| Jack_Sparrow | !lamp | 00:04 |
| 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+) | 00:04 |

| tonyyarusso | outbri: Ick. Bug filed yet? | 00:13 |
| airtonix | tonyyarusso, lap its because both your choice of browser use the gecko rendering engine | 00:13 |

| tonyyarusso | airtonix: acknowledged. | 00:14 |
| lap | tonyyarusso: flash10 ? | 00:14 |

| jrib | lorph: so use APT. Or if you really think you have to, install your own version in /usr/local/. In any case, python -c 'import sys; print sys.path;' will tell you the path | 00:22 |

| Happy | test | 00:34 |

| badfish | i'm supposed to edit 45-libsane.rules but for some reason the file isn't there | 00:38 |
| unop | learning22, somewhat, the basic syntax is the same - but Gnu find (the one ubuntu uses) has some extra functionality that is not compatible with the BSD find | 00:38 |
| dr_willis | xsystemx, vncserver --kill :1 or whatever # it is | 00:38 |
| cliechti | xsystemx: because you start many vnc severs. use vncserver -kill :1 etc to stop them | 00:38 |
| bringatowel | plytheman: yeah try smb:// in the file browser (nautilus) or use pyneighborhood if you want to mount the network shares locally | 00:38 |

| bringatowel | tamer: also you can install it from Add / Remove, just enable the 3rd party -nonfree software source | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | xsystemx, its not a service. so it dosent have a runlevel - you CAN set up vnc as a service.. but i rarely bother. | 00:40 |

| cliechti | xsystemx: there are howtos for setting up vns with xinit. connect with vnc and you have to loging, then the desktop is laoded | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | xsystemx, if you mean select which desktop ot use.. as in 'show gdm' then you could set up vncserver to do that.. i just dont rember how. I think ive seen the forums mention doing it that way | 00:42 |
| bringatowel | plytheman: sure thing, i like pyneighborhood alot, it isn't the only way though, there are tons of other options :) | 00:42 |
| xsystemx | kk, thx | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | You could alwyas have root run vncserver, and have his xstartup run gdm. BUT that may cause issues. | 00:43 |
| plytheman | i just dont get why it isn't showing up under 'network places' in ubuntu's normal file browser | 00:43 |
| puff | jrib: Yeah, I've been restarting apache after every change as I try to troubleshoot this. I'll try clearing my browser cache. | 00:43 |
| puff | jrib: Oddly enough, clearing the cache did it. | 00:43 |
| bringatowel | plytheman: you can also use places -> connect to server or just type smb://*serveridaddress* in the file browser | 00:43 |
| jrib | puff: that's why it's there :) | 00:44 |
| puff | jrib: I guess it was probalbythe libapache2-mod-php5 reinstall. | 00:44 |
| bringatowel | plytheman: probably that is for network places which have already been added | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | plytheman, ive seen some issues where the gnome file browser just dosent see/show windows shares. ive used other tools and they saw the shares, or i mounted the shares manually and they worked.. just gnomes file manager had isues.. (and i dont know why) :) | 00:44 |

| el3allali | i have a big problem with my nvidia graphic card | 00:46 |
| plytheman | yup | 00:46 |
| bringatowel | plytheman: you might need to instal smbfs | 00:46 |
| plytheman | I'm still in the honeymoon phase with ubuntu, so I'm assuming the problem is on the windows side | 00:46 |
| bringatowel | plytheman: i think its just "apt-get install smbfs" | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | plytheman, i tend to use fusesmb to access the windows shares -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb i just like how it works better then the way the filemanagers do it. | 00:46 |

| cliechti | genius: depends on your router... look how you can forward port 22 | 00:50 |
| genius | cliechti: my router is Ubuntu server with it's own ssh | 00:50 |
| Timberwolf5578 | If you have more than one server open on Xchat, does it tend to freeze? | 00:50 |
| cliechti | genius: so the users are loggin into that box? or do you want then to log in to a box in your internal network? | 00:51 |

| cliechti | genius: if you are running it as firewall/router you may want to use iptables to set up a port forward | 00:53 |
| hotmonkeyluv | cliechti, DasEi: so, um, if I say....deleted the /boot partition, is there a way to get the kernel back? | 00:53 |
| genius | cliechti: oh! o forgot about them | 00:53 |
| cliechti | hotmonkeyluv: dont reboot then ;-) and reinstall the "linux" package | 00:53 |
| hotmonkeyluv | well, it's a little late for that cliechti | 00:54 |
| hotmonkeyluv | darn it | 00:54 |
| hotmonkeyluv | could I start the live cd and then fix it? | 00:54 |
| tonyyarusso | hotmonkeyluv: possibly. | 00:54 |
| cliechti | hotmonkeyluv: boot from a live CD and "chroot" to your disk to run the installation | 00:54 |
| OrangeKyo | ubuntu uses gnome, and kubuntu uses kde right? if i want to use kalarm, do i need to get kde, since i have ubuntu right now. is there a gnome equivalent for kalarm? i just want a quick prog that will set an alarm from the command line | 00:54 |

| badfish | is it generally advisable to change the usb mode from 0664 to 0666 in 40-basic-permissions.rules? | 00:55 |
| DasEi | hotmonkeyluv: the exact kernelversion? e.g. 2.6.24-16-server | 00:55 |

| tonyyarusso | fxhp: That's your punishment for looking at myspace. | 00:56 |
| tonyyarusso | It's intentional. | 00:56 |
| hotmonkeyluv | DasEi: I don't know | 00:56 |

| badfish | is it generally advisable to change the usb mode from 0664 to 0666 in 40-basic-permissions.rules? | 00:56 |
| bringatowel | is there any way to determine, from the command line, what speed the lan is connected (10mbps or 100mbps)? | 00:56 |
| bringatowel | fxhp: are you using FireFox 3? | 00:56 |
| blak | Does anyone know where I can find people who know about using 802.1x security over wifi that can help me out? | 00:56 |
| cliechti | hotmonkeyluv: it "moves" the root (that is /) to your disk. so it is as if you hadd booted from your disk and it will use all the settings from your installation. i.e. all you apt-get in the chroot will be installed on the disk, not in the live system | 00:57 |
| DasEi | hotmonkeyluv: are you in hardy now ? deleted it from there while system is still up ? | 00:57 |
| fxhp | bringatowel: Yes, ff3, but ff2 does the same thing. I don't use myspace often, but its a hassle when I let others use my computer. | 00:57 |
| hotmonkeyluv | DasEi: no, i'm on a different computer | 00:57 |
| cliechti | hotmonkeyluv: i guess it should be possible to "chroot /media/diskyxx" then run "apt-get install --reinstall linux" and "update-grub" to fix it | 00:58 |

| matrix | hi all, how do i know what is my wlan mode is ? | 00:58 |
| matrix | like the current mode it is set on. | 00:59 |
| cliechti | hotmonkeyluv: you use chroot to enter the partition your linux was installed. that is the level where you see /etc, /home, /usr ... | 00:59 |
| DasEi | hotmonkeyluv: once you have it dleted and down, a fresh install next to a chroot-riot via live cd would be easiest then, important files on that broken pc ? | 00:59 |
| clint_ | why did ub8 go is pidgin insted of gaim | 00:59 |

I'm trying to write a guide on what motherboards to look for when buying a new PC, but the info on the net is very scattered. Yes, I've tried the ubuntu docs, but it has very limited info | 00:59 |
| cliechti | hotmonkeyluv: the disk has to be mounted, but thats probably easy with the ubuntu live cd, just clock the disk icon :-) | 00:59 |
| bringatowel | fxhp: ff3 should be fastest, if that is still slow im not sure what to suggest, you can use a plugin to block flash loading which speeds things up alot, but idk why it would be so slow in the first place | 00:59 |

| starn | dose anybody know how to fix the echo in teamspeak while using padsp? i've tried the alsa oss command and i just get no sound... and runing it normaly makes no sound for other programs.. | 01:33 |
| cliechti | colika: hm. i don't know exactly. i put the "tomato" firmware on my linksys. it also has a "routing" mode instead of NAT. that might help. anyway its off topic for this channel | 01:34 |
| colika | i said i dont know is the ubuntu responsible for my problem or not :$ | 01:35 |
| tyler_ | I have a problem with sound, it wont work on my origional copy but when i put hte Uubntu live cd it works just fine | 01:35 |
| Mr_Fixit | hmmm weird question... but can i connect to 2 networks at the same time?? like my eth and wlan | 01:36 |
| toabctl | Mr_Fixit, no | 01:36 |
| Mr_Fixit | anyway around that?? | 01:37 |

| Yasumoto | tyler_: I have an issues too, but haven't actually read this page yet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 01:37 |
| toabctl | Mr_Fixit, with ubuntu 8.10,that will work. so you have to wait one more month | 01:37 |
| Yasumoto | tyler_: hopefully it helps | 01:37 |
| Mr_Fixit | sounds good mate.. | 01:37 |
| Mr_Fixit | thanks toabctl | 01:37 |
| ubuntutlups | hi i did this to get the checkSUM | 01:37 |
| puff | Lately (roughly since I switched to hardy) firefox seems to be beating the bejezus out of my CPU and memory. | 01:37 |
| lwizardl | anyone here setup a cash register on Linux ? | 01:37 |
| ubuntutlups | md5sum ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso | 01:37 |
| ubuntutlups | and got the key. | 01:38 |
| ubuntutlups | bbd21ded02c06b41c59485266833937a ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso | 01:38 |
| lwizardl | puff, same here | 01:38 |
| ubuntutlups | but i dont know if its the right key. | 01:38 |
| ubuntutlups | because i burn it onto a CD and did Cd verify and it got an error | 01:38 |
| puff | It's really annoying... firefox itself is slow as heck now. | 01:38 |
| tyler_ | yasurmoto: When i type ALSAMIXER in terminal i get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 01:39 |
| toabctl | Mr_Fixit, sorry for the answer, but it's possible to use 2 connections at the same time. but not with network manager. | 01:39 |
| Edulix | hi | 01:39 |
| puff | And this is on a thinkpad with a 2.13Ghz pentiumM and 2GB of ram! | 01:39 |
| Edulix | I've got the adobe flash plugin activated, but I want to try gnash, how to do that? I've got it already installed.. | 01:40 |
| === NCommander is now known as MAC | ||
| toabctl | Mr_Fixit, but it's a bit diffucult to do and you can not use networkmanager anymore. so wait 1 month for 8.10, then networkmanager can do. | 01:40 |
| DasEi | ubuntulups: so go again to downlaod location and compare md5, most times is bad burning the fault | 01:40 |
| === MAC is now known as NCommander | ||
| Mr_Fixit | well i am a patient man toabctl... | 01:41 |
| BrianFox_ | is it possible to tell grub to install to the mbr of a disk other than the first disk? | 01:42 |
| === nate__ is now known as xXx | ||
| cliechti | Edulix: in firefox you can control the plugins using extras->add ons -> plugins tab. just deactivate the one you dont want | 01:43 |
| === xXx is now known as Guest49222 | ||
| Gekitsuu | BrianFox_: I think you just do grub-install /dev/hda or what ever device you want to install to | 01:43 |
| kwyjibo | where is the gedit binary stored | 01:43 |
| Guest49222 | is there a way i can extend my desktop, create different resolution settings, different wallpaper etc. onto a monitor. does a program exist to assist me with this | 01:43 |
| cliechti | kwyjibo: try "which gedit" | 01:43 |
| BrianFox_ | Gekitsuu, the doco i found says that this puts the grub images to that location, but still uses the primary mbr | 01:43 |
| kwyjibo | cliechti, thank you :) | 01:43 |
| toabctl | Edulix, you have to install mozilla-plugin-gnash. | 01:44 |
| AthlonFanBoy | is it possible to have a swap file? | 01:44 |
| toabctl | Edulix, then you can run on the console: sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin | 01:44 |
| cliechti | AthlonFanBoy: yes | 01:44 |
| BrianFox_ | i can tell my system to boot from another disk, but can't seem to get grub on that mbr | 01:44 |
| genius | anyone familiar with iptables? i want to forward port inside the network with nat. do i have to use masquerading? | 01:44 |

| nate- | is there a way i can extend my desktop, create different resolution settings, different wallpaper etc. onto a monitor. does a program exist to assist me with this | 01:45 |
| Strang3r | is there somebody ? | 01:45 |
| TimStarling | why does this happen? | 01:45 |
| nate- | sorry i had changed names and somethin screwed up | 01:45 |
| Strang3r | nate ? | 01:45 |
| cliechti | genius: masquerading *is" NAT. its waht you use for the outgoing connection. port forwatind is somethink elese, i think (long ago i used iptables myself) | 01:45 |
| nate- | yes? | 01:46 |
| AthlonFanBoy | How small should i shrink my 500GB ntfs partition? | 01:46 |
| Strang3r | do u have the ubuntu installed with Virtualbox | 01:46 |
| Strang3r | ? | 01:46 |
| Tramp | masquerading is SNAT, port forwarding is DNAT | 01:46 |
| nate- | any idea | 01:46 |
| nate- | ? | 01:46 |
| === tlegistrae is now known as Phrozen | ||
| Strang3r | do u have the normal instalation of Ubuntu | 01:46 |
| Strang3r | or u have installed it | 01:47 |
| Strang3r | in virtualbox ? | 01:47 |
| cliechti | nate-: system preferences -> screen resolution should be able to configre multi screen environments on recent ubunuts | 01:47 |
| === Phrozen is now known as SoccerCore11 | ||
| nate- | okie doke | 01:47 |
| Strang3r | yeah, but if it`s installed in virtualbox | 01:47 |
| Strang3r | this won`t help | 01:47 |
| Strang3r | whatever | 01:47 |
| nate- | no its regular install | 01:47 |
| Strang3r | can somebody tell me some good torrent client ? | 01:47 |
| genius | cliechti: no you are wrong. there is DNAT that can be masqueraded too. so internal clients see internal ip | 01:47 |
| badfish | what's the terminal command to move a file? | 01:47 |
| SoccerCore11 | mv | 01:47 |
| toabctl | genius, see: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/73 very small article | 01:47 |

| genius | toabctl: that article has mistakes. look comments. and it does not work for me :(( | 01:48 |
| nate- | deluge | 01:48 |
| toabctl | luis08, what commands you tried? | 01:48 |
| el3allali | EnvyNG didn't fix my problem with my nvidia gc | 01:48 |

| luis08 | toabctl: rsh machine trying ssh machine works fine | 01:49 |
| SoccerCore11 | how do we disable the connects and disconnects messages? | 01:49 |
| gluonman | Does anyone know how I can configure vmware so that my guest Windows XP can connect wirelessly? | 01:49 |
| toabctl | luis08, and when ssh works fine, whats the problem? | 01:49 |
| luis08 | toabctl: I need rsh, not ssh | 01:50 |
| nate- | okay i still cant get this right... | 01:50 |
| Bogus8 | why does my fat32 formated usb flash drive show up like this? http://www.pastebin.ca/1205456 | 01:50 |
| toabctl | luis08, ok. but rsh is unsecure. but im sure you know;) | 01:50 |
| luis08 | toabctl: I know, but I still need it | 01:50 |
| nate- | it isnt reading there is a monitor | 01:50 |
| nate- | attached | 01:50 |
| SoccerCore11 | gluonman, i recommend virtualbox instead of vmware, but you need to set your network to NAT, as long as you can connect wirelessly with ubuntu | 01:50 |
| chris______ | 1 million dollar question: is there a file system readable/writable by both windows and macOS that allows filesizes over 4 gig? | 01:51 |
| toabctl | luis08, are you sure that on the remote machine is an rsh server running and an open port? | 01:51 |
| nate- | yes. | 01:51 |
| AthlonFanBoy | chris______: ext3 i think | 01:51 |
| nate- | yeah | 01:51 |
| nate- | haha | 01:51 |
| chris______ | AthlonFanBoy: xp cant see ext3 | 01:51 |
| nate- | yea it can | 01:51 |
| luis08 | toabctl: well, the packages are installed, but I'm not sure which port rsh uses | 01:51 |
| gluonman | SoccerCore11, since I installed my VMWare Windows, I've received hundreds of recommendations for VirtualBox. Oh well. But I will go ahead and try what you said. But the other things that I needed to figure out is support for sound and video hardware with the guest OS. | 01:51 |
| Bogus8 | sure it can | 01:51 |
| AthlonFanBoy | it can see ext2 | 01:52 |
| nate- | gotta install the driver thats all | 01:52 |
| AthlonFanBoy | ext3 is backwards compatiable with ext2 | 01:52 |
| Strang3r | can somebody tell me what`s the terminal comand | 01:52 |
| nate- | gay xp> and its drivers | 01:52 |
| Strang3r | to create a text file | 01:52 |
| toabctl | luis08, try "sudo lsof -i -n" to see all open ports on a machine. | 01:52 |
| AthlonFanBoy | no | 01:52 |
| Strang3r | ? | 01:52 |
| Strang3r | pls ... | 01:52 |
| AthlonFanBoy | o nm | 01:52 |
| el3allali | what's going wrong between ubuntu and nvidia gc ?!! | 01:52 |
| Strang3r | i just installed the ubuntu for first time :/ | 01:52 |
| MrD | Hi does any one know any good free rpg games for ubuntu | 01:52 |
| toabctl | luis08, if you don't have access to the rsh-server machine, you have to use a portscanner. | 01:52 |
| SoccerCore11 | gluonman, virtualbox is a 22meg dl, give it a shot ;) | 01:52 |
| badfish | will mv move a directory? | 01:52 |
| chris______ | and macOS can read ext3 aswell? | 01:52 |
| MrD | virtualbox is alot better | 01:53 |
| gluonman | SoccerCore11, actualy, is it possible to take my existing Windows XP and open it in VirtualBox? Or would I have to reinstall Windows? | 01:53 |
| SoccerCore11 | yes, you can actually :) | 01:53 |
| Bogus8 | it's based off unix why not | 01:53 |
| MrD | gluonman, yes it is possible | 01:53 |
| onx | chris______, osx is actually unix based | 01:53 |
| Jinko | mv does move directories, badfish. | 01:53 |
| CorbinFox | wacom tablets work fine under 8.04, right? and should I try the upgrade feature for 7.10 or just delete the 7.10 partition and and install in the empty space | 01:54 |
| gluonman | MrD, SoccerCore11, cool. I'll give it a try. | 01:54 |
| chris______ | onx: that does not mean it "wants" to read foreign file systems | 01:54 |
| SoccerCore11 | gluonman, you just set virtualbox to use the premade HD image | 01:54 |
| luis08 | toabctl: it's strange, I don't see an rsh daemon in "/etc/init.d/"... it should be there, right? | 01:54 |
| gluonman | SoccerCore11, VirtualBox will automatically support the sound and video hardware and wireless automatically? | 01:54 |
| Bogus8 | chris______: windows doesn't WANT to read ext3 but it CAN | 01:54 |
| onx | chris______, it means you can whip it into shape though :) | 01:54 |
| ubuntutlups | i got a small question how do i burn the image using the default burner of Linux. | 01:55 |
| ubuntutlups | it says write to disc | 01:55 |
| SoccerCore11 | video yes, sound, not so sure, wireless - you just piggyback off your current connection through linux | 01:55 |
| ubuntutlups | but it gives me 2 options | 01:55 |
| chris______ | ok thanks for your help guys... will find out how to teach xp to read/write ext3:) | 01:55 |
| gluonman | SoccerCore11, thank you very much. | 01:55 |
| carandraug | ubuntutlups: just right click on the image and select burn to disc | 01:56 |

| Macro_Zzz | Bogus8, really? where can i get this ext3 for windows? | 01:56 |
| chris______ | if you say OSX is fine with it... | 01:56 |
| toabctl | luis08, i don't know. i never tried rsh | 01:56 |
| ubuntutlups | DVD A DH20A3P and File Image | 01:56 |
| gluonman | SoccerCore11, I'll be back if I run into problems I can't fix on my own. | 01:56 |
| SoccerCore11 | gluonman, there is a CD image that you can mount to install more drivers, just like in vmware | 01:56 |
| Bogus8 | Macro_Zzz: not sure off top of my head... done it before... google | 01:56 |
| bobertdos | ubuntutlups: the first one | 01:56 |
| Dragon | My sound isn't working...I've been fooling with the sound mixers and settings but its still broken, I'm using headphones. | 01:56 |
| ubuntutlups | bobertdos thanks.. | 01:56 |
| carandraug | ubuntutlups: choose DVD A DH20A3P the other one will create another iso | 01:56 |
| gluonman | SoccerCore11, can I get the ISO for that somewhere? | 01:56 |
| whileimhee | closed both of my panels. How can I get one back? | 01:56 |
| ubuntutlups | so the first one will burn the image as bottable and the other will make another ISO image right ? | 01:57 |
| SoccerCore11 | anyone with knowledge of kernel compiling? | 01:57 |
| Jinko | Dragon, have you tried logging out and back in? | 01:57 |
| Dragon | Jinko: yes | 01:57 |
| bobertdos | ubuntutlups: correct | 01:57 |
| toabctl | SoccerCore11, ubuntu-kernel or from kernel.org ? | 01:57 |
| SoccerCore11 | gluonman, its included, just install tools from the menu, you will figure it out | 01:57 |
| Dragon | Jinko: Is there a way to set all the defaults on mixers and what not | 01:57 |

| bobertdos | ubuntutlups: I would certainly think so, unless there's a different key for .1, but I wouldn't think there would be....... | 01:59 |
| droopsta915 | what does a hardy heron DVD do? is it just the OS? | 02:00 |
| toabctl | SoccerCore11, you read this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 02:00 |
| Macro_Zzz | droopsta915, its the install disc | 02:00 |

| SoccerCore11 | toabctl, i hove read alot of things, 16 hrs + on it, any makeconfig changes i do makes the kernel unbootable, couldnt find anything online about it | 02:02 |
| woli | Jinko: does exile organize music also? | 02:02 |
| Jinko | woli: Wouldn't know, I'm afraid, not used it. | 02:02 |
| carandraug | hadi57: sorry. I've reread your message. In my country when we say flash we actually mean usb stick. Opps | 02:02 |
| outbri | XArcade: once you have vnc installed you should be able to go to where I directed you in the last message, and it will have a place for you to enter a password | 02:02 |
| onx | Jinko, it does, and it doesn't need kde libs | 02:02 |
| woli | i've heard that its based on amarok... but for gtk... nvm: ill look it up | 02:02 |

| toabctl | wers, try to start recovery mode and run fschk again. | 02:05 |
| wers | toabctl, did that | 02:05 |
| wers | for a number of times | 02:06 |
| XArcade | outbri, i dont get it, is vnc already installed on ubuntu cd and running when system starts or do i have to install vnc ON ubuntu once it is running ? i am using windows to connect to ubuntu using vnc | 02:06 |
| szal | wers: get a live CD (preferably something other than *buntu), boot it up, look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ whether your root partition's UUID has changed (by comparing it with that written in /etc/fstab) and, if necessary, change it in /etc/fstab | 02:06 |
| EvilDaemon | What is the command to 'move to trash' | 02:06 |
| woli | does anybody here use exaile? | 02:07 |
| woli | i want to know if it organizes music in the folder... | 02:07 |
| toabctl | wers, hm. maybe you have to install you bootloader new? but im not sure. | 02:07 |
| outbri | XArcade: not sure myself. you can open up a terminal and type in vnc and hit tab, if a few different vnc options don't show up, then you'll have to install it | 02:07 |
| Jinko | woli: Do you mean reordering them at their location? ie: In your music folder? | 02:07 |
| woli | Jinko: yes | 02:07 |
| Jacobbs | I'm not getting the menu to come up on the live install CD | 02:08 |
| woli | Jinko: like if i have a song of van halen in the best of both worlds album, i want it to be placed under /Van Halen/Best of Both Worlds/song.mp3 | 02:08 |
| woli | in the music folder... | 02:08 |
| wers | szal, i'm on my windows partition right now. i can do it here, right? | 02:09 |
| XArcade | outbri, what i am trying to do here is to connect to Ubuntu machine because the machine where Ubuntu will be running has no video display on it (no screen, video chip is dead and video card not working) | 02:09 |
| Unbe | Alternately, if I have a module listed in /etc/modules, should it automatically take the options listed in /etc/modules.d/options? | 02:09 |
| outbri | XArcade: can you ssh to it? | 02:09 |
| Jinko | woli: Not that I know of. As far as I knew, music players only organised how the songs are displayed in the program. I don't know of any that reorganise your actual files. | 02:09 |
| XArcade | outbri, so i need to know if Ubuntu already has VNC installed and running and i just need to enter pass and user from windows machine to connect to it over the netwrok | 02:10 |
| woli | Jinko: so amarok does not accomplish that either? | 02:10 |
| szal | wers: if you have an ext filesystem driver for Windblows, you _can_ do it from within Windblows.. but I'd rather not recommend that as the ext drivers for Win appear to be a bit flaky and may cause data loss | 02:10 |
| XArcade | outbri, i dont know, i think i will have to download the x64 ubuntu because i have x32 only. | 02:10 |
| outbri | XArcade: from your windows machine you should be able to try to vnc to its ip address, if it doesn't work it isn't installed | 02:10 |
| case^ | does hamachi work in 8.04? | 02:10 |
| Jinko | woli: Nope. Only thing I know that does that is sound extractor, as it is extracting the songs, and that's not what you're after. | 02:11 |
| outbri | XArcade: no, x32 should work fine for it | 02:11 |
| Jacobbs | I can't press F6 :/ | 02:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok i'm trying to install ubuntu on this toshiba satelllite model 1805-s204 | 02:11 |
| woli | Jinko: nope... | 02:11 |
| Jacobbs | I never get there | 02:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it has windows xp on it | 02:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i stuck in the alternate cd and it said non disk or disk error change disk andpress any key to continue | 02:11 |
| XArcade | outbri | 02:12 |
| XArcade | ok | 02:12 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i tried the livecd and it gave me the same output | 02:12 |
| wers | oh my. szal, i can access other ext3 partitions but windows says that my ubuntu root partition is not formatted and it's asking me if i want to format it | 02:12 |
| Jacobbs | I'm using a live cd dvd, would that matter? | 02:12 |
| szal | wers: that screams for a fsck run --> no way around a live CD | 02:12 |
| exophonix | salut je vien de macheté un 2e disque dur et je ne suis pas capable dy accedé | 02:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok i got it to load the livecd | 02:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | now it's loading | 02:13 |
| Jinko | woli: Wouldn't know how you'd do that except manually, then, sorry. I suppose if you consistently name all of your songs very well, then you could possibly write a script that'd do it for you, but I wouldn't be sure where to start with that either, apologies. | 02:13 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | ok, as i said i'm trying to install ubuntu on a toshiba satelllite model 1805-s204 andi just got the livecd to boot up, it's just loading the gui, it's a very slow laptop with only 256 mb ram and a 5 gb hard drive, but one thing i notice is that the image is smaller than the size of the screen, about an inch frame of black surrounds the border of the gui for some reason | 02:19 |

| tomvolek | Hi all, I have a new Sony Vaio laptop 1600x900 , when i try to boot from CD to install Ubuntu on it, It does not recognize the resolution as a result only shows pixles of colors. What is the command to boot from CD in a different resolution ? | 02:51 |
| danbh_intrepid | puff: I get some heavy cpu usage on the bottom add | 02:51 |
| puff | Macrosoft: Yeah, sometimes I needit. | 02:51 |
| puff | danbh_intrepid: How do you know? | 02:51 |
| jada | alguien habla español | 02:51 |
| Bogus8 | when I drop it into my ubuntu desktop it mounts it as /dev/sde ... but my fat16 drive gets a number and doesn't have all those fdisk issues | 02:51 |
| puff | danbh_intrepid: Jinko Hm, not sure which I'musing. | 02:51 |
| Macrosoft | puff, like jinko said, the adobe version is pretty decent | 02:51 |

| Bogus8 | Jack_Sparrow: xp | 02:56 |

| chubs | Bogus8, it's working though, correct? | 02:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kthakore oo has a channel, but I dont know it | 02:57 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: so fat32 looks like that 4 crazy partitions and you mount to the device and not the partition? | 02:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Buffer I/O errror on device sr0 logical block | 02:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and it lists 0-7 | 02:57 |

| kthakore | I am trying to get oo3 beta 2 to load a dictionary | 02:57 |
| chubs | Bogus8, you mount the largest one, that's where the data is | 02:58 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: well, one brand new 8 gig super talent just gave up a ghost (but was acting funny before) | 02:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bogus8 Will that create partitions too? | 02:58 |
| carpediem | kthakore: #Openoffice.org | 02:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carpediem thanks | 02:58 |

| dr3mro | I read an articl on the web about how to speed ubuntu they claim that "preload" will enhance speed is that true? | 02:59 |
| chubs | Bogus8, then really, don't worry about it. if you want pretty partitions format it as ext2, but that's only if you plan on never needing to use it on windows ;) | 02:59 |
| Bogus8 | Jack_Sparrow: it came partitioned and formated already but I have reformatted from that | 02:59 |
| pawan | how to install pixel view tv tuner card | 03:00 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: I don't mind the crazy partitions if that is normal... just it giving up the ghost in the first day had me concerned | 03:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Jack_Sparrow, it gives me the same status {DRDY} and then logical block | 03:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what do i do? | 03:00 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: when I rsynced some data over it gave a bunch of errors, didn't complete and had some strange chars for files | 03:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CostaRicanQuaker Look up that laptop in supported hardware for more clues | 03:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | where? | 03:00 |
| v3ctor | baffle: do you want headless? | 03:01 |
| chubs | Bogus8, if you're really concerned that repartition it as fat32 in linux. should be the same crazy partitioning | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !hardware | 03:01 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 03:01 |
| onx | Bogus8, why not just reformat and test if it still has errors? | 03:01 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: I'm also manually mounting it with an ubuntu server to do my rsync'ing... just use my desktop to test out the partition issue | 03:01 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Bogus8 the gparted livecd is a great tool to have.. 50 megs or so for the iso | 03:02 |
| carpediem | pawan: Then add: options cx88xx card=27 tuner=59 | 03:02 |
| corporeal | is there a mysql package for ubuntu which has partitioning built in? | 03:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted | 03:02 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 03:02 |
| onx | Bogus8, just nuke those partitions and make your own | 03:02 |
| chubs | Bogus8, if you give me the output of fdisk i may be able to help some | 03:02 |
| corporeal | for some reason the default package doesnt have it | 03:02 |
| carpediem | pawan: Add a second line : options cx8800 | 03:02 |
| Bogus8 | Jack_Sparrow: I have several flavors of live cd's and a couple of installs on different boxes and I know fdisk | 03:03 |
| chubs | Jack_Sparrow, he doesn't need gparted, it's a flash drive | 03:03 |
| Hyperion2010 | is "make menuconfig" supposed to work if you are in a kernel source containing directory? | 03:03 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: let me go plug it back in my server again | 03:03 |
| carpediem | pawan: then reboot, should be gold. | 03:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chubs you can use gparted live on a flash drive | 03:03 |
| chubs | Jack_Sparrow, you can also toast bread in the oven, but it's a silly thing to do when you have a toaster | 03:03 |

| zcat[1] | Hmmm.. | 03:11 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: nah, I was just worried that somehow linux was corrupting some data and possible burned up the drive or something.. I know that is SHOULDN"T.. just thought it might be because of that whacky parttion table | 03:11 |
| atid | zcat: Just had the same problem with squashfs. Grub loader was a fault... ended up with a new install, however later I found that there was a conflict with the two CD rom drives I had connected. Try disconnecting one of them if you are running more than one CD rom | 03:11 |

| ^paradox^ | i dont see advanced in my menus | 03:15 |
| chubs | Bogus8, that is weird, but as long as there are four contacts usb can work, maybe they just repurposed a surplus of connectors, I take it this isn't a 'name-brand' drive? | 03:15 |
| sleepy_ | Wow this problem must be harder than I thought XD | 03:15 |
| unop | mEck0, are you sure? those are classic symptoms of copying content to FAT filesystems | 03:15 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: super talent... yeah, the computer side is only touching the outter contact patches | 03:16 |
| xan1th | sed8me: I'd really recommend running a better irc client than pidgin, hybrid is a great ircd though | 03:16 |

| pushpop | if I want to do c programming on my ubuntu box? Do i have to install the c library manually? It would find stdio? anyone know the answer to this by any chance? | 03:22 |
| gluonman_ | unop, I'm not completely sure. | 03:22 |
| gluonman_ | unop, but I don't believe so. | 03:22 |
| badfish | if i got a device working can i add it to the bot's list? | 03:23 |
| unop | gluonman_, taskset will only work if you have a multi-core processor, something like the dual-core or quad-core CPUs | 03:23 |
| supercom32 | When I create a new user, the only folder in this home directory is "Examples". How do I get Ubuntu to regenerate all files? | 03:23 |
| lwizardl | anyone here setup a cash register on Linux ? | 03:23 |
| Bogus8 | what happens if I mount something on top of something else? | 03:23 |
| gluonman_ | unop, I see. I'm thinking it doesn't apply to me. My computer is probably too old to have a dual-core processor. | 03:23 |
| sleepy_ | So then can someone help me get MKV functionality? Since no one seems to use Xine in Gnome | 03:24 |
| carpediem | sam_delta: did you blacklist bcm43xx? | 03:24 |
| chubs | lwizardl, I honestly doubt it, but searching for POS (point of sale) devices will yield some results | 03:24 |
| chubs | Bogus8, you mean in the same folder? | 03:24 |
| onx | sleepy, you could just get vlc and be done with it :) | 03:24 |
| supercom32 | I'm thinking maybe I added and deleted the users home directory once too many times and now when I re-create the user account it won't make the full home directory structure? | 03:24 |
| lwizardl | chubs, been doing that | 03:24 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: yeah, like I run the same mount command but change the device | 03:24 |
| v3ctor | sleepy_: did you try to run xine and explicitly tell it what driver to use? | 03:24 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: I apparently did it 3 times! | 03:24 |
| sam_delta | carpediem, let me check, but i believe it comes blacklisted by default | 03:24 |
| unop | mEck0, they aren't compatible, but there are ways to translate the permissions back and forth (which the newer ntfs-3g will address) - but right now, all ntfs-3g provides is write-access, permissions and compression and all the other ntfs extras are ignored. | 03:25 |
| sleepy_ | onx: I've heard VLC doesn't support MKV | 03:25 |
| v3ctor | sleepy_: xine -A alsa <filename>.mkv | 03:25 |
| Bogus8 | looks like each just replaced the other and stacked up... so when I umounted it dropped back to the previous one | 03:25 |
| sleepy_ | v3ctor, Yes I have | 03:25 |
| chubs | Bogus8, hah, hm. that's probably not great for writing back | 03:25 |
| bastid_raZor | sleepy_; onx mplayer does a great job.. it is even better for subs | 03:25 |
| carpediem | sam_delta: I'm looking at these instructions specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#Step%201:%20All%20BCM43xx%20-%20Install%20NDISWrapper%20and%20Blacklist%20Native%20Driver | 03:25 |
| unop | gluonman_, you're probably right then - if you don't have such a processor, you can skip the step (it's optional anyway) | 03:25 |
| gluonman_ | unop, thanks. | 03:26 |
| supercom32 | Anyone know why creating a user would not generate all the home directory files/folders? | 03:26 |
| hale3rd | hi | 03:26 |
| sleepy_ | bastid_raZor, thanks, I'll try it | 03:26 |
| jrib | supercom32: how did you create it? | 03:26 |
| hale3rd | can someone help with my sound issue? no sound in vlc/rhytmbox etc... | 03:26 |
| unop | supercom32, depends on how you created the user. | 03:26 |
| mEck0 | unop: okay, I get it. but the files which I move/copy from e.g. a ext3-partition to a ntfs-one, can I use them as usual on both Windows and gnu/linux then? | 03:26 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: yeah, it was complete accident... interesting fact though | 03:26 |
| v3ctor | sleepy_: i always use mplayer, it is very good | 03:26 |
| carpediem | sam_delta: and I'm thinking that maybe the same chipset as my laptop, which I *do* have working. Is this a laptop? | 03:26 |
| sleepy_ | mplayer doesn't even play the files for me | 03:26 |
| supercom32 | jrib: I used user and groups system panel | 03:26 |
| sleepy_ | I can't find onx | 03:26 |
| danbh_intrepid | hale3rd: do you have sound in gstreamer-properties? | 03:26 |
| hale3rd | umm | 03:27 |
| supercom32 | unop: i used the user and groups systems panel | 03:27 |
| Bogus8 | chubs: btw, looks like the new drive is working just fine | 03:27 |
| hale3rd | sometimes sound works in firefox | 03:27 |
| jrib | supercom32: what files were you expecting that were not created? | 03:27 |
| sam_delta | carpediem yeah hp laptop | 03:27 |
| Bogus8 | anyone know of a howto on setting up an "autorun" for a jump drive... so when I plug it in it will run a script? | 03:27 |
| chubs | Bogus8, well that's good | 03:27 |
| hale3rd | where are gstreamer properties? | 03:27 |
| caimlas | I'm using ubuntu on a thinkpad x30, which replaced debian. the thinkpad x30 has an integral CF reader - " CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II" according to lspci. It has worked before using yenta_socket and usb mass storage, but now when I insert my CF cards, no drives are displayed and dmesg only displays: "pccard: card ejected from slot 1<cr>pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1" - whereas previously it'd also display which device | 03:27 |
| caimlas | its been assigned to. I can still use USB flash drives just fine. what might be my issue? | 03:27 |
| supercom32 | jrib: sound, pictures, etc. All those kinds of things. | 03:27 |
| unop | mEck0, depends, if the files are your personal data - that's fine .. but system files, perhaps not. | 03:27 |
| onx | sleepy_, you'll need to enable the multiverse repo | 03:27 |
| jrib | supercom32: have you logged in with the user into GNOME? | 03:27 |
| caimlas | supercom32, the difference between using adduser and useradd, maybe. | 03:27 |
| sleepy_ | onx, how so? | 03:27 |
| caimlas | supercom32, how did you create the user? | 03:27 |
| mEck0 | unop: oh, yeah, I mean personal data, not sys-files. Thx for the answers!!! | 03:28 |
| carpediem | sam_delta: heh, any chance it's a DV9627CL? | 03:28 |
| supercom32 | jrib: I didn't log in as him yet. But I never needed to before to get anything created | 03:28 |
| jrib | supercom32: try | 03:28 |
| hale3rd | ok | 03:28 |
| sam_delta | carpediem, not sure, its my friends laptop, it has touchscreen | 03:28 |
| supercom32 | jrib: One sec ;P | 03:28 |
| hale3rd | i see | 03:28 |
| caimlas | supercom32, useradd only creates the system account entries; adduser creates all files as per system. | 03:28 |
| onx | sleepy, just go to settings - repositories in synaptics | 03:29 |
| unop | caimlas, he used the users-admin util | 03:29 |
| caimlas | unop, no idea then. :) | 03:29 |
| badfish | if i got an unlisted device working can i add it to the bot's list? | 03:29 |
| carpediem | sam_delta: eh, not quite the same. At any rate, this is the instructions that got my laptop running. http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ | 03:29 |
| darren | exit | 03:30 |

| Daft_Punk | lol its /quit or /exit | 03:30 |
| hale3rd | danbh: not working | 03:30 |
| v3ctor | Daft_Punk: did that work for launching the virtual? | 03:30 |
| Daft_Punk | v3ctor, yes thanks | 03:31 |
| sleepy_ | onx, thanks | 03:31 |
| sam_delta | carpediem, alright, ill take a look at the procedure, thanks for the info | 03:31 |
| sleepy_ | onx, testing now to see if I can get VLC to work | 03:31 |
| Daft_Punk | i use tint2 as my panel but the only issue is that it does not update the windows. for instance, i open firefox the panel will say mozilla firefox, but when i go to google it wont switch to google on the panel | 03:31 |
| supercom32 | jrib: that did it :P | 03:31 |
| supercom32 | jrib: On another note, is there a simple way to copy the settings of one user to another? Background colors, compiz settings, etc? | 03:32 |
| sleepy_ | onx, I get no sound in VLC either | 03:32 |
| Rafiinha | quero saber como instalo coisas no ubuntu | 03:33 |

| Rafiinha | ?? | 03:33 |
| supercom32 | Is there a simple way to copy the settings of one user to another? Background colors, compiz | 03:33 |
| jrib | installing 8.04 on a macbook. Ubuntu refuses to boot using refit. All I get is tux with a white background staring at me. I've already synced the partition tables using refit (originally I had "no bootable device" error). I've also manually installed grub on the ubuntu partition. How can I get more information? | 03:33 |
| danbh_intrepid | supercom32: rsync -aS | 03:33 |
| jrib | supercom32: sure, just copy all the .* files over | 03:34 |
| danbh_intrepid | supercom32: then probably change ownership, etc | 03:34 |
| jahnkeanater | can i run windows through a virtual box that is installed on a partition | 03:34 |
| v3ctor | sleepy_: you may not have the codec it requires or maybe the MKV is bad | 03:34 |
| jrib | jahnkeanater: I don't think so, but ask #vbox | 03:34 |
| Cpudan80 | jahnkeanater: yes - more difficult - but possible | 03:34 |
| tsuna27 | does any1 here have an ipod and use it w/ ubuntu | 03:34 |
| jahnkeanater | ok | 03:34 |
| sleepy_ | I made the MKV and it works on windows boxes, how do I get the codecs properly? | 03:34 |
| Cpudan80 | jahnkeanater: VMWare has this option, not 100% about vbox | 03:34 |
| caimlas | supercom32, copy the appropriate dotfiles from within the home directory to another. if you want to make them system-wide, there's also a dir you can put them in under /etc (can't recall what it is atm) | 03:34 |
| chubs | tsuna27, yeah | 03:34 |
| Zerocxis | tsuna, yes I have | 03:35 |
| caimlas | tsuna27, i have. | 03:35 |
| onx | sleepy_, check if you have the right output track selected in vlc, and have a look at the stream info, should tell you what format the audio is | 03:35 |
| tsuna27 | chubs: how? | 03:36 |
| tsuna27 | caimlas: what r u using | 03:36 |
| supercom32 | Grr. Is there a temporary way to give nautalis root access to folders? | 03:36 |
| chubs | tsuna27, I plug it in usually | 03:36 |
| dr3mro | can i install both prelink and preload or that is nonsense? | 03:36 |
| chubs | I use amarok to manage it | 03:36 |
| caimlas | tsuna27, i didn't say I was; just that I have. :P | 03:36 |
| chubs | but there are several programs | 03:36 |
| jrib | supercom32: gksudo nautilus | 03:36 |
| caimlas | i think I used gtkpod at the time; amarok is better supposedly | 03:36 |
| Zerocxis | tsuna27: I was just able to plug mine in and Rhythmbox picked it up right away | 03:36 |
| sleepy_ | It identifies the streams properly, and I am testing with both streams, neither seem to work, although they both should. How do I check the stream info? | 03:37 |
| tsuna27 | chubs: what can i use to add music and podcasts and such | 03:37 |
| supercom32 | jrib: Thanks! That works. | 03:37 |
| tsuna27 | zerocxis: if i plug it in i can just drag and drop my music? | 03:37 |
| chubs | caimlas, tsuna27 i find amarok to be better than itunes for managing my ipod, as long as it's music. I've heard newer ones have problems with video | 03:37 |
| sleepy_ | nm, I see how to check the info | 03:37 |
| chubs | tsuna27, yeah. in a program | 03:37 |
| Zerocxis | tsuna27: yes | 03:37 |
| caimlas | I've only got one of those ipod 2G w/ the screens | 03:38 |
| caimlas | I've used it maybe... 5 times? | 03:38 |
| caimlas | music isn't that important to me | 03:38 |
| sleepy_ | stream 1; codec: vorb; Language: English; Type: Audio; Channels: 2, sample rate: 44100 Hz | 03:38 |
| tsuna27 | i have rhythembox should i download amarox | 03:38 |
| Infinito- | music is very important to me :) | 03:38 |
| jrib | tsuna27: you should try both and use what you like | 03:39 |
| chubs | tsuna27, it's up to you. if you like rhythmbox use it | 03:39 |
| tsuna27 | chubs: i want 2 know wats better | 03:39 |
| chubs | !best | tuna | 03:39 |
| ubottu | tuna: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:39 |
| chubs | tsuna27, ^ | 03:39 |
| onx | sleepy_, that's weird then. i'd suggest you upload a sample so someone can have a look at it, i'm going to sleep now though | 03:40 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 04:13 |

| jvr | can anyone help me with a Brother MFC210C question, ive installed it as per the instructions, but I print a page and nothing happens, in Jobs it just says its printed, nothing comes out of the printer. Im running AMD64 version of Ubuntu 8.04 | 04:13 |
| MrPickle | hosstest, thats a very weird error right there. I would log in as root and check up on your users&groups settings | 04:13 |
| hosstest | MrPickle: Not sure how to do that or what to look for. | 04:14 |
| plik | d0wn: :%s/changethis/tothis/g <== sorry | 04:14 |
| tomvolek | JVR, did u get the drivers from Brother site ? | 04:14 |
| pawan | any good torrent client | 04:15 |
| jvr | tomvolek: yes ofcourse. | 04:15 |
| jvr | i did lpinfo -v | 04:15 |
| tomvolek | I used the drivers from brothers and it worked right off .. | 04:15 |
| pawan | other than azureus | 04:15 |
| jvr | yeah it worked for me in gentoo right off. | 04:15 |
| sleepy | Someone please help me, I'm so afraid that I'll have to reinstall everything | 04:15 |
| MrPickle | hosstest, if youre using the gnome desktop, login as root at the main window [you need admin log enabled] and go to system>users and groups, then look for things on your user account that look out of place or set incorrectly | 04:15 |
| jvr | im having serious problems here in ubuntu. | 04:15 |
| tomvolek | I am using ubuntu 8 amd64 | 04:15 |
| jvr | yes same. | 04:15 |
| jvr | Ive actually got a Brother MFC425CN | 04:15 |
| tomvolek | hmm, very strange ... | 04:15 |
| jvr | but I'm meant to use the MFC210C driver | 04:15 |
| MrPickle | hosstest, if you need to set admin login as on, go to system>login window and enable it | 04:16 |
| jvr | as in gentoo aswell. | 04:16 |
| zubwolf_ | hi, i'm using ubuntu hardy(2.6.24-19-generic), while trying to create an ubuntu package (no apt-source, just the real package source) 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 | 04:16 |
| zubwolf_ | any idea about what i can do to get this build done would be really apreciated | 04:16 |
| tomvolek | i am sure u have updated ur system to the latest bug fixes... etc. | 04:16 |
| jvr | tomvolek: yes i have. | 04:16 |
| jvr | all the files/directories exist aswell | 04:16 |
| hosstest | MrPickle: again, you assume I that I know what normal is supposed to look like. | 04:16 |
| jvr | tomvolek: http://pastebin.ca/1205561 | 04:17 |
| jvr | thats the only error i get | 04:17 |
| d0wn | plik: sorry to bug you, but how do i save in vim? i feel stupid now | 04:17 |
| jvr | could that be a problem ? | 04:17 |
| plik | :wq | 04:18 |
| jvr | it says unauthorized, but everything still works. | 04:18 |
| MrPickle | hosstest, this is linux, there is no standard for normal. basically when you are looking through the users&groups settings for your account, look to see what permissions you have and what you can change. play around and youll find something eventually that was causing the block | 04:18 |
| jvr | it let me delete and re-add a printer. etc | 04:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is there a way to install ubuntu from the terminal from the livecd¿ | 04:18 |
| hosstest | MrPickle: Okay, thanks. | 04:18 |
| smm289 | Real Player for Linux, does it work with ubuntu | 04:19 |
| MrPickle | :repost:having trouble getting a fat32 usb flash key to work- it shows up on lsusb and as a usb drive in the gnome file manager under computer:///, but I cant find it's location through terminal and I cant get it to mount in any way shape or form. | 04:19 |
| plik | d0wn: ':wq' to save... it's ok to feel stupid - it's the best way to learn, so we're less stupid next time ;) | 04:19 |
| MrPickle | smm289, dl- install it- let us know | 04:19 |
| smm289 | lol Yes Sir | 04:20 |
| turk | hey guys my roomate and I just messed up his passwd file and now he's locked out of his system..any suggestions? | 04:20 |
| zefyx | should the cpu fan be blowing the same direction & pointed as the exhaust fan at the rear of a case? | 04:20 |
| === Kabaka[A] is now known as Kabaka | ||
| jvr | omg this is so frustrating | 04:20 |
| jvr | bloody brother printers | 04:20 |
| smm289 | i would think you want all your fans flowing in the same direction, that way air travels in one end of the case and out the other, usually fresh air in the front, hot air out the back | 04:21 |
| jvr | was easier to get working in gentoo | 04:21 |
| MrPickle | smm289, if it doesn't work, then check some of the settings before you give up. Theres very few things that 'wont run' on a linux module | 04:21 |
| zefyx | yeah, it just struck me as odd, i bought a poweredge server & its the complete opposite | 04:21 |
| zefyx | heh | 04:21 |
| MrPickle | smm289, also include the name of who you are speaking to, there's a ton of people in here | 04:21 |
| smm289 | or maybe you could have front and back fans blowing in, and then a top blow-hole fan sucking out | 04:21 |
| zefyx | the fans will battle themselves | 04:21 |
| smm289 | ahh sorry | 04:22 |
| smm289 | i just talk to anyone that will listen ;) | 04:22 |
| d0wn | Thanks plik! I've successfully switched mirrors | 04:22 |
| plik | d0wn: well done, make notes if you need to :) | 04:22 |
| MrPickle | zefyx, the way I have my fans set up is for all fans to blow in. high pressure = low air movment = colder temp at cost of physical stability | 04:22 |
| MrPickle | zefyx, and by stability im talking about my case | 04:23 |
| arooni | for some reason i'm having a REALLY HARD time blanking a cd with ubuntu 8.04 on it... everytime i try with any app, it freezes my system or no progress elapses | 04:23 |
| MrPickle | arooni, are you booting from the disk?? be less vauge as to what is going on | 04:24 |
| arooni | MrPickle, no i'm booted from hard disk; whenever i burn i see messages like: Cannot open SCSI driver! | 04:24 |
| smm289 | MrPickle: I downloaded it and its a .bin, what am I supposed to do with that. I double click on it and it doesn't do much. Computer thinks about it for a little bit but then nothing happens | 04:24 |
| mysticdarkhack | Greetings all | 04:25 |
| Serway | hey guys, my totem crashes everyime i want to open a file, can someone help me? | 04:25 |
| TWP-SirStaal | Guys I seriously got a problem. My windows crashed some time ago and I have decided to throw windows out. But wen I go to check that partionated part of my disk it says it has "0kb" in memory, what shall I do? | 04:25 |
| MrPickle | smm289, thats a windows type of compression.... do they have a tar.gz or a .deb? | 04:25 |
| mysticdarkhack | Anyone here able to get dvd playback work on hardy with all the codecs install cause I can't seem to get it working here. | 04:25 |
| Realcoolguy | Serway: I completely had the same problem at some point :) see if you can use another program like vlc without it crashing | 04:25 |
| MrPickle | arooni, it may be an issue with the driver for that disk | 04:26 |
| smm289 | MrPickle: hmmm, let me check, the button said Linux download | 04:26 |
| Serway | Realcoolguy, thanks, you are a cool guy | 04:26 |
| arooni | MrPickle, i see: Blanking entire disk ... and then nothing happens (two different pcs/burners) same message (gnome-baker) | 04:26 |
| jvr | can anyone help me with this printer or what | 04:26 |
| jvr | ? | 04:26 |
| jvr | please | 04:26 |
| MrPickle | smm289, thats it? | 04:26 |
| MrPickle | arooni, what program are you using to burn? | 04:26 |
| arooni | MrPickle, gnome-baker | 04:27 |
| smm289 | MrPickle: ya it says RealPlayer 11 for linux | 04:27 |
| smm289 | then under that it has a .rpm download, Redhat package | 04:27 |
| MrPickle | arooni, o..right..i should have picked up on that. unfortunatley, I've never used gnome-baker. I would suggest finding an alternate app or updating the packages that control your writable driver | 04:28 |
| smokie | how do you search for a port a certain program is using? | 04:28 |
| chubs | smm289, alien if you must | 04:28 |
| arooni | MrPickle, suggestions | 04:28 |

| EatShrooms | does anybody know how I could get tor/privoxy to work on ubuntu? If not, does anybody have a recommendation for a proxy I could use? Free or not? | 04:28 |
| chubs | smm289, sudo apt-get install alien, then alien realplayerwhatever.rpm | 04:29 |
| chubs | but it doesn't always work | 04:29 |
| smokie | anyone? | 04:29 |
| mysticdarkhack | Anyway, I guess not many get dvd playback working | 04:29 |
| chubs | smm289, not a big deal if it doesn't, just fails, but it might be your only option if there is no source | 04:29 |
| EatShrooms | smokie: what program is it? | 04:29 |
| smokie | EatShrooms, webmin | 04:29 |
| smm289 | :chubs I'd rather not, thanks though, why won't the .bin work, it says it for Linux but it doesnt do anything when I double click on it | 04:29 |
| MrPickle | smm289, in that case you might want to debianize it...i forget the program you need for it, though I used it once... I think it was called 'Alien' or something.. but basically you need to find something that can alter the file *types* of archives, then change the extension to a tarball or debian package for installation | 04:30 |
| MrPickle | arooni, use synaptics and search for burning utilities | 04:30 |
| EatShrooms | smokie: I don't know | 04:30 |
| chubs | smm289, chmod +x realwhatever.bin (is it executable?) | 04:30 |
| smm289 | why would they day for Linux if it doesn't work, what kinda linux distro does a .bin work on | 04:30 |
| chubs | smm289, all of them | 04:30 |
| smokie | EatShrooms, do you know the command to see the open ports on ubuntu right now? | 04:31 |
| MrPickle | arooni had his panties in a knot, no? | 04:31 |
| MrPickle | i stand corrected | 04:31 |
| EatShrooms | smokie: no sir | 04:31 |
| smm289 | :chubs was that command supposed to do something, i typed it out in the console and it just dropped me down to the next line, didnt say anything | 04:32 |
| turk | if a passwd file is modified and root can no longer be accessed mean re-install? | 04:32 |
| smm289 | lol wow | 04:32 |
| smm289 | it changed the icon on my desktop | 04:32 |
| chubs | smm289, okay now ./realthing.bin | 04:32 |
| jrib | turk: no. Use recovery mode from the grub menu | 04:32 |
| EatShrooms | does anybody know how I could get tor/privoxy to work on ubuntu? If not, does anybody have a recommendation for a proxy I could use? Free or not? | 04:33 |
| smm289 | double clicking on it in the desktop just wont do it hu | 04:33 |
| chubs | smm289, or double click it i guess, but it might be a text only script | 04:33 |
| turk | jrib: i tried but i can't login to anything | 04:33 |
| chubs | it should at least give output | 04:33 |
| jrib | turk: you are automatically logged in as root... | 04:33 |
| turk | jrib: no login found for root | 04:33 |
| MrPickle | smm289, chubs, you also have to name the file extension after .rpm | 04:33 |
| lekremyelsew | hey does anyone know any VNC clients that can connect to different servers that the local one? | 04:34 |
| chubs | MrPickle, what are you talking about? | 04:34 |
| jrib | turk: use a live cd then and mount the partition. What exactly did you do to the file? | 04:34 |
| smm289 | hey its doing something | 04:34 |
| smm289 | Stand-By | 04:34 |
| chubs | smm289, congrats. do that next time you've got a .bin | 04:34 |
| bla__ | hello | 04:34 |
| MrPickle | chubs, when you run alien, you have to specify it to a .deb, otherwise it leaves it as a .rpm, which is the intermediary file ext. | 04:34 |
| smm289 | its saying Setup for UNIX, is that going to be a problemn | 04:34 |
| hosstest | okay, when I log on it says something about /home/--username--/.dmrc is being ignored. Does that ring a bell for anyone? | 04:34 |
| chubs | MrPickle, oh yeah, we're way past that though | 04:34 |
| alskdjfklsdf | i am having trouble erasing a live cd of hardy, from within hardy (booted up from hard drive and want to install intrepid so i need to burn a cd). every time i do it it just pauses and never goes anywhere :( | 04:34 |
| turk | jrib: ok i have the live cd i will try to do that...me and my roomate were playing with john | 04:35 |
| smm289 | why cant ubuntu just do all that stuff when I double click on the .bin file | 04:35 |
| chubs | smm289, I hope not, you are on ubuntu right ;)? | 04:35 |
| jrib | turk: heh | 04:35 |
| MrPickle | chubs, I was explaining why it wasnt usable yet | 04:35 |
| turk | jrib: and he got us good | 04:35 |
| smm289 | <---has been Windows-Washed | 04:35 |
| chubs | smm289, because it doesn't read your mind | 04:35 |
| smm289 | yep, on windows | 04:35 |
| smm289 | lol yep on ubuntu | 04:35 |
| smm289 | Windows used to read my mind all the time | 04:35 |
| MrPickle | chubs, but at this point it also doesnt matter, because now its done | 04:35 |
| chubs | MrPickle, the .bin is separate from the rpm. it's a universal binary and it wasn't usable because it wasn't executable | 04:35 |
| hosstest | how can I take owner for a folder? | 04:36 |

| legend2440 | eddwinpaz: ok well the three commands in bold on this page worked for me. i use the fglrx drivers with radeon 9600 card. use sudo in front of the commands http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124634 | 04:52 |
| Frogzoo | smm289: or you machine locks up and crashes to blue screen, one of the two | 04:52 |
| eddwinpaz | legend2440 How can i enable dual monitors ? i updated to this version because someone said that it was posible.. | 04:52 |
| dmsuperman | smm289: That's how linux works. sudo apt-get install thunderbird, for instance | 04:52 |

| dmsuperman | smm289: Good luck getting it that fast in windows | 04:52 |
| eddwinpaz | legend2440 ill try. | 04:52 |
| chubs | smm289, that works on ubuntu with .deb packages. It would've worked on that .bin if realplayer had sent it to you as an executable. They didn't because it's good practice not to, so you made it so yourself | 04:52 |
| turk | hey guys i lost root access to one of my machines so i booted the live cd and mounted the hard drive. I now have that passwd file opened..how can i add a root user to the passwd file? | 04:52 |
| dmsuperman | smm289: Windows, you have to first find thunderbird's site, then find the download link, then select a mirror, then download it, then run the installer, then run through the initial setup options, etc. | 04:52 |
| smm289 | I have yet to do that command, I have stayed with the Synaptic Package installer and the Add/Remove.. thing | 04:53 |
| turk | or even my old user would work | 04:53 |
| eli_ | if you lost our password to a box just append "single" to the end of the line in grub | 04:53 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpaz: back up your xorg.conf file first though | 04:53 |
| harriseldon | turk, I would mount the disk, chroot in and use the passwd command | 04:53 |
| eli_ | your* | 04:53 |
| chubs | smm289, if you know the package you want it's much faster to install via sudo apt-get | 04:53 |
| chubs | and you can install several packages at once | 04:53 |
| Frogzoo | turk: there already is a root user, but you shouldn't be using root, use sudo - just make sure a user is member of 'admin' | 04:54 |
| Frogzoo | turk: the real answer is undo what it was you broke | 04:54 |
| dr3mro | i found a fix | 04:54 |
| MrPickle | frogzoo, su is better | 04:54 |
| turk | frogzoo: i did something and all my users including root were lost in that passwd file | 04:54 |
| dr3mro | just remove entery from fstab | 04:54 |
| dr3mro | it wok | 04:54 |
| dr3mro | s | 04:54 |
| Frogzoo | MrPickle: lies | 04:54 |
| dmsuperman | Whenever I enable tv out my X session crashes. I've no idea what i'm looking for in Xorg.0.log, anybody mind pointing me in the right direction or helping me figure it out? | 04:55 |
| turk | frogzoo: if i use the passwd command using the live cd how can i get it to apply to the passwd file on the mounted drive? | 04:55 |
| smm289 | :chubs if I know what I want to install I can just type part if its name in the Synaptic Search, click the little box next to it, click apply, type in my password, and im done....Well maybe that is not faster, but right now I never remember the exact spelling or how to type out the command... maybe i'm just a NUB | 04:55 |
| eddwinpaz | legend2440: it gives me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/48207/ | 04:55 |

| Frogzoo | MrPickle: you know it | 04:55 |
| outbackwifi | hi there | 04:55 |
| mds58 | I have a usb com port I need to configure | 04:56 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpaz: back up your xorg.conf file first. use sudo in front of commands | 04:56 |
| turk | frogzoo: i know my user name that was in there...can i manually add it back? | 04:56 |
| eli_ | you can add a user with the same name and set it's home directory to the previous | 04:56 |
| MrPickle | Frogzoo, Ha! And I should waste my time on condescending just to mock you so? | 04:57 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpaz: so it would be sudo aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1 | 04:57 |
| smm289 | I wanna become root, then I wont have to keep typing my password when I do something wrong, I can just kill my system nice and quick, that password thing is a bother | 04:57 |

| mds58 | mrPickle: for a windows application running through wine | 04:57 |
| turk | frogzoo: ok..can you elaborate on how to do that? | 04:57 |
| eddwinpaz | legend2440 what does it mean restart X | 04:58 |
| pawan | how to install pixel view tv tuner card | 04:58 |
| Frogzoo | turk: why not "adduser NEW_USER" from the live cd, and copy the entries it makes to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to the files on the hard drive? | 04:59 |
| dmsuperman | eddwinpaz: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace will restart X, it basically shuts off your running applications in your current X session and restarts X | 04:59 |
| smm289 | well all, thanks for the help again | 04:59 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpaz: did you do all 3 commands? with sudo? if so ctrl+alt+backspace will restart x | 04:59 |

| mds58 | MrPickle: is this a lost cause? | 05:00 |

| 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) | 05:08 |

| Jacobbs | or is that /usr? | 05:08 |
| dmsuperman | harriseldon: Not yet, I will check around now | 05:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | i want to use a couple of the ubuntu sounds on my phone. Where are they located at? | 05:09 |
| harriseldon | Jacobbs yes that is correct. It is very similar to the documents and settings folder in Windows | 05:09 |
| pawan | where is pastebin | 05:09 |
| ushimitsudoki | gluonman: you can use "dpkg -L <packagename>" to examine the contents of the package. You can use "locate <string>" to search your system for that string. So "locate VirtualBox" will search for that name. When you installed it, the binary should be in /usr/bin/VirtualBox, and so should be in your path. If this is not the case then either the installation had a problem or your path is misconfigures | 05:09 |
| Mipsalawishus | has anyone had bad experience with vmware server on ubuntu? i'm thinking of trying it, but i prefer to have something that installs through the package manager just to keep things neat | 05:09 |

| arooni | how do i go from intrepid beta..... to the released intrepid? | 05:21 |
| === isabel__ is now known as CostaRicanGFs | ||
| J-n | arooni if i'm not mistaken intrepid is still in alpha no? | 05:21 |
| ushimitsudoki | arooni: #ubuntu+1 for upcoming versions of ubuntu. | 05:21 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: is your resolution correct for your monitor? | 05:21 |
| DasEi | Jacobbs: a drive can have max four primary partis, but within and extended, which may contain masses of partis | 05:21 |
| CostaRicanGFs | i was finally able to install ubuntu on my gfs old laptop however theres a problem theres like an inch black space within the screen around where the gui is | 05:22 |
| eddwinpa1 | i think so.. | 05:22 |
| CostaRicanGFs | like a wee screen inside the screen | 05:22 |
| carpediem | arooni: First, you freeze yourself into suspended animation for a few months.... | 05:22 |
| Jacobbs | well I'm assinging 4gb swap partition | 05:22 |
| CostaRicanGFs | i am on failsafe now because i went to screen resolution and messed it up | 05:22 |
| CostaRicanGFs | by lowering it | 05:22 |
| CostaRicanGFs | how do i fix this though | 05:22 |
| Jacobbs | should it be primary or logical? | 05:22 |
| DasEi | ThePookeyShow: terminal : man dd | 05:22 |
| Ninjara | harriseldon: So.. 'lsof |grep /dev/cdrom' or something? | 05:22 |
| Killeroid | JackWinter: 4gb swap is too much | 05:22 |
| eddwinpa1 | legend2440: it is... | 05:22 |
| Jacobbs | 2gb? | 05:23 |
| DasEi | !who > Jacobbs: | 05:23 |
| arooni | Carbonflux, i'm not sure how that works? | 05:23 |
| ThePookeyShow | k thanks... I know what to type in dd.... Is going from a 160 to an 80 gonna work? I thought they had to be the same size with dd. | 05:23 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: not sure how to change icon sixes | 05:23 |
| legend2440 | sizes | 05:23 |
| Jacobbs | Alright, well either way, my question still stands, does it make a difference, and is one prefered over the other? | 05:23 |
| Killeroid | Jacobbs: 2gb is ok, still a bit much bits its ok | 05:23 |
| harriseldon | Ninjara that would check if a process is accessing the raw cdrom device. If it is accessing a file that is mounted, you can use mount first to list mounted filesystems and replace /dev/cdrom with the mount point | 05:23 |
| eddwinpa1 | i did it before but dont remember | 05:23 |
| DasEi | ThePookeyShow: is the 160 filled up more then >< 75 GB ? | 05:24 |
| J-n | arooni yah, no beta yet to upgrade from yet, and certainly no release version yet... are you sure that's the question you meant to ask? | 05:24 |
| CostaRicanGFs | can anyone help me | 05:25 |
| DrDigi | i turned to the torrents, its downloading faster | 05:25 |

| fioletovy | what is the best ramen noodle flavor? | 05:25 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: right click icon choose stretch icon and resize it | 05:25 |
| J-n | fioletovy: ubuntu flavor. | 05:26 |
| Killeroid | Jacobbs: on your partition question(primary partitions are the main sort of partition that you make. There is a limit to how many of these you can make (which as you said is four). To get more partitions than this you need to make logical partitions. These are basically a partition within a partition (I think that they may sometimes be referred to as extended partitions). They tend not to get used much since computers nowadays can g | 05:26 |
| Killeroid | et around the 2GB hard drive limit (which meant you had to split larger drives into partitions) and few people need to have more than 4 partitions. | 05:26 |
| Killeroid | If you do need more it makes little difference since logical partitions should be handled seamlessly (you won;'t really notice i don;t think)) | 05:26 |
| Killeroid | oops | 05:26 |

| CostaRicanGFs | i just installed ubuntu on my girls laptop a toshiba satellite, problem is the screen doesnt show up right its like a smaller screen inside the screen, theres about an inch of black space surrounding the gui within the screen | 05:26 |
| goodluck | how can i configure touchpad? if i run tpconfig it says: Could not open PS/2 Port [/dev/psaux]... and my xorg.conf is ok | 05:26 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: whats the native resolution vs the resolution you're running? | 05:26 |
| eddwinpa1 | legend2440: i mean apply to all desktop | 05:27 |
| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, i apologize for my ignorance but i don't get what you mean,m is there a way i can look it up with a terminal?? | 05:27 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: are you working in terminal or in a gui? | 05:27 |
| Jacobbs | Alrighty, so Ubuntu is being installed now, yay! | 05:27 |
| CostaRicanGFs | gui | 05:27 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: resolution I think is under Administration | 05:28 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: did you get your q answered? I think if I remember this right you are limited to 4 partitions per disk by the MBR. One primary, 3 extended,. But you can have as many logicals as you want in an extended partition. extended is just a holder for logicals. | 05:28 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: I run ubuntu-server so I don't have a gui in front of me :/ | 05:28 |
| Jacobbs | I just made everything a primary | 05:28 |
| CostaRicanGFs | i'm on failsafe mode right now because i thought i could fix it by going to a lower resolution which only screwed the whole look altogether | 05:28 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: sounds like the resolution of the LCD (native resolution) is higher than what you're currently running | 05:28 |
| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, | 05:28 |
| Jacobbs | I only did partitions for / swap and /home | 05:28 |
| Jacobbs | Thanks for your answer though :) | 05:29 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: yeah, lower resolution will make the effect more dramatic | 05:29 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: well, anyway, that's how I do it myself, exactly like you did. | 05:29 |
| Jacobbs | I was wondering about /boot as well | 05:29 |
| Macrosoft | Jacobbs, you need a root partition too | 05:29 |
| CostaRicanGFs | it's strange cause i mean sure it's an old computer but the monitor is definetly decent | 05:29 |
| Jacobbs | I did | 05:29 |
| Jacobbs | it's / | 05:29 |
| Jacobbs | swap and /home | 05:30 |
| Macrosoft | Jacobbs, cool | 05:30 |
| Jacobbs | no? | 05:30 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: ugh, used to have that on Gentoo, and it was a PITA | 05:30 |
| === jason is now known as DBO | ||
| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, it looks like it's already on the highest resolution available | 05:30 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: what resolution is that? | 05:30 |
| CostaRicanGFs | 800 x 600 | 05:30 |
| Jacobbs | Does the Ubuntu install also include the GNU boot loader? | 05:30 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: real easy to fill up /boot, since everyone recommends it to be fairly small, then the pain begins. | 05:30 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: open nautilus then edit>preferences>views tab then icon view defaults | 05:30 |
| CostaRicanGFs | 60n hz refresh rate | 05:30 |
| Jacobbs | Ahh | 05:31 |
| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, | 05:31 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: unless that laptop is *ANCIENT*, 800x600 typically isn't a native resolution | 05:31 |
| CostaRicanGFs | i know | 05:31 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: so more than likely ubuntu isn't recognizing the video card, and is defaulting to 800x600 | 05:31 |
| Jacobbs | I'm dual booting with XP, so I wanted to keep my Ubuntu fairly small because i don't plan on using it for much other than some development | 05:31 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: open nautilus then edit>preferences>views tab then icon view defaults choose percentage | 05:31 |
| badfish | is there an app that plays .wma files in ubuntu? | 05:31 |
| CostaRicanGFs | i think thats why it looks small | 05:31 |
| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, how do i find out what video card it has | 05:31 |
| eddwinpa1 | legend2440: nautilus ? | 05:31 |
| pan__ | how do i make a zip file | 05:31 |
| badfish | make a tar.gz file | 05:32 |
| pan__ | a zip file | 05:32 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: well, you did the most important part by creating a separate /home. Comes in real handy down the road. | 05:32 |
| xan1th | CostaRicanGFs: google the laptop model and find the tech sheet for it, then google and see if ubuntu supports that vidcard | 05:32 |
| Jacobbs | Yea, Scunizi suggested that | 05:32 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: yes nautilus are you using gnome? its the file browser | 05:32 |
| Jacobbs | and I read a few guides online as well that suggested that | 05:32 |
| CostaRicanGFs | it's a toshiba satellite 1804's204 | 05:32 |
| eddwinpa1 | yes i got gnome | 05:33 |
| wers | where do I change the windows version in winecfg? | 05:33 |
| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, 1805-S204 | 05:33 |
| Jacobbs | I ended up making my Ubuntu about 30gigs in total heh | 05:33 |
| Jacobbs | 10 for root, 1 for swap and 19 for home | 05:33 |
| wers | oh just saw it :D | 05:33 |
| TWP-SirStaal | Okay I have a serious problem ... my harddrive says it only got 14.7 gig at most but I certainly have a 60 gig harddrive | 05:33 |
| badfish | is there an app that plays .wma files in ubuntu? | 05:33 |
| TWP-SirStaal | Someone know were the prblem is? | 05:33 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: yeah, I'd say that's a pretty safe setup | 05:33 |
| Jacobbs | Now the fun part | 05:34 |
| Jacobbs | I get to figure out how to get python and stuff on here hah | 05:34 |
| Jacobbs | I know I'm going to use XAMPP | 05:34 |
| legend2440 | eddwinpa1: click on Places then Home Folder that opens nautilus | 05:34 |
| DasEi | TWP-SirStaal: take a look in gparted | 05:34 |
| Jacobbs | Cause that's fairly out of the box. | 05:34 |
| eddwinpa1 | legen2440: thanks it did it.. | 05:34 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: well....minus the X | 05:34 |
| Jacobbs | yea, cause it'd be UAMPP ;P | 05:34 |
| mreyfout | anyone know if there is an open-source package for Quartus II | 05:34 |
| eli_ | why should I create a seperate partition for swap when I could just have a Looped image in my root | 05:34 |

| schmitty8225 | i want to install xbuntu on this old laptop i just got but it has no cd drive. how would i go about doing that | 05:35 |

| CostaRicanGFs | xan1th, trident cyberbladexp videochip | 05:35 |
| Jacobbs | Oh, I'm taking a few courses in python | 05:35 |
| Jacobbs | Not for web deveopment | 05:35 |
| Jacobbs | If I wanted python on the web, there's a nice package floating around, I think it's called Django | 05:35 |
| Jacobbs | Anyway, that's probably for another channel hah | 05:36 |
| carpediem | Jacobbs: then that should be easy. sudo apt-get install python2.5 and you are done | 05:36 |

| l337ingDisorder | Quick question guys - how do you use Ubuntu? (har har) actually here's my question: in Nautilus, is there any way to filter the file list? On my Windows box I use a file manager called Directory Opus, which features an address bar like in nautilus, but if the directory I'm in is, say, /home/ and I only want to show JPG files, I'd be able to just append *.jpg to the address bar and hit enter,... | 05:37 |
| l337ingDisorder | ...then the right pane of the file manager displays all the JPG files in the given directory (ie, /home/*.jpg) | 05:37 |
| Jacobbs | Yay grub works! | 05:38 |
| carpediem | pan_: zip myzip.zip * | 05:38 |
| pan__ | k thx | 05:38 |
| l337ingDisorder | does Nautilus have a similar function? | 05:39 |
| eli_ | This has been suggested on ubuntu brainstorm | 05:39 |
| eli_ | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3700/ | 05:39 |
| carpediem | pan__: I'm sorry, I left out -r if you want it to recurse directories. | 05:39 |
| chubs | l337ingDisorder, there is probably an extension or a file manager that does what you want. But I do not know one | 05:39 |
| pan__ | its ok | 05:40 |
| legend2440 | l337ingDisorder: try edit>select pattern | 05:40 |
| pan__ | the * just adds everything in that folder | 05:40 |
| carpediem | pan__: that's right | 05:40 |
| goodluck | can somebody help me with touchpad? | 05:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | legend: hehe thanks that's exactly what I ended up finding from eli_'s url | 05:40 |
| Jacobbs | I'll touch your pad. | 05:40 |
| eli_ | That only selects the lements | 05:40 |
| Jacobbs | If that's what you want help with | 05:40 |
| eli_ | it does not filter them | 05:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | though my preference is just to shorten it to "CTRL+S" | 05:40 |
| goodluck | Jacobbs :) | 05:41 |
| l337ingDisorder | it does filter them - it highlights everything that gets caught in the filter | 05:41 |
| carpediem | goodluck: I wish I could help you, but I've never *ever* had a problem with a touchpad, so I don't know where to begin. | 05:41 |

| xan1th | Jacobbs: correct | 05:43 |
| carpediem | goodluck: what laptop? | 05:43 |
| Jacobbs | that's sudo "dash i" right? | 05:44 |
| pan__ | if it wont let me iwlist ath0 scan i see no networks? | 05:44 |
| xan1th | Jacobbs: dash L | 05:44 |
| daklan | eli_: the intention of sudo does not permit indefinite cache | 05:44 |
| Jacobbs | Thanks | 05:44 |
| daklan | eli_: actually, it does. you can disable password | 05:44 |
| pan__ | iwconfig ath0 mode Managed? | 05:44 |
| goodluck | carpediem, Acer Aspire 4720 | 05:44 |
| xan1th | eli_: you can modify the timeout time for sudo, and disable password | 05:44 |
| xan1th | eli_: you can also sudo -v to refresh the timeout timer | 05:44 |
| carpediem | eli_ just use "sudo su" when you need to be permanent root. Though, I'll go on record saying its a bad idea. | 05:44 |
| daklan | eli_: but no point in sudo usage if you can just run as root indefinitely | 05:44 |
| daklan | you might as well log in as root | 05:45 |
| Jacobbs | I can install 121 updates O.o | 05:45 |
| eli_ | I find it funny cause alot of people complain the gksu is too much like vista | 05:45 |

| === travisbickle is now known as Guest91927 | ||
| isabel__ | then i tried to log in to it and it said there was an installation error or something | 05:46 |
| daklan | eli_: sudo caches a particular session, based on a timer. each session you open requires another sudo transaction | 05:46 |
| isabel__ | and it won't let me purge xubuntu desktop | 05:46 |
| coagent | Hey I am trying to setup up hostap to serve a wireless network but hostap fails to enable WPA2 even through I am sure the card supports it | 05:46 |

| xan1th | isabel__: sudo (commands) | 05:48 |
| carpediem | goodluck: hmm, your Synaptics Touchpad did show up | 05:48 |
| xan1th | isabel__: so for instance, sudo dpkg -i pkg.deb | 05:48 |
| xan1th | Jacobbs: it'll run that command with superuser privs, whatever that command is, when executed with sudo | 05:48 |
| daklan | Jacobbs: you have to enter your password (unless you configure it not to ask for one) | 05:48 |

| chubs | eli_, tyso1 for a class it's java class [name] | 05:52 |
| Bogus8 | I popped a new 500gig SATA drive in my system and it shows up in dmesg that a WD500<blah blah blah> is there but it doesn't assign it a device block (sdf or whatever)... why would that be? I have 3 other SATA drives in this box working fine | 05:52 |
| tyso1 | im trying to install frostwire but it says java is not installed | 05:52 |
| goodluck | carpediem, yes i have. i looked up the manual and found where i can unlock it phisically, problably someone locked it up today (it was working fine until today) | 05:52 |
| goodluck | the problem is solved | 05:52 |
| goodluck | thanks a lot again :) | 05:53 |

| carpediem | goodluck: ah, cool. anytime | 05:53 |
| tomvolek | anybody runs Ubuntu on 1600x900 resolution ? | 05:53 |
| daklan | Bogus8: grep for "sd" in /var/log/messages, maybe you missed it | 05:53 |
| zubwolf | is there another ubuntu channel on this network, where 'more experienced' users are? | 05:53 |
| tyso1 | hey chubs what do you mean its a class? | 05:53 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, ok i was able to log on into xfce | 05:54 |
| Jacobbs | If I "unmount" a volume in Ubuntu | 05:54 |
| isabel__ | how do i get rid of gnome now? | 05:54 |
| carpediem | zubwolf: um....I'm going to pretend you didn't say that | 05:54 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: well, if I do a ls /dev/sd* only the known devices come up | 05:54 |
| Jacobbs | What exactly does it do? | 05:54 |
| eli_ | have you done "sudo apt-get install java-common" | 05:54 |
| isabel__ | sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-desktop_ | 05:54 |
| tomvolek | anybody runs Ubuntu on 1600x900 resolution ? | 05:54 |

| error404notfound | when I try to update using terminal, it says 11 packages are kept back, but it updates using gui, why? how should I do it with terminal? | 05:54 |
| tyso1 | from the command line? | 05:54 |
| pan__ | i have not been able to run ubuntu on that resolution | 05:54 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: could it be my mobo bios? or does linux pretty much override that? | 05:55 |
| daklan | Bogus8: any chance you can reboot? might be a controller issue, or jumper settings | 05:55 |
| zubwolf | carpediem, since yesterday night i'm here trying to get a question answered, so, yes, is said that! | 05:55 |
| carpediem | error404notfound: don't install held back packages. Great way to bork a system. | 05:55 |
| tomvolek | pan__ have u tried it .. its the new Sony Viao supports it | 05:55 |
| carpediem | zubwolf: I haven't seen your Q | 05:55 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: actually I did reboot... this is a headless system so hard to see what's going on during POST or boot | 05:55 |
| legend2440 | zubwolf do you mean create deb file using checkinstall? | 05:55 |
| zcat[1] | !grub | 05:55 |
| 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 | 05:55 |
| zubwolf | carpediem, i'm using ubuntu hardy(2.6.24-19-generic), while trying to create an ubuntu package (no apt-source, just the real package source) 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 | 05:56 |
| xan1th | isabel__: sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop would remove it | 05:56 |
| error404notfound | carpediem: but these nclude imp packages such as dnsutil, ssl-blacklist and etc, plus why gui installs them then? | 05:56 |
| daklan | Bogus8: then you won't be able to detect if it's a controller issue | 05:56 |
| pan__ | i have not tried | 05:56 |
| zubwolf | legend2440, no, building with pbuilder in a pbuilder chail | 05:56 |
| tyso1 | thanks eli its working | 05:56 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: I can hook up a monitor and keyboard if need be... just a hassle so I was seeing if there wasn't some commands I could throw at it first | 05:56 |
| eli_ | i liked it when I used the NTDLR to boot grub | 05:56 |
| carpediem | zubwolf: allright, well, you are right, you are a bit over this channel. I believe there is a dev channel, but I think its invite only. Not sure who controls the invites. | 05:57 |
| daklan | Bogus8: grep the part where the drive gets detected in dmesg. scroll up and down, pastebin if needed | 05:57 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, oki'm going to read the link you gave me n ow | 05:58 |
| eli_ | With the less / more commands is there anyway to keep the ansi escape sequances? | 05:58 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: I grep'd with -A 5 and -B 5 and didn't see much significant... is that enough lines? | 05:58 |
| zubwolf | carpediem, i see, thx for trying to help anyways! | 05:58 |
| daklan | Bogus8: try with 10 lines both ways | 05:58 |
| carpediem | zubwolf: but it's eating at me, what is pbuilder? and what is chail, a chroot jail? | 05:59 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: I'm grepping the model of the drive... should I try something else? (WD500) | 05:59 |
| tyso1 | Starting FrostWire... | 05:59 |

| tyso1 | can anyone help with this problem? its telling me to update to 1.5 or higher and i downloaded it but i cant seem to get it to run | 05:59 |

| daklan | Bogus8: grep for ata maybe | 06:00 |
| _Zeus_ | error404notfound: what is a LVM? | 06:00 |
| carpediem | tyso1: have you install Sun-Java using synaptic? | 06:00 |
| tyso1 | no | 06:00 |
| error404notfound | _Zeus_: never used? Logical Volume Manager, lovely thing | 06:00 |
| _Zeus_ | !info Sun-java | carpediem | 06:00 |
| tyso1 | i gues i should try that | 06:00 |
| ubottu | carpediem: Package sun-java does not exist in hardy | 06:00 |
| _Zeus_ | error404notfound: haven't used it. | 06:01 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: I have 3 other drives in there and a raid 5 built with them, and a regular ATA... this could be ugly ;) | 06:01 |
| zubwolf | carpediem, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 06:01 |

| eli_ | sub-java6-bin | 06:01 |
| eli_ | sun* | 06:01 |
| daklan | Bogus8: i can understand :) hmm, is the drive hooked up to the same controller controlling the raid? | 06:02 |
| zubwolf | legend2440, tcl, as an dependency, should be installed by pbuilder, dh_make should create that dependency in the ./debian/rules file, i guess | 06:02 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: well, it's a software raid.. so I have 2 to the mobo and 1 to an external card and this one hooked up to that card | 06:02 |
| _Zeus_ | error404notfound: is it some sort of partition manager? | 06:02 |
| error404notfound | _Zeus_: well for your ease, yes... http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm for details | 06:03 |
| eli_ | LVM for me is a love hate relationship | 06:03 |
| carpediem | zubwolf: nice. I've been wondering for a while how that is done. | 06:03 |
| legendsohai | can anyone tell me how to make my hidden files looks different from other normal file?? | 06:03 |
| legendsohai | example like the semi-transparent in windows | 06:04 |
| chubs | put a . in front of them, oh | 06:04 |
| === bUnUh||mBok||mU is now known as kupret | ||
| carpediem | nice | 06:04 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, not to be a pain in the sass but can you tell me what my laptops propper resolution is | 06:04 |
| daklan | Bogus8: controller driver is loaded? | 06:04 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: yeah, one of the drives on the raid is on that card | 06:04 |
| carpediem | legendsohai: being hidden isn't different enough? I mean, if they are hidden, how can they "look" different? | 06:04 |
| eli_ | for a single user or for all users? | 06:04 |
| xan1th | isabel__: have you tried googling? what is the model? | 06:05 |
| daklan | Bogus8: does the kernel recognize your drive as an ATA device | 06:05 |
| error404notfound | legendsohai: put ._ or something before there name, this way they will be different from all other system hidden files and you can easy sort you files asiode | 06:05 |
| legendsohai | carpediem: i mean the icon | 06:05 |
| djfobbz | exit | 06:05 |
| carpediem | legendsohai: so are you saying you've told Nautilus to show hidden files? | 06:05 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: I get this: ata1.00: ATA-8: WDC WD5000AAJS-22YFA0, 12.01C02, max UDMA/133 | 06:06 |
| legendsohai | carpediem: yes | 06:06 |
| eli_ | you could put an emblem on them | 06:06 |
| daklan | Bogus8: well, it looks like it's been recognized correctly | 06:06 |
| ^Phantom^ | i found them myself :D | 06:06 |
| legendsohai | carpediem: just because of i have so many folder in my documents... so how can i diffrentiate which is the hidden one | 06:07 |
| chubs | legendsohai, if you hit control h in nautilus they go completely transparent | 06:07 |
| carpediem | legendsohai: hmm, I'm not sure you can. I just usually use CTRL-H and toggle on when I need them, then back off | 06:07 |
| eli_ | show all hidden folders --> CRTL-S --> ".8" --> right click --> emblems | 06:07 |
| eli_ | I mean ".*" | 06:08 |
| tyso1 | eli, carpediem thanks it worked | 06:08 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: if you care to take a gander... it's the only Western Digital 500gig drive (WD500) http://www.pastebin.ca/1205608 | 06:08 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, by point 6 of the steps on that page the problem's already solved, can you tell me if i have to do steps 7-end? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763964.html | 06:09 |
| daklan | Bogus8: i see "sda" is listed as a 500GB drive | 06:10 |
| Bogus8 | really?! | 06:10 |
| Bogus8 | hmm | 06:10 |
| daklan | Bogus8: # | 06:11 |
| daklan | [ 18.085954] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 976773168 512-byte hardware sectors (500108 MB) | 06:11 |
| xan1th | isabel__: are you running on the live cd? | 06:11 |
| legendsohai | or is it any other ways to make my folder to become semi-transparent when i press ctrl + h ? | 06:11 |
| isabel__ | how do i get rid of gnome/ubuntu to leave xubuntu? i typed sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop and it says (nope i'ts already installed= | 06:11 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: you are right... why the hell didn't I have an SDA before?! | 06:11 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, package ubuntu-desktop is not installed so not removed | 06:11 |
| isabel__ | what is the name of it then? | 06:11 |
| daklan | Bogus8: :) | 06:12 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: if it wasn't for stupid mistakes, I swear I'd be a linux genious ;) | 06:12 |
| daklan | Bogus8: i really thought it was weird when you said it got detected, but you couldn't see the drive | 06:12 |
| xan1th | isabel__: you're asking a few different questions, you've got me lost | 06:12 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: agreed, that's why I was in here asking :) | 06:12 |
| daklan | Bogus8: well, im happy you got it to work | 06:12 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: me too... thank you! | 06:13 |
| daklan | Bogus8 you're welcome! | 06:13 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: you don't know why it would have skipped sda before eh? | 06:13 |
| ogzy | hi all. at gnome-power-manager i dont see menus at the notification are for "Only display icon when charging and discharging" and some more, but just two options thats says show icon and never show icon. What is missing? | 06:13 |
| isabel__ | i mean, first question was if i did what he says on the guide and by step 6 it's already working as i notice that from that step on it assunmes i'm still on the livecd eventhough i already installed should i follow those steps ? | 06:13 |
| daklan | Bogus8: what skipped sda? | 06:13 |
| chetnick | how can i remove program completely? (wine) | 06:13 |
| isabel__ | and secondly what is the name of ubuntu/gnome to get rid of it? i used ubuntu-desktop and that didnt work | 06:13 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, | 06:13 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: when the system dolled out devices initially | 06:14 |
| xan1th | isabel__: if you're not on the live cd, and its working, I'd say you're good to go | 06:14 |
| eli_ | The only way I know that might work is by modifying the .gtk-somthing config file | 06:14 |
| chetnick | apt-ge install remove seems to leave some stuff. | 06:14 |
| daklan | Bogus8: your raid devices are configured as /dev/sg* | 06:14 |
| chubs | chetnick, that's what purge is for | 06:14 |
| daklan | Bogus8: the 500GB drive probably raced the raid array to /dev/sda | 06:15 |
| daklan | and the 500GB won :) | 06:15 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: interesting | 06:15 |
| isabel__ | xan1th, and what'sz the name of ubuntu/gnome to remove it? | 06:16 |
| chetnick | chubs: that's what i fought, but i don't have that command (command not found) should i install it? | 06:16 |
| daklan | Bogus8: if you noticed, everything else, including the drive that was on the same controller as sda, got a block device after the 500GB | 06:16 |
| xan1th | isabel__: as far as I know, ubuntu-desktop | 06:16 |
| daklan | Bogus8: the raid devices were initialized before ata devices | 06:16 |
| chubs | chetnick, apt-get remove --purge | 06:16 |
| chetnick | aaaa :) | 06:16 |
| chetnick | chubs: thank you | 06:16 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: hmm... so my raid devices got bumped yet were still built? | 06:16 |
| mrBob | Hi can i get any help here with iphone and amarok? | 06:17 |
| daklan | Bogus8: they were just given different ata block device names. the software raid configured them based on controller location | 06:17 |
| danbh_intrepid | isabel__: what are you trying to do? | 06:17 |
| carpediem | zubwolf: ran across this. not sure if any is more suited but I'm sure the dev channel is more likely to get your Q answered than here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 06:17 |
| usser | mrBob, 3g? | 06:17 |
| mrBob | usser: yep | 06:17 |
| isabel__ | danbh_intrepid, trying to get rid of gnome to leave xfce which is what i'm on right now | 06:17 |
| usser | mrBob, forget it, it wont work\ | 06:17 |
| isabel__ | when i do sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop it says package not installed so not removed | 06:18 |
| mrBob | usser: what makes you say that | 06:18 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: even though when I built the raid I gave it block device names? | 06:18 |
| danbh_intrepid | !purexfce | isabel__ this link might help, but its advice is fairly broken | 06:18 |
| ubottu | isabel__ this link might help, but its advice is fairly broken: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 06:18 |
| mrBob | usser: i can get the song into my phone via ssh but songs wont showup | 06:18 |
| isabel__ | danbh_intrepid, thankyou | 06:18 |
| daklan | Bogus8: didn't md assign sg* block device names to it? | 06:18 |
| danbh_intrepid | isabel__: the remove instructions contains TONS of random spaces, which prevents things from working | 06:18 |
| usser | mrBob, cause i looked into that at some point. | 06:18 |
| usser | mrBob, did u jailbreak it? | 06:19 |
| mrBob | usser: yep | 06:19 |
| Mc_Abyss | anyone know how to install a huwei e220 3g modem on 8.04? | 06:19 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: maybe... so when I tell md to use sda/b/c it then renames them to sga/b/c and works with them from then on? | 06:19 |
| carpediem | mrBob: haven't done it, but I read you have to power it off or some such to get the songs to show up | 06:20 |
| daklan | Bogus8: internally, they are addressed similar to this : hd(0,0,0) | 06:20 |
| mrBob | carpediem: i already tried that, doesnt work... | 06:20 |
| usser | mrBob, try gnomad | 06:20 |
| daklan | Bogus8: channel, device, partition | 06:20 |
| mrBob | usser: whats that | 06:21 |
| daklan | Bogus8: so, block names are irrelevant. | 06:21 |
| carpediem | gnomad...that's for libnjb devices isn't it? | 06:21 |
| ogzy | what can be the reason of not seeing the "On Batter Power" menu at the preferences of gnome-power-manager applet at hardy? | 06:21 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: right... so I am the only one using the block device references when making the raid... internally the raid software is using the real ID's for it's job? | 06:21 |
| WillShears | hi marie | 06:21 |
| daklan | Bogus8: correct | 06:21 |

| mrBob | apple and linux with never get along... | 06:21 |
| usser | mrBob, a program to sync mp3 players and such | 06:21 |
| Bogus8 | daklan: ok, that makes more sense... if I had realzied that then I would have looked at the block device names differently than I did... one more lesson learned | 06:22 |
| carpediem | gnomad is for Nomad Jukebox protocol devices, mostly creative players. | 06:22 |
| [[thufir]] | I changed .bashrc and want the changes to take effect without logging off. how, pls? | 06:22 |
| mrBob | usser: its just that.. songs are already in the phone, they just doesnt show up.. what may b causing this | 06:22 |
| usser | mrBob, they have to be in iphone's database simply copying them is not enough | 06:23 |
| mrBob | i can connect to the phone via ssh | 06:23 |

| isabel__ | capplets or something | 06:44 |
| daklan | snadge: /dev/null is normally 666 | 06:44 |

| bobertdos | isaac_: Well, no, it's not broken. It's Pulseaudio that causes all the problems right now. I actually use the RC for flash 10. Once you tweak it, it's a heck of a lot more stable than 9. | 07:01 |

| cumulus007 | snuxoll, or glade-gnome-3? | 07:22 |
| watchthehit | #Hack | 07:22 |
| hml | how do I download real media files? like i have clive and youtube-dl for flash files; but how do i download *.rm files? | 07:22 |
| chubs | hml, wget file.rm, open firefox and right click save etc. | 07:22 |
| carpediem | hml: sudo apt-get install realplayer | 07:23 |
| === Guest6915 is now known as yaom1 | ||
| chubs | watchthehit, it's /join | 07:23 |
| hml | so i open up the *.rm ; how do I download something like: rtsp://169.229.131.16:554//bibs/f2005/group1/synthbio/20051025.rm?start=40:15&end=1:45:00 | 07:24 |
| bobertdos | cumulus007: glade-gnome-3, OR actually, if there's a meta package just called glade, that should install what you need too. | 07:24 |
| carpediem | hml: did you install realplayer? that's a stream, you can't just download it. | 07:24 |
| snuxoll | bobertdos: glade == glade 2 | 07:24 |
| cumulus007 | bobertdos, I installed the gnome version already | 07:24 |
| cumulus007 | now starting it... | 07:24 |
| cumulus007 | aah, thank you | 07:25 |
| cumulus007 | this is exactly where I am looking for :D | 07:25 |
| snuxoll | hml: if you have a realmedia stream like that you'll want Helix Player, which is the open source realplayer (supported by real networks) | 07:25 |
| bobertdos | snuxoll: Yeah, I knew that in the back of my mind. Although, since he's not actually programming, I don't think it'll matter. | 07:25 |
| clarenc1 | Uh......excuse me.. | 07:25 |
| Brainyiscool3 | Perhaps it's just me, or has the spam stopped? | 07:25 |
| snuxoll | clarenc1: we can't answer your question without you asking it | 07:25 |
| carpediem | hml: you sure, last time I checked, Helix didn't play RM...but maybe it's come a ways since I did | 07:25 |
| J-n | hml mplayer does that quite well, but you've gotta do it command line from what i recall but it was pretty easy, and was explained in the manual. | 07:26 |

| Lanlost | combatwombat_nz, Were you thinking with xnest as blue-frog specified? | 08:40 |
| isabel__ | i know theres a package that allowsd yyou to download a deb and just click on it | 08:40 |
| isabel__ | and let it install itself | 08:40 |
| combatwombat_nz | lanlost: http://combatwombat.7doves.com/2008/04/26/full-screen-gaming-in-twinview | 08:40 |

| blue-frog | Lanlost: after installing xnest you can edit your menus (right click on applications/ edit menu) and activate new login in a window in system tools, then you can access it by going to applications/system tools/new login | 08:41 |
| Lanlost | blue-frog, also.. xnest is for NESTING an xwindow | 08:41 |

| Flannel | michael_: You'd have to upgrade from 4.10 to 5.04, to 5.10, to 6.06, to 8.04 | 08:48 |
| michael_ | huh | 08:48 |
| caco1989 | restricted drivers plus + compiz fusion | 08:48 |

| yao_ziyuan1 | !fsck | 08:57 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:57 |

| Joshooa | Hey I'm trying to make a new linux that's 2 main goals are 1. being as minimal as possible and flexible to only install JUST what the user needs, and 2. When you want to play a game it devotes all resources to it, much like a gaming console (xbox, ps2/3) but for PC games. IE, no GUI or X Session till it needs to load the game. I am decent with Linux, TOTALLY NEW to development and such, if you are interested in helping or just discussi | 09:03 |
| B3z3rk3r | why does flyiong in WoW take Sooooooo... long ? | 09:04 |
| Daft_Punk | B3z3rk3r, because they want you to play SL instead | 09:05 |
| sfer3 | !offtopic > Joshooa | 09:05 |

| B3z3rk3r | lol | 09:05 |
| niche | is there a terminal command to delete a folder but copy the files before it's gone | 09:05 |
| Daft_Punk | niche, ya do 'sudo cp folder/* to/destination' THEN 'sudo rm -r folder' | 09:06 |
| niche | Thx | 09:06 |
| Lanlost | tes | 09:06 |
| Joshooa | sfer3: Well, i do appreciate more rooms to go to, but my topic is still valid here, as I am also looking for input from end users, just to hear what would be wanted from a person interested in using their PC as a game console like I am thinking | 09:06 |
| Savira | Do all KDE and Gnome apps work on eachother | 09:07 |
| HappyHater | yes | 09:07 |
| Daft_Punk | Joshooa, my input: get a ps3, its more epic than a fail lulz linux which BTW can't play wicked games because they are built for windows... | 09:07 |
| reikon_ | Savira: KDE apps will work if you have Qt installed. | 09:07 |
| sfer3 | Joshooa, I'm not sure. That's more to do with general linux, and pretty much nothing to do with Ubuntu support, which this IRC channel is for. | 09:07 |
| reikon_ | Savira: GNOME apps will work if you have GTK+ installed. | 09:08 |
| reikon_ | Savira: There are other various dependencies though... like gnome-vfs, etc. | 09:08 |
| Joshooa | sfer3: I want it based off ubuntu, possibly being an addon to ubuntu, kinda like edubuntu, would that count? | 09:08 |
| dr3mro | Flannel, are you there? | 09:08 |
| Daft_Punk | !offtopic | Joshooa | 09:08 |
| ubottu | Joshooa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:08 |
| dr3mro | Flannel, did you see the image?? | 09:08 |
| mhmrcs | hello.. all... | 09:08 |
| Joshooa | sfer3: Really not trying to be annoying just not sure where to go to get advice/input/help getting this idea off the ground | 09:08 |
| Daft_Punk | Joshooa, try forums | 09:08 |
| sfer3 | Joshooa: It is still nothing to do with Ubuntu support, and Edubuntu doesn't do that kind of thing. | 09:09 |
| Flannel | dr3mro: yes. Try turning off your ntfs mounting at boot, see if that helps the boottime any, | 09:09 |
| mhmrcs | This may not be the right place to ask this, | 09:09 |
| pan__ | anyone know where to get an html script where they can't copy and paste stuff from my website? | 09:09 |
| sfer3 | Or, try the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. | 09:09 |
| sfer3 | !ask | mhmrcs | 09:09 |
| ubottu | mhmrcs: 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. :-) | 09:09 |
| Flannel | Joshooa: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, yes. Not this channel. | 09:09 |
| Daft_Punk | Flannel, I have 6 NTFS drives that are "bookmarked" not auto mounted, maybe that will work for dr3mro ? (just bookmarks) | 09:09 |
| reikon_ | pan__: lol. No. | 09:09 |
| dr3mro | Flannel, I install ubuntu by wubi i need to do so i can boot ubuntu from the root.disk image file on host ntfs partition | 09:09 |
| Flannel | Daft_Punk: I have no idea what bootmarked means. | 09:10 |
| mhmrcs | What's the terminal code for install UCK? | 09:10 |
| Joshooa | Daft_Punk: I don't get what you meant earlier mentioning the PS3, the point of my system is to play PC games on a PC, not something else, and if Wine can play Windows games, I can find a way, even if it's that way, but a devoted Wine machine is still more resources for your games | 09:10 |
| reikon_ | pan__: that's JavaScript, and it can be easily ybpassed... by disabling JavaScript. | 09:10 |
| Daft_Punk | Flannel, as in, I click the bookmark THEN it mounts the drive automatically and takes me to the folder... | 09:10 |
| Flannel | dr3mro: Ah. This is wubi. No, I don't think you'll be able to speed up your boottime much. | 09:10 |
| Joshooa | Well sorry Flannel and sfer3 if I bothered you that much, but also thank you for pointing me in (hopefully) better directions since that's what I came here for! :) | 09:10 |
| reikon_ | pan__: you're not going to publish a web site that doesn't allow people to copy and paste. It's just not going to happen. (Even with CSS overlays I can still 'View Source' and copy/paste) | 09:11 |
| dr3mro | Flannel, ok i willlive with that .. but how to add undo and redo to nautilus .. undo delete ! | 09:11 |
| mhmrcs | anyone...? | 09:11 |
| Daft_Punk | pan__, lol, umm the browser NEEDS to look at src of code, to be able to present it to the user... YOU CAN NOT prevent at all, the copying of information if you publish a site, if its that vital DO NOT PUBLISH IT. There will always be a way to work around it | 09:12 |
| Ziroday | mhmrcs: currently the UCK website is down and UCK is not in the normal repos. | 09:12 |
| mhmrcs | If it weren't, what code do I need to type to install it? | 09:13 |
| Ziroday | mhmrcs: refer to the documentation that came with the package | 09:13 |
| Daft_Punk | pan__, if you are looking for a way to prevent idiots from copying information on all browsers (universal HTML code) use <body oncontextmenu="return false;"> | 09:13 |
| mhmrcs | Cause I have no idea how to install anything in Linux if its not in Add/Remove or SYnaptic | 09:13 |
| Daft_Punk | mhmrcs, .deb packages will isntall for you, and tarballs, you have to untar it and read the INSTALL script, it is usually ./configure THEN make THEN makeinstall | 09:13 |
| Fireball_afk | hey fireball, please don't take my nickname, ok? | 09:14 |

| chazco | Hi... whats the best way to save DVD video to a Ubuntu computer? Good quality, filesize isnt really an issue. | 09:18 |
| austin | how do you activate compiz | 09:18 |
| Daft_Punk | chazco, are you talking about piracy or converting a DVD to an .iso or converting a DVD to a playable video file? | 09:19 |
| cumulus007 | austin, system>preferences>visual effects | 09:19 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, the help file say its there in edit menu but nothing is there? | 09:19 |

| alfo888_ibg | !span | 09:20 |
| cumulus007 | austin, I have a Dutch version of Ubuntu, so I dn't know the English name | 09:20 |
| cumulus007 | I think it should be system>preferences>appearance | 09:20 |

| alfo888_ibg | !span | alfo888_ibg | 09:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about span | 09:21 |
| Daft_Punk | chazco, your best bet is to convert the DVD to an .iso file using a program such as iso master then using a program like gmount iso to mount the iso | 09:21 |
| austin | i just want to know how to activate it i have it config | 09:21 |
| Daft_Punk | chazco, that way it is an exact image of the DVD and you can mount it on a virtual drive and play it in VLC | 09:21 |
| jim_p | what do i have to set instead of "vesa" in xorg.conf to get vbox's driver to work? | 09:21 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, I suggest to report a bug | 09:21 |
| chazco | Daft_Punk - Yep, considering that approach | 09:21 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, in nautilus, Help>Report a Bug | 09:21 |
| dr3mro | ok | 09:21 |
| Daft_Punk | chazco, to convert to .avi or .mkv (scene standard) it is more difficult because you have to find the right combination of codecs and drivers to do it for you, the .iso is the easiest and best way (that way you have all the DVD menu's and extra content as well) | 09:22 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, will reinstall nautilus fix this | 09:22 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, i don't think so | 09:22 |
| cumulus007 | i have them neither | 09:23 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, i saw videos and images of nautilus 2.2 that contains this undo redo .. but i dont have it | 09:23 |
| Daft_Punk | your WELCOME chazco :( | 09:24 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, maybe you could check if Intrepid Alpha 6 has this functions | 09:24 |

| dr3mro | cumulus007, but i think even with the final release it wont be stable as 8.04 ubuntu | 09:27 |
| jim_p | nwver mind i found it | 09:27 |
| ianRG | ....how would I compare these two folders to make sure they're the same? | 09:27 |
| jim_p | its vbox video if anyone needs it | 09:27 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, this is weird | 09:27 |
| Daft_Punk | or is it wired | 09:27 |
| abhijeet | hey does any one know a free open source alternative to AnyDVD | 09:27 |
| Daft_Punk | VLC | 09:28 |
| cumulus007 | Totem | 09:28 |
| cumulus007 | but Toem sucks for DVD's | 09:28 |
| Daft_Punk | VLC > Totem | 09:28 |
| abhijeet | Those are players | 09:28 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, why wierd ? | 09:28 |
| Daft_Punk | yeah AnyDVD is a player too | 09:28 |
| zcat[1] | abhijeet: for 'backups' I use k9copy.. | 09:28 |
| abhijeet | AnyDVD is DVD protection remover for personal use | 09:28 |
| Daft_Punk | you mean for piracy? | 09:28 |
| R-800 | I'm following online walkthroughs whenever I can, because I believe in trying to figure things out for myself. However, I've noticed that sometimes, these explanations assume a certain amount of knowledge, making them hard to follow sometimes. So naturally, I have some questions. | 09:28 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, that's stupid, a file manager which doesn't has uno and redo options | 09:29 |
| Daft_Punk | R-800, that is understandable, continue young grasshopper | 09:29 |
| abhijeet | Uh....NO...I wouldn't be using linux ubuntu if i was a piracy person | 09:29 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, ok look at this http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3440/ja9qm.jpg | 09:29 |
| zcat[1] | Daft_Punk: for "I have kids' .. they're grown up a bit now but three and four years olds do not look after DVDs and they're bloody expensive. And so are the DVDs! | 09:29 |
| Daft_Punk | abhijeet, false. that is not necessarily true | 09:29 |
| Minty95 | hello | 09:30 |
| B3z3rk3r | remeber kids.... sharing is caring :D | 09:30 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, this is from some site not my machine | 09:30 |
| Minty95 | Go to Settings>Autostarted Applications: where do I find this ??? | 09:30 |

| cumulus007 | dr3mro, that screenshot is form Ephipany | 09:30 |
| cumulus007 | *from | 09:30 |
| zcat[1] | so when they were small we ripped all the DVDs and kept them on a shared drive so sticky jammy fingers never had to touch the disk itself | 09:30 |
| R-800 | Well, I'm using Hardy on a laptop with ATI graphics, and the whole driver issue is getting me a bit frustrated. I don't know how to get the open source version to run (xorg?) but I didn't want to install the restricted version because I tried that earlier, and had display issues in some programs. | 09:30 |
| Ziroday | Minty95: go to System > Preferences > Auto Started applications | 09:30 |
| Ziroday | R-800: what graphics card? and what have you tried? | 09:31 |
| Daft_Punk | R-800, honestly, ATI graphics are not easily configured especially for new users (trust me, i've tried) Nvidia is the easiest because it is already supported | 09:31 |
| R-800 | ATI Radeon Xpress 200M. | 09:31 |
| abhijeet | Thanks...just to let you know it's to back copy's for DVD's of my family because I've a young sister and she isn't that afraid to come in my room and ruin things | 09:31 |
| zcat[1] | DVD repair kits can't fix a disk when it's been left on the floor and stepped on... | 09:31 |
| cumulus007 | does anyone know how to get my glade file into a window border and run it like a progra, | 09:31 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, what is epiphany ? | 09:31 |
| cumulus007 | m | 09:31 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, the standard browser of GNOME | 09:32 |
| Ziroday | R-800: and you have tried both the fglrx driver and the ati one? | 09:32 |
| R-800 | And I tried installing the restricted driver, but 3D hardware games have flickery shimmery displays. | 09:32 |
| Minty95 | Ziroday, don't have that in prefs | 09:32 |
| cumulus007 | dr3mro, in Ubuntu, Ephipany is replaced by Firefox | 09:32 |
| Ziroday | Minty95: look unders sessions | 09:32 |
| Daft_Punk | zcat[1], if it's not cracked it can be repaired because the scratched part is only a layer of plastic that is warping the line of data on the foil beneath it, but it can be repaired with a filler | 09:32 |
| R-800 | See, that's just it. I believe I tried the fglrx, but I thought that WAS the ATI one. Perhaps I was mistaken? | 09:32 |
| Ziroday | R-800: please address and gimme a sec | 09:32 |
| Minty95 | Ziroday, many thanks found it | 09:32 |
| jim_p | R-800: fglrx IS the ati one | 09:33 |
| dr3mro | cumulus007, ok!:) nice to know that ! | 09:33 |
| cumulus007 | :) | 09:33 |
| zcat[1] | Daft_Punk: depends, if something sharp has scrathed the label side the disk is totally fscked. | 09:33 |
| Ziroday | jim_p: fglrx is the proprietry ati driver, ati is the opensource one | 09:33 |
| cumulus007 | but i think it's stupid, a file manager without undo/redo | 09:33 |
| Daft_Punk | zcat[1], that would be difficult. the DVD has the thin label part on top, with a piece of plastic, then a foil layer that is magnetic and holds the data, then another plastic piece for the bottom... so something has to go through one of the plastic parts | 09:33 |
| Ziroday | cumulus007: well add that support or file a a wishlist bug | 09:34 |
| dr3mro | any one here managed to run adium with ubuntu ??? | 09:34 |

| Daft_Punk | Dazed, use terminal and type 'sudo cp folder/* to/destination' | 09:44 |

| DrDigi | and i burned it as an iso disk | 09:47 |
| DrDigi | using burn iso option | 09:47 |
| Daft_Punk | DrDigi, just because you burned it as an .iso doesnt mean it is bootable | 09:47 |

| matthewyax | no what? | 09:47 |
| matthewyax | now* | 09:47 |

| Daft_Punk | Lamba, but that is a good point, DVD-rom is not able to burn... | 09:49 |
| matthewyax | k, now how do i permit dir acess | 09:49 |
| DrDigi | no, i said the system has 2 drives, ones a cdrw, t he other is a dvdrom | 09:50 |
| Lamba | dvd rom is read only. you mean dvd-rw ? | 09:50 |
| DrDigi | i burned it on this system which is a much newer computer | 09:50 |
| DrDigi | omfg | 09:50 |
| Daft_Punk | DrDigi, make sure you burnt it 4x speed, and that it is a bootable .iso image | 09:50 |
| DrDigi | no, i burned it with a dual layer dvdwr, and i stuck the disk into a dvdrom on an entire different system | 09:50 |

| DrDigi | and i burned it at 1x, ive burned an OS once or twice before, i know its best to burn at slowest possible speed | 09:52 |
| Lamba | could try unplugging cd-rw to make sure its not an issue, or put a bootable cd into that to see if its actually trying the cd to boot | 09:52 |
| combatwombat_nz | matthewyax: hangon, if it is you then you shouldn't have needed to adduser | 09:53 |

| Daft_Punk | DrDigi, what is the OS on the system you are trying to boot to DVD and what OS is on the DVD | 09:53 |
| DrDigi | thats why i dontloaded the dvd | 09:53 |
| DrDigi | doesnt have an OS | 09:53 |
| Daft_Punk | what is the OS on the dvd | 09:53 |
| Lamba | just any bootable cd i mean, just to check youre actually trying the drive you think you are. | 09:53 |

| DrDigi | it took me trial and error finding how to get into the bios | 09:55 |
| Ava1L | could be , thinking about that , but the thing is it notices its there.. | 09:55 |
| Daft_Punk | DrDigi, it is one of the F keys, usually F10 or F12 (sometimes F8) | 09:56 |
| Ava1L | meh , ill try fuccking around with the network for a while again | 09:56 |
| Daft_Punk | !wtf | Ava1L | 09:56 |
| ubottu | Ava1L: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 09:56 |
| Daft_Punk | :) | 09:56 |
| kise | Hi | 09:56 |
| Ava1L | Ah sorry | 09:56 |
| lawnninja | Is there a limit on the partition size of ext3? I have a raid 5 partition that's 1.94tb and it says partition cannot have a length of -1 sectors when using gparted | 09:56 |
| lawnninja | ? | 09:56 |
| Daft_Punk | !hi | kise | 09:56 |
| ubottu | kise: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 09:56 |
| Lamba | also seen bios keys be the del key, and f1 | 09:56 |
| Daft_Punk | Lamba, on what, a commodore? lol | 09:57 |
| Lamba | my pc. | 09:57 |
| Daft_Punk | Lamba, what brand | 09:57 |
| Lamba | asus iirc. | 09:57 |
| Daft_Punk | booo | 09:57 |
| psor | hi all - how teach my mom dont off my pc through plug-out - how teach simply command "sudo shutdown now" !!!!!!! :) | 09:57 |
| Daft_Punk | lol | 09:57 |
| digitalfiz | hellllllp :P | 09:57 |
| Lamba | the del key, not both del and f1 :) | 09:57 |
| kise | lawnninja, no its should not be a limit that soon, i have a 3tb ext3 partition | 09:57 |
| combatwombat_nz | matthewyax: make a new user: sudo smbpassed -a "Matthew Yax" | 09:58 |
| zcat[1] | have machines where BIOS access is F1, F2, F10 or Del .. | 09:58 |
| lawnninja | kise: why do you think it has a problem creating it? | 09:58 |
| Daft_Punk | psor, tell her if she unplugs the PC to power it down it will corrupt data and also risk shorting out the PSU if it is unplugged so that the ground comes out first, also tell her to use the GUI to shut down or the command line... | 09:58 |
| matthewyax | ok so it needs to be in quotes | 09:58 |
| digitalfiz | im installing a "Syntek USB2.0 webcam" and it shows up in the dmesg but camorama doesnt find it what do i need to do | 09:58 |
| === kaning is now known as constrictor | ||
| combatwombat_nz | yes | 09:58 |
| lawnninja | kise: when I choose something smaller like 1tb it creates that one | 09:58 |
| Ava1L | Yeah basically it recognizes eth0 , hence the network card... just weird why i cant ping anything | 09:58 |
| Lamba | psor, put a broken psu into your machine, blame it on her. - i did that as a kid, and it worked, so im only half joking | 09:59 |
| Daft_Punk | zcat[1], Lamba I said it was one of the F keys, usually... blah blah blah... I didn't mention del tho... because it isn't as likely, but DrDigi just consult the user manual for the motherboard | 09:59 |
| Daft_Punk | Lamba, that is evil | 09:59 |
| kise | lawnninja, , i realy dont know have you tried to use Fdisk, the limit of ext3 should be 8Tb | 10:00 |
| Vladimir[LV] | What modules I need to enable in apache2 for best configuration? | 10:00 |
| Daft_Punk | Ava1L, can you ping 127.0.0.1? if so, chances are it is a networking issue, if not, the computer is not seeing your card (could be hardware or driver issue) | 10:00 |
| Ava1L | Ok thanks. | 10:01 |
| combatwombat_nz | Vladimir[LV]: that depends on what you want to do with your apache config | 10:01 |
| Ava1L | Ill be back (no pun) | 10:01 |
| Ava1L | hehe | 10:01 |
| Daft_Punk | *insert arnold schwarzeneggar voice here* ??? | 10:01 |
| combatwombat_nz | Vladimir[LV]: for a standard php/mysql setup: nothing, leav it alone it is good | 10:01 |
| Ava1L | lol yeah | 10:01 |
| kise | anyone here that knows if i want to move a mdadm radi, do i need to put the disk in the config file in the correct order? | 10:01 |
| lawnninja | kise: I'll try that now | 10:01 |
| _LiNuX_ | is any program that i cant change workspace lice cube | 10:03 |
| _LiNuX_ | like?* | 10:03 |
| lawnninja | kise: I think gparted is just weird about it, fdisk was able to create the partition | 10:03 |
| kise | Nice =) | 10:04 |
| Daft_Punk | _LiNuX_, could you rephrase that in proper english? | 10:04 |
| lawnninja | kise: do I need to format it to ext3? | 10:04 |
| kise | yes | 10:04 |
| lawnninja | gparted is trying to do that now | 10:04 |
| kise | mkfs.ext3 | 10:04 |
| lawnninja | I wonder how long that will take? | 10:04 |
| kise | 5min + | 10:05 |
| kise | it should go fast.. | 10:05 |
| lawnninja | kise: I had to fight with it to get dmraid working in my initrd | 10:05 |
| lawnninja | so now I can see my raid partitions | 10:05 |
| _LiNuX_ | Is any program that show the change The workspaces like a cube animation | 10:05 |
| SzalonyMjut | hi all | 10:05 |
| digitalfiz | anyone care to help with my usb cature device problem? | 10:05 |
| Daft_Punk | _LiNuX_, i still have no idea what you are asking... | 10:06 |
| lawnninja | So far so good though, I'm going to install an ext3 driver in winxp on my other partition so I can move files over into it. | 10:06 |
| Daft_Punk | _LiNuX_, are you asking about compiz fusion which changes your workspaces into a 3d cube? assuming you have 4 workspaces? | 10:06 |
| _LiNuX_ | Daft_Punk yes | 10:07 |
| SzalonyMjut | I'm going to try programs in symfony framework - I have installed LAMP, but i don't now what do now. Create virtual host on my desktop computer? | 10:07 |
| _LiNuX_ | i think so is taht one | 10:07 |
| DrDigi | i reset the bios, now its not booting past the hp splash screen, i think this computers toast | 10:07 |
| _LiNuX_ | i saw that in a video on youtube | 10:07 |
| Daft_Punk | _LiNuX_, that is your answer then, it is compiz fusion but you must have restricted drivers enabled for your graphics | 10:07 |
| kise | lawnninja, i am a bit new to this myself, I am trying to learn how to use mdadm right now =), so i have not been able to look at dmraid yet | 10:07 |
| rezasalami | #ubuntu+1 | 10:08 |
| _LiNuX_ | i have g force 4 mx 440 | 10:08 |
| rezasalami | hi | 10:08 |
| combatwombat_nz | kise: does this help: http://combatwombat.7doves.com/2008/03/25/howto-recover-data-from-raid-disk-array | 10:08 |
| lawnninja | kise: my friend told me about dmadm but it was too late, I was already trying to get dmraid working and determined to do so. | 10:08 |
| Daft_Punk | !hi | rezasalami | 10:08 |
| ubottu | rezasalami: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 10:08 |
| rezasalami | i coud not inestall ie 6 cn help me? | 10:09 |
| lawnninja | kise: I had to edit a hooks file for initramfs to include the dm-raid45 modile when it builds the initrd image and puts it into /boot | 10:09 |
| dr3mro | how to fix low volume every time i boot i have to set it manually | 10:09 |
| Daft_Punk | rezasalami, try ies4linux | 10:09 |
| lawnninja | basically allows the kernel to see the raid partitions instead of the drives themselves before the kernel loads | 10:09 |
| _LiNuX_ | i assume that propable not suitable for that | 10:09 |
| lawnninja | then I ran into a problem with fstab and had to remove the uuid string from each entry | 10:09 |
| lawnninja | after that it worked great | 10:10 |
| kise | lawnninja, ah, i wanted to do it easy, so i used mdadm thats alredy in ubuntu =) | 10:10 |
| Daft_Punk | _LiNuX_, i am not sure of the specifications of that card, you can try enabling restricted graphics drivers (if any) and search a forum for how to install compiz fusion if you need help with that | 10:10 |
| lawnninja | well I'm not sure how to configure mdadm so I went with dmraid and spent about 6 hours figuring it out myself. Learned a lot from it. | 10:10 |
| combatwombat_nz | _LiNuX_: that card cannot run compoiz | 10:10 |
| rezasalami | i inestall ies4linux but i not think this error | 10:11 |
| Daft_Punk | When it smells like cheese behind your ears, I think it's time for a shower? | 10:11 |
| lawnninja | Just got done installing nvidia proprietary drivers for my 9800 gtx+ and now compiz fusion is up and running | 10:11 |
| Daft_Punk | rezasalami, I do not understand what you are talking about, All I understand is that you want IE6.0 on linux, you can try using ies4linux (view instructions on their site) you have to have wine installed and make sure you have support for .cab files before installing ies4linux | 10:12 |
| rezasalami | IEs4Linux 2 is developed to be used with recent Wine versions (0.9.x). It seems that you are using an old version. It's recommended that you update your wine to the latest version (Go to: winehq.com). | 10:12 |
| rezasalami | You are root! This is very discouraged! IE is too insecure for you to give him root access. | 10:12 |
| rezasalami | Want a tip from a friend? Run ies4linux as your normal user or, what's better, if you can, create a separate user just do handle your IEs. | 10:12 |
| Daft_Punk | dont flood please | 10:12 |
| kise | combatwombat_nz, this tells me how to do it, but i would like to know how to know what disk is /dev/sda when i chang my motherboard | 10:12 |
| Daft_Punk | rezasalami, why don't you try updating your wine like the error says? | 10:13 |
| kise | or if it even mathers what order i put it back in | 10:13 |
| Daft_Punk | rezasalami, also you should not be a root user... :s | 10:13 |
| combatwombat_nz | Kise: it doesn't matter if they are mirrored correctly | 10:13 |
| combatwombat_nz | kise: if they aren't it won't boot anyhow, so you switch connectors | 10:14 |
| kise | combatwombat_nz, but it is a raid 5 | 10:14 |
| kise | so it is my storage place | 10:14 |
| combatwombat_nz | kise: no issue, you have only one mbr | 10:15 |
| rezasalami | ok if i dont use root this masseg | 10:15 |
| rezasalami | mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/reza/.ies4linux/tmp': Permission denied | 10:15 |
| rezasalami | /home/reza/Desktop/ies4linux-2.99.0.1/lib/functions.sh: line 418: [: =: unary operator expected | 10:15 |
| rezasalami | !! Needs /home/reza/.ies4linux/tmp for temporary files | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:15 |
| kise | combatwombat_nz, but how does the mdadm know what order it needs to put the disks in the raid? | 10:15 |
| rezasalami | i updat wine | 10:15 |
| awals_030903 | hi | 10:15 |
| Daft_Punk | rezasalami, install an updated version of wine, THEN make sure you have cab support by following instructions on ies4linux website. THEN make sure you are normal user before installing, NOT root | 10:16 |
| Daft_Punk | !paste | rezasalami | 10:16 |
| ubottu | rezasalami: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 10:16 |
| awals_030903 | hi....... | 10:16 |
| Daft_Punk | !hi | awals_030903 | 10:16 |
| ubottu | awals_030903: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 10:16 |
| DrDigi | okay just to humor myself | 10:16 |
| DrDigi | i installed a virtual machine | 10:16 |
| awals_030903 | 363333333333 | 10:17 |
| DrDigi | and it boots ubuntu disk up in a blink of an eye | 10:17 |
| DrDigi | so i know my dvd is good | 10:17 |
| combatwombat_nz | kise: in my experience it just works. smart enough somehow. but if you are careful, mark the cables with vivid marker : i ii iii and assemble in same order | 10:17 |
| rezasalami | thanks i try | 10:18 |
| Daft_Punk | DrDigi, so, it is probably a hardware issue on that other computer, refer to the users manual for the motherboard how to get into bios or boot menu options to try and boot the DVD. Also you could have an issue with the DVD drive on that computer (for it not being able to read the DVD) | 10:18 |
| DrDigi | as i said, the manual is all incorrect or the computer is so screwed up that the correct keys do not work | 10:19 |
| DrDigi | www.adultmg.com/ubuntu.png | 10:19 |
| DrDigi | screen shot of it booting inside this OS | 10:19 |
| genekuek | !cloning | 10:19 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 10:19 |
| kise | combatwombat_nz, , i have done that, but i do not think the new motherboard counts the disks in the same order, so that the disk now called /dev/sda could just as well be called /dev/sdh on my new mother board, and even if so, do i need to put them back in to the config file in the same order? | 10:19 |
| genekuek | oops | 10:19 |
| orly_owl | Anyone know how to print an image onto a CD with a Canon PIXMA IP 3000 and ubuntu hardy? | 10:19 |
| Daft_Punk | DrDigi, on the bios splash screen, press the key 1-3 times with 1 second apart between each key stroke, if you stroke too fast you can overload the keyboard and it will not respond to the command | 10:19 |
| genekuek | how do i copy my home folder? | 10:19 |
| orly_owl | GIMP stuffed it up | 10:20 |
| Daft_Punk | genekuek, | 10:20 |
| Daft_Punk | genekuek, 'sudo cp folder/* to/destination' | 10:20 |
| genekuek | daft_punk, yes? | 10:20 |
| Daft_Punk | sorry i hit enter too early | 10:20 |
| ogzy | is there any ubuntu netbook remix users here? | 10:20 |
| Ava1L | Daft_Punk: ping was sucessful | 10:20 |
| genekuek | daft_punk there was a bot thing someone sent me with a link, so i can just manually copy it all to a new partition | 10:21 |
| Daft_Punk | Ava1L, it could be an issue with the network configuration | 10:21 |
| genekuek | daft_punk, so just copy it and then install ubuntu with that partition mounted as home? | 10:21 |
| Ava1L | ok, so you suggest i play around with that , trial and error type thing ? | 10:21 |
| Daft_Punk | genekuek, honestly I am not sure, if you want to copy a folder to another location open terminal and type "sudo cp folder/* destination/of/new/folder" | 10:22 |
| athleone | Hello, I am new to Ubuntu | 10:22 |
| athleone | What should I do first? | 10:22 |
| D1sa5t3r | start computer | 10:22 |
| pabloz | he he | 10:22 |
| Ava1L | lol. | 10:22 |
| Ava1L | =) | 10:22 |
| Daft_Punk | Ava1L, yeah pretty much, I am not an expert on networking with ubuntu, I just showed you how to check that the hardware is functioning | 10:22 |
| Harry2o | Hi - I have 8.10 intrepid alpha5 installed, no problems so far. As of this morning I get "failed to fetch" on apt-get update because of "Hash Sum mismatch". Is there anything like this known? | 10:23 |
| doktor_ | hi | 10:23 |
| Ava1L | Daft_Punk: No problems, thanks for that anyway. At least now i know its kinda working | 10:23 |
| pabloz | hi | 10:23 |
| Flannel | Harry2o: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks. | 10:23 |
| athleone | uhh. | 10:23 |
| athleone | Okay, what should I learn first and from where? | 10:23 |
| Harry2o | @Flannel ty | 10:23 |
| pabloz | athleone: good choice | 10:23 |
| Ava1L | athleone: : what do you want to know ? | 10:23 |
| genekuek | how can i copy my home folder onto a sep partition? | 10:23 |

| thesoffi1h | i have a large file transfer going to an external drive that will take an hour, and i want the computer to automatically shutdown when its done. can i do this with cron? | 10:26 |
| athleone | Linux seems more laggy than XP... | 10:26 |
| athleone | why? | 10:27 |
| pabloz | wow, How many people are there | 10:27 |
| Flannel | thesoffi1h: You don't need cron, you can just schedule a shutdown. But, you cant be sure it'll take an hour. | 10:27 |
| thesoffi1h | how do a schedule things? | 10:27 |
| thesoffi1h | how do i* | 10:27 |
| athleone | Why does Ubuntu seem more laggy than XP? | 10:28 |
| combatwombat_nz | athleone: it can be if it is not in a default state. Otherwise it is usually much better. | 10:28 |
| athleone | really? | 10:28 |
| === kaning is now known as constrictor | ||
| Flannel | thesoffi1h: shutdown takes a time argument, so... like, `shutdown -h +90` waits 90 minutes before shutting down | 10:28 |
| combatwombat_nz | athleone: really, but it also tends to show up bad hardware | 10:28 |
| athleone | It's taking forever to start up Firefox! :( | 10:29 |
| digitalfiz | hmm | 10:29 |
| combatwombat_nz | what are the system specs | 10:29 |
| Flannel | athleone: Firefox always take a while the first time you run it | 10:29 |
| Flannel | athleone: It does it on windows too | 10:29 |
| digitalfiz | why wouldnt i have /dev/video*? | 10:29 |
| R-800 | Hi, guys. I'm trying to swap out one version of my xorg.conf for another, but can't, due to a supposed lack of permissions. I even tried using the terminal, but can't seem to find the right syntax. | 10:29 |
| thesoffi1h | ah. thank you. so can one only schedule things with arguments for individual commands that take time arguments, or is there a general tool to schedule many things from one place? | 10:29 |
| Vladimir[LV] | combatwombat_nz: tahnk you | 10:30 |
| athleone | This is not the first time. | 10:30 |
| genekuek | how do i copy my home folder completly onto a partition | 10:30 |
| genekuek | !home | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 10:30 |
| genekuek | hahaa found it | 10:30 |
| athleone | It would make a window, saying Starting Up Firefox... Then it closes. | 10:30 |
| jimmygoon | Any insight as to why totem just loves to shit on my processor? | 10:30 |
| athleone | Wtf? | 10:30 |
| Flannel | thesoffi1h: Thats a feature of shutdown, but yes, you can use cron (or at) to schedule other stuff. | 10:30 |
| digitalfiz | man this is so retarded | 10:30 |
| jimmygoon | it's still using 20-30% of my processor. | 10:31 |
| Flannel | R-800: You'd use sudo to perform whatever command (copy, or text editor, or whatever) | 10:31 |
| thesoffi1h | Flannel: thanks for your help. | 10:31 |
| R-800 | Flannel, thanks, but I tried that. I can ope gedit that way, but changes I make won't save. | 10:31 |
| Flannel | R-800: How are you opening gedit? | 10:32 |
| R-800 | sudo gedit /ext/X11/xorg.conf | 10:32 |

| pmaddog320 | morning all | 10:32 |
| athleone | When I start up Firefox, it would make a window saying "Starting Firefox Web Browser" then after a while it closes. How come? | 10:32 |
| pabloz | athleone | 10:33 |
| athleone | yes? | 10:33 |
| pabloz | type: killall firefox | 10:33 |
| pabloz | and try again | 10:33 |
| Flannel | R-800: Its /etc/ not ext, and also, you should use gksu for graphical programs, but thats not the cause of this issue. | 10:33 |
| R-800 | Oops. Thanks. | 10:34 |
| athleone | "No proccesses killed" | 10:34 |
| athleone | ??? | 10:34 |
| pmaddog320 | can anyone tell me how to speed up my firefox it has begun to run slower . | 10:34 |
| pabloz | type: ps ax | grep firefox | 10:34 |
| pabloz | you have proces number (on the left) | 10:35 |
| pabloz | ??? | 10:35 |
| pabloz | type: kill -9 <number> | 10:36 |
| R-800 | Flannel, thanks. That did it. What were you saying about gksu? | 10:36 |
| pmaddog320 | hi im a sort of newbie i got a problemb with my firefox running a bit slower than usual | 10:36 |
| Flannel | R-800: for graphical programs, you should use gksu instead of sudo. | 10:36 |
| pabloz | for example: kill -9 187111 | 10:36 |
| athleone | uhhh | 10:36 |
| R-800 | Flannel, not sure I understand why, but okay! | 10:36 |
| hillpig | i know the redirect command can be wrote such as:$ ls > filelist.txt,are there any commands used to set the global redirect,so i don't need add each command >. thks | 10:36 |

| athleone | did you mean ps -ax|grep firefox? | 10:37 |
| pabloz | ps ax | grep firefox | 10:37 |
| hillpig | help | 10:37 |

| R-800 | I need a good solution for archiving my system to a bootable CD. I've investigated bootcd and mondo, but can't quite figure out how they are supposed to be used. Maybe I'm just dumb. All I want is to make a system restore disk that has a clean install on it with a few tweaked settings. Something that I can revert to if there are problems later. | 10:41 |
| pmaddog320 | right guys its the weekend and im looking for my local lug . any ideas | 10:41 |
| Atax | combatwombat_nz: So your basically saying the VNC-Protokoll is standart for linux to linux desktop controlling, correct? Or is there another common protokoll for this? | 10:42 |

However I am having struggle connecting to myself from other computers (outside the network). I have left most of ircd.conf as default, and I can't see what would need changing. Anybody have any ideas why this may be happening | 11:21 |
| combatwombat_nz | yup | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: are you trying to connect to your wan ip from the wide world | 11:21 |
| ForgeAus | does ubuntu have an enterprise version?... | 11:22 |
| Bilz | ActionParsnip: my ISP ip... not my network IP | 11:22 |
| athleone | damnit, its still downloading file 1 of 10 for the package info! | 11:23 |
| athleone | wtf. | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: yeah the ip on the wan side of your router | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: and why the hell are you logged in as root? | 11:23 |
| Flannel | ForgeAus: No separate enterprise version, no. | 11:23 |
| Bilz | ActionParsnip: and i have set up port forwading on the router, which work | 11:23 |
| ForgeAus | like Redhat Enterprise? maybe Microsoft and/or other companies might take Ubuntu/Debian more seriously if its on their map... | 11:23 |
| Bilz | ActionParsnip: you can tell? lol... for some reason konversation wouldnt open without being root | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: n=root@77-101-3-168.cable.ubr04.edin.blueyonder.co.uk | 11:24 |
| ForgeAus | lol I thought it was the otherway around I thought konversation probably wouldn't work if you were as root! | 11:24 |
| athleone | okay, its failed -.- | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: if you try cd ~/; ls -a | 11:24 |
| Flannel | ForgeAus: The enterprise version is the same as the desktop one. There's no reason to keep the quality products from the general public. But this is offtopic, we can discuss it more in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like. | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: you should see a .konversation folder | 11:25 |
| combatwombat_nz | athleone: why? wht did it say? | 11:25 |
| * ForgeAus shrugs | 11:25 | |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: in the users home folder | 11:25 |

| Ava1L | but nothing on my ubuntu box | 11:34 |
| Bilz | ActionParsnip: any more ideas for fixing this irc server? I can open up port 6667 with netcat and then connect from an outside IP, btu when I start ircd-hybrid an outside ip cant connect to me on port 6667. however I can connect to myself locally and the irc server is working fine. | 11:34 |

| athleone | now what? | 11:35 |
| athleone | ? | 11:36 |
| larson9999 | what i don't understand is why in this day and age does ubuntu not by default mount removable media read/write by default. | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib32/libflashsupport.so | 11:37 |
| Ava1L | in restricted drivers , my geforce shows up , but my network doesnt, could that be any reason why i have no connection ? (noob question i bet) | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | larson9999: it might not be needed | 11:37 |
| frybye | lars - if you format in fat32 for eg it does or...? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | larson9999: if you mount read only then you can garuntee the data integrity once the media is returned to the owner if borrowed | 11:37 |
| frybye | the removable media in fat32 I mean.. | 11:37 |
| larson9999 | ActionParsnip, sure it might not. still seems like the wrong default for a desktop OS. | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | larson9999: change your fstab and it will be writable | 11:38 |
| athleone | nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib32/libflashsupport.so is not a valid NPAPI plugin | 11:38 |

| v1srobi1 | Hi everyone, I am having trouble creating a shared directory for music and video between two user accounts, the nautilus permissions dialogue doesnt seem to add permissions recusively, and I'm not too sure of the correct chmod command, or where would be the best place to put it. Any advice? | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: try it with /usr/lib/libflashplugin.so | 11:39 |
| Ava1L | so , anyone out there every come across problem freshly installing ubuntu and having no connection? did you need a driver for your network card? did you kick your keyboard to get an effect? anything | 11:39 |
| Ava1L | =) | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: or cd /; find -name libflash* | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: then you can use that output for the command | 11:40 |
| athleone | /usr/lib/libflashplugin.so | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: nspluginwrapper -i <whatever> | 11:40 |
| larson9999 | ActionParsnip, i know how to make it writable. i'm just curious why not make that default for a 'user friendly, grandma ready distro?' i'm an old vet and it seems like for about decade now this is one of the top complaint i get | 11:40 |
| magnetron | !anyone | Ava1L | 11:40 |
| ubottu | Ava1L: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | larson9999: its wireless and 3d support i see mostly in here | 11:42 |
| Ava1L | hmm | 11:42 |

| athleone | its taking a long ass time. | 11:43 |

| athleone | Why is it taking so long. | 11:43 |
| digitalfiz | anyone in here use vbox? | 11:43 |
| larson9999 | ActionParsnip, i did say 'one of the top complaints'. but lately wirelss and 3d are working more and more out of the box. | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: are youo runnig any firewalling blocking connections from outside your network | 11:43 |
| larson9999 | frybye, maybe. | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | larson9999: those or people wanting to poison their systems with compiz | 11:43 |
| Bilz | ActionParsnip: not as far as i know. like I said, opening the port with netcat works fine | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Bilz: did you open it on your router too? | 11:45 |
| Ava1L | Why do i not get a response from the "server" when i type sudo pppoeconf . It recognises i have a network card , but why wouldnt it get a response? | 11:45 |

| tamer | how i can install flash | 12:35 |
| orgthingy | tamer : go to adobe.com | 12:35 |
| Pici | tamer: Install the flashplugin-nonfree package. | 12:35 |
| orgthingy | then install flash for linux from there | 12:35 |
| Ockonal | Hello, after logining i saw for a long time orange screen, after that i saw a window... There was 2 buttons: Force Quit and Continue. After continue: i can see the background... Help, what to do? | 12:35 |
| Stardust | ok ... when i start my ubuntu i get only the wallpaper and the arrow but no apllication bar or icons on desktop! and alt+F2 does nothing! what should i do? | 12:35 |

| ActionParsnip | adac: heres mine: http://pastebin.com/f6ccb2bf2 | 12:36 |
| ubrec | any tips? | 12:36 |
| orgthingy | Pici : but, whats wrong with downloading from Adobe.com anyhow :P ? | 12:36 |
| Pici | AplaEgw: The same way you would parition anything else? | 12:36 |
| Atax | Hi all, for some reason I can turn the volume only half as loud under linux, as under Windows. Can I switch on some sort of volume-multiplication under Ubuntu-Linux? | 12:36 |
| orgthingy | they have a nice installer :P | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: i dont know about this metamodes thing | 12:36 |
| Pici | orgthingy: Which won't get security updates, which can cause issues during upgrades... | 12:37 |
| Pici | orgthingy: Thats why we have repositories | 12:37 |
| orgthingy | Pici : so, you're basically telling the world "not to make 3rd party apps, because they aint good for ubuntu" :P ? | 12:37 |
| orgthingy | but yea, downloading from ubuntu may be good | 12:37 |
| orgthingy | but, what if ubuntu repo doesnt have it :P | 12:37 |
| jim_p | orgthingy: what app are we talking about? | 12:37 |
| orgthingy | jim_p : flash | 12:37 |
| Ockonal | Can u help me? | 12:37 |
| orgthingy | and general 3rd party apps | 12:37 |
| Pici | orgthingy: But it does. | 12:38 |
| Stardust | ok ... when i start my ubuntu i get only the wallpaper and the arrow but no apllication bar or icons on desktop! and alt+F2 does nothing! what should i do? | 12:38 |
| jim_p | orgthingy: if it is not on the ubuntu repo, then it will be on some other guy's repo | 12:38 |
| adac | ActionParsnip, I think I just remove the nvidia drivers again and wait until my card is supported...I don't think it can be fixed without causing trouble and I don't want to mess up my system | 12:38 |
| jim_p | Ockonal: can you repeat?? | 12:38 |
| ubrec | once again: trying to install ubuntu but it hangs after I choose "Install Ubuntu" | 12:38 |
| Agion_ | ActionParsnip: I got only problems with my front mic, almost everything else works fine... | 12:38 |
| AplaEgw | i am confused and i don't understand how to partition a simple hard disk. follow the manual istall or not? How big my partitions should be in a 320GB raid 0 array? ie how much should the swap be and etd | 12:38 |
| jim_p | orgthingy: you want to install flashplayer 10? | 12:38 |
| orgthingy | jim_p : or, it'll be on nobody's repo.. instead, download from site :P ? | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: if you backup your current xorg.conf you can roll back if it gets messed up | 12:38 |
| deus | hey | 12:38 |
| orgthingy | jim_p : no no, scroll up and you'd understand | 12:39 |
| athleone | ActionParsnip: What do I do now? | 12:39 |
| Ockonal | jim_p: Hello, after logining i saw for a long time orange screen, after that i saw a window... There was 2 buttons: Force Quit and Continue. After continue: i can see the background... Help, what to do? | 12:39 |
| jim_p | orgthingy: i cant, i just entered the channel! | 12:39 |
| deus | In order to install ubuntu on a p3 multi cpu system, which installer should I use? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !flash | athleone | 12:39 |
| ubottu | athleone: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:39 |
| adac | ActionParsnip, ok I try that. Thx for the moment! | 12:39 |
| jim_p | Ockonal: are you on gnome or kde? | 12:39 |
| Ockonal | jim_p: Gnome: Ubuntu 8.04 | 12:39 |
| orgthingy | jim_p : I was arguing with Pici that discouraging downloading stuff from official site is BAD.. i mean, sooner or later Ubuntu repo cant just simply put all apps in repo | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | deus: the none 64bit desktop one is fine | 12:40 |
| orgthingy | (and it doesnt have all apps in repo anyway) | 12:40 |
| jim_p | orgthingy: true | 12:40 |

| Stardust | i was trying to install the gimp | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | thats it? | 12:42 |
| Stardust | the nautilus stopped working | 12:42 |
| Stardust | and when i rebooted | 12:42 |
| Stardust | it was like this | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Stardust: do you use kde or gnome? | 12:42 |
| jim_p | Ockonal: can you give us some info about your hardware or a possible update you did lately? | 12:42 |
| Stardust | i think gnome... sorry i'm a little noob about this | 12:42 |
| yao_ziyuan1 | i tried "sudo shutdown -F -r now" and it restarted the computer but didn't do a disk check. why? | 12:42 |
| Alaskan_Dragon | LoL, I'm on my third day! | 12:43 |

| bazhang | Mez, yes | 12:44 |
| Stardust | if i use ctrl+alt+f1 i can call the console but i don't know what to do from there | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: Stardust: if you boot to command line and renmame these folders then reboot you will get a stock system setup without reinstalling: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 12:45 |
| jrib | yao_ziyuan1: do 'sudo touch /forcecheck' munually | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: Stardust: all are in your home dir | 12:45 |
| Pici | jrib: I thought it was /forcefsck ? or do both work? | 12:45 |
| jrib | !resetpanel | adac | 12:45 |
| ubottu | adac: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:45 |
| athleone | ActionParsnip: I need ia36-lib-firefox | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: Stardust: only rename, do not delete | 12:45 |
| jrib | Pici: I think both work | 12:45 |
| |Ockonal| | And what may i do? | 12:46 |
| Stardust | i don't understand O.o | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: sudo apt-get install ia32-lib-firefox | 12:46 |
| orgthingy | oh boy, getdeb.net is down :| | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Stardust: reboot, press esc for grub menu, choose recovery. then drop to root command line, rename the folders with mv then reboot | 12:46 |
| adac | ActionParsnip, jrib : I tried your solution jrib! works perfect! thx guys | 12:47 |
| |Ockonal| | 1 | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Stardust: you may wanna try gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel in a termnal (cheers jrib) | 12:48 |

| yao_ziyuan1 | jrib: didn't work either | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: you need to find a repo with that lib on it (as you say that what you need) | 12:50 |
| Cheery | does there exist a nonbroken version of ubuntu somewhere? | 12:50 |
| jrib | yao_ziyuan1: try 'sudo touch /forcefsck' then. I may have recalled incorrectly | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | athleone: or you can download the .deb for it | 12:50 |
| Cheery | the 8.04 LTS is total crap | 12:50 |
| walwan | ActionParsnip, Is there a way to get display settings back to what they were when I first booted after install ? | 12:50 |

| Stardust | ok i did ctr+alt+F1 to open a terminal and writed what you said but it says "gonome-panel: no process killed" | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | walwan: if you backup your xorg.conf you can rollback the changes, rather than go back to square 1 | 12:52 |
| athleone | how about ia32-libs? Is that fine, ActionParsnip? | 12:52 |
| Ockonal | ActionParsnip: yes, there is some text... But i didnt remember it | 12:52 |

| jrib | Pici: you were right. /forcecheck doesn't work at all | 12:54 |
| kelder | asho79: 256mb is below recommendation for ubuntu - my advice is to plug some more ram in or try xubuntu instead | 12:54 |

| Cheery | hmm... actually.. I perhaps would like to get bleeding edge, but can't find the link from the site | 12:54 |
| dings_ | asho79: you may want to try xubuntu, it's easier on old hardware | 12:54 |

| Hackwar2 | (Please don't kill me for crossposting this in #ubuntu and #ubuntustudio. :-) ) | 14:41 |
| Hackwar2 | hi people, I'm working at a university and we want to create a DVD to spread the OpenSource & Linux love among our students. :-) I want to use a distribution that provides the best possible set of features for our students and Ubuntu seems just right. Now I'm a big fan of Firefox and Thunderbird/Lightning and I'm a sucker that still uses windoze himself. | 14:41 |
| Hackwar2 | I'd like to install both Firefox and Thunderbird on said DVD and create a folder with the win versions of the most basic OpenSource programs. | 14:41 |
| Hackwar2 | Now the question: Is Ubuntu the right distro for me and how do I install the FF and Thunderbird packages into the ISO? I would be happy about any help. :-) (We want to create 1.000 DVDs and spread them among our 38.000 students. If its well received, we'll even produce more.) | 14:41 |

| Pici | iqson716: Did you read the documentation on that website? | 15:16 |
| iqson716 | Pici: yes | 15:16 |
| TehLaser | I did some updates before firefox broke, but I can't remember if firefox was one of the updates. | 15:16 |
| Pici | iqson716: What part are you having trouble with? | 15:16 |
| generate | second question: I have 'ufw default deny' because I want to whitelist allowed traffic, but it seems like there's no way of allowing outgoing traffic, for instance outgoing to 80/tcp, and I can't find anything in google that ddresses this | 15:16 |
| iqson716 | Pici: there is a command that not work --> make linux :-/ | 15:17 |
| generate | er - allowing outgoing traffic as a wildcard | 15:17 |
| athleone | how do I delete an apt-get? | 15:17 |
| generate | (other than allowing from my ip, which may/may not change) | 15:17 |
| generate | is there a way to allow all traffic from a particular device? | 15:18 |
| hanasakiRemote | athleone: apt-get remove | 15:18 |

| danbh_intrepid | rebel_kid: I think you are supposed to use rsync -aS source destination | 15:18 |
| boggystudios | Can't get 'updatedb' to work in hardy | 15:18 |
| generate | like bsd's pf | 15:18 |
| Pici | iqson716: you need to cd to the directory that you extracted the source to | 15:18 |
| rebel_kid | danbh_intrepid, thats over my head | 15:18 |
| iqson716 | Pici: I do it! | 15:18 |

| jasuntoX | ubuntu 64 bit can be installed on core 2 duo right? | 15:19 |
| christoph3307 | yes | 15:19 |
| jasuntoX | is it worth it? | 15:19 |
| generate | basically, I want to do the equivalent of 'pass in quick on eth0 proto tcp from any to any' in ufw, is this possible? | 15:19 |
| TehLaser | depends how much RAM you have, jasuntoX. | 15:19 |
| christoph3307 | jasuntoX: no | 15:19 |
| rebel_kid | danbh_intrepid, through the instructions in !home, but it didnt go through like they did and copy it over and then add it to the system, just copied, basically i have a partition with /home on it | 15:20 |
| jasuntoX | i want to get 4gb thats why i was asking | 15:20 |
| christoph3307 | jasuntoX: with 4gb ram, yes | 15:20 |
| generate | reinis_: fsck maybe? | 15:20 |
| jasuntoX | all apps will still work? | 15:20 |
| jasuntoX | no issues? | 15:20 |
| raraujo | I have a problem when pressing the <TAB> key in the console | 15:20 |
| iqson716 | Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48315/ | 15:20 |
| danbh_intrepid | rebel_kid: so your /home partition already has the /home files? | 15:20 |
| raraujo | when I am just going to a path it works like /et... | 15:20 |
| raraujo | but if I have something before like vi /et..., then I have the following message | 15:21 |
| raraujo | vi /et-sh: <( compgen -d -- '/et' ): No such file or directory | 15:21 |
| raraujo | -sh: <( eval compgen -f -X '*.@(o|so|so.!(conf)|a|rpm|gif|GIF|jp?(e)g|JP?(E)G|mp3|MP3|mp?(e)g|MPG|avi|AVI|asf|ASF|ogg|OGG|class|CLASS)' -- $(quote_readline $cur) ): No such file or directory | 15:21 |
| christoph3307 | jasuntoX: there are ofte issues beacause there are not as many 64bit driver as 32 bit driver, my soundcard never worked on 64 bit | 15:21 |
| raraujo | it works as root but not as user | 15:21 |
| TehLaser | 3rd party software can be... problematic on 64-bit too. | 15:21 |
| reinis_ | where is fsck located at ubuntu 8.04? | 15:22 |
| rebel_kid | danbh_intrepid, i had to reinstall ubuntu, so i just have a regular install with home but then i have another partition that has my old home folder on it, and i wanna mount or copy that to the /home in this install | 15:22 |
| iqson716 | Pici: There is a notice that shown me after make command: # linux = RedHat Linux box, Intel icc, MPICH2, FFTW | 15:22 |

| DaveJL | Look for help as a new Ubuntu user (but not new linux user - usuall have been on the RHEL side of the fence). Just installed latest "server" on a Intel DG31PR mb and network connectivity is fine. I install the same desktop version and I can't get the network to work (no pings). It "seems" to recognize the hardware and lets me set a manual IP, but it just does not work. | 15:41 |

| gam3r111 | does anyone know how to format an sd card? | 15:44 |
| DaveJL | Yes danbh_intrepid, burned new CDs (just downloaded) for both server and desktop - install went fine in both cases. The server network seettings were done during install, the desktop did not ask. | 15:44 |
| gam3r111 | in ubuntu | 15:44 |
| ldiamond | gam3r111, use GParted | 15:44 |
| gam3r111 | idiamond: how | 15:44 |
| ldiamond | "Ldiamond" | 15:44 |
| Pici | ole3475: Do you use that with Windows as well? | 15:44 |
| ldiamond | gam3r111 its in Administration I think< | 15:44 |
| ldiamond | in the menu | 15:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | DaveJL: well, if you used a new cd to install, the simplest route might be to go back, and just install with that server cd. Then run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop maybe there is something wrong with the desktop cd... but the method I gave you should get you in the same place | 15:44 |
| ldiamond | gam3r111 or launch it from a terminal. sudo gparted I believe | 15:45 |

| zoed | knoppix_: yes | 16:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dragon there is a factoid that might fix it, I just dont know the trigger... | 16:03 |
| dfgas | Jack_Sparrow, yes | 16:03 |
| === PirateKRF is now known as KRF | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | dfgas do a search for ubuntu mixing ide sata and you will find lots of info | 16:03 |
| zoed | Dragon: just change the userid of /etc/sudoers | 16:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dfgas it isnt just ubuntu fyi | 16:03 |
| ole3475 | well now firefox quit on me and it won't restart. I was just going to open a terminal and type in what it said on that post | 16:03 |
| Dragon | how would i do that? | 16:03 |
| Dragon | zoed: How would i do that | 16:04 |
| dfgas | Jack_Sparrow, yah kinda what i figured, right now i am just loading th eboot menu | 16:04 |
| zoed | Dragon: chown 0:0 /etc/sudoers | 16:04 |
| ole3475 | i just want to get my flashdrive so that i can transfer files to it for safe keeping!!!!????? | 16:04 |

| Dragon | zoed: chown: changing ownership of `/etc/sudoers': Operation not permitted | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ole3475 that link had all you needed to know about forcing it to mount | 16:05 |
| knoppix_ | I'm just curious if jack_sparrow an svr clan member? | 16:05 |
| TexHex | Dragon do you have a root password set? | 16:05 |
| Assargadon_ | hmm...what regular expression corresponds to emty string only? | 16:05 |
| Dragon | TexHex: Yes | 16:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ole3475 you can put it back into a windows box and windows can clear the lock as well | 16:05 |
| TexHex | den su - | 16:05 |
| TexHex | then | 16:05 |
| ole3475 | well i guess i need to restart ubuntu then and come back here...hopefully firefox will work then | 16:05 |
| zoed | Dragon: do what TexHex says, I didn't think you set a root password | 16:05 |
| SchneeSchwarz | pdlnhrd: AllowTcpForwarding yes in sshd_conf. That is the default BTW. | 16:06 |
| le_mischa | Dragon: are you sure? Ubuntu does not set root-pw by default! | 16:06 |
| TexHex | chown 0:0 /etc/sudoers | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !root | 16:06 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:06 |
| trojan_ | A | 16:06 |
| Dragon | le_mischa: It should be i've been using it the entire time | 16:06 |

| Dragon | I still get the error sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1001, should be 0 | 16:08 |

| jochmen | you see | 16:14 |
| SchneeSchwarz | pdlnhrd: then there's nothing listening on port 1526 on the server side. In this case, "connection refused" is what is to be expected. | 16:14 |

| Jack_Sparrow | knoppix_ please stop, you are offtopic | 16:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deus are you on a Dell or HP? | 16:24 |

| deus | Jack_Sparrow: no it's a supermicor | 16:24 |
| deus | Jack_Sparrow: supermicro | 16:24 |

| Jack_Sparrow | deus I have not seen it happen on anything but Dell and HP.. so far.. | 16:26 |
| Prose | ushimitsudoki: actually 'users' just lists the same thing as 'who' at this moment :( | 16:26 |
| kthakore | Prose, what do mean that I am ssh? | 16:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deus # 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 "--" | 16:26 |

| amanulla_ | like in xpppppppp | 16:52 |
| gtpro102 | is it easy to install ubuntu on a fest formated harddrive? im a noob lol | 16:52 |
| tk09c | Question: I messed up my source.list without backing it up. Is it possible for me use another? Like is there an archived source.list online? | 16:53 |
| amanulla_ | sorry hibernate | 16:53 |
| duncan-nz | what's 'fest' formated? | 16:53 |
| gtpro102 | well formated | 16:53 |
| gtpro102 | brand new hd | 16:53 |
| gtpro102 | no os on it | 16:53 |
| MrD1 | amanulla, click on the shut down button then press hipernata | 16:53 |
| duncan-nz | tk09c, you can always pull a clean one out of the live cd. | 16:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tk09c you might be able to run livecd and pull a fresh copy from thee | 16:53 |
| CyberCod | tk09c: yep... just search for "ubuntu default sources.list" | 16:53 |
| tk09c | Thanks guys! | 16:53 |
| duncan-nz | tk09c, CyberCod's idea is better. | 16:54 |

| rkvirani | how do they find it? I have a mininote, I really appreciate the keybaord | 16:54 |
| amanulla | MrD1:here there is no hibernate option for me how can i get it? | 16:54 |
| rkvirani | only problem is the display drivers for the via are flakey | 16:55 |
| bazhang | rkvirani, this is not the chat channel | 16:55 |
| rkvirani | I wanted to run ume-launcher | 16:55 |
| duncan-nz | badfish, can you help me? I've tried finding it in parted, but 'print -a' didn't show it either. | 16:55 |
| gtpro102 | im trying to install ubuntu on a new hd do i just pop the disk in and it goes? | 16:55 |
| bazhang | rkvirani, #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:55 |
| rkvirani | bazhang: ume-launcher is part of ubuntu | 16:55 |
| bazhang | gtpro102, set in bios to boot from cd | 16:55 |
| badfish | duncan-nz: in your terminal type sudo apt-get gparted | 16:55 |
| rkvirani | bazhang: or did you not know about it? its part of the netbook distro | 16:56 |
| bazhang | rkvirani, chatting is not for this channel; you are asking about hardware | 16:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gtpro102 pretty much | 16:56 |
| gtpro102 | k and it will take off? no dos etc? | 16:56 |
| MrD1 | amanulla, in that case i am quite new to ubuntu, but on the shutdown botton top right side when i press it a box appears with the options in that case you will have to ask some one in the room | 16:56 |
| neildf | @gtpro102: is ubuntu going to be the only OS or are you trying to dual boot? | 16:56 |
| CyberCod | what are some good sites for Ubuntu tutorial screencasts? (aside from the official one) | 16:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !eeepc > rkvirani | 16:56 |

| wfps_105 | Hello all | 16:56 |
| rkvirani | bazhang: which is completely related to ubuntu as there are ubuntu distributions for specific hardware platforms | 16:56 |
| duncan-nz | badfish, aha! I can see it in gparted, but didn't with parted... I'll let you know if I hit another problem. thanks. | 16:56 |

| Skyrail | Is there a command to see what computers are attached to my network so I can get the IP of a computer without having to visit my router's page everytime | 16:56 |
| amanulla | any one | 16:57 |
| neildf | gtpro102: pretty much yes then, you will be prompted to answer some questions but the install is pretty straight forward | 16:57 |
| badfish | excellent | 16:57 |
| rkvirani | Im out of here, you people... | 16:57 |
| cenubis | amanulla: you can't if you're using it with a windows computer | 16:57 |
| CyberCod | Skyrail: I think it's in network tools... investigate | 16:57 |
| gtpro102 | nive so just burn the iso and pop it in the comp with boot from disk? | 16:57 |
| notwist | Does inteprid have any improvements in network card drivers? Thinking about upgrading my router-box or should i wait? One of my NICs (or maybe two) doesnt work :/ | 16:57 |
| rkvirani | Im not asking for support, you dont want to talk about ubuntu and hardware then fine. | 16:57 |

| Pici | CyberCod: #ubuntu-offtopic please | 16:58 |
| gtpro102 | hell yea thanks! | 16:58 |
| duncan-nz | badfish, OK, I can see it but gparted says that it is "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem!" | 16:58 |
| neildf | np! | 16:58 |
| Skyrail | CyberCod: ok thanks, I'll see what I can find :) | 16:58 |
| amanulla | cenubis:im running ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop | 16:58 |
| badfish | it's probably formatted for windows | 16:58 |
| cenubis | amanulla: did you install it ontop of windows | 16:58 |
| cenubis | or did you format? | 16:58 |
| duncan-nz | badfish, yeps, NTFS - but I thought ntfs support was now in Ubuntu. | 16:59 |
| gtpro102 | once i get it on there can i dual boot from ubuntu in to xp or vista? | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | duncan-nz read write but not the os | 16:59 |
| amanulla | i installed it using wubi in windows | 16:59 |
| === chattan is now known as ee | ||
| cenubis | yeah that would be why | 16:59 |
| duncan-nz | Jack_Sparrow, I don't understand. | 16:59 |
| amanulla | cenubis:is im clear? | 16:59 |
| CyberCod | gtpro102: dualbooting is petty easy.... triplebooting is a little more complicated | 16:59 |
| cenubis | yes | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gtpro102 it handles that for you as long as you dont format the windows partition | 16:59 |
| cenubis | there is maybe a work around | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | duncan-nz You cant install ubuntu on ntfs | 16:59 |
| cenubis | but as i know you cant hibernate if you installed it with wubi | 16:59 |
| Svish | Skyrail: found something useful yet? | 17:00 |
| amanulla | cenubis:if i make dual boot will i find that option? | 17:00 |
| cenubis | yes | 17:00 |
| cenubis | if you partition | 17:00 |
| badfish | he's trying to access his second hard disk | 17:00 |

| badfish | i'd hope he's already tried to mount manually | 17:02 |
| duncan-nz | Jack_Sparrow, no. | 17:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | duncan-nz sudo mkdir /media/test then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test | 17:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | duncan-nz is that what you tried. | 17:03 |
| duncan-nz | I've created a dir in /media and try to mount with 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Storage but no luck. | 17:03 |
| duncan-nz | Jack_Sparrow, yes. | 17:04 |

| bazhang | amanulla, not even nearly enough | 17:09 |
| yyin | all right, jack_Sparrow, I'll try it | 17:09 |
| frosterrj | what is the equivalent of cat /etc/release to find out which version a box is running? | 17:09 |
| langz1 | I need to know about ports Jack | 17:09 |

| amanulla | yes my ubuntu 8 is installed using wubi | 17:11 |
| d_dyer | ok thanks | 17:11 |
| bazhang | amanulla, that makes no sense. | 17:11 |
| frosterrj | Jack_Sparrow: no details on alpha/beta/rc level? | 17:12 |
| amanulla | why any problem | 17:12 |
| bazhang | amanulla, if it is via wubi you have xp already installed | 17:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amanulla be aware that wubi is more of a test drive that something you should use long term | 17:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | than | 17:12 |

| tgpraveen | hey guys anyone knows how to make reliance netconnect work on ubuntu8.04? | 17:13 |

| ushimitsudoki | Prose: i don't think so - not on my system at least. uname is a command, though | 17:13 |
| amanulla | actually my problem is with configuring internet connection | 17:13 |
| amikrop | How could I create an ad-hoc wireless network between two Ubuntu laptops? | 17:13 |
| Prose | ushimitsudoki: because I have a user called uname and he has a home folder | 17:13 |
| Prose | I'm not sure if I can safely remove him with 'deluser' | 17:13 |

| Skyrail | How do I find the local IP of my computer (and what other network commands can I learn to help me with stuff like this?) | 17:30 |
| ushimitsudoki | Skyrail: sudo ifconfig will show you the basic information. check that first | 17:30 |

| jarco | anyone has a solution for me? (sorry f u told me already my connection was acting up) | 17:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | gtpro102: take it to ##windows | 17:45 |
| Pici | jarco: you cannot mount .mds files with mount -o loop | 17:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: you mean you want to see what video driver is loaded? | 17:46 |
| jarco | how to do it then? Pici | 17:46 |
| Vladimir[LV] | bind DNS server manual quote: "Now that the zone is setup and resolving names to IP Adresses a Reverse zone is also required." | 17:46 |
| Vladimir[LV] | why im need to configure revers zone, if im not a ISP? | 17:46 |
| Pici | jarco: You'd need to convert it to an iso or possibly use gisomount (I'm not sure if that supports non-iso images) | 17:46 |
| danbh_intrepid | Vladimir[LV]: what are you? | 17:46 |
| Bikerbob | no .. want to see what modules are on the machine.. if my driver is even available to load? | 17:46 |
| jorrit | Vladimir[LV], You'd only use rev. DNS for the IP-range(s) you control | 17:46 |
| Vladimir[LV] | danbh_intrepid: im just setting up my web site | 17:46 |
| Bikerbob | cant get X to run.. | 17:47 |

| bharani | hi how to take a complete image of the current OS running with the softwares and settings | 17:47 |
| jarco | mmmk Pici | 17:47 |
| jarco | i will try that | 17:47 |
| bharani | and to install later | 17:47 |
| pmann | Please help me | 17:47 |
| Bikerbob | my install did not give me a configure and I cant get it to come up | 17:47 |
| jason__ | Bikerbob: to see modules loaded you can use lsmod | 17:47 |
| jorrit | Vladimir[LV], then you should limit rev. DNS to your local IP's for internal DNS it's quite handy. | 17:48 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: you can use modprobe to load modules, and it looks in /lib/modules/KERNELVERSION by default and also in other directories if specified in /etc/modprobe.conf | 17:48 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: man modprobe for more details about that | 17:48 |
| pmann | we accidentally loaded ubuntu on top of windows and cannot access windows | 17:48 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: what do you mean? | 17:48 |
| pmann | downloaded off internet | 17:48 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: did you tell ubuntu to use the whole disc? | 17:48 |
| Bikerbob | ok got that.. but I think there is a way with aptitude to list all the video drivers? anyone? | 17:48 |
| pmann | said we could load alongside windows | 17:48 |
| pmann | without creating any partition | 17:49 |
| pmann | now the only thing that will boot is ubuntu | 17:49 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: did you install wubi? | 17:49 |
| jorrit | pmann, there is an option in Windows fdisk for that: fdisk/mbr | 17:49 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: the command is fixmbr | 17:49 |
| pmann | no it didn't ask | 17:49 |
| jatt | Hi, when I access a shared partition through System->Connect to Server... the shared partition disappears from my desktop. Is there any way to make such shares persistent by default? | 17:49 |
| pmann | made it sound like it would just load alongside windows | 17:49 |
| pmann | but it took over whole machine | 17:50 |
| jatt | (the shared partition disappears from my desktop after I reboot) | 17:50 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: are you in ubuntu now? | 17:50 |
| Bikerbob | are video drivers modules? aka vesa, or ati etc? | 17:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: yes | 17:50 |
| _Zeus_ | go to a terminal and pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l | 17:50 |
| Pici | pmann: When you boot, do you get a menu or a prompt to press ESC to see the menu? | 17:50 |
| _Zeus_ | !paste | pmann | 17:50 |
| pmann | yes | 17:50 |

| Bikerbob | hmmm.. I have no driver modules loaded.. wierd | 17:50 |
| pmann | cant find anyway to uninstall ubuntu | 17:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: are you using the system in question now? | 17:51 |
| pmann | NO chance to see menu | 17:51 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: post the output of sudo fdisk -l | 17:51 |
| pmann | boots straight to ubuntu | 17:51 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: DO WHAT I SAID ALREADY | 17:51 |
| jorrit | pmann, if you haven't overwritten your Windows partitiions, you can get back your original Master boot record in the way I told you before | 17:52 |
| Pici | pmann: Even if you install Ubuntu over everything, you should still get that prompt. | 17:52 |
| pmann | said command not found | 17:52 |
| case^ | I love # | 17:52 |
| _Zeus_ | what did you type? | 17:52 |

| jorrit | case^: grin | 17:52 |
| Bikerbob | in the room with me ushimitsudoki | 17:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: What I mean is if you are seeing video output, then some driver is loaded. | 17:53 |
| Bikerbob | I did this the other day.. I was able to use aptitude to give me a list of drivers.. cant remember how now. | 17:53 |
| pmann | Pici: I get a countdown | 17:53 |
| Bikerbob | no ushimitsudoki I am on another computer | 17:53 |
| Pici | pmann: Can you press escape during that? | 17:53 |
| pmann | but no chance to choose windows | 17:53 |
| case^ | are many people running hardy? I wonder because ff3 is unstable as hell | 17:53 |
| Pici | pmann: What is listed? | 17:54 |
| jorrit | case^: That's fixed after the first update of FF3 | 17:54 |
| pmann | zeus:: at desktop prompt typed: sudo fdisk-1 | 17:54 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: that's a lowercase L, not one | 17:54 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: you can search packages with "apt-cache search <string>" and it will return valid results. I'm not aware of a way to restrict a search to "drivers" only | 17:54 |
| Pici | pmann: and a space between the -l and fdisk | 17:54 |
| pmann | ok | 17:54 |
| case^ | *opens synaptic* | 17:54 |
| _Zeus_ | Pici: thanks for catching that | 17:55 |
| ushimitsudoki | Bikerbob: aptitude search works basically the same way as far as i know | 17:55 |

| Jowi | anyone know a fix? | 17:57 |
| === zom[Bee] is now known as Gh0st | ||
| _Zeus_ | Jowi: i would say maybe your usb connectors are loose/damaged? | 17:58 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: did you use pastebin? | 17:58 |
| jorrit | Jowi: Are you using an external Western Digital HDD? Thos things have a cr*ppy PSU | 17:58 |
| _Zeus_ | jorrit: it's ok to say crappy | 17:58 |
| Jowi | jorrit, yes, I am actually. | 17:58 |
| Jowi | jorrit, but it's the 2,5" model - usb powered | 17:59 |

| Jowi | I intended to use it for unatended backups. Set up a cron job for it and it works fine. But once per day this happen. | 18:00 |

| nebuchadnezzar | hello | 18:00 |
| jorrit | Jowi: I never trust WD after my MyBook disasters. A cheapo coolermaster brick worked much better than this fancy-pants WD HDD (It had really nice visual design, though :-) ) | 18:00 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: send us the link | 18:00 |
| jorrit | Jowi, if there is still warranty on the bugger, try to get a return for it after you've made a backup of your valuable data. I was out of the warranty period, so I just opened the thing to get me HDD | 18:02 |
| case^ | Jowi: ta | 18:02 |
| nebuchadnezzar | ok, as there is nobody on #ubuntu-boot I think here is the good place to ask question about partman recipes ? | 18:02 |
| Izinucs | Question? | 18:02 |
| Jowi | jorrit, _Zeus_ I'm afraid that it might be a kernel bug though. It's not the first time USB hub resets and was documented in the Feisty and Gutsy kernels. Well, it is an external disk so no need to open any case here :) | 18:02 |
| pmann | I dont see any link it just says "download as text" we have never used Ubuntu before so don't know what the %#@ we are doing | 18:02 |

| nebuchadnezzar | ok, there is an ubuntu-installer, see you | 18:04 |
| Izinucs | _Zeus_: and pmann has setup all the partitions for hi install inside of an extended partition. | 18:05 |
| Jowi | pmann, it's gone (on the primary disk at least) | 18:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Zeus_ Agreed | 18:05 |
| pmann | so is there anything I can do? | 18:05 |
| _Zeus_ | sorry, pmann. i think all is lost | 18:05 |
| gtpro102 | is it common for an iso's to become a bad burn? | 18:05 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: i doubt it | 18:05 |
| _Zeus_ | gtpro102: depends on the speed | 18:06 |
| mrbiscuit78 | hey can someone help me with frost wire | 18:06 |
| _Zeus_ | gtpro102: were you using max speed? | 18:06 |
| gtpro102 | i did it at 16 the first time and trying it at 1 now | 18:06 |
| _Zeus_ | gtpro102: try that, yes | 18:06 |
| _Zeus_ | gtpro102: you might want to compare the MD5sum also | 18:06 |
| Jowi | _Zeus_, jorrit thanks for the feedback. I dive into it a bit further. | 18:06 |
| pmann | so ubuntu repartioned and used the whole drive or something? | 18:06 |
| gtpro102 | i tryed but i cant figure it out lol | 18:06 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: you might be able to recover SOME files, but i would say your chances are <1% | 18:06 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: when you installed ubuntu, you told it to use the whole drive | 18:07 |
| jorrit | pmann, There are some tools to get back some of your data, but they are really difficult to use and if you pplan to use them, shut off your computer and don't run any OS from that HDD | 18:07 |
| gtpro102 | ill try the disk again b4 i go threw the md5 | 18:07 |
| pmann | should I just try converting my old windows files to ubuntu files or are you saying they are completely gone? | 18:07 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: if you want to try to salvage some data, you need to take that hard drive and put it in another computer | 18:07 |
| vadi2 | I broke my video resolution, and already tried using envy and hardware drivers to fix it. Can anyone help? | 18:07 |
| mrbiscuit78 | can some one help me install frost wire | 18:07 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: your old windows files are gone | 18:07 |
| jorrit | pmann, You can consider the area that your swap drive now occopies as completely lost. | 18:07 |
| _Zeus_ | !info frostwire | mrbiscuit78 | 18:07 |
| ubottu | mrbiscuit78: Package frostwire does not exist in hardy | 18:07 |
| pmann | Oh crap | 18:08 |
| jorrit | pmann, occopies => occupies | 18:08 |
| _Zeus_ | mrbiscuit78: what's wrong? | 18:08 |
| pmann | there was no warning or anything | 18:08 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: there are instructions. did you read the back of the cd case? | 18:08 |
| pmann | it said I could install alongside windows by using that option | 18:08 |
| mrbiscuit78 | _zeus_: it wont install | 18:08 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: do you have 2 hard drives? | 18:08 |
| pmann | no | 18:08 |
| _Zeus_ | !ask | mrbiscuit78 | 18:08 |
| ubottu | mrbiscuit78: 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. :-) | 18:08 |
| _Zeus_ | i wonder what happened to pmann's sda3 and sda4... | 18:09 |
| case^ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/48358/ - hmm | 18:09 |
| jorrit | _Zeus_, yes, that's a good one... | 18:09 |
| d_dyer | ok,now i have another question,How can i put a "Trash" icon on the desktop | 18:10 |
| mrbiscuit78 | _zeus_: when i go to install it it gives me a error | 18:10 |
| gtpro102 | fuck yeaa lick that taint spit on that ass hole! it worked!! :))) | 18:10 |
| _Zeus_ | !language | gtpro102 | 18:10 |
| ubottu | gtpro102: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:10 |
| Izinucs | _Zeus_: did he use Wubi? or actually install it locally? | 18:10 |
| pmann | what is sda 3 and sda 4? | 18:10 |
| gtpro102 | lol | 18:10 |
| _Zeus_ | I think he installed it locally... | 18:10 |
| _Zeus_ | otherwise i don't think he'd be saying he can't get to windows | 18:10 |
| Bikerbob | ok - so if I modify the Xorg.conf I need to run dpkg to make it work? | 18:10 |
| digitalfiz | why oh why wont my capture card work, why oh why wont it worrrrrrrk *sings a tune* | 18:11 |
| _Zeus_ | Bikerbob: no | 18:11 |
| PredaGR | hello, is there some package selection for GIMP to have photoshop style image effects? | 18:11 |
| _Zeus_ | PredaGR: you might want to try GIMPshop | 18:11 |
| _Zeus_ | !info gimpshop | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Package gimpshop does not exist in hardy | 18:11 |
| jorrit | PredaGR, Waht effects are you looking for? | 18:11 |
| Bikerbob | so if I modify Xorg.conf and save it.. then rerun startx it will use the one I changed? | 18:11 |
| PredaGR | mosaic, blur | 18:11 |
| _Zeus_ | Bikerbob: yes | 18:11 |
| digitalfiz | gimpshop gives a layout similair to photoshop but you wont find the tools to compare to photoshop | 18:12 |
| _Zeus_ | PredaGR: for mosaic, try using the plugin GIMPressionist | 18:12 |
| jorrit | PredaGR, blur exists by default. | 18:12 |
| Izinucs | _Zeus_: pmann if he installed it locally and used an auto configuration script from the install choices, it's weird that it created an extended partition then installed inside of that.. there had to have been some manual override as some point to make fstab look like this. | 18:12 |
| aar | Hi there, is it possible to ssh into a Win system from a Liinux box using openssh-server and openssh-client? | 18:12 |
| PredaGR | thanks | 18:12 |
| PredaGR | will look for those | 18:12 |
| jorrit | aar: try FreeSSHD | 18:12 |
| _Zeus_ | Izinucs: yeah, i dont get it | 18:12 |
| aar | jorrit, thanks will look into it! | 18:12 |
| pmann | When my son downloaded it he asked if he could go ahead. I looked at the options. One talked about making partions but one said install right inside or alongside windows. I gave no hint that windows would go away. | 18:12 |
| Bikerbob | ok in the device section there is the line Option and I had "UseFBDev" in there.. if I want to use ATI driver.. do I say "UseATI" ? | 18:12 |

| _Zeus_ | d_dyer: can you drag the trash can to the desktop? | 18:13 |
| d_dyer | desktop* | 18:13 |
| jorrit | d_dyer, just make ln -s of your trashbox | 18:13 |
| pmann | It made it sound like it would run inside windows | 18:13 |
| natalisushka | hi all, please help me in this. I have a laptop with ubuntu 8.04, lspci shows this: http://pastebin.com/mbdaaaf4 .. and have a problem with graphic card (I guess) .. I have restricted drivers "ATI accelerator" installed, and visual effects to none. Yet, after using many apps with mouse and keyboard so so much active, I get my USB stopped working, so mouse stops (except for the pad), and any other USB device. The system slows down a bit, espec | 18:13 |
| natalisushka | ially in webbrowser (gets stuck for a few seconds every minute), and when I restart or shutdown my system it gets stuck forever. | 18:13 |
| Bogus8 | when I try to umount a drive I'm getting device busy... how can I check what is hanging it up? I've shut down samba and apache and I don't think anything else would be in it | 18:13 |
| Izinucs | pmann: there are other questions later on down the install process. If you weren't watching the entire time he may have chosen the wrong thing.. | 18:13 |

| _Zeus_ | natalisushka: sorry, i didn't get the thing that you reinstalled. | 18:16 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, what do you mean power management problem? And what will that command do? | 18:16 |
| pmann | yes burned a cd | 18:16 |
| _Zeus_ | d_dyer: run this command: ln -s ~/.local/share/Trash/files ~/Desktop | 18:17 |
| Izinucs | pmann: not downloaded.. but how did you start the install process.. 1> boot into windows then put in the cd made from the download or 2> put the cd in and rebooted the machine. | 18:17 |
| pmann | put it drive and intalled | 18:17 |
| pmann | from cd | 18:17 |
| natalisushka | _Zeus_, what do you mean? What is it that you didn't get exactly? | 18:17 |
| v4vijayakumar | I will try that _zeus | 18:17 |
| pmann | then it restarted computer | 18:17 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, This command will turn off acpi power mgmt support and (sometimes buggy) lapic implementations in the kernel | 18:17 |
| _Zeus_ | pmann: were you in windows when you installed? | 18:17 |
| _Zeus_ | natalisushka: when you said it worked in a previous installation, i thought you meant it worked in hardy and doesn't in intrepid | 18:17 |
| Izinucs | _Zeus_: looks like he did it from a cold boot. | 18:17 |
| _Zeus_ | but never mind, i was just being dumb | 18:18 |
| pmann | yes was running windows | 18:18 |
| pmann | but the cd rebooted the computer | 18:18 |
| Izinucs | maybe i'm wrong. | 18:18 |

| _Zeus_ | and right now, you are in ubuntu only, not ubuntu running in windows | 18:19 |
| Izinucs | pmann: so windows was on the screen and you put the cd in the drive and made your choices. At the end it rbooted.. right? _Zeus_ | 18:19 |
| pmann | yes it seems so | 18:19 |
| natalisushka | _Zeus_, I mentioned it's the same installation .. I had 8.04 before and compiz worked, now I reinstalled the same 8.04 but compiz doesn't work. that's not the issue, I just ment to explain how symptoms of my problem appeared when effects are ON | 18:19 |

| _Zeus_ | Izinucs: you agree? | 18:20 |
| Izinucs | _Zeus_: then the son made some bad choices when the install got to the partitioning section... might be best to reinstall fresh using the entire drive to eliminate the extended partition install. | 18:20 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, what exactly is that command? Can you type it again? | 18:20 |

| Ash-Fox | You know, I do find it kind of stupid that there is a 'irc' account included with the default ubuntu installation, where IRC servers are installed to. Yet, when a IRCd running under that account tries to bind STANDARD IRC ports in /etc/services - 194/tcp and 994/tcp, the kernel refuses to do so because it's a port under 1024. So what is the point of having that account on the system? | 18:31 |
| Thesmyth | Has anyone here used Likewise Open? | 18:31 |

| [R] | ok, well thanks for the info | 18:36 |
| Ash-Fox | stdin, it's why the unofficial 6667 port became so popular for IRC. I just find this behaviour in linux distributions annoying. I solved the issue with a iptables forwarding rule, but really I think there should be a exception in the kernel to just allow binding of service specific ports through authorized system accounts. | 18:36 |

| jorrit | natalisushka, I'm back, now about those commands... | 18:50 |
| natalisushka | hi all, please help me in this. I have a laptop with ubuntu 8.04, lspci shows this: http://pastebin.com/mbdaaaf4 .. and have a problem with graphic card (I guess) .. I have restricted drivers "ATI accelerator" installed, and visual effects to none. Yet, after using many apps with mouse and keyboard so so much active, I get my USB stopped working, so mouse stops (except for the pad), and any other USB device. The system slows down a bit, espec | 18:51 |
| natalisushka | ially in webbrowser (gets stuck for a few seconds every minute), and when I restart or shutdown my system it gets stuck forever. Now compiz donst work for some reason, but in a previous installation of ubuntu 8.04 (same ubuntu version) it worked, and when I set my visual effects to Normal, the problem gets worse, I get logged out with a unix screen and gets stuck there! So seems like in both, when visual effects are ON and when they are OFF, | 18:51 |
| natalisushka | same problems with different behavior of symptom, which makes it look like a graphic card issue. What can I do??? | 18:51 |
| case^ | wall | 18:51 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, listening :) | 18:51 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, "lapic" and "noacpi" are kernel parameters, words that you type in the same line in GRUB that you use to start the kernel | 18:52 |
| geodome | mmm.. | 18:52 |
| v4vijayakuma1 | recordmydesktop is great, but whats a window id? | 18:52 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, When you start your box, you end up in GRUB first, or not? | 18:53 |
| Izinucs | morningwalker: does that help? You can also do it in Gimp by opening the file then saving it in a format that you want. | 18:53 |
| morningwalker | lucax, while saving it as .jpg it seems that its not being recognised as .jpg itself | 18:53 |
| CarolinaSwamp | is there a way to use sftp to recursively download a directory and its subdirectories? | 18:53 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, yes, when I press escape. I guess this can be added in the menu.list under /boot/grub, right? | 18:54 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, yes, that's it. | 18:54 |
| v4vijayakuma1 | ether_c? | 18:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natalisushka You can try it by manually entering it once to see if it works rather than editing menu.lst | 18:54 |
| newt11 | how do I change the premisson to crwsrw----? and what does c stands for? | 18:55 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, I am not sure where exactly shall I add them. Can you please help me? I will post a pastebin of my menu.lst and you tell me on what line to do that | 18:55 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, can you? | 18:55 |
| CarolinaSwamp | ls | 18:55 |
| natalisushka | Jack_Sparrow, you mean edit it while booting? | 18:55 |
| jorrit | I'll quote my own kernel line: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=d782effa-5b35-45da-8e39-abc6b2320030 ro single" | 18:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natalisushka edit the line from the grub menu using E then E | 18:55 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, you just add the words nolapic noacpi after where I have "single" | 18:56 |
| natalisushka | Jack_Sparrow, got it. I just want now to save them commented in the menu.lst .. what must I type there? | 18:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | # 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 "--" | 18:56 |
| Slart | newt11: might be character device.. not sure though | 18:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natalisushka if it works.. then once you are up and running.. gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:56 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, I have many of them, must it be the one on the top? | 18:57 |
| jarlaxle | hi all!!! | 18:57 |
| jarlaxle | :) | 18:57 |
| Pretto | does anyone know how to make udev rules for a Sony Ericsson MD300 USB modem? | 18:57 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, if you choose the one on the top that will affect your default boot option. | 18:57 |
| venome | newt11: yes, 'c' stands for character device | 18:57 |
| jorrit | remember to make a backup first before you edit this important file, like cp menu.lst menu.lst.org | 18:57 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, so shouldn't I edit the one on top? | 18:58 |
| compengi | where does Trash folder located? | 18:58 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, You can, but make backup first. | 18:58 |
| Slart | !trash | compengi | 18:58 |
| ubottu | compengi: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 18:58 |
| compengi | oh | 18:58 |
| compengi | i didn't think it had a factoid :P | 18:58 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, I did | 18:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natalisushka cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 18:58 |
| Annirak | I'm having some problems getting gw working under wine. I have the most recent catalyst drivers installed, and I'm running wine 1.1.2. When I launch gw, my monitor changes video modes, but the graphics are jumbled. It looks like everything is rendering correctly, but blocks of the screen are being displayed in the wrong locations. A screenshot taken under gw shows the correct rendering. | 18:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Annirak /j #winehq | 18:59 |
| Slart | compengi: well.. that question is getting asked every now and then.. | 18:59 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, if you make a typo now, you can still fix it ;-) | 18:59 |
| jorrit | jorrit, go ahead and add the words nolapic and acpi=off | 18:59 |
| Annirak | Jack_Sparrow: I tried there first, but they're not very active. | 18:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Annirak understood, but that is the right place for answers on wine | 19:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Annirak none of the channels are likely to be as active as this one | 19:00 |
| compengi | Slart, well i was wondering how could a deleted file by root could went to Trash | 19:00 |
| compengi | weird | 19:00 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, , go ahead and add the words nolapic and acpi=off (Silly me, to address myself ^) | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all, I just wrenched out compiz and have no kwin decorators. I how can I get them back please? | 19:00 |
| Drk_Guy | Compiz seems to be eating my cpu, any ideas? | 19:01 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, so basically acpi=off is the same as noacpi, right? | 19:01 |
| compengi | Slart, thanks anyways ;) | 19:01 |
| aldipc | hi! | 19:01 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, yes, but the only correct option here is "acpi=off", just like Jack_Sparrow said. | 19:01 |
| Slart | compengi: you're welcome | 19:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | # 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 "--" noapic is NOT a typo on noacpi | 19:02 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, is this correct before I save: kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=441f5967-285f-4307-805e-95ceb6d0bde4 ro quiet splash nolapic acpi=off | 19:02 |
| natalisushka | ? | 19:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natalisushka looks good | 19:02 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, yes, go ahead and try to see if you have a more stable system now | 19:02 |
| aldipc | I have an ADSL modem/router with a wireless router attached to it. they use different address spaces. My ubuntu box is on the adsl address space and my windows pc on the wireless router address space.

| natalisushka | jorrit, ok, thanks but I'd like first to understand what these params will do? If I have an issue with my graphic card resulting in usb halting and logout issues, how can this help? | 19:04 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, Some power management features (acpi is a Power management feature) behave buggy on some chipsets that might include your own. | 19:05 |
| natalisushka | Also, I'd like to be advised what can I read to understand more about the kernel behavior and the way it works in linux in general and ubuntu in particular | 19:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natalisushka there are many many command boot modifiers.. noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, pci=nomsi | 19:05 |

| jorrit | extor, try ClamAV | 19:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | extor clamav | 19:08 |
| natalisushka | jorrit, Jack_Sparrow, one moment | 19:08 |
| venome | spydon: you should find the proper device from the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices on the target machine | 19:08 |
| airtonix | i notice tracker wont index ms doc format ...anyway i can get it start doing so? | 19:08 |
| extor | Jack_Sparrow, jorrit is ClamAV comparable to avast, ie about the same caliber? | 19:09 |
| jorrit | airtonix, did you read the manpages for tracker? | 19:09 |

| Vladimir[LV] | my server have 1 global ip | 19:09 |

| venome | spydon: well cane you put the part about the lid in the pastebin? | 19:10 |
| extor | Jack_Sparrow, so clamav as a plugin for email will work just as fine as avast would have, right? | 19:10 |
| howdy1234567890 | hmm | 19:10 |

| psicobra | have just plugged my external hard drive in it is ntfs and it hasn't auto mounted i know howto mount it but i just need to know how to find it i.e /dev/sdb1 | 19:13 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, that's plain vanilla Ubuntu 8.04, just like I have. You do have a high kernel number though, I use 2.6.24-19. How did you get that last kernel update? | 19:13 |
| psicobra | any one help | 19:14 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, please paste the output of this command: uname -a | 19:14 |

| airtonix | erichammond, there is on the ubunut wiki | 19:18 |
| erichammond | airtonix: Thanks, I don't even know what these devices are called to look it up. | 19:18 |
| jorrit | natalisushka, I can't tell really. If it's more stable after these parameters you at least know in which direction you need to search to solve your problem. | 19:18 |

| Pirate_Hunter | ZorbaTHut: do a clean install with a different disk | 19:21 |
| jorrit | Sake, You will get any error messages or warnings straight to your terminal that way. | 19:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pythoneles: which feature, sorry just came in and dont get your question | 19:21 |
| ZorbaTHut | pirate, I'd rather not clobber the existing system, I'd much rather just reinstall packages locally. it seems like it should be possible, I can do them one at a time, that's just kind of silly | 19:21 |
| Dragon | Help whenever i do sudo i get this error: sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1001, should be 0 | 19:22 |
| ZorbaTHut | it virtually all works fine, I just want to rewrite everything to be sure | 19:22 |
| jorrit | Sake, if you would like to browse them afterwards, just type: thunderbird 2>thunderbird.error & | 19:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 19:22 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 19:22 |
| jorrit | Sake, that will give you all the errors and warnings in that file. | 19:22 |
| praet | how can i turn off/on mouse keys from the console? is ti a gconf entry? | 19:22 |
| BunTai | whats new on ubuntu? | 19:22 |
| ZorbaTHut | I don't believe that will reinstall packages that already exist, though, will it? I mean, what I'm going for here is "find the existing package, re-extract everything" | 19:23 |
| Sake | jorrit, I do that and still get no errors though | 19:23 |
| pythoneles | Pirate_Hunter, like, if emesene is already opened, and i try to lauch it it will give me another instance of it, but on the contrary doing this on rhythbox for instance brings the already opened instance | 19:23 |

| hwilde_ | hello I need help with my .ssh config file - I need it to ssh to one server then ssh to another server. can I do this with ProxyCommand? | 19:23 |
| erichammond | airtonix: I don't have a card yet. I found that Sprint sells AirCard and T-Mobile sells GC89, but I'd like to research the general kind of things these are and their compatibility with Ubuntu. I'm looking for the name of what these are and perhaps a document which discusses them and Ubuntu. | 19:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZorbaTHut I know what you are looking to do, but it doesnt work that way | 19:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ZorbaTHut: oh sorry thought you said you had just done a clean install, yah just reinstall them again and see if that solves it otherwise purge the packages on unninstal and reinstall it again but you'll lose all your cuyreent config files | 19:23 |
| Sake | jorrit, and ps -e returns two processes: thunderbird and thunderbird-bin | 19:23 |
| jorrit | Sake, maybe there is a cmd-line parameter that shows more warnings than normal. There is bound to be a thunderbird channel right here on Freenode that might give you more specific info | 19:24 |
| ZorbaTHut | pirate, okay, so, back to my previous question: how can I reinstall all my packages? :P | 19:24 |
| Dragon | Help! When i use the sudo command i get this error, it just started doing this today, sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1001, should be 0 | 19:24 |
| ZorbaTHut | jack, how doesn't it work that way? I mean, there is "aptitude reinstall" already | 19:24 |
| airtonix | erichammond, when i said wiki i meant : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ | 19:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZorbaTHut You can only automate the supported packages, everything else you will need to do manually | 19:24 |

| Sake | jorrit, yea, I was just wondering if there was some general system log that it might be dumping errors to | 19:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pythoneles: i think that is how certain apps are programmed, you could download the source code for emesene and try to reprogram it :/ but good luck on that, ps - i have to add that i noticed things like that | 19:25 |
| ZorbaTHut | I'm fine with that, because if I'm not doing a clean reformat, I won't need to reinstall the new stuff (all of that seems fine) | 19:25 |
| ZorbaTHut | I want an easy way to reinstall all the existing packages on an existing Ubuntu system | 19:25 |
| airtonix | erichammond, i think that page detailing iBurst is similar to yours? | 19:25 |
| ZorbaTHut | aptitude reinstall seems to be able to do one at a time. how can I do all of them? | 19:25 |
| legend2440 | Dragon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691604 | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZorbaTHut I gave you that info a minute ago | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 19:25 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 19:25 |
| jorrit | Sake, normally it should dump any errors to standard_error that gets redirected to the file with 2>thunderbird.error | 19:25 |
| dmsuperman | Anybody know how I can install the xmlrpc-c package in ubuntu? | 19:25 |
| pythoneles | Pirate_Hunter, alright..tks | 19:25 |
| ZorbaTHut | jack, that appears to be for installing packages that are not installed on an existing system | 19:26 |
| ZorbaTHut | i.e. "here is the list of packages I used to have, clean reformat and install, get those packages on the new system" | 19:26 |
| Sake | jorrit, yea, I know that much. I just had read something about a System Message log a while back. Wondering if maybe that might help | 19:26 |
| Izinucs | !automate > Izinucs | 19:26 |
| ubottu | Izinucs, please see my private message | 19:26 |
| airtonix | erichammond, btw... conky also supposedly has access to wifi signal strength | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZorbaTHut read it carefully, easy enough to tell it to reinstall them | 19:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ZorbaTHut: youre asking for a lot the system is made like that, you're going to have to be patient and when i said reistall i did not know you didnt know how to reisntal packages also text are scrolling up very quicly on my screen sorry if im slow on replying | 19:26 |
| ZorbaTHut | I don't want to reformat, I just want to replace the existing packages. will that do it? 'cause in my experience, the "upgrade" commands won't do that | 19:26 |
| jorrit | Sake, there is no official thunderbird channel on Freenode. There is a mozilla channel, though. | 19:27 |
| ZorbaTHut | will "dselect-reinstall" do it? that's the closest thing I can think of from there | 19:27 |
| ZorbaTHut | note that I'm not reinstalling the entire OS, I merely want to re-extract packages on an existing one :P | 19:27 |
| airtonix | I really wish there was a way to get conky to sit underneath the icons nautilus paints ont it's desktop...is there way to do this? | 19:27 |
| morningwalker | can i trust this link... ive been waiting to get an internet connection for my home pc http://www.itech7.com/HOWTO/Setting-up-a-Internet-connection-in-ubuntu-for-a-static-IP-address. | 19:28 |
| hejux | hi everyone. after i mounted the windows partition to /media/c as root ,then i try to get in as other user , it said : permission denied , what can i do ? thanks | 19:28 |
| jorrit | Sake, strike that, mozilla seems to be an alias for firefox# (...Sigh...) | 19:28 |
| hejux | hello | 19:28 |
| morningwalker | hejux, probably u weren't sudo | 19:28 |
| jorrit | Sake, try running thunderbird in safe-mode, like so: thunderbird -safe-mode & | 19:29 |
| Izinucs | morningwalker: since the link responds with Error 404.. I'd say no. | 19:29 |
| cherico | wat does this mean: | 19:29 |
| cherico | After you have downloaded the file 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg#.run', | 19:29 |
| cherico | change to the directory containing the downloaded file, and as the 'root' user | 19:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ZorbaTHut: the easiest method to reinstall packages is through synaptic, just choose the package and right click choosing option reinstall but if they are corrupted i would advise you to purge the packages and config them again i.e sudo aptitude purge [package name] | 19:29 |
| morningwalker | which link? | 19:29 |
| hejux | well , i don't want to get in that dir with sudo , because i need a normal user to access that partition ... morningwalker | 19:29 |
| lucax | hejux: open nautilus as root, gksudo nautilus / and get to /media/c and right click on it change permission for users to see and change or whatever | 19:29 |
| Izinucs | morningwalker: the one you just provided.. and asked for info on. | 19:29 |
| morningwalker | Izinucs the link i gave u?? | 19:30 |
| Sake | jorrit, Hrmm, maybe it's displaying to the wrong X Session? How do I get the label for my current session? | 19:30 |
| Izinucs | morningwalker: the last link you posted above.. it wasn't addressed to anyone in particular. | 19:30 |
| hejux | ohh ... i am so sorry, i am at a text mode right now , i don't have gnome installed ... | 19:30 |
| Sake | jorrit, cause even in safe mode, it launches, process is listed, but it's not displayed anywhere | 19:30 |
| lucax | hejux: you need to open nautilus and change permissions so that other users regular users can see or read write in that folder... | 19:31 |
| ZorbaTHut | pirate, assume I want to reinstall all packages, not just single packages | 19:31 |
| hejux | lucax: i don't have nautilus ... i am under command line mode | 19:31 |
| morningwalker | hejux, please see my private message | 19:31 |
| jorrit | Sake, try removing thunderbird and reinstalling through the package manager, like sudo apt-get remove thunderbird && sudo ap-get install thunderbird | 19:31 |
| Slart | ZorbaTHut: what about using dpkg -l together with some bash magic.. | 19:31 |
| lucax | hejux: then i dont know... im not good with terminal | 19:32 |
| Bikerbob | Need help with a powerpc install - Xorg cant find a valid configuration, log shows it finding the video but not being able to setup a screen. | 19:32 |
| ZorbaTHut | slart, maybe. I don't know bash well enough to put that together, unfortunately | 19:32 |
| jorrit | Sake, this won't effect your e-mail, it will just reinstall your thunderbird | 19:32 |
| Bikerbob | found 8.04 does not contain the driver | 19:32 |
| Bikerbob | but I found this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/powerpc/xserver-xorg-video-mach64 | 19:32 |
| jorrit | Bikerbob, mach64? That's an oldie! | 19:33 |
| Bikerbob | so how do I install it.. and USE it.. | 19:33 |
| Bikerbob | yeah jorrit, but the driver was just updated 2 days ago | 19:33 |
| cherico | hellp | 19:33 |
| Bikerbob | go figure | 19:33 |
| cherico | how do u set something as root ? | 19:33 |
| jorrit | cherico, you can run things as root when you prefix them with sudo | 19:34 |
| Bikerbob | but my ppc version of 8.04 does not have it in its /sources | 19:34 |
| Odd-rationale | !sudo | cherico | 19:34 |
| ubottu | cherico: 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) | 19:34 |
| Slart | ZorbaTHut: ah.. think I found a solution.. start synaptic, click status, select installed.. ctrl+a, right click, select reinstall =) | 19:34 |
| Bikerbob | when I try and install with apt-get I get nothing found with that name | 19:34 |
| jorrit | !info kernel parameters | 19:34 |
| ubottu | 'parameters' is not a valid distribution | 19:34 |

| jorrit | lol | 19:34 |
| austin | hello can anyone help me i cant inabel special effects on my computer | 19:34 |
| csilk | austin, what grfx card you got? | 19:35 |
| Bikerbob | yes people I did try ubuntu-powerpc but the 6 people in there are all asleep | 19:35 |
| yem2 | What linux program should i use if i want to learn to C++ | 19:35 |
| ZorbaTHut | can you provide the same stuff with aptitude? it's a headless server box :) | 19:35 |
| erichammond | airtonix: Yes, the iBurst page seems to be the closest I can find too. I was hoping for something a bit more comprehensive (different cards) and current. Thank you. | 19:35 |
| cherico | After you have downloaded the file 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg#.run', | 19:35 |
| cherico | change to the directory containing the downloaded file, and as the 'root' user | 19:35 |
| austin | csilk, how can i check | 19:35 |
| csilk | yem2, you could just use a text editor to write C++ apps or you could down the eclipse IDE | 19:35 |
| csilk | austin, is it a laptop or desktop? | 19:36 |
| airtonix | erichammond, i did see a page for mobile phones... | 19:36 |
| csilk | in fact, that doesnt matter | 19:36 |
| csilk | go to restrcited drivers | 19:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ZorbaTHut: sorry back had to go downstairs quickly did you sort out your problem | 19:36 |
| yem2 | Which would you recommend csilk? | 19:36 |
| austin | csilk, laptop but it wont work for my desktop either | 19:36 |
| ZorbaTHut | pirate, not yet, I'm trying a few things | 19:36 |
| jorrit | Can anyone help me to get my midi detected on my VIA 8237 chipset? I'm running plain Ubuntu 8.04 | 19:36 |
| youareno6 | For an AMD64 system, how can I get the 32-bit version of libpcre.so.3? | 19:36 |
| csilk | yem2, I use eclipse to develope large bits of software, anything small and quick i tend to use a txt editor | 19:36 |
| jorrit | csilk, It hink yem2 wants a kind of a tutorial program | 19:37 |
| csilk | austin, what version of ubuntu | 19:37 |
| cherico | can someone help me update my driver ? | 19:37 |
| csilk | jorrit, oh.. those exist? | 19:37 |
| yem2 | so when i'm learning it, i should probably use a text editor?, also what program do i use to compile my scripts? | 19:37 |
| cherico | i cant use envy it doest work right | 19:37 |
| jorrit | csilk, I don't know, but I thnik that would be the most useful for you, or not? | 19:37 |
| hwilde_ | if "ssh -tt serverV ssh serverH" works from command line, why doesn't it work from .ssh/config ProxyCommand | 19:38 |
| austin | csilk, how do i chek that? i think 8.0 | 19:38 |
| DJBC | yem2, it's easier to use a text editor to write the actual program and then compile and run it from there | 19:38 |
| Sake | jorrit, thanks, trying it out | 19:38 |
| omac | yem2... google g++/gcc/boost how pdf | 19:38 |
| csilk | austin, ok.. go to system?administration>hardware drivers | 19:38 |
| erichammond | airtonix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/MobilePhone talks about one mobile phone. I actually have a connection working through a mobile phone, but I'd like to buy one of those dedicated cards and am not sure which ones would be the easiest to get working with Ubuntu. | 19:39 |
| csilk | ** system>administration>hardware drivers | 19:39 |
| jorrit | Sake, most of the times, reinstalling is much faster than tinkering with all kinds of settings ;-) | 19:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ZorbaTHut: ok than but have you tried to reinstall packages or purge them sorry youre going to them one by one | 19:39 |

| litel | Hi do somebody know a good music player, because rythmbox don't work and vlc don't have a play liste systeme or something close ... | 19:55 |
| csilk__ | m4fia, thats odd, deffinatly something wrong with your xorg configuration | 19:55 |
| valentinex1 | i got a secret file for ubuntu in .sh extension i want to install but how? | 19:55 |
| Flannel | cherico: Have you tried the restricted drivers manager? That's the best thing you can do. | 19:55 |
| case^ | cherico - there is a lot to take in | 19:55 |
| cherico | envy ? | 19:55 |
| Flannel | !nvidia | cherico | 19:55 |
| ubottu | cherico: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 19:55 |
| case^ | stick with it | 19:55 |
| Slart | litel: audacious is like winamp minus the music library stuff | 19:55 |
| === ichigo is now known as cads | ||
| Slart | litel: or amarok | 19:55 |
| csilk__ | cherico, dont use envy | 19:56 |
| Dragon | sudo still isn't working after those commands... | 19:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !envy | 19:56 |
| litel | Slart thx :) | 19:56 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 19:56 |
| Slart | !envyng | 19:56 |
| jorrit | cherico, You'll get used to it. Ubuntu can do so much, it can be intimidating at first. | 19:56 |
| Xecration | When I try to rename a folder "> rename php5.3-200809191630 php5.3-source" it throws the error "Bareword "php5" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1." How can I get around this? | 19:56 |
| m4fia | csilk__, i ran the xorg reconfigure | 19:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Slart: just wanted to find out what it was should made the bot show that to me privately | 19:56 |
| cherico | i tried envy it didnt go well so i uninstalled now i have nothing | 19:56 |
| cherico | and i cant enable my driver cuz i get the black screen everytime i restart | 19:57 |
| csilk__ | m4fia, honestly6, it will probably be quicker to re-insatll ubutnu than spend hours figuring out what part of xorg is screwing your system up | 19:57 |
| omac | Go to the nvidia web site. Get NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run | 19:57 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: you can pm the bot and use all commands there.. or > to send a factoid in pm, | to just tell them in channel | 19:57 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: those are just a few of the commands | 19:57 |
| cherico | i already have it | 19:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Slart: just realised after you tried to copy the command & phailed at it :x | 19:57 |
| Dragon | I'm getting the error sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1002, should be 0 | 19:58 |
| Dragon | whenever I use the sudo command | 19:58 |
| Slart | Xecration: rename? is that a command? usually you use "mv" to rename files.. | 19:58 |
| Flannel | cherico: and you've tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 19:58 |
| cherico | i had it before but it said it need to be set as root | 19:58 |
| omac | cherico, did you ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run? | 19:58 |
| Flannel | Dragon: Did you chown them in recovery console? | 19:58 |
| jorrit | cherico, try vga=771 on the kernel line in GRUB to see if that helps you. | 19:58 |
| csilk__ | austin, you still there? | 19:58 |
| Xecration | oh | 19:58 |
| SchneeSchwarz | Xecration: try mv instead of rename. man rename | 19:58 |
| Xecration | i always thought rename was used to change file names | 19:58 |
| Dragon | Flannel: yes didn't work | 19:58 |
| Slart | Xecration: rename is some kind of perl mass renaming thingy | 19:58 |
| Flannel | Dragon: what do you mean it didn't work? | 19:58 |
| austin | csilk, yep | 19:58 |
| === Hondo_Kitsune is now known as HK_Away | ||
| Xecration | thanks! brb ill give it a try | 19:58 |
| Dragon | Flannel: Well if it was supposed to fix the error it didn't | 19:58 |
| jorrit | cherico, vga=771 puts your graphics mode in safe-mode, without acceleration, but you might get a decent image that way. | 19:59 |
| Flannel | Dragon: alright, what does this give you: ls -l /etc/sudoers | 19:59 |
| === csilk__ is now known as csilk | ||
| Xecration | well apparently im a noob =P | 19:59 |
| Xecration | thx a ton that did the trick | 19:59 |
| Flannel | jorrit, cherico: That's not safe mode. that just adjusting your tty settings | 19:59 |

| jim_p | hi there | 20:00 |
| valentinex1 | how to make your ubuntu run faster by disabling some feautres? like it was in windows to turn graphics visual etc | 20:00 |
| Flannel | Dragon: alright. Pastebin this file please: /etc/passwd | 20:00 |
| ToHellWithGA | oops | 20:00 |
| jorrit | Flannel, well, it worked for me when first installing Ubuntu 8.04. The nv drivers gave me garbage, even on the plain command line, let alone X | 20:00 |
| Ickmund | If I get a sound when hitting 'Test' in the Sound options (under System), why on earth won't it play anything in say xbmc, vlc, mplayer or even aplay? | 20:01 |
| jim_p | valentinex1: turn off any unesecary services with sysvconfig, use a ligter windows manager | 20:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | valentinex1: by defualt graphic visual etc is turned off by defualt, depending on the system you installed it you might have to remove certain packages or even do a bare install of ubuntu | 20:01 |
| Bikerbob | what is the script I modify so that I can have items mounted @ boot? | 20:01 |
| bastid_raZor | Bikerbob; /etc/fstab and what things are you referring to? | 20:01 |
| chubs | Bikerbob, /etc/fstab and specify automount. not actually a script but a file that a script calls | 20:02 |
| jorrit | Ickmund, try selecting another sounddemon, like ALSA/eSound/OSS, you can do that from System -> preferences -> Sound | 20:02 |
| Slart | Bikerbob: etc/fstab is the normal way | 20:02 |
| Slart | !fstab | 20:02 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:02 |
| Bikerbob | I have some "other" partitions I want mounted so I dont have to do it every time I log on. | 20:02 |
| jorrit | !mtab | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mtab | 20:02 |
| Izinucs | Dragon: to make pasting easier.. install.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit .. then just cat /etc/sudoers | pastebinit and it will return a pastebin address to pass along. | 20:02 |
| austin | csilk, are you still there? | 20:02 |
| danny | Allo all | 20:02 |
| csilk | austin, yes | 20:02 |
| Flannel | Bikerbob: yes, that's fstab that you'll edit | 20:02 |
| jorrit | danny, hi | 20:02 |
| danny | Anyonnnne running two soundcards through Ubuntu? | 20:02 |
| Dragon | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m6a983f27 | 20:03 |
| Ickmund | jorrit: It's under System -> Preferences -> Sound that I get sound to start with. There and only there. :P And only using one of the options as well... | 20:03 |
| Macro_Zzz | Ickmund, make sure all volume settings are turned up (master, pcm, etc.) | 20:03 |
| Bikerbob | anyone know how to install a .deb by the command line? | 20:03 |
| omac | Ickmund, make sure your Sound System is running alsa. | 20:03 |
| Slart | danny: yes | 20:03 |
| chubs | Bikerbob, if they're already in /etc/fstab then you can add automount. if not you need to add them | 20:03 |
| austin | csilk, so what do i do about the thingy | 20:03 |
| Macro_Zzz | Ickmund, and make sure they arent muted | 20:03 |
| dreamnid | Bikerbob: "dpkg -i filename" | 20:03 |

| Bikerbob | ok | 20:03 |
| dreamnid | Bikerbob: sorry " sudo dpkg -i file" | 20:03 |
| Bikerbob | thaks | 20:03 |

| Ickmund | Macro_Zzz: Apart from that I can't find a mute option there, they're all maxed out | 20:04 |
| jorrit | Macro_Zzz, do you know anything about getting midi to work? | 20:04 |
| Flannel | Dragon: Well, you did something with groups to get it to stop working. Do you remember what it was? That'd make fixing it a lot nicer. | 20:04 |
| opt1k | what's a good alternative to adobe's dreamweaver for linux? | 20:04 |
| thorny_sun | is there a way to tar -xzvf blah.tar.gz to_dir ? i.e. put the contents somwehere else than the current dir? | 20:04 |

| Ickmund | omac: No sound when doing 'test' | 20:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Slart, Bikerbob: dpkg yes but if you want the dependencies to be sorted out for you than try sudo gdebi and [packagename] | 20:04 |
| Macro_Zzz | jorrit, no, never used midi before | 20:05 |
| valentinex1 | jim_p: Pirate_Hunter: thanks | 20:05 |
| opt1k | Flannel: ty | 20:05 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: isn't gdebi just a front for dkpg? | 20:05 |
| omac | jorrit, you need to ensure your system is using the sound card drivers for your sound card. | 20:05 |
| Dragon | Flannel no idea my groups looks fine to me i have nyself as admin and root thats it | 20:05 |
| Flannel | Slart: gdebi resolves depends | 20:05 |
| Xecration | How do you reamove a whole directory via terminal? "rm ThisDirectory" doesn't work | 20:05 |
| csilk | Xecration, rm -r | 20:05 |
| austin | csilk, under what syntaxhighlight? | 20:05 |
| Xecration | thx | 20:06 |
| jorrit | omac, you mean the kernel modules? I'll paste a lsmod for you, just a moment... | 20:06 |
| csilk | austin, doesnt matter what, plain text if possible | 20:06 |
| Flannel | Dragon: we know what the error is, we're just hoping we'd be able to figure out why it is what it is. | 20:06 |
| Slart | Flannel, Pirate_Hunter: ah.. didn't know that.. nice.. Thanks | 20:06 |

| Ickmund | I should perhaps state this is spdif... analog works fine | 20:06 |

| Tobias92 | Say, ubuntu people, has anybody got an ipod touch syncing with ubuntu? I'm considering to buy one, but I'll base my decision on whether it works with ubuntu | 20:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | slart: nah you can run that on shell/bash/terminal try it, it wont call the gui | 20:06 |
| austin | csilk, then what i copied it? | 20:06 |
| Dragon | Flannel: Yeah i understand but i honestly have no idea what i did to mess it up i don't remember touching my groups in ages | 20:07 |
| csilk | austin, paste it into pastebin then sne me the link | 20:07 |

| niche | What is the terminal command to copy a file from my home directory to another directory? | 20:07 |
| omac | jorrit, when you double click the speaker icon, it will display the name of the driver in the title bar. i.e. Volume Control: Sis ...blah blah. | 20:07 |
| austin | csilk, oh | 20:07 |
| fogobogo | niche: cp ? | 20:07 |
| niche | fogobogo, cp and then what? | 20:07 |

| csilk | austin, what laoptop you using? | 20:08 |
| Flannel | Dragon: alright. Lets see if this will work. reboot to the recovery console, and do this: usermod -g 0 root then chmod root:root /etc/sudoers | 20:09 |

| jorrit | omac, it show only these channels: Master, PCM, Lin-In, CD and Mic. I can select a lot of others though, but none like seq, or midi or so. | 20:09 |
| pman1 | Zeus: This is what I Don't understand. If I installed ubuntu differently than I thought, it still did everything automatically and said it would run with windows, why would it overwrite windows instead of creating a new partion or something. Since it said it would work with windows why would it ever basically reformat my hard drive and write over everything? | 20:09 |
| csilk | austin, yeah your grfx card is Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP | 20:09 |
| ainvar | this is a tablet with no mouse or keyboard | 20:09 |
| Flannel | Dragon: actually, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/group while you're at it? | 20:09 |

| Hiding-Bananas | niche, if you dont want to use terminal commands to do a lot of your work, type sudo nautilus and you can work as root from a graphic way | 20:11 |
| Dragon | Flannel: so is there an easy way to just change it to 0 | 20:12 |

| Bikerbob_ | do I enter the information just like I would on a mount command? type etc? | 20:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hiding-Bananas sudo nautilus is very dangerous... gksudo is much better | 20:12 |

| ainvar | I dig it, a little heavy but it is waterproof | 20:12 |
| sandsmark-away | thorny_sun: man tar, but I think it's "-c other/directory" | 20:12 |

| sandsmark-away | Macro_Zzz: slowass =p | 20:12 |
| Hiding-Bananas | Jack_Sparrow, and gksudo | 20:12 |
| ainvar | if you are looking for a nice one from them, check out the duo-touch II | 20:12 |
| Ickmund | No, I give up. It's analog stereo instead of surround until I can afford a proper htpc or I tire and go back to windows, whatever comes first :P | 20:12 |
| jorrit | pman1: I am, but not in a separate room, why? | 20:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ainvar: nice probably thats why the price is so high, water proof wow | 20:13 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 20:13 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:13 |
| Flannel | sandsmark-away: there is none | 20:13 |
| ganesh | SchneeSchwarz: its just a temporary fix..and still no title bar.. | 20:13 |

| omac | jorrit, cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat | 20:15 |
| linxeh | Bikerbob_: but with a filesystem type included in there ;-) | 20:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sandsmark-away: did you even read the link from obutu it exaplains why, dont do it but than it is your system | 20:15 |
| Macro_Zzz | Bikerbob, the format for adding to fstab is: <device> <mount point> <type> <options> | 20:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ABCme HOw much ram do you have, swap is seldom used on most boxes | 20:15 |
| sandsmark-away | Jack_Sparrow: sorry, it went right past me, it didn't highlight here, and there's a lot of noice | 20:15 |
| Seveas | yarr landlubbers ☠ | 20:15 |
| sandsmark-away | *noise | 20:15 |
| jorrit | omac, I will, just a sec | 20:15 |
| Flannel | sandsmark-away: gksu (and gksudo) sets up the environment more appropriately for a graphical program than sudo does. Using sudo can leave you unable to login (without fixing the issues it causes) | 20:15 |
| Pretto | i am wondering why my udev is creaating sequential devices when i plug/unplug my usb modem | 20:15 |
| Macro_Zzz | gah, im slow today | 20:15 |
| sandsmark-away | Flannel: what kind of issues? | 20:15 |
| Seveas | Pretto, because it's configured to do so :) | 20:15 |
| hanasakiRemote | what isa good opensource ubuntu package for hosting like cpanel but free | 20:16 |
| hanasakiRemote | ?? | 20:16 |
| sandsmark-away | Flannel: I'm interested, because I've never had any trouble with using sudo -i, and I can't think of any reasons it should break anything =) | 20:16 |
| Xecration | I have the latest stable MySQL installed but when I go to ./configure my php5.3 source it says that mysql is not available... how does this happen? | 20:16 |
| opt1k | Does anyone know what Quanta+ version is in the repos? | 20:16 |
| jorrit | omac, http://paste.ubuntu.com/48384/ | 20:16 |
| Pretto | Seveas, is there a way to make it fix in one device? | 20:16 |
| langz1 | Hi guys | 20:16 |
| SchneeSchwarz | ganesh: you could try to start firefox in safe-mode and see if that changes anything. firefox -safe-mode | 20:16 |
| Flannel | sandsmark-away: things in your homedir being owned by root. Also, sudo -i doesn't run a program, it opens a shell. | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sandsmark-away READ the link for psychocats | 20:16 |
| FFighter | how can I change the alt-tab app switching widget from showing sshots of the apps to simple icons? | 20:16 |
| Seveas | Pretto, most likely the old device isn't removed because the kernel isn't sending the appropriate signal to udev (in time) or because your modem identifies differently all the time | 20:16 |
| langz1 | Dont know if this topic will be covered here | 20:16 |
| ABCme | Jack_Sparrow: only 256 MB | 20:16 |
| Seveas | Pretto, google for 'udev debugging' or 'kevent monitoring' to find out more | 20:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | opt1k: why cant you check yourself it just a simple command such as apt-cache search/policy | 20:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ABCme ouch.. | 20:17 |
| Pretto | Seveas, I had to make my own rule to detect it correctly | 20:17 |
| opt1k | Pirate_Hunter: didn't know, ty for info | 20:17 |
| Seveas | Pretto, ah, option 3: buggy rule =) | 20:17 |
| eight | !gksudo > sandsmark-away | 20:17 |
| ubottu | sandsmark-away, please see my private message | 20:17 |
| jStefan | it seems NetworkManager 0.7 supports system wide wireless configs, but that's on intrepid. How can I achieve similar results on 8.04 ? | 20:17 |
| jorrit | omac, it shows that both Synth and Midi are not enabled in config, but I don't know how to configure ALSA so they will be configured correctly. I even asked on the ALSA channel... | 20:17 |
| langz1 | Got a problem with Ubuntus Point to Point internet connection | 20:17 |
| Dragon | Flannel: I did the command still get the same error | 20:17 |
| Seveas | jStefan, not. | 20:17 |
| ABCme | Jack_Sparrow: haha yeah...or maybe i should switch to a lighter distro if there are any | 20:17 |
| langz1 | can anyone help | 20:17 |
| Dragon | Flannel: sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1002, should be 0 | 20:17 |
| Pretto | hahha.. Seveas, it could be a bug rule, since i dont know much about it | 20:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ABCme xubuntu is a bit lighter | 20:17 |
| jorrit | langz1, just ask your question | 20:18 |
| Seveas | jStefan, (well, there is a way, involving voodoo with /etc/network/interfaces) | 20:18 |
| Flannel | Dragon: Ok, Just take a peek in /etc/group is the root group now 0 instead of 1002? | 20:18 |
| ABCme | Jack_Sparrow: ok. but how do i get my swap on? | 20:18 |
| Aska | A | 20:18 |
| jStefan | Seveas, would a live CD session of alpha6 give me hints on what the config should look like for 8.04? | 20:18 |
| fogobogo | langz1: you mean you have trouble using torrent for adult movies? | 20:18 |
| jorrit | ABCme, try swapon | 20:18 |
| langz1 | Ok well I am already connected to the net. I want to create another dial up PPPOE connection | 20:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ABCme gparted has that option, I dont know how to do it manually | 20:18 |
| pman1 | Jorrit: Is it common for ubuntu to just overwrite every single file in my C drive when I install it? Becuase that is what it must have done. Why would it not have just created a new partion. Or better yet done what it said and worked with Windows. Do you think I can contact the organization or some paid support and get some help to find my windows files? | 20:18 |
| Seveas | langz1, ppp connections will be much better supported in 8.10. I know that's probably a useless answer for you right now but it gives you something to look forward to ;) | 20:19 |
| Bikerbob_ | so how does this look "/dev/sda5<tab>/mnt/mac<tab>hfs<tab>defaults<tab>0<tab>0" | 20:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ABCme: if you want your system to be faster remove system packages, try a lighter windows manager (WM) such as icewm, JWM or if you really want control of what is in your system do a bare minimum install | 20:19 |
| ABCme | jorrit: nothing happens | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 20:19 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:19 |
| Seveas | jStefan, not at all. 'man interfaces' may help and the documentation of the wpasupplicant package. | 20:19 |
| langz1 | so currently that option is not available | 20:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jorrit: dont think swap will help much maybe make somewhat a difference | 20:19 |
| langz1 | ? | 20:19 |
| badfish | is there a way to comb a directory and it's subdirectories and delete every instance of desktop.ini? or do i have to do it one by one? | 20:19 |
| Dragon | Flannel: I think so if this means yes then well yes root:x:0: | 20:19 |
| jStefan | Seveas, i'll look into that, other option seems to be auto-login :S | 20:19 |
| Seveas | jStefan, but upgrading to 8.10 alpha isn't too scary either :) | 20:19 |
| jStefan | Seveas, thanks | 20:19 |
| gwash | badfish: man find | 20:20 |
| jorrit | pman1, I'm not really sure if Ubuntu did that...remember the message from Zeus? "I wonder where sda3 and sda4 went..." | 20:20 |
| langz1 | and no fogo I dont want to download adult movies | 20:20 |
| Bikerbob_ | anyone see it? | 20:20 |
| jStefan | Seveas, this is a system i could benefit from LTS, as I dont want to touch it in a long time ;) | 20:20 |
| Seveas | gwash, now what if man can't find the manpage of find. Would one use find to tell man where to find the manpage for find? :) | 20:20 |
| pman1 | jorrit: yes what did that mean? | 20:20 |
| Seveas | jStefan, ok :) | 20:20 |
| Flannel | Dragon: alright, so we've fixed that. Now, /etc/passwd still has (on the first line) x:0:1002: right? | 20:20 |
| Hiding-Bananas | ok because every one is asking questions i have to ask too, how do i delete my history in the terminal | 20:20 |
| omac | jorrit, aconnect -i | 20:20 |
| Ockonal | Hi, i've a problem with internet and Linux. I have adsl internet and modem in bridge-mode, tried this: pppoeconf; pon dsl-provider, but it didn't work! It wrote something about timeout and session expiried. But in windows it's all good. Help, please | 20:20 |
| fogobogo | langz1: why not? theres not much gaming on bubuntu | 20:20 |
| omac | http://www.geocities.jp/midi_organ_net/alsa/ | 20:20 |
| dmsuperman | I'm having an issue with permissions. In short: a folder that I SHOULD be able to enter I'm denied permismsions to (I can't even cd into it) Here is relevant information: http://pastebin.com/d17572a57 | 20:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Seveas: dont suggest people to update to 8.10 please unless they want to test it insinde a VM | 20:21 |
| Bikerbob_ | so how does this look for an fstab entry "/dev/sda5<tab>/mnt/mac<tab>hfs<tab>defaults<tab>0<tab>0" | 20:21 |
| dmsuperman | And I have run fsck, just this morning, but I've had this problem for a good while | 20:21 |
| dooglus | badfish: find . -name desktop.ini -exec rm {} ';' | 20:21 |
| gwash | Seveas: you lost me there | 20:21 |
| Dragon | Flannel: root:x:0:1002:root:/root:/bin/bash | 20:21 |
| omac | jorrit that url was "ALSA MIDI Tips" | 20:21 |
| Seveas | gwash, heh, excellent response :) | 20:21 |
| jorrit | omac, http://paste.ubuntu.com/48388/ | 20:21 |
| langz1 | Well..... I still got windows for the gaming side...... | 20:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Hiding-Bananas: there should a be a file in you home called bash.history or something like that, delete it | 20:21 |
| langz1 | What you don't have windows at all? | 20:22 |
| Seveas | dmsuperman, you need the execute permission on a folder to enter it (chmod +x) | 20:22 |
| jorrit | omac, thanks for the link! | 20:22 |
| Hiding-Bananas | Pirate_Hunter, ok thanks | 20:22 |
| gwash | Seveas: thanks | 20:22 |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, Hiding-Bananas .bash_history :) | 20:22 |
| dmsuperman | Seveas: So then do I want 0755? | 20:22 |
| pibe | hello, how can i close my X's ? | 20:22 |
| badfish | find: missing argument to `-exec' | 20:22 |
| Dragon | Flannel: So yeah it hasn't changed | 20:22 |
| Seveas | dmsuperman, 0777 if you want to keep everyone-can-write which you have now | 20:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pibe: command exit should do the trick | 20:23 |
| Mion | badfish: -exec foo {} ;\ | 20:23 |
| pibe | i am going to install nvidia drivers and i need to close X | 20:23 |
| gwash | badfish: just use -delete | 20:23 |
| Ockonal | any ideas? | 20:23 |
| pibe | Pirate_Hunter: let me try | 20:23 |
| dooglus | badfish: copy paste better? | 20:23 |
| Seveas | Mion, badfish escape or quote the {} and ; | 20:23 |
| Flannel | Dragon: alright, back to recovery console: usermod -g root root then chown root:root /etc/sudoers | 20:23 |
| dmsuperman | Seveas: I don't, I was just trying to get it to work | 20:23 |
| jorrit | pman1, It *might* mean that there are still two partittions that fdisk -l does not show, possibly Windows partitions. But don't get your hopes up yet... | 20:23 |
| Seveas | dmsuperman, 755 it is then | 20:23 |
| Mion | er.. \; | 20:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pibe: oh hmm forget what i said try killx | 20:23 |
| dmsuperman | Seveas: Thanks :D | 20:24 |
| badfish | find: ./.gvfs: Permission denied | 20:24 |
| jorrit | omac, Thanks for all the help! I'll try those tips now (they even have tips on how to enable the MIDI/ Game port SweEet! ) | 20:24 |
| omac | jorrit, google is your friend. | 20:24 |
| gwash | badfish: use sudo if you don't have permission | 20:24 |
| badfish | that's with sudo | 20:24 |
| badfish | logan@logan-desktop:~$ sudo find . -name desktop.ini -exec rm '{}' ';' | 20:25 |
| badfish | find: ./.gvfs: Permission denied | 20:25 |
| pibe | Pirate_Hunter: killx? it does not work | 20:25 |
| queck | Hello | 20:25 |
| dooglus | badfish: that's ok. It just couldn't get into that dir. It got into all the others. | 20:25 |
| Mion | Seveas: don't need to quote the {} | 20:25 |
| jorrit | omac, Seriously I tried to google for that, but this link did not show. | 20:25 |
| Seveas | gwash, sudo doesn't help if the kernel doesn't like you | 20:25 |
| sandsmark-away | xkill works | 20:25 |
| omac | jorrit, google alsa source compile midi enabled | 20:25 |
| badfish | ah yes it did | 20:25 |
| badfish | ty | 20:25 |
| sandsmark-away | or ctrl+alt+escape in KDE | 20:25 |
| niche | Ok one more questions... How do I copy the file ./small/1st to ./big while renaming the copied file to "1stcopy" ? | 20:25 |
| Mion | Seveas: {} inserts the filename in a protected way already | 20:25 |
| pan_ | what does xkill do | 20:25 |
| omac | You should be running alsa. | 20:25 |
| sandsmark-away | pan_: kills applications | 20:25 |
| pan_ | oh | 20:25 |
| Seveas | gwash, badfish: .gvfs is the fuse mount for gvfs. only the user who owns it can search there | 20:25 |
| Mion | but the ; needs to be escaped :) | 20:25 |
| csilk | austin, grep -i Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:25 |

| fogobogo | niche: cp and mv | 20:25 |
| gwash | badfish: what command did you use | 20:25 |
| Seveas | Mion, but the shell will interpret the {} before it reaches find :) | 20:25 |
| dooglus | badfish: welcome. | 20:25 |
| pibe | omg | 20:25 |
| pibe | Pirate_Hunter: what window do i have to select | 20:26 |
| Mion | Seveas: [oh@Alice][~/test]%find . -name *.pdf -exec echo {} \; -> ./sykkelkart.pdf | 20:26 |
| jorrit | omac, sometimes it's difficult to know what exact terms you need to search for ;-) Thxs again! | 20:26 |
| queck | how could I convert a group of pictures into a avi? I extracted them as pictures before (needed for vjing) | 20:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pibe: are you just trying to install nvidia driver but without x you could always log out from you current session and go to a different session using ctrl+alt+ f1-f6 | 20:26 |
| pibe | because i press ctrl alt f1 | 20:26 |
| GSH | Hey folks. I'm trying to install ubuntu server 8.04. While installing, it used DHCP fine as far as I can tell. After reboot, it can't find the network. Running ifconfig shows *large* numbers for dropped on eth0, e.g., dropped:4294967293 | 20:26 |
| pibe | Pirate_Hunter: yes, but i need to close my X | 20:26 |
| Seveas | Mion, interesting... this thing has been stored in my memory for so long and it's apparently wrong :) | 20:26 |
| GSH | Each time I run ifconfig, the dropped value reduces by 1 | 20:26 |
| dooglus | Seveas: try it. no need to quote | 20:26 |
| Seveas | maybe an old shell from ye olde yoonix did it :) | 20:27 |

| GSH | Hey folks. I'm trying to install ubuntu server 8.04. While installing, it used DHCP fine as far as I can tell. After reboot, it can't find the network. Running ifconfig shows *large* numbers for dropped on eth0, e.g., dropped:4294967293. It can't get DHCP | 20:36 |
| noob09 | I have a screenshot of gparted with all the info | 20:36 |
| fogobogo | noob09: congrats | 20:36 |
| babaklinux | omac: i readed it but can't find any usefull | 20:37 |

| omac | GSH, click applications->accessories->terminal...sudo bash...dhclient. | 20:37 |
| Seveas | GSH, does sudo mii-diag tell you that you have link? | 20:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flannel, Bikerbob_: the best irc is what does the job for you xchat is good and easy just like mirc on windows but if you lack on system resources than a terminal app like irssi could be what you want | 20:37 |
| Seveas | omac, 'sudo bash' is bad. Better use 'sudo -i' | 20:37 |
| Bikerbob_ | xchat is not commant line is it? | 20:37 |
| fogobogo | noob09: thanks but no thanks. i rather enjoy some pictures for adults | 20:37 |
| nerfquark | no | 20:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Bikerbob_: no that gui | 20:37 |
| omac | ok Seveas, sorry for giving bad habits. | 20:37 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, there's xchat-text | 20:37 |
| kryptonite | gui | 20:37 |
| fogobogo | Bikerbob_: no its not. hence the X in front | 20:38 |
| GSH | omac - If I run dhclient, I get a lot of DHCPDISCOVER attempts, then it gives up | 20:38 |
| Bikerbob_ | ok.. well I was asking for a command line irc client | 20:38 |

| Flannel | Seveas: bitchX isn't in Ubuntu | 20:38 |
| carbuntu | ubottu: ty looking at that too | 20:38 |
| GSH | omac - I think that it's misconfigured my eth0 -- the dropped value is REALLY high when I type ifconfig | 20:38 |
| fogobogo | noob09: thanks for the hint. btw there any reason you made a screenshot? | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | carbuntu: yes, run it with gksu ndisgtk | 20:39 |
| Seveas | Flannel, ah? Since when? (Haven't used it in aaaaaaaaaages) | 20:39 |
| noob09 | yes, since it has all the info and describes the problem perfectly | 20:39 |
| Bikerbob_ | how do you unintall something from the command ine? | 20:39 |
| omac | GSH, then you arent' connected to anything with a cable. | 20:39 |
| Macro_Zzz | Bikerbob_, sudo apt-get remove <packlage> | 20:39 |
| Flannel | Seveas: Dapper is the last place with it. Its dropped due to its lovely security holes. | 20:39 |

| lawi_ | Hi guys. Anyone gotten Toshiba A205-S804 wireless working? I've followed all guides I could get my hands on and the wlan0 is on but says "no wirelss networks found" iwlist scan retuns nothing. The card is rtl8187b | 20:39 |
| Bikerbob_ | okahh | 20:39 |
| fogobogo | noob09: whicch is? | 20:39 |
| Xecration | Do any of you pros know where i can find my apache configuration file so i can link it to php 5.3? | 20:40 |
| noob09 | is gparted with disk usage analyzer... and in the analyzer it shows I am using only a couple of gigs... and in gparted it says i am using 150gigs O_O | 20:40 |
| GSH | omac - as I noted, while installing server 8.04 from CD, it could use dhcp correctly. After reboot, it can't connect. I've tried multiple ethernet cables, and all the cables work fine on a different box | 20:40 |
| Macro_Zzz | gwash, heh | 20:40 |
| Seveas | Flannel, I still see it in gutsy | 20:40 |
| Flannel | Xecration: just install libapache2-mod-php5 | 20:40 |
| Seveas | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ircii-pana | 20:40 |
| fogobogo | noob09: there seems to be problem then | 20:40 |
| Xecration | its linked to my old php version tho | 20:40 |
| fogobogo | noob09: open a terminal | 20:40 |
| noob09 | ok | 20:40 |
| fogobogo | noob09: type df -h | 20:40 |
| Flannel | Seveas: Hmm, interesting. p.u.c is being confusing. | 20:40 |
| Macro_Zzz | gwash, maybe u should make a symlink with that name | 20:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Bikerbob_: command remove only unninstall the package but leaves the config files chanhe remove to purge if you want the config files/folders to be removed, that is if you're sure you wont install the ap again | 20:40 |
| noob09 | done | 20:41 |
| Flannel | Seveas: yeah, I guess it is in gutsy. But the rest still stands. | 20:41 |
| gwash | Macro_Zzz: a bash alias | 20:41 |
| fogobogo | noob09: so whats there now? | 20:41 |
| GSH | omac - I didn't change the ethernet cable from initial install to reboot. I suspect it's misconfigured what my eth0 device is | 20:41 |
| Seveas | Flannel, yeah. It's a security nightmare :) | 20:41 |
| omac | babaklinux, how are you doing? Have you added the line 'deb http://parsix.org/packages ramon main' to your /etc/apt/sources.list yet. | 20:41 |
| q0s | hey guys, i have a server without a monitor connected to. and i can't get a higher resolution than 640x480. does somebody know how to fix this? | 20:41 |
| noob09 | funny, sda4 has only 4.7 capacity | 20:41 |
| noob09 | 4.7gigs i mean | 20:41 |
| babaklinux | omac: this is for parsix etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://parsix.org/packages ramon main no ubuntu | 20:41 |
| omac | GSH, ifconfig eth0 down | 20:41 |
| omac | GSH, dhclient | 20:41 |
| gwash | noob09: i fail to see the humor in that | 20:41 |
| noob09 | but in gparted it says I have 140gigs capacity | 20:41 |
| Xecration | @Flannel: the current apache install is linked to my old php 5.2.x install which is still installed how do i configure it to my new php5.3? | 20:41 |
| noob09 | thats why its funny | 20:42 |
| Macro_Zzz | gwash, its the sad kind of funny :( | 20:42 |
| omac | GSH, if you have a router with the internet configuration already setup, it should find it automatically. | 20:42 |
| Flannel | Xecration: why do you need php 5.3? | 20:42 |
| GSH | omac - ran 'ifconfig eth0 down'. No output | 20:42 |
| gwash | noob09: your probably reading something wrong | 20:42 |
| carbuntu | ActionParsnip i get 2 errors (network-admin:8539): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkComboBox.items, (network-admin:8539): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '8539' | 20:42 |
| dmsuperman | Would it be a correct assumption to say that +x on a directory is both permissions to change permission on that directory and to enter it? A folder has 0666 permissions and I can't chmod it without using sudo | 20:42 |
| noob09 | i have a screenshot look: | 20:42 |
| omac | GSH, that's right. | 20:43 |
| Xecration | I'm rewriting my php applications to take advantage of php5.3s new features as well as learning to use php phar | 20:43 |
| noob09 | http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/341/screenshotld9.jpg | 20:43 |
| GSH | omac - *while installing 8.04 server from CD*, it could use DHCP. It cannot do that after rebooting | 20:43 |
| omac | GSH, ifconfig with nothing after it. | 20:43 |
| carbuntu | the box comes up but greyed out | 20:43 |
| omac | GSH, what do you see? | 20:43 |
| Xecration | i could do it on windows but i want to get back into ubuntu, i like it =) | 20:43 |
| gwash | noob09: that's a pretty nasty looking hdd | 20:44 |
| GSH | omac - running 'ifconfig' w/ no params gives me a lot, including "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST" Then, for dropped, it says 4294967286 | 20:44 |
| noob09 | im saving an additional 50 gigs for Fedora | 20:44 |
| Seveas | dmsuperman, only the owner of a directory can change permission. +x is only for giving permission to enter | 20:44 |
| Flannel | Xecration: You'll have to build php5.3 yourself, yadda yadda. Since, it's not even stable yet (or close to it), and as such, will not be in Ubuntu. | 20:44 |
| Xecration | its already built and i used checkinstall to install it into packge manager | 20:44 |
| noob09 | though, i think ill just make a /home partition | 20:44 |
| Xecration | thats not the issue tho | 20:44 |
| GSH | omac - I can't copy & paste to here because I'm on a separate machine to here. Any other params to look for in that output block? | 20:44 |
| Seveas | ugh, checkinstall | 20:44 |
| pan_ | anyone know how use shortcut keys in xchat to toggle between channels? | 20:44 |
| Xecration | i want apache to use 5.3 instead of 5.2.x | 20:45 |
| noob09 | but thats not the point... do u know whats going on? | 20:45 |
| CorbinFox | pan: in pidgin it is CTRL + Tab, try that? | 20:45 |
| Seveas | Xecration, please don't ask us for support anymore with that. You broke it yourself, you get to keep the pieces :) | 20:45 |
| Flannel | Xecration: /etc/apache2/ is the apache config stuffs. In /etc/apache2/mods-available/ is where you'll put your module, and then symlink it to mods-enabled | 20:45 |
| pan_ | ctrl+tab dont work | 20:45 |
| Xecration | there we go thats all i needed to kno =P | 20:45 |
| pan_ | ctrl+tab i know works for firefox | 20:45 |
| lawi_ | toshiba wireless? Anyone? | 20:45 |
| fogobogo | pan_: thats unfortunate. well we tried our best | 20:46 |
| omac | babaklinux, please understand .deb files are debian based files. The ubuntu is debian based also. You may use this repository for installing xfardic. It may have conflicts, but I read somewhere that others have succeeded in installing xfardic on ubuntu. | 20:46 |
| pan_ | aight | 20:46 |

| pan_ | rtfm? | 20:46 |
| fogobogo | pan_: also alt + number | 20:46 |

| hanasakiRemote | What are the good options for vpn's for ubuntu that also have windows clients? | 20:46 |
| omac | GSH, tell me what you see for eth0 and for ppp0. | 20:46 |
| Seveas | hanasakiRemote, openvpn | 20:47 |
| digitalfiz | lol | 20:47 |
| noob09 | gwash, fogobogo, any suggestions? | 20:47 |
| hanasakiRemote | Sevea that the same as swan? | 20:47 |
| GSH | omac - there is no ppp0, only eth0 and lo. I'll have to retype this as best and as quickly as I can | 20:47 |
| fogobogo | noob09: well one number is the right one | 20:47 |
| Seveas | hanasakiRemote, no, openvpn is an SSL vpn, freeswan/openswan are IPSEC | 20:47 |
| noob09 | yes... | 20:47 |
| GSH | omac - eth0 link encap: ethernet. HWaddr: 00:1c:c0:6e:b5:6d | 20:47 |
| omac | GSH, good. There shouldn't be a ppp0. I was just checking to see if you were running another ppp client. | 20:47 |
| gwash | noob09: one of these apps is wrong, you should know which | 20:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how do i make FF accept backspace to return to previous page, i have no clue why they took that function off | 20:48 |
| GSH | omac: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | 20:48 |
| omac | GSH, any ip address associated to it? | 20:48 |
| Seveas | hanasakiRemote, an ssl vpn like openvpn is easiest to get working through home routers with NAT and other firewall-ish equipment | 20:48 |
| omac | GSH, to the eth0 device I mean. | 20:48 |
| GSH | omac: RC packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4294967286 overruns 0 frame 0 | 20:48 |
| GSH | omac - no IP addrs seen | 20:48 |
| hanasakiRemote | Seveas: what's the pro/con of ipsec vs ssl I thought | 20:48 |
| GSH | omac: TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:28 overruns:0 carrier:0 | 20:49 |
| GSH | omac: collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 | 20:49 |

| GSH | omax: RX bytes:0 (0.0B) TX bytes:0 (0.0B) | 20:49 |
| omac | GSH, is this eth0 connected to a router? | 20:49 |
| sloggerkhan | hi guys | 20:49 |
| GSH | omac - interrupt:220 base address:0x4000 | 20:49 |
| JakeDust | My friend is running a 7.10, but the network icon disappeared | 20:49 |
| Seveas | hanasakiRemote, an ipsec vpn is more "natural", more the way networks should work. An ssl vpn is easier to set up and can generally do more tricks :) | 20:50 |
| JakeDust | I just need that NetworkManager icon back to the bar. | 20:50 |
| GSH | omac - yes. The cable goes to a router here. *Everything worked* when installing 8.04 server from CD. After reboot, nothing works | 20:50 |
| === J-n_ is now known as J-n | ||
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: there is a setting somewhere.. about:config probably.. can't remember what it was called though | 20:50 |
| Seveas | JakeDust, run the nm-applet command | 20:50 |
| GSH | omac - I've tried switching the cable into this laptop that's running, and it works. | 20:50 |
| Seveas | if it still doesn't appear: add the 'notification area' back to your panel | 20:50 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: perhaps browser.backspace_action | 20:51 |
| omac | GSH, show me your ifconfig. Do you have an ip address? | 20:51 |
| JakeDust | Seveas: Okay, I ran it in a normal terminal, it just hangs without returning anything | 20:51 |
| GSH | omac: I retyped my ifconfig as best as I could above. No IP address | 20:51 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action | 20:51 |

| Bikerbob_ | OK so I removed the pkg and now I have figured out I want it again.. but it is not in the repositories.. lol | 20:55 |
| GSH | omac - man dhcdbd has no manual entry | 20:56 |
| carbuntu | can that be the reason for no wireless | 20:56 |
| gwash | Bikerbob_: get the source and build it yourself | 20:56 |
| omac | GSH, get the documentation then. | 20:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | where is the trash folder located? | 20:56 |

| Seveas | largehadron, 'man tee' for the full story on it. Do 'sudo apt-get install moreutils' and 'man pee' for an alternative that can pipe text to a process and display it on screen | 21:02 |
| gwash | Hondo_Kitsune: Switch to FVWM-CRYSTAL! | 21:02 |
| gwash | how does that feel? | 21:02 |

| Pirate_Hunter | what is the point of rox-filer when i cant even identify how to go to my trash and this file manager is supposed to make my life easier :/ | 21:02 |
| warren_ | hi | 21:03 |
| omac | jorrit, did you compile alsa with midi enable from the sources? | 21:03 |
| babaklinux | omac: did you install it from synaptics ? | 21:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Hondo_Kitsune: hmmm nah there is a point why i aint using nautilus or ubuntudesktop | 21:03 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Pirate_Hunter: Type trash:/// into the address bar of Nautilus, or whatever file manager you are using. that may work | 21:03 |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, ah rox-filer... that probably doesn't use trash or at least not the standard location. Maybe people in #xubuntu know | 21:03 |
| jorrit | omac, no not yet, as my box is quite old and it takes some time for it to finish compiling... | 21:03 |
| omac | babaklinux, no. I am not running farsi language stuff. | 21:03 |
| gwash | Pirate_Hunter: it probably doesn't even use trash | 21:04 |
| Bikerbob_ | So the long and the short of all this .. is I have a computer that I need to use the ATI driver for.. how do I modify the Xconf to use it? | 21:04 |
| Funkah | Trash is trash! Permanent deletion!! Deletionists arise! | 21:04 |
| yem2 | What word processor do i use to write C++ script? | 21:04 |
| opt1k | this question might be a bit odd, but can I provide shell access to my computer over a web site and how? | 21:04 |
| omac | I am simply trying to step you through how to use the commands to install new packages since you didn't know how. | 21:04 |
| Seveas | !ati | Bikerbob_ | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Bikerbob_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:04 |
| gwash | yem2: you don't | 21:04 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, short version: system -> administration -> hardware drivers. Click the right buttons | 21:04 |
| Funkah | yem2: gedit can do that. If you go into view > highlight > sources, you can select C+ and it'll highlight the code like in an environment. Although it's more of a text editor than a word processor. | 21:05 |
| jorrit | opt1k, You can use any editor, but I recommend vim or emacs if you want to get into serious programming. | 21:05 |
| omac | yem2, emacs rocks. | 21:05 |
| babaklinux | omac: now do i have to insert this line deb http://parsix.org/packages ramon main to sources.list ?? | 21:05 |
| fogobogo | yem2: not openoffice. thats for sure | 21:05 |
| largehadron | funkah -> you know what annoys me? i delete a file from an SD card, and a HIDDEN .trash directory is created... GRRRRRR!!! | 21:05 |
| jorrit | fogobogo, lol | 21:05 |
| Funkah | largehadron: That is so.... microsoft. | 21:05 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | opt1k: enable SSH and forward the ports, then use PUTTY at a remote location. That is all i can think of atm | 21:05 |
| omac | babaklinux, for the third time telling you...YES!!! | 21:05 |
| Bikerbob_ | I am in command line Seveas I cant get X to work | 21:05 |
| opt1k | jorrit: got any good tuts on that topic? | 21:05 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | largehadron: Isn't that MacOS :P | 21:05 |
| largehadron | so i end up deleting the .trash folder as well. | 21:05 |
| largehadron | no - its Gnome! | 21:06 |
| Funkah | Does the .trash go into .trash.trash? | 21:06 |
| opt1k | Hondo_Kitsune: is there some java telnet client that i could incorporate into my website? | 21:06 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, ah. Then read that wikipage (on another pc), it has more ingo | 21:06 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | largehadron: Never had that problem | 21:06 |
| largehadron | maybe theres an option to switch that off... | 21:06 |
| Seveas | Funkah, trash fractal. .trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash.trash | 21:06 |
| jorrit | opt1k, Are you familiar with scheme? If so, choose emacs. Vim is present on every unix system, | 21:06 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | opt1k: what jorrit said :P I just know about basic SSH | 21:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ahhh forget it i'll just get it when i log into gnome whenever that is or decide to install thunar | 21:06 |
| opt1k | jorrit: not quite =( heh, guess i'll have to learn it then :D | 21:07 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Pirate_Hunter: I'd reccomend Nautilus over Thunar | 21:07 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Pirate_Hunter: I used Thunar back when i used XFCE, awquard and nasty | 21:07 |
| fogobogo | thuna tastes better! | 21:07 |
| opt1k | Hondo_Kitsune: hehe kk | 21:07 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Pirate_Hunter: Nautilus or Konqueror | 21:07 |
| Seveas | jorrit, 'vi' is present everywhere, 'vim' not :) | 21:07 |
| yem2 | See the thing is, I have no idea how to write C++ so i'm just looking for a program that will let my write script (pratice) and compile it fairly quick after so i can see my results | 21:07 |
| Bikerbob_ | thanks anyway Seveas but its the ATI driver.. not any of the restricted.. we are talkinga bout a 15 year old card. | 21:07 |
| yem2 | so which notepad like program is there on linux to do that with | 21:08 |
| fogobogo | yem2: geany | 21:08 |
| Seveas | jorrit, most notably: ubuntu, fedora, red hat and centos do not install a full vim by default :) | 21:08 |
| yem2 | ok thx man | 21:08 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bikerbob_: Legacy drivers? | 21:08 |
| opt1k | yem2: gedit | 21:08 |
| Bikerbob_ | nope.. good old ATI.. thats the name of the driver.. I just need to get it to work | 21:08 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | yem2: or Kate in KDE | 21:08 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bikerbob_: I meant, use ATI-Legacy drivers | 21:08 |
| mridul | rr | 21:09 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, hmm -- that should really work ootb then. Strange. Just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver stanza in the Device section to ati | 21:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Hondo_Kitsune: i have nautilus but it dont work well with other wm :/ and the whole dont show desktop in menuconf is annoying when you have to go back to it | 21:09 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | they should be available in the Package manager | 21:09 |
| jedimindtrick | is it safe to hibernate / suspend in ubuntu yet? | 21:09 |
| jedimindtrick | every time i try, i can never get it to come back to life | 21:09 |
| fogobogo | jedimindtrick: use the force and find out | 21:09 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Pirate_Hunter: Try Konqueror then, it is a bit like Windoze Explorer | 21:09 |
| Bikerbob_ | OK.. thats my point Seveas, I dont know how to manually edit it to get it to work. | 21:09 |
| babaklinux | omac: but when i insert that line in sources.list and open synaptic and reload this error appear http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=fk2aw | 21:09 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf. ctrl+o is save, ctrl+x is exit | 21:10 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bikerbob_: Use gksudo gedit or gksudo kate and open the Xorg.conf file in one of them. If you have a graphical display atm... | 21:10 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bikerbob_: Or what Seveas said | 21:10 |
| neo_ | does ubuntu support nvidia 9600gt | 21:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Hondo_Kitsune: thunar works quite fine all my other three machines havent had a problem with it and it is the closest to nautilus but lighter also i dont want kde stuff on my system | 21:10 |
| Seveas | Hondo_Kitsune, he's in the console, X ain't working :) | 21:10 |
| fogobogo | neo_: if nvidia supports ubuntu you mean | 21:11 |
| neo_ | yeah | 21:11 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Seveas: I think I had that problem recently. on another system with an odd GCard, I had to change the Screen Refresh manually | 21:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | brb need to logout quickly | 21:12 |
| neo_ | will i be able to use compiz on ubuntu with nvidia 9600gt | 21:12 |
| omac | Seveas, babaklinux: xfardic is not in the ubuntu repository. babaklinux is getting this error. I need more info to be able recommend a next step. Failed to fetch http://parsix.org/packages/dists/ramon/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 21:12 |
| omac | Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 21:12 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Seveas: Can't remember how i did it. | 21:12 |
| Funkah | neo_: I should think so. | 21:12 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: If you install the right drivers, I ahve a 7600GT in my pc and I cant use Compiz because I have not installed the right drivers yet | 21:12 |
| Seveas | omac, that's not ubuntu software, I won't try to help :) | 21:12 |
| schidamb | have a question of ubuntu root account. It allows me to set the root account just by typing sudo root passwd , looks like a security hole to me. Anyone can login, and set the root passwd isn't it. Do you know why ubuntu does it this way | 21:13 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: Yet I have an Intel GFX in my lappy, and It uses CompizFusion all the time on top settings | 21:13 |
| omac | It's 4am here. I'm going to bed. | 21:13 |
| unop | schidamb, only if they have access to your credentials | 21:13 |
| Bikerbob_ | sorry.. I am not making myself understood.. I know HOW to open it up.. I just dont know WHAT to edit to get it to use the driver. | 21:13 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | omac: Night | 21:13 |
| neo_ | Hondo_Kitsune:i had a nvidia 6200 earlier and the drivers for that were installed automatically by ubuntu | 21:13 |
| unop | schidamb, or access to sudo really | 21:13 |
| jorrit | omac, sweet dreams and thanks for all the help! | 21:13 |
| Seveas | schidamb, only the user who installed ubuntu (or any users given that access by the installing user) can use sudo | 21:14 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: The 7600, like most of the stuff i buy is a bit obscure, badly supported etc... I live with it. I still use Windoze mainly on my PC becasue I play games on it alot. | 21:14 |
| neo_ | me too | 21:14 |
| GSH | omac - thanks for trying on my IP address issue. As I said, I wish I could communicate more clearly that it's not HW, and I'm not a total newbie. | 21:14 |
| schidamb | Thank You. This answers | 21:14 |
| neo_ | i would always keep my xp dual booted with any other linux distro | 21:15 |
| demontat | salut | 21:15 |
| Funkah | I kinda regret that I need windows for work. And pretty soon, I won't have any linux computers :( | 21:15 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: My lappy is 101% ubuntu boot, with an XP vmachine and Xover Office. Works for me | 21:15 |
| neo_ | what's the name of the linux built for the ps3 ,its yellow dog something right | 21:15 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: Yellow DOg, yah | 21:15 |
| Seveas | neo_, ubuntu also has ps3 install cd's | 21:16 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: Mut Sony made sure the GPU and CPU get majorly restricted when running Linux to stop emulators and VMware working right, etc. | 21:16 |
| bonk_ | hi | 21:16 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | *but* | 21:16 |
| gwash | Hondo_Kitsune: that doesn't make you any 'cooler' than the dual booting kids | 21:16 |
| neo_ | Hondo_Kitsune : you have installed ubuntu on ur laptop ,which model | 21:16 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | gwash: I was not implying that at all. | 21:16 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: Toshiba Equium M70-337 | 21:16 |
| bonk_ | if I have a link www.x.com/movie.mov how do I download that mov file to the disk? | 21:16 |
| Bikerbob_ | anyone want to look at my Xorg.conf and log? | 21:16 |
| Seveas | bonk_, file -> save as | 21:17 |
| fogobogo | bonk_: with a downlaoder | 21:17 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, sure, if you can somehow pastebin them | 21:17 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | bonk_: Open firefox, right click the link and save as. | 21:17 |
| neo_ | Hondo_Kitsune: ok | 21:17 |
| jorrit | bonk_, or from the command-line wget <URL> | 21:17 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | bonk_: wget <Filename> | 21:17 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | jorrit: Damn, you beat me to it:P | 21:17 |
| Bikerbob_ | whats the pastepin url again.. not the ubuntu one | 21:17 |

| Pirate_Hunter | tried using command locate & whereis to no avail, how can i search the whole system for a file? | 21:18 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bikerbob_: Set up SSH on your Linux rig and then PUTTY into it from the system you are using to talk on IRC, that should let you copy/paste | 21:18 |
| tyranis | whenever I start ubuntu I see this screen and nothing happens. http://tyranis.mercenariesguild.net/ubuntufail.JPG . How do I fix this? | 21:18 |

| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, find / -name foobar | 21:19 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, find / -iname '*filename*' | 21:19 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | jorrit: No, I have just been known as "HK" for a while now | 21:19 |
| neo_ | maybe?? | 21:19 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: we have been posting links for a bit, as long as it is on topic yu should be ok | 21:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Seveas, unop: ty | 21:19 |
| neo_ | what about the link to my channel ^_^ | 21:20 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | neo_: hmm | 21:20 |
| Seveas | neo_, definite no. | 21:20 |
| yem2 | So yea i just wrote my first script named: FirstScript, its sitting in my home directory, when i put "cc Firstscript" It gives me this error "/usr/bin/ld:FirstScript: file format not recognized; treating as linker script | 21:20 |

| Seveas | yem2, why are you trying to compile your script? :) | 21:20 |
| yem2 | i want to see if it works | 21:20 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Seveas,unop: do i have to use the whole filename cause im only using part of it and I aint using upercase, im hoping it aint strict on things like that | 21:21 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, between line 35 and 36 there should be something like: Driver "ati" | 21:22 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, the version i gave you takes account for incomplete filename and case insensitivity | 21:22 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, and you could try commenting out (put a # as first character) line 35 | 21:22 |
| Bikerbob_ | ok | 21:22 |
| fogobogo | Bikerbob_: it could be an other line too though | 21:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: ok and you said the version you have, which version is that | 21:23 |

| unop | Pirate_Hunter, or more appropriately. find / -iname '*word*' | 21:23 |

| broken | thanks Flannel | 21:25 |
| walwan | Been struggling for 2 days with these ATI drivers for my x800pro, tried the drivers ver 8,8 and the latest from ATI site, tried EnvyNG, and the proprietary drivers aswell. fiddled around in xorg.conf with all those. Most of them went to a white screen right after logging in. Others just back to Vesa drivers. | 21:25 |
| walwan | Any earlier versions of the ATI drivers I should try out ? | 21:25 |
| Bad_Magic | Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? | 21:26 |
| Bikerbob_ | yes.. but it did not load the vesa with it.. | 21:27 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bad_Magic: Does your PS3 run Ubuntu? | 21:27 |
| Jacobbs | yaaaar | 21:27 |
| Bikerbob_ | remember this is a powerpc computer | 21:27 |
| Bad_Magic | Hondo: yes | 21:27 |
| yem2 | does anyone else ever feel overwhelmed when trying to understand some computer concepts? :P | 21:27 |
| Seveas | yem2, all the freaking time :) | 21:27 |

| Bad_Magic | as someone with a B.S. in computer science... yes | 21:27 |
| Bad_Magic | lol | 21:27 |
| geodome | we all face learning curves at some time | 21:27 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bad_Magic: The Graphics processor is capped in Linux mode, sony has desigened it like that to stop making it work properly with emulatiors | 21:27 |
| geodome | lol | 21:27 |
| gaintsura | yem2: absolutely... try learning the Amazon webservice | 21:28 |
| Seveas | Bad_Magic, as someone close to a MSc. in that field: even more :) | 21:28 |
| JC_Denton_ | trying to share my internet connection but firestarter says eth1 is not ready. eth1 is up. won't be using dhcp unless necessary | 21:28 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | stops people geting a PS2 or PS1 emulator etc and installing it on PS3 Linux | 21:28 |
| geodome | lol | 21:28 |
| geodome | hacking ps3 | 21:28 |
| Bad_Magic | Hondo: but it works fine using a fullscreen ps3 buffer, but as soon as i use fbset to try to reign in the overscan it blows up again | 21:28 |
| Bad_Magic | argh | 21:28 |
| Bad_Magic | =x | 21:28 |
| yem2 | The tactic i've always used is to keep trucking :P | 21:28 |
| yem2 | and eventially I kinda get it, then after awhile i actully know what i'm doing | 21:29 |
| keithclark | yem2: Yes, never give up, never surrender. | 21:29 |

| Seveas | yem2, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" :) | 21:29 |
| JC_Denton_ | Why would firestarter report eth1 as not ready? | 21:30 |
| gaintsura | JC_Denton_: perhaps because firestarter was initialized before eth1 was ready? | 21:30 |
| Bad_Magic | its like snes9x is barfing because its not a standard resolution | 21:30 |
| Bad_Magic | its odd to say the least | 21:30 |
| * Bad_Magic ponders | 21:30 | |
| JC_Denton_ | gaintsura: nope. I ensure eth1 was up first | 21:30 |
| gaintsura | JC_Denton_: dunno then | 21:31 |
| Bad_Magic | i wonder if the psubuntu version of II will have all this stuff worked out... the ps3 ports definitely lack the normal polish you see with ubuntu | 21:31 |
| Bad_Magic | then again PPC is barely supported in general now that macs are x86... | 21:31 |
| Bad_Magic | but i digress | 21:31 |
| digitalfiz | sony uses ppc in the ps3? | 21:32 |
| GSH | digitalfiz - the main CPU in the PS3 is a PPC-variant from Intel. | 21:32 |
| guntbert | !ot | 21:32 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:32 |
| digitalfiz | you mean ibm right | 21:32 |
| GSH | err, yes, IBM | 21:33 |
| jorrit | digitalfiz, yes PPC is from IBM | 21:33 |
| digitalfiz | so they did cheap out glad i didnt buy a ps3 | 21:33 |
| Bad_Magic | but the only major consumer product that used them in recent memory would be macs | 21:33 |
| digitalfiz | bet ppc is real cheap now that apple dumped them | 21:33 |
| Bad_Magic | up until what... 2 years ago? | 21:33 |
| GSH | IBM made custom PPC variants for the PS3 and XBox 360. Removed OutOfOrder Execution (OOE) in order to get clockspeed up. And other useful things | 21:33 |
| Kruzen | can anyone offer any help in uninstalling this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/crypt-manager-an-encrypted-folder-manager-for-ubuntu-linux.html | 21:34 |

| Pirate_Hunter | i wish to see every app installed currently by me through apt-get & aptiude | 21:36 |
| * guntbert doesn't want to read about ps3, ps2, ... in #ubuntu | 21:36 | |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, dpkg --get-selections or dpkg -l (depending on which info you want) | 21:36 |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, or the 'installed' filter in synaptic | 21:37 |
| Bad_Magic | anyone have any theories why full screen would work fine using 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode and not when just using a 720p video mode? | 21:37 |
| Kruzen | Seveas, any advice for me? :) | 21:37 |
| Bikerbob_ | well thanks for the effort guys.. will have to try again another day | 21:37 |
| Seveas | Kruzen, don't eat yellow snow | 21:37 |
| Bad_Magic | even bad theories might help | 21:38 |
| Kruzen | Thats a good one to remember | 21:38 |
| Bad_Magic | lol | 21:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | i really dont know where my file are going to when deleted in gnome-commander, i know for sure they arent going to trash :/ | 21:38 |
| Kruzen | But really, I have a good grasp on using apt and such, but have no idea where files are going when I use these peoples python installers and such | 21:38 |
| jlewis_ | Can someone help me with OpenDNS on my Ubuntu? OpenDNS says I'm using it, I have the right DNS numbers, but I can still access rubbish. Thoughts? | 21:38 |
| Kruzen | crawling through the .py didn't help much either | 21:38 |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, so gnome-commander and rox-filer are both screwing with you? Sure you don't want to stick to nautilus? :) | 21:38 |
| Bikerbob_ | if I want to startup at run level 3 my kernel argument would be root=/dev/sda5, 3 - right seperate with a comma and just the #3? | 21:39 |
| yem2 | is there a hot key for opening the terminal? | 21:39 |
| Seveas | Kruzen, ugh... an install.sh for a python program. The person who wrote that needs to be educated with a large stick about distutils. | 21:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Seveas: was thinking of going into good ol' thunar before decide to do the whole no show desktop in menu, funny enough this si my main system and runs well with gnome and nautilus but ive got that itch that i want really fast response system | 21:40 |
| Uplink | why does my wine window keep disappearing everytime i switch workstations? | 21:40 |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, not trying to belittle you, but have you looked at the docs for rox/g-c to find out where their trash is stored/ | 21:40 |
| Seveas | ? | 21:41 |
| jorrit | yem2, you can define a hot key for any program, but Ctrl+Alt+F1 will put you back in the first main terminal, from which you can return to your graphical environment using Ctrl+Alt+F7 | 21:41 |
| yem2 | thx jorrit | 21:41 |
| csilk | anyone know what version of netbeans is in the repository before i download it? | 21:41 |
| Seveas | yem2, system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts. There you can set a shorcut to open a terminal gui like gnome-terminal | 21:41 |
| Bikerbob_ | is that right people? I need to boot into run level 3 because I have messed my Xorg and I get just a black screen on boot | 21:41 |
| jorrit | yem2, np | 21:41 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Seveas: why didnt i think of that :( i guess i was so wrapped up in complainign that i forgot | 21:42 |
| csilk | thanks Seveas | 21:42 |
| d0wn | I'm trying to share a connection via iptables and a modification to my sysctl.conf, however, the line i put in the sysctl.conf just isn't working after reboots | 21:42 |

| Bikerbob_ | how do I set runlevel as a kernel arguement? | 21:43 |
| Sigg3 | Hi everyone | 21:43 |
| jorrit | Xecration, nice link..:-) | 21:43 |
| matt0009 | #ubuntu-us-mo | 21:43 |
| Firefishe | I would like to know if ubuntu's synaptic can be used with a stock debian installation or not. | 21:43 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, runlevels are obsolete. Runlevel 2, 3, 4 and 5 are the same in ubuntu. upstart (init replacement) will not use runlevels in the near-ish future | 21:43 |
| Sigg3 | I'm doing an installation of Ubuntu 8.04 on my gf's machine, and I get to the Partition editor and it reports my disk size wrong | 21:43 |
| fr4nk-k | Firefishe: i think so. | 21:43 |
| _Zeus_ | Sigg3: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l | 21:44 |
| Bikerbob_ | so how do I stop the Xorg from loading? | 21:44 |
| jorrit | Firefishe, try apt-get install synaptic, if that works it will install synaptic using debian variables | 21:44 |
| jordan[] | well i use wireless on my pc, but my wireless isnt working, im on ethernet right now but i need to get wireless working | 21:44 |
| Seveas | Bikerbob_, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove | 21:44 |
| JC_Denton_ | trying to share my internet connection but firestarter says eth1 is not ready. eth1 is up. won't be using dhcp unless necessary | 21:44 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Firefishe: if not adept install synaptic | 21:44 |
| Bikerbob_ | CANT GET INTO THE INSTALL ANYMORE | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all, does nayone use fluxbox? | 21:44 |
| Sigg3 | Zeus: Sry, I'm on another machine now. But I can run that command. I get 3940916913MB on a 250GB disk.. | 21:45 |
| Bikerbob_ | I need to enter a kernel argument | 21:45 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Bikerbob_: Load in safemode... hold on while i try and remember how to do that | 21:45 |
| d0wn | JC_Denton: assign an ip to eth1 | 21:45 |
| Firefishe | jorrit: oh, it's installed by default. What I don't like is the repository system in the standard synaptic. I prefer ubuntu's, and am only using stock debian because one, this machine is loaner, and two, it's an older pentium 3m laptop with 256mb of RAM. A bit low-yield for an ubuntu system. | 21:45 |
| Bikerbob_ | man Xfree86 use to work for me.. run levels worked.. and everything is being gotten rid of why??? | 21:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Seveas: I prefer herbal tea mint flavour if possible, think it more relaxing and helps me concentrate | 21:46 |
| d0wn | JC_Denton: sudo ifconfig eth1 localiphere | 21:46 |
| Firefishe | jorrit: ubuntu's synaptic has a menu system for selecting repositories. Debian's synaptic does not, and that's what I want. | 21:46 |
| Seveas | Pirate_Hunter, excellent choice | 21:46 |
| Bad_Magic | Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? | 21:46 |
| jorrit | Firefishe, ah, a Pentium 3 I have that one as well and use this distro: Fluxbox 1.0 (it works like lightning for me) | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Firefishe: just edit /etc/apt/sources.lst | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Firefishe: you dont need a gui | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jorrit: do you know how to make the buttons not occupy the entire bottom bar | 21:47 |
| jorrit | ActionParsnip, which buttons, please? | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jorrit: the running apps | 21:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: you should probably tell them to use nano to edit sources from termianl/bash/shell etc | 21:48 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, resize the window list by dragging the handle between the 'show desktop' button and the app buttons to the left | 21:48 |
| jorrit | ActionParsnip, you can resize your fluxbar with the mouse | 21:48 |
| histo | I'm having issues with tightvnc. when running tightvncserver i'm specifying an httpport and its starting a server that I can connect to with vncclient. If i try to connect to it with a java based browser on the http port the server crashes | 21:48 |
| Bad_Magic | or possibly does anyone know how to force a resolution into Xfce? | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: i tell them to use their favorite text editor | 21:48 |
| Firefishe | ActionParsnip: I know, I know ;-). Here's my issue: I use various wi-fi public access points, all of which yield various speeds. I change repositories to suit the speed of each access point. When I was using ubuntu (and I will when I buy my new laptop in October), all I had to do was select a button, and update in synaptic. | 21:48 |
| Extend | i installed ubuntu 8.04 server and forgot to add network card & i added it after i finished the installation | 21:48 |
| histo | I should say the vnc server crashes not the actual machine. | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: in fluxbox? | 21:48 |
| JC_Denton_ | d0wn already set it using network-admin :) | 21:49 |
| JC_Denton_ | strangely enough I can't ping the other machine which has a static ip too | 21:49 |
| Firefishe | ActionParsnip: So I guess my main question is, how does one modify synaptic to use ubuntu's button-driver repository selection system? | 21:49 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, didn't know about the fluxbox bit :) | 21:49 |
| Extend | i can't make it work | 21:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: ok cause i just saw you dont need gui so suspected you were assuming they know how to work from cli | 21:49 |
| Extend | what can i do | 21:49 |
| Extend | ? | 21:49 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Extend: Just plug it in, it should work. Ubuntu is a PNP OS | 21:49 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | *PnP | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Firefishe: then have multiple repo files and cp the one to sources.lst to wherever you are | 21:49 |
| d0wn | JC_Denton_: I had issues with Firestarter connection sharing aswell, what worked for me was using iptables instead | 21:49 |

| d0wn | JC_Denton_: see http://lindesk.com/2007/04/internet-connection-sharing-using-iptables/ if you are interested in the iptables method | 21:50 |
| jorrit | Well, guys/ gals, it's been nice talking to you and thanks for the help and suggestions...I got to do something about my studies now... | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: people need to realise what the stupid gui does for the repo stuf andjust add / remove them to / from that fi;e | 21:51 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, neh, people shouldn't have to care about that :) | 21:51 |
| corentin | salut | 21:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: to tell you the truth if people just tried to use termianl with screen 85% of all common commands could be easily done without gui and why did i mention screen cause im reading the man pages on it and how to use it | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: hey do if what they need is on a repo they dont have | 21:52 |
| Firefishe | ActionParsnip: I have been using gnu/linux debian, ubuntu/kubuntu, mandrake since 5.x, as well as suse and solaris 10 | 21:52 |
| niche | How do I use the man command to construct a list of one sentence descriptions for other commands? | 21:52 |
| JC_Denton_ | d0wn thanks but previously I had it working using FS. hd died though so on live session onw | 21:52 |
| Firefishe | for some time now. I spend most of my time in gui, anyway (kde right now), so the graphical tools are helpful to me. | 21:53 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, that's what apturl's are for nowadays. long live the slow death of the terminal :) | 21:53 |
| klync | are there any browsers besides konqueror that use webkit? i'm a gnome user, and don't want to load the kitchen sink to get this browser running (needed for testing - i use ffx mostly ... not trying to start a flamewar) | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: amen brother, people use from windows so are used to logging on then sitting on their left hand and glueing their hand to the mouse | 21:53 |
| unop | niche, not sure what you mean by that. but have a look at apropos or man -k | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: i only use gui or mouse for web browsing and warzone 2100 | 21:53 |
| Syco54645_AAO | hello i am having an issue that after a certain length of run time it appears that no more gtk apps will open | 21:54 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, then you're far from a typical user :) | 21:54 |
| Syco54645_AAO | anyone know why this would be | 21:54 |
| Firefishe | ActionParsnip: I also had to, yesterday as a matter of fact, download alsa-firmware and compile it to get the firmware blobs to work on this old pIII brick. | 21:54 |
| Sigg3 | Hi I got wrong size on my disk reported on the partition editor.. | 21:54 |
| Firefishe | compaq armada | 21:54 |
| Sigg3 | I have the output of fdisk -l if anyone's interested | 21:54 |
| Seveas | Syco54645_AAO, becaue ActionParsnip has hacked your computer and thinks you use the mouse too much ;)) | 21:54 |
| jorrit | Seveas, actually ActionParsnip sounds like an oldskool user who recognizes the power of the terminal. | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: ive been on linux a while. so im conversant with cli, if my gui apps fail i am lost | 21:54 |

| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: true im still killing the habit of opening file manager just to check a file name when i could do the command ls whatever and continue working, i guess these things take time to get used to since most come from windows | 21:55 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, I practically live inside gnome-terminal (managing hundreds of remote serves ain't no gui job). We're both very non-standard users :) | 21:55 |

| hwilde_ | Pirate_Hunter, you know about the tab key right... | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: i use yakuake ;) | 21:56 |
| Syco54645_AAO | klync: ok, will take me a bit because i have to switch to tty1 | 21:56 |
| Syco54645_AAO | jorrit: well he doesnt use x either, i dont think at all | 21:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hwilde_: yah i do :) i cant live without it anymore, damn smart ubuntu ppl and there autocomplete | 21:56 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, KDE software makes me twitch, I prefer gnome :) | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: its all i really know, it just makes sense | 21:57 |
| hwilde_ | Pirate_Hunter, so you don't have to know the filename exactly just tab it | 21:57 |
| Funkah | I think I use autocomplete for 98% of filenames in terminal. | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: gnome is too slow, i prefer fluxbox. Id use fluxbuntu if i could get autologin to work | 21:57 |
| * Funkah is laaazy? | 21:57 | |
| Seveas | Funkah, autocomplete is more powerfil than that... | 21:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hwilde_: yah that works if you actually know what the file starts with otherwise ls should do the trick unless there is another way | 21:57 |
| Seveas | bash completion ftw :) | 21:57 |
| Syco54645_AAO | klync: not seeing anything bad in there at all | 21:57 |
| Syco54645_AAO | i will check tp | 21:57 |
| Syco54645_AAO | klync: i should also note that ctrl alt backspace will cause x to close but it never loads gnome | 21:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: try fvwm or fvwm-crystal if you want something working from the box, it is similar as using gnome but faster | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: ls helps | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: and find -name | 21:59 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, ever tried twm? :) | 21:59 |

| Sigg3 | ActionParsnip: It is a 250GB PATA drive (on a laptop). | 22:11 |
| guntbert | ^A | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Sigg3: ok looks like the disk has a screwed fat | 22:11 |
| Sigg3 | ActionParsnip: A FAT partition? | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | fat == file allocation table | 22:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | guntbert: ty im just starting to grasp how useful screen is, why havent i tried using it till now :'( | 22:12 |
| histo | ActionParsnip: okay the error I put in the channel here is definately what is happening when the server is crashing. | 22:12 |
| Sigg3 | ActionParsnip: So, what do I do then? Is it doable or do I have to get it replaced? | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | histo: ive not used it byt does websearching the error gain anything? | 22:12 |
| histo | ActionParsnip: it outputs that to the log file in .vnc/name:3.log then dies. It doesn't even delete its files in /tmp | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Sigg3: have you tried to fsck the drive? | 22:13 |
| histo | ActionParsnip: No thats why i was asking in here. | 22:13 |

| CanadianLinux | Hello, a little help. I have an ATI HD2400 pro video card, using the fglrx drivers from the repository. Is it really worth it to install the latest driver from the ATI.com website. What im asking is, is it worth the trouble? | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | histo: or try later | 22:14 |
| * erUSUL like phoenix comes back after a hard disk faliure and reinstall ... \o/ | 22:14 | |

| ActionParsnip | CanadianLinux: do you need 3d support? | 22:14 |
| prakash_ | hi | 22:14 |
| Seveas | CanadianLinux, not worth it. If you want a newer driver, use envyng | 22:14 |
| CanadianLinux | Yes, i do play 3d games | 22:14 |
| histo | ActionParsnip: I thought you had knowledge on the matter since you were asking me to explain. | 22:14 |
| CanadianLinux | envy? | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | CanadianLinux: id personally recommend envyng too, but its not supported | 22:14 |
| arooni-mobile | i have a 460W power supply that seems incapable of powering: intel p43 chipset atx board, nvidia geforce 8600gts, 2 case fans, wireless card, one sata 360gb hard drive, and 1 pata dvd burner..... i say this because w/o a pci wireless card, everything runs fine. with a pci wireless card, machine spins up for a second then shuts down then spins up again. then i get no video out. ideas on whats wrong? | 22:14 |
| Seveas | CanadianLinux, it's an application you can find in the ubuntu software repositories | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | CanadianLinux | 22:14 |
| CanadianLinux | sry, its been a while since ive dealt with video drivers | 22:14 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, it's sort-of supported | 22:14 |
| IAB | so I managed to bump myself from the sudoers list, and I don't think I ever set the root password - is there some simple way of resetting it at boot or from a livecd? | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: the factoid wil hapen soon | 22:15 |
| Glady | youre waiting for teddy bears | 22:15 |

| Seveas | ActionParsnip, bot seems to be slow | 22:15 |

| ActionParsnip | |AB: boot to live cd and chroot, then set root pass | 22:16 |
| Seveas | IAB, yes | 22:16 |
| IAB | thanks | 22:16 |
| Glady | one two three four | 22:16 |
| Glady | action! | 22:16 |
| IAB | now I have to figure out how to boot from CD in vmware - but I don't think that'll be too hard :-) | 22:16 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, in intrepid, recovery mode actually has a friendly-recovery menu that can do things like that | 22:16 |
| litel | hello i can't find the name of that thing, a sort of texte status on the desck, like this (at the left) http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/3547/capturepq6.png | 22:16 |
| Seveas | IAB, just do the recovery mode trick. Easier :) | 22:16 |
| CanadianLinux | AccessExcess, do i just need the envyng package, | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Seveas: intrepid isnt supported here, you want #ubuntu+1 | 22:16 |
| Seveas | ActionParsnip, I was just giving you some info, chill... | 22:17 |
| * IAB googles recovery more | 22:17 | |
| IAB | s/more/mode | 22:17 |
| Seveas | iab, reboot, when the bootmanager (grub) loads, hit escape. A menu appears, select the recovery mode | 22:17 |
| IAB | thx | 22:17 |
| KrimZon | Nautilus hangs when when I try to open a specific directory. Does anyone know how to further diagnose the cause of this problem? | 22:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | mentioning intrepid just reminded me that i ahve to install VB so i can test it out, from the screen shots it looks like they went and adapted a vista look full of visual effects, dont know if that is bad or not | 22:18 |
| rob | cool | 22:18 |
| TTilus | KrimZon: what do you have in the dir? | 22:19 |
| Seveas | KrimZon, before entering the directory, strace -p the nautilus process | 22:19 |
| TTilus | KrimZon: you could try turning thumbnailing off | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/MyScreenshot.png thats my desktop | 22:19 |
| KrimZon | ok | 22:19 |
| IAB | Thanks Seveas - back online alraedy | 22:20 |
| histo | Okay trying to connect to tightvncserver via a java browser crashes the vnc server. It closes the process and leaves the tmp files in /tmp. | 22:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: if thats your desktop running intrepid it looks nice and simple i like and you got sonic, is that a genesis emu? | 22:21 |
| histo | Okay trying to connect to tightvncserver via a java browser crashes the vnc server. It closes the process and leaves the tmp files in /tmp. I'm getting an error of Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable on display ':1'. in the logs for tightvnc? Looking for any ideas | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: no its hardy | 22:21 |
| KrimZon | hmm, it could be failing on thumbnails - i tried deleting the cache of them, which didn't help | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: yeah its gens | 22:21 |
| KrimZon | the strace is outputting a big bunch of stuff that might be looping, and the process is maxing out one core in terms of cpu usage | 22:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: didnt know there was a native gens for linux or are you running from wine, if not where did you get you gens? | 22:22 |
| Seveas | KrimZon, ok, so at least it's not hanging :) | 22:22 |
| KrimZon | http://rafb.net/p/Oef0lJ65.html | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: theres a 32bit native gens, you'll need 32bit libs | 22:22 |
| Sigg3 | ActionParsnip: Like sudo fsck /dev/sda ? | 22:22 |
| KrimZon | it seems to be stuck in an infinite loop | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Sigg3: id scan it from livecd if you | 22:23 |
| Seveas | KrimZon, or it really wants to know the time | 22:23 |
| CanadianLinux | Thanks for the tip on EnvyNG.. Much appreciated folks | 22:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: where would i get that, i am assuming it is not in the repo enither gens or the lib... | 22:23 |
| un | could someone point me at a fix for hardy's openoffice.org-writer2latex bug... my dpkg is completely broken | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | gens is not, you need the .deb | 22:24 |
| KrimZon | and yep, it works in list view, just crashes in icon view | 22:24 |

| unop | keithclark, is the display problem the only problem you are facing? | 22:32 |
| ali_ | the psp was workin fine before | 22:32 |
| keithclark | unop, I think so. | 22:32 |
| keithclark | Everything used to be fine. | 22:32 |
| csilk | Keith, what card is it? | 22:32 |
| keithclark | hmmm....I've forgotten now. | 22:32 |
| keithclark | sec.... | 22:32 |
| unop | !fixres | keithclark, have you seen this? | 22:33 |
| keithclark | unop, I can't boot though. | 22:33 |
| unop | hmm, seems like ubottu's down and out | 22:33 |
| keithclark | unop, system is useless | 22:33 |
| unop | keithclark, so where do you see all these big and blurry fonts? | 22:33 |
| keithclark | unop, all over the screen. | 22:33 |
| ali_ | Error removing file: Read-only file system it keeps sayin this | 22:33 |
| unop | keithclark, if you can't boot - which screen would this be? | 22:33 |
| keithclark | unop, hard to tell. | 22:34 |
| keithclark | unop, I see brown with red Ubu written in huge, blurry letters | 22:34 |
| unop | keithclark, hmm, that's not the desktop i take it. must be the boot splash screen. | 22:35 |
| keithclark | unop, could be. It's been that way for the last half hour | 22:35 |
| unop | keithclark, do you have any data on the system? | 22:35 |
| unop | keithclark, i mean, your personal files, etc? | 22:36 |
| keithclark | unop, not really, but the wireless took me hours to get running. | 22:36 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | Is there a way to send a message to someone on the same unix box, where they are logged onto an X11 session on that machine, and I am ssh'ed on it? | 22:36 |
| zipper | I like ubuntu, mainly its unmatched hardware detection, but i dont want to use gnome or kde, and a lot of the apps that come default. Is a server install just the base system, without the "ubuntu-desktop" package or does it install apache and stuff as well if i chose 'server'? | 22:36 |
| unop | keithclark, does ubuntu boot into the recovery mode? | 22:36 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | I want the message to show as some sort of popup to them | 22:36 |
| keithclark | unop, I remember changing something to fglrx or something like that | 22:36 |
| unop | keithclark, sounds like you just messed up xorg - it should easily be corrected. | 22:37 |
| sw54 | hello | 22:37 |
| keithclark | unop, ok, and the best way is? | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | keithclark: you should backup xorg.conf before playing | 22:37 |
| afallenhope | is there a reason as to why I can't burn DVD's? I get the following error: ":-[ LOAD TRAY failed with SK=5h/ASC=24h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error" however there'sa blank DVD+R in the drive. | 22:37 |
| unop | keithclark, well, tell me if ubuntu can boot into the recovery mode? | 22:38 |
| xbxb | Hey, I've got every volume setting to highest, but the sound is still quite low with headphones. Is there a way to increase the volume? | 22:38 |
| keithclark | ActionParsnip, hindsite is 20/20! I usually do but I've never encountered a problem and thought I'd just wing it. Lesson learned. | 22:38 |
| sw54 | how can I tell nmbd (netbios daemon) not to be active on one of severl interfaces please? | 22:38 |
| keithclark | unop, I will try it now. I'm on a different machine at the moment on a different floor. | 22:38 |
| unop | loquitus_of_bor1, i guess you could use zenity. something like. DISPLAY=$display_you_want zenity .... | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | keithclark: i always back up .conf files and ive been using linux a while | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | keithx | 22:39 |
| keithclark | ActionParsnip, and if it totally messes up you system, how to use the backup? | 22:39 |
| zipper | keithclark, alt+ctrl+f1.... unless you REALLY mess up and is unable to boot =P | 22:39 |
| loleco | Hi | 22:39 |
| iaindalton | oy all | 22:40 |
| keithclark | unop, I've never booted into recovery mode....is there anything to watch for, I won't have access to this machine while I'm there. | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | keithclark: cp ./oldfileyoubackedup ./originalfilename | 22:40 |
| unop | keithclark, you boot up into recovery mode or step down into the console. | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | keithclark: you need to make the backup before and you may need sudo | 22:40 |
| keithclark | ActionParsnip, understood. | 22:40 |

| ActionParsnip | keithclark: you've learned but the hard way | 22:41 |

| afallenhope | DeadPirateDave, Ubuntu it be, not Ubantu | 22:42 |

| keithclark | unop, brb | 22:50 |
| DeadPirateDave | @Pibe: Just a different installation menu. It's text based, and you can't run it as a live-cd. | 22:50 |
| unop | zipper, && and ; are not the same thing. if you used && the second command would only run if the first succeeded | 22:50 |
| zipper | unop, exactly | 22:50 |
| DeadPirateDave | @Pibe: It's good for older pcs. I tried installing it on a 2.4 ghz Pentium 4 w/512mb. Only got it working with Alternative. | 22:50 |

| unop | Pirate_Hunter, well ^C-a, d detaches from the session - you then need to reattach to the session before any other screen shortcuts will work (that includes ^C-a d r ) | 22:52 |
| DeadPirateDave | Pibe: Never tried it before... I go for stable builds. | 22:52 |

| keithclark_ | unop: ok, I'm on the problem machine and logged in!!!! Thanks. | 22:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop done that i know two sessions are detached four are atached and only by accident i managed to get this window back | 22:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: what do i do now | 22:53 |
| csilk | deus, most likely yes | 22:53 |
| g-hennux | can anyone tell me in short what the current state of the ati/nvidia linux drivers for ati or nvidia graphics cards is? ati used to be a pain in the a** at my site for years, but i've heard they should have become better... | 22:53 |
| iaindalton | pibe: what error? | 22:53 |
| pibe | DeadPirateDave: i got and error in 32 bits, so i installed 64 bits and video driver does not work | 22:53 |
| csilk | g-hennux, i have ati radeon 2400 HD and it works just fine | 22:54 |
| sw54 | how can I disable nmbd (netbios-daemon) for just one of several interfaces? | 22:54 |
| csilk | worked straight out of the box | 22:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | deus: it should be posible | 22:54 |
| pibe | iaindalton: i ll tell you, one second please | 22:54 |
| zipper | g-hennux, they're both pretty good by now. That said, setting up multiple monitors can still be a pain, but that goes for both nvidia and ati. Maybe more-so on ati, but im not 100% sure | 22:54 |
| csilk | ati is easy to get dual screen | 22:54 |
| csilk | as long as they are both the same resolution | 22:54 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, i'm not sure where you are now, do you want to attach to another one of the detached screen sessions?? | 22:54 |
| csilk | i'm on dual screen now with ATi | 22:54 |
| zipper | didnt say it was impossible =) | 22:55 |

| ubottu | alfallenhope: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 22:56 |
| zipper | g-hennux, kernel modules? For nvidia and/or ati drivers?! | 22:56 |
| pibe | DeadPirateDave: and where is on internet next kernel? | 22:57 |
| pibe | or in ubuntu? | 22:57 |
| zipper | g-hennux, i think there is some logistics involved, making it impossible for ubuntu to ever ship either with ubuntu. But they have a nice little pop-up now, if the system detects you have either of those cards and allows to to very easily install drivers for it | 22:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: going to kill this screen session brb | 22:57 |
| DeadPirateDave | Pibe: You'll have to check and see if you can get a version of 8.10 working. It is not fululy released yet. | 22:57 |

| pibe | iaindalton: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=922615 | 22:58 |
| g-hennux | zipper: yes, that fglrx stuff. for some reason, something didn't really work... and doesn't do so, still. right now, i need to kill x once right after startup to get 3d acceleration. and then, i have that only on the laptop screen and such. so i'm really fed up with fiddling around with any driver stuff | 22:58 |
| pibe | DeadPirateDave: look here this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=922615 | 22:58 |
| unop | zipper, i didn't mean for ; to be used as a statement separator. i just used it to make a distinction between the two commands - i didn't really intend for him to put both on the same line (as one command essentially) | 22:58 |
| keithclark_ | unop: thank you kindly for your help. I'm sure the person who gave me the other advice was only trying to help! | 22:58 |
| iaindalton | pibe: IRC is the last resort of the incompetent ;-) | 22:58 |
| g-hennux | and, for example, i paid some 100 euros extra to get a pivot function for my tft, just to get to know now that fglrx currently doesn't support rotating the screen | 22:58 |
| azdak | what is this | 22:58 |
| iaindalton | first, STFW | 22:58 |
| unop | keithclark, i'm sure he was - can i ask why he intended for you to change the driver? if you know i.e. | 22:59 |
| keithclark_ | unop: I was just trying to get my ATI card to work properly | 22:59 |
| keithclark_ | unop: it does not at the moment | 22:59 |

| pibe | iaindalton: i have bnn here before so i write it to everybody see what i have done | 23:00 |
| zipper | g-hennux, i think you took the wrong approach, ati or nvidia drivers were never part of the kernel. That said, i have no idea how to get pivot working, never had that function myself =/. But for just installing the drivers, thats really easy in (k)ubuntu now | 23:00 |
| pibe | iaindalton: been | 23:00 |
| aib | (least amount of interruption to currently running web server) | 23:00 |
| keithclark_ | unop: yes | 23:00 |
| [R] | can someone explain why xchat has a hard depend on tcl and tcl support is not an optional package? | 23:00 |
| ompaul | !rootsudo | Jacobbs have a read of this it is there (or was last time I looked) | 23:00 |
| ubottu | Jacobbs have a read of this it is there (or was last time I looked): 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) | 23:00 |
| DeadPirateDave | Pibe: Maybe there's a hack for it | 23:00 |
| keithclark_ | unop: I even tried Envy. Still did not work. | 23:00 |
| zipper | unop, oh okay, no biggie. As i said, i was just being picky (and trying to learn a bit of bash) =) | 23:00 |
| DeadPirateDave | Pibe: Just wait around for some responses on the forums, they're very knowledgeable | 23:00 |

| zipper | Jampiter, i guess you could start it from a terminal. If you put '&' after the command, it will be run in the background, so you dont have to keep the terminal running | 23:09 |
| unop | Gizmo_The_Great, i think nautilus prefers you to have used complete paths. i.e. ln -sv "$PWD".lzncache/ /mnt/SCSI/ScratchFolder/lzncache | 23:09 |

| unop | deus, there is always a possibility. so it's best if you backup what you can before attempting to upgrade - this goes for any upgrade, not just ubuntu. | 23:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | just noticed a weird thing, while unninstalling transmission i saw in terminal score 188 and after choosing not to remove certain options i saw -88 what is that all about? | 23:24 |
| keithclark_ | unop: I try to follow the directions as per !ati but when I try to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf all I get is a blank file. | 23:26 |
| J-n | afallenhope: none of the solutions i saw mentioned anything about needing to update the kernel, or changing write speed. They mention using Wine, and using cdrtools instead of wodim. | 23:26 |
| mirak | where are stored the files in the Trash of gnome ? | 23:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | anyone care to explain what the score thing is all about? | 23:27 |
| afallenhope | J-n, but the solutions I found when I googled said change the speeds | 23:27 |
| unop | keithclark, right, that's because we moved it out of the way to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.messed_up # and xorg is now running without a conf file | 23:27 |
| keithclark_ | unop: ok....but that does not help me install the ati drivers. | 23:27 |
| unop | keithclark_, you have two options - recreate a new conf file with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.messed_up file and save it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:27 |
| afallenhope | J-n, the issue is that my DVD rom isn't being picked up,. that's the issue | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !trash | 23:27 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 23:27 |
| unop | keithclark, i would go with the former as i wouldn't trust the integrity of the messed_up version. | 23:28 |
| BM|redwings | Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? | 23:28 |
| === BM|redwings is now known as BM | ||
| J-n | afallenhope: not the error message you've been saying? | 23:28 |
| afallenhope | J-n, the reason why it can't read/write to it is because the "DVD ROM" isn't being read. | 23:29 |
| J-n | afallenhope: cause all the links i've been sending you have been related directly to your error code. | 23:29 |
| afallenhope | however... if I insert a CD .. it reads it. | 23:29 |
| keithclark_ | unop: and if I redo it...will there be booting problems. | 23:29 |
| afallenhope | I have a blank DVD+R in the drive atm | 23:29 |
| J-n | afallenhope: it's a known bug. With workarounds available. I've sent you 3 distinct solutions that have worked for others. You have tried none of them, yet they are wrong? | 23:30 |
| afallenhope | J-n, I tried them lol. | 23:30 |
| unop | keithclark, quite possibly, i wouldn't say no - so always be prepared for that possibility - you'd still be able to boot up to get to a console tho - just the GUI part might be a little off. | 23:30 |
| keithclark_ | unop: yes, but you showed me how to get out of that pickle. | 23:31 |
| afallenhope | J-n, I'm using K3B as one of them says. I tried using wine.. did the same thing. | 23:31 |
| J-n | afallenhope: then it's a hardware issue. | 23:31 |
| Pretto | where's the udevmonitor on intrepid? | 23:31 |
| keithclark_ | unop: I say let me give it a shot. | 23:31 |
| afallenhope | J-n, how is it a hardware issue? if I insert a DVD right now.. it'll pick it up.. if the DVD is blank.. it wont. | 23:31 |
| J-n | afallenhope: 1 says use wine. and the other 2 involve Replacing wodim with cdrtools. | 23:32 |
| afallenhope | J-n, I have it! lol. | 23:32 |
| J-n | afallenhope: Then you should make out a bug report on cdrtools, and probally note in some offical place your inability to get this problem solved after using a workaround. | 23:33 |
| BM | stupid snes9x =\ | 23:34 |
| afallenhope | J-n, I'll explain it in dept because perhaps I'm not saying it right. If I insert a DVD with data on it.. I can view it and read it and access it. Same goes with a CD. I can burn CD's however, DVD.. when I insert a blank CD.. it doesn't pick up the drive. | 23:34 |
| GPhant | does anyone have a clue how to fix the crackling sound problems in Hardy? I have everything set to ALSA and i reboot and still, i get horrid sound. At that, doing a google search, i see a new way to "fix" it every time | 23:35 |
| keithclark_ | unop: that redo the xorg did not work. It will not finish. | 23:35 |
| J-n | afallenhope: cause as far as anyone else but you knows the workarounds work for everyone as the problem is in wodim. If it does not work for you, there are only 2 possible options. 1 it's a hardware issue, 2 it's related to the error code you mentioned which is thought to be because of wodim. -- Sorry i cannot help you further with your problems. | 23:36 |
| unop | keithclark, you mean the dpkg-reconfigure command? where is it stuck at? if it is indeed stuck | 23:36 |
| keithclark_ | unop: it is stuck at For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard model must ↑ | 23:36 |
| keithclark_ | │ be entered. Available models depend on which XKB rule set is in use. | 23:36 |
| keithclark_ | unop: I cannot continue from there | 23:36 |
| xbxb | When I'm playing a long mp3 and choose another time location in the stream, totem movie player often hangs and cannot play the mp3. what can I do? | 23:37 |
| unop | keithclark, what does pressing TAB do there? | 23:37 |
| Pretto | no clue about udevmonitor on intrepid? | 23:37 |
| keithclark_ | unop: it switches between the scroll bar and the ok button | 23:37 |
| afallenhope | J-n, I can't find the cdrtools :-s | 23:38 |
| unop | Pretto, intrepid questions to be asked in #ubuntu+1 | 23:38 |
| Pretto | unop, ok.. sorry | 23:38 |
| unop | keithclark, well, when it is on the OK button, hit RETURN or ENTER | 23:38 |
| keithclark_ | unop: I tried | 23:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | im using screen to run irssi on one window and normal terminal on the other, but on the second screen (which im just using normal terminal) i cant scroll up or down not even using page up or page down, what could be the problem? | 23:39 |
| afallenhope | J-n, I'll try it one more time | 23:39 |
| unop | keithclark, hmm, are you sure you didn't try and click it with the mouse? (some people do that) | 23:39 |
| keithclark_ | unop: you know what? I'm tired of this. I really tried here. For two days. It is just not going to work for me. | 23:39 |
| keithclark_ | unop: thanks for trying though. I really appreciate the effort you are putting out for me and others | 23:40 |
| unop | keithclark_, you need patience for this. don't give up | 23:40 |
| keithclark_ | unop: let me take a breath here | 23:40 |
| GPhant | meh | 23:41 |
| unop | keithclark, yea, good idea - go make a brew, have a sandwich or something - and come back - you'll feel better then - as i'm gonna do that too :) | 23:41 |
| mooja | Hello, I'm new to linux. Could anyone tell me if there is an open source alternative to dreamweaver? | 23:41 |
| Ward1983 | if i want to install grub on a disk i want to choose when installing, i need to click advanced in the last screen/window right? but what do i need to type there? | 23:41 |
| Ward1983 | /dev/sdX ? | 23:42 |
| GPhant | mooja, i dont think there is, but, if you need to run dreamweaver, look up "virtualbox" | 23:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | mooja: there are plenty the one i have of the top of my head is bluefish but there are others even more user friendly | 23:42 |
| mooja | GPhant, thanks. Is that a VMware type program? | 23:42 |
| Daft_Punk | !hi | me | 23:42 |
| ubottu | me: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:42 |
| GPhant | yes, its free | 23:43 |
| mooja | Pirate_Hunter: blue fish, ok - i'll check it out | 23:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Daft_Punk: dont abuse the bot | 23:43 |
| GPhant | and has a seamless mode (which is kinda cool) | 23:43 |
| Daft_Punk | seriously? I paid $100 for my linux | 23:43 |
| EvilDaemon | Daft_Punk: That's nice, but the bot is for help. Right bot? | 23:43 |
| Ward1983 | Daft_Punk: he was talking about virtualbox....... | 23:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Daft_Punk: good for you people are paying more for Vista what can we do about it | 23:43 |
| EvilDaemon | !botsnack | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 23:43 |
| J-n | lol | 23:44 |
| Daft_Punk | EvilDaemon, if the bot was just for help it wouldnt have a !hi command | 23:44 |
| GPhant | anyone know if the sound crackling problems have to do with the kernel? because when i search on google, for the problem im having, i get a new way to "fix" it every time | 23:44 |
| Funkah | Windows is a necessary evil for lots of people, but Vista is an unnecessary one. Stick to xp :( | 23:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Daft_Punk: when the channel gets busy it is hard and frustrating saying hi to everyone that comes in | 23:45 |
| kevin__ | question: windows has a feature (<windows_key + D> that shows the desktop by minimizing all active windows. Is there an equivilent feature/keyboard shortcut in Ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Daft_Punk: still dont abuse the bot | 23:45 |
| Daft_Punk | Pirate_Hunter, it doesn't look busy tho, does it? | 23:45 |
| Funkah | ctrl+alt+d | 23:45 |
| BM | gphant: Not sure if its true, but i saw something claiming that removing ALSA and using OSS fixed it | 23:45 |
| Funkah | kevin__: ctrl+alt+d | 23:45 |
| EvilDaemon | Daft_Punk: don't abuse it, it can get you into trubbel. | 23:45 |
| Daft_Punk | EvilDaemon, i didn't abuse it... | 23:45 |
| kevin__ | Funkah, ah! thanks! | 23:45 |
| zanberdo | much the way I can check the version of the kernel with uname -r, I had read there is a way to see which version of ubuntu I have installed, but I can't recall which file to look at... | 23:45 |
| NinjaBuntu | I am getting an error Message that i don't understand what to do... "You have 1 broken package on your system! Use the "Broken" filter to locate it." then the the close X button... I'm not entirely sure what it is telling me to do or how to use this filter. I got these error while trying to install update with the update manager. Any ideas? | 23:45 |
| GPhant | BM: ill give it a shot | 23:45 |
| GPhant | should i restart after setting it up? | 23:45 |
| Funkah | Very welcome! | 23:46 |
| BM | GPhant: wouldnt be a bad thing | 23:46 |
| BM | GPhant: No guarantees =x | 23:46 |
| EvilDaemon | The !hi command if just for new users who randomly appear, saying 'hi, is there anyone here?' | 23:46 |
| EvilDaemon | Not to entertain yourself. ;-) | 23:46 |
| GPhant | yes, i know XD, ive spent like 2 days on this problem | 23:46 |
| GPhant | i cant survive without sound | 23:47 |
| GPhant | brb | 23:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | NinjaBuntu: go into synaptic and use the broken filter to find broken package or try sudo dpkg -f I believe that should do it but do check with toehrs first | 23:47 |
| Ward1983 | if i click advanced for setting up grub, what do i need to type? whats the format? ?dev?sdX ? | 23:47 |
| J-n | Hi, is there anyone here? | 23:47 |
| Ward1983 | ffs | 23:47 |
| Ward1983 | /dev/sdX i mean | 23:47 |
| physically_fit | !hi | J-n | 23:47 |
| ubottu | J-n: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:47 |
| Daft_Punk | EvilDaemon, it was not used for entertainment purposes, it was used because I suffer from sever depression and the bot saying hi to me is preventing me from killing myself, now lets stick to on-topic conversations now | 23:47 |

| Funkah | While I'm here, I don't suppose there's a way to bypass alsa only being able to handle one source of music? Example: If I load a youtube whilst listening to amarok, the video will stop at 2 seconds, no sound, and amarok'll freeze and not play music anymore. Is this an Amarok thing or a general linux sound driver thing? | 23:48 |
| Daft_Punk | Funkah, use pulseaudio to fix that | 23:48 |
| Funkah | Daft_Punk: Thankie dee, will look into it. | 23:49 |
| est14 | Hi. I can't make my wireless work. | 23:49 |
