| mralexandro | could it be "cairo dock" or compiz or something that makes the system goes slower or could it be virus? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| _Zeus_ | that's cause kde is weird | 00:00 |
| _Zeus_ | compiz could definately slow down your syustem | 00:00 |
| Bsims | Nor wmaker smartypants | 00:00 |
| mralexandro | but a 3gbram 2,4ghz core duo, nvidia 8400m gs, it should handle it right? | 00:00 |

| amt2 | hi, I am having problems with my sound/video. When I use the comptuer after a while, for no apparent reason my videos/sound stop working. It has also happened to me that, say, a firefox active window turns gray, and then it kind of freezes, like if the graphics card were having an issue. Any help? THanks | 00:09 |

| ^Phantom^ | lol | 00:12 |
| ^Phantom^ | - what the world needs is Windows software to snoop on sysadmins | 00:12 |
| badfish | no | 00:12 |
| badfish | windows is shitty enough as it is | 00:12 |
| woli | tyler_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:12 |
| amt2 | woli: ok... but after that happened, other things kind of went wrong too... after a while other windwos were not responsive, and in the end i couldnt open any windows, as if the 'desktop' just wasnt responding | 00:12 |
| genii | badfish: Agreed | 00:12 |
| amt2 | if i opened a terminal, it was all black and I couldn't see what i typed | 00:12 |
| badfish | that's why i switched to ubuntu | 00:12 |
| woli | amt2: like you couldn't drag or anything? not even select icons? | 00:13 |
| Prez00 | i apologize for asking this here, but maybe someone can point me in right direction.. is there a #windowshelp channel somewhere? | 00:13 |
| amt2 | im not sure if dragging, but if i clicked on a window that was minimized, it wouldnt come back | 00:13 |

| mib_upbly9ik | need help with updating ubuntu. can I upgrade to a current derivative (like gOS) from 6.06LTS? | 00:13 |
| Pici | Prez00: ##windows | 00:13 |

| no-sound | no sound, that is | 00:13 |
| woli | badfish: and do not expect to rubb that on ##windows without getting contradicted... is like those dudes were brain-washed to love windows or something... | 00:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: disable desktop effects and see if htey come back. | 00:13 |
| Pici | mib_upbly9ik: gOS is not a derivative of Ubuntu that we support. | 00:14 |
| amt2 | woli: although that doensn't usually happen, it has happened two times now, but the main problem is that video/sound stop working after a while | 00:14 |
| === myles7897` is now known as myles7897 | ||
| Prez00 | Pici: thanks | 00:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | farva: whats your wireless device | 00:14 |
| mib_upbly9ik | Pici ok. what derivatives are supported? | 00:14 |
| woli | amt2: what do you mean with video? the whole screen or impossibility to play videos (like youtube) ? | 00:14 |
| Bsims | they do if I disable desktop effects | 00:14 |
| Pici | mib_upbly9ik: Ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, gobuntu, edubuntu. | 00:14 |
| woli | amt2: what are you using to route audio? PC speakers, a stereo in aux mode.... ? | 00:15 |
| Bsims | but I thought I'd try a blank gnome like a new user would | 00:15 |
| arc_ | why is Linux better than Vista? | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_upbly9ik Ubuntu not derivatives | 00:15 |
| amt2 | woli: for instnace in youtube, if i click play, the video runs for like maybe less than a second, then it doesnt keep playing, as if it were paused | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arc_ offtopic | 00:15 |
| woli | arc_: in every way.... | 00:15 |
| Pici | arc_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic for something like that. | 00:15 |
| Pici | !ot | 00:15 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:15 |
| Bsims | not being able to minimize or maximize things suck | 00:15 |
| amt2 | woli: im in a laptop | 00:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: i just told you something to try.. | 00:15 |
| Bsims | where do I go to do that... | 00:15 |
| woli | amt2: goto system > preferences > sound | 00:15 |
| mib_upbly9ik | Pici gotcha. and can one go to something like gobuntu 8.04 from ubuntu 6.06? | 00:15 |
| Bsims | not famillar with gnome | 00:15 |
| woli | and tell me which mixer are you using... | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: system/pref/appearance/visual effects tab.. set it to none, and see if the toolbars comeback. | 00:16 |
| amt2 | woli: it says HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) | 00:16 |
| Pici | mib_upbly9ik: I suppose, I don't think there is a gobuntu 6.06 though. | 00:16 |
| Bsims | Bingo | 00:16 |
| woli | amt2: in every slot? | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: using nvidia? | 00:16 |
| woli | amt2: sorry. not only the mixer, but every other chooser/slot | 00:17 |
| amt2 | woli: no, i have Autodetect, Autodetect, Autodetect, CONEXANT Analog, HDA intel | 00:17 |
| Bsims | Yeah IndyGunFreak | 00:17 |
| woli | amt2: set everything to alsa | 00:17 |
| mib_upbly9ik | Pici ok, thanks | 00:17 |
| woli | amt2: and test it afterwards | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: try asking in #compiz-fusion I know that "used" to be a problem w/ Nvidia/Compiz.. but honestly, i thought it was resolved.. | 00:17 |
| amt2 | woli: what abotu the 'Device' slot? several say Alsa | 00:18 |
| woli | amt2: leave it as it is (alsa mixer) | 00:18 |
| Bsims | I had to make a selection in the visual settings to get it to take | 00:18 |
| Bsims | Now it works | 00:18 |
| amt2 | woli: ok... done | 00:18 |
| woli | amt2: it is already in alsa | 00:18 |
| sexcopter | hi, does anyone know of any packages for transcribing handwriting to text? I just got a wacom tablet working :) | 00:18 |
| woli | amt2: did the tests work fine? | 00:18 |
| Bsims | I should probably report a bug because thats reallly annoying | 00:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: its not a bug. | 00:19 |
| ^Phantom^ | do i even need a software firewall for ubuntu if i already have a hardware one? | 00:19 |
| phantomcircuit | Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 00:19 |
| amt2 | woli: no, they dont. I get: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. | 00:19 |
| Bsims | IndyGunFreak: well I'd file it under wishlist | 00:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bsims: whatever... | 00:19 |
| woli | amt2: i used to get that error.... | 00:19 |
| amt2 | woli: how did you fix it? | 00:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | k thx | 00:20 |
| Bsims | Hrm while I am thinking about it... I can play videos full screen in vlc under gnome, but can not under kde, or wmaker | 00:20 |
| woli | amt2: trying to remember... | 00:20 |
| axeus | When I put my system into standby, upon resume compiz doesn't function properly under KDE. My shadows become messed up. | 00:20 |
| hasanibrahim | is there anyone?? | 00:20 |
| woli | amt2: are you in hardy (8.04) ? | 00:21 |
| phantomcircuit | Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? | 00:21 |
| amt2 | woli: chances are if i rebooted and did the tests, they would work with the new settings... | 00:21 |
| amt2 | woli: yes | 00:21 |
| hasanibrahim | i added a domain in plesk panel and i want to see this in my local computer | 00:21 |
| woli | amt2: do that... | 00:21 |
| hasanibrahim | i hope i couldn explain | 00:21 |
| lawnninja | Does anyone have experience with dmraid? | 00:21 |
| amt2 | woli: but i think ive done that and i got a different error after a while, so i just switched back. i don't remember what the error was tho | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | farva: do you kno what wireless device you have | 00:21 |
| hasanibrahim | There is a folder in Windows/system32 called hosts and i was adding domain name and ip adress than it was working | 00:21 |
| hasanibrahim | but now, i am using ubuntu and don't know how to do this | 00:22 |
| hml | how do you cleanly shut down a machine when "# halt" just returns (as root) | 00:22 |
| Bsims | I can play videos full screen in vlc under gnome, but can not under kde, or wmaker, any ideas | 00:22 |
| woli | amt2: nvm, do it to see what happens... those settings work right away, but maybe it can do a change in your case... | 00:22 |
| kindofabuzz | hml, shutdown -h now | 00:22 |
| _Zeus_ | hml: sudo shutdown -h now | 00:22 |
| amt2 | woli: ok... let me try it... brb | 00:22 |

| hml | kindofabuzz , _Zeus_ that also just returns | 00:22 |
| AlienX | anyone know of a strange issue where an extra interface shows up after a reboot? | 00:22 |
| lawnninja | I'm having issues loading my raid 5 array on ich9r, ran dmraid to install using live cd but once rebooted won't mount anything or load the kernel | 00:22 |
| kindofabuzz | hml, shutdown -P now | 00:23 |
| phantomcircuit | Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? | 00:23 |
| AlienX | errr extra network interface | 00:23 |
| hml | logged in as root, both "halt" and "shutdown -h now" do nothing -- they just return; is there a way I can tell the linux kernel to flush all disks + shut down? | 00:23 |
| Macrosoft | hml, shutdown -P now will power off the machine after it halts | 00:23 |
| kindofabuzz | hml, sudo shutdown -P now, and read over man shutdown | 00:23 |
| hml | kindofabuzz Macrosoft : shutdown -P now <-- also just returns | 00:23 |

| aeolien | Hey! I'm trying to write to an external NTFS drive, but it is apparently read-only. I don't have write-access to the files or folders, but chmod isn't working. Any ideas? | 00:26 |
| amt2 | woli: actually if i close the youtube vidoe, now the tests are working | 00:27 |
| danielm_mc | aeolien: mybook ? | 00:27 |
| Macrosoft | aeolien, ntfs usually mounts with root being the owner, so you need to use sudo | 00:27 |

| danielm_mc | ianq yes | 00:28 |
| ianq | danielm_mc: what's the point of swap if the system's using all my ram and running slow? :wonder: | 00:28 |
| thiebaude | brenda:it sure is | 00:29 |
| aeolien | Macrosoft: No, sudo simply tells me "chmod: changing permissions of `dcpp': Read-only file system" | 00:29 |
| woli | amt2: only if you close it? | 00:29 |
| ianq | Brenda: it depends on what you plan on using ubuntu for | 00:29 |
| aeolien | danielm_mc: No, Lacie | 00:29 |

| Macrosoft | aeolien, you'll have to umount, then mount it as rw | 00:29 |
| chris____ | is it a known bug that freshly installed programs dont show up in their applications folder although editing the main menu shows all tickboxes correctly? | 00:30 |
| woli | dr3mro: you have to restore/fix your xorg.conf | 00:30 |
| Brenda | ianq:watchin films, writing code and various other things | 00:30 |
| konbonwa | maybe | 00:30 |
| * genii wonders why you'd want to remove the Gnome logo from Gnome | 00:30 | |
| aeolien | Macrosoft: When I try to umount it, the device is busy. I'm having trouble finding whatever is using it | 00:30 |
| woli | dr3mro: do this: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:30 |
| broken_ | genii: well cause it doesn't fit ^^ | 00:30 |
| ianq | Brenda: films and writing code is pretty platform independent. you'd be fine switching | 00:30 |
| woli | dr3mro: either fix it, or use the restoration comand provided in the file | 00:31 |
| Macrosoft | aeolien, does the drive have a led that flashes when it is busy? is it flashing? | 00:31 |
| woli | amt2: if you open it again it stops working? | 00:31 |
| lacy | just a question how do you make the 3d cube change your desktop ? | 00:31 |
| Brenda | ianq: evrything and anything i can really and i have seen the support u get from wineapp as well and i am quite impressed by it all | 00:31 |
| aeolien | Macrosoft: No led, but I can hear it when it's being used. It's very idle right now | 00:31 |
| ianq | Brenda: go ahead and switch then ;) | 00:31 |
| woli | lacy: go to System > Preferences > Advance Desktop.... | 00:31 |
| thiebaude | brenda:i could do anything in ubuntu that i could do in windows | 00:31 |
| clint_ | hey folks, how can i convert a .3gp to mpg | 00:31 |
| woli | lacy: then look for the cube and its settings | 00:32 |
| Macrosoft | aeolien, then you should be able to force it to unmount by adding "-o force" to the end of your umount command | 00:32 |
| amt2 | woli: the sound is working if i watch a youtube vidoe, but the tests throw the error if i do them while playing the vidfeo. if i close the video, then the tests work. | 00:32 |
| woli | amt2: all of them? | 00:32 |
| ianq | how do i check what graphic card my system is running? | 00:32 |
| Brenda | thieblude: that sounds great i think i might do it now!:P | 00:32 |
| Macrosoft | aeolien, without the quotation marks, that is | 00:32 |
| amt2 | woli: actually, i just opened and close the video again, and now the tests dont work, none of them | 00:32 |
| thiebaude | brenda:i run ubuntu with fluxbox | 00:32 |
| amt2 | woli: oh, but it may be becuase i need to close and open again the sound preferences window | 00:33 |
| amt2 | woli: now they're all wokring again | 00:33 |
| woli | amt2: you either reask or search for solutions online, because i'm not an expert, and do not remember how i fixed that... | 00:33 |

| amt2 | woli: someone directed me to a forum that had the same solution as you have, swithc eveyrhtign to ALSA | 00:34 |
| woli | amt2: if you have not modified your xorg.conf for anything, i would suggest you to reset it | 00:34 |

| Ketrel | What do I need to install to get a wireless connection GUI for Gnome? | 00:35 |

| dr3mro | woli, u did reset it but nothing -xorg.conf | 00:35 |

| aeolien | Macrosoft (sorry): Odd... I get this: "umount2: Device or resource busy" followed by that same line | 00:36 |
| amt2 | woli: so should i do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' ? | 00:36 |
| Macrosoft | aeolien, what device is it? | 00:36 |
| aeolien | Macrosoft; Should be /dev/sdc2 | 00:36 |

| woli | amt2: do it | 00:36 |
| dr3mro | woli, i did and its the same | 00:36 |
| woli | dr3mro: the same as amt2's ? | 00:37 |

| myles7897 | like, when I scroll, using the middle button while on the desktop I switch workspaces, same thing happens when typing. or on a website it'll scroll to the top. | 00:44 |
| dr3mro | woli, http://paste.ubuntu.com/47915/plain/ | 00:44 |
| Slokunshialgo | IndyGunFreak: Somehow never thought of that, but it's old enough it's hard to find any downloads on their official site | 00:44 |
| _Zeus_ | Ketrel: are you using x/k/ubuntu? | 00:44 |

| DCPom | i saw your message | 00:45 |
| Slokunshialgo | bill_bill: just make sure it as "ppc" in place if "i386" | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | bill_bill: if you get the right image, but Ubuntu stopped support for the PPC after 7.10, might be better to loook at Debian Etch | 00:45 |
| bill_bill | cool now i have a use for my old G3 | 00:45 |

| Slokunshialgo | bill_bill: You still have a G3? How old is that thing? | 00:45 |
| myles7897 | DCPom, I have not, I figured it was the system, cause it has not always happened, it started recently. | 00:45 |

| DCPom | myles7897, if it's started recently it could be the mouse getting old, though it may be system | 00:46 |
| Ketrel | _Zeus_ ultimately I want to autostart something, but I do wish to get to the control center | 00:46 |

| woli | dr3mro: do you have terminal available ? | 00:47 |
| ompaul | desaints, mostly to do with /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:47 |
| DCPom | OS9, lol | 00:47 |
| Ketrel | _Zeus_: then 1. what the heck is the gnome-control-center program, and 2 what's this: http://lunapark6.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/gnomecontrolcenter-00.jpg | 00:48 |

| DCPom | sudo reboot is my favorite command | 00:50 |
| _Zeus_ | lol | 00:50 |
| aeolien | Macrosoft: Nope... | 00:50 |
| ompaul | desaints, you get more familiar with the install process and become more comfortable with the whole lot - an interesting experience if nothing else | 00:50 |
| woli | dr3mro: reboot! | 00:50 |
| amt2 | woli: something weird happened with this reboot, it seems like my display in general looks different... ie, some effects are not showing up... say when i close a terminal, before it has like some 'fade out' effect, now it's not there | 00:50 |

| ChazZz | i think it was the illegal-ness... | 01:04 |
| ChazZz | :) | 01:04 |
| zburns | Running Trinity Rescue Kit at a remote host and cannot connect to it (it is running SSHD) and I've verified password is ok. how can i check why it fails | 01:04 |
| Macrosoft | >_> | 01:04 |
| bill_bill | i dont think its illegal i own a mac | 01:04 |
| Macrosoft | <_< | 01:04 |
| _Zeus_ | (08:02:56 PM) bill_bill: can i install mac osx on a pc with a intel cpu without modding the kernel | 01:04 |
| _Zeus_ | sounds illegal to me | 01:04 |
| onx | i don't think it's illegal if you /don't/ mod it | 01:05 |
| ChazZz | i think you have to modify some things... | 01:05 |
| badfish | can you legally buy mac osx? | 01:05 |
| badfish | without it comin on a pc? | 01:05 |
| badfish | how do i do commands that start with #? | 01:05 |
| reportingsjr | To rip DVDs what would you guys reccomend? | 01:05 |
| amt2 | woli, so with regards to the sound, do you think it is a bad sign that the tests still fail if i try them at the same time? | 01:05 |
| ianq | anyone know how to turn on direct rendering? | 01:05 |
| _Zeus_ | badfish: i think you can | 01:05 |
| badfish | required step: # mkdir /usr/share/cups/model | 01:05 |
| Denise | and here too | 01:05 |
| woli | amt2: yes. my tests work unconditionally | 01:06 |
| CalJohn_ | reportingsjr: acidrip if you just want to do it quickly, but learning the codecs and mencoder if you want to really understand it | 01:06 |
| reportingsjr | I would like to rip and burn dvds, but I don't know how to burn them. (ripping is easy enough) | 01:06 |
| _Zeus_ | ianq: pastebin the output of glxinfo (if you have a nVidia card) or fglrxinfo (for ATi) | 01:06 |
| bill_bill | well mac osx is based off bsd so it should run on i pc i never said i was to do it just asking my freind said he did it but i dint belive him | 01:06 |
| CalJohn_ | reportingsjr: if you want to burn, k3b is nice | 01:06 |
| phantomcircuit | Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? | 01:06 |
| badfish | how do i: # mkdir /usr/share/cups/model | 01:06 |
| badfish | where does the # symbol fit into it all? | 01:06 |
| CalJohn_ | bill_bill: see osx86 and hackintosh etc | 01:06 |
| reportingsjr | badfish: (hash) is a comment | 01:06 |
| _Zeus_ | badfish: that means run it as root (with sudo) | 01:06 |
| Macrosoft | bill_bill, it wont run on a pc because it checks for a certain piece of hardware only macs have | 01:06 |
| badfish | i see | 01:07 |
| reportingsjr | Macrosoft: dongle :) | 01:07 |
| bill_bill | o | 01:07 |
| _Zeus_ | reportingsjr: that means run as sudo when on a command like that | 01:07 |
| reportingsjr | _Zeus_: ah, really? | 01:07 |
| ldiamond | I need help to install Ubuntu on a Raid card. I have compiled the driver (a .ko), but I dont know how to use it or include it in the install... | 01:07 |
| CalJohn_ | Macrosoft: that can be subverted, in case you aren't aware | 01:07 |
| KenBW | anyone know of a plugin for Deskbar for running terminal commands? | 01:07 |
| reportingsjr | badfish: nevermind then, run as sudo when you see a hash! | 01:07 |
| _Zeus_ | reportingsjr: generally, yes. assuming he was supposed to run that | 01:07 |
| _Zeus_ | if it was in a script, that would be a comment. but I'm guessing he's following a poorly-written guide | 01:08 |
| Macrosoft | CalJohn_, he was talking about it working out of the box, without any extra work | 01:08 |
| ianq | _Zeus_: i've got an intel card | 01:08 |
| hotmonkeyluv | quit | 01:08 |
| hotmonkeyluv | oops | 01:08 |
| amt2 | woli, sorry, did you get my previous msg? interestingly enough, out of nowhere a black screen covered my monitor and i haad to reboot.. | 01:08 |
| badfish | now i have to create a symbolic link | 01:08 |
| _Zeus_ | ianq: oh... i don't know what to do then | 01:08 |
| ianq | _Zeus_: thanks anyways. i found plenty of stuff on ATI and nvidia, but older intel cards seem to be tricky ;) | 01:09 |
| Denise | u just have to copy chats | 01:09 |
| Denise | in other rooms | 01:09 |
| badfish | poorly written | 01:09 |
| Denise | and ad ur dialogs in it | 01:09 |
| badfish | http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/before.html#004 | 01:09 |
| badfish | that's what i'm following | 01:09 |
| danbh_intrepid | ianq: have you checked the help..ubuntu.com wiki? | 01:10 |
| badfish | if i get it to work i'll update the bot | 01:10 |
| solomeh | I was following the instructions on the MacBook wiki page to get right-click working with xmodmap, but it didn't work and now my down arrow key is broken. How can I get my down arrow back? | 01:10 |
| woli | amt2: nope | 01:10 |
| Denise | the point is | 01:10 |
| danbh_intrepid | solomeh: I assume you could delete your xmodmap, right? | 01:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | ok I am going to need some help here, otherwise this guy that I am remote connecting probably wil just wipe Ubuntu, and go back to Windows in the end | 01:10 |
| Macrosoft | solomeh, this isnt a mac os x channel | 01:10 |
| Denise | how many you need to be | 01:10 |
| ianq | danbh_intrepid: i'm just reading on ubuntu forums. someone had a suggestion there | 01:10 |
| amt2 | woli, so do you think the sound tests not working simultaneously is a bad sign? | 01:10 |
| solomeh | Macrosoft: No, it's a damn ubuntu channel and I have an Ubuntu question. | 01:11 |
| badfish | ia32libs or lib32stdrc is required to be installed. | 01:11 |
| badfish | how do i check for this? | 01:11 |
| Macrosoft | solomeh, its also a no profanity channel | 01:11 |
| danbh_intrepid | ianq: still, you should check the help.ubuntu.com wiki. If the answer is there, great. If not, suck. If you find it later, please update help.ubuntu.com, for future reference | 01:11 |
| solomeh | danbh_intrepid: Okay I deleted the .xmodmap file, so how can I get the down arrow working again? | 01:12 |
| solomeh | Macrosoft: shut up | 01:12 |
| CalJohn_ | Macrosoft: stop being rude | 01:12 |
| badfish | ia32libs or lib32stdrc is required to be installed. | 01:12 |
| badfish | how do i check for this? | 01:12 |

| dr3mro | woli , i found the solution | 01:12 |
| ldiamond | I need help installing ubuntu. I need to include a driver that I compiled in the install (for my RAID card) | 01:12 |
| Macrosoft | CalJohn_, im not the one using language and telling people to shut up | 01:12 |
| dr3mro | sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 01:12 |
| woli | amt2: yes. definitly. My tests work unconditioanlly | 01:12 |
| woli | dr3mro: what did you do/ | 01:12 |
| dr3mro | standard server reconfig it amd all willl work | 01:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Macrosoft and the rest.. DROP IT | 01:13 |
| onx | ldiamond, you wanna boot off a raid? | 01:13 |
| badfish | help | 01:13 |
| dr3mro | removes dpi=86 in sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and made it 96 | 01:13 |
| dr3mro | it worked fine | 01:13 |
| badfish | ia32libs or lib32stdrc is required to be installed. | 01:13 |
| ldiamond | onx, Ideally, but its not necessary | 01:13 |
| badfish | how do i do this? | 01:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dr3mro Dont sudo a gui app. it is dangerous | 01:14 |
| dr3mro | and shutdown and restart came nack :) | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo > dr3mro | 01:14 |
| ubottu | dr3mro, please see my private message | 01:14 |
| dr3mro | its gedit | 01:14 |
| _Zeus_ | dr3mro: use gksu instaead of sudo | 01:14 |
| dr3mro | ok | 01:14 |
| dr3mro | ok | 01:14 |
| dr3mro | thnx | 01:14 |

| dr3mro | for tip | 01:14 |
| solomeh | danbh_intrepid: I'm a bit worried about it not working because I never ran xmodmap when I started X11 | 01:14 |
| amt2 | Does Desktop Wall only allow you to have 2 desktops at a time? | 01:14 |
| solomeh | So I don't think simply deleting the xmodmap file and restarting X11 will work | 01:14 |
| dr3mro | any on here tried slackware | 01:14 |
| amt2 | ie, switching between only 2 desktops? | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dr3mro Offtopic | 01:15 |
| onx | ldiamond, if it's just about loading the driver at startup and you ran the usual make && make install routine, just put a line in /etc/modules | 01:15 |
| badfish | ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems | 01:15 |
| badfish | logan@logan-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 01:15 |
| badfish | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 01:15 |
| danbh_intrepid | solomeh: well, don't look to me for answers. Restarting X will take you 30 seconds, so the easiest way to find out is... | 01:15 |
| danbh_intrepid | badfish: run the suggested command! | 01:16 |
| dr3mro | ok | 01:16 |
| _Zeus_ | badfish: run sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:16 |
| DrX | what's the safest & easiest way to do a bare-metal backup Linux to an external USB disk drive or DAT tape drive for restore to a different SAS hard drive (controllers overwrite new drives with a different, unique ID)? | 01:16 |
| danbh_intrepid | solomeh: oh, and by delete, maybe I should have said, rename. That way, you can go back... | 01:16 |

| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:17 |
| myles7897 | I'm sharing a printer connected to Ubuntu with two windows computers, one has trouble connecting and all I have to do is reinstall it and it is fine for a day, is this ubuntu problem, and how can I solve it? | 01:17 |
| badfish | myles7897: more info | 01:17 |
| _Zeus_ | myles7897: if reinstalling fixes it, then i think it's windows | 01:17 |
| myles7897 | badifsh: which info do you need? | 01:17 |
| _Zeus_ | esp if the other one works fine | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !wubi > dr3mro | 01:18 |
| ubottu | dr3mro, please see my private message | 01:18 |
| dr3mro | i installed ubuntu by wubi how to resize root image and move it toother partiton | 01:18 |
| badfish | does csh or tcsh come with ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| myles7897 | yeah, I was afarid of that, but before I jump to ##windows, could it be my network, the one that has trouble is wireless laptop? | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dr3mro see the link for wubi help | 01:18 |
| dr3mro | where is that | 01:18 |
| Cheeky | nvm | 01:18 |
| Cheeky | stupid mistake | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dr3mro see pm from the bot | 01:18 |
| _Zeus_ | myles7897: i doubt it..... | 01:19 |
| myles7897 | _Zeus_, thanks for the info | 01:19 |
| jedimindtrick | im attempting to set a shortcut key to open up a terminal, i want to use SUPER + T; but every time i hit super, it just assigns it as super ... how do i work around this ? | 01:19 |
| badfish | what is csh/tcsh in terms of linux? | 01:19 |
| _Zeus_ | badfish: what is csh? | 01:19 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: shells | 01:20 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: old ones, really | 01:20 |
| _Zeus_ | badfish: use xterm or gnome-terminal? | 01:20 |
| danbh_intrepid | jedimindtrick: have you tried gnome-do? I've never tried it myself, but I heard a positive remark about it | 01:20 |
| badfish | one of the 2 is required for this printer | 01:20 |
| jedimindtrick | danbh_intrepid: not sure how that applies ? | 01:20 |
| badfish | step 6/8 for the linux solution | 01:20 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: so install tcsh | 01:21 |
| arrrghhh | has anyone installed rtorrent and rtgui before? | 01:21 |
| danbh_intrepid | jedimindtrick: its more advanced shortcut thing for gnome, which I assumed you were using | 01:21 |
| mralexandro | when i deactivate window decoration i get no titlebar, any suggetions? | 01:21 |
| arrrghhh | mralexandro, i think that happened to me, i turned off compiz and it was OK. | 01:21 |
| _Zeus_ | mralexandro: run metacity --replace to turn off decorations | 01:21 |
| badfish | i was searching apt-cache for tsch instead of tcsh | 01:22 |
| mralexandro | ok thanks | 01:22 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: be aware, you would do better following an distro-specific guide than a generic "linux" or "unix" one released by and third party like brother | 01:22 |
| mralexandro | but will that deactivate cube as well? | 01:22 |
| spiritssight | is there a program to use Plaxo in ubuntu | 01:22 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: unless you already know one doesn't exisst | 01:22 |
| badfish | i checked the ubuntu forum and the bot | 01:22 |
| _Zeus_ | mralexandro: it will... | 01:22 |
| badfish | the forum sent me to this site | 01:22 |
| danbh_intrepid | jedimindtrick: nvm, im testing now, and I think Im wrong... | 01:23 |
| badfish | the bot told me nothin | 01:23 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: fair enough | 01:23 |
| badfish | if this works, i'm gonna send something to the ops so they can update the bot and post on the forum | 01:23 |
| amt2 | how can i increase the number of workspaces i can use with Desktop Wall? Right now I can only use two. | 01:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | badfish and I told you it was doubtful you would get that scanner working on that printer | 01:23 |
| badfish | i just got linux working like 5 hours ago | 01:23 |
| Ketrel | what's the name of the program that's launched from gnome's network configuration where you configure wireless | 01:23 |
| kitche | badfish: csh and tcsh are shells it doesn't matter about them really since they have nothing to do with your printer | 01:23 |
| _Zeus_ | Ketrel: nm-applet? | 01:23 |
| spiritssight | Does any one know of a prgram that would allow plaxo to sycn with evolution | 01:24 |
| spiritssight | ? | 01:24 |
| _Zeus_ | what is plaxo? | 01:24 |
| arrrghhh | i'm getting a compiler segfault when i try to compile the newest rtorrent (libtorrent specifically). are there precompiled binaries with xmlrpc wrapped into it? | 01:24 |
| onx | ldiamond, did you test if it works yet? i.e. insmod /path/to/module | 01:24 |
| spiritssight | online address book | 01:24 |
| badfish | i still use gnome quite a bit | 01:24 |
| Ketrel | _Zeus_, not that one, and not gnome-network-preferences either | 01:24 |
| _Zeus_ | then i dunno... | 01:24 |
| badfish | i'm not worried so much about scanner | 01:25 |
| jedimindtrick | danbh_intrepid: apparently compiz lets me assign it like that no problem | 01:25 |
| badfish | i barely use it i can go back to windows for that | 01:26 |
| myles7897 | is there a guide to switching from cups to samba? | 01:26 |
| danbh_intrepid | jedimindtrick: compiz? | 01:26 |
| badfish | but out of curiousity, why wouldn't i get the scanner to work? | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | badfish Poor drivers | 01:26 |
| badfish | i see | 01:26 |
| CalJohn_ | badfish: imo, because most printers have terrible drivers | 01:26 |
| badfish | well vista is at least bearable in any event | 01:27 |
| badfish | i'm already liking linux though | 01:27 |
| badfish | haven't had ubuntu freeze or hang or give me a hard time once | 01:27 |
| _Zeus_ | :D | 01:27 |
| SRJanit0r | wellI'll be damned | 01:27 |

| YEM | getting my wireless to work on ubuntu makes me want to jump off a cliff | 01:41 |
| danbh_intrepid | _Zeus_: /etc/hosts is just a dns file. I think the correct file is /etc/hostname and both need to be changed for sudo to work... | 01:41 |
| DxC | YEM - So far, I agree. | 01:41 |
| Daft_Punk | YEM, dont do it! | 01:41 |

| RawSushi | question... how do I turn my bass down? my speakers don't have a bass volume on them | 01:46 |
| brolly81 | !offtopic | _Zeus_ | 01:46 |
| RawSushi | and the bass and treble in the mixer are dead | 01:46 |
| Kolma | and my problem is... i hate firefox, cant stand the thing and so i downloaded opera, however the problem is that flash wont work on opera and im not sure how to fix it, i have flash installed and it works on firefox just not opera :( | 01:46 |
| YEM | nice thx guys | 01:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brolly81 Please dont, he knew it was a mistake | 01:46 |
| _Zeus_ | brolly81: what? i said it was an accident | 01:46 |
| _Zeus_ | i guess ubottu doesn't like to yell at me :P | 01:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kolma ask the people that made it | 01:47 |
| Daft_Punk | lulz what the? | 01:47 |
| amon_ | i need to know how to uninstall backports please | 01:47 |
| bobertdos | In an attempt to aid people's aid of brolly81, I will restate from earlier that alsamixer lists no chip for his sound device. Also, apparently, none of the volume bars have values. | 01:47 |
| _Zeus_ | amon_: oh, i'm not sure. | 01:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bobertdos which is why I sent him to /j #alsa | 01:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | amon_: use synaptic. I think its the easiest way | 01:48 |
| YEM | if you don't mind me asking what does the "sudo" command actully mean? | 01:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 01:48 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 01:48 |
| YEM | thx | 01:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | what does the k in gksu stand for? | 01:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo > YEM | 01:49 |
| ubottu | YEM, please see my private message | 01:49 |
| amon_ | danbh_intrepid: what do do in synaptic? | 01:49 |
| brolly81 | ive tried everything | 01:49 |
| danbh_intrepid | amon_: do you know the package(s) you are trying to downgrade? | 01:49 |
| TornadoChas3r | ok i figured out the command i used to mess this up i type cd /home/ircd/unreal& ./unreal start | 01:49 |
| YEM | hey jack | 01:49 |
| brolly81 | went to recommended website followed everything step by step and nothing seems to work | 01:49 |
| YEM | ok | 01:49 |
| TornadoChas3r | and now it wont exectue | 01:49 |
| iFvwm | !apache | 01:50 |
| 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+) | 01:50 |
| YEM | how do i log off the regular sudo then? | 01:50 |
| brolly81 | my volume on my panel wont adjust volume but i can hear sound | 01:50 |
| bobertdos | Jack_Sparrow: You know, the ops here are always so on top of things. I've told Flannel you guys deserve more credit than you get. | 01:50 |
| danbh_intrepid | TornadoChas3r: what does the command jobs say? | 01:50 |
| amon_ | danbh_intrepid: now, i enabled the whole backports repository and then accidentially upgraded | 01:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TornadoChas3r try cd /home/ircd/unreal & ./unreal start | 01:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bobertdos we try | 01:51 |
| TornadoChas3r | ok | 01:51 |
| TornadoChas3r | But after i typed that first command i got this | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YEM close the terminal window | 01:51 |
| danbh_intrepid | amon_: hmmm, well, it might be a pain in the but. Are you sure you want to do that? backports is usually pretty safe.. | 01:51 |
| TornadoChas3r | root@Server2:/home/ircd/unreal# cd /home/ircd/unreal& ./unreal start | 01:51 |

| FloodBot3 | TornadoChas3r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:51 |
| bobertdos | brolly81: Truth be told, given the value of card in Alsamixer, I'd almost suggest buying a separate card, perhaps one that's more of a mainstream brand. | 01:51 |
| YEM | its wierd, i double click an exe file, thinking that it'll open up the gui just like windows but nothing happens. | 01:51 |
| Daft_Punk | I can't get virtualbox to work it says its missing some modules or something | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TornadoChas3r the first part changes folders/directories | 01:52 |
| danbh_intrepid | TornadoChas3r: you need to have 2 &, not 1. so && | 01:52 |
| EvilDaemon | _Zeus_: Uh, my hostname didn't change, and here's the output from 'sudo gedit hosts' | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Daft_Punk Did you get it from repos or install it yourself | 01:52 |
| RawSushi | anyone have any idea how to turn the bass volume down in ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| jrib | Daft_Punk: you're more likely to get help if you pastebin exact error messages | 01:52 |
| RawSushi | the bass and treble switches do not work in the mixer | 01:52 |
| EvilDaemon | max@hitachi-toshibaiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooii:/etc$ sudo gedit hosts | 01:52 |
| EvilDaemon | sudo: unable to resolve host hitachi-toshibaiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooii | 01:52 |
| TornadoChas3r | I just need it to go back to normal i was just seeing waht command i couse to for start up and i etered a & | 01:52 |
| amon_ | danbh_intrepid: just tell me how, i'm curious and my system feels a bit unstable | 01:52 |
| TornadoChas3r | not it wont exectue i will try what u said | 01:52 |
| danbh_intrepid | EvilDaemon: ok, I can help you | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danbh_intrepid two makes it wait for the first to complete before going on to the next command | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TornadoChas3r try just ./unreal start | 01:53 |
| EvilDaemon | okay, because it's also taking a minute or two to load anything. | 01:53 |
| danbh_intrepid | Jack_Sparrow: isnt that what he wants? change folder, the run the executable. At least, thats what I thought | 01:53 |
| TornadoChas3r | Jack_sparrow It wont work anymore | 01:54 |
| brolly81 | bobertdos: i just installed ubuntu a week ago and reinstalled it. when i came on to this chat room someone gave me the solution in matter of mins. i just dont rememeber all the steps the dude gave me | 01:54 |
| TornadoChas3r | it wont execute the program | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danbh_intrepid agreed but a single should work as it is only changing a directory and not performing any real task or op | 01:54 |
| YEM | I'm so newb at this, sucks ): | 01:54 |
| brolly81 | bobertdos: its not the soundcard its a soundblaster which apparently ubuntu supports | 01:55 |
| TornadoChas3r | I just dont know what i did | 01:55 |
| TornadoChas3r | lol | 01:55 |
| bobertdos | EvilDaemon: First of all, always run graphical applications with gksudo when you need root privileges. Second, you might just want to fix that graphically via System->Adminstration->Network->Hosts if you can open it. | 01:55 |
| TornadoChas3r | so i dont know how to explain it | 01:56 |
| ForestBear | guys I have arbitrary ports opening in the unregistered ports | 01:56 |
| danbh_intrepid | Jack_Sparrow: I don't know for sure, but if he is changing directory to get to the desired executable, then I don't think it will work. Because it will try to execute before the cd actually happens, and result in a command not found | 01:56 |
| ForestBear | and port 15000 is open | 01:56 |
| ForestBear | why? | 01:56 |
| danbh_intrepid | EvilDaemon: you ready? | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danbh_intrepid He ran the first command and got the folder so running the second should find the ap | 01:57 |
| bobertdos | brolly81: That IS a soundcard in my vocabulary. So, it's a soundblaster, what model? | 01:57 |
| EvilDaemon | well wtf? in Network > hosts, it says 127.0.1.1 is hitachi-toshiba, but terminal doesn't register it at all | 01:57 |
| EvilDaemon | after reboot too | 01:57 |
| Daft_Punk | hmm | 01:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | EvilDaemon lose the rude shorthand.. thanks | 01:57 |
| EvilDaemon | sorry | 01:57 |
| Daft_Punk | what is a good program to mount .iso files | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !iso | 01:58 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 01:59 |
| bobertdos | EvilDaemon: I imagine it's case sensitive. Do you have the case right? | 01:59 |
| Daft_Punk | Jack_Sparrow, i want a gui one, not command line | 01:59 |
| brolly81 | bobertdos: soundblaster xtreme fidelity | 01:59 |
| EvilDaemon | yeah. | 01:59 |
| danbh_intrepid | EvilDaemon: well, ready or not, here is how to fix it. Reboot in rescue mode. Edit /etc/hostname to your desired hostname next, edit /etc/hosts so there is a line for your hostname, like this: 127.0.1.1 hostname Everything should then work. Good luck | 02:00 |
| EvilDaemon | thanks. | 02:00 |
| EvilDaemon | this was a fresh install, too. | 02:00 |
| ForestBear | guys why are random ports opening at greater than 49000? | 02:00 |

| ForestBear | 8.04 | 02:01 |
| ForestBear | jack_sparrow: hardy heron | 02:01 |
| zaid | Anyone know if a Windows apps running in WINE (in this case, Windows Media Player) can access the ext3 file system it is inside of? | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ForestBear go to grc.com and do the shields up test | 02:02 |
| Kolma | 8.04 i had prob with ;-;, my wifi worked b4 it and thn afterwards it wouldnt :/ so i stuck with 7.1 | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zaid Really bad idea to do that | 02:02 |
| brolly81 | bobertdos its not the soundcard, at least i dont think it is, its more of the program and the settings of the volume panel. what i need to configure to make it work so it can adjust volume | 02:02 |
| ForestBear | jack_sparrow it doesn't really scan above 45000 | 02:02 |
| zaid | Jack Howso? | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ForestBear I thought it used to let you set a range | 02:02 |
| ForestBear | jack_sparrow: I was wrong, some ports are opening at 45000> | 02:02 |
| ForestBear | *< | 02:03 |
| Daft_Punk | would it be a good idea to install a firewall like firestarter or antivirus like avast? what are some other options for firewall? | 02:03 |
| brolly81 | !paste | 02:03 |
| 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) | 02:03 |
| danbh_intrepid | ForestBear: is it a single port? I know transmission uses something like 53754 | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zaid It would let windows viri and trojans corrup[t your ext3.. | 02:03 |
| ForestBear | jack_sparrow above 1024 it is only 64 at a time max | 02:03 |
| brolly81 | !help | 02:03 |

| ForestBear | danbh_intrepid: no, random ports open and close | 02:03 |
| zaid | Oh, so I would have to go to the trouble of installing antivirus software. | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brolly81 please /msg ubottu privately | 02:04 |
| bobertdos | brolly81: true enough | 02:04 |
| Supercarteluo | I been loading ubuntu for a while now i'n stock, say, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$... the installation didn't start at all... | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Supercarteluo # 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 "--" | 02:04 |
| zaid | Thing is, Amarok corrupted by MTP music player's firmware last time I tried to sync music to it, and my music collection is on my ext3 partition. | 02:05 |
| bobertdos | brolly81: Are you on a 32 or 64-bit system? | 02:05 |
| airtonix | Jack_Sparrow, if you look inside the winecfg you can see the gui for associating a windows drive with a ext3 folder... | 02:05 |
| brolly81 | bobertdos 64, i think | 02:05 |
| ForestBear | why are my ports open?? | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | airtonix It does not make it safe to do so.. | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ForestBear where are you seeing the ports open and close | 02:06 |
| carandraug | Daft_Punk: I do fine without both of them. Ubuntu already comes with a firewall called iptables | 02:06 |
| bobertdos | brolly81: There is a blog post that says there are alsa compatible drivers for your line on 64-bit........ | 02:06 |
| ForestBear | jack_sparrow when I portscan myself using network tools | 02:06 |
| Supercarteluo | Jack_sparrow, if i load the live cd it doesn't do anything, the screen goes white... so i'm trying the install option and get up to there, i gonna try that anyway... | 02:06 |
| airtonix | Jack_Sparrow, have you wiped the ones in your list? | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | airtonix what? | 02:07 |
| bbyever | how do you modify the Places menu? | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Supercarteluo if you dont get a first screen that says start or install youy have a badcd or a bad burn or bad download | 02:07 |
| danbh_intrepid | ForestBear: try netstat -l | 02:07 |
| airtonix | Jack_Sparrow, you said you dont think its safe to associate drives inside wine with folders on your ext3 drive...i wonder have you removed all the associations lists in the winecfg on your setup? | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | airtonix I wont even use wine.. | 02:08 |
| hyrlvl | would anyone have any idea why xmodmap just flat out wouldnt work? | 02:08 |
| carandraug | bbyever: I think System > Preferences > Main menu | 02:08 |
| hyrlvl | the command goes through | 02:08 |
| hyrlvl | it was working for a while | 02:08 |
| hyrlvl | then just stopped | 02:08 |
| hyrlvl | the keys I assigned just do nothing | 02:08 |
| zaid | Jack: I need wine for gaming anyway, it's one of the main reasons I owna computer | 02:08 |
| hyrlvl | this is a fresh install of the latest ubuntu on a macbook pro | 02:08 |
| ForestBear | danbh_intrepid: what do you want to see from that command? | 02:08 |
| bbyever | carandraug: i tried that already but it only allows you to edit Application and System menus :( | 02:09 |
| Storrgie | Is anyone using Xinerama with 3 monitors? | 02:09 |
| jrib | hyrlvl: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying | 02:09 |
| airtonix | zaid, i wouldnt worry about virus using wine....most if not all win32 virus require other libs that wont be present | 02:09 |
| hyrlvl | i want to see the keys i assigned performing the function i've assigned them to | 02:09 |
| danbh_intrepid | ForestBear: I actually don't understand its output, but I believe its supposed to show what programs are listening on what ports, ie open ports | 02:09 |
| damasceno | I configure my dhcpd.conf, The basic: http://pastebin.com/m5d678e0e, what i need make, for my network be UP? I have 4 computers here, my computer is the server with dhcp. | 02:09 |
| _Zeus_ | hyrlvl: do you have it set to do it on startup? | 02:09 |
| danbh_intrepid | ForestBear: but its a bit jiberrishh to me | 02:09 |
| ForestBear | danbh_intrepid lol | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | airtonix there are lots of things to worry about when you run wine.. is Z mapped etc. are you running wine as regular user/root | 02:10 |

| pcorr | I am new to Ubuntu and tried to connect to a wireless connection at my local library. I right clicked the network manager and I did not see the connection listed.

| bbyever | How do you change the Places menu? | 02:13 |
| carandraug | pcorr: "iwlist scan" | 02:13 |
| Daft_Punk | bbyever, you can't but you can make it into a single icon (like windows start menu) | 02:13 |
| Bsims | Solved my problem with vlc... compiz has to be running to go full screen | 02:13 |
| pcorr | sorry, I am completely clueless, what does "iwlist scan" stand for? | 02:13 |

| ubottu | Kolma, please see my private message | 02:13 |
| bbyever | Daft_Punk: how into a single icon? | 02:13 |
| carandraug | pcorr: it's a command to run in the terminal. Applications > Acessories > Terminal | 02:14 |
| airtonix | zaid, if you are really worried about virus, i would be running that sync operation inside virtual machine. | 02:14 |
| pcorr | ah, excellent. do i simply do that when I am in the library next carandraug? | 02:14 |
| ForestBear | help?? | 02:14 |
| Daft_Punk | bbyever, you have to right click on the applications/system/places menu and REMOVE from panel, then on some blank panel space, right click and go to add to panel. Then choose "main menu" | 02:15 |
| carandraug | pcorr: it will only scan for wireless networks, nothing more. Does your wireless work in other places? | 02:15 |
| zaid | airtonix Honestly I'm not too worried about viruses, NoScript + common sense browsing goes a long way | 02:15 |
| Kolma | bobertos | 02:15 |
| bbyever | Daft_Punk: ah, but that would just move the menu? | 02:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !info clamav | 02:16 |
| pcorr | carandraug, yes it does. At home (though I use a wired connection) I can see other wireless networks. At the library, nothing shows up. When I did use vista (shudder) I could see and connect to the library wireless network. | 02:16 |
| ubottu | clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.92.1~dfsg2-1.1ubuntu0.2 (hardy), package size 873 kB, installed size 1336 kB | 02:16 |
| carandraug | bbyever: there's a difference between main and ubuntu menus. Also, have you tried right on click on Places and select "Edit menu"? | 02:16 |
| Daft_Punk | bbyever, it will put everything under 1 menu like the windows start menu, but you cant edit the icons on places like you can on the applications menu (as far as i know) | 02:16 |
| wooboy77 | hey guys! | 02:16 |
| DxC | Heh...Me again...The wireless saga continues, I *think* I've got it working, I just need to know how to tell ubuntu to prefer my wifi connection over my ethernet | 02:17 |
| DxC | if that's possible | 02:17 |
| zaid | YEM AV software is useful ffor disinfecting files before they are sent to Windows machines, however | 02:17 |
| wooboy77 | i'd like to have a higher resolution than 1280x1024 | 02:17 |
| DxC | I'd rather not unplug the ethernet, heh. | 02:17 |
| wooboy77 | but i can't why? | 02:17 |
| bbyever | carandraug: yeah, that just takes you to the Main Menu application | 02:17 |
| christoph3307_ | mh | 02:17 |

| pcorr | carandraug: I think so, as everyone else has no problem seeing and accessing it. | 02:18 |
| bbyever | Daft_Punk: ah ok. Well, what i wanted to do was remove a bookmark from the places menu itself. Im fine with the way the menus are arranged though... Maybe a bug should be filled about this... | 02:18 |
| carandraug | bbyever: ok. I had to ask 'cos I get an error when I try that (because I'm using Intrepid and have loads of problems) | 02:18 |
| Daft_Punk | bbyever, oh just edit your bookmarks by opening a folder, going to bookmarks and edit them | 02:18 |

| bbyever | Daft_Punk: ah, i see. thanks! | 02:19 |
| YEM | any clue as to why this would happen? | 02:19 |
| bbyever | carandraug: :) | 02:19 |
| carandraug | pcorr: so, in a normal day, you would just turn the computer on, connect to that wireless network without entering any kind of password ever (not even in the first attempt) and you'ld be ready to freely surf the web? | 02:20 |
| ForestBear | why are my ports opening? | 02:20 |

| ubottu | ForestBear, please see my private message | 02:20 |
| pcorr | carandraug: Correct, though today when I failed, it was the first time I tried with Ubuntu. Previously I'd simply view wireless connection and connect. There was never any sort of password or security. | 02:20 |
| carandraug | Jack_Sparrow: I know. I have the problems but I'll fix them with time. I was just pointing bbyever the menu and telling why I couldn't guide him further through the menu | 02:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ForestBear it isnt normal and it almost has to be something you installed yourself or ran | 02:21 |
| ForestBear | lol how do I figure out what it is, jack_sparrow? | 02:21 |

| ForestBear | well that wasn't very helpful :( | 02:23 |
| ForestBear | well cya later. | 02:23 |
| pcorr | carandraug: I ran it and got this: lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wlan0 No scan results | 02:24 |
| carandraug | badfish: you move it "mv /original_name /new_name" | 02:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | badfish gksudo nautilus is one way, but it can be dangerous, use it then close it immediately | 02:24 |

| DxC | hey guys, I want to use ssh from my ubuntu machine to access my remote server, where would I put the ssh key file? (I don't have keyboard interactive login enabled, I just use a SSH key) | 03:37 |
| phpcurious | nickrud: hmm ok let me check that out. thanks for the help | 03:37 |
| dsnyders | SebNaitsabes, not necessarily. Just Plot(x,y,color) kind of stuff. | 03:37 |
| jobevers | i think I'm going to go crazy trying to set-up dual monitors. | 03:38 |
| jrib | DxC: you're asking where you would put it on the server? | 03:38 |

| DxC | jrib - no where I would put it on my laptop.. | 03:38 |
| DxC | I'm kinda used to windows/putty | 03:38 |
| DxC | where you have a file stored locally | 03:38 |
| DxC | and then something on the server-side as well. | 03:38 |
| DxC | Wondering if it's the same on ubuntu | 03:39 |
| rigel | hi, i'm having problems playing dvds | 03:39 |
| jrib | DxC: the ssh client looks at ~/.ssh/id_rsa by default. But you can configure more with ~/.ssh/config | 03:39 |
| DxC | Okay | 03:39 |
| DxC | thanks :D | 03:39 |
| jrib | DxC: on the server you put it in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 03:39 |

| dsnyders | SebNaitsabes, what is the 2d animation program? | 03:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | dsynders: synfig and I suggest getting it from the site since Ubuntu repo is probably quite a lot out of date for it | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | tengulre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 03:41 |
| rigel | it just hangs and the drive keeps spinning when i try and play a dvd in totem or vlc | 03:41 |
| nickrud | pawan, cd ~/.xchat2 , that'll put you in the dir. Then any logs would be in the xchatlogs dir there | 03:41 |
| pawan | ok | 03:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | dsnyders: I put your name werong look above if you did not alreay read | 03:42 |
| dsnyders | Jordan_U, I was thinking of possibly python, but I know almost nothing about it. Does it come in an interpreted environment, or is it compiled? | 03:42 |
| rigel | python can be pseudocompiled | 03:42 |
| rigel | but its interpreted too | 03:42 |
| rigel | its script-ish | 03:42 |
| dsnyders | SebNaitsabes, synfig. Got it. I'll take a look at it later. | 03:42 |

| nickrud | goose, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will reconfig X to defaults, without asking questions | 03:52 |
| KiR_6667 | im following a tutorial and it just says to type "su", I tried "sudo" but it requires peramiters (sp) | 03:53 |
| bobertdos | KiR_6667: Which is to say, root is dangerous, and we would rather people not take the risk. | 03:53 |
| nickrud | KiR_6667, use sudo -i then | 03:53 |
| sniper | hello | 03:53 |
| AdEbTa | hey, what's the best way to format a pen drive on Ubuntu? | 03:54 |
| bobertdos | KiR_6667: sudo uses your usual user password, any other parameter belongs to the command you're invoking. | 03:54 |
| sed8me | AdEbTa: if you have the gui going i'd use partition editor from the system/administration menu | 03:54 |
| KiR_6667 | how do i create a folder in a protected area once ive used sudo -i? | 03:54 |
| nickrud | AdEbTa, and if you don't see it there, install gparted (it'll be there then) | 03:54 |
| goose | I dont think that will work because sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and xfix cause a black screen to come up instead of the flashing login/console which doesn't accept any keyboard input | 03:54 |
| nickrud | KiR_6667, if you do sudo -i, you have a root terminal. then mkdir /path/to/folder | 03:55 |

| duderino | so is cino the best or any other options like final cut? | 04:02 |
| bobertdos | Dragondef: Well, if you did it with the JDK, I guess you already know how careful you have to be. Just know that not all programs (and more importantly, they're dependencies) are as easily relocated. | 04:02 |
| nickrud | emhs, I use a bcm4311 and the native b43 driver works like a charm. I used the one from restricted driver manager | 04:02 |

| hosstest | also, can someone PM me the code needed to write an executable script to run a prg in a new X session? | 04:10 |

| spiritssight | Can someone tell me how to del double files | 04:10 |
| oswado | spiritssight--> what do you mean double files? | 04:11 |
| {Matteo} | you could md5 all the files and delete duplicate md5 hashes X-D | 04:11 |
| spiritssight | I have pictures and some ok alot are doubles, I want a easy way to just keep one copy only | 04:11 |
| KiR_6667 | does anybody know mozilla (firefox's) default installation directory in ubuntu? off-hand? | 04:12 |
| spiritssight | I want to check the my home folder and its subfolders and get rid of the doubles | 04:12 |
| iFvwm | spiritssight: gqview | 04:12 |
| dsnyders | Dragondel, Are your drives partitioned using LVM? | 04:12 |
| {Matteo} | the binary is usually in /usr/bin | 04:12 |

| nickrud | goose, what I see that gets my attention is lines 439-549, the monitor setup. | 04:13 |
| arooni-ppc | does intel p43 mobo have good linux compatibility? | 04:13 |
| bobertdos | KiR_6667: and the library files, including the plugins are usually in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1 | 04:13 |
| nickrud | goose, this is a laptop? | 04:13 |
| goose | yea, a tablet | 04:13 |
| spiritssight | this gqview will allow me to automatic get rid of doubles | 04:14 |
| Dragonde1 | No, I don't believe that it did. But, I could be wrong. | 04:14 |
| goose | the monitor is a Samsung ltn140w2-l02 but i cant find the vsync or horizrange | 04:14 |
| iFvwm | spiritssight: can compare those pic, and select to delete. | 04:15 |
| nickrud | phpcurious, huh. I don't even see a wireless device there (or don't recognize one). Is it usb? (lsusb shows usb devices) | 04:15 |
| bsusa | hello, is their a way of adding multiple video files at once with DeVeDe? If so how? | 04:15 |
| Styles | Hey, I need to have libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 be installed, yet I can't find the lib that works. It saids another one is already in there. | 04:15 |
| spiritssight | so does this mean I would see the two pic and just del one myself or can it do it for me | 04:15 |
| phpcurious | nickrud: really? that's weird | 04:15 |

| solomeh | pulseaudio is screwing up my Ubuntu MacBook's sound (Sigmatel STAC9221) and I kill the process and Amarok can actually play a song finally | 04:16 |
| iFvwm | spiritssight: install it. and try. look at the menu items. duplicate pic can be found. | 04:16 |
| nickrud | goose, I'm not sure then. But I'd say getting some resolution info would be a start. | 04:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | Oneword: you enable the Vino server in System -> Admin -> Remote Desktop | 04:17 |

| iFvwm | SchmittyDoesIt: blusefish / nvu | 04:17 |

| Oneword | LSD|Ninja, I am using tightvnc | 04:17 |
| nickrud | goose, and to be honest, I know little to nothing about the vga driver (libxf4bpp.so) | 04:17 |
| redvamp128 | archive.canical.com/ubuntu hardy partner to you third party software in your sources.. | 04:17 |
| redvamp128 | they have a much larger library then the main | 04:17 |
| nickrud | phpcurious, in order to get it working in ubuntu, we need to identify exactly what we're working with | 04:18 |
| bsusa | does anyone know of any recommended programs for creating dvds using mpeg files? | 04:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | Oneword: No idea then, I've only really messed with what's provided in GNOME | 04:18 |
| bobertdos | solomeh: Only one application can have control of the sound resources at a time under Pulse -- an unfortunate bug. You can switch everything over to ALSA an try it that way if you wish. | 04:18 |
| Dragonde1 | dsnyders: No, I don't see any evidence of that | 04:18 |
| solomeh | bobertdos: How do I switch it all over to ALSA? | 04:19 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | thanx iFvwm | 04:19 |

| tengulre | hi,all ! how to auto running a app when I login in gamin desktop ? | 04:19 |
| dsnyders | Dragonde1, LVM would have allowed you to span from one hard drive to the other. | 04:20 |
| SerdasTeclas | I, can someone help me? I'm trying to make my tablet screen work, I tried a lot of tutorials on the forum and from google but so far I can't make it work | 04:20 |
| bobertdos | solomeh: System->Preferences->Sound (and sometimes if you have to), gksudo gstreamer-properties (from the terminal). | 04:20 |
| dsnyders | Dragonde1, but, since you don't have it installed, we'll have to look at other options. | 04:20 |
| phpcurious | nickrud: just for clarification. why is it that it cannot detect my wireless builtin . I did this laptop dual-boot so when i boot on windows it can detect wireless networks. so I cannot say there is no wireless in my laptop. | 04:20 |
| hosstest | can someone please help me with nano and executable scripts? | 04:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | phpcurious: what wifi chip? | 04:21 |

| nickrud | Oneword, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (start to start it again) | 04:22 |
| phpcurious | nickrud: so you mean to say wireless in ubuntu is still... gasp! | 04:22 |
| SerdasTeclas | wacom tablet, hp tx2510... anyone wanna try? | 04:22 |
| nickrud | phpcurious, heh. | 04:22 |
| nickrud | phpcurious, feisty took a bit of work for me, gutsy just a bit, and hardy worked out of the box. bcm4311 | 04:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | nickrud: Ubuntu is better than a lot of distros wrt wireless. Wireless troubles aren't a problem unique to Ubuntu, it affects Linux as a whole | 04:23 |
| _Zeus_ | Oneword: press Ctrl+Alt+Bksp | 04:23 |
| carandraug | hosstest: what's exactly your problem? | 04:23 |
| nickrud | LSD|Ninja, yeah, I should have said linux instead of ubuntu. | 04:23 |
| LSD|Ninja | nickrud: With the right chip, It's install and go with wireless on Ubuntu | 04:23 |
| nickrud | LSD|Ninja, yep. Read back for my experience ;) | 04:23 |
| spiritssight | Please help I am not finding how to search the folders using gqview, I need to get ride of like 300ish doubles (pictures) | 04:23 |
| _Zeus_ | I have installed on many laptops and wireless always was out-of-the-box | 04:23 |
| nickrud | _Zeus_, right chipset for you | 04:24 |
| dsnyders | Dragonde1, Basically what you have to do is create a mount point for the external, move a folder onto it, then remount the external as that folder. | 04:24 |
| chubs | _Zeus_, not everyone is so lucky | 04:24 |
| LSD|Ninja | _Zeus_: What wifi chip/s? Intel and Atheros are the big two for OOB success | 04:24 |
| _Zeus_ | LSD|Ninja: Thinkpads (i think atheros or intel) and toshibas with external proxin cards | 04:24 |
| nickrud | atheros 5007 anyone? | 04:25 |
| carandraug | spiritssight: you copied them by accident and they are in the same folder, you can order them by date and erase the bottom | 04:25 |
| Dragonde1 | I thought about that, I was looking into it, but the issue is how to remount as a different folder. [sorry, lazy] | 04:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | nickrud: 5007 is a newer one, it's not entirely Ubuntu's fault for the trouble there | 04:25 |
| dsnyders | Dragondel, You edit your /etc/fstab file. | 04:25 |
| YEM | ok so i follwed the route of updating my firmware, i installed the packages and such that the website told me to, yet my card still isn't being recognized in network settings or "edit wireless networks" | 04:25 |
| YEM | where should i go from here? | 04:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | nickrud: b/g Atheros are usually fine | 04:26 |
| nickrud | LSD|Ninja, no, it's not anyone's fault, but we see the problem here. (or if anyone's, the manufacturer for releasing out of ubuntu schedule ;) | 04:26 |
| _Zeus_ | :P | 04:26 |
| YEM | I had a broadcom card btw | 04:26 |
| devin | hi how do i set the sudo to allow root to run restart chilli from PHP | 04:27 |
| bsusa | hello, is their a way of adding multiple video files at once with DeVeDe? If so how? | 04:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | nickrud: I said not entirely Ubuntu's fault. ubuntu didn't bump madwifi between Gutsy and Hardy so a few Atheros chips that should have been supported weren't. The drivers are also going through a change upstream. Hopefully though, it'll be mostly sorted out by Intrepid | 04:27 |

| spiritssight | how can I tell fdupes to keep on copie and del all the rest | 04:31 |
| nickrud | phpcurious, wireless is not really my strong suit. That's why I'm trying to drag someone else in. And I never disagreed about you having it, I just don't recognize the chip :) | 04:31 |
| LSD|Ninja | I can't say I see anything that looks like a wireless chip jump out at me | 04:32 |
| LSD|Ninja | It looks like a cheap laptop though, maybe it's a USB device? | 04:32 |
| nickrud | phpcurious, does lsusb return anything? You may have an internal usb wireless | 04:32 |
| Dragondef | dsnyder: This is where I get stuck. /media/WD Passport is the original mount point, so I unmount it. Then, what do I write in my fstab file | 04:32 |
| phpcurious | lsusb says something | 04:33 |
| phpcurious | nickrud: im so sorry. i didn't mean to say that. i meant to say just to inform you. | 04:33 |
| carandraug | hosstest: so what's exactly your problem? I can tell how to make the script executable if that's your problem | 04:33 |
| hosstest | I know how to do that, as far as making the script and what to put in it I dont know about. | 04:33 |

| MTecknology | bsusa: give me a second | 04:58 |

| jay | can anybody help me? I can't load pdf's in firefox. | 05:05 |
| _Zeus_ | jay: sure. does it say anything? | 05:06 |
| MTecknology | jay: little more detail please? | 05:06 |
| jay | it just shows a blank page in the browser window. | 05:06 |
| jay | Maybe I don't have the right stuff installed to view pdfs. | 05:07 |
| MTecknology | jay: or something extra | 05:07 |
| MTecknology | jay: I had the problem before and i t went away after i uninstalled something, but that was about a year ago | 05:08 |
| Crashedata | how do I change the permissions to a folder so Wordpress can write the wp-config.php file, and process uploads? I know it is chmod something, but I don't know what. | 05:08 |

| Nallep | how do I get an applet in AWN to display? I downloaded and installed the Cairo Clock applet, and put it in the Active applets, but I don't see it on the main AWN bar | 05:08 |
| jay | MTecknology: it used to, but after I tried to fix it by installing/uninstalling some things, it just shows up blank. | 05:09 |
| dsnyders | Crashedata, man chmod | 05:09 |
| MTecknology | Crashedata: chmod xxx file 1=execute, 2=read, 4=write - pick the permissions for the file, and add them up - order is user group other | 05:09 |
| Crashedata | I just want to give read, write and execute permissions to EVERY thing in the /var/www/ directory. I know there is a way to do it with chmod, but this is the first time I have used linux in about 7 years. | 05:11 |
| MTecknology | Crashedata: give user full permission, and group/other read only is chmod 744 file | 05:11 |
| jay | What do you have installed to view pdf's? | 05:11 |
| _Zeus_ | MTecknology: you reversed write and read. 2=write, 4=read | 05:11 |
| MTecknology | Crashedata: ^^ what _Zeus_ said | 05:11 |
| ambrose_ | hey guys what is a good irc for apache2 | 05:12 |
| Crashedata | I am still confused. | 05:12 |
| MTecknology | jay: I'm not really sure what you need to install to read inside of firefox | 05:12 |
| _Zeus_ | ambrose_: what do you mean, irc for apache? | 05:12 |
| MTecknology | _Zeus_: irc server? | 05:13 |
| ambrose_ | freenode and such | 05:13 |
| iFvwm | Crashedata: add youself to www-data group? | 05:13 |
| ambrose_ | so i can ask a couple of questions | 05:13 |
| ambrose_ | irc channel i mean | 05:13 |
| Crashedata | I will try, but again, i have not done that stuff in a long time. Not sure I can remember the commands. | 05:13 |
| MTecknology | Crashedata: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod | 05:13 |
| iFvwm | ambrose_: #apache | 05:14 |
| ambrose_ | lol u can use chown | 05:14 |

| YEM | but MT i tried that and it still didn't work out for me | 05:17 |
| YEM | i think i'm about ready to conceed defeat and get a new wifi card thats easily compatable | 05:17 |
| jessid | hello. i need to speed the boot precess. i think that recompiling the kernel without the unnecesary drivers would be a good starting point. Do you have any other suggestions????? | 05:17 |
| YEM | all of the guides i'm finding are out of date or don't work so i think i'm pretty much sol | 05:18 |
| MTecknology | dr3mro: It's a common issue - it'll be fixed someday - improvement has been substantial | 05:18 |
| MTecknology | YEM: what exactly is the problem? | 05:18 |
| ambrose_ | always check on the distro websites for clues | 05:18 |
| jessid | !boot | jessid | 05:18 |
| ubottu | jessid, please see my private message | 05:18 |
| MTecknology | jessid: disable extra services | 05:18 |

| MTecknology | ndiswrapper then | 05:19 |
| RenzoreK | Why do mencoder, and acid-rip packages say "BREAK" if I request to have them installed? | 05:19 |
| jessid | MTecknology i can do that using system > adminstration > services , right??? | 05:19 |
| MTecknology | I remember that | 05:19 |
| dr3mro | no i dont have the option is disappeared today after system crash | 05:19 |
| MTecknology | jessid: bum | 05:19 |
| dr3mro | MTecknology, It was working but disappeared today | 05:19 |
| MTecknology | dr3mro: odd... | 05:20 |
| ambrose_ | hey does any one know how to get an apache2 webserver to be viewed but outsides? | 05:20 |
| ambrose_ | not just locally | 05:20 |
| ambrose_ | any one | 05:20 |
| ambrose_ | lol | 05:20 |
| YEM | i tried using ndiswrapper but since i'm a newb to ubuntu its really me playing a guessing game and blindly follwing different guides that don't seem to work | 05:20 |
| jessid | MTecknology mmm perfect! thanks! | 05:21 |
| dr3mro | i did modify gdm.conf to enable shutdown that was not working and it was fixed but system freeze and restart it dont have hibernate | 05:21 |
| MTecknology | jessid: there's another one, but it's pretty advanced and could kill you're system pretty easily | 05:21 |
| lawnninja | So I resolved my dmraid problem by including dm-raid45 in the hook folder of initramfs, but when I boot the kernel is seems to only mount my root partition and not my /usr, /home/, /var, or /boot which are each on their own partition | 05:22 |
| lawnninja | I checked fstab and it looks correct | 05:22 |
| dr3mro | is there option in ubuntu to enable and disable it | 05:22 |
| lawnninja | sudo isn't working from the commandline | 05:22 |
| MTecknology | dr3mro: inside gconf-editor | 05:22 |
| bsusa | MTecknology: I just tried out: "cat M2U00229.MPG * M2U00236.MPG > Video.MPG" and it join all the file together. But im just wondering when the final file is created it is 50 mb larger, is this normal? | 05:22 |
| lawnninja | I can login to my user account but that's it | 05:22 |
| MTecknology | bsusa: what did you do * for? | 05:23 |
| jessid | MTecknology which one you reffer to??? | 05:23 |
| bsusa | its simpler | 05:23 |
| bsusa | is * bad? | 05:23 |
| MTecknology | bsusa: * takes everything in the current workinf directory | 05:23 |
| bsusa | yeh thats fine | 05:23 |
| bsusa | i put only those files in it | 05:24 |
| MTecknology | bsusa: that more than likely includes part of the file you're pushing too | 05:24 |
| MTecknology | to* | 05:24 |
| bsusa | ahh ok | 05:24 |
| lawnninja | Any ideas? | 05:24 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: error? | 05:25 |
| lawnninja | it's not mounting my other partitions | 05:25 |
| lawnninja | so most of the commands on the commandline aren't recognized | 05:25 |
| bsusa | i mean their has to be another way instead of creating a script every time you want to join files | 05:25 |
| MTecknology | YEM: I've had issues with ndiswrapper before. Try with the latest 8.10 alpha cd. See if it works better | 05:25 |
| lawnninja | mount is only listed my root partition | 05:25 |
| lawnninja | listing | 05:25 |
| dr3mro | MTecknology, It is enabled | 05:26 |
| jessid | MTecknology whick option you said it was very dangerous for the system???? | 05:26 |
| lawnninja | I need to mount like 4 more partitions | 05:26 |
| lawnninja | but I can't use sudo since it's currently not recognized | 05:26 |
| MTecknology | jessid: if you disable or alter the wrong service, your system won't boot | 05:26 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: do you have which working? | 05:26 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: which sudo | 05:26 |
| lawnninja | just sudo mount | 05:27 |
| lawnninja | says sudo is not recognized | 05:27 |
| jessid | MTecknology mmm I understand. So i better test in VirtualBox. Thanks man! | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: do "sudo mount" | 05:27 |
| jessid | good bye | 05:27 |
| lawnninja | I can login to the user account I created during install | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | jessid: good idea ;) | 05:27 |
| lawnninja | sudo: command not found | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: do "sudo mount" and tell me the output | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: "which sudo" sorry | 05:27 |
| jessid | MTecknology thanks a lot!!! good bye! | 05:27 |
| iFvwm | lawnninja: excute "id" now | 05:28 |
| lawnninja | my other partitions aren't mounted | 05:28 |
| iFvwm | if your account is id=1000? | 05:28 |
| lawnninja | I need to be root to mount them | 05:28 |
| lawnninja | ifvwm: that command didn't work | 05:28 |
| iFvwm | be sure you are in admin group. | 05:29 |
| iFvwm | ... | 05:29 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: execute "which sudo" | 05:29 |
| bsusa | MTecknology: I used a different output folder for the final file, still the same size, does it add extra space on it when it converts the files? | 05:29 |
| MTecknology | bsusa: convert? | 05:29 |
| iFvwm | which commands you can excute? most can not? lawnninja | 05:29 |
| MTecknology | bsusa: cat doesn't convert anything | 05:29 |
| rams666 | lawnninja: what is the problem? | 05:29 |
| bsusa | sorry joins | 05:29 |
| lawnninja | mtecknology: which sudo returns blank results | 05:30 |
| YEM | Mtecknology I believe i installed the driver, should i try a restart now to see if the wireless connection comes up? | 05:30 |
| lawnninja | why didn't my other partitions get mounted from /etc/fstab when I booted | 05:30 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: what about if you execute "/usr/bin/sudo" | 05:30 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: wanna give us a minute to figure out some other thigns | 05:30 |
| rams666 | lawnninja: whed did u created them? | 05:31 |
| lawnninja | mtecknology /usr is on another partition in my raid array which isn't mounted for some reason | 05:31 |
| MTecknology | YEM: good luck | 05:31 |

| dn4 | are we just oscillating in a sea of positive and negative energy? | 05:31 |
| dn4 | Riders on the Storm | 05:31 |

| lawnninja | so I need to figure out why it didn't mount them | 05:31 |
| MTecknology | yup | 05:31 |
| lawnninja | I noticed uuid lines in fstab | 05:31 |
| lawnninja | do I need those? | 05:31 |
| iFvwm | MTecknology: if he got a error PATH, i think some error would be shown. | 05:32 |
| MTecknology | lawnninja: pastebin your fstab file | 05:32 |

| WarHero | hey guys. I have a major problem. I used to run a dual boot with windows xp and ubuntu, but when I was repartitioning everything from the XP side, I accidentally overwrote my ubuntu partition. Now when I boot, GRUB 1.5 has error 17 and I can't boot into windows to fix my partitions. | 05:49 |
| MTecknology | Devlon: you're not going to learn much more than likely - just gotta play | 05:50 |
| danbh_intrepid | Devlon: show me the command, and I will adjust it for you, the way you want | 05:50 |
| lawnninja | ok, I see where your going with that | 05:50 |
| danbh_intrepid | WarHero: can you reinstall ubuntu? | 05:50 |
| Oneword | iFvwm, how? | 05:50 |
| smm289 | lol no one wants to commit to a yes hu, well screw it, im deleting it | 05:50 |
| WarHero | not if I want most of my gfiles | 05:50 |

| danbh_intrepid | WarHero: other option is to boot with the windows cd, into a recovery mode? and run fixmbr | 05:51 |
| iFvwm | Oneword: if you just want open another X, then gdmflexiserver is simple one. and Xnest also can get it. | 05:51 |
| WarHero | Damn, I was hoping I would not have to go searching for that cd | 05:51 |
| WarHero | thanks :D | 05:51 |

| nick[] | Whenever I boot from my Ubuntu (8.04) CD, it gives me the menu where I select my language and choose what I want to do. I choose to install Ubuntu, and it goes to the Ubuntu progress bar/bouncy thing. Stays there a while, then it loads some basic shell (TinyBox I think was the name) and sticks there without progressing. I looked through the command list for this shell and none of the provided commands seemed to allow me | 06:19 |

| goose | leme boot into xp to check but i'm pretty sure 128 | 06:47 |
| rebel_kid | flannel, not much just memory usage (% or mb is fine) cpu usage would be helpful but not neccesary | 06:47 |

| chetnick | chubs: i installed CS in wine, when i start game, it is in very small window. can i get it bigger somehow? | 06:48 |
| rebel_kid | desaints, possible power supply, when i tried to access my ntfs partitions with a bad ps it froze | 06:48 |
| Flannel | rebel_kid: You can grep that (ps aux | grep foo) to just return lines with foo in it. | 06:48 |
| zedster | hotmonkeyluv: wait, who did you get the xp cd from, Microsoft, dell. etc..? | 06:49 |
| rebel_kid | flannel, that went over my head | 06:49 |
| goose | i'll post the entire log 1 sec | 06:49 |
| Flannel | rebel_kid: what process are you looking for? | 06:49 |
| desaints | rebel_kid: if i accidently changed the mount point when i installed ubuntu again would that affect me opening it | 06:49 |
| hotmonkeyluv | zedster: dell | 06:49 |
| chubs | chetnick, I don't know. did you tab-complete to the wrong name? | 06:49 |
| zedster | hotmonkeyluv: if you call dell they should actually have the key for you on file | 06:49 |
| desaints | rebel_kid: even though it shows everything inside it freezes when i open it | 06:49 |
| zedster | it might even be in the ticket report when you put in your service code | 06:49 |
| chetnick | chubs: didn't you tell me that you play WoW online? | 06:49 |
| thunderdan | can i share files between two computers using samba and just an ethernet cord between them? | 06:49 |

| danbh_intrepid | zedster: for dell computers, the cd key is on a sticker on the side of the computer... | 06:50 |
| rebel_kid | desaints can freeze ur comp all day, does it just freeze the app or the whole computer | 06:50 |
| Elive_user39 | anyone know how to youtube download as MP3? | 06:50 |
| zedster | danbh_intrepid: crap, forgot about that | 06:50 |
| desaints | rebel_kid the psu is perfectly fine | 06:51 |
| desaints | rebel_kid it worked until i installed ubuntu again | 06:51 |
| desaints | rebel_kid and it only freezes that window | 06:51 |
| zedster | Elive_user39: just use a recored program, play the video and recored the audio off of it | 06:51 |
| chubs | Elive_user39, there's probably a firefox extension for it | 06:51 |
| desaints | rebel_kid and i can force the window to close | 06:51 |
| Elive_user39 | youtube2mp3 - i found it . http://youtube.43.gs | 06:51 |
| Elive_user39 | thanks | 06:51 |
| chetnick | ]K[^Omegadoom: i installed CS in wine, when i start game, it is in very small window. can i get it bigger somehow? | 06:51 |
| chetnick | :) it was him | 06:51 |
| desaints | chetnick you can change the settings in wine to force a bigger window | 06:51 |
| Elive_user39 | is there any tool for ubuntu? like on windows the realplayer can download any flashvideo | 06:51 |
| rebel_kid | desaints, hmmm then the guys here r ur best bet, if u can force quit it its not ps, maybe some stupid setting, forums and someone else here are ur best bet | 06:51 |
| desaints | go to applications, wine, configure wine | 06:52 |
| desaints | and set it there | 06:52 |
| Elive_user39 | fiddling with live-http-headers is nothing for my dad | 06:52 |
| ]K[^Omegadoom | chetnick: Which game? | 06:52 |
| danbh_intrepid | Elive_user39: try a firefox extension | 06:52 |
| chetnick | ]K[^Omegadoom: counter strike | 06:52 |
| chetnick | condition zero | 06:52 |
| rebel_kid | flannel, so how do i do it? | 06:52 |
| danbh_intrepid | chetnick: thats a wine question, either check the appdb or ask in #winehq | 06:52 |
| desaints | anyone know if you change the mount point on an ntfs partitioned hd will it affect your ability to open the drive?? | 06:52 |

| chubs | desaints, ntfs support is not at the kernel level, it's in userspace with ntfs-3g. you'll need that installed before you can do much with an ntfs drive | 06:53 |
| chubs | !ntfs | 06:54 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 06:54 |

| desaints | chubs no i installed the full ubuntu onto the 10gb partition on the 500gb sata | 07:02 |
| nick[] | goose: i figuerd | 07:02 |
| goose | i'll set it to 24 and see what happens | 07:02 |
| nick[] | i was wondering if it wasn't expecting that ;) | 07:02 |
| chubs | desaints, you can't partition a drive that you're using | 07:02 |
| desaints | well it worked on the first ubuntu which was installed on the partition i made on the drive | 07:03 |
| desaints | now that i have installed ubuntu on the first hd, the 200gb drive and removed ubuntu from the 500gb hd partition it wont access the 500gb hd files area anymore | 07:03 |

| nick[] | goose: what card do you have | 07:06 |

| Slart | I've just installed ubuntu jeos in virtualbox and during the install I had networking disabled for some stupid reason.. when I enable networking in virtualbox I don't get any interfaces in my virtual ubuntu.. can I somehow do what the installer usually does?

| chubs | goldmetal, I honestly don't know, i've just heard amsn works better with msn than pidgin | 07:16 |
| chubs | goldmetal, that could be an msn thing | 07:16 |

| legend2440 | palomer: well libflashsupport is a fix for sound problems with flash. ie no sound on youtube. is that the problem your having? | 07:17 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: and dmesg mentions a network card.. and udev renames it from eth0 to eth2.. but I still can't see this eth2 anywhere.. not eth0 either for that matter | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: then its fine, just set it up with your favourite network tool or edit /etc/network/interfaces file | 07:18 |
| goldmetal | chubs, if it does not work... i will have to wine it | 07:18 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: did that.. didn't do anything.. I just added two lines to the interfaces file.. "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp", that ought to be enough, or? | 07:19 |
| chubs | goldmetal, some people who have trouble with msn fix it by logging onto msn in windows once | 07:19 |
| chubs | and that'll fix it for some reason | 07:19 |

| nate__ | another question. i got songbird, imported everything but its all screwed up (no artists, etc..) i have my original itunes folder with everything in order so is there a way i can import that whole folder so it doesnt get all messed up? | 08:05 |
| chubs | Roy_M, otherwise you can recompile your kernel if that's what you're asking | 08:05 |
| kevin__ | okay for whatever reason, (and I think im not doing it right) but i have 2 .gzip files on my desktop..and im trying to extract with the command: gzip filename_location/filename -d | 08:05 |
| kevin__ | where am i wrong? | 08:06 |
| Roy_M | chubs, hmm I might try recompiling my kernel if it is not too hard | 08:06 |
| nate__ | i also have the .xml file if that helps | 08:06 |
| chubs | Roy_M, it's not too hard, just time consuming. I think there's an ubuntu guide | 08:06 |
| Roy_M | taking a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile thanks guys :) | 08:07 |

| Jordan_U | Brainyiscool: It is a layer above the basic sound drivers that allows many extra features with audio, like sending audio from applications across the network and per-application volume control | 08:30 |

| Flannel | Kartagis: Are you sure its not already enabled? Have you tried? | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | Brainyiscool: You can get almost all applications to use pulseaudio with "asoundconf set-pulseaudio" | 08:31 |
| Kartagis | Flannel: it's not in mods-available or mod-enabled directories | 08:31 |

| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, logixoul: ok cause im installing mplayer and just saw it, i guess im confusing it for embedded java when streaming clips, no problem will install it and see if it is better when streaming | 08:40 |
| logixoul | more likely you're confusing it with flash video players like youtube | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: i like the mplayer one but i like mplayer in general over vlc so i use it | 08:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: will try mplayer first than for a week or so than try vlc i doubt i can have both installed and choose which i want to choose | 08:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | logixoul: yah you're right i was confusing myself, yah its flash not java :'( | 08:42 |

| Circs | ActionParsnip: Ty, sorry for stupid question I guess I just didn't ask google the right way. | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | clarenc1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacOnLinuxHowto | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Circs: no worries duder | 09:14 |
| Swilky | dose it matter if BCM43xx is black listed in the /etc/monprobe.d/blacklist file? | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: you got the latest pidgin? | 09:14 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: yes my system is upto date | 09:14 |
| debasys | i update every week | 09:15 |
| dn4 | ./xwax: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:15 |
| dn4 | what is this file I need in my libraries? | 09:15 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: that happens sometimes, but it is horrible, i have to force quite all other programs when this happens | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: try this | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: cd ~/; ls -a | 09:16 |
| nathanielneall | hello #ubuntu | 09:16 |
| carrera | Greetings! | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: close all pidgins, do you see a folder called .purple | 09:16 |
| nathanielneall | i am ashamed to say | 09:16 |
| nathanielneall | im going back to windows | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dn4: you need to install the package that provodes that file | 09:16 |
| clarenc1 | ActionParsnip, it said cannot found the "mol" package | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | clarenc1: do you have the repositories? | 09:16 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: cd ~/; ls -a ? | 09:16 |
| brandonmpace | Swilky: the bcm43 driver is the linux driver | 09:17 |
| dn4 | sudo apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: in terminal, gui is to hard to walkthrough, and cli is faster | 09:17 |
| nathanielneall | but i need help for the changover | 09:17 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: yes i see .purple | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: mv ./.purple ./.purple_old | 09:17 |
| carrera | my laptop and mobile phone see each other through Bluetooth, but transferring files fails. Can someone help please? | 09:18 |
| Swilky | brandonmpace : so use ndiswraper with bcm43? | 09:18 |
| clarenc1 | ActionParsnip, yes I did | 09:18 |
| nathanielneall | is anyone willing to give me advice on backing up my data? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: then launch pidgin | 09:18 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: ok done, shows like the first time i launched it | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: that folder contains the config for your pidgin, add a few of your accounts to see if it bloats | 09:19 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: i just have to re-add my accounts | 09:19 |
| danbh_intrepid | nathanielneall: whats the problem? have you seen the factoid? | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | if it does we can rename back but we have your previos config backedup | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: as we did not rm, only mv to rename | 09:19 |
| brandonmpace | Swilky: I´m researching this right now. I´ve never had to deal with broadcom before so all I´ve ever had to do was plug in and get all the latest updates and then the wifi worked for me. I´m looking around | 09:19 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: ah right, i have done this for Firefox profile in .mozilla few times, will check and revert back if i face same problem | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Swilky: do you have full updates? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: its the same with ALL apps | 09:20 |
| nathanielneall | danbh_intrepid, what is the factoid? | 09:20 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: neat :) | 09:20 |
| danbh_intrepid | !backup > nathanielneall | 09:20 |
| ubottu | nathanielneall, please see my private message | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: indeed, its kinda like windows profiles but you gotta do the whole deal there | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: you should have a backup system anyways | 09:21 |
| nathanielneall | what i want to know is will the data be readable if the file system on the drive that im backing up to is not ntfs | 09:21 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: where does Windows stores its Software profiles btw? | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | you can get tools in windows to read ext3 | 09:22 |
| carrera | I can't send files to my laptop with Bluetooth. Any ideas as to why? | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: documents and settings | 09:22 |
| debasys | ah | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: if you run %profile% it willappear | 09:22 |
| OICEMANO | \join ubuntu/de | 09:22 |
| robojiannis | does anyone know which is the gnome-evolution support channel? | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | OICEMANO: try /j #ubuntu-de | 09:23 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: i guess the problem might be the some plugins i enabled in Pidgin, will run without any this time to see check | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | debasys: is it bloating? | 09:23 |
| debasys | ActionParsnip: no, not now | 09:23 |
| nathanielneall | i have a 500gig drive thats ntfs with files i need to keep, and an 80gig hard drive thats all linux stuff(i think the fs is ext) also with files i need to keep | 09:23 |
| Roy_M | Hi I am just looking at a ubuntu kernel config file. Does a "m" mean yes. It seems that this configuration file is full of variables with yes no answers but what does m mean | 09:23 |
| OICEMANO | thx i know the channel but with mz kezbord is anything wrong | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | m == module | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | OICEMANO: no worries, copy and paste :D | 09:24 |
| Timberwolf5578 | Finally after distro hopping for 3 weeks, and trying 10 different distros, I have decided Mint is my favorite one. | 09:24 |
| Roy_M | Thanks ActionParsnip | 09:24 |
| danbh_intrepid | nathanielneall: just install windows, and get the ext2 driver | 09:24 |
| * O-MIRINDA bjim Esquilo sonhe com o tio em .... | 09:24 | |
| jim_p | Timberwolf5578: what did you try? | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: you can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g | 09:25 |
| nick[] | anyone using dirty dingo? | 09:25 |
| nathanielneall | danbh_intrepid, to install windows however i need to format one of the drives | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: so you could wipe it, format ntfs then write to it then | 09:25 |
| clarenc1 | but I find out that file have autogen.sh | 09:25 |
| danbh_intrepid | nathanielneall: not true, just install to the 500g | 09:25 |
| nick[] | nathanielneall: on dirty dingo, it works OOTB | 09:25 |
| nathanielneall | the 500g is all one partition, its a stupid part of windows installation that it will ask you to format the partition youre installing windows on anyway, like a surgeon scrubbing up | 09:26 |
| === [[ceuwe_udcullh_ is now known as co_caep_nyri | ||
| danbh_intrepid | nathanielneall: at least, Ive installed windows without reformating. See, linux has a whole directory structure where settings are placed. Windows puts everything into the windows folder, so as long as you have no windows folder, you should be able to install | 09:27 |
| brandonmpace | Swilky: I think this is one way to get it working http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmwareinstallation | 09:27 |
| nick[] | that's out dated | 09:27 |
| Swilky | =\ | 09:28 |
| nick[] | Swilky: just install dirty dingo | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | or just dont buy broadcom | 09:28 |
| nathanielneall | i have an old windows folder in the 500 that ive just bypassed since ive had linux (cant go back to that installation, its corrupted somehow i believe, wouldnt boot before | 09:28 |
| Swilky | the thing is i can get it finding networks | 09:28 |
| Swilky | but it just wont connect | 09:28 |
| nick[] | Swilky: did you upgrade yet? | 09:28 |
| Swilky | yes | 09:28 |
| nick[] | Swilky: what version? | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Swilky: if its finding networks then its working | 09:28 |
| Swilky | it wont connect | 09:29 |
| nick[] | Swilky: upgrade to dirty dingo, there is a fix | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Swilky: either get wifi-radar or manually edit /etc/network/interfaces | 09:29 |
| Swilky | i have dissabled security | 09:29 |
| Swilky | i have tryed both | 09:29 |
| nick[] | harddy herron | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | did you specify the ESSID in the interfaces file? | 09:30 |
| nick[] | whhhooooreeey hedgehog | 09:30 |
| Swilky | when i use fwcutter if i use ifconfig i get wlan0 AND wmaster0 | 09:30 |
| Swilky | yes | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Swilky: ignore wmaster0 | 09:30 |
| Swilky | what is it? | 09:30 |
| nick[] | D I R T Y, DINGO | 09:30 |
| Swilky | nick can i apt ge it? | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Swilky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=697807 | 09:31 |
| nathanielneall | danbh_intrepid, will it work if i just delete the old windows folder then? even if before when i formatted to ntfs i used quick format? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: you might not be able to in linux, i guess you could rename it if you wanted to keep it | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: depends if you gots enough space | 09:34 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, i think i just want to move all my data to one HD so i can install windows on the free one, so i guess my question is which hard drive to move everything to | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: your choice, think about how much space you need for the system OS | 09:35 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, well id like to put the OS on the 80 gig and primarily use the 500 for everything else execept a few other things | 09:37 |
| balrog | where do i go to view the source code for a particular project? specifically, the workspace-switcher deskbar applet? | 09:37 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, i was also wondering which folders if not all from the current filesystem drive (containg bin, boot, home, media, etc.) needed to be kept to keep everything but linux | 09:38 |
| Minty95 | anyone know where sounds are stord in Xchat ? | 09:38 |
| sh4lindev | hi, anyone here tried installing 8.04 on an Alix platform? (has AMD Geode processor (500MHz) and 256MB RAM). I've been trying for few days now, but all the installers fail to start (they freeze without any message after loading vmlinuz) ... | 09:39 |

| Pirate_Hunter | i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly? | 09:39 |
| brandonmpace | sh4lindev: did you try the alternate install disc? | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: you could parttion the 500 1 for OS and 1 for data then use a small partition for temp stuff and swap file to make your system faster | 09:40 |
| Minty95 | kieko, looking thanks | 09:40 |
| Swilky | is TKIP or ASE (wpa2 personal) in knome? | 09:40 |

| ubottu | Swilky: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 09:40 |
| sh4lindev | brandonmpace: yep, even the server version ... neither worked. But 7.10 works fine ... | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4lindev: did you md5 check your image and burned disk? | 09:41 |
| === root is now known as Guest50273 | ||
| brandonmpace | sh4lindev: well I would stick with 7.10 because on machines slower than 1.2Ghz it runs a lot faster. I mean a lot! | 09:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly? | 09:42 |
| Minty95 | kieko, where is the pref folder found can you give me the path please | 09:42 |
| sh4lindev | md5 is ok | 09:43 |
| belleke | my nvidea 9600 gt grafical card can't be detected.....help pls... | 09:43 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, ok but right now that filesystem drive is all that takes up that 80 gig hard drive so i now know that most of that drive is to go to the 500 as data and im just gonna install the OS on the 80. what i ultimately want to know is which folders are important to save from the 80 and which i can just let go in the formatting of it | 09:43 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, does that make sense? | 09:43 |
| drumline_ | So what should I do with my 1.0 Celeron box? 8.04 and upgrade to 8.10? Is it going to be that bad? | 09:43 |
| drumline_ | I run server on it BTW... | 09:44 |

| Pirate_Hunter | seriously can someone help me run a proxy for youtube it is seriously getting annoying not being able to view music clips | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !nvidia | belleke | 09:44 |
| ubottu | belleke: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: id just backup what you need and remove it all but if theres stuff you need, then harvest that too | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: no idea how, why do you want a proxy? | 09:45 |
| brandonmpace | sh4lindev: well I promise it´s nothing special on a slower machine, I have a 733Mhz and I actually switched back to 7.10 after about two weeks of 8.04 | 09:45 |
| mohadib | any of you guys hot/warm plug sata/esata? got a script i wanted to share if so | 09:46 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, right i think im trying to shortcut the process of looking for what i need by asking what folders the OS files for ubuntu live in | 09:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: need proxy for youtube, they've implemented country ban on music videos :/ | 09:46 |
| sh4lindev | brandonmpace: what desktop manager do you use? | 09:46 |

| tyso1 | its saying an error occured action | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | Pirate_Hunter: privoxy FF plugin | 09:47 |
| tyso1 | its telling me to manually run something to solve problem | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: /etc i guess but there are files all over the place, you should just copy your home folder and you should be fine | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tyso1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install | 09:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Jordan_U, ActionParsnip: will try | 09:48 |

| ActionParsnip | tyso1: its telling you what to do | 09:49 |
| stefan__ | hey , is there anybody knows something about to create you tv-card on ubuntu? | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Daft_Punk: giso i believe | 09:49 |
| mohadib | Daft_Punk: why gui? its a very small command to run | 09:49 |
| atul | can we lock folders in ubuntu | 09:49 |
| tyso1 | in the command line? | 09:49 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, like are the lib and usr folders just programs installed by synaptic and is home the rough equivalent to documents and settings? | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tyso1: yes, run whatever it said in terminal | 09:49 |
| Daft_Punk | mohadib, because i said so | 09:49 |

| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, i realize that... but that is not what i require | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ckyle: its in the same place you got the iso | 09:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: hidemyass.com did the trick :( | 09:50 |

| ActionParsnip | tyso1: put sudo at the beginning of it | 09:52 |

| belleke | that was great help f**k you all | 09:52 |

| reel_ | hi, is there a library for reading cd-text from audio CDs ? | 09:54 |
| mohadib | so does price gouging | 09:54 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, it isnt piracy, my friend works for an ISP so hes giving me a copy of their coporate | 09:54 |
| sh4lindev | brandonmpace: all right :) | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | whatever, its your system | 09:54 |
| pythonic | hi.. is there a developers channel? | 09:55 |
| Junkee | i think maybe #ubuntu-dev | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pythonic: /j #ubuntu-devel | 09:56 |
| pythonic | k, thanks :-) | 09:56 |
| nathanielneall | thats true. i find linux and all unix variations to be brilliant for developers, but as for the functionality as a personal computer, some companies just do a better job at owning the world and thus controlling program distribution | 09:56 |
| nathanielneall | but i dont think thats the intended topic of this channel | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: it doesnt work for everybody, but if you wanna use an OS you must pay in some way | 09:57 |
| Timberwolf5578 | What is the name of that game for Linux that everyone says is really good? I think it's a turn-based strategy game. | 09:57 |

| tyso1 | hey parsnip you know ho to get limewire working once its been downloaded? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !limewire | tyso1 | 10:03 |
| ubottu | tyso1: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. | 10:03 |
| nathanielneall | its like chess meets CTF meets risk meets some other shit with bombs and secrets | 10:03 |
| sh4lindev | arooni: what's your graphics card and Ubuntu version? | 10:03 |
| nathanielneall | tyso1, never use limewire, never | 10:03 |
| arooni | sh4lindev, nvidia geforce 8600gts / ubuntu 8.04 | 10:03 |
| tyso1 | wha to use then nathaniel? | 10:04 |
| nathanielneall | ubuntu comes with an amazing torrent client, its called transmission, best i ever used | 10:04 |
| nathanielneall | better than utorrent | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | arooni: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 10:04 |
| brandonmpace | tyso1: instead of using limewire just go download frostwire www.frostwire.com | 10:04 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, thats another thing | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: i use ktorrent, its got a php web interface too | 10:04 |
| tyso1 | they have easy to use interfaces? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: its only better to you, millions would disagree | 10:05 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, i have a ratio of 3.0 right now | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: thats nothing to do with your client | 10:05 |
| nathanielneall | ActionParsnip, i find it great just cos its the fastest ive used thats what i base it on | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanielneall: thats you seeding | 10:05 |
| brandonmpace | tyso1: I would recommend not using the limewire network anyways but you can also do torrents with frostwire | 10:05 |
| tyso1 | nathaniel does transmission have a easy to use interface? | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !torrent | tyso | 10:06 |

| nathanielneall | id say so. you double click the torrent and it downloads | 10:06 |

| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: should do as long as you have valid repos | 10:20 |

| __machine | amenado: trying to find info on adsl bit counters didn't produce my help... lots of links to bittorrent and other stuff... my adsl modem is in bridge mode connected to a switch/router which does nat and which is connected to a bigger switch... im thinking it may be hard to gain access to the modem to check bit counters | 10:46 |
| kosnick | FalsePositive : unfortunately not | 10:46 |
| amenado | __machine-> try to look into that switch/router for historical data, it may shed some light | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zr0gee: all i can find is people slating them man | 10:48 |
| FalsePositive | kosnick: Looks like a flag you would add at compile time. | 10:48 |
| FalsePositive | kosnick: You might want to compile the source code with that flag. | 10:48 |
| zr0gee | ActionParsnip: hehe, ok - thx anyway | 10:48 |
| kosnick | FalsePositive: i already tried this but i am not that good , something is not working as it should | 10:49 |
| __machine | amenado: i checked the traffic on each port of the switch but it did not help much because it includes LAN traffic, and there are many many gb traffic copies across the file server each day from most machines... | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | zr0gee: give it a go man | 10:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | amenado, in the instance that the alternate xubuntu hardy cd i'm downloading doesn't work, you tellme i should try to install damn small linux and then debootstrap to install ubuntu? is there a link you cna show me onhow to do that | 10:49 |
| zr0gee | ActionParsnip: Yeah, I will. Might be an idea to write something up @ the forums, after I get my hands dirty :P | 10:50 |
| amenado | CostaRicanQuaker-> i dont have an immediate access to a link, but you can google for debootstrap+ubuntu install | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | zr0gee: hands dirty is fun | 10:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | amenado: do you think xubuntu alternate install might work? | 10:51 |
| [[thufir]] | is tomcat 6 available? | 10:51 |

| amenado | meaning its your terminal | 10:53 |

| Dyllan | Hi guys, does this channel support the Alternate (LTSP) aspect of ubuntu as well or is there another channel i can be redirected to? - thanks. | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | danish_: i literally copied and pasted what I said, why did you only do it on the second go? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dyllan: yeah | 10:58 |
| danish_ | sir i found this one | 10:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ActionParsnip, have you ever installed ubuntu from another system with debootstrap? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | danish_: then run it | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | CostaRicanQuaker: never, i always do a clean install of kubuntu then sling either fluxbox or compiz on it depending on if Im drunk or not | 10:59 |
| FalsePositive | Well, when I tried to ./configure darkice, I got some errors about not having the lame library. Do you have that? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | FalsePositive: maybe sudo apt-get install liblame | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | FalsePositive: check in synaptic for lame to see what comes up | 11:00 |
| kosnick | FalsePositive : well i had those errors too - then i installed some libraries . The libraries you need to be ok with these errors are the lib***-dev ones | 11:00 |
| kosnick | where *** comes lame or alsa or ogg vorbis | 11:01 |
| FalsePositive | It's sudo apt-get install lame | 11:01 |
| Dyllan | Super. I have a couple questions regarding the Ubuntu LTSP project. I currently have 4 linux servers which my staff connect to via the XDMCP protocol which is built into their thin client, i use both IGEL & WYSE technology. What i am trying to establish is if it is better to use LTSP which my thin clients will boot via PXE or continue to use XDMCP, what are my advantages/disadvantages? | 11:01 |
| kosnick | if you need exactly the libraries tell me to check on them | 11:01 |
| FalsePositive | configure: error: neither lame, Ogg Vorbis, faac nor twolame configured | 11:01 |
| iGoogle | newb compile media software is hard | 11:02 |
| kosnick | FalsePositive : you need for each one the proper library | 11:02 |
| kosnick | for the lame it is the liblame-dev | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | iGoogle: if you have the deps its easy | 11:02 |
| iGoogle | a lot of lib* you need | 11:02 |
| FalsePositive | ok, so I isntalled liblame-dev and ran ./configure --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/ and it worked. at least no errors. | 11:03 |
| amenado | Dyllan-> i dont think many of us is familiar with IGEL & WYSE technology..so we can not compare | 11:03 |
| FalsePositive | now I'm MAKEing | 11:03 |
| kosnick | FalseP. : what about make install | 11:03 |
| kosnick | ? | 11:03 |
| kosnick | ok | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | FalsePositive: you'll need sudo for make install | 11:05 |
| FalsePositive | I did. | 11:05 |
| FalsePositive | Where the binary? | 11:05 |
| kosnick | i never used sudo , i just did use it so i have to check on it | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | FalsePositive: it'll be in /usr/bin so you can just type its name (tab complete if you want) | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | Normally one dose 'sudo make isntall' unless you set up ./configure to isntall to the users home directory | 11:07 |
| rubystallion | To compile alsa I need to execute ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel. How can I do that with module-assistant? | 11:07 |
| abhijeet | Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop. After I restarted i'm getting a hardware driver notification. It says that I need to install it If I want to use 3D applications and stuff. | 11:07 |
| abhijeet | But when I try to install it say error | 11:07 |
| Dyllan | amenado: forget the tech, just think of it as a thin client, i mean LTSP all it provides as far as ican see is a thin client to receive the desktop image from the server, which xdmcp does the same. If LTSP provided desktop management tools that would allow me to lockdown the desktop and make changes across the board that will affect all users in the same group it would be worthwhile, sort of like the kiosk tool provided by KDE. | 11:07 |
| Joshooa | Hey, I have Microsoft Windows XP installed on a 40GB, which is my primary drive, and Ubuntu on a 200GB plugged in as my secondary drive, only because I needed to install ubuntu in order to save files, what's the easiest way to switch them and remove XP, so my 200 GB is my main drive and just boots into ubuntu and I can format my 40GB for something besides windows | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijeet: what graphics card do you have? | 11:07 |
| abhijeet | nVidia | 11:07 |
| abhijeet | exatly what I don't know | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !nvidia | abhijeet | 11:08 |

| ActionParsnip | !envyng-gtk | abhijeet | 11:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about envyng-gtk | 11:08 |
| Dyllan | amenado: All im really trying to do is create a locked down desktop for my staff to use, but i want to be able to maintain it easily. | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, set the bios to boot the other hd is one easy way. | 11:08 |
| abhijeet | ok I'll try that | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | abhijeet | 11:08 |
| ubottu | abhijeet: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, you may need to install grub to the 2nd hd however. | 11:08 |
| kosnick | FalsePositive : how can i uninstall this now that i have MAKEd it? | 11:09 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: That's what I think too. Mainly, I just want to format my 40GB, but it'll erase the MBR and grub and stuff, so when I reboot, what'll happen? | 11:09 |
| Joshooa | I can wait til 8.10 to move the hard drives around and just format everything then | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, formating it willnot erase the mbr. | 11:10 |
| abhijeet | !envyng-gtk....is that a terminal command line | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:10 |
| iGoogle | koshari: make uninstall | 11:10 |
| koshari | ? | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, in fact. you coud proberly boot now, and tell it to install grub to both hd's so it wont matter what one you booted from - you would get the same menu. | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | abhijeet, its a bot command tio make the bot print out a URL/info line - like it just did | 11:11 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: So, even though my comp looks at the 40GB for grub which tells it to boot Ubuntu on my 200GB, which I'm running now, if I use gparted to format the 40GB and partition it up and stuff, when I reboot everything will still be ok? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijeet: its a gui app to install ati and nvidia drivers, you need gksu to run it as it needs root privs | 11:11 |
| iGoogle | you want uninstall soft that you make install before? kosnick | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, should be. I do that kind of stuff all the time. | 11:11 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: Well i want it to be just Ubuntu on there, no more windows XP, I am dual booting and want just linux left | 11:11 |
| arooni | does dell pre built ubuntu boxes do a good job? | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, if all else fails - you install grub to the ubuntu hd. and tell the system to boot it instead. | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijeet: the only downside is that you must switch to vesa driver if you upgrade kernel so yu can rerun envyng-gtk again | 11:12 |
| amenado | Dyllan-> I dont seem to see that much difference between the two, as you control the server downloads (desktop settings) to the client | 11:12 |
| tyso1 | hey action parsnip i downloaded frostwire and opened it with gdebi package installer and it says its installed but i dont see an icon or anything about it anywhere any suggestions? | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | arooni ive heard mixed reviews. You gotta watch what you buy. they may have better deals on identical hardware only with 'windows' | 11:12 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: Yea, I'm trying to get a free partition to start doing a Linux From Scratch, should be fun | 11:12 |
| craxie | arooni from what I hear they are pretty good but...... | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | tyso1: if it runs then you can just add it to your menus | 11:13 |
| craxie | oh dr_willis has already said I felt the hardware isn't the best | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | Joshooa, tried it.. couldent figure out why bother. :) you could install it inside a virtualbox session/virtual machine. Mos tof the install is 'read/cut/paste/wait' repeate | 11:13 |
| arooni | dr_willis, but do they support it | 11:13 |
| tyso1 | how do i run it? | 11:13 |
| arooni | dr_willis, and setup dual monitor and stuff | 11:13 |
| craxie | You get better deals on Windows machines | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tyso1: type frost and press tab in terminal | 11:13 |
| arooni | thats craapppy | 11:13 |
| tyso1 | k | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | arooni im not sure what they actually do by 'supporting' I can setup dual monitor on mynvidia systems in about 3 min. or less.. :) | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !dualhead | arooni | 11:13 |
| ubottu | arooni: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 11:13 |
| arooni | dr_willis, ive been trying for 4 days | 11:13 |
| arooni | dr_willis, i cant get ubuntu to recognize the damn nvidia drivers and i'm sick of building my own pc | 11:14 |
| craxie | It makes no sense really MS must be subsidising them or something | 11:14 |
| koshari | craxie i think you get the best deal when you roll your own | 11:14 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: Well I want to be able to really understand how linux works so I can make it and then once I get my OS going, port it over to a low end laptop, and try to make a minimal OS that can use a lot of it's system resources for games | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | koshari: amenn brother | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | arooni Depends a lot on the exact video card. I had to use the envyng stuff the other day on one machine. the video card was too new for the ncvidia drivers in the repos. | 11:14 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: And I don't like having such a bloated system with all this stuff on it I don't use | 11:14 |
| arooni | dr_willis, i seriousliy have tried 6 grahpics cards and 2 mobos | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | arooni then i ran the nvidia-xconfig, and nvidia-settings tools to tweak the systems | 11:15 |
| arooni | dr_willis, i'm so done | 11:15 |
| koshari | arooni the key is to choose your hardware carefully | 11:15 |
| craxie | My local computer shop will install Ubuntu on any of the boxes. He just needs a bit longer to prepare it. I don't know why Dell can't do that | 11:15 |
| arooni | koshari, the hardware i did try to get working was on supported hardware list | 11:15 |
| arooni | koshari, so i quit | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | shop smart...shop s-mart | 11:15 |
| dr_willis | arooni i have had very few issues with any of my 5+ nvidia cards. So i cant help ya much on the info youve given. | 11:15 |
| koshari | arooni btw whats the prob with the video hardware? what gpu do you have? what drivers are you using? | 11:15 |
| arooni | koshari, radeon hd 3650, geforce 8600gts, 7200s, 9400gt, 9500gt | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | arooni: does envyng not help out? | 11:16 |
| arooni | i've tried them all | 11:16 |
| abhijeet | That was funny....I Just tried to install the driver through the terminal | 11:16 |
| abhijeet | and it worked | 11:16 |
| craxie | He won't install any other distros though he says they're too much trouble :) | 11:16 |
| abhijeet | wow! | 11:16 |
| abhijeet | I love LINUX | 11:16 |
| koshari | arooni i have a 7200 gpu working flawlessly here, | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijeet: envyng s good but unofficial, if it works then great | 11:16 |
| arooni | ActionParsnip, no; niether does compiling drivers by unix utility, or envy, or restricted modules | 11:17 |
| arooni | i hate ubuntu right now :( | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijeet: just remember what i said about kernel updates | 11:17 |
| abhijeet | I didn't install that....Linux installed it's default driver for | 11:17 |
| abhijeet | nVidia | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | arooni: tried the driver from www.nvidia.com | 11:17 |
| arooni | ActionParsnip, yeah i did | 11:17 |
| N0_Named_Guy | hi guys | 11:17 |
| N0_Named_Guy | I need help with WTK please! | 11:17 |
| craxie | arooni nvidia and Linux don't seem to marry very happily | 11:17 |
| koshari | arooni rather than whining if you let someone know the specific problems its possable we may be able to assist? | 11:18 |
| abhijeet | I'll remember that | 11:18 |
| N0_Named_Guy | it gives me jerky sound when emulating mobile phones | 11:18 |
| N0_Named_Guy | please help me, thank you :) | 11:18 |
| Joshooa | dr_willis: So I tried it, applied, and it deleted the partition but couldn't create any new ones | 11:18 |
| dr_willis | Its possible somthingyou did earlier, messed up stuff so the other 'ways' dont work. Without any speficic logs/info we cant help much. | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijeet: if you dont remember you can boot to cli and change your xorg.conf to nv instead of nvidia with nano | 11:18 |
| arooni | koshari, i appreciate that; but i'm very sleepy and want to go to sleep :P ... i'm going to return all these computer parts to frys tomrorrow and order from dell | 11:18 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip, ive 'heard' that envyng is supposed to see kernel updates.. but im not sure how true/good that feature is, | 11:19 |
| craxie | I have to say though I have amatrox card on this machine and that worked fine | 11:19 |
| craxie | Maybe Matrox is more hit and miss? | 11:19 |
| dr_willis | Matrox - is rarely even heard of these days. :) | 11:19 |
| N0_Named_Guy | does anyone here develops Java MIDlets in Ubuntu?? | 11:19 |
| craxie | It's quite an old machine | 11:19 |
| tyso1 | how do i add a program to my menu so i can run it without the command line/ | 11:20 |
| platyhelminthh | How to make that I have a sound at an hour ? | 11:20 |
| craxie | I upgraded most of it but I don't really have any need for fancy graphics so it has the pre 2003 graphics card still in there :) | 11:20 |
| dr_willis | platyhelminthh, check the packag4e manager for 'alarm' utilities - and use one of them is one way. | 11:20 |
| koshari | tyso1 right click the gnome menu started and edit, then add a menu item | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: ive always had issues with kernel updates but im ok with changing stuff | 11:21 |
| tyso1 | thanks | 11:21 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip, - i just had to use envynt on my laptop the other day..waiting for a kernel update now - to see what happens | 11:21 |
| N0_Named_Guy | ok, seems no one can help me in the java MIDlets subject | 11:21 |
| N0_Named_Guy | thank you anyway :S | 11:21 |
| craxie | ActionParsnip kernel updates have worked wel for me in Deb distros - it seems to be Fedora that ties knots over kernel changes | 11:21 |
| craxie | Well so far any way# | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | N0_Named_Guy: try in #java maybe | 11:22 |
| N0_Named_Guy | ok thx | 11:22 |

| Melch | Hi, I have a question about Ubuntu installation. | 11:28 |
| Christoph_vW | my ssh connection died while install a new kernel image with aptitude :/ | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Melch: ask away | 11:28 |
| Christoph_vW | can anything be broken now? | 11:29 |
| Melch | I have 64bit Vista Ultimate, which I want to dualboot ubuntu and vista with. I used the Vista partitioning, and shrunk my primary drive to about 15GB. | 11:29 |
| craxie | bhindi to be honest there is agroup called local proxy on the freelist server that discusses all that in detail - they are an anti censorship group. | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Christoph_vW: no as yuo havent rebooted yet, just rerun the command | 11:29 |
| Melch | Then I installed Ubuntu 8.04, and the install process went allright. | 11:30 |
| robert__ | /join #ubuntu-pl | 11:30 |
| robert__ | \join #ubuntu-pl | 11:30 |
| Melch | I can't get Ubuntu to boot, I don't even get the option to do so | 11:30 |
| jositito | algún español¿ | 11:30 |
| Christoph_vW | ActionParsnip: doesn't do anything when I run it again | 11:30 |
| Melch | Tried EasyBCD, but that didn't work. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | Melch | 11:30 |

| Christoph_vW | ActionParsnip: and the new kernel image is in boot already | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Christoph_vW: then uninstall what you installd then rerun | 11:31 |
| Minty95 | am tring sound, can someone reply to me using my nick please | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Christoph_vW: how could you e booted into a kernel you are installing, you will be booted into an older kernel | 11:31 |

| ActionParsnip | Minty95: test | 11:32 |
| === matt__ is now known as themcman | ||
| Christoph_vW | ActionParsnip: the new kernel is in menu.lst already | 11:32 |

| Christoph_vW | yep | 11:33 |
| Minty95 | should sound for my nick be in channel msg, or channel message highlight in xchat ? | 11:33 |

| Slart | ketkk: tried swapoff? | 11:58 |
| redheat | what is the boot sector? where can I locate it? | 11:58 |
| redheat | is it the same as the root sector? | 11:58 |
| dns53 | redheat block 0 on the hard disk and backups throughout | 11:58 |
| ketkk | redheat: i did but don't seem to happen anything | 11:58 |
| Slart | redheat: the boot sector is on the first track of your hard drive.. perhaps you mean sometghing else? | 11:58 |
| redheat | what? | 11:59 |
| Slart | redheat: what are you trying to do? where did you read about this "root sector" ? | 11:59 |
| redheat | didn't get a word of that..guys I'm not talking hardware wise | 11:59 |
| redheat | I mean if I don't want my bootloader to be installed to the bootsector and I want it to be installed to the root sector | 11:59 |
| redheat | how can I tell the difference | 11:59 |
| Slart | redheat: I've never heard the phrase "root sector" before.. can't help you | 12:00 |
| redheat | the location where the bootloader is? that's what I mean where is it by default stored to? | 12:00 |
| jhesketh | where is pidgins home folder (ie the place it stores logs and configs etc) | 12:00 |
| athleone | So what should I do first, being new to Ubuntu? | 12:00 |
| redheat | I'm trying to have four operating systems to run on my computer I already have two/ | 12:00 |
| redheat | windows xp, window vista and I want ot isntall ubuntu and opensuse | 12:01 |
| Certh | redheat: I bet there is not more two OSes actually | 12:01 |
| ketkk | i've got it swapoff -a | 12:01 |
| dns53 | redheat you can install grub on the mbr (first block on the disk) or on the first block on the partition, you can then get one grub to chainload and call the other grubs on the start of the partition | 12:01 |
| redheat | ok thanks anyway | 12:02 |
| Timberwolf5578 | Where are icons usually stored? what folder? | 12:02 |
| dns53 | redheat partition the disk, install xp, then vista, then either opensuse or ubuntu | 12:02 |
| Timberwolf5578 | can someone please tell me which folder icons are usually stored in? | 12:03 |
| bbryant | /usr/share/icons | 12:03 |
| Phloam | Why am I getting a no installable kernel waf foun in the defined APT sources error? | 12:03 |
| dns53 | redheat install grub on the mbr with one of the linux installs, the other on the start of a partition, look at the grub config and see how it chainloads the vista and xp and copy that for the other linux | 12:03 |
| Phloam | during install that is | 12:03 |

| Timberwolf5578 | thanks | 12:06 |
| dns53 | Phloam the kernel is the core of the os and handles drivers etc, you need one there working | 12:06 |
| bastid_raZor | milostrife; transmission, deluge, ktorrent are a few | 12:06 |
| Phloam | dns53 why can't I get it off the CD then? | 12:07 |
| tuxice | amt2- is this just a random occurence | 12:07 |
| milostrife | bastid_raZor, any you'd reconmmed | 12:07 |
| tuxice | amt2- and what info does it show | 12:07 |
| amt2 | tuxice: what do you mean by random occurence? yea, it just happens with no apparent pattern | 12:07 |
| dns53 | Phloam you using the server/alternate install cd? | 12:07 |
| amt2 | tuxice: im not really sure, sometimes it's jsut a black screen with sort of a prompt.... if i then hit ctrl | 12:08 |
| Phloam | dns53 using alternate. Should I try live? | 12:08 |
| ghaleb | hello, I want to backup 200 GB into 40G tapes using cpio, how can I make parts or multiple tapes ? | 12:08 |
| bastid_raZor | milostrife; for gnome based transmission is the default. ktorrent is more like uTorrent | 12:08 |
| amt2 | if i then hit ctrl+alt+del there i can see a lot of things like related to ALSA and Gnome | 12:08 |
| amt2 | probably them shutting down or something... | 12:08 |
| dns53 | Phloam do you have networking setup and the internet working? | 12:08 |
| tuxice | amt2- does the computer shut down or does it just stay at the prompt | 12:09 |
| Phloam | dns53 I didnt get network working. Is that important? | 12:09 |
| amt2 | tuxice: it stays at the prompt. although it's not really a promt.. if i type a command or antyhing it doesnt owkr | 12:09 |
| tuxice | i see | 12:09 |
| milostrife | bastid_raZor, could tell how to install i've unzipped it from the archive? | 12:09 |
| dns53 | Phloam well if you had networking setup it may be getting that of the internet, or it may allow you to download one during install | 12:10 |
| bastid_raZor | milostrife; install what? all those are in the repo's | 12:10 |
| Timberwolf5578 | Can someone please look at this icon theme and tell me what I need to install? I already installed the deltagreenfull icon set. What are the rest of those files? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DeltaGreen%2BDeltaFar?content=75563 | 12:11 |
| Phloam | dns53 I think it's a hardware thing, and the installer cant find my network device. Any other way? | 12:11 |
| milostrife | bastid_raZor, ty got it now XD | 12:11 |
| dns53 | Phloam perhaps the live cd may be easier, but you could potentially download this file off the internet and copy it to that computer | 12:12 |
| Phloam | dns53 is it possible to install it on a flash? | 12:12 |
| Chetic | I'm trying to start Half-Life 2 with Wine. I can play hl2dm without any problems, but when I try to start hl2, nothing really happens | 12:13 |

| Timberwolf5578 | where would my firefox icon be located? | 12:14 |
| Slart | Timberwolf5578: why don't you take a look at "grep".. it will help you with all these questions | 12:15 |
| Timberwolf5578 | I just need to find firefox icon | 12:15 |
| dns53 | Phloam well it seems like just the kernel package is messed up, you could potentially just copy this over to the computer running the install but it might be too much bother if you don't know what you are doing, your cd may have problems or your cd drive | 12:15 |
| Phloam | dns53 I've checked both CD, md5 and memory. Still possible it's a hardware thing? The compy is pretty new. | 12:16 |

| Daft_Punk | macvr, rhythm box could have a built in driver for those buttons and not VLC, so again im unsure where you can obtain them, maybe instead of VLC you can try totem or another media player to see if they function in there? | 12:29 |

| macvr | daft>it works in totem too... | 12:30 |
| marnanel | Is there a way in Ubuntu to list all the codepoints provided by a .ttf file? | 12:30 |
| Diwas | kelder: thank you, yes, its been quite a while and every distro of ubuntu has it. i even reinstalled the system and still nothng. | 12:30 |
| CW | Daft_Punk: Here's the solution: | 12:30 |
| dns53 | macvr what you need to do is basically see what character the button press produces, then set that key press to be the function in the program, there are tools to get the key that was pressed | 12:30 |
| CW | with root privileges, open the file /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh with a text editor and remove the following character # | 12:30 |
| CW | Save the file and open /etc/fstab (always while using root privileges). | 12:30 |
| CW | At the eof, add this line: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0 Now save, reboot your machine and you should be able to use your usb devices. | 12:31 |
| FloodBot2 | CW: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:31 |
| macvr | dns53> how do i do it? | 12:31 |
| Daft_Punk | macvr, VLC may not have it functioning properly because it relies on it's own drivers that are built in rather than on the drivers for your system so if you are set on using VLC, it is best to contact someone that knows VLC better than I | 12:31 |
| koshari | macvr you can use a console program to see what output the keys use and then map them in vlc | 12:31 |
| dns53 | macvr i can't remember off the top of my head, let me research | 12:32 |
| ushimitsudoki | xev | 12:32 |

| Timberwolf5578_ | This is weird, when I minimize the firefox window, it dissapears into the quick launch icon, and I get no window tab on the bottom. How do I fix that? | 12:36 |
| macvr | trying with xbind keys.... do i have to install the conf too? | 12:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i'm having trouble loading opera, it appears on the list of apps on the system monitor but it won't load | 12:36 |
| dns53 | macvr run xev in a terminal, this will capture the key codes | 12:36 |
| sfer2 | Timberwolf: Try right-clicking the bottom panel and then clicking add to panel, then drag Window List into the panel. | 12:36 |

| koshari | macvr i have never used xbindkeys, with xev just note the charactor that flashes up and map it in vlc | 12:37 |
| macvr | ok.. using xev.. trying to figure it out | 12:38 |
| roukoun | i have a problem with flash... I use xmms like a media player, when i have a site that uses flash open and i am trying to listen to my music from xmms a message like the following appears: "Please check that: -Your soundcard is configured properly -You have the correct output plugin selected -No other program is blocking the soundcard". Actually when i am trying to do the same with the ubuntu default media player everything is ok... | 12:40 |

| jim_out-of-order | macvr: do use a ups? if you do, better go with xfs | 13:13 |
| vedant | ActionParsnip: i'll try later, thanks | 13:13 |
| hasanibrahim | ActionParsnip: This is a folder | 13:13 |
| macvr | but ext3 seems to take a lot of setup space...no ups | 13:13 |
| C0p3rn1c | macvr: here is some info about the filesystems http://paste.ubuntu.com/48014/ | 13:13 |
| vadim | <|Faust|>i think you should have installed opera from canonical repo - i think it works good. But there is another problem with that opera - flash isn't working | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hasanibrahim: you dont only open files as root, not folders | 13:13 |

| jim_out-of-order | 5% out of a 160GB drive is 8GB!!! | 13:15 |
| jim_out-of-order | you can down it to 1% if you know how | 13:15 |
| C0p3rn1c | tavi, just ask your question, and be specific | 13:15 |
| jim_out-of-order | i think the alternative installer allows that | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | tavi: whats it do? | 13:15 |
| tavi | how can i install that software | 13:15 |
| tavi | he let me watch some tv programs | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | jim_out-of-order: you got 160Gb which is way enough | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tavi: unless you can find an equivelant you are going to be compiling the linux source | 13:16 |
| tavi | ok | 13:16 |
| jim_out-of-order | ok then, since 8GB is a tiny amount for you | 13:16 |
| ncopa | ncopa: rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel | 13:16 |
| tavi | so how thst is then? | 13:16 |
| jim_out-of-order | for me is 1 vpc more | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | jim_out-of-order: a small sacrifice of 8Gb is nothing for what ext3 gives | 13:16 |

I was about to mount the data dir in the new ubuntu. Now when i put the original boot disk back, on boot i get grub stage 1.5, err | 13:18 |

| athleone_ | I have just installed it and is using Xchat | 13:47 |
| chrisbrl88 | jrib: do I really need to recompile my entire kernel to apply a single patch? | 13:47 |
| athleone_ | LOL | 13:47 |
| jrib | chrisbrl88: if you are applying a patch to the kernel, yeah | 13:47 |

| jrib | CaneToad: no, avoid rpm | 13:49 |
| jrib | (and alien) | 13:49 |
| TiredWolf | CaneToad: i'd make *very* sure it's only provided as RPM before trying that. and even then, don't even think of trying it if it's a library or other important software | 13:49 |
| chrisbrl88 | jrib: alright... thanks. I don't mean to be a pain - I just haven't had to get this deep into the OS before | 13:49 |

| mib_0stuu69p | so if ndis says the driver is installed, what else could be wrong ? I know for certain the card is enabled but it won't scan and find any wifi networks | 13:54 |

| jrib | |unjustice|: alright, so I just did it in vbox. After you install nspluginwrapper, you just drop the plugin somewhere (I kept it out of my plugin folder, but you can try that. The issue is that firefox might just prefer the normal plugin then.) and then ran the nspluginwrapper -i /path/to/libflashplayer.so command | 13:57 |

| asho791 | gnr: did you try adding the network monitor? | 14:15 |

| gnr | its not the same as i had before | 14:15 |
| gnr | hmm | 14:15 |

| Kate_mins | flx: no, i am new to Ubuntu. someone told maybe i can create a virtual link from the folder to the apache folder ? | 14:41 |
| flx | Kate_mins: You can do that, but you can also use something called "userdir" | 14:41 |
| marshall | is anybody having problems with nvidia drivers on intrepid? | 14:41 |
| marshall | !intrepid | 14:42 |
| Kate_mins | flx: what is "userdir" ? | 14:42 |
| 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! | 14:42 |
| Kate_mins | !userdir | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about userdir | 14:42 |
| flx | Kate_mins: When you set it up, if you make a folder in your home directory called "public_html" | 14:42 |
| flx | Kate_mins: you can access it by going to yoursite/~username (this is tied to /home/username/public_html ) | 14:43 |

| uimy | anyone know how to fix this when trying to open the sound settings No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. | 14:46 |
| uimy | it was working until I ran the updates on hardy | 14:46 |
| Kate_mins | flx: i think u didnt understand what i would like to do . when i installed apache the current folder used by apache its : /var/www when i type in browser http://localhost i will be redirect to the apache folder, i have another folder for example : /home/myuser/data . i would like when i will type localhost i will see the folder (data) . but i dont want to change my apache folder (var/www) | 14:46 |
| Kate_mins | flx: and i dont want to transfer the data folder to new location | 14:46 |
| jrib | |unjustice|: I have to go now, I'll be back later. Others can help you here too. Just keep in mind once you get this working, that you'll want to remove it when you upgrade to the next release of ubuntu if flash "just works" then | 14:47 |

| appart_ | Hi I have pinnacle SAA7133/SAA713. I have pictures but now sound, could you help me ? | 14:49 |
| pierce | Kate_mins: actually, more like /home/myuser/public_html you make a symbolic link from the home directory to the apache directory. The files stay in the apache directory, but to a user, it looks like the files are in their home directory | 14:49 |

| ganes1 | sh4lindev: in ccsm main page page moves up and down on click....how to fix it? | 14:52 |

| flx | Kate_mins: sudo ln -s /home/user/data /var/www/data | 14:53 |
| sh4lindev | ganes1: well, thats pretty strange ... not sure about that | 14:53 |
| flx | Kate_mins: and then you need to make sure that apache can at least read that folder some how | 14:54 |

| karooga | hi , anyone familiar with setting up svn+apache2? | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !lamp | 15:30 |
| 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+) | 15:30 |
| Pici | mod_cure: It will use the env variables of whatever user ran the command. sudo -i uses root's environment. | 15:30 |
| rockyrock | The sound doesn't work. can't shutdown smoothly | 15:30 |

| karooga | flx: i've used the tutorials and i'm 95% there. I've go some problem with apache and fqdn. | 15:32 |

| hwMoD | how can I install those through the command line? | 15:35 |
| ejer | hwMoD: apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:35 |
| flx | Jack_Sparrow: There's channels for ESD and Xorg and stuff... ...why don't we send them there? | 15:35 |
| hwMoD | doesn't that upgrade me to intrepid or something? | 15:35 |

| rockyrock | what about me???? Has anybody read my problem? | 15:36 |
| mod_cure | Pici, so sudo -s will create a new interactive shell(sub-shell) and transfer all my session variables to the new sub-shell. this will give me root priveleges ? how does it know it i can do this ? | 15:36 |
| flx | karooga: ejer had a good solution to that... | 15:36 |
| jim_p | rockyrock: can you repeat? | 15:36 |

| Brainyiscool | I asked last night and someone told me I did after sound played in Totem | 15:39 |
| hwMoD | MaxJays: define "visualizer" | 15:39 |
| jim_p | MaxJays: visulizer? as in desktop theme? | 15:39 |
| dorgan | how would i change the email that cron sends errors to?? I have already added an alias for root inside of /etc/aliases but that did not seem to do the trick | 15:39 |
| ganes1 | not able to change resolution..how to fix it? | 15:39 |
| rockyrock | ejer: Desktop, with Intel Core 2 due | 15:39 |
| MaxJays | no, like winamp.. | 15:39 |
| Brainyiscool | ejer: And how would I do that? | 15:40 |
| MaxJays | that moves to the music | 15:40 |
| dreamnid | MaxJays: for playing music? | 15:40 |
| MaxJays | with nice grafics | 15:40 |
| ejer | Brainyiscool: what kind of ourput are you using from video cam | 15:40 |
| jim_p | MaxJays: what player are you using? | 15:40 |
| MaxJays | dreamnid, yes | 15:40 |
| MaxJays | jim_p, last.fm | 15:40 |
| mod_cure | Pici, im not in /etc/sudoers.. so how can i use sudo -s ? | 15:40 |
| Brainyiscool | I'm not sure. Consider me a noob. I haven't gotten any audio from the tv capture card | 15:40 |
| Pici | mod_cure: is the admin group in there, you're probably in that group | 15:41 |
| ejer | rockyrock: it is really a tough thing to troubleshoot... I would just not use suspend personally, it is really moe useful on laptops | 15:41 |
| hwMoD | MaxJays: some of the more advanced audio players have internal last.fm support | 15:41 |
| jim_p | MaxJays: bmpx can connect to last.fm but i dont think it has visualizations | 15:41 |
| hwMoD | MaxJays: try also amarok and listen | 15:41 |
| rockyrock | ejer: yeah, it works in my laptop | 15:41 |
| mod_cure | Pici, %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 15:41 |
| dreamnid | MaxJays: Yeah, don't have an answer besides using Amarok, which I know isn't quite the same | 15:41 |
| ejer | rhythmbox has builtin visualizations | 15:41 |
| serqui | Hi, need some help with sound on old Compaq Presario... | 15:41 |
| serqui | I checked http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting but it did not fix my problem :-( | 15:41 |
| Jaco3 | Cant Rythmbox play .mp3? | 15:41 |
| jim_p | MaxJays: perhaps an amarok user could quide you on how to set up visualizations | 15:41 |
| Brainyiscool | From googling, I found this: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCI_TV_audio | 15:42 |
| MaxJays | i dont need it to play last.fm, all i want is a visualization | 15:42 |
| jim_p | Jaco3: why not? | 15:42 |
| Brainyiscool | So I tried running "cat /proc/asound/cards | 15:42 |
| rockyrock | ejer: but it's really cool, cuz with only one click you can reuse the pc again! I don't have to wait for a boot | 15:42 |
| Brainyiscool | " | 15:42 |

| Jaco3 | My .mp3 files is gray | 15:42 |
| Brainyiscool | but it doesn't show up | 15:42 |
| flx | Oo; hum. | 15:42 |
| mod_cure | Pici, u r correct. im in the admin group thanks... so sudo -i will create a sub-shell with all the enviroment variables being root ? | 15:42 |
| jim_p | MaxJays: and this brings back my first question... what music player do you have? | 15:42 |
| jim_p | like... winamp? | 15:42 |
| Brainyiscool | So I tried loading the module mentioned and it still doesn't | 15:42 |
| MaxJays | YES! like winamp! | 15:42 |
| ejer | MaxJays: applications>sounds and viceo>rhythmbox - then in rhythmbox go to view>visualization | 15:43 |
| Pici | mod_cure: Yes. | 15:43 |

| flx | Brainyiscool: Have you checked the forums? | 15:47 |
| Brainyiscool | Via google, yes | 15:47 |
| Pici | mod_cure: sudo -i, I'd rather not mix my user's env with stuff I'm doing as root. | 15:47 |

| Sahi1 | can someone tell me how to install themes in ubuntu | 15:49 |
| ejer | Brainyiscool: the answer is here, you have to run a program to enable it, halfway down, post by xyzzy http://www.pchdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1466 | 15:50 |
| Radiactive | hello, i have a question about usbadslmodemmanager ... at every startup the module ask me for password and say: The application 'lsusb -vvv' lets you modify essential parts of your system (there is a way to get rid of this annoying windows??) | 15:50 |
| flx | Sahi1: Go System -> Prefs -> Appearances | 15:50 |
| rockyrock | ejer: if i do this "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server-5.0 php5 php5-mysql", is it different from LAMP??? i.e that way or tasksel will make the same result, right???? | 15:51 |
| ejer | no rockyrock that is why I told ya how to do it right :) | 15:51 |
| mod_cure | Pici, is there a way to log what the users are doing when using the sudo command ? | 15:51 |
| flx | And then drag and drop stuff from gnome-look.org | 15:51 |
| flx | ejer: inform me as well, I don't appear to have lamp-server in my repos | 15:52 |
| ejer | flx: I already did, read my command, it is a program called tasksel, not apt | 15:52 |
| Sahi1 | it keeps telling me that the file in question is not a valid theme file | 15:52 |
| rockyrock | ejer: actually i didn't understand you. What's better and why?? I'm a web developer who used to use Windows to develop websites. | 15:52 |
| Nece228 | my right alt key dont works | 15:53 |
| Nece228 | in windows everythinks fine | 15:53 |
| ejer | rockyrock: sudo tasksel install lamp-server <- that is command you run to install everything | 15:53 |
| Brainyiscool | ejer: Thanks | 15:53 |
| flx | rockyrock: Use ejer's method. He's right. | 15:53 |
| Brainyiscool | However, it mentions I2C devices, which I am unsure about | 15:53 |

| Jaco3 | Which parts of openoffice should i download when using Synaptic? | 16:42 |
| HardDisk | Jaco3, openoffice is already included.. | 16:42 |
| Jaco3 | It is? :P | 16:42 |
| HardDisk | Jaco3, just add the medibuntu repository | 16:42 |
| zveroboy | Jaco3 the parts that you need plus language support files that you need | 16:42 |
| jb_ | HardDisk, ok is there any way to back up desktop settings ? like the layout and so on want to do that if i cant get in again | 16:42 |

| HardDisk | update, upgrade, then run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:43 |
| HardDisk | Jaco3, restricted extras will install stuff youll want extra for openoffice | 16:44 |

| dfgas | i have to clone 500gig maxtor diamond drives, i tried install boot and / on first and /home and /var on second, i always get errors when installing this way, however if i just install with one hard drive plugged in i am fine. any ideas? | 16:45 |
| Jampiter | Just for the record, what's Ubuntu's eqivalent to CTRL+ALT+DEL? | 16:45 |
| ivanhoe | the same jampiter | 16:46 |
| dfgas | in console its the same | 16:46 |
| Jampiter | Great :) Thanks | 16:46 |
| Whitor | dfgas, use Clonzilla to clone your hd's | 16:46 |
| eje1 | Jampiter: ctrl-alt-del reboots from CLI, ctrl-alt-backspace restarts graphics | 16:46 |
| Jampiter | What's CLI? | 16:46 |
| Whitor | Command Line Interface | 16:46 |
| _Zeus_ | Jampiter: Ctrl|+Alt+Bksp will restart X | 16:47 |
| zveroboy | be careful with NTFS partitions with Clonezilla | 16:47 |
| eje1 | Jampiter: what you see if you do ctrl-alt-f1 | 16:47 |
| dfgas | Whitor, thats not what i am looking to do, i was installing different parts on to the two hard drives | 16:47 |
| zveroboy | I've had problems with that | 16:47 |
| HardDisk | Jampiter, realize the GUI is an "addon" to the linux OS | 16:47 |
| _Zeus_ | if you want to reboot, hold down Alt+PrntScrn and press R,E,I,S,U,B | 16:47 |
| HardDisk | gui is separate from the main console | 16:47 |

| Jampiter_ | Right.. actually pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 was a bad idea.. :p | 16:50 |
| Whitor | it should be file system agnostic .... but I guess anything goes when you are changing hardware ... | 16:50 |
| dfgas | Whitor, i wanted to install boot and / on the first 500gig and have /home and /var on the second and it just get errors ever time when installing. but if i just install on to one drive it works fine | 16:50 |
| _Zeus_ | ejer: isn't that what ctrl-alt-del is usually for? | 16:51 |
| HardDisk | vampur, pidgin doesn't use webcams | 16:51 |

| HardDisk | Dear frustrated vampur, You still did not tell me what webcam you have, and you can test it with an application called Cheese it is included in the repository, make sure you downloaded the latest skype, if skype doesn't see your webcam, I see it as a general issue. Love HD | 16:55 |

| ejer | karayan: system>prefs>sound make sure everything is autodetect, on second tab make sure use esd is checked | 17:04 |
| anli_ | If I install ubuntu, do I need to upgrade the dist to upgrade a packet or the kernel? | 17:05 |

| anli_ | eh, package | 17:05 |
| anli_ | not packet | 17:05 |
| ejer | no anli_ the update manager will do it | 17:05 |
| anli_ | ejer: what is the "dist" upgrade doing? | 17:05 |
| anli_ | what makes the difference between dist versions? | 17:05 |
| karayan | ejer, yes every thing is autodetect and esd is checked | 17:06 |

| RenzoreK | Ward1983: I think at the end of the installation, it allows you to select where, I recently installed Kubuntu (a week ago or so) and I had to sepecify to install to my second disk, since I had a grub and if I did the normal install it caused problems. | 17:20 |

| chadeldridge | gnea: doing testing of multiple versions of VMware images ... copying off the testing defaults to another folder before we destroy the originals | 18:44 |
| ejer | theshadow: winecfg should do it | 18:44 |
| Aura- | theshadow: if you don't mind losing settings, deleting or moving the .wine directory works wonders | 18:44 |

| chadeldridge | gnea: there was a bug report about this but it was supposed to be resolved a few kernels ago ... not for me though | 18:45 |
| ejer | chadeldridge: check this http://opensource.apress.com/article/65/command-line-gems-hdparm and RAM has a large effect on speed | 18:45 |
| Gnea | chadeldridge: things will always run slow at one point or another, just a fact of life to be accepted... hdparm could help you out if it's an IDE disk, though | 18:45 |
| Holdem | hola | 18:45 |
| nalys | Hello there, I have few with my laptop and desktop computers, both running ubuntu 8.04 with latest updates (I hope so :P) : one problem I have on both is that when I'm root I can't access the trash folder... neither with nautilus nor with the terminal... I'm sure (I hope) it's something dumb I just didn't figure out or did wrong because I'm a new user :> | 18:45 |
| Aura- | Nem[1]: to read the syslog, try "dmesg | less" first | 18:46 |
| lolmac | hi, nalys | 18:46 |
| ejer | nalys: you should never run as root | 18:46 |
| theshadow | thanks | 18:46 |

| carandraug | mlise: take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex/TechnicalOverview | 18:46 |
| chadeldridge | gnea: i have done quite a bit of that one already ... the hdparm command does not work well with sata still though and udma / dma is not settable through it | 18:47 |
| nalys | ejer: I wouldn't though what I did (not on purpose) is I put a file as root in the trash folder ... and now cant erase it :P | 18:47 |

| chadeldridge | installing it now .. will let you know shortly | 18:49 |
| Aura- | Nem[1]: try reading the file /var/log/xorg.0.log to see if it's xorg | 18:49 |

| ubuntutlups | Hi. i downloaded the Ubuntu 8.0.4 and im currently running up Ubuntu 7.0.4 and i want a fresh install the problem is that i burned the ISO but it wont boot. i used. Gnomebaker and once i look inside on the cd it shows up the .iso :( | 18:52 |
| Nem[1] | Aura: not sure if I did this right, I navigated to /var/log then vi xorg.0.log and received E303: Unable to open swap file for "xorg.0.log", recovery impossible "xorg.0.log" [New File] | 18:53 |
| Pici | ubuntutlups: You need to burn the iso as an image, not burn the iso itself to the disc. | 18:53 |
| ejer | stickfu: hard to say, but maybe around 400MB | 18:53 |
| Pici | ubuntutlups: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto for more info | 18:53 |
| amenado | ubuntutlups-> create a new partition, install debootstrap, and install fresh ubuntu unto new partition | 18:53 |
| nalys | ubuntutlups: I had the same problem once and slowed the burning rate... worked fine after that. | 18:53 |
| Aura- | Nem[1]: try the program "less" on it | 18:53 |
| stickfu | if i was going to do it, do I just apt-get remove all the packages the gui uses? | 18:53 |
| ejer | stickfu: yup, but be aware this can have unintended consequences unless you understand what those packages do | 18:54 |
| amenado | ubuntutlups-> that way you dont need to burn an iso to a cdrom | 18:54 |
| Aura- | stickfu: i believe so, but you may want to backup first | 18:54 |
| ejer | amenado: that is not recommended... will not install grub for one thing | 18:54 |
| amenado | ubuntutlups-> you want the procedure? google for "installing ubuntu from a unix/linux system" | 18:55 |
| amenado | ejer who says its not recommende? by you? | 18:55 |
| nalys | Is it normal I can't go in my trash folder with root privileges or what ? :P | 18:55 |
| amenado | ejer debootstrap is not a complete install, its only preliminary | 18:55 |
| ejer | amenado: we are trying to help new users, that is not the right way to install ubuntu | 18:55 |

| amenado | javierg-> its a wise idea to have a separate /home partition from / ..that way you can easily move your specific user settings.. | 19:02 |

| ubottu | Artesc: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Babbleback Are you the only user on the system? | 19:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Babbleback: is the user a member of the admin group? | 19:52 |
| ejer | Babbleback: you only need to install it once, and perhaps your new user is not member of admin group so you can't use sudo | 19:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Artesc Please stop | 19:52 |
| ejer | pythoneles: yes, but that only works in active window from what i know | 19:52 |
| anom01y | is there a log file or something I can check to see why kde randomly logs off my user account when I am in anther user account ? | 19:52 |
| Babbleback | ActionParsnip, no this is a new user i created and needed to install flash for but it failed | 19:52 |
| DuKeS | well i'll give those lines a try ActionParsnip, if the drivers still work funny i guess i'll be coming back to the chat :P thanks both of u (Gnea too) | 19:52 |

| infinite_ | hi folks,how do i know wich WLAN card i have in my notebook? | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Sven_: hm not useful, try checking the channel list | 19:53 |
| pythoneles | ejer, for sure, but in my case it only works if it is the active window, *and* the first opened window | 19:53 |
| ejer | Scunizi: it works, but is better to learn how to do it manually in my opinion, webmin is not necessarily perfect | 19:53 |
| Babbleback | ejer, so how do you install flash on a guest account? | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | infinite_: lspci | 19:53 |
| pythoneles | ejer, which is the strange behavior | 19:53 |
| remoteCTRL | infinite_: lspci | 19:53 |

| Slart | Scunizi: webmin isn't good for some reason | 19:53 |
| alamat | or women | 19:53 |
| Slart | !webmin | 19:53 |
| ubottu | 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. | 19:53 |

| Prose | how do I shutdown an app through terminal (not kill but stop it) | 19:56 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: Please don't suggest that method of installing Flash. It may break during upgrades and we cannot support it. | 19:56 |
| kurumin | faça comigo | 19:57 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: umm... actually i hear with it and i guess the mic also works, haven't tested so far BUT it has that little volume switch on it and that one controls the wrong soundcard, i.e. intel's onboard device there's gotta be some menu or so where i can "tell" the control to manupulate a different soundcard? | 19:57 |
| Slart | Prose: what do you mean by "stop" ? you can ask it to quit nicely | 19:57 |
| kurumin | fala | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: if he doesnt have root access its a workaround until the admin installs flash | 19:57 |
| Prose | Slart: well, throug init.d it doesn't work | 19:57 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: Ah, I missed that part. Sorry. | 19:57 |
| Prose | I mean, I tell it to stop but it does't see it running | 19:57 |
| kurumin | deixa pra la | 19:57 |
| Pici | !br | kurumin | 19:57 |
| ubottu | kurumin: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: ive been here long enough to know what's what but I know what you mean | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: do you have 2 sound cards? | 19:58 |
| Slart | Prose: doesn't work? do you get some kind of error message? | 19:58 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: i do, the plantronics headset has one attached to the cable | 19:58 |
| Prose | yeah :No /usr/sbin/vsftpd found running; none killed. | 19:58 |
| Slart | Prose: then it isn't running | 19:58 |
| Prose | Slart: but when I ps aux it's clearly running | 19:58 |
| Slart | Prose: so no need to stop it | 19:58 |
| kstoll | test msg | 19:58 |
| alamat | !english fuck | 19:59 |

| nalys | ok... I solved my problem :/ it was very dumb... I want to apologize to everyone who took the time to answer ^^ thx! cu. | 20:00 |
| Slart | Prose: that stop command doesn't just kill every process with a certain name.. it kills the process it started earlier.. so if you've run the vsftp program yourself it won't kill it for you.. afaik | 20:00 |
| === martini is now known as starbuckkkee | ||
| Slart | Prose: but try killing that stray vsftp process using kill, pkill or whatever method you like.. | 20:00 |
| Prose | Slart: hum okay, but init.d won't kill processed it started himself | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: you mave have to use xev to program the input like special keys on a keyboard | 20:01 |
| Babbleback | ejer, thank you | 20:01 |
| lwizardl | anyone have experince with building linux cash registers? i need some help with mine | 20:01 |
| Babbleback | ActionParsnip, thank you | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Babbleback: you got it? | 20:01 |
| Slart | Prose: it starts a process and saves the pID in a file.. when you stop it it kills the process with the pID from the file.. if I understand things correctly | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | i got a question, what exactly is a tty? | 20:01 |
| Slart | Prose: so if you start vsftp by running it from a terminal you can't kill it using init.d | 20:01 |
| Prose | Slart: ok it works now | 20:02 |
| Prose | Slart: .... oh damn I see what happened! | 20:02 |
| amenado | Prose umm its hard to kill a daemon, it may respawn itself.. | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ive seen a guide about making linux boot faster by having fewer ttys, can anyone explain this | 20:02 |
| ejer | ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tty_(Unix) | 20:02 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: naw that actually wans't it, somehow i also got the logitech keyboard's volume control to work, someone told me howto and i really should have written it down... | 20:02 |
| starbuckkkee | hi, could somebody tell me the importance of the RAM speed? i want to set up a linux server, and i want to build it with a bord which has an onboard graphics card | 20:02 |
| `Matir | Where can I see the list of networks NM is configured to connect to? | 20:02 |
| DasEi | ActionParsnip:keybpad is one for example, serial comnectors are so called also | 20:02 |
| Gnea | starbuckkkee: well, the faster the speed, the faster the system | 20:02 |
| ejer | sorry dumb link ActionParsnip | 20:03 |
| Prose | amenado, Slart : sorry for sutpidiy, what happened is that I changed the conf file and there was a bad argument.. and when I asked init.d to start the daemon, it did but the daemon partially started | 20:03 |
| ejer | ActionParsnip: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5896 | 20:03 |
| Prose | so it was half-started but not enough to be killed by init.d | 20:03 |
| starbuckkkee | Gnea: true, but is this so important for a server, i mean i dont want to play new games like crysis or something which neds extrem good performance won ram | 20:03 |
| Slart | Prose: ah..tricky | 20:04 |
| Prose | Slart: yeah it reminds me of when I used Windows :( | 20:04 |
| DasEi | starbuckkkee: cpu and chipsatz make a max. possible fsb, which the ram must mangage | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | cheers ejer | 20:04 |

| krzysztof | i've got the prolem of opengl | 20:04 |
| mohadib | any sata hot/warm pluggers here? i have gifts if so | 20:05 |
| starbuckkkee | DasEi: onboard graphics slows down the ram speed ... is this true? | 20:05 |
| Babbleback | ActionParsnip, temporarily adding the guest account to the admin group allowed me to install it but it failed due to md5sum mismatch | 20:05 |
| Prose | I can't figure out why SSL encryption won't work with my client and vsftpd | 20:05 |

| Minty95 | I meesed up my network icons, how do I get back (install) nm-applet as I cannot find it in synaptics | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Babbleback: what failed md5? | 20:05 |
| DasEi | starbuckkkee: nope, but it usually uses some ram for itself | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | krzysztof | 20:05 |
| ubottu | krzysztof: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 20:05 |
| Gnea | starbuckkkee: well, it's a server, it's meant to serve. you surely wouldn't want your waitress to trip and fall.. | 20:05 |
| Babbleback | ActionParsnip, sudoa apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' | 20:05 |
| Scunizi | krzysztof: you havent asked a question.. just made a statement. | 20:06 |
| chazco | Hi... can anyone recommend the best way to copy an encrypted DVD (its allowed for this purpose) to a playable file type on Ubuntu, maximising quality? (filesize isnt really an issue) | 20:06 |
| DasEi | starbuckkkee: often u can set that in bios, and for a server little ram is enough | 20:06 |
| krzysztof | ok | 20:06 |
| Slart | Minty95: it isn't called nm-applet in synaptic.. check for network-manager.. think that's the one | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Babbleback: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:06 |
| Gnea | starbuckkkee: tomshardware.com usually has some good articles and information regarding the correct memory speed line-ups and how to avoid damaging your hardware | 20:06 |

| Daft_Punk | what can i use to create an exact image of my hdd incase i fubar linux (like i have in the past) i can restore the image? | 20:14 |
| Hackintosh411 | Altari: i can help with broadcom... | 20:14 |
| clever | soundray: your link is for 6.06 which is pre-upstart | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Daft_Punk: dd is good | 20:15 |
| starbuckkkee | Gnea: yes, i thought thes were other links about memory speed something | 20:15 |
| jim_p | Daft_Punk: partimage/ | 20:15 |
| Altari | well | 20:15 |
| jim_p | ? | 20:15 |
| soundray | clever: no, it isn't. Look carefully | 20:15 |
| ejer | Daft_Punk: http://www.clonezilla.org/ | 20:15 |
| Minty95 | re booting, brb | 20:15 |
| clever | soundray: ah, it was updated | 20:15 |
| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, ejer i would need something bootable from disk | 20:15 |
| Altari | i'm trying to install a netgear wg511 pcmcia wireless card | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Daft_Punk: dd /dev/<partition name> /path/to/desired/output.iso | 20:15 |
| Hackintosh411 | Can anyone assist me? | 20:15 |
| Altari | now, i realise it's not supported on boot by ubuntu | 20:15 |
| krzysztof | how check it ?? | 20:15 |
| Altari | due to the fact it runs a modified prism chipset | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Altari: what does lspci say it is | 20:15 |
| krzysztof | my eanghlish is little sorry | 20:16 |
| ejer | Daft_Punk: clonezilla and mondorescue both do this | 20:16 |
| pctools_ | someone can help me configuring my router with ubuntu | 20:16 |
| Slart | chamunks: ah.. so which was it.. hd1, or hd2 ? | 20:16 |
| ZKAT8IT | i have wireless setup but when i try to set a static ip it stops working, anyone know why? | 20:16 |
| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, ejer thanks | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | krzysztof: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:16 |
| clever | ZKAT8IT: you need to set the gateway and dns also | 20:16 |
| Altari | ActionParsnip: can't find it in lspci | 20:16 |
| Altari | however | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ZKAT8IT: can we see your /etc/network/interfaces file please | 20:16 |
| Altari | when i do dmesg i get; pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 | 20:16 |
| Altari | as opposed to details of the card | 20:16 |
| krzysztof | Section "Device" | 20:16 |
| krzysztof | Identifier"Configured Video Device" this is it ?? | 20:16 |
| Altari | then ndiswrapper -l shows the following | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Altari: run lspci in terminal, it will say what it is | 20:17 |
| DasEi | starbuckkkee: I suggest u really make shure bout this information (ask #hardware or oc-forum);ubuntu is here, but also i recommend asrock(betterperformance,less graphic,prbly cheaper)or go> | 20:17 |

| chamunks | Slart, turned out it was hd1 but i had to map (hd1) (hd0) | 20:17 |
| Altari | 2802w: driver installed | 20:17 |
| Babbleback | why would i consistantly get a checksum error while trying to install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:17 |
| Altari | however doesn't indicate that the hardware is present | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | krzysztof: you arent loading a driver if thats all there is in that section | 20:17 |
| chamunks | Slart, basically the map command just links both drives so they can discover eachother in grub. afaik | 20:17 |
| ravalox | Hello all, I'm looking for a working 720p xorg.conf file. I have one of my own creation that doesn't seem to be working. | 20:17 |
| Slart | chamunks: ah.. well.. glad you fixed it | 20:17 |
| Gnea | starbuckkkee: well, you kind of have to read through it and see what they have to say about it (Toms Hardware is a highly regraded and trusted industry site.). BTW, which computer tech told you this? working in a store somewhere or..? | 20:17 |
| ZKAT8IT | oh im using ndiswrapper also | 20:17 |
| ravalox | So I thought if I could just see or use a working one it may explain the problem I'm having. | 20:18 |
| virginiatiger | Ello, is there an open office IRC channel? | 20:18 |
| DasEi | ravalox:paste yours | 20:18 |
| chamunks | Slart, yeah this experience was great ill be able to do this again now. | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Altari: i'll ask again, what does lspci say it is? | 20:18 |

| ActionParsnip | ZKAT8IT: thats fine, give us a pastebin of the file | 20:18 |

| chamunks | Slart, maybe ill image my windows partition so that if i fsk it up ill be able to recover... | 20:18 |
| ejer | Babbleback: try doing a apt-get update... I just tried and it installs ok | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ZKAT8IT: you can set static IP in that file | 20:18 |

| Hackintosh411 | Can anyone help me install Global-Menu Applet? | 20:19 |
| ZKAT8IT | yea, havent used linux in like 4 years and i didnt have wireless then, i have no clue how to setup a static ip in that file | 20:19 |
| Slart | chamunks: good idea.. if you've got the hard drive space for it | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ZKAT8IT: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 20:19 |
| ejer | Hackintosh411: what is that program | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ZKAT8IT: you'll need gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Altari: is it internal? | 20:20 |
| starbuckkkee | DasEi: thx, i will do that... so u say asrock has better performance and weaker onboard grafik? that would be good, which board? | 20:20 |
| Hackintosh411 | Global-Menu Applet is a applet for ubuntu panels. | 20:20 |
| chamunks | Slart, I only need to backup the basic doze setup worst case i just revert back to brand new configuration day | 20:20 |
| ejer | Hackintosh411: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu | 20:20 |
| Altari | ActionParsnip; no, pcmcia | 20:20 |
| DasEi | ravalox:sry, using ati but see !nvidia, too | 20:20 |
| spuddys | Does anyone know how to create virtual hard drives in ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| chamunks | Slart, I just hate working out of a vm and i dont know how to use xen yet but it looks the most promising. | 20:20 |
| DasEi | !nvidia | 20:20 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:20 |
| chamunks | spuddys, are you looking to partition? | 20:21 |
| spuddys | May i PM and exsplain? | 20:21 |
| ravalox | I've tried the nvidia-settings to configure it but it won't let me choose a 720p resolution. | 20:21 |
| chamunks | spuddys, if you like | 20:21 |
| Altari | hmm | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Altari: you need to find out what chip is in it and install that | 20:21 |
| Yashy | help! My nvidia driver seems to have gone awol, I'm stuck using VESA in 800x600 http://pastebin.com/m1df0dbb | 20:21 |

| ActionParsnip | Altari: the fact it doesnt show in lspci aint good | 20:22 |
| Altari | ActionParsnip; it's prism54 i believe | 20:22 |
| dragon33 | greetings, what is the directory for the "fstab" file.. thanks | 20:22 |
| Altari | ActionParsnip; whenever i insert/remove it from the pcmcia slot | 20:22 |

| TiredWolf | dragon33: /etc | 20:22 |
| dforsyth | hey guys | 20:22 |

| Altari | ActionParsnip; it shows the following: | 20:22 |
| dragon33 | thanks :-) | 20:22 |
| DasEi | dragon33: /etc/fstab | 20:22 |

| starbuckkkee | Gnea: yep, but i think he has a lot of knowledge | 20:24 |
| starbuckkkee | DasEi: ok, i'll do taht | 20:25 |
| Babbleback | Ejer, i still get a md5sum mismatch even after updating repositories | 20:25 |
| Gnea | starbuckkkee: well, that's your choice to make | 20:25 |
| kmpnybgn | Where can I find my menu.lst file? GRUB is pointing it to the wrong direction. Points to (hd2,4) instead of (hd0,4). Managed to boot it by directing it to the correct one in the GRUB menu, but it's not permanent. Anyone with some pointers for a newbie? | 20:25 |
| ejer | Babbleback: try apt-get clean then try it again | 20:25 |
| TiredWolf | kmpnybgn: it's in /boot/grub | 20:25 |
| ValentineX | AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu | 20:25 |
| Gnea | kmpnybgn: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:25 |
| kmpnybgn | thanks | 20:26 |
| Slart | kmpnybgn: edit the file.. then run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal to make your settings take effect | 20:26 |
| Slart | kmpnybgn: "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to edit it | 20:27 |
| clever | Slart: thats the bad way to edit files as root, theres a sudoedit for a reason:P | 20:27 |
| Yashy | My nvidia driver seems to have gone awol, I'm stuck using VESA in 800x600 http://pastebin.com/m1df0dbb ANy help or pointers is appreciated. | 20:28 |
| Guest47772 | how do i change my background? | 20:28 |
| Slart | clever: I've never really understood why the sudoedit command existed.. why is it bad? | 20:28 |
| clever | Slart: running the editor as root causes it to use roots config(if your lucky) or screw up who owns your own config | 20:28 |
| dforsyth | Guest47772: are you retarded? | 20:28 |
| krzysztof | i can try that : Device "i810.ko" ?? | 20:28 |
| Guest47772 | no, i just am new to linux | 20:28 |
| Slart | dforsyth: not really a good way to help people | 20:28 |
| clever | Slart: using sudoedit will copy the file to one you own, then run the editor as yourself, then copy it back when done | 20:28 |
| lucax | Yashy: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 20:28 |
| Matt | so no thoughts on this LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue? | 20:28 |
| TiredWolf | clever: why would it screw up? | 20:28 |
| dforsyth | Guest47772: you cant be serious | 20:28 |
| Yashy | lucax: Did you see my pastebin? | 20:28 |
| Guest47772 | no i cant see the option | 20:29 |
| Gnea | dforsyth: stop. | 20:29 |
| sisyphe | sudo halt | 20:29 |
| dforsyth | *sigh* | 20:29 |
| kmpnybgn | huh, says I don't have write-permission to menu.lst | 20:29 |
| Guest47772 | also why is my resoultion 800x600 | 20:29 |
| Gnea | Guest47772: right-click on the desktop | 20:29 |
| clever | TiredWolf: the editor runs as root, so the config it saves to your home may be owned by root, blocking access to your own config files | 20:29 |
| Slart | dforsyth: no reason for that kind of language.. don't answer at all if you feel that way | 20:29 |
| clever | TiredWolf: (the config of the editor itself) | 20:29 |
| Slart | clever, TiredWolf it's kind of the same problem you get when using sudo with gui apps | 20:29 |
| dforsyth | Guest47772: right click your desktop, the option should be there | 20:29 |
| TiredWolf | clever: i thought that's what gksudo reasonably guaranteed to avoid, compared to plain sudo. | 20:29 |
| Guest47772 | its not there | 20:29 |
| dforsyth | Guest47772: what os are you using | 20:30 |
| Guest47772 | os x | 20:30 |
| dforsyth | man wtf. | 20:30 |
| lucax | Yashy: yes... if you ever had the drivers running correctly just reinstall them... or enter in failsafe mode and do the x fix | 20:30 |
| Gnea | !language | dforsyth | 20:30 |
| ubottu | dforsyth: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:30 |
| clever | TiredWolf: gksudo just does a few special things so X11(gui) stuff works right | 20:30 |
| TiredWolf | Slart, right, so you use gksudo | 20:30 |
| Gnea | Guest47772: this is an Ubuntu support channel, please try #OSX | 20:30 |
| dforsyth | my bad | 20:30 |
| Guest47772 | ohhh okay | 20:30 |
| Gnea | dforsyth: that's the last time. | 20:30 |
| clever | TiredWolf: if your lucky, it will use /root/ as $HOME and youll just wind up with a totaly different set of configs(whole editor back to defaults) | 20:30 |
| dforsyth | i said 'my bad' | 20:30 |
| Nutzebahn | Hello. | 20:31 |
| Nutzebahn | Debcreator is telling me that it is unable to detect the top source directory in my Megatunix archive, I am using Ubuntu 8.04, help? | 20:31 |
| clever | TiredWolf: when you use sudoedit it will run $EDITOR on the file as your own user | 20:31 |
| ValentineX | intel AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu | 20:31 |
| Guest47772 | #nick newbie | 20:32 |
| TiredWolf | clever, well, with sudoedit don't you end up with an entirely different editor altogether, anyway? also, doesn't that imply you should never use *anything* graphical with root privileges? (if so, why does gksudo exist?) | 20:32 |
| clever | TiredWolf: sudoedit will use whatever editor you set in EDITOR | 20:32 |
| kmpnybgn | So, I'm trying to edit menu.lst, but it says I don't have write permission. Tried sudo edit boot/menu.lst, but that didn't work. I don't even know if it should, though. I could open it, and I saw where the errors where, but I can't change it. Any pointers? | 20:32 |
| clever | TiredWolf: export EDITOR=gedit | 20:32 |
| ValentineX | Flips a coin: HEADS | 20:32 |
| clever | TiredWolf: i have one of those lines in my .bashrc so the default editor for everything is vim which i prefer | 20:32 |
| spuddys | Does anyone know how to create virtual hard drives in ubuntu? | 20:33 |
| TiredWolf | clever, however if i remember correctly EDITOR is not supposed to be an X11 program (i vaguely remember there's another variable, or at least a debconf setting, for that) | 20:33 |
| Gnea | spuddys: yes. | 20:33 |
| ValentineX | intel AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu | 20:33 |
| spuddys | Gnea - I need to resize my wubi drive to an extra 50GB | 20:33 |
| spuddys | or create another 50GB Partition | 20:33 |
| clever | TiredWolf: yes theres also a VISEDITOR for the graphic ones, not shure what its called exactly | 20:33 |
| danbh_intrepid | kmpnybgn: what command are you using to edit it? | 20:33 |
| Rimen | OK, Sorry: How do you reset pidgin setting | 20:33 |
| kmpnybgn | sudo, and just edit. should it be gedit? | 20:33 |
| clever | TiredWolf: VISUAL and EDITOR | 20:33 |
| Rimen | [configuration] | 20:34 |
| Gnea | spuddys: it's explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 20:34 |
| bonez46 | what would make vlc NOT play a *.mov movie file correctly? do I need to add any plugin to play a .mov file? | 20:34 |
| danbh_intrepid | kmpnybgn: well, if you are using sudo, you SHOULD have permissions... | 20:34 |
| clever | TiredWolf: im guessing the point of having 2, is so it can fall back to a 'text mode' one when the 1st fails, but it probly doesnt care if either one uses graphics | 20:34 |

| badfish | so i can reboot and walk away and not be back in ubuntu | 20:38 |
| jordan[] | danbh_intrepid: it shows the connection | 20:38 |
| ValentineX | ejer: that's helpful :D | 20:38 |
| bonez46 | evilbug: no, how do I install them? | 20:38 |
| lucax | badfish: i understand what you are tryin to do... but i say again.. its not a good idea... set 1 sec | 20:39 |
| danbh_intrepid | jordan[]: have you tried network-manager? | 20:39 |
| JerryLeeCooper | thats impossible | 20:39 |
| jordan[] | danbh_intrepid: wait i think it says local address unknown | 20:39 |
| comput3r | hi, is there a program for ubuntu that opens uif files? | 20:39 |
| TiredWolf | comput3r: what's an uif file? | 20:39 |
| evilbug | bonez46- open up a terminal and type> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:39 |
| chamunks | spuddys, inside that it says to download the 'wubi-ass-virtual-disk' package | 20:39 |
| Krumar | come on JerryLeeCooper http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_13.shtml | 20:39 |
| ejer | JerryLeeCooper: if you want to chat about it, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic obviously we all run linux here, so it seems possible | 20:39 |
| ValentineX | What is shell? "Go to a shell and type" | 20:40 |
| grendal_prime | ok im now trying to set up my treo650 to "tether" to my linux laptop so i can use it when im camping. hehehe soo can someone tell me this.... | 20:40 |
| evilbug | bonez46- see where that gets you. i know that linux doesn't go well with apple formats, but then again i never played any .mov in linux. | 20:40 |
| grendal_prime | in the how to it says "Obtain the user name, password and dial number from your wireless provider." | 20:40 |
| evilbug | ValentineX- a terminal. | 20:40 |

| comput3r | hi, is there a program for ubuntu that opens uif files? | 20:42 |
| comput3r | Universal Image Format (UIF) is a compression image file format for backing up CD/DVDs. MagicISO has a freeware program called MagicDisk that can open UIF files on Windows computers. | 20:42 |
| === |ZKAT8IT| is now known as ZKAT8IT | ||
| SebNaitsabes | JerryLeeCoooper: depending on what you want to use your computer for, and how willing you are to learn something new on the computer, a Linux distribution may be rather ideal for you | 20:42 |
| ejer | comput3r: http://onubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/11/dealing-with-uif-files.html magiciso works in wine apparently | 20:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | such as for example Ubuntu | 20:43 |
| Gnea | SebNaitsabes: er, he left | 20:43 |
| ali_ | ok wtf i finally get ubuntu workin good n now this i cant copy files to my psp it keeps sayin the file on my desktop is read only and it aint wtf anyone?? | 20:43 |
| comput3r | sweet, thanks | 20:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Gnea: oh I see no wonder I coudn't private message him then, oh well | 20:43 |
| Krumar | SebNaitsabes, it was a joke anyway | 20:43 |
| DuKeS | ok in about 10mins (burning iso right now) i'll be installing hardy heron and i need to know...once i install, do i enable the restricted drivers that ubuntu shows for my nvidia card or do i do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx (and if i do sudo apt-get, do i want the legacy or new drivers or what?) chipset is an nvidia nforce2, graphics is an nvidia geforce 4MX integrated shared video | 20:43 |
| grendal_prime | that is pretty damn fuuny | 20:43 |
| DasEi | bonez46:shure mov is not dmaged ?other players? vlc brings all codecs own, usually | 20:43 |
| Rimen | Gnea, how can I do that is the files/folders don't exist | 20:43 |
| Gnea | !wtf | ali_ | 20:43 |
| ubottu | ali_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Krumar: oh it was a joke | 20:43 |
| Scunizi | Any good resources to read up on initiating RAID on Ubuntu Server? I've got a friend running a hosting service that just switched to Ubuntu Server from Win. | 20:43 |

| spuddys | Gnea | 20:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Krumar: well I was vagugely following the convo | 20:43 |
| Gnea | Rimen: what about ~/.pidgin/ ? | 20:44 |
| ejer | DuKeS: you should use the hardware drivers app in system>admin>hardware drivers | 20:44 |
| grendal_prime | i mean..somewhere windows has to be driving something on the machine...why else would it be included on every computer sold heheheheh | 20:44 |
| ZKAT8IT | this is my interfaces file when i try to set up a static IP, but it doesnt work... http://pastebin.com/m29cb9fa6 | 20:44 |
| bonez46 | DasEi: well, I think vlc is fine.. how can I check it? | 20:44 |
| kmpnybgn | I think I've managed to get it to work. A reboot will show that. Thanks for the help ! :) | 20:44 |
| ali_ | ok wtf i finally get ubuntu workin good n now this i cant copy files to my psp it keeps sayin the file on my desktop is read only and it aint anyone? | 20:44 |

| Rimen | right | 20:44 |
| spuddys | Gnea you around? | 20:44 |
| ali_ | damn its still gt swear in it | 20:44 |
| dforsyth | ali_: you just said that | 20:44 |
| anom01y | does anyone know why my X server crashes on one account when I am using another ? | 20:44 |
| DuKeS | ejer: but for some reason when i tried that in ubuntu 7.10 it gave me some problems with video playback...it played choppy | 20:44 |
| Gnea | !ask | spuddys | 20:44 |
| Jacobbs | Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this stuff and I had a few questions. | 20:44 |
| ubottu | spuddys: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 20:44 |
| DasEi | bonez46:shure mov-file isn't corrupt ? | 20:44 |
| anom01y | (I have two accounts open at the same time) | 20:45 |
| Jacobbs | Does Ubuntu work on NTFS? | 20:45 |
| ejer | DuKeS: it installs the same driver | 20:45 |
| ali_ | ok why is it stil sayin write protected?? | 20:45 |
| ali_ | it isnt | 20:45 |
| bonez46 | DasEi: well, I should try it on a windows box and see if it plays there.. | 20:45 |
| Gnea | Jacobbs: no, but it works with NTFS. | 20:45 |
| ali_ | listen to me ubuntu!! | 20:45 |
| grendal_prime | does anyone use there treo650 or centro as a dun server for there linux laptop? | 20:45 |
| spuddys | I have done that create virtual disk | 20:45 |
| Rimen | Gnea, it doesn't work | 20:45 |
| spuddys | but how do i mount it? | 20:45 |
| holyguyver_ | My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to? | 20:45 |
| DasEi | bonez46:or try with mplayer | 20:45 |
| ali_ | bad os listen now lol | 20:45 |
| Jacobbs | Okay, so I'd have to install it on it's own partition? | 20:45 |
| plowman | has ompaul been in tonight | 20:45 |
| Scunizi | Jacobbs: if you mean will it read and write to it. .yes.. can you install it on a ntfs partition .. no | 20:45 |
| DuKeS | ejer: how do i solve the choppy video problem if it happens again though? | 20:45 |
| Jacobbs | Alrighty | 20:45 |
| J-n | ali_: Proof? | 20:45 |
| ejer | DuKeS: it could be caused by many things.. does it happen with every video on every player? | 20:46 |
| Gnea | spuddys: the website given to you earlier says how. | 20:46 |
| zubwolf_ | hi, i'm using ubuntu hardy(2.6.24-19-generic), while trying to create an ubuntu package in a pbuilder chail everything seems fine, dh_make finishes clean, "pbuilder create *.dsc" does fine, but "sudo pbuilder build *.dsc" finishes with "Tcl cannot be found on this system.", seems like "pbuilder create" doesn't care about the tcl-dependency | 20:46 |
| ali_ | J-n: the file says not write proteced it usually works? | 20:46 |
| spuddys | No | 20:46 |
| DuKeS | ejer: yep...i love VLC especifically but it also happens on mplayer and totem | 20:46 |
| spuddys | it dosent | 20:46 |
| ogzy | how can i load rtc-cmos module to enable /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm at hardy? when i write modprobe rtc-cmos it says FATAL: Module rtc_cmos not found | 20:46 |
| ZKAT8IT | can anyone help me with my wireless? i enable roaming mode and it works, but if i try to set a static IP it stops working, this is my interfaces file.. http://pastebin.com/m29cb9fa6 | 20:46 |
| spuddys | Well if it does it dosent work | 20:46 |
| zubwolf_ | any idea about what i can do to get this build done would be really apreciated | 20:46 |
| danbh_intrepid | zubwolf_: try #ubuntu-motu | 20:46 |
| Scunizi | Jacobbs: to make it easier.. you really need 3 partitions.. one called "/" or root (8-12 gigs).. one called /swap 1 gig max.. and /home (the rest of the drive for all your data) | 20:46 |
| J-n | ali_: i'm sorry lol, i meant that to go into a diffrent window | 20:46 |
| Jacobbs | okay | 20:46 |
| holyguyver_ | My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to? | 20:47 |
| DuKeS | ejer: and it seems to happen most when i go fullscreen...when in windowed mode the choppiness doesn't seem as bad | 20:47 |
| Gnea | spuddys: you'll need to try it again and pastebin the error. | 20:47 |
| zubwolf_ | danbh_intrepid, oh, i don't know ubuntu-moto, i will now read about it, thx | 20:47 |
| Jacobbs | I come from Windows | 20:47 |
| spuddys | doesnt give an error | 20:47 |
| Jacobbs | So that doesn't really make a ton of sense to me >.> | 20:47 |
| StephenF | Hello, I've done something stupid. I converted my linux drive to a dynamic disk while I was in Windows. I thought I was acting on a different drive. Now GRUB is giving me error 17 and won't go to the boot menu. Is there any way to recover from this? Google search have proven unsuccessful so far | 20:47 |
| ali_ | J-n: lol nm | 20:47 |
| _Zeus_ | holyguyver_: go to a terminal and type ls /dev/sd* | 20:47 |
| _Zeus_ | pastebin the output | 20:47 |
| Gnea | spuddys: then how do you know that it didn't mount? | 20:47 |
| danbh_intrepid | zubwolf_: motu not moto | 20:47 |
| spuddys | because its not showing in computer | 20:47 |
| Jacobbs | Scunizi, is it cool if I PM you? | 20:47 |
| DasEi | !grub>StephenF | 20:47 |
| _Zeus_ | spuddys: paste the output of /dev/sd* | 20:47 |
| spuddys | Well | 20:48 |
| zubwolf_ | danbh_intrepid, my fault, thx:) | 20:48 |
| _Zeus_ | * the output of /dev/sd* | 20:48 |
| Gnea | spuddys: that doesn't count, you need to check the output of the df -Th command | 20:48 |
| ejer | DuKeS: it is an old card, but still should work ok... try it again the way I said and we can go from there | 20:48 |
| state | when i hover over a mp3 file or something other in the filebrowser nothing happens ... i searched and found that i should install mpg321 but this didn't help ... what is needed for this? | 20:48 |
| Scunizi | Jacobbs: well.. / (root) contains all the system files and other things.. /swap is also part of windows but not it's own partition.. a separate /home with your data is a protection so you can do a fresh reinstall when needed and not loose anything. | 20:48 |
| spuddys | http://pastebin.com/m19f5551d | 20:48 |
| spuddys | There you go | 20:48 |
| StephenF | BTW, I am able to access the drive when using a live CD, so the files are all there. I just need to fix the boot section | 20:48 |
| Jacobbs | Ahh okay | 20:48 |
| DuKeS | ejer: alright...i'll install right now...hopefully ur still here once i'm back :P thanx for the help | 20:48 |
| holyguyver_ | _Zeus_, this is what it said /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sde /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sdf | 20:48 |
| Jacobbs | Now for swap | 20:48 |
| StephenF | DasEi: I didnt get anything, possibly because I am on Mibbit | 20:49 |
| Gnea | spuddys: okay, you formatted it. so? | 20:49 |
| Jacobbs | I could for-seeably make that the Windows pagefile partition too right? | 20:49 |
| gouki | Any idea how I can access a Virtual Machine from my Host machine, ssh-wise? | 20:49 |
| DasEi | StephenF: did you also reset that change from windows ? you might also check fstab fur wrong uuids... | 20:49 |
| spuddys | No i just created it | 20:49 |
| spuddys | How i mount it then | 20:49 |
| spuddys | im new to linux learning. | 20:49 |
| jim_p | gouki: install ssh on both of them | 20:49 |
| bonez46 | DasEi: ok. there are two versions.. one for quicktime .mov and other for windows medial player .wmv the .wmv version plays...but I want to play it on my linux box | 20:49 |
| jim_p | gouki: and do this at a terminal | 20:49 |
| StephenF | StephenF: No i didnt attempt to change the drive back to a basic drive. Should I try that? | 20:49 |
| StephenF | ^ DasEi | 20:50 |
| gouki | jim_p, doesn't work.they're are on different networks. virtualbox uses 10.0.2.x | 20:50 |
| spuddys | Gnea - How would i mount it then? | 20:50 |
| Gnea | spuddys: here, i'll give you the URL again... http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=737848 | 20:50 |
| sisyphe | go fu prick | 20:50 |
| spuddys | Thanks | 20:50 |
| jim_p | oh :( | 20:50 |
| Babbleback | why would i consistantly get a checksum error while trying to install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:50 |
| holyguyver_ | _Zeus_, it said /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sde | 20:50 |
| holyguyver_ | /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sdf | 20:50 |
| Scunizi | Jacobbs: no.. it needs it's own.. you can't use the wind pagefile.. /swap isn't really accessed very much like pagefile is but it's necessary | 20:50 |
| Gnea | Babbleback: what version of Ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, 7.04 | 20:51 |
| Gnea | Babbleback: known issue, did you run sudo apt-get update? | 20:51 |
| Jacobbs | Scunizi, I'm saying that I could use the partition for the same purpose right? | 20:51 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, yes | 20:51 |
| xxploit | any1 know if there are any video players for linux which can play video in the terminal, without X? | 20:51 |
| Jacobbs | Because I don't wanto to be running both Ubuntu and XP at the same time | 20:51 |
| Gnea | Babbleback: try upgrading to 8.04 then | 20:51 |
| ejer | gouki: you can use bridged networking,, but I think you should be able to ssh into NAT as well | 20:51 |
| Jacobbs | Wouldn't that work? | 20:51 |
| spuddys | Gnea - I dont know how to mount it i dont know the location of it | 20:51 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, failes | 20:51 |
| DasEi | bonez46: for usual vlc plays both on both systems out the box, check your media-file... | 20:51 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, failes and i have a broken system | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | Jacobbs: they do pretty much the same thing.. but you wouldn't be able to tell windows to use the same partition because of the formatting. | 20:51 |
| Gnea | Babbleback: fails how? | 20:52 |
| cenubis | I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? | 20:52 |
| DasEi | !grub | 20:52 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:52 |
| Jacobbs | Right, I just thought of that. | 20:52 |
| ejer | Babbleback: enable proposed updates in software sources perhaps | 20:52 |
| DasEi | StephenF: did you also reset that change from windows ? you might also check fstab fur wrong uuids... | 20:52 |
| DasEi | StephenF: got !grub ? | 20:52 |
| cenubis | I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? I have a Verizon USB Aircard and use WV dial; it initiates the connection and everything fine but it is very very slow. | 20:52 |
| holyguyver_ | My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to? | 20:52 |
| Gnea | spuddys: that URL tells you how to mount it. and you ran the command to format it, therefore you know the location. | 20:52 |
| StephenF | DasEi: No i did not try to change the disk back to basic, should I do that? | 20:52 |

| ejer | xxploit: you could try mplayer -vo cac file - more funny than usable tho | 20:53 |
| ejer | xxploit: you could try mplayer -vo caca file - more funny than usable tho | 20:53 |
| spuddys | it just tells me | 20:53 |
| spuddys | No found directory | 20:53 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, i make it 7.10 then the 8.04 upgrade fails.. don't remember if there was an error message or it just hangs, but i've tried to upgrade a 7.04 many times... i've actually only been able to download 8.04 without getting checksum errors also | 20:53 |
| ejer | faemir: what does it say | 20:53 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, once that is | 20:53 |
| Gnea | Babbleback: it was probably the localegens error - easily solved | 20:53 |
| Babbleback | Gnea, ok | 20:54 |
| faemir | ejer: http://rafb.net/p/8hNjuU28.html | 20:54 |

| Babbleback | Gnea, is that with respect to my flash problem or my upgrading to 8.04 problem | 20:54 |
| DasEi | StephenF: yes, partitons are often marked with unique identifiers (uuids) which change if you resize/alter partis, so the pointers are wrong then | 20:54 |
| Gnea | spuddys: when you type what? | 20:54 |
| ejer | faemir: if you have a mysql root password you need to do mysqladmin -u root -p password 'newpass' | 20:54 |
| Gnea | Babbleback: both. | 20:54 |
| spuddys | sudo mount -o loop /ubuntu/disks/extra.disk /media/extra | 20:55 |

| ejer | faemir: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server | 20:55 |

| spuddys | Fixed | 20:56 |
| spuddys | I put wrong directory in | 20:56 |

| spuddys | Gnea - Sorry for my attitude sometimes linux can be a pain :D but thanks you made me very happy | 20:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ohgodnotanother1: you could try comamnd killx | 20:56 |
| Gnea | spuddys: not a problem, you stuck with it and made it work anyway - that's what we like around here. :) | 20:57 |
| stefg | ohgodnotanother1: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart is the civilized way | 20:57 |
| spuddys | :D | 20:57 |
| faemir | ejer: thanks, i'll take a look | 20:57 |
| spuddys | Gnea just a quick one, To install Wine on the 50GB is it just go into the drive extra and install it there in Apt-get wine? | 20:57 |
| Gnea | spuddys: honestly, i've never used the extra disk - from what i can tell, wubi just automates its use, but again, i'm not sure about it. you should be able to just install wine from the add/remove menu and it'll be fine | 20:58 |
| spuddys | No i mean install it onto the other drive | 20:59 |
| spuddys | like to cd hop to another drive how would i get to it | 20:59 |
| spuddys | like CD extra or what? | 20:59 |

| spuddys | I want to install Wine onto the extra drive | 20:59 |
| spuddys | is there like a choose what drive you want to install it on? | 20:59 |

| Drk_Guy | How can i make an utility process all mp3 files keeping the same filenames as output but on different folders? | 21:00 |

| danbh_intrepid | Minty95: its nm-applet | 21:00 |
| spuddys | like how do i install somthing onto another drive | 21:00 |
| stefg | spuddys: wine needs a .wine subdir in your home-dir. The linux way would be to take that whole (hidden) dir .wine, shift it to the location you want and symlink it back into your /home | 21:01 |
| faemir | anyone help me on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset ? it fails on the second thing you have to do | 21:01 |
| spuddys | I dont understand | 21:01 |

| ubuntutlups | yes.. | 21:03 |
| Gnea | spuddys: it's not like windows with drive letters - partitions are mounted onto different directories, so if you do a df -Th, it'll tell you where the space is being allocated | 21:03 |
| ubuntutlups | from the ubuntu oficial site | 21:03 |
| ubuntutlups | ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 21:03 |
| spuddys | Ok, | 21:03 |
| spuddys | So i just goto the directory that the vdisk is in? | 21:03 |
| Gnea | spuddys: you can always move files around and remount with fstab if need be, but i'm not sure how well that jives with wubi | 21:04 |

| spuddys | so just drag it | 21:05 |
| sebastian_ | in' | 21:05 |
| spuddys | so just install it onto filesystem now | 21:05 |
| spuddys | and then move it to extra? | 21:05 |
| Gnea | spuddys: you could tell the extra filesystem to be your /home partition | 21:05 |
| spuddys | but that would not mess with my booting? | 21:05 |
| Gnea | linux doesn't care where /home is, as long as it exists :) | 21:06 |
| spuddys | ok | 21:06 |
| spuddys | Can you give me the command :D | 21:06 |
| stefg | spuddys: why take the hard way? just let winecfg set up the dir. take it then, put it where you want it | 21:06 |
| Gnea | it's more than 1 command - it's a procedure ;) | 21:06 |
| sebastian_ | hi, i have a problem with my extern drive, i have 3 diffrent maps, im /media of the same drive, how do i remove them? | 21:06 |

| DuKeS | hey guys im on the live cd for hardy heron. I wanted to dual boot xp + ubuntu but when it starts up the partitioner i'm only given two options...guided entire disk or manual. I thought that there was a third option where it let you resize the HDD and decide how much you want for each OS. BTW i already for XP installed, just wanted to resize it 40/60 XP/Linux | 21:06 |
| stefg | spuddys: I#M afraid that is already the easy way :-) | 21:07 |
| spuddys | well | 21:07 |
| Gnea | spuddys: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ you'll obviously have to change some things there that are tailored to your system | 21:07 |
| spuddys | so | 21:07 |
| spuddys | mkdir /mnt the mnt is the extra | 21:07 |

| guntbert | ubuntutlups: you must go to the directory where you downloaded your iso to | 21:09 |

| Gnea | ozzloy: or actually, there is - you can choose the behavior | 21:09 |
| stefg | spuddys: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#Mounting%20partitions%20manually | 21:09 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: Well, if it's not there, you could either go into manual and resize it yourself or, as long as you're in a live session anyway, install gparted and see if you can resize the partition separately before you install. | 21:09 |
| ozzloy | Gnea: where is this choice? | 21:09 |

| ubuntutlups | is there a way to download it from a torrent o amule... | 21:28 |
| Gnea | arooni-mobile: they tend to work just fine. http://www.dell.com/linux they have several up there that they endorse. | 21:28 |
| kevinO | DarwinS-Sup-eus-, i think its a setting, take a look at this thread, it doesnt offer any explanation, but now you know a bit more.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=480844 | 21:28 |
| DuKeS | bobertdos: ahh great! that worked! now it allows me to resize! :D thanx so much | 21:28 |
| J-n | arooni-mobile: I had no problems with ubuntu and dell. | 21:28 |
| stefg | spuddys: to tell you the truth: forget that with wubi. do a proper install on a separate partition. performance will be anything but stellar with wubi | 21:28 |
| spuddys | I cant | 21:28 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: my pleasure | 21:28 |
| spuddys | it wont let me | 21:28 |
| ozzloy | Gnea: alternately, you could help me get networking working on this computer? | 21:28 |
| ubuntutlups | What is alternate desktop ? | 21:29 |
| spuddys | Is there anyway i can do it on this | 21:29 |
| ozzloy | not the one i'm typing on now, heh | 21:29 |
| ubuntutlups | is a better version ? o whut ? | 21:29 |
| Gnea | ozzloy: maybe, i only have a few minutes left. it'd help if i knew what the problem was, too. :) | 21:29 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, no lice desktop | 21:29 |
| kevinO | live* | 21:29 |
| ozzloy | Gnea: i just tried plugging the camera into a different computer, same behavior | 21:29 |
| hsn- | hello everyone, i'm planning to install ubuntu on my laptop (toshiba a200-1j3) - what do you suggest 64bit or 32bit? | 21:29 |
| ubuntutlups | lice ? | 21:29 |
| ozzloy | Gnea: oh, well then let me thank you for your time | 21:29 |
| Gnea | !alternate | ubuntutlups | 21:29 |

| myke | how do i get emacs bindings in firefox? editing .gtkrc-2.0 seems to have no effect | 21:29 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, i think your referring to the ubuntu alternate cd which doesnt include the live desktop ability | 21:30 |
| Gnea | ozzloy: cheers, and good luck | 21:30 |
| ozzloy | Gnea: thanks! | 21:30 |
| bobertdos | hsn-: Well, do you have a 64-bit system? How much RAM? | 21:30 |
| megasquid_ | can anyone help me troubleshoot why xrandr doesn't detect my external monitor when im using fglrx drivers on ubuntu 8.04? | 21:30 |
| kevinO | Gnea you beat me to it :) | 21:30 |
| ubuntutlups | mmmm.. i want to install my Ubuntu 8.0.4 from a torrent | 21:30 |
| spuddys | Stefg can i still do it on this? | 21:30 |
| hsn- | bobertdos: yes it is a 64bit sys (intel c2duo t7500 @2.2ghz with 2gb ram) | 21:30 |
| Sapient | I just tried to compress a 16GB text file and it turned it into a 17GB text file... gzip -S .gz errors.log | 21:30 |
| stefg | spuddys: so you can't take a backup of the drive and restore to a smaller partition on the 200G drive? | 21:30 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, you have a slow connection? | 21:30 |
| spuddys | Nope | 21:30 |
| spuddys | because of my other OS Windblows i cant | 21:31 |
| spuddys | i need windows for other things | 21:31 |
| DasEi | ohgodnotanother1: tmpfs < whats that ?? a device ??? | 21:31 |
| stefg | spuddys: and leave 50G space free for use with ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| ubuntutlups | mmm sort of | 21:31 |
| spuddys | i tryed that | 21:31 |
| Nutzebahn | Debcreator is telling me that it is unable to detect the top source directory in my Megatunix archive, I am using Ubuntu 8.04, help? | 21:31 |
| ubuntutlups | i need to wait like 6 hours | 21:31 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, then you might prefer the torrent it will ensure you get a complete and working image file | 21:31 |
| spuddys | Stefg - Is it possible on this though if so how? | 21:32 |
| stefg | spuddys: you can have dual boot. But understand that wubi is for eval. purposes only. Advanced things need a proper install | 21:32 |
| bobertdos | hsn-: Well, since you only have 2 gigs of RAM, I'd just make life easier and stick with 32-bit. Some software and hardware support gets really messy with 64-bit. | 21:32 |
| kevinO | ubuntulog, and download the alternatecd if you want a smaller dl size | 21:32 |
| kevinO | ubuntut but you wont have live desktop | 21:32 |
| ubuntutlups | kevinO where can i donwload the oficial torrent ? | 21:32 |
| kevinO | which i have only used once | 21:32 |
| J-n | spuddys: I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP (don't use XP much tho) My friend can boot Vista, XP and Ubuntu. | 21:32 |
| ubuntutlups | from the oficial ubuntu site... | 21:32 |
| hsn- | bobertdos: thx, i'll download it now.. i've heard that it has problem with the audio/wifi (on a toshiba laptop) is it true? if so how can i fix it | 21:32 |
| kevinO | !alternate | 21:32 |

| kevinO | at the bottom there.... | 21:33 |
| stefg | spuddys: it is possible, but too dangerous. | 21:33 |
| spuddys | DAngeous in messing ubuntu | 21:33 |
| spuddys | or whole pc | 21:33 |
| ubuntutlups | Alternate.. ? | 21:33 |
| stefg | spuddys: whole pc | 21:33 |
| spuddys | ok | 21:33 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, youll also need a torrent manager, are you running windows or linux? | 21:33 |
| ubuntutlups | if i burn the alternate CD i will just get the boot option ? | 21:33 |
| DuKeS | bobertdos: another question...once i install ubuntu...will i be able to access my folders from windows? i ask because i don't want to import my music again rather just play it from its current location (same with videos) | 21:33 |
| ubuntutlups | im using Linux | 21:33 |
| ubuntutlups | i got Azerous | 21:33 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, yes that is the laternate, you can see it in the filename | 21:34 |
| kevinO | ok | 21:34 |
| kevinO | you should be se then | 21:34 |
| stefg | spuddys: waht about that 80 G drive thatÄs in that system. is that available? | 21:34 |
| kevinO | set* | 21:34 |
| bobertdos | hsn-: Well, with every distro, hardware support tends to get better. Ibex is due in a month, I'd imagine even if you run into problems with Heron, they might get fixed with Ibex. Until then, we can try to help you troubleshoot audio and wifi problems if they come up. | 21:34 |

| lucax | qah: ask | 21:37 |
| spuddys | THink i found away ste | 21:37 |
| Mike231 | If I want to create a partition to do a proper install of Ubuntu (instead of the WUBI I have now), the partition manager's asking for what file type, but the only ones I can pick are ext2, ext3, linux-swap, and unformatted. What should I pick? | 21:37 |
| DasEi | ohgodnotanother1: sudo mount shows you evrythng | 21:37 |
| ubuntutlups | kevin0 thats the ubuntu version that hast no live CD version | 21:37 |
| ubuntutlups | and i just get the prompt to install it.. | 21:37 |
| stefg | spuddys: if i where you i'd get a good windows backup program (i like TrueImage), do a complete image of the windows install (which will possibly fit into 80G b/c of compression), then repartition the drive with 50-60 G space unused at the end and then do a proper ubuntu-install with that space | 21:37 |
| J-n | Mike231: ext3 | 21:37 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | DasEi: yup I know | 21:37 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: Yes, the partitioner SHOULD automatically take care of all that. You will need to install restricted codecs to play all your stuff though. | 21:38 |
| qah | I am trying to make a cross-platform software for Windows and Linux. For the windows code, I encase in with #ifdef WIN32. That tells if it is compiling and running on windows. But how about Linux. what define can I use for linux? | 21:38 |
| Mike231 | J-n: Thanks | 21:38 |
| eaqua | qah: _LINUX_ ? | 21:38 |
| guntbert | kevinO: thx 4 the pointer, I never looked far enough to the bottom to find the torrents :) | 21:38 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, you are confused. you said you have no need for the live cd. the live cd contains the live desktop. which means you can boot any computer from that disc. | 21:38 |
| abdoo | hey | 21:38 |
| DuKeS | bobertdos: yeah i know about the codecs...gstreamer codecs should take care of that right? | 21:39 |
| ubuntutlups | yes i am confused. | 21:39 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, the alternate link i sent you is still normal ubuntu | 21:39 |
| qah | No. _LINUX_ doesn't work | 21:39 |
| ubuntutlups | ok what you mean normal ? | 21:39 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, you just wont be able to run it from the cd | 21:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | qah: what you mean linux dont work? | 21:39 |
| qah | when I put #else around the non windows code it works. | 21:39 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: Most formats, yes, although you might need w32codecs for Microsoft formats (from the medibuntu repo). | 21:39 |
| cenubis | hello | 21:39 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, do you understand now? | 21:39 |
| cenubis | why does my aircard no longer function with wvdial in 8.04? | 21:40 |
| Gnea | qah: we don't support programming in here, we're just a general help forum. have you tried #ubuntu-devel or #programming? | 21:40 |
| qah | No | 21:40 |
| qah | Okay. I will go there. Thanks | 21:40 |
| ubuntutlups | kevin0 after i download that alternate iso and burn it up i will be able to install ubuntu without any live cd interference.. right ? | 21:40 |
| DasEi | ohgodnotanother1: so you see where its mounted, for fstab you have to name a device, next block is the mountpoint | 21:40 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, yes | 21:41 |
| kevinO | ubuntutlups, and it will install gnome as your desktop | 21:41 |
| jarco | can i also ask open office questions here? | 21:41 |
| ubuntutlups | kevin0 thanks.. have a nice afternoon | 21:41 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: Don't worry, if something doesn't go as perfectly as it should, we're always around to help :) | 21:41 |
| lucax | jarco: sure | 21:42 |
| danbh_intrepid | jarco: why not in the openoffice chat? | 21:42 |
| DuKeS | bobertdos: ok i guess i can find further info on those if i get into problems playing some of my stuff. If it's not too much to ask i do want some help setting up my video card | 21:42 |
| spuddys | thanks stefg | 21:42 |
| jarco | whats the channel? | 21:42 |
| kevinO | it could be an ubuntu issue :) | 21:42 |
| kevinO | so lets see :P | 21:42 |
| guntbert | ubuntutlups: you can install from the desktop CD or from the alternate CD, but with the Desktop CD you can have a running ubuntu, even without installation - thats called "live CD" | 21:42 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | DasEi: ok. so that point is clear. but still the graphic driver doesn't work :( | 21:42 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: What do you have? | 21:42 |
| DuKeS | bobertdos: for some reason everytime i try ubuntu (i tried 7.04 and 7.10 before) and for some reason my video playback is choppy...which is the reason i always end up uninstalling it :( | 21:42 |

| bobertdos | DuKeS: No offense, but uh, your video issues most likely have a lot more to do with your hardware than it does with Ubuntu. I would completely ignore the prompts to install t he restricted drivers. Also, you might want to set gstreamer-properties to use a simpler rendering device, if possible. | 21:47 |

| Sunborn | and if it was a bad thing | 22:02 |
| jrib | Sunborn: there's none really. It just gives you a graphical way to screw up your system instead of using the command line to do it | 22:02 |

| mrbichel | Hello, i am interested in getting involved with ubuntu development. Is this the right channel to ask for guidance regarding that? | 22:08 |
| bobertdos | DuKeS: Ditto to what Jack_Sparrow said. Yes, start with all the updates. As far as everything else is concerned, this is my general rule of thumb: Start with the most basic components first, see if they satisfy your needs, if not, slowly try other things (especially when it comes to video drivers). | 22:08 |
| Aura- | Sliss: check for bad sectors | 22:09 |
| venome | Sliss: use fsck | 22:09 |
| venome | Sliss: or badblocks | 22:09 |

| Mark_Jones | Well thats fine if all I had to deal with is just the 2 disks, but Ill have 5 or more when done backing up the entire repositories for ubuntu. | 22:11 |

| myk_robinson | hey, guys. Got a Gateway M-6881 laptop with Intel X3100 graphics. Kubuntu claims to be using the vesa driver, but if i run glxinfo, it shows direct rendering support. Should i be using a different driver, or is this the best one to use? | 22:22 |

| Aura- | myk_robinson: yes, you can get direct rendering through MESA; however your driver will determine its speed at rendering. | 22:23 |
| Aura- | using the vesa driver can work; but it'll be slow, and things like desktop effects won't work at a happy speed | 22:24 |
| myk_robinson | when I manually select my model of video card, VESA is the default driver. What package do i need to install | 22:24 |

| waterflask | ciaran: Seems iostat might be useful, albeit I get the feeling I need to read the man page before I can tell. | 22:38 |
| ivantis | jimcooncat: like when i press Ctrl+Alt+F1 at a normal install? | 22:38 |
| Dragon | I'm trying to run vent through wine and i'm getting an error Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10 | 22:39 |

| ozzloy | i'm trying to set my computer to request a static ip. i'm in the eth0 properties and i've set the IP address. what gateway address should i use? | 22:40 |
| jimcooncat | ivantis: yes. Though I do highly recommend setting up ssh as well. | 22:40 |
| ozzloy | like the address of the router? | 22:40 |
| ivantis | jimcooncat: okay thanks | 22:41 |
| ozzloy | actually maybe i have that part correct | 22:41 |
| EvilDaemon | What's the command to open the directory '/' as root? | 22:41 |
| EvilDaemon | graphically, please | 22:41 |
| jrib | EvilDaemon: why? What do you want to do? | 22:41 |
| ozzloy | i can ping my box, and i can bring up the apache server page on it from another box. but i can't ping out from that box | 22:42 |
| ozzloy | ping google.com says network is unreachable | 22:42 |
| EvilDaemon | I need to change permissions to a file in /home/EvilDaemon, which only has root permissions. | 22:42 |
| EvilDaemon | @jrib | 22:42 |
| ozzloy | ifconfig shows no ip | 22:42 |
| ivantis | ozzloy: does your ISP allow static IPs? | 22:42 |
| jrib | EvilDaemon: gksudo nautilus | 22:42 |
| ozzloy | but i can go to 192.168.1.20 | 22:42 |
| EvilDaemon | thanks. | 22:42 |
| ozzloy | ivantis: this is internal | 22:42 |
| lesergi | hi! | 22:42 |
| ivantis | oh | 22:42 |
| YngMom | l | 22:43 |
| ozzloy | so my "ISP" does allow static IPs. in fact, i've been using this one for a while | 22:43 |
| ivantis | possibly your router is not configured for static IPs | 22:43 |
| ozzloy | but just this morning it stopped | 22:43 |
| ozzloy | and i changed some stuff around trying to get it to work | 22:43 |
| ivantis | ozzloy: what company you get your net from? | 22:43 |
| ozzloy | eventually i found that something's wrong with the hardware | 22:43 |
| ozzloy | so i've connected using different wires | 22:44 |
| ozzloy | i don't know the company i get the net from in this office | 22:44 |
| ciaran | waterflask - good luck | 22:44 |
| ivantis | ozzloy: so what is the problem specifically? | 22:44 |
| ozzloy | but that's not important. this is entirely within the network | 22:44 |
| nigma | hi all, one simple question, how do I uncompress an iso to a dir? | 22:44 |
| waterflask | ciaran: Thanks for the pointer | 22:45 |
| bobertdos | Is there anything in the wiki to answer that, nigma? | 22:45 |
| ivantis | nigma: is this using a command line interface or GUI? | 22:45 |
| bobertdos | !iso > nigma | 22:45 |

| Kagimaro | Hello everyone | 22:45 |
| nigma | ok ty | 22:45 |
| B3z3rk3r | nigma: you need to mount iso files i think | 22:45 |
| ozzloy | so that's weird | 22:45 |
| lesergi | help with packaging please! When I try to package my software trough rules file I install files in debian/name but dpkg-buildpackage does not take that! why?? | 22:46 |
| ivantis | ozzloy: sorry i dont think im qualified to help you | 22:46 |
| ozzloy | just to be sure, i tried it again. i can still connect to the bugzilla server, but i can't connect from the bugzilla server to anything | 22:46 |
| ivantis | or... | 22:46 |
| ozzloy | like i can't even ping the router | 22:47 |

| ivantis | k | 22:47 |
| ozzloy | pinging google doesn't work, but dns resolved the ip at least | 22:47 |
| ozzloy | wtf? | 22:47 |
| ivantis | bobertdos: where did your name come from? | 22:47 |
| ivantis | ozzloy: the IP is probably stored in a cache | 22:48 |
| ozzloy | ok, nothing is broken, everything is fine | 22:48 |
| bobertdos | ivantis: I just made it up, a long time ago. Why? | 22:48 |
| saintbob | browsers still acting funny Firefox still won't access my yahoo mail account Konqueror does but only opens some emails | 22:48 |

| pianoboy3333 | ceil420: I dont' see debs there, the download instructions just say get it from the ubuntu repos, which is version 0.8.6 | 22:59 |
| bobertdos | genius: then I recommend htop. | 22:59 |
| Jospeh | Ah goodness... it's due tomorow, and I'm wasting time now. I guess I'll just have to take the loss and be mad at ubuntu | 22:59 |

| ceil420 | pianoboy3333, i doubt it would cause a problem. i'd test it, but i don't use ubuntu | 23:03 |

| dougsko | ozzloy: yep. i dont know if thats exactly what youre looking for, but it is kinda neat | 23:10 |
| airtonix | Gizmo_The_Great, you can make symlinks with nautilus by using the "ctrl+shift and dragging the object" operation | 23:10 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | bobertdos, yeah - I just read up on that. My earlier attempts were failing because it was a directory and, as you say, you need the -s swithc for that | 23:11 |

| OrangeKyo | tbwen, make a script? | 23:24 |
| airtonix | Jacobbs, i could be vague, but i definitly did not install any exotic packages like envy | 23:24 |
| tbwen | so i can just type package after another and it will install them with one apt-get install command? | 23:25 |
| Jacobbs | Well I'm reading that help thing now | 23:25 |
| saintbob | hardy | 23:25 |

| plytheman | right oh, lemme try messing with windows a bit | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | plytheman, i also tend to install the full samba packages on ubuntu, and set up the homes directory to be shared. | 23:54 |

| bobertdos | ej: and yes, that first / is necessary | 23:57 |
