| kartoffelmensch | hey! i want to deinstall this crappy keyring app but if i tell synaptics to deinstall it, synaptic says that its going to remove xubuntu-desktop, networkmanager etc as well | 00:11 |
| kartoffelmensch | 1. why? and 2. what can i do about it? | 00:11 |
| ehom1 | hi, howto cp /home/user1/*.* to /home/user2/*.* ? | 00:11 |
| Flannel | kartoffelmensch: because the network manager depends on the keyring manager, and xubuntu-desktop depends on network manager | 00:11 |
| Caru | so how do i install the metacity theme? | 00:11 |
| theunixgeek | ehom1: type that in the terminal, prefixed by sudo | 00:12 |
| unop | ehom1, sudo rsync -a /home/user1/ /home/user2/ | 00:12 |
| jrib | Caru: that one you should be able to drag the tar.gz into the Appearances dialog | 00:12 |
| Caru | ooohh ok col | 00:12 |
| Caru | cool* | 00:12 |
| neilvaage | Or click Install and browse to the theme. | 00:12 |
| ehom1 | theunixgeek: home/user1 is broken, and i created /home/user2, -- and i m trying to backup broken user, and cp good user settings to broken | 00:13 |
| kartoffelmensch | Flannel: do u want to tell me that i HAVE to use this application then? :( | 00:13 |
| theunixgeek | ehom1: I don't know what you mean by broken but best bet here would be to reinstall | 00:13 |
| Flannel | kartoffelmensch: Only if you want to use network manager (and whatever other apps depend on it) | 00:14 |
| unop | ehom1, how is it broken exactly? | 00:14 |
| ehom1 | theunixgeek: i can login /home/user1 -- but can not click anything all frozen | 00:14 |
| Flannel | kartoffelmensch: xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, and can be safely removed | 00:14 |
| jessid | i have just done. Thanks a lot!!! | 00:14 |
| theunixgeek | ehom1: yep reinstallation is the best thing to do | 00:14 |

| thethirdmoose | If I want to uninstall ubuntu and GRUB, can I use WUBI even if I installed without it? | 00:15 |

| unop | ehom1, i'd say a reinstall is completely overkill | 00:15 |
| Caru | Is there a way to change the color of the drag-to-select box thing | 00:15 |
| theunixgeek | ehom1: but it's ok - from a live CD, just backup your files to a pen drive | 00:15 |
| unop | ehom1, the problem might be down to something very trivial | 00:16 |
| theunixgeek | Caru: what the heck is a drag-to-select box thing? :P | 00:16 |
| DaFFes | hi guys, i've just installed ubuntu, the audio and video codesc were ok, then i tried to install rmvb support and now the video is extremally slow and the mp3 files aren't played, is there a way to clean everything about audio and video codecs and execute that autocodec search of ubuntu? i think the problem started with medibutntu | 00:16 |
| dr_Willis | Hexxeh, ive seen them differe.. depending on the drives.. If you bought them both at the same time i would say they should be thesame.. if you bot them a few months apart.. they could differ. | 00:16 |
| neilvaage | You mean the "box" you click and drag to select icons? | 00:16 |

| Caru | yeah, lol I couldnt think of a word for it | 00:17 |
| Caru | but is there a way to change the color of it? | 00:17 |
| theunixgeek | Caru: contextual menu? | 00:17 |
| theunixgeek | (i.e., right-click menu) | 00:17 |
| unop | ehom1, your cp command should work ok .. except it wont copy directories | 00:17 |
| unop | ehom1, cp -a ~user1/* ~user2/ | 00:18 |
| thethirdmoose | If I want to uninstall ubuntu and GRUB, can I use WUBI even if I installed Ubuntu without it? | 00:18 |
| dr_Willis | thethirdmoose, Wubi does not depend on grub, or a normally installed ubuntu. from what i read about wubi | 00:18 |
| neilvaage | Who'd want to uninstall Ubuntu! Blasphemy ;) sorry not sure tbh. | 00:18 |

| Bhavesh | bkbral not much to do to recover from it | 01:01 |

| dstrbdfrk | what do you type into the terminal to show what all is attatched to your comp df | ? | 01:01 |
| dr_Willis | Tip #1 - if asking a question.. it pays to actually ASK a question. | 01:01 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 01:01 |
| Ineedzhelp | Hey do i need ubuntu server edition if i want to put sterisk on it? | 01:01 |
| bkbral | help | 01:01 |
| dr_Willis | dstrbdfrk, 'sudo fdisk -l' shows all drives/filesystems. | 01:01 |
| dr_Willis | dstrbdfrk, df would show free space on mounted disks | 01:01 |
| dstrbdfrk | thanx | 01:01 |
| dstrbdfrk | now once i figure out what drive ti is how to i force mount it | 01:02 |
| dr_Willis | dstrbdfrk, i often use this in an alias for 'diskfree' = df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs | 01:02 |
| torx | kindofabuzz, i have the installer up running , but i cant get past the section with , " where do you wanna place you steam installation " thing , thats my problem | 01:02 |
| dr_Willis | dstrbdfrk, force mount what? | 01:02 |
| dstrbdfrk | an external hd it says it was shut down unclean | 01:03 |
| dr_Willis | mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/vistaboot -o force | 01:03 |
| dr_Willis | thats the command normally shown by the example/mount command when you try to mount it and it suggests forceing it | 01:03 |
| torx | guys how can i make a fake c drive ? | 01:03 |
| dr_Willis | or use ntfs-3g if you want rw | 01:03 |
| Ineedzhelp | Do i need the server edition in order to get asterisk ??? | 01:03 |

| dstrbdfrk | dr _willis how can you fx it so you dont have to force it ? | 01:04 |
| torx | dr_Willis, its because steam need a c:/program files/steam, to get installed | 01:04 |
| torx | and i dont got that | 01:04 |
| dr_Willis | wine has its own c: | 01:05 |
| torx | okay how does i install on that c: | 01:05 |
| dr_Willis | which is normally set to be in .wine/fake_windows/C or somthing like that | 01:05 |
| dr_Willis | You aparently need to configure wine corectly. | 01:05 |
| torx | dr_willis can you plz help me do that =)? | 01:06 |
| futurama141 | heyhey | 01:06 |
| dr_Willis | torx, ive never needed to mess with it.. when i isntall wine and run a wine app its always made a ~/.wine/drive_c to begin with | 01:06 |
| dr_Willis | ive never had to manually mess with it torx | 01:06 |
| Syco54645_AAO | does anything in particular have to be enabled when compiling the kernel for klogd to work? | 01:06 |

| dr_Willis | torx, wine installer.exe works for me normally | 01:07 |
| torx | dr_willis its the steaminstaller | 01:07 |
| dbag | this is probably old news, but has anyone figured out how to smb to a windows machine using hardy? | 01:07 |
| dr_Willis | and if i have no .wine, the wine command normally makes that .wine directory | 01:07 |
| torx | that doesent work prob. | 01:07 |
| fluid | i must be missing something here. i just set up mpd to work with pulse audio, set the mpd users as "mpd", and gave "mpd" the pulse-rt, pulse-access and audio groups. but it still will only play when run as root. any clues? | 01:07 |
| dr_Willis | torx, so use whatever name it has.. dont expect us to be wine experts here. | 01:07 |
| dr_Willis | or steam experts. :) | 01:08 |

| Chary | Also find that my typing text often lags when switching from one window to another for typing. | 01:11 |

| Riyonuk | I just installed Ubuntu, how come it feels so bloated? I mean, maybe because the mouse pointer is thicker than windows, but it just seems slower or something. Seems weird. | 01:12 |
| outbriber | <Riyonuk>: you can adjust the pointer speed. | 01:12 |
| slobad23 | have you installed all the updates and restricted drivers? | 01:12 |
| Riyonuk | Well, and I mean when opening things, I see the loading pointer ALOT, I NEVER see that in windows | 01:13 |
| Chary | slobad23, If that was directed at me, I sure have. My webcam worked fine and I have no issues loading Skype and typing. | 01:13 |

| slobad23 | sorry - that was at riyonuk | 01:13 |
| w1ll | sorry | 01:13 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, i tend to see '(not responding)' a lot more in windows.. then i do in Linux. :) but im just rambling.. mad at Vista at the moment.. Heh | 01:13 |
| nick_ | ns nick nickweb | 01:14 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, its possible somthing is missconfigured and making linux slow. normally its quite a lot faster then windows. | 01:14 |
| neilvaage | Hmm, any good ideas for fixing/explenations as to why with "TexturedVideo" "on" in the xorg.conf video playback slows down a whole lot, when not in fullscreen mode? However when putting video in fullscreen it is smooth as a baby bum. | 01:14 |
| Chary | Also, if using 32bit Ubtuntu on a 64bit processor, are there any noticable differences to that of if I were on 64bit? Or is it only slight speed increases that I'd notice? | 01:14 |
| Riyonuk | I agree about Vista as well, it just doesn't feel as "snappy" as windows, though to point out I am using TinyXP, a stripped down version of windows. | 01:14 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, :) used that also.. for err.. research.. yea thats it... | 01:14 |
| Riyonuk | It was fast though, righ | 01:14 |
| Riyonuk | *right | 01:14 |
| w1ll | can anyone point me to a link for a fully unattended Ubuntu install? | 01:14 |
| nick_ | right folks, whats my chances of getting my pics back after i seriously screwed up and installed fedoro, apparently overwriting my home directory (when i *quite* clearly checked that it wouldnt | 01:15 |
| nick_ | fedora* | 01:15 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, ive onny used it for vmware, or some old laptops. and even then i disabled all the extras in tinyxp | 01:15 |
| futurama141 | how do i format a hard drive? | 01:15 |
| ozzloy | when i stick in an sd card in, f-spot copies the pictures off, but doesn't delete them from the card. how do i make it delete the pics? | 01:16 |
| unop | futurama141, use gparted for a GUI or see the fsck manpage for CLI | 01:16 |
| slobad23 | futurama141: i would use something like parted magic or "qparted" which comes on live cd's like knoppix | 01:16 |
| dres | nick_: how much money do you want to spend? | 01:16 |
| nick_ | dres none.. | 01:17 |

| unop | !undelete > nick_ | 01:17 |
| ubottu | nick_, please see my private message | 01:17 |
| dr_Willis | futurama141, you partition a hard drive. making 'filesystems' on it. which you then format. with the mkfs.* commands normally or use gparted | 01:17 |
| Riyonuk | dr_Willis, but do you agree that Ubuntu seems sloower than TinyXP? | 01:17 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, No i do not. | 01:17 |
| neilvaage | Riyon for me, Ubuntu is running extremely smooth, on a Asus EEE PC. | 01:17 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, I do NOT use compiz, or other fancy eyecandy however.. that can cause a lag | 01:17 |
| neilvaage | That's with Compiz effects, on a 900Mhz CPU with 1GB RAM, I'd say it's quite snappy :P | 01:18 |
| futurama141 | ok, so is anyone familiar with PHLAK? | 01:18 |
| Riyonuk | I have a 4GB Ram, 128GB SSD Hardrive, and it's slow XD | 01:18 |
| neilvaage | Only having issues on the 915GM intel built in card with video playback | 01:19 |
| slobad23 | what is it with people thinking that linux is SOOO much faster than windows... if you go and download every piece of software under the sun and have it running on linux, you're just turning it into that hulky windows machine you had before | 01:19 |
| neilvaage | Well problem being I want to be able to rotate the video without it looking all weird. | 01:19 |
| pyrotechnick | Hi, I've set up postfix with dbmail, but I need to be able to send mail locally to test my setup, I just can't figure out how, I'm able to login to dbmail through pop and imap and send emails, it's just receiving emails that I am having trouble with, I think if i pointed an MX record from a domain at my testing server it would work, so how do I emulate that behaviour locally? | 01:19 |
| slobad23 | windows isn't slow! stop expecting linux to perform miracles :) | 01:20 |
| neilvaage | Wich TexturedVideo fixed, but then when not in fullscreen the whole video playback is awefully slow. | 01:20 |
| neilvaage | Linux did miracles for m Slobad :D | 01:20 |
| Bynw | i want to slow down have fast the cat command reads a file ... i understand that can be done with a bash script but that is all i know. any suggestions? | 01:20 |

| monostone | I lost functionality of the media keys on my G11, I designated the G15 layout thinking it would be the same (minus the LCD), but now in keyboard shortcuts the play, stop, are detected as XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioStop and Xorg.0.log shows it is recieving ((II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x22 && (II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x24). The keys that DO work have the scancodes designated as 0xae,0xa0, etc... How can I reset or recon | 01:20 |
| monostone | figure the keyboard layout settings to use the initial autoconfigured settings, or better yet, configure and understand why this is happening? | 01:20 |
| kindofabuzz | slobad23, let's see vista run on this 1.2GHz faster than gnome and compiz | 01:20 |
| kindofabuzz | won't happen | 01:21 |
| slobad23 | i run xp on the eee with xubuntu bootable from SD... both are fine | 01:21 |

| Syco54645_AAO | does anything in particular have to be enabled when compiling the kernel for klogd to work? | 01:21 |

| bobbob1016 | salaz, Patience is a virtue, second, it makes more sense to repeat your question, instead of getting people to scroll up | 01:47 |

| sevensun | sorry guys i got a problem with amule. When I try do download the server list, it simply crashes. Got amule, amule commons, and alla the stuff on... | 01:49 |
| ubuntunub | bobbob1016: i don't see how it shud restrict access to files on that partition | 01:49 |
| fluid | because the partition is not dismounted likely. | 01:49 |

| afallenhope | hey is there any software that will take my webcam and reproduce it like WebcamMax? no so much using effects.. but so I can use my webcam with more than on e service? | 01:50 |
| ubuntunub | fluid: how does a partition get "mounted" and "dismounted"? something to do with MBR? | 01:50 |
| bobbob1016 | ubuntunub, Because ntfs-3g, the driver that lets you access the ntfs drive was backwards engineered. Hibernation does funny things to the drive, and leaves it in a weird state. It could also have some security thing like bit-locker or something during hibernation. | 01:50 |
| kartoffelmensch | whats the html command for a break? | 01:51 |
| ubuntunub | bobbob1016: i have no bit-locker so can't be that | 01:51 |
| outbriber | <kartoffelmensch>: <br> | 01:51 |
| bobbob1016 | ubuntunub, Something like it, I didn't say bit-locker, I said "like bit-locker" | 01:51 |
| kartoffelmensch | thanks outbriber | 01:51 |
| thenetduck | would someone be able to help me change someing in netbeans on ubuntu? I need to change my default web browser | 01:51 |
| ubuntunub | bobbob1016: ambiguity of English does wonders | 01:52 |
| ubuntunub | thnx | 01:52 |
| bobbob1016 | ubuntunub, That is the answer. There are ways you could probably mount the drive still, but it will probably mess up the drive. | 01:52 |
| sevensun | sorry guys i got a problem with amule. When I try do download the server list, it simply crashes. Got amule, amule commons, and alla the stuff on... can anybody help me?? | 01:53 |
| fluid | it is more likely that the ntfs mount bit is not flagged as unmounted during a hibernate. | 01:53 |

| Starnestommy | dasdajs: ident uses port 113 | 02:11 |

| Starnestommy | dasdajs: you'll need to restart your bouncer for irc servers to see your ident reply | 02:14 |
| dasdajs | Starnestommy okay thanks | 02:15 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, most likely 'roll up' 'always on top' and the normal features | 02:15 |
| rockyrock | dr_Willis: Have you ever faced a freeze? | 02:15 |
| Riyonuk | :O | 02:15 |
| alkaliv2 | If I'm using an AGP nvidia card, do I need frame buffer support in my kernel? I have frame buffer off in my xorg.conf | 02:15 |
| Riyonuk | I've never even heard of those | 02:15 |
| dr_Willis | rockyrock, not really. This 8800gtsxxx machine has very few issues in Linux... just dont ask about Vista | 02:15 |
| dr_Willis | Riyonuk, looks a lot like the 'plastik' theme im am using now :) differnt colors | 02:16 |
| Mys | i need some help with Realtek audio card i have tried everything possible to get sound but nothing works any ideas? | 02:16 |
| rockyrock | dr_Willis: what do you recommend? | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mys: how does lspci identify the card? | 02:16 |
| dr_Willis | rockyrock, not a clue.. Not sure on your details or exact problem. some others in the channel may have advice. I tend to not use compiz, and i use the simpiler window managers.. i also rarely use flash. so i rarely have any issues. | 02:17 |
| Mys | lspci? | 02:17 |
| newbe1 | . | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mys: well, you've clearly not tried everything | 02:18 |
| Mys | 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mys: open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and see exactly how it identifies your sound device | 02:18 |
| Mys | thats what it said | 02:18 |
| Mys | i have AMD X64 | 02:19 |
| rockyrock | is there anyway to have a report file or something for why the system got frozen? | 02:19 |
| Mys | it was workin before i had did the sys-upgrade | 02:20 |
| Mys | IndyGunFreak: do you have any clue? | 02:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mys: no, was just doing some googling, doesn't look like your'e alone | 02:20 |
| Mys | :| | 02:20 |
| Mys | i dont get it, it was working but i updated to 8.04 | 02:21 |
| dasdajs | Starnestommy still won't work :S | 02:21 |
| dr_Willis | rockyrock, if you could troubleshoot and point to where/what froze it.. but just reporting 'it froze' isent really that helpfull.. | 02:22 |

| ozo | sorry | 02:22 |
| shocm | Mys: Yeah Ubuntu changed how they handle audio | 02:22 |
| dr_Willis | rockyrock, could be a bug with the nvidia drivers. which are not under out controll. or could be somthing else entirely. | 02:22 |
| salaz | helo, is there any media centre than elisa? | 02:22 |
| dasdajs | Starnestommy any ideas? :S | 02:23 |
| shocm | Mys: let me see if I can find the links I was using to troubleshot my audio issue. | 02:23 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, i have used MythTV befor - but its often overkill. | 02:23 |
| shocm | Same this you were seeing, it working at 7.10 and then didn't after update | 02:23 |
| salaz | dr_Willis: is it the same function as elisa? | 02:24 |
| DavidCraft | vsftpd is no longer apearing in my init.d folder, how do I get it back? | 02:24 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, not a clue.. never seen/heard of elisa befor.. MythTV is a all-in-one record/playback/stream/ TV-tivo type thing | 02:24 |
| dr_Willis | !info elisa | 02:25 |
| ubottu | elisa (source: elisa): media center solution - runtime executables. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.5-3 (hardy), package size 19 kB, installed size 144 kB | 02:25 |
| DavidCraft | any ideas any one? | 02:25 |
| shocm | Ubuntu use to default to ALSA system, now it uses something else | 02:25 |
| salaz | dr_Willis: oh..elisa is like microsoft windows media centre..but much better..u should try | 02:25 |
| Denise | lost in translation | 02:25 |
| dr_Willis | shocm, its actually using alsa.. with pulse audio on top | 02:25 |
| Mys | shocm: i installed every mixer and none worked | 02:26 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, i tend to use 'geexbox' as a mini-linux-media-center thing on the laptop :) | 02:26 |
| salaz | dr_Willis: so how can i install geexbox or mythtv? | 02:26 |
| m1dn1ght | pulseaudio.....*shudder* | 02:26 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, mythtv is documented and is its own package.. geexbox is a mini linux disrto. not a program. | 02:26 |
| shocm | Mys: yeah I tried the same thing with no luck except that it seeing that it has audio now. Before it would just say it didn't detect any sound card | 02:27 |
| dr_Willis | !mythtv | salaz | 02:27 |
| ubottu | salaz: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV | 02:27 |
| odditie | Can someone point me in the direction to fix my screen resolution? Just installed Ubuntu, have some previous experience, but it has been a long time | 02:27 |
| shocm | Right Pulseaudio..l | 02:27 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, mythtv may be vast overkill for your needs | 02:27 |
| DavidCraft | nvm got it | 02:27 |
| shocm | dr_Willis: Any idea why they made that change? | 02:27 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:27 |
| salaz | dr_Willis: ok tq | 02:27 |
| odditie | it has absolutely nothing in it | 02:27 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: open a terminal... | 02:28 |
| Denise | I had that problem again | 02:28 |
| Denise | with konversation | 02:28 |
| Starnestommy | dasdajs: in what way is it not working? | 02:28 |
| dash9 | odditie: try system - preferences - screen resolution | 02:28 |
| salaz | dr_Willis: how many tv channels can i get from mythtv? | 02:28 |
| dasdajs | Starnestommy I think the port is not opened, 2secs | 02:28 |
| Denise | opening querries by itself | 02:28 |
| dr_Willis | shocm, check the !pulse factoid and the pulseaudio docs.. its progress | 02:28 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, depends on your tuner. | 02:28 |
| odditie | dash9: only goes to 1024 x X, that is too small for my liking | 02:29 |
| Denise | mythtv | 02:29 |
| odditie | ScheissDrogen: opened | 02:29 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.confsave | 02:29 |
| salaz | dr_Willis:i'm gonna need a tuner? tv card or external tv u say? | 02:29 |
| Denise | close the window | 02:29 |
| dasdajs | how can I test if the port is open? | 02:29 |
| Denise | or beter clean the pidgin | 02:29 |
| Denise | ? | 02:30 |
| dr_Willis | salaz, go check its homepage/docs.. you obiously need a tuner to tune in shows... you could record video in if you have some way to do that.. it does more then just record tv. | 02:30 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: if probs occur, can copy it back (using live or cli) | 02:30 |
| salaz | dr_Willis: ok tq | 02:30 |

| Debolaz | timothy007: Kopete only supports video for MSN and Yahoo afaik? | 02:59 |
| McAfee17 | sup hizoes? | 02:59 |
| ScheissDrogen | echostorm: more advice ? | 02:59 |
| dstrbdfrk | is it pretty easy to use timothy007?? | 02:59 |
| echostorm | well, the carefull thing sounds scary, so more advice would be usefull yes :)) | 02:59 |
| timothy007 | Debolaz: your most likely correct, I don't use it for that | 03:00 |
| Nutt718 | hello, Is there ever a need to defrag a HD using UBUNTU? If so, how? | 03:00 |
| dres | echostorm: best think to do is "touch /forcefsck" ande reboot | 03:00 |
| dstrbdfrk | i used to use aries but i switched to ubuntu and it dont offer it | 03:00 |
| McAfee17 | hello, i iz bored, whats up? | 03:00 |
| DramaLlama | how do I figure out why my OS is reporting the wrong partition size after I ran gparted? | 03:00 |
| timothy007 | dstrbdfrk: azureus is quite easy to use... | 03:00 |
| xim__ | is there a way to stop all servers (apache, mysql, php) on my ubuntu desktop at once or do I have to figure out the commands for each one | 03:00 |
| timothy007 | dstrbdfrk: and very powerful | 03:00 |
| echostorm | if you dont like azureus, may i sufggest deluge? its in the software channel | 03:01 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop can u find something good? :) | 03:01 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: sudo iptables -F | 03:01 |
| usser | Nutt718, theres no need for defrag, i believe its done automatically/incrementaly with every file operation | 03:01 |
| dres | DramaLlama: where is the partition size being reported? | 03:01 |
| eko1 | dres: returned 'operation not permitted' | 03:01 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: that was good timing | 03:01 |
| ScheissDrogen | echostorm: don't run this cmd on a mounted filesystem, but use a live cd, unmount disk first, then sudo e2fsck (see also man fsck), and don't run it if no errors of hd are occured | 03:01 |
| dasdajs | hehe | 03:01 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop i've done that | 03:01 |
| Nutt718 | usser, thanks\ | 03:01 |
| === Justin_ is now known as W8JKC | ||
| echostorm | ok i will do that :) thank you very much for the advice there | 03:01 |
| dres | eko1: using sudo? is this on an nfs mounted filesystem? | 03:01 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: once doing that there is no rules in iptables... | 03:01 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop okay | 03:01 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop but port 113 is still refused | 03:02 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: are you trying to scan your ports from a remote computer? if so check that your router is forwarding the correct port to your comp | 03:02 |
| ScheissDrogen | echostorm:other to win a (slighty) chance to get more probs, check your fsatb for uuids | 03:02 |

| mrtech2122 | ? | 03:04 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: try adding this to iptables "iptables -A INPUT -i eth2 -p tcp --dport 113 -j ACCEPT" | 03:04 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: without the quotes | 03:04 |
| dekushrub | i was playing a dvd in totem and all of a sudden the colors inverted, does anyone know the solution? | 03:04 |
| cpierce | lol my ping isn't up to date i won't be able to ping efficiently | 03:04 |
| ScheissDrogen | mrtech2122: only one drive in pc ? | 03:04 |
| Predom[Working] | zcat[1]: First tiem for everything :P Do you know if that versio is around? | 03:04 |
| mrtech2122 | is that a package | 03:04 |
| eko1 | dres: redid it with sudo, seemed to work but then i was still denied permission for the first command | 03:04 |
| mrtech2122 | 2 | 03:04 |
| Predom[Working] | ScheissDrogen: Yeah. ping | 03:04 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop done that and change eth2 to eth0 | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | dekushrub: play them in vlc? I find that better cos it does dvd menus and stuff.. | 03:04 |
| timothy007 | dekushrub: use vlc media player | 03:05 |
| pierrelux | mrtech2122: gparted is nice program with a GUI | 03:05 |
| eko1 | dres: i'm on a fresh install from windows vista so maybe my hdd is ntfs still... | 03:05 |
| cpierce | Predom[Working]: i just installed latest version nad updated i'm booting my laptop right now | 03:05 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: did it work? | 03:05 |
| ScheissDrogen | Predom[Working]: the ping command is in a standard installation | 03:05 |
| zcat[1] | Predom[Working]: no idea. but I keep my lappy pretty up to date. hang on | 03:05 |
| unop | cpierce, what version of iputils-ping do you have on your system? | 03:05 |
| dekushrub | timothy007, it was working fine in totem and the colors just changed, i'd rather fix the problem than install more software | 03:05 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop "localhost [127.0.0.1] 113 (auth) : Connection refused" and "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" | 03:05 |
| mrtech2122 | ok ill try | 03:05 |
| Predom[Working] | ScheissDrogen: I know :) | 03:05 |
| Predom[Working] | zcat[1]: Thanks | 03:05 |
| pierrelux | mrtech2122: otherwise, you can use mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 lets say to format this partition | 03:05 |
| cpierce | unop: i'm checking | 03:05 |
| Predom[Working] | cpierce: Thanks :) | 03:05 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop can't it be the host who have closed for connections on port 113? | 03:05 |
| ScheissDrogen | mrtech2122: only one drive in pc ? | 03:05 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: and no other firewalls are running (router, server etc..)? | 03:05 |
| dasdajs | npope-laptop I don't know, I think so, port 6667 is also blocked | 03:06 |
| pygmymath | ahoy guys | 03:06 |
| zcat[1] | nope, no updates that I can see | 03:06 |
| npope-laptop | dasdajs: how can you irc then? | 03:06 |
| dres | eko1: do "cat /proc/mounts" and look for the filesystem you are doing this on. make sure it's "rw" though the chmod shouldn't have worked if it weren't. | 03:06 |
| timothy007 | dekushrub: what version ubuntu and did you check the forums? | 03:06 |
| dasdajs | irc.freenode.net:7000 :) | 03:06 |

| npope-laptop | pygmymath: 500mhz should be comfortable | 03:07 |
| zcat[1] | I'm kinda confused thugh, ping has been basically the same for the last 20 or 30 years.. why the concern? | 03:07 |
| ScheissDrogen | mrtech2122: min 500, better 800 MHZ | 03:08 |

| ScheissDrogen | mrtech2122: ( ScheissDrogen is my nick) can you differ the two drives ? e.g. sda and sdb ? | 03:19 |
| dr_Willis | woli, would look at the bots !mp3 factoid. You may need to install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package for one.. | 03:20 |
| dres | eko1: yea. root (who you became after the sudo) could read the file, but the "< 2.6.24.patch" part is done as your user not root. | 03:20 |

| MXIIA | how can I change my password on server edition | 03:33 |
| unop | ryaxnb, what does this give you? dpkg -S $(which startkde) | 03:33 |
| unop | MXIIA, passwd | 03:33 |
| woli | dr_Willis, it still won't get selected (the MP3 option...) | 03:33 |
| MXIIA | k | 03:33 |
| dr_Willis | woli, not sure what ya need then. It depends on the program you are usign specifically. | 03:33 |
| === EGGU is now known as EGU | ||
| ryaxnb | lemme look unop | 03:33 |
| dr_Willis | woli, check the forums will proberly get a quick answer | 03:34 |
| woli | dr_Willis, sound juicer... | 03:34 |
| ScheissDrogen | woli: your prob ? | 03:34 |
| mrtech2122 | (scheissdrogen)i see the drives in gparted .but the 1 to be formatted it locked | 03:34 |
| woli | dr_Willis, but niether rhythmbox nor banshee let me... | 03:34 |
| dr_Willis | woli, never used it.. may want to check the ubuntu forums for 'sound juicer mp3' | 03:34 |
| xim | how do i stop proftp? in top i can see a process 'proftpd: (accepting connections)' but theres no proftpd in /etc/init.d/ | 03:34 |
| woli | ScheissDrogen, em, i can't rip in MP3 | 03:34 |
| xim | nor in synaptic amazingly | 03:35 |
| woli | dr_Willis, in general, the audio-profiles thing... | 03:35 |
| keverly | oi | 03:35 |
| unop | xim, perhaps it's /etc/init.d/ftpd ? | 03:35 |
| ScheissDrogen | woli: try ruby | 03:35 |
| woli | ScheissDrogen, how? | 03:35 |
| matthew_ | ok...still not working | 03:35 |
| ryaxnb | only ksmserver has this package, unop | 03:35 |
| matthew_ | i enabled the medibuntu repository, and i can't find both of those codecs | 03:35 |
| woli | ScheissDrogen, i downloaded the restricted extras, and the most i could unlock from it was the MP4 format... but still no mp3... | 03:35 |
| unop | ryaxnb, and what version of ksmserver do you have installed. apt-cache policy ksmserver | 03:36 |
| xim | unop: hmm no dice | 03:36 |
| ScheissDrogen | woli: sudo apt get install ruby | 03:36 |
| woli | why is mp3 illegal? my god,.. | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | woli: What application are you trying to play mp3s with? | 03:36 |
| unop | ScheissDrogen, why are you asking him to install ruby? | 03:36 |
| thinkpaduser | woli: are you trying to add the mp3 support to gnome-audio-profiles-properties, then Soundjuicer? | 03:36 |
| ScheissDrogen | unop: for ripping mp3 ?! | 03:36 |
| woli | Jordan_U, i can play them... i just cannot rip a CD in mp3... | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | woli: Do you have lame installed? | 03:37 |
| woli | i don't know... | 03:37 |
| woli | ScheissDrogen, i installed ruby | 03:37 |
| dr_Willis | woli, its tecnically illeagle - because no one has paid the liceneing fee. :) | 03:37 |
| unop | ScheissDrogen, ruby is a programming/scripting language not some mp3 ripper | 03:37 |
| unop | xim, hmm .. perhaps this should find the initscript. dpkg -L proftpd | grep -i init | 03:37 |
| djhash | woli: you might need to recompile the program after you get the lame libraries.. | 03:38 |
| woli | Jordan_U, how do i verify? | 03:38 |
| dr_Willis | woli, its possible theres newer/updated versions of the apps on the medibunti repo with mp3 support. | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | woli: Look in synaptic or just "sudo apt-get install lame" and if it's not installed already it will be :) | 03:38 |
| ScheissDrogen | woli: sudo apt get install sound-juicer , ruby is indeed wrong | 03:38 |
| woli | ok, now i can rip in mp3 with banshee | 03:39 |
| ScheissDrogen | mrtech2122:right click on the partitions, delete... | 03:39 |
| xim | unop: ah ok i figured it out thanks | 03:39 |
| dr_Willis | woli, i tend to use 'grip' to rim my mp3's | 03:39 |
| unop | xim, what was it? | 03:39 |
| unop | dr_Willis, rim? heh .. sounds like uber-speak a sound technician would use :) | 03:40 |
| ScheissDrogen | unop: sound-juicer / ruby-ripper ??? | 03:40 |
| xim | unop: it wasnt even an installed package and i realized it was the portable one im moving over to already running... oops ;p | 03:40 |
| ryaxnb | 3.5.9 UBuntu somethinn, unop | 03:40 |
| woli | dr_Willis, ScheissDrogen, Jordan_U: nevermind... I use banshee always anyway, and now it does let me rip in mp3, so thanks | 03:40 |
| dr_Willis | unop, i had to ripitify the programator to enabalify the mp3ishms | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | woli: np | 03:40 |
| speener | can anyone help? i'm trying to set up my laptop to have virtual screen with another monitor, i know it's possible because i did it on windows, but i can't figure it out on linux | 03:41 |

| patbam | hi, my add/remove programs program is hung. should i xkill it? | 03:41 |
| patbam | (i ask because i was in the process of adding something, and i don't want to bork my packages...) | 03:42 |
| unop | patbam, give it sometime, it might be busy -- but if it has been time, xkill it | 03:42 |
| ScheissDrogen | unop: sound-juicer was the right paketname , util for ripping cd to varoius formats | 03:42 |
| matthew_ | whenever i try to use VLC to load a DVD, it sits for a few seconds, and then it just exits | 03:42 |
| patbam | unop: the little spinny thing has been being spinny for maybe 20 minutes | 03:42 |
| speener | anyone? | 03:43 |
| dr_Willis | spinny thing - ? ya mean the 'spinner' ? :) | 03:43 |
| unop | patbam, hmm, perhaps it is hung .. you can xkill it and resume installing again | 03:43 |
| patbam | unop: k. | 03:43 |
| unop | patbam, but i would suggest using the command line this time | 03:43 |
| unop | patbam, sudo aptitude install | 03:43 |
| ScheissDrogen | matthew_:tried another dvd ? permissions to drive ? in vlc >open media... ? | 03:43 |
| patbam | unop: i would just use pkill but i don't know the name of the app | 03:44 |
| matthew_ | k, k'll try a diff dvd | 03:44 |
| dr_Willis | matthew_, run vlc from a terminal also.. soyou can see any error messages | 03:44 |
| matthew_ | ya, i got an error message | 03:44 |
| therion | Hi, i removed "Trash" from dolphin, how can i repair it? I'm using KDE 4 (sorry for my english) | 03:44 |
| unop | patbam, i'm assuming synaptic. so pkill synaptic perhaps | 03:44 |
| ScheissDrogen | matthew_:which error ? | 03:44 |
| patbam | unop: ok, i did. thanks. | 03:44 |
| matthew_ | well, it says, "libdvdnav: vm: fialed to open/read the DVD | 03:45 |

| ScheissDrogen | matthew_:could you paste your /etc/fstab ? | 03:46 |
| matthew_ | k, where's that? | 03:46 |
| Omlette | Look in the /etc/ folder. | 03:46 |
| speener | oh...and can i set up the monitor with a different resolution? | 03:46 |
| dr_Willis | i normally play dvd's from the dvd iso files. :) vlc can be told to look at /dev/dvd or other /dev/ entries.. or i thinkit can even get pointed to the mounted dvd dirctory | 03:46 |
| therion | Hi, i removed "Trash" from dolphin, how can i repair it? I'm using KDE 4 (sorry for my english) | 03:46 |

| lazukars | It said the installation was complete and to reboot my pc. | 03:59 |
| wols_ | lazukars: then do that. remove the CD too | 03:59 |
| lazukars | When I rebooted the pc it just went right to windows. | 03:59 |
| niuq | eHome_, if that is not the case you can try with your installation cd or a live cd, and get into chroot /mnt/sysimage and try to fix your problems | 03:59 |

| speener | unop: thanx | 04:06 |
| wols_ | eHome_: most likely many files are already deleted/lost on your partition. so I doubt a fsck will help to get a running system. you need to at least reinstall grub, probably more. that's why I said, restore from backup | 04:06 |
| eHome_ | niuq: i got a long long list of errs just now before it finish fsck | 04:06 |
| m8i-f3a-s4a | Bukoy: /msg ubottu etiquette | 04:06 |

| Zopiac | wols_: ls (LS)? | 04:07 |
| eHome_ | ... | 04:07 |
| electro | how would I go about partitioning my 2 disks if I want to install ubuntu on sda1 and put my swap and all of my data on sdb | 04:07 |
| ScheissDrogen | eHome_: never run e2... on a mounted fs, see man e2fsck for repair options | 04:07 |
| unop | Zopiac, yea, elless | 04:07 |
| Zopiac | just making sure | 04:07 |
| wols_ | electro: / on sda and swap and /home on sdb | 04:07 |
| spiritssight | How do I start the fdupes? I have installed it but don't see it in the menu | 04:07 |
| eHome_ | ok. will be back... | 04:08 |
| wols_ | spiritssight: terminal | 04:08 |
| electro | oh ok good, that's what I did | 04:08 |
| unop | spiritssight, it's a command line program | 04:08 |
| spiritssight | thanks very much | 04:08 |
| electro | all of my programs I install will still be installed on sda right? | 04:08 |
| wols_ | electro: yes | 04:08 |
| electro | ok cool, and stuff should run faster because my swap is on the other hard drive | 04:08 |
| wols_ | electro: unlikely | 04:08 |
| electro | what? | 04:09 |
| bpat1182 | nvm with my issue, was using the wrong JRE... was using Ubuntu's instead of Sun's... now it's fixed. | 04:09 |
| wols_ | I said "unlikely" | 04:09 |
| torenhonig | electro: depends on how much ram u have...... how much do you have anyways?? | 04:09 |
| electro | uh.. I have an older machine with only 512mb | 04:09 |
| JustinF_ | can anyone help me with ubuntu server? | 04:10 |
| wols_ | !anyone | JustinF_ | 04:10 |
| ubottu | JustinF_: 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? | 04:10 |
| torenhonig | electro: i dought the os would touch the swap partition | 04:10 |
| unop | electro, unless you are swapping out massive loads .. a different physical harddrive for your swap partition isn't going to give you noticeable advantages | 04:10 |
| ryaxnb | all right new problem | 04:10 |
| electro | oh ok | 04:10 |
| unop | electro, but good idea nonetheless | 04:10 |
| electro | thanks for the help | 04:10 |
| ryaxnb | the server won't quit on displays :2, :1 :3 and :4 | 04:11 |
| dr_Willis | electro, or in the old days.. of slow slow hard drives.. and low low ram.. :) it helped.. a little | 04:11 |
| unop | ryaxnb, killall xinit ? | 04:11 |
| ryaxnb | any ideas | 04:11 |
| ryaxnb | tried that | 04:11 |
| wols_ | ryaxnb: you have 4 X servers running? on a server? | 04:11 |
| unop | ryaxnb, and what does killall say? | 04:11 |
| ryaxnb | In xnests | 04:11 |
| JustinF_ | Does anybody have time to help mentor me into linux/ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| dr_Willis | electro, i tend to keep a little 512mb swap partition on all my hard drives.. just in case i need to boot a live cd | 04:11 |
| ryaxnb | and i killled the xnest but the server apaparently lives on... | 04:11 |
| electro | is the gnome desktop a little too demanding to run on a system with only 512 ram? | 04:11 |
| wols_ | JustinF_: wrong place to ask. do you have a ubuntu support question? | 04:12 |
| ryaxnb | and anyway it says no process found | 04:12 |
| Zopiac | electro: probably a little | 04:12 |
| wols_ | ryaxnb: ps aux |grep X | 04:12 |
| torenhonig | electro: i wouldnt think so | 04:12 |
| Zopiac | electro: Xubuntu should be ok tho | 04:12 |
| wols_ | ryaxnb: sudo ps aux|grep X | 04:12 |
| ryaxnb | I run GNOME on 512 and I'm demanding of my system. It works alright | 04:12 |
| Zopiac | wols_: when i typed "ls /etc/init.d/gdm" all it did was repeat that, in green :\ | 04:12 |
| wols_ | Zopiac: ls -al /etc/rc2.d/S*gdm | 04:13 |
| Zopiac | wols_: you keep changing it? | 04:13 |
| JustinF_ | wols_ where should i ask that? | 04:13 |
| wols_ | Zopiac: no | 04:13 |
| unop | Zopiac, what are you trying to do ? | 04:13 |
| wols_ | JustinF_: nowhere. buy a book | 04:13 |
| dr_Willis | !training | JustinF_ | 04:13 |

| Zopiac | im trying to get GUI at startup of login screen, not a CLI | 04:13 |
| JustinF_ | !training | 04:14 |

| ryaxnb | I run NXserver so NX is expected... | 04:14 |
| rockwellgump | is there a way to extend my display to another monitor? | 04:14 |
| wols_ | ryaxnb: what makes you sure anything is running on :1, :2 etc (and what happened to :0) | 04:14 |

| unop | Zopiac, run this command then. sudo update-rc.d foobar defaults | 04:14 |

| gaintsura | does anyone know if there is an RSS Feed screenlet for gnome screenlets that allow multiple feeds? | 04:15 |
| JustinF_ | oh thank you | 04:15 |
| speener | wols_: that link the ubuntob or whatever gave me doesn't work at all... | 04:15 |

| dr_Willis | JustinF_, that book at that url is a little out of date.. but its so 'basic' that most of it still applies. | 04:16 |
| unop | Zopiac, you want the GDM to start up when you boot the machine? | 04:16 |
| Zopiac | ya | 04:16 |
| unop | Zopiac, sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults | 04:16 |
| Zopiac | tried it | 04:16 |
| Bukoy | what url has troubleshooting guides i can look at for a problem with my ubuntu desktop? | 04:16 |
| unop | Zopiac, now reboot or just start the GDM | 04:17 |
| Rakeer | how do I return a package version? | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | Bukoy: whats the problem? | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | Rakeer: try using synaptic | 04:17 |

| geremy | is there a quick way to know what .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives corresponds to a given package? | 04:18 |
| Wicked | hello all | 04:18 |
| Wicked | i just lost a hard drive and i want to know what ive lost. when i use locate it still shows some of the stuff | 04:18 |
| wols_ | geremy: there are no .debs in that directory | 04:19 |
| Wicked | how can i a: back up that db. and b: dump that db to a txt file | 04:19 |
| Wicked | so i know what ive lost | 04:19 |
| l3d | ok I should have took the time to read the error better oh and log out and back in now thw virtualbox works fine ty | 04:19 |
| unop | geremy, a .deb file is off this format $packagename-$version-$architecture.deb | 04:19 |
| wols_ | Wicked: updatedb runs 6:20am each morning to update the locaddb | 04:19 |
| Wicked | time is kinda ticking untill it runs again and over writes the db | 04:19 |
| danbhfive | Bukoy: I think there is a way that involves ssh'ing into your machine, and running some stuff, but I'm unfamiliar with all this stuff. Here is a link anyway: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures | 04:19 |
| wols_ | *locatedb | 04:19 |
| Wicked | wols_, where is it stored? | 04:19 |
| Wicked | and can i dump it? | 04:19 |
| wols_ | Wicked: what stored? | 04:19 |
| Wicked | wols_, the database | 04:19 |
| _woli_ | is there any music player that will organize my music, like itunes does? | 04:19 |
| Bukoy | thanks danbhfive | 04:19 |
| wols_ | Wicked: WHICH database? | 04:20 |
| Xcerca | How do i make it so compiz starts when i log in (with gnome), right now i have to do Applications > System Tools > Compiz Fusion Icon ? Then when it comes up i have to press Reload window manager for everything to work | 04:20 |
| geremy | wols_: I believe there are, according to the online docs | 04:20 |
| wols_ | geremy: BS | 04:20 |
| Wicked | wols_, the database updatedb uses. | 04:20 |
| wols_ | geremy: in the directory you named there isn't a single .deb | 04:20 |
| geremy | unop: thx | 04:20 |
| dres | Wicked: "locate '*' > db.dump" | 04:20 |
| Jordan_U | _woli_: Many, Amarok is highly recommended, and I believe banshee has an itunes like interface | 04:20 |
| danbhfive | Wicked: here is a hack. locate * > my_filelisting.txt | 04:20 |
| geremy | wols_: I'm finding plenty, and the docs indicate they should be there. | 04:20 |
| unop | wols_, you probably have the directory cleaned out | 04:20 |
| unop | wols_, with something like apt-get clean | 04:21 |
| wols_ | Wicked: sudo updatedb to update it manually | 04:21 |
| l3d | i was also wondering is there a small systray music player thats simple not all fancy gui and all | 04:21 |
| Wicked | danbhfive, that only outputs a few lines.... | 04:21 |
| wols_ | unop: no. that directory simply has no debs | 04:21 |
| Wicked | wols_, did u not read my question? | 04:21 |
| geremy | unop: can you please confirm that is the correct directory? | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | danbhfive: Wicked That command will give you results you won't expect, try "locate \*" :) | 04:21 |
| danbhfive | Wicked: see what dres said | 04:21 |
| dres | Wicked: try mine | 04:21 |
| wols_ | unop: /var/cache/apt != /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 04:21 |
| unop | wols_, you have a non-standard setup then | 04:21 |
| Wicked | ok awesome | 04:21 |
| Wicked | thanks guys. let me try these | 04:22 |
| wols_ | unop: wrong | 04:22 |
| unop | geremy, it is the correct directory | 04:22 |
| geremy | wols_: I am staring at it. are you running an older version, perhaps? | 04:22 |
| geremy | wols_: or intrepid? | 04:22 |
| Wicked | cuz right now....i have NO idea what i lost...i just know i lost about 500gigs of stuff | 04:22 |
| wols_ | geremy: ls -l /var/cache/apt | 04:22 |
| wols_ | Wicked:where was the disk mounted? | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | danbhfive: Remember that wild cards are expanded by the shell before they get to the program / command so locate * will expand to "locate <all of the files in the current directory>" :) | 04:22 |
| _woli_ | Jordan_U, banshee does have a similar itunes interface, but will not organize my music... | 04:22 |
| geremy | wols_: I get the archives directory etc | 04:22 |
| Balam | horale que no este es el de español o solo que alguien esta contestando en ingles | 04:23 |
| geremy | wols_: no debs | 04:23 |
| Wicked | wols_, yes. it just died. like a hour ago. ive tried everything. | 04:23 |
| Wicked | wols_, it just spins up...clicks...spins down. | 04:23 |
| wols_ | geremy: yes. archives directory is NOT a .deb, is it? I told you already: /var/cache/apt != /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 04:23 |
| wols_ | Wicked: answer my question and don't talk gibberish | 04:23 |
| wols_ | !es | Balam | 04:23 |
| ubottu | Balam: 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. | 04:23 |

| danbhfive | Jordan_U: interesting, thanks, I get it | 04:24 |
| wols_ | unop: do you have .deb files in /var/cache/apt? | 04:24 |
| geremy | wols_: I'm sorry, but you're clearly not understanding. I am staring at this, and it is fact; I am staring at the online docs, and they appear correct. unop confirms. something is wrong on *your* end | 04:24 |
| Wicked | Wicked, do you not read what i type. <Wicked> wols_, yes. | 04:24 |
| wols_ | geremy: ls -l /var/cache/apt | 04:24 |
| unop | wols_, no | 04:24 |
| jigp | hello how to know the users who connect via ssh? | 04:24 |
| unop | wols_, but i do have plenty under archives/ under that directory | 04:24 |
| wols_ | Wicked: "yes" is not an answer to the question "where was the disk mounted", is it? | 04:25 |
| geremy | wols_: I have already done so, and confirmed the correct placements according to the docs | 04:25 |
| bpat1182 | I'm trying to compile subdiversvn for my x64 ubuntu system, and I'm getting this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. What's the issue? GCC passes | 04:25 |
| wols_ | unop: yes, but NOT in /var/cache/apt. | 04:25 |
| outbriber | jigp: run 'pinky' from the command line | 04:25 |
| geremy | wols_: which is under archives | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | danbhfive: One thing that blew my mind a little the first time I saw it is that if you want to list all of the files in your current directory, because of this you can just do "echo *" :) | 04:25 |
| Wicked | wols_, im sorry. i read it as. "was the disk mounted" it was mounted at /External | 04:25 |
| wols_ | geremy: learn to READ | 04:25 |
| unop | wols_, are you ok today? | 04:25 |
| Wicked | and im not getting a full dump using locate | 04:25 |
| wols_ | Wicked: so ALL files with the path beginning with /External are gone. there | 04:25 |
| jigp | thanks outbribber | 04:26 |

| danbhfive | Jordan_U: ahahah, thats pretty funny actually, that it works like that | 04:26 |
| Wicked | wols_, well yes. everything in /External is gone. but this JUST happened. im hoping to get a list of files from locate so i know what i lost. | 04:26 |
| Wicked | i just need to do this before updatedb runs again | 04:26 |
| danbhfive | Jordan_U: thats a great example | 04:26 |
| wols_ | Wicked: Locate External | 04:27 |

| wols_ | Wicked: yes. RUN IT% | 04:28 |

| Jordan_U | Wicked: Be sure to backup /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db before it is overwritten | 04:28 |
| Wicked | Jordan_U, ah ok cool. i did not know where it was stored. backing up now | 04:29 |
| wols_ | it shows ALL files which have the string "External" in its full path | 04:29 |
| Wicked | dres, will run that in 1 sec.... | 04:29 |

| zcat[1] | OK, two weird things that don't happen when I boot the ubuntu live CD.. my laptop won't recognise and USB mice unless I plug them in before I boot, and I can't use an external screen, everything works file until I log in and then it locks up hard, total freeze and only poweroff will get it back. | 04:29 |
| wols_ | Wicked: sudo locate External possibly if it's a permission issue | 04:29 |
| spiritssight | is there a way to tell fdupes to del and just keep the one of each of the dups | 04:30 |
| Wicked | wols_, i did it as root | 04:30 |
| wols_ | Xcerca: sudo fdisk -l | 04:30 |
| Wicked | dres, invalid options -# | 04:30 |

| Xcerca | wols_ thanks | 04:30 |
| zcat[1] | If I boot off the live CD, USB mice hotplug like they should, and the external SVGA works just fine. | 04:30 |
| zcat[1] | any idea where I should even start looking for an answer about this? | 04:30 |
| dres | Wicked: hmm. look at "man locate" and look for an option for non-existing or to disable existence checks. | 04:30 |
| Wicked | i see -e, --existing | 04:31 |
| Wicked | Print only entries that refer to files existing at the time locate is run. | 04:31 |

| rdehler_ | any idea? | 04:40 |
| FAJALOU | what is the printer? | 04:40 |
| rdehler_ | hp laserjet 4000 | 04:40 |
| dr_Willis | I thought cups worked with samba. | 04:41 |
| * rdehler_ shrugs | 04:41 | |
| dr_Willis | The printer is on the linux box being shared to a xp machine? | 04:41 |
| FAJALOU | rdehler_: system>administration>printin | 04:42 |
| rdehler_ | dr_Willis: yes | 04:42 |
| buffer | Anyone know a dock-type program for RSS feeds? | 04:43 |
| buffer | that will notify you when a feed has a new item, etc | 04:43 |
| rdehler_ | FAJALOU: what about it...? | 04:43 |
| Derander | buffer: for a specific dock? | 04:43 |
| dr_Willis | rdehler_, you did install the samba pacakges and enabled the printer shares in the smb.conf ? (not sure if they are enabled by default) | 04:43 |
| buffer | I use XFCE.. | 04:43 |
| FAJALOU | o you want to see it on the xp machine,,, it's working on ubuntu? | 04:43 |
| rdehler_ | i see the printer from the xp box, it just won't auto-install drivers as it usually does | 04:44 |
| rdehler_ | correct FAJALOU | 04:44 |
| rdehler_ | it works on ubuntu | 04:44 |
| FAJALOU | sorry i was thinking the other way around... | 04:44 |

| odditie | it is a .run | 04:46 |

| ScheissDrogen | odditie: open a ter,inal... | 04:47 |
| ScheissDrogen | terminal | 04:47 |
| Cocoabean | odditie waht card do you have | 04:47 |
| rdehler_ | /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86/ is empty, and that's where smb.conf is looking for drivers | 04:47 |
| odditie | Jordan, the driver through the admin panel won't work | 04:47 |
| odditie | Ok scheiss | 04:48 |
| rdehler_ | dr_Willis: yea it lets me, but i don't want to have to do that for X hosts that use my network | 04:48 |
| odditie | Cocoabean: geforce 8800 GT | 04:48 |
| rdehler_ | so i guess my question is how do i populate /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86/, is there a package? | 04:48 |
| Cocoabean | is it part of the legacy drivers odditie | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | rdehler_, ahhhhhhhhhh.. now its making sence.. I recall some doc. that told how to track down the driverfiles from a xp machine and copy them over to the samba server.. but i forget where... | 04:48 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorgconfsave2 | 04:48 |
| rdehler_ | i see | 04:48 |
| odditie | Cocoabean: shouldn't be, its a 8800, its a fairly new card | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | rdehler_, for a start - i would check the 'samba-doc' package. and the 'using samba book' thats in there.. thats the defacto-guide on the topic. :) | 04:49 |
| Cocoabean | odditie, ok, nvm, ive only tried with the legacy drivers, never got it to work so i just gave up, GeForce2 MX440 | 04:49 |
| rdehler_ | will do thx | 04:49 |
| odditie | ScheissDrogen: Alright, no errors this time | 04:49 |
| dr_Willis | rdehler_, i recall the basics was you isntalled the printer on ONE machine.. then ya looked somewhere.. and copied the files over to the samba server from some location | 04:49 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: sudo cp /home/<ur_username>/Desktop/<filenameBLA.run /usr/src | 04:50 |
| dr_Willis | rdehler_, of course now a days.. it seems every printer comes with 129+mb of a setup.exe for its drivers... | 04:50 |
| rdehler_ | makes sense | 04:50 |
| Merther | How do I use grub to boot to a version of linux installed on a usb drive on a system that doesn't support usb booting in the BIOS? | 04:50 |
| odditie | cocoabean: no worries. I have done it on an older machine before, but its been a long time, just made the switch back to Ubuntu today on my machine | 04:50 |
| dr_Willis | Merther, i do not think thats possible.. grub can only see what the bios sees. I belive... | 04:50 |
| Cocoabean | Merther its not possible as far as i kno, ive tried it | 04:51 |
| dr_Willis | Merther, i could be wrong.. the PuppyLinux forums I think had a thread or 2 on this topic.. and possible work arounds | 04:51 |
| odditie | ScheissDrogen: Ok, I think it worked, no errors, just popped up another line to work on | 04:52 |
| Merther | good to know, too bad though. Anyone seen Open BIOS? does that flash the bios and may give the computer the ability to boot to the usb? | 04:52 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: cd /usr/src | 04:52 |
| ScheissDrogen | odditie: ls , can see the driver ? l= small L | 04:52 |
| stan555 | hi guys | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | Merther, i would think it may need more then just a bios update.. also Openbios only works on specific machines last i looked. | 04:53 |
| odditie | yes I can see the driver | 04:53 |
| timothy007 | stan555: Hi! | 04:54 |

| CodeWar | cwill747, you mean for keyboard shortucts? nopes I need a keybinding to enter each of the desktops without cycling thorugh a list | 05:05 |

| banana-phana | I tried the DAAP thing, but it just says "retrieving" forever | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | banana-phana: Newer versions of itunes changed the protocal to be incompatible | 05:07 |
| banana-phana | awww | 05:07 |
| dr_Willis | ckyle, ive seen where the framebuffer causes issues and makes the console unuseable. :( | 05:07 |
| banana-phana | Is there any patches for Rhythmbox for this? | 05:07 |
| dr_Willis | banana-phana, over a samba share? You could mount the share locally with some tools. then it whould appear as a local directory | 05:07 |
| banana-phana | that's what i did. i used ssh | 05:08 |
| dr_Willis | banana-phana, useing the sshfs tool? | 05:08 |
| ckyle | How do I change my ubuntu 8.04 setup, so that instead of launching gnome, it just stays at the command prompt? Need some command that I can reverse easily from the command prompt, as I'm new to gnu/linux. | 05:08 |
| dr_Willis | the gnome connect thing - i thought just sort of browsed the ssh stuff that way. not quite the same as sshfs does it. | 05:08 |
| banana-phana | erm, the one through nautilus, where you click "go to", then type in ssh://username@ipaddress | 05:08 |
| wbmj | CodeWar:If you right click on the workspace applet and chose preferences you can add workspaces......the they will appear in the keyboard shortcut utility | 05:09 |
| odditie | Ok, I fail at Ubuntu. Did what you said, got to a spot where I could type, but nothing would do anything | 05:09 |
| banana-phana | i double click the music file, it opens rhythmbox, tries to load it, then terminates rhythmbox :( | 05:09 |
| dr_Willis | banana-phana, 'sshfs' works by mounting the ssh server to a local directory. that may work much better | 05:09 |
| dr_Willis | !sshfs | 05:09 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs | 05:09 |

| banana-phana | is it the same, only you do "sshfs://username@ipaddress"? | 05:11 |

| Slim0wnzu | i just installed ubuntu on desktop, ubuntu only, and i cant get on the net | 05:13 |

| dr_Willis | the fuse tools are so handy in cases like this. | 05:13 |
| banana-phana | that's what i did. rhythmbox can see the folder | 05:13 |

| Rebecca_work | hey peoples, im trying to use my digital cam with ubuntu. usb connection and appears as a mass storage device on other computers but not this ubuntu heron setup. i had previously uninstalled f-spot because i just want to manage uploading pics myself. how can i get my system to just view it as a mass storage device again? | 05:30 |
| ckyle | how do I modify .bashrc to change the color of the characters in the terminal...? is that possible? | 05:30 |
| nixk490 | its a java game | 05:30 |
| kindofabuzz | oh my bad | 05:30 |
| kindofabuzz | so he leaves | 05:30 |
| banana-phana | Probably a stupid question, but does Amarok play mp3s? Or at least has a patch to play mp3s without much fuss? | 05:30 |
| mooseman447 | what is the easiest way to add iptables rules on boot? | 05:31 |
| outbriber | ckyle: you edit .bashrc in bim. From your home terminal $ vim .bashrc | 05:31 |
| Zopiac | ckyle, yes it is, edit>current profile> | 05:31 |
| ckyle | right... I'm using gedit | 05:31 |

| banana-phana | thanks | 05:32 |
| banana-phana | BTW, what's Ruby? | 05:32 |
| banana-phana | is that an extension? | 05:32 |
| dr_Willis | ruby is a language | 05:33 |
| banana-phana | It says it needs it if it's going to play streaming last.fm | 05:33 |
| kindofabuzz | nixk490, try clearing your profile, then if still crash, try in safe mode, if safe mode works, then your problem is a theme or addon, then if it still crashes, try a new profile | 05:33 |
| banana-phana | Hmmn. | 05:33 |
| dr_Willis | install ruby then.. im suprised its not allready installed. | 05:33 |
| outbriber | ckyle: that is my color scheme. it gives me red and green userhost:~, and then my command goes down on the next line | 05:33 |
| banana-phana | well, it might. i haven't tried yet. i'm still installing amarok. | 05:33 |
| nixk490 | im on a fresh install of firefox | 05:33 |
| Phase | This might sound a bit silly, but I need to figure out which speaker is the "left" speaker, and which is the "right" speaker, whats a nice (small) application that would let me make only one speaker play? Sort of like that left/right feature in winamp.. | 05:33 |
| nixk490 | no addons or editions | 05:34 |
| kindofabuzz | well try what is siad though | 05:34 |
| ckyle | outbriber: cool... but how would you do that with just a "$ " command prompt using your color scheme? thems a lotta characters for me to wrap my brain around. | 05:34 |
| dr_Willis | Theres a 'bash prompt howto' wit all sorts of neat bash prompts. :) | 05:35 |
| Rebecca_work | i just double checked the cam, plugged it into a win box and it appears as a mass storage device. anyone know how to stop it being treated as a camera by ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| maxtothemax | you mean standard digital cam? | 05:36 |
| maxtothemax | does it have removable flashcard? | 05:37 |
| outbriber | ckyle: each set (\[\033[1;31m\]\u) controls a different thing. To have just a $ in read, I think you'd want something like .. PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[1;31m\]' But to tell you the truth, I can't quite remember what each part of it is, I did it a while ago. | 05:37 |
| Rebecca_work | maxtothemax: it's a powershot a710is, uses a SD for storage | 05:37 |

| dr_Willis | Phirax, what is your video card? | 05:52 |
| dr_Willis | Phirax, windows thinking is 'going to the manafactures web site for drivers' :) Linux thinking -> install the stuff from the 'repositories' in a quick easy fashion. | 05:53 |
| Phirax | dr_Willis: its some form of ati mobility | 05:53 |
| dr_Willis | You want to install the fglrx drivers from the hardware manager tool then. | 05:53 |
| dr_Willis | it should of asked to do so when you first booted up to the desktop | 05:53 |
| thosmos | why does elisa not run on my 8.0.4? | 05:54 |

| dr_Willis | thosmos, run it from a terminal - look for errors ? it does run here.. but i cant get it to do much | 05:54 |
| thosmos | dr_Willis: tried the console, nothing | 05:55 |

| maxtothemax | extended means that it's divided up into sub-partitions | 06:09 |
| danbhfive | G1: I dont think it matters. You just have to have some extended since you have more than 4. Also, making /tmp a separate partition? Does that even make sense? | 06:10 |

| thosmos | Rakeer: dunno. Have a sample mkv for me to try? | 06:12 |

| zcat[1] | normally just install the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package via snyaptic or aptitude or however you prefer | 06:13 |

| maxtothemax | but the UI sucks | 06:16 |
| spiritssight | I heard some thing about 16bit and 8 bit | 06:16 |
| acrousey | is there a way for me to access files on my ubuntu machine from my mac (which i'm on right now). I am able to use the wireless from my neighbor in my dorm, but my ubuntu doesn't have wireless hardware. I don't want to surf the net on it tonight, I just want to share files between my ubuntu machine and my mac. But I don't know how without a router. Can anyone help me with that? | 06:16 |
| starscalling | acrousey: yeah | 06:16 |
| spiritssight | what is a good one for UI | 06:16 |
| maxtothemax | gimpshop makes gimp look like photoshop | 06:17 |
| zcat[1] | nothing wrong with the gimp UI, just people learn some other crap first and have to unlearn it | 06:17 |
| naerys | humm, there's no software properties selection as the multiverse install guide mentions | 06:17 |
| starscalling | acrousey: get a spare ethernet cable | 06:17 |
| starscalling | make a cross connect cable | 06:17 |
| starscalling | then give each of them ips from same subnet: 192.168.20.xxx | 06:17 |
| starscalling | for instance | 06:17 |
| acrousey | starscalling: from machine to machine? I'm doing that now | 06:17 |
| starscalling | then you should be able to shell in etc | 06:17 |
| starscalling | scp and what not | 06:17 |
| starscalling | iirc | 06:17 |
| jake_ | I'm seeing alot of threads that say the libraries I need are available via apt-get but it's telling it can't find them. Is there a repository I need to add that I don't know about? | 06:17 |

| Syco54645_AAO | because klogd works fine on the generic ubuntu, but not on the one that i compiled myself | 07:01 |
| meoblast001 | friedtofu: ok.. thanx | 07:01 |
| bobertdos | ekow: I confess to being a little outdated when it comes to this. I have never dual-booted with Vista. I actually wiped my Vista system completely and installed Ubuntu on it alone. Plus, I've also never worked with SATA drives. | 07:02 |

| bullgard4 | What is the function of the Xorg process on my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer? (It consumes 2.3 %CPU according to top, by far the most of all processes.) | 07:03 |
| WhoNeedszzz | aw crap, I just messed up flash | 07:03 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: xorg is what handles your GUI | 07:04 |
| WhoNeedszzz | what's the best way to install flash in ubuntu? | 07:04 |
| unop | bullgard4, it's the X server .. handles your desktop applications | 07:04 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: As well as HID stuff | 07:04 |
| unop | bullgard4, and 2.3% is not so much to be honest. | 07:04 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: In Hardy, probably just through the repos, version 9 revision 124 along with libflashsupport | 07:04 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: Its likely the input stuff is whats causing it to be so high. Every keypress and mouse movement is an interrupt, etc. | 07:04 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: What does 'HID' stand for? | 07:04 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: human interface device | 07:05 |
| Sphero | anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04? | 07:05 |
| unop | bullgard4, things like pointing devices, keyboards, etc | 07:05 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: I do no input: NO key press and no mouse movement. Still Xorg loads the CPU with 2.3% of its time. A static setup does not need to make the CPU work, I would think. | 07:06 |
| naerys | so what sort of options do I have for customizing the Gnome GUI? (or where can I read about it) | 07:06 |
| WhoNeedszzz | err well i got it working for youtube but when I try and watch a news video on wdsu.com it actually crashes firefox | 07:07 |
| naerys | as in, make it look fancier, similar to windows themes | 07:07 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: 9 or 10? | 07:07 |
| ekow | bobertdos: Oh np, thanks for the help anyways, I'll keep trying | 07:07 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: there's still a bit of polling and interprocess communication that goes on, yes. | 07:07 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop: that didnt work, still hung at boot | 07:07 |

| WhoNeedszzz | bobertdos: ah well it seemed to make it 10 by default | 07:08 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop: nope, i disabled the ubuntu splash so when things were saying [ok] klogd just sat there | 07:08 |
| unop | Syco54645_AAO, hmm, does the system boot up into recovery mode? | 07:09 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: If you go into Firefox, what's listed under about:plugins? | 07:09 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop: this is a custom kernel that i am booting. the system will eventually boot once it has timed out | 07:09 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bobertdos: ok i forced version 9 so now it just shows gray boxes | 07:09 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop and then it works fine. i can either disable kernel logging (i dont want to) or fix this issue | 07:10 |
| unop | Syco54645_AAO, errm ok .. do the default kernels boot up ok? | 07:10 |
| Syco54645_AAO | bu ti cannot figure out how to fix | 07:10 |

| deakillo | i really need help.. something wrong is happening to my desktop | 07:11 |
| bobertdos | wolfman3k5: Are you sure you've got the 64-bit version? | 07:11 |
| unop | Syco54645_AAO, have you checked the log files for any indication as to what might be wrong? /var/log/* | 07:11 |
| WhoNeedszzz | deakillo: VAGUE | 07:11 |
| wolfman3k5 | <bobertdos> Absolutely:) | 07:11 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop: yes and i saw nothing out of the ordinary | 07:11 |
| deakillo | its all blue color.. my desktop image disappear and when i try right click.. nothing happens :S | 07:11 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop: i based this kernel off of the linpus install that was on here before. it did not have the klogd running, so i am thinking i missed something when compiling the kernel. | 07:12 |
| bobertdos | wolfman3k5: Hmm, how far do you get? | 07:12 |
| unop | Syco54645_AAO, not sure then, troubleshooting this is beyond my abilities .. I would go back and scrutinise the log files a little harder - apart from that - i'm out of ideas | 07:12 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: What is listed under about:plugins? | 07:13 |
| wolfman3k5 | <bobertdos> After I hit <ENTER> to install ubuntu, I get the Ubuntu Logo, and the bar moves a few times, and then I get a command line and that's it | 07:13 |
| WhoNeedszzz | File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so | 07:13 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 | 07:13 |
| Syco54645_AAO | unop: fair enough. thanks for trying anyways, it was more than anyone else had one :D | 07:13 |
| ckyle | is gksudo safe to use? it doesn't prompt me for a password when I click on it... | 07:13 |
| airtonix | click on it? it s cli cmd | 07:14 |
| bobertdos | wolfman3k5: Is it a regular login prompt? Have you tried logging in as root? | 07:14 |
| airtonix | <- confused | 07:14 |
| nandemonai | What airtonix said. | 07:14 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bobertdos: look up | 07:14 |
| ckyle | I created a link on my desktop to "gksudo nautilus" - just have to double-click on it... no password is asked for... | 07:14 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Ah you're running a 64-bit system, yes? | 07:14 |
| WhoNeedszzz | nope | 07:15 |
| dres | ckyle: have you entered a password in the near past? | 07:15 |
| ckyle | dres: yes | 07:15 |
| deakillo | hi can someone help me.. something very weird its going on with my desktop.. its all blue color.. my desktop image disappear and when i try right click.. nothing happens :S | 07:15 |
| wolfman3k5 | <bobertdos> no, it's actually unussual. I've installed Ubuntu before on a iMac and older systems, and everything went fine. Only on my brand new Workstation this seems to happen. I don't know why I should try to login as root, since I can't get it to install | 07:15 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Well then it's weird that flash would be in the wrapper. | 07:15 |
| nandemonai | Ah that would be why ckyle :) | 07:15 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bobertdos: ok then what is the best way to install it? Clearly I installed a retarded version | 07:16 |
| dres | ckyle: that's why. don't run a sudo for 15 minutes or so and try again. | 07:16 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Did you install it from the repos or did you let Firefox do it itself? | 07:16 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bobertdos: repos. ff won't do it itself for some reason | 07:17 |
| wolfman3k5 | bobertdos could it be that the kernel in Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't support the P45 chipset? | 07:17 |
| ekow | One more question, is there any way to install ubuntu with wubi with more than just 30 gb max? | 07:17 |
| ckyle | nandemonai: is "gksudo nautilus" safe to use if I only use it for a couple of things then close? | 07:17 |
| Flannel | ckyle: Yes, just be extremely careful | 07:17 |
| nandemonai | ckyle, Sure is just yeah be careful what you do. | 07:17 |
| Flannel | dres, ckyle: you can also clear the password cache with "sudo -k" | 07:17 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Purge it, then look at about:plugins again for anything else that looks flash-like. | 07:18 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Go into a terminal and type sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree | 07:18 |

| mamoru_new_here | how to add printer on win xp shared printer? | 07:19 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bobertdos: ok now what? | 07:20 |
| nandemonai | ckyle, could even change your launcher to something like 'gksudo nautilus && sudo -k' to clear password cache for better security if your worried aobut someone reopening the link when your afk etc. | 07:20 |

| asho79 | has anyone had any trouble bluetoothing from a mobile phone to ubuntu? | 07:23 |

So i open up " computer " off my ubuntu bar only to find out i cant find any of the games that where on F:\ drive in | 07:27 |
| Jonny | windows , what am i missing here? | 07:27 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Then I'd try reinstalling flash 9 from the repos, and also include libflashsupport. If that doesn't work, I can walk you through flash 10. | 07:27 |
| Flannel | Jonny: You might have more luck asking in #winehq | 07:27 |
| bobertdos | AaronChen: So what are you wanting to do? | 07:27 |
| Jonny | but say i just wante dto see that drive will all my games on it? i cant find it anywhere | 07:28 |
| susa24 | i have mythbuntu installed and i have a couple of problems i cannot sort out on it | 07:28 |
| hateball | !wine | Jonny | 07:28 |
| ubottu | Jonny: 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. | 07:28 |
| AaronChen | yes , I use rename 's/\[//' ,so the name become like that ....].friends.sx1.rmvb | 07:28 |
| susa24 | Is their a way of inserting a dvd or cd in the drive and automatically copying the contents of the disk to a specific location, and sort them into Video, Music etc..? | 07:29 |
| Jonny | right now the problem isnt trying to run the games in whine its just finding the partition that the games are on | 07:29 |

| odditie | Question: Any way to restart my sound without logging out then back in? | 07:31 |
| bobertdos | AaronChen: Well, graphically, you can just select the files, hit F2 and rename them. | 07:31 |
| bobertdos | odditie: In the terminal -- sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 07:31 |
| AaronChen | bobertdos,but I have about 102 files | 07:32 |
| super6 | ubuntu isn't recognizing my second monitor, how do i fix that? | 07:32 |
| unop | AaronChen, rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//' [.......?..?..?].*.rmvb | 07:32 |
| AaronChen | so much,so I think why are not we use rename | 07:32 |
| bobertdos | AaronChen: True, I believe there are packages in the repos for batch renaming. | 07:33 |
| xim | isnt there some way using grep to search for a particular file by title or content? | 07:33 |
| AaronChen | yes | 07:33 |
| Prathibh | I am getting the following error "An error occured whie adding files to archive" while right-clicking a folder and creating archive | 07:33 |
| unop | AaronChen, actually. rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//' *.rmvb | 07:33 |

| devin | i got a second hdd with windows on it, what do i add in menu.list for ex: (hd1, | 07:36 |
| unop | AaronChen, change the glob to .*.rmvb | 07:36 |
| unop | AaronChen, rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//' .*.rmvb | 07:36 |
| devin | ,0) fdisk shows windows being on /dev/sdb1 | 07:37 |
| xim | sorry i was being kind of vauge, just as a file search type of command by title, or possibly searching for files containing a string | 07:37 |
| AaronChen | unop, I got that | 07:37 |
| xim | or would that take more complex shelscripting | 07:37 |
| Liverbones | Hello, people. | 07:37 |
| bobertdos | WhoNeedszzz: Okay, you can PM me if you want, 'cause this might get messy. | 07:37 |
| unop | xim, i don't get it. doesn't this do that? grep string file | 07:37 |
| unop | xim, or perhaps this? grep string file /dev/null | 07:38 |
| xim | but that searches one file for a string, i mean searching your file system for files with that string | 07:38 |
| unop | xim, do you know where in the system you want to limit searching to? | 07:39 |
| AaronChen | unop,bobertdos: but , the files name like .....?..?..?].frends.xs1.rmvb,not [.......?..?..?].friends.sx1.rmvb | 07:39 |
| unop | xim, grep -R string /path/ | 07:39 |
| xim | i was just curious more theoretically its not a problem at the moment or anything | 07:39 |
| xim | i see though | 07:39 |

| AaronChen | the rename 's/^[.\?\]\[]+//' .*.rmvb became rename 's/^.\?\]\[]+//' .*.rmvb I think it not work now | 07:42 |
| unop | AaronChen, i dunno if you tried the command out -- but see here. http://pastebin.com/d5f2544d3 | 07:42 |
| Liverbones | The top panel only goes to about 768 pixels and won't stretch across the entire screen, all windows snap to the same 768 point, and occasionally windows won't clear their contents outside of the same point. | 07:43 |
| Liverbones | It's interesting. | 07:43 |

| LSD|Ninja | Guest1: is the vista a 64 bit version? | 08:22 |
| Guest1 | yes, ubuntu is 32 | 08:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | Guest1: perfectly normal then. you need a 64 bit version if you want to see the full 4GB in Ubuntu | 08:23 |
| Guest1 | i thought it might be that, but rethinking i know that xp reads 4gb of ram i think | 08:23 |
| Flannel | Kate_Mins: Have you already added the user or not? | 08:23 |
| kallahar | n | 08:23 |
| hateball | Guest1: You could always recompile the kernel with PAE support as well | 08:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | Guest1: only if it, toom is x64 | 08:23 |
| Guest1 | is there a way to fix it? they told me not to install the 64bit version for various reasons... | 08:23 |
| Flannel | Guest1: which reasons? | 08:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | PAE sucks. Either put up with the memory hole or run amd64 | 08:24 |
| Flannel | aye, PAE is one method, but certainly ont idea | 08:24 |
| Guest1 | 32 version being actually faster being that 64bit support is limited if not absent | 08:24 |
| Flannel | not, ideal even. | 08:24 |

| naerys | whats a solid, free, video capture app for Ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | Guest1: Only if you really need that extra GB or so fo RAM. Chances are you don't, so the 32 bit version will be fine | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Kate_Mins: Alright. We'll be using adduser. | 08:25 |
| Guest1 | LSD}Ninj: thats what i though, 3gb are good, also because in the end vista of the 4 i have uses more than 2, ubuntu of the 3 uses less than one... | 08:26 |
| deakillo | my webcam is working now thanks | 08:26 |
| Guest1 | so in the end it is actually better | 08:26 |

| cef | jake_: well.. if gkrellm decies it's going to get info from network-manager (eg: via dbus).. that'd explain it | 08:56 |
| Flannel | Kate_Mins: and then adduser username admin | 08:56 |
| BunTai | im using ubuntu hardy 8.04...can i install beryl in ubuntu? | 08:56 |
| cef | jake_: actually, is dbus working properly? (no idea off the top of my head how to check.. but it seems the logical place to check next) | 08:56 |
| Kate_Mins | Flannel: working :) thanks alot | 08:56 |
| Flannel | BunTai: beryl is old, we use compiz-fusion now, and you've already got it installed. | 08:56 |
| jake_ | cef: I'll have a look | 08:57 |
| Flannel | BunTai: for a configuration manager, install compizconfig-settings-manager or simple-ccsm | 08:57 |
| BunTai | but i dont know how to use is mister Flannel | 08:57 |
| shappie | Its kind of weird Ati driver says it does not match the good kernel version... But as far as i know i got the most recent updates with kernel 2.6.24-19 | 08:57 |
| taishi28012 | vinegaroon: http://dotfiles.org/~x1101/.irssi%2Fconfig is a good example config file. Just change the password and nick sections. | 08:57 |
| Kate_Mins | Flannel: i would like also to install FTP on my server . can you recommend me on good ftp software for ubuntu ? that will be easy to configure from the terminal ? | 08:57 |
| ex0r | hmm | 08:57 |
| BunTai | sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager? | 08:58 |
| BunTai | like that? | 08:58 |
| BunTai | flannel? | 08:58 |
| Flannel | BunTai: yep | 08:58 |
| BunTai | thnx | 08:58 |
| Flannel | Kate_Mins: Actually, I'd recommedn using sftp. It's more secure, and also easier to set up. Assuming you're connected via ssh, it's already set up (unless they've tweaked that as well) | 08:58 |

| BunTai | thanks | 09:00 |

| ckyle | Gh0s7: i don't know, can you? | 09:19 |
| ckyle | ;-) | 09:19 |
| Gh0s7 | i didnt say can | 09:19 |
| Gh0s7 | i said may i | 09:19 |
| Gh0s7 | so anyways | 09:19 |
| ckyle | true | 09:19 |
| ckyle | but who is to say whether you may or not? there're many here. | 09:20 |
| Gh0s7 | when i install ubuntu, i need to dual boot, so i already installed vista, so everytime my computer starts, will the grub interface show up so i can choose which partition i want to boot up? | 09:20 |
| Flannel | karname: what error? | 09:20 |
| ckyle | Ghos7: yep... | 09:21 |
| Gh0s7 | aight nice | 09:21 |

| Gh0s7 | thas all | 09:21 |
| Gh0s7 | i have slack | 09:21 |
| Gh0s7 | but it uses LILO | 09:21 |
| Gh0s7 | so i didnt know if they worked the same or w.e | 09:21 |
| Gh0s7 | but thanks | 09:21 |
| Gh0s7 | so pce | 09:21 |
| Circs | I have an odd thing happening sometimes on widow resizing my windows oscillate wildly between sticking and not sticking. | 09:21 |
| ckyle | just don't install Vista again... it doesn't play nice... then you have to go learn things about GRUB | 09:21 |
| ckyle | Gh0s7: so I don't have problems, i have ubuntu on one drive and Vista on a second drive. That way if I need to re-install Vista, or something, I don't hose my Ubuntu... | 09:23 |

| Kate_Mins | does sftp has upload limit ? | 09:30 |
| Seveas | dooglus, slightly more info please. Wired or wireless? link or no link? static or dhcp? dhcp failed? routes missing? gateway pingable? | 09:30 |
| shukty | hi how can i set to a samba user privileges ex. read but cannot write to a shared folder tnx | 09:30 |
| dooglus | Seveas: both wired and wireless are broken now, but differently. wireless fails completely, and wired fails after 100 bytes of transfer or so. I'll boot into ubuntu to check the exact error. | 09:30 |
| Seveas | Kate_Mins, the 'sftp' command does not have an option to limit transfer rate | 09:31 |
| dooglus | Seveas: ah, I remember the problem - no wireless adaptor shows up when I 'iwconfig', whereas it used to | 09:31 |
| Seveas | dooglus, 'fails completely' would be 'associating with accesspoint fails'? or 'scanning fails'? | 09:31 |
| Seveas | dooglus, ah, broadcom chipset? | 09:32 |
| dooglus | Seveas: no, 3945? | 09:32 |
| dooglus | ipw3945 maybe? | 09:32 |
| Seveas | dooglus, it looks like the kernel got upgraded without l-r-m. Once wired works again, install the 'linux' package | 09:32 |
| dooglus | Seveas: rebooting now - soon I'll be able to give you proper details. getting wired to work isn't necessary - I have flash cards I can transfer .deb files with | 09:33 |
| dooglus | Seveas: the wire's not convenient to plug in anyway | 09:33 |

| Seveas | Omar87, amarok is a kde application though, #kubuntu people might know more (I for sure don't know the answer) | 09:37 |
| dooglus | Seveas: are there any kernel versions to avoid? I have 2.6.24-19 through 2.6.20-16 | 09:38 |
| Seveas | dooglus, they all worked fine for me with an 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) | 09:38 |
| dooglus | ok, I'll just use the newest I have then | 09:38 |
| Seveas | dooglus, but go for the most recent and delete all kernels that are not 2.6.24 | 09:38 |

| dooglus | Seveas: if I 'ESC' out of it now, will it check again next time I boot? | 09:40 |
| Seveas | dooglus, iirc yes | 09:40 |
| Seveas | Happy, apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client-5.0 | 09:40 |
| dooglus | Happy: something like "sudo apt-get install -reinstall mysql" perhaps? | 09:40 |
| Happy | i wrongly deleted mysql.user | 09:40 |
| dr_willis | Happy, with the synaptic package manager.. why do you think remove/reinstalling it will help? use the PURGE option if you want to remvoe all configs also | 09:40 |
| Happy | ok | 09:41 |
| bullgard4 | How to test if XGL is running or not? | 09:41 |
| Seveas | Happy, ah, in that case it's probably best to purge (apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0) and remove the /var/lib/mysql directory after backing up files that belong to databases you want to keep | 09:41 |
| Happy | Seveas: actually i only damaged /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.* | 09:42 |
| Happy | Seveas: i remember there is a way to install mysql default tables ? forgot what it is. | 09:42 |
| Seveas | Happy, I'm not entirely sure but if you delete the /var/lib/mysql/mysql folder and restart mysql, it might just recreate those. | 09:42 |
| Seveas | Happy, but please stop mysql now and back up /var/lib/mysql | 09:43 |
| Happy | Seveas: ok. i try ... | 09:43 |
| Seveas | to avoid further damage :) | 09:43 |

| euthymos | Seveas: the same? vino? and does it have a Win/Mac version? | 09:47 |

| Seveas | euthymos, vnc-viewer (old) or vinagre( shiny and new) | 09:47 |
| dooglus | Seveas: how can I tell which interface the data is going on? | 09:47 |
| Seveas | euthymos, any vnc client should be able to connect to vino | 09:47 |
| Seveas | dooglus, iptraf, tcpdump or bwm. bwm is best for this purpose | 09:47 |
| Seveas | apt-get install bwm :) | 09:47 |
| dooglus | Seveas: oh, I see the 'RX bytes' in the ifconfig output - it's showing me that the wlan0 interface has RX's 138.2MB | 09:47 |
| dooglus | hmmm, so it's the wireless that magically fixed itself, not the wired | 09:48 |
| euthymos | Seveas: I was searching for a free, open source, interoperable VNC clien | 09:48 |
| dooglus | Seveas: wired is still stuck at "RX bytes 12241" | 09:48 |

| Seveas | dooglus, looks like wireless is working then. examine the output of ifconfig and route to confirm | 09:48 |
| Seveas | dooglus, route -n should say which interfaces are being used | 09:49 |

| Seveas | dr_willis, is there a mac implementation of .net? | 09:52 |
| cernex | I have no idea of how to do it, and I can't finish installing Azureus if I don't configure that first | 09:52 |
| shankhs | Seveas : i dont think so.. | 09:52 |

| Seveas | ah, vista. Lovely os. | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | Seveas, yep.. been 'reinstalling' all day. | 09:54 |
| CoolCubix | cernex, the only thing you have to do in Azureus is to choose a port. You'll have to open this port on your router then | 09:54 |
| cernex | CoolCubix, and how do I open the port in the reuter? | 09:54 |
| salmon_ | question: ventrillo in wine, is that possible. i can get it to run but when i try to talk it gives me an error message telling me i have an invalid mux set?\ | 09:54 |
| cernex | CoolCubix, I'm already on my homeportal, BTW | 09:54 |
| cernex | (It's a 2WIRE modem) | 09:54 |
| CoolCubix | what is the local ip address of your router ? | 09:54 |
| shukty | I NEED TO KNOW IF SOME1 can help me to set privileges to a workgroup of samba users | 09:55 |
| cernex | CoolCubix, don't worry about it, I'm already on the homeportal | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | shukty, I dont know the specifics.. but the 'using samba book' in the samba doc package Im sure covers the proper settings in the smb.conf file for that. | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:55 |
| === yacc__ is now known as yacc | ||
| CoolCubix | okay, so you'll have to enter your router's settings and go to the page where you can "open" (or "route") ports | 09:56 |
| cernex | ok | 09:56 |
| === zerwas_ is now known as zerwas | ||
| ActionParsnip | shukty: i can give you mine if you want, its not complicated. If you websearch round you can find some easy howtos | 09:56 |
| CoolCubix | obviously, it must be the same port than the one you entered in azureus | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolCubix: its sometimes called virtual server | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolCubix: (is on my old dlink pos) | 09:59 |
| shankhs | this is a novice question: How to share and then do a remote connection to a ubuntu 8.04 desktop using windows xp desktop | 10:00 |
| Seveas | shankhs, on the ubuntu machine: system -> prefs -> remote desktop | 10:00 |
| Seveas | shankhs, and on the windows machine you install a vnc client | 10:00 |
| henux | A question: Can have my user account to run 'shutdown' or 'poweroff' without having to use sudo, and is this a bad idea to do ? | 10:00 |
| henux | *Can I... | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | shankhs | 10:01 |
| ubottu | shankhs: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | henux, yes thats doable... | 10:01 |
| shankhs | seveas : thanx | 10:01 |
| henux | *How can I | 10:01 |
| Seveas | henux, you can't. You can set up sudo not to ask for a password to do it. | 10:01 |
| CoolCubix | Does someone know what I should do to enable encrypted DVD reading, apart from installing libdvdcss ? | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | henux, proper way would be to set up sudoers where the users can do it without a password.. but ya still gotta use sudo | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | henux: id leave them having to do sudo personally but you can tweak your system to allow users to reboot | 10:01 |
| Seveas | CoolCubix, put a dvd in the dvd drive :) | 10:01 |
| henux | k | 10:01 |
| cernex | CoolCubix, hey, just fixed it! Thanks! | 10:01 |
| CoolCubix | cernex, you're welcome :) | 10:02 |
| henux | Why I am asking this is because I am using Fluxbox and I would like to have a 'Shutdown' menu entry which calls 'poweroff' | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | henux, the 'bad' way would be to 'chmod +s ' the shutdown or poweroff command.. but then ANY USER can shut the machine down | 10:02 |
| CoolCubix | Seveas, i'd be glad it would be the answer :) | 10:02 |
| * ActionParsnip applauds CoolCubix and cernex | 10:02 | |
| dr_willis | henux, setting the 'suid' bit that way is considered very bad practice. | 10:02 |
| cernex | Eeeeh... thanks, I guess? :P | 10:02 |
| henux | Ok, how can I then add poweroff to my Fluxbox menu? | 10:02 |
| shankhs | do i have to configure vnc in windows to remote desktop my ubuntu | 10:02 |
| shankhs | ? | 10:02 |
| cernex | lol | 10:03 |
| CoolCubix | No, really, i'm getting "end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 218060" (this last number changes) every time I want to play a chapter of the DVD | 10:03 |
| Seveas | shankhs, you have to tell vnc in windows where to connect to :) (ip address of the ubuntu machine) | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | henux, the 'best' way would be to make a menu entry that does the 'sudo poweroff' and set up no password needed for sudo for that command. and make a menu item that does it.. | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | shankhs: yes, you need to point it at the ip of the linux box | 10:03 |
| === tm_work is now known as themoler | ||
| henux | dr_willis: okay how can i setup sudo not to ask pwd when poweroffing? | 10:03 |
| CoolCubix | The only one working is the introduction (with the legal warning) and the menu ; as soon as i click on something in the menu, it crashes | 10:03 |
| CoolCubix | with other players, it doesn't even go to the introduction | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | henux, i would read some 'sudo' configfuration guides on that. I dont rember off hand. it will take a setting in the sudoers file and you want to be VERY VERY carefull with that file | 10:04 |
| Seveas | CoolCubix, does it play in a "normal" dvd drive? | 10:04 |
| CoolCubix | and, of course, i can't 'dd' it | 10:04 |
| CoolCubix | Seveas, yes it does | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | henux, earlier today i was on the sudoers homepage. and it has the man page for sudoers in a nicely done html format thats easier to read then the sudoers man page. | 10:05 |
| henux | k | 10:05 |
| CoolCubix | my dvd drive has already wonderfully worked and has dd'd whole DVDs (but, they weren't encrypted) | 10:05 |
| cynicality | Hey, got a question. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | cynicality | 10:09 |
| ubottu | cynicality: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:09 |
| gill | celoue38@hotmail.fr | 10:09 |
| cynicality | i upgraded to hardy heron and it seems as though any media file will not play as long as i have firefox 3.01 open. | 10:10 |
| dooglus | henux: I set something like that up once using the sudoers file. here's what I used: | 10:10 |
| dooglus | # chris can run dchroot as dapper on chrislap without authentication | 10:10 |
| dooglus | chris chrislap = (dapper) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/dchroot | 10:10 |
| Bodsda | im having some wifi probs, after network manager asks for my key, it just sits there trying to connect and fails after a few mins, what can i do?? | 10:10 |
| Seveas | Bodsda, enter the correct key? disable the mac filtering on the AP or allow this mac? | 10:11 |
| dooglus | Seveas: fyi an interrupted 'routing disk check' will re-run on the next boot | 10:11 |
| Seveas | dooglus, k, thanks for confirming :) | 10:12 |
| Bodsda | Seveas, correct key, no mac filtering, and this behaviour is the same even if i turn encryption off | 10:12 |
| cynicality | gah pressed enter before finishing the question so here it goes again. -- i upgraded to hardy heron and it seems as though any media file will not play as long as i have firefox 3.01 open. any idea why? are there any bugs relating to this? | 10:12 |
| dooglus | Seveas: back to the wired problem, it happened again. I'm not sure what triggers it, but it gets into a state where I can still 'ping' through the interface, but can't ssh or http through it | 10:12 |
| dooglus | Seveas: I'm now rebooting into the updated kernel to see if that fixes it | 10:13 |
| Joshooa | Hey I am trying to organize a presentation to hold for free for anyone interested in my community to come and learn about LInux and install it on their computers and get CDs and stuff and if anyone would like to help brainstorm stuff or anything please send me a message | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: helps if you state what country you are in | 10:13 |
| Seveas | cynicality, yes, it's called "flash is an annoying b*tard and pulseaudio breaks" | 10:13 |
| Bodsda | Seveas, any ideas why it wont connect? | 10:14 |
| Seveas | cynicality, to stay in tune with your nick, I'm hoping that this improves in Intrepid since it's broken now... | 10:14 |
| Seveas | Bodsda, nope | 10:14 |
| cynicality | err i'm not talking about flash. i'm talking about avi files, .movs, .mpegs, .mp3, .wavs | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | cynicality: tried a different media player? | 10:14 |
| Seveas | cynicality, that's the "pulseaudio" part :) | 10:14 |
| cynicality | it works when firefox is closed. | 10:14 |
| cynicality | i've tried several media players | 10:15 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: Well I am in the US, but I don't expect to find people close to me, rather, I was seeking advice and ideas about how I should present Ubuntu to MY community, in a classroom environment, cause I don't think that by myself I could set up the best representation of Ubuntu to try and spread it in my community | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cynicality: try a different player or choose alsa as the player | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: then you need to research | 10:15 |
| cynicality | alsa? i'll try to get it from the distro and try again. | 10:15 |
| fluxy | hello. does ubuntu support writing files to bluetooth devices (like mobile phones)? I managed to browse and read but not write :( | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | cynicality: dont forget to select it in sound prefs | 10:16 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: Are you familiar with the meaning of Ubuntu? | 10:16 |
| koshar1 | Joshooa get in contact with a local LUG | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: yes its an african word meaning together | 10:16 |
| Rebecca_work | I can't mount/browse files on my camera with ubuntu: My camera (powershot a710is) is also a USB mass storage device. I uninstalled f-spot because i prefer to manually manage the files on my camera. If i pluged my camera in via USB i got asked if i wanted to upload photos with f-spot but answering yes either no results in nothing happening. It does not mount in /mnt or /media or appear in Places or my desktop. When the cam is plugged into another c | 10:16 |
| Rebecca_work | omputer it works fine as a usb drive. USB thumb drives also work fine on this ubuntu pc. | 10:16 |
| koshar1 | fluxy yes linux has a very good BT stack | 10:16 |
| Bodsda | Seveas, any ideas why it wont connect? | 10:17 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm trying to not do this as a solo project, I am trying to work together with the community here because this isn't just a project for me | 10:17 |
| Bodsda | oops sorry Seveas | 10:17 |
| Bodsda | im having some wifi probs, after network manager asks for my key, it just sits there trying to connect and fails after a few mins, what can i do?? | 10:17 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: And it means a lot more than together | 10:17 |
| fluxy | koshar1: the thing is I am still unable to write files via bluetooth to my mobile phone (using nautilus) - I'm on Hardy | 10:17 |
| cynicality | does alsa only play audo files or does it play video files as well? | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: Ubuntu, pronounced [ùbúntú], is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a traditional African concept | 10:18 |
| koshar1 | Rebecca_work we have exactly the same camera and it mounts fine? | 10:18 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: Cool, you can google search and copy and paste, anyway..... | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: indeed | 10:18 |
| Rebecca_work | koshar1: do you use f-spot? | 10:18 |
| koshar1 | fluxy you need to push them and accept them on the remote device | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: what aspect of ubuntu to you want to highlight | 10:18 |
| koshar1 | Rebecca_work no just drag them out of nautilus | 10:18 |
| Rebecca_work | koshar1: hmmm.. i wonder why mine is failing.. it is the ubuntu eee distro so not entirely standard but pretty damn close.. | 10:19 |
| koshar1 | Rebecca_work check dmesg after plugging the camera in | 10:20 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: I want to show people that there's an alternative to WIndows, and they don't have to use it just cause it came preloaded. But I want to show the differences between them, and why Open Source software is a better choice and to help them get it installed and be able to use it | 10:20 |
| Joshooa | ActionParsnip: Not just, "Here's a CD good luck" | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: its not necessarily better but you can highlight factors which make it a good option | 10:21 |
| Seveas | Joshooa, there are presentations on the wiki. Alternatively, contact a LoCoteam nearby -- they might have some | 10:21 |
| fluxy | koshar1: it allows me to transfer files one by one, by having to select the file then the device, without being able to choose the destination directory on the device. while this works, it is tiresome. i was thinking whether i could write the files directly in nautilus, as i would do for any ordinary directory. (as in windows *sic*) | 10:21 |
| dooglus | Seveas: I like bwm; thanks for that. | 10:21 |
| henux | Ok HMM this is odd... I am now able to run sudo shutdown from terminal without the password, but when I put "[exec] (Poweroff) {sudo shutdown -P now}" into my .fluxbox/menu, it does not work | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: id give them a disk and a pc and help them through it, let them make mistakes | 10:22 |
| Rebecca_work | koshar1: yeah, a couple of lines appear about a new usb device | 10:22 |
| Seveas | henux, 'does not work'? | 10:22 |
| henux | nothing happens | 10:22 |
| koshar1 | fluxy it doesnt work like that , its a different protocol than samba ect | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Joshooa: then let them experience and use what they have made | 10:22 |
| henux | when i click the menu entry | 10:22 |
| Seveas | henux, pastebin your sudoers file | 10:22 |
| dooglus | Seveas: do you know of something similar which keeps a record of cumulative data use? My ISP in the UK has a 3GB per month 'limit' but offers no tools to tell how much you've used | 10:22 |
| henux | ok hold on please | 10:22 |
| Seveas | dooglus, ntop perhaps? | 10:22 |
| fluxy | koshar1: is it something to do with nautilus or with linux itself? | 10:23 |
| koshar1 | Rebecca_work gimme a min and i will check our dmesg if i can find the usb camle :-) | 10:23 |
| henux | http://pastebin.com/d7b837677 | 10:23 |
| henux | and running "sudo shutdown -P now" from CLI works fine without asking me my pwd | 10:24 |
| koshar1 | fluxy its more to do with obex | 10:24 |
| Seveas | henux, make that: sudo /sbin/shutdown | 10:24 |
| Seveas | in the flux menu | 10:24 |
| henux | tried that | 10:24 |
| fluxy | koshar1: ah ok. thx | 10:24 |
| henux | to no avail | 10:24 |
| henux | i will pastebin my flux menu hold on... | 10:24 |
| Seveas | henux, and do 'sudo -k' in the terminal before testing | 10:24 |
| dooglus | Seveas: looks promising, thanks | 10:25 |
| henux | Seveas: what is -k? | 10:25 |
| Rebecca_work | koshar1: [17700.136398] usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 27 | 10:25 |

| Seveas | -k drops all remembered authentications | 10:25 |
| murlidhar | whats the problem? | 10:25 |
| henux | oh | 10:25 |
| dooglus | henux: and test with something other than 'shutdown' too to save time? | 10:25 |

| murlidhar | Seveas: it doesn't have a pre-built package | 10:25 |
| Seveas | henux, you'll want this: henri ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown | 10:26 |
| henux | ok | 10:26 |
| Rebecca_work | koshar1: thanks | 10:26 |
| Seveas | murlidhar, read the link ubotu gave for compiling hints :) | 10:26 |
| murlidhar | Seveas: also i know how to compile it. all i want to know is what is the dependency name in ubuntu . | 10:26 |

| airtonix | ActionParsnip, yes i see in there is the font directive. but changing it to the ttf name or the file name of the font i want doesnt produce the results i want, infact it throws an error saying it cant find the desired font. does conky ignore fonts sotred at ~/.fonts | 10:32 |

| dwidg1 | Hi. I have a directory containing tens of thousands of image files (frames of a video). I want to run Gimp on them using a batch script.

So, I want to distribute these files into sub directories containing perhaps 400 files each. Then, before I run Gimp on a sub directory, I make a backup (I have limited disk space). How does one distribute these | 10:32 |

| airtonix | murlidhar, ja it is. have fun with pipe menus too. i got a weather one here | 10:39 |
| ganes | hello , i have HCL pc of using RTL8168B ethernet card ., the light is glowing but when i put "mii-tool" --- it displays " no mii interface found : eth0 not supported" | 10:39 |
| xnixan | murlidhar, i had just found that you have to enable it in configuration time | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | henux: maybe theres a switch on skype to run minimised | 10:39 |
| murlidhar | xnixan: some javascripts require a run time environment | 10:39 |
| murlidhar | xnixan: hmm | 10:39 |
| henux | ActionParsnip: there was not last time i checked around | 10:39 |
| xnixan | murlidhar, thanks any way | 10:39 |
| henux | at least, not documented | 10:40 |
| murlidhar | airtonix: thanks | 10:40 |
| bullgard4 | How to test if XGL is running or not? | 10:40 |
| dwidg1 | Any ideas? | 10:40 |
| murlidhar | airtonix: is pipemenu same as obmenu? | 10:40 |
| henux | I think you might be able to do what with Qt specifi configs or something | 10:40 |
| deakillo | i want to add some icons.. but how do i know the terminal code? for example i want to add openoffice word processor.. whats the terminal code, how can i know that? also i want to add appfinder.. | 10:40 |
| henux | Linux Skype is implemented with Qt | 10:40 |
| airtonix | murlidhar, pipe menus are the results of other scripts returned to the default menu as sub menus...blah | 10:41 |
| henux | so maybe there is an option of writing some Qt config into my $HOME which gets processed by Qt at Qt Skype startup | 10:41 |
| airtonix | murlidhar, an example of one is, a submenu that retireves results from weather.com | 10:41 |
| airtonix | murlidhar, or one that would give you the gnome-places menu | 10:41 |
| === marko_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| murlidhar | airtonix: so how can i edit the submenus ? | 10:42 |
| airtonix | murlidhar, with any text editor | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | henux: is there a man skype? | 10:42 |

| BigNude | hi, how can I change the which user is root, not only sudo | 11:38 |
| monostone | hal detects my hardware (Logitech G11, QuickCam, G9 Laser Mouse) correctly, how can I use hal instead of xorg.conf to configure this hardware? I've followed the ubuntu how-tos without success, I need someone with experience configuring these devices to tell me what the trick is | 11:38 |
| DIFH-iceroot | BigNude: sudo su? | 11:39 |
| BigNude | sudo su root? | 11:39 |
| DIFH-iceroot | BigNude: you want to be root all the time? | 11:39 |
| airtonix | BigNude, have you read the sudo page on the ubuntu wiki? | 11:39 |
| ganes | erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/m1025b84c please this link | 11:39 |
| tony_ | asho79 > Well, I didn't drop it or anything, if that's what you mean. | 11:40 |
| BigNude | no, I want to change root password, becouse Ill no longer be "root" at that server | 11:40 |
| DIFH-iceroot | BigNude: change root passwort = sudo passwd | 11:40 |
| BigNude | so I want to change pasword and set other user to be able by root | 11:40 |
| DIFH-iceroot | what? | 11:41 |
| asho79 | tony: did your wireless work before you messed around? | 11:41 |
| airtonix | BigNude, yeah simpliest way would be to take yourself out of the admin group or something? | 11:41 |
| BigNude | DIFH-iceroot : but this would only change me "sudo" password | 11:41 |
| tony_ | asho79> Actually, it was out of nowhere. I think I might have flipped the kill switch on the front by accident, but it's just a switch! | 11:41 |
| BigNude | ok, but the other user who is only sudo, cah he become root? | 11:41 |
| tony_ | asho79 > Yes, it was working two nights ago | 11:41 |
| BonezAU | Hi, I have tracked down a problem but not sure how to fix it. I have 2x 22" LCD monitors both connected via DVI, and a fresh Hardy install. I can only get a GUI if I unplug the 2nd monitor. If I leave both plugged in, I get two blank screens and no gnome | 11:41 |
| erUSUL | ganes: i do not see any problem with the device | 11:42 |
| tony_ | asho70 > Feisty was working great and then, out of nowhere, it just wouldn't come back on. Like I said, I might have flicked that switch on the front. | 11:43 |
| ganes | erUSUL, then why i am not able to ping any ip | 11:43 |
| BonezAU | any suggestions? | 11:43 |
| asho79 | tony: does your driver say ¨in use¨ in system>admin>hardware drivers? | 11:45 |
| CyberLazi | hello everybody | 11:46 |
| CyberLazi | got a question about sudo | 11:46 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU video drivers? | 11:46 |
| tony_ | asho79> Hang on, I'll look | 11:46 |
| guido79 | Hi guys, have a little trouble with the gnome panels: when I switch back from resolution 800x600 to 1280x800, the panel icons get displaced, and I don't know how to re-align them, since they won't accept dragging... | 11:46 |
| asho79 | tony: I´m in hardy | 11:46 |
| BonezAU | koshar2, its a fresh install, as in, i took out the cd and rebooted. | 11:47 |
| CyberLazi | "When using sudo, the password is stored by default for 15 minutes. After that time, you will need to enter your password again. " How do i disable this? i want it to ask for a password everytime, not every 15 minutes... is that possible? | 11:47 |
| ugnius | hi, where to get some help with Qt Designer 4.4, installed from backport repos and it segfaults on start | 11:47 |
| tony_ | asho79>It doesn't even appear! | 11:47 |
| airtonix | CyberLazi, you can use the -k switch when using sudo | 11:47 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU IIRC nvidia cards dont support multiple screens with the free driver , | 11:47 |
| CyberLazi | but is it possible to change the default settings? | 11:48 |
| koshar2 | guido79 unlock them | 11:48 |
| asho79 | tony: is your system up to date? | 11:48 |
| airtonix | CyberLazi, the sudo page on ubuntu wiki doesnt tell you how to do this ? | 11:48 |
| guido79 | koshar2 Works ! Thanks !!! | 11:48 |
| BonezAU | koshar2, I would have expected that the default behavior would be to just bring up 1 monitor, like a fresh install of windows... strange that I have to unplug one of the monitors completely? | 11:48 |
| CyberLazi | not in the RootSudo | 11:49 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU i prolly agree but with regard to computers (any OS) i never assume | 11:49 |
| BonezAU | koshar2, ok so I will install the proprietory driver and see what happens | 11:49 |
| tony_ | asho79>No, it's got about 115 updates. I just installed Hardy | 11:50 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU i take it it is a nvidia card? | 11:50 |
| BonezAU | koshar2, yes, 9600GT rev 161 / 512mb | 11:50 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU ok i think the prop drivers will do the trick for you | 11:50 |
| BonezAU | koshar2, do you recommend the ones in the repos or using something like envyng? or the actual nvidia driver? | 11:51 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU plus the nvid gui is a lot easier to config 2 screens than wrestling with the xorg file | 11:51 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU repo | 11:51 |
| BonezAU | koshar2, it says "nvidia_new" ENABLED, NOT IN USE | 11:52 |
| BonezAU | so its installed and enabled but not working? | 11:52 |
| asho79 | tony: for my laptop, wireless didn´t work until I updated hardy. Even a partial update (cancelled part way through to get inside where it was warm), a notification came up that there was a driver update available; and away it went.........easy | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | CyberLazi: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=851828 | 11:52 |
| koshar2 | BonezAU i also found a bug installing the prop drivers via the restricted driver applet, i prefer to install them through apt/synaptic. | 11:53 |
| === waan is now known as Guest59280 | ||
| tony_ | asho79>Well, I'm updating/upgrading now, so I'll give it a shot. | 11:53 |
| koshar2 | you may need to reboot as well to enable after install | 11:54 |

| ActionParsnip | zethero1: id check into it though | 12:25 |
| zethero1 | ActionParsnip: would it come back after a restart? | 12:25 |

| Daisuke_Ido | ah, that's different. | 12:46 |

| BonezAU | wols_, i'd appreciate it if you stopped treating me like a retard, I have been using linux for about 11 years and i've come across thousands of problems which i've been able to solve. This one I have spent about 12 hours in total working on, blowing away my partitions and re-installing numerous times | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | BonezAU: maybe its just too bleeding edge hardware | 13:31 |
| wols_ | BonezAU: then stop acring like one | 13:31 |
| BonezAU | and i'm at the point now where i've been to just about every forum with the word nvidia in it and read most of the threads | 13:31 |

| pal_ | is there any dvd converter in ubuntu | 13:32 |
| BonezAU | ActionParsnip, a lot of threads on forums also say that others have been able to get their cards to work. I have followed their howtos etc but still can not get it to work. The card works fine in Vista. | 13:32 |
| gnorbert | Anybody with an idea, where can I find my vista files? | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BonezAU: thats because drivers in windows are easy | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BonezAU: and very supported | 13:33 |
| wols_ | gnorbert: sudo fdisk -l | 13:33 |

| BonezAU | wols_, if I had errors to give you then I would. Booting up and getting presented with a blank screen is not an error. I have already pastebinned my xorg log file. What more do you want? | 13:36 |

| Oli`` | BonezAU: try the latest (177.70): http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118602 You'll need to download the right bin, kill GDM, run the bin as root then start gdm again. If it doesn't work at first, tell it to scrub your current xorg.conf and create what it thinks is best (it's an option at the end of the install process) | 13:38 |

| wols_ | Kelen: I told you: dpkg.log* | 13:41 |
| sliverchair | wols_: yeah, doing it now | 13:42 |
| Oli`` | wols_: it doesn't mean that. It means that the driver doesn't support the hardware. the repo and even the envy nvidia drivers just don't support some hardware that only the latest betas do.

| Denise | where can I change my password? anybody knows? | 14:46 |
| what_if | snakeacid: in fact some software may not work with 64 bit . flash used to not work for instance | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | monreal: maybe a little sed command line ?? like sed 's/quiet/noresume quiet/' /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:47 |
| monreal | hehe... erUSUL: well the point would be to have this setting stick | 14:48 |
| erUSUL | monreal: check that that gives the sesired result and then change to "sudo sed -i ....." | 14:48 |
| _blitz | snakeacid, the majority of programs available to you can't really even make use of 64 bit tech,. | 14:48 |

| smm289 | things stay fairly clean and organized during the install / uninstall process. no junk tmp files or un-needed lost files to get rid of manually. ubuntu takes care of all that ? | 14:54 |
| smm289 | manually I mean with a clean-up program | 14:55 |
| julian__ | smm289: see deborphan | 14:55 |
| what_if | smm289: it does a fairly good job, the packages you download are saved though, even avter uninstall | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | smm289: mostly. "sudo apt-get clean" from time to time | 14:55 |
| julian__ | smm289: that's for debs. your only other real concerns might be dotfiles in /home/you | 14:55 |
| smm289 | whats a dotfile | 14:55 |
| jrib | smm289: configuration files are kept for your programs (unless you "remove completely" or "purge"). That way if you remove a package and install it again later, it will keep your settings | 14:56 |

| smm289 | here's another question | 14:58 |
| smm289 | I just used Gmount-iso to mount a DVD image, works fine | 14:59 |
| what_if | dandre: what can you not do in ssh that you need remote gui ? | 14:59 |
| smm289 | however for me to get it to work I had to pull the ISO image off of my ubuntu file server and copy it to my desktop | 14:59 |
| smm289 | it would give me a permission error if I tried to mount it directly from the server location | 14:59 |
| smm289 | the iso was placed on the server awhile back when I was using vista | 14:59 |
| dandre | I must access to a graphic application | 15:00 |

| CYberglO | [leo_rockw]: so, could you help me building this script? | 16:25 |
| genius | what_if: partition is some interval on hard drive. mapper driver knows how to mount this space. so mayme there is some programs that allows to mount some particular space as block device manually? | 16:26 |
| what_if | genius: you could either then encrypt the whole 60gb, or encrypt each 1gb file with a different key | 16:26 |

| what_if | genius: oh yeah, very cpu intensive | 16:27 |
| what_if | genius: true the mapper mounts hard drive blocks.. but it reads its information from the partition table | 16:27 |
| CYberglO | [leo_rockw]: i think it's about building a script and putting a link in /etc/rcX.d where X is the level (0-shutdown, 6-reboot). but I have never known about making scripts (either don't know if the script is .py or .sh (I'm noob)). and maybe a randomly variable that would initialize another script to just change the actual splashimage to another randomly one | 16:28 |
| what_if | genius: you could rewrite the mapper to accept manual block ranges i suppose | 16:28 |

| erUSUL | !root | Mrono | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Mrono: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:15 |
| Mrono | uh huh | 17:15 |
| Mrono | till you screw up your account and can't get to sudo | 17:15 |
| Mrono | so, how do you set the root password | 17:15 |
| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: For instance I have to (Every time i login) set the adapter to roaming, then go back into "Network settings" and manually resettup my WPA each time... if i don't do things in that specific order, then it just fails to work | 17:15 |
| erUSUL | Mrono: boot into recovery mode and do passwd or create a new account | 17:16 |

| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: and the profiles don't seem to work to change the settings reliably | 17:16 |
| pygmymath | afk | 17:16 |
| erUSUL | d0c5i5: if you ca not use sudo you can not set a root password so any solution implies booting into rcovery mode | 17:16 |
| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: it's an intel nic, iwl4965 module | 17:17 |
| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: i can use sudo fine, but the adapter seems to require kicking the card around a bit before it responds | 17:17 |
| erUSUL | d0c5i5: i just saying that the wmaster0 iface is harmless if you have other problems that's a different issue | 17:18 |
| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: maybe this is a hit, but the Wireless Networks tool never populates with anything | 17:18 |
| erUSUL | d0c5i5: sorry that msg was for Mrono but he is gone | 17:18 |
| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: ok, got it | 17:18 |
| erUSUL | d0c5i5: the real interface to use is wlan0 | 17:18 |
| d0c5i5 | erUSUL: I was trying the ndiswrapper off of a recommendation from in here a couple days ago | 17:19 |
| Mrono | what's the console command to edit users | 17:19 |
| erUSUL | d0c5i5: you should have both wmaster0 (virtual) and thr real one wlan0 | 17:19 |
| erUSUL | Mrono: what you want to edit? add a new user? | 17:19 |
| erUSUL | Mrono: adduser | 17:19 |

| yacc | Dabbu1, ipmasq usually manages to figure out which devices you want to forward from and to. | 17:53 |
| Dave88LX | OK I tried running the disk checker on it and lots of xxx.xxxxx usb 3-4 device descriptor read/64 error -110 etc messages | 17:53 |
| test27 | is there a application that can restore deleted files on linux | 17:54 |
| Dave88LX | Then went to a (initramfs) prompt | 17:54 |
| Dave88LX | typed 'exit' and it started checking disc integrity, with lots of buffer i/o errors | 17:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | test27: yeah, its called payattention. 1.1 | 17:54 |
| yacc | Dave88LX, sounds like cabling/general USB problems. <= but it can happen also when a disc goes bad, usually the USB controllers are quite bad at coping with faulty discs. | 17:54 |
| yacc | test27, not really. | 17:55 |
| Dave88LX | I'm on a laptop with an internal cd/dvd drive | 17:55 |
| yacc | test27, if you use Gnome or KDE, these usually by default "delete" files by moving them to Trash. | 17:55 |

| Frol | i have a dummy question | 19:14 |
| Chlorate | Prince_jammys: well our problem is that we have to type in a command in the terminal for our usb ports to mount. But each time we reboot we have to type it out, and we want to automate it at boot. If that makes any sense | 19:14 |
| prince_jammys | The_Soup: ok. nothing funny there. what happens when you type this(in the same directory): 'file angelbeta1.png' | 19:14 |
| TaJMoX | Frol: The answer is yes. | 19:14 |
| Frol | may i install an antivirus with ubuntu | 19:14 |
| airtonix | Chlorate, try appending & to the end of any terminal command your wanting to run | 19:14 |
| prince_jammys | Chlorate: ah. | 19:14 |
| IdleOne | !clamav | Frol | 19:14 |

| The_Soup | prince_jammys i know i cant use them as wallpapers or listen the mp3 in rythmbox | 19:16 |
| iMatter | Chlorate, the same exact thing you just tried | 19:16 |
| ScheissDrogen | Ahmed-Alaa: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.original | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | Frol: not true if you are sharing files with a windows machine you might want to scan before sharing them' | 19:16 |
| airtonix | Chlorate, give your commnad a name and put the command you normally run manually in the command field | 19:16 |
| Chlorate | airtonix: I did that! And it didn't work. :\ | 19:16 |
| tckb | got it | 19:16 |
| prince_jammys | The_Soup: as far as i know, the fact that they're owned by root shouldn't matter. | 19:16 |
| pdaous4 | hello, folks; I've got a weird problem that just popped up a week ago. (Using Hardy) In Nautilus, when I double-click on an image, EOG opens up and takes focus normally -- except when the EOG window is the width of the screen, at which point it hides itself behind my Nautilus window. | 19:16 |
| Frol | IdleOne: yeah but the only machine which can be infected is the windows one | 19:16 |
| Mat1 | whenever i open system > administration > login window prefrences the program shuts down right after why is this happening | 19:17 |
| airtonix | Chlorate, is the command a one liner? | 19:17 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | nothing | 19:17 |
| IdleOne | Frol: if that is ok with you then.... | 19:17 |
| fords | sorry for the joins/parts (am troubleshooting using a livecd, and this channel is autojoin). hopefully, this will not happen again. | 19:17 |
| Chlorate | airtonix: Yes. | 19:17 |
| ScheissDrogen | Ahmed-Alaa:done ? sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk && sudo displayconfig-gtk | 19:17 |
| airtonix | Chlorate, can you paste it here please | 19:17 |
| iMatter | airtonix, it is but it needs to be run with root privaleges | 19:17 |

| ScheissDrogen | Ahmed-Alaa: can you find/set your monitor in the GUI ? | 19:18 |
| Frol | IdleOne: i think the person who is on windows has to protect himself | 19:18 |
| The_Soup | prince_jammys yes because the other folders are also owned... | 19:18 |
| mykrobinson1 | had to refresh my connections | 19:18 |

| Ahmed-Alaa | gui ? | 19:18 |
| Mat1 | all i need to do is to be able to logon to a gui root session | 19:18 |
| musikgoat | mykrobinson1: what happened? | 19:18 |

| airtonix | Chlorate, sudo will only prompt you for password if your in the terminal, gksudo does more and makes sure things are setup for x to interact properly with priveldges | 19:19 |
| RyanPrior | Is there an eggtimer type applet for the Gnome panel? | 19:19 |

| pdaous4 | oh, that's interesting... I also encounter this pop-under problem with Firefox windows at fullscreen, but not with Evince. It's pretty variable. | 19:19 |
| iMatter | airtonix, i tried that the gksu prompt doesn't even appear | 19:19 |
| RyanPrior | Ab3L: hello! Welcome to #ubuntu ! | 19:19 |
| hlfshell | So... anytime i play video in ubuntu it blinks a lot. Like itll blink over all the windows, then go black, then jump back to the image. the osund is perfect but the video is very.......useless. anybody have any idea what could be doing this? | 19:19 |
| ScheissDrogen | Ahmed-Alaa: sudo displayconfig-gtk ,can you find/set your monitor in the GUI ? | 19:19 |
| airtonix | Chlorate, you can also put a switch in there so sudo immeaditly forgets your 'sudo session' which normally timesout after 15minutes without any further activity | 19:19 |
| Flannel | Mat1: Why do you need to log in to a GUI with root? | 19:19 |
| Flannel | airtonix, Chlorate: `sudo -k` | 19:20 |
| pdaous4 | hlfshell: what program are you using to view videos? Just the usual totem? | 19:20 |
| ScheissDrogen | hlfshell: using vlc ? | 19:20 |
| musikgoat | mykrobinson1: does it only happen in ubuntu? are you dual booting? | 19:20 |
| airtonix | Flannel, does that also apply to gksudo? | 19:20 |
| IdleOne | Frol: I don't feel like getting into a flame war over what a true OS is. just that Windows does what windows does and Linux does what linux does. both are good and bad at different things. | 19:20 |
| hlfshell | totem now, i also have mplayer and vlc on the computer | 19:20 |
| spsneo | I am not able to use aplay when playing any other music player. Any solution? | 19:20 |

| pdaous4 | hlfshell: do you have the same problem in other video players? | 19:20 |
| Mat1 | im trying to move a file from my home folder to a folder owned by root | 19:20 |
| WhoNeedszz1 | Hello. I'm getting a lot of flash videos having gray boxes where the video would be. But if I restart the browser, sometimes it will fix it. What's up with that? | 19:20 |
| pdaous4 | (besides VVLC, hich doesn't work?) | 19:20 |
| hlfshell | let me open up mplayer - one sec | 19:20 |
| henux | can i access the X window clipboard from the command-line? can i build a script that runs firefox with a URL taken from the current contents of the clipboard? | 19:21 |
| Flannel | airtonix: I believe you just alt-f2 and then sudo -k, but I can't test that. Perhaps you could? you might have to gksu -k | 19:21 |

| airtonix | Chlorate, if the gksu isnt being presented when your using that sessions interface to auto start your script, then you may have to look into using runlevels | 19:22 |
| RyanPrior | bonez45: In that case, I suggest using the Ogle DVD player. It's much better than stock Totem. | 19:22 |

| Mat1 | yes a single file | 19:24 |
| airtonix | Chlorate, or i think you can create a rc file in your home folder that will run commands in it when your desktop loads | 19:24 |
| wolfman3k5 | <RyanPrior> there is nothing wrong with my hardware, and I tested it. I build computers for a living. Plus, openSUSE and Fedora work fine, but I don't like neither of those. I would like to use Ubuntu on my system | 19:24 |

| Mat1 | heres the path to it: /home/champ/Documents/cgihttpserver.py | 19:25 |
| pdaous4 | spsneo: for now, though, you can put it into the 'Device' section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. | 19:25 |

| Chlorate | iMatter: You serious? Oh god. I'm so sorry. I hope we get this fixed. | 19:26 |

| dennis_ | since that action | 19:28 |
| dannyboy20 | any specific model? | 19:28 |
| unop | Mat1, hmm, that's an odd directory -- but you need sudo | 19:28 |
| dennis_ | and i didnt backed up | 19:28 |
| RyanPrior | wolfman3k5: Try booting the LiveCD desktop - if it boots successfully, you can start the installer from there. | 19:28 |
| iMatter | Chlorate, it takes around 20+ mins to put 1GB onto the thing | 19:28 |
| Mat1 | know well the path to the folder in witch the file must go in is /cgihome/server | 19:28 |
| pdaous4 | soooo... anybody know why windows are coming up behind my Nautilus windows, rather than acquiring focus and coming to the front like they should?

| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : gksudo bum | 19:29 |
| wolfman3k5 | <RyanPrior> ok. googled my mobo and ubuntu, and others are having similar problems. It's a kernel thing. Any way I can swap out the kernel for another one? | 19:29 |
| mykrobinson1 | dammit... its doing it more frequently now.. | 19:29 |
| Mat1 | then what | 19:29 |
| wolfman3k5 | like from Intrepid? | 19:29 |
| mykrobinson1 | can anyone recommend a good usb wifi? | 19:29 |
| Chlorate | airtonix, iMatter: What's that? | 19:29 |
| ncfi1013_ | what i want to do is download some videos off youtube and convert them into .amr files so they can be played on my wife's phone. what software, if any, does this? | 19:29 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : ok that only controls already present scripts and runlevels | 19:29 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5: the alternate CD is still fairly GUI. You just navigate the menu entries with the keyboard instead of the mouse. They ask identical questions. I only suggest it, because we can spend X time fixing this (which likely won't have any relevance to the installed system), or just install with the alternate CD (which will likely work fine) and then use the computer | 19:29 |
| dennis_ | which key else | 19:29 |
| dennis_ | irc newbie | 19:29 |
| iMatter | airtonix, i thought that.... | 19:29 |
| RyanPrior | wolfman3k5: You can do that, yes. You'll need another computer that can boot Ubuntu, and you can use that computer to remaster an ISO with a different kernel. | 19:29 |

| dmoerner | natnayr, with alien or rpm? | 19:32 |
| prince_jammys | natnayr: what command/application are you using to install it? | 19:32 |
| Cpudan80 | natnayr: RPMs are for SuSE, Redhat | 19:32 |
| wthww_ | dannyboy20: http://www.quickcamteam.net/hcl/linux/logitech-webcams anything in ther green part of this list and you should be set | 19:32 |
| phillipedison189 | tamer: try adding the Administer the System permission | 19:32 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : it seems that you will need to put your command in a script and call that script form the sessions gui | 19:32 |
| Cpudan80 | natnayr: The people dont have a deb you can download? | 19:32 |
| natnayr | ic, so what can i use for a network printer | 19:32 |
| iMatter | airtonix.....ounds hard | 19:32 |
| RyanPrior | wolfman3k5: Debian is a distro that can do anything, but is only really good at things if you are an expert at configuration. The Ubuntu team basically configures Debian for maximal desktop enjoyment. :-) | 19:32 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : first line of your script will be : #!/bin/bash | 19:32 |
| natnayr | its a Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_C525_A_AP-1.0-1.i386 | 19:33 |
| wolfman3k5 | <RyanPrior> I am very confortable with the command line, but we are in 2008, 21st century, and I think that on the desktop the GUI should prevail | 19:33 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : second line of the script will be your command | 19:33 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5: the alternate CD installs the same system as the desktop CD | 19:33 |
| Cpudan80 | #!/bin/sh should be the first ine | 19:33 |
| tamer | do u mean local administrator login ? | 19:33 |
| Cpudan80 | not /bash | 19:33 |
| Justi1 | is ubuntu the most user friendly version of linux? | 19:33 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : save it in your home folder somewhere and call taht script from the sessions gui | 19:33 |
| natnayr | it just asks me to install the package they gave me | 19:33 |
| RyanPrior | Flannel: He has determined that the problem is the kernel, rather than the installer. | 19:33 |
| murphy | hi ubuntu users | 19:33 |
| Cpudan80 | You should use standard shell ops, not bash specific opts (99% are the same anyway) | 19:34 |
| unop | Cpudan80, #!/bin/bash forces the script to be run under bash | 19:34 |
| musikgoat | Justi1: yes | 19:34 |
| airtonix | Cpudan80, sh and bash are supported | 19:34 |
| tamer | it was there and now disapeared | 19:34 |
| phillipedison189 | !who | tamer | 19:34 |
| ubottu | tamer: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:34 |
| Chlorate | airtonix, Alright. I think I got it? | 19:34 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: hrm... I guess it doesn't matter for ubuntu | 19:34 |
| dmoerner | !best | Justi1 | 19:34 |
| ubottu | Justi1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:34 |
| unop | Cpudan80, there's nothing wrong with mandating bash | 19:34 |
| phillipedison189 | tamer: the Administer the System option?? | 19:34 |
| natnayr | so how do i fix the /bin/sh? | 19:34 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: I usually program for cross envs | 19:34 |
| wolfman3k5 | <RyanPrior> I know that, I've been a linux user since 1997, and sometimes I took a break on the desktop, but whe I look at the SUSE install DVD options, and at the fact that it's more retarded than it used to be, like it can't even install GRUB where I want it to, I get a headache. | 19:34 |
| dmoerner | natnayr, what is the output of ls -l /bin/sh? | 19:34 |
| wthww_ | Justi1: While it is a matter of opinion, and I do not use Ubuntu daily, I would say yes. | 19:34 |
| iMatter | airtonix, do we need to put sudo in the front of the command or just leave it as modprobe -r ehci_hcd | 19:34 |
| Justi1 | !tab | 19:34 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:34 |
| TheKiNG | unfortunately | 19:35 |
| WhoNeedszz1 | Justi1, that's a matter of opinion but generally thought to be | 19:35 |
| natnayr | it just gives me this error when i try to run RPM: error: Failed dependencies: | 19:35 |
| natnayr | /bin/sh is needed by Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_C525_A_AP-1.0-1.i386 | 19:35 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : yes you will need to do that , but since you not going to be interacting with a terminal, you will need to use the gksudo command instead | 19:35 |
| unop | Cpudan80, well it matters somewhat, if the shebang is /bin/sh .. then bash runs in the POSIX mode | 19:35 |
| TheKiNG | it doesnt work heer | 19:35 |
| pdaous4 | ncfi1013_: okay, here's a good video download bookmarklet: http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html It doesn't actually save it as an MPEG, but you can convert flv videos to other formats using mencoder. My gosh, this channel is moving too fast. I'll get you the rest in a sec. | 19:35 |
| Cpudan80 | iMatter: generally you would the script as sudo, not the lines in it | 19:35 |
| wolfman3k5 | <RyanPrior> I used to use RedHat, and Fedora, but since they decided to make and 100% experimental distro out of it, and constantly breaks, I don't want to use it anymore. I use linux for web development | 19:35 |

| tsudot | Justi1, i think XP is the most stable of them all | 19:37 |
| kevinO | dmoerner, is there an app for them? | 19:37 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5, RyanPrior: not having paid attention, if its a kernel issue with 8.04.1, you could try either the minimal CD, or if you can round up 8.04 instead of 8.04.1, that'll have a different kernel version. | 19:37 |
| wolfman3k5 | <RyanPrior> Ubuntu seemed to me the closest to Mac OS X in terms of quality | 19:37 |
| unop | natnayr, how are you installing this RPM ? | 19:37 |
| unop | natnayr, exactly..? | 19:37 |
| Chlorate | airtronix, So I made a file, called it from the sessions gui, put in the commands, and put it in my /home/ folder. Am I all set? | 19:37 |
| pdaous4 | ncfi1013_: what sort of file did you say you wanted to convert it to? | 19:37 |
| Cpudan80 | wolfman3k5: you can even theme ubuntu to look like OS X :-) | 19:37 |
| dmoerner | kevinO, they are handled out of the box by nm 0.7 in intrepid, but require a bit more setting up in hardy | 19:37 |
| iMatter | airtonix, so move this to /etc/init.d ? | 19:37 |
| prince_jammys | unop: it's a secret. | 19:37 |
| wolfman3k5 | <Flannel> is 8.04.1 a new release, like a minor bug fix release or something? | 19:37 |
| musikgoat | kevinO: you want to find out what card you will be using, what band it uses (evdo or cdma or something) then go from there | 19:37 |

| kevinO | musikgoat, thanks | 19:37 |
| ubottu | natnayr, please see my private message | 19:37 |
| rohit | can you plz tell me why should i apply extra visual effects | 19:38 |
| kevinO | dmoerner, thanks | 19:38 |
| airtonix | iMatter, trymaking the script file and putting in your homefolder first. use the session gui to call that script in your home folder | 19:38 |
| pdaous4 | rohit: to impress your friends and make them want Linux :-) | 19:38 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5: Sort of. Yeah, it rolls up the package fixes (and any installer bugs) found in the first few months. There'll be 8.04.2 (and .3 etc) every sixmonths (.2 comes out in January) | 19:38 |
| wolfman3k5 | <Cpudan80> no thanks, I got Macs here, and I'm sick of OS X. Most people copy the wrong things from OS X anyway. They should coppy the polish and user friendliness, not looks | 19:38 |
| rohit | ??? | 19:38 |
| RyanPrior | rohit: You should not apply extra effects unless you like them. | 19:38 |
| prince_jammys | natnayr: ideally, find a debian package (.deb) instead of installing rpms. if you do install an rpm, use alien as described in the private message. | 19:38 |
| WhoNeedszz1 | Hello. I'm getting a lot of flash videos having gray boxes where the video would be. But if I restart the browser, sometimes it will fix it. What's up with that? | 19:38 |

| rohit | but i have already using them | 19:38 |
| rohit | but | 19:38 |
| pdaous4 | rohit: I also find it makes a window easier to distinguish from its background if it has a nice shadow around it. That's the big reason I apply effects. | 19:39 |
| natnayr | unop: thanks, i understand now, so how do i use alien? | 19:39 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5: It basically makes the CD have most of the packages you'd be downloading from the repos. It's a "release" only in terms of the installer. | 19:39 |
| rohit | after installing updates i cant apply them | 19:39 |
| wolfman3k5 | <Flannel> where can I get the latest ISO of 8.04.X, it might fix the install issue that I have | 19:39 |
| kevinO | musikgoat, dmoerner is there a list of known compatibles? | 19:39 |
| kevinO | i know wwhich one i want | 19:39 |
| airtonix | iMatter, Chlorate : although that page is a bit advanced for your current level of familiarity at the moment | 19:39 |

| ubottu | rohit: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:39 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5: There is no rolling release, I don't believe. But the minimal CD downloads *all* the packages from the internet, and that'll be your best bet. | 19:39 |
| Zopiac | so im trying to upgrade opera to 9.52 from 9.51 from a .deb file, but when i click install package, it tells me another synaptics program is open, but it isnt! | 19:39 |
| daedra | in openssh, I don't seem to be able to set password authentication | 19:39 |

| rohit | ok sorry | 19:39 |
| Flannel | wolfman3k5: That'll give you up to date packages every single time. | 19:39 |

| Flannel | !minimal | wolfman3k5 | 19:40 |
| ubottu | wolfman3k5: 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 | 19:40 |

| musikgoat | kevinO: i'm not seeing any definitive lists | 19:42 |
| Flannel | myk_robinson: permanentlyu or temporarily? | 19:42 |
| pdaous4 | rohit: okay, so it looks like you have an nVidia card. If you could go to the terminal and type in the command 'glxgears' -- does anything happen? You should get a black window with some gears rotating in it | 19:42 |
| kevinO | ok thanks anyway musikgoat | 19:42 |
| myk_robinson | temp for now, just wanna see if that improves my wifi situation | 19:42 |
| musikgoat | kevinO: I would suggest finding out the card name and googling that card and ubuntu | 19:42 |
| pdaous4 | WhoNeedszzz: so it was working in LinuxMint for a while, then it stopped? | 19:42 |

| Flannel | myk_robinson: at the grub menu, hit 'e' and then you can manually edit the grub entry. If you want 'temporarily permanent' (it'll last, but not if you upgrade your kernel) you can edit menu.lst manually and add it to the end of your kernel line. | 19:43 |
| WhoNeedszzz | pdaous4: I suppose you could say that. Though I think it has to do with nswrapper because it gives errors when running firefox from the command line | 19:43 |

I tried to use another driver, to get full accses of my 3D mode (i know that there is not so much). The properitery drver from ati (8.28.8), that is named in the wiki, is not compatible with hardy.

| Justi1 | what does this mean...VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. | 19:45 |
| WhoNeedszzz | pdaous4: i'm not sure what it is. it has to do with wrapping a flash plugin (it stands for netscape wrapper) | 19:45 |
| rohit | no its not like that. not onboard nVidia. intel Xpress card. but i like to tell you one thing that i was using this effects b4 but as soon as installed updates i cant apply these effects again. | 19:45 |
| Chlorate | iMatter, okay. So by doing that the command runs? Cause what I have so far is that script in my /home/ folder. | 19:45 |

| pdaous4 | ScheissDroge1: I wonder if pastebinit gets tired of waiting for hwinfo's output? | 20:07 |
| musikgoat | bj_ the chmod command i suggested | 20:07 |
| Flannel | bezim_: there may be some CAD software too, but inkscape is the defacto "vector graphics" editor | 20:07 |
| iMatter | Chlorate, your username is username...how nice | 20:07 |
| iMatter | Chlorate that could by the reason why >.< your putting username instead of your REAL username | 20:08 |
| matt1728 | can someone help me with ipodlinux? | 20:08 |

| rohit | thats what i getting reply after running that command | 20:09 |

| ScheissDroge1 | pdaous4:might be tired, but direct piped worked before, for shure | 20:09 |
| bj_ | musikgoat, thank you for your time | 20:09 |
| bj_ | that fixed it | 20:09 |
| Chlorate | iMatter, Okay. Then I do the chmod +x /home/michael/usbfix.sh ? | 20:09 |

| pdaous4 | no kidding | 20:11 |
| prince_jammys | haha | 20:11 |
| Cpudan80 | FarmCretin: Yeah -- you can use pretty much any client you want, the server is the tricky part though | 20:11 |
| ScheissDroge1 | lol...candle in the dark | 20:11 |
| pdaous4 | oh, you were being facetious :') | 20:11 |
| Chlorate | iMatter, alright. be right back. | 20:11 |

| Zopiac3 | im getting a CLI login manager, and when i try to open gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm start) it tells me it cant be opened because it is not the default login manager | 20:12 |
| musikgoat | !hello | Killer--Tux | 20:12 |
| ubottu | Killer--Tux: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 20:12 |
| Killer--Tux | is there a way to give my computer a clean up | 20:12 |
| prince_jammys | Justi1: that sucks. well, all I suggested was to follow the hint from the error message. | 20:12 |
| newbie | !hi | Killer--Tux | 20:12 |
| pdaous4 | Killer--Tux: what sort of stuff do you wanna clean up? | 20:12 |
| tamer | i restart my gdm and i still can't see shutdown option in my logout window | 20:13 |
| Seveas | Killer--Tux, lukewarm water and some soap | 20:13 |
| musikgoat | hehe | 20:13 |
| wart_ | Hi folks. I'm trying to get suspend-to-disk to work without the tuxonice patches (viz. just ACPI and 2.6.25.15 kernel). I'm using the hibernate scripts and it hibernates just fine. But with resume=/dev/sda5 on reboot it just reboots normally. | 20:13 |
| tamer | should i use KDE ? | 20:13 |
| Roge | ? | 20:13 |
| prince_jammys | Justi1: next time you post the question, mention that you have already installed the module. | 20:13 |
| wart_ | Here's my pastebin of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m985291f | 20:13 |
| Seveas | wart_, there is no ubuntu release that has a 2.6.25 kernel. We only support Ubuntu kernels | 20:13 |
| Justi1 | could i possibly be doing something wrong? .....or am i in the wrong program to do what i want to do? | 20:13 |
| Killer--Tux | mmm like delete temp files | 20:13 |
| Seveas | Killer--Tux, that's done on reboot | 20:13 |
| gaintsura | could anyone explain to my why I cannot have more than one workspace? I've tried configuring through the settings, I've tried through compiz, and I still cannot get more than one workspace | 20:13 |
| Justi1 | i'm trying to have xp start up within linux | 20:14 |
| dxdemetriou | anybody knows how can I make likewise-open to start on boot? service is set for starting with boot but it don't start | 20:14 |
| Killer--Tux | but my computer seams to be slowwer now what can that be | 20:14 |
| pdaous4 | Killer--Tux: there are some other cached files, but not a lot, really -- you'll find some in .mozilla and that's about it. | 20:14 |
| musikgoat | alot of services running? | 20:14 |
| === llayean-swindon is now known as eth01 | ||
| Seveas | Killer--Tux, maybe you installed lots of services like apache, mysql and whatnot? | 20:14 |

| ScheissDroge1 | rohit: 'Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller' | 20:14 |
| Killer--Tux | yes that might be it | 20:14 |
| rohit | yupp | 20:15 |
| kartoffelmensch | whats the command to see the temperatures of my gpu, cpu etc ? | 20:15 |
| Killer--Tux | but how much ram would be recommended to have | 20:15 |
| Chlorate | iMatter, it didn't work! | 20:15 |
| pdaous4 | Killer--Tux: the system and server logs can get a bit huge... if you don't need them, I think it's safe to delete any log file that ends with a number or a .gz | 20:15 |
| iMatter | ...I'm Back again | 20:15 |
| MortenB | I'm experiencing random freezes on a completely fresh installation. They pop up at random, generally coinciding with small activities like shifting tab in Firefox. The screen freezes, the mouse doesn't move, and the LEDs blink. :( .. Memtest passes with no problems. | 20:15 |
| eth01 | kartoffelmensch: what mobo is it you have? | 20:15 |
| iMatter | Chlorate, as i suspected | 20:15 |
| Justi1 | gaintsura: right click on the workspace selector and change the amount of colums/rows | 20:15 |
| pdaous4 | kartoffelmensch: you need to install a few thingsssss first... lm_sensors, I think | 20:15 |
| noodlesgc | kartoffelmensch try acpi | 20:15 |
| wart_ | Seveas: Same problem with any 2.6.23 or greater kernel, despite the advertisement that one can suspend-to-disk without tuxonice. The problem with tuxonice (by the way) is that it resumes properly (which is good!) but it will segfault after a few minutes. So I thought I'd try the non-tuxonice alternative. | 20:15 |
| pdaous4 | kartoffelmensch: or maybe it's lmsensors, without the underscore | 20:15 |
| iMatter | Chlorate, ask the guy that was telling us earlier | 20:15 |
| iMatter | im at a loss | 20:15 |
| wart_ | (At least on my machine.) | 20:15 |
| eth01 | acpi won't work noodlesgc | 20:16 |
| Seveas | wart_, there is also no ubuntu release with a 2.6.23 kernel :) | 20:16 |
| kartoffelmensch | ok i check, thank you guys | 20:16 |
| noodlesgc | eht01 why not? | 20:16 |
| gaintsura | Justil: tried that, didn't work either | 20:16 |
| askand | Whats up with Brainstorm? There is a lot of ideas that are either being worked upon or already is in,but they are not marked? Why? Who is behind this and how do we contact them? | 20:16 |
| Seveas | wart_, we only support ubuntu kernels | 20:16 |
| wart_ | Seveas: Man, I'm barking up a seriously wrong tree :-) | 20:16 |
| eth01 | i'm guessing it won't, and i'm 99.99% sure of that | 20:16 |
| Killer--Tux | o ok | 20:16 |
| Seveas | wart_, looks like it :) | 20:16 |
| gaintsura | justil: it only adds rows/columns, doesn't actually add workspaces | 20:16 |
| ScheissDroge1 | rohit: back to facts, what was your prob with this standard ctrl-er? | 20:16 |
| === _Zeus_1 is now known as _Zeus_ | ||
| Justi1 | gaintsura: press ctrl and alt and the right arrow key | 20:16 |
| pdaous4 | rohit: okay, so let's figure out what's going on. could you type the command glxinfo | pastebinit and give us the URL? | 20:16 |
| gaintsura | justil: nothing | 20:17 |
| Chlorate | iMatter, hold on I think I messed something up. Im going to reboot. | 20:17 |
| Seveas | wart_, try intrepid/2.6.27 -- if suspend-to-disk with stock kernels fails: file a bug :) | 20:17 |

| iMatter | Chlorate, Okay. | 20:17 |
| wart_ | seveas: Thanks! | 20:17 |

| Seveas | gaintsura, liferea is great | 20:20 |
| rohit | what is that??? | 20:20 |
| pdaous4 | rohit: okay,, so 3D isn't working right now. If I could get you to pastebin two files... first run "pastebinit -i /var/log/Xorg.log" and then run "pastebinit -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (don't include the " marks) | 20:20 |
| dooglus | Seveas: I don't know if it could scan the access point or not | 20:21 |
| gaintsura | Seveas: alright, thanks, I'll check it out | 20:21 |
| Seveas | dooglus, if it gets that far it could indicate something weird going on at the dhcp server | 20:21 |
| Seveas | dooglus, maybe it's associating with the wrong AP? | 20:21 |
| rohit | after running first command i got new type of command prompt | 20:21 |
| gaintsura | Seveas: I was looking for something a bit more widgety | 20:21 |

| Chlorate | askand, Yeah. | 20:30 |
| ScheissDroge1 | rohit: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk && sudo displayconfig-gtk | 20:30 |
| askand | MortenB: That im not sure of, im sorry what version? | 20:30 |
| mikeypizano | nope i just found the channel list | 20:30 |
| askand | Chlorate: oh hang on then | 20:30 |
| gaintsura | MaicolGorn: ctrl+alt+backspace, re-login | 20:30 |
| Chlorate | askand, I went to Sessions and had it run there but it doesn't work. | 20:30 |
| ScheissDroge1 | pdaous4: and monitor isn't really set up.... | 20:30 |
| CorbinFox | is it a known problem to have .mov files play in black and white only? all other video formats are fine, like avi, flv, etc. | 20:30 |
| rohit | command not found | 20:30 |
| mikeypizano | anyone know a reason why shmconfig wont enable? | 20:31 |
| MortenB | askand, 8.04 Desktop | 20:31 |
| MortenB | askand, I get random freezes | 20:31 |
| ScheissDroge1 | rohit: can figure out your monitor in GUI ? | 20:31 |
| MortenB | accompanied by LEDs blinking | 20:31 |
| trenton_net | Does anyone know how to display extended ascii in an ubuntu shell? | 20:31 |
| rohit | hows that ??? | 20:31 |
| ballzee | im loosing songs in amarok is there an auto delete or something iv never had this happen before | 20:31 |
| pdaous4 | ScheissDroge1: do you know much about the intel driver? I'm mostly an nVidia guy, so I don't know how much help I'll be... | 20:32 |
| DanielRS | I need help: my N95 is not mounting on hardy, using "mass storage" mode | 20:32 |
| ech0s7 | i would make a dvd with some photos and a music in underground...what program can i use ? (i'm on gnome) | 20:32 |
| ScheissDroge1 | pdaous4:should be intel-hda | 20:32 |
| askand | Chlorate: open up the file /etc/rc.local as root | 20:32 |
| xiq | does anyone know if there is a way to play DRM'ed WMA files in ubuntu? | 20:32 |
| Chlorate | askand, How? | 20:33 |
| pdaous4 | ScheissDroge1: you mean the device driver line in xorg.conf should be intel-hda? or is that the package name? | 20:33 |
| askand | Chlorate: in a terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local | 20:33 |
| askand | MortenB: oh...yea..8.04 had problems with that for some people..I dont think they know the cause really :/ | 20:33 |
| DanielRS | I need help: my N95 is not mounting on hardy, using "mass storage" mode | 20:33 |
| pdaous4 | ech0s7: that's a tough one; there aren't a lot of great video editors out there. And I'm not quite sure what you'd do once you get the video file created. But here are a few leads for video editors: kino, lives, cinelerra. | 20:33 |
| Chlorate | askand, Then? | 20:34 |
| MortenB | askand, really? So what is the solution, a downgrade? | 20:34 |
| askand | Chlorate: then before exit 0 you put "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" | 20:34 |
| ScheissDroge1 | pdaous4:intel-hda is the correct driver, not listet in xorg... , but xorg... hasn't a helpfull monitor section, xorg.0.log displays no errors on driver, so prbly loaded, otherwise manually by modprobe | 20:35 |
| pablo_ | Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu. For some reason, there's no sound in my computer. Is there some common guide to fix this kind of problems? | 20:35 |

| Chlorate | askand, Okay. I did that | 20:35 |

| ScheissDroge1 | rohit: can figure out your monitor in GUI ? | 20:35 |
| askand | MortenB: hm..8.10 is released in october..perhaps you want to use that version..it should not be used on production systems and such as it can break | 20:35 |
| pdaous4 | alexi5: rhythmbox, totem -- a lot of them, actually. | 20:35 |
| pdaous4 | alexi5: to listen to a Shoutcast stream in Rhythmbox, you add it as a radio station. | 20:36 |
| askand | Chlorate: ok save it and reboot, and report back :) | 20:36 |
| rohit | but tell me how ??? | 20:36 |

| berntsen | it's because rc.local is run before the desktop is set up, and then gksudo won't work. | 20:47 |

| ijn | ubuntu see chipset but cant make it work | 20:56 |
| kebert | Having problems getting the Nvidia drivers working under Intrepid Ibex | 20:56 |
| berntsen | Chlorate: The kernel will not load that module. Add the line and reboot. It should work | 20:56 |
| k0de | doesn't anyone know about encryption? | 20:56 |
| delire | askand: hrmm. i'm not working in a Gnome session but will login to a gnome session and see if the key was automatically added there. cheers. | 20:56 |
| sanjayb | k0de: hm. it looks like an ubuntu problem to me . | 20:56 |
| delire | bbs | 20:56 |
| Chlorate | brentsen, How do I do this then? Explain in somewhat detail if you would. I'm pretty new.. | 20:56 |
| askand | Chlorate: the command you run after boot to make usb work, removes the module ehci_hcd. If you do what berntsen say, ubuntu will not load the module so no need to remove it :) | 20:56 |
| k0de | Okay, here's how you guys can be helpful. Since nobody wants to answer my question at least suggest which channel i should go to | 20:56 |
| sanjayb | k0de: network-manager is fubared. and then im not sure what the cmd. line is for sending the wpa key . well, guess #wireless might be a better place. thx. | 20:56 |

| pdaous4 | daedra: oh, here we go -- I'd never used passphrases with SSH keys before. Apparently if you include a passphrase when you generate a key, you'll be asked for that passphrase whenever you try to use that key. | 20:59 |
| Chlorate | brentsen, Okay when I press ctrl x and y nothing happens. | 20:59 |

| askand | :) | 21:00 |
| berntsen | k0de: It's not the solution you're looking for, but install cryptkeeper. It can encrypt a directory | 21:00 |
| askand | Chlorate: then it should take you back to terminal | 21:00 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: whats the command to force mount SDA5? | 21:00 |
| kebert | I need some help getting my Geforce FX 5700 working with Intrepid Ibex | 21:00 |

| usser | kebert, go to #ubuntu+1 | 21:00 |
| daedra | pdaous4: well, I want to be able to use both key based auth, and passwording on that key | 21:01 |
| k0de | berntsen, i have a roommate that is nosey =) much obliged | 21:01 |
| berntsen | Chlorate: Ctrl+X means exit. And then you press Y to accept the changes to the file. It saves the file and brings you back to the terminal. | 21:01 |
| kebert | usseer, thanks for the tip | 21:01 |
| dooglus | jinzougen: I don't know. maybe #kubuntu will know | 21:01 |

| cmatheson | i'm reading up on writing upstart jobs, which it seems should be placed in /etc/init/jobs.d, but /etc/init doesn't exist on my system (hardy). is this typical? | 21:01 |
| pdaous4 | daedra: that seems to be what you want then -- ssh-keygen -p | 21:02 |
| daedra | pdaous4: but so far only passwordlogin and keyauth work | 21:02 |
| askand | Chlorate: hm okej , then in terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 21:02 |
| k0de | berntsen, aside from that, everything should be encrypted all the time | 21:02 |
| askand | askand: it might be easier than the terminal editor :) | 21:02 |
| berntsen | cmatheson: /etc/init.d | 21:02 |
| Seveas | cmatheson, try #upstart | 21:02 |
| pdaous4 | daedra: oh... um, I'm pretty ignorant of extreme security; sorry; I'll have to defer that question to someone else :) | 21:02 |
| Seveas | berntsen, that's not for upstart jobs | 21:02 |
| cmatheson | berntsen: Seveas: thanks | 21:02 |
| musikgoat | cmatheson: it may be /etc/init.d/ | 21:02 |
| berntsen | Seveas: sorry... | 21:02 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: dunno about forcing, but a manual mount, which will give you error mesages, would be sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /media/whatever_your_mount_point_is_called | 21:02 |
| === julian_ is now known as delire | ||
| musikgoat | cmatheson: but i'm not familiar with upstart | 21:02 |
| Seveas | cmatheson, /etc/event.d is where some stock jobs are stored in 8.04/upstart 0.3. Upstart 0.5 is completely different | 21:03 |
| Chlorate | askand, Then what? | 21:03 |
| askand | Chlorate: blacklist ehci_hcd | 21:03 |
| dooglus | k0de: if you google for 'ubuntu encrypted drive' you'll find lots of advice | 21:03 |
| askand | Chlorate: that should be in that file | 21:03 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: ('sudo mount -a' will do the same thing, only to every drive that's set up in /etc/fstab) | 21:03 |
| askand | Chlorate: If it is not, you add it to the bottom | 21:03 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: what do i put for whatever the media is called | 21:03 |
| berntsen | Chlorate: Take a reboot. Everything should be ok without you having to use that command | 21:03 |
| Chlorate | askand, bernsen, I will do that. | 21:04 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: you could create a folder in /media (or anywhere, for that matter) and then use that folder. For testing purposes I usually create a folder called /home/paul/mydisk and then go 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /home/paul/mydisk' | 21:04 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: there might already be a folder in /media called 'windows' or something, but that might already be mounted with the Vista partition. | 21:05 |
| cmatheson | Seveas: oh shoot, is documentation available for the older upstart versions? or should i just use inittab? | 21:05 |

| askand | opt1k: did you notice if it was a kernel update? | 21:06 |
| mbrigdan | anyone know of any local memory editors for ubuntu? | 21:06 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: any error messages? If not, can you paste the last ten lines of the output of the dmesg command? | 21:06 |
| woodyfly | All my games feel theyre being run at 60hz... if i try to force it with an ingame command (eg. r_displayrefresh 100) it doesnt work | 21:06 |

| RyanPrior | I can't connect to people's music shares with rhythmbox - it says retrieving music, but it doesn't retrieve anything. Can someone help me fix that? | 21:06 |
| pdaous4 | RyanPrior: firewall issue, maybe? | 21:07 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, that would be my first guess too. | 21:07 |
| RyanPrior | pdaous4: on my end, or theirs? | 21:07 |
| brettley_ | $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) Failled to mount '/dev/sda5' | 21:07 |

| kyle__ | anyone know what chan I should take OSS sound problems to?? | 21:07 |
| askand | opt1k: hm ok..can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:07 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: thats what i get | 21:07 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, also, do you have nmap installed? | 21:08 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: I am behind a router, but I can connect to other people's computers over LAN and I can see the shares, just not retrieve the music. | 21:08 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: How do I check for nmap? | 21:08 |
| opt1k | askand: i'll do that now, give me a sec | 21:08 |
| Chlorate | askand, Okay it seemed to work on start up. It took a few moments to mount. Will it be slow or something? | 21:08 |
| k0de | ryanakca, you don't have it installed. apt-get install nmap | 21:08 |
| pdaous4 | brettley: ah. That's one of the annoying things with Linux and Windows... reboot into Vista, access your XP partition, then reboot back into Ubuntu. | 21:08 |
| k0de | i mean RyanPrior | 21:08 |
| cbx333 | hi all | 21:08 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, you don't have it installed. apt-get install nmap | 21:08 |
| brettley_ | thats all i have to do? | 21:08 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: that should mark the XP partition as properly unmounted. | 21:08 |
| askand | Chlorate: it will be the same way as when you wrote the command every startup, but easier for you ;) | 21:08 |
| cbx333 | i had a cdrom drive in my machine and I swapped it for a dvd | 21:09 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: Why isn't nmap installed by default? | 21:09 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: ok | 21:09 |
| cbx333 | but it doesn't now function as a dvd | 21:09 |
| cbx333 | i put it on a differnt ide channel | 21:09 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: Silly that it shows you the shares but won't let you connect to them. | 21:09 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: works for me. won't fix the XP-not-booting issue, but at least you'll be able to mount it. | 21:09 |
| cbx333 | but it still doen't work | 21:09 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, also you need to learn everything about nmap because it's the coolest networking tool ever | 21:09 |
| cbx333 | why? | 21:09 |
| Chlorate | askand, Okay good! Thank you. Also, for some reason my control key doesn't work. Any ideas there? :\ I use ctrl often | 21:09 |

| k0de | RyanPrior, it's by far the best portscanning tool there is, and we'll test your socket connections with it. | 21:09 |
| askand | Chlorate: If its in the terminal, you should use ctrl+shift+<letter> :) is it other programs too? | 21:09 |
| opt1k | askand: http://opt1k.pastebin.com/d4efc96da | 21:10 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: actually, it was just so we could check to see that NTLDR was there. Which, it occurs to me, could be done just as easily once you boot into Vista :-) | 21:10 |
| k0de | bbq^, do you like Basket? | 21:10 |
| Chlorate | askand, Nope. For example, in firefox I can't use ctrl+T to open a new tab or ctrl+V to paste something | 21:10 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: -.- and im restarting my PC now after booting windows lol | 21:10 |

| askand | opt1k: hm ok..why do you have a sudo account btw? :) | 21:11 |
| k0de | cbx333, this channel works so fast, could you try to keep your question in one line? | 21:11 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: whould it be easier to do it from ubuntu for modifying the GRUB after or something? | 21:11 |
| k0de | cbx333, i've lost your train of thought in the scroll | 21:11 |
| cbx333 | :P | 21:11 |
| cbx333 | np | 21:11 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: yeah, it would, actually. Stay in Linux if you're already there. | 21:11 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: right when i boot to vista haha | 21:12 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, lol no, nmap is a tool i'm going to have you run to test the connection | 21:12 |
| cbx333 | I swapped out a cd rom drive and replace with a dvd drive, though on a different ide channel.....now the dvd drive doesn't function as a dvd ... but as a cd | 21:12 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, nmap theipaddress | 21:12 |
| k0de | ryanakca, it will take a minute or so | 21:12 |
| askand | opt1k: you can try to reinstall the atidrivers perhaps..sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx and then sudo depmod -a | 21:12 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: oh wait. maybe I'm confused. I thought you said you had booted into Vista and now you were rebooting into Linux. Which is what should be done. | 21:12 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: Aha, I thought you meant it was one of Rhythmbox's dependencies for pulling in music. :-P | 21:12 |

| RyanPrior | k0de: How do I find the ip address of the share being shown in Rhythmbox? | 21:14 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, nmap is the hacker's best friend. You can scan for either tcp or udp ports, you can scan devices that don't ping back, you can scan whole networks. | 21:14 |
| Chlorate | askand, Not that I know of. It did work for compiz and the spinning cube but I took off the binding for that to make sure | 21:14 |
| opt1k | askand: yeah, i hope it will.. and also i hope ati/community will improve that damn drivers =) | 21:14 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, it doesn't show you the hostname? | 21:14 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, what's the name of the share | 21:14 |
| askand | opt1k: indeed, I think community is catching up :) | 21:14 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: it just shows them by their human-readable names, ie Brianna's Library | 21:15 |

| pdaous4 | brettley_: just ntldr and ntdetect.com, I think, but the howto I sent you covers it more accurately than I could :-) | 21:21 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, do this: nmap -P0 thatip | 21:21 |
| woodyfly | opt1k: i can see my new setings with nvidia generated xorg, but it wont let me save it | 21:22 |
| ekow | I can't seem to unextract any archives in ubuntu, i've tried tar, zip, and rar and when i right click and choose Extract Here it doesn't do anything. | 21:22 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: just copy and paste to the same place right? | 21:22 |
| BigBear | how can i get ubuntu fonts in xp? | 21:22 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, and don't you dare paste the output in the channel. use pastebin. | 21:22 |
| woodyfly | opt1k: my current xorg is EMPTY, i cant edit anything | 21:22 |
| ScheissDroge1 | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.numberO , woodyfly | 21:22 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: yup, the root folder of your XP partition. | 21:22 |
| Qubex | Hey ya, is it possible to resize a hdd without deleting all data? | 21:22 |
| k0de | !pastebin | 21:22 |
| 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) | 21:22 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: Is that -P0, as in numeral zero? | 21:22 |
| k0de | yes | 21:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | woodyfly: then you entered the path wrong most likely... and it just "created" a file to open | 21:22 |

| BigBear | what font does ubuntu use by defualt? | 21:23 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, if a host doesn't ping back, but is active, -P0 ignores the ping back., | 21:23 |
| woodyfly | opt1k: u sure that wont fkd i up? lol | 21:23 |
| brettley_ | pdaous4: not hard then, just throw my live boot disk of hardy in another PC, put in a porta HDD and copy paste :) | 21:23 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, the host is down | 21:23 |
| woodyfly | opt1k: i had to reinstall ubuntu 2 times cause of broken xorgs | 21:23 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: I know for sure it isn't. | 21:23 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: That host is able to read my music share, I just can't read his. | 21:23 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, nmap -sU -P0 theip | 21:23 |
| opt1k | woodyfly: there isn't much to fck up :P | 21:23 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: Found my problem; I typed -p0 instead of -P0 | 21:23 |
| k0de | there you go | 21:23 |
| k0de | ignore last line | 21:24 |

| Trijntje | i want to transfer wireless network settings from one laptop to another. When i try "Edit wireless network" from the network-icon i cant edit bssids. Any suggestions? | 21:24 |
| pdaous4 | brettley_: yup, that'll be fine. And it is the root folder of your XP partition, correct. After copying those files, all you need to do is change the 'root (hd0,4,0)' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to 'root (hd0,4)'. | 21:24 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, ok let me know what -P0 says in a minute. It's going to be a minute or two. | 21:24 |

| k0de | RyanPrior, open your firewall and set your port forwarding for 139 and 445 tcp to forward to the local ip of your pc | 21:26 |
| opt1k | woodyfly: dunno.. but even if it comes to reinstalling ubuntu, that takes approximately 10 minutes =) | 21:26 |

| opt1k | woodyfly: and i suppose that you have nothing valuable on your hdd to lose =) | 21:26 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: I don't know how to do that. I don't have any firewall settings apart from the Ubuntu defaults. | 21:26 |
| mbrigdan | footballer: why would I want to buy a "free" iphone? | 21:26 |
| Spasysheep | does anyone know where firefox and thunderbird keep settings / downloaded mail? | 21:26 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, do you have a router? | 21:26 |
| woodyfly | opt1k: no but time ;| | 21:27 |
| Ferrenrock | is there a place where I can grab a copy of the default menu.lst for ubuntu? | 21:27 |
| Trijntje | Spasysheep: /home/.mozilla i guess | 21:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ferrenrock: the chances of a "default" one working for you, is slim | 21:27 |
| k0de | RyanPrior, what is between your network card on your pc and the wall? | 21:27 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: Yes, but it is not controlled by myself. However, let me explain the situation somewhat: Zach can connect to my music share and to Breanna's music share, and Breanna can connect to my share and Zach's, but I cannot connect to Breanna's or Zach's shares. | 21:28 |
| Spasysheep | trijntje : i looked but it dosent exist | 21:28 |
| woodyfly | opt1k: Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0; 1024x768_85 +0+0" is my current... what would be the correct line to force 100 refresh rate? | 21:28 |
| mbrigdan | chetnick: Laptop fans always run, they are barely at a reasonable with a fan, so its a bad idea to turn it off. But if you really want to, you MIGHT be able to get SMART fan targeting in your BIOS | 21:28 |
| Ferrenrock | IndyGunFreak: I don't use ubuntu, but I like the look ubuntu has in grub with the text to the side, allowing more room for a splash image | 21:28 |
| RyanPrior | k0de: nothing but a cat5 cable between my card and the wall. | 21:28 |
| ekow | I can't seem to unextract any archives in ubuntu, i've tried tar, zip, and rar and when i right click and choose Extract Here it doesn't do anything. Anyone? | 21:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ferrenrock: text to the side? | 21:28 |
| Trijntje | Spasysheep: if you use a file browser it is hidden, you should select the 'show hidden files' | 21:29 |
| opt1k | woodyfly: don't know that, haven't had experiences with 100Hz refresh rate :D (my hardware is a bit outdated for that stuff XD) | 21:29 |
| Ferrenrock | IndyGunFreak: you know how grub in ubuntu has the logo on the left and the selection on the right, as opposed to the normal box with options? | 21:29 |

| FreshUbuntuNoob | kavelot, It is not present by default, but "ifplugd" fulfills that purpose... | 21:39 |
| Ferrenrock | Swish: also I want to see if there are any patches for grub that ubuntu uses that aren't on my rather bare-bones distro | 21:39 |

| cyphase | actually, now that i think about it, i think i've done that before | 21:40 |
| Ferrenrock | is there a more specific ubuntu channel for what I need? | 21:40 |
| lejacques | Drago1, type eject in the term | 21:40 |
| unop | lejacques, did you use fdisk with sudo there? | 21:40 |
| Justi1 | i'll see what weew can do for me | 21:40 |
| me_ | f | 21:40 |
| lejacques | unop: yes i did | 21:40 |
| Drago1 | It says cannot unmount | 21:40 |
| kavelot | FreshUbuntuNoob: hm, but ubuntu auto-detects, by default, when a network cable is plugged, doesn't it? | 21:40 |
| me_ | anyone want to be chat buddies | 21:40 |
| me_ | im 22/m/usa | 21:40 |
| unop | lejacques, what kind of a device is this? | 21:40 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | kavelot, AFAIK, it never did to me... and it doesn't... | 21:40 |
| guntbert | !ot | me_ | 21:41 |
| ubottu | me_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:41 |
| Strife89 | I'm curious: Is there any way for me to have the OS skip hard drive scanning at boot time? | 21:41 |
| Drago1 | lejacques: It says device busy | 21:41 |
| Drago1 | I am unable to eject my cd-rom to put in the next one it says unable to unmount | 21:42 |
| lejacques | unop: its an external usb hd | 21:42 |
| RyanPrior | Strife89: if you're using Ubuntu 8.04, you can press [esc] to skip it. | 21:42 |
| lejacques | unop: its strange because ive used it before fine, but i just formatted | 21:42 |
| unop | Strife89, yes, there is - but ideally you don't want to skip this, let it continue .. if it finishes successfully, it shouldn't do it for the next 30 or so boots | 21:42 |
| lejacques | drago1: do you know whats using it? | 21:43 |
| unop | lejacques, does dmesg have anything to say about the device? | 21:43 |
| mizipzor | ive always wondered, all these open source projects that have really strict coding conventions, is there someone sitting and validating all committed code? or do they have a program to do it? | 21:43 |
| Strife89 | RyanPrior , unop: How about the scans that it ALWAYS does? | 21:43 |
| TheChuckster | Hey. I'm trying to make a document in Abiword with a title in the center followed by two columns... if I create the columns using the toolbar, it forces the title on top to be in the first column... how do I make the title span across both columns? | 21:43 |
| lejacques | unop: sorry unop, when should I run that? after fdisk or just after i plug it in? | 21:43 |
| Drago1 | lejacques: Yes world of warcraft installer is using it | 21:43 |
| TheChuckster | Is there a certain type of break I need to insert after the title? | 21:43 |
| unop | lejacques, after plugging it in | 21:43 |
| lejacques | drago1: ahh, i get it drago | 21:44 |
| Drago1 | lejacques: But i don't want to exit the installer because it needs the next disk to continue | 21:44 |
| RyanPrior | mizipzor: Each open source project has its own code of conduct when it comes to code clean-ness and correctness - some are very loose, some are rigid and diligently vet each line. | 21:44 |
| lejacques | drago1: honestly im not real sure | 21:44 |
| xkpe | hellp | 21:44 |
| guntbert | kavelot: have a look at the log files when you plug it in/out, you should see something ... | 21:44 |
| xkpe | hello* | 21:44 |
| RyanPrior | mizipzor: It's important to understand that open source projects, lacking centralization or corporate control, are community-driven and that blanket statements cannot be made. | 21:44 |
| Nutt718 | any recommendations on a good theme site for Ubuntu? | 21:44 |
| unop | Strife89, there's something wrong it it does an fsck every time you boot up. | 21:44 |
| bavardage | Nutt718: gnome-look.org | 21:45 |
| Drago1 | Maybe someone else will know what the problem is | 21:45 |
| Strife89 | unop: Which it does.... :( | 21:45 |
| mizipzor | RyanPrior: very true indeed... | 21:45 |
| Nutt718 | bavardage: thanks | 21:45 |

| hackintosh411 | My Broadcom Wireless only last 10 mins. | 21:45 |
| daedra | RyanPrior: the private one? | 21:45 |
| Strife89 | unop: Do you want a log (assuming it makes one)? | 21:46 |
| unop | Strife89, boot up into recovery mode (selecting that option at the grub screen) and run an fsck there. just type fsck. see what it has to report. | 21:46 |
| RyanPrior | daedra: Make sure you shred it on the medium you use to transfer it, or send it via a secure connection. | 21:46 |

| artic | says i am missing wubilder.mbr | 22:23 |
| Veliouras2 | which file is the list of available systems to boot at start up if you have both ubuntu and windows in one pc? | 22:23 |
| dr_willis | matrix, that site seems to be selling proxy service.. you want to use that sites proxy? or a local privoxy server? | 22:23 |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: but it said It couldn't recognize the command | 22:24 |
| erUSUL | Veliouras2: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:24 |
| dres | LazyGun3: do "ls /etc/init.d/alsa*" | 22:24 |
| Omoikane_ | I'm trying to add my LCD tv via svideo and I don't seem to be having any luck. | 22:24 |
| powertool08 | anyone know what "bad service request ssh-connection" means? error is from putty client on XP connecting to openssh server via pubkey auth | 22:24 |
| Veliouras2 | thanx erUSUL | 22:24 |
| dres | LazyGun3: it's probably "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" | 22:24 |
| Eroick | still can't boot, even with acpi off and noapic. boot just stalls at IO scheduler cfg requested. computer crashes completely as well, numlock light wont toggle. computer is an Acer Aspire desktop. | 22:24 |

| ubottu | TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 22:25 |
| LazyGun3 | ok | 22:25 |

| LazyGun3 | dres: It seemed not to help | 22:25 |
| erUSUL | !ccsm | fluid | 22:26 |
| ubottu | fluid: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 22:26 |

| WastePotato | I KNOW IT STINKS IN HERE, CUZ I'M THE SHIT | 22:26 |
| LazyGun3 | dres: Looking | 22:26 |
| fluid | erUSUL, already got that. | 22:26 |
| WastePotato | xD | 22:26 |
| FloodBot1 | WastePotato: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:26 |
| erUSUL | Justi1: if it is a deb file just double click | 22:26 |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: Not really too much though | 22:26 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: dpkg -i file.deb | 22:26 |
| dr_willis | matrix, for the guide i saw they show -> # Use 127.0.0.1:8118 for all proxies, except SOCKS | 22:26 |
| dr_willis | # SOCKS is 127.0.0.1:9050 | 22:26 |
| fluid | erUSUL, I just need to know what the setting would be for left+right mouse buttons. | 22:26 |
| rsty | where can i get urvxt? | 22:26 |
| guntbert | artic: sorry, no idea about that :( | 22:26 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a way to download all the songs from an iPod? I can access the filesystem, but hte songs are named CUDQ.mp3 rather than My Humps.mp3 | 22:27 |
| Justi1 | it says there's supposed to be deb file | 22:27 |
| Justi1 | but it's a .run file | 22:27 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: ./file.un I believe | 22:27 |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: It is a recognized bug though | 22:27 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: ./file.run | 22:27 |
| matrix | well i followed that guide it still shows my ip when i surf with my firefox | 22:27 |
| WastePotato | WTF just happened? | 22:27 |
| ivo | how to start use RealTime in my Ubuntu? | 22:27 |
| WastePotato | My connection just died. | 22:28 |
| WastePotato | D: | 22:28 |
| DrHalan | if i have a nautlius set to "list-view" can i remove the "tree-style", you know that there are arrows in front of the folders to show whats inside | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | matrix, then you missed a step sounds like to me.. | 22:28 |

| dres | LazyGun3: ah well. sorry I wasn't more help. | 22:28 |
| Justi1 | do i need to proved the directory of the file? | 22:28 |
| Justi1 | provide? | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | !privoxy | 22:28 |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: It's quite alright | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about privoxy | 22:28 |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: It seems like this is a pretty big issue | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | matrix, sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | 22:28 | |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: Would updating the kernel help at all? | 22:28 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: if the file isn't in your current directory or path then yes, ./full/path/to/file.run | 22:28 |
| Omoikane__ | I'm trying to add my LCD tv via svideo and I don't seem to be having any luck. | 22:29 |
| LjL | WastePotato: your connection didn't die, you were removed. this channel is about Ubuntu support. if you have any Ubuntu support questions, ask (detailed, all in one line), otherwise please respect this channel's purpose and don't waste people's time by making it busier than it is. thank you. | 22:29 |
| dres | LazyGun3: it could if the kernel handles it in a newer version. | 22:29 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: sorry, /full/path/./file.run | 22:29 |
| LazyGun3 | Dres: How do I tell if I have the latest version | 22:29 |
| LazyGun3 | ? | 22:29 |
| WastePotato | :'( | 22:29 |
| matrix | i still shows my ip | 22:29 |
| erUSUL | !grub | Veliouras2 | 22:30 |

| RyanPrior | Is there a program to take the songs off the iPod filesystem and rename them according to their audio tags? | 22:30 |
| dres | LazyGun3: run synaptic I guess and update then look for a newer version. | 22:30 |
| WastePotato | LjL, I do have a question. | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | matrix, sounds like you either skipped the install/confure privoxy to use TOR step.. or dont have the browser set to use privoxy | 22:30 |
| Justi1 | family@family-desktop:~$ /home/family/desktop/./VirtualBox-1.6.4-Linux_x86.run | 22:30 |
| Justi1 | that's what i typed in | 22:30 |

| Justi1 | how would i do that? | 22:32 |
| matrix | if any time i want to use privoxy do i need to start it from terminal sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start | 22:33 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: cd /home/family/desktop | 22:33 |

| hackintosh411 | ... | 22:33 |

| Justi1 | aggh | 22:33 |
| WastePotato | MKay, thanks LjL. Imma do that when I boot into Vista. :-D | 22:33 |
| erUSUL | hackintosh411: disable it for Network manager? | 22:34 |
| unop | Strife89, ok, run it again - and select yes this time - but pay close attention to any warnings/prompts it gives you -- if you are unsure, ask us | 22:34 |
| hackintosh411 | erUSUL: yes | 22:34 |
| Mr_Fixit | so i had xubuntu 6.06 installed and was having problems with both my internet connection(both wireless and wired) and no sound.... I upgraded to 8.04 and now i am having more driver issues?? with the display and the 2 previous.. but i can't even get my network cards goin.. | 22:34 |
| Justi1 | it says it cant open the file | 22:35 |
| erUSUL | hackintosh411: go to System>dmin>Net and disable roaming mode for the interfaces you do not want NM to drive | 22:35 |
| hackintosh411 | I read that if I disable my wired nic my ubuntu wireless will last for more than 10 mins... | 22:35 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: and its listed with ls? | 22:35 |

| Justi1 | yes | 22:35 |
| Strife89 | unop: How am I going to ask you if I'm smack in the middle of it with no network connection?..... | 22:35 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: do you have permission to access? try sudo | 22:35 |
| Strife89 | unop: (I'm on a WiFi network.) | 22:36 |
| Justi1 | sudo .... | 22:36 |
| powertool08 | sudo <any command> will run the command as root | 22:36 |
| hackintosh411 | So am I still on wifi? | 22:36 |
| Justi1 | sudo VirtualBox-1.6.4-Linux_x86.run | 22:37 |
| Justi1 | i typed that in | 22:37 |
| Justi1 | it says command not found | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | !virtualbox | Justi1 | 22:37 |
| ubottu | Justi1: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 22:37 |
| unop | Strife89, you can always say no to the questions it asks, if it allows for that option .. or press CTRL+C to cancel the command .. mostly it tries to do the safest thing, but pay attention to it. | 22:37 |
| powertool08 | Justi1: sudo ./VirtualBox-1.6.4-Linux_x86.run | 22:38 |
| tsuna27 | does any1 here noe about awn | 22:38 |
| Justi1 | oh i cant use the peul version | 22:38 |

| sharperguy | How do I run a command over SSH which will execute a command (for example) 10 minutes after I've disconnected from the server? | 22:39 |
| tsuna27 | I want 2 add the home icon to my dock and the trash | 22:39 |
| erUSUL | sharperguy: use at on the remote machine | 22:39 |
| Strife89 | unop: Okay, one last thing before I reboot again: What's the WORST that could happen? | 22:39 |

| tsuna27 | #awn | 22:40 |
| sharperguy | erUSUL, no that wouldn't work | 22:40 |
| Strife89 | unop: Because if the worst is file corruption, I have a Live CD for reinstallation. | 22:40 |
| unop | Strife89, file system damage .. which is why you need to pay close attention to what is happening | 22:41 |
| dsch04 | Anyone know how to get sound working under kxmame ? | 22:41 |
| unop | Strife89, though, that rarely happens | 22:41 |

| Jakob_the_liar | ok ps -x outputs apache2 but when i sudo apt-get remove apache2 it says its not installed | 22:41 |
| Strife89 | unop: Alright, then. I'll give it a shot. | 22:42 |
| sharperguy | erUSUL, cool thanks | 22:42 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and i can run it from the terminal | 22:42 |

| erUSUL | sharperguy: sorry is: at now + 10 minutes <enter> «type command» <Crtl +D> | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | sharperguy: it wants things really verbose | 22:44 |

| facemelter | hi, i have a question.. | 22:46 |
| ajww | Q: /proc/drivers/nvidia/agp/status is reporting fast writes is disabled, my card supports it, my motherboard supports, and if I modprobe the module with NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 all is dandy, I've tried adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc but that seems to be ignored. Any ideas? | 22:46 |
| bolrog | !ask | facemelter | 22:46 |
| ubottu | facemelter: 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. :-) | 22:46 |
| bolrog | Jakob_the_liar: what are you on then? | 22:47 |

| ActionParsnip | !sound | ukd1 | 22:59 |
| ubottu | ukd1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:59 |
| diogo | so... for question how stable is the intrepid... I mean Xorg issue speaking... like mesa 7.1 and DRI2 with ATI Radeon card? | 22:59 |

| Justi1 | does anyone here know how to use virtualbox | 23:00 |
| woli | they prefer consoles... | 23:00 |
| WastePotato | Back. I'm not sure if the following question is suited to this particular channel, but here goes: | 23:00 |
| niriven | Anyone have any favorite linux games? | 23:00 |
| WastePotato | Is there any way to sync your passwords between OS's (Ubuntu/Vista) in Firefox? Does any one know of any add ons which can accomplish this task? | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !vbox | Justi1 | 23:00 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, i do not hate the gui lol... | 23:00 |
| ubottu | Justi1: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 23:00 |

| jonny_ | shock* | 23:01 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, cli? | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | WastePotato, what passwords are you refering to? the ones saved by firefox? | 23:01 |
| WastePotato | Yes. | 23:01 |
| tech_sponge | hey one know a good guide to compliling a kernal for speed | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cli | woli | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !cli | woli | 23:02 |
| ubottu | woli: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:02 |
| dr_willis | WastePotato, well at one time that google browser sync extension could do it.. but i think its out of date now. there may be some other extensions that can do it. | 23:02 |
| aycher | CyberGabber: Thanx.. | 23:02 |
| woli | ahh... command line interface | 23:02 |
| WastePotato | brb | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: yakuake specifically | 23:02 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, how come? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: just makes sense to me. I find it faster | 23:02 |
| dfgas | does data=writeback make your ext3 faster? | 23:02 |
| tech_sponge | any one have a link to compile a kernel for speed? | 23:02 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | envyNG is working right now hop its work :'( | 23:03 |
| woli | ah, i prefer gnome-terminal, ActionParsnip | 23:03 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, its pretty similar... | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: yakuake moves up and down like console in quake / half-life when you press a hot key | 23:03 |
| Strife89 | unop: I'm back, screenshot pastes will come shortly.... | 23:04 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, gnome-terminal has a scroll bar, but i do believe that with page-up and page-down you can scroll also... | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: no this gets out of the way if you press a key | 23:04 |
| Strife89 | unop: First of three: http://picpaste.com/IMGP4640.JPG | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: so yuor terminal can be minimised etc, i just press a key and it descends from the top of the screen | 23:05 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | am very new to ubuntu to all Linux so what i need do do first ???? | 23:05 |
| lejacques | unop: you still around? | 23:05 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, nice | 23:05 |
| Strife89 | unop: Second of three. I did a reboot after this. http://picpaste.com/IMGP4643.JPG | 23:05 |
| woli | in fact, the terminal should be called central | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZsxzjQnZEY | 23:06 |
| Aeron_wwap | for whatever reason Open Office Spreadsheet started crashing on me today. And, now i can't print. When I try to the OO just sort of freezes up. I can only force the program to quit. When I restart the program it says the file (that I had opened before) is able to be recovered, then i'm back to square A again. what can i check? | 23:06 |
| Strife89 | unop: Last one. Rebooted normally after I snapped this one. http://picpaste.com/IMGP4645.JPG | 23:06 |
| dfgas | what is faster reiser4 or ext3? | 23:07 |
| dr_willis | dfgas, may depend on the task its doing. | 23:07 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, wow, i didn't know there was also a yakuake for mac! | 23:07 |
| Strife89 | !seen unop | 23:08 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 23:08 |
| dr_willis | dfgas, theres proberly some benchmarks out on google comparing them all. | 23:08 |
| * woli wrote in gnome-terminal: sudo apt-get install yakuake | 23:08 | |
| ActionParsnip | woli: you could compile it | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: you running linux on a mac | 23:08 |

| ActionParsnip | woli: wow you got money to burn | 23:08 |
| dr_willis | dfgas, i would stick with ext3. less hassles | 23:08 |
| BigBuddha | ty erUSUL | 23:08 |
| dr_willis | dfgas, some of those fs's are faster at like 'deleting' then others.. or others are better at lots of small files, vs few big files.. so its hard to justify using somtng other then ext3 for most 'common' setups | 23:09 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, no... in fact a friend's dad gave it to me... he does shit monet | 23:09 |

| nDuff | dfgas, generally speaking, I'd be worried about data integrity more than performance. | 23:10 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | is there any way to resume the packages downloads ??????????? | 23:10 |
| Strife89 | dfgas, dr_willis: And if you have a slower drive, you won't see much of a difference anyway. | 23:10 |
| dfgas | true | 23:10 |
| WastePotato | What was that? | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | WastePotato, kids got out of school early it seems... | 23:10 |
| BigBuddha | how or where do i add this to the smb.conf file? usershare owner only = False | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Ahmed-Alaa: if you stop halfway, the partial download will be removed but the completed debs will be kept | 23:10 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, you can customize yakuake right? | 23:10 |
| dfgas | Strife89, baracuda 160gig | 23:10 |
| anyone | hi | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: you can colour it | 23:10 |
| anyone | um, i have a question. | 23:11 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, i mean, in transparency and fonts | 23:11 |
| woli | and colors... | 23:11 |
| woli | lol | 23:11 |
| Strife89 | anyone: Ask it. | 23:11 |
| nDuff | dfgas, ReiserFS has a very bad record vis-a-vis integrity -- I've lost multiple partitions due to bugs in its fsck, and there was a *long* time in which they had no bad-block handling whatsoever. | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | woli: no idea, never tried, not that bothered | 23:11 |
| Strife89 | unop: You around? | 23:11 |
| strategy | Hello. Recently installed ubuntu(about.. 3 hours ago) and my screen resolution is 800x600. I'd like to change it to 1024x768, but when i try, the screen starts flickering like mad and only part of it is displayed. I dont know my gfx card name and such, i hope theres a command or somesuch to do this? Thanks =] | 23:11 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | yeah and that the problem my 10kbps net :'( | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, the smb.fonf file is a text file, edit it with 'sudo nano /path/to/smb.conf' and look for that line. perhaps. | 23:11 |
| Strife89 | !resolution | strategy | 23:11 |
| ubottu | strategy: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 23:11 |
| strategy | thanks Strife89 | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, im not on a linxu box right now.. so i cant check my smb.conf to see where its at exactly | 23:12 |
| Strife89 | strategy: Use that command. It'll reboot your system | 23:12 |
| anyone | why does usplash, on here, not work fully? it shows, on here, the boot screen, but then it stops showing and reverts to showing the boot text, like the screen disappears completely for some reason | 23:12 |
| strategy | thanks stirfe :) | 23:12 |
| BigBuddha | dr_willis: ty any way :( | 23:12 |
| Strife89 | strategy: It fixed my problem, with was very much like yours. :) | 23:12 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, backup the smb.conf befor messing with it. | 23:12 |
| anyone | i mean it shows the screen for like 15 seconds or so | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !usplash | anyone | 23:13 |
| ubottu | anyone: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 23:13 |
| unop | lejacques, Strife89 - i'm here now | 23:13 |

| BigBuddha | dr_willis: where do i add that line in the text file? | 23:13 |
| anyone | Strife89: hmm... | 23:13 |
| unop | Strife89, so, were you able to boot up normally after this then? | 23:13 |
| anyone | Strife89: what did you do recently? | 23:13 |
| Strife89 | unop: Need the screenshot links again? And yes. | 23:13 |
| Strife89 | anyone: It's been doing it from day one. | 23:14 |
| anyone | Strife89: ubuntu version? i'm hardy | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | alistair: check your key bindings, you can define any shortcut | 23:14 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, most likey its allready there or mentioned in the very verbose comments in smb.conf search the text file for it , its proberly set to true by defualt. or has a # comment at the start of the line. if true is the default | 23:14 |
| anyone | Strife89: from what ubuntu version specifically | 23:14 |
| unop | Strife89, i just saw your screenshots -- looks like it went smooth -- so if you were able to boot up normally, did scan run at boot? | 23:14 |
| Strife89 | anyone: Upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy two weeks ago. | 23:14 |
| Aeron_wwap | for whatever reason Open Office Spreadsheet started crashing on me today. And, now i can't print. When I try to the OO just sort of freezes up. I can only force the program to quit.

| Strife89 | unop: Yeah....... | 23:14 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, the 'samba-doc' package has a good book/guide on configurung samba also. Worth a read. :) | 23:14 |
| anyone | Strife89: so from gusty this happens? | 23:14 |
| alistair | ActionParsnip, thanks where are the key bindings visible (Amarok shows Win+C) defined | 23:14 |
| anyone | Strife89: happened i mean | 23:15 |
| unop | Strife89, do you have a file at /forcefsck ? | 23:15 |
| BigBuddha | dr_willis: i see it, do i edit it directly in the terminal then? | 23:15 |
| allorder | can someone take a look at my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/42546/ gnome doesnt seem to take my resolution | 23:15 |

| Strife89 | unop: Command, please... | 23:15 |

| strategy | Strife89, does it have anything to do with me not being updated? i'm running 8.04 but it says there are about 106 updates.. | 23:16 |

| ActionParsnip | woli: right click the space in yakuake -> settings | 23:17 |
| woli | ActionParsnip, is there not like a custom color chooser? | 23:18 |
| Strife89 | strategy: You should apply those updates, but I doubt it'll fix the problem if what I had ubottu tell you didn't work. | 23:18 |
| iMatter | Back, Chlouge did you figure it out | 23:18 |
| maxagaz | how to install ubunntu on a 5 years old laptop that can't run on an usb drive, nor on a cd drive but that have a floppy disk drive ? | 23:18 |
| SubOne | I'm having a lot of intermittent issues and I was thinking that this laptop may just be failing somewhere. I was told I should run fsck, but I can't seem to figure out how. man pages say I need to be in single user mode, but when i tried that it still boots up into gnome and the disk is mounted. fsck says not to do it on a mounted disk. any help? | 23:18 |
| unop | Strife89, hmm, i'm out of ideas -- the next thing i would do is enable grub to boot up verbose .. press ESC at the grub screen, select your kernel, press e and remove the splash and quiet words from the end of the line and press ctrl+k to boot .. look at what happens just prior the fsck happens during boot, you might get an indication there | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, err.. so? thats how the nano editor looks.. unless theres some issue you wish to clarify? | 23:19 |
| strategy | ok strife | 23:19 |
| BigBuddha | dr_willis: oh, no i am just completely new to it :) | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, unless you perfer vi, or some other editor.. You could use a gui editor from X if you use gksudo gedit FILENAME | 23:19 |
| WastePotato | Back | 23:19 |
| strategy | Strife89, sorry to be a pain, how do i update? the big red arrow that told me to update before is gone.. :( | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | BigBuddha, but learning how to use ONE console/text editor is worthwhile. | 23:19 |
| Strife89 | unop: It's not doing any harm if I leave it alone, is it (other than adding two minutes to my boot time)? | 23:20 |
| unop | nano needs little learning | 23:20 |

| dr_willis | Friendly_hazard, if you are trying to manually install the nvidia drivers. you may want to try the 'envyng' tool.. but its best to use the normal drivers in the repos. | 23:33 |
| WastePotato | wait a mo | 23:33 |
| Friendly_hazard | dr_willis i did several times but it doesnt work | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | !envy | Friendly_hazard | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Friendly_hazard: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 23:34 |

| Killer--Tux | fidel ask the question | 23:36 |
| Friendly_hazard | and yes i have vmware tools installed | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | Friendly_hazard, well... vmware does NOT USE the nvidia drivers.. it emulates some standard video card. | 23:36 |
| Friendly_hazard | grrr =( | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | Friendly_hazard, you install the vmware tools and thats it... | 23:36 |
| jtucker_co_uk | and vmware tools | 23:36 |
| Friendly_hazard | ahhh k | 23:36 |
| IdleOne | WastePotato: does it work with linux? | 23:37 |

| Friendly_hazard | well i just wanted to install drivers incase i need it for w/e reason but i guess vmware tools is ok | 23:37 |
| sjoerd | Fidel: there are various solutions around already, what do you need specifically | 23:38 |
| dr_willis | Friendly_hazard, 3d Games + vmware = not a good option at this time. Ive heard that vmware is working on geting vmware to use the 3d cards features. but i dont know how well along that is at this time | 23:38 |
| Friendly_hazard | k | 23:38 |

| brettley | dr_willis: where can i find drivers for linux for a 9800gtx? | 23:41 |
| dr_willis | Friendly_hazard, i would set up windows to 'share' the drive. and let the vmwareubuntu acccess it as a samba share. that would be the safest way | 23:41 |
| Riyonuk | I'm even more confused >.> | 23:41 |
| xkpe | dr_willis, in my case is to send send the same input to multiple game instances | 23:41 |

| spunk | What is the proper way to make a backup of a system? including /dev and such... I plan to move the system to another drive... | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | Friendly_hazard, i think there may be another way to do it. with some sort of directory shareing feature of vmare but ive not done it that way | 23:42 |
| basti | ok, i have a 9800xt, so i thought this is ati, too... | 23:42 |
| Justi1 | Riyonuk: application > asscesories > terminal | 23:42 |
| Friendly_hazard | k | 23:42 |
| unop | Strife89, seems to be fine - maybe you should try this. sudo e2fsck -n -f /dev/sda2 # to check the filesystem even if it is clean but do nothing if problems are found. | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | brettley, that hardware-driver tool in the menus should help you install the proper drivers.. i forget its exact name in the menus | 23:42 |
| basti | brettley, why dont you just use envy | 23:42 |
| Riyonuk | Justi1, yes XD | 23:42 |

| dr_willis | gotgnu, technically if they can ping each other..they are networked.. if you want to setup some services, or shares.. thats also doable. | 23:43 |
| unop | spunk, use a live CD .. mount the old drive and new drive to say. /media/old /media/new respectively and run this command. sudo rsync -av /media/old /media/new | 23:44 |
| gotgnu | dr_willis: do I just plug it in ? | 23:44 |
| dxdemetriou | how can I start a service on boot if it refuse to start? | 23:44 |
| dr_willis | gotgnu, you are talking a straight cable from one machine to another with no router? | 23:44 |
| unop | spunk, that will copy the files .. to copy the bootloader (grub) .. sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 # where /dev/sda is the old drive and /dev/sdb is the new one | 23:45 |
| gotgnu | right | 23:45 |
| gotgnu | dr_willis: yes | 23:45 |
| spunk | unop, ok, thanks! | 23:45 |
| Justi1 | Riyonuk: hold on a second | 23:45 |
| olskolirc | where can I get a bootable Gutsy .iso to burn please. | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | gotgnu, well #1 - if the network ports are NOT gigibit , you will need a special crossover network cable.. | 23:45 |
| unop | spunk, actually - to think about it .. do the dd command first, then mount and use rsync afterwards | 23:45 |
| spunk | unop, ok | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | gotgnu, if both are gigibit (1000) speed - then i dont think you need a crossover cable. (or so i hear) | 23:46 |

| dr_willis | brettley, more clarification. For my last ubuntu install on this 8800gtsxxx based system. I just had to run that hardware-drivers tool and clicked a checkbox.. it downloaded the packages and i had to reboot. | 23:54 |
| Strife89 | unop: You there? :) | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | brettley, i do not use the drivers downloaded from nvidia.com and i do not have to use the envy tool. | 23:55 |

| Billenium | Does anyone know how to do ultra compression 7z from the command line? | 23:55 |
| gilspur | I have a question regarding remote desktop. I'm able to remote in when I'm already logged in, but if I reboot, then I have to reconnect my keyboard and mouse to log back in. Is there a way to set it up so I would be able to remote in before being logged in ? | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | brettley, its in the menus. I dont rember its name becuase they changed it last release.. | 23:56 |

| dr_willis | !nvidia | 23:56 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:56 |
| unop | Strife89, yep, that could be the problem -- you will need to get to recovery mode ( boot up in it or use this command sudo telinit 1 ) .. then run the command like this. e2fsck -F -f /dev/sda2 | 23:56 |
| leeping2008 | (I'd like to scroll through the screen back-buffer by using the mouse wheel, as opposed to entering copy mode first... just like how gnome-terminal would do it.) | 23:56 |
| AnemicCarrot | what time is it? | 23:56 |
| dr_willis | brettley, that !nvidia guide says its at System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. | 23:56 |
| unop | Billenium, see the p7zip manpage | 23:56 |
| WastePotato | 23:56 | 23:56 |
| kindofabuzz | AnemicCarrot, date | 23:56 |

| Justi1 | AnemicCarrot: you're just in time | 23:57 |
| strife89_eating_ | unop: Okay, I'll jot that down and try it after dinner. :) | 23:57 |
| Billenium | ah percent unop! | 23:57 |

| brettley | dr_willis: its not showing any drivers.... | 23:57 |
| AnemicCarrot | well, thanks! | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | brettley, it really should of poped up a message on the first boot asking to install the things. what IS your video card exactly? | 23:57 |

| trikdo | Hello all, I installed mozilla-plugin-vlc, but now I don't want to use it... How do I revert back? | 23:57 |

| sorwrith | trying to install ubuntu for a tri boot of Vista, OS X, and ubuntu but ubuntu wont install | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | brettley, not sure about the 9800 series.. that may be too new. You may want to use the envyng tool then | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | !envyng | 23:58 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 23:58 |
