| MortenB | I'm so disappointed. I wanted to install Ubuntu on my girlfriend's laptop to get out of MS hell, but first I had to give up on Hardy because of the freeze issues, then I tried Gutsy, but had to abandon that because of the wireless/RT61 issues. Now my hopes are set for tomorrow's alpha5, otherwise I'll have to switch back to XP just to get a workable OS on her computer :( | 00:53 |
| bastid_raZor | amt; if you're laptop doesn't come back while in windows that is a windows issue. | 00:53 |
| amt | bastid_raZor, that issue wasn't there before i installed ubuntu, so i am assuming this has something to do with the ubuntu installation | 00:54 |
| jrib | MortenB: you should be going with hardy and troubleshooting the "freeze issues" imo. Also, there are other distros you can try before resorting to XP | 00:54 |
| oinck | MortenB: elaborate on freeze issues - hardy shouldnt be heavier than XP | 00:54 |
| jrib | amt: it does sound like it's more appropriate for ##windows. I don't see what ubuntu would do | 00:55 |
| MortenB | jrib and oinck, I believe I am suffering from bug 218140 .. and the conclusive comment on that thread is to wait for the next release | 00:55 |

| dr_willis | brambo, it wont ruin the menu. the commands will install grub to the mbr of the other hard drive. It wont really 'remove' it from the first. | 01:37 |

| ASrock | Lemont_Jones: i use ktorrent, thats my favorite | 01:38 |
| Lemont_Jones | Odd-rationale, i'm sorry, I don't understand | 01:38 |
| amt | Gnea: ive booted into windows from the beginning (without rebooting), and the standby malfunctions there | 01:38 |
| Lemont_Jones | ASrock, ok thanks | 01:38 |
| pike_ | Lemont_Jones: transmission is good utorrent works flawlessly in wine, ktorrent etc | 01:38 |
| Soul-Dev | I love deluge for torrents, nice remote interface as well, and has a lot of optns, reminds me of utorrent but in my opinion is much better. | 01:38 |
| * IndyGunFreak prefers Transmission | 01:38 | |
| ASrock | Lemont_James: deluge is another one | 01:38 |
| brambo | dr_willis: it found it i believe on (hd1,5) which is i imagine my 80GB drive, how do I find what is my 40GB to install it to that? | 01:38 |
| chetnick | ASrock, System > Preferences > Advenced Desktop Effects Settings | 01:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Lemont_Jones: the latest version of ubuntu uses transmission as the default bit torrent | 01:38 |
| Lemont_Jones | Odd-rationale, oh I think i understand. I'll check to see if tranx is installed | 01:39 |
| Soul-Dev | I feel transmissiion lacks in optons. | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | brambo, you can use the grub command line to be sure. theres some 'find /somthing/stage1' command that tells you exactly where linux is at | 01:39 |
| Odd-rationale | Lemont_Jones: but you don't like the defualt options... you can always install you own. | 01:39 |
| Lemont_Jones | gah, ok so what is the most similar app in ubuntu to utorrent? --- that runs without wine | 01:39 |
| ali[n] | hello | 01:39 |
| qr | Lemont_Jones: ktorrent isn't far off | 01:39 |
| Soul-Dev | ktorrent or deluge | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | Lemont_Jones, i tend to use ktorrent, or utorrent with wine. if you must have utorrent. | 01:39 |
| Lemont_Jones | qr, cool thanks | 01:39 |
| Odd-rationale | Lemont_Jones: deluge is also a good choice... | 01:40 |

| brambo | dr_willis: I dont mean to sound silly here but im not sure what u mean, im still pretty new to linux | 01:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | Soul-Dev: what options do you consider transmission lacking? | 01:40 |
| qr | Lemont_Jones: it's not the same, but it's probably as close as it's gonna get. | 01:40 |
| Odd-rationale | Lemont_Jones: so you won't have to have all the kde load that comes with ktorrent... :P | 01:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | Soul-Dev: hmm, guess i've never used that feature in a torrentclient.. does ktorrent have that | 01:40 |
| ASrock | chetnick: ok im in the advanced desktop settings...where do i find the flaming windows thing | 01:41 |

| ASrock | IndyGunFreak: windows wobble when i move them and they kinda fade out when closed...but they dont burst into flames :( | 01:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ASrock: there's a package in the repositories, i think its compiz-config-settings or something like that | 01:43 |

| ASrock | yes after playing with this stuff i am kinda seeing where apple and microsoft get their fancy ideas for their operating systems | 01:56 |
| Maczimus | matthias_N well when that happened to me, i did this (ALT-F2) then type gksudo nautilus then empty the trash folder from there WARNING: THIS RUNS NAUTILUS AS ROOT SO BE CAREFUL | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | Running Nautilus as root. may been the reason the trash got 'stuck' It may be best to clean out the trash from the command line. | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | Just dont send the trash to the trash. :) | 01:56 |
| matthias_N | Maczimus: what could happen in worst case or what happened to you ? | 01:56 |
| alistair | Need info on linking to windows drive so that it works seamlessly with Linux and urls pse? | 01:57 |
| Maczimus | just be careful to only empty the trash that's all.. that way if something was running as root and you deleted the file it went to the trash as root permissions which is why you can;t make it go away as your regular self | 01:57 |
| matthias_N | hey guys it worked i unmounted and mounted it again and the folders dissapeared ... | 01:58 |
| Maczimus | cool | 01:58 |
| matthias_N | Maczimus: thank you i deleted them with rm-rf, many thanks ... | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | alistair, linking? You can mount/read/write fat/vfat/ntfs filesystems under linux. if thats what you mean | 01:59 |
| matthias_N | pike_: thank you it worked ... | 01:59 |
| Maczimus | sometimes when you unmount the drive it asks you if you want to empty trash as well | 01:59 |

| alistair | dr_willis, Say Ive got programs running under Wine - I want to be able to access and change files in their corresponding Windows directories. It works fine first time if I drag and drop as file links but after that it fails | 02:00 |
| scifiguy951 | ok | 02:00 |
| matthias_N | sorry guys once the hd is mounted they reappear..., sorry .... | 02:01 |
| scifiguy951 | zenmap? | 02:01 |
| dr_willis | alistair, you are accessing a 'real' windows drive from wine? if setup properly in the wine config it should work. | 02:01 |
| alistair | dr_willis, its to do with file permissions eg if you drag a bunch of links to Linux you can work on them, but when you close down the system state is left unstable because the windows directories have not been unmounted | 02:01 |

| matthias_N | Maczimus: your method seems to work better | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | alistair, thats not really sounding like a 'permission' - unless you mean the ownership/permission of the ntfs mounted filesystem. But that still wouldent stop the system unmounting the ntfs filesystem | 02:03 |

| alistair | dr_willis, Im just looking at Wine settings now; perhaps you are right there. But whats happening is that first time I can access files and change them then when I Shut down Linux there are some quick input boxes asking for my password to close file access | 02:04 |
| scifiguy951 | how do i get the ip in networks tools? | 02:04 |
| alistair | The go too quick, then next time file access does not work | 02:05 |

The computer is getting a network address, the router sees the computer, but I cannot pass any traffic to or from the computer | 02:24 |
| Choobie | does this sound like it could be an Ubuntu problem or a router problem? | 02:25 |
| Maczimus | jigp you can change the server where updates come from. click System -> Software Sources then in the window that comes up click on download from and select other, then you can check for the fastest server for your area | 02:25 |
| Sixzero | try pinging a site (www.google.com) and tell us what it tells you Choobie | 02:26 |
| Gnea | amt: i'm not sure what the problem is, exactly... you might have better luck by posting to ubuntuforums.org (make SURE you put the exact model number..) | 02:26 |

| Choobie | it pings out | 02:27 |
| Choobie | let me reboot again | 02:27 |
| Choobie | ping times out* | 02:27 |
| phantomcircuit | does anybody here know why the xsane window stops responding when you're scanning something? | 02:27 |
| aedelrosariojr | Choobie: try unplugging the router for 10 seconds then plug it back in | 02:28 |
| Choobie | k | 02:28 |
| Choobie | also I plugged a laptop into it and the laptop works just fine | 02:28 |
| Choobie | laptop also works wireless | 02:29 |
| Choobie | laptop is running Win/XP | 02:29 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: does it respond after the scan is complete? | 02:29 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, yes | 02:29 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: then it's working like it should. | 02:30 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, yeah i was just wondering why it stops | 02:30 |
| phantomcircuit | like theres a progress bar | 02:30 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: that's sort of like asking: "why do we keep our feet in the car instead of underneath the tires as the car is moving forward?" | 02:30 |
| phantomcircuit | but the window turns shaded black | 02:30 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, no it's not.... | 02:31 |
| * Segellion frantically throws his computer out the window | 02:31 | |
| Sixzero | what kind of wireless card is your nux box using Choobie? | 02:31 |

| phantomcircuit | nice Dfcnvt | 02:31 |
| Dfcnvt | oh shit | 02:31 |
| vox | lol | 02:32 |
| dumbdum | Hi, I want to add some more pictures into my "background" folder but I "dont have permission to perform this action" how do I get premission? | 02:32 |
| Dfcnvt | damn, i need to change | 02:32 |
| amar0 | there's someone there? | 02:32 |
| jrib | dumbdum: save them somewhere in your HOME instead | 02:32 |
| vox | yes, yes you do | 02:32 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: yes it is. the program itself cannot accept any I/O, and so to prevent the corruption of data and damage to the scanner device, the window becomes completely unusable to accidental clickage during the scan. | 02:32 |
| Choobie | Sixzero: the box is wired | 02:33 |
| dumbdum | Yeah I've done that but I like to be "tidy!" | 02:33 |
| Choobie | onboard NIC | 02:33 |
| Gnea | !language | Dfcnvt | 02:33 |
| ubottu | Dfcnvt: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:33 |
| dumbdum | I would like to keep everything together! | 02:33 |
| jrib | dumbdum: that is tidy. Your user should keep all of his stuff in his HOME and not write anything outside of it | 02:33 |
| amar0 | guy i have a several trouble | 02:33 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, that's a far better answer | 02:33 |
| dumbdum | Ok, point taken, thanks | 02:34 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: analogies tend to work wonders sometimes :) | 02:34 |
| amar0 | some one can help me? | 02:34 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, usually on people who dont understand in the least whats happening | 02:34 |
| Gnea | !ask | amar0 | 02:34 |
| ubottu | amar0: 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. :-) | 02:34 |
| amar0 | ñok | 02:34 |
| Choobie | Sixzero: unplugging the router for 10 seconds didn't do anything | 02:34 |
| amar0 | sorry | 02:34 |
| icarus | I can't find nfs-common in the repositories (not via synaptic and not via apt-get) | 02:34 |
| phantomcircuit | but it could at least update the window to keep it from going black :| | 02:34 |
| chmac | How do I make the system beep from a terminal? As in ,a bash command. | 02:34 |
| aedelrosariojr | Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43218/ | 02:34 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: well i wasn't sure where you were coming from - there needed to be a point of reference. | 02:34 |
| icarus | and I get an error when I try to mount an nfs share | 02:34 |
| jrib | dumbdum: if you insist, you can do 'gksudo nautilus' and copy things in there, but it really is better not to muck around with things outside your HOME. That's for the package manager to handle | 02:34 |
| Choobie | I'm going to stick a live disk in and see if that helps anything | 02:35 |
| mneptok | chmac: be nice to your friends, please. | 02:35 |
| mcquaid | i got this usb 802.11g card off my friend. looks like some generic made in china job. I'm trying to determine if it's usb 1.1 or 2 | 02:35 |
| phantomcircuit | i guess ill need to prefix my questions with "Im not a luser... " | 02:35 |
| chmac | mneptok: lol, I'm writing a script to test for something and I want it to beep when it find sit | 02:35 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: that's kind of weird, though... mine usually has a little scrolly-thingamabob | 02:35 |
| chmac | It's for me! :) | 02:35 |
| mcquaid | I see this: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 | 02:35 |
| dumbdum | Thanks, I'll leave well enough alone! | 02:35 |
| mcquaid | is full speed usb, 2? | 02:35 |
| chmac | I could use the text to speech engine, Edinburgh I think it's called :) | 02:35 |
| icarus | any reason why nfs-common isn't in the repositories ? | 02:35 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: but i have seen it go completely blank before | 02:35 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, yeah it's there and it seems to be updating the window... but it's still blacked out | 02:35 |
| amar0 | i have a logical problem in my HDD, i can mounted, and see some files, but there is a folder that is lost, i can see it but i can't opened, i already try whit foremost, get data back and test disk and nothing | 02:36 |
| Gnea | aedelrosariojr: yes, where's the other one? | 02:36 |
| mneptok | chmac: pipe output to /dev/audio ? | 02:36 |
| neil_d | The update manager says to update "virtualbox-ose-modules-generic" but I can't select it :( what do I do ? | 02:36 |
| amar0 | is ntfs | 02:36 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: are you launching xsane by itself or caling it from the gimp? | 02:37 |
| Gnea | *calling | 02:37 |
| phantomcircuit | by itself | 02:37 |
| chmac | mneptok: Doesn't seem to produce any sound though... | 02:37 |
| Gnea | try it from the gimp and see if it does the same thing | 02:37 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, just as soon as i get my syllabus scanned in | 02:38 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: LOL | 02:38 |
| phantomcircuit | :P | 02:38 |
| mar1 | Hey, quick problem... Every time I open a older like "Places" it opens and immediately closes. Any ideas? | 02:38 |
| mneptok | chmac: what are you sending? | 02:38 |
| Gnea | that reminds me, i need to type up a paper for class :P | 02:38 |

| phantomcircuit | for 1$ | 02:38 |
| chmac | mneptok: I tried md5ing some nonsense, or 000 or 111, no luck | 02:38 |
| phantomcircuit | it's ridiculous | 02:38 |
| amar0 | i have a logical problem in my HDD, i can mounted, and see some files, but there is a folder that is lost, i can see it but i can't opened, i already try whit foremost, get data back and test disk and nothing is ntfs | 02:39 |

| mar1 | Hello? Could anyone assist? | 02:39 |
| Xyc0 | I am getting an error when I dist upgrade "Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle." | 02:39 |
| chmac | It's just so I know when the task has completed | 02:39 |
| Xyc0 | any help? | 02:39 |
| phantomcircuit | amar0, i assume this isnt your primary hdd? | 02:39 |
| mar1 | This is my primary HDD. | 02:39 |
| amar0 | no is a USB back-up | 02:39 |
| icarus | can anyone confirm that nfs-common does not exist in synaptic ? | 02:39 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: okay, you've got me on the bizarre scale there :) | 02:40 |
| mar1 | It worked fine a couple days ago. | 02:40 |
| phantomcircuit | amar0, is it ntfs formatted? | 02:40 |
| amar0 | yes | 02:40 |
| mneptok | chmac: cat /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/audio | 02:40 |
| mneptok | chmac: any noise? | 02:40 |

| ch3mist_ | hi all, i have an error 22 when i boot my pc, i would like to recovery my MBR & reboot on vista with a live cd of ubuntu.How could i do pls? | 02:40 |
| Choobie | Okay, so the live CD has networking capabilities but the installed version does not | 02:40 |
| phantomcircuit | amar0, hmmm | 02:40 |
| chmac | mneptok: Genius, that produced a rather random noise which will do perfectly! :) | 02:40 |
| Choobie | are there config files I can copy over to make it work? | 02:41 |
| Gnea | mar1: does that include home folder? | 02:41 |
| chmac | I had tried > /dev/dsp but that didn't seem to work | 02:41 |
| amar0 | @ch3mist try hirest boot CD | 02:41 |
| aedelrosariojr | Gnea: here is the result of dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/43227/ | 02:41 |
| phantomcircuit | so you cannot see a folder that you believe should be there? | 02:41 |
| phantomcircuit | what's the error when you try to open it | 02:41 |
| woli | hi | 02:41 |
| amar0 | no actually i can see the folder or at least the name | 02:41 |
| ch3mist_ | amar0, excuse me i'm french, hirest? | 02:41 |
| mar1 | I need access ti my pictures, is all; it just immediately closes. I can save information to different folders, but can't access them through the Places toolbar. | 02:41 |
| amar0 | but is not a folder | 02:41 |
| speener | i added an option to my usb drive which is invalid, so the the hd won't mount...is there a gnome app to fix this or do i have to mount it manually??? | 02:41 |
| woli | i want to install a package that is only available for linux i386... will it work perfectly with my ubuntu? | 02:41 |
| Xyc0 | anyone can help with a dist-upgrade? | 02:41 |
| amar0 | sorry hiren's | 02:41 |
| gnubbie | intermittent audio quality... sometimes clear, sometimes choppy and static. | 02:41 |
| phantomcircuit | amar0, oh you mean the folder appears as a file? | 02:41 |
| Dfcnvt | I changed.. Whew! | 02:42 |
| chmac | mneptok: Thanks :) | 02:42 |
| amar0 | yes | 02:42 |
| phantomcircuit | amar0, did you create the NTFS file system in vista? | 02:42 |
| amar0 | an unread file | 02:42 |
| robert11 | HI Ubuntu persons | 02:42 |
| amar0 | no in xp | 02:42 |

| amar0 | yes | 02:42 |
| Flannel | woli: Are you on i386? | 02:42 |
| phantomcircuit | the file system is probably corrupt in some way | 02:42 |
| amar0 | next to me jaja | 02:42 |
| phantomcircuit | plug it into the xp box and run | 02:42 |
| phantomcircuit | chkdsk | 02:43 |
| woli | Flannel, how can i find out? | 02:43 |
| ch3mist_ | amar0, hiren's? | 02:43 |
| Gnea | aedelrosariojr: when the system boots, is there another module that loads instead of ath_pci? | 02:43 |
| amar0 | ok i will try that | 02:43 |
| Flannel | woli: Do you remember which iso you downloaded? | 02:43 |
| phantomcircuit | Gnea, weird it stopped going black all together | 02:43 |
| Gnea | phantomcircuit: with gimp? | 02:43 |
| woli | em, i install from the cd | 02:43 |
| phantomcircuit | there must be some initalization something it does that isnt written to expect it to take a long time | 02:43 |

| ch3mist_ | amar0, ok can i dl it with a live cd of ubuntu? | 02:44 |
| Flannel | mar1: use windows to fix ntfs file systems | 02:44 |
| Gnea | mar1: ntfsfix | 02:44 |
| woli | Flannel, will the package work then? | 02:45 |
| amar0 | no that is a live CD that have a lots of tools for HDD repair | 02:45 |
| dr_willis | 'system rescue live cd' - if i recall correctly has tons of tools | 02:45 |
| Flannel | woli: Not necessarily. What sort of package is it? | 02:45 |
| ch3mist_ | ok so i dl it & i boot with him..is that right? | 02:45 |
| amar0 | yes | 02:45 |
| Gnea | mar1: just make sure it's unmounted before using it | 02:45 |
| ch3mist_ | amar0, ok thanks bye ;) | 02:46 |
| amar0 | download burn it and boot it | 02:46 |
| woli | Flannel, ventrilo | 02:46 |
| ch3mist_ | ok cool | 02:46 |
| amar0 | ur welcome | 02:46 |
| Gnea | mar1: but just FYI - you'll need to reboot it, and it will probably run chkdsk on it - let it run, that's normal (and good) | 02:46 |
| Flannel | woli: What sort of file is it? | 02:46 |
| G3N0 | thruogh ps axu, how do i close an application thats running? | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | I have noticed that if you are sharing a NTFS filesystem with windows and Linux (or using that ext2/3 reader in windows) . you do NOT want to 'suspend/sleep/hibernate' windows Or the ntfs and ext2 filesystems get flagged as 'not unmounted cleanly' | 02:46 |
| Gnea | G3N0: kill -9 <pid> | 02:47 |
| woli | Flannel, ahh never mind... its a server thing... | 02:47 |
| Gnea | dr_willis: that's what samba is for ;) | 02:47 |
| woli | going to have to wine a windows version | 02:47 |
| G3N0 | wow whenever an application just randomly closes i can never re-open it without restarting | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | Gnea, its a litle hard to use samba to access the local ntfs. :) without mounting th FS int he firstplace. | 02:48 |
| speener | anyone? | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | I wonder if Linux Hibernat/Suspend/sleep has the same issue | 02:48 |
| Xyc0 | anyone familiar with Dist-upgrades? | 02:48 |
| G3N0 | does anyone know how to re-open an application that randomly closed? whenever i go to run it again it just does nothing. | 02:48 |

| LinuxKitten | anyone? | 02:51 |
| Gnea | !grub | LinuxKitten | 02:51 |
| ubottu | LinuxKitten: 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 | 02:51 |
| Gnea | LinuxKitten: the second url explains how to do it | 02:51 |
| LinuxKitten | how do i add windows to grub? | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | speener, you mean after it mounted you rightclicked on its iconm and messed wht the properties tabs/mount settings? | 02:52 |
| Merther | I've got xubuntu on hda and Damn Small Linux on hdb1 how do I modify grub to boot into hdb1? | 02:52 |
| speener | dr_willis: yes | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | LinuxKitten, theres an example grub menu entry in the menu.lst that boots windows from the frst hard drive. If your setup is the same. You could just Uncomment it. (remove the # at the strt of the lines) | 02:52 |
| Gnea | LinuxKitten: er, sorry, that was wrong... | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | speener, seen others that did that.. i forget how they fixed it.. removed some files in .gnome* i belive.. but i dont rember what. | 02:53 |
| Flannel | Merther: It'll be a similar entry to the Ubuntu ones (you'll want to copy it to the very end, after ##end debian automagic kernel list) and then you'll need to change the filenames, and change your partition (hdb1 will be hd1,0 | 02:53 |
| Xyc0_ | Any input on the dist-upgrade error? | 02:53 |
| G3N0 | does anyone know how to re-open an application that randomly closed? whenever i go to run it again it just does nothing. | 02:53 |

| Flannel | Xyc0_: You can't upgrade directly from 7.10 to 8.10. Also, 8.10 is alpha software, and support for it (including upgrading to it) is in #ubuntu+1, you'll likely have to do a bit of manual upgrading. | 02:56 |

| Agent_bob | darjeeling but it's xorg not the de that is accessing the network and that's why i asked | 03:04 |

| Gnea | !gparted | Merther | 03:05 |
| ubottu | Merther: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 03:05 |
| Mercury- | Flannel there doesnt appear to be any options to make a partition. | 03:05 |
| Gnea | Mercury-: sorry, mis-typed. | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Mercury-: Do manual partitioning | 03:05 |
| tnnc | if i run an dynmnic updater script and put an crontab entry in as the user i create when i install ubuntu will it run ok or do i need to add this elsewhere | 03:05 |
| Mercury- | Gnea - ah ok :p | 03:05 |
| Merther | Thanks | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Mercury-: but, automatic partiioning ought to make a swap partition too. | 03:05 |
| Gnea | Merther: cheers | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Mercury-: don't need to use gparted beforehand. Do it in the installer. | 03:05 |
| dumbdum | Hi, probably not a question to ask on a Linux forum, but does anyone know of a good "standalone" antivirus and spyware scanner that can be run from a cd, usb key etc? | 03:05 |
| Mercury- | ok | 03:05 |
| l3d | i was wondering how i would go about not having nautilus open every time i put in a cd ? | 03:06 |
| Mercury- | how much should i leave for swap space? | 03:06 |
| Segellion | Anyone know how to get an internal SD Card reader working? | 03:06 |
| Flannel | dumbdum: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that question | 03:06 |
| Flannel | Mercury-: how much RAM do you have? | 03:06 |
| Gnea | dumbdum: clamav will do it | 03:06 |
| Mercury- | FloodBot2-: 512 | 03:06 |
| Mercury- | :( | 03:06 |
| darjeeling | oops;; | 03:06 |
| Flannel | Mercury-: 1G of swap will be fine then. | 03:06 |
| * Mercury- nods | 03:06 | |
| Mercury- | thankyou :) | 03:06 |
| darjeeling | Mecury- Sorry I think you have more than 1G memory | 03:06 |
| dumbdum | Thanks Flannel, Gnea, does Clam work on Windoze? | 03:07 |
| Mercury- | darjeeling, naw...'tis an old work machine. | 03:07 |
| Gnea | dumbdum: yes, just google for it ;) | 03:07 |
| dumbdum | Thank You. | 03:07 |
| usser | dumbdum, u mean clamAV? | 03:07 |
| tnnc | if i run an dynmnic updater script and put an crontab entry in as the user i create when i install ubuntu will it run ok or do i need to add this elsewhere | 03:07 |
| dumbdum | Yes | 03:07 |
| Ienorand | Flannel: Is double the RAM a good rule, and thus if using 32bit one should have 6gig? | 03:07 |
| usser | dumbdum, its called clamWIN i believe | 03:07 |
| Flannel | Ienorand: 32bit? what? | 03:08 |
| Gnea | usser: that's offtopic, that's why i suggested google. | 03:08 |
| dumbdum | Thanks. Is it a standalone scanner? | 03:08 |
| amirman84 | hi, i made a huge mistake and now i'm paying for it by being forced to use windows. i removed wpasupplicant from my system and i should have checked but i didn't and it proceeded to also remove my network manager and a few other packages. i need to know what packages it removed so i can download them and reinstall them. can someone please help me out, all it would require is for you to see what packages it would remove if you tr | 03:08 |

| Mr_Fixit | hey guys... anyone know how to fix flash sound?? my youtube plays but no sound.. | 03:09 |
| Flannel | Ienorand: Double RAM is good until it gets rediculusly huge. I'd never suggest 4G of swap. Unless you *knew* you were going to have more than 2G of stuff in memory. Really, with some of the RAM sizes today, you need swap if you're going to hibernate (swap >= RAM) but nothing else (unless you're doing somethign specific and you need it, but you'd know) | 03:09 |

| callbox47 | yes | 03:11 |
| jigp | Gnea " i choose taiwan server edu | 03:11 |
| Flannel | callbox47: You shouldn't need one. Did you check the CD for defects? | 03:11 |
| Agent_bob | callbox47 the username and password you set durring install | 03:11 |
| Gnea | amt: this is a new problem? | 03:11 |
| amirman84 | can someone please help me get my internets working again in ubuntu. i need to know what packages wpasupplicant took with it when i removed it so i can reinstall them from debs. please :( | 03:11 |
| callbox47 | yes, none | 03:11 |
| jigp | gnea : kinda fast server :) | 03:11 |
| Gnea | jigp: and it worked? | 03:11 |
| amt | Gnea, well ive never tried the ethernet before, just wireless | 03:11 |
| Flannel | callbox47: try ubuntu and no password. Is this an official Ubuntu disk? | 03:11 |
| odla | i have a question about the wubi-installer ... i am using a university computer and i convinced my IT guy to install ubuntu via the wubi-installer on it (it works great btw). but i am curious if it's an expanding image or if he set some predetermined size? | 03:11 |
| sanassar | So again:Can anyone tell me how to make a archive in a .deb format? | 03:11 |
| jigp | Gnea : im downloading the packages first | 03:11 |
| Gnea | amt: ah, if you type this: ip l do you see an eth0 listed? | 03:11 |
| jigp | Gnea : there are 24 packages to download | 03:12 |
| Flannel | odla: Its a predetermined size | 03:12 |
| Chetyre | odla: I believe it's predetermined | 03:12 |
| Gnea | jigp: fun :) | 03:12 |
| Flannel | odla: Well, you set the size when you install | 03:12 |
| callbox47 | yes got it off the ubuntu site, and it MD5 check sums ok | 03:12 |
| jigp | Gnea : ok :) | 03:12 |
| Flannel | callbox47: and then you checked the CD from the menu entry on it once you booted? | 03:12 |
| amirman84 | the packages i need aren't on the cd, i already checked. someone please help me | 03:12 |
| odla | Flannel: ok ... how could i tell what it is in ubuntu? i tried fdisk -l but that just gives me nonsense | 03:12 |
| jigp | callbox47 : callbox? a call center? | 03:12 |
| Flannel | odla: Uh, try df -h | 03:12 |
| callbox47 | I tried "ubuntu" and no password but no joy | 03:12 |
| Flannel | callbox47: And you checked it from the penultimate menu entry when you boot? | 03:13 |
| Chetyre | odla: if you boot into your other OS (winxp?) you can see the size of the install in add/remove programs | 03:13 |
| amt | Gnea, well, ill try it but il have to switch into ubuntu, i dont have wireless at the moment | 03:13 |
| odla | Chetyre: ok | 03:13 |
| amt | Gnea, can you tell me what to do after that so I don't have to go back to windows again? | 03:13 |
| callbox47 | It's a fire alarm box | 03:13 |
| odla | it looks like / is 13 GB | 03:13 |
| sanassar | Anyone | 03:13 |
| sanassar | How do I package a Deb file | 03:13 |
| odla | so that looks like that's what he gave me | 03:13 |
| hydroponic | In what file do I make changes to PATH globally? I currently don't see it in /etc/profile nor /etc/bash.bashrc, nor the local /etc/bashrc | 03:13 |
| sanassar | I have the files | 03:13 |
| Agent_bob | sanassar /msg ubottu contribute | 03:13 |
| callbox47 | yes did that too | 03:13 |
| Ienorand | Flannel: okies, it's just that I've had probs before that the swap gets used for some stuff here and there (don't ask me what) and then when I try hibernating there's not enough... | 03:13 |
| Maczimus | jigp did it work? | 03:13 |
| Flannel | sanassar: check the topics/peoplein #ubuntu-motu, they'll give you pages | 03:13 |
| icarus | having trouble finding stuff in repositories (such as amarok and nfs-common) | 03:13 |
| sanassar | Ok | 03:14 |
| Flannel | Ienorand: you need at least as much as your RAM to hibernate (because your RAM gets written to SWAP) | 03:14 |
| callbox47 | It just loops asking for the user/pass | 03:14 |
| Flannel | callbox47: try ctrl-alt-f1, and see if you can log in there (or have to at all) | 03:14 |
| Gnea | amt: check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25557 | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | so i'm not going to get an answer here i guess. | 03:15 |
| Merther | gparted is great thanks | 03:15 |
| Gnea | Merther: :) | 03:15 |
| l3d | i was wondering how i would go about not having nautilus open every time i put in a cd ? | 03:15 |
| odla | also it's been a while since i've used ubuntu (mostly just use debian) but the repos are 'main multiverse universe' correct? | 03:15 |
| Ienorand | Flannel: Yea, true, but are there some know common things that grabs some swap as well? | 03:15 |
| callbox47 | I'll try it, but I've tried two different versions and get the same behaviour | 03:16 |
| pwnguin | lets say i had three CDs and i wanted to take a few tracks from each and put them onto one CD. what's the best program to do that? | 03:16 |
| darjeeling | odla add restricted | 03:16 |
| Flannel | Ienorand: no | 03:16 |
| === Jman is now known as Jguy | ||
| Flannel | Ienorand: Its fully possible to run a system with no swap | 03:16 |
| pwnguin | Flannel: just dont hibernate! | 03:17 |
| odla | darjeeling: ok | 03:17 |
| amirman84 | can anyone please run sudo apt-get remove wpasupplicant (and say no when it asks you if you want to remove it) and just tell me what packages it says it will remove? it's pretty simple and it'll help me be able to use the internet again with ubuntu. | 03:17 |
| Ienorand | Flannel: Um, I'be always thought that virtual memory (term used in win?) goes in swap as well? | 03:17 |
| callbox47 | thanks to all | 03:17 |
| Agent_bob | can anyone answer either of these two questions, 1. why does starting xorg access the network ? 2. does this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1a58ee87 mean that the device is dead ? | 03:17 |
| Gnea | amirman84: network-manager network-manager-gnome ubuntu-minimal wpasupplicant | 03:18 |
| pwnguin | Ienorand: virtual memory is a technology to let you organize process ram wherever. disk, other places of RAM, etc. | 03:18 |
| tsukasa_ | how do i completely remove and reinstall alsa? | 03:18 |
| darjeeling | Agent_bob maybe startx -> start gnome -> gnome vfs or like that wanna connect network | 03:18 |
| hydroponic | In what file do I make changes to PATH globally? I currently don't see it in /etc/profile nor /etc/bash.bashrc, nor the local /etc/bashrc | 03:18 |
| Ienorand | pwnguin: on a laptop hibernate is kinda important. | 03:18 |
| amirman84 | Gnea: thanks so much | 03:18 |
| Pici | amirman84: dpkg -L package or apt-cache depends or rdepends will probably show you what you're looking for. | 03:18 |
| pwnguin | Ienorand: it'll still work sans swap. | 03:18 |
| Agent_bob | Ienorand i haven't used swap for about 3 years now. | 03:18 |
| Gnea | amirman84: cheers | 03:18 |
| Agent_bob | darjeeling ? | 03:19 |
| co_goblok | aloow | 03:19 |
| darjeeling | Agent_bob answer for 1 question | 03:19 |
| Flannel | hydroponic: /etc/environment | 03:19 |
| Gnea | Agent_bob: 1. could be a sub-program that's starting up. 2. probably. | 03:19 |
| amirman84 | thanks Pici, i'll try that | 03:19 |
| darjeeling | Agent_bob and.. do you use block device? like raid | 03:19 |
| === linux_ is now known as DareDevil | ||
| darjeeling | Agent_bob it may be broken | 03:19 |
| hydroponic | Flannel: thanks! Does this affect root also? | 03:20 |
| Ienorand | Agent_bob: So it dumps hibernation data to standard partition instead? Are there any major advantages, still, with swap? | 03:20 |
| gaintsura | does anyone know how to run a command at login? I tried setting it up in sessions applet, but it did not work. | 03:20 |
| Flannel | hydroponic: and local ones go in .bash_profile | 03:20 |
| Agent_bob | darjeeling and Gnea starting xorg accesses the network not starting things in xorg. Xorg and boom! the network lights flicker | 03:20 |
| darjeeling | gaintsura gui command? | 03:20 |
| Flannel | hydroponic: yes, global is global. If you want to make root-specific ones, that'd go in root's bash_profile | 03:20 |
| gaintsura | darjeeling: its a command line, python /home/gaintsura/new_shading.py pidgin | 03:21 |
| hydroponic | Ah, in some distros root isn't affected by that. OK thanks | 03:21 |
| Agent_bob | darjeeling block device like disk drives yes i use block devices. | 03:21 |
| darjeeling | Agent_bob I think you have wrong configuration on block device maybe | 03:21 |
| darjeeling | Agent_bob or device driver has some problem | 03:21 |
| co_goblok | how to Update Kernel ? | 03:22 |
| darjeeling | gaintsura I recommand .bashrc maybe wrong | 03:22 |

| Agent_bob | mneptok yeah? cool i think it may just squeek by if i hurry. | 03:37 |
| mneptok | Agent_bob: X is a network-aware windowing system | 03:37 |
| Agent_bob | mneptok so even without ssh* xforwarding* stuff it still does a quick check for something ? | 03:38 |
| slashjamiec | Does anyone here on Ubuntu 7.10 use Emesene? If so, did they get an "python-central" error? | 03:39 |
| j00bacca | why cant you choose which packages to install initially on ubuntu | 03:39 |
| mneptok | Agent_bob: "what's my hostname? is there DNS? am i in it? etc" | 03:40 |
| Agent_bob | mneptok ok that makes sense. i'm seeing it now. ok i'm caught up for now. thanks a million until you are better paid. | 03:40 |
| Flannel | j00bacca: You can, but not with the desktop CD. | 03:40 |
| ejer | j00bacca: it comes with sane default programs you may need, and you can chage afterwards | 03:40 |
| ChrisULM | I'm trying to set up HTTP tunneling over SSH. I have used this guide http://jstrassburg.blogspot.com/2006/01/howto-tunneling-http-over-ssh-with-dd.html and it works perfectly under windows. But with the same settings it doesnt work under ubuntu. Any ideas? | 03:40 |
| tsolox | i installed ubuntu 8.04 into /dev/sda1, where does it get its swap area from here? how can we tell? | 03:40 |
| mneptok | Agent_bob: they pay me *just fine* thx :) | 03:40 |
| Agent_bob | j00bacca use the "alternate install cd" | 03:41 |
| ejer | ChrisULM: what is the ssh line you are using | 03:41 |
| Flannel | tsolox: cat /etc/fstab | 03:41 |
| j00bacca | ive used the alternate cd still no option to install just minimal packages | 03:41 |
| ChrisULM | ejer, i'm connecting through putty. exactly as the guide says | 03:41 |
| Flannel | tsolox: and that'll either show swap, or won't (third column) | 03:41 |
| slashjamiec | I've had enough /etc/fstab dates thismorning, I'll talk to ya'll later | 03:41 |
| bazhang | !minimal | j00bacca try this | 03:41 |
| ubottu | j00bacca try this: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:41 |
| Flannel | j00bacca: You need to get into the expert install mode (pass the 'expert' parameter) | 03:42 |
| ejer | ChrisULM: putty on ubuntu right | 03:42 |
| j00bacca | at initial boot? | 03:42 |
| ejer | ChrisULM: using port 3000? | 03:42 |
| ChrisULM | ejer, yes sir! exact same settings as my windows box. it connects, and I setup firefox with the same settings. | 03:42 |
| Agent_bob | j00bacca yes at boot time expert | 03:43 |
| Flannel | j00bacca: yeah | 03:43 |
| montpelie | hi there | 03:43 |
| j00bacca | great thanks | 03:43 |
| usser | hello | 03:43 |
| ChrisULM | ejer, exactly the same process as the guide except im using the linux version of putty and firefox | 03:43 |
| ejer | ChrisULM: what error happens, timeout on FF? | 03:43 |
| Flannel | j00bacca: during the install you should also be able to cancel out of the step you're on, and get to the traditional expert menu | 03:43 |
| slashjamiec | I love the smell of toner in the morning! | 03:44 |
| ejer | ChrisULM: anything in putty log as guide suggests? | 03:44 |
| j00bacca | is the expert menu gui or cmdline | 03:44 |
| montpelie | having problem while trying to authenticate with decrypted wep key using the built-in network manager on hardy, please advice | 03:44 |

| Flannel | j00bacca: its a textmode GUI, just like the rest of the install. | 03:44 |
| j00bacca | ok | 03:45 |

| icarus | by the way, any way to make a network drive mount at bootup through GUI and not manually edit fstab ? | 03:52 |
| amirman | thanks again Gnea - you saved me | 03:53 |
| amt2 | ejer: nothing that i can see; the little lights in the ethernet jack dont blink | 03:53 |
| ejer | icarus: it should mount when you login | 03:53 |
| amanulla | i have problem with configuring my graphics card what to do? | 03:53 |
| Xcerca | how can i force a program to close if it froze ? | 03:53 |
| j00bacca | kill -9 program | 03:54 |
| ejer | Xcerca: usually clicking the close button when it is frozen will prompt you to kill it | 03:54 |
| tsukasa_ | ejer: that doesnt solve my problem | 03:54 |
| icarus | ejer: so if I mounted a samba share, told ubuntu to remember the password for ever and ever, it should auto mount it at next login ? | 03:54 |
| odditie | Problem: Login screen resolution set too large since install of KDE. Tried everything I could find and still no solution. | 03:54 |
| ejer | icarus: you can add a bookmark then as soon as you click to it it tries to mount it | 03:54 |
| === odditie is now known as Odditie | ||
| icarus | ejer: but for real automounting, I need to manually edit fstab (or make script) ? | 03:55 |
| amanulla | Xcerca:are u using ubuntu | 03:55 |
| ejer | tsukasa_: how is that? what were the results of troubleshooting | 03:56 |
| ejer | icarus, this guide has it !smbfs | 03:56 |
| tsolox | when i installed ubuntu8.04, but i think i forgot to specify my swap area ( which is in /dev/sda8), can ubuntu find it automatically? and how can i tell that it found it correctly and is using it?? | 03:56 |
| ejer | !smbfs | 03:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about smbfs | 03:56 |
| ejer | grr | 03:56 |

| tsolox | i dont want to re-install it all over again... | 03:56 |
| ejer | icarus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 03:56 |
| icarus | thanks ubottu bot! and thanks ejer | 03:56 |
| icarus | ejer: all right, edit fstab it is then | 03:57 |
| ejer | tsolox: type top in terminal and look at swap line for numbers | 03:57 |
| amanulla | where can i get wine and how to configure it with ubuntu 8 | 03:57 |
| tsukasa_ | ejer: aplay -l works fine, i installed the realtek drivers and messed with a few compiled versions of alsa and shit, i think its installed properly now but i get that error | 03:57 |
| ejer | !wine | amanulla | 03:57 |
| ubottu | amanulla: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 03:57 |
| tsukasa_ | ejer: so something probably broke somewhere along the way | 03:58 |
| ejer | tsukasa_: where do you see this error and, if sound works... what is prob | 03:58 |
| tsolox | ejer: couldn't find any 'swap' word in top | 03:58 |
| tsukasa_ | ejer: sound doesnt work, but it looks like it should. that error is from mplayer | 03:58 |
| ejer | Odditie: is it correct res when you login? | 03:59 |
| amt2 | if it helps: if i do ifconfig, i get a wlan0 | 03:59 |
| ejer | tsolox: type 'free', should say Swap: xxxxx | 03:59 |
| Odditie | ejer: no, desktop is correct resolution, login is not. I have went and removed all the higher resolutions from the xorg. I can set the login style as Plain and it will be correct, but the Themed is set as a larger resolution. | 04:00 |
| ejer | amt2: try plugging it in then in terminal do dhclient eth0 | 04:00 |
| ejer | Odditie: you may have to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:00 |
| amanulla | when i login in ubuntu a check box is being displayed that you are set to minimum display to get visual effect configure your graphic card what to do any one pls? | 04:00 |

| ejer | rroblak: what is issue | 04:02 |
| rroblak | i'm still getting a password prompt | 04:02 |
| ttocsew | tsolox: swapon -s | 04:02 |
| rroblak | i even have it working on machine | 04:02 |
| icarus | ok this is clearly wrong : if I connect to a samba share through the GUI (Places - Network - double-click the smb share and put username/password), I get access the right way. If I mount the same share with same username/password in fstab, I can different access permissions | 04:02 |
| rroblak | but i can't get it working on the other | 04:02 |
| Odditie | ejer: Ok, login is fixed, but now I have to figure out how I ended up getting xorg to detect my vid card and monitor | 04:03 |

| joejoecircusboy | ejer: Well, I'm trying to configure NFSv4 w/ kerberos authentication (haven't got there yet). I just have a basic install going right now w/ NFSv3 + NFSv4. When I try to mount remotely with NFSv3 it works (as expected) -> when I try to mount with nfs4 I get a permission denied (also as expected - I don't have authentication configured yet). | 04:19 |
| joejoecircusboy | Here's what I'm confused about: Why both locking down NFSv4 access with strong authentication if someone can just bypass it all by mounting with NFSv3?? (I don't see any way to disable NFSv3 access to the server) | 04:19 |

| amanulla | soft copy of software to istall in any other system not having internet connection? | 04:22 |
| ejer | joejoecircusboy: i guess it is a question of keeping things working, lots of stuff uses nfsv3... you could recompile kernel and only enable nfsv4 prolly | 04:23 |

| tsolox | i dont want to reinstall ubuntu..how can i tell it to use a different swap area? | 04:25 |
| tsolox | i forgot to tell it, during install | 04:26 |
| amanulla | what is x windows | 04:26 |
| qr | tsolox: /etc/fstab | 04:26 |
| unavailable | yell at it?? | 04:26 |
| ejer | amanulla: in a terminal type wget URL | 04:26 |
| arktvrvs | if you dont know what xwindows is you probably cant help me | 04:26 |
| amanulla | ok | 04:26 |
| tsolox | qr: and how can i verify, indeed, that it is using that swap area??? | 04:26 |
| unavailable | amanulla replace URL with the url you want to "get" | 04:26 |
| qr | tsolox: interesting question... I have no idea. | 04:27 |
| amanulla | amanulla@amanulla-laptop:~$ wget URL | 04:27 |
| amanulla | --08:56:40-- http://url/ | 04:27 |
| amanulla | => `index.html' | 04:27 |
| amanulla | Resolving url... failed: Name or service not known. | 04:27 |
| ejer | joejoecircusboy: there are ways to disable, not necessarily a conf file tweak, but you can... who knows why it worked out that way, it is just how kernel dev goes, it is easy to disable in kernel, and probably there is a way in a conf file, look into rc.nfsd maybe | 04:27 |
| FloodBot2 | amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:27 |
| amanulla | the output of wget in terminal i s above | 04:28 |
| ejer | tsolox: swapon -s will show what it is using, to change it you will have to edit fstab | 04:28 |
| qr | amanulla: you don't type litterally 'wget url' you need to replace url with the url of the file you want to get | 04:28 |
| ejer | amanulla: what do you want to do with wget exactly :) | 04:28 |
| ejer | tsolox: to chage it for this session, type sudo swapon/dev/sdaX (X being your partition) | 04:29 |
| ejer | well to add it that is | 04:29 |
| amanulla | i need softcopy off all softwartes i installed in ubuntu from net so that even in fute if i dont have net connection i would like to use them | 04:29 |
| amanulla | even in future if i dont have net connection i would like to use them | 04:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | ejer: Ah, I think I got it - enabling kerberos on an export either: requires krb5 for both nfsv3 and nfsv4, or: it just block nfsv3 access to that export (I didn't think nfsv3 was kerberos aware) | 04:29 |
| ejer | amanulla: when you install something it gets put on your harddrive, but it is already installed... if you want the package it is in /var/cache/apt/archives | 04:30 |
| amanulla | ok | 04:30 |

| Gun_Smoke | arktvrvs, What are you after exactly? | 04:40 |
| Flannel | arktvrvs: You can't install customized things with the desktop cD (that's the live CD), you need the alternate CD or the minimal CD | 04:40 |
| ejer | arktvrvs: you can just stop graphics system from starting and have same result if you already installed | 04:40 |

| RadishRabbitG | what's the best way of using Ubuntu on two displays with different resolutions? I have ATI Radeon X1300 | 04:42 |
| bazhang | diego, best to do this in channel not PM | 04:43 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 diego here is a guide from the forums on how to configure that manually | 04:43 |
| diego | ok | 04:43 |
| Wyhteagle | ok I have a bigger problem now, any program I try to open it tell me there is no Protocol specified, this includes gedit firefox ect | 04:44 |
| RadishRabbitG | Bigdesktop only seem to support two displays of the same resolutions, in at least x or y | 04:44 |
| bazhang | diego, there are also many other threads there for that nic | 04:44 |
| Wyhteagle | I'm trying to open via term | 04:44 |
| RadishRabbitG | and changing xorg.conf requires restarting X all the time | 04:44 |

| freaky[t] | i have a question, maybe someone can help me. i've got this keyboard, logitech dinovo edge. i really like it. but everytime i start kubuntu, i first have to reconnect the keyboard (works using bluetooth). now, the usb bluetooth adapter is at the back of my pc and everytime i start kubuntu now, i have to crawl behind my pc and press that little connect button on the adapter which is in between of several other connectors. im going crazy. any advice | 05:22 |
| freaky[t] | or help? :D | 05:22 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Flannel: Which one of this applications do you recommend for streaming on Ustream.tv? | 05:22 |
| Svenstaro | danbhfive, I'm not looking for env vars, I'm looking for registered libs | 05:23 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | these* | 05:23 |
| ahtmly2k | since ubuntu is free... so is it a non-profit organization? is it an organization or company at all? | 05:23 |
| SoulDust | found it | 05:23 |
| SoulDust | its in /var/games | 05:23 |
| Flannel | H_M-Ubuntu: I have no idea, sorry. | 05:23 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Essentially, it needs to show up as a camera for flash | 05:23 |
| danbhfive | Svenstaro: yeah, sorry,I dunno | 05:24 |
| pike_ | ahtmly2k: there is paid support and such see company Canonical | 05:24 |

| gregbrady | I just installed 4GB on a 32 bit installation of Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to disable the swap or whatever is taking up my extra RAM. I only have 3.3GB | 05:25 |
| gregbrady | Any way to do that? | 05:25 |
| Neseth | R_YoYo_R i like, it has a kind of online operation system in ajax, i use their browser how a proxy to access demonoid (its blocked in my country =p ) | 05:26 |

| H4shsha | how do you reset irssi settings to defaults? | 05:26 |
| Flannel | H4shsha: rm -r ~/.irssi | 05:27 |
| IdleOne | #irssi | 05:27 |
| Flannel | H4shsha: then start irssi | 05:27 |
| danbhfive | gregbrady: while 4g is what you are supposed to get, I have heard of people getting less than that. Maybe you are running into the same problem | 05:27 |
| ziovan | hey flannel quick question | 05:28 |
| H4shsha | sweet flannel, thanks | 05:28 |
| gregbrady | danbhfive, ok, understood. I've not tried XP yet with this RAM to see what I get. That might me interesting. | 05:28 |

| gregbrady | danbhfive, or, try a 64 bit install.....of Linux | 05:28 |

| diegocrow | hello everyone, i have a Rosewill RNX-G300EX (RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI) wifi card that I'm trying to get to connect, but I'm having some trouble | 05:29 |
| Cpudan80 | gregbrady: That's the only way to get the 4GB ram | 05:29 |
| Flannel | ziovan: System > Admin > Sftware properties (or software sources) | 05:29 |
| ziovan | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20the%20Universe%20and%20Multiverse%20Repositories | 05:29 |
| diegocrow | can anyone give me a hand? | 05:29 |
| Cpudan80 | gregbrady: The 4GB limit in 32 bit machines is 4GB of *addressable space* not just RAM | 05:29 |
| gregbrady | Cpudan80, got you....but I don't think my graphics card takes up 700 MB | 05:29 |
| Flannel | ziovan: For some reason, they feel like changing the text all the time. But you'll see something close to it. | 05:29 |
| danbhfive | gregbrady: yes, but I like to tell people that its not worth the trouble. There is also some server thing that lets you get more than 4g of ram on a 32bit install | 05:29 |
| Cpudan80 | gregbrady: The graphics card counts against the addressable space | 05:29 |
| ziovan | thanks i think i found it the gui is diff though | 05:29 |
| Flannel | danbhfive, gregbrady: PAE isn't really worth it. | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | gregbrady: Hrm.... if your gfx card had 512 MB of RAM, the rest could be some rounding error | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | 512 is very common for modern gfx card | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | cards* | 05:30 |
| gregbrady | Cpudan80, yes, but mine has some onboard | 05:30 |
| Flannel | Its not taken up by graphics cards, it just really does max out at 3.3 or whatever it is. | 05:30 |
| gregbrady | I think 128MB onboard with 64MB shared | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Flannel: should be a little higher than 3.3 - but yeah | 05:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Flannel: I thought it was like 3.6 | 05:31 |
| gregbrady | Flannel, ok, but if I try a 64 bit system, will it utilize more? | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | 64 bit will not have any problem | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | it will see the full 4GB | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | don't do the PAE hack, its not worth it | 05:32 |
| abrahm | can someone tell me if when you install ubuntu onto a windows drive, if you can mount the remaining windows partition rw ? | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | abrahm: yes | 05:32 |
| abrahm | hmmm | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | !ntfs | abrahm | 05:32 |
| ubottu | abrahm: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 05:32 |
| Flannel | gregbrady: 64bit OSes can address like 16EB of RAM or something. | 05:32 |
| abrahm | it's a vfat | 05:32 |
| gregbrady | Cpudan80, no, 64 bit linux distro of some sort | 05:32 |
| abrahm | and when i try everything it wont let me do write as normal users | 05:33 |
| Cpudan80 | abrahm: vfat? that'll work fine | 05:33 |
| xxpor | does anyone know if there is a new kernal that supports ACPI on the HP Pavilion tx2500 | 05:33 |
| Cpudan80 | abrahm: are you sure its vfat? | 05:33 |
| xxpor | kernel* | 05:33 |
| Cpudan80 | abrahm: that would be FAT32 in windows speak | 05:33 |
| sekyourbox | Test | 05:33 |
| Cpudan80 | gregbrady: right yeah - 64 bit wont have any problem (dont do the PAE hack with 32 bit) | 05:33 |
| abrahm | /dev/sdc5 /media/SECOND vfat users,auto,uid=kenny,gid=users,umask=000 0 0 | 05:33 |
| Cpudan80 | sekyourbox: fail | 05:33 |
| sekyourbox | no need for test back | 05:33 |

| gregbrady | Cpudan80, got you and will not try the hack. | 05:34 |
| macapa_tux | I need help, when I execute a video with any video player in ubuntu 8.04 it is stopped, someone can help me ? | 05:34 |
| Cpudan80 | abrahm: yeah but that is autodetected - it is prob wron | 05:34 |
| abrahm | i can mount it no prob when i run my other harddrive with ubuntu on it | 05:34 |
| Cpudan80 | wrong* | 05:34 |
| Cpudan80 | abrahm: how many HDDs do you have - and how is each partition (on each disk) formatted? | 05:34 |
| bobsomebody | quick question.... | 05:34 |
| abrahm | i have 3 drives | 05:34 |
| lbs | hi,I want to install ubuntu by Wubi method,but my computer cannot connect to Internet,How can I do? | 05:35 |
| abrahm | and 3 partitions on 2 of them | 05:35 |
| bobsomebody | im researching a solid "parental" control system, is edubuntu good for this? | 05:35 |
| gregbrady | does the wubi install on XP install a 64 bit version that will recognize the full 4 GB? | 05:35 |
| bobsomebody | i dont have time to research it deep if its not the end i need | 05:35 |
| abrahm | the with the swap stuff | 05:35 |
| Flannel | lbs: You just need a desktop CD, you don't need the internet | 05:35 |
| bobsomebody | so im asking :P | 05:35 |
| Cpudan80 | gregbrady: no | 05:35 |
| ziovan | im having trouble enabling the "universe" repository | 05:35 |

| Cpudan80 | I stand corrected | 05:36 |

| pc3 | #Jakarta | 05:45 |

| pc3 | hahahaha........ | 05:47 |
| bdunlap | i dont have /proc/cpuinfo is that normal? | 05:49 |
| wols | bdunlap: then you don't run linux | 05:49 |

| bdunlap | i had to be in the dir to view it... weird. | 05:50 |
| wols | bdunlap: it wasn't intended as funny. if we assume you tell the truth this is the only possible outcome | 05:50 |
| wols | bdunlap: you don'tr | 05:50 |
| pc3 | hai........ | 05:50 |
| wols | pc3: do you have a ubuntu related question? | 05:51 |

| pc3 | syeft | 05:52 |
| jimmio | R_YoYo_R: thanks | 05:52 |
| bdunlap | wols, if i said "i don't have /proc/cpuinfo" that doesn't mean I don't have /proc so by assuming i don't have /proc you are assuming your answer incorrectly. | 05:52 |
| jimmio | How about a program similar in functionality to Fruity Loops Studio? | 05:52 |
| R_YoYo_R | jimmio, dont know | 05:52 |
| pc3 | wols do you no indo | 05:52 |
| diegocrow | jimmio, i don't know of that program | 05:52 |
| danbhfive | diegocrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61 maybe that will help? I have no idea | 05:52 |
| wols | bloodboy: you said you don't have a file which EVERY linux kernel shows. ALL of them. so either you lie or you don't run linux. QED | 05:53 |
| wols | bloodboy: my answer is 100% correct | 05:53 |
| jimmio | It's a 300 some dollar piece of software for Windows only. | 05:53 |
| R_YoYo_R | jimmio, i have used it | 05:54 |
| R_YoYo_R | jimmio, wine may run it | 05:54 |
| jimmio | Hmm... but also have ASIO working properly to get a millisecond of delay total? Or is ASIO just some stupid crap for Windows and Macintosh, and Linux enables writing to the soundcard at those speeds? | 05:55 |
| wols | jimmio: use a rt kernel | 05:55 |
| jimmio | wols: So I can actually replace my dumb laggy windows recording box with a Linux one? Oh happy day. | 05:56 |

| thomasite | Hello | 06:03 |
| thomasite | I have a question. My friend, who uses XP on his desktop PC, wants to remotely log-in to my laptop (which runs on Ubuntu). | 06:03 |
| gavimobile | hey foolks i have no propitery drivers listed in ubuntu, not sure what i did to make them disapear, but how can i make them come back? | 06:03 |
| thomasite | I have already followed some steps I found on the Internet, specifically that of setting up Remote Desktop | 06:04 |
| thomasite | What else do I have to do? | 06:04 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, enable remote desktop on your machine. have him run the tightvnc client and type in your IP | 06:04 |
| germ_414 | Hi all. i've got my sound working, but can't record. I can hear the input through the speakers (if i talk in mic i hear it in speakers), but audacity and "sound recorder" both error... any ideas? | 06:04 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, i remote into my machine from work daily ... are you behind a router? | 06:04 |
| dVs-- | if i downloaded frostwire and it installed itself but now doesnt work how do i uninstall it ? the packedge manager thing installed it | 06:05 |
| thomasite | He says he is using something like VNC. | 06:05 |
| thomasite | I already gave him my IP address as well as my password | 06:05 |
| MasterFruityLoop | sudo apt-del frostwire | 06:05 |
| thomasite | I think I am behind a router. | 06:05 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, something "like" vnc? | 06:05 |
| thomasite | Is there any issue that I have to deal since I am behind a router. | 06:05 |
| thomasite | ? | 06:05 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: does your ip being with 192.168...? | 06:05 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, what do you mean you think? do you have arouter? | 06:05 |
| thomasite | I don't exactly know what the 'brand' of the software he is using but it's vnc. | 06:06 |
| thomasite | Yes, my IP begins with those numbers | 06:06 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: you are behind a router | 06:06 |
| thomasite | I am not sure if I am behind a router. :( | 06:06 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, ok | 06:06 |
| dVs-- | MasterFruityLoop command not found | 06:06 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, so you need to set up an account with dyndns.org | 06:07 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: I'm sure, but its a problem that you aren't. The reason being is because you need to do some setup on that router I think | 06:07 |
| thomasite | How do I setup an account? Is it free? | 06:07 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, set up a domain name and use port forwarding on your router to forward port 5900 to the ip of your laptop | 06:07 |
| MasterFruityLoop | dVs-? | 06:07 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, its free | 06:07 |
| thomasite | How do I do that? | 06:07 |
| danbhfive | R_YoYo_R: that doesnt make up for setting up the router correctly | 06:07 |
| dVs-- | MasterFruityLoop i tried that command | 06:08 |

| thomasite | Okay | 06:08 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, you would most likely want to set a static IP on your laptop too | 06:08 |
| thomasite | So I'm visiting dynDNS.orgnow | 06:08 |
| dVs-- | sudo: apt-del: command not found | 06:08 |

| Kurt | (without the quotes) | 06:08 |
| R_YoYo_R | danbhfive, ?? | 06:08 |
| Adross | Kurt: already fixed it. Gdm eventually started, changed back to default, everythings ok | 06:08 |
| Adross | thanks anyway | 06:08 |
| Kurt | ok :) | 06:08 |
| thomasite | I have a static IP. At least that's what the manual network configuration tool says | 06:08 |
| R_YoYo_R | danbhfive, you know a better way? do tell | 06:08 |
| danbhfive | R_YoYo_R: dont send him to dyndns, its not necessary at this point | 06:09 |
| alpha232 | jeeeze Runway is takin fo-eva | 06:09 |
| R_YoYo_R | danbhfive, well ... unless his router had a static IP | 06:09 |
| cmonk82 | hello | 06:09 |
| thomasite | How do I check if my router has static IP? | 06:09 |
| thomasite | My IP is static. Does this mean that my router's IP is also static> | 06:09 |
| thomasite | ? | 06:09 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, depends if your ISP gives you one ... i know comcast doesnt give me one | 06:10 |
| fulio | Hi, im having some problems. im using 7.04 and i have never did any updates in awhile so i finally did it today , and it said to restart which i did, then i got failed to start xserver. so i did the sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg and it was fix then when was able to login now the graphics is all messed up and my CF isnt working anymore any ideas? | 06:10 |
| danbhfive | R_YoYo_R: well, I think he should first setup his router correctly, then just use 121.97.154.218 once that works, THEN he can worry about dynDNS | 06:10 |
| thomasite | Assuming that my router has static IP, what do I have to do next? | 06:10 |
| R_YoYo_R | danbhfive, ok ... agreed | 06:10 |
| R_YoYo_R | danbhfive, good point | 06:10 |
| * thomasite is boggled | 06:11 | |
| dVs-- | if i downloaded frostwire and it installed itself but now doesnt work how do i uninstall it ? the packedge manager thing installed it | 06:11 |
| Talon3793 | i've been browsing the ubuntu site, and i had a question, is the default install a live install? can i download a DVD iso of an offline installation if so? I'm a SuSE user lookin for a change, n i wanted to try ubuntu, i was told to try ubuntu or fedora. every SuSE release I've downloaded a DVD with all the stuff rather than the live CD. much easier for me I think. | 06:11 |
| thomasite | What do I have to do next? Please. Thanks. | 06:11 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, what kind of router? | 06:12 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: your first step in all this is to login to your router, and open up the port that R_YoYo_R suggested, I think it was 5100? | 06:12 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: 5900 | 06:12 |
| fulio | Hi guys, i had a update today and it told me to restart right after it finished then i got a failed to start xserver | 06:12 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, danbhfive the default port for remote desktop in ubuntu is 5900 but through the gui you can change it to whatever you want | 06:12 |
| thomasite | How do I login to my router? | 06:13 |
| thomasite | I don't know what my router is. :( | 06:13 |
| Kurt | Talon3793: if you are using a liveCD, you will not need an internet connection (it is not "live" in the online sense) to complete the installation | 06:13 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, in a browser try typing in 192.168.1.1 | 06:13 |
| thomasite | okay | 06:13 |
| fulio | May someone help me? | 06:13 |
| thomasite | It says: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1. | 06:13 |
| Kurt | Talon3793: LiveCD simply means that you can try the distribution out via the CD before actually committing to installing it | 06:13 |
| R_YoYo_R | try 192.168.1.100 | 06:13 |
| Talon3793 | well some distros a live cd is, internet install, others is a bootable demonstration, etc.. | 06:14 |
| Talon3793 | didnt know what to do when i saw live | 06:14 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, your wireless right? | 06:14 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: you can also try 192.168.0.1 | 06:14 |
| thomasite | No. I'm on a LAN (?) I'm not using a wireless connection. | 06:14 |
| bullgard4 | [LAN with ADSL connection] Laptop computer 1 has no Internet connection after operating it elsewhere last night. ping to the LAN router functions. 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' obtains: "[OK]". 'ping www.google.com' obtains: "ping: unknown host www.google.com". nmapplet > Network Settings > DNS does not let me fill in an address in the 'DNS Servers' field. How to fix that? | 06:14 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, did you set up the router? | 06:15 |
| Kurt | Talon3793: Right, I understand :) | 06:15 |
| Kurt | Good luck with trying Ubuntu! | 06:15 |
| thomasite | I tried 192.168.0.1 but it's taking the browser very long to load anything | 06:16 |
| thomasite | I'm just a 'subscriber' to the LAN. | 06:16 |
| thomasite | I don't know who set up the router. | 06:17 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, even if we get the right ip you will still need to know the username and password to log into your router ... which is why if you didnt set this up then | 06:17 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, this isnt going to work then | 06:17 |
| Talon3793 | I doubt its what i want... but i figure i'd give it a shot... I'm looking to get video capture with my ATI all in wonder card so i can finally ditch windows and no longer dual boot, and my card isnt supported under the gatos project, its a newer one... SuSE supports the 3d acceleration but not the video capture and im afraid all distros will inevitably end in the same result | 06:17 |
| thomasite | Oh. :( | 06:18 |
| thomasite | There's no other way? (Thanks for the assistance.) | 06:18 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, im trying to think of any other ways .... | 06:18 |
| danbhfive | thomasite: you would have to talk to your network administrator for help | 06:18 |
| thomasite | Okay. :D | 06:19 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, the point being having him remote in to check out ubuntu? | 06:19 |
| R_YoYo_R | i spilled beer on my keybord! | 06:19 |
| R_YoYo_R | oh god | 06:19 |
| danbhfive | R_YoYo_R: maybe there is some way he can initiate the connection somehow? | 06:20 |
| thomasite | My friend wants to access some of my files | 06:20 |
| StepNjump | Eh guys, in order to see my NTFS files on a different computer over a network, am I supposed to mount the remote disk location so I can see it? | 06:20 |
| R_YoYo_R | danbhfive, a guy at my work was telling me of a way to do just that .... but i cant remember how | 06:20 |
| Talon3793 | thomasite, many routers you can download the manual for if you know the make and model, and in that manual is the access address, default username, and password. assuming this is a home setup, and that the login information hasnt been changed, the manual will help you get rolling.. I had to do that for my westell that came free with my subscription to DSL | 06:21 |
| thomasite | I see. | 06:21 |
| thomasite | I've read in the forums about SSH. | 06:21 |
| thomasite | Is this another way to do remote login? | 06:21 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, its not linux specific .... if you had a windows machine how would he log into it? | 06:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | SSH is remote console login, it doesn't do graphics by itself | 06:22 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, i know there are free trials of gotomeeting and stuff ... dont know if that works for linux | 06:22 |
| thomasite | It says there, and allow me to quote: If you want to securely connect to your machine from a remote computer, even a computer running another operating system like Mac OS or Windows, then you need to install the openssh-server package from the main repository. | 06:22 |
| citizen42alpha | no, for that bit of wizardry you'll need VNC aswell. | 06:22 |
| citizen42alpha | don't confuse the lad though. | 06:23 |
| ph0rensic_ | Is there an easy way to find out which device I am using? I mean I know from the GUI which one it is but I dont know its /dev/dsp ...?? Im trying to get sound to work in vmware | 06:23 |

| R_YoYo_R | amenado, thats not what he said | 06:23 |
| DaFFes | has anyone installed the chrome? I built it but now i don't know how to run the browser, does anyone knows? | 06:23 |

| LSD|Ninja | DaFFes: Chrome doesn't have a UI on anything but Windows yet afaik. You can compile it, but it won't do much | 06:24 |
| jimmio | I dislike Jack Audio Server muchly... I could never get it to work... but it seems it's working now... Why do the recording things use Jack? | 06:24 |

| * thomasite is frothing at the mouth. | 06:25 | |
| LSD|Ninja | thomasite: What are you trying to do? I jumped in late | 06:25 |
| R_YoYo_R | i find that vino running on ubuntu and tightvnc client running on winblows boxes works the best ... right out of the box too (if you have router set up) | 06:26 |
| thomasite | I didn't know remote login is so complicated. | 06:26 |

| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, if you could get your network admin to forward port 5900 (or whatever really) to your ip address this would "just work" | 06:28 |
| R_YoYo_R | thomasite, as it stands the remote computer has no route to your computer which is in its own network | 06:28 |
| myr | i wish installing ubuntu server would "just work" :[ | 06:29 |
| R_YoYo_R | myr, sorry | 06:29 |
| ph0rensic_ | myr.. what do you mean it doesn't? | 06:29 |
| ph0rensic_ | I installed it recently and it just works | 06:29 |
| myr | trying to install server on a box with 128mb ram, it hangs during the installation | 06:29 |
| ph0rensic_ | I mena there are configurations and tweaks that should be applied | 06:29 |

| thomasite | Then, there's no way for my friend to remotely login. :( | 06:30 |
| ph0rensic_ | myr: Did you check the disk? | 06:30 |
| myr | ph0rensic_, yes | 06:30 |
| R_YoYo_R | myr, do non graphic? | 06:30 |
| thomasite | Thanks for the help, y'all. :) I appreciate your giving me your thoughts on this matter. | 06:30 |
| ph0rensic_ | thomasite: why not? | 06:30 |
| ph0rensic_ | thomasite: Is quite easy | 06:30 |
| ph0rensic_ | THis is a home router? | 06:30 |
| R_YoYo_R | ph0rensic_, you must not have been here long enough | 06:31 |
| myr | R_YoYo_R, is there another .iso i would need besides the server one that would work better with low ram? | 06:31 |
| ph0rensic_ | probably not i just got here but what is his problem? | 06:31 |
| jigp | hello is there a way to have fast internet with my ubuntu server 8.04? very slow net connect...this is my setup : isp modem route type --- ubuntu --- switch --- 40 units... if i use netgear router, internet is really fast ... compare to ubuntu... :( | 06:31 |
| R_YoYo_R | myr, i dont know. never done a ubuntu server. never even thought about it | 06:31 |
| ph0rensic_ | myr: I think there are lighter server installations than ubuntu server | 06:32 |
| QtQ | any one have a good reason for a good joke ? | 06:32 |
| danbhfive | myr I think there is a work around of just settting up the swap partition before you start the install process | 06:32 |
| myr | ph0rensic_, any recommendations for a LAMP distro then? | 06:32 |
| thomasite | Huh? | 06:33 |
| ph0rensic_ | R_YoYo_R: So what was the big let down for thomasite ? WHy cant he get it to work? | 06:33 |
| R_YoYo_R | myr, debian etch | 06:33 |
| Kurt | debian server install is quite good | 06:33 |
| danbhfive | ph0rensic_: he doesnt know the setup of his network... | 06:33 |
| R_YoYo_R | ph0rensic_, he doesnt have access to his router | 06:33 |
| ph0rensic_ | R_YoYo_R: Oh, he'd need that to forward 5900 | 06:33 |
| R_YoYo_R | ph0rensic_, right | 06:34 |
| ph0rensic_ | thomasite: how come you don't have access to your router? | 06:34 |

| thomasite | No, my friend lives at least 200 miles away. | 06:36 |
| R_YoYo_R | ph0rensic_, there is ... i know there is. but i dont know how to go about setting it up | 06:36 |

| amenado | Ububegin-> i assume reading that would have given you a hint by now | 06:52 |
| ballsac | hi.. | 06:52 |
| R_YoYo_R | Ububegin, that probably means your running centOS and not ubuntu try #centOS | 06:53 |
| LSD|Ninja | CentOS is basically RHEL compiled from SRPMs and teh RH identifiers remove | 06:53 |
| ballsac | where to get cd | 06:53 |
| clarence__ | who can answer my question? | 06:53 |
| danbhfive | Arodon: so, when you start keytouch-editor, which key do you use to select the correct device? | 06:53 |

| LSD|Ninja | R_YoYo_R: it let you run OS X on top of a Linux base back in the PowerPC days iirc | 06:54 |
| ballsac | LSD|Ninja ok thanks for ur support ok ur only one who help. but how to find close mirror | 06:54 |
| Ububegin | R_YoYo_R: :D .. Actually, i am running ubuntu on my system.. the remote system is running centos... Shit,.. | 06:54 |
| R_YoYo_R | ballsac, torrents usually go fast | 06:54 |
| amenado | QtQ lots of reasons, can be intimidating, and why do you need to compile a new one? | 06:54 |
| jimmio | ballsac: Your name isn't family appropriate... | 06:54 |
| LSD|Ninja | ballsac: Ubuntu have a lit on their site. ISPs sometimes have mirrors too, try yours | 06:55 |

| asho79 | eclipse is in the synaptic manager | 06:57 |
| Arodon | danbhfive: ohh I think I misunderstood the earlier question. I can't even select the device - it doesn't respond to any of the keys, special or regular | 06:57 |
| clarence__ | eclipse C | 06:57 |
| leaphion | amenado: sorry to disturb, but should I use ifconfig or the Network Configurator GUI for changing the IP? I have an ubuntu on my desktop and changing static IP to dhcp is as easy and working as "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1" and "dhclient eth0" | 06:57 |
| LSD|Ninja | ballsac: Ubuntu is popular enough that it shouldn't be too hard to find a relatively fast mirror close to you | 06:57 |
| jimmio | Hmm, I don't know of ubottu saying anything about inappropriate names, anyone have the command? | 06:57 |
| danbhfive | Arodon: have you tried a different device then? | 06:57 |
| Arodon | danbhfive: although I am able to use the power button to select the power button device (separate from the main keyboard) | 06:57 |
| Ububegin | R_YoYo_R: sorry, dude.. just frustrated that I have to learn CentOs now.. thanks all for the help.. | 06:58 |
| amenado | leaphion-> either tool is okay to use, whatever suits your needs | 06:58 |

| Arodon | danbhfive: the other devices - lid switch, video bus, ps/2 mouse, apls glide point, acpi device, macintosh mouse button emulation - don't seem to react to anything | 06:58 |
| ph0rensic_ | !ask | seano1 | 06:58 |

| leaphion | amenado: m'kay... then the IP shouldn't be the case | 06:58 |
| clarence__ | and use makefile | 06:58 |

| LSD|Ninja | rredd4: so you were running ext3 when this happened? | 07:22 |
| rredd4 | yes | 07:22 |
| rredd4 | unop how can i install grub with the desktop cd without having to format the hd in the partition setup? | 07:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | rredd4: Oh, OK. Ubuntu uses grub-install to install GRUB and it's a steaming pile. Among otehr things, it doesn't likei nstalling to non-ext3 partitions. Sine you were running ext3 I'm out of ideas :P | 07:23 |

| myr | clarence_, are you using sudo? | 07:53 |
| unop | myr, i would say it should install just fine | 07:53 |
| reqqit | explain: I zip a folder, extract it - I have two identical folder trees. I open them the same way, to the same file, in list mode | 07:53 |
| clarence_ | yes | 07:53 |
| reqqit | I right click the same two files, both named the same, both type 'plain text file' | 07:53 |
| clarence_ | it said " | 07:54 |
| clarence_ | Unable to obtain exclusive lock | 07:54 |
| clarence_ | This usually means the other package manager programs (such as aprt-get or aptitude) is being implemented. Please close these programs." | 07:54 |
| reqqit | One right click gives me 'open with text editor' | 07:54 |
| reqqit | the OTHER right click, on the same file (copied) DOESN'T give me that option | 07:54 |
| reqqit | what the hell is going on? | 07:54 |
| reqqit | Same file name. Same 'type' reported. | 07:54 |

| fudus | how do i mount a device using nautilus? i can use mount to do it, but then I need to sudo everything in order to write to the mount point | 07:56 |
| myr | MickLH, that's pretty sweet | 07:56 |
| zvacet | clarence_ : close them all and try again with sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt | 07:56 |
| chubs | fudus: change permissions on your mount point, but mount is a root command generally | 07:56 |
| MickLH | myr: It was a pretty radical change, single P3 upgrade to Core 2 Duo from 512MB RAM to 2GB | 07:56 |

| rredd4 | unop when i type grub-install /dev/sda it says: "stage1 not read correctly" I cd'd into /boot/grub and stage1 is there. i didn't open it though | 07:57 |
| myr | fudus, on the left, there should be a list of drives, if it's there right click and choose mount | 07:57 |

| reqqit | OK, I have two windows open, I am just ctrl-c ctrl-ving some files, because there is no 'replace if newer' option, and I was out of net access and had to suffer editing files on a shitty windows laptop, so I am not in a good mood | 08:04 |
| znik_ | how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card | 08:04 |
| clarence_ | hello | 08:04 |
| reqqit | When I ctrl v into nautilus, in list view, the FIRST time I ctrl v, it does NOTHING except focus, and center the folder | 08:04 |
| chubs | unop: by explain? i meant it wouldn't. | 08:04 |
| znik | how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card | 08:04 |
| reqqit | can someone verify that? then the second ctrl-v actually asks if I want to copy the files. | 08:04 |
| clarence_ | I'm back | 08:04 |
| unop | chubs, he said that this here is a vbox share .. so if you changed ownership on it, you affect the ownership on the real directory - which might not be what he wants | 08:04 |
| zvacet | znik : 1-2 | 08:04 |
| rredd4 | unop night ty for your help. | 08:05 |
| chubs | unop: but that's not what he did, because he changed ownership on the mount point | 08:05 |
| reqqit | open up two nautilus, in list mode, and copy ~/.emacs to ~/lolcats, anything, using two windows, click the lolcats folder and press ctrl-v, it does nothing. | 08:05 |
| zvacet | clarence_ : does it work now | 08:05 |
| clarence_ | yes | 08:05 |
| clarence_ | because I use english | 08:05 |
| reqqit | unop, can you try this to verify? nautilus on 8.04 | 08:05 |
| mynameistux_ | I am getting the error http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/LILO_Error_Codes but how do I implemete the fix, if I can't boot? | 08:05 |
| unop | chubs, if the directory is mounted on the mountpoint and you changed permissions on it recursively, you affect the permissions of all contents underneath it too | 08:06 |
| reqqit | ctrl-c a file, click another nautilus window, in list mode, and press ctrl-v, nothing happens, press again, it works | 08:06 |
| reqqit | unop, does that sound weird? | 08:06 |
| zvacet | clarence_ : 8-) | 08:06 |
| mynameistux_ | I have my reasons for using LILO | 08:06 |
| unop | reqqit, it sure does, though i don't use gnome .. so i can't verify this for you | 08:06 |
| chubs | unop: he can't mount it, how can this be a problem? | 08:06 |
| clarence_ | I'm Taiwanese, when I switch English | 08:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | mynameistux_: because you;re a masochist? :P | 08:06 |
| QtQ | hahahaha | 08:07 |
| clarence_ | the system is ok | 08:07 |
| unop | chubs, ahh, how could he access any files on the share if it weren't mouned? | 08:07 |
| myr | mynameistux_, use a livecd ? | 08:07 |
| unop | chubs, doesn't make sense. | 08:07 |
| chubs | unop: was the problem not that he couldn't access them? that was my understanding | 08:07 |
| mynameistux_ | but, don't I have to be in the install that lilo is used for, to implemete the fix | 08:07 |
| reqqit | anyone on gnome, with a nautilus open, I'd like to verify if this is reproducible please | 08:07 |
| myr | mynameistux_, no | 08:07 |
| QtQ | unop what type off device are... | 08:07 |
| ashmew2 | sup reqqit ? | 08:08 |
| mynameistux_ | so, I boot into a livecd, open a termial, and run the commands | 08:08 |
| unop | chubs, right, so he needs some way of allowing his user access to the share .. usually the filesystem driver provides options for doing this without you needing to changer permissions or ownership on the actual files | 08:08 |
| reqqit | ashmew2, open two nautilus windows - copy from one with ctrl-c, then ctrl-v | 08:08 |
| reqqit | the first ctrl-v to the new window will do nothing | 08:08 |
| znik_ | how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card | 08:08 |
| ashmew2 | oh :O | 08:08 |
| ashmew2 | wait ill try | 08:08 |
| ashmew2 | nope | 08:09 |
| myr | mynameistux_, yes, you will need to know the name of your partition like /dev/hda1 | 08:09 |
| ashmew2 | its working fine | 08:09 |
| reqqit | I am doing this manually because I want to only copy selected files, I could probably script a 'copy if newer from tree to tree' or open an ftpd and use filezillas feature to do local copies... | 08:09 |
| chubs | unop: I thought that his problem was simply that he did not own the directory he was trying to mount the share on | 08:09 |
| murlidhar | does anybody know how to install a grub . my ibex's grub has overtaken this one | 08:09 |

| rkirmizi | when i say apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:10 |
| reqqit | why am I having to press ctrl-v twice EVERY TIME. this is insane. | 08:10 |

| LSD|Ninja | unni: I have no experience with multi monitor setups I'm afraid :( | 08:39 |
| unni | ok | 08:39 |
| Heero_Mamoru | unop: and sometime i can't play dvd or vcd dics it saying the samething | 08:40 |
| ligemeget | legend2440 lspci -v says "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])" | 08:40 |
| unni | LSD|Ninja: i configured it in optiplex 745 | 08:40 |
| djhash | CodeWar: you should get the certificates from the person who built the WPA2-enterprise authentication system | 08:40 |
| ligemeget | I'm considering buying a new one if this one is so old... Are they generally especially expensive or difficult to install...? | 08:40 |
| unni | i have ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 2400 HD | 08:41 |
| LSD|Ninja | clarence_: .vob is a DVD container format which are typically encrypted. medibuntu can set you up with what you need to handle it | 08:41 |
| CodeWar | djhash, hmmm we use a userid and password to login not sure theres any certificate thats handed out | 08:41 |
| legend2440 | ligemeget: oh ok. well i think your out of luck for newer drivers for that .. sorry | 08:41 |
| clarence_ | What C compiler do everyone use? | 08:41 |
| Flannel | clarence_: gcc | 08:41 |
| clarence_ | how to use? | 08:41 |
| barcafans | could u tell me further information about UBUNTU MUSLIM EDITION | 08:41 |
| barcafans | please :) !!! | 08:42 |
| unop | heh | 08:42 |
| zvacet | alistair : you can not install another desktop from live CD read http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/puregnome to see how to do it | 08:42 |
| dnncrew | hola | 08:42 |
| rkirmizi | Flannel: sorry i was out | 08:43 |
| nate_ | hay who do i extract a bunch of files into one? | 08:43 |
| legend2440 | ligemeget: maybe someone in channel #ati would have some idea | 08:43 |
| rkirmizi | now is there any way to set up mysql-server to this old pc | 08:43 |
| djhash | CodeWar: are you sure they use WPA2-Enterprise authentication system? | 08:43 |
| nate_ | like when u download a torrent and its in 50 files that make one movie | 08:43 |
| Heero_Mamoru | in user setting there my name and the other is root. can i delete it or just leave it there. Im kinda new here. and sometime some apps saying i need to be root to run such as clamtk update i need to be root | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | !sudo | Heero_Mamoru | 08:44 |
| ubottu | Heero_Mamoru: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 08:44 |
| Heero_Mamoru | !gksu | 08:45 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:45 |
| LSD|Ninja | nate_: unrar the first one and the rest will follow | 08:45 |
| CodeWar | djhash, wpa2-enterprise and WEP keys thats what our wiki says. Is there something fundamentally wrong here | 08:45 |
| Flannel | rkirmizi: technically, sure. You could switch the repos over to the archive *not* *supported* or *updated* for *two* years now. and install from that. | 08:45 |
| djhash | CodeWar: can you send me the link to your wiki.. | 08:46 |
| clarence_ | how to use GCC | 08:46 |
| clarence_ | ok | 08:46 |
| rkirmizi | Flannel: normally i m not using this. distro. but there is no one using linux around here | 08:46 |
| djhash | clarence_: gcc program.c | 08:46 |
| rkirmizi | bec. of this my teachers has given this work to me | 08:46 |
| Flannel | rkirmizi: Alright, well, you really need to update. but that will technically work for a short term fix. | 08:47 |
| nate_ | so i dont highlight them all and use ark? LSD|Ninja | 08:47 |
| rkirmizi | Flannel: i just need to install mysql server :) | 08:47 |
| rkirmizi | not much | 08:47 |
| Flannel | rkirmizi: Right. Switch all your repos over to the old-releases one and install it. | 08:47 |
| clarence_ | do gcc have another command? | 08:47 |
| * bl4st0m0rph4 say hi | 08:48 | |

| Hyphenex | hey, I've just installed some the Mac WiFi drivers on my MacBook (I can run commands such as sudo iwlist ath0 scan and they run fine) but I don't get the little Wireless icon up the top the others do. How do I get this? | 08:49 |

| clarence_ | do gcc have another command? | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | Hyphenex: What happens when you run "nm-applet" ? | 08:49 |
| djhash | clarence_: what do you mean by another command? | 08:49 |
| CyberWolf | how could i reset a timer (like 60days before expires) on a game demo....i dont wanna crack it,i just wanna get to play demo once more | 08:49 |
| visik7 | Hyphenex: ubuntu on the macbook ? | 08:50 |
| Flannel | CyberWolf: That'd be out of the scope of this channel. | 08:50 |
| CyberWolf | ok | 08:50 |
| Hyphenex | Jordan_U: ahh, it's not found. is that what I need? :) | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | Hyphenex: Yes, it should be installed by default though | 08:50 |
| clarence_ | do gcc have another command? | 08:50 |
| visik7 | Hyphenex: look in your running processes if nm-applet is running | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | Hyphenex: Are you sure you typed it correctly? | 08:50 |
| Flannel | clarence_: For what? | 08:50 |
| Hyphenex | The program 'nm-applet' can be found in the following packages: | 08:51 |
| Hyphenex | * network-manager-gnome <- Pretty sure | 08:51 |

| allahmatra | oooooh, thanks very much, no wonder I am haz trouble :D | 08:51 |
| clarence_ | If you want to design a GUI software | 08:51 |

| zcat[1] | !ide | 08:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ide | 08:52 |
| Flannel | clarence_: gcc will do that. | 08:52 |
| Jordan_U | clarence_: You don't design anything with gcc, it's just a compiler | 08:52 |
| allahmatra | byebye for now! | 08:52 |
| Flannel | well, it'll compile it anyway. | 08:52 |
| djhash | clarence_: gcc is a compiler.. you write the program using a text editor.. | 08:52 |
| zcat[1] | .. or an ide (and it will call gcc as a back end | 08:53 |
| zcat[1] | ) | 08:53 |
| djhash | clarence_: read a book on C/C++ before coming here... it doesnt look like you know what you're looking for.. | 08:53 |
| clarence_ | yes I have | 08:53 |

| wols | Garga: what is your partition layout? | 09:47 |
| Garga | gnomefreak: maybe because I'm using the livecd? | 09:48 |
| S[h]O[r]T | gnomefreak: So if I take out my current hdd with ubuntu on it, install ubuntu on a new hard drive and put the old one back in I should have any problems mounting. Like i should just be able to do mount /dev/sdb1 /secondary | 09:48 |
| gnomefreak | Garga: maybe | 09:48 |
| Garga | wols, I have 1 sata hd, and one IDE hdd. | 09:48 |
| S[h]O[r]T | I know centos uses LVM for default and in the past I've had conflicting VolGroup names and had to change them on the old drive. | 09:48 |
| Garga | I installed ubuntu on the IDE, it has 29gbs of ext3 and 1gb swap. | 09:48 |
| wols | Garga: that doesn't answer my question | 09:48 |

| koshari | S[h]O[r]T however grubs menu.1st may need some attention if its part of the nootstrap | 09:49 |
| wols | Garga: you need to install grub on the MBR of the sata one and have its files on the IDE one in /boot | 09:50 |

| kraizen | can anyone help me with optimising 3d performance? running xorg drivers. Get fps stuttering in ETQW. Runs slower than in Windows for some scenarios, others, run better | 10:02 |
| kraizen | need a couple of pointers to how to's etc | 10:02 |
| wols | kraizen: that's not a kernel issue. what videocard and driver? | 10:02 |
| kraizen | Radeon HD3650, Xorg driver | 10:03 |
| wols | kraizen: there is no "xorg driver". what driver? | 10:03 |
| Miyagi_san | whats the name of the package one need to install to fix the gcc compiler "lib dev 2 " or something? | 10:03 |
| wols | Miyagi_san: install build-essential | 10:03 |
| Miyagi_san | ta | 10:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | wols: xorg drivers as in those that actually come with xorg I'm guessing... | 10:04 |
| kraizen | guess its the proprietaty, but i had to do a lot of hacking to get correct initialisation | 10:04 |
| kraizen | yep | 10:04 |
| koshari | kraizen get an nvid or intel gpu the amd drivers are horrible. | 10:04 |
| kraizen | sort of a hybrid | 10:04 |
| wols | LSD|Ninja: still a BS answer | 10:04 |
| Mrono | is the command mount /dev/sda3 /test -o uid=gid=1000 -t vfat correct? | 10:04 |
| kraizen | true lol | 10:04 |
| wols | kraizen: last time: what driver. I want a name | 10:04 |
| kraizen | okay. | 10:04 |
| Ububegin | Lets say, i do this.. export HELLO="helloWorld" .. how do i delete the HELLO variable | 10:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | wols: meh | 10:04 |
| wols | kraizen: if I were you I'd use fglrx tho | 10:05 |
| kraizen | 8.52.3 ATI driver, from their website, which didnt work initially | 10:05 |
| kraizen | had to throw in some Xorg stuff from the synaptics packager | 10:06 |
| jin | how can I configure update-manager to never ask for my password? | 10:06 |
| wols | kraizen: we do not support that driver | 10:06 |
| unop | Ububegin, unset HELLO | 10:06 |
| wols | we support the fglrx from ubuntu, not from ati.com | 10:06 |
| unop | Ububegin, or don't export it | 10:07 |
| wols | unop: bash has unset? | 10:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | jin: you don't want to | 10:07 |
| unop | wols, yes. help unset | 10:07 |
| cabrioleur | wols, isn't the one from ubuntu the one from ati? | 10:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | cabrioleur: yeah, but it's packaged by and supported by Ubuntu | 10:07 |
| Ububegin | unop: i just closed the console.. and the variable was destroyed | 10:07 |
| unop | Ububegin, that's normal. | 10:07 |
| wols | evil. using export for setting and unset for unsetting. feels like C-shell | 10:07 |
| Rdy | when i try to boot off unbuntu it says something about GRUB Loading 1.51. and then just restarts :(? | 10:08 |
| kraizen | wierd thing was, neither driver would work with hardware rendering | 10:08 |
| wols | cabrioleur: and it doesn't break package management | 10:08 |

| kraizen | cabrioleur: wondering if there are any settings in the kernel i can optimise | 10:09 |
| kraizen | pretty new to ubuntu | 10:09 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, not really in the kernel, only xorg.conf | 10:10 |
| kraizen | okay | 10:10 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, did you check the documentation out? It has a lot of really good stuff. | 10:10 |
| Rdy | djhash: i just let ubuntu install it, does that mean i did something wrong with the partitions ? | 10:10 |
| kraizen | yeah, but because neither driver would initially enable 3d acceleration | 10:11 |
| kraizen | i had to install it in a very wierd way | 10:11 |
| cabrioleur | Rdy, not partitions probably. More grub itself. | 10:11 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, what do you mean by wierd way? | 10:11 |
| Rdy | i made an ext3 with mount / and a swap drive, but how would grub not install properly? | 10:11 |
| wols | Rdy: depends on your general partition layout (any other hdds or partitions) | 10:12 |
| Rdy | i have vista installed on another hdd | 10:12 |
| cabrioleur | Rdy, it's a wild animal ;-) Things like that happens. All you have to do is to reinstall grub using your live cd for instance. | 10:12 |
| Rdy | but im loading of the ubuntu hdd in the bios | 10:12 |
| Rdy | i have reinstalled it | 10:13 |
| Rdy | it did the same thing last time | 10:13 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: I had to install the ATI (ATI vendor) drivers, then the opensource drivers, and then I had to change a few settings. | 10:13 |
| wols | Rdy: you didn't install grub properly | 10:13 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: hold a minute, will look in my logs for exact process | 10:13 |
| Rdy | i just used the ubuntu cd, which im guessing does it itself | 10:13 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: ahh yes | 10:14 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: I had to install the two of them as about | 10:14 |
| kraizen | *above | 10:14 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, afair all you had to do is to manually remove fglrx.ko file that comes with ubuntu (sic) and make sure all dependencies are there ;-) | 10:14 |
| koshari | Rdy http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux | 10:14 |

| wols | Rdy: but it doesn't always work as intended, especially with more than one hdd | 10:14 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: and then I had to install one package from the ATI Vendor .run | 10:14 |
| Rdy | so how would i fix it ? | 10:14 |
| Fckd | hello, can anyone help me? | 10:15 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: manually | 10:15 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, yes | 10:15 |
| koshari | Rdy read the link | 10:15 |
| wols | Rdy: you reinstall grub, this time properly | 10:15 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, with sudo rm -fv :-) | 10:15 |
| wols | !grub > Rdy | 10:15 |

| kraizen | cabrioleur:hehe | 10:16 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: i will check tho | 10:16 |
| cabrioleur | ^paradox^, open the file browser and it's in the preferences. | 10:16 |
| koshari | ^paradox^ afaik thats a kde function not an efce | 10:16 |
| ogzy | or if i skip the built in alsa test at the .configure ang overrite the new alsa driver to the new kernel will it be problem? | 10:16 |
| Rdy | koshari: its on another hdd so that link doesnt really help? | 10:16 |
| ^paradox^ | oh so i can single in file browser not desktop? | 10:16 |
| cabrioleur | ^paradox^, I didn't notice. It's in the desktop setup in your settings plack | 10:17 |
| ^paradox^ | only | 10:17 |
| koshari | Rdy: it doesnt matter, the menu.12t will be on the ubuntu drive and the setup will be on the first bootable drive mbr | 10:17 |
| cabrioleur | ^paradox^, it will change both :-( | 10:17 |
| Fckd | ok then. To make a long story short... I deleted fstab. I haven't restarted my computer yet. How do I restore/recover it? | 10:17 |
| ^paradox^ | wait let me just be sure | 10:18 |
| cabrioleur | Fckd, manual labor, brother :-) | 10:18 |
| ^paradox^ | i cant open things on the desktop with a single click? | 10:18 |
| Fckd | great. How would I go about doing that? | 10:18 |
| cabrioleur | Fckd, or sudo cp /etc/mtab /etc/fstab and pastebin for check | 10:18 |
| Fckd | i'll try that, thanks | 10:19 |
| Rdy | koshari: if i do that will it then overwrite my windows boot record? | 10:19 |
| koshari | Rdy pastebin theoutput of sudo fdisk -l | 10:19 |
| unop | Fckd, cabrioleur, heh .. backup /etc/fstab first | 10:19 |
| ^paradox^ | its not the end of the world but i need to know | 10:19 |
| koshari | Rdy: thats the whole idea, grub becomes the mbr | 10:19 |
| cabrioleur | unop, the fstab is gone in his case ;-) | 10:19 |
| Rdy | im in windows atm | 10:19 |
| Rdy | i want to dual boot | 10:19 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> sudo bash ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg | 10:19 |
| Rdy | so i have the choice when it starts up | 10:19 |
| unop | cabrioleur, ahh, ignore me then | 10:20 |
| koshari | Rdy: you use grub to boot into windows as well | 10:20 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> then i exec'd the kernel package | 10:20 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> cabrioleur> not any others | 10:20 |
| ogzy | or in general i have a front mic problem, i am able to record when i plug a mic ro the laptop but the front mix is not working, any idea for ALC269? | 10:20 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> looked like the original driver from ATI didnt properly install one of them | 10:21 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> had to do it manually | 10:21 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, probably because the .ko file that I always remove manually :-) | 10:21 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, it will not overwrite this one | 10:21 |
| Fckd | thanks guys, that SEEMS to have worked : ) | 10:21 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> sounds about right. | 10:22 |
| Rdy | koshari: so if i do wat it says when grub boots up it will ask me if i want to load windows or linux ? | 10:22 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> :) | 10:22 |
| cabrioleur | Fckd, no problemo buddy | 10:22 |
| Fckd | cp mtab -> fstab | 10:22 |
| koshari | Rdy: *tick* you will get a menu | 10:22 |
| wols | Fckd: eeeek! | 10:22 |
| Fckd | ? | 10:22 |
| wols | Fckd: you can't copy mtab to your fstab | 10:22 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> I suppose i could do a bit of aticonf work with the card | 10:22 |
| cabrioleur | wols, shure you can | 10:23 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> going to get dinner now tho | 10:23 |
| koshari | Rdy and you can change the default OS and the timeout in seconds ect ect | 10:23 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> will let u know how it goes | 10:23 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, ati recently plays nice, but ubuntu is way off standards :-D | 10:23 |
| Rdy | ok thanks ill try that brb | 10:23 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur> kernel not optomised? | 10:24 |
| legend2440 | Fckd: there is probably a backup of fstab in your /etc folder named fstab~ just use that | 10:24 |
| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||
| Fckd | legend2440 > I did that, and then realized that the fstab.bak was COMPLETELY empty. So that was really bad. | 10:24 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, no, trash. Their own fglx kernel modules which is not the same as new one on ati website, but the rest of the driver is missing so it doesn't work anyway | 10:24 |
| cabrioleur | kraizen, another obstacle to overcome, because somebody tought it might be too easy | 10:25 |
| legend2440 | Fckd: no file named fstab~ with a tilde at the end? | 10:25 |

| kraizen | cabrioleur: i guess the xubuntu kernel has it within it to run games, but the drivers dont | 10:31 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: thanks for the info | 10:31 |
| kraizen | cabrioleur: bbl | 10:31 |
| spaceninja | NOooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 10:31 |
| Miyagi_san | ./configure --with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB | 10:32 |
| Miyagi_san | is that right? | 10:32 |
| forest0r | do i need to recompile the kernel for it ? | 10:32 |

| forest0r | i am using ubuntu server edition by the way | 10:33 |
| cabrioleur | exalted, did you install something recenly? | 10:34 |
| curs3d | hi | 10:35 |
| exalted | cabrioleur, regular updates. | 10:35 |
| exalted | cabrioleur, nothing fancy that could mess with login stuff, I think... | 10:35 |
| cabrioleur | forest0r, unfortunatelly, it's not BSD :-) You have to recompile the kernel. | 10:36 |
| karab44 | hi | 10:36 |
| karab44 | what is a channel for gimp | 10:36 |
| cabrioleur | !gimp | 10:36 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 10:36 |
| cabrioleur | !search gimp | 10:36 |
| ubottu | Found: scanning, gimpshop, gtk, screenshot, gimp | 10:36 |
| karab44 | theres no channel info | 10:36 |
| curs3d | I have a problem with the resolution of the window of login and the window of boot | 10:36 |
| Miyagi_san | ./configure --with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB <--does this command look correct? | 10:36 |
| cabrioleur | karab44, cheap ubottu | 10:36 |
| rdy | who was the person helping me before? | 10:37 |
| Chousuke | forest0r: yes it requires a kernel recompile | 10:37 |

| karab44 | yeah same stsuff | 10:37 |
| forest0r | ok ty | 10:37 |
| Chousuke | forest0r: Linux should use dynticks nowadays though so the frequency is not necessarily relevant (unless you don't want dynticks) | 10:37 |

| curs3d | cabrioleur: i paste only monitor section ? | 10:39 |
| exalted | cabrioleur, I could provide you a list of the things I've recently (say last week?) installed/updated, if you could just tell me where to gather history from dpkg, aptitude and synaptic... | 10:39 |
| Chousuke | forest0r: it's a kernel option | 10:40 |
| cabrioleur | curs3d, paste the whole thing, will be easier | 10:40 |
| Chousuke | forest0r: somewhere in make menuconfig | 10:40 |

| Chousuke | forest0r: or CONFIG_HZ if you use a text file config | 10:40 |

| Rdy | I installed ubuntu and then to get it to boot i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows the first part (quick start) and now i cant even boot into windows or even ubuntu? | 11:00 |
| wols | cbx333: everyone would be glad if you did your OT ranting elsewhere too | 11:00 |
| cabrioleur | unop, I'm kind of bussy right now. | 11:00 |
| cabrioleur | curs3d, I'm assembling your new xorg.conf file. | 11:00 |
| Rdy | but where it says to reboot and ubuntu should boot, it doesnt. | 11:00 |
| HNSZ | unni: How I did it the first time was get an example from the internet(print it out) of how to edit your xorg.conf file. Than I edited it and rebooted. Everytime it failed to boot the displaymanager Id check the errorlog change the xorg.conf and restarted by starting gdm(gnome displaymanager). | 11:00 |
| wols | Rdy: there are at least 3 different methods on that list. we need more info WHAT you exactly did | 11:01 |
| unop | cabrioleur, that's no excuse for being lackadaisical and unaware of the implications your suggestions have - especially with other people's setups. | 11:01 |
| Rdy | the first part of quick start | 11:01 |
| Rdy | the first example | 11:01 |
| The_Wolf | wols: now i executed a (11:48:20) wols:LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and got a new prompt without a message | 11:01 |

| cabrioleur | LSD|Ninja, no, it's xorg | 11:02 |
| HNSZ | unni: Yes thats fine. | 11:02 |

| Mynameistu1 | Fatal: Cannot open: /etc/lilo.conf | 11:02 |
| The_Wolf | wols wait i paste it another time | 11:02 |
| wols | Rdy: and what commands exactly did you type? (note you cannot just use the same commands as written there. you need to change them to your setup) | 11:03 |
| Mynameistu1 | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lilo -M /dev/sda3 | 11:03 |
| Mynameistu1 | Fatal: /dev/sda3 is not a master device with a primary parition table | 11:03 |
| LSD|Ninja | cabrioleur: gdm scales to the virtual resolution and not the actual one | 11:03 |
| wols | HymnToLife: did you chroot to your xubuntu install? | 11:03 |
| cabrioleur | unop, by picking sh interpreter for sh scripts, you are eliminating the change of misuse of code by wrontly accepting commands. | 11:03 |
| wols | HymnToLife: currently your /etc is on the live cd. that cannpot work | 11:03 |
| wols | HymnToLife: sda3 is partition not a MBR of course | 11:04 |

| Mynameistu1 | hang on, are you talking to me wois? | 11:04 |
| unop | cabrioleur, you're being silly now. not all .run files are shell scripts .. if you want to continue debating this, step into #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:04 |
| The_Wolf | wols: http://pastebin.com/m19e1c4fa i didnt got you better | 11:04 |
| cernex | GnarusLeo, odd. Even with that code, it won't work | 11:04 |
| cernex | :/ | 11:04 |
| wols | Rdy: do you have 3 harddisks in there? | 11:04 |
| Rdy | 4 | 11:04 |
| cabrioleur | unop, I told you I am bussy. | 11:04 |
| The_Wolf | dont undertsand what you mean | 11:04 |
| unop | cabrioleur, *sigh* | 11:05 |
| GnarusLeo | cernex, type again in that same shell: ./file.bin | 11:05 |
| wols | The_Wolf: I gave you the exact command to type. I can't do more than that | 11:05 |
| GnarusLeo | cernex, and paste your output | 11:05 |
| ^paradox^ | i have gnome. im fixing to get xubuntu desktop. is there any of its software i can do without? | 11:05 |

| cabrioleur | I quit. Going back to slackware. Goodbye ubuntu help chanel! | 11:05 |
| wols | The_Wolf: you can try "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose; glxinfo" | 11:06 |
| The_Wolf | its another pastebin | 11:06 |
| ^paradox^ | i mean i already have a word processor and so forth | 11:06 |
| unni | HNSZ: do i need o add 2 devices and 2 screens in xorg.conf | 11:06 |
| Rdy | wols: i have four hard drives | 11:06 |
| cernex | Oh | 11:06 |
| cernex | I had to type THAT to make it work, GnarusLeo | 11:07 |
| GnarusLeo | cernex :) | 11:07 |
| Mynameistu1 | damn it, i'll just use grub | 11:07 |
| ^paradox^ | do i need everything that comes with it or just the desktop enviroment itself? | 11:07 |
| cernex | I'm installing THIS: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter, GnarusLeo | 11:07 |

| Mynameistu1 | it stops my cd drive from working, but I will take my lappy to my LUG, and they will poke it until it works | 11:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | Mynameistu1: why in hte hell did you want to use such an antiquated pile of garbage as LILO anyway? | 11:08 |
| Mynameistu1 | because, GRUB stops my cd drive from being recognised | 11:08 |
| spacecake | Mynameistu1 I got problems with grup too 2xscsi + 1xsata drivevs :( | 11:08 |
| Mynameistu1 | spacecake: cd drive troubles? | 11:08 |

| spaceninja | I wish ubuntu would put more efforts on trying to minimize the bloat instead of bloating things up | 11:30 |

| shiloh7 | banisterfiend, your ignored for lack of an IQ | 11:30 |
| LnxGirl | but fglrxinfo still returns mesa | 11:31 |

| wols | LnxGirl: where all logs are. in /var/log | 11:31 |
| bringatowel | wols, gparted doesn't seem to like that, the resize partition is greyed out even though it is not mounted | 11:32 |

| bringatowel | wols, there is a notice about "unable to read the contents of this filesystem" even though when it is mounted it works fine | 11:33 |
| bringatowel | sumix, what vm are you using? what isn't working? | 11:33 |
| spaceninja | sure | 11:33 |
| h4x | Yeah, I've noticed Gparted often doesn't want to let you edit things even as root. What I've noticed does work is just booting the live cd and running Gparted through there. | 11:33 |
| wols | bringatowel: use the livecd and try to resize it then | 11:33 |

| sumix | bringatowel: VirtualBox, and the ethernet isn't working | 11:34 |
| LnxGirl | thats my log | 11:34 |
| wols | The_Wolf: could very well be. xgl is evil. very evil | 11:34 |
| wols | sumix: inside the VM: ifconfig -a | 11:35 |
| Venere78 | ./server irc.fastland.org:6667 | 11:35 |
| wols | sumix: and read the vbox manuaol if oyu haven't done so | 11:35 |
| wols | Venere78: don't spam like this here | 11:35 |
| sumix | wols: So its possible that Vbox is to blame, I might just go ahead and install it anyway, see what happens :] | 11:36 |
| bringatowel | sumix, do you have the virtual network adapter configured in the Vbox machine settings? | 11:36 |
| The_Wolf | wols: so i just uninstall it, then i could give you the information of glxinfo perhaps than it says why or the message why compiz doesnt start | 11:36 |
| wols | sumix: no. you asre to blame since you didn't configure vbox correctly | 11:36 |

| natalisushka | Hello people .. please I need your help. I have a laptop running ubuntu 7.10. Unfortunately, most of it's devices are ATI (which I abhor) .. I had ubuntu 8.04 before and I had some problems with USBs and VGA but sound worked (with problems also, having it mute when playing music with some player after running a flash with a sound, and vise-versa) .. Now VGA is fine in 7.10, but sound doesn't work at all! I just installed it yesterday, and no Sou | 11:39 |

| === c9s_ is now known as c9s | ||

| wols | LnxGirl: that videocard does not exist | 11:40 |
| natalisushka | wols: can't I simply install the driver that 8.04 has? | 11:40 |
| wols | "HD" radeons don't go up to 8500 and radeon 8500 has no "HD". so what is it? | 11:40 |

| wols | natalisushka: driver for what? | 11:40 |
| natalisushka | Audio! | 11:41 |
| natalisushka | wols: Audio | 11:41 |
| wols | LnxGirl: you need the "ati" driver. fglrx is the totally worng one. ubuntu shoul dhave used the ati driver on its own by default. pastebin your xorg.conf | 11:41 |
| wols | natalisushka: no | 11:41 |
| natalisushka | LnxGirl: Talking to me? | 11:41 |

| LnxGirl | ? | 11:43 |

| teprrr | wols, yes I know | 11:45 |
| bringatowel | checkers, try right-click and choose unlock, then move them | 11:45 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: can be. can be a a DSN lookup problem or can simply be latency | 11:45 |
| wols | *DNS | 11:45 |
| jrib | Homicide: well there's pysdm (for your fstab question). I don't think that there exists "*the* random freezing problem" so you probably have to be more specific there | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: how can i troubleshoot the dns? | 11:45 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: does reverse DNS work as intended? | 11:45 |

| ActionParsnip | let me check | 11:46 |
| natalisushka | wols: you didn't explain why? | 11:46 |
| wols | LnxGirl: you will need newer drivers than that come with ubuntu then. you might try envyng. also compiz will suck since you will need xserver-xgl | 11:46 |
| jrib | Homicide: have you troubleshooted the video driver? Which one are you using. Those are usually the culprits for this sort of thing | 11:47 |
| wols | natalisushka: no I didn't and I won't | 11:47 |
| bringatowel | teprrr, that seems likely, never investigated it myself since it has always started automatically for me | 11:47 |

| wols | natalisushka: the driver will be the same, just a different version. aolso the driver is part of the kernel. and urnning a kernel from 8.04 is not supported in 7.10. you will need to compile your own alsa or your own kernel | 11:52 |

| the_eraser | anyone know if there is sometihng similar sage/fx for Opera? | 11:52 |
| natalisushka | wols: .. now I can say thanks! it didn't take you an hour ;) | 11:53 |
| wols | natalisushka: I didn't explain any why either | 11:53 |
| wols | natalisushka: "why" questions are not always a good thing to ask. especially if you don't care about the technical details like you | 11:53 |
| natalisushka | wols: for me it explains why I can't install a driver exising only in 8.04 for a previous version | 11:53 |
| imastudent | ciao | 11:53 |
| infinite | hello,im having problems installing ubuntu.i keep getting this error Buffer I/0 error on device fd0, Logical block 0. Can somebody help me? | 11:54 |

| ubottu | imastudent: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 11:54 |
| wols | natalisushka: you can. the question is how you'd do it. and frm what you asked, you cannot do it unless someine does it essentially for you. which will take several hours here over irc | 11:54 |
| natalisushka | wols: your answer was sufficient for me not to search if there is a fast solution or an installation. You also can't judge if I am interested or that I care about the technical details | 11:54 |
| wols | infinite: booting frm cd or floppy? | 11:54 |
| imastudent | heelo i need speed my pc is low ... | 11:54 |
| infinite | wols: cd | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: looks like its checking the www, can you please tell me where to add my routers address as a DNS | 11:55 |
| LnxGirl | wols, it appeasr that ati does not have offical drivers for the 4xxx HD series? | 11:55 |
| wols | natalisushka: I can. I have some experience about this by now | 11:55 |
| wols | infinite: I'd check the CD if it was bruned correctly. sounds like a misburn | 11:55 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: /etc/hosts is easiest | 11:55 |
| glitsj16 | the_eraser: Opera handles rss feeds natively (if that's what you're looking for) | 11:55 |
| infinite | wols : ok i'll check it out; thqaks for the info | 11:55 |
| wols | LnxGirl: they do | 11:55 |
| Philipp_ | hi there! i was wondering if there's any SATA pci controller card that is supported by ubuntu? | 11:56 |
| LnxGirl | wols, it's not on the list for linux? http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html | 11:56 |
| wols | infinite: first menu on the cd lets you check the CD for errors. do it | 11:56 |
| the_eraser | glitsj16: hm i want like browsing i will check maybe its already there :) | 11:56 |
| LnxGirl | the Radeon only goes as far as 3xxx HD. | 11:56 |
| Homicide | hmm. weird. it should have crashed by now. | 11:56 |
| Homicide | maybe using the older kernel is doing the trick | 11:56 |
| infinite | wols: i tried it already,it gives the same error | 11:56 |
| wols | LnxGirl: use the ones for radeon 3xxx. however, with those drivers you are on your own | 11:57 |
| natalisushka | wols: I was asking for a fast solution that I may not waste time as it sounds faster for me to reinstall it ... I am sure I do'nt have the experiance you have, but I am also interested. At least as a beginner in system maintenance. | 11:57 |
| wols | infinite: very bad burn :) | 11:57 |
| infinite | wols: ok :p | 11:57 |
| wols | natalisushka: if I were you I'd use 8.04 and not 7.l10 for several reasons. support being one of them | 11:57 |
| bazhang | natalisushka, best to use 8.04.1 and work on the other problems imo | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: awesome man, i'll get back | 11:58 |
| wols | natalisushka: if 7.10 can support your card, then so can 8.04. just might need some wrangling | 11:58 |
| natalisushka | bazhang: wols: I agree, I thought my laptop would function better under 7.10 .. till now, the other problems like VGA and USBs that I had they don't exist here, but sound doesn't work at all! | 11:59 |

| wookienz | ? | 11:59 |
| LnxGirl | wols, absolutly no other alternative? :( | 11:59 |
| wols | LnxGirl: I gave you the alternatives: the ati.com driver or waiting for intrepid. your hardware didn't exist when hardy came out so it has no support for it. you have a very very new card | 12:00 |
| jrib | wols: checkout the -A option in 'man grep' | 12:00 |
| jrib | ugh | 12:00 |
| * wols does what jrib said for whatever reason :) | 12:00 | |
| jrib | wookienz: checkout the -A option in 'man grep' | 12:00 |

| MidnightDevil | :P | 12:08 |
| MidnightDevil | Just kidding, i though you guys needed a laugh. | 12:08 |
| The_Wolf | wols: perhaps you are interessted what the problem caused, the ati card was blöacklisted, i had to bturn the check off, and xgl ran because it can be emulated by cpu | 12:08 |
| MidnightDevil | Thank you Vorik | 12:09 |
| MidnightDevil | You are very kind. | 12:09 |
| wols | so it was the blacklist after all :( | 12:09 |

| wols | The_Wolf: I'm curious, does LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo work now since xgl is gone? | 12:13 |
| === MikeSeth_ is now known as MikeSeth | ||
| wols | The_Wolf: it not working kinda troubles me a lot. it's a very impportant troubleshoot mechanism for 3D probolems | 12:13 |
| The_Wolf | wols: direct renderingis yes, i think because the ati card was blacklisted, compiz' only possibility was to use the cpu with xgl, since aqiglx needs a gpu | 12:15 |
| The_Wolf | i installed it and got a lagging desktop | 12:15 |
| spacecake | I think I solved the issue with booting scsi sata, it seems that during installation wrong UUIDS where writen in grub menu.lst, updating uuids and grub I think will do the trick now | 12:15 |

| maxagaz | I can't read anymore my partition on an external usb drive, it's unrecognized in gparted, how can i save the datas inside ? | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | spacecake: make sure the drives are on seperate controllers | 12:35 |
| unop | spacecake, throw more CPU and RAM at the problem :) | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: do you see it in sudo fdisk -l | 12:35 |
| unop | spacecake, and perhaps a better harddrive too | 12:36 |
| spacecake | unop you most be in relationship with intel .. | 12:36 |
| wols | spacecake: probably not possible. cp basically uses the maxspeed of the hdd | 12:36 |
| wols | if you have many many small files to copy, tarring them first can help | 12:36 |
| spacecake | got a mix of large files and small ones | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | spacecake: if you use 2 controllers, data can flow down one and up another | 12:36 |

| ngirard | Hi all, on Ubuntu 8.04 one of my partitions was crypted using cryptoloop. Problem is, at boot time, dm_crypt is loaded instead of cryptoloop. How can I prevent this ? | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | boulbul, well.. from what i know about grub.. every entry you got seems to be missing some lines.. lets track down some example grub entrys to compare | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | boulbul, in fact.. i would say your grub menu.lst is very messed up. check the examples at --> http://boff.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/editing-bootgrubmenulst-to-change-the-grub-boot-menu/ | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | boulbul, you dont have a single 'boot' line.. which is what actually boots the kernel.. so grub reads your menu.lst and just dosent do anything from what i can tell | 13:23 |
| boulbul | dr_willis: thanks man...I actualy took that example from a ubuntu tutorial on their website | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | boulbul, i think you may of missread the tutorial. or it was showing some specific lines.. | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | it pays to go to the grub homepage and read the grub manual some day. :) its an amazing tool | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | or the tutorial guy misspasted his examples. :) | 13:25 |
| Segellion | Anyone know how to save WPA keys so the network manager won't forget them? | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | boulbul, could be the one example sets root(hd0,0) so you dont need the hd(0,0) at the start of each kernel/initrd line also. | 13:26 |
| reezya | does anyone know how i can stop my printer status in CUPS from going back to stopped after every time i print | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | boulbul, looks like that page i posted has some errors also. in how some of the lines wrap and make a option appear as its on its own line. | 13:27 |

| The_Soup | hi, I have this weird problem, ubuntu hardy 8.04 amd64, since a few days ago, at least a week or so, my sistem stop the recognition of some files, like .mp3 or .jpg .png .mpg... Nautilus doesnt knows how to handle them. or something, it happens to my ntfs windows shared folders but also to new native folder with this files, http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazoqr8.png thats a screenshot showing a folder full of .jpg and png, the wallpaper | 15:53 |
| bobertdos | mysterycool: I was under the impression Cairo could run with fake transparency. That's what it said, so maybe you have to set that somewhere. | 15:53 |
| The_Soup | i didnt want to be repetitive | 15:53 |
| mysterycool | bobertdos: look, it works fine. the transperacy is fine. but in all the deck themes i try, there is a black thingy around them! :S | 15:54 |

| Rdy | if i type the sudo apt-get command it says the latest version is installed | 15:55 |

| swilky | there is a way to run a script in the back groud than using a third party package | 16:26 |
| quaal | erUSUL, ok here's what happened. I had my usb drive connected to my laptop which was partitioned in ext3 with data on it. i mistakenly chose this drive to install windows on, windows made a 20gb partition on it. (drive is 200gb). testdisk is only showing me the partition windows created. do i need to make it ext3 again to attempt to see the data? | 16:26 |
| swilky | something like spid ./SMS_backend /dev/null 2>&1 & | 16:26 |
| Gnea | swilky: so tell us what it is | 16:27 |
| swilky | i am asking someone to correct my command | 16:27 |
| swilky | as its not working | 16:27 |
| Gnea | oh, you said "there is", not "is there" | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | quaal: testdisk is for recovering partitions "photorec" is the tool that can recover data | 16:27 |
| quaal | erUSUL, k thanks | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | quaal: check its website for usage info | 16:27 |
| swilky | no there is | 16:28 |
| swilky | a script something like (quoted script) | 16:28 |
| Gnea | swilky: oic... you're forgetting to output | 16:28 |
| Gnea | spid ./SMS_backend > /dev/null 2>&1 & | 16:29 |
| erUSUL | quaal: but if you installed windows on the partition you will find a lot of windows files ... | 16:29 |
| barbarella | Bodsda:are you using the cd to reinstall grub? | 16:29 |

| alaina | I assume router. I'm in an apartment complex | 16:35 |

| draginxx | Gnea, yeah thats what people say, but that isnt the case with me :( | 16:35 |

| bfrederi | hey, I noticed someone mention pulseaudio earlier. It makes my system and probably everyone elses horribly unstable and crash a lot, what is the deal with that? I did a fix for flash, and now anytime there is a problem with flash it kills my browser. Does anyone find that this version of Ubuntu, the one that is going to be supported the most and such, is the most unstable release I've experienced since I've started using Ubuntu? | 16:39 |
| schmidtm | there is something like up ober usb on sf.net | 16:39 |

| Pavlz | i got a nokia 770 and it works fine with ubuntu and mac os x | 16:39 |
| Pavlz | via usb | 16:39 |
| mEDEc | in any case, i think it's because the AP for some reason does not accept your DHCP request | 16:39 |
| Pavlz | and this could not to be a problem | 16:39 |
| compengi | Pavlz, mobile isn't a computer ;) | 16:39 |
| bfrederi | I meant to say that it's ironic this release is the most unstable I've experienced yet. | 16:40 |
| Pavlz | because nokia 770 is a debian | 16:40 |
| draginxx | Gnea, it has worked on a window computer, and its optical so yes :) | 16:40 |
| infinite | hello everybody, im installing ubuntu.Should i make a swap partition? Should location be beginning or end?Which mount point should i use? Thanks in advance | 16:40 |
| mEDEc | try using a later version of wicd. or reinstall gnome-network-manager and try with that. | 16:40 |
| alaina | is there any possibility that DHCP got disabled on my machine? And if so, is there a way to reenable it? | 16:40 |
| Pavlz | i got 3 chats | 16:40 |
| glitsj16 | bfrederi: have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712 for instructions on how to get pulseaudio working nicely with flash yet ? | 16:40 |
| alaina | I have no connection that I can access to reinstall/download packages via synaptic etc | 16:40 |
| Gnea | draginxx: and do you get any messages in syslog when you plug it in? | 16:40 |
| Pavlz | i got 3/4 nicks with four chats | 16:41 |
| compengi | Pavlz, mobile phones are made to connect through USB because no other way to connect them directly to computer. debian is only an operating system. doesn't tell anything about it's ability using us | 16:41 |

| mEDEc | you're connected now, no? | 16:41 |

| Gnea | compengi: uh, most phones can connect via bluetooth these days as well. | 16:41 |
| alaina | I am connected with another's computer atm | 16:41 |
| bastid_raZor | infinite; yes use a swap. make the size 1GB or 2GB, put it at the end of the drive and mount point is /swap | 16:41 |
| draginxx | Gnea, howmay I view this? | 16:42 |
| mEDEc | and google the dhcp problem. as i said, i had a similar problem to yours, but it just went away, perhaps after a reinstall or after an update | 16:42 |
| Gnea | draginxx: open a terminal and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog while you're doing that, unplug/plug the mouse in and wait a few seconds | 16:42 |

Any thoughts? | 17:17 |
| shg_sa1 | acemo : thnkx | 17:17 |
| sipior | Captain_Redbeard: you might try specifying the SHELL and PATH variables in the crontab. also, set MAIL to your address, you might get some more information for debugging purposes. | 17:18 |
| anshar | LtJax: add it to fstab? | 17:18 |
| Aquahallic | trying to get hdparm working on my dell inspirion and get "Inappropriate ioctl for device" errors | 17:18 |

| LtJax | got any pointers? | 17:18 |
| anshar | LtJax: dnno, looks the same old file to me :p | 17:18 |
| bastid_raZor | LtJax; use the UUID? | 17:18 |
| sipior | Captain_Redbeard: that long stretch is all one line, right? your editor didn't sneak a newline in anywhere? | 17:19 |
| LtJax | what's the UUID? | 17:19 |
| Captain_Redbeard | sipior: that doesn't seem to be the issue... I've been through that as well :) | 17:19 |

| bastid_raZor | LtJax; sudo blkid will tell you all of them. | 17:19 |

| acemo | Threethan: all routers should work on both windows and linux, there webbased configuration and use tcp/ip wich windows, mac and linux all support | 17:20 |
| Threethan | Anshar: Then the drivers. | 17:20 |
| anshar | Threethan: there are no drivers for a normal router | 17:20 |
| compengi | Threethan, routers are stand alone systems. you connect to them only through network | 17:20 |
| Threethan | My motorla router just doesn't work. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm stumped. | 17:20 |
| Captain_Redbeard | dres: gimme a sec and I'll check it out | 17:21 |
| LtJax | bastid_raZor: ah thx - how can I change the label? doesn't seem to be in fstab | 17:21 |
| anshar | Threethan: define "not work"? | 17:21 |
| sipior | Captain_Redbeard: actually, MAILTO was the variable i was thinking of. if you set that, do you get any errors mailed to you? | 17:21 |
| acemo | Threethan: you dont install the drivers for a router but drivers for a lan/wlan card. | 17:21 |
| anshar | Threethan: do you get an IP? | 17:21 |
| Threethan | Err.. it doesn't work for ubuntu. It works for windows. | 17:21 |
| Threethan | Anshar: Nope. Just the looparound IP. | 17:21 |
| bastid_raZor | LtJax; you can get it to mount in the fstab with the UUID and tell it a mount point. | 17:21 |
| compengi | Threethan, could be network problems? | 17:21 |
| anshar | Threethan: possibly the network card is not supported? | 17:21 |
| anshar | Threethan: though i would seriously doubt that | 17:21 |
| anshar | come on guys, need some help on my mouse :( | 17:22 |
| Captain_Redbeard | dres: why would i like to pipe /dev/null in to the cron.php file? | 17:22 |
| Threethan | How could it be network problems when it works with my windows, but not my unbuntu - dual booting. | 17:22 |
| anshar | can't use my ubuntu :( | 17:22 |
| genius | I can't understand how to install WiFi card that "works out of the box". Atheros chipset | 17:22 |

| noriyuki | where can i find avant navigator br? | 17:23 |
| Captain_Redbeard | dres: it still works | 17:23 |
| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; you need to add repos for that. one sec and i'll give you the repo's you need to add | 17:23 |
| sipior | Captain_Redbeard: does anything get put on std error by any of these commands? can you try redirecting that to /dev/null? | 17:23 |
| noriyuki | where can I find awn-window-navigator-bzr package | 17:23 |
| compengi | anshar, welcome to hands free world with ubuntu :P | 17:23 |
| Threethan | Amenado - No, I'm on windows. I'm working right now, and trying to get information that I can use on my ubuntu after I get done working. | 17:23 |

| jkwood | Hi, I have an Ubuntu 7.04 server box sitting here which is starting to give me a headache. I can connect to it through either ssh or http using an external address, but I can't access it internally by IP. I've got reports that it works for a while after a reboot, then stops working after multiple users connect and disconnect, though I haven't confirmed that. | 17:24 |
| Captain_Redbeard | sipior: nope, no stderr at all | 17:24 |
| anshar | compengi: i can't work _at all_ | 17:24 |
| jkwood | Any ideas? | 17:24 |
| shg_sa1 | hey my CMOS battery gets 5.30 hrs back when set to correct time on ubuntu but previiously it was perfect with M XP I live in india | 17:24 |
| compengi | Threethan, why not on ubuntu? | 17:24 |
| dres | Captain_Redbeard: then like others suggested you need more debug info. I'd move the command to a script to run from cron. add set -x in the script and see what the output is. | 17:24 |
| Captain_Redbeard | sipior: what happens is that, when put in to crontab, it just doesn't seem to get past the pasting of the date | 17:24 |
| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main and you'll need deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main :: add both of those to your sources.list and you'll be able to snag it. | 17:24 |
| Captain_Redbeard | dres: gimme a sec and I'll try it then :P | 17:24 |
| anshar | bout 1-2 minutes after i boot, my mouse stops functioning correctly. I can still move it on the screen, but mouse clicks don't seem to register (tried two mice, they both work great in windows - dual boot - and have both worked in ubuntu for a looong time) | 17:24 |
| Threethan | Compengi - No internetconnection. Hard to work on the internet, when there's no connection. | 17:24 |
| sipior | Captain_Redbeard: try setting MAILTO and see what shows up | 17:25 |
| anshar | Threethan: my guess is you rnetwork card is not properly installed | 17:25 |
| anshar | Threethan: possibly because it is not supported | 17:25 |
| amenado | Threethan-> info you need to gather in windows and compare when in ubuntu, cat /etc/resolv.conf; route -ran; ipconfig | 17:25 |
| infinite | hello, want a joint storage partition,both accessable by windows and ubuntu,but which file system should i use? | 17:25 |
| bastid_raZor | infinite; fat32 or ntfs .. | 17:25 |
| jkwood | infinite: I suggest FAT32 for best compatibility. | 17:25 |
| anshar | infinite: fat32 is the obvious bet | 17:25 |
| anshar | infinite: but you can try ntfs | 17:26 |
| amenado | Threethan-> umm the resolv.conf is harder to find in windows..so you can skip that | 17:26 |
| albech | anyone else experience pidgin crashes? | 17:26 |
| infinite | cant choose ntfs, i'll take fat32.Thanks everybody | 17:26 |

| SebNaitsabes | chuy_max: are you on the Live CD? | 17:44 |
| chuy_max | SebNaitsabes, right | 17:44 |
| arvind_khadri | shg_sa1, set your time now and make it synchronize with the server once | 17:44 |
| chuy_max | SebNaitsabes, no, I have alternate | 17:44 |
| racle | compengi, command wont work | 17:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | chuy_max: the installer can re size your Windows NTFS partition, however it's easier to do it your self . well at least on the graphical Live CD with Gparted anyway | 17:45 |
| Tjibba | hi | 17:45 |
| chuy_max | SebNaitsabes, mmmm, okey, I will need ntfstools anyway | 17:45 |
| dashavoo | shg_sa1, do you dual boot with windows, or do you only use ubuntu? | 17:45 |
| Tjibba | if got troubles with my atheros wireless | 17:45 |
| Tjibba | it doesnt work anymore | 17:45 |
| shg_sa1 | ONLY UBUNTU | 17:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | chuy_max: what I tend to do if installing Ubuntu psyically is do my partitions with gnome partition editor myself and then yeah you tell the installer to install in the partition you just made | 17:45 |
| compengi | racle, did you give the path after grep? | 17:45 |
| amanulla | where can i find softcopy of all softwares installed in my ubuntu 8 | 17:46 |
| racle | i put path now, but it wont move | 17:46 |
| bakarat_ | sipior, hmm, i wouldn't call it a success, i can interact with the menu bars, but not with the desktop (in the live cd) | 17:46 |
| orfeas | Hi everybody | 17:46 |

| racle | only way to get terminal move is ctrl+c | 17:46 |
| MIKOSHARP | i need some help getting my wifi drivers to install in ubuntu | 17:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | chuy_max: resizing partitions using the Live CD be that gparted or the installer has not done damage to Windows for me all those times, but there is a slight chance something could go wrong, so if you got any important data in Windows you should probably back that up first just to be sure | 17:46 |
| sipior | bakarat_: that's...bizarre. | 17:46 |
| chuy_max | SebNaitsabes, I will do that too, the problem is that I don't have the PC, a friend of mine is installing it, and he has only the alternate CD and not an expert on computers | 17:46 |
| Tjibba | sorry | 17:46 |
| bakarat_ | sipior, tell me about it... | 17:47 |
| MIKOSHARP | i have a hp dv2000 | 17:47 |

| Hovefirse | Hiya folks. Simple question: I patched a driver file under /usr/src/linux/..., did a make in /usr/src/linux and waited an eternity. Now I guess I have to do some more in order to use the new driver. A "make install" returns a lot of text...:In order to use the new kernel image you have just installed, youwill need to reboot the machine. First, however, you will need to either make a... | 17:49 |
| Hovefirse | ...bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB installed." ...and some more. I decided to check for some advice here before I resume my adventures. Any comments, tips or cheers from the good people here? | 17:49 |
| morningwalker | PLEASE????!?? | 17:49 |
| Tjibba | now it doesnt work anymore | 17:49 |
| spree | morningwalker i don't mean to sound like one of the cop-outs that everyone hates but why don't you get a better gpu | 17:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | chuy_max: I don't know if you know this already, but your friend could run Winblows and Ubuntu at the same time | 17:49 |
| mrkiko | can someone tell me why kernels shipped with ubuntu are mapping even old old ide-disk as SCSI/SATA ones? I looked at the ocnfig-version with no results. Are there some patches applied? | 17:50 |

| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; is that a folder on the drive? i'm unsure what you are trying to say exactly. | 17:52 |
| sipior | bakarat_: i'm baffled as to why you should be able to use one and not the other. you mentioned that it worked fine before, so it seems to me that the live cd should've been fine. might try plugging the thing into a different port, though it's not clear why it would then work under windows. unfortunately, i'm off for home, so i'll wish you luck getting it sorted out. | 17:52 |

| nebux | nope a coreduo 1600 | 17:55 |
| noriyuki | bastid_raZor, okay, I am using Dual OS windows - ubuntu... from ubuntu, I can see that windows partition drive and get into it. You know that everything in windows (all users folders) are stored in "Documents and Settings" folder .... when I try to open it it is all empty. how ever if I log on in windows the files in that folder are in there.... why I cant see them when I am on linux? | 17:55 |

| arvind_khadri | amanulla, sudo apt-get install aptoncd | 17:56 |
| spree | nebux: Looks like you need to set your sound preferences from autodetect to ALSA or PulseAudio solves the problem. Read the link I sent you there are instructions. | 17:56 |
| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; what does ls -al /path/to/Documents\ and\ Settings/ give you in cli? | 17:57 |

| spree | nebux if it's not solved immediately, make sure you have saved your preferences, log out and reboot. It's an easy way to make sure there's not some program hogging your sound card resources and ensures the setting is saved. | 17:58 |

| furenku | hey!! I'm wondering whether a Firewire ExpressCard will work in Ubuntu? | 18:02 |

| m0u5e | everytime i access my applications/places/system tab, my dvd drive spins up... is there a way to disable this? It's kind of annoying and I would imagine that theres a large battery hit if I am someone who accesses Places a lot | 18:04 |
| amanulla | can any one provide me a link to get softwares downloaded | 18:04 |
| spree | so change it all to ALSA if you're having problems playing two sound sources at once as a good place to start | 18:04 |
| amanulla | ? | 18:04 |
| draginxx | Gnea, you still there? | 18:04 |

| tretle | I saw some discussion on it on ubuntu forums and it had instructions but they were made for 7.04 and Im using 8.10, my brother in law also tried it on 8.04 with easycam and got a distroted image | 18:07 |
| spree | grandpa 64 bit is for 64 bit processors, which are in many ways faster than 32 bit processors. | 18:07 |
| noriyuki | any clue | 18:07 |
| baastrup | hey there | 18:07 |
| cilkay | grandpa: 64 bit only runs on AMD64 and Intel 64 bit processors, such as the Core 2. | 18:07 |
| LiH2 | hi all what dos this mean Edit /etc/modules and add "nvidia" to the list have can I do that ? | 18:07 |
| grandpa | spree: thanx. This I know. But what is with the usal programs? Any differences? | 18:07 |
| spree | grandpa 32 bit and 64 bit compiled binaries will not run on eachother's processors | 18:07 |

| spree | grandpa no difference really, in Linux anyway. | 18:08 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | help with firestarter | 18:08 |
| frith | spree, you can run 32bit apps on 64bit | 18:08 |
| frith | just install the 32bit libs | 18:08 |
| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; it is rather odd why that folder only would not work. | 18:08 |
| XYZ-Saft | Anyone knows how to edit "Places" in menu? pictures, videos... if i want to add or remove things? | 18:08 |
| spree | grandpa the problem is when you get into closed-source software like Windows, because 3rd party software companies will usually only release 32 bit versions of their software | 18:08 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | please see this problem and help me if you can http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910281 | 18:08 |

| noriyuki | bastid_raZor, what would be the problem | 18:10 |
| noriyuki | ? | 18:10 |
| spree | frith he was asking what the difference between 64 and 32 bit applications is. | 18:10 |
| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; file permissions the only thing that comes to mind. | 18:10 |
| baastrup | darrend: its a home burned one | 18:10 |
| Ahmed-Alaa | any body help me please withe firestarter it never work for my ?? | 18:10 |
| darrend | baastrup: that doesn't in any way answer the question | 18:10 |
| cilkay | Is there a better option than kickstart for doing mass deployments? Ideally, I want to do a netboot, present a menu where one of the choices is "Install" and if that is selected, require a password before it starts installing. | 18:11 |
| darrend | baastrup: is the CD re-writable? | 18:11 |
| baastrup | darrend: no | 18:11 |
| firelog | hello. I need to transfer a folder and all files (and all subfolder--- everything under one folder, basically) from my ubuntu box to my windows client. I tried smbclient ... but that doesn't seem to allow me to transfer folders? (I tried mput ). Is there a better way, or am I mistaken in assuming that smbclient doesn't allow complete folder transfers? | 18:12 |
| spree | grandpa: okay, you should have few if any problems, except for with Flash video. Adobe still has not released a 64 bit native Flash plugin, and there have been some spotty compatibility issues. There's 3 open source alternatives that work pretty well but I'm not going to lie to you there have been some crashes on me, generating big empty white spaces where flash content should be. | 18:12 |
| yazid | ... | 18:12 |
| darrend | baastrup: then you can either go buy one and burn a hardy image, or install dapper and go through the torture of upgrading to edgy, then to feisty, then to gutsy, then to hardy. I know what I'd do. | 18:12 |
| cilkay | firelog: WinSCP | 18:12 |
| spree | grandpa aside from that I'm happy with my 64 bit setup | 18:12 |
| noriyuki | bastid_raZor, how do I change it? | 18:12 |
| td123 | firelog: you could also transfer everything to a fat formatted usb stick :P if you have one | 18:12 |

| grandpa | spree: thanx a lot. so, I am looking often flash stuff in internet. therefore 64-bit would be problem. can I use 32-bit Hardy on my 64-Bit equipment? | 18:13 |
| firelog | cilkay, let me go for that option...thank you for the suggestion. | 18:13 |
| cilkay | firelog: And if you're running KDE or have Konqueror installed in Gnome, you could do smb://yourWindowMachineName in Konqueror | 18:13 |
| bastid_raZor | noriyuki; i don't even know if fat32 has file permissions. if so you could use sudo chmod +rwx path/to/directory/ | 18:13 |
| td123 | firelog, then do use winscp if you're on windows or just plain old scp if on *nix | 18:13 |
| baastrup | darrend: oki my question is, when i boot from an old live cd, is there a change that i can use it to get net access and install a newer version without having to install and old version and do a upgrade | 18:13 |
| ScheissDrogen | Nutzebahn ? | 18:14 |
| baastrup | darrend: sorry my english is not that good | 18:14 |
| Aethelred | grandpa: you can most likely install a 32-bit OS on your 64-bit system. | 18:14 |
| ScheissDrogen | baastrup: which country ? | 18:15 |
| Aethelred | I am also running 64-bit Ubuntu, and have also had occasional problems. | 18:15 |

| IdleOne | baastrup: I do not believe you can do that. the install copies files from the cd and uses them to install the system. to do what you are saying you would need to remaster the cd and add the updated packages but that would take alot longer then just installing and upgrading | 18:15 |

| cilkay | firelog: In Konq, you can split the file explorer left and right. Left, I make local. Right, I use for the remote machine, be it Linux or Windows. In the right, smb://yourWindowsMachine and then it's just drag/drop back and forth. WinSCP works pretty much the same way except it's from the Windows POV. | 18:15 |

| gnorbert | From console, but I don't now, what's the command for that... | 19:17 |

I got rid of all the backups on the backup drive, but now I want to install Ubuntu to that drive/partition. | 19:30 |

| Gnea | Fused: right, so try this: sudo aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 19:30 |

| cilkay | will02: If you have to ask... :) Seriously, you don't want autoupdates on server that isn't in front of you. Test locally first then use aptitude or plain old apt in a shell in the remote server. If you want to apply it to a bunch of servers at the same time, there are various ways of doing it. cfengine is one way. | 19:35 |

| cilkay | will02: You're asking for trouble doing that on a remote machine but if you must, just set up a cron job to do it. You can pass "y" to apt-get update. | 19:42 |
| will02 | cilkay, why am i asking for trouble? | 19:42 |

| cilkay | will02: Same here, for the most part. That doesn't mean the potential for breakage doesn't exist. One strategy we use to minimize that risk is that we virtualize every server. The host runs a very minimal installation with the only network-related daemon being sshd. We then use Xen or OpenVZ to create virtual machines into which we install whatever, web server, db server, etc. | 19:53 |

| duncan-nz | deepfriedsquirre, compengi: on Ubuntu 8.04 in english: 'System > Administration > Language Support' | 20:06 |
| Fused | If you're asing about the "for" command that I posted, Gnea gave that to me to remove something. | 20:06 |
| Gnea | dooglus: it was part of a command that we used to help fix the problem. | 20:06 |
| Fused | Not really sure what it does, to be honest. I'm not that experienced on linux systems. | 20:06 |
| Flannel | SurfnKid: Dapper has 1.0.10, and medibuntu has Skype for dapper | 20:06 |
| dooglus | Fused: the part I quoted looks a bit gay - it's not needed | 20:06 |
| Cisco | hi, somebody uses ubuntu with macbook santa_rosa??? | 20:06 |
| Gnea | dooglus: no, it's needed. what's not needed is your use of that word. | 20:07 |
| SurfnKid | Flannel: um.. medibuntu? so shouldi install medibuntu? | 20:07 |
| duncan-nz | dooglus, did you use that word again? Fused, would you hit him please? | 20:07 |
| banisterfiend | hey im running linux and about every 30 mins my comp goes really slow, i type 'top' and it appears 'python' is taking up 80% of my cpu, anyone got any ideas which program is likely doing that, something to do with firefox? | 20:07 |
| dooglus | Gnea: it's ok. some of my best friends are backquoted | 20:07 |
| Flannel | SurfnKid: you don't have to install medibuntu, you just have to download the skype package from there. | 20:07 |
| SurfnKid | Flannel: and not install skype from the website? | 20:07 |
| Fused | Give me a nine tails whip, and chain him to the wall. | 20:07 |
| Fused | We'll take turns. | 20:07 |
| deepfriedsquirre | duncan-nz: thanks | 20:07 |
| SurfnKid | Flannel: ah ok | 20:07 |
| Flannel | SurfnKid: Because the website (obviously) isn't meant for dapper | 20:07 |
| duncan-nz | deepfriedsquirre, is something working? | 20:08 |
| Gnea | dooglus: so are mine. the problem is that the word has been given 3 different definitions within the past 4 decades. please, stick with one definition already! | 20:08 |
| ehtom | I can't get the NVIDIA kernel install .run file to work properly | 20:08 |
| SurfnKid | Flannel: yep thats right, how would i go about downloading from medibuntu? | 20:08 |

| SurfnKid | if there is something to read about it | 20:08 |

| duncan-nz | deepfriedsquirre, once you got the languages you want ticked (selected) in there you should update the system. Then when you login you can choose from the available languages. You can even make shortcuts to run specific programs in specific languages. | 20:08 |

| ScheissDrogen | ehtom:installed build- essential and checkinstall ? | 20:09 |
| Flannel | SurfnKid: Well, assuming you're not adding the repos, you just need to download the package: http://packages.medibuntu.org/dapper/skype.html click the "i386" at the bottom ofthatpage, and you should be able to download the deb. then just double click on it, ... hmmm, gdebi might be installed by default on dapper.

| Fused | Actually, I had to CTRL+D and reboot before it would come back up.. | 20:09 |
| Gnea | dooglus, banisterfiend: pstree does that too | 20:10 |
| ehtom | ScheissDrogen: I dont have checkinstall | 20:10 |
| SurfnKid | Flannel: yes it is, from skype.com gdebi picked up the .deb | 20:10 |
| Fused | It was forcefully making me either go into maintenance, and reboot.. | 20:10 |
| ehtom | ScheissDrogen: but that isn't required to build | 20:10 |
| compengi | ehtom, when you've downloaded this nvidia driver, there was a guide provided by nvidia on how to, if you followed it correctly and the setup instructions during your driver install, everything should work fine | 20:10 |
| SurfnKid | Flannel: thanks let me install that | 20:10 |
| Fused | So I just rebooted and skipped the disk checking the second time around, so I could get back in and see what to do. | 20:10 |

| ehtom | compengi: it looks like an ubuntu problem, but I will read over nvidia's document just to make sure | 20:11 |
| Gnea | dooglus: ah, good point. | 20:11 |
| dooglus | impulsebsd: look into 'screen' - that's useful for that kind of thing. or 'dtach' | 20:11 |
| * SurfnKid is downloading skype from medibuntu | 20:11 | |
| Fused | The boot image came back, the docs are back to xubuntu (instead of kubuntu), and I haven't checked to see if the Sessions changed. | 20:11 |
| impulsebsd | screeen!~! thats it, thx :P | 20:11 |
| ScheissDrogen | ehtom:put the driver to /usr/src , backup xorg.conf , then : sudo sh blabla.run | 20:11 |
| Fused | I was too worried about the routine checking erroring. | 20:11 |
| dooglus | impulsebsd: if you only want a single command, dtach is a good lightweight way to do it | 20:12 |
| compengi | ehtom, it shouldn't be ubuntu's because you are editing the kernel and the nvidia driver already changed stuff in the kernel | 20:12 |
| Gnea | dooglus: btw, the j=`echo $i`; is necessary because each result needs to be handled separately, otherwise the data from each result rolls over into the next result, screwing the end result up. | 20:12 |
| === trucMuche is now known as Guest94379 | ||
| banisterfiend | thanks guys | 20:12 |
| impulsebsd | i'll look into dtach, thanks! | 20:12 |
| ehtom | compengi: i'm not editing the kernel at all | 20:12 |
| dooglus | Gnea: j=`echo $i` is the same as j=i unless $i contains whitespace (which it doesn't) | 20:13 |
| compengi | ehtom, nvidia driver is :) | 20:13 |
| dooglus | Gnea: as j=$i I mean, sorry | 20:13 |
| ScheissDrogen | ehtom : which card ? hardy ? 32 or 64 bit ? | 20:13 |
| ehtom | compengi: the nvidia driver is a kernel module, the act of installing it does nothing whatsoever to the running kernel | 20:13 |
| dooglus | Gnea: uh - ok, I'm wrong :) | 20:13 |
| rodiel | hi | 20:14 |
| ehtom | ScheissDrogen: 8800GT, hardy x64, NVIDIA 169.09 driver on ubuntu's xen kernel | 20:14 |
| Gnea | dooglus: no it's not, because j=$i is just shifting the data from one variable to another without change - j=`echo $i` is taking the actual output of the i variable and placing it into j, modified :) | 20:14 |
| rodiel | how can i install aceracpi and what it is anyway? | 20:14 |
| compengi | ehtom, btw after installing this driver you need to be aware that every ubuntu kernel update you need to rebuild your drivers and after installing the kernel | 20:14 |
| ehtom | yeah I know | 20:14 |
| dooglus | Gnea: try it. I can't find any example where there's a difference between $i and `echo $i` | 20:14 |
| ehtom | but the restricted module's package, for some reason, doesn't include the nvidia driver for xen | 20:14 |

And it went well, however I had hard time adjusting the resolution. my laptop uses 1400x1050 resolution but the projector was 800x600. is there a way to do this without changing my screen resolution? | 20:16 |
| Fused | We've been having a lot of tornadoes this year, too. | 20:17 |
| oinck | phantomcircuit: maybe instead of dl-ing the vid you dl-ed the wrapper | 20:17 |
| Fused | I don't know what the deal is. | 20:17 |
| phantomcircuit | oinck, no it decided i was downloading to fast so it gave me a 403 page | 20:17 |
| Gnea | dooglus: well, the ` are there to denote that the command echo $x is to be run, and then the output be placed into a variable. without the `, the command won't run. | 20:17 |

| Fused | http://www.uwm.edu/~kahl/Images/Weather/Severe/multiple_tornadoes.jpg | 20:18 |

| rodiel | i installed my wireless card with ndiswrapper and lshw shows it | 20:19 |
| dooglus | i=$j means "set i to the value of the j variable", whereas i=`echo $j` means "set i to the result of echoing the value of the j variable" - ie. the same thing | 20:19 |
| Gnea | dooglus: not at all. w="echo $x"; is not the same as w=`echo $x`; | 20:19 |
| phantomcircuit | oinck, bethesda is being retarded and capping me to downloading 3 videos at a time at 300 kbps each | 20:19 |
| rodiel | but there is no wireless interface in ifconfig and no wireless network in network config | 20:19 |
| rodiel | hmm help? | 20:19 |
| phantomcircuit | it's not like sending me the videos faster is going to cost them anymore | 20:19 |
| Gnea | dooglus: and w='echo $x'; is almost like w="echo $x"; | 20:19 |
| dooglus | Gnea: no, not at all. I'm saying that x=$y is the same as x=`echo $y` | 20:19 |

| oinck | sealedwithakiss: that depends on what the newest version of firefox is in the repositories that you have chosen | 21:07 |
| dGodFatheR | now i will reverse to sent to remote | 21:07 |
| unop | Fused, you need to change your session at the login window | 21:07 |
| sealedwithakiss | oinck, right. So how could I correct this? | 21:07 |
| oinck | sealedwithakiss: what flavor of ubuntu are you using? hardy surely has ff3 in the repositories | 21:08 |
| amenado | sealedwithakiss-> try to log off and log back on | 21:08 |
| Fused | unop: I know that. However, KDE is showing up in the sessions list, and we are trying to get it out. Kubuntu-desktop has been removed from my system, but continues to show up in the sessions list. | 21:08 |
| Fused | Then it kicks Fluxbox over into KDE, instead of Fluxbox. | 21:08 |
| sealedwithakiss | oinck, I upgraded Feist to Gutsy. | 21:08 |
| lfaraone|ffm | Pirate_Hunter: disable and try it. | 21:09 |
| Gnea | unop: i don't quite understand it. maybe you can help him. | 21:09 |
| ubux | #join #ubuntu-ru | 21:09 |
| unop | Fused, kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage - removing it has little effect. fluxbox by default does not launch any session managers, are you starting something with fluxbox? | 21:09 |
| Fused | No. | 21:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lfaraone|ffm: nah all ports are closed just need to open port 80 but i dont want unnessary stuff connecting to it from the comp | 21:09 |
| Fused | What I'm trying to say is that I removed kubuntu-desktop from my system. I have a few desktop environments on here. | 21:10 |
| Fused | I have Gnome, Xfce, Fluxbox, and wsii | 21:10 |
| unop | Fused, as i said, removing kubuntu-desktop does not remove any kde packages | 21:10 |
| Fused | However, KDE keeps coming up amongst the sessions, when it has been deleted. | 21:10 |
| unop | it hasnt | 21:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | Fused: and you have KDE programs left behind? | 21:10 |
| myr | anyone know how to suppress join/part messages in xchat ? | 21:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | to connect to the internet i only need port 80 (for surfing purpose, etc)? | 21:10 |
| dGodFatheR | guntbert: well it worked the other way, meaning i can send a file to the remote, but can't copy to my pc | 21:10 |
| unop | Fused, to remove all of KDE -- see !puregnome for instructions | 21:10 |

| compengi | mamato, you are identifying to the server. what xchat-gnome has to do with this | 21:57 |

| NeB1 | barbarella: now what ? | 22:05 |
| redbox | dGodFatheR: then perhaps you're directory is just large for both cp and tar, give it some time. | 22:05 |

| barbarella | Osse:valid users = | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | lyy: there is no "best" | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | lyy: in terminal type the word top and press enter | 22:18 |

| compengi | NeB1, paste the output to barbarella in pastebin please | 22:18 |
| barbarella | NeB1:fdisk -l | 22:18 |

| ActionParsnip | lyy: in linux the is no "best" anything | 22:18 |
| lyy | is there a "most used" ? | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | lyy: they are all the most up to date | 22:19 |
| jrib | lyy: kind of depends on what you want to do. Try ps (read the man page), top, and htop; choose the one you like the best | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | lyy: depends who you ask | 22:19 |
| barbarella | Osse:valid users = user1, user2 | 22:19 |

| ActionParsnip | lyy: top will do you | 22:20 |
| lyy | thanks ActionParsnip | 22:20 |
| Flannel | k3rnelpanic: packages are downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives/ but that isn't relelvant, you shouldn't need to do any manual package...stuff. | 22:21 |
| lyy | ActionParsnip: you know a thing or two about troubleshooting ethernet interfaces? | 22:21 |

| k3rnelpanic | Flannel: yea i know but maybe thinking i can download those from somewhere else and put them there. cause the servers wont let me download them. | 22:22 |
| Flannel | k3rnelpanic: What are the errors you get? | 22:23 |
| DavidCanarias | I use firefox and Java for some chat lines. Does anyone know why some text appears in gibberish, is it a font problem?? | 22:23 |
| lyy | ActionParsnip: i got a question on how to determine if an ethernet interface was bad and causing garbage on the network? | 22:23 |
| k3rnelpanic | Flannel: i dont get errors, it hangs on those 2 packages. and downloading stops. i then cancel and it tells me they couldnt be fetched. i've left it on half the night and they didnt download. together they are like 700kb only | 22:23 |
| Flannel | k3rnelpanic: Which packages? and do you have any third party repos enabled? | 22:24 |
| k3rnelpanic | i do have 3rd party enabled, im pretty sure, i'll check | 22:24 |
| lyy | How would you determine if an ethernet interface was bad and causing garbage on the network? | 22:24 |
| k3rnelpanic | Flannel: yea under software sources i got 3rd party software both boxes checked | 22:25 |
| Flannel | k3rnelpanic: alright, it's possible that those are the causes of this issue. Uncheck them and see if that helps. | 22:26 |
| DavidCanarias | I'm having problems with gibberish text in some internet chat lines. Anybody know why? Could it be a font problem? | 22:26 |
| k3rnelpanic | Flannel: ok i'll try it now. im using the ca.ubuntu server | 22:27 |
| ray__ | how i compiled xmms in ubuntu 8.04 how i remove it i didnt install it sudo remove dont work and its 1.2 and not showing in synaptic packege maninger what i di? | 22:27 |
| ray__ | di=do | 22:27 |
| ray__ | to remove it | 22:27 |
| ray__ | looked on inter no infro | 22:28 |
| Flannel | ray__: Packages you compile and/or install manually will never show up in package management. The only way to remove it is to remove the files it installed. Do you still have the make file? | 22:28 |
| ray__ | flannel not sure | 22:28 |
| ray__ | can get it thow | 22:28 |
| Flannel | ray__: Do you still have ths source, etc? | 22:28 |
| Flannel | or did you delete it | 22:28 |
| davidstrauss | Is there a way to get old Edgy packages? | 22:29 |
| ray__ | flannle i did what web site told me them told me to remove the build folder | 22:29 |
| ray__ | flannle i foled this site http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html | 22:30 |
| ray__ | how i remove it now | 22:30 |
| meoblast001 | how do i get java to work online? | 22:31 |
| ray__ | flannel i did what told ,e on this site http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html | 22:31 |
| ehtom | how do I get the source for the *currently running* kernel? | 22:31 |
| Flannel | ray__: that... guide is wrong. And unfortunately it's wrong in the worst way possible for removing. You should be compiling things to /usr/local/ not /usr/ But, *try* downloading the source again, and *hope* the makefile has a make uninstall or make remove. | 22:31 |
| compengi | ehtom, you can get it in kernel.org website | 22:31 |
| Flannel | !kernel | ehtom | 22:32 |
| ubottu | ehtom: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 22:32 |
| meoblast001 | Applet classes/VncViewer notinited | 22:32 |
| meoblast001 | what does that mean | 22:32 |
| Flannel | ehtom: that page explains how to get the source from git | 22:32 |
| ehtom | yeah | 22:32 |
| ehtom | but the git source, iirc, is the development source | 22:32 |
| ray__ | flannel if dont then what i do | 22:32 |
| ehtom | not the currently running source? | 22:32 |
| ray__ | dont think it dose | 22:32 |
| ehtom | or am I incorrect | 22:32 |
| jrib | ehtom: that site should also tell you about 'apt-get source PACKAGE' | 22:32 |
| jrib | ehtom: actually, there are linux-source* packages too | 22:33 |
| k3rnelpanic | Flannel: hmm seems to have stopped again with 1165 of 1167 pkgs downloaded :-/ | 22:33 |
| compengi | meoblast001, you need to install java plugin for firefox | 22:33 |
| k3rnelpanic | Flannel, i can cancel and tell you what they are | 22:33 |
| meoblast001 | compengi: i did | 22:33 |
| Flannel | ray__: Run that thing again up through step 3 (so make, but *not* make install) and then look at the files in your make, and then remove each of those files from your filesystem (not the ones in your make, although you can remove those too) | 22:33 |
| compengi | meoblast001, and/ | 22:33 |
| ehtom | jrib: ok. do those sources include the ubuntu specific modifications and patches? | 22:34 |
| Flannel | ray__: Lots of manual file deletions. This is why we use package management, because it means we don't have to waste time doing this. | 22:34 |
| chino | is there a 64 bit linux ? | 22:34 |
| jrib | ehtom: yes | 22:34 |
| chino | i mean ubuntu | 22:34 |

| Firebirdy | Gimp question: 'Feather' should be in the 'Select' menu according to the official documentation... but it's not in there. Any ideas? | 22:34 |

| masnic1 | hi, cud some1 help me with gnome and clock-applet ? I get this error : The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet" | 22:34 |
| chino | meoblast001: is the fglx driver for ati only for 32 bit ? | 22:34 |
| ehtom | jrib: there is no linux-source-2.6.24-19-xen, so I have to use apt-get source :P | 22:35 |
| compengi | chino, sure. read the topic how to get it | 22:35 |
| Flannel | ray__: You'll see files in your made thing, those will correspond to paths in your actual filesystem. all "make install" does is copies them. You'll see once you're looking at it. | 22:35 |
| jrib | ehtom: fair enough | 22:35 |
| meoblast001 | chino: dont know.. but i do know that the Adobe Flash Player is 32-bit only so you would need 32-bit firefox forced if you wanted that | 22:35 |

| ray__ | flannel is there comman use to remove itd i can | 22:36 |
| Fused | Also, the links look like they're using <sub></sub> tag with every . | 22:36 |

| masnic1 | omg, it's so annoying that I don't even have a damn clock, what the hack is goin on ? | 22:36 |
| chino | well is it even possible to load a driver compiled for 32 bit linux ? | 22:36 |
| Flannel | ray__: It doesn't make its own folder, it throws stuff all over. some stuff in /usr/bin some stuff in /usr/lib some in /usr/share, etc. | 22:36 |
| compengi | Fused, could be that pidgin handels it another way | 22:36 |
| Fused | Hm.. | 22:37 |
| compengi | Fused, try asking in #pidgin | 22:37 |
| Fused | OKay. | 22:37 |
| Flannel | k3rnelpanic: sure, you could try downloading them manually. | 22:37 |
| k3rnelpanic | Flannel: when i go and try and download it from firefox, it doesnt download either with that address but says its there | 22:37 |

| ray__ | flannel just xmm2 stuff | 22:50 |
| ray__ | is xmm2 ok to have is that newer than xmms | 22:50 |
| Flannel | ray__: xmms2 is in the repositories. Use synaptic to install. | 22:50 |
| ray__ | one site needs it | 22:50 |
| chino | taishi28012: yes i'm wondering i mean they appear to just be working.... and i know someone has to write a profile to make this all work right/ then ubuntu boots and picsk a profile by detecting | 22:50 |
| ray__ | flannle is that newer than xmms2 | 22:50 |
| Durayne | My Version 8.04 my Motherboard m3a with an Atheros L1 Lan Chip, Ubuntu sometimes recognizes my network card and sometimes it doesnt | 22:50 |
| ray__ | should i get all xmm2 stuff from synaptic | 22:50 |
| ray__ | for xmm2 | 22:50 |
| compengi | ray__, xmms is not developed anymore. it's old. you can use audacious, it's like xmms and winamp | 22:51 |
| k3rnelpanic | glitsj16: well only half way | 22:51 |
| cyix | when I boot up, grub shows all the kernel's I can use, all older versions I have upgraded from. how can I clean these out? | 22:51 |
| unfo | bonez46: try channel #sane | 22:51 |

| ShinjinAkage | I need some help installing Java runtime enviroment. I downloaded and have it installed in /usr/java it's subdirectory jre1.6.0_07. Now how do I get firefox to use it? | 22:51 |
| ray__ | or use xmm2 | 22:51 |
| glitsj16 | k3rnelpanic: very weird indeed .. | 22:51 |
| k3rnelpanic | yea i know | 22:51 |
| ray__ | compengi should i get all xmm2 stuff | 22:52 |
| jrib | ShinjinAkage: what do you mean you "downloaded" it? You didn't use APT? | 22:52 |
| taishi28012 | chino: With my laptop suspend/hibernate worked out of the box. As far as multimedia keys go I'm not sure. I think you can use some programs like xev to get raw key codes and then set up your .Xmodmap file to make them do whatever you want. | 22:52 |
| Fused | They're not answering me, compengi. | 22:52 |
| compengi | ray__, as you wish. but the idea is it's already old and project is abandoned. audacious is always under developement and i *think* xmms isn't supported by hardy good | 22:52 |
| ray__ | compengi understand but im asking about xmm | 22:53 |
| ray__ | i mean not xmms | 22:53 |
| spsneo | best download accelerator for ubuntu which supports http proxy? | 22:53 |
| ray__ | compengi i mean xmm2 | 22:53 |
| ray__ | the new one | 22:53 |
| ShinjinAkage | jrib: No, I got on the java website firefox gave me when I clicked manule install and downloaded the second on off the list and followed all of their instructions but I had trouble when I got to the symbolic link one. | 22:53 |
| compengi | Fused, could be busy or something. have a seat and coffee :D | 22:53 |
| unfo | spsneo: why do you want a download accelerator?? | 22:53 |
| unfo | what are you downloading? | 22:53 |

| spsneo | unfo: for faster downloads | 22:54 |
| compengi | spsneo, wget is a nice tool in terminal ;) | 22:54 |
| ShinjinAkage | jrib: Okay | 22:54 |
| compengi | spsneo, wget -C to resume downloads | 22:54 |

| Durayne | okay just have to relog | 22:55 |

| fix_my_clock | can you help me fixing my gnome clock-applet, or cud you suggest me something similar to that ? please | 23:22 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | If I first open any Flash application with sound in Firefox, I can no longer play sound in any other application (like Totem) until I close Firefox completely (even closing the tab alone doesn't fix it). Similarly, if I first open an audio file in Totem, sound no longer works in Flash until I close Totem (pausing or stopping the song doesn't help). | 23:22 |
| mgolisch | omnomnOMINOUS: install libflash-support, flash should use pusleaudio then | 23:22 |

| mgolisch | Saiki: its the desktop manager used by ubuntu, the grafical greeter in which you enter your username and password which then starts your desktop session | 23:31 |

| rampageoberon | infinite: what sort of trouble? :s | 23:32 |
| opt1k | ok, i have a straightforward question: what is *the best* f2p 3d mmorpg that can be run under linux/ubuntu (running it under wine included)? pls just don't tell me regnum online. | 23:32 |
| infinite | rampageoberon: i just installed ubuntu, i'm unable to find a working network driver for it. | 23:33 |
| Saiki | komputes: only thing I might have to worry about is putting those folders back after I reinstall | 23:33 |
| komputes | Saiki: as long as i warned you, that's all I can do... | 23:33 |
| Durayne | I am using hardy Heron 8.04 Lts 64 Bit , is the 64Bit Version the problem? | 23:33 |
| Saiki | komputes: well-aware | 23:33 |

| opt1k | ok, i have a straightforward question: what is the *best* F2P 3d mmorpg that can be run under linux/ubuntu (running it under wine included)? pls just don't tell me regnum online. | 23:33 |

| ScheissDrogen | !best | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:34 |
| opt1k | ty | 23:34 |
| opt1k | but that doesn't help | 23:34 |
| rampageoberon | infinite: yikes, i'm getting worried now | 23:34 |
| Durayne | @opt1k what the best is i dont know actually Guildwars works really fine under wine, Lord of the Rings online works but crashes at my pc if i put the graphics to high | 23:34 |
| sealedwithakiss | Why doesn't the desktop cube rotate when I press the relevant key sequence? I'm using Compiz Fusion on Hardy Heron. | 23:34 |
| opt1k | Durayne: yeah but those two aren't F2P (free to play), and actually, i don't have the greatest hardware to run LotR or Guild Wars | 23:35 |
| h4x0r | T2:ok, Right Click The Speaker Icon by the clock, then click Open volume control, look at those lines | 23:35 |
| T2 | yes they are all at max volume | 23:36 |

| Scunizi | N0_Named_Guy: have you tried plugging the mouse directly into the computer usb port to see if it works? | 23:48 |
| N0_Named_Guy | Scunizi: so I guess the problem is within ubuntu | 23:48 |
| N0_Named_Guy | Scunizi: of course! | 23:48 |
| sealedwithakiss | N0_Named_Guy, I have had the desktop cube working in the past. | 23:48 |

| strategy | How do you enable desktop cube on hardy? | 23:49 |
| N0_Named_Guy | Scunizi: no no, I am not offended at all! :D | 23:49 |
| fbc | taishi28012, So you mean to tell me that there is no utility that will combine active port list from NETSTAT with an app listing from top, and correlate the two listings? I can't believe that I'm the only person on the planet that would like to know this information. | 23:49 |
