| tolecnal | I've made two installations of Ubuntu the last few days, where the system clock is set to local time, being CET. And the location has been set right, with the time zone. But yet, the clock that is reported by the system is two (2) hours off. Anyone else expirienced this? | 00:03 |
| dres | xubean: it's just a matter of telling it which one to send sound to | 00:03 |
| quaizar | no oss 4.1 and using 2 + sub | 00:03 |
| quaizar | xubean: i have an x-fi which might be part of my problem | 00:04 |
| xubean | dres: ok then i don't have to exclusively mention it to use this one certain sound card? like the creative sound card? | 00:04 |
| dres | no you shouldn't. | 00:04 |
| xubean | quaizar: sorry bro, i'm a noob here so I don't even know what x-fi means.. | 00:04 |
| quaizar | xubean: just the type of card | 00:05 |
| xubean | ok dres, thanks, let me restart my computer and i'll be back.. | 00:05 |
| dres | but it chooses the "first" (defined by what it finds first) to send output to. so just need to change that. | 00:05 |

| quaizar | webcam mic and plugin mic neither working | 00:05 |
| quaizar | got some distored sound through wine ventrilo with mic but can't seem to figure this out | 00:06 |
| dres | quaizar: you've run alsamixergui and made sure the mic is turned on? (or something else) | 00:06 |
| quaizar | ubuntu tools don't recognize the card but aplay and other diags do | 00:06 |
| quaizar | using oss alsamixergui gives error | 00:06 |
| quaizar | dres: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device... i assume because i have to use oss 4.1 for creative xfi | 00:07 |
| dres | quaizar: ah. sorry not familiar with the xfi | 00:08 |
| quaizar | dres: think it has more to do with oss than the card its self | 00:08 |
| quaizar | dres: what about webcam mics any experience with those? | 00:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | quaizar: you have OSS 4.1 installed? | 00:08 |

| quaizar | dres: uvc? | 00:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if it's not there, might have to right-click and edit the menu to get it to show... | 00:10 |
| dres | quaizar: drivers for a type of webcam. | 00:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | change the sound subsystem to oss by default | 00:10 |
| wat | [06:09:02] <wat> how can i find where a drive is located in ubuntu, like /dev/sda1, that label. Although the drive cant mount, how would i do so | 00:10 |
| quaizar | Daisuke_Ido: ah, it also gives an error, i assume because it uses alsa by default | 00:10 |
| quaizar | Daisuke_Ido: no volume control gstreamer plugins and no devices found | 00:11 |
| dres | quaizar: did you get the beta drivers from creative's site for the xfi? | 00:11 |

| borys | hi, I just want to repost my post from ubuntu-mirrors, where nobody answered me: | 00:14 |
| quaizar | dres: Daisuke_Ido: also when i go to sound settings it shows oss for sound capture but not the camera/mic nor the xfi, don't know if there is a way to point it to them? | 00:14 |
| borys | hi, I'm an user of Kubuntu since 7.04. Before there was an official mirror of Ubuntu packages repository on ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/linux/ubuntu, since 8.04 this repository could not be found using a list of official repositores besides the fact that it has always latest packages and seems be actual. Could somebody check it and if it is possible add this repository to the list of official repositories. | 00:14 |
| borys | [01:10] <borys> for me it is important because I install Kubuntu other people on our university and don't want to waste my time editing sources.list manually, and other matter is that now using Adept manager repository from my univeristy is visible as third-party software and I cannot add an option in "Uptades" tab (Unsupported updates) and thus update KDE to 3.5.10 version. | 00:14 |

| cyphase | hmm, the gnome file chooser is really slow for some reason, as well as the gnome-panel properties dialog | 00:21 |
| JohnT | someone gave me the site yesterday | 00:21 |
| JohnT | to get the livecd | 00:21 |
| JohnT | because i had ubuntu then split the parition and installed XP | 00:22 |

| woli | i'm installing ubuntu, and i have 2 hard disks | 00:22 |
| ant2ne | you need ntfs-3g to see the ntfs mounts | 00:22 |
| zelrikriando | my mouse is getting unresponsive,is that normal? | 00:22 |
| dres | JohnT: ah then yea you'll need to boot from the cd and run grub to fix that. | 00:22 |
| cyphase | dres: no, but that wouldn't explain the gnome-panel properties dialog slowness | 00:23 |
| zelrikriando | I mean, could it be related to ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| majnoon | !sdparm | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sdparm | 00:23 |
| woli | when i am prompted of were to install, i choose the whole thing, but there is no option of where to install i mean, the partitioner asumes that both drives are one | 00:23 |
| woli | and sums the sizes of both | 00:23 |
| fogobogo | zelrikriando: most likely no. | 00:23 |
| dres | cyphase: no, but doesn't hurt to ponder. | 00:23 |

| MannyZ | zelrikriando, hmm ok | 00:26 |
| zelrikriando | MannyZ, it can be a version issue or just the package got broken for some reason... | 00:26 |
| MannyZ | :/ | 00:26 |
| quaizar | dres: do you know if items that are listed in blacklist mean they are turned off? because snd_usb_audio is in there | 00:26 |
| zelrikriando | MannyZ, or the protocol changed on MS's side and amsn didnt follow up on that...I had some similar issues with ICQ back in the day.... | 00:27 |
| dres | quaizar: i believe so. | 00:27 |
| JohnT | well i forgot it | 00:27 |

| MannyZ | zelrikriando, i dont know how to install that ind of files :( | 00:29 |
| woli | and is it sane? | 00:29 |
| carandraug | JohnT: you have to reinstall GRUB. I'll give you a link for that. One minute | 00:29 |
| JohnT | thanks | 00:29 |
| dres | greenman: I'd install memtest86+ on it. reboot and choose memtest at the grub menu and let it run for a bit to make sure that's not a problem | 00:29 |
| MannyZ | zelrikriando, i did it now :P | 00:29 |
| AhmadSherif | deeperror, any more details please :) ? | 00:29 |
| MannyZ | zelrikriando, ill test ! | 00:29 |

| MannyZ | zelrikriando, how the hell that amsn still remembers my username and password? | 00:30 |
| woli | if i choose the automatic installation and i have two drives, ubuntu believes there is only one (that is the combination of both). I i install it that way, what will happen? | 00:31 |
| MannyZ | zelrikriando, even i deleted amsn and reinstalled -.- | 00:31 |
| JohnT | ah, super grub disk | 00:31 |
| greenman | dres: memtest? how do you get it? Also, I'm not sure how I would install it without going on the internet, is lynx installed by default? | 00:31 |
| JohnT | thats what it was | 00:31 |
| woli | nvm | 00:31 |
| JohnT | thanks | 00:31 |
| woli | em... | 00:31 |

| rfj | xubean: I had a similar problem before - when I plugged in my speakers, they just didn't work, I'll try to find how I solved it | 00:50 |
| xubean | rfj: i think the problem is pulse audio is not using the creative sound card. for example when i do pavumeter, it shows only two sound lines for left and right, while i should be getting left, right, center, left back etc | 00:50 |

| koyo001_ | because i have lost the windows bar | 00:53 |
| cjones | what do i have to do for ubuntu to see the camera i just pluged in to usb? | 00:53 |
| rfj | xubean: this might not be the same problem... but I know I solved it by going into Volume Control (on my Debian system, it's Applications menu -> Sound and Video -> Volume Control) and changing settings until it worked | 00:53 |
| koyo001_ | they minimize and they cannot be retrieved | 00:53 |

| johnny_ | no.. don't do that | 01:08 |
| woli | zelrikriando: isn't debian the language linux is written in? | 01:08 |
| johnny_ | but you can moutn your hard drive anywhere you want | 01:08 |
| woli | em, because my root drive is only 18gb big... | 01:09 |
| Megaqwerty | woli: Debian is the distribution Ubuntu is based on | 01:09 |
| woli | is it enough? | 01:09 |
| unop | woli, no .. ubuntu is an offshoot of debian | 01:09 |
| jrib | xtract: you can do that already. Just click and drag | 01:09 |
| kam1kaz3 | johnny_, yeah, but if I resize the taskbar to 48px (so I get 2 rows in the window listing) the icons next to the clock get huge, and eats away window listing space | 01:09 |
| Johnt | so anyone know why my ubuntu partition wont boot now? | 01:09 |
| woli | ah... | 01:09 |
| johnny_ | woli: that's why i use lvm.. so i can change the volumes | 01:09 |
| johnny_ | but you could move all files in a large directory to your new hard drive | 01:09 |
| woli | Megaqwerty: do i need a home partition while i have a whole hdd to save my things in? | 01:09 |
| johnny_ | and then mount that hard drive | 01:09 |
| johnny_ | woli: yes | 01:09 |
| johnny_ | pay attention | 01:09 |
| Megaqwerty | woli: yes | 01:09 |
| johnny_ | you own the files in your own | 01:10 |
| Megaqwerty | woli: you should have your extra drive set up as your home partition | 01:10 |
| johnny_ | home | 01:10 |

| woli | Megaqwerty: how big? the drive is 90gb big, i hear 192kbps music | 01:10 |
| woli | or johnny_ | 01:10 |
| jrib | xtract: maybe. Has always worked for me. Are you clicking on white space and then dragging? | 01:10 |
| kam1kaz3 | daekdroom, k, I'll try that, ty :) | 01:10 |
| daekdroom | kam1kaz3, if you resize a single taskbar to 48px it won't have a 2 row window listing. | 01:10 |
| xtract | yes | 01:10 |
| woli | well, i guess i will store my music elsewhere in the drive... | 01:10 |
| kam1kaz3 | oh, but I want it to | 01:10 |
| johnny_ | woli: just moutn your drive at /home | 01:11 |
| johnny_ | and put all home files in there | 01:11 |
| kam1kaz3 | I just want the icons next to the clock to also have 2 rows | 01:11 |
| woli | uh ok | 01:11 |
| Megaqwerty | woli: that's up to you, but optimally, if you aren't using the drive for anything else, I'd just make the whole thing my /home | 01:11 |
| woli | thanks | 01:11 |
| jrib | xtract: should work then :/ Maybe try a live cd to make sure it works there (if you care enough about this) | 01:11 |
| woli | wow, you guys are synched lol | 01:11 |
| daekdroom | kam1kaz3, I have no idea of how to do that :x | 01:11 |
| xtract | ok | 01:11 |
| xtract | thanks for the information | 01:11 |
| kam1kaz3 | heheh, me neither :) | 01:11 |

| Megaqwerty | Mr_Fixit: if Fluxbuntu doesn't work, I suppose you could try Damn Small Linux (DSL) | 01:15 |
| Mr_Fixit | would fluxbuntu work on a 1.5ghz 256 ram? | 01:16 |
| woli | lol | 01:16 |

| prince_jammys | woli: they're really mostly the same distro with different desktop environments. confusingly, they give them different names. | 01:17 |
| bastid_raZor | koyo001; i found it.. once you have the toolbar back at the bottom click add to panel ... then scroll down the list and add 'window list' .. you'll have to do some resizing of that applet on the toolbar. the rest of the items like trashcan or show desktop stuff are named righ tin there. | 01:17 |
| woli | prince_jammys: whats fluxbuntu's de ? | 01:18 |
| prince_jammys | woli: fluxbox | 01:18 |
| woli | is it better than gnome? | 01:18 |
| salaz | Johnt: is that helps you? | 01:18 |
| johnny_ | no | 01:18 |
| prince_jammys | matter of opinion | 01:18 |

| woli | lol | 01:24 |
| jrib | I just realized that when I turn off my monitor, the power to the usb my mouse is on is killed. So that explains my log. So new question: How can I tell Xorg to use evdev when I plug a mouse in after X has started? | 01:25 |
| woli | i was unaware of dell linux | 01:25 |
| teXXas | im not wanting to do a live cd | 01:25 |

| bastid_raZor | D_Graham; monitor the network card (ex. eth0) which you'll monitor all traffic on said card. install netspeed or netspeed_applet.. look in synaptic for the exact package name | 01:29 |
| bastid_raZor | bastid_raZor; netspeed is the package name. | 01:30 |

| bastid_raZor | D_Graham; oh, i see what you mean. i don't know of way to monitor another computers card from yours.. if that is even possible. | 01:31 |
| Johnt | outbriber i was wondering if its possible to program the Dell Media Direct button to boot up a different partition | 01:31 |
| D_Graham | bastid_raZor: yeah i think i will just use both and monitor seperate | 01:31 |

| Johnt | does ubuntu have a recovery mode? | 01:34 |
| bastid_raZor | toto; add Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" under device /dev/psaux | 01:34 |
| jrib | How can I edit how Xorg chooses a driver to use when I "hotplug" a mouse? | 01:34 |
| cman | Johnt: yes | 01:35 |
| jrib | Johnt: yes, it's an option in the grub menu | 01:35 |
| Johnt | can i get a link on how to recover? | 01:35 |
| jrib | Johnt: reboot. Choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu. It gives you a root shell, nothing more. What is wrong? | 01:35 |
| unop | Johnt, recover what exactly? | 01:35 |
| Johnt | ok ill explain everything again | 01:36 |
| Johnt | i installed ubuntu on my entire disk | 01:36 |
| jrib | Johnt: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying | 01:36 |
| Johnt | kk sorry | 01:36 |
| stepa1 | How can i check if my hdd has any bad sectors? | 01:37 |
| toto | still doesn`t work | 01:37 |
| Johnt | i installed ubuntu on my entire disk then used gparted and installed XP but XP overrid the mbr and wasnt detecting the ubuntu setup so i reinstalled grub but i get a cannot mount error on it and XP wasnt on the list so right now i restored XPs mbr and i dont know what to do | 01:38 |
| bastid_raZor | toto; you need to restart X | 01:38 |
| jrib | Johnt: do you have any data on the disk or are you ok with starting over? | 01:39 |
| Johnt | i can reinstall XP but i'd rather keep my ubuntu setup | 01:39 |

| Johnt | but if there isnt a choice i guess i could reinstall ubuntu | 01:40 |
| koyo001 | yo stevenw | 01:40 |
| jrib | Johnt: well it would be a lot easier to just format your drive with a partition for windows and ubuntu, install windows first on the first partition, then install ubuntu on the rest of the space. As it is, you need to reinstall grub and troubleshoot the issues you have after you do that (ie paste errors and such) | 01:41 |
| joanki123 | is bittorrent in the respositories? | 01:42 |
| duli | my /boot partition is 99% full and system is not working properly. How do I remove old kernel packages? | 01:42 |
| Johnt | jrib: so just formatting everything would just be alot easier? | 01:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | duli: open synaptic and look for linux-image- packages | 01:42 |
| jrib | Johnt: that's usually easier, yes. Make sure you put windows on the first partition | 01:42 |
| jrib | joanki123: yes | 01:42 |
| ajhtiredwolf | joanki123, there are a bunch of bittorent clients | 01:42 |
| joanki123 | jrib, thanks | 01:42 |
| duli | Daisuke_Ido: synaptic is not working, due to lack of space on /boot | 01:43 |
| jrib | duli: remove the appropriate linux-image* | 01:43 |
| chug0 | hello, my ubuntu is very slow , I have a intel dual-core processor, how do I verify that the system has reconigzed and configured correctly my pc? | 01:43 |
| jrib | duli: use apt-get and pastebin errors | 01:43 |
| duli | jrib: sorry, I'm new to ubuntu, how do I remove? apt-get something? | 01:43 |
| duli | ok, just a sec | 01:43 |
| jrib | duli: apt-get remove | 01:43 |
| salaz | chug0: u have more than ubuntu really needs..it shouldnt be slow | 01:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's probably trying to install a new kernel and can't, so he can't remove the old one via apt-get | 01:44 |
| duli | jrib: how do I list what linux-image are installed? | 01:44 |
| Hanz | Im building a pc for the first time, im just about to install the processor but im not sure weather i need thermal paste on my heat sync, it's the one i got with the cpu, heres a pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/STAR3211/P8100184.jpg , is that gray stuff the termal paste thats already on it? | 01:44 |
| unop | duli, dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' | 01:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | in my case (this happened a couple weeks ago), i deleted the oldest image by hand, then apt-get -f install | 01:44 |
| duli | unop: tks | 01:44 |
| jrib | duli: aptitude search '~i~nlinux-image' | 01:44 |
| stepa1 | How can i check if my harddrive has any bad sectors? Please assist. | 01:44 |
| salaz | Hanz: new processor usually already comes with thermal compound | 01:45 |
| danbhfive | stepa1: fsck -c might be the command. I suggest you google before you try that | 01:45 |
| bazhang | Hanz, ask in #hardware | 01:45 |
| Hanz | salaz: cheers man | 01:46 |
| barried | Hanz: Yep looks good. | 01:46 |
| salaz | Hanz: yes, it is the thermal compund alredy installed | 01:46 |

| Daisuke_Ido | it's trying to configure a kernel and there's no room in boot | 01:48 |
| joanki123 | bazhang, can you elaborate, don't understand | 01:48 |
| FAJALOU | Johnt: you will have to use a livecd version to make one partitino, but you will loose your information on the partitinos you delete | 01:48 |

| jrib | luckis: that won't work for what you asked though | 02:05 |
| duli | unop: fixed, tks | 02:05 |
| unop | duli, yw | 02:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | sasi: its gone?.. if so, just right lcick your top panel and choose new panel. | 02:05 |
| duli | unop: why does ubuntu keep keeping all previous kernel and not just the last two? Is it possible to do it that way? | 02:05 |
| === yabba3borg is now known as dddjdyaa | ||
| sasi | k thank you IndyGunfreak | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | duli, yes - the /boot/grub/menu.lst can 'show' only the last few (i have it set for 2) .. you can manually remove the others also with the package manager. | 02:06 |
| greenman | When you run memtest, does it stop when finished or keep looping forever? | 02:06 |
| Smithery2 | salaz: i only have athe broadcom b43 as an option and it is ticked | 02:06 |
| cpierce | i installed ubuntu on my laptop and enabled restricted drivers (video) now my screen won't come up is there a way to disable those in console? | 02:06 |
| salaz | how to make like disc cleanup? deleting files that are not needed? | 02:07 |
| duli | Dr_willis: yes yes, but I would like ubuntu to automatically remove the last kernels, is it not possible? | 02:07 |
| salaz | Smithery2: is it enabled? | 02:07 |
| unop | duli, why? because if you install a new kernel and there are problems with it that stop you from booting, you'd be stuck. , you need to be able to get back and use the older kernel | 02:07 |
| sasi | but there is no minimized windows....what happend | 02:07 |
| salaz | Smithery2: how about the status? | 02:07 |
| duli | unop: because /boot has limited space, and I think only two past version are good enough | 02:07 |

| Dr_willis | duli, no idea. Ive never bothered. since i am not worried about the little space a kernel takes up. | 02:09 |
| Smithery2 | salaz: enabled yes | 02:09 |
| duli | Dr_willis, unop: Ok guys, tks.. | 02:09 |
| sasi | I am not finding tabs on bottom panel ..........how can enable that feature | 02:09 |
| salaz | Smithery2: it should already have the connection, maybe u have the switch on button on ur laptop perhaps? | 02:10 |
| bazhang | sasi, for the dock? | 02:10 |
| Megaqwerty | duli: I actually think this feature is implemented in Intrepid | 02:10 |
| sasi | no no | 02:10 |
| Smithery2 | well I thought that but the button will not light up anywyas | 02:10 |
| duli | Megaqwerty: Hum, what is it, a package I can install? | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | sasi: right click the panel... add to panel, and add "Window List" | 02:11 |
| === Jonny is now known as Lincid | ||
| sasi | like irc minimized windows ..i could not find | 02:11 |
| cpierce | anyone on how to disable the restricted drivers? | 02:11 |
| Megaqwerty | duli: No, it's pretty low level configuration | 02:11 |
| salaz | Smithery2: try to reboot if u just updated the softwares n drivers | 02:11 |
| Megaqwerty | duli: (they tweaked grub and init) | 02:11 |
| duli | Megaqwerty: hum... ok | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | sasi: because its a brand new panel, it has nothing installed on it, install Windows list like i todl you, and you'll get your tabs back. | 02:11 |
| blankthemuffin | With Ubuntu's default laptop CPU scaling, is there some way to stop it scaling down totally when it's on power? | 02:11 |
| Smithery2 | how should I update the drivers? | 02:11 |
| circs | Hate to come bug you guys but with totem none of my videos have sound, I have sound for other applications. | 02:11 |
| Smithery2 | synaptic? | 02:11 |
| blankthemuffin | It likes to scale down when I start doing something demanding which is very annoying. | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | blankthemuffin, i recall the gnome-power-manager applet (or whatever showed the battery in the panel) I thought had that feature/settings for that. | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | cpierce: what restricted driver are you wanting to disable? | 02:12 |
| salaz | Smithery2: sudo apt-get update | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | blankthemuffin, it should scale up almost instantly. | 02:12 |
| salaz | Smithery2: and sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:12 |
| sasi | ok its working..but all windows starting from right side | 02:12 |
| Megaqwerty | circs: have you checked totem's sound level thing? | 02:12 |
| salaz | Smithery2: just say yes when asked | 02:12 |
| nickweb | quickie - how bogged down does everyones system get? I've ran my ubuntu for about a year now and its getting rather slow (almost like windows did) - and now the power button on the top right dosent work! :S | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | sasi: the list of window tabs, should have a little tab beside it.. right click it, and click "move".. and move it to the left | 02:13 |
| blankthemuffin | When it's plugged in it sits at full speed most of the time, until I start something heavily taxing like a compile and then it promptly drops back to 1.6 ( from 2.2 ) | 02:13 |
| bazhang | nickweb, you may wish to get deborphan and clear your apt cache | 02:13 |
| salaz | Smithery2: is that helps? | 02:13 |

| salaz | Smithery2: welcome | 02:14 |
| cpierce | IndyGunFreak: was working before ... | 02:14 |
| cpierce | IndyGunFreak: no i just rebooted like it told me | 02:14 |

| salaz | Smithery2: what is it says? | 02:15 |
| cpierce | IndyGunFreak: i'm asking how to turn it off | 02:15 |
| cpierce | IndyGunFreak: in console now | 02:15 |
| alpha232 | bazhang: new version, apparently they pull everything when they retire a version instead of keeping an archive.. | 02:15 |
| Smithery2 | salaz, nm it is working now | 02:15 |

| Megaqwerty | circs: (firefox doesn't count) | 02:18 |
| Smithery2 | well even pidgin goes grey | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis | grey? is that a compiz thing it does when an app hangs? | 02:19 |
| circs | Megaqwerty: Umm none that I know of. (I'm kind of a newbie so I haven't prodded to much) Is there something else I should try? | 02:19 |

| Megaqwerty | circs: try playing some music in rhythmbox | 02:19 |
| Smithery2 | dompiz is working | 02:19 |

| mark1 | !alien | 02:32 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 02:32 |
| lmartin92 | can someone help me restart mouse with out restarting everything else? | 02:32 |

| chrisdown | !dvd | 02:36 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 02:36 |
| WDC | Hey hey! I need to know which hard drive partition I am using, so I don't overwrite Ubuntu with OpenSUSE. How do I find out | 02:37 |
| heirrook | lmartin92: yes | 02:37 |
| chrisdown | !Universe | 02:37 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 02:37 |
| Megaqwerty | WDC: type mount | 02:37 |
| heirrook | lmartin92: use virtualbox, i have tried vmware, it is slow; xen is hard and not worth the trouble | 02:37 |
| lmartin92 | heirrook: thanks | 02:37 |
| lmartin92 | I will | 02:37 |
| lmartin92 | heirrook: know anything about my mouse problem? | 02:38 |
| WDC | Megaqwerty: awesome. It sez sda2 but not sda1 | 02:38 |
| heirrook | lmartin92: let me scrool up, i just caught your question out of the corner of my eye | 02:38 |
| lmartin92 | ok, thanks for considering it | 02:38 |
| Megaqwerty | WDC: well, if it says "/dev/sda2 on / type ext3" that means sda2 is your primary partition for ubuntu | 02:38 |
| chrisdown | Hi, guys. I'm trying to play DVDs, installed lib2css and all that has been suggested by various threads, but VLC stops at 0:02 and the default doesn't do anything at all. Any ideas? | 02:39 |
| WDC | Megaqwerty: So, sda1 is not Ubuntu's amirite? | 02:39 |
| lmartin92 | oh, I did try the thing with 2 different mice before I asked this question | 02:39 |
| Megaqwerty | WDC: if it doesn't mention sda1 anywhere in the output, ubuntu isn't using it | 02:39 |
| tlmiller | chrisdown, have you tried retail DVD's with the same result? | 02:39 |
| WDC | Megaqwerty: Woot. Thanks! | 02:39 |
| heirrook | lmartin92: i am not sure i understand, what is your problem with the mouse? | 02:39 |
| crackbadger | im trying to install a dual boot Ubuntu/XP SP3 system and I have Ubuntu installed and the harddrive partitioned but when I tried to install Windows setup said it couldn't detect any harddrives connected to my computer | 02:39 |
| chrisdown | tlmiller: that's what i'm trying, could it be ArcoSS? | 02:39 |
| lmartin92 | heirrook: I'm going to pm you | 02:40 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: you want libdvdcss2 not lib2css | 02:40 |
| tlmiller | chrisdown, I have no idea what ArcoSS is, sorry | 02:40 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: that may have been the problem, i'll check | 02:40 |
| heirrook | crackbadger: you need to modify your grub entries | 02:40 |
| chrisdown | tlmiller: it's sony protection, pretty common. doubt that's it | 02:40 |
| bubbles123 | how do i add my own categories in sunbird | 02:40 |
| chrisdown | tlmiller blackopus: i'll try running some other dvds | 02:41 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: try http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/ | 02:41 |
| Megaqwerty | crackbadger: I think that's a problem better suited for ##windows | 02:41 |
| heirrook | crackbadger: at this point you'll need to use a livecd and modify it through there | 02:41 |
| Johnt | how come with my installer it wont let me resize the partition? | 02:41 |
| lmartin92 | johnt: dynamic ntfs is a b* | 02:41 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: sorry, complete *nix newb here, how do i install the contents of the tar? | 02:41 |
| lmartin92 | johnt: the way to getting dynamic ntfs to basic ntfs is a long hard proccess | 02:42 |
| Johnt | so i shouldnt have installed xp with ntfs? | 02:42 |
| unop | !source | 02:42 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 02:42 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: go to that url and click on the deb/ directory | 02:42 |
| chrisdown | k | 02:42 |
| xomp | I'm getting an error on bootup, is there a logfile somewhere I can view to see what the error is? | 02:42 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: which one? | 02:42 |
| chrisdown | presumably not dev | 02:42 |
| lmartin92 | johnt: did you or did you not install xp with ntfs? | 02:43 |
| Johnt | i did | 02:43 |
| bonez46 | Here's a question: I am running my web server machine and email server.. on sarge.. I want to upgrade it to ubuntu.. can I do that and have it keep everything relatively intact? | 02:43 |
| Johnt | should i have not? | 02:43 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: double click deb/ and then double click libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb | 02:43 |
| alistair | Help: I am superuser and want to hide my login name from the switch users menu. How can I do this pse? | 02:44 |
| lmartin92 | johnt: do you understand there are 2 different types of ntfs? | 02:44 |
| blackopus | it will prompt you to save | 02:44 |
| Bossmanbeta | Would anyone know why Nautilus would stop auto-updating file-sizes and folder contents (forcing a manual refresh) ?? | 02:44 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: done, should i try vlc now? | 02:44 |
| crackbadger | k | 02:44 |
| crackbadger | heirrook: why would it have anything to do with GRUB? | 02:44 |
| crackbadger | heirrook: I have a live CD | 02:45 |
| Johnt | lmartin92 no i didnt | 02:45 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: open a terminal and type in dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb | 02:45 |
| blackopus | as root | 02:45 |
| blackopus | or sudo | 02:45 |
| chrisdown | ok | 02:45 |
| demonspork | an Asus Eee PC laptop is taking about 5 minutes to boot 8.04, does anyone know what the problem could be, and could someone direct me to the location where the boot errors would be logged to? | 02:45 |
| crackbadger | Megaqwerty: I asked in Windows they didn't help much | 02:45 |
| heirrook | crackbadger: you installed linux first and then windows right | 02:45 |
| blankthemuffin | crackbadger, it's most likely because you have a sata HDD. | 02:46 |
| woli | the pidgin deb says that it conflicts with my current installation... | 02:46 |
| Theaxiom | Anyone know a good way in Ubuntu to accomplish the same thing as peerguardian? | 02:46 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: I had the same problem with VLC before installing livdvdcss2 | 02:46 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: cannot access archive: No such file or directory | 02:46 |
| lmartin92 | johnt: pm me | 02:46 |
| heirrook | crackbadger: because if you did, it is definitely going to be something you will need to take care of in grub (unless you use lilo, then lilo problem) | 02:46 |
| blankthemuffin | crackbadger, sata is not supported fully by XP by default so you'll either need to roll your own install disk with the drivers, or turn off ACHI to install. | 02:46 |
| crackbadger | heirrook: yea Ubuntu is installed | 02:46 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: i already tried to install it by double clicking on it and installing, didn't seem to throw up any errors? | 02:47 |
| heirrook | crackbadger: do you have a separate boot partition? | 02:47 |
| woli | crackbadger: welcome to the new world | 02:47 |
| woli | i just installed it also lol | 02:47 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: will that have worked? | 02:47 |
| tlmiller | Anyone worked with bridges in ubuntu here? | 02:47 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: I was able to install XP SP2 on it | 02:47 |
| woli | it seems that ubuntu is installed twice per hour lol | 02:47 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: doesnt make sense why SP3 wont work | 02:47 |
| bonez46 | how does one upgrade, from sarge over to ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| Orbixx | bonez46: One doesn't. | 02:48 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: no, you need to type the command at the prompt | 02:48 |
| Khisanth | that isn't really up, more like sideways | 02:48 |
| blankthemuffin | crackbadger, mmm odd. | 02:48 |
| Orbixx | One does a fresh installation and backs up prior data. | 02:48 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: any idea why it isn't working? | 02:48 |
| bonez46 | Orbixx: so I'd need to back it all up and then just set up exim4 and all the rest of my email... once I install ubuntu? | 02:48 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: try sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb | 02:48 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: hope its not a hardware problem I've been having weird problems ever since I hooked a wire up from my laptop to TV | 02:48 |
| Orbixx | bonez46: Pretty much. | 02:49 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - that's what i did | 02:49 |
| Orbixx | Ubuntu and Sarge are very different. | 02:49 |
| RYknow | Can someone help me out. Can't get my SATA drives to mount at all. I also want to get my IDE HD's to mount on startup. | 02:49 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - as i said it throws up cannot access archive: No such file or directory | 02:49 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: had to reinstall Ubuntu because the harddrive LED was constantly flashing and it never stopped | 02:49 |
| Orbixx | Even though Ubuntu is Debian based. | 02:49 |
| bonez46 | RYknow: do you have SATA adapters for them. on the mobo, or is that built in? | 02:49 |
| RYknow | built in. | 02:49 |
| crackbadger | heirrook: I didn't make a boot partition only a / and /home | 02:50 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: did you save the file where you can find it? | 02:50 |
| chrisdown | desktop | 02:50 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: desktop | 02:50 |
| crackbadger | heirrook: plus a swap and the remaining space I formatted as FAT32 | 02:50 |
| blackopus | cd /home/yourusername/Desktop | 02:50 |
| blankthemuffin | Why Fat crackbadger ???? | 02:50 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: did it. | 02:51 |
| xomp | I'm getting an error on bootup, is there a logfile somewhere I can view to see what the error is? | 02:51 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: should i try now, or reboot first? | 02:51 |
| heirrook | crackbadger: when you install windows it replace the MBR with what it wants. the windows bootloader CAN boot windows (i don't know how to do it off hand) but grub needs to be reconfigured for the partition it is on to be booted to first | 02:51 |
| blackopus | try typing the command that I gave you | 02:51 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: i did | 02:51 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: i have done all that, it worked. | 02:52 |
| blackopus | cool | 02:52 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: what i mean is, now that it is installed what do i do | 02:52 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: i was gonna use half of it to share between windows and linux | 02:52 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| chrisdown | blackopus: restart or go straight to vlc? | 02:52 |
| blackopus | go straight to VLC | 02:52 |
| powertool08 | when I try to mount a blank cd I get this error: Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.. Anyone know how to fix it? | 02:52 |
| blankthemuffin | crackbadger, I just use the ext plugin for windows for that. | 02:52 |
| crackbadger | heirrook: I know how to overwrite the MBR but I don't understand how that will help XP setup detect my harddrive | 02:53 |
| blankthemuffin | heirrook, I think the problem is he can't actually the windows installer not detecting any drives, not a boot problem. | 02:53 |
| dontpanic | I have a server machine running that every once in a while seems to completely halt, is there any way to figure out what's causing it to do so? | 02:53 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: never heard of that ill look into it | 02:53 |
| blackopus | click the play button and then click on the Disc tab and click Ok and see what happens | 02:53 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - not even 0:02 now, 0:00. | 02:54 |
| heirrook | blankthemuffin: sorry, i thought i saw that there was trouble after he rebooted that it couldn't find disk to boot to | 02:54 |
| chrisdown | blackopus: and it seems to think it is an audio cd | 02:54 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: Windows is always more trouble than its worth theres probably no point playing around with this crap | 02:54 |
| heirrook | blankthemuffin: thanks for pointing that out | 02:54 |
| crackbadger | I have a server I can install windows on to play around with it | 02:54 |
| blackopus | audio cd? | 02:54 |
| blankthemuffin | crackbadger, I usually find it much much more reliable to install windows first. | 02:55 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: any other OS you recommend to fill up the remaining 80GB on my harddrive? | 02:55 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - on the bottom right it says 'audio cd - track 1' but it is def. a dvd | 02:55 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: yea at least that way the GRUB loader is configured properly | 02:55 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: it pisses me off the way windows overwrites the MBR | 02:55 |
| crackbadger | blankthemuffin: I found out a trick to fix it with the linux live CD though | 02:56 |
| kavon | Does anyone know if rc.local is ok with commands that must be run as sudo? I'm assuming since you need to be sudo to edit the file it allows the commands run right? | 02:56 |
| puppet1 | hello, am shrinking the windows partition to 19gb | 02:56 |
| puppet1 | i have a p4 2.4ghz | 02:56 |
| blackopus | Did you click the Ok button? | 02:56 |
| puppet1 | i started to do this a couple of hours ago | 02:56 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - yes. | 02:56 |
| puppet1 | so will it finish in like 1 hour? | 02:56 |
| ericksonn | hi, i have troubles with my gnome sesion after ,migration from feisty to hardy, the desktop is frozer, i think that is a nautilus problem | 02:57 |

| chrisdown | blackopus - ok, thanks. | 02:58 |
| mipstien | i am trying to get my xorg.conf file to have a list of 2 differnt types of metamodes. i have dual monitors but want to play half life and need the single screen metamodes in the xorg to make half life work... | 02:58 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - should i try with another dvd too? | 02:58 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: yes | 02:59 |
| kavon | Does anyone know if rc.local is ok with commands that must be run as sudo? I'm assuming since you need to be sudo to edit the file it allows the commands run right? | 03:00 |
| heirrook | kavon: what types of commands are you running? | 03:00 |
| Vialas | hello everyone, i need some help with scp | 03:00 |
| heirrook | kavon: settting variables, running scripts? | 03:01 |
| kavon | heirrook: sudo iptables stuff | 03:01 |
| kavon | heirrook: i also need to start my teamspeak server, it's normally run by cd ~/teamspeak, then ./teamspeak start | 03:01 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: Is it working ok? | 03:01 |
| powertool08 | when I try to mount a blank cd I get this error: Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.. Anyone know how to fix it? | 03:02 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - currently getting a dvd not with ArcoSS | 03:02 |
| blackopus | what is ArcoSS? | 03:02 |
| heirrook | kavon: it should work without it, try it and see if it works | 03:02 |
| Dedi_ | hell my copy paste is broken -.- | 03:02 |
| heirrook | kavon: without adding sudo before i mean | 03:03 |
| chrisdown | ArcoSS is Sony's copy protection system. It's pretty hard to get through. | 03:03 |
| chrisdown | blackopus | 03:03 |
| kavon | heirrook: ok, and about teamspeak, how do i make that work? ./home/teamspeak/teamspeak start doesn't work | 03:03 |
| kavon | heirrook: like in the commandline, normally i just cd to the dir then ./teamspeak start | 03:04 |
| kavon | heirrook: how should i go about doing this in the rc.local | 03:04 |
| blackopus | Try some other DVD. I am not familiar with ArcoSS. Never had a problem until I instal llibdvdcss2 | 03:04 |
| kcman | how do i brake up a large file in to smaller files like an archive | 03:04 |
| jrib | kcman: split | 03:04 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - just to let you know, the default player failed with 'internal flow error' | 03:04 |
| chrisdown | trying vlc now | 03:04 |
| kcman | jrib how do i open that and or use that "split" | 03:04 |
| jrib | kcman: cat | 03:04 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - this dvd is working | 03:05 |
| blackopus | cool! | 03:05 |
| unop | kavon, edit the /etc/rc.local file .. put your command in before the last exit | 03:05 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - no wait | 03:05 |
| kcman | jrib what is cat? | 03:05 |
| jrib | kcman: a command. Short for "concatenate" | 03:05 |
| unop | kavon, if you find even that doesn't work. you can log the command. { /home/teamspeak/teamspeak start; echo $? >&2 } 2> /tmp/teamspeak.log | 03:05 |
| jedimind | help please ... i just installed ubuntu on a secondary drive on my pc, made sure it installed the boot manager...when the install finished, the computer doesnt want to boot any more.... | 03:06 |

| chrisdown | blackopus - it stops when i try to play the movie | 03:06 |
| LimCore | hi | 03:06 |
| jedimind | i cant boot back into windows, in fact i cant even load the bios-based boot loader to select drive to boot from | 03:06 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - disregard that! | 03:06 |
| LimCore | are there plants to support ejecting CD in ubuntu? | 03:06 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Hello ppl, is there a way to install the ati radeon 7200 manually for Ubuntu???? | 03:06 |
| kcman | jrib not that i am not great full for the help but is there an gui app that i can use? | 03:06 |

| AaronMT | Hi quick question, when Ubuntu locks up and I cant ctrl-alt-backspace, I hit Alt-F2 and I'm taken to a second terminal black screen, what command can I type to kill all processes and reset my gnome session? | 03:06 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - it got stuck, but it's working now! | 03:06 |
| LimCore | I know CDs are quite novel tech but still | 03:06 |
| blackopus | WOOHOO!!!!! | 03:06 |
| jrib | kcman: I don't know | 03:06 |
| * chrisdown tries putting the other disc back in | 03:06 | |
| Smithery2 | jedimind, I had that problem today. Fixed it with the grub disk | 03:06 |
| kcman | jrib thanks | 03:06 |
| Smithery2 | jedimind, do you have that? | 03:07 |
| QickSilver_ | Wow this place is busy. | 03:07 |
| chrisdown | QickSilver_ - it always is | 03:07 |
| kavon | unop: so can i just do: sh ~/teamspeak/teamspeak start instead of cd and then ./ ? | 03:07 |
| jedimind | yeah i do ... though i turned off the computer for a few minutes out of frustration, its now bootin just fine ... | 03:07 |
| QickSilver_ | I can't install Ubuntu, I just downloaded it 3 times and burned 6 discs to try. | 03:07 |
| jedimind | though i tried like a dozen+ times | 03:07 |
| kavon | unop: just thought of that | 03:07 |
| Hika42 | Can someone tell me how to get my Ipod Touch 8 GiB to work in Ubuntu 8.04 because with the latest banshee, gtkpod, and ipod-covenience, songs don't start playing in Amarok or Banshee. Amarok kinda freezes when I generate playlists. | 03:07 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - you are a king. putting another dvd in and then putting it back in has fixed the problem. | 03:08 |
| Smithery2 | jedimind, so you're cool? | 03:08 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - thanks so much! :) | 03:08 |
| QickSilver_ | I checked the integrity of the files and two of the isos I downloaded had bad integrity and the last one didn't work at all. | 03:08 |
| unop | kavon, the meaning of ~ changes in /etc/rc.local .. you have to be expliticit about the location of the script | 03:08 |
| salaz | AaronMT: u just do f1 until f12..it will return to the normal windows | 03:08 |
| AaronMT | That doesnt work for me | 03:08 |
| kavon | unop: so, sh /home/kavon/teamspeak/teamspeak start | 03:08 |
| AaronMT | I'm looking for a commadn to kill everything and reset the session | 03:08 |
| unop | kavon, and you don't need to use sh like that if the script is set executable | 03:08 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: no problem at all. I am glad to be of excellent service. :-) | 03:08 |
| chrisdown | QickSilver_ - sounds like you are using low quality disks | 03:09 |
| kavon | o | 03:09 |

| BiNaRyCoDe | How long should it take to boot Ubuntu???? | 03:09 |
| QickSilver_ | Every disc stops at 44% install and report the same file as the problem though. | 03:09 |
| chrisdown | BiNaRyCoDe - that depends on what your setup is | 03:09 |
| zelrikriando | BiNaRyCoDe, not too long...maybe 1 minute or so | 03:09 |
| QickSilver_ | Except one since it doesn't get past the boot menu | 03:10 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Well mine is taking 5 to 10 minutes | 03:10 |
| chrisdown | BiNaRyCoDe - I run a new(ish) pc and i boot in about 30 seconds, older ones i'd say max 2 mins | 03:10 |
| salaz | how to make task like disc cleanup? deleting files that are not needed? | 03:10 |

| BiNaRyCoDe | Well when booting my loading hardware drivers fails | 03:10 |
| mstef | how do i stop an external display (VGA-out) from going blank after a period of idle time - the power options are set to never blank the screen while on a/c power - (ubuntu 8.04, intel integrated graphics, dell xps m1330) | 03:10 |
| tlmiller | does /etc/network/interfaces support static and manual entries? | 03:10 |
| outbriber | Hika42: have you gotten songs on your ipod at all? | 03:10 |
| salaz | unop: i noe bout the crontab..but is there any utilities? | 03:11 |
| unop | tlmiller, if you mean static addresses .. yes | 03:11 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - okay, i'll be leaving now to watch my dvd. thanks a lot for the help! | 03:11 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: yes | 03:11 |
| AaronMT | salaz: sudo apt-get autoremove | 03:11 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Why would "loading hardware drivers fail? | 03:11 |
| tlmiller | how do I control what 'route' gets set when the interface comes up? | 03:11 |
| unop | !info gcrontab | salaz | 03:11 |
| ubottu | salaz: gcrontab (source: gcrontab): GTK bases crontab editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.0-3.1build1 (hardy), package size 82 kB, installed size 408 kB | 03:11 |
| salaz | unop: how bout disk fragmentation? | 03:11 |
| salaz | AaronMT: ok | 03:11 |
| AaronMT | There is no disk defragmentation with ext3 file table | 03:12 |
| bastid_raZor | salaz; ext3 does not fragment. | 03:12 |
| outbriber | so when you try to play the songs on your ipod on your computer, Amarok freezes? | 03:12 |
| unop | tlmiller, you can use a post-up command in the interfaces file. see man 5 interfaces | 03:12 |
| salaz | OK | 03:12 |
| salaz | thanx | 03:12 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: yes | 03:12 |
| bofh80 | i remember the days microsoft claimed ntfs didn't need defraggin lol | 03:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | ext fragments, just not to the degree other fs's do | 03:12 |
| unop | AaronMT, that's not true | 03:12 |
| AaronMT | not the same as defined by NTFS | 03:13 |
| tlmiller | unop, I have a route showing up now, but it's wrong for my network... Will a post-up command still be required? | 03:13 |
| outbriber | Hika42: Hmm. Since it would be playing the songs over wifi (the only way as of yet with the iPod Touch), chances are it is just really slow. | 03:13 |
| unop | salaz, you don't have to worry about defragging your volumes .. most linux filesystems are quite resistant to fragmentation. | 03:13 |
| outbriber | Hika42: When I load songs onto mine, whatever program freezes for a while while it loads, it does everything very slowly over wifi | 03:13 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: so, what do you suggest? because these songs don't play at all | 03:13 |
| bofh80 | indeed, i'm living in the last 2gig of space i have, and everything still runs smoothly. even when i fill it completely. | 03:14 |
| unop | tlmiller, well, if you keep finding that a wrong route gets assigned, yes | 03:14 |
| QickSilver_ | Could anyone help me? | 03:14 |
| outbriber | Hika42: Can you copy them back from the ipod onto the computer? That would make them play faster. | 03:14 |
| outbriber | Hika42: Streaming the songs from the ipod over wifi (for some reason the ipod's wifi is pretty slow) is always going to be pretty slow. | 03:15 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: but, they have very awkward names | 03:15 |
| greenman | anyone familiar with memtest? | 03:15 |
| bofh80 | QickSilver_, does your latest downloaded ISO pass the integrity check ? | 03:16 |
| unop | !anyone | greenman | 03:16 |
| ubottu | greenman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 03:16 |
| moes | What is the equivalent of gconf-editor in KDE 3.5 | 03:16 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, None of the ones I've downloaded do, it looks like the same file. | 03:16 |
| bofh80 | QickSilver_, are you downloading the ISO from the same mirror each time? | 03:17 |
| prince_jammys | moes: system-settings | 03:17 |
| greenman | unop: sorry. I'm just wondering how many tests it does. It seems to be restarting... | 03:17 |
| jedimind | what would be the easiest way to migrate all my interface settings to another computer? my theme, arrangemenet of stuff, etc | 03:17 |
| outbriber | Hika42: making them hard to copy to the computer or you just don't want them on the computer? | 03:17 |
| unop | greenman, i believe it continues indefinitely | 03:17 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, No, the first two are from mirrors, the third from the ubuntu release website. | 03:17 |
| Circs | I'm having a problem with sound. Firefox (flash animations/youtube and so forth) have sound, but nothing else except the system does. o_0 | 03:17 |
| unop | jedimind, copy your home directory over | 03:17 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, you got the right codecs? | 03:17 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, The third ISO just stopped at 44% again. | 03:18 |
| bofh80 | QickSilver_, it might be worth giving the Alternate CD a go? | 03:18 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: i could, but i prefer to use the ipod-touch. But, if this is the only way it will suffice. | 03:18 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, I'll try it. | 03:18 |
| jedimind | unop: what parts of it are crucial, i dont want the whole home folder | 03:18 |
| mstef | why dont i have a .Trash directory? | 03:18 |
| blackopus | bofh: are you the real Bastard Operator From Hell? :-) | 03:18 |
| Circs | zelrikiando: I believe so it gave me two options when i first tried to paly a video and I downloaded both of them. | 03:18 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - you still there? | 03:19 |
| blackopus | Yes | 03:19 |
| chrisdown | I am getting no sound. | 03:19 |
| unop | jedimind, well ok. ~/.gnome* ~/.gtk* ~/.gconf* and perhaps also ~/.config* | 03:19 |
| chrisdown | for some reason i can only hear sounds on apps i run through wine | 03:19 |
| Circs | zelrikiando: Additionally I have video but no sound to go with it. | 03:19 |
| jedimind | ok cool, thank you | 03:19 |
| outbriber | Hika42: It should work eventually, it will probably 'skip' as it loads the next bit. You said it freezes when you generate a playlist, does it freeze trying to play a single song? | 03:19 |
| kbrosnan | Circs: known issue with pulseaudio https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 03:19 |
| greenman | unop: wow, really? Well, I just found the documentation and see that it has 9 tests and is almost done with 7 | 03:19 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, Any reason why the alternate is 5 MB more in size? o.O | 03:20 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: I'm trying to copy the music over from a second partition now, but its erroring up as I'm copying it. Any idea why? | 03:20 |
| greenman | hmm.. I guess I'll see how fast 8 goes. It doesn't do 9. I'd like to leave soon. | 03:20 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - just testing ALSA actually, didn't test that | 03:20 |
| greenman | If my memory is good `and it looks like it is`, then what else could be the cause of the kernel panics? | 03:20 |
| outbriber | Hika42: What is the error? | 03:20 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: was going to ask if using esd or alsa | 03:20 |
| bigsniperboy | is there any way for me to use a usb wireless card in linux, i cant load the drivers, cause there only in windows, i am really new to linux, so thanks for any help | 03:20 |
| jedimind | ow do i see another ubuntu computer on the network? when i go into network all i see is 'windows network' | 03:21 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: permission to read. Duh, that explains it. now how to fix that. | 03:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | bigsniperboy: what wireless device? | 03:21 |
| bofh80 | QickSilver_, i have no idea :) | 03:21 |
| mstef | firefox3/ubuntu 8.04 - flash videos (youtube) play for 2 seconds then freeze..all of them..and no audio..why?! | 03:21 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: i can play the music though | 03:21 |
| bofh80 | mstef, | 03:21 |
| GioZo | Hi at all | 03:21 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, Does it come with the software pre-installed? | 03:21 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - alsa beeps at me when i test it in the settings, but nothing is coming out of VLC | 03:21 |
| mstef | bofh80, yes? | 03:21 |
| kbrosnan | mstef: did you install flash 10? | 03:21 |
| bofh80 | mstef, go to www.adobe.com and down the tar.gz file they offer you for flash | 03:21 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, Like firefox and gaim? | 03:21 |
| bigsniperboy | its an off brand, model number u10h010 | 03:22 |
| mstef | figured the repository would suffice | 03:22 |
| outbriber | Hika42: So you can play the music from the ipod now? | 03:22 |
| bofh80 | QickSilver_, the final installation should come out the same. | 03:22 |
| crackbadger | is there any way to find out what type of hard drive you have with Ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | bigsniperboy: if the device is pluggedin, open a terminal and type "lsusb" no quotes, hit enter, and see if the device's chipset is found | 03:22 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, Ok, I'd try it earlier but I was worried about that. | 03:22 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: try typing esd in the terminal | 03:22 |
| chrisdown | k | 03:22 |
| bigsniperboy | ok one sec, thanks | 03:22 |
| bofh80 | mstef, flash packages in ubuntu do not appear to work properly. the install from adobe takes 4 seconds to download. 3 seconds to install | 03:23 |
| crackbadger | I need to know if my harddrives SATA but I dont wanna open up my laptop | 03:23 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, so what audio can you hear and what can you not? | 03:23 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80, I'm using my old computer for ubuntu so I can play games on windows and still have linux. | 03:23 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: no i can play the music over from my second partition, but i would still like it copied over into banshee or amarok | 03:23 |
| mstef | bofh80, ok thanks | 03:23 |
| GioZo | i have one problem, when go back from block screen (and type my password) the resolution of screen is wrong, and i must re set anytime at 1440x900 | 03:23 |
| * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ bofh80 just download flash from adobe.come.. and you're done | 03:23 | |
| outbriber | Hika42: Is the second partition on your hdd or is the second partition the ipod? | 03:23 |
| Hika42 | outbriber: hdd | 03:24 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80 Oh, does ubuntu have any good telnet clients? | 03:24 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - nope, nothing. | 03:24 |
| Circs | kbrosnan: That's the exact opposite of my issue, thanks thou | 03:24 |
| blackopus | is esound server or alsa installed on your machine? | 03:24 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Ubuntu failed to start my xserver could someone help?? | 03:24 |
| bigsniperboy | it came up with 2 things, ambit microsystems, and my mouse | 03:24 |
| bofh80 | QickSilver_, it has telnet, and shh, etc. do you mean a gui? what do you want telnet for? | 03:24 |
| xhtmlisme_ | QuickSilver_: Definition of good? | 03:24 |
| chrisdown | if by 'installed' you mean 'i can select them from the settings' then yes | 03:25 |
| mstef | how do i stop an external display (VGA-out) from going blank after a period of idle time - the power options are set to never blank the screen while on a/c power - (ubuntu 8.04, intel integrated graphics, dell xps m1330) | 03:25 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - alsa beeps when i test it | 03:25 |
| bigsniperboy | it came up with 2 things, ambit microsystems, and my mouse | 03:25 |
| Circs | zelrikiando: I can hear stuff like the littl conga drums at the sign in screen and youtube videos, but not my music of mpeg/wmvs | 03:25 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - esound server isn't installed | 03:25 |
| outbriber | Hika42: I don't know all that much about hdd partitions, so I'm not sure how to get music from there to amarok on your first partition | 03:25 |
| QickSilver_ | bofh80 Even though I like gaming in graphic intense games, I still do roleplay in MUDs so I need one that I won't lose my text in heavy RP | 03:25 |

| amanulla | in synaptic package manager cani find the name of program to install? | 03:49 |
| bazhang | emma, certainly; via unetbootin, usb, for starters | 03:49 |
| emma | !find unetbootin | 03:49 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: sure | 03:49 |
| ubottu | Package/file unetbootin does not exist in hardy | 03:49 |
| bazhang | ubuntu, where did you get the flash 10; that is not in the repos | 03:50 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: you can with apt-get also | 03:50 |
| richiefrich | or aptitude | 03:50 |
| emma | !unetbootin | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin | 03:50 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: I Used the libflashsupport package to try to fix my audio issue | 03:50 |
| blackopus | chrisdown: Sorry I could not help any further. | 03:50 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, hmm I am not sure | 03:50 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - no problem, trying some stuff from that thread | 03:50 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, What you need is mp3 support I think | 03:50 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Maybe I don't have sound for videos either | 03:51 |
| === mjponce is now known as kenami | ||
| emma | do you just put the iso file on the usb ? | 03:51 |
| emma | !usb | 03:51 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:51 |
| ubuntu | used the sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree command | 03:51 |
| bazhang | Circs, is sound set to autodetect or alsa | 03:51 |
| richiefrich | emma: you unpack it | 03:51 |
| bazhang | emma, sadly not that simple | 03:51 |
| ubuntu | should i have gone to the flashplayer website and get the tar.gz | 03:51 |
| richiefrich | flaamixer sset PCM 3+ | 03:52 |
| bazhang | ubuntu, should always install from repos | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | flash i one file | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | it is a .so | 03:52 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: C-Media CMI8738 (Alsa Mixer) | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | amixer sset PCM 3- | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | opps | 03:52 |
| emma | Someone should put on brainstorm that Ubuntu should make a usb solution that is not a rigamoral | 03:52 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - that BIN just makes it hella worse | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | emma:amixer sset PCM 3+ | 03:52 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - same results, massive console output | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | ? | 03:52 |
| richiefrich | emma: what d o you wanna do | 03:53 |
| ubuntu | still don't think that is the problem but is there a way to revert back to what it was originally | 03:53 |
| richiefrich | emma: put ubuntu on a usb stick ? | 03:53 |
| bofh80 | ubuntu, if after trying the repos' for flash it does not work. you can download it from adobe. the tar.gz yes. takes less than a minute. Personally i've never seen the flash packages in ubuntu 8.04 work from a fresh install | 03:53 |
| richiefrich | emma: it isnt hard | 03:53 |
| amanulla | ohh how to run a c program? | 03:53 |
| prince_jammys | !compile | amanulla | 03:53 |
| ubottu | amanulla: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 03:53 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: you need to comile it 1st | 03:53 |
| bazhang | amanulla, ie .net? | 03:53 |
| ubuntu | even though i reinstalled alsa and set the sound setting to alsa in system > preferences alsamixer still has pulse audio as default | 03:53 |
| zelrikriando | amanulla, did you compile it? | 03:54 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: with gcc | 03:54 |
| amanulla | noo | 03:54 |
| richiefrich | then you cant run it | 03:54 |
| amanulla | how to compile | 03:54 |

| amanulla | i dont know how t o compile | 03:54 |
| bazhang | emma, it may not allow for booting from usb | 03:54 |
| amanulla | ok | 03:54 |
| emma | I got it for very little, becaues I thought it might be fun to experiment with linux on it. It has an optical drive but no writer. | 03:54 |
| amanulla | in terminal? | 03:54 |
| bazhang | amanulla, you need to read the links we have given you | 03:55 |
| prince_jammys | it's probably described in the "compile" factoid. | 03:55 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Any thoughts? I feel like my brain is melting a bit | 03:55 |
| Dr_willis | amanulla, what is this 'program' you are trying to compile? You have a lot of basics to learn.. | 03:55 |
| amanulla | ok | 03:55 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: with make | 03:55 |
| zelrikriando | amanulla, of course...in the right directory also | 03:55 |
| ubuntu | anyone got any ideas? | 03:55 |

| richiefrich | amanulla: do you have a MAKE file | 03:56 |
| clarity_ | thanks, also. when i installed kde, wireless and everything else didn't really work right | 03:56 |
| clarity_ | is there a way to fix it? | 03:56 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: you can do it on the command line without | 03:56 |
| zelrikriando | richiefrich, dont scare him/her | 03:56 |
| richiefrich | zelrikriando: scare? | 03:56 |
| emma | bofh80: yes of course I can do that. but then I have to crawl under my desk and put the monitor back on my actual desktop pc. | 03:56 |

| blackopus | Can anybody here help chrisdown? I am not sure what else to do. | 04:00 |

| nate__ | ok i have a 500mhz intel core prossor with 256mb of ram and 20gigs of ram should i install ubuntu or should i just stay with xp? | 04:00 |
| blackopus | Ok | 04:00 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, in synaptic package manager...search for ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | I would rather use virtualbox and install ubuntu inside that.. then use wubi.. :) but thats just me. | 04:00 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - the 5th post in the thread you gave me gives me a very verbose output | 04:00 |
| carandraug | nate__: 20Gigas of RAM? | 04:01 |
| leo_away | blackopus: what's the problem? | 04:01 |
| clarity_ | wait nm | 04:01 |
| chrisdown | blackopus - and a very different output... but the same results | 04:01 |
| nate__ | sorry hard drive | 04:01 |
| Dr_willis | nate__, depends on what you want to do with it.. Im suprised Xp even runs well on that thing. | 04:01 |
| carandraug | nate__: try Xubuntu | 04:01 |
| nate__ | whats the differents | 04:01 |
| leo_away | nate__: it should work, but you're probably better off with xubuntu anyway | 04:01 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: do you want me to explain what the problem is? | 04:01 |
| quaizar | evening | 04:01 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Nope but let's throw it on there and see what happen eh? | 04:01 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: yeah, maybe I can help you | 04:02 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, what nope? | 04:02 |
| outbriber | nate_: Xubuntu is made for slow school computers, so it is less memory intensive. | 04:02 |
| quaizar | is there a way to manually add a usb capture device to system>>settings>>sound>>sound capture? | 04:02 |

| Chad | Hello I am attempting to install java following this guide: http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm | 04:02 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: I don't have that package, but I'm tossing it on there as we speak to see what happens | 04:02 |
| carandraug | nate__: xubunu uses Xfce instead of Gnome which is lighter. If you want to go extra light, you can go with Vectorlinux. Your PC will fly on that distro | 04:02 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: blackopus helped me get protected dvds to run on VLC, but there is no sound. i am currently getting output, but it doesn't seem to mention sound problems. | 04:02 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, then install that package | 04:02 |
| nate__ | well i got the live going but its really slow compared to xp that was installed im hoping that it will speed up when installed on the harddrive but would it make a big difference | 04:02 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, and see what happens | 04:02 |
| leo_away | Smithery: are you using ndiswrapper? i'm not and i connect to my network without a problem | 04:03 |
| Chad | I am having trouble as when i type this command: chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin into terminal it says no such file or directory | 04:03 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: i am about to post on the forums, i'll link you when it's up. | 04:03 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: do you get sound with other videos? | 04:03 |
| outbriber | nate_: ignore my answer, carandraug gave a better description than mine :P | 04:03 |
| gnubbie | richiefrich: thanks for the sites. 1 op was to update driver (already current), 2 op was to up watt on pwr supply. | 04:03 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: yes, i don't get anything on VLC though | 04:03 |
| gnubbie | richiefrich: sound still sratchy... think need to up pwr supply? | 04:03 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: youtube is fine, for example. | 04:03 |

| Bhavesh | which raid is best suited for 1x80G and 2X120G drives if data security is not important but max disk space is? | 04:04 |
| carandraug | nate__: it's always slower when runnig from the LiveCD. But I still think xubuntu is more appropriated to your machine | 04:04 |

| Bhavesh | Dr_willis i am at a point where i just want a central storage to share among all pc, and if i lose information on it, so be it! | 04:05 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: oh yes, about 14+ hours of troubleshooting on my end before i came here | 04:06 |
| Smithery | leo_away, removing ndiswrapper disallows me from even picking up the wifi connections it seems | 04:06 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: are you using hardy heron? did | 04:06 |
| salaz | amanulla: jus type gcc in the console | 04:06 |
| gnubbie | richiefrich: nvidia driver is already current, sound still scratchy. other suggestion in forums was to get new pwr supply with more watt. is there a 3rd option? | 04:06 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: did you ever change it to anything else than pulseaudio? | 04:06 |

| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: neither of my mics will work, plug in nor usb device, using oss 4.1 for x-fi | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, check out the software raid/lvm guide then i guess.. good luck.. and backup stuff you want to keep.. you will need backups | 04:06 |
| Guest63982 | hi | 04:06 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: all other sound working fine | 04:06 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: it was on 'auto', so i tried some others | 04:06 |
| leo_away | Smithery: because you need to get the firmware and install new drivers | 04:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Anybody know what packages are needed to run C# in ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| Guest63982 | this chat is of linux os? | 04:06 |
| richiefrich | gnubbie: nope not that i can find | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, you may want to raid the 2 identical drives for data.. and use the smaller as a boot/os drive | 04:06 |
| amanulla | amanulla@amanulla-laptop:~$ gcc | 04:06 |

| bazhang | Guest63982, ubuntu yes | 04:06 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: it's on ALSA | 04:07 |
| Bhavesh | Dr_willis well in that case the question is can you create stripe set with 3 drives of different size? | 04:07 |

| amanulla | how? | 04:07 |
| leo_away | Smithery: tell me what that line says | 04:07 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, theres hardware raid with limits, then software raid with different limits.. I dont reaally use raid much any more.. since 500gb hds are $90 :) | 04:07 |

| Bhavesh | Dr_willis point well taken :) at the moment i am trying to be cheap use what i have :) | 04:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, perform an "lspci" and a "lsusb" in a terminal then use pastebin to show me the output... ensure you have all the devices plugged in. | 04:08 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: i showed you how | 04:08 |

| Guest63982 | help me | 04:09 |
| Dr_willis | Chad, use the 'tab' key to complete the name properly | 04:09 |
| Guest63982 | one question | 04:09 |
| Bhavesh | Dr_willis this is my similar effort, i have stacks of hdd sitting around that i am not using.. i am setting up a raid with mirror on same server for important data, and striped set for something i don't care much about | 04:09 |
| bazhang | salaz, what is that | 04:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, give me a moment so as to see if anything rings a bell... | 04:09 |
| bazhang | salaz, dont type that here | 04:09 |

| Chad | Dr_willis: I coppied the command straight from the guide | 04:09 |
| richiefrich | Chad: so | 04:10 |
| richiefrich | Chad: it is wrong | 04:10 |
| leo_away | Smithery: be careful with the quotation marks on wordpress... wordpress uses some weird quotation marks, so if you copy paste the commands remember to change the quotation marks to regular ones | 04:10 |
| Dr_willis | Chad, it expexts you to read and THINK... it says <version> and it expects you to use the proper version # | 04:10 |
| cjones | what do i have to do for ubuntu to see the camera i just pluged in to usb? | 04:10 |
| Smithery | leo_away, I have removed ndiswrapper, should I have it installed before I do this? | 04:10 |
| Smithery | I will fix the quotes | 04:10 |
| Chad | Dr_ woops i never noticed | 04:10 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: any ideas on the outputs i linked you to? | 04:10 |
| leo_away | Smithery: no, this method doesn't use ndiswrapper at all | 04:10 |
| Dr_willis | Chad, Why do you need to mess with the java .bin files anyway? | 04:10 |
| gnubbie | richiefrich: cool, thanks for the input. <sigh> off to the store again! | 04:10 |
| richiefrich | lol | 04:11 |

| salaz | how to hack into this ubuntu irc server???hahahahha | 04:11 |
| bazhang | Chad, install from repos; rpm stay away from | 04:11 |
| richiefrich | Chad: anything in <> or FOO and BAR | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | Chad, all the java stuff should be in the repos and thats a .rpm.bin - all it does will decompress to a .rpm which you DONT want. | 04:11 |
| bazhang | salaz, please stop | 04:11 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: i'll find something | 04:11 |
| richiefrich | Chad: means you need CHANGE It | 04:11 |
| salaz | Chad: use alien | 04:11 |
| RobertSpencer | cjones: It depends on your camera. Can you mount it as a drive? | 04:11 |
| salaz | bazhang: okok | 04:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, hmm... tis a puzzler.. I think I will have another look and if nothing is apparent I'll advise you to keep trying and also keep the forum post active. | 04:11 |
| bazhang | salaz, no need for alien here | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | silly java rpm.bin all the bin does is make you say YES to the EULA then makes the .rpm if i rember right. | 04:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, as I'm sure you've been doing anyway :P | 04:11 |
| salaz | bazhang: if he wnat to use for converting the rpm package | 04:12 |
| bazhang | salaz, no. not for java | 04:12 |
| salaz | bazhang: owh ok..i didnt read it | 04:12 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: thanks, let me add that in vent through wine i get some distorted high pitch noise through the sound card and the usb is an option but the mic overrides it | 04:12 |
| leo_away | who wants to install java? why not use the repos? | 04:12 |
| bazhang | salaz, please dont give advice if you are not paying attention. | 04:12 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: in wine config it also shows the usb and the sound card, odd that sound prefrences does not | 04:13 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Ok it finished finally, should I reboot or anything? | 04:13 |
| salaz | bazhang: its not an advice,,jus suggestion | 04:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, I hate OSS sound dont really use it much myself | 04:13 |
| Smithery | leo_away, I've fixed the (4) quotations and it has stalled here /b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o | 04:13 |

| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: well if i didn't have to i wouldnt be | 04:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, yes that is very odd | 04:13 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: but thats creative x-fi for you | 04:13 |
| leo_away | Smithery: sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w “$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR” wl_apsta.o that's the command | 04:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, although its that bloody X-Fi card also | 04:14 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: I get no output. | 04:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, lol | 04:14 |

| chrisdown | i see it fine | 04:15 |

| richiefrich | amanulla: someone can if you open ssh and give access | 04:15 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: and ip .. well ip isnt needed unless you have a cloak | 04:16 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: i get no audio on the ogg either, but it plays fine otherwise. perhaps it's just a soundless video | 04:16 |
| masbejox | halo | 04:16 |

| Taek-Laptop | how can I fix my display adapter issue, ubuntu doesn't reconize it | 04:16 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: go to jamendo.com and just get any ogg song | 04:16 |
| greenman | This is frustrating, I've pretty much ascertained that it's the wireless card causing the panics, but only when I actually connect to a router. I can't find anywhere to fix this... | 04:16 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: don't know if that is a starting point or not for the mic | 04:16 |
| jrr | what's the best way to resize an ext3 partition (parted can't do it) ? | 04:16 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: then try playing it on vlc | 04:16 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: what about trying mp3? | 04:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, hmm... I have had to actually comment out that line a few times | 04:16 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: i have a good few of those lying around anyway | 04:17 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: yeah, same thing | 04:17 |
| amanulla | i need some one to login remotely to get my problem solved in runnibg a c program | 04:17 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: im thinking getting that working is more realistic than plug in mic because i have seen nothing about anyone getting that to work | 04:17 |
| Flannel | jrr: parted can. You just need to have the partition unmounted, so you probably need a liveCD | 04:17 |
| === Taek-Laptop is now known as Taek | ||
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, odd.. perhaps a fresh install of your sound hardware | 04:17 |
| bofh80 | mstef, checked your screen savers incase set to blank screen? | 04:17 |
| amanulla | is there any one? | 04:17 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: but you will have to install codecs or smth... i believe | 04:17 |
| Flannel | jrr: And if you're using a liveCD, might as well use gparted, since the GUI is a lot easier | 04:17 |
| Bhavesh | ok what's best way to use 2x80gb and 2x120G drive? :) assuming that the 80g drive i am testing is good :) | 04:17 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: you mean take it out and put it back in? | 04:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, you'd almost need a "testing" environment | 04:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lol | 04:17 |
| jrr | Flannel: it complains about an unsupported ext3 feature, and somebody in #parted said the ext3 support is not up to date | 04:17 |
| GrnFraggle | Anyone know how to get Intrepid? | 04:17 |
| amanulla | bazhang: not a good idea for what? | 04:18 |
| Flannel | Bhavesh: If you want 1x400GB to work with, you can use LVM to tie them all together. | 04:18 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, nope | 04:18 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: already got codecs | 04:18 |
| Paddy_EIRE | quaizar, the driver | 04:18 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, i would just set them up as 3 different samba shares. and let them stay seperate | 04:18 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: ok, yeah, try an mp3 | 04:18 |
| mstef | bofh80, im an idiot - thank you | 04:18 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: it plays, but no sound - there is output | 04:18 |
| Flannel | jrr: Ah, well, they'd know more than I would | 04:18 |
| Smithery | leo_away, Worked this time. reboot? | 04:18 |
| bazhang | amanulla, dont offer your computer to complete strangers | 04:18 |
| jrr | Flannel: thanks anyway =] | 04:18 |
| amanulla | ok | 04:18 |
| leo_away | Smithery: yup... that should do it | 04:18 |
| bofh80 | mstef, we've all been there before :) | 04:18 |
| amanulla | can u do it for me | 04:18 |
| greenman | anyone have problems with wireless cards causing kernel panic upon connection? | 04:18 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: pastebin it | 04:18 |
| amanulla | bazhang: | 04:18 |
| grdnwsl | Taek-Laptop: Could you clarify what you mean by Ubuntu not finding your adapter? Do you get a desktop when you boot, or does it just drop you to a command-prompt? | 04:18 |
| amanulla | can u? | 04:18 |
| bazhang | amanulla, read the links for compiling, dont expect to learn it here. | 04:18 |
| Smithery | thank you! | 04:18 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: even better, i'll post it in the thread for others | 04:18 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: yup, def better | 04:19 |

| richiefrich | amanulla: if your learning C then learn it | 04:19 |
| richiefrich | amanulla: why have someone do it for you | 04:19 |
| Dr_willis | When learning C - it will take some reading... and lots of reading. | 04:19 |

| chrisdown | bazhang - stopping :P | 04:24 |
| platyhelminth | do floodbots work ? | 04:24 |
| chrisdown | illmortal - it will flood soulja-boy.net with ping requests. DO IT | 04:24 |
| Dr_willis | illmortal, it will teach you to not type in commands 'people tell you to run' for starters | 04:24 |
| illmortal | nah I'm not running that lol | 04:24 |
| carandraug | alistair: could you please be more specific? | 04:25 |
| chrisdown | dr_willis - i'll run that if he doesn't, lawl. | 04:25 |
| illmortal | lol chrisdown. | 04:25 |
| leo_away | illmortal: heh | 04:25 |
| bazhang | !ot | 04:25 |

| chrisdown | illmortal - idle chat elsewhere please | 04:25 |
| Bhavesh | how's this 2 striped set, 2x80 and 2x120 and use LVM on top? | 04:25 |
| alistair | carandraug, Hi I go to home and can see the other user account I set up. I want to modify their .thunderbird contents but it says I dont have permission | 04:25 |
| Taek | grdnwsl -> http://taek.pastebin.com/m34a3643 | 04:25 |
| chrisdown | leo_away - gonna poke around in vlc | 04:26 |
| Theaxiom | How do I switch which version of JRE my computer is using if I have multiple installed? | 04:26 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: settings > preferences > audio > output modules | 04:26 |
| Taek | this is my first time at running linux as a desktop so scuse my slowness | 04:26 |
| alistair | carandraug, I thought since I log in as admin that would give me permission? | 04:26 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: change those and see if any one of them works | 04:26 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Well I'm going to say this is a lost cause ATM. How about this, i can BUY a new soundcard :) Question is what should i get to just play some freaking music | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | Theaxiom, i recall that !java factoid giving the proper commands to do that. | 04:26 |
| Theaxiom | !java | 04:26 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 04:26 |
| carandraug | alistair: what do you mean admin? You're logged in as root? | 04:26 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: ALSA, OSS, pulseaudio... w/e | 04:27 |
| alistair | carandraug, yep | 04:27 |
| Theaxiom | Thanks Dr_willis | 04:27 |
| grdnwsl | Taek: It looks like you're running an old laptop. S3 cards don't support desktop effects, unfortunately. | 04:27 |
| chrisdown | leo_away : try it with the ogg video or the mp3? | 04:27 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, i may be confused but i thought the point of lvm was sort of to make it where you dident have to do a hardware raid. | 04:27 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: yeah, any media file with sound | 04:27 |
| Taek | grdnwsl what about some kind of acceleration? | 04:27 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, a hardware raid makes all the disks show up as 1 disk, (i thought) | 04:27 |
| Taek | perhaps openGL ? | 04:27 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, it is likely a software issue... | 04:27 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: if that doesn't work then I have no idea... maybe try alsamixer and check that the sound is not mute and that the volume is all the way up | 04:27 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, dont give up...stick aroung...go on forums | 04:27 |
| alistair | carandraug, actually, probably not I will have to check I log in as my own name but I set everything up so assumed I was admin. | 04:28 |
| zelrikriando | around even | 04:28 |
| Dr_willis | !lvm | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 04:28 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Yeah probably, but maybe there is a way around it by using a differnet sound card? | 04:28 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: shouldn't the number of output channels be >0? | 04:28 |
| Bhavesh | Dr_willis i have read a good how to that explains how you can setup RAID and use LVM on top to manage the raid so you can slice it or combine raid into larger volume | 04:28 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, no I dont think that's the case | 04:28 |
| carandraug | alistair: you mean your user is root? If so, you SHOULD be able to do whatever you please. Is /home mounted as read-only? | 04:28 |
| leo_away | Circs: I don't know what your problem is, but if you can't find a solution consider filing a bug in launchpad | 04:28 |
| Dr_willis | Bhavesh, err... so you are merging the disks.. to just repartion them back into smaller disks? | 04:28 |
| Uplink | omg i just pressed a key and my window frames are gone! | 04:28 |
| Bhavesh | Dr_willis or something :) i forget the exact advantage | 04:29 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: beats me | 04:29 |
| Bhavesh | http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php | 04:29 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: but i would say so | 04:29 |
| alistair | carandraug, no you are right I am logged in as Alistair, but not as root. Thanks kindly. | 04:29 |
| Taek | grdnwsl i've seen people talking about OpenGL accelerations in this older laptops | 04:29 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Oh. I think I'm going to go stab myself a bit then. Lol. I'm a big time newb on Linux so I just feel really lost. | 04:29 |
| chrisdown | leo_away : changed to pulseaudio with 32 channels, was 9 | 04:29 |
| chrisdown | *0 | 04:29 |
| carandraug | alistair: no problem. Glad to help | 04:29 |
| smithery2 | leo_away, I'm getting somewhere as the connection was working for a second. however it was very shotty and dropped me | 04:30 |
| Uplink | please someone help, all my windows frames are gone! i pressed something | 04:30 |
| grdnwsl | It is possible. | 04:30 |
| grdnwsl | You might need to find a driver for it, though. | 04:30 |
| carandraug | Uplink: try run in a terminal "compiz" | 04:30 |
| grdnwsl | I don't know if Hardy includes accelerated support in the newer versions | 04:30 |
| Taek | grdnwsl thanks I will search for that. | 04:30 |
| leo_away | smithery2: does this work in any other OS? i had a similar problem and it turned out the router was poop | 04:30 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: One last gambit. i am using a pci sound card because my onboard produced zero sound | 04:30 |
| carandraug | Uplink: or "metacity" if you don't use compz. Or whatever window manager you use | 04:31 |
| smithery2 | yes worked fine on Vista (dual boot) | 04:31 |
| Uplink | carandraug, omg thanx! | 04:31 |
| grdnwsl | Taek: I don't know if this link will work or not, but I found it in a thread for Dapper in ubuntuforums. | 04:31 |
| Uplink | compiz-fusion carandraug | 04:31 |
| leo_away | Circs: did you disable the onboard one from the bios? | 04:31 |
| grdnwsl | v | 04:31 |
| carandraug | Uplink: did it work? | 04:31 |
| Uplink | yes ty! | 04:31 |
| Uplink | but how did that happen? | 04:31 |
| quaizar | Paddy_EIRE: reboot | 04:31 |
| Uplink | :( | 04:31 |
| Taek | grdnwsl loverly link lol | 04:31 |
| zelrikriando | Circs, but you told me you had some sound before no? | 04:31 |
| amanulla | my screen brightness reduces when ever i login in ubuntu 8.04 what to do? | 04:31 |
| grdnwsl | Yeah | 04:32 |
| === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik | ||
| grdnwsl | Running xchat under OS X and the copy-paste apparently doesn't work so well in X11 apps. | 04:32 |
| Taek | ah | 04:32 |
| carandraug | Uplink: you probably killed it somehow. Or it crashed. If you can do it again and find what made it crash, please care to fill a bug report | 04:32 |
| Circs | zelrikriando: Yes i got none from the onboard (plus it was fuzzy in the past with windows) so i just slapped in an old pci unit I had, i didn't disable it in the bios, maybe this is my magic solution | 04:32 |
| douma | hi i just install Ultimate Edition 1.8 on my laptop and i dont have any sound any help pls | 04:32 |
| Uplink | carandraug, what if i close the terminal? | 04:32 |
| amanulla | douma:what ultimate edition? | 04:33 |
| carandraug | Uplink: don't! You'll kill compiz | 04:33 |
| leo_away | Circs: disabling it in the bios should work. ubuntu is most likely trying to use your onboard card | 04:33 |
| Uplink | carandraug, i dont want it on my screen! >:| | 04:33 |
| prince_jammys | Uplink: 'disown' | 04:33 |
| Uplink | disown? | 04:33 |
| douma | amanulla http://www.ultimateedition.info/uu/ | 04:33 |
| Jordan_U | douma: Ubuntu ultimate is not an official version of Ubuntu, it is a horrible hack, I recommend not usingit | 04:33 |
| prince_jammys | Uplink: compiz & disown | 04:33 |
| Uplink | prince_jammys, what? | 04:33 |
| grdnwsl | http://drivers.s3graphics.com/en/download/drivers/legacy/SavageMX-IX_290-229/Savage_4.0.3_binary.tgz | 04:33 |
| grdnwsl | You might need to check out their site in general... there might be updated drivers available. | 04:34 |
| chrisdown | leo_away - shall i try another dvd? | 04:34 |
| carandraug | Uplink: I've my desktops full of them. Minimize it. Or, try open a new one and run "compiz -replace &" | 04:34 |
| Taek | says file doesn't exist | 04:34 |
| leo_away | Uplink: alt+f2 then run the compiz command | 04:34 |
| grdnwsl | There should be under-scores where the spaces are | 04:34 |
| Taek | grdnwsl thanks if I need futher help i'll be back | 04:34 |
| Uplink | thank you :D | 04:34 |
| grdnwsl | kk | 04:34 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: if you don't get sounds with mp3s then another dvd is not going to solve anything | 04:34 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: is my thoughts. | 04:35 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: hahaha, it works! | 04:35 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: only for this dvd though | 04:35 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: o.O | 04:35 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: my thoughts too | 04:35 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: want an output? | 04:35 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: I have no idea what's going on there... | 04:35 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: vlc outputs are too cryptic | 04:35 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: unless it wanted new media before it would change the setting | 04:36 |
| smithery2 | leo_away, thanks for all he help | 04:36 |
| chrisdown | leo_away | 04:36 |
| chrisdown | oh wait | 04:36 |
| chrisdown | it's not running in vlc | 04:36 |
| chrisdown | it's opened in the default, but it wouldn't do that before so that is good enough | 04:36 |
| leo_away | smithery2: i hope you can make your connection stay up | 04:36 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: what app is it running on? | 04:36 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: don't know what it's called, whatever is default | 04:36 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: 'Movie Player' | 04:37 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: no, no sound on VLC with that dvd either | 04:37 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: oh, ok... use that now then, haha | 04:37 |
| salaz_ | chrisdown: it is totem | 04:37 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: haha | 04:37 |
| smithery2 | leo_away, it's not my connection it is the firmware | 04:37 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: i don't use gnome... i don't even use ubuntu | 04:37 |
| chrisdown | salaz_: that's the one :P | 04:37 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: well i usually run netbsd but i thought i'd take the plunge | 04:37 |
| leo_away | smithery2: yeah, i meant i hope you can make your wifi card maintain a connection while on ubuntu | 04:37 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: before i go i must check whether the dvd i am actually trying to play is playeble in totem | 04:38 |
| chrisdown | *playable | 04:38 |
| smithery2 | it worked in Drake | 04:38 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: i installed ubuntu on another machine and totem didn't seem like a bad guy... | 04:38 |
| chrisdown | leo_away | 04:39 |
| chrisdown | oh mah lawd | 04:39 |
| Jangari | a process called captfilter, which i believe is related to a printer i gave up on installing, is sucking *all* my cpu, it consistently runs at 99%. When I kill the process, it just restarts a few minutes later. Can I stop captfilter for good somehow? | 04:39 |
| leo_away | smithery2: maybe file a bug on launchpad, or check if there is any bug report for your card | 04:39 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: did it work? | 04:39 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: it's working on totem | 04:39 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: : ) | 04:39 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: thanks a million | 04:39 |
| smithery2 | leo_away, thanks. how can i find the bug report? | 04:39 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: that vlc thing bothers me tho... haha | 04:39 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: after 5 hours of trying to fix this (that's actually 5 hours, really) it is done! | 04:40 |
| leo_away | smithery2: launchpad.net | 04:40 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: thanks a million, going to watch the dvd | 04:40 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: enjoy the movie | 04:40 |
| chrisdown | i will :P | 04:40 |
| chrisdown | bye | 04:40 |
| leo_away | o/ | 04:40 |
| smithery2 | leo_away, k thanks for all you've done man | 04:41 |

| greenman | okay I'm not finding anything, can someone please help me? As soon as I connect to the internet, I get a kernel panic. I can't figure out how to solve this... | 04:42 |
| Chad | A brand new dvd and it says cannot read from source | 04:42 |
| leo_away | Chad: original [aka encrypted] dvd? | 04:42 |
| bazhang | salaz_, try vlc then | 04:42 |
| jahnkeanater | is there a program that works better than wine that is free | 04:42 |
| leo_away | Chad: you can install libdvdcss2 unless it's illegal in your country | 04:42 |
| Chad | leo_away: yup brand new straight from wal mart | 04:43 |
| jahnkeanater | ok can i make wine work better some how | 04:43 |
| Chad | I dunno I live in canada | 04:43 |
| bazhang | www.medibuntu.org for that chad | 04:43 |
| salaz_ | bazhang: i alredy installed those and can play dvd..i think ur referring to other people | 04:43 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: donations for winehq? | 04:43 |
| bartzak | After updating the system my display resolution dropped down to 1024x768. The higher resolution is not available under System>Preferences>Screen Resolution. | 04:43 |
| jahnkeanater | what | 04:43 |
| bazhang | jahnkeanater, ask in #winehq | 04:44 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: if you donate money the developers can work more on it, hence they deliver a better product | 04:44 |
| leo_away | Chad: idk, i live in argentina, libdvdcss2 is legal here | 04:44 |
| Chad | leo_away: what is libdvdcss2? | 04:44 |
| jahnkeanater | if i wanted to spend money i would buy that other program cedaga or w/e it is | 04:44 |
| jahnkeanater | can i install drivers on wine | 04:45 |
| leo_away | Chad: it decrypts the dvd. in USA it's illegal because of the digital millenium copyright act | 04:45 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: you don't need to buy cedega, it's free | 04:45 |
| jahnkeanater | it is | 04:45 |
| bazhang | leo_away, no its not | 04:45 |
| jahnkeanater | where can i find it | 04:45 |
| Circs | DMCA a way of saying you don't own what you've bought | 04:45 |
| leo_away | bazhang: it is free to use it. you can pay money to vote what app you want them to support | 04:45 |
| bazhang | lets take chat elsewhere | 04:45 |
| jahnkeanater | wait is that the other win program thing or am i thinking of something else | 04:46 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: the one for games | 04:46 |
| Chad | leo_away: How would i go about installing it? | 04:46 |
| jahnkeanater | yea | 04:46 |
| leo_away | Chad: add the medibuntu repo | 04:46 |
| bazhang | chad go to medibuntu.org dont need the repo | 04:46 |
| jahnkeanater | wine dosent have sound i think i have to set up drivers for it but i havent played with it to mutch | 04:46 |
| grdnwsl | Chad: Or 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras' | 04:46 |
| grdnwsl | at a command-prompt | 04:47 |
| bazhang | !dvd | Chad | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Chad: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 04:47 |
| prince_jammys | that doesn't include libdvdcss2 | 04:47 |
| grdnwsl | Medibuntu repo works too. | 04:47 |
| rendy | badung | 04:47 |
| greenman | okay this is the error I got in dmesg right before the kernel panic: wlan0: tx error 0x20, buf 10! (excessive Tx retries due to either distance to high or unable to Tx or Tx frame error - try changing `iwconfig txpower XXX' or 'sens'itivity or 'retry') | 04:47 |
| cryptk | I have a question for you guys, I am wanting to run my own web anonymizer/proxy for a friend to use... but I am looking for one with a web interface... along the lines of how www.hidemyass.com works, any ideas? | 04:47 |
| greenman | does this mean anything to anyone? | 04:47 |
| chrisdown | leo_away, you still there? | 04:47 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: ylp | 04:47 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: s/ylp/yup | 04:47 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: audio is ~3 seconds out of sync | 04:48 |
| chrisdown | ideas? | 04:48 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: there might be a key to adjust that in totem. i know smplayer has that functionallity | 04:48 |
| jahnkeanater | is cedega 6 free | 04:48 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: i'll look around | 04:48 |
| chrisdown | jahnkeanater: I don't know, but wine is superior. | 04:49 |
| prince_jammys | !cedega | jahnkeanater | 04:49 |
| ubottu | jahnkeanater: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 04:49 |
| chrisdown | !totem | 04:49 |
| jahnkeanater | so if i set up wine i can get it to work better | 04:49 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 04:49 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: winecfg to config wine | 04:49 |
| jahnkeanater | could my wine be out dated | 04:50 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: wine --version | 04:50 |
| jahnkeanater | 1.0 | 04:50 |
| leo_away | jahnkeanater: winehq provides an ubuntu repo for latest version, in case you want to try that | 04:50 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: apparently the solution is to change the gstreamer audio output to ESA | 04:51 |
| debCarlos | jahnkeanater: you-re up to date, mine is 1.0 too, just installed it | 04:51 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: how do i do that? | 04:51 |
| blawok | i | 04:51 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: i use aRTs with alsa on KDE, I have no idea how that works in gnome | 04:52 |
| chrisdown | i'll take a look | 04:52 |
| leo_away | debCarlos: there is a newer version of wine, but not in the repos | 04:52 |
| kavon | how do i make a shared folder on my ubuntu server (via ssh)? I don't need to worry about windows computers accessing it. | 04:52 |
| debCarlos | leo_away: which ? | 04:52 |
| leo_away | kavon: just make the user trying to access the folder have permissions to enter the folder | 04:53 |
| leo_away | debCarlos: nvm, the newest version is a development version | 04:53 |
| kavon | leo_away: ok, then it would allow me to map it or w/e to show on my desktop as a remote folder? | 04:54 |
| jahnkeanater | so how do i make wine look better and have sound | 04:54 |
| debCarlos | leo_away: oh, ok | 04:54 |
| kavon | leo_away: can u point me to the proper command to read the man pages about it? | 04:54 |
| chrisdown | man wine? | 04:54 |
| jahnkeanater | can i install directx10 and sound drivers | 04:54 |
| debCarlos | jahnkeanater: downlaod a theme and the sound.... uh... i don't know :) | 04:54 |
| chrisdown | kavon - sorry, wrong person | 04:55 |
| jose__ | hi all, the luvcview driver works with v4l? | 04:55 |
| greenman | okay this is the error I got in dmesg right before the kernel panic: wlan0: tx error 0x20, buf 10! (excessive Tx retries due to either distance to high or unable to Tx or Tx frame error - try changing `iwconfig txpower XXX' or 'sens'itivity or 'retry') | 04:55 |
| kavon | jahnkeanater: you can't install direct x on wine, it will mess stuff up | 04:55 |
| greenman | does this mean anything to anyone? | 04:55 |
| leo_away | kavon: i never tried doing that graphically, i use cli for ssh | 04:55 |
| greenman | I have been all over the google, I can' t find anyting | 04:55 |
| chrisdown | kavon - isn't directx already on wine? i run with dxlevel8 for tf2 | 04:55 |
| Bhavesh | hmm would LVM alone be worth looking into to concatenate the drive capacity? | 04:55 |
| Flannel | Bhavesh: yes | 04:56 |
| kavon | leo_away: ya how do i do via cli, i just though about it i can ssh with ubuntu's connect thing and it has a gui of the folders | 04:56 |
| vince_ | hi | 04:56 |
| leo_away | kavon: ssh -p PORT USER@SERVER | 04:56 |
| leo_away | kavon: and... just navigate wherever you want to go | 04:56 |
| Xeon3D | good evening\afternoon\morning. | 04:56 |
| mythu | hello | 04:56 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: not confirmed, but i think a seek has corrected the sync | 04:56 |
| Bhavesh | Flannel thanks.. as i asked earlier, trying to maximize space for single volume with 2.x80 and 2x120g drives | 04:56 |
| grdnwsl | greenman: if you're getting a kernel panic when the machine is attempting to change your wireless card parameters, it's possible that you could have a problem with your wireless card's driver. | 04:56 |
| jahnkeanater | can wine run 3dsmax | 04:57 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: it may happen again after a while... | 04:57 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: confirmed, a seek fixed it | 04:57 |
| grdnwsl | greenman: what card do you have? | 04:57 |
| Xeon3D | Does someone know what's the name of the package, that shows you the system specs and stats on a webpage using apache? | 04:57 |
| jahnkeanater | what abought x64 programs | 04:57 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: i'll just seek again :P | 04:57 |
| mythu | hey can anyone help me? | 04:57 |
| kavon | chrisdown: http://www.winehq.org/site/about wine does not use directx, it pretends to be directx and sort of translates it so ubuntu can work with the program | 04:57 |
| chrisdown | chrisdown: okay, thanks for the help | 04:57 |
| leo_away | chrisdown: i think that happened to me too when i used totem. i did seek again when that happened | 04:57 |
| chrisdown | whoops | 04:57 |
| chrisdown | leo_away: thanks for the help | 04:57 |

| dmoerner | utnubu_user, impossible | 05:03 |
| ugeerthan | Hi guys i have a problem with full screen games it says input signal out of range | 05:03 |
| mythu | it just cuts off signal to the monitor | 05:03 |
| Xeon3D | ty Bhavesh! | 05:03 |
| dmoerner | unless you can boot of a floppy or a cd that points to the usb for the files | 05:03 |
| dmoerner | ugeerthan, you repeated your question 5 times. good work. | 05:03 |
| AaronChen | quit | 05:03 |
| Bhavesh | Xeon3D you are welcome that's the one i have used, it is decent | 05:03 |
| Awsoonn | what's the best way to figure out what nvidia driver supports my card | 05:03 |
| * amal029 says vim is not just a command line editor, it is wayyyyy more | 05:03 | |
| Daisuke_Ido | then the resolution the game's trying to run at isn't supported by your monitor | 05:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | amal029: yeah, it's a cult | 05:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | Awsoonn: go to nvidia and go through their selector | 05:04 |
| grdnwsl | ugeerthan: That message usually means that the computer is trying to use a resolution or refresh rate that the monitor cannot handle. | 05:04 |
| leo_away | amal029: no, it's a command line editor that *can* do way more | 05:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Awsoonn: what card? | 05:04 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, so it is not true the documentation on internet that says it is possible? They suggest to load grub and try to boot from there. I don't know. If it possible? | 05:04 |
| Circs | Hey just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's helped me get ubuntu working on my machine. (pretty much everyone here at one time or another.) so TY! | 05:04 |
| Kiyiko | php6th i be pming you:( | 05:04 |
| Awsoonn | LSD|Ninja: why didnt I think of that :P I've been in linux land too long... I didn't even think to go to the manufacture page | 05:04 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, you can't boot from a flash drive if your bios doesn't support from it. you could boot from grub and have it point to a file on the flash drive | 05:04 |
| mythu | how do u change a games resolution before launching it? | 05:04 |
| carandraug | Daisuke_Ido: indeed. They fight a holy war against the infidels, Emacs users | 05:04 |
| Awsoonn | Daisuke_Ido: 6800GT | 05:04 |
| mythu | for example urban terror | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | awflame08: nvidia-new-glx | 05:05 |
| leo_away | utnubu_user: that's what he told you. boot from something else that points to usb | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | err... | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nvidia-glx-new | 05:05 |
| leo_away | mythu: that's up to the urban terror configuration and not a general case | 05:05 |
| Awsoonn | Daisuke_Ido: oh, I'm running intrepid, so I need the accuall number :/ | 05:05 |
| grdnwsl | mythu: there might be a command-line parameter that will allow you to do that. | 05:05 |
| leo_away | carandraug: VI VI VI, editor of the devil | 05:05 |
| bazhang | Awsoonn, #ubuntu+1 for that | 05:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ah, you should be fine with 169 | 05:06 |
| chao1 | Hi. I am having trouble with a computer I am setting up for a family member. I need to set up nvidia Geforce4 with a higher resolution than 640 x 480 | 05:06 |
| utnubu_user | ok guys. That is true. I did not explain myself, sorry : (. So, does anyone know how can I point then to a file that is on a usb to boot an OS? | 05:06 |
| chao1 | any clues? | 05:06 |
| Merther | For the USB booting thing could one flash the bios and put on an open bios that may support USB booting? | 05:06 |
| grdnwsl | you might need to check the documentation of the game to find out if that sort of parameter is available, and if so, how to use it. | 05:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | chao1: install nvidia-glx | 05:06 |
| Phantom77 | evening | 05:06 |
| carandraug | leo_away: hahahaha! I'm learning vi now. It's mind blowing | 05:06 |
| dmoerner | carandraug, it's the best | 05:07 |
| dmoerner | but real men use vigor | 05:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | Awsoonn: nvidia say 173.14.12 for GF6 series, no idea where that falls under Intrepid though | 05:07 |
| leo_away | carandraug: vitutor | 05:07 |
| chao1 | Daisuke_Ido: which one? | 05:07 |
| jahnkeanater | ok i dont know if i can fix this but in wine i get like a low refresh rate for my mouse so its buggy looking | 05:07 |
| leo_away | carandraug: i haven't tried emacs yet, so i can't say anything about it | 05:07 |
| carandraug | leo_away: yeah. That's what I'm using to learn. Thanks for the tip anyway | 05:07 |
| chao1 | Daisuke_Ido: just the meta package? | 05:07 |
| leo_away | carandraug: np | 05:08 |
| utnubu_user | I tried from grub> root (hd1,0), but does not recognize hd1-9 | 05:08 |

| utnubu_user | ohh, I have a root filesystem, of course | 05:11 |
| LimCore | hello | 05:11 |
| LimCore | does ubuntu have something like winamp, but which is not 100% crap like say audacious | 05:11 |
| bender1337 | LimCore, zmms | 05:11 |
| bender1337 | LimCore, xmms | 05:12 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, then just have a normal grub with root= pointing to the usb drive | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | !xmms | 05:12 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. | 05:12 |
| dmoerner | bender1337, xmms is not in hardy | 05:12 |
| s_spiff | xmms | 05:12 |
| dmoerner | LimCore, how many features do you want? you could try any of audacious, bmp, exaile, banshee, rhythmbox, alsaplayer, amarko, etc. | 05:12 |
| Kiyiko | limcore i allways found rhythembox to be good.... | 05:12 |
| LimCore | wtf | 05:12 |
| LimCore | there is a shitload of programs xmms-* | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | LimCore, the ghost of xmms still haunts us | 05:13 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, the problem is that I can not find the usb. Do not know how to find it, or how its recognized. An hdd is recognized as hd | 05:13 |
| LimCore | but no alone xmms | 05:13 |
| haydn1 | Try Songbird, it's very WinAmp like | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | LimCore, correct. | 05:13 |
| LimCore | dmoerner: I want it to 1) play music 2) not be crap | 05:13 |
| LimCore | players I tested so far failed this goal | 05:13 |
| dmoerner | LimCore, you are clarifying nothing with these statements. | 05:13 |
| bazhang | LimCore, please dont use that tone. | 05:13 |
| Bhavesh | use mplayer it plays music :) | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | LimCore, try the other players out then. You may want to lose the crap attitude also. | 05:13 |

| dmoerner | utnubu_user, lsusb? look at dmesg? | 05:14 |
| grdnwsl | LimCore: Audacity... looks / functions similarly to xmms... even supports xmms skins. | 05:14 |
| grdnwsl | Audacity == Audacious | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | I perfer songbird, or bmpx | 05:14 |
| grdnwsl | Audacity is something completely different. | 05:14 |
| LimCore | grdnwsl: audaious has broken gui. for yera. despite my bug report | 05:14 |
| LimCore | *year | 05:14 |
| bazhang | LimCore, not here. | 05:15 |
| clarity_ | yo | 05:15 |
| grdnwsl | LimCore, you're always welcome to roll your own xmms for Ubuntu. | 05:15 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I not very familiar with linux, so I do not know how to do it. Sorry to bother. Do you know of a tutorial that could show me that? | 05:15 |
| LimCore | rhymbox fails to play files I try to open with it (instead adds to stupid list). audacious has broken gui. | 05:15 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, i can't think of any tutorials off the top of my head that explain that. sorry. | 05:15 |
| LimCore | xmms is called xmms2 now? | 05:15 |
| bender1337 | LimCore, Beep Media Player | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | xmms2 is the replacement for xmms, its a more complex server/client system | 05:16 |
| bazhang | !attitude | LimCore | 05:16 |
| ubottu | LimCore: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:16 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, all right, well, do you know of a command or method to identify the usb? | 05:16 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, i just gave you two. try "lusb" or "dmesg | less" and look for the device when you plug it in | 05:16 |

| grdnwsl | dmoerner: ubuntu_user: you can also do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and look for the device. | 05:17 |
| LimCore | ok... audacious works quite well, despite looking fugly (user needs to have magnifying glass) | 05:17 |
| LimCore | I guess in geeks world "double" means x1.3 (zoom in in audacious gui) | 05:18 |
| clarity_ | i keep getting this error when i try to remove a package: http://nopaste.com/p/a7f519VJn | 05:18 |

| bender1337 | otchster, hi | 05:19 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, now look through dmesg for something matching that string | 05:19 |
| Trinithis | Is there something like compiz fusion's color filter without running compiz fusion? | 05:19 |
| Dr_willis | clarity_, could try the --force option i guess.. looks like somthing else has removed files it was going to remove.. and thus its complaining.. | 05:20 |
| murlidhar | i am not able to enable my internet from my ethernet card . how to enable eth0 .? | 05:20 |
| clarity_ | dr_willis: --force for apt-get? | 05:20 |

| clarity_ | dr_willis: yeah I followed a tutorial for installing kde, and it broke it | 05:21 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: no | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | clarity_, i though ti was removing.. :) you could of summarized the thing.. Heh | 05:21 |

| Dr_willis | clarity_, installing kde -> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop is about all i ever do. | 05:21 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41757/ | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | clarity_, I belive theres some force option to apt-get remove, but i never have needed it. | 05:22 |
| clarity_ | yeah... this tutorial said to use aptitude... | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | aptitude would allow easier removeal of kubuntu-desktop afterwards.. but i rarely use aptitude, of course i rarely remove anything | 05:22 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I think I got it ->http://paste.ubuntu.com/41760/ | 05:22 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, yes that's it | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | Ive had 'issues' with aptitude in the past. :) | 05:22 |
| dmoerner | aptitude is the king | 05:23 |
| prince_jammys | i think those issues have been resolved | 05:23 |
| clarity_ | yeah, me too... | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | aptitude decided to remove 300+ packages one day.. and then reinstall them... :) still not sure why it did that. | 05:23 |

| joanki123 | ? | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | joanki123, theres many iso burner tools for windows. | 05:24 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41759/ for lshw | 05:24 |

| Bhavesh | joanki123 you have to burn it using software as an image | 05:24 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, well, so, can I locate the usb hdd using grub>root (sd4,0), or how? | 05:24 |
| joanki123 | i also have the gutsy install cd... is it ok if i just use that instead of using the new hardy download (using upgrade option)? | 05:24 |
| bender1337 | joanki123, what program are you using | 05:24 |

| LimCore | audcious leaves opened icons in tray after opening files with it. how to fix? | 05:25 |
| joanki123 | i just found a virus on my current ubuntu | 05:25 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, if you have /boot on the hard disk then that should be root when you set up grub. | 05:25 |
| === ce_jomblo_18 is now known as b_cr_f_sby | ||
| joanki123 | some darned internet program that keeps sending ads to me | 05:26 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. | 05:26 |
| bazhang | joanki123, right click open with cd/dvd creator (on the iso file) | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | LimCore, its staying running in the background. check its settings to see if its disablable. | 05:26 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, it says that there is no recognized drive, or something like that, don't remeber exactly | 05:26 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, was it ever working | 05:26 |

| linux_user400354 | my graphics in ubuntu are stuck at 600x800 | 05:27 |
| clarity_ | i did that tutorial to install ubuntu, and then i uninstalled it using the same tutorial | 05:27 |
| joanki123 | bazhang, is it also ok that i use the gutsy cd and upgrade? | 05:27 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, how can you tell the usb hdd was recognized on hd2? | 05:27 |
| bazhang | clarity_, what does that mean? answer here please | 05:27 |
| joanki123 | or is it better to do a straight install? | 05:27 |
| linux_user400354 | help | 05:27 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, grub does not discriminate between hda and sda and counts from 0 | 05:27 |
| clarity_ | now when I boot, it doesn't start up gdm, and apt-get isn't working | 05:27 |
| bazhang | joanki123, you need the alternate hardy cd for that | 05:27 |
| dmoerner | clarity_, what do you mean that "apt-get isn't working" | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | linux_user400354, #1 - tell the channel whats your video card.. and if you have installed the restricted-drivers for that card yet. | 05:27 |
| prince_jammys | clarity_: check for a bug report/fix for the package that caused the error. | 05:27 |
| clarity_ | apt-get is generating this error: http://nopaste.com/p/a7f519VJn | 05:28 |
| LimCore | Dr_willis: dont see no such option | 05:28 |
| djhash | will I be able to copy files from a remote computer to the local computer if I ssh into it? | 05:28 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, yes, but how do you know the location (0-X)? | 05:28 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, guess | 05:28 |
| eug1 | Hey guys, I am new to ubuntu and am currently using it via wubi. just wanted to say hello and introduce myself | 05:28 |
| clarity_ | it tries to remove kio-umountwrapper everytime i do anything | 05:28 |
| djhash | !hi | eug1 | 05:28 |
| ubottu | eug1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:28 |
| bazhang | eug1, welcome to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:28 |
| Bhavesh | would apt-get -f install fix it? | 05:28 |
| clarity_ | so apt-get install banshee doesn't work because it'll try to remove that package first | 05:28 |
| dmoerner | if it's sdc that means it's the third drive and c is the third letter in the alphabet, so 0, 1, 2. | 05:28 |
| linux_user400354 | Dr_willis, fx 5200 and yes, i have installed the restricted drivers but after trying to fix my xorg.conf, the driver isnt in use :( | 05:29 |
| Dr_willis | LimCore, could be a extension/plugin - I dont use taht app. and im not at a machine where i can check it out. The programs homepage/faq may have some info. | 05:29 |
| bazhang | clarity_, what package | 05:29 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, : s, well I already tried root (hd[0-9],0) with no results. | 05:29 |
| joanki123 | actually i'd prefer to get rid of the bug that is spying on my computer, bazhang any idea how to do that? | 05:29 |
| joanki123 | i'll have to reinstall all the libraries again and that could be a problem | 05:29 |
| bazhang | joanki123, there is no spy on your computer | 05:29 |
| LimCore | omg | 05:29 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I'll keep searching. Thanks | 05:29 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, that only works if you already have /boot on that drive with the stage files and with a bootstrappable partition type | 05:29 |
| dmoerner | if the usb drive is ntfs or fat you can't do it | 05:29 |
| joanki123 | bazhang, whenever i have firefox open, i get all these pop up ads | 05:29 |
| clarity_ | apt-get -f doesn't work and kio-umountwrapper | 05:29 |
| Dr_willis | linux_user400354, so has the res ever been correct? | 05:29 |
| LimCore | I swear, I will make a list of which ubuntu audio player fails the most and why | 05:29 |
| clarity_ | is the package | 05:30 |
| joanki123 | even when i am not on a harmful site | 05:30 |
| clarity_ | it appears that it's already uninstalled | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | joanki123, try making a new user.. see if affect them also. | 05:30 |
| joanki123 | it caused a system crash | 05:30 |
| dmoerner | bazhang, thank you | 05:30 |
| joanki123 | when i tried to log in again, bazhang, it says it could not recognize my A/C adaptor. and then i did a diagnostic and rebooted again - all the files on my desktop were gone. i rebooted again and it was fine, but the pop up ads continued | 05:30 |
| Belboz99 | I've had that before too joanki123, without the desktop items being gone | 05:31 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I think I already have. I installed ubuntu using the live cd to the usb hdd doing 4 partitions: /, /home (for files), swap, and ntfs | 05:31 |
| linux_user400354 | Dr_willis, never, i just reinstalled ubuntu tonight to try to fix it | 05:31 |
| bazhang | joanki123, enable popup ad block in ff and install adblockplus as well | 05:31 |
| joanki123 | what can i do to make sure that everything is fine on my computer without reinstalling a thing | 05:31 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I installed ubuntu under / | 05:31 |
| joanki123 | Belboz99, how did you fix it? | 05:31 |
| joanki123 | bazhang, it doesn't just pop up when it does, it takes over | 05:32 |
| === murlidhar is now known as Guest41710 | ||
| joanki123 | it maximizes the ad on my screen and the only way i can get rid of it is to alt tab | 05:32 |
| bazhang | joanki123, please paste a screenshot | 05:32 |
| joanki123 | and right click close | 05:32 |
| joanki123 | when it happens again i will | 05:32 |
| Belboz99 | joanki123: are you referring to an Ubuntu-created popup? | 05:32 |
| joanki123 | Belboz99, no, i am not | 05:32 |
| eug1 | hello guys | 05:32 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, sorry i totally misunderstood your problem. you need to install grub on the drive in the computer, which means putting /boot on that drive as well | 05:32 |
| joanki123 | the last was a car ad | 05:32 |
| Belboz99 | oh, sorry | 05:32 |
| joanki123 | no ads currently, but i am wondering if i should be worried that something in mjy system is now corrupt | 05:33 |
| Belboz99 | I was having a problem with my UPS so it kept on telling me that :-P | 05:33 |
| eug1 | sorry about that, after i sent my last message my laptop crashed | 05:33 |
| bazhang | joanki123, no. | 05:33 |
| eug1 | so i had to restart | 05:33 |
| joanki123 | bazhang, how do i know that? | 05:33 |
| bazhang | joanki123, get adblockplus ff plugin and noscript plugin | 05:33 |
| joanki123 | ok fine | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | linux_user400354, all ive ever done to get my 4+ nvidia cards going was 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings nvidia-glx' (or nvidia-glx-new) and basically restart the machine. I then used nvidia-settings to tweak the thing. or the nvidia-xconfig tool to tweak the thing a little. | 05:33 |
| Hyuukai | Hey i was wondering if someone could help me, i have tried quite a few different usplash's off gnome-look but none seem to work? | 05:34 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, its simple. I want to boot ubuntu from my usb hdd. I: have grub installed on my laptop. Bios does not support booting from usb. I just want to point to the usb from grub | 05:34 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: how are you installing them? | 05:34 |
| bazhang | utnubu_user, is there an os on there now | 05:34 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, yes. you need to put the grub stage files on the hd in the laptop, and install grub to the mbr of that hard disk | 05:34 |
| Hyuukai | just downloading them then going on startup-manager? | 05:34 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: sorry lost my electricity | 05:35 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, yes. That's how I have it right now. | 05:35 |
| ramiro | buenas noches amigos ubunteros | 05:35 |

| bazhang | !es | ramiro | 05:35 |
| ubottu | ramiro: 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. | 05:35 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, that means that in grub the root command should probably be (hd0,0) | 05:35 |
| ramiro | ok | 05:35 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, exactly | 05:35 |
| ramiro | disulpa es q es mi primera vez | 05:36 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I have ubuntu and windows | 05:36 |
| Trinithis | I mounted my window's partition, and now it won't let me unmount it. How can I? | 05:36 |
| ramiro | me puedes decir como entro a ese canal | 05:36 |
| Hyuukai | belboz99 how am i meant too? | 05:36 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, what is the error you get when you run grub -> root (hd0,0) | 05:36 |
| debCarlos | ramiro: pon /join #ubuntu-es | 05:36 |
| bazhang | ramiro, /j #ubuntu-es | 05:36 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: it worked in gutsy , now since again i got broadband i want it for hardy too :( | 05:36 |
| joanki123 | bazhang, thanks i did that. i really hope that solves it | 05:36 |
| ramiro | ok | 05:36 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, does it work on hardy livecd | 05:36 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: err i don't have it now | 05:37 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: sorry, doing some research on it | 05:37 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: seems that's the right way to do it | 05:37 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, that would be the best test | 05:37 |
| ihcus | how can i force a partition in linux that is not closed properly in windows.....moreover it is not booting in vista | 05:37 |
| ihcus | pls gelp guys | 05:37 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, don't remeber the error, but does not load. I have windows in (0,0); /home in (0,1) and /boot in (0,2) | 05:37 |
| Xeon3D | can anyone test if this loads? (phpsysinfo) -> http://81.84.199.12:82/phpsysinfo/index.php | 05:37 |
| Hyuukai | For some reason they just dont work :( maybe its because i have set the res or bits of colours wrong? | 05:37 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: how can i download it . i am using internet from my cellphone's modem which is too slow . | 05:38 |
| dmoerner | Xeon3D, it works | 05:38 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: it would take me 7 days to download the livecd | 05:38 |

| bender1337 | hi, i am working on a cartoon theme in ubuntu i have gartoon icons and a cartoon back ground does anyone know what else i could get to improve my theme | 05:38 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, you are connected router or directly to dsl modem with your computer | 05:38 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, the thing is that I do not know how to point to the usb hdd. I tried (hd1,0), to (hd9,0) | 05:38 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: also there is no one near who has a broadband installed | 05:38 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, you want hd0,0) | 05:38 |
| Qster | order a cd | 05:38 |
| bazhang | bender1337, ask in #ubuntu-artwork | 05:38 |
| amanulla | murlidhar:what u want? | 05:39 |
| amanulla | to down load? | 05:39 |
| MeI | hello | 05:39 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/modules includes a line: "# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded | 05:39 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: ??? | 05:39 |
| bazhang | amanulla, no | 05:39 |
| Hyuukai | bender1337, awn icons, emerald theme, menu bar's, login screen, splash | 05:39 |
| MeI | How can i increase the speed of my ubuntu | 05:39 |
| Trinithis | Whenever I sleep my computer using the button on my keyboard, the computer will never wake up. How can I fix this? | 05:39 |
| murlidhar | amanulla: i need my ethernet to be enable | 05:39 |
| dmoerner | bullgard4, is that a problem? | 05:39 |
| bazhang | MeI, how much ram | 05:39 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, ok, right, then how can I load the usb drive? hd0 is the internal laptop hdd | 05:39 |
| MeI | i believe i have 2g | 05:39 |
| quentusrex_lapto | Does anyone know if it is possible to have the unique openvpn certs(unique to each laptop) all named the same thing? This way the openvpn client configurations could all be put into a deb package? | 05:40 |
| bazhang | MeI, what is slow | 05:40 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, you put root=/dev/sdc1 in the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:40 |
| Hyuukai | has anyone successfuly changed there usplash? | 05:40 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, bingo! | 05:40 |
| MeI | 2 g mem | 05:40 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/modules includes a line: "# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded at boot time, one per line." Why are there so many names of moules missing and still loaded? | 05:40 |
| dmoerner | bullgard4, udev handles most module loading automatically | 05:40 |
| MeI | bazhang, 2 gig mem | 05:40 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: I just changed mine, but I'd have to restart to make sure it worked | 05:40 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, if that works then you should switch to UUIDs | 05:40 |
| bazhang | MeI, what is slow | 05:41 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i have dlink 502T adsl modem for my broadband . now can i connect it through usb for the time being till the problem gets solved | 05:41 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, so it means that I have to mount the drive first, right? | 05:41 |
| Hyuukai | im going to restart once more to see if this one has worked | 05:41 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, mount the drive to do what? | 05:41 |
| MeI | bazhang, it was freezing up a little, so i restarted. | 05:41 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, does it allow for that? | 05:41 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I mean, I need to mount the external drive while I am under ubuntu on my internal hdd, so it can be recognized as sdc? | 05:41 |
| MeI | bazhang, it seemed that the video output is slow, however, i have 512 video card | 05:41 |
| IntangibleLiquid | does it make sense to spend $1500 for a server that serves 20 thin clients on Edubuntu? I mean, does the price justify? | 05:41 |
| bazhang | MeI, without very specific info no way to help you; it's slow could be caused by a variety of factors | 05:42 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: well i don't know but in windows i can connect it from both usb mode and ethernet mode. | 05:42 |
| MeI | bazhang, maybe i have too much programs in startup | 05:42 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:42 |
| eug1 | Hey guys, I know it may sound silly, but can anyone give me some good websites to check out, they could be about linux or ubuntu. I am just a bit bored at the mo. with nothing to do | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | dmoerner: Why does udev not load the module hdaps atomatically? | 05:42 |
| quentusrex_lapto | IntangibleLiquid, It would make sense if you were able to save: 1500/20=$75 on each of the thin clients. | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | dmoerner: Why does udev not load the module hdaps automatically? | 05:42 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, this is dual boot? | 05:43 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: yes | 05:43 |
| IntangibleLiquid | quentusrex, thanks, that makes sense! | 05:43 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, the way i am describing does this: it puts /boot on the internal hd with grub on that mbr. grub will then load the external drive as /. you should put the internal drive mounted as /boot in /etc/fstab, so that it mounts that as well later | 05:43 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: the ISP is yet to give username and password . | 05:43 |
| LimCore | which audio players support setting per-file volume (and autoloading that)? | 05:43 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, and the reason you dont download ubuntu hardy iso in windows is? | 05:43 |
| quentusrex_lapto | IntangibleLiquid, also think about this. You'll have to manage only one set of configurations. rather than 20. | 05:43 |
| LimCore | (like winamp did) | 05:43 |
| dmoerner | bullgard4, i don't know. it doesn't have a persistent rule written for it maybe? maybe because default hdaps is useless? | 05:43 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: the ISP is yet to give username and password . | 05:43 |
| IntangibleLiquid | quentusrex, that's so true | 05:43 |
| Hyuukai | Ok that didnt work! and i have two really annoying things to ask about | 05:43 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, then that is the issue | 05:43 |
| IntangibleLiquid | quentusrex, and I only need to upgrade 1 computer to make others run faster | 05:44 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I apologize for being such an ignorant, but what did you mean by "switch to UUIDs"? | 05:44 |
| bazhang | quentusrex_lapto, IntangibleLiquid please take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:44 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: but it should atleast selfping | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | !uuid | utnubu_user | 05:44 |
| ubottu | utnubu_user: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:44 |
| bullgard4 | dmoerner: Where are the rules for udev laid down? | 05:44 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, well "/dev/sdc1" might work now but if you plug in other devices it might switch the naming conventions. UUIDs are persistent through hotswapping | 05:44 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang, I don't think it's entirely off-topic | 05:44 |
| Hyuukai | one is i have my panel at the top without expand on when i login from a restart its and the bottom and when i try properties top it switches back to bottom, i have to press expand then top then get rid of expand? :S and my screenlets daemon when i click it appears in awn then dissapears | 05:44 |
| dmoerner | bullgard4, /etc/udev/rules.d i think | 05:44 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, how does this relate to ubuntu support. | 05:44 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i am able to ping to my router from windows but not from linux | 05:44 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid, I have asked nicely twice... | 05:45 |
| dmoerner | bullgard4, the module is named hdaps_ec on ubuntu anyway | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | utnubu_user, using uuids is getting to be the 'new' way to defind mounts based on unique uuid #'s of filesystems. :) so you dont missmount a drive to sda one day.. then sdb the next.. | 05:45 |
| BrickJingle | murlidhar what program are you using to manage your network connections ? | 05:45 |
| quentusrex_lapto | Does anyone think that the conversation about thin clients is off topic for this channel? | 05:45 |
| BrickJingle | standard gnome nm-manager or wicd or something similar? | 05:45 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: The answer is simple: If I would not use Ubuntu, the question which I put, would not have arisen. | 05:45 |
| murlidhar | BrickJingle: lxnm | 05:45 |
| bender1337 | is there a cartoony gtk theme | 05:45 |
| bazhang | quentusrex_lapto, yes | 05:45 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, Now I got it. I will try that. Thank you very much. And sorry for so many questions... | 05:46 |
| quentusrex_lapto | anyone other than bazhang? | 05:46 |
| segagman | hello i was wondering if any one knows how i can share an internet connection. i have a ubuntu box connected directly to my adsl modem and i have a pci nic inside so i have internet on eth0 and the nic is eth1 what i want to do is hook a netgear router up to eth1 and share the internet thu the buntu box any help would be greatly appreciate google has not help thus far.... | 05:46 |
| BrickJingle | i had problems with wicd, it woudlnt see my windows shares or ping anything all i had was internet, could be similar to what you are haing | 05:46 |
| BrickJingle | having* | 05:46 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, no problem. it's always hard to communicate a complex setup like this over irc. | 05:46 |
| Hyuukai | anyone? | 05:46 |
| amanulla | how to configure VMWARE? | 05:46 |
| murlidhar | BrickJingle: my ethernet is not getting enabled . | 05:46 |
| amanulla | anyone / | 05:46 |
| BrickJingle | hmm | 05:46 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I agree with you ;) | 05:46 |
| dmoerner | bullgard4, why do you want hdaps anyway? it needs extra setting up no matter what you do | 05:46 |
| Belboz99 | segagman: I reccomend a firewall such as arno-iptables-firewall | 05:46 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i am able to ping to my router from windows but not from linux | 05:47 |
| Hyuukai | i have my panel at the top without expand on when i login from a restart its and the bottom and when i try properties top it switches back to bottom, i have to press expand then top then get rid of expand? :S and my screenlets daemon when i click it appears in awn then dissapears | 05:47 |
| Belboz99 | segagman: most firewall apps allow you to route traffic much like a router does | 05:47 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, you need the info from isp. | 05:47 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: to be more precise . i the gateways is 192.168.1.1 | 05:47 |
| amanulla | murlidha:what type of connection is yours? | 05:47 |
| quentusrex_lapto | bazhang, I guess not. IntangibleLiquid. Also keep in mind the ability to upgrade storage. You'll be able to toss in a couple of drives to increase storage rather than 20 smaller drives. | 05:47 |

| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang, what does Ubuntu run on? thin air? | 05:50 |
| === etotheipi is now known as Fawkward | ||
| BrickJingle | with a wired external wireless adaptor you usually have to log into it with a web browser | 05:50 |
| === Fawkward is now known as etotheipi | ||
| Hyuukai | Ubuntu runs on the tears of squirrels | 05:50 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: sorry, I don't use screenlets | 05:50 |

| tyler | can someone help me get my wireless working on my lenovo laptop...i already viewed the ubuntu documentation | 05:51 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: yese | 05:51 |
| carandraug | php6th: you had it to fstab | 05:51 |
| Hyuukai | bellboz99 never used KDE | 05:51 |
| BrickJingle | kde 4 always made my laptop unusable lol | 05:51 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, is this wireless or wired? | 05:51 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: it's all built in automagically | 05:51 |
| Hyuukai | bellboz99 have only just got used to gnome and still find a few things that don't wanna work | 05:52 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: wired | 05:52 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: that's becuase Gnome wasn't built for things like Screenlets | 05:52 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: can i connect my adsl router from usb mode | 05:52 |
| Hyuukai | belboz99 does kde still run stuff like synaptic? i don't really know the difference | 05:52 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, with isp info it is unlikely to work | 05:52 |
| segagman | ok i got a nother question is it safe to install nubuntu to a eeepc 900 from a external dvd drive? i dont want to trash the bios | 05:52 |
| nyu_ | I have a problem with a friends PC. I installed ubuntu via Wubi on it and now because I tried to fix that it often didn't shut down completely, I can't start it again. I just get a BusyBox telling me that the root.disk does not exist. I have winXP on the PC as well but no CD drive, so I wonder how to repair this file? | 05:53 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, without rather | 05:53 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: means | 05:53 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, what does lshw -C network tell you? | 05:53 |
| nyu_ | can someone help me? | 05:53 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41759/ | 05:53 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: all yoru current apps would remain, you'd have a bunch of new KDE apps as well, it doesn't even require a re-install, just installing an additional desktop: | 05:53 |
| Belboz99 | http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/ | 05:53 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i know the gateways and dns address . | 05:54 |
| Hyuukai | belboz99 which do you use? | 05:54 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: also mtu | 05:54 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: and VPI and VCI values | 05:54 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: I've used Gnome for the majority of the past 5 years, but I've been trying out KDE this past few weeks, it just looks better with the 4.1 release | 05:54 |
| bazhang | segagman, sure it is safe; you can read the wiki at www.eeeuser.com for more on that. | 05:54 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, tmi,,, next time just lshw -C network | 05:54 |
| segagman | why dose wubi run slower than a strait up live disc install? ty baz | 05:55 |
| php6th | Help, is that ok what i added in FSTAB ? /dev/sda2 /steelgunner/ini ext3 | 05:55 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: but it is already on line 1060 | 05:55 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, without any isp pass it does not matter. | 05:55 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: but it is already on line 106 | 05:55 |
| Hyuukai | belboz99 ok and how do i install this additional desktop cause i wanna keep gnome as well? | 05:55 |
| Belboz99 | sure, that's no problem | 05:55 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, and disabled... | 05:55 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: atleast i should be able to ping to my router if not ISP . | 05:55 |
| Bhavesh | php6th do you really want it to be mounted at /steelgunner/ini directory? | 05:56 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: yes that's exactly i want to enable it | 05:56 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, you can ping the router but the modem will not get the pass info so no internet | 05:56 |
| player2 | networking q, not completely ubuntu-specific, but i figure people here would be knowledgeable. which is the correct model? http://paste.ubuntu.com/41767/ | 05:56 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 | 05:56 |
| php6th | Bhavesh: yeah | 05:56 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i am not able to ping to the router . | 05:56 |
| php6th | Bhavesh: the parameters are ok? or am i missing something | 05:56 |
| bazhang | player2, please describe briefly here | 05:56 |
| Bhavesh | php6th you have to add two more parametrs to the file | 05:56 |
| tyg13 | I have purged the demon of ibex from my comp | 05:56 |
| player2 | Basically, does a switch introduce a bottleneck, or can devices communicating across the switch use the full gigE bandwidth between each other? | 05:57 |
| bazhang | tyg13, #ubuntu+1 for that | 05:57 |
| tyg13 | bazhang: I did, no one said anything | 05:57 |
| Bhavesh | php6th it's device mount point , type, dump , pass | 05:57 |
| bazhang | player2, using two nics? | 05:57 |
| nyu_ | no one who has an idea what to do? | 05:57 |
| bazhang | tyg13, that is the correct channel not here | 05:57 |
| Hyuukai | belboz99 so i follow this and it wont get rid of gnome? | 05:57 |
| Bhavesh | eeks forgot option | 05:57 |
| tyg13 | bazhang: Argh, you ruin the fun :D | 05:57 |
| player2 | bazhang: no, each device is using 1 nic | 05:57 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: so, you'd want to open the Repositories dialog in Admin, (or is it Sources?) and then installl kubuntu-desktop | 05:57 |
| tyg13 | And I also fixed my 10 gig swap file | 05:57 |
| dmoerner | tyg13, don't expect people to respond to a flamebait post about ibex | 05:58 |
| player2 | there are really only 3 devices | 05:58 |
| Bhavesh | php6th you are missing 3 options from it | 05:58 |
| php6th | Bhavesh: what should i fill on those 3 options? | 05:58 |
| tyg13 | dmoerner: I was only kidding :( | 05:58 |
| Bhavesh | php6th i normally do defaults 0 0 | 05:58 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: oops, open the repo's dialog, add that repo, then install the kubuntu-desktop :-P | 05:58 |
| Hyuukai | beloboz99 can i pm you? | 05:58 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: please make my comp ping to the router . | 05:58 |
| sploh | hmm | 05:58 |
| Belboz99 | Hyuukai: sure | 05:58 |
| Bhavesh | php6th so it would be /dev/sda2 /steelgunner/ini ext3 defaults 0 0 | 05:58 |
| amanulla | my laptop brightness decreases when in login in ubuntu 8.04 what to do? | 05:58 |
| amanulla | help me | 05:59 |
| greenman | can someone tell me where the hell cd lives? I can't sudo cd | 05:59 |
| php6th | Bhavesh: thank you a lot, now i need to reboot? | 05:59 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: the router address is 192.168.1.1 | 05:59 |
| dmoerner | greenman, it's a bash builtin. | 05:59 |
| arquebus | greenman- cd means change directory | 05:59 |
| Bhavesh | php6th no you don't just type sudo mount /steelgunner/ini | 05:59 |
| dmoerner | greenman, to use it as a super user requires starting a root shell | 05:59 |
| sploh | use the laptop adjust brightness keys | 05:59 |
| greenman | I know that, I need to figure out how I can sudo it | 05:59 |
| greenman | ah | 05:59 |
| greenman | like sudo bash? | 06:00 |
| FAJALOU | amanulla: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/100549-laptop-brightness-issue.html | 06:00 |
| amal029 | sudo su | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | do not use 'sudo bash' | 06:00 |
| dmoerner | greenman, sudo -i | 06:00 |
| Cpudan80 | greenman: sudo -i | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | use sudo -i | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:00 |
| greenman | thanks | 06:00 |
| murlidhar | lol | 06:00 |
| Cpudan80 | be careful when using sudo -i | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | and yes theres a reason for it sudo -i :) | 06:00 |
| Cpudan80 | You will remain rooted until you unroot yourself | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | set up a big flashing root prompt in the terminal flashing red 'Danger Danger' :) | 06:01 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, look at but dont change yet,,, /etc/network/interfaces | 06:01 |
| segagman | about my network issue. what i want to do is kinda like the thing were you can share connection to xbox360 with wif with ubuntu but i want it to hand an adress to my router. like in winblows were you just click share internet conection the plug eth cord to whatever you want. is ther a n easy way to share under ubuntu? | 06:01 |
| utnubu_user | dmoerner, I have a last question. How can you add an extra text line in Grub? I tried adding an extra title line, but it is not showed | 06:02 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: k | 06:02 |
| ganes1 | how do i fix problem with usr/lib... | 06:02 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 06:02 |
| FAJALOU | !explain | ganes1 | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about explain | 06:02 |
| FAJALOU | ganes1 we need more information then that, can you articulate your problem | 06:02 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: what is busted with it? | 06:02 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: shall i pastebin it ? | 06:03 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: it doesn't show eth0 | 06:03 |
| utnubu_user | anyone knows how can I add an extra text line in grub? I want to add just a single extra text line... | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | utnubu_user, the grub menu.lst lets you have lines that dont really do anything but work as a comment/label | 06:04 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, pastebin plz | 06:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Dr_willis: I think he literally means a blank line in the menu | 06:04 |
| ganes1 | FAJALOU: Cpudan80:http://paste.ubuntu.com/41768/ | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | utnubu_user, they do get counted as a entry | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | put in a line ' ' as the title? | 06:04 |
| dmoerner | utnubu_user, i don't quite understand your question. if you want a blank line in the menu then put a line with a bogus title and nothing else | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | ie: quote space quote? | 06:05 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41769/ | 06:05 |
| segagman | share a internet connection from ubuntu to a router...there is a way im shure....but i am missing something | 06:05 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: that's not a problem with usr/lib | 06:05 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, empty? 1 sec | 06:05 |
| ganes1 | FAJALOU: problem is when i close firefox even internet client closes...hence internet connection in few minutes | 06:05 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: that's a bad programmer who didn't free his memory properly | 06:05 |
| utnubu_user | I want to add just an extra line. I tried adding another line starting with 'title -textline-', but it is doesn't show | 06:06 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: no there are six lines in it. | 06:06 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: Or maybe you compiled it from the source with missing/broken dependencies ? | 06:06 |
| FAJALOU | ganes1: so when you shutdown firefox, you loose internet connection? | 06:06 |
| ganes1 | FAJALOU: after 2-5 mins | 06:06 |
| SeaPhor | bazhang, murlidhar 's eth0 is disbled,,, not an ISP issue from what i see, can you help? | 06:07 |
| utnubu_user | Dr_willis, how can I add a comment line on grub? what is the format? | 06:07 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80: it was not workin in the beginning.. i modified as some 1 suggested | 06:07 |
| FAJALOU | ganes1 that may have to do with network-manager, not FF | 06:07 |
| Cpudan80 | modified what? | 06:07 |
| bazhang | SeaPhor, that is an odd ethernet adapter; trying to get him to dl the hardy iso to test but he refuses :) | 06:07 |
| segagman | How do you share a internet connection in ubuntu? | 06:07 |
| bobernet | segagman: share it with what? | 06:08 |
| bazhang | !ics | segagman | 06:08 |
| ubottu | segagman: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 06:08 |
| bazhang | segagman, that what you mean? | 06:08 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, your eth card is being seen as PCI, but disabled,,,1 sec | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: your problem is *** glibc detected *** sifyconnect: double free or corruption (out): 0x0805e1c0 *** | 06:08 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: but downloading a live cd is not a solution | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: meaning the programmer did a free on something that he shouldn't have freed | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | its a solution.. just one you dont want to use. :) | 06:09 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, testing with livecd is a way to check if you have done something since installation | 06:09 |
| Cpudan80 | or somehow or another ate up the memory at 0x0805... | 06:09 |
| murlidhar | :( | 06:09 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80:ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 | 06:09 |
| segagman | yes | 06:09 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: what are you trying to do exactly? | 06:10 |
| * amal029 thinks that is one of the funniest links he has seen | 06:10 | |
| Bossmanbeta | Would anyone know why Nautilus would stop auto-updating file-sizes and folder contents (forcing a manual refresh) ?? | 06:10 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80:ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4 | 06:11 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i am a noob i didn't do anything for sure . | 06:11 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: I understand what that does - why are you doing it? | 06:11 |
| greenman | this would be a lot easier if I could do it through a gui, is there a way to start a superuser filemanager | 06:11 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80:these are the two commands told by some 1 | 06:11 |
| Cpudan80 | greenman: gksudo nautilus | 06:11 |
| SeaPhor | murlidhar, i agree with bazhang on the testing with live cd part,,, and i am not skilled enough to tell you how to "enable" what you have,,, i would suggest you get the live cd and see | 06:11 |
| Bossmanbeta | greenman, from cmdline, just type "sudo nautilus" | 06:11 |
| bobernet | greenman: gksudo nautilus | 06:11 |
| Cpudan80 | greenman: be very careful | 06:11 |
| Cpudan80 | Bossmanbeta: should use gksudo | 06:11 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, never heard of the symon ethernet adapter before; did it ever work with ubuntu? | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | greenman, its a lot SAFER to learn to do rooty tasks from the terminal. :) | 06:12 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80: it wan giving some error so i ran these two commands | 06:12 |
| Bossmanbeta | Cpudan80, why's that? | 06:12 |
| WX5AAA | hi all | 06:12 |
| segagman | hi | 06:12 |
| Cpudan80 | Bossmanbeta: gksudo is tweaked for graphical programs | 06:12 |
| greenman | I can do it from term, but I'm trying to find a file, it's taking a long time | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | greenman, ive seen many a system trashed by new users who forget which 'file manager window' is theirs and which one was roots. | 06:12 |
| bobernet | hi WX5AAA | 06:12 |
| greenman | it's in timemachine | 06:12 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: the card shows that it is intex rtl8139D . | 06:12 |
| sploh | browse network tooks forever | 06:12 |
| Cpudan80 | Bossmanbeta: I forget exactly what the difference is --- something about linking in the appropriate saved gui configs or some minor thing like that | 06:12 |
| Bossmanbeta | Cpudan80, ah, thanks...learn something every day.. tweaked in what way? | 06:12 |
| WX5AAA | any new word for drivers and such for magicjack.com on ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| bobernet | greenman: find or locate are a much better choice than root GUI fm for that | 06:13 |
| Bossmanbeta | Cpudan80, I've been running gui-apps with "sudo" for years...never had a problem... (not arguing, just pontificating) | 06:13 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: i used it with feisty fawn and gutsy . | 06:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Bossmanbeta: I believe gksudo will pull the configs out of /home/$user vs /root | 06:13 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80:http://202.144.65.70:8090/linuxinstall.html | 06:13 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, aha | 06:13 |
| Bossmanbeta | Cpudan80, intersting.. | 06:13 |
| greenman | maybe, but I dont' know where to do a find, and my locate isn't up yet. I know. | 06:13 |
| segagman | hey is there a buntu release that will run a mac g3? | 06:13 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: times out | 06:13 |
| Cpudan80 | ewww g3...? | 06:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Something old | 06:14 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, there likely is the rtl8139too module enabled that is messing things up | 06:14 |
| WX5AAA | having a spinrite party | 06:14 |
| Cpudan80 | Dapper Drake maybe | 06:14 |
| bobernet | greenman: find / -name "blah*" | 06:14 |
| segagman | i just gave 3 of them | 06:14 |
| LSD|Ninja | segagman: there was an official PowerPC port up until about 7.something but it's community supported now | 06:14 |
| Bhavesh | do you have to add -print to the find ? | 06:14 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80: downloaded from this site..can u help me with re installation? | 06:14 |
| greenman | okay, gksudo nautilus gives me the prompt and nothing else and sudo nautilus says nautilus not found | 06:14 |
| LSD|Ninja | segagman: are they blue and white? | 06:14 |
| segagman | ops some one gave me three of them | 06:14 |
| segagman | blue | 06:14 |
| bobernet | Bhavesh: no, you don't | 06:14 |
| greenman | if I'm in a su term and I nautilus will it be su? | 06:14 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: I cant even connect to that site | 06:14 |
| segagman | why? | 06:14 |
| murlidhar | bazhang: so should i disable it | 06:14 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: which means 1 of 2 things | 06:14 |
| bazhang | murlidhar, let me check | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | greenman: You should not do that | 06:15 |
| SeaPhor | bazhang, maybe have to blacklist it? | 06:15 |
| Bhavesh | bobernet thanks i thought yo ualways need print | 06:15 |

| Jordan_U | greenman: You should only run graphical applications as root with gksudo | 06:15 |
| bobernet | greenman: "which nautilus" perhaps it's not in your path | 06:15 |
| Cpudan80 | Either is likely | 06:15 |
| LSD|Ninja | segagman: Blue and Whites are New World, easier to install non-MacOS onto than the Old Worlds | 06:15 |
| Bossmanbeta | Jordan_U, you aware of the exact reasons why? (over sudo) | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | Bossmanbeta | 06:16 |
| ubottu | Bossmanbeta: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 06:16 |
| murlidhar | SeaPhor: but lsmod doesn't show 8139too module | 06:16 |

| kavon | hi, how do i turn the monitors off on my system without hitting the button or closing my laptop lid (which causes problems) | 06:16 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80: can i uninstall and re install it? | 06:16 |
| bazhang | SeaPhor, my thoughts exactly | 06:16 |
| LordFDisk | what is the code made for 8.04 ubuntu is it Hardy Heron? | 06:16 |
| barried | Hi all | 06:16 |
| Bossmanbeta | Jordan_U, I've used sudo for graphical apps for years without issue, so I'm just curious | 06:16 |
| dmoerner | LordFDisk, yes | 06:16 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: I really dont know what you downloaded or how you tried to install it | 06:16 |
| segagman | is there a buntu for the g3 other than yellowdog or yellowknife | 06:16 |
| dmoerner | segagman, yellowdog is fedora-based i believe | 06:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | segagman: Ubuntu PowerPC is community supported now | 06:16 |
| LordFDisk | dmoerner, ty | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | greenman: Are you using xubuntu? In that case you would't have nautilus installed by default and you would want to do "gksudo thunar" ( IIRC ) | 06:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | segagman: it's not an officially supported port | 06:17 |
| ubuntu_happy | HELP!!! i was transferring files from a mini-sd card to a usbdrive in nautilus in Ubuntu 7.10. When it indicated the transfer was done, I unmounted both drives and reformatted the mini-sd drive (because it had a weird write-protection). (When I unmounted the usbdrive, it told me to wait a file because it is still writing some data.. so I waited until that notification box disappeared. However, now i realized all my data that got | 06:17 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: generally you download the source, go into its directory and do make config; make; make install | 06:17 |
| greenman | hmm... it says nautilus not found | 06:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | segagman: ie, it still exists, just don't expect much in the way of first party support for it | 06:17 |
| greenman | ah | 06:17 |
| bazhang | SeaPhor, I have to head out for a few, be back soon :) | 06:17 |
| greenman | yeah, xubuntu | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | Bossmanbeta: It depends on the app, but many times we get people in here who can't login because their Xauthority is owned by root | 06:17 |
| dmoerner | segagman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427714 | 06:17 |
| Cpudan80 | greenman: The procedure would be the same there, except the file manager uses a different name | 06:18 |
| Bossmanbeta | Jordan_U, would you know why Nautilus would stop auto-updating file-sizes and folder contents (forcing a manual refresh) ?? | 06:18 |
| Cpudan80 | greenman: fire up a viewer thing and then do ps ax on the terminal | 06:18 |
| kavon | how do i make my displays sleep? is ther a command or way for it to do it now instead of waiting the minimum 11 minutes of idle? | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | Bossmanbeta: no | 06:18 |
| ganes1 | Cpudan80: can i send you the source i downloaded which is 115 kb.. | 06:18 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: no | 06:18 |

| Gnea | google+ubuntuforums=FTW! :D | 06:19 |
| Jordan_U | barried: What happens when you try? | 06:19 |
| Cpudan80 | ganes1: did you try the make config - make - make install procedure? | 06:19 |
| Gnea | barried: do you get any static if you: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp | 06:19 |
| Cpudan80 | barried: open an MP3 in totem, should prompt you to redownload the codec | 06:19 |
| bobernet | kavon: echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep | 06:20 |
| barried | Jordan_U: Opens file but won't play | 06:20 |

| ganesh | Cpudan80: i din get lat message because got disconnected automatically | 06:27 |

| bubaphex | looking for a finial cut pro alternative and itunes alternative, can any one suggest any good alternatives ? | 06:49 |
| LSD|Ninja | cman: you don't need ndiswrapper for Atheros, the problem is that Hardy is using an older version of madwifi that doesn't support the newer chips | 06:49 |
| outbriber | bubaphex: rhythmbox is an itunes lookalike and very nice alternative | 06:49 |
| bobernet | ndiswrapper is a major pita. it's almost always better to replace hardware than use it. | 06:49 |
| Finding_Nemo | #bandung | 06:49 |

| barried | Hi all, I'm back again. | 06:52 |
| barried | MP3's are now working, just needed a reboot?? No idea why. | 06:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | bobernet: I understand that ndiswrapper may be necessary in some cases but it's annoying that it keeps getting trotted out as some kind of panacea for wireless woes just like hdparm was for DMA issues a while back | 06:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | cap: you may need a reboot, I can't remember. | 06:53 |

| bobernet | LSD|Ninja: agreed | 06:53 |
| kindofabuzz | google reader! | 06:53 |
| bubaphex | puft google reader :P | 06:54 |
| bobernet | bubaphex: what interface? raggle and snownews are both nice RSS readers | 06:54 |
| kindofabuzz | great unless you're a google hater | 06:54 |
| bubaphex | looking for something like feedreader3 | 06:54 |
| bubaphex | i find google reader ugly, not a google hater | 06:54 |
| Rat409 | liferea? | 06:55 |
| Bossmanbeta | bubaphex, perhaps you should change your reading tastes, then it might look better. | 06:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | tyler: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5545069&postcount=5 <- that looks like it. It's a little involved but it should only be necessary until Intrepid | 06:55 |
| bubaphex | thanks bobernet i will give them a try | 06:55 |
| Rat409 | or pan maybe for newsreader | 06:55 |
| kindofabuzz | bubaphex, that's what's great about google reader, it's web based so you can CSS it all you want | 06:55 |
| bobernet | bubaphex: they're both console apps, so if that's not your cup of tea, might look elsewhere. i spend most of my time in non-gui apps, so can't help much there. | 06:56 |
| hitman1985 | LSD|Ninja, while i boot the ibook now it said something about cannot allocate device.... | 06:56 |

| hitman1985 | LSD|Ninja, is that supposed to pop up before or does it indicate a problem ? | 06:56 |
| bubaphex | thanks, kindofabuzz i'll give google reader another try, seams to be the rooms fave | 06:56 |
| LSD|Ninja | hitman1985: where's saying this exactly? | 06:57 |
| kindofabuzz | bubaphex, yeah like i said, CSS is your friend | 06:57 |
| cap | LSD|Ninja: Rebooted and hardware drivers panel still says: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 06:57 |
| hitman1985 | LSD|Ninja, right before the ubuntu load starts basicly, between the initial first boot stuff and the orange boot list from ubuntu | 06:57 |
| bobernet | Addernator: edit /etc/fstab | 06:58 |

| Addernator | what is the mount point? | 07:00 |
| bobernet | Addernator: the directory where you want the hard drive accessible | 07:01 |
| bobernet | Addernator: your system probably mounts one partition on / maybe another on /home maybe another on /mnt/my_second_harddrive | 07:01 |

| Jordan_U | hitman1985: xchat ? | 07:03 |
| bobernet | hitman1985: XChat | 07:03 |

| dbouls_ | thanks man, sorry about the dbl post once again | 07:03 |
| bobernet | Addernator: if you're using it for backups, i'd probably create a directory called /mnt/backup and mount it there | 07:03 |
| Addernator | nah it's just for extra storage | 07:03 |

| bobernet | Addernator: in /etc/fstab replace "defaults" with "rw,user" no quotes | 07:08 |
| dmoerner | greenman, find /path -name "*.txt" | 07:08 |
| fr500 | -R = recursive | 07:08 |

| hitman1985 | Jordan_U, how do i add a server there since ubuntu isnt in there ? | 07:09 |

| Jordan_U | hitman1985: What do you mean? | 07:10 |
| veyne | danke | 07:10 |
| hitman1985 | Jordan_U, you said xchat, but theres a list of servers, that dont contain ubuntu :( | 07:10 |

| hitman1985 | OH :( sorry | 07:10 |

| tyler | all i see LSD is wired network and manuel configuration | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | joustin: Yes, but why not go with ext3? | 07:15 |
| veyne | ok, thats impressive .. it seems that firefox loves me | 07:15 |
| bobernet | veyne: that sorts by mem usage. take a peek at it when you start clean, and later. see what's growing. firefox is a good suspect if you're running it | 07:15 |

| Addernator | so one thing remains i need to create a folder on the HD to use as the mount point but it wont let me do anything in it how do i get around this one? lol | 07:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | tyler: normally that would mean the wireless drivers aren't setup and working right but we're dealing with drivers from external sources which may change things | 07:16 |

| Assargadon | I used 7.04 for a long time...and now I upgrade my computer a little. So I plan to upgrade my ubuntu, too. This time I want to install my system on programmatical RAID. Waht I need for this? I read I need alternative install CD or server CD. It leads to one more question: what is the difference between different Ubuntu images? | 07:47 |
| Jangari | sweet, thanks Jordan_U, worked straight up | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | Jangari: np | 07:48 |
| jimmio | Assargadon: The Server has no GUI if I'm not mistaken... you'd need to install it yourself. the Alternate just installs without a GUI but is a standard install. | 07:48 |
| Jangari | cool, now all the scripts I run for audio processing and archive can be run - slightly more fast than before | 07:49 |
| Assargadon | jimmio: thanks | 07:49 |

| Assargadon | so. if those installations are same, I can do it with standart install, too | 07:50 |
| Assargadon | is it correct? | 07:50 |
| moonlitaura | Oh, one more question, is irc.ubuntu.org part of the freenode network? I'm trying to connect to freenode and I see my nick is already taken but it's fairly unique... | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | moonlitaura: Yes, it is | 07:51 |
| moonlitaura | ah, k, thanks. Thought that was what was going on | 07:51 |
| lovinglinux | Jordan_U: can I add a subdirectory to ~/bin and put my personal scripts there or should I use /usr/sbin or /usr/sbin? | 07:51 |

| greenman | thanks everyone, I'm taking this home to continue working on it. I'm going to get it to work! | 07:51 |

| niuq | actually /usr/sbin == /usr/sbin xD | 07:52 |
| jimmio | Assargadon: Yeah, I don't see why not... I have never used a RAID setup... so I can't help much. | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | lovinglinux: Why make a subdirectory, what's wrong with just putting them all in ~/bin ? | 07:52 |
| lovinglinux | niuq: oops :-) | 07:52 |
| niuq | heh | 07:52 |
| Assargadon | jimmio: only "thanks" was directed to you personally. Next question was directed to all :) | 07:53 |
| lovinglinux | Jordan_U: just to make it clear the ~/ path is the top level path where I can find bin, root and home right? I'm thinking about a subdirectory because what happens if some application I install have a file with the same name? | 07:54 |
| Kai_wp | How can I disable alt from being used to drag windows? | 07:54 |
| Kai_wp | If I hold alt and click+drag in any window it drags, I want to disable this. | 07:54 |
| Assargadon | Ok, another question. I heard a lot about kernel recompilation. They told, if you will recompile kernel especially for your machine and for your needs, it will increase everything possible to increase :) | 07:54 |
| Assargadon | Is it correct? | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | Kai_wp, ive seen that mentioned in some wine forums.. But not sure how its disabled.. except for fullscreen apps. | 07:54 |
| === Raskall_ is now known as Raskall | ||

| Assargadon | Does it mean sense to experiment wit it before my system becomes fulfilled with my data.... | 07:55 |
| Jordan_U | lovinglinux: "~" is the same as /home/you , so there should be nothing which has files in /home/you/bin other than what you put there | 07:55 |
| Kai_wp | Dr_willis: Well it seems to work in non-wine apps aswell. | 07:55 |
| kiiwii | Hmm,can I past my question a second time? ... hi,all. ubuntu 8.04, bash,after "sudo -i" , the root can not perform auto completion for man or service. why? | 07:55 |
| Assargadon | niuq: I feel I understand general idea. I'm skilled in IT and programming...but I not ever recompilate the kernel before. | 07:56 |
| === mrglinu1 is now known as mrglinux | ||
| Flannel | kiiwii: probably because root has completion turned off (or rather, not turned on) | 07:56 |

| Dr_willis | Kai_wp, ive seen it discussed in WINE forums.. its a feature of X/window managers Many wine users hate it.. | 07:56 |
| Dr_willis | Kai_wp, i even have a tool for windows that enables the same alt-drag feature in windows. :) | 07:57 |
| lovinglinux | Jordan_U: that was my mistake I was using the top level bin directory | 07:57 |
| HAL9000 | Is there a gtk2.10 for 804? | 07:57 |
| bobernet | Assargadon: you can rebuild your kernel at any time. whether you have data or not | 07:57 |
| kiiwii | Flannel, I have not change any .profile or .bashrc, just use them by default. | 07:57 |
| niuq | Assargadon, install a new version of kernel, keep the one you have, and mess with it xD, you system crash the you can just back over | 07:57 |
| niuq | Assargadon, if your** | 07:57 |
| crdlb | HAL9000: 8.04 has 2.12 | 07:57 |
| Flannel | kiiwii: .bashrc is *your* bash completion settings, not roots. | 07:57 |
| niuq | Assargadon, i'm sorry i always miss letters | 07:58 |

| Flannel | kiiwii: my /root/.bashrc has the completion bits commented out. | 07:58 |
| Assargadon | niuq, bobernet thanks | 07:59 |
| Assargadon | well, the possibility of crash a system is a reason I want to try it with new system installation | 07:59 |
| bobernet | Assargadon: it's not a non-recoverable crash | 07:59 |
| Assargadon | as the very reserve, I have a possibility just reinstall it :) | 08:00 |
| adam7 | Assargadon: A good tutorial for kernel compilation is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 | 08:00 |
| kiiwii | Flannel, wow~, I see ：）thx Flannel. | 08:00 |

| HAL9000 | crdbl:Can you make any suggestions ? | 08:01 |
| Assargadon | bobernet, it maybe impossible to follow step-by-step. One possible way why it will be impossible - internet will be unavaliable during this period :) | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | lovinglinux: You may need to start a new shell after adding the ~/bin directory for the first time | 08:01 |
| Dr_willis | lovinglinux, i recall having to add the users bin directory to the default paths in the .bashrc or .bash_profile | 08:01 |
| crdlb | HAL9000: yes, ubuntu includes gtk, but not its development headers | 08:02 |
| Dr_willis | lovinglinux, those chages will only take effect in newly spawned shells like Jordan_U said. | 08:02 |
| crdlb | HAL9000: for that you want libgtk2.0-dev | 08:02 |
| Assargadon | niuq: thanks for your optimistic vision :) | 08:02 |
| HAL9000 | crdbl: aah -dev thank you !!! | 08:03 |

| lovinglinux | Dr_willis: thanks | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | lovinglinux: There is a script which runs at login and looks specifically for ~/bin and adds it to your $PATH ( the list of directories to look in for executables ) but you can also add any other folder to your $PATH yourself | 08:16 |
| Dr_willis | lovinglinux, technically its the 'bin directory' :) | 08:16 |

| lovinglinux | Dr_willis: so, the script look for the ~/bin path and virtualize it as being just bin? | 08:18 |
| Dr_willis | lovinglinux, the .bash_profile file | 08:18 |
| Dr_willis | lovinglinux, looks for a bin directory and if its there.. it adds it to the end of the PATH for the user. | 08:18 |
| ubuntu_ | hello | 08:19 |
| Dr_willis | no idea what you mean by 'virtualize' :) its a directory whos name gets added to the default PATH | 08:19 |
| lovinglinux | Dr_willis: thanks I will look for it | 08:19 |
| klausade | is there a channel for the Wubi installer somehere? | 08:19 |
| rubydiamond | How to scan network | 08:19 |
| ubuntu_ | is there documentation for installing ubuntu 8.04 via the alternate cd? | 08:19 |
| rubydiamond | I want to know all computers on my network | 08:19 |
| Dr_willis | rubydiamond, i use the nmap command to scan the network normally | 08:19 |
| ubuntu_ | i can only find 7.04 on the website | 08:19 |
| rubydiamond | Dr_willis: what is the command options | 08:19 |
| andri-setiawan | nmap -sP 192.168.0.* | 08:19 |
| Dr_willis | rubydiamond, someone mentioned it just earlier.. | 08:19 |
| andri-setiawan | :D | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | lovinglinux: You would add it to your ~/.profile, a line something like "PATH=$PATH:/your/directory/here" but be careful if you forget the $PATH: part you will have to enter the full path to commands ( like /bin/ls ) until you fix it | 08:19 |
| rubydiamond | okay | 08:20 |
| Dr_willis | that does a 'ping scan' of the whole 192.168.0.* network | 08:20 |
| Dr_willis | you might want to put single quotes around that ip.* bit. | 08:20 |
| andri-setiawan | ehm... | 08:20 |
| andri-setiawan | ok thanx | 08:20 |
| Dr_willis | Jordan_U, i though we discoverd it was in the default .bash_profile allready. | 08:20 |
| outbriber | !away | 08:21 |
| ubottu | You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 08:21 |
| TtyS2 | Dr_willis: what value do u use in nmap to see it run | 08:21 |
| Dr_willis | TtyS2, value? Iuse the ip of my local lan. | 08:21 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: this is close: http://www.binonabiso.com/en/Ubuntu-miniRAM-HOWTO.html | 08:21 |
| Dr_willis | TtyS2, i normally filter it a little bit with grep to make a nicer clean output | 08:21 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_willis: He was asking why it didn't work when it was "hidden" so I assumed he had put a . in front of it and told him that it only looks for ~/bin exactly but he could add his own directories if he wanted | 08:21 |
| rubydiamond | Dr_willis: Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 52.183 seconds | 08:21 |
| rubydiamond | Dr_willis: I ran nmap -sP 192.168.104.* | 08:22 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: what is your machine's IP? | 08:22 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks bobernet | 08:22 |
| ubuntu_ | i'm reading that now | 08:22 |
| rubydiamond | my machine ip is 192.168.1.101 | 08:22 |
| Dr_willis | rubydiamond, perhaps you need to use YOUR correct ip address/mask? or no machines are replyng to pings.. | 08:22 |
| ubuntu_ | but i don't think thisreally applies to me | 08:22 |
| ubuntu_ | i have a recent laptop computer | 08:22 |
| Dr_willis | rubydiamond, wrong ip then. You scanned the wan. not the local lan perhaps. | 08:22 |
| veyne | is there a way to do something similar to "sudo" in nautilus w/o going into terminal? | 08:22 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: then scan 192.168.1.* | 08:22 |
| ubuntu_ | honestly i shouldnt be having problems. i blame the installer | 08:23 |
| bobernet | veyne: gksudo | 08:23 |
| rubydiamond | Dr_willis: 192.168.104.* is the vpn network .. I want to scan it' | 08:23 |
| Dr_willis | So you just scanned part of the isp :) | 08:23 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: why are you using the alternate installer unless you're trying to get a minimal base? | 08:23 |
| veyne | awessome | 08:23 |
| veyne | tyvm | 08:23 |
| ubuntu_ | i'm using the alternate installer because the Live installer doesnt work | 08:23 |
| rubydiamond | bobernet: yeah but I want to know all computers in vpn network.. which is having ip range 192.168.104.* | 08:23 |
| ubuntu_ | the live installer crashes no matter what | 08:23 |
| Dr_willis | rubydiamond, its possible the machines/firewall is blocking stuff.. I dont use vpn so cant advise much more then that. | 08:24 |
| ubuntu_ | the alternate installer stopped doing anything after "cleaning up" | 08:24 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: are you connected to the VPN? is there a firewall? etc | 08:24 |
| ubuntu_ | i.e. it froze at 100% | 08:24 |
| ubuntu_ | i think the base install is on the disk though | 08:24 |
| rubydiamond | yeah.. bobernet there may be firewall.... how can i find that out... | 08:24 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, how long it been hanging at 'cleaning up' ? | 08:25 |
| ubuntu_ | well it got to 100% like i said | 08:25 |
| rubydiamond | also I just want to ssh into my work machine.. which is having ip 192.168.104.138 | 08:25 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: ask the maintainer of the network. ;) | 08:25 |
| ubuntu_ | and then it stayed there for about 30 minutes at the least | 08:25 |
| rubydiamond | hmm bobernet its little urgent | 08:25 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: can you ping your machine? | 08:26 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: how are you connecting to the vpn? | 08:26 |
| rubydiamond | using openvpn client on mac | 08:26 |
| sfreak_ | yeah ruby try doing nmap localhost and see if you get anthing out of that | 08:27 |
| bobernet | rubydiamond: can you ping 192.168.104.138 ? | 08:27 |
| pc|ipv6 | hi. for some reason firefox in ubuntu hardy 64 bit won't load | 08:28 |
| pc|ipv6 | can anyone help me out? | 08:28 |
| BoogyWoe | maybe upgrade your ubuntu | 08:28 |
| kindofabuzz | pc|ipv6, run it from cli, what do you get for errors? | 08:28 |
| ubuntu_ | so bobernet do u have anymore advice? | 08:28 |
| pc|ipv6 | kindofabuzz: nothing | 08:29 |
| kindofabuzz | nothing? you just get a prompt again? | 08:29 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: i wish i did. i know next to nothing about the ubuntu installer. i've been using debian for about 10 years. only use ubuntu on a couple laptops here at the house. | 08:29 |
| ubuntu_ | i see | 08:29 |
| ubuntu_ | does anyone here know anything about the ubuntu installer? | 08:29 |
| pc|ipv6 | kindofabuzz: yep | 08:29 |
| ubuntu_ | i mean s*** it was almost done | 08:29 |
| === _0id is now known as tee | ||
| Jordan_U | bobernet: If you prefer Debian's installer go with the alternate CD | 08:30 |
| kindofabuzz | it's the same as the debian one, well the alt installer is | 08:30 |
| ubuntu_ | a lot of the files are on the drive | 08:30 |
| ubuntu_ | if not all of them | 08:30 |
| ubuntu_ | but i can't boot from it | 08:30 |
| === tee is now known as t33x | ||
| lovinglinux | Jordan_U: changing the .profile didn't worked very well :-) anyways, the scripts are working and that is what matters | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: At what stage did it fail? | 08:30 |
| kindofabuzz | pc|ipv6, so when you type firefox into the terminal you get absolutly nothing? | 08:30 |
| ubuntu_ | it stopped after "cleaning up" | 08:30 |
| bobernet | Jordan_U: truthfully - after this latest upgrade borked a system again, i'm done with ubuntu most likely. taking my new laptop back to lenny. | 08:31 |
| ubuntu_ | it finished "select and install software" | 08:31 |
| pc|ipv6 | kindofabuzz: yep | 08:31 |
| ubuntu_ | when "cleaning up" reached 100% it did not prompt me to restart or anything like that | 08:31 |
| ubuntu_ | hung there for about a half hour or more | 08:31 |
| kindofabuzz | pc|ipv6, weird, you should get something, an error, not found, something! lol | 08:31 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: if it were me... i'd boot from knoppix or some other live CD, mount the disk and snoop around. is /boot valid? good /boot/grub/menu.lst? /etc/fstab? etc | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: You can try chrooting in and installing grub | 08:31 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah i'm actually on a the Ubuntu livecd | 08:31 |
| ubuntu_ | doing just that | 08:31 |
| ubuntu_ | i'll check for those things | 08:32 |
| kindofabuzz | ubuntu_, try the alt cd | 08:32 |
| ubuntu_ | i'm looking in /boot right now | 08:32 |
| ubuntu_ | there are a few files in there | 08:32 |
| kindofabuzz | i had the same probelm with server, alt cd worked fine | 08:32 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: do you know how to chroot? | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Be sure to try a "dpkg --configure -a" from chroot | 08:32 |
| ubuntu_ | abi-2.6-generic, config-2.6 generic, initrd.img-generic | 08:32 |
| pc|ipv6 | kindofabuzz: i loaded firefox in safe mode and it seems to work | 08:32 |
| ubuntu_ | a bunch of files like that | 08:32 |
| ubuntu_ | please explain this to me guys? | 08:32 |
| ubuntu_ | chroot? | 08:32 |
| kindofabuzz | pc|ipv6, firefox -safe-mode? | 08:33 |
| ubuntu_ | is chroot like sudo or something? | 08:33 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: chroot /mnt/my_hard_drive will make that directory / | 08:33 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: then you can run as if you had the hdd mounted at / | 08:33 |
| kindofabuzz | pc|ipv6, if it works in safe mode, then your problem is an addon or theme | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Do you see a file named /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 08:33 |
| ubuntu_ | so what do you guys want me to do? | 08:33 |
| bobernet | ubuntu_: check for menu.lst, as Jordan mentioned | 08:34 |
| ubuntu_ | there is no folder inside /boot called /grub | 08:34 |
| bobernet | that's not good. | 08:34 |
| ubuntu_ | or menu.lst | 08:34 |
| kevincody | two possibilities: grub is not installed, or /boot isn't mounted. is /boot entirely empty? | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Ok, then tell me where your install partition is mounted and I will give you a few commands to try | 08:34 |
| pc|ipv6 | kindofabuzz: the only addon is the ubuntu firefox modifications thingy | 08:34 |
| ubuntu_ | where it's mounted/ | 08:35 |
| ubuntu_ | i think the name is sdb2 or something | 08:35 |
| kindofabuzz | pc|ipv6, any themes? | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | kevincody: In Ubuntu there is no separate /boot | 08:35 |
| kevincody | Jordan_U, doesn't mean someone didn't get tinkery, unless it's a fresh install | 08:35 |
| bobernet | Jordan_U: there can be if you don't let it auto-partition | 08:35 |
| pc|ipv6 | kindofabuzz: nope | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Can you pastebin the output from "mount" in a terminal | 08:36 |
| ubuntu_ | just type in "mount"? | 08:36 |
| crysis | türkçe bilen varmıs | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Yes | 08:36 |
| crysis | ses sorunum varda | 08:36 |

| Markussss | I have installed Ubuntu on a partition with 18 GB. Nautilus tells me in "Properties" that there is about 5 GB free on the disk, but I can't save anything anywhere in the home-folder or on the desktop. Also, I have three other NTFS-partitions where I'd like to save stuff like music, movies and such, but I only get permission to read from the partitions, not write to those. How can I solve these two problems? | 08:41 |

| Kai_wp | Is it possible to change just the background color of the program boxes in the bottom bar? I know if I change the window background color they'll change, but then, ofcourse, my window background color changes too. :( | 08:43 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: it says it can't find /proc/media/disk/proc | 08:43 |
| kevincody | never attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance | 08:43 |
| BunTai | how should connect to another server using xirchat? | 08:43 |
| * Kai_wp wants to change the color of the boxes since it clashes with the background color of the bottom bar. | 08:43 | |

| Smurfslover | good morning | 08:43 |
| BunTai | how should i connect to another server using xirchat? | 08:43 |

| Gnea | Smurfslover: lsb_release -a | 08:44 |
| BunTai | ./server blabab.blabl.bla 6667 <-- i cant if like this | 08:44 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: You missed a space ( or I did ), did you just copy and paste the command? | 08:44 |
| zethero1 | how do I set the Label of my External Hard Drive? | 08:44 |
| mindrape | BunTai - try /server irc.whatever.com:6667 | 08:44 |
| BunTai | ok | 08:45 |
| Smurfslover | thx Gnea | 08:45 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: i tried it again | 08:45 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, what filesystem? i normally use 'tune2fs' to set ones for ext3/2 fs's | 08:45 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: it did something this time | 08:45 |
| kevincody | anyone here write glib-based c code when they're not pitching in on user support? | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: You are now at a shell where you can run commands on your installed system, the first I would try would be "dpkg --configure -a" ( it likely will just do nothing and exit immediately but it's a good thing to try to be safe ) | 08:45 |
| amanulla | i wanna use vmware any suggestions pls? | 08:45 |
| jimmio | anything I can use to record the output of my audio card? In Windows, there's a WhatUHear... | 08:46 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: i don't know what but it did something, now the prompt is "root@ubuntu" | 08:46 |
| ubuntu_ | oh ok cool | 08:46 |
| Night_XX | hi folk | 08:46 |
| Night_XX | I have a problem.. | 08:46 |
| mindrape | amanulla: uhmmm... use it? What type of suggestions are you looking for? | 08:46 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, well right now its in ntfs .... but I am wondering if I should have it in another format ... | 08:46 |
| kevincody | NigelS_, we can't help you with empty kegs... ;) | 08:46 |
| kevincody | sorry that was for Night_XX | 08:46 |
| ubuntu_ | i don't think dpkg --configure -a did anything | 08:46 |
| amanulla | how to install it? | 08:46 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, but I suppose I'll just keep it to ntfs | 08:46 |
| === efsq is now known as efsq_ | ||
| Dr_willis | zethero1, depends on what you are going to do with it i guess? | 08:46 |
| mindrape | amanulla - that isn't really a suggestion... | 08:46 |
| Night_XX | every time I try to boot a custom kernel I receive this: run-init: nuking initramfs contents: Directory not empty | 08:47 |
| amanulla | now im using xp+ubuntu 8.04 dual boot | 08:47 |
| mindrape | amanulla - have you tried finding a repository with it and using apt-get install ? | 08:47 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, just store data ... movies etc .... shared on the network | 08:47 |
| amanulla | no | 08:47 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: is there a format that is particularly performant? | 08:47 |
| farid | i first chat with program{opera}plz help me | 08:47 |
| Night_XX | and then a kernel panic that says something like this "attempting to kill init process" | 08:47 |
| amanulla | i dont know how to install | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Ok, I don't really remember how to install grub so bear with me ( and you might consider just re-installing, it's almost certainly easier :) | 08:47 |
| Night_XX | what's wrong?? | 08:47 |
| mindrape | amanulla - man apt-get | 08:47 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, I tend to set up my samba shares to use ext3. You could use ntfs I imagine.. or ntfs-3g | 08:47 |
| amanulla | before i install i need how it will be after installtion | 08:48 |
| farid | help me | 08:48 |
| amanulla | do i have to face any problems? | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: You can try "apt-get install grub" but I am pretty sure that alone won't do it | 08:48 |
| mindrape | amanulla - we can't predict the future. | 08:48 |
| farid | :( | 08:48 |
| kevincody | Dr_willis, amanulla, for whatever it's worth, xfs is also popular on large samba shares | 08:48 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, ntfs-3g? | 08:48 |
| Night_XX | noone can help me? | 08:48 |
| farid | chat with me | 08:48 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: what's the point of reinstalling when there's a good chance the installer will just crash again? | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | amanulla: You can get a pretty good idea from the liveCD | 08:48 |
| FAJALOU | farid: what is your question? | 08:48 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: grub-install or setup at the grub prompts | 08:49 |
| amanulla | Jordan_U:what idea? | 08:49 |
| ubuntu_ | wols how should i do that? | 08:49 |
| Dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | zethero1 | 08:49 |
| ubottu | zethero1: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 08:49 |
| amanulla | kevincody:what is xfs? | 08:49 |
| ubuntu_ | wols: how should i do grub-install is a better question actually | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | wols_: Will that also generate the menu.list ( this is a failed install he is trying to get working ) | 08:49 |
| farid | nothing | 08:49 |
| kevincody | amanulla, i think ibm developed it. a unix filesystem, different under the hood than ext3, but similar in usage | 08:49 |
| farid | plz chat with me | 08:49 |
| wols_ | Jordan_U: update-grub will to a degree | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: There is an alternate ( text menu based ) installer that will likely not have the same problem | 08:50 |
| bazhang | farid this is not the chat channel | 08:50 |
| leo_away | !ot | farid | 08:50 |
| ubottu | farid: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:50 |
| bazhang | farid this is ubuntu support. | 08:50 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: i used the text menu based installer | 08:50 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: how to do it depends on yourpartition layout | 08:50 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, ah yes .... so as it being NTFS ... how can I set the label... cause right now it just has some generic name to the mounted volume | 08:50 |
| farid | i cant understand whats ur mean? | 08:50 |
| bazhang | amanulla, use virtualbox. it is in the repos. sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 08:50 |
| ubuntu_ | wols: well here is my partition layout: http://pastie.org/263022 | 08:50 |
| amanulla | finally what i need is to acees xp from ubuntu with out rebooting | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, i would set it in windows..if you really need to set the label.. if you want to set it up as a sama share you will want to mount it from fstab. so the label wont matter | 08:51 |
| bazhang | farid what is your native language | 08:51 |
| amanulla | im running both xp,ubuntu8 dual boot now | 08:51 |
| farid | FAJALOU chat with me | 08:51 |
| bazhang | farid not here. | 08:51 |
| mindrape | amanulla - you can mount the NTFS partition if you want to read/write files to the XP partition. | 08:51 |
| ubuntu_ | wols: /media/disk is the / partition | 08:51 |
| wols_ | !tell amanulla about ntfs3g | 08:51 |
| ubuntu_ | and /media/disk-1 is the /home partition | 08:51 |
| ubottu | amanulla, please see my private message | 08:51 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: I usually just share the folders I want to share manually .... | 08:51 |
| farid | im here | 08:51 |

| farid | bazhang to farsi baladi | 08:53 |
| farid | irani nist | 08:53 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, err.. if you have no windows at all.. then why use ntfs at all? set up nfs for MUCH faster 'shares' then samba will do. | 08:53 |
| bazhang | !ir | farid | 08:53 |
| amanulla | wols_:so for what is vmware? | 08:53 |

| mindrape | amanulla - you can potentially install wine and run those Windows apps from within Linux. If you install VMWare its going to build a virtual machine... not quite the same as booting both partitions at the same time. :) | 08:53 |
| wols_ | farid: stop talking farsi. this is an english ONLY channel. join ubuntu-ir | 08:53 |
| farid | ok | 08:54 |

| farid | why icant speak persian at room | 08:54 |
| amanulla | mindrape:what is wine? | 08:54 |
| Dr_willis | farid, this is a english room. for starters. | 08:54 |
| ubuntu_ | wols_ and Jordan_U got any ideas? | 08:54 |
| farid | ok | 08:54 |
| leo_away | amanulla: wine is not an emulator | 08:54 |
| farid | i understand | 08:54 |
| mindrape | farid - English. For your language there is a very specific channel for it. Read what people tell you. | 08:54 |
| bazhang | !wine | amanulla | 08:55 |
| ubottu | amanulla: 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. | 08:55 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, well ... there are instances where may have to plug it into someones Windows machine ... heh | 08:55 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis , what is nfs? | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, there are tools that lets windows read/write ext2/3 filesystems. :) | 08:55 |
| bazhang | !nfs > zethero1 | 08:55 |
| ubottu | zethero1, please see my private message | 08:55 |
| ubuntu_ | btw when i tried to do apt-get install grub it told me to "media change" insert ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron disk... | 08:55 |
| amanulla | can i install wine in ubuntu easily? | 08:55 |
| bazhang | amanulla, yes | 08:55 |
| ubuntu_ | which doesnt make much sense because i'm running the ubuntu 8.04 live cd right now | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, a better way to share 'files' between unix/linux machines then samba | 08:56 |
| mindrape | amanulla - pull up a command line and type man apt-get | 08:56 |
| mindrape | !apt-get | amanulla | 08:56 |
| ubottu | amanulla: 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) | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Remember, you are running these commands from your installed system | 08:56 |
| kamoljan | Hi :). I am trying to run this command: awk '{print $6 $7 $8;}' 20080829.log | 08:56 |
| kamoljan | it gives error: awk: cannot open 20080829.log (Value too large for defined data type) | 08:56 |
| amanulla | mindrape:then what to do? | 08:57 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, what about reiserfs? | 08:57 |
| mindrape | amanulla - read. | 08:57 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: so what should i try? | 08:57 |
| Boon | hey does any1 here know how to solve a problem with Ubunutu 8.04 involing Login screen flickering? | 08:57 |
| kamoljan | how to fix it? | 08:57 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: I heard it was really good ... but then some ppl say its not so good ... | 08:57 |
| Boon | yea | 08:57 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, what about it.. :) go research it.. I dont think it will benifit you at all. | 08:57 |
| Boon | how to fix it | 08:57 |
| bazhang | zethero1, use ext3 | 08:57 |
| mindrape | amanulla - ever hear the saying "Give a man a fish and teach him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime." ? | 08:57 |
| amanulla | no | 08:57 |
| kindofabuzz | what? where you been? | 08:58 |
| mindrape | amanulla - we can sit here and walk you through the very basics of package management and Ubuntu. There is a little bit of work on your end that you have to do (ie; READING) | 08:58 |
| leo_away | zethero1: the development of reiserfs has stopped for the time being due to hans reiser's imprisonment | 08:58 |
| amanulla | what does it mean? | 08:58 |
| Dr_willis | mindrape, a bit of a typo in there... :) | 08:58 |
| kindofabuzz | think about it | 08:58 |
| LSD|Ninja | zethero1: you aren't married are you? | 08:58 |
| amanulla | ok | 08:58 |
| zethero1 | leo_away, you serious?> | 08:58 |
| mindrape | amanulla - it means that if we just give you answers you will be back every day for answers. If we teach you how to find answers you wont be back to ask basic questions that are obvious and very easy to find. | 08:58 |
| leo_away | zethero1: he killed his wife | 08:58 |
| zethero1 | LSD|Ninja, why? | 08:58 |
| kindofabuzz | means if you actully learn to fish you can feed yourself instead of someone feeding you | 08:58 |
| Boon | any1 knwo how to fix meine probliem? | 08:58 |
| bazhang | leo_away, that is not important here | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: run "nano /etc/apt/sources.lst" it should open a text file in a terminal based editor | 08:59 |
| Dr_willis | Linux Tip #1 - 'learn how to learn' :) | 08:59 |
| amanulla | ok im new to ubuntu before i used xp | 08:59 |
| zethero1 | leo_away, WHAT? ... | 08:59 |
| kindofabuzz | be willing to learn | 08:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | zethero1: reiserfs is fine until you come home and discover your wife missing. No wife, no problem :) | 08:59 |
| bazhang | !ot | 08:59 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:59 |
| amanulla | i hope i will learn what you say | 08:59 |
| amanulla | thank u | 08:59 |
| leo_away | bazhang: i was telling him about reiserfs not being developed anymore, i think it makes sense to explain why | 08:59 |
| mindrape | amanulla - that is fine. Maybe you should go to ubuntu.com and read the beginners manual first to get some bearings? | 08:59 |
| kamoljan | I am trying to run this command: awk '{print $6 $7 $8;}' 20080829.log . it gives error: awk: cannot open 20080829.log (Value too large for defined data type) | 08:59 |
| bazhang | take offtopic elsewhere | 08:59 |
| zethero1 | LSD|Ninja, ugh | 08:59 |
| leo_away | zethero1: it is a good filesystem but unless someone decides to continue developing then it won't improve over time | 09:00 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: should i do that from the chrooted shell? | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | i think there is a reiser2 | 09:00 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U: also, i just did that from the chrooted shell and the file seemed more or less empty | 09:00 |
| Boon | thats what she said | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | or 3? | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | lol | 09:00 |
| Boon | lol | 09:00 |
| bazhang | !lol > Boon | 09:01 |
| ubottu | Boon, please see my private message | 09:01 |
| Dr_willis | kamoljan, you might want to check an awk tutorial.. sonmthing looks wrong about that line.. but i aint awk'ed in years... sounds like its trying to load the .log as a script | 09:01 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, so there is no way in Ubuntu to set the Label to an NTFS drive? | 09:01 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Are there any commented lines? ( or just pastebin it ) | 09:01 |
| kindofabuzz | oh yeah no laughing allowed in this room =( | 09:01 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, proberly is.. there ntfstools in the repos.. | 09:01 |

| Dr_willis | zethero1, this is linux.. thers always a way :) normally | 09:01 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, too true | 09:02 |
| kindofabuzz | there's probably 10 ways | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan-U: there's very literally nothing in it | 09:02 |
| leo_away | zethero1: maybe you can change the name of the partition with gparted | 09:02 |
| mindrape | zethero1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive#NTFS | 09:02 |
| jtaji | zethero1: ntfslabel, in the ntfsprogs package | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | oh waait | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu_: Are you sure you got the path correct? | 09:02 |
| kamoljan | Dr_willis: yes, it is for take uniq IP from access.log file | 09:02 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah gparted you can set labels | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | Jordan_U there is a sources.list.d | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | but no sources.lst | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | also there is a sources.list | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | and there is tons of crap in the sources.list | 09:03 |
| Dr_willis | kamoljan, shouldent the log/data get piped to the awk script? to help much more id have to go find a awk tutoruial/examples | 09:03 |
| greenman | Anyone know why I can see networks, but when I join nothing happens? | 09:03 |

| wols_ | greenman: logs | 09:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Boon, just ask in here, that's what this channel is for | 09:03 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, or search for ntfslabel | 09:03 |
| greenman | wols_: which ones? I'm not sure where to look. | 09:03 |
| Dr_willis | !find ntfslabel | 09:03 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: this is fmike from yesterday, just so ya know. | 09:03 |
| ubottu | File ntfslabel found in ntfsprogs | 09:03 |
| kamoljan | Dr_willis: ok, I will try | 09:04 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, there is ntfsprogs | 09:04 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, what was your issue again? | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, sounds like a winner... | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | linux tip #1 - after learnign to learn... learn to think :) | 09:04 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: last night my issue was that the livecd installer wasn't working | 09:04 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, ntfslabel ... not there | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | oops thats #2 heh. | 09:04 |
| ubuntu_ | now my issue is that the text based installer didn't complete installing | 09:04 |
| kindofabuzz | learn to spell learning Dr_willis =) | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, <ubottu> File ntfslabel found in ntfsprogs | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | kindofabuzz, thats what spellcheckers are for | 09:05 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang and Jordan_U : http://pastie.org/263031 | 09:05 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, ok... so this would be done then through a Terminal ... | 09:05 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, they are command line tools.. correct. | 09:05 |
| Kiyiko | Rhythembox: does the last.fm plugin, remember everything you listen to, while offline, and update it to the site...or only the songs from last time you run it, and restarts every time it closes | 09:05 |
| zethero1 | mindrape, thanks for that link ...! | 09:06 |
| bazhang | Kiyiko, sounds like a bug. | 09:06 |
| Kiyiko | lol | 09:06 |
| Kiyiko | its not an issue......... | 09:06 |
| Kiyiko | its a general question | 09:06 |
| greenman | I get a link becomes ready and then duplicate address detected. I've never had a problem with dhcp before. | 09:07 |
| Kiyiko | while offline, does it remember everything you listen to, or restart, every time you open the program | 09:07 |
| bazhang | Kiyiko, you have not tried yet? | 09:07 |
| kindofabuzz | Kiyiko, i think you have to be online for it to work, i don't think it's even 'on' until you're online | 09:07 |
| Kiyiko | well.......... | 09:07 |

| amanulla | can we play .wmv files in windows | 09:12 |
| === wil_ is now known as wil | ||
| bazhang | amanulla, in windows? | 09:12 |
| kindofabuzz | wmv is windows | 09:12 |
| Dr_willis | amanulla, playing a file depends on the codec of the file... not really its extension | 09:12 |
| sauvin | there are in fact wmv files you can play in windows that cannot yet be played in linux. | 09:12 |
| Friendly_hazard | quick question, how do i get my external hard drives to show up? | 09:12 |
| amanulla | ya sorry in ubuntu | 09:12 |
| mindrape | Friendly_hazard: USB? | 09:13 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: did you come up w/ anything new? | 09:13 |
| bazhang | amanulla, some yes, some not | 09:13 |
| amanulla | can we play .wmv files in ubuntu | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | there are in fact wmv files that contain viruses.. :) or are in codecs that try to auto-download nasty stuff on your windows box also | 09:13 |
| mindrape | amanulla - yes with mplayer or vlc. | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | amanulla, depends on the specific codec of the wmv file. | 09:13 |
| mnowluck | I want to install Windows XP inside my UBUNTU at home.. so what virtual machine do you suggest I should use? | 09:13 |
| sauvin | mmmm... don't you just LOVE MS? :) | 09:13 |
| EXT4 | vlc is really good | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | mnowluck, virtualbox has gotten very good. | 09:13 |
| _numbers_ | ms = shyt | 09:13 |
| amanulla | but i can hear only sound but no video on vlc | 09:13 |
| Friendly_hazard | mindrape yes | 09:14 |
| mnowluck | Thanks Dr_willis :) | 09:14 |
| mnowluck | Have a nice day... | 09:14 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, disable the cdrom as a source | 09:14 |
| Dr_willis | amanulla, then you proberly need to install the proper codec packages | 09:14 |
| amanulla | how can i? | 09:14 |
| EXT4 | yea | 09:14 |
| Dr_willis | !w32codecs | 09:14 |

| ubuntu_ | i don't know why | 09:19 |
| ubuntu_ | the installation didn't complete | 09:19 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, what error does it give you | 09:19 |
| Flannel | quatar-it: Try using GPG to encrypt them. Regular permissions won't help against your own user (or a liveCD, etc) | 09:19 |
| Friendly_hazard | anything specific i should be looking for? | 09:19 |
| Friendly_hazard | i got a large amount of text\ | 09:19 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, it finished installing programs and stuff, but when it was done cleaning up, it just stopped there | 09:19 |
| ubuntu_ | it hung at 100% finished | 09:19 |
| bazhang | _numbers_, dont type that command here | 09:19 |
| quatar-it | flannel: can't i make root the owner of that file? | 09:19 |
| ubuntu_ | i have a few files in my /boot folder | 09:20 |
| ubuntu_ | not sure what they do | 09:20 |
| kindofabuzz | what's the md5 checker command? | 09:20 |
| quatar-it | flannel: so, as when i run an apt-get, it will ask for a password? | 09:20 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, you are on live cd now? | 09:20 |
| mindrape | md5sum | 09:20 |
| Flannel | quatar-it: You don't have the 'root' password, you use sudo, but sure, if you wanted to chown them to root, although that seems sort of odd. | 09:20 |
| kindofabuzz | k thnks | 09:20 |
| ubuntu_ | yea bazhang i'm on livecd | 09:20 |
| _numbers_ | bazhang is that cmd a bad thing to use ? | 09:20 |
| bazhang | _numbers_, you know it is. dont discuss here. | 09:21 |
| xess | Any body got and knowledge on TV tuners? Are they hard to set up? | 09:21 |
| _numbers_ | you know it is? no i didnt actually | 09:21 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, when you boot from hdd what error do you get | 09:21 |
| Friendly_hazard | mindrape anything specific i should be looking for? | 09:21 |
| quatar-it | Flannel: i'll try gpg, ok. is third party? | 09:21 |
| quatar-it | party's? | 09:21 |
| mindrape | Friendly_hazard - anything that looks like your USB storage device... | 09:21 |
| kindofabuzz | how would you tell someone to delete stuff other than that command? | 09:21 |
| bazhang | quatar-it, no is in repos | 09:21 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, hey man, long time no chat | 09:21 |
| ubuntu_ | i dont really get an error bazhang | 09:22 |
| ubuntu_ | it just didn't work, and it booted into windows | 09:22 |
| Flannel | quatar-it: Its likely already installed. What are you trying to do? That might not be the best way, although it would work. | 09:22 |
| ubuntu_ | when i partitioned, i set the bootable flag | 09:22 |
| bazhang | kindofabuzz, you cd to the directory and do it there. | 09:22 |
| Friendly_hazard | mindrape Last time i installed ubuntu, i stumbled across an option to have them on my desktop but i dont remember what i did | 09:22 |
| quatar-it | flannel: so.. how to?? i don't know where to start.. | 09:22 |
| quatar-it | i already have an hidden folder | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | quatar-it, just because it has a . in the name dosent really make it hidden ya know? | 09:23 |
| quatar-it | can i put it under gpg using nautilus? need shell? | 09:23 |
| quatar-it | Dr_willis: i'm here to ask how to make it really hidden and protected! | 09:24 |
| ero | quit | 09:24 |
| Flannel | quatar-it: Is this an oft-used folder? or more of a stored for later sort of thing? or what? | 09:24 |
| Dr_willis | quatar-it, use some of the 'fuse' encrypted filesystem tools is one way to somthing like that. | 09:24 |
| Kai_wp | Does anyone know how to change the color of the blocks in the bottom bar without changing your windows' background color? http://aspergercolony.com/Blocks.png < These blocks :P | 09:24 |
| mindrape | Kai_wp - it all depends on your window manager... that option might not be available. | 09:25 |
| mindrape | Kai_wp - you using KDE or Gnome? If so it might make sense to ask in those respective channels. | 09:25 |
| Dr_willis | Kai_wp, looks like you are refering to the panel background colors | 09:25 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, so you can boot successfully? what is the error message if not. | 09:25 |
| quatar-it | Flannel: often used | 09:25 |
| veyne | is there a command to list incoming/outgoing connections? | 09:25 |
| ubuntu_ | there is no error message | 09:25 |
| mindrape | Kai_wp - this is more of an operating system support channel, not so much around specific configuration issues around daemons or window managers.. ie; if you want mysql or apache help go to those channels. | 09:25 |
| ubuntu_ | instead of booting to ubuntu | 09:25 |
| ubuntu_ | it just boots to windows | 09:25 |
| Kai_wp | Dr_willis: Ah, I thought there was a name for them. I suppose I'll ask in #Gnome then. :) | 09:25 |
| geev | which command is used to check kennel version | 09:25 |
| Killeroid | Kai_wp: if you use gnome, then edit the panel.rc of your theme | 09:26 |
| mindrape | uname -ar | 09:26 |
| FAJALOU | hi a friend's login is saying that there is no $HOME directory, so it logs in with /, how can this be fixed? | 09:26 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, windows was installed second? | 09:26 |
| Flannel | quatar-it: Well, you'll be happy to know this feature will be standard on installs in intrepid, although that doesn't really help you now. | 09:26 |
| Friendly_hazard | mindrape Last time i installed ubuntu, i stumbled across an option to have them (externals) on my desktop but i dont remember what i did | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, make a /home/UsersName and chown it to be owned by the user. | 09:26 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: windows isn't even on the same drive | 09:26 |
| ubuntu_ | also, i was using the one-time boot menu | 09:26 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: how can this be created? | 09:26 |
| ubuntu_ | from bios | 09:26 |
| mindrape | Friendly_hazard - well there is probably a daemon you can run that will watch for them then mount them for Gnome and KDE respectively. | 09:26 |
| tv7497 | guys could you help me with this well if any one tries to access my home page it go to my router thats horrible right it was perfectly working till i reinstalled mysql http://tv.kicks-ass.org or http://tv.kicks-ass.org/index.html its properly port forwarded i guess i even port forwarded it yesterday to port 80 but it let me on 8080 as port 80 was in use mine is an asdl2 router | 09:26 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, dual boot yea or nay | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, its just a directory you make same as any other directory. | 09:26 |
| FAJALOU | mkdir /home/Markus ? | 09:27 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, sudo mkdir /home/theusername | 09:27 |
| ubuntu_ | well it depends on the definition of dual boot | 09:27 |
| ubuntu_ | windows is on a different drive than ubuntu | 09:27 |
| Friendly_hazard | mindrape: anything simpler? | 09:27 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, lowercase i imagine | 09:27 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, good luck then | 09:27 |
| FAJALOU | ok | 09:27 |
| ubuntu_ | also, windows was installed first | 09:27 |
| mindrape | Friendly_hazard: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-443791.html | 09:27 |
| nnull | is eth1 used for wireless or? | 09:27 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, /msg ubottu grub on how to fix that | 09:27 |
| kiiwii77 | quit | 09:28 |
| mindrape | nnull - sudo iwconfig will show you the wireless interface | 09:28 |
| ubuntu_ | ok bazhang | 09:28 |
| nnull | mindrape, i have no wireless hardware tho? | 09:28 |
| mindrape | nnull - it can vary... eth1, wlan0, etc. | 09:28 |
| mindrape | nnull - then you will probably just see lo... | 09:28 |
| _numbers_ | ubuntu_ if windows was installed first and you install ubuntu on second drive just install the grub at end of install to boot either ubuntu or windows | 09:28 |
| nnull | loopback? | 09:28 |
| mindrape | yup. | 09:28 |
| nnull | just in firestarter theres no LAN, its all running thru eth0 | 09:29 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: it says that /home/markus already exists... so i told him to chown it and chmod it with 700 is that correct? | 09:29 |
| mindrape | FAJALOU: it might make sense to ls -al the directory and see who the owner and group are... | 09:30 |
| mindrape | you may have to chown it. | 09:30 |
| agent | on boot, my hard drives are switched around in grub... after modifying hdX,Y and getting grub to boot up, fdisk and grub both show the correct drive number... what could cause the mixup at boot up (grub menu)? | 09:30 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, sounds about right.. not sure on the mode. | 09:30 |
| Friendly_hazard | mindrape: nvm i just replugged them in and now its showing up | 09:30 |
| Friendly_hazard | thanks | 09:30 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: i think that 700 is right... | 09:30 |
| nnull | !selinux | 09:30 |
| ubottu | SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 09:30 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: pm? | 09:30 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang; i don't think this ubottu thing is going to help me much | 09:31 |
| kindofabuzz | agent, you could have your hard drives booting in the wrong order in your BIOS, it happened to me before | 09:31 |
| Dr_willis | FAJALOU, do a ls -l and look at the owner/permissions I guess | 09:31 |
| FAJALOU | Dr_willis: he's logging back in and then out, so he will be back in a second,,, | 09:31 |
| pajamian | FAJALOU: all that matters is that it's 7-something. 700 is fine unless you want other users to be able to access files in your home directory (wometimes that's needed) | 09:31 |
| agent | kindofabuzz, possibly... but i do have the physically first drive boot first, which is also the drive that has my two operating systems.. so booting that first is correct (i think) | 09:33 |
| kindofabuzz | agent, my problem was i kept getting OS not found, switched boot order and BIOS and it worked, just a thought | 09:33 |
| _numbers_ | kindofabuzz yeah that can happen after a fresh install | 09:34 |
| agent | kindofabuzz, ok... will try that thanks :) | 09:34 |
| _numbers_ | swap drive order in bios will most likely help you agent | 09:35 |
| Kai_wp | Er, where would I ask a question specificly about gnome then? | 09:36 |
| mindrape | probably in #gnome | 09:36 |
| _numbers_ | lol | 09:36 |
| Dr_willis | Kai_wp, here or #gnome | 09:36 |
| mindrape | or #gtk if you want a developer | 09:36 |
| nnull | can console-kit-daemon be killed? ive got like 25 of them running for some reason | 09:36 |
| mindrape | pretty much any process can be killed. | 09:36 |
| kindofabuzz | why not just ask here? gnome is more on topic than alot of questions that are asked here | 09:37 |
| mindrape | kill -15 first then if it wont die you can murder it with kill -9 | 09:37 |
| mindrape | ps aux | grep "console" | 09:37 |
| mindrape | get the PID and kill that. | 09:37 |
| nnull | mindrape, i know HOW to kill it, wondering if its being used by something that will cause ill effects upon me closing it :s | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | nnull, you could restart the service.. that will ask it to close nicely and restart. | 09:38 |
| mindrape | nnull - well I imagine if multiple processes are needed (similar to apache) you can kill 1 off and the manager daemon will re-spawn new ones as necessary | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | if its a service... :) | 09:38 |
| mindrape | I've only got 1 running nnull... | 09:39 |
| mindrape | maybe you have zombies? | 09:39 |
| nnull | just wondering why ive got 25+ in the first place, ive googled, some others have this problem but no responses for them | 09:39 |
| ubuntu_ | why can't i install grub on my drive? | 09:39 |
| ubuntu_ | i'm getting the error "sdb2 doesn't have any corresponding BIOS drive" | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, could be the /boot/grub/device.map has a invalid entry for sdb err.. you normally DONT put grub on sdb2. but on the mbr of the drive (ie sdb) | 09:40 |
| pajamian | nnull: from what I have gathered in googling for it in the past is that it does serve a purpose but it's not critical, you should be able to safely disable it if it's giving you problems. | 09:41 |
| nnull | hmm | 09:41 |
| ubuntu_ | well i put in "/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdb" | 09:41 |
| ubuntu_ | and that's the error i got | 09:41 |
| nnull | its not giving me problems, just looks scary in htop lol | 09:41 |
| pajamian | nnull: hehehe, I can understand that. | 09:41 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: no device.map entry | 09:42 |
| pajamian | nnull: I would leave it alone unless it's actually causing problems, though | 09:42 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, you could do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what drives are there/seen could be they got reorganized. also | 09:42 |
| nnull | each one is using 0.1% of my ram tho :O :F | 09:42 |
| ubuntu_ | i think wolds_ is right on this one | 09:42 |
| nnull | yea agreed i guess :x | 09:42 |
| ubuntu_ | wols_ do you mind if i message you? | 09:42 |
| wols_ | yes | 09:42 |
| ubuntu_ | ok sorry | 09:43 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: what is your sda? | 09:43 |
| amanulla | how to enable hipernate option in my system? | 09:43 |
| ubuntu_ | sda has windows on it, that's all | 09:43 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: you still need to install grub to its MBR | 09:43 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 09:44 |
| ubuntu_ | is this a "safe" thing to do? | 09:44 |
| ubuntu_ | i don't want to jeopardize the files on that drive | 09:44 |
| wols_ | grub needs to be installed on the first disk's MBR. the one BIOS boots from | 09:44 |
| ubuntu_ | wols_ i think i understand, but i'm just wondering is this safe to do if i haven't backed up my files on that drive? | 09:45 |
| davidw | hey dudes - what's a good package for editing simple avi files? Just want to edit some videos of our daughter to put them on flickr for the relatives | 09:45 |
| wols_ | nothing is ever safe. and if you haven't backed up a file. this file is not important | 09:45 |
| wols_ | either you have backups or you can afford to lose it | 09:45 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah i can't afford to lose my windows install right now | 09:45 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: do you have a backup? | 09:46 |
| ubuntu_ | i have a backup hard drive but i havent backed up windows yet | 09:46 |
| davidw | I see kino, openmovieeditor, and some gstreamer thing .... pitivi, avidemux | 09:46 |
| wols_ | `then you lied. you can afford to lose ALL your data | 09:46 |
| ubuntu_ | i've been worried about getting ubuntu to work | 09:46 |
| pajamian | ubuntu_: there is a command to restore the mbr for windows that you can run from windows (like a windows boot disk), so is it safe, I would say so, but I won't take responsibility if you try it and loose your files. | 09:46 |
| wols_ | ubuntu_: un backuped data is worthless as shown by lack of backup | 09:46 |
| Markus | Hi | 09:47 |
| ubuntu_ | so is it possible to dual boot without installing GRUB, or no? | 09:47 |
| mindrape | you can use whatever boot loader you want. | 09:47 |
| kindofabuzz | yes but youd need a boot manager | 09:47 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, you could use lilo. or some other multi-boot loader | 09:47 |
| pajamian | ubuntu_: to dual boot you need some sort of boot manager that can handle it, be it grub or lilo or something else. | 09:47 |
| kindofabuzz | super grub disk! | 09:48 |
| amanulla | i want to enable hipernate option in ubuntu what to do? | 09:48 |
| ubuntu_ | alright might as well take the risk | 09:48 |
| mindrape | is that like hibernating but more quickly? | 09:48 |
| Markus | hi | 09:48 |
| _numbers_ | ubuntu_ unless you want to go into bios on every reboot then yes | 09:48 |
| pajamian | ubuntu_: I do highly recommend backing up any important files you have, just to be safe. | 09:48 |
| mindrape | amanulla: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/hibernate-ubuntu-355177/ | 09:49 |
| ubuntu_ | pajamian, my files aren't important because i didn't back them up | 09:50 |
| ubuntu_ | therefore i should not back them up | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | 'logical captian' | 09:50 |
| _numbers_ | lol | 09:50 |
| ckyle | it's like hibernating after 5 lattes | 09:50 |
| ckyle | hipernating | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | makes one wonder why you had any files in the first place. | 09:50 |
| _numbers_ | lmao | 09:50 |
| ubuntu_ | dr willis that's a good point | 09:50 |
| ubuntu_ | i think i'm going to delete my files | 09:50 |
| ubuntu_ | that way i won't have to worry about whether or not they are destroyed by some accident | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, thats safest! just take the whole PC to theyard and bury it! | 09:51 |
| adam7 | sorry | 09:51 |
| ubuntu_ | not a bad plan Doc! | 09:51 |
| ubuntu_ | be back when i get a new computer! | 09:51 |
| ubuntu_ | hahaha | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | 'rocks and boulders will be fine' | 09:52 |
| ckyle | Anyone know of an IRC channel for C or GTK+ programming ? | 09:52 |
| ubuntu_ | Dr_willis: if i run the one-time boot menu from BIOS, then select the drive with Ubuntu installed, it should load ubuntu right? | 09:52 |
| ubuntu_ | as long as the drive has the bootable flag | 09:52 |
| Friendly_hazard | if it tells me ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode because it cant detect my screen or video card correctly, does that mean i need to reinstall video card drivers? | 09:52 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, normally one has grub on the booting drive also. | 09:52 |
| Markus | On my Ubuntu, I don't have access to /home, so I can't login or anything. Is there anyone who know how such a problem may be fixed? | 09:52 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, ive done it that way befor to keep windows/linux totally seperte | 09:52 |
| xess | Any body got any experince on using a tv tuner. I think I have mine installed right but I am not sure how to use it. | 09:52 |
| sauvin | ckyle, there is a ##c channel on this net, but it's not a particularly benign place for newbies. | 09:52 |
| ubuntu_ | so that should work? | 09:53 |
| ubuntu_ | then damn, my install is fcked up! | 09:53 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, i still had grub on the 2nd hd. | 09:53 |
| ubuntu_ | doc, now you're confusing me | 09:53 |
| ubuntu_ | where u using grub, or where u using the one-time boot menu? | 09:53 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, i would seelct hd2 in the bios boot screen.. it booted loading grub... which then loaded linux | 09:53 |
| firefox | hi | 09:53 |

| Rakeer | Hey guys, is wine or qemu better for running an x86 application under ppc ubuntu? | 10:49 |
| nyvhax | i installed it yesterday, but i can't go to http://localhost/ i have this: "The requested URL / was not found on this server." | 10:50 |
| Dr_willis | Rakeer, i dident think wine worked on ppc. | 10:50 |
| Dr_willis | Rakeer, wine is for running single apps.. qemu runs the whole os. | 10:50 |
| nyvhax | but i can go to those folders http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and http://localhost/manual but not to the others | 10:50 |
| nyvhax | i don't know why.. can somebody help me please ? | 10:50 |
| Ziroday | jeeves__: did you unmount your ntfs filesystem after last shutdown from it? | 10:50 |
| oliver3 | Dr_willis, qemu has some other mode to allow running apps from one arch on another, without running another OS inside it. | 10:50 |
| Dr_willis | oliver3, thats a neat trick. | 10:51 |
| oliver3 | Dr_willis, indeed it is | 10:51 |
| oliver3 | :D | 10:51 |
| Dr_willis | oliver3, not seen that done/mentioned much. I tend to just use virtualbox these days | 10:51 |
| vassler | oliver3: even if i select to empty trash, the trash icon doesn't change as to let me know the trash has been deleted. do you understand what i'm asing? | 10:51 |
| oliver3 | vassler, I do | 10:51 |
| oliver3 | vassler, there is likely trash somewhere which it can't access | 10:51 |
| Dr_willis | !trash | 10:52 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 10:52 |
| jeeves__ | Ziroday, the NTFS is the root windows partition, and yes, it was shut down properly. I can access it from Ubuntu | 10:52 |
| Dr_willis | If runnign the file managers as root. often you get 'root owned' trash ive seen | 10:52 |
| Rakeer | Dr Willis: Oh...what OS's can I emulate on ppc? MacOSX possibly? | 10:52 |
| Dr_willis | Rakeer, err.. i have os-x on my old imac ppc. :) | 10:52 |
| nyvhax | can somebody help me with LAMP please ? | 10:53 |
| Dr_willis | I never have gotten linux working well on my ppc imac. | 10:53 |
| Rakeer | Dr_willis: I don't think I want to install OSX on my PS3 just to run 1 x86 app :P | 10:53 |
| oliver3 | nyvhax, what's the problem? | 10:53 |
| vassler | oliver3: this only happens when i freshly install ubuntu 8.04.1 and then select to install updates. | 10:53 |
| arvind_khadri | !anyone| nyvhax | 10:53 |
| ubottu | nyvhax: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 10:53 |
| Rakeer | Dr_willis: The program I want to run has an OSX port, so if I can emulate that, fine... | 10:53 |
| nyvhax | i installed it yesterday, but i can't go to http://localhost/ i have this: "The requested URL / was not found on this server." | 10:53 |
| Dr_willis | Rakeer, PS3 is a whole different thing.. not a clue on ps3's im refering to ppc macs. | 10:53 |
| nyvhax | but i can go to those folders http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and http://localhost/manual but not to the others | 10:53 |
| jeeves__ | Ziroday, that's why I think it's strange that it won't do it | 10:53 |
| nyvhax | i don't know why.. can somebody help me please ? | 10:53 |
| Rakeer | Dr_willis: PS3=ppc | 10:53 |
| oliver3 | vassler, I have no idea, unless you changed permissions on the trash directory | 10:53 |
| Ziroday | jeeves__: one sec | 10:53 |
| Dr_willis | Rakeer, its a few generations past ppc on the imacs. :) which is what most people think of when you mention ppc. | 10:54 |
| Rakeer | Dr_willis: just pretend I said nothing about a PS3 | 10:54 |
| jeeves__ | Ziroday, ok. | 10:54 |
| bullgard4 | How is the class of graphics called that a call of hdaps-gl produces in the program window 'IBM Accelerometer Demo'? | 10:54 |
| oliver3 | nyvhax, do you have an index.html/index.php file in the root directory of apache? | 10:54 |
| pajamian | I thought ps3 used that new multicore cell cpu? | 10:54 |
| vassler | oliver3: oh well. thanks anyway. | 10:54 |
| Rakeer | Dr_willis: and point me into the direction of emulating an OSX program on ppc :D | 10:54 |
| nyvhax | yes oliver3 the "It Works!"'s index.html | 10:55 |
| jeeves__ | does anyone know what file formats that Homebank will import? or can anyone reccomend a good finical software package for Ubuntu? I can't get MS money to work through wine | 10:55 |
| Dr_willis | Rakeer, go check the ps3 linux sites i guess. I havent a clue on using linux on a ppc imac. or ps3 | 10:55 |
| oliver3 | nyvhax, have you changed the apache configuration? | 10:55 |
| Chro4 | Ok Pirate got me a bit closer but I am looking to install Ubuntu fresh but need to boot from a floppy to start the CDROM any ideas? | 10:55 |
| oliver3 | nyvhax, your best bet is probably reading the apache manual | 10:55 |
| Dr_willis | PS3 is now PPC, but Macs are now using Intel CPU's so are no longer PPC.. go figure.. :) | 10:55 |
| arvind_khadri | PS3 as in playstation 3 | 10:56 |
| Dr_willis | arvind_khadri, yep. | 10:56 |
| oliver3 | Dr_willis, I thought the PS3 used the Cell processor? | 10:56 |
| oliver3 | Or is that based on PPC? | 10:56 |
| arvind_khadri | Dr_willis, nice | 10:56 |
| * oliver3 hasn't looked into the PS3 much | 10:56 | |
| Rakeer | oy. In ppc linux, I want to run an OSX emulator...is that possible? | 10:56 |
| Dr_willis | oliver3, its like PPC grown up 10000x over. :) | 10:56 |
| oliver3 | Ahh | 10:56 |
| oliver3 | :D | 10:56 |
| oliver3 | Rakeer, see PearPC | 10:56 |
| arvind_khadri | Rakeer, ask #linux | 10:56 |
| Rakeer | PearPC emulates ppc on other platforms, I thought? | 10:57 |
| Dr_willis | I thought pearpc was some rip-off last i looked into it.. | 10:57 |
| Rakeer | arvind_khadri: Im running ubuntu though...? | 10:57 |
| Ziroday | jeeves__: please install the packages libntfs10 and tell me if you can do it now? | 10:57 |
| arvind_khadri | !ppc | Rakeer | 10:57 |
| ubottu | Rakeer: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 10:57 |
| oliver3 | Rakeer, you can probably use qemu | 10:57 |
| jeeves__ | Ziroday, ok, one sec | 10:58 |
| jokkaa | Hmm.. im trying to get my compiz transparent, but all i can find is the "shift-mousewheel" option to change opacity.. is there anyway to make it true opacity? wich will be there all the time and not has to be set by scrolling? | 10:58 |
| === MinusSeven is now known as EndlessLoop | ||
| jeeves__ | Ziroday, the only options I have are "unmount" "change flags" and "information" when I right click on the parititon | 10:59 |

| Rakeer | Yeah, I have no clue where to start with it.l.I am used to wine running on x85 machines.. | 10:59 |

| jeeves__ | arvind_khadri, I'm not sure. I don't think so. IT's weird though, I can read/write to the partion | 11:01 |
| arvind_khadri | jeeves__, what actually is the problem?? | 11:01 |
| jeeves__ | arvind_khadri, I have it installed (and I can't resize the NTFS partition). | 11:02 |
| arvind_khadri | jeeves__, gksu gparted | 11:02 |
| arvind_khadri | jeeves__, by resize you mean increase or decrease?? | 11:02 |
| jeeves__ | arvind_khadri, same thing as the last time. I only have the options to unmount, info, or change flags | 11:03 |
| jeeves__ | arvind_khadri, and yes, I want to shrink the drive from 100Gb to 45gb | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | jeeves__, normally you dont 'resize' a partitin when its mounted somewhere.. | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | jeeves__, you may want to get a gparted live cd. and try to resize from it. | 11:03 |
| arvind_khadri | jeeves__, then first unmount it and then resize it | 11:03 |
| jeeves__ | Dr_willis, ok, I'd rather not have to do the live CD thing though | 11:03 |
| arvind_khadri | jeeves__, and yeah get a gparted live cd | 11:03 |
| vozniakBR | how open pidgin in startup iconified? | 11:03 |

| arvind_khadri | jeeves__, :) lol | 11:04 |

| jeeves__ | arvind_khadri, it made me mad this morning. NTOSKRN.exe is missing. | 11:05 |

| MrNaz`` | Dr_willis well the rate that the % drops is far slower in linux... as i said... i'm going to test this experimentally, but that's an enormous difference | 11:14 |
| psycose | thanks arvind_khadri | 11:14 |
| vozniakBR | Dr_willis: this 'alltray' save changes? i want when login the pidgin starts in tray | 11:14 |

| zethero1 | I got another laptop and am selling my old one ... but I don't want to have to redo my entire setup if I can help it .... is there a way to move my whole setup to the other machine? | 11:16 |
| pajamian | zethero1: most of your setup will be in your home directory, so if you just copy your home directory over you should be good. | 11:17 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, mondo/mindi can backup/restore a system with dvd disks, or a fileserver.. may be other ways also.. but laptops can be 'trickier' then other pc's | 11:17 |
| === AshkaClone is now known as Ashka | ||
| pajamian | zethero1: just install openssh server on one of the computers and use scp | 11:17 |
| kholerabbi | how do I tell why my 3d effects won't enable ? | 11:17 |
| vozniakBR | Dr_willis: thanks, i solved my insue. | 11:17 |
| Rakeer | kholerabbi: probably dont have accelerated drivers enabled | 11:18 |
| cernex | Some help with the sound here, please | 11:18 |
| kholerabbi | rakeer: it's worled before on the same installation............ How do I check these drivers? | 11:18 |
| cernex | How can I listen to my stuff again? | 11:18 |
| cernex | And why is it that everytime I listen something on youtube, my sound just flickles all over? | 11:19 |
| zethero1 | pajamian - Dr_willis - I am only getting my new system in a while and this one is going now to the buyer ... so I need to be able to backup this current system setup | 11:19 |
| === ego is now known as Guest36431 | ||
| Rakeer | probably applications->system>restricted drivers manager | 11:19 |
| Ashka | Help me please ! If I type apt-get, Konsole mean : apt-get : not found. Why ? I can't reinstall it, but apt-get don't functionnal ! | 11:19 |
| Rakeer | check the box next to your video card | 11:19 |
| Ashka | Lut Lyokomaster et Tiwy57 ^^'' | 11:19 |
| Lyokomaster | Lut | 11:19 |
| Tiwy57 | Lyokomaster Ashka : :) | 11:19 |
| zethero1 | pajamian - Dr_willis - the best would be if I could somehow have all these programs and the look and feel of my setup backed up ... so I don't have to reinstall and reconfigure everything all over again | 11:20 |
| Rakeer | kholerabbi: did you find it? | 11:20 |
| cernex | Can somebody tell me the normal configuration my sound should have? | 11:20 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, mondo/mindi can do a complete backup/clone of the system | 11:20 |
| cernex | To not having to close firefox to listen to Rythmbox, and viceversa? | 11:21 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: can it do it to a USD External Hard Drive? | 11:21 |
| HellBound | Hello :( | 11:21 |
| kholerabbi | Rakeer: actually I can't see it... possibly the package got uninstalled - what would be the package name? | 11:21 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, proberly can.. not sure.. check its docs. | 11:21 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: is it in the repos? | 11:21 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, used to be it made a custom boot cd, that then accessed the 'archived' system files. (on a fileserver, or cd, or dvd) and restored the hd from ti.. | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, if you have a large external hd. you could use 'dd' but thats a bit hardcore. | 11:22 |
| Rakeer | restricted drivers | 11:22 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: what do you mean about 'dd' ? | 11:22 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: I have a large HDD | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | HellBound, you may want to use 8.04 if you are having install issues.. its got newer updates and stuff | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, dd can do a full 'data dump' of your sustem to a file. | 11:23 |
| pajamian | I wouldn't use dd for that as it makes a bit-level copy and you want a file-level copy | 11:23 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, that sounds good ... | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, untill you realize all the other issues that come with it. | 11:24 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, oh? .... like hardware issues on the new ssytem ? | 11:24 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, thats just 1 potential pitfall.. differnet uuid's in the fstab perhaps, the huge backing up of 'empty' space from one hd... missmatched hd sizes on restore... | 11:25 |
| pajamian | zethero1: well considering that the new system will have different hw a fresh install is probably a good idea. | 11:25 |
| kholerabbi | no it;s not restricted drivers - | 11:25 |
| zethero1 | pajamian: so I cannot port over all my apps from this machine ... | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, its easer to get a list of installed apps and reinstall those apps.. then restore the users data/home | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | !clone | 11:26 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 11:26 |
| pajamian | zethero1: you can, but I tend to prefer a fresh install anyways, get rid of all the old cruft that you have that you don't want anymore, etc. | 11:26 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis: what about all my themes etc?.... | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, depends on how you installed them i imagine.. | 11:26 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, themes were draged into the themes dialog | 11:27 |
| Proximo | i'm trying to use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ but after following the guide step by step it still won't boot from the USB stick (ive tried installing LILO too, nogo) any ideas ? | 11:27 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, that means very little to me. :) if they are in the local users home.. then you backup home and they stay with the user.. | 11:28 |
| Dr_willis | if you installed them with the package manager.. you reinstall them with the packagfe manager | 11:28 |
| Dr_willis | Proximo, a usbthumb drive normally uses the syslinux boot loader i thought. | 11:28 |
| Rakeer | kholerabbi: (k-hole rabbi?) try asking again... | 11:28 |
| dam0 | hey | 11:29 |
| Rakeer | kholerabbi: try to be a little more specific..someone else may know | 11:29 |
| dam0 | i am wanting to setup a vhost on ubunta, | 11:29 |
| dam0 | how do i do so? | 11:29 |
| _numbers_ | cloak? | 11:29 |
| kili4n | hi | 11:29 |
| kholerabbi | rakeer: ok so I have 2 drivers listed - a wireless driver and a atheros (HAL) driver - would that be the graphics? | 11:30 |
| Rakeer | atheros | 11:30 |
| Rakeer | HAL = video chip/card | 11:30 |
| hischild | kholerabbi, no. Atheros (HAL) is also your wlan driver. Atheros shows 2 | 11:30 |
| Proximo | Dr_willis: maybe, but it says at the bottom of the guide that if it wont boot i could try installing lilo (for MBR) | 11:30 |
| Rakeer | oh my mistake | 11:30 |
| Ad0 | wow big channel :) | 11:31 |
| zhaowm | hello | 11:31 |
| Proximo | Dr_willis: so i tried installing it when it failed to boot | 11:31 |
| dam0 | how do i set up vitrual hosting on my box>? | 11:31 |
| Dr_willis | Proximo, ive also found a lot of times it depends on the specific thumb drive.. and the machine you are trying to boot. I mainly use slax and puppylinux on my thumbdrives | 11:31 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html | 11:31 |
| Rakeer | Ad0: a testament to the wonderous beauty of Ubuntu, no? ;) | 11:31 |
| Ad0 | hehe | 11:31 |
| Ad0 | yeah | 11:31 |
| zhaowm | This is my first time to come here. | 11:31 |
| Ad0 | ubuntu is awesome | 11:31 |
| Rakeer | agreede. | 11:31 |
| Rakeer | -e | 11:32 |
| Ad0 | I was wondering if the window manager has a global handler to the power button on my remote | 11:32 |
| hischild | let's not go offtopic here, shall we? We've got #ubuntu-offtopic for that :) | 11:32 |
| kholerabbi | hischild: Rakeer: .... So assuming I need a restricted driver for my graphics hardware - How do I go about getting it...? | 11:32 |
| zethero1 | Dr_willis, I found this page ... and this app wants to backup /var, /etc, /home, /usr/local ..... does that sounds ok? | 11:32 |
| Proximo | Dr_willis: i would too if i knew enough to get slax/puppy running as i want it. but ive booted on this thumbdrive/computer combo before, cant understand why its not working this time | 11:32 |
| Ad0 | because if I go in xbmc-linux and press power, I would believe that I am in the scope of the app | 11:32 |
| zhaowm | where are you from? | 11:32 |
| hischild | kholerabbi, depends what graphics card you have. Do you happen to know which one you have? | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | zethero1, could try it and see.. i always just keep /home on its own drive. | 11:32 |
| Rakeer | kholerabbi: ^^ | 11:33 |
| Ad0 | but when I press power in XBMC it also shows the shutdown menu in ubuntu | 11:33 |
| zhaowm | java | 11:33 |
| Ad0 | which is kinda not wanted :) | 11:33 |
| zhaowm | I want to install jdk | 11:33 |
| kholerabbi | no... | 11:33 |
| zhaowm | who can help me? | 11:33 |
| hischild | kholerabbi, otherwise try this command --> lspci | grep VGA | 11:33 |
| kholerabbi | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 11:34 |
| Dr_willis | Is java included with the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package? i forget. | 11:34 |
| zhaowm | Thank you. | 11:34 |
| Dr_willis | !java | zhaowm | 11:34 |

| Ad0 | :P | 11:38 |
| hischild | guillem101, that's theme related right? | 11:38 |
| Ad0 | one thing, is there UI for the audio mixer in ubuntu | 11:38 |

| Ad0 | I think the sound is a bit thin and boxy | 11:38 |
| kholerabbi | hischild: perhaps not.. the reason for this is I can't enable 3d effects - and it gives me no information why (it's worked as of a few weeks ago) | 11:38 |
| zhaowm | Hello | 11:39 |
| hischild | guillem101, try switching to a different theme and then back... (GDM als is part of the theme, check login screen) | 11:39 |

| speaker` | pls help me | 11:50 |
| EnGorDiaz | 11:50 | |
| EnGorDiaz | speaker whats wrong | 11:50 |
| speaker` | i dont know to to install flash player on ubuntu 8.4 | 11:50 |
| unop | Morten_, maybe it has to go in /usr/lib/xmms/plugins .. but that depends on the plugin. have you tried restarting XMMS? | 11:50 |

| EnGorDiaz | except i dont know much about the openal and alsa drivers | 11:57 |
| EnGorDiaz | what ubuntu you using | 11:57 |
| EnGorDiaz | it could have wierded out your alsa config | 11:57 |
| sorsis | EnGorDiaz: i would really hate to boot or reinstall something. is there way to restart openal service? | 11:57 |
| EnGorDiaz | yes | 11:58 |
| sorsis | EnGorDiaz: 8.04 | 11:58 |
| EnGorDiaz | but you might have to purge and reinstall | 11:58 |
| rinaldi_ | Hi, can anyone recommend a good vector based graphics application for use with making logos etc | 11:58 |

| Iradieh | Is there a minimalistic Front Row applikation on Ubuntu? I just want to see movies that are on different folders using my apple remote on the mac mini? | 12:00 |
| sorsis | EnGorDiaz: realtek 850 integrated 97 thingie compatible | 12:00 |
| EnGorDiaz | ac97 | 12:00 |
| sorsis | yes | 12:00 |
| EnGorDiaz | you might have to reinstall the drivers | 12:00 |
| Morten_ | unop, It is not listed in there :( | 12:00 |
| EnGorDiaz | or check that the game is still not running in processes | 12:00 |
| EnGorDiaz | !openal | 12:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about openal | 12:01 |
| EnGorDiaz | ...-.- | 12:01 |
| Ad0 | hey where can I set ubuntu to only play through analog stereo? | 12:01 |
| Ad0 | my sound is kinda flat | 12:01 |
| Ad0 | I am wondering if it's channeling stuff wrongly | 12:01 |
| timob | i am using a dhcped ether nic , why does the network-manager icon thing not blink on traffic? | 12:01 |
| EnGorDiaz | well that would be | 12:01 |
| unop | Morten_, kill xmms and launch it from the terminal to see if it spits out any error messages. | 12:01 |
| samphippen | i installed ubuntu server to a machine but now want to install a different operating system | 12:01 |
| EnGorDiaz | your volume manager | 12:01 |
| samphippen | is there any reason why the cd drive wouldn't boot? | 12:01 |
| EnGorDiaz | sam what kind of os | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | bios set wrong, cd burnt badly | 12:01 |
| samphippen | EnGorDiaz, gentoo. | 12:02 |
| samphippen | Dr_willis, cd didn't burn badly | 12:02 |
| EnGorDiaz | well it should just update your bootloader | 12:02 |
| Morten_ | unop, okay, ill try that :) | 12:02 |
| EnGorDiaz | GRUB list with no problems unless you set in to completely whipe the hard drive\ | 12:02 |
| samphippen | EnGorDiaz, I can't boot the gentoo cd. | 12:02 |
| dinesh_ | i think nobody is interested to help | 12:02 |
| eth01 | saying that won't get you help no | 12:02 |
| EnGorDiaz | have you restarted the comp and | 12:03 |
| EnGorDiaz | press f10 | 12:03 |
| dinesh_ | eth 01: | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | it is 7AM here in the Usa :) | 12:03 |
| Iradieh | /wc 8 | 12:03 |
| sorsis | EnGorDiaz: i haven't restarted but i'll do it now. | 12:03 |
| eth01 | it's eth01. | 12:03 |
| EnGorDiaz | to get to the first devices to start | 12:03 |
| sorsis | EnGorDiaz: i'll come back in few min if that doesn't work. | 12:03 |
| EnGorDiaz | well press the restart button hold down f10 | 12:03 |
| eth01 | oh dear | 12:03 |
| EnGorDiaz | and change which device boots first | 12:03 |
| eth01 | lol | 12:03 |
| Morten_ | unop; libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -- it write this two times | 12:03 |
| EnGorDiaz | you should change it to | 12:04 |
| sorsis | EnGorDiaz: and that does what? | 12:04 |
| sorsis | ok | 12:04 |
| EnGorDiaz | first will cd/dvd | 12:04 |
| samphippen | EnGorDiaz, you want me to go into bios? | 12:04 |
| dinesh_ | eth01:i am unable to connect my laptop to wireless network | 12:04 |
| EnGorDiaz | it boots the cd drive first | 12:04 |
| EnGorDiaz | instead of the hard drive | 12:04 |
| samphippen | CDROM,C,A is what the bios says for boot order | 12:04 |
| EnGorDiaz | ok how did you burn the cd | 12:04 |
| EnGorDiaz | did you burn the iso first | 12:04 |
| Iradieh | I have connected my macmini to the tv, now I would like a Front Row applikation on Linux, any minimalistic ones that ONLY show movies with subtitles and nothing more? | 12:04 |
| eitri | Hi guys, I've just put a new hd into my computer and installed XP on it. I'm using my ubuntu hd as master. How can I get GRUB to find XP and let me choose what to load from? | 12:04 |
| EnGorDiaz | did you burn the iso as an iso or just as a data cd | 12:05 |
| samphippen | EnGorDiaz, i used brasero to burn the iso file | 12:05 |
| EnGorDiaz | !grub | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | dinesh_, wireless can be a real pain. step #1 would be to determine EXACTLY what wireless chipset ya got. and perhaps check the forums and wireless wiki pages for that exact chipset. | 12:05 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 12:05 |
| samphippen | EnGorDiaz, right click->open with brasero | 12:05 |
| unop | Morten_, try installing the libstdc++5 package | 12:05 |
| EnGorDiaz | oh ok | 12:05 |
| EnGorDiaz | well must be your boot prioritys | 12:05 |
| Morten_ | unop, ill do that right now! :) | 12:05 |
| EnGorDiaz | press f10 | 12:05 |
| EnGorDiaz | when you restart your computer keep holding on it | 12:06 |
| EnGorDiaz | and the bootloader should come up | 12:06 |
| dinesh_ | dr_wills: tell me how to do it | 12:06 |
| samphippen | kk | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | dinesh_, check the !wireless factoid. Ive managed to get ONE wireless card working of my 3 laptops | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | dinesh_, i just run wires now a days. | 12:06 |
| EnGorDiaz | then there should be an advanced option list | 12:06 |
| samphippen | EnGorDiaz, it went straight to grub | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | !wireless | dinesh_ | 12:06 |
| ubottu | dinesh_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 12:06 |
| Ad0 | anyone ? | 12:06 |
| * Morten_ hugs unop! | 12:06 | |
| EnGorDiaz | what about f12 | 12:07 |
| Morten_ | Thanks alot!! :) | 12:07 |
| EnGorDiaz | sometimes its different | 12:07 |
| EnGorDiaz | ok when its loading | 12:07 |
| unop | Morten_, working? | 12:07 |
| EnGorDiaz | your details when you boot press pause | 12:07 |
| dinesh_ | ubottu :i had tried the link but unable to get the solution | 12:07 |
| Morten_ | unop, that was all it took, thank oyu very much! | 12:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:07 |
| unop | Morten_, :) | 12:07 |
| EnGorDiaz | and then press f10 or f12 | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | it pays to watch the bios screens and see what keys it suggests to get to the bios menus | 12:07 |
| EnGorDiaz | yes dr willis | 12:08 |
| EnGorDiaz | your right | 12:08 |
| Dr_willis | You would think after all these years.. the mb makers would of decided on a common key. | 12:08 |
| EnGorDiaz | no its different for each comp i know its gay | 12:08 |
| EnGorDiaz | mbr is crap anyway | 12:08 |
| EnGorDiaz | im currently working on getting 2 os's to run on dual screen | 12:09 |

| EnGorDiaz | at once | 12:09 |
| Ad0 | is there a way to force stereo mode in ubuntu? | 12:09 |
| EnGorDiaz | yes there is if you click preferences | 12:10 |
| EnGorDiaz | on a audio player there might be | 12:10 |
| WeGWeZeN | can somebody help me with the spm. it gets the packege so it says but i dont see it installed | 12:11 |
| EnGorDiaz | .rpm you mean | 12:11 |
| EnGorDiaz | you have to download .debs | 12:11 |

| Dr_willis | !alien | 12:11 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 12:11 |
| RickX | can anyone tell me if there is a way to remote login to a ubutu machine like you can to a windows machine? ... you are presented with a login screen and chose which use to login as ?? | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | RickX, freenx, or vnc can do that. | 12:12 |
| === drs305 is now known as drs305_afk | ||
| EnGorDiaz | aline can convert the packages | 12:12 |
| hateball | RickX: You can just use SSH with Xforwarding tho... much faster | 12:12 |
| WeGWeZeN | thanks ubottu, i could have know that :( sorry for the trouble) | 12:12 |
| EnGorDiaz | if there i383 686 484 | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | RickX, or use xming and xdmcp is another way. | 12:13 |
| N0_Named_Guy | good mornig everyone | 12:13 |
| RickX | Dr_willis, with VNC, son't you just get whatever screen/account that is showing on the rmeote machine at that time? | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | RickX, totally not. thats ONE way vnc can be used. | 12:13 |
| [z] | anyone know why i get this error message in freenx client when im trying to connect through internet connection? http://paste.ubuntu.com/41841/ | 12:13 |

| RickX | xming, xdcmp... I llo at those. | 12:13 |
| RickX | ... look at those... | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | RickX, and i never use it that way. You could have a dozen+ seperate vnc sessions going with different desktops | 12:13 |

| quentusrex_lapto | I've found a problem that Ubuntu needs to take a close look at. No headless Hardy server can generate a gpg key due to not enough entropy. | 12:14 |
| EnGorDiaz | have you tryed running 2 os's on dual screen | 12:14 |
| quentusrex_lapto | I've tried it on 10 different machines | 12:14 |
| EnGorDiaz | what im thinking of doing is tricky | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | EnGorDiaz, i dont know what you mean by 'running 2 os's' | 12:14 |
| RickX | Dr_willis, Ok ... looks like I hae to do more readig on vnc. Thanks. | 12:14 |
| EnGorDiaz | its using 2 seperate graphics controllers | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | EnGorDiaz, i use 2 monitors all the time.. but thats not 2 os's | 12:15 |
| quentusrex_lapto | all actively providing different services such as samba, apache, etc | 12:15 |
| EnGorDiaz | no virtual machine on one | 12:15 |
| [z] | anyone know why i get this error message in freenx client when im trying to connect through internet connection? http://paste.ubuntu.com/41841/ | 12:15 |
| EnGorDiaz | and the other | 12:15 |
| EnGorDiaz | just normal ubuntu | 12:15 |
| EnGorDiaz | and patching the virtual machine to work with the other graphics card | 12:15 |
| Dr_willis | EnGorDiaz, run virtualbox, drag it over to the 2nd monitor.. done... unless ya got some other clarification on wha tyou want to do. | 12:15 |
| EnGorDiaz | no i want full screen | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | thats all ive ever done. | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | I can fullscreen stuff on the 2nd monitor.. | 12:16 |
| EnGorDiaz | so i use vmware | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | nvidia + twinview allow that | 12:16 |
| EnGorDiaz | player | 12:16 |
| N0_Named_Guy | hey guys: does ubuntu (with gnome) support dual screen (extended desktop) | 12:16 |
| unohu | EnGorDiaz: patching virtualmachine? | 12:16 |
| EnGorDiaz | i am going to get a new comp | 12:16 |
| * WeGWeZeN if someone wants to help me and has a bot of patience with this dummy, please get me private | 12:16 | |
| EnGorDiaz | and i have the tutorials ready for it | 12:16 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: yes | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | I recall vmware being one of the 'dumb' programs that broke the way Twinview worked. | 12:16 |
| N0_Named_Guy | ok, how to do it? | 12:16 |
| unop | quentusrex, you can generate some entropy by launching a process intensive process. something like. perl -ne 'print rand $$ while 1' or find / | 12:16 |
| N0_Named_Guy | because I have a sony vaio cr11s/w | 12:17 |
| N0_Named_Guy | and when I connect it | 12:17 |
| jrib | WeGWeZeN: best to just ask the channel your question | 12:17 |
| N0_Named_Guy | it wont let me have extended desktop | 12:17 |
| EnGorDiaz | i have to download the ultimatecdforwindows and other crap because im applying for a technician at this company westan.com.au | 12:17 |
| adam7 | WeGWeZeN: what package did it say it installed? | 12:17 |
| EnGorDiaz | ahhh but doctor im configuring the x.org file to work with my two graphics card and start the virtual machine | 12:18 |
| WeGWeZeN | nonot one adam. when i use dthe manager it says install, on whatever i choose. but i cant find it with : whereis | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | EnGorDiaz, never done that . sorry | 12:18 |
| unop | quentusrex, sorry make that. perl -e 'print rand $$ while 1' | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | EnGorDiaz, all ive done is enable twinview and enable both screens. you could spawn 2 x servers also if you wanted. | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | but thats not using twinview | 12:18 |
| EnGorDiaz | i dnt really need help with it im just proud of the fact i can run full 3d on 2 os's | 12:18 |
| EnGorDiaz | running at once | 12:18 |
| N0_Named_Guy | aw, adam7 (since you were the one who answered me) the picture shows of as black and white, because it is connect in the S-VIDEO port to a common television | 12:19 |
| EnGorDiaz | ahhh yes maybe i can have 2 x servers | 12:19 |
| Dr_willis | I dident think vmware could get 'full 3d' | 12:19 |
| unohu | EnGorDiaz: can you share the link to the tutorial....it seems interesting | 12:19 |
| adam7 | WeGWeZeN: did you select install then press the apply button at the top? | 12:19 |
| N0_Named_Guy | and it is not extended desktop btw adam7 | 12:19 |
| EnGorDiaz | after i start ubuntu the system will auto start | 12:19 |
| eth01 | this channel has diteriated so rapidly | 12:19 |
| EnGorDiaz | well the graphics cards will be configures | 12:20 |
| EnGorDiaz | configured | 12:20 |
| luwening | ? | 12:20 |
| EnGorDiaz | unohu i will once | 12:20 |
| EnGorDiaz | i have done this | 12:20 |
| EnGorDiaz | this is a test thing | 12:20 |
| EnGorDiaz | when i get my new comp | 12:20 |
| FloodBot1 | EnGorDiaz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:20 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: I'm not entirely sure you can do extended desktop with an svideo cable... can someone confirm or deny that? | 12:20 |
| guillem101 | Hmm, I can change the pointer to an animated one, but the "Default pointer" reverts to plain old X11 ones, so the GDM login screen keeps using them... | 12:20 |
| EnGorDiaz | i also need 4 gig ram | 12:20 |
| WeGWeZeN | yes i did. for example aircrack / network / -ng / mark for instal / apply / installed .... ~> and it doesnt apear in appl internet | 12:20 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: if I can't extend it, at least how can I put it working on color | 12:20 |
| unohu | EnGorDiaz: dont worry... just want to understand how its done....so i wont disturb u with questions...just need the link | 12:21 |
| anhdh | what sever type i can use in evolution mail?? i use gmail | 12:21 |

| guillem101 | The pointers I've are "Default Pointer" (old X11), "DMZ-Black", "DMZ-White", contrastlarge, handgelds, redglass and whiteglass... | 12:21 |
| EnGorDiaz | ram3,4osx | 12:21 |

| adam7 | WeGWeZeN: open a terminal, type aircrack, and then press the TAB key | 12:22 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: because all I want to do is to watch my multimedia stuff in the television | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis | Unless vmware has some new features i dont see how one gets 'full 3d' support with vmware. bug its bed time for me. | 12:22 |
| EnGorDiaz | willis i will patch it | 12:22 |
| EnGorDiaz | dont worry | 12:22 |
| guillem101 | anhdh: gmail supports both pop3 and imap protocols if you enable them at the gmail's preferences | 12:22 |
| EnGorDiaz | i know how i think i can do it | 12:22 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: that's possible. one second | 12:22 |
| zhaozhou | What's the package manager called in Ubuntu again? | 12:22 |

| anhdh | guillem101, ok i'll 5try | 12:23 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: kthx :) | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis | that would be an impressive patch - given that feature has been asked for , for ages for vmware. | 12:23 |
| jrib | zhaozhou: APT | 12:23 |
| adam7 | zhaozhou: apt | 12:23 |
| zhaozhou | I mean, the GUI version. :-) | 12:23 |
| WeGWeZeN | the tab just gives me a bleeb.... | 12:23 |
| jrib | zhaozhou: synaptic | 12:23 |
| N0_Named_Guy | EnGorDiaz: yeah, that's why I'm progressivly shifting to linux XD | 12:23 |
| adam7 | zhaozhou: synaptic | 12:23 |
| Ad0 | I think I got it to work | 12:23 |
| guillem101 | anhdh: if you use IMAP is perhaps slower at the beginning but you actually use evolution as a frontend to the real gmail! | 12:23 |
| EnGorDiaz | ahh it might have some bugs at first but im going to show alot of ppl what i can do | 12:23 |
| Ad0 | sounds like I had fatter sound when I chose ALSA | 12:23 |
| unohu | EnGorDiaz: oh...you were going to patch it??? i though somebody has already done and you were following that.... | 12:23 |
| Ad0 | might be an illusion | 12:23 |
| unohu | LOL | 12:23 |
| zhaozhou | adam7: jrib: thank you. :-D | 12:23 |

| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: and in windows it sends PAL image | 12:27 |
| quentusrex | unop, The perl command still doesn't work... | 12:28 |
| Brian88 | adam7: I don't patience.. do you know the answer?? | 12:28 |
| unop | !doesntwork | quentusrex | 12:28 |
| ubottu | quentusrex: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:28 |
| quentusrex | lol | 12:28 |
| quentusrex | unop, the perl command still doesn't generate enough entropy for gpg to generate a key... | 12:29 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: shouldn't have to be. I don't know how much you know about Xorg but you maybe can just put the http://pastebin.com/m727da3e6 line in the screen section of xorg (again if you have questions ask :) | 12:29 |
| quentusrex | I see no significant improvement in the generation of entropy... | 12:29 |
| Chro4 | Ok I got the install running but now I have a message about ACPI no DMI BIOS year acpi=force is required to enable ACPI...... What is ACPI and how would I force it? | 12:29 |
| unop | quentusrex, did you say this was a headless server? | 12:29 |
| quentusrex | yes | 12:29 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: ok I will, but at this moment I don't have the vaio nearby... :S | 12:29 |
| quentusrex | I'm ssh'd in... | 12:30 |

| eitri | I've installed first ubuntu on one hd, then I've installed XP on a second hd(pysical apart). ubuntu hd is master, XP is slave. I think I've found XP in GRUB, but it doesn't load(or takes ages). Does anyone know what to do? | 12:30 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: I suppose you be hanging around this channel =P | 12:30 |
| adam7 | WeGWeZeN: you shouldn't have to make && make install anything. Just sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng and then run aircrack-ng | 12:30 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: I'll be in the channel, don't know if I'll be at the computer though :) Lots of people in here, so don't worry, someone can help you | 12:30 |

| danboid | How do I upload a (text) file so that I can link to it on the ubuntu wiki? | 12:35 |
| bazhang | EnGorDiaz, why do you need avast; usually a firewall is enough | 12:35 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: Okay, that was the same link. This is the right one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545242 | 12:35 |
| EnGorDiaz | anyway cya guys i need to go im going to discuss this on the forums | 12:35 |
| bazhang | danboid, upload to where | 12:35 |
| EnGorDiaz | baz im using a network here so avast will be patch as an os | 12:35 |
| EnGorDiaz | using the bart cd | 12:35 |
| bazhang | EnGorDiaz, what is the bart cd | 12:36 |
| EnGorDiaz | then i will run ipcop on a second monitor | 12:36 |
| WeGWeZeN | seems to be on there adam7 :) although only in terminal, Just says no file to cr@ck, it must be working, thanks. | 12:36 |
| Chro4 | ACPI=FORCE error during initail part of install | 12:36 |
| EnGorDiaz | i will give you info on it | 12:36 |
| adam7 | !apt | WeGWeZeN you might want to take a look at this | 12:36 |
| ubottu | WeGWeZeN you might want to take a look at this: 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) | 12:36 |

| EnGorDiaz | http://avast.com/eng/avast_bart_cd_downlo.html | 12:37 |
| bazhang | danboid, yes; but upload to where | 12:37 |
| Markus | Dan6688: those people have problems with their X-server. My problem is the fact that I am locked out from /home and all its subfolders. This leaves me unable to log in in any other way than failsafe terminal, simply because all settings for GNOME (failsafe or not) is located inside the /home-directory. | 12:37 |
| * WeGWeZeN thanks i will look at that right now adam7 & ubottu | 12:37 | |
| EnGorDiaz | thats the bart cd except im going to modify the daemon to work with scanning all files which are being accessed on the main unix and windows servers | 12:37 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Markus, sudo chown -R username /home/folder | 12:37 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: Maybe login as root and change permissions for the directories under /home? | 12:37 |
| EnGorDiaz | we wotn need an anti virus on there | 12:37 |
| EnGorDiaz | with the ipcop | 12:38 |
| unop | Markus, Jewfro-Macabbi, you want to be careful with that command | 12:38 |
| anhdh | how can i build a deb file and what it needs to build one ??? | 12:38 |
| Markus | I have tried both chown and chmod. nothing have worked | 12:38 |
| EnGorDiaz | anyway seeya ppl | 12:38 |
| Chro4 | ACPI=FORCE error during initial part of install? | 12:38 |
| quentusrex | How do I export a gpg key from one ubuntu machine and set it as default on another? so the second machine can encrypt stuff... | 12:38 |
| bazhang | anhdh, what exactly do you need to build | 12:38 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: That's strange. | 12:38 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Markus -with the -R meaning recursive? | 12:38 |
| Markus | no, not with -r | 12:38 |
| danboid | bazhang: exactly. I can't find any docs or help on the ubuntu wiki | 12:38 |
| Markus | what does recursive mean? | 12:39 |
| quentusrex | I've decided that since I can't generate a secret key on my server that I'll generate the key on my desktop, and export it to the server. | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | Markus, be sure the drive isent getting some sort of error and getting remounted 'read only' also. seen that happen also. | 12:39 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: "Subdirectories included" | 12:39 |

| Jewfro-Macabbi | Markus, you'll need chown -R , means it changes ownership on all the files in a directory | 12:39 |
| quentusrex | I have run gpg --export 0x********>repo.key | 12:39 |
| bazhang | danboid, one needs some webspace to host files on to have a place to upload to | 12:39 |
| anhdh | bazhang, i don't know , ^^ | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | Markus, yea the recursive opton would also be needed to set all subfiles/dirs to be owned by the user. | 12:39 |
| quentusrex | and gpg --export-secret-key 0x*********>private.key | 12:39 |
| quentusrex | then I scp'd them to the server. then I imported the keys. How do I set gpg to use them??? | 12:40 |
| SaraSmith | i'm on a live cd version of hardy, but it has no icons nor dropdowns in the top bar? what to do? | 12:40 |
| Dan6688 | SaraSmith: Install it =P | 12:40 |
| SaraSmith | Dan6688 huh? | 12:40 |
| adam7 | SaraSmith: reboot? | 12:40 |
| Markus | even though I did chown and chmod (700) on just the /home-dir, I wasn't able to cd into /home... | 12:40 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | quentusrex, gpg --import | 12:40 |
| bazhang | SaraSmith, where did you dl this from | 12:40 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: I ran into some trouble | 12:40 |
| Markus | So I don't think -r would solve the problem right now | 12:40 |
| amrita | hey all | 12:40 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: I used the Display Preferences menu | 12:40 |

| SaraSmith | bazhang joe's old and ratty bad cd download emporium | 12:41 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: and it has recognized the TV | 12:41 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: As in, a+x and the such. | 12:41 |
| unop | Markus, do you get any error messages when running those commands? | 12:41 |
| Markus | none | 12:41 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: but there is no output to TV | 12:41 |
| bazhang | SaraSmith, that does not sound like a real dl site | 12:41 |
| pajamian | Markus: 755 | 12:41 |
| unop | Markus, do you get any errors while trying to log on? | 12:41 |
| SaraSmith | bazhang seriously .. ubuntu and checksumed | 12:41 |

| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: I turned off the compiz btw | 12:41 |
| amrita | is there any tool available to work with movie subtitles (sync subtitles) for ubuntu ? | 12:41 |
| unop | Markus, can you list a few or give us an idea. | 12:41 |
| unop | pajamian, 700 does | 12:41 |
| Dan6688 | !pastebin | 12:42 |
| ubottu | 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) | 12:42 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: Could you paste them there? | 12:42 |
| quentusrex | awesome. thanks Jewfro-Macabbi and unop | 12:42 |
| pajamian | not on /home, it means only root can see /home | 12:42 |
| Dr_willis | amrita, i belive mplayer/mencoder can do that.. i saw some info on it - on the mplayer homepage the other day. the faq mentioned a lot of things about subtutle formats and timing | 12:42 |
| Markus | It would be difficult to paste them here | 12:42 |
| unop | pajamian, i think we are talking about his home dir here .. atleast i hope so | 12:42 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: sometimes rebooting can kick it into gear | 12:42 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: True. *rolls eyes*. | 12:42 |
| * WeGWeZeN im thanking a bot omg aint i sad | 12:43 | |
| amrita | mplayer => movie player ? | 12:43 |
| unop | Markus, can you paste the error to a pastebin? | 12:43 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: as you may have guessed multimonitor support on linux is not too good | 12:43 |
| pajamian | [04:40] <Markus> even though I did chown and chmod (700) on just the /home-dir, I wasn't able to cd into /home... | 12:43 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | amrita, no what ubuntu calls "movie player" is totem - mplayer is diff | 12:43 |
| SaraSmith | i like mplayer | 12:43 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: What did it say when you tried to cd into /home? | 12:43 |
| Markus | Acess denied | 12:43 |
| unop | pajamian, /home-dir is ambiguous .. i would err on the side of him making a typo with it | 12:44 |
| amrita | then what is mplayer ? | 12:44 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: And you tried sudo, right? | 12:44 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: ok | 12:44 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: about that i see ;) | 12:44 |
| amrita | frm where can i download mplayer ? | 12:44 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | amrita, http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html | 12:44 |
| Markus | yes I tried sudo cd /home, bot that don't work | 12:44 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: And did you become root and cd into it to see if you can? | 12:44 |
| zhaozhou | amrita: synaptic :-) | 12:44 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | amrita, it's in the repo, but I think maybe you have to add a repository first | 12:44 |
| zhaozhou | Markus: try just cd /home | 12:44 |

| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: when I end my college degree, I'll develop code to do so :P | 12:45 |
| pajamian | Markus: that won't work, no | 12:45 |
| zhaozhou | unop: Markus: it does work. sudo starts a new shell with root access, that shell cd's to /home, then it exists successfully. | 12:45 |
| Markus | But, the error-messages I mentioned basicly tells me I don't have access to /home, and that nothing will work in my system. | 12:45 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: a reboot won't kick it xD | 12:45 |
| j-zero | moin! | 12:46 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: did you add the line to xorg? | 12:46 |
| unop | zhaozhou, what do you mean exactly? | 12:46 |
| Markus | I don't think it'll work in failsafe terminal | 12:46 |
| pajamian | Markus: try: sudo chmod 755 /home | 12:46 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: Have you installed Ubuntu recently or has this just "randomly" happened? | 12:46 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: yes of course | 12:46 |
| j-zero | anybody got an lenovo thinkpad with working trackpoint AND touchpad? | 12:46 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: I've done it with the line | 12:46 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: and without the line | 12:47 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: ok. How did you get it working earlier with the wrong colors? | 12:47 |
| Markus | I installed it some weeks ago, but just recently I had no write-permissions to /home | 12:47 |
| unop | zhaozhou, did you mean doing something like. sudo cd /home ??? | 12:47 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7:just plugged the cable in | 12:47 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: and that was it :) | 12:47 |
| unop | zhaozhou, if that's the case - that won't work | 12:47 |
| adam7 | Markus: you shouldn't have any write permissions to home as a normal user | 12:47 |
| Markus | So I tried to chmod it, and I got locked out from /home | 12:47 |
| zhaozhou | unop: exactly. | 12:47 |
| bullgard4 | How is the class of graphics called that a call of hdaps-gl produces in the program window 'IBM Accelerometer Demo'? | 12:47 |
| Dan6688 | Markus: Well, you shouldn't have write-permissions for /home, but you should have them for your _folder__under__/home_. | 12:47 |
| unop | zhaozhou, that won't work .. cd is not a command | 12:47 |
| amrita | okey u mean i have to add pkg with synaptic pkg mgr | 12:48 |
| Markus | yes, I know | 12:48 |
| zhaozhou | unop: err? | 12:48 |
| adam7 | Markus: is /home on a seperate partition? | 12:48 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: but whenever I plug the s-video cable in my vaio | 12:48 |
| zhaozhou | unop: how about change directory? | 12:48 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: it seems to recognize something | 12:48 |
| unop | zhaozhou, err what? cd is a bash builtin not a command | 12:48 |
| Markus | no | 12:48 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: like, the disposition of the gnome panels change | 12:48 |
| Markus | ahh | 12:48 |
| Markus | fuck it | 12:48 |
| unop | zhaozhou, meaning sudo does not know which executable to use when you type. sudo cd /home | 12:49 |
| Markus | I'll remove it and install Linux Mint | 12:49 |

| unop | zhaozhou, you are welcome to try it out for yourself. | 12:49 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: ok. You had an intel card? | 12:49 |
| j-zero | Well, anybody got a Notebook with a touchpad and a trackpoint working? | 12:49 |
| j-zero | nobody? | 12:49 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: yep | 12:49 |
| bullgard4 | j-zero: Me. | 12:49 |
| bizkit | hey hey | 12:49 |
| unop | zhaozhou, to work around. sudo bash -c 'cd /home; command' | 12:50 |
| bizkit | :D | 12:50 |
| pajamian | Markus: and sudo cd /home will not work... | 12:50 |
| bazhang | j-zero, just the trackpoint, no touchpad on this one | 12:50 |
| j-zero | hey bullgard4 | 12:50 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: ok, it's worth asking how to do svideo again to the whole channel since you've got the PAL thing fixed | 12:50 |
| Markus | no, pajamian | 12:50 |
| j-zero | I got some problems with my Lenovo Thinkpad R61i | 12:50 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: its a Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 | 12:50 |
| zhaozhou | unop: I were'nt the one having the problem. :-) | 12:50 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: it WAS working | 12:50 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: in gray colors | 12:50 |
| pajamian | Markus: it will cd to /home inside the sudo command but as soon as sudo exits (which is right after the cd completes) you will get the old dir back. | 12:50 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: but working | 12:50 |
| j-zero | When I enalbe the Touchpad, the middle mousebutton of the Trackpoint doesn't work vor scrolling | 12:50 |
| j-zero | for scrolling | 12:51 |
| unop | zhaozhou, well technically telling someone to do something that does not work is a problem eh. :) | 12:51 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: yeah, that's the funny part. I don't know :( | 12:51 |
| Markus | no, pajamian | 12:51 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: lol | 12:51 |
| guillem101 | OK, sweet it was just that "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" was required at the end :P | 12:51 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: but I guess (my logic) that the xorg line you gave me | 12:51 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: would work | 12:51 |
| Markus | it said "bash: sudo: cd: command does not exist" or something like that | 12:51 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: it makes sense | 12:51 |
| pajamian | Markus: ok, either way it doesn't work. | 12:52 |
| adam7 | N0_Named_Guy: it did look promising... | 12:52 |
| SaraSmith | is there another name for dropdown menu from the top bar? | 12:52 |
| N0_Named_Guy | adam7: nevermind, it was not that important | 12:52 |

| ikonia | chazco: what wifi driver do you use | 12:58 |
| * SaraSmith pats chazco gently | 12:58 | |
| pajamian | chazco: no way to fix, it's the nature of the beast with compiled kernel modules | 12:58 |
| adam7 | chazco: if the module didn't come with Ubuntu, then you get stuck recompiling it, I'm afraid | 12:58 |

| laptop | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons: I DONT CARE | 13:03 |
| pajamian | laptop: you misunderstand | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | laptop, we dont either.. :) | 13:03 |
| ikonia | local: why do you have to edit /etc/paswd - thats nothing to do with nfs | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | laptop, enable the medibuntu repos and you can 'sudo apt-get install google-earth' and it installs | 13:04 |
| ikonia | local: if you have to edito /etc/passwd - the problem is nothing to do with nfs | 13:04 |

| pajamian | chazco: also, if there is a module for it, but you have to compile it (as you imply) there is a good chance that ubuntu will support it in a future release. In fact check with the guys at #ubuntu+1 to see if it is supported in intrepid now. | 13:07 |

| lovinglinux | Toznoshio: this software is just for the librarian or it requires user features? | 13:46 |
| backenfutter | Why would this script echo into the lofile, even if the worldd process is running and throughs out a pid if you check manually? | 13:46 |
| backenfutter | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/83907/ | 13:46 |
| bazhang | benste, what happens when you launch from terminal what errors do you get; if over one line the paste to paste.ubuntu.com | 13:46 |
| benste | bazhang they're already posted in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693400#post5693400 | 13:47 |
| Toznoshio | lovinglinux: it is just for the librarian, to catalog and keep track of whom the books have been lent to | 13:47 |
| unop | backenfutter, what is this script trying to do actually? | 13:47 |
| unop | backenfutter, or rather, what are you hoping this script should do? | 13:47 |
| QickSilver_ | I think there may be a problem with the installer for the latest build. | 13:48 |
| backenfutter | unop, it starts a process shich is unstable and tends to crash... I have a cronjob set to run the script every minute... if no pid is found, restart the whole thing inside a detached screen and log the time and date to a file | 13:48 |
| backenfutter | which* | 13:49 |
| lovinglinux | Toznoshio: GCStar can do that, but I think you should go for something written in PHP/MySQL, so you could consider providing user services in the future. Anyways, GCStar allow to export SQL dumps. | 13:49 |
| unop | backenfutter, if pidof mangos-worldd; then echo is running; else echo not running; fi | 13:49 |
| gilligan_ | hi there.. anyone got evolution-plugins-experimental (8.10) installed? there's an ipod syncronization plugin in there.. wonder how that's supposed to work though | 13:50 |
| unop | backenfutter, no need to check $? like that | 13:50 |
| Toznoshio | lovinglinux: Thanks for the help | 13:50 |
| lovinglinux | Toznoshio: wait a second, I have more info | 13:51 |
| benste | bazhang did you read the post? | 13:51 |
| cap | I have new install on a HP Pavilion ze440. The default install seems to have included vlc plugi for firefox but am unable to play: http://ewtn.edgeboss.net/wmedia/ewtn/multicast/video/windowsmedia/homily_300k.wvx | 13:52 |
| lovinglinux | Toznoshio: try MovieFly. It is a port of AntrMovieCatalog, which is superb and can be modified to catalog book collection http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lmc/ | 13:53 |
| benste | why does it take so much time until someone answers me here ? | 13:53 |
| bazhang | benste, cant use other app than f-spot? | 13:53 |
| benste | it's not only f-spot | 13:54 |
| cap | It says transferring data at bottom but never plays. | 13:54 |
| benste | bazhang, it's not only f-spot | 13:54 |
| benste | bazhang it's also gnome-rdp | 13:54 |
| bazhang | benste, all apps? | 13:54 |
| benste | bazhang a couple of | 13:54 |
| QickSilver_ | Woot, cd-rom integrity is 100%, time to install ubuntu. | 13:54 |
| benste | bazhang all issues are related to dbus like described in the thread | 13:55 |
| bazhang | benste, why not find something that has similar capabilities to f-spot and use that | 13:55 |
| unop | backenfutter, you can have your script automatically run your app if it crashes with something like. while :; do execute_command; done | 13:55 |
| cap | bazhang: benste: I use gimp | 13:55 |
| unop | backenfutter, though i am not sure how you will fit screen into something like this. | 13:55 |
| backenfutter | unop, dont wanna waste to many threads on the script | 13:55 |
| benste | bazhang and what should I use instead gnome-rdp which is able to do remote connections to windowz | 13:55 |
| lovinglinux | Toznoshio: now that I saw MovieFly is not entirely complete, so I would recommend GCStar | 13:55 |
| bazhang | benste, indeed why not gimp | 13:55 |
| benste | bazhang normally I use gimp | 13:56 |
| backenfutter | unop, 60 sec is close enough ;P | 13:56 |
| bazhang | benste, what happened to make them stop working | 13:56 |
| unop | backenfutter, it does not waste any threads .. the command blocks the loop until it exits | 13:56 |
| benste | bazhang f-spot launchs also automaticly for camera import | 13:56 |
| unop | backenfutter, s/threads/cycles/ | 13:56 |
| cap | bazhang: If gimp is intalled, it should work.... | 13:56 |
| benste | bazhang --> lol when did they stop working :-) | 13:56 |
| bazhang | cap sure should | 13:56 |
| Toznoshio | lovinglinux: I'll first give GCStar and Alexandria a try since they are readily available in the repos, thanks | 13:56 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 13:57 |
| Chary | When installing the boot loader, do I install it within my boot specific partition? I can't remember (it's been a while). I clicked on advanced options and by default it's set to hd0, do I change that to the partition I've created for /boot? | 13:57 |
| lovinglinux | Toznoshio: you are welcome. Good luck. | 13:57 |
| Chary | Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 13:57 |
| benste | bazhang no of course they worked first, but last time I plugged in my camera I realized that they doesn't work anymore | 13:57 |
| benste | bazhang may this related to the boot option ACPI = 2 | 13:58 |
| bazhang | benste, what was installed since you last had it working | 13:58 |
| cap | Chary: grub-install /dev/hda | 13:58 |
| benste | bazhang nothing more, only updates, and I tried to get my FN keys working | 13:58 |
| cap | !grub-install | 13:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about grub-install | 13:59 |
| benste | bazhang so tweaking Xorg and ACPI | 13:59 |
| Yufei | Test | 13:59 |
| cap | !grub | 13:59 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:59 |
| Chary | This is via the actual OS install, not via terminal. | 13:59 |
| bazhang | tweaking acpi? benste | 13:59 |
| benste | someone told me to edit the grub boot option to something like acpi=2 | 13:59 |
| cap | Chary: Oh, well, just depends on your situation, but usually, you'll just want to instal to /dev/hda | 13:59 |
| benste | bazhang | 14:00 |
| cap | Chary: If it is IDE | 14:00 |
| cap | Chary: But should automatically detect and just give you the option. | 14:00 |
| benste | bazhang and there was something in etc/acpi or something with sonyfn scipts | 14:00 |
| tapas | hi, i booted ubuntu on my thinkpad t61 and it said "running in low graphics mode, you need to configure the display manuallu" | 14:00 |
| tapas | i then types starts and it comes up with the right resolution anyways | 14:01 |
| cap | tapas: Whad display adapter do you have? | 14:01 |
| tapas | nvidia quadro something | 14:01 |
| benste | tapas, why don't you install nvidia driver | 14:01 |
| benste | tapas try envi | 14:01 |
| tapas | quadro nvs 140m | 14:01 |
| tapas | i just wondered if it's still alright to go ahead with the install | 14:02 |
| tapas | :) | 14:02 |
| cap | tapas: You should see an icon at top of screen offering to install "restricted driver" (or something to that effect). | 14:02 |
| benste | bazhang, no idea? | 14:02 |
| Chary | cap: Thanks for the information, much appreciated. | 14:02 |
| tapas | cap: there isn't. i guess i first go ahead and install it to the hd, then i can fumble with it.. | 14:03 |

Anyone with this error have any suggestions? I have tried http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Gui | 14:03 |
| monostone | de and also tried envy and manual build from source, I have no problems using vesa, radeonhd drivers, and I remember the fglrx+compiz combo working fine on gutsy | 14:03 |
| bazhang | benste, why were you 'tweaking' acpi and what exactly did you do there | 14:03 |
| LjL | Boon1: not a good way to introduce yourself. | 14:03 |
| LjL | !etiquette > Boon1 (Boon1, see the private message from Ubotu) | 14:03 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart | 14:03 |
| Boon1 | omg not u the bot again | 14:03 |
| debaimbo | hello everyone, everything works fine in my ubuntu hardy, except videos. Both with vlc and totem they appear "shrunk", I mean the height is right but the width is not, so the images appear extremely distorted? can anyone help? | 14:03 |
| LjL | !gparted > dabbu (dabbu, see the private message from Ubotu) | 14:03 |
| ubottu | dabbu, please see my private message | 14:03 |
| benste | bazhang -> I tried to get my FN keys working with someone from ubuntuforums and launchpad | 14:04 |
| bazhang | Boon1, dont use that language here | 14:04 |
| LinuxReign | !gparted | 14:04 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 14:04 |
| Boon1 | sorry lol | 14:04 |
| bazhang | Boon1, its not funny | 14:04 |
| LjL | !msg the bot > LinuxReign | 14:04 |
| ubottu | LinuxReign, please see my private message | 14:04 |
| tapas | ah damn, i'll download final iso first | 14:04 |
| Boon1 | :o | 14:04 |
| Boon1 | bazhang can u help me with my ubuntu problem then/ | 14:05 |
| LjL | maybe someone can if you specify the problem. | 14:05 |
| bazhang | benste, and did the fix work | 14:05 |
| cap | tapas: what are you trying to do? | 14:05 |
| Boon1 | well | 14:05 |
| benste | bazhang only partly | 14:05 |
| Boon1 | it all started after i had been install some new pachages for my Ubuntu 8.04 | 14:05 |
| Boon1 | i shut down | 14:05 |
| Boon1 | rebboted the next day | 14:05 |
| Boon1 | then when i get to the loginscreen it flickers on and off to a cream backdrop | 14:06 |
| benste | bazhang now I'm able to increase my brightness with the wrong key | 14:06 |
| LjL | Boon1, i see you have not checked the bot's message. | 14:06 |
| Boon1 | and contiuosly does this | 14:06 |
| bazhang | benste, I think that is the source of your problems; what happens in the livecd for example and how old is this install | 14:06 |
| LjL | !enter > Boon1 (Boon1, see the private message from Ubotu) | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Boon1, please see my private message | 14:06 |
| Boon1 | its an epic story tho | 14:06 |
| benste | bazhang this install is since Alpha 6 of HArdy | 14:06 |
| Boon1 | so can any1 help? | 14:06 |
| amenado | !info qt4.4 | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Package qt4.4 does not exist in hardy | 14:06 |
| benste | bazhang so may this year | 14:06 |
| bazhang | Boon1, dont use enter as punctuation | 14:07 |
| LjL | Boon1: most likely X is failing to stay up, either because it's not really starting, or because it doesn't find a DE to start. make sure the package "ubuntu-desktop" is installed. | 14:07 |
| Boon1 | what is the command line i use in root? | 14:07 |
| Boon1 | i can acess root | 14:07 |
| LjL | Boon1: why would it be in root? | 14:07 |
| amikrop | Can I have iTunes or an alternative, on linux (I want to transfer mp3 to my iPhone)? | 14:07 |
| bazhang | benste, and what happens when you try the livecd? does the problem go away? | 14:07 |
| LjL | Boon1: apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | 14:07 |
| cap | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 14:07 |
| benste | didn't try | 14:07 |
| Boon1 | :O ill try both how bout that lol | 14:08 |
| cap | Boon1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 14:08 |
| bazhang | benste, do you have a separate home partition | 14:08 |
| benste | bazhang no | 14:08 |
| benste | only a 2nd Win an win recovery partitiopn | 14:08 |
| FSHP | hello. I compiller kernel. not sound. =-O | 14:08 |
| benste | bazhang next time - when I install 8.10 I'll create a home partition wthout windows:) | 14:09 |
| bazhang | benste, it sounds like when you were mucking with acpi you did some damage | 14:09 |
| Boon1 | becuz i tried altering the data in xorg.conf, but there was no number set for resolutuion and i couldn't find one | 14:09 |
| cinex | ok. when you connect a device there is a file somewhere that tells the computer what to do with it. | 14:09 |
| cinex | does anybody know what file, so I can look it up. | 14:09 |
| benste | bazhang really | 14:09 |
| bazhang | cinex, dmesg? | 14:09 |
| cap | I have problem with my new install. Firefox will not play http://ewtn.edgeboss.net/wmedia/ewtn/multicast/video/windowsmedia/homily_300k.wvx (even though it shows to have vlc plugin installed). | 14:09 |
| benste | bazhang what relationship is between ACPI and dbus? | 14:09 |
| LjL | Boon1: that's because, in Hardy, that's all detected automatically (or should be) | 14:10 |
| Boon1 | hmm | 14:10 |
| bazhang | benste, what about setting back to normal from your tweaking; also what 'tweaking' did you do to xorg precisely | 14:10 |
| Boon1 | i was told that there is a number setting which can be changed which can fix the problem but i couldn't find it in particular | 14:10 |
| cinex | bazhang: no. there is a configuration file im sure I've come across it before. so that i can execute truecrypt automatically when I plug in my encrypted SD card | 14:10 |
| benste | bazhang - tweaking xorg was for using nvidia driver | 14:11 |
| benste | bazhang resetting ACPI - don't know who | 14:11 |
| benste | bazhang how | 14:11 |
| bazhang | benste, where did you set the acpi tweaks | 14:11 |
| mEDEc__ | okay, i have a quick question -- is it possible to be connected to both wifi and LAN at the same time in ubuntu? | 14:12 |
| benste | bazhang 1. in grub, and 2. in the dir where you find sony increase brightness script | 14:12 |
| mEDEc__ | i can do it in windows | 14:12 |
| bazhang | mEDEc__, check load balancing | 14:12 |
| benste | bazhang when I use the old grub option there is no X anymore | 14:12 |
| tapas | mEDEc__: for what purpose? | 14:13 |
| bazhang | benste, where is the acpi tweak set exactly | 14:13 |
| benste | you mean wich dir? | 14:13 |
| tapas | of course wlan and lan are kinda sorta simply just netwoik interfaces.. so you can of course use more than one at the same time | 14:13 |
| benste | bazhang you mean which dir? | 14:13 |
| QickSilver_ | mEDEc_, Just wondering but does it go faster that way? | 14:13 |
| tapas | lalala resizing partition stays at 0% | 14:14 |
| === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber | ||
| tapas | oh yeah. | 14:14 |
| benste | bazhang /etc/acpi/events | 14:14 |
| cap | FYI: Billix (from sourceforge) has Ubuntu net install. It works rather well. There is ISO and usb thumb drive images for download. (It has other stuff too, but is quick easy way to get started with ubuntu instal if you have broadband and no CD. | 14:14 |
| tapas | there's hd activity though, so i;ll wait a bit | 14:14 |
| LjL | cap, official Ubuntu also comes with a "minimal" CD for net install | 14:14 |
| LjL | !minimal | 14:14 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:14 |
| cap | LjL: Thnx, didn't know that. | 14:15 |
| mEDEc__ | tapas, i want to be able to access two networks at once | 14:16 |
| cap | I have problem with my new install. Firefox will not play http://ewtn.edgeboss.net/wmedia/ewtn/multicast/video/windowsmedia/homily_300k.wvx (even though it shows to have vlc plugin installed). | 14:16 |
| mEDEc__ | QickSilver_, no, i doubt it goes faster :) | 14:16 |
| tapas | mEDEc__: sure.. you will have to fiddle with the routing though depending on your scenario | 14:16 |
| QickSilver_ | And it talks about the minimal CD where on the website? (Kinda mad I've downloaded 4 isos just to get a working one) | 14:16 |
| cap | LjL: Very good, minimal install iso is only 9.5MB | 14:16 |
| LjL | QickSilver_: uh, on that link...? | 14:17 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find the definitions of the physical quantities used in /sys/devies/platform/smapi/BAT0/ ? | 14:17 |
| mEDEc__ | tapas, all right. so it not something i can do quick without a lot of config editing and whatnot? | 14:17 |
| cap | Here is info about billix: http://www.ntlug.org/BP-trryhend/Billix-ASysadminSSwissArmyKnife?action=view | 14:18 |
| tapas | mEDEc__: it depends on what you want to do | 14:18 |
| mEDEc__ | as i said, i just want to be able to access two networks at once :) | 14:19 |
| tapas | mEDEc__: are these networks disjunct? | 14:19 |
| mEDEc__ | disjunct? | 14:19 |
| Arkenklo | hi all! | 14:19 |
| Arkenklo | is this an english irc? | 14:19 |
| tapas | i.e. or are there addresses that are reachable over both networks? | 14:19 |
| zethero1 | where is the root trash located? | 14:19 |
| LjL | Arkenklo: yes | 14:20 |
| jrib | Arkenklo: this particular channel is | 14:20 |
| Arkenklo | okey | 14:20 |
| mEDEc__ | tapas, no | 14:20 |
| jrib | zethero1: /root/.local/share/Trash I guess? | 14:20 |
| wols_ | zethero1 since there is no root account there is no root tash | 14:20 |
| wols_ | *trash | 14:20 |
| tapas | mEDEc__: then just use ifconfig to set appropriate network masks and addresses and it should work fine i guess | 14:20 |
| segagman | can you waste me? ill give my ip and keep shared desk? im open...any takers? | 14:20 |
| zethero1 | jrib, thanks | 14:20 |
| wols_ | tapas: man interfaces | 14:20 |
| jrib | segagman: this isn't a channel for that | 14:21 |

| segagman | im testing ubuntu yes it is | 14:21 |

| sourav1234 | hello | 14:22 |
| mEDEc__ | ahh, all right. was trying to find a gui for it, didn't even think of that i could do it through ifconf :P thanks, tapas | 14:22 |
| segagman | my net is free | 14:22 |
| MrCraig | hi all | 14:22 |
| segagman | old school password | 14:22 |
| tapas | mEDEc__: maybe editing /etc/network/interfaces woulb be more ubuntu'ish | 14:23 |
| jrib | segagman: do you have a question concerning an issue you are having with ubuntu? | 14:23 |
| LjL | segagman: we don't encourage or support giving third-party access to machines and advertizing it on this channel. | 14:23 |
| MrCraig | could someone please tell me how to instruct apt to install the 32-bit version of a package on a 64-bit intel? | 14:23 |

| xupas | can any one help me configure my wireless? | 14:23 |
| wols_ | MrCraig: you need a full chroot of the 32bit software | 14:23 |
| MrCraig | wols could I download the packages and do that with dpkg? | 14:23 |
| segagman | i want you all to test my network....my ubuntu network | 14:23 |
| wols_ | MrCraig: no | 14:23 |
| mEDEc__ | thanks, tapas. i'll look into it ;) | 14:23 |
| xupas | have any easy way? | 14:23 |
| bazhang | segagman, not here | 14:24 |
| cap | I did net install. | 14:24 |
| jrib | segagman: no, that's not a proper question here. Stop discussing it | 14:24 |

| bullgard4 | ikonia: I cannot find the relation to reality. BAT0 exist. BAT1 is questionable. It is shown with a zero design capacity. As far as I can see I can see only one battery. What phantom is there listed? | 14:42 |
| blake- | Jackiz: why would you use mirc through wine? | 14:43 |

| LimCore | I'm looking for filesystem that checksums file's data (or sectors) and verifies them on read (and best: have tools to verify them easly in IDLE or in maintaince). So that any media corruption will be detected. And best - FS which stores 2 copies of file (or sectors) and auto-recovers the correct one in case of failure. (A bit like some raid, but I think filesystem mirroring is better then blockdevice) | 14:49 |

I wnet into the network manager, configured it, and it seemed to work. however, after several minutes, it dissappeared. It didn't show up on the network manager anymore.

| arvind_khadri | !paste| cap | 15:09 |
| dsl1339 | wols_, but how do I know the device? | 15:09 |
| ubottu | cap: 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) | 15:09 |

| AnRkey | how do i see what link speed my nic is connected at? | 15:09 |
| wols_ | test27: bin file for what? | 15:09 |
| wols_ | AnRkey: ethtool should help. usually shows in dmesg too | 15:09 |
| kbrosnan | laptop: open a page with a text box and right click, uncheck check spelling | 15:10 |
| dsl1339 | wols_: oh, I needed sudo. Thanks | 15:10 |

| wols_ | test27: I asked you something | 15:11 |
| test27 | like google earth | 15:11 |
| wols_ | test27: google earth is in medibutnu repo. no need for a bin file | 15:11 |
| arvind_khadri | test27, make them executable and then run them... | 15:11 |
| wols_ | !medibuntu | test27 | 15:11 |
| ubottu | test27: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 15:11 |
| test27 | woaah | 15:11 |

However, Ubuntu still sets routes for eth0 resulting in duplicate routes (eth0 and br0). I removed the eth0 entries from /etc/network/interfaces without success. Any ideas? | 15:23 |

| test27 | i just want to reply someone here but i dont know how | 15:27 |
| bazhang | !minimal | Mr_Fixit | 15:27 |
| ubottu | Mr_Fixit: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:27 |

| vidd | Threethan, how could your router not be compatable? | 15:54 |
| Threethan | Hmm. Let me look at the page I was looking at, to see if I can explain it better. | 15:54 |
| wols_ | Threethan: how is your router connected? usb or ethernet? | 15:55 |
| Gun_Smoke | Zambezi, you have a mac? | 15:55 |
| Threethan | Ethernet. | 15:55 |
| vidd | Threethan, what kind of router? (dlink, linksys?) | 15:55 |
| karly | I just reinstalled ubuntu (5x) and I can't get it to boot. can someone help me? the screen tit ends at says (initramfs) | 15:55 |
| blip- | hi, i'm planning to move to ubuntu on my laptop. I've read about all the different unbutun/xubuntu/kubuntu flavours. WIth either of those, i will be running openbox window manager and will be making use of KDE programs such as Amarok and some Gnome programs such as Workrave.... which *buntu would be better suited and give me the lightest weight and speediest performance ? thanks | 15:56 |
| Threethan | Motorla (linksy looks familiar though) | 15:56 |
| bazhang | Threethan, ethernet? what kind of router. | 15:56 |
| LjL | blip-, there will hardly be any difference if you mix GNOME and KDE programs anyway | 15:56 |
| bazhang | karly, that is no longer supported. | 15:56 |
| prince_jammys | MohammadBoozary: they're probably in /etc/apache2 | 15:56 |
| bazhang | karly, get a more recent version and try again | 15:56 |
| blip- | LjL: if i went with xubuntu i'll be stuck with xfce libraries which i don't need. so perhaps KDE vs Gnome ? | 15:56 |
| vox | blip-: unless your laptop is more than 3 years old, anything you run on it is going to be fast. | 15:56 |
| vidd | Threethan, do you by chance mean modem and not router? how many ethernet jacks does it have? | 15:56 |
| MrNaz`` | karly is there a reason you're using such an old version ? | 15:57 |
| Threethan | It's the router, it's a motorola WR850G | 15:57 |
| Threethan | it has four jacks. | 15:57 |
| Threethan | It's supports wireless connection, but I use a cat5. (I feel techy using that term.) | 15:57 |
| stefan_ | threethan: you used kabelconnection and not point to poinTß | 15:57 |
| blip- | i don't know how the repositores and dependecnies are set up but if i went with ubuntu, can i pull ONLY the kdelibs needed to run Amarok and other basic KDE software or will i need to pull the entire KDE 100's of megs ? | 15:58 |
| Threethan | I used.. what? | 15:58 |
| LjL | blip-: well, the Xfce libraries won't take up very much, but still, if you're going to use KDE and GNOME programs, there's no real reason to use Xfce unless you particularly like it. i'd say use whatever you prefer, since really, unless you still to KDE/GNOME programs only, there won't be any noticeable difference. | 15:58 |
| vidd | Threethan, its a modem with router built in | 15:58 |
| dasdajs | hi, I've compiled sbnc and it's now running, but when I try to connect to a server through the bouncer, it says "Connection initialized. Waiting for response..." but then it disconnects? how do I fix this? :S | 15:58 |
| Threethan | I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 (Busty Bibbon - I think it's called.) | 15:58 |
| shiloh7 | from reading the forum im a little cinfused, if i add a wireless card, will i have to manually built drivers for it? | 15:58 |
| LjL | blip-, you don't need to pull *everything* from KDE, but most of the heavy-weight libraries *will* get installed, and take up time to load when you start a KDE program from GNOME | 15:58 |
| hickop | hi, how can i assign resize window to alt + right click please ? | 15:58 |
| vox | blip-: ubuntu will just pull down what's required to amarok/etc | 15:58 |
| saiki | bazhang: and now just one more to find.. "dolphin"... | 15:59 |
| Threethan | What's kabelconnection and point to point? | 15:59 |

| Gun_Smoke | LjL, thanks | 16:01 |
| karly | bazhang: sorry about that lol, its xubuntu 8.04 ,checked the media and its ok, I assume (initramfs) is the system booting into RAM instead of the disc? | 16:01 |

| saiki | Threethan: the modem/router you're trying to configure is? | 16:01 |
| Threethan | I can't, there's two other people using the connection besides myself. | 16:02 |
| stefan_ | threetthan: itś a littelbit hard to explain, go to ubuntu.com | 16:02 |
| vidd | Threethan, then simply press and hold the reset button on your router for 3-5 seconds, let it pick up your DSL connection, and you should be good to go | 16:02 |

| wols_ | Threethan: off topic | 16:20 |
| billi | i meam first i work on windows xp | 16:20 |
| wols_ | Threethan: don't bother about other people, bother about your own problem and do what I told you | 16:20 |
| Threethan | Uhh..? | 16:20 |
| Threethan | When did I say anything that was off topic? | 16:20 |
| wols_ | Threethan: I asked you something | 16:21 |
| trontonic | Threethan: OT means off topic. I was off topic too, I think. | 16:21 |
| saiki | Threethan: you didn't they handle multiple people | 16:21 |
| Threethan | I'm trying to do it. | 16:21 |
| Threethan | It's seriously going too fast for me to look at it. | 16:21 |
| rmaj | I'm looking for an fast to install full solution for very secure (against media/data corruption) storage. Best something that can be easly used INSIDE my desktops (ubuntu,debian; perhaps gentoo) can be via FUSE if needed; But also any other free solution via network server (ie server on say openbsd with access via ftp/ssh to files). What can you reccommend? Curently im looking into btrfs(for linux); and zfs via fuse on linux; | 16:21 |
| bobertdos | billi: Is it a grub prompt that you arrive at? | 16:21 |
| wols_ | Threethan: and I told you how to slow it down | 16:21 |
| billi | what to do | 16:21 |
| Threethan | And I did it. It's still going too fast. | 16:21 |
| saiki | wols_: point is, I'm trying to help, reguardless there are only 5 ips that routers use that I know about | 16:21 |
| djamel | billi, when you say command line, it's after grub ? you arrive on a page that says "login" ? | 16:22 |
| wols_ | saiki: there are 4 BILLION IPs and routers can easily use 16 million+ | 16:22 |
| nikhil | hey | 16:22 |
| karly | bazhang: after that it hangs on "megaraid: ABORTING-1[7d], fw owner." | 16:22 |
| billi | no | 16:22 |
| usser | rmaj, i would advise agains zfs on linux, since its in its early development still | 16:22 |
| boobek | n | 16:22 |
| quietus | saiki: im pretty sure they can use anything they want, depends how u configure them | 16:22 |
| boobek | hi | 16:22 |
| Leefmc | Question: I am trying to run a XAMPP server but it is being run from the root (/opt/lampp), how can i make the lamp/htdocs directory writable by anyone? So i can FTP Import a website into it | 16:22 |
| wols_ | saiki: which is why you check local IP, subnet and default gateway. then you know what IP to try | 16:22 |
| Threethan | I'm not trying to be a pain, I want this solved. | 16:22 |
| Kira | hmm | 16:22 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: we do not support xampp. xampp will break your ubuntu. HARD | 16:23 |
| rmaj | usser: is there any more mature technoology for my goal? btrfs seems early too | 16:23 |
| wols_ | Threethan: then do what I asked you | 16:23 |
| Leefmc | wols_: Eh? | 16:23 |
| Leefmc | wols_: Why loi | 16:23 |
| jrib | Threethan: your #ubuntu+1 issues should be discussed in #ubuntu+1. Incidentally, that channel will be a lot slower, so you can keep up more easily | 16:23 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: xampp is not in ubuntu and breaks it. not supported. | 16:23 |
| Threethan | I did. Again, and again, and again. | 16:23 |
| wols_ | Threethan: you use intrepid? | 16:23 |
| Kira | ”export PATH“ does not make the PATH variable survive a system restart, right? | 16:23 |
| Threethan | How do I know what is an ubuntu+1 question, and what a unbuntu question is. | 16:23 |
| wols_ | Kira: right | 16:23 |
| Leefmc | wols_: Ubuntu can't handle xampp? What does xampp do thats so anti-ubuntu? I ran it for years on Windows for a local dev environment | 16:23 |
| wols_ | Threethan: what are you running? right now? | 16:24 |
| jrib | Threethan: go to the #ubuntu+1 channel. That channel deals with Intrepid | 16:24 |
| Threethan | Not that I know of. I'm on my windows XP sp2 machine. | 16:24 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: it's not in ubuntu, it's no ubuntu quesiton. good day | 16:24 |
| usser | rmaj, a hardware based raid with pretty much any filesystem | 16:24 |
| Kira | wols_: to make it survive a system restart, I need to change the variable in ~/.profile, right? | 16:24 |
| Dante123 | P3 running at 450 mhz with 512 mb ram- what Linux would you recommend? Xubuntu? Or Another? | 16:24 |
| pistache | Hello all, juste a simple question, where do I need to go (IRC) to get an answer about a network problem (Configuring my routers and all my firewalls to allow my servers to be seen from outside) | 16:24 |
| wols_ | Kira: for example, yes | 16:24 |
| jrib | Threethan: what is your actual question? | 16:24 |
| wols_ | Threethan: last chance. run the command I told you about | 16:24 |
| Kira | wols_: you mean there are other ways? | 16:25 |
| Leefmc | wols_: .. you just said it breaks ubuntu, and that is my question as of now. I am asking what in ubuntu, it is incompatible with (and thus, that is an ubuntu question) | 16:25 |
| rmaj | usser: will not protect afair against some kinds of failures... and less portable.. I guess some sort of checksummenabled fs is what would suit me | 16:25 |
| bobertdos | Dante123: Yeah, Xubuntu | 16:25 |
| Threethan | How to get ubuntu to recognize my bloody router. | 16:25 |
| Dante123 | Would it run decently given those specs u think? | 16:25 |
| karly | bazhang: uh oh it did give me an alert here, do you want it tn pastebin? | 16:25 |
| bazhang | Threethan, using intrepid? | 16:25 |
| bazhang | karly, yes | 16:25 |
| Threethan | I'm using Windows. | 16:25 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: it breaks the packaging system. means you install stuff outside of it needlessly. not a ubuntu question. OT. if you want xampp help: go away | 16:25 |
| Threethan | I want to use ubuntu | 16:25 |
| Dante123 | bobertdos Would it run decently given those specs u think? | 16:25 |
| wols_ | !lamp | Leefmc | 16:25 |
| ubottu | Leefmc: 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+) | 16:25 |
| jrib | I think Threethan may have been mixed up with trontonic at some point | 16:25 |
| bazhang | Threethan, what version of ubuntu do you have installed | 16:25 |
| Threethan | I noticed. | 16:26 |
| Threethan | 7.10 | 16:26 |
| Leefmc | wols_: But fine, if you hate the word xampp, ignore it. How do i make a directory in root (that is, not in /home/user) writable by all programs? | 16:26 |
| usser | rmaj, a raid can be setup in different ways it can also devote a whole hdd to checksumming your data and as far as i know ppl havent come up with anything more secure than raid. but in terms of portability yea its gonna be kinda bulky | 16:26 |
| Leefmc | wols_: No that was an ubuntu question, you answered about the packaging system, thats all that was needed. Forget i ever mentioned xampp loi. | 16:26 |
| pistache | Hello all, juste a simple question, where do I need to go (IRC) to get an answer about a network problem (Configuring my routers and all my firewalls to allow my servers to be seen from outside) | 16:26 |
| wols_ | pistache: #networking. or your router manual (port forwarding | 16:26 |
| amenado | pistache-> here or in #networking mayby | 16:26 |
| === Guest82623 is now known as Lo | ||
| === Lo is now known as Locxjo | ||
| wols_ | amenado: here, only if the router runs ubuntu | 16:27 |
| bobertdos | Dante123: Eh, it would run okay, not brilliantly, but better than it would under Gnome or KDE. I don't want to go off-topic, but there are lots of other minimalistic distros you could try too. | 16:27 |
| rmaj | usser: afair zfs is more secure then raid, it will protect from power failure that happens when wwrite occures to both RAID devices (and corrupts them both) | 16:27 |
| Leefmc | wols_: So here, pretend i never mentioned that word you hate so much. Here is my question: "How do i make a directory in root (that is, not in /home/user) writable by all programs?" | 16:27 |
| codyzapp | is dmix for alsa in the synaptic? | 16:27 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: please stop talking to me and take your xampp questins to another channel | 16:27 |
| amenado | wols_-> we will make him run the routing protocols on his ubuntu so he can enjoy it as an ubuntu router ! :P | 16:27 |
| bazhang | Leefmc, use lamp | 16:27 |
| Leefmc | wols_: Forget xampp! yeesh. | 16:27 |
| jrib | Threethan: you should probably give more details | 16:28 |
| wols_ | amenado: unlikely | 16:28 |
| Dante123 | bobertdos okay thanks. Is there any others you recommend to look at in addition to Xubuntu? | 16:28 |
| Leefmc | bazhang: Will do, but can we get off this damned lamp/xampp talk? | 16:28 |
| Leefmc | Its irrelevant to the question heh. | 16:28 |
| amenado | Leefmc-> you ever thought of /tmp ? | 16:28 |
| saiki | how does one make a zip/tar/rar a .deb? | 16:28 |
| wols_ | amenado: putting webserver files to /tmp is about the stupidest things you can do | 16:28 |
| Leefmc | amenado: Well its not temp documents | 16:28 |
| jrib | saiki: I told you before. Did you read the documentation ubottu sent you? | 16:28 |
| karly | bazhang: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41900/ | 16:29 |
| wols_ | saiki: for an easy way, look up checkinstall | 16:29 |
| Leefmc | wols_: foorrgettt web server. gaashhh loi | 16:29 |
| bobertdos | Dante123: I like Puppy Linux. It initially runs off CD, but you can configure it to run a session from a single file, so that's kind of cool. | 16:29 |
| Leefmc | wols_: You' | 16:29 |
| saiki | jrib: yes, but it didn't make sense to me | 16:29 |
| Leefmc | wols_: You're a frustrating man. ;P | 16:29 |
| usser | rmaj, unfortunately all those features are only currently supported on Solaris and OpenSolaris, linux support is lagging behind | 16:29 |
| amenado | wols_-> for temporary things is not stupid..but then again i jumped into a convo , i didnt have prior knowledge | 16:29 |
| agent | wols_, my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41899/ my menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41898/ my device.map: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41897/ | 16:29 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: stop that or I need to waste another /ignore on a moron | 16:29 |
| Leefmc | My loss it seems. | 16:29 |
| jrib | saiki: you should ask questions about what didn't make sense then... | 16:29 |
| BunTai | help me..i cant see my aplication like firefox or whatever when i minize | 16:29 |
| BunTai | anyone help | 16:30 |
| saiki | jrib: I'm not linux-smart, I'm trying to be though | 16:30 |
| alinet | i have one question if theres no problem | 16:30 |
| rmaj | usser: thanks | 16:30 |
| saiki | jrib: nd um... none of it made sense.. | 16:30 |
| jrib | saiki: then you need to start somewhere else | 16:30 |
| amenado | wols_-> you seem perturbed this morning..may i offer you a cup of joe? calms the nerves..hehe | 16:30 |
| Threethan | I have a motorola W850G router. I have ubuntu 7.10. My router is recognized on my win computer, but ubuntu won't connect to the internet. It's wired, I know the router, ethernet card, ethernet cord and modem all work. I've done what it says on the site. I've done sudo ifconfig eth0. I get nothing from the internet. | 16:30 |
| Leefmc | bazhang: Anyway, i'll checkout lamp. Thanks for the help :) | 16:30 |

| agent | wols_, now when i boot in grub, for whatever reason i have to use hd(0,Y) to boot any os :( (i just edit it in the grub menu at boot) | 16:30 |
| Leefmc | amenado: Heh, "perturbed", i would have put it much differently. .. involving a stick, and a donkey. | 16:30 |
| wols_ | agent: why the mapping for windows? | 16:30 |
| Threethan | I've even done dhclient eth0 | 16:31 |
| wols_ | and the important part is: how does your BIOS see your multiple disks? and where exactly is grub installed? | 16:31 |
| agent | wols_, because there is a windows partition on there.... i changed it to hd(0,0) but the default one was hd(1,0)... | 16:31 |
| amenado | Leefmc-> come on man, all the ops deserves one of those days...with people asking questions here like..hehe.. | 16:31 |
| wols_ | Threethan: in ubuntu: ifconfig -a | 16:31 |
| Threethan | I did that, too. | 16:32 |
| agent | wols_, hd(1,0) SHOULD be correct, but like i said above, for whatever reason it requires hd(0,Y) to work | 16:32 |
| === blutgens__ is now known as snegtul | ||

| karly | bazhang: any ideas on that paste? | 16:32 |
| mib_ldyqdaj0 | How can i add space to my linux partition? | 16:32 |
| wols_ | agent: find out what your BIOS thinks is the first drive. not what linux says | 16:32 |
| Leefmc | amenado: Perhaps if i get paid for it i feel professional in that sense, not sure. Then again, if i was in a bad mood i probably wouldn't bother to "help" :) | 16:32 |
| amenado | Threethan-> okay, your w850g can alllow other clients? | 16:32 |
| AmbuTech | Need help help VMWare 0n 8.04 | 16:33 |

| mib_ldyqdaj0 | how can I add space to my linux partition? | 16:33 |
| Threethan | Well, it's allowing my Windows right now. I was looking at the PDF for the owners manual, and it only has windows options. | 16:33 |
| karly | bazhang: yea, any idea why? | 16:33 |
| mib_ldyqdaj0 | answer with polishdemon and im good | 16:33 |
| agent | wols_, im not sure how to do that (besides trusting the bios menu & regular output), but i also tried switching drive boot order and that did not work (it just froze when the first drive was different than the current one) | 16:33 |
| blame | Ekiga is running sluggishly lately. How can I pinpoint the problem? | 16:33 |
| BunTai | thanks | 16:33 |
| BunTai | its work | 16:33 |
| leftyfb | ok, i'm failing. Fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates including from proposed on a Dell XPS 410. Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS. I've tried the normal restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new), tried envy and even tried version 177 which isn't released yet. It refuses to boot properly (beyond 800x600). | 16:33 |
| BunTai | yehaa!! | 16:34 |
| wols_ | agent: that's notmal. do what I told you | 16:34 |
| Leefmc | bazhang: Btw, what "lamp" do you speak of? Can you give me a product name? lamp is a very generic term, so assuming you mean lamp in the sense of "bundled lamp stack" (like xampp) it would help to have an actual product name :) | 16:34 |
| agent | wols_, ok... via post output & bios menu? | 16:34 |
| amenado | Threethan-> does it have a dmz option? or allow nat and forwarding on that router | 16:34 |
| BunTai | thanks jrib | 16:34 |
| karly | bazhang: does grub do things by name (/dev/sda) or by uuid? maybe the mountpoint keeps changing? | 16:34 |

| doon | I thought that if I'd mounted a device in /media that any other links would be named what I've named the directories I've mounted to, instead of just labeling them by the size(like when anything is added to /media, it adds a link to the desktop, I don't want a bunch of links named by the size, but the name I've given the mount point), any ideas? | 16:35 |
| amenado | wols_-> no problem ... :) | 16:35 |

| ubottu | elexodus_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:39 |
| Threethan | amenado: Err... It goes from the DSL line to the modem to the router, to my computer (wired) my sister's computer (wired) and my wife's computer (wireless) | 16:39 |
| bobertdos | elexodus_: Which player and what are you trying to play? | 16:39 |
| leftyfb | wols_: every piece of info I gave is relevant. | 16:40 |
| amenado | Leefmc-> what you doing with unsupported s/w ? you know better to work with the standards .. | 16:40 |
| wols_ | amenado: all the software in xampp is already in ubuntu. but unlike xampp it's security udpate supported | 16:40 |
| Leefmc | amenado: He says it breaks ubuntu, but im not finding any examples of this "fact". | 16:40 |
| wols_ | leftyfb: please stop | 16:40 |
| wols_ | leftyfb: if you can't do what I told you, stop talking to me. good day | 16:40 |
| Leefmc | amenado: Please point me in the right direction then :) | 16:40 |
| Threethan | amenado: How would I find out if it has a dmz option or if it allows nat and forwarding? | 16:40 |
| ponti | #/jacquouille | 16:40 |
| Leefmc | amenado: Though i still have yet to find where it breaks ubuntu, but w/e :) | 16:40 |
| wols_ | Leefmc: you've been pointed to !lamp time and again. why do you ignore it? | 16:40 |
| leftyfb | Anyone else have any useful assistance they can provide please? | 16:40 |
| amenado | Threethan-> i guess reading the manual that came with your w850g would help | 16:41 |
| bazhang | leftyfb, for what | 16:41 |
| grigora | how do I reset my timezone, no matter what I do, it doesn't change. any ideas? | 16:41 |
| agent | wols_, my bios post output is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41902/ | 16:41 |
| leftyfb | bazhang: Fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates including from proposed on a Dell XPS 410. Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS. I've tried the normal restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new), tried envy and even tried version 177 which isn't released yet. It refuses to boot properly (beyond 800x600). | 16:41 |
| Leefmc | wols_: Sorry, just started ignoring you by accident. Lemme re-read, perhaps theres use in it. | 16:41 |
| Threethan | amenado: I'm looking at that right now. I just don't know where in the manual it'd be. Under what topic. | 16:41 |

| Leefmc | jrib: np :) | 16:42 |
| amenado | Threethan-> okay, let me also digest what you said, you have a dsl/router now and it is one port? four ports? | 16:42 |
| wols_ | agent: why is there no channel 1 master? and why is the seagate another slave? | 16:42 |
| FloodBot1 | leftyfb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:42 |
| cwill747 | leftyfb: you're running intrepid. | 16:42 |

| meng_ | hi, when i put the eee901 to sleep mode it hang. any ideas? | 16:42 |

| wols_ | agent: sudo fdisk -l | 16:43 |
| grigora | does anyone know what I need to do in addition to setting /etc/timezone for my system to use the correct timezone? I used tzconfig to set it, but date still shows the time in the old timezone. | 16:43 |
| === Vialas_res is now known as Vialas_SSH | ||
| Threethan | amenado: It has a dmz ip address configuration option. So, I assume it does have a dmz option. | 16:43 |

| ubottu | Vialas_SSH: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:44 |
| wols_ | agent: no one asked you for this | 16:44 |
| leftyfb | bazhang: i'll try that after going back to the normal restricted drivers .. gotta get rid of envy. although i'm not sure it will help. It's not just a question of resolution, but of the driver not working. I get the "bulletproof" mode at boot. cwill747 no need, I know the basic troubleshooting for video/nvidia issues. | 16:44 |
| cwill747 | grigora: and you tried just right clicking on your clock and setting the preferences? | 16:44 |
| Threethan | amenado: Yes, the windows host can access it. The ubuntu host, which is the same computer (dual booting) cannot. | 16:44 |
| agent | wols_, <wols_> agent: sudo fdisk -l <--- then i gave you links to pastebin of fdisk-l | 16:44 |
| wols_ | leftyfb: did you use envy or envyng? | 16:44 |
| agent | wols_, errr... sorry | 16:44 |

| Leefmc | Anyone familiar with this error: "aptitude failed (100)"? Recieved when attempting "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" | 16:45 |
| Vialas-ssh | was just using ssh, a little message came up on the bottom saying "wolf wolf" | 16:45 |

| Vialas-ssh | what on earth does that mean | 16:45 |
| alinet | any one know a good room | 16:45 |
| amenado | Threethan-> okay, lets do this, on your windows msdos command line, type ipconfig and tell me the ip address and the gateway it acquires | 16:45 |
| grigora | cwill747: this is the server, i don't have any GUI installed | 16:45 |
| Vialas-ssh | did i get hacked :O | 16:45 |
| Threethan | wols_: That's a new one. Let me look into that. Lol. | 16:45 |
| === duckers is now known as neuratix- | ||
| jrib | Vialas-ssh: you are using screen | 16:46 |
| cwill747 | grigora: oh, that might explain it. XD | 16:46 |
| amenado | Threethan-> then do the same on the attached ubuntu (on another port of that router), type ifconfig | 16:46 |
| leftyfb | wols_: "envy" won't install in 8.04. I've already mentioned i'm privy to basic nvidia troubleshooting and don't need a walkthrough with the common sense basics. If you're not going to listen to me, then please stop talking to me,. | 16:46 |
| Threethan | amenado: Tried that, it's going too fast for me to review it. ifconfig | more is the same way. | 16:46 |
| wols_ | Threethan: I asked you lots of things which you all ignored | 16:46 |
| habernet | where can you download login screens? | 16:46 |
| grigora | cwill747: explain what exactly? | 16:46 |
| amenado | Threethan-> it should not go so fast on windows, make the windows larger, and type ipconfig again | 16:46 |
| Threethan | wols_: I didn't ignore it. I replied, you confused me with someone else. | 16:46 |
| wols_ | leftyfb: good luck getting any help with your attitude. have a nice day | 16:46 |
| karly | wols_: il say its misconfigured menu.lst, there is no boot directory | 16:46 |
| cwill747 | grigora: why i didn't understand what you were talking about | 16:47 |
| grigora | cwill747: I am guessing I need to set the TZ variable somewhere | 16:47 |
| wols_ | karly: not possible. if ther is no /boot you don't have ubuntu installed | 16:47 |
| Gnea | leftyfb: seriously, fix your attitude if you want any help here. | 16:47 |

Worked nice up until 6.10 (I think), 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04 causes hang/reboot during bootup. Bug 89892 seems to be the one hitting me (and others) | 16:48 |

| Threethan | amenado: Everytime, it goes too fast for me to look at it. I try the pause|break key, but that doesn't help either. | 16:48 |
| jrib | Vialas-ssh: or "alert bell" or whatever | 16:48 |
| grigora | what's the proper place/way to set the TZ variable? | 16:48 |
| marek_ | marek | 16:48 |
| wols_ | karly: cause you aren't on your harddisk. it's not mounted. which is why busybox is showing. | 16:48 |
| arcade | And for some reason it's marked 'wontfix'. :-/ | 16:48 |

| v1nce | amenado -> ping what server? | 16:51 |

| agent | wols_, it works with hd(0,Y).... i said that in the beginning...problem is after every grub-update it is reset to (ha1,Y) | 16:53 |

| br10ta10 | dyf: not sure then. i had Windows installed previously and I used WUBI to install Ubuntu from inside Windows. | 17:14 |
| Gnea | Cza: the possibility exists. | 17:14 |
| nivek_unix | Gnea: yes, it should be in Programming | 17:15 |
| dyf | br10ta10: WUBI can do network install? | 17:15 |

| Gnea | nivek_unix: it doesn't even depend on anything, which means it's not a GUI itself. | 17:17 |

| nivek_unix | Gnea: oops! ic.. so its not a gui tools same in mysql.com? i already installed the LAMP things | 17:19 |
| Gnea | nivek_unix: nope! it's just a collection of software that helps a separate GUI work :) | 17:20 |

| nivek_unix | Gnea: haha! ok.. my bad.. | 17:20 |
| crdlb | Cza: the nvidia driver has its own libgl which must replace the one in libgl1-mesa-glx, and that seems to be failing | 17:20 |

| duiu | TJ13820: Did you checksum any of them? | 17:34 |
| TJ13820 | as it is a 1999 machine | 17:34 |
| Gnea | BunTai: you asked the same thing 3 times within 1 screenfull. changing a letter here and there doesn't change anything. | 17:34 |
| TJ13820 | duiu they are all good | 17:34 |
| duiu | TJ13820: How much RAM does the laptop have? | 17:35 |
| TJ13820 | not a laptop | 17:35 |
| TJ13820 | a server | 17:35 |
| BunTai | ok.sorry | 17:35 |
| AlbinoClock | I'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell laptop with the alternate cd and it says my installation cdrom couldn't be mounted. | 17:35 |
| taub | i need an EUirc server | 17:35 |
| duiu | TJ13820: sry, how much RAM does the server have? | 17:35 |
| taub | it is annother network | 17:35 |
| TJ13820 | it is a Compaq Proliant ML530 with dual 866Mhz xeons and 1280Mb ram (not allocated to system devices) | 17:35 |
| test27 | how to mount gparted live not using cd? | 17:35 |
| test27 | i want to expand my linux spaces | 17:35 |
| Oli`` | taub: that was my bad - irc.inn.at.euirc.net | 17:36 |
| TJ13820 | and no, it is not "128Mb" is is 2Gb but some is allocated | 17:36 |
| Lunis | how about this.. is there a kernel parameter to disable ACPI Trip points or ACPI in general, so I can attempt to debug the machine? | 17:36 |
| Oli`` | taub: or webchat.euirc.net or irc.bas.ch.euirc.net or irc.zur.ch.euirc.net or irc.ber.de.euirc.net | 17:36 |
| TJ13820 | anyone have any idea? | 17:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | Lunis: noacpi on your kernel line in menu.lst? | 17:36 |
| duiu | TJ13820: Try booting with the noacpi option | 17:37 |
| Lunis | LSD|Ninja, I believe that's what I'm looking for, thank you | 17:37 |
| TJ13820 | how do i do that? | 17:37 |
| Lunis | duiu, and you as well | 17:37 |
| j0nr | can anyone advise on unrar usage please? | 17:37 |
| BlackDesign | Iemand die weet hoe ik in de Gconf-editor het pad opgeef van het custom logo (bij Apps > Panel > Objects | 17:37 |
| BlackDesign | sry wrong box :) | 17:37 |
| Lunis | j0nr, unrar e file.rar | 17:37 |
| koto | is there a way to install the 2.6.27 kernel in hardy? can I just use the intrepid packages? | 17:37 |
| duiu | TJ13820: There's a boot option button on the main screen (I think it's F6, not sure), add noacpi at the end | 17:37 |
| duiu | TJ13820: then hit enter | 17:37 |
| TJ13820 | ah | 17:38 |
| TJ13820 | thank you | 17:38 |
| BlackDesign | Anyone here who knows how I can change the path in Gconf-editor for the custom logo? | 17:38 |
| LSD|Ninja | koto: probably not a good idea | 17:38 |
| duiu | BlackDesign: Change it in your system theme icon settings | 17:38 |
| j0nr | Lunis: i try unrar e file.rar and i am not sure if it is working right as it is asking to overwrite files during the process, which makes me think it is not preserving the directory structure or something? tryinig to drop all files into one directory | 17:38 |
| koto | LSD|Ninja: but in many bug reports a dev said that we should try this version. but how do I get it? | 17:38 |
| Lunis | LSD|Ninja, strangely enough, devs closed a bug related to my situation saying to use 2.6.27 | 17:39 |
| Oli`` | koto: upgrade to intrepid if you want .27 | 17:39 |
| BlackDesign | duiu, only thing I can change there are all the icons... I have the Icons I want , just not the menu-bar icon on the top left | 17:39 |
| Lunis | j0nr, i've always had it preserve dir structure. I'm not sure that you can tell it not to :) | 17:39 |
| Oli`` | koto: that's realistically the only way you'll manage it without breaking everything =) | 17:39 |
| Lunis | BlackDesign, what you're looking for is an actual icon in your currently selected icon set | 17:40 |
| j0nr | Lunis: oh. it seems to want to ovevrwrite a fair few files....perhaps thats why i keep reading ppl using the -y to answer yes to everything | 17:40 |
| j0nr | Lunis: ill give it a whirl. Thanks :) | 17:40 |
| BlackDesign | Well actually you can change it in the Gconf-editor with "Use custom logo" | 17:40 |
| BlackDesign | but I can't change the path there | 17:40 |
| koto | Oli``: is intrepid usable at this point? | 17:40 |
| shigutso | can you help voting for my idea in brainstorm? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12473/ thanks :) | 17:40 |
| Lunis | BlackDesign, if you're using Tango, for instance, there is a specific icon in there you change. or at least that's what the theme readme's i've read have said | 17:40 |
| BlackDesign | and if I go to usr/share/icons, the icons I use are not there | 17:41 |
| _ba | question on psybnc any ideas what could be causing vhost to use ip versus vhost when connecting to irc? | 17:41 |
| duiu | BlackDesign: Copy your icons to /usr/share/icons | 17:41 |
| cryingtux | hello | 17:41 |
| dinesh_ | hi plz tell me how to learn linux as i am a beginner,like what approach to follow,what books and websites to read i will be highly thankful to you | 17:41 |
| Lunis | BlackDesign, if there's a way to specify it in gconf let me know, that would be epic win | 17:41 |
| cryingtux | what are Ubuntu backports repos and should they be enabled ? | 17:41 |
| jepp | i don't know how to export a movie in cinelerra. if i try, the movie is either without video or the video is not shown properly. another problem is the final size of that movie file: 3min length means about 400mb filesize. why is that? | 17:42 |
| hickop | hi, i can see console-terminus font is installed but i cant select it in any program ? any diea ? | 17:42 |
| BlackDesign | Lunis, normally its under Apps > Panel > Objects (and then Menu bar or something) There you can normally select use custom icon | 17:42 |
| Lunis | cryingtux, cool things that get added to newer versions of ubuntu that are cool enough to get added backwards | 17:42 |
| duiu | dinesh_: Beginning Ubuntu or Beginning Ubuntu Server both have good general linux command-line stuff. | 17:42 |
| Lunis | BlackDesign, ah nice, i'll try it | 17:42 |
| BlackDesign | Yeah, and in case you are able to change the path, let me know :p | 17:42 |
| j0nr | Lunis: nope it definately didn't preserver directory structure. | 17:43 |
| cryingtux | Lunis: so can i add these repos safely? | 17:43 |
| j0nr | Lunis: it dumps all contents irrespective of location, all into the current working directory | 17:43 |
| dinesh_ | duiu:i am beginning in ubuntu | 17:43 |
| Lunis | j0nr, i would look in man unrar then, to see if there's some specific switch | 17:43 |
| Lunis | j0nr, it's odd though, i'd say, that it doesn't preserve by default | 17:43 |
| Iradieh | I get a question mark after installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well | 17:43 |
| AlbinoClock | The answer to my question was "Open and close the CD drive" | 17:43 |
| AlbinoClock | odd | 17:43 |
| xyblor | How do I show a list of installed packages using the command-line? | 17:43 |
| duiu | dinesh_: Those are book titles | 17:44 |
| Lunis | cryingtux, I would say you can. I've never had problems with backport repos | 17:44 |
| duiu | xyblor: dpkg -l | 17:44 |
| Lunis | xyblor, dpkg -l | 17:44 |
| arvind_khadri | xyblor, dpkg --list | 17:44 |
| xyblor | lol thanks guys | 17:44 |
| scor` | hi guys, http://pastebin.com/m733c669d <- any suggestions how to solve this problem? | 17:44 |
| duiu | xyblor: dpkg -l|grep <search> to search installed packages | 17:44 |
| j0nr | Lunis: me too... used archive manager in the end... but it would have been nice from command line. ah well | 17:44 |
| cryingtux | Lunis: i found a full list of repos, i will paste it, can you please look at them and recoomend /drecommend any ? | 17:44 |
| dinesh_ | duiu:please tell me from where i can get these | 17:44 |

| bdog | is it possible to increase the ubuntu partition? I am using the windows installed version | 17:46 |
| Lunis | j0nr, i wonder, were you using free or nonfree unrar? | 17:46 |
| duiu | dinesh_: No, they're books. You have to buy them at a place that sells books. | 17:46 |
| duiu | dinesh_: or go to a library | 17:46 |
| trontonic | nonfree unrar is usually the one that works for me | 17:46 |
| hide1713 | Which command to change and select font in text mode? | 17:46 |
| brandon__ | Hey, i am running fedora 9 right now and i was wondering if anyone could give me some good reasons to switch to ubuntu, i am thinking about it and just need some good reasons thanks | 17:46 |

| Lunis | j0nr, i wonder if unrar-nonfree does the same thing? | 17:47 |
| dinesh_ | duiu:actually i cannot buy these tell me about some website related to linux thanks | 17:47 |
| Lunis | j0nr, i usually use nonfree, i think | 17:47 |

| tgpraveen | pls help me how do i format my 500 gb external hdd from fat to ntfs in ubuntu8.04 I DONT WANT TO LOOSE ANY DATA ON IT | 17:48 |
| === Awsoonn_ is now known as Awsonn | ||
| tgpraveen | ? | 17:49 |
| duiu | tgpraveen: that's not possible, unless you copy the data off, format it, and copy it back | 17:49 |
| hide1713 | How to change font in text mode? Thanks | 17:49 |
| j0nr | Lunis: how would i ensure i was using nonfree? | 17:49 |
| jepp | test27, maybe you can use cinelerra | 17:49 |
| charlespeng | some one said | 17:49 |
| tgpraveen | in winodows xp i heard itspossible | 17:49 |
| jepp | and we can help each other | 17:49 |
| RB2 | I ran into a problem and had to boot into Recovery Mode and have it Fix X. Now, I'm back to the old problem (that was fixed with an update) where the window headers disappear when I enable Compiz instead of Metacity | 17:49 |
| === Awsonn is now known as Awsoonn | ||
| trontonic | tgpraveen: it is possible in Windows XP. It _might_ be possible in gparted, but I think duiu is right. | 17:49 |
| duiu | tgpraveen: and ubuntu doesn't format to NTFS, you can only use windows | 17:49 |
| BlackDesign | Lunis, where you able to change the path? | 17:50 |
| djamel | tgpraveen, you WILL loose the data if you do that :) | 17:50 |
| test27 | cinelerra? what is this? is it like wine? | 17:50 |
| hide1713 | Hi. Is there any command in ubuntu could setup font like slackware? | 17:50 |
| jepp | test27, that is a semiprofessional video editing tool. | 17:50 |
| tgpraveen | oh darn so even if i am ready to loose the data i cant format to ntfs frm ubutnu right? | 17:51 |
| scor` | http://paste.ubuntu.com/41919/ <- any suggestions how to solve it? | 17:51 |
| hide1713 | I googled. Is there any command could reset my console font? | 17:51 |
| test27 | owww | 17:51 |
| secp | is there a softphone that you can playback MOH audio with sip foundry available on Linux? I dont want to change the SIP server because of MOH. | 17:51 |
| arvind_khadri | tgpraveen, use gparted | 17:51 |
| duiu | tgpraveen: I believe so, just hijack someone else's Windows computer | 17:51 |
| jepp | test27: http://cinelerra.org/ | 17:51 |
| trontonic | tgpraveen: now, why would you want to format to ntfs while using Ubuntu? If you want to format to ntfs for using the disk in Windows, why not change from FAT to NTFS in Windows? | 17:51 |
| brettley | when installing ubuntu with windows vista and windows XP installed all on 1 harddrive, GRUB doesnt see windows XP, is there a reason why? | 17:51 |
| Rakeer | Does it see windows vista? | 17:52 |
| brettley | yah | 17:52 |
| Rakeer | DAMN. | 17:52 |
| brettley | ? | 17:52 |
| Rakeer | well, that stopped my joke.. | 17:52 |
| dinesh_ | duiu:thanks for the advise is this perfectly suitable for beginners | 17:52 |
| test27 | ohhh yeah when using windows xp on virtualboxover linux can i play some games like crysis? | 17:52 |
| Iradieh | I get a question mark after reboot when installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well | 17:52 |
| hide1713 | Please tell me how to change font in text mode? Is there any package ? | 17:52 |
| Oli`` | brettley: because Windows has its own bootloader and Vista eats XPs when it installs and puts an entry in it in its own loader. So point it at vista and it should give you the option of selecting XP | 17:52 |
| Oli`` | brettley: that's assuming you stuck Vista on after XP | 17:53 |
| Rakeer | brettley^^^ | 17:53 |
| jepp | test27: http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3#download | 17:53 |
| Rakeer | and if not, you may have to add a line into grub... | 17:53 |
| brettley | Oli``: vista was already there and XP ate vistas bootloader | 17:53 |
| Rakeer | lol | 17:53 |
| nich^ | hide1713: try "consolechars" | 17:53 |
| Oli`` | brettley: so before grub came along, you had a bootloader giving you the choice of XP or Vista? | 17:54 |
| brettley | no | 17:54 |
| fivre | if I have a PC with two NICs, can I make a setup such that one's plugged into the wall, and the other is plugged into my laptop, but for all intents and purposes it's like they're both plugged into the wall? | 17:54 |
| brettley | i could boot to vista only | 17:54 |
| brettley | because i restored the bootloader with an OEM disk | 17:54 |
| user01 | i cant seem to see video on the reuters website | 17:54 |
| user01 | i get audio though | 17:54 |
| Rakeer | so...xp isnt there to any system, let alone one that will report it to grub | 17:54 |
| Lunis | j0nr, nonfree is called unrar-nonfree i think | 17:54 |
| Lunis | BlackDesign, let me look now | 17:54 |
| BlackDesign | Lunis, ok ;) | 17:55 |
| brettley | Rakeer: wouldnt XP alteast report to grub? | 17:55 |
| Oli`` | brettley: oh okay. Well try pointing grub at the respective partitions manually then. You'll need to work out which partitions they are exactly, but here are the rough instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 17:55 |
| Rakeer | xp is sort of in...purgatory... | 17:56 |
| Oli`` | brettley: you don't need to bother with LiveCD jazz if you're already in ubuntu | 17:56 |
| Rakeer | not really ther,e not really dead... | 17:56 |
| brettley | what if i pulled the harddrive that had each OS on it until i was ready to boot with ubuntu? would it see all of the OS's then? | 17:56 |
| brettley | like, have vista on 1 | 17:56 |
| brettley | then pull that one | 17:56 |
| brettley | then install winXP on another | 17:56 |
| Rakeer | you could probably run a repair install on vista and see if it finds it again... | 17:56 |
| brettley | i did run repair, and it only had winxp | 17:57 |
| brettley | er vista | 17:57 |
| johnmatrix | i just installed opera 9.5 deb.. but i cant find an icon anywhere to launch it? am i missing a step here? | 17:57 |
| shiloh7 | repair on vista, ROFL!!!!!!!!!!! | 17:57 |
| Rakeer | hmm, I would remove linux and vista drive, run xp repair install | 17:57 |
| brettley | ohh then re-install vista? | 17:57 |
| user01 | how do i figure out what video codec www.reuters.com is using? | 17:57 |
| brettley | er | 17:57 |
| brettley | put the drive back in :P | 17:57 |
| Oli`` | brettley: I did a while back. It's a PITA but it works. Made even more useful if your BIOS has a nice priority switching doobrey (I can press F8 on bios load and it'll let me change which disk it'll try first) | 17:57 |
| Rakeer | then, run a vista repair with vista and xp drive up, so they bot are on the boot loader, then hook up grub | 17:57 |
| tyg13 | is there any way to get a wired 360 controller hooked up to Hardy? | 17:58 |
| rubyat | user01: I think reuters is using flash. | 17:58 |
| Oli`` | user01: it's flash. so FLV of some variant | 17:58 |
| user01 | rubyat, weird because youtube working fine for me but not reuters | 17:59 |
| brettley | Oli``: i DO have a gigabyte board that lets me select witch loads first on one PC, but the swapping of harddrives would only work on a desktop, im talking about a dell lappy :) | 17:59 |
| brettley | even more suck | 17:59 |
| Grenyaris | Quick Question...if I futzed the USB driver, how do I get a fresh one installed? | 18:00 |
| user01 | Oli``, i cant seem to get video to work on it and i have adobe flashplayer installed | 18:00 |
| Oli`` | brettley: usually installing XP, then Vista, then Ubuntu would be the perfect setup (if you needed all three). I'd expect the Vista bootloader to eat XP's but add an antry for XP in its own. And then Ubuntu to eat Vista's but add an antry for it on its own. | 18:00 |
| brettley | Rakeer: i have tried runing the repair while windows XP had the bootloader, it didnt work worth squat | 18:00 |
| Rakeer | why would you repair if it was working... | 18:00 |
| brettley | Oli``: the problem is, i need vista pre instaled | 18:01 |
| Rakeer | Oli: right I just suggested him to do that... | 18:01 |
| brettley | i cant loose the info thats on that partition | 18:01 |
| Oli`` | Rakeer: sorry I'm all over the place =) | 18:01 |
| Rakeer | hehe | 18:01 |
| Rakeer | I know, it's early... | 18:01 |
| Rakeer | and late | 18:01 |
| Rakeer | it's latearly | 18:01 |
| Oli`` | brettley: have you tried just adding a new entries to grub pointing right at the Windows partitions? | 18:01 |
| Rakeer | ^^^ see thats what I said | 18:02 |
| brettley | yes | 18:02 |
| Rakeer | but it got lost in the storm | 18:02 |
| brettley | but it gave me a funky eror | 18:02 |
| katsuodo | Hello | 18:02 |
| Oli`` | which error brettley? | 18:02 |
| Rakeer | windows xp /sda1/windows/ or whatev? | 18:02 |
| brettley | Oli``: something about memory or something | 18:02 |
| katsuodo | I am having a issue with evolution mail client | 18:02 |
| rambo3 | Grenyaris, what do you mean? | 18:03 |
| xbxb|afk | How can I see the date/time a file was created? in gnome I only see "modified" and "last accessed"... | 18:03 |
| Rakeer | brettley: remebering what errors say are key...to success | 18:03 |
| jrib | xbxb|afk: impossible. ext3 does not store that information | 18:03 |
| xbxb|afk | jrib: why is that? and are there any file systems that store that information? | 18:03 |
| sauvin | dmesg on hardy heron prints each message in the form [digits] message. What are these digits? | 18:03 |
| user01 | Oli``, can you see the video here? http://www.reuters.com/news/video | 18:03 |
| Oli`` | brettley: did you add the chainloader +1 argument to the grub entry? | 18:03 |
| Oli`` | user01: yep | 18:04 |
| jrib | xbxb|afk: I don't know the answer to either of those | 18:04 |
| dinesh_ | rakbeer: i really tried hard but unable to run wireless network on my laptop i am having vista premium as the other os | 18:04 |
| brettley | Oli``: what is that supposed to do? | 18:04 |
| xbxb|afk | thanks though, jrib | 18:04 |
| pistache | user01 : yes I can | 18:04 |
| user01 | Oli``, is it flash? | 18:04 |
| dres | xbxb|afk: stat <file> | 18:04 |
| Oli`` | brettley: sets it up for another bootloader (iirc) | 18:04 |
| Oli`` | user01: yup | 18:04 |
| test27 | hey how to create new partition on linux? | 18:04 |
| Bliepo | test27, use gparted | 18:04 |
| brettley | Oli``: it WAS when vista had boot loader, so im thinking it was looking for a bootloader that wasnt there, and im thinking that if i can make the vista partition hidden while it has a bootloader, winXP can take a bootloader without removing vistas bootloader and then ubuntu can recognize both of them | 18:04 |
| test27 | i have used gparted and created one but i cant write on it | 18:04 |
| user01 | Oli``, not sure how i will troubleshoot it then | 18:04 |
| Bliepo | did you mount it? | 18:05 |
| test27 | please help me | 18:05 |
| test27 | yeah | 18:05 |
| rubyat | xbxb|afk: ina terminal ls -la will show you date/time | 18:05 |
| Oli`` | test27: use gparted. you've already been told =) | 18:05 |
| test27 | only root user can write on it | 18:05 |

| alff21 | hi | 18:54 |
| EcoA | The release of Symphony os Version 2008.01 is based on Ubuntu 7.10. and uses the mezzo desktop environment | 18:55 |
| mika_videodev | Hi, has anyone of you used cinelerra ? | 18:55 |
| kkrusty | I have a ubuntu install on an external usb HDD. It doesnt boot on my hp laptop. It doesnt show up in the boot list. Any ideas? Im running it on an HP laptop | 18:55 |
| windmill | should there be a ~/.profile | 18:55 |
| windmill | ? | 18:55 |
| wols_ | kkrusty: you need a bootloader | 18:55 |
| bazhang | EcoA, exactly; ubuntu-based is not ubuntu. get the real deal at www.ubuntu.com :) | 18:55 |
| kkrusty | wols_: during the install I selected /dev/sdb for the bootloader which it said was the usb drive | 18:56 |
| _paneb | windmill, i have a .profile which is normally a .bashrc but it crashes the X session when i log in. i have to rename .profile to .bashrc then to .profile again (for it to get used). | 18:56 |
| kkrusty | but I will install it again | 18:56 |
| EcoA | i've got ubuntu! i want a dual boot just to try mezzo. Can you help me?? or there is a way to install mezzo in my current Ubuntu version 8.04? | 18:56 |

| erickvp | does anyone know which bit torrent client works like utorrent for windoze? | 18:57 |
| leftyfb | erickvp: try frostwire.com | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | er | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | sorry | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | no | 18:58 |
| EcoA | mezzo is a desktop environment and uses FVWM as a window manager. | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent | 18:58 |
| xicubed__ | anyone explain at a high level why i can connect wirelessly if i disable wpa2 but not otherwise? | 18:58 |
| test27 | is it like emerald? | 18:58 |
| erickvp | frostwire cool thanx i figure best to ask lol i tried a few but he couldn't work it lol | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | I meant deluge | 18:59 |
| leftyfb | frostwire is like limewire | 18:59 |
| leftyfb | deluge is a torrent client | 18:59 |
| erickvp | im initiating someone that don't even know windose lol | 18:59 |
| leftyfb | then they shouldn't be using "advanced" torrent clients | 18:59 |
| erickvp | lol | 19:00 |
| mika_videodev | I don't know what is mezzo, but that kind of thing is the top reason why many prefer windows instead of linux: linux is a great OS, as long as you are happy with those apps included in your distro (so they are easy to "sudo aptitude install appname"). But as soon as you want to run some app that is NOT part of your distro, you begin to see what's wrong with today's linux distros (this *could* be corrected with the correct attitude !), so it is | 19:00 |
| mika_videodev | NOT a fundamental error in linux, it is just bad decisions when implementing ... | 19:00 |

| bazhang | mika_videodev, interesting; please come to #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 19:00 |
| mika_videodev | erickvp: i don't konw, but I used KTorrent to download my KUbuntu 7.10 install DVD | 19:00 |
| windmill | this is odd I've got a .profile on one laptop (a fresh install) the other (upgraded from gutsy) hasn't got it! | 19:01 |
| erickvp | cool | 19:01 |
| bazhang | Rakeer, what is that | 19:01 |
| leftyfb | mika_videodev: if he's not already running KDE, then installing KDE applications is asking for more resources/potential problems then is needed. Especially for someone with pre-existing issues. | 19:01 |
| prince_jammys | windmill: ~/.profile is a user's account profile. it doesn't have to exist. if you don't have it, your PATH is just the system-wide PATH. | 19:02 |
| mika_videodev | <leftyfb>: I have used kwrite and kate even when my desktop is not KDE but icewm | 19:02 |
| leftyfb | mika_videodev: I didn't say it wasn't possible | 19:03 |
| windmill | prince_jammys, ok cool, so where is the system wide path set? | 19:03 |
| prince_jammys | windmill: in ubuntu, i think it is set by the 'login' binary | 19:03 |
| juninhoguitarr_L | #ubuntu-br | 19:04 |
| windmill | prince_jammys, so it's hard coded in the binary and not changeable? | 19:04 |
| prince_jammys | windmill: change your PATH in ~/.profile by creating the file | 19:04 |
| wols_ | windmill: it's not hardcoded. and there is no system wide path | 19:04 |
| wols_ | prince_jammys: no need to create it | 19:04 |
| prince_jammys | wols_: huh? | 19:05 |
| windmill | prince_jammys, wols_, surely there must a way to set the system wide default? | 19:05 |
| prince_jammys | /etc/profile | 19:05 |
| wols_ | prince_jammys: every user has ~/.profile | 19:05 |
| prince_jammys | wols_: he says he doesn't | 19:05 |
| windmill | wols_, I haven't | 19:05 |
| wols_ | then how did he create his user? | 19:06 |
| wols_ | see /etc/skel/ | 19:06 |
| ir2 | good day, i have a problem with ubuntu, could you please help me??? | 19:06 |
| windmill | wols_, at install | 19:06 |
| Apurva_C | sure ir2, i could help you | 19:06 |
| ir2 | no, it was when i was terying to install the restricted extras | 19:07 |
| windmill | wols_, there is a .profile in /etc/skel/ | 19:07 |
| windmill | wols_, but I don't have one in my home directory | 19:08 |
| ir2 | i typoed this "$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 19:08 |
| wols_ | windmill: then copy over the one from /etc/skel/ and adjust ownerships | 19:08 |
| windmill | wols_, prince_jammys, I suppose it could have been deleted at some stage | 19:08 |
| wols_ | windmill: and check for the other files from skel in your ~ too | 19:08 |
| ir2 | “E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem. | 19:09 |
| ir2 | E: _cache->open() failed, please report.” | 19:09 |
| windmill | wols_, ok cool I'll do that but how is my path getting set currently? | 19:09 |
| leftyfb | ir2: did you run what it said to correct the problem? | 19:09 |
| windmill | wols_, there must be a system default somewhere or it wouldn't get set | 19:10 |
| wols_ | windmill: grep PATH ~/.* | 19:10 |
| prince_jammys | windmill: man login says that login checks your entry in /etc/passwd and sets the PATH variable accordingly | 19:10 |
| leftyfb | I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775. Can someone help me with it please? | 19:10 |
| windmill | wols_, nothing, it returns nothing. | 19:11 |
| prince_jammys | windmill: if you HAD to (why?) change the system-wide path for bash, you would do it in /etc/profile, which bash sources on startup. | 19:11 |

| ironyCurtain | basd: and of course you can put the equivalent in your fstab to do it every boot | 20:07 |
| shyam_k | bombshelter13: is there any "standard" simpler way so that a non-techie can deal it with an ubuntu dvd and system in hand? | 20:07 |
| basd | ironyCurtain: thank you | 20:07 |
| Bhavesh | Overand i don't mind at all.. one reason is i have been just practicing different raid tools (dmraid /mdadm with lvm) i just want to get a clean start | 20:07 |
| bombshelter13 | Bhavesh: as long as you don't mess with the drives, no. The disks have tags on them labelling them as raid members, and the new OS should assemble them just fine. I did it from Slack 10 to Ubuntu 7 with no problems | 20:07 |
| basd | ironyCurtain: how can I configure fstab? | 20:07 |
| TOPSECRET | how do I get applications places and system back? | 20:07 |
| ironyCurtain | basd: edit /etc/fstab and add a line with that information... it's really straightforward, but google is your friend if you have trouble | 20:08 |
| Bhavesh | bombshelter13 that's very helpful!! i don't have anything important on raid at the moment only on /home which iam not going to format, | 20:08 |
| Overand | Bhavesh: is /home on a seperate drive? | 20:08 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: So how do you uninstall something (like the lamp server stack) without destroying your system? Thats one thing that often frustrates me, sometimes i want to revert all of the installations involved with a program, without harming other programs.. how can it be done? | 20:08 |
| icedwater | Oh well, I'll try the forums :) | 20:08 |
| bombshelter13 | Bhavesh: best time to try it is when there's nothing important on the raid, yes. :) That way you can make sure you know how to do it before doing it on a real raid. But all things considered it should really be a lot simpler than you're expecting. | 20:09 |
| Bhavesh | Overand no /home is not on seperate drive, just different paritition and i know which paritition is mounted as which directory | 20:09 |
| bombshelter13 | Bhavesh:I was expecting there to be something dificult but nah, I just reinstalled the os, turned on mdadm, and told it to scan and assemble arrays. | 20:09 |
| Overand | Bhavesh: really, your *best* bet is to move that data accross to another system, as a backup - 'just in case' | 20:09 |
| Overand | Bhavesh: theoretically you can do exactly what you're saying, though - you just have to be careful =] | 20:10 |
| Bhavesh | bombshelter13 that's why i have been testing different things out..now that i have better understanding i want to wipe it clean and start with fresh 8.0.4.1 | 20:10 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: well, lamp is actually pretty simple to remove by hand, but check out the autoremove feature of apt-get | 20:10 |
| Bhavesh | Overand the /home has about 8.4G of data should not take too long to move it | 20:10 |
| Xcerca | does steam with wine run really slow for anybody ? | 20:10 |

| Nechepsos | audio in youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplayer can play any mpegs etc with audio/video just fine. any ideas? | 20:10 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Heh, i made the mistake of using the taskel remove feature, and it damn near screwed me. | 20:10 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: I have no idea why removing lamp from tasksel removed everything, that's a bug, and I'd be sure to file one. | 20:10 |
| Bhavesh | bombshelter13 thanks for reassurance :) | 20:10 |
| Bhavesh | Overand thanks for your help | 20:10 |
| shyam_k | bombshelter13: so its more to do than adding user to any particular group such as plugdev? | 20:10 |

| shyam_k | bombshelter13: will adding user to root group help?!:) | 20:11 |
| Bhavesh | just thought about it.. i have a drive running on that machine that is not used anywhere, i can always back up the data there and | 20:11 |
| usser | Xcerca, yes steam itself is kinda slow... games like cs:s and hl2 should run fine though | 20:11 |
| bombshelter13 | shyam_k: I don't know what plugdev is normally allowed to do... adding the user to group rout is probably not the right solution :/ | 20:11 |
| smm289 | if I add my user name to root group does that mean I will never have to enter in a password or sudo | 20:11 |
| leftyfb | ubuntu | 20:11 |
| Xcerca | usser alright , cool | 20:12 |
| Flannel | smm289: You don't want to do that. And no, it won't. | 20:12 |
| shyam_k | i would like to get a doc about what these user groups refers too. i have been searching for a bit now.. couldnt reach it.. | 20:12 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well for example, im trying to remove all the packages listed on the apache page. Aptitude then tells me its going to remove amarok, xine, ubuntu restricted, etcetc.. why? | 20:12 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: listed on the 'apache' page? which one's that? | 20:12 |
| arkadiusz | because they depend on that packages | 20:12 |

| === Adam is now known as Rezagrats | ||
| Leefmc | Flannel: Heh, i was told to use all that crap for a simple development environment, because xampp would cause so much harm, yet so far xampp is fine and this damn thing is driving me mad. | 20:13 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Which packages are you removing, specifically? (just paste the single line here) | 20:13 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Xammp isn't needed, what do you need help with with LAMP? | 20:13 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Under "Starting over, How to remove the LAMP stack" on that page, the entire bit | 20:14 |
| Rezagrats | I need to help a friend but she's on a windows desktop. does ubuntu have Windows Remote Helping ? | 20:14 |
| Mr_Fixit | ok i'm using fluxbuntu and i want to set up wifi.. my wifi works and is connectable but i can't seem to find the router on the flux box | 20:14 |
| Xcerca | woli System > Prefrences> Apperance | 20:14 |
| Bhavesh | Rezagrats it has rdesktop ( remote desktop ) which can connect to a windows machine and login to remote desktop connection | 20:14 |
| Denise | put system back TOPSECRET? | 20:14 |
| bombshelter13 | woli : system.->preverences->advanced descktop effects | 20:14 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: I'd say aptitude is doing something funky. It's also possible that those programs depend on one of htose (perhaps one of the perl libs?) try apt-get instead | 20:14 |
| bombshelter13 | woli: if it's not there, 'sudo apt-get install ccsm' | 20:14 |
| Denise | again an error? | 20:14 |
| Flannel | bombshelter13: compizconfig-settings-manager | 20:15 |
| woli | thanks bombshelter13 and Xcerca | 20:15 |
| bombshelter13 | flannel: corrected | 20:15 |
| smm289 | anyone familiar with xps1330, have 802.11n and it worked fine under windows but in ubuntu it says connection is 54? any ideas ?? | 20:15 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well honestly, on that page im not seeing anything as easy/friendly as xampp, i have no need to a real lamp server setup, i just need to boot up a small php development environment for a short while. Xampp has been used for years for that, and its worked great, i dont wanna have to launch 10 things just to work on a php script. heh | 20:15 |

| __mikem | Does anyone know of any software I can use to create my own gtk widget themes? | 20:15 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: apt-get remove, correct? | 20:15 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: You don'thave to launch 10 things, ... just install the half dozen packages, and you're off and running | 20:15 |
| woli | bombshelter13, are you sure that it is ccsm? | 20:15 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: yeah, but if you want, do -s first, so you can see what all will be removed | 20:15 |
| Flannel | Mr_Fixit: try #fluxbuntu | 20:16 |
| Overand | bombshelter13: no 'ccsm' - something similar mabe | 20:16 |
| bombshelter13 | woli: as Flannel corrected me, it is actually 'compizconfig-settings-manager' | 20:16 |

| alinet | how can i add new google widgets in the widget layer | 20:16 |
| alinet | ??? | 20:16 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: that talks about the same thing, amarok, ubuntu-restricted, etc. | 20:16 |
| Xcerca | woli that is IF you have compiz installed | 20:16 |
| happyface0 | hey | 20:16 |
| Mr_Fixit | only 26 ppl in #fluxbuntu.. and they are chatting about nintendo.. <-- i know cuz i'm there | 20:16 |

| === happyface0 is now known as happyface | ||
| alinet | compize already installed & layer widget also | 20:16 |
| lorph | i'm running edgy eft, and now my repositories say 404 what should i do | 20:17 |
| happyface | I installed ubuntu to an external hdd using the default installer. It installed the MBR to my main hard drive, but I removed that. How can I boot ubuntu by booting from a usb device? | 20:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: PMed | 20:17 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: since if its actually doing that with apt-get, that means you're removing a depend. So its possible that the wiki page is in err. That "how to remove" bit is new (I've never seen it), so it could very well be. | 20:17 |
| Mr_Fixit | any wifi set up help? | 20:17 |
| === arkadiusz is now known as Fazer | ||
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ah | 20:18 |
| Orbixx | !wifi | 20:18 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:18 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well for now imma just use xampp, an hour or two of a development environment isn't worth all this hassle heh. | 20:18 |
| Otacon22 | happyface, have you setted the usb disk as primary boot device in the bios? | 20:19 |
| woli | thanks Flannel, bombshelter13 and Xcerca ... PS: I have compiz | 20:19 |
| happyface | Otacon22: I tried booting from the usb device in the bios but it doesn't work | 20:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Why? First off, what's your actual problem with LAMP, why is it not working? | 20:19 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: At the moment, just a bunch of small crap, if i could remove it all and start over it would probably be fine, but its still more time invested than i care to heh :) | 20:20 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: alright, so, for one, (one reason it removed) libapr is a dependency of subversion, so... that "how to remove" bit is ... overzealous. Assuming you don't have anything else depending on those. I'm sure the others are similar situations | 20:20 |
| teddi | how do i add foreign characters o_O or is that just a matter of fonts? | 20:20 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ah, nice | 20:20 |
| Otacon22 | happyface, you need to be sure that the bios boot the usb disk, then when you install ubuntu at the last page of installation config you need to click on advances and there is the grub conf, you need to check that grub will be installed into the usb hard disk | 20:20 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2.2-common | 20:21 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: that'll more or less start you over as far as apache is concerned. | 20:21 |
| Aquahallic | ok.. if I broke my apt cache where packages aren't seeing deps and things... can someone tell me the cli to do a repair on it? | 20:21 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: but, if you gave specifics, we'll be able to help you better. | 20:21 |
| Otacon22 | Flannel, apt-get purge is equal to say apt-get remove <package> --purge ? | 20:21 |
| happyface | thanks Otacon22, but is there a way to install grub onto the usb device without reinstalling ubuntu? | 20:21 |
| bombshelter13 | Flannel: if they have an app prepackaged to run well on XAMPP using the versions of the tools included with it, it's pretty reasonable to use it instead of the standalone packages.... | 20:21 |
| Flannel | Otacon22: As of hardy, yes. (apt-get purge was added in hardy) | 20:21 |
| Otacon22 | ah | 20:22 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Maybe later, but if i am going to put any effort into getting an actual lamp stack up and running i'll set it up on my local server heh :) | 20:22 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Im rather surprised ubuntu doesn't have a development environment like xampp ready to go | 20:22 |
| Flannel | bombshelter13: xampp isn't in the repos, and as such, you don't get security updates/etc. It's a bad idea to use non-repos packages when there are better ways. | 20:22 |
| Otacon22 | happyface, i don't rembember how, but you can: using the live cd you can reinstall just grub into the usb disk and check its config | 20:22 |
| happyface | thanks | 20:23 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: That is to say, 2 minutes up and running environment | 20:23 |
| Otacon22 | you need to use a command like grub-install | 20:23 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Its because you don't need them. lamp stack works fine, and doesn't require the developers to duplicate their efforts for no reason | 20:23 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: LAMP is... two minutes and up and running. | 20:23 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ah | 20:23 |
| ganesh | when i double click on .deb package it gives an error libsso.9.7 dependency not satisfied | 20:23 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: If you had problems, you should ask and we can solve them. Other than that, LAMP has no drawbacks, its not like its difficult | 20:23 |
| bombshelter13 | Flannel: the app they're running on top of it probably isn't in the repos either, updating the underlying stack could potentially have a higher risk of breaking their app than just using what they know works. | 20:23 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well maybe i'll give it another go some other time then :), i just saw that they were all independant, etcetc. I didnt feel like starting and stopping multipl;e servers, etc. | 20:23 |
| lorph | how do i fix my repos | 20:24 |
| bombshelter13 | Flannel: I'm certainly not saying that's how I'd do it if starting a new project, but if their app already is confirmed to run correctly on the setup, why not use it? | 20:24 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: You don't have to. That's not how it works, but sure. | 20:24 |
| Bhavesh | i am loving ubuntu server ;) | 20:24 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: I did ask, but i got help from someone else hehe, sort of made me a bit brash atm :) | 20:24 |
| debasys | this is funny, i was browsing shop.canonical.com and saw the ubuntu t-shirts, i have an idea, if i can do some coding for someone and get one of those in return ;) | 20:24 |
| Bhavesh | which is default MTA for ubuntu server? postfix/exim/sendmail? | 20:24 |
| csa3d | any reason my none of my natilus folders seem to open | 20:24 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Not nearly as friendly as you my friend hehe | 20:24 |
| bombshelter13 | csa3d: probably yes. | 20:24 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: obviously they didn't fix whatever problem you had :) | 20:24 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Made me frustrated and angry ;D | 20:25 |
| csa3d | bombshlter13: awesome.. any idea where to start looking | 20:25 |
| csa3d | ;) | 20:25 |
| === Fazer is now known as Fazer2 | ||
| bombshelter13 | csa3d: unforunatetly I'm not so sure about that part ;) | 20:25 |
| Flannel | Bhavesh: believe postfix is default, exim is also in main | 20:25 |
| onexused | I'm looking for a program that can resize all images in a directory to a specific size. Is there one in the repo for this? Or is there another one you'd recommend? | 20:25 |
| bombshelter13 | csa3d: what is it doing instead of opening them? | 20:26 |
| shyam_k | all of my friends wants to use ubuntu to remove viruses in their usb..so write access to external partitions mounted without much hazzle can make their transition smoother..as they can avoid seeing gnu/linux still as a techie oriented OS.. | 20:26 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Imma download the ubuntu server cd and get my old machine up for a simple dev server later, i'll give the real lamp a whack then | 20:26 |
| ganesh | when i double click on .deb package it gives an error libsso.9.7 dependency not satisfied how to fix it? | 20:26 |
| qr | onexused: look into imagemagick, it's a suite of cli image manipulation tools. | 20:26 |
| Bhavesh | i have an existing server running with postfix/Mailscanner/clamav/spamassassin, any suggestions on best way to mirgrate the settings? | 20:26 |
| csa3d | also interesting, i have an update alert icon visible, and when I go "install all updates", enter my password, nothing seems to happen | 20:26 |
| Bhavesh | just copy /etc/appname/*.conf file over? | 20:26 |
| StoneApple | edman007: yes smaller platters... edman007 well besides the typical 15k rpm drive has platters in the 2.25" dia range, 10k rpm drives are in the area of 2.5" and 7200 are around 3.25" | 20:26 |
| onexused | qr: Thanks. I will. | 20:26 |
| StoneApple | oops | 20:26 |
| bombshelter13 | csa3d: the more info you can give about exactly how it's failing, the better chance we have of knowing what's wrong. | 20:26 |
| csa3d | bombshelter13: when i try to open one from the places menu, nothing hapens | 20:26 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: As always, thanks a ton man. Your a king among men hehe :) | 20:27 |
| csa3d | it's almost as though the process dumped | 20:27 |
| lorph | can someone help me, my repo servers give me 404 now, what should i do | 20:27 |
| bombshelter13 | csa3d: hmm, you specified local. Does it work for some ( I suppose remote ) locations? | 20:27 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: If you have problems with it, install a cli-only system from the alternate CD. The server CD has less (well, as far as home computers are concerned) hardware compatability (because it adds 'real' server compat) | 20:27 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: no problem | 20:27 |
| scifiguy951 | how can i scan for comps on my router? | 20:27 |
| Bhavesh | scifiguy951 define 'scan' for comps | 20:27 |
| qr | scifiguy951: you mean computers connected to the same network as you? Use nmap. | 20:27 |
| Flannel | bombshelter13: the scripts running on top of apache depend on apache for security, so it's a bit different as far as updates are concerned. Also, there are a number of things that run on LAMP that are actually in the repos. | 20:27 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Sounds good, is it possible to install the server cli without a monitor? (Possibly remotely?) | 20:28 |
| bombshelter13 | scifiguy: ping everything in your subnet, or if you can be reasonably certain that everyone connected is using DHCP, check the DHCP leases on the router | 20:28 |

| FloodBot1 | Aquahallic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:46 |
| wols_ | !info xserver-xorg | 20:47 |
| ubottu | xserver-xorg (source: xorg): the X.Org X server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2 (hardy), package size 175 kB, installed size 608 kB | 20:47 |
| wols_ | Aquahallic: you have broken repos | 20:47 |
| Aquahallic | yeah... any way to repair this problem? | 20:47 |
| jmichelsen | wols_: doesnt show either hdd that way, shows the ide and sata controller tho, but no scsi controller | 20:47 |
| Flannel | lorph: Even feisty won't be a solution for long. Feisty will read EOL in a few months (October). However while you're negotiating with them to not give you unsupported versions, you can use the edgy repos at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ | 20:47 |
| wols_ | Aquahallic: cjppse a dofferemt pme | 20:47 |
| wols_ | Aquahallic: choose a different one | 20:47 |
| wols_ | jmichelsen: then you don't have a scsi controller | 20:47 |
| darkscrypt | can a person have multiple people who own a single file or folder? | 20:48 |
| Flannel | lorph: But again, those releases *do* *not* contain updates, just packages. All the vulnerabilities (and there are a few major ones that have been patched) still exist in edgy. | 20:48 |
| Aquahallic | where can I find a list of alternatives? | 20:48 |
| Flannel | darkscrypt: no, but the group owner can solve that | 20:48 |
| wols_ | Flannel: it's a VPS. he's expected to update stuff himself usually | 20:48 |
| dmoerner | mochabcha, right click on the desktop -> Behavior -> disable Menu Bar at Top of Screen | 20:48 |
| jmichelsen | wols_: ubuntu installer finds it fine | 20:48 |
| Frederickrabbit | anybody know how to fix 'xgl not present' error or where I can look? | 20:48 |
| wols_ | jmichelsen: then don't lie and say lspci doesn't | 20:48 |
| wols_ | Frederickrabbit: what videocard? | 20:49 |
| mochabcha | i don't have kubuntu, i have ubuntu with gnome, thats the problem | 20:49 |
| Flannel | wols_: lorph said they won't let him upgrade the kernel. Which... in itself is a huge red warning flag. That's horrible security. | 20:49 |
| jmichelsen | wols_: it doesnt show it | 20:49 |
| wols_ | Flannel: it's normal for VPS. can't be done otherwise. but he can at least update his suerland | 20:49 |
| wols_ | *userland | 20:49 |
| wols_ | jmichelsen: stop lying if you want my help | 20:49 |
| jmichelsen | wols_: wtf your problem, why would i be lying, i am here to ask for help | 20:50 |
| wols_ | jmichelsen: cause your statements don't add up. so you must be lying. eliminate the impossible and what is left is the truth | 20:50 |
| jmichelsen | wols_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41958/ | 20:50 |

| Aquahallic | yeah... errors... sec... I'll paste it | 21:13 |
| wols_ | Aquahallic: you messed with bad repos | 21:13 |
| sebastian_ | try aptitude | 21:14 |
| wols_ | 1:1.3.1+git20080524.ef7873db-0ubuntu0tormod2 is NOT a ubuntu repo | 21:14 |
| wols_ | or rather, not frm a ubuntu repo | 21:14 |
| Aquahallic | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 21:14 |
| Aquahallic | xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed | 21:14 |

| Bhavesh | how the hack does the installation cd remember hostname i had given before?! | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | Aquahallic: check system>admin>softare sources | 21:14 |
| wols_ | Aquahallic: either remove the non ubuntu packages or reinstall | 21:14 |
| Aquahallic | I removed the repo I had in there that was probably causing the problem | 21:15 |
| dmoerner | Aquahallic, but you didn't remove the packages from that repo. that's the problem. | 21:15 |
| wols_ | Aquahallic: no, the problem was you installed pacakges from that repo | 21:15 |
| Aquahallic | right | 21:16 |
| John0Neil | My network(wired) have stopped working just after I have installed nvidia restricted driver with the ubuntu wizard. What can I do? | 21:16 |
| Bhavesh | here 's a question | 21:16 |
| wols_ | John0Neil: what NIC driver? | 21:16 |
| Twinity | hi there | 21:17 |
| Aquahallic | so my question is.. how on earth do I find the packages that are not ubuntu packages?? | 21:17 |
| Bhavesh | 7.10 names the hdd's in order /dev/hda/b/c/d, but 8.04 names it in /dev/sda | 21:17 |
| John0Neil | wols_, no idea. defaut with installation | 21:17 |
| giuseppe-karin | ciao a tutti | 21:17 |
| Bhavesh | is it goign to screw up anything | 21:17 |
| wols_ | John0Neil: there is no "default" | 21:17 |
| wols_ | Bhavesh: depends. fstab shouldn't use sdX but UUIDs | 21:17 |
| DrRobotnik | f | 21:17 |
| wols_ | same for menu.lst | 21:17 |
| John0Neil | wols_: Ubuntu have installed everything. The network was working ok before the nvidia restricted driver installation | 21:18 |
| giuseppe-karin | ciaooooooooooooooooo | 21:18 |
| torus | hi | 21:18 |
| Aquahallic | is there a way for me to findout what packages came from that repo so I can snatch them back out? | 21:18 |
| wols_ | John0Neil: I don't care. there is no "default" and nvidia drivers don't mess with ethernet drivers | 21:18 |
| Bhavesh | wols_ i am trying to full clean install of 8.04.1 over 7.10 (ie formatting everything) | 21:18 |
| wols_ | Bhavesh: then no | 21:18 |
| John0Neil | wols_: I am on my XP system now, I don't have access to Ubuntu. | 21:18 |
| wols_ | John0Neil: I don't care. either you can answer my question or you help yourself. good day | 21:19 |
| John0Neil | damn | 21:19 |
| wols_ | or third option, find someone else | 21:19 |
| Bhavesh | wols_ good.. even if things change it's ok since i don't have anything important | 21:19 |
| giuseppe-karin | ciaoooooooooooooo | 21:19 |
| wols_ | Bhavesh: the fresh install will take care | 21:19 |
| torus | anyone knows what SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory means? I try to get wlan up and running and i get this error-message almost each time I try to start up the wlan device. | 21:19 |
| Bhavesh | YAY :) | 21:19 |
| wols_ | giuseppe-karin: do you have a ubuntu related question? (in english!) | 21:19 |
| Bhavesh | let the install rip :) | 21:19 |
| wols_ | torus: that there is no wlan device (or whatever other device you tro to get up) | 21:20 |
| giuseppe-karin | no | 21:20 |
| wols_ | giuseppe-karin: then be quiet | 21:20 |

| sebastian_ | how do i open my extern hardrive when it has a space, in the terminal? | 21:26 |
| jpinx | I'm running a dual boot XP and Feisty FAwn on my desktop and I think I have a virus in XP that shutsdown the computer after a few minutes from booting. I am getting the same problem in Ubuntu - is it possible that the virus has infected Ubuntu as well? | 21:26 |
| Twinity | escape the space, sebastian_ | 21:26 |
| sebastian_ | jpinx i dont think so | 21:26 |
| cwill747 | !virus | jpinx | 21:26 |
| ubottu | jpinx: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 21:26 |
| sebastian_ | so i just write externdrive? | 21:26 |
| wols_ | jpinx: no it's not. it's a hardware problem most likely | 21:27 |
| Twinity | no, use "foo\ bar" instead of "foo bar" | 21:27 |
| Bhavesh | jpinx most likely you have some hardware issue.. could be over heating, or memory going bad | 21:27 |
| sebastian_ | perhaps if u have a new hardware? | 21:27 |
| assargadon | How can I force my computer to shut down when my wget download will be completed? | 21:27 |
| John0Neil | outbriber - wols_ : I will try to restart it, just find the command. Maybe it will correct the problem | 21:27 |
| outbriber | John0Neil: If the net settings are still the same, the nvidia driver or xchat didn't do anything. I would suggest a few internet specific checks, such as making the ethernet cable is plugged in, etc, unless it is dual boot with XP. | 21:27 |
| outbriber | John0Neil: Restarting is a good place to start. | 21:28 |
| assargadon | Should I use something like: wget {blabla} | shutdown {blabla} ? | 21:28 |
| wols_ | assargadon: no | 21:28 |

| assargadon | maybe it should be .sh script with two this lines? | 21:29 |
| sdwrage | thx Twinity | 21:29 |
| dmoerner | sebastian_, use \ to escape the spaces, e.g. cd hello\ world | 21:29 |
| wols_ | sebastian_: cd folder\ with\ spaces | 21:29 |
| Twinity | /etc/php5/apache2 i mean^^ | 21:29 |
| wols_ | assargadon: yes | 21:29 |

| slipttees | hello | 21:31 |
| duiu | So I installed the linux-restricted-drivers packages, which installed the nVidia propreitary drivers, and I enabled them under the hardware manager. I rebot was required, and then after that Ubuntu booted into Low-graphics mode. I tried manually configuring the stuff, but I'm still stuck at 800x600 resolution. My xorg.conf file is configured for the correct resolutions, but they don't show... | 21:31 |
| duiu | ...under the resolution manager. Also, the nVidia drivers have dissappeared in teh hardware manager, even though the package is still installed. Any suggestiosn on how to fix this, or even just revert? | 21:31 |
| assargadon | greate :) | 21:31 |
| sebastian_ | dmoerner: that dont work either :p | 21:31 |

| slipttees | boot parameter use ==> all_generic_ide pnpbios=off acpi=off irqpool noapic nolapic | 21:32 |
| dmoerner | sebastian_, no. cd EXTERN\ DISK | 21:32 |
| wols_ | sebastian_: that is NOT what you've been told | 21:32 |
| Twinity | sebastian_, try cd EXTERN\ DISK | 21:32 |
| slipttees | wols_: :D thx for support | 21:32 |
| sebastian_ | dmoerner: ya i tried cd :p | 21:33 |
| dmoerner | rubystallion, you will have to recompile it yourself for a custom kernel. use module assistant | 21:33 |
| wols_ | rubystallion: you compiled your own kernel now you must compile nvidia drivers from source too using m-a | 21:33 |
| Bhavesh | installing samba at install time or later after reboot, does it make any difference? | 21:33 |
| wols_ | Bhavesh: no | 21:33 |

| Bhavesh | thanks | 21:33 |
| rubystallion | dmoerner: wols_: Okay, I'll try | 21:33 |
| wols_ | sebastian_: use nano | 21:33 |
| erUSUL | Bhavesh: no afaics | 21:33 |
| dmoerner | sdwrage, vim test, then :x or ZZ or :wq to write changes and quit | 21:33 |
| Bhavesh | i have used debian for ages, so i don't think i will have problem with ubuntu either | 21:34 |
| klndz3 | When turned on my laptop, I was notified that 99% of my disk space was used up. Yesterday, it was probably only close to 65%. Is there some disk manager tool that I can use to locate what happened, or is there a fix to this problem? | 21:34 |
| Twinity | sdwrage, press esc and then :q for quit or :w for save | 21:34 |
| wols_ | klndz3: df. du. especially check log dirs | 21:34 |
| sebastian_ | Twinity: now it works | 21:34 |
| sebastian_ | thx :) | 21:34 |
| Twinity | great ^^ | 21:34 |
| Bhavesh | klndz3 on a terminal type df -h that will give you mount point for each partition and how much u are using | 21:34 |
| erUSUL | klndz3: disk analizer in Applications>accesories | 21:34 |
| br10ta10_ | klndz3, try dirstat also | 21:35 |
| sdwrage | are there any differences between vi and vim | 21:35 |
| sdwrage | ? | 21:35 |
| sdwrage | because I have a small book on vi | 21:35 |

| rubystallion | wols_: Can I automate the nvidia driver installation, so that it always happens when I compile a new kernel?\ | 21:35 |
| wols_ | rubystallion: no | 21:35 |
| duiu | Twinity: Where is nvidia-xonf? | 21:35 |
| klndz3 | wols_ Bhavesh, erUSUL, br10ta10, I will do that, and get back to all of you in a sec | 21:35 |
| Twinity | duiu, sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig | 21:35 |
| Bhavesh | np | 21:36 |
| Twinity | duiu, then you can run # nvidia-xconfig | 21:36 |
| dmoerner | wols_, i thought if you used module-assistant it would add a hook to /etc/kernel | 21:36 |
| rubystallion | wols_: Hmm, would you still recommend building a custom kernel? | 21:36 |
| dmoerner | to rebuild the driver on apt upgrade | 21:36 |
| wols_ | rubystallion: no we don't | 21:36 |
| Bhavesh | ok grub error 21 on first boot after ubuntu 8.0.4.1 install | 21:36 |
| klndz3 | br10ta10_ there is no dirstat command | 21:36 |
| sdwrage | ok one more question. How do I change a folder to be writable? | 21:36 |
| wols_ | !permissions > sdwrage | 21:36 |
| ubottu | sdwrage, please see my private message | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | rubystallion: just make it part of the kernel compilation process "make; make install; make modules_install ; mkinitramfs .... ;(reboot) ./nvida-installer -K (reboot)" XXDD | 21:36 |
| duiu | Twinity: to do that it has to remove nvidia-glx-new, which is what I think the driver is... | 21:37 |
| sdwrage | thx | 21:37 |
| rubystallion | erUSUL: that sounds good | 21:37 |
| Twinity | duiu, nvidia-xconfig is just a gui for configuration | 21:37 |
| wols_ | erUSUL: unsupported | 21:37 |
| wols_ | rubystallion: it's not. he is very mistaken | 21:37 |
| rubystallion | wols_: Why? Can you please explain? | 21:38 |
| wols_ | rubystallion: no. I don't explain stupid ideas | 21:38 |
| Twinity | duiu, i had the same problem as you but nvidia-xconfig helped me much ;) | 21:38 |
| duiu | Twinity: I know, but when I do apt-get install nvidia-xconfig, it says "the following packages will be removed 'nvidia-glx-new' | 21:38 |
| br10ta10_ | klndz3, google it. its a download. graphical view of what du provides. | 21:38 |

| duiu | Twinity: Ok, i'm install nvidia-xconfig | 21:39 |
| Bhavesh | changed it to hd(0,0) | 21:39 |
| dmoerner | erUSUL, debian and ubuntu kernels should be compiled with calls to make-kpkg or debian/rules if you have to roll your own | 21:39 |
| Bhavesh | should i open a bug report or something? | 21:39 |
| rubystallion | wols_: Didn't you ever try that stupid idea yourself? | 21:39 |

Question, I have Ubuntu Server installed running Gnome Desktop. Everything works fine except i can not get the computer to boot to Gnome, it keeps going to cvommand prompt. I tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start but it still does not seem to work. Any suggestions? Thank you very much. | 22:01 |

| tapas | clicks on my thinkpad are always interpreted as double clicks | 22:06 |
| klndz3 | guntbert, I just refreshed and my trash folder appeared again | 22:06 |

| tapas | can't move windows etc | 22:06 |
| tanner_ | duiu...its gives me text on the screen then back to command prompt..i didnt write down what it says...im sorry | 22:07 |
| Flannel | tanner_: Its pretty easy, search for packages, click them, they install. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 22:07 |
| erUSUL | JDahl: but if the network has encryption you should set up the keys before the "essid" iirc | 22:07 |
| tanner_ | flannel thank you will write that down and try it out | 22:07 |
| guntbert | klndz3: I did'nt follow, is your problem solved now? | 22:07 |

| ubottu | natnay1: 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+) | 22:17 |

| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: ifdown eth0 turns your first network card off and ifup turns it on again | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | othellix: i already give you a link to such software | 22:31 |
| blip- | !wpa | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | !iso | othellix | 22:31 |
| ubottu | othellix: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 22:31 |
| othellix | it dont work | 22:31 |
| remoteCTRL | sdwrage: why would you have vim? | 22:31 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: Does ifdown then ifup work aswell? Because i dont recall using the ifdown eth0 argument before | 22:31 |
| hubar | Hi. I am using evolution for email, can anyone recommend an equally good GUI client for newsgroups? | 22:31 |
| sdwrage | remoteCTRL, maybe I dont 0_o im not sure... | 22:32 |
| tapas | ok, it was an old xorg.conf lingering aorun dfrom the beta i guess | 22:32 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: ifdown ==interface down, eth0 tells him wich one and its mandatory | 22:32 |
| othellix | the link is not ok | 22:32 |
| remoteCTRL | sdwrage: just try to navigate with your arrow keys and then write something | 22:33 |
| prince_jammys | sdwrage: is there a box at the bottom of the screen that says "Get Help", "Writeout", etc. ? | 22:33 |
| sdwrage | remoteCTRL, ok I exited edit mode after I entered info now how do I save? | 22:33 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: Gotcha | 22:33 |
| sdwrage | prince, no | 22:33 |
| guntbert | othellix: what about google? | 22:33 |
| remoteCTRL | sdwrage: if you see something like to exit press ctrl+x then it is nano | 22:33 |
| sdwrage | no I dont | 22:33 |
| Oli`` | brettley: have any luck? | 22:34 |
| sdwrage | I see ~ on empty lines | 22:34 |
| remoteCTRL | sdwrage: don't you see the instructions on the bottom of the screen? | 22:34 |
| sdwrage | nope | 22:34 |
| prince_jammys | sdwrage: ok. btw, you know you can add an administrative user just by adding the user to the 'admin' group? you wouldn't have to edit the sudoers file. | 22:34 |
| sdwrage | prince, Only group thats on this box is root | 22:34 |
| sdwrage | prince, this is VPS | 22:34 |
| prince_jammys | sdwrage: is this a default ubuntu install? | 22:34 |
| remoteCTRL | sdwrage: what happens with ctrl+x? | 22:34 |
| prince_jammys | obviously not. | 22:34 |
| sdwrage | lemme check | 22:35 |
| sdwrage | nothing | 22:35 |
| sdwrage | I know i have to type : letter | 22:35 |
| sdwrage | to save | 22:35 |
| sdwrage | dont know the letter | 22:35 |
| remoteCTRL | sdwrage: type reset and enter | 22:35 |
| prince_jammys | sdwrage: :wq | 22:35 |
| prince_jammys | sdwrage: what distro is this? | 22:35 |

| sebastian_ | hi guys i ran the cegeda setup wizard and did a 3D Acceleration test and it failed, so how do i activate it? | 22:36 |
| sdwrage | Codename: Hardy | 22:36 |
| RB2 | When I go into Hardware Drives, the nVidia drivers are marked as enabled, but show "Not In Use". Why would this happen? | 22:36 |
| RB2 | Hardware drivers even | 22:36 |
| hubar | Hi. I am using evolution for email, can anyone recommend an equally good GUI client for newsgroups? | 22:36 |
| erUSUL | sebastian_: which graphic card? | 22:36 |
| sebastian_ | nvidia 6200A | 22:37 |
| usser | RB2, did u restart after u installed them? | 22:37 |
| guntbert | !best > hubar | 22:37 |
| ubottu | hubar, please see my private message | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | !nvidia | sebastian_ | 22:37 |
| ubottu | sebastian_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:37 |
| RB2 | usser, yeah. X has been a bit messed up since I had to repair it via the Recovery Mode. | 22:37 |
| sebastian_ | thx | 22:37 |
| usser | RB2, did u use restricted manager or did u install the drivers from nvidia.com? | 22:37 |
| hubar | hmm ok! Thanks for the info. :) | 22:38 |
| RB2 | usser, the restricted manager | 22:38 |
| remoteCTRL | hubar: kalendar | 22:38 |
| erUSUL | need_F1: can you rephrase your problem? | 22:38 |
| RB2 | usser, but now I'm making progress. before nvidia-xconfig was yellow about missing a device driver line. Now, it ran alright with no grumbling. | 22:38 |
| RB2 | s/yellow/yelling | 22:39 |
| usser | RB2, hm, that is weird. can u do lsmod | grep nvidia. See whats displayed also do glxinfo | grep direct | 22:39 |
| hubar | remoteCTRL: That is GNOME based? (Cuz the name looks like an KDE app) | 22:39 |
| remoteCTRL | oh boy nvidia-xconfig==evil | 22:39 |
| remoteCTRL | hubar: kde it is | 22:39 |
| RB2 | usser, sure. This all started when I installed the drivers for a cable tuner card. I've since removed those drivers. | 22:40 |
| Skeleton | hmm my laptop cpu fan seems to run constantly | 22:40 |
| remoteCTRL | hubar: that sunbird thing by mozilla is also useful | 22:40 |
| need_F1 | ok it realy simple if i boot mine laptop without network cable present and network is working, pc goes realy slow | 22:40 |
| remoteCTRL | but it is standallone | 22:40 |
| gkelly | t | 22:40 |
| Bhavesh | lvm2 is too smart.. it remembers lvm info since before reinstallation of ubuntu :) | 22:40 |
| sebastian_ | erUSUL: that site didnt help me | 22:40 |
| sebastian_ | i have all the correct drivers and stuff | 22:40 |
| erUSUL | sebastian_: System>Admin>Hardware drivers | 22:41 |
| need_F1 | synaptic gui dont work, to bring terminal it takes ages, when i put network cable in i instantly get ewrything normal, under a sec response time... | 22:41 |
| SpaceBass | since upgrading to Heardy server, my ldap authenticated user can no long sudo ... its like its not recognizing the network group in the sudoers list | 22:41 |
| Leefmc | Question: If i want to just remove the graphical components of ubuntu, is ubuntu-desktop all that needs to be removed? (Keep in mind i want full functionality via terminal) | 22:41 |
| SpaceBass | anyone know why that might be? | 22:41 |
| sebastian_ | erUSUL: its enabled and in use | 22:41 |
| RB2 | usser, the only one that returned anything was glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/d5a526a06 | 22:41 |
| erUSUL | sebastian_: glxinfo | grep direct | 22:41 |
| hubar | remoteCTRL: Oh I was asking what to use for a newsgroup reader, not a calendar application :) | 22:41 |
| iMind | good evening, can anyone tell me how to use the nopaste with terminal? | 22:42 |
| SpaceBass | Leefmc, are you doing that for space? if not, then you can just change the runlevel | 22:42 |
| sebastian_ | erUSUL: maby cedega just told me wrong, because my 3d effects and all works | 22:42 |
| sebastian_ | ok | 22:42 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: no will not do the job, that will only uninstall some 20mb | 22:42 |
| erUSUL | need_F1: very weird ... have you checked if some process eats cpu on the first case? top | 22:42 |
| sebastian_ | direct renedring yes :p | 22:42 |
| remoteCTRL | hubar: newsgroup not groupware, my bad | 22:42 |
| Jordan_U | Leefmc: No, you would need to remove everything that ubuntu-desktop depends on ( except for things like ubuntu-base ) | 22:42 |
| erUSUL | sebastian_: then you will have to ask some cedega expert | 22:42 |
| usser | RB2, so lsmod | grep nvidia didnt return anything. err its glxinfo | grep direct not lsmod | grep glxinfo | 22:42 |
| Leefmc | SpaceBass: No, strictly because the machine doesn't have a monitor. I just dont care to have it boot up a desktop, runlevel is what i need? | 22:42 |
| remoteCTRL | hubar in that case maybe lifera | 22:42 |
| need_F1 | nothing, it just slow | 22:42 |
| sebastian_ | erUSUL: ok thx for the help :) | 22:42 |
| SpaceBass | Leefmc 3 I think | 22:43 |
| RB2 | usser, ahhh I thought you were list a bunch of grep parameters. ;) | 22:43 |
| Leefmc | SpaceBass: I'll look into it, thanks | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | need_F1: :| nothing strange on logs? | 22:43 |
| usser | RB2, brb try sudo modprobe nvidia see what errors that spits out | 22:43 |
| need_F1 | i insstaled samba and i have printer shares that ar present only when needed | 22:43 |
| need_F1 | nope | 22:43 |
| hubar | remoteCTRL: That lifera is a RSS reader, not a newsgroup reader... | 22:43 |
| need_F1 | nothing strange no errors only on boot "cups" take longer | 22:44 |
| Khisanth | pan is a pretty nice newsgroup reader :) | 22:44 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: runlevels don't do anything in ubuntu unless you switch to runlevel one and that would turn much more then just graphics off | 22:44 |
| RB2 | usser, glibx | grep direct: http://pastebin.com/d64d42c9f | 22:44 |
| Bhavesh | Khisanth it is.. i have used it for the longest time | 22:44 |
| need_F1 | ewen when stop printer shares it have alot hang time | 22:44 |
| remoteCTRL | hubar: damnit!:D i give in | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | Leefmc: Just disable GDM from starting | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | !boot | Leefmc | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Leefmc: 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 | 22:44 |

| * Leefmc clicks | 22:45 | |
| RB2 | usser, the modprobe did nothing, just returned | 22:45 |
| monostone | I have very slow video playback when using xine fullscreen, on the other hand using totem video is fluid fullscreen, I used to have fluid playback fullscreen once, so i must have messed up/or created a conflict with some libs or changed a setting somewhere. | 22:45 |
| Bhavesh | well recently i haven't since i don't know if my local ISP actually has a news server | 22:45 |
| RB2 | usser, I re-ran the nvidia-xconfig, so I'm going to reboot and I'll be back in a moment. | 22:46 |

| Twinity | but why do you want to kill your x? | 22:47 |
| Twinity | i only want to kill my EX sometimes.. but never my X xD | 22:47 |
| rubystallion | Twinity: To install nvidia drivers manually. I just want to try it | 22:47 |
| iMind | wasn't there a syntax for the terminal/shell to create a nopaste page? | 22:47 |
| rubystallion | Twinity: lol | 22:48 |
| Twinity | rubystallion, ehm.. try to set your video driver in xorg.conf to "nvidia" and run nvidia-settings | 22:48 |
| Twinity | rubystallion, should work | 22:48 |
| Bhavesh | nice.. lvm recognized old partitions even after i rebuild things from scratch 9 deleting/creating partitions) | 22:48 |
| natnay1 | need help with tasksel | 22:48 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: have a shot at aptitude purge gnome gnome-core gnome-destop-environment | 22:48 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: So what is my best option then? | 22:48 |
| SpaceBass | since upgrading to Heardy server, my ldap authenticated user can no long sudo ... its like its not recognizing the network group in the sudoers list...anyone know why that might be? | 22:48 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: hah, k :) | 22:48 |

| mountdevbrain | hi! can anybody tell me why firefox doesn't find any flash plugin when it is installed via Applications->Add/Remove...? | 22:48 |
| need_F1 | anny sugesstion erUSUL ? | 22:49 |
| FAJALOU | mountdevbrain: have you installed flashplugin-nonfree ? | 22:49 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: Keep in mind i dont actually care if i remove anything, i just dont care for it to boot into anything more than a cli, so is removing still my best bet? | 22:49 |
| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: yes | 22:49 |
| erUSUL | need_F1: none sorry all i can think of is some weird kernel bug | 22:49 |
| jt__ | anyone have any idea why im not detecting an external usb | 22:49 |
| jt__ | ? | 22:49 |
| rubystallion | Twinity: I'll try | 22:49 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: but as the guy further up said to disable gdm from booting would also do the job, you can do that with the command update-rc.d, if i recall right the switch you are looking for is -f | 22:49 |
| FAJALOU | jt__: we need more detail than that... | 22:50 |
| jt__ | ive got ubuntu for ppc installed on an imac g4 | 22:50 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: update-rc.d is a command? | 22:50 |
| jt__ | i can find it when i apt-get xubuntu-desktop | 22:50 |
| danbhfive | Leefmc: try removing ubuntu-desktop and then using deborphan to clean up | 22:50 |
| need_F1 | is there any place i can go further?! | 22:50 |
| jt__ | but, i tried build from scratch | 22:50 |
| natnay1 | i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" | 22:50 |
| FAJALOU | mountdevbrain: does flash work? | 22:50 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: it is, see man update-rc.d | 22:50 |
| jt__ | and for some reason, i cant find the hd with fdisk -l | 22:50 |
| FAJALOU | jt__: plug it in and type lsusb in terminal post output to paste.ubuntu.com and give us a link | 22:51 |
| jt__ | ok | 22:51 |
| jt__ | thx | 22:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | kde4 is the only thing that can compete with windows and mac in look'n'feel | 22:51 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: update-rc.d -f gdm remove | 22:51 |
| FAJALOU | yao_ziyuan: i would like to debate that,,, | 22:51 |
| natnay1 | i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" | 22:51 |
| danbhfive | natnay1: what are you trying to do? | 22:52 |
| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: how can i find out if flash works if youtube etc. don't work? | 22:52 |
| remoteCTRL | !offtopic > yao_ziyuan | 22:52 |
| ubottu | yao_ziyuan, please see my private message | 22:52 |
| FAJALOU | mountdevbrain: so you cannot see youtube videos? | 22:52 |
| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: if this is the indicator, then i have to say: no, it doesn work | 22:52 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: K thanks, i'll give it a shot when the updates are done :) | 22:52 |
| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: indeed :( | 22:52 |
| remoteCTRL | Leefmc: np:) | 22:52 |
| FAJALOU | ok, are you on a 64 bit or 32 bit? | 22:52 |
| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: firefox just seems to know nothing about any flash plugin | 22:53 |
| yao_ziyuan | FAJALOU: see my desktop before you speak: http://s4.tinypic.com/2qxta93.jpg | 22:53 |
| RB2 | usser, it's working now. :D | 22:53 |

| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: on some sites it even offers me the installation of the "missing plugin" (although i have already installed it!) | 22:53 |
| Leefmc | remoteCTRL: Well, i'll give the reboot a shot i mean. I already used that and it seemed to remove symlinks just fine :) | 22:53 |
| FAJALOU | mountdevbrain: go into terminal | 22:53 |
| FAJALOU | i still disagree with yao_ziyuan,,, grar | 22:54 |
| mountdevbrain | FAJALOU: but when as i click "install missing plugins" it doesnt find anything appropriate | 22:54 |
| usser | RB2, no problem | 22:54 |

| lt_daniel787 | hello | 23:05 |
| Twinity | hi^^ | 23:05 |
| lt_daniel787 | anybody here that could please help me out | 23:05 |
| lt_daniel787 | I have looked around the net | 23:05 |
| Twinity | just ask your question, lt_daniel787 | 23:05 |
| lt_daniel787 | thanks | 23:05 |
| remoteCTRL | !ask | lt_daniel787 | 23:05 |
| ubottu | lt_daniel787: 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. :-) | 23:05 |
| lt_daniel787 | I am unable to connect to a few websites | 23:05 |
| lt_daniel787 | ah ok, thanks | 23:06 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: what websites? | 23:06 |
| Twinity | checked your dns server? | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | lt_daniel787: you get any error ? | 23:06 |
| remoteCTRL | this silence is awkward:D | 23:07 |
| Twinity | somehow i like it ^^ | 23:07 |
| lt_daniel787 | I am unable to connect to a few websites, such as hotmail, facebook, yahoo... for example, I connect to hotmail initially, but then it takes forever saying "waiting for login.live.com", I tried Mozilla, I tried opera, I even tried ie4linux... facebook has similar behaviour, I can log in, but then when I hit a few pages it says waiting and never loads, same occurs with yahoo mail | 23:07 |

| lt_daniel787 | ok | 23:11 |
| unop | remoteCTRL, heh | 23:11 |
| lt_daniel787 | I re-installed ubuntu 3-4 times | 23:11 |

| chippy | hello. how can i stop apache2, mysql and postgres from starting automatically when I reboot? | 23:11 |
| lt_daniel787 | every time, it worked fine at the beggining, then after a while, it started doing that | 23:11 |
| Twinity | lt_daniel787, thats not windows, reinstalling wont fix any problems ;) | 23:11 |
| lt_daniel787 | lol | 23:11 |
| agapl | #agapl | 23:11 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: can it be that you got some parental control on on that router of yours? | 23:11 |
| unop | divinegod, sudo aptitude install -f; sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install python2.5{,-dev} | 23:11 |
| lt_daniel787 | nope sir | 23:11 |
| lt_daniel787 | the option is there, but I have it disabled | 23:12 |

| lt_daniel787 | I pinged the facebook domain, it works | 23:12 |
| chippy | cheers erUSUL :) | 23:13 |
| lt_daniel787 | it is very strange | 23:13 |
| lt_daniel787 | because this problem starts acting up after a while | 23:13 |
| remoteCTRL | unop: help us out please:D | 23:13 |
| zyark|away | lt_daniel787: i would make a guess that the problem is related to your router rather than your installation | 23:13 |
| tj1515 | anybody know why my sound would be going out in the middle of playing an avi file after 20 mins it starts to crackle out then goes out completely vlc player will then not open i have to restart for it to open again | 23:13 |
| lt_daniel787 | the reason I re-installed ubuntu so many times was because I was trying to pinpoint what did it | 23:13 |
| lt_daniel787 | I travel a lot | 23:13 |
| chippy | bum is good? | 23:13 |
| lt_daniel787 | I'm a pilot | 23:13 |
| lt_daniel787 | so I go on a lot of different "routers" | 23:14 |
| Twinity | lt_daniel787, did you try to reboot your router? | 23:14 |
| divinegod | unop: thanks | 23:14 |
| lt_daniel787 | I tried that | 23:14 |
| remoteCTRL | so that lt wasn't just a decoy or so*g* | 23:14 |
| lt_daniel787 | didn't do it unfortunately | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | lt_daniel787: try this (i wild guess) "echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling" then try the affected sites | 23:14 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: if i were in your place my next guess would be to connect the computer directly to the net without the router inbetween so you know what is the source of the problem | 23:15 |
| chippy | god I love ubuntu :) | 23:15 |
| LiH2 | me2 | 23:15 |

| lt_daniel787 | let me try hotmail | 23:18 |
| lt_daniel787 | ok | 23:18 |

| bdunlap | i have a cool idea but dont know if it's actually implemented anywhere... i'd like the desktop to be a usable desktop but also have a terminal built in. anyone know of a way to do that? | 23:18 |
| will02 | why would my system monitor report that my 80 gig hard drive is 97% full, when the disk usage analyzer only reports 11gb is used? | 23:18 |
| === lukeoconnell_ is now known as lukeoconnell | ||
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: then there is your diagnose | 23:18 |
| lmartin92 | how do you run xorgconfig? (it's changed in ubuntu), my mouse has died so I can't figure out how to help myself; I have a command line open so that is all I can work with (keyboard); please pm me, it will be a while because I will eat dinner | 23:18 |
| kolombino | somebody has installed ubuntu in aspire one? | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | bdunlap: there are terminal emulators that work like the quake console you hit a key and you get the console | 23:19 |
| remoteCTRL | bdunlap: you are looking for desklets | 23:19 |
| lt_daniel787 | ok, now everything works fine.... | 23:19 |
| bdunlap | remoteCTRL, no ive used those and they aren't what I'm looking for. | 23:19 |
| lt_daniel787 | with wireless or wired connection | 23:20 |
| lt_daniel787 | I don't know what did it | 23:20 |
| bdunlap | erUSUL, ooh where can I find that? | 23:20 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: it updated your cached dns records so it will work until those exipre | 23:20 |
| prince_jammys | quit | 23:20 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: the ploblem is caused by the router | 23:20 |
| lt_daniel787 | so what can I do about it? | 23:20 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: you would have to "take apart" the router? | 23:21 |
| lt_daniel787 | sounds like too much trouble | 23:21 |
| lt_daniel787 | can't I just set up my router somehow? | 23:22 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: maybe it helps if you reset it to its factory defaults and reconfigure it | 23:22 |
| lt_daniel787 | or set up ubuntu to update DNS records? | 23:22 |
| erUSUL | bdunlap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193520 | 23:22 |
| remoteCTRL | lt_daniel787: maybe there is a fimrware update for your device that covers some bugs... | 23:22 |
| Twinity | lt_daniel787, i agree to remoteCTRL, just reset your router and reconfigure it.. that may help | 23:22 |

| bdunlap | erUSUL, thank you :-) | 23:24 |
| Twinity | John0Neil, ehm... what do you mean? only the desktop icons? | 23:24 |
| remoteCTRL | sd you will need superuser rights, see man sudo | 23:24 |
| John0Neil | outbriber, number of item fitting in screen. simple as that. icons are bigger, I have less bookmarks for a given space in firefox, etc | 23:24 |
| dr_Willis | torx1704, the wine app database proberly has extensive guides/troubleshooting info for WoW. | 23:24 |
| family_ | and if echo doesnt return anything? | 23:24 |
| remoteCTRL | torx1704: crossover could do that.. | 23:24 |

| cizra | Hi | 23:26 |
| cizra | Tell me, is it possible to SAFELY resize a NTFS partition, using only Ubuntu installer tools? | 23:26 |
| outbriber | John0Neil: Did you ever get your internet working again? Twinity may be right, it might be an incorrect DPI setting. | 23:27 |
| remoteCTRL | torx1704: only wine derivates that i know to support wow decently are cedega and crossover, both of them non free | 23:27 |
| Twinity | outbriber, never said that ^^ | 23:27 |
| lmartin92 | anyone get my answer? (pm me me through /query) | 23:27 |
| Twinity | remoteCTRL, im playing wow using ONLY wine | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | cizra: it is possible but resizing partitions is allways risky to some extend ... | 23:27 |
| remoteCTRL | torx1704: you can of course accomplish that with wine but it requires a lot if fiddeling.. | 23:27 |
| outbriber | Err, sorry Twinity, that was Jordan_U | 23:28 |
| Twinity | ;) | 23:28 |
| torx1704 | do anybody know to a ping/dc problems playing wow using wine ? ;) and how to fix em ? | 23:28 |
| remoteCTRL | Twinity: so what are you waiting for? tell him how to:D | 23:28 |
| cizra | erUSUL: So there are ntfstools and whatever? Or does the installer partition thingy support it? | 23:28 |
| John0Neil | outbriber, yes the network is ok now. I have set off HPTE and Memory protection off in bios. I'm not sure if it is related. I will take a look at DPI | 23:28 |
| torx1704 | remoteCRTL, what do you mean, i have to change some settings in wine ? | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | cizra: gpartez con do it (ntfstools installed) | 23:28 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: You around? | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | cizra: gparted con do it (ntfstools installed) | 23:28 |

| hubar | What fonts do you guys use for terminal? | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | cizra: ntfsprogs | 23:29 |
| torx1704 | Twinity, is it my problem you dont know ? :P | 23:29 |
| remoteCTRL | torx1704: well wine hast a quite substantial list of parameters that can be tweaked... | 23:29 |
| cizra | erUSUL: OK, thanks. | 23:29 |
| Twinity | torx1704, i know ^^ | 23:29 |

| unop | lt_daniel787, try using a different set of DNS servers for a while | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | dstrbdfrk: "Ubuntu ultimate edition" is not an official version of Ubuntu. It is a bad hack and I recommend against using it | 23:33 |
| lmartin92 | unop: my mouse won't work at all, usb (tried 2 different mice, all usb ports), fails a couple secs after startup | 23:33 |
| lmartin92 | so I want to xorgconfig to enable different mouse option | 23:34 |
| dstrbdfrk | jordan_u ? why is that im having trouble with the compiz i turned the effects off and now it wont let me turn them back on | 23:34 |
| lmartin92 | but there is no xorgconfig | 23:34 |
| unop | lmartin92, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at the moment? | 23:34 |
| lmartin92 | so any other way's beside killing system | 23:34 |
| lmartin92 | wait just a sec unop, will use command line | 23:34 |

| Jordan_U | dstrbdfrk: I looked at one of the update scripts for "ultimate" and was appalled at how unsafe it was, why not just use Ubuntu and add what you want? | 23:36 |
| lmartin92 | unop: do you want my file? because I can't give it to a pastee and I know it's bad to paste long file to screen | 23:36 |
| unop | lmartin92, ok. back it up like this. sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bak} # then restart X and try your mice out | 23:36 |
| lmartin92 | ok | 23:37 |
| woli | does ubuntu come with g++ ? | 23:37 |

| Shwaba | neka za hot? xD | 23:37 |
| Twinity | ok, wasnt sure | 23:37 |
| m0rbid | Also, when you install a package that fails, how the hell do you remove it from it attempting to install it all the time and failing? | 23:37 |
| danbhfive | m0rbid: have you tried removing it? | 23:38 |
| m0rbid | danbhfive: I have tried several attempts with sudo apt-get -f install | 23:38 |
| lmartin92 | unop: how do I restart X? (without killing all my apps? or is that impossible?) | 23:38 |
| unop | lmartin92, you have to kill your apps | 23:38 |
| danbhfive | m0rbid: can you pastebin the error? | 23:38 |
| dr_Willis | lmartin92, not possible as far as i know. | 23:38 |
| unop | m0rbid, try using aptitude. sudo aptitude install | 23:38 |
| m0rbid | danbhfive: sure, gimme a second. | 23:38 |
| lmartin92 | ok, then what's the command and will tell if work when I get back | 23:39 |
| Spoonzor | Hey guys, having trouble getting any sound out of my Digital Out, I am running Hardy Heron (2.6.24-19-generic) with an Intel ICH8 HD card(onboard), anyone know what I can do? | 23:39 |
| lmartin92 | (I don't like to use the ctrl+alt+backspace) | 23:39 |
| unop | lmartin92, assuming you use the GDM/KDM .. sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 23:39 |
| Jordan_U | m0rbid: You can edit it's configure script to exit immediately so it doesn't fail, the reason why it does not allow you to remove it is that it may be in a partially installed state that will leave things in a bad state if the script does not continue | 23:40 |
| m0rbid | danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/m3b35c923 | 23:40 |
| monostone | can AIGLX be enabled to get direct rendering using ati fglrx drivers? I'm running ubuntu 8.0.4.1 with kernel 2.6.24.19 | 23:40 |
| unop | Jordan_U, not a good idea .. better way is to edit the configure script and change set -e to set +e .. or just comment it out | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | m0rbid: Can you pastebin the output from "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? | 23:40 |
| John0Neil | outbriber, I have changed the font size by 2 point to arrive to something equivalent. that's crazy to waste so much space by default | 23:40 |
| m0rbid | Jordan_U: there isnt anything to paste. | 23:41 |
| monostone | if not why does using XGL to enable direct rendering with ATI fglrx drivers produce horrible fullscreen video playback? | 23:41 |
| outbriber | John0Neil: So is the font equivalent to that in XP? I just messed with mine for the first time in a while and like the extra space I get. | 23:42 |
| outbriber | John0Neil: But I'm running at 3200x1050 so it doesn't make so much difference for me. | 23:42 |
| danbhfive | m0rbid: try just killing the package: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdevilspie.postrm | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | m0rbid: Ok, then can you please pastebin the output from "sudo apt-get remove <whatever the package is>" ? | 23:42 |
| m0rbid | ok which one do I do here? | 23:43 |
| John0Neil | outbriber, ok. I don't know for sure about the font equivalent with XP. It's working and I'm happy with it :P. ty | 23:43 |
| m0rbid | I got two people telling me to do two different things. | 23:43 |
| unop | m0rbid, what is gdevilspie ? and where did you get it from? | 23:43 |
| remoteCTRL | outbriber: if you are looking for microsoft fonts that would be sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | m0rbid: Give us more info first, only delete the postrm or as a last resort | 23:43 |
| outbriber | John0Neil: np | 23:43 |
| m0rbid | unop, from somewhere in the Ubuntu forums, its a GUI frontend for Devilspie | 23:44 |
| m0rbid | Jordan_U: ok. | 23:44 |
| unop | m0rbid, ok, and how did you attempt to install it exactly? | 23:44 |
| outbriber | remoteCTRL: naw, I was just seeing if John0Neil thought the font he got in Ubuntu was the same as the one he got in XP, he was wondering why he didn't have as much space in Ubuntu | 23:44 |
| m0rbid | One thing at a time, hang tight | 23:44 |
| unop | this is the problem with installing random software without first understanding it | 23:45 |
| remoteCTRL | outbriber: space? | 23:45 |
| Whiz2 | how do i kill the X server process from a tty terminal command line? | 23:45 |
| unop | Whiz2, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 23:45 |
| m0rbid | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/d346091de | 23:45 |
| outbriber | remoteCTRL: As in for all the windows on the screen. Changing the font size changed how big each program needs to be. | 23:45 |
| danbhfive | m0rbid: follow my directions as a last resort, or if you just get sick of debugging the issue : P | 23:45 |
| remoteCTRL | Whiz2: ps aux | grep gdm and then kill -9 processidOfGDM | 23:46 |
| unop | remoteCTRL, heh. never do kill -9 | 23:46 |
| remoteCTRL | or ... what unop said... | 23:46 |
| m0rbid | gah, theres a few things on my list, like my Firefox, when it loads, and we will use that term loosely here, it jumps around alot. | 23:46 |
| remoteCTRL | hehe | 23:46 |
| Whiz2 | remoteCTRL: would be nice with gnome, but i'm running kde | 23:46 |
| unop | Whiz2, like i said | 23:46 |
| remoteCTRL | Whiz2: the it is probably the sam with kdm | 23:47 |
| unop | remoteCTRL, if ever you find yourself needing to kill -9 on a process .. you should get rid of the process | 23:47 |
| lmartin92 | unop: I'm back, why is it that my mouse works (and will die later) | 23:47 |
| remoteCTRL | unop: wel i had it once or twice with gdm... but of course you are absolutely right basically... | 23:48 |
| Whiz2 | i used the first suggestion which worked | 23:48 |
| unop | lmartin92, examine the output of the dmesg command .. you probably will get an idea. also tail -n 50 /var/log/xorg.0.log | 23:48 |
| unop | lmartin92, make that. /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:49 |
| m0rbid | Jordan_U: anything? | 23:49 |
| unop | m0rbid, tell me how exactly you attempted to install this package. | 23:49 |
| remoteCTRL | unop: I'm still just a noob after all*g* | 23:50 |
| woli | how do i run an executable from the terminal? | 23:50 |
| m0rbid | unop: I found the deb, and threw it into synaptic. | 23:50 |
| unop | woli, type it's name | 23:50 |
| unop | woli, /path/to/file | 23:50 |
| unop | m0rbid, do you still have the .deb now? | 23:50 |
| m0rbid | ermm | 23:50 |
| lmartin92 | unop: It's using PS2Explorer and I have a usb mouse | 23:50 |
| m0rbid | lemme find it | 23:50 |
| woli | i did, but it says that there is no executable | 23:51 |
| lmartin92 | unop: how do I keep the mouse from dieing in the future? | 23:51 |
| unop | woli, whats the exact error message? | 23:51 |
| woli | bash: <filename>: command not found | 23:51 |
| remoteCTRL | :D | 23:51 |
| unop | lmartin92, you have to find out what the hardware is doing .. then make a decision based on that | 23:51 |
| unop | lmartin92, it's like you calling up your mechanic and asking him "how do i stop my car from breaking down ever again?" | 23:52 |
| m0rbid | unop: http://code.google.com/p/gdevilspie/downloads/detail?name=gdevilspie_0.31_i386.deb&can=2&q= | 23:52 |
| tsudot | which a good ftp client for linux? | 23:52 |
| jrib | lmartin92: does it die if you unplug it and then plug it back in too? | 23:52 |
| tolecnal | tsudot: ncftp | 23:52 |
| lmartin92 | unop: well, I don't usually edit my xorg.conf myself, (I'm not that good), so I need to know the xorgconf tool | 23:52 |
| lmartin92 | jrib: I'll try | 23:52 |
| remoteCTRL | tsudot: filezilla | 23:52 |
| lmartin92 | jrib: yes | 23:52 |
| lmartin92 | no | 23:52 |
| lmartin92 | jrib: no | 23:52 |
| lmartin92 | jrib: still works | 23:52 |
| * jrib is confused | 23:52 | |
| lmartin92 | sorry jrib | 23:53 |
| woli | unop, any ideas? | 23:53 |
| gd1 | hi how can I disable a kernel module? | 23:53 |
| gd1 | just like a boot option | 23:53 |
| unop | m0rbid, download the file somewhere .. say to ~/Desktop and run this command. cd ~/Desktop && sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 23:53 |
| remoteCTRL | lmartin92: no such thing like an xorcconfigtool | 23:53 |
| gd1 | module=disable | 23:53 |
| lmartin92 | jrib: the mouse lagged on be recognized so I said no, but then it got recognized so I said yes | 23:53 |
| jrib | lmartin92: is it wireless? | 23:53 |
| gd1 | isn't there anything like that? | 23:53 |
| lmartin92 | usb | 23:53 |
| unop | m0rbid, if you run into trouble there .. let us know | 23:53 |
| lmartin92 | jrib: usb | 23:53 |
| wooboy | hello | 23:53 |
| jrib | lmartin92: weird | 23:53 |
| unop | woli, where exactly is the file located? | 23:53 |
| m0rbid | unop: ok | 23:53 |
| lmartin92 | remoteCTRL: xorgconfig (found on other linux distributions, GENTOO for instance) | 23:54 |

| Chousuke | Whiz2: ps aux | 23:55 |
| jrib | Whiz2: ps or top | 23:55 |
| unop | lmartin92, if all goes well, a new xorg.conf is generated in your home folder | 23:55 |
| === AngelFace_ is now known as AngelFace | ||
| remoteCTRL | lmartin92: well i am familiar with the following ways of tinkering with your x; manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, use system/preferences/screen resolution, or use aticonig or nvidia-settings | 23:55 |
| lauren4667 | lmartin92, yeah, so it seems from looking at the forums. seems i should restore xorg from back up, but i'm not sure i follow how to do that.. | 23:56 |
| woli | is there like a codeblocks-ubuntu channel? | 23:56 |
| lmartin92 | ok unop, I'll compare my original xorg.conf and my generated one | 23:56 |
| br10ta10_ | WiFi config question: just installed on my toshiba portege 3500. WiFi doesn't work. Configured it in sys->admin->network, but it isn't listed in ifconfig (it's eth1 according to iwconfig). And "ifconfig eth1 up" gives SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out | 23:56 |

| jrib | Whiz2: you can kill all your user's processes | 23:57 |
| unop | m0rbid, let's have a look at the output on a pastebin anyway. | 23:57 |
| Whiz2 | jrib: i want to kill everything but the core, because the OS as is... well... it's broken | 23:57 |
| m0rbid | unop: ok | 23:57 |
| kevinO | hello how do i install something locally?? | 23:57 |

| unop | Whiz2, be sure to close all your apps down first | 23:58 |
| jrib | Whiz2: you are being too vague | 23:58 |
| lmartin92 | remoteCTRL: yep, got the nvidia card | 23:58 |
| maximal | Whiz2: You may want to run in single user mode | 23:58 |
