| timo | unop: http://pastebin.com/m26c958ea | 00:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Syslq There will be more op's | 00:00 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: but look another problme is dual boot. | 00:00 |
| unop | tvanover, don't parse ls like that.. the output of ls wasn't meant to be parsed. find . -user tvanover -exec chown anotheruser {} \; | 00:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Iris Save your files first | 00:00 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: with windows :( | 00:00 |
| gabbar | Jack_Sparrow - i want to install ubuntu. will my system work on ubuntu? i mean the ethernet card sound card etc., | 00:00 |
| unop | timo, wrong use of sudo | 00:01 |
| unop | timo, no. shopt -s extglob; sudo rm -r !(home) | 00:01 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: I don't care about the OS but do I gonna be able to get into the ubuntu again and save it ? | 00:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gabbar We use a livecd that does not install so people can test thier hardware on this is | 00:01 |
| spunk | g'nite all! | 00:01 |
| Syslq | Heh, dual boot in age of virtual machines :). Just makes no sense | 00:01 |
| timo | Files are still there | 00:01 |
| PHAZE | i was just kinda of confused with the ubuntu file structure like in windows all your new install go in program files where do your new installs go in ubuntu ? | 00:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Iris save /home and you are well on your way to recovery | 00:02 |
| tvanover | unop: thanks | 00:02 |
| Alpha232 | ls | 00:02 |
| onx | gabbar, just burn it to cd and try it out. it will boot without making any changes to your system yet | 00:02 |
| unop | timo, did the command give you any errors? | 00:02 |
| tulimaq | Syslq: its still needed if u want to play games under windblows and have compiz working under linux... | 00:02 |
| timo | im root now http://pastebin.com/m2857de8a | 00:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PHAZE the apt-get debs are in /var/cache/apt/archives but the installed files are all over | 00:03 |
| timo | unop: no errors just no result | 00:03 |
| airtonix | PHAZE, having all your logs in one section of the harddrives lends it self to better hardrive peformance...wouldnt you agree? | 00:03 |
| PHAZE | oh really there isn't just one directory | 00:03 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: so let see if I undertood pop the live cd and after when it opens my files will be there... | 00:03 |
| gabbar | onx so u mean i can go to website and download ubuntu and burn it then just insert the cd and ubuntu will start?> | 00:03 |
| timo | its ok i do it by hand | 00:03 |
| gabbar | Jack_Sparrow oh i didnt know it ! | 00:04 |
| PHAZE | true antonix | 00:04 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: sorry to ask too many silly question as you see I'm not good on that. | 00:04 |
| onx | gabbar, yes | 00:04 |
| unop | timo, try this command first. set +H | 00:04 |
| timo | sudo nautilus and delete the folders | 00:04 |
| unop | timo, then that one again | 00:04 |
| timo | wile im root | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Iris it may take more work but that is where you start | 00:04 |
| unop | timo, don't use sudo with graphical applications.. use gksudo for that | 00:04 |
| unop | timo, i.e. gksudo nautilus | 00:04 |
| timo | ok | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | timo gksudo nautilus.. never sudo nautilus | 00:04 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: the main problem is how can I do the job... :( | 00:04 |
| gabbar | onx where would i get the drivers for ethernet card grpahic drivers sound card drivers etc., | 00:04 |
| PHAZE | i love ubuntu but the file structure is confusing to me | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Iris one step at a time | 00:05 |
| Syslq | tulimaq I like windows just fine I just dislike their insane licensing policys etc... But ubuntu seems to be very fine alternative :) | 00:05 |
| Syslq | PHAZE file structure is as in every other linux I think | 00:05 |
| PHAZE | but windows is so dummy down to anyone can use it | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gabbar if supported you wont need to get them yourself | 00:05 |
| Syslq | Filesystem hirarchy standard I mean | 00:05 |
| Syslq | FHS | 00:05 |
| timo | thank you done! | 00:06 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: right let see what I can do... | 00:06 |
| Dormie | how do I connect to a wifi? my card is detecting my router, i'm in KDE | 00:06 |
| Iris | Jack_Sparrow: but thanks anyway... | 00:06 |
| airtonix | PHAZE, no reason windows is so simplified is to reduce the amount of help desk requirements and make it easier to employ 'anyone' in the help desk role | 00:06 |
| Syslq | PHAZE you can read a nifty pdf on it, just google, and I think | 00:06 |
| gabbar | Jack_Sparrow ok. | 00:06 |
| PHAZE | on what | 00:06 |
| PHAZE | airtonix* | 00:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !files | 00:07 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 00:07 |
| ^Phantom^ | Update Manager says "You can install 236 updates" | 00:07 |
| Dormie | anyone? | 00:07 |
| PHAZE | i bet you get dummy questions like that everyday lol | 00:07 |
| keen101 | Dormie, I havent tried kubuntu in awihle, so i woulden't know. | 00:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | PHAZE i've seen dumber people | 00:08 |
| PHAZE | true | 00:08 |
| keen101 | Is the network manager in kde like in the gnome version? | 00:08 |
| Dormie | can I do so in terminal, keen101? | 00:08 |
| Dormie | no | 00:08 |
| gabbar | Jack_Sparrow Do i need to learn some commands to operate ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| Syslq | Airtonix, PHAZE sorry but simplified is positive in my book. But hey, about anyone doing it, well that's simply bullshit. Managing any enviroment requires certain amount of knowledge and I mean general computing knowledge | 00:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gabbar no | 00:09 |
| ^Phantom^ | most people that come here have at least some idea of what they're doing | 00:09 |
| PHAZE | i been trying to learn linux ubuntu for a while on and off through VMware workstation 6 its a really easy way to test it out i have also install it on my system when i had my other hard drive working lol | 00:09 |
| gabbar | Jack_Sparrow ok | 00:09 |
| lns40 | wtf wtf wtf | 00:09 |
| zelrikriando | lns40, watch your language | 00:10 |

| DigitalKiwi | thanks that made my day | 00:10 |
| BBLake | what is the difference between ubuntu, kubuntu, and edubuntu? | 00:10 |
| Syslq | People btw any directions on proper way to install codecs (video, audio) un linux these days? | 00:10 |
| DARKGuy | !wtf | 00:10 |
| anom01y | how can I extract a small clip of audio from a .avi file ? | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:10 |
| DARKGuy | x) | 00:11 |
| gabbar | Syslq hey hi and is linux = ubuntu ? | 00:11 |
| Syslq | BBLake Ubuntu uses gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE desktop enviroments. | 00:11 |
| Syslq | gabbar linux is kernel not os | 00:11 |
| gabbar | OK | 00:11 |
| BBLake | and edubuntu? same thing kde? | 00:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | I have ubuntu 7.10 | 00:11 |
| PHAZE | ok whats the difference in KDE and gnome | 00:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | Should I upgrade? | 00:11 |
| BBLake | So the ONLY difference is desktop environment? | 00:11 |
| PHAZE | can't you install KDE on ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| mneptok | BBLake: Edubuntu uses GNOME but bundles a lot of the KDE educational software | 00:12 |
| Tulimaq | PHAZE: yes u can | 00:12 |
| mneptok | PHAZE: yes, but then why not just install Kubuntu? | 00:12 |
| PHAZE | true | 00:12 |
| ^Phantom^ | Or rather *should* i upgrade? | 00:12 |
| gabbar | So what should i install? ubuntu or kubuntu or edbuntu??? iam totally new to his | 00:12 |
| PHAZE | could you switch back and forth? | 00:12 |
| mneptok | PHAZE: yes | 00:12 |
| Syslq | PHAZE KDE is desktop enviroment that has is based on qt or omething and it's applications need it's librarys, GNOME is based on GTK, if you want to install GNOME app on kde you allso need to install a shitload of librarys that that app depends on | 00:13 |
| PHAZE | kool how so? | 00:13 |
| BBLake | i think i have my BUNTU's mixed up | 00:13 |
| PHAZE | oh so its not easy i can see | 00:13 |
| mneptok | Syslq: "a lot" is preferabel int his channel | 00:13 |
| mneptok | *preferable | 00:13 |
| keen101 | Phantom, you should at least upgrade to 8.04 since it is a LTS release. It will be supported until the next one. | 00:13 |
| PHAZE | unless you know linux | 00:13 |
| BBLake | i downloaded a kde theme i think, and it messed with my gnome enviroment, taking forever to load | 00:13 |
| Scunizi | gabbar: install ubuntu and after that you can install kubuntu and xubuntu and then on the username screen when booting choose which one you want to use that day. | 00:13 |
| Dormie | keen101, if I connect to my router in gnome will it carry over to kde? | 00:13 |
| Syslq | PHAZE you can consider them as framework if you like | 00:13 |
| PHAZE | what did they change in 8.04 ? | 00:14 |
| Syslq | But that could be argued I guess | 00:14 |
| ^Phantom^ | 8.04 LTS the one I want? | 00:14 |
| PHAZE | yea | 00:14 |
| keen101 | Dormie, possibly. but, i really don't know. | 00:14 |
| damijit | I want to replace 2 files, but I am getting "permission denied". How do I override this? | 00:14 |
| gabbar | thanks bye | 00:14 |
| PHAZE | how do you do that syslq? | 00:14 |
| Syslq | PHAZE what? | 00:14 |
| Scunizi | damien_: use "sudo" when issuing the command | 00:14 |
| Syslq | I'm watching tv beside chatting :) | 00:15 |
| BBLake | scunizi, from what your saying, maybe the theme isn't my problem. Whatever happened destroyed my ability to boot up..takes forever | 00:15 |
| PHAZE | sys: how do you consider them as a framework | 00:15 |
| damijit | I am in the GUI, how do I sudo? Or do I need to use the command line? | 00:15 |
| keen101 | dormie, put this in terminal: network-admin | 00:15 |
| Scunizi | BBLake: once loaded change the theme back to the original and see what happens. | 00:15 |
| ^Phantom^ | Is it true what I hear, that linux is better for editing video files than windows? | 00:16 |
| BBLake | change out of the themes, then reboot? good idea...going to try that | 00:16 |
| BBLake | do i need to delete, or just not select as an option? | 00:16 |
| Tulimaq | damijit: what program u want to run ? | 00:16 |
| Scunizi | damijit: what files are you trying to replace and where are they located? | 00:16 |
| unr3a1_ | hey all | 00:16 |
| Syslq | PHAZE well it's deskop enviroment and as any desktop enviroment has a lot of librarys available to you wich you can use to build your own apps. And a whole lot of librarys designed to make your coding productive in some direction would be definition of framework, but as said that's arguable, framework is JAVA or .net and they both implement virtual machine but that's out of the topic | 00:17 |
| unr3a1_ | I know this is a question for firefox, but no one in there seems to know the answer to my question, so I figure I would try here | 00:17 |
| Scunizi | BBLake: just make the change and apply.. that should do it.. or CTRL+ALT+Backspace which restarts the gui but doesn't really reboot the machine. | 00:17 |
| BBLake | yep,....be back in 10 (or 2 minutes if this works) :) Crossing fingers. | 00:17 |
| unr3a1_ | I am running firefox 3. I have the smart bookmarks plugin installed to allow bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar to only display the webpage icons | 00:17 |
| Tulimaq | Scunizi: restarts X server u mean | 00:17 |
| unr3a1_ | this toolbar is full | 00:18 |
| damijit | Tulimaq and Scunizi: I downloaded the game "Enemy Territory" and installed into /usr/local/games. I downloaded the patch, and apparently what I'm supposed to do is replace the .x86 files with the patched ones. It is when doing this that I am getting permission denied. | 00:18 |
| Scunizi | Tulimaq: right.. but for a newbee it looks like a gui reboot | 00:18 |
| PHAZE | well is this task a big one to do if i wanted to mess with it? | 00:18 |
| Syslq | Btw, I was asking for real what would be the best way to install codecs on ubuntu, (something like codecs pack on windows), is there entire package that covers it all or something? | 00:18 |
| unr3a1_ | is there a way for me to expand that toolbar to a second bar? | 00:18 |
| Scunizi | damijit: and you're trying to use the file manager to drag and drop? | 00:18 |
| ^Phantom^ | Is 8.04 LTS the version I will want to upgrade to? | 00:18 |
| damijit | yes | 00:18 |
| oklinux | hey Jack_Sparrow I got ubuntu install | 00:19 |
| keen101 | damijit, you may need to use the chown command. | 00:19 |
| === _LordC is now known as LordC | ||
| * nullcool_ say hello! :S ......WTF i had never enter this chanel...:P | 00:19 | |
| Scunizi | damijit: then you need to start the file manager as "root".. sudo nautilus .. copy your files then close the file manager because it too dangerous to leave open.. | 00:19 |
| bobertdos | PHAZE: I don't mean to patronize you, but you are aware that the bookmarks expand into a dropdown meu at the end, right? You could also reorganize the bar to bring the ones you use most often back to the front....... | 00:20 |
| nateeeee | *sigh* ok, i've got no internet in a FRESH install of ubuntu. i'm not at all familiar with linux. i've suplied dns servers, tried static and automatic ip's... i don't understand why i would have no net :( pls help | 00:20 |
| === Kabaka[A] is now known as Kabaka | ||
| Tulimaq | damijit: Alt + F2 and type "gksu nautilus" to run file manager as root | 00:20 |
| Syslq | nateeee have you tried ifup eth0? | 00:20 |
| Syslq | or eth1 | 00:20 |
| joshuajtl | hey folks is there anything I can do to make windows easier to resize in gnome? | 00:20 |
| Syslq | :) | 00:20 |
| === hipertracker_ is now known as hipertracker | ||
| ^Phantom^ | Is 8.04 LTS fully compatible with VirtualBox? | 00:20 |
| darren__ | Hi could some one please help or explain why. i have just done two fresh installs of ubuntu yet again, one on my desktop and one on my laptop. on the desktop my wifi works stright away with out doing any thing, but on the laptop it does not even show up, is that normall, same install from same cd | 00:20 |
| Scunizi | damijit: what Tulimaq said.. I forgot about gksu or gksudo before nautilus | 00:21 |
| Goosemoose | so i installed ubuntu over the network, add to late_command to join an AD domain, the computer shows up in AD and domainjoin-cli query shows it's on the domain. But I can't login as a domain user. Any suggestions? | 00:21 |
| PHAZE | yeah the bar with the applications , places and systems | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darren__ Supported hardware? | 00:21 |
| keen101 | damijitjoshuajtl, do a defragment | 00:21 |
| Qwexer | anyone know of a python-gasp channel that I could get some answers from? | 00:21 |
| Syslq | darren__ yeah but not same wifi cards :) | 00:21 |
| PHAZE | which would be called a taskbar in windows | 00:21 |
| keen101 | joshuajtl, do a defragment on you win drive before resizing. | 00:21 |
| nullcool_ | hey AMAROK run slowly since i install emesene......any opinion???....(happy independence day....from mexico) :D | 00:21 |
| Syslq | darren_ check your wifi card in linux lspci|more | 00:21 |
| darren__ | Jack_Sparrow, is there any thing i can do about it | 00:21 |
| Syslq | And try finding it | 00:22 |
| nateeeee | i don't understand any of that stuff. though iu did try, "/sbin/ifconfig -a" which made very little sense to me as it was merly a readout of what was connected where and the current status'. | 00:22 |
| joshuajtl | keen101: talking about windows, not Windows | 00:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joshuajtl I agree with keen101 | 00:22 |
| joshuajtl | resizing windows not MS Windows | 00:22 |
| damijit | It seems to have worked. Thanks for your help! | 00:22 |
| Scunizi | damijit: np | 00:22 |
| Syslq | nateeeee paste it to me on private | 00:22 |
| Syslq | output of ifconfig -a | 00:22 |
| bobertdos | PHAZE: I'm sorry, I directed to the wrong person. I hate it when I do that :p | 00:22 |
| keen101 | joshuajtl, oh i see. heh lol | 00:22 |
| darren__ | Jack_Sparrow, would a new wifi make any dif or is it the hardware in the lapto | 00:22 |
| joshuajtl | Jack_Sparrow: talking about windows, not Windows, resizing windows in gnome... not Windows MS | 00:22 |

| OsamaK | In Ubuntu, Is there something like "tasks manger" then I can close some unrespondable software? Firefox tells me " you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !kill | 00:24 |

| myles7897 | can someone help me get my printer working. I have it installed and it used to work, but now it stops. | 00:25 |
| Danskmand | CAn you actually read what I am typing ? | 00:25 |
| BBLake | OK, obviously not the issue. still took forever. | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Danskmand yes | 00:25 |
| myles7897 | It just says printer not connected | 00:25 |
| OsamaK | Jack_Sparrow: this is to me? | 00:25 |
| BBLake | I have disabled all elements of the ubuntu studio theme however. | 00:25 |
| Tulimaq | darren__: pastebin your "lspci" and "iwconfig -a" output | 00:25 |
| ^Phantom^ | is 8.04 LTS fully compatible with VirtualBox? | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OsamaK yes, kill a process | 00:25 |
| BBLake | The only other hting major i messed with was the PUlse Audio settings...Is that a boot killer? | 00:25 |
| OsamaK | Jack_Sparrow: How to know its IDs? | 00:25 |
| Tulimaq | ^Phantom^: yes | 00:25 |
| Scunizi | OsamaK: other than Jack_Sparrow 's suggestion you could also right mouse click on the top bar and choose "add to panel" then choose "System Monitor".. that will give you access to processes and let you kill them. | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OsamaK ps | 00:25 |
| Danskmand | Oh, ok....So, no answers...I guess I have to find out "somehow"..... | 00:25 |

| Persica | Anyone here know much about why automount is failing with an NFS root even when the root of the automount tree exists? | 00:29 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, ok i pasted it here is this the right link http://pastebin.com/m769bcd1d | 00:29 |
| keenscreen | upon starting up ubuntu i saw: "there is an error starting the gnome settings daemon" error message: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." .... how to fix? | 00:29 |
| bobertdos | KiLl3rCaM: Actually, I think that might be normal because I get that too and all my sound works. What are your settings in System->Preferences->Sound? | 00:29 |
| drazak | Persica: is your syntax right? | 00:30 |
| KiLl3rCaM | its all oss | 00:30 |
| bobertdos | KiLl3rCaM: So do Pulse and Alsa not work for you at all? | 00:31 |
| Persica | It's failing on creating the directory for the mount within the autofs. | 00:31 |
| KiLl3rCaM | no | 00:31 |
| Persica | drazak: "mount(nfs): mkdir_path /net/sww failed: No such file or directory" | 00:31 |
| BBLake | What is the best way to diagnosis problems with boot-up. Something changed with my boot-ups now taking forever, not the KDE them as we had thought | 00:31 |
| drazak | Persica: it looks like your local mount path is wrong | 00:31 |
| Persica | drazak: seems odd. It can create the original /net, but then it won't create the subdirectories to mount on. | 00:31 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, like i say two laptops both with built in wifi the usb wifi works on one laptop but not mine also works on desktop but not my laptop, tryed a diffrent driver from aircrack can connet to internet but it does not show signal strength, is it the hardware in my laptop that is bad | 00:31 |

| tom_ | Nutzebahn: if you dont know how to install that i would recomend against it, but if you insist on continuing anyway, then you need to ./configure it then make it then sudo make install it | 00:35 |

| ubottu | artti: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 00:37 |
| artti | tom_, i'vr done that. But i just can't get cube work. | 00:37 |
| KiLl3rCaM | thanks | 00:37 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, dont think i need to past it because it just says Interface doesn't support scanning. no scan results | 00:37 |
| tom_ | artti: if compiz is running you need 4 horizontal destops and the cube plugin running and that should give you a cube | 00:37 |
| HaZ | How do you usually uninstall programs compiled from source ? | 00:37 |
| leachim6 | simple-ccsm is almost useless | 00:37 |
| r00t_ | how can i clear the remote host identification warning? | 00:37 |

| darren__ | Tulimaq, the built in wireless works no probs just the external usb wifi, | 00:38 |
| HaZ | ok | 00:38 |
| leachim6 | HaZ, if your lucky, the author of the program was smart and put a deinstall action in the make file | 00:38 |
| ^Phantom^ | about 2 hours 35 minutes remaining lol | 00:38 |
| leachim6 | HaZ, do you still have the source you used to compile it ? | 00:38 |
| Scunizi | artti: have you gone to System/Preferances/Appearance/Visual Effects and switched from None or Normal to one of the other choices? | 00:38 |
| HaZ | hmm think so | 00:38 |
| artti | Scunizi, i have expert. | 00:38 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, http://pastebin.com/m5095fa3a | 00:39 |

| PHAZE | when i download tar.gz and it was on the desktop i click on it show a menu to select to open it what app do you need to open that? | 00:40 |
| tom_ | artti: if compiz is running you want a destop with a virtual horizontal size but only 1 desktop | 00:40 |
| Scunizi | artti: then under System/Preferances/Advanced Desktop Settings/General/Desktop Size the 3 lines should read (from top to bottom) 4 1 1 | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse | 00:40 |
| Tulimaq | darren__: u should try ndiswrapper then | 00:40 |
| HaZ | PHAZE you unpack it using the console | 00:40 |
| PHAZE | i never understood download files from the internet and running them | 00:40 |
| PHAZE | console as you mean? | 00:40 |
| meoblast001 | how do you scan a file from a terminal? | 00:40 |
| PHAZE | terminal | 00:41 |
| HaZ | terminal * | 00:41 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, I tryed ndiswrapper but it will only connect to a open AP but not wep | 00:41 |
| HaZ | tar xzvf xxx.tar.gz | 00:41 |
| PHAZE | do you use sudo apt - get | 00:41 |
| leachim6 | how can I have namless icons on the desktop in gnome | 00:41 |
| leachim6 | the icon gets named .desktop if I leave it blank or use a space | 00:41 |
| PHAZE | that package d/ler | 00:41 |
| HaZ | then ./confgure - make - make install | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darren__ That is a limitation of marginally supported hardware | 00:41 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, makes no sence how can it work on one lap top but not the other if its the same usb wifi | 00:42 |
| artti | Scunizi, already have that, | 00:42 |
| PHAZE | what about the other file formats that are on the net that arn't in the add and remove and the sym loader one | 00:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darren__ Sometimes the same card has a different chipset | 00:42 |
| Scunizi | artti: check out the post just below my last one by Jack_Sparrow | 00:42 |
| tom_ | same usb wifi doenst always have the same chip or usb chip | 00:42 |
| HaZ | .rpm ? | 00:43 |
| HaZ | .deb | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darren__ broadcom bcm43xx has at least 4 chipsets | 00:43 |
| sielnt_ | anyone have media player recommendations for a fluxbox user? it seems rhythmbox has some issues starting up (takes about 20 seconds) | 00:43 |
| HaZ | dpkg for .deb i think | 00:43 |
| darren__ | Jack_Sparrow, but its the same usb wifi card, im just unplgging it from one laptop onto the other | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rpm | 00:43 |
| 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) | 00:43 |
| PHAZE | yeah i have red how to install tho on the ubuntu doc site and still didn't quite get it | 00:43 |
| arooni | when i installed ndiswrapper it worked; but when i restart; it doesnt seem to auto load. in addition, i cant see the friendly wireless network ui on top right (upon clicking network).... and i'm left to manual config... how do i fix these two things? | 00:43 |

| arooni | sielnt_, seeing other networks | 00:44 |
| sielnt_ | arooni, I think its an issue with ndiswrapper, I usually just go in through the system/administration menu | 00:44 |
| tom_ | !compile | Nutzebahn | 00:44 |

| Tulimaq | darren__: strange | 00:45 |
| darren__ | Jack_Sparrow, i have no idear they both have built in wireless, thats not the problem the built in wireless works fine on both, its just the usb wifi works on one but not the other | 00:45 |
| PHAZE | yes HAz those other file formats the ones you listed you have instal them in the terminal | 00:45 |
| HaZ | yeh | 00:45 |
| leachim6 | how can I have namless desktop icons in gnome | 00:45 |
| HaZ | what do you want to know | 00:45 |
| mneptok | darren__: "idea" has no "r" :) | 00:45 |
| artti | Jack_Sparrow, Scunizi: thanks, didn't know how to move it. | 00:45 |
| Scunizi | mneptok: it does in Mississippi :) | 00:46 |
| Nutzebahn | tom_: That did not help. | 00:46 |
| Tulimaq | darren__: and how u get it working on another pc ? | 00:46 |
| darren__ | also i downloaded a driver from aircrack which i was able to connect to internet but did not show signal strength then downloaed ndiswrapper showed signal strenght but could not connect to wep | 00:46 |

| Scunizi | leachim6: if nobody her knows the answer you might try #linux | 00:48 |
| leachim6 | tried it | 00:48 |
| leachim6 | and #gnome | 00:48 |
| sielnt_ | darren__ did you load the appropriate drivers for the laptop card? | 00:48 |
| Scunizi | leachim6: gotta be somewhere in gconfig editor.. but I could tell you where. | 00:48 |
| darren__ | sielnt_, have tryed many drivers | 00:48 |
| leachim6 | could or couldn't ? | 00:48 |
| sielnt_ | darren__ what laptop and network card is it? | 00:48 |
| Scunizi | leachim6: could be.. no guarantees though.. just a logical place to check | 00:49 |
| Tulimaq | darren__: maybe u did something wrong then ? because i use broadcom wifi via ndiswrapper and WPA2 works just fine | 00:49 |
| arooni | what does sudo apt-get upgrade dO/ | 00:49 |

| PHAZE | Haz hold up one sec | 00:49 |

| darren__ | Tulimaq, ok i will try ndiswrapper again just incase if i can find the driver again more searching | 00:50 |
| Scunizi | arooni: it will upgrade and programs/packages that have an update.. however you should always sudo apt-get update before upgrade or dist-upgrade to get the most recent list of packages. | 00:50 |
| sielnt_ | darren__, have you tried using any native linux drivers for the laptop before attempting ndiswrapper? | 00:50 |
| Scunizi | and = any | 00:50 |
| leachim6 | how can I get an nbsp character on linux ? | 00:50 |

| arooni | if i have a realtek 8185 chipset wireless card (not currently supported in ubuntu hardy) and i'm using ndiswrapper... will next version of ubuntu cover this card? and is ndiswrapper ok enough to use in the meantime? or should i return the card? | 00:52 |
| dooglus | clouder`grr: only really noticed it today for the first time (a stickam.com redesign, I guess). luckily I had the URLs that the drop-down menus go to in my Fx history | 00:52 |
| leachim6 | I can do it on windows! | 00:52 |
| dooglus | clouder`grr: but generally, no, I don't know of a good solution | 00:52 |
| luis__ | so is there some one that can guide me to fix this please?? | 00:52 |
| tom_ | arooni: the outlook is not good, i havent heard of any major changes in wireless in the new version | 00:52 |
| meoblast001 | how do i scan from a remote scanner? | 00:53 |
| dtolj | is there a GUI or semi-gui was to manage services in ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| Tulimaq | darren__: make sure u blacklist native wifi driver | 00:53 |
| sielnt_ | leachim6: Then go do it on Windows. | 00:53 |
| Scunizi | dtolj: how do you mean.. processes? shutting them down? | 00:53 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, thats not a problem it a new install have not downloaded any drivers yet | 00:53 |
| leachim6 | I didn't mean it like that... | 00:53 |
| PHAZE | seriously did anyone having problems with the new ubuntu version freezing on the load screen in VMware? | 00:54 |
| arooni | tom_, should i return the wireless card to frys and get another one? | 00:54 |
| dtolj | Scunizi: actually using xubuntu, want to close some processes on startup | 00:54 |
| luis__ | any one that can helpe me please? | 00:54 |
| leachim6 | and it's not LINUX that can't do it, it's gnome that can't do it | 00:54 |
| dtolj | Scunizi: rcconf sucks | 00:54 |
| leachim6 | and it's not ubuntu's fault | 00:54 |

| myles7897 | Ubuntu keeps telling me I need to reinstall a package. How do I tell it where it is? | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | dtolj: sorry can't help you there. | 00:54 |
| sielnt_ | leachim6: I use fluxbox to rid myself of all the problems associated with the mainstream desktops | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | myles7897: what package? | 00:55 |
| luis__ | i just install ubuntu on a vaio laptop and just finished but it won't connect to internet like my desktop how can i fix this please help?? | 00:55 |
| myles7897 | its a deb package for my printer | 00:55 |
| sielnt_ | leachim6: I'm a big fan of the K.I.S.S. principle | 00:55 |
| darren__ | luis i have the same problem with my sony laptop | 00:55 |
| dtolj | Scunizi: how is it done generally on the command line? | 00:55 |
| leachim6 | sielnt_, I usually use openbox, but gnome works nicely with all of my laptops peripherals like the sound rocker and brightness control | 00:55 |
| leachim6 | I do have a sweet openbox setup | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | myles7897: double click the .deb and it'll reinstall. | 00:55 |
| luis__ | God so there is no way to fix it?? | 00:55 |
| leachim6 | I've been using gnome lately though | 00:55 |
| erUSUL | luis__: tell us more info. wired connection wifi? modem? router? what have you tried? | 00:56 |
| Tulimaq | darren__: i understand but there is a some kinda native kernel module installed already | 00:56 |
| myles7897 | then it says that the package is corrupt, I have already tried re-downloading a fresh one. | 00:56 |
| ^Phantom^ | i have about 1 hours 30 minutes remaining for this update :D | 00:56 |
| sielnt_ | leachim6: There are ways to achieve those things with other environments... if you have the time | 00:56 |
| tom_ | where do i go to talk about intrepid | 00:56 |
| leachim6 | sielnt_, I'm aware of all of that, I just feel like using gnome right now | 00:56 |
| Starnestommy | tom_: maybe #ubuntu+1 | 00:56 |
| meoblast001 | tom_: i think it's #ubuntu+1 | 00:56 |
| dtolj | Why dosn't Rcconf read all processes in /etc/init.d? | 00:56 |
| sielnt_ | oh yea, intrepid ibex | 00:56 |
| leachim6 | I know I can use idesk for icons and still use gnome-panel | 00:56 |
| Scunizi | dtolj: beyond my abilities.. sorry.. the only thing I can relate it to is apache2 which is done by "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 00:56 |
| PHAZE | ok i guess not lol | 00:56 |
| leachim6 | and gnome-settings-daemon to make it look like gnome | 00:56 |
| meoblast001 | anyone know how to do remote scans? | 00:56 |
| Scunizi | dtolj: might be similar.. | 00:56 |
| leachim6 | but I don't wanna! | 00:57 |
| luis__ | ook my desktop is conected to cybercable.net.mx i got to connectios so on my desktop i use usb and on the laptop ethernet cable | 00:57 |

| leachim6 | what happened to "everything is a file" | 00:58 |
| darren__ | Tulimaq, i have the linux driver on a cd that comes with the wifi i but i have to compile it and that i have no idear what so ever | 00:58 |

| luis__ | is for two but still if i use only laptop won't reconize it or whatever the word might be | 00:59 |
| leachim6 | sielnt_, I did a few gentoo installs, it's not worth it... | 00:59 |
| leachim6 | binary packages all the way | 00:59 |
| viaken | sielnt_: I like Arch. It adheres pretty well to K.I.S.S. | 01:00 |

| Tulimaq | darren__: u can check maybe they have some update for it | 01:00 |
| sielnt_ | leachim6: I'll always have debian to fall back on. I try out ubuntu every now and then, but it feels to bloated for my taste | 01:00 |
| leachim6 | so nobody knows how to create icons with no name ? | 01:00 |
| leachim6 | sielnt_, tried ubuntu server ? | 01:00 |
| mneptok | distro preferences are best taken to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:00 |

| sielnt_ | leachim6: I've always used etch for my server needs... I'll give the server distro a go for desktop | 01:01 |

| dmsuperman | Basically, I've got evolution-webcal synced with my google calendar, and it reads it fine (I can click my gnome-applet clock and it shows my appointments) but I want it to give me some sort of alarm for those appointments | 01:36 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, oh sorry i thought you were having an audio problem | 01:36 |
| JackCSG | tehboriz, Wish I could help, I'm not familer with legacy drivers but you may be required to use a floppy then. | 01:36 |
| tehboriz | no lol | 01:36 |
| Hellow | Hey guys, im having trouble isolating the cause of my hard drive filling up slap full, a du /* leads me to the .wine directory in /home, but it has always been the size it is. I cant find anywhere else it could be going. Help? Oh, and when i free up space, it gets taken up just as fast, so that links to something running, but i dont see anything. Oh, and i just uninstalled the kubuntu-kde4-desktop package | 01:36 |
| kevinO | still cant get your cd to mount? | 01:36 |
| bobertdos | Caru: Would the icons happen to be in a tar.gz? | 01:36 |

| asmo[B] | ty Jack_Sparrow | 01:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 01:37 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, do you have hghspeed internet? | 01:37 |
| bobertdos | Caru: One way you're sometimes able to do it is to copy the directory to .icons in your home directory, then check to see if they appear in metacity. | 01:38 |
| tehboriz | kevinO: yes i do... 10mbit | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mustafa_Kaya # 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 "--" | 01:38 |
| kevinO | the you should try and download the alternate cd version | 01:38 |
| Caru | ok thanks ill try that | 01:38 |
| tehboriz | bandwidth isn't a problem i have like 70gb for the rest of the month | 01:38 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, ^^ | 01:38 |
| tehboriz | lol kevinO | 01:38 |
| benjick | Not unlimited bandwidth?! :| | 01:38 |
| tehboriz | what's this alternate cd version | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !alternate | 01:39 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 01:39 |
| tehboriz | yeah rogers (the only high speed isp) locks us down a lot | 01:39 |

| physically_fit | newbie question: i see 2 desktops in my task bar, why would i need another desktop? | 01:41 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, its still graphical | 01:41 |
| Caru | all of the other folders in ther have an index.theme file | 01:41 |
| benjick | physically_fit: Why would you stuff all the things on one when you can use the power of two? Or four? | 01:41 |
| vbman11 | ok so i installed sysv-rc-conf then started removing checks from check boxes, how do I change it all back to normalafter closing the program? | 01:41 |
| tehboriz | oh kevinO cool | 01:41 |

| tehboriz | Jack_Sparrow: I'm not looking for the torrent | 01:42 |
| kevinO | not 8.10 | 01:42 |
| physically_fit | benjick, what do you mean with the power? i think that i would be confused with so many desktops | 01:42 |
| dmsuperman | Is there a way to get alerts to pop up or sound with evolution-webcal? | 01:43 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso | 01:43 |

| tehboriz | i want the alternate server download | 01:43 |
| bobertdos | physically_fit: Well, if you came up with a bit of a system, like using one for productivity, another for chat, maybe another for surfing, that would be good organization. It's all about multitasking, man :) | 01:44 |

| J-n | !jp | 01:44 |
| ubottu | 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 01:44 |
| tehboriz | heh my current server is fast... it's just buggy | 01:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | J-n he has seen that and ignored it repeatedly | 01:44 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, you asked me is it server, i assume you were asking me if the download link i gave you was a server | 01:45 |
| physically_fit | ok, thanks bobertdos | 01:45 |
| asmo[B] | would my ipod show up in gparted? | 01:45 |

| tehboriz | yes kevinO is it? | 01:45 |
| WelshDragon | Is there such a thing as an alternate server cd? I though it was Desktop, Server, Alternate? | 01:45 |
| kevinO | the i can only assume. it is a mirror for ubuntu | 01:45 |
| tehboriz | kevinO: is the link you gave me the server package? :p | 01:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WelshDragon correct, desktop, alt and server and minimal | 01:45 |
| tehboriz | i have a feeling i won't nbe getting the server package | 01:45 |
| kevinO | a .iso yes | 01:45 |
| kevinO | oh | 01:46 |
| kevinO | you want just server? | 01:46 |

| Infinite88 | what room could I join to learn information regarding website security and access control? | 01:46 |

| Infinito- | hm, I see | 01:47 |
| tehboriz | is there an alternate server edition of ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | no | 01:47 |

| kevinO | if you can boot that you can just dl all your packages | 01:48 |
| tehboriz | arg i can't install packages from my server the wireless connection isn't great at all | 01:48 |
| tehboriz | how bout just a different distro of linux | 01:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptoncd | 01:48 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 01:48 |
| tehboriz | big words hurt me | 01:49 |
| kevinO | lol | 01:49 |
| iOpera | !aptitude | 01:49 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 01:49 |
| iOpera | !mencoder | 01:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mencoder | 01:50 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, if you install the minimal cd you can just dl the server package | 01:50 |
| iOpera | .. | 01:50 |
| tehboriz | ah | 01:50 |
| tehboriz | i'm gonna need some links, the way these files are organized make me dizzy | 01:50 |

| tehboriz | well, i need apache, vnc, php support, and ftp | 01:51 |
| tehboriz | that's all i need | 01:51 |
| kevinO | is there a server package that tehboriz can install like the ubuntu-desktop?? | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | compilerwriter no | 01:51 |

| Jack_Sparrow | kevinO lamp? | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !lamp | 01:52 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 01:52 |

| asmo[B] | viaken: mine did not require any additional packages, but I do appear to already have the libquicktime1 | 02:06 |
| tehboriz | why is it called x86 not 32bit | 02:06 |
| viaken | tradition, tehboriz | 02:07 |
| daklan | tehboriz: are you familiar with the intel family of microprocessors? you'll notice most of them had the -86 suffix. 386, 486, 586 ... so on | 02:07 |
| asmo[B] | because the guy that made it was dyslexic | 02:07 |
| WelshDragon | Didn't x86 used to refer to the Intel cpu's? | 02:07 |
| WelshDragon | Oh yes it did ^^ | 02:07 |
| remu | hey everyone! I've been using ubuntu for a while now.....coming on to 8 months. I think I am fairly comfortable with GNU/Linux now and think that I might like to try out kubuntu. But I had a few questions, is there anything in general that I need to be aware of? Second, should I try out kubuntu, or kubuntu with kde4? And last but not least, what is the best way of installing either one with the option to cleanly remove it later if | 02:08 |
| remu | I choose to do so? | 02:08 |
| tehboriz | daklan: but why 86 lol | 02:08 |

| tehboriz | asmo[B]: just sounds clever | 02:09 |
| bderrly_ | remu, you can probably do something like suod aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 02:09 |
| bderrly_ | sudo* | 02:09 |
| asmo[B] | tehboriz: I told you it was because the guy that named it was dyslexic... maybe I'm right ;) | 02:09 |
| tehboriz | lol | 02:09 |
| bderrly_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86 good grief | 02:10 |
| tehboriz | gonna try the minicd | 02:10 |
| kevinO | tehboriz, The generic term x86 refers to the most commercially successful instruction set architecture[1] in the history of personal computing. It derived from the model numbers, ending in "86", of the first few processor generations backward compatible with the original Intel 8086. | 02:10 |
| WelshDragon | viaken, Do you have universe repo enabled? | 02:10 |
| tehboriz | ah | 02:10 |
| kevinO | pulled from the x86 wiki* | 02:10 |
| tehboriz | kevinO: wins again | 02:10 |
| Thanatos | Anyone familiar with getting spim or xspim to run in Hardy? It seems to be broken | 02:10 |
| daklan | asmo[B]: that kinda ruins your supposition that you were right :) | 02:11 |
| bobertdos | tehboriz: This is getting slightly offtopic, but as you can see, there's a long history behind this. So, you'd be better off doing your own research if you're curious. | 02:11 |
| kevinO | lolz | 02:11 |
| asmo[B] | Thanatos: Try waiting a little longer, someone will get to you if they know the answer | 02:11 |
| asmo[B] | daklan: depends on if enough people believe me we could get it changed on wikipedia | 02:11 |
| viaken | WelshDragon: Yep | 02:11 |
| daklan | asmo[B]: true :) | 02:11 |

| === nwoodhouse is now known as Mr_Pringle | ||
| bobertdos | phantomcircuit: Can you think of anything you might be doing on your end that could be corrupting them? Because, that's usually what bad checksums indicate....... | 02:13 |
| arooni | tom_, if i have a ecs mobo that has the cpu freq set to 266Mhz (its a core 2 duo that should be set to 1066Mhz)... and it seems like i cant change cpu freq setting... should i :: reset cmos? | 02:14 |
| arooni | if i have a ecs mobo that has the cpu freq set to 266Mhz (its a core 2 duo that should be set to 1066Mhz)... and it seems like i cant change cpu freq setting... should i :: reset cmos? | 02:14 |
| arooni | oops sorry for repost | 02:14 |
| phantomcircuit | bobertdos, um no im not doing anything weird | 02:14 |
| kevinO | arooni, what is your memory rated at? | 02:15 |
| bobertdos | phantomcircuit: hmm.........Where are you sending them? | 02:15 |

| === chubs__ is now known as chubs_ | ||

| phantomcircuit | they're UPnP packets being sent to a router | 02:16 |
| daklan | arooni: a cmos reset might be in order | 02:16 |
| phantomcircuit | but every other UDP packet has an incorrect checksum | 02:16 |
| kevinO | phantomcircuit, over wifi? | 02:16 |
| phantomcircuit | the packet structure seems like it's correct actually | 02:16 |
| phantomcircuit | kevinO, it's being sniffed by wireshark before it leaves the machine | 02:16 |
| daklan | arooni: besides, it's very unusual that the bus is clocked at 266mhz, given that your mobo's core2 compatible | 02:17 |
| kevinO | hmm, i do not know | 02:17 |
| viaken | Well that makes no sense whatsoever... | 02:17 |
| kevinO | yeah 266 doesnt sound right if youve got a caore 2 dou in it | 02:17 |
| phantomcircuit | yeah i know | 02:17 |
| daklan | kevinO: is that a processor i haven't heard of before? caore 2 dou? | 02:18 |
| daklan | made by entil, i suppose? :) | 02:18 |

| Razer | kevinO: how do I get to that | 02:19 |
| krunchyfrog | anyone? | 02:19 |
| WelshDragon | Razer, System > Administration > System Monitor | 02:20 |
| asmo[B] | arooni: I had read somewhere that ECS usually derates their motherboards, a lot of the time because they can't actually handle the true thruput of the processor itself... weither it is due to a heat issue I'm not sure but ECS has been doing that for years | 02:20 |
| bderrly_ | krunchyfrog, does it have to be sendmail? i've never attempted it with sendmail, i know postfix has oodles of documentation and howtos on it though | 02:20 |
| phantomcircuit | krunchyfrog, #sendmail will be far more helpful | 02:20 |
| Razer | WelshDragon: ty | 02:20 |
| kevinO | hmm, i thought it was process manager :P | 02:20 |
| asmo[B] | arooni: is it a homebuilt system or a prebuilt? | 02:20 |
| WelshDragon | silly kevinO =P | 02:21 |

| WelshDragon | Mr_Fixit, You can just have one partition mounted as /. However, if you encrypt your partitions, you will need an unencrypted /boot partition. | 02:24 |
| icedtea | daklan: oh, I know, I left the "auto" keyword in the interfaces file let me try this | 02:24 |

| phantomcircuit | well there ya go | 02:24 |
| icedtea | daklan: thanks | 02:25 |
| phantomcircuit | it was checksum offloading | 02:25 |
| Mr_Fixit | thanks WelshDragon | 02:25 |
| daklan | icedtea: ubuntu saves its config somewhere else, i think. but the debian style should work as well | 02:25 |
| EvilDaemon | damn, I just screwed something up. I've got a flash disk, and I pulled it out after the icon mounted itself on the desktop. But when I put it back in, I get two icons. Should I take it out, sudo rm the icons, and put it back in? And then how would I go about using the Linux version of "Safely Remove Hardware"? I'm going to guess it's unmount in the terminal. Anyways, sorry for the long post. | 02:25 |

| Nutzebahn | Ok. | 02:56 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: it'll see they're in the package cache, and use the already downloaded ones | 02:56 |

| powtrix | and for generic linux | 02:57 |
| Azazel-A2 | after you change to static address sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:57 |
| Nutzebahn | Ok, Flannel, it is doing something. I can't believe I waited so long, and now I am going to suffer. | 02:57 |
| Nutzebahn | After this operation, 561MB of additional disk space will be used. | 02:58 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: sffer why | 02:58 |
| Nutzebahn | because it is going to take forever. | 02:58 |
| balz | Can anybody tell me what a symlink is? | 02:58 |
| ^Phantom^ | the update seems to have stopped <_< | 02:58 |
| Nutzebahn | So it won't download 561MB now will it? | 02:58 |
| Flannel | balz: It points to another file | 02:58 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: Not if you've already downloaded them, no. | 02:58 |
| Jacobian | Hey balz: A symlink is like a shortcut in Windows | 02:59 |
| Nutzebahn | Ok. | 02:59 |
| ^Phantom^ | "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" | 02:59 |
| onx | Jacobian, that would be a hard link | 02:59 |
| balz | Flannel: how do i create one? i'm getting an error in mythweb that reads "could not create symlink to /media/500gb/vide, the local MythVideo dyrectory. Please create a symlink to your mythvideo directory at data/video | 02:59 |
| Flannel | onx: No | 02:59 |
| Jacobian | You can google the different between a hard link and a symlink | 02:59 |
| Flannel | balz: ln is how to make links, -s makes a symlink (soft link). it's ln -s source dest | 03:00 |
| Jacobian | I believe for symlinks: ln -s destination shortcut | 03:00 |
| node357 | Jacobian: no that's backwards :) | 03:00 |
| Azazel-A2 | router and static network, I would personally would set the DMZ so forward all packets to the static ip address of the machine and use firestarter to firewall | 03:00 |
| Jacobian | Ah, okay | 03:00 |
| Nutzebahn | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d38520820 | 03:00 |
| balz | Flannel: thanks. is data/video an actual directory though? that doesn't make much sense to me | 03:00 |
| node357 | wait I'm wrong I think | 03:01 |
| node357 | ugh | 03:01 |
| Jacobian | You can do: "man ln" to check the order of the arguments. I always look it up myself... easy to forget | 03:01 |
| balz | Flannel: mostly because there's no / before "data" | 03:01 |

| tom_ | is it possible to access my real /boot from a chroot | 03:03 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: What? | 03:03 |
| node357 | bobbob1016: go into A and type mv a/* b/* c/* d/* . | 03:03 |
| balz | Flannel: so my syntax should read "ln -s data/video /media/500gb" ? How do I know which is source and which is destination based on that message? | 03:03 |
| Azazel-A2 | mv -r is recursive | 03:03 |
| onx | Jacobian, ah mixed up the two | 03:03 |
| justin__ | can anyone help me setup my monitor and ati radeon hd3850 in ubuntu 8.04? | 03:03 |
| Jacobian | You could do go to the parent directory, and then run: "mv -i */*.* ." to move your files up to the parent directory. The -i should make it interactive | 03:03 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: oh, I saw it, yeah. Do you have any third party repositories enabled? | 03:03 |
| danbh_intrepid | tom_: chroot to the partition where your /boot is located | 03:03 |
| node357 | Azazel: yeah good point... | 03:03 |
| node357 | I shuld shut up , i keep making mistakes | 03:04 |
| node357 | sorry guys | 03:04 |
| bobbob1016 | node357, Is there a way to do it without needing to do a/* and so on, I have more than I'd want to manually type in | 03:04 |
| WelshDragon | Azazel-A2, Does mv have -r? How can a move NOT be recursive? | 03:04 |
| Nutzebahn | *checking SYnaptic | 03:04 |
| tom_ | danbh_intrepid: im trying to fix a hardy install but my / is not on the same partition as my /boot | 03:04 |
| node357 | check what Jacobian suggested :) | 03:04 |
| Flannel | balz: you want to link data/video to /media/500gb/vide so, ln -s /media/500gb/vide data/video | 03:04 |
| balz | Flannel: oh I see. okay... that makes much more sense. thanks | 03:05 |
| danbh_intrepid | tom_: my guess would be to still chroot into your /partion, then mount your /boot partition to /boot | 03:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | good point. I get it confussed. alias rm='mv --target-directory ~/.local/share/Trash/files' so opps lol | 03:05 |

| Flannel | Nutzebahn: right, but I mean non-official ones. | 03:10 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: modprobe loads the module | 03:10 |
| danbh_intrepid | tom_: ah, I see. I guess that makes sense, because once you chroot, it doesnt exist. Maybe you need to mount /boot before hand. So maybe.. . / gets mounted to /mnt/root and /boot gets mounted to /mnt/root/boot THEN you chroot | 03:10 |

| Jacobian | Hey guys, I'm trying to set up static IP addresses for my home network. Does anybody know if I need to uninstall the dhcp3-client, or if I need to turn of DHCP in my router? | 03:11 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: okay please wait | 03:11 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: if it says something like, Driver loaded, hardware detected then modprobe it | 03:11 |
| tom_ | danbh_intrepid: ahh makes sense will try that thx | 03:11 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: if it doesn't then you have the wrong driver | 03:11 |
| Xcerca | i have another partition on the same disk with free space... can u resize the one partion to include the free space of the one next to it | 03:12 |
| jschiff | Jack_Sparrow: do you represent a part of ubuntu development? | 03:12 |
| Azazel-A2 | jacobian. ayou can leave it running and run static/dynamic, but you can shut it down in firestarter | 03:12 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: it only said "SiS163u : driver installed" | 03:12 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: that's good | 03:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jschiff no | 03:12 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: now run.. sudo modprobe ndiswrapper | 03:12 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: but not hardware detected. | 03:12 |
| therealnanotube | Jacobian: no need to uninstall the dhcp package, just configure your network interface to have a static ip (e.g., through the gui). leave the router as is. | 03:12 |
| Jacobian | Thanks Azazel. I've already changed my /etc/network/interfaces file according to the universe instructions on the web... but I'm not able to communicate with my router, even so. | 03:12 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: what to do next? | 03:13 |
| tom_ | Xcerca: assuming your not using lvm then its trickey but you can do it from a liveCD, just backup anything important | 03:13 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: you modprobed successfully? | 03:13 |
| therealnanotube | Jacobian: did you set your comp to be in the same subnet as the router's dhcp subnet? | 03:13 |
| Jacobian | Yes, thank you | 03:13 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: it just asked for sudo password then nothing. | 03:13 |
| Xcerca | tom_ whats lvm ? | 03:14 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: k that's what usually happens, now try a sudo iwlist scan | 03:14 |
| jinette | hola | 03:14 |
| Jacobian | My router is 192.168.0.1, and my computer is 192.168.0.2, both with 255.255.255.0 masks. | 03:14 |
| Uplink | >:] | 03:14 |
| PDF_q | I need to convert realplayer files into flv files through command line, does anyone know a good tool? | 03:14 |
| jschiff | Jacobian: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.x gateway 255.255.255.0 | 03:14 |
| Azazel-A2 | try http://192.168.0.1 in firefox | 03:14 |
| jschiff | Jacobian: sudo dhclient eth0 | 03:14 |
| iFvwm | flv!! | 03:14 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: nothing | 03:14 |
| Jacobian | So I'll be okay if my router is using DHCP? I can set my static IP address within Ubuntu, and as long as that IP address is available, then I can request it from the router? | 03:15 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: then you need to find a different driver | 03:15 |
| therealnanotube | Jacobian: that looks about right. does "route -n" show the router as the default gateway? | 03:15 |
| phpcurious | jschiff: lo Interface doesn't support scanning, eth0 interface doesn't support scanning | 03:15 |
| darren_ | hi could some one please explain why my usb wirless dows not show signal strength in network manager but i can still connect | 03:15 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: yeah you have the wrong driver | 03:15 |
| tom_ | Xcerca: a volume manager that makes resizing and moving partions about easy, but has to be installed at install time, so unless you choose it when you installed ubuntu its not much use | 03:15 |
| jinette | necesito saber si alguien sabe algo sobre asterisk | 03:15 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: check lspci if it's a pci wireless card to find the model id number | 03:15 |

| Nutzebahn | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d3557ca1e | 03:15 |
| PDF_q | ok how about convert realplayer files to avi? | 03:15 |
| therealnanotube | Jacobian: set your static ip to be outside the dhcp range (i.e., if the router is handing out ip addresses of 192.168.0.2-100, give yourself 192.168.0.150, then you should be ok. | 03:16 |
| iFvwm | PDF_q: mencoder | 03:16 |
| Azazel-A2 | routere should be gateway. gateway should be 192.168.0.1 your gateway in interfaces should be gateway 192.168.0.1 to get name lookup from router | 03:16 |
| ^Phantom^ | yep it got stuck | 03:16 |
| Jacobian | I've been able to get a static IP address using ifconfig, but it's only temporary... I'd like to get a permanent one | 03:16 |

| Azazel-A2 | yes! | 03:17 |
| Azazel-A2 | always | 03:17 |
| jschiff | phpcurious: yeh then look for wireless something in there and it will tell you your card details | 03:17 |
| therealnanotube | Jacobian: the loopback is always there, and you should leave it that way. :) | 03:17 |

| bbeattie | Anyone know if it's possible to install dkms on feisty? I need to install the ati 8.8 drivers but that requires dkms and dkms is not part of the standard mirror locations or any other mirror for that matter. | 03:24 |

| darren_ | hi does any one know why my signal strength does not show in network manager | 03:28 |
| bbeattie | Jacobian: I don't have X running, so using the gui config tool is not possible, do you know what repos dkms can be found in for feisty? packages.ubuntu doesn't reference it. | 03:28 |
| Azazel-A2 | using mad wifi or ndiswrap? | 03:29 |
| darren_ | also one last thing in network-manager can i get it to read signel strength in a diffrent form | 03:29 |
| therealnanotube | bbeattie: in hardy, it's in universe. in feisty (which i'm also running), it doesn't seem to be available in any of the official ubuntu repos. | 03:30 |
| Azazel-A2 | bbeattie: apt-cache search dkms | 03:30 |
| Scunizi | bbeattie: Gutsy had it.. http://linux.dell.com/dkms | 03:30 |
| darren_ | I have a usb wireless wifi with alfa network rtl8187 driver and it does not show signal strength in network manager | 03:30 |
| bbeattie | Yup, seems like it's in anything beyond 7.04 but I need it for feisty | 03:30 |
| jschiff | bbeattie: download the source | 03:30 |
| Scunizi | bbeattie: do you want the source to build it? | 03:31 |

| Jacobian | Do you need the URL for the *.deb file? | 03:32 |
| jschiff | BBLake: System -> Administration -> Login Window | 03:32 |

| Azazel-A2 | anything with ubuntu is legally trademarked as ubuntu | 03:38 |

| pickthecrowdup | im not a genius when it comes to computers anyways | 03:38 |
| pickthecrowdup | what does that mean? | 03:38 |
| SebNaitsabes | goes is not Ubuntu | 03:39 |
| pickthecrowdup | oh.. | 03:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | this is ubuntu suppourt not gos suppourt however | 03:39 |
| jrib | cherico: the nvidia drivers work fine for me in hardy from the repositories | 03:39 |
| iFvwm | right | 03:39 |
| pickthecrowdup | gotcha.. i thought it was based on ubuntu | 03:39 |
| daklan | cherico: the nvidia drivers in hardy work fine with me | 03:39 |
| pickthecrowdup | sorry | 03:39 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: ask away though, i'll try to help out | 03:40 |

| pickthecrowdup | i need to access my c: drive and am running a live cd. i can't even eject the cd to access my cd rom | 03:40 |
| jigp | kelvin911 : you bet | 03:40 |
| Azazel-A2 | pickthecrowdup. Thats why I use ubuntu :) | 03:41 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: ah i see | 03:41 |
| cherico | not for me cuz i get a big black empt spot on the right side of the desktop its as if it cant use the whole screen i cant use the resolution i use to use and i cant see the bottom of my screens i open | 03:41 |
| mn | mk, thx jrib | 03:41 |
| cherico | makes it hard to install stuff... | 03:41 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: what you need to do is mount your windows partition | 03:41 |
| pickthecrowdup | i think i tried that | 03:41 |
| juan-intrepid | if my kernels are missing from /boot how do i put them back there, ive done update-initramfs but i dont think thats enough | 03:41 |
| BBLake | question: I have a dedicated linux hard drive. Should my grub.lst have ANYTHING that states windows/vista longhorn in it? (trying to determine reason for long boot times) | 03:41 |
| Azazel-A2 | hi qweerty | 03:41 |
| jigp | kelvin911 : how to put a icon dock there in the bottom? | 03:41 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: type fdisk -l | 03:41 |
| daklan | oh wow, geos looks cool... in a windows 95 kind of way :) | 03:41 |
| BBLake | jigp..avant window manager | 03:41 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: and let me see the output | 03:41 |
| BBLake | check it out | 03:41 |
| Azazel-A2 | ok, I have step by step instructions if you want to add tehe awn dock | 03:41 |
| pickthecrowdup | type that here? | 03:41 |
| Azazel-A2 | hardy? | 03:41 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: in a terminal | 03:42 |
| jigp | BBLake : i dont have avant window manager in System :( | 03:42 |
| vbman11 | does anyone here use stormbaan, this is the error I get when I run it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47306/ | 03:42 |
| pickthecrowdup | my c: drive is sda1 | 03:42 |
| jschiff | ok so | 03:42 |
| Azazel-A2 | you have to add repository to bottom of sources.list in /etc/apt then they will show up | 03:42 |
| daklan | BBLake: won't make a difference. you can update your menu.lst and run update-grub if you want to test your guess | 03:42 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 03:42 |
| juan-intrepid | BBLake: when is the delay in the boot bios? grub? spashscreen? login? | 03:43 |
| Darkkish | yarr, I just plugged in my WUSB54G is it supposed to auto-recognize it or something? | 03:43 |
| BBLake | no idea? i just believe an older kernel when i choose as default, boots quickly | 03:43 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: then your windows partition should be mounted on /mnt | 03:43 |
| Scunizi | jigp: AWN = Avant window navigator.. it's in the repos.. | 03:43 |
| BBLake | don't have access to any grub boot menu, or any start-up scripts..just black screen until the login window | 03:43 |
| BBLake | tried to use the grubeditor, and start-up manager. (still working on the latter) | 03:44 |
| daklan | BBLake: take a look at the contents of /var/log/messages. see if any errors were logged | 03:44 |
| leighaquarius | jschiff, if his c: drive is ntfs.. won't u need to mount it with ntfs3g? | 03:44 |
| kelvin911 | is awn the best dock? | 03:44 |
| BBLake | can i just take out the most current kernels, and try to re-update? | 03:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | no | 03:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | cario dock is good | 03:44 |
| jschiff | leighaquarius: no mount handles it fine | 03:44 |
| BBLake | kelvin..i think so, there is cairo dock as well | 03:44 |
| kelvin911 | which one uses less resources? | 03:44 |
| leighaquarius | jschiff, sweet thnx | 03:45 |
| juan-intrepid | if you install BUM it should let you choose to see a verbose startup without splash that will give you lots of text, if you look at what it slows down on that will give you a good place to start looking at | 03:45 |
| jschiff | leighaquarius: if you want to be specific you can mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /xxx | 03:45 |
| pickthecrowdup | ok.. it says can't find /dev/sda1/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 03:45 |
| jschiff | ah | 03:45 |
| pickthecrowdup | do i have to sudo su? | 03:45 |
| jschiff | you need a space | 03:45 |
| Azazel-A2 | never tried others, I run awn | 03:45 |
| jschiff | between the /dev/sda1 /mnt | 03:45 |
| pickthecrowdup | oh | 03:45 |
| tritium | pickthecrowdup: don't use sudo su. Use sudo -i. | 03:45 |
| Darkkish | how do i make my WUSB54G work? | 03:45 |
| juan-intrepid | BBLake: that may work, but i doubt it sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-generic would be the command | 03:46 |
| carandraug | jschiff: leighaquarius should you use -t ntfs-3g ? | 03:46 |
| carandraug | Darkkish: you'll need ndiswrapper | 03:46 |
| Darkkish | seriously? | 03:46 |
| Jacobian | kelvin911: If I remember right, AWN requires compiz. I don't use compiz myself, because I don't to give the system resources. You might look into Cairo... | 03:46 |
| carandraug | !ndiswrapper > Darkkish | 03:46 |
| ubottu | Darkkish, please see my private message | 03:46 |
| Darkkish | crap | 03:46 |
| jschiff | carandraug: man mount and check the types if you want | 03:46 |
| leighaquarius | carandraug, not sure.. i usually do all my windows partition mounting in fstab | 03:46 |
| kelvin911 | but the icon in awn is always changing position when u click it | 03:46 |
| carandraug | Darkkish: I did with mine. It's version 4 | 03:47 |
| Azazel-A2 | hey ubuntu with compiz is only pulling 600 megs of ram, :( | 03:47 |
| BBLake | juan...what about a more current update...would that possibly resolve it? | 03:47 |
| kelvin911 | very annoying, it doesnt do that before | 03:47 |
| BBLake | i'm on 19, but i hear .24 is in the repos? | 03:47 |
| daklan | mount should try to autodetect the filesystem type | 03:47 |
| pickthecrowdup | mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use | 03:47 |
| Esquilo | I'm having a little problem with FlyBack... I configured it to backup my files in /media/disk-1, but it shows me that it can't found this device | 03:47 |
| Darkkish | carandraug, how do i check what version mine is? | 03:47 |
| BBLake | not sure which way to go. i don't want to have to stay on .14 for the faster boot if i can resolve it | 03:47 |
| Azazel-A2 | I don;t think linux can reset ntfs dirty flag | 03:47 |
| Esquilo | but it is configured and done | 03:47 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: hmm then it may already be mounted | 03:47 |
| pickthecrowdup | let me add that the reason i am even using this is because windows took a dump | 03:47 |
| Dusti[n] | Azazel-A2 its not pulling that much on mine maybe you should kill it and restart | 03:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | Jacobian: awn requires a composting window manager in general, not compiz specifically | 03:47 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: what does mount say | 03:47 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: just plain simple mount | 03:47 |
| daklan | Azazel-A2: you can force-mount it, but the flag will remain | 03:47 |
| danbh_intrepid | BBLake: if you are talking kernels, yes, please update. The upgrade wont get rid of old kernels, so you can always fall back | 03:48 |
| pickthecrowdup | mount | 03:48 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: sudo mount | 03:48 |
| juan-intrepid | if my kernels are missing from /boot how do i put them back there, ive done update-initramfs but i dont think thats enough | 03:48 |
| BBLake | quickest way to update? | 03:48 |
| Azazel-A2 | awn, compiz, gnome, and all my eyecandy, thats about right | 03:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | BBLake: update-manager | 03:48 |
| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: if there is something in there that says /dev/sda1 then it's already mounted | 03:48 |
| Nutzebahn | Flannel? | 03:48 |
| pickthecrowdup | how do i copy and paste from xterm? | 03:48 |
| carandraug | Darkkish: check around the wireless adaptor. Mine has it written beneath the sliding piece with the thing to glue to some place. There's loads of tutorials on how to get it working on the net | 03:48 |
| jschiff | BBLake: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade | 03:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | juan-intrepid: where did they go? | 03:48 |

| jschiff | pickthecrowdup: no prob, hope you get the problem fixed | 03:52 |
| jschiff | bye all | 03:52 |
| carandraug | Darkkish: I don't think so. But if you got it working with ndisgtk (which sounds like a GUI version of ndisdwrapper), why are you asking? Did you made a fresh install? | 03:52 |
| yuwandong | 有中国朋友嘛 | 03:52 |
| gnychis | Azazel-A2: i would think that it would have upgraded grub menu | 03:52 |

| kelvin911 | how to hide the mount partition in desktop? | 03:53 |
| Darkkish | carandraug, I bet my tech teacher $10 I could hack his wep network :p | 03:53 |
| favro | gnychis: try sudo update-grub | 03:53 |
| Azazel-A2 | it should. but things happen. I used apt-get to install server, remvoe generic and had to manually correct menu.list, so it doesn't always work | 03:53 |
| kelvin911 | i dual boot with windows xp and the c: and d: shows up in the desktop, how to hide it? | 03:53 |
| Azazel-A2 | which desktop> | 03:54 |
| Azazel-A2 | ? | 03:54 |
| kelvin911 | in ubuntu | 03:54 |
| kelvin911 | i want to hide them on other user account | 03:54 |
| kelvin911 | and only shows up at the account i am using | 03:54 |
| gnychis | favro: boom, thank! | 03:54 |
| Azazel-A2 | make a mnt point in /mnt ie /mnt/c and /mnt/d and correct fstab media shows on desktop | 03:54 |
| favro | np :) | 03:54 |
| mn | Why can I not find OO.o-math?? | 03:55 |
| kelvin911 | ? | 03:55 |
| carandraug | pickthecrowdup: you need help mounting manually ntfs partitions? I can get you a hand, if you want. Pastebin the iutput of "df -h" and "sudo fdisk -l" | 03:55 |
| Azazel-A2 | kelvin, try this. open a terminal window | 03:55 |
| Grenyaris | anyone know of a reliable SATA RAID Hardware controller (not fake raid, but the real thing) ? | 03:55 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: stand by | 03:55 |
| Esquilo | Have anybody here used FlyBack? | 03:56 |
| Azazel-A2 | kelivn still here? | 03:56 |
| daklan | Grenyaris: i had experience with promise adapters. they're not the best, but are pretty much reliable | 03:56 |
| kelvin911 | yea? | 03:56 |
| kelvin911 | do i just edit the fstab? | 03:56 |
| kelvin911 | i just dont want them to appear on the desktop for some user account | 03:57 |
| Azazel-A2 | yes. but move the mount from media which is auto to /mnt/c and /mnt/d which will not show on desktop | 03:57 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: PATA? SATA? SCSI? | 03:57 |
| Azazel-A2 | .. /media/anything puts an icon on desktop | 03:58 |
| Grenyaris | SATA, the real hardware controller thing, not the fake raid... | 03:58 |
| kelvin911 | ok | 03:58 |
| carandraug | kelvin911: Azazel-A2 wouldn't it be easier to just tell nautilus to not show mounted partitions in the desktop? Gimme a minutes and I'll find that option in gconf-editor | 03:58 |
| LSD|Ninja | Grenyaris: 3ware have a decent rep | 03:58 |
| daklan | Grenyaris: can't remember the model, but it's got 8 SATA ports and great linux support | 03:58 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: PCI? PCI-E? | 03:58 |
| DxC | Hi guys, me again...Heh...Anyway, I was wondering if there's a way to change my username in ubuntu? (*Not* my 'Real Name') | 03:58 |
| kelvin911 | but what if i want them to show on my account but not the account for others? | 03:58 |
| Azazel-A2 | carandraug, perhaps, but its not correct solution for a perminately mounted drive | 03:58 |
| Grenyaris | PCI or PCIe | 03:58 |
| Azazel-A2 | windows c and d are part of his file system not media | 03:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | Grenyaris: 3ware do both now I believe | 03:59 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116030 | 03:59 |
| kelvin911 | because i dont want my gf mess with c: and d: | 03:59 |
| Azazel-A2 | if you put them in mnt make a private directory and chown it to just you and she can't get to them | 03:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | Grenyaris: If you're serious about this though you may want to consider a SAS RAID controller. You can put SATA discs on it to begin with but have the option to go SAS later on | 03:59 |
| amrik | Hi I need a little help with firefox | 04:00 |
| carandraug | Azazel-A2: you think? Why not? I may be wrong but it doesn't matter where it is mounted, it's gnome who's configured to show an icon on the desktop, you just turn that option off. | 04:00 |
| amrik | the mimetype for opening rm files is set to realplayer but i uninstalled realplayer; how can I reset it back to the way it was ie. get it to default to totem? | 04:00 |
| Azazel-A2 | because he might want to see his mp3 player someday | 04:00 |
| Jacobian | DxC: It looks like this will help you change the username: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/ | 04:00 |
| kelvin911 | carandraug: how to trun it off? | 04:00 |
| kelvin911 | turn* | 04:00 |
| DxC | Jacobian - I'll check that out | 04:00 |
| Azazel-A2 | you turn it off, you loose usb drives on desktop | 04:01 |
| mneptok | Azazel-A2: "lose" O:) | 04:01 |
| Azazel-A2 | noted ;) | 04:01 |
| mneptok | (pet peeve) | 04:01 |
| kelvin911 | maybe i will figure this out later | 04:01 |
| kelvin911 | anyway how come movie has screen tearing? | 04:02 |
| kelvin911 | is it the compiz? | 04:02 |
| Azazel-A2 | kelvin, my suggestion is fstab and mount them off something like /mnt/windows/what ever and make windows chown for you only so gf can;t see mount points | 04:02 |
| Grenyaris | Thanks guys, I will look into the 3ware ones, they have a raid 6 and 10 supporter, and that is where I was going to go...also one with SAS, but I don't really wanna spend over $800...however...well, I gotta do what I gotta do... | 04:02 |
| carandraug | kelvin911: Azazel-A2 is right. You'll also lose usb drives on desktop. If you want to, open gconf-editor and go to Apps > Nautilus > Desktop | 04:02 |
| Grenyaris | Next question... | 04:02 |
| Grenyaris | Is there a "parental control" suite for Linux? | 04:02 |
| kelvin911 | i dont wanna lose usb | 04:02 |
| kelvin911 | i have many usb external drives | 04:02 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: to filter web content? | 04:03 |
| Azazel-A2 | kelvin fstab | 04:03 |
| Azazel-A2 | only viable solution | 04:03 |
| Azazel-A2 | yes mneptok I know | 04:03 |
| Grenyaris | yes | 04:03 |
| Grenyaris | I need to filter web stuff... | 04:03 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: http://www.opendns.com/ <--- do it at the DNS level | 04:03 |
| Jacobian | amrik: Did you get your question answered yet? | 04:03 |
| Grenyaris | I have heard about "Dan's Guardian" ... | 04:03 |
| danbh_intrepid | Grenyaris: you should look into the Christian Ubuntu. It has lots of censorship apps | 04:04 |
| kelvin911 | UUID=6AA0A5CBA0A59DD7 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 <------- do i change /media/sda1 to /mnt/c ?? | 04:04 |
| mneptok | Grenyaris: don't bother. use OpenDNS and protect any and all devices on your network. | 04:04 |
| amrik | Jacobian: no not as yet | 04:04 |
| Azazel-A2 | ok, first make /mount/windows then make /mnt/windows/c and d | 04:04 |
| Azazel-A2 | you;ll understand the /windows in 1 sec | 04:04 |
| amrik | Jacobian: basically my real problem is i made the mistake of installing real player | 04:04 |
| kelvin911 | and do i have to manually mkdir /mnt/c ?? | 04:04 |
| Grenyaris | Ok, thanks, I will look into OpenDNS... | 04:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | sudo -s | 04:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | mkdir /mnt/windows | 04:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | mkdir /mnt/windows/c | 04:05 |
| amrik | Jacobian: and now i am trying to get rid of the last traces of it. one of these traces is that it tries to default to /home/amrik/RealPlayer/realplayer to playback real media files | 04:05 |
| kelvin911 | why /mnt/windows? | 04:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | chown root:your_user_name /mnt/windows | 04:05 |
| Jacobian | amrik: You can set this in Firefox, by going to: Edit->Preferences, and then Applications | 04:05 |
| kelvin911 | why not just /mnt/c and /mnt/d ? | 04:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | chmod a-rwx /mnt/windows | 04:05 |
| Azazel-A2 | gf can't see them now | 04:06 |
| amrik | Jacobian: oh i see the menu. but it isnt letting me get rid of the realplayer option | 04:07 |
| Azazel-A2 | chmod ug+rwx /mnt/windows | 04:07 |
| SebNaitsabes | !mount | 04:07 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 04:07 |

| pickthecrowdup | !mount | 04:07 |
| iFvwm | !fdisk | 04:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk | 04:08 |
| Jacobian | amrik: There should be two columns, Content Type on the left, and Application on the right. If you click on the line with Application, are you able to change the Application that is used? | 04:08 |
| amrik | oh i see now | 04:08 |
| kelvin911 | if i delete file in c: by deleting it using gui, does it move the file to c:\.trash ? | 04:08 |
| Jacobian | amrik: Ah, excellent :) | 04:08 |
| amrik | Jacobian: however it still has RealPlayer as the default value | 04:08 |
| amrik | Jacobian: not quite sure what the realplayer install script did to make it this way but I would like to undo that | 04:09 |
| kelvin911 | and what if i do rm /media/sda1/myfile? does it gone 4ever? | 04:09 |
| Azazel-A2 | no I beleive it will be ~/.local/share/Trash/files as mnt is part of your filesystem and not media | 04:09 |
| Jacobian | amrik: I would manually change Firefox back, to make sure that it opens with the Application you like. Then you can go to Synaptic, and see if there are any other files that could be deleted. By default, Ubuntu leaves the configuration files when you uninstall a program. But you can remove them through Synaptic (or the command line). | 04:10 |
| Azazel-A2 | kelvin. I suggest you add an alias line to .bashrc | 04:10 |
| pickthecrowdup | help sudo apt-get | 04:10 |
| kelvin911 | what alias line? | 04:10 |
| vaportrail124 | anyone know how to use ssh in ubuntu, namely with a haxed iphone | 04:11 |
| Azazel-A2 | in alias section add alias rm='mv --target-directory=~/.local/share/Trash/files' then if you use rm is moves delted files to trash barrel and you can empty them on desktop. good for accidental rm *'s and stuff | 04:11 |
| kelvin911 | my c: now is mounted to /media/sda1, if i do rm -r /media/sda1/* what happen? | 04:11 |
| Azazel-A2 | bad idea. umount /media/sda1 | 04:11 |
| amrik | Jacobian: alright I guess I can live with having an entry in that menu that does nothing. =\ but lesson learned, never install crapware knowingly | 04:11 |
| Jacobian | amrik: There should be an option to Open with another application... you should be enter Totem there | 04:12 |
| kelvin911 | even if the file is moved to ~/.local/share/Trash/files if i undelete will the file goes back to the original dir? | 04:12 |
| Azazel-A2 | .. /media/sda1 folder is not a real mount point and will disapear after umount | 04:12 |
| emanuel1 | hello | 04:12 |

| nkei0 | anyone here use vuze? | 04:17 |
| pancho | i have seen other people using the voice thing, but can't find any tutorial | 04:18 |
| kelvin911 | nkei0: azureus?? | 04:18 |
| oupa | Hi. I'm trying to create an openssl CA, following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL. I get an error: Unable to load config info from /home... The file is there, so why can't openssl find it? | 04:18 |
| daklan | pancho: if that's the case, there's gotta be someone who cared to write about it | 04:18 |
| BBLake | OK, so why do some kernel's take forever to boot, and other kernel | 04:18 |
| nkei0 | kelvin911: nah, Vuze, it's basically the same thing though, Vuze is the java version that's all pretty | 04:19 |
| BBLake | 's boot quick | 04:19 |
| BBLake | ?? | 04:19 |
| kelvin911 | i installed vuze in windows in a new pc. i think it has lots of useless feature | 04:19 |
| kelvin911 | the old 1 is a lot better | 04:19 |
| nkei0 | i just liked how easy it was to access all of the HD content on vuze with it | 04:20 |
| Jacobian | oupa: It might be that there is a problem with the data inside the CA that is preventing it from being loaded. Is there any way you could check the contents? | 04:20 |
| daklan | any bittorrent feature other than file sharing is useless | 04:20 |
| kelvin911 | daklan: yes | 04:20 |
| gbear14275 | hey guys, I'm getting LBA and CHS mismatch errors after I partition my dual boot setup and when I rewrite the MBR using testdisk it skips my grub bootloader and boots right to windows... | 04:20 |
| gbear14275 | any ideas or anyone come across this problem before? | 04:20 |
| carandraug | daklan: selective download is not useless | 04:21 |
| danbh_intrepid | daklan: thanks for your opinion, but thats not true, nor particularly relevant to #ubuntu | 04:21 |
| kelvin911 | i like torrent client jsut be torrent client, not file browser or internet browser | 04:21 |
| blogger08 | any good, firefox extension to download youtube video? | 04:21 |
| oupa | jacobian: I don't know of a way. only eyeballs. it looks right to me | 04:21 |
| nkei0 | daklan: Yeah, but all of the content on vuze is legal, so i like that part... | 04:21 |
| kelvin911 | or even media player | 04:21 |
| gbear14275 | daklan... newcomer to bittorrent huh? | 04:21 |
| Azazel-A2 | they all beat the windows dock | 04:22 |
| oupa | jacobian: the openssl site says that this erro means that the file is not found | 04:22 |
| Jacobian | oupa: Well, the main things I can think of that might prevent the file from opening are unexpected permissions or a file path problem. Could either of those be the problem? | 04:22 |
| daklan | gbear14275: not quite. just don't care about "features" | 04:22 |
| nkei0 | danbh_intrepid: Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of a sound way to get vuze to work with ubuntu 8.04, i had it working earlier today but my dual boot with windows crashed everything so now i'm ubuntu only | 04:22 |
| kelvin911 | i dont use torrent anymore | 04:22 |
| kelvin911 | torrent is slow most of the time | 04:22 |
| gbear14275 | what do you consider "features"? | 04:22 |
| blogger08 | anyone | 04:22 |
| gbear14275 | torrents are slow? compared to what kelvin? | 04:22 |
| chubs | blogger08, search the firefox extensions page | 04:22 |
| iFvwm | kelvin911: benliud is good software on bottorrent. | 04:23 |
| kelvin911 | rapidshare | 04:23 |
| Azazel-A2 | not for firefox 3 or better :( | 04:23 |
| kelvin911 | i can download rapidshare at 1250 KB/s | 04:23 |
| iFvwm | or rtorrent | 04:23 |
| kelvin911 | compare to torrent 60KB/s most of the time | 04:23 |
| blogger08 | its not there, but there is one i use but cant remember the namechubs, | 04:23 |
| oupa | jaconian: the file is in my home directory and I'm running openssl as me and I'm using the full path | 04:24 |
| oupa | jacobian: the file is in my home directory and I'm running openssl as me and I'm using the full path | 04:24 |
| gbear14275 | well if you can find everything on rapidshare at 1250kbps then i'd go for it then | 04:24 |
| kelvin911 | not everything but almost | 04:24 |

| Wolf23 | hello friends | 04:26 |
| kelvin911 | i dual boot | 04:26 |
| Jacobian | oupa: I wonder if you could check the logs, and see if there was an access attempt at another location? | 04:26 |
| oupa | jacobian: I cut and paste the path from the error message and open the file with nano | 04:26 |
| bazhang | gbear14275, did you install xp second | 04:26 |
| BBLake | !kernels | 04:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernels | 04:26 |
| Wolf23 | somebody help me please! | 04:26 |
| gbear14275 | kelvin, you ever run into any chs and lba mismatch errors? | 04:26 |
| Jacobian | oupa: That would tell you where the certificate was expected to be | 04:26 |
| gbear14275 | no, xp first then ubuntu afterwards | 04:26 |
| chubs | !anyone | Wolf23 | 04:26 |
| ubottu | Wolf23: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 04:26 |
| Jacobian | oupa: Hmm, I see | 04:26 |
| kelvin911 | gbear14275: what? | 04:26 |
| bazhang | gbear14275, what is the exact prob then | 04:26 |
| gbear14275 | partition out some extra space and run testdisk.... come back with a slew of chs and lba mismatches | 04:26 |
| Jacobian | oupa: All right, you're running this from your own user, and the file was also created by you? | 04:27 |
| oupa | jacobian: yes | 04:27 |
| gbear14275 | would like to fix them but this is the second time that after rewriting the mbr its killed my boot partition | 04:27 |
| Wolf23 | chubs: thanx : ) , but please i have a video .avi and i want to cut from it the begining of the movie,how can i do this on ubuntu plz? | 04:27 |
| Jacobian | oupa: Is there any chance the certificate is being accessed by root? I know with apache, the server is started by root, and then switches over the user account that you specify. | 04:27 |
| Azazel-A2 | boot partition is not in mbr... | 04:27 |

| justin__ | does anyone know how to make a crt monitor support more than 60hz on any resolution? | 04:28 |
| gbear14275 | so if I use testdisk to rewrite an mbr is it going to automatically default whatever partition its running to be the default boot? | 04:28 |
| oupa | jacobian: there is no certificate yet. I am trying to create a CA which I will use to create the certificate | 04:28 |
| Azazel-A2 | you need to add both boots to your menu.list for grub | 04:29 |
| Circs | After a bit my ubuntu starts experiencing huge slowdowns and begins making excessive use of virtual memory, I have 768 megs of ram and was wondering why this is happening | 04:29 |
| keevie | can anyone here help with mysql and torrentflux-b4rt? | 04:29 |
| oupa | jacobian: I just tried running openssl with sudo. it seems to work | 04:29 |
| gbear14275 | azazel... I can get the menu to load right and show both the boot options... but I'd like to be able to fix the chs and lba mismatches... is that something I'm just going to have to overlook with a dualboot? | 04:29 |
| Jacobian | oupa: Hmm, very interesting | 04:29 |
| danbh_intrepid | Circs: try usiiing top to check what is eating the memory | 04:29 |

| Guest16753 | Hi. Does anyone know if it is bad to shutdown a system with an encrypted loopback mounted? | 04:30 |
| carandraug | nlksg: System > Preferences > Start Menu | 04:30 |
| Azazel-A2 | circs, how much memory is being used just sitting at desktop. I noted there is a huge disparity between top and the memory tool in gnome. top always does that where the memory evaporates, but the memory monitor in gnomestill shows it free | 04:30 |
| BBLake | where do i learn about kernels? | 04:30 |
| BBLake | !kernels | 04:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernels | 04:30 |
| oupa | jacobian: yeah, it's not ideal but maybe that's how it's supposed to be. would be nice if the howto said so :) | 04:30 |
| Jacobian | nlksg: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu will let you get Add/Remove back again | 04:31 |
| justin__ | !monitor frequency | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:31 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about frequency | 04:31 |
| justin__ | !hertz | 04:31 |

| justin__ | !hz | 04:31 |
| Jacobian | oupa: It was smart of you to think of that :) | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hz | 04:31 |
| Circs | Azazel-A2: Well even the gnome system monitor says 93% or more is used but doesn't show what app has it | 04:31 |
| Azazel-A2 | bblake, depends what is in kernel | 04:31 |
| nlksg | Jacobian : i dont' have that entry also :( | 04:31 |
| Azazel-A2 | go to terminal and type top | 04:31 |
| BBLake | how can i determine that? | 04:32 |
| Azazel-A2 | that will show what app has it | 04:32 |
| Jacobian | nlksg: What do you have in your main menu? | 04:32 |
| Circs | Azazel-A2: I should probably wait until i encounter the issue again then huh. | 04:32 |
| Azazel-A2 | no, you now know how to figure it out lol | 04:32 |
| Wolf23 | chubs: any result? | 04:32 |
| gbear14275 | azazel, any ideas | 04:32 |
| gbear14275 | ? | 04:32 |
| nlksg | Jacobian: i think i some how removed from synaptic | 04:32 |
| Azazel-A2 | sorry gbear, on what wasn't paying attention | 04:33 |
| carandraug | nlksg: you can add that menu back to your panel. Right click on it and select add to panel and search for the Start menu | 04:33 |
| Jacobian | nlksg: If there is no main menu at all, you can right click on a toolbar, and then choose Add to Panel. There are two different menus that you can include in your toolbar. | 04:33 |
| chubs | Wolf23, sorry. try avidemux | 04:33 |
| Circs | Azazel-A2: It says 741732k total 674788k used | 04:33 |
| BBLake | azazel - if i delete out all the kernels but the one i'm using (the one that works), can i upgrade without having issues? | 04:33 |
| chubs | wobblyw1, | 04:33 |
| gbear14275 | oh I said I was able to build my grub menu so it showed both boot options correctly but I was hoping to figure out how to resolve the chs and lba mismatches | 04:33 |
| BBLake | the one i'm using is .14 all the rest are newer, but don't function well | 04:33 |
| chubs | Wolf23, sudo apt-get install avidemux | 04:33 |
| Circs | Azazel-A2: And I just have my chat client and one firefox window open | 04:33 |

Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." | 04:34 |
| Azazel-A2 | you need what ever kernel is in your sources for apt | 04:34 |
| tienhn | I have some question about SATA disk performance on ubuntu. Anyone here is an expert in this topic? | 04:34 |
| slango | I'd be happy to just refresh the entire thing | 04:34 |
| BBLake | hmmm. interesting. So my system might be using more than one kernel at a time? | 04:34 |
| Wolf23 | chubs: ok i have it installed | 04:34 |
| Jacobian | nlksg: Let me know if that works. If it's removed from synaptic, then I can give you the command you need to reinstall it. | 04:34 |
| Azazel-A2 | my machine is around 600 meg maybe more w/ firefox. I had 1 gig, added just another 1/4 gig and it got 10x better | 04:34 |
| ajai | hi.i have a question on network connection in ubuntu | 04:34 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: Your sources look fine. And, it looks to be a bug in something. Let me take a look to see if there's a workaround | 04:35 |
| BBLake | so i just default my system to the old one to boot from, and leave everything else as is? | 04:35 |
| ajai | i seems having problem in my roaming in ubuntu | 04:35 |
| danbh_intrepid | !home > slango I say, have a separate /home, then you can just reinstall | 04:35 |
| ubottu | slango, please see my private message | 04:35 |
| chubs | Wolf23, i don't have it installed right now and don't know it off of the top of my head. It should be trivial to just trim the beginning of a video though | 04:35 |
| carandraug | nlksg: you can check if you have it installed or not by running "gnome-app-install" in the terminal | 04:35 |
| Guest16753 | BBLake, no. Unless you switch between two, you probably only use one and the others have just not been removed. At least, that was true in debian. | 04:35 |
| Circs | Azazel-A2: That seems a little extreme | 04:35 |
| nlksg | Jacobian: can you give me the command to reinstall? | 04:35 |
| ThipThip | I need a little help brainstorming. Yesterday (and even earlier today) I was able to play warcraft iii with no problems whatsoever. Then, later today, when I came home from work, it started exhibiting the following behavior: It will load fine, but every so often, seemingly at random, it will lock up very tight for between 5 and 20 seconds. I cannot move the mouse during this time. I've tried everything I can think of. Anybody h | 04:35 |

| ajai | whenever i bring up the network connection box, it gives me two checkbox for Wirelss and Wired connection. | 04:36 |
| chetnick | Circs, paste your "top" output on http://pastebin.com/ | 04:36 |
| slango | danbh_intrepid: not a bad idea, but that's not really an option at this point | 04:36 |
| Wolf23 | chubs: ok i try, thank u :) | 04:36 |
| BBLake | i just don't want to delete the ones that don't work, and the one that DOES work not work...(i know that makes sense) | 04:36 |
| ajai | but i only wanted wirlress connection..even thougb i uncheck the wired ..but it is not workiong | 04:36 |
| danbh_intrepid | slango: why not? | 04:36 |
| Jacobian | nlksg: Were you able to try carandraug's suggestion? | 04:36 |
| Azazel-A2 | ubuntu 8.04 out of the box w/ no advance effects manager is like 250 megs of ram | 04:36 |
| anonusr | BBLake: what? is the kernel you are using now working? | 04:36 |
| slango | danbh_intrepid: don't have a free partition for it, and I'd have to do a lot of partition resizing and juggling to get all of my data copied over | 04:36 |
| slango | I'm not running on a very large hard drive here, so moving partitions after the fact is a big pain | 04:37 |
| Azazel-A2 | bblake what kernel are you using? | 04:37 |
| Flannel | Azazel-A2: out of the box includes effects. | 04:37 |
| BBLake | .14 is the one that boots nicely | 04:37 |
| Circs | chetnick: Not to sound like an idiot, but it doesn't seem to want to let me copy/paste | 04:37 |
| ajai | anyone? | 04:37 |
| BBLake | anything .18 , or .19 etc. takes 12 minutes to boot | 04:37 |
| Azazel-A2 | I guess since I hadn't immediately loaded restricted drivers they never loaded lol | 04:37 |
| nlksg | Jacobian: no, can't also | 04:37 |
| chetnick | try top > top.txt | 04:37 |

| ThipThip | ajai: What do you mean it is not working? | 04:37 |
| Azazel-A2 | bblake uname -a plz | 04:38 |
| ajai | it is not connection | 04:38 |

| chetnick | Circs, try , "top > top.txt" and than opent top.txt file and copy | 04:38 |

| slango | by that time, I'm sure I'd have lost something | 04:38 |
| ajai | and the eth0 and eth1 gives me no packets Rx and Tx | 04:38 |
| RickZilla | Ok, just so I get this straight...d/l ubuntu, install it, then d/l the edubuntu addition and install that. Do I understand that correctly? | 04:38 |
| ajai | only on the local loopback i have seen some figures for rx and tx packets | 04:38 |
| BBLake | that's right | 04:38 |
| Flannel | RickZilla: That's correct. | 04:39 |

| Flannel | RickZilla: And you don't necessarily need an edubuntu CD, you can install straight from the repositories. | 04:39 |
| BBLake | how do i determine the exact kernel so i can post it | 04:39 |
| Circs | chetnick: I put that in and then where does the file go? | 04:39 |
| chetnick | BBLake, uname -a | 04:39 |

| Azazel-A2 | I am interested in his complaint thats the new kernel is slower | 04:40 |
| visu | hello every body | 04:40 |
| Flannel | RickZilla: Everything on the addon CD is also in the repos (although I'm not sure what sort of metapackages it has) | 04:40 |

| Singer | chetnick: I have to turn the mouse off and then on again | 04:46 |
| Singer | then it works | 04:46 |
| Azazel-A2 | add it as a manul mount in fstab then it will unmount when you shut down | 04:46 |

| zigzag2 | can someone tell me what the name of the codec to view real media video files is? .rmvb | 04:47 |
| anonusr | wait, does automatic unmounting require fstab, or does it do it for everything? I ask because it wasn't the mount I was worried about as much as the losetup and cryptsetup steps. | 04:47 |
| Azazel-A2 | I don't know answer, so safe bet is add it to fstab. I'm sure on that one | 04:48 |
| Azazel-A2 | plus less typing to mount it again! | 04:48 |

| bullgard4 | Flannel: Ok. How to peek and poke into this database directly via SQL? | 05:23 |
| skylar_ | bullgard4, SQL is a pretty in-depth topic | 05:23 |

| evilGUI | is 70c after 45mins on a celeron m 1.6ghz bad? | 05:23 |
| hwilde | bullgard4, is it mysql | 05:23 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: its sqlite, so you'd use SQL | 05:24 |
| vocx | cheeky, I believe not. A lot of people think that. That you need to harden your Linux firewall, even if they already have a router. | 05:24 |
| Flannel | hwilde: its not mysql | 05:24 |
| hwilde | but mysql is the bomb :) | 05:24 |
| fyrestrtr | evilGUI: that's quite cool. | 05:24 |
| fyrestrtr | hwilde: a very explosive bomb | 05:24 |
| evilGUI | lol it's jot as crap | 05:24 |

| Flannel | Nutzebahn: Your sources look fine. And, it looks to be a bug in something. Let me take a look to see if there's a workaround | 05:25 |

| Kompuntu | anyone knows if its possible to get all mouse buttons to work when using Synergy and sharing a mouse from another machine? | 05:26 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Hmm, i had never had a problem with it Kompuntu | 05:26 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: Thank you for your information. | 05:26 |
| Kompuntu | i can't get the back/forward buttons to work... | 05:26 |
| vocx | cheeky, I guess it's extra paranoia from Windows days. But in reality, Linux has no ports open by default, and if you have a router, that's already pretty good security. | 05:27 |
| Kompuntu | lol | 05:27 |
| Kompuntu | yeah | 05:27 |
| WalkingAsterisk | You mean the whell Kompuntu ? | 05:27 |
| Kompuntu | i'm very problem-free | 05:27 |

| === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman | ||
| WalkingAsterisk | Kompuntu, i would certainly help. But i am unsure why you are experiencing that problem | 05:28 |
| bullgard4 | skylar_: I am using SQLite in Kexi. So I know this. | 05:29 |
| acrousey | I've been using ubuntu for a few months now, and after playing around with the live CD for the alpha version of Intrepid, I get a thing that says "GRUB Loading stage 1.5. GRUB loading, please wait. . . Error 22" | 05:29 |
| hwilde | Kompuntu, have you used the mouse on both machines | 05:29 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Error 22 eh | 05:29 |
| cheeky | hwilde: from wat i started to read .. and gain .. knowledge ..was as a security measure you could actually move your home directorey to a different partition ..which i thought was hella neat | 05:29 |
| Kompuntu | well...i have two boxes: XP and Ubuntu Hardy. XP being the Synergy server. When i switch the kbd/mouse to Ubuntu - the side buttons on the mouse no longer work. | 05:29 |
| acrousey | walking asterisk: do you know what error 22 is? | 05:29 |
| Kompuntu | And on XP the mouse works fine, probably because the drivers are installed on XP... | 05:30 |
| hwilde | Kompuntu, does the mouse work on both machines independently | 05:30 |
| hwilde | !fixgrub > acrousey | 05:30 |
| ubottu | acrousey, please see my private message | 05:30 |
| Kompuntu | i haven't tried connecting the mouse to the ubuntu machine | 05:30 |
| WalkingAsterisk | im googling acrousey, | 05:30 |
| Kompuntu | but i did have an MS Explorer there | 05:30 |
| Kompuntu | and it worked fine, all the buttons worked | 05:31 |
| acrousey | WalkingAsterisk: thanks! | 05:31 |
| hwilde | Kompuntu, put the mouse on ubuntu. | 05:31 |
| WalkingAsterisk | acrousey, are you still using a live cd or did you install ? | 05:31 |
| hwilde | acrousey, it means grub is pointing at the wrong partition, did you see the message from ubottu | 05:31 |
| Kompuntu | Ok, hang on, i'll try that. brb | 05:31 |
| vocx | acrousey, you should not ask questions about intrepid in this channel. Go to #ubuntu+1 for more support. Booting errors are common in unstable releases. | 05:31 |
| acrousey | WalkingAsterisk: I decided not to install | 05:31 |
| hwilde | !intrepid | 05:31 |
| ubottu | Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! | 05:31 |
| acrousey | vocx: I didn't install it | 05:32 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Are you running the latest live cd acrousey ? | 05:32 |
| acrousey | WalkingAsterisk: the cd isn't in the drive, I removed it so that I could get into 8.04 | 05:32 |
| WalkingAsterisk | acrousey, if its a live cd you need the cd in the drive | 05:33 |
| WalkingAsterisk | it needs to read from the disc to run | 05:33 |
| acrousey | walkingasterisk: I have 8.04 installed on the computer | 05:33 |
| acrousey | i'm not on that computer now | 05:33 |
| WalkingAsterisk | so is it the 8.04 thats installed giving an error or the live cd ? | 05:33 |
| acrousey | no live cd | 05:34 |
| WalkingAsterisk | ..... | 05:34 |
| Nutzebahn_ | Flannel? | 05:34 |
| Nutzebahn_ | Sorry. | 05:34 |
| WalkingAsterisk | based on google. The grub config is borked. Its pointing to the wrong drive or not seeing a master. I really dont know how to springboard you though. Maybe someone else mite know. | 05:35 |
| acrousey | i restarted the computer from the live cd... it then asks you to remove the cd and push enter... I did that... upon the reboot, i get the Error 22 | 05:35 |
| Nutzebahn_ | Flannel: I was disconnected, the last message I got was the one saying that you need to take a look for a workaround. | 05:35 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Why do you need a live cd if you have ubuntu installed acrousey | 05:35 |
| Monotoko | hiya guys | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: There appears to be a workaround here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/194140 | 05:35 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 194140 in cyrus-sasl2 "Dependency cycle prevents upgrade of libsasl2-2" [Undecided,New] | 05:35 |
| WalkingAsterisk | So. | 05:36 |
| WalkingAsterisk | it is the installed os thats giving the error ? | 05:36 |
| acrousey | walkingasterisk: I wanted to see if there were any differences between 8.04 and the new alpha of 8.10 | 05:36 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Ok. | 05:36 |
| acrousey | walkingasterisk: I guess | 05:36 |
| Monotoko | im having a few problems mounting my drives, i just get "unable to mount drives" whenever i try and access my drives | 05:36 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Again its your grub config file. Its pointing to the wrong drive | 05:36 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Im unsure of how a live cd would make that happen though. | 05:36 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Try not putting the cd in at all and doing a clean reboot | 05:37 |
| jthan | I'm trying to reconfigure my fileserver, and It's going well up to this point, but when I plug in my external hard drive it auto-mounts it. I want to unmount it, but it keeps saying "umount: /: device is busy" can someone please help me? | 05:37 |
| Monotoko | how do i fix that? (im running vista and ubuntu) | 05:37 |
| acrousey | sounds good | 05:37 |
| Monotoko | ahh | 05:37 |
| acrousey | same live cd? | 05:37 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Dont put any cd in | 05:37 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Just reboot with no cd and see if your installed OS boots. | 05:37 |
| acrousey | i tried it about three times... same results | 05:38 |
| WalkingAsterisk | Unfortunately beyond that. I don't have the skill to aid you further. All i can suggest is google. If all else fails a clean install maybe. | 05:38 |
| WalkingAsterisk | If there are things on the drive you dont want to loose. You mite be able to mount it in another computer and pull the data | 05:39 |
| vocx | acrousey, you can most probably edit the grub file with the live cd, you may have to check the UUID of the partition. | 05:39 |
| acrousey | UUID? | 05:39 |
| vocx | WalkingAsterisk, doing a reinstall seems a little excessive. | 05:40 |
| vocx | !uuid | acrousey | 05:40 |
| ubottu | acrousey: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:40 |
| WalkingAsterisk | It would be vocx, I just ment that as a last resort if he cant fix it. Its better then a dead machine | 05:40 |
| Monotoko | guys, how do i mount my drives, as my C drive sint showing >.> | 05:40 |
| Monotoko | well, its showing | 05:40 |
| acrousey | vocx: sound i'd just have to run that command from the a live CD? | 05:40 |
| Monotoko | i just get "unable to mount drive" | 05:40 |
| linux_ | hello there | 05:41 |
| Monotoko | hi | 05:41 |
| acrousey | vocx *so i'd just have to run that comman from the shell in the live CD? | 05:41 |
| linux_ | need help | 05:41 |
| linux_ | would like to set up an ubuntu print server with lpd service | 05:42 |
| vocx | acrousey, the UUID appears in the file /etc/fstab, maybe when you ran the Live CD, the UUID changed, so now when you try to boot normally, grub doesn't find the correct disk because of it. Then you need to change the file. | 05:42 |
| linux_ | is there a howto I can refer to? | 05:42 |
| skylar_ | my dyndns name sends a browser in my network to the modem set-up page/screen/IP. What do I need to do to get "It Works!"? | 05:43 |
| linux_ | you see it's important that the other linux clients be able to find the printers within the network via queue names | 05:44 |
| vocx | acrousey, I would advice on reading "man fstab" for more information. Also, grub sometimes throws errors because something happened to the drive. Try unplugging it, and plugging it back. Check the BIOS for changes. Seems odd that it would just stop working like that. | 05:44 |
| skylar_ | for anywhere on the www.... | 05:45 |
| acrousey | vocx: yeah, that's what i was thinking | 05:45 |
| WalkingAsterisk | linux_, Google for ubuntu print server | 05:45 |
| evilGUI | anyone think liteon chargers a are cheaply made I've been through 3 this year... | 05:45 |

| WalkingAsterisk | great* | 05:45 |
| Flannel | evilGUI: That'd be a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. Thanks. | 05:45 |
| vocx | acrousey, you may also reinstall grub with the aid of the live cd, or with supergrub disk. I would try this first. But you need to read on it, since I don't reinstall grub every day, I don't remember the exact commands off the top of my head. | 05:46 |
| Prez00 | hello | 05:46 |
| Nutzebahn_ | Flannel: No such file nor directory, when I try the dpkg -i thing. | 05:46 |
| acrousey | ok | 05:46 |
| linux_ | walkingasterisk, tried that, too, there were a couple that I followed but I haven't been successful still | 05:46 |

Even if I switch to text terminal, it is black, but machine is up, i can ssh to it and all seems to be working. It is a thinkpaad with intel GM965/GL960 graphics card. if i use the recovery menu option to boot and then just hit resume, it will always work ok into GDM, any ideas? | 05:48 |

| linux_ | it worked, but it's not exactly what I need | 05:50 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: that's only from m on. pipe it to a textfile, then grab it from there | 05:50 |

| WalkingAsterisk | linux_, Im not sure what to suggest man | 05:52 |
| FAJALOU | and if it crashes that bad will something normally show up in syslog? | 05:52 |
| fyrestrtr | FAJALOU: I mean there is power failure IN your computer. | 05:52 |
| fyrestrtr | FAJALOU: not on a system halt. | 05:53 |
| linux_ | it's okay, just hoping someone here could help me out :) | 05:53 |
| fyrestrtr | FAJALOU: boot from the livecd and run the memcheck | 05:53 |

| Flannel | Nutzebahn: Oh, the bug report solution has a typo. Try this instead: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libsasl2* | 05:56 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: you want /connect [server] (/server [server] disconnects you from this one) | 05:57 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: then in your status window, you can use ctrl-x to switch between them (to specify which server to join channels on) | 05:57 |

| Flannel | bullgard4: But, as for the helpfulness of #firefox, I'm not sure. But google should help (and trying .db files in your firefox profile ought to be short too, there can't be too many) | 05:58 |

| azwillnj | can someone help me please | 06:02 |
| skylar_ | I haven't changed that much from default, just trying to get a dyndns up | 06:02 |
| jigp | fyrestrtr : like a dock icons that can be found in the bottom of the desktop...how to do it?i.e when you open mozilla it will display in the dock bottom... | 06:02 |
| jim_p | Kompuntu: kde or gnome? | 06:02 |
| iFvwm | bullgard4: an embeded irc client within opera. it's very simple to use. irssi is not so pleasure to use. | 06:02 |
| Kompuntu | gnome | 06:02 |
| Guest83520 | i need to know one thing how do i configure in a seperate build directory? | 06:02 |

| EvolutionXtinct | does anyone have experience getting adaptec performance up????? Currently transfers are taking forevero | 06:02 |
| vocx | EvolutionXtinct, what's adaptec? | 06:03 |
| azwillnj | anyone? | 06:03 |
| fyrestrtr | jigp: add the active window list panel dock item to the panel at the bottom. | 06:03 |
| EvolutionXtinct | adaptec is RAID hardware | 06:03 |
| * EvolutionXtinct sighs..... | 06:03 | |
| vocx | azwillnj, nobody is going to setup your vpn for you, no matter if you are in a hurry, not our fault | 06:03 |
| iFvwm | bullgard4: if you need perl script, then use irssi is good idea. | 06:03 |
| Nutzebahn | I am upgrading now, Flannel. | 06:03 |
| EvolutionXtinct | No one knows anything about performance right now :( | 06:03 |
| jim_p | Kompuntu: open up gconf-editor and go to | 06:03 |
| vocx | EvolutionXtinct, I just love when people think other people should know everything you are talking about | 06:04 |
| Nutzebahn | Thank you. :) | 06:04 |
| bullgard4 | iFvwm: I believe, it is much a matter of preference if one uses Opera or not. I like Irssi's small footprint. I dislike that there is no comprehensive User manual for Irssi. | 06:04 |
| Kompuntu | already there, what am i looking for? VM? | 06:04 |
| EvolutionXtinct | i would hopefully think atleast 1 person otuta 100 would know | 06:04 |
| jigp | fyrestrtr : yes but how to remove the duplicated session? when i open mozilla, i have 1 mozilla icon in dock and i have also 1 icon in the left bar... :( | 06:05 |

| EvolutionXtinct | its ok google doesn't know much people reference certain aacraid modules but no one talks about how to implement it | 06:07 |
| Guest83520 | glibc 2.7 when i run the configure script it say i need to configure in a seperate build directory | 06:07 |
| jim_p | Kompuntu: :| try unmounting and remounting it | 06:08 |
| vocx | Guest83520, why do you want to install glib 2.7? | 06:08 |
| Guest83520 | glibc 2.7 is required for fakeroot which is required for qt-x11 which after all that i can fianlly compile and install smplayer-0.6.2 | 06:10 |
| Flannel | Nutzebahn: Let me know if it works | 06:10 |
| iFvwm | smplayer need compiled? | 06:10 |
| Nutzebahn | I will. | 06:10 |
| Guest83520 | running ubuntu 5.10 so yes | 06:10 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: Theres plenty of information out there for irssi. #ubuntu-offtopic is generally a good place to ask | 06:11 |
| iFvwm | ... | 06:11 |
| Flannel | Guest83520: You need to upgrade. | 06:11 |
| Remorse_ | hi | 06:11 |
| Guest83520 | they only have .deb for ubuntu 7.04 | 06:11 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: OK. | 06:11 |
| Guest83520 | minimum requirements are too high | 06:11 |
| Flannel | Guest83520: 5.10 is no longer support (and hasn't been for over a year), you should upgrade to 6.06. and then consider upgrading straight from 6.06 to 8.04 | 06:11 |
| Guest83520 | my machine only has 266mhz processor and 128mb memory | 06:12 |
| iFvwm | Flannel: 6.06 can directlly upgrade to 8.04? | 06:12 |
| Flannel | iFvwm: LTS to LTS, yes. | 06:12 |
| Kompuntu | nope, same story, as soon as i mount it - its back on the desktop... | 06:12 |
| jim_p | iFvwm: i think its already packed to a .deb | 06:12 |
| Flannel | Guest83520: You should think about xubuntu then. But 6.06 should be fine with Ubuntu for your machine. | 06:12 |
| crd1b | Guest83520: so use Xubuntu; the system requirements of ubuntu have not changed dramatically between 5.10 and 8.04 | 06:12 |
| vocx | Guest83520, but you don't even need glib 2.7, you can use 2.6 or a previous version, right? | 06:13 |
| Flannel | crd1b: Between breezy and hardy, yes they have. | 06:13 |

| jim_p | Kompuntu: do your other partitions appear on the desktop? | 06:14 |
| Flannel | Guest83520: regardless of that package, you really do need to upgrade to 6.06. You've got a number of vulnerabilities that will never be patched | 06:14 |
| Kompuntu | nope, just this one...i found a second drive, plugged it in, created an ext3 partition, formatted and mounted | 06:14 |
| Flannel | Guest83520: 6.06 will give you about eight months to figure out what you're going to do from there. | 06:15 |

| BimmerBoy | I tried your command again. Tells me it is over writing the custom config. I think this may work - let's reboot | 07:02 |
| iFvwm | simplly delete xorg.conf. maybe more easy | 07:03 |
| BimmerBoy | Thanks all, I have to leave now. I will have to return later to wrap it up - i am late... | 07:03 |
| sfer3 | Problem solved - thanks iFvwm! | 07:05 |
| iFvwm | :D | 07:06 |
| BimmerBoy | Hey Jordan_U, your command worked 2nd time round! I typed lime my #$ss. Thanks I got it back. | 07:06 |
| BimmerBoy | lime =like | 07:07 |
| the_zemo | hello, is it ok to ask questions about ubuntu in here? | 07:07 |
| BimmerBoy | cheers | 07:07 |
| malcolm_ | hiya | 07:07 |
| Seveas | the_zemo, of course :) | 07:07 |
| J-n | !ask | the_zemo | 07:07 |
| ubottu | the_zemo: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 07:07 |
| malcolm_ | hey i got a question | 07:08 |
| the_zemo | ok, sounds good. I am downloading ubuntu 8.04 i386 and I want to know how is the flash player working on it? I used it before and was unable to view youtube videos in full screen. Is it still the same? | 07:09 |
| J-n | !ask > malcolm_ | 07:09 |
| malcolm_ | flash player works fine | 07:09 |
| ubottu | malcolm_, please see my private message | 07:09 |
| malcolm_ | yea i read your message | 07:09 |
| malcolm_ | ill try fit it in one line | 07:09 |
| Ububegin | I have a password for a sudo user... So i typed sudo -s.. But the console says " John is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." .. So shld i use someother sudo command | 07:10 |
| sfer3 | sudo su for the superuser? | 07:10 |
| rofl | no sudo su for the soup user | 07:10 |
| malcolm_ | i have installed lamp , in a directory /opt/ when i save a file it saves to /home/malcolm/ how do isave it to /opt/lamp/ | 07:10 |
| iFvwm | Ububegin: add yourself to admin group | 07:10 |
| haelen | Hi. How do I "unblacklist) something (i.e. my sound card) after blacklisting it? | 07:11 |
| cosmo | I am fairly new to ubuntu and clueless when it comes to setting up Samba so that the windows xp machines on my home network can share files back and forth, anyone have a guide or willing to walk me through it? I tried using GSAMBAD but I think I might have just made things worse | 07:11 |
| J-n | the_zemo you do have to install the non-free flash player and the plugin for firefox, if i recall.. but i can watch youtube in fullscreen np | 07:11 |
| pen | do you have any favorite to-do programs? | 07:11 |
| Ububegin | iFvwm: my colleague just told me to type "su" .. and it works... :D | 07:12 |
| pen | have anyone here know any to-do programs for ubuntu? | 07:12 |
| the_zemo | J-n: how do I know which is the non-free flash player? | 07:12 |
| iFvwm | Ububegin: of course, su also can do it | 07:13 |
| thenetduck | I was wondering if anyone here has experience with a ThinkPad? I get clicking from my hard drive is that normal? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | su won't work on Ubuntu, because there's no root password. Use sudo instead. | 07:13 |
| malcolm_ | has anyone beaten the pc in four in a row ? | 07:13 |
| J-n | !flash | the_zemo | 07:13 |
| ubottu | the_zemo: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 07:13 |
| Flannel | Ububegin: did you mess up your groups on that user/ | 07:13 |
| iFvwm | sudo su | 07:13 |
| J-n | that should talk ya through it pretty well :) | 07:13 |
| pen | have anyone here know any to-do programs for ubuntu? | 07:14 |
| the_zemo | thanks to all who commented. I really appreciate it. I find using the IRC better than the forums. | 07:14 |
| Flannel | iFvwm: No. | 07:14 |
| iFvwm | gtodo? pen | 07:14 |
| waan | Ububegin, you can use "sudo su" | 07:14 |
| iFvwm | Flannel: ? | 07:14 |
| Flannel | Use sudo -i instead. | 07:14 |
| Flannel | or sudo -s, depending on what you're looking for. | 07:15 |
| iFvwm | i like echo xxx|sudo -s. :D | 07:15 |
| Ububegin | waan: so many sudo commands.. so whats the difference. | 07:15 |
| pen | iFvwm, ? | 07:15 |
| pen | iFvwm, is that really for ubuntu? | 07:15 |
| Flannel | iFvwm: please don't give out bad information in this channel. | 07:15 |
| waan | Ububegin, sudo uses root, su just uses elevated priviliges | 07:15 |
| Flannel | waan: No, that's backwards. | 07:15 |
| thenetduck | can anyone help me understand what's going on with my hard drive? | 07:15 |
| iFvwm | pen: you can search software by excute aptitude search ~dtodo | 07:15 |
| waan | Flannel, Ububegin ohh my bad | 07:15 |
| pen | iFvwm, ~dtodo?? | 07:16 |
| pen | iFvwm, why ~d | 07:16 |
| iFvwm | Flannel: bad infor? | 07:16 |
| iFvwm | ~d is search in descript | 07:16 |
| pen | iFvwm, k thx | 07:17 |
| waan | Ububegin, the other way around | 07:17 |
| Ububegin | waan: huh... :S ... i think i just stick to su... | 07:18 |
| Flannel | Ububegin: no, stick with sudo. | 07:18 |
| malcolm_ | what does changing the home folder within managing users do ? | 07:18 |
| J-n | ububegin - better just use sudo it's safest and probally all you'll need. | 07:18 |
| waan | Ububegin, sudo is safer | 07:19 |
| chubs | it's not like su will kill him | 07:19 |
| thenetduck | is it normal for my hard drive to make clicking sounds? | 07:19 |
| sfer3 | malcom_: Change the user's home folder location | 07:19 |
| waan | chubs, it might.. | 07:19 |
| u-haul | thenetduck: I don't know about yours, but mine doesn't click normally. | 07:19 |
| Ububegin | Flannel: but sudo -s... alone .. doesnt let me enter the password | 07:19 |
| J-n | thenetduck depends... does it usually do it? ;) ... to me that sounds like a bad thing, but it could be that your drive is just noisy? | 07:19 |
| Flannel | chubs: this channel, and many other Ubuntu resources, assume you have the root account locked. We don't support enablingthe root account. | 07:19 |
| Flannel | Ububegin: What? | 07:19 |
| malcolm_ | how do i grant my self access to change files not within my home folder ? like /file/ | 07:20 |
| J-n | ububegin do "sudo -s thingyouwannado" | 07:20 |
| Flannel | No. sudo -s is like sudo -i | 07:20 |
| sfer3 | malcom_: sudo chmod 0777 (directory) | 07:20 |
| sfer3 | From terminal | 07:21 |
| Flannel | It gives you a shell. If oyu wnat to do a single command, sudo [command] | 07:21 |
| J-n | oh | 07:21 |
| Flannel | sfer3, malcolm_: no, DO NOT do that. | 07:21 |
| J-n | my mistake | 07:21 |
| sfer3 | Really? | 07:21 |
| chubs | don't forget your -r for recursiveness | 07:21 |
| sfer3 | I suppose all I do is pretty insecure... | 07:21 |
| Flannel | !stop | 07:21 |
| ubottu | NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. | 07:21 |
| chubs | and don't do that on / | 07:21 |
| iFvwm | :D | 07:21 |
| Flannel | er, dag nabbit | 07:21 |
| Flannel | wrong one. Anyway, *dont* chmod, use sudo. | 07:21 |
| sfer3 | But he said he wants to grant himself access? I thought he meant more than just a one-off. | 07:22 |
| Flannel | Sorry sorry, everyone whos wondering what that factoid is for, its just me being stupid. | 07:22 |
| Flannel | sfer3: that would be done through other means, and likely should *not* be done on a permanent basis to begin with. | 07:22 |
| sfer3 | Flannel: Just out of interest, what should I use instead? | 07:23 |
| thenetduck | J-n, well it's a new ThinkPad and I didn't think it was noisy, but I installed ubuntu and I and worried if it has something to do with improper heads being loaded/unloaded. See this bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 | 07:23 |
| iFvwm | maybe all newbie would use gui instead it. ：D | 07:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 59695 in dell "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 07:24 |
| chubs | It's still good to know. malcolm_ there are certain situations where chmod and chown (change owner) are appropriate, but in most cases shouldn't be used on files outside of your home directory | 07:24 |
| Flannel | sfer3: If it really is on a permanent basis (which it likely isn't), it depends on what you're doing, but you'd likely set the groupto somethign appropriate, and add yourself to said group. | 07:24 |
| iFvwm | install nautilus-sudo script. | 07:24 |
| malcolm_ | so whats the solution ? | 07:24 |
| Flannel | malcolm_: What file is it? Why do you need to access it? | 07:24 |
| chubs | malcolm_, sudo gedit file if it's a text file. or whatever program you need. It depends alot on where and what the file(s) is | 07:25 |
| malcolm_ | im doing web development and everytime i want to save a file i have to logon as root , copy to the directory and then reload ? | 07:25 |
| Flannel | malcolm_: so, this is inside /var/www | 07:25 |
| KinGBaKeRo | #urbanterror | 07:25 |
| malcolm_ | it gets a bit much after a while | 07:25 |
| KinGBaKeRo | yo! | 07:25 |
| chubs | malcolm_, you should probably set up a separate user for a webserver | 07:25 |
| malcolm_ | no i installam lamp in its own directory | 07:25 |
| Flannel | malcolm_: Why'd you do that? | 07:25 |
| kohv | Hi. I'm looking for help for creating an Intrepid boot USB stick, where should I go with that? | 07:25 |
| malcolm_ | didnt know any better | 07:25 |
| Flannel | chubs: www-data already is set up. | 07:25 |
| Ububegin | hi folks, i have used sftp to login to a remote server via the nautilus windows.. but i said save the password forever.. how can i logout from the sftp | 07:26 |
| chubs | malcolm_, you should probably use www-data :) | 07:26 |
| Flannel | kohv: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support | 07:26 |
| Flannel | chubs: No, that's still not the solution. | 07:26 |
| skiquel | hi, I'm trying to permanently change the time on my ubuntu server but it keeps changing on reset, is there a tutorial you can point me to? | 07:26 |
| iFvwm | malcolm_: you also can sudo ln -s ~/log/xxx /var/www/xxx | 07:26 |
| kohv | Thanks, Flannel :) | 07:26 |
| chubs | Flannel, and why not? | 07:26 |
| Flannel | chubs: use the www-data group, not the user. Wait and see. | 07:26 |
| iFvwm | malcolm_: add to www group | 07:27 |
| rkvirani | What is a good reliable dynamic dns service out there? | 07:27 |
| J-n | thenetduck did ya read all the way down on that page you sent me, it looks like maybe people have posted some solutions? | 07:27 |
| iFvwm | www-data group | 07:27 |
| chubs | just adding yourself to a group is strange for a webserver, but i guess it doesn't matter | 07:28 |
| malcolm_ | iFVwm: is thta as a user ? | 07:28 |
| iFvwm | www-data ← | 07:28 |
| Flannel | malcolm_: Alright, first, you'll want to use apache (and the rest of LAMP if you need it) from the repos. Then, your stuff will go in /var/www by default, which is a reasonable enough place for it. you'll want to add yourself to the www-data group (adduser username www-data) and then make it so /var/www is writable by group (chmod g+w /var/www) | 07:28 |
| rkvirani | any ideas? | 07:29 |
| Flannel | rkvirani: I've never had problems with dyndns | 07:29 |
| rkvirani | Flannel: cool thanks | 07:29 |
| Flannel | skiquel: What is it changing to? what timezone are you in? | 07:29 |
| Flannel | malcolm_: Also, if this is just for hosting stuff from you, you can make use of userdir, which allows stuff in ~/public_html to be visible at host/~username/ | 07:30 |
| iFvwm | someone type is so faster... | 07:30 |
| cheeky | hey does any one have a script to clear .. your current iptables settings ? | 07:30 |
| naughtykid001 | hi, can I have users which sharing the same home directory??? | 07:31 |
| skiquel | central, I think I may have found something, is it about setting up a symbolic link to /etc/localtime... and central | 07:31 |
| Flannel | naughtykid001: What are you hoping to accomplish? | 07:31 |
| sfer3 | naughtykid001: Probably, set it in users/groups - but you may have some sort of conflict with programs. Why do you need to do this? | 07:32 |
| thenetduck | J-n thanks | 07:32 |
| negativeB | how to open in wine drive c? | 07:32 |
| J-n | thenetduck np :) | 07:32 |
| sfer3 | negativeB: it should be in your home folder | 07:32 |
| Flannel | negativeB: ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 07:32 |
| sfer3 | Under .wine | 07:32 |
| negativeB | I mounted it on /mnt/drive_c | 07:32 |
| naughtykid001 | Flannel: I'm hoping to create users who shared one directory as their home directories instead of each one of them having their own. | 07:33 |
| negativeB | I can open in from /mnt/drive_c | 07:33 |
| negativeB | but not from wine menu | 07:33 |
| Ububegin | Anyone uses sftp:// here... i accidently clicked on save my password forever.. how can i reverse it now.. | 07:33 |
| negativeB | ~/.wine/drive_c/ acnnot | 07:33 |
| negativeB | ~/.wine/drive_c/ cannot open | 07:33 |
| Flannel | negativeB: right, but hoping to do what with that? | 07:33 |
| iFvwm | Ububegin: gftp is easy | 07:33 |
| naughtykid001 | sfer3: u mean /etc/group? what kind of conflict do you mean? | 07:33 |
| Flannel | negativeB: Why have everyone share one? | 07:34 |
| iFvwm | password...hehe | 07:34 |
| sfer3 | Flannel: Regarding that group permissions for /var/www, how do you make that group have write permission to that folder? It doesn't seem to be working for me the way you said.... | 07:35 |
| negativeB | ... now it's open ) | 07:35 |
| naughtykid001 | sfer3: actually I'm learning how to setting the access control for cvs users, which do not have access to the server itself. | 07:35 |
| negativeB | maybe it was hard drive bug | 07:35 |
| supersako | hey guys, anyone figure out how to make laptop-mode-tools and cpufreq scale the cpu differently when on AC or Battery?? | 07:35 |
| negativeB | but now its open ) thanks | 07:35 |
| Flannel | sfer3: You need to make sure you're in said group, which won't happen until you log in again (see "groups") but chmod g+w /foo/bar/ will do it. | 07:35 |
| zenhero | hi , how would i fix my flash on my web browsers if the flash content covers the drop menu and links in a website? | 07:36 |

| vegagt | hey guys... i'm a teacher at a middle school. I'm thinking about buying 4-5 Dell mini laptops for my classroom but I want to run a remote desktop kind of program where I can monitor and/or lock student computers on the fly.. like if I want them to watch the board and then go back to their computers. does an app for ubuntu exist? | 07:37 |
| Flannel | vegagt: You should check out edubuntu. | 07:38 |
| sfer3 | Yes, that does exist | 07:38 |
| sfer3 | vegagt: edubuntu has that all installed | 07:38 |
| sfer3 | Beat me to it :P | 07:38 |
| pen | anyone know why I can't delete tasks from tasque? | 07:38 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| vegagt | Flannel, edubuntu would probably work great but standard ubuntu comes preloaded on this laptop.. it's the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 | 07:39 |
| vegagt | i don't want to void the warranty :D | 07:39 |
| tsolox | anybody here heard of Nixstaller? | 07:39 |
| Flannel | vegagt: Edubuntu has been moved to an addon CD, so you can install edubuntu (or just pieces of it) overtop of any Ubuntu installation | 07:39 |
| J-n | !edubuntu | vegagt | 07:40 |
| Flannel | vegagt: Its basically just adding packages (and it wouldn't void the warranty anyway). | 07:40 |
| ubottu | vegagt: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org | 07:40 |
| vegagt | sweet.. what is the application called? can i administer the laptops remotely via a Macbook or would I also have to run ubuntu on a computer? | 07:40 |
| vegagt | i run PCLinuxOS at home (shoot me) so I'm somewhat familiar with Linux already | 07:40 |
| sfer3 | vegagt: Probably have to run Ubuntu on a computer, from the one I've used | 07:40 |
| iFvwm | tsolox: aptitude is good. | 07:40 |
| vegagt | I alrready run linux on my notebook, too.. I can just have that and my Macbook at my desk.. | 07:41 |
| sfer3 | Good solution | 07:41 |
| wooboy77 | HE I NEED HELP | 07:41 |
| sfer3 | !ask | wooboy77 | 07:42 |
| ubottu | wooboy77: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 07:42 |
| sfer3 | (Hey, I'm getting the hang of this!) | 07:42 |
| wooboy77 | when i minimize my window it dispapears... it doesn't show on the deskbar thats below | 07:42 |

| wooboy77 | right click what? | 07:43 |
| resin | does anyone know how to get s-video out working with fglrx? | 07:43 |
| iFvwm | taskbar | 07:43 |
| sfer3 | and then window list | 07:43 |
| iFvwm | s-video. | 07:43 |
| wooboy77 | ok got it | 07:43 |
| sfer3 | Then drag the window list to the area of the panel you want it to be on | 07:43 |
| resin | yes, s-video | 07:44 |
| iFvwm | dvi/hdmi i know. resin | 07:44 |
| iFvwm | but not s-video | 07:44 |
| schnoowork | does anyone know at all ? | 07:44 |
| resin | wouldnt is essentially be the same concept? | 07:44 |
| resin | it* | 07:44 |
| iFvwm | e, perhaps make mistaken. :D | 07:44 |
| sfer3 | schnoowork: They should, but 3g dongles are different things completely. | 07:45 |
| schnoowork | sfer3, yeah i am looking at how to actually get it working. Does it require manual mounting. If so how would i do that :\ | 07:46 |
| void_pointer | schnoowork look at /var/log/messages | 07:46 |
| sfer3 | Hmm, I'm not into that too much... you might want to search around the forums to see if someone has already gotten your particular 3g dongle to work under Ubuntu. | 07:46 |
| airtonix | schnoowork, i think your mistaking usb storage devices with usb communication devices | 07:47 |
| Kartagis | when will mysql server 5.1 be available in repos? | 07:47 |
| schnoowork | airtonix, im just following http://polishlinux.org/linux/ubuntu/three-uk-3g-modem-in-ubuntu-linux/ but he never says anything about mounting it | 07:47 |
| airtonix | schnoowork, the way the two types of devices are used in linux are different | 07:47 |
| jeettu | how can i block only chat in gmail using iptables | 07:47 |
| void_pointer | schnoowork its not something you mount | 07:47 |
| resin | does anyone know how to get s-video out working with fglrx? | 07:47 |
| airtonix | jeettu, gmail uses its chat over port 5222 by default | 07:48 |
| airtonix | jeettu, but you wont be able to block the chat that occurs from within the website of gmail | 07:49 |
| orifice | has anyone done any remastering of ISO LiveCD Images ? | 07:49 |
| orifice | I want to customize the boot menu but I can't find where the /boot/grub is stored | 07:49 |
| jeettu | ok how to block yahoo messanger from pidgin | 07:49 |
| Ububegin | every linux system, has a superuser right.. Is he "su"... or something else | 07:49 |
| void_pointer | schnoowork so check if the modem has been detected by looking at /var/log/messages, then use whatever program to communicate with the modem ... wvdial or one of the GUI ppp ones | 07:49 |
| xtrememertx | go to manage account on pidgin | 07:50 |
| airtonix | Ububegin, !sudo | 07:50 |

| schnoowork | and i tried doing sudo wvdialconf and it doesnt seem to find it | 07:51 |
| airtonix | jeettu, easiest way is to install the iptables gui: firestarter | 07:51 |
| airtonix | jeettu, work out which ports your offending chats is using and prevent traffic on those ports | 07:51 |
| orifice | nm | 07:51 |
| orifice | I found it! | 07:51 |
| wooboy77 | why cant i connect a network on my laptop? | 07:51 |

| schnoowork | yeah i am trying that aswell, and in setup that cant find my modem either lol | 07:52 |
| void_pointer | wooboy77 because you are woefully inadequate? | 07:52 |
| Ardha | k | 07:52 |
| void_pointer | schnoowork you have installed wvdial, right? | 07:53 |

| Kelderkeuken | OrangeKyo: stretch icon | 08:29 |
| Jordan_U | kevin_: What chatting program? ( There is likely a .deb available ) | 08:29 |
| jim_p | OrangeKyo: open up a nautilus window and go to Edit > preferences. There on the 1st tab i think is the zooming llevel for the icons | 08:30 |
| OrangeKyo | Kelderkeuken: yea but thats just for one icon. i want it to be universal. my icons should not be this big for the resolution i have | 08:30 |
| b4b3 | why i can't hear sound in my ubuntu...? | 08:30 |
| kevin_ | Jordan_U, you were right -- a readme with install instructions were included -- i was just so used to ubuntu automating everything as it has thus far. | 08:30 |

| Hosstest | ?? | 08:30 |
| kevin_ | Jordan_U, thanks for the hlp. | 08:30 |
| chubs | b4b3, is your speaker muted? | 08:30 |
| jim_p | b4b3: there are loads of reasons for it | 08:30 |
| jim_p | Hosstest: if the kernel has raid drivers built in, then yes | 08:31 |
| kevin_ | Jordan_U, the chatting program is called SecondLife | 08:31 |
| b4b3 | in win normal | 08:31 |
| u-haul | b4b3: is your computer on? | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | kevin_: You should try to find a .deb, that way it will stay automatically updated and tracked by the package manager | 08:31 |
| b4b3 | sure | 08:31 |
| kevin_ | Jordan_U, as it turns out -- the program is entirely out of box -- in that no install is required. | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | kevin_: I am pretty sure there is a .deb for second life available, and I wouldn't call it a chatting program :) | 08:32 |
| jim_p | Hosstest: *if the kernel has the drivers for YOUR raid | 08:32 |
| steven | can anyone tell me how I can tell hellanzb to download sfv files as well as par2s? It doesn't seem to want to do that. | 08:32 |
| J-n | Kevin_ actually it was I who suggested the readme file, but what jordan_u is saying is correct | 08:32 |
| kevin_ | Jordan_U, well i think WoW is a chatting program -- so i guess its just a matter of perspective. | 08:32 |

| prodigel | chubs, I don't know what's causing problems. The idea is to connect by ssl (https), accept some certificate, and fill in user and password. In practice none of this happends | 08:39 |

| g0g0r1n | is there any way how to run vmware-server on hardy ? | 10:01 |
| koshar1 | miccantino the only real problem is that updates tend to come fast and furious, especialy if you havnt logged on for a few days | 10:01 |
| miccantino | thanks guys | 10:01 |
| miccantino | kosharl: there will be updates with the alpha too? | 10:02 |

| erUSUL | MaxJay: no; just do what i asked you to do | 10:12 |
| sfer3 | I was just wondering, because if you put it in there before installing it should have recognized it and configure it, but don't worry about that. | 10:12 |
| koshar1 | MaxJay you shouldnt have to reinstall, modprobe will generally do the trick, | 10:13 |

| Pizarro | notwist, yes, I get the same messasge trying to check it, I am burning another new one | 10:30 |

| nandemonai | (I am testing under vmware though but I'm talking about my hardy desktop) | 10:36 |
| mgolisch | thats why | 10:36 |
| Pizarro | notwist, I am asking because I spent 2 days trying to install this without success, and it is not the first time I installa Linux | 10:36 |
| nandemonai | Ohh right. | 10:36 |
| notwist | Pizarro: one great tip is to install the package called "ebox", that helped me a lot. It's a web interface that lets you configure the server with network sharing and stuff | 10:36 |
| ganesh | notwist: dont remember...how can i check which is the last installed package? | 10:36 |

| notwist | ActionParsnip: I heard webmin was insecure | 10:37 |
| erUSUL | !webmin | notwist | 10:37 |
| ubottu | notwist: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 10:37 |
| ganesh | notwist: how do i do that? | 10:37 |
| notwist | erUSUL: yeah, what about it? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | notwist: not sure, i just know of it. I just use ssh :) | 10:38 |
| Pizarro | notwist, ok a new CD ready!, I am going to tray again the isntallation | 10:38 |
| notwist | ganesh: if you go into a command prompt like shift+F1 or something, you can apt-get remove the gnome-desktop package and then install it again | 10:38 |
| notwist | Pizarro: you should use SSH for text based remote admin and ebox for the network config (or just iptables if you're good at it, which im not) | 10:38 |
| notwist | ActionParsnip: ebox saved my day, i tried to get my computer up as a router for an entire day and with ebox it just worked | 10:39 |

| freaky[t] | ah now it seems like i got a huge lag | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ganesh: try tab completing the package name | 10:42 |

| notwist | Pizarro: the network problem is probably driver related or a bad configuration | 10:54 |
| Pizarro | notwist, well, I know, I spent one day yesterday checking everyhitnkg in my network confuguration and the PC cwired duirectly to my router, was unable to ping it, even weveeryhitng was ok from ifconfig, etc.. | 10:54 |
| notwist | Pizarro: well it still doesnt have anything to do with either the CD or the CD-ROM | 10:55 |
| Pizarro | notwist, in fact I was all the morning yesterday here in this channel trying to solve that issue and the conclussion was that the Via chip for network is not compatible with Ubuntu server | 10:55 |
| Pizarro | notwist, I am not saying it has something to do with the cd, what I try to say is that the CD is not the issue, because that's the proof | 10:56 |

| amanulla | ok | 13:57 |

| sipior | trupheenix: depends. do all mallocs() fail? what version of gcc are you running on each linux installation? | 16:01 |
| Iris | I mean I can't boot | 16:01 |
| trupheenix | sipior: i think i'm using the default 3.3.2 that comes with hardy. it doesn't fail on all mallocs. but on certain mallocs it fails while those run perfectly under RHEL. | 16:02 |
| Wolf23 | zaggynl: just give me the steps of how can i burn 5 episodes in 1 dvd player? | 16:02 |
| Iris | so now I have disk1 and disk2 the files that I want is inside disk1 | 16:02 |

| PatrickMello | thx jim_p.. i have a problem with the shutdown or reboot process in ubuntu 7.4 release... i put few scripts to startup in rc2.d.. but after this, the reboot process stay very slow... | 16:03 |
| Iris | please | 16:03 |
| PatrickMello | around 15 minutes.. | 16:03 |
| sipior | trupheenix: actually, i believe 4.1.3 is the default on Hardy. this may be a version 4/version 3 discrepancy. you haven't mentioned the version of the compiler you use on RHEL. | 16:03 |
| MessWithTheBest- | hi guys. I have a problem with the Disk Mounter app. It displays that i have a floppy drive, but i don't! I checked if the floppy is enabled in the BIOS but i found that i disabled. So why it shows that there is a floppy drive to mount??? When i try to mount it, it says it can't! | 16:04 |
| Iris | I really need help | 16:04 |
| trupheenix | lemme chk | 16:04 |
| trupheenix | sipior: it's 4.4.2 | 16:04 |
| user__ | Hi, I have a small gfx problem, but the real problem is that I don't know how to name it =) (So kinda hard to google for it) | 16:04 |
| trupheenix | even on RHEL | 16:04 |

| SkyLeach | hey all. I'm curious if any of you know the proper package names for php-mysql and php-pgsql now. | 16:05 |
| trupheenix | sipior: 4:4.2.3 sorry | 16:05 |
| SkyLeach | most of the guides mention php4-mysql / php4-pgsql but when I try that I get the following: | 16:05 |
| Iris | zoed: not I want to take my files to an external hard drive and format the hd. | 16:05 |
| user__ | Whenever I start X and enter gdm I first get a wierd "plasma" like effect for a few seconds around the edges of the screen, growing inwards, what is this called? | 16:05 |
| sipior | trupheenix: well friend, time to break out the debugger :-) | 16:06 |
| SkyLeach | "... has no installation candidate" | 16:06 |
| genius | Ubuntu does not see FireWire device. ieee1394 sbp2 -are loaded. | 16:06 |
| user__ | (before entering the right resolution n screen mode) | 16:06 |
| genius | How to? | 16:06 |
| Iris | zoed:like I can see all the files but I can copy it. | 16:06 |
| zoed | Iris: plug in your external drive, then copy everything to that drive, via the UI. | 16:06 |
| jim_p | user__: it may be something hardware related | 16:06 |
| trupheenix | sipior: it works well inside the debugger | 16:06 |
| Iris | zoed:is already plugged but I can't do it, that's the problem. | 16:07 |
| Pici | SkyLeach: php5-mysql | 16:07 |
| jim_p | genius: is your device listed in lspci? | 16:07 |
| trupheenix | sipior: it's a multi process client server app. | 16:07 |
| Pici | SkyLeach: php4-mysql is only available on Dapper | 16:07 |
| zoed | Iris: ok, try to open nautilus as root: press ALT-F2 and enter "gksudo nautilus /". Then, in a normal window, open a folder on your drive and copy the files from the specially opened window to your drive. | 16:07 |
| SkyLeach | Pici I have php5 installed but my app is using php4 | 16:07 |
| SkyLeach | and I already have those mods for php5 installed | 16:07 |
| etotheipi | When I run powertop, it shows thousands of interrupts per second from acpi; is there any way I can stop this, or see the cause of the interrupts? | 16:07 |
| * SkyLeach decides to try upgrading the app | 16:08 | |
| SkyLeach | ya ever notice how even the most trivialthings wind up getting too effing complicated :p | 16:08 |
| Iris | zoed:I think I can't do that I'm running a live cd | 16:08 |
| genius | jim_p: i am not sure. can't see any ieee in lspci | 16:08 |
| zoed | Iris: yes, you can. | 16:09 |
| etotheipi | Never mind. Apparently a reboot was the solution (?!) | 16:09 |
| sipior | trupheenix: you might have better luck in a dedicated programming channel, i think. | 16:09 |
| jim_p | genius: paste the output in pastebin.com | 16:09 |

| Pici | !checkinstall | lorddp | 16:39 |
| ubottu | lorddp: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 16:39 |

| Miles_Lane | Hello. I have a SATA drive that I had removed my extended partition from, and then resized my /dev/sda1 WinXP partition to use the whole drive. (I was planning to install WUBI 8.04.1 and then upgrade it to 8.10). Anyhow, my Grub bootloader no longer boots, so I am unable to get into WinXP and run fixmbr. Also, the WinXP Rescue CD doesn't see my drive any longer. I have tried loading WDC... | 17:15 |
| Miles_Lane | ...drivers for the drive, but that has not worked. Furthermore, I have been unable to reinstall Grub into /dev/sda. I guess this is due to not having a /boot/grub directory on the drive any longer? The SATA drive is seen by the SATA controller, but not by the BIOS. I think this is okay, though. Not sure. | 17:15 |
| keph_ | foorm: sorry, as I said, I have no clue what ultimately made my ndis driver work, so now that I see it SHOULD work, I can only advise one of two things: reboot and check that the drivers you use with ndis are for 32-bit win xp/2k | 17:16 |

| genius | wizardslovak: so second suggestion - delete suse and install ubuntu :) i've come from SuSe and can say that Ubuntu is the best. i hate Yast | 17:25 |
| jordan | so in your opinion suse better or ubuntu? | 17:25 |
| erUSUL | !ot | jordan | 17:25 |
| ubottu | jordan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jordan Please dont do polls in here | 17:26 |
| wizardslovak | geniussuse "help" on chat honestly sucks,i like ubuntu comunity | 17:26 |
| jordan | o.0 | 17:26 |
| genius | wizardslovak: Ubuntu has taken from debian the best - it's package management. I can't imagine that i will use anything then Ubuntu or Debian | 17:26 |
| wizardslovak | so far i am trying ubuntu and kubuntu in VB | 17:26 |
| Miles_Lane | wizardslovak: I second genius sentiments. Yast2 is horrible, imho. Also, I have yet to see a RPM manager that performs anything nearly as well as apt. | 17:26 |
| elexodus | Need help with Samba. 8.04 & Vista won't play nice. | 17:27 |
| elexodus | Anybody? | 17:27 |
| Miles_Lane | apt seems to be much more graceful and flexible in handling conflicts or missing files. | 17:28 |

| wizardslovak | let me try it for some time then ill decide,btw suse was my first linux experience but 70% i am about to swith to ubuntu ;0;0 | 17:29 |
| elexodus | magnetron: I had asked, but was surprised to see little activity at the moment. Hence, I called out "anyone?"... | 17:30 |
| magnetron | elexodus, that's not a question. and if you are wondering if anyone uses samba, the answer is yes. | 17:30 |
| wizardslovak | genius: maybe u can help me, i cant share folder btw suse and ubuntu(quest) | 17:31 |
| elexodus | magnetron: Yes, I am aware people use Samba. What I need is some help tweeking the configuration in Samba to allow my Vista box to map a drive from my Ubuntu box. I am coming off of a fresh install on each. Can yopu help? | 17:31 |
| Miles_Lane | Jack_Sparrow: When I run "fdisk -l", it shows /dev/sda1 with the NTFS partition on it. | 17:31 |
| wizardslovak | can i use samba in quest os in VB? | 17:31 |
| magnetron | elexodus, i don't know, since you haven't told us what's the problem yet | 17:31 |

| mohammad | hi | 17:32 |

| === mohammad is now known as Guest25378 | ||
| wizardslovak | genius: where to get it? | 17:33 |
| Miles_Lane | Jack_Sparrow: I suppose I could use gparted to shrink the NTFS partition a little, create a small extended and logical partition and then install ubuntu to that. Then I might be able to get the Grub working, boot WinXP and then run fixmbr. | 17:33 |
| jordan | i wanna ask why i open www.meebo.com in firefox | 17:33 |
| elexodus | magnetron: The problem is simple: I intalled Samba, set up the user, confirmed a ping with the Vista box, and turned off win dows defender/firewall, yet I still can't get the two machines to exchange information, much less recognise eachother aside from a ping. | 17:33 |
| jordan | most of the time firefox will auto shut down | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Miles_Lane see if the livecd will boot the hd install | 17:33 |

| elexodus | magnetron: as far as I can tell. Vista auto configured the network, so who knows?

| Fused | Alright, guys. Ziroday helped me fix a problem I was having the other day with my video being scrambled/encrypted. Now that I have that issue fixed, the sound coming from the system to my surround sound is staticy. | 17:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wizardslovak see the build-essentials lionk above | 17:40 |
| nkei0 | STRIFEMILO: If it's empty you could extract the iso to the external hard-drive. If it isn't empty I wouldn't attempt it, I had problems booting ubuntu from a usb stick when I had other stuff on there. | 17:41 |
| Fused | It's not like radio static. It's only gets staticy when there's any type of voice talking. | 17:41 |
| genius | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential | 17:41 |
| STRIFEMILO | lolyeah thats what i was weary of since i have like 440gib on there atm | 17:42 |
| ushimitsudoki | Fused: is the static independent of the source and the player? I ask because certain radio streams are "static-y" for me in Exaile but not in Rhythmbox for example | 17:42 |
| nkei0 | STRIFEMILO: What kind of error exactly does it give you when you try to copy the iso? | 17:42 |
| elexodus | hreno: System>Preferences>Sessions click "+add" and type "Compiz Fusion" (Name:) and "fusion-icon" (Command:). You can also do this by going to [System] -> [Preferences] -> [Sessions] -> [Startup Programs] | 17:44 |
| Fused | ushimitsudoki: It's not just one program specific, or one website specific. | 17:44 |
| magnetron | elexodus, i need you to answer some questions: what kind of troubleshooting did you do at the ubuntu box. did you edit the smb.conf or any other files? if you browse the network on the vista machine, do you see the ubuntu machine? | 17:44 |

| smelian | is there a way to connect bluetooth headset in ubuntu so i can hear sound and use sky by it ? | 17:46 |
| wolfwalker | It will only give me ridiculously small resolution options. | 17:46 |

| Fused | ushimitsudoki: No, I haven't. | 17:46 |
| STRIFEMILO | hmm so do you recommend a redownload to see if that's case if so can you suggest any other links apart from the ubuntu studio site ? | 17:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | Fused: well that is where i would start | 17:47 |

| nkei0 | STRIFEMILO: Yeah, that's right. | 17:51 |
| STRIFEMILO | nkei0: so im rather stumped now as to whats going wrong with it :S it isn't anything to do with the fact that im trying to burn it through windows is it? | 17:52 |
| nkei0 | STRIFEMILO: Did you try the canonical release the first time? | 17:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | Fused: if it were me i would pick on program that can handle different audiosinks (like vlc) and try alsa/oss/pulse/jack (you will have to toggle these in system settings somewhere to - I forget). If one or more of those audio back-ends does NOT produce the static (and you know this is going to happen because speaker-test had no static), then it probably means your current audio-backend needs tweaking | 17:52 |
| burt | Hi, is there supposed to be a directory "/sbin" | 17:52 |
| STRIFEMILO | nkei0: yeah thats the one i downloaded the first time and this time | 17:52 |

| _Zeus_ | remoteCTRL: rename? | 18:08 |
| wolfwalker | Know-nothing end user here: How do you change the screen resolution to a manual setting? The presets Ubuntu booted with are too big. | 18:08 |
| yaddle | If I want to be able to extract the contents of an RPM in ubuntu, what package would I need to install? | 18:09 |
| Slart | justin_: well.. I don't see anything obvious.. you seem to get the frequencies and such from the screen directly (if you didn't you'd have several resolution lines in there) so I guess that ought to be correct.. sorry.. that's about all I can say | 18:09 |
| remoteCTRL | _Zeus_: i have 164 .rar files in there with a german ascii sign that causes problems so i want to change the name in something that the other application can read | 18:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yaddle DOnt use rpm's | 18:09 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: open a terminal and write "ping 123.123.123.123" .. you'll have to change 123.123.123.123 to whatever ip number you use | 18:09 |
| _Zeus_ | remoteCTRL: ls the folder, use tr to strip out the character, then rename it | 18:09 |
| prap19_ | 18:09 | |
| yaddle | Jack_Sparrow: I don't want to "use" rpms I just want to extract the contents of an RPM on to my drive in ubuntu... | 18:10 |
| justin_ | okay thx Slart | 18:10 |
| _Zeus_ | ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'badcharacter' 'newcharacter'`; mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done | 18:10 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, how do I find out what my ip address is? I have DHCP. | 18:10 |
| remoteCTRL | _Zeus_: can you put that a little more specific please? | 18:10 |
| _Zeus_ | ^^ | 18:10 |
| dasginganinja | Hi, my friend is having a problem getting his screen size to be set right. He installed the nvidia restricted module driver in ubunntu 8.04. When I went into the nvidia x settings it showed his screen as having a maximum of 640x480 resolution when I know it in fact supports more. I opened his xorg.conf and it listed one monitor in there that didn't have any resolutions or any kind of information about it. How can I help my friend out? | 18:10 |
| rob__ | duncan-nz you can go to ipchicken.com | 18:10 |
| yaddle | Jack_Sparrow: Just got it anyhow. The "alien" package took care of me. Thx | 18:10 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: type "ifconfig" in a terminal | 18:10 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: there are other ways too.. but that is the easiest if you ask me | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yaddle ask in a redhat based distro channel how you extract an RPM which is different than using Alien to install it.. | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yaddle Alien is a VERYBGAD idea | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yaddle Alien is a VERY BAD idea | 18:11 |
| wolfwalker | !alien | 18:11 |
| Slart | rob__: I'm guessing he has some kind of internal ip.. we're not interested in the external one (assuming there's a router somewhere) | 18:11 |
| 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) | 18:11 |
| Slart | !alien | 18:11 |
| Dabbu | !widget | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about widget | 18:11 |
| _Zeus_ | remoteCTRL: that worked? | 18:11 |
| rob__ | I installed mac4lin RC 1.0 and I want to change the close/minimize/maximize buttons to the right again. How do I do this? | 18:12 |
| joakim | alright, anyone know a good joystick/gamepad-calibrationtool? | 18:12 |
| remoteCTRL | _Zeus_: i am not yet quite sure what exactly to do | 18:12 |
| _Zeus_ | i sent you a script | 18:12 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, how do I stop it again...? | 18:12 |
| remoteCTRL | _Zeus_: something like ls | tr -d ö? | 18:12 |
| Slart | joakim: you've already run "apt-cache search joystick".. or? | 18:13 |
| _Zeus_ | ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'badcharacter' 'newcharacter'`; mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done | 18:13 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: ctrl+c | 18:13 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, and isn't it just pinging itself? | 18:13 |
| joakim | I have not, will do | 18:13 |
| remoteCTRL | _Zeus_: that looks nice, thanks | 18:13 |
| _Zeus_ | ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'ö' 'o'`; mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done | 18:13 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: each computer has a different ip number.. so you can ping yourself, the other computer, googles computer or whatever | 18:13 |
| _Zeus_ | that will move all the weird characters to "o" | 18:13 |
| faemir | It seems that my up and down keys don't work in bash either. | 18:13 |
| _Zeus_ | you can change it if you wait | 18:13 |
| _Zeus_ | *want | 18:13 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, it consistently gets something. I took the first value of inet addr:192.168.10.241 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 18:14 |
| dasginganinja | Hi, my friend is having a problem getting his screen size to be set right. He installed the nvidia restricted module driver in ubunntu 8.04.

I opened his xorg.conf and it listed one monitor in there that didn't have any resolutions or any kind of information about it. How can I help my friend | 18:14 |
| dasginganinja | out? The screen resolution was 640x480 as well when I installed ubuntu so maybe there is a problem somewhere in it detecting the screen resolution. I know the 7600 can support highher than that. | 18:14 |
| _Zeus_ | remoteCTRL: hang on, that | 18:14 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: that would mean your ip is 192.168.10.241 | 18:14 |
| joakim | thanks slart! | 18:14 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: do that on the other computer too.. you should get a different number | 18:14 |
| benjick | dasginganinja: Tried nvidias drivers from the website? | 18:14 |
| Slart | joakim: you're welcome | 18:14 |
| _Zeus_ | ls | while read FILE; do NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | tr 'ö' 'o'`; [ "$FILE" = "$NEWFILE" ] || mv "$FILE" "$NEWFILE"; done | 18:15 |
| remoteCTRL | _Zeus_: that worked like charms thaks a lot man! | 18:15 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, OK, I'll go to the other machine and write the number down... | 18:15 |
| eightyeight | so, if a package isn't signed, apt is giving me warnings about the package not being signed. aren't all packages in the repos signed? | 18:15 |
| dasginganinja | benjick: no i haven't | 18:15 |
| NetEcho | rob__ if you pull up the old 0.3/ 0.4 documentation it has some steps for changing the order and location of the buttons | 18:15 |
| dfgas | anyone here use gizmo on 64bit? | 18:15 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: it will probably just differ in the last number | 18:15 |
| dasginganinja | benjick: I'm trying to get a bunch of suggestions to try for when I head over to his house later | 18:15 |
| Slart | eightyeight: afaik they should all be signed.. which package is it? | 18:15 |
| kalapoika | Hello, little ot: I have a networkhdd and I want my friend to access it. How can I get the ip-address for the hdd ? | 18:15 |
| rob__ | netecho thanks, ill look in that | 18:15 |
| NetEcho | no prob | 18:15 |
| eightyeight | Slart: gajim 1.1 for amd64 | 18:16 |
| NetEcho | rob__ also keep an eye for the stable release of 1.0 it should be out shortly | 18:16 |

| Slart | eightyeight: are you sure you haven't added another repository besides the official ones? | 18:16 |
| eightyeight | Slart: also got it on a few other packages, such as 'debsig-verify' | 18:17 |
| argento | how can i make ubuntu boot faster, it takes like 1 min to do it | 18:17 |
| eightyeight | Slart: i'm using apt-mirror to mirror 'mirrors.kernel.org'. i'm only mirroring the 4 repos: main, restricted, universe and multiverse | 18:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | argento Remove splash from the grub command line | 18:17 |
| Slart | argento: there are some tricks to try.. google for +ubuntu +tweak +boot or something.. you should get lots of hits | 18:18 |
| kschultz | argento get the package bootchart | 18:18 |
| eightyeight | Slart: would that cause the problem? i wouldn't think so, as it's just grabbing the debs from the mirror, and downloading them locally | 18:18 |
| Slart | argento: I tried doing it for a while.. but I never got below ~40s so I gave up | 18:18 |
| kschultz | the output will show you what its hanging on, it shouldn't take 1 minute | 18:18 |
| armornick | hey guys, how good is usb hard drive support under ubuntu? | 18:18 |

| armornick | I heard the my book drives of western digital have a prop file system, so I had my doubts | 18:19 |
| Scunizi | armornick: mostly great | 18:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | armornick the biggest problem with usb drives are unclean mounts that get locked by windows code on fat and ntfs drives | 18:19 |
| Slart | argento: some things "time out".. such as asking for a ipv6 ip-number from a dhcp server.. if you don't use ipv6 in your network it will have to wait up to ~20 secs before it gives up.. there might be other such things that it tries to do when booting | 18:20 |
| armornick | Jack_Sparrow, I don't think I understand what you mean. How can usb drives get locked by windows? | 18:20 |

| Jack_Sparrow | armornick the do all of the time and either need to get booted and unmounted in windows or forced under linux | 18:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | faemir there is a tab complete package for it, I just dont know the name | 18:22 |
| Fenix|work | everytime I use mdcfg to delete it, it tells me it's in use | 18:22 |

| foorm | hi, i cant get my bt home hub network to work, my ethernet controller is recognised in the lshw -C network command and i can connect to other networks, does anybody have any ideas? | 18:23 |
| SebNaitsabes | so, kubuntu was installed first, and then KDE4, but GDM does not have the entry for Kubuntu how to add it? | 18:23 |
| nabil | it keeps complaining about invalud signatures | 18:23 |
| Slart | argento: bah.. I can't explain it easily.. sorry | 18:23 |
| wolfwalker | Basic end-user here. lspci says I have an nvidia RIVA TNT2 video card. X won't let me change screen resolution to anything more than 800X600. Suggestions? | 18:24 |
| Arty_Facts | Does anybody know where I can find the getlib deb file? | 18:24 |
| nabil | i have searched the internet, many complains, but coudn't find the right solution.. | 18:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | wolfwalker: yes I have suggestions | 18:24 |
| argento | Slart, i want to speedup boot... i dont get why ipv6 would help me | 18:24 |
| siskov | hey guys | 18:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | wolfwalker: you got the Nivida drivers from Ubuntu repo yes? from apt-get or syanpatic | 18:24 |
| siskov | what IRC clients are you using? | 18:24 |
| wolfwalker | Yes. The restricted driver is running | 18:24 |
| wolfwalker | And I got nvidia-settings. | 18:25 |
| Slart | argento: ipv6 won't help you.. but disabling it might | 18:25 |
| wolfwalker | After installing, tried to run nvidia-settings as sudo. Won't run. | 18:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | wolfwalker: I have been told that these drivers are broken if you get them from Ubuntu, I was trying to help someone with this last night in fact. you will have to download the offical driver from the Nivida website and install that | 18:25 |
| wolfwalker | Says the nvidia driver is not in use, even though it most certainly is. | 18:25 |
| argento | Slart, i dont get still | 18:25 |
| wolfwalker | They have official drivers for Ubuntu? | 18:25 |
| wolfwalker | Neato | 18:25 |
| kitche | wolfwalker: their drivers are distro non-specific | 18:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | wolfwalker: of course they have offical driers for Linux, get from Nivida website yeah | 18:26 |
| army711 | i want to know if it's possible to copy a USB pen memory into my pc when i connect it ... but in background... | 18:26 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, that worked. Again I get a steady reply. What now. | 18:27 |
| skylar | for sound, what package would contain -> gnome-volume-control | 18:27 |
| skylar | ? | 18:27 |
| nabil | Any one knows how to fix the invalid signature problem in apt-get? | 18:27 |
| wolfwalker | SebNaitsabes, this what I need? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_71.86.06.html | 18:28 |
| nabil | please | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | so Ubuntu was installed first on a computer from ISO, then I installed kubuntu and KDE4, but GDM does not have the entry for Kubuntu how to add it? | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | wolfwalker: if you think that's for your driver I guess so | 18:28 |
| Scunizi | SebNaitsabes: on the login screen "change sessions" to kde and you' | 18:28 |
| Scunizi | *you'll be there. | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scrunizi: yes I know normalley it updates the session changer, but this time it didn't | 18:29 |
| army711 | i want to know if it's possible to copy a USB pen memory into my pc when i connect it ... but in background... someone can help me? | 18:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scrunizi: hence the whole manualley adding the entry thing | 18:29 |
| jesselucas | I'm trying to figure out how the best solution for remote svn backups using two ubuntu servers. Anyone have any suggestions or know any tutorials? | 18:29 |
| Scunizi | SebNaitsabes: arg.. which I had the answer for that.. sorry don't | 18:29 |
| Blaze_Boy | Problem : i have a small problem with firefox .... the Arabic fonts are rendered in separated characters.... arabic characters must be connected not separated .... anyone can tell me what's wrong , and what can i do? | 18:29 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: ok.. so now you know those two computer can talk to each other | 18:30 |
| Bladesman | Hello. My ISP recently switched over to gmail. Is anyone using getmail or fetchmail to access imap.gmail.com and have any pointers? I'm blind and don't have the tools to access mail thru the web. | 18:30 |
| nabil | for sync, use unison | 18:30 |
| dasginganinja | will grub-gfxboot allow me to boot at a higher resolution? My hdtv can support 1024x768 at the lowest and I know grub is set to 640x480 IIRC | 18:30 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: what was it you wanted to do again? | 18:30 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, remote desktop. | 18:30 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: are you using some special program? vnc? | 18:30 |
| nabil | jesselucas: use unison.. its the best one.. | 18:30 |
| argento | whats hal necessary for? | 18:31 |
| duncan-nz | I'm using the built in bits. So yes vnc I think, via vinagre. | 18:31 |
| === zibri_ is now known as zibir | ||
| === zibir is now known as zibri | ||
| duncan-nz | Slart, I'm using the built in bits. So yes vnc I think, via vinagre. | 18:31 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: ok, so you enable remote desktop on one machine and on the other you run the client, right? | 18:32 |
| jesselucas | nabil: Thanks! Just for backups or actually in place of svn? | 18:32 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: and when you start the client and click connect you write the ip-number of the other computer in the box that says "host" | 18:32 |
| dasginganinja | Does GRUB-GFXBOOT send a higher resolution to the monitor? | 18:33 |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | hi, how can I make the 'Documents' directory to point to another directory? | 18:33 |
| nabil | is use it for sync, | 18:33 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, but I thought it could look at the local network and give me the computer names which are available? I'll try typing it in directly in a moment, got to get the washing before the rain... | 18:33 |
| nabil | since there are two places where the files are stored, it also serves as backup | 18:33 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: nah.. I don't think it can do that.. (I'm not sure though.. ) | 18:34 |
| nabil | i am sorry, what you mean by svn? | 18:34 |
| rob__ | nabil he means subversion | 18:34 |
| jesselucas | nabil: yeah subversion, sorry about that | 18:34 |
| magnetron | gonzaloaf_laptop, the "Documents" entry is just a bookmark in Nautilus. just remove the bookmark using the nautilus file browser, then add a new one to the desired folder | 18:34 |
| nabil | hum, i am not sure about subversion | 18:35 |
| rob__ | im not a genius about it, I just know how to download from it | 18:35 |
| duncan-nz | Slart, I was at a nerd week and we could do that, but maybe it requires something different of the network. | 18:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | !puregnome > SebNaitsabes | 18:35 |
| ubottu | SebNaitsabes, please see my private message | 18:35 |
| rob__ | but, open the terminal and type in sudo apt-get install subversion | 18:35 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: you could setup a server that does it.. dhcp+dns .. but I'm assuming you haven't set that up | 18:36 |
| genius | who called me? | 18:36 |
| rob__ | and then when ever you see a link with a svn prefix you can copy it and paste it in the terminal and it should download and install. I tihnk its just another kind of protocol | 18:36 |
| jesselucas | well, if unison is easy I'll just use both. subversion for the dev people to use and unison to sync the two servers | 18:36 |
| m1oluf | now i've tried to change those files with no success | 18:36 |
| jesselucas | I just need an easy way to back up the subversion repository. | 18:36 |

| windmill | dreamnid_, I can play sound through pulse audio on the remote machine (where I run paplay on the remote machine) but not from one machine to another | 18:42 |
| windmill | dreamnid, on the client machine or the server machine? | 18:43 |
| skinnymg1-laptop | hey whats up guys | 18:43 |
| dreamnid | windmill: on the server for starts | 18:43 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: well.. one that is always on.. at home I have one server, always running, that is dhcp server, dns server, router to internet, user files for me and my wife.. then we each have one desktop | 18:43 |

| g0tcha | hey guys, how can i give write and excu rights to a new user i added? | 18:44 |
| Slart | g0tcha: chmod | 18:44 |
| Slart | g0tcha: I don't think you can give a user some kind of general execute and write rights | 18:44 |
| ezzell | o.O? | 18:44 |
| dreamnid | g0tcha, maybe you want to further explain what you're trying to do? | 18:44 |
| g0tcha | Slart, why not? | 18:44 |
| opt1k | Slart: maybe he thinks of admin rights? | 18:44 |
| ezzell | ah.. | 18:45 |
| g0tcha | dreamedge, i want the user to b able to run commands like ./configure, make and so on withtout getting permission denied | 18:45 |

| Kl4m | I currently have a process in the "Dl" state. How can I kill it? | 18:45 |
| arc_ | how do I register as a Linux user? | 18:45 |
| Slart | g0tcha: because linux isn't designed like that.. you have to set it for each file.. or use groups.. | 18:45 |
| Slart | opt1k: mm.. that kind of makes sense | 18:45 |
| _Zeus_ | Kl4m: what is the dl state? | 18:45 |
| dreamnid | g0tcha, those commands should run as long as the user owns those files | 18:45 |
| g0tcha | dreamnid, how can i make the user own those files? i thought it was a permission problem | 18:46 |

| arc_ | I have a question for anyone, what is a good antivirus for ubuntu and how and where do I get it? | 18:47 |
| eps | sudo aptitude install clamav | 18:48 |
| psycholvlan | i want to put th error and output messages in separate files using on command.... how do i do that... like ls -l aaa.txt bbb.txt? | 18:48 |
| eps | though in reality you don't need antivirus for linux | 18:48 |
| Slart | duncan-nz: you're welcome | 18:48 |
| arc_ | how do I install clamav? | 18:48 |
| Kl4m | arc_, if you don't need to scan other people's file (like on a server), don't bother with an antivirus | 18:48 |

| grendal_prime | hey guys, anyone any good with video encoding?? Ive got Core Pocket Media Player on my treo, im trying to encode some avi's i have with acidrip. It is working but the Core Pocket Media Player keeps complaining that it cannot play mpeg2? | 18:48 |
| eps | arc_, either with the command line I just gave you, or via synaptic, or via add remove programs | 18:48 |
| iatuser667 | grendal_prime, ffmpeg is your tool... | 18:49 |
| eps | arc_, though I strongly suggest you consider why you think you need an antivirus in the first place | 18:49 |
| grendal_prime | what settings do i need to set so that the avi does not use mpeg2..i though lavc would work(it reports its using mpeg4) | 18:49 |
| teharchitect | do I have to share out a folder using sudo in the command line? I get an error when i try to do it in the GUI | 18:49 |
| arc_ | I thought it would be good to use an antivirus so I dont pass on anything to anyone | 18:49 |
| dreamnid | teharchitect: how are you trying to share in command line? | 18:49 |
| eps | teharchitect, mind letting us know what the error is? | 18:49 |
| arc_ | antivirus for peace of mind | 18:49 |
| kitche | arc_: could use clamav | 18:50 |
| grendal_prime | iatuser667: is that a codec or an acutal app. because i really like acidrip. | 18:50 |
| kookaboorra | I've just installed Ubuntu. I've Creative Modem Blaster PCIDI5663, where can I fing driver for that? | 18:50 |

| grendal_prime | clamav rocks | 18:50 |
| arc_ | clamav is what I want, how do I download it and install? | 18:50 |
| kitche | eps: well considering that Unix systems can still pass viruses onto Windows | 18:50 |
| duncan-nz | Anyone know how to turn on a machine remotely with a magic packet sent to the network card? | 18:50 |
| kitche | arc_: it's in the repos | 18:50 |
| eps | arc_, well that is kind of you :) ... how ever most virus types simply cannot be transfered by linux. so the chances of you passing on a virus unless you directly send a file to some one which is infected is very low, almost non existent | 18:50 |
| dreamnid | arc_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV | 18:51 |
| Kl4m | arc_, it's ok if you know that it's very unlikely that you get a virus on Ubuntu. ClamAV can scan individual files but no Linux antivirus has a "on-access scanner" mode | 18:51 |
| iatuser667 | grendal_prime ffmpeg is both, it has its own mpeg4 codec and it can be used as a swiss army knife commandline converter | 18:51 |
| eps | kitche, care to link to some supporting evidence for that? | 18:51 |
| grendal_prime | grrr | 18:51 |
| kitche | eps: umm easy any email system | 18:51 |
| Slart | eps, arc_ : well.. if you have anything that shares files where windows computers are involved checking for viruses could be useful | 18:51 |
| iatuser667 | grendal_prime, from dvd, handbrakegtk is a good tool | 18:51 |
| grendal_prime | i think i will still be in the same situation with it..i just dont know enough about the setting envlolved with this. | 18:51 |
| eps | kitche, that isn't supporting evidence, that is spreading FUD | 18:51 |
| armornick | hey, how do I get apt to only use debs stored offline (on an external drive)? | 18:52 |
| iatuser667 | grendal_prime, try mpeg4 with aac | 18:52 |
| eps | Slart, he isn't running a server, for him to spread a virus he would have to send a windows computer a virus on purpose and they would have to execute it. | 18:52 |

| Slart | eps: yes, that seems reasonable... didn't know he wasn't sharing files | 18:53 |
| dreamnid | burt: wait, are you trying to tell it to use the wired connection? | 18:53 |
| cgentry72 | I have a program in my /home directory that I am trying to create a shortcut to on my desktop but when I click the icon on the desktop, the program states that I'm missing files | 18:53 |

| armornick | abchirk, if you use gnome, try rhythmbox, else amarok is good. | 18:55 |
| eps | Slart, when my work place was testing linux (ubuntu) for integration in to our corporate network we were given a laundry list of possible vectors a linux computer could infect a windows computer via. excluding a server we found that it is _practically_ impossible for a windows vector virus to passively be transmitted via a standard ubuntu install. we also researched a rather large set of white papers on the topic that came to the same | 18:55 |
| eps | conclusion. so realistically any one saying other wise without proof or support is spreading FUD. | 18:55 |
| benjick | Gack22: Are you on windows or linux when you wanna burn? | 18:55 |

| nabil | although, i have no idea how to configure apache.. | 19:11 |
| Slart | rob__: try "gksudo gedit" | 19:12 |
| Gack22 | eps thanks for your help I will keep trying until that page works | 19:12 |
| Pizarro | eps, I understand | 19:12 |
| nabil | perhaps some configuration realated to apache | 19:12 |

| tech_ | tech | 19:12 |
| rob__ | slart: nothing happends when i run that command. It doesn't prompt me for my pw either | 19:12 |
| blue-frog | nabil: no reason. phpmyadmin works out of the box | 19:12 |
| nabil | the community docs for ubuntu and phpmyadmin has tested it on the older versions of ubuntu | 19:12 |
| blue-frog | nabil: you installed from synaptic? | 19:13 |
| Slart | rob__: close the terminal you're using and start a new one | 19:13 |

| phatjeebus | from terminal type chmod 700 <filename> | 19:13 |
| Vladimir[LV] | ohh | 19:14 |
| blue-frog | nabil: sudo apt-get install --reinstall phpmyadmin | 19:14 |

| phatjeebus | or chmod 500 <filename> if you don't need write acess to it | 19:14 |
| eps | phatjeebus, or, never do that. | 19:14 |

| lolmac | Vladimir | 19:14 |
| lolmac | Vladimir[LV] | 19:14 |
| Pizarro | i am still getting fail during the openvpn server restart | 19:14 |
| lolmac | i think in /home | 19:15 |
| eps | nabil, then it is most likely that it isn't recognising php... does your browser try to download a file when you go to that address like index.php? | 19:15 |
| Vladimir[LV] | lolmac: i will can create link to /home/user/photos in /var/www/domain.com? | 19:15 |
| arooni | Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "/ on www.davidparkinson.com": Could not connect to host ... though if i open it from places => server ... it opens in firefox??? wtf? | 19:15 |
| nabil | let me check.. hold on.. | 19:15 |
| Vladimir[LV] | lolmac: i have mirracle with 2 HDD sata 320gb | 19:15 |
| eps | Vladimir, yes you can using symbolic links | 19:15 |
| Vladimir[LV] | cool =) | 19:15 |
| Vladimir[LV] | thanks | 19:15 |
| eps | some thing like ln -s /home/user/photos /var/www/domain.com/photos | 19:16 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps, lolmac: how many space i need for /var? | 19:16 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps, lolmac: 10gb - good? | 19:16 |

| eps | onx, capslock? | 19:17 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: there (in var) will be my all domains and all php scripts | 19:18 |
| eps | cheek1, mmm nothing jumps out as wrong in that. what isn't working about it? | 19:18 |
| Vladimir[LV] | aka cms'ez | 19:18 |
| nabil | OK, PHP works fine.. i also reinstalled phpmyadmin using the above command, still the same.. any other ideas?? | 19:18 |
| onx | eps, no. the password is definitely correct | 19:18 |
| jim_p | arooni: setup a correct xorg.conf | 19:18 |
| ^A^kira | i have atheros wifi card in my laptop, it worked fine till yesterday. Right now i can see wifi networks around me but knetworkmanager stucks at 28% "configuring network devoce". from console i just cant get IP.... ideas? | 19:18 |
| Pizarro | eps, I followed everything on the wiki but the server fails when restarting | 19:18 |
| eps | Vladimir, ah okay. I'm not really sure what you will be putting in there but I personally have a lot in my /var/www and it has 10 gig available to it | 19:18 |
| arc_ | I downloaded clamav from the repositorie and now how do I install? | 19:18 |
| eps | though note that symbolic links are like short cuts under windows so your data will still be stored in /home | 19:18 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: 10 gig - your /var total space? | 19:18 |
| nabil | blue-frog, eps: any more clues? | 19:18 |
| eps | arc_, it is installed | 19:18 |
| onx | can only get back in if i click "log on other user" and go from there. so i'm suspecting the screensaver app, but how to debug that? | 19:19 |
| Pizarro | eps, and this is WIFI, not the same, is for an internal network, but want clients comming for outside | 19:19 |
| arooni | jim_p, ok but how | 19:19 |
| arc_ | how do I know it is installed and then how do I use it, and update it? | 19:19 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: why did you download clamav? | 19:19 |
| ASh33 | test | 19:19 |
| ^A^kira | ? | 19:19 |
| arc_ | I dont even know if I downloaded it successfully | 19:20 |
| blue-frog | nabil: no. if you tweaked apache before installing phpmyadmin, undo what you have done. phpmydamin works fine out of synaptic on hardy | 19:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: why do you want clamav? | 19:20 |
| eps | Pizarro, hurr. maybe you should read a guide on how vpns work and how to set them up in general so you understand what you are doing. without knowing your network topography I cannot help you further (and I usually charge if I do go further) | 19:20 |
| arc_ | I want clamav for peace of mind | 19:20 |
| cheek1 | eps: ok .. first after he told me to chmod it and run the script .. he told me to see if itloaded the setting by typing iptables -L and it did load .. upthen he told me to test my box .. by pinging it .. and i did .. he told it wasnt supposed to to ping ..coz my box was supposed to be secure .. so ..then he told me to flush my tables .. and i did.. and then everything just froze..on my computer .. | 19:20 |
| rob__ | slart: how weird, I restarted and now gksudo gedit is working fine | 19:20 |
| eps | arc_, it did, other wise you would have gotten an error | 19:20 |
| ASh33 | ping ASh33 | 19:20 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: ok, that scheme: system - 15gb, swap - 2gb, /var - 10gb, /home - all other space | 19:20 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: good? | 19:20 |
| Slart | rob__: hmm.. it's such an undignified solution.. but if it works, it's all good with me =) | 19:20 |
| freeman__ | Hey guys Im looking for a program that I can drag and drop a wmv or avi and then burn the movie as dd | 19:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: at the moment you really don't need a virus scanner with Linux unless you are say emailing attachments to loads of Windows users that you have downloaded from some site say | 19:21 |
| arc_ | where do I see clamav on my computer, I am use to Norton on windows, is it nothing like that? | 19:21 |
| jim_p | arooni: there is loads you must do | 19:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: and Norton sucks | 19:21 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: mm.. a well need /tmp and /usr? | 19:21 |
| Pizarro | I'll give up, I move to Xp, sorry | 19:21 |
| Pizarro | this is a waste of time | 19:21 |
| eps | cheek1, what are you trying to secure the computer against? is it a server or your home computer? | 19:21 |
| arc_ | lol, Norton does as well as Vista, that is why I switched to Ubuntu | 19:21 |
| Pizarro | to make something you need 1 week | 19:21 |
| jim_p | do you REALLY need an antivirus/ | 19:21 |
| Pizarro | software is to make live easy not backwoards | 19:22 |
| LuYu | xp is a waste of time | 19:22 |
| arc_ | I am new to Ubuntu and am trying to learn it | 19:22 |
| jim_p | ? | 19:22 |
| teharchitect | pizarro did you ever think your #bad? | 19:22 |
| MIPC4 | hi | 19:22 |
| lolmac | hi, MIPC4 | 19:22 |
| freeman__ | ANy good video burning software out there ? | 19:22 |
| eps | Vladimir, I often find it easiest to have a / partition of 10-15 gig, and a /home partition with the rest of the space. that is for a home computer though | 19:22 |
| arc_ | I probably do not need clamav do I? | 19:22 |
| MIPC4 | :P | 19:22 |
| Pizarro | teharchitect, what? | 19:22 |
| arooni | jim_p, but i dont know how | 19:22 |
| jim_p | i use f-prot only to scan some files | 19:22 |
| arc_ | is Linux safer then Windows? | 19:22 |
| phatjeebus | there is a learning curve to anything you do | 19:22 |
| teharchitect | it's not a waste of time...you just have to get used to it | 19:22 |

| milostrife | can anyone give me a different chat client to pidgin ? | 19:22 |
| jim_p | arc_: ...by leaps and bounds | 19:22 |
| arooni | is there a ftp program that works with linux? | 19:22 |
| arooni | with gui | 19:23 |
| cheek1 | eps: its my dsktop..i just wanna learn and see how it works | 19:23 |
| Pizarro | teharchitect, I am very likly ignorant, but it suposed that people should start movingo to Linux, however linux doesn'0t make us live easy to do so | 19:23 |
| MIPC4 | Slart thanks :) | 19:23 |
| Slart | arooni: many.. gftp is one | 19:23 |
| eps | milostrife, what chat networks to you usually use? | 19:23 |
| Slart | !info gftp | 19:23 |
| ubottu | gftp (source: gftp): X/GTK+ FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.18-17ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 45 kB, installed size 76 kB | 19:23 |
| duncan-nz | arc_, absolutely yes. | 19:23 |
| jim_p | arooni: ftp client? | 19:23 |
| phatjeebus | yes linux is safer than windows generally if for no other reason than most viruses are made for windows and simply will no execute in any linux/bsd environment | 19:23 |
| blue-frog | Pizarro: for people who only used mac or linux, moving to windows is difficult | 19:23 |
| duncan-nz | arc_, assuming you're not a complete idiot who is trying to ruin your system. | 19:23 |
| milostrife | eps, what mean im useing pidgin for me msn account but im finding viewing webcams a problem. | 19:23 |
| rob__ | is it possible to reinstall ubuntu but keep all settings and previously installed apps? | 19:24 |
| Slart | Pizarro: Linux/ubuntu isn't harder than windows.. but most people already have years of experience with windows and expect to pick up linux/ubuntu in a week and be as proficient as they were with windows | 19:24 |
| eps | cheek1, to be honest it is pretty late where I am (4am :( ) and I'm a bit to tired to get in to IP tables with you. there are some great guides on the net that you may find interesting (or helpful) by searching google or wikipedia. | 19:24 |
| Pizarro | teharchitect, and in a working day I can0t afford to lose a whole day to set up a stupid VPN server, which is very easy to setup in XP or mwhatever | 19:24 |
| duncan-nz | blue-frog, but getting easier all the time. It's also hard moving from mac to windows. | 19:24 |
| arc_ | I may be a complete idiot I paid $50.00 for norton and still had problems | 19:24 |
| phatjeebus | geez sp3 takes a while to load in this vm, heh | 19:24 |
| Slart | Pizarro: but that's just an opinion.. | 19:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: you don't need a virus scanner in Linux at the moment, and Norton sucks yes | 19:24 |
| benjick | Pizarro: Ubuntu comes with openvpn | 19:24 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: it will be a server | 19:24 |
| eps | cheek1, if you want to get rid of the issues that have been caused delete the script he gave you (or make it not executable so you can try again later via chmod -x filename ) and reboot | 19:24 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: with social network site | 19:24 |
| duncan-nz | milostrife, I think amsn supports webcams. I don't think pidgin does. | 19:24 |
| eps | cheek1, every reboot cleans the ip tables | 19:24 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: and some other sites | 19:25 |
| Pizarro | benjick, I know, but whot o make it to work!!!!!! I spent a day on it | 19:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: basically there are no main streame viruses for Linux at the moment, and if they were you would actsaully have to know what you are doing to install them, unlike Windows | 19:25 |
| arc_ | Im also and Idiot because I have not found a way to return my copy of vista pre installed on my computer that I do not even use | 19:25 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: with many photos and files.. | 19:25 |
| cheek1 | eps: thnks man | 19:25 |
| benjick | Pizarro: Are you commanding me? :P | 19:25 |

| === LivingDead is now known as Ejlan | ||
| Pizarro | benjick, but it is supossed to be easy, but HOW? | 19:25 |
| blue-frog | arc_: have you accepted the EULA when you started the computer? | 19:26 |
| benjick | Pizarro: System -> prefs -> remote desktop :P | 19:26 |
| duncan-nz | arc_, that's because you can't. It comes with the hardware as part of an agrement between microsoft and the hardware manufacturer. | 19:26 |
| Ejlan | can some one name me a good data recovery software for ubuntu | 19:26 |
| Slart | Ejlan: testdisk is one.. don't know if you'll call it good though | 19:26 |
| Pizarro | benjick, well that's not VPN, and also, I am not on a desktop, I am on ubuntu server, consolo XD | 19:26 |
| eps | Vladimir, then it is up to you. realistically if you give root plenty of space and home and var plenty of space you wont run in to many issues...any issues you do run in to should be easy to fix. so play around with it and find what works best for you. | 19:26 |
| benjick | Pizarro: OH, sorry, was thinking vnc, i'm tired | 19:26 |
| arc_ | so in other words, Microsoft is a Monopoly after all? | 19:26 |
| Pizarro | VPN is note remote desktop connection boys | 19:26 |
| eps | Ejlan, what state is the data in? | 19:27 |
| benjick | I know | 19:27 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: on it will be: mysql, mail server, web server, php, ftp server, some firewalls and anti spam for mail.. | 19:27 |
| benjick | I'm tired | 19:27 |
| Pizarro | I want remote computers to log into my network | 19:27 |
| aldaek | How do I get my mouse to scroll right. Physically scrolling works, but the tap scroll, move mouse up/down to scroll, tap scroll to unlock is not working. | 19:27 |
| Pizarro | and IN XP is very easy to setup | 19:27 |
| Ejlan | i just removed all files on the wrong drive | 19:27 |
| arc_ | Should I run a Firewall with Ubuntu? | 19:27 |
| Ejlan | .. | 19:27 |
| benjick | Pizarro: http://www.thebakershome.net/?q=node/56 | 19:27 |
| Slart | Ejlan: ext3? xfs? ext2? | 19:27 |
| Ejlan | ntfs | 19:27 |
| benjick | arc_: Try firestarter, easy to use and really neat | 19:27 |
| duncan-nz | arc_, see here http://tuxmobil.org/ms_tax.html | 19:27 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: oh, ill can fix space in working machine? (repartitioning) | 19:27 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: you can't just re turn a copy of Vista that is pre installed. do you have a router? | 19:27 |
| eps | Vladimir, personally I would then have root as 10-15, var as 10-15, and the rest of your hdd in home - and store your files in home | 19:27 |
| eps | Vladimir, if you have physical access I believe gparted makes resizing partitions easy as | 19:28 |
| blue112 | Is there a simple way to jail a ssh user into a directory ? | 19:28 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps ok, but i need some directories, as /usr or /tmp ? | 19:28 |
| Slart | Ejlan: then you might want to get some kind of windows tool.. ntfs and linux is good enough for general use.. but there aren't that many tools available yet for it | 19:28 |
| Pizarro | I give up, sorry | 19:28 |
| phatjeebus | Pizarro, if you need something stable, high availability, and pretty secure, use linux... if you need something fast, use windows... thing is linux is more complicated than windows but you end up with a better product at the end. Another option is get the VPN running in XP or whatever so people can use it... then take the time to learn how to configure openvpn in linux... just a thought | 19:28 |
| Pizarro | but I was forced to | 19:28 |
| Pizarro | thanks for all | 19:28 |
| eps | Vladimir, if you don't specificy those directories they will just be put on the root partition and you wont have to worry about them | 19:28 |
| Pizarro | this time XP: 1 Linux:0 , at least for me, I cant waste mor time | 19:28 |
| duncan-nz | arc_, you don't really need to do anything to improve security. Just run it. The firewall is built in. But if you want to add more configuration you can install firestarter. | 19:29 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: oh cool x) thank you very much | 19:29 |
| eps | Pizarro, no, your inexperience is 1 and your enlightenment is 0 | 19:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | arc_: you should also have a routher firewall turned on or some other sort of hardware firewall | 19:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | router | 19:29 |
| benjick | Pizarro: Then don't :P | 19:29 |
| blue112 | Please, is there a simple way to jail a ssh user into a directory ? | 19:29 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: i will have physical and virtuall access :) | 19:29 |
| benjick | blue112: rbash or ibsh | 19:29 |
| Slart | Pizarro: ok, sorry to hear it didn't work out for you.. hope you make it work with whatever software you end up chosing | 19:29 |
| Pizarro | eps, yes of course, but you forget that in the real world, the time is gold, and that's why I cant waste 4 days traying to set upa a network | 19:29 |
| phatjeebus | they make openvpn for windows too :) | 19:30 |
| blue112 | benjick: that applications are simple to configure ? | 19:30 |
| eps | Vladimir[LV], then just go for it. nothing stopping you backing up all the data and starting again if it all stuffs up in to a huge mess! it's more fun that way anyway | 19:30 |
| whta | flash video in firefox plays with a lower volume than everything else. how can i turn that up? | 19:30 |
| Vladimir[LV] | eps: but i will can resize partitions without turning on my machine? | 19:30 |
| Pizarro | Slart, thank you | 19:30 |
| benjick | The thing is, i linked you a step by step tutorial Pizarro; and you didn't even bother to look | 19:30 |
| eps | Pizarro, you mean the real world where I do this for a living? and that the term 'only a poor tradesman blames his tools' is very real? | 19:30 |

| carlos_ | nice, ty : ) | 19:31 |
| lolmac | hi, RomanaMentalis | 19:31 |
| RomanaMentalis | hello mac | 19:31 |
| Vladimir[LV] | *eps: without turning off | 19:31 |
| Pizarro | eps, no, I mean that people like me, that are trying to know mnew things, trying to join to the dream of " new world of offices free of Microsoft stuff" is finding things really hard to move | 19:31 |
| lolmac | hi, RomanaMentalis | 19:31 |
| Slart | RomanaMentalis: almost certainly iptables.. 99% sure | 19:31 |
| jamesmcm | carlos_, so ask one of these nice people to show you how to add servers on xchat | 19:31 |
| phatjeebus | ubuntu uses iptables | 19:31 |
| eps | Pizarro, then first learn about networking, understand the concepts involved. that way it wont matter what software you choose the setup will be straight forward and mostly painless | 19:32 |
| Pizarro | eps, and that's why most of the offices and companies are still sticking on microsoft, ...that's the reality | 19:32 |
| Slart | !ot | 19:32 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:32 |
| phatjeebus | however no firewall is turned on when it is first installed (worstation) because there are no services listening | 19:32 |
| phatjeebus | at least that was my understanding | 19:32 |
| eps | Pizarro, that is their concern. I'm happy making a living off an ignorant world, it pays well. :D | 19:32 |
| X_o | how do i can active mode monitor on ndswipper "I have some problem with aircrack-ng and that option" | 19:32 |
| Pizarro | eps, you right, I have to learn, however there are some toolls that even ignorant like me can make a vpn server to work, which is what the real companies are looking for: quick and easy to start working in the real buisness | 19:33 |
| eps | X_o, good question, I wouldn't mind knowing that myself | 19:33 |
| RomanaMentalis | thank you | 19:33 |
| eps | Pizarro, no, real companies care about security, and people who use push button tools to set things up rarely understand the security risks they are introducing. | 19:33 |

| eps | vince_, there is no need to reboot in to windows when that happens. simply turn the computer off. though that is a bit odd that it is happening | 19:44 |
| phatjeebus | just because a port is open doesn't mean you can telnet to it | 19:44 |

| mohan34u | arc_: how you turned on your firewall? | 20:19 |
| lorsadmin | erusul thanks | 20:20 |
| R4kk00n | RomanaMentalis, if you generate your own your users will still get a warning saying that the certificate cannot be validated (or what it says when an issuer is unknown) | 20:20 |
| arc_ | what is the command in the terminal to enable and disable the firewall? | 20:20 |
| mohan34u | arc_: are you using firestarter? | 20:20 |
| erUSUL | arc_: depends on the firewall utility you use | 20:20 |
| arc_ | It is the default firewall I do not know but I type in enable and disable but I do not remember what else I typed | 20:21 |
| Phreaks | i have compact flash , when i try to mount it says bad superblock of filesystem . its file system JFS , any ideas ;) | 20:21 |

| roukoun | hi everyone | 20:22 |
| nicudotro | Hello, how do i install the latest version of vlc (0.9.2 http://www.videolan.org/) in hardy. It is not in the repository? | 20:22 |
| lolmac | hi, nicudotro | 20:22 |
| FatSackoFat | think its in the repository | 20:23 |
| FatSackoFat | sudo apt-get install vlc | 20:23 |
| RomanaMentalis | R4kk00n so I have to buy one to get rid of that warning. Will the basic model at godaddyssl.com do the trick? | 20:23 |
| nicudotro | i did that | 20:23 |
| RomanaMentalis | https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp?se=%2B&ci=271 | 20:23 |
| RomanaMentalis | that's what I'm looking at | 20:23 |
| FatSackoFat | what happened? | 20:24 |
| dominique | I got GRUB Error 17. When trying to restore the MBR through a live CD with "root (hd0,1)" it tells me the disk does not exist. When I do fdisk /dev/sda, it also tells me the drive cannot be found. But when I click on Computer on the liveCD, it still lists all my partitions. How can I get /dev/sda to be recognized again? | 20:24 |
| nicudotro | i have VLC media player 0.8.6e | 20:24 |
| mohan34u | arc_: sudo iptables --flush; sudo iptables-save | 20:24 |
| nicudotro | 092 is joust out now | 20:24 |
| nicudotro | 092 is just out now | 20:24 |

| bazz | i want to install a meta-package but it has a typo in it making it require a non-existent package. is there a way i can see everything it wants to install so i can manually install everything except the typoed package? | 20:25 |
| FatSackoFat | well, let's see | 20:25 |
| FatSackoFat | since i just noticed i have an earlier version too, haha | 20:26 |

| Pici | nicudotro: Ubuntu does not routinely upgrade packages after a release has happened, although this may make it into backports if there is enough demand. /msg ubottu backports for more info | 20:26 |
| mohan34u | arc_: this is maximum to clear your kernel firewall settings.. if it not works.. then it defenately not a firewall problem.. | 20:26 |
| Pici | tmcookies: Please don't advertise channels here, this is a place for support. | 20:26 |
| genius | How to upgrade this? The following packages have been kept back: openssh-client openssh-server 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. | 20:27 |
| === D_R_P is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr | ||
| FatSackoFat | nicudotro: did you try going into synaptic package manager and enabling multiverse repository... then try an update | 20:27 |
| Pici | genius: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:27 |
| nicudotro | yes i did that | 20:27 |
| FatSackoFat | if that doesnt work... you probably have to install from source.. i'm gonna try it now | 20:27 |
| FatSackoFat | oh, did it work? | 20:27 |
| nicudotro | nope | 20:27 |
| Pici | nicudotro: 0.9.2 is not even in Intrepid yet. | 20:28 |
| nicudotro | ok | 20:28 |
| nicudotro | i'll try to install form source | 20:28 |
| Mecha25 | I need a samba expert for a very weird problem. any takers? | 20:28 |
| Mecha25 | wow it's quiet in here.... | 20:29 |
| Tarandus | how do I "pin" the newest, manually installed kvirc so that Ubuntu will not automatically try to downgrade it? | 20:29 |
| Tarandus | I only use Samba for the most basic things to avoid those weird problems | 20:30 |
| Tarandus | believe me, it has lots of those | 20:30 |
| Tarandus | there is a logic behind it, but I do not have the time to figure it out | 20:30 |
| Tarandus | and there aren't enough people with linux in the whole world so that anyone would ever document it in a simple and understandable form | 20:32 |
| elexodus | I can't get Samba to log me in!!! Somebody, please help!!! | 20:32 |
| Tarandus | there are even less people for ever designing it in a way that would make it simple, powerful and understandable | 20:32 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: I'm looking for samba help too, if anyone speaks up I'll pass them on to you | 20:33 |
| Mecha25 | usually #ubuntu is WAY more active than this | 20:33 |
| Mecha25 | I'm frankly shocked, 1432 people and only 4 are talking | 20:33 |
| Tarandus | Mecha25: I wonder about it a bit too | 20:33 |
| Mecha25 | one sec, I have an idea | 20:33 |
| FatSackoFat | some of us are working | 20:33 |
| elexodus | I can't get Samba to log me in!!! I get the login screen on my Vista box while mapping the drive, but "server/uname" (HappyTrees/elexodus) and my password (same as ubuntu login) don't work.Somebody, please help!!! | 20:33 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: what's your problem | 20:34 |
| jim_p | goodnight boys and girls | 20:34 |
| Tarandus | you need to set up separate samba passwords with smbpasswd instead of passwd | 20:34 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: with samba, I can mount, explore, read, and mess with any server on the samba network, but I can't browse the servers, or shares on a given server | 20:34 |
| Mecha25 | it's so weird, they're there, samba works great, it just flat out refuses to browse multiple servers | 20:35 |
| elexodus | Tarandus: I have. I just elected to use the same password and username. | 20:35 |
| === aho_ is now known as orifice_ | ||
| Mecha25 | you don't need Server/uname | 20:35 |
| Tarandus | I solved half of my Samba problems by not doing anything complicated... and I solved the another half by using a Mac... now flame me, I will smile because it was worth it =) | 20:35 |
| Mecha25 | just username | 20:35 |
| Mecha25 | mine's simple, samba works amazingly well, it's just something about my network makes both Windows and Linux versions of samba very very hesitant to browse | 20:36 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: I have no clue | 20:36 |
| Tarandus | elexodus: well, then, try smbpasswd and give it your login password | 20:36 |
| Mecha25 | both can log me in and share files fine, maybe the network's just too big. It's my college, around 600 samba servers available at any one time | 20:36 |
| elexodus | Tarandus: Failed to find entry for user root. | 20:37 |
| Tarandus | Mecha25: I can browse 2000 servers at my workplace | 20:37 |
| elexodus | Tarandus: Failed to find entry for user root. | 20:37 |
| elexodus | must be nice... | 20:37 |
| Tarandus | elexodus: sudo smbpasswd elexodus | 20:37 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus, you need to change your samba password setups, System, Administration Samba | 20:38 |
| Mecha25 | it might not be available by default, if not right click and edit your menu to enable it | 20:38 |
| Tarandus | elexodus: I mean, there is no limit inbuilt in Samba that would prevent one from browsing big networks | 20:38 |
| Mecha25 | I used to be able to do it, although it never worked reliably on either windows or linux. My roommate's mac refuses to browse either, but connects just fine | 20:38 |
| Mecha25 | it might be something wrong with the network | 20:38 |
| Dunas | Why does 8.04 crash every time I try to logout or shut down with any windows open? Through any means. The Gnome Panel and WM go unresponsive and I have to shut down the computer by holding in the power button. | 20:40 |
| Mecha25 | eh, I'll see if I can get vista to do it, if I can't then it's a problem with the network | 20:40 |
| genii | elexodus: First make sure samba is actually installed. Since it's not usually be default, only the smbclient. | 20:40 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: Screenshot | 20:40 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas, it only does this when you have programs open | 20:40 |
| Mecha25 | ? | 20:40 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: http://i38.tinypic.com/1znmr2q.png sorry | 20:40 |
| Dunas | Mecha25: Yes. :x I've tried once without programs, worked flawlessly. | 20:41 |
| elexodus | genii: how would I do that? | 20:41 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas, are you using Compiz? | 20:41 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: genii's right, you need to install it | 20:41 |
| genii | elexodus: apt-cache policy samba if no *** beside one of the versions available, it's simply not installed | 20:41 |
| Mecha25 | samba's set up weird by default, usually it works, but when it doesn't you have to install the config utilities before fixing it | 20:42 |
| Dunas | Mecha25: No, not using Compiz. | 20:42 |
| pyrak | how can i tell if i'm on i386 or amd64? | 20:42 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas: weird... try it again with no programs open, it must be something to do with the window manager not closing properly | 20:43 |
| elexodus | genii, mecha25: looks installed to me http://i37.tinypic.com/6t3bck.png | 20:43 |
| blue112 | When I set user's shell to ibsh, he can't connect by ftp anymore >_< | 20:43 |
| Mecha25 | although it really shouldn't matter what you have open, unless you have some system-critical app up | 20:43 |
| Tarandus | mark my words... 10 years from now, these things with samba will not be the least bit more understandable... it is only possible that samba might have died by then and been replaced with something more workable | 20:43 |
| Dunas | Mecha25, usually Firefox with Flash 9 and Java plugins enabled, aMSN, Pidgin, and occasionally OpenOffice. | 20:44 |
| Tarandus | but, anyway, good night now | 20:44 |
| arooni | is nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new .... the same thing as dloading the binary drivers from nvidia? | 20:44 |
| pyrak | how can i tell if i'm on i386 or amd64? | 20:44 |
| pyrak | is there a console command? | 20:44 |
| ValentineX | :p which is ubuntu ipod software? | 20:44 |
| Mecha25 | Samba acutally isn't designed to work within itself, it's designed to work with windows networks, which have their own problems we have no way to mess with | 20:44 |
| Tarandus | pyrak: uname -a | 20:44 |
| Mecha25 | aMSN might be it, or flash | 20:44 |
| elexodus | Tarandus: Thanks for the help. | 20:44 |
| Mecha25 | ValentineX: either Hipo or gtkPod | 20:45 |
| Dunas | Mecha25: Well, that's odd. Maybe try it with an aMSN alternative. | 20:45 |
| Mecha25 | ValentineX: or Amarok, Rhythmbox, or Banshee | 20:45 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas: Pidgin can do MSN | 20:45 |
| ValentineX | Mecha25: sudo apt-get install amarok? | 20:45 |
| Mecha25 | ValentineX: you have rhythmbox, right? | 20:45 |
| Dunas | Mecha25: In my experience, not very well- and it likes to crash itself on multiple occasions. | 20:45 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: Amarok is great. | 20:46 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas: really? just chatting? | 20:46 |
| ValentineX | Mecha25: yup but I don't like that I want to try others | 20:46 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: yeah... but it's Kubuntu, and I really don't like its media library browser | 20:46 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: ahhh | 20:46 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: any other suggestions for the Samba issue? | 20:46 |
| Mecha25 | ValentineX: try Amarok, it's good, or if you want to get the latest version of Banshee (not the one in the repositories) then I'd recommend that, Banshee 1.2.1 is what I use | 20:47 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: you manually type in that login info? | 20:47 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: on the Vista box or the command | 20:47 |
| elexodus | ? | 20:47 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: the login from ubuntu onto the vista box | 20:47 |
| Dunas | Mecha25: Yup. The annoying thing is that there's no terminal output when run in terminal. It just... vanishes. | 20:48 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas: weird, really weird. Grab a Yahoo account, it interfaces with MSN I think | 20:48 |
| elexodus | Mecha25: yes. "Username: HappyTrees/elexodus Password: *******" | 20:48 |
| Mecha25 | Dunas: or to solve your shutdown problem, try shutting down with one window open, then 2, then more until you find the one that breaks it | 20:48 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: that's your issue | 20:49 |
| ValentineX | Mecha25: I got banshee in repos | 20:49 |
| Mecha25 | elexodus: you don't need the HappyTrees/ | 20:49 |
| genii | elexodus: Yup, it's installed. Does: ps aux | grep smbd show it as running? | 20:49 |
| SliMM | hello | 20:49 |
| Mecha25 | ValentineX: that's the old version, it's awful | 20:49 |
| lolmac | hi, SliMM | 20:49 |

| SliMM | is there a way to access an external storage device by an id instead of using the mount point in the filesystem? | 20:50 |
| Mecha25 | ValentineX: sudo apt-get remove name | 20:50 |

| Goosemoose | slart: i can't login as root even though i enabled the account, and can't seem to sudo to it | 21:38 |
| snej | nkei0: in the case you want to unzip the archive better use unzip | 21:38 |
| ozzloy | borkbork: yeah, i'm looking at mono. it seems it can create apps to run on .net, but not open visual studio projects | 21:38 |
| nkei0 | snej ahh thanks cat didn't work btw | 21:38 |
| Slart | Goosemoose: what does "sudd whoami" print out? | 21:38 |
| ozzloy | is monodevelop available on windows? | 21:38 |
| ozzloy | ms windows? | 21:38 |
| Slart | Goosemoose: sorry.. "sudo whoami" | 21:38 |
| linduxed | duncan-nz: then it is for me too | 21:38 |
| borkbork | honestly i'm not sure | 21:39 |
| Kl4m | sudo whoami = root, because it prints the effective uid | 21:39 |
| skinnymg1-deskto | Slart no need for sudo on that command just whoami | 21:39 |
| borkbork | typically for c++ stuff in linux, i would use eclipse | 21:39 |
| borkbork | but tha's me | 21:39 |
| Jefo | i cant moved stuff to the garbage anymore, also my homedir is NOT full | 21:39 |
| borkbork | that's me | 21:39 |
| roukoun | hi everyone | 21:39 |
| Jefo | move | 21:39 |
| elexodus | ozzloy: I don't think so... | 21:40 |
| Kl4m | I second Eclipse with CDT for Linux C++ development | 21:40 |
| Goosemoose | slart: it says 'user is not in the sudoers file' | 21:40 |
| roukoun | id like someone to explain me the filesystem of linux and how it works... | 21:40 |
| Slart | skinnymg1-deskto: that would depend on what you want to do | 21:40 |
| Slart | Goosemoose: hmm.. that's odd | 21:40 |
| Slart | Goosemoose: are you logged in as your regular ubuntu user now? | 21:41 |
| skinnymg1-deskto | anyways im not in here for that i need help with this error mess im getting on boot up | 21:41 |
| Slart | skinnymg1-deskto: I just wanted to check if sudo worked =) | 21:41 |
| elexodus | Jefo: Sounds like your file system needs repair. | 21:41 |
| ozzloy | elexodus, borkbork, urthmover: actually i just pointed monodevelop at the *.sln file and it opened just fine | 21:41 |
| ozzloy | happy day! | 21:41 |
| borkbork | seriously? | 21:42 |
| ozzloy | yeah! | 21:42 |
| borkbork | that's cool | 21:42 |

| matthewyax | anyone here willing to help out a lil? | 21:42 |
| elexodus | magnetron: You there? password's fine. | 21:42 |
| Jefo | elexodus, do you know how i can repair it? | 21:42 |
| borkbork | never tried mono... but i don't deal with .NET if i can help it :) | 21:42 |
| skinnymg1-deskto | it says: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS: No such file or directory | 21:42 |
| platius | roukoun, have fun | 21:43 |
| Slart | Goosemoose: then something is seriously broken.. you said you tried to enable to root login? what did you change? | 21:43 |
| matthewyax | tryin to setup a streaming media server that does video and music... any ideas? tried Jinzora, that was useless... | 21:43 |

| Jaco1 | Hey, is it possible to disable passwords? | 21:44 |
| SmoothPorcupine | Jaco1, I hope so. | 21:45 |
| ganny | it shows that my wireless driver is in use | 21:45 |
| Slart | Jaco1: for everything? or just for logging in? | 21:45 |
| Jaco1 | For logging in and maybe everything :p | 21:45 |
| elexodus | Jefo: try ubuntuforums.com. I've never even heard of that problem before. | 21:45 |
| hilts | anyone came across Intel wireless driver product code 512an_mmwg | 21:45 |
| ganny | can anybody please help me | 21:45 |
| SmoothPorcupine | Jaco1, let me know what you find. | 21:45 |
| Slart | Jaco1: I know you can enable auto-login if that's what you want? or you still want to be able to choose who logs in? | 21:45 |
| magnetron | Jaco1, you can make ubuntu automatically log you in on a specific account. you don't want to disable passwords, however. | 21:46 |
| matthewyax | any ideas on a streaming music and video server??? | 21:46 |
| Jefo | ok thanks | 21:46 |
| Jaco1 | How do i make auto-login? | 21:46 |

| borkbork | Ozzloy: yeah, i had a feeling... :( | 21:48 |
| borkbork | do you have to have .net? | 21:48 |
| elexodus | Raley: is your driver up to date, and properly installed? | 21:48 |
| nkei0 | Here's a question, whenever I go into terminal and type "su" to become a user with higher permissions, it always asks for a password, however, the password I set when I installed Ubuntu does not work in this field, what's the deal? | 21:48 |
| ozzloy | no? maybe? i just did aptitude install monodevelop | 21:48 |
| magnetron | raley, just ask, there are 1300 people here waiting to answer any question | 21:48 |

| ozzloy | i really don't want to run or develop in .net, i'm just doing this to run something a coworker made | 21:49 |
| elexodus | magnetron: no luck... | 21:49 |
| raley | i just installed ubuntu and was told that i should be able plug my ethernet cable in and it will work. but it is not | 21:49 |

| Goosemoose | slart, i enabled root login via the preseed.cfg file. and if i boot to terminal i can log in fine | 21:53 |

| marcelo__ | may I talk about BALSA ? | 21:53 |
| Slart | Goosemoose: hmm.. that shouldn't really kill your ability to use sudo .. | 21:53 |
| nickrud | hilts, sorry, I missed your last (no nick). A sec | 21:54 |
| marcelo__ | How configure BALSA to keep messages after pop them ? | 21:54 |
| mrmakulit | nickrud, nope i made the password easy so i couldnt have typed it wrong | 21:54 |
| raley | nickrud, i tran it, and everything timed out and kernal: [0.000000] for all of them | 21:54 |
| Goosemoose | Slart, i can ssh via root too | 21:55 |
| nickrud | mrmakulit, well, that's what the error is about. | 21:55 |
| nickrud | raley, copy and past the whole thing on paste.ubuntu.com | 21:55 |
| mrmakulit | so then mysql is bugged then? | 21:56 |
| mrmakulit | cause if i got the pass wrong id never be able to login to my gmail which i can lol | 21:56 |
| nickrud | hilts, what does lspci | grep -i wlan say? That | 21:56 |
| elexodus | sushiX_: that's about all I have... | 21:56 |

| utferd | for example i cant hear sound while wathcing video, and rhythmbox open | 21:58 |

| nkei0 | How do I tell if a file has the exe bitset? | 21:58 |
| notwist | Not a linux related question per se but does anyone know why i have a beeping sound, albeit low, always coming from my soundcard? It appears in my speaker as soon as i touch the PC case and not only when plugged into the soundcard, which makes me think it might not help buying a new one :( | 21:58 |

| vinicius | like this --> http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/538/capturadatelamz3.jpg | 22:28 |
| B3z3rk3r | ubuntu: but once you are there u will need to get a script that you can follow to manually reinstall drivers | 22:28 |
| B3z3rk3r | ubuntu: otherwise your best bet is too simply reinstall | 22:28 |

| B3z3rk3r | remember tho, you cant just run search, as the live-cd is where it is looking for them | 22:31 |
| ubuntu | but there is something that looks like my files but i think the live cd is hiding it | 22:31 |
| B3z3rk3r | make sure you mount your drive | 22:31 |
| B3z3rk3r | and point your searcher to the drive in question | 22:31 |
| justin__ | nonewmsgs, so use the monitor hz's that u put in that conf or use the ones that i showed u for my monitor? | 22:31 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 22:39 |
| ubuntu | *having problems | 22:39 |
| jimv2000 | Ok, so here's a question. Are there specific channels for hardware/networking/etc like on the forums? | 22:39 |
| B3z3rk3r | ubuntu: walking u thru a manual reinstall of drivers via non-gui interface, is beyond me right now... unless anyone else can help, im reccomending a reinstall | 22:39 |
| DasEi1 | kentnyberg: you could boot in recoverymode and cd to that directory and watch : gedit xorg.conf , xorg.xxxxxx | 22:39 |
| Minty95_95 | can someone give me the pasteboard link please | 22:39 |
| Babbleback | why might the sound crackle occasionally | 22:39 |
| ubuntu | i cant go int recoverymode though | 22:40 |
| unop | !paste > Minty95_95 | 22:40 |
| DasEi1 | !paste | 22:40 |
| ubottu | Minty95_95, please see my private message | 22:40 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:40 |
| ubuntu | i get the same problem | 22:40 |
| kentnyberg | DasEi1: how do i boot into recovery mode? press some key upon boot? | 22:40 |
| Jaco1 | Thanks anyway, now when i pressed super + r it worked | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U_ | jimv2000: Not for Ubuntu, if you are having actual hardware problems ( not driver problems in Ubuntu ) then there are other general hardware channels, same with networking. Otherwise there is pretty much just #kubuntu and the other language channels for Ubuntu | 22:40 |
| DasEi1 | kentnyberg: yup, after grub startet, press escape and choose | 22:40 |
| tobiassjosten | Pidgin keeps crashing on me when I shut it down. It refuses to be quit and when I try to kill it, nothing happens. In system monitor it's listed as Uninterruptable. | 22:40 |
| kentnyberg | DasEi1: tjanks. will try that. :) | 22:40 |
| DasEi1 | kentnyberg: also see sudo for permissions in /etc | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U_ | ubuntu: What problem are you having? | 22:41 |
| jimv2000 | Ok, first time using IRC :) I usually stick to the forums, but thought I'd check this out. | 22:41 |
| ubuntu | i start the pc then start up ubuntu through grub and then it does that loading bar then after instead of autologing me in it goes to a balck screen | 22:42 |

| ubuntu | in the end same erorr | 22:43 |
| ubuntu | something about a resume image thouhg it doesnt say erorr | 22:43 |
| jimv2000 | @Ubuntu: You probably need drivers for your video card, which you *should* be able to get from the recovery console. | 22:43 |
| Minty95_95 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/47584/ | 22:44 |

| Minty95_95 | am i running generic driver ? | 22:44 |
| B3z3rk3r | jimv2000 thats what i suggested, but reinstalling those without a gui is beyond me | 22:44 |
| ubuntu | been runnign ubuntu fine for a few months though | 22:44 |
| === feh_ is now known as oogy | ||
| Jordan_U_ | ubuntu: Try editing the grub line to add "noresume" | 22:45 |
| ubuntu | which grub line? | 22:45 |
| jimv2000 | the one that says "kernel ..." | 22:46 |
| ubuntu | ok | 22:46 |
| ubuntu | make a space before adding noresume? | 22:46 |
| jimv2000 | yeah | 22:46 |
| jimv2000 | at the end | 22:46 |
| ubuntu | ok | 22:46 |

| Vega1 | does anyone know how to install a windows based program using ubuntu | 22:51 |
| jimv2000 | yes, you need to install WINE | 22:51 |
| Vega1 | i got it | 22:51 |
| SlimeyPete | !wine | Vega1 | 22:51 |
| ubottu | Vega1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 22:51 |
| jimv2000 | ok | 22:51 |
| jimv2000 | which program are you tring to install? | 22:51 |
| SlimeyPete | so just double-click the setup.exe then :) | 22:51 |
| Vega1 | shadowbane | 22:51 |
| SlimeyPete | or run "wine setup.exe" from a terminal | 22:51 |
| Vega1 | heres what it says | 22:52 |
| jimv2000 | apparently Shadowbane isn't working with WINE currently | 22:52 |

| SlimeyPete | Vega1: well you would. You've only moved the game.exe, not the .dll and it probably requires registry entries | 22:53 |
| SlimeyPete | applications just don't work that way on Windows | 22:53 |
| deever | are there any packages for libmysqlclient with debugging symbols? | 22:53 |
| SlimeyPete | Vega1: install it by running the setup file using Wine | 22:53 |
| Vega1 | i get a java error | 22:53 |
| Vega1 | it starts the install anywhere but once that finishes it just closes | 22:54 |
| jimv2000 | @jpcunha: you should be fine with swap off....i had mine off on accident for quite awhile and didn't notice until I was getting suspend/resume errors | 22:54 |
| EvilDaemon | What command do I run to check what hardware I have? | 22:54 |
| rootsnatch | lspci | 22:54 |
| SlimeyPete | EvilDaemon: lspci or lshw | 22:54 |
| rootsnatch | generally helps | 22:54 |
| jimv2000 | lshw rules | 22:54 |

| SlimeyPete | !appdb | 22:54 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 22:54 |

| chubs | it's very simple | 23:27 |
| gukina | Anyone here use crossover? | 23:27 |
| chatticus | To rephrase the question more succinctly, how does the "time 25379ms" stat come to be with per-packet stats of 26-31ms? For example: 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 25379ms. rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 26.377/29.038/31.407/1.766 ms | 23:27 |
| Turl | but there was a tutorial somewhere on ubuntu forums explaining very detailed how to install x86 libs on a chroot so you could tun x865 & x64 simultaneously | 23:28 |
| the_zemo | Ok, another thing I wanted to know is, which graphics driver is best to use? the nvidia-glx or envyng-gtk? | 23:28 |
| rich1987 | gonna try 7.10 ubuntu live cd | 23:28 |

| chubs | Turl, you /can/, but you don't have to | 23:28 |
| Turl | what's faster in app execution? ia32 or chroot? | 23:28 |
| rich1987 | see how well it does | 23:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | the_zemo: the hardy Nivida drivers are broken it seems | 23:28 |

| Turl | rich1987, ubuntu? I'd go for xubuntu or ubuntu-lite (unofficial) for that hardware | 23:32 |
| Scunizi | rich1987: you should be fine.. but why not use Hardy instead? You might consider installing with the Alternate cd | 23:32 |
| the_zemo | scunizi: they seem to work just fine. so I aint going to mess with them. | 23:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scunizi: ,because I have been trying to help a guy that has issues with them, plus other people who have had issues have told me | 23:32 |
| chubs | rich1987, not very, unless you're not running x. try xfce instead of gnome | 23:32 |
| OrangeKyo | how do I find out more about my machine? is there a command to display processor, speed, ram etc? | 23:32 |
| unop | rich1987, gnome wouldn't be the best choice for that configuration. | 23:32 |
| Scunizi | SebNaitsabes: that's not definitive enough to say that they are "broken".. maybe it's just the configuration on the other's machines. | 23:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scunizi: that was slightly wrong, other people who have had issues with them, have told me that | 23:33 |
| rich1987 | i'm currently running ubuntu 5.10 | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: lshw | 23:33 |

| the_zemo | SebNaitsabes: I had problems with them when I was using 7.10, but after getting 8.04 they seem to work fine. | 23:33 |
| b0rkb0rk | that might work | 23:33 |
| b0rkb0rk | but idunno | 23:33 |
| chubs | rich1987, resistant to change? :). it'll install and run, but you'd be better off with a more lightweight desktop environment | 23:33 |
| deever | jrib: ok, thank you! :) | 23:34 |
| Scunizi | SebNaitsabes: doesn't matter.. there are other quirks that might throw the monkey wrench into the video.. bad bios needing update etc.. you just don't know. | 23:34 |
| the_zemo | I just want to know or make sure everything is as it should be. | 23:34 |
| jganetsk2 | is there some kind of gnome configuration center? | 23:34 |
| rich1987 | no i chose 7.10 for the built in ntfs support | 23:34 |
| Scunizi | the_zemo: good for you.. if they work .. don't fix them. | 23:34 |
| wineo | what is sda? and how does it relate to hd? | 23:34 |
| coolio | what does this mean " use 'setkeycodes e073 <keycode> to make it known | 23:35 |
| the_zemo | thank you, Scunizi and SebNaitsabes for your help. | 23:35 |
| jrib | jganetsk2: gnome-control-center or just use your System -> Preferences menu | 23:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scunizi: well the guy I am on about basically the bottom of programs never shows on the screen, and there are likes sections on the screen showing nothing, and he can only have 800x600 now, where as before the drivers he was able to have a resoloution that worked well. and that's the nivida one from ubuntu as well as the opengl one with envng | 23:35 |
| chubs | rich1987, i meant from not having upgraded since 5.10, but i think 8.04 is actually a little lighter on resources than 7.10. could be wrong though | 23:35 |
| erUSUL | wineo: is the first sata disk as seen by linux kernel hd0 for grub on most configurations | 23:35 |
| Scunizi | the_zemo: the difference between 7.10 and 8.04 is that 8.04 introduced xRandr for video control and 7.10 relied more heavily on xorg.conf | 23:35 |
| jganetsk2 | jrib: trying to get into the System -> Prefernences menu of a remote machine | 23:35 |

| SebNaitsabes | !wireless | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:36 |
| the_zemo | talk to ya guys later. | 23:36 |
| wineo | erUSUL: so in my case, i would use sda? or hd0? for my grub configurations? | 23:36 |
| Tulimaq | coolio: what wifi card ? | 23:36 |
| coolio | when I press the function key to get it going if gives this message | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | wineo: depends on the context... what command are you using? and is a shell command or a grub one? | 23:36 |
| coolio | I am told it is intel | 23:36 |
| Scunizi | SebNaitsabes: that's a common problem on some systems. not the fault of the drivers but the setup on install for some reason. Configuring "X" automatically has always been an issue and isn't quite bullet proof yet. On some systems it just requires the right person to help with the diagnostics to fix it. | 23:37 |
| chubs | rich1987, ahh. well, really it doesn't matter. but xubuntu 8.04 would run best of the ubuntu family. I think there's a fluxbuntu project too that wolud run even better | 23:37 |
| coolio | tulimaq: Intel Mini PCI Express Wireless Adapter Product code: 512AN_MMWG | 23:37 |
| Scunizi | rich1987: chubs there's also enlightenment or it's tweeked brother gOS | 23:37 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scunizi: well I been remote connecting this guy nice and securely VNC with SSH tunneling, so I can't actasully see the computer myself, but any idea what to do about it? | 23:37 |

| chubs | Scunizi, enlightenment is far from lightweight, and gOS is just a distro | 23:38 |
| Tulimaq | coolio: ok, and what is your "iwconfig -a" output ? | 23:38 |
| erUSUL | wineo: if you are using the grub shell you have tu use the name grub uses hd0 if you are using grub-install use /dev/sda | 23:38 |

| unop | OrangeKyo, dpkg --print-architecture prints the architecture of your install. | 23:42 |
| Scunizi | chubs: got it.. thanks | 23:42 |
| chubs | Scunizi, , enlightenment might be lighter than gnome or kde, but that doesn't really make it lightweight, it's also much less of an active project | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: you want to know if you have a cpu that supports 64 bits or if you have ubuntu 64 bits installed? | 23:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | Scunizi: by the way do you know aything about 3D WIndows games in Linux? I heard that stuff like Worms 3D will run in Wine for example some how | 23:42 |
| unop | OrangeKyo, i suppose what erUSUL gave you prints the architecture of your CPU, not necessarily the install, | 23:42 |
| CoolFox | i gotts a quick question, anybody got a link for a torrent of ubuntu hardy alternate? | 23:42 |
| Tulimaq | coolio: check "lspci" output ... just to be sure | 23:42 |
| |VoidZero| | So guys... nowadays for a general desktop use the rule is >=4GB -> 64-bit / <4GB -> 32-bit?? | 23:42 |
| CoolFox | i can't seem to find one. | 23:42 |
| OrangeKyo | erUSUL, I want to know if my cpu supports 64 bit, I already know this install is 32 bit ubuntu | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | SebNaitsabes: i run guild wars without a hitch in latest wine | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: grep ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo | 23:43 |
| coolio | tulimaq did that | 23:43 |
| chubs | |VoidZero|, for the most part yeah | 23:43 |
| unop | erUSUL, that gives me nothing - should it? | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: lm stands for long mode == 64 bits if the command outputs a lon line of flags it has 64 bit | 23:43 |
| Scunizi | SebNaitsabes: just depends.. if it needs direct x no it won't run | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: between those flags should be lm | 23:44 |
| coolio | does not list wlan just ethernet controller | 23:44 |
| luigi | i've close the gnome panel in the down... how i can have again? | 23:44 |
| ubuntu | any1 know of any virtual machine programs that have direct x support? | 23:44 |
| pianoboy3333 | Can anyone help? I'm stuck in 800x600 | 23:44 |
| jrib | luigi: right click on the existing panel -> add new panel | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | unop: check the flags line from cpuinfo output the flag that tells if a cpu has 64 bit is lm | 23:44 |

| ubuntu | maby i can get games to run in ubuntu :) | 23:45 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: yep | 23:45 |
| unop | OrangeKyo, I guess | 23:45 |
| Tulimaq | coolio: can u pastebin "lspci" output | 23:45 |
| pianoboy3333 | jrib: yea... thanks, my problem is that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't let me choose all the video stuff in hardy | 23:45 |
| |VoidZero| | in general the only thing I'm afraid of 64-bit is that nspluginwrapper doesn't work flawlessly and to a lesser degree if I need a browser Java Applet that doesn't work with IcedTea :P In this in mind what would you say? | 23:45 |
| luigi | jrib so i had to do a new panel... ther'is no way to have already? | 23:45 |
| OrangeKyo | erUSUL, ok, so if I wanted to use that I would have to get ram greater than 4gb, right? | 23:45 |
| erUSUL | OrangeKyo: mine is 64 bit too quote "... mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp *lm* 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good nopl... " | 23:45 |

| pianoboy3333 | jrib: alright, I'll have to recheck out the wiki | 23:46 |
| unop | OrangeKyo, no, other way around - if you had more than 4GB of RAM, you'd need a 64bit system to use all of it. | 23:46 |
| coolio | can you search for "hilts" on paste, did one earleir | 23:46 |

| kapace | does xubuntu have any limitations? like, can it not run some programs? | 23:55 |
| chubs | kapace, no. | 23:55 |
| kapace | thanks chubs | 23:55 |
| aldaek | Is there a hardy release for nxserver? | 23:55 |
| arooni-pocketpc | is 32bit ubuntu limited to 3.25gb of ram? | 23:55 |
| chubs | kapace, you may have to install libs for kde or gnome for certain programs however. | 23:56 |
| kapace | ill guess ill install it now | 23:56 |
| chubs | kapace, but it's automagic with apt-get so i wouldn't worry | 23:56 |
| kapace | chubs, but do i have to run gnome or kde? | 23:56 |
| aldaek | 32 bit OS can only handle up to 4GB memory. This goes for any video, system or other memory plugged into the computer. other memory as in flash drives. | 23:56 |
| chubs | kapace, no | 23:56 |
| kapace | k | 23:56 |
| kapace | byes ;) | 23:56 |
| === duckers is now known as neuratix | ||
| Tulimaq | arooni-pocketpc: u can recompile kernel to support more ram | 23:56 |
| aldaek | Or recompile. | 23:57 |
| chubs | aldaek, that's simply not true | 23:57 |
| chubs | flash drives are completely separate | 23:57 |
| aldaek | It's true for windows, was not entirely sure for linux. | 23:57 |
| aldaek | flash drives on vista used as memory for hard drives count against that total. | 23:58 |
| jganetsk2 | does any 1 of the 1,300 users here use vnc? | 23:58 |
| jimv2000 | I use remote desktop in ubuntu...which is vnc | 23:58 |
| CppIsWeird | is this a poll? | 23:58 |
| unop | aldaek, are you saying a 32bit OS can't address more than 4GB of flash memory? | 23:59 |
| === marko_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| jatt | vnc is slow | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | arooni-pocketpc: the chunk of memory 32 bits oses steal from the maximum of 4GB depends on the pci memory adress space you are using | 23:59 |
| jganetsk2 | ok | 23:59 |
| jganetsk2 | jimv2000, how do you send shift? | 23:59 |
| jimv2000 | I don't think the 32bit limit has anything to do with ReadyBoost | 23:59 |
| jimv2000 | it should just work | 23:59 |
| jganetsk2 | jimv2000: does it just work for you, have you tried it? | 23:59 |
| jimv2000 | there's nothing special about shift | 23:59 |
| roukoun | hi | 23:59 |
| jimv2000 | yeah | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | arooni-pocketpc: grphic cards use a lot of that pci mem space but othere devices do too | 23:59 |
| jimv2000 | it works for me | 23:59 |
| aldaek | No. I'm saying that vista 32, cannot use more than 4 GB of memory, be it system memory, video memory or flash memory for hard drive caching. | 23:59 |
