| Rummandinho | :) | 00:00 |
| DrVali | steven_, do ls --help | 00:00 |
| perillux | Rummandinho: because I get HORRIBLE quality with the defaults. | 00:00 |
| DrVali | read the commands, and see if you can get ls to give you the output you want. | 00:00 |
| Rummandinho | Audacity is a good alternative but it really messes up if you have the W32.pate.b virus. | 00:00 |
| mn | What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? | 00:00 |
| DrVali | when you do, just repeat the command with the "> /home...." part and you'll have your answer. | 00:00 |

| Jordan_U | mysterycool: gnome-main-menu ? | 00:02 |
| perillux | Rummandinho: that helps a little ya. But I remember recording in windows movie maker at 44100 Hz and it sounded great. Now it doesn't sound even half that good at 48000 Hz with audacity. | 00:02 |

| Kidfork | mrNotYou: The resolution options are 640X480 (which is set at) and 320X240 (which makes it even bigger | 00:18 |
| usser | mykhi, libGL is part of your video driver | 00:18 |

| gaintsura | favro: does that include running command's (the .bash_profile) | 00:18 |

| IndyGunFreak | gaintsura: other than, use a hardware firewall, disable ESSID, put a good password on your wireless network and change the default ESSID... no. | 00:26 |
| gaintsura | =( | 00:26 |
| mrNotYou | !wireless | ASrock | 00:26 |

| gaintsura | need IPtables/security related stuff | 00:26 |

| mrNotYou | ASrock: I am not sure if that might help but give it a try. Wireless has alway been a bug in Linux. | 00:26 |
| mykhi | usser, yes i got ati drivers from sid | 00:27 |
| usser | mykhi, what is sid? | 00:27 |
| mykhi | unstable | 00:27 |
| ASrock | ya but what i dont get is that one of my wireless adapters is connected via ethernet port | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | mykhi: You can't use packages from Debian in Ubuntu | 00:27 |
| ASrock | ...just like i wired connection so i wouldnt think that the adapter would have anything to do with it | 00:27 |
| usser | mykhi, are u running debian? | 00:28 |
| mykhi | well im actualy using debian >> | 00:28 |
| mrNotYou | ASrock: Again, it is wireless connected so there could still be a bug. | 00:28 |
| mrNotYou | Is there a way to send messages to another computer connected to the same network? | 00:28 |

| mykhi | Jordan_U, no i dont, it connects me to here automaticly | 00:28 |
| usser | mykhi, i dont know what the package called in debian the point is u have to reinstall fglrx | 00:29 |
| mrNotYou | !talkd | 00:29 |

| KiDFlaSh | kenn you use it? | 00:29 |

| KiDFlaSh | can* | 00:29 |
| byte- | i'm a bit confused on the init script situation for 8.04 | 00:29 |
| mykhi | usser, so if i used fglrx-kernel-src ill just recompile them again | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | mykhi: Really, xchat in debian connects you here, that's odd. Anyway you can go to the debian channel by typing "/join #debian" | 00:30 |
| byte- | is upstart used by default, or is it sysv still? | 00:30 |
| KiDFlaSh | why you try to denie it? | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | byte-: upstart | 00:30 |
| byte- | because i don't have an inittab, but i also don't have upstart installed | 00:30 |
| byte- | which is confusing the hell out of me | 00:30 |
| byte- | i don't have any of the upstart binaries, and i don't have any of the configuration files | 00:30 |

| mikejet | sotec_prod: Kopte is not supported in this version. Try nvidia. | 01:50 |

| dr_willis | Jordan_U, yea. i was thinking that also.. I cant think of any setting that disables shift. unless its a capslock issue... | 01:50 |

| zammyking111 | so its related ;) | 01:52 |

| dr_willis | zammyking111, you most likely need to install the nvidia-glx-new package, like i stated earlier. | 01:53 |
| zammyking111 | ok how would i do that? | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | zammyking111, the package manager tool.. or use the exact command i gave earlier. | 01:53 |
| jrib | kern: do you really care to learn how to mount it manually or you just want it to work? | 01:53 |
| zammyking111 | what command? | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | zammyking111, No.. You would read the !nvidia bot link/url and read a little bit. its very likely that 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new' will install the drivers.. but You should read and double check for your SPECIFIC video card. | 01:53 |
| mikejet | driver questions are the epitome of the bizzare. zammyking111 is being naive. to the extreme. | 01:53 |
| kern | jrib i would like it to auto mount everytime i startup... but yeah it wont mount at all right now | 01:53 |

| zammyking111 | nope i got the latest drives and its not working | 01:56 |
| zammyking111 | i did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 01:56 |
| zammyking111 | and denied | 01:56 |
| jrib | zammyking111: please stop pressing enter. one thought = one enter | 01:56 |
| agento | jrib, a kernel that i compiled long time ago... but i uninstall it and im not using it... | 01:56 |
| zammyking111 | ok | 01:56 |
| zammyking111 | I did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and it didnt work, or do i need to restart my computer for it to update? | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | zammyking111, that !nvidia url/guide i gave earlier - would of told you - to reboot. | 01:57 |
| Salooooomy | ok that is BIZZZARE!!!!!! how come shift works in a VT and not when using any of three programs that open shells? | 01:57 |
| zammyking111 | ok | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | zammyking111: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 01:57 |
| smm289 | u usually have to at least log-out, log-in after a major package install dont ya | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, im guessing some term setting. but i cant imagine what one. | 01:57 |
| jrib | agento: hrmm. I don't know how it figures out what it needs to generate | 01:58 |
| Salooooomy | is it in bashrc? I recently modified it to set compix as my defauly WM | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, Hmmm... IT could be compiz grabbing the key.. Debugging #1 = disable compiz and see if it stillhappens | 01:58 |
| Salooooomy | I also used the --replace so that it would boot faster and avoid loading another WM | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, why did you mess with .bashrc to set compiz? :) I never had to do that befor | 01:59 |
| jdolan__ | hi, anyone have any tips for getting the soundcard to work for multiple apps at the same time with Hardy? this used to work just fine in Gutsy. | 01:59 |
| Salooooomy | trying to kill compiz... | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | I just use that fusion-icon tool myself. | 01:59 |
| Salooooomy | i cant ps -A or | to find compiz's process and kill it (doh!) | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, kwin --replace | 02:00 |
| jrib | agento: it's a bash script if you want to read it... | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | Salooooomy: Just metacity --replace | 02:00 |
| yao_ziyuan | what are commercial-quality linux games? games like Age of Empires... | 02:00 |
| Salooooomy | dr_willis: kwin -- replace worked | 02:00 |
| jdolan__ | yao_ziyuan, most of id Software's titles run fine on Linux. | 02:00 |
| yao_ziyuan | and i personally very much like MechCommander 2 | 02:00 |
| Salooooomy | so im guessing compiz is grabbing shift when in a shell | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | yao_ziyuan, idsofware has their doom/quake games ported over. and a few other comercial companies. | 02:00 |
| yao_ziyuan | jdolan__: via wine? | 02:00 |
| d4t4min3r | can someone give me the links to the new beta tests | 02:00 |
| jdolan__ | yao_ziyuan, so that's the Quake series and all of it's derivatives.. | 02:00 |
| agento | jrib, the problem is that dpkg want to do something in other kernel thats not even installed... | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, thats my guess also. | 02:00 |
| jdolan__ | yao_ziyuan, no natively. | 02:01 |
| jdolan__ | there are linux binaries you can download, and then you just copy in the game data from the Windows installation media. | 02:01 |
| d4t4min3r | anyone know the link on ubuntu where you can download the new beta test versions | 02:01 |
| jdolan__ | yao_ziyuan, i'm also the maintainer of a Free game based on Quake, http://quake2world.net | 02:01 |
| jrib | agento: are you sure it's not an issue with update-initramfs? what's in your /boot now? | 02:01 |
| Salooooomy | dr_willis: much thanks. can you suggest a way to load compiz at the start which avoids having to load another wm? | 02:01 |
| Flannel | d4t4min3r: #ubuntu+1, and its not beta, its alpha. | 02:01 |
| yao_ziyuan | jdolan__: i can't play first person shooter games | 02:02 |
| jdolan__ | there are other kinds? oO | 02:02 |
| jdolan__ | ;) | 02:02 |
| yao_ziyuan | jdolan__: i feel dazzled and fainted when playing fast moving 3d scenarios | 02:02 |
| jdolan__ | doh! i've never had that problem at all, but i know plenty of people do. | 02:02 |
| agento | jrib, ok how do i update initramfs? | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | yao_ziyuan: Not sure I'd call it commercial quality, but xmoto is addictive ( 2D motocross game ) | 02:03 |
| smm289 | is there away to assume root permissions, sudo command but while in a gui file manager, like Nautalis. A right click Sudo or something | 02:03 |
| zammyking111 | I got an error and it said it cuoldnt find out my graphic card | 02:03 |
| yao_ziyuan | lemme see | 02:04 |
| Flannel | smm289: Install nautilus-gksu | 02:04 |
| jrib | agento: 'man initramfs' I'm not that familiar with it. I do see a -u and -d that looks interesting | 02:04 |
| dislo | hey guys how do i set the noexec grub flag to happen everytime the os starts | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, i dont use compiz. so No. :) | 02:05 |
| smm289 | perfect, ty | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | Salooooomy, personally i thought if you did compiz --replace it set the kwin variable so it did NOT load kwin, then compiz.. but i dont pay much attention to it. | 02:05 |

| dr_willis | mpoz2, you did update the repo listing? 'sudo apt-get update' ? | 02:10 |
| Flannel | Pie-rate: You can only upgrade one release at a time (except when dealing with LTS), so gutsy, then hardy. | 02:11 |

| ethana2 | the OmniVision OV2640 in my new Ubuntu Dell is supposed to support a 2MP resolution at 15 FPS | 02:47 |

| spiritssight | puff: it says that it does not support scanning | 02:51 |
| ethana2 | Red-Sox: being intel, shouldn't be any software problem | 02:51 |

| ackstorm | Red-Sox, no | 02:53 |
| coolpet | ethana2 the first problem is: its a workstation at my work. it is an ASUS barebone Pundit p1-ph1 series computer | 02:53 |

I would try using System76 driver but last time I tried it wouldn't let me use it and the mirrors for it are down anyway... any ideas? | 02:54 |
| Flannel | Red-Sox: and you don't have compiz enabled by default? that's odd. You have xserver-xorg-video-intel installd, correct? | 02:54 |
| Flannel | ackstorm: They do. | 02:54 |
| Red-Sox | Flannel: Well I haven't installed that, so no unless that was installed with the OS. | 02:55 |
| Flannel | Red-Sox: Beryl won't work better. Beryl is dead. compiz-fusion is the successor of both compiz and beryl. | 02:55 |
| ethana2 | yes | 02:55 |
| Flannel | Red-Sox: Double check that you have it, it should have been installed by default. | 02:55 |
| ackstorm | wow | 02:55 |
| spiritssight | puff: when I first setup the system it worked if remember right, then I pluged in the either cable and then I noticed yesterday it was not working | 02:55 |
| corunum | Can someone who can help me with my splash theme pm me? | 02:55 |
| coolpet | i see the config file, but it is near the same as 7.4 default, and the ati driver works fine in 7.4, but i didnt know its the same driver in 8.4 too? | 02:55 |

| phixxor | i don't know of any, pie-rate, but if you ask on the forum and give people the chance to answer maybe someone will know | 02:58 |
| ethana2 | why are you doing this on work machines? | 02:58 |
| puff | spiritssight: I had a similar issue in the past after an upgrade, and it went away after a reboot. | 02:58 |
| Red-Sox | Flannel: No other suggestions? | 02:58 |
| puff | spiritssight: Have you tried shutting down all the way and then restarting? | 02:58 |
| spiritssight | puff: how can I check to see if its enabled or disabled | 02:58 |
| Flannel | Red-Sox: Take a look at your xorg, it... should be rather devoid of content. Make sure you're not forcing it to use some other driver. Unfortunately, I'm not really an X person, but I'm sure someone can help you out. It really should work (of course, it should have worked out of the box too) | 02:59 |
| Red-Sox | Flannel: Okay, thanks. | 03:00 |
| cheeky | is it possible to install ubuntu with an external HDD?? coz my live cd doesnt work? | 03:00 |
| Flannel | cheeky: Try the alternate CD instead | 03:00 |

| cheeky | alternate cd the text based one? | 03:00 |
| Flannel | cheeky: yes. | 03:00 |

| cheeky | and it works fine on my m8s laptop! | 03:01 |
| Flannel | cheeky: It asks the exact same questions. If it gives you errors while booting, verify the MD5 of the iso you downloaded, and then make sure you burn at the slowest speed you can. | 03:01 |
| Flannel | cheeky: Verify the CD's integrity from the boot menu (penultimate option I believe) | 03:01 |

I then just extracted the iso to the usb stick and tried installing from there and it asked me to connect to the... | 03:09 |
| nkei0 | ...internet during install and i can't | 03:09 |

| nkei0 | I've googled around and found the program unetbootin, but i'm wondering if i'll still need to connect to the internet during install. | 03:10 |
| D1sa5t3r | nkei0, replace the .dll | 03:10 |
| nkei0 | I've tried, it doesn't work. | 03:11 |
| icedwater | nkei0, so you can't boot Windows? | 03:11 |

| TaoTeShaun | I was wondering if anyone knows of ways to speed up the internet. i have a dual boot and guessing that something is not working correctly since i get 4-4.5 mbps in windows but only about 120kbps in ubuntu. also, when pinging yahoo.com XP takes about 80ms where Ubuntu is taking 500-1600ms. I am using the B43Legacy driver for my wifi | 03:19 |

| N0_Named_Guy | icedwater: maybe it's some argument that is not passed to the kernel in boot time | 03:19 |
| D1sa5t3r | but u can't shutdown with cd in? | 03:19 |
| spiritssight | how do you know which DD-Wrt to use on a WRT54GS v3 | 03:20 |
| N0_Named_Guy | icedwater: i can't tell the names right now... but I thing it has something to deal with the framebuffer thing... | 03:20 |
| nkei0 | I can shut down with the cd in | 03:20 |
| N0_Named_Guy | icedwater: I think you must the framebuffer resolution :S | 03:20 |
| D1sa5t3r | and start? | 03:21 |
| corunum | Need help getting my boot screen back, I messed it up while trying to install a new splash theme. | 03:21 |
| N0_Named_Guy | icedwater: u must change, I mean | 03:21 |
| TaoTeShaun | lol, my last speed test came to 85kbps down and 636 up | 03:21 |
| icedwater | N0_Named_Guy, my monitor supports 1024x768, but it tries two higher resolutions first | 03:21 |
| D1sa5t3r | so u can boot with linux disc | 03:21 |
| TaoTeShaun | driver problem i'm guessing | 03:21 |
| Till10185 | got a problem with pidgin every time i try to enter a room it boots me off completely from pidgin and it just started recently | 03:21 |
| nkei0 | not to the linux disc no | 03:22 |
| N0_Named_Guy | icedwater: in the grub's menu.lst pass to the kernel the arguments to put the framebuffer at the desired resolution | 03:22 |
| N0_Named_Guy | icedwater: that commands in particular I don't know by memory | 03:22 |
| ice_cream | i recently found out i have issues with the latest firefox3 package and youtube..it all seems to work ok, but cpu temp shoots up like 20 degrees celsius o.O | 03:22 |

| D1sa5t3r | Till10185, take the pidgin and burn it | 03:25 |
| Till10185 | its not the computer its lan connection or router you are using | 03:25 |
| D1sa5t3r | it sucks | 03:25 |
| kindofabuzz | corunum, you trying to set framebuffer? | 03:25 |
| N0_Named_Guy | corunum and icedwater: I think there is a kernel option so you can pass a resolution to the framebuffer | 03:25 |
| Till10185 | mine i can use up to 6 or 7 blocks away | 03:25 |
| N0_Named_Guy | corum and icedwater: I did something like that in a machine running Puppy Linux | 03:26 |

| broken1 | Taterade: my system was unstable with .21, so I thought it was the nvidia driver at frist, I uninstalled the nvidia drivers, and rolled back the kernel, and lost sound and wifi. NO wifi firmware will load, no matter the card. These wifi firmwares are in the kernel blobs. My system worked out of the box. | 03:55 |
| bobertdos | Theeb: You could probably still try Pulse for playback though. | 03:56 |
| Rakeer | Any idea why my uptime would say there are 2 users? | 03:56 |
| Rakeer | or is that counting root plus acct? | 03:56 |
| perillux | when using audacity and recording at 96000Hz every once in a while the sound skips when I play it back. It sounds great and then it suddenly jumps forward about half a second like there's a hole in the recording. Also, this isn't random, it happens regularly about every 30 seconds. | 03:56 |
| Theeb | does work for mic :\ | 03:56 |
| Gnea | Rakeer: that depends what the output of the w command is | 03:56 |
| Theeb | it does but makes annoying noise when i talk | 03:57 |
| broken1 | Taterade: I can boot into desktop, but no sound or wifi, it seems my onboard LAN port is even borked. Serems like all things related to my Nvidia chipset is broekn | 03:57 |
| perillux | also, it's not a problem with playback. It actually gets recorded like that for some reason | 03:57 |
| Taterade | @broken goto System-Prefrences-Sound and check to see if changing those options will fix the sound. | 03:57 |
| MellowYellow | heh lots of output had to pipe to file | 03:57 |
| MellowYellow | Gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/44424/ | 03:57 |
| broken1 | Taterade: it won't because the system no longer recognizes that I even HAVE a sound "card" | 03:57 |
| Theeb | because i have trouble with amarok + vbox sound | 03:58 |
| Theeb | i have to close one of them | 03:58 |
| Taterade | @broken broken sound card? | 03:58 |
| broken1 | its not a sound card | 03:58 |
| broken1 | itsd all onboard stuff that works with the livecd | 03:58 |
| mordof | keppi: i didn't set up the crontab.. it was done by something else that i must've installed. | 03:59 |

| Taterade | Its still a sound card. | 03:59 |
| MellowYellow | broken1, we get it, everything is broken. Now what on earth did you do to break it all? | 03:59 |
| Rakeer | Not sure what that means exactly... | 03:59 |
| broken1 | but for some reason, a change of the kernel has busted the system | 03:59 |

| Salooooomy | Gnea: compiz does not come up in the prefferences menu. Maybe i missed something during the install? in order to run it i have to execute compiz from within my shell. adding it to .bashrc was my way of having it persistent. adding the --replace was only used to keep from having another WM load up and consume resources. | 04:26 |
| bfig | Gnea: the documentation is online and to be honest i really don't know where to look... i've tried finding any reference to 'debugger output' or 'compile failed' but failed miserably | 04:26 |
| Gnea | Salooooomy: it's not going to say 'compiz' there. you will get 3 options. try disabling it altogether (so there's no desktop effects at all) and then restart the system, then try to turn them on again from the Visual Effects panel | 04:27 |
| Gnea | bfig: what command are you using, exactly? | 04:27 |

| Gumby | Hi all, I am running ubuntu hardy and I keep getting this message wheneve I install or uninstall a package "scrollkeeper-update: error while loading shared libraries: libscrollkeeper.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I've removed and reinstalled scrollkeeper as well as libscrollkeeper0 but the messages wont stop. Anyone have any ideas? | 04:40 |
| bfig | Gnea: default terminal size... i had problems last time i had a bigger window and compiled, when it came back the whole thing went psycho | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | Nubbie: Does your xorg.conf state to use "intel" ? | 04:40 |
| bobertdos | speener: *phew* You know, they really need to stop moving things around on us like that! | 04:40 |
| Ketrel | Gnea: what do you mean? | 04:40 |
| Gnea | bfig: try this on for size: exit fp-ide, stretch the terminal window vertically so that it's around 80x50 or taller, then run fp-ide | 04:41 |
| speener | bobertdos: i know, every time a new version of anything comes out and nothing is the same... | 04:41 |
| Nubbie | Jordan_U: i have an extremely minimal xorg.conf file. | 04:41 |
| Ketrel | I mean I know I can just make a script to restore to default and execute it when needed. | 04:41 |
| Gnea | Ketrel: you could just record the original mac to a text file and recall it later | 04:41 |
| Jordan_U | Nubbie: Does it have a "Device" section ? | 04:42 |
| Nubbie | Jordan_U: it just says "configured <blank>" in the identifier sections | 04:42 |
| Ketrel | Gnea: yes, but suppose I forgot it, is it actually stored somewhere on the device (where it can't be changed) which I locate it at? | 04:42 |
| Nubbie | Jordan_U: yes sir it does, and i have specified the "Driver "intel" | 04:42 |
| bfig | Gnea: internal error and must exit :p | 04:42 |
| Jordan_U | Nubbie: And it's still not using that driver? | 04:42 |

| danbhfive | psilo-: plug it in, and try to use it to connect to the internet, use commands like iwconfig, and see if it shows up | 05:15 |
| mindrape | lowlux - the "linux" way which I think you mean is the "open source" way doesn't necessarily mean you give your code away for free... | 05:15 |

| psilo- | danbhfive: it doesn't show up under iwconfig either | 05:16 |

| tj83 | `Matir, mine runnin at 41C which is high from the hitachi data sheet.. but it runs fine | 05:23 |
| mindrape | I guess he could remove his parents from the sudoers file... | 05:23 |
| keppi | well, I guess that's true | 05:23 |
| danbhfive | keppi: that just links it to the first user. any livecd can side step that | 05:23 |
| Garibaldi | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44441/ | 05:23 |
| `Matir | tj83, ahh... I may need to cool mine down... got one up to 44 | 05:24 |
| mindrape | I'd say the easiest is to get an external drive. 2nd best would be to create a 2nd partition and dont automount it and encrypt it. 3rd would be to chmod and chown it and preceed it with a . | 05:24 |
| keppi | trying to hide porn is prolly a bad idea anyways. The numbers won't add up and parents will wonder where all the missing space is? | 05:24 |
| mindrape | $HOME/.hidden_pr0n | 05:25 |
| tj83 | `Matir, search for the data sheet on your model.. but i have seen mine as high as 48C but it keeps going. | 05:25 |
| Garibaldi | Flannel: anything look wrong? | 05:26 |
| `Matir | tj83, k, thx | 05:26 |

| danbhfive | hitman1985: ls? | 05:26 |
| danbhfive | hitman1985: or tar | 05:26 |
| Flannel | Garibaldi: if it continues to give us *that* errr ("but it is not going to be instaled" we go one layer deeper, eventually we'll get an actual error. Not a "something is wrong!" but an actual description of whats happening. | 05:26 |
| hitman1985 | danbhfive, a folder , not an archive | 05:27 |
| smm289 | nope its playing but it sounds like my computer is possesed and there is no video | 05:27 |

| Flannel | Garibaldi: perfect | 05:27 |
| Flannel | Garibaldi: and, what does `apt-cache policy kdelibs4c2a` give? | 05:28 |
| hitman1985 | danbhfive, i got a folder full of files like rar files, and some avi files and mp3 as well, but i dont want to type all of it one by one, so i thought there was a little application / script what just puts that info in a txt file or close to txt | 05:28 |
| danbhfive | hitman1985: im not sure what you are trying to do, but ls and tar both work on folders. ls will list the filenames of the folder contents, and tar has the ability to turn them into a single file | 05:28 |

| hitman1985 | danbhfive, not to advanced with ubuntu yet, so i run regular gnome or gui i guess thats what you call that ? | 05:30 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xine-ui | 05:33 |
| shey | !xine | 05:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xine | 05:33 |
| tj83 | hitman1985, i dont think so | 05:33 |
| shey | hrmm | 05:33 |

| shey | smm289: make sure you have all the codecs installed. | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xine | 05:34 |
| smm289 | can i get the codecs i need from synaptic | 05:34 |
| smm289 | package manager | 05:34 |

| arnell | Trying to boot from kernel 2.6.24-19 and hangs at BusyBox | 05:36 |
| arnell | What's happening here? | 05:36 |
| nathanielneall | i have an urgent issue | 05:37 |

| nathanielneall | i get an error while priniting from open office or gedit | 05:37 |
| shey | smm289: check for libdvd* and libcss | 05:37 |
| smm289 | What I found: | 05:38 |
| smm289 | Most DVDs on the market today are play-protected by the Content Scrambling | 05:38 |
| smm289 | System (CSS). libxine does not provide any code to descramble those DVDs, | 05:38 |
| smm289 | because of legal uncertainties. If you still want to play those DVDs, you'll | 05:38 |
| smm289 | need a CSS decryption library like libdvdcss that is supported by libxine. | 05:38 |
| FloodBot2 | smm289: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:38 |

| shey | nathanielneall: telepathy tells me... nothing... what is the error? | 05:40 |
| danbhfive | arnell: also, if the earlier kernel works for you, I don't think there is much issue with just using that | 05:41 |
| nathanielneall | it just wont print any documents at all | 05:41 |
| arnell | no tried all the F-keys and still the same result... hanging at BusyBox. But booting 2.6.22-15 seems to boot okay. | 05:41 |
| hitman1985 | tj83, i ll just ls every folder then put it in one :) thanks, i ll take the time to do it, at least not to much typing that way | 05:41 |

| ykphuah | Dabbu: you can get wvdialconf to write to another config file and copy it over to /etc | 05:43 |
| Ketrel | pocco it's not supported on their network | 05:43 |
| shey | nathanielneall: system > adminstration > printing | 05:43 |
| Ketrel | hubs and switches yes, but not routers | 05:43 |
| Ketrel | the double natting doesn't work well with them | 05:44 |
| tj83 | hitman1985... i dunno what its doing but its looking awfully hard for something lol hdd going crazy! | 05:44 |
| Dfcnvt | Is your printer is connected as usb/parallel-port/ethernet(rj-45) | 05:44 |
| nathanielneall | usb | 05:44 |
| Ketrel | (I actually have a router, but I have to use it as a hub) | 05:44 |

I'm not judging the quality of the cipher one could use, but the "password". example: i boot my PC, it asks me about the luks passphrase, which is 20 letters long and made out of any possible character my keyboard can do... This seems fairly weak. I mean a bruteforce attack could find my passphrase rather fast, dont you think ? Thus making any super high grade encryption | 05:53 |
| Theeb | shey unless you upgraded, because i had some trouble activating it. | 05:53 |
| Dfcnvt | I think you can apply the same to your linux box. | 05:54 |

| christoz | tj83, i have no idea what to do | 06:07 |
| christoz | :( | 06:07 |
| Dfcnvt | christoz, I'm not sure it might be grub's fault with the case you're describing.. here's this site if it is the problem you have. http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=224351 | 06:08 |
| tj83 | christoz, not sure about your error.. but,, preforming those actions will NOT HURT the system. try it | 06:08 |
| christoz | ok, i;ll try thanks | 06:08 |
| floam | I've got an amd64 install of 8.04, and I'd like to try to change over to x86 without doing a real reinstall. | 06:09 |
| floam | is it possible just to tweak some string somewhere and do like a dist-ugprade or something? | 06:10 |
| axeus | Wouldn't that require a different kernel? | 06:10 |
| floam | no. | 06:10 |
| floam | amd64 kernel can run 32bit x86 binaries. | 06:10 |
| axeus | *shuts up then* :) | 06:10 |
| vnix | "sudo apt-get install auto-apt | 06:11 |
| vnix | " what this use for thanks. | 06:11 |
| Dfcnvt | floam, all I can do is give you this reference to see if there's a points to your answer... http://www.unix.com/answers-frequently-asked-questions/15284-32-64-bit-filesystems-files-oss-cpus.html | 06:13 |
| floam | Dfcnvt: this doesn't look particularly useful, I'm well aware of the architectual differences between x86-64 and x86 | 06:14 |
| owen1 | what is a .package extention? | 06:14 |
| floam | what I'm more interested in is where in debian/ubuntu the architecture is defined | 06:14 |
| Dfcnvt | I'm not sure which kernel will handle for both. | 06:15 |
| Flannel | floam: We'd be happy to discuss it with you in #ubuntu-offtopic, we like to keep this channel limited to support only. | 06:15 |
| owen1 | what is autopackage and how do i open a .package file? | 06:15 |
| tj83 | floam, if what your asking to how to tell what version your system is running.... uname -a? | 06:15 |
| nwm | I had to restore my boot.ini file, but I have lost wubi as a result, what do I need to add to get my Ubuntu install back? | 06:16 |

| tj83 | floam, k sory | 06:16 |
| * tj83 sorry* | 06:16 | |
| Flannel | nwm: You should be able to edit it and make it work (but I don't know what to add) | 06:16 |

| donny | greetings all. i have some questions about 802.11 device support. i've got a Linksys WUSB54G here, and I've built and installed the rt2500 module using module-assistant. i also have wireless-tools installed (apparently; the iwconfig command is available) but when i plug in my WUSB54G, although its lights turn on and dmesg shows some infos about a USB device, i have no new networking interfaces named /dev/ethN. can anyone help? | 06:18 |
| therockst4r | /msg ubottu etiquette | 06:19 |
| Dfcnvt | donny, perhap you're looking at the wrong interface.. maybe it's ath0 interface? | 06:20 |
| tj83 | donny, what reason do you have to believe that the interface is "ethN" ? that is not typical.. more like "wlan0" or similar, but i dont know about your adapter | 06:21 |
| hml | whta's a good tool for keeping all your emails local / writing them locally, and having them be automatically sent whenever you connect to a network | 06:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Don_Miguel: or ra0, i've seen that common among ralink chipsets | 06:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | donny even | 06:21 |
| amt2 | hi, my ethernet connection is not working; the little lights in the port don't blink so i think it's not even being recognized. I'm in a Toshiba P305-S8842. Any help would be appreciated. | 06:21 |
| donny | Dfcnvt, i will check for "/dev/ath*" tj83: in my past experience, it was eth1 after my wired nic eth0 (it was wlan0 on mac os x 10.3 though) | 06:22 |
| donny | Daisuke_Ido, i'll check all of those. still i assumed the iwconfig command would know which devices to examine | 06:22 |
| Dfcnvt | donny, it's not on /dev directory.. only iwconfig or ifconfig would show the interface for that.. | 06:23 |
| tj83 | amt2 if you dont get a link light.. its likely a bad cable or a crossover cable type | 06:23 |
| donny | oh right, they don't have fs nodes in /dev anymore | 06:23 |
| vnix | checking for mysql include path... configure: error: not found, please install the MySQL headers.. I have MySQL 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 installed | 06:23 |
| vnix | someone can tell me what error is that thank you | 06:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vnix: where did you install it from? | 06:23 |
| Dfcnvt | just type iwconfig and find which one is used. | 06:23 |
| Orchid` | Hi! i am looking for a way to find out if i can run Spore on my UBuntu computer, will someone please help me figure this out, or point me to a directory assistance table? | 06:23 |
| amt2 | tj83, but evyerhting works when i'm on windows, and the lights do blink there.... i don't think it's the hardware... | 06:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Orchid`: write to the company and ask for a linux version | 06:24 |
| vnix | Daisuke_Ido: from src | 06:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Orchid`: if that fails, go to #winehq | 06:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vnix: why? | 06:24 |
| vnix | Daisuke_Ido: PVPGN | 06:24 |
| donny | vnix: you're configuring to build some application. it wants to include MySQL headers when compiling. it hasn't found them in the obvious locatinos. you can provide it on the command line. please see ./configure --help for more info | 06:24 |
| Dfcnvt | spore? | 06:24 |
| tj83 | amt2 i will try to help.. i only have a few moments /join #SeaPhor | 06:25 |
| Orchid` | Daisuke_Ido: i have WINE, however when i try to find otu if i can mount my cd-rw drive it says htere is no media in the drive, and thus cannot mount it. | 06:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vnix: probably mysql5-dev | 06:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but i won't swear to it | 06:25 |
| vnix | i am using ./configure --with-mysql -prefix=ASDASA | 06:25 |
| vnix | I try to access to my sql and it's fine.. I can create database and query ^^ | 06:25 |
| donny | vnix: IIRC, the --prefix= option has to do with installation directories (can anyone else confirm or reject this?) | 06:26 |
| danbhfive | Orchid`: Spore Creature Creator? | 06:26 |
| dumbdum | Hi, does anyone know of a sidebar app "ala" Windows Vista? Thanks | 06:26 |
| dataspy | how can I tell how big a directory is on the command line? | 06:26 |
| Orchid` | danbhfive: it jsut came out in my area last night. | 06:26 |
| danbhfive | Orchid`: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7588 | 06:27 |
| Dfcnvt | Orchid, you can make a images of it.... dd -if=/mnt/cdrom0 -of=/img/Spore.img | 06:27 |
| donny | vnix, connecting to your database server proves that your database server is running, and your command-line client works properly. if, however, you want to *compile* source code that incorporates mysql header files, you'll probably need to install mysql-server-whatever-devel package | 06:27 |
| Dfcnvt | for a mount.... | 06:27 |
| Flannel | nwm: C:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" | 06:27 |
| venger | dumbdum, you mean like widgets? there's a kubuntu kde4 remix CD that I know of | 06:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | danbhfive: probably SPORE. not the creature creator, since he asked about spore, not the creature creator, and again, winehq.org or #winehq | 06:27 |
| vnix | so donny what I should do now? change mysql? | 06:27 |
| dataspy | doobie doobie doo | 06:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vnix: no, install the dev packages like i told you. | 06:28 |
| vnix | erm.. can you please guide me thanks | 06:28 |

| dumbdum | Hi Venger, yes like little apps that run on a sidebar to do various tasks. Like widgets | 06:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vnix: try ./configure again | 06:32 |

| Daisuke_Ido | vnix: are you in the right directory? | 06:32 |
| vnix | erm hold on | 06:32 |
| donny | vnix: you could try the libmysqlclient15-dev package if your'e using mysql 1.5 | 06:32 |
| vnix | oh thanks if work | 06:33 |
| vnix | it work... | 06:33 |

| vnix | it's not error | 06:34 |
| Kurt | dataspy: in the parent directory...if you want to be more specific, you could do ls -lh | grep <name of directory> | 06:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | depending on the warning | 06:34 |
| vnix | WARNING: 'Makefile.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting | 06:34 |

| Kurt | vnix, add datarootdir = @datarootdir@ to the Makefile.in will probably fix that warning | 06:36 |
| vnix | okie i'll try | 06:37 |
| * Daisuke_Ido is trying to figure out why it needs to be built from source | 06:37 | |
| vnix | Kurt is okie to add it to the first line? | 06:37 |

| vnix | is okie... Maybe i try to update it and see how it goes | 06:40 |
| vnix | If there's any problem can I find you again? | 06:40 |
| Kurt | vnix, should be fine there. | 06:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | HeMan: ask in #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help | 06:41 |
| Kurt | vnix, there's usually a section in Makefile.in for system configuration settings which is where it would ideally go, but it shouldn't actually matter if you put it at the top | 06:42 |
| HeMan | Daisuke_Ido: ah! thanks | 06:42 |

| Kurt | vnix: congrats :) what's the package if I may ask? | 06:43 |
| dataspy | the problem: I'm locked out of my system because / is full, I've now booted into safe mode and was trying to move stuff to my home directory so that / has more space and I can boot back into my comp.

| Kurt | dataspy: things in /var can probably go as well, but I'd look at the subdirectories (common ones like /var/mail are important to many people even if not system important) | 06:46 |
| Kurt | vnix_, yes | 06:46 |
| vbhide | i simply can't figure out y my sd card is not working! | 06:46 |
| vnix_ | how I specify which directory I want the compile files go to? | 06:47 |

| === jacob_ is now known as Guest9637 | ||
| donny | vnix, i believe you're thinking of the --prefix= option of the configuration script. then use "make install" to install the software you've built. | 06:50 |

| Kurt | vnix, no, arguments to make are targets | 06:50 |

| Dfcnvt | good god, what the hell are you doing? don't delete your root! | 06:50 |
| vnix_ | okie | 06:50 |
| Kurt | vnix, usually you would do something like ./configure, make, make install | 06:50 |

| Kartagis | what repo do i get frostwire from? | 06:51 |

| thuto | AnAnt: [ 29.280589] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A | 07:16 |
| thuto | [ 29.282272] 00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A | 07:16 |
| agento | AnAnt, yeah but.... there are a lot of files... | 07:16 |
| AnAnt | agento: you want to give them all the same owner/group/permissions ? | 07:17 |
| AnAnt | agento: select all those files ( you know how to do this ?), then right click, select properties, go to permissions tab | 07:18 |
| agento | AnAnt, i want to be owned by root group root and that everyone can read files | 07:18 |
| Flannel | christoz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation firs tfour steps on the page | 07:18 |
| AnAnt | thuto: probably that's your sim card | 07:18 |
| dewman | pls suggest me a good traffic/data transfer monitor software for ubuntu | 07:18 |
| Ergo^ | hello | 07:18 |
| Ergo^ | im having big trouble installing python-dev in ubuntu 8.4 | 07:19 |
| clarence | Uh......Excuse me.... | 07:19 |
| AnAnt | agento: probably you need sudo to do this | 07:19 |
| Ergo^ | 'Depends: python2.5 (=2.5.2-2ubuntu4.1) but 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 is to be installed" , how can i fix that ? | 07:19 |
| agento | AnAnt, cant change owner if i select them all | 07:19 |
| AnAnt | thuto: you know how to use minicom ? | 07:19 |
| agento | AnAnt, i do gksudo nautilus /folder, then i select all files crtl A and try to do it but there are files and folders so i cant change owner | 07:20 |
| thuto | AnAnt: minicom? no but i dont mind reading up, how can it help | 07:20 |
| AnAnt | thuto: just to make sure that /dev/ttyS0 is your sim card reader | 07:20 |
| AnAnt | thuto: minicom or any other serial comm. program | 07:21 |
| spiritssight | Ok, I am having no luck having any wireless networks show up when I left click on the network icon on the taskbar | 07:21 |
| AnAnt | thuto: it's something like HyperTerminal in windows | 07:21 |
| spiritssight | please help | 07:21 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: do you have hardy-proposed enabled? or intrepid? | 07:21 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: i have hardy proposed | 07:21 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Turn it off | 07:21 |
| AnAnt | agento: dunno then | 07:22 |
| rsc_ | what's "hardy-proposed" for? | 07:22 |
| Flannel | rsc_: testing packages before they're stable enough to be put into -updates | 07:22 |
| Flannel | rsc_: Its not fit for the general public, lots of breakages with versioning and stuff. | 07:22 |
| rsc_ | okay | 07:22 |
| thuto | AnAnt: well the sim does work though, cos I tested it on my PC and Mac | 07:23 |
| thuto | AnAnt: I even turned off the pin | 07:23 |
| dub | howto empty trash | 07:23 |
| AnAnt | thuto: yes, but I want to make sure that /dev/ttyS0 is your sim | 07:23 |
| AnAnt | thuto: that's the point | 07:24 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: i did, reloaded packages in synaptic, but didnt have any success | 07:24 |
| spiritssight | Is there any one that knows about wireless here? I am not able to go on wireless with my system or see any wireless network in my area when I know there is some | 07:24 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Do you already have 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 installed? apt-cache policy python2.5 | 07:25 |
| thuto | AnAnt: oh okay, let me try this out, i will get back to you then, thanks.. | 07:25 |
| Ergo^ | Installed: 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 | 07:25 |
| dub | is it possible to manually empty the trash | 07:25 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: right, so we're going to have to force that to downgrade. | 07:25 |
| Flannel | !trash | dub | 07:25 |
| ubottu | dub: 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 | 07:25 |
| thuto | AnAnt: by the way can i still use the same commands like atdt and stuff | 07:26 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: something changed recently ( i installed python-dev) on another pc few days ago :D | 07:26 |
| tsolox | i tried to install virtualbox-puel in Ubuntu, but it is looking for libqt4-core..i could not find libqt4-core in synaptics...help | 07:26 |
| dub | Flannel, so you just delete from there? | 07:26 |
| Flannel | dub: yeah | 07:26 |
| AnAnt | thuto: yes, that's what I want to try: ati | 07:26 |
| dub | Flannel, thanks | 07:27 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Either that machine didn't have -proposed enabled, or the new version was added to proposed. Either is likely. | 07:27 |
| clarence | :'( | 07:27 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: so what do i do now ? | 07:27 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: We force it to downgrade. Go ahead and begin editing /etc/apt/preferences | 07:28 |
| skinnymg1 | hello people i was wondering if someone could help me find a app to stream my desktop with | 07:28 |
| clarence | me too! | 07:28 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: ok, i have pico ready | 07:28 |
| MzL | Did this server had a french channel please ? | 07:29 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: you mean nano, but sure. Add this to that file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44460/ | 07:29 |
| Flannel | !fr | MzL | 07:30 |
| ubottu | MzL: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 07:30 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: pico ;-) | 07:30 |
| MzL | thank u :) | 07:30 |
| Ergo^ | ah nano | 07:30 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Unless you compiled it yourself, you're using nano. | 07:30 |
| Dfcnvt | skinnymg1, you want to remote desktop? click on System/Preferences/Remote Desktop... | 07:30 |
| Ergo^ | heh.. right you are | 07:30 |
| Kartagis | how do i increase my swap partition's size? | 07:31 |
| skinnymg1 | no i want to stream my desktop to show what i am doing | 07:31 |
| Flannel | !swap | Kartagis | 07:31 |
| ubottu | Kartagis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 07:31 |
| Dfcnvt | Question, if you use swap on your system, would it work without a ram? I wouldn't think so.. | 07:31 |
| Flannel | Dfcnvt: no | 07:32 |
| Flannel | Dfcnvt: you can have a system without SWAP, you can't have a system without RAM | 07:32 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: ok i have that saved, what now ? | 07:32 |
| Dfcnvt | suppose you have 256 megabytes.. with a swap of 2 gigabytes.. would that help any? | 07:32 |
| Dfcnvt | 256 of ram..* | 07:32 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:33 |
| Flannel | Dfcnvt: That'd be a bit of overkill on swap space. You probably want about 512MB of swap. | 07:33 |
| trainer | . | 07:33 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: ok, its done | 07:34 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: now you should be able to install python-dev | 07:34 |
| Theeb | is it possible to see the log of the "recovery mode" because i saw a "[Fail]" and i couldnt read which package, screen was moving fast. i need to fix that package but i dont know what package is. | 07:34 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: also, delete the stuff we added to /etc/apt/preferences, we don't need/want that anymore, now that its done its job | 07:34 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: im not, is it possible polish servers are put of sync somehow ? | 07:34 |
| trainer | . | 07:35 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: You're not why? What error? | 07:35 |
| nucco | hi, does anybody know where my epiphany downloads disappear to? | 07:35 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: same error, but apt cache says that i have a "candidate" pinned, but installed is still newer wersion | 07:35 |
| clarence | Who can help me solve the problem？:-/ | 07:36 |
| clarence | Please.....! | 07:36 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: do you still have proposed enabled? Pstebin the output of apt-cache policy python2.5 | 07:37 |
| Kartagis | Flannel> in that FAQ, count is 512. if i make it 1024mb, will count be still 512? | 07:37 |
| Dfcnvt | Clarence, you hasn't stated what problem you're having | 07:37 |
| clarence | I was said! | 07:38 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: no, itd be 1024, that page explains it on the next line | 07:38 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: no i dont have proposed enabled.... | 07:38 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/71258 | 07:38 |
| Dfcnvt | well, refresh my mind | 07:39 |
| clarence | I said how Ubuntu 8.04 on the use of additional special effects？ | 07:39 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: huh. Ok, lets try this. open up your preferences again, change it from 4* to 4.1, and change the pin priority to 1002 | 07:39 |
| Flannel | clarence: What makes you think you're not already? | 07:40 |
| Kurt | clarence: go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, select visual effects tab, and choose extra | 07:40 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: the same result | 07:40 |

| lbs | hi,who knows ubuntu liveusb ? | 07:40 |
| Dfcnvt | oh... you mean compiz? | 07:40 |
| Archon | what is exit status 134? | 07:40 |
| Archon | with regards to apt-get | 07:40 |
| dhg_ | m | 07:41 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: pastebin sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-cache policy python2.5 | 07:41 |
| Kurt | clarence: if you want more customization, run a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:41 |
| Kurt | people can't dist-upgrade to intrepid currently, can they? | 07:41 |
| Kurt | I thought gcc was broken | 07:41 |
| AnAnt | Where do core dumps go ? | 07:42 |
| Flannel | Kurt: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks | 07:42 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/71259 | 07:42 |
| lbs | who knows ubuntu liveusb? | 07:42 |
| Kurt | Flannel: I'm not really asking a question, merely commenting on the dist-upgrade if it was to intrepid :) | 07:42 |
| Mercury- | hey | 07:43 |
| Flannel | Kurt: oh, dist-upgrade isn't used in normal operation to switch versions. | 07:43 |
| Mercury- | anyone got wireless working for ubuntu? | 07:43 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: yup | 07:43 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Hmm, and can you pastebin your preferences file? Maybe I did something wrong. | 07:43 |
| Mercury- | apparently ubuntu is unable to locate my wireless components | 07:43 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: try System->Administration->Hardware drivers | 07:44 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: what's your card type? | 07:44 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/71261 | 07:44 |

| NineTeen67Comet | Hello all. I've asked this in Vbox too, but that room is silent tonight. Where else can I look to get Shared Folders to work in VirtualBox (not OSE) with Guest Additions added (USB works already) .. I have added chmod 777 to the directories I would like th loan out, but still nothing .. | 07:45 |
| Mercury- | :) | 07:45 |
| Dfcnvt | Clarence, apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager --- I can't remember the last time that have the whole packages for it.. | 07:45 |
| Mercury- | "AnAnt, - no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 07:46 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: nevermind, you don't need it with your card | 07:46 |
| Dfcnvt | when you're done with it, check in System/Preferences/Advanced Desktop Effects.. for the special effect to play with... | 07:47 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: what does iwconfig give you ? please paste the output in private chat | 07:47 |
| MikeSeth | Mercury-: this card works for me with WPA2/PSK and wpa_supplicant | 07:47 |
| iamas | does anyone know how to get Japanese text working in Wine? I have the MS fonts installed but they don't work | 07:47 |
| Dfcnvt | iamas, didn't you apt-get the japaneses fonts? | 07:47 |
| iamas | I did | 07:48 |
| iamas | there were 2 that I couldn't get off the repositories | 07:48 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: aha, so your wifi card is recognized ! | 07:48 |
| iamas | but other than that I followed the instructions | 07:48 |
| Dfcnvt | so, did it show the japanese fonts on the window side? | 07:48 |
| Mercury- | vonderful! | 07:48 |
| iamas | I'm sorry what do you mean? | 07:48 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: what's your problem then ? | 07:48 |
| nirupama | from where does ubuntu take the translation work | 07:49 |
| Mercury- | i can't see my home wlan | 07:49 |
| xTheGoat121x | Evening all... I'm trying to get my USB headset to work... but getting issues | 07:49 |
| nirupama | I have some translated stuff | 07:49 |
| nirupama | for gnome | 07:49 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: that's wierd, are you sure that the rf switch is on ? | 07:49 |
| nirupama | where I can upload them for review | 07:49 |
| nirupama | and acceptance | 07:49 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: yes, it's off !!! | 07:49 |
| Mercury- | can't turn on wireless components physically :s | 07:50 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: eth1 radio off | 07:50 |
| Flannel | nirupama: Its done through Rosetta I believe. Try asking your LoCo team | 07:50 |
| nirupama | any body language team here | 07:50 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: ?! | 07:50 |
| nirupama | Flannel, any id or channel | 07:50 |
| Mercury- | anant - can't turn on wireless components physically :s | 07:50 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: why's that ? HP laptops have a switch | 07:50 |
| Flannel | nirupama: What language? | 07:50 |
| nirupama | through which io can communicater | 07:50 |
| Mercury- | yeah i know, it's just not responding | 07:50 |
| Flannel | nirupama: and/or country | 07:50 |
| Mercury- | ive got dualboot | 07:50 |
| Mercury- | works fine in winblowz so it is indeed still functional | 07:51 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: is everything set up right ? | 07:51 |
| nirupama | Flannel, 18 indian languages | 07:51 |
| Flannel | nirupama: Try #ubuntu-in | 07:51 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: well, it works fine with me, I got 2 HP lappies | 07:51 |
| iamas | I installed the MS fonts, rebuilt my cache, and changed the order as suggested | 07:51 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: how about looking at dmesg output when you press the switch ? | 07:52 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: As far as I can see... it's gotta be something wrong with the version match thing. Since it shouldn't be giving that priority to the other versions. | 07:52 |
| Mercury- | good idea | 07:52 |
| AnAnt | Mercury-: again paste the last few lines in private chat | 07:52 |
| iamas | I have very limited functionality in MS Word but system menus are still garbled | 07:52 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: so is there any path i can follow to fix tjhat ? i kinda need that package :] | 07:52 |
| AnAnt | Anyone knows where do core dumps go ? | 07:52 |
| xTheGoat121x | I keep getting a warning, whenever I try to test the device, about it not being available for use | 07:53 |

| chilli_ | when i got to play a video on firefox | 07:53 |
| chilli_ | it will play then pause every 2seconds even if the vid is loaded fully | 07:53 |
| Dfcnvt | iamas, if you're running Ubuntu, click on System -> Administration -> Languages Support | 07:53 |
| iamas | k | 07:54 |
| Dfcnvt | iamas, maybe that will help to install new fonts.. i dunno.. | 07:54 |
| hickop | hi, i cant empty my trash because of a folder, how can i fix this please ? | 07:54 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: I'm sure its fixable yeah, but I have no idea what the issue is. This *should* be working. Uh, while its not really on topic for that channel, you may have luck in #ubuntu-motu. Another thing you could try is setting the bigger version (-ubuntu5) to priority of -1, but with the way the matching has happend thus far (seems to ignore anything past the -? past the -ubuntu? I'm not sure) I'm wary of suggesting that. | 07:54 |
| iamas | I have Japanese support enabled | 07:54 |
| iamas | it works fine in Ubuntu | 07:55 |
| iamas | but Wine is still messed up | 07:55 |
| kindofabuzz | uggg anyone got a solution to ubuntu unability to cauto connect to wpa2 at startup? annoying! | 07:55 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| eric | oin #asterisk | 07:55 |
| === eric is now known as talntid | ||
| Flannel | Ergo^: the other solution is to wait until that package moves into -updates, which will happen at some point soon. But that's obviously not really a solution. | 07:55 |
| jareth_ | kindofabuzz: is wpa2 supported any way? In my experience I stick with wpa-psk. | 07:56 |
| susa24 | hello | 07:56 |
| susa24 | could someone please tell me how to save the alsa mixer sound settings so i dont have to keep putting them up every time i reboot? | 07:56 |
| kindofabuzz | jareth_, well it works, but i have to manually connect each time | 07:56 |
| satyn | hi, is there any email client similar to mail ? | 07:56 |
| kindofabuzz | and then it may take 3-4 tries | 07:57 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: if i commented out the preferences file and do apt-get upgrade will it return to previous state ? | 07:57 |
| jareth_ | kindofabuzz: ic, that's odd. no idea what could be the cause of that. | 07:57 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Uh, define previous state? | 07:57 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: before i got package pinned | 07:57 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: with the default package priorities? Yeah. | 07:57 |
| kindofabuzz | jareth_, is wpa-psk pretty secure? | 07:57 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: thanks for all the help | 07:58 |
| jareth_ | kindofabuzz: secure enough |MHO :) | 07:58 |
| Archon | has anyone here successfully installed java5, but had troubles installing java6 on ubuntu or some linux distro? | 07:58 |

| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 08:33 |
| jareth_ | shabda: what does -> help -> about say ? | 08:33 |
| Flannel | Dryanta: Yes, because right now you're still using the homedir, because you're logged in as you. | 08:33 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Eccentricity, BT3 has put it together and made a configured package know to work together with support ... Ubuntu or what doug said is true but you would have to re-invent and configure and research for ten years to get the same result as just loading the live DVD... sorry doug | 08:33 |
| jareth_ | shabda: after restarting ff | 08:34 |
| Flannel | shabda: Hmm, that... should work. You restarted firefox, right? | 08:34 |
| linuxhelp | anubus69 did you check lsmod for listed driver? | 08:34 |
| shabda | Flannel: http://dpaste.com/76577/, Yes :) | 08:34 |

| anubus69 | no I didn't let me check | 08:35 |
| Flannel | Brett: yes | 08:35 |
| eccentricity | I figured an exploitation based distro might have qualms with being open | 08:36 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: sure some things are pre-config'd, but there isnt anything you can do in BT that you cant do in *buntu, and you dont have to stray into slax. that was my point | 08:36 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Eccentricity, however, BT3 is a collection of what is out on the net all on one dvd... however, you have to google the net to use the tools on the dvd... | 08:36 |
| Brett | Would it also boot grub? As in see winxp or something too? | 08:36 |
| obsidieth | my keyboard layout is goin wack on every restart | 08:37 |

| Greyspacebt3 | doug Eccentricity.. yes,,, however, my way is quicker | 08:37 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lol | 08:37 |
| shabda | I think I had mucked around with path sometime, can that be a problem? Though "which firefox" gives me "/usr/bin/firefox" | 08:37 |
| carrera | Greetings! | 08:37 |
| Flannel | Brett: That'd depend on your menu.lst, it doesn't do autodetection at boot or anything. | 08:37 |

| Chunky_Ks | I just upgraded my ATI graphics card. I was using fglxrx just fine before. I took the old card out of the epci slot in this machine, and put the new one into the same slot | 08:38 |
| anubus69 | linuxhelp what should I be seeing in lsmod ? | 08:38 |
| eccentricity | nice to know its quicker, greyspace, but the truth is, I'm also interested in this stuff for building my own systems. | 08:38 |
| Chunky_Ks | and now ubuntu's hardware drivers thing doesn't offer me the ati drivers | 08:38 |
| Chunky_Ks | can anyone suggest how to fix this? | 08:39 |
| crdlb | Chunky_Ks: what model are you using now? | 08:39 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: do you have the restricted nvidia drivers installed? | 08:39 |
| carrera | is there problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash" keeps my aliases? | 08:39 |
| Brett | How hard would it be to make ubuntu look like Linux? | 08:39 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug brand new install | 08:39 |
| Brett | We like windows | 08:39 |
| Flannel | Brett: Ubuntu is Linux | 08:39 |
| Chunky_Ks | crdlb: 4850 | 08:39 |
| Brett | Er | 08:39 |
| linuxhelp | look for your ethernet chipset card listed like "nvidia ethernet XXX" or other name | 08:39 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug there is a list of restricted drivers which one | 08:39 |
| Chunky_Ks | was a 2400xt before | 08:39 |
| Brett | I meant windows, not Linux | 08:40 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug,,, I'll search and ask for conformation here brb | 08:40 |
| eccentricity | according to randall munroe, ubuntu is vista with some custom themes. | 08:40 |
| linuxhelp | anubus69 have a closer look at ubuntuusers.de / wiki | 08:40 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: either nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new. one of those should work for you | 08:41 |
| carrera | is there problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"? | 08:41 |
| shabda | No, that does not fix the problem. :( | 08:41 |
| Flannel | Brett: Ah, its sort of easy, depending on how much you want it to look like it. There are themes and stuff out there you can use. | 08:41 |
| Brett | Ubuntu could kick windows over Steve jobs house | 08:41 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: then in your xorg.conf, you need to set your device to use the driver, 'nvidia' | 08:41 |
| eccentricity | seriously guys, a command line utility to browse wireless networks, and connect to mine. Anyone know one? | 08:41 |
| anubus69 | Linux help: I don't see it? I have Intel 5100, but I'm also running Ubuntu in VMware along with fedora, and Fedora is working, but ubuntu isn't | 08:41 |
| linuxhelp | @ALL how likes Windows they should try ICEWM for replacement with XP Style | 08:41 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: you might also want to install, nvidia-settings, and use that to config your card once X is using the nvidia driver | 08:41 |
| Brett | Flannel I just need it to look convincing to a teacher walking by | 08:42 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug I have Nvidia-glx-new-envy installed | 08:42 |
| linuxhelp | at our school we have changed ALL PCs to Ubuntu | 08:42 |

| Greyspacebt3 | doug and nvidia-settings | 08:42 |
| Flannel | Brett: yeah, that should be easy. | 08:42 |
| dougsko | eccentricity: see also, kismet | 08:42 |
| crdlb | Chunky_Ks: I don't think ubuntu's fglrx is new enough | 08:42 |
| linuxhelp | Ubuntu is now a very good replacement for XP+Vista... i think.. | 08:43 |
| Brett | That's good, because I love ubuntu overall but I want to get away with it at schol | 08:43 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug then in your xorg.conf, you need to set your device to use the driver, 'nvidia',,, <<<< thats what is missing | 08:43 |

| Greyspacebt3 | Eccentricity, I have to say this about that: | 08:46 |
| Greyspacebt3 | The reason that I recommend BT3 is because there is not a Hard Drive Install therefore if you get caught doing something wrong you actually have no tracking or traces... or proof... | 08:46 |

| Greyspacebt3 | doug thanks I'll try to get the video card and sound card working on ubuntu | 08:55 |
| Kartagis | why does XMPP appear in pidgin even though I choose google talk? | 08:57 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: well ive gone through the crap of configuring X a million times so i can probly help with that | 08:57 |
| Drag0nLord | any hardware g33ks here? | 08:57 |
| netsurf3 | hmm two questions: 1) is there any way i can force a switch to a tty if xorg has crashed or is there some sysrq combination that can kill x? also is it possible to unlock my LVM encrypted root, home and swap with a usb key and fall back to password if unavailble | 08:57 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Thanks doug, I know you mean well | 08:57 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lol | 08:57 |
| === MikeSeth_ is now known as MikeSeth | ||
| dougsko | netsurf3: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X. ctrl-alt-F# will swith your tty | 08:57 |
| netsurf3 | dougsko, i am refering to a locked up xorg | 08:58 |
| linuxhelp | yes i read about usb-stick and unlock luks partition | 08:58 |
| Drag0nLord | which agp video card should i use, the 3dforce2mx-32 or the ati rage 128 32? | 08:58 |
| linuxhelp | i prefer NVIDIA cards at all PCs | 08:58 |
| netsurf3 | dougsko, it wount be killed if xorg is locked up and i could not switch to tty either | 08:58 |
| Drag0nLord | me too...but which would be faster/better on 8.04? | 08:58 |
| linuxhelp | i use a 8400GS with driver of nvidia | 08:59 |
| dougsko | netsurf3: if your keybaord is locked up, youll probly have to reboot | 08:59 |
| netsurf3 | linuxhelp, hmm any linkage for the source? problem is it does need to fall back to passphrase from console just incase ;) | 08:59 |
| WoofWoofWoof | linuxhelp: There is no /etc/initramfs-tools/resume | 08:59 |
| Drag0nLord | specifically, which would allow faster video playback on youtube, etc | 08:59 |
| Drag0nLord | my vid card is a 7300GS | 08:59 |
| WoofWoofWoof | There is a /etc/initramfs-tools/ but there's nothing called "resume" in there | 08:59 |
| netsurf3 | dougsko, it was perculier, mouse worked, nothing else and gkrellm output locked up aslo | 09:00 |
| netsurf3 | *also | 09:00 |
| linuxhelp | @ALL /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume | 09:00 |
| linuxhelp | SORRY | 09:00 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Ah, okay | 09:00 |
| Drag0nLord | my wife, who uses Ubuntu 8.04 as her only OS, needs to be able to view vids and such without the choppiness | 09:00 |
| WoofWoofWoof | RESUME=UUID=07a29f46-5813-4716-878b-3547954816e1 | 09:00 |
| WoofWoofWoof | And what should I compare that with? | 09:01 |
| eccentricity | netsurf3, if you can ssh into a machine with a locked up x from another machine you can use chvt... but in that case I guess you could just kill x the easy way | 09:01 |
| netsurf3 | eccentricity, hmm cant ssh into it currently | 09:01 |
| dougsko | netsurf3: yeah thats weird. you might want to check your X log to see if anything stands out | 09:01 |
| netsurf3 | shame :( | 09:01 |
| linuxhelp | my wife use a DELL Inspiron 531 with a changed NVIDIA 8400GS works perfect with 8.04 | 09:01 |
| netsurf3 | dougsko, probably some wine weirdness | 09:01 |
| dougsko | could be | 09:01 |
| Drag0nLord | i don't have the option of the 8400GS | 09:02 |
| Drag0nLord | hehe | 09:02 |
| netsurf3 | i was running half-life naturalselection | 09:02 |
| linuxhelp | i plugged in two HDDs with MDADM-RAID 1 and 2GB RAM | 09:02 |
| Drag0nLord | my wife is on a legacy pc, 800mhz p3 with 512 megs of pc-133 | 09:02 |
| linuxhelp | why socket? | 09:02 |
| A_I_ | hello | 09:02 |
| A_I_ | Is it possible to force a device name (sdc for my external USB HD) ? | 09:03 |
| linuxhelp | ok this i use at work, with Nvidia MX400 AGP 64MB-RAM | 09:03 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug I installed nvidia-glx?? and sudo gedit xorg.conf and pressed C+Alt+backspace and this message popped up | 09:03 |
| WoofWoofWoof | eccentricity, I can't spot any errors, but I'm very new to Linux: http://pastebin.com/m5c90155a | 09:03 |
| Drag0nLord | so the nvidia would be the better choice? | 09:03 |
| linuxhelp | then you must use NVIDIA DRIVER 96,XX of NVIDIA Sites | 09:03 |
| WoofWoofWoof | linuxhelp: What do I do with the resume ID? | 09:03 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug Configure low-graphics mode | 09:03 |
| linuxhelp | do remove restricted-modules for setup nvidia | 09:03 |
| dougsko | A_I_: no. the device name is based on the driver that runs the device | 09:04 |
| Drag0nLord | i am very familiar with the installation of nvidia drivers | 09:04 |
| nnull | anyone tell me how i get my onboot splash thing back? like when i used to boot while it was loading it would say welcome to blah and u could see the programs loading | 09:04 |
| A_I_ | but USB HD takes sdb when hotplugged | 09:04 |
| linuxhelp | write UUID on paper and look at /etc/fstab for same | 09:04 |
| A_I_ | but takes sda on reboot | 09:04 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: ok, pastebin your xorg.conf | 09:04 |
| linuxhelp | UUIDs | 09:04 |
| A_I_ | dougsko | 09:04 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Okay, linuxhelp | 09:04 |
| Drag0nLord | i have these two cards to work with, and i'm not sure which is better | 09:05 |
| eccentricity | WoofWoofWoof: unfortunately, looks good to me :-) | 09:05 |
| Drag0nLord | i can't find useful specs on either of them | 09:05 |
| dougsko | A_I_: dont quote me on this, but i think thats buggy behavior | 09:05 |
| eccentricity | LH is more likely to be able to help you | 09:05 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug,, we are close... as I have a list of Nvidia Drivers to choose from ... ummmmmmmmm hard to pick | 09:05 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: what do you mean? what are you looking at? | 09:05 |
| linuxhelp | @all i have to go for Questions look www.linuxonlinehelp.de THANKS | 09:05 |
| WoofWoofWoof | linuxhelp: UUID=07a29f46-5813-4716-878b-3547954816e1 none swap sw 0 0 | 09:05 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Okay, eccentricity. Thank you :) | 09:06 |
| A_I_ | but it is logical, on hotplug system takes the first available and on reboot system do it in the "right" order | 09:06 |
| Drag0nLord | usb shouldn't be the first to load either way | 09:07 |
| Drag0nLord | imo | 09:07 |
| dougsko | A_I_: yeah youre right, it is actually the "sd" driver | 09:07 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug After Crl+alt+backspace ,, it restarted and ubuntu had a configure Video Window popup... and now I am looking for the model that matches my GTX 260 card.. | 09:07 |
| linuxhelp | if your UUID is listed inside fstab it must run | 09:07 |
| nnull | anyone tell me how i enable the splash screen in hardy? | 09:07 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Okay, linuxhelp :( | 09:08 |
| nirc | can someone tell me the difference (if any) between openssh that's in ubuntu server and the openssh in esx? | 09:08 |
| adammw111 | Can someone help me fix my network card? It's a generic card and has worked previously, but i can't even ifup it. | 09:08 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Thanks :) | 09:08 |
| linuxhelp | nnull > see aptitude search usplash for installed | 09:08 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: ok, this may or may not work, but give it a try. just pick the most logical choices and let me know if something is ambiguous | 09:08 |
| nnull | usplash is for grub splash screen tho right? linuxhelp | 09:08 |
| linuxhelp | if not install it now and run #initramfs-update -u -k all | 09:08 |

| Greyspacebt3 | doug your right there isn't a geforce that I understand: my choices are: | 09:09 |
| Drag0nLord | why would you add a root user? | 09:09 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: this page might help too, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 09:10 |
| Flannel | mm2000: You mean add a user who can use sudo, yes? | 09:10 |
| mm2000 | yes | 09:10 |
| nirc | basically i'm having this problem where when I transfer files via sftp to openssh on esx, my file is corrupt (yet the correct size), where as my file transfered to ubuntu server are not corrupt | 09:10 |
| Flannel | mm2000: sudo adduser username then sudo adduser username admin | 09:10 |
| nirc | via ssh and sftp | 09:10 |
| A_I_ | is there a way to configure the sd driver to tell him which to take for sda and which for sdb (internal hd and USB hd for ex.) | 09:10 |
| A_I_ | ? | 09:10 |
| dougsko | mm2000: this page will show you how to work with your sudoers file, http://www.go2linux.org/sudoers-how-to | 09:11 |
| Vezir | how do i reset an sd socket | 09:11 |
| Vezir | like a /dev/sdd1 | 09:11 |
| Flannel | A_I_: that's determined by the BIOS and hardware. | 09:11 |
| Vezir | i got it to come iup with this, but when i reseated the cable, it didnt show up | 09:11 |
| rictic | Why might I be getting a shell labeled BusyBox (initramfs) when trying to boot from the ubuntu 8 install/live cd on a new computer? | 09:11 |
| D1sa5t3r | anyone have acer aspire one? | 09:11 |
| dougsko | rictic: busybox is a stripped down bash | 09:12 |

| D1sa5t3r | aah | 09:12 |
| vnix | Anyone know how to use SVN? | 09:12 |
| dougsko | rictic: you see it a lot in places where there isnt much memory for full-blown bash | 09:12 |
| D1sa5t3r | i need one user :D | 09:12 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Okay, D1sa5t3 :s | 09:13 |
| dougsko | vnix: yeah, whats the problem? | 09:13 |
| rictic | dougsko: Fair enough. I was expecting the GUI installer, which is what comes up when using this CD on other machines I think | 09:13 |
| vnix | in windows I use SVN tor. where I can right click and auto update but in Ubuntu how? thanks ^^ | 09:13 |
| dougsko | rictic: hmmm...dont know why thatd be | 09:14 |
| dougsko | vnix: cd to the top level of the svn project you checked out, and type, svn up | 09:14 |

| vnix | dougsko: svn command not found | 09:18 |
| livingdaylight | hola ubunteros | 09:18 |
| dougsko | vnix: you need to install subversion | 09:18 |
| livingdaylight | can someone tellwhether i need to install medibuntu to install ~Google Earth? | 09:19 |
| dougsko | livingdaylight: nope | 09:19 |
| vnix | dougsko can you give me the command? | 09:19 |
| Greyspacebt3 | doug.. ok | 09:19 |
| Ububegin | ~medibuntu | 09:19 |
| Ububegin | !medibuntu | 09:19 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:19 |
| livingdaylight | dougsko: what do i do with the Google Earth .bin file ? | 09:19 |
| Flannel | livingdaylight: You don't need to install the medibuntu repository to use packages from it. | 09:19 |
| webDEViL | vnix, apt-get install svn | 09:19 |
| Flannel | livingdaylight: don't use the bin, use the package from medibuntu | 09:20 |
| vnix | thank you | 09:20 |
| dougsko | livingdaylight: just run it | 09:20 |
| dougsko | vnix: that package name is actually, subversion, not svn | 09:20 |
| vnix | couldn't't find package | 09:20 |
| vnix | oh okie | 09:20 |
| Ububegin | I used the google earth bin, and my comp went WHITE Screen... | 09:20 |
| vnix | yeah it's running thanks | 09:20 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel: so, go to mediubuntu instead of Google earth website ? | 09:21 |
| ogzy | how can i install an archived icon set just using terminal and set it the default icon set for the current desktop instead of using the Install button at the Theme manager windows | 09:21 |
| Flannel | livingdaylight: Yeah, you can browse the packages they have, download google earth, and then install it | 09:21 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel: i see a bunch of choices :/ | 09:21 |

| vikku | i have a kernel panic while iam booting krnel of Damn small linux (virtualized)over ubuntu..... it shows values of CPU registers , stack, call trace ,code and says that Kernel panic : Attempted to kill the idle task ..... hmmm what should i do , it doesnt go any further | 09:22 |
| dougsko | vnix: run, synaptic, some time. its a gui for installing packages. aptitude is my favorite though because it removes orphaned dependenceies when you uninstall something | 09:22 |
| crdlb | ogzy: A) extract it to a subfolder of ~/.icons (~/.icons/THEME_NAME) | 09:22 |
| Flannel | livingdaylight: you'll need googleearth-4.3 or -4.2 and the corresponding -data package: http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/index.html | 09:22 |
| ogzy | crdlb, i know that part but i want to make it the default icon theme also, do you know where its info is kept? | 09:22 |
| vnix | Aptitude? | 09:23 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel: gracias | 09:23 |
| crdlb | ogzy: gconf | 09:23 |
| alrex021 | how do I go about reinstalling the nvidia driver on 8.04? I ran apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new then tried to reinstall but it reinstalls way to quickly and doesnt work | 09:23 |
| dougsko | vnix: google it | 09:23 |
| vnix | i can't find it under add/remove. I will google it then | 09:23 |
| alrex021 | i'm reinstalling because it stopped working and doesnt pickup the driver any more | 09:24 |
| ogzy | crdlb, no i dont want to use gconf or any other gui. i am writing my own icon setter for the user so i dont want to show anyother popup windows | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:24 |
| crdlb | ogzy: gconf is not gconf-editor. gconf is a configuration system | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !gconf | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gconf | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !info gconf | 09:25 |
| ogzy | crdlb, then i should check how will use gconf to set the icon theme thanx | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Package gconf does not exist in hardy | 09:25 |
| crdlb | ogzy: it has a C api, and bindings for many languages including python. there is also gconftool-2, a command line client | 09:25 |
| ogzy | crdlb, i am using python, thats nice | 09:25 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel: i'm wondering why there isn't one package with all the depnedencies in them? like a .deb instead of having to run around satisfying a multitude of requirements? | 09:26 |
| Kartagis | funny, ubuntu made a 3gb swap on my home computer with 1gb RAM, whilst it made a 1gb swap on my work computer which also has 1gb RAM | 09:27 |

| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: id use double your ram amount as the amount of swap space | 09:28 |
| ogzy | crdlb, ok thanx will check it now about the usage with gconftool | 09:29 |
| dougsko | Kartagis: i would use about half, if you have a gig or more | 09:29 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip> I just did, because I was sick of having-to-reboots | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: what does the system get used for? | 09:29 |
| Kartagis | dougsko> at the moment, it is 2gb of swap | 09:30 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip> are you asking how much the system uses? | 09:30 |
| dougsko | Kartagis: yeah but how much ram do you have? | 09:30 |
| Kartagis | dougsko> 1gb | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: no, what do you use the ubuntu install to achieve? | 09:30 |
| Kartagis | I don't like windoew | 09:31 |

| alrex021 | hahah | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | alrex021: tried envyng-gtk? | 09:32 |
| alrex021 | oops | 09:32 |
| dougsko | Kartagis: personally, with a gig of ram, id use only about 512mb for swap. but like ActionParsnip's saying, it depends on what your doing | 09:32 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip> not games, definitely | 09:32 |
| alrex021 | ActionParsnip: what is envyng-gtk? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dougsko: considering most folks have 200Gb hard drives or similar, im sure they can lose the space | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | alrex021 | 09:33 |
| ubottu | alrex021: 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 | 09:33 |
| dougsko | ActionParsnip: yeah i guess, but thats not really a reason to waste it | 09:33 |

| dougsko | ActionParsnip: yeah im the same way, but ive found over the years that i barely ever even use the one gig of ram that i have, so 512 swap is really all i need. thats me though | 09:38 |

| PrivateRolf | Elzoog: What's the problem? | 09:56 |
| clayton | ok, but in the past (when i had windows) i chatted on irc, with bigfun program... now i want to join some channel, but i don't have success... | 09:57 |
| clayton | ùhow can i do? | 09:57 |
| dougsko | clayton: /j #channel | 09:58 |

| aRahim | mods plz reply if i can ask queries about ZenWalk here?? | 09:59 |
| elzoog | The problem is, I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10. After I did that, the navigation toolbar and history don't work. I have already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox | 09:59 |

| aRahim | ok upd | 10:02 |
| Dream-Ub1 | got an error http://nexer.net/gnome.png | 10:02 |
| ubd | one more question, is it possible to configure max processor speed in ubuntu ? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | aRahim: why have to open a gui app when a single line command outputs it? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ubd: how do you mean? | 10:02 |
| ubd | ActionParsnip: vista had this option to decrease the processor max mhz, i was using it to avoid heat... | 10:03 |
| aRahim | ActionParsnip: i kinda thought him being a noob | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ubd: id underclock in bios, ive not seen that in a desktop OS before | 10:04 |

| sushanth | i am getting error cant mount volume when i insert my pen | 10:10 |
| Dream-Ub1 | http://nexer.net/gnome.png any way to fix that gnome error? | 10:10 |
| elzoog | ubotto: There are hundreds of other distributions besides Ubuntu. | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: hes a bot | 10:11 |
| Dryanta | elzoog: delete your .mozilla and try again | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: id rename rather than delete | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: you can then copy stuff over | 10:11 |
| Blackhold | ActionParsnip: now is not showing nothing! | 10:11 |
| elzoog | Dryanta: The entire .mozilla directory in my home directory? | 10:11 |
| Dryanta | elzoog: or rename it | 10:11 |
| Blackhold | what I need is to change the level of errors in dmesg | 10:11 |
| Dryanta | i just delete mine when stuff like that happens | 10:11 |
| Dryanta | but i dont have huge important stacks of links or anything | 10:12 |
| Slasher` | hey all could anyone tell me if there's a command to list all unmounted drives please? | 10:12 |
| unop | Blackhold, see -n in the dmesg manpage | 10:13 |
| unop | Slasher`, sudo fdisk -l | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Blackhold: grep basically takes all that output and only shows lines with the text you specify | 10:13 |
| Slasher` | thanks unop | 10:13 |
| elzoog | Thanks Dryanta, that seemed to work | 10:13 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, grep filters things out .. he wants to change the level of logging | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: i thought he just wanted to see module activity | 10:14 |

| nirupama | how does ubuntu update from one ubuntu version to another | 10:15 |
| nirupama | I mean upgrade the system | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | nirupama | 10:15 |
| ubottu | nirupama: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:15 |
| elzoog | So, why did I have to delete the .mozilla directory (actually, I moved it to .oldmozilla) | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nirupama: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: that hold all your firefox preferences and settings | 10:16 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, but will it really upgrade whole of my base system and the applications | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nirupama: yes | 10:16 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, I want to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 | 10:16 |
| unop | nirupama, not really, use the update-manager-core package | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nirupama: no, you need ubottu's link for that | 10:16 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, so can I get 8.04 just by apt-get upgrade | 10:16 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, what is ubottu's link | 10:17 |
| Ontolog | I have a 1.80GHz processor however cpuinfo_cur_freq is only 600MHz. Why is this and how do I change it? | 10:17 |
| elzoog | Also, I am wondering why did I have to search really hard to find an Ubuntu 8.04 DVD iso? Is Ubuntu gradually getting rid of having DVD isos in favor of only offering the CD? | 10:17 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, you mean repository path | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | nirupama: as i said if you are going between versions then use ubottus link, if you want to upgrade the version you have, use my command | 10:17 |
| unop | nirupama, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:17 |
| WoofWoofWoof | Asked this earlier, but no one was able to solve it: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920. Earlier, I shut it down and went away and when I came back a few minutes later, it was on, with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. It turned off when I pressed the power button. Now when I turn it on, it's not booting. It turns on and stops at the blank screen with the blinking cursor and does not proceed further. Right now I'm using the Live | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: the dvd just has more fluff on it (like multiple desktop managers and the like) | 10:18 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, please explain me ubottus | 10:18 |
| hana | I was just trying to test Photoshop in Ubuntu. I put in the CD and attempted to see if wine would respond to it and get it to run. After installing Gecko and attempting the setup process, now Ubuntu will not even read the CD. | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | nirupama | 10:18 |
| ubottu | nirupama: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | nirupama: that link there ^ | 10:18 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, ok | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | nirupama: will upgrade you to the latest release (hardy heron) | 10:19 |
| nirupama | ActionParsnip, ok | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | hana: try a reboot, id try photoshop through wine or even cedega if you dont mind spending the cash | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | hana: gimp is pretty sweet | 10:19 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, gimp is not sweet in my experience. But I did try a reboot and it's the same problem. I am trying photoshop through wine, as I mentioned already. | 10:20 |
| elzoog | Action: Yeah, but I would rather have stuff that is not commonly used, but I would like to try on the DVD (for example, Rosegarden) so that I don't have to download a file from the internet every time I want to try something odd | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: not very much in linux is common, all systems are unique | 10:21 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, I just needed to install gecko because the Photoshop setup.exe uses IE, which requires wine's Gecko component. But after I did that it seems like Ubuntu will not read the photoshop CD. | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hana: try remounting it | 10:21 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, I did. I remove the CD and put it back in and close it and it doesn't reead. | 10:21 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, it read the very first time. | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: if you want all the extra stuff then the dvd is for you, id try and get it via torrents as its faster and you give back tothe community by seeding | 10:22 |
| elzoog | Action: Well, I would say that firefox and openoffice are examples of programs that are common. But for example, I have QCad on my machine. That would be an example of something probably not common | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hana: you need to unmount the cd using sudo umount /mount/point/of/cd | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | elzoog: i use neither | 10:22 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, alright. I'll try that. | 10:22 |
| === zero is now known as Guest48126 | ||
| hana | ActionParsnip, actually, I'm not sure what the mount point of my CD is. | 10:24 |
| elzoog | Action: What do you use instead of Firefox? I use Firefox because it's common enough that web developers are more likely to support it than, for example, Galleon | 10:24 |

| obsidieth | opera is swoi | 10:25 |
| Slasher` | i like opera | 10:25 |
| elzoog | Action: But if I were a web developer, I would only test my sites on Internet Explorer, and Firefox | 10:25 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, wrong. look up some tests | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hana: id have the cd out, reboot, then once you are back in, insert the cd | 10:26 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, ok. | 10:26 |
| hana | ActionParsnip, I'll be back if it doesn't work. Thank you. | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: well it doesnt make my system drag like firefox does when it runs, thats my test | 10:26 |
| Slasher` | elzoog, i test mine on opera as well as those two and sometimes in konqueror too if i'm bored :P | 10:26 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, my FF barely ever get's past 100m | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: its how it runs on MY system that counts, not some test / benchmarks | 10:26 |
| kindofabuzz | M | 10:26 |
| Slasher` | well said ActionParsnip | 10:27 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, true, you should have said Opera uses les memory on my system =) | 10:27 |
| Slasher` | it was the mouse gestures that grabbed my attention to it to be honest | 10:27 |
| elzoog | Slasher: If I notice a web site doesn't look good on Konqueror, I close konqueror and pull up firefox | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | people rely too heavily on benchmarks when they can test software for free and see how it performs | 10:27 |
| Slasher` | i do that if a website doesnt look good in opera elzoog lol | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | and make their own choice | 10:27 |

| ActionParsnip | hana: does it show up in bios? | 10:36 |
| stdin | but they can override in their ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile | 10:36 |

| br0kkN | config better to avoid this. like how /etc/fstab can use uuids, mabye there is something like that for grub config??? | 10:38 |
| ikonia | br0kkN: make sure your grub /boot partition is always on drive 1 then | 10:38 |
| stdin | ikonia, ghostknife: the -E variable to sudo should preserve PATH, but I think you need to edit /etc/sudoers to make it work (not sure) | 10:38 |
| ikonia | br0kkN: then always swap out any other drive rather than drive one, leaving drive 1 in place | 10:38 |
| ikonia | stdin: thats it | 10:39 |

| hana | ActionParsnip, I put in another CD and it mounted on this computer. So I guess the CD drive is also working.

| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: heh thanks. nice work finding that though. i have a prtty old nvidia card so i wouldnt have thought to look on their site for their newest drivers | 10:50 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: good stuff. thats a fun game | 10:50 |
| ikonia | br0kkN: apologies, my front door went | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dougsko: nvidia-legacy drivers will do you if its old | 10:50 |

| Greyspacebt3 | Book mark it I am sure more people like me will ask for it again | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dougsko: envyng-gtk is good for nvidia drivers though | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ghaleb: put them in ~/.bashrc | 10:51 |
| dougsko | ActionParsnip: i was actually able to use just the regular nvidia-glx package | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dougsko: awesome | 10:51 |
| ghaleb | ActionParsnip: thank you | 10:51 |
| Greyspacebt3 | dougsko this is a 350.00 dollar gaming card.. and that means people expect it to work in Ubuntu | 10:51 |
| bob1 | I have a new Dell that I duel booted. I put a HD from another Linux PC in it but it would only mount for the session. I went to "Places", "properties", "Volume", "settings" and "Mount point". I typed /media/drive Now I cant mount the drive at all....help | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyspacebt3: not if the devs havent made support for it yet | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyspacebt3: with open source you cant expect anything, there are no garuntees | 10:52 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: i know id want it to work. but yeah, sometimes it takes a while before theres support for newer hardware like that | 10:52 |

| brettt_ | Anyone here good, familiar with Cairo-Dock? | 10:54 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I didn't have to touch X,,, it auto configured it | 10:55 |
| dougsko | always a bonus :D | 10:55 |
| Myrtti | does anyone have any ideas about where one can find more information about the 60 day trial of Canonicals Landscape? | 10:55 |
| Greyspacebt3 | dougsko, say no to check Nvidia for a kernel at the start.. the rest of the questions are the default | 10:56 |
| ghaleb | ActionParsnip: it didn't work | 10:56 |
| unop | ghaleb, how did you export the variable in ~/.bashrc ? | 10:56 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: easy enough | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ghaleb: did you put export on the line, if you look through the file you'll find stuff | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrtti: you could install webmin instead | 10:57 |
| ghaleb | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:57 |
| bob1 | I duel booted my Dell and Ubuntu works great! but it sometimes restarts several times on boot up? any ideas? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrtti: its free forever | 10:57 |
| Myrtti | ActionParsnip: it's not for me but for a friend who has tried to enroll for the trial and has some problems/questions about it | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Myrtti: oh then ive no idea, ive used webmin a little | 10:58 |
| ghaleb | I copied the exported variables into the shell, it worked | 10:58 |
| Greyspacebt3 | dougsko, yeah,,, after 4 hours ,, then another 2 hours with you and dinner,, and then 30 minutes retrying it until I figured out "not to request new kernal... and let it rebuild a kernel... yeah it was easy | 10:58 |
| ghaleb | but it doesn't when opening a new terminal | 10:59 |
| zocky | hi | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ghaleb: type source ~/.bashrc | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ghaleb: in terminal | 10:59 |
| unop | ghaleb, what's the exact line you used in your ~/.bashrc ? maybe there's a syntax error in the export? | 10:59 |
| zocky | anyone know how I can turn off a usb device, as opposed to just allowing it to be suspended? | 10:59 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: heh thats all part of the fun. if everything just worked all the time, there'd be a lot less (forced) learning opportunities haha | 11:00 |
| Greyspacebt3 | dougsko, easy question how to I install a super terminal or root terminal | 11:00 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: there isnt such a thing. what exactly are you trying to do? | 11:01 |
| Greyspacebt3 | dougsko, but my head hurts | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyspacebt3: no need, just sudo when you need root priveledges | 11:01 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Actually there such a thing | 11:01 |
| Greyspacebt3 | brb | 11:01 |
| unop | Greyspacebt3, you don't need to install one .. you can create a launcher that runs this command. gksudo x-terminal-emulator | 11:01 |
| lmg | Greyspacebt3: actually, there is one installed | 11:01 |
| zocky | what unop said | 11:01 |
| lmg | Greyspacebt3: just enable it | 11:01 |
| lmg | system > preferences > startmenu | 11:01 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lmg.. your right.. but I don't rememeber where it is | 11:02 |
| lmg | > main menu that is | 11:02 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lmg.. too funny | 11:02 |
| vampur | hello every one | 11:02 |
| Cheiron | Not in scope: `is' | 11:02 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lmg... thanks | 11:02 |

| Greyspacebt3 | Thats the one | 11:02 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lmg... you rock | 11:02 |
| lmg | but what the others said is perfectly right too. it's just another launcher | 11:02 |
| unop | zocky, what king of a USB device is it? | 11:03 |
| lmg | no big deal. hth | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyspacebt3: gksu terminal & will sprout a root terminal | 11:03 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lmg there she is | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyspacebt3: but its not needed as you are a member of admin so you can sudo stuff | 11:03 |
| zocky | unop, a builtin webcam | 11:03 |
| unop | if 'terminal' is indeed a valid command i.e. | 11:03 |
| zocky | unop, on a laptop | 11:03 |
| dougsko | Greyspacebt3: you can also do a 'sudo -i' in any terminal to get a root prompt | 11:03 |

| Greyspacebt3 | lmg I like sudo us | 11:05 |
| Greyspacebt3 | sudo su | 11:05 |
| unop | lmg, it works .. yes, _unsafely_ .. use sudo -i or sudo -s to setup the environment properly | 11:05 |
| lmg | ActionParsnip: not sure. since it freezes before displaying the page | 11:05 |
| vampur | i am having problem with my pendirive when i installed the slux in my pendrive and now the pendrive is not reading it only shows me the removable disk can any one help me how can i regain it ??? thanks | 11:05 |

| lmg | unop: s/that's/thanks | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | clarence: in menu.lst | 11:06 |
| lmg | ActionParsnip: you think it's a plugin problem? | 11:06 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I don't mind sudo for a session... but running sudo every command drives me nuts | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | img: no idea, just testing | 11:06 |
| clarence | what meaning? | 11:06 |
| brettt_ | can anyone help with cairo-dock? | 11:06 |

| vampur | not even it's being formatting | 11:07 |
| lmg | ActionParsnip: heh. | 11:07 |
| unop | zocky, not sure your webcam would support this -- but you could try adjusting hal properties .. see hal-set-property and hal-get-property | 11:07 |
| negge | vampur: and you want to remove the flux thing from it so it's empty again? | 11:07 |

| ActionParsnip | clarence: i told you | 11:08 |
| negge | vampur: you probably have to reformat it. You can use gparted for this | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | clarence: that file tells the system how to boot and which kernel to use | 11:08 |

| ubottu | michaesaur, please see my private message | 11:09 |
| lmg | michaesaur: apt-cache search mysql | 11:09 |
| clarence | I saw the Internet , someone say use "make menuconfig" | 11:09 |
| negge | vampur: open a terminal and write "sudo apt-get install gparted", after it is installed go to System --> Administration --> Partition editor, select the appropriate device and format the partition (or remove all partitions and create a new one) | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | clarence: thats compiling the kernel | 11:09 |

| clarence | but it was faild | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | bob1: run the memory scanner and fsck your partitions | 11:10 |
| negge | bob1: start without the splash screen so you can see where it goes wrong | 11:10 |
| lmg | guys, not really an ubuntu-question, but: how hot are harddrives expected to become? mine are 40,42 and 43 deg celsius. is that okay? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | clarence: you need the kernel source as well as the build-essential package | 11:10 |
| |ns|nR8 | yeah its fine lmg | 11:10 |
| mm2000 | hit there, how can i install locale en_GB (not UTF8) from terminal? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | lmg: sounds ok | 11:10 |
| bob1 | negge, how do I satrt w/o the splash screen? | 11:11 |
| lmg | |ns|nR8, ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. I was a little worried. | 11:11 |
| unop | mm2000, dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales #probably | 11:11 |
| RichiH | lmg: anything above 30 degrees celsius is bad, but in reality, 40-ish is an OK value | 11:11 |
| |ns|nR8 | lmg, ive had drives taht would burn your hand if you left it there | 11:11 |
| clarence | how to speed up the Ubuntu 8.04 of the boot speed? | 11:11 |
| lmg | bob1: remove "quiet" and/or "splash" from the boot-line in menu.lst | 11:11 |
| negge | bob1: when you get to the GRUB screen, press E to edit the boot line, then remove the "quiet splash" part at the end | 11:12 |
| lmg | |ns|nR8: yeah, they _are_ hot. | 11:12 |
| bob1 | Thanks Everyone | 11:12 |

| Greyspacebt3 | Is there a install that will show you your temperatures | 11:14 |
| lmg | Greyspacebt3: lmsensors | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | lmg: if you run sudo fdisk -l you will get an output. Which /dev is the pendrive (e.g. /dev/sdb) | 11:14 |
| lmg | + the applet + the driver for your mobos chip | 11:14 |
| |ns|nR8 | does that report temps on sata drives lmg or just IDE | 11:14 |

| Abracadabra | ls -ltrR | grep icmpInSrcQuenchs | grep 2008-09-08 | more but I need it to list the folders | 11:30 |
| unop | Abracadabra, list what though? | 11:30 |
| vampur | okh | 11:30 |
| vampur | sorry | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | vampur: just tell the last line, scrolling isnt cool | 11:30 |
| unop | Abracadabra, what are you trying to do? | 11:30 |
| unop | vampur, it /dev/eda the device name of your harddrive? | 11:31 |
| unop | vampur, eda doesn't sound right | 11:31 |
| Abracadabra | unop, I am trying to find all the files icmpInSrcQuenchs, recursively by a specific date and to find out which of those files are in which folder | 11:31 |
| vampur | dear unop how may i get the right name of the drive | 11:32 |
| unop | vampur, sudo fdisk -l | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | vampur: id get testdisk installed. I think yuo can write a FAT to the device | 11:32 |
| unop | Abracadabra, you should use find instead. something like. find /path -iname '*icmpinsrcquenchs*' -type f -newer $SOME_DATE -exec dirname {} \; | 11:33 |
| Abracadabra | unop, so I start in /usr/folder (inside folder, there are over 200 subfolders, all named by numbers .... in each of those folders are the file icmpInSrcQuenchs). I need to list the ones that have been updating today, and in which folders they are in | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | vampur: yes, testdisk can write an mbr to the device which may or may not make it work | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | vampur: you can always uninstall it | 11:34 |
| vampur | dear action i installed testdisk now what to do | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sudo testdisk | 11:35 |
| unop | Abracadabra, find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1 #should list files modified in the last 24 hours | 11:36 |
| vampur | now dere are option for creat log append file and no log | 11:37 |
| unop | Abracadabra, if you just want the directories these files belong in. find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1 -exec dirname {} \; | sort | uniq | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | vampur: no need for a log | 11:37 |
| vampur | then | 11:37 |

| valentinex | Hello i am new i want to install flashplayer | 11:39 |
| Abracadabra | unop, ty, and if I want to check files that have updated in the last 30 mins for eg ? | 11:39 |
| Abracadabra | instead of the last day.. | 11:39 |
| lmg | valentinex: google "medibuntu repository" add it following the directions and install "flashplayer-nonfree" | 11:39 |
| carrera | can anyone tell me if there's a problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"? | 11:40 |
| valentinex | lmg: how to add directions | 11:40 |
| unop | Abracadabra, hmm, see the -newer option to find | 11:40 |
| unop | Abracadabra, also the -?time options | 11:40 |
| valentinex | lmg: its in .tar.gz extension which i downloaded | 11:40 |
| unop | carrera, sudo bash does not set the environment up in the same way sudo -i does .. the former is not recommended | 11:41 |
| unop | carrera, if i remember right, sudo bash is somewhat like sudo -s | 11:41 |
| unop | though not exactly | 11:41 |
| carrera | thanks unop, why isn't it recommended? | 11:41 |
| carrera | unop, so I shouldn't use it to run commands like "make install"? | 11:42 |
| valentinex | how to handle a downloaded .tar.gz file? | 11:42 |
| Abracadabra | unop, ok, ty | 11:42 |
| lmg | valentinex: that is for local install ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ | 11:42 |
| mrglinux | are there any mail client program that it can separate each account in side bar (like outlook 2003) not each email from each account stand in a inbox ? | 11:43 |
| unop | carrera, because the environment still has variables referencing your files, directories, etc .. and if any files are created (in your directories), only root will be able to open them -- which is almost never what you want. | 11:43 |
| carrera | unop, man page says: The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL envi‐ | 11:43 |
| carrera | ronment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in | 11:43 |
| carrera | passwd(5). | 11:43 |
| unop | carrera, sudo make install #should be enough | 11:43 |
| valentinex | lmg: i am totally new . i should enter that in terminal? i dont know much about computer too | 11:43 |
| carrera | unop, so it seems like sudo -s is exactly like "sudo bash" | 11:43 |
| carrera | unop, thanks. I used to do "sudo -i" before I ran make install | 11:44 |
| lmg | valentinex: extract libflashplayer... | 11:44 |
| vampur | the media i mean the pendrive is not being displeyd in testdisk | 11:44 |
| unop | carrera, it's safer to use sudo -i unless you really really want otherwise | 11:44 |
| lmg | valentinex: cut it. goto /home/valentinex/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ and paste it there. | 11:44 |
| unop | carrera, though it doesn't make sense to sudo -i just to run make install .. as you can just run make under sudo | 11:45 |
| zacha | What's "menu>quit..." called? I want to find out how to add more options to it (hibernate + sleep etc) | 11:46 |
| carrera | unop, so which is better, to just run "sudo make install" or to login to root interactively? | 11:46 |
| unop | carrera, sudo make install | 11:46 |
| carrera | ok | 11:46 |
| lmg | carrera: sudo (without any switches) preserves your environment (display, path) which is needed by some programs. | 11:47 |
| cabi | #ubuntuusers | 11:47 |
| valentinex | lmg: home/valentine etc after that i am unable to find mozilla | 11:47 |
| vampur | now wthat can i do just to format my pendrive as it's not able to read | 11:47 |
| carrera | lmg, thanks. Isn't it best to use root's env for make install as in other Unix/Linux? | 11:48 |
| lmg | valentinex: note: it's .mozilla | 11:48 |
| xr600 | Anyone here got experience with getting Symbian phones to work with Ubuntu ?! | 11:48 |
| lmg | valentinex: a hidden file with a .(dot) in front | 11:48 |

| valentinex | lmg: should i type that address in terminal? | 11:48 |
| plouffe | .. | 11:48 |
| Slasher` | xr600, my nokia 6300 just works when i plug it in, i use data storage mode | 11:48 |
| lmg | valentinex: you can type in nautilus adress bar, or show hidden files (CTRL+H iirc) | 11:49 |
| unop | carrera, not really, you just need to be root to run 'make install' | 11:49 |
| unop | carrera, meaning, you need root's privileges | 11:49 |
| valentinex | lmg: found it doing | 11:49 |
| carrera | unop, thaks | 11:49 |
| xr600 | Slasher`Hm... How about Sync+uploading MP#'s to the bastad ?! | 11:50 |
| xr600 | Slasher`Mine is a Samsung i450 | 11:50 |

| Slasher` | xr600, when i plug my phone in it just gives me 3 options, nokia mode, something else and data storage, i pick data storage and can use it like a pen drive | 11:51 |
| carrera | what's in the medibuntu repository? | 11:51 |
| xr600 | Slasher`My 'old' SE phone would show up in Rythmbox... | 11:51 |
| lmg | valentinex: create one. put libflashplayer... in there. | 11:51 |
| lmg | valentinex: restart firefox, flash away | 11:52 |
| Slasher` | xr600, hmm just looked about and can't see anything, so i can't help you there, sorry :( | 11:52 |
| carrera | can anyone tell me how I can add medibuntu repository? | 11:52 |
| carrera | I don't see it in the Software Sources list | 11:52 |

| xr600 | Slasher`No prob... IRC is'nt my first cry for help either ;) | 11:53 |
| bastid_raZor | ben34; vmware or virtualbox | 11:53 |
| carrera | thanks bastid_raZor | 11:53 |
| ben34 | virtualbox was what i was thinking of | 11:53 |
| ben34 | thanks | 11:53 |
| carrera | bastid_raZor, isn't VirtualBox better for running XP? | 11:54 |
| valentinex | lmg: Thanks :D it worked | 11:54 |
| bastid_raZor | carrera; i use VMWare and i've never used VirtualBox.. so i can't really say. | 11:54 |
| darren | hi does any one know how to install hotmail in evolution | 11:54 |
| unop | darren, hotmail does not support POP/SMTP/IMAP -- so my guess is you can't | 11:55 |
| Badboy_ | Is it possible to write a recursive Macro(function like) in C | 11:55 |
| carrera | bastid_raZor, VMWare runs really slow on my laptop | 11:56 |

| xMassi1986x | Hi | 11:59 |

| michaesaur | lmg: you should try from source. Crux is a good banker. | 11:59 |
| dooglus | Badboy_: C preprocessor macros can't be recursive, but recursion can be achieved using C++'s template mechanism | 11:59 |

| ActionParsnip | g33k_gir1: both corel draw and photoshop are graphics packages | 12:34 |
| stuporglue | gimp is for raster graphics, inkscape is for vector graphics. I think corel draw is more for vector work, isn't it? | 12:35 |

| g33k_gir1 | nope ... haven't tried Inkscape. I've manage to convince my supervisor to make the switch to linux on her personal machine. Is Inkscape easy to use for a windows-convert with windows-only computer skills (ie, she aint gonna be running anything on the command line until she gets her confidence up) | 12:35 |
| jrib | g33k_gir1: it's all graphical | 12:35 |

| Tophat | where can i shop for linux stuff? like coffee cups and stickers and blahblah blah | 13:38 |
| Pici | d0c5i5: pan is the only gui newsreader that supports nzb files that I know of. | 13:38 |
| arvind_k | Tophat, ubuntu.com | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | Tophat, cheapbytes.com may have some stuff/ads | 13:38 |
| Tophat | werd | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | Tophat, then theres tons of other linux related sites with their own stores. | 13:39 |

| KenBW22 | which package do i need to install to read wma's? | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | !w32codecs | KenBW22 | 13:40 |
| ubottu | KenBW22: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 13:40 |
| Rajec | guys I have Intel Core 2 DUO 2160 so I should download ubuntu for 64bit AMD and Intel computers right? | 13:40 |
| amanulla | see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ | 13:40 |
| drue_ | After i do sudo dpkg --configure -a will it let me install updates? | 13:40 |
| amanulla | any one | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, install the w32codecs pack for starters | 13:40 |
| amanulla | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ | 13:40 |
| jrib | Rajec: 32bit will work as well if you want to use that | 13:40 |
| brettt_ | Hi, is there a command in terminal that will show like systeminfo? | 13:40 |
| jrib | brettt_: lspci and lshw | 13:40 |
| Rajec | jrib: yeah I see but 64bit should be better once I have 64bit CPU | 13:40 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: ive already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, dunno if that has the w32codecs package in it | 13:40 |
| jrib | Rajec: how much ram do you have? | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, if you dident have medibuntu enabled.. it dident. | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | I think. | 13:41 |
| dooglus | amanulla: "using wiki"? what do you mean by that? | 13:41 |
| Rajec | jrib: 1gb ;) but for example I heard that 64bit Vista version is faster than 32bit | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Rajec: you heard wrong | 13:41 |
| amanulla | i have installed ubuntu 8 in xp as an application software in xp using wiki | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | Rajec, i imagine it depends on the tasks the OS is doing.. I dont find it any faster. :) | 13:41 |
| ikonia | amanulla: wubi | 13:42 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: i can *play* the wma's, but im trying to convert ione to mp3 using soundKonverter. but it doesn't list wma's as a supported format | 13:42 |
| JackTop | hmm i think i really have problems. parted shows / as sda5, but grub need it as (hd0,6) | 13:42 |
| Rajec | ikonia: thats experience of one of my (very experienced) friend | 13:42 |
| lrojas | i just installed ubuntu server, and i was following the documentation to install lighttpd + ruby + rails, everything installed ok but now when i try to access the site, it says conection refused... what am i doing wrong? | 13:42 |
| ikonia | Rajec: he's wrong | 13:42 |
| amanulla | it mean i can uninstall it when ever i need from add r remove programs | 13:42 |
| ikonia | Rajec: and doesn't appear that experienced | 13:42 |
| ikonia | JackTop: thats correct | 13:42 |
| dooglus | amanulla: you just said "using wiki" again. what do you mean by that? wikis are a kind of website that users can edit | 13:42 |
| lrojas | anybody? | 13:42 |
| JackTop | i'm pretty sure that sda6 used to be my root... | 13:42 |
| Pici | dooglus: amanulla means Wubi | 13:42 |
| ushimitsudoki | amanulla: wubi? | 13:42 |
| amanulla | ok im wrong its wubi | 13:42 |
| jrib | Rajec: I don't see why, 64bit just lets you address > 4GB ram. You won't notice a speed difference if there is one anyway. The issue is that some software isn't available for 64bit. For a desktop user, I can only thing of the lack of sun's java plugin for 64bit | 13:42 |
| ikonia | JackTop: why is that a problem ? | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, thats a different thing then. :) It may not even support wma. or it may be a compile time option. I would check the ubuntu forums, and perhaps the soundkonverter homepage. | 13:43 |
| dooglus | JackTop: sda6 is (hd0,5) I think | 13:43 |
| nAhIaN | Pici: I've runned that command the nany other command do I need to do ??? | 13:43 |
| drue_ | Setting up gnome-games-data (1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2) ... How long does this normally Take? | 13:43 |
| Pici | nAhIaN: Nope, that should do it | 13:43 |
| ikonia | dooglus: depends on the extended partition layout, but your correct | 13:43 |
| sipior | lrojas: well, is the web server running? | 13:43 |
| Rajec | dr_willis, ikonia, jrib so rather 32bit beccuase of potencial problems with 64bit version | 13:43 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: oh right. i had the same problem with mp3's until i installed lame. assumed there must be one for wma's as well | 13:43 |
| dr_willis | Rajec, for most people i dont see much reason to go 64bit unless you got lots of ram. | 13:43 |
| amanulla | konia:is it wubi | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, no idea on that . I never touch wma's :) | 13:44 |
| jrib | Rajec: that's what I would recommend, yes | 13:44 |
| dooglus | JackTop: I have "root (hd0,1)" and "root=/dev/hda2" | 13:44 |
| Rajec | dr_willis, ikonia, jrib ok thanks ;) | 13:44 |
| KenBW22 | dr_willis: i dont normally, but there wasnt an mp3 available | 13:44 |
| amanulla | ikonia: is it wubi or wiki? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | amanulla: wubi | 13:44 |
| nAhIaN | Pici: thanks | 13:44 |
| amanulla | ok | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | KenBW22, you may want to google for wma to wav converter apps and see whats out. | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | !wma | 13:44 |

| dr_willis | amanulla, i imagine everyone has totally frogotten your original question now.. YOu may wish to rephrase/summarize it in a better format. | 13:46 |
| riegersn | Im on a desktop that always powered on, can I turn off the 2 power management services (acpid & apmd) ? | 13:46 |
| amanulla | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ | 13:46 |
| amanulla | its in clear over here | 13:47 |
| JackTop | ikonia: and how can i check that the partition table is ok ? | 13:47 |
| amanulla | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ | 13:47 |
| ikonia | JackTop: why would it not be - the partition table is either valid - or invalid | 13:47 |
| drue_ | Will sudo dpkg --configure -a Also fix my sound driver cause i had a power outage which caused all of this | 13:47 |
| JackTop | ikonia: i think something went wrong when i was resizing the disk using qparted | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, not everyone has a web browser handy. a summary is always handy. | 13:47 |
| nAhIaN | Pici: I am using amsn for msn mesenger but for yahoo which one is better than pidgin brother, in pidgin I dont get any notification if user come online or offline | 13:48 |
| ikonia | JackTop: so if you can mount the partitions there is a valid partition table | 13:48 |
| amanulla | ok i need to configure internet connection in ubuntu 7.04 how can i | 13:48 |
| ikonia | JackTop: I'd be more worried about your file system | 13:48 |
| Pici | nAhIaN: I'm not sure, sorry. I dont a messaging client. | 13:48 |
| nAhIaN | Pici: ohh ok | 13:48 |

| ricc101 | the lovely creative x-fi ones :/ | 13:49 |
| ikonia | JackTop: thats a very good idea | 13:49 |
| riegersn | Im on a desktop that always powered on, can I turn off the 2 power management services (acpid & apmd) ? | 13:49 |
| ikonia | ricc101: there should be documentation with the drivers on what to do / how to use them | 13:49 |
| ricc101 | I am trying to do that but the i cant get it to run in the root directory | 13:50 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, this is a wired network? or wireless? i have no machines with 7.04 so really cant walk you through the menus either. | 13:50 |
| ikonia | ricc101: what command are you trying to do, and what error | 13:50 |
| drue_ | Does anyone know if i can reinstall my sound drivers Via Terminal? | 13:50 |
| ikonia | drue_: 1.) why do you want to re-install 2.) what drivers ? | 13:50 |

| drue_ | yes | 13:52 |
| ikonia | riegersn: you should be able to enable/disable any service you want | 13:52 |
| ricc101 | it says Run one of the following commands as root in the terminal: | 13:52 |
| ricc101 | ./installer | 13:53 |
| ikonia | riegersn: most are controlled by init scripts | 13:53 |
| amanulla | dr_willis:are you asking about my network connection? | 13:53 |
| ricc101 | which i did and it says no such file or directory which is bull | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, err.. yes.. | 13:53 |
| arvind | drue_, after you ran sudo dpkg --configure -a what happend? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | riegersn: so you need to run ./installer in the directory where the file "installer" exists | 13:53 |

| trylleklovn | morning lads, due to a bug in the sound driver im using, i need to reload the driver upon reentry from suspend, i do that by adding "fuser -k /dev/snd/*; modprobe -r snd-cs46xx; modprobe snd-cs46xx" to /etc/acpi/resume.d/72-acpi-pain.sh but it doesn't seem to be executed, if i run the commands manually it works fine | 14:06 |

| ricc101 | I've cd'ed | 14:10 |

| JuJuBee | Was fine Friday. | 14:10 |
| ricc101 | into the documents folder | 14:10 |
| veeti123 | cheeky have you checked your bios, it's possible that computer boots from wrong media (harddisk) | 14:10 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: have you built your maps, have you got the clients to bind to it | 14:10 |
| ricc101 | what do i do now? thanks | 14:10 |
| ikonia | ricc101: follow the instructions with the installer | 14:10 |
| zacha | Sorry I didn't see the new replies. This is what it looks like: http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/5512/partitionmk3.png | 14:10 |
| ricc101 | Thats what im trying to tell you i am | 14:10 |
| cheeky | can anyone tell me why my installation didnt work from my live cd? | 14:10 |
| ricc101 | but its not working | 14:11 |
| ikonia | ricc101: what part is not working now | 14:11 |
| cheeky | it just goes to a black screen | 14:11 |
| ricc101 | ./installer part | 14:11 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : how can I tell if the bind was successful? ypcat passwd works | 14:11 |
| ikonia | ricc101: show me "ls -la installer" | 14:11 |
| veeti123 | cheeky if you don't know what bios are it doesn't matter | 14:11 |
| valentinex | hello file sharing problem | 14:11 |
| Captain_Redbeard | anyone here who has some experience with cmake? | 14:11 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: is that on a client - or the server | 14:11 |
| cheeky | i i do kinda | 14:11 |
| JuJuBee | client | 14:11 |
| cheeky | i set up my boot sequence | 14:11 |
| veeti123 | cheeky ahaa | 14:11 |
| cheeky | and it still gives me the ubuntu slash screen | 14:11 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: then it should be bound, if an external client can do a ypcat - you know it's hitting a master/slave server | 14:12 |
| cheeky | splash screen and then goes black | 14:12 |
| ricc101 | -rwxr--r-- 1 ricc101 ricc101 33149 2008-04-09 04:24 installer | 14:12 |
| cheeky | mind you i have 2 HDD | 14:12 |
| veeti123 | hmm | 14:12 |
| cheeky | one running wndows | 14:12 |
| cheeky | and the other hoping to try ubuntu | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | cheeky, one is the framebuffer splash. other is X configuration/Video card drivers are seperate thing. | 14:12 |
| veeti123 | cheeky i google some, wait a second | 14:12 |
| RyanPrior | I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it? | 14:12 |
| ikonia | ricc101: so if you do "sudo ./installer" what happens ? | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | cheeky, People will want to know your exact video card I imagine. | 14:12 |
| madk | nmap localhost tells, ipp port is open, nmap from the client machine doesnt see ipp port at all! what's wrong? client is even in /etc/hosts.allow and i think i configured /etc/cups/cupsd.conf right... http://pastebin.ca/1197183 this is my cupsd.con any suggestioins? | 14:12 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : after entering username and password, seems to hang Blank screen Background pic only (background of login screen) | 14:13 |
| cheeky | its a nvidia 6600 | 14:13 |
| ricc101 | ahhhhh thanks ikonia its working now | 14:13 |
| ikonia | madk: hosts.allow is for connections, not port scans | 14:13 |
| cheeky | but see iam still running on the live cd right now | 14:13 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: most common cause will be name resolution on that | 14:13 |
| cheeky | coz this is my second install and still cant get it up and running | 14:13 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: if you get a black screen - it means it's taken the credentilas | 14:13 |
| ikonia | credentials even | 14:13 |
| madk | ikonia, so, i would see the ipp port if i scan from the client machine! | 14:13 |
| kooothor_ | can someone help me out with this fan pb on mactel ? thx >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5749409#post5749409 | 14:13 |
| ikonia | madk: depends if there is anything blocking that port (hosts allow doesn't block a port) | 14:14 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : yp.conf lists server by IP not name | 14:14 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: sorry, I mean from the server back to the client | 14:14 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: reverse loolup | 14:14 |
| ikonia | lookup | 14:14 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: have you got NFS home directories ? | 14:14 |
| JuJuBee | Yes | 14:14 |
| madk | ikonia, can you look at the cupsd.conf file i posted? ( http://pastebin.ca/1197183 ) what's wrong with it? | 14:14 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: can you ping the client ? | 14:14 |
| ikonia | madk: what problem are you having | 14:15 |
| JuJuBee | yes | 14:15 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: so is the nfs server running, resolvable, pingable, from the client ? | 14:15 |
| madk | ikonia, i cant install the printer (on windows client) from my linux (server). the printer is running with cups. | 14:15 |
| zacha | why is one partition nestled under /dev/sda2 while the other isn't? http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/5512/partitionmk3.png | 14:16 |
| ikonia | madk: what happens when you try to install it, and what type of printer is it | 14:16 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : Yes | 14:16 |
| ricc101 | right im now getting after runing the file | 14:16 |
| ricc101 | checking for gcc... gcc | 14:16 |
| ricc101 | checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 14:16 |
| ikonia | ricc101: install the package "build-essential" | 14:16 |
| Pici | ricc101: you need to install the build-essential metapackage: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 14:17 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: well, thats the most common issue - name resolution and nfs server | 14:17 |
| dr_willis | cheeky, You could install the nvidia-glx-new package from the console of your installed system. that may kick it in the head. :) | 14:17 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: your nis server appears to be working in that it has authorised your client | 14:17 |
| madk | ikonia, i cant find the printer. so i did the portscan which tells, ipp port isnt opened. on server, i can access cups with localhost:631 | 14:17 |
| madk | ikonia, i did it with this how-to: http://www.linux-fuer-alle.de/doc_show.php?docid=132 | 14:17 |
| the_darkside_986 | What's the GUI way to change the host name in Ubuntu? I tried changing the host name file but that seems to cause problems and doesn't update everywhere. | 14:18 |
| dr_willis | !hostname | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 14:18 |
| ikonia | madk: sounds like the cups server isn't listening on the interface you want | 14:18 |
| kia | /quit | 14:18 |
| ikonia | madk: in future if possible try to use ubuntu docs/guides | 14:18 |
| kooothor_ | can someone help me out with this fan pb on mactel ? thx >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5749409#post5749409 | 14:18 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : thanks, but client still hangs after uname/passwd Students cannot login still. Any other suggestions? | 14:18 |
| RyanPrior | I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it? | 14:18 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: I'd strongly look at the NFS server, does the nfs server log mounting the home drive on that clients IP / MAc ? | 14:19 |
| exalted | Hi. What's the proper way of changing tty's resolutions? | 14:19 |
| srn | is there a log file of execution of /etc/acpi/resume.d ? and where? | 14:19 |
| brEz | Hi, how can I change the xchat icon in the panel when it's minimised? | 14:19 |
| madk | ikonia, hmmm.. k, in future. you have suggestions? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | madk: yes, if the application is not listening on the IP you want (localhost only) then something is blocking it, or it's not bound to the correct interface | 14:20 |
| ikonia | madk: what make of printer is it | 14:20 |
| joaopinto | brEz, I don't think you can change it, it's probably hardcoded | 14:20 |
| Tulimaq | RyanPrior: what is your sudo fdisk -l output | 14:20 |
| ricc101 | got the file to run this time but right at the end it says: | 14:20 |
| brEz | =[ | 14:20 |
| ricc101 | make: *** [all] Error 2 | 14:20 |
| ricc101 | make: *** [install] Error 2 | 14:21 |
| madk | ikonia, it is hp | 14:21 |
| ricc101 | Installation Unsuccessful | 14:21 |
| brEz | makes the whole theme oogly :P | 14:21 |

| spiritssight | ikonia: Yes it is my gf computer access the router | 14:30 |
| spiritssight | wireless | 14:30 |
| weboide | krunchyfrog: have you tried phpwiki ? | 14:30 |
| ikonia | spiritssight: then why are you looking for setup help with your router ? | 14:30 |
| dooglus | krunchyfrog: have you tried aswiki, didiwiki, docbookwiki, dokuwiki, hiki, ikiwiki, indywiki, jspwiki, kwiki, mediawiki, parsewiki, phpwiki, twiki, and wiliki? | 14:31 |
| krunchyfrog | heheheh | 14:31 |
| weboide | krunchyfrog: I found many ones on apt... just do apt-cache search 'wiki' | 14:31 |
| madk | ikonia, can't find anything whcih tells me to which interface cups is bound | 14:31 |
| spiritssight | setup of the router with regardes to being able to connect remotly (dyndns) | 14:31 |
| ikonia | madk: try telneting to the port | 14:31 |
| arvind_k | ricc101, read the installation notes properly for pre-requisites | 14:31 |
| ikonia | spiritssight: I see | 14:31 |
| vbabiy | Hey has any one been able to use banshee 1.2.1 with the IPOD 5th gen? | 14:31 |

| valentinex | Pici: it opened a text file now where to add usershare owner only = false? | 14:32 |
| madk | ikonia, nmap cant find the port... | 14:32 |
| ricc101 | this is what i have been following http://paste.ubuntu.com/44541/ | 14:32 |
| RyanPrior | vbabiy: As far as I know, 5th gen iPod doesn't have Linux support. Apple is doing all it can to make its products work only with iTunes. | 14:32 |
| weboide | krunchyfrog: you can do : apt-cache search 'whatyouwant' and then do, apt-cache show packageyouwant to see info | 14:32 |
| ikonia | madk: I didn't say nmap it | 14:32 |
| madk | ikonia, telnet cant connect to that port | 14:32 |
| Pici | valentinex: Anywhere is fine. Maybe the bottom of the file. | 14:33 |
| krunchyfrog | cool | 14:33 |
| ikonia | madk: ok, so it's not listening on that port, so check your cups config/setup | 14:33 |
| vbabiy | RyanPrior: no this is the Ipod with video it works well with amarok | 14:33 |
| madk | ikonia, i did that. twice. i cant find the error. | 14:34 |
| valentinex | Pici: with commas? "usershare owner only = False" | 14:34 |
| spiritssight | any one help with my issue of wireless manger not see ANY wireless in the area and its not the router as my gf system is connected to it with out a problem | 14:34 |
| RyanPrior | vbabiy: Cool. I guess 5th gen must be supported now, then. If you're looking for people more familiar with Banshee, try joining irc.gnome.org/banshee | 14:34 |
| Pici | valentinex: You mean quotations? No, without them. | 14:34 |
| arvind_k | ricc101, you are missing some files... i dont know which ones | 14:34 |
| ikonia | madk: you won't find an error in the config file, you need to look for an interface and/or port setup, and if there isn't one there, check the default out and see if it's what you want | 14:34 |
| yates | spiritssight: are you using a laptop with a Broadcom wireless card? | 14:35 |
| madk | can someone check my cupsd.conf? http://pastebin.ca/1197201 | 14:35 |

| madk | ikonia, i added this just one minuite ago | 14:36 |
| madk | ikonia, and it didn't work with or without this entry | 14:36 |
| ikonia | madk: is that a valid parameter to use ? | 14:36 |
| spiritssight | yates: yes I am using laptop with broadcom wireless 4311 I think is the number and I did a lot of stuff yesterday with installing nsdwrapper etc and it made no differents for me | 14:36 |
| yates | spiritssight: and what's "gf"? | 14:36 |
| ikonia | madk: is LISTEN a cups parameter | 14:36 |
| madk | ikonia, 192.168.1.33:631 didnt work either | 14:36 |
| spiritssight | girl friend | 14:36 |
| madk | the two entrys above were in the default configuration. so i assume yes | 14:37 |
| yates | did you install the firmware? | 14:37 |
| arvind_k | ricc101, btw what are you compiling? | 14:37 |
| yates | spiritssight: did you install the firmware? | 14:37 |
| spiritssight | I believe so | 14:37 |
| ikonia | madk: well the first line binds it to the localhost only | 14:37 |
| krunchyfrog | Now, can anyone help me reconfigure my tvpc? It's connected to my tv using the s-video out of my fx5200 but sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and rebooting didn't help | 14:37 |
| spiritssight | yates: I believe so | 14:37 |
| ghamdan | Assistance!!! Any advise on how to view my Ubuntu file system from MSwindows XP -- i got a duel boot happening ? | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | !ext3 | ghamdan | 14:38 |
| ubottu | ghamdan: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 14:38 |
| yates | spiritssight: i have the exact same situation and mine worked beautifully immediately | 14:38 |
| ikonia | ghamdan: I advise you not to | 14:38 |
| madk | ikonia, oh, that's not what i want. | 14:38 |
| ikonia | ghamdan: the ext3 driver is not stable in windows - please check in ##windows for window support | 14:38 |

| weboide | ghamdan: try this, works good : http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ | 14:39 |
| yates | spiritssight: are you using 8.04LTS? | 14:39 |
| adidust | network emulator | 14:39 |
| dooglus | ghamdan: I use the ext3 driver in windows to read my linux drive, but don't trust it to write | 14:39 |
| ikonia | adidust: well I suggest you use the resources your lecturer gave you | 14:39 |
| adidust | my lecturer gave me nothing | 14:39 |
| adidust | just ask me to install it | 14:39 |
| ikonia | adidust: I can't see nist net as an ubuntu packaged application | 14:40 |
| spiritssight | yates: yes I am using 804lts, and yes I do see the fw-cutter | 14:40 |
| Pici | adidust: From where? | 14:40 |
| spiritssight | yates: I PM you | 14:40 |
| adidust | http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/nistnet/ | 14:40 |
| adidust | i am from malaysia | 14:40 |
| ghamdan | thanks for advise guys ..!!! It appears safe to read but not to write !! | 14:40 |
| ikonia | adidust: there are documents on that page | 14:40 |
| ikonia | adidust: use the docs on that page | 14:41 |
| valentinex | Pici: Didn't work still same error message. copy pasted and saved that document . > usershare owner only = False | 14:41 |

| adidust | that why i dunno how | 14:41 |
| adidust | i am new to linux | 14:41 |
| ikonia | adidust: open them up and read through them | 14:41 |
| ikonia | adidust: read the docs then, they seem quite solid and self explinatory | 14:41 |
| adidust | i tried | 14:41 |
| adidust | but failed | 14:41 |
| ghamdan | dooglus thanks mate | 14:41 |
| Pici | valentinex: You need to run this as well: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart | 14:41 |
| ikonia | adidust: then speak to your lecturer to get help | 14:41 |
| yates | spiritssight: i don't know how to pm! | 14:41 |
| adidust | i got installation guide but its for 6.06 | 14:42 |
| ikonia | adidust: then speak to your lecturer to get help | 14:42 |
| adidust | .... | 14:42 |
| adidust | my lecturer want result only | 14:42 |
| ikonia | adidust: thats not the goal of a lecturer | 14:42 |
| adidust | dun want help | 14:42 |
| ikonia | adidust: speak to him and explain you don't understand the basics | 14:42 |
| adidust | maybe you can try talk to him | 14:42 |
| adidust | lol | 14:42 |
| adidust | then i am so gonna fail | 14:43 |
| Pici | adidust: We're not going to do your homework for you, sorry. | 14:43 |
| adidust | ... | 14:43 |
| valentinex | Pici: still same problem and error message. do u know what that the folder i am trying to share is in FAT32 my window partition | 14:43 |
| ikonia | adidust: if your course requires linux knowledge - then you should have linux knowlege. No course would tell someone to install linux software - without any linux pre-requisits | 14:43 |
| adidust | i just wanna ask some thing | 14:43 |
| ikonia | adidust: you did - you asked how to install it | 14:44 |
| adidust | cos i am not computer course | 14:44 |
| adidust | i am engineer course | 14:44 |
| krunchyfrog | ok I installed phpwiki but can't access from http... is there any special trick to do to make it work? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | adidust: then speak to your lecturer | 14:44 |
| Fritz87 | Im making my own live ubuntu USB os, Fritzbuntu. Because there just aren't enough ubuntu distros out there | 14:44 |
| adidust | i cannot run cd /usr/src/linux | 14:44 |
| adidust | it says | 14:44 |
| ikonia | adidust: because it doesn't exist | 14:44 |
| adidust | file not found | 14:44 |
| adidust | .. | 14:44 |
| ikonia | adidust: it doesn't exist | 14:44 |
| madk | ikonia, i needed to add @LOCAL to the browsable section. this did it. i had an ip address there. but this didnt work :/ | 14:45 |
| ikonia | madk: nice job ! | 14:45 |
| Pici | valentinex: After running the sudo invoke command I suggested as well? | 14:45 |
| adidust | i go www.ict.kth.se/courses/2G1305/nistnet-under-ubuntu-20061012.html | 14:45 |
| adidust | it teaches me to type bla bla then type cd /usr/src/linux | 14:45 |
| cheeky | do i have to format or anything before installing ubuntu on a HDD tht had NTFS files system on it ,... ? coz i already deleted the partisiotn using gparted | 14:45 |
| ikonia | adidust: contact the person who wrote that document/your school | 14:46 |
| valentinex | Pici: yup it stopped samba then started again. | 14:46 |
| adidust | i am in engineering college | 14:46 |
| ikonia | adidust: contact them | 14:46 |
| adidust | nobody noes linux leh | 14:46 |
| Fritz87 | go engineering! | 14:46 |
| R_YoYo_R | adidust, /usr/src/linux doesnt exist normally on ubuntu | 14:46 |
| R_YoYo_R | adidust, you could download the kernel source | 14:46 |
| krunchyfrog | cheeky: if its for ubuntu only the installer will give a few choices and you can choose the entire disk | 14:46 |
| ikonia | R_YoYo_R: there is more to it than that | 14:47 |
| cheeky | i chose the entire disk | 14:47 |
| ikonia | R_YoYo_R: hence why we can't support that doc | 14:47 |
| cheeky | option | 14:47 |
| adidust | faint | 14:47 |
| krunchyfrog | then it will wipe the ntfs | 14:47 |
| cheeky | but do i need to like setup grub to run it properly after its been installed ? | 14:47 |
| R_YoYo_R | ikonia, does that directory exist if you grab the kernel source? | 14:47 |
| ikonia | R_YoYo_R: there is more to it than that | 14:47 |
| Fritz87 | Nobody uses linux? At my school of engineering, all engineering freshmen take intro to computing for engineers and they spend the first week doing linux before they do things like matlab and C++ | 14:47 |

| adidust | the instruction first say : 1. sudo apt-get install emacs21 i tried but it says file not found | 14:48 |
| Tengu | has someone tested/used "timevault" on ubuntu ? | 14:48 |
| ikonia | adidust: as I've told you that document is not applicable to later versions of ubuntu | 14:48 |
| jrib | valentinex, Pici: bah wrong bug. Anyway, user gets added to sambashare group but needs to login again | 14:48 |
| adidust | then my uni must be 3rd class uni | 14:48 |
| yates | is there no way to become root? you must sudo each and every command? | 14:48 |
| adidust | cos we learn C++ and matlab only | 14:48 |
| adidust | zzz | 14:48 |
| Tengu | yates: sudo passwd -> activate root account; or "sudo -i" and you become root. | 14:48 |

| Pici | jrib: ah, thanks /me makes note | 14:49 |
| Tengu | soundray: which warning? | 14:49 |

| Pici | !noroot | Tengu something like... | 14:49 |
| ubottu | Tengu something like...: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 14:49 |
| Pici | Tengu: or see !sudo | 14:49 |
| soundray | Tengu: that enabling root logins runs counter to Ubuntu's security design | 14:49 |
| Mirko | ciao | 14:50 |
| adidust | ikonia : that means if i wanna use that guide i must download back ubuntu version 6.06? | 14:50 |
| Tengu | -.- ok..... not really used to ""ubuntu security"", as I use other linux system. sorry. would know for the next time. | 14:50 |
| yates | thanks all re: sudo | 14:50 |
| soundray | Tengu: :) | 14:50 |
| ikonia | adidust: contact your lecturer and explain the situation | 14:50 |
| jrib | Pici, valentinex: personally, I had that bug and logging in again fixed it. But I've had to tell someusers to add themselves to sambashare again manually | 14:50 |

| darren__ | d_dyer: no problem | 14:52 |
| valentinex | jrib: nope ok i am going to do that | 14:52 |
| jrib | valentinex: sure, if it still doesn't work, do 'sudo adduser $USER sambashare' and then login again | 14:53 |
| adidust | ikonia : Ok. Then how do i install the emulator? | 14:53 |
| valentinex | jrib: $user? its my username? or just write the same? | 14:53 |
| ikonia | adidust: talk to your lecturer - or read the docs on that site | 14:53 |
| ikonia | adidust: you've been told what to do and how to deal with it 3 times now | 14:54 |
| jrib | valentinex: $USER (caps are important) will be replaced by your actualy username automatically, but you can just write your username too since that's the same thing | 14:54 |

| xubuntuuser | Hi2all, does anybody use orage?? it shows me the config dialog at every startup. How can i stop that? | 15:00 |
| Aethelred | adidust: also, look here: http://www.stabellini.net/nistnet.html | 15:01 |
| === Itch_ is now known as sisif | ||
| soundray | xubuntuuser: I don't know orage, but this kind of problem usually boils down to the program not being able to write its configuration files. Perhaps one of your config directories is not owned by you any more? Also consider asking in #xubuntu | 15:03 |
| xubuntuuser | soundray: if i change the configuration tese changes stay to the next reboot. | 15:05 |
| fevel | hi everyone | 15:05 |
| darren__ | hi i think its called network manager the icon that shows signel strength does any one know if there is any prefrence settings for it..it does not show my signel strength | 15:05 |
| === sean is now known as Guest28114 | ||
| === teKnofreak is now known as techno_freak | ||

| soundray | xubuntuuser: if the problem is a permissions one, as I suspect, you could fix it with 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME' | 15:07 |
| xubuntuuser | soundray: thanks, i used the command... hoping for next reboot! | 15:08 |
| soundray | xubuntuuser: logging out and in again should be enough | 15:08 |

| shank | Just installed ubuntu server on a Poweredge 2650 with broadcom net extreme card. I'm having issues, I cannot use anything network related. pinging gives me a destination unreachable.... | 15:10 |
| tobago | how to find out how many sessions are accounted on the system? and its username? | 15:10 |
| soundray | tobago: 'w' or 'who' | 15:11 |
| Pici | tobago: w | 15:11 |
| Pici | tobago: or finger | 15:11 |
| erUSUL | tobago: how many sessions are open? or how many user accounts in total the machine has? | 15:11 |
| tobago | erUSUL, how many sessions are open | 15:11 |
| erUSUL | tobago: the follow the advice of soundray or Pici ;P | 15:11 |
| edju | screenlets under kde? If so, anyone w/ a pointer? | 15:12 |
| tobago | Pici, it returns too much entries. on my machine is one session opened, but 11 entries | 15:12 |
| Pici | tobago: Do you have 11 terminals open? | 15:12 |
| erUSUL | shank: "ip a" and "ip route" output on a pastebin would be nice to have... | 15:12 |
| KDB9000 | Need some help setting up Netatalk so I can have a mac talk to my Ubuntu Laptop. | 15:12 |
| Pici | tobago: Are they all your suername? | 15:12 |
| tobago | Pici, yes | 15:12 |
| tobago | but the user is accounted only once | 15:13 |
| Pici | tobago: I dont know what you mean by accounted | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | tobago: my comp has three now X windows a two screen's "tabs" | 15:13 |
| tobago | logged in | 15:13 |
| tobago | Pici, ^^ | 15:13 |
| soundray | shank: what does 'lspci | grep Eth' give you? Please don't paste if it's more than one line. | 15:13 |
| shank | erUSUL: what is a paste bin | 15:13 |
| Pici | tobago: Each terminal 'session' counts as a separate login. | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | tobago: yes but every terminal uses one tty and counts | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | !paste | shank | 15:14 |
| ubottu | shank: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 15:14 |
| shank | soundray: one sec | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | tobago: plus the one used by X window | 15:14 |
| shank | ah shucks, i'm using a IP KVM, and I cannot copy from here I dont think, let me see | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | shank: add what soundray asked to the big paste | 15:14 |
| tobago | Pici, erUSUL so finger/ who doesn't return the number of logged in users. | 15:15 |
| Pici | tobago: No, it does exactly that. | 15:15 |
| tobago | Pici, then i misunderstand the process of logging in. | 15:15 |
| Pici | tobago: Every time you open a terminal you run another login shell, and effectively login again. 'w' shows you from where the user is logged in from, see the TTY and FROM columns. | 15:18 |
| ogzy | i need the value that i should change for gdm setup at gconftool usage, anybody have an idea? | 15:18 |
| weboide | Pici: does it mean you can only open 6 terminal ? | 15:19 |
| Kenton | Hi. I'm techy but very new to Linux. I'm trying to access files on a Windows 2000 desktop from my Linux laptop. So far I'm able to read and write files on the Windows PC from my Linux PC, but I can't create any files on the Windows PC. Samba was preinstalled on my Laptop, and I haven't made any changes to the installation. I mount the shared directories by issuing "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=... -o rw ..." command in a terminal window | 15:19 |
| soundray | ogzy: could you explain a bit more? | 15:19 |
| === Kitu is now known as moine | ||
| === Lynet_ is now known as Lynet | ||
| Pici | weboide: I dont believe there is a set number of login shells you can spawn. | 15:19 |
| weboide | Pici: there is 6 TTY started at boot time | 15:20 |
| Pici | weboide: Yes, I wasn't really referring to those though. | 15:20 |
| Lynet | Kenton: Can you create files on the share if you connect to it from a Windows pc? | 15:20 |
| weboide | Pici: okay ;) | 15:20 |
| AJC_Z0 | X terminal logins use pseudo ttys, not real or virtual ones. They are finite but large in number | 15:20 |
| shank | Guys, what you have requested are screenshots located here http://www.theshank.net/linux/1.jpg http://www.theshank.net/linux/2.jpg http://www.theshank.net/linux/3.jpg | 15:21 |
| erUSUL | weboide: that's the numbr o getty processes that are run by default on boot... | 15:21 |
| ogzy | soundray, sure, i used python gconf binding to set up my icon set from terminal, now i want to the the similar thing for a new gdm theme set up so that i will change the defaut gdm theme, so if you know gconftool it sets some values for such things, do you know the value for gdm? | 15:21 |
| Pici | AJC_Z0: Large enough to not have to worry about the limit ;) | 15:21 |
| weboide | AJC_Z0: oh ok | 15:21 |
| Kenton | Lynet: Yes. Windows to Windows works fine. | 15:21 |
| AJC_Z0 | Usually a subshell, as opposed to a login shell, is started when you open an X terminal | 15:21 |
| shank | Let me know if there's any other information you need some my server | 15:22 |
| AJC_Z0 | This means that your shell profile or login script is not run, only your rc script. See your shell's page in the manual | 15:22 |
| weboide | erUSUL: AJC_Z0: is there any reason to have 6 TTY started ? for remote login maybe ? | 15:22 |
| soundray | ogzy: I see. gdm isn't configured through gconf -- it's got its own setup tool (gdmsetup) and config files (/etc/gdm/) | 15:22 |
| Pici | weboide: Because not everyone uses XWindows, and some people like the option to fall back to these. | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | weboide: those are for virtual terminals (Crtl + Alt + F1-6) | 15:22 |
| weboide | got it : ) | 15:23 |
| soundray | ogzy: generally, you can find out the names of gconf keys by running gconf-editor and searching for strings with Ctrl-F | 15:23 |
| AJC_Z0 | weboide: Those are virtual consoles. You should be able to ctrl-alt-F1 to 6 or 7 to switch between them, with another for X | 15:23 |
| ogzy | soundray, i want to do everything without a gui, let me check /etc/gdm file | 15:23 |
| Lynet | Kenton: Hmm. My guess would be either wrong file rights on the mount point or wrong/different username/pw when connecting to the share. | 15:23 |
| weboide | Pici: AJC_Z0: i tried those, but i don't know the key to press to go back to X : ( | 15:23 |
| Pici | weboide: ctrl+alt+f7 | 15:24 |
| weboide | Pici: thanks : ) | 15:24 |
| AJC_Z0 | weboide: keep trying increasing F keys. The last one which works will be your X session | 15:24 |
| AJC_Z0 | F7 probably | 15:24 |
| weboide | i understand better now, thanks guys! | 15:24 |

| dooglus | alex-weej: "need to download 15MB - 47MB extra disk space will be used" - yes, it's all mono stuff | 16:07 |
| soundray | uro1: is the flashplugin listed when you type in 'about:plugins' as the URL in firefox? | 16:07 |
| alex-weej | dooglus: up to you. | 16:07 |
| dooglus | alex-weej: are there any non-mono alternatives? | 16:07 |
| alex-weej | dooglus: not that i know of that are as good. what difference does it make? | 16:08 |
| popey | dooglus: in all likelyhood you already have microsoft patented stuff on your machine but you dont know it | 16:08 |
| soundray | dooglus: if you are the least bit worried about patents, don't even think of playing mp3 and m4v stuff | 16:08 |

| Kain89 | hello @ all | 16:08 |
| int86 | alex-weej: then whats the use for lost+found dirctory, my all etc and var directory went in lostfound after a fsck | 16:08 |
| remoteCTR1 | soundray: umm that gives me errors | 16:09 |
| alex-weej | int86: when fsck scans your disk it finds files that are orphaned (don't have a directory entry) | 16:09 |
| soundray | remoteCTR1: do you want to pastebin them for me to see? | 16:09 |
| popey | dooglus: fact is you have no idea what microsoft hold patents on, just that they _do_ hold patents on _some_ bits of mono | 16:09 |
| alex-weej | int86: it will place them in lost+found so you can decide what to do with them. | 16:09 |
| dooglus | popey: it seems like a waste of energy to work on mono apps when MS can easily kill the projects | 16:09 |
| remoteCTR1 | soundray: did you just take that out of some perl script or something? cos those ; inbetween dont seem right to me for console... | 16:09 |
| popey | dooglus: take the fud elsewhere please | 16:10 |
| alex-weej | dooglus: no more easily than MPEG patent holders can kill ffmpeg etc. | 16:10 |
| alex-weej | and a large proportion of the world is free | 16:10 |

| atlantis | can wine for 64bit run photoshop (32 bit) | 16:50 |
| scotelaro | bot | 16:50 |
| elzoog | anon: Yes, it sounds bad on pretty much everything. | 16:50 |
| elzoog | anon: Even if I turn down the PCM volume | 16:51 |
| anon32 | rich_, if you are using a MPlayer version provided in the repositories, you should delete it. All multi-media software in *buntu is horribly crippled. | 16:51 |
| anon32 | elzoog, sounds like a problem with the driver then. | 16:51 |
| scotelaro | Thank you | 16:51 |
| N0_Named_Guy | hello ppl :) | 16:51 |
| firb | thank you | 16:51 |
| elzoog | anon: Apperently, it's a Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver | 16:51 |
| soundray | atlantis: the wine that comes packaged with Ubuntu 64bit emulates 32bit Windows, so it should be fine in principle. For Photoshop compatibility, see the winehq site | 16:51 |
| anon32 | rich_, instead, you should download the sources for MPlayer and build it by hand. | 16:51 |
| N0_Named_Guy | anon32: did you checked medibuntu out? | 16:51 |
| soundray | !wine | atlantis | 16:51 |
| ubottu | atlantis: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 16:51 |

| soundray | sysop1972: I don't know how well it will work if you create a mountpoint under a shared directory -- can't see a reason why it wouldn't, but I haven't tried. For sanity, I would move the main shared folder data to the new drive, then make the mountpoint of the new drive the new main shared directory. | 16:58 |

| krunchyfrog | lore20: never used that.. | 17:41 |
| lore20 | krunchyfrog: so.. first at all u need to set up a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server | 17:42 |
| lore20 | !lamp | krunchyfrog | 17:42 |
| ubottu | krunchyfrog: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 17:42 |
| krunchyfrog | oooook well I already got apache and mysql and php setup | 17:42 |

| sysop1972 | I have one question about mountpoints.. is the mountpoint for a secondary hard drive the equivalent of going to d: drive in windows? Does this mean that it is where I need to go to in order to locate the drive? | 17:45 |
| BitWraith | sysop1972, essentially, yes | 17:46 |
| BitWraith | it's typed a little differently, but it still gets you to the drive's files... same thing. | 17:46 |

| v6F3hY-Ufml | apache doesn't seem to actually start, or it may start and stop very quickly, but it doesn't report any errors while starting via the normal start command, and this started happening a few days ago, before which it was working fine | 18:15 |

| omar_ | Polarina, your question was ? | 18:15 |

| mib_5xjl22 | hello there! sorry to bother you all, I'm kinda ignorant when it comes to this, I just installed Ubuntu but unfortunately it doesn't detect the network card (which is even beeping and was working before)... any easy way to solve this ?! | 18:23 |
| steveire | aRahim: It's not for me. I have to send an email to a friend on how to do it, but he's not online now for me to talk him through it | 18:23 |
| sysop1972 | soundray: something is starting to open now.. | 18:23 |
| outbackwifi | v6F3hY-Ufm: I mean, locate the httpd binary and spawn it using this command | 18:23 |
| sysop1972 | soundray: not sure whats with the lag.. | 18:23 |
| outbackwifi | v6F3hY-Ufm: which httpd | 18:23 |
| aRahim | its just a 3 step guide really | 18:23 |
| soundray | sysop1972: did you type sudo or gksudo? | 18:23 |
| outbackwifi | v6F3hY-Ufm: should tell you the location of httpd | 18:23 |
| aRahim | stevie just choose a nick from the chat client and enter the commands | 18:24 |
| steveire | soundray: The last time I opened xchat, I was confronted with a modal dialog, I had to choose a server and I had to choose a channel. That's fine for me, but he won't have a clue. Are you saying it's different noew? | 18:24 |
| sysop1972 | soundray: hmmm not sure if it is going to work... its all gray. | 18:24 |
| v6F3hY-Ufml | outback wifi: doesn't say nothin? I guess that means it has disappeared (or uninstalled) somehow? | 18:24 |
| steveire | aRahim: It's not for me. I'm here already :) | 18:24 |
| soundray | steveire: I can't speak about xchat. xchat-gnome is a different program, and it comes preconfigured as I said. | 18:24 |
| outbackwifi | v6F3hY-Ufm: youve hit the nail on the head | 18:24 |

| dooglus | soundray: I guess M-# will do that in any program which uses readline for its input | 18:37 |
| * outbackwifi thinks polarina could use his fridge for beer and not lion batteries | 18:37 | |

| Polarina | outbackwifi: Wikipedia recommended it, and to have the battery charged at 40% before storing. | 18:38 |

| soundray | dooglus: 21.3.1 on a remote feisty machine | 18:48 |
| dooglus | soundray: oh, I see - because it's remote and you don't want to do X forwarding | 18:48 |
| dooglus | soundray: I run a gtk emacs locally, and use TRAMP to edit remote files | 18:48 |
| dooglus | soundray: but that's not efficient if the remote files are huge | 18:49 |
| soundray | dooglus: I could do X forwarding, but I like the fact that with GNU screen, I can start editing something at work and can pick up exactly where I was from home | 18:49 |
| bobertdos | dooglus: Okay, good, all I wanted to know, thanks! | 18:49 |
| * Polarina uses laptops for servers. | 18:50 | |
| dooglus | soundray: does the problem with cursor positioning only happen once you've moved your screen from work to home? could it be the changing size of the screen that's messing things up? | 18:50 |
| * outbackwifi thinks polarina has considerate customers | 18:51 | |
| soundray | JayDee: one way to narrow down the problem a bit would be to use a gutsy live CD and a hardy one for a while, to see if and when the problem occurs and whether it is perhaps limited to your harddisk installation | 18:51 |
| mik3 | hi, when my machine boots the splash screen is off by half. when i log in ubuntu automagically corrects it and aligned my resolution properly. how can I fix the original problem? I tried redoing my dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to see if maybe its defualt settings got changed somewhere but that did not work. | 18:51 |
| JayDee | soundray: This is actually a office deployment of Ubuntu. We upgraded all the systems and i've only had issues with this one. | 18:52 |
| outbackwifi | mik3: which splash screen? | 18:52 |
| mik3 | outbackwifi: the log on screen | 18:52 |
| soundray | dooglus: it could well be. I notice a problem with 'ls' column output as well, but mutt and other programs are fine | 18:52 |
| outbackwifi | mik3: gdm? | 18:52 |
| JayDee | soundray: it does have a radeon x1300 card, all the rest have intel or nvidia. | 18:52 |

| mik3 | outbackwifi: yeah gdm | 18:52 |
| soundray | JayDee: tried switching from ati to fglrx or vice versa? | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | mik3: arent they two different things? the boot progress screen has got nothing to do with X | 18:53 |
| JayDee | soundray: also, I don't think it would be ram, because all the apps crash the same way. blank windows without the UI elements. or.. stop responding (ie stop drawing the UI elements) | 18:53 |
| JayDee | soundray: I did move it from vesa, that it was on to fglrx. | 18:53 |

| soundray | dooglus: I get a pound symbol on the left of the status line now, but S-3 seems to be bound to backward-word | 19:10 |

| yusuf_ | close | 21:14 |
| jvargas | anyone had this problem? | 21:14 |
| jrib | bulgaristan: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying | 21:15 |
| yates | bobertdos: does ubuntu use the /sbin/chkconfig and /sbin/service mechnism for services, like the sshd ssh daemon? | 21:15 |
| bulgaristan | but i think i`m a little of bit a lamer | 21:15 |
| bulgaristan | mand i have allot of bug they are | 21:15 |
| cheeky | iam sooexhausted | 21:15 |
| bobertdos | yates: I'm not sure, I'd assume so. | 21:15 |
| krauss | Bobertdos: Yep, 9. | 21:15 |
| unop | yates, no .. debian/ubuntu uses update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d for chkconfig and service respectively | 21:15 |
| timo | hi dose open office have an irc channel ? | 21:15 |
| bulgaristan | lol | 21:15 |
| bobertdos | jvargas: This is a known bug. I know it's getting fixed for the next release. In the meantime, there is a workaround. | 21:16 |
| jrib | !openoffice | timo | 21:16 |
| ubottu | timo: a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org | 21:16 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: tell me | 21:16 |
| dooglus | timo: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/IRC_Communication | 21:16 |
| timo | thank you | 21:16 |
| yates | bulgaristan: i just installed ubuntu yesterday for the first time after using fedora for 3 years and out of the box it's 10 times better. | 21:16 |
| felix-da-catz | in dmesg I am getting b43-phy0 ERROR: You must to go http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version 4). However whenever I try to download and install the b43-fwcutter it does not make for me. | 21:16 |
| bulgaristan | =) | 21:16 |
| bulgaristan | yea | 21:16 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: with youtube it works ok, but in a page with jw media player it crashes | 21:16 |
| dooglus | timo: specifically: #Openoffice.org Users and generic channel, please use this for questions related to OOo usage | 21:16 |
| bulgaristan | but i have a simple bug | 21:16 |
| bulgaristan | like my player | 21:16 |
| bulgaristan | i`m from bulgaria | 21:16 |
| FloodBot1 | bulgaristan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:16 |
| bulgaristan | and have a unicode problems i dont know why | 21:17 |
| bulgaristan | see | 21:17 |
| jrib | bulgaristan: stop pressing enter | 21:17 |
| yates | unop: thanks | 21:17 |
| bobertdos | krauss: Do you have libflashsupport installed? I find for some people that disabling compiz (Visual Effects set to None) helps. | 21:17 |
| bulgaristan | srr | 21:17 |
| jrib | !bg > bulgaristan | 21:17 |
| ubottu | bulgaristan, please see my private message | 21:17 |
| bulgaristan | wow srr | 21:18 |
| krauss | Bobertdos: I don't think so. I used the Adobe site's instructions. And how is that done? | 21:18 |
| unop | yates, though if you want the service command, the debian-helper-scripts package offers one | 21:18 |
| bobertdos | jvargas: Open a terminal. Type sudo mkdir /etc/adobe | 21:18 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: done | 21:19 |
| timo | jvargas: ls /etc/adobe | 21:19 |
| sarthor | HI. i install gyachi.deb with default pakage manager in GUI, No i want to remove that, but i want to clear all the directories, settings, that made, how can i do that??? | 21:19 |
| jvargas | timo: nothing, just created it | 21:20 |
| jrib | sarthor: sudo apt-get purge PACKAGE | 21:20 |
| timo | ahhh ? | 21:20 |
| sarthor | jrib, thank you | 21:20 |
| timo | it should be created | 21:20 |
| bobertdos | jvargas: Get into that directory. Then, type: gksudo gedit mms.cfg | 21:20 |
| up_the_irons | can someone point me to a doc that explains how codepages work? I learned all about locale yesterday, and got UTF-8 working in rxvt-unicode, but inside mutt, people who send me stuff from Windows and CP1252 charset, doesn't show up correctly. I'm wondering what I'm missing. | 21:20 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: what to put in | 21:20 |
| bobertdos | timo: No, that directory doesn't exist unless you create it yourself. | 21:21 |
| _paneb | how can i 'cd' to CIFS mounts? when i open them with nautilus they are mounted on the desktop, but i cannot cd to them | 21:21 |
| timo | ahh | 21:21 |
| bobertdos | jvargas: WindowlessDisable=true, then save the file and restart firefox. | 21:22 |
| laptop | Where can I see the list of KDE themes? | 21:22 |
| unop | _paneb, you'll have to mount the shares using mount.cifs | 21:22 |
| laptop | I want to enhance visual appearance of my desktop | 21:22 |
| bobertdos | jvargas: You'll notice that the old drop-down menu problem comes back, but at least the crashes go away. | 21:22 |
| krauss | Bobertdos: How do you disable the Visuals? | 21:22 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: thanks! | 21:23 |
| bobertdos | krauss: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects, set to None. | 21:23 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: yeah, drop down menu is under the video screen. but it works. | 21:23 |
| krauss | Bobertdos: Thanks man | 21:23 |
| billybigrigger | if mysql is installed is it safe to leave the any user no password with usage privilages or can i delete the 3 entries? | 21:23 |

| timo | copy* paste* | 21:24 |
| jvargas | bobertdos: i hoped flash player 10 solved that problem as said in new features list. | 21:24 |
| krauss | Bobertdos: Appearances not in the menu man. | 21:24 |

| bobertdos | krauss: Well, that shouldn't mean anything ;) Do you have high speed internet and a disc burner? | 21:31 |
| sarthor | dep is it safe to use? | 21:31 |
| SirBijan | inside ubuntu, I write: mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda2 /media/ttt | 21:31 |
| SirBijan | and it works fine, the only thing is that it only mounts the root partition of my freebsd slice | 21:32 |
| krauss | bobertdos: I sure do | 21:32 |
| dep | sarthor: it appears to be a user generated shell script (looking at it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790) I have no idea if it is safe, from a quick glance over it it looks fine to use | 21:32 |

| zetheroo | dep: well i went ahead and reset it | 21:47 |
| jrib | blue112: yes, using ACLs. You can do the group thing by setting setguid on the directory, but you can't do anything about a umask just for that directory | 21:47 |

| blue112 | jrib: And how can I know a group id with it name ? | 21:49 |
| redvamp128 | you have to tell it where the file is | 21:50 |
| redvamp128 | by partition number | 21:50 |
| redvamp128 | I can show you the line I added and you can go from there | 21:50 |
| _Zeus_ | redvamp128: as in /dev/sdxn? | 21:50 |
| _Zeus_ | redvamp128: please show it | 21:50 |
| redvamp128 | my new swap is on 2cnd hard drive partition 3 | 21:50 |
| redvamp128 | so yours may be different | 21:50 |
| _Zeus_ | redvamp128: then it should be /dev/sdb2 | 21:50 |

| blue112 | jrib: Can I change partition settings without reboot computer ? I can't reboot it... | 21:51 |
| jrib | nloding: there's a hash in /etc/shadow why? | 21:51 |
| _Zeus_ | nloding: why? | 21:51 |
| jrib | blue112: you can just remount | 21:51 |
| erUSUL | nloding: what info? the password? | 21:51 |
| blue112 | (i've added it to /etc/fstab) | 21:51 |
| _Zeus_ | nloding: you can't just read the password | 21:52 |
| _Zeus_ | it's encrypted | 21:52 |
| nloding | i know i can't just read it | 21:52 |
| blue112 | jrib: I can do it on / ? | 21:52 |
| bernrdo | @Zeus: yeah .. well ... under Device, I didn't even have an entry for Driver. I added "vesa" and it's loading X now - seems to work. Will keep up to date. Thx! | 21:52 |
| jrib | blue112: I believe so | 21:52 |
| _Zeus_ | bernrdo: cool | 21:52 |
| blue112 | jrib: Can you tell me how can I do it ? | 21:52 |
| Uranellus | hello, I want to enable remote syslog, for that there is the -r option for syslog .. but how can I make syslog only listen on a specific interface/ip ? | 21:52 |
| nloding | say i have two identical systems with ubutnu hardy heron; if i reset the pwd on one, and copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files to the other, will that reset it password too? | 21:52 |
| bernrdo | yup, works - thx a ton :) | 21:52 |
| _Zeus_ | nloding: .... i doubt it | 21:52 |
| _Zeus_ | i don't think so | 21:53 |
| _Zeus_ | nloding: why not just boot to recovery mode and reset it??? | 21:53 |
| nloding | it worked in freebsd and openbsd | 21:53 |
| _Zeus_ | you don't need to input the password when booting to recovery mode | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | nloding: just reset it by hand ... carfully i might add | 21:53 |
| nloding | lets say i have 100 units and need to reset them all | 21:53 |
| nloding | and i want a shortcut :) | 21:53 |
| _Zeus_ | nloding: do you know the root password? | 21:54 |
| nloding | when they were freebsd, i copied master.passwd, pwd.db, spwd.db, and psswd and it reset the units | 21:54 |
| nloding | yes | 21:54 |
| _Zeus_ | oh, then that should work i guess | 21:54 |
| _Zeus_ | i thought you forgot it | 21:54 |

| bytor4232 | I have two wireless networks I need to configure at two office yesterday for this laptop I'm on. Is there any way to pre-configure network manager before I get on site? | 21:54 |
| rampageoberon | nloding: you can do an automated script to do them from plain text file i suppose | 21:54 |
| jrib | blue112: use -o remount not sure if you also need to include all the options there. Try | 21:54 |
| definitely | yasumoto: Xubuntu also uses the same ones ? | 21:54 |
| nloding | i'm not that familiar with unix security, so i don't know if freebsd operates the same ... | 21:54 |
| _Zeus_ | yes | 21:54 |
| Yasumoto | definitely: yeah, it's all in /etc/apt/sourcs.list | 21:54 |
| nloding | Aplpha232: i would be using scp to copy the files ...... ? | 21:55 |
| erUSUL | nloding: well if the machines are clones (all software installed is the same) may work the problem is /etc/shadow may differ from machine to machine depending on software installed and users | 21:55 |
| Yasumoto | definitely: the differences between x/k/ubuntu are just the graphical desktop environment | 21:55 |
| nloding | hardware may be different, but users/software is identical | 21:55 |
| guntbert | nloding: yes, if the machines have the same accounts, copying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow should do the trick | 21:55 |

| ubottu | Yamakiri: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:02 |

| nickrud | erUSUL, ooh, that's a good program, I hate doing acls by hand | 22:03 |
| erUSUL | blue112: what you want/need is setgid | 22:04 |
| erUSUL | blue112: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid | 22:05 |
| erUSUL | blue112: i quote "Setting the setgid permission on a directory (chmod g+s) causes new files and subdirectories created within it to inherit its groupID," | 22:05 |

| blue112 | erUSUL: That's exactly what I want. But what about rights (w) ? | 22:06 |
| erUSUL | blue112: so "sudo chmod g+s writte" is all you need if i understand your requirements | 22:06 |
| _Zeus_ | you mean write, not writte | 22:06 |
| jrib | erUSUL: he needs write permissions for the group | 22:06 |

| Dorothy_Gale | hi all, my CD won't work under Xubuntu... same CD-ROM I installed it on | 22:08 |
| _Zeus_ | Dorothy_Gale: what do you mean? | 22:09 |
| _Zeus_ | do other cds work? | 22:09 |
| jadams_ | when I create a new file, it's being created with me as the owner, but root as the group | 22:10 |
| nickrud | blue112, sticky bit means any file saved there will have the same group ownership as the containing directory does | 22:10 |
| timo | jadams_: make sure the groups are right | 22:10 |
| timo | jadams_: some times the groups can be two that fine | 22:10 |
| blue112 | nickrud: So I don't need any setgid ? | 22:10 |
| Dorothy_Gale | _Zeus_, this is the first time I have tried to play an audio CD | 22:11 |
| erUSUL | blue112: dhooo i quote again "The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on UNIX and GNU/Linux systems" :( trying here does indeed not work as spected | 22:12 |
| nickrud | blue112, setguid is useful, if both people are in that group. However, by default ubuntu only gives the owner write permissions. If you want both to have write, you'll need to change their umasks or use acls | 22:12 |
| blue112 | nickrud: I'm trying to use acl... | 22:12 |
| nickrud | blue112, bhwwwaaahhhh, acls are from the devil. I've set them up a few times, but each time it's been the devil of a time | 22:13 |

| jadams_ | I've got a webdav share, and files that users make keep getting pushed to lost+found. Anyone seen this before? | 22:19 |
| Drk_Guy | strategy, the kernel is the core, w/o it can't do anything | 22:19 |
| livingdaylight | ok, I've added a second Sata hard drive to my computer but i don't know how to reach it and format it | 22:20 |
| danielm_mc_ | jadams check your svn config (?) | 22:20 |
| strategy | Drk_Guy, thats what i thought. Moushira said it booted up and told her the kernel is missing !? | 22:20 |
| nickrud | livingdaylight, install gparted and use that | 22:20 |
| Drk_Guy | strategy, but, if you don't want to reinstall, you can repair ubuntu the gentoo way | 22:20 |

| adam_ | my amsn don' t want to conncect? sombody has anny idea? | 22:30 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: wow nice picture. what did you do to virtualbox? | 22:30 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | __jaschon__, Yes, I know that was a known issue with me as well... Apparently, Glipper expects one of the other programs to be started by the time it is started but infact errors out | 22:30 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: it booted fine first time but I changed the resolution and every boot looks like that... | 22:31 |
| __jaschon__ | Glipper ran fine when i was using Mint | 22:31 |
| d_dyer | hey i have a problem,when i try to update i get this "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." Is There a way i can correct this via Terminal? | 22:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: which version of virtualbox? | 22:31 |
| jrib | d_dyer: run: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 22:31 |
| d_dyer | ok thanks | 22:31 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: it seems to be a xubuntu issue not vb | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | d_dyer: you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." <<<< fairly obvious no? | 22:31 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: 2 | 22:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: yes I was also wondering what distro you were on | 22:31 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | __jaschon__, Well, it has always given me the error on startup when gnome asks whether to remove or keep this panel applet. The trick I used was to make Glipper sleep for about 8 seconds before loading | 22:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: since this is the Ubuntu channel and by the sounds of it you got an xubuntu channel try #xubuntu for help with that | 22:32 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: xubuntu is the guest - with the issue | 22:32 |
| Joeseph | Why is there no attempt to upgrade from the 1913 defentions from the webster dictionary? | 22:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: what's the host? | 22:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: also you can try #vbox | 22:32 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: deader than a really dead thing there | 22:32 |
| __jaschon__ | FreshUbuntuNoob, how do you make Glipper sleep for 8 sec? | 22:32 |
| d_dyer | Thanks Guys :) | 22:32 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: ubuntu minimal | 22:32 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | __jaschon__, Hold on, let me find the relevant comment on launchpad | 22:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: try #vbox since it's not really an Ubuntu issue it seems | 22:33 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: vbox won't help - xubuntu freaked at the resolution change | 22:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: what's the host OS? | 22:33 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | __jaschon__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+bug/213494 <= you can read up on it here... and the solution is to manually add a few lines of code in glipper... pretty easy and straightforward | 22:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 213494 in glipper "[Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting" [Undecided,New] | 22:34 |

| Joeseph | dict word works. All the definitions are from the 1913 webster dictionary... why is this? | 22:38 |
| jrib | SebNaitsabes: bah, ignore me, wrong nick | 22:38 |
| KRF | Spherous, something like that i guess. i'm not sure, though | 22:38 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | __jaschon__, No problem | 22:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: ok delete that VM properly from .vbox hidden folder in home | 22:39 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: nope - I'm going to fix xubuntu | 22:39 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Joeseph, I believe they have to do with copyrights. Essentially, copyrights are not valid anymore after 100 yeas (I think so) | 22:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: then re install it, if still problems, I have another idea :) | 22:39 |
| cgrapski | I've tried all the documentation and forums and still cannot find the solution. For example going through the doc it says look for an .inf file - and I don't seem to have one. | 22:39 |
| Spherous | KRF: I already tried that too, I tried burning them to a disc and doing that, but I'm getting Error: -1603 fatal error occurred during installation | 22:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: acstaully leave your Xubuntu the one that isan't working properly and try my other idea now :) | 22:40 |
| Joeseph | 2008 - 1913 is less than 100 years. Maybe they released the copyright? Surely there's another open source dictionary out there.... | 22:40 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: all I did was run displayconfig-gtk and select my monitor and its' native resolution | 22:40 |
| adam_ | why my amsn do not want to connect anyway, anyone no | 22:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: did you know that you can run VMware virtual disk in virtualbox. and you can actsaully download loads of already made one for loads of operating systems and so on. I am pretty sure there is an already made for Xubuntu | 22:41 |
| jrib | adam_: pastebin 'apt-cache policy amsn' | 22:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: and you don't have to mess around with a vmware vmx file when doing it in Virtualbox | 22:41 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Joeseph, From wikipedia: The dictionary's 1913 edition of the 1900 International, renamed Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, has in modern times been used in various free online resources, as its copyright lapsed and it became public domain. | 22:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: now it will be interesting to see if one of those works for Xubuntu in your virtualbox or not | 22:41 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: defeats the purpose I got vb for... | 22:42 |
| Joeseph | FreshUbuntuNoob: Thanks. I shoulda known to wiki. | 22:42 |
| carrera | would installing libcurl and libcurl-dev solve this configure: error: Please reinstall the libcurl distribution - | 22:42 |

| SebNaitsabes | favro: you may find it's an Xubuntu issue with your set up. | 22:42 |
| jrib | carrera: what are you compiling? | 22:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: what did you get it for? | 22:42 |
| carrera | jrib, php | 22:42 |
| Joeseph | FreshUbuntuNoob: yup. It and google know the ultimate answer too. | 22:43 |
| carrera | jrib, I've already added libxml2-dev | 22:43 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: I changed a setting - and I want to change it back is essentially where I'm at | 22:43 |
| jrib | carrera: php is in the repositories, why aren't you using the packages from there? | 22:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: which setting? | 22:43 |
| favro | <favro> SebNaitsabes: all I did was run displayconfig-gtk and select my monitor and its' native resolution | 22:43 |
| carrera | jrib, for one I like installing everything under /usr/local | 22:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | favro: you can change loads of Virtualbox settings in the program yes | 22:44 |
| favro | SebNaitsabes: thnx - it is not vb issue | 22:44 |

| knoppix | Hmm... | 22:45 |
| knoppix | Point | 22:45 |
| jrib | carrera: erm, why not use LFS then... I think that's a terrible reason. You don't get automatic security updates for something like php this way. Anyway, 'sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGE' will get you the build dependencies for PACKAGE if you choose to ignore my warnings | 22:45 |
| knoppix | I'm just thinking of having a list of everything transferred to a new partition. | 22:46 |

| MarBert | oh yes Knoppis give me a moment | 22:46 |
| knoppix | Where is the list of installed packages kept? | 22:46 |
| MarBert | i'll give you the command | 22:46 |
| carrera | thanks jrib | 22:46 |
| ozzloy | i just installed soap4r and wsdl2ruby isn't available. how do i get it? | 22:46 |
| MarBert | sudo dpkg --get-selections > installed-software.log | 22:47 |
| MarBert | You'll get in home a file named installed-software.log | 22:48 |
| favro | !clone | knoppix | 22:48 |
| ubottu | knoppix: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 22:48 |

| dan1234562k8 | rythmbox ftw | 23:17 |
| microlins | hi | 23:18 |
| carandraug | carandraug: no. Just that the place where icons appear (like pidgin, xchat, music, etc..) is called notification area. And many people removef it and then don't know what they have to add back to the panel to get it back | 23:18 |
| mgeorge | g'day folks :) | 23:18 |
| jrib | extor: the man page usually has examples. I remember that gnome-osd looked better | 23:18 |
| mgeorge | damn there is a shitload of people in here >.< | 23:19 |

| Unipz | There is a pretty serious bug in the installer | 23:34 |
| c01100011 | Mine locked up in a different place each time. But the 2 times (don't ask why i needed to reinstall) I got it to work, i was playing around in another terminal sesssion while it loaded | 23:34 |
| balrog | Unipz: ? | 23:34 |
| c01100011 | i don't know if that was dumb luck , or it helped | 23:34 |
| balrog | should i install virtualbox from the repos or from the .deb on the website? | 23:34 |
| maxagaz | what cli command to listen a directory of mp3 ? | 23:34 |
| Unipz | If you install ubuntu onto hd(1,0) the installer sets up the grub.conf (or whatever loader ubuntu uses im not sure) to load from hd(0,0) regardless of where you installed ubuntu to | 23:35 |
| c01100011 | and when it did freeze, it was because of a problem accessing the squishfs | 23:35 |
| Unipz | had to manually modify the launcher | 23:35 |
| ak-49 | What is the difference between the ubuntu dvd versus the iso (besides the obvious difference in size) | 23:35 |

| lgc | Hi. What's inside the Ubuntu-in-Windows install option on the 8.04 disk? What kind of VM? | 23:35 |
| reportingsjr | Hazarath, when I installed mine always froze up on the partition part, try a few more times, if that fails get a new disk and try that, if THAT fails ask in here again. :p | 23:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ak-49 the dvd includes the "Main" repo | 23:36 |

| ak-49 | thanks, jack_sparrow. | 23:37 |
| c01100011 | Hazarath, switch to terminal 1 when it freezes, and see if it having trouble reading squishfs | 23:37 |
