I mean, if it's sunny, your desktop will be sunny, and if it's raining, your desktop will have blue/grayish colors, etc. Would this be possible? Although I'm no programmer I visualize something like having different themes named "sunny" "rainy" "snowy" etc, and a script that checks with the gnome weather applet an | 00:29 |
| Filthpig | d applies the right theme.. | 00:29 |
| jrib | hey`: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? | 00:29 |

| hey` | aigh understood, sorry. | 00:29 |
| hou5ton | jrib: so ... it's only a windows borders thing? | 00:29 |

| webdawg | thanks | 00:30 |
| webdawg | does it need to be installeD? | 00:30 |
| soundray | Filthpig: in KDE, you can use a web page or an image from the web as the desktop background. I'm sure there's an addon with similar functionality for gnome. Try 'apt-cache search wallpaper' | 00:30 |

| jrib | DIFH-iceroot: that will do it :) | 00:32 |
| soundray | Filthpig: I see. Writing a script that updates the theme depending on the weather report shouldn't be too difficult either | 00:33 |
| Filthpig | soundray, my thought exactly. However somebody with graphic talent should help out on the visual side of things ;) | 00:34 |

| rabiddachshund | I'm getting a *lot* of static/noise through my speakers. Where do I start? | 00:50 |
| DarkShadow791 | hey i installed ubuntu under my windows boot as a program thing and i was interested in getting rid of that and partitioning my hard drive and installing it on its own boot | 00:50 |
| usser | Stargazer, yep head to medibuntu.org and follow repository howto then do sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 00:50 |
| DarkShadow791 | but it took me *forever* to get my wireless card to work so i was wondering if there's a (hopefully) easy way to export my wireless drivers/settings and then import them on a new install | 00:50 |
| usser | rabiddachshund, open a mixer and lower PCM slider | 00:50 |

| listofoptions | exuse me but does anyone have any idea how to keep compiz from removing window borders and blanking out my terminal? | 00:52 |
| DarkShadow791 | usser: its some kind of broadcom one | 00:53 |
| rabiddachshund | ussr: wow. that was too easy. Thaks | 00:53 |
| dinar | so that traffic at server does not increase when listeners are many | 00:53 |
| rabiddachshund | thanks* | 00:53 |
| DarkShadow791 | usser: it took me two days of tutorials and troubleshooting with 3 different linux "experts" helping me to get it to work | 00:53 |
| DarkShadow791 | and i have no idea what exactly did the trick | 00:53 |
| DarkShadow791 | but i hopefully want to just export the drivers and settings and then just reimport them in a new install | 00:53 |

| ImSoNewb | hi linux gurus. i would like to install ubuntu on a newly built system. it is a q6600 cpu on an intel p45 mainboard. i should download the x86/64-bit distribution, even though it says AMD? | 01:00 |
| Flannel | EvolutionXtinct: what are you going to use ftp for? | 01:00 |
| BCM34 | ImSoNewb: dont use 64 bit | 01:01 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i have clients who have to upload database backups | 01:01 |
| BCM34 | ImSoNewb: it is too buggy | 01:01 |
| ImSoNewb | ok | 01:01 |
| EvolutionXtinct | and we need it to go onto our 3.5TB RAID 5 array which is a storage server | 01:01 |
| ImSoNewb | which version should i use then? | 01:01 |
| Flannel | ImSoNewb: yes. 64bits are for AMD/intel (it just is called AMD64), just like 32bit ones use i386 for both intel and AMD | 01:01 |
| quaal | how can i search including date created/modified like windows F3 can do | 01:01 |
| dashnu | ImSoNewb: 64bit works fine for me | 01:01 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i setup a symlink to the folder of the RAID but stupid proftpd and any FTP client see's the symlink as a dumb shortcut and opens it up w/ nothing inside | 01:01 |
| Stargazer | Thanks, usser. | 01:01 |
| BCM34 | ImSoNewb: basic 32 bit | 01:01 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i use the symlink in CLI it works just fine | 01:01 |
| ImSoNewb | i'm getting some conflicting information here. | 01:01 |
| ImSoNewb | what kind of bugs does the 64-bit version have? | 01:02 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i shoulda never made the RAID partition a NTFS partition | 01:02 |
| Kira | Hi, is there a command to view all the computers connected to my router and their IP address's? I currently do not have a network setup | 01:02 |
| EvolutionXtinct | its useless now because i thought i could connect VMWare up to it and use it. but since its already linked by HOst OS i can't do that!! | 01:02 |
| Flannel | ImSoNewb: Whichever you choose will work, theyre both for AMD and i386 (I'm assuming your processor does 64bit) | 01:02 |
| BCM34 | ImSoNewb: dont trust me, i have heard other people in the channel say that new people should not use 64 bit on important machines | 01:02 |
| Flannel | ImSoNewb: er, amd and intel, that is. | 01:02 |
| dashnu | ImSoNewb: im using intrepid though | 01:02 |
| EvolutionXtinct | anyone familiar w/ ntfs-3g | 01:03 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i for some reason can't read permissions off of it. | 01:03 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i think that might be the problem. | 01:03 |
| BCM34 | is there a way to insert a cd on one computer and have the sound play on other computers too? | 01:03 |
| Flannel | ImSoNewb: the issues with 64bit is generally due to having to use proprietary stuff, and even that has gotten a lot nicer/easier in the past few years | 01:03 |
| zoidberg_77 | guys i really need some help....i have hooked up my laptop to an external projector....when a play a video it is black on the external projector but it plays on my laptop screen | 01:03 |

| tWiZtEr | Ubuntu LiveCD = kernel 2.6.24-19-generic --- i installed it to my USBkey (2GB) as Linux Persistant system --- i need to upgrade to kernel 2.6.24 so how would i do this from the LiveCD | 01:28 |
| blaenk | !mountwindows | 01:28 |
| IceGuest_7 | lol good luck | 01:28 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 01:28 |
| d0wn | IceGuest_7: i cannot do that. the computer i have connected to the ethernet is an ubuntu 8.04 server | 01:28 |
| |chiz| | I'm trying to mount an nfs network drive and I can't get it so that users can write to it | 01:28 |
| zcat[1] | client will listen on whatever interfaces are set for dhcp. dhcpd will give out addresses on whatever interface is in one of the ranges it's allowed to give out addresses for. | 01:28 |
| IceGuest_7 | Chis are you using samba | 01:29 |
| d0wn | I can't connect to the server until I get the dhcp going | 01:29 |
| |chiz| | IceGuest_7: nfs | 01:29 |
| aitd | I am still having a problem with *buntu recognizing a blank cd or dvd. I have tried the suggestions previously recommended without success. See pastebin 45095 for output and methods used thus far. Thanks...! | 01:29 |
| dashnu | what pkg deals with laptop volume buttons? | 01:29 |
| zcat[1] | I set my laptop up to connect vie wireless and then share that with a network via eth0, used it a couple of times too. | 01:29 |
| dashnu | mine volume button turns up and down capture :p | 01:30 |
| dashnu | not what i want | 01:30 |
| |chiz| | aitd: what is that pastebin link? | 01:30 |
| Wotanskrieger | what happened with gnomefiles.org? | 01:30 |
| IceGuest_7 | d0wn ask zcat it sounds like he has done exactly this before | 01:30 |
| zcat[1] | .. actually not so hard to set up with firestarter, you just set up the wireless and in firestarter say that's the 'outside' network and eth0 is your LAN, and turn on connection sharing | 01:30 |
| aitd | chiz http://paste.ubuntu.com/45095 | 01:30 |
| zcat[1] | I did it the hard way though... | 01:31 |
| d4nt3hfir3m4n | ubuntu sucks | 01:31 |
| zcat[1] | (actually no, the lappy I did it the easy way.. I've also done it the hard way) | 01:31 |
| Kira | why are you here then if it sucks? | 01:31 |
| d4nt3hfir3m4n | cos it sucks so much | 01:32 |
| d4nt3hfir3m4n | its a joke | 01:32 |
| zcat[1] | d4nt3hfir3m4n, thank you for your opinion. Got any specific problems you'd like help with? | 01:32 |
| d4nt3hfir3m4n | win98 ftw | 01:32 |
| jrib | d4nt3hfir3m4n: do you need help with something or are just here to rant? | 01:32 |
| FloodBot2 | d4nt3hfir3m4n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:32 |
| Wotanskrieger | what happened with gnomefiles.org? When I try to enter on it, it's redirected to osnews.com. Is it offline? | 01:32 |
| d4nt3hfir3m4n | im not flooding, you cant flood on a monotior | 01:32 |
| blaenk | how can I automatically mount windows ntfs partitions in 8.04? | 01:32 |
| d4nt3hfir3m4n | :O | 01:32 |
| zcat[1] | Anyhow.. yeah. Ubuntu is bad. It has non-free binary blobs. I'm actually on IRC via gNewSense .. and no, my wireless doesn't work ;) | 01:32 |
| Talon_66 | ok i downloaded acroreader from mediubuntu and it will not open it what is wrong | 01:32 |

| wng- | tenbytes: virtual box | 01:36 |
| blaenk | hmm it doesnt work | 01:36 |
| jrib | !virtualizer | tenbytes | 01:36 |
| ubottu | tenbytes: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 01:36 |
| IceGuest_7 | oh got ya but....um fuck h./o | 01:36 |
| tenbytes | is 1gb of ram ok to use that? | 01:36 |
| BCM34 | how do you start samba? | 01:36 |
| xmpp | is edgy eft too old to even upgrade anything now ? | 01:36 |
| tenbytes | !VirtualBox | 01:36 |

| Jeffl | I uninstalled Evolution e-mail program and now lost my taskbars and such. How can I get this back? | 01:37 |
| Godstrong | how compatible is ubuntu with apps? | 01:37 |
| blaenk | I already have the lines in fstab and mount -a doesn't complain, but when I go to the actual directories (/media/sda1 for example) it doesnt show anything in them | 01:37 |
| Kira | Hi, im going to getting a RAID array set up, and I was wondering if it will cause any damage if I make an encrypted file system and install ubuntu to it after the RAID is set up? | 01:37 |

| Godstrong | I was thinking about getting a netbook with ubuntu 8.04 | 01:37 |

| Kohnrad1982 | Is there an easy way to mount an .iso to use in ubuntu instead of burning it? | 01:38 |
| lfrider | blaenk ok well most likely u have mounted something like sdb instead of sdb1 | 01:38 |
| blaenk | lfrider, no, it's sdb1 | 01:38 |
| wng- | lfrider: man mount | 01:38 |
| lfrider | u must mount the partition not the device | 01:38 |
| blaenk | I know that lfrider | 01:38 |
| BCM34 | Kira: can you help me setting up the cd drive to be shared | 01:38 |
| lfrider | oh sry | 01:38 |
| blaenk | I don't understand why things get more complicated | 01:38 |
| blaenk | it used to be just run the script found here [ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions ] | 01:38 |
| lfrider | well have you tried umounting it then trying agian | 01:38 |
| wng- | lfrider: mount -o loop -t iso9660 iso mountpoint | 01:39 |
| blaenk | I ran it but it said ntfs-fuse file system unknown, so I changed it to just ntfs | 01:39 |
| blaenk | I'll try making it ntfs-3g | 01:39 |
| Kira | BCM34, im sorry I would like to help you but im only experimenting with it myself (i just started today) | 01:39 |
| Godstrong | do /mp3 files play well on ubuntu? | 01:39 |

| santana_ | besides madwifi.org | 01:40 |
| asxx | Anyone know how to update the graphic driver under ubuntu? | 01:40 |
| Agent_bob | i think i just found a bug in "mc", it seems that a remote dir containing more than 16k files can not be accessed http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d217c394 | 01:40 |
| lfrider | willis no not harder just MORE FUN!! | 01:40 |
| Jeffl | I uninstalled Evolution e-mail program and now lost my taskbars and such. How can I get this back? | 01:41 |

| lfrider | so what irc client is the best i just got into this today | 01:41 |
| aitd | irssi | 01:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | !konversation | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about konversation | 01:41 |
| santana_ | maybe a binary package?, or should I use madwifi? | 01:41 |
| Jeffl | FUCK | 01:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | lfrider: konversation is good | 01:41 |
| aitd | !irssi | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 01:41 |
| Godstrong | like what willis? | 01:41 |
| asxx | anyone how to update a graphic driver? | 01:41 |

| SebNaitsabes | Godstrong: wrong channel for that try #club-ubuntu | 01:42 |
| asxx | sebnaitsabes, can you help me update my graphic card? | 01:42 |
| lfrider | sry i mean a windows one sry i know my main pc is still xp i hate it to but i gotta have it | 01:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | asxx: maybe what type? Nivida or ATI? | 01:43 |
| Jeffl | Godstrong I have a Aspire One netbook. Uninstalled Evolution e-mail and lost all of my gnome windows and taskbars and such. No clue how to get it back so im going to reinstall again. | 01:43 |
| lfrider | nvidia use ENVY!! | 01:43 |
| asxx | Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) | 01:43 |
| Agent_bob | i guess it could be "ls"s short comming that is causing that. or even grep | 01:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Godstrong: unless you want Ubuntu suppourt for a netbook | 01:43 |
| asxx | problem was that one of the game could run on windows but soon as I started in linux, it says my graphic card is too old to play.. | 01:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | asxx: which game? | 01:43 |
| asxx | regnum | 01:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | asxx: is that a Windows game your running in Wine? | 01:44 |
| asxx | its a linux game | 01:44 |
| asxx | but i have tried on windows with the windows version and worked fine | 01:44 |
| Godstrong | so overall jeffl do you like your acer aspire one? | 01:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | asxx: you could try the WIndows version in Wine in Ubuntu, altough that's not really the soloution for native version | 01:45 |
| Jeffl | Godstrong I regret it. Should have waited until Linux distros better supported it. As of now reinstalling Ubuntu and will try the 3 hour long procedure again | 01:45 |
| asxx | sebnaitsabes: yes, I could try it with wine but is there any way to play with linux version? | 01:45 |
| Yamakiri | how do I make a daemon automatically start up when I turn on my PC? | 01:45 |
| asxx | perhaps, I might need to update my graphic card because in xorg, it just says generic default video driver | 01:45 |
| asxx | in lspci, it says Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) | 01:46 |
| Godstrong | bc I have heard a lot about that new dell netbook and you can totally customized it on the dell website | 01:46 |
| Jeffl | Godstrong I restarted the computer today and the wireless does not work. It does not "Detect" hotspots. I got it to work yesterday but doing it manually. | 01:46 |
| Godstrong | plus i have been wanting to play with linux | 01:47 |
| Jeffl | If dell comes preinstalled w/ Ubuntu id go with them. | 01:47 |
| arquebus | Jeffl- the distro installed in aspire one is for idiots, you should get rid of it, however here is an article on how to make it at least manageable http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/09/05/ten_aspire_one_tips/ | 01:47 |
| gus | can unused space on a tmpfs partition be used by other programs as free RAM ? | 01:47 |
| Godstrong | so I think i'm going to get the new dell netbook, but not sure | 01:47 |
| Jeffl | arquebus i installed ubuntu - but ran into a problem and now have to reinstall it. is there a repair OS option in a ubuntu install cd? | 01:47 |
| Agent_bob | gus no | 01:48 |
| arquebus | www.aspireoneuser.com this is your best bet for info | 01:48 |
| gus | Agent_bob, is there any fs with that feature ? | 01:49 |
| Agent_bob | gus if you are asking if the unused ram is still avalable to the kernel and ultimatly to other apps then yes. but the tmpfs is not avalable as ram | 01:49 |
| chrislang | hello | 01:50 |
| Jeffl | I uninstalled Evolution e-mail program and now lost my taskbars and such. How can I get this back? | 01:50 |
| Godstrong | so would it be a good idea to buy a dell netbook with ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| Jeffl | All I have is a blank desktop. nothing else | 01:50 |
| Jeffl | Godstrong yes | 01:51 |
| SebNaitsabes | Godstrong: Dell sell netbooks with Ubuntu? even in UK? | 01:51 |
| chrislang | i need some help tooo | 01:51 |
| Jeffl | atleast it will work out the box and be dells supported | 01:51 |
| xmpp | why does apt-get fails to fetch anything ? /etc/apt/sources.list seems fine. | 01:51 |
| Jeffl | I uninstalled Evolution e-mail program and now lost my taskbars and such. How can I get this back? <--------------- anyone? | 01:51 |
| gus | Agent_bob, but if you make a tmpfs and dont use some space you are wasting ram | 01:51 |
| emma | /w 3 | 01:51 |
| Agent_bob | gus no. | 01:52 |
| Jeffl | ????????? | 01:52 |
| ASrock | Jeffl: have you tried going to the bottom till you see the little arrows that change the size of windows and such | 01:52 |

| plb_ | join ##otw | 01:53 |
| plb_ | er | 01:53 |
| gus | hmm ok | 01:53 |
| makey2 | gus if you like, you can perhaps use ram memory from your oversupplied video memory | 01:53 |
| Agent_bob | gus it will report avalable space as the total ram but of course will be limited to only the unused portion of said ram | 01:53 |
| chrislang | any one willing to help me with some simple info | 01:53 |

| Agent_bob | KenBW22 any idea when that package was added ? | 02:28 |
| ekow1 | pdub: know any alternatives then? | 02:28 |
| MrPickle | looking for a file browser/ program/ terminal command that I can use to directly access an interface with a usb:// location. does anyone know of such a thing? | 02:28 |
| jpiccolo | ckyle: so compiling it staticly will make it like all encased at a single binary | 02:29 |
| KenBW22 | Agent_bob: since day 1 of ubuntu id assume | 02:29 |
| joeb3_ | jpiccolo, right. | 02:29 |
| crdlb | Agent_bob: gnome 2.20, which was first in ubuntu 7.10 | 02:29 |
| Agent_bob | KenBW22 then you'd be mistaken | 02:29 |
| KenBW22 | Agent_bob: actually, its not here either | 02:29 |
| crdlb | KenBW22: you'd assume incorrectly :P | 02:29 |
| jpiccolo | joeb3_: ok thanks | 02:29 |
| ckyle | jpiccolo - yes, it doesn't do dynamic loading of libraries when u do that | 02:29 |

| Agent_bob | crdlb if there isn't something i have just overlooked i really don't think i have much use for gnome, it should never be that hard just to change a colour. and with most DE's it's not. i'll just use something else xfce4 maybe. | 02:33 |
| pdub | ekowl - not sure which of those fixed it though :) | 02:33 |
| KenBW22 | Agent_bob: might be better reinstalling Ubuntu | 02:33 |

| EmersonGomesRibe | chiz: sure... what`s your prob? | 02:33 |
| KenBW22 | Agent_bob: the problem isnt with Gnome, theres obviously something wrong with your install | 02:34 |
| Agent_bob | crdlb i tried to tell KenBW22 not to waste time on it if it wasn't a simple cure. | 02:34 |
| ekow1 | pdub: good to know thanks | 02:34 |

| dashnu | usser: k thx | 02:36 |
| MrPickle | kenbw22, the device is installed and recognized, but not working properly, so i'd like to get in there and see what i can do with elbow grease and binary. I know how to code for this machine [its a printer], just not how to access any kind of interface it might have at the url | 02:36 |
| chrislang | KenBW22 is that all i had to do ? | 02:36 |
| crdlb | Agent_bob: that is configurable by the gtk+ theme. You may be able to override the theme's colors in system > preferences > themes > customize, but that may have been added in a later version than dapper | 02:36 |
| MrPickle | joeb3_, what is midnight commander? | 02:36 |
| KenBW22 | MrPickle: you do realise things are stored in /media/<device name>? | 02:36 |

| joeb3_ | MrPickle, type "mc". You may have it installed. | 02:37 |

| Agent_bob | brb | 02:39 |
| pen | Jerald, or 8.04? | 02:39 |
| |chiz| | joeb3_: yeah the folder on the server is pretty much 777 | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | Jerald: It will probably take twice as much downloading to go from 7.04 to 8.04 as to download an 8.04 install CD | 02:39 |
| KenBW22 | Jerald: 7.04 is out of date | 02:39 |
| Jerald | I don't know, I gave up on 7.04 and went back to Windows, I have tended to do that with all Linux distros | 02:39 |

| incognito1 | does it matter that this computer has a 64 bit version of ubuntu? | 02:52 |

| Agent_bob | crdlb input box background color ? so you have to change a "theme" to change that ??? and yes changing colour in xfce is easy enough. crdlb 6.10 eeh i just missed it didn't i ;/ but it seems odd that something as old as gnome would be that far behind in such a simple field as colour change ... ;/ | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: You need a space between the two arguments "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" | 02:53 |
| kitche | omar: so 64bit laptops are really 32bit with 64bit addons unless you use one of the newest processors out really | 02:53 |

| buffer_ | in my web-browser alot of images show up dark until I put my mouse over them?? Then they show up | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: chroot /mnt | 03:01 |
| arvind_khadri | incognito1, no need of that | 03:01 |
| === Tobark1 is now known as Tobark | ||
| Jordan_U | arvind_khadri: He has something mounted on /mnt please do not suggest that he create more directories there | 03:02 |
| incognito1 | Jordan_U: bash: chroot: command not found | 03:02 |
| arvind_khadri | Jordan_U, then unmount it | 03:02 |
| MXIIA | usser, all I see in that file is "MXIIA-Desktop" | 03:03 |
| Jordan_U | arvind_khadri: It is most likely the partition he needs, might as well try it before unmounting it | 03:03 |
| dvlper | hi everybody | 03:03 |
| arvind_khadri | Jordan_U, ok | 03:03 |
| slap | Where does users-admin (gnome-system-tool) store the informations about privileges? | 03:03 |
| usser | MXIIA, in the /etc/hostname thats the only thing that should be | 03:03 |
| alephant | Hi all... | 03:03 |
| usser | MXIIA, check /etc/hosts | 03:03 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: What is the output of "echo $PATH" ? | 03:03 |
| pdub | MXIIA: sudo nano /etc/hostname | 03:03 |
| alephant | ...anybody know whether I can use xrandr to change which output is "preferred" or "primary"? | 03:03 |
| kitche | Jordan_U: usually mounting something to /mnt can mess up livecds just saying for future reference I know at least with the systemrescuecd the cd will freeze up anyways I m going to bed :) | 03:04 |
| alephant | E.g. I want my gnome-panel to start on the laptop LCD rather than on the external CRT. | 03:04 |
| buffer_ | Anyone know why when I load web pages the images don't appear unless I put my mouse over them? | 03:04 |
| pdub | MXIIA: 127.0.0.1 MXIIA-Desktop | 03:04 |

| EvolutionXtinct | anyone think they can help me out w/ a kerberos5/samba problem? | 03:05 |
| EvolutionXtinct | stupid kerberos5 won't connect to the domain, yet net ads testjoin works PERFECTLY | 03:05 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i can ping the full DNS name of any system on my network. | 03:05 |
| EvolutionXtinct | cmd | 03:05 |
| incognito1 | Jordan_U: did you get the output i pasted to you? | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: Yes | 03:08 |
| EvolutionXtinct | wow so no one can help nice | 03:09 |
| EvolutionXtinct | lol | 03:09 |
| EvolutionXtinct | *sigh* | 03:09 |
| Agent_bob | crdlb well it can be adjusted the same way as gnome via theme but i'm sure i found another way before let me keep looking | 03:09 |
| incognito1 | Jordan_U: what do i do, im lost | 03:10 |
| `Matir | If I get segfaults showing up in 'dmesg', how can I debug those? They're all from sudo... | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: It seems like chroot isn't on the LiveCD, but that doesn't make sense. Even though your $PATH looks right try giving the full path to chroot ie run "/bin/chroot /mnt" | 03:12 |
| chrislang | KenBW22 you still here? | 03:12 |
| incognito1 | Jordan_U: iv used chroot with this same live cd on my gentoo box | 03:12 |
| ntendo | okay, seriously. Firefox + Flash = fail. | 03:12 |
| ntendo | can someone PLEASE Suggest a fix for this? | 03:12 |
| rjefferson | i fixed it over here | 03:13 |
| incognito1 | ntendo flash doesent work at all? | 03:13 |
| chrislang | KenBW22 after restart i went to start up the pc just shuts down after start up | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | ntendo: Flash 10 is a little better | 03:13 |
| ntendo | no, firefox has crashed 7 times on ONE youtube page I'm trying to watch | 03:13 |
| rjefferson | there's a howto in the forums that helped me | 03:13 |
| rjefferson | 'i had that exact problem | 03:13 |
| ntendo | sometimes it will work sometimes it wont. | 03:13 |
| incognito1 | ntendo in the address bar of firefox type about:plugins | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | ntendo: Browse youtube from Totem, it's better quality h.264 video anyway :) | 03:13 |
| incognito1 | what version of flash does it say your using | 03:14 |
| buffer_ | Anyone know why when I load web pages the images don't appear unless I put my mouse over them? | 03:14 |
| ntendo | well there's a website I want to get to as well that's all flash | 03:14 |
| ntendo | flash 9 | 03:14 |
| chrislang | ARgh | 03:14 |
| ^Phantom^ | is 8 gigs enough for ubuntu? | 03:15 |
| buffer_ | yeap | 03:15 |
| incognito1 | ntendo thats the same version thats on my gentoo box, i dont understand why its not working. do you have any other plug ins installed? | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | ^Phantom^: Yes, more than | 03:15 |
| joeb3_ | jpiccolo, I had to ... export LDFLAGS="-static" before compiling to make it compile statically. | 03:15 |
| ntendo | nothing exotic other than the totem video player. | 03:15 |
| Agent_bob | crdlb ok i conceed. it is throught themes sorry, my bad. but that doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't be that hard ;) | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | ^Phantom^: More than enough that is, I just realized that might not have been clear :) | 03:15 |
| ntendo | I seriously came very close to sending this computer through a wall of drywall. | 03:16 |
| incognito1 | ntendo dont do that, its a fixable problem | 03:16 |
| Agent_bob | so i wont use xfce or gnome then... </shrugs> | 03:16 |
| crdlb | Agent_bob: you know that there's a new LTS out? :) | 03:17 |
| Agent_bob | crdlb yeah but i'm on dialup | 03:17 |
| Jordan_U | Agent_bob: Order a CD | 03:17 |
| ntendo | well...I'd love to have this fixed | 03:17 |
| incognito1 | ntendo: that totem video player whats it for | 03:17 |
| EvolutionXtinct | its crap | 03:17 |
| ntendo | mpg/avi videos. | 03:17 |
| EvolutionXtinct | just remove it and get like mplayer | 03:17 |
| EvolutionXtinct | or vlc | 03:17 |
| Agent_bob | Jordan_U i have seriously thought about that. maybe the debian boxed set | 03:18 |
| EvolutionXtinct | ntendo: your not the only one | 03:18 |
| ntendo | vlc I have | 03:18 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i'm about to seriously chuck mine out the building | 03:18 |
| incognito1 | ntendo: try disabling that totem video player plug in and restart firefox see if it does the same thing | 03:18 |
| ^Phantom^ | oh also can i dual-boot it with windows without fucking up the windows installation i'm on right now? | 03:18 |
| ntendo | well I never know when it's going to crash. | 03:18 |
| incognito1 | try deleting your macromedia folder and clearing out your cache too | 03:18 |
| ntendo | ^phantom^ yes I've done it before | 03:18 |
| * EvolutionXtinct wonderse if he'll ever find SAMBA/kerberos5 help.... not even #samba is responding | 03:19 | |
| the_unmaker | hi I just setupubuntu on my laptop two problems: 1 I never assigned root password 2 my laptop wont use the attached monitor and im not sure how to get it to ati rage 1250 card | 03:19 |
| Agent_bob | Jordan_U it would do any good to order a ubuntu install cd because as soon as it was installed it would want to dl 1g of updates. plus i'd want a few packages that aren't on the installer | 03:19 |
| ntendo | I'll use vlc | 03:19 |
| ntendo | thanks guys. | 03:19 |
| the_unmaker | help! | 03:19 |
| incognito1 | hope it works out for you ntendo | 03:20 |
| Fondor1 | Agent_bob: how do you use ANY linux version then? | 03:20 |
| Fondor1 | the_unmaker: you never really create a root password, because the root account is disabled. | 03:20 |
| ntendo | thx | 03:20 |
| incognito1 | Jordan_U: you got any idea why i cant chroot to /sda2 | 03:21 |
| Agent_bob | Fondor1 i don't have "much" trouble with dapper. most of the updates are done there. very few bugs being fixed in 6.6 any more. | 03:21 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: Well, I have no idea why chroot is not being found for you, once you figure that out you are setup to chroot and fix the problem. Might ask in #gentoo | 03:21 |
| ^Phantom^ | the only thing keeping me from doing it is that ubuntu is that it freaking SUCKS DONKEY BALLS | 03:21 |
| Fondor1 | Wouldn't it just be a matter of leaving it on overnight for a few nights to get the packages you need? | 03:21 |
| incognito1 | okay Jordan_U thanks man | 03:21 |
| FarmCretin | hi, i'm having a wee bit of trouble. i want to list all my movie files, but not the *.nfo or the *cd* or *cd2* so far i got ls | grep -v "*nfo"|grep -v "*cd2*" | 03:21 |
| Jordan_U | incognito1: np | 03:21 |
| hoarycripple | I have an executable in /usr/bin: /usr/bin/[ | 03:21 |
| === omar is now known as Holydiver | ||
| hoarycripple | what is this command and what does it do? | 03:22 |
| === Holydiver is now known as Nazgar0th | ||
| FarmCretin | but it still has them... | 03:22 |
| Fondor1 | the_unmaker: to do a command with root permissions, type: "sudo [yourcommandhere]" | 03:22 |
| Fondor1 | it will prompt you for a password, which is the same as your user password | 03:22 |
| Agent_bob | Fondor1 so it's fairly stable and usable and consistant. it's just new versions/releases that are updated every other day and i don't have the bandwidth for that. | 03:22 |
| Agent_bob | <Fondor1> Wouldn't it just be a matter of leaving it on overnight for a few nights to get the packages you need? <<<weeks not days. | 03:23 |
| ^Phantom^ | i installed it on my moms laptop and it worked nice and fast and all | 03:23 |
| saikobee | hoarycripple: it's for shell scripting | 03:23 |
| hoarycripple | is it a builtin? | 03:23 |
| Fondor1 | Agent_bob: Ah, yea, makes sense. | 03:23 |
| ^Phantom^ | but it fucking sucked | 03:23 |
| jpiccolo | joeb3_: hey thanks | 03:23 |
| jpiccolo | joeb3_: i was watching my roommate play gta | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | hoarycripple: It's the test command | 03:23 |
| quaal | is there no way to hide this annoying calendar in thunderbird? | 03:24 |
| ckyle | when i use cp in bash to copy a file, it just creates a hard-link, which i didn't realize but the inode numbers are the same so i'm sure. This seems to be default behaviour on my system (hardy), can i set it to not default to a hard link but make a separate file? | 03:24 |
| hoarycripple | ahh, I see. thank you. | 03:24 |
| jrib | ^Phantom^: please watch your language | 03:24 |
| ^Phantom^ | couldn't install ANYTHING at all | 03:24 |
| Agent_bob | Fondor1 debian stable is more along the line of something that would be usable for a dialup user or L user as they say. | 03:24 |
| Fondor1 | Agent_bob: I must admit I'm fairly spoiled - I'm on a university network at the moment, where debian builds happen to be mirrored from time to time...! | 03:25 |
| Jordan_U | hoarycripple: It's kind of funny, '[' is exactly the same as 'test' but it requires a ']' at the end for no reason other than to make it look like actual syntax i.e "if [ $foo = "bar" ] " :) | 03:25 |
| Fondor1 | Agent_bob: I tent to forget that a package that may take me 10 seconds to get can take another 100 times that :( | 03:26 |
| usser | ckyle, u sure u dont have alias setup somewhere for cp, ie cp = cp -i cause what u describing should in no way be default but rather is set by -i flag | 03:26 |
| usser | ckyle, try to run cp with a full path | 03:26 |
| Agent_bob | ok i'll leave now and stop cluttering and confusing things in here. only really came in to mention the issue with "mc" not being able to read dirs with 16k files in them over fish:// so later folks. :) | 03:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | stupid installer thing would just say can't download and install because your computer is not supported | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | hoarycripple: And by at the end I mean as the last parameter, you can use '[' outside of shell scripts though it hardly ever is | 03:26 |
| Fondor1 | later bob | 03:27 |
| jrib | ^Phantom^: are you looking for help with something in particular? | 03:27 |
| ^Phantom^ | that's why i'm not about to permanently partition 8 gigs of my harddrive for something that is broken and not fully functional | 03:27 |
| squarebracket | where does ubuntu store session information? | 03:28 |
| jrib | ^Phantom^: if you are just here to rant, take it elsewhere. If you want support, ask a question | 03:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | i'll only be able to use the default installed apps and such | 03:29 |
| killux | hey guys, has any release of intrepid been released? | 03:29 |
| jrib | killux: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid | 03:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | WITHOUT the option to install additional apps or update the OS | 03:30 |
| ^Phantom^ | i mean | 03:30 |
| ^Phantom^ | all i'm trying to say is that i want to be able to actually update the OS and install apps on it | 03:31 |
| jrib | ^Phantom^: okay, do you want help with that? It seems like you are just on a rant | 03:31 |
| ^Phantom^ | i had to put windows back on her laptop because it ubuntu wouldn't let us install anything or update the OS | 03:32 |
| jrib | ^Phantom^: seriously, you must be a bot. I'm going to have to just ban if you don't stop | 03:32 |
| ^Phantom^ | my point is that I don't want to end up in that same situation on my laptop | 03:33 |
| dewman | hi all | 03:33 |
| ^Phantom^ | mine is quite similar to hers | 03:33 |
| jrib | ^Phantom^: that's not normal. You need to just install and come here if you have a problem | 03:33 |
| ^Phantom^ | and my main fear of installing ubuntu is that the same thing will happen again | 03:33 |
| dewman | i am not able to install anything as well as open add/remove...error- sudo apt-get install putty | 03:34 |

| dewman | jrib, any solution? | 03:40 |
| ckyle | usser: false alarm with my "cp" command thing... i just wrote a prog to check the inode and they are different... dumb mistake | 03:40 |
| alnspp | i installed 8.04 | 03:40 |
| usser | ^Phantom^, how were u not able to get internet on that laptop intel wifi cards are very well supported | 03:40 |

| dewman | jrib, yes | 03:41 |
| Jordan_U | alnspp: Might try 8.04.1 it was released a few days ago and has a lot of improvements ( it even comes with Ubuntu Netbook Remix y default ) | 03:41 |
| Leefmc | Jordan_U: Just slow performance. Specifically the fact that the performance hasn't changed from my 3 year old laptop, to my current gen Quad Mac Pro. Is this a limitation of X? | 03:41 |
| jrib | dewman: and did you run the commands they have there in the "Adding the Repositories" section? | 03:41 |
| SvenGee | I'm trying to install 8.04.1 Server on a Dell PowerEdge 1550, but I keep getting the error "the ./dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages file failed the MD5 checksum verification" when checking the CD. Install aborts at some point, I have verified the MD5 checksum of the ISO and have verified written data with two discs, but the problem still persists. | 03:41 |
| Leefmc | Jordan_U: And by performance, i mean piss slow at 4-8 frames a sec. | 03:41 |
| dewman | jrib, can i get those links once again | 03:42 |
| alnspp | Do I have to reinstall or just upgrade? | 03:42 |

| Goose | I loaded ubuntu on my new laptop and it totally _died_, I have to boot with DSL now and use gparted to remove the ubuntu partition and revery back to Vista x.x How can I disable GRUB? | 04:10 |
| rahh | uninstall it from windows vista | 04:10 |
| rahh | in programs and futures | 04:10 |
| Goose | GRUB? | 04:11 |
| * Goose questions rahh's idea | 04:11 | |
| Goose | GRUB isn't a program | 04:11 |
| Goose | it's the partition booter | 04:11 |
| rahh | no, ubuntu itself | 04:11 |
| hvgotcodes | joeb3_ i see / /boot /home and then a comment with swap in it with a mount point of none | 04:11 |
| rahh | once you uninstall it, grub will be gone with it | 04:11 |
| ckyle | what is the syscall for interrogating which file systems are on a box? For instance, i have ReiserFS and ext3 and want to be able to grab either file system and start walking its dirs. thx | 04:11 |
| joeb3_ | hvgotcodes, then you don't have swap. | 04:11 |
| vbman11 | rahh: unless he is using wubi he can't do that | 04:11 |
| rahh | how did you guys get past setup (hd0) | 04:11 |
| rahh | it gives me error 11 | 04:12 |
| rahh | L. | 04:12 |
| rahh | like when i root (hd0,4) | 04:12 |

| Goose | rahh: how exactly do I "uninstall from vista"? | 04:12 |
| rahh | if you're using wubi in the first place | 04:13 |
| rahh | would anyone help me get past this stupid issue? | 04:13 |
| Nazgar0th | what issue ? | 04:13 |
| joeb3_ | InHisName, you'll probably have to manually edit the xorg.conf. I had to do that with a dell monitor plugged into the video port on a laptop. | 04:13 |
| Goose | rahh: not quite understanding you.. is it literally a GUI menu I can access while booted in vista? and if so, where? | 04:13 |
| rahh | i just installed ubuntu into my vista windows, and now when i reboot after the three first screens, it boots into grub | 04:14 |
| rahh | so i did root (hd0,4) | 04:14 |
| rahh | and it worked | 04:14 |
| rahh | but when i try to setup (hd0) it do not | 04:14 |

| Leefmc | Flannel: Bit OT, but what are file arguments called? ie, "somefile.py -option value" | 04:17 |
| vbman11 | goose: boot in to the live cd and remove ubuntu, I think there is a remove option in admin onn the live cd | 04:17 |
| InHisName | joeb3_: My digital keeps being primary and more resolution than the dell. 21" dell 19" flat prefer to be secondary. | 04:17 |
| Goose | vbman11: will it remove GRUB as well, so it'll boot normally like it used to? | 04:17 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: that'd just be an arguement to the python script, not an argument to that file. | 04:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Its universal isn't it? Same for bash | 04:17 |
| puff | Anybody know how I can export/import my amarok playlists from a backup of my old system to my new install? | 04:17 |
| joeb3_ | hvgotcodes, line 13 shows your swap. | 04:18 |
| vbman11 | goose: grub is stored on the ubuntu partition by default so it will | 04:18 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: What do you mean? | 04:18 |
| Goose | thanks vbman11 | 04:18 |
| Goose | you'll see me back if that doesn't work :/ | 04:18 |
| hvgotcodes | joeb3_ 13 appears to be cdrom; 11-12 are swap? | 04:18 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: "somebashfile -option value" or "somebashfile argument", its the same way you use the python arguments. But im just wondering on terminology, in my docs im writing "file arguments", and im not that pleased with it heh. Can you think of anything better to call them? | 04:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: They're either parameters to the script itself, or parameters to the scripting engine executing those scripts. | 04:19 |
| joeb3_ | hvgotcodes, 13. UUID=8306b27d-b783-4793-b57c-8b8b151c4d3b none swap sw | 04:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: they're called "arguments" | 04:19 |
| hvgotcodes | joeb3_ either way -- i have swap right? don't want to have to reinstall, but want suspend to ram to work... | 04:20 |
| mortuis99 | hello i have just installed and am trying to write to a partition and can not can someone help.... Do i just need to set permissions or? | 04:20 |
| joeb3_ | hvgotcodes, yes you have swap. It's lvm. | 04:20 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: So file arguments isn't bad eh? Just feels wrong, but command line arguments seems a bit off too :) | 04:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Anyway, thanks for the OT discussion :) | 04:21 |
| vbman11 | goose: I'm going to reboot | 04:21 |
| hvgotcodes | joeb3_ sweet | 04:21 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: they're arguments. Command line sure, file arguments no. | 04:21 |

| rahh | jerald: then do apt-get install bind | 04:41 |
| goose | need root to install | 04:41 |
| goose | jerald, | 04:41 |
| rahh | sudo makes you run it as root. | 04:41 |
| rahh | if you're under root premission already, then you don't need to sudo | 04:42 |
| jerald | Ok | 04:42 |

| rahh | jerald: yeah. | 04:42 |

| rahh | linux has a port for it, it can see windows network too | 04:43 |
| goose | jerald, networking software is preloaded | 04:43 |
| goose | is it wireless? | 04:43 |
| rahh | last time i checked | 04:43 |
| Kira | Whats the most secure on the fly encrpytion? I am currently using "encfs" and I was wondering what it would take to crack it and if there is anything better. Thanks. | 04:43 |

| rahh | what is what? | 04:44 |
| Kira | rahh, yeah I was just checking it out, it seems to have the same as encfs and more (filesystem, OS). Im considering it, but I thought Id ask you guys | 04:44 |
| jerald | Samba? Okay. | 04:44 |

| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT you did do ndiswrapper -i *drivername in inf format* | 05:30 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, yes I have the .sys and .inf file | 05:30 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT did you do that? | 05:31 |
| complexity__ | Jack - thanx for the info | 05:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:31 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | patrick_: then that is the "hardy" (codename) relase - the current version | 05:31 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, I don't think that was the command I used, let me check | 05:31 |

| greenman | Okay so I tried this and it didn't work. Just sat there: sudo apt-get install $(php5)=$(5.1.3) | 05:32 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, I used sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/driver.inf, driver being the name of the driver inf | 05:32 |
| kaiwen | Jack_Sparrow is your connection open? | 05:32 |
| complexity__ | Jack; Mine worked OOB - and it was the dreaded Broadcom | 05:32 |
| greenman | Is that wrong? | 05:32 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT and it goes through successfull right? | 05:32 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, yes | 05:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | complexity__ there are something like 4 different versions of the bcm43xx | 05:33 |
| ere4si | wizardslovak: try sudo apt-get --reinstall install "packages" - the same ones you were trying to get before | 05:33 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT ok do this depmod -a | 05:33 |
| complexity__ | I was suprised! | 05:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kaiwen What? | 05:33 |
| trussn | kevin : what are you using to connect with your wireless network | 05:33 |
| complexity__ | wow! | 05:33 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT sudo depmod -a i mean | 05:33 |
| complexity__ | Guess I got lucky :D | 05:33 |
| wizardslovak | ere4si: well i dont know names of packages | 05:33 |
| kevin_ | do you mean what is my wireless card called? or my ISP? | 05:33 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, nada nothing comes up | 05:34 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | greenman: yes. the $(xxx) form is a hint that you substitute the appropriate values. So, in your case you want: "sudo apt-get install php5=5.1.3" this won't work, though, because that version is not in the repositories | 05:34 |
| sjea | hi all i read a few post on changing my splash screen being vary new to this is there any easy ways ? | 05:34 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT that's fine | 05:34 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | greenman: so if you are sure you need that specific version, you will likely have to install it yourself | 05:34 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT then do modprobe -i ndiswrapper | 05:34 |
| greenman | ushimitsudoki1, so you can't get 5.1.3 now? | 05:34 |
| wizardslovak | ere4si: whatever i type it says dpkg was interrupted | 05:34 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT with sudo | 05:34 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, Question would it matter if the .inf was named differant from the .sys? | 05:34 |

| greenman | ushimitsudoki1, won't that run roughshod over ubuntu's install though? I ran into that problem using gentoo if you installed something by yourself, it screwed with the os installed stuff | 05:35 |
| ere4si | wizardslovak: another go - this time sudo apt-get -f install - no packages just -f install | 05:35 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT do ndiswrapper -l and tell me what you see | 05:35 |

| wizardslovak | ere4si: "dpkg was interrupted ..." | 05:36 |
| wizardslovak | :(:( | 05:36 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | greenman: no no you can install to /opt or somewhere and only call that version specifically when you need to. this is needed sometimes with java for example. you have to be careful, but it is certainly possible | 05:36 |
| kaiwen | oh woops sry Jack_Sparrow, who does though? | 05:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kaiwen someone complexity__ was talking with | 05:36 |

| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT are you sure that's the right driver? | 05:37 |
| greenman | ushimitsudoki1, I just want to use piwik which uses 5.1.3. I've got blogs and hosted sites for people so I can't afford to screw stuff up. :) I can't really run to php's, so I guess I just can't use piwik at the moment... | 05:37 |

| Jack_Sparrow | patrick_ enable universe if it is not already | 05:39 |
| patrick_ | ok let me try that jack | 05:39 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | greenman: well i don't know about all that, but the piwik page says "at least PHP 5.1" so you might want to at least give it a try with the current php5 version ... getting off topic tho so good luck with that | 05:39 |
| greenman | So, seeing as how I can't use piwik, can someone recommend an apache log file analyzer that's easy to install and give usefull reports? | 05:39 |
| wizardslovak | ere4si: well it says that a lot packages are only half configured | 05:40 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, yes laptop, dell inspiron 2200 | 05:40 |

| patrick_ | thx | 05:40 |
| Winston_SmithVT | It's not internal, it's a pcmcia card would that matter? | 05:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | patrick_ remember to sudo apt-get update once you enable universe | 05:41 |
| Winston_SmithVT | kaiwen, I have the internal card turned off, it's broken | 05:41 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT maybe, pcmcia controller maybe a problem idk | 05:41 |

| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT do this lspci | grep net | 05:43 |
| kaiwen | Winston_SmithVT tell me what you see | 05:43 |
| ere4si | wizardslovak: well dpkg --configure -a has always worked here - don't know enough to suggest more... | 05:43 |

| zubumufu | Has anybody here done the LUKS full disk encryption with a Dell machine? | 06:11 |
| zubumufu | I'm about to buy a Dell 530N. | 06:11 |
| patrick_ | oh ok thx let me try | 06:11 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | patrick_: that's not going to work. you have have "root" permissions to install something. to get this permission you have to use "sudo" in front of the command | 06:11 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | i type too slow | 06:11 |
| zubumufu | I want to know if it'll be a problem. | 06:11 |
| adamonline45 | ushimitsudoki1: Oooh, neat! That shows me the current kernel Hz! Thank you 8) Unfortunately I'm on 6.06, so it's at 100 (surprised I am, I thought it defaulted to 250)... Are YOU perchance on Hardy Heron? | 06:12 |
| Flannel | zubumufu: That's rather specific, google might be a better resource for you. | 06:12 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | adamonline45: i am, but i am running a real-time kernel so mine is 1000HZ | 06:12 |
| patrick_ | oh dang it worked!!!!!! | 06:12 |
| zubumufu | Because full disk encryption is available on the alternate CD, but I imagine the custom Dell cd is a LiveCD. | 06:12 |
| patrick_ | finally i been trying to do this all day | 06:12 |
| patrick_ | thx guys | 06:12 |
| zubumufu | I've been trying to Google it, but I can't find any results. | 06:13 |
| jska | Anyone know how to play *.pmp media file (from Sony PSP)? | 06:13 |
| adamonline45 | ushimitsudoki1: ooh neat, that's what I want, hehe... I take it you've extensively modified your kernel? | 06:13 |
| MasterFruityLoop | zubumufu: Google what? | 06:13 |
| MasterFruityLoop | jska: Consider VLC. | 06:13 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | adamonline45: no no there is a -rt kernel in the repositories. simple to install | 06:13 |
| zubumufu | Full disk encryption on a Dell Inspiron 530N. | 06:13 |
| MasterFruityLoop | You want to? Why? | 06:13 |
| adamonline45 | ushimitsudoki1: Oh realllly now | 06:13 |
| Flannel | zubumufu: Ah, yes. That's correct. You won't be able to use the dell custom CD to install LUKS, you'll have to use the alternate CD. Whether you can get the dell stuff later, I'm not sure. | 06:13 |
| zubumufu | Dang | 06:14 |
| adamonline45 | ushimitsudoki1: That sounds promising! Do I have to compile from source, or can I upgrade from 6.06 using some utility, do you know? | 06:14 |
| jska | MasterFruityLoop: I try with VLC,xine,mplayer,but not work | 06:14 |
| zubumufu | Buying Dell is supposed to make it easier. | 06:14 |
| MasterFruityLoop | Weird... | 06:14 |
| Gun_Smoke | What is dell adding to the install? | 06:14 |
| Fondor1 | sekyourbox: aptitude: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/aptitude.html | 06:14 |
| MasterFruityLoop | jska: Have you considered talking to the all knowing? | 06:14 |
| zubumufu | I dunno, drivers or something. | 06:15 |
| Flannel | Gun_Smoke: mp3 and dvd, I believe, plus who knows what else | 06:15 |
| lyk3n | hello | 06:15 |
| sekyourbox | thanks | 06:15 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | adamonline45: yes, give it a try. note that if you have compiled any drivers you will prob have to reinstall when you change kernels (like nvidia). You do not have to compile the -rt kernel. Not sure about 6.06 - Me, i would go ahead and upgrade to 8.04, but that might not be an option for you | 06:15 |
| xess | Dual monitors on a Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] any one know where to start? | 06:15 |
| Flannel | zubumufu: It does make it easier. I believe dell has their own repositories, which may be where you get those extras | 06:15 |
| zubumufu | Oh and it includes the DVD playback stuff on the Dell CD. | 06:15 |
| zubumufu | Yeah, I'm probably still going to get it, but I'm just bracing for the difficulty. | 06:16 |
| Flannel | zubumufu: I doubt it'll be difficult. But you should call and ask if they have a repository to enable you to install that stuff afterwards, or what. | 06:16 |
| zubumufu | Flannel: Yeah, that's a good idea. | 06:17 |
| adamonline45 | ushimitsudoki1: No, no, I am fine going to 8.04; I'm actually excited because last time I looked into it it was still in beta 8) By my question I mean, is it possible that I can just upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 -rt ? Or do you think I'd need to start anew? Oh, also, this is 6.06 server... do you know if there's an 8.04 -rt server version? (googling simultaneously, but direct help is sure a sweet nectar 8)) | 06:18 |
| tuxxy__ | hey anyone can help me, when i try to play and system sounds they wont work, but ever other type of sound works, MP3, flash etc | 06:18 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: You can upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 yes. But you should upgrade first, and then add the realtime kernel afterwards | 06:18 |
| drew_chicago | trying to use evolution as the mail client for gmail. trouble is it's downloading every e-mail I ever had in gmail. anyone know how to set it to just get NEW e-mail? | 06:18 |
| tuxxy__ | im using ALSA and the login logout sounds play fine when i actually logout but when i try to test any system sounds they wont work including those | 06:18 |
| tuxxy__ | and every other system sound wont work at all | 06:19 |
| lyk3n | try turning all of your sound outputs alsa | 06:19 |
| tuxxy__ | they are | 06:19 |
| tuxxy__ | i think its a bug | 06:19 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: There is no realtime server edition, but that doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. Server kernel has longer periods between interrupts over the desktop CD, and stuff like that. Sort of the opposite direction of the realtime kernel. Why are you interested in -rt anyway? | 06:19 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | adamonline45: i think you have to upgrade from one version to the next? not sure about that but i bet upgrade manager will walk you through it. I don't think the kernel is different between server and non-server versions, it is just the included packages (again not sure about that either). | 06:19 |
| Flannel | drew_chicago: That's not how IMAP works | 06:19 |
| lyk3n | this happens a lot and sorry to say there are a lot of fixes depending on the exact sound problem | 06:19 |
| lyk3n | another fix was to download alsa gui and make sure it is not muted | 06:20 |
| drew_chicago | flannel, so I have to download over 10,000 emails? | 06:20 |
| tuxxy__ | the exact problem is system sounds dont work except login/out but they only work when i do login, if i test them they dont play | 06:20 |
| Flannel | drew_chicago: You have to download 10,000 headers more likely. | 06:20 |
| tuxxy__ | its not I have alsa gui | 06:20 |
| drew_chicago | ok, maybe I should set it to just get the headers then | 06:20 |
| drew_chicago | thanks, if nothing else that'll save some time | 06:21 |

| Flannel | drew_chicago: Also you may want to set it to download all the bodies too, and just leave it running overnight or whatnot. Save you from having to do it in the future | 06:21 |
| tech0007 | patrick_: ctrl+alt and left/right arrow | 06:22 |
| tech0007 | patrick_: or use the mouse | 06:22 |
| lyk3n | patrick download advanced desktop effects in the add/remove programs | 06:22 |
| drew_chicago | flannel ok thanks, leaving it run at night should workout okay, thanks! | 06:22 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: That sounds acceptable. Installing a new kernel is "new" territory for me, and I hate to have downtime; but it should pay off! I am using this for a Counter-Strike: Source server. Do you suppose I should just go for the desktop version? I went with server edition to cut down on any overhead (even though I would just run in init 3 or 2 (hehe, man, it's been a while!) | 06:22 |
| lyk3n | then go to prefrences and enable | 06:22 |
| patrick_ | oh ok thx | 06:22 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: do you use this machine for your desktop as well? | 06:23 |
| tuxxy__ | where are system sounds located so i cna try manually play them | 06:23 |
| InHisName | I get this message, "I could not start your session and so I have . . " and then no desktop. How to fix this. | 06:23 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: Nope, purely for a dedicated CS server; all CLI... Doesn't even have a head... | 06:24 |
| lyk3n | tuxxy go to system prefrences sound | 06:24 |
| Ademan | is there a trivial way to mount fatx partitions in ubuntu? I don't see any references to a kernel module in synaptic, and i *assume* it's not compiled into the default kernel, can anyone confirm this and tell me how I would go about getting the appropriate fatx kernel module? | 06:24 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: I'd stick with the server kernel then, if your hardware supports it. | 06:24 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: So you might see why I went with server edition... But apparenly I mis-assumed the strengths of it!:O | 06:24 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: you'll get worse performance for that with the realtime kernel. | 06:25 |
| lyk3n | you can also double click on the sound icon and try different devices to see if they work | 06:25 |
| tuxxy__ | where are system sounds located so i cna try manually play them | 06:27 |
| rockets | hey | 06:27 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: Very well... Oh, really? Well, basically, I need to have at least 200 game updates/second (500 is ideal, but my rig sure as heck doesn't do THAT!)... Right now I'm artificially capped at 100 because of the kernel; and it's been really bad... When I was running my old custom kernel (up to a few months ago), I had 500 kernel Hz, and that was giving players an average of 50 updates/second (as opposed to ~25 now). | 06:28 |
| lyk3n | for anyone heres a fix for 8.04 sound http://dontfeedtheseagulls.com/2008/05/04/realtek-alc888-and-ubuntu-hardy-heron-low-audio-problem/ | 06:28 |
| WebWalker | good day everyone | 06:28 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: So, if I stick with the server edition (my preference, tbh), what are my options for increasing that kernel frequency? Is there a pre-made kernel for it, inthe same way that there is the -rt kernel for the desktop version? | 06:28 |
| lyk3n | other sound problems mostly tell you to install flashplugin non-free | 06:28 |
| tuxxy__ | i dont have problems with sound | 06:29 |
| tuxxy__ | the problem is system sound files wont play everything else will | 06:29 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: Try the generic kernel. It has interrupts scheduled closer together. | 06:29 |
| adamonline45 | ushimitsudoki1: I haven't forgotten, hehe! Thank you for you help; I've got a great base for research now 8) | 06:29 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: Is the generic kernel not the same that it comes with by default? | 06:29 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: The server kernel has longer interrupt periods (to allow more work to be done), but apparently you need more frequent ones. | 06:29 |
| L_inf1 | how do I remove the unused options in the grub window?? | 06:29 |
| ushimitsudoki1 | adamonline45: well good luck there sounds like Flannel has the good word on the matter | 06:30 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: the generic kernel is the default one now, yes. On Dapper it was -686 -386 -k7 etc, now they're all wrapped into one. -geeric | 06:30 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: Indeed, there are only a handful of 2D vectors and net packets that it has to deal with at each update... | 06:30 |
| lyk3n | tuxxy the sounds are disabled by default | 06:30 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: Oooh, okay. So, if I update to Hardy Heron, would that include a Kernel update to this Generic one? | 06:31 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: Alright, well, if generic isn't fast enough, you *could* try -rt but I'd definately *try* it first. And see if itsbetter or not. | 06:31 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: If you have -server installed now, you'll have -server installed then. | 06:31 |
| lyk3n | if you want to add sounds go to sytem click prefrences then click on the sounds tab | 06:31 |

| lacuna | anyone know if you can set global hotkeys in VLC? | 06:32 |
| tuxxy__ | the sound files at /usr/share/sounds work fine if i play them manually, but wont work if i test them or try to apply them | 06:33 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: ooh, ok. I'll have to find out how to change kernels then! Do you happen to know how I find out the different kernel frequencies of the -server -vs- the -generic kernels? Google is being minimally helpful in that regard... | 06:33 |
| Fondor1 | L_inf1: You need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst Make sure you save a backup of the file before you do any editing! | 06:33 |

| bryan | hello everyone, hope you're all having a good evening... Question on running Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881 on Ubuntu 8.04... Can anyone help? | 06:39 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/kernel | 06:39 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: Haha, I must owe you a couple brews by now... But, didn't you propose I stick with the server install? If I go from -server kernel to -generic kernel, will it still be a 'server' install? It looks like the comparison on that article is between Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop... | 06:41 |
| bryan | I have followed the instructions on SIerra Wireless's website up to the kernel patch part... wasn't sure if I need to patch the kernel on 8.04 or not... | 06:42 |
| Flannel | adamonline45: The kernel has nothing to do with the desktop environments (or lack thereof) installed. | 06:42 |
| bryan | http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=607 | 06:43 |
| adamonline45 | Flannel: That's what I suspected 8) Just that the desktop comes with -generic, so the numbers presented still answer my question, then! hehe :) | 06:43 |

| geirha | jerald: Intel cards only have open source drivers as far as I know. They usually work fairly well. Run « xrandr » in a terminal to list the possible resolutions | 07:04 |
| Fondor1 | Ubuntu is a good place to start jerald. Some things are different though - namely, it doesn't technically have a "control panel" like windows does | 07:04 |

| Fondor1 | jerald: do you have another system you can talk to us on, so you don't get a headache trying to read to us? ;) | 07:08 |
| Flannel | Emm: Why do you want to do that? | 07:08 |
| jerald | No | 07:08 |
| ph0rensic | jerald: What is the problem? | 07:09 |
| Emm | Flannel: Because I'm running dsh from another machine | 07:09 |
| jerald | Forget it... I am probably just going back to XP | 07:09 |
| Emm | and it needs sudo permissions to copy into the right directories | 07:09 |
| geirha | jerald: what did xrandr say the highest solution was? | 07:09 |
| ph0rensic | jerald: if that is what you want to do, I dont recommend it though | 07:09 |

| kevin__ | how do i enable use of restricted drivers? | 07:10 |
| Emm | nomad77: hmm | 07:10 |
| ph0rensic | kevin__: There is the restricted driver manager in the latest version of ubuntu | 07:10 |

| wookienz | hi, i am mounting a NAS device dir on my ubuntu machine. it mounts fine but when i try and cd to the mount i get permission denied. any ideas? | 07:10 |
| ph0rensic | kevin__: Is this for a gfx card? | 07:10 |
| kevin__ | wireless card | 07:11 |
| ph0rensic | kevin__: Oh I see, haven't had to deal with those in a while .. hopefully it detects your card | 07:11 |
| kevin__ | ph0rensic, all i see is a device driver (Brodcom B43 wireless dirver) and it says not in use....how do i make it "in use" | 07:11 |
| ph0rensic | kevin__: Cool it found it, is there not a checkmark you can select? | 07:12 |
| Emm | I've now uncommented that line | 07:12 |
| Emm | and added the user to the sudo group in /etc/group | 07:12 |
| Emm | should that suffice? | 07:12 |
| kevin__ | ph0rensic: its checked enabled..but it has a red light and says Not in use under status | 07:12 |
| ph0rensic | kevin__: Oh you may have to restart for that to enable | 07:12 |
| kevin__ | k let me try that, thanks ph0rensic | 07:13 |
| nomad77 | Emm: a logout and login is req'd for changes to apply irrc | 07:13 |
| ph0rensic | kevin__: Atleast thats how it was with my gfx card | 07:13 |
| kevin__ | brb, maybe? | 07:13 |
| steveydoteu | 64 bit proc, low ram at present, would i still be okay to install amd64 version of 8.04? | 07:13 |
| ph0rensic | wookienz: hey man is that a nas server or like a preconfigured tower like a buffalo, etc? | 07:13 |
| wookienz | ph0rensic: thecus...like a buffalo...raid 5 4 disk array | 07:14 |
| ph0rensic | steveydoteu: It may behoove you to stick with the x86 version | 07:14 |
| ph0rensic | wookienz: Ok, so that should rule out permissions based discrepancies on the NAS server, so it should be a mounting issue | 07:14 |
| steveydoteu | ph0rensic, why so? | 07:14 |
| steveydoteu | the lack of ram would hold me back? | 07:15 |
| ph0rensic | steveydoteu: I've fooled around with both, and the thing is there is more support for the x86 version.. and not too much performance gain | 07:15 |
| steveydoteu | aah | 07:15 |
| steveydoteu | I see | 07:15 |
| wookienz | ph0rensic: if the nas was ntfs can i still mount it? unsure if it is or not. | 07:15 |
| Debanman | Can i get a ban pls | 07:16 |
| Flannel | Debanman: Please take it up in #ubuntu-ops | 07:16 |
| ph0rensic | wookienz: Yes but you have to have parameters set so it knows how to mount it | 07:16 |
| steveydoteu | another question, if i just tried a distro upgrade to 8.10 via > update-manager -d and it failed, how do i clean up/rollback without having to completely reinstall the system | 07:16 |

| Guest86524 | does any 1 know ow to use the cube feature | 07:27 |
| Guest86524 | i already have it turned on | 07:27 |

| Guest86524 | thx happy hater | 07:29 |
| jerald | Flannel, I was asking for a specific date... I know it is suppose to be next month. | 07:29 |
| Flannel | jerald: the topic of that channel should have the release schedule. Usually said factoid does. | 07:30 |
| Guest86524 | happy | 07:30 |
| Lacrimstein | Ibex Alpha 5 actually works very well on my compute | 07:30 |
| Guest86524 | i dont think i have CCSM install do you know the cammand to install this? | 07:30 |
| Lacrimstein | there are a couple of bugs, but most of them are with applets | 07:31 |
| Lacrimstein | Guest86524: | 07:31 |
| jerald | Guest, its usually sudo apt-get install program | 07:31 |
| tenbytes | ug why is "grep ^Anchor Text:[.*chlamydia.*]$ " returning more then a single line that doesnt contain what i'm looking for | 07:31 |
| HappyHater | sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager i think | 07:31 |
| Lacrimstein | sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:31 |
| Guest86524 | oh wait i do have it installed | 07:31 |
| jerald | Does anyone know the name of the object dock program? | 07:31 |

| jerald | Lacrimstein, was that aimed at me? | 07:32 |
| Flannel | tenbytes: in Regexps, [] denote a character class. So anything inside of it becomes what its looking for, and its looking for one of them. | 07:32 |
| Guest86524 | ok i see the cube | 07:32 |
| tenbytes | hmm | 07:32 |
| Guest86524 | but it flips too fast | 07:32 |
| Lacrimstein | yes | 07:33 |
| tenbytes | Anchor HREF:--its returning these lines | 07:33 |

| jerald | Aren't there only two desktop workspaces though? | 07:33 |

| Gnuyen | is there an easy way to enable sftp but not ssh login? | 07:33 |
| HappyHater | ctrl+alt+leftclick&hold | 07:33 |

| Lacrimstein | you need compiz running for it | 07:35 |
| jerald | I need to get Compiz then... how? | 07:35 |
| Lacrimstein | youre using Hardy, right? | 07:36 |
| jerald | Yeah | 07:36 |
| HappyHater | Guest86524, not sure, try asking in #compiz-fusion | 07:36 |
| tenbytes | oh nevermind i fixed it | 07:36 |
| tenbytes | thanks anyway ;d | 07:36 |
| Lacrimstein | its in preferences->appearance | 07:36 |
| Lacrimstein | then in visual effects, select either normal or extra | 07:36 |
| Lacrimstein | that will enable compiz | 07:36 |
| Guest86524 | oh ok | 07:37 |
| jerald | I now have multiple docks open | 07:37 |

| === VirtualVelocity is now known as EvolutionXtinct | ||

| gaintsura | Flannel: not really | 07:39 |
| gaintsura | I've got a network that is set to 'open system' but its all the same key | 07:40 |
| kevin_ | Flannel: right, thats what i thought, but no | 07:40 |
| kevin_ | ditto gaintsura | 07:40 |
| jerald | What happens if I delete the bottom panel and want it back? | 07:40 |
| gaintsura | jerald: alt+f2 gnome-panel | 07:40 |
| * Flannel has only ever used that wifi manager thing once. And shared key worked for me. So, kevin_, I don't know then. | 07:41 | |
| Lacrimstein | right-click on the remaining panel, click "new panel" | 07:41 |
| jerald | Lacrimstein, the situation I meant was no panels at all | 07:41 |
| Lacrimstein | yeah, launch gnome-panel | 07:41 |

| Flannel | Teem: Edgy has reached EOL and is no longer supported. You should upgrade to something that is supported. | 08:18 |
| Teem | what is best way to upgrade 6.10.....? so wish i had installed 6.06 | 08:18 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | Teem | 08:19 |
| ubottu | Teem: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 08:19 |
| Flannel | Teem: There's a few issues with 6.10, since the repos have changed a little, but the method is more or less the same. You... just... need a workaround. You'll switch your repos over to : http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then follow that page, save the workaround. | 08:19 |
| oliver_ | !envy | 08:19 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 08:20 |
| rajec | flannel: when changing password what is <key> parameter? | 08:20 |

| starn | i used the eny package | 08:52 |
| starn | i'll try again.. | 08:52 |

| baba_melone | and 32 bit is already here | 08:53 |
| XGas | baba_melone: Not much, if you use Intel's processor. | 08:53 |
| XGas | bab_melone: If you use AMD, 64 bit on AMD is much much faster. | 08:53 |

| XGas | baba_melone: AMD's x86-64bit out performs Intel's x86-64, due to Intel not implemented /some/ instruction sets on 64bit | 08:57 |
| XGas | baba_melone: Which leads to: How fast it is compared to 32bit? | 08:57 |
| XGas | baba_melone: Not very much, 64bit has larger addressing range, and that means slower memory latency, Intel has the memory controller on chipset side(northbridge), AMD has it on CPU directly, result: AMD wins. | 08:58 |

| xess | I have a really annoying issue. The screen saver I have set to default crashes x-server and when I try to use the gui It loads the screen saver. Text based way out of this? | 09:24 |
| chimp | Is it possible to make ubuntu use a usb stick as its swap partition, im sick of hearing this crappy laptop thrash the harddrive | 09:24 |
| mojo | xess: figure out what the screen saver program is and where it's config lives... text file or gconf. gconf has text and gui edit tools avail | 09:25 |
| mojo | xess: meaning the screensaver runner, not the screensaver itself | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:25 |
| xess | The screen saver that starts up when I become ideal. | 09:26 |
| moncojhr | xess: you cant change to another screensaver that doesnt crash? | 09:26 |
| g33k_gir1 | my bf did something to my ubuntu machine a while back to make it boot into the 18 kernel, because virtualbox wasn't available for the 19 kernel at the time. now that it is available, what do I change to boot into the 19 now? | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | why not just turn the monitor off...power saver | 09:27 |
| xess | When I load the Gui tool it plays a thumb nail of said screen saver. | 09:27 |
| Flannel | g33k_gir1: /boot/grub/menu.lst most likely. | 09:27 |
| GamingX | ActionParsnip: Hey, you mind helping me out? | 09:27 |
| Flannel | g33k_gir1: If you have the 19 kernel installed, then the menu.lst would be what to edit. | 09:27 |
| xess | thumb nail crashes it too. | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | g33k_gir1: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit the default to point to whichever kernel you wanna boot | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | GamingX: sup | 09:27 |
| g33k_gir1 | awesome, thanks guys | 09:28 |

| Flannel | Guest2503: no | 09:41 |
| Guest2503 | oh ok i was a little worried that it would delete everything | 09:41 |
| mojo | roab: well you can sudo aptitude install openssh-server and config it to run on whatever port you want (that is availble), and config your gateway/router device to forward incoming port:80 packets to you computer's ip on the lan at port:whatever-you-used (does not HAVE to be 80, usually) | 09:42 |

| patrick_ | oh yea i messed with the add remove stuff | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | owh: same deal dude | 09:54 |

| HASS97 | My sound goes when I use frostwire, comes back when I do a restart | 10:10 |
| owh | Guest88357: Doh, that should be Ctrl Shift T :) | 10:10 |
| patrick_ | oh ok | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | HASS97: log a bug | 10:11 |
| patrick_ | thx | 10:11 |
| GamingX | owh: The installation seems to be going on. Its moved on to 87%. Guess I was hasty. | 10:11 |
| CaveSnow | owh: well, I looked at the screen, by sight, It surely wasn't a small resolution | 10:11 |
| kibibyte | hi | 10:11 |
| Guest88357 | owh, is there a way to change that? so it is only ctrl t? and also the ctrl shift v for paste? | 10:11 |
| kibibyte | im creating debian package with my program but | 10:11 |
| kibibyte | what if it depnds of red5 server | 10:11 |
| kibibyte | and there is no red5 server package | 10:11 |
| kibibyte | :/ | 10:11 |
| ikonia | kibibyte: make a red5 package then | 10:11 |
| HASS97 | Is there anyway I can fix it | 10:11 |
| owh | Guest88357: The tab is Ctrl + Shift + T | 10:11 |
| kibibyte | ok | 10:12 |
| kibibyte | ;/ | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kibibyte: ten the install will fail as deps are not made, the installer will handle that | 10:12 |
| Guest88357 | owh, yes i saw that, can i change it? | 10:12 |
| Flannel | kibibyte: it won't be installable. You may wish to ask future questions in #ubuntu-motu, and also don't use the enter key as punctuation. | 10:12 |
| HASS97 | I'll only log a bug if there is no other option | 10:12 |
| kibibyte | Flannel, so how to make it instalable | 10:12 |
| kibibyte | make own red5 pacjage? | 10:12 |
| kibibyte | package | 10:12 |
| Flannel | kibibyte: You'd have to satisfy the dependencies | 10:12 |
| owh | Guest88357: Yes, in Keyboard Shortcuts | 10:12 |
| kibibyte | ok | 10:13 |
| owh | Guest88357: (In the Edit menu) | 10:13 |
| Guest88357 | ok, thanks | 10:13 |
| ikonia | kibibyte: if your building a deb and it needs dependencies that don't exist, its most practical for you to package the dependencies | 10:13 |
| HASS97 | Can someone help me then? | 10:13 |
| owh | GamingX: Patience is a virtue :) | 10:13 |
| Guest88357 | owh and ikonia, thanks for your precious help. it is nice this channel has people like you | 10:13 |
| Guest88357 | i will be going | 10:13 |
| Guest88357 | ciao | 10:13 |
| owh | HASS97: I would look at dmesg output and /var/log/syslog before I did anything. | 10:14 |
| kibibyte | ikonia, but package the dependicies in one .deb or standalones? | 10:14 |
| DASPRiD | owh, cd image is fine now | 10:14 |
| DASPRiD | next try ;) | 10:14 |
| owh | DASPRiD: Excellent. | 10:14 |
| ikonia | kibibyte: standalone | 10:14 |
| ikonia | kibibyte: putting multiple packages in one deb is not a good idea | 10:14 |
| kibibyte | ok | 10:14 |
| HASS97 | owh: I dont really know what to look for in that lof | 10:15 |
| HASS97 | sorry i meant log | 10:15 |
| owh | HASS97: Well, look at the end of both, then launch the application, look again, then quit, then look again, see what gives. | 10:15 |
| owh | HASS97: You'll need to get some data to figure out what is happening. | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | HASS97: dmesg | tail | 10:16 |
| HASS97 | owh: OK Thanks will do that right away | 10:16 |
| owh | HASS97: I've not heard of what you describe, so you'll need to use some initiative. | 10:16 |

| leveld | can someone here help me with using emacs? I've got a question regarding frames. | 10:17 |
| outbackwifi | hi | 10:17 |
| moncojhr | how do i change what application the search application uses to open .mp3 ? | 10:17 |
| outbackwifi | moncojhr: which application is that? nautilus? | 10:18 |
| outbackwifi | moncojhr: or konqueror | 10:18 |
| outbackwifi | moncojhr: just change the file association preferences in either | 10:18 |
| moncojhr | outbackwifi: the thing under places->search (in ubuntu by defualt) | 10:18 |
| Flannel | leveld: You might have more luck in #emacs | 10:18 |
| outbackwifi | moncojhr: ah nautilus | 10:18 |
| leveld | Flannel: thanks | 10:18 |
| CaveSnow | owh: I didn't hae any means to check, I actually tried to evaluate this by sight. That is the icons and the whole gui couldn't have been on too small a resolution. Actually I am not sure that it is the 1280x800 that it should be (I use a widescreen laptop) but it is surely something not far off. | 10:19 |
| bullgard4 | What font of the Latin Script in the GNOME Character Map is the most complete (most ample) one? | 10:19 |
| owh | CaveSnow: Are you running Ubuntu on the laptop right now? | 10:19 |
| CaveSnow | no | 10:19 |
| owh | CaveSnow: Is this your only machine? | 10:20 |
| CaveSnow | owh: I am now under windows since Xubuntu is unusable | 10:20 |
| outbackwifi | moncojhr: would this help --> http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/03/ubuntu-linux-file-associations/ | 10:20 |
| owh | CaveSnow: Right - so, if you run the LiveCD, what happens? | 10:20 |
| CaveSnow | owh: well, more or less, But if it helps I have access to the linux partition from here | 10:20 |
| outbackwifi | CaveSnow: where's here? Windows? | 10:21 |
| CaveSnow | outbackwifi: yep | 10:21 |
| outbackwifi | CaveSnow: install explore2fs | 10:21 |
| outbackwifi | CaveSnow: that should detect your linux partitions and let you copy from them | 10:21 |
| moncojhr | outbackwifi: ill try it, although at the moment the nautilus file browser opens it with the correct application | 10:22 |
| owh | outbackwifi: Before we start installing things, perhaps we should learn to find out what is wrong first. | 10:22 |
| owh | CaveSnow: So, again, if you run the LiveCD, what happens? | 10:22 |
| outbackwifi | owh: he wants to open linux partitions from windows | 10:22 |
| outbackwifi | owh: end of story; no ubuntu | 10:22 |
| owh | outbackwifi: No he doesn't. | 10:22 |
| outbackwifi | owh --> But if it helps I have access to the linux partition from here | 10:23 |
| outbackwifi | thats what he said | 10:23 |
| owh | outbackwifi: What he wants to do is run xbuntu with a normal resolution and he lamented that he couldn't see the partitions. | 10:23 |
| outbackwifi | or i misread | 10:23 |
| owh | outbackwifi: Seeing the partitions won't help solve the resolution issue. | 10:23 |
| CaveSnow | owh: well actually, I downloaded the alternate cd (my fault) so I do not have the live cd. | 10:23 |
| moncojhr | outbackwifi: this doesnt work, i already had it set like this, i think the search app isnt apart of nautlius | 10:23 |
| GamingX | Whats the default app to open rar files in ubuntu? | 10:23 |
| outbackwifi | unrar | 10:24 |
| GamingX | !rar | 10:24 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 10:24 |
| owh | CaveSnow: That's fine. That gives us more information. | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | GamingX: if you install unrar, ark willunderstand them | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | GamingX: id also install 7z too ;) | 10:24 |
| hateball | So... what's a good mindmapping tool for either Gnome or KDE? | 10:24 |
| GamingX | ok, thanks | 10:24 |
| owh | CaveSnow: What you need to do is boot into xubuntu again and do some checking. Let me tell you why. | 10:24 |
| leveld | hateball: I use labyrinth | 10:24 |
| GamingX | !7z | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 10:25 |
| leveld | hateball: it's a little simplistic, but does the job well for me | 10:25 |
| owh | CaveSnow: You could have a problem with fonts, or you could have a problem with resolution, or you could have a problem with the video driver. All are possible. | 10:25 |
| leveld | hateball: there's also freemind (java based) | 10:25 |
| owh | CaveSnow: At the moment we don't know which of those is the one that's causing grief. | 10:25 |
| Aron_ | A question,my seahorse cannot work proply | 10:25 |
| hateball | leveld: It's for end users... (teachers) so I think I need something more... GUI-ish :) | 10:25 |
| owh | CaveSnow: It's made a little harder because you cannot run the machine and talk here at the same time :( | 10:26 |
| hateball | leveld: I've considered Freemind | 10:26 |
| CaveSnow | owh: System? Ok, here goes: Toshiba Satellite A100-233 with intel core duo (the 32 bit one) with mobile intel(R) 945GM Express | 10:26 |
| Aron_ | I cannot input any password while encrypt or other action | 10:26 |
| * outbackwifi had one of those too | 10:26 | |
| leveld | hateball: also, vym and kdissert | 10:26 |
| DASPRiD | owh, looks like instlalation works this time, thanks agian ;) | 10:26 |
| owh | DASPRiD: All good :) | 10:26 |
| lmg | question guys, how do I "label" ext3 partitions, so they get mounted with their names rather than "disk" or "123Gb Volume" (much like NTFS ones) ? | 10:26 |
| hateball | leveld: Yeah I tried kdissert, seemed nice enough | 10:26 |
| CaveSnow | owh: Sorry there, well I could set up an other pc but it will take some time... | 10:26 |
| leveld | hateball: if you don't like either of them, I can't help you ... :) | 10:26 |
| owh | CaveSnow: Well, the alternative is to download the LiveCD. | 10:27 |
| hateball | leveld: Well there's a couple of choices there, cheers :) | 10:27 |
| lmg | I tried `e2label` without much effect. | 10:27 |
| owh | CaveSnow: I cannot tell you which will be simpler. | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !find label | lmg | 10:27 |
| ubottu | lmg: '|' is not a valid distribution | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !find label | 10:27 |
| ubottu | Found: cdlabelgen, glabels, glabels-data, glabels-dev | 10:27 |
| CaveSnow | owh: do you think that livecd will detect my wireless card | 10:27 |
| Aron_ | nobody can reply me? | 10:28 |
| valentinex | Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( | 10:28 |
| lmg | hi ActionParsnip1: you don't confuse this with lightscribe labels, do you? | 10:28 |
| owh | CaveSnow: I cannot answer that because I don't know which card that is. Wireless is notoriously picky. | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lmg: no idea man, sorry | 10:29 |
| owh | Aron_: I have no idea what your question is, let alone how we can help. | 10:29 |
| CaveSnow | owh: if not I will have problems with internet connection, but anyway, Maybe in 30-40 minutes I will be back with another computer by my side. Sorry, the wireless card isL Intel PRO/wireless 3945ABG but I'm not sure if that helps.. Will you be here in 30-40 minutes? | 10:29 |
| Aron_ | my seahorse doesn't work proply | 10:30 |
| owh | CaveSnow: If not me, there are 1286 others here. | 10:30 |
| moncojhr | i still cant get applications outside of nautilus to open specific file types with specific applications | 10:30 |
| lmg | ActionParsnip1: glabels looks more like a cover-creation software to me | 10:30 |
| CaveSnow | owh: got the point | 10:30 |
| moncojhr | this includes the search application that comes defualt with ubuntu | 10:30 |
| Aron_ | I cannot input any password while I use it to encrypt any file | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lmg: ive not used anything like that, try websearch ubuntu label partitions | 10:31 |
| Aron_ | also when I want to sign a signature,cannot input the password either | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lmg: or simply put symlinks on your desktop with names | 10:31 |
| valentinex | Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( | 10:31 |
| lmg | ActionParsnip1: which got me to `e2label` | 10:31 |
| g33k_gir1 | arg, someone please help. I'm sure this is asked every day, but I can't get skype working... I've followed all the web howtos, sound is working, I just can't get the mic input working | 10:31 |
| g33k_gir1 | I have checked the volumes and mutes in alsamixer | 10:31 |
| lmg | ActionParsnip1: agreed, I could. though it's not "_the_" way | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lmg: its how i'd do it if i use gui for file management | 10:32 |
| owh | !skype | 10:33 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 10:33 |

| owh | Aron_: I do not know what you are trying to describe when you say that you cannot enter your password. | 10:34 |
| owh | !ati | oliver_ | 10:35 |
| ubottu | oliver_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:35 |
| oliver_ | owh: i ran a compiz check and i got Error: Fglrx driver not properly installed, you are using the Mesa driver. | 10:35 |
| GamingX | !gstreamer | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer | 10:35 |
| owh | !codecs | GamingX | 10:35 |
| ubottu | GamingX: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 10:35 |

| GamingX | Thanks | 10:36 |
| valentinex | Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( | 10:36 |
| owh | oliver_: I am not your personal pastebin. | 10:36 |
| valentinex | And how to update pidgin inside ubuntu? | 10:36 |
| Aron_ | that is,I want to encrypt a file,so I use the right-click menu in nautilus,then there is a window to input password for my gpg key,but I cannot input any word. | 10:36 |
| g33k_gir1 | thanks for the skype link. I've been followign those instructions, and I'm stuck on Audio Problems 1.3 | 10:36 |
| g33k_gir1 | I can't get the mic to work | 10:36 |
| oliver_ | owh: sorry, just thought i shouldn't paste out here | 10:37 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Excellent, now have you got the microphone working outside skype? | 10:37 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: no | 10:37 |
| owh | oliver_: You shouldn't. | 10:37 |
| oliver_ | !paste | 10:37 |
| 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) | 10:37 |
| oliver_ | ah | 10:37 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Well if it won't work outside skype, it won't work inside skype either :) | 10:37 |
| g33k_gir1 | yes, i know ;) thats what I'm trying to get help for | 10:38 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Just for fun, right-click on the speaker icon in the men and choose Open Volume Control | 10:38 |
| randumnumber1 | hey | 10:38 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: ok | 10:38 |
| valentinex | Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( what should I do to take that back | 10:38 |
| frybye | owh - imho that is only partly correct.. I have had a system where the mike was working in skype and not yet for other applications - skype seems to bring its own environment to some extent.. or...? | 10:39 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Do you see a window with lots of sliders? | 10:39 |
| g33k_gir1 | yes | 10:39 |
| oliver_ | owh: I pasted my compiz-check and xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/45235/ | 10:39 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Can you see a slider for microphone? | 10:39 |
| chipsy | Hallo, leider bin ich Anfänger im Linux und kenne mich da noch gar nicht aus; brauche Hilfe und ich kann des ned lesen des ist alles so klein geschrieben. | 10:39 |
| owh | frybye: One problem at a time mon frere :) | 10:39 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: all the sliders are at max. nothing is checked in the mute boxes, including the slider for front mic and mic | 10:39 |
| frybye | chipsy... english hier denke ich.. sonst --> #ubuntu-de | 10:40 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Tick the mute for microphone, then untick it. | 10:40 |
| starn | does anybody know how to fix white screen with envy installed nvidia drivers for 8600 gt while desktop effects are on. and why games like Doom 3 do not run get vertext low vitrual memory error... | 10:40 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: ok... | 10:40 |
| Horny | Hello | 10:40 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Are there any tabs on the window? | 10:40 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: no... | 10:41 |
| valentinex | Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( | 10:41 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: no change when trying to record a test sound file (using krec) | 10:41 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: So all you have is one tab called "Playback" ? | 10:41 |
| lmg | owh: it's most likely easier to setup in alsamixer. | 10:41 |
| valentinex | better I try kubuntu they said its easy for new users | 10:41 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: no, the tab is just called HDA intel | 10:41 |
| patrick_ | how do i enable javascript to watch youtube videos? | 10:42 |
| g33k_gir1 | lmg, owh: I tried this on the command line using alsamixer as well | 10:42 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Lemmie guess, you're not running Ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| starn | does anybody know how to fix white screen with envy installed nvidia drivers for 8600 gt while desktop effects are on. and why games like Doom 3 do not run get vertext low vitrual memory error... | 10:42 |
| g33k_gir1 | I'm running kubuntu | 10:42 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh ^^ | 10:42 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: does that make a difference if I'm using gnome vs kde? | 10:42 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: Yeah, I figured that when you said you were using krec :) | 10:42 |
| patrick_ | hey | 10:43 |
| Horny14F | hey everyone, wanna chat? | 10:43 |
| owh | g33k_gir1: No, but me telling you where to click and what it looks like won't help :) | 10:43 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: I have such a HDA Intel beast too | 10:43 |
| g33k_gir1 | owh: lol, so should I jump into #kubuntu and ask there instead? | 10:43 |
| DASPRiD | owh, argh NO, was a moment afk, and the laptop battery went empty >_> | 10:43 |
| patrick_ | how do i enable javascript to watch youtube videos? | 10:43 |
| cebot | o/ | 10:43 |

| CaveSnow_1_ | owh: ok, here I am with an other pc. | 10:44 |
| Daremonai | I'm having a weird problem, I bought a 1TB HDD 2 days ago, installed it (sata), and now everyday I have to do fsck because the disk stops responding, and each time I have FS errors. Anyone know what's happening? (there has been lots of copying in and out of the HD, but all other hds haven't crashed yet) | 10:44 |
| owh | DASPRiD: You get that some days - I've been banging my head on a compaq armada 1750 all day :( | 10:44 |
| g33k_gir1 | lmg: have you been able to get your mic working? | 10:44 |
| owh | CaveSnow_1_: Excellent. | 10:44 |
| starn | does anybody know how to fix white screen with envy installed nvidia drivers for 8600 gt while desktop effects are on. and why games like Doom 3 do not run get vertext low vitrual memory error... | 10:44 |
| DASPRiD | owh, well, but headbanging is good! ;) | 10:44 |
| cebot | i have uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and installed kubuntu-desktop but the system still fires up gnome (tho it uses kdm instead of gdm now) | 10:44 |
| owh | DASPRiD: Not if you don't make any progress in any way at all. | 10:45 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: certainly. though at the very moment I have 3 capture sources (webcam has a built in, tv-tuner) so I'm trying to figure which is the one.. | 10:45 |
| DASPRiD | owh, true | 10:45 |
| DASPRiD | cebot, god wanna say you, that you should use gnome ;) | 10:45 |
| erUSUL | Daremonai: anything on the logs?? mainly /var/log/messages and maybe in /var/log/syslog too | 10:45 |
| g33k_gir1 | lmg: right... well, I only have the two sources, currently. front and back mic inputs. neither work | 10:45 |
| Daremonai | erUSUL, let me check | 10:45 |
| owh | It's time for me to wave farewell to all yea Ubuntoids - I'll be back some day - gotta run for dinner :) | 10:46 |
| oliver_ | Compiz check is telling me that my fgrlx is not installed. and im using mesa driver, i have posted the compiz check and my xorg.conf here if someone can have a look please | 10:46 |
| erUSUL | patrick_: sudo at-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 10:46 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: run alsamixer -c 0 and switch to capture by pressing TAB | 10:46 |
| starn | does anybody know how to fix white screen with envy installed nvidia drivers for 8600 gt while desktop effects are on. and why games like Doom 3 do not run get vertext low vitrual memory error... i am using ubuntu latest ver latest kernals. | 10:46 |

| g33k_gir1 | lmg: ok | 10:46 |
| DASPRiD | cebot, no :x | 10:46 |
| oliver_ | erUSUL: i used envy to install could that be why? | 10:47 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: to the very right you should have Input-Source selectors | 10:47 |
| vovkav | hi! What is the easiest way to profile the entire linux system with large granularity? Just to see how much time is spent in kernel-libc-libxxx-apllication? | 10:47 |
| moncojhr | how do i set the defualt application for specific file types? i need to set it for the search tool that comes with ubuntu | 10:47 |
| g33k_gir1 | lmg: yep, I see em | 10:47 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: are those set to "mic" or "front-mic" respectively? | 10:47 |

| erUSUL | oliver_: dunno; never used envyng... but it has clearly failed somehow | 10:47 |
| erUSUL | !envyng | oliver_ | 10:47 |
| ubottu | oliver_: 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 | 10:47 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: and the sliders for the mics are well around 80% and _not_muted_ ? iirc that was my problem in the first place | 10:48 |
| lmg | g33k_gir1: [M] to un/mute iirc | 10:48 |
| g33k_gir1 | lmg: they are all maxed and not muted | 10:48 |
| oliver_ | erUSL: Its just that the restricted driver in hardware drivers section gives me the white screen. even if i remove compiz from my system | 10:49 |

| tomboy64 | command is "apt-get install libqt4-core" | 11:29 |
| erUSUL | MindSpark: no for the third time that's xammp | 11:29 |
| unop | MindSpark, :) LAMP is also a concept (not just a package) | 11:29 |
| tomboy64 | any input on that? | 11:29 |

| sancho21 | Is it true that the absence of proper xvinfo result causing many 3d games failed to play smoothly? | 11:30 |

| MindSpark | also this one: http://www.strdoc.net/ubuntu-apache-php-mysql-server-804-hardyheron | 11:31 |
| erUSUL | MindSpark: you should follow official docs that have been already pointed out to you | 11:31 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: starn: youve got it | 11:31 |
| erUSUL | MindSpark: you are refusing to do so based on bogus arguments so there is anything more we can do | 11:31 |
| outbackwifi | oops | 11:31 |

| Kartagis | I am trying to install pear Mail package but I am getting Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_PackageFile_v1::getURI() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Downloader/Package.php on line 1099. what to do? | 11:32 |
| MindSpark | erUSUL, I am just wondering why there are separate packages | 11:33 |
| MindSpark | apache2, mod-php-apache2, mysql | 11:33 |
| MindSpark | while there's lamp | 11:33 |
| MindSpark | then | 11:33 |
| unop | MindSpark, the LAMP package is a metapackage, it pulls in all these ones | 11:33 |
| Haegin | MindSpark: some people don't want part of LAMP | 11:33 |
| MindSpark | Haegin, exactly | 11:34 |
| mrwhippy | hello all, anyone can help me with a bind9 problem i thinks its something to do with my local settings, i had to remove the include local line from the named.conf as i was getting a zone already defined error in syslog | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | MindSpark: well becouse somone my prefer to use postgress sql instead of mysql or lighhtp instead of apache or both or python instead of php ... you get the idea | 11:34 |
| MindSpark | and that's what I am asking, how I can set it up without lamp | 11:34 |
| mrwhippy | oh sorry the error is with local nslookups | 11:34 |
| Haegin | MindSpark: what do you want? | 11:34 |
| MindSpark | have them installed separately | 11:34 |
| Haegin | MindSpark: sudo aptitude install mysql-server php apache2 | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | !metapackage | MindSpark | 11:35 |
| ubottu | MindSpark: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 11:35 |
| unop | MindSpark, LAMP is a concept, like i was saying .. to have a LAMP server, you install apache, mysql/postgresql/sqlite/etc and PhP/Python/Perl etc .. which is what you have already. | 11:35 |
| starn | outbackwifi: from what i am reading (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) is due to me runing nv and not nvidia x or trying to run both... so should i do good clean up and install only nvidia x? | 11:35 |
| Haegin | MindSpark: or just use the lamp package as everyone else is saying | 11:35 |
| erUSUL | MindSpark: there is no diference in installing them via lamp metapackage or installing them one by one the end result is the same | 11:35 |
| Haegin | starn: you need to use either nv or nvidia, if you want 3d then you need nvidia but as it is a proprietary driver you need to install it | 11:36 |
| starn | Haegin: soo manualy install? | 11:37 |
| Kartagis | I am trying to install pear Mail package but I am getting Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_PackageFile_v1::getURI() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Downloader/Package.php on line 1099. what to do? | 11:37 |
| outbackwifi | starn: yes from their site | 11:37 |
| Haegin | starn: have you installed nvidia-glx? | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | outbackwifi: Haegin he already used envyng | 11:37 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: what does sudo ifconfig eth0 show you | 11:38 |
| unop | Kartagis, you might like to ask the folks in #PHP or #php about this | 11:38 |
| kelvin911 | have anyone tried the earth desktop? | 11:38 |
| Haegin | erUSUL: I have no experience with envyng myself, I have always done it the manual way or from the repos | 11:38 |
| |ns|nR8 | anyone know a good tutorial for setting up openldap on ubuntu server to run a windows domain controller | 11:38 |
| mrwhippy | unop: hello again do you fancy helping me with that bind9 problem i have some more idea as to what might be wrong now but still cannot get it to work | 11:38 |
| starn | outbackwifi: .. oh god i did that once.... and it gave me black screen on bootups... Heagin: and umm i am currently using nvidia=glx=new=envy | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | Haegin: same here just FYI (for yur information) | 11:38 |
| unop | mrwhippy, i'll try .. what's the matter now? | 11:39 |
| Kattollikisd | HI for everybody, I have a lot of .deb that I want to install... but I really don't like to install all that one by one.... anyway of you have a command that I can install then all in the terminal ( I knos that I have to go to "cd <that folder that I has been talking about" ) :P But I don't know what to do next :S | 11:39 |
| starn | Haegin: Haegin* and -* | 11:39 |

| Haegin | starn: can you pastebin your xorg.conf please? | 11:39 |
| Haegin | MindSpark: sure | 11:39 |
| MindSpark | this is crazy, I feel like I wasted 7 years of my life or so | 11:39 |
| unop | Kattollikisd, sudo dpkg -i /path/to/*.deb | 11:40 |
| starn | Haegin: if you tell me how to pastbin | 11:40 |
| Haegin | MindSpark: did you learn anything? | 11:40 |
| === _k_ is now known as asddd | ||
| sinan | i am having trouble with my router. I know it is not ubuntu related, but any help would be appreciated. I got a new router, which I plan to use, but I forgot my PPPoE password. I have full access to the old router (which has the password), how can i retrieve it? It is a WRT54GLv1.1 | 11:40 |
| MindSpark | Haegin, for the past 10 years I've been on slackware and this all seems so automated to me | 11:40 |
| unop | Kattollikisd, though, you must ensure that all dependencies are satisfied | 11:40 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: It says lots of stuff........ | 11:40 |
| outbackwifi | sinan: ask your ISP | 11:40 |
| |ns|nR8 | sinan, ring your isp | 11:40 |
| starn | Haegin: i am going out the limb and make aguess pastbin is a website | 11:40 |
| Haegin | starn: open the xorg.conf file in gedit (or the text editor of your choice), go to pastebin.com and paste it all in the box then give the the url | 11:40 |
| mrwhippy | unop: still getting the same problem at the moment with the nslookup so server cant find, nxdomain, however when i went through the syslog i found that bind was complaing that the zones were set up twice, so i figured i must be including named.conf.local twice somewhere so dropped the line out of named.conf, which then allowed bind to restart oh i purged and started again as well, | 11:40 |
| MindSpark | it's very convenient, I am just not used to it | 11:40 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: can you tell me the first line only? | 11:40 |
| sinan | outbackwifi, |ns|nR8: i am in 3rd world country, they are totally unhelpful. | 11:41 |
| |ns|nR8 | sinan, if you have a email client installed and configured you may be able to run a packet sniffer to capture the password | 11:41 |
| unop | mrwhippy, ok, let's have a look at your named.conf - put it up on a pastebin | 11:41 |
| sinan | |ns|nR8: can you tell me more? | 11:41 |
| outbackwifi | |ns|nR8: he needs pppoe password | 11:41 |
| mrwhippy | unop: k will do | 11:41 |
| starn | Haegin: http://pastebin.com/d581facac i do think i did that right if i cant manage some thing that simple i shouldt be on a comp eh | 11:42 |
| |ns|nR8 | outbackwifi, your isp email password is the same as pppoe password | 11:42 |
| sinan | yes, i don't have an email accont with the same password or anything. | 11:42 |
| Kattollikisd | unop, thanks | 11:42 |
| moncojhr | hey, how do i set the defualt application for specific file types? (outside of nautilus i need the search application to use it) | 11:42 |
| outbackwifi | |ns|nR8: not mine | 11:42 |
| |ns|nR8 | ah ok | 11:42 |
| sinan | |ns|nR8: na, that wouldn't work. I don't have an ISP email. | 11:42 |
| darkk^ | is there anything like gentoo's "world" in ubuntu? I mean any easy way to find top-level packages that pull rest the system using dependency information. | 11:42 |
| |ns|nR8 | in most cases its the same i believe | 11:42 |
| unop | moncojhr, editing ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list should help | 11:42 |
| outbackwifi | |ns|nR8: depends on the country /ISP, i guess | 11:43 |
| sinan | i have the router's configuration file, but it is all gibberish | 11:43 |

| outbackwifi | bob1: do you have dhcp enabled on your calbe modem/ router or do you assign ip addresses manually? | 11:47 |
| KenSentMe | Or is there some other method to create a video dvd with a data folder? | 11:47 |
| unop | mrwhippy, ok, and if you have a file at "/etc/bind/named.conf.local" .. can you put that up on a pastebin too? | 11:47 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: I don't know | 11:47 |
| mrwhippy | unop:sure will do now | 11:47 |
| Haegin | starn: run 'sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new' to install the drivers | 11:47 |

| icarus-c | aar: or ds-h | 11:55 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: yes | 11:55 |
| icarus-c | aar: ds -h i mean | 11:55 |

| MTecknology | I have two servers. One uses POP and the other uses IMAP. I would use IMAP for both, but my university doesn't allow IMAP access. So, I want to come up with a way that I can download my POP messages and them upload them to an IMAP server. I already have the emails being downloaded. I now need to figure out how to upload the messages to an IMAP server without being able to set up a script on the server itself. This means that I will need to | 11:57 |
| mrwhippy | unop: on the server i get the following message Server: 192.168.0.1 /new line Address: 192.168.0.5#53 /new line **server can't find siwntonit.local: NXDOMAIN /end message, what i cant understand is that i have set the dns server in /network interfaces to 192.168.0.5 so why is it saying my gateway address which is 192.168.0.1 next to server | 11:57 |

| darkk^ | MTecknology, you can try to mix fetchmail with offlineimap (I'm not sure if offlineimap is right tool for the task) | 11:58 |
| lmg | Felix_Krull: system > preferences > removable media | 11:58 |
| [nrx] | Z3r0C001, yes | 11:58 |

| Z3r0C001 | I was thinking about buying a laptop here soon | 11:58 |
| outbackwifi | lmg: even then | 11:59 |
| lmg | outbackwifi: it will show up in "places" but not be automounted | 11:59 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: No although I do have a wifi card in this PC | 11:59 |
| unop | mrwhippy, i think you've mis-spelt your domain name there - swintonit.local not siwntonit.local | 11:59 |
| MTecknology | darkk^: offlineimap sounds interesting :) thanks for the pointer | 11:59 |
| outbackwifi | lmg: i use an external hdd | 11:59 |

| starn | Haegin: ok i am back sorry man.. and um full reboot or restart xserver? or is there some thing else i should do first? | 11:59 |
| unop | moncojhr, errm, i dunno what foobar2000.desktop does - but i suspect it's one you have created, verify that the file exists | 12:00 |
| outbackwifi | i wouldnt need to automount it always at the same mount point would i? | 12:00 |
| lmg | outbackwifi: but you could | 12:00 |
| outbackwifi | lmg: i dont get the point | 12:00 |
| lmg | Felix_Krull: sorry. my bad. | 12:00 |
| Haegin | starn: you need to run sudo nvidia-xconfig first | 12:00 |
| lmg | outbackwifi: point is.. the places menu autodetects drives (internal + external) just fine. so why bother with mountpoints? | 12:01 |
| mrwhippy | unop: thats on here, its fine on the server when i tried it, also i just tried it on the client and got the following server:unknown /newline address 192.168.0.5 ***Unknown cant find swintonit.local: server failed | 12:01 |

| moncojhr | unop: ooh your right, for some reason the file has some crap at the end of the name, but i cant see it in nautilus | 12:01 |
| mrwhippy | unop: sorry that wasnt very clear the type was on irc not when i did the lookup on the server | 12:01 |
| lmg | outbackwifi: if you can just set a flag and have everything automounted according to its label. | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lmg: its had it forever so why change something so little | 12:01 |
| outbackwifi | lmg: if i want my external drive to get mounted always on mount point /media/Backup irrespective of which usb port i plugged it in | 12:01 |
| ikonia | outbackwifi: it should use the volume lable of the device as a mountpoint | 12:02 |
| starn | yao_ziyuan: you can run AOE and ROE just fine under linux menus are alittle missed up. you must have wine to do so though | 12:02 |
| unop | mrwhippy, ok, what is the ip address of your bind server? | 12:02 |
| biochem | i broke alsamixer | 12:02 |
| lmg | outbackwifi: mine gets mounted to /media/EXTERNAL no matter where I plug it in. | 12:02 |
| moncojhr | unop: is there a way so i can see the full filenames in nautilus, including the .desktop part | 12:02 |
| mrwhippy | 192.168.0.5 | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: itd be nice | 12:02 |
| ikonia | outbackwifi: so if you label it as backup - it should mount on "backup" | 12:02 |
| outbackwifi | ikonia: better way is to use the blkid (or UUID) | 12:02 |
| Haegin | starn: ok, now restart x. if it all goes wrong then copy the backup the nvidia-xconfig tool created over xorg.conf and run startx to get back on here and moan at me | 12:02 |
| lmg | outbackwifi: but I never bothered with mountpoints or USB ids. just that one flag | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: what about duplicated names? | 12:02 |
| ikonia | outbackwifi: a very valid point | 12:02 |
| starn | ok | 12:02 |
| unop | moncojhr, errm, i don't know, i don't use nautilus very much. | 12:02 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip1: it appends a _ I believe | 12:02 |
| yao_ziyuan | starn: ok | 12:03 |

| starn | Haegin: wanna see my xorg.config? | 12:11 |
| Haegin | starn: yeah, go for it | 12:11 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: OK | 12:11 |

| CaveSnow | what does the noddc option in xorg.conf mean? | 12:12 |
| mizipzor | outbackwifi: is it equally easy if i want to change to loginmanager/screen? | 12:12 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: It didn't do anything | 12:12 |
| CaveSnow | I cannot find anything in the man pages | 12:12 |
| frith | other than the wine method, are there any tools for this? | 12:12 |
| outbackwifi | mizipzor: yes | 12:12 |
| mrwhippy | unop: i was looking in the syslog to see what was happening when the bind service was starting, i havent looked at any specific bind logs | 12:12 |

| outbackwifi | bob1: now tell me what the 3rd line of sudo ifconfig eth0 says | 12:12 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: ifconfig | 12:12 |
| unop | mrwhippy, ok, what does this return? ls -l /var/log/*{name,bind}* | 12:13 |

| SpinachHead | hi, if I try to enable the NVIDIA proprietary driver using the hardware menu, it says "..deb package" not found. Do I need to add an NVDIA repository? Ive already searched docs and no mention of this | 12:13 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip1: funky permissions? like ntfs encryption or something? | 12:14 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: inet addr:192.168.10.5 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: try sudo rm -rf ./Legal | 12:14 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: now youve got an ip address | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: or weird ownerships, not permissions inherited from above | 12:14 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip1: Same error | 12:14 |
| starn | Haegin: hey the bright side of being in low gfx mode is i can see the text alot bigger seeing how its almost as big as my head..... | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: id get something that can delete ntfs folders or bart pe | 12:15 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip1: I don't know what kind of permissions it had... its part of a backup I did for my aunt and now I don't need it | 12:15 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: type this command --> echo "nameserver 192.168.10.1" > /etc/resolv.conf | 12:15 |
| Haegin | starn: can you pastebin the output from the following command please: 'sudo aptitude search nvidia-glx | grep "^i" | 12:15 |
| starn | Haegin: as a note. my monitor likes to run at 52hz or w/e on linux and on windows 75hz | 12:15 |
| starn | ok | 12:15 |
| tomas_ | Is possible to run already installed winxp with Virtualbox on Ubuntu | 12:16 |
| tomas_ | ? | 12:16 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip1: is it something I can delete from windows as another user or will I have permissions problems there too? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: it has some permissions set on the folder. ususally permissions are inherited using AD so they dont technically have permissions explicitly set on them | 12:16 |
| unop | mrwhippy, ok, review syslog now - have a look at what the last few bind/named events, does bind complain about being unable to load zonefiles, etc ? | 12:16 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: Permission denied | 12:16 |
| Haegin | starn: a TFT? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: sure, log in as asmin and take ownership, then delete it | 12:16 |
| mrwhippy | unop: scrolling through syslog now | 12:16 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn: configured properly ? | 12:16 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip1: ok, thanks | 12:16 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: sorry you need to be su | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: ntfs is a proprietary format so writing to it is hard | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: all files yuo write have default permissions | 12:17 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: have you used vi or nano before? | 12:17 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: No | 12:17 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: or just do a sudo su - | 12:17 |

| outbackwifi | bob1: press ctl+d to exit root shell | 12:18 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn: I responsed to your post 52/75 Hz, that would concern monitor-confi not driver | 12:18 |
| Haegin | starn: can you | 12:18 |
| Haegin | Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and check the box to enable the restricted drivers for your NVIDIA card if the option is provided. | 12:18 |
| SpinachHead | that doesnt even find the drivers in hardy | 12:19 |
| unop | mrwhippy, you could do this to put the file on a pastebin. sudo aptitude install pastebinit; pastebinit < /var/log/syslog | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | starn: you need to specify some resolutions to make the driver kick in | 12:19 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip1: ok, I'll try those next time I restart, could be weeks | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | powertool08: yuo know what to do, its your rig dude | 12:19 |
| starn | Haegin: i think ActionParsnip1 is right.. for i see jack | 12:19 |
| starn | ActionParsnip1: how would i do this if every res i use it goes into low gfx mode 800X600 if i recall | 12:20 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: OK I did it. nothing happining just back to command line. Then you want me to ctl+d? | 12:20 |

| ActionParsnip1 | ScheissDroge1: yeah i think so | 12:32 |
| ben-- | ActionParsnip1: I've googled it already and nothing comes up conserning this error while booting the installer | 12:32 |
| ben-- | there are a lot of solutions there but none conserning my problem | 12:32 |
| rabby_ | hello | 12:33 |
| ben-- | is this the final answer in the Ubuntu offical support channel? No one has an answer for this problem? | 12:33 |
| ScheissDroge1 | moncojhr: i've got a icon (glasses) in my downside taskbar that allows me to search files, is that what you wanted ? | 12:33 |
| Noruas | what problem , | 12:33 |
| Noruas | , | 12:33 |
| Noruas | ? | 12:33 |
| starn | ActionParsnip1: still did not work | 12:34 |
| ben-- | Noruas | 12:34 |
| ben-- | I'm trying to install Ubuntu (latest version from website) | 12:34 |
| rabby_ | is there a way to force wget to save a downloaded file as "filena.me"? atm it e.g. adds .1 if the file exists already => filena.me.1 and so on. i do not want it to do so... just overwrite... | 12:34 |
| Noruas | 8.04 ? | 12:34 |
| ben-- | yep | 12:34 |
| Noruas | and ? | 12:34 |
| ben-- | The boot GUI comes up and I choose "Install Ubuntu" | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: did you install the nvidia driver then it started happening? | 12:34 |
| Noruas | ok | 12:34 |
| erUSUL | rabby_: -O | 12:34 |
| ben-- | once the Ubuntu load bar finishs the Installer GUI starts loading | 12:35 |
| icarus-c | what is the tool that is used to burn cd? | 12:35 |
| erUSUL | !burning | icarus-c | 12:35 |
| ubottu | icarus-c: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 12:35 |
| ben-- | but stops with an error "Unable to initiliaze HAL!" | 12:35 |
| ben-- | and basicly stops. | 12:35 |
| Haegin | cdrecord ftw | 12:35 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn. don't use it, as you have a different moni, but see the modlines in http://pastebin.com/f57b965bb | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: did you md5 check the cd? | 12:35 |
| ben-- | any idea what to do about it? | 12:35 |
| Noruas | hoo great error ^^ | 12:35 |
| jrib | ben--: did you "verify the integrity of the cd" from the CDs boot menu? | 12:36 |
| starn | i have dell 171fp i think | 12:36 |
| ben-- | nope, I will do that right now... | 12:36 |
| Noruas | did you re-install "dbus" ? | 12:36 |
| _8472 | ActionParsnip1: well, have finished reading of that link you gave me, and that's not it. that article is about PREVENTING OF STEALING THE FOCUS. but i would like to have this function: "automatically give focus to newly created windows" | 12:36 |
| ultimate | hi | 12:36 |
| ben-- | "Check CD for Defacts" | 12:36 |
| Noruas | hal is a problem to log to GNOME | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: you should have before you started, faulty cd == faulty install | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: why do you think there are md5sums everywhere | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: there is no garuntee the download will be 100% accurate | 12:37 |
| ben-- | no idea why it would be faulty, I've just burned it 5 mins ago | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: the image you downloaded may be incorect | 12:37 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn: you can install dispalyconfig-gtk and then run it to have them added automatically if you find your monitor in its list | 12:37 |
| Noruas | "edit menu" | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | starn: what graphics card do you have? | 12:37 |
| Noruas | and "display" | 12:37 |
| ben-- | ActionParsnip1: once downloading from the offical Ubuntu website, I didn't really think that was neccessery | 12:38 |
| starn | ActionParsnip1: XFX 8600 gt | 12:38 |
| ben-- | but I am checking for defacts of the CD right now. | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: doesnt mean you downloaded it with integrity | 12:38 |
| Haegin | ben--: it is always possible for the download to corrupt between you and the server when downloading | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: data can get damaged in transit | 12:38 |
| ben-- | urm | 12:39 |
| ScheissDroge1 | cd burning more often a problem | 12:39 |
| mrwhippy | unop: anything usefull in there, sorry about the length when i get things working ill be looking at seperating my log files to be more readable and manageble | 12:39 |
| starn | ScheissDroge1: i already have it.. and um i did find my monitor.. but my prob is when setting to what my monitor tells me to set at 1280x1024@60hz it just display the message telling me to set it at that res. | 12:39 |
| Haegin | ben--: you should also check the cd integrity when you burn it to ensure that the cd is exactly the same as the iso and no errors were made | 12:39 |
| ben-- | the MD5 sums aren't even on the download website | 12:39 |
| _8472 | ActionParsnip1: well, have finished reading of that link you gave me, and that's not it. that article is about PREVENTING OF STEALING THE FOCUS. but i would like to have this function: "automatically give focus to newly created windows" | 12:39 |
| jrib | !md5sums > ben-- | 12:39 |
| ubottu | ben--, please see my private message | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: they are on the ubuntu website | 12:39 |
| Haegin | starn: can you get it to 1024x768@60Hz? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: you then need an md5 checking app | 12:39 |
| zasek | anyone have installed ubuntu 8.10 alpha 5? | 12:39 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn: which monitor is it ? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: md5 check the image then compare with the file on the server | 12:39 |
| jrib | ben--: not sure why you need them though. Just use the option on the cd... | 12:40 |
| starn | Dell E171fp | 12:40 |
| Noruas | non intrepid is too dangerous for my PC ^^ | 12:40 |
| === lmg is now known as lmg_AFK | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: unless your hardware is faulty, the system will boot | 12:40 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !md5|ben--: | 12:40 |
| ubottu | ben--:: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: if the cd is incorrect it would explain why hal does not start | 12:40 |
| ben-- | c69e34e92d5402d1b87e6babc739f774 | 12:40 |
| ben-- | found it | 12:40 |
| ben-- | anyways the CD is good. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: so you md5 checkes the cd | 12:40 |
| jrib | ben--: did you run the option on the cd from its boot menu? | 12:40 |
| ben-- | and hardware is not faulty as I have XP installed and running properly right now | 12:40 |
| starn | Haegin: i get can not display this video mode for every mode i try except the low gfx mode | 12:41 |
| _8472 | Hi, is there any chance to enable in Gnome this kind of METACITY setting "automatically give focus to newly created windows" ? I'm already searching for it for some time, but still no success. Always have found similar answer, it's not in Gnome ....... , but i don't like this answer. thx in advance | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: then its your cd | 12:41 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: used the installer's option check cd for defects ? | 12:41 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: Did I loose you? | 12:41 |
| ben-- | jrib: yes I did, it runs the check, says nothing and goes back to GUI. | 12:41 |
| ben-- | finishes the Kernel Check | 12:41 |
| ben-- | Kernel load even | 12:41 |
| ben-- | returns to cd GUI. | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ben--: what md5 sum do you get when you check the cd using an md5sum checker | 12:42 |
| ben-- | gives me no output as to CD intergrity though. | 12:42 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: used the installer's option check cd for defects ? does it say media ok ? | 12:42 |
| ben-- | c69e34e92d5402d1b87e6babc739f774 | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | and what is the code in the md5sum file? | 12:43 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: used the installer's option check cd for defects ? does it say media ok ? not the checksum of the (unurned) iso | 12:43 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: sorry was on a call | 12:43 |
| ben-- | it gives me no output as to CD intergrity. | 12:43 |
| ben-- | just returns to Boot GUI | 12:43 |
| giftnudel | does anyone else have the problem that the permissions of /dev/null are not correct at boot time? | 12:43 |
| ScheissDroge1 | !who|ben | 12:43 |
| ubottu | ben: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:43 |
| bazhang | ben--, just curious; how long did the disk integrity check take. | 12:43 |
| ben-- | ScheissDroge1: it gives me no output as to CD intergrity, just returns to Boot GUI | 12:43 |
| pere_ | Hi everybody, I need to know how to configure wine midi!? | 12:44 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: as i was asking, is there a light glowing on the port that the computer is connected? | 12:44 |
| ben-- | bazhang: started it 7 mins ago, finished around 2 mins ago. | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pere_: not heard of it | 12:44 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: so not saying ok to install from that ? it breaks up ? | 12:44 |
| _8472 | Hi, is there any chance to enable in Gnome this kind of METACITY setting "automatically give focus to newly created windows" ? I'm already searching for it for some time, but still no success. Always have found similar answer, it's not in Gnome ....... , but i don't like this answer. thx in advance | 12:44 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: or is there a light on the pc too? | 12:44 |
| ben-- | should it give me a Media OK output? | 12:44 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: I have 4 lights, the one labeled "100" is blinking | 12:44 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: think so, but I will now boot a desk-cd on another machine to tell you | 12:45 |
| ben-- | approx 5 mins. | 12:45 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: what make router is this? | 12:45 |
| ben-- | ScheissDroge1: thanks. | 12:45 |
| Haegin | _8472: have you considered that maybe it really isn't in gnome? you might be better looking at using another window manager that does support what you want? | 12:45 |
| rsa_md5 | I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, the available disk space has reduced drastically | 12:45 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: The wifi router? | 12:45 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: when you plug out the patch cord does the light go off? | 12:45 |
| starn | hey i got a higher res. but one question.. is it normaly to have the fuzzyness looks? and not show the desktop?? for i used generic LCD panel 1280x1024 | 12:45 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: yes | 12:45 |
| jrib | rsa_md5: Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !timidity > pere_ | 12:46 |
| ubottu | pere_, please see my private message | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !audacity > pere_ | 12:46 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: Light goes out, Router is a motorola, a couple a years old. | 12:46 |
| pogan0 | helo ppl i have problem with suspend /resume events in gnome ; after resume sesion is blocked by last window with sesion options (logout suspend reboot ..) | 12:47 |
| _8472 | Haegin: well, but i'm trying to find if there isn't some "unofficial", maybe hidden bypass | 12:47 |
| rsa_md5 | jrib, how does that solve my problem exactly? :| I removed the old kernel images to gain back some space, but that was only about 115 MB | 12:47 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: is the other pc also connected to the same router? | 12:47 |
| jrib | rsa_md5: find out what is taking up all the space. Have you tried 'apt-get clean'? | 12:47 |
| rsa_md5 | jrib, ok trying that, thanks | 12:48 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: Yes same router. I even exchanged cables. I rtechecked the blinking lights and now the one labels "ACT" is also blinking | 12:48 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: I had most faults from burning a (correct) iso, its checking now.. (a good cd) | 12:48 |
| jrib | ben--: the "check cd for defects" should say "Check finished: no errors found. Press any key to reboot your system" if everything was ok | 12:48 |
| starn | ScheissDroge1: generic LCD Panel 1280x1024@60 sorta worked.. am i suppose to see fuzzy grey lines and nothing else no desktop in test???? other than cancle and ok ect | 12:48 |
| outbackwifi | bob1:is ther a light at the back of the pc where the cable is connected? | 12:48 |
| Haegin | _8472: not that I am aware of, try looking into openbox and see if that can do it as you can use that as a replacement for metacity in gnome | 12:48 |
| ben-- | ok, CD is screwed, hope that is really the problem | 12:48 |
| rsa_md5 | jrib, thanks a lot, clean did the job for me :D | 12:48 |
| ben-- | thanks for your time guys. | 12:49 |
| DRMacIver | So, I'm being a complete cretin. I'm trying to get wireless working on my laptop (I've never bothered in the past). All the information out there these days basically says "Click on NetworkManager and it just works". Unfortunately a) I can't find NetworkManager *anywhere* in the interface and b) When I try to run it from the console it demands to be run as root, yet when I run it as root it returns instantly and doesn't do a blasted thing | 12:49 |
| asdf1234 | sorry...I got kicked out apparently for pasting that big line. | 12:49 |
| DRMacIver | What am I missng? | 12:49 |
| DRMacIver | (I'm running hardy heron) | 12:49 |
| asdf1234 | Did anyone see my question above? | 12:49 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: the blinking ones are on the PC. On the nic. | 12:49 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn: the test worked bad for me to, but save the generated modlines (nice wor for you) from xorg.conf | 12:49 |
| ScheissDroge1 | too | 12:49 |
| ben-- | jrib, ScheissDroge1, ActionParsnip1, thanks. | 12:49 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: what version of ubuntu? | 12:49 |
| sybux | Hi all, is there a way to completly remove package marked "deinstall" in the dpkg --get-selections command ? | 12:50 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: on the pc that we're trying to fix right? | 12:50 |
| DRMacIver | Haegin: Hardy Heron | 12:50 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: yup, theres has to be an ok message | 12:50 |
| jrib | ben--: you can try the Alternate CD as well, it's just a text-based install | 12:50 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: ok, then can you see the network icon up near the clock? | 12:50 |
| DRMacIver | Haegin: Yes. It seems to only list wired networks | 12:50 |
| asdf1234 | Hello. I was grep-ing for a patter on a dir on my system -- I let the grep run as the files it was searching were really large (10+ GB in total). When I checked back later, I found that the resulting file that was generated from the grep was ~ 96MB. I browsed it and decided to delete it. But when I tried to rm it, I got an error saying that my file-system is a read-only system. | 12:50 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: try another burning at a lower speed , used win for it or ubuntu ? | 12:50 |
| asdf1234 | Though this wasn't the case before. I tried forcing the delete to no avail. I attempted a reboot and now I get a bunch of errors as follows: [81.276460] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 (and a bunch of similar messages...) | 12:51 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: Yes on the borken PC there are blinking lights | 12:51 |
| asdf1234 | The last group of errors shows this: [85.963913] journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 10419 on sda1 .... [85.963969] JBD: bad block at offset 10419 ... [85.964034] EXT3-fs: error loading journal. Any idea what's going on? Why the sudden change on my fs to read-only? Is my hdd failing? What can I do now to fix this/back it up? I see a prompt like this now: (initramfs) | 12:51 |
| _8472 | Haegin: yes, have found this kind of advice somewhere in some discussion forum, to change window manager for something else, openbox, and one more was mentioned, but didn't remember the name. anyway, never've done that before, so i don't know how (no links necessary), or what can be messed in the system. | 12:51 |
| ben-- | ScheissDroge1: Windows | 12:51 |
| DRMacIver | Haegin: Ah. Is that the fabled NetworkManager I should be looking at? This isn't obvious from any of the UI info it provides. :) | 12:51 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: then it probably cannot see your wireless card so you will need drivers. what card do you have? | 12:51 |
| ben-- | ScheissDroge1: don't have a linux distro installed right now. | 12:51 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: using nero ? | 12:51 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: what does sudo ethtool eth1 say? | 12:52 |
| ben-- | ScheissDroge1: using an app called Iso Recorder. | 12:52 |
| DRMacIver | Haegin: The proprietary hardware drivers menu suggests that "Support for Atheros 802.11 wirless LAN cards" is installed, enabled and in use | 12:52 |
| Haegin | _8472: sudo aptitude install openbox, logout, at the login screen change session to Gnome + Openbox, login, live long and prosper | 12:52 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: No such device | 12:52 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: odd, right click on the nm-applet icon (the network icon you checked before) and make sure wireless is enabled | 12:52 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: i think your network card is broken | 12:53 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: maybe I need a new nic? | 12:53 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: yes | 12:53 |
| DRMacIver | Haegin: The enable networking checkbox? It's ticked | 12:53 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: never used it, does it let you set burning speed or verify written disk ? see alcohol120% as a free alternative (huhm, nero trial would be better > Nero HP first ) | 12:53 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: OK I will get another and try again. Maybe I will see you again tommorow. Thanks for your help | 12:54 |
| robelliott2125 | Anyone know how to use DeVeDe here? | 12:54 |
| _8472 | Haegin: hm, so easy? ok, may try when won't have nothing to do. anyway, do you have any experiences with openbox? i don't, so i would like to know what else will change? | 12:54 |
| outbackwifi | bob1: yw, sorry we couldnt crack it todat | 12:54 |
| outbackwifi | today | 12:54 |
| ben-- | ScheissDroge1: I'll use another app and try again | 12:54 |
| asdf1234 | Can anyone help me out with my problem, please? My question is pasted above in 3 separate lines, as I've tried to be thorough in detailing my problem. | 12:54 |
| bob1 | outbackwifi: No problem I am glad you took the time. | 12:54 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ben--: saying no erros found press key to reboot (ubuntu-installer selfcheck) | 12:54 |
| Haegin | _8472: i do, it just changes your window manager which only effect the borders around the windows. everything else should be fine | 12:54 |
| _8472 | Haegin: heheeee :)))) "live long and prosper" trekkie fellow :)))) nice :) | 12:55 |
| geirha | asdf1234: Sounds like your hdd is having problems, whether the entire disk is failing or if it is just a bad block is hard to say. I'd try booting the livecd and run fsck on it | 12:55 |
| meescu | I am having trouble loading files onto my iPod. using 8.04, hfsplus, gtkpod. It seems to be an error in permissions, where Ubuntu thinks it only has read... but that's not true. | 12:55 |
| orgthingy | meescu : did you try amaroK or similar software? | 12:55 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: umm i tried it and it crashed the system.. | 12:55 |
| asdf1234 | geirha: does the live CD have to be the same ubuntu version (Edgy, Feisty, etc.) or does it not matter? Sorry, I'm kinda new to ubuntu. | 12:56 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn:open a terminal.. | 12:56 |
| _8472 | Haegin: ok, i think i can live with such small changes | 12:56 |
| DRMacIver | Is there anything I can do to poke the wireless card and check if it's actually working independently of whether it's picking up any networks? | 12:56 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn:sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 12:56 |
| meescu | orgthingy, I have tried gtkpod and rhythmbox | 12:56 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn:pastebinit /var/log/xorg.0.log | 12:56 |
| ScheissDroge1 | pastebinit, damn | 12:57 |
| orgthingy | meescu : try amaroK, if not, then be root and give it permission to write (never happened to me, though) | 12:57 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: are you comfortable with the commandline interface? | 12:57 |
| DRMacIver | outbackwifi: Sure | 12:57 |
| DRMacIver | I mean, I don't know any of the specific commands for dealing with wireless cards, but the console itself is certainly not an issue. :) | 12:57 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: ok can you tell me what wireless card you have | 12:57 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn:url from terminal ? | 12:58 |
| _8472 | Haegin: i will try that someday when i'll have time. thx for this first possible advice. but anyway, boys in the gnome dev. should think about some switch to change this thing, default may be off if they like it this way. | 12:58 |
| Haegin | _8472: i can't remember what features openbox has so check it first | 12:59 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: could my prob be due to my monitor being connected directly to my video card? | 12:59 |
| geirha | asdf1234: Most likely any supported ubuntu CD should work, but its preferable to use the same release or newer | 12:59 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: open up a terminal, type sudo iwlist scanning | 12:59 |
| Haegin | _8472: also just google for metacity auto focus new windows and you will see all of them are complaints so it isn't a popular feature | 12:59 |
| DRMacIver | outbackwifi: I don't really know unfortunately. It's a laptop builtin (asus f5v series. Google is not informative). Proprietary drivers says "Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" and the laptop sticker says "802.11b/g" | 12:59 |
| asdf1234 | geirha: Thanks so much! Let me try what you've suggested. | 12:59 |
| DRMacIver | outbackwifi: lo and eth1 both reply "Interface doesn't support scanning" | 13:00 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: run lspci and pastebin the output | 13:00 |
| meescu | amarok is nuts! | 13:00 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: for i noticed there is nothing refering to that in linux but in windows it is labeled "XFX geforce 8600 gt Dell blah blah" | 13:00 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: ok its atheros and you need madwifi (the driver) | 13:00 |
| geirha | asdf1234: I don't think there are any radical changes done on ext3 between the different releases, but if there is, an older version might not be able to run fsck on it, it should alert you about this though, and will not harm your system (more than it is) | 13:00 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn_:how else shall it be connected ? changed your nick (??_) | 13:00 |
| _8472 | Haegin: don't worry i will try it first on some virtual pc & ubuntu or xubuntu laptop, to see those changes | 13:01 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn_:sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 13:01 |
| asdf1234 | geirha: noted. Thanks | 13:01 |

| meescu | orgthingy, a brand new ipod. works just fine on my mac. | 13:02 |
| DRMacIver | (By the way, it's DRMacIver, not DrMacIver. Initials, not qualification. :) ) | 13:02 |
| _8472 | Haegin: ok, might be it's not beloved option, but still, i've found lot of requests from people who would like it as i do. and also found articles about KDE and XFCE which have this option to enable or disable this | 13:02 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) <- that is your wireless | 13:02 |
| DRMacIver | ok. Thanks. | 13:02 |
| orgthingy | meescu : my iPod works on my ubuntu and linux mint as well :| | 13:02 |
| orgthingy | meescu : it seems that you messed up MAYBE BY MISTAKE! anyway, give it permissions to write :P (use sudo and gksudo) | 13:02 |
| meescu | orgthingy, thanks. I guess I'll stay with Mac until 8.10 | 13:02 |
| Haegin | _8472: gnome uses the sensible defaults, simple configuration design plan | 13:03 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: ok you need to blacklist the proprietary driver and build the new one | 13:03 |
| orgthingy | meescu : this has nothing to do with kernel/ubuntu | 13:03 |
| DRMacIver | ok. Will give that a go. Thanks | 13:03 |

| rajec | Haegin: totem media player? | 13:05 |
| Haegin | rajec: that can as well I think but mplayer is seperate | 13:05 |
| Haegin | !mplayer | rajec | 13:05 |
| ubottu | rajec: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs | 13:05 |

| ubuntu_ | does anyone know about installing ubuntu on a maxtor hard disk? | 13:06 |
| _8472 | Haegin: hmm, could you explain this please "gnome uses the sensible defaults, simple configuration design plan"? i'm not sure if i fully understand to this: "simple configuration design plan" | 13:06 |

| robelliott2125 | Anyone know how to use DeVeDe here? | 13:07 |
| ubuntu_ | but when i intalled it it doesnt start on its one | 13:07 |
| Haegin | _8472: simple configuration means that to keep it simple they don't offer every possible option, just the popular ones | 13:07 |
| ubuntu_ | it says something about start again under noapic functions which is possible with the cd to choose but not when u start the pc on its hard disk | 13:07 |
| robelliott2125 | ubuntu_, have you checked your BIOS settings then? | 13:08 |

| robelliott2125 | neeraj, you using pidgin? | 13:08 |
| ubuntu_ | what do i need to check it on? | 13:08 |
| asho791 | ubuntu_: maybe it wasn´t a clean install | 13:08 |
| neeraj | yes | 13:08 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: no.. its a desktop where linux is on an external hd. | 13:08 |
| Haegin | neeraj: it can be done in pidgin, just add a new account | 13:08 |

| antiritmo | anyone know how is the solution in cinelerra for (no debugging symbols found) | 13:09 |
| ubuntu_ | i installed the cd when i run it on the pc | 13:09 |
| neeraj | ok, but how to do voice chat? | 13:09 |
| robelliott2125 | neeraj, Accounts > Manage > Add | 13:09 |

| robelliott2125 | I don't know about that neeraj | 13:09 |
| Antaga | Yop! | 13:09 |
| Haegin | neeraj: you can't yet as far as i know | 13:09 |
| asho791 | anyone using 8.10 yet? Many differences? | 13:09 |
| robelliott2125 | ubuntu_, i would say anything about apic is bios, so check that. Also, check your boot options. | 13:09 |
| outbackwifi | asho791: #ubuntu+1 | 13:10 |
| robelliott2125 | I am here asho791, few differences, more annoyances. | 13:10 |
| neeraj | can gtalk will work on wine HQ? | 13:10 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 13:10 |
| ubuntu_ | i need to change that under ubuntu? | 13:10 |
| robelliott2125 | Check it neeraj | 13:10 |
| ubuntu_ | the startoptions? | 13:10 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: i can not afford a laptop remotely as good as this machine is. its a DELL... with DELL monitor... and an added XFX video card. dell dimension e521 | 13:10 |
| DRMacIver | Ok. I've installed madwifi and disabled the atheros drivers. I don't really see any difference though | 13:10 |
| robelliott2125 | No ubuntu_, in your BIOS | 13:10 |

| ubuntu_ | ok | 13:10 |
| ubuntu_ | what does it need to say in my bios? | 13:10 |
| neeraj | ok thanks | 13:10 |
| robelliott2125 | If you don't know what your doing ubuntu_, i wouldn't recommend you fiddle with your bios settings | 13:10 |
| Dedicated | is there no easy way to use QoS? | 13:11 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn_:so what did you meant with the question of direct connected ? its a normal lcd on normal graphic, then ? | 13:11 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: did you run the iwlist thing again? | 13:11 |
| DRMacIver | Yep | 13:11 |
| ubuntu_ | ok thanx | 13:11 |
| DRMacIver | No change | 13:11 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: also dmesg| grep Atheros | 13:11 |
| DRMacIver | outbackwifi: Nothing | 13:11 |
| ScheissDroge1 | ahh... other machine up again.. muharr | 13:11 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: sudo modprobe -v ath_pci | 13:12 |
| execute | can I set the default interface for connections somehow? | 13:12 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: i thinks so.. LCD directly connected to my video cards input and not my motherboards intergrated video | 13:12 |
| DRMacIver | Possibly I've done something wrong. Did I need to do more than disable atheros in the proprietary drivers screen and make all, sudo make install for madwifi? | 13:12 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: and you black listed ath5k and installed madwifi? | 13:12 |
| DRMacIver | Um. If "blacklisted" means more than "uncheck enabled" then no, probably not. :) | 13:12 |
| ScheissDroge1 | stran_: so nothing special, again your : pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:12 |
| DRMacIver | outbackwifi: Lists a bunch of modules. Shall I pastebin? | 13:13 |
| outbackwifi | ok | 13:13 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: if i change Device"Configured Video Device" to Device"nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8600 GT]" would that help? | 13:13 |
| Haegin | DRMacIver: ok, there are two atheros drivers. madwifi which is stable, works but is proprietary and ath5k which is new, fast, cool, open but doesn't work on all hardware | 13:13 |
| _8472 | Haegin: hm, this might be popular no? | 13:13 |
| starn_ | ok. ScheissDroge1i shall | 13:14 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn_: no thats not enough | 13:14 |
| DRMacIver | Hm. sudo modprobe -v ath_pci doesn't output anything now. Weird | 13:14 |
| interfear | Is there a GTK based torrent client that is similar to KTorrent? or what GTK clients would you all recommend? | 13:14 |
| Haegin | _8472: most people hate windows popping over the top. it is annoying as a small rabbit constantly gnawing on your kneecaps | 13:14 |

| interfear | havent tried it yet heh | 13:15 |
| moncojhr | interfear: i dont know what KTorrent is like, but i like deluge | 13:15 |

| Tim183 | need help with my atheros wireless card if anyone is available, thanks | 13:18 |
| Haegin | amt2: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:18 |
| biggerfisch | amt2: you need to install java for java applets to run | 13:18 |
| jrib | amt2: sun does not make a 64bit java plugin. The bug on their tracker is several years old as well. So there isn't one for 64bit. Your only option is to use the open-source java or to install a 32bit firefox and plugins | 13:18 |
| ScheissDroge1 | starn_: thought of installing nvidias driver ? | 13:18 |
| biggerfisch | amt2: go to www.java.com to install java | 13:19 |
| outbackwifi | DrMaciver: This is the only driver that seems to work with the Atheros cards now (AR242X) | 13:19 |
| outbackwifi | wget 'http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz' | 13:19 |
| starn_ | ScheissDroge1: they do the exact same as what i am going through right now | 13:19 |
| jrib | biggerfisch: please recommend that people use the java from the repositories instead | 13:19 |

| Tim183 | ActionParsnip1: that command is no good | 13:42 |
| adyroman | /etc/samba/smb.conf does not list it | 13:43 |

| adyroman | it's actually a laptop, but I don't think that makes a difference | 13:44 |
| adyroman | what main menu? | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | uffo: there is no best, are you going to be using windows? | 13:44 |
| adyroman | uffo: ntfs will also work on Windows... | 13:44 |
| airtonix | adyroman, you might have several types of shares nfs or samba or exposed ssh access? | 13:44 |

| uffo | but how reliable ntfs is on ubuntu, mostly i use in ubuntu for file sorage | 13:45 |
| Tim183 | they all get me to the same point, the wifi card is on and working but can't see the network AP | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | uffo: its fine, use ext3 if you are pure ubuntu | 13:45 |
| histo | uffo: you can get an ext3 fiel system extension for doze so you can read your files as well. | 13:46 |
| adyroman | ActionParsnip1: I have a Ubuntu laptop with some Samba shares (right click in Nautilus and share); I want to "unshare" a directory but I don't remember where it is on the filesystem so that I can right click and "unshare" it | 13:46 |

| airtonix | histo, microsofts ext2/3 driver is the worst. not reliable and not worth staying on windows for | 13:47 |
| uffo | currently there is ntfs and if you think it is fine and safe to use ntfs for file storage then it is fine by me but do i have to know something that causes problems or some hint that i do not know. i even download all files there | 13:48 |
| Tim183 | brb reboot | 13:48 |
| airtonix | uffo: why is ntfs there and where is it? | 13:48 |
| Haegin | uffo: ext3 has been far more tested on linux so unless you have a pressing need for ntfs (e.g. windows) then use ext3 | 13:50 |
| uffo | airtonix: it is on same hdd where ubuntu is installed, ubuntu is 7gb+swap 1gb and 112gb ntfs for files | 13:50 |
| airtonix | uffo, yeah im guessing you put ntfs there by habit? or is it required for access when you reboot into windows? | 13:50 |
| uffo | yes by habit | 13:50 |

| airtonix | uffo, ok you can remove it and reformat it to ext3. if you know you wont need to access that drive/partition when you bott that machione into windows(which it sounds like you dont have setup as dual boot) | 13:51 |
| airtonix | uffo, of cource back up your files first. | 13:51 |

| DIFH-iceroot | dpkg-reconfigure java says java is not installed, but it is (apt-get install sun-java5-jdk) java --version tells mir 1.42, so how can i use java 5 for default? | 13:53 |
| airtonix | uffo, infact i personally dont trust these crossbreeding drivers that step across halfarsed legal terrirtory..ntfs-g has narfed some of my files before so i see no point in dedicating a drive on my machine to a system that doesnt run on it. | 13:53 |
| jrib | DIFH-iceroot: why do you want to run that command? | 13:53 |

| airtonix | uffo, no. but if your not running windows on that machine it wont matter | 13:59 |

| airtonix | uffo, which is the normal course of action between two windows machines. | 14:00 |
| DIFH-iceroot | jrib: thank you, that was working, now java -version tells me 1.5 :-) | 14:00 |

| nada | hi | 14:25 |
| slashjamiec | Felix_Krull: try mounting your cd drive again, or get an automounter if you haven't one already | 14:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | for sending mails with mailx (into the internet) what should i use? sendmail? qmail? | 14:25 |
| Felix_Krull | slashjamiec: It appeared to be mounted. It is enough to go to Places and click on CD/DVD. | 14:25 |

| erUSUL | !addingfs | uffo | 14:26 |
| ubottu | uffo: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab | 14:26 |
| erUSUL | DIFH-iceroot: ubuntu's default mta is postfix but you can choose any of the others | 14:26 |
| erUSUL | !mta | 14:27 |
| ubottu | A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA | 14:27 |
| DIFH-iceroot | erUSUL: what is the best? for security and easy administration? i dont want to have a spam-host | 14:27 |
| erUSUL | !best | DIFH-iceroot | 14:27 |
| ubottu | DIFH-iceroot: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:27 |
| HymnToLife | sendmail ftw | 14:27 |
| uffo | airtonix: when i created ntfs and mounted it then it was writeable. how i can set permissions with GUI | 14:27 |
| * compgrokker likes postfix | 14:28 | |
| DIFH-iceroot | erUSUL: but i think with the second part of the question, there is a best or maybe a good one | 14:28 |
| Felix_Krull | slashjamiec: Okay, I have both /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0, where cdrom is a symbolic link. How to get/have automounter? And why I lost it, since it worked before? | 14:28 |
| |o | Hello | 14:28 |
| erUSUL | GoodFella: yes but probably is a meaningless internal ip adress and btw i can get that from irc | 14:28 |
| slashjamiec | reya276: iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --destination-port telnet, would block telnet ultimately | 14:28 |
| |o | Can you help me with nVidia-card? | 14:28 |
| HymnToLife | DIFH-iceroot: most likely, all of them will do | 14:29 |
| GoodFella | erUSUL: Ok...didn't know that...sorry, I'm new at this | 14:29 |
| slashjamiec | Felix_Krull: god only knows, mine done it yesterday, you'll just need to go to google and find out what ubuntu uses for an automounter, I haven't fixed mine just yet either | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | GoodFella: but anyway you can erase the ip from the paste is not important | 14:29 |
| GoodFella | erUSUL: and how do I send you the paste? | 14:29 |

| Test2o | Hi, I was trying to install Ubuntu on my new Centrino2 notebook using the 8.04.1-64bit CD. LiveCD works fine, but the installer freezes during its loading (i.e. when you see the bar). Is the 64bit the wrong CD, since the 32bit installer CD works? But Centrino2 has a Core2Duo .. | 14:29 |

| reya276 | slashjamiec: is there a way I can do this in IP Tables, the tutorial does not help much | 14:35 |
| slashjamiec | reya276: Eg, at the end of your IPTABLES file after blocking all the ports you don't want people to access, write for example, "iptables -A INPUT --mac-source 00:0B:DB:45:56:42 -j ACCEPT", where the mac address is yours (and follow on) | 14:35 |

| erUSUL | trakinas: how did you ended up with a pythion installed on /usr/local/ ?? | 15:02 |
| Haegin | trakinas: then you path has /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin (which is right) so uninstall the 2.4 from /usr/local/bin (probably installed from source) | 15:02 |
| lusepuster | I'll try and have a look. Something like a no line break at end of file /etc/X11/xinit.d/xinput/default (IIRC) | 15:02 |
| trakinas | erUSUL: no idea! oO | 15:02 |

| trakinas | erUSUL: someone was using this computer before me | 15:02 |
| steph_ | wubi is only the installer | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | trakinas: what happens is that /usr/local/ is earlier on the PATH variable and you use the one installed there | 15:02 |
| slashjamiec | steph_ I'm assuming that wubi just copies all the files to /boot and then goes from there? | 15:03 |
| uffo | i do not know what user i talked before but i managed to set ext3 disk from read only mode to full writable with root mode nautilus | 15:03 |

| steph_ | i think so | 15:03 |
| Kiffer_ | can someone help me with a hardware problem? (cdrom related) | 15:03 |
| adidust | steph_ so install the installer and the put the cd and reboot my computer and install ubuntu 8.04 from the cd? | 15:03 |
| lusepuster | ActionParsnip1, before that it asked me if I wanted to put [other-account].desktop as my default, and that something in the vein of Xsession-script wasn't installed properly or something | 15:03 |
| Haegin | ActionParsnip1: nice gtk theme | 15:03 |
| steph_ | its installed i booted and then in configured everything | 15:03 |
| adidust | @.@ | 15:04 |

| Haegin | slashjamiec: yeah, misread it | 15:04 |
| slashjamiec | thehe | 15:04 |
| slashjamiec | Haegin: You like? | 15:04 |
| Webu | slashjamiec, just thought where does that 20G disappear? Does ext3 take that? | 15:05 |
| lusepuster | ActionParsnip1, could it be due to me using useradd incorrectly? useradd -m -g users -p [password] [userlogin] - it obviously didn't work correctly either | 15:05 |
| slashjamiec | Webu: It's a bit of everywhere. Ext3, files, etc | 15:05 |
| Haegin | slashjamiec: have you seen gtk-theme-switch? it sets your gtk and gtk2 theme without needing to load the gnome libs etc which is great for fluxbox. you just install and run switch2 to set it up | 15:05 |

| kaushal | Kasian`, have you used putty if by any chance | 15:32 |
| kaushal | on Ubuntu | 15:32 |
| darren_ | slashjamiec: hi you still in here | 15:33 |
| slashjamiec | darren_ just, yeah | 15:33 |
| Masteredu | argento no | 15:33 |
| trakinas | jrib: thanks. i tried to get rid of it first, but it wasnt me who installed it. and the other person does not remember where she put the source. | 15:33 |
| saqimtiaz | I'm running it a very odd problem with wireless in Hardy and was hoping someone might have a clue as to what's going on. It works out of the box and I get good speeds. However, if I start downloading files, whether its using Transmission, Deluge, or just Firefox, after a few minutes the speed drops dramatically. That is from 900kibps to 60kibps. Just clicking on the wireless manager and reconnecting to the same network restores the speed | 15:33 |
| Masteredu | why no one | 15:34 |
| Masteredu | have a answer | 15:34 |
| darren_ | slashjamiec: thanks for the link but i had enable roaming switch on any idears what else it could be | 15:34 |
| jrib | trakinas: so grab the source again, or just rm the stuff in /usr/local/ manually | 15:34 |
| Masteredu | this is realy bad ... | 15:34 |
| slashjamiec | darren_ can you install a 3rd party app that will tell you the strength to the wifi? | 15:34 |
| argento | Masteredu, you can try windows vista, and you will have 3d effects for all users | 15:34 |
| trakinas | jrib: wont it broke everything? | 15:35 |
| slashjamiec | argento: here, here. :) | 15:35 |
| cchapman | agreeed argento or maybe mac os x | 15:35 |
| jrib | Masteredu: because no one knows the answer. Please just repeat your question later when new people are around and try the mailing lists and forums | 15:35 |
| trakinas | jrib: only doing rm -r everything. | 15:35 |
| Kasian` | kaushal: no, "ssh" is enough for me | 15:35 |
| jrib | trakinas: I didn't say everything | 15:35 |
| Kasian` | and for many others =) | 15:35 |

| slashjamiec | darren_ no problems | 15:36 |

| solvanora | does anyone know how i can tell the standard network manager in the terminal to choose the second connection option (or prefer the wireless one) so i have internet acces before my ubuntu session starts | 15:37 |
| msingh | is there a logical reason why xmms is no longer in hardy? | 15:37 |
| jrib | !xmms | msingh | 15:37 |
| ubottu | msingh: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. | 15:37 |
| msingh | audacious sucks | 15:37 |
| argento | solvanora, google i think theres a way making a script... | 15:37 |
| trakinas | jrib: hmmm.... if setting envirioment does not work, i will re-download the sources. thank you! | 15:37 |

| phece | all of a sudden my windows boot doesn't go past the "Starting up ..." screen immediately after choosing it from grub. any idea what the problem is? | 15:38 |
| msingh | jrib: i've used xmms for years.. audacious is slow and cumbersome | 15:38 |
| amenado | solvanora you have to nics using same gateways or two nics pointing to different gateways? | 15:38 |
| msingh | jrib: they are not the same thing | 15:38 |
| darren_ | hi can any one help i have a usb wireless and a built in wireless and the built in wireless does not show signel strength. i plued in the usb wireless into my girlfriends pc with the same driver and the signel strength shows up on her laptop can some one plaease help very annoying problem | 15:39 |
| slashjamiec | asingh: xmms rocks | 15:39 |
| trakinas | slashjamiec: Ive just disconnected from there after seing my girl on the cam. no problems so far, but their network is box full of surprises. | 15:39 |
| jrib | msingh: fork xmms then, to me they are the same exact thing | 15:39 |
| darren_ | sorry the usb wireless does not show sigel strength | 15:39 |
| msingh | jrib: have you even used both :P | 15:39 |
| Pici | msingh: That doesnt change the fact that xmms is no longer being developed. There are many outstanding bugs (and security bugs alike), that is why we are no longer including it. | 15:39 |
| jrib | msingh: yep, they just look like winamp clones | 15:39 |
| Pici | msingh: Please read the page that ubottu linked to. | 15:39 |
| amenado | darren_-> what was that? whose on first? :P clarify please | 15:40 |
| D1sa5t3r | foobar for life <3 | 15:40 |
| trakinas | msingh: audacious has the same aproach of xmms - be a winamp like (in terms of interface) player. | 15:40 |
| slashjamiec | trakinas: Yeah, well, i noticed about 5 people went offline on my list and then i got dropped out, and other people are having issues, too | 15:40 |
| Masteredu | what is the ubuntu forum | 15:40 |
| Masteredu | url? | 15:40 |
| Pici | Masteredu: //www.ubuntuforums.org. | 15:40 |
| msingh | jrib: heh they might look the same but they are very different programs when you use them | 15:40 |
| trakinas | D1sa5t3r: yes. foobar is really good. but in linux i really like Listen. | 15:40 |
| trakinas | slashjamiec: i was online until 3 minutes ago. | 15:41 |
| airtonix | one thing that all the 'winamp clones' fail to reproduce is the 'advanced visualisation studio'...which has recently been made opensource.. | 15:41 |
| Denise | someone knows what is orbit for? | 15:41 |
| slashjamiec | trakinas: bugger, thats when the dropout occured | 15:41 |
| darren_ | sorry wrote in wrong me and my girlfriend have laptops both with built in wifi.. i just got a plub in usb wifi and on my laptop it does not show signel strength but on my girlfriends laptop it does | 15:41 |
| darren_ | dam i can not write today | 15:41 |
| trakinas | Denise: never heard of. | 15:42 |
| msingh | Pici: maybe xmms is good enough the way it is .. it doesnt need to be developed further.. i just dont see a good replacement for it and i've tried a few few programs in lieue of that | 15:42 |
| slashjamiec | darren_ : one q, does ur gf use ubuntu? | 15:42 |
| Masteredu | when will ubuntu use kde ? | 15:42 |

| trakinas | Uranellus: you can stop it and remove from boot if you wish. but not sure about during install | 15:44 |

| Uranellus | trakinas: other than by deleting the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d .. how do I stop it from starting during boot? | 15:45 |
| darren_ | amenado: ok no idear what dmesg is new to ubuntu | 15:45 |
| jrib | msingh: convince debian to take it back then. The reasons are stated clearly there and it's more than what you just said | 15:45 |
| amenado | darren_-> on command line, type dmesg | 15:45 |
| trakinas | Uranellus: rc-update something-i-cannot-recall squid | 15:45 |
| msingh | jrib: i cant see them :s | 15:45 |

| amenado | darren_-> you should not have duplicate addresses | 15:50 |
| msingh | jrib: i've been using winamp at work and i think xmms is superior even to winamp! it puzzles me that it's being dropped.. i mean a program that mature and reliable (in my experience) shouldnt just get abandoned :| | 15:50 |

| outbackwifi | joseph: check this out --> http://inventgeek.com/Projects/shorts/lcdfix.aspx | 16:40 |
| erUSUL | Masteredu: if the two xserver are run by the same user thay will get the same Desktop folder no way i know around that | 16:40 |
| joseph | thks man | 16:41 |
| outbackwifi | joseph: this is not a Ubuntu problem nor is there a fix | 16:41 |
| Pici | Masteredu: So you have 2 computers, one screen for each. Same user logged on each? | 16:41 |
| outbackwifi | yw | 16:41 |
| outbackwifi | Aquahallic: go ahead | 16:41 |
| Aquahallic | I have a dir that's exported on my server that I mount up with fstab.. if my network isn't active at boot then my machine sits at starting portmap and nfs for a while | 16:41 |
| Masteredu | pici i have ONE computer and 2 screens in one computer inserted | 16:41 |
| Aquahallic | is there a way to have nfs not try to startup if there's no network attached? | 16:42 |
| Masteredu | and i have 2 x servers every screen have a x server but the 2 screen use the desktop folder of the 1 i will that the 2 screen have a desktop folder for itself | 16:42 |
| favro | Aquahallic: did you set a timeout in the fstab entry? | 16:42 |
| outbackwifi | aquahallic: put the mount command inside the ifup script | 16:42 |
| NicEXE | does ubuntu blocks any network ports by default? | 16:42 |
| Pici | NicEXE: No. | 16:42 |
| Aquahallic | favro no I didn't | 16:43 |
| erUSUL | NicEXE: no. it just do not have anything listening on them by default | 16:43 |
| outbackwifi | NicEXE: simple test--> sudo iptables -L | 16:43 |
| Aquahallic | outbackwifi: can you elaborate? | 16:43 |
| deldiablo | my notebook PC got a problem! Its causing a | 16:43 |
| joseph | outbackwifi: last time it happened I removes linux and installed vista. The unhappy thing of this all, is that it happened while I was showing a windoze user how cool linux is | 16:43 |
| deldiablo | too much noise/sound) | 16:43 |
| Aquahallic | actually.. let me tell you what I'd like to inevitably have work | 16:43 |
| Aquahallic | these are laptops... so we're not always connected to our network.... | 16:44 |
| outbackwifi | joseph: my sympathies | 16:44 |
| favro | Aquahallic: nfs soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr is how my entry ends | 16:44 |
| linkinschool | .. | 16:44 |
| TJ-42 | Can anyone recommend and easy solution for playing itunes store purchased songs in ubuntu? most of what I've found online is out of date. | 16:44 |
| deldiablo | laptops tend to suffer from bad hardware(and we blame whoever made em ^^) | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | Aquahallic: just make the fstab entry noauto and mount it when needed and connected | 16:45 |
| outbackwifi | aquahallic: my laptop has this script in /etc/network/ifup.d called mountnfs | 16:45 |
| Aquahallic | I tried noauto.... but this is a share for my mythtv frontends | 16:45 |
| djekmani4ever | hey all | 16:45 |
| outbackwifi | this gets called only when there is a network connection | 16:46 |
| soneil | TJ-42: most the hymn stuff gets broken with each itunes release. safest bet is the old standby of burning to CD within itunes, so you've always got a sane copy | 16:46 |

| Nimblefinger | hey...im wanting to be able to turn on an ubuntu server, then without doing anything else (such as logging in), for it to connect to a network and allow me to control it through ssh, firstly is this possible?

| pk1122 | i cannot hear any sound on ubuntu 8.04 | 17:04 |

| airtonix | cheeky,with that much physical ram, you should only need about 500mb - 1g of swap, although... erUSUL's point is good to remember so when you do want hibernation....the ram has somewhere to fit | 17:12 |
| benzss | pk1122: probably something conflicting with pulseaudio, but i can't think what. have you searched the forums? | 17:12 |
| outbackwifi | arunkumarv: look in the VLC forums | 17:12 |

| pk1122 | nope | 17:14 |
| newk | theres a load of servers down | 17:14 |
| airtonix | cheeky, your swap partition is equal to the virtual memory file you normally experience on windows. except: it doesnt get used until you real memory is full, and when you want to hibernate. | 17:14 |
| pk1122 | benzss, no | 17:14 |
| erUSUL | kunisch: well it seems to lack the driver line for one | 17:14 |
| outbackwifi | pk1122: lspci | 17:14 |
| airtonix | cheeky, when you hibernate, the entire contents of your physical ram will be dumped to the swap drive. so when you do hibernate you want to make sure you have enough space there for your real ram and any kind of overflow usage that may occur should you decide to run your system at full bore | 17:15 |

| ShackJack | HI all quick wifi question... My wifi card is recgonized and everything (an *old* Belkin PCMCIA) card.. the only issue is the WPA/WPA2 do not come up as options in nm-applet for connecting to a network. Was wondering if this was an issue with being an old card, or perhaps a setup/driver issue? | 17:22 |
| benzss | pk1122: and use the test button to see if you get sound that way | 17:22 |
| clint_ | but it was free...i had cs2 on my xp macine | 17:22 |
| benzss | pk1122: if that doesn't work, then maybe some of the early instructions in this thread will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 they helped me when i was having sound issues... apparently pulseaudio is pretty annoying and may not be helping you either | 17:23 |

| ShackJack | outbackwifi: Thanks for the link, however I'm looking for a way to enable selection of WPA2 networks from nm-applet as the instruction in that post will not be doable by the user.

| outbackwifi | ShackJack: not sure how to help you | 17:37 |
| erUSUL | Nimblefinger: mainly becouse i use jfs on root and home and wanted to avoid probelms with grub so boot is the standar ext3 | 17:37 |

| soppman | yo | 17:40 |
| soppman | any shntool user here? | 17:41 |
| Nimblefinger | erUSUL: so for someone fairly inexperienced, using ext3 is probably wisest as its one of the older more compatible ones? | 17:41 |
| Kl4m | AzizLight: for KDE: kdevelop | 17:41 |
| AzizLight | Kl4m: I think I'm gonna try Ajuta, Im under gnome | 17:41 |
| erUSUL | Nimblefinger: i allways used ext3 but with a new HD and installation wanted to try others and settled on jfs that's all | 17:42 |
| erUSUL | Nimblefinger: ext3 is a solid choice | 17:42 |
| pk1122 | benzss, yes | 17:42 |

| Spectacular | HELP! newcomer to ubuntu (from debian). i think i did a apt-get upgrade last night. when i booted up this morning, grub couldnt find the filename of the image to boot. a little tinkering, it seemed somehow some escape codes krept into the filename in the menu.list file. I managed to boot an old version of knoppix and fixed that file. Then it gives me this error: "kernel panic : not syncing; VFS; Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)" HEL | 17:46 |

| airtonix | hal_v2, i usually find some pearls of wisdom there | 17:46 |
| outbackwifi | Spectacular: you need to setup grub properly | 17:47 |
| === alain is now known as Guest52930 | ||
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, how? | 17:47 |
| airtonix | linkinschool, first firestarter isnt the firewall itelf...firestarter is merely a gui frontend. but when you first install you are in lockdown mode, no open ports for incoming traffic | 17:47 |
| outbackwifi | Spectacular: ok you need to first find out where your root partition is | 17:47 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, to clarify, i've been using ubuntu just fine for over a month. this just happened after an apt-get upgrade | 17:47 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, root partition is /dev/sda2 which i've mounted as /mnt/linux and chroot'ed | 17:48 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, next step? | 17:48 |
| outbackwifi | Spectacular: in /boot/grub/menu.lst does the kernel line reflect root correctly? | 17:48 |
| outbackwifi | Spectacular: like root=/dev/sda2 ? | 17:49 |
| linkinschool | airtonix, so if i don't start firestarter my ports are open? | 17:49 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, it says root (hd0,1) | 17:50 |
| outbackwifi | which is correct | 17:51 |
| outbackwifi | so why does your kernel panic say hd0,0 ? | 17:51 |
| arunvkumar | Spectacular: do thse stps | 17:51 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, no idea | 17:51 |
| arunvkumar | i suppose u mounted ur roor partnt to ths lctn /mnt | 17:51 |
| airtonix | linkinschool, when you install firestarter, it sets it self up to start at boot time and set the rules you specify. when you run firestarter from the menu, your only running the rule editor. the firewall is always running it was always their to begin with | 17:51 |
| arunvkumar | now do thse | 17:51 |
| outbackwifi | Sepctacular: get the grub prompt | 17:51 |
| arunvkumar | 1. sudo mount root-partition /mnt | 17:52 |

| ripper | After I used envyNG ubuntu 8.04 first wouldn´t recognize my ATI HD 4870. So I did a manual install with the 8.6 drivers it had. I then restarted my comp and it worked a little. Ubuntu 8.04 recongnized my ati hd 4870 but did not enable 3D acceleration when I did that and restarted Ubuntu didnt recongzied my video card anymore and ask me to pick a different driver. So i pick fglx for it thinking it should work. wrong! I had the same p | 17:57 |

| === dedi_away is now known as ded0 | ||
| Leon | The only thing I havent tried yet is net install | 17:58 |
| daftpunk | Hi,could someone help me please why is /etc/shadow showing ! instead of password hash for root? I don't remember setting up a root password during the instalation | 17:58 |
| outbackwifi | Leon: thinstation is better for that | 17:58 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, you were saying? | 17:59 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: tha's why there is a ! instead of a hash | 17:59 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, arunvkumar: (I have to wait for the livecd to boot again) | 17:59 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: becouse there is no root password | 17:59 |
| daftpunk | so I can still set the passwd up? | 17:59 |
| NicEXE | OK. I am trying to setup an FTP server but when I test it (remotely, not local) my client give me this error "Error:Failed to retrieve directory listing"... Any idea whats wrong? | 17:59 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: yep but you shouldn't | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | !root | daftpunk | 18:00 |
| ubottu | daftpunk: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:00 |
| outbackwifi | Spectacular: whenever you are ready | 18:00 |
| GREGURI | tel.net | 18:00 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, thanks, it'll take a minute or so to boot | 18:00 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: What I really want is just a server that has apt-get... | 18:00 |
| outbackwifi | Leon: on the thin client?? | 18:00 |
| daftpunk | erUSUL thanks, so every user has the same admin rights? | 18:01 |
| Leon | yeah the thing has 1 ide slot | 18:01 |
| Ardorin | Ok, so I want to be able to synchronize certain directories on my laptop and home pc whenever I connect the laptop to the home network. | 18:01 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: no only the users belonging to the admin group | 18:01 |
| NicEXE | can anyone help me setup an FTP server on my machine? | 18:01 |
| Ardorin | I'm using unison. The problem is that it always asks me to enter my password. | 18:01 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Just an svn repo and an ssh server | 18:01 |
| outbackwifi | Leon: calling it a thin-client is a misnomer if its going to be a server with apt-get | 18:01 |
| Filthpig | does anybody know if the ibex will come with ootb b43 support? | 18:01 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: the first user created belongs to admin. the others you create you have to add them | 18:01 |
| daftpunk | erUSUL ahh ok I understand. thank you | 18:02 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Well, it is quite crappy so I called it a client rather than a server rack | 18:02 |
| daftpunk | erUSUL I guess I can do exactly the same as root from first account | 18:02 |
| erUSUL | Filthpig: otb meaning no b43.fwcutter? no becouse the firmware can not be distributed | 18:02 |
| daftpunk | erUSUL thanks | 18:02 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: yep with sudo | 18:02 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Thing is I cannot get ubuntu to boot on my desktop pc to install and build the hdd into the server | 18:02 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Kernel Panic before I even get to the loading screen | 18:03 |
| outbackwifi | Leon: aw | 18:03 |
| Aquahallic | where does all the launchers under "Applications" actually reside on the disk? | 18:03 |
| Filthpig | erUSUL, ootb = out of the box. I see Broadcom has released a driver for various b43 chipsets | 18:03 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Its brand new, ASUS mobo, Intel CPU nothing fancy really... | 18:03 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Should I try another CD Drive | 18:04 |
| daftpunk | erUSUL so with no password set on root. Can't anybody just log in as root, just hit enter and leave the passwd blank? | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | Filthpig: ubuntu already ships with b43 and b43 legacy drivers | 18:04 |
| Pici | daftpunk: The password is locked, not blank. No one can login as root. | 18:04 |
| outbackwifi | Leon: you could test media first | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | daftpunk: no that's why the ! is there there is no string on earth that hash to a ! | 18:04 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: GParted boots fine | 18:04 |
| Filthpig | erUSUL, kay, I just saw some postings reporting problems. That might be fixed now, though | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | Filthpig: i do not claim the drivers are buggy free just saying that they are there and should work | 18:05 |
| daftpunk | ok then I guess I am good then, thank you | 18:05 |

| Leon | outbackwifi: The CD Boots fine on my mums computer but crashes when telling me it is unable to create the filesystem | 18:08 |

| gnuskool | ianliu_88: not sure mate :S | 18:09 |
| Leon | outbackwifi: Good point. will try a different CD THX | 18:09 |

| erUSUL | gnuskool: not of the programs he runs from a console | 18:10 |
| komputes | ianliu_88: mov and vlc is kind of tricky, it depends what kind of codec was used to compress the video, mov is just a quicktime wrapper\ | 18:10 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, so you were saying i should get to a grub prompt -- by running 'grub', correct? then? | 18:10 |
| alexut | uhm is this the wrong place to ask hw questions? | 18:10 |

| Kaushal | anybody here has used putty in ubuntu | 18:42 |
| smm289 | I have a ubuntu file server running. The server shares files with linux and windows clients. Why is my linux client connecting to the server share by using an smb:\\ address. isn't smb just for sharing to windows. I have the share on the server setup in samba and I setup the sharing properties using Nautilis. I've only been using ubuntu for about 2weeks now so i'm still a little nubish | 18:42 |

| Spectacular | outbackwifi, i think i did an apt-get upgrade last night. was late when i went to bed so i dont remember exactly. i tend to do those routinely and not think about it. that's the only thing i can think of that could have changed. i supposed perhaps apt upgraded either grub, or the kernel image or something | 18:42 |
| tab_shift | Any python freaks here ? | 18:43 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: just remembered something | 18:43 |
| bobertdos | Filthpig: Ah, okay, well.........It might be more of a flash issue I suppose. You could see if setting up a compose key would work for flash, maybe play with the input modes......... | 18:43 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: are you in chroot now? | 18:43 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: get to the grub prompt | 18:43 |
| Ardorin | let's say I install a package, and its dependencies, when I uninstall that packaged, the dependencies remain, how do I get rid of them? | 18:44 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, i was in chroot when i did all the grub stuff | 18:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tab_shift Try #python | 18:44 |
| metalistik | Hi | 18:44 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, currently i'm waiting for the liveCD to boot again, it's almost ready | 18:44 |
| tab_shift | Jack_Sparrow: unable to join that channel | 18:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | why | 18:44 |

| b3z3rk3r | oh well | 18:45 |
| puff | I'm seeing a lot more spam (hundreds of messages) getting through spamassassin (configured to run at the MTA level). Anybody know about this? | 18:45 |
| tab_shift | Jack_Sparrow: You need to be identified to join that channel, i already registered, identified everything | 18:45 |
| outbackwifi | smm289: no, they should use NFS | 18:45 |
| outbackwifi | smm289: no, they should use or SSH-FS | 18:45 |
| kitche | tab_shift: well your not identified that's for sure | 18:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tab_shift I can get in there just fine.. | 18:46 |
| Filthpig | bobertdos, I know it's worknig with flash on both mac and windows, so this is a linux-thing. Dunno if it is flash or linux's error, though | 18:46 |
| tab_shift | Jack_Sparrow: ok i'll chek it again | 18:46 |

| Pici | tab_shift: You need to confirm your email address, check your email. | 18:47 |
| bobertdos | Filthpig: Yeah, that is hard to say. You have your keyboard layout set appropriately, right? | 18:47 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, one sec -- what are the other things i need to mount, after the root partition, before doing chroot? i forget -- it scrolled up too far | 18:47 |

| PeterP24 | hi, I have a problem with videos running slow on full screen mode no matter the file format (.avi, .mpg, etc..), the size of the video or the player used. Can anyone help me please? | 18:47 |
| tab_shift | Jack_Sparrow: NickServ- You are now identified for tab_shift., and then again You need to be identified to join that channel | 18:47 |
| b3z3rk3r | livingdaylight_: just type /nick (then your nick) | 18:48 |
| Filthpig | bobertdos, sure. æøå is working just fine here, so I don't think x.org is to blame either | 18:48 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: dont mount anything | 18:49 |
| === livingdaylight_ is now known as kieko | ||
| outbackwifi | not even this partition | 18:49 |
| kieko | b3z3rk3r, thx | 18:49 |

| Filthpig | PeterP24, sounds like a graphics driver bleep to me, what card/driver/verion of ubuntu are you using? | 18:49 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, retrace | 18:49 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, so i'll exit out of the chroot? | 18:49 |
| bobertdos | Filthpig: Well, heaven knows things are far from perfect with Linux flash...........I would guess there is a n incompatibility between the player and the game. | 18:49 |
| SeanTater2 | I blacklisted a module and then restarted but lsmod is sure it's still here. Is that supposed to happen? | 18:50 |
| leeping2008 | No one here knows how to lock the Gnome panel? :( | 18:50 |
| tab_shift | why does #python require us to identify ? | 18:50 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: yes | 18:50 |
| outbackwifi | and umount the partition too | 18:50 |
| Spectacular | outbackwifi, it won't let me unmount it, says it's busy though i can't see where it's busy | 18:50 |
| LjL | tab_shift: that's a good question for #freenode | 18:51 |
| LjL | possibly | 18:51 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: you need to get out of the tree | 18:51 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: type cd after you ctl+d | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tab_shift Have you EVER joined that channel | 18:51 |
| tab_shift | LjL: will _that_ require us to identify as well ? ;-) | 18:51 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: so that you are not inside the directory | 18:51 |
| smm289 | is there a way to setup an NFS mount by using Nautilus | 18:51 |
| Pici | Jack_Sparrow: the channel is +r, unregged cannot join. | 18:51 |
| LjL | tab_shift: no :) | 18:51 |

| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 18:52 |
| b3z3rk3r | lol cheeky, you are still at it here? | 18:53 |

| EJ | [ outbackwifi]: thank you | 18:53 |
| Turl | erm, putty is for windows :p | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | spectacular: ok | 18:53 |
| klitchholt | there is a linux version | 18:53 |
| Templar_Xion | So I think NFS-common is bombing my system. How can I forcebly remove every aspect of it? Beyond apt-get remove nfs-common | 18:53 |
| Turl | for Ubuntu you can use ssh directly | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | Turl: its also for linux | 18:53 |
| klitchholt | but terminal ssh command works fine | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | Turl: for the CLI-challenged | 18:53 |
| Kaushal | Jack_Sparrow, any clue to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/putty/+question/44727 | 18:53 |
| Turl | ssh is much faster, putty had an encryption problem | 18:53 |
| cheeky | b3z3rk3r: sorry am iasking too many question ? | 18:53 |
| smm289 | I have a smb share working fine, but I also want my linux client to share that same location. is there a nice gui fronted to setup an nfs mount | 18:53 |

| Templar_Xion | bobertdos: How do you purge? :D | 18:54 |
| Filthpig | PeterP24, both running 64 bit and having that particular gfx card sounds like trouble to me. Which window manager are you using? metacity, compiz or something else? | 18:54 |
| b3z3rk3r | cheeky: no mate... ask all u want. | 18:54 |
| Templar_Xion | smm289: look up mount.nfs line, it's not that complicated. | 18:54 |
| r00t_ | any way to smb share a folder, and enable media streaming from that same folder? | 18:54 |
| outbackwifi | !mount.nfs | 18:54 |

| Spectacular | outbackwifi, before, after mounting the root partition, i mounted proc and something else the way the other fellow told me to, before doing the chroot, and then run grub. this time i didn't remember what the other things to mount or the options for proc, so i just mounted root and then ran grub, it took much less time to begin and when i tried that root (hd0,1) line it gave me some sort of error but i didn't pay much attention because you were telling | 18:54 |
| Spectacular | me other things. but let's be more specific and do it your way this time round | 18:54 |
| b3z3rk3r | cheeky: was just thinking it was funny, iv been in class for the past hour, and so not been able to be on | 18:54 |
| b3z3rk3r | cheeky: yet i come back, and its still the same ppl :) its great | 18:55 |

| _Zeus_ | RickZilla: no, almost all hardware will work out of the box | 20:06 |

| RickZilla | _Zeus_: Thanks | 20:06 |

| stdin | alphakamp: it used to be in memory, but some applications (like CD/DVD burning applications) sometimes use some dirs in /tmp to store temporary data. and that data can be larger than the available RAM | 20:07 |
| unop | xintron, there's a sample init script (in /etc/init.d i think) - can't remember what it was | 20:08 |
| xintron | unop: /etc/init.d/skelleton? | 20:09 |

| unop | xintron, rehash isn't really important - implementing start and stop should be enough, though restart is easy, just call stop and start | 20:10 |
| Armada | I'm having trouble sharing my sound card, I heard dmix might solve my problems, how do I get it? | 20:10 |

| evvvo | gaintsura: what do you use? | 20:17 |
| _Zeus_ | alphakamp: running a production server and playing around in firefox downloading files? i don't think so | 20:17 |

| Ob1Kn00b | nope, just a reboot, I noticed it renamed the boot partition, but that didn't cause a problem. Can i identify the partition through its uuid? | 20:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | jampiter: you mean the one that comes up to say things are loading once the computer has been turned on or re booted? | 20:41 |

| babo | MPSimmons, maybe i canned some extensions and that helped. I have less than i used to have | 21:01 |
| MPSimmons | babo: That's why I hate to ask. It's possible that one is causing it, though. For example, my computer is absolutely unusable with greasemonkey | 21:02 |
| erUSUL | !gksudo | SebNaitsabes | 21:02 |
| ubottu | SebNaitsabes: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:02 |
| ScheissDrogen | LjL:thank you anyway, gotta circle that problem | 21:02 |

| cheeky | erUSUL: is that right possibel with that PATH variable? | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | ConstyXIV: That's probably the easiest way, there are .debs available for ath9k but they were made because people's hardware wasn't supported by madwifi but was by ath9k, so there is a chance debs for ath5k are available somewhere too but I doubt it | 21:39 |
| soundray | lyk3n: yes | 21:39 |
| gecko2000 | Jordan_U: it give me the one options wich is IXP | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | gecko2000: running "asoundconf set-default-card IXP" should get your sound working again then | 21:40 |

| soundray | lyk3n: please talk to me in full sentences | 21:41 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, on my old install before i had to reinstall due to gfx being missed up. it worked fine | 21:41 |
| ConstyXIV | Stanton: do the lockups typically occur once you start hammering the network? | 21:41 |
| erUSUL | cheeky: you can modify it to suit your needs just that | 21:41 |
| gecko2000 | Jordan_U: so i should reboot my computer then? | 21:41 |

| soundray | thunderdan: have you followed a guide? | 21:43 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, not only that but my gfx still aint fixed..... | 21:43 |
| soundray | lyk3n: what you said, ifconfig | 21:43 |
| ckyle | whats the channel for asking about glibc calls and system calls, sockets api, etc? | 21:43 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, every time i try enabling the nvidia drivers it goes into low gfx mode.. "safe mode" | 21:43 |

| soundray | thunderdan: not sure what to suggest -- perhaps it'll work with an updated XP driver from the manufacturers web site? | 21:49 |
| fdgfdg | yeah i reckon it is because this is a sony laptop and keeps aside two partitions one for windows and its back up. the ext3 is for debian | 21:49 |
| thunderdan | soundray: i will try that next. thank you. | 21:49 |
| lyk3n | soundray: is there another way to access one hardy's installations shared files ,through a browser maybe | 21:49 |
| soundray | thunderdan: did you blacklist anything as you followed the ndiswrapper guide? | 21:49 |
| thunderdan | soundray: no | 21:49 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: Well, there is a lot to that question. Is the cable modem plugged into the hub or directly to the ubuntu machine? The cable modem will only give one machine an ip address. | 21:49 |
| thunderdan | !blacklist | 21:50 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 21:50 |
| soundray | lyk3n: not if you don't have a network connection between the two machines. | 21:50 |
| Edel_RSX | Does anyone know how to specify to network manager which location to load at boot? | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | Gecko2000: Same error from alsamixer? | 21:50 |
| ConstyXIV | Stanton: I think you have a Ralink based stick, which is probably causing the lockups | 21:50 |
| ConstyXIV | Stanton: | 21:50 |
| Gecko2000 | Jordan_U: oh.. didn't check it.. just a sec.. | 21:50 |
| ConstyXIV | Stanton: you cant use a wired network at all? | 21:50 |
| soundray | thunderdan: if the worst comes to the worst, get another USB adapter. Zydas devices work well and are often cheap | 21:50 |
| ag99 | felix: I have the cable modem plugged into the hub, then 2 computers into the hub | 21:51 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, if i recall it starts with b. kinda like breadcom.. | 21:51 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, nope | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | Edel_RSX: That feature is not available in hardy's version of nm, it will be available in the next version of Ubuntu though | 21:51 |
| thunderdan | soundray: i think that is what will have to be done. thanks again. | 21:51 |
| r_bender | I just installed ubuntu, and am running on old dell: 256mb ram. It's slow. How much ram should I be looking at | 21:51 |
| ConstyXIV | Stanton: okay, tell me the filename of the driver you're trying to use with ndiswrapper | 21:51 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: You need to have two nics in one machine. And use it as the firewall (nat). The plug the other nic in the firewall machine into the hub as well as the second computer. Then you either need to setup static ip addresses or DHCP server on the NAT machine. | 21:51 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, like i said though i had an install of same ubuntu but had mayjor gfx issues so i removed it and reinstalled. | 21:51 |
| Edel_RSX | Jordan_U: so is there anyway I can get a DNS search path added to my resolv.conf everytime and not get overwritten? | 21:51 |
| ConstyXIV | Stanton: it'll be *SOMETHING*.inf | 21:52 |
| soundray | c_lisp: if you enter find $PWD -maxdepth 1 it will list the full path, not ./... | 21:52 |
| Gecko2000 | Jordan_U: yes, same problem "no such device" | 21:52 |
| lyk3n | soundray: how can i connect the two computers .i just need one pc as a server but i don't know any server side scripting or ubuntu networking | 21:52 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, um what sec | 21:52 |
| soundray | lyk3n: do you have a router on the network? | 21:52 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: Do you mean like assign in /etc/network/interfaces which ESSID to associate with by default, or? | 21:52 |
| lyk3n | soundray: yes | 21:52 |
| Marc | Does anybody know how to sort installed packages by time of installation? | 21:52 |
| soundray | lyk3n: do you know the router's IP address? | 21:52 |
| lyk3n | soundray: yes | 21:53 |
| ag99 | felix: ok thanks. I will try it out. | 21:53 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: no; just need to get append an entry to the search path every time so that it searches my lab network which I'm never a 'member' of | 21:53 |
| sstringham | marc: rpm -qi | awk '{crazy awk script}' | 21:53 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: Sure, otherwise you need a router of some sort. That would be the easiest way of setting it up. Not necessarily the cheapest though. | 21:53 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, WUSB54GSC.inf | 21:53 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: Can't you add another line in /etc/resolv.conf for that? | 21:53 |
| Marc | sstringham: thanks. | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | lyk3n: Just install a DHCP server on the box that you want to be the server and connect the two via ethernet | 21:54 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: no; because it gets overwritten everytime Network Manager does anything | 21:54 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, oh i think i just remmebered my prob.. i used the .dll files from my vista install and the .inf was for xp.. could this cuase lockups? | 21:54 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: Ah, got it.. in cases like that I tend to make a shell script to fix it for different locations. :) | 21:54 |
| guntbert | sstringham: rpm in ubuntu? | 21:54 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: I don't need it different for different locations; I need it always | 21:54 |
| === justin__ is now known as J-_ | ||
| lyk3n | Jordan_U: how would you secure something like that | 21:55 |
| ScheissDrogen | guntbert: sstringham: rpm in ubuntu? see !alien | 21:55 |
| ScheissDrogen | !alien | 21:55 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 21:55 |
| === _UsUrPeR_ is now known as UsUrP_away | ||
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: it doesn't hurt me if it tries to search and can't find anything | 21:55 |
| Jordan_U | Stanton: Trying to get a broadcom card working? Have you tried system -> administration -> Hardware or b43-fwcutter ? | 21:55 |
| Winston_SmithVTT | Does anyone know anything about the Linuxant drivers? I seem to be having a problem with my connection randomly dropping. If I try to redial it indicates the modem is not responding. | 21:55 |
| ag99 | felix-da-catz: I have an extra nic. I am a novice at networking though. I'll go get it and install it. | 21:55 |
| Stanton | Jordan_U, its an usb adaptor. | 21:55 |
| soundray | lyk3n: can you ping the router's IP from both Ubuntu machines? | 21:56 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: I reckon you could do something with the interfaces ifup or post commands to run a script to append the search line after association. | 21:56 |
| Marc | rpm cannot query packages installed with apt. Any other ideas? | 21:56 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: so basically whether I get an address at X.com (office) or Y.com (home) or whatever else, I always want test.X.com searched... yeah I found a way to get it done for the vpn client easily enough | 21:56 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: I will be around for another hour. cables modes will only give out one ip address though. | 21:56 |
| Jordan_U | Marc: rpm ? | 21:57 |
| Jordan_U | Marc: Debian / Ubuntu use dpkg | 21:57 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: That sounds an awful lot like my situation. I keep most of my servers at home and VPN into them when I'm out. Still haven't nailed down resolving internal hostnames yet. | 21:57 |
| Stanton | ConstyXIV, think my lockups would stop if i reinstall the drivers but using WUSB54GSCvis? seeing how my dll files are from my vista install? | 21:57 |
| ag99 | felix-da-catz: both systems can use the same ip for internet access? | 21:58 |
| Marc | Jordan_L: yes but how? I'm looking for a way to sort packages by installation time | 21:58 |
| g[r]eek | Hi I am having the strangest problem. Any media, be it sound or video, is playing back _very_ slowly all of a sudden. | 21:58 |
| g[r]eek | I've opened up system monitor, my CPU and memory are hardly being used. | 21:58 |
| Jordan_U | Stanton: I am pretty sure that you'll need ndiswrapper then, for future purchases stick with real PCI cards, they are much better supported and don't eat up CPU / hog a port like USB adapters :) | 21:58 |
| cads | is there a profile launcher for gnome terminal, like what is available for konsole? | 21:59 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: basically I'm at company X, and we have all of the test machines that they use for "real activity" on their own subnet | 21:59 |
| lyk3n | soundray: could you do the same with a network switch ,i just saw the net connections are both attached to a switch then a spare ethernet connection is set up for the wireless router | 21:59 |
| Stanton | Jordan_U, it runs perfectly on my windows install... and it use to work perfectly for ubuntu. | 21:59 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: so I'm never a member of that domain but I ssh into it constantly | 21:59 |
| Stanton | Jordan_U, it stoped working after i had to remove ubuntu and install it again. | 21:59 |
| mydoghasworms | Of Canon, HP and Samsung printers, which are best supported in Linux? | 22:00 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: I grok. I've been fiddling with openvpn for a while now trying to get my VPN subnet to resolve hostnames on my internal LAN, much like your setup. | 22:00 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: aliases could work but its not a good general solution | 22:00 |
| cads | I'd like an an icon on the panel to click and view a list of my shell profiles, is this possible with existing applets? | 22:00 |
| soundray | lyk3n: if you don't have a router on the wired LAN, you will have to configure your wired interfaces manually to have static IP addresses | 22:00 |
| fdgfdg | if i am already dual booting with debian and xp and then clean ou the debian partition and install ubuntu in its place with their be problems with the bootloader ? | 22:00 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: We have the at&t client thrusted down our throats | 22:00 |
| Edel_RSX | wasn't hard to fix that one :-) | 22:00 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: No, only one machine can have a public IP address through the cable modem | 22:00 |
| mm_ | ciao | 22:01 |
| Gecko2000 | erUSUL: what was it that you had wanted me to try??? Jordan_U's way didnt work :( | 22:01 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: Guh, tell me about it. I just kludged that together to run on my Ubuntu 64 box the other day for work. | 22:01 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: never had this problem before on any other distro version in the past 4-5 years | 22:01 |
| soundray | lyk3n: if you're working via the wireless interfaces, your router should have assigned IP addresses to the hardy machines. | 22:01 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: That is what NAT does though. Is allows you to share that one public ip address through private addressing. | 22:01 |
| x_ | Hi | 22:01 |
| Stanton | Jordan_U, and only reason i did that is i could not get 3d gfx in ubuntu with my 8600 gt.. and even with a fresh install using the device drivers or w/e dont work they go to low gfx mode... every time i turn 3d on... and i have had an headache over this for over 2 weeks. | 22:01 |
| x_ | I'm trying to access my ntfs volume but I can't | 22:01 |
| x_ | I'm getting a hal-storage error | 22:01 |
| x_ | how do I get this fixed? | 22:01 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: Wait, are you saying you managed to get a different VPN client working for you instead of the ATT one? Because that would rock. | 22:01 |
| Stanton | x_ did you try forcing the mount? | 22:01 |
| x_ | Something like this | 22:01 |
| x_ | hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 | 22:01 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: So the cable modem connects directly to one machine and one nic. Then that same machine through the second nic connects to the HUB with the other machiens on your network. | 22:01 |
| mm_ | How remove firefox? | 22:01 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: no I got the ATT one to work properly for me | 22:02 |
| x_ | Stanton, no | 22:02 |
| Stanton | x_ thats what i had to do.. i dont remember the commands off hand though | 22:02 |
| x_ | Stanton, Is there a way to fix this so I can get it running automatically? | 22:02 |
| grishnak | Hello | 22:02 |
| Goosemoose | anyone see something wrong with this that would cause it to fail with 127 error : d-i preseed/late_command string wget http://10.0.2.131/post_install_tasks && chmod +x ./post_install_tasks && ./post_install_tasks | 22:02 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: I havent tried this, but here is a HOWTO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713874 | 22:02 |
| x_ | mount /dev/sdb1 -t ntfs | 22:02 |
| ag99 | felix-da-catz: ok I think I get it. | 22:02 |
| Edel_RSX | Moleprince: want me to find the file I edited to get that setting to stay? | 22:02 |
| mohshami | hey guys, we are planing on switching away from windows at the office, I'm in charge of the project and planing to use ubuntu for the desktops, does anybody know of a tool to allow me to manage updates and patches? | 22:02 |
| Stanton | x_ if i recall forcing a mount does so... | 22:02 |
| grishnak | Can anyone point me in the direction of a good Irc client for ubuntu? | 22:02 |
| grishnak | I need to be able to join a diff network and stuff | 22:02 |
| grishnak | kind of like mirc | 22:02 |
| Stanton | x_ some where in there should be -f if i recall | 22:03 |
| soundray | mm_: why do you want to remove firefox? It's a more or less essential part of an Ubuntu desktop | 22:03 |
| mohshami | grishnak: what about xchat? | 22:03 |
| Moleprince | Edel_RSX: Yes please, feel free to PM me it. I'm at work so may get lost otherwise. | 22:03 |
| Wile | Hello, How can I select the audio device used by default by Pulseaudio ? | 22:03 |
| grishnak | this is xchat | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | Goosemoose: Does the command string get passed to a shell? | 22:03 |
| felix-da-catz | ag99: NAT came about to solve the whole were running out of IP addresses problem. Quite a history to it. | 22:03 |
| grishnak | I cant figure out how to change networks though | 22:03 |
| ScheissDrogen | grishnak: i like pidgin | 22:03 |
| Goosemoose | Jordan_U, yes it's supposed to | 22:03 |
| farmakotriftis | buntu-gr | 22:03 |
| lyk3n | soundray: i usually run one machine off the switched network,then i'll have another machine on with the wireless in the next room.I was hoping i could have the shared files accessed like that.is it possible | 22:04 |
| mohshami | grishnak: ^+T | 22:04 |
| ScheissDrogen | Wile: asoundconf-gtk | 22:04 |
| soundray | lyk3n: yes, it should be possible, but you have to find a setup where you can ping one machine from the other | 22:04 |
| grishnak | Thanks. | 22:04 |
| mohshami | any time | 22:04 |
| Gecko2000 | Jordan_U: so it gave me the same error message.. any other ideas?? | 22:05 |
| lyk3n | soundray: ok | 22:05 |
| Stanton | x_ did you do this? "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t ntfs" | 22:05 |
| Marc | In case anybody is interested: Synaptic File/History shows what I was looking for. Now just need a find a way to get that info thru dpkg | 22:06 |
| soundray | Stanton: that's missing a mountpoint | 22:06 |
| Stanton | eh ty soundray | 22:07 |
| [[thufir]] | do I install tomcat through synaptic? I'm not finding it | 22:07 |
| Stanton | x_ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/scd0 -t (vfat, ntfs-3g) but with your sdb1 if thats the drive. | 22:07 |
| Marc | Bye guys. | 22:07 |
| Edel_RSX | felix-da-catz: and here I thought NAT came about to solve the problem of being able to address individual machines behind a firewall :-) | 22:08 |
| lyk3n | soundray: would it be easier to use a vnc for this setup | 22:09 |

| danbhfive | Edel_RSX: yeah, I thought what you are thinking. Isn't IPv6 the solution to running out of ipaddresses? | 22:09 |
| Stanton | well i gtg | 22:09 |
| ayilmaz | my wireless card stopped working.. either i did something wrong OR it died. Is there a tool to test wireless card thoroughly? | 22:10 |
| danbhfive | Edel_RSX: wait, NAT IS a solution to having only one allocated IP address, and needing multiple computers, so, nevermind | 22:10 |

| lyk3n_ | soundray: would it be easier with a vnc or a remote viewer from the synaptic | 22:12 |
| soundray | lyk3n: it's pointless while you don't have a working network connection between the machines | 22:13 |
| soundray | lyk3n: it's like asking "will a red telephone work instead of the white one" when your house isn't connected to a landline | 22:13 |
| ayilmaz | ScheissDrogen: I spent 4 hours yesterday.. before spending more, i want to make sure if the card is intact | 22:13 |
| danbhfive | Moleprince: fstab IS the way to do it, I think. Why don't you want to use fstab? | 22:13 |
| soundray | MrBrooks: System-Preferences-Screensaver. Untick the "Lock..." box | 22:13 |
| NoMax_ | Hello anyone know of a USB wifi that will work in adhoc mode? | 22:14 |
| ScheissDrogen | ayilmaz: only card ? | 22:14 |
| Edel_RSX | danbhfive: I'm going to disagree there is a fundamental difference | 22:14 |
| Moleprince | danbhfive: Because I have half a dozen SD cards and I don't want to have to define an entry for each one. USB automounts fine without superuser. | 22:14 |
| MrBrooks | soundray: thx! | 22:14 |
| Edel_RSX | danbhfive: with nat noone outside knows that there are multiple users behind it | 22:14 |
| ayilmaz | ScheissDrogen: yes, I want to test the card only. Right now, I'm using ethernet.. so, other things should be okay | 22:15 |
| Edel_RSX | danbhfive: with IPV6 they all get their addresses | 22:15 |
| Goosemoose | hmm, my preseed has : tasksel tasksel/first multiselect edubuntu-desktop but when them machine booted just came to the terminal | 22:15 |
| Goosemoose | why didnt it start with the desktop? | 22:15 |
| ScheissDrogen | ayilmaz: only card in pc ? | 22:15 |
| danbhfive | Moleprince: then just use the mount location, instead of UUIDs | 22:15 |
| ayilmaz | ScheissDrogen: laptop | 22:15 |
| lyk3n_ | soundray: how can i use "connect to server" under the "places" menu | 22:16 |
| ScheissDrogen | ayilmaz: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit | 22:16 |
| ScheissDrogen | ayilmaz: hwinfo >hw.txt && pastebinit hw.txt | 22:16 |
| soundray | lyk3n_: forget it, it won't work until you have a link to the server machine. Once you've got that, it'll be obvious. | 22:16 |
| ScheissDrogen | whats wrong if ff can do internet but terminal (apt) can't ? if I boot to terminal, it also works | 22:17 |
| Gecko2000 | thanks for the help.. managed to fix the sound problem. cyaz | 22:17 |
| danbhfive | Edel_RSX: thats true, if the original reason for an ISP not giving you more than one IP address was for lack of IP space. Even with IPv6, if an ISP only gives you one address, I assume that you will still need a NAT | 22:17 |
| ScheissDrogen | ayilmaz: url ? | 22:17 |
| ayilmaz | installing... | 22:17 |
| Moleprince | danbhfive: Why does it work for USB sticks but not SD cards, though? | 22:17 |
| Edel_RSX | danbhfive: exactly | 22:17 |
| Jordan_U | Can you pastebin the errors you get from apt, also does ping work? | 22:18 |
| Edel_RSX | danbhfive: and they are only going to give you one ip address unless you pay them for another connection :-) | 22:18 |
| danbhfive | yeah | 22:18 |
| guntbert | ScheissDrogen: maybe you got different proxy settings? | 22:18 |
| soundray | ScheissDrogen: perhaps there is a problem specific to the archive server. Have you tried pinging it? | 22:18 |
| lyk3n_ | soundray:thanks you've been a big help, everything i found was for a windows to ubuntu network | 22:18 |
| ScheissDrogen | Jordan_U: me ? | 22:18 |
| Jordan_U | ScheissDrogen: Yes | 22:18 |

| Edel_RSX | danbhfive: but imagine you are a company; you don't want or need every machine to have a public IP.. but you still want them all to be able to get to the internet | 22:19 |
| danbhfive | Moleprince: I really don't know, sorry. I would take a look at how they are being mounted, ie, what the locations are. Maybe that will give you some clues : sudo blkid | 22:19 |

| nada_ | what is the preferred method of installing acroread these days? | 22:53 |
| ScheissDrogen | NoCigar:if the regular installer is buggy and you don't have one for netinstall especially it will be easiest to get (any) proper cd | 22:53 |

| metho | do i need to manually add 1074x entry in xorg.conf | 22:54 |

| kavelot | any ideas on why sound wouldn't work on one Ubuntu user account, but would work on another? also, after a few reboots it starts to work again | 23:25 |
| darren | geoaxis: Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 23:25 |
| soundray | metho: yes. Intrepid is supposed to work without xorg.conf | 23:25 |
| phobik | anyone know if you install a ubuntu system with lvm, can you remotely resize the root (/) volume? I seem to remember this will kill the system | 23:25 |
| strategy | When i scroll a whole bunch with the scroll button on my mouse or the arrow keys, after a while if i let up on the scroller, it will still continue scrolling for a bit. Does this for most apps, but it's particularly bad in firefox&epiphany. Anyone know what this is or where it could be coming from? | 23:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | phobix: the Ubuntu install partition can be resized from Live CD | 23:25 |
| ScheissDrogen | soundray: Jack_Sparrow: and 5 min before it was a ati 9800 ... | 23:25 |
| Bleep | well it did not give me a option when i logged out however the gui screen has hibernate whtch is what i want it to do when it comes back on say from power outage | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 23:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | !resize | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about resize | 23:26 |
| tabakhase_ | 8.x live cd dont boot on my notebook =( | 23:26 |
| tabakhase_ | just 6.x works | 23:26 |
| soundray | ScheissDrogen: you think we're dealing with a troll? | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | phobik You are probably asking for trouble trying to resize lvm remotely | 23:26 |
| phobik | I have only ssh access to the server | 23:26 |
| geoaxis | darren: ok, can you do a dmesg -c and clear dmesg, then put in the card again and post output of dmesg on pastebin.ca | 23:26 |
| ScheissDrogen | tabakhase_: what kinda laptop | 23:26 |
| darren | geoaxis: wirless network (unknow usb device) in network manager | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tabakhase_ # To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 23:26 |
| darren | geoaxis: ok 1 sec | 23:26 |
| metho | ScheissDragen: got two ati radeo 9800 pro and nvidia wen ati did not work and u guys did have an answer then decision was made to throw my nividia which also does not work | 23:27 |

| metho | so i am screwed | 23:27 |
| eightyeight | is it possible to burn a cd while booted off of the livecd? | 23:27 |
| geoaxis | phobik: u can remotely resize lvm, but not having your primary system files on it | 23:27 |
| tabakhase_ | Jack_Sparrow quiet and splash is ok i think | 23:27 |
| ScheissDrogen | soundray: dunno, hopefully he or better it called down, got rofl#'s of four others, too | 23:27 |
| strategy | eightyeight, sure, if you have multiple CD drives. | 23:27 |
| soundray | metho: just go to #ubuntu+1 and describe your problem there | 23:27 |
| tabakhase_ | works with installed system Jack_Sparrow | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | metho Dosent change the fact that you are in the wrong room | 23:27 |
| eightyeight | strategy: nope. just one drive | 23:27 |
| ScheissDrogen | tabakhase_: mom, looking up | 23:27 |
| strategy | eightyeight, it also might pull the entire CD into Ram, in which case you could, but i really dunno -_- | 23:28 |

| ScheissDrogen | tabakhase_: enough for hardy, cheched cd for defects (installer option) | 23:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tabakhase_ that sounds like a bad burn or download | 23:29 |

| strategy | balz, okay. i'm jsut having some weird problem - thought that might fix it. dunno what drivers im using. | 23:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | howdoo: HP probably have drivers, but if not you may have to use Windows ones with ndiswrapper | 23:48 |
| balz | strategy: what's the problem? | 23:48 |
| strategy | balz, i've been posting it periodically since it gets flooded out.. one sec | 23:49 |
| soundray | tabakhase_: good, it's mounted alright then. Is /boot/grub/ populated? | 23:49 |
| howdoo | do you mean seb that hp would have linux drivers? | 23:49 |
| solexious | [Q] Can any one recomend a commandline pop mail client? | 23:49 |
| strategy | Balz, When i scroll a whole bunch with the scroll button on my mouse or the arrow keys, after a while if i let up on the scroller, it will still continue scrolling for a bit. Does this for most apps, but it's particularly bad in firefox&epiphany. Anyone know what this is or where it could be coming from? | 23:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | howdoo: well if your lucky yes for your device | 23:49 |

| balz | strategy: that's a hardware insufficiency. your computer is too slow | 23:49 |
| howdoo | or that i somehow use windose drivers in linux | 23:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | howdoo: yes | 23:49 |
| strategy | balz, oh noes!! what do i need to upgrade? ram? video? CPU? | 23:50 |
| balz | strategy: i used to get that A LOT when i was running ubuntu on an old toshiba satellite. It happened a lot with firefox | 23:50 |
| howdoo | i doubt hp would support linux | 23:50 |
| howdoo | they don't even support xp | 23:50 |
| SebNaitsabes | well they seem to for printers at least | 23:50 |
| tabakhase_ | soundray dont realy understand you, but /boot is empty (just lost+found) | 23:50 |
| balz | strategy: it depends on what your hardware specs are. What are you running as far as OS and hardware? | 23:50 |
| howdoo | the one i have only works with vista | 23:50 |
| howdoo | of course i'm running ubuntu now only thing is the wifi thing doesn't work | 23:50 |
| SebNaitsabes | yes that's common with Linux | 23:50 |
| howdoo | plus that bios bug line concerns me | 23:50 |
| SebNaitsabes | ,because the manufactures can't be botehred to suppourt it properly | 23:51 |
| strategy | balz, Hardy(8.04 not sure if that matters), 512MB of RAM, Intel onboard chipset(82845G, Brookdale-G), Pentium 4 2.3GHz Processor... | 23:51 |
| howdoo | if i bought a laptop say from dell with ubuntu on it would it work perfect.. i mean the wifi too | 23:51 |
| Frog42 | hey leute | 23:51 |
| Frog42 | kann hier jemand deutsch | 23:51 |
| Frog42 | ? | 23:51 |
| soundray | tabakhase_: okay, we have to take a little detour and copy your kernels and grub files to the new /boot. Run 'sudo umount /boot' to start | 23:51 |
| strategy | howdoo, it would have all the drivers, so proably yes | 23:51 |
| balz | strategy: that sounds pretty decent... are you running compiz and compiz effects? | 23:51 |
| ugarit | doesn't memcached already do this http://www.peertopatent.org/patent/20080162680/activity | 23:51 |
| laeg | my mouse if broken - is there a keyboard shortcut to access the applicartions menu? i know i can move around firefox with alt and tab etc but i can't get focus on the applications menu | 23:52 |
| soundray | tabakhase_: then 'sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt' | 23:52 |
| tabakhase_ | soundray could we private message? its easyer for both =) | 23:52 |
| balz | strategy: what you can try is right clicking on the desktop, going to change wallpaper, then selecting the tab with desktop effects and selecting "none" | 23:52 |
| strategy | balz, Not sure. I never specifically enabled anything, but i see it in the process list i think.. | 23:52 |
| flip | i really hope i get wireless working here --- i really really really dont wanna have to reinstall vista | 23:52 |
| MacPai1 | welches schreibprogramm funktioniert unter der bu8sybox | 23:52 |
| balz | strategy: by default you may have compiz effects enabled. See my previous message | 23:52 |
| strategy | balz, alright. | 23:52 |
| sammino | hi, i have ubuntu running on my laptop for some time now, but i have noticed due to some softwares i need, i gotta get a windows too.. i seen tons of docs on installing linux dual boot with windows was first there.. is there somewhere i can find docs on how to install windows dual boot after ubuntu is installed? | 23:53 |
| soundray | tabakhase_: #ubuntu-classroom is free, let's meet there | 23:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | flip: what wireless issues? | 23:53 |
| danbhfive | flip: whats your wifi card? | 23:53 |
| tabakhase_ | fine | 23:53 |
| strategy | balz, that fixed it! thanks very much! | 23:53 |
| balz | strategy: the fact that you have onboard graphics could contribute to the slowdown since compiz uses some more significant graphical power | 23:53 |
| flip | danbhfive: SebNaitsabes: i believe its an Intel 3945 --- i cant see it in dmesg at all; its a Lenovo T60p | 23:53 |
| strategy | balz, if i upgrade my RAM from 512 to, say, 2GB, would i be able to enable compiz once again? | 23:53 |
| laeg | is there a shortcut to access the applications menu on the desktop without a mouse? | 23:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | flip: what type of device? | 23:54 |
| balz | Strategy: np. You have plenty of ram for a non-gaming desktop. if you want to run the desktop effects then you should get a graphics card. | 23:54 |
| flip | SebNaitsabes: its a Lenovo T60p laptop | 23:54 |
| balz | Strategy: or you can run xubuntu | 23:54 |
| strategy | balz, Okay. | 23:54 |
| SavageOne | howdie folks | 23:54 |
| SebNaitsabes | flip: ok well have you found out if it has Linux drivers? | 23:54 |
| balz | strategy: are you using a desktop or a laptop? | 23:54 |
| SavageOne | if I want to try out ubuntu studio | 23:54 |
| SavageOne | can it be installed over my 8.04 of regular ubuntu | 23:54 |
| flip | SebNaitsabes: no i havent--- im looking now actually | 23:54 |
| SavageOne | or do I have to do the full distro? | 23:54 |
| sammino | anyone? | 23:55 |
| flip | SebNaitsabes: ipw3945 | 23:55 |
| flip | is the driver | 23:55 |
| SebNaitsabes | SavageOne: Ubuntu is well Ubuntu. you can have Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Sutio, and others | 23:55 |
| SebNaitsabes | SevageOne: all in the same install if you get me | 23:55 |
| SebNaitsabes | flip: so they had Linux driver? | 23:55 |
| strategy | balz, custom-built desktop i built a LOOONG time ago | 23:55 |
