| wildman | tj83, looks like Pulse Audio is the culprit (or somehow the audio system): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/226342 | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 226342 in pulseaudio "pulseaudio module-alsa-sink.c Error..." [Medium,Triaged] | 00:01 |
| wildman | tj83, thx for your ideas :) | 00:01 |
| wildman | ouch... bloody bots... | 00:01 |
| hdz | i got the nvidia-config.tar.gz from nvidia site with the .run file my system already has /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig when i did make the new nvidia-xconfig is bigger, should i overwrite and cp nvidia-xconfig /usr/bin | 00:02 |

| seekingtruth | hello sinners :) | 00:03 |
| boone-ubuntu | ubuntu won't mount my ntfs partition with "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/XP" | 00:03 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, no, just place it in in on line #2 .. shifting everything else downwards if needed | 00:03 |
| phantom1 | I cant find a tut for VMware install on Ubuntu 8.4 | 00:03 |
| boone-ubuntu | it is an ntfs partition and it is sda1, checked with fdisk | 00:03 |
| phantom1 | please help | 00:03 |
| seekingtruth | phantom1: use VirtuALBOX | 00:03 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, and does mount fail with any errors? | 00:03 |
| casao | koshari: what? you mean that drivers are on an application level - ie 2 applicatiosn could use different drivers to access the same device? | 00:03 |
| badman | !I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 00:03 |

| seekingtruth | badman: chill dude | 00:03 |
| MortenB | No news about the freeze issue? | 00:03 |
| phantom1 | seekingtruth: VirtuALBOX = the same as VM ware? | 00:03 |
| casao | phantom1: more or less, yes | 00:04 |
| boone-ubuntu | unop:, yes it says /dev/sda1 is an invalid argument, and it doesn't have a valid ntfs | 00:04 |
| seekingtruth | phantom1: yes, its great | 00:04 |
| linuxguymarshall | How can I make Amarok download ALL my album artwork that has not yet been downloaded without going ablum to album? | 00:04 |
| seekingtruth | phantom1: and it even supports the vmware format | 00:04 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, are you sure you have the right device? use sudo fdisk -l to find out | 00:04 |
| seekingtruth | phantom1: http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 00:04 |
| seekingtruth | phantom1: im runnung Ubuntu on it now | 00:04 |
| boone-ubuntu | fdisk sayd /dev/sda1 is at the begining fo the drive and is HPFS/NTFS | 00:05 |

| tmwnn | I plan to install Ubuntu onto a 8GB usb flashdrive using the Live CD. Once I do that, can I run Ubuntu entirely on the Flash? I do not want to mount any of the drives that are in my laptop. | 00:06 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, can you put the output of this up on a pastebin. sudo fdisk -l | 00:06 |
| koshari | linuxguymarshall use the album art app | 00:06 |
| casao | koshari: that's.... odd. well, shit | 00:06 |
| peeps | is it safe to remove pulseaudio from your system? | 00:06 |
| seekingtruth | phantom1: and everything here is compatible with virtualbox. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | peeps: Yes | 00:07 |
| boone-ubuntu | unop: sorry, with suo it says a lot, http://pastebin.com/m67ef5e88 | 00:07 |
| koshari | casao i also found the image quality varied greatly between some apps, suprising if they were using the same driver | 00:07 |
| peeps | whats the benefit of pulseaudio anyway? | 00:07 |
| peeps | over alsa? | 00:07 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, perhaps try using ntfs-3g instead. sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/XP | 00:08 |
| koshari | peeps pulseaudio is like jack and allows multiple apps to use the hardware concurrently | 00:08 |
| casao | is there an easy way to find the process to a window? tried to run a deb but it's hung and i don't see anything labeled synaptic of apt-get or gnome-open in the process list | 00:08 |
| peeps | koshari: but so does alsa? | 00:08 |
| garou | Good evening. | 00:08 |
| boone-ubuntu | unop: same error, the thing that really confuses me is that /dev/sda1 is an invalid argument | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | peeps: It has a lot of features like redirecting output to other computers on the network, per-application volume control etc, I also think it is needed for gnome sound effects but I never use those anyway | 00:08 |
| koshari | no, if one app has a lock on the hardware a second will report hardware not available | 00:09 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, what are the permissions on /dev/sda1 ? | 00:09 |
| garou | I really need a new GFX card that is definitely supported by current drivers. Can you name any models or tell me what to look out for when going shopping? | 00:09 |
| boone-ubuntu | unop: how do i check? | 00:09 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, ls -l | 00:09 |
| peeps | koshari: ive only ever see oss do that | 00:09 |
| genius | how to determine partition sector count | 00:09 |
| boone-ubuntu | brw-rw---- 1 root | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | koshari: No, alsa allows multiple apps | 00:09 |
| koshari | peeps virtualbox does it | 00:09 |
| peeps | eeh, i don't use virtualbox too often | 00:10 |
| peeps | interesting though | 00:10 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, hmm. maybe this. pmount-hal /dev/sda1 | 00:10 |
| koshari | peeps it was just an example. pulse may not be perfect yet but in time i guess it will have more app support, remember the purose of puls is not to replace alsa | 00:10 |
| padlefotf | I'm having problems getting twinview to work with my ATI card, and it doesnt seem to be any good guides out there, someone know if this is hard? | 00:11 |

| koshari | peeps i guess because jack is a bit of a mess | 00:13 |

| leFou_ | *his | 00:13 |
| dVs | can anyone help me with this ? | 00:13 |

| leFou_ | anyone know if that's possible on the livecd? | 00:14 |
| FL1cK | wait | 00:14 |

| padlefotf | cant I use nvidia-settings with ATI cards to set up TwinView? Anyone? | 00:14 |
| dVs | i tried searching but they are all old posts and say they fixed the bug at the end :/ | 00:14 |
| Kopfgeldjaeger | FL1cK: yes, with wine. | 00:14 |
| unop | boone-ubuntu, /dev/sda1 is a fixed drive right? | 00:14 |
| koshari | peeps wine doesnt have pulse support yet, its still jack orientated, | 00:14 |
| FL1cK | okay, | 00:14 |
| Kopfgeldjaeger | padlefotf: isnt twinview nvidia-specifc? | 00:14 |
| freeflowcauvery | leFou_, what java package do you plan to install? | 00:14 |
| FL1cK | and is there anyway to install ubuntu without losing all of my files but still getting rid of windows? | 00:14 |
| dVs | when i try to use a password to connect to the vnc server on my other computer it says auth faile but with no pasword i can connect .. any ideas ? | 00:15 |
| leFou_ | freeflowcauvery, sun-java6-jre | 00:15 |
| dVs | FL1cK backup | 00:15 |
| fyrestrtr | FL1cK: yes, take a backup. | 00:15 |
| koshari | FL1cK yes, backup>resize>install | 00:15 |
| FL1cK | how do i do that? | 00:15 |
| padlefotf | Kopfgeldjager: thats what i thought, but i found a guide in the ubuntuforums that suggests it | 00:15 |
| dVs | bern dvds | 00:15 |
| FL1cK | im on vista currently. | 00:15 |
| fyrestrtr | FL1cK: copy your files onto an external disk, device, or media. | 00:15 |
| compu73rg33k | unop: sorry i had to go eat dinner - but yes the computer (used to) pick up an IP right away when I would unplug the computer's cable - but now that doesn't work anymore | 00:15 |
| leFou_ | freeflowcauvery, or any other that works... | 00:15 |
| koshari | FL1cK regardless of the OS the first step is still BACKUP | 00:15 |
| FL1cK | okay | 00:16 |
| FL1cK | and how do i clear my HD so i can reinstall | 00:16 |
| FL1cK | like how do i whipe my HD so i can install ubuntu | 00:16 |
| === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale | ||
| Pirate_Hunter | FL1cK: use livecd to do that | 00:17 |
| koshari | FL1cK what i did to dual boot vista was partimage the partitiion, delete vista partition create new smaller ntfs partition, then put the partinmage back on that image, as i have a OEM acer restore disc rather than an install one | 00:17 |
| FL1cK | so just burn it onto a disk and it will do the rest for me? | 00:17 |
| unop | compu73rg33k, does rebooting the machine help? | 00:17 |
| compu73rg33k | no, not even reinstalling the OS helps - apparently that's hurt it actually and now the laptop won't even connect when the computer isn't plugged in | 00:18 |
| koshari | FL1cK if you want to dual boot ie stil have vista available you should check one of the many guides availabe | 00:18 |
| leFou_ | freeflowcauvery? do you have a solution? | 00:18 |
| compu73rg33k | dmesg | tail says "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" | 00:18 |
| FL1cK | no, i dont want to dual boot. | 00:18 |
| compu73rg33k | and "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" not sure what that means | 00:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop, it seem to be working dont know if it is that change i made or because this time i run it through synaptic choosing option "fix broken package" either way it works, thanks for your time | 00:18 |
| FL1cK | I want the easiest way to reformat with ubuntu without losing my files and having my drivers work. | 00:18 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, ahh well | 00:19 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, :) | 00:19 |
| koshari | FL1cK if you have backed up ALL your data somple follew the install prompts | 00:19 |
| FL1cK | and will my drivers and shit work | 00:19 |
| FL1cK | ? | 00:19 |
| koshari | FL1cK and ubuntu uses its own drivers, not windows ones | 00:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | FL1cK: aint you asking for too much there... | 00:19 |
| FL1cK | Pirate_Hunter: lol your right :) | 00:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | FL1cK | 00:20 |
| koshari | FL1cK boot of the live disc and you will see pretty quick if your hardware is supported | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | padlefotf: i would be highly suspect of that guide if it tells you to use nvidia-settings(think about it) and twinview w/ an ATI card | 00:20 |
| lazukars | I am a complete newbie, so please bear with me. What is the easiest way to open the shell in Ubuntu? | 00:21 |

| Pirate_Hunter | lazukars: alt+f2 type gnome-terminal | 00:22 |
| koshari | leFou_ you should be able to providing it dont need a reboot | 00:22 |
| padlefotf | IndyGunFreak: You might be right, but it wouldnt supprise me if it worked. know of any good ways to configure it btw? | 00:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | padlefotf: it would surprise me if it worked. | 00:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | padlefotf: if you want to use nvidia-settings, use an nvidia card | 00:22 |
| padlefotf | IndyGunFreak: yeah ur probably right. isnt there any tools similar but for ati? | 00:23 |
| koshari | IndyGunFreak i am suprised even when ati cards work with 3d in linux let alone twinview | 00:23 |
| Danny | anyone | 00:23 |
| BrokenMachine | yea | 00:23 |
| Danny | im trying to create a startup script in the rc?.d/ to contain all my static routes from a link to a file /etc/init.d/staticroutes can anyone help ????? | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | koshari: true, i never got dualscreens to work w/ ATI, and i put a substantial effort into it.. finally gave up and went nvidia, and it takes me all of 20sec after a clean install. | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | padlefotf: no, ati pretty much sucks for Linux(although thatshould change in the future) | 00:24 |
| koshari | IndyGunFreak this may change in the future not ati are taking a different path with drivers but i wont be holding my breath | 00:24 |
| lazukars | Pirate_Hunter:thanks so much. Also this is probably a very stupid question, but where is the menu on Ubuntu? I can not find it. | 00:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | koshari: i'm hopeful | 00:24 |

| padlefotf | IndyGunFreak, envy took care of it, guess i was lucky with that one | 00:26 |
| maxagaz | hi | 00:27 |
| lazukars | thanks for the correction koshari. That is one thing that I am confused about when learning unix. What is the terminal? and what is the difference between the terminal and shell? | 00:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | padlefotf: lol, yeha, you were lucky all right, right up until envy does a number on your system. | 00:27 |
| Denise | where is the sesame open up? | 00:27 |
| maxagaz | i've got a usb hard drive which is unrecognized in gparted, how can i rescue all the data that are inside ? | 00:28 |
| bobertdos | lazukars: The terminal is the command line interface, the place to issue text-based commands. | 00:28 |
| padlefotf | IndyGunFreak, lucky for me i have nvidia then, works right out the box;) guess ill have to turn my phone off when my pal calls me next time | 00:28 |
| leFou_ | koshari, but it wont becuase it keeps referring me to other packages | 00:28 |
| Denise | Im so happy my bios regconize it | 00:28 |
| koshari | lazukars technically the shell is an application called bash (born again shell) but the terminal is fine when refering to it. | 00:28 |
| prince_jammys | lazukars: the shell is the actual interpreter that parses your commands. the terminal is just the interface. | 00:28 |
| leFou_ | koshari, and they're all unavailable for dwld | 00:28 |

| mn | Ok, I am dual booting Win XP and Kubuntu 8.04.1 KDE 4. I downloaded the ndiswrapper (on XP because I have my drivers installed on it) and put it on a flash drive. I booted Kubuntu and extracted ndiswrapper. Then I went and read the file it gives about how to install it. I followed the directions word for word (except it didn't say make uninstall and make as root but I had to because I didn't... | 00:35 |
| mn | ...have sufficient permission otherwise). However, on the make and make install parts I kept getting errors, but I kept going. When it got to the part to install the driver ("ndiswrapper -i driver.inf"), I was notified that ndiswrapper wasn't installed and I needed to apt-get it. Well, that won't work because the whole reason I need it is to connect to the internet (apt-get and surf and... | 00:35 |
| mn | ...stuff). I can't figure out what the problem is. (BTW I also tried sudo apt-get while booted on the liveCD and logged-in on Kubuntu with the disk in the drive.) Any ideas? | 00:35 |
| bobertdos | coderipper: If you would rather reformat completely, then like kindofabuzz said, use gparted. | 00:36 |
| slacker_nl | sorry, 6.10 to 7.04 | 00:36 |

| Cpudan80 | slacker_nl: to 8.04 yes, 7.04 yes (although why you would only go up to 7.04 I don't know) | 00:38 |

| slacker_nl | Cpudan80: the idea is to upgrade to 8.x, but I don't want to try to upgrade from 6.x to 8.x | 00:39 |

| Cpudan80 | slacker_nl: you can go all the way to 8 --- 7.04 would be the next distro in sequence anyway | 00:39 |

| Cpudan80 | slacker_nl: hrm.... maybe thats no longer available (7.04 is old) | 00:41 |
| Cpudan80 | slacker_nl: you could try downloading the alternate 7.04 CD and running the upgrade off the disk | 00:41 |
| beeman_nl | here it is http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/ | 00:42 |

| Buzzons | quick question :: how do you stop network manager changing your ip randomly? (at least i assume it is network manager) i have two network cards, each on a different subnet, each set to static ip. earlier tonight the 2nd droped it's ip and picked up an ip from 1st's subnet via dhcp. only a restart of the networking interfaces set the ip's back to the correct ones set in the config file | 00:44 |
| SurfnKid | hello can anyone help me i have a strange problem | 00:44 |
| Flare183 | !ask | SurfnKid | 00:44 |
| ubottu | SurfnKid: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:44 |
| kindofabuzz | Buzzons, why not just set your static ip for your computers in your router and just use dhcp in ubuntu | 00:44 |
| kindofabuzz | that's if your router supports it | 00:45 |
| tstiffler88 | anyone here know of a mirror for google chrome? I want to download it and do some testing and playing with it on my ubuntu comp | 00:45 |
| SurfnKid | I've recently not used a computer | 00:45 |
| SurfnKid | and now that I start it up | 00:45 |
| SurfnKid | i get a strange message | 00:45 |
| maltepalte | i am just trying out a new ubuntu server 8.04 install (64 bit) and am running into some problems with php - it seems php on this ubuntu machine is just leaking memory like crazy | 00:45 |
| kindofabuzz | tstiffler88, it's not out for linux yet | 00:45 |
| SurfnKid | cannot get hostname via gethostbysomething | 00:45 |
| SurfnKid | I will get the exact message | 00:45 |
| vinicius | hi! Can I normally use the no-ip package in a network with a router? | 00:45 |
| maltepalte | the same app that takes about 2.5 MB on my OSX workstation consumes around 12 MB on the ubuntu server | 00:46 |
| tstiffler88 | kindofabuzz: I know, but it may work with WINE or at least I can look at the code | 00:46 |
| maltepalte | does anyone have any idea what is going on here? | 00:46 |
| Flare183 | SurfnKid: Well get the exact message and then we might be able to help more. | 00:46 |
| kindofabuzz | tstiffler88, google it | 00:46 |
| Buzzons | kindofabuzz :: yea it supports it -- but surely setting an ip to static in ubuntu should mean it is _Static) | 00:46 |
| Flare183 | !google | kindofabuzz | 00:46 |
| ubottu | kindofabuzz: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux | 00:46 |

| Buzzons | kindofabuzz :: aye i could do that, but it just sounds a bit.. silly that ubuntu can't hold an ip | 00:48 |
| theunixgeek | !anyone | TheKiNG | 00:48 |
| ubottu | TheKiNG: 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? | 00:48 |
| TheKiNG | ... | 00:48 |
| kindofabuzz | Buzzons, yeah, i think that's why i went the router way | 00:48 |
| jrib | TheKiNG: libgtk2.0-dev ? | 00:48 |
| theunixgeek | TheKiNG: just because someone knows how to use them doesn't mean they'll be able to answer your question ;) | 00:48 |
| TheKiNG | =p | 00:48 |
| jrib | theunixgeek: libgtk2.0-dev ? | 00:48 |
| TheKiNG | How do you make iptables block all ports excecpt 10000, 22, and 21 | 00:48 |
| Buzzons | fair play kindofabuzz , if there's no way to make ubuntu behave I will give that a go.. it should work :) -- quite shocked however that ubuntu doesn't like static ip addresses | 00:48 |
| theunixgeek | jrib: yes, for developing gtk+ apps | 00:49 |
| Buzzons | TheKiNG : in/out? | 00:49 |
| jrib | theunixgeek: yes, the package is libgtk2.0-dev | 00:49 |

| WastePotato | What make is it? | 00:57 |
| jrib | !firestarter | TheKiNG | 00:57 |
| danielm_mc | just deny everything and allow a couple | 00:57 |
| ubottu | TheKiNG: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 00:57 |
| danielm_mc | ufw is whack | 00:57 |
| TheKiNG | im using ubuntu server edition | 00:57 |
| VSG1990 | just says wireless interface | 00:57 |

| WastePotato | yes, try tat. | 00:58 |
| WastePotato | that* | 00:58 |
| danielm_mc | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-4-block-all-incoming-traffic-but-allow-ssh.html | 00:58 |
| danielm_mc | you just want dport to be 1001 10000 22 80 or wtfe | 00:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | TheKiNG: i cant really tell you, its better if you just go through that and learn how to do it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall | 00:59 |
| VSG1990 | wow it says gemtek | 00:59 |
| WastePotato | ??? I've never heard of that brand before. | 00:59 |

| Syco54645_AAO | hellow, how do i see the power management set on my wireless card? | 01:07 |
| WastePotato | How much RAM? | 01:08 |
| jrib | alistair: ok. If I create two notes: note1 containing "beach" and note2 containing "beach motel" and search for "beach motel" without quotes, it only returns note2 | 01:08 |
| VSG1990 | WastePotato: umm 1 gb i think | 01:08 |

| TheKiNG | then it says bad port | 01:09 |
| jrib | TheKiNG: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying | 01:09 |
| alistair | jrib, sec Ill just run it off terminal again and find out whats the probnby | 01:10 |

When the server was running from my room and i was able to login via login screen and vnc into it through my laptop. but when i moved it to my garage for connectivity and started my machine up I cant login via login screen cause i have no monitor set up out there and the vnc wont connect | 01:10 |
| VSG1990 | WastePotato: yes but it is older, so it might not come up, i did find it on the actual compaq website | 01:11 |
| VSG1990 | WastePotato: it matches perfectly, but it says broadcom | 01:11 |
| alistair | jrib, maybe because : Unable to locate 'gnomesu' in your PATH | 01:11 |
| VSG1990 | WastePotato: maybe i looked up the manufactuer of the card wrong here is the first six characters 00:14:a5 | 01:12 |

| jrib | alistair: you installed tomboy through APT? It may not like kde :/ | 01:15 |
| alistair | jrib, re search pse try putting on same note beach and beaches motel then do the same search think youll find it will highlight both. | 01:15 |
| bobertdos | brad__: f you wanted to totally start from scratch, you could delete the metacity and gnome (hidden) folders in your home directory. | 01:16 |

| gregthe1 | Hey, does the remote desktop viewer (Vinagre) have a listen mode? | 01:40 |
| jrib | Syco54645_AAO: it should. Tell us more about the script. Does it start ok from a shell now? | 01:40 |
| d3sign | It seems i cant even putty to it | 01:40 |
| Vock | any other ideas or just keep guessing different partitions until i don't get the Error 17? | 01:41 |
| Vock | there's really only 2 partitions it could be | 01:41 |
| Syco54645_AAO | jrib: it starts fine in a terminal within x. if you try to go to tty1 (ctrl alt f1) then it fails because it requires x. | 01:41 |
| jrib | Syco54645_AAO: check ~/.xsession-errors | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | d3sign, the ssh server is not installed by default. | 01:42 |
| gregthe1 | Hey all, just wondering, does the remote desktop viewer (Vinagre) have a listen mode? | 01:42 |

| hocmin | danielm_mc: what do I need, just the "twinview" part? | 01:52 |
| danielm_mc | yeah pretty much | 01:52 |
| brightwebworks | LSD|Ninja: thanks for the tip. ehehe | 01:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jrib: that will show me all my apps installed? | 01:52 |
| danielm_mc | jrib - both dpkg + aptitude won't show _ALL_ packages installed on a system | 01:52 |
| danielm_mc | only the ones that those apps track | 01:52 |
| jrib | danielm_mc: what will they miss? | 01:52 |
| danielm_mc | or were used to install packacges | 01:52 |
| danielm_mc | jrib: anything built from source | 01:52 |
| danielm_mc | dpkg -l could theoretically show more | 01:53 |
| jrib | danielm_mc: packages implies deb to me | 01:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | danielm_mc: ty | 01:53 |
| strategy | Quick dumb q, i changed to 1024x768 resolution, and now all my icons at the top left are re-arranged.(off button, date/time, etc) is this normal/how can i correct it? thanks =] | 01:53 |
| danielm_mc | jrib: yeah i hear you, but the question was about all apps installed on a system | 01:53 |
| === david is now known as Guest17133 | ||
| jrib | Pirate_Hunter: dpkg/aptitude will only know about deb packages you installed | 01:54 |
| yoyoned | anybody know whick of these modules is for a SATA dvd http://pastebin.com/f637bcac7 | 01:54 |
| jrib | danielm_mc: thanks, good point :) | 01:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jrib: ty daniel's seems easier to remember | 01:54 |
| hocmin | danielm_mc: so, before I restart X.... All I did was add twinview. Is there a config util that I'll be working with once I restart X? | 01:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jrib: yah thats np | 01:54 |
| danielm_mc | hocmin : ummm no i don't think you need to do anything else | 01:55 |
| danielm_mc | everything should just autodetect | 01:55 |
| danielm_mc | i think ? | 01:55 |
| hydroponic | Is there any way to unrar archives compressed using winrar 3.x WITHOUT using the proprietary rar app? | 01:56 |
| hocmin | danielm_mc: so is twinview just duplicating the same thing on both screens? What if I want an extended desktop | 01:56 |
| jrib | hydroponic: what happened with my suggestion? | 01:56 |
| rhY | hi, I'm getting a usbfs error trying to hook up usb in virtualbox. | 01:56 |
| danielm_mc | hocmin : it shouldn't clone ; it should be one huge desktop | 01:56 |
| zhz | /join ubuntu-cn | 01:56 |
| Jakob_the_liar | im trying to use lkl but there is nothing in /usr/share/keymaps | 01:56 |
| rhY | I've already edited mountdevsubfs.sh...... | 01:56 |
| danielm_mc | are you getting the same thing on both screens with twinview option? | 01:56 |
| hocmin | danielm_mc: so how is left/right side configured? | 01:56 |
| hydroponic | jrib: Package unrar has no installation candidate | 01:56 |
| Jakob_the_liar | are they stored in another directory sometimes? | 01:56 |
| rhY | do I need to do something else? | 01:56 |
| Jakob_the_liar | or how to i get them | 01:56 |
| jrib | hydroponic: enable multiverse....... | 01:56 |
| hocmin | danielm_mc: I haven't restarted X yet | 01:56 |
| hydroponic | ah, missed that, sec | 01:56 |
| danielm_mc | yah restart X | 01:57 |
| hocmin | ok | 01:57 |
| Jakob_the_liar | where do i get keymaps? | 01:58 |
| Jakob_the_liar | or where else are they stored besides /usr/share | 01:59 |
| jrib | hydroponic: after you install that, you can use the gui and just double click on a rar or right click -> extract here | 02:00 |
| hydroponic | jrib: Thing is, there's no GUI. This is for a server and it's Debian Etch, not Ubuntu | 02:00 |
| IntangibleLiquid | I got b43-fwcutter but then tried ndiswrapper without success, now I don't know how to get wifi back. Any idea? | 02:00 |
| hydroponic | File-roller works for me locally | 02:00 |
| jrib | hydroponic: unrar should give you a shell command, but you should be asking in #debian | 02:00 |
| duiu | Can Evolution do IMAP? | 02:00 |
| hydroponic | jrib: Is the unrar shell command "unrar" ? | 02:01 |
| jrib | hydroponic: yeah | 02:01 |
| kooNewton | duiu,yes | 02:01 |
| hydroponic | hmm, is this the non-free version right? | 02:01 |
| jrib | hydroponic: yes | 02:01 |
| Doonz | Hey guys, Is there a program that i can use to monitor my raid set up? | 02:01 |
| hydroponic | ok, thanks | 02:01 |
| Jakob_the_liar | is there a way that i can make a script to run a command that requires root privs so that i wont have to type the password | 02:02 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: read 'man sudo' and search for NOPASSWD | 02:02 |
| Jakob_the_liar | like instead of sudo lkl and it asking i could put the password in the script | 02:02 |

| Zopiac1 | any idea how to remove or change the NVidia splash when you load the login screen?? | 02:04 |
| BunTai | but i dont know wether theres a wireless network around my office | 02:04 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: if your card is set up, you should see a list of networks when you click on that | 02:04 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: sorry, 'man sudoers' | 02:04 |
| BunTai | i dont know how to check it | 02:04 |

| BunTai | im using acer aspire 4520 | 02:05 |
| Zopiac1 | lemont: its not in system, i dont think, (not using gnome right now...) | 02:05 |
| Lemont | I think I'm using X | 02:05 |
| Zopiac1 | lemont is there a multimedia category? | 02:06 |
| Lemont | yes | 02:06 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: ok, try 'system > administration > hardware drivers and see if it mentions wireless in there | 02:06 |
| compengi | Zopiac1, you mean the Nvidia logo screen at startup? | 02:06 |
| BunTai | ok wait | 02:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: You want to pump up the volume? | 02:06 |
| hydroponic | jrib: that worked, thank you! | 02:06 |
| Zopiac1 | compengi: ya | 02:06 |
| Lemont | yes | 02:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: Right click the volume icon, hit open volume control | 02:06 |
| jrib | hydroponic: no problem | 02:07 |
| Lemont | i don't see a volume icon | 02:07 |
| BunTai | there's three thing in there | 02:07 |
| Jakob_the_liar | jrib, im not really understanding this | 02:07 |
| Lemont | CpuDan86: I don't see a volume icon | 02:07 |
| BunTai | all is in use | 02:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: hrm.... do you have a sound card installed? | 02:07 |
| BunTai | wasnt that right? | 02:07 |
| Lemont | yes, onboard | 02:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | BunTai: What wireless chip, Broadcom? | 02:07 |
| BunTai | atheros | 02:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: does it play sound? | 02:07 |
| Doonz | Hey guys, Is there a program that i can use to monitor my raid set up? | 02:07 |
| Lemont | Cpudan86: yes | 02:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: ie. does it work in ubuntu | 02:07 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: so there was a driver for your wireless and you installed it? | 02:08 |
| Lemont | Cpudan86: yes, I have sound, just not as loud as other devices going into the same amp | 02:08 |
| BunTai | atheros hardware acces layer | 02:08 |
| BunTai | yes | 02:08 |
| Spencerical | hi | 02:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | BunTai: In that it's working, just connect to the network you want in network manager | 02:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: your panels must be messed up then --- open a terminal and type gnome-volume-control | 02:08 |

| Jakob_the_liar | what exactly does that mean? | 02:08 |
| Jakob_the_liar | is ray the user? | 02:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: from there - hit edit, preferences and check PCM | 02:08 |

| Spencerical | has anyone been successful on compilling chromium in ubuntu yet? | 02:08 |
| mftom | hey guys whats up?? im looking to change my theme on ubuntu and was wondering what the difference was between gtk 1.x, gtk 2.x and gdm? | 02:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: and any things with master in them | 02:09 |
| BunTai | yup zcat[1] | 02:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: Once you have all that stuff viewable, you can adjust what you need | 02:09 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: you'll have to read up, I really don't know without reading man sudoers again | 02:09 |
| BunTai | i dont know wether i setup my wireless right or wrong | 02:09 |
| cotton | is there ANY posibility to have two network cards in my box, and make one share the internet and the other receive it? is that posible? | 02:09 |
| BunTai | :( | 02:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Lemont: I wouldnt go higher than say 80% on the PCM | 02:09 |
| undertow | hola :) | 02:09 |
| Zopiac1 | cotton: why? | 02:09 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: Hmmmm.. OK. One thing you might try, sometimes there's a button on the laptop that turns the wireless adapter on and off (my acer has it) | 02:09 |
| Jakob_the_liar | where do i set these tags jrib ? | 02:10 |
| LSD|Ninja | BunTai: Once you have the hardware working, it;s a simple matter of clicking the netwiork manager icon, slecting the network you want, entering the right details, making sure save is checked and clicking OK | 02:10 |
| Jakob_the_liar | /etc/sudoers? | 02:10 |
| BunTai | wait | 02:10 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: sudo visudo will let you edit /etc/sudoers safely | 02:10 |
| BunTai | i wanna print screen | 02:10 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: otherwise you probably need to go through the stuff in !wireless which generally isn't fun | 02:10 |
| cotton | cause I have to do it..i have my server running perfectly...but i cant put it online for the outside world...i cant pass the router...no matter if i forward the ports.....cant do it.....it wont go....so Im thinking to put the box directly to the internet, and use the box as the router...what do you guys think? is that posible? | 02:10 |
| mftom | what is gtk, gdm and metacity? | 02:11 |
| Jakob_the_liar | it doesnts say what rushmore is jrib | 02:11 |
| cotton | Zopiac1: ^^ | 02:11 |
| Spencerical | Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Indianapolis, Indiana and Columbus is the capital of Ohio There's Montgomery, Alabama south of Helena, Montana Then there's Denver, Colorado under Boise, Idaho Texas has Austin, then we go north To Massachusetts, Boston and Albany, New York Tallahassee, Florida and Washington D.C. Santa Fe, New Mexico and Nashville, Tennessee | 02:11 |
| Zopiac1 | uhhhh... lol you dont need multiple ports, or at least shouldnt... | 02:11 |
| duiu | mftom: GDM is the gnome display manager, it's what you see when you login and are using gnome (the desktop enviroment) | 02:11 |
| azhar27 | mftom use wikipedia for more information. | 02:11 |
| cotton | no..i tried to forward 80 to 80...no dice....80 to 81...nadda | 02:11 |
| poormanjo | hello all | 02:12 |
| cotton | it wont let me | 02:12 |
| === elvin is now known as mwright | ||
| Zopiac1 | hmm wierd | 02:12 |
| cotton | i can acces the router from the outside world | 02:12 |
| === mwright is now known as mdwright | ||
| cotton | but cant access the server within that LAN | 02:12 |
| mftom | so GDM is the login theme? | 02:12 |
| cotton | tell me about it | 02:12 |
| cotton | i almost cried last night | 02:12 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: most routers have an option to expose the config page to the WAN | 02:12 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: most use 8081 | 02:12 |
| theCarpenter3 | i need to loudly proclaim that i am an idiot | 02:12 |
| undertow | i have a question about my system...since doing some of the automatic updates (that ended up not being able to finish) i am unable to boot my system...it comes up to the Ubuntu loading screen, takes a really long time, and then just brings up a screen that says (initramfs)...searching online i didn't find anything that was able to help with the issue...i'm kind of an ubuntu n00b...can anyone help? | 02:12 |
| theCarpenter3 | i feel like a worthless piece of human garbage right now | 02:13 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: you can't do a port forward on port 80 back the router itself, that doesnt make sense | 02:13 |
| theCarpenter3 | and i need to proclaim it loudly in a very public medium | 02:13 |
| cotton | YEah, i was able to access the router Cpudan80 no problem at all, but i cant access the server within that LAN | 02:13 |
| poormanjo | does anyone have a bridge setup? | 02:13 |
| theCarpenter3 | does this qualify as an appropriate and sufficiently public medium? | 02:13 |
| Jakob_the_liar | how do i see what groups im in? | 02:13 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: within the LAN? | 02:13 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: might be hostname | 02:13 |
| BunTai | there is a wireless icon..but i cant click it like wired icon | 02:13 |
| cotton | Cpudan80: what do you mean man? | 02:13 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: 'groups' | 02:13 |
| BunTai | why | 02:13 |
| Jakob_the_liar | yea i think so jrib thanks | 02:13 |
| BunTai | hurm | 02:13 |
| speedy_ | http://www.google.co.uk/chrome/?hl=en-GB | 02:13 |
| cotton | I have a router......and i have a server inside that LAN | 02:13 |
| BunTai | this wireless make me dizzy | 02:13 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: huh? | 02:13 |
| cotton | i want to access that server | 02:13 |
| BunTai | zz | 02:14 |
| Jakob_the_liar | how do i add myself to sudo group jrib ? | 02:14 |
| poormanjo | i hang my USB-WIFI in a USB-HUB out the window, and need to go through my ubuntu box, to a PS3 | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: And you cant get at it from the LAN? | 02:14 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and will that present a security issue? | 02:14 |
| cotton | yes i can! | 02:14 |
| mftom | what is gtk exactly? | 02:14 |
| cotton | but not from outside world | 02:14 |
| Vock | Reinstalled windows, and grub left. Tried to go and manually reinstal grub, but I keep getting Error 22: No such partition. after I try to setup the root partition. LiveCD shows me all my partitions, but the installer doesn't for some reason | 02:14 |
| cotton | not http...nadda | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: OK - so you want to access it from the WAN | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: Most ISPs block port 80 | 02:14 |
| cotton | exactly...im sorry for my ignorance | 02:14 |
| poormanjo | i already downloaded bridge-utils | 02:14 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: there should only be one 'network' icon and if you have wireless it will list all the APs when you click it (the other option there will be 'wired network') | 02:14 |
| cotton | and my bad english | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: So, you have to access it like http://yourPublicWANIP:8080 | 02:14 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: and when you're connected it changes from two computers to a signal-bar | 02:15 |
| cotton | ok..when i try that...i get the Configuration thingy of the router | 02:15 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: setup your router to forward WAN 8080 TCP --> (Server IP) port 80 TCP | 02:15 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone ever installed Guild Wars under Ubuntu? is it supposed to take this long? | 02:15 |
| BunTai | i cant print screen | 02:15 |
| BunTai | i want to show u all | 02:15 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: right, because your router is exposing itself on 8080, use 8081 instead | 02:15 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: Is it a linksys box? | 02:15 |
| BunTai | there two..wired network n wireless network | 02:15 |
| compengi | Zopiac1, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.cong and add in the Section "Device" that contains Driver "nvidia" this line Option "NoLogo" "true" | 02:15 |
| BunTai | but i cant click wireless network..no function | 02:16 |
| cotton | Cpudan80: sorry, i didnt get that... I have a linksys router...and I can find the port thing in Gaming etc.. | 02:16 |
| Zopiac1 | compengi: i cant just change the image? | 02:16 |
| kartoffelmensch | anyone knows why "xterm -font -fontname-" distort the terminal window? | 02:16 |
| cotton | what do i do? and to where? | 02:16 |
| cotton | hehe | 02:16 |
| cotton | sorry | 02:16 |
| sucrack | buenas noches | 02:16 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: because the wireless adapter hasn't seen any access points so nothing to connect to? | 02:16 |
| Zopiac1 | compengi: and its .conf, not .cong ;) | 02:16 |
| compengi | Zopiac1, nope. it's integrated in the driver install | 02:16 |
| jhaby | sup everyone | 02:16 |
| Jakob_the_liar | jrib, once i've edited sudoers do i need to reload something? | 02:16 |
| Jakob_the_liar | im still getting a password | 02:16 |
| compengi | Zopiac1, yeah.. typo | 02:16 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: It's under apps & gaming -- port triggering | 02:16 |
| Zopiac1 | lol | 02:16 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: not sure | 02:16 |
| Jakob_the_liar | Have to be root to perform a iopl()! | 02:16 |
| Jakob_the_liar | iopl? | 02:17 |
| cotton | is it port triggering or port forwarding? now im confused | 02:17 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: are you near an access point? | 02:17 |
| cotton | lol | 02:17 |
| danielm_mc | did that dude with the twinview question ever make it back? | 02:17 |
| BunTai | no...in my office has a wireless connection and lan connection too..both of it useable | 02:17 |
| brightwebworks | Is anybody here using BitchX? | 02:17 |
| BunTai | yup | 02:17 |
| BunTai | near | 02:17 |
| jhaby | i've got a problem with my nvidia video driver | 02:17 |
| jhaby | anyone help? | 02:17 |
| brightwebworks | I need to know how to split the screen in two so I can have 2 channels simultaneously | 02:17 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: It's both | 02:17 |
| rogue1 | HA! I figured out how to join... Hello everyone. | 02:17 |
| woli | help! ubuntu does not detect that my screen can use a bigger resolution than 800x600 !! | 02:18 |
| BunTai | i read many article problem about my acer aspire 4520 wireless Atheros.. | 02:18 |
| BunTai | :( | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: the trigger should be 8081 to 8081 foward 80 to 80 | 02:18 |
| zcat[1] | BunTai: weird. your AP should show up then. Open a terminal and type 'iwconfig' and pastebin the result? | 02:18 |
| brightwebworks | woli: Run on recovery mode...then use XFIX..it will show up on the screen... | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: the port range forward should be 80 --> server IP | 02:18 |
| cotton | Cpudan80: man, i didnt try that last night | 02:18 |
| cotton | if that works im going to love you | 02:18 |
| koshari | how do you hide the channel messages in xchat? | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | cotton: It it might be 8081 in the port range forward -- I cant remember | 02:18 |
| strategy | woli, that problem appears to be fairly common. try googling for "Ubuntu resolution [your gfx card name here]" | 02:18 |
| woli | brightwebworks, well, i'm in normal mode... but in 800x600, can't i run xfix from here? | 02:18 |
| BunTai | where to paste? | 02:18 |
| zcat[1] | !pastebin | 02:18 |
| brightwebworks | woli: never tried | 02:18 |
| 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) | 02:18 |
| BunTai | here? | 02:18 |
| compengi | BunTai, in pastebin | 02:19 |
| poormanjo | will bridge-utils let me do a bridge where i go from wireless-to-wired? | 02:19 |
| BunTai | ok | 02:19 |
| jhaby | ive got a gtx 260 vid card. i install the driver and restart the gdm and everything is hunky dory until i restart. i get an error saying im runing in low graphics mode. | 02:19 |
| undertow | anyone able to help with why my system fails to boot and only shows (initramfs) on boot? I believe it has something to do with loading a fat partition i have windows running on, but am unableto troubleshoot this issue | 02:19 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: mine "just worked". Can you paste the line you are using? | 02:19 |
| jhaby | what can i do | 02:19 |
| strategy | woli, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video | 02:19 |
| brightwebworks | woli: I had the same problem as you and I ran on recovery mode. It then gave me an option to fix the screen size. I did and it now works. But you have to have support for your video card on your kernel. | 02:19 |

| Cpudan80 | woli: there is no safe mode | 02:26 |
| Jakob_the_liar | i want to be able to make lkl able to run with one letter in case i need to key log in a hurry | 02:26 |
| TDKenyon | koshari: Thank you, I've been trying to setup LIRC but I can only find instructions for specific applications (MythTV, Elisa, etc.) | 02:26 |
| theCarpenter | lol | 02:26 |
| jrib | Jakob_the_liar: alias l='sudo lkl' add that to your ~/.bashrc | 02:26 |
| wols | woli: explain what you want to do | 02:26 |
| woli | Cpudan80, some guys told me there was | 02:26 |
| Cpudan80 | woli: If you are talking booting XP safe mode, then its the same way as before - except you hit XP on the grub menu and IMMEDIATELY hit F8 like crazy | 02:26 |
| BunTai | how | 02:26 |
| Cpudan80 | woli: Some guys were wrong | 02:27 |
| BunTai | only like that? | 02:27 |
| wols | woli: some guy has no clue | 02:27 |
| woli | wols, em, i want to change back my resolution to 1280x1024 | 02:27 |
| woli | somehow, my system does not detect my video card anymore... | 02:27 |
| okibisan | anyone? | 02:27 |
| Devourer | I can't install the libdbus-1-dev package on Hardy. Why? | 02:27 |
| Cpudan80 | woli: There is a recovery mode for ubuntu, which you can access from the grub menu -- it basically gives you a root prompt | 02:27 |
| jrib | Devourer: pastebin what happens when you try | 02:27 |
| woli | oh ok... | 02:27 |
| wols | woli: pastebin your Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci -nn | 02:27 |
| woli | thanks... | 02:27 |
| Cpudan80 | woli: I dont suggest messing around in there unless you know exactly what you need to do | 02:27 |
| wols | woli: that root prompt won't help you get what you want tho | 02:28 |
| zcat[1] | why didn't they just call recovery mode 'safe mode' and avoid confusing al the windows users? | 02:28 |
| Nuubuntu | Question, how do you connect to another Ubuntu machine on your network..? | 02:28 |
| wols | zcat[1]: cause it is no "safe mode" | 02:28 |
| jrib | zcat[1]: they would still be confused | 02:28 |
| Devourer | jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1192133 | 02:28 |
| wols | Nuubuntu: we generally use tcp/ip | 02:28 |
| zcat[1] | and have is come up with a vesa gui or something? | 02:28 |
| Nuubuntu | lol, Safemode that you can carry a hammer and a tissue into. | 02:28 |
| Cpudan80 | zcat[1]: it's more or less equivalent to the windows command prompt only boot mode, not at all like safe mode | 02:28 |
| Cpudan80 | zcat[1]: there is no gui | 02:28 |
| zcat[1] | ok, no.. it's really not safe mode | 02:28 |
| compengi | Zopiac1, you could read here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6420/ | 02:29 |
| woli | wols, http://pastebin.com/m1d4cea59 | 02:29 |
| wols | zcat[1]: ubuntu falls back to vesa automatically | 02:29 |
| Cpudan80 | zcat[1]: generally you only go in there when your display is messed up beyond repair | 02:29 |
| Cpudan80 | and you have to do some heroics to get it back | 02:29 |
| zcat[1] | 'unsafe mode' | 02:29 |
| woli | wols, apparently, my system does detect the video card | 02:29 |
| wols | woli: I asked more than that | 02:29 |
| Cpudan80 | or when you forgot your password I guess | 02:29 |
| BunTai | i want to restart..ill be back | 02:29 |
| woli | wols, let me see. | 02:29 |
| wols | woli: alsp dpkg -l |grep nvidia | 02:29 |
| wols | *also | 02:30 |
| woli | how do i access my xorg.0.log ? | 02:30 |
| strategy | woli, from the gui you can do system -> administration -> system log -> xorg.0.log | 02:30 |
| Zopiac1 | compengi: but the "nolog" "true" doesnt work for me, oh well | 02:30 |
| woli | wols, bash: alsp: command not found | 02:30 |
| Devourer | jrib, do you know what it means? | 02:30 |
| Nuubuntu | do you know where it's located..? Should just be sudo gedit "location" | 02:30 |
| jrib | Devourer: sudo apt-get update, try again. If it still fails, pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy libdbus-1-dev libdbus-1-3' and your /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:30 |
| wols | woli: "also". engage your brain | 02:30 |
| woli | strategy, the terminal way? | 02:30 |
| compengi | Zopiac1, could be because you used lower case? | 02:30 |
| Devourer | jrib, alright. | 02:30 |
| woli | wols, peace out dude, i just copy paste... | 02:31 |
| Zopiac1 | dont think so | 02:31 |
| wols | woli: that's your problem | 02:31 |
| strategy | woli, probably "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.0.log" | 02:31 |
| Zopiac1 | ill double check... | 02:31 |

| MeI | hello | 02:54 |
| MeI | got a weird problem, and don't know how to tackle it | 02:54 |
| MeI | When i use my firefox , it sometimes just closes down | 02:55 |
| jrib | CokeNCode: ah, thanks didn't know about that | 02:55 |
| woli | wols, you told me to check you fag | 02:55 |
| CokeNCode | jrib: no worries. Now get to work on building it. :P | 02:55 |
| MeI | i think it might be a video memory issue | 02:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | MeI: i've had that prob w/ Firefox for about 3 weeks, i found 1 of 2 solutions works best.. install Firefox2(which kinda sucks). or 2, use Opera or Seamonkey.. I'v been using Seamonkey w/ no issues and like it a lot. | 02:56 |
| compengi | chowmeined, sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 02:56 |

| Nuubuntu | MeI- Have you try uninstall/reinstall after backing up info..? | 02:56 |

| pudland | please look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42898/ thanks | 02:57 |
| MeI | indygunfreak, i am using konqueror now | 02:57 |
| scott_ino | my issue is related to cups/printer firmware so if anybody has a good understanding of that that would be good | 02:57 |

| Drk_Guy | brettley, no ideas? | 02:58 |
| MeI | Indy, i like your pretty descriptive views :) however, i have no choice now, it is working now | 02:58 |
| Nuubuntu | MeI- alright go for it, Synaptic's probably the easiest I think it's Firefox3 | 02:58 |
| brettley | Drk_Guy: aww | 02:58 |
| MeI | indy, kde is not bad, however, i am on xfce now | 02:59 |

| chetnick | guys, i want to change startup sound on my ubuntu. I downloaded few files in .wav format from internet, and copied them to /usr/share/sounds. Than i went to system > preferences > sound, and there i navigated to that new sound file with the login dropdown menu. For some reason it wont play any of these files that i added. Anyone know why? | 03:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | wrong format maybe? | 03:01 |
| chetnick | LSD|Ninja, they are all .wav file format. The original ones and new ones | 03:01 |
| MeI | well, thanks , i am out | 03:02 |
| LSD|Ninja | there's like a dozen diff formats a .wav file can be in, not to mention it may have the wrong bit and sample rates | 03:02 |
| koshari | brettley it would like install its own | 03:02 |
| Doonz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/42896/ <-- this mean i have a failed drive? | 03:02 |
| brettley | koshari: oh i see | 03:02 |
| duy | i have problem with .flv file , 1st i play it but don't have sound , after i upgrade code ,it have sound but nothing on screen , can anyone help | 03:03 |
| wildrussian | Under what name would my Camera show up in /dev folder? | 03:03 |
| chetnick | LSD|Ninja, so you are saying that i should try a bunch of wav files until some of them is playing. Damn, that sucks. :) Thanks | 03:03 |
| koshari | brettley you could easily run grub from ubuntu again and overwrite it | 03:03 |
| Jakob_the_liar | here do i get more keymaps? | 03:03 |
| koshari | brettley if you like | 03:03 |
| Jakob_the_liar | none work with lkl | 03:03 |
| Jakob_the_liar | or is there another program like lkl but better? | 03:04 |
| hocmin | I just installed a second monitor for my system. Is there a way to get my top and bottom panels to extend to both? | 03:04 |
| Jakob_the_liar | it just outputs garbage to the log file and causes my keyboard to mess up | 03:04 |
| Cpudan80 | hocmin: no | 03:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jakob_the_liar: easiest way to do it, is just add new panels and set them up manually, thats what i done. | 03:04 |
| Cpudan80 | hocmin: you can have more panels over there - and you can add the same panel items (to make them mirror) -- but the one panel wont bridge 2 monitors | 03:04 |
| chowmeined | Doonz, pastebin the output of this please: sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md0 | 03:05 |
| LSD|Ninja | chetnick: I don't know, without more info I can't be sure of anything. Do they play in other players? | 03:05 |
| Cpudan80 | hocmin: that's a gnome issue :-( | 03:05 |
| wildrussian | Do you guys have any ideas? What name in /dev folder would the digital camera show up as? | 03:05 |
| LSD|Ninja | sd* | 03:05 |
| Jakob_the_liar | what IndyGunFreak ? | 03:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Normally if you just plug it in it'll detect it | 03:05 |
| koshari | wildrussian defends on the camera, some dont mount as a rem drive | 03:05 |
| chetnick | LSD|Ninja, they play in all other players, just in the system > preferences > sound box they dont play. | 03:06 |
| hocmin | Cpudan80: damn. Thanks | 03:06 |
| Doonz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/42902/ | 03:06 |
| Doonz | uh oh | 03:06 |
| Cpudan80 | hocmin: yeah - its a pain... too bad it's not fixed yet | 03:06 |
| === john__ is now known as anon77 | ||
| chetnick | LSD|Ninja, when you change login sound, and click on play button, nothing happens. All ather players play it. | 03:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | If it's a umass comptible camera and the Linux devs haven;t changed how umassgets handled, it'll appear in /dev as a SCSI drive | 03:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jakob_the_liar: manually add the panels on the other screen, and add to them what you want. | 03:06 |
| Cpudan80 | hocmin: If I remember right, gnome was working on this during this year's summer of code | 03:06 |
| chowmeined | Doonz, yes a drive has failed | 03:06 |
| Cpudan80 | hocmin: that doesn't help you much in ubuntu though | 03:07 |
| wildrussian | So if they don't mount is there a way I can access the contents without using the F-Spot | 03:07 |
| Doonz | would that be drive #2? | 03:07 |
| duy | where can i find the .deb files i installed ? | 03:07 |
| Cpudan80 | wildrussian: yes, just browse the mounted drive in nautilus | 03:07 |
| Eressolar | wildrussian: Try a "sudo lshw -C disk" Even if the camera isn't mounted, you should see a device which matches the camera's model. | 03:07 |
| Jakob_the_liar | i didnt ask anything about panels IndyGunFreak | 03:07 |
| Cpudan80 | duy: you can get a list of installed packages... | 03:07 |
| Redge | Need help with something. Booting off my LiveCD to fix my grub but fdisk -l gives me a blank. Any ideas why? | 03:07 |
| Cpudan80 | !clone | duy | 03:07 |
| ubottu | duy: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:07 |
| chowmeined | Doonz, yeah | 03:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jakob_the_liar: nevermind. | 03:07 |
| chowmeined | Doonz, probably | 03:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | If it's a umass camera though it should be treated just like any other umass device - which includes automounting | 03:07 |
| Cpudan80 | duy: dpkg --get-selections > yourDebs.txt | 03:08 |
| Doonz | Ok | 03:08 |
| Doonz | thanx | 03:08 |
| scott_ino | can anybody help me with a very strange printer problem | 03:08 |

| Nutzebahn | I don't know, I had to enter passwords for them at first, and then I fixed that by correcting the incorrect UUIDs for the partitions, and now I can read from them, but not write. | 03:22 |

| Nutzebahn | I didn't mount them myself, the operating system does that for me. | 03:23 |
| koshari | Nutzebahn are they removable drives? | 03:24 |
| favro | Nutzebahn: can you paste one of the lines in /etc/fstab for the fat32 partition? | 03:24 |

| cabrioleur | BunTai, make sure it's set to "roaming" | 04:39 |

| BunTai | cabrioleur : when i connected using wired network..i cant see wireless network? | 04:40 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, you can. | 04:40 |
| BunTai | owh | 04:40 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, as long as your wireless is on. | 04:40 |
| BunTai | how to on it? | 04:40 |
| BunTai | i dont know | 04:40 |
| strategy | CyberWolf, it's working, it just takes a REALLY LONG TIME. rar isnt the best format ever. | 04:40 |
| CyberWolf | ohh | 04:40 |
| CyberWolf | ok | 04:41 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: it looks like from that paste, that you need to add yourself to the audio group. | 04:41 |
| CyberWolf | thank you | 04:41 |
| CyberWolf | i'll wait it out some more then | 04:41 |

| KovaaK | does anyone know a way to get the installation to correctly see how much space is on my most recently partitioned&formatted harddrive? i'd like to repartition it and put ubuntu on it as well - img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdl2.png | 04:42 |
| cybertux | Hi | 04:42 |
| jrib | annie_g: verify the integrity of the disk (from the first menu you see) | 04:42 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, it's rare that the light works with linux (but wireless almost allways do) | 04:42 |
| slipp3d | lostogre, where would i change that | 04:42 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, sudo iwlist scan again | 04:42 |
| BunTai | owh | 04:42 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: what distro are you using? | 04:42 |
| slipp3d | ubuntu | 04:43 |
| annie_g | strategy: tried a NEW DVD/Burner combo drive - also unplugged cable an power to HDrive. | 04:43 |
| BunTai | still got the same answer | 04:43 |
| strategy | annie_g, well i dont know, that's a really strange problem.. | 04:43 |
| annie_g | jrib: never had any problems with it before - looks pristine - but will try that - thx | 04:44 |

| lostogre | slipp3d: go to the Users and Groups applet. Sorry I can't guide you; I am using xubuntu. | 04:48 |
| ross | what is the wireless card you'd recommend for doing so? | 04:48 |

| osmosis | i cant get power saving to work on my monitors | 04:50 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: why would you need those? I am not familiar with them. | 04:50 |
| slipp3d | lostogre, I don't see anything else related to sound | 04:50 |
| ross | cabrioleur: what do I buy? how do i set it up? | 04:50 |
| osmosis | I put Option "DPMS" in my xorg.conf, but still no sleep | 04:51 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: The audio devices are owned by the audio group | 04:51 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: you shouldn't need anything else. | 04:51 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, yes | 04:52 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, execute "sudo rmmod ath_pci" | 04:52 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, then "sudo rmmod ndiswrapper" | 04:52 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: there should be a "use audio devices" option. | 04:52 |
| Luke | cabrioleur: I cant install the flashplugin because it cant find libcurl.so.3. it exists in /usr/lib64 on my system | 04:53 |
| BunTai | cabrioleur : sudo rmmod ath_pci <-- ? | 04:53 |
| BunTai | ok | 04:53 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, when it's done, make sure ndiswrapper has the driver with "sudo ndiswrapper -l" | 04:53 |
| BunTai | ok | 04:53 |
| BunTai | wait | 04:53 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: Sorry, there should be a "use audio devices option" in the user and groups applet. | 04:53 |
| cabrioleur | Luke, try to cheat the system "sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.3 /usr/lib/ | 04:53 |
| Luke | cabrioleur: good idea | 04:54 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, yes | 04:54 |
| slipp3d | lostogre, nope | 04:54 |
| BunTai | cabrioleur : http://paste.ubuntu.com/42929/ | 04:54 |

| osmosis | Does monitor power saving mode work for anyone else ??? | 04:54 |
| ross | is it possible to set up a wireless connection with my desktop? (i have ubuntu installed) | 04:55 |
| osmosis | im so sick of having to turn off my monitors on my own | 04:55 |

| slipp3d | Okay I think that i got it working for now... | 04:59 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, we found the fault. remove quotes ("") from the last line | 04:59 |
| lostogre | slipp3d: Ok, you are going to have to edit the /etc/group file. run sudo gedit /etc/group from the command line. add you user id to the end of the line that says audio: make sure that you include a comma if there is another name there. you will then have to log out and log back in. | 04:59 |
| osmosis | monitor power saving doesnt work. help. | 04:59 |
| BunTai | cabrioleur : ok..thats all? | 04:59 |
| slipp3d | lostogre, I think that I have it working ... | 04:59 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, make sure the changes were made, and restart the computer. Should be o.k. now | 05:00 |
| BunTai | ok | 05:00 |
| BunTai | done | 05:00 |
| BunTai | i will restart now | 05:00 |
| BunTai | be right back | 05:00 |
| Flannel | lostogre, slipp3d: don't manually edit the file, we have commands to do that for you. adduser user group | 05:00 |
| FloodBot2 | BunTai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:00 |

| Flannel | CyberWolf: Try #winehq, they'll be able to help you more | 05:05 |
| CyberWolf | ok so i install direct x | 05:05 |
| BunTai | cabrioleur: how to check any wireless network available? | 05:05 |
| BunTai | iwlist scan? | 05:05 |
| Gun_Smoke | BunTai, iwlist wlan0 scan | 05:05 |
| BunTai | ok | 05:05 |
| snowveil | Is there a font package in the repository that anyone can recommend? | 05:05 |
| Gun_Smoke | snowveil, ms fonts? | 05:05 |
| snowveil | I'm looking to do a small amount of desktop publishing and would like a general variety of fonts to choose from | 05:05 |
| harushimo | hey everyone, I back up hd. I want to wipe my hd. how do I do it? | 05:07 |
| snowveil | I have MS fonts installed, but I'm looking for something with a wider selection if possible | 05:07 |
| harushimo | I know its dd but what's after that | 05:07 |
| eross | snowveil - i was able to find a bunch of free ttf fonts out there somewhere, but i had to download/install one at a time | 05:08 |
| tarvid | any suggestions on a work flow to make flash like animations for display on a web page? | 05:09 |
| Gun_Smoke | harushimo, just reformat to ext3 or whatever with parted | 05:09 |
| harushimo | i'm just reformatting it | 05:10 |
| snowveil | also, quick question | 05:10 |
| harushimo | I haven't decided on the file scheme | 05:10 |
| snowveil | is there a default keyboard shortcut to pull up a terminal window? | 05:11 |
| cabrioleur | BunTai, yes, "sudo iwlist scan" | 05:11 |
| harushimo | i was reading about shred vs dd. which is better | 05:11 |
| cabrioleur | snowveil, no, but it's easy to make. | 05:11 |
| BunTai | ok thankx | 05:12 |
| cabrioleur | harushimo, I have a lot of trust for dd | 05:12 |
| harushimo | I used dd once also | 05:12 |
| harushimo | i used it a couple of years ago | 05:12 |
| Flannel | harushimo: shred is nice | 05:12 |
| harushimo | what is shred exactly | 05:12 |
| harushimo | I don't understand the concept | 05:12 |
| Gun_Smoke | shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it | 05:12 |
| adityag | how do i restart apache ?? in ubuntu 8.04 | 05:13 |
| Flannel | harushimo: Overwrite all the data on the drive a few times, with different patterns, so nothing is recoverable | 05:13 |
| Flannel | adityag: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 05:13 |
| cabrioleur | harushimo, it overwrites the segments multiple times, so it's (in theory) more secured. | 05:13 |
| Flannel | harushimo: It works on both files, and filesystems, which is nice. | 05:13 |
| Gun_Smoke | harushimo, dban's disk nuke is pretty slick. | 05:13 |
| harushimo | actually, I downloaded that | 05:13 |
| harushimo | dban | 05:13 |
| Megaqwerty | harushimo: actually, dban erases entire disks, not individual files | 05:14 |
| harushimo | would it work for core 2 duo( I think falls under i686) right? | 05:14 |
| Megaqwerty | harushimo: shred does it on a per-file basis | 05:14 |
| cabrioleur | Flannel, shred -n 1 /dev/hda1 (here goes the filesystem ;-) ) | 05:14 |
| Flannel | Megaqwerty: shred can also do full disks | 05:14 |
| Flannel | cabrioleur: I'd do /dev/hda, but yeah. | 05:14 |
| Megaqwerty | Flannel: oh, I wasn't aware of that. Cool. | 05:14 |
| harushimo | i was reading shred can do the whole hard disk | 05:15 |
| Flannel | Megaqwerty: wipe only does files (and its not installed by default, I have no idea why anyone would use wipe over shred) | 05:15 |
| Megaqwerty | Flannel: agreed. | 05:15 |
| harushimo | how many times would typically do the shred process? is more than once preferred | 05:15 |
| Flannel | harushimo: The default is 25, so its strongly recommended you don't use the default, especially on larger drives. | 05:16 |
| harushimo | the hd is 160 gb | 05:16 |
| Gun_Smoke | that would take a while :) | 05:16 |
| cabrioleur | harushimo, in unix everything is a file. You can shred whatever is represented as a file. as far as I remember, after 37 it's safe (but long as 550 cord) | 05:16 |
| Flannel | cabrioleur: I believe some sort of standard is 17. | 05:17 |
| evilbug | how can i make it so that keyring doesn't ask for a password at login? i want to have it access stuff automatically. | 05:17 |
| harushimo | I'm just gonna do a reinstall of ubuntu. I just want to what is preferred method to wipe a hd but which is safe and secure | 05:17 |
| cabrioleur | Flannel, 37 is a standard in military ;-) | 05:17 |
| woli | for the remote conection to computers, does the computer to which you are connecting show a notification or something? | 05:17 |
| Gun_Smoke | woli, by default yes. You can change that in System>Preferences>Remote Desktop | 05:19 |
| woli | ok | 05:19 |
| woli | hm... | 05:19 |
| BunTai | gtg | 05:20 |
| BunTai | bye! | 05:20 |
| harushimo | how do use the dban for linux? I have the iso. I just haven't burned it yet | 05:20 |
| Gun_Smoke | harushimo, It will load as a liveCD.. It's pretty straight forward.. | 05:20 |
| Megaqwerty | harushimo: just make sure that when you run it you don't have any drives that you don't want wiped connected | 05:21 |
| henriquelm | Hello there | 05:21 |
| joanki123 | anyone know how i can use terminal to convert text to hex? | 05:21 |
| joanki123 | as in i want fee2 or something to appear as decimal | 05:21 |
| joanki123 | so i mean convert text in hex to decimal integers | 05:21 |
| harushimo | all the hd are connected my 500 gb doesn't have anything on it at all | 05:21 |
| harushimo | i'm okay | 05:21 |
| henriquelm | Do you guys know where can I get info on the next features of Ubuntu 8.10? | 05:21 |
| harushimo | thanks for the tip | 05:21 |
| Gun_Smoke | harushimo, It's going to take a while.. even a 3 pass wipe takes a good deal of time.. | 05:22 |
| harushimo | how long about 48 hrs? | 05:22 |
| kindofabuzz | henriquelm, ubuntu.com? | 05:23 |
| harushimo | or even longer for 160 gb? | 05:23 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: echo "texttoconvert" | xxd -c 256 -ps | 05:23 |
| joanki123 | can anyone tell me what cmd i would need to type in terminal to convert text in hex to its decimal representation please? | 05:23 |
| joanki123 | Megaqwerty, thanks | 05:23 |
| harushimo | i just want rough estimate | 05:23 |
| harushimo | its give me an idea | 05:23 |
| joanki123 | hey isn't there an easier way, Megaqwerty | 05:23 |
| joanki123 | ? | 05:23 |
| harushimo | thats all | 05:23 |
| henriquelm | kindofabuzz: Still looking but I can't find it so easily | 05:24 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: Possibly, I'll take a look | 05:24 |
| Gun_Smoke | harushimo, couple of hours. Depending on your computer | 05:24 |
| harushimo | the computer is 6 mons old | 05:24 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: not using xxd | 05:24 |
| harushimo | actually 8 mons | 05:24 |
| harushimo | its pretty current | 05:24 |
| xophere | current 8.04 kernel and headers are mismatched. Solution? | 05:25 |
| Gun_Smoke | If your just after a fresh install I'd think its a little overkill.. | 05:25 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: you could use a python script to do it | 05:25 |
| Flannel | harushimo: wait, you're going to use this harddrive for your computer? | 05:25 |
| xophere | breaks vmware player and cisco vpn. | 05:25 |
| croppa | I have two Ubuntu machines networked and i can see the folder on the other machine however when i try to go into the folder it requestes a password and the password of either machine does not work . What could I be doing wrong? | 05:25 |
| harushimo | yeah | 05:25 |
| joanki123 | Megaqwerty, there has to be a simple cmd line argument that does a quick onscreen conversion | 05:25 |
| Flannel | harushimo: Why are you shredding or dding at all? | 05:25 |
| ajhtiredwolf | having trouble getting nvidia card to work, enabled hardware drivers and did a reconfig and now xserver wont start | 05:25 |
| Gun_Smoke | xophere, Dump remove all the headers and reinstall them | 05:26 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: not that I know of, but as I said, you could have a python script make it easy, and then alias the script so all you'd have to type is "converthex" | 05:26 |
| Gun_Smoke | ? | 05:26 |
| xophere | I have tried | 05:26 |
| xophere | but will do it again. | 05:26 |
| harushimo | because of the fact, I'm having some problems with computer | 05:26 |
| Gun_Smoke | xophere, purge them | 05:26 |
| xophere | specifically? | 05:26 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: would you like me to help you with that? | 05:26 |
| harushimo | my computer has been sluggish. the last week or so | 05:26 |
| Flannel | harushimo: zeroing your harddrive won't really help. But if you did want to, a single pass of zeros would suffice. | 05:27 |
| woli | Gun_Smoke, could you try to remote connect to 196.40.10.249 ? | 05:27 |
| Flannel | harushimo: No need for multiple passes | 05:27 |
| xophere | remove every header item from apt | 05:27 |
| harushimo | I don't need mulitple passes | 05:27 |
| xophere | then get the latest? | 05:27 |
| sjea | !sound | 05:27 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:27 |
| harushimo | I just need a single pass | 05:27 |
| joanki123 | Megaqwerty, that would be AWESOME | 05:27 |
| harushimo | mulitiple passes would be useless since it is my computer | 05:27 |
| harushimo | I would think a single pass of zeros shouldn't take more than a couple of hrs | 05:28 |
| Flannel | harushimo: shred -n 0 -z -v /dev/whatever | 05:28 |
| harushimo | thanks I will do that | 05:28 |
| joanki123 | btw, when i do this: "echo "fff" | xxd -c 256 -ps", Megaqwerty , the result is 6666660a | 05:28 |
| girls | hy | 05:28 |
| joanki123 | shouldn't it be 111111111111? | 05:28 |
| joanki123 | in binary, that is | 05:29 |
| joanki123 | nm! | 05:29 |
| joanki123 | whatever the case, the result is wrong | 05:29 |
| Megaqwerty | joanki123: it's how you are interpreting hex | 05:29 |
| Khisanth | croppa: you probably need to do smbpasswd -a <username on the server> | 05:30 |
| Gun_Smoke | xophere, yes. Then sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 05:31 |

| sucrack | bytx!! NM losser!!! | 05:32 |
| LOWER_CASE | This is probably a stupid question, but where is the left/right speaker swap control? because I can't change my wiring due to physical PC layout. | 05:33 |
| Flannel | sucrack, NM: please keep non-support topics out of this channel. | 05:33 |
| xophere | Thanks that did it. | 05:33 |
| sucrack | excuseme.... | 05:33 |
| sucrack | i apologize for that | 05:34 |
| Gun_Smoke | xophere, np | 05:34 |
| adityag | Module: mod_access is an apache module, how do i enable it in 8.04? | 05:35 |
| xophere | aloha. | 05:35 |
| Gun_Smoke | xophere, What probably happened is your forgot to update your kernel headers after you updated the kernel. | 05:35 |
| ndf_ | hey how do i get the 'mac codec' (for .MAC/.APE/.APL audio files) ? | 05:35 |
| The-Compiler | !codecs | ndf_, probably it's here | 05:36 |
| ubottu | ndf_, probably it's here: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 05:36 |
| adityag | how to enable a apache module? Module: mod_access | 05:36 |
| furenku | hello everybody! I have a Dell Laptop and need to get a Firewire card, but I've no idea where it would go, and whether it would work well in Ubuntu. I need it to have a Texas Instruments chipset | 05:36 |
| adityag | in 8.04 | 05:36 |
| seb90210 | hi room | 05:37 |
| Flannel | adityag: It's not available in apache versions after 2.1 | 05:38 |
| LOWER_CASE | This is probably a stupid question, but where is the left/right speaker swap control? because I can't change my wiring due to physical PC layout. | 05:38 |
| adityag | Flannel: ok, | 05:38 |
| keith- | ok my friend's lappy is running ubuntu hardy... and it is showing him as only having 882 MB of ram... what's the deal with that and what kernel should i install to get the full amount? | 05:38 |
| Flannel | keith-: How much RAM do you think he ought to have? | 05:39 |
| keith- | he has a gig | 05:39 |
| majortool | after installing some updates, when i boot i get the following error message "ALERT! /dev/sda5 does not exist", i can't type either. i have used the ubuntu cd and everything boots. i can mount the drive | 05:39 |
| keith- | i recall this being a problem with kernels a long time ago ... i386 ones i believe, but i've never had this problem running ubuntu and assumed it gone now | 05:39 |
| LOWER_CASE | keith: maybe his graphics chip is using the other 128M | 05:39 |
| tarvid | anything like f4l for hardy? | 05:39 |
| Flannel | keith-: Does he have an integrated graphics card? | 05:39 |
| seb90210 | keith the video card has claimed 128 of it, the supposed 1GB | 05:39 |
| seb90210 | which is fine | 05:40 |
| Uplink | i have a question... what port does ICMP use? | 05:40 |
| icmp | I don't use a port in particular. | 05:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: It doesn't use a port | 05:41 |
| keith- | except he doesn't have an integrated card | 05:41 |
| Uplink | Cpudan80, cause it doesnt carry data right? | 05:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: It's a special flagset in the packet that it uses, it polls for open ports and fires off one of them | 05:41 |
| keith- | he has an ati mobile | 05:41 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: Are you trying to block/allow ICMP traffic in a firewall? | 05:42 |
| Uplink | (Cpudan80): something like that | 05:42 |
| seb90210 | keith that is the integrated video card | 05:42 |
| croppa | Khisanth: That did not work for me | 05:42 |
| Uplink | so what about "ping <host>" what port does it use | 05:42 |
| Cpudan80 | It doesn't | 05:42 |
| Cpudan80 | ping is very weird program | 05:42 |
| Cpudan80 | It sets UID to root (for a very short period of time) -- runs up the port list, finds a hole - fires off the packet and awaits response | 05:43 |
| Cpudan80 | woulda been more convenient if ping had a port | 05:43 |
| Cpudan80 | oh well | 05:43 |
| Dabbu | if i am sharing internet over LAN is there any way i can see the bandwidth used by different user | 05:43 |
| Cpudan80 | It's not really TCP/UDP though, I guess that's why it gets no port | 05:43 |
| NeoCicak | gday... | 05:43 |
| Uplink | i see | 05:43 |
| Uplink | thank you | 05:43 |
| majortool | anyone know why i would suddenly get ubuntu telling me it can't find my root when booting? no keyboard access either. | 05:43 |
| Khisanth | keith-: even without an integrated card, had the same thing happen here my bios has an option to remap the lost memory to a different range | 05:43 |
| NeoCicak | can anyone help me with cron expression? i need a cron expression for "6th working day of the month" ....taking working day as monday to friday | 05:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: If it's an iptables firewall I think the syntax is -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT | 05:44 |
| keith- | Khisanth: what type of computer? | 05:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: If its a router or something, most have a checkbox "Respond to ICMP ping (maybe echo)" | 05:45 |
| Khisanth | keith-: A8R32-MVP Deluxe + X1800XT :) | 05:45 |
| LOWER_CASE | This is probably a stupid question, but where is the left/right speaker swap control? because I can't change my wiring due to physical PC layout. | 05:45 |
| Uplink | hmmmmm | 05:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: Im not 100% sure on the iptables syntax | 05:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: Its something along those lines though | 05:46 |
| Uplink | (Cpudan80): i was just going over it... im not touching anything lol | 05:46 |
| Flannel | NeoCicak: something that complicated isn't possible with cron. | 05:46 |
| NeoCicak | Flannel: hmmm.. ok... thx ! :) | 05:46 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: but yeah - ping is a nasty little thing | 05:47 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: Even modules that do pings for perl/python/C.... are nasty (and require sudo [unless setuid]) | 05:47 |
| furenku | anybody has tried a VIA chipset firewire card with Ubuntu?? | 05:49 |
| Uplink | (Cpudan80): omg why the sudo? to flagg? | 05:49 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: huh? | 05:50 |
| Uplink | (Cpudan80): omg why the sudo on the ping? | 05:50 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: ping is a setuid binary | 05:50 |
| Cpudan80 | It actually runs as root | 05:50 |
| Cpudan80 | for a second or so | 05:50 |
| Cpudan80 | even if you dont give it root permissions | 05:51 |
| Uplink | hmmm why is networking so complicated :| | 05:51 |
| LOWER_CASE | Anyone know where the control is to swap left/right speaker channels? | 05:51 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: Ping is a special case | 05:52 |
| Cpudan80 | As is traceroute (tracert) | 05:52 |
| Uplink | (Cpudan80): but u see.. if its so special no one can hack u through ping | 05:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: They'd have to hack you while you're running the ping process | 05:53 |
| Uplink | (Cpudan80): but i thought it doesnt use data? | 05:53 |
| Uplink | it pads it | 05:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Uplink: And even then, they'd have to craft the hacked packets in the weird ICMP format (which is pointless) | 05:53 |
| Cpudan80 | But as I said, ping is a special case | 05:54 |
| Uplink | hmmm ty for the info Cpudan80 | 05:55 |
| Cpudan80 | If you want to learn networking - dont learn about ping | 05:55 |
| Cpudan80 | till the end | 05:55 |
| Cpudan80 | start with the 5 layer model and tcp -- then go to UDP and other fun things | 05:55 |
| Dabbu | how to allow only specific IPs to access my shared internet | 05:57 |
| seb90210 | my 2 cents although memory fails me is the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files | 05:58 |

| xnevermore | hey, how do i mount an sd card plugged into a built-in reader? | 06:01 |
| FAJALOU | does anyone know when a linux version of chrome will be coming out? | 06:01 |
| tony_ | exit | 06:01 |
| Cpudan80 | FAJALOU: no | 06:01 |
| Cpudan80 | FAJALOU: the faq page says its in the works | 06:01 |
| Cpudan80 | FAJALOU: Maybe it will work in wine? | 06:02 |
| Cpudan80 | I havent tried it to be honest | 06:02 |
| FAJALOU | ekk, i don't want to do that to such a wonderful browser ;) | 06:02 |
| zynergi | eek | 06:03 |
| neb_ | anyone use fluxbox here? | 06:03 |
| bobertdos | xnevermore: Well, if it doesn't automatically mount when you insert the card, you might want to check fdisk to see if it's detected. | 06:03 |
| sjea | !sound | 06:04 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:04 |

| moosen | I'm having some trouble with hardy: when I press ctrl-alt-backspace, or when my x-server crashes, I end up with a blank screen that doesn't respond to ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-f1, and am forced to do a hard reset. | 06:07 |
| xnevermore | bobertdos: how do i go about doing that? dmesg reports "tifm_core: SmartMedia/xD card detected in socket 0:0" | 06:07 |
| moosen | I'm running on a a toshiba laptop with an intel video card | 06:07 |

| xnevermore | bobertdos: and if it doesn't show up? | 06:11 |
| bobertdos | xnevermore: Then you might consider getting an external reader :p | 06:12 |

The bytes match exactly, and the type of files are vmware backups. Any ideas? | 06:19 |
| bobertdos | moosen: Yeah, basically, Ubuntu hates working with Intel video. In your case, I might consider disabling visual effects. Otherwise, try reading over the wiki entries about X and maybe intel video. | 06:20 |
| hamzilla | jigp - press cntrl alt backspace it will shutdown your window manager | 06:20 |
| jigp | hamzilla : same thing.i cannot see my icons in the desktop.... | 06:22 |

| unop | jigp, the next time you logon on, you should be able to select a KDE session from the login screen | 06:24 |
| jigp | unop : but im in ubuntu... | 06:24 |
| jigp | unop : sudo apt-get kubuuntu-desktop package -- is not working | 06:24 |
| traci | bobertdos: no, but that would be convienent, at that exact moment I had downloaded a guitar pro file (but have since closed tux guitar) and I reccently installed the visual effects though | 06:25 |

| lovinglinux | Hi. I need some help generating a script for installation of all current stalled apps after reformatting my drive | 06:26 |
| Flannel | !cloning | lovinglinux | 06:26 |
| ubottu | lovinglinux: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 06:26 |
| lovinglinux | oops...stalled=installed | 06:26 |
| jigp | unop : this will erase all my files also if i switch to kubuntu?and how much time to download this?because im using 368kbps download speed | 06:26 |
| bobertdos | traci: Well, if you're sure you don't have any players open or firefox playing flash, then I would suggest restarting pulseaudio. | 06:26 |
| traci | bobetdos: I also just hovered over a song to see if it was the preview thing and if previewing a new song would override what its doing now | 06:27 |
| bobertdos | traci: You're running Hardy, right? | 06:27 |
| cyphase | does anyone know how easy it is to manage processes as they relate to a multi-core/cpu system? e.g. setting a process to run on one core or another? | 06:27 |

| sebastian | hi guys, i was thinking about having win xp as a virtual desktop in ubuntu for games, i have 1 gb in ram, so how mutch will i have left? | 06:27 |
| sebastian | is it enough? | 06:28 |
| bobertdos | traci: In a terminal, type: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 06:28 |
| unop | jigp, it does not remove any files, it should take about 20 minutes to download all packages | 06:28 |
| jigp | unop : thanks :) by then i can see my desktop icons if i download kubuntu desktop? :) | 06:28 |
| cyphase | sebastian: what kind of games? | 06:29 |
| unop | jigp, try it out :) | 06:29 |
| zynergi | odd. | 06:29 |
| traci | bobertdos: It asked for my password, seemed to have accepted it and did nothing | 06:30 |

| jigp | vote for gnome vs kde! who will you choose? | 06:32 |
| cyphase | sebastian: how VMs work is, the VM program has to allocate all the memory you want it to have from the beginning. meaning, if you have 1GB of real RAM, and you set aside 512MB for the VM, you'll only have 512MB left on your real system, even though the VM might not be using 512MB internally | 06:32 |
| sucrack | K | 06:32 |

| bobertdos | jigp: Lkisten, one is really not better than another. Gnome is generally considered the environment for more epxerienced users. K is kind of intended to make the transition from Windows easier. | 06:33 |
| sucrack | nop, amarok can't do that | 06:34 |

| bobertdos | jigp: I don't mean to get off-topic again, but you can see from unop and I disagreeing that it really is a question of personal preference. | 06:36 |
| jrib | sucrack: kubuntu and ubuntu use the same repositories | 06:36 |
| G3N0 | will a kubuntu distribution of software work with unbuntu 8? | 06:36 |
| unop | myles7897, sudo chown $USER file | 06:36 |
| cyphase | sebastian: not yet as far as i know | 06:36 |
| sebastian | cyphase: only with world of warcraft | 06:36 |
| jrib | G3N0: kubuntu and ubuntu use the same repositories | 06:36 |
| G3N0 | jrib: thankyou thats what i thought | 06:37 |
| lawrence | thanks okay is there a way to fix unable to resolve host nlawre in ssh | 06:37 |
| sebastian | cyphase: but its bad fps on linux | 06:37 |
| cyphase | sebastian: i see.. oblivion won't work? | 06:37 |
| jigp | unop : im not sure also..is it console xforce? im lost..please help... | 06:37 |
| sebastian | nope | 06:37 |
| EvolutionXtinct | Does anyone know how to disable IPTABLES fully? | 06:37 |
| EvolutionXtinct | :D | 06:37 |
| jigp | bobertdos : it ok :) | 06:37 |
| EvolutionXtinct | thats my real question i swear | 06:37 |
| sucrack | like said any master: "only after you try, you will kow!!!" | 06:37 |
| myles7897 | unop: replace user with name? | 06:37 |
| sebastian | cyphase: and vista is the worst thing for a computer, and if i install xp my linux installation will probably be removed | 06:37 |
| _2 | EvolutionXtinct what do you mean ? build a kernel without iptables ? | 06:37 |
| unop | jigp, i have no idea .. i have never used KDE and am not sure what xforce is | 06:37 |
| EvolutionXtinct | no just to disable it like you can in redhat. | 06:38 |
| jigp | unop : you in gnome? | 06:38 |
| cyphase | sebastian: don't know what to tell you.. Wine has certainly gotten very good, but there are still things that don't work, or don't work well | 06:38 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i'm having issues w/ ports being blocked | 06:38 |
| sebastian | cyphase: last time it was anyway | 06:38 |
| cyphase | sebastian: you can dual-boot xp and linux | 06:38 |
| Rat409 | EvolutionXtinct: sudo iptables -F | 06:38 |
| unop | myles7897, if you like, but you don't have to, if you don't $USER is automatically expanded to your username | 06:38 |
| === snowrichard_ is now known as snowrichard | ||
| jrib | EvolutionXtinct: "yes" question answered, go away :) | 06:38 |
| EvolutionXtinct | and i already have a good hardware firewall | 06:38 |
| raw | sebastian, same here. thats why I have a partition for ubuntu. | 06:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's got no rules by default, so there's no need to disable it. | 06:38 |
| unop | jigp, no, fluxbox | 06:38 |
| cef | EvolutionXtinct: 'modprobe -r ip_tables' ?? | 06:38 |
| EvolutionXtinct | Rat409 thnx :D | 06:38 |
| snowrichard | hi | 06:38 |
| _2 | EvolutionXtinct you can't disable it. you can flush all rules though | 06:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | cef: no. | 06:38 |
| jrib | EvolutionXtinct: there are no default rules anyway | 06:38 |
| sebastian | cyphase: i have partitions to but last time i installed xp my linux partition dissapered | 06:39 |
| EvolutionXtinct | hmmm so it doesn't lock down ports automatically? | 06:39 |
| cef | Daisuke_Ido: well, it'll remove all the modules too. *grin* | 06:39 |
| raw | I think my sound card did not detected completely. Or the drivers are not the MAX Sound Card. Because on Windows Vista it plays more louder than on ubuntu. Anyone can help or say something to me? :P | 06:39 |
| _2 | EvolutionXtinct nope | 06:39 |
| EvolutionXtinct | this is 8.04 LTS | 06:39 |
| myles7897 | unop: it says chown: missing operand after 'file' | 06:39 |
| EvolutionXtinct | just FYI | 06:39 |
| cyphase | sebastian: you have to be careful to tell XP not to wipe out Linus :) | 06:39 |
| jrib | EvolutionXtinct: there are no default rules, nothing is blocked | 06:39 |
| sebastian | ok i try it | 06:39 |
| sucrack | i use dual booting XP and Kubuntu | 06:39 |
| EvolutionXtinct | cool ok i'm just having a terrible time w/ my Vuze program and its not connecting to seeds :'( | 06:39 |
| _2 | EvolutionXtinct iptables -L lists all rules | 06:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, because if XP wipes out Linus, it'll have to share a cell with Hans... | 06:39 |
| unop | myles7897, replace $USER with your username .. and make sure you have the right and full filename there | 06:40 |
| sucrack | to play some games and some autodesk soft | 06:40 |
| EvolutionXtinct | _2 | 06:40 |
| EvolutionXtinct | er _2 awesome | 06:40 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i was going to ask that actually :D | 06:40 |
| sebastian | cyphase: thx for the help, cya :) | 06:40 |
| raw | I think my sound card did not detected completely. Or the drivers are not the MAX Sound Card. Because on Windows Vista it plays more louder than on ubuntu. Anyone can help or say something to me? :P | 06:40 |
| sucrack | first you have to install XP then install linux | 06:40 |
| cyphase | sebastian: if you need any help, you can pm me, or just ping me in here | 06:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | EvolutionXtinct: it doesn't lock down ports, but they're not even visible to the outside by default unless there's a service specifically using them | 06:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sucrack: not true | 06:41 |
| EvolutionXtinct | weird i put in accceptions earlier and its not showing up now... | 06:41 |
| myles7897 | unop:thanks it worked. | 06:41 |
| Neseth | raw have u tried to set up the volume in the mixer ? | 06:41 |
| raw | Neseth, yes mate. in 50% on vista it plays louder than ubuntu. | 06:42 |
| _2 | EvolutionXtinct did you do the iptables -F that flushes all rules. | 06:42 |
| sucrack | why not, XP install your own MBR over grub, isn't it? | 06:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sucrack: doesn't mean you can't just install grub | 06:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !grub | sucrack | 06:42 |
| ubottu | sucrack: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:42 |
| Flannel | sucrack: first link theregets GRUB back | 06:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that first link is a quick howto for recovering :) | 06:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Flannel: just gotta be faster eh? :) | 06:43 |
| EvolutionXtinct | _2 no i didn't do that command yet | 06:43 |
| cef | EvolutionXtinct: are you behind a router? has it got ports forwarded, or does your program use UPnP to talk to the router at all? | 06:43 |
| EvolutionXtinct | cef i port forwarded port 50000 and 50001 | 06:43 |

| danbh_intrepid | _2: wouldn't it just be somewhere under /dev? | 06:47 |
| meal3837 | i like the plugin-ness of the vpnc plugin for network manager, unfortunately, it does not seem to like my schools vpn config | 06:47 |
| meal3837 | :( | 06:47 |
| _2 | danbh_intrepid maybe. but where ? | 06:48 |
| _2 | danbh_intrepid i can't just try all 3000 device listings. | 06:48 |
| annie_g | carbrioleur: thanks for suggestions and help earlier, appreciate it! | 06:48 |
| Neseth | raw actually no, but is that a notebook ? sometimes notebooks don't active all the speakers with linux, than u think sound is louder in windows | 06:48 |
| annie_g | Good Night All | 06:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | _2: does it get automatically mounted? I'm not totally sure, but if you look at the mountings, it can link back to the /dev.... I think | 06:48 |
| sucrack | i have a trouble with virtuals consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F[1,2,..,6]) wich only a black screen when i try to reach any of them...any idea about this? | 06:48 |

| ubottu | aycher: 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? | 06:51 |
| sucrack | what do u need aycher? | 06:51 |
| danbh_intrepid | _2: my only guess is to try /dev/usb, and see if its listed there | 06:51 |
| sucrack | this is for ubuntu support, if u needs talk to someone, call 911 | 06:52 |
| sucrack | :S | 06:52 |
| _2 | danbh_intrepid ls: /dev/usb: No such file or directory | 06:52 |

| marfan | hi im new in using ubuntu and i have a problem of installing or even just opening the online game i downloaded | 06:53 |

| _2 | gnutoit2 rsync ? | 06:54 |
| meal3837 | marfan: what game? | 06:54 |

| ChrisULM | i've got an external hard drive here formated as fat32. every time i plug it in I get "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume." (using hardy) Any ideas? | 06:57 |
| _2 | what mount options do you have specified ? | 06:58 |
| ChrisULM | _2, i havent touched a thing, its a new install. normally it just automounts for me | 06:58 |
| Semidios | sucrack, mine have also never worked. Only thing I can trace it down too is that resolution in incompatible with my video card.. Are you by chance using a DVI connection? | 06:58 |
| * _2 rolls eyes at automount crap. | 06:59 | |
| marfan | im trying to download rose online... and then the bit torrent application which is a default in ubuntu is hard to manage | 06:59 |
| bobertdos | ChrisULM: If there's an entry in fstab for the drive, it could be a slightly screwed up entry. | 06:59 |
| sjea | ok go that done restarted humm still lost on cube stuff could you post that link again plz :0) | 06:59 |
| ChrisULM | bobertdos, I will check my fstab | 06:59 |
| BunTai | cabrioleur : im still cant scan wireless network | 07:00 |
| BunTai | :( | 07:00 |
| sucrack | nop | 07:00 |
| _2 | ChrisULM try something like sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /mnt you can substitute sda1 with the actual device node. sdb1 maybe... sudo fdisk -l should list it. | 07:00 |
| aycher | testing 1212 | 07:01 |
| ChrisULM | _2, lol, well i see its set to mount as cdrom0..... that cant be right | 07:01 |
| aycher | there's a serious lag | 07:01 |
| Semidios | sucrack, I can't remember if mine worked when I switched to VGA or not. I know it fixed my boot screen from being unreadable. but I like DVI better | 07:01 |
| _2 | ChrisULM mountpoint is not important. other options are. | 07:01 |
| sucrack | some people says that maybe is due to propietary driver for my videocard... | 07:01 |
| Dragonlaw | hello, my /home says that i use 9.2gb but when i use the df -h command in the terminal it says that i used 37gb out of the 43gb and only 3.7gb is free | 07:01 |
| Semidios | sucrack, what video card do you have? | 07:02 |
| _2 | ChrisULM things like fs type for instance. iso9660,udf would make it fail | 07:02 |
| Dragonlaw | what can i do? because im running out of space | 07:02 |
| co_goodboyfriend | sad | 07:02 |
| Dragonlaw | and i prior to this i tried deleting my trash via gksu nautilus and there was about 20gb in it | 07:03 |

| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: and you have /home on a separate mounted partition? | 07:05 |
| Dragonlaw | no its on the same partition, i dual partitioned it | 07:05 |
| ChrisULM | _2, got it working, ended up changing the cdrom0 mount option in fstab | 07:05 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: so, /home does not show in 'df -h'? | 07:05 |
| SAngeli | Hi, as I have to just perform some tests is there a way to setup Ubuntu with minimal mail services? Is there a guide or few steps I should perform? | 07:05 |
| Rat409 | sucrack: mines a 7150m i had to use envy restricted driver failed hereon a dv6636nr | 07:05 |
| Dragonlaw | when i do df -h i get /dev/sda5 | 07:06 |
| Dragonlaw | no /home does not show when i do df -h | 07:06 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: what is /dev/sda5 mounted to? | 07:07 |
| niuq | Dragonlaw, can you show the output of "mount" | 07:07 |
| Dragonlaw | the ext3? | 07:07 |
| sucrack | how may i know what's my video driver, actually installed? | 07:07 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: no, what directory? run 'mount' to find out | 07:07 |

| Dragonlaw | oops | 07:08 |
| bobertdos | sucrack: What video card are you using? | 07:08 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: /dev/sda5 is taking up the disk space which is mounted on /. / includes not only /home, but /usr, /var, /etc, etc | 07:08 |
| Dragonlaw | oh ok | 07:09 |
| Dragonlaw | but i deleted 20gb of videos and there's no change in the disk usage | 07:09 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: so, that's why /home is showing 9.3G and / 37G, or whatever | 07:09 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: define 'deleted' | 07:10 |
| negativefps | hi, i have a small problem. when trying to rebuild the kernel, while in the process, i encounter this problem: http://pastebin.com/d6c6ebf65 | 07:10 |
| Dragonlaw | deleted from the trash? | 07:10 |
| negativefps | as a result i can't boot because the sata driver won't load | 07:10 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: dunno. hard to say. if you deleted it *to* the trash, then that would explain it. if you deleted it *from* the trash, dunno | 07:10 |
| Dragonlaw | eightyeight: hmm is there anyway to get back more space | 07:10 |
| bobertdos | Dragonlaw: Are you positive the trash is empty? | 07:11 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: sure. you need to see what you have installed and what is taking up the most disk space | 07:11 |
| Dragonlaw | eightyeight: or is there anyway to check where the space went | 07:11 |
| cyix | there was a realtime term prog that monitored processes, memoy, etc... anyone recall the name? | 07:11 |
| niuq | negativefps, how did you rebuild your kernel? | 07:12 |
| Neseth | Dragonlaw do u remember the name of any video u deleted ? so u could try locating it, if they still in some folder | 07:12 |
| Flannel | cyix: top | 07:12 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: directory by directory. it's up to you to investigate your hard disk, looking for what's filling it up | 07:12 |
| bobertdos | Dragonlaw: Well, Ubuntu does have that disk usage analyzer......... | 07:12 |
| Kartagis | unop> do you remember my problem yesterday? | 07:12 |
| cyix | yes! ty! | 07:12 |
| negativefps | niuq: well im using arch, but the userbase is really small, i always have a tough time getting support from them | 07:12 |
| unop | Kartagis, i think i do yes | 07:12 |
| negativefps | niuq: im following this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation_From_Source | 07:12 |
| Dragonlaw | eightyeight: cos when i checked my filesystem on diskusage it reflects that i have only 12.3gb on ./ | 07:12 |
| Kartagis | unop> well it still exists | 07:13 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: avail or total? | 07:13 |
| Kartagis | unop> i thought it went away | 07:13 |
| Dragonlaw | total | 07:13 |
| niuq | negativefps, well for me rebuilding is not compiling | 07:13 |
| unop | Kartagis, I would just reinstall mysql | 07:13 |
| arun | what s the output of "df -h" | 07:13 |
| Flannel | negativefps: If you don't mind taking the non-Ubuntu support somewhere else. Even #ubuntu-offtopic is fine. | 07:13 |
| negativefps | niuq: ok wrong terminilogy | 07:13 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: you just told me a bit ago that you were using 37GB out of 43GB and only 3.7GB is free | 07:14 |
| Kartagis | unop> i already did that twice | 07:14 |

| Dragonlaw | yea but my total filesystem reflected in diskusage only reflects 12. | 07:14 |
| Dragonlaw | *12.3 | 07:15 |
| unop | Kartagis, did your email from cron contain any extra information this time? | 07:15 |
| niuq | negativefps, well since it's a new kernel, it has new "numbers", and your modules are located inside a directory with a different name | 07:15 |
| Kartagis | unop> yes, let me paste them | 07:15 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: "Total filesystem capacity" says 12GB? | 07:16 |
| Kartagis | unop> http://paste.ubuntu.com/42955/ | 07:16 |
| niuq | negativefps, maybe you can try verifying a match of the location of your modules and the kernel's version | 07:16 |
| negativefps | niuq: hmm, well i'm doing this all from the directory i untarred the original kernel to | 07:17 |
| Dragonlaw | total filesystem capacity says 85.4gb (used 73.8gb available 11.6gb) | 07:17 |
| unop | Kartagis, can i see your /etc/logrotate.d/mysql file too please? | 07:17 |
| niuq | negativefps, and you are sure, that your kernel is pointing to the correct directory? | 07:17 |
| negativefps | niuq: i dont see a reason why it wouldn't. im following the guide step by step and not doing anything with the old kernel | 07:18 |
| niuq | negativefps, well that's all i can suggest now, if that doesn't help you, you may ask to another guy, sorry | 07:18 |
| niuq | negativefps, were are your modules located? | 07:18 |
| niuq | negativefps, where* | 07:19 |
| Kartagis | I have a mysql-server but not mysql there unop | 07:19 |
| negativefps | i really don't know. just typing commands in the order i see them :P | 07:19 |
| unop | Kartagis, ahh, that's what i mean then | 07:19 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: so, i think you're answering your own questions... | 07:19 |
| inkynoob | What's the difference between a Quad core Xeon at 2.4 GHz and a Quad core Core2 at 2.4 GHz? | 07:19 |
| Dragonlaw | ok thanks | 07:20 |
| niuq | mmm | 07:20 |
| Kartagis | unop> http://pastebin.com/f42cedf17 | 07:20 |
| Dragonlaw | im still alittle confused because there's only 9gb being used in home and i don't think there is that much space being taken up | 07:20 |
| niuq | negativefps, maybe that's the problem you don't really understand that guide, i suggest you find what the commands are you typing are suppose to do | 07:20 |
| Don_Miguel | inkynoob, you might want to ask that over in ##hardware | 07:21 |
| inkynoob | ok | 07:21 |
| Dragonlaw | im not sure how to clear up the space because i dunno what is taking up the space | 07:21 |
| niuq | negativefps, btw sorry for my english hehe, just learning xD | 07:21 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: dig down in /home then, running different du -sh commands until you find the disk hog directory | 07:21 |
| inkynoob | Dragonlaw : Have you tried baobab? It'll show you where the space is being used at graphically | 07:21 |
| eightyeight | Dragonlaw: baobab is cool, but a bit to get the hang of. not intuitive, if you ask me | 07:22 |

| Dragonlaw | alright thanks everyone i'll try again. | 07:26 |
| tehboriz | what should i do next | 07:26 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: 'sudo fdisk -l' will tell you what drive(s) you have installed, and what they're identified as | 07:26 |
| tehboriz | okay | 07:26 |

| tehboriz | please someone halp | 07:30 |
| tehboriz | hard disc cloning i have sda1 and sdb1 | 07:30 |
| geirha | tehboriz: the destination partition must be the same size or larger than the source partition ... « dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 » will copy from sda1 to sdb1 | 07:30 |
| geirha | tehboriz: though copying the files is better | 07:30 |
| tehboriz | they're the same | 07:31 |
| tehboriz | wait | 07:31 |
| tehboriz | i was told that if you copy and paste you'll mess it up! | 07:31 |
| marlun | Is is possible to simulate altgr with shift-ctrl in ubuntu? | 07:31 |

| tehboriz | how to find out what's sda and sdb... same models and stuff and i dont understand hex | 07:32 |
| barbarella | tehboriz:not if you preserve the attributes | 07:32 |
| tehboriz | barbarella: explain | 07:33 |
| geirha | tehboriz: if you mount them at /media/disk /media/disk-1, then « cp -a /media/disk/* /media/disk-1 » should make them equal | 07:33 |
| jimmio | Would anyone know of a way to add all music in the Music library to an iPod EXCEPT for a certain playlist in Rhythmbox? | 07:33 |
| barbarella | tehboriz:man cp | 07:33 |
| tehboriz | what | 07:33 |
| barbarella | tehboriz:in a terminal, type man cp | 07:33 |
| tehboriz | ohh | 07:33 |
| tehboriz | now what | 07:34 |
| tehboriz | i got some crazy stuff | 07:34 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: you want to clone /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1? | 07:34 |
| murlidhar | sjea: it's not in the ubuntu repos | 07:34 |
| cuil | i find i play mp3/rmvb without volume | 07:35 |
| tehboriz | i want to take the one that's got info on it and clone to the empty one | 07:35 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: do you have some means to transfer these files from the computer to their destinations? | 07:35 |
| murlidhar | cuil: please be more specific | 07:35 |
| tehboriz | they're the same model so fdisk dosen't help | 07:35 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: which one has the data, and which one doesn't? | 07:35 |
| tehboriz | yes sir they're connected to the motherboard | 07:35 |
| tehboriz | i'm not sure how do i find out | 07:35 |
| tehboriz | in properties it's not there | 07:35 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: type 'df -h' | 07:36 |
| murlidhar | sjea: maybe u can convert the .rpm to .deb package . but it doesn't always work . | 07:36 |
| DIFH-iceroot | what is the name of the package for "more" apt-get install more is not correct | 07:36 |
| murlidhar | !alien | sjea | 07:36 |
| ubottu | sjea: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:36 |
| wols_ | DIFH-iceroot: less | 07:36 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wols_: thx | 07:36 |
| tehboriz | eightyeight: i'm not understand waht it says | 07:36 |
| jimmio | would anyone know of a way to add all music in the Music library to an iPod EXCEPT for a certain playlist in Rhythmbox? | 07:37 |
| tehboriz | nvm i got it | 07:37 |
| unop | Kartagis, it looks like the script is exiting after making too many wrong assumptions .. if you read the commentary in it, you see it say you should file a bug report if that condition is ever reached, well it has been reached, so file a bug report | 07:37 |
| Ontolog | I just did an upgrade today that screwed up my gnome session; I can't left-click on stuff in the menu bar (quick launch icons, etc) how can I find what I recently upgraded so I can revert? | 07:37 |

| tehboriz | how to DD all this | 07:37 |
| cipix_ | _ | 07:37 |
| tehboriz | please | 07:37 |

| AlNahar | hi, anyone know about the pm-utils package? | 07:37 |

| tehboriz | this one command will save my night | 07:37 |
| tehboriz | yes sir wols_ | 07:37 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: last question: is sdb the same size or larger than sda? | 07:37 |
| tehboriz | same size | 07:37 |
| tehboriz | exactly the same both drives | 07:38 |
| Kartagis | unop> okay thanks | 07:38 |
| tehboriz | sda has the info sdb dosent | 07:38 |
| tehboriz | lets do this! | 07:38 |

| * wols_ is no sir | 07:38 | |
| cyix | =) | 07:38 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: wait for it to finish. it's going to take a while, pending the size of the drive | 07:38 |
| geirha | eightyeight: ouch, the whole drive with partition table and everything? | 07:38 |
| eightyeight | geirha: yeah... he's cloning the drive | 07:38 |
| mich54 | hey guys , i was installing an ubuntu server on an old machine but it asks for the server's CD in the middle of the "select and install software" step , can anyone help me with that ? | 07:39 |
| tehboriz | PERMISSION DENIED | 07:39 |
| tehboriz | omfg | 07:39 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: you have to do it as root | 07:39 |
| tehboriz | ahhhhhhhhhhh | 07:39 |
| tehboriz | sudo bash? | 07:39 |
| geirha | tehboriz: add sudo in front of the command | 07:39 |
| FloodBot2 | tehboriz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:39 |
| wols_ | !enter > tehboriz | 07:39 |
| ubottu | tehboriz, please see my private message | 07:39 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb | 07:39 |
| sparr | mich54: you can say no to that prompt, it just wants to add the CD as a repository, for the situation where you have no network access to install packages from | 07:39 |
| tehboriz | okay i did that | 07:39 |
| tehboriz | it's just blinking | 07:40 |
| tehboriz | looking at me evily | 07:40 |
| barbarella | tehboriz:do not use dd for that | 07:40 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: yeah. it's going to take a while | 07:40 |
| tehboriz | it's 4gb of info | 07:40 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: after the drive is cloned, how do you plan on getting it on the machines in the other location? | 07:40 |
| tehboriz | will it tell me anything when it's complete | 07:40 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: yeah. it will | 07:40 |
| geirha | tehboriz: it's gonna copy the whole drive, even the empty part | 07:40 |
| tehboriz | eightyeight: i'm gonna give the hard drive to the owner | 07:40 |
| tehboriz | and he's gonna put it in | 07:40 |
| murlidhar | tehboriz: Tip: "sudo !!" runs the previous command with sudo in the front :) | 07:40 |
| mich54 | sparr , first of all i have a network access , and second , all i can do is press esc which makes it give me an error msg that the whole step has failed | 07:41 |
| tehboriz | sorry i'm too used to msn and i press enter alot | 07:41 |
| murlidhar | does anybody know how to bring up the openbox menu with a keyboard shortcut . ? | 07:42 |
| tehboriz | either how long do you think it'll take | 07:42 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: how big is the drive (not the data) | 07:42 |
| tehboriz | 250gb | 07:42 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: a few hours | 07:42 |
| tehboriz | no way | 07:42 |
| tehboriz | are you serious | 07:42 |
| tehboriz | WHY | 07:42 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: yeah. what do you expect? | 07:43 |
| tehboriz | it's faster for me to install xp 10 times | 07:43 |
| wols_ | cause the command you used is very non optimal | 07:43 |
| geirha | tehboriz: it's copying every single byte, even the empty space | 07:43 |
| tehboriz | i don't believe this | 07:43 |
| geirha | tehboriz: So, copying is better | 07:43 |
| tehboriz | why does it have to copy the empty space!!! >.< | 07:43 |
| Theaxiom | Is there any way to make it so there is no password required to access my samba shares? for some reason when someone tries to access shares on my computer it requests a username and password... | 07:43 |
| tehboriz | can i abort | 07:43 |
| barbarella | tehboriz:that's one thing why i said do not use dd for that | 07:43 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: that's cloning | 07:43 |
| geirha | tehboriz: because you just told it to | 07:43 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: you wanted the drive cloned. | 07:43 |
| tehboriz | oh damn | 07:43 |
| sparr | mich54: the step failing shouldnt be a problem. i havent used that installer in a while, but you should be able to manually select a different 'next' step if you dont want to do that one | 07:43 |
| tehboriz | i want it so if i put in a drive like this in the same machine it starts up no probs | 07:44 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: then leave it be, and come back to it in the morning | 07:44 |
| tehboriz | geirha: are you saying copy and paste everything from one to the other | 07:44 |
| tehboriz | i have a feeling that won't work | 07:44 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: norton ghost, clonezilla, udpcast, all the rest would take *just* *as* *long* | 07:44 |
| santeri | hi | 07:44 |
| tehboriz | ghost took 3 minutes i'm not joking | 07:45 |
| tehboriz | it just didn't work | 07:45 |
| tehboriz | dosen't say welcome | 07:45 |
| tehboriz | just says f*ck off with the nice small logo on a blue login screen | 07:45 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: then it didn't do anything. what are these drives? sata drives? then you're moving at a pace of about 32MB/sec | 07:45 |
| lutubez | !list | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 07:45 |
| geirha | tehboriz: yes, you partition the destination drive the same way as the source, create the same type of filesystem, mount them both, then use «cp -a» | 07:45 |
| tehboriz | oh no i'm lost | 07:45 |
| mich54 | sparr , ok , let's say i'll setup these things later , so i chose the step that installs grub and i also get an error msg "the 'grub' package failed to install into /target/." | 07:45 |
| meal3837 | i'm trying to build the cisco vpn client for school and it's complaining about the cflags being changed in the Makefile | 07:45 |
| wols_ | eightyeight: what makes you think of 32MB/s? | 07:45 |
| eightyeight | wols_: experience | 07:46 |
| meal3837 | it suggests fixing it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS | 07:46 |
| meal3837 | any ideas? | 07:46 |
| tehboriz | geirha: are you saying just type in cp -a and it'll do everything? | 07:46 |
| wols_ | eightyeight: then experience something else than 10 years ago | 07:46 |
| sparr | mich54: ok, im lost then. sorry. | 07:46 |
| sparr | mich54: why cant you give it the CD? | 07:46 |
| geirha | tehboriz: you'll also need to edit the fstab on the destination though ... | 07:47 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: no. he's saying create the same partition layout as sda on sdb. format with the same filesystems. then 'cp -a' | 07:47 |
| mich54 | sparr , what CD ? :D | 07:47 |
| Ontolog | I just did an upgrade today that screwed up my gnome session; I can't left-click on stuff in the menu bar (quick launch icons, etc) how can I find what I recently upgraded so I can revert? | 07:47 |
| mich54 | sparr , isn't it the one i'm installin the server from :D | 07:47 |
| tehboriz | software sounds better | 07:47 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: how much data is on sda? | 07:47 |
| f7 | hi, people! | 07:47 |
| tehboriz | about 4gb | 07:47 |
| tehboriz | i have fresh xp install | 07:47 |
| tehboriz | drivers took me a while to find | 07:48 |
| tehboriz | thats why i gotta clone | 07:48 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: then let it run for a couple hours, and hit ctrl-c if you want. that should be sufficient | 07:48 |
| mich54 | sparr , i'm mean it's already in the cd-rom | 07:48 |
| tehboriz | or whatever it means when you ahve 2 hard drives with the same info | 07:48 |
| tehboriz | couple of hours is something i don't have! | 07:48 |

| tehboriz | yeah but that's just ONE drive | 07:49 |
| Flannel | tehboriz: You have more than one? | 07:49 |
| eightyeight | tehboriz: it's going to take hours either way | 07:49 |

| tehboriz | i'll wake up tomorrow | 07:49 |

| tehboriz | that was my first choice | 07:50 |
| Flannel | tehboriz: use find and cpio | 07:50 |
| tehboriz | like i said | 07:50 |
| tehboriz | find is a windows search tool | 07:50 |
| Flannel | No? Well, maybe, but not in this case. | 07:50 |
| eightyeight | Flannel: he's already started the dd command. i say let it run, and cancel it in the morning. he'll be past his 4GB then, and should be fine | 07:50 |

| Ontolog | this sucks, an upgrade hosed my system | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | Ontolog: What did you upgrade? | 07:59 |
| eightyeight | Ontolog: upgrade the os? or a software package? | 08:00 |
| Ontolog | a software package | 08:00 |
| Ontolog | i think its libtiff | 08:00 |
| eightyeight | Ontolog: you can use dpkg to remove it and use dpkg to install an older .deb by hand. | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | Ontolog: Which package? | 08:01 |
| hamzilla | does ubuntu have a VGA Font installed by default for console? | 08:01 |
| geirha | Ontolog: sound odd that libtiff would "hose" your system. How exactly is it "hosed"? | 08:02 |
| hirak99 | how do i install the google chrome on my pc? | 08:03 |
| hirak99 | i hear it is fast | 08:03 |

| Jordan_U | hirak99: It's not working on Linux yet | 08:03 |

| hirak99 | oh that's a shame | 08:03 |
| Neseth | dam google chrome ram eater | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | hirak99: And according to #winehq it will probably be working natively on Linux before it will work in wine | 08:04 |
| hirak99 | it's opensource, someone will port it if it is good | 08:04 |
| eightyeight | Jordan_U: really? interesting. :) | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | hirak99: Google already plans to | 08:04 |
| Rakeer | ABout CHrome, you CAN download the full source code and compile it for linux yourself | 08:05 |

| Jordan_U | Rakeer: It just doesn't run :) | 08:05 |
| KalEl | hi | 08:05 |
| eightyeight | Rakeer: you can, it just doesn't do anything | 08:05 |
| Rakeer | RIght ;) | 08:05 |

| zynergi | sigh | 08:07 |
| zynergi | i wish the ps3 had more ram | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | cotton: There is a difference between a port being blocked and just nobody listening :) | 08:08 |
| eightyeight | cotton: then install some service, say opnessh-server | 08:08 |
| zynergi | im lazy. | 08:08 |

| cotton | thats the main issue | 08:09 |

| zynergi | however, it is on a playstation 3, so I | 08:14 |
| zynergi | am forced to take every step w/ a grain of salt | 08:14 |

| cotton | eightyeight: nmap tells me everything is closed | 08:14 |
| mayday_jay | cotton - on a standard port 22 config it should look like: | 08:14 |
| cotton | this is driving me nuts | 08:14 |
| eightyeight | cotton: what is the nmap command you are running? nmap only scans the priv ports (up to 1024) | 08:15 |
| cotton | nmap localhost | 08:15 |
| eightyeight | cotton: there you go | 08:15 |
| wols_ | cotton: nmap is useless for that. | 08:15 |
| mayday_jay | cotton - tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 9970/sshd | 08:15 |
| hirak99 | i configured ssh to listen to port 443. curiously enough, now the first attempt to ssh from a remote comp always fails, second one succeeds | 08:16 |

| ghaleb_ | hello, how can I remove broken packages using aptitude ? | 08:18 |
| cada | Can anybody help me with this | 08:18 |
| eightyeight | cotton: nmap is useful, but it's doing syn packet port scanning looking for acks. i could easily block those | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | ghaleb_: What package is broken? | 08:18 |
| wols_ | ghaleb_: depends on how it's broken | 08:18 |
| eightyeight | s/i/anyone/ | 08:18 |
| cotton | well im trying to learn wols_ | 08:18 |
| cuil | i can't play mp3/rmvb/... who can help me? | 08:18 |
| hirak99 | ghaleb_: just sudo aptitude purge <broken package name> | 08:18 |
| hateball | Hmmm, anyone good with iftop? I want to monitor traffic for all segments BUT one (or more). iftop -F lets me specify one specific to listen to, but I cant find how to exclude a certain subnet | 08:18 |

| EvolutionXtinct | is there any good firewall programs i can use to turn ubuntu into a firewall so i can drop my stupid linksys crap-router | 08:19 |
| wols_ | ghaleb_: do NOT paste in here and 2nd, this is NOT the error | 08:19 |
| wols_ | ghaleb_: pastebin the FULL output including the command you ran | 08:19 |
| lint | can someone tell me how i can get my trashbin on the desktop? | 08:19 |
| Rakeer | EvolutionXtinct: Check out dd-wrt firmware, or TOmato firm (easier to use than dd-wrt) | 08:20 |
| wols_ | EvolutionXtinct: you don't need a firewall | 08:20 |
| Rakeer | You flash them onto your router | 08:20 |
| ghaleb_ | wols_: how do I paste here ? | 08:20 |
| Rakeer | Thus rendering it usable, as opposed to useless | 08:20 |
| Rakeer | (I have a linksys router) | 08:20 |
| wols_ | !paste > ghaleb_ | 08:20 |
| ubottu | ghaleb_, please see my private message | 08:20 |
| cotton | wols_: ok, im behind a router so the ip is 192.168.1.103..im trying to acces this server thru the router...i forwarded the ports....in the router...but it still wont let me | 08:20 |
| Rakeer | cotton: server has to have the same ip block | 08:21 |
| cada | Can anybody help me to assign shortcuts to workspaces higher then 2... | 08:21 |
| EvolutionXtinct | hmm tomato firm i'll look that up | 08:21 |
| wols_ | cotton: are there any other hosts in your LAN behind your router except the ubuntu box? | 08:21 |
| cotton | yes wols_ | 08:21 |
| cotton | all windows boxes | 08:21 |
| Rakeer | EvolutionXtinct: Look at the compatibility list for your model, if its not there you can use dd-wrt | 08:21 |
| cada | EvolutionXtinct: Yes try tomata, I use it myself very easy to use and powerful.. | 08:21 |
| wols_ | EvolutionXtinct: if you want to make your ubuntu a router: ipamsq and dnsmasq is what you want. if you don't want to make it a NAT router you don't need a firewall | 08:21 |
| wols_ | *ipmasq | 08:22 |
| Rakeer | EvolutionXtinct: Yeah, tomato is pretty much flash and go...as long as your router supports it...dd-wrt is more advanced.. | 08:22 |
| cotton | Rakeer: the same ip block? can you explain that a little bit please? | 08:22 |
| sfreak | if you cannot use tomato or dd-wrt, learn some iptables and craft your own rules | 08:22 |
| hirak99 | google has released the source to their V8 javascript engine | 08:22 |
| wols_ | sfreak: worst choice | 08:22 |
| sfreak | awwwwww | 08:22 |
| cotton | do i have to assign a static ip from the router to the server? | 08:22 |
| Rakeer | hirak99: notify me when adobe releases their flash source :P | 08:22 |
| cotton | is that it? | 08:22 |
| cotton | cause it is using dhcp | 08:23 |
| Rakeer | static is always a good way to go... | 08:23 |
| wols_ | cotton: you don't have to but it helps. but this is not a ubuntu problem | 08:23 |
| bleck | seeyas, thanks for the help | 08:23 |
| cotton | ok thanks a lot. | 08:23 |
| cotton | that helped me a lot | 08:23 |
| cotton | gonna try with static | 08:23 |
| EvolutionXtinct | is that like truvio? the maker? | 08:23 |
| chimp | Gnome won't mount usb sticks for me through nautilus, it gives me the error "Unable to mount location" "Can't mount file", and due to this it also doesn't auto mount. Mounting at the command line still works. | 08:24 |

| Rakeer | COtton: lets say your router/gateway is 10.0.1.1, and your workstation is 10.0.1.2. Your server has to be withing the same block so 10.0.x.x | 08:24 |
| maxb | on one of my machines, synaptic, as run by update manager, often hangs at "Preparing packages" the first time I run it, but usually works after killing and retrying. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could debug at all? | 08:24 |

| ghaleb_ | wols_: any suggestions ? | 08:27 |

| drcheezenstein | Does any one knowof a virtual cd rom program for linux or if there is a way to install a game into cedega froman iso file? | 08:33 |
| wols_ | drcheezenstein: loop mount the iso files. you can mount the iso file like a partition. but only .iso, not .bin, not cdr, not mdf not img etc. iso only | 08:34 |
| wols_ | loop mount | 08:34 |
| ghaleb_ | wols_: magic errors! .. now, really thank you, solved | 08:34 |
| wols_ | erm, mount "-o loop" and rest like normal mount command | 08:34 |
| wols_ | ghaleb_: reboot helped? | 08:34 |

| drcheezenstein | wols_ can you talk to me in a private message? | 08:35 |
| wols_ | drcheezenstein: no. you are on autoignore now | 08:35 |
| drcheezenstein | why is that? | 08:36 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | jing-jang: you will need to start qtparted like so (in kde): kdesudo qtparted | 08:36 |
| wols_ | drcheezenstein: cause you messaged unasked | 08:36 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | jing-jang: the qtparted-root is not valid (i don't know why it gets set up like that) | 08:36 |
| drcheezenstein | Im sorry I wasnt aware that was a bad thing on irc now adays | 08:36 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | jing-jang: but if you are in gnome, you should prob be using gparted instead | 08:36 |
| wols_ | jing-jang: and you probably should onl yuse it when booting from a livecd | 08:37 |
| jing-jang | ushimitsudoki1: aha :) cheers, just found out that i need to intall kdesudo as well :) | 08:37 |
| OmgItsAShark | i just installed xubuntu | 08:37 |

| axisys | whats the diff between hybernate and suspend? which one will save me boot time for my laptop? | 08:37 |
| OmgItsAShark | it works much better with my older laptop is there a way that i can uninstall unbuntu without losing xubuntu | 08:37 |
| wols_ | OmgItsAShark: apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop might help | 08:38 |

| DaemonLee | Question, I'm trying to find a program in a GNOME enviroment to help with school assignments, like a log. Any suggestions? | 08:40 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | OmgItsAShark: yes. make sure you pay attention to the packages that are removed. if you have added some stuff since the "bare bones" install, you might lose them as other packages are removed | 08:40 |
| tom_ | Thanks | 08:40 |
| OmgItsAShark | i havent added anything ubuntu came with everything i needed | 08:41 |
| OmgItsAShark | as long as xubuntu has firefox pidgin and openoffice or similar i am happy as a clam | 08:41 |

| hateball | kindofabuzz: Remove trackerd if you dont need it | 08:47 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | OmgItsAShark: you will have to log out and log back in ...make sure you look at the "Sessions" available from the login manager and choose XFCE | 08:47 |
| magnetron | OmgItsAShark, make sure to use aptitude!!! | 08:47 |

| nano_ | geirha: what is meant by the ACPI temperature of TZS0 or TZS1...are these the temperatures of the 2 dual core processors? | 08:48 |
| geirha | kindofabuzz: sounds like the problem is that the game isn't grabbing keyboard focus | 08:48 |
| magnetron | OmgItsAShark, if you use apt-get instead of aptitude, you'll have a remove all xubuntu parts individually | 08:48 |
| hateball | kindofabuzz: and tracker-gnome, or something like that. Sounds like it anyhow | 08:48 |
| shentino | magnetron: what about apt-get autoremove? | 08:48 |
| kindofabuzz | geirha, yeah it's not for some reason | 08:48 |

| MikeSeth | BunTai: there are download managers | 08:52 |
| kindofabuzz | wait, tracker ain't it, still there, it's the box you get when you have no windows open, just the desktop and you start typing | 08:52 |
| cuil | shentino,i cannot play mp3 | 08:52 |
| geirha | kindofabuzz: hehe, me neither, though I suspect it's not tracker, but rather nautilus that gets the keyboard focus | 08:52 |
| BunTai | MikeSeth : whats the name | 08:53 |
| shentino | cuil: Partial success? Error messages? | 08:53 |

| BunTai | wget | 08:54 |
| geirha | kindofabuzz: Yes. | 08:54 |
| shentino | If you need an mp3 player, you probably need the gstreamer codecs. Check your package manager | 08:54 |
| kindofabuzz | geirha, know how to disable it by any chance? | 08:54 |
| shentino | Any better of a guess and you'll need to tell me how you're trying to play them | 08:54 |

| kindofabuzz | geirha, it will alow me to type in my password! =) | 08:55 |
| geirha | kindofabuzz: No, because you are getting that search box because gw isn't grabbing the focus | 08:56 |

| marko-_- | why won't su work Flannel ? | 08:58 |

| marko-_- | Flannel, but let's say someone was on your computer and he would know your password... he could unlock the rooc account ? | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | Orchid`, i believe there is a linux script to install SL, no need for the .exe's | 09:00 |

| kindofabuzz | geirha, k thanks | 09:01 |
| marko-_- | Flannel, because he would | 09:01 |
| sparr | balachmar: you need x11vnc, or something similar | 09:01 |
| Flannel | marko-_-: Why would you let anyone else know your password? | 09:01 |
| marko-_- | then he could unlock it, set a password and control my computer | 09:01 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | jing-jang: qtparted is not a good as gparted (you should be able to resize a partition if you unmount it first and then double click on it tho) .... if you keep having big troubles maybe consider gparted | 09:01 |
| morningwalker | can i have yum on ubuntu?? | 09:01 |
| Flannel | marko-_-: He could already control your computer with just your password. | 09:01 |
| kindofabuzz | geirha, i think i found my problem, i had allow wm to control the window unchecked | 09:02 |
| jing-jang | ushimitsudoki1: oki doki will try gparted :) | 09:02 |

| shentino | cuil: sounds like you're missing codecs. Search for "gstreamer" with synaptic | 09:05 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | jing-jang: you will need a live cd and then repartition the target partition. you need to be VERY CAREFUL or you will lose data - if you care about that | 09:05 |

| Oli`` | Which package, Blaise | 09:08 |
| aconrad | hi, I just installed ubuntu and I previously had an old machine running netscape mail. What's the recommended email application to use in ubuntu ? I see Evolution seems to be the default, but I was thinking about Thunderbird | 09:08 |
| marko-_- | Flannel, nothing, i know. but why is there even an option for an root account ? | 09:08 |
| shentino | mutt? | 09:08 |
| aconrad | nah | 09:08 |
| Blaise | Al virtualbox-ose* packages | 09:08 |
| DJones | vibhor: You need to install the ext2fs driver in windows so that you can see your linux partition, give me minute while I find a link for you | 09:08 |
| Blaise | Oli``: virtualbox-ose* packages | 09:08 |
| Flannel | marko-_-: the root account itself is used heavily in *nix systems. But there's really no reason (when you're using sudo) to log in as root, which is why we disable it. | 09:09 |
| geirha | !ext3 | vibhor | 09:09 |
| ubottu | vibhor: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 09:09 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | aconrad: if you only use one machine and one DE, then use the mail app that comes with that DE (in Ubuntu, then, that is Evolution). If you move around more, then you might want something more "cross platform" like Thunderbird | 09:09 |
| marko-_- | Flannel, aha, ok. | 09:09 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | aconrad: that is my thinking on the matter anyway | 09:09 |
| Oli`` | Blaise: Try the non-open version from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads - It's a .deb download so it's just a double-click to install. You might need to scrub the -ose version first though. | 09:09 |
| DJones | vibhor: see the link ubottu/geirha just sent you, that was what i was looking for | 09:10 |
| Blaise | Oli``: I think this may have the answer | 09:10 |
| Orchid` | apparrently getdeb.com is down or something, for it wont respond to my browser, which is where a few articles say to get the SL viewer, errr any other ideas? | 09:10 |
| Orchid` | and yes i did attempt the terminal run through but i kept fialing | 09:10 |

| ActionParsnip | bdmm: is it wired or wireless? | 09:38 |
| thefish | bdmm: then your route is messed up possibly | 09:38 |

| ActionParsnip | bdmm: tried a new wire? | 09:39 |
| thefish | bdmm: when you get a dhcp address, you cant ping the dhcp server from it? | 09:39 |
| bdmm | havent tried that, thefish, although it seems doubtful, considering I cant even reach my gateway | 09:40 |
| bdmm | Ill try though | 09:40 |
| thefish | bdmm: to confirm, the vbox guest gets network connection fine? | 09:40 |
| bdmm | thats right, chatting from it right now | 09:40 |

| codename | I've always just used Xchat | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: ok, you see where it says Configured Video Device...that means you are on the failsafe drive (no 3d support yet) | 10:14 |

| zaggynl | editing xorg.conf is still a fun job it appears :> | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: under the Identifier line, you need to add the 2 lines from the web page I sent you | 10:24 |

| amanulla | ok | 10:32 |
| niiix | is it normal that my ubuntu installation requires me to reboot after the creation of a group? I mean: io create a group. I add a user to that group and then I associate a folder to that group. That user won't access that folder until reboot. Isn't it strange? | 10:32 |

| slightglitch | Pirate_Hunter: sudo is the way to go. | 10:38 |
| Flannel | Pirate_Hunter: su won't work, you don't have root unlocked. use sudo (sudo -i will open a root shell if you can't live without one) | 10:38 |
| airtonix | Pirate_Hunter, you could also try this : sudo -k xterm | 10:38 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: "XMU library not found", it says... This translates to packagename libxmu-dev | 10:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flannel, airtonix: thanx it is that im using an unprividge account at the moment and swapping to my account is a waste of time, i need to figure out how to gain my sudo privilidge inside this account | 10:40 |

| Theaxiom | Flannel: Thank you | 10:41 |
| airtonix | Flannel, have you much experience with conky | 10:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flannel, airtonix: is i use sudo -i it asks for the current user password but they are not in the sudo group is their a way i can make it for my account inside their account? | 10:41 |
| allan_ | command to find the size of a FOLDER IS du -sh | 10:42 |
| airtonix | Pirate_Hunter, not that i am aware of | 10:42 |
| airtonix | Pirate_Hunter, i could be wrong though | 10:42 |

| yugo_ | Have anyone tried to setup seamless windowsXP in ubuntu ? | 10:47 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver only reason you need to compile gimp on ubuntu is if the default gimp that is already there by default doesnt provide features you require | 10:47 |
| holyguyver | airtonix you are a very smart man ;) | 10:48 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver having said that , have you looked at gimpad? | 10:48 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, I am trying to compile gimpshop | 10:49 |

| holyguyver | airtonix, I have never heard of gimpad, what is it? | 10:49 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver have a look at the site for gimpad..gimpshop is merely a re-arrangment of menu items afaik | 10:49 |
| Flannel | !anyone | Charles_F | 10:50 |

| Theaxiom | How do I add permissions to a folder to allow a certain user full access? | 10:50 |
| wols_ | !permissions > Theaxiom | 10:50 |
| ubottu | Theaxiom, please see my private message | 10:50 |
| shentino | Theaxiom: Probably use acl's | 10:51 |
| shentino | !permissions | 10:51 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 10:51 |
| shentino | ah | 10:51 |
| Charles_F | I cannot get sudo to work it complains that the /etc/sudoers file is corrupted. tried to start in Recovery mode to get a root login and that is now asking for the root password.... which I don't know. | 10:51 |
| Flannel | Charles_F: try ctrl-D | 10:52 |
| Charles_F | I did and it dropped me back at the menu screen | 10:52 |
| shentino | Charles: Boot from the install CD, use rescue mode? | 10:52 |
| wols_ | Charles_F: init=/bin/sh as kernel parameter and you will be root and no password asked | 10:52 |
| Charles_F | If i re-install from CD will I lose all my settings? | 10:53 |
| shentino | No, | 10:53 |
| shentino | RESCUE | 10:53 |
| shentino | not install | 10:53 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver : although be aware that gimphoto still has a far way to go before it works properly...althoug h the concept it presents should set quiet those addicted to created 4chan photoframes in photoshop | 10:53 |
| amanulla | airtonix:im on the way can you pls solve my problem? | 10:53 |
| Flannel | Charles_F: you can use a liveCD to fix your sudoers file | 10:53 |
| shentino | meh, what flannel said. Same diff :) | 10:53 |
| airtonix | amanulla, can you describe your problem to me from the start? | 10:53 |
| amanulla | ok | 10:54 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, I am having trouble understanding how I am supposed to put the isntallation files together. | 10:54 |
| Charles_F | My Kbd is a I downloaded the iso from the site but i am not sure it is the LIVECD Is it? | 10:54 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver : you & me both...lol | 10:54 |
| Charles_F | Sorry typo | 10:54 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver : what stage are you at.. | 10:54 |
| wols_ | Charles_F: then do what I told you if you don't have a ubuntu CD | 10:54 |
| holyguyver | Then why are you advertising it if you cannot even install it? | 10:54 |
| shentino | Charles: you need to BOOT from the livecd/install cd | 10:55 |
| holyguyver | I am at the stage of reading all of the info before I do anything. | 10:55 |
| airtonix | jakobsine, holyguyver : have you downloaded the linux version? there is about 7 portions you have to re-combine first | 10:55 |
| aaron | that's right thing | 10:55 |
| Charles_F | Where can i download the Live CD | 10:55 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: airtonix has a point, if you wanna install gimp, just `sudo apt-get install gimp`, that's a lot easier... | 10:55 |
| wols_ | Charles_F: you already have it when you installed ubuntu | 10:56 |
| cada | Is it possible to play streaming realaudio in rhytmbox? | 10:56 |
| amanulla | airtonix:im unable to see advanced desktop effects what to do? | 10:56 |
| Charles_F | I did have it but then upgraded online to next version | 10:56 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, you silly silly man, you should know gimp comes preinstalled on Ubuntu | 10:56 |
| airtonix | the only thing i like about photoshop over gimp is its mdi interface..i think fireworks puts one up on both gimp and pthoshop in this regard since when you first start it you can change between mdi and sdi mode | 10:56 |
| Flannel | Charles_F: releases.ubuntu.com you want the "desktop" cd | 10:56 |
| wols_ | Charles_F: the old CD will work fine | 10:56 |
| Charles_F | If I still had the old CD LOL | 10:57 |
| jakobsine | airtonix: oh no, I'm not gonna compile gimp :-) | 10:57 |
| amanulla | airtonix:i need to configure my graphics card | 10:57 |
| Charles_F | Been very lax here I realise apologies for being an airhead | 10:57 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, & airtonix All I want is a gimp that is within one window. | 10:57 |
| wols_ | amanulla: what videocard? | 10:57 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: so, a newer version that the one already installed? | 10:57 |
| airtonix | amanulla, ok let me see if i got his right: you try to enable it via the system -> preferences -> appearance gui, and choose one of the two bottom options in the visual effects tab...the result your getting is it telling you 'cant enable 3d effects" or similar? | 10:58 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, me too. i think this is gimpad intended purpose | 10:58 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, but why did they have to split it into so many pieces, why not just make one /deb out of it? | 10:59 |
| Charles_F | PC (Intel x86) desktop CD This one? | 10:59 |
| shentino | Sounds about right... | 10:59 |
| Flannel | Charles_F: yes | 10:59 |
| Charles_F | Ok Chers all | 10:59 |
| Charles_F | Cheers all! LOL | 11:00 |
| _moro_bana_ | is there a probleme with the installer on 8.04.i was using a dvd which i took from linux format and after installaton it keeps asking the password and never goes to next step.help | 11:00 |
| Charles_F | Not Cher ;-) | 11:00 |
| zakaria | #ubuntu-fr | 11:00 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, he split because he has issues with his internet connection | 11:00 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, http://www.gimphoto.com/2008/08/gimphoto-143-for-linux-released.html | 11:00 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, then he needs better friends :p | 11:00 |
| Ampelbein | _moro_bana_: no error message and nothing? | 11:00 |
| amanulla | my card is:Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controlle | 11:01 |
| nate_ | ok can someone lead me by the hand with my problem? | 11:01 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: Actually I don't get what you're trying to acheive... The pastebin looks as you're building gimp-2.2.8, but the version in ubuntu currently is 2.4.something ?? | 11:01 |
| amanulla | my card is:Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 11:01 |
| wols_ | !ask > nate_ | 11:01 |
| ubottu | nate_, please see my private message | 11:01 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, yeah apart from that i think the holdback is the windows version is getting primary focus | 11:01 |
| wols_ | amanulla: glxinfo |grep direct | 11:01 |
| Charles_F | Other prob is I havea usb kbd which is not working at boot menu | 11:01 |
| shentino | !ask > shentino | 11:01 |
| ubottu | shentino, please see my private message | 11:01 |
| helios | how i can get the model of my motherboard? | 11:01 |
| _moro_bana_ | Ampelbein: nothing, it just keeps coming back to ask the password, installed for the second time but still... | 11:01 |
| helios | (in ubuntu) | 11:01 |
| Charles_F | I guess i will have to find an old one to use | 11:01 |
| wols_ | Charles_F: BIOS problem | 11:01 |
| amanulla | wols_:glxinfo |grep direct what to do with this? | 11:02 |
| wols_ | amanulla: type it! | 11:02 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, I don't know why the windows one would, all my friends either run Linux or Mac. | 11:02 |
| aaron | wols, i have the windows XP and ubuntu OS, if i want, should i safely delete the ubuntu, need i amend the MBR? | 11:02 |
| Ampelbein | _moro_bana_: and you are sure you entered the correct password and username? this must match the values you gave during the installation. | 11:03 |
| wols_ | aaron: yes you will need to rewrite your MBR | 11:03 |
| amanulla | wols_:in terminal? | 11:03 |
| aaron | wols, how to do that? | 11:03 |
| wols_ | aaron: ##windows | 11:03 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, I already explained I am trying to achieve a gimp that runs in one window. | 11:03 |
| Charles_F | wols: I guess BIOS prob but not sure what to do with it | 11:03 |
| _moro_bana_ | Ampelbein: yes im am sure because if i enter wrong pass, it would let me know of that. | 11:04 |
| wols_ | biella_: configure your BIOS correctly. this is OT here | 11:04 |
| aaron | wols, so i type ##windows in the terminal, right? | 11:04 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: And that you get from getting an older version? | 11:04 |
| wols_ | aaron: no. you join the ##windows IRC channel | 11:04 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, that older version is gimpshop, not gimp | 11:04 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, well im not sure and its only my theory...but somewhere on his site he mentions that he lives in a place with alot of piracy mainly of windows & windows based software | 11:04 |
| wols_ | aaron: we do not support windows here. you have a windows problem | 11:04 |
| aaron | ok, i see it | 11:05 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, so i was thinking he wanted to take care of that issue first | 11:05 |
| _moro_bana_ | Ampelbein: i ll try installing 7.10 and upgrade from the cd maybe. is ubuntu available on dvd except for ubuntu ultimate? | 11:05 |
| Ampelbein | _moro_bana_: try logging in at terminal (strg-alt-f1), does that work? | 11:05 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: ok now I get it :-s | 11:05 |
| amanulla | ActionParsnip:im waiting for you? | 11:05 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, I, my friend Thomas Stewart, Thomas Minkler, & Jake run Linux, My friend Alecia & my girlfriend Hannah, & my ex fiancee Corrine run Mac :) | 11:05 |
| amanulla | where are you? | 11:05 |
| helios | how i can get the model of my motherboard? (in ubuntu) | 11:06 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: Well if they haven't release a .deb file, building yourself is the way to go. | 11:06 |
| airtonix | :) | 11:06 |
| amanulla | ActionParsnip:im on the way pls help me | 11:06 |
| Charles_F | wols: any idea how to get the KBD to work on startup? | 11:06 |
| Charles_F | If it is a BIOS patch then i will just live with it LOL | 11:07 |
| aaron | wols, i have two hard disk, SATA type and ATA type; i install windows in the SATA one and ubuntu in the ATA one; when i cut off power of SATA hard disk, i can't log in ubuntu which installed in the ATA hard disk; | 11:07 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, they have released a deb file, but when I installed it, it didn't do anything. | 11:07 |
| Charles_F | I have an old KBD that does work | 11:07 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, in the end i got it downloaded and installed...but i dont think i could find the mdi mode.. | 11:07 |
| _moro_bana_ | Ampelbein: it will require me to reboot, i have duaboot. but whats strg? what is supposed to happen when i do that before i reboot? | 11:07 |
| aaron | wols, it noticed that lost of GRUB | 11:08 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, but have you considered other methods of enforcing a mdi mode on gimp? like xnest | 11:08 |
| [Ex0r] | anyone know how to save my default network settings? (Every time i restart my computer i have to unlock network connections, resetup my wap stuff, and wait for changes) | 11:08 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, yes I have | 11:08 |
| adac | I try to compile c code like that: gcc -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wall -O1 -shared -fPIC testplugin.c testgtk.c -o testplugin.so -export-dynamic `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` unfortunately I get this error: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccKaIm5U.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `error_dialog' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value. Any ideas how to solve this? | 11:08 |
| Ampelbein | _moro_bana_: woops, sorry. meant ctrl-alt-f1. damn german layout ;-) | 11:08 |
| wols_ | aaron: more info needed | 11:09 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, there might be another way | 11:09 |
| [Ex0r] | anyone know ? | 11:09 |
| Ampelbein | _moro_bana_: you will be logged in on an text console. that way we'll see if something with your user-account is wrong. | 11:09 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, have you seen what the gnome-swallow-applet does? | 11:09 |
| wols_ | [Ex0r]: man interfaces | 11:09 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, nope, never even heard of it | 11:09 |
| Badboy_ | my c compiler is not working!!!! | 11:10 |
| airtonix | it forces any application to dock into the gnome-panel | 11:10 |
| cypher | irc://us.quakenet.org/armake21-show | 11:10 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, so, i was thinking ther is another app called g-inspector | 11:10 |
| wols_ | cypher: don't spam. you did this the 2nd time already | 11:10 |
| spectacular | trying to run vobcopy, i'm getting "[Info] Path to dvd: /dev/scd0 // [Error] Path thingy didn't work '/dev/scd0' // [Error] Try something like -i /cdrom, /dvd or /mnt/dvd" My dvd is mounted from /dev/scd0 onto /media/cdrom0 . If i try vobcopy -i /media/cdrom0 , though, I get the same exact error. any ideas? | 11:10 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, I don't want them to be grouped together. | 11:11 |
| krishna | can i get a best anti virus in ubutnu | 11:11 |
| _moro_bana_ | Ampelbein: aah , we'll get the usernames and their corresponding passes from there right? | 11:11 |
| wols_ | !av | krishna | 11:11 |
| ubottu | krishna: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 11:11 |
| [Ex0r] | wols_- I tried looking at that but couldn't really make much sense of it | 11:11 |
| Badboy_ | whenever I am making cc or gcc command there is no error but no object file is created | 11:11 |
| aaron | wols, can i email you ? | 11:11 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, aye bit messy. if you get gimpshop going let me know | 11:11 |
| wols_ | aaron: do not talk to me anymore please | 11:11 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, or even gimpad | 11:11 |
| holyguyver | Krishna , how do you get all of those beautiful groovey girls to fallow you? | 11:12 |
| wols_ | [Ex0r]: not enough info given | 11:12 |
| aaron | wols, sorry | 11:12 |
| [Ex0r] | according to the /etc/network/interfaces file, wlan0 is setup for auto but when I restart my computer i have to set it up again | 11:12 |
| krishna | is there any way to control collisions in torrents | 11:12 |
| wols_ | [Ex0r]: you need to configure you WPA settings and the like as well | 11:12 |
| krishna | when i am downlaoding any file in torrents i am getting collisions in my network | 11:13 |
| holyguyver | Krishna can you give me a few of those flower girls, I will treat them really nice | 11:13 |
| [Ex0r] | wols_- all that is already configured for it. but like i said when I restart none of it takes effect. | 11:13 |
| === krishna is now known as pal_ | ||

| ubottu | [Ex0r], please see my private message | 11:13 |
| pal_ | when i am downlaoding any file in torrents i am getting collisions in my network | 11:13 |
| holyguyver | airtonix, & jakobsine thanks for all your help. | 11:13 |
| airtonix | holyguyver, no worries | 11:14 |
| [Ex0r] | wols_ - Every time I restart the computer, I have to use the little icon at the top of the screen (Manual network configuration), unlock the devices for my user, than re-input my WPA key than close out of the network configuration for changes to take affect. | 11:14 |
| amanulla | airtonix:can u listen to me? | 11:15 |
| Badboy_ | I tried Anjuta IDE. It is creating Object file. But the file is not executing even after giving execute permission | 11:15 |
| [Ex0r] | I don't get any errors, just that problem every time. | 11:15 |
| elkbuntu | wols_, you're being blunt to the point of rudeness. please try be more personable. | 11:15 |
| Badboy_ | HELP!!!!!! | 11:15 |
| Mavrik | BaD-Laptop, only object file? or does it create a binary? | 11:15 |
| Mavrik | er | 11:15 |
| Mavrik | Badboy_, | 11:15 |
| Badboy_ | No | 11:16 |
| Badboy_ | it is not laptop | 11:16 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver:or get wine and run photoshop 7, that works relly well. | 11:16 |
| [Ex0r] | and my /etc/network/interfaces file is setup for both my lo and wlan0 both set to auto (and wlan0 has the wpa info setup), yet I have to still do that every time. | 11:16 |
| romeo_ | hello ll | 11:16 |
| murugan | exit | 11:16 |
| wols_ | elkbuntu: he PMed me. and I said "please" | 11:16 |
| pal_ | can i get effected by virus in linux due to any files | 11:17 |
| wols_ | and I told him in PM why I ignore him | 11:17 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, I refuse to, I have never & will never run photoshop because it is propriatary. | 11:17 |
| elkbuntu | wols_, you pm'd [Ex0r] ? | 11:17 |
| [Ex0r] | nope | 11:17 |
| holyguyver | Stallman is king! | 11:18 |
| [Ex0r] | elkbuntu- that was a message from ubottu | 11:18 |
| holyguyver | & Linus is is queen :p | 11:19 |
| Badboy_ | I don't know why my cc or gcc compiler is not working from terminal! my Add/remove program list is confirming that they are installed | 11:19 |
| elkbuntu | holyguyver, this is not appropriate for a support channel. | 11:19 |
| holyguyver | & gnus & Penguins for all. | 11:19 |
| wols_ | !errors > Badboy_ | 11:19 |
| ubottu | Badboy_, please see my private message | 11:19 |
| holyguyver | elkbuntu, I am just showing my support. | 11:19 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver: Rightly so. Photoshop is good, though. Krita is another option... I haven't really tried it myself though. | 11:19 |
| [Ex0r] | i also need to find out how to disable my on-board sound and use my pci-sound, so that the volume in linux works correctly. | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | Badboy_: install build-essential | 11:20 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine, I have tried krita, but krita & photoshop cannot do what I need them to do. | 11:20 |
| wols_ | EXT4: no. but I certainly wasn't rude to him. and I am not psychic. all [Ex0r] says "it doesn't work". no one can troubleshoot that over IRC. if you can you're welcome | 11:20 |
| wols_ | elkbuntu: ^^ | 11:20 |
| elkbuntu | [Ex0r], thats not the 'blunt to the point of rudness' i was referring to though. if i were a newbie i'd be waiting until him stopped responding before asking for fear of having 'not enough info given' barked at me in a bot-like manner. | 11:21 |
| amanulla | airtonix:i can enable extra effects | 11:21 |
| amanulla | in visual effects | 11:21 |
| [Ex0r] | elkbuntu- ah, I see. Yeah, I did explain what the problem was 2 or three times too. | 11:21 |
| amanulla | tab | 11:21 |
| elkbuntu | [Ex0r], that doesnt excuse rudeness. | 11:21 |
| [Ex0r] | elkbuntu- no i know. | 11:22 |
| wols_ | elkbuntu: so please enlighten me. read the backlog and tell me what his problem is | 11:22 |
| holyguyver | jako I need it to be able to open a .xcf file. | 11:22 |
| ijn | hi all | 11:22 |
| ijn | where is the plugin directory for epiphany-browser in ubuntu? | 11:23 |
| ijn | I need to install flash from ter.gz | 11:23 |
| [Ex0r] | wols_- like i've said three times before, I want to find out WHY even though my /etc/network/interfaces file says that wlan0 should be automatically configured, every time I turn on the computer I have to reconfigure it in order to get online. | 11:23 |
| ijn | does anyone know? | 11:24 |
| Theaxiom | Is there a way to make stuff skip the recycle bin? I never use my recycle bin... | 11:24 |
| holyguyver | jakobsine , I need it to be able to open a .xcf file. | 11:24 |
| ijn | it ask me for a vaild dir? | 11:24 |
| wols_ | [Ex0r]: with the info you gave so far we cannot tell you. either you give me pertinent info, like what you need to config again exactly, waht is in your interfaces file, how youw WPA supplicant is configured, etc. Either you tell us this or you hire a psychic. your choice | 11:24 |
| elkbuntu | wols_, this isnt about whether or not they gave the info. it's about how you're talking *at* people. | 11:24 |
| Badboy_ | After giving cc ab.c I am getting the following message:ab.c: In function ‘main’: | 11:25 |

| ijn | I use /usr/lib/epiphany-browser | 11:25 |
| ijn | but is not vallid | 11:25 |
| wols_ | elkbuntu: have fun making the factoids more friendly if you don't like them. they are official ubuntu factoids. last but not least this is OT here imho. good day | 11:25 |
| Theaxiom | I meant, is there any way to directly delete files without them going to the trash first? | 11:25 |
| cleanux | yeah, using the terminal | 11:26 |
| [Ex0r] | wols_- If you read the back log, you would also see that I also provided that information as well. I told you I need to configure the entire thing again (I have to unlock the interfaces, than reconfigure the wpa keys for the interface) on every single restart, and I also told you what was in my /etc/network/interfaces file as well | 11:26 |
| cleanux | ;) | 11:26 |
| wols_ | Badboy_: I'd ask ##c if I were you, not #ubuntu | 11:26 |
| ijn | does anyone use epiphany-browser here? | 11:26 |
| Theaxiom | cleanux: Of course, but I meant from the GUI, thanks. | 11:26 |
| cleanux | Theaxiom, are you using gnome? | 11:26 |
| Theaxiom | cleanux: Yes I am. | 11:26 |
| wols_ | [Ex0r]: imho you didn't. since you are unwilling to provide the info, please ask someone else. I will ignore you if you do likewise. maybe elkbuntu can help (good luck) | 11:26 |
| cleanux | Theaxiom, press shift+delete when you've got the file selected :) | 11:27 |
| wols_ | Theaxiom: rm <file> | 11:27 |
| Theaxiom | cleanux: Thanks, just like in windows. I appreciate it. | 11:27 |
| cypher | irc://us.quakenet.org/armake21-show | 11:27 |
| cypher | 0_o | 11:27 |
| [Ex0r] | That's fine if you ignore me, it's not my fault you were arrogant enough to ignore what i've told you, and that the information i've provided you you do not understand. Thanks for trying anyways. | 11:27 |
| wols_ | elkbuntu: can you tell cypher to stop that? he's doing it for the 3rd time already | 11:27 |
| compengi | Badboy_, why you want to use IDE. isn't gcc better? | 11:28 |
| dougsko | [Ex0r]: having a line like, auto eth0, in your interfaces file will not automatically set it up for you. that just brings it up like, ifconfig <if> up | 11:28 |
| ijn | does anyone use epiphany-browser here? | 11:28 |
| wols_ | thank you | 11:28 |
| Badboy_ | no actually i tried gcc first | 11:28 |
| wols_ | dougsko: not really | 11:28 |
| ijn | hi all | 11:28 |
| Badboy_ | But it was'nt working | 11:28 |
| ijn | does anyone use epiphany-browser here? | 11:28 |
| wols_ | Badboy_: have you installed build-essential? | 11:28 |
| compengi | Badboy_, why is that | 11:29 |
| [Ex0r] | elkbuntu- could you be of some assistance to me ? My /etc/network/interfaces file shows both my lo and wlan0 interfaces (wlan0 showing the wpa information), and both are set to auto, yet every time I restart my computer, I have to go into network configuration, unlock the interfaces (using the unlock button), and than have to re-configure the wpa key for the interface before it's finally able to connect. | 11:29 |
| Theaxiom | !ot | Ex0r | 11:29 |
| ubottu | Ex0r: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 11:29 |
| Badboy_ | well let me check | 11:29 |
| ijn | is there a channel for epiphany-browser | 11:29 |
| dougsko | wols_: from the man page: "Lines beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physical interfaces to be brought up when ifup is run with the -a option. | 11:29 |
| Kasra[K] | hi all | 11:29 |

| wols_ | dougsko: I know the interfaces file, but what you said is not enough to configure an interface | 11:29 |
| Theaxiom | elkbuntu: No, there was flaming going on before. | 11:30 |
| Kasra[K] | can any one help me? | 11:30 |

| elkbuntu | Theaxiom, it wasnt flaming. | 11:30 |
| compengi | !ask | Kasra[K] | 11:30 |
| wols_ | Theaxiom: you use the "ati" driver (not fglrx | 11:30 |
| ubottu | Kasra[K]: 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. :-) | 11:30 |
| Kasra[K] | :) | 11:30 |
| Kasra[K] | ok | 11:30 |
| amanulla | Kasra[K:dont ask tell what do want | 11:30 |
| dougsko | wols_: all i said was that the "auto" keyword does not config anything. it just brings the nic up | 11:30 |
| Theaxiom | elkbuntu: Okay I must have misinterpreted it, sorry. | 11:30 |
| The_Wolf | it hsould be supported by the ati driver, but when i change it in the xorg.conf x wants to start in low graphics mode | 11:30 |
| wols_ | The_Wolf: see above | 11:30 |
| jakobsine | holyguyver you still here? Have you tried http://rs340.rapidshare.com/files/86270575/gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb ? | 11:31 |
| [Ex0r] | dougsko- the rest is already configured in the file. | 11:31 |

| [Ex0r] | wols_- The only thing remotely close to anything network related is in syslog, called NetworkManager, and it deals with eth0 | 11:39 |

| amanulla | wols_:im waiting for your answer | 11:41 |
| wols_ | and empty xorg.conf would work fine if the rest is configured properly. default xorg.conf, run X, then check your Xorg logs | 11:41 |

| === fdd-0 is now known as fdd_ | ||
| wols_ | lyte: add it to fstab | 11:51 |
| lyte | wols_, does that mean when i plug it in it will get mounted there? or will it try to mount it every boot? | 11:51 |
| === fdd_ is now known as Guest48574 | ||
| wols_ | lyte: afaik it should be mounted there when plugged in. depends a bit on automounter IIRC | 11:52 |
| wols_ | lyte: and fstab can be configured both ways, mount on request or mount always | 11:52 |
| lyte | wols_, ok i'll give it ago, i thought fstab was only at boot stuff... explains why my googling has been failing | 11:52 |
| lyte | ok | 11:52 |
| wols_ | lyte: to not mount on boot, use option "noauto" | 11:53 |

| filthpig | Hmm, I can't get the Eee to boot from my mem stick, it is partitioned to vfat. Should I try to format it to i.e. ext3 to see if it works then, or is it simply that my mem stick is not bootable? | 12:01 |

| mAritz | hi, my unterstanding is, that the ubuntu install recognizes windows installations. this does not work for me. neither in the partitioning part, nor does (when partitioning is done manually) grub. i tried to edit the menu.lst myself, but that messed up a lot and nothing worked anymore. (comp didn't even get to grub anymore. i got that fixed and want to install ubuntu again now.) what do i have to do, so ubuntu recognizes my windows? | 12:16 |

| bringatowel | AzizLight, go to ~/Documents and do "ls -l" and check the permissions on ~/Documents/www | 12:37 |

| amanulla | ActionParsnip:pls reply to me | 12:39 |
| AzizLight | bringatowel: yes | 12:39 |
| wols_ | AzizLight: the permission of the symlink is not relevent. /var/www/ perms are important | 12:39 |
| wols_ | AzizLight: nad in your case the owner especially | 12:39 |
| genius | AzizLight: maybe /home or /home/user is not world-readable | 12:39 |

| wols_ | genius: you're mistaken in more than one way. | 12:42 |
| AzizLight | genius: still doesnt work | 12:42 |
| bringatowel | GogoMyEggo, you can add them to /etc/sudoers but they still have to enter a password (their normal password) when using sudo | 12:42 |
| wols_ | genius: now tell him to undo the damage you've done please | 12:42 |
| AzizLight | wols_: btw what's nad ? :S | 12:43 |
| genius | AzizLight: please sudo chmod /home o-w ; sudo chmod /home/user o-w | 12:43 |
| wols_ | genius: how does this unmake the damage? do you know that suddenly NO file needs to be world writable? | 12:44 |
| genius | wols_: it just make w/w directory | 12:44 |
| wols_ | genius: read how permissions work. you really need to read it again before giving any more advice | 12:45 |

| dougsko | negge: if you ever run into a situation where you cant umount something because its busy, but you really need to, you can do a umount -l <mount point> | 13:13 |
| negge | dougsko thanks, I'll write that down | 13:13 |

| negge | qr I still get "Bad substition" error | 14:06 |

| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip, Does that make 7z's open in a diff program or the same program as zip's rar's etc? (file roller) | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: 7z x compressedfile.7z | 14:07 |

| negge | qr nope | 14:07 |

| qr | negge: actually, are you trying to do the replacement in the variable contents or in a file on disc? | 14:07 |
| itsmrt | luckydeveloper: I think you need libgtk2.0-dev, if you're using gtk+ you need the corresponding gtk+[something]-dev | 14:07 |

| kindofabuzz | luckydeveloper, all preference | 14:36 |
| iSTRONG | ok. i re-added the admin group and put myself in it. now do i need to type a command to grant the "admin" group the correct priviledges? | 14:37 |
| Xinfection | actionparsnip: yep, but that only bar leaves much space for programms :) i use it quite rarely | 14:37 |
| Xinfection | i prefer gnome | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | luckydeveloper: just like some people really like compiz but i personally cant stand it | 14:37 |
| compengi | bazhang, please if you would like to search something in ubottu's brain you could do this by /msg ubottu <factoid>. to prevent the channel from flood and confusion | 14:37 |

| ActionParsnip | Xinfection: only holds my web browser, plus I made them small so I can fit more. I use yakuake most | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | strAlan: stop the system and in prefs you should be able to enable the virtual network adapter | 14:38 |
| jimcooncat | ActionParsnip, erUSUL: imagemagick worked well for that conversion. Thanks much. | 14:38 |

| iSTRONG | phew | 14:40 |
| unicum | could someone give me a hand setting up the /etc/sudoers to my liking? | 14:40 |
| danyalo | hello every body :D | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jimcooncat: awesome | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jimcooncat: it does a lot, look into it more, you'll be amazed | 14:40 |
| Chevy | hello everybody ................. | 14:40 |
| qr__ | unicum: man sudoers has all the information you will ever need to write a sudoers file | 14:40 |
| zoed | So I used the same event hook as that plugin, folder.changed. But my c method that is supposed to be the handle is not called! | 14:40 |
| unicum | the user i set the box up for is supposed NOT to have root-rights. i already set up a root account, so i guess i'm good to go, but what exactly do i have to do | 14:40 |

| jimcooncat | ActionParsnip: yes, I used it before in years past -- but because it's not in my Graphics menu, I keep forgetting about it. | 14:41 |
| unicum | qr well, i guess, though usually a little help is much quicker then reading man-pages.. well, i'll give it a shot | 14:41 |
| zoed | Can anybody help me with the evolution plugin? | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jimcooncat: haha nice | 14:41 |
| mgolisch | ActionParsnip: i think the only purpose of that group is to be used with sudo, there is a rule in the sudoers file which allows each user in that group to use sudo with its own suer password | 14:41 |
| Rabbitbunny | zoed: use one line to state your problem, get more help. | 14:42 |

| lenin | My headset is working fine....but here is the problem | 14:43 |
| lenin | I cant seem to figure out how to get sound coming from JUST the headset. Usually it will have sound from the speakers AND the headset at the sametime | 14:43 |
| G3N0 | qr__: and then how do i close something? | 14:43 |
| zoed | It's based on the mail notification plugin, so it should work. | 14:43 |
| iSTRONG | why isn't my "root" user part of my "root" group? | 14:43 |
| qr__ | G3N0: um, the best way is to use the program's own shutdown command, but if you want something to just go away do sudo kill -9 pid_of_the_program | 14:43 |

| maxb | Something weird seems to be broken in my gnome menu editor. I right click the existing menu, choose "Edit menus", any try to tick some more "Show" checkboxes - and they just keep unticking themselves. Any idea how to debug? | 16:40 |
| kai` | hey guys. i just installed ssh server on my ubuntu system. but how can i configure it, that the ssh daemon starts at every boot? | 16:40 |
| Iradieh | monster: how? | 16:40 |
| Phantomas | my friend has a problem... he installed ubuntu 8.04 and when he shutdown his pc ubuntu unloads, disks turn off but the rest of the system is still running .. | 16:40 |
| Myrtti | kai`: it probably already does | 16:40 |
| regeya | sounds like apm isn't working, Phantomas...other than that, I wouldn't know | 16:41 |
| FloodBot3 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 16:41 |
| kai` | Myrtti: So then Ubuntu starts ssh daemon on bootup by default when someone installs it? | 16:41 |
| regeya | thank you for the flooding bot | 16:41 |
| Zal0m0n | so girls and boys, any surplus experts here? | 16:41 |
| wols_ | kai`: yes. that someone must be able to use sudo | 16:41 |
| Phantomas | regeya: what is apm and how can i solve it please | 16:42 |
| wols_ | kai`: ls /etc/rc2.d/*ssh* | 16:42 |
| Myrtti | kai`: if you install ssh-server, the postinst scripts are usually installed | 16:42 |
| regeya | !apm | 16:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apm | 16:42 |
| wols_ | Myrtti: postinst scripts are "installed" with every package if there are some... | 16:42 |
| Myrtti | wols_: sorry, got distracted | 16:42 |
| wols_ | Myrtti: but none of them ends up in init.d. I hope | 16:43 |
| Myrtti | kai`: if you install ssh-server, the postinst scripts are usually install the scripts that make the sshd run on boot | 16:43 |
| wols_ | kai`: run the command I told you | 16:43 |
| Myrtti | goooohhh | 16:43 |

| Phantomas | regeya: ?? | 16:44 |
| regeya | okay...I'll point out that the floodbot is kicking in when ubottu gives an answer...I had a suspicion but had to test...I realize I should have pm'ed myself but I didn't | 16:44 |
| Myrtti | regeya: do you have a ubuntu support related question, are you planning to help anyone with their problems, or are you here just to make a some odd point? | 16:44 |

| kindofabuzz | Glady is mady | 16:45 |
| wols_ | grobda24: does not exist and I gave you two possible solutions | 16:45 |
| Phantomas | regeya: can you answer my point please? | 16:45 |
| Myrtti | regeya: read my question again | 16:45 |
| regeya | Phantomas: not really, but perhaps someone else could | 16:46 |
| IdleOne | regeya: get on topic or get out please | 16:46 |
| regeya | Myrtti: apparently you missed MY point, or are ignoring what I said. drop it already. | 16:46 |

| BladieBla | hooi | 16:47 |
| test27 | hey can we boot gparted live on harddisk | 16:47 |
| regeya | a(dvanced?) power management, that would handle things like, say, shutting off when you issue a shutdown. aside from that, I don't know...I do know that on various machines I've had issues with it | 16:47 |
| monster | el1: what is iiiubuntu? i only know of eeeubuntu | 16:47 |
| wols_ | test27: that is OT here. we support ubuntu, not gparted live cds | 16:47 |
| ganymede | is there a way for me to deactivate my wired ethernet connection (let no traffic pass through) but still retain the DHCP IP address that was given to it? | 16:48 |
| ganymede | i'd like to switch to wireless but without losing the IP | 16:48 |
| wols_ | grobda24: use iptables for that | 16:48 |
| IdleOne | test27: #gparted might be helpful | 16:48 |
| lilleskid | Hey guys, what is the default port in Transmission? I changed it by a mistake and can't remember the right one. | 16:48 |
| croSmiley | i have hp nx6110 laptop and 8.04 ubuntu, every time i try to suspend, it leaves me with blank screen and cursor blinking in top left corner | 16:48 |
| BladieBla | spreekt iemand hier nederlands? | 16:48 |
| monster | port is 51413 | 16:48 |
| wols_ | !nl > BladieBla | 16:48 |
| ubottu | BladieBla, please see my private message | 16:48 |
| wols_ | lilleskid: there is no default port. bt can use any port you designate | 16:49 |
| lilleskid | I know wols, but the one I wrote by a mistake is closed so I want to find the open port again, the one that worked. | 16:49 |
| lilleskid | But thx for answer! | 16:49 |
| monster | lilleskid: 51413 <- that port can be used just fine | 16:50 |
| lilleskid | Great | 16:50 |
| wols_ | lilleskid: you open the port. any port | 16:51 |
| lilleskid | Got a router and can't remember the login for it. | 16:51 |
| monster | wols_: might be, that the port is closed by his/her router? | 16:51 |
| Phantomas | i will set again my question in case someone who knows didnt saw it: my friend has a problem... he installed ubuntu 8.04 and when he shutdown his pc ubuntu unloads, disks turn off but the rest of the system is still running .. | 16:51 |
| test27 | well maybe you guys can help me out | 16:51 |
| nabilmalik | Hello, is the the ubuntu channel where the community helps each other? | 16:51 |
| wols_ | monster: of course. but then he should check his router config, not ask us | 16:51 |
| jrib | nabilmalik: you're in it! | 16:51 |
| test27 | because i want to expand my ubuntu space | 16:51 |
| monster | wols_: then ask him to check it | 16:52 |
| nabilmalik | thanks jrib | 16:52 |
| wols_ | test27: boot the ubuntu live cd and run gparted | 16:52 |
| charles_ | lilleskid: it's 51413.. easy to remember, it's the first digits of pi backwards | 16:52 |
| nabilmalik | i actually neven used irc before, but came here looking for help | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | wols_: what lilleskid is saying is that when first installed transmission was working fine but then he went and changed the port it listens on and now it is not connecting so he wants to put it back to the original port it listens on so it can work again. what you are talking about is portforwarding but I don't think he has the permissions to do that | 16:52 |
| Marfi | how do i ping a computer on my network to find its ip address? ie, ping Marfi (marfi being the computer name) | 16:52 |
| test27 | is that using CD? | 16:52 |
| lilleskid | Yeah that portname solved it, thanks a lot guys! :) | 16:53 |
| wols_ | test27: yes. "ubuntu live CD" denotes a CD. imagine that | 16:53 |
| Marfi | IdleOne, the listening ports are 6881 - 6889 if i remember correctly | 16:53 |
| monster | no problem mate | 16:53 |
| nabilmalik | it seems like my ubuntu based desktop is hacked.. | 16:53 |
| monster | nabilmalik: what makes you think that? | 16:53 |
| monster | brb | 16:53 |
| nabilmalik | and i was going to rebuild it, but though that i will ask for some suggestion | 16:53 |
| nabilmalik | i have like 17G for the / mount | 16:54 |
| nw15062 | why do you think it has been hacked? | 16:54 |
| nabilmalik | and suddenly all is full | 16:54 |
| nabilmalik | when i do df -h, it says all 17G is full | 16:54 |
| nw15062 | you need to use disk usage analyzer and find out what is so big | 16:55 |
| nabilmalik | it was all fine one 2 days ago.. and there was enough space | 16:55 |
| kindofabuzz | i saw the same thing happen on a debian system, he thought he was hacked too | 16:55 |
| Marfi | how do i ping a computer on my network to find its ip address? ie, ping Marfi (marfi being the computer name) | 16:55 |
| kindofabuzz | may have been | 16:55 |
| John0Neil | Hello. I have started a program called GCALDaemon in console. The program run in background and I only can stop it in closing the console or in system monitor with Kill process command. Is there any command I can use to stop it and staying in the console? | 16:55 |
| nw15062 | use application >> accessories >> Disk usage Analyzer | 16:55 |
| nabilmalik | disk usage analyzer... hum | 16:55 |
| wols_ | Marfi: use arp | 16:55 |
| nabilmalik | let me check | 16:55 |
| nw15062 | Crtl -X will kill the app with out closing the term window | 16:56 |
| kindofabuzz | Marfi, nslookup | 16:56 |
| Vonoff | how do i disable the start of xorg on boot? | 16:56 |
| ritterrav | Ok, hey, i just installed the latest ubuntu on my HP 4gig ram, 2.66ghrtz core 2 duo computer, with a nvidia 256mb ram video card, and i used ENVYNG to install that, but when i run world of warcraft, i get a good 30 FPS but then after a second it just drops to 10FPS for no reason and it never goes back up. and i lowered the resolution to 800 X 600 and it starts out on 60fps and for no reason it drops to 10fps. | 16:56 |
| test27 | wols_: can i use harddsik instead the cd? | 16:57 |
| wols_ | Vonoff: ubuntu? gnome? | 16:57 |
| nw15062 | Control X is a great kill switch for term apps | 16:57 |

| nabilmalik | i just asked disk analyser to do a Scan Filesystem.. it working now | 16:57 |
| wols_ | Vonoff: your desktop environment is not "console". delete /etc/rc.d/S99gdm | 16:57 |
| wols_ | Marfi: depends how it is broken | 16:57 |
| nw15062 | use " man apt-get" | 16:58 |
| nabilmalik | i have been fiddling with du command and got pretty frustrated | 16:58 |
| nw15062 | it will give you information on options and values you can use | 16:58 |
| test27 | owww | 16:58 |
| Vonoff | wols_, i mean I am on the console and want to prevent Xorg from starting at boottime | 16:58 |
| myron | well, it's wine, and it won't open any applications. Even the config will not open | 16:58 |
| wols_ | Vonoff: I just told you | 16:58 |
| wols_ | Vonoff: IF you run gnome | 16:58 |
| nw15062 | well try using a different tty | 16:58 |
| nnull | anyone know if theres any problems having both clamav and avast installed at the same time? | 16:58 |

| negge^ | I'm trying to replace my old network card on my server. I took out the old one and inserted 2 new ones instead ('cause I don't know if they work). I connected one of the cards to my switch and the lights are on on the card, but when I boot Ubuntu and run ifconfig only the loopback interface shows up. I added an entry for eth1 aswell in /etc/network/interfaces but when I restarted the networking daemon it said Device not found. Does | 17:01 |
| negge^ | this mean that both my cards are broken? | 17:01 |
| test27 | hmmm | 17:01 |
| test27 | then what should i do | 17:02 |
| wols_ | negge^: ifconfig -a | 17:02 |
| wols_ | negge^: also check dmesg | 17:02 |
| kindofabuzz | Juje007, do you have gnome or kde intalled, by default server doesn't so you just ssh | 17:02 |
| negge^ | wols_ what should I look for? | 17:02 |
| negge^ | (in dmesg) | 17:02 |
| wols_ | test27: I told you | 17:02 |
| nabilmalik | Yes, i found the massive file.. so embarrasing | 17:02 |
| Juje007 | Just Ubuntu | 17:02 |
| test27 | the envyng cannot find the proper driver for my 9600 | 17:02 |
| nabilmalik | it was not hacked | 17:02 |
| nw15062 | what was the file? | 17:02 |
| wols_ | negge^: for eth | 17:02 |
| nw15062 | well that is good news then | 17:02 |
| negge^ | wols_ dmesg | grep eth then? | 17:02 |
| nw15062 | rather a embarrasing moment then to really be hacked | 17:03 |
| wols_ | test27: and you cannot give us error messages. clearly envyng is the smarter of you two | 17:03 |
| Juje007 | Just Ubuntu kindofabuzz | 17:03 |
| nabilmalik | well, 2 days ago is was trying to backup a folder using webmin | 17:03 |
| negge^ | I'll see what I'll find, be back in a minute | 17:03 |
| wols_ | negge^: ifconfig -a | 17:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Juje007, yeah but you said Ubuntu server, did you actually install Ubuntu server edition? | 17:03 |
| nw15062 | I see | 17:03 |
| Juje007 | Ya kindofabuzz | 17:03 |
| nabilmalik | the backup failed, and i never realized that is must have left some file | 17:03 |
| nw15062 | minor mistake big consequences | 17:03 |
| wols_ | !webmin | 17:03 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 17:03 |
| test27 | i don't remember the message | 17:04 |
| wols_ | nabilmalik: see this? all YOUR fault for using webmin | 17:04 |
| negge^ | wols_ ifconfig -a showed that there is eth2 and eth3. I guess that was the problem | 17:04 |
| kindofabuzz | Juje007, there is no XDMCP then, just ssh to it | 17:04 |
| Juje007 | Ok | 17:04 |
| LimCore | ubuntu do need a real XML editor imho | 17:04 |
| nabilmalik | hum, probably you are right about webmin | 17:04 |
| negge^ | !ebox | 17:04 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 17:04 |
| nnull | how do i make sure clamav runs only when i spawn it to scan files and not run as a daemon always in my system? | 17:04 |
| Juje007 | I need to have the desktop version for remote login kindofabuzz? | 17:04 |
| negge^ | ebox sounds interesting, gonna take a look at it. Thanks for the quick help wols_ (second time today) | 17:05 |
| test27 | wols_: how about interpid ibex can it support my card? | 17:05 |
| nabilmalik | anyways, you guys just saved me atleast 4 hours of work.. Cannot thank you enough | 17:05 |
| kindofabuzz | Juje007, or just sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop | 17:05 |
| kindofabuzz | Juje007, on the server | 17:05 |
| nw15062 | no problem glad we could help | 17:05 |
| wols_ | nnull: make sure it's not loaded by init scripts | 17:05 |
| Juje007 | No ty for that :P | 17:05 |
| nnull | wols_, how do i check that mate? | 17:05 |
| nnull | system > admin > services ? | 17:06 |
| Juje007 | I just want to have my server and not the desktop part | 17:06 |
| Juje007 | kindofabuzz | 17:06 |
| nabilmalik | Thanks and god luck to all.. -Nabil. | 17:06 |
| SurfnKid | unable to look up via gethostbyname | 17:06 |
| nabilmalik | good luck | 17:06 |
| SurfnKid | does anyone know what that means????? | 17:06 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: couldn't resolve a host via DNS | 17:06 |
| nnull | wols_ to check for init loading is it just in services? | 17:07 |
| SurfnKid | wols_: so... for example... this system has been off for a year, now its back up and on, and i get this message | 17:07 |
| nw15062 | ha sanybody tried out the new packagekit application? | 17:07 |
| nw15062 | has anybody~ typo | 17:07 |
| SurfnKid | wols_: what is the difference between a new system that resolves the host without a network interface up | 17:07 |
| SurfnKid | and a system that gets this error? | 17:07 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: a working or non working resolver | 17:07 |
| SurfnKid | ah ok | 17:07 |
| negge^ | man I'm happy. Just by replacing a crappy old 3com network card with another crappy old 3com network card I boosted my transfer speeds between my desktop and server from around 2 Mbit/s to 94 Mbit/s:) | 17:08 |
| ben34 | On windows i had windows messenger which had sharing folders is there a similar solution for ubuntu | 17:08 |
| SurfnKid | is it in the /etc/network/interfaces ? | 17:08 |
| negge^ | this rocks | 17:08 |
| Rostropovich | is anjuta a good ide? | 17:08 |
| nw15062 | it is supposed to be a simply repository managment application that may see its way in the next distro of ubu | 17:08 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: no | 17:08 |
| tsolox | I have a problem: the ubuntu i installed in my sister's laptop froze at boot-up somewhere in "routine check drives"...wtf happened? | 17:08 |
| SurfnKid | !gethostbyname | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gethostbyname | 17:08 |
| nw15062 | tsolox have you tried booting into recovery mode? | 17:08 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: do you have a prompt now? | 17:09 |
| negge^ | wols_ another quick question... In which log is the stuff that is printed during startup stored? I got some warnings and stuff that I'd like to correct but I can't find it | 17:09 |
| nw15062 | hit esc on grub and select the second options | 17:09 |
| wols_ | negge^: sometimes syslog. but not all | 17:09 |
| SurfnKid | yeah i have it, but when i try to do any admin commands, any sudo commands, any starting of programs, or the such | 17:09 |
| negge^ | wols_ I checked there but it contained too much | 17:09 |
| SurfnKid | it takes a while, about 3 minutes and then sometimes | 17:09 |
| negge^ | I'm booting in "quiet" mode | 17:09 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: nslookup google.com | 17:10 |
| SurfnKid | if im in a console i get this error | 17:10 |
| nw15062 | tsolox other option is to boot from live disk and view the log files after a chroot | 17:10 |
| SurfnKid | wols_: there is no network | 17:10 |
| SurfnKid | wols_: and actually | 17:10 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: DNS with no network is kinda useless | 17:10 |
| SurfnKid | it is looking for its own host... the comptuer's name for example is axion | 17:10 |
| tsolox | nw15062: she's 5000 miles from me now... | 17:10 |
| SurfnKid | and it says, unable to find axion by the gethostbyname | 17:10 |
| nw15062 | I see well thats going to be tough | 17:10 |
| wols_ | SurfnKid: add acien to /etc/hosts | 17:10 |
| SurfnKid | ok brb | 17:11 |
| SurfnKid | :) | 17:11 |
| tsolox | whoever invented that "routine check drives"...needs to better check his code | 17:11 |
| nw15062 | you could also find out by disableling quiet and splash i the boot parameters through grub | 17:11 |
| tsolox | nw15062: how can i do that, she only knows to click a button... | 17:11 |
| ^grand_champa^ | i need cybercafe billing and auto recovery (like deepfreeze) on my kubuntu. can anybody help me? | 17:12 |
| nw15062 | the computer probably has a corrupted secotr or damage to the platter so it keeps analyzing | 17:12 |
| LimCore | why it takes so long to get eclipse 3.3 to repo | 17:12 |
| nnull | wols_ to check for init loading is it just in services? | 17:12 |
| nw15062 | well our out of luck have her use the live cd till you can get it fied | 17:12 |
| tsolox | i carefully prepared her dualboot setup..and now only Windows XP survives....sort of make me think that Windows still is the system to go... | 17:12 |

| arpegius | tsolox: its debian inside. go tell that to #debian :-P | 17:13 |
| nw15062 | tsolox the only way to fix it is A. walk her through it B. travel to fix it or C. walk her through a reinstall. but if the hard disk drive has issue then it will simply happen again. | 17:13 |
| maxb | Somehow X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true in a desktop file is preventing it being shown in GNOME | 17:13 |
| LimCore | tsolox: unfortunatelly; btw this is offtopic here, try ##club-ubuntu | 17:14 |

| nnull | anyone tell me how i check my init.d to see if clam is running in background always pls | 17:14 |
| Pici | LimCore: Please don't advertise non ubuntu channels here. | 17:14 |
| LimCore | Pici: right, ##club-ubuntu is about slackware, as the name says | 17:14 |
| nw15062 | tsolox if your sister can only ckicl then maybe she is not quit ready for ubuntu or ubuntu is not quit ready for her. | 17:15 |
| tsolox | I love ubuntu....she paid me to set that up, and i told it's going to be the best setup ever..Dualboot with XP an ubuntu.Apparently, XP is more robust.. | 17:15 |
| whabo | help .. how do you delete a file manually threw terminal. there is a file i am trying to delete and it is telling me access denied .. it is clamav i tried to uninstall it did but the file is still there with the hidden files under Home | 17:15 |
| LimCore | tsolox: what happened - why ubuntu stoped booting | 17:15 |
| LimCore | whabo: rm filename or try sudo rm filename | 17:16 |
| nw15062 | whabo you need to use the sudo command prior to rm | 17:16 |
| tsolox | LimCore: it used to work while she was on 1 week vacation before returning to NY. And i was proud for the setup...now she;s in NY..and it stopped booting...hang up on "routine check drives" durig boot | 17:16 |

| LimCore | whabo: sudo rm /home/raj/.clamav | 17:18 |

| whabo | yes i want to delete it becuase i uninstalled the program | 17:18 |

| aconrad | maxb, wouldn't apt-get be able to download all 32 bit packages and replace the 64 bit version ? | 17:19 |
| compengi | whabo, then rm -R /home/yourpath/to/directory (if you want to delete a direcotry) for files use only rm | 17:20 |
| maxb | aconrad: well there's certainly no supported way to tell it to do that | 17:20 |

| erUSUL | timthelion: /root/ | 17:34 |

| techbee | erUSUL, thanx any gui program for it | 17:35 |
| prince_jammys | pi-meson: try it. for example, alt f2 and 'metacity --replace' | 17:35 |

| StepNjump | Hi guys, is there a way to change the password for root user and then log as root at all? | 17:59 |
| russe11 | argento: I just installed it when it came up in the update manager, I didn't use any beta anything. | 17:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !root | StepNjump | 17:59 |
| ubottu | StepNjump: 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 | 17:59 |

| outbackwifi | Jujubee: a) do you have any interfaces at all? b) are they specified in dhcpd.conf? | 18:06 |
| mib_egtamk | can I sudo apt or do I have to download? | 18:06 |
| russe11 | argento, IdleOne, Yeah, I've got all of them, but if argento thinks kernel -19 will fix it I can wait. | 18:06 |
| outbackwifi | you can sudo aptitude and select which jdk | 18:06 |
| JuJuBee | a) Yes, 2 Internal and External b) only the internal via a subnet declaration | 18:06 |

| boink | sure, but I don't have a latest LTS CD | 18:10 |
| boink | so, that's it? | 18:10 |
| m0u5e | boink: if you reformat, your system will probably be less clunky, and won't experience any weird upgrade bugs | 18:10 |
| boink | no more edgy? it's been wiped from the face of the earth? | 18:10 |
| nn64 | boink, you need what is called a distrobution upgrade | 18:10 |
| m0u5e | Szadowek: just go ahead and ask ;-) | 18:10 |
| boink | apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:10 |
| boink | I would like to do that, sure | 18:10 |
| boink | but I need edgy first | 18:10 |
| nn64 | boink, you do not need a cd for that upgrade but you may have to do the upgrade sevral times | 18:10 |

| magnetron | RoshanK, you need to replace it with the backup you made before you started editing the file. you made a backup, right? | 18:32 |
| RoshanK | magnetron, yes i did, theres xorg.mysave and xorg.backup but they seem to be messed up too, lemme show you in pastebins | 18:32 |

| alpha232 | IdleOne: whats the difference between -server and -generic? | 18:33 |
| Iradieh | Can someone please tell me why Shared Folder from Admin menu isnt in ubuntu 8 http://www.moixo.com/es/sharing-files-folders-from-ubuntu-to-mac-os-x | 18:33 |
| magnetron | wellson-Almeida, oj! | 18:34 |
| darjeeling | alpha232 -server is compact system for server | 18:34 |
| IdleOne | alpha232: the -server is the server kernel I guess and generic is optimised like magnetron stated. I don't know the exact differences | 18:34 |
| magnetron | Iradieh, they moved it to the folder properties. right click any folder and select the sharing properties in that menu | 18:35 |
| alpha232 | darjeeling: i'm trying to find out what is or is not in it | 18:35 |
| alpha232 | darjeeling: i won't be running X thats for sure :D | 18:35 |
| RoshanK | magnetron, i dont believe i edited a backup. but i attempted to backup and nothing seemed to work | 18:35 |
| darjeeling | alpha232 in that case use -server =) | 18:35 |
| chandrashekhar | thanks ubottu :) | 18:35 |
| magnetron | RoshanK, did you make the backup when things were ok? | 18:36 |

| MolePrince | Hello. I am trying to use TrueCrypt to encrypt an SD card under Ubuntu. Encryption speed starts out around 2MB/s, then dwindles away to slower and slower until it can take days to encrypt 2GB. Is this normal or a problem with Ubuntu? | 19:33 |

| ubottu | EvolutionXtinct: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 19:36 |
| assargadon | EvolutionXtinct: what is your ubuntu version? | 19:36 |
| geodome | what is sisoft sandra? | 19:36 |
| nandemonai | EvolutionXtinct, what version? ntfs should work out of the box on hardy. | 19:36 |
| allen | mark extra in visual effects? | 19:36 |
| EvolutionXtinct | !NTFS-3g | 19:36 |

| nandemonai | allen, either pick normal or extra, whichever you prefer. | 19:38 |
| jerone_moblie | lubosz1: /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 19:38 |
| allen | ok | 19:38 |
| allen | and then ? | 19:38 |
| nandemonai | And then.. it should work. | 19:38 |

Does anyone happen to know this tidbit of info? I have googled this... Its being particularly difficult to find... | 19:40 |

| w0ls0n | /dev/sdb1 /backup ext3 rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 2 | 19:40 |
| jerone_moblie | lubosz1: the kernel module is loaded when the driver is initialized .. meaning if "nvidia" driver is not in xorg.conf it will not be loaded | 19:40 |
| jerone_moblie | lubosz1: ah ok | 19:40 |
| angusthefuzz | carlba: what would you like to do with xrandr? | 19:41 |

| Vock | nandemonai: thanks for your help | 20:19 |
| nandemonai | Vock, I think it has something to do with your extended partitions. if /dev/sda7 is / with /boot on it it should be hd0.6 in grub to my knowledge. even though 4 is missing. | 20:19 |
| shiamak | I am new to ubuntu... | 20:19 |
| obf213 | is there some way to fix that? that is noob to the max | 20:19 |

| m0u5e | nandemonai: or if it already had been reported... or maybe theres just something im doing wrong | 20:19 |
| Vock | nandemonai: I'll try it right now, i can't see it hurting more than it's already broken | 20:19 |
| nandemonai | m0u5e, you mean you click into a 2nd nautilus window and it doesn't popup when you type? | 20:19 |
| m0u5e | obf213: gnome copy is kinda weird... it only keeps things in the clipboard as long as the application is open | 20:20 |

| m0u5e | nandemonai: sometimes it works, but half of the time its just a nightmare | 20:21 |
| nandemonai | m0u5e, and make sure you escape the current popup. | 20:21 |
| m0u5e | nandemonai: especially if the search query box is already open in another window, yeah | 20:21 |
| nandemonai | m0u5e, that's the problem right there. | 20:21 |
| m0u5e | nandemonai: they should make it so thats not the case... or that it should autoclose open defocus | 20:21 |
| nandemonai | m0u5e, gotta cancel that first popup | 20:21 |

| erUSUL | AzizLight: the answer is on the error msg 2. simply specify an icon theme in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. For example to use the Tango icon theme add a line: gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango" in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0. (create it if no such file) | 20:50 |

| ubottu | DrkSPlash: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 20:52 |
| Ax3 | DrkSPlash, phpmyadmin relies on mysqld | 20:52 |
| Ax3 | DrkSPlash, have you installed and configured mysqld ? | 20:52 |

| unni | can someone help me on configuring dual monitor on dell Optiplex 755 | 21:30 |
| [Ex0r] | anyone know a good ssh client to use for ubuntu ? | 21:30 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | how ? | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | [Ex0r]: terminal | 21:30 |
| nandemonai | [Ex0r], ssh? :P | 21:31 |
| magnetron | [Ex0r], the standard one is great. | 21:31 |
| neels | anyone know why google earth would be extremely slow even though 3d accel is on? Playing openarena is extremely good, google earth gives one impression every 5 to 10 seconds. | 21:31 |
| neels | [Ex0r], you can enter ssh:// URLs in your file browser, too. | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | neels: try tweaking the config of GE | 21:31 |
| gorski | keyboard preferences layout selection not working properly, please help! | 21:31 |
| [Ex0r] | magnetron- sorry, should have been more descriptive. An SSH client that has a GUI, and doesn't run off of CLI. | 21:31 |
| GOt | gorski | 21:31 |
| qr | [Ex0r]: ssh is inherently a cli thing, ssh = Secure SHell | 21:32 |
| neels | ActionParsnip: but it's even slower than slow, it's broken. | 21:32 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | its till my that Need to get 35.4MB of archives 35mb is big to me can i have some mirror or something ?? "direct link" | 21:32 |

| GOt | u mean u cant write some special like " ' ` | 21:32 |
| [Ex0r] | magnetron- They don't make that for linux do they!? I used to use it on windows and was looking for something like it. | 21:32 |
| mantise | nandemonai: but still, do you know where i can see the list of automatic starup servicec ect ? | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | [Ex0r]: why do ou need a gui. SSH is text only (Unless you are forwarding X) | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !putty | 21:33 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 21:33 |
| magnetron | [Ex0r], it's in the Add/remove list | 21:33 |
| Ayabara | I get "[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1099:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy", and fuser -v /dev/snd/* shows only the mixer_applet | 21:33 |
| qr | [Ex0r]: seriously, what's wrong with a terminal... get a terminal emulator and type ssh servername and you're away, that's exactly what putty gives you :\ | 21:33 |
| GOt | how i cam download some folders by ftp | 21:33 |

| kimmey | I will suggest to use puttytray, and not putty | 21:33 |
| GOt | mget dosnt download folders | 21:33 |
| [Ex0r] | ActionParsnip- easier to connect to multiple servers when you can store them in an 'addrerss' book instead of having to remember all the hostnames etc | 21:33 |
| gorski | G0t, i cant select croatian keyboard, it doesn-t want to write croatian letters | 21:33 |

| neels | [Ex0r], there is a gui, too. Just open your home folder (with standard gnome nautilus), type Ctrl-L and enter ssh://user@server.com | 21:34 |
| nandemonai | mantise, ls /etc/rc2.d/ | 21:34 |

| neels | theres way too much traffic here | 21:38 |
| magnetron | yme, pictures, CSS, javascript files | 21:38 |
| Drk_Guy | MrPockets, lol, i think you need a special ethernet cable if you want to share internet ;p | 21:38 |

| MrPockets | but the Ubuntu box wont resolve *shit* | 21:39 |
| Drk_Guy | MrPockets, You need that special cable for that, i've done it b4 | 21:39 |

| Laleh_ | ActionParsnip: there is logwtmp , is it that ? | 21:39 |
| azlon | ActionParsnip: when i do the update, it tries to connect to archive.ubuntu.com | 21:39 |

| mantise | bye bye :) | 21:40 |
| neels | ActionParsnip, thanks dude | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Laleh_: i have no idea, i dont use it | 21:40 |
| magnetron | yme, that totatlly depends. anyway, you have access to the server, right? just check the files sizes there | 21:40 |
| nandemonai | Drk_Guy, depends if you have a decent switch. | 21:40 |
| favro | how do I stop find waking up the nfs server unnecessarilly every morn? | 21:40 |
| Laleh_ | ActionParsnip: thank you, it says " Use wtmp(5) to record client connections " | 21:40 |
| MrPockets | if you're talking about an xovr cable, I'm using a gigabit switch | 21:41 |
| yme | magnetron, the problem is that these are dynamically generated pages, it's not static content | 21:41 |
| MrPockets | so I should be fine.... | 21:41 |
| nandemonai | Yeah you should in that case MrPockets | 21:41 |
| nandemonai | Firewall / IP setup issues perhaps? | 21:41 |
| azlon | ActionParsnip: when i do apt-get update it tries to connect to archive.ubuntu.com | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | azlon: yeah thats not gonna work, just keep your cd in the drive and run sudo apt-get install build-essential | 21:41 |
| azlon | oh | 21:41 |
| MrPockets | nandemonai nah, only firewall is an appliance in front of the switch | 21:42 |

| yme | abrahm, you first need to create a share in windows, than configure samba on your ubuntu | 21:42 |
| magnetron | yme, the "page info" in firefox shows sizes of every part of the web page. you need to add the sizes of all the pictures together, and add it to the size of the HTML and the CSS | 21:42 |

| noriyuki | _Zeus_, I think I dont understand your question prety weell give me an example of an answer plz | 22:11 |

| _Zeus_ | noriyuki: on my system, windows is mounted in /win | 22:11 |
| _Zeus_ | to get to windows files, I go to /win | 22:11 |
| Cutter | well I have a slow computer and a large amount of data to verify | 22:11 |
| angusthefuzz | Cutter: then I would say CRC is sufficient | 22:12 |
| Jefo | angusthefuzz: blkid doesnt do anything | 22:12 |
| Cutter | and the data has been only copied from one disk to another | 22:12 |
| abrahm | ActionParsnip, its a fat32 xp partition | 22:12 |
| noriyuki | _Zeus_, ok if I want to open my windows vista partition onubuntu ... I go to PLACES and then "152gb MEDIA" or cd /media/disk | 22:12 |
| angusthefuzz | Jefo: sudo blkid | 22:13 |
| Cutter | so there are no security issues | 22:13 |
| abrahm | that gives me a not a ntfs error | 22:13 |
| angusthefuzz | Cutter: then I would definitely go with CRC | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | abrahm: then mount it with the option vfat | 22:13 |

| m3F | guntbert, i tried to install lamp with tasksel here in Gutsy but it does not work | 22:19 |
| nellolinda | thanks | 22:19 |
| abrahm | actionparsnip, would it not work because it's a second or third partition on a drive ? | 22:19 |
| abrahm | because i tried those on that site | 22:19 |
| Jefo | angusthefuzz: i have sda2 in fstab as ntfs and acc to blkid as vfat, both with different UUID | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | abrahm: doesnt matter where it is. as long as fdisk sees it you can mount it | 22:19 |
| abrahm | and when i mount it, it says the user is root and group root, whereas the other partition on the drive | 22:19 |
| abrahm | says user kenny and group users | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | abrahm: you could have a scsi controller with 7 hard drives with 7 partitions on each and mount them all | 22:20 |

| cbmfreak | RyanPrior: no :-) I ordered the cds once and have had them lying around and decided to check it out :-) | 22:27 |
| TJ-42 | ah now I remember "ab" is the command | 22:27 |

| Mephisto_ | same response | 22:50 |
| eightyeight | dpkg-query -l | egrep '^[^i]' # does not show 'n' in the first column... so i'll assume the dpkg database is not tracking uninstalled packages? | 22:50 |

| angusthefuzz | Flare183: have you tried rsync? are you familiar with it at all? | 23:08 |
| Mat2 | the text coulor of everything on the panel i made a mistake | 23:08 |
| Scunizi | alistair: weird .. it should have popped up when searching for "flash" | 23:09 |
| Phantal | Daisuke_Ido, if i type 'startkde' at the terminal window it opened up, kde opens just fine | 23:09 |

| KleinerHai | Ah :) | 23:14 |
| SurfnKid | 6.06 dapper | 23:14 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | KleinerHai, I assume you dont have to reboot after making a Keyboard layout chnage? | 23:14 |
| KleinerHai | Gizmo: You mean u changed already? | 23:14 |
| KleinerHai | Gizmo: I'll try it ou ;) | 23:15 |

| SurfnKid | Pici: doesnt resolve anything under apt-get... it says no such domain | 23:15 |

| compubomb | but the screen is dead | 23:19 |
| compubomb | :/ | 23:19 |
| Pici | Szadowek: Thats odd, did you perhaps have a proxy setup to connect to the internet previously? | 23:19 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | KleinerHai, it's a long story, but I haven't run the dpkg reconfigure this time. I used the envy script to re-install the NVIDIA drivers. Ever since, US keyboard layout, not UK | 23:20 |
| qr | DavidCanarias: well if you don't know what program it is there's not much you can do. Try firefox --sync, although that's really not going to help anything on its own. | 23:20 |
| SurfnKid | Pici: http://pastebin.ca/1193091 | 23:20 |
| KleinerHai | Gizmo_The_Great: Okay. And after choosing the right layout and newstart it does not change? | 23:20 |

| bolrog | is there a way to blacklist package list servers? | 23:24 |
| SurfnKid | Pici: well here is the thing, the computer had some dead capacitors, which were repaired, and its been one year, i had trouble with getbyhostname() and i fixed that by adding 127.0.1.1 and machine name | 23:24 |
| porpoise | can I force apt to remove a package even if the post-install script fails? | 23:24 |
| SurfnKid | Pici: and now sometimes i can connect with apt-get but never with update-manager, so i dont know what is going on.. no proxy at all, i have tor disabled | 23:25 |

| Gizmo_The_Great | KleinerHai, edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf where the input device specified 'us' keyboard. Changed it 'uk' and restart X. Seems to work although I get an error about us settings being expected | 23:26 |
| SurfnKid | Pici: i really dont need to connect anymore, but there are a few updates that were held back and i would like to install them and i dont know why i cant | 23:26 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | why on earth there isn't a 'UK Keyboard' selection is beyond me | 23:27 |
| Pici | SurfnKid: try apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:27 |
| SurfnKid | ah ok | 23:27 |
| SurfnKid | dang i cant | 23:27 |
| SurfnKid | connect (111 refused) | 23:28 |
| SurfnKid | could it be the authentication? | 23:28 |
| SurfnKid | but i never need to authenticate | 23:28 |
| Pici | SurfnKid: What authentication? | 23:28 |
| === dogfacehat is now known as theCompanion | ||
| SurfnKid | Pici: right, what ! heh | 23:28 |
| Pici | SurfnKid: You did use sudo with that, right? | 23:28 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | i take that back - if you click on 'Layouts' tab in Keboard settings, and then 'Add' there's a list of countries!! | 23:29 |
| KiDFlaSh | BOAH | 23:29 |
| SurfnKid | Pici: yeah of course, i mean if i boot to root. it works, but just not on a normal session | 23:29 |
| SurfnKid | its weird | 23:29 |
| d0wn | i have a server that i created a new user account on, but when i connect to it via ssh, I see only $, and not user@host:~$ | 23:29 |
| tj83 | anyone know the best repo package for rar archives? | 23:30 |
| mich54 | does anyone have any idea what the heck is dovecot ? | 23:30 |
| SurfnKid | Pici: im going to boot to root and install this | 23:30 |
| DataMatrix | d0wn - check your /etc/passwd | 23:30 |
| SurfnKid | and then be back in a few mins | 23:30 |
| SurfnKid | thanks for the help brb | 23:30 |
| d0wn | DataMatrix: what should I check for in /etc/passwd | 23:31 |
| funkyHat | d0wn: try running chsh -s bash | 23:31 |
| DataMatrix | the last parameter there is shell. if it's /bin/sh and not /bin/bash it will show like that with only $ | 23:31 |
| funkyHat | d0wn: sounds like the user may have sh as their shell rather than bash | 23:31 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: dovecot is a mail server | 23:31 |
| d0wn | funkyHat: I get bash is an invalid shell. | 23:32 |
| funkyHat | d0wn: ok try /usr/bin/bash | 23:32 |
| DataMatrix | d0wn: /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash | 23:32 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, i c , but all i have seen from it is errors in everything i try to install on my system | 23:32 |
| funkyHat | d0wn: then you'll need to logout and connect again and it should be friendly bash then | 23:33 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: strange indeed .. did you install dovecot mailserver ? | 23:33 |
| Scunizi | If I "killall pulseaudio" and then reload pulseaudio I get the following error that might be causing my old fashioned mic not to work. http://paste.ubuntu.com/43195/ Any clue's would be appriciated. | 23:33 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, Errors were encountered while processing dovecot-common , dovecot-imapd , dovecot-pop3d | 23:33 |
| bastid_raZor | !rar | tj83 | 23:33 |
| ubottu | tj83: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 23:33 |
| DataMatrix | d0wn: you can set shell while adding a user like this: useradd -d /home/newuser -m -s /bin/bash newuser | 23:33 |
| d0wn | Thanks funkyHat, and DataMatrix! It's fixed | 23:34 |
| d0wn | I'll do that next time, DataMatrix. thanks | 23:34 |
| tj83 | bastid_raZor, TY... already got it... just when i did apt-cache search rar it returned many many packages... had to sit and sift them... but thanks anyways | 23:34 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: which command did you run that threw those errors ? any clues ? | 23:34 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, well i have to be honest , i was installin a server on an old pc of mine , but the server kept showing an error while installin the applictions cz it asked me to insert the server's disk which was already in, so i canceled the applications installation | 23:35 |
| DataMatrix | d0wn: note that useradd doesn't prompt you for password, you sould run passwd newuser to set password after creating the user | 23:35 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, apt-get install proftpd | 23:35 |
| The_Wolf | hi folks | 23:35 |
| jair0 | Hi there ! I have a problem with my wireless network configuration: I have to enter the password each time I want to connect | 23:35 |
| The_Wolf | Checking for Xgl: not present. | 23:35 |
| The_Wolf | Found laptop using ati driver. | 23:35 |
| The_Wolf | aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity | 23:35 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, apt-get install ntop | 23:35 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: that could explain things yes | 23:35 |
| The_Wolf | i got this when trying to start cpmpiz | 23:35 |
| Pici | DataMatrix: you really use use adduser instead | 23:35 |
| The_Wolf | can you help? | 23:36 |
| jair0 | it shows somethng like the hash of the key... using WPA and the regular network configuration | 23:36 |
| DataMatrix | Pici: yes, i just couldn't remember the command | 23:36 |
| funkyHat | d0wn: adduser is a friendlier command for adding a user than useradd, it automatically does a bunch of stuff for you that's normal for a new user (like a home directry etc, and prompting you for a password | 23:36 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: if you don't plan on installing dovecot, i'd suggest removing all related packages from your system, the errors should disappear with those | 23:36 |
| DataMatrix | I got a firefox problem what just blew me off the chair - tables don't work as tables anymore, each cell has it's own height, like <span> elements instead of cells arranged in columns | 23:36 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, so i found someone on a forum saying that he had the same problems and all he did was "find -name dovecot" and rm everything related to it , then he managed to reinstall it, i tried it and still i can't reinstall it bcz of the same error | 23:37 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, i can't even uninstall it | 23:37 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, it's not like a plan of using it or not , um tryin to learn how to setup a server and to use these services | 23:38 |
| DataMatrix | Has any one got an idea why firefox started working so strangely all of a sudden? | 23:38 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: yes i understand, manually removing files related to dovecot could still keep the package manager confused though, my guess that is what is happening | 23:39 |
| The_Wolf | whqats the matter with my atoi radeon 9100 directrendering is yes and i can play 3d games like counter strike or warsow | 23:39 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, well ... i understand that , but i tried "apt-get remove dovecot" , and all i got was the same errors | 23:40 |
| valdros | your playing cs on ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| bfrederi | How do I set environment variables system wide (and so that python will pick them up in it's os module) | 23:40 |
| The_Wolf | valdros: yep no problems since wine 1.0 and ati opensource driver, but i prefer nvidiqa | 23:40 |
| compubomb | question, how come i keep getting * Restarting System Logger messages ? | 23:40 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, is there a way to make the package manager not see it | 23:40 |
| compubomb | on my terminal ? | 23:40 |
| webfarmer | need help anyone there | 23:41 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: in synaptic i see several packages starting with the name dovecot, better try using synaptic, do a search on dovecot and try to remove those | 23:41 |
| valdros | the_wolf: man, if you could teach me how to do that, it would make my day | 23:41 |
| webfarmer | trying to install komodo onto my pc | 23:41 |
| valdros | i have wine, but i'll admit i'm a n00b at linux. | 23:41 |
| leeping2008 | Hey there, I'm trying to install xmms using dpkg, but I get the error message "Package libglib1.2 is not installed.". However, I know for a fact that it IS installed. Can someone help me out? | 23:42 |
| webfarmer | there's no one in the komodo channels | 23:42 |
| webfarmer | and the forums are too slow | 23:42 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, it's a server edition , i believe that synaptic is GUI , right ? | 23:42 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: correct | 23:42 |
| unop | leeping2008, verify. dpkg -l | grep libglib | 23:42 |
| webfarmer | has anyone here installed komodo before? | 23:43 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: hang on, i'll check mine and report back with all related dovecot packages | 23:43 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, thx a lot | 23:43 |
| leeping2008 | libglib1.2-dbg, libglib1.2-dev, libglib1.2ldbl | 23:43 |
| leeping2008 | unop, can I force the install if I wanted to? | 23:43 |
| unop | leeping2008, from what you have there libglib1.2 is not installed | 23:43 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: dovecot-common, dovecot-dev, dovecot-imapd and dovecot-pop3d | 23:43 |
| unop | leeping2008, if you forced it, it wouldn't work properly | 23:44 |
| leeping2008 | unop, I see. From my experience, usually programs ask for the packages that end in "dev", but in this case .. | 23:44 |
| leeping2008 | unop, okay, I'll see if I can find a .deb package for libglib1.2. It isn't on the repository, afaik | 23:44 |
| The_Wolf | valdros i have not much time, what for a graphics card do you have? | 23:44 |
| unop | leeping2008, *-dev packages are not compiled libraries - they are just the headers you use for building stuff | 23:45 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, i already tried everythin with common/imapd/pop3d | 23:45 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: well i'm afraid i'm out of ideas here, sorry | 23:45 |
| leeping2008 | unop, I see. If I need libglib1.2 and it isn't on the repository, where can I find it? | 23:46 |
| infinite | hello everybody, i cant boot the ubuntu install cd.I keep gettinh this error : Buffer I/0 on device fd0, logical block 0 | 23:46 |
| DataMatrix | can someone help me with a firefox problem? | 23:46 |
| The_Wolf | if you have 3d acceleration just download the newest steaminstaller msi from steampowered.com, then install wine: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine, then in the diretory where the msi file is type wine start SteamInstall.msi (or how its called) and the thing should run like in windows, perhaps a bit slower, but the game should ran fast | 23:47 |
| unop | leeping2008, you're right, libglib1.2 isn't in the repos. I believe it's because it has been phased out (as is xmms) .. you could grab it off of http://packages.ubuntu.com but i wouldn't recommend it | 23:47 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, well ... i tried "apt-get install dovecot-dev" knowing that it'll end up with the same errors ,and it did , but the weird thing is that "apt-get remove ...." is now working ! | 23:47 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: progress heh :) | 23:48 |
| whileimhere | Hi. I have two computers at home. I would like to be able to allow one computer to see the other so that I can control the contents of any folder on that system. Specifically I would like to use my laptop to control the contents of my P3 Desktop that I use just as a mp3 station. Can someone tell me is this possible and where do I start looking into it? | 23:48 |
| tilgovi | not that I think it much matters, but what are the permissions supposed to be for /lib/firmware? I accidentally deleted mine... | 23:48 |
| leeping2008 | unop, I really liked xmms. vlc has these intermittent popping noises, which I think is an issue with the player, I'd like to try xmms (which is what I used when I had dapper...) | 23:48 |
| tilgovi | someone just read me the line from ls -l or something | 23:48 |
| mich54 | glitsj16, do i only need dovecot to run a mail server ? i mean i can install other services now , and then install it later or there's something else that depends on it ? | 23:49 |
| unop | leeping2008, xmms is no longer supported by debian/ubuntu anymore | 23:49 |
| DataMatrix | tilgovi: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K 2008-07-08 00:40 firmware | 23:49 |
| tilgovi | DataMatrix, thanks | 23:49 |

| slamFIST | whileimhere: samba? | 23:49 |
| whileimhere | Samba? Is that what I should read about? | 23:50 |
| leeping2008 | unop, darn .. I guess I won't be getting any support in my quest then :) | 23:50 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: as far as i know no other packages depend on dovecot no, but to be honest that's because i'm not familiar with dovecot | 23:50 |
| slamFIST | yes samba is what you're looking fo | 23:51 |
| slamFIST | for* | 23:51 |
| Wipster | hey all, I have a problem trying to print pictures I have set my custom page size but as all of my pictures are taken at a different aspect ratio it leaves white lines down the sides, is there a way to get the image to snap to the outside? | 23:51 |
| zvacet | !samba | whileimhere | 23:51 |
| ubottu | whileimhere: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:51 |
| unop | leeping2008, you might like aqualung .. it's somewhat like xmms | 23:51 |
| mich54 | glitsj16 , well thanks a lot dude , u've been a wonderful help :) | 23:51 |
| glitsj16 | mich54: very welcome, gdluck with the server :) | 23:52 |
| slamFIST | leeping2008: im using audacious | 23:52 |
| leeping2008 | thanks for the advice :) Alternatives to xmms would be just as good as xmms itself... I wasn't too emotionally attached | 23:53 |
| Szadowek | Guys can You help me?:-( I got a problem with my wireless. I'm trying to run it in ad-hoc mode. In routing mode i seem to be connected but i dont have internet connection and i cant ping serwer despite the linux(client) and windows(servers) shows connection in tray. Windows-windows connection work without problems:( I am using ndiswrapper. Help me i really want to run that network with linux.When i try to configure it in manual way, (writ | 23:53 |
| woli | how do i 'pause' or 'press any key to continue' in the terminal? | 23:53 |
| slamFIST | leeping2008: what was your reason to find something else? | 23:54 |
| leeping2008 | slamFIST, xmms depends on libglib1.2, and Hardy doesn't have that package. | 23:54 |
| slamFIST | ooh | 23:55 |
| slamFIST | not supported, right | 23:55 |
| slamFIST | use audacious.. which is a fork of beep... which was a fork of xmms | 23:55 |
| woli | nobody knows? | 23:55 |
| slamFIST | they look the same. | 23:55 |
| leeping2008 | haha, thanks :) audacious does look like xmms .. thanks. | 23:55 |
| slamFIST | no worries dewd | 23:55 |
| ev0luti0nXtinct | Have a question... For some reason its not letting me share a folder. says i do not have root permission in the Gnome GUI | 23:56 |
| koshari | anyone know how hotswap sata? | 23:56 |
| MindVirus | Will Google Chrome be in any repo any time soon? Also, what GUI toolkit does it use? | 23:56 |
| angusthefuzz | koshari: do your drives/sata controller support this behavior? | 23:57 |
| slamFIST | ev0luti0nXtinct: use gksudo nautils | 23:57 |
| Pici | MindVirus: Seeing how theres no version for linux right now, not for a while | 23:57 |
| MindVirus | Pici, they have instructions for a build. | 23:57 |
| koshari | angusthefuzz it would appear not, however i beleive you can use scsiadd? | 23:57 |
| MindVirus | Pici, and do you know the answer to the second question? | 23:58 |
| rezer21 | Is anyone here good with "testdisk"? I can't get it to let me label a partition as "extended"--it only lets me use deleted, primary, or bootable. | 23:58 |
| angusthefuzz | koshari: sorry, i am not familiar with that | 23:58 |
| ev0luti0nXtinct | hmm | 23:58 |
| ev0luti0nXtinct | ok | 23:58 |
| ev0luti0nXtinct | let me try | 23:58 |
| debCarlos | Hi, got a problem here. When i press ctrl+alt the current window closes, is there anyway to disable this? Any command? I have already checked in preferences->keyboard shortcuts... | 23:59 |
| Pici | MindVirus: And the build doesnt build or work. And no, we generally don't add new packages to the repositories after a release is made. | 23:59 |
| ev0luti0nXtinct | I get back an error of: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error permission denied, you do not have permission to create a usershare | 23:59 |
