| R_YoYo_R | thesaint4444, not vmware but i have done it in virtualbox without a problem | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Agent_bob | agento i don't recall having setup a slide show as background from gnome but it's very simple in kde :))) | 00:00 |
| agento | Agent_bob, thanks jrib i think what u say its what i need | 00:01 |
| thesaint4444 | R_YoYo_R: thanks, whats the difference between vmware and virtualbox? cheers. | 00:01 |
| LjL | thesaint4444: they're different programs, they do the same thing. | 00:01 |
| mercutio22 | crdlb: what does lower-level mean exactly? (I don't mean to question as a challenge, I am just genuinely noobish). | 00:01 |
| christophe59500 | R_YoYo_R have you installed centos or fedora on ubuntu (xen) ? | 00:01 |
| LjL | thesaint4444: virtualbox also has an open-source version, vmware does not | 00:01 |
| R_YoYo_R | christophe59500, no | 00:01 |
| thesaint4444 | LjL: ok, thanks... will give it a go. | 00:02 |
| Abztrakt23 | hi | 00:02 |
| christophe59500 | R_YoYo_R ok, because, there is a bug, and i don't know how resolv this | 00:02 |
| Turl | hello | 00:02 |
| Abztrakt23 | is there anyway to install ubuntu using opensuse | 00:02 |
| thesaint4444 | R_YoYo_R: thanks for the info.... | 00:02 |
| crdlb | mercutio22: insmod just loads a module pointed to by an absolute path, modprobe will look in the correct locations, handle dependencies, and is configurable | 00:02 |
| LjL | mercutio22, one talks about "high level" and "low level" in computing referring to layers of abstraction, or layers of software/protocols. something "lower level" is something closer to the hardware, or closer to the simplest protocol in a chain | 00:02 |
| Turl | anyone knows what this means? [ 68.891992] mtrr: no MTRR for f8000000,3000000 found | 00:03 |
| Turl | [ 80.226763] mtrr: base(0xf8000000) is not aligned on a size(0x3000000) boundary | 00:03 |
| Abztrakt23 | can I install ubuntu using opensuse | 00:03 |
| emilien | have a problem with my keyboard , when i login keyboard fine , but when gnome starts it adds num pad to keyboared how fix this | 00:03 |
| Turl | Abztrakt23, download an ISO in opensuse, burn it and then install | 00:03 |
| Abztrakt23 | without using a cd | 00:03 |
| agento | jrib, excellent | 00:03 |
| mercutio22 | crdlb, LjL: Thanks, I see now. | 00:04 |
| Turl | erm, Abztrakt23, then you need to make a partition in your HDD, copy the iso in a special way there, make that bootable so it behaves like an iso and install from there, or you can also netinstall | 00:05 |
| jimmio | Hello all, I'm trying to write a bash script to download all files in a directory from the internet... can I just call wget "*"? | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | jimmio: no just this but wget can do what you want chack its man page | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | check* | 00:07 |
| Turl | jimmio, do you have millons of Zettabytes to store all the internet files? | 00:07 |
| jorrit | I'm trying to scp from one machine to another. SSH succeeds, but scp fails with permission denied. I using the following command: scp file user@remotehost:/home/user/ .It gives me a login prompt and responds with permission denied. | 00:07 |
| jorrit | Funny enough, sftp works. | 00:07 |
| mercutio22 | crdlb, LjL: If I forget my iee1394 (firewire) harddisk on, before I turn on my computer it isn't automounted. Then I have to "rmmod ohci1394" and later "modprobe ohci1394" and that works. So in that case should insmod do the same? | 00:07 |
| mercutio22 | as modprobe I mean | 00:08 |
| dominic_ | Does anyone else have probems with applications holding onto the sound card forcing others to be unable to use it? | 00:08 |

| catalao | what is the best linux ltsp to install? | 00:09 |
| emilien | dominic_, change to alsa | 00:09 |
| crdlb | mercutio22: insmod takes a full path; it has no module search path | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | dominic_: install libflashsupport | 00:09 |
| mercutio22 | dominic_: I have problem of that kind a lot, but not with firefox. Are you using pulseaudio or ALSA? | 00:09 |
| dominic_ | i'm not even on a flash page when this happens | 00:09 |
| thesaint4444 | dominic_: yes I think I have a similar problem... | 00:09 |
| dominic_ | ALSA | 00:09 |
| mercutio22 | dominic_: try using pulseaudio then | 00:10 |
| jimmio | Turl:... I said from a certain directory, lmao | 00:10 |
| dominic_ | okay, i'll mess with it some more | 00:10 |
| jorrit | catalao, Mostly that would be Ubuntu 8.04, unless you need some special hardwaresupport that is broken in this latest version. | 00:10 |
| dominic_ | something as simple as gmail does it | 00:10 |
| dominic_ | i guess via the sounds generated from the Instant Messages | 00:10 |
| Turl | jimmio, just a joke ;) | 00:11 |

| seekingtruth | If you use Ubuntu then you are immune to keyloggers etc...? is that true? | 00:11 |
| seekingtruth | if I use LiveCD ubuntu,why am I immune to keyloggers etc? | 00:12 |
| expl0ited2 | seekingtruth: your never totally immune to everything. | 00:12 |
| catalao | jorrit, do you know why the terminals break?? it's because the hardware? | 00:12 |
| jorrit | Can anyone help me with an scp vs. ssh problem? Ssh works, as well as sftp, but scp doesn't work, with the response access denied, even when I'm trying to write to a directory I have access to. | 00:12 |

| thesaint4444 | seekingtruth: you are immune to anyone changing your file system as it is on the cd... | 00:13 |
| jorrit | catalao, breaking terminals?, what program are you using? | 00:13 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: stuff can still load in ram when you use livecd | 00:13 |
| jrib | seekingtruth: hardware keylogger between your keyboard and the box | 00:13 |
| seekingtruth | thesaint4444: exploited2 just said the Ubuntu LiveCD can be infected with keylogger | 00:13 |
| seekingtruth | jrib: what do you mean? | 00:13 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: he means a physical device between your keyboard and the usb/ps2 port | 00:14 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: like a man-in-the-middle | 00:14 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: are you saying a keylogger can still load into RAM if I boot Ubuntu LiveCD?> | 00:14 |
| m1dn1ght | Hell no | 00:14 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: yeah, much like normal apps load into ram when you use LiveCD | 00:14 |
| thesaint4444 | seekingtruth: anything can load into ram... | 00:14 |
| m1dn1ght | Sorry - mischan | 00:15 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: if I load Ubuntu LiveCD, where does the keylogger come from to load into RAM as you suggest? | 00:15 |
| jorrit | seekingtruth, Of course, just be sure to check the MD5 hash if you're afraid your LiveCD might be tainted. | 00:15 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: websites, stuff you download | 00:15 |
| thesaint4444 | seek | 00:15 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: or just downlod another cd | 00:15 |
| thesaint4444 | seekingtruth: err.. the internet? | 00:15 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: or your livecd may be infiltrated as jorrit said | 00:16 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: just by visiting websites, a person can get infected with a keylogger??? a website writer can do that? | 00:16 |
| Maczimus | seekingtruth: the keylogger that some are talking about can also be a hardware device (looks like a flash drive) that plugs in between the keyboard cable and the computer. they can grab all keystrokes no matter what OS that you are using just check the cable. | 00:16 |
| jorrit | seekingtruth, If you download it from the main Ubuntu site and check the MD5 mentioned on *the official site of Ubuntu* against your ISO | 00:16 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: no no | 00:16 |
| emilien | n6 | 00:16 |
| emilien | no | 00:17 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: there needs to be more than that | 00:17 |
| LjL | jorrit: and who says that's the official site? ;) | 00:17 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: more like what? | 00:17 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: most common receipe for disaster is : Internet Explorer, dumbass 20cm away from screen, ActiveX scripts | 00:17 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: what would I need to do on ubuntu LiveCD to get a keylogger into RAM? | 00:17 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: IE runs on Ubuntu? :P | 00:17 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: in Wine :P | 00:17 |
| thesaint4444 | seek | 00:18 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: i didnt know IE comes on LiveCD | 00:18 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: it doesn't | 00:18 |
| emilien | need help , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911385 | 00:18 |
| thesaint4444 | seekingtruth: do you want to install a keylogger? | 00:18 |
| jorrit | LjL, Well the official site of Ubuntu is www.ubuntu.com, you can also download via SSL and check out the SSL certificate before copying the MD5 hashcode | 00:18 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: pls stay focused, you are drifing :P listren carefuly..... If I just use the LiveCD (NO WINE), how can a keylogger get into RAM? | 00:18 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: more to the point, a keylogger can be a C++ app that runs in the background.. you could compile your livecd to include that 'package' or download it once you ran livecd (of course, if you restart the system, the logger will drop out of RAM) | 00:19 |
| LjL | seekingtruth: you've been answered. | 00:19 |
| seekingtruth | thesaint4444: no, im curious if Ubuntu LiveCD can get ingfected with a keylogger | 00:19 |
| thesaint4444 | seekingtruth: dude you need to read some books... | 00:19 |
| LjL | seekingtruth: you download one, you execute it, there it is in RAM. | 00:19 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: you are off track! not listening! LISTEN CAREFULY................... If I just load LiveCD, and use it as is...... how can it get infected with a keylogger as you claim? | 00:19 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: the most obvious way is : you download a C script or an app that is downloaded INTO ram and is executed by ubuntu (or more likely by yourself) | 00:19 |
| LjL | seekingtruth: calm down now. this is even drifting into offtopic. you have been answered. | 00:20 |
| thesaint4444 | LjL: lol... | 00:20 |
| ech0dish | does anyone know if there is a more useful calendar then the default? | 00:20 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: step1. boot liveCD step2. while on livecd, download keylogger step 3 execute keylogger step4 be logged | 00:20 |
| the-ra | most likely: it is running from another source. not delivered by the cd. | 00:20 |
| seekingtruth | LjL: nobody answeered me, dont crap on. I never said about any C script downloaded. I asked,. if I run LiveCD and use it as is and browse the web, can it get infected with a keylogger | 00:21 |
| the-ra | ech0dish, sunbird maybe | 00:21 |
| emilien | evoltuion has one | 00:21 |
| m1dn1ght | ech0dish, sunbird? | 00:21 |
| seekingtruth | Prose: step2. while on livecd, download keylogger? how? | 00:21 |
| ech0dish | perhaps one that could replace the current calendar | 00:21 |
| ech0dish | does it work off the desktop? | 00:21 |
| jorrit | seekingtruth, If you just download the official LiveCD and don't visit dodgy sites (preferrably with NoScript if you are paranoid about Javascript) with Firefox, you'll be pretty safe. | 00:21 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: step 2.1 open Firefox | 00:21 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: 2.2 find source (webpage, ftp server) for keylogger app | 00:21 |
| Prose | seekingtruth: 2.3 download said keylogger from webpage | 00:22 |
| m1dn1ght | echo6_, are you referring to the calendar attached to the clock in gnome? | 00:22 |

| DarkShadow791 | my network manager whatever you call it doesnt see my wireless signal | 00:25 |

| m1dn1ght | ech0dish, yeah, gDesklets do the trick, but they look pretty standard compared to the screenlets unfortunately. Lack of 3d breaks my heart | 00:29 |
| DarkShadow791 | i'm a novice linux user | 00:29 |
| DarkShadow791 | and yes, ouch broadcom :( | 00:29 |
| jorrit | emilien, I understand. So basically, Gnome borks the settings of your keyboard. That would be a Gnome Daemon. So if you want to change it, use Gnome tools to do so, such as under System => Keyboard | 00:30 |

| _Zeus_ | np ;) | 00:45 |
| OzOr | boot splash screen - i think i can fix that | 00:45 |
| LjL | S-i-A: there is an iptables-save and an iptables-restore command | 00:45 |

| cruddpuppet | Why does my CD burner (the default one) fail to burn any CD? It says I need X amount of space, where X is the size of the files being burned, regardless of content | 00:46 |
| jorrit | S-i-A, If you want to have an ip-tables command permanent, you should add it as a script to your boot sequence. | 00:46 |
| OzOr | i think my menu.1st can't find it | 00:46 |
| LjL | S-i-A: a reasonable place to use iptables-resolve is possibly /etc/rc.local | 00:46 |
| ckyle | S-i-A: are you trying to block a website from your browser? | 00:46 |
| crdlb | cruddpuppet: you need enough space for it to make the image | 00:46 |

| S-i-A | ckyle: that blocked nothing | 00:47 |

| jorrit | joshuajtl, You might try Enlightment, a different Window-manager, you can even run it on top of Gnome as E-Gnome | 00:48 |
| ckyle | S-i-A: did you reboot? If you did and that didn't work, then paste your /etc/hosts to pastebin | 00:48 |

| jgedeon | Yep. | 01:06 |
| m1dn1ght | The mint package system seemed pretty poor imho | 01:06 |

| atid | jorrit: I remember on one machine that I had to install openssh before scp would work. Outside of that and what we have just discussed I have no other suggestions | 01:08 |
| m1dn1ght | joshuajtl, Yeah - pretty much everything else is Ubuntu based (obviously) but the package system which I figure to be one of the most important parts had it's own thing going on | 01:09 |

| Flannel | puff: Different people are awake at different times. And that's exactly why you should ask the original question first. | 01:21 |
| Flannel | DIFH-iceroot: no. | 01:22 |
| atid | jorrit: reference the scp and ssh issue. Just remembered: check that you have both the ssh client and server running on both machines. | 01:22 |
| jgedeon | puff, yes one of my systems is a thinkpad. | 01:22 |
| atid | jorrit: Supposedly, Mac installs them by default but you have to turn the services on | 01:22 |
| jorrit | atid, I've checked using ps -e. Both machines have both client and server running | 01:22 |
| puff | I have a thinkpad t43p. I had a lot of problems with the more recent ubuntu kernel (2.6.18 IRRC) when I upgraded a month or so ago. They appeared to be thinkpad-specific and reportedly related to the kernel upgrade, never did solve them. But then hardware problems ended up requiring me to rebuild everything anyway, so I've just avoided upgrading past the installed version. | 01:22 |
| Flannel | puff: If you ask "anyone use a thinkpad?" and in 20 minutes someone wakes up who does, they say "yes" and then 20 minutes later you get that, and actually answer your question, and then 20 minutes later they actually answer it. Etc. Vs Asking the question, waiting 20 minutes, and getting an answer. | 01:22 |

| RyanPrior | Picasa 3 works really well with Wine. :-)( | 01:35 |
| Pfirsich | jorrit: Can you say me the name? | 01:35 |
| Maczimus | m_newton System -> Settings -> sounds then look (third tab i believe) | 01:36 |
| m_newton | Maczimus, nah.... can I get some thing via terminal Please | 01:36 |
| jorrit | Pfirsich, something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4510 | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | m_newton: some older apps may still beep 'xset b 0 0 0 ' should set those to off, (if you use any of the older apps or the terminals) | 01:36 |
| m_newton | Maczimus, I have intrepid and things are not goin well | 01:36 |
| Maczimus | oh dunno that sorry | 01:36 |
| RyanPrior | m_newton: echo stfu > /etc/beep.conf | 01:36 |

| jorrit | Pfirsich, https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/573 | 01:38 |
| m_newton | RyanPrior, no such file | 01:38 |
| shaz | Is there a ubuntu port for arm eabi | 01:38 |
| jorrit | Pfirsich, of course I got that just by Googling for it ... O_o | 01:38 |
| RyanPrior | m_newton: I was joking, but it wasn't a very good joke. It would be nice if it worked. :-) | 01:38 |
| Pfirsich | Ohhh, I love you, excuse my words but I have been looking for 2 hours after the manure. | 01:39 |
| Brucee | whats the command to restart php in ubuntu? | 01:39 |

| pyrak | i just plugged an external into my command-line machine and i want to mount it | 01:40 |
| pyrak | but don't know if it's at /sda or what | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | pyrak: dmesg should mention it at the end.. or sudo fdisk -l, | 01:40 |
| RyanPrior | Brucee: PHP is an interpreter - it gets restarted for each script it runs. | 01:40 |
| RyanPrior | Brucee: If you're using mod_php, then you have to restart Apache. | 01:41 |
| Brucee | ahh sorry.. apache i meant.. | 01:41 |
| Brucee | whwats the command to restart apache | 01:41 |
| Brucee | ? | 01:41 |
| RyanPrior | Brucee: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart | 01:41 |
| Brucee | ty | 01:41 |
| jorrit | Pfirsich, My Google query went like this: "firefox 3 cookie editing" first hit was already a success. | 01:42 |

| shadowmancer | sorry | 01:45 |
| dataspy | i forgive you :P | 01:45 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, I have. I have an updated version running, why? | 01:45 |
| Violetbass | is it standart, that /system/system.../Deamons gives a authentication error? | 01:45 |
| shadowmancer | well i am trying to resize the partition on an external (internal in an external housing) 500gig ext3 formatted hdd and its saying its unallocated | 01:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | RyanPrior: agento while probably not a "solution"... I've found switchign my system sounds to use Alsa, and switching all applications to use Alsa, has defeated the problem w/ Youtube and hearing other sounds. | 01:47 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, If there's still a partition on your disk, did you try mounting it using an alternate superblock? | 01:47 |
| Ienorand | If I have 4gb memory and running 32bit, what kind of swap do I need to hibernate? There is no swapless hibrnation yet in Ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| agento | IndyGunFreak, so everything to alsa? | 01:47 |
| === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Nninja | ||
| IndyGunFreak | agento: thats what i did... all fo my apps are set to alsa, and i have all preferences set to alsa in my system sound prefs. | 01:48 |
| nnull | im not using swap at all :a | 01:48 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: i'm sorry to say i don't really know how, i'm not exactly that savy with many of the things within ubuntu, i just use it to program and i haven't really used it for much else | 01:48 |
| agento | IndyGunFreak, thanks ill give it a try | 01:48 |
| Ienorand | nnull: Does hibernation work for you? | 01:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | agento: like i said, it may not be for everyone, but I find alsa just fine for my needs. | 01:49 |
| === LSD|Nninja is now known as LSD|Ninja | ||
| nnull | Ienorand, havent tried it | 01:49 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, Here's a link for you:http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/mounting-with-an-alternative-superblock.html | 01:49 |
| bobertdos | agento: and hopefully one day, Pulse will catch up so it won't be necessary, but for now, that's all we can suggest | 01:49 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: will doing this have any effect on my hard drive, because its a drive i use to backup my work, and want to use as a place to boot windows from and don't want to mess up any of the data | 01:50 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, mounting is non-destructive if you use the proper filesystem. | 01:50 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: how do i know what superblock i want to mount it on | 01:52 |
| php6th | -list fdisk = | 01:52 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, that depends on how the ext3 partitiion is formatted (cluster size) | 01:52 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: how do i find that out | 01:52 |
| === PatchLevel is now known as Guest27326 | ||
| === emcepe is now known as mcp | ||
| jorrit | shadowmancer, did you try sudo fdisk -l | 01:53 |
| === PatchLevel2 is now known as PatchLevel | ||
| jorrit | shadowmancer, it gives a wealth of info and -l is only reading, no writing. | 01:53 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: how do i find the cluster size from the output | 01:54 |
| Ienorand | Question remains: 4gb memory on 32bit, amount of swap to hibernate? 3.5gb? No swapless hibernation yet in Ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| bazz | the volume up/down buttons on my thinkpad don't seem to generate keypress/release events, just keymapnotify ones (according to xev). i can map it to a keyboard shortcut (XF86AudioRaiseVolume) in xfce, but it doesn't ever seem to execute the shortcut. how do i fix this? | 01:54 |

| CyberCod | bazz: what model of thinkpad is it? on mine they seem to control volume independantly of the OS | 01:55 |
| puff | CyberCod: Samehere. | 01:56 |

| joshuajtl | hi folks, how do you all install dvd playback and other nonfree stuff? with medibuntu? | 01:56 |
| CyberCod | I think it is something in the bios or built into the bios maybe | 01:56 |
| CyberCod | not regular keys | 01:56 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, dumpe2fs -h /dev/hdb5 | grep "Block size" | 01:57 |
| jrib | joshuajtl: yeah | 01:57 |
| joshuajtl | cool thanks | 01:57 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, where /dev/jdb5 is your own drive | 01:57 |
| puff | CyberCod: Idaknow, it displays a graphical volume icon, that suggests GUI integration to me. | 01:57 |
| bazz | CyberCod: they work fine in gnome, but not in xfce | 01:57 |
| CyberCod | must be different models | 01:58 |
| CyberCod | mine's kinda old | 01:58 |
| CyberCod | a21m | 01:58 |
| CyberCod | a22m | 01:58 |
| CyberCod | something like that | 01:58 |
| bazz | CyberCod: you got em working in xfce? | 01:58 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: it couldn't find the super block, and i did retype it in context to my external | 01:58 |
| shingen | bazz: then go into gnome and see which key mappings it uses? :) | 01:59 |
| joshuajtl | intrepid hasnt been released has it? | 01:59 |
| puff | CyberCod: Mine's a t43p. | 01:59 |
| bazz | shingen: it's not generating a mapping, it's generating a keynotifyevent | 01:59 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: i just noticed the naming conventions my external uses is sdb does that matter | 01:59 |
| LordFDisk | Dose anyone know what driver I need for a Zonet ZEW1642 PIC Wifi Card? | 01:59 |
| CyberCod | bazz: no, but there's no volume popup either, and there's a bios option to turn on/off a beep when changing volume | 01:59 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, Yes it does, you need to address the right drive (device) before you can get any info about it. | 01:59 |
| bazz | CyberCod: ahh, so you're saying it does change the volume, you just don't get an osd | 02:00 |
| jorrit | this is the output of one of my partitions: sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda5 | grep "Block size" | 02:00 |
| jorrit | dumpe2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) | 02:00 |

| CyberCod | right | 02:00 |
| ech0dish | i want to hack my neighbors wifi so i can download stuff without it being traced back to me. anyone got some suggestions? | 02:00 |

| barbarella | LordFDisk:you've got the rt2760t | 02:24 |
| shadowmancer | jorrit: WD? PSU? | 02:24 |
| thenetduck | IndyGunFreak: do I need any other additional partitions? | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | LordFDisk: hm, i'm not that experienced w/ ralink devices... i know they generally require a firmware upgrade if i recall correctly.. you might try searching the forums(ubuntuforums.org) i'm sure there's probably plenty of documentation there. | 02:24 |
| jorrit | shadowmancer, Sorry, I tired, Western digital, PSU = POwerSoUrce | 02:24 |

| thenetduck | IndyGunFreak: also, I would like to be able to keep my /opt directory sync because I runn XAMPP so how big does that need to be? | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | thenetduck: i'm not really experienced in sharing /home among different distros.. i've never done it myself, but your mainn partition for Ubuntu, shouldn't need to be more than 5-10gigs i guess. | 02:26 |
| LordFDisk | berbarella, what package would I need to find | 02:26 |

| Jason2gs | danbhfive, I see. So this is a common problem? Is there a name for this problem? :p Perhaps a way to fix it without installing Hardy Heron? | 03:41 |
| jgedeon | well then just edit your boot.ini and you won't have to worry about grub or your MBR. | 03:41 |

| jgedeon | ok the set up is two systems, desktop and Ubuntu and then both plugged into a router. | 04:05 |

| Anacranom | vengefulpete, have you forwarded the port-to-ip on the router? | 04:12 |
| kbd | somehow, the static IP from the first configuration of /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 is not the ip it currently has | 04:12 |
| kbd | joejoecircusboy: ufw | 04:12 |
| joejoecircusboy | kbd: Can you stop the firewall and try the ping? | 04:12 |
| dureyes | I have 8GB of ram and running Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit version, but when I run System Monitor it shows the amount the as 7.7 GiB....on Vista it shows as 8GB | 04:12 |

| joejoecircusboy | jgedeon: 1. His Ubuntu system is not directly connected to the Internet. (It's behind a nat box/) 1. the Default Ubuntu install does not have any network listeners that need blocking | 04:18 |

| Anacranom | vengefulpete, there are 2 authentications when vnc, 1st is to get to the box, thats the one you set up when you enable remote desktop, the 2nd is your user password | 04:18 |

| alejandr0 | hello, could anyone help me out with error 22 on grub | 04:28 |
| devron6 | so after this you cannot boot ubuntu? | 04:28 |
| Munchkinguy | It used to be at /home/gabriel/.trash but it's gone. | 04:28 |
| Anacranom | vengefulpete, try Cpudan80 's suggestion first, mine works for me but may not be best | 04:28 |
| ckyle | you must've sent your trash folder to the trash and it's in an infinite loop | 04:28 |
| devron6 | or u cannot boot windows | 04:28 |
| TBKDan | Is there a way to truncate long file names on the desktop? When I have a folder with a name of 60+ characters, it really tends to make the desktop look cluttered... I would prefer to have it display a small portion of the name and let me hover/click on it for the rest... | 04:28 |

| ubottu | Munchkinguy: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 04:28 |
| BobDoel | devron6, Negative. I can boot into windows because that drive still contains the windows bootloader. | 04:28 |
| kbd | so jgedeon what should I do? | 04:28 |
| BobDoel | I am just unable to get grub working | 04:28 |
| Munchkinguy | ckyle: I can do trash:/// in nautilus but I can't find it in real life. | 04:28 |

| Cpudan80 | vengefulpete: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ | 04:29 |
| usser | Munchkinguy, ^^ | 04:29 |
| jgedeon | kbd, that is personal preference. | 04:29 |
| Cpudan80 | vengefulpete: All works, except that gdm is at /etc/gdm (not whatever it says on the article) | 04:29 |
| ckyle | its at ~/.local/share/Trash | 04:29 |
| Munchkinguy | usser: Thanks! | 04:30 |
| vengefulpete | Cpudan80, Anacranom: ty both, i will try both and eventually figure it out or give up ^_^ | 04:30 |
| devron6 | bobdoel,did you install ur bootloader on the same drive as windows? | 04:30 |
| jgedeon | kbd, I personally use IPtables and FWBuilder to edit them with an Untangle Gateway to my home network. | 04:30 |
| venger | BobDoel, since windows wants its hd to be the first visibile disk you will have to switch the hd order in the bios if you expect grub to boot from another drive, and you could have grub boot windows using the map command | 04:30 |
| BobDoel | BobDoel, GRUB? | 04:30 |
| BobDoel | Ahh but GRUB does come up, i can just load my BIOS's boot menu and select it. | 04:31 |
| devron6 | yes grub, you can do one or two things as venger said u can change the disk of ubuntu and load it first | 04:31 |
| BobDoel | It just gives me an error when i select a partition to boot from. | 04:31 |
| devron6 | or you can reinstall ubuntu and install grub on ur windows drive | 04:31 |
| devron6 | which will use grub to boot both windows and linux | 04:31 |
| BobDoel | The drive or the partition windows is on? | 04:31 |
| kbd | well alright, I guess I can always reinstall | 04:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | kbd: Agreed, FWBuilder is really nice | 04:32 |

| kbd | here's my before.rules | 04:41 |
| andresj | elik: as far as i know, yes. | 04:41 |
| andresj | elik: but if i remember well, the installer gives the option to NOT install it in the MBR; maybe ure friend selected that | 04:42 |
| elik | andresj, A friend of mine just completed his install and he's getting the Disk boot failure error... which is very much like Windows MBR | 04:42 |

| patrickmn | full install | 04:45 |
| elik | :) | 04:45 |
| patrickmn | on two laptops | 04:45 |
| elik | you know what MBR is, or grub? | 04:45 |
| patrickmn | yep | 04:45 |
| alejandr0 | no partition is found, error 22 on grub, what can i do? | 04:45 |
| elik | so you're not such a noob ;) | 04:45 |
| elik | patrickmn, you know what option need to be chosen to create the mbr properly? | 04:46 |
| patrickmn | been hanging from the microsoft tree for a while | 04:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | kbd: still there? | 04:46 |
| patrickmn | i selected the middle option on install | 04:46 |
| patrickmn | wiping the whole drive | 04:46 |
| patrickmn | it does a proper setup | 04:46 |
| patrickmn | what os on the machine before? | 04:46 |
| elik | so that's the partition setup? | 04:47 |
| elik | a partially installed WinXP | 04:47 |
| patrickmn | its an automated version | 04:47 |
| elik | you mean? | 04:47 |
| patrickmn | boot up the machine with the xp setup and get to the portion to choose what partition to install xp to, then delete all partions | 04:48 |
| venger | alejandr0, boot the CD and reinstall grub? | 04:48 |
| patrickmn | then reboot with ubuntu disk | 04:48 |
| elik | you think that would help? | 04:48 |
| elik | cause that's the 2nd part of the problem, WinXP installer makes the machine reboot... | 04:49 |
| patrickmn | yep, it also works to clear the newer ntfs for vista drives too | 04:49 |
| alejandr0 | venger: i boot the cd but dont know how to reinstall grub | 04:49 |
| elik | Cause I mean, if you tell linux to take the whole disk... previous install or not should not matter | 04:49 |
| patrickmn | elik: what do you mean that the xp installer makes your system reboot, do you get a blue screen? | 04:49 |
| ewan-bj-cn | hi,you can do nothing after boot with ubuntu cd, just click next ...at last ubuntu install process should reinstall your GRUB. | 04:49 |
| elik | patrickmn, hum, dunno, not there... but most likely | 04:50 |
| elik | patrickmn, but honestly, screw windows :D just want to get that Ubuntu working | 04:50 |

| venger | alejandr0, if the ubuntu cd doesn't have a rescue mode to which a menu gives and option to reinstall grub, then you would want to mount your root partition then create a chroot and use grub-install, update-grub as appropriate | 04:53 |

| stencoremoi | mgonzalez #ubuntu-es | 04:53 |

| wsjunior | also, how do i set gnome-terminal to always open with a specific size? | 04:55 |
| venger | alejandr0, you mean it doesn't automount it? or that linux doesn't see it with , say , dmesg | grep sd ? | 04:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | ljsoftnet: LTS stands for "Long Term Support", which simply means that an LTS release will be maintained longer (i.e. maintained in the form of new patches, etc) | 04:55 |
| carrera | zcat[1], any other ideas? | 04:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | ljsoftnet: It doesn't really mean much, unless you plan on using the same Ubuntu install for several years (because you're using it as a server, for example) | 04:55 |
| ljsoftnet | @joejoecircusboy how about the normal upgrade? | 04:55 |
| alejandr0 | venger: got 2 hds, main hd nowhere to be found | 04:56 |
| Odditie | Ok, I need help with PulseAudio. I tried to remove it, and now Amarok will play one song and then it says xine cannot load an audio driver. | 04:56 |
| venger | alejandr0, confirm the drive spins up and you bios sees it | 04:56 |
| joejoecircusboy | ljsoftnet: the upgrade process is the same in either case, LTS is just referring to the support lifetime of the release (8.04 is an LTS release.. there is no non-LTS version of 8.04) | 04:56 |
| alejandr0 | ok | 04:56 |

| stencoremoi | midoboss ask | 04:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | midoboss: I know a bit | 04:57 |
| ljsoftnet | @joejoecircusboy: i mean whats the difference between upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 8.10 and not upgrading it? | 04:57 |
| stencoremoi | no private midoboss | 04:58 |
| patrickmn | darkshadow791: i am new to ubuntu also | 04:58 |
| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: just msttcorefonts I think | 04:58 |

| Maximander | how do I mark a superblock as clean so that JFS will mount? | 04:59 |
| joejoecircusboy | ljsoftnet: well, two things: 1. 8.10 is alpha software... don't do that! 2. when 8.10 is release, it will only be supported for 12 months (I think)... which means if there is a security flaw in Linux 12+ months in the future, the will fix it in 8.04 (because it has long term support), but not in 8.10 (which is a regular, short-life release) | 04:59 |

| zcat[1] | joejoecircusboy: yes, it was set at the time the package was installed. Found out where (in the admin menu) and turned it off, and rebooted to be sure. It's not set now but something in msttcorefonts is still configured to use it | 05:03 |
| ech0dish | whats command to copy a file | 05:03 |

| joejoecircusboy | zcat[1]: is the environmental variable still set? (did you try that echo command I gave?) | 05:03 |

| mixandgo | Splex: yeah I couldn't make that work | 05:21 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: cat you do a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and paste? | 05:21 |
| Cpudan80 | mixandgo: I get the same battery life in *nix as I did in Windows | 05:21 |
| Cpudan80 | maybe a few minutes difference | 05:21 |
| mixandgo | Cpudan80: strange | 05:22 |
| cari | cari_dhani | 05:22 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/43820/ for my cpu info | 05:22 |
| venger | Maximander, so you tried the -f switch? | 05:22 |
| Splex | mixandgo: look on the forums, probably someone has covered getting your screen brightness/etc settings to work | 05:22 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: if you do the configure without the fancy CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, what happens? | 05:22 |
| xvagilinux | im new to linux...is it ok if i idle in here to check out all the different Q&A? | 05:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: i.e. try again with CFLAGS="" and CXXFLAGS="" | 05:23 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, haven't tried | 05:23 |
| mixandgo | Splex: yeah I did try before, but I will look again | 05:23 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, ok | 05:23 |
| venger | Maximander, the last restore switch is -o (omit) --- man fsck.jfs... good luck | 05:23 |
| venger | s/restore/resort | 05:23 |
| Splex | mixandgo: you have which notebook do you have? | 05:23 |
| Splex | ugh, that got mangled | 05:24 |
| Splex | mixandgo: which notebook do you have? | 05:24 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, it worked! | 05:24 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, what was the problem, -mpentium4? | 05:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: I'd go with something like "-O3 -march=i686" | 05:24 |
| EricAhn | In top, Cpu(s) means CPU ratio? why different Cpus(s) and PID %CPU? | 05:25 |
| fistandandelus | quick question guys, anyone know how to change the console background? | 05:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: Not sure, maybe... that option isn't listed in the gcc man page, but it doesn't seem to throw an error for me either | 05:25 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, here's another error: No curses/termcap library found | 05:26 |
| imneat | anyone know how to get the rhythmbox desktop visualization working? | 05:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: you probably need to install the ncurses devel package | 05:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: try something like "apt-cache search -n ncurses", you should see a -devel, or -dev package | 05:26 |
| ckyle | if using gnome-terminatl, to change the console background just select from the terminal menu Edit / Current Profile and use the Colors tab. | 05:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | EricAhn: Not sure if I understand the questions.. but the Cpu(s) line is giving you a summary of CPU usage for the entire system.. the PID CPU usage is for a specific process | 05:27 |

| mandalorian | I need help installing a printer | 05:28 |
| xvagilinux | if a linux distro says inte compatible will it work with AMD? | 05:28 |
| stencoremoi | mandalorian go on #printer | 05:28 |
| xvagilinux | intel* | 05:28 |
| mandalorian | I have the drivers for linux, but I don't know how to use it | 05:28 |
| joejoecircusboy | xvagilinux: yeah.. | 05:28 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, libkaya-ncurses-dev is the closest I get | 05:29 |
| DeAd|war | hi i'm having problems witjh my wirless connection ubuntu now | 05:29 |
| imneat | xvagilinux, it should - it depends on architecture. intel x86 will work with 32bit intel and amd processors. | 05:29 |
| ckyle | xvag: for all practical purposes Intel is the same as AMD, so I'd say that 99% chance the answer is yes | 05:29 |
| xvagilinux | thx | 05:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: that's not right.. sec | 05:29 |
| EricAhn | joejoecircusboy, stencoremoi : thanks | 05:29 |
| mandalorian | I am in printing | 05:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | carrera: libncurses5-dev | 05:29 |
| stencoremoi | carrera try #cursie | 05:29 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, installing ncurses-dev | 05:29 |
| carrera | stencoremoi, cursie? | 05:30 |
| imneat | xvagilinux, they probably say 'intel' because afaik x86 is intels architecture. most mainstream processors use it. | 05:30 |
| xvagilinux | imneat: gotcha thx | 05:30 |

| joejoecircusboy | carrera: Funny though, I don't actually se a ncurses-dev package here on my system | 05:33 |
| carrera | joejoecircusboy, stencoremoi, thanks for your help | 05:33 |

| mandalorian | Can someone help me with my printer? | 05:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | mandalorian: I'd rather watch paint dry, than fix printer problems :) (But not to say someone won't like to help :) | 05:35 |
| mandalorian | I have the drivers and software all I need is help to install it | 05:36 |
| mandalorian | I don't know how to install something if it is not in the repository | 05:37 |
| venger | mandalorian, did you check http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi on your model first | 05:37 |
| mandalorian | I have to go I am returning latter | 05:37 |
| venger | save that url | 05:37 |
| dako3256 | how do you set up home network with 2 computers? | 05:39 |
| joejoecircusboy | dako3256: Where are you stuck, specificly? | 05:40 |
| dako3256 | both are running ubuntu, but cant see one from the other, should i be able to see them in network? | 05:41 |
| mandalorian | I am back | 05:41 |
| LtShinySides | dako3256, nope, ubuntu by default doesnt use samba | 05:41 |
| LtShinySides | dako3256, u have multiple options there | 05:41 |
| dako3256 | install samba and share folder then? | 05:41 |
| LtShinySides | dako3256, like nfs, ssh, ftp | 05:41 |
| dako3256 | would nfs be better than samba? | 05:42 |
| LtShinySides | dako3256, yes, since samba is not native to linux | 05:42 |
| LtShinySides | dako3256, whereas nfs has been around for decades | 05:42 |
| dako3256 | right would not be using XP | 05:42 |
| dako3256 | can you point me to a place to read up on setting up nfs? | 05:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | dako3256: Samba might be easier to configure (which may or may not be a factor depending on your experience level) | 05:43 |
| LtShinySides | dako3256, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html | 05:43 |
| LtShinySides | joejoecircusboy, i disagree nfs configuration is pretty straightforward | 05:43 |
| dako3256 | experience level not that high, but know why around a little bit | 05:44 |
| krishna | can someone guide me thru configuring squid proxy? | 05:44 |

| clouder`grr | does anyone know of a utility that can make my mouse more precise when I hold down a button or something? | 05:45 |
| joejoecircusboy | LtShinySides: A simple, insecure nfs setup is somewhat straightforward... but once you get into any level of security, it's a PITA | 05:45 |
| tj1515 | anyone know a good howto on creating a swap drive i have a fat32 backup partition that is not being used | 05:45 |
| clouder`grr | I like to have my mouse on fastest least sensitive settings, but once in a while I can't grab something and would like to toggle some higher sens for a second | 05:46 |
| venger | krishna, i'd try application specific channels such as #squid , though my approach would be to clarify what you are failing to understand | 05:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: why do you want to do that? | 05:46 |
| tj1515 | thought it would help out my proformance i could be wrong :) | 05:46 |
| krishna | venger, i have installed webmin | 05:47 |
| LtShinySides | joejoecircusboy, same goes for samba | 05:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | LtShinySides: SMB has far stronger security, by default | 05:47 |
| LtShinySides | joejoecircusboy, nfs is quick and dirty for something secure i just use ssh and sshfs package | 05:47 |
| krishna | thru webmin i want to configure squid proxy srvr | 05:47 |
| LtShinySides | joejoecircusboy, yea thats true | 05:47 |
| tj1515 | joejoecircusboy: so no need for swap drive | 05:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: Do you find you're running with alot of swap usage? | 05:48 |
| krishna | i initially want to know how to set up the incoming ip that is the default gateway | 05:48 |
| krishna | from the adsl router | 05:48 |
| squirkey | hello all | 05:48 |
| ahtmly2k | does there exists a counter-strike-like game for ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| tj1515 | not sure how to tell i'm kinda new to this | 05:48 |
| ahtmly2k | WINE doesnt count | 05:48 |
| LtShinySides | ahtmly2k, americas army | 05:48 |
| krishna | say for example the defaultgw is 192.168.1.1 | 05:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: Generally, you don't want to be doing alot of IO with swap... and if you are, you want swap on your fastest drive, not some old spare you have kicking around | 05:48 |
| krishna | how do i add it on sq proxy | 05:49 |
| ahtmly2k | really? download path? | 05:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: how much RAM do you have installed? | 05:49 |
| ahtmly2k | 2gb | 05:49 |
| ahtmly2k | oh was that for me? | 05:49 |
| tj1515 | joejoecircusboy: 1gb, my system just seems to be getting slow thought it may help | 05:49 |
| squirkey | Need help with getting the onboard wifi card in a dell latitude d600 to scan for existing wifi networks. Anyone know how? | 05:49 |
| squirkey | Or point me to the right place? | 05:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: In practice, it probably won't make any real difference.. However, if merely want to know how to do it, I'd be happy to walk you through it | 05:50 |
| LtShinySides | ahtmly2k, http://americasarmy.filefront.com/files/Americas_Army/Official_Releases/Full_Install;983 | 05:50 |
| LtShinySides | ahtmly2k, linux version hasnt been updated for a while but ppl still play it | 05:50 |
| amicrawler | is there a way to keep vnic from booting up all the time | 05:50 |
| ahtmly2k | alright... i'll check it out thanx | 05:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | LtShinySides: Speaking of nfs security... have you ever setup nfs with kerberos? | 05:51 |
| ahtmly2k | oh 1 more thing... i'm downloading openarena its taking its time... wht do i do to abort it? and can i resume it later on? | 05:52 |
| tj1515 | joejoecircusboy: do u have any ideas on how i could get a better idea of why my system seems to be slower | 05:52 |
| ahtmly2k | im using terminal | 05:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: sure. What operations are slow? | 05:52 |
| LtShinySides | joejoecircusboy, no never done that | 05:52 |
| Ashfire908 | ahtmly2k, if you are emerging it yea you can resume it later. | 05:52 |
| amicrawler | is there a way to keep vnic from booting up all the time | 05:53 |
| squirkey | joejoecircusboy: are you talking to me? | 05:53 |
| Ashfire908 | ahtmly2k, I mean downloading. | 05:53 |
| LtShinySides | ahtmly2k, are u installing from the repos? | 05:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | squirkey: before now? no :) | 05:53 |
| squirkey | sorry | 05:53 |
| Ashfire908 | ahtmly2k, crap sorry wrong channel... damnit. | 05:53 |
| venger | amicrawler, look for it in System->Administration->Services? | 05:54 |
| tj1515 | firefox starts slow some image and flash heavy a slow reacting. Also programs seem to darken out to think alot more often then used to | 05:54 |
| tj1515 | i meant flash heavy pages react slowly | 05:54 |
| tj1515 | its late :) | 05:55 |
| ahtmly2k | haha | 05:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: Flash has a bad habit of consuming all the CPU after awhile.... | 05:55 |
| ahtmly2k | i'm downloading openarena its taking its time... wht do i do to abort it? and can i resume it later on? im using terminal | 05:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: when things get slow, you can use the 'top' command (or System -> Administration -> System monitor) to get an idea which programs are using the system resources | 05:55 |
| osmosis | help. I unplugged my computer so I could move my desk, and when I plugged everything in and turned it back on, now Xorg will only start into failsafe mode. | 05:56 |

| osmosis | I cant get out of 640x480 | 05:56 |
| tj1515 | joejoecircusboy: thanks i'm going to keep a better eye on my processes to see if i can find the problem | 05:57 |

| joshhunt | How can i convert all .wav files in a folder to .mp3? | 05:58 |
| l3d | whats the link for pasting screenshots? | 05:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: also, I recommend you install the Firefox plugin 'FlashBlock'.. it will replace flash sections with a placeholder image, which you can click after the page is loaded to see the flash animation. | 05:58 |
| tj1515 | joejoecircusboy: thanks i'll try it too | 05:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | tj1515: 2 advantages with 'FlashBlock', 1. prevent flash heavy pages from killing Firefox, 2. hides most annoying ads | 05:58 |

| OrangeKyo | hi, new to linux, would you say linux users are warm and welcoming community? or more solo artists who spend time working on only their own machine? | 06:02 |

| ckyle | OrangeKyo: offtopic, please take to #ubuntu-offtopic ;-) | 06:04 |
| falemant | when i told my brother i was installing linux he told me to grow a beard and a beer belly, does that answer your question OrangeKyo? | 06:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: can you post the command you're running too? | 06:05 |
| Amerikan | can someone tell me some good ways to customize my look of ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| OrangeKyo | o.O, wow, ok i guess those responses answer my question. | 06:05 |
| falemant | i'm running fsck -C | 06:05 |
| l3d | whats the link for pasting screenshots? | 06:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: you're not specifying the device to check? | 06:06 |
| OrangeKyo | i think i will go back to windows then, thanks anyway, sorry to bother. | 06:06 |
| falemant | no i'm not specifying the device to check | 06:06 |
| falemant | i want it to check everything | 06:06 |
| Amerikan | OrangeKyo: Why? | 06:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | OrangeKyo: lol, you do realize a joke when you see one? | 06:06 |
| Amerikan | OrangeKyo: The ubuntu community is more supportive then a camp full of stoner nudists | 06:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | Amerikan: hahah.. nice | 06:07 |
| IdleOne | OrangeKyo: you are more then welcome to stay here. just that we try to keep this channel ( room ) for support only | 06:07 |
| falemant | joejoecircusboy, it throws that error when i specify an FS as well | 06:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | Amerikan: that's pretty supportive! | 06:07 |
| IdleOne | if you want to chat type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:07 |
| falemant | IdleOne, you're not helping | 06:07 |
| Amerikan | joejoecircusboy: I'm new to ubuntu And I've learned that fast | 06:07 |
| IdleOne | falemant: did not see you offer any info | 06:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: when you say FS, do you mean something like /dev/sda1? | 06:08 |
| ckyle | OrangeKyo: what everybody was saying was "Welcome to Linux"... note the emoticons | 06:08 |
| falemant | well i tried fsck /home and it gave me a similar error, but with /home's UUID | 06:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: oh, I see.. might be some confusion here | 06:09 |
| bullgard4 | top show that the process whiptail consumes 95% of my CPU time. I did not call the whiptail program. What program might have called the whiptail process? | 06:09 |

| joejoecircusboy | falemant: ya, that be great | 06:10 |

| falemant | http://pastebin.com/m561145e7 | 06:11 |
| LtShinySides | brutus, openoffice | 06:11 |
| falemant | btw this might seem like a strange way to partition, and it is. i don't know why i made the root partition so huge. the /home was supposed to be 10gb but i accidentally made it 3 lol | 06:11 |
| ckyle | l3d: I think I right clicked on the mounted drive icon on my desktop and there was an option under there... | 06:12 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: you want to run fsck on hard drive device files (/dev/sd*), not mount points (/home, /var, etc) | 06:12 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: if you want to run fsck on your /home filesystem, check the output of the 'mount' command to see which hard drive device file it's located on | 06:13 |
| brutus | LtShinySides, hey thanks a lott! | 06:13 |
| LtShinySides | brutus, np | 06:14 |
| falemant | joejoecircusboy, the man page for fsck said i can do it on a mount point | 06:17 |
| joejoecircusboy | falemant: the method that requires the least dependencies is the direct device file method... other methods rely on other things working (which obviously in this case, are not) | 06:18 |
| Digital0 | what is the correct way to mount a vista/samba share in hardy? | 06:19 |
| Digital0 | (non-fstab) | 06:19 |
| ckyle | falemant: i thought that doing fsck on a mount point could possibly corrupt your filesystem... I thought I read a warning saying something like that... so, please be careful. | 06:19 |
| joejoecircusboy | ckyle: he left | 06:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | Digital0: there are multiple ways of accessing an SMB share... I'm not sure any one way is more 'correct'. What do you mean by correct? | 06:20 |
| Digital0 | joejoecircusboy: to mount it, so that frontend applications can access it as any other mounted location | 06:20 |
| Digital0 | joejoecircusboy: and not a fstab/permanent/automatic mount, because it's a wireless laptop | 06:21 |
| joejoecircusboy | Digital0: fstab is the most compatible (since it splices the share directly into the filesystem) | 06:21 |
| Digital0 | joejoecircusboy: it needs to be ... on demand, per se | 06:21 |
| joejoecircusboy | Digital0: failing that... you can use gvfs (or whatever it's called.. the gnome file system) | 06:21 |
| LtShinySides | Digital0, mount -F cifs -o username=x,password=y server:/share /mountpoint | 06:22 |
| joejoecircusboy | Digital0: Places -> connect to server | 06:22 |
| LtShinySides | Digital0, just put this line in a script make executable and put on your desktop there you go its on demand | 06:23 |

| joejoecircusboy | threefcata: one more idea - try wrapping each full searchpath substitution in quotes | 06:53 |

| falemant | heyas guys, is it ok to hit control+c while fsck is running? | 07:25 |
| falemant | i'mrunning fsckfrom liveCD | 07:25 |
| falemant | for some reason it's cheacking blockby block even thought i have EXT3, so it should just chk the journal | 07:25 |
| snegtul | shit | 07:25 |
| tleuser | test | 07:25 |
| snegtul | i can't riddle out how to add a ringtone to my phone | 07:26 |
| snegtul | i got the file copied there | 07:26 |
| snegtul | no clue how to make it show in the list | 07:26 |
| falemant | so yea is it ok to control+c fsck while it's running? | 07:26 |
| falemant | anyone? | 07:27 |
| Amerikan | snegtul: You generally have to buy them. You can add music to listen too though. I'm not sure if that belongs here though | 07:27 |
| snegtul | not a good idea | 07:27 |
| snegtul | i got the file Amerikan | 07:27 |
| snegtul | its the last bit that is confounding me | 07:27 |
| emet | joejoecircusboy, I made one myself | 07:27 |
| emet | /exec -o echo "cpu:[`awk -F":" '/model name/ { print $2 }' /proc/cpuinfo` ] mem:[ `free -m | awk '/Mem/ { print $3 "MB used of " $2 "MB"}'` ]" | 07:27 |
| emet | cpu:[ Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz ] mem:[ 886MB used of 1001MB ] | 07:27 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | falemant: i've done it a bunch when rebooting and it starts checking but i don't want to wait. haven't seen any problems...that's all i can say | 07:27 |
| snegtul | falemant if your system is asking for a FSCK let it finish | 07:28 |
| falemant | no i did it by myself | 07:28 |
| falemant | also, i have ext3, and did a fsck, it said everything was ok | 07:28 |
| snegtul | oh, well should be o.k. provided there is no I/O happening on the fs | 07:28 |
| falemant | then i did another one and for seom reason instead of checking the journal, it checked bloc kby block | 07:28 |
| falemant | no there is no io, i'm on a livecd | 07:29 |
| falemant | unmounted everything | 07:29 |
| snegtul | oh yes ctrl-c is fine | 07:29 |
| falemant | ok cool | 07:29 |
| snegtul | i would only discourage that on a dirty fs | 07:29 |
| snegtul | e.g. one with errors | 07:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | emet: do you often forget what CPU you purchased? :P | 07:29 |
| xvagilinux | okay smb.cong says owner is root...i dont have a user root, how do i change the permissions? | 07:30 |
| falemant | aight i just ctrl-c | 07:30 |
| falemant | but heres the thing | 07:30 |

| falemant | i lost a couple of files | 07:30 |
| snegtul | you know, i went with a palm phone because they usually play nicely with linux | 07:30 |
| falemant | how can i check my lost+found for them? | 07:30 |
| snegtul | but this ring-tone stuff is perplexing me | 07:30 |
| Kitu | please, in xchat, how to deny input_perc_color just for one line ? | 07:31 |

| Ab3L | hello | 07:31 |

| snegtul | not really drogmir, but i'm good with DNS | 07:33 |
| falemant | snegtul i just did that but, for some reason there is nothing in the lost+found folder | 07:33 |
| falemant | at least nothing that i can see | 07:33 |

| falemant | i lost like 3 or 4 files | 07:33 |
| venger | xvagilinux, ubuntu installs without a root password so login is disabled. use sudo <command> or sudo -s for a root shell as appropriate | 07:33 |
| snegtul | only orphaned shit should go there | 07:33 |

| snegtul | what is the anomaly you're seeing drogmir? | 07:37 |
| venger | xvagilinux, just as i described or perhaps there is a text editor that uses gksudo, i would simply use sudo -s and then run vi file.ext but you may want to use something like gedit or whatever | 07:38 |
| snegtul | i'll query my nameservers | 07:38 |
| drogomir | http://pastie.org/267113 | 07:38 |

| Tenshihan | 10 - +6 +6 + 12 | 07:44 |
| venger | ushimitsudoki1, thats a server and alternate CD option right? | 07:44 |
| Tenshihan | so the next logical step would be another +12 then a +18 + 18 | 07:44 |
| johninlex | anyone know how to edit scripts | 07:44 |
| Esquilo | there is a good mac widget that allows to drag one image to it then it sends the file to imageshack and after send you the link. Is there anything like that for Ubuntu? | 07:44 |
| Tenshihan | your mom does | 07:44 |
| TerMight | Nope, sorry Tenshihan, that is not the answer. | 07:44 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | venger": actually i think it is something you have to set up - not a default right out of the box - not 100$% on that | 07:44 |
| grendal_prime | hutch? | 07:44 |

| johninlex | well I have conky finally working but I would like to move it to the bottom left rather than the top right | 07:47 |
| shentino | Will the install program ever support this or is a manual runaround the only way? | 07:47 |
| Esquilo | for example... I do wanna take a sceen shot and send you. There is any program, patch widget or any other thing that do it easier to me? grendal_prime | 07:47 |

| johninlex | <ushimitsudoki, well I have conky finally working but I would like to move it to the bottom left rather than the top right | 07:48 |
| Tenshihan | what would cause this to happen? | 07:48 |
| Tenshihan | 2)No such file or directory: exec of '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/hworld.pl' failed | 07:48 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | johninlex: look at the "alignment" setting. Will bottom_left do what you want? | 07:48 |
| Joshooa | Tenshihan: hello world in that location didn't work cause the file doesn't exist? | 07:48 |
| Tenshihan | the file exits | 07:48 |
| Tenshihan | or it'd 404 | 07:48 |
| Neseth | Esquilo man, there is a nice curl script that do basicaly the same thing | 07:49 |
| johninlex | bottom left | 07:49 |
| Tenshihan | that's only a helloworld program too | 07:49 |
| Esquilo | humm | 07:49 |
| grendal_prime | couple of things would be easyer(relative phrase) One of wich, simply vnc out your desktop (view only) the other would be set up a web server on your machine, save your screen shot there and send the ip to me. | 07:49 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | johninlex: You might want something like this in your ~/.conkyrc: "alignment bottom_left" (no quotes in actual file) | 07:50 |
| grendal_prime | those are two that come to mind anyway. | 07:50 |
| johninlex | ushimitsudoki # Text alignment, other possible values are commented | 07:50 |

| Sahil | kennyyu: i hope it supports all codecs | 08:04 |

| shentino | All your base are belong to us | 08:06 |
| Esquilo | ¬¬ | 08:06 |
| snegtul | i am certain there's a tool that a fellow hacker has made to do just that, its just a matter of googling to find it =) | 08:06 |
| kennyyu | Sahil: not sure if it can be for divx. but it's sure for mp3... | 08:06 |

| snegtul | try that esquilo? | 08:07 |
| Sahil | kennyyu: I have installed one before but i have forgotten the name | 08:07 |
| snegtul | Photo uploader is a command line utility (and Python module) for | 08:07 |
| snegtul | uploading photos to minilabs for printing or to any service for image | 08:07 |
| snegtul | hosting. It currently supports only a few minilab services in Czechia | 08:07 |
| snegtul | and some hosting services like ImageShack, but can be easily extended | 08:07 |

| pcuser | Guys, I have a presentation on monday to explain the insecurities of WEP. I completed the project but I would like to demonstrate how easy it is to crack it. I was able to do this before with my Alpha Network AUS036H usb wifi card (rtl8187) on Fedora 7. I've applied the patch and installed aircrack but it's not working. | 08:13 |
| Neseth | Wannabe u can try reconfiguring xorg | 08:13 |
| ushimitsudoki | joakim: do you really need sessions for that? you could use fusion icon and toggle compiz on and off from the panel? | 08:13 |
| pcuser | anyone here feel like trying to help me on this? | 08:14 |
| snegtul | Sahil, its weekend time mate, i'm half-in-the-bag =) | 08:14 |
| Neseth | pcuser if u need and distro with patchs for wirelles sharking, u should try backtrack | 08:14 |
| Neseth | pcuser it comes with a lot of patched drivers | 08:14 |
| joakim | ushimitsudoki: well, I guess you are right. How do ii make this fusion icon? | 08:15 |
| Wannabe | Neseth, whats the cmd for that? | 08:15 |
| pcuser | ya, that's what my buddy was telling me. I would still like to get it going though in Ubuntu 8.04 | 08:15 |
| Neseth | Wannabe xorgconfig | 08:16 |
| ushimitsudoki | joakim: package is in the repos: "sudo apt-get install fusion-icon" | 08:16 |
| joakim | Is it like a panel icon that I just click to turn it on and off? That sounds kind of greate actually | 08:16 |
| snegtul | heh this almost like when the #gentoo channel was new, we devs used to be able to help people | 08:16 |
| orly_owl | http://pastebin.ca/1195537 Any ideas? | 08:16 |
| snegtul | i had thought #ubuntu was super busy | 08:16 |
| Wannabe | Neseth, like dpkg -r xorg ? | 08:16 |
| ushimitsudoki | joakim: exactly. i use it under xfce to switch on/off compiz/emerald (although i am using compiz less and less, since xfwm now has compositing built in) | 08:17 |
| Sahil | people tell me package for playing audio and video | 08:17 |
| Neseth | Wannabe dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:17 |
| snegtul | hell i remember having the ability to be helpful on #debian too | 08:17 |
| joakim | ushimitsudoki: greate help! I ran the code in the terminal, now where is my icon? =) Do I have to reboot? | 08:18 |
| ushimitsudoki | Sahil: already told you ubuntu-restricted-extras. if you need more obscure codecs you will have to search those out specifically | 08:18 |
| Neseth | pcuser i'm reading the hcl wiki, http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php/HCL:Wireless, it would do, ur card is totally suported, including injection | 08:18 |

| Sahil | ushimitsudoki: please give me the package name | 08:18 |
| pcuser | does this tell me that it's not going into monitor mode? | 08:19 |

| pcuser | well, i applied the correct patch just to let you know. And followed the instruction from aircrack and it applied successfully. I was just curious as to why my packet injection is not working. I followed the exact same steps in FC and had no problems | 08:24 |

| ushimitsudoki | Parsec300: i don't have that problem. my truecrypt container is read write | 08:25 |
| helpeur | rc.epiknet.org | 08:25 |

| joakim | ushimitsudoki: One more thing; I want to ad compiz to the autostarted applications to, what line of code is that? "compiz --replace"? | 08:26 |

| ushimitsudoki | nnull: you can tunnel vnc through an ssh connection ... that is simpler than setting up a vpn i think | 08:30 |

| zoed | hi. On a computer of mine running xubuntu, the screen resolution changes randomly when rebooting. I mean: most of the time, after booting, gdm and X have the correct resolutions, but sometimes after booting their resolution is way to low. The live-cd (xubuntu) detected the correct resolution, I copied over the xorg.conf from the live cd, but the problem still persists. Can anybody help me to get the correct resolution at every boot? | 08:32 |
| ushimitsudoki | Parsec300: wouldn't know about OSX | 08:32 |
| nnull | ok cool, and what vnc server would you recommend for windows xp? | 08:32 |
| pcuser | get my rtl8187 alpha Network AWSUS036H working with packet injection, i had this working on FC7 until i installed ubuntu | 08:32 |
| pcuser | it's for a presentation at school on Monday | 08:32 |
| Parsec300 | ushimitsudoki, same problem for me under Ubuntu though. | 08:32 |
| shentino | what's packet injection? | 08:32 |
| nnull | ushimitsudoki, ok cool, and what vnc server would you recommend for windows xp? | 08:32 |
| remote | pcuser: were you using the same driver? | 08:33 |
| ushimitsudoki | nnull: real vnc i guess ... i don't take winxp seriously so take it for what it's worth | 08:33 |
| nnull | shentino, its where you inject yourself with internet data, its a dangerous drug habit | 08:33 |
| Neseth | nnull on my xp i use tightvnc server, it do the job quite well | 08:33 |
| pcuser | shit, i can't remember.. i installed it a couple of months ago to get internet for my buddy since he was broke :-p | 08:33 |
| nnull | ok cheers | 08:34 |
| ushimitsudoki | Parsec300: any errors or anything? | 08:34 |
| nnull | ushimitsudoki, yea well XP is the best os for what that pc does (rips movies/office stuff) | 08:34 |
| pcuser | i think i'm going to have to go with bt3 | 08:34 |
| nnull | its a old box | 08:34 |
| n3m0 | anyone mind checking there iptables and see if there is a chain called ALLOW_IP there | 08:35 |
| Neseth | pcuser the live cd does the sharking quite well, u wont even need to install it | 08:35 |
| pcuser | i can't wast to much time since i need to build a security system using mindzone | 08:35 |
| n3m0 | thats anyone who is on a hardy/intrepid box | 08:35 |
| zoed | on xubuntu, my screen resolution changes randomly when I boot. | 08:36 |
| Parsec300 | ushimitsudoki, only that there's no mountable filesystem. It will mount though, if I specify read-only | 08:36 |
| shentino | Oh that reminds me | 08:36 |
| shentino | I just did a double dist-upgrade starting from 7.04 | 08:36 |
| shentino | and my gdm's screenres is 1280x768 something. | 08:37 |
| pcuser | sorry oops, security system will be using zoneminders | 08:37 |
| pcuser | it looks kick ass | 08:37 |
| shentino | How do yoyu configure the display manager itself to use a specific resolution? | 08:37 |
| ushimitsudoki | Parsec300: i just busted out my USB drive on truecrypt and mounted it up and copied a few files to it. I can only tell you that the problem is not inherent in truecrypt - maybe it was created read-only or there are mounting permission problems or something | 08:37 |

| Parsec300 | ushimitsudoki, so, you encrypted an entire partition? | 08:41 |
| Parsec300 | Perhaps that is why it works and not with me | 08:41 |
| computer | oops wrong channel | 08:42 |
| ushimitsudoki | Parsec300: the entire drive | 08:42 |
| lint | can someone tell me how to make it so that my windows dont snap to the edges of the screen? | 08:42 |

| YoG | Hi, how do I enable suspend on my desktop? | 08:44 |
| remote | selew: execute it | 08:45 |
| zoed | can somebody help me with my randomly changing resolution (xubuntu)? | 08:46 |
| cads | I've got a bunch of symptoms with my ubuntu installation, was wondering if you guys know any resources for troubleshooting and debugging these issues myself | 08:46 |
| remote | yes google usually | 08:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | cads: that's gotta be the best question I've ever seen here | 08:46 |
| selew | the type of the file is not supported | 08:46 |
| remote | selew: what type of file is it, yo? | 08:46 |
| selew | this is the message that i get | 08:47 |
| abchirk | hi | 08:47 |
| remote | yes! | 08:47 |
| remote | an error | 08:47 |
| selew | yes | 08:47 |
| selew | .bin | 08:47 |
| cads | remote, google doesn't help a whole lot; I can look up many bug reports but what I'd like is to know how to fix them | 08:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | cads: can you be more specific about the problems? | 08:47 |
| remote | selew: that is the extention, it doesn't tell me what _type_ of file it is | 08:47 |
| cads | sure | 08:47 |
| abchirk | If I have something like this -> Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x ... stands the x for any number? so it could be 5 doesn't matter? | 08:48 |
| Rat409 | selew: i'd make a folder call it rp realplay whatever then in xterm cd to folder,./bla.bin,cd to the hxsetup,read install/readme then ./realplay after making it executable(the .bin file) | 08:48 |
| selew | RealPlayer11GOLD.bin | 08:48 |
| joot | cads: ubuntu forums new user can be almost as quick as here | 08:48 |
| cads | there are enough problems that I ought to make a forum post | 08:48 |
| Rat409 | selew: it uunpacks contents and Desktop isn't best folder | 08:49 |
| remote | Rat409: that's not his problem | 08:49 |
| cads | well let me state one problem and see what you guys think | 08:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | cads: Start with a couple of the big ones | 08:49 |
| remote | cads: so far so good | 08:49 |
| vina | hai | 08:50 |
| Rat409 | well i've done it in a dozen distros and said make it executeable the run the .bin file(most are installers | 08:51 |
| cads | document viewer is unstable, opening pdfs can sometimes cause it to open and crash immediately. Right now I opened a pdf file by clicking it on the desktop. Document viewer did not come up, but the desktop window has completely locked down i.e. I can't move the focus to other icons | 08:51 |
| selew | toxovolos@toxovolos-desktop:-$ this is the path in terminal window | 08:51 |
| selew | this path is the desktop ? | 08:51 |
| selew | or not? | 08:51 |
| Rat409 | selew: cd ~/.Desktop | 08:51 |
| cads | I'm not concerned about document viewer so much as how it blocks the desktop; sometimes the menus stop working | 08:52 |
| selew | No such file or directory | 08:52 |
| mecha | newb here. tried installing nvidia-glx-new and i only get a resolution of 640 x 350. i know my monitor can handle at least 1024 x 768 | 08:52 |
| cads | sometimes the problem starts with firefox instead of document viewer, or pidgin, or movie player | 08:52 |
| remote | cads: i use evince and it does read all pdf without problems | 08:52 |
| selew | when i type cd ~/.Desktop | 08:52 |
| arvind_k | mecha, do you have graphics card? | 08:52 |
| === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri | ||
| Rat409 | selew: use nautilus to find it then enable viewing hidden files | 08:53 |
| remote | mecha: well obviously it can handle 640x350 as well | 08:53 |
| ushimitsudoki | Rat409: ~/Desktop ? should not be hidden unless you are talking about some non-standard dir there | 08:53 |
| cads | remote, I use xpdf to avoid instability from evince and yeah, the pdfs are all fine | 08:54 |
| mecha | arvind_k: nvidia 5500 | 08:54 |
| CYberglO | hello all | 08:54 |
| Rat409 | sorry way too late/early here | 08:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | cads: That's a tough one... one suggestion: If you can reproduce the problem, run the document viewer from the CLI so you can see the error messages it spits out on crash | 08:54 |
| CYberglO | anyone can help me with SAMBA + PDC + XP ? | 08:54 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, which drivers? | 08:54 |
| cads | ah, that's an idea | 08:54 |
| remote | cads: can you reproduce the problem? | 08:54 |
| arvind_khadri | !envy | mecha | 08:54 |
| ubottu | mecha: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 08:54 |
| mecha | remote :/ | 08:54 |
| remote | mecha: did you had any question? | 08:55 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: i tried that | 08:55 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, so what happens? | 08:55 |
| cads | remote, it seems to happen after I've been logged in a couple hours | 08:55 |
| CYberglO | samba + pdc + xp in clients, could someone help me? | 08:55 |
| mecha | remote: how come i can't switch it through sreen resolution GUI? | 08:56 |
| remote | cads: i have no idea | 08:56 |
| cads | if it's not the document viewer problem it's a similar problem with firefox | 08:56 |
| remote | mecha: i don't know about screen resolution GUI | 08:56 |
| cads | let me describe one more problem | 08:56 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, gksu displayconfig-gtk | 08:56 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: it boots into 640 x 350 and in the resolution GUI its the highest res i can get | 08:56 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, gksu displayconfig-gtk | 08:56 |
| * [gnubie] waves to all.. i have to go now.. | 08:57 | |
| CYberglO | or restart, initialize ubuntu in secure mode, select the last option (restart X to default), and then edit xorg.conf to put the parameters there | 08:57 |
| CYberglO | samba + pdc + xp in clients, could someone help me? | 08:57 |
| rampageoberon | How can i check the settings for the hard drives spinning down after some time and where can i change this? | 08:58 |
| cads | this is the one with firefox. Sometimes after playing a few youtube videos the sound dies for my whole system. Just no more sound playback. At the same time, firefox when run too long begins to slow and then spontaneously crashes and halts my panels and desktop and other windows. | 08:58 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: still cant get anyhting higher. my monito is not in the list either | 08:58 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha try adding it and envy works the best... | 08:59 |
| remote | cads: when it happens try to find more information about the problem first, application errors and dmesg would be a good place to start looking | 08:59 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: how would i go about adding my monitor? | 08:59 |
| cads | pressing ctrl-alt-backspace and logging back in either doesn't fix the sound and firefox crashes soon after that again, or the login fails altogether, loading a blank screen without the desktop | 08:59 |
| cads | yeah, I'll try to collect some info and compose a forum entry | 09:00 |
| remote | yeah have a look at dmesg errors in that case and xorg logs | 09:00 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, click on the Model drop down menu | 09:00 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, btw was it working previously? | 09:01 |
| cads | I think it must be some driver misconfiguration | 09:02 |
| rampageoberon | Where are the settings to power down the hard drive if inactive ofr a while? | 09:02 |
| abchirk | Which HAL version is in the latest Hardy iso? Or where do I get this info? | 09:02 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: AG neovo F-15. not on the list. it was working before the nvidia-glx-new | 09:02 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, did you try restoring the xorg.conf? | 09:02 |
| Tenshihan | how do I apt-get upgrade perl to 5.10? | 09:03 |
| mecha | nope | 09:03 |
| Neseth | has some real advantage in using ipv6 ? not about "the ipv4 ips r going to end", but i mean a real advantage, should i use that ? | 09:03 |
| cads | remote, come to think of it, I have an idea... I've got a working debian system instaled on another partition which is considerably more stable... could I use that to compare the settings and see where debian is going wrong? | 09:03 |
| remote | Neseth: no. | 09:03 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: what dir is that in? | 09:03 |
| remote | cads: i don't see how since you have no idea what the problem is | 09:04 |
| Neseth | remote utorrent in windows makes a lot of publicity about enabling teredo/ipv6, thats sucks | 09:04 |
| arvind_khadri | mecha, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:04 |

| kulight | any one using/trying the 8.10 alpha 5 x64 ? im having trouble with the 2.6.27 kernel | 09:11 |
| remote | kulight: you asked that already | 09:11 |
| arvind_khadri | kulight, ask #ubuntu+1 | 09:11 |
| ushimitsudoki | kulight: you will have more luck in #ubuntu+1 i think | 09:11 |

| Pirate_Hunter | hi i wish to transfer files from one comp to another how do i do it as a network "i really havent done such a thing in ubuntu", both comps are linux? | 09:12 |
| === luser__ is now known as bringatowel | ||
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, rsync | 09:12 |
| kulight | ushimitsudoki: what is it #ubuntu+1 ? | 09:12 |
| Myrtti | kulight: a channel just like this | 09:12 |
| ushimitsudoki | kulight: it is the irc channel for the next version of ubuntu | 09:12 |
| kulight | ok thank u ill try threre | 09:13 |
| rampageoberon | Where are the settings to power down the hard drive if inactive ofr a while? | 09:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arvind_khadri: so that will allow me to transfer files from my ubuntu to xubuntu, I thoungt there would be an integrated system that would allow me to create the network like in windows | 09:13 |
| ushimitsudoki | Pirate_Hunter: I like NFS (if this is something you need to do often) check here and see if it helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 09:13 |
| remote | Pirate_Hunter: you can use rsync with ssh | 09:13 |
| computer | now what? | 09:13 |
| remote | Pirate_Hunter: samba | 09:13 |
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, you can access the computer's on the same netwrok... | 09:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | remote: linux to linux, ubuntu to xubuntu, ins't samba for linux to windows? | 09:14 |
| remote | Pirate_Hunter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 09:14 |
| remote | Pirate_Hunter: no. | 09:14 |
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, samba is for Windows | 09:14 |
| remote | you can setup NFS as well but i'd recommend samba | 09:14 |
| remote | arvind_khadri: it isn't. | 09:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | remote: that link says windows... but i could be wrong | 09:15 |
| remote | it says windows indeed | 09:15 |
| remote | but in what context did you read? | 09:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | remote: nope i stopped when it said windows connection and it was made by ..... | 09:16 |
| mecha | arvind_khadri: it says i dont have the permissions to resave as xorg.conf | 09:16 |
| remote | here: if you really want the directories mounted remotely to your computer(s) you need either samba or nfs and nfs will make your processes lock when unavailable and they will become zombie processes which sucks | 09:17 |
| remote | otherwise, go with rsync and ssh | 09:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | remote: i never used shh or rsync isnt there a link with a tut on how to do so? | 09:17 |
| remote | Pirate_Hunter: rsync is great, really. you just don't get the folders, you get to copy the folders through the network | 09:18 |
| remote | Pirate_Hunter: are you comfortable with using bash? | 09:18 |
| ari_stress | hi guys, i forget the name of program that can display your drive usage graphically | 09:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | remote: im guessing it is easy to setup than and what about ssh | 09:18 |

| kindofabuzz | fru_the_original, yeah, crtl -v or middle click | 09:41 |
| Polygon89 | abby87, the ipod is not formatted for ntfs. ipods are either formatted with fat32 or HFS+ | 09:42 |

| kindofabuzz | hischild, then it fails and that when i have to choose the connect to other | 09:55 |
| remote | Jakob_the_liar: because it runs within firefox? | 09:55 |
| remote | isn't that a firefox plugin, i ment to ask | 09:56 |
| hischild | kindofabuzz, does the router have a dhcp server? I've seen it before, was when the dhcp server was down on the server and it couldn't get an ip. That's where the second circle is for. The first one is for the connection to the router. | 09:56 |

| Polygon89 | Hink_, are you sure the BIOS detects the hard drive? | 10:07 |
| Hink_ | yepp | 10:07 |
| Hink_ | I have windows on the computer | 10:07 |
| Polygon89 | Hink_, hmm. | 10:07 |
| Polygon89 | Hink_, sudo fdisk -l | 10:07 |
| Hink_ | ok | 10:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hischild: the kids pc has firehol running while my main comp has nothing how can i connect | 10:07 |
| Polygon89 | Hink_,paste.ubuntu.com | 10:07 |
| Hink_ | ?? | 10:08 |
| Hink_ | sudo fdisk -l did not show anything | 10:08 |
| Polygon89 | Hink_, paste the output of sudo fdisk -l into that | 10:08 |
| hischild | Pirate_Hunter, a firewall can block the ssh connection. | 10:08 |
| Polygon89 | Hink_, hmm.....do you know the exact model of your hard drive? | 10:08 |
| Arthur | Hi people. Is there a way to include f-spot tags in "Tracker"? | 10:08 |
| Polygon89 | Hink_, i would try googling that along with 'ubuntu' or 'linux' to see if anyone has gotten it to work | 10:09 |
| hischild | Pirate_Hunter, so go to the pc you're trying to connect to, check if the firewall blocks it. | 10:09 |
| Hink_ | I could find it in a few seconds | 10:09 |
| Hink_ | I have tried googeling | 10:09 |
| Hink_ | some have problems | 10:09 |

| snadge | help.. i've reinstalled ubuntu and now with the nvidia drivers im limited to 1024x768 :( | 10:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hischild: i can ping to the ip on both | 10:10 |
| Ziroday | snadge: have you installed the nvidia drivers? | 10:10 |
| hischild | Pirate_Hunter, doesn't change my suggestion on what to do. :-) | 10:10 |
| snadge | using the hardware drivers in system -> administration yes | 10:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hischild: how do i check if the firewall blocks "i think i asked this previously" | 10:11 |
| Hink_ | WD5000AACS | 10:11 |
| Ziroday | snadge: try running the nvidia-settings config | 10:11 |
| snadge | and now the nvidia driver is working.. but its incorrectly detecting my maximum resolution as 1024 x 768 :/ | 10:11 |
| matty | www.localgeek.com.au go 2 it | 10:11 |
| matty | :) | 10:11 |
| hischild | Pirate_Hunter, i am unfamiliar with your firewall. It probably has a screen that shows you a log of what connections were blocked etc. | 10:11 |
| nnull | whats NFS | 10:11 |
| nnull | !nfs | 10:11 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 10:11 |
| snadge | Ziroday: nvidia-xconfig ? | 10:11 |
| Ziroday | snadge: open a terminal and type that in | 10:12 |
| Ziroday | snadge: and no, nvidia-settings | 10:12 |
| shappie | How do i get a clean xorg.conf file? | 10:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hischild: i know it does if it only had a gui | 10:12 |
| shappie | I need to do some configs but before that i have to get a clena xorg.conf | 10:12 |
| shappie | im using fglrx driver btw... | 10:12 |
| Ziroday | shappie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but backup your old one first | 10:12 |
| shappie | in recovery mode? | 10:12 |
| Ziroday | shappie: no type that command in the terminal AFTER backing up your old xorg.conf | 10:13 |
| shappie | ok just in the normal session? | 10:13 |
| snadge | Ziroday: nvidia-settings works awesome.. thanks :) | 10:13 |
| Ziroday | shappie: yes | 10:13 |
| shappie | ok ty :) | 10:13 |
| shappie | i will be back when finished | 10:13 |

| hischild | Pirate_Hunter, if you open up a console, it's the name that's on the command line. alternative, use this --> cat /etc/hostname | 10:22 |
| hischild | pRoFiOn, yes | 10:22 |
| pRoFiOn | wait a sec, ill try it | 10:22 |
| hischild | adante, i have no experience with kernel config. All i know is that that page shows you info. Also, since the file .config starts with a period it's hidden by default. | 10:22 |

| LordMetroid | Polygon89, I have tried em and it didn't work either, new laptop... can't afford it | 10:28 |

| oholiks | morningwalker: what kind of comments are you looking for, it's a basic firewall script with some well known ports? | 10:34 |
| hischild | ali[n], pRoFiOn i'm having some lag issues here so text comes in 2 screens at a time. | 10:34 |
| hischild | pRoFiOn, seen what? the pings? yes. Did you edit /etc/resolv.conf? | 10:34 |

| stefania | hi all. How to set server port on Evoltion account settings? thank you. | 10:35 |

| hischild | pRoFiOn, how do you mean made networking restart. | 10:36 |
| oholiks | morningwalker: even has comments on those not so well known ports :) | 10:36 |
| ali[n] | hischild: ok thankyou. | 10:37 |

| hischild | pRoFiOn, you don't have to restart netowrking. It will take effect immediately. | 10:37 |
| morningwalker | stefania, similarly for sending it should be imap.gmail.com:993 | 10:37 |
| pRoFiOn | hischild - i know.. but.. i don't know more, what to do | 10:38 |
| thrope | hi - if I update from 7.10 to 8.04 is much likely to break? are they binary compatible? I'm thinking in terms of external apps like MATLAB, COMSOL, etc. and also a hand build numpy/scipy and other python modules | 10:38 |
| hischild | pRoFiOn, edit the file and check if you can ping for example google.com. if not | 10:38 |

| natalisushka | Hello peeps. Please help me solve some problems with my ubuntu 8.04 .. First problem is with my sound, I noticed that if I am playing music using any audio app or video with sound, when I try to listen to music online or watch a video on youtube or try to run any sound from the web, it doesn't work unless I switch music off. And vise-versa gets wrose, if I have played any sound on the web, I can't get music from my hd until I restart my comput | 10:39 |
| natalisushka | er. My Audio device is: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller .. what can I do? Is it possible to restart sound without rebooting my system? | 10:39 |
| jrib | thrope: nothing from the repositories should break. But you should always have backups | 10:39 |
| morningwalker | natalisuskha, recommended to restart | 10:39 |
| IntangibleLiquid | my sister just bought an Inspiron 1420 with WinXP. I want to transfer all my files to her laptop so that I can do a full reinstall of Ubuntu and convert all of my current partitions to Ext3. How do I do that? | 10:39 |
| Ziroday | natalisushka: this is an issue of how ubuntu sets up pulseaudio, lemme find you a link | 10:40 |
| jrib | natalisushka: it's an issue with flash and pulseaudio. Do you have libflashsupport installed? | 10:40 |
| morningwalker | or install drivers for your sound card if available... could work out better later on | 10:40 |
| natalisushka | jrib, let me check | 10:40 |

| pRoFiOn | i edited that file | 10:42 |
| oholiks | morningwalker: saying if that script is "trustable" for your environment is like trying to predict a cars mileage by looking at the paint, it's a perfectly valid firewall script that will protect your computer just fine, probably will make it a bit hard to use with unknown outbound services tho but thats not hard to fix | 10:42 |
| erUSUL | damo: System>Admin>Printers | 10:42 |
| hischild | pRoFiOn, do you have static ip? | 10:42 |
| thrope | jrib: thanks - it's mainly stuff not from the repository I was asking about - I wanted to know if they maintain binary compatibility ie for MATLAB (linked on install), numpy/scipy (handbuilt) or if those things are likely to need a reinstall | 10:43 |
| pRoFiOn | hischild - check this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/43870/ - here are setups | 10:43 |
| natalisushka | jrib, I thought it's a flash issue that is taking my sound, but when i for example am working with gmail built-in chat, and I get this sound when someone just sent me a message when the gmail tab isn't open, I loose the sound. | 10:43 |
| natalisushka | jrib, libflashsupport isn't installed | 10:43 |
| pRoFiOn | hischild - yes, it's static | 10:44 |

| IndyGunFreak | IntangibleLiquid: what do you mean how do you do that? | 10:45 |
| natalisushka | So what does libflashsupport actually do? | 10:45 |
| jrib | thrope: don't know. My guess is that your python modules will be fine (the custom ones I have were) | 10:46 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: probably just logging out and log in again suffices | 10:46 |

| natalisushka | erUSUL, So you think this will solve the issue ? | 10:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | IntangibleLiquid: why not just use an external drive, or burn some Cd/DVDs, etc. | 10:47 |

| erUSUL | notwist: is: sudo ifconfig eth2 addr 192.168.2.1 up | 10:49 |
| erUSUL | notwist: you should be using the interfaces conf file (man interfaces) | 10:50 |
| damo | how can i get my lexmark X1270 working System>Admin>Printers does not suppor my printer | 10:50 |
| hischild | pRoFiOn, hmm ... seems i misread that command and you do have a default gateway ... leaves me to a mistery ... sorry :( | 10:50 |
| DIFH-iceroot | damo: is there a driver at the lexmark-site? | 10:51 |
| pRoFiOn | hischild - please check this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43870/ - maybe U find something wrong | 10:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | damo: or is this a postscript-printer and you can use postscript? | 10:51 |
| erUSUL | damo: probably just googling "ubuntu hardy lexmark X1270" gives usefull results | 10:51 |
| lumpy | i have problem with dead keyboard after suspend in gnome | 10:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | damo: it seems the scanner should work "out of the box".... the printer seems a bit more tricky | 10:52 |
| lumpy | know somethink ? | 10:52 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, before I try that, I'd like to ask about another issue that I am having. I believe the issue is with my VGA, before installing 8.04, my usb mouse and other usb devices were working fine. Now when I start up many apps or minimize or maximize a lot or switching between apps using tab+alt (anything that makes vga exhausted) my USBs stuck, and mouse stops working (only mouse pad works).. Now that's when my visual effects are set to none. | 10:53 |
| natalisushka | When effects are set to normal, after the same intense of usage, my computer logs out to a unix screen (same that appears the moment you press ctrl+alt+bs) but it just hangs forever until reboot. | 10:53 |
| damo | okies | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: seems like a bug with the graphics driversor the kernel or both... hard to fix. do you see anything on the system logs? /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog | 10:55 |
| shappie | Hi aal | 10:55 |
| shappie | ll | 10:55 |
| shappie | I finally got my dualhead setup working on a ATi card | 10:55 |
| shappie | With some xorg.conf tweaks i can select: One Big Desktop in the ATi catalyst control center | 10:56 |
| shappie | and then everything works great! | 10:56 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, I am not very much familiar with the logs .. what must I actually see to know what's wrong? plus, if this is hard to fix, is there a way to restart my USBs (when my visual effects are none)? | 10:56 |
| shappie | the only problem left is that after a reboot its gone... | 10:56 |
| shappie | Then i have to select One Big Desktop again in Ati catalyst control center | 10:56 |
| natalisushka | hischild, Ok :) sorry, can we go private? | 10:56 |
| shappie | Someone know how to keep the good settings after a reboot to? | 10:56 |
| hischild | natalisushka, if you have a question ask it in the channel. | 10:57 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: well if there is so kind of bug with usb at kernel level there should be what its called an oops http://kerneloops.org/raw.php?rawid=51161&msgid= | 10:58 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, ok I will check my log .. what about restarting USBs? | 11:00 |
| tclc | hey, i'm trying to get some help... i've just installed hardy on an ibook, using it right now... but have some questions. if there is anyone willing to chat, i'd appreciate it. | 11:00 |

| asho791 | hoe do I install tar.gz files? | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | shappie: never used the ati catalist center the nvidia-settings program has an option to save xorg.conf (must be run with gksu to work) | 11:02 |
| asho791 | *how | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | asho791: you shouldn't; what are you trying to install? | 11:02 |
| shappie | erUSUL: Yea i have the idea the catalyst center isnt saving the things to xorg.conf... You can only press aply and ok and i did both so... | 11:02 |
| asho791 | erUSUL: eclipse for jee | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | !eclipse | 11:03 |

| natalisushka | erUSUL, sorry I just forgot how to search using terminal for some word in a file. Do you know how? | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | !info eclipse | asho791 | 11:03 |
| ubottu | asho791: eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 126 kB, installed size 416 kB | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: you can use grep | 11:03 |
| tclc | thanks... ok. I've installed hardy on this ibook. G3, 700MHz, 384MB RAM. GNOME is pretty slow, unresponsive most of the time. Is this due to the slow hardware? Or is there some way possibly to get it running smoother? | 11:03 |

| assargadon | How it works and how to fix it, what subsystems included in it and so on | 11:05 |
| erUSUL | asho791: install it from Aplications>Add Remove or from synaptic | 11:05 |

| A[D]minS | DIFH-iceroot: this is the point we looking for something instead of deleting the partition | 11:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | A[D]minS: maybe fdisk can help, but i only know GUI-Solutions | 11:33 |

| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: didnt you just answered yourself | 11:34 |
| h0ax | no | 11:34 |
| h0ax | clearly not | 11:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: how do i cd into a removable drive "cd" is the comamnd you just need to know where the drive is mounted, mostly it is in media | 11:35 |
| h0ax | let me rephrase, how would i find out what my removable drive is called | 11:35 |
| h0ax | all thats in media is cd rom | 11:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: that means it is not mounted | 11:36 |
| h0ax | i know . | 11:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: if it is a hd that it would most like be /dev/sdb* depending on how many drives you got at the moment | 11:37 |
| h0ax | i know that.. | 11:37 |
| h0ax | i asked how i find out what the removable drive is called | 11:37 |
| natalisushka | lumpy, this is today's: http://pastebin.com/m5073c8ca | 11:37 |
| SaraSmith | we looked at the screen resolution page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto ... it says to get the refresh rate etc ..we can't find it for my husband's monitor.. it's a Gateway VX900 .. help? | 11:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: didnt ubuntu pick it up for you like in nautilus on the side pane would be your drive | 11:37 |
| lumpy | ok | 11:38 |
| h0ax | i'm not using gnome/kde ect. | 11:38 |
| h0ax | no gui | 11:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | SaraSmith: just use a generic resolution from displayconfig-gtk "must be done with sudo" | 11:38 |
| arvind_khadri | Pirate_Hunter, SaraSmith with gksu | 11:38 |
| arvind_khadri | !gksu | Pirate_Hunter | 11:38 |
| ubottu | Pirate_Hunter: 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) | 11:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: ahhh how annoying, havent done this in a long time will need to find a link for you | 11:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arvind_khadri: true i forgot | 11:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: this should be straight forward since youre already using cli http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133715 | 11:42 |
| h0ax | Pirate_Hunter, no | 11:42 |
| h0ax | that explains nothing | 11:43 |
| h0ax | you didn't read what i said | 11:43 |
| h0ax | i need to find out the name of the removable hardrive | 11:43 |
| h0ax | i.e /dev/sdb5 | 11:43 |
| Imogee | no08data | 11:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | h0ax: try sudo fdisk -l that should help but than if you have only 2 drives the third would be /dev/sdc1 it is quite logical | 11:44 |

| dr_willis | mrtimdog, i was thinking one was 'truely random' vs 'psuedo random' but this is some stuff ive only really just read/skimmed docs/threads about. | 13:37 |
| CSills | sorry | 13:37 |
| CSills | I cannot ping any hosts on my network from the Hardy Heron box | 13:37 |
| amanulla | i wanna use wine to use xp from ubuntu how to insatll it in ubntu ? | 13:38 |
| jrib | amanulla: wine doesn't do that. You can try to run windows executables through wine though. If you want to actually run windows, look into virtualization | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | CSills, i just 'cheat' and put in hostnames/ip#'s in the hosts file.. but im on a small lan with static ips. I may have to look into winbind. that may save me some time. | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, what do you mean by 'use xp' wine runs specific apps. Not the whole OS. | 13:39 |
| amanulla | do i need to format hdd to use virtualization | 13:39 |
| jrib | amanulla: no | 13:39 |
| jrib | !virtualizers | amanulla | 13:39 |
| ubottu | amanulla: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, wind doxent need any thing from windows at all. :) it dosent need to access a windows disk at all. | 13:40 |
| CSills | dr_willis: I have been looking into this as well but have not found the cause of it either. It is a strange problem and I have never had with previous versions of ubuntu | 13:40 |
| amanulla | dr_willis: my problem is im using gtalk,yahoo in xp there i can have voice chat with my friends but here im using all those in pidgin where voice chat is not allowed waht to do? | 13:41 |
| === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 | ||
| dr_willis | CSills, i rember some file in /etc/ that defines the order the system looks ups the hosts names, but im not on a linux box at the moment to double check | 13:41 |
| maniheer | /etc/rc.conf | 13:42 |
| amanulla | is it easy to configure vmware? | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, stop using IM clients to do voice chat? use a Voice chat client. :) I dont use those.. so no idea if they even work with voice in wine.. its very likely they WONT work properly in wine. | 13:42 |
| amanulla | how can i in ubuntu? | 13:42 |
| jrib | amanulla: I think virtualbox is the easiest to use personally | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | vmware/virtualbox are not too hard to use. | 13:42 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: vbox is much easier (imo) | 13:42 |
| amanulla | how to configure and use vbox? | 13:43 |
| CSills | dr_willis: Thanks I will keep looking into it on this side as well | 13:43 |
| jrib | !virtualbox | amanulla | 13:43 |
| ubottu | amanulla: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 13:43 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: look at the manual | 13:43 |
| balle_ | i have some trouble using the emerald themer, is this because i don't have compiz fusion or beryl or something? | 13:43 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, read its docs for a start? Install it.. run it.. pop in windows cd.. tell it to install from cd.. | 13:43 |
| dotancohen | amanulla: why don't you write to yahoo and tell them that there is interest in using the native messenger client in Linux. If we don't tell them, then they will never know. | 13:43 |
| amanulla | Voice chat client. means? | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | I dislike the native yahoo client (the wife uses it) due to all the spam it seems to force on her. | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, like skype | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | !im | 13:44 |
| ubottu | The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, and IRC. See also !Kopete | 13:44 |

| spiritssight | Is there any one willing to help edit a xorg.conf file to display on monitor the right resulatons, I got it displaying ok but its cutting off the bottom of the screen | 13:44 |

| laserbeak43 | and it gets better monthly it seems | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | I am amazed at people that use an IM client to Voice chat.. then use their cell phone to Text Message. :) | 13:45 |
| Znow | Im trying to play a video in VLC, but the sound wont come, why is that? | 13:45 |
| jrib | heh | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | Znow, possible a codec vlc dosent understand , if sound works otherwise | 13:45 |
| Znow | the video always works in VLC | 13:46 |
| Znow | is the same with other movies | 13:46 |
| onthefence9281 | why is it sucha bad idea to make my computer a single-user system? i want ubuntu to automatically boot into my user (non-admin) when i start up the computer. | 13:46 |
| jrib | onthefence9281: system -> administration -> login window | 13:46 |
| DIFH-iceroot | onthefence9281: in sytem-login screen enable this option | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | onthefence9281, if you dont have kids/wife/others with access.. go ahead.. If you do.. it would suck if the grandkids erased your files. | 13:47 |
| onthefence9281 | jrib, DIFH-iceroot, i know how, i just wanted to know why i was advised not to. | 13:47 |
| Aquahallic | I can't for the life of me remember where in gnome to go make another drop down menu on a panel... can someone give me a hint...:P | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | onthefence9281, I got mine set to autologin to a 'guest' type limited account. so the kids can web surf when they conme over. and thats all they can do | 13:47 |
| Phipho | jrib, i want ask some problem with my notebook | 13:47 |
| [nrx] | right click on the panel :) | 13:47 |
| onthefence9281 | dr_willis: anytime someone uses my computer i let them use my username anyways | 13:47 |
| Phipho | jrib, pls answer | 13:48 |
| jrib | Phipho: you can just go ahead and ask the channel, I'll try to help if I know | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | onthefence9281, Suite yoruself then.. do what you want.. just be aware of the risks | 13:48 |
| blankthemuffin_ | Hi, I'm having some small problems with the default Ubuntu processor frequency scalar. It seems that when I start doing something intensive( make -j2 ), plugged in or not, it scales the processor down to 1.6Ghz from the max of 2.2Ghz. Is there any way to curb this behaviour? | 13:48 |
| === blankthemuffin_ is now known as blankthemuffin | ||
| Phipho | jrib, i have notebook with vga sis 771/671 on ubuntu. but the resolution just 800x600 | 13:49 |
| Znow | dr_willis, how can I fix the sound? | 13:49 |
| onthefence9281 | dr_willis: yeah i'm the only linux user i hang around with so most people are afraid to explore my computer | 13:49 |
| Aquahallic | [nrx]: right clicking the panel only lets me add launchers.. not a drop down menu like.. Applications or Places.. | 13:49 |
| arvind_k | !anyone | Znow | 13:49 |
| ubottu | Znow: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 13:49 |
| jrib | onthefence9281: you have to ask the person who advised you for their reasons :) But, really it's just not a good idea if you don't want to give other people with physical acces to your computer, easy access to your account | 13:49 |
| Phipho | jrib, did you help e how to connect it to my ubuntu | 13:49 |
| dr_willis | Znow, do you have sound in other apps and just not movies? if so. it sounds like a sound codec issue. You do have the w32codecs package installed? | 13:49 |

| adante | hi, i have no System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager. And nvidia drivers is not an option in System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers --- how do i install the nvidia drivers? | 13:51 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: which card ? | 13:51 |
| jrib | adante: Hardware Drivers | 13:51 |
| arvind_k | !envy | adante | 13:52 |
| ubottu | adante: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 13:52 |
| jrib | arvind_k: erm, sorry I was scrolled up and your message got cut off | 13:52 |
| Znow | where do I get the w32package? | 13:52 |
| jrib | !medibuntu > Znow | 13:52 |
| ubottu | Znow, please see my private message | 13:52 |
| jrib | Znow: it's w32codecs | 13:52 |
| arvind_k | jrib, thats ok :) | 13:52 |
| ScheissDrogen | Znow: install restricted extras | 13:52 |
| Znow | ahh ok thanks | 13:52 |
| Znow | where in the menu? | 13:53 |
| adante | ScheissDrogen: ti420 i think | 13:53 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: nvidia HP ? look for linuxdriver | 13:53 |
| adante | jrib: so, envyng is ok to use? like, somewhere down the track i am not going to be told i am an idiot for using envy? :] | 13:53 |
| thirdy | my menu panel is not showing, how do I restore it? | 13:53 |
| adante | ScheissDrogen: say again? | 13:54 |
| arvind_k | adante, nope :) | 13:54 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: nvidia HP ? look for linuxdriver | 13:54 |
| Znow | ScheissDrogen - Where do I get the w32codevs? | 13:54 |
| adante | arvind_k: ok thanks :] | 13:54 |
| ScheissDrogen | Znow: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:54 |
| blankthemuffin | adante, envy is great. I usually do it manually but I used it the other day and it worked great. | 13:54 |
| Znow | thanks! | 13:54 |
| Aquahallic | [nrx]: I'mma 'tard.... there's a "drawer" option in add to panel.. :)... ty! | 13:55 |
| hischild | blankthemuffin, that something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone. I've heard stories of envy wrecking a system in minutes | 13:55 |
| adante | blankthemuffin: ok cheers | 13:55 |
| [nrx] | Aquahallic, so it'a s drawer you wanted :D | 13:55 |
| adante | hischild: lol i didn't need to hear that | 13:55 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: envyng is easier, latest drivers are available from hp of manufacturer, often | 13:55 |
| blankthemuffin | Sure hischild, but any recommendation is only based on one's own experience no? | 13:56 |
| Aquahallic | [nrx]: not really but it will work... .I really wanted a menu drop down... like "Applications" and "Places" is | 13:56 |
| aLeSD | hi | 13:56 |
| Aquahallic | I'm still gonna dig around to find where to add those.. I've seen it somewhere | 13:56 |
| aLeSD | I'm searching for a good photos application | 13:56 |
| hischild | adante, there's a difference between envy and envy-ng. The later is safer then the previous one | 13:56 |
| adante | ScheissDrogen: sorry what is 'hp' | 13:56 |
| aLeSD | I mean something similar to f-prot | 13:56 |
| zink055 | Help! I can't mount my ntfs drive! | 13:56 |
| aLeSD | but faster if it's possible | 13:56 |
| [nrx] | Aquahallic, if you right click on the panel, click 'Add to panel' in the list you can select 'Custom Menu' - that gives you the same menu system as Applications/System etc. You can then right click on that to edit the menu items :) | 13:56 |
| Znow | ScheissDrogen - ive installed what youve said, but still no sound? | 13:56 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: homepage ??!!! lol | 13:57 |

| hischild | blankthemuffin, one's own experience and the community | 13:57 |
| adante | hischild: oh, what does envy-ng offer extra? | 13:57 |
| jrib | adante: personally, I don't like envy | 13:57 |
| Phipho | ubottu, that not work bro | 13:57 |
| blankthemuffin | There is a certain amount of risk with any automated system, but generally there is less risk using something automated than something manual when one's unsure of or not experienced with the system they are working with. | 13:57 |

| mrxmike | what package contains the snd-hda-intel kernel module? | 13:57 |
| arvind_k | adante, envyng is community developed | 13:57 |
| Znow | Yes there is | 13:57 |
| Phipho | ubottu, did you have more sample | 13:57 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:57 |
| adante | jrib: well like i mentioned, i don't know how to install it otherwise. i know you said hardware drivers but there is no option for nvidia stuff in there for me | 13:57 |
| Znow | in audacity fx... but not in VLC | 13:57 |
| mrxmike | anyone? | 13:58 |
| adante | anyway, finished installing, time to reboot | 13:58 |
| arvind_k | jrib, but envyng is better in 8.04 than restricted drivers | 13:58 |
| ScheissDrogen | Znow: vlc brings its own codecs, anyway... alsamixer installed ? | 13:58 |
| jrib | adante: have you tried installing the appropriate nvidia-glx* package? | 13:58 |

| hischild | arvind_k, the restricted drivers that is. | 13:58 |

| ScheissDrogen | !who > Znow | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Znow, please see my private message | 13:58 |
| mrxmike | arvind_k: after some repos update, envy totally collapsed on my system yesterday | 13:58 |
| mrxmike | and it took 3 hours + a kernel purge to fix it | 13:59 |
| arvind_k | hischild, ya i know...they worked fine till 7.10 :) | 13:59 |
| Aquahallic | [nrx]: yes.. but that gives me a duplicate of all the menus.. "Applications" "Places" and "System" | 13:59 |
| Znow | ScheissDrogen - havent got that installed mate | 13:59 |
| blankthemuffin | The nvidia-glx packages are useless when you want to actually use your graphics card. | 13:59 |
| mrxmike | does anyone know what package contains the snd-hda-intel kernel module? | 13:59 |
| amikrop | Hello. Does anybody use a Toshiba Satellite A50, here? It is urgent. | 13:59 |
| [nrx] | Aquahallic, you can then go in and edit them to whatever you want :) | 13:59 |
| arvind_k | mrxmike, jrib, touch wood they never happened to me :) | 13:59 |
| Znow | ScheissDrogen - is it the gnome one? | 13:59 |
| hischild | arvind_k, i've had 7.10, 8.04 and 8.10 alpha and they all work out of the box with the restricted drivers (have to enable them ofc) | 13:59 |
| mzwo | greenhorn needs help with tascam us-122 - anyone? much obliged | 13:59 |
| ScheissDrogen | Znow: its not surface-independent .... | 14:00 |
| Znow | ScheissDrogen - huh? :D | 14:00 |
| arvind_k | hischild, happens :) it breaks my X in here ... | 14:00 |
| Znow | ScheissDrogen - didnt understand that | 14:00 |
| Aquahallic | [nrx]: Bahahahaha.... so simple it's stupid.... thanx [nrx] ! | 14:00 |
| blankthemuffin | The restricted drivers have no problems when updating the kernel, when the latest drivers are built by hand you simply have to re-build them after a kernel update - a simple process. | 14:00 |
| [nrx] | Aquahallic, no problem, enjoy :) | 14:00 |
| jrib | blankthemuffin: defeats the whole point of APT | 14:01 |
| blankthemuffin | jrib, I'm not using apt when I build them by hand. | 14:01 |
| ScheissDrogen | Znow: install that , reboot, then apps>multimedia>alsamixer : http://paste.ubuntu.com/43923/ | 14:02 |
| fronz | bgbgf | 14:02 |
| hischild | arvind_k, there are people who need them, ofc. However, recommending something because there are a few people who need it is not recommended. Check !worksforme. | 14:02 |
| jrib | blankthemuffin: the whole point of APT is so I can upgrade without getting my hands dirty | 14:02 |
| blankthemuffin | jrib, there are plenty of instances where apt just doesn't have up-to-date packages, building by hand or a automated script are the only options. | 14:02 |
| orioncap33 | 영어로만...? | 14:02 |
| mzwo | greenhorn needs help with tascam us-122 - anyone? much obliged | 14:02 |
| hischild | blankthemuffin, there usually is a reason why apt isn't updated then. for example stability | 14:02 |
| tim1 | dose any one know where i can find this, its a list off many ips that advertise on Internet sites and you can block them pacifically. | 14:02 |
| arvind_k | hischild, i know :) i never did that ... :) | 14:02 |

| ShackJack | Hi all question re: Open torrent files from Firefox with Transmission. I get an "unknown error" and it suggest I try saving the file first. I tried selecting "open with /usr/bin/transmission" which works once, but on subsequent clicks just download the .torrent files in /tmp - any suggestions? | 14:03 |
| tim1 | I have 70% cpu because of animated adds | 14:03 |
| ScheissDrogen | Znow: cu soon | 14:03 |
| mrxmike | does anyone know what package contains the snd-hda-intel kernel module? | 14:03 |
| DIFH-iceroot | tim1: firefox adblocker | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | tim1, there used to be a hosts blacklist site.. or use the adblock firefox extension. Or perhaps privoxy proxy.. or all 3! | 14:03 |
| blankthemuffin | Since I'm a developer I need the latest packages a lot of the time. And since I develop graphical applications I need the latest video drivers. I'm not saying that this is the best option for everybody, nor am I saying that I don't prefer to use apt, but on some occasions it's just not an option. | 14:04 |
| ScheissDrogen | tim1 : in webbrowser ? try no script and adblock for firefox | 14:04 |
| mzwo | ScheissDrogen: you seem to know your way round sound issues, familiar with the tascam us-122? | 14:04 |
| DIFH-iceroot | mrxmike: you can search with "sudo apt-cache search STRING" | 14:04 |
| hischild | ShackJack, i've had it before. Save the file and then open it with transmission (just drag the file on there) | 14:04 |
| adante | well envyng didn't work | 14:04 |
| jrib | blankthemuffin: of course, it's perfectly fine if you don't mind that extra hassle | 14:04 |

| blankthemuffin | What do you mean by didn't work adante, also what graphics card do you have? | 14:04 |

| tim1 | ok i found it dose any one know how I can put the host file to use http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, vbox is the kind of app you really shoule read about. | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | tim1, append it to your existing hosts file . is one way | 14:08 |
| blankthemuffin | Well I suppose your choices now are to uninstall everything done by envy ( "envyng --uninstall-all" ) then either use the standard packages which are fine for basic use, or use the latest from the nvidia site which means you have to install them manually and re-run the installer every time you update kernel. | 14:08 |
| amanulla | ok | 14:08 |
| ShackJack | Anyone have a fix for this? When I open torrent files from Firefox with Transmission I get an "unknown error" and it suggest I try saving the file first.

I want to be able to click the file and have it open in Transmission without having to save it first... | 14:08 |

| ubottu | daredemo: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 14:10 |
| DIFH-iceroot | daredemo: libdvdcss | 14:10 |
| lirel | is there a way to get intrepids newhuman theme run in hardy? want! want! want! | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | I thought mint came with that... | 14:10 |
| adante | blankthemuffin: if i want the standard packages what do i install? nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel? | 14:10 |
| DIFH-iceroot | what is libdvdccs2? i only know libdvdcss | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | DIFH-iceroot, a updatee version I am guessing. :) | 14:11 |
| daredemo | dr_willis, DIFH-iceroot, I have it installed, I guess, but it doesn't seem to work | 14:11 |
| dr_willis | daredemo, no idea on that. I install the medibunti package and i can play mine. | 14:11 |
| blankthemuffin | adante, if you go into System->Administration->Hardware Drivers you should be able to enable them there. | 14:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | dr_willis: :) i am interessted what is updated, maybe i will have a log at the change.log | 14:11 |
| dr_willis | daredemo, try sme other playres, run them from terminal, look for error messages | 14:11 |
| dr_willis | DIFH-iceroot, proberly optmized some stuff would be my guess. or bug/security fixs | 14:12 |
| adante | blankthemuffin: unfortunately the only thing i can see in there for nvidia is the framebuffer driver | 14:12 |

| ubuntu_ | ok | 14:14 |
| ubuntu_ | done | 14:15 |
| ubuntu_ | the thing is i want it to re detect my installed os, because now i have like 8 diffrent grub lines installed when i boot | 14:15 |
| hischild | arvind_k, one person please (no offense) | 14:15 |
| ScheissDrogen | mzwo : couldn't find it in alsa or in hw-database, but you can pm me to try manaually build it, usb cards often work (shure its not the 224 ?) | 14:15 |
| ubuntu_ | and no one works | 14:15 |

| tj83 | vi newb here...... I am trying to make the step from nano to vi for my cli text editor... however i seem to have trouble with the command mode functioning properly in ubuntu. when i start the program i can enter insert mode fine and edit text, however when pressing escape it does not seem to return me back to command mode. has anyone else experience this? | 14:16 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, ok now describe the situation first please. Apparently you still have grub, but with more then one line. | 14:16 |
| amanulla | recently i configured my graphic card in ubuntu now im getting a message at start up like this"u are now running at a low graphic mode so to get advanced effects configure ur graphic card" | 14:16 |
| amanulla | what to do? | 14:16 |
| ubuntu_ | yup i tried to install grub with the last one i had, (recovere) but now it cant even start windows or ubuntu, and i guess i just need a clean install of grub | 14:17 |
| zink055 | THANK YOU! You fixed my computer! | 14:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: configure your graphiccard | 14:17 |
| arvind_k | tj83, how do you know it does not return ?? | 14:17 |
| ScheissDrogen | tj83: man nano or use gedit... | 14:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: use the ubuntu system-menue | 14:17 |
| adante | can someone tell me, if i want to install the nvidia drivers from the command line, what packages do i need? | 14:17 |
| arvind_k | tj83, btw use vim... its easier | 14:17 |

| tj83 | arvind_k, ScheissDrogen this is really important to be able to use vi. | 14:18 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, do you know how to mount your system drive? | 14:18 |
| ubuntu_ | no :på | 14:19 |
| amanulla | kde/gnome/xfce4 what to do with this? | 14:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ShackJack: add the extension to firefox and give there the application to handle it | 14:19 |
| mzwo | ScheissDrogen: am certain it's the us-122. that's waht is says on the box, anyways :-) pm coming | 14:19 |
| ubuntu_ | hischild: u mean my ubuntu filesystem? | 14:19 |
| arvind_k | tj83, vim is the same too | 14:19 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, yes | 14:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: what are you using? ikde, gnome, xfce4? | 14:19 |
| ScheissDrogen | tj83: man vi | 14:19 |
| ubuntu_ | hischild: it is mounted | 14:19 |
| ShackJack | DIFH-iceroot: Hi Tried that - see original question... | 14:19 |
| amanulla | ubuntu 8.04 | 14:19 |
| tj83 | arvind_k, , well.... i will be attending school at ITT and need to use vi specifically but thanks for the suggestion | 14:19 |

| daredemo | when I try to run the DVD from terminal, mplayer shows a lot of errors saying "CRC check failed" | 14:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | differentreality: click on system and look for screen-resolution or something like that | 14:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | differentreality: sorry | 14:20 |

| tj83 | ScheissDrogen, yes.. have read man and also this tutorial http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/vi.html#intro | 14:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: click on system and look for screen-resolution or something like that | 14:21 |
| amanulla | ok | 14:21 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, open a terminal. Then type this and substitute the <media> for the location of your drive --> sudo chroot <media> | 14:21 |
| amanulla | i have system ->preferences->screen resolution | 14:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amikrop: or use xrandr 1024x668 | 14:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | 768 | 14:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | or what ever you like | 14:21 |
| ubuntu_ | hischild: i dont understand what to tyoe in <media> | 14:22 |
| amanulla | then? | 14:22 |
| daredemo | dr_willis, dirty disk? | 14:22 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: what then? | 14:22 |
| DIFH-iceroot | amanulla: please read the manual or something and dont ask every click | 14:22 |

| ubuntu_ | i dont think u will understand | 14:24 |
| daredemo | ubuntu only plays non-encrupted DVD even when I have libdvdcss2 installed | 14:24 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, you only have the paste me the final line, it's a weblink | 14:24 |
| dr_willis | daredemo, i mean that specific dvd disk could have a fingerprint on it.. Other then that.. crc erorrs normally mean its having problems reading the drive/disk from what ive seen. | 14:24 |

| daredemo | dr_willis, no it doesn't | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_ | The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_ | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_ | You will have to enable the component called 'universe' | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_ | bash: pastebinit: command not found | 14:25 |
| FloodBot1 | ubuntu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_ | thats my message i got | 14:25 |
| LjL | ubuntu_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 14:25 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, don't paste in this channel. | 14:25 |
| daredemo | dr_willis, I'm telling this is not a single incident, all of my DVD that are copy protected fail to play in ubuntu | 14:25 |
| hischild | LjL, apparently not avaiable on the live cd. | 14:25 |
| ubuntu_ | aren't i allowed to paste max 5 lines? | 14:25 |
| LjL | hischild: well, you can still install stuff from the live cd... although, possibly, universe is not enabled | 14:26 |
| dr_willis | daredemo, sounds like the decss stuff isent isntalled/seen/being used then | 14:26 |
| hischild | LjL, appears to be the case. | 14:26 |
| daredemo | lirel, when I try vlc in linux mint, it fails to play copy protected dvds | 14:26 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, can you pm me the output of the command mount? | 14:26 |
| LjL | ubuntu_: that's too much for a channel with 1300 people in it. you really should ask questions in one line, and use the pastebin for error messages and such | 14:26 |
| daredemo | dr_willis, what can I do to make decss work? | 14:26 |
| ubuntu_ | it couldnt find pastebininit | 14:27 |
| lirel | which version of libdvdcss did you install? | 14:27 |
| blankthemuffin | lol, for a channel with 1337 people in it. | 14:27 |

| ubuntu_ | hischild: it couldnt find the package | 14:28 |
| arvind_k | ubuntu_, are you on the terminal? | 14:28 |
| ubuntu_ | ya | 14:28 |

| DIFH-iceroot | adante: new nvidia-cards are not supportet at the moment | 14:31 |
| dr_willis | adante, ive notice that on some nvidia cards. the tool doseent recoginze them as being nvidia cards. | 14:31 |
| ubuntu_ | sudo pico fstab | 14:32 |
| ubuntu_ | use pico | 14:32 |
| adante | DIFH-iceroot: i have an old nvidia card | 14:32 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: model again | 14:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | adante: what is "old"? | 14:32 |
| adante | DIFH-iceroot: ti420, worked fine using the 169 drivers under 7.10 | 14:33 |
| adityag | is it possible to get the ip addresses of the people i can see in the explorer when i open network? | 14:33 |
| eight | OrangeKyo: use the right path | 14:33 |
| adante | ScheissDrogen: ti420 | 14:33 |
| adante | DIFH-iceroot: i upgraded dist and everything exploded | 14:33 |
| OrangeKyo | eight: i'm already in the /etc/ directory | 14:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | adante: so a geforce 4 is it? | 14:33 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200-4800 ?? | 14:33 |
| adante | DIFH-iceroot: yeah | 14:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | adante: i think gf4 is legacy-driver | 14:34 |
| eight | OrangeKyo: then try another editor, like nano | 14:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | adante: there are the "old" cards | 14:34 |
| adante | ScheissDrogen: that'd be it i guess | 14:34 |
| OrangeKyo | eight: nvm pico worked, ty | 14:34 |
| ScheissDrogen | adante: im little busy now, but can tell you already its suported | 14:34 |
| adityag | is it possible to get the ip addresses of the people i can see in the explorer when i open network? | 14:34 |
| eight | OrangeKyo: nano=pico... also you may try running gedit with gksudo | 14:35 |
| adante | DIFH-iceroot: hm ok | 14:35 |

| wers | i just bought a laptop. it has 160gb hd. is it fine to make 5 partitions on it? I'm going to install 3 OSs and the two other partitions are for /home and swap | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | daredemo: works for most people you have to be more precise on what does not work | 15:02 |
| daredemo | I have libdvdcss2 installed, but it doesn't work | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | !doesntwork | daredemo | 15:02 |
| ubottu | daredemo: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | daredemo: and all the dvd you tries failed? or only one? what dvd player are you using? tried others? | 15:03 |
| ScheissDrogen | wers: 4 primary partis are allowed, but you can create an extended on each that can contain more than enough partis | 15:03 |
| daredemo | erUSUL, all copy protected dvds fail, non protected play | 15:03 |
| icedwater | On Hardy it seems to be libdvdread3? | 15:04 |

| carrera | Greetings! | 15:05 |
| ThePub | don't the dvd instructions plainly say to run protected DVDs you need to run a script out of /usr/share/dvd(something)? | 15:06 |

| carrera | would someone be kind enough to help me with compile options? | 15:17 |
| arvind_khadri | ubuntu, find /boot/grub/stage1 | 15:17 |
| jjlee | ddoom: use aptitude search to find the name of the package, then dpkg -L to find out what files the package installs -- grepping through that in less will probably give you what you want | 15:17 |
| wers | ScheissDrogen, ooh. that's not a problem because i can have 4 partitions and 1 swap, right? :D | 15:17 |
| arvind_khadri | carrera, what do you want to compile? | 15:17 |

| Dezin1 | There's something seriously wrong with my hardware. I'm positive it has nothing to do with Ubuntu.. It randomly crashes, I think it's the video card. I'll be doing something and the screen glitches out and I have to restart. Is there anyway to log everything and see what is happening when I get back into the system? | 15:20 |
| arvind_khadri | ubuntu, ok so when you reboot grub doesnt show up? | 15:20 |
| daredemo | erUSUL, no, I haven't tried xine-ui, but vlc failed too | 15:21 |
| erUSUL | daredemo: same error? | 15:21 |

| litage | i have an old laptop with 128MB of RAM. is it possible to boot an 8.04.1 CD without running X? the prereqs on the CD says that Ubuntu needs at least 384MB | 15:22 |
| Dezin1 | I have no idea what it could be.. it crashed on Ubuntu, it crashes on Windows. It crashes at the loading screen half the time. Other than that it runs perfectly fine. | 15:22 |
| arvind_khadri | ubuntu, well seems like the boundaries are toast... did you try re-installing Ubuntu? | 15:22 |
| litage | Dezin1: you can configure syslog to log to a remote syslog daemon | 15:23 |
| ubuntu | arvind_khadri: i just installed win xp and ubuntu like 5 days ago i dont want to reinstall again | 15:23 |
| usser | litage, you need to get alternate cd which contains text-mode installer | 15:23 |
| ubuntu | arvind_khadri: it was when i installed winxp and i installed grub again it messed up | 15:23 |
| litage | Dezin1: you could also shutdown, remove the video card, boot into GNU/Linux, then ssh into the box. let it run for a while and see if it crashes | 15:23 |

Any ideas? Maybe a keymap issue or something? I don't know much about messing with the k | 15:26 |
| wers | ScheissDrogen, can I make one partition with the mini OS and swap on it? hehe | 15:26 |

| quaal | i just used clonezilla to image my partitions | 15:51 |
| ceed^ | erUSUL. so I should use the live CD and do that? | 15:51 |
| quaal | it seems very strange how it did it | 15:51 |
| quaal | has anyone used clonezilla | 15:51 |
| spanther | hellow :) | 15:51 |
| loxley_ | quaal: yes | 15:51 |
| erUSUL | Crewsr3: well many server apps or system wide apps also has conf files in /etc/ | 15:51 |

| erUSUL | ceed^: well you can run the 32 bit version on any processor | 15:52 |
| wers | what gnome app show's my hardware info? | 15:52 |
| ceed^ | erUSUL: There's no advantage to run the 64 bit one? | 15:52 |
| spanther | ceed^ but you cant use more than 3gb of ram with 32bit version :) | 15:52 |
| erUSUL | ceed^: and maybe if you are a begginer with not much ram >=4GB you should use 32 bit | 15:52 |
| Crewsr3 | erUSUL, so where does the benefit of having a separate home drive for a home user come into play? | 15:52 |
| spanther | ceed^ 64bit gives higher memory space allocation means you can use terrabytes of ram :) | 15:52 |
| ceed^ | erUSUL: thanks, I've run Linux off and on since '97. but this processor stuff is confusing | 15:53 |
| Denise | anybody knows a reason why i cant start my firewall | 15:53 |
| erUSUL | Crewsr3: you can do a reintall without affecting *user* settings and you can backup heavily modified etc/ files with out much effort | 15:53 |
| spanther | ceed^ 64bit just extends the memory amount you can use :) | 15:54 |
| ceed^ | spanther: That's all I need to know....now I need to find a fast mirror.... :) | 15:54 |
| erUSUL | spanther: well thats an gross simplification | 15:54 |

| erUSUL | Denise: and you are getting any usefull error? | 15:55 |
| Ab3L | going out for a sec | 15:55 |

| Randocal | I have two Ubuntu machines (both running Hardy), I'm moving out of the house i'm in and one machine is staying here, the other is coming with me. I'd like to migrate a couple user accounts from the machine that's staying and move them to the machine that i'm bringing with me. Is it as easy as creating matching users on the machine i'm bringing, and then simply copying over the /home directories? | 16:19 |
| jrib | quatar-it: sure, checkout the convert or mogrify command in the imagemagick package | 16:19 |
| quatar-it | ok | 16:19 |
| quatar-it | thanks | 16:19 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | I'll just stick to LAN for a while | 16:20 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | It's not... impossible | 16:20 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Just annoying that the doors don't close all the way :) | 16:20 |
| erUSUL | Randocal: yes but maybe you will have to do a mass "chown -R user:user" on the home files | 16:21 |
| guntbert | Randocal: not quite, linux recognizes every user by her UID, so there are a few things to look at | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | Randocal: becouse uid and gid could/wont match on the two machines | 16:21 |
| Randocal | erUSUL if I ensure my users on both machines have the same GID and UID i'll be fine though, right? | 16:21 |
| guntbert | erUSUL: sorry, my no was mot to your opinion | 16:22 |
| guntbert | *not | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | Randocal: that will make things easier check the options of adduser to specify uid and gid | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | Randocal: seems like a "adduser --uid UID --gid GID <restofoptions> " is all that you need | 16:23 |
| Randocal | Perfect, thanks. | 16:24 |

| usser | wers, eh? | 16:31 |
| magnetron | !latest | Dabbu | 16:31 |
| ubottu | Dabbu: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 16:31 |
| komputes | true that. | 16:31 |
| wers | usser, I have an extra partition. i want ubuntu to read it. i have to set a mount point for it. I am going to install damn small linux on it. what mount point do I set? | 16:32 |

| usser | wers, thats entirely up to u, i usually mount any external partitions to /data, in your case something like /data/dsl | 16:33 |

| bazhang | csyntax, no; the folder holding all of the folders | 17:19 |
| kappabuntu | why won't synaptic install firefox 3? it keeps giving me a dependency for libpango but it's already installed | 17:19 |
| Sephr | lol Sephi | 17:19 |
| soundray | Sephr: have you tried with boot options? | 17:19 |
| csyntax | oh | 17:19 |
| kappabuntu | xulrunner 1.9.1 also gets the same depency problem | 17:19 |
| Sephr | soundray: what kind of boot options? | 17:20 |
| dsl_ | is there a command that will give motherboard model? | 17:20 |
| wers | usser, after sudo tar -pczf wershome /home/wers , what do I do next? | 17:20 |
| csyntax | Desktop fluxbox style font gtk theme icon theme Matrix_by_Hitboxx.tar.gz wallpapers | 17:20 |
| Sephi | I got highlighted last night sometime but didn't check, perhaps I should get around to doing that @windows thing | 17:20 |
| jrib | gnuvince_: actually, just having an empty input.conf seems to work to here. Kind of weird | 17:20 |
| Sephr | this alienware laptop is suprisingly more closed than my dell laptops | 17:20 |
| Sephr | I don't even think it lets me edit the bios | 17:20 |
| Sephi | @window * | 17:20 |
| bazhang | csyntax, that is the right place to start cp :) | 17:20 |
| dsl_ | is there a command that will give motherboard model? or a way to check motherboard model from within X somewhere | 17:20 |
| csyntax | just type cp | 17:20 |
| laserbeak43 | DrNic1: didn't see the fetch updates button :P thx | 17:20 |
| soundray | Sephr: that would be reason enough for me to return it | 17:20 |
| Sephi | oh, it is @windows | 17:20 |
| DrNic1 | laserbeak43: no problems :) | 17:21 |

| Sephi | hell of a lot of parameters | 17:21 |

| kappabuntu | I think I have a problem with my repos | 17:21 |
| dsl_ | is there a command that will give motherboard model? or a way to check motherboard model from within X somewhere or chipset | 17:21 |
| bazhang | csyntax, no; need an argument :) cp gtk_theme ~/.themes | 17:21 |
| soundray | Sephr: anyway, try booting with noapic (hit F6 at the boot screen to be able to add it to the kernel command line) | 17:21 |
| csyntax | ok | 17:21 |
| Sephr | ok | 17:21 |
| Dabbu | i have installed PCmanFm but when i open any file nothing happens | 17:22 |
| Sephr | I'm going to join this chatroom on another pc while I do this | 17:22 |
| soundray | xanax`: actually, what I gave you was for checking installed kernel packages. To see what kernel is currently running, 'uname -a' | 17:23 |
| csyntax | csyntax@matrix:~$ cp gtk_theme ~/.themes | 17:23 |
| csyntax | cp: cannot stat `gtk_theme': No such file or directory | 17:23 |

| kappabuntu | soundray: obviously :( | 17:24 |
| kappabuntu | I'm using the newest one | 17:25 |

| kappabuntu | soundray: none at the moment, I removed FF3 wanting to reinstall after but now I don't have a browser haha | 17:28 |
| glitsj16 | BigKahuna: nautilus is a GUI file manager, comes default with ubuntu | 17:28 |
| vipaca_ | please let me know so I don't feel all alone | 17:28 |
| soundray | alphaman1101: I don't think you can get one. Most laptops drive their displays directly, ie. there is no VGA step. Nothing but the original laptop graphics card (or a fully compatible one) will be able to drive that LCD | 17:28 |

| revmoo | Hi I was wondering if someone running Breezy could compile a network driver for my EEE pc for me? | 17:30 |
| revmoo | just need kernel headers and type 'make' | 17:30 |
| Sephr | ok noapic, got it | 17:30 |
| glitsj16 | BigKahuna: i see, not familiar with AOL i'm afraid, but i would follow that advice | 17:30 |
| BigKahuna | glit: how do I check permissions in ubuntu then? | 17:31 |
| alphaman1101 | soundray, who said anything about a laptop.... jk Im just wanting something to put into the server to display data | 17:31 |
| soundray | revmoo: breezy is unsupported. If you have an eeepc, you should install hardy and get the special kernel from array.org | 17:31 |
| revmoo | does it have the eee network driver soundray ? | 17:31 |
| Sephr | should I remove the two "--" | 17:31 |
| soundray | alphaman1101: if you have an LCD with a ribbon cable, it's most likely from or for a laptop | 17:31 |
| Sephr | soundray: do I keep the --? | 17:31 |
| soundray | revmoo: the array.org kernel does | 17:31 |
| XiXaQ | I need to connect to a wireless network with wep encryption without a gui. How do I do that? :=) | 17:31 |

| laserbeak43 | and do nothing | 17:32 |
| Sephr | yes | 17:32 |
| revmoo | soundray: another question; how do I do a pxe netinstall from that?? | 17:32 |

| soundray | revmoo: I don't know how to do a PXE install on the eeepc, sorry... I installed mine with a USB DVD-ROM drive | 17:34 |
| bazhang | csyntax, the instructions on the site are somewhat non-intuitive; one of the comments lends a hint on what to do (the last comment); but you want to be very careful doing it, and close nautilus right after | 17:34 |
| revmoo | yeah I dont have one handy that is the problem | 17:34 |
| revmoo | well is anyone here running breezy that can build this kernel driver for me | 17:34 |
| revmoo | thats all I need really | 17:34 |
| soundray | revmoo: hardly anyone will be on breezy these days | 17:34 |
| bazhang | revmoo, breezy is no longer supported. | 17:34 |
| revmoo | ok | 17:35 |
| shankhs | where to save my own C++ include file ? | 17:35 |
| Sephr | soundray: can ubuntu x64 recognise dual RAID-0 drives? | 17:35 |
| revmoo | well what if i switch to hardy | 17:35 |
| dsl_ | is there a way to reset a bios password from within linux? | 17:35 |
| soundray | revmoo: do you have a USB flash memory device handy? | 17:35 |
| Sephr | I'm getting I/O errors about them when I try your thing | 17:35 |
| revmoo | soundray: yeah but its only 256mb | 17:35 |
| bazhang | revmoo, then the kernel will be much better; what do you need in it | 17:35 |
| kappabuntu | soundray: no errors *shrug* | 17:35 |
| revmoo | i just need the net driver for the eee | 17:35 |
| revmoo | but if it's built in to hardy.... | 17:35 |
| soundray | Sephr: it can in principle, but you need the alternate CD rather than the desktop one I think | 17:35 |
| usser | shankhs, wherever u want | 17:36 |
| soundray | !alternate | Seprh | 17:36 |
| ubottu | Seprh: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 17:36 |

| usser | shafire, just specify full path to it in your #include | 17:36 |
| bazhang | revmoo, the wiki at www.eeeuser.com has a link on how to get that going perfectly | 17:36 |
| usser | dsl_, take out the battery | 17:36 |
| bazhang | revmoo, ie using hardy heron | 17:36 |

| Sephr | how to I eject a cd that requires windows to be booted to eject it? | 17:37 |
| dsl_ | usseer, its attached really weird, cant detach it safetly | 17:37 |
| maniheer | what about the CMOS jumper dsl_ ? | 17:37 |
| Sephr | I'm autobooting in ubuntu and can't change boot order | 17:37 |
| soundray | revmoo: might be enough to do a server install. After that, you'll have to get the array.org kernel in somehow, then you can just 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' to upgrade to the full GUI version | 17:37 |
| usser | dsl_, hehe weird, yea is there jumper somewhere | 17:37 |
| Sephr | and Fn+F8 (only way to eject cd drive) only works in windows | 17:37 |
| revmoo | hmm interesting | 17:37 |
| dsl_ | maniheer, its a laptop, there isnt a jumper | 17:37 |
| revmoo | 8.04 is hardy rite? | 17:38 |
| maniheer | oh | 17:38 |
| bazhang | revmoo, yes | 17:38 |
| revmoo | ok | 17:38 |
| maniheer | hehe | 17:38 |
| revmoo | yeah i havent setup a desktop in years im used to doing debian netinstalls on servers | 17:38 |
| soundray | kappabuntu: now try 'sudo apt-get install firefox' | 17:38 |

| revmoo | cant do server install, this is just the basic netinstall img | 17:39 |
| kevinO | doesn anyone here use ubuntu studio? | 17:39 |
| revmoo | im thinking I need to get a new driver or kerney | 17:39 |
| soundray | Sephr: no, Ubuntu locks the CD drive when you boot the live CD (and you shouldn't eject from there anyway -- reboot instead) | 17:39 |

| Drk_Guy | Anybody wants help? | 17:40 |
| soundray | revmoo: you've got breezy on your eeepc, but no network? | 17:40 |
| revmoo | nah breezy cant even begin the install | 17:40 |

| revmoo | so I NEED network to install | 17:40 |
| eight | Drk_Guy: no | 17:40 |

| Drk_Guy | lol eight | 17:40 |
| Sephr | and I can't change the boot order | 17:40 |
| soundray | revmoo: forget PXE, it won't work with Ubuntu on your hardware. Have you still got Xandros on it? | 17:40 |
| revmoo | yeah | 17:41 |
| revmoo | but its getting wiped today | 17:41 |
| soundray | Sephr: you should eject the CD at the boot screen | 17:41 |
| Gnea | kevinO: so what do you need to know about ubuntu studio? | 17:41 |
| Sephr | soundray: I cant | 17:41 |
| exoide | How can I download the source files of libelf library? | 17:42 |
| Sephr | soundray: it requires me to use Fn+F8 which only works when booted into windows | 17:42 |
| dsl_ | legend2440, thanks for the info | 17:42 |
| soundray | revmoo: I suggest you keep Xandros around for dualbooting -- it's a good way to pull files in since it has the network drivers | 17:42 |

| soundray | MikeSeth: in busybox? | 17:43 |
| Gnea | Sephr: if you can use the eject command, it should work | 17:43 |
| Sephr | MikeSeth: that did nothing | 17:43 |
| MikeSeth | Sephr: the drive won't eject if its mounted | 17:43 |
| Sephr | BusyBox cand do the command | 17:43 |

However i get tired of coming in here and having smart alecs respond to my question with some thiing that is well, just pointless, when all they had to do is ignore the question if they did not have an answer | 17:44 |

| soundray | glitsj16: that's useful, thank you | 18:11 |

| Strife89 | glitsj16: I should probably mention that I DID upgrade to 8.04.1 from 7.10 about 2 or 3 weeks ago. | 18:11 |
| Sephr | why does there have to be an "alternate" cd anyways? | 18:11 |

| kardiel | danbh_intrepid: does it work well with firefox? | 18:13 |
| Gnea | danbh_intrepid: yes, you can import a whole .VOB and edit it from there to whatever you need it to be. it's very touchy, though. there are some things you can and can't do, and sometimes it won't let you know until after you've tried writing the file. therefore, it involves a lot of trial and error. | 18:13 |
| Strife89 | glitsj16: If you mean it should be installed by default, it wasn't. I'm in Synaptic now, and it's downloading. | 18:13 |
| domherre | soundray: is the beta avabile thorugh that I need 6.5 coz of 3d support and it being free :-) | 18:13 |

| danbh_intrepid | kardiel: its the default, and support is improving. I actually have no idea, I've only ever used totem. Totem doesnt let you rewind or ff, which sucks, so I end up just downloading most clips that I look at | 18:14 |

| ubottu | danbh_intrepid, please see my private message | 18:17 |
| Gnea | Sephr: remember, ubuntu is built by people doing it, mostly, in their spare time. nvidia support is actually sanctioned by nvidia themselves, therefore the nvidia support is extremely rock-solid. it's just a matter of installing the restricted drivers. | 18:17 |
| Strife89 | glitsj16: No errors; the only sign it didn't work is that Audacity is still "unable to open the sound device". | 18:18 |
| Gnea | !nvidia | Sephr | 18:18 |
| ubottu | Sephr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:18 |
| Gnea | Sephr: you may wish to look into reading some documentation before jumping to incorrect conclusions, as well. | 18:18 |
| Strife89 | glitsj16: Know any terminal commands that might help? | 18:18 |
| glitsj16 | Strife89: okay, perhaps after installing that you need to restart pulseaudio | 18:18 |
| soundray | Sephr: in my view, it's the vendor's fault. Vendors go out of their way to support MS junk, but tend to be very difficult when it comes to supporting free software. Vote with your feet! | 18:18 |
| Sephr | what's so hard at supporting RAID-0? | 18:18 |
| Strife89 | glitsj16: How do I do that? | 18:19 |
| danbh_intrepid | Sephr: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5880 | 18:19 |
| Sephr | that's the only thing keeping ubuntu from not working on my laptop anyways | 18:19 |
| Gnea | Sephr: you didn't read the URL? | 18:19 |
| soundray | Sephr: it's not hard, it's just special. Try the alternate installer. | 18:19 |

| buntuu | Gnea, i know how to configure wpa and stuff (i've got several linux machines). my only problem is this laptop which has an activation mechanism for its wireless features (atheros) | 18:23 |
| Sephr | anyone know a torrent for the alternate amd64 installer that has >= 50 seeds? | 18:23 |
| soundray | Kira: server has no GUI. I think you made the right choice | 18:23 |
| KiDFlaSh | hallo | 18:23 |
| Kira | I need to turn off GNOME to save memory. | 18:23 |
| Gnea | Kira: so does mine. i've got a nice 1.5G swap for it. | 18:23 |
| Kira | wait... | 18:23 |
| Kira | right | 18:23 |
| === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav_ | ||
| Kira | whatever happened to swap? | 18:24 |
| soundray | Kira: try logging in in failsafe (not failsafe gnome) and see if the memory savings allow you to do your processing | 18:24 |
| Strife89 | glitsj16: Right off the bat, I'm thinking that it's a conflict with obsolete packages (hence the instructions to remove them). | 18:24 |
| Gnea | yes, running a GUI on a server is pretty silly... it's like running windows 2003 just to run a dns server. | 18:24 |
| CarlF11 | is there a cad app that will edit a .vwf CADVANCE drawing file ? | 18:24 |
| soundray | Kira: swap is still setup per default, but it's very slow | 18:24 |
| Peanut | What's a good way to debug a non-starting X? | 18:24 |
| Gnea | buntuu: then you need to check the documentation for your system to see what it is. | 18:24 |
| soundray | Peanut: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:25 |
| glitsj16 | Strife89: could very well be yes .. lunchtime here, hope things get sorted, gdluck | 18:25 |
| Strife89 | glitsj16: Alright, go eat. :) | 18:25 |
| Gnea | Kira: there's no reason to have a GUI on a server. you can always export the display over the network. | 18:25 |
| Peanut | soundray: Already did - it's more like the Gnome part isn't running, the X-server is. | 18:25 |
| ompaul | Kira, ehh if you should have installed a server - the fastest way to get there is to install the server rather than trying to take out gnome etc | 18:25 |
| glitsj16 | Strife89: thx, i don't like cold french fries indeed :p | 18:25 |

| banisterfiend | hey guys im using sed 's/[a-z]\+/fren/' and it works, but my question is how do i know when to use the \ to escape the chars and when not? for example i have to escape '+' in order to get the result i want, but i do not have to escape the * char | 18:26 |
| Kira | Gnea: FreeNX, right? | 18:26 |
| ompaul | Kira, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; sudo apt-get install rcconf << sudo rcconf and turn off gdm for next reboot >> enjoy | 18:26 |
| soundray | Peanut: then why did you say you had a non-starting X? Never mind. Have a look at .xsession-errors in your home | 18:26 |
| Peanut | It's a HH install, and one user can log into X just fine, the other user gets X started but doesn't get the window manager and stuff. | 18:26 |
| Kira | Or something better? | 18:26 |
| hardcore | even thought i'm wired right now at least i can take it places without having to partition in windows | 18:26 |

| buntuu | Gnea, what documentation? | 18:26 |
| hardcore | anyone tried compiz yet? it sooooo rocks | 18:26 |
| Gnea | buntuu: the one that came with the laptop. or the documentation you can find on the manufacturer's website. | 18:26 |

| butnuu | how can i enable my wirelesscard on ubuntu (atheros)? manual says fn+f1 but that doesn't work | 18:43 |
| bobertdos | KenBW2: sort of.........It shouldn't be too bad though. | 18:43 |
| KenBW2 | adante: id guess its an accessibility setting | 18:43 |
| d3matt | (had to build a module to get ethernet support) | 18:44 |
| d3matt | nothing on ASUS's website about this particular chipset | 18:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | adante: is this a clean install? | 18:44 |
| KenBW2 | bobertdos: if proper intall is 100%, where would you place a wubi install? | 18:44 |
| adante | KenBW2: ahh that was it thanks | 18:44 |
| adante | danbh_intrepid: yeah.. fixed anyway | 18:44 |

| duiu | I installed the nvidia drivers via apt-get, but they don't show in hardware drivers. What's the text name for them so I can just enable them in xorg.conf? or is that a bad idea? | 18:45 |

| danbh_intrepid | duiu: its fine, you just may have compiz problems | 18:46 |
| danbh_intrepid | duiu: change nv to nvidia | 18:46 |

| Kira | soundray: how to I initiate a remote failsafe session (say I'm using FreeNX and NX Client). | 18:47 |
| danbh_intrepid | ZeetreX`: not only may you ask, but that is what this room is devoted to | 18:47 |
| Kira | *do | 18:47 |
| ZeetreX` | dunno how to solve the apt-cdrom problem "E: Failed to mount the cdrom" | 18:47 |
| ZeetreX` | couldn't find the answer in net | 18:47 |
| butnuu | anyone know how to enable wireless on a laptop? (fn+f1 doesn't work) | 18:47 |
| KenBW2 | butnuu: might be laptop-specific | 18:47 |
| danbh_intrepid | butnuu: isnt that a hardware thing? | 18:47 |
| bobertdos | KenBW2: It should be. I'm not a hundred percent sure what happens to the home directory. That's where personal files are kept. so I don't know if Wubi would get rid of that or not. As with any other Windows program, registry keys probably get left behind and stuff, but nothing too out of the ordinary otherwise. | 18:48 |
| soundray | Kira: sorry, don't know. Do you get a gdm login screen via FreeNX? If so, it's just a matter of clicking Options in the lower left corner and selecting Sessions. | 18:48 |
| ZeetreX` | issyl0, dunno how to solve the apt-cdrom problem "E: Failed to mount the cdrom" | 18:48 |
| Kira | let me try | 18:48 |
| KenBW2 | bobertdos: i just want it so the owner of the PC doesnt think ive messed about with it too much | 18:48 |
| Kattollikisd | what channel? | 18:48 |

| Azazel-AZ | sudo passwd root as setup a password | 18:50 |
| butnuu | KenBW2, wireless activation is a common problem (it seems, google). ubuntu knows the other hotkeys like sound on/off etc. but not fn+f1... | 18:50 |
| pingoparado | Kattollikisd, yes... u have to configure gdm to dos o | 18:50 |

| danbh_intrepid | ZeetreX`: are you trying to upgrade? | 18:51 |
| KenBW2 | Kattollikisd: you dont want to? | 18:51 |
| ZeetreX` | soundray, yes | 18:51 |
| bobertdos | KenBW2: Well, a "proper" install would be giving Ubuntu its own hard drive partition. The only way to get rid of that is to wipe that partition, which is not something you want to do on a whim. | 18:51 |
| ZeetreX` | danbh_intrepid, nope. just trying to add some cds to repository | 18:51 |
| KenBW2 | bobertdos: so i should stick to the Wubi method | 18:51 |
| butnuu | KenBW2, FujitsuSiemens Amilo 2732 in this case. it's a atheros card | 18:51 |
| Kattollikisd | <KenBW2> and. the thing that i want to do ... i can't do i twith sudo | 18:51 |
| KenBW2 | Kattollikisd: what wouyld that be | 18:52 |
| bobertdos | KenBW2: Particularly because it's not your system to mess with, yes. | 18:52 |
| Azazel-AZ | repository list is /etc/apt | 18:52 |

| Kira | soundray: no. I don't get the login screen with FreeNX (at least I don't know of a way so far); I have to input my username and password before making the connection | 18:52 |
| Azazel-AZ | katto, sudo passwd root and setup a password | 18:52 |
| KenBW2 | Kattollikisd: oh, er... i read it somewhere but cant remember now | 18:52 |
| KenBW2 | butnuu: drivers? | 18:53 |

| butnuu | lspci ? | 18:53 |
| butnuu | lshw? | 18:53 |
| bobertdos | Kattollikisd: Why can't you do that with sudo? If you really need the login to be persistent, use sudo -i. | 18:53 |
| KenBW2 | butnuu: er... <whistles> im not big on hardware | 18:53 |
| soundray | Azazel-AZ: do not advise this without warning | 18:54 |

| amenado | Kira who | wc -l | 18:56 |
| jrib | Kattollikisd: I suspect that your issue is that you've installed a custom theme and superuser programs are not using it. Is that correct? | 18:57 |
| KenBW2 | im trying to instaoll ubuntu with wubi. The cd/umenu.exe file gives me a "Demo and full installation" and "Learn more" buttons. wheres the wubi one? | 18:57 |
| Kattollikisd | <jrib> yes | 18:57 |
| amenado | Kohlrak-> i think you just have to make sure your sshd server is running and then you can run your vino-server | 18:57 |
| bobertdos | KenBW2: Online, actually | 18:58 |
| KenBW2 | bobertdos: eh? | 18:58 |
| KenBW2 | bobertdos: is it a special cd? | 18:58 |
| jrib | Kattollikisd: this is bug #24280. The easiest way to workaround it is to just install your custom theme system-wide in /usr/share/themes/ | 18:58 |

| Kattollikisd | <jjrib> i am a beginner in ubuntu... it gonne be hard to uderstand | 19:00 |
| Kattollikisd | understand * | 19:00 |

| jrib | Kattollikisd: essentially, you just copy your theme from ~/.themes/ to /usr/share/themes/ | 19:00 |
| Kattollikisd | <bobertdos> tell me.. how to change the theme in the terminal ? | 19:00 |

| Gnea | Kira: it's a database, they're known for being memory hogs | 19:12 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, Then type? | 19:12 |
| sebastian_ | Gnea: then which one is the most beginner friendly? | 19:12 |
| Azazel-AZ | lsmod | grep -i snd | 19:13 |
| Kattollikisd | yea I know... | 19:13 |
| Gnea | sebastian_: stick with irssi and you won't go wrong | 19:13 |
| jrib | Kattollikisd: it's also not just the .theme file. It's the whole directory for the theme | 19:13 |
| Gnea | !irssi | sebastian_ | 19:13 |
| ubottu | sebastian_: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 19:13 |
| sebastian_ | Gnea: i tried it but i dont understand how to scroll up :p | 19:13 |
| isleshocky77 | Azazel-AZ: Could it be running on the wrong screen or something? In the process monitor it says it's running on pts/2, nothing else says that. | 19:13 |

| Gnea | sebastian_: try the pageup button :) | 19:13 |
| sebastian_ | ok :) | 19:13 |
| sebastian_ | thx | 19:13 |
| Azazel-AZ | maybe, try pkill firefox | 19:13 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, I typed that, now what am I looking for? | 19:13 |
| Kattollikisd | ohh ok | 19:13 |
| Azazel-AZ | so you see the sound modules loaded? | 19:14 |

| Azazel-AZ | isleshocky77, ok that rules out permission problems do you have another account you can try, su over to that and try to run it | 19:16 |
| Peanut | Is there any information on how to properly setup audio on current (8.04) HH? Most of my problems seem to have to do with audio, and it might be that having esd instead of pulse is causing the problems? | 19:16 |
| Gnea | sebastian_: let's start elsewhere: apt-cache search irssi | 19:16 |
| usser | Palace_Chan, you on a 64 bit system? | 19:17 |
| zibri | sebastian_: apt-get install irssi (not Irssi) | 19:17 |
| sebastian_ | Gnea: i found it :) | 19:17 |
| Azazel-AZ | chlorate, you should see you sound card in the list, you need to write down the info for it | 19:17 |
| sebastian_ | Gnea: thx :) | 19:17 |
| pingoparado | Peanut, google | 19:17 |
| Gnea | sebastian_: cheers | 19:17 |
| Palace_Chan | usseer, i believe so | 19:17 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, I think it detected it Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia | 19:17 |
| Palace_Chan | usser, i believe so | 19:17 |

| Kattollikisd | <jrib> Thanks for you help | 19:18 |
| Kattollikisd | :D | 19:18 |
| usser | Palace_Chan, then it is normal, npviewer is a wrapper to run flash plugin in 64 bit browsers and thats hogging up all the cpu | 19:18 |
| andre_pl | i have 2 identical HDs in my laptop, sda has ubuntu using the "Use this whole disk" mode. and the other has a single ext3 partition on it. df -h is showing that ext3 partition is only 50GB, whereas sda1 is 71. | 19:18 |
| pingoparado | Peanut, u can configure sound via gnome | 19:18 |
| jrib | Kattollikisd: no problem | 19:18 |
| andre_pl | i'm losing disk? | 19:18 |
| Palace_Chan | usseer, so as long as i run a browser it will snatch that much power ? | 19:18 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, google +ubuntu +'ati tech..." and see if there is a module or a fix I doubt your the first | 19:19 |
| Eiden | does anyone have a problem with ndiswrapper doing odd things, like making your wifi card unresponsive? | 19:19 |

| madmartian | sorry if this is off-topic but have large number of photos to rescale. Any suggestions for easier ways than one by one in GIMP? | 19:22 |
| Azazel-AZ | that means there is a bug in the ubuntu operating system and you need to do a few things to fix it, I will try to look at info and see if it is something I can help with | 19:22 |
| jrib | madmartian: convert or mogrify (depending on if you want to keep the original) from the imagemagick package | 19:23 |
| madmartian | thanks | 19:23 |
| danbh_intrepid | usser: Palace_Chan: flash works for me, and I've heard that you can get it working on 64bit. Thats not broken | 19:23 |

| firefly2442 | Basically, it runs at 1024x600, is there a way to scale this somehow? | 19:23 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, Cause I googled that bug and I saw all this code and I don't know what to do or what it means. | 19:24 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, still in terminal? | 19:24 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, yes. | 19:24 |
| usser | danbh_intrepid, if it crashes on every other site i'd pretty much consider it broken | 19:24 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, I skimmed through it. It was an older kernel that had the problem, but there is a configuration option we need to verify is in a file | 19:24 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, ok. How do I do that? | 19:25 |
| Azazel-AZ | give me a few to make sure I'm reading this right, plz | 19:25 |
| Peanut | Ok.. audio actually works, sort of: if I do 'cat /bin/ls >/dev/dsp' I hear sound. So something around esd is causing the problems/crashes | 19:25 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, take your time. No rush! | 19:25 |
| danbh_intrepid | usser: yeah, thats true. I guess I haven't had that problem. Flash only crashes on me when the site also tries to mix in windows only tech | 19:25 |
| Azazel-AZ | thnz | 19:25 |
| Azazel-AZ | thnx | 19:25 |

| Peanut | Ugh.. as soon as I've tried to play one of the sounds in the 'Preferences/Sounds' menu, gnome is completely hosed and I can't even start up a 'terminal' anymore. | 19:31 |

| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, but I am ready. | 19:31 |
| TheMaxzilla | jrib: Ubuntu. I'm using kubuntu, but I needa switch. | 19:32 |
| Peanut | Killing esd makes the desktop usable again (though silent, of course) | 19:32 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok.. sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic | 19:32 |
| tamer | why my recordmydesktop doesn't work | 19:32 |
| jrib | TheMaxzilla: of course it will work, ubuntu and kubuntu use the same repositories. They just have different default packages | 19:32 |
| pingoparado | tamer, startit from terminal and paste the error message | 19:32 |
| Turms | nfs doesn't show in the desktop, how can i have it | 19:32 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, Alright. | 19:32 |
| TheMaxzilla | So I don't have to install any other gumbo for Konversation to work, jrib? | 19:33 |
| tamer | it stops when it says encoding the virdeo | 19:33 |
| tamer | video | 19:33 |
| jrib | TheMaxzilla: APT will install everything you need | 19:33 |
| pingoparado | Turms, gconf-editor apps-nautilus-desktop check there | 19:33 |
| Azazel-AZ | sudo -s | 19:33 |
| pingoparado | Turms, if not u probably added media in mnt or other folder rather than /media | 19:33 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az Alright. What's that do? | 19:34 |
| Azazel-AZ | brings you up as "going root" so you can change the file you need to | 19:34 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, Okay I see that now. | 19:34 |
| Azazel-AZ | then cut and paste the following line into terminal and hit enter, ready | 19:35 |

| Peanut | pingoparado: You mean the google browser? A few months till it is even available for mac, I heard | 19:37 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, So do I type in cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 19:37 |
| pingoparado | godzirra, it seems to be quite simple... i like that... ill search for linux packages | 19:37 |

| danbh_intrepid | Azazel-AZ: I dunno, I literally just followed the directions in the guide. They seemed generic enough for madwifi drivers though... | 20:04 |
| askand | Hi, I installed libflashsupport but flash wont work | 20:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Chlorate: are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 20:04 |

| askand | maniheer: hi again, nope | 20:05 |
| birkoff | pingoparado, it is for me ... but I did not had much luck with keywords like "voice changer" or "voice modifier" ... | 20:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Azazel-AZ: that device works fine w/ madwifi. | 20:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | when you don't give a bad link | 20:05 |
| askand | maniheer: I tried out firefox 3.1 and it was propably there something went wrong | 20:05 |
| askand | maniheer: But i have removed it now | 20:05 |
| Azazel-AZ | following a wiki, sorry about the link lets move on ok | 20:05 |

| IndyGunFreak | Azazel-AZ: uh, and how dos that change affect whether he's using 32bit or 64bit? | 20:07 |
| birkoff | pingoparado, I will try to get it tho apt-get ... | 20:07 |

| mimmichristoffer | i need help with my mounted hd, i cant write to it | 20:08 |
| birkoff | pingoparado, installing now | 20:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Azazel-AZ: iv'e never set that device up in 64bit before(tried)... but 32bit, it works fine... but 64bit, he'll need ndiswrapper. | 20:08 |
| maniheer | askand: http://tapos.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/installing-adobe-flash-player-in-ubuntu/ | 20:08 |
| riegersn | how can i get client to see and follow symlinks on the server using nsf? | 20:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | and i don't use ndiswrapper, so someone else can try that | 20:08 |
| MrKennie | elvelind: check your disk space | 20:08 |
| mimmichristoffer | how | 20:08 |
| Azazel-AZ | his laptop model had no snd, we fixed that. now is wifi. there is a bug report on it for hardy, which is why I though ndiswrapper might be faster since he has the dang cd | 20:09 |
| pingoparado | birkoff, other way is if u know a program for windows u can use wine to run it.. | 20:09 |
| Chlorate | IndyGunFreak, Azazel-Az: So what do you both suggest? | 20:09 |
| Azazel-AZ | ndiswrapper and use the cd that came with the card | 20:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Chlorate: what model laptop do you have? | 20:09 |
| birkoff | pingoparado, not really a windows guy =P | 20:09 |

| pingoparado | birkoff, well... i know but thats other option... | 20:10 |

| birkoff | pingoparado, probably dead =P ... at least I hope so ... don't really like him ... not one bit | 20:13 |
| maniheer | askand: i dont see anything to do with linking directories | 20:13 |
| birkoff | pingoparado, actually I don't really know =P | 20:13 |
| MrKennie | mimor: should be /usr/bin/wget anyway but `which` is a very useful app when needs require it. :) | 20:13 |
| Chlorate | IndyGunFreak, Okay. | 20:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | w00t: so much for out of the box... id ont' think there's very many ATI devices w/ "out of the box support" | 20:13 |
| mimmichristoffer | what program do i have permissions on a disk? | 20:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Chlorate: note though, to switch to 32bit, your'e gonna have to do a reinstall. | 20:13 |
| w00t- | birkoff: please don't flood the channel with off-topic shit, stopping me from getting help. | 20:13 |
| pingoparado | birkoff, hahaha softonic.com there u can check for some software in windows and run it with wine | 20:14 |

| Azazel-AZ | this should work for the guy with the usb also | 20:14 |
| askand | maniheer: no that was me trying to fix it with help off various sites.. | 20:14 |
| darren | how does it work in here the page on the guidelines wont load is there a system or some thin to ask a question | 20:14 |

| ubottu | darren if someone can answer, they will..: 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. :-) | 20:14 |
| maniheer | askand: it could be anything | 20:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | danbh_intrepid: would that work when going frmo 64bit, down to 32bit? | 20:15 |

| birkoff | pingoparado, thanks mate =) | 20:18 |
| savageone | the lin dvd people are ignoring me big time | 20:18 |

| pingoparado | birkoff, seeya around mano!!! | 20:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | savageone: why do you want to pay to play a DVD on your home computer, that you presumably have either purchased or paid to rent | 20:19 |

| ivantis | but i dont know where to put the roms | 20:20 |
| savageone | spanther: I'm saying I've been trying and they don't have it purchasable for anyone but dell and they're not responding to my emails etc | 20:20 |

| ivantis | i see | 20:20 |
| darren | mckennie yes its a alfa network awuso36h | 20:20 |
| spanther | IndyGunFreak because of licensed codec where you need a license so commercial | 20:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | [nrx2]: i don't find it ridiculous at all. | 20:20 |
| R4kk00n | there is mame.ini somewhere | 20:20 |
| [nrx2] | IndyGunFreak, why wouldn't someone want to watch a DVD on their pc? | 20:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | spanther: he paid for the DVD, he should be allowed to watch it. | 20:20 |
| scurvy | soundray: i did that and it doesn't show up when i hit f1 or help in gnumeric | 20:20 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, Huh? | 20:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | [nrx2]: follow the conversation, then tell me whats ridiculous | 20:20 |
| [nrx2] | I have. | 20:20 |
| savageone | the whole needing a license for watching a type of media makes no sense to me | 20:20 |
| R4kk00n | and there is a rompath in that ьфьуюштш | 20:20 |
| soundray | scurvy: please restart gnumeric and try again | 20:20 |
| spanther | IndyGunFreak he is but he needs a player/codec license :) | 20:20 |
| savageone | libdvdcss being illegal is retarded | 20:21 |

| m4rk | what's that called? | 20:28 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, No medium found? | 20:28 |
| MrKennie | darren: what is the make and model of the built in card? | 20:29 |
| Azazel-AZ | mount /media/cdrom0; or mout /media/cdrom1 | 20:29 |
| Azazel-AZ | try those | 20:29 |
| soundray | scurvy: what happens when you hit F1? | 20:29 |
| darren | mrkennie intel 802.11 a/b/g/n | 20:30 |
| Chlorate | Azazel, Cdrom1 doesn't exist and can't find media/cdrom0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 20:30 |
| Azazel-AZ | cat /etc/fstab | grep -i cdrom | 20:30 |
| darren | mrkennie iwl4965 | 20:30 |
| redvamp128 | Is there anyone in this room that knows how to fix shutdown issues? | 20:31 |
| darren | mckennie wlan0 | 20:31 |
| negge | redvamp128: what's your problem? | 20:31 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 20:31 |
| redvamp128 | I click shutdown | 20:31 |
| redvamp128 | and it will make the red line disapear but 1 hour later machine is still on | 20:31 |
| MrKennie | darren: ok | 20:31 |
| redvamp128 | I also have puppy linux 4.0 installed and it shutsdown perfectly | 20:32 |
| darren | mckennie its stange that the built in shows signel but not the usb like i say it might be the drivers | 20:32 |
| MrKennie | darren: I guess one way to disable that card is to blacklist the module | 20:32 |
| Strife89 | redvamp128: How old is your BIOS? | 20:32 |
| redvamp128 | so if there is a setting I can get from there | 20:32 |
| Azazel-AZ | mount -t auto /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 | 20:32 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: There's two - main menu and menu bar... .not sure which one you have - one is a start menu type thing, other is application , etc... theyboth contain the same items... | 20:32 |
| danbh_intrepid | redvamp128: i think its a known bug they are working on | 20:32 |
| negge | redvamp128: does your machine shut down if you open a terminal and write "sudo shutdown -h now"? | 20:32 |
| darren | mckennie that means if i wont to swap to the other one its not possilbe? | 20:32 |
| negge | I can't even click the shutdown icon without hanging my system... always have to do it the manual way. | 20:32 |
| redvamp128 | I have a HP Pavillian XT846 | 20:32 |
| MrKennie | darren: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the line "blacklist iwl4965" (without quotes) | 20:33 |
| Chlorate | special device /dev/scd0 does not exist | 20:33 |
| redvamp128 | I tried that and it does the same thing | 20:33 |
| darren | mckennie ok 1 min | 20:33 |
| redvamp128 | negge can I pm you? | 20:33 |
| MrKennie | darren: then reboot and plug in your usb adapter | 20:33 |
| Strife89 | !seen glitsj16 | 20:33 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 20:33 |
| Azazel-AZ | mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /media/cdrom0 | 20:33 |
| darren | mckenniw ok thank you i will give ita try | 20:33 |
| Azazel-AZ | bothers me that CD is primary and HD is secondary | 20:33 |
| ShackJack | !nick > ShackJack | 20:33 |
| ubottu | ShackJack, please see my private message | 20:33 |
| MrKennie | darren: yw, and best of luck. | 20:33 |

| tim167 | hi, when i activate restricted driver for video and reboot, i get blank screen, can anyone tell me how to de-activate it now ? thanks | 20:34 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist | 20:34 |
| sidewalk | how do i downgrade to an older version of libc6 ? | 20:34 |
| riegersn | how can i get client to see and follow symlinks on the server using nsf? | 20:34 |

| m4rk | my xfce menus don't appear, does anyone know how to get them back? | 20:35 |
| Kattollikisd | I installed a plugging in my amsn that is "Transparent", that plugging have to make my amsn look Transparent. but It doesn't look transparent, everytime that I do a Restart or shutdown with the amsn opened, is when look transparent for a seg. then close. and continue the restart. their something I can't do? | 20:35 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-Az, Toshiba Satellite A305D lol | 20:35 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: Dunno about XFCE but you should be able to right click panel then add a menu "widget" from there | 20:35 |
| butnuu | what do i need to install to get an ATHEROS wificard working on my laptop? | 20:35 |
| a_l_e | hello, for good reasons (blah blah blah blah ppc) i've installed a server version of ubuntu. now. what do i need to get gnome to work? | 20:35 |
| MrKennie | butnuu: madwifi I believe | 20:35 |
| butnuu | lspci says Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 04) | 20:36 |
| ShackJack | a_l_e: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 20:36 |
| m4rk | ShackJack: the panel has gone too! | 20:36 |
| butnuu | MrKennie, you mean apt-get install madwifi-tools? | 20:36 |
| briwood | 1 week ago, using network-admin I set a static ip, netmask and gateway & saved it as a "location." Today I deleted that location, but think somehow the settings are persisting because I am getting an ip conflict on a network. Have done 'network restart'. Wondering where to look for the problem... | 20:36 |
| soundray | butnuu: first, see if System-Admin-Hardware Drivers offers you a driver for your card | 20:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | butnuu: 32bit or 64bit? | 20:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: butnuu it will be listed in restircted driver, but it won't work | 20:36 |
| a_l_e | ok, thanks ShackJack... the last time i've tried to install just a minimal X11... but with no success... let's if, this time, i get a working system! | 20:36 |
| butnuu | 32bit | 20:36 |
| butnuu | IndyGunFreak, 32bit | 20:37 |
| Kattollikisd | I installed a plugging in my amsn that is "Transparent", that plugging have to make my amsn look Transparent. but It doesn't look transparent, everytime that I do a Restart or shutdown with the amsn opened, is when look transparent for a seg. then close. and continue the restart. their something I can't do? | 20:37 |
| soundray | butnuu: if that doesn't work, you should try compiling a recent version of madwifi. The eeepc help page has instructions for that: | 20:37 |
| butnuu | IndyGunFreak, so what can i do? | 20:37 |
| soundray | !eeepc | butnuu | 20:37 |
| ubottu | butnuu: Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 20:37 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: Open terminal window (run via Alt-F2) then run xcfe4-panel ? | 20:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | butnuu: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak" there's like 4 wireless discussinos going on here right now. | 20:37 |
| soundray | butnuu: (that laptop has a recent Atheros card which is probably similar to yours) | 20:37 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok try this, amybe over compilcationg issue. click on places on top menu, is there a cd rom option | 20:38 |
| m4rk | ShackJack: is that the name of it? hmm, it says command not found. It was working fine up until day before yesterday | 20:38 |
| butnuu | soundray, cool | 20:38 |
| Azazel-AZ | if not click on computer and look in there | 20:38 |
| butnuu | soundray, i'll try that | 20:38 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: xfce-panel (had it fc backwards) | 20:38 |
| butnuu | thanks | 20:38 |
| fwaokda | what is considered the best program for connecting to a server via ssh? | 20:38 |
| MrKennie | fwaokda: ssh | 20:39 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: actually xfce4-panel | 20:39 |
| trans | hello | 20:39 |
| m4rk | ShackJack: thanks, that's got it back! :) :) | 20:39 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: np | 20:39 |
| m4rk | now the question is, why isnt that loading during startup | 20:39 |
| fwaokda | MrKennie, is it free? | 20:39 |
| m4rk | I'll go and look into that | 20:39 |
| MrKennie | fwaokda: sure, it should be installed by default | 20:39 |
| ShackJack | m4rk: Mm.... not sure right click on it or go to cp and make sure either top-or bottom one is selected... | 20:40 |
| Azazel-AZ | I must admit, this problem caught me off guard. whl would guess we can't read the cd | 20:40 |
| === root is now known as Guest10422 | ||
| MrKennie | fwaokda: just open a terminal and type ssh yourusername@somewhere.net | 20:40 |
| fwaokda | hmm ok thanks | 20:40 |
| Strife89 | Audacity is still giving me trouble | 20:40 |
| Strife89 | .... | 20:40 |
| trans | i've got a problem with flash, it has no audio; I had a problem with sound before and fixed it by setting "ADC capture/output device" as the sound output device in the sound preferences dialogue. Is there either a way to make flash use a similar enough setting or is there a way to fix this problem properly? | 20:41 |
| fwaokda | MrKennie, sweet thanks it worked | 20:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Azazel-AZ: google will turn up zip files of 64bit drivers for that device | 20:41 |
| Azazel-AZ | do you see the cd drive under computer? | 20:41 |
| MrKennie | fwaokda: cool, you're welcome | 20:41 |
| soundray | trans: try 'sudo apt-get install libflashsupport' | 20:41 |
| soundray | !info libflashsupport | trans | 20:42 |
| Azazel-AZ | indy, lets just get it working to start. we can't mount the dang driver cd ugh. | 20:42 |
| ubottu | trans: libflashsupport (source: libflashsupport): Support library for sound output of Flash 9 with pulseaudio. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.9-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 64 kB | 20:42 |
| Azazel-AZ | chlorate: still with us? | 20:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | Azazel-AZ: good luck | 20:42 |
| trans | ok thanks, i'll try that | 20:42 |
| Chewy_ | hello | 20:43 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, Im so sorry I forgot I was on battery lol and my computer died. I had to plug it in. It mounted btw. If it makes any difference APPARENTLY it was a DVD. | 20:43 |
| soundray | trans: restart firefox after the installation | 20:43 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, I had no clue it was a DVD. I figured it was a CD also. | 20:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 20:43 |
| Chewy_ | can someone help me? im trying to use testdisk and i dont know where recovered files go or what im doing really | 20:43 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, so open it with the places menu computer and open the disk up so we can get the drive off it | 20:44 |
| * anris hugs Chewy_ looks like me | 20:44 | |
| === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 | ||
| Kattollikisd | I installed a plugging in my amsn that is "Transparent", that plugging have to make my amsn look Transparent. but It doesn't look transparent, everytime that I do a Restart or shutdown with the amsn opened, is when look transparent for a seg. then close. and continue the restart. their something I can't do? | 20:45 |
| Chewy_ | anris: umm okay | 20:45 |
| * Drk_Guy realizes the speed of his new vanilla kernel, but he realizes he has to go | 20:45 | |
| soundray | Chewy_: testdisk comes with extensive docs. Start here: /usr/share/doc/testdisk/html/testdisk.html | 20:45 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, lemme find iy | 20:45 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, Any clue what it'd be called btw? | 20:46 |
| Stonehambey | is this the right channel for ubuntu beginners? | 20:46 |
| redvamp128 | no good on the "sudo shutdown -h now" still hung and didn't power off the computer | 20:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Chlorate_: usually they are .inf files | 20:46 |
| Azazel-AZ | look for a drivers folder, then there will be 2000 nt xp vista etc | 20:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stonehambey: no, we're all l33t experts. :).. of course its for beginners | 20:46 |
| Azazel-AZ | inside say the xp open xp | 20:46 |
| Chewy_ | soundray: i dont know where to find that directory, im very very new to ubuntu/linux | 20:46 |
| anris | #ubuntu-women | 20:47 |
| anris | 20:47 | |
| anris | For Ubuntu women | 20:47 |
| trans | soundray: that didn't seem to work. do i need to configure anything after i install that package? | 20:47 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-AZ, It's vista though | 20:47 |
| Stonehambey | ah ok, I was put off by the number of people in here :P | 20:47 |
| ShackJack | anris: You want /join #ubuntu-women | 20:47 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, then open the vista directory | 20:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stonehambey: :) | 20:47 |
| Chewy_ | soundray: where can i go to access usr folder? | 20:47 |
| ShackJack | Stonehambey: Most are in active convo - just lurking... | 20:47 |
| ShackJack | *aren't | 20:47 |
| soundray | Chewy_: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter 'firefox /usr/share/doc/testdisk/html/testdisk.html' | 20:48 |
| anris | thx :) | 20:48 |
| Chewy_ | thanks | 20:48 |
| Stonehambey | ah, the usual IRC pastime of lurking :P | 20:48 |
| Stonehambey | I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about fan drivers? Since I'm having a bit of a problem with my fan running high when using ubuntu | 20:48 |
| Azazel-AZ | copy vista folder to your desktop, just drag and drop | 20:49 |
| Azazel-AZ | get entire folder | 20:49 |
| soundray | trans: depending on what you've tried up until now, you may have to undo those changes. Or perhaps you didn't really restart firefox -- perhaps log out and back in again to make sure. | 20:49 |
| anris | fan? depens on how hot your pc is? | 20:49 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, sec | 20:49 |
| ShackJack | Stonehambey: Not sure there are fan drivers - I think that's related to the mboard(?) | 20:49 |
| Stonehambey | it's a hp dv2700 notebook | 20:50 |
| Stonehambey | when I run ubuntu, the fan is consistently high | 20:50 |
| Stonehambey | I have spoken to various linux people and forums, but nothing seems to have solved it so far :( | 20:50 |
| bavardage | Stonehambey: what's teh probs | 20:50 |
| Fixedy | hello party people | 20:50 |
| * bavardage has just joined channel | 20:50 | |
| Stonehambey | which is a shame, cos I really like it otherwise :) | 20:50 |
| bavardage | never know.. may be able to help | 20:50 |
| ShackJack | Stonehambey: Tell the fan to "just say no" ;) Seriously though, is there perhaps a setting in BIOS that maybe can adjust it? | 20:51 |
| Chewy_ | if im trying to find a ntfs partition with testdisk and it wasnt ever bootable will it be findable? | 20:51 |
| spunk | Hello, I need to help a friend through "remote desktop". I recon it is VNC underneath. The problem is that my friend is behind a NAT (a "router"). Which port should he open/forward in the NAT? | 20:51 |
| Fixedy | So I was wondering if you nice people could tell me how to raise the file limit on a partition without reformatting it | 20:51 |
| bobertdos | Stonehambey: The only way to have any effect on fans at the software level is upgrade chipset and so forth on the motherboard. Now, one thing that may help fan activity is to not use compiz. Your video card has to work harder with that and of course, that will heat your system. | 20:51 |
| bavardage | Stonehambey: what model computer? | 20:51 |
| bavardage | not a dell? | 20:51 |
| Stonehambey | I heard about BIOS | 20:51 |
| Gnea | Fixedy: file limit? | 20:51 |
| casp3 | hello | 20:51 |
| bavardage | Stonehambey: not a dell, is it? | 20:52 |
| Stonehambey | here is some more info I posted on a programming board I'm a member of :) | 20:52 |
| Fixedy | yeah, like the maximal number of files you can create on the partition | 20:52 |
| Stonehambey | http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=106767 | 20:52 |
| spunk | In addition: does the "remote desktop" facility support any sort of firewall traversal? like uPNP or so...? | 20:52 |
| Chewy_ | anyone know? | 20:52 |
| casp3 | anybody know if its possible to sort albums by genre in rhythmbox ? | 20:52 |
| Stonehambey | I was on the phone to a linux expert for about 45 mins and we managed to figure out that it's not an acpi issue | 20:52 |
| banisterfiend_ | hey guys how come when i turn 'swap on' in my partition editor the next time i boot my computer it's not automatically turned on? i have to turn it on each time...how do i make it so it stays on automatically each time i boot? | 20:52 |
| Gnea | Fixedy: what sort of wall have you hit? | 20:52 |
| Stonehambey | whatever that means :P | 20:52 |
| bavardage | what does acpi -t report? | 20:52 |
| soundray | Chewy_: testdisk looks for signatures of partitions when the partition table is invalid. Whether it will find a partition or not depends on how extensive the corruption is, not on whether it was ever bootable or not. | 20:52 |
| bavardage | as in are things rather hot? | 20:52 |
| bavardage | or are the fans just running w/o reason | 20:52 |
| Stonehambey | w/o reason | 20:53 |
| ShackJack | Stonehambey: Are you still just running the live version of Ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| bavardage | banisterfiend_: /etc/fstab | 20:53 |
| Chewy_ | soundray: well i reformated it somehow on accident today :( | 20:53 |
| redvamp128 | I can deal with the shutdown issue for me 2 options (rebboot and turn off as soon as bios screen flashes) or boot into puppy linux and use it to shutdown | 20:53 |
| Stonehambey | about 15 mins after I fire it up | 20:53 |
| Stonehambey | the fan runs high | 20:53 |
| redvamp128 | I have the same issue as the above guy | 20:53 |
| Fixedy | Gnea: I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but it tells me the HDD is full even though there's plenty of space available, and since I recently had a script create over a million tiny files, I figured that was the problem | 20:53 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: add a line for it to /etc/fstab | 20:53 |
| bavardage | banisterfiend_: edit /etc/fstab and add in the swap | 20:53 |
| Stonehambey | and doesn't slow down until I turn the machine off | 20:53 |
| soundray | !fstab > banisterfiend_ | 20:53 |
| ubottu | banisterfiend_, please see my private message | 20:53 |
| banisterfiend_ | soundray: can't i do it through the partition editor thougH? | 20:53 |
| Gnea | Fixedy: okay, can you pastebin the exact error please? | 20:53 |
| redvamp128 | I have a swapfile on partition- of second drive but can't get ubuntu to use it instead of the small one on the 1st drive | 20:53 |
| banisterfiend_ | i mean without having to actually manually edit config files?!/ | 20:53 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: no | 20:53 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, I didn't find any vista folder. | 20:54 |
| Chewy_ | soundray: if i reformated will it be able to recover that? (quick format) | 20:54 |
| Azazel-AZ | on dvd, what are the folders and/or files you see? | 20:54 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: there is nothing wrong with "manually" editing config files | 20:54 |
| Stonehambey | I get 56 degrees C, when I try acpi -t | 20:54 |
| soundray | Chewy_: I don't know | 20:54 |
| Stonehambey | is that hot? | 20:54 |
| banisterfiend_ | i know that soundray, i just dont understand why there isn't a way to do it automatically | 20:54 |
| banisterfiend_ | are you sure there isn't? | 20:54 |
| bobertdos | Stonehambey: that IS pretty hot | 20:54 |
| Azazel-AZ | 56c = 132f | 20:54 |
| Azazel-AZ | thats ok for a cpu | 20:55 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: you can reinstall ubuntu. That will generate a new /etc/fstab | 20:55 |
| Stonehambey | hmm, the laptop has been on for a while, although I do use a laptop cooler | 20:55 |
| Fixedy | Gnea: well, not really. because it's dependant on what program i try to create the file with. PHP tells me it couldn't open the file as there is no disk space left, for example | 20:55 |
| bavardage | Stonehambey: mine is currently 62 degrees, but that's been at 100% for past 10 mins or so | 20:55 |
| Stonehambey | and feeling the bottom of the laptop it's not any hotter than usual | 20:55 |
| * bavardage is compiling a kernel | 20:55 | |
| Azazel-AZ | chlorate: still here? | 20:55 |
| bavardage | banisterfiend_: DONT REINSTALL | 20:56 |
| bavardage | really no reason | 20:56 |
| bavardage | you almost never have to reinstall linux | 20:56 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, well Ive looked and the only thing I found was netcfg.ini | 20:56 |
| THCloud | hi everyone, can anyone tell me how to make .NFO files in ubuntu? | 20:56 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, thats good, drag it to desktop | 20:56 |
| banisterfiend_ | soundray: well i see the swap in the file, it's /dev/sda3 so why doesn't it automatically turn on when i boot my system? | 20:56 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: I agree with bavardage. | 20:56 |
| elninja | When running certain applications, there's a process that causes a spike in CPU usage every 10 seconds or so. Anyone know how I can quickly determine which process is causing this? Maybe a way to log resource usage of different applications over a period of time? | 20:57 |
| bavardage | banisterfiend_: pastebin your /etc/fstab | 20:57 |
| Gnea | Fixedy: okay - is this occuring on the system you're on, or a remote system? | 20:57 |
| banisterfiend_ | ok | 20:57 |
| Azazel-AZ | there is no .inf or .sys files on dvd? | 20:57 |
| bavardage | elninja: I'd install and run htop | 20:57 |
| bavardage | keep your eye on it | 20:57 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: because there is no way for any "automatic" procedure in ubuntu to know whether you want to use that swap partition for ubuntu. | 20:57 |
| redvamp128 | Azazel= If puppy shuts down ok- and it has the same kernel is there something I can look for on it to bring into ubuntu? | 20:57 |
| isleshocky77 | Azazel-AZ: So I tried firefox on another brand new users account and figured out that firefox works, but it's just incredibly slow. Like It takes 10 minutes to start, then 4 minutes per key click to type in the address bar. Anything? | 20:57 |
| trans | soundray: ok i see what's going on, i have an onboard sound card and a sb live card an even though i have the onboard card disabled in the bios, it is sending flash's sound to it rather than to the sb live card | 20:57 |
| elninja | thanks bavardage | 20:57 |
| Fixedy | Gnea: This is it. it's my own PC | 20:57 |
| mizipzor | what command to check what version of ubuntu i have | 20:58 |
| Gnea | Fixedy: try clearing your firefox cache | 20:58 |
| soundray | banisterfiend_: it could be dedicated swap space for another OS on your disk, or it could be a pure hibernate rather than a swap partition. | 20:58 |
| sidewalk | im having problems with libc6, it exits with status 139 | 20:58 |
| shaiguitar_ | mizipzor, uname -a ? | 20:58 |
| sidewalk | can someone please assist me? | 20:58 |

| Azazel-AZ | ls ~/wifi* | 21:19 |
| Fixedy | Gnea: The thing is, it works fine if I delete some files, but if I create a large portion again, the problem comes back. Which is also why I assumed i had reached the limit of files creatable | 21:20 |
| soundray | kthakore: to remove them, you would then have to 'dpkg --purge ooobasis3.0-base' | 21:20 |

| soundray | kthakore: it's definitely better than trying the update script, though | 21:21 |

| carandraug | KnomeDE: I don't think you can just list a directory as they're usually spread around a lot of folders. But if you don't want to search for them, just open openoffice document and see the choice of fonts it gives you | 21:21 |
| ScheissDroge1 | kunim: why not a package for later usage, but you need the install | 21:21 |
| souler | I need help installing Nvidia drrivers on linux. I insstalled the restricted ones but they aren't working. | 21:21 |
| Chewy_ | can someone help me with testdisk? | 21:22 |

| ScheissDroge1 | souler: HP=Homepage | 21:24 |
| souler | I did | 21:24 |
| soundray | kthakore: I've tried OOo3 on Mac OS. I think it's very nice | 21:24 |
| Gnea | Fixedy: and by 'useless', I'm referring to hardware that isn't required for the system to work minimally | 21:24 |
| carandraug | KnomeDE: you can take a look a this page as well https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts It shows the folders where they usually are. You can list those folders yourself or write a script that lists them all for you if you plan on doing that a lot of times | 21:24 |
| ScheissDroge1 | souler: Linux driver there ? | 21:24 |
| Fixedy | Gnea: makes sense. I'll be back in a second | 21:24 |
| sebastia1 | where can i change so i can change the sounds in gnome? | 21:24 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok, did it work in directory? | 21:24 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !envyNG | 21:25 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 21:25 |

| ScheissDroge1 | kunim: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ,sry | 21:28 |

| ScheissDroge1 | kunim: also configure monitor | 21:29 |
| magnetron | dmsuperman, i found a torrent client with web interface for you | 21:29 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: apt will never touch anything in your homedir, but everything in /usr/share/screenlets ought to be removed with purge. Try using apt-get instead of aptitude | 21:29 |
| kthakore | soundray, but then this will be orphaned when I delete oo3 with dpkg | 21:29 |
| kunim | ScheissDroge1: yes, everything looks fine now, resolution and refresh rate. | 21:29 |
| kunim | thanks again | 21:29 |
| ScheissDroge1 | :-D | 21:30 |
| Azazel-AZ | sorry iwconfig | 21:30 |
| azure | anyone knows ? | 21:30 |
| soundray | kthakore: yes, but you will be able to deal with that, since you're not a newbie :) | 21:30 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, Nope. Nothing there, same as last time. :\ | 21:30 |
| zelrikriando | Are the screenlets working for somebody? | 21:30 |
| ScheissDroge1 | souler: which card ? | 21:30 |
| Azazel-AZ | ifconfig | 21:30 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ugh :o, i wish they would just combine efforts and make one single command that does it all right. I always seem to get help from people who swear one command over the other, but admit both do stuff the other wont.. why is there two? | 21:30 |
| souler | one from the 7th series | 21:30 |
| kthakore | soundray, lol, but is it possible to include this command in the .deb file of oo.deb and then dpkg -i will take care of it ? | 21:31 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !who>souler | 21:31 |
| ubottu | souler, please see my private message | 21:31 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: As far as in my home dir though, i thought that was the point of purge? To remove configuration files, and start a program fully fresh | 21:31 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, I see only ethernet and local? | 21:31 |
| ScheissDroge1 | souler: got the driver from nvidia HP ? | 21:31 |
| Azazel-AZ | look at docs hold a sec. the driver is loaded, so it will work | 21:31 |
| soundray | kthakore: sure, you can regenerate the deb package, but how is that easier than doing 'sudo rm /usr/local/bin/o3' when the time has come? | 21:31 |
| souler | nope | 21:32 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: purge is to remove the global communication files. All you need to do to remove user configs is delete the stuff in your homedir | 21:32 |
| azure | anyone familiar with VPN ??? | 21:32 |
| ScheissDroge1 | souler: which card ? | 21:32 |
| Azazel-AZ | try this: ndisgtk | 21:32 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: The idea is: Should removing an email program remove all the email? What if you're switching from one program to another, and they use the same thing? etc | 21:32 |
| Azazel-AZ | apt-get install ndisgtk | 21:32 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ah, well its just one more step hehe | 21:32 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: aptitude sometimes does funny things if you don't *only* use aptitude. apt-get is generally a better bet. | 21:32 |
| Azazel-AZ | graphical installer | 21:32 |
| kthakore | soundray, true but I wanted to distribute this to my mom's comp so she can do one click install | 21:33 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Well, apart from that, the package knows nothing of anything in your homedir. Touching your homedir with package stuffs is a bad idea. | 21:33 |
| === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 | ||
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well, imo, yes, if you want to remove all traces of a program, then it should remove the emails. Imo, "purge" should "purge" your computer of the program, where as remove should just uninstall the program but not touch configs, etc. | 21:33 |
| kthakore | soundray, and she doesn't even know what a terminal is | 21:33 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, Okay. I can do this, it looks like windows. Lol. It's not code! | 21:33 |

| Azazel-AZ | I just found the reference to it. lol sorry | 21:33 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-Az, Okay. It says it is installed | 21:34 |

| ActionParsnip | mash: looks ok to me | 21:40 |
| darren__ | MrKennie: Are you still in the chat room | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: you got latest thunderbird | 21:40 |
| fixedy | gnea: ok then, I'll do that | 21:40 |
| Azazel-AZ | echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b43legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 21:40 |
| ScheissDroge1 | souler: ask tritium for an advice | 21:40 |
| mash | I just installed it today | 21:40 |
| soundray | kai`: it isn't, but ubuntu offers a package that will download and install the proprietary version for you (that's what that command is for) | 21:40 |
| mash | yes this is the last | 21:40 |
| Aquahallic | can someone tell me what the equivalent of a workgroup in linux.. as far as sharing out dirs and seeing them in "Places Network" | 21:40 |
| FiReSTaRT | i was wondering if someone can help me t-shoot y my mike isn't working | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: what servers you connecting to? | 21:41 |
| soundray | s/version/package/ | 21:41 |
| Gnea | fixedy: you can take a hard drive that ubuntu is on and install it in any computer, on any chain, and it will simply 'work' because it doesn't care what the primary/secondary is anymore :) | 21:41 |
| tritium | souler: have you used the ubuntu packages? | 21:41 |
| Gerinych | ScheissDroge1 what next | 21:41 |
| mash | i have a message like " the server is not an IMAP4 server" | 21:41 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Gerinych: is the unallocted next to ur systempartition ? | 21:41 |
| mash | the server is the one of by company. | 21:42 |
| Azazel-AZ | this removes a driver that conflicts with ndiswrapper apparently | 21:42 |
| Gerinych | ScheissDroge1 they're on the same hard drive, if that's what you mean | 21:42 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-AZ, okay. | 21:42 |
| FiReSTaRT | i tried removing/reinstalling/playing with alsa but no dice | 21:42 |
| Azazel-AZ | reboot | 21:42 |
| darren__ | Hi every one just to say mrkennie was a great help but i have one more small question for some one. with windows i can connect to my router with the web key but under ubuntu it is not possilbe to connect does any one know why | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Not_an_IMAP4_server | 21:42 |
| Chlorate_ | Azazel-AZ, okay brb | 21:42 |
| fixedy | gnea: how do I find out which hd the maxtor is (i.e. hd0) | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: please direct your replys by putting my name at the start of the line, you can tab complete it | 21:43 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren is it a 128bit key? | 21:43 |
| fixedy | gnea: is it the same as sdd? | 21:43 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Gerinych: i mean : in gparted, is it above or below your sys-partition ? no other partitits between ? | 21:43 |
| ph8 | What does it mean when 'last' shows a crash in the status column? | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !last | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about last | 21:43 |
| darren__ | FiReSTaRT: not sure its wep thats all i know i have only been using wifi 3 days | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !info last | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Package last does not exist in hardy | 21:44 |
| Gnea | fixedy: it's going to be the second one, and grub always knows the first to be (hd0), the second to be (hd1), and so on... | 21:44 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, how many characters? | 21:44 |
| Gerinych | ScheissDroge1 it's above my linux partition and below my windows partition, i want to add it to the linux one | 21:44 |
| mash | ActionParsnip: oki :D I'll check your link thank you very much | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: np bro, hope it helps | 21:44 |
| Gnea | fixedy: the only thing that won't work right is grub configuration menu - that will need to be editted later, but you can get around it in the meantime | 21:44 |
| marcules | Hi there | 21:44 |
| mash | ActionParsnip: I think it will | 21:45 |
| darren__ | FiReSTaRT: 13 and also to add i connect to free wifi but not mine | 21:45 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, Okay back. Now what? | 21:45 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, 13+? (btw sorry 4 slow typing byt im doin it 1handed, busted collar bone) | 21:45 |
| Azazel-AZ | try system | admin | network again | 21:45 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, I did. Nothing there. | 21:45 |
| kai` | soundray: thx for your patience. it works now for me. :) | 21:45 |
| michaelbradley | humor me, please. If I'm running Ubuntu server and want to install gnome desktop so that software is living on my machine, will it be required that I also install X on the server (I don't actually plan to run X on the server) | 21:45 |
| Azazel-AZ | ok. pop terminal again and sudo -s | 21:45 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Gerinych: k, no other partits between unalloc. and linux, you need a live cd.. | 21:45 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, ok i had the same problem... convert the key to hex and enter it as 40/128bit hex | 21:46 |
| Azazel-AZ | atleast conflict is gone | 21:46 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, ok i had the same problem... convert the key to hex and enter it as 40/128bit hex | 21:46 |
| soundray | kai`: well done | 21:46 |
| Gerinych | ScheissDroge1 yeah that's right, what do i do with the live cd | 21:46 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Gerinych: you can't resize while being mounted, so have to do from live or another system | 21:46 |
| FiReSTaRT | ill give u a link | 21:46 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, Alright. Now what | 21:47 |
| Gerinych | ScheissDroge1 ok then ill try to do something | 21:47 |
| fixedy | Gnea: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition (my command: setup (hd1)) | 21:47 |
| Azazel-AZ | ndiswrapper -l (reality check, make sure it came back up) | 21:47 |
| darren__ | FiReSTaRT: sorry i got disconnected sorry but how do you do that | 21:47 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Gerinych: in live, open gparted again : then : right-click on your linux-partit. > rezise... | 21:47 |
| Gnea | fixedy: were you able to set the root correctly? | 21:47 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/ enter the key there and click on translate | 21:47 |
| darren__ | FiReSTaRT: ok thank you i will have a look | 21:47 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Gerinych: boot in live, come back here, if you want | 21:48 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, when u enter it ignore the % characters just enter it with no spaces | 21:48 |
| Rakeer | Azazel-AZ: In Phx eh? Im in tucson ;) | 21:48 |
| Azazel-AZ | kewl. | 21:48 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, command not found. | 21:48 |

| fixedy | gnea: yes. | 21:48 |
| Azazel-AZ | ndiswrapper -l should be was there a minute ago | 21:48 |
| FiReSTaRT | darren__, good luck it did the trick 4 me | 21:48 |
| tritium | ScheissDroge1: he never replied to me | 21:48 |
| Gnea | fixedy: weird.... can you disconnect IBM and boot the livecd and do it from there? | 21:49 |

| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, oops spelled it wrong. hahaha. It's there and installed | 21:50 |
| ScheissDroge1 | tritium :he's offline, thata specialist | 21:50 |
| Gnea | fixedy: okay | 21:50 |

| Azazel-AZ | action, I'm on that page thanx | 21:50 |
| KenBW2 | anyone know anything about Virgin Media? | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: aww man, its always something simple | 21:50 |
| tritium | ScheissDroge1: he was still here when I was trying to work with him. | 21:50 |
| Azazel-AZ | did driver load correctly | 21:50 |
| magnetron | KenBW2, what do you want to know? | 21:50 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, I think so | 21:51 |
| KenBW2 | magnetron: is there any reason it can have problems with ubuntu | 21:51 |
| ScheissDroge1 | tritium:homeeless camper... | 21:51 |
| Azazel-AZ | lsmod | grep -i ndiswrapper | 21:51 |
| mash | ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | mash: no worries duder, help where you can | 21:51 |
| mash | ActionParsnip: :D | 21:51 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, okay. | 21:51 |
| magnetron | KenBW2, Virgin Media is a company. | 21:52 |
| KenBW2 | magnetron: the broadband service | 21:52 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: I use VM and I have no problems at all | 21:52 |
| magnetron | KenBW2, if they offer you internet access, i see no reason for trouble | 21:52 |
| benjaminvm | does anyone know how to get kernel headers from kernel source? | 21:53 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie, magnetron: i've been using it with Vista for ages with no problems. just installed ubuntu and pages seem to load erratically | 21:53 |
| Chlorate | Azazel-AZ, I have to go! Sorry, thank you for all your help. | 21:53 |
| tritium | benjaminvm: from the headers package | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | benjaminvm: sudo apt-get install kernel-headers | 21:53 |
| Azazel-AZ | I'll check in tomorrow at 9:00 arizona time (utc -7) to follow up wit hya | 21:53 |
| benjaminvm | tritium: i am compiling a arm linux package | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | benjaminvm: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | benjaminvm: id use tab to autocomplete some | 21:54 |
| magnetron | KenBW2, "pages seem to load erratically" is a little vague description | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | erUSUL: nice one | 21:54 |
| purpleback | i have a question related to wireless | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | purpleback | 21:54 |
| ubottu | purpleback: 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. :-) | 21:54 |
| tritium | benjaminvm: there are multiple linux-headers-* packages in the repositories | 21:54 |
| purpleback | for a long time my laptop was able to find my home internet connection | 21:54 |
| Azazel-AZ | I'l out of here. any more questions? | 21:54 |
| purpleback | and now it cant find it ; ; | 21:54 |
| KenBW2 | magnetron: sorry. certain opages just refuse to load/load really slowly, at random times | 21:54 |
| benjaminvm | i have already made modifications to the kernel, it has to specificly from this source tree | 21:54 |
| purpleback | when i manually set up the connection nothing happens | 21:54 |
| magnetron | KenBW2, there is no apparent reason for that | 21:54 |
| KenBW2 | magnetron: but its like 50% of pages, so its pretty annoying | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | ActionParsnip: i have autocompletion for this on my irssi config ;) headers<tab> and voilà! | 21:55 |
| Azazel-AZ | later | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: power router off and on as well as system system, see what you get | 21:55 |
| purpleback | did that | 21:55 |
| KenBW2 | magnetron: is there any... any reason it could be down to ubuntu | 21:55 |
| mash | Ok I leave, see you guys | 21:55 |
| benjaminvm | tritium: some sort of "make" target? | 21:55 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: like I said, I use VM and have had no issues like that. | 21:55 |
| tritium | benjaminvm: sorry, can't help you there | 21:55 |
| FiReSTaRT | question: mike wont record.. sound output fine.. reinstalled and played w/ alsa.. no go | 21:55 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: but i mean theoretically | 21:56 |
| magnetron | KenBW2, i have never heard about any similar issues | 21:56 |
| guntbert | KenBW2: try another browser | 21:56 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: and there's no reason your choice of OS would effect internet performance. | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: if you manually set your settings does it work? | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: have you hidden your essid | 21:56 |
| KenBW2 | guntbert: tried Opera and FF | 21:56 |
| purpleback | 1st question) no 2nd) no | 21:57 |
| guntbert | KenBW2: and your proxy-settings are ok? | 21:57 |
| LHewitt | Does anybody know how to clear the print jobs? | 21:57 |
| Martin_vW | seahorse just crashed on my computer, I would like to submit the apport bugreport - but wouldn't the coredump contain personal data like private keys? | 21:57 |
| fixedz | Gnea: Ok, I am on a live cd, could you send me that link again? | 21:58 |
| KenBW2 | guntbert: surely if that was wrong *nothing* would work...? | 21:58 |
| purpleback | actionparsnip: i do get this weird message though when i manually set it up: "Changing interface configuration" | 21:58 |
| purpleback | actionparsnip: i dont remember getting that before | 21:58 |
| LHewitt | Does anybody know how to clear the print jobs? | 21:58 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: how are you connected to the internet? Are you using wireless? | 21:58 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: wired modem | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: you'll get that when you apply the setting | 21:59 |
| Gnea | !grub | fixedz | 21:59 |
| ubottu | fixedz: 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 | 21:59 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: USB connection or ethernet? | 21:59 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: ethernet | 21:59 |
| purpleback | ActionParsnip: when i try to access the internet after i manually set it up it never gets to the point that it says "cannot be found" | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: are you using ndiswrapper for your wifi? | 21:59 |
| purpleback | ActionParsnip: it just loads forever. i dont know what that is i | 21:59 |
| === fixedz is now known as fixedy | ||
| MrKennie | KenBW2: OK, this information helps although I do not know why you are experiencing problems. | 21:59 |
| guntbert | KenBW2: not if the proxy has got problems | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: can you ping your router? | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | LHewitt: «sudo lprm -» | 22:00 |
| purpleback | ActionParsnip: how do i do that? | 22:00 |
| soundray | Martin_vW: it's possible. Don't submit such information if you have been using valuable keys. Try to reproduce the problem as a different user which you set up only for testing, then you can be sure you aren't transmitting anything private | 22:00 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: cycle the power on your modem | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: in terminal, ping <routers ip> | 22:00 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: cycle? | 22:00 |
| purpleback | actionparsnip: is my router's IP my dns? | 22:00 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: power it off, leave it a few seconds and power it on again | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | purpleback: no your gateaway | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: its your default gateway's ip | 22:01 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: tried that | 22:01 |
| purpleback | how do i find that? | 22:01 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: im in vista now, with no problems at all | 22:01 |
| LHewitt | Thanks, erUSUL, but does that check for all printers? | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: read your manual for what ip you put in yuor browser to configure the router | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: ping that ip | 22:01 |

| dusty_ | cloned output, what am i doing wrong and how cna i fix this ? | 22:01 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: well, if you're not in ubuntu I doubt anyone can help. | 22:01 |
| purpleback | nope not working | 22:01 |
| purpleback | "Destination Host Unreachable" | 22:02 |

| KenBW2 | MrKennie: id like to use ubuntu again (i hate vista), but if i cant use the net then its pretty annoying | 22:02 |
| purpleback | urm how can i check? >.< *sorry for being stupid* | 22:02 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: btw, if I were you, enable the firewall. In terminal type sudo ufw enable | 22:02 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: what will that do | 22:02 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: enable the ubuntu firewall | 22:03 |

| KenBW2 | MrKennie: i guessed that. but why] | 22:03 |
| deepfriedsquirre | A favourite app for a particular purpose seems to be shared by the whole system, as opposed to a particular application, so KDE apps get launched even by Gnome and XFCE apps (e.g. Konqueror being launched by Pidgin). This annoys me, since I like to have apps for the DE in session launched. I seem to remember coming across a command in Debian a while back called update-alternatives or something, which I think had something to do with it. | 22:03 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: or you can install and use firestarter or whatever | 22:03 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: either that or you're wide open to the internet | 22:03 |
| Gnea | fixedy: make sure your root is set correctly | 22:03 |
| fixedy | gnea: found the problem, forgot to go to grub, sorrz | 22:03 |
| Martin_vW | soundray: I already had apport submit the files to launchpad, but I didn't post the bug report. Oh well, I just hope the best :) | 22:03 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: oh, youd recommend that to any PC, not just mine? | 22:03 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: any pc that is directly connected yea | 22:04 |

| oneQuestion1 | gusy, i've set chmod -R ugo+rwx /D and from root i've created a file /D/new.txt I opened this file from the normal user and after adding something to it i don't have the permissions to save it ... why? because i said ugo+rwx and -R | 22:04 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: pastebin the output of 'mount' | 22:04 |
| MrKennie | KenBW2: anyway, your problem, you can try using ping and mtr to see if you get any packet loss | 22:05 |
| KenBW2 | MrKennie: will try in a sec then, thanks | 22:05 |
| soundray | Martin_vW: it's not worth using hard cryptography if you then risk compromise like that. It's best to delete your keys and regenerate them. | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: well did it work out of the box or did you have to set it up? | 22:05 |
| erUSUL | oneQuestion1: well the file was created by root so it is owned by root and has the permissions the root's umask says | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | purpleback: please direct your text | 22:05 |
| fixedy | gnea: ok, grub is installed, am rebooting | 22:05 |
| purpleback | ActionParsnip: dont know how :D to that direct the text thing, also it worked out of the box | 22:05 |

| TBKDan | Any idea how to save a smb url in nautilus in the user@server format? ie, smb://user@server/share It always takes out the user@ for me.. :( | 22:08 |

| corunum | well I read I need to get my cd drive to be the first in boot priority, but I'm not sure how | 22:09 |
| Gnea | fixedy: cool | 22:09 |
| corunum | and no, it doesn't boot straight to the cdrom | 22:09 |
| vassler | does anyone know of a good program for ubuntu that designs web pages and other html stuff? | 22:09 |
| Savago | corunum, that depends on the BIOS of your pc. | 22:09 |

| Savago | Like F1, F5, etc. | 22:10 |

| oneQuestion1 | so if i made any change to /etc/fstab how can i apply it without rebooting the computer? | 22:11 |
| TBKDan | F12 is temp boot device select* | 22:11 |
| TBKDan | oneQuestion1: mount -a | 22:11 |
| erUSUL | oneQuestion1: sudo mount -a -o remount | 22:11 |
| corunum | let me reboot to see | 22:11 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: remount the partitions you made changes to | 22:11 |
| xindo | corunum: need to enter setup, find the boot order, it's got instructions there, change cd to first boot device | 22:11 |
| Backtrack3 | on my vostro it's F1 for bios and then you can scooch drives up and down in boot order I think | 22:11 |
| Savago | corunum, relax. Is not possible to do any damage when running from live cdrom. | 22:11 |
| ScheissDroge1 | oneQuestion1: sudo unmount -a && sudo mount -a | 22:11 |
| corunum | well I'm not running from a live cd, at least I don't think so | 22:11 |
| jrib | ScheissDroge1: that won't work right | 22:11 |
| guntbert | ScheissDroge1: umount is better:) | 22:12 |

| ice799 | Hi there -- I am sshing to an ubuntu box from my OSX box and my delete key does not work as expected. This is odd because my other linux boxes (which are not ubuntu) understand what I am typing just fine - is there some weird option I need to set in ubuntu to make it behave properly ? | 22:12 |
| ScheissDroge1 | jrib: for the system partiton not, a see guntbert | 22:12 |
| ScheissDroge1 | oneQuestion1: sudo umount -a && sudo mount -a | 22:12 |
| Savago | corunum, congrats. :-) | 22:12 |

| === joshua__ is now known as xomp | ||
| corunum | okay so do I put the cdrom a number 1? | 22:13 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: do anything that was suggested above but not what ScheissDroge1 has said | 22:13 |
| oneQuestion1 | if chmod isn't enough to let a normal user write to my file .. then what should i do? | 22:13 |
| xindo | corunum: yes | 22:13 |
| Evas | hello i have a problem to comiple a driver for an usb EDGE modem | 22:13 |
| mindrape | oneQuestion1: if chmod isnt enough then you did it wrong... | 22:13 |
| ScheissDroge1 | jrib: why ? root won't be unmounted.. | 22:13 |

| Evas | the driver on the cd works fine for kernel 2.6.24 of hardy | 22:14 |

| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:14 |
| guntbert | oneQuestion1: you might try chmod -v ..., so it isn't so quiet | 22:14 |
| Evas | but on intrepid 2.6.27 fail | 22:14 |
| erUSUL | oneQuestion1: you said you did the chmod to the directory *before* creating the file. how on earth would the chmod affect a non existing file ??? | 22:14 |

| kbrooks | Um... | 22:15 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: pastebin the output of 'mount' | 22:15 |
| geirha | oneQuestion1: that command removed all permissions | 22:15 |

| Evas | erUSUL, i want to try to fix now before it is too late (after the release) | 22:15 |
| erUSUL | oneQuestion1: becouse you created the file as root!!! only root can change it! | 22:16 |
| oneQuestion1 | how could i do it wrong? i said "chmod -Rv a+rwx /D" and i cant write to /D/new.txt ... why? SORRY | 22:16 |
| jrib | !who | oneQuestion1 | 22:16 |
| ubottu | oneQuestion1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 22:16 |
| mindrape | erUSUL: dont be ignorant... w chmod you can make it so others can edit roots files. | 22:16 |
| erUSUL | Evas: take that to #ubuntu+1 that's where you can find help about it | 22:16 |
| corunum | I got a [!!] Configure the network window that says network autoconfiguration failed | 22:16 |

| corunum | whats DHCP guys? | 22:17 |
| === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho | ||
| nDuff | oneQuestion1, can you show this happening (with ls -l and stat output for the file) in a pastebin? | 22:17 |
| Gnea | fixed1: awesome. now use it like you normally would and see if the problem happens again. | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | mindrape: o.0!!! yes but he didn't chmoded the file becouse the file did *not* existed when he did the chmod he created the file *after* doing the chmod. what's so hard to understand about it ??? | 22:17 |
| mindrape | corunum: its the protocol that assigns dynamic IP addresses. | 22:17 |
| geirha | oneQuestion1: Sounds like the file is on a filesystem that does not support permissions, like FAT or NTFS | 22:17 |
| nDuff | oneQuestion1, context is important; often, the problem isn't access to the file, but the directory that file is in | 22:18 |
| kbrooks | When I type "/etc/init.d/cryptdisks start" I get "Command failed: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument" and in dmesg there are three error messages: "device-mapper: table: 254:1: crypt: Device lookup failed", "device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table" and "device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.". | 22:18 |
| oneQuestion1 | my paste: 44009 | 22:18 |
| nDuff | oneQuestion1, can the non-root user trying to access the file change into the directory that file is in? | 22:18 |
| corunum | how do I find my ip adress? | 22:18 |
| Gnea | !dhcp | corunum | 22:18 |
| ubottu | corunum: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 22:18 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: you need the whole url | 22:18 |
| mindrape | erUSUL: timeframe is beside the point. If you do it recursive all others created after will inherit the same permissions. | 22:18 |
| nDuff | oneQuestion1, please provide a url, rather than just a paste number | 22:18 |
| kbrooks | oneQuestion1: link us. | 22:18 |
| ScheissDroge1 | jrib: what's wrong with umount -a ? | 22:18 |
| jrib | ScheissDroge1: will the command return success? | 22:18 |
| kbrooks | Why do I get these 4 error messages? | 22:19 |
| oneQuestion1 | nDuff: yes, he can | 22:19 |
| Gnea | corunum: right-click on the network icon on the upper-right and then on 'Connection Information' | 22:19 |
| oneQuestion1 | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44009/ .. i think | 22:19 |
| corunum | I'm talking to you guys on my desktop, I'm installing on my laptop | 22:19 |
| corunum | it's already in the install | 22:19 |
| ScheissDroge1 | jrib: did for me exept used systems | 22:20 |
| Gnea | corunum: then you'll have to wait for it to finish. | 22:20 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: your partition is fat. You need to set a proper umask in the mount options and not play around with chmod | 22:20 |
| geirha | oneQuestion1: It's FAT, that's the problem, you need to set the permission when you mount it | 22:20 |
| jrib | ScheissDroge1: so what did 'echo $?' say after? | 22:20 |
| Chewy_ | can someone help me with testdisk | 22:20 |
| corunum | I'll need help on how to do that later then :P | 22:20 |
| Chewy_ | in testdisk i did a scan then pressed p and then it just gave me terminal again. HELP! | 22:20 |
| ScheissDroge1 | jrib: never tried, whats your experience ? | 22:20 |
| Gnea | corunum: you won't be able to miss it, it'll be sticking out at you like a sore thumb :P | 22:20 |

| === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho | ||

| Chewy_ | can anyone help me!? | 22:21 |
| jrib | oneQuestion1: umask takes away permissions. Try 0000 | 22:21 |
| corunum | should I use the entire disk for ubuntu? | 22:21 |
| corunum | I only have a teeny 60gig hd | 22:21 |

| jrib | corunum: go for it! | 22:21 |
| Savago | corunum, do you have anything else installed in the system? | 22:22 |
| Gnea | Chewy_: don't make me go AFK. | 22:22 |
| corunum | windows vista :/ | 22:22 |
| Savago | If you choose the whole disk, you will have only Ubuntu available. | 22:22 |
| Savago | ;-) | 22:22 |
| corunum | I can live with that :) | 22:22 |
| ScheissDroge1 | jrib: in two comands , yes so e.g. a changed mountpoint was then mounted in new fstabs-order later | 22:22 |
| corunum | if something goes wrong my laptop wont be useless right? | 22:22 |
| Leefmc | Question: Slightly off topic, but what is the standard 7zip compression extension? Linux is starting to make me forget about extension names | 22:23 |
| jrib | ScheissDroge1: command1 && command2 will only execute command2 if command1 is successful | 22:23 |
| Gnea | no, you can still use it to play music | 22:23 |
| jrib | and as a paperweight always | 22:23 |

| kbrooks | Leefmc: .7z | 22:23 |

| mojo_ | how can it be done? | 22:26 |
| Gnea | mojo_: by deleting pages | 22:26 |
| carl0s | I am under ubuntu now but need to build some packages for debian. what would be the easiest way to achieve this without using tools like vmware or separate installs? | 22:26 |
| mojo_ | Gnea, lol... not possible! | 22:27 |
| Gnea | carl0s: impossible. | 22:27 |
| mojo_ | i need another solution. | 22:27 |
| fixed1 | gnea: mhm, how would I go on about finding out which and what the problem is? just plugging one in at a time and seeing if it stops working? | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mojo_: compress it | 22:27 |
| fixed1 | gnea: I mean, the IBM one _IS_ over 10 years old. Let's hope it's that one | 22:28 |
| Gnea | mojo_: wrong. you can setup a PDF printer and print separate pages, image them with gimp, then put them back together as PNG's in openoffice. | 22:28 |
| carl0s | gnea: possible. | 22:28 |

| Snipe | no whats acpi? | 22:39 |
| Gnea | Schuenemann: the main file might go back a few days | 22:39 |
| bavardage | tritium: two responded at once then to a flood which didn't exist, and thus created a flood themselves :P | 22:39 |
| erUSUL | Uriah: try: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M | 22:39 |
| mojo_ | Jordan_U, those were single pages i scanned as pdfs. then i merged them to 1 big pdf. | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | acpi is a power management software | 22:39 |
| Schuenemann | Gnea, that information is always at syslog?.gz ? | 22:39 |
| Snipe | k so why would I turn that off | 22:39 |
| mojo_ | Jordan_U, now i want to size that pdf down. | 22:39 |
| oneQuestion1 | everyone: THANKS GUYS see you | 22:39 |
| Gnea | Schuenemann: correct. | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: did you md5 check your cd image and the cd once it was burned? | 22:40 |
| Snipe | I didn't burn it | 22:40 |
| Uriah | ill try that, thank u bb in a little while | 22:40 |
| Snipe | its from ubuntu | 22:40 |
| Snipe | they sent me it | 22:40 |
| mojo_ | Jordan_U, loss in quality is no problem. is there a solution in gimp? cause i opened it there now. | 22:40 |
| Snipe | I have 4 cds they sent me | 22:40 |
| Schuenemann | Gnea, those files seem to be available for anyone logged? | 22:40 |
| Gnea | Schuenemann: only if they're part of the adm group | 22:41 |

| Tond | Hi, i ahve been trying to locate documentation on locking down users on ubuntu without any lock. I want to use it as desktop for a school yet done't want the students to have the right to view certain areas of the computer or be able to edit menus or change desktop wallpaper. How do I do this? | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: then select acpi=off | 22:41 |
| A[D]minS | Guys : VNC support 10 sessions active at same time? | 22:41 |
| Snipe | okay | 22:41 |
| Tond | file browsing i can probably do using file permissions | 22:41 |
| Schuenemann | Gnea, I see. Do you know how a failed attempt to log looks like in those files? | 22:41 |
| Snipe | you sure that will solve it | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Tond: make sure they are not a member of admin or sudoers | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: nothing is garunteed | 22:41 |
| Snipe | I rather not turn off my pc then try this then find it doesnt work then have to boot back on to suse | 22:41 |
| Gnea | Schuenemann: watch it actively and login incorrectly on purpose :) | 22:42 |
| Jordan_U | mojo_: I am not sure, I don't use gimp often. One thing you might be able to do would be to save each page as a low quality jpg then use Open Office or some other tool to make those into a PDF again | 22:42 |
| Snipe | well I want to know what else I should try if that doesnt work | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: well theres only one way to see | 22:42 |
| Tond | Action> they are not, but yet when i login as student account, i can do all that | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: theres also no dma you could try | 22:42 |
| mojo_ | Jordan_U, aha... | 22:42 |
| hocmin | I just added a new monitor and got it working fine with TwinView (nvidia). I'm playing an old FPS and it's trying to span across both monitors. Can I make it just be on one | 22:42 |
| spiritssight1 | Is there a way to have evoloution group msg like gmail does so you can read one after the other with out closing and then open next msg or hiting next msg | 22:42 |
| mojo_ | no one else here who plays around with pdfs? | 22:42 |
| Snipe | so any other ideas | 22:42 |
| Snipe | on stuff to try | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | hocmin: i usually end up disabling the second monitor when that happens, i've notfigured out how to not make it span, so i just disable the other monitor | 22:43 |
| Schuenemann | Gnea, hmm... nothing was appended when I failed a sudo | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: thats all you got, kernel options as it doesnt seem to boot to live cd. you could set your bios to failsafe settings too | 22:43 |
| Snipe | it boots the cd | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: and yuo could run the memtest which is no the cd too | 22:43 |
| Snipe | but | 22:43 |
| tyler | not bluetooth usb | 22:43 |
| Cpudan80 | mojo_: What are you trying to do? | 22:43 |
| hocmin | IndyGunFreak: Is there an easy way to do this without restarting x? | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | mojo_: Actually, can you open it in OO directly? | 22:44 |
| Snipe | it boots the cd but when I select like run ubuntu from live cd it does the ubuntu logo with loading screen for a bit, then goes to a shell | 22:44 |
| Tond | any other idea about locking down a desktop? | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler: run lsusb to see if its detected | 22:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | hocmin: disabling it, you won't need to restart X, when you re-enable it, you'll have to restart X | 22:44 |
| mojo_ | Cpudan80, i want to shrink a pdf | 22:44 |

| Jordan_U | Brucee: What do you mean "update links" ? | 22:45 |
| Cpudan80 | mojo_: Just print it back as a PDF again - with a lower quality setting | 22:45 |
| mojo_ | Jordan_U, i will try that. | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: id check your bios is set to failsafe and then try acpi off if its no good | 22:45 |
| mojo_ | Cpudan80, where? how? please describe shortly. | 22:45 |
| Cpudan80 | mojo_: IE Open it evince and reprint it with the quality setting lower | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | Brucee: updatedb will update the slocate database ( used when you try to search for a file with the locate / slocate command ) | 22:45 |
| Snipe | k idk where to go to put failsafe on | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: id also check your ram for errors as all that stuff gets put into ram to run | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Snipe: jump into bios and there will be an option, itll be safe or failsafe or similar, it varys wildly from bios to bios | 22:46 |

| OrangeKyo | DIFH-iceroot: what does that mean? does linux not understand file extensions? o.O | 23:27 |
| corunum | would it be easier to just install normal ubuntu and add the programs from studio manually? :/ | 23:27 |

| Area_51 | what is a good firewall | 23:49 |
| zelrikriando | I cannot get my emails from hotmail on thunderbird | 23:49 |
| carandraug | Area_51: iptables :p | 23:49 |
| Area_51 | !firewall | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:49 |
| traci | ScheissDroge1: One follow up question, the computer was kinda broke by me a year ago when I accidently formatted the HDD the computer was running on to work with a ps2 (opose to the slave drive) is it possible that just the the weird formatting would be cause ubuntu to be unable to install? | 23:49 |
| OrangeKyo | Area_51: have you heard of firestarter? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | xomp: you need flash | 23:50 |
| xomp | ActionParsnip, how I get it? | 23:50 |
| souler | <ActionParsnip> is it at the bottom I should paste it in? | 23:50 |
| maxflax | how do I get the list of programs in the lowerpanel to wide up.. it's gotten small and I can't expand it to the right, very annoying | 23:50 |
| Area_51 | no | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !flash | xomp | 23:50 |
| ubottu | xomp: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:50 |
| ScheissDroge1 | Area_51: ufw enable or install firestarter | 23:50 |
| dusty_ | Hey guys i am having some serious problems getting ubuntu 8, working with dual monitors 22" lcd and 14" crt. using a radeon 3450 hd card. i tried the fglrx driver via aticonfig etc but it doesn't work can anyone point me in the right direction ? | 23:50 |
| lint | hi, can someone help me with this? http://lint4690.deviantart.com/art/screwup-97210448 | 23:50 |
| xomp | danke herr ActionParsnip :3 | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | souler: you need to look at the screen sections of both and notice what you are missing | 23:50 |
| Area_51 | whats better iptable or firestarter | 23:50 |
| ScheissDroge1 | tracy: hard to say, you're in live now ? | 23:51 |
| Hyperkill | Is there an Ubuntu channel for people that don't need support and just want to chat? | 23:51 |
| zelrikriando | :/ | 23:51 |
| wL | what is a good IRC client for Ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| souler | <ActionParsnip> ok, thank you. If it wont work I will come back. | 23:51 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !ot | 23:51 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:51 |
| carandraug | Area_51: Ubuntu comes with ipyables already (like most, if not all Linux distributions). The interface can be a bit complicated. I've read that shorewall is probably th best | 23:51 |
| Area_51 | xchat | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zelrikriando: get a paid account | 23:51 |
| traci | umm no it's my mom's computer I messed up, Im home for the weekend, Im running from my laptop | 23:51 |
| wL | other than xchat | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zelrikriando: then you can use email apps like thunderbord | 23:51 |
| zelrikriando | ActionParsnip, ? | 23:51 |
| wL | I need something with good interface | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zelrikriando: you can get httpmail but ive never used it | 23:51 |
| soundray | gouki: gdm manages shutdown, suspend etc. as well. startx is nowhere near 2 seconds faster than gdm. If you can prepare xorg.conf to avoid autoconfiguration, that's going to save more time. | 23:52 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !who|traci | 23:52 |
| ubottu | traci: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:52 |
| zelrikriando | ActionParsnip, I just need to close my hotmail account... | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | wL: pidgin | 23:52 |
| zelrikriando | ActionParsnip, but for that I need to remove my mails from it | 23:52 |
| nach | how to create a keyboard shortcut to launch an application ? | 23:52 |
| Area_51 | i want a simplw one have used black ice befneder outpost and others | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | zelrikriando: go to the website then and close it | 23:52 |
| dusty_ | how do i setup dual monitors with an ati card under ubuntu 8.04 ? | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !irc | wL | 23:52 |
| traci | ScheissDrogel Sorry about that | 23:52 |
| ubottu | wL: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 23:52 |
| zelrikriando | ActionParsnip, no,it's not empty | 23:52 |
| carandraug | Area_51: firestarter is just an interface for iptables | 23:52 |
| ScheissDroge1 | traci: so can't reach it now? in live, try : sudo fdisk -l in terminal or run gparted, also check the bios for hd's recognized | 23:53 |
| Area_51 | dam sitting at the keyboard sideways makes for bad typing | 23:53 |
| Area_51 | ah ok | 23:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | dusty_: you'll need a bat wing, an onion, and the blood of a calf... then you'll need luck | 23:53 |
| Area_51 | shorewall is a complete package | 23:53 |
| zelrikriando | So I cannot empty my hotmail account | 23:53 |
| zelrikriando | That's odd | 23:53 |
| soundray | dusty_: System-Preferences-Screen Resolution | 23:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | zelrikriando: why not just go to hotmail.com? | 23:53 |
| jvai | lol @ indy | 23:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: i dont think its quite that easy w/ most of the ati device | 23:54 |
| benovic | I need a .fla editor for creating simple flash files (buttons with sound) - but I cant find anything. can someone help me? | 23:54 |
| jimmio | Windows says Explore2fs is not responding... harddrive is still going like crazy... so I'm guessing if I just leave it alone it'll transfer it? | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | actually, i know its not. | 23:54 |
| maxflax | how do I get the applikationlist wider so it spans all the way to the right.. it's in the panel.. I accidently removed it and now it's to small | 23:54 |
| zelrikriando | IndyGunFreak, I want to close my account | 23:54 |
| Area_51 | thank you i will read up on them | 23:54 |
| ScheissDroge1 | tracy: if bios finds the hd, formatting prbly hsn't killed it | 23:54 |
| maxflax | And I can't resize it | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | zelrikriando: ah, ok.. well, its microsoft.. so good luck..lol | 23:54 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: with some it is though, so it should be the first stop | 23:54 |
| carandraug | Area_51: "Shorewall is iptables made easy" so I've read. It doesn't has a GUI so you may prefer firestarter if you really want one | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: i guess my ATI dual screen experience was far different | 23:54 |
| tritium | ATI dual screens is relatively straighforward, now that the screen resolution applet supports xrandr | 23:55 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !dual | 23:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dual | 23:55 |
| Area_51 | oh | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | tritium: wellt hat may be the case now.. admittedly, my last experience getting screwed by ATI and dual screens, was w/ Edgy | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | !dualscreen | 23:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dualscreen | 23:56 |
| mojo_ | i need a command to downsize pdfs. | 23:56 |
| Area_51 | i just packed shoreshell | 23:56 |
| tritium | IndyGunFreak: I had to use xrandr from cli on gutsy, but the applet works fine on hardy | 23:56 |
| mojo_ | from 2.5 to 2.0 mb | 23:56 |
| Area_51 | shorewall* | 23:56 |
| soundray | ScheissDroge1, IndyGunFreak: the factoid is dualhead, but it's useless (outdated) | 23:56 |
| carandraug | Area_51: according to their website, "Shorewall is not the easiest to use of the available iptables configuration tools but I believe that it is the most flexible and powerful. So if you are looking for a simple point-and-click set-and-forget Linux firewall solution that requires a minimum of networking knowledge, I would encourage you to check out the following alternatives: kmyfirewall or firestarter" | 23:56 |
| ScheissDroge1 | traci: come back here from live | 23:56 |
| maxflax | *sig* | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | tritium: well, thats good.. nvidia is easy, takes me about 10sec and a reboot after a clean install. | 23:56 |
| ScheissDroge1 | soundray, thx ,testing | 23:56 |
| jvai | firestarter | 23:57 |
| Area_51 | thank you | 23:57 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !dualhead > ScheissDroge1 | 23:57 |
| ubottu | ScheissDroge1, please see my private message | 23:57 |
| jvai | !firestarter | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:57 |
| stemcel | Hey all, there's supposedly a fix released for grep: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/15051 | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 15051 in pcre3 "grep -P is not supported" [Medium,Fix released] | 23:57 |
| stemcel | Would someone be kind enough to help me apply it? | 23:57 |
| tritium | IndyGunFreak: true, but even twinview is deprecated in favor of xrandr | 23:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | tritium: hmm, twinview works fine for me. | 23:58 |
| xomp | hi guys, I no longer have the little minimize, maximize or close thingies in my browser or any applications I open up, http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshothn3.png | 23:58 |
| traci | ScheissDrogel Sorry family is visiting atm and cousin was trying to help despite not knowing computers so I had to explain things to him | 23:58 |
| tritium | IndyGunFreak: yes, it works. | 23:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | xomp: try disabling desktop effects, see if they come back. | 23:58 |
| maxflax | windows list - how do I change the size of it.... text no readable too small tabs.. | 23:59 |
| traci | ScheissDrogel: Also it showed up in Bios, I'm wondering the HDD has no jumper pins which makes it master, but it needs to have one in it to be master with slave present | 23:59 |
