols_ | kill -9 | 07:56 |
| Kohlrak | wols_: he wants the updated minor version... the .deb is too old for him. | 07:56 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, it might be the case that your graphics card just won't come back | 07:56 |
| wols_ | ra21vi: tried the debian sid deb? | 07:56 |
| Zuwxiv | well I found one way out of it hehehe | 07:56 |
| Zuwxiv | killall -user | 07:56 |
| Zuwxiv | not the most elegant but it worked | 07:57 |
| kriebel | Zuwxiv, also, in UNIX, commands that succeed often don't return (print) anything | 07:57 |
| artemis | anyone from portugal? | 07:57 |

| artemis | wols: there is no one there and i need someone to help me with transtalin :) | 07:57 |

| Kohlrak | Zuwxiv: including screen svers? | 07:58 |
| artemis | wols_: OK :) | 07:58 |
| Zuwxiv | hmm not screensavers | 07:58 |
| Kohlrak | !ot | artemis | 07:58 |

| Kira | I keep forgetting how to find out about the files installed for an apt package. | 07:58 |
| ra21vi | wols_: actually I want to use 3.4 version. adn there is no problem with it, same downloaded archive is used on my Home PC, works fine. the only diff is that, Home pC has native instyalled Ubuntu, while this office PC has Ubuntu installed using Wubi | 07:58 |
| wols_ | Kira: dpkg -L <package> | 07:58 |

| ra21vi | wols_: both i686 | 07:59 |

| Kohlrak | Zuwxiv: (please put "Kohlrak" in front so i know you're talking to me when thsi channel is this crowded) Anyway, um.. i've seldom used graphics programs that take up full screen except the savers. try running from the terminal? might give you some information. | 08:00 |

| exzrael_ | this is strange to me because I experience it to be the other way around seb | 08:02 |
| Jordan_U | exzrael_: That's probably it, Adobe hates linux | 08:02 |
| Kartagis | thanks wols_, it worked | 08:02 |
| exzrael_ | also, it hangs up now and then and goes gray (on my E6600, 8800GTS 500Gb comp) | 08:02 |
| favro | gaurav__: you need the shockwave flash plugin from mozilla | 08:02 |
| Kohlrak | Elite: if you can set up a dhcp server with it, then yes. linux and it's distros are notorious for being good servers. | 08:03 |
| Theaxiom | gaurav__: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:03 |

| alistair | Help: using Wine when I uninstall an application it leaves the remnants in Wine programs folder every time??? | 08:15 |
| shabda | Is there a place where I can install a firefox version, which has flash support preconfigured, installing flashplugin-free/gnash, sure does not help on my Gutsy | 08:15 |
| Elite | Kohlrak: if i installed it as a VM would it still work? | 08:15 |
| Kohlrak | !wine | alistair | 08:15 |
| ubottu | alistair: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 08:15 |
| Kohlrak | Elite: if it has hardware access... | 08:15 |
| seb90210 | gnash doesn't work with other flash sites besides youtube, its not perfect... | 08:15 |
| Kohlrak | s3a: try giving it a bigger harddrive space within your vm program | 08:15 |
| Elite | Kohlrak: SO I need to allow it to have NIC access then in order for it to work | 08:16 |
| s3a | Kohlrak: o ya now no more error message all it does is show me windows xp loading then the window just disapears as if i clsoed it | 08:16 |
| gaurav__ | Could not open the file /home/gaurav/Desktop/hxp…-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding. ???????? can any one help me about this error i em trying to install but it is having this error | 08:16 |
| Kohlrak | Elite: yulp, and i don't know whether or not any vms can do that safel | 08:16 |
| s3a | Kohlrak: like it has the fading effect of wen i actually close windows too | 08:16 |
| shabda | seb90210: Should I try removing gnash, and reinstalling flashplugin-free, might be they are conflicting, and so I cant wath flash? | 08:16 |
| carlosb | hey, can someone tell me what the command is to delete a directory? | 08:16 |
| Elite | This idea is starting to sond good | 08:16 |
| chubs | rm | 08:17 |
| wols_ | s3a: that is not a ubuntu problem. ask #windows why it crashes on bootup | 08:17 |
| adam7 | carlosb: rm -rf /path/to/directory | 08:17 |
| Kohlrak | s3a: so now the vm crashes? try running from terminal and maybe that'll give you a clue... (personally i prefer vmware, not sure i used what you're using) | 08:17 |
| smee | <- wtb housemate who isnt a total dumbarse in computers | 08:17 |
| seb90210 | but flash in general has no issues with firefox, just make sure it's properly installed....yep make sure you have the repos and not just an install thru a redirect to the adobe site | 08:17 |
| chubs | carlosb: in case you're worried, this is the situation where rm -rf is the correct command | 08:17 |
| gaurav__ | ???/ | 08:18 |
| chubs | just don't do it on / | 08:18 |
| seb90210 | shabda i think it's calls flash-plugin-mozilla or some variant thereoff | 08:18 |
| DooMRunneR | good morning | 08:18 |
| wols_ | Elite: it can work, but it would be bad as a VM. overhead | 08:18 |
| chubs | morning | 08:18 |
| carlosb | what does -rf do, chubs? | 08:18 |
| omgitsashark | hey all... windows mobile 6.1 on ubuntu how do i make it happen | 08:18 |
| Elite | wols_ what do you mean overhead? | 08:19 |
| shabda | seb90210: what command I can use to find the exact name? apt-get find flash? | 08:19 |
| adam7 | carlosb: the -rf removes recursivly and forces removal | 08:19 |
| Elite | carlosb: it means remove folder | 08:19 |
| wols_ | Elite: higher ping for example. but it depends what host and what client you use, and what VM solution | 08:19 |
| Kohlrak | Elite: meaning VMs are slow, and therefore it would be slow | 08:19 |
| chubs | carlosb: -r is recursive (deletes all files under the directory) f is force | 08:19 |
| Elite | Ah ok got it | 08:19 |
| seb90210 | the package manager (gui) one should do it, search for flash | 08:19 |
| carlosb | neawesome, thanks everyoe | 08:19 |
| wols_ | Elite: to make a router like you want, all you need is ipmasq and dnsmasq. and a PC with 2 network cards at least. or more | 08:20 |
| carlosb | and by that i really meant: awesome, thanks everyone | 08:20 |
| gaurav__ | Could not open the file /home/gaurav/Desktop/hxp…-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding. ???????? can any one help me about this error i em trying to install but it is having this error | 08:20 |

| Elite | wols I have a switch so I only need on | 08:20 |
| seb90210 | i really dont remember off the top but anything flash related hmm how about sudo apt-get install flash* | 08:20 |
| wols_ | gaurav__: what is this? | 08:20 |
| adam7 | gaurav__: what are you trying to install? | 08:20 |
| wols_ | Elite: no. for a router you will need 2 NICs | 08:20 |
| Elite | wols why? | 08:21 |
| gaurav__ | i am trying to install helix player | 08:21 |
| gaurav__ | but couldn't | 08:21 |
| wols_ | Elite: cause you need to route packets from one network to the other | 08:21 |
| ikonia | gaurav__: helix-player is in the repo's | 08:21 |
| Elite | but then wouldn't a switch do that over one card? | 08:21 |
| wols_ | gaurav__: "sudo sh" and then this long .bin filename | 08:21 |
| adam7 | gaurav__: you can just run sudo apt-get install helix-player | 08:22 |
| wols_ | Elite: no. there are ways but they re ugly, very ugly | 08:22 |
| Elite | wols what do you mean ugly? | 08:22 |
| wols_ | ugly, as in "don't to it when nics are so cheap" | 08:22 |
| nomopofomo | what's the best ftp server at the moment? vsftpd? | 08:22 |

| R-Gun-Rivale | Hi. I tried to install the ms corefonts using a .deb package. Since it tries to download all files separately and I am in a very slow GPRS connection, I canceled it. Now it tries to download the corefonts every time I install any package. Is there any way to stop it? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: I rate it | 08:22 |
| Kohlrak | Elite: it's more trouble than it's worth kinda stuff | 08:22 |
| smee | elite: he means that with linux, your two nics you can do it cheaper and with far more possibilties | 08:23 |
| wols_ | Elite: it won't work. the end. either use 2 NICs or you are on your own | 08:23 |
| === mjponce is now known as kenami | ||
| Elite | wols okay I will find another nic someplace | 08:23 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, what do you mean? | 08:23 |

| s3a | wols_: Kohlrak: thx anyway ill just reinstall | 08:23 |
| wols_ | nomopofomo: depends a bit what you want to do | 08:23 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: I rate vsftpd | 08:23 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, what do you mean rate? wols_ well, i just want to send some files between my computers and i thought setting up an ftp would be faster than figuring out how to get samba working | 08:24 |
| wols_ | ikonia: depends how complicated the ftp setup is, for basic ftpd, vsftpd, yes | 08:24 |
| gaurav__ | wols dear can u help me out i am having a problem regarding the firefox flash plugin i have installed all gnash , shockwave , flash player but still can't able to view the youtube videos as well as any flash player file which are in format of >SWF | 08:24 |

| ikonia | nomopofomo: I rate it as in "I think it is a good ftp server as far as ftp servers go" | 08:24 |
| FrozenFire | Is there a way to create a standard Ubuntu installation on a disk, while still running Windows? I've seen Wubi, but I'm looking to create bootable installs on separate disks, that can be tossed into a client's computer. | 08:24 |

| FrozenFire | The-Compiler: Nope. | 08:25 |
| ikonia | Elite: not in here please | 08:25 |
| seb90210 | jassim thats a misconfigured bootloader, download a supergrub disc and it will give you menus | 08:25 |
| FrozenFire | The-Compiler: But I'd like to meet my doppleganger XD | 08:25 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, i need to download multiple files but i thought you can only get one file at a time | 08:25 |
| gaurav__ | wols_ i am having the same prob again | 08:25 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: no | 08:26 |
| ikonia | gaurav__: use the package in the repo | 08:26 |

| Crooper | what would i have to install or modify to get my sound to work correctly? | 08:28 |
| nomopofomo | i would probably have to write a script or something | 08:28 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: scp -r user@host:/dir . | 08:28 |
| Kira | hmm, does xorg.conf have an option to enable side-to-side scrolling (like certain MS and Logitech mice allow you to)? | 08:28 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, -r is recursive? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: correct | 08:28 |
| Crooper | i have sound... but not controlled | 08:28 |
| mattycoze | ikonia it's at the right resolution but no hardware is happening; and i can't get stuff like eyecandy to work properly | 08:28 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, so it will download all files and directories in the current directory? | 08:29 |
| mattycoze | *hardware acceleration | 08:29 |
| ikonia | gaurav__: gnash is not very advanced, so I wouldn't use tht if you want advanved flash stuff it won't work | 08:29 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: correct | 08:29 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, thank you :) | 08:29 |

| Guest73893 | Yup | 08:35 |
| Kohlrak | chubs: pings (ICMP Echo requests) require more CPU usage than no one pinging, i'm guessing a routine av scan (though redundent) or a sad attempt at a DOS attack. Pinging can't help. If anything, leaving alone would be best. | 08:35 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: I explained to you the other day - use the version in the repo | 08:35 |
| wols_ | Guest73893: one way is to install the missing libldap library | 08:35 |

| Guest73893 | repo from the Package manager is the old version .. | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: so ? | 08:36 |
| wols_ | kies17: reinstall your kernel | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: whats the problem with it | 08:36 |
| Guest73893 | So I need to upgrade to a new version that is stable | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: the version in the repo is stable | 08:36 |
| chubs | Kohlrak: he asked for everyone to use sudo apt-get update to see if it was slow, which would only make it slower | 08:36 |
| seb90210 | it is most likely the boot device is not set from that disk | 08:36 |
| Guest73893 | So the problem need to install the library? | 08:36 |
| kies17 | ikonia: kernel removed from synaptic | 08:36 |

| ikonia | Guest73893: your using a package thats nothing to do with ubuntu - or dependencies that are nothing to do wth ubuntu | 08:38 |

| Guest73893 | Yes, they support but they reply/ respon really slow | 08:38 |
| seb90210 | would be easier to have the machine in front...hmm your grub is installed in several locations, the hdd, the usb, which one is set to boot i dont know, which partition it's trying to boot i dunno either | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: thats not ubuntu's issue | 08:39 |
| Kernel | hello all. how can i keep track of when a new kernel is released..or major updates like that? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: if they respond slow, that is an issue with their product | 08:39 |
| Kernel | and is it normal for security.ubuntu.com to be so damn slow when upgrading? | 08:39 |
| Kernel | it keeps timing out on me | 08:39 |
| jassim | seb90210 : its trying to boot flash memory | 08:39 |
| kies17 | ikonia: get boot to ubuntu | 08:39 |
| jassim | i want it boot the hd | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Kernel: it will alert you when there is a new kernel available | 08:39 |
| amal029 | kies17: If you cannot boot do this.. take a live ubuntu CD.. put it in mount the root partition then type chroot /that mount point. Then install the kernel | 08:39 |
| kies17 | ikonia: cant boot to ubuntu | 08:39 |
| ikonia | kies17: do you have no working kernel on you system | 08:39 |
| Guest73893 | May I know Is this problem can be solved? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: contact hylafax support | 08:40 |
| Kernel | ikonia: i know it will. but im more interested in knowing why there is a kernel update? | 08:40 |
| wols_ | Guest73893: ask hylafax people. their software | 08:40 |
| kies17 | amal029 : got try it | 08:40 |
| Guest73893 | HylaFAX:/usr/sbin/faxq: error while loading shared libraries: libldap_r.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 08:40 |
| Kernel | was there a new vuln found? | 08:40 |
| Kernel | stuff like that | 08:40 |
| kies17 | ikonia: no | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Kernel: then read the "description" in the update | 08:40 |
| Kernel | most distros have a list availible | 08:40 |
| ikonia | kies17: then your best real option is to reboot | 08:40 |
| wols_ | Kernel: kernel changelogs don't tell that anymore | 08:40 |
| Kohlrak | Guest73893: smells kinda fishy. | 08:40 |
| RobNyc | !et | 08:40 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: contact hylafax support please | 08:40 |
| seb90210 | try the different options in the supergrub cd, ok ok the flash usb stick...does the flash usb stick in the /boot/grub/menu.lst point back to your hdd install...see...you can bounce back and forth indefinately | 08:40 |
| Kernel | and ubuntu needs to up there servers lol...i cant even update my kernel because the server is being hit so hard. | 08:41 |
| Guest73893 | May i know how can I get fast response? | 08:41 |
| Guest73893 | Beside email? | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: contact hylafax support | 08:41 |
| Kernel | it keeps timing out...or dling at like 10kb/s | 08:41 |
| Vialas | hi everyone | 08:41 |
| Kohlrak | Guest73893: nope... we have no control over anyone except ourselves. | 08:41 |
| Guest73893 | ikonia: Do you mean Called them by phone? | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: I don't know - however you want | 08:41 |
| smokewon | Hey there ive accidently run chmod -R 700 on my home directory(dont ask me why) now i cant change directory within my own home folder | 08:42 |
| Kohlrak | Kernel: Maybe there's a bandwidth attack on it.... Usually when this kinda stuff happens you might wanna switch to a more localized server and switch back later. | 08:42 |
| smokewon | chmod -R smokewon 700 on my home directory i mean | 08:42 |
| chubs | Guest73893: contacting them might be your best option. but it looks like you're just missing some libraries, try asking in a normal #linux channel, maybe in your native language | 08:42 |
| ikonia | smokewon: sudo chown -R $username:$group on your home dir | 08:42 |
| wols_ | smokewon: chmod files 640 and directories 750 | 08:42 |
| ikonia | smokewon: thats not an active command | 08:42 |
| smokewon | oh | 08:42 |
| Kohlrak | Kernel: I hope to god though that it's not another un (or barely) tested kernel update like last time | 08:43 |
| smokewon | ok thanks ill try that now | 08:43 |
| ikonia | smokewon: sudo chmod -R 750 /$your/Home | 08:43 |
| Kernel | Kohlrak: we can only hope lol | 08:43 |
| kies17 | ikonia: done reboot. no boot menu or anything | 08:43 |
| Kohlrak | Kernel: if it's another unstable kernel update i'm gonna friggan switch packages. That hardy heron problems overflow into this room was rediculous. | 08:43 |
| smokewon | cool thanks for that guys it worked, but now all files are executable :S | 08:44 |
| ikonia | kies17: sorry, I meant "re-install" apologies | 08:44 |
| qweqweqwe | hi, trying to add a network printer and my ubuntu client is asking "password required for <user> on localhost" but it's not taking my local password, remote password or remote samba password - what's going on? | 08:44 |
| kriebel | smokewon, you're going to want to use find to get just directories 755 or 750 and refular files 640 or 644 | 08:44 |
| smokewon | i cant change directorys now thats fixed | 08:44 |
| smokewon | ah ok | 08:44 |
| Kernel | im updating the kernel on my ubuntu server now....ive had no issues with using the ubuntu server so far. | 08:44 |
| smokewon | cool ill do that | 08:44 |
| Kernel | will wait to update the kernel on my desktop untill tomrrow | 08:44 |
| === C3348875 is now known as chalcedony | ||
| Guest73893 | DO you all know what is the library? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | Kernel: is there a point to your comment ? | 08:44 |
| kriebel | chmod and chown have nothing to do with eachother | 08:44 |
| === lemming_ is now known as lemming | ||
| Kohlrak | Kernel: unless there's a security update, never update your server if it works XD | 08:44 |
| ikonia | Guest73893: last time - please contact hylafax support | 08:44 |
| smokewon | hmm how can i grep folders from find? | 08:45 |
| plantain | where is apt-get and sudo located? (which directories?) | 08:45 |
| amal029 | qweqweqwe: add yourself to cups group | 08:45 |
| Kernel | ikonia: is there a point to say is there a point? | 08:45 |
| smokewon | find | grep '/'? | 08:45 |
| qweqweqwe | amal029, ah | 08:45 |
| kriebel | smokewon, there's an arg for type of file | 08:45 |
| kies17 | ikonia : no problem. Duh, hate to reinstall my system | 08:45 |
| Kohlrak | Guest73893: native language? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | Kernel: yes, I'm asking to is there a point to what your saying, eg: do you have a problem or are you just talking | 08:45 |
| smokewon | ah ok | 08:45 |
| mattycoze | wols still there? | 08:45 |
| Kernel | ikonia: yes i do. unbuntus security repos is stupidly slow | 08:45 |
| chubs | Guest73893: what language do you speak? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | Kernel: you've said so - twice, saying it again and again won't make it quicker | 08:45 |
| Kernel | and it resolves to only one ip.... | 08:45 |
| wols_ | mattycoze: sure. but I dunno why it wouldn't use nvidia's glx | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Kernel: that IP should be a load balacned IP with 3 servers at least | 08:46 |
| Kernel | security.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.37 | 08:46 |
| Kernel | one ip | 08:46 |
| amal029 | I keep my own mirrors makes life easy | 08:46 |
| wols_ | Kernel: if you don't like the speed of it, donate a server | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Kernel: yes a load balacned IP | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Kernel: one IP does not = one server | 08:46 |
| Kernel | wols_: give me money and ill hapily buy and donate one. | 08:46 |
| Kohlrak | Kernel: switch the server in synaptic... it's near the repos controls | 08:46 |
| nomopofomo | ikonia, how can i send a file to the computer running the ssh server? i can't? | 08:47 |
| Kernel | Kohlrak: there is more then one security server? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: sure, just reverse the command | 08:47 |
| jassim | seb90210: what i should do with the HD ( should i install Xp then format and install ubuntu ? to make hd mount ? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | nomopofomo: scp file user@target:/dir | 08:47 |
| Guest73893 | Thank everyone | 08:47 |
| wols_ | Kernel: security.ubuntu.org costs money to run, if you don't help running it in any way it's a gift horse. appreciate it like that | 08:47 |
| amal029 | nomopofomo: sftp | 08:47 |
| Guest73893 | Here is the best chat room | 08:47 |
| Kohlrak | Kernel: if you're doing this through some sort of package manager thing, surely there's more than once source server, however some are less updated and some are more updated | 08:47 |
| ftornell | lol | 08:47 |
| seb90210 | jassim so in essence youre bouncing 3 versions of grub between one anther the hdd, the usb, the crdom, you can tell each what to do exacly by passing several parameters but then you have to know several things | 08:47 |
| Guest73893 | WINDOW don't have such chat room | 08:47 |
| smokewon | damn find -h is a bit too complex for me, how does one pass the argument to 'find' to find just files? | 08:48 |
| lemming | Hi people! | 08:48 |
| smokewon | and not directorys i mean, sorry | 08:48 |
| Kohlrak | Chat room alot easier if in one's own language =p | 08:48 |
| chubs | Hi lemming! | 08:48 |
| rlc | Hello | 08:48 |
| Kernel | wols_: i know...im well aware how oss software works....i donate when i can. but obviously saying "well dont complain or donate a new server" is counter productive. | 08:48 |
| ogre | I have a fresh ubuntu install and a built in webcam on a toshiba a205 system. I was wondering if there were any packages needed to get it up and runnung | 08:48 |
| R-Gun-Rivale | How can I stop a troublesome package from trying to install itself when I try to install another package? Anyone knows? | 08:48 |
| rlc | fun | 08:48 |
| Oli`` | smokewon: find . --name "nameregex" | 08:49 |
| wols_ | Kernel: your whineing is VERY unproductive and even more OT. so please stop | 08:49 |
| Kernel | if i had a server i would be happy to donate b/w and disk space...but i am a poor college student. | 08:49 |
| Kohlrak | ogre: try it. if it works then no. if it doesn't then yes | 08:49 |
| Oli`` | smokewon: the . is the path (meaning "this dir") | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Kernel: ok - you've said now about 4 times, please stop | 08:49 |
| ogre | Kohlrak, what do i try it with? | 08:49 |
| seb90210 | dont install xp if it's already installed....sheesh this can get real complex then but certainly not beyond fixable | 08:49 |
| bullgard4 | Synaptic doen't find 'Screen Zoom'. Does Ubuntu ofer similar programs having another name? | 08:49 |
| qweqweqwe | amal029, i don't have a cups group on the ubuntu client | 08:49 |
| wols_ | !webcam | ogre | 08:49 |
| ubottu | ogre: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 08:49 |
| Kohlrak | ogre: good question. Just try it with whatever program you plan on using it with | 08:49 |
| Kernel | lol | 08:50 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: what is the name of the packge you want | 08:50 |
| lemming | I found a bug in casper (or I think that is a bug...) | 08:50 |
| smokewon | Oli`` ah ok, im just trying to find all files and nothing thats a directory in my home folder, so i would run 'find . --name 'nameregex' | 08:50 |
| Kohlrak | lemming: filed a bug report? | 08:50 |
| wols_ | ikonia: he doesn't know. he wants a package to shows him part of the screen magnifiee | 08:50 |
| wols_ | *magnified | 08:50 |
| smokewon | or is there something else that should go into that nameregex part? | 08:50 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: isn't there a compiz option for a magnifying section of the screen | 08:50 |
| adam7 | bullgard4, wols_: compiz fusion can magnify part of the screen | 08:51 |
| Kohlrak | wols_ isn't that an extra option of orca? | 08:51 |
| thesoffish | is it possible to include a fortune-cookie-type script in Grub that displays a random fortune in the bootloader menu? | 08:51 |
| smokewon | find: invalid predicate `--name' <== ? | 08:51 |
| chubs | Oli``: I think he's searching for a solution not involving regular expressions | 08:51 |
| Kernel | so ubuntu doesnt keep a changelog of anysorts online? | 08:51 |
| lemming | Kohlrak, i tell you before report it. I don't found any info in the bug tracker. | 08:51 |
| Ckataklysm | hey can someone tell me athe diff between ubuntu and kubuntu? | 08:51 |
| ikonia | Kernel: each package description has a change log | 08:51 |
| smokewon | sorry i dont even know what 'regular expressions are | 08:51 |
| adam7 | Ckataklysm: ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde | 08:51 |
| Oli`` | smokewon: my bad, it's only one - on -name. If you want a list of ALL files, leave off the -name argument. And by nameregex, I meant a pattern that matches the name | 08:51 |
| ikonia | Ckataklysm: desktop, one is gnome one is kde | 08:51 |
| Kohlrak | lemming; probably best to make the report first if you're sure it's a bug and not a problem wiht your setup interacting with it | 08:52 |
| Kernel | ikonia: and there is no compiled db on a website with them all? | 08:52 |
| Ckataklysm | hmm.. ok so is there any difference in funcionality? | 08:52 |
| wols_ | Oli``: he wants files but not directories | 08:52 |
| Kernel | ikonia: or how can i check the description from the cli? | 08:52 |
| smokewon | ya pretty much | 08:52 |
| gregge | is the next ubuntu out in october? | 08:52 |
| smokewon | all files but not directorys in my home folder | 08:52 |
| adam7 | gregge: should be, yes. | 08:52 |
| wols_ | Kernel: apt-cache show | 08:52 |
| chubs | gregge: that's the schedule | 08:52 |
| kies17 | amal029: how to install the kernel? what should i type? | 08:52 |
| Oli`` | smokewon: stuff in a -type d argument too | 08:52 |
| Kernel | ok thanks wols_ | 08:52 |
| smokewon | i have to change the permissions again, cause i dont chmod 700 on my home dir by accident, and its made all normal files executable | 08:52 |
| Kohlrak | gregge: that's what wikipedia says.. and i hope it isn't, as i havn't seen a beta up yet... they did this with hardy and look what happened. | 08:52 |
| gregge | thank guys! | 08:52 |
| smokewon | *done | 08:52 |
| ikonia | smokewon: does it matte ? | 08:53 |
| smokewon | im not sure, would it? | 08:53 |
| kriebel | smokewon, find . -t f finds files | 08:53 |
| H__ | Ckataklysm yes, you can actually install both and choose which one to use during startup | 08:53 |
| Vialas | hi everyone | 08:53 |
| ikonia | smokewon: if they are not executable - no | 08:53 |
| smokewon | jsut looks weird now cause before all the files looked white in bash, but now there all green | 08:53 |
| Kohlrak | Vialas: ask the question, not greet | 08:53 |
| lemming | Kohlrak, i'm not sure that is a bug or a "user that don't have any idea" xD | 08:53 |
| kriebel | smokewon, find . -t d finds directories | 08:53 |
| kriebel | iirc | 08:53 |
| Kohlrak | lemming: well, tell us what's wrong | 08:53 |
| smokewon | ah ok thanks | 08:53 |
| lemming | ok | 08:53 |
| seb90210 | jassim if you can look in the /boot/grub/menu.lst on your hdd (use knoppix or some other live cd) see or write down what it says, then you can boot any grub and input that ..to any grub to boot your hdd (including windows) but it's beyond the scope of a irc chat a little | 08:53 |
| amal029 | kies17: check if you have kernel in /boot | 08:53 |
| Oli`` | whoops - I ream wols_'s message the wrong way around =( | 08:53 |
| lemming | I'm working in a localized build of ubuntu live cd | 08:54 |
| adam7 | smokewon: find . -name "*partoffilename*" will find all files that have "partoffilename" in them | 08:54 |
| gregge | Kohlrak: Ok.. I certainly have to agree hardy isn't stable enough.. Are there usually betas before? | 08:54 |
| Vialas | hi everyone | 08:54 |
| kriebel | adam7, he's trying to recover from a chmod -r 700 of his home dir | 08:54 |
| chubs | what's so unstable about hardy at this point? | 08:54 |
| smokewon | ya its ok, im looking for everything thats a file, not a particular file but ALL files, but not directorys at the same time lol | 08:54 |
| Kohlrak | gregge: there was a beta of hardy, but they released it on schedual instead of holding it off to make sure it's stable enough first. | 08:54 |
| smokewon | find . -type d works, i think | 08:54 |
| lemming | And in /etc/casper.conf change some values as USERNAME or HOST | 08:54 |
| seb90210 | jassim so in essence booting from cdrom the supergrub disc should pick up windows or ntfs and boot to that anyways | 08:55 |
| Kohlrak | chubs: nothing now, but they should've waited a little more | 08:55 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: I will not use compiz fusion. If there are no other screen zoom programs available in Ubuntu, I will use none. | 08:55 |
| kies17 | amal029: only grub in /boot | 08:55 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: none it is then | 08:55 |
| chubs | agreed, but gregge was making it sound like it still was | 08:55 |
| smokewon | im about to chmod 750 everything that find . -type d has found, i hope this works :S | 08:55 |
| smokewon | nervous | 08:55 |
| Kernel | hmm wols_ apt-cache show doesnt show my why there was this update?.. iwanna know why they pushed a new kernel on us....security?...bug fixes?....both?... | 08:55 |
| kriebel | smokewon, then there's an execute command argument you can give, where you can tell find to run chmod on each return | 08:55 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: xzoom | 08:55 |
| kriebel | or you can hurt your head learning xargs | 08:55 |
| Kohlrak | chubs: still many problems with hardy upgrade though. many people too shy to enter the irc. | 08:55 |
| lemming | But when i remake the CD and boot it again the USERNAME and HOST are the default values | 08:55 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: use the package manager to search for zoom / magnify | 08:55 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it's a keyword search | 08:55 |
| wols_ | Kernel: considering not even the kernel devs will tell you... | 08:55 |
| smokewon | if i made an accident from this command(s) will i be able to recover it? | 08:56 |
| sekyourbox | shoot whats up with the ubuntu update server? | 08:56 |
| Kernel | wols_: lol? or u serious? | 08:56 |
| gregge | chubs: Should be noted i bought a new laptop that hates linux, maybe that has affected my opinion | 08:56 |
| wols_ | Kernel: yes | 08:56 |
| kriebel | smokewon, you can't do worse than what you have now | 08:56 |
| chubs | gregge: what flavor? | 08:56 |
| Kohlrak | sekyourbox: either a big update, routine maitenance, or a badly done dos | 08:56 |
| Kernel | wols_: why the heck wont they say? | 08:56 |
| kriebel | smokewon, but you should practice on a folder of empty files perhaps | 08:56 |
| adam7 | smokewon: if you screw up that command, chmod -R 700 ~ will put you back where you are now | 08:56 |
| amal029 | kies17: install kernel from repo.. using apt-get install Kernel name | 08:56 |
| smokewon | im about to type this and run it in bash: "find . -type d | chmod 750" will that make all direcorys in my home folder 750 permissions? | 08:57 |
| Kernel | seems retarded to me....oh hey..lets do this and that and tell no one! | 08:57 |
| sekyourbox | 82% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37)] | 08:57 |
| gregge | chubs: HP dv6800. No support at all for linux. Hardly any for XP even. | 08:57 |
| null_byte | hi..how can i reset the keyring password on ubuntu 8.04? | 08:57 |
| wols_ | smokewon: look at -exec | 08:57 |
| kies17 | amal029: is it OK to use dapper live cd but my system is hardy? | 08:57 |
| smokewon | or would it be "find . -type d && chmod 750" | 08:57 |
| sekyourbox | stuck at 82, but now its good? | 08:57 |
| wols_ | smokewon: neither | 08:57 |
| Jordan_U | smokewon: Neither | 08:57 |
| smokewon | wols_ sorry wheres "-exec"? | 08:57 |
| R-Gun-Rivale | Uh, so can anyone please help me? | 08:57 |
| amal029 | you can change the repo in /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:57 |
| chubs | gregge: like wireless/touchpad unsupported or is it worse? | 08:57 |
| wols_ | smokewon: man find | 08:58 |
| adam7 | smokewon: you need -exec or xargs | 08:58 |
| null_byte | sekyourbox: i also stuck before, just some minutes ago | 08:58 |
| smokewon | wtf | 08:58 |
| Kartagis | when I send an e-mail, it can't copy to Sent folder. I just looked and saw that there is a folder named Giden instead of Sent. can I just rename the folder? | 08:58 |
| ikonia | smokewon: please don't use phrases like wtf | 08:58 |
| thesoffish | sekyourbox, that happened to me earlier, but it was working when i tried a second time.. | 08:58 |
| smokewon | ok, so how do i chmod 750 all results from "find . -type d" | 08:58 |
| smokewon | sorry | 08:58 |
| sekyourbox | now stuck at Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates Release.gpg | 08:58 |
| null_byte | thesoffish: me too | 08:58 |
| lemming | and that is all | 08:58 |
| sekyourbox | 2nd time | 08:58 |
| ikonia | smokewon: what's the issue with just sudo chmod -R 750 . ? | 08:58 |
| smokewon | would that make all my folders 750 in my home dir? | 08:59 |
| Kernel | and this is exactly what i was looking for http://www.ubuntu.com/usn | 08:59 |
| adam7 | smokewon: I'm thinking find . -type d -exec chmod 750 | 08:59 |
| kriebel | ikonia, dircolors etc. think every text file is executable | 08:59 |
| smokewon | and keep my files normal? | 08:59 |
| Kernel | tells ya whats up | 08:59 |
| Kernel | http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-637-1 | 08:59 |
| smokewon | adam7 ah ok thanks | 08:59 |
| Kernel | there the new kernel info ^^ | 08:59 |
| Kartagis | smokewon, find . -type d -print0|xargs -0 chmod 750 | 08:59 |
| sekyourbox | is their a way to auto update on startup without chron? | 08:59 |
| ikonia | Kernel: so ? | 08:59 |
| ikonia | smokewon: yes? | 08:59 |
| sekyourbox | cron* | 08:59 |
| smokewon | Kartagis whoa, i would never had figured that one out lol | 08:59 |
| ikonia | smokewon: your umask is set to create files 700 - so ever file you create should/will be 700 | 09:00 |
| Kohlrak | sekyourbox: the update servers seem to be a bit agitated right now | 09:00 |
| gregge | chubs: No, but the "mediacenter"-stuff doesn't and the mic won't work for people, and for some reason it seems way too slow, which it doesn't in XP... Is probably possible to fix, but I'm not sure what to do anymore! | 09:00 |
| Kartagis | smash__, it took me a while to memorize it :D | 09:00 |
| smokewon | find . -type d -print0|xargs -0 chmod 750 didnt do anything :S | 09:00 |
| Kernel | ikonia: why so hostile? god...all i was doing was showing that what i wanted did exist..and showed in here. | 09:00 |
| sekyourbox | anyone use irssi here? | 09:00 |
| Kernel | figured others might find it usefull | 09:00 |
| smokewon | sorry im asking the wrong question i think | 09:00 |
| adam7 | sekyourbox: yeah | 09:01 |
| ikonia | Kernel: I didn't mean it to you, sorry autocomplete went wrong | 09:01 |
| Kartagis | smokewon, that has always worked for me | 09:01 |
| thesoffish | sekyourbox, i am on irssi | 09:01 |
| Jordan_U | sekyourbox: Just ask your question | 09:01 |
| sekyourbox | how do you open multiple windows in here? | 09:01 |
| Kernel | ikonia: oh. ok. =) | 09:01 |
| chubs | gregge: there's something odd going on if it's slower in linux than in windows, or do you mean for things like games and video? | 09:01 |
| adam7 | sekyourbox: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit | 09:01 |
| smokewon | i want to make all files that were not execuatable before unexcutable again(because i made all normal files executable earlier on by doing chmod -R 700 on my home dir) | 09:01 |
| smokewon | confusing i know lol | 09:01 |
| CeWe_iMoeT | hiiiii | 09:02 |
| ikonia | smokewon: not confusing, just a bit pointless | 09:02 |
| adam7 | smokewon: there is no way to tell which ones were executable before | 09:02 |
| chubs | smokewon: so 644 them? | 09:02 |
| smokewon | oh lol | 09:02 |
| Kernel | weird....installed the new kernel...did shutdown -r now...and its not shutting down | 09:02 |
| wols_ | chubs 640 | 09:02 |
| Kernel | im still sshed into it.... | 09:02 |
| smokewon | find -type f -print0|xargs -0 chmod 644 | 09:02 |
| smokewon | ? | 09:02 |
| chubs | wols_: it's his home directory, matter of preference | 09:02 |
| adam7 | smokewon: best bet is to chmod -R 640 ~ and then make the ones that need to be executable executable | 09:02 |
| ikonia | smokewon: no | 09:02 |
| smokewon | ah ok, would chmod -R 640 change the directorys again? | 09:03 |
| smokewon | i dont want that if so, my dirs are fine now, just need to change files perm's again lol | 09:03 |
| gregge | chubs: Browsing heavier webpages can be really slow. Games are OK actually. This is how it worked with a fresh install, and I haven't come around to fix much | 09:03 |
| ikonia | smokewon: open nautlis and change the permissions with the gui | 09:03 |
| sekyourbox | test | 09:03 |
| smokewon | ah ok | 09:03 |
| smokewon | ya but that would take ages :S | 09:03 |
| smokewon | i have many folders in my home dir | 09:03 |
| smokewon | and files :S | 09:04 |
| sekyourbox | test2 | 09:04 |
| adam7 | sekyourbox: hi. | 09:04 |
| ArcInversion | gregge: probably something wrong with firefox then and not linux. | 09:04 |
| chubs | smokewon: check out this website, http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html it has a nice little app to tell you what chmod args you should use | 09:04 |
| ikonia | smokewon: then leave it alone, it doesn't matter if files are execuatable | 09:04 |
| chubs | scroll down a bit | 09:04 |
| smokewon | ok, thanks for the info then guys, and thanks for that link too chubs, ill read up on it now | 09:04 |
| Kernel | any ideas to get this to reboot?. | 09:04 |
| Kernel | reboot,shutdown -r all are not working | 09:05 |
| chubs | sudo su reboot | 09:05 |
| gregge | chubs: lots of people complain about HP though. I just didn't think there'd be any particular issues so I didn't hesitate on buying what seemed like a nice laptop. | 09:05 |
| ArcInversion | Kernel: turn your computer off and on? :) | 09:05 |
| ericboehs | How do I get the "expose" feature in 8.04? | 09:05 |
| seb90210 | whatabout shutdown now | 09:05 |
| Kernel | seb90210: nothing. | 09:05 |
| gregge | ArcInversion: No, it's something wrong with HP :) | 09:05 |
| DIFH-iceroot | how can i list all modules which are loaded in the kernel (and can be blacklist with /etc/modprobe/blacklist) | 09:05 |
| Kernel | its just sittting there | 09:05 |
| adam7 | Kernel: is this the one your ssh'ed into? | 09:05 |
| adam7 | DIFH-iceroot: lsmod, I think | 09:06 |
| Oli`` | ericboehs: in short: enable desktop effects and push your mouse to the top-right corner of the screen | 09:06 |
| chubs | gregge: well it's odd if browsing heavier webpages is slower in linux, because that would somehow mean ram is being used inefficiently | 09:06 |
| Kernel | adam7: yea. its my server. i just did a kernel update to it...need to reboot to new kernel | 09:06 |
| DIFH-iceroot | adam7: thx a lot, looks good | 09:06 |
| R-Gun-Rivale | Well, last try. I tried to install the MS corefont package from a .deb archive. But it tries to download some files that are too large to my connection type and I canceled, now it tries to install every time I install a package. Is there any way to stop it doing that? Please reply... | 09:06 |
| seb90210 | like sis chipsets, lots of distros could not pass shutdown to them | 09:06 |
| chubs | gregge: how much ram does your laptop have? | 09:06 |
| Kernel | it does the normal...shutting down now.....but just does nothing | 09:06 |
| ericboehs | Oli``: How do you change which corner it uses? | 09:06 |
| Kernel | all process seem to be running still | 09:06 |
| gregge | chubs: 2GB | 09:06 |
| ikonia | Kernel: give it a few minutes | 09:06 |
| ericboehs | Oli``: I have Desktop effects enabled and the top right doesn't seem to do it | 09:06 |
| adam7 | chubs, gregge: what video card does this slow laptop have? | 09:07 |
| ikonia | Kernel: it may still be applying updates, tidying up, writing logs, syncing file systems etc | 09:07 |
| crdlb | ericboehs: press Shift+Alt+Up | 09:07 |
| gregge | adam7: geforce 8400 gs 256mb | 09:07 |
| chubs | gregge: are you using desktop effects? | 09:07 |
| seb90210 | it did not know how to shutdown (no linux) on a sis661 chipset | 09:07 |
| Kernel | ikonia: hmm..ive never had shutdown -r now take more then a min to do everything | 09:07 |
| gregge | chubs: no | 09:07 |
| crdlb | ericboehs: that's the only default binding for it; to change it, you need ccsm | 09:07 |
| Oli`` | ericboehs: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 09:07 |
| R-Gun-Rivale | I am not sure, does anyone read me? Do I need some voice flag or something? | 09:07 |
| Ckataklysm | whats the best file system to use for l;inux? ext2 or ext 3? | 09:07 |
| Kernel | ikonia: and even then...it start to end all processes | 09:08 |
| chubs | adam7: he said games worked fine, games work fine right gregge? (so your driver is enabled | 09:08 |
| ericboehs | Oli``: thx | 09:08 |
| seb90210 | but the reboot command would work strangely enough | 09:08 |
| Kohlrak | Ckataklysm: ext3 since it's a later version i would assume | 09:08 |
| Oli`` | ericboehs: then you can run "ccsm" to change and configure all the various settings (and enable it!) | 09:08 |
| Kernel | and its been....7 mins | 09:08 |
| Ckataklysm | thats what my reasoning was. xD | 09:08 |
| gregge | chubs: Games work ALMOST as well as in XP | 09:08 |
| adam7 | chubs: reason I was asking is because the ATI drivers have been known to slow down Firefox's scrolling | 09:08 |
| chubs | ext3 is just the journaling version of ext2 | 09:08 |
| Kernel | i 1st issues the shutdown command at 4:01am...its not 4:09am | 09:08 |
| ericboehs | Oli``: Wahoo.. that's what I was looking for... thanks again and also to crdlb | 09:08 |
| Kernel | *now | 09:09 |
| chubs | adam7: interesting, i did not know that | 09:09 |
| Ckataklysm | what does journaling do? | 09:09 |
| smokewon | adam7 sorry, jsut wondering if you could please point me in the direction of some material about that -xargs option? im not sure what it relates to specifically and would like to learn a bit more about it | 09:09 |
| Kohlrak | ext3 is much better than ext2 then | 09:09 |
| amal029 | ps aux | grep shutdown it is even running? | 09:09 |
| gregge | adam7: it has? What drivers should I try instead? | 09:09 |
| sekyourbox | how do you get a shor chan list in irssi? | 09:09 |
| chubs | Ckataklysm: helps your drive recover files | 09:09 |
| Kohlrak | Ckataklysm: prevents fragmentation and protects from corruption during poweroutages | 09:09 |
| Ckataklysm | ok cool | 09:09 |
| adam7 | smokewon: there is always the man page but that can be kinda dense sometimes | 09:09 |
| * Ckataklysm is a serious linux noob. | 09:09 | |
| chubs | gregge: you're using nvidia, not ati, so no worries | 09:09 |
| smokewon | yeah i found that man pages are a bit hard to comprehend most of the time for the likes of myself :S | 09:10 |
| Kohlrak | Ckataklysm: so is almost everyone else, that's why we're here. | 09:10 |
| Ckataklysm | hehe cooool | 09:10 |
| Ckataklysm | i don't even know how to install stuff withou tjust using the add/remove | 09:10 |
| gregge | chubs: haha.. I don't know what I was thinking there =) I'm well aware it's Nvidia, probably just tired :) | 09:10 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Ckataklysm: apt-get, aptitude, adept-manager | 09:11 |
| hagabaka | hmm repository is so slow now | 09:11 |
| ArcInversion | Ckataklysm: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager. Check out that for fun. | 09:11 |
| smokewon | i jsut tried "man xarg" and theres no manual btw :S | 09:11 |
| Kohlrak | ckataklsym: don't forget synaptic | 09:11 |
| seb90210 | Chataklysm, there's the Applications button then add/remove | 09:11 |
| Ckataklysm | well thats what i use | 09:11 |
| Kernel | well this is retarded. | 09:12 |
| adam7 | smokewon: I'm not seeing any amazing examples on google for xargs | 09:12 |
| chubs | Ckataklysm: there's ./configure, make, make install (just to round out your options) | 09:12 |
| seb90210 | thats all you need, I thought you were talking about windows | 09:12 |
| smokewon | ah ok then, no bother ill come across it some day | 09:12 |
| adam7 | Kernel: I don't suppose you have physical access to this server? | 09:12 |
| Kernel | imgonna have to get up and rip the cord out of the wall........on the server edition...to get it to reboot. | 09:12 |
| Ckataklysm | but say when i download a program from a website, i don't really know what to do with it | 09:12 |
| Ckataklysm | like how to install it | 09:12 |
| Kernel | adam7: i do..but thats retarded...if this was remote what would i do? | 09:12 |
| sablezahn | hi | 09:12 |
| chubs | Kernel: is reboot giving an error? | 09:12 |
| sekyourbox | !basics | 09:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about basics | 09:12 |
| Ckataklysm | i mean in windows, you just click it, select a directory and away it goes | 09:13 |
| sablezahn | how can I find out what ubuntu I am currently using? | 09:13 |
| bdunlap | for me when i download a tgz i can rarely get it installed, so i always look to find a deb | 09:13 |
| sekyourbox | !linux_basics | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about linux_basics | 09:13 |
| Kernel | chubs: nope...it says the normal things | 09:13 |
| Ckataklysm | ubuntu? not sire | 09:13 |
| sablezahn | which version I mean | 09:13 |
| sekyourbox | !apt-get | 09:13 |
| ubottu | 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) | 09:13 |
| ArcInversion | Don't download programs from websites. 99.99999% of the time you can get it from Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get | 09:13 |
| Kohlrak | Ckataklsym: usualyl chmod +x [name here] then double clicking the file, but i advise against downloading programs anywhere other than synaptic unless you know what you're doing | 09:13 |
| chubs | Kernel: but it just won't physically reboot? is everything else shut down? | 09:13 |
| seb90210 | sabel uname -a | 09:13 |
| Kernel | just "broacast message from blah@blah" | 09:13 |
| sekyourbox | !compile | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 09:13 |
| Kartagis | sablezahn, System|About Ubuntu | 09:13 |
| Ckataklysm | unfrotunately, i have a piece of hardware that isn't really suported by linux. (that i can see) | 09:14 |
| bdunlap | yeah but to install gtk, glib, pango,etc those are ones that need to be compiled because no repo has them | 09:14 |
| Kernel | chubs: nope. user processes still running. | 09:14 |
| Ckataklysm | but i can downlaod the linux drivers form a site, but i have not idea what to do with it | 09:14 |
| Kernel | chubs: ssshd and apache are still running too | 09:14 |
| ArcInversion | Ckataklysm: Major change from moving to Linux... Downloading anything should be done through Linux programs rather then the web | 09:14 |
| chubs | so what do you mean it says the normal things? does it actually do what it claims to? | 09:14 |
| Kernel | chubs: no. | 09:14 |
| chubs | ahh | 09:14 |
| Kernel | chubs: like this: | 09:14 |
| Kernel | Broadcast message from roob@bubbler | 09:14 |
| Kernel | (/dev/pts/1) at 4:10 ... | 09:14 |
| Kernel | The system is going down for reboot NOW! | 09:14 |
| sablezahn | Kartagis ah, ok ;-) | 09:14 |
| Kernel | but then it doesnt to anything | 09:14 |
| gaurav__ | is there any utility and theme for ubuntu | 09:15 |
| chubs | Kernel: did you try sudoing to su? and then trying to reboot | 09:15 |
| ArcInversion | Ckataklysm: What part of your system isn't supported by Linux? And which drivers are you speaking of? | 09:15 |
| Kernel | it just drops me back to a term...like everything is normal | 09:15 |
| adam7 | smokewon: basically xargs takes the names of files output by a command and feeds them to another command. for example, ls | xargs r m (if you remove the space between the r and the m) would delete all files in this directory | 09:15 |
| Kohlrak | kernel: i have my system hang once in a while. I just alt f3 and that somehow works | 09:15 |
| Kernel | chubs: i issues that as root. | 09:15 |
| chubs | Kernel: real root or sudo? | 09:15 |
| Kernel | Kohlrak: over ssh? | 09:15 |
| Ckataklysm | adam7: A line6 PodXt. its a guitar preamp i can hook up to a computer via USB | 09:15 |
| Kohlrak | Kernel: nah, locally. | 09:15 |
| Kernel | chubs: real root and using sudo. i tried both ways | 09:15 |
| smokewon | adam7 ahh ok, thanks for that | 09:15 |
| chubs | hm | 09:15 |
| ndlovu | hi all. I have an ubuntu machine that just switches off for no reason (ie poweroff, not shutdown). What sort of issues would cause this? | 09:16 |
| GreenPeace | Hello, I try to setup my scanner to be avaliable on network with ubuntu howto. | 09:16 |
| GreenPeace | but I get sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found and same for xinetd | 09:16 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: sounds like hardware issues... over heating maybe. can it run windows? | 09:16 |
| GreenPeace | why I have no inetd and xinetd services? | 09:17 |
| elen | Hello! Does anyone know if it is possible to get a mouse to only be on one of my screens? | 09:17 |
| chubs | ndlovu: you should team up with Kernel and your problems would be solved | 09:17 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, I agree that it's probably hardware. maybe it could run windows, but it only has windows | 09:17 |
| adam7 | GreenPeace: are they installed? | 09:17 |
| GreenPeace | adam7: what are packages for them? | 09:17 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, er, only has ubuntu I mean | 09:17 |
| adam7 | GreenPeace: xinetd is package xinetd | 09:17 |
| Ckataklysm | ArcInversion: A line6 PodXt. its a guitar preamp i can hook up to a computer via USB | 09:17 |
| seb90210 | put cheese there and turn off the lights :) | 09:18 |
| Kohlrak | ndlove: try your bootable disk and see if that runs. | 09:18 |
| seb90210 | goodnight or morning... | 09:18 |
| Kernel | lol | 09:18 |
| ArcInversion | Ckataklysm: Give me a sec, I'm trying to find it. | 09:18 |
| Ckataklysm | thanks! | 09:18 |
| GreenPeace | adam7: what is better option to install then, inetd or xinetd? | 09:18 |
| Kernel | well had to freaking hard reboot it...not very cool | 09:18 |
| adam7 | GreenPeace: well xinetd advertises itself as an improved replacement for inetd so... | 09:19 |
| Kernel | im off to bed now. night | 09:19 |
| Kernel | *nite | 09:19 |
| Kohlrak | kernel: it's night | 09:19 |
| GreenPeace | adam7: thank you) | 09:19 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, ubuntu bootable disk or windows? it's actually working fine running ubuntu most of the time. it switches off randomly. | 09:19 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: hm... is it a laptop? | 09:19 |
| Kernel | Kohlrak: yea i know..its almost 430 am...im not thinking too clearly. | 09:19 |
| Kernel | i corrected myself though! ;-) | 09:19 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, nope, desktop functioning as a server | 09:20 |
| bdunlap | ndlovu: i had that problem with mepis (i think), you need to install power-settings um acpi? | 09:20 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: well, how long does it take to do its shutdown thing? | 09:20 |
| ArcInversion | Ckataklysm: Not sure exactly what you're looking for... You're looking for the drivers to hook up your guitar pre-amp via USB to your computer or a program for editing it or...? | 09:21 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, if I shut it down properly, then it's the usual time. but the problem is when it shuts down for no reason, and then it's instant (like a hardware switch) | 09:21 |
| ndlovu | bdunlap, what does power-settings do? | 09:21 |
| Ckataklysm | a driver basically so it recognizes it. when i connect the device, it don't think it actually recognizes it | 09:22 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: what i mean is... you could try running the startup disk for a while and seeing if it still hardware switches off | 09:22 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, ah, you mean to see if it's a software problem rather than a hardware problem? | 09:23 |
| bdunlap | ndlovu, i dont think the package is called power-settings but its settings for your hardware/battery/etc that controls settings like standby, hibernate, things that happen to your computer when it's idle | 09:23 |
| tony_ | is there any way to totally remove an app? do i just use purge? | 09:23 |
| adam7 | tony_: sudo apt-get purge app should do it | 09:23 |
| tony_ | adam7: thanks | 09:23 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: yea, and if it shuts down on the ubuntu disk, there's nothing we can do here except help find out what peice of hardware that is, and asking help for that won't go over well | 09:23 |
| Tankado | what is "i-map login" processor i see in my ubuntu-server ? | 09:23 |
| Tankado | and what is "/usr/sbin/smbd" | 09:24 |
| adam7 | Tankado: /usr/sbin/smbd is samba | 09:24 |
| bdunlap | remember google is your friend | 09:24 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: if it's hardware, either power supply or overheating (bad fan or hot gpu, but i don't know why the gpu'd be hot if it's not in use) | 09:24 |
| adam7 | Tankado: there is a command to figure out which package owns which file, but I don't remember what it is. | 09:24 |
| Vialas | don suppose anyone watns to help an ablolute noob??? | 09:24 |
| adam7 | !ask | Vialas | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Vialas: 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. :-) | 09:25 |
| Tankado | okie thanks | 09:25 |
| tony_ | i tried to purge firefox but i type firefox and it still comes up | 09:25 |
| adam7 | tony_: do you have the firefox-3.0 package installed too? | 09:25 |
| Vialas | that was the question, wondering if anyone has time to be a tutor | 09:25 |
| Kohlrak | tony_ maybe a different package name, try "apt-get purge *firefox*" | 09:25 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, know of any monitoring tools that could help pinpoint the problem? | 09:25 |
| wols_ | a wubi install is doable from the iso without a CD-R needed,r ight? | 09:25 |
| bdunlap | tony_: you still have your .mozilla/firefox folder in home | 09:25 |
| Kohlrak | tony_ * is a wildcard | 09:25 |
| ra21vi | anyone here using eclipse 3.4 | 09:26 |
| wols_ | Tankado: imap-login perhaps? | 09:26 |
| Tankado | yes | 09:26 |
| tony_ | so sudo apt-get purge *firefox should do it? | 09:26 |
| bdunlap | tony_: using purge does not remove settings folders in your home directory | 09:26 |
| ra21vi | Tankado: do you | 09:26 |
| wols_ | ra21vi: install all eclipse dependencies | 09:26 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: yea, but that all depends on your hardware... best thing to do is try the disk for now, and if it goes out again, check if it's hot around the back of hte cpu. if it isn't, it's the power supply. | 09:26 |
| ra21vi | wols_: how can I find that ? | 09:26 |
| Ckataklysm | ArcInversion: i know where the line6 driver is. i already have it downloaded. but i have no clue on how to install it | 09:26 |
| wols_ | Tankado: imap is a mail protocol for mail storage | 09:26 |
| xxx | hola alguien de argentina???? | 09:26 |
| xxx | hiiiiiiiiii | 09:26 |
| Tankado | wols_ : thanks | 09:26 |
| Kohlrak | !es | xxx | 09:26 |
| wols_ | ra21vi: install ubuntu eclipse and uninstall it again via apt-get | 09:26 |
| ubottu | xxx: 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. | 09:26 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest19814 | ||
| ra21vi | wols_: I installed eclipse from the repo, and its working fine., but the one I downloaded as archive eclipse 3.4 is still has same problem. | 09:27 |
| ArcInversion | Ckataklysm: is it in a tar file? Even though personally I hate those | 09:27 |
| wols_ | Ckataklysm: is the file named "Line6.ko"? | 09:27 |
| Ckataklysm | ArcInversion: yea its a tar or GZ or something | 09:27 |
| bdunlap | i hate any file that wont install :P | 09:27 |
| ra21vi | wols_: is there something i m missing, like this ELF binary support in kernel or something else | 09:27 |
| wols_ | Ckataklysm: unpack it and read its docs | 09:27 |
| ndlovu | thanks Kohlrak. Problem is that it's an office server, so running it on a cd is only an option at night. Will have to try that later. | 09:28 |
| wols_ | ra21vi: all your binaries are of the type ELF. all of them | 09:28 |
| Ckataklysm | its unpacked. sitting in a folder on desktop | 09:28 |
| ra21vi | ok | 09:28 |
| Kohlrak | ra21vi: elf is the native executable of linux... | 09:28 |
| wols_ | Ckataklysm: then do what I told you | 09:28 |
| tony_ | nm, i'm removing ff through synaptic, seems to do it | 09:28 |
| scuser | hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04, and I want to make an initial ramdisk from sources, does anyone know the command which makes the initrd ? | 09:28 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: alright... might be a heat issue if it's not in a cool enough room (and it IS summer) | 09:29 |
| wols_ | scuser: dpkg-reconfigure your kernel .deb | 09:29 |
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: and if it's a heat issue, you're lucky it's powering down instead of melting on you | 09:29 |

| wols_ | Ckataklysm: the place where you downlaoded it from has docs then | 09:30 |
| bdunlap | but if ndlovu doens't have the right packages installed to control her mainboard completely,e specially those that control powerup/powerdown that can also cause the random shutdowns. | 09:30 |

| elen | Hello. I am using a wacom board with my linux box, and today i got a second monitor. But when i try to use my wacom board it just skipps across the screens and i can only get to half of both screens.. Anyone know of a solution? | 09:31 |
| wols_ | ra21vi: I told you | 09:31 |
| ndlovu | bdunlap, that's true, but the symptoms just don't seem like software to me. There's nothing in the syslog to indicate that a shutdown is going to happen. | 09:31 |
| tony_ | is there a way to set firefox so it doesn't use my home folder for settings? | 09:32 |
| Ckataklysm | site doesn't really say anything wols_ is installing tings universal on linux? or is it like windows where you just click something and it goes? | 09:32 |
| ndlovu | Kohlrak, yes... hopefully the hardware supports monitoring. | 09:32 |
| === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake | ||
| Kohlrak | ndlovu: if not, and you can get into the room when it shuts down, it should be noticably hot, especailly around the computer vent | 09:33 |
| ra21vi | wols_: to intall from repo .deb and then uninstall using apt-get, i did that, but its still not working | 09:33 |

| bullgard4 | What does 'F21' stand for in 'keycode 234 = F21' in http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~walter/geek/linux-t40.html#video? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: music players take input from files normally | 10:26 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: you've been asked multiple times to stop asking for generic help | 10:26 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: please please, stop | 10:26 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: this is for ubuntu support questions only | 10:26 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: know of one that can take a pipe? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: not really.....just pondering how to do that without a temp file | 10:27 |
| moreau | hmm how can i get 'time ls >> file.txt' to also put the output of 'time' into the file. atm it puts 'time's output in term and the rest (ls) into the file | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | l3d, did you also install awn-manager ? | 10:27 |
| vlt | ikonia: raid1 (mirroring), so the system should be able to boot from /dev/md0 which is identical to /dev/sda1 then, right? | 10:27 |
| l3d | yes | 10:27 |
| ikonia | vlt: perfect | 10:27 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Take notice that I am asking about an Ubuntu Linux article. | 10:27 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: no your not | 10:27 |
| l3d | that works fine | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: it binds that keycode to a fake F key, you can then bind the f key to a command or script | 10:27 |
| l3d | but nothing shows | 10:27 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: alright. a temp file wouldn't be that harsh though... but would it be pipable directly to the speakers? | 10:27 |
| dorange | hey all | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: I don't see why not, in theory | 10:28 |
| vlt | ikonia: But when not creating a 2nd raid device /dev/md1 as PV for LVM ... how can I boot from a partition on /dev/md0? | 10:28 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: Thank you for explaining. | 10:28 |
| execute | ikonia, it works, thanks a lot! | 10:28 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: know how i can find the location of the speakers so i can try? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | vlt: do you've have /dev/md0 - as a device, /dev/md01 as /boot and /mde02 as a PV for lvm, that make sense | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: simple sense | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: you don't go to the speakers, you go to the sound card interface device file | 10:29 |
| jassim | hmmm not work should i format ubuntu on my flash and my Hd then install it again HD to take off the grub ? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | execute: mega | 10:29 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: can you give me a starting location to begin searching for that? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: look at devices like /dev/dsp | 10:30 |
| vlt | ikonia: Aah, ok. Will GRUB be able to find and use another partition table on (hd0,0)? | 10:30 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia: alright, thanks | 10:30 |
| ikonia | vlt: well, this is a bit of a debatable topic, I can give you my view on it, but it's only my view - not fact | 10:30 |
| moreau | is there a way to cd into a directory not by name, but by which # directory is it in the current folder?? aka 'cd 1' cd's to first directory, 'cd 2' into 2nd. I know thats incorrect its just an example | 10:31 |
| peter0 | sdf | 10:31 |
| peter0 | ls | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | moreau: how is "the first directory" established? | 10:32 |
| tony_ | anyone know how to make amarok use minimode by default? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | moreau: what makes it "first" | 10:32 |
| ikonia | vlt: some people like to use the initrd to load raid personalitys and boot from the meta device, my personal view is that this is a risk/messy way, as you are mirroring diks you in my view should boot from the raw devices and allow the boot to create the meta drvices | 10:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Gizmo_The_Great: you'll be fine | 10:35 |

| ActionParsnip | longsleep: would it be possible to remove the troublesome app, upgrade, then reinstall the app? | 10:50 |
| longsleep | ActionParsnip: and http://paste.ubuntu.com/40616/ is the package manager stuff from /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | thevor: its on the cd if you want to use that, you'll also need the windows driver | 10:50 |
| longsleep | ActionParsnip: well there is no troublesome app - it seems like ubuntu-standard does not get installed cause of dependency on evms | 10:51 |
| thevor | ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper is on the ubuntu 8.04 cd? You mean i will have to install the windows driver into ubuntu? | 10:51 |

| geek_ | ActionParsnip: that and suse licenced a fair bit of stuff | 11:03 |
| Slart | Abracadabra: df -h is much much faster.. du counts all the files and takes almost forever on a large drive.. I'd go with df, as ActionParsnip suggested | 11:03 |
| askand | ActionParsnip: yes. it sure is, but is there any particular reason ubuntu dont have it? Is it because of space or freesoftwarepureness or something? | 11:03 |
| * geek_ recalls it comes with mp3 and real support out of the box | 11:03 | |

| Peaker | (because previous update broke my wireless support) | 11:19 |
| Peaker | someone is being irresponsible with the kernel updates | 11:19 |
| godmode117 | any other ideas ActionParsnip? | 11:19 |
| atlef | Peaker: well, or i can just wait | 11:19 |

| ActionParsnip | godmode117: check for new cd drive firmware maybe | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | godmode117: make sure yu tell your software which /dev your drive is and it should be ok | 11:20 |
| Peaker | I remember it used to be dangerous to upgrade to the newest daily Debian unstable.. | 11:20 |
| ra21vi | is pentium-D a 64-bit processor | 11:20 |
| Peaker | now it seems to have become the same with stable/hardy updates | 11:20 |

| xnv | What's this with the kernel update? It's got a problem? | 11:20 |
| Peaker | 2 breakages in 3 days | 11:20 |
| Dabbu | can i use ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4 to updae ubuntu 8.04 | 11:21 |
| godmode117 | ActionParsnip: ok, ill look into that, thanks for the help | 11:21 |

| domas | it is 1:23pm here | 11:22 |
| NylaX | 6:22 am here | 11:22 |

| domas | or :) | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Expl0ited: remember its a world wide web, so t somepoint someone will be awake | 11:22 |
| Dabbu | can i use ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4 to update my 8.04 | 11:22 |
| pabix | NylaX, nope | 11:23 |
| Peaker | ok, envy package fixed it | 11:23 |
| Expl0ited | ActionParsnip: perhaps I just didn't realize which channel im in. | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Dabbu: not sure | 11:23 |
| atlef | NylaX: no | 11:23 |
| NylaX | ok cool | 11:23 |
| Peaker | atlef: the new kernel is now ok here, I had to manually install envy to get nvidia support back | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: did you run gksu envyng-gtk and set it up? or did you just instal and reboot? | 11:23 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: I think I just installed it | 11:24 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: but maybe I ran it too, I do things in auto-pilot so I don't recall :) | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: you need to run it with gksu and then run from there | 11:24 |
| stephane_ | quit | 11:24 |
| PetrosInUbuntu | hi all. does any1 know any good apache server including interface? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: maybe thats why you are getting issues | 11:24 |
| atlef | Peaker: ok, i was about to suggest activating the pre-proposed updates as there are a even newer kernel there | 11:24 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: Before this problem all I did was click on the update icons | 11:25 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: the autopilot mode was just when trying to fix the automatic breakage | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: well read the screens you get and it should reduce issues | 11:25 |
| yao_ziyuan | i wonder if there is a Wubi that lets me install a Windows XP as a block device in a Linux partition? | 11:25 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: there's nothing to read in the ubuntu updater screens | 11:25 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: anyhow, yes, I ran envyng-gtk - (the gksu is inherent in it) | 11:25 |
| ra21vi | Is Intel pentium-D a 64-bit processor?? | 11:26 |
| yao_ziyuan | i need a simple way to install a Windows besides my Ubuntu | 11:27 |
| Ins|de | hello there, i need to setup dynamic ip changes into a subdomain on my dns server, does anyone know how to do that ? | 11:27 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: virtual box | 11:27 |
| yao_ziyuan | i hope there is a Wubi for installing Windows besides Ubuntu | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: oh, cool. Im used to cli ;) | 11:27 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: no, because my purpose is to operate a Windows-only DVD burner | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ra21vi: not sure, i dont think so | 11:27 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: most newbies would probably be completely stuck with the breakage I got in the last few days (since it lost internet connectivity) :-( | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ra21vi: is it a laptop? | 11:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: virtualbox will still use the host os (Ubuntu)'s DVD driver | 11:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: which is not supported by the burner | 11:28 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: ? is there such a thing | 11:28 |
| condoulo | ok, I'm setting up Mint, which is essentially Ubuntu, and I am wanting to manually set up the partitions, would I use ext2, or ext3 as the main partition? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: newbies always get breaks which is why the community exists | 11:28 |
| atlef | condoulo: ext3 | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | condoulo: use ext3 | 11:28 |
| condoulo | thanks | 11:28 |

| chn_boy | Hello all, I have installed a .bin application... But I don't understand command to uninstall it. How can I uninstall this program?? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | condoulo: journalising makes life simpler | 11:28 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: the community is only accessible if you have connectivity. My point is merely that someone responsible for kernel updates got careless | 11:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: yes, unfortunately; it's a very new Samsung DVD burner which have some bugs that make it incompatible with the current linux kernel. i've seen discussions in the kernel community to fix these bugs | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: i guess, maybe its the restricted modules maker? | 11:29 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: are there any firmware updates? | 11:29 |
| altherior | hello | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chn_boy: whats the app? | 11:29 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ra21vi: http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/processors/pentiumd/pentiumd-overview.htm | 11:29 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: firmware updates are only for windows | 11:29 |
| altherior | sorry my english is very bad | 11:29 |
| ra21vi | ActionParsnip: no HP Desktop, microTower PC | 11:29 |
| altherior | I have a question | 11:29 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: the nvidia breakage? perhaps (though its less horrible, it did not lose connectivity). The wireless breakage was in non-restricted drivers | 11:29 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: no, not if you use usb or floppy | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | yao_ziyuan: surely the firmware resides in the cd drive | 11:30 |
| chn_boy | ActionParsnip: Packet Tracer | 11:30 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: check the forums at http://www.cdfreaks.com/ | 11:30 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: my zd1211 driver's .ko file was in an "invalid format" so it couldn't load - and I had to switch to an older kernel in the grub menu | 11:30 |
| altherior | I have a notebook, win intel x64 architecture, but with only 2GB, must I install ubuntu 64 o ubuntu 32? I feel some diference | 11:31 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: the firmware update programs are made in the form of .exe | 11:31 |

| ActionParsnip | chn_boy: this may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278712 | 11:31 |
| Peaker | chn_boy: what's a ".bin" application? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: i helped a dude with a zd the other day, ended up using ndiswrapper | 11:32 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: ouch | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: its a script or binary to install an app | 11:32 |
| condoulo | ok, just curious, when I do set up the partitions, the ext3 partition has a mount point it /? | 11:32 |
| Jahman | hi | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: i find it simpler | 11:32 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: link? | 11:32 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: I think zd support in the official kernel is pretty good | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | condoulo: you create the partitions then edit /etc/fstab to mount them where you wish | 11:33 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper is giving up kernel community support, bug fixes, etc | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: i always use stuff that works out of the box, rather than just buying whats on offer at the local shop | 11:33 |
| condoulo | ActionParsnip: so give it no mount point when installing the OS? | 11:33 |
| atlef | condoulo: easier to do it when installing | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | condoulo: if you just make the partitions you can run the installer and then select the mountings there, the installer has a step where you set up the partitions and mount points | 11:34 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: software freedom and all that | 11:34 |
| condoulo | ActionParsnip: I'm at that step, and I am wondering what to set the mount points to | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: just simpler, less hastle when installing / reinstalling | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | condoulo: well youve made them so you must know what they are for, so you'll know where to mount them | 11:35 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: I like being able to look at the source code and fix problems when they occur | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: i could but i like a simple life | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: hence linux is my only OS | 11:35 |

| hirak99 | hi... how can i figure out if my scp server is running or not? | 11:35 |
| condoulo | ActionParsnip: if I don't select one, will Ubuntu/Mint just automatically select one for me | 11:36 |
| pabix | hirak99, scp server is ssh server | 11:36 |
| Peaker | ActionParsnip: in the short run, using non-free make for a simpler life. In the long-run, probably not | 11:36 |
| hirak99 | there is some problem when i try to scp to hirak99.homeip.net | 11:36 |
| pabix | so ps -el | grep sshd | 11:36 |
| hirak99 | oh ok thanks | 11:36 |

| atlef | yao_ziyuan: looking at it now, 2 sec | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Peaker: oh i use an atheros wireless which works out of the box. I only advise ndiswrappr when all avenues are exhausted | 11:36 |
| bazhang | condoulo, you are using Mint? | 11:36 |
| condoulo | bazhang: I'm trying to set up mint, and trying to partition it | 11:37 |
| hirak99 | i think this place doesn't allow connection to port 22 | 11:37 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | 11:37 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 11:37 |
| bazhang | condoulo, ^^ | 11:37 |
| hirak99 | nor 23, i had to change the port to 443 for SSH to work | 11:37 |
| condoulo | bazhang: under the core/the installer, is essentially the same. So I thought I'd ask in here. | 11:37 |
| bazhang | condoulo, mint is not supported here. | 11:38 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: so you see, i really need to install a windows besides my ubuntu in order to operate this burner | 11:38 |

| VilCoyot | ActionParsnip: Thx ! | 11:48 |

| yao_ziyuan | ActionParsnip: what OS does the usb carry? windows? dos? | 11:50 |

| Oprtz | just installed ubuntu on my windowsXP system with NTFS 3 partions, ubuntu is installed on first partion and 2 partions left with NTFS filesystem, after installing ubuntu 8.04, when i try to open my other 2 NTFS drives, it says you cant mount ? | 12:03 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: i at least have the binfile and the dos utility, but not sure how to do this | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: have you used wubi? | 12:04 |
| Oprtz | no | 12:04 |
| Oprtz | clean installation | 12:04 |
| _magez_ | Magez | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: ok cool | 12:04 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: no | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: then you can mount them easily | 12:04 |
| Oprtz | yeah i used wibi first and then i decide to install ubuntu clean installation | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: if you run sudo fdisk -l you will see the partitions | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | Oprtz | 12:05 |
| ubottu | Oprtz: 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) | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: paste the text in there | 12:05 |
| Oprtz | ok | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: and give us the link | 12:05 |
| ChrisPoland | Hi. | 12:05 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: do you want the bin and dos utility, then maybe a small fat32 partition and the win cd may help | 12:05 |

| yao_ziyuan | atlef: maybe i'd just backup my personal data on the usb and let the winxp cd install windows to my machine (wiping out ubuntu) | 12:10 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: and then test my burner in windows | 12:11 |
| Jakob_the_liar | can someone help me | 12:11 |

| Jakob_the_liar | i cant mount cdrom | 12:11 |
| atlef | a lot of work though | 12:11 |
| Jakob_the_liar | its says dev/hdc does not exist | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: its /dev/hdc | 12:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: and then go back to ubuntu by first installing fedora 7 (i have a fedora 7 dvd!) and then do ubuntu netboot install via grub... | 12:11 |

| Oprtz | ActionParsnip: i am updating updates, will it work ? sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 12:12 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: just to much work, but the drive might not even work in linux after an update | 12:12 |
| Jakob_the_liar | is scd0 cdrom? | 12:12 |
| Jakob_the_liar | /dev/scd0 on /media/scd0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=112,gid=46) | 12:12 |
| kat_aq | i use a ralink rt2860 and i have the right driver i believe but nothing works | 12:12 |

| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: not while you are updating | 12:12 |

| atlef | yao_ziyuan: yes | 12:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: the 1GB usb stick makes me really os-independent | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: put the cd to be mounted in and wait a lil bit, then type sudo fdisk -l | 12:15 |
| Jakob_the_liar | that doesnt do shit except output the harddisks | 12:15 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: you could put the cd on the usb stick though | 12:16 |

| Jakob_the_liar | what about it ActionParsnip | 12:19 |
| ChrisPoland | I just tried manually mounting the partition without restarting, | 12:19 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, the options needs to be together... like auto,user,exec,rw,async | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | hirak99: do you man wake on lan? | 12:19 |
| hirak99 | is there any way to do it from the internet? i access my home computer often through ssh - but for that i need to keep it running all the time | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: thats your cdrom device | 12:19 |
| Jakob_the_liar | i already said that /dev/hdc isnt there | 12:19 |
| ChrisPoland | root@ubuntu:/home/sean# mount /media/media-fat32 | 12:19 |
| ChrisPoland | [mntent]: line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad | 12:19 |
| ChrisPoland | mount: can't find /media/media-fat32 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 12:19 |
| ChrisPoland | root@ubuntu:/home/sean# | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: /dev/hdc | 12:19 |
| Jakob_the_liar | its not there | 12:19 |
| hirak99 | yeah something like wake on lan... but since i am on internet it would be from the internet | 12:19 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: just get isotostick.sh here : http://www.complexity.org/eeebuntu/ and follow this tutorial : http://www.eeebuntu.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=133&highlight=isotostick, just replace eeebuntu.iso stuff with your ubuntu.iso | 12:19 |
| Jakob_the_liar | do you wnat a screenshot of the directory | 12:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: how many times can i rewrite the same byte on a usb stick? | 12:20 |
| The_ManU_212 | hi yesterday i installed hardy heron successful, but after activating the properity atid river x doesnts tart and when i shutdown the pc it hangs... | 12:20 |
| The_ManU_212 | thx for any suggestions | 12:20 |
| Oprt1 | ActionParsnip: should i restart ubuntu ? | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: read your own pastebin thing you sent here. Read this line: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 | 12:20 |
| Jakob_the_liar | yes | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprt1: why would you do that? | 12:20 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and im saying there is no /dev/hdc | 12:20 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: have no idea, you mean how many times you can write to the stick? | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: thats your cd drive | 12:20 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: yes | 12:20 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, command line would be like mount -t vfat /dev/sdXy /media/whatever -o options,separeted,by,commas | 12:20 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: how many times can it be rewritten | 12:21 |
| Oprt1 | to take effects of ur command ? sudo apt-get install ntfs 3g ? | 12:21 |
| Jakob_the_liar | there is NO /dev/hdc | 12:21 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: depends on the quality of the stick | 12:21 |
| Jakob_the_liar | is that not clear | 12:21 |
| Oprt1 | still cant open NTFS partions :( | 12:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: what is the general casse | 12:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: *case | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprt1: you dont need to reboot for that, just use it to mount the ntfs partitions. | 12:21 |
| hirak99 | i think it is probably with a hiphen (-): ntfs-3g | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !ntfs-3g | Oprt1 | 12:21 |
| ubottu | Oprt1: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 12:21 |
| ZeroA4 | Oprt1, ntfs-3g | 12:21 |

| chazco | Hi... i'd like to be able to control my 1024x600 laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) from my 1440x900 desktop (Ubuntu 8.04)... i've tried using the built in remote desktop tools but the resolution wont go full screen... any ideas? | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: you got a /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrw | 12:22 |
| Jakob_the_liar | no | 12:23 |
| Jakob_the_liar | the device is scd0 | 12:23 |
| l3d | ok was wondering how to go about installing fonts that are for windows | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: or anything similar? | 12:23 |
| Jakob_the_liar | but there isnt anything in there | 12:23 |
| bazhang | !fonts | 12:23 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 12:23 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and i know there is something on this disc | 12:23 |
| bazhang | l3d, ^^ | 12:23 |
| fred_ | chiron | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: fine then modify /etc/fstab so instead of /dev/hdc it is /dev/scd0 | 12:23 |
| ChrisPoland | So confused. :( | 12:23 |
| Jakob_the_liar | never mind | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Jakob_the_liar: then run sudo mount -a | 12:24 |
| Jakob_the_liar | i'll figure it out myself | 12:24 |
| ChrisPoland | is there a gui version of mount ? | 12:24 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, no, sorry | 12:24 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, but it is not dificult... just imitate a working line | 12:25 |
| ChrisPoland | I don't want to fuck up my partition. | 12:25 |
| bazhang | ChrisPoland, no cursing | 12:25 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: no idea, but some sites says The USB Flash Drive, on the other hand, is good for 500,000 erase/write cycles. | 12:26 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, it very dificult to fuck up a partition with mount | 12:26 |
| bazhang | ZeroA4, no cursing! | 12:27 |
| koshari | ChrisPoland the act of mounting a partition wont harm it | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrisPoland: even if you do you should ceate a backup of a known good fstab so you can roll back if it all goes wrong | 12:27 |
| l3d | is there a way to move the avant window navigator its not all the way at the bottom | 12:27 |
| koshari | its a good idea to keep a backup of menu.1s2, fstab and xorg at very leas | 12:28 |

| yao_ziyuan | atlef: so what is the purpose of burners if they are not for audio cd creation? | 12:29 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, "sudo fdisk -l" (L or list) gives you a list of partition | 12:29 |

| yao_ziyuan | atlef: maybe because blank cds/dvds are cheap | 12:30 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: so are sticks | 12:30 |

| troythetechguy | I'm running XP as guest using VMware. I just installed the linux header updates for Ubuntu, and I can still launch vm player, but XP now blue screens on boot. Is this common due to the change in linux headers, or is this possibly another issue? | 12:37 |
| Oprt1 | ok | 12:37 |

| ChrisPoland | How do I install xmms? | 12:39 |
| kapone | php6th? huh, wifi works fine | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !xmms | ChrisPoland | 12:40 |
| ubottu | ChrisPoland: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. | 12:40 |
| ChrisPoland | And should I use xmms or xmms2? | 12:40 |
| php6th | kapone: you must be really a n00b to buy closed hardware like mac, if i were you ill just trash that mac, and steal a real computer, a Lenovo maybe | 12:40 |
| bazhang | ChrisPoland, use audacious instead | 12:40 |
| ChrisPoland | !xmms | 12:40 |
| Rizzo_ | syaptic will install xmms for you. | 12:40 |
| bazhang | php6th, please stop | 12:40 |
| kapone | I've been using Linux for almost 10years | 12:40 |
| dougsko | ChrisPoland: use audacious. xmms2 is nowhere near ready to really use | 12:40 |
| kapone | And Linux/GNU nazis like you are why I haven't bothered with IRC for years | 12:40 |
| Rizzo_ | i use RythemBox | 12:40 |
| ChrisPoland | ok, but what about xmms1? | 12:41 |
| jrib | php6th, kapone: ok back to your corners, lets stick to support please | 12:41 |
| dougsko | ChrisPoland: its dead | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mplayer here :) | 12:41 |

| Oprt1 | ChrisPoland: i am not able to mount my NTFS partions, just installed ubuntu 1 hour ago and facing problems | 12:42 |
| kapone | So, back to my original question, I would like to use Ubuntu under Virtualbox, and I like Linux (so everyone can get off my case), but I'm having problems with Update Manager, although apt-get works fine | 12:42 |
| waistless | Hi, my 2nd DVD drive doesn't work, when I attempt to mount a DVD, I get the error "mount: block device /dev/scd1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd1 | 12:42 |
| ChrisPoland | Hi orpt1 | 12:42 |
| Oprt1 | hi ChrisPoland | 12:42 |
| jrib | kapone: tell us what happens exactly | 12:42 |
| === kimmey2k3 is now known as kimmey | ||
| ZeroA4 | Oprt1, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/XXX /mount/XXX -o defaults,umask=007,gid=46 | 12:42 |
| kapone | Nothing, Update Manager seems to start, everything goes gray, but nothing gets pulled down | 12:42 |
| waistless | Now I read that error was due to a missing /etc/fstab entry, however simply duplicating the entry with the mount points in correct places does not let it work, it gives an error about invalid mount arguments | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: is the disk readable? | 12:42 |
| waistless | yes | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: well the drive will be read only as its a cd | 12:43 |
| jrib | kapone: try from a shell and pastebin the output: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:43 |
| Oprt1 | ZeroA4: what is dev/XXX ? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: you dont mount media you intend to burn to | 12:43 |
| waistless | i'm mounting a read only DVD | 12:43 |
| waistless | but it spits out that error not letting me read it | 12:43 |
| waistless | :S | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: then its fine, i wouldnt sweat it | 12:44 |
| waistless | but it's not letting me browse the DVD | 12:44 |
| Rizzo_ | exit | 12:44 |
| Rizzo_ | oops | 12:44 |
| ZeroA4 | Oprt1, your partition... use sudo fdisk -l (L for List) to find out! | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: let it make all the noise it wants. If you get an issue (unreadable disk) then id worry | 12:44 |
| waistless | it gives the error blocking me from reading the dvd contents | 12:44 |
| waistless | now i'll pastebin the /etc/fstab... | 12:44 |
| Oprt1 | ok | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: ahh | 12:44 |
| waistless | the disk is prefectly readable | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: can you give us a pastebin of the output? | 12:45 |

| ChrisPoland | Hi Oprt1, I don't trust linux with NTFS partitions. | 12:45 |
| ZeroA4 | Oprt1, like my NTFS partition are /dev/sda1 (Windows C:) and /dev/sda6 (Windows D:) | 12:45 |

| jrib | morsch: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help | 12:45 |

| waistless | now here's the /etc/fstab WITHOUT the 2nd dvd drive added (like it is by default, mind you.) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40645/ | 12:45 |
| jrib | kapone: can you reach google.com in a browser on the guest? | 12:45 |
| morsch | jrib: thanks | 12:45 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, i have no problems with NTFS on linux for over 5 years! | 12:46 |
| kapone | jrib: same on the apt-get upgrade | 12:46 |
| morsch | join #ubuntu+1 | 12:46 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, i even resize them with gParted | 12:46 |
| ZeroA4 | with no problems at all | 12:46 |
| scuser | hi all, is there an equivalent command to "mkinitrd" on ubunut or anybody knows why it's not working? | 12:46 |
| kapone | jrib: web access is fine, as is apt-get install's strangely | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | waistless: looks ok to me | 12:46 |
| ChrisPoland | Um, but do you write to the NTFS drives from linux or just read them? | 12:46 |
| juro | ActionParsnip: no, I'll give that a go now | 12:47 |
| Oprt1 | ahhh , it says SUDO command is not found, Bash | 12:47 |
| ZeroA4 | ChrisPoland, read and write.... | 12:47 |
| waistless | and here it is WITH the entry http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40646/ | 12:47 |
| juro | ActionParsnip: do you have any experience with it? | 12:47 |
| waistless | this gives me a different error | 12:47 |
| jrib | kapone: pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get update' and the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | juro: lots :D | 12:47 |
| ZeroA4 | Oprt1, sudo... linux is case sensitive... no CAPS | 12:47 |
| juro | ActionParsnip: so it is recommendable? | 12:47 |
| Oprt1 | so i want to delete the NTFS partions and make new partions for ubuntu to work with ? | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | juro: i recommend it but its not officially supported | 12:48 |

| seekingtruth | Seveas: ok thanks, i didnt think so, but they kept telling me to use usermod :P | 13:57 |
| Seveas | seekingtruth, the only way to change usernames is to log in as root (sudo and su won't do here, the original user cannot be logged in), then edit /etc/passwd /etc/group and /etc/shadow and move the homedir | 13:57 |
| drmarwat | cymacyma: thats open already | 13:57 |

| Seveas | error404notfound, ah, you're experiencing the true joy of pulseaudio | 14:03 |
| error404notfound | Seveas: joy? | 14:03 |
| Seveas | error404notfound, best idea is to hope they fix this in intrepid. It sucks. | 14:03 |
| miickee | So who's gonna help me with my sound problems? | 14:03 |
| error404notfound | Seveas: you too have the same problem? | 14:03 |
| Seveas | error404notfound, not exactly the same. Pulseaudio problems tend to manifest themselves in different fun and interesting ways | 14:04 |
| kat_aq | Hey everyone! anyone who could help me with my network card? it won't connect to encrypted neworks | 14:04 |
| yao_ziyuan | i'm using liveusb to happily making my usb a ubuntu 8.04 live usb | 14:04 |
| error404notfound | Seveas: ahan... okay.... | 14:04 |
| yao_ziyuan | before that i use: mount file.iso /cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop | 14:04 |
| error404notfound | Seveas: thanks :D | 14:04 |
| yao_ziyuan | but how do i unmount the iso file? | 14:04 |
| Seveas | kat_aq, what type of chip does it have? | 14:05 |
| toma | does anyone know a repository for qt 4.1.1 | 14:05 |
| Seveas | yao_ziyuan, umount /cdrom | 14:05 |
| kat_aq | Seveas, ralink r2860 | 14:05 |
| yao_ziyuan | Seveas: good | 14:05 |
| kat_aq | oops rt2860 | 14:05 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: did my links work | 14:05 |
| erUSUL | yao_ziyuan: sudo umount /mount/point | 14:05 |
| yao_ziyuan | it seems liveusb is slow | 14:06 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: i'm using liveusb | 14:06 |
| Seveas | kat_aq, you'll need to use ndisrapper to get wpa/wpa2 | 14:06 |
| yao_ziyuan | liveusb is much slower than directly copying the iso file onto the usb stick, why? | 14:06 |
| ChrisPoland | I'm so confused. | 14:06 |
| Seveas | yao_ziyuan, because it has to uncompress things from the iso | 14:07 |
| kat_aq | Seveas, well its a WEP encrypted netwrok im trying to get on | 14:07 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: what do you mean | 14:07 |
| jrib | ChrisPoland: what is confusing? | 14:07 |
| fde | toma: Why such an old version of QT? What version of Ubuntu? | 14:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | Seveas: ok | 14:07 |
| kat_aq | and i have the password and all | 14:07 |
| toma | fde: i meant 4.4.1 ;-) | 14:07 |
| Seveas | kat_aq, might be needed for wep as well | 14:07 |
| happytom | Hi, can anyone help with a ps3-ubuntu 8.04 problem+ | 14:07 |
| kbrosnan | error404notfound: try the known issues section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 14:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: google for 'liveusb' | 14:07 |
| zabeehkhan | >There was a command I used to update my package source through, can anyone tell me what is that command? | 14:07 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: so, you did not use my tip | 14:08 |
| jrib | zabeehkhan: sudo apt-get update ? | 14:08 |
| jrib | !apt > zabeehkhan | 14:08 |
| ubottu | zabeehkhan, please see my private message | 14:08 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: what was your tip :) | 14:08 |
| zabeehkhan | jrib: yeah, thanks | 14:08 |
| fde | toma: It's in intrepid... try asking #kubuntu whether there is a backport repo or something? | 14:08 |
| kat_aq | Seveas, so what should i do? | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | when is intrepid gonna be official? | 14:09 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip: october | 14:09 |
| kat_aq | ActionParsnip, i head october | 14:09 |
| Seveas | kat_aq, install ndiswrapper :) | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | oh yeah. durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | cheers kat_aq | 14:09 |
| fde | ActionParsnip: The release version always tells you... 8.10 ... 2008.10th_month | 14:09 |
| Trackilizer | Hey guys, i use rockbox on my 5th gen ipod, however i can't write to the ipod anymore for no apparent reason. I tried using gparted to format the ipod but Its locked there too. Is there anyway to change this? | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah just realised as soon as i hit enter | 14:09 |
| fde | ActionParsnip: Hardy was 2008 - 4th month ... 8.04 | 14:10 |
| Tommo-dmc | Has anybody set up postfix/mailx on their Ubuntu desktop to send outgoing mail to say a gmail account? I've been reading sites for the last 5 hours and it's frustrating me no end. | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Trackilizer: if you run your writing app with gksu do you get a success | 14:10 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: just get isotostick.sh here : http://www.complexity.org/eeebuntu/ and follow this tutorial : http://www.eeebuntu.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=133&highlight=isotostick, just replace eeebuntu.iso stuff with your ubuntu.iso | 14:10 |
| psychoman | bonjour | 14:10 |
| miickee | Hello? | 14:10 |
| kat_aq | Seveas, i did sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper and it said after a couple lines, E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Tommo-dmc: whats a postfix / mailx ? | 14:11 |
| miickee | Seems like I'm getting no response. | 14:11 |
| fde | Tommo-dmc: You might want to try something like ssmtp - it's much easier to set up. | 14:11 |
| Seveas | !ndiswrapper | kat_aq | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | miickee: hello? | 14:11 |
| ubottu | kat_aq: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:11 |
| fodige | Hello every body | 14:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: currently the only problem is liveusb is very slow. but i can bear with it | 14:11 |
| psychoman | hi, I've a probleme in the sound | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | fodige | 14:11 |
| ubottu | fodige: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:11 |
| atlef | ok | 14:11 |
| miickee | ActionParsnip: Hey mate, I need some help with alsamixer, or sound in general | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | psychoman | 14:11 |
| ubottu | psychoman: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:11 |
| fodige | thanks ActionParsnip and ubottu | 14:11 |
| fodige | Does anyone knows a good http proxy for ubuntu? | 14:12 |
| atlef | yao_ziyuan: i found it to be just as quick as cd, but maybe it is because i have a fast stick :-) | 14:12 |
| fodige | On Windows I knew proxomitron | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | miickee: id follow the ubottu link too | 14:12 |
| Trackilizer | ActionParsnip, no, the ipod is not even listen when i try that | 14:12 |
| Seveas | atlef, that almost sounds nsfw ;) | 14:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | atlef: i think liveusb's algorithm is inefficient | 14:12 |
| miickee | Hehe, I've followed many of those./ | 14:12 |
| miickee | It's something periodic that works, then doesn't work. | 14:12 |
| miickee | I'm not setting it up for the first time. | 14:12 |
| fde | ActionParsnip: postfix is a rather advanced mta (mail transport agent) ... mailx is a cli based mail app, as apposed to the tui interface of mutt | 14:12 |
| atlef | Seveas: nsfw? | 14:12 |
| Trackilizer | Could it be that my ipod harddrive is simply dead? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | fde: i see | 14:13 |
| Seveas | Trackilizer, that's always an option :) | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Trackilizer: Is the ipod set to disk mode? | 14:13 |
| kat_aq | Seveas, seems like its already installed | 14:13 |
| Trackilizer | ActionParsnip, yes, it always worked. Stoped working today | 14:14 |
| Seveas | kat_aq, then you need to install the windows driver for your card and blacklist the native ralink driver. How to do that can also be found on the wiki :) | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Trackilizer: so what changed? | 14:14 |
| corigo | Created new partition and don't appear to have write permissions. How can set write permissions on a mounted partition? | 14:14 |
| happytom | Does anyone bare to help me with a ps3-ubuntu8.04 installation problem? | 14:14 |
| eshat | Hi all,... is there a file where the output on tty1 is saved ? | 14:14 |
| Trackilizer | ActionParsnip, i can only read and not write to the drive anymore. | 14:14 |
| fde | happytom: Depends, what is the issue? | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Trackilizer: could reinstall rockbox and / or the program you access it with | 14:15 |
| kat_aq | Seveas, ok i could try that =) thanks! | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Trackilizer: or try a different app | 14:15 |
| happytom | fde: should i send you a priv with some details? | 14:15 |
| fde | happytom: no... state the issue in channel. | 14:15 |
| happytom | After following instructions on the ps3site: | 14:16 |
| happytom | Using otheros.bld to start the insallation and reebot. | 14:16 |
| happytom | The ubuntu-disk was in the ps3 when rebooting and then this screen appears: | 14:16 |
| happytom | "Ubuntu PS3 KBoot Loader | 14:16 |
| happytom | No default root fs was found, or one was found and it didn't contain a message: config file. | 14:16 |
| happytom | If no rootfs was found you can enter the shell here with 'sh'. Exiting will return you to this prompt. In the shell you can mount your rootfs as /nnt/root/. | 14:16 |
| happytom | Reasons this may have happened include: | 14:16 |
| happytom | - No drive with a rootfs was actually found. | 14:16 |
| happytom | - Your rootfs does not have the correct volume label of "/" | 14:16 |
| happytom | - Your rootfs is corrupt (use the rescue cd to fix this)." " | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | happytom: use pastebin for huge things like that bro | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | happytom: check your fstab | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | happytom: and check grub setup | 14:17 |
| fde | Actually, that's more likely to be GRUB alone... | 14:17 |
| enneth | I've just installed vncserver, but when I connect to the server I just get a blank screen and the cursor. How do I make menus etc. appear? | 14:17 |
| fde | happytom: I wouldn't have wanted that in pm either... use paste.ubuntu.com for such things in the future please. | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | doesnt hurt to double check its mounted right so that grub executes correctly | 14:18 |
| matata | i found user called "irc" in /etc/passwd in 6.06 . is that normal ?! | 14:18 |
| Seveas | matata, yes | 14:18 |
| happytom | I am afraid im a complete nood at linux... =( Dont know anything of what your talking about... Sorry | 14:18 |
| Trackilizer | ActionParsnip, not sure why, but unpluging and replugin the ipod did the trick, thanks alot. | 14:18 |
| fde | ActionParsnip: well, except that issue is before the initrd is even loaded... it's an error that occurs while looking for the kernel. | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | fde: i just threw it in as those 2 things can cause no boot | 14:19 |
| happytom | ok, sorry about that | 14:19 |
| cap | exit | 14:19 |
| matata | Seveas, what is the job of this user ?!! i don't like it ... | 14:19 |
| Seveas | matata, being idle and looking pretty | 14:19 |
| fde | ActionParsnip: It's basically only found the grub instance in mbr, and said 'ok, where's the rest of grub' (aka it's looking for menu.lst) and it can't find it, so it freaks :) | 14:19 |
| Seveas | matata, many system accounts in /etc/passwd (id lower than 1000) are historical and rarely used | 14:20 |
| Kartagis | i apt-get install'd libapache2-mod-php5 but my site is still not php enabled. how come? | 14:20 |
| sharperguy | Anyone know how I can connect to a router via USB as opposed to ethernet? | 14:21 |
| MacGyverNL | On Ubuntu, what is the preferred way to remove / add daemons to certain runlevels? Manual editing of the init script directories, or use of a command? If the latter, which command? (Note that I don't run Ubuntu myself, therefore can not check.) | 14:21 |
| Chousuke | sharperguy: usually you don't. | 14:21 |
| Chousuke | sharperguy: unless your router supports USB (never seen one that does) | 14:21 |
| sharperguy | Chousuke, Well this one does... | 14:22 |
| fde | Kartagis: For a simple way to enable modules and do some config of apache, you might give rapache a try. | 14:22 |
| Chousuke | it's not a winmodem, is it? | 14:22 |
| sharperguy | It's a router] | 14:22 |
| MacGyverNL | sharperguy: Model and make? | 14:22 |
| Chousuke | routers usually have multiple ethernet ports :/ | 14:22 |
| sharperguy | It has 2 ethernet pots | 14:22 |
| sharperguy | *ports, a usb and wifi | 14:22 |
| Chousuke | you should use them | 14:22 |
| smee | fairly limited router imo | 14:23 |
| sharperguy | dont have enough cables | 14:23 |
| Chousuke | buy some. :p | 14:23 |
| MacGyverNL | My bet is the USB port is reserved for networked mass storage. | 14:23 |
| Kartagis | fde, what's rapache? | 14:23 |
| sharperguy | I have like 20 mins to get this done | 14:23 |
| Kartagis | !rapache | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rapache | 14:23 |
| fde | Kartagis: apt-cache show rapache | 14:23 |
| fde | !info rapache | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Package rapache does not exist in hardy | 14:23 |
| Chousuke | trying to get the USB to work is probably more trouble than trying to get the USB thing to work. | 14:23 |
| fde | !info rapache intrepid | 14:23 |
| ubottu | rapache (source: rapache): apache2 graphical configuration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6-0ubuntu4 (intrepid), package size 58 kB, installed size 456 kB | 14:23 |
| ChrisPoland | YAY! | 14:23 |
| Chousuke | *if* the router even supports a network connection over the USB port. | 14:24 |
| Chousuke | which it may not. | 14:24 |
| Chousuke | er hwhh. | 14:24 |
| smee | which you proly would only use in an emergency | 14:24 |
| ChrisPoland | Got it working, after playing around with the gnome-video-thumbnailer's command lines. | 14:24 |
| fde | Kartagis: there is an archive for hardy though also iir | 14:24 |
| MacGyverNL | On Ubuntu, what is the preferred way to remove / add daemons to certain runlevels? Manual editing of the init script directories, or use of a command? If the latter, which command? (Note that I don't run Ubuntu myself, therefore can not check.) | 14:24 |
| Chousuke | sorry, my previous sentence was nonsensical :D | 14:24 |
| ChrisPoland | I managed to make it grab the right frame by using. | 14:24 |
| ChrisPoland | gnome-video-thumbnailer -t 300 -l -v -s %s %u %o | 14:24 |
| Kartagis | fde, I am on SSH | 14:24 |
| Chousuke | I meant to say that trying to get the USB port to work is more trouble than buying a cable :p | 14:24 |
| happytom | about the GRUB, should I just type in "cd/boot/grub" and "cat stage1 stage 2 /dev/fd0u1440"? | 14:25 |
| sharperguy | Chousuke, yeah well I have limited time just now | 14:25 |
| matata | Seveas, but i don't found it in redhat or gentoo ... | 14:25 |
| MacGyverNL | sharperguy: What is the brand, model and version of your router? | 14:25 |
| arkadiusz | hi, folks | 14:25 |
| Chousuke | sharperguy: do you een have a USB cable to plug the thing into the computer? | 14:26 |
| fde | Kartagis: ok? ssh -X ... x forwarding... works on Windows too if you have XMing or whatever it's called. | 14:26 |
| Chousuke | sharperguy: try doing that first :P | 14:26 |
| arkadiusz | how can I force apt-get to install lower version of package from disk? | 14:26 |
| Seveas | matata, doe this channel look like #redhat or #gentoo? :) | 14:26 |
| Seveas | arkadiusz, you don't. You can install it with dpkg --force-downgrade -i filename.deb, but at your own risk | 14:26 |
| ChrisPoland | did u get that Jrib? | 14:26 |
| Oli`` | Is it possible to restart the sound stack? An app crashed leaving a repeating buzzing noise and even though it's long since gone, I'm left with the buzz of doooom | 14:26 |
| matata | Seveas, that's true :-p , but my question is: why ubunut keep this historical account ?!! | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: it does, flick between em, text on a background ;) | 14:26 |
| arkadiusz | many thanks! ;-) | 14:27 |
| Seveas | matata, it doesn't hurt :) | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | matata: safety | 14:27 |
| matata | Seveas, thanks for the info | 14:27 |
| [TiZ] | Hi, I am having a huge problem. A literally HUGE problem. I just did an update of the linux kernel, from the update manager. I went to restart my computer, and after a while, it just sat there with a blank screen seeming to do nothing. So I just turned it off. When I turned it back on, I got a huge plethora of errors: "An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for... | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | matata: some app may use it and its taking up as much resource as the characters in that text file | 14:27 |
| [TiZ] | ...(insert name of every program I have)." How can I fix this? | 14:27 |
| dp | on gdm startup, my applications are being set as a desktop background (ala devilspie, or the like), which doesn't let me move them or close them normally. anyone know where I should look to fix this? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: try pressing esc to show grub and boot to failsafe | 14:28 |
| frank23 | I haven't upgraded to hardy yet and I've been reading that there are lots of problems with pulseaudio. Do these affect everyone? Is it possible to remove pulseaudio entirely to fix this? | 14:28 |
| hateball | frank23: Yes | 14:28 |
| [TiZ] | ActionParsnip: What should I do after I boot into recovery mode? | 14:28 |
| frank23 | hateball: yes I can remove pulseaudio? | 14:29 |
| hateball | frank23: Yeah | 14:29 |
| Skrot- | Hi. Where can I find changes (changelog) between 8.04 and 8.04.01? | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: id choose single user mode and run fschk on your partitions | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: see if that helps | 14:29 |
| fde | frank23: They don't effect everyone, just those that don't install pulseaudio plugins for their apps.... and yes, you can switch back to ALSA alone etc, but that brings its own issues. | 14:29 |
| frank23 | hateball: is just removing the package(s) enough? | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: or you can do it by booting to the livecd | 14:29 |
| Tapout | usb 7-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 <-- which /dev/ is that? | 14:29 |
| joaopinto | Skrot-, 8.04.01 is 8.04 + security and stability fixes, no major changes | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Tapout: sudo fdisk -l | 14:30 |
| frank23 | fde: what kind of issues arise from removing pulseaudio? gutsy works perfectly fine for me | 14:30 |
| Skrot- | joaopinto: I know, I still would like to see the changelog | 14:30 |
| hateball | frank23: I'd think so, might have to make some app-specific changes. Cant remember 100%, was a while since I had to remove it | 14:30 |
| === dorra is now known as visioconf | ||
| [TiZ] | Okay. I'm on my brother's windows box right now. I have no idea what caused this problem or if there's anything at all I can do to fix it. It literally forgot everything. My theme, my font size, my wallpaper, my panel's gone, my icon names... A huge number of error dialogs all saying the same thing. | 14:30 |
| Skrot- | joaopinto: It's for corporate use, so I need it | 14:30 |
| joaopinto | Skrot-, you would need to see the changelog for EVERY package on the -updates repository | 14:30 |
| hateball | frank23: As long as you're on 32 bit and 8.04.1 it should work pretty flawless | 14:30 |
| Tapout | ActionParsnip, when I plug in my usb camera.. it gets loaded .. usbvision has drivers... I see it registering in dmesg.. but no /dev/video0 is created.. so xawtv fails... | 14:30 |
| Skrot- | joaopinto: No, just which packages are updated | 14:30 |
| Tapout | I wanna see if I can tell it which device to use | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: whats the dialogue say? | 14:30 |
| fde | frank23: No 2 apps can use the sound card at the same time in hardy without pulseaudio. | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Tapout: lsusb give any clues? | 14:31 |
| [TiZ] | They all say "An error occured while loading / saving configuration information for (program name here)" | 14:31 |
| nesw | fde: that's not true, it depends on your soundcard/driver | 14:31 |
| frank23 | fde: why not? can't alsa mix the different outputs | 14:31 |
| fde | frank23: If one doesn't let go of the sound card, you must figure out which is occupying it, and kill it... | 14:31 |
| Tapout | ActionParsnip: Bus 007 Device 007: ID 2304:021a Pinnacle Systems, Inc. [hex] .. but which /dev/ is that? :) | 14:31 |
| joaopinto | Skrot-, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz (you also need to check universe and multiverse, in case you use those repos) | 14:31 |
| [TiZ] | The programs include nautilus, quodlibet, gnome-panel, x-session-manager, etc. | 14:31 |
| [TiZ] | And then there was one error box that said something about "all further errors shown only in terminal" | 14:32 |
| fde | nesw: I can't say for sure there, I don't have a high end sound card... but my understanding is that dmix was still required in that situation, and Ubuntu no longer uses that. | 14:32 |
| Chousuke | [TiZ]: you may need to move ~/.gconf2 somewhere else. | 14:32 |
| Skrot- | joaopinto: okay, thanks | 14:32 |
| Chousuke | [TiZ]: to reset your preferences. | 14:32 |
| fde | frank23: nope, not without extensions like dmix | 14:32 |
| joaopinto | Skrot-, anyway, an 8.04 system with the updates enable is at the same level as a 8.04.1+updates | 14:33 |
| joaopinto | enabled | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: boot to live cd and fschk | 14:33 |
| Tapout | ActionParsnip, i'm thinking it's either /dev/usbdev7.7_ep00 .. thru ep82 | 14:33 |
| Chousuke | [TiZ]: though I may have misremembered the directory name; it might be .gconf-2 or something... | 14:33 |
| fde | nesw: I'm not sure what in ALSA would be responsible for directing to different audio channels etc, so I'm not familiar enough to talk further about what you stated. | 14:33 |
| cs02rm0 | does anyone know why i can't burn dvd isos in gnomebaker, that i ripped with gnomebaker and i can play in vlc? | 14:33 |
| nesw | i have an old sblive - hardly high end and multiple apps can play to it fine with alsa alone | 14:34 |
| [TiZ] | I'll fschk from the live cd then. | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Tapout: hmm, what make / model is it? | 14:34 |
| frank23 | fde: ok | 14:34 |
| Kartagis | !lamp | 14:34 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:34 |
| nesw | so it just depends | 14:34 |

| ActionParsnip | Tapout: yeah id make sure drivers are setup ok. If it creates a different /dev then you may need to symlink | 14:36 |
| knu_ | hi @ll | 14:37 |
| Tapout | ActionParsnip, is there a standarized way of searching for a driver? aptitude searchdriver astak for example, would list all drivers available | 14:37 |
| Tapout | or is it just google+needle/haystack? | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Tapout: the latter | 14:37 |
| hateball | cs02rm0: The package dvd+rw-tools should contain it | 14:37 |

| === omar1 is now known as Omar87 | ||
| jrib | !root | Mike80 | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Mike80: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:22 |
| carandraug | knu_: nice. In the list of groups, select the group you want to add yourself and click in properties. It's quite intuitive | 15:22 |
| void | thanks | 15:22 |
| knu_ | carandraug: now im a proud member of the vboxusers group | 15:22 |
| Kurt | you can use 'sudo su' to switch to "root" | 15:22 |
| knu_ | :-) | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Kurt: it is moot as sudo gives you all the power you need | 15:23 |
| carandraug | knu_: ok. If all you needed was to add yourself to that group, it should be working. | 15:23 |
| jrib | Kurt: 'sudo -i' is preferred if you need a root shell | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | root shell is never needed, sudo gives all necessary power and is safer and more secure | 15:24 |
| Mike80 | Thanks ppls. One more question: there is a security risk being logged as a root all the time ? I am the only one who have access to this pc | 15:24 |

| vilcoyot | ActionParsnip: thx you for your help this morning | 15:25 |
| Kurt | not all things can be sudo'ed in a bash shell...some times it is more convenient to be using a root shell. Although thanks jrib for the tip :) | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Mike80: running web facing apps as root can be extremely risky as compromised apps give the attacker the access of the app (rioot) | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | vilcoyot: np bro | 15:25 |
| carandraug | nesw: don't know why that is. But why don't do it through the terminal? It's a really simple command | 15:25 |

| carandraug | whitethunder922: no idea. I also have the same problem with rhytmbox. Never worried much about it because I rarely use it | 16:05 |
| dbl17z | I notice it was a problem cause I booted the disk from an identical system and it did the same thing | 16:05 |
| kbrosnan | Windsurfer619: see the known issues of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 16:05 |
| kbrosnan | carandraug: same, see above | 16:05 |

| infexion | using virtualbox ose do you have to boot into the virtual kernel to use the program or is there something i am doing wrong? | 16:06 |

| amanulla | root password means when im trying to run an application its asking me to login as administrator what to do? | 16:06 |
| dbl17z | keyboards you mean cause I changed the keyboard. | 16:06 |

| beneDaemon | amanulla: use sudo | 16:06 |
| carandraug | kbrosnan: thanks. I'll take a look at it | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: gksu <application>, then use your own password | 16:06 |
| amanulla | how? | 16:06 |
| kbrosnan | Windsurfer619: pulsaudio and many browser plugins like flash and realplayer | 16:07 |
| amanulla | im using ubuntu | 16:07 |
| beneDaemon | amanulla: or use your own password when you're dealing with GUI based apps | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: yep, gksu will give you all the access you need | 16:07 |
| Windsurfer619 | kbrosnan: But.... synergy isn't a browser plugin, is it? | 16:07 |
| amanulla | i can remember that i have to seet some password in terminal | 16:07 |
| beneDaemon | amanulla: don't mess around with the root until you're comfortable with linux in general | 16:08 |
| amanulla | i cant remember command | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: there isnt one, and you dont need it | 16:08 |
| beneDaemon | amanulla: you could do some major damage using the root account | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: gksu <command> will run it with root priveledges | 16:08 |

| Adakos | fair enough.. i'll get to burning one when i get home form work! | 16:26 |
| AliTarihi | legend2440: Thx but I want a repository to add, and to download the kernel. | 16:26 |
| carandraug | cr1: yes. I believe there's shortcuts for that | 16:27 |
| Khisanth | Adakos: if you don't have it anymore, a copy of damn small linux would be a shorter download | 16:27 |

| andycan | ive installed flashplugin-nonfree 3 times, tried flash 10, reinstalled pulseadio - nothing helped | 16:32 |

| andycan | ive got libflashsupport installed | 16:33 |
| zcat[1] | hmmm... | 16:33 |

| danbhfive | zcat[1]: why is there a package that fixes bugs, why aren't the bugs just fixed? Is it because flash is closed source? | 16:34 |

| andycan | favro: yes, im using ati's fglrx drivers | 16:34 |

| zcat[1] | danbhfive: I guess so | 16:34 |
| Pici | danbhfive: The package might fix sound bugs, but it also makes flash crashy. | 16:35 |
| favro | andycan: are they youtube vids? - the mozilla shockwave flash plugin works best for that here | 16:36 |

| sammyF | d4r1os_: like 1-2 sec, and hten everythign was back to normal (except for metacity being on instead of compiz if you had that on)? when did it happen? | 18:18 |
| tsuna27 | bastid_razor: thats wont help me | 18:18 |
| fde | chimp: sure, but generally you'd just use anonymous in that situation... | 18:19 |

| sammyF | d4r1os_: cause me and a friend experienced it simultaneously on two computers running 8.04 | 18:19 |

| d4r1os_ | sammyF: same like me... I do not know why it happens but it happens when I am switching between compiz and metacity using compiz-switch | 18:20 |
| kc8pxy | unop: i guess this is my problem. i hopee this metaphor works. site-available is the collection of trees i can plant. and sites-enabled, is the trees i've planted. all i told it is to plant the default tree, and it said i'd already planted it. then i remove default from the list of trees i could plant, and it works.. that makes no sense. | 18:21 |
| fde | chimp: or 'cd /there && sudo wget http://the.path.to/the/file' I suppose | 18:21 |
| d4r1os_ | sammyF: simultaneously??? sounds crazy... ;-) | 18:21 |
| sammyF | d4r1os_: yeah | 18:21 |
| glasmark | unop: imma try and call the friend who helped me set up linux, he might be able to help me, cause he can essentialy hold my hand through the entire process | 18:21 |
| unop | kc8pxy, but the default install of apache2 on debian/ubuntu already plants a default tree .. :) | 18:21 |
| sammyF | d4r1os_: especially as we're only communicating through MSN. no connection between our comps. | 18:21 |
| d4r1os_ | maybe there is something with MSN... | 18:22 |
| sammyF | d4r1os_: I was just going to say something about wild flickering when he said "my comp just had an epileptic fit" ;) | 18:22 |
| d4r1os_ | which IM client ? | 18:22 |
| unop | kc8pxy, meaning, a file already existed at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default | 18:22 |
| fde | chimp: Of course... but any time you bypass passwords, it's insecure :/ | 18:22 |
| sammyF | d4r1os_: pidgin on both .. but it seems it's something to do with Firefox. we both were trying to access /. at the same time | 18:22 |
| unop | kc8pxy, which is why you had to delete that file to get a2ensite to copy your file to that location. | 18:22 |

| draeath | for ubuntu-server? It always seems to go desktop or cli, never "server" | 19:33 |
| draeath | Well i can just suck it up and do that if editing the sources.list file doesn't work... thanks | 19:33 |

| zetheroo | Refefer: an array of strange things ... | 19:40 |
| Refefer | zetheroo, such as? | 19:40 |
| jorge__ | thanks | 19:40 |
| zetheroo | Refefer: for example sometimes I minimize it and my system crashes so hard I have to power off by holding the power button | 19:41 |
| draeath | So, I have /dev/hda1 as /boot, and /dev/hda2 is encrypted. That gets unlocked, the 'drive' under that then gets LVMed into peices. | 19:41 |

| dmizer | my username in ppp properties keeps reverting to its old settings. i've edited both pap and chap-secrets to remove the old settings, but the username still remains ... how can i change it? | 19:41 |
| Refefer | zetheroo, wow, that doesn't sound good. Do you have any addons or extentions installed? | 19:41 |
| zetheroo | Refefer: of sometimes when I right click on a link or anywhere on the web page it launches the SaveAs dialog or bookmarks etc ... | 19:41 |
| carandraug | zetheroo: you should use SysRq instead of power button in those cases | 19:42 |
| zetheroo | carandraug: SysRq? | 19:42 |
| seb90210 | todays kernel update 2.6.24-19 renders my system unbootable, has anyone experienced this | 19:42 |
| zetheroo | Refefer: yes a few extensions | 19:42 |
| Guest47918 | after upgrading to hardy apache2 was pointing at /var/www. as it once were but i want it to point to /var/ftp/webbserver so when i pointed enabled sites and availabled sites in etc/apache2 to my webbserver folder i cant longer see any of content since it says i dont got permission.... but according to my graphical explorer it says that i got full permission... what to do? | 19:43 |
| zetheroo | Refefer: Download Status Bar, Download Helper, FlashGot and Save Complete ....they all worked very well in the past | 19:43 |
| Refefer | zetheroo, have you tried disabling them and seeing whether or not it fixes the stability problems? Also, what plugins do you have installed(flash, etc.) | 19:43 |
| pbrown985 | Ubuntu updated the kernel today and now my music wont play. I get this error in the syslog. Pulseaudio 5635 module asa sink.c error opening PCMCIA Device. System busy. | 19:43 |
| massmc_ | test | 19:43 |
| pbrown985 | anyone have any ideas? | 19:44 |
| zetheroo | Refefer: Plugins .. yes a number | 19:44 |
| Mecha25 | this is probably blasphemous, but anybody know how I can get Nano style keybaord shortcuts for regular terminal editing? like the set -o vi option | 19:44 |
| seb90210 | pbrown, todays kernel gets stuck on my system on the splash screen, even failsafe mode | 19:44 |
| pbrown985 | My system is normal other than the sound wont work | 19:44 |
| pbrown985 | It will play wav but nor MP3 or Cd | 19:45 |
| Mecha25 | as much as I like vi, I'm trying to switch to dvorak, and unless I can use the dvorak vim script for the regular terminal, I'm going to want a different set of shortcuts | 19:45 |
| Refefer | zetheroo, I would try running FF3 with a clean profile (no extentions) and see if that clears it up. I would also try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and purging the configuration files | 19:45 |
| carandraug | zetheroo: I don't know about your FF3 problem. SysRq is a list of keyboards shortcuts you can use to send orders directly to the kernel (and LInux kernel should answer because it shouldn't be frozen). If you press Alt+SysRq (look in PrtScn) you give the kernel the order to turn off, unmounting everything first and all that stuff | 19:45 |
| pbrown985 | Any idea on a remedy for the sound issue? | 19:45 |
| Refefer | zetheroo, just on the off chance something went wrong | 19:46 |
| seb90210 | i thought something like this would be unacceptable on an ubuntu system, updates breaking stuff | 19:46 |
| dmizer | pbrown985 check your volume settings ... the kernel update may have reverted them. | 19:46 |
| dmizer | my username in ppp properties keeps reverting to its old settings. i've edited both pap and chap-secrets to remove the old settings, but the username still remains ... how can i change it? | 19:46 |
| zetheroo | carandraug: ok ... sounds good | 19:46 |
| Oprtz | hi guys | 19:46 |
| pbrown985 | they are all good | 19:46 |
| carandraug | zetheroo: Alt+Sysrq+ a letter. Different letters have diferent effects. To turn off safelly in those cases, you should use the order REISUB | 19:46 |
| pbrown985 | it locks up amrock | 19:46 |
| zetheroo | Refefer: yeah .. I suppose I could do that ... | 19:47 |

| jordan | joaopinto : yeah, I bound it to my local address (eth1 - 192.168.0.1) but that didnt help | 20:32 |
| unop | hwilde, well, i assume you can use ethtool in an init script -- one that starts really early | 20:33 |
| joaopinto | jordan, and you also need to set proper access privileges from mysql, grant access from remote hosts | 20:33 |
| jordan | joaopinto : how do I do that? | 20:33 |
| unop | hwilde, i believe on of the initscript already sets networking up -- that would be a better candidate | 20:33 |

| mad_max02 | jrib, yes I did | 20:49 |

| * amal029 thinks running Linuses git repo is the best way to keep uptodate with the kernel | 20:49 | |
| jjlee | jrib: perhaps AzizLight made the same mistake as me, and meant to direct that message to me | 20:49 |
| jrib | mad_max02: then you have the newest kernel in the repositories | 20:49 |
| hypoon | chubs: I'm trying it WITH "quiet" and "splash" but WITHOUT logging in now | 20:50 |
| linxeh | P_Kable: you should copy the partition over block for block, then resize the partition to expand it to the new disk size | 20:50 |
| AzizLight | jrib: I already change the capslok key before I used fluxbox, now it's back to normal. I want this to become permanent | 20:50 |
| mad_max02 | jrib, yes I have the "newest kernel in the repositories" but I want to install newest kernel available | 20:50 |
| linxeh | P_Kable: create a new partition the same number of blocks as the old one on the new drive, and start the dd copying | 20:50 |
| chubs | hypoon: alright, so it would seem that something that loads upon login is not unloading upon reboot | 20:50 |
| jrib | AzizLight: make the command run everytime you log into fluxbox | 20:50 |
| jrib | mad_max02: why? You would need to compile that... | 20:51 |
| AzizLight | jrib: you mean the xmodmap command? | 20:51 |
| jrib | AzizLight: yes | 20:51 |
| stabbim | somehow, after attempting (unsuccessfully) to set up a Sprint mobile broadband modem through GNOME network manager, my wifi card refuses to try to associate to any wifi routers/APs | 20:51 |
| hypoon | chubs: my thoughts exactly, brb | 20:51 |
| AzizLight | jrib: yeah that's what I'm gonna do | 20:51 |
| mad_max02 | jrib, if there is no easy way yes I will need to compile. | 20:51 |
| jrib | AzizLight: here: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_startup_file | 20:51 |
| mad_max02 | jrib, so i'm asking is there another way | 20:51 |
| === yoda is now known as seanw | ||
| AzizLight | jrib: thanks | 20:51 |
| stabbim | i'm not sure how messing with a PPP connection affected wifi, but it appears to have caused a problem somehow | 20:52 |
| jrib | mad_max02: no. But you never answered "why?" | 20:52 |
| P_Kable | thanks a lot linxeh | 20:52 |
| P_Kable | I'll try | 20:52 |
| gaintsura | anyone know how to change antialias on full screen video settings without the catalyst control center? | 20:52 |
| chubs | madmax02: you'll have to compile, but if you're adverse to the idea of compiling your own kernel it's strange that you'd need it. so i'll echo jrib and ask why? | 20:53 |

| pim_ | thanks guys I commented out quiet and splash | 21:00 |
| pim_ | I'll try it | 21:00 |
| hypoon | chubs: ok, so I rebooted the second time. There was no splash screen this time either, even though I didn't remove "quiet" and "splash" from the grub command line this time (in other distrobutions, the removals were only temporary, is that not true for ubuntu?) However, it froze just before the actual reboot again. | 21:00 |
| frosty | anyone know anything in here about php? | 21:00 |
| jrib | frosty: installing or writing? | 21:00 |
| chubs | hypoon: so what did it hang on? did you read the message? | 21:01 |
| jrib | gigabyte: run 'xkill' and then click on the offending app | 21:01 |
| chubs | hypoon: if you reboot from the command line there shouldn't be a splash screen | 21:01 |
| frosty | jrib, i just have to modify it a little...... | 21:01 |

| gigabyte | thanks | 21:01 |
| jrib | frosty: ##php for programming in php support | 21:02 |
| hypoon | chubs: so basically, this is what happened: I removed splash and quiet from the boot line, then continued booting. At the login screen, I rebooted. It successfully rebooted, and I let it boot back up without my interference. At the login screen, I rebooted again, and it hung | 21:02 |
| necocool | ajuda? | 21:02 |
| Tsakos | im new to ubuntu, does anyone know of a good binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal to text converter? | 21:03 |
| chubs | hypoon: at the login screen switch to a text console and reboot from there, then see if it hangs | 21:03 |
| chubs | and try it till it hangs i guess | 21:03 |
| hypoon | chubs: * running local boot script (/etc/rc.local) [OK] | 21:03 |

| will02 | shey, no they dont appear, but the bios recognizes them | 21:07 |
| chubs | hypoon: so it's not really hanging then, but x isn't starting? | 21:07 |
| rwaite | hi all. just installed ubuntu. i love how it works with my wireless, but i cannot make sense of 'how' it works. i believe network manager is doing all the heavy lifting, but it still seems murky | 21:07 |
| pim | commenting out the defoptions did not help to prevent it showing me the bar instead of the bootprocess, should I completely remove the line? | 21:07 |
| hypoon | chubs: it's not on the way up, it's on the way down that it's hanging | 21:07 |
| shey | will02: try to see if you can mount them manually thru the command line. | 21:07 |
| chubs | will02: do they show up in ubuntu? what do you mean by not working? | 21:07 |
| will02 | chubs, when i put in a disk, they do not recognize the disk and the disk burner will not see them either, i only have the option of burning a disk image | 21:08 |
| deserteagle | anyone know why my cairo-dock has a big ugly black box underneath it? | 21:08 |

| SherlawkDragon | whenever my computer goes into the screen saver (I think, it seems to just be periods of inactivity), the whole computer stops and all I can get is a black screen, and I end up having to unplug it | 21:09 |

| chubs | hypoon: now how to fix that i've no idea, but i guess it's something to go on | 21:09 |
| hypoon | chubs: alright. I've actually been an interface to another person all this time, and right now I need to go, so I'm trying to get him in this channel | 21:09 |
| chubs | will02: but they've worked previously? | 21:09 |

| Xetrov` | have any of you gotten any linux distro to play nice with the intel s5000psl hardware raid controller by chance? | 21:40 |

| SherlawkDragon | shey> I'm trying to learn the console, I'm just used to the one in Windows | 21:40 |
| chubs | SherlawkDragon: oh alright, i guess i'll excuse it :P | 21:40 |
| SherlawkDragon | but I can't use windows, it's been downgraded to Vista worldwide | 21:40 |
| carandraug | matrix: you have Firefox 3 in the bottom panel, right? Right click there and select maximize | 21:40 |
| shey | laeg: no it should install the kde-libs | 21:40 |
| laeg | ty ty | 21:40 |

| Flinix | ScheissDrogen: I have tried several of the xorg backups I have to no avail | 21:40 |
| vadim | <SherlawkDragon>: better get yourself a manual. Ubuntu Toolbox is useful | 21:40 |
| SherlawkDragon | chubs> now, the sidescroller I'm working on with SDL, I can compile that from command line and all that, on Any OS | 21:41 |
| shey | SherlawkDragon: if you search google for "whatever compile from source ubuntu" you should get some pretty good how-to's. | 21:41 |

| carandraug | matrix: the bottom panel of the desktop. The one that has a button for each window open | 21:41 |
| SherlawkDragon | so, shey, do you have any idea what my problem might be? | 21:42 |
| spideyman | pop pop pop lol! | 21:42 |

| SherlawkDragon | shey> he doesn't even sound like he's familiar with wondows. | 21:42 |
| shey | SherlawkDragon: it can be so many things. But I am leaning towards an ACPI issue. | 21:42 |
| SherlawkDragon | (then again, I have an XP certification... might be me) | 21:42 |
| chubs | snip3r: cool. let me know when you're in and i'll tell you how to make that permanent | 21:43 |
| Wicky656 | !startup | 21:43 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 21:43 |
| ScheissDrogen | Flinix: ? you install the driver from within the x and then restart, or does it hang there? | 21:43 |
| Wicky656 | !boot | 21:43 |
| matrix | carandraug i see that now haha it was so easy, no shey i am not cherry from windows i have been using ubuntu 2 years ago but never had problems with firefox | 21:43 |

| snip3r | chubs: im at the log prompt log in or restart? | 21:43 |
| SherlawkDragon | shey> how do I fix it | 21:43 |
| vadim | well i'm not familiar with wondows. Anybody knows what is it??)) | 21:43 |
| shey | SherlawkDragon: best bet?? Search ubuntu forums. | 21:43 |
| chubs | snip3r: restart to test if it worked, login if you want to make it pormanent now | 21:43 |
| SherlawkDragon | chubs> no. Linux is actually alot more like Mac OS X then Windows. | 21:44 |
| shey | wondows? no I never heard of it. | 21:44 |
| ompaul | discussion is offtopic for here | 21:44 |
| IdleOne | !dvd > Irishmanluke | 21:44 |
| chubs | SherlawkDragon: the backend yes. the gui tends to be completely different | 21:44 |
| SherlawkDragon | Mac OS X is basically Linux with a really good and featureful built in WM | 21:44 |
| Flinix | ScheissDrogen: It tells me to exti X before installing | 21:44 |
| snip3r | chubs: ill restart then log in | 21:44 |
| SherlawkDragon | ompaul> oh poo poo | 21:44 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | SherlawkDragon | 21:44 |
| ubottu | SherlawkDragon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:44 |
| chubs | SherlawkDragon: freebsd actually, but yeah similar | 21:44 |
| carandraug | matrix: that isn't a firefox thing. It's the window manager. The one that you're using just doesn't start firefox maximized. You can do that for all windows. Also, one of the buttons in the top right corner of all window has 3 buttons. The one in the middle is for maximize or unmaximize | 21:44 |
| SherlawkDragon | so anyway | 21:45 |
| SherlawkDragon | acpi | 21:45 |
| chubs | snip3r: hopefully it no longer hangs | 21:45 |
| Flinix | ScheissDrogen: I have the Xorg sys log up now too | 21:45 |
| jagggy | k, since my install of ubuntu 8.04 my sound isn't clear anymore, it's like transformed or something :(... any idea's why???????? anyone? PLEASE? :( | 21:45 |
| ompaul | !sound | jagggy | 21:45 |
| ubottu | jagggy: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:45 |
| jagggy | btw SherlawkDragon you got a master in comp sience and you don't know howto compile? that's pretty fuxd up xD | 21:45 |
| insomnia | anyone got a doc for how to fix networking on Ubuntu 8.04 after installing VMWare Tools? | 21:45 |
| ScheissDrogen | Flinix: you dld a *.sh file that tells you to shut x ? | check for errors in logfile | 21:45 |
| chubs | SherlawkDragon: try doing what i'm telling snip3r to do if you're having acpi problems, but it's not guaranteed to work for you | 21:45 |
| snip3r | chubs: doesn't look like it, gotta wait though | 21:46 |
| vadim | <chubs>: freebsd you say? wanted to try it but unfortunately couldn't make my optical mouse work in it | 21:46 |
| matrix | carandaaug how can i get those "buttons in the top right corner of all window has 3 buttons. The one in the middle is for maximize or unmaximize" i dont have those options when my firefox starts | 21:46 |
| OmiKrOn | how do I debug this? | 21:46 |
| OmiKrOn | subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 10 | 21:46 |
| ompaul | jagggy, conversation is offtopic here too many users please consider #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:46 |
| shey | jagggy: you cannot smile of others mishaps, Your sound isnt working.. remember? | 21:46 |
| OmiKrOn | dpkg --debug=40000 -r doesn`t show nothing | 21:46 |
| chubs | vadim: yeah we were just discussing the base of mac os x. I think it's freebsd at least, i know it's one of them | 21:46 |
| Flinix | ScheissDrogen: Nope I am using terminal (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) to close X | 21:46 |
| jagggy | shey, true, but i can always smile, even when my comp is broken :) | 21:46 |
| carandraug | matrix: are you using gnome? | 21:46 |
| matrix | yes | 21:47 |
| ScheissDrogen | Flinix: whats your graphics card ? | 21:47 |
| IdleOne | jagggy: mis-spelling of curse words is also not tolerated so please watch your language | 21:47 |
| SherlawkDragon | chubs> what did you tell him to do? | 21:47 |
| shey | matrix: you said that it still shows your desktop?? | 21:47 |
| chubs | vadim: i've never actually used it though, never really had the desire to. it seems as if slackware serves a similar purpose | 21:47 |
| kgroves42 | yo would anyone know why my shift or caps lock key just stop working/ it works fine in my xp vmware | 21:47 |
| SherlawkDragon | is there and acpi patch somewhere? | 21:47 |
| carandraug | matrix: with compiz or metacity? | 21:47 |
| SherlawkDragon | or something | 21:47 |
| SherlawkDragon | ? | 21:47 |
| vadim | <chubs>: yeah i think so, but also heard mac is closer to linux than to freebsd (esp. in kernel) | 21:47 |
| chubs | SherlawkDragon: no just adding it to the boot parameters for the kernel | 21:47 |
| matrix | compiz | 21:47 |
| snip3r | chubs: logged on ready to make it permanent | 21:47 |
| Flinix | ScheissDrogen: nVidia 8600 GT. I had it working before the updates. | 21:47 |

| vadim | <vkrolow>: why do you need 2 plugins? | 21:53 |
| chubs | you're in gedit right? | 21:53 |
| shey | matrix: wew. you sure you installed an official ubuntu release? | 21:53 |
| xkpe | anyone got the same problem? | 21:53 |
| SherlawkDragon | shey> oh, and I just downloaded one... | 21:53 |
| SherlawkDragon | anyway... | 21:53 |

| xbxb | Hey. quick question: I want to dualboot winxp and ubuntu, but I can't find my winxp CD right now, so I install Ubuntu first. I'm using a 640 GB hdd and want to use the first 50 GB for Win, the rest for XP. I'm currently in the partition manager of Ubuntu and create a new unused partition (size 50 gb) and after that I create the actual linux partition. is it possbile to install Win later on the first 50 GB without harming Ubuntu? | 21:55 |
| SherlawkDragon | ok. | 21:55 |
| vkrolow | vadim, I dont need but, I can not unistall the 9 | 21:55 |
| carandraug | matrix: do you remember ever having those three buttons? | 21:55 |
| chubs | so restart and let me know if it did. but like i said, acpi problems can be really weird, so it may not have | 21:55 |
| SherlawkDragon | now I can restart? | 21:55 |

| vadim | <vkrolow>: so uninstall 10 | 21:56 |
| carandraug | xbxb: it's possible but it'll harm the bootloader. You'll have to reinstall it again and you'll have headaches if you don't know it | 21:56 |
| xbxb | OK, thanks all | 21:57 |
| xbxb | guess I have to keep searching then :/ | 21:57 |
| Flinix | ScheissDrogen: no, it starts up then says I need to exit X to install | 21:57 |

| chubs | WDC: it appears that drivers for your laptop are currently being developed, 2.6.24 kernel added support for the headphone jack | 22:27 |

| cyban | Just installed Ubuntu - how do I start the Desktop manager - KDE or whatever comes with it | 22:28 |

| chubs | jrib: what? | 22:28 |
| hakunin | unop: jaxer is apache-based server. it has to run all the time. but it needs some kind of display all the time | 22:28 |
| jrib | cyban: boot your computer | 22:28 |

| TSRbuntu | Question, cannot connect to any servers on XChat same internet connection as this PC though. no security is running. Possible things on Ubuntu that could block..? | 22:29 |

| The_ManU_212 | hi | 22:29 |
| jrib | cyban: then you have a server install. There is no graphical environment by default. Is there a reason you didn't install the Desktop version if you wanted a GUI? | 22:29 |
| unop | hakunin, you could run jaxer in a fake X env with xvfb | 22:29 |
| hakunin | unop: thanks! i will look into this. this sounds very much like what i need | 22:30 |

| Orbixx | Best thing to do... | 22:36 |
| marcin | Angielskim miesem rzucaja :P | 22:36 |
| Orbixx | Is to have both hard disks plugged in. | 22:36 |
| djhash | rebel_kid: you dont move it.. just install it.. use the liveCD | 22:36 |

| djhash | rebel_kid: you dont have to.. | 22:36 |

| Orbixx | sda must be your old hard disk | 22:38 |
| Orbixx | sdb must be the new hard disk | 22:38 |
| Orbixx | However. | 22:38 |
| Orbixx | The actual names may vary. | 22:38 |
| Orbixx | So identify them carefully. | 22:38 |
| Orbixx | Best to mount them first, check the contents, then remember their name. | 22:39 |
| Orbixx | Then dismount and do as I said. | 22:39 |
| thevor | Hey. I'm trying to get my Broadcom bcm4328 wireless card. to work. I've installed ndiswrapper and downloaded my windows driver from dell support but I can't read them off of the cd that I burned them to in Linux. | 22:39 |
| rebel_kid | orbixx: does the second drive need to be blank? | 22:39 |
| Orbixx | rebel_kid: No. | 22:39 |
| shey | jagggy: did you try the alsaconf? | 22:39 |
| chubs | heh, dismount | 22:39 |
| Orbixx | It helps if the disks are the same size. | 22:40 |
| Orbixx | If they're not the same size. | 22:40 |
| Orbixx | It might be an idea to erase the second disk. | 22:40 |
| shey | thevor: all you need is the INF file. | 22:40 |
| rebel_kid | thanks | 22:40 |
| Orbixx | I forget the intricate technicalities, so might be best to wipe the second disk anyway. | 22:40 |
| Orbixx | Just for good measure. | 22:40 |

| erisco | I have a ubuntu 8.04 box whose graphics just won't cooperate. the card is a geforce 8500, and the restricted nvidia-glx-new driver is enabled (I have tried different versions as well). It isn't that the card isn't picked up, or that it doesn't mostly work, its that the 3D acceleration doesn't work. Weird errors dealing with opengl occur, and glxinfo comes back with an error. glxgears will not run | 23:04 |
| erisco | I have tried letting xorg reconfig itself by removing xorg.conf | 23:04 |
| erisco | this is how I get the typical 2D support, and the desktop runs fine | 23:04 |
| erisco | but the 3D support doesn't configure itself properly, and things are missing. | 23:04 |
| erisco | I do not know where to start diagnosing, as hours of googling did not result in anything consistent or useful | 23:05 |
| AzizLight | I need to mount a drive but it's type/System is EFI GPT, what do I specify for that? I mean when I type mount -t ... | 23:05 |

| Rolaulten | linxeh: ok, but for a new user thats the simplest? | 23:06 |
| unop | amal029, useless use of cat | 23:06 |
| rconan | amal029, no doubt you read the article about overusing cat today... | 23:06 |

| KebabBob | There's so many svn tools in the package manager, I couldn't pick :) | 23:15 |
| KebabBob | rebel_kid: Depends on the hd | 23:15 |
| linxeh | rebel_kid: a long time, depending on the blocksizes used, and the way the drives are configured | 23:15 |
| qr_ | rebel_kid: if you're copying the whole device (ie /dev/something) how much space is used doesn't matter. And it will take a fair amount of time. | 23:15 |

| unop | LurkerInTheWebs, you use it at a terminal/console .. just type screen | 23:17 |
| KebabBob | err 74gb | 23:17 |

| u2227 | ok I am sorry to ask again, but anyone got an idea if tehre is a GNOME keyboard config file? | 23:18 |
| rebel_kid | qr_: thanks just making sure its actually working | 23:18 |
| KebabBob | I didn't know they made 80gb disks anymore - the sas and 10k sata are usually 74gb | 23:18 |
| gianluca120390 | server irc.tin.it | 23:18 |
| KebabBob | Because of platter size | 23:18 |
| linxeh | KebabBob: 7200 sata | 23:18 |
| unop | qr_, you can get dd to give you a status update while it is running | 23:18 |
| LurkerInTheWebs | unop, then what? | 23:18 |
| qr_ | unop: oh really? I didn't know that. | 23:19 |
| linxeh | KebabBob: admittedly we gutted the drives and replaced them with 2x 1TB drives, but still :) | 23:19 |
| KebabBob | ok I stand by my words then, 80gb 7200rpm disks are usually "old" revisions | 23:19 |
| koshari | KebabBob when they begin reporting disk sizes as ACTUAL i will take note | 23:19 |
| unop | qr_, kill -USR1 $pid_of_dd | 23:19 |

| nks_ | Hello, I had a quick question to ask- I'm a newbie - Which is better, Kde4 or ubuntu 8.04 ? I'm planning on installing one or the other.... | 23:31 |
| isodude | nks_: install ubuntu and then install kde4. switch and try both :) | 23:32 |
| qr_ | nks_: they are ubuntu and kde are completely different things... kde can live within ubuntu though | 23:32 |
| ubuntu | nks_: I would say use 8.04 first before going into KDE4..That's my opinion | 23:32 |
| DjViper | nks_: kde4 is a 'beta' | 23:32 |
| uffo | is it possible to use driver SIS mirage 3+ for Esprimo 5535 or it is only for windows | 23:32 |
| nks_ | Is there a way to delete one or the other after installation? | 23:32 |
| DjViper | nks_: you can have both installed at the same time | 23:33 |
| uffo | do i have revert to windows to use raphics driver | 23:33 |
| isodude | nks_: both gnome and kde is just packages | 23:33 |
| DjViper | doesn't matter, you only need to log out to switch between them | 23:33 |
| unop | rebel_kid, what's the matter? | 23:33 |
| qr_ | uffo: no, not at all. | 23:33 |
| nks_ | ok, thank you very much ? | 23:33 |
| nks_ | Your opinion - which is better ? | 23:33 |
| uffo | but this laptop is integrated that SIS shit | 23:34 |
| ubuntu | Is there anyway I can install from this LiveCD and make it overright my system files so I can at least install it again and not lose my documents pictures etc ? | 23:34 |
| isodude | Someone that has done some /dev-programming? Is there a channel thats better fit to ask in maybe? | 23:34 |
| uffo | i cannot replace card | 23:34 |
| Pici | uffo: Please watch the language in here. | 23:34 |
| DjViper | nks_: kde4 is fancy, but not stable, gnome is simple and userfriendly | 23:34 |
| rebel_kid | unop, the command u suggest kill -USR1 $pid_of_dd run that inside dd or in another terminal or what? | 23:34 |
| nks_ | ok, thank you | 23:34 |
| qr_ | isodude: I'd start with google if I were you. | 23:34 |

| hiptobecubic^ | qr_, that's not really helpful. It's a script that has to run at network up, not startup. I can make the script run using networkmanager, but i need it to be able to change my routing tables, which it cannot | 23:43 |
| ScheissDroge3 | ubuntu: open a terminal... | 23:43 |
