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 |

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 |
mrNotYou | Kidfork: You can set the resolution you want. | 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 |

usser | mykhi, what is sid? | 00:27 |
mykhi | unstable | 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 |

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 |
byte- | it seems like a pretty standard install besides the fact that it's inside vmware | 00:31 |
byte- | any ideas on what's going on? | 00:31 |
grendal_prime | is there a front end for shred? | 00:31 |

KiDFlaSh | who use compiz? | 00:31 |
Jordan_U | byte-: Can you pastebin the output from "apt-cache policy upstart" ? | 00:31 |
perillux | is there any way to make audacity record at a lower volume. Or to make it sort of "auto-level" so that it doesn't go too high and then get clipped making poor sound quality | 00:31 |
axeus | Hmm, I suppose I need to get a separate application to manage the settings of Compiz because I dont' see any type of configuration for that in X. | 00:32 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Steven2 | Hi! | 02:47 |
ethana2 | the OmniVision OV2640 in my new Ubuntu Dell is supposed to support a 2MP resolution at 15 FPS | 02:47 |
puff | spiritssight: Hm, does "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" give you results? | 02:47 |

ethana2 | coolpet: what errors does X give you? | 02:48 |
phixxor | pie-rate: the wireless documentation contains such a list, I don't know offhand | 02:48 |

ethana2 | Red-Sox: i dunno, not sure which one the 945GM is... | 02:52 |

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 |

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 |
Pie-rate | phixxor: i don't trust this list because it says the one she already bought and couldn't get to work, 'Works "out of the box"' | 03:00 |
cheeky | alternate cd the text based one? | 03:00 |
Flannel | cheeky: yes. | 03:00 |
cheeky | is it harder? | 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 |

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 |
corunum | I don't even know what a framebuffer is :( | 03:26 |
N0_Named_Guy | corunum: LOL | 03:26 |
anom01y | hi I recently had to run a command "modprobe ivtv", do I have to do this every time I boot ? | 03:26 |
icedwater | Brb! | 03:26 |
Till10185 | or the usb or card lan connection not detecting it form far away | 03:26 |
kindofabuzz | corunum, set the vga=791 in defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.list | 03:26 |
Till10185 | from | 03:26 |
N0_Named_Guy | corunum: it is like the graphical mode in DOS :P | 03:26 |
corunum | I shouldn't be messing with this stuff yet, is there anyway to get my original boot screen on again? | 03:26 |
N0_Named_Guy | corunum: how did it disappeared in first place? :P | 03:27 |
corunum | I tried putting a new one, and now neither show. | 03:27 |
anom01y | how do I set up automodprobe ? | 03:27 |
corunum | I wouldn't mind the text in the boot, but there are alot of "failed to" in there lol | 03:27 |
Till10185 | im going to ask one more time cant find any info any where about this bug but whenever i try to join a room in pidgin it shuts me off and i have to restart it and it just started recently | 03:27 |
Vermux_ | ok, I need help mounting the windows partition , I booted using kubuntu live cd | 03:27 |
arnell | How complicated is it to install a graphics driver for ATI 2900 XT? | 03:27 |
N0_Named_Guy | corunum: did you follow the tutorial to the end? | 03:28 |
kindofabuzz | !envy | arnell | 03:28 |
ubottu | arnell: 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 | 03:28 |
N0_Named_Guy | sorry people | 03:28 |
N0_Named_Guy | gotta go! | 03:28 |

corunum | kindofabuzz: I already did the vga=791 thing, can you tell me if its correct? | 03:31 |
ethana2 | it's 'sleep 2' | 03:31 |
anom01y | sleep | 03:31 |

ethana2 | yep | 03:31 |
ethana2 | finally, a command that's spelled right | 03:31 |
MellowYellow | Ubuntu is not detecting my ethernet connection. Wifi works great, but I want the extra speed of a wired connection. Anyone know where to start on fixing this? | 03:32 |
cgrapski | Can anyone help. I tried intalling with WUBU and get the option between XP and Ubuntu. But when I choose Ubuntu I just come back to that screen. | 03:32 |
SchmittyDoesIt | where is the config for irssi | 03:32 |
SchmittyDoesIt | ircssi | 03:32 |
bolito_ | join #ubuntu-es | 03:33 |

SchmittyDoesIt | thanx Gnea | 03:33 |
bolito_ | #ubuntu-es | 03:33 |
Gnea | bolito_: /join #ubuntu-es | 03:33 |
cgrapski | I meant that I get that screen upon boot. And come back (without booting ubuntu) to that screen when choosing ubuntu. Booting XP works fine. | 03:34 |
Gnea | MellowYellow: plug a cable in | 03:34 |
MellowYellow | Gnea, LOL, yea did that | 03:34 |
Gnea | MellowYellow: what is your network setup like, physically? | 03:35 |
Red-Sox | Sometimes, when I try to view a YouTube video or other flash content in Firefox, it freezes for a few seconds and then starts playing a little into the video. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this hiccup? | 03:35 |
joshuajtl | hey folks anyone know where rhythmbox icons (arrows, play pause etc) are located? | 03:35 |
kindofabuzz | Red-Sox, try flash 10 | 03:35 |
spiritssight | is it still a bad idea to flash with DD-wrt using FF | 03:35 |
Gnea | !wubi | cgrapski | 03:35 |
ubottu | cgrapski: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 03:35 |
MellowYellow | cable modem -> router -> laptop | 03:35 |
Gnea | cgrapski: check that first URL | 03:35 |
Red-Sox | kindofabuzz: Do I need to compile that or is it in the repos? | 03:35 |
smm289 | my laptop runs ubuntu 8.04, my file server runs ubuntu 8.04. Samba is running fine on the server. While using my laptop I click on places, network, but the ubuntu server does not show up. I can access it by smb://server289. why wont it just show up in the network browse | 03:35 |
Gnea | MellowYellow: is the router a hybrid wired/wireless? | 03:35 |
MellowYellow | right now I am using wifi to connect with the laptop I want to use an ethernet cable | 03:36 |
niriven | Meep. | 03:36 |
MellowYellow | Gnea, yes | 03:36 |
cgrapski | Gnea OK will try that. | 03:36 |
kindofabuzz | Red-Sox, no just download it | 03:36 |
kindofabuzz | Red-Sox, from adobe | 03:36 |
Red-Sox | kindofabuzz: okay | 03:36 |
cplx | anyone here used any Sun StorageTek products? | 03:36 |
Gnea | smm289: is nmbd running? | 03:36 |

smm289 | how do i check | 03:37 |
broken1 | I nolonger have the firmware I need for my sound and wifi setup | 03:37 |
Vermux_ | Im frustrated here, need help using live cd to mount a windows partition | 03:37 |
MellowYellow | Gnea, the router is not the issue. | 03:37 |
Gnea | MellowYellow: try these steps: a) disable your wifi connection on the laptop, b) plug the cable in | 03:37 |
Red-Sox | kindofabuzz: bleh I have to compile it | 03:37 |
broken1 | the live cd works fine though | 03:37 |
kindofabuzz | Red-Sox, no you don't | 03:37 |
MellowYellow | Gnea, did that, I then have no connection to the internet | 03:37 |
broken1 | how can I recover my system? | 03:37 |
Gnea | Vermux_: click on Places->the_windows_drive | 03:37 |
Gnea | Vermux_: should put an icon on the desktop - double click on it | 03:38 |
MellowYellow | tried different ports on the router, they all work for other computers, not this one | 03:38 |
broken1 | which is the current kernel ubuntu is now on, Hardy? | 03:38 |
Vermux_ | Gnea: places? | 03:38 |
balleyne | I'm having trouble configuration multiple monitors. How can I make 1900x1200 an option? It isn't listed when I go to System->Pref->Screen Resolution | 03:38 |
Gnea | Vermux_: between Applications and System | 03:38 |
Red-Sox | kindofabuzz: How do I install it? | 03:38 |
Red-Sox | kindofabuzz: nvm I got it. | 03:39 |
kindofabuzz | Red-Sox, hang on a sec, let's pm | 03:39 |
Gnea | MellowYellow: open a terminal when everything is disconnect and type: ip a , then pastebin the results after you re-enable the wifi | 03:39 |
Gnea | !pastebin | 03:39 |
ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 03:39 |
MellowYellow | balleyne, that is most likely because either the monitor or the graphics card does not support it, especially in dual monitor use | 03:39 |
Red-Sox | kindofabuzz: thank you. | 03:39 |
kindofabuzz | Red-Sox, are you registerd so you can get pm's? | 03:39 |
balleyne | MellowYellow: hmm, that would make sense in terms of a dual-monitor thing. Then, I'd want to turn off my laptop monitor (so as to use the external only)... any idea how to do that? | 03:40 |
MellowYellow | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44421/ | 03:40 |
Vermux_ | Gnea: where? | 03:41 |
Vermux_ | Gnea: it is kubuntu 8.4 | 03:41 |
MellowYellow | balleyne, it is a laptop and you are trying to drive both? | 03:41 |
Gnea | Vermux_: oh... you should ask in #kubuntu then, they would be able to help you better | 03:41 |
broken1 | which kernel is ahrdy on plz? | 03:41 |
manoi | how do i install skipe ? | 03:42 |
zcat[1] | Ummm.. what's the other way of doing a claculation in bash other than $[ $x - $y ] | 03:42 |
Gnea | !skype | manoi | 03:42 |
ubottu | manoi: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 03:42 |
broken1 | anyone know? | 03:42 |
broken1 | -uname -a? | 03:42 |
Vermux_ | Gnea: not much help there | 03:43 |
MellowYellow | balleyne, if so then I doubt your onboard graphics card has the ability to drive an external monitor at that resolution either way | 03:43 |

balleyne | MellowYellow: yeah, it's a laptop... hmm... damn... I used to do it, but I guess it was with a different (though older) laptop... I'll look into that | 03:43 |
broken1 | this is crazy | 03:44 |
MellowYellow | well the switch actually does not disable it in linux (really interesting) so I did it from the desktop | 03:44 |

MellowYellow | spiritssight, yea, sorry I knew openwrt had a good one, and I thought I remebered ddwrt having one as well | 03:48 |
MellowYellow | Gnea, nope | 03:48 |

Taterade | "vital" | 03:53 |
Gnea | broken1: you just contradicted yourself - you said your wifi is broken. | 03:53 |
broken1 | thus the canned wifi tort will not suffice | 03:53 |

Gnea | broken1: which is why you were presented with options for *both* problems. help yourself. | 03:53 |

Theeb | alsa | 03:55 |
Rakeer | Flannel: maybe I just should have tried it, thanks ;) | 03:55 |
Theeb | thats the only one that works for microphone | 03:55 |
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 |

mordof | keppi: i didn't set up the crontab.. it was done by something else that i must've installed. | 03:59 |

Rakeer | Gnea: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/44425/ | 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 |

Gnea | Salooooomy: i would highly suggest removing that line from your .bashrc and making sure that you have the desktop effects turned on from the menu correctly: Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects | 04:24 |

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 |

ubottu | psilo-: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 04:56 |
danbhfive | arnell: try switching to one of the ttyts, with ctrl+alt+f1 or f6 | 04:57 |
spiritssight | keppi: I tryed that it seem not to work | 04:57 |
psilo- | hmm | 04:57 |
psilo- | Please someone help me with a Ralink USB device? | 04:57 |
psilo- | thats more of a request | 04:57 |
keppi | spiritssight: Set-up the one with the WAN plugged in to static ip | 04:57 |
pasteeater | I want newly created filed to default to 664. Is it stupid/unsafe to set "umask 0002"? | 04:58 |
arnell | sorry, what's ttyts? | 04:58 |
arnell | I'm a newb | 04:58 |
shey | talk to you ..... something and something else. | 04:58 |
danbhfive | arnell: try the short cuts I gave you, and you shall see, use ctrl+alt+f7 to get back | 04:58 |
spiritssight | on the main router I have the sec one plug into number four port, on the sec router I have it plug into the WAN | 04:59 |
danbhfive | pasteeater: is this fat32? | 04:59 |
arnell | Is fl the windows key? | 04:59 |
pasteeater | ext3 | 04:59 |
spiritssight | also it has the IP address that it assied using the first router | 04:59 |
arnell | sorry that's F1 | 04:59 |
shey | f-one arnell | 04:59 |
arnell | brainfart | 04:59 |
arnell | thanks | 05:00 |
danbhfive | pasteeater: well, I don't know the answer to your question, but I thought umask was for non-ext* partitions | 05:00 |
pasteeater | danbhfive: i don't think it is filesystem specific | 05:01 |
spiritssight | keppi: I don't understand why its not working it gives me a screen that says can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.107. | 05:01 |
bobertdos | spiritssight: Look through your router's configuration menus for switching between Router/Gateway/Bridge mode. | 05:02 |
pasteeater | danbhfive: i set it as 0002 anyway ans it seems to be working fine. | 05:02 |
keppi | spiritssight: is that screen on the router or your computer? | 05:02 |
spiritssight | its the DD-WRT fireware | 05:02 |
spiritssight | its on the brower | 05:02 |
keppi | spiritssight: can you ping the first router? | 05:02 |
bobertdos | spiritssight:: You'll usually find it under some sort of Advanced Routing section. | 05:03 |
spiritssight | yes I am login to the first router | 05:03 |
spiritssight | I want to look back and forth to setup the seting that I did on the first one | 05:03 |
keppi | spiritssight: on the second router did you set the DNS to the address of the first router"? | 05:04 |
spiritssight | no | 05:04 |
spiritssight | is that the problem | 05:04 |
keppi | Set the DNS and you should be fine. I'm on a computer behind two routers as we type. | 05:04 |
spiritssight | brb | 05:04 |
psilo- | anyone familiar with the manufacturer GXT? | 05:07 |
psilo- | apparently it doesn't exist | 05:07 |
psilo- | and they don't make Wifi USB devices, yet i have one in my possession | 05:07 |
danbhfive | psilo-: use lsusb with it plugged in | 05:08 |
psilo- | Bus 003 Device 008: ID 148f:2770 Ralink Technology, Corp. | 05:08 |

psilo- | is 2770 the chipset version? | 05:08 |
danbhfive | no, but sorta | 05:09 |
danbhfive | but no | 05:09 |
danbhfive | 148f:2770 is the usb identifier, it uniquely identifies the chipset | 05:09 |
DOT3CH | how come my usb speakers work, but i can only turn the volume up about a 1/4 of the way, is their something i need to do to be able to use the full volume of the speakers? | 05:10 |
psilo- | danbhfive: ah, well how can i find the exact chipset? | 05:10 |

complexity | I am running 7.10 | 05:12 |
mindrape | lowlux - ? you talking about cedega? | 05:12 |
danbhfive | psilo-: well, its an Ralink chipset | 05:12 |
lowlux | crossover theat progam | 05:12 |
mindrape | lowlux - my understanding is that wine is just an attempt at a basic API layer... | 05:12 |
spiritssight2 | It does not seem to be working | 05:12 |
psilo- | danbhfive: but don't i need a specific driver? | 05:12 |
danbhfive | psilo-: i would just figure out how other ralink cards are worked, and see if you can get it working that way | 05:12 |
mindrape | cedega and crossover and those others try to emulate that and more... ie; so Direct X will work fully and whatnot. | 05:12 |
lowlux | you have to pay for it.. | 05:13 |
mindrape | some people dont want to code for free... | 05:13 |
mindrape | you cant fault them for wanting to put food on the table. | 05:13 |
lowlux | thats not the linux way of doing things.. | 05:13 |
mindrape | oh really? | 05:13 |
=== SVI is now known as DBO |
mindrape | So RedHat and SuSE shouldn't make money? | 05:13 |
mindrape | lowlux - I think you have a bit of a misperception about "the linux way of doing things" | 05:13 |
lowlux | they ofer there stuff for free. | 05:14 |
psilo- | danbhfive: thanks, maybe ill give that shot | 05:14 |
lowlux | charge you out of the ass for the cds. | 05:14 |
mindrape | lowlux - yet they seem to be public companies that have an income... how is this possible? | 05:14 |
spiritssight2 | keppi: it seems not to be working on the bottom of the FF it says trying to connect to 192.169.0.1 (D-Link sec router) | 05:14 |
mindrape | clearly this isn't the "linux" way! | 05:14 |
danbhfive | psilo-: have you tested it? | 05:14 |
lowlux | support... just like ubuntu | 05:14 |
psilo- | danbhfive: nope, not sure how to do that | 05:15 |
smm289 | I have had ubuntu 8.04 installed for about two weeks. I want to watch a DVD, I insert the DVD and Totem Movie play starts up and then gives me this error: "Could Not Read From Source" | 05:15 |
smm289 | any ideas ? | 05:15 |
mindrape | lowlux - thats part of it. They do charge for RHAS and ES though. | 05:15 |
keppi | spiritssight: ok, which is your first and which is your second? Are you able to ping both routers? | 05:15 |
psilo- | danbhfive: when i pull up ifconfig it doesn't show up though | 05:15 |
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 |
danbhfive | psilo-: guess it doesnt then | 05:15 |
thyagu | sam ... how good is the scratches on the dvd? | 05:15 |
psilo- | danbhfive: it doesn't show up under iwconfig either | 05:16 |
mindrape | lowlux - if you want RHAS for free they will give you the source CDs... most people choose CentOS for this reason because those are a pain to work with. | 05:16 |
smm289 | dvd is fine | 05:16 |
smm289 | no scrathces | 05:16 |
thyagu | ok | 05:16 |
Ontolog | How do I view STDOUT / STDERR on startup? The Ubuntu splashscreen blocks all this but I want to debug a problem | 05:16 |
spiritssight2 | ok my first is a Linksys WRT54GS v3 and the sec is a D-Link 2310 I am able to connect right now to the Linksys as I am on the internet with this one | 05:16 |
lowlux | i never used redhat.. | 05:16 |
thyagu | do you have mplayer? smm289 | 05:16 |
lowlux | never liked rpm.. | 05:16 |
mindrape | well it looks like we have something in common hence our arrival in this channel. | 05:17 |
lowlux | think there interface is ulgy like a carttoon or somehting | 05:17 |
thyagu | try it with mplayer smm289 | 05:17 |
lowlux | ubuntu is ulgy too | 05:17 |
smm289 | yep, I tried mplayer also, but all that does is run forever but with no video display, I have to actually kill the proccess or it will sit there forever | 05:17 |
keppi | spiritssight: from a workstation behind the second (d-link) router are you able to ping the first (linksys) router? | 05:17 |

danbhfive | lowlux: mindrape: can you guys take it to offtopic? this channel is for support | 05:17 |

Garibaldi | I a bit of a ubuntu novice and I'm trying to install kile (a LaTeX editor), and it says I have unmet dependencies | 05:20 |
Garibaldi | how do I go about properly installing unmet deps? | 05:20 |
TACPILOT | hello | 05:20 |
TACPILOT | I have an LVM2 mirror set up, Bonnie++ shows it writing to both drives ,b ut only reading from 1. Shouldn't LVM mirror stripe read ??? | 05:20 |
danbhfive | jmichels1n: have you looked at the man page for iwconfig? | 05:20 |
thyagu | use -f option in apt-get Garibaldi .. | 05:20 |
Flannel | Garibaldi: How are you trying to install it? | 05:20 |
Garibaldi | Flannel: apt-get install kile | 05:20 |
Flannel | No. don't use -f | 05:20 |
lowlux | what do i use to protect the folder? | 05:21 |
Flannel | Garibaldi: try sudo apt-get update | 05:21 |
jmichels1n | danbhfive: yes and no, i have read the basics, | 05:21 |
Garibaldi | Flannel: yeah, I did that first | 05:21 |
Flannel | Garibaldi: What unmet depends does it say it has? | 05:21 |
Garibaldi | says: 'kile: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.5-1) but it is not going to be installed' | 05:21 |
Garibaldi | also on konsole | 05:21 |
keppi | lowlux: "ch lowlux:lowlux porn" | 05:21 |
mindrape | lowlux - do you JUST want it so only you can access it or do you want to "hide" it as well? Because chown and chmod can make it so just you can get to it. | 05:21 |
keppi | lowlux: "chmod 700 porn" | 05:21 |
`Matir | Does anyone know what normal temperatures for a hard drive are? Or rather, what temperatures I should try to keep it at? | 05:21 |
Flannel | Garibaldi: Alright. pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) | 05:22 |
danbhfive | jmichels1n: I have had success using iwconfig adapter then whtever options I need to connect, and just ignore the rest | 05:22 |
lowlux | hide it as well.. | 05:22 |
keppi | lowlux: only you will be able to access it when logged in as lowlux | 05:22 |
mindrape | lowlux - you should probably consider getting an external drive... thats much easier to hide from your parents. :) | 05:22 |
jmichels1n | danbhfive: it shows the ssid there correct but no IP | 05:22 |
lowlux | i seem to can't get a 2ed hard drive to work on ubuntu.. | 05:22 |
mindrape | keppi - technically if his dad is an admin he can gksudo a filesystem browser like thunar and find him out... | 05:22 |
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 |
Flannel | Garibaldi: hmm, alright. So, that all looks normal. What we're going to do is try and install that package (kdelibs4c2a) and then see what error it gives, | 05:26 |
hitman1985 | anyone got a fast idea how to make a txt file out of a directory content ? | 05:26 |
smm289 | well a new DVD is in and its spinning and not doing anything | 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 |
smm289 | sounds like a dial-up modem has taken over my speakers | 05:27 |
Garibaldi | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44442/ | 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 |
Garibaldi | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44443/ | 05:28 |

danbhfive | hitman1985: are you working from the command line? | 05:29 |
smm289 | tried using Mplayer | 05:29 |
Mba7eth | hi ... is there any java specific room here in IRC ? | 05:29 |
Flannel | Garibaldi: alright, there's our problem. You've enabled hardy-backports, and that's whats causing the issue. It's not in your sources.list, check to see if you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and if they have hardy sources in them. | 05:29 |
hitman1985 | danbhfive, not to advanced with ubuntu yet, so i run regular gnome or gui i guess thats what you call that ? | 05:30 |
Garibaldi | Flannel: ah, ok, I have a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unison.list | 05:30 |
Garibaldi | (don't know what that might be) | 05:30 |
tj83 | hitman1985, cd to your dir | 05:30 |
smm289 | try and play a dvd, my speakers sound like a dial-up connection and there is no video. Any ideas ? | 05:30 |
tj83 | hitman1985, and then ls > file.txt | 05:31 |
Garibaldi | but it does have hardy-backports in there. Should I remove that, re-run the apt-get update, and try an upgrade? | 05:31 |

Garibaldi | Flannel: ^ | 05:31 |

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 |

nathanielneall | anyone know a fix for an error while printing? | 05:40 |
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 |
nathanielneall | theres not a loat to say | 05:41 |
hitman1985 | have a good one cya | 05:41 |
danbhfive | arnell: but you are able to switch to different ttys? | 05:41 |
TACPILOT | I have an LVM2 mirror set up, Bonnie++ shows it writing to both drives ,b ut only reading from 1. Shouldn't LVM mirror stripe read ??? | 05:41 |
arnell | Yes, thanks | 05:41 |
Dfcnvt | nathanielneall, I assume you couldn't get your document to print to your printer machine.. correct? | 05:41 |
tj83 | hitman1985.. i might be onto something gimme a sec | 05:42 |
Ketrel | Gnea: I need to change the mac because at my school, you have to register your computers (and they identify by mac), I want to register my xbox (they do consoles separately) and their backlog for this is about 3 weeks. | 05:42 |

arnell | that you know of? | 05:42 |
Ketrel | My trial subscription will be over by then, so I'm just gonna spoof as my xbox, register it myself and then go back. | 05:42 |

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 |

voraistos | Hi, I have a question from noob land regarding encryption... 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 |

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 |

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 | 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 |

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 |

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 |

Kurt | mplayer! | 06:29 |
Theeb | veyne, have you tried vbox? | 06:29 |
EK9 | totsm | 06:29 |
Daisuke_Ido | vnix: best start is to: sudo apt-get install libmysql++-dev | 06:29 |
vnix | thanks | 06:30 |
EK9 | totem sorry | 06:30 |
Daisuke_Ido | then try to configure again | 06:30 |

Daisuke_Ido | vnix: nah | 06:31 |
Theeb | its virtualbox, you can install windows xp, or vista on it, even mac i think. | 06:31 |
vnix | alright installing | 06:31 |
SkinnYPup_ | Looking for the name of the onscreen keyboard for use with tablets, anyone ? | 06:31 |
stralytic | i'm having some problems with nat when using bridging, could anyone lend a hand? | 06:31 |
Daisuke_Ido | Theeb: good luck forwarding any ports to it. why not help with his actual question? | 06:31 |
vnix | done... so what is the next step? daisuke? | 06:31 |
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 |
vnix | configure not found now | 06:32 |
Daisuke_Ido | veyne: programs run under wine should be able to access the net just like any other program | 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 |
Kurt | dataspy: try ls -lh | 06:33 |
donny | vnix :) | 06:33 |
dinar | hello | 06:33 |
dinar | how to turn on/off ircd-hybrid? | 06:33 |
vnix | there is one config warning from config.status. I can just ignore it right? | 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 |
donny | vnix, you will have to ask the developers of the software you are building :) | 06:35 |
vnix | i see thanks^^ | 06:35 |
vbhide | hi there, how do i add pci=assign-busses to my boot options ? | 06:35 |
dres | vnix: coming from the po subdir? | 06:35 |
veyne | yeha, i had no problen runnin gSL offa my old windows backup and it ran like a dream.. | 06:35 |
vnix | I am sorry dres I don understand >< | 06:36 |
vnix | anyone good with PVPGN here? | 06:36 |
Daisuke_Ido | emulates battle.net? | 06:36 |
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 |
Daisuke_Ido | before you compile it, is there something wrong with the version in the repos? | 06:38 |
vnix | i just download from the offcial site | 06:39 |
b1 | sam | 06:39 |
vnix | not using SVN | 06:39 |
vbhide | hi there, ubuntu cannot read my sd card... i don't know how to add pci=assign-busses to my boot options ! | 06:39 |
donny | vnix, you could see if it's already in the ubuntu repository and install it without having to compile it from source code | 06:39 |
* Daisuke_Ido blinks | 06:39 |
Daisuke_Ido | !info pvpgn | 06:40 |
vnix | ya but it's 1.8.1 | 06:40 |

HeMan | Is memtest in intrepid patched from the on http://memtest.org/? | 06:40 |
donny | vnix, but i had assumed you already explored that possibility | 06:40 |
donny | vnix, ah, ok then | 06:40 |
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 |
vnix | Alright thanks Kurt I have bypass the warning^^ | 06:43 |
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. What can I delete without messing up my system? Can I delete /var , it seems like a really big dir ? | 06:44 |
legend2440 | vbhide: in terminal type gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst then add that to end of this line kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=0f094f73-619c-40ca-b941-07b4e479838f ro splash quiet | 06:44 |
dataspy | I actually don't care about messing up my system I just want to get some data off of it | 06:45 |
Kurt | dataspy: if you have things in /tmp/ they can almost certainly go safely | 06:45 |
lowlux | i can not play any of my raideo on vlc... puse auideo sucks | 06:45 |
dataspy | kurt: thanks, I'll try that :) | 06:45 |
vnix_ | Kurt when I use "make" then it's compiling right? | 06:46 |
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 |
vnix_ | make /dev0 ? | 06:47 |
dataspy | kurt: ok, I delete temp but I still have no room in / , is there anything else I can possibly delete, possibly in /var | 06:48 |
=== 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 |
icewaterman | i am getting a badsig error | 06:50 |
Kurt | vnix, no, arguments to make are targets | 06:50 |
icewaterman | when trying to update | 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 |
icewaterman | hardy-updates will not update because of that error | 06:50 |
Kartagis | what repo do i get frostwire from? | 06:51 |
donny | don't listen to him. do it. delete your root. no one needs warned against this. a legitimate warning would be "that will erase your root." but that wasn't applicable. | 06:51 |
Kartagis | !frostwire | 06:51 |
ubottu | frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 06:51 |

Kurt | dataspy: if you don't care about possibly losing personal info (like if you have mail in /var/mail), then you can delete stuff in /var/ without affecting your system | 06:52 |
spiritssight | or is there a easer way to install this | 06:52 |
donny | spiritssight, i think you have to download that from microsoft's website | 06:52 |
donny | spiritssight, check the ndiswrapper website, i think it's http://ndiswrapper.sf.net/ | 06:52 |

smmagic | dumb squid proxies | 06:54 |
obsidieth | mine has been shocking | 06:54 |

obsidieth | i have a pretty basic question | 06:54 |
smmagic | Im bannde from sites I've never been to | 06:54 |
Kartagis | which one is better? limewire or frostwire? | 06:54 |
obsidieth | but ive got an ipv6 entry in my ifconfig, and i cant remove it. | 06:54 |

obsidieth | now, back to removing my entry. | 06:55 |
obsidieth | i tried ifconfig delete ipv6-he | 06:55 |

bazz | why the hell would ld be telling me cannot find -lXmu when i have libXmu.so.6 in /usr/lib and ldconfig -p confirms that it's there and 'findable' | 07:02 |
obsidieth | it seems im the only one here, but sorry i have no idea | 07:02 |
bazz | heh, that's okay | 07:03 |
Dfcnvt | Maybe it's not only a file is actually there in your /usr/lib directory.. but a program that can't do the job correctly by using your libXmu.so.6 file... | 07:04 |
Dfcnvt | the** | 07:05 |
obsidieth | i am sorry to ask again, but this is really bugging me. | 07:05 |
obsidieth | how do i remove an entry from my ifconfig. | 07:05 |
obsidieth | im new and stupid, ill admit that. | 07:05 |
Dfcnvt | ok, if you want your interface disappear, then reach your hand in the computer case and pull out the network interface card.. and try ifconfig command... | 07:06 |
bazz | obsidieth: ifconfig should only report things that are actually *there*, so what do you mean by remove | 07:06 |
obsidieth | well | 07:07 |
obsidieth | ive got an ipv4in6 somethinf something | 07:07 |
obsidieth | ipv6 tunnel i guess | 07:07 |
obsidieth | but i want to remove it and add a different one | 07:07 |
Dfcnvt | maybe you don't understand what's ipv4 & ipv6 means in this era? | 07:07 |

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, 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Dfcnvt | Clarence, you hasn't stated what problem you're having | 07:37 |

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 |

Dfcnvt | oh... you mean compiz? | 07:40 |
Archon | what is exit status 134? | 07:40 |
Archon | with regards to apt-get | 07:40 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

co0lingFir3 | hello, how do i "love songs" for last.fm in banshee? | 08:35 |
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 |
linuxhelp | if you always have problems of hardware at ubuntu try lspci as root and lsmod this shows loaded hardware state | 08:37 |
obsidieth | now its on usa, but i cant get @ sumbols and stuff | 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 |

Flannel | Brett: That'd depend on your menu.lst, it doesn't do autodetection at boot or anything. | 08:37 |

Flannel | Kartagis: yes. | 08:38 |
linuxhelp | if this works you can setup it perfectly if none try a older ubuntu live cd | 08:38 |
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 |
dougsko | eccentricity: iwlist is the most basic | 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 |

zetheroo | Chunky_Ks: what is that? | 08:46 |
dougsko | Greyspacebt3: after you install that stuff and change that line, youll need to restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace. if X doesnt startup right, cp the old config back, let us know what happened | 08:46 |
Chunky_Ks | it continues a stopped download | 08:46 |
linuxhelp | you can add 8GB RAM for vmware use.. | 08:46 |
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 | but if you do a hard drive install of these applications they cashe the stuff that you wouldn't want there if you were sitting in court... enoff said... | 08:46 |

Flannel | zetheroo: There's nothing it offers that isn't in the official repos | 08:48 |
crdlb | linuxhelp: it is an unsupported derivative | 08:48 |

Drag0nLord | anyone? | 08:49 |
Greyspacebt3 | doug,, you won't give up will you... lol | 08:49 |
zetheroo | Flannel: yes ... but Ultimate comes with a lot more built in with it ... I wish Ubuntu had more themes and extras built in ... | 08:49 |

zetheroo | how can I get Windows to read EXT3 | 08:50 |
WoofWoofWoof | I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920.

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 CD | 08:50 |
linuxhelp | for every mounted partition i must set password at boot | 08:50 |
Flannel | zetheroo: Well, you're free to do whatever you want, but if you use ultimate edition, you'll get zero support through any Ubuntu resources. It's got bad things going on, and doesn't offer you anything you can't do with an official Ubuntu install. | 08:50 |

dougsko | netsurf3: if your keybaord is locked up, youll probly have to reboot | 08:59 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 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 |

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 |
ActionParsnip | hana: run mount on its own | 10:24 |
hana | ActionParsnip, ok/ | 10:24 |
ActionParsnip | elzoog: opera, its way smaller in ram | 10:24 |
elzoog | Action: Yeah, I hear Opera is popular. | 10:25 |
hana | ActionParsnip, I don't see any /media mounts. | 10:25 |
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 |

elzoog | Slasher: I don't bother. Rather than take the time to run konqueror, see that a web site doesn't look good so I have to run firefox anyway, I'll just save myself the hassle and just run firefox in the first place. | 10:29 |
ActionParsnip | i have firefox on my work lappy so i can control amarok via xul | 10:29 |

Slasher` | stimpie, ctrl+alt+left/right arrow keys? | 10:30 |
stodan | tee is better, thx | 10:31 |

stimpie | Slasher`, they stop when you are at the edges and dont go the start again | 10:31 |
ActionParsnip | hana: strange, what if you manually mount it? | 10:31 |
Slasher` | ah i see what you mean | 10:31 |

WoofWoofWoof | 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 po | 10:34 |
hana | ActionParsnip, I just hear the same sound I hear when I just put the CD in. The drive makes noise like it's trying to read it, but it doesn't successfully mount. | 10:35 |
ActionParsnip | hana: do you have 2 cd drives/ | 10:35 |
ghostknife | In which configuration file can I edit the global BASE PATH environment variable? | 10:35 |

stdin | ghostknife: for your user or all users? | 10:35 |
Greyspacebt3 | dougsko, I have sound and I have video | 10:35 |
ghostknife | ikonia: the PATH variable? | 10:36 |
ghostknife | stdin: all users | 10:36 |
stdin | ghostknife: /etc/environment | 10:36 |
ikonia | ghostknife: ooh PATH - I thought you where asking for BASE | 10:36 |
ghostknife | stdin: that's what I meant with global | 10:36 |
hana | ActionParsnip, no. Just one. | 10:36 |
ActionParsnip | hana: does it show up in bios? | 10:36 |
stdin | but they can override in their ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile | 10:36 |
ghostknife | stdin: problem with that one is that it doesn't affect SUDO | 10:36 |
dougsko | Greyspacebt3: awesome | 10:37 |
ikonia | ghostknife: you may want to put something in /etc/skel to for new user creation | 10:37 |
hana | ActionParsnip, I would just have to check. I just took the CD out and put it in my other computer and it works fine, so I know it's not the CD. | 10:37 |
stdin | ghostknife: sudo has a built-in "secure" path, you can't change it | 10:37 |
hana | ActionParsnip, I'm going to try another CD in this one and see if it mounts. | 10:37 |
ActionParsnip | hana: good test | 10:37 |
dougsko | ghostknife: there's also /etc/profile | 10:37 |
ActionParsnip | hana: another good tets | 10:37 |
ghostknife | stdin: I understand all those, I'm just trying to get SUDO to also include this when resetting the PATH env variable (don't want it preserved, so that a user can take on the new environment of the sudo'ed context) | 10:37 |
ikonia | stdin: isn't there an option at sudo invokation to source a file for things like environment variable | 10:37 |

Debs626 | Hello guys | 10:37 |
ActionParsnip | hi Debs626 | 10:38 |
br0kkN | ikonia: yah, and we intend to make the server a central raid soon. but for my desktop, where i often trade drives in and out to 'work on' or fix for friends, tinker, what have you... that drive order thing is a pain when i go from 6 to 5 hdds and suddenly can't boot... and it wasn't either my bios boot and / drive or the drive with /boot that was pulled. since i do this sort of thing a lot, i was hoping for some idea on how i might | 10:38 |
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 |
br0kkN | ikonia: okay, so it is having the /boot on the 250G IDE and bios-boot and various / | 10:39 |
=== Dream-Ub1 is now known as Dream |
hana | ActionParsnip, I put in another CD and it mounted on this computer. So I guess the CD drive is also working. My guess is that it's a problem with wine because before wine would run the autorun.exe fromt he photoshop CD, but after I tried to install gecko following online directions so that wine would complete the setup.exe process, this problem occurred. | 10:39 |

Greyspacebt3 | dougsko, but my head hurts | 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 |

zocky | lmg, I had random reboots with firefox for a few days last week and it somehow just went away. I updated some firefox addons in the meantime, though. | 11:04 |
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 | 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 |

brettt_ | can anyone help with cairo-dock? | 11:06 |
lmg | ActionParsnip: had to do some wierd stuff to get the flashplugin32 wrapped and output sound to pulse | 11:06 |
ActionParsnip | Greyspacebt3: once you sudo you dont have to type the password again | 11:06 |
negge | vampur: you mean you can't access the drive anymore? | 11:06 |
lmg | ActionParsnip: it's L mg, not i. | 11:06 |
vampur | yes | 11:06 |
ActionParsnip | lmg: took me a while eh | 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 | lmg: try nspluginwrapper with the adobe 32bit plugin | 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 |
michaesaur | What's the Package called to apt MySQL? | 11:08 |
ActionParsnip | clarence: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:08 |
vampur | can u help me gparted | 11:08 |
negge | michaesaur: mysql-server | 11:08 |
ActionParsnip | !sql | michaesaur | 11:08 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sql | 11:08 |
lmg | michaesaur: server? mysql-server | 11:08 |
michaesaur | !mysql | michaesaur | 11:09 |
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 |
ActionParsnip | clarence: well, part of | 11:09 |
bob1 | My PC has a hard time starting. Sometimes restarting several times. any ideas? | 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 |
ActionParsnip | clarence: fewer startup services, more ram, faster hard drives | 11:12 |
vampur | can any one help i am unable to see and mount my pendrive | 11:12 |

lmg | top right | 11:13 |
vampur | dear i am saying my pendrive is fat32 format and yestd i installed slux in it | 11:13 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: what /dev is it in the fdisk output? | 11:13 |
lmg | what's slux? a mix of slax + ubuntu? | 11:14 |
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 |
Greyspacebt3 | lmg... hate to be a leach... but that was too easy | 11:15 |
Greyspacebt3 | lol | 11:15 |
clarence | but I found drag start-up rate for drivers is, how to solve | 11:15 |
vampur | Unable to open /dev/eda | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip | |ns|nR8: all hard drives are IDE, i think you mean PATA | 11:15 |
lmg | ActionParsnip: thanks for trying to help, but I don't have any troubles with my drives ;) | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: ok cool | 11:15 |
vampur | it's unable to read the drive | 11:15 |

ActionParsnip | vampur: ok sudo mkdir /mnt/stick; sudo mount /dev/eda /mnt/stick vfat | 11:16 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: does all that work? | 11:16 |
Greyspacebt3 | EVGA 132-CK-NF78-!A 3-Way SLI S-775 nVidia nForce 780i | 11:16 |
Greyspacebt3 | This Motherboard is the best that I have ever had | 11:17 |
subtwo | does anyone know of a good online backup service that works with ubuntu, I've been looking at rsync.net and bqbackup - any other suggestions? | 11:17 |
Greyspacebt3 | it is pricey 245.00 but its built for today and for next month | 11:17 |
lmg | Greyspacebt3: do you have a binary (script) called "sensors-detect" in your path (prolly after installing "lmsensors") ? | 11:17 |
vampur | den | 11:17 |
vampur | with stick vfat ntn happen | 11:18 |
lmg | subtwo: g-drive for small files. | 11:18 |
vampur | and with only stick one it did nothing | 11:18 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: cd /mnt | 11:18 |
ActionParsnip | cd stick | 11:18 |
ActionParsnip | ls | 11:18 |
Greyspacebt3 | I am still searching for lmsensors | 11:18 |
subtwo | Img: thanks, but I'm looking at somewhere between 50GB and 100GB | 11:18 |
vampur | now what | 11:18 |
lmg | Greyspacebt3: since this is not too ubuntu-specific, you can PM me if you want to. | 11:19 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: do you see files? | 11:19 |
vampur | nopes | 11:19 |
vampur | how | 11:19 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: ok | 11:19 |

vampur | now den | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: cfdisk /dev/eda | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: with sudo | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: then delete any partitions and recreate | 11:21 |
clarence | how to speed up the driver loading in the booting? | 11:21 |
lmg | vampur: and make _sure_ you're using the right device | 11:21 |
vampur | it says cannot open disk | 11:22 |
lmg | vampur: does `df` list your drive? | 11:22 |
vampur | pardon me lmg dear | 11:23 |
lmg | df is a command | 11:23 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: then sudo fsck /dev/eda | 11:23 |
lmg | but since ActionParsnip is takin' care of you - I'll try to shut up ;) | 11:23 |
vampur | fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) | 11:23 |
vampur | e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) | 11:23 |
vampur | fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/eda | 11:23 |
vampur | hey i can only be honoured if i can just only format it and can read and access it | 11:25 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: can you repartition it in windows? | 11:26 |
unop | fsck won't run on a physical device | 11:26 |
lmg | vampur: pull out your drive, tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it in again. | 11:26 |
unop | fsck /dev/eda1 #perhaps | 11:26 |
lmg | this is what happens here if I plug in a FAT32 stick -> http://pastebin.com/d53134c6c | 11:26 |

Abracadabra | Can anyone tell me how to list recursively with folder ? | 11:30 |
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 |
brettt_ | can anyone help with cairo-dock? | 11:39 |
ActionParsnip | vampur: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 11:39 |
vampur | only one media is being displyed | 11:39 |
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 |
unop | vampur, what name does fdisk -l report about your device? | 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, MP's? | 11:50 |

Slasher` | rofl | 11:50 |
darren | Hi does any one know how to set up hotmail in evoloution | 11:51 |
valentinex | lmg: after mozilla there is also no plugin folder | 11:51 |
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 |
bastid_raZor | !medibuntu | carrera | 11:53 |
ubottu | carrera: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 11:53 |
ben34 | what is the program called which you can install a copy of xp emulated under ubuntu | 11:53 |
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 |

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 |
darren | unop: what does hotmail support | 11:56 |
carrera | bastid_raZor, to the point that I gave up | 11:56 |
unop | Badboy_, write a macro where exactly? | 11:56 |

reaper | gah | 11:56 |
reaper | anyone wanna help me with a wireless issue? | 11:56 |
Badboy_ | Actually I want to say that Can a macro call itself? | 11:57 |
carrera | Badboy_, good questions but why would u want to do that when ANSI C recommends against macros | 11:57 |
darren | unop: ok thank you | 11:57 |
clarence | how to speed up the driver loading speed in the booting? | 11:57 |
Badboy_ | Oh no! actually this is only for experiment | 11:57 |
carrera | Badboy_, then just experiment with it! | 11:58 |
dooglus | !ask | reaper | 11:58 |
ubottu | reaper: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 11:58 |

clarence | What does that mean? | 11:58 |
Badboy_ | Actually I had to find an answer for my exam! I found a question to differentiate macro and function in C | 11:58 |
lmg | think I'll dump linux64. givin' me tooo much trouble | 11:58 |
lmg | valentinex: cool :) | 11:59 |
xMassi1986x | Hi | 11:59 |
Badboy_ | Now I thought whether macro supports recursion or not | 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 |
AlexCONRAD | what would you recommend as an client app that handles FTP, SFTP, etc ... | 11:59 |
lmg | michaesaur: come again. crux, banker? | 11:59 |
dooglus | AlexCONRAD: GNU Emacs | 12:00 |
Badboy_ | thanx dooglus | 12:00 |
michaesaur | lmg: i am the oracle. you will follow directions because. you are the one. | 12:00 |
* lmg nods in agreement | 12:00 |
AlexCONRAD | dooglus: I need a more GUI app :) | 12:00 |
d0c5i5 | I'm having a problem getting ubuntu to connect to our PIX, my pcf file works on windows, but when i try to import it into KVpnc, it keeps insisting that I enter a username/password (as opposed to group password)... Any suggestions? | 12:01 |
lmg | I will do as you command, oracle, sir. | 12:01 |
dooglus | AlexCONRAD: how about filezilla then? | 12:01 |
michaesaur | oh. i'm in #ubuntu. oops. | 12:02 |
AlexCONRAD | yeah, I was using this before under windows, but it's a win32 client ... I thought there might have more "linux" alternative | 12:02 |
dooglus | !info filezilla | AlexCONRAD | 12:02 |
ubottu | alexconrad: filezilla (source: filezilla): Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.7.1-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 926 kB, installed size 2468 kB | 12:02 |

y3k | i've got a question regarding syslinux and grub error 17, anyone wish to help me? | 12:04 |
y3k | ok nevermind, i need sleep. goodnight | 12:05 |
lmg | can one use gparted to edit the systems / partition? | 12:05 |
lmg | guess not while it's mounted. | 12:05 |
lmg | but how would I do that then? | 12:05 |
y3k | nope, you have to use gparted live CD or some other source | 12:05 |
y3k | or an ubuntu liveCD would work too (i think it does have gparted on it) | 12:06 |
=== mehteenager is now known as MrObvious |
lmg | y3k: yeah, I figured. | 12:07 |
lmg | what If I dropped to single user mode. unmounted / and ran gparted from said live-CD? | 12:07 |
d0c5i5 | lmg: you would have to switch root | 12:08 |
d0c5i5 | lmg: why not boot the live CD? | 12:08 |
y3k | i still don't get why my gparted Live USB gives me grub error 17 | 12:09 |
d0c5i5 | lmg: there are also gparted boot isos | 12:09 |

=== Dedi is now known as dedi_away |
clarence | who can answer my question? | 12:19 |
ElemonGW | ActionParsnip: nice... a bit of work could be what? using a newer kernel than the one provided with ubuntu? will ubuntu 8.10 have more luck as it has a more recent ((& unstable) kernel? | 12:19 |
dashavoo | kooothor_, that looks cool, but its an X11 app =( | 12:19 |
ActionParsnip | clarence: what is the question | 12:19 |
jrib | clarence: best to just repeat instead of asking that | 12:19 |
cheeky | morning | 12:20 |
cheeky | any one up ? | 12:20 |
kooothor_ | dashavoo, yeah, you're not using x11 at all ? | 12:20 |
ActionParsnip | ElemonGW: theres a few packages you'll need, theres documentation about it everywhere, it may even work out of the box | 12:20 |
kooothor_ | dashavoo, so try htop | 12:20 |
cheeky | whao for a moment thought this roomwas dead | 12:20 |
