raulh | Charili`` if it starts going faster you should replace it to avoid a short cuircuit | 00:00 |
raulh | and buy a new heatsink | 00:00 |
charlie`` | daklan: yes, and I even bought a notebook cooler which its sitting on now | 00:00 |
raulh | charlie`` it might be the fan imo i think it shorted | 00:00 |
daklan | charlie``: also, have you checked whether your processor throttles its speed properly? | 00:00 |
el3allali | hello | 00:00 |

xomp | ThexLeopard, I've tried both smb://computername/share and smb://ip.address/share with no luck. Yes the pc is turned on lol | 00:01 |
charlie`` | daklan: should I just disable acpi? | 00:01 |
el3allali | raulh: it's fine now, it started with 480/340 , but i could set it to 1024 now | 00:01 |
kelder | how to automount a (windows) ntfs drive - editing /etc/fstab or is there a more user friendly way? | 00:01 |
daklan | charlie``: ah, have you tried google for info about your laptop and acpi? | 00:01 |
ThexLeopard | is your network definitely working? | 00:01 |
raulh | el3allali: glad tyo ehar that mine goes to 2032 :O | 00:01 |
D3RGPS31 | Anyone ever experiance problems with LAMP using htaccess files? | 00:02 |
etherealpanda | Max-P: I'm not seeing anyone complaining about the driver not working properly. Have you checked your dmesg for errors? Does it work after a restart? | 00:02 |
raulh | bleh, hear* | 00:02 |
daklan | charlie``: you can disable it temporarily by setting acpi=off at boot time | 00:02 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, yes, I was able to do this in windows prior to installing ubuntu on my moms laptop. | 00:02 |
Scooma | i have an interesting problem: My video/keyboard/mouse are locked up (8.04, all patches). I have lots of this in dmesg (I can ssh to it) : [68434.769838] [fglrx:drm_free] *ERROR* [driver] Excess frees: 2147383608 frees, -2147483558 allocs | 00:02 |
daklan | charlie``: see if that makes a difference | 00:02 |
N0_Named_Guy | hello people :D | 00:02 |
raulh | D3RGPS31: is it the server that wont recognize it | 00:02 |
raulh | D3RGPS31: or the browser? | 00:02 |
ThexLeopard | what firewall you got on the windows computer? | 00:02 |
D3RGPS31 | D3RGPS31: server | 00:02 |
raulh | D3RGPS31: it might be that the server dosn't use .htaccess files | 00:02 |
charlie`` | daklan: I googled the problem not with my laptop though, I think I just seen a page that looks promising, thanks | 00:02 |
uriol | hello | 00:02 |
uriol | i am from spain | 00:02 |
el3allali | raulh: yes it's possible to get higher, but it's fine, whene i'm working with many apps, i can set higher def | 00:03 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, I took my moms files from her XP laptop and backed them up on my PC, now that she has ubuntu I'm trying to pull her backups off my XP machine and it ain't working. I have no firewall on the PC. | 00:03 |
raulh | el3allali well glad it's working for you, cheers mate. | 00:03 |
ThexLeopard | are you running windows on the pc youre trying to take the files off? | 00:03 |
D3RGPS31 | Raulh: what else would apache2 use? where can i find out? | 00:03 |
Max-P | etherealpanda I will try to restart again, looks to happen in the same time the touchpad stop working correctly | 00:03 |
uriol | i'd just installed this operating system this evening on my computer | 00:03 |
uriol | :) | 00:03 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, no, I'm trying to access the windows share from an ubuntu laptop. | 00:03 |
uriol | now it's 1:03 am | 00:03 |
raulh | D3RGPS31: php files? | 00:03 |
raulh | on the home screen | 00:03 |
csilk | what would a decent swapfile size be for a laptop woth 512 ram? | 00:03 |
ThexLeopard | which OS are the files on | 00:04 |
csilk | *with | 00:04 |
el3allali | raulh: but now i have to save the configuration genarated by nvidia utility on the xorg.con, how can it edit it using bash ? | 00:04 |
raulh | on the home page* | 00:04 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, Windows XP | 00:04 |
Funoost | hhow do you create a new folder | 00:04 |
uriol | i find this operating system very good | 00:04 |
etherealpanda | Max-P: yeah, restarting to fix it is a bad solution, but it should help narrow down the problem | 00:04 |
superroca | hola | 00:04 |
daklan | csilk: depends on how you use your laptop. you can probably set it at 1gb for now | 00:04 |
el3allali | raulh: i'm new to linux, i still don't know lot of commands | 00:04 |
Schuenemann | Funoost, mkdir dir_name | 00:04 |
uriol | gnu-ubuntu 8.04 | 00:04 |
raulh | el3allali: now i'm lost there haha. | 00:04 |
ThexLeopard | and windows is running on the computer youre trying to access? | 00:04 |
daklan | csilk: usually a good estimate would be twice the size of your ram | 00:04 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, yeah | 00:04 |
D3RGPS31 | Raulh: have any links to help me set it for htaccess D= | 00:04 |
ThexLeopard | and theres no firewall on the windows computer? | 00:05 |
daklan | but anything bigger than 2gb is overkill on a laptop | 00:05 |
csilk | daklan, mainly software developement, nothing mroe instense than compiling really | 00:05 |
raulh | ill see wat i can dig up | 00:05 |
csilk | *more | 00:05 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, no firewall at all, even the windows firewall is disabled. | 00:05 |
Max-P | etherealpanda I dont know if there is a link with my problem, but looks my touchpad is not in the xorg.conf :S | 00:05 |
Funoost | how do you copy files | 00:05 |
D3RGPS31 | \o/ life is good! | 00:05 |
Funoost | its cp isnt it | 00:05 |
ThexLeopard | hmm | 00:05 |
Schuenemann | Funoost, yes | 00:05 |
ThexLeopard | are your permissions set correctly? | 00:05 |
daklan | csilk: your activities are more RAM-intensive. swapping won't occur that often. i suggest 1gb | 00:05 |
raulh | D3RGPS31:, can you show me your htaccess file's code? | 00:05 |
csilk | daklan, thanks | 00:05 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, yeah, they're the same permissions I had prior to installing ubuntu, just read access no write on that share. | 00:05 |
raulh | daklan good swap space is always below what your real ram is | 00:05 |
raulh | usualy 620 is just fine | 00:06 |
roukoun | hi | 00:06 |
etherealpanda | Max-P: That doesn't cut out randomly does it? Have you seen this link? http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops | 00:06 |
o0Chris0o | I am having problems setting up my logitech USB headset to use teamspeak, been at it for the past 2 hours, I have game/clan meeting less than an hour....I appreciate the help :D | 00:06 |
D3RGPS31 | RaulH: yes | 00:06 |
ThexLeopard | ok, you can either try restarting and trying again, or hosting a windows share on the ubuntu computer and trying to go the other way | 00:06 |
el3allali | raulh: well, the xorg.conf still contain wrong settings, i used nvidia xserver utility to set resolution, but i have to save that on xorg.conf, this way it will start with a good resolution by default | 00:06 |
etherealpanda | Max-P, It's got a section on how to configure the touchpad | 00:06 |
ThexLeopard | copying the files on the windows computer to the ubuntu computer | 00:06 |
daklan | raulh: depending on your computer's purpose, swap space can be equal or greater than your available ram | 00:06 |
Funoost | do you just do cp * [directory]? | 00:06 |
ryan_ | Can you make a copy of all your installed programs, burn the entire ubunutu OS to a disk, and Install that customized version on another PC. I love my Ubuntu setup, but do not want to reinstall of my programs on my work computer. | 00:06 |
raulh | yeah but swap is rarely used | 00:06 |
xomp | ThexLeopard, I tried creating a share in ubuntu prior, but got an error that I've no permissions to do so :/ | 00:07 |
superroca | sorry con someone help me? | 00:07 |
Funoost | if i wanna copy everything | 00:07 |
raulh | atleast for me it rarely gets used.. | 00:07 |
daklan | raulh: for example, dbase servers usually need more swap space than most desktops | 00:07 |
ThexLeopard | yeah i got that rofl | 00:07 |
ThexLeopard | hang on | 00:07 |
D3RGPS31 | RaulH:http://pastebin.com/mab0d01d | 00:07 |
el3allali | raulh: nvidia xserver doesn't have permission to write on xorg.conf | 00:07 |
xomp | lol ok | 00:07 |
jrib | Funoost: * won't match things that start with a '.'. So you will miss those | 00:07 |
ThexLeopard | xomp: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 00:07 |

D3RGPS31 | RaulH: k | 00:07 |
xomp | danke herr ThexLeopard :) | 00:07 |
ThexLeopard | no problem | 00:07 |
daklan | raulh: in general, any activity that requires frequent access to massive amounts of data need large swap spaces if your RAM is smaller than your data size | 00:08 |
el3allali | how can it edit a file using bash ? | 00:08 |
superroca | i have a virus in my parttion of windows and i cant do anything there, so can i clean the virus from ubuntu | 00:08 |

rblst | how can i get my microphone to work in Hardy with 82801H HD sound card? | 00:11 |
kitche | el3allali: well you can if the PCs have USB boot | 00:11 |
raulh | because ubuntu sets up based on the drivers the motehrboard is using | 00:11 |
purpleback | how can i find out what my network card is? | 00:11 |
kitche | raulh: umm your talking about Windows there | 00:11 |
raulh | nope | 00:11 |
raulh | ubuntu won't do it | 00:11 |
Schuenemann | el3allali, yes, but why don't you install in your main hd? | 00:11 |
raulh | you'll need to install the kernel | 00:11 |
daklan | raulh: of course it would | 00:11 |
purpleback | how can i find out what my network card is? :D | 00:11 |
raulh | it dosn't work on newer versions | 00:11 |
chuy_max | hey guys, is there an ntfsundelete equivalent for fat32? | 00:11 |

Schuenemann | purpleback, try sudo lshw | 00:12 |

uffo | is there somewhere i can get VLC 0.9.2 extract and run version for ubuntu 8.04. do not tell to use some sudo things because i know now that portable software works on ubuntu, just tested filezilla and Blender | 00:12 |
daklan | raulh: how do you think live cd's work? | 00:12 |
raulh | they load everything to ram | 00:12 |
tangirehv | hi | 00:12 |
Schuenemann | raulh, you're totally wrong | 00:12 |

* daklan shrugs | 00:12 |
kitche | demism: I used to use gtkpod but not sure if it works on newer ipods | 00:12 |
el3allali | kitche: Schuenemann : yes i have USB, because i use it at home & school, it will be nice to work on the same OS 'here' & 'there' :-) | 00:12 |
raulh | windows 95 ftw | 00:13 |
* raulh shrugs | 00:13 |
Schuenemann | el3allali, it's not USB only, it's USB boot from setup. Some motherboards (older ones) don't have that | 00:13 |
Decocde | Hi, Im looking for a program that can manage virtual disk drives and create Iso's. I know there is a command to mount Iso's as virtual drives, but that is in-convenient for how often I would be using it and I don't know how to make Iso's. I've already tried google, any help would be awsome | 00:13 |
daklan | el3allali: as long as the mobo supports boot off usb, it will be alright | 00:13 |
raulh | el3allali: if your computer can read usb's as a boot | 00:13 |
raulh | then you should be able to | 00:13 |
raulh | thats what they mean | 00:13 |
daklan | el3allali: some mobos don't support USB device booting | 00:13 |
raulh | check your bios | 00:13 |

uffo | is there somewhere i can get VLC 0.9.2 extract and run version for ubuntu 8.04. do not tell to use some sudo things because i know now that portable software works on ubuntu, just tested filezilla and Blender - so portable software works on linux and there is no argue against it | 00:14 |
Schuenemann | el3allali, well, then there's no problem | 00:14 |
Decocde | D3RGPS31: thanks, ill look into that | 00:14 |
kitche | el3allali: you just might need to tell ubuntu installer to install the MBR in the right spot | 00:14 |
coccobello55 | ciao | 00:14 |

Max-P | That's very strange :S | 00:15 |
Schuenemann | D3RGPS31, perhaps a PHP/apache channel would help better | 00:15 |
kitche | uffo: if you say so but sudo has nothing to do with what you want | 00:15 |
Max-P | now it works | 00:15 |
el3allali | Schuenemann: but about installation, i just plug my HD and process as usual (choose my extern HD)? | 00:15 |
D3RGPS31 | D3RGPS31: maybe! know the channel for one? | 00:15 |

uriol | help | 00:16 |
histo | If I do ls -l it shows it highlighted in green | 00:16 |
uffo | kitche: portable vlc 0.9.2 for ubuntu | 00:16 |
Schuenemann | el3allali, yes, and see where it says which MBR will be used | 00:16 |
uriol | how i open a bin archive on ubuntu ? | 00:16 |
uriol | i am trying to install google earth | 00:16 |
kitche | uffo: yes and there is no such thing | 00:16 |
daklan | histo: it's usually 777 | 00:16 |
el3allali | kitche: witch option do i have to choos | 00:16 |
roukoun | daklan: the code is ok for sure... i think that the problem is on the gcc or some missing arguments | 00:16 |
histo | daklan: hrm.. why is it highlight green? | 00:16 |
uffo | kitche: it is, filezilla and Blender is right on my desktop and usable | 00:17 |
Schuenemann | uriol, you can use apt for that | 00:17 |
awell | I'm new at Ubuntu. I was working on installing Apache server. I have some files in the www folder that I want to delete. How can I do this? | 00:17 |
kitche | uffo: yes they have portable apps vlc doesn't have the option | 00:17 |
el3allali | Schuenemann: witch option do i have to choose ? | 00:17 |
uffo | kitche: this is example that portable works | 00:17 |
daklan | roukoun: gnu libs and windows libs have some sort of incompatibility. is your source code written originally for MS? | 00:17 |
kitche | uffo: and your point being? | 00:17 |
uffo | kitche: this is future for all software and it wont damage main system libraries too | 00:18 |
Schuenemann | el3allali, it's like a normal installation. When it asks for confirmation, it says everything that will be done. You just pay attention to see if it will choose the external HD mbr | 00:18 |
kitche | uffo: if you want portable vlc then use this http://portableapps.free.fr/exe/VLC_TV_Portable_0.8.6f_Fr.exe | 00:18 |
uffo | kitche: it is windows thing | 00:18 |
kitche | uffo: ok your telling somone that already knows all of this so what's your point? | 00:18 |
daklan | histo: it means "restricted deletion" | 00:18 |
hale3rd | hi | 00:18 |
roukoun | daklan; the code is written for unix OSes | 00:18 |

daklan | roukoun: hmm, ansi code? | 00:18 |
uffo | kitche: i need portable vlc 0.9.2 with all libs inside | 00:18 |
el3allali | Schuenemann: thanks ,i'll try later | 00:18 |
daklan | histo: chmod +t /tmp | 00:18 |

o0Chris0o | how come when I start a download the original name of the file shows up on the desktop along with anotehr file with a .part | 00:19 |
kitche | uffo: unless you actually compile it yourself | 00:19 |
hale3rd | my sound doesn't work in vlc/totem. not sure what to do... | 00:19 |
el3allali | Thanks for all who helped me , have a good time | 00:19 |
daklan | histo: it SHOULD be set with +t already, so you shouldn't touch it if it is already | 00:19 |
histo | daklan: I just added the t but its highlighted green and that is normal? | 00:19 |
uffo | kitche: currently blender works this way i extract and run it do not argue against that, portable is future | 00:19 |
roukoun | daklan: no | 00:19 |
Schuenemann | o0Chris0o, probably it did not end yet | 00:19 |
jrib | o0Chris0o: that's how downloads work. the .part goes away when it is complete | 00:19 |
Politics | Is anyone here familiar with a bug in knetworkmanager using ndiswrapper that freezes an attempted connection at configuration (at about 28%)? | 00:20 |

uffo | is there somewhere i can get VLC 0.9.2 extract and run version for ubuntu 8.04. do not tell to use some sudo things because i know now that portable software works on ubuntu, just tested filezilla and Blender - so portable software works on linux and there is no argue against | 00:22 |
kitche | uffo: linux has always been like that you just compile the program in a chroot | 00:22 |
pen | the thumbnails are always 150% larger than other file icons | 00:23 |

HerrBrand | how is that posible? | 00:33 |
Schuenemann | HymnToLife, how can I know which ones? This thing is messed up | 00:33 |
uffo | kitche: atleast i have hope that more and more people will build more static software like blender and filezilla. it is future if computer is offline and software is usable in different ubuntu versions in future too. look how much windows software can be carried out to other computers, even military needs this type system. | 00:33 |

psynophile | Hello, while at the console, not GUI, I type my username and password, then my system asks me for the password again. After I type it again, it logs me in, what's up with that? | 00:50 |
Flynsarmy | In my update manager i have virtualbox-ose-modules-generic and k3b that are both greyed out and always there even after i update. why? how do i actually update them? | 00:52 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: sticky key affects the first password entry maybe? | 00:53 |
EvilDaemon | Flynsarmy Maybe it's virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r` manually in the terminal? | 00:54 |
psynophile | IntuitiveNipple: huh, what's "sticky key"? | 00:54 |
psynophile | oh, duh, sorry, you mean a sticky key | 00:54 |
psynophile | wouldn't that kick me back to "Username:" because the password would be wrong? | 00:55 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: sometimes a key will remain pressed and fire a second time. If you type your password fast, and especially if you have a mix of lower-case and CaPiTaLs, that can affect it | 00:55 |
Flynsarmy | EvilDaemon, 2.6.24-19-generic | 00:55 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: usually it gives three attempts on password, doesn't it? | 00:55 |
psynophile | IntuitiveNipple: Oh, I see what you're saying. No, it's asking for the password twice, it doesn't go back to the username: | 00:56 |
JuzzyD | No one can help with pulse? | 00:56 |
psynophile | IntuitiveNipple: Like this: username:<type my username>, password: <type my password>, password: <type my password> | 00:56 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: I see what you mean... on a console itself | 00:56 |
psynophile | IntuitiveNipple: yea, on a virtual console | 00:57 |
psynophile | IntuitiveNipple: I'm just worried it's a trojan or rootkit trying to get my password | 00:57 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: Hmmm, is the second password question definitely a repeat of the first? Could it be something else? Have you added addtional PAM modules for authentication? | 00:58 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: check /var/log/auth.log for clues | 00:58 |
psynophile | IntuitiveNipple: this started happening almost immediately after i did this: 1) Installed the system 2) updated 3) let it sit for a weekend | 00:59 |
IntuitiveNipple | psynophile: Does it happen when the system is first started and you get the GUI prompt? | 00:59 |
matt____1 | I have a LAMP ubuntu server setup, I'm wondering...is it possible to "integrate" html OR php with sql/mysql? I'm wanting to create a page to simplfy quering and such.

Anusien | None of my media applications (mythfrontend, amarok, mplayer) are playing any sound. The error amarok gives is "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers".

Damion1890 | /msg ubottu etiquette | 01:06 |
Anusien | psynophile: so is there an answer to this problem besides reboot? | 01:06 |
psynophile | matt____1: Joomla's customized db queries would be called modules, you'd have to code that yourself, if the db is totally customized. Otherwise there are some form/sql integration modules on joomla's website that might work | 01:06 |
IntuitiveNipple | Anusien: is the system using pulse-audio? maybe you need to restart the pa session server? | 01:07 |
matt____1 | psynophile: You mean joomla may do it? I'll take a look. So would I perhaps..with enough configuration, be able to open the joomla page, type someone's last name into a box, and hit query? Then it'd bring up the info for them? | 01:07 |
thethirdmoose | is there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves | 01:08 |
matt____1 | psynophile: A form! That's essentially what I want...i think. | 01:08 |
Politics | Damion1890: Fine. I'm sorry for using an explicitive. | 01:08 |
psynophile | matt____1: Yea, that's, unfortunately what you have to do. Now, drupal has a forms api that may be easier for you to work with, so you may want to look at that.. | 01:08 |
matt____1 | psynophile: Hmm...perhaps... | 01:09 |
Politics | But I've been dealing with issue after issue since I installed ubuntu a week ago, and now this is making me think I need to do a fresh reinstall, which would pretty much make me snap. | 01:09 |
psynophile | matt____1: It's kind of disappointing. I mean, Joomla can do ALL OF THIS STUFF, but you can't make a simple form to query a database? WTF? You know? | 01:09 |
Anusien | IntuitiveNipple: I have no idea, how can I check? | 01:09 |
psynophile | matt___1: I mean if I wanted to code it myself, I'd just write the whole frickin thing myself... | 01:09 |
Politics | Right now, Vista is looking like a gleaming example of excellent software compared to Ubuntu, in my eyes | 01:10 |

thethirdmoose | is there a way to change the beige default color of all the windows? Not the titlebars, the windows themselves | 01:10 |

matt____1 | psynophile: So I COULD potentially write a bash file using that? So I could write variables, just as push 1 for query by last name, 2 for first name, etc? | 01:18 |

matt____1 | psynophile: What exactly does the -e do? | 01:19 |

neutrinn | Enter text here...hy everybody | 01:19 |
psynophile | matt___1: yea, it's just mysql -u <username> -p <password> <dbname> -e <sql command> | 01:19 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: if connecting to a remote system you'll also need -h <hostname> | 01:20 |
matt____1 | psynophile: No..I think I could probably incorporate variabless...echo and read...and then get it to insert the password each time after typing it. | 01:20 |
psynophile | matt___1: if your database name is 'employees', it'd be like this: mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword employees -e 'select * from tablename where lastname=$1' | 01:20 |

Anusien | IntuitiveNipple: Anyway, if I suspect one application is hogging ALSA, how do I stop it? | 01:22 |
psynophile | matt__1: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 01:22 |
matt____1 | psynophile: but I could use $last, etc? right? | 01:22 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: if you can set up a VPN tunnel (openssh for example) between the systems, you can use 'mysql' directly with -h without needing to use ssh client. | 01:22 |
zonteens | Hello all | 01:22 |
IntuitiveNipple | Anusien: hogging alsa? what do you mean? | 01:23 |
zonteens | i'm new be for Ubuntu! | 01:23 |
psynophile | unop: I'm just trying to give him the general idea, hopefully he can take it from there... | 01:23 |
matt____1 | IntuitiveNipple: but that'll defeat the purpose. | 01:23 |
unop | matt____, $last wouldn't be a valid bash variable - but you could declare it yourself | 01:23 |
Anusien | IntuitiveNipple: I remember an old issue (and saw reference to it on a help page for what I'm looking at) that this issue seems eerily familiar to one where something is hogging alsa | 01:23 |

ZoneOUT | Can anyone help me with setting up and installing a wifi card. | 01:23 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: whichever method you use, you've got to connect to the remote server. Trying to keep the client-side as simple as possible would be my goal, since that increases flexibility. | 01:24 |
unop | matt____, $1 is the first argument passed to the script | 01:24 |
ZoneOUT | I've gotten as far as I have an exe I need to get the inf file out of but I can't get cabextract to install. | 01:24 |
IntuitiveNipple | Anusien: You mean where the dmixer back-end isn't in use and one application has exclusive use of the sound device? | 01:24 |
matt____1 | phxheat: I remember a bash tutorial...something about an echo "what is your name", and then read &variable..the echo Hello &variable..wish I could find it.... | 01:24 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: try unzipping it | 01:24 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: unzip filename.exe | 01:25 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: Sometimes they're cabs, sometimes they're zips | 01:25 |
matt____1 | psynophile: found it! Now All I need is several hours! Thanks! | 01:25 |
Jack_Sparrow | matt____1 see abs-guide in our repos.. sudo apt-get install abs-guide | 01:25 |
Anusien | IntuitiveNipple: I guess | 01:25 |
psynophile | matt___1: sure thing | 01:25 |

unop | matt____, you usually use read to get the contents of a file. i.e. read variable < file | 01:26 |
BeBoo | hello, everyone. i am having some issues with installing and using an nvidia driver. I downloaded it off their site as well as tried the nvdia-glx-new from apt. After enabling it in xorg.conf, gdm starts and reports it's in low grpahics mode or something along those lines | 01:26 |
BeBoo | can anyone assit? | 01:26 |
BeBoo | assist even | 01:26 |
KoN8392 | hello all | 01:26 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: do this: du -hs filename.exe | 01:26 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: if it's really small, it might not have downloaded correctly | 01:27 |
ZoneOUT | all I have is a archive manager.. | 01:27 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: You need to do this with the command line, can you do that? | 01:27 |
KoN8392 | whats a simple/quick photo viewing app for ubuntu? Gimp is too slow for quickly viewing files... | 01:27 |

austin | does anyone know how to install vmware on unbuntu 8.10 | 01:29 |
ZoneOUT | 7.3Msp39912.exe | 01:29 |
ZoneOUT | <-- results | 01:29 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: Well, that looks fine | 01:30 |
KoN8392 | cool thanks Scunizi | 01:30 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: do you have the terminal up? | 01:30 |
Scunizi | KoN8392: np | 01:30 |
ZoneOUT | Yes, | 01:30 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: Where is the file, did you save it to your desktop? | 01:30 |
austin | can anyone help me/ | 01:30 |
ZoneOUT | yes and I did the command at the desktop | 01:31 |
Anusien | austin: Not if you don't ask a question | 01:31 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: what does it say when you type the command 'pwd'? | 01:31 |
matt____ | psynophile: http://pastebin.com/m13d28e4a | 01:31 |
belkinhelp2 | i have an irritating problem | 01:31 |

grim76 | Austin there are several sites that are listed from google that have what you need. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779934 | 01:31 |
belkinhelp2 | i just swapped hard drives | 01:31 |
matt____ | psynophile: I was thinking that would work :(. Do you see anything weird about it? | 01:31 |
austin | anusien, do you know how to install vmware on ubuntu 8.10 | 01:31 |
belkinhelp2 | into a new system | 01:31 |
ZoneOUT | /home/<username>/desktop | 01:31 |
Anusien | austin: ah, missed that | 01:32 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: good | 01:32 |
belkinhelp2 | how can i get ubuntu to KEEP the monitor settings? | 01:32 |
Pici | austin: Ibex help is in #ubuntu+1 | 01:32 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: type 'unzip filename.exe' | 01:32 |
belkinhelp2 | it always reverts back to PnP | 01:32 |
austin | grim76, do you know how to install vmware fusion on ubuntu 8.10 | 01:32 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: change "filename.exe" to whatever your file is that you downloaded | 01:32 |
grim76 | austin: Never installed fusion. | 01:32 |
Pici | austin: 8.10 help is still in #ubuntu+1 | 01:32 |
belkinhelp2 | also, the graphic card driver always reverts back to a generic VESA driver | 01:33 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Put whatever specific settings you want in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:33 |
belkinhelp2 | how to i stop that as well | 01:33 |
grim76 | austin: there are free versions of vmware that will install just fine if you follow the site that I linked to you. | 01:33 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....going to take a look....brb | 01:33 |
ZoneOUT | can I post my results without gettting kickec | 01:33 |
ZoneOUT | *kicked | 01:33 |
unop | matt____, variables are used as $variable not &variable - and you need to put variables in double-quotes for them to be expanded | 01:33 |
Jordan_U | !paste | ZoneOUT | 01:33 |
grim76 | ZoneOUT: use pastbin | 01:33 |
ubottu | ZoneOUT: 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) | 01:33 |

psynophile | ZoneOUT: does it say a lot of files were extracted? | 01:34 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: http://pastebin.com/d349872b | 01:34 |
matt____ | unop: What? Did I really put &? That's stupid! | 01:34 |
Anusien | IntuitiveNipple: Anyway, do you think that could be the problem (seems similar, since non-amarok programs just silently don't play audio) and how would it get fixed? | 01:34 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: what do the -s and -p do? | 01:35 |
IntuitiveNipple | Anusien: I don't know, sound applications are generally well-behaved around me :) | 01:35 |
ZoneOUT | http://paste.ubuntu.com/48745/ | 01:35 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....a bit over my head | 01:35 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: -p "..." is a text prompt -s is silent (don't echo - for passwords) | 01:35 |
belkinhelp2 | how do I use the GUI to make the setting change | 01:36 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: ahh..nice. | 01:36 |
belkinhelp2 | also...i have 4 config files | 01:36 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: Guess it's not a zip. | 01:36 |
belkinhelp2 | and 4 configsav files | 01:36 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: notice the mysql query is in double-quotes | 01:36 |
w5_ | f | 01:36 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: and you already said that cabextract didn't work? | 01:36 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: that ensure the BASH variable $LN is converted by the shell rather than passed literally | 01:36 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....confi.failsafe i mean | 01:36 |
ZoneOUT | psynophile: so how do I get the inf out of it? No I can't get cabextract to install... | 01:36 |
austin | does anyone here know how to install vmware on ubuntu 8.10 | 01:36 |
belkinhelp2 | !xorg | 01:36 |

psynophile | ZoneOUT: You can't get it to INSTALL or you can't get it to EXTRACT THE EXE? | 01:37 |
ZoneOUT | If I send the file to you can you just send me the inf | 01:37 |
ZoneOUT | I can't get it to install | 01:37 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: sudo apt-get -y install cabextract | 01:37 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: Hmm...the command just goes back to the terminall..perhaps I should make it clear that I want to show the data in the prompt? | 01:37 |
Scunizi | austin: that's a question for #ubuntu+1 but for gp.. it should be the same as for 8.04 if you are using the 2.xx beta version.. for 1.x.x you probably won't be able to. | 01:37 |
unop | matt____, i would also put $password in double quotes, to protect against the shell expanding and acting on the variable. mysql -u root -p "$password" | 01:37 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: but i didn't even have to do that, it was installed by default | 01:37 |
DasEi | austin: free vmware ? | 01:38 |
matt____ | unop: I'm having troubles understanding the double quotes...perhaps a pastebin my friend? | 01:38 |
ZoneOUT | dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 01:38 |
matt____ | unop: http://pastebin.com/d349872b | 01:38 |
ZoneOUT | -*+ | 01:38 |
_Zeus_ | ZoneOUT: run that command | 01:38 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:38 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Is the problem just that you aren't getting the correct driver / screen resolution? What is this about two drives? | 01:39 |
ZoneOUT | then I get another error... | 01:39 |

belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....I change the settings only to find they have reverted back to VESA generic for the graphic card and PnP | 01:39 |
Bajoran | or whatnot | 01:39 |
belkinhelp2 | for the monitor | 01:39 |
w5_ | ppp | 01:40 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Where are you changing the settings? | 01:40 |
Bajoran | Its one of those ghosted silly simplistic pheonix laptop bioses so I can't see if the bios reads the cd drive | 01:40 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....screens and graphics | 01:40 |
matt____ | unop: Double check that for me please..im' not sure that the LN is correctly quoted.. | 01:40 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....system.administration.screens and graphics | 01:40 |
ZoneOUT | dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege | 01:40 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: try it again with sudo | 01:41 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: What version of Ubuntu are you using, screens and graphics doesn't really work very well ( it's not even shown in the most recent version of Ubuntu ) | 01:41 |
ZoneOUT | I figured that out ;) | 01:41 |
cok_yasa_kamil | j #ubuntu-tr | 01:41 |
ZoneOUT | so sudo is like su | 01:41 |
unop | matt____, $LN is correctly quoted there, with single quotes - but that's then enclosed in double-quotes - as part of the bigger expression. | 01:41 |
cok_yasa_kamil | #ubuntu-tr | 01:41 |
cok_yasa_kamil | sorry :( | 01:41 |
cok_yasa_kamil | how can join a channel? | 01:42 |
unop | cok_yasa_kamil, /j #ubuntu-tr | 01:42 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....Gutsy Gibbon | 01:42 |
ZoneOUT | thanks psynophile.. | 01:42 |
matt____ | unop: I don't see the starting quotes for it..? | 01:42 |
IndyGunFreak | cok_yasa_kamil: /join #channel name | 01:42 |
psynophile | su logs you in as root, sudo runs a single command with elevated privileges | 01:42 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....7.10 i think | 01:42 |
cok_yasa_kamil | thanks :) | 01:42 |
unop | matt____, note how this entire expression is quoted. "select * from Contacts.Contacts where Last = '$LN'" | 01:42 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: wait, so what's up? Is anything working? | 01:42 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Any reason you aren't using 8.04? It may solve your problem | 01:43 |

Bajoran | whats a good mounting GUI-based utility for ubtuntu? | 01:43 |
unop | Bajoran, nautilus itself | 01:43 |
_Zeus_ | Bajoran: it should do it automatically? | 01:43 |
mn | What is the default password for "su"? | 01:43 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....good question | 01:43 |
unop | !root | mn | 01:43 |
ubottu | mn: 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 | 01:43 |
_Zeus_ | !root | 01:43 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: the instructions that you're reading probably aren't clear, so let me tell you what you're doing. You're trying different compression programs on an exe to see which one extracts it. It's also possible that this exe isn't an archive or is some obscure type that you can't find. You're doing this to get the inf file out so that you can install the ndis drivers | 01:43 |
ZoneOUT | http://paste.ubuntu.com/48746/ should I do anything about this | 01:43 |
_Zeus_ | crap! | 01:43 |
matt____ | unop: ohh...right. But I'm not sure this is running correctly..when I run...it doesn't actually show the data.. | 01:44 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....i only have this problem because i swapped hard drives | 01:44 |
Scunizi | sort of off topic.. but how would I reattach a tab that I've detached in xchat? | 01:44 |
_Zeus_ | ZoneOUT: run sudo apt-get -f install? | 01:44 |
belkinhelp2 | its the same graphic card AND monitor from the old PC | 01:44 |
Anusien | IntuitiveNipple: alsa reload didn't do it, but alsa force-reload killed the processes holding onto alsa | 01:44 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: Just a good idea to make sure you clean up any errors that you get, so yea...do that | 01:44 |
mn | wow, thnx unop | 01:44 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....I dont understand why its not recognizing the hardware I was using before the switch | 01:44 |
Bajoran | So if a cd-drive isn't mounted automatically then its probably screwed somehow, and my ntfs partition for vista is also not mounted because my hewit-packard pheonix ghosting bios is keeping it from being read | 01:44 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: What do you mean? Is it the same install just on a different drive? Because that shouldn't make any difference | 01:44 |
ZoneOUT | will it effect my java | 01:44 |
balzac | t | 01:45 |
woli | if i move a WoW (installed with wine) to a 'Games' folder in /home, would that affect its functionality? | 01:45 |
unop | matt____, i suspect a problem with the actual mysql command - though i'm not very sure about it - I've not used mysql very much. | 01:45 |
ZoneOUT | I need java installed+ right for scho | 01:45 |
ZoneOUT | ol | 01:45 |
ZoneOUT | sorry my daughters messing with the keybaord. | 01:45 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: probably... | 01:45 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....its the same install, on the same hard drive put into a new PC. I am using the old graphics card and monitor though | 01:45 |
anom01y | Hi I have a p4 2.8ghz CPU with 440mb ram, it get really slow when I use firefox 3 or 4 tabs open, and kopete.. Im just wondering if this is a lack of Memory problem ? | 01:45 |
matt____ | unop: http://pastebin.com/m2530503e | 01:45 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: try to do sudo apt-get -y install cabextract now | 01:45 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....so there is no reason for it to do this. | 01:45 |
_Zeus_ | anom01y: shouldn''t be | 01:45 |
mn | unop: is the only difference between sudo su and sudo -i is that su preserves your directory? | 01:45 |
_Zeus_ | are you running other stuff? | 01:45 |
anom01y | no just firefox with 3 or 4 tabs, kopete | 01:46 |
_Zeus_ | anom01y: can you chack out the output of top? | 01:46 |
ZoneOUT | that last paste was the results of that. | 01:46 |
_Zeus_ | !top | anom01y | 01:46 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about top | 01:46 |
anom01y | computer gets very non responsive, you hit a key to type swomething and it takes 1 second to appear | 01:46 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....should i use the frame buffer interface in Configuring xserver-xorg ? | 01:46 |
anom01y | I don't accually have access to this computer right now | 01:46 |
_Zeus_ | anom01y: please come back when you do | 01:46 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Did you use screens and graphics on your initial install? | 01:46 |
anom01y | ok | 01:47 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: lookin but I'm not seeing... | 01:47 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....sure | 01:47 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: Just go to terminal and type 'cabextract' | 01:47 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....i changed settings around plenty of times for the past year or so | 01:47 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Use the default ( in fact you can generate a default config no questions asked with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh ) | 01:47 |
unop | mn, errm, i'm not sure if it preserved more environmental variables too - but you could say that i suppose - in any case, it's safer to use sudo -i | 01:47 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: does it say 'no cabinet files specified...'? | 01:47 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: pastebin the current script version | 01:47 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m12ead4ee | 01:48 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: or does it say 'command not found'? | 01:48 |
mcquaid | is there a rep with a newer kernel version for hardy? | 01:48 |
Jordan_U | mcquaid: Why do you want a newer kernel version? | 01:48 |
Bajoran | /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 01:48 |
Bajoran | would that work? | 01:49 |
Bajoran | if the partition was /dev/sda1 | 01:49 |
unop | matt____, try fine tuning the mysql command so it works from the command line before putting it in a script. | 01:49 |
matt____ | unop: Good idea... | 01:49 |
psynophile | mcquaid: the proposed-updates repo has 2.6.24-21-generic | 01:49 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: there shouldn't be a space between -p and the password itself, if it is on the command line try using --password="$password" instead... the other thing is, those quotes might be causing a problem so you could try "--password=$password" | 01:49 |
Bajoran | in ftap | 01:49 |
matt____ | unop: with no variables....right? | 01:49 |
unop | matt____, right | 01:49 |
mcquaid | cause i'm using this wifi usb adapter which driver (zd1211) has known issues in 2.6.24 | 01:50 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: I seem to remember that about the password... | 01:50 |
mcquaid | and it's had various fixes in 2.6.26 | 01:50 |
psynophile | mcquaid: enable proposed-updates, it might be in there... | 01:50 |
unop | IntuitiveNipple, that wouldn't work - the mysql command would see the entire quoted expression as one option/argument | 01:50 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: Oh snap! It worked. | 01:51 |
psynophile | mcquaid: the fixes, i mean | 01:51 |
matt____ | unop: It did work! | 01:51 |
unop | matt____, what worked? | 01:51 |
ZoneOUT | I've got a mess here.. | 01:51 |
ZoneOUT | yes it says command not found.' | 01:51 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: okay, it's NOT installed, then | 01:51 |
matt____ | unop: what IntuitiveNipple told me...about the -ppassword and quotes... | 01:51 |
IntuitiveNipple | unop: Yes it will. try it and see | 01:51 |
mcquaid | naw i seached updates | 01:51 |
psynophile | ZoneOUT: sudo apt-get -y install cabextract | 01:51 |
Bajoran | hi | 01:52 |
ZoneOUT | yes I realize that.. alright then it trys to install java and the cab and I get a text document | 01:52 |
Bajoran | whats the command to switch directory in bash | 01:52 |

unop | IntuitiveNipple, never mind. | 01:53 |
matt____ | unop: IntuitiveNipple Now...I just realized I hate typing in that long password..if someone ssh's into my system..mounts the db via truecrypt...I think they'll have an easy time figuring out my mysql password...so do you see any problems with putting the password in the script? | 01:53 |
user01 | everytime i do system quit the menus go away and nothing happens | 01:53 |

woli | have any of you guys tried chrome under ubuntu? | 01:54 |
unop | matt____, well, if someone else has the ability to execute your script - they have the ability to read it too - so hard-coding a password is never a good idea | 01:54 |

nubuntu | anybody know of any room that specializes in tiny linux distros, like muLinux? i have an old compaq that has win95 on it. on the back it says 'series 2870b'. of course it has no cdrom, although i have an old cdrom 'backpack bantam' unit that has like a parallel port, i wonder if i could make something boot from that. i've heard that old drives don't work well tho they have lots of... | 01:54 |
nubuntu | ...errors? anybody feel like getting hands dirty, or have any suggestions what i should try to put on it? of course it has a floppy drive, but i need help with that process too. not like i'm asking a lot, huh? oh, yeah, i have a pen and paper too. | 01:54 |
matt____ | unop: That's true...so then they COULD ssh into my system...but I don't see how anyone would read the script....is there a way? | 01:55 |
ldp | NO U! | 01:55 |
ZoneOUT | psynophile?? | 01:55 |
ldp | umm | 01:55 |
ldp | wrong channel | 01:55 |
unop | IntuitiveNipple, though, i am aware of how bash works | 01:55 |
IntuitiveNipple | unop: That isn't mysql, that is bash... which is why matt's script works | 01:55 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Try this quickly, quit dpkg-reconfigure and just run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.probably_useless_backup" then restart X, it might just work and it will use all default settings and autodetection from Xorg itself | 01:55 |
unop | matt____, do you give ssh users the ability to execute your script? | 01:55 |
Scunizi | nubuntu: net install... | 01:55 |

unop | mn, because sudo runs the command elevated (using your environment) -- so any files created by the app are owned by root - which is not good if you run the app later normally but have no read access over the files created earlier under sudo | 01:57 |
user01 | Batatoviskk, I have the same problem | 01:57 |
nubuntu | Scunizi: i don't know if this old box could handle ubuntu, tho, prolly not even xubuntu .... don't know about flux | 01:57 |

nubuntu | :P | 01:59 |
user01 | do you think it is a nautilus issue anyone? | 01:59 |
user01 | maybe i should reinstall it | 01:59 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: explain how I would use that... | 01:59 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: on the local system you'd do "ssh user@host scriptname password" | 02:00 |
adude | how do i get firefox to stop blocking images? | 02:00 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: password is stored in the variable $1 (the first parameter) | 02:00 |
_Zeus_ | adude: can you elaborate? | 02:00 |
poopuser | hi how can i make link between two directories for example /sys -> /usr/src/sys? | 02:01 |
_Zeus_ | poopuser: sudo ln -s /sys /usr/src/sys | 02:01 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: But listen to this= The Server and Client are are in my home...so I don't see a problem there...but I may access the server over ssh remotely... | 02:01 |
unop | poopuser, you don't want to do that | 02:01 |
belkinhelp2 | overkill | 02:01 |
unop | _Zeus_, bad idea | 02:01 |
belkinhelp2 | U_Jordan....hey, that worked | 02:01 |
DasEi | poopuser: if you really want to (uu) see: man ln | 02:01 |
_Zeus_ | onop: what do you mean??? | 02:01 |
_Zeus_ | that's exactly what he wanted | 02:01 |
adude | i think so | 02:01 |
belkinhelp2 | U_Jordan....but now my resolution is a bit higher than i had it originally set before the switch | 02:01 |
nubuntu | DasEi, my friend is very happy with his 'new' computer, thanks again | 02:02 |
unop | _Zeus_, poopuser, the directory /sys is special - if you want to break something bad, you've just done it with that command | 02:02 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Is that a good thing or a bad thing :) ? | 02:02 |
DasEi | nubuntu:the win-knoppix ? | 02:02 |
belkinhelp2 | U_Jordan....and under system.administration.screens and graphics....the monitor is set at PnP at 60Hz....and i cant change it | 02:02 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: well you can decide, but that is a way to not store the password anywhere but in your head. | 02:02 |
nubuntu | DasEi, ya | 02:02 |
poopuser | DasEi like i didn't done that before also thx zeus but ln -s dose not seems to works for me any other suggestions? | 02:02 |
_Zeus_ | unop: the folder doesn't even exist on my system | 02:02 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: Don't use screens and graphics, it's more likely to screw things up than do any good | 02:02 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....well no not really. But how do i reset the sreens and graphics option | 02:03 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....lol...ok | 02:03 |
nubuntu | gonna go search to try to find how to get at the bios on this thing | 02:03 |
unop | _Zeus_, it does on mine - the kernel sysfs is mounted there | 02:03 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: but I'm thinking along these lines...currently the ssh password is the same as the mysql password...I don't think anyone can read the batch file without ssh'ing first. Unless you see something I don't. | 02:03 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....perhaps its time to upgrade to Hardy Heron | 02:03 |
_Zeus_ | unop: no, i don | 02:03 |
_Zeus_ | *t have that folder | 02:03 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: You can change the resolution for your specific user ( won't affect login screen ) with System -> Preferences -> Resolution | 02:03 |
poopuser | thx ubuntu community u are helpful as always | 02:04 |
user01 | hmmm ubuntu can be installed without the gnome-desktop-enviroment? | 02:04 |

belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U...cool...thanks alot. | 02:04 |
simNIX | Im trying to do a netinstall of Ubuntu - I tried 4 mirrors now and all fail with error package efi-modules and libnewt doesn't exist | 02:04 |
Jordan_U | user01: Yes | 02:05 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple Do you see something I don't? | 02:05 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: it's good practice not to store the password in a script | 02:05 |
Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: np | 02:05 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U...so hows your alsa knowledge? | 02:05 |
IntuitiveNipple | matt____: here's a looping version of the script so you type "quit" to stop it http://pastebin.com/d2dc03214 | 02:05 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U...I also have a problem with sound | 02:05 |
DasEi | user01: kubuntu-xubuntu, and several less common surfaces | 02:05 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U...but this time it is an onboard sound, not the old card. | 02:06 |
unop | _Zeus_, please, don't be indifferent to his plight after running the command - if it's bad, you should advise against it - like when people ask how to enable to root password, you don't tell them how - atleast not in here | 02:06 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U...correct driver installed but i get alot of static and the playback is erratic | 02:06 |
_Zeus_ | unop: ok, ok i get the point | 02:06 |
pluto | unop ahh the prejudice.... ;-) | 02:06 |
belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U...is there a magic command line to get ubuntu to dump the driver and reinstall it? | 02:06 |
unop | pluto, perhaps, it just saves all of us time and aggravation :) | 02:07 |
matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: After I fool around with if fi statements for hours...I'll be sure to build in a quit statement. I'm going to make it such as this: 1 for Last Name 2 For First Name 3 For Phone Number 5 for etc etc etc. | 02:07 |

tuxy | what are the differences between opera and firefox for ubuntu/GNU linux? | 02:34 |
kitche | GroovyNoor: actually he is since we don't know your default browser so how do we know what command to use | 02:34 |
Makuseru | How can I change the user agent in Firefox or Konqueror? I was tryign to apply for something, but it said I needed Internet Explorer and Windows, and the User Agent Switcher plugin in Firefox dosnt work anymore. | 02:34 |
jrib | GroovyNoor: gnome-open or xdg-open will open an appropriate program. So for example 'gnome-open http://www.google.com' should work | 02:34 |
GroovyNoor | I'm wondering, is there a command that will launch whatever happens to be my default browser at the time when I run the command? | 02:34 |
kitche | tuxy: umm one is opera and the other is firefox | 02:34 |
mn | GroovyNoor: Sorry, you want a command that will start your default browser no matter what it is? (I really wasn't trying to be facetious by the way.) | 02:34 |
GroovyNoor | jrib, cheers. Someone with an imagination! | 02:35 |
kitche | tuxy: look on opera and firefox's website to know the differences between them | 02:35 |
tuxy | kitche: in terms of web page compatibility, which is preffered, or hopefully are the same | 02:35 |
kitche | tuxy: how are we suppose to know web page compatibilty since all the websites out there are built either to standard to IE standard or Firefox standard | 02:36 |

corunum | hey guys, I wanted to know how difficult it would be dual boot ubuntu and windows, if I only have ubuntu on my laptop right now | 02:40 |
Mixx | not that difficult | 02:41 |
Mixx | =D | 02:41 |
corunum | I read some people had trouble. | 02:41 |
JaseX | corunum: I don't mean to sound impertinent, but have you thought about using VirtualBox as an option or another VM? or is it outside that spectrum of neeD? | 02:41 |
corunum | but I have all my windows os disks and stuff | 02:41 |
coler | Randomly my computer (usually after being on for several hours) will lock up and the number and cap key will blink. The only thing i can do is hold the power button down, as nothing else seems to work. I do have two video cards, the on board which i disabled and an ati | 02:41 |
corunum | hold on JaseX, let me look up what virtualbox means :/ | 02:42 |
tuxy | no opera mail integration for linux? | 02:42 |
JaseX | coler, my HP Pavilion does that if the kernel panics, or my wireless freezes up. | 02:42 |
tuxy | or ubuntu | 02:42 |
coler | I have an HP pavilion! | 02:42 |
auli | can someone recommend a chess client with which I can play chess online (that means suggest some public servers too)? | 02:42 |
coler | What do u do? | 02:42 |
JaseX | Well what model do you have? | 02:43 |
pretender | in windows i have used cdrlabel to which reads directory's on a disk and automatically does up a front cover with all directory's listed in rows alphabetically. What can do this in Ubuntu | 02:43 |
GroovyNoor | jrib, gnome-open works perfectly for my situation. Thanks again. | 02:43 |
corunum | okay, I'm not sure what virtualbox does | 02:43 |
coler | IM not sure (in a different case. Something like "an" | 02:43 |
tuxy | i suppose that a closed source software like opera does not let email integration into linux | 02:44 |
coler | I can find out | 02:44 |
coler | it is a desktop however | 02:44 |
JaseX | corunum: it's pretty straight forward | 02:44 |
tuxy | ... e-client be integrated | 02:44 |
JaseX | It runs Windows inside a virtual machine... | 02:44 |
tuxy | :< | 02:44 |
dmsuperman | I'm trying to run padevchooser (for Pulse Audio) but when I run it nothing happens. No errors are sent to the console, and no window pops up. Any ideas? | 02:44 |
JaseX | Like actually install and run windows in a virtual drive/machine. | 02:44 |
JaseX | Alright coler. | 02:44 |
Flannel | tuxy: You can set opera as your email handler I believe. | 02:44 |
coler | is there anything i can do about it | 02:44 |
corunum | sorry im a noob | 02:45 |
JaseX | Mine is an hp pavilion dv6871US of the 6700 series | 02:45 |

JaseX | Yes coler. | 02:45 |
coler | seems to be fine | 02:45 |

mom_ | i think im going to have to reinstall ubuntu . . . it is all whack for me right now | 02:46 |
JaseX | I had issues with that and the 5100 AGN Intel wireless card | 02:46 |
coler | Is it bad to reset by holding the power button down? | 02:46 |
coler | yes | 02:46 |
JaseX | It isn't too bad, but it can mess with your hard drive's stability I hear. | 02:46 |
coler | sometimes the computer will stay on for several days, and no problem, then other times 5 minutes and the computer locks up | 02:47 |
coler | it doesnt do this with suse | 02:47 |
coler | I almost think its a video card issue | 02:48 |
JaseX | Can you private message me your lspci output. | 02:48 |
JaseX | and is this a desktop or a laptop? | 02:48 |

djaks | hi guys , whenever i play 3d games i get analog out of sync error ... any ideas? | 02:49 |
JaseX | !envyng | 02:49 |
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 | 02:49 |
DasEi | thx | 02:49 |
JaseX | No prob. | 02:49 |
coler | where do i find !envNG | 02:50 |
djaks | there has got to be a setting for 3d games | 02:50 |
JaseX | nono :p | 02:51 |
JaseX | you familiar with command line? | 02:51 |
JaseX | Or do you prefer to use Synaptic? | 02:51 |
coler | ? | 02:51 |
mcquaid | does xbmc have audio normalization? | 02:51 |
coler | I am somewhat familair with run in terminal | 02:51 |
Jordan_U | coler: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager | 02:51 |

JaseX | coler you have ubuntu or kubuntu? | 02:53 |

JaseX | ok | 02:54 |
DareDevil | si existe algun software o alguna manera de simular un ambiente grafico conectandose a una shell de linux? | 02:54 |
rexus | because my friend said the update is available in the update manager, but I don't see anything like kernel update here | 02:54 |
DareDevil | digamos que me conecto a la shell y quiero un ambiente grafico eso se puede hacer?? | 02:54 |
djbender | someone tell him the spanish channel lol | 02:54 |

JaseX | brb | 02:55 |
djbender | ty physically_fit | 02:55 |
Jordan_U | rexus: The only possible difference you would see would be things not working, -19 is a proposed bugfix, not a release with new features and has not been tested enough | 02:55 |
Roland- | no, this is xubuntu, cannot see preferences on the pager | 02:55 |
Jordan_U | rexus: Rather -21 | 02:55 |
Jordan_U | Roland-: You can use ccsm | 02:55 |
kjs | morning | 02:55 |
rexus | what if I'm willing to take the chance? | 02:56 |
JaseX | rexus... kernel-check I think is the utility... or that might be for compiling one's own kernel | 02:56 |
Roland- | Jordan_U, yes I can i just cannot figure where to add more workspaces corrently it only flips 2 side, no cube | 02:56 |
Jordan_U | rexus: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, enable proposed and expect no support | 02:56 |

Flannel | CzarAlex: Make sure the files (and folders) are readable by the www-data user (this usually means everyone) | 03:06 |
Ziroday | roukoun: totem /path/to/media/file | 03:06 |
Ziroday | roukoun: or if you have vlc installed vlc /path/to/media/file | 03:06 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: Folders being "readable" also means they need to be +x | 03:06 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, I did. Do I need to run the program in wine with any special settings or no? | 03:06 |
roukoun | Ziroday: and for pictures? | 03:07 |

ruth | is any old guys i can chat? | 03:08 |
matt____1 | I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? | 03:08 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, than you find the folder named .wine | 03:08 |
Ziroday | ruth: offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:08 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, Folders are 755 and chmod`ed +x. No results. | 03:08 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, delete that folder, and wine will be reset back to normal settings. | 03:08 |
ruth | how do i do that | 03:08 |
^Phantom | sup | 03:08 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: And the files? (755 implies +x) | 03:09 |
DasEi | SimplySeth:you can see all rooms on a server with "/list" typed in your messenger (no quotes) | 03:09 |
matt____1 | I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? | 03:09 |
Ziroday | ruth: /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:09 |
ruth | how | 03:09 |
JaseX | ruth type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:09 |
JaseX | In your chatbar ruth. | 03:09 |
JaseX | Where you type to chat. | 03:09 |
pen | does ubuntu 8.04 support xinput-evdev with hotplug? | 03:09 |
Ziroday | pen: afaik yes | 03:09 |
^Phantom^ | someone told me a couple of video editors for ubuntu | 03:09 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, Then how do I get it to run in a window again? | 03:09 |
^Phantom^ | and i lost the names <_< | 03:09 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, Yes. I'm receiving The requested URL /~mahoney was not found on this server. (with mahoney as the user) as the error. | 03:10 |
Ziroday | ^Phantom: kino | 03:10 |
pen | Ziroday, really? then does that mean I don't need anything in my xorg.conf? | 03:10 |
ezeki3l | hi | 03:10 |
meoblast001 | do i have a phone number with skype? | 03:10 |
meoblast001 | if so how do i figure it out | 03:10 |
ezeki3l | does anyone know if it's possible to configure samba in ubuntu that would allow root user to access entire / ? | 03:10 |
Ziroday | pen: not sure sorry, never had to something like that myself. You may have more luck with google | 03:10 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, goto places>home | 03:10 |
derek | i hate nvidia | 03:10 |
JaseX | meoblast001: you have to pay to receive a skype number | 03:10 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: I believe /home/mahony/ will also need to be o+x | 03:10 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, than hit control and h at the same time | 03:10 |
JaseX | Other than that, it's just PCtoPC | 03:10 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, I did that, I deleted the folder | 03:10 |
Ziroday | meoblast001: you do not have a phone number with skype | 03:10 |
ruth | join #ubuntu nofftopic | 03:10 |
pen | Ziroday, but it's unclear most articles I found are months old | 03:10 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, okay than, wine has been reset | 03:11 |
JaseX | The only thing I have found that allows free calling, is iCall which is windows. | 03:11 |
pen | Ziroday, and it's mostly archlinux not ubuntu | 03:11 |
Ziroday | ruth: you need the / at the front of join | 03:11 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, all settings are back to normal | 03:11 |
matt____1 | I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? | 03:11 |
JaseX | It gives you a number with an extension | 03:11 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, is that 777? | 03:11 |
^Phantom^ | i think one of them was cine something | 03:11 |
Flannel | !repeat | matt____1 | 03:11 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, I just ran a program, and now it doesn't go in a window, should I recheck it to get it back into a window? | 03:11 |
ubottu | matt____1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 03:11 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: no, 755 will work | 03:11 |
Ziroday | ^Phantom: cinerella | 03:11 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, I want it in a window... | 03:11 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, Hmm. It already is. | 03:11 |
derek | "cannot detect settings" only runs inlow graphics mode now. So big screen lcd unstable gpu awesome | 03:11 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, yeah, it should be in a window now. | 03:11 |
ezeki3l | hm | 03:11 |
ruth | this to mach for me soory | 03:11 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, it's reset to DEFAULT settings. | 03:11 |
JaseX | ruth. | 03:11 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, It wasn't, I tried it... | 03:12 |
^Phantom^ | thx :D | 03:12 |
Ziroday | !nvidia > derek | 03:12 |

Flannel | CzarAlex: Alright. And /home/mahoney/public_html/ is too? | 03:12 |
JaseX | type this... /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:12 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, look through the config it should say something about that | 03:12 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, Correct. | 03:12 |
roukoun | is there any tutorial about how to modify the xorg.0.log ? | 03:12 |
ruth | thank to all of you | 03:12 |
JaseX | as it appears. | 03:12 |
JaseX | coler? | 03:12 |
=== bfig_ is now known as bfig |
Ziroday | roukoun: thats the log file, you should not need to edit that. However if you want to you can open it in any text editor. | 03:12 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, Which config? I did, and I checked "emulate virtual desktop" and it doesn't work | 03:12 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: Hmm, and `ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ | grep userdir` outputs stuff? | 03:13 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, you don't want that :S | 03:13 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, nothing actually. | 03:13 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, Then where in the config can I get it to go in a virtual window? Instead of resizing my desktop each time I run a program? | 03:13 |
roukoun | Ziroday: yes i know that but i'd like to find a tutorial to learn about its contents and how to modify it safe | 03:13 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: Ah, that'd be your problem then. Do this: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload | 03:13 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, uncheck emulate virtual desktop | 03:14 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: You didn't have the userdir module enabled (which is what handles the public_html stuff) | 03:14 |
Ziroday | roukoun: are you sure you're meaning to refer to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 03:14 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, two separate commands right? | 03:14 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: If you just copy that whole thing, the && will take care of it | 03:14 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, Maybe I'm not explaining myself. I WANT a virtual desktop, so the program doesn't take the full screen. My issue was that I couldn't get the window up. | 03:14 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, wonderful | 03:14 |
roukoun | Ziroday: /etc/X11/xorg.0.log | 03:15 |
Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, well, might wanna ask around, as i don't work with wine. | 03:15 |
JaseX | roukoun: the file you refer to is just the output of X11 and it's output: i.e. whether or not its failing. | 03:15 |
HappyHater | roukoun, that's a log file | 03:15 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, Perfect. Thank you very much! | 03:15 |
Flannel | bobbob1016: You might have better luck with wine in #winehq | 03:15 |
Ziroday | roukoun: that is a log file. It does not edit any settings. There is no point in changing it. You just read it to understand it | 03:15 |
JaseX | roukoun: I believe you are looking to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:15 |
wers | for some reason, my system monitor is opaque now. hahahaha. it's the only app that i noticed to be like that so far. hehe. i'm using a murrine theme. any idea on how to adjust it? | 03:15 |
Flannel | CzarAlex: glad to help. You might be also interested in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions which will cover how to convert between numbers and letters and stuff | 03:15 |
CzarAlex | Flannel, That`ll definately help. Thanks again. | 03:16 |
bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, Also, deleting all of the .wine folder, deletes all the wine programs, just so you know. If someone didn't know to do that, they might be upset. I left the drive_c folder, since I knew this, but just so you know... | 03:16 |
matt____1 | I remember finding a "php server app" that allowed you to remotely control bittorent, as well as wget downloads. It has a really weird name. Anyone? | 03:16 |

matt____1 | xomp: yes...in terminal | 03:17 |
Flannel | !iso | xomp | 03:17 |
ubottu | xomp: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:17 |
matt____1 | xomp: do this: | 03:17 |
Ziroday | Desktop-Kyle: then please address. It makes it easier | 03:17 |
roukoun | JaseX, Ziroday: actually i had a problem with my grapic card (solved!) and i should modify it but anyway... do you know any tutorial about xorg.conf? | 03:17 |

formode | FAJ, I know with my 8800gt Ubuntu just poped up with a "Install this" dialogue. | 03:37 |
Ziroday | FAJ: what chipset again and what model laptop? | 03:37 |
creative2bad | does anyone know how to change the workspace in Thunar? | 03:37 |
bharani | audio not working in youtube | 03:37 |

JaseX_ | I forgot how to close a window in irssi that isn't bein g used... | 03:38 |
athleone | formode I have extra appearance, if thats what youre talking about. why? | 03:38 |
formode | Seeking a way to rollback updates, or a list of updates that have occured in September. | 03:38 |
bharani | audio not working in youtube | 03:38 |
Scunizi | JaseX_: is it /close ? | 03:38 |
matt____1 | lessthanx: NP. | 03:38 |
JaseX_ | hmm | 03:39 |
Ziroday | FAJ: please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron5100 | 03:39 |
matt____1 | JaseX_: YOu mean...like an app to give your ip a static domain name so that you can access it externaly with a domain name? | 03:39 |
Ziroday | FAJ: and http://cs.thefoleyhouse.co.uk/blogs/karl/archive/2007/10/21/ubuntu-7-10-on-dell-inspiron-5100.aspx | 03:39 |
JaseX_ | No Scunizi | 03:39 |
formode | athleone, Yes. Compiz has a habit of "screwing" with games that run fullscreen. Try turning it to none, and runnning the game. | 03:39 |
JaseX_ | yes exactly matt____1... | 03:39 |
JaseX_ | I thought so too @ Scunizi | 03:39 |
case^ | bharani: you need lib flash something | 03:39 |
DasEi | JaseX_:right-click>close | 03:39 |
formode | athleone, If that resolves the issue we can fix it easily. :) | 03:39 |
JaseX_ | Or a cron script matt____1 | 03:39 |
matt____1 | JaseX_: Takes a little configuration, but here: | 03:39 |
Scunizi | JaseX_: /win c | 03:39 |
matt____1 | http://www.dyndns.com/ | 03:39 |
athleone | formode: But... but...... Extra appearance is SHINY | 03:39 |
JaseX_ | DasEi: how in the world does that work on irssi? | 03:40 |
matt____1 | JaseX_: just registar and read...I figured it out in about 20 minutes...works like a charm. | 03:40 |
matt____1 | JaseX_: oh, and it's free. | 03:40 |
JaseX_ | Thank you Scunizi I forgot the exact way to do it. | 03:40 |
JaseX_ | :D | 03:40 |
formode | atheleone, I know. :) Don't worry, if it resolves your issue I'll show you how to keep it shiny. :) | 03:40 |
JaseX_ | hmm... | 03:40 |
Scunizi | JaseX_: google was my friend :) | 03:40 |
JaseX_ | dyndns? | 03:40 |
matt____1 | JaseX_: yep. | 03:40 |
athleone | formode Yey! | 03:40 |
JaseX_ | Scunizi: well my internet is lagging and I'm still waiting for google to give me results... | 03:40 |
Scunizi | JaseX_: kinda like /window balance | 03:40 |
JaseX_ | and there it goes | 03:40 |
FAJ | Ziroday: ty for the fist link; but it is really really outdated (hoary | 03:41 |
FAJ | ) | 03:41 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 03:41 |
Ziroday | FAJ: it is also dapper, the second one is feisty I think | 03:41 |
formode | Athleone :) I agree. Though I must say, I wish there was something other then Wobbly windows. | 03:41 |
JaseX_ | thanks though DasEi anyways :D | 03:41 |

TaL3i | Hello. some1 know what cause a error in dmesg like : phy0: not handling 0x02 type control frame? | 03:42 |
formode | Having random restart troubles, quite bad actually. Anyone care to assist? I am "Fairly" sure it's linux related. | 03:42 |
Ziroday | FAJ: hmm, are you sure you have a atheros card and not a broadcom one? | 03:42 |
matt____1 | JaseX_: That do for you? | 03:42 |
athleone | Damnit, Ubuntu keeps crashing on me | 03:42 |
Ziroday | FAJ: for atheros see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi | 03:43 |
athleone | They keep saying something about anachronistic scheduler cron and battery state or something like that. | 03:43 |
formode | athleone, How so? | 03:43 |
athleone | formode: They keep saying something about anachronistic scheduler cron and battery state or something like that | 03:43 |
Ziroday | FAJ: you probably need to compile the -ng driver | 03:43 |
JaseX_ | Yessir matt____1 | 03:43 |
JaseX_ | I think I found another | 03:44 |
huitan1 | i solve it. | 03:44 |
formode | athleone Ya.. Sorry, I dunno. :) | 03:44 |
JaseX_ | freedns.afraid.org | 03:44 |

greenmanwitch | Hello | 03:45 |
TaL3i | phy0: not handling 0x02 type control frame? does some 1 know what can cause this error? | 03:45 |
Ziroday | FAJ: yep I see it | 03:45 |
Ziroday | FAJ: try the madwifi link I gave you | 03:45 |
FAJ | Ziroday: trying sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules madwifi-tools | 03:46 |
FAJ | should work... | 03:46 |
FAJ | i thought restricted was default installed? | 03:46 |
formode | athleone, System ->Preferences -> Main menu | 03:46 |
Ziroday | FAJ: if that doesn't compile the -ng driver. And no due to legal reasons | 03:46 |
athleone | formode: done. | 03:47 |
FAJ | Ziroday: where should it show up, now, ie after restricted-modules is installed where to check to make sure? | 03:47 |
BladeMcCool | how do i make the new monitor stop saying "input not supported" and show me my desktop? | 03:47 |
formode | athleone, Now just add the terminal command to invoke it under the appropriate menu. | 03:47 |
TaL3i | phy0: not handling 0x02 type control frame? does some 1 know what can cause this error? | 03:47 |
Ziroday | FAJ: restart and see if it pops up in ifconfig -a or network manager (the little two computer icon in the top right) | 03:48 |
FAJ | ok ty brb | 03:48 |
Ziroday | FAJ: good luch | 03:48 |

greenmanwitch | Hello | 03:49 |
vexati0n | do Ubuntu (or other) devs plan on releasing a fix for nautilus accessing restricted Samba shares? | 03:49 |
vexati0n | it's getting annoying having to run smb4k | 03:49 |
formode | athleone, Then we can fix it. :) "Add/Remove..." and search up "Compiz" | 03:49 |
Ziroday | vexati0n: that is handled by gnome. Talk to them | 03:49 |
stgove | Does anyone know of any really good (free) ubuntu server side video chat software? | 03:49 |
stgove | I want to run my own private video chat server, vlc isn't what i am looking for... | 03:49 |
lan | hey everyone | 03:49 |
athleone | fomode: Now what? | 03:50 |
dr_willis | vexati0n, i find that often i just have to enter the proper share names/paths and it works.. Or i use the smbfuse tools to mount the whole network. | 03:50 |
danbh_intrepid | stgove: sip is not what you are looking for? | 03:50 |
formode | athleone: Click Apply, let it downoad. :) | 03:50 |
angela | i'm sorry | 03:50 |
formode | athleone, wait. xD | 03:50 |
angela | i'm new | 03:50 |
athleone | formode: which one? theres a lot.... | 03:50 |
athleone | formode: is it compiz fusion icon? | 03:50 |
formode | athleone, Ok, see advanced desktop effects? | 03:50 |
angela | how can i delete all the files and folders inside ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* on a dialy basis? | 03:50 |
athleone | formode: yep | 03:50 |
athleone | formode wait not | 03:50 |
formode | Athleone, Check that, and click apply. Let it download. | 03:50 |
Ziroday | angela: add it to cron with crontab | 03:50 |
athleone | formode I only see desktop effects. | 03:50 |
angela | how to do that? | 03:51 |
athleone | formode: is that enough? | 03:51 |
BladeMcCool | video drive?R i just want to edit a file somewhere so that after i reboot it goes to 1440x900 instead of whatever its being sent right now. | 03:51 |
formode | Athleone, Theres no "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (CCSM)" aption? | 03:51 |
stgove | let me go google sip | 03:51 |
lan | i'm trying to install 9.04, but gparted can't see my partitions. what's funny is that the partition used to have 7.10 installed on it, and i'm running the live cd right now, and nautilus can see all the partitions | 03:51 |
FAJ | Ziroday: as if we'd be so lucky ;) | 03:51 |
physically_fit | !crontab | angela | 03:51 |
ubottu | angela: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 03:52 |
athleone | formode: wait, sorry, my fault, yes there is. | 03:52 |
formode | athleone, Get it. :) | 03:52 |
BladeMcCool | is there a safe-mode? | 03:52 |
athleone | formode: kay, thanks. | 03:52 |
angela | thank you physically_fit | 03:52 |
Ziroday | FAJ: told ya, you need to compile the -ng driver. It tells you below on that wikipage. You might wanna try out intrepid which has ath5k which should support that card | 03:52 |
athleone | formode: pardon my inexperience and all, I'm 12 and I'm new to Ubuntu. | 03:52 |
=== vic is now known as Guest17442 |
BladeMcCool | in windoze you would boot into safe-mode when you buy a new monitor and it would stick it in low rez and then you could pick the rsolution you wanted. i cant do anything b/c the screen is blank after ubuntu boots now. how do i boot into low res safe mode? | 03:53 |
Flannel | athleone: Don't worry about it. We all have to start somewhere. | 03:53 |
formode | athleone, Once you get it, open it, then go under General (at the top) and uncheck "Unredirect Fulllscreen windows" | 03:53 |
FAJ | ziroday; heck why now lol. how can i do a terminal upgrade? sudo upgraded? | 03:53 |
danbh_intrepid | Ziroday: wait till the beta of intrepid before you suggest ath5k support. Right now, its sketchy | 03:53 |
athleone | formode: At least I'm good at programming XD | 03:53 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 03:53 |
athleone | formode: kay. | 03:53 |
Ziroday | danbh_intrepid: have had different mileage myself. | 03:53 |
lfaraone | Hey, is it a problem if I use w.ubuntu.com for the spec for a personal compsci project? | 03:53 |
Ziroday | FAJ: I strongly recommend you try compiling the -ng drivers first | 03:53 |
formode | Athleone, Age is no excuse. :) I'd be happy to help you as much as I can, but I'm not overly experienced myself, I can't even fix a stupid Reboot problem./ | 03:53 |
FAJ | ziroday; why? jw | 03:54 |
danbh_intrepid | Ziroday: maybe its fine then, I dunno | 03:54 |
athleone | formode: Kay :) | 03:54 |
Flannel | lfaraone: come to #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll talk about it (I'm not really sure what you're asking) | 03:54 |
Ziroday | FAJ: sure its your computer. Go ahead | 03:54 |
formode | Athleone, Terminal is so beautiful once you set it up right, same with Gedit. :D | 03:55 |
FAJ | Ziroday: i literally JUST installed ubuntu on it; i formatted the hdd on it... do you know the command from ubuntu to do a distribution upgrade? | 03:55 |
danbh_intrepid | FAJ: update-manager -d | 03:55 |
Ziroday | FAJ: iirc sudo update-manager -c -d | 03:55 |

Guma_ | I am thinking about installing latest ubuntu. But I have some questions about vitualization since I have to run Windows for some things. What is the best/easiest to setup/fastes VM software that can be installed synaptic | 03:55 |
formode | athleone, Did your problem resolve? | 03:55 |
brett | guma if you don't require usb support in the VM you can install virtualbox-ose | 03:56 |
brett | from synaptic | 03:56 |
Ziroday | Guma_: vmware is in the canonical partner repos and its easy to setup | 03:56 |
dinx | Guma_, depends. theres VBox, Qemu etc | 03:56 |
matt____1 | unop: Do you know how to make bash scripts loop? | 03:56 |
matt____1 | unop: if so, do you have a link to a good tutorial? | 03:56 |
FAJ | Ziroday: ty | 03:56 |
Ziroday | Guma_: but I would go with virtualbox-ose like brett said | 03:56 |
athleone | formode: you mean I can appearance extra now? | 03:56 |
Ziroday | FAJ: have fun | 03:56 |
Guma_ | Out of the opensource what is the best option? Easy to setup and its speed and stability | 03:57 |
FAJ | thank God for a live cd lol all i would have to do is reinstall hardy if worse comes to worse ;) | 03:57 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 03:57 |
dinx | Guma_, VBox | 03:57 |
BladeMcCool | going to try "recovery mode" and see if it shows a picture after booting. | 03:57 |
codernator | Hello - I'm looking for help on upgrading Breezy Badger ultimately to Hardy. Since Breezy-Badger is no longer officially supported, the automatic update no longer functions. | 03:57 |
formode | Athleone, I suppose you could call it that. That pref pane allows you to customize compiz. :) | 03:57 |
Flannel | codernator: You'll upgrade breezy to dapper and then from dapper straight to hardy. | 03:58 |
Guma_ | Is there ubuntu for x86_64. I see that there is only version for Amd64 and x86 | 03:58 |
athleone | formode: I made it extra and it doesnt work :( | 03:58 |
codernator | Guma - that's what I figured, but I'm not sure how to get the dapper upgrade started either. | 03:58 |
formode | Athleone, go to Advanced desktop settings and under General uncheck the "unredirect fullscreen windows" | 03:58 |
pxwebdev_ | how can I capture the results of a telnet session from the terminal to a log file. | 03:59 |
Flannel | codernator: first, you'll need to edit your sources.list and point your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ instead of archive.ubuntu.com (or whatever mirror you're using). This will still be for breezy at the moment. | 03:59 |
Flannel | Guma_: AMD64 is x86_64 | 03:59 |
pxwebdev_ | previously i used something like "script telnet xxx.xx.xx.xxx >file.txt but I can remember the exact format | 03:59 |
athleone | formode I already did that. | 04:00 |
pxwebdev_ | can anyone tell me what im missing? | 04:00 |
formode | athleone, make sure it's unchecked. | 04:00 |
athleone | formode it is. | 04:00 |
Flannel | codernator: Is this an Ubuntu box? Kubuntu? Server? | 04:00 |
formode | Hm. | 04:00 |
pxwebdev_ | that was wierd | 04:00 |
formode | Athleone Still the problem? | 04:00 |
athleone | formode yes. | 04:00 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:01 |
formode | Athleone Hmmm, out of my grasp right now (Trying to get something to work xD) ask around. :) Should be a command to turn off compiz when you run a game and turn it back on when you exit | 04:01 |
unop | matt____1, http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide/TheBasics/ - search for conditional loops | 04:01 |
IMaverick | how could i check if package xyz is available in the repository | 04:01 |
Nallep | How can I get gimp to recognize the eraser on my wacom bamboo tablet? I have the stylus working fine with pressure and the mouse works fine, but the eraser just acts like the default stylus and I can't figure out how to get it to automagically switch to the eraser. I have the eraser, cursor and stylus set to screen mode in the gimp device configuration. (Gimp 2.4.5 on Ubuntu 8.04) | 04:01 |
Guma_ | How close is next ubunto release? | 04:02 |
athleone | formode: Uhhhh. how do I ask for that? :S | 04:02 |
Floid | Hmm, is it me, or on any decent sized FS (80GB) will ext3 reserve like 20MB per GDT-that-gets-stored-with-superblock-backup with the resize_inode default on? | 04:02 |
BladeMcCool | how do i install displayconfig-gtk ? | 04:02 |
Flannel | IMaverick: apt-cache search [terms] to find a package name (searches name and description) if you already know the package name, apt-cache policy package | 04:02 |
athleone | formode: totally confused XD | 04:02 |
codernator | Flannel: Ubuntu standard | 04:02 |

greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:05 |
danbh_intrepid | Guma_: you didnt do anything wrong : P | 04:05 |
KoN8392 | how do I move files around in the GUI browser with Super User power? | 04:05 |
KoN8392 | ie. how do I run file browser in SU mode | 04:05 |
unop | KoN8392, gksudo nautilus #but be very careful | 04:06 |

DasEi | BladeMcCool:sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk ,sry | 04:06 |
phuzion | I have two machines, both of which are secured with good passwords, but both are shared environments as well. How safe would it be to use a shared key without a passphrase to authenticate between these two machines? | 04:06 |
unop | pxwebdev_, you could use script - see the manpage on how to use it | 04:06 |
unop | pxwebdev_, man script #i.e. | 04:06 |
Nallep | phuzion: does anyone else have access to your machines? | 04:06 |
KoN8392 | what would a safer way to move files around be? im trying to install a gdesklet, but i dont have permission | 04:07 |
DasEi | IMaverick:apt-cache search <name> or <nam*> | 04:07 |
xee | Hi, I have a simple question, when an application has two configuration files, one is system wide, in /etc/ and another per-user, in ~, if something is not specified in the per-user config file, should the value in the system wide one be used or what? or it depends on the application? | 04:07 |
phuzion | Nallep, yes, they are shared environments. | 04:07 |
phuzion | Nallep, some users have sudo, most do not though | 04:07 |
Flannel | xee: thats generally a safe assumption, but the app could technically do whatever it wants | 04:07 |
DasEi | IMaverick:could also use paketmanager (synaptic) | 04:07 |
codernator | Flannel - Still not sure if it's 386 or 686. I know it's not K7 | 04:07 |
unop | KoN8392, well, using nautilus under sudo is safe - just as long as you limit it's use - close the window down as soon as you're done | 04:07 |
Flannel | codernator: What kernel are you using? | 04:08 |
DasEi | codernator: install n run hwinfo... | 04:08 |
Flannel | codernator: (currently) see uname -a (you can just paste that output here if you want) | 04:08 |
danbh_intrepid | codernator: that doesnt matter... | 04:08 |
Nallep | phuzion: if you trust the users who do have sudo to not screw around with your other machine, then it should be fine as long as you turn off read permissions for others | 04:08 |
codernator | flannel: 386 | 04:08 |
KoN8392 | okie dokie | 04:08 |
BladeMcCool | Daesei: cant find either package. dont worry about it i am giving up for now too tired to deal with this inane crap. when you hook up a new monitor it should jfw. peace | 04:09 |
unop | xee, generally, options passed to the program override those in user configuration files - which in turn override global configuration files | 04:09 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:09 |
RyanPrior | hello, greenmanwitch. Welcome to #ubuntu!@ | 04:09 |
Nallep | phuzion: but if you can't trust the super users, then keep your keys passworded and use ssh-agent | 04:09 |
Flannel | codernator: alright, have you changed your sources.list to use the old-release archive? | 04:09 |
xee | ok, thanks Flannel and unop | 04:09 |
phuzion | Nallep, I feel like I can trust them, but the thing is I need a way to have this automated. It's for a nightly backup script | 04:09 |
codernator | flannel: yeah. http://old-release.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted | 04:10 |
hardcore | do all external dvd burners work in ubuntu? | 04:10 |
phuzion | Which will be handled with cron job | 04:10 |
error404notfound | How can I install vista themes in emerald? | 04:10 |
phuzion | a cron job* | 04:10 |
KoN8392 | argh! anyone know the trick to running gdesklets? | 04:10 |
Flannel | codernator: Alright, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard linux-386 | 04:10 |
Nallep | phuzion: look into making ssh keys that can only execute one command then log out | 04:10 |
KoN8392 | I've moved the desklet folder to the proper directory, however I cant load the file! | 04:10 |
phuzion | Nallep, Like, a specific command, or just any one command? | 04:11 |
RyanPrior | error404notfound: Are you trolling? | 04:11 |
error404notfound | RyanPrior: sorry? | 04:11 |
Flannel | codernator: then reboot to grab the kernel update, after that, change your sources.list back to the archive ones, and change breezy to dapper. Then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:12 |
unop | KoN8392, I would refer to the gdesklets documentation | 04:12 |
Flannel | codernator: After that, you'll be on your way to dapper. And then you can upgrade to hardy from here | 04:12 |
athleone_ | Is there a way to have compiz turn off when I open an app, and turn it back on when I close it | 04:12 |
Flannel | !upgrade | codernator | 04:12 |
ubottu | codernator: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 04:12 |
kindofabuzz | error404notfound, there are several vista like emerald themes | 04:12 |
KoN8392 | cool | 04:12 |
codernator | flannel: could not resolve http://old-release.ubuntu.com | 04:12 |
RyanPrior | error404notfound: Emerald is no longer around. It's been merged back into Compiz. Windows themes do not work in Compiz - you need to get one specifically made. There are several Vista imitations if you look on deviantart, etc. | 04:12 |
error404notfound | kindofabuzz: I can't seem to find them when I search in emerald. | 04:12 |
Flannel | codernator: Sorry, old-releases | 04:12 |
Nallep | phuzion: a specific command, you can setup a key to login and only execute a specified command | 04:13 |

athleone | there used to be sound when I played games. now there is none. How come? | 04:13 |
phuzion | Nallep, Awesome, thanks. I'll look into it. | 04:13 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:13 |
codernator | flannel: much better :) thanks | 04:13 |
Nallep | phuzion: make a script on the server to do your build and transfer files, then have the ssh key run that script | 04:13 |
codernator | flannel: 0 upgraded, installed, removed, not upgraded | 04:13 |
Guma_ | Does Skype 2.0 on work well on 8.04? | 04:13 |
danbh_intrepid | athleone_: a start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867737 | 04:14 |
Flannel | codernator: that doesn't surprise me. That was mostly to double check you were up to date (and those metapackages were installed) | 04:14 |
kindofabuzz | error404notfound, you have to look on the internet for themes, emerald theme manager doesn't download for you | 04:14 |
Flannel | codernator: So, you don't need to reboot (since theres no kernel change). So go ahead and continue (changing sources to dapper, etc) | 04:14 |
Flannel | codernator: Also, one more thing. once you get to hardy, you may want to consider using the -generic kernel (linux-generic) instead of linux-386 | 04:14 |
athleone | danbh_interpid: what does that do? | 04:14 |
error404notfound | kindofabuzz: ahan... I was watching a video tutorial on youtube, and that guy had it, so I though may be emerald fetches a list from internet just like gnome-art-manager | 04:14 |
RyanPrior | Guma_: There's a way to find out. :-) | 04:14 |
phuzion | Alright, thanks Nallep | 04:15 |
kindofabuzz | error404notfound, nope | 04:15 |
liza0_ | if a server has ubuntu server installed how easy is it to install xfce on to it | 04:15 |
danbh_intrepid | !tab > athleone dan<tab> will get my whole name I believe | 04:15 |
ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:15 |
error404notfound | liza0_: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 04:15 |
unop | liza0_, quite easy | 04:15 |
liza0_ | nice | 04:15 |
liza0_ | thanks | 04:15 |
Guma_ | Well I am thinking between CentOS and Ubunto :) I figure I ask people first | 04:15 |
codernator | flannel: is there a good list of dapper sources? my sources.list file currently only include the CD and the old-releases. I tried doing this before I came onto this board and totally hosed my system, presumably because I chose my sources poorly. | 04:15 |
kindofabuzz | error404notfound, http://www.compiz-themes.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103 | 04:15 |
danbh_intrepid | !tab > athleone_ | 04:15 |
ubottu | athleone_, please see my private message | 04:16 |
error404notfound | Guma_: depends... I like deb based, so my servers run ubuntu | 04:16 |
Flannel | codernator: Generally http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ (where cc is your country code) is a good place to start | 04:16 |
codernator | flannel: thanks for the advice on the generic kernel. noted. | 04:16 |
RyanPrior | Guma_: It should work well on both, I think. Google certainly indicated that it works well on Ubuntu. | 04:16 |
pxwebdev_ | unop, thanks that got me what I needed :) | 04:16 |
athleone | Sooo... Theres no script for this? | 04:16 |
athleone_ | When I play games there is no sound anymore. How come? | 04:17 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:17 |
RyanPrior | athleone_: What games? What changed? | 04:17 |
phuzion | Nallep, so, what you're saying is one script to make the backup files, one script to send the files off, and one script to execute the file sending? third script executes second, which executes the first | 04:17 |
athleone | RyanPrior: I used to have sound for Wormux. Now there is no sound. | 04:17 |
phuzion | And the third script is called in with cron | 04:17 |
athleone | RyanPrior and yes, my sound is working well for everything other than games. | 04:18 |
RyanPrior | athleone: Perhaps something is blocking the audio device. Does it work if you run it with pasuspender? | 04:18 |
Nallep | phuzion: well depends on what your doing, I'd just put it all in one script and execute it all at once | 04:18 |
athleone | RyanPrior: uhhh. what? | 04:18 |
phuzion | Alright, I'll see what I can dig up on Google. Thanks for the help, Nal | 04:18 |
=== FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire |
phuzion | Nallep* | 04:19 |
RyanPrior | athleone: I don't know what the command is to run wormux - but if it's "wormux", then try running "pasuspender wormux" and see how that goes. | 04:19 |
turtles | I have 3x disks formatted as ext3 in a mdadm array (md0 currently unformatted I think), is there an easy way to change it to xfs? | 04:20 |

DasEi | how to install dazuko properly ? | 04:21 |
RyanPrior | athleone: If you usually launch from the menu, you can use Alacarte (System -> Preferences -> Main Menu) to include pasuspender in the launcher. | 04:22 |
RyanPrior | athleone: In the long term, you should file a bug against wormux asking that they make it play nicely with PulseAudio. | 04:22 |
mn | What command can I use to see what version I got? | 04:23 |
unop | mn, version of ubuntu? | 04:23 |
mn | yep | 04:23 |
unop | turtles, not without losing data already existing on the array. | 04:24 |

shirish | hi guys, does anybody know how to enable the partner repositories in ubuntu | 04:25 |
shirish | I'm editing the /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:26 |
unop | Decepticon, it shouldn't be very hard - the same upgrade method applies | 04:26 |
Decepticon | unop even with my really different hardy heron | 04:26 |
shirish | I just want to know the exact line for the source package | 04:26 |
DasEi | mn: see also : uname -a, better see unop :D | 04:26 |
codernator | flannel: many thanks. i am currently running apt-get dist-upgrade on all the dapper sources i saw | 04:26 |

shirish | DasEi: can you paste or send me the lines I need to add in /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:28 |
unop | Decepticon, what does that mean to me? if you want to know your ubuntu version. use lsb_release -a | 04:28 |
DasEi | shirish:peparing pm... | 04:28 |

greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:29 |

sloopy | amicrawler, use a usb inet connection? | 04:30 |
katie_ | can anyone tell me how to burn music from limewire to a cd? | 04:30 |
amicrawler | sloop what do you mean by that | 04:30 |
hardcore | which ones preferred? | 04:30 |
amicrawler | i have usb yes | 04:30 |
sloopy | do you use a cablemodem plugged into a usb port, a usb to enet adaptor, etc | 04:31 |
RyanPrior | athleone: I don't understand the question. What are you asking? | 04:31 |
amicrawler | eth0 by all means | 04:31 |
Decepticon | unop i cant install prevu because of grsec and smething to do with chroot and mounting procfs | 04:31 |
athleone | Ryanprior: you told me to use alacarte. | 04:31 |
kavon | Quick question: if I update my ubuntu server via command line, will it inform me that I need to reboot for the changes to take place or do I just have to assume? | 04:31 |
DasEi | katie_:use kr3b or nero or... | 04:31 |
Decepticon | unop that seems significantly different from straight up iso hardy heron | 04:31 |
RyanPrior | athleone: Yes. If you usually launch your game from the menu, you should use alacarte to edit the launcher. | 04:31 |
sloopy | what is eth0? onboard ethernet port? | 04:32 |
smokewon | Hey there, im about to install Ubuntu 8.04 using the live CD, ive already got slackware and windows xp installed, im planning to install Ubuntu over the slackware partition, though the other day when i tried to resize my partitions using the Ubuntu live cd, i extended the windows partition slightly and after rebooting i was then unable to boot windows(using lilo that is), is there someway to safely resize a windows xp partition without m | 04:32 |
amicrawler | yes | 04:32 |
athleone | ryanprior how? | 04:32 |
sloopy | mouse is usb? | 04:32 |
amicrawler | yes | 04:32 |
unop | Decepticon, ok, who gives you this setup? an ISP or hosting service? | 04:32 |
Decepticon | unop a hosting service | 04:32 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 04:33 |
katie_ | DasEi: how do i do that im not that familar with Ubuntu | 04:33 |
Decepticon | i am wondering about the difficultiy ill encounter if i upgrade to ibex from this version of hardy.. | 04:33 |
smokewon | oh and does the live cd give you the option of creating a USB boot disk? | 04:33 |
Decepticon | and knowing linux i know its goign to be totally batshit impossible | 04:33 |
hardcore | which external dvd burners are most preferred? | 04:34 |
hardcore | don't wanna buy a bad one | 04:34 |
sloopy | try different usb port for mouse? i have seen this issue with inet connection that goes through usb | 04:34 |
unop | Decepticon, it sounds to be like you are using a virtual server - if that's the case, you won't be able to upgrade the kernel and other packages/modules that depend on the kernel version - so i guess that elemitates the possibility of upgrading to ubuntu+1 | 04:34 |
DasEi | katie_:nero (free triel, works with win-key) is at nero HP, or terminal : sudo apt-get install k3b | 04:34 |
DasEi | trial | 04:34 |
Decepticon | unop im not on a vps | 04:34 |
hardcore | i don't have a mouse, my laptop has a direction stick | 04:34 |
Nallep | phuzion: look into the command option for your authorized_keys file (read man authorized_keys) | 04:34 |
unop | Decepticon, but you really should be talking to your service provider about upgrades, etc | 04:34 |
Decepticon | hm ok | 04:35 |
hardcore | which external dvd burners are most recommended? don't wanna buy a bad one | 04:35 |
RyanPrior | athleone: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu | 04:35 |
unop | Decepticon, if you are not on a VPS - the chroot thing wouldn't make sense | 04:35 |
KoN8392 | What "type" of theme do I need to download to change the basic window borders/colors etc? I dont want to run emeryl or compiz because this laptop is so old! | 04:35 |
RyanPrior | KoN8392: check out gnome-look.org | 04:35 |
katie_ | DasEi: after i load k3b i can use it to burn the music | 04:35 |
vgambit | is there any way to make it so that if I open 4 mp3 files one after the other, each newly opened file will be opened in the previous instance of the media player? | 04:35 |
hardcore | i tried out gOS today, compiz wasn't on it so it sucked | 04:35 |
KoN8392 | RyanPrior: I am there. However i cant figure out what type of theme to grab | 04:36 |
DasEi | katie_:yup, install it and run from the apps menu | 04:36 |
vgambit | because right now, if I open 4 files, they'll have 4 different instances of the same media player running at the same time, and I'll then have to manually close the other programs | 04:36 |

RyanPrior | DarknessssenkraD: why such a long name? It takes up our screen space. :-( | 04:36 |
Decepticon | unop a dude asked me if "do you run a hardened kernel that would not permit chroots or mounting of procfs?" and he said to do 'uname -a' and said 'yeah you are running a grsec kernel' | 04:36 |

nevagonnagiveuup | Instead of forking ubuntu, and creating two competing distros, why didn't Canonical just combine efforts on debian? Canonical would have been a great commerical backbone to Debian, perhaps creating an "Easy" version of Debian. | 04:37 |
DasEi | hardcore: most big brands samsung, lg, toshiba... work without problems , or google for ubuntu harwaredatabase | 04:38 |
nevagonnagiveuup | as well as a standard debian | 04:38 |
unop | Decepticon, hmm - that's possible - but i can't really comment, only your provider can tell you exactly if it's possible to upgrade and if so, how you go about it | 04:38 |
hardcore | what about the cheap ones? | 04:38 |
RyanPrior | greenmanwitch is a bot that says hello every few minutes. | 04:38 |

DasEi | katie_:kinda files ? wma ? mp3 ? | 04:40 |
hardcore | is it a good idea to install alpha? | 04:40 |
RyanPrior | hardcore: No. It is a bad idea. | 04:40 |
Flannel | hardcore: No. Its alpha software. | 04:40 |
Ziroday | hardcore: see #ubuntu-1 | 04:40 |
smokewon | ofc, the defrag, i dont believe i had defraged before resizing last time, so that might of made some sort of problem, although because im actually extending the partition, would i still need to defrag? | 04:40 |
hardcore | what about beta? | 04:40 |
RyanPrior | hardcore: It's not a good idea to install until final release. | 04:41 |

ubottu | DarknessssenkraD: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 04:41 |
hardcore | oh ok wasn't sure. 8.4 beta seemed to work just fine | 04:41 |
katie_ | DasEi: they are mp3 and it says i need to convert them to waves | 04:41 |
hardcore | seemed like i installed updates every day though, in beta | 04:41 |
DasEi | smokewon:i would always do so, as it also corrects bad fileinformationns | 04:42 |
smokewon | ah true, ok ill try that now, thx for advice DasEi | 04:42 |
Ziroday | hardcore: intrepid talk in #ubuntu+1 please | 04:42 |
RyanPrior | hardcore: That's how betas work - stuff breaks, and is fixed, frequently. Unless you're willing to deal with constant breakage, alphas and betas are not for you - and thus, it is a bad idea to install one. | 04:42 |
DasEi | katie_:thats strange, tried to burn em as datafiles ? | 04:42 |
DarknessssenkraD | mmm nevermind | 04:42 |

mr_bmh | Hello all | 05:41 |
mtcage | how straight forward is the process of moving a win xp partition to the left(also being the xp partition itself is the second 3rd partition(left to the swap partition))? ive tried this before but windows did not boot afterwards | 05:41 |
HappyHater | brolly81, run gksu displayconfig-gtk and see if you can choose your monitor, or one similar | 05:42 |
mtcage | right to the swap partition i mean sorry | 05:42 |
hyphenated | octoberdan: yup. it'd be easier with a router tho | 05:42 |
mr_bmh | I would like to ask how I can mount my disk with the id f W95 ext'd (LBA)? | 05:42 |
octoberdan | hyphenated: Definitely, but why only "maybe"? | 05:42 |
octoberdan | hyphenated: In a philosophical sense? | 05:42 |

octoberdan | More useful would be for me to get xorg working... | 05:45 |

Gun_Smoke | octoberdan, do you have a crossover? | 05:47 |

v4vijayakumar | Hi, how to set gnome as my default GUI in ubuntu? | 05:48 |

DasEi | mr_bmh:? | 05:48 |
hyphenated | octoberdan: ya i hate crimping cables too. | 05:48 |
greenmanwitch | Hello | 05:49 |
Romster | octoberdan, newer switches and lan cards auto detect if they need to crossover for you. | 05:49 |
Romster | it's not likely you need to even worry if it's a cross over cable or not these days. | 05:50 |
Romster | unless you got accent hardware. | 05:50 |
DasEi | Romster: lan cards with auto sensing ? switches, for shure | 05:50 |
Romster | 'sure' | 05:50 |
Romster | actually good point on the lan cards bit. | 05:51 |
Romster | might just be the switches. | 05:51 |
Romster | i'll need to double check that. | 05:51 |
DasEi | they are | 05:51 |
DasEi | sure ? lol | 05:51 |
brolly81 | happyhater i tried moving the screen to the right on my option from the samsung menu, how do i move my desktop towards the right from ubuntu or anyone if they know? | 05:51 |
Romster | 'shure' is a microphone company | 05:51 |
hyphenated | personally, I'd rather just buy a router and forget about making a messy little network of just 2 PCs :-) | 05:52 |

octoberdan | My access to the web is limited | 06:17 |
ryan_ | what does that output mean. Is there a burner | 06:17 |
DasEi | _2: so do I, still gotta learn, but mr_bmh left in the middle the second time, now | 06:17 |
_2 | ryan_ i'd assume no write capability there. | 06:17 |
Romster | subhan, that would make more sense if you ran it in wine. but seems pointless unless your exporting it for windows users. | 06:17 |
mr_bmh | 2DasEI | 06:18 |
mr_bmh | I am here | 06:18 |
mr_bmh | Do you have any instruction for me | 06:18 |

subhan | menaing how to install py2exe | 06:22 |
_2 | i will state one more time, for the record, no one ever mounts a partition. only file systems can be mounted. | 06:23 |
octoberdan | DasEi: Looking to share internet connection with another computer by way of cat5, people suggested bringing firestarter | 06:23 |
subhan | py2exe is a python module for creating exe file | 06:23 |
Pici | subhan: I don't believe that there is a py2exe for linux at all. | 06:23 |
Pici | subhan: Seeing as how Linux doesnt use exe files. | 06:24 |
octoberdan | DasEi: What I'm definitely looking for is a way to get X working | 06:24 |
Pici | subhan: see also http://wiki.python.org/moin/Py2Exe | 06:24 |
octoberdan | Pici: Why wouldn't there be? | 06:24 |
_2 | octoberdan it would be cross platform for one thing | 06:24 |
jimmygoon_ | subhan, linux doesn't run on exe's | 06:25 |
Floid | octoberdan: When all else fails, use the VESA driver? | 06:25 |
_2 | i know that "can" be done, but why. | 06:25 |
octoberdan | _2: No, it would just mean that a program is outputing an exe file | 06:25 |
octoberdan | Oh, I misread what he wrote I think | 06:25 |
goldmetal | which is a good sftp client? nice w/ gui interface? | 06:25 |

goldmetal | usser, i am familiar with sshfs thx | 06:26 |
mr_bmh | Thanks all, it is very strange that in gparted show my sda4 is sda1 | 06:26 |

mr_bmh | I have done it | 06:26 |
mr_bmh | thanks alot | 06:26 |
danbh_intrepid | octoberdan: if you look at the link, it just wont work. The solution is to buy a copy of windows | 06:26 |
_2 | octoberdan and developing for windows withing linux is not cross platform ??? | 06:26 |
octoberdan | danbh_intrepid: It would take me quite some time switching between terminals typing it into links2... | 06:27 |
DasEi | mr_bmh:np | 06:27 |
octoberdan | _2: It's working accross platforms. Big difference. | 06:27 |
octoberdan | Well, I guess... | 06:28 |
octoberdan | hmm | 06:28 |
DasEi | octoberdan:did yourx-server ever ran ? | 06:28 |
octoberdan | It would require that his code be closs platform. The exe would not be. | 06:28 |
octoberdan | DasEi: Nope. Someone suggested I use different drivers | 06:28 |
octoberdan | Floid: How would I go about that? | 06:29 |
DasEi | octoberdan:which graphic-card ? | 06:29 |
DarkMage2303 | O.o | 06:29 |

usser | robelliott2125, backup ~/.Konversation or ~/.konversation | 06:33 |
usser | ruth, harddrives or cds/dvds? | 06:33 |
octoberdan | DasEi: But I need X to run that program | 06:33 |
DasEi | ruth : see !cloning and man dd | 06:33 |

robelliott2125 | Oh! lol | 06:34 |
DasEi | octoberdan:nope, it starts up next time you restart | 06:34 |
octoberdan | Where would I shove the Driver "vesa" in my config? | 06:34 |
robelliott2125 | talas, either or dude. But most recommend either terminal or Synaptic | 06:34 |
jdnewmil | anyone have recommendations what to do if the default gutsy kernel won't boot? I am tired of manually selecting an old kernel, but am leery of upgrading to hardy until things are working reasonably well... | 06:34 |
talas | ok, thanks | 06:35 |
talas | and synaptic will not resolve dependencies for me, it seems | 06:35 |
_2 | talas synaptic. | 06:35 |
octoberdan | DasEi: It's gtk based, gtk needs xserver running. | 06:35 |
octoberdan | DasEi: I just tried to make sure | 06:35 |
DasEi | jdnewmil:I think hardy is stable... | 06:36 |
zonteens | i have problem | 06:36 |
DasEi | octoberdanyou tried already ? | 06:36 |

DasEi | octoberdan: you tried already ? | 06:36 |
octoberdan | DasEi: displayconfig-gtk? Yes, it needs X running | 06:36 |

DasEi | octoberdan: edit xorg.conf (backup before) manually , then... | 06:38 |
octoberdan | VESA drivers work! | 06:38 |
octoberdan | DasEi: Just tried that, worked :-) | 06:39 |
_2 | ruth if size is == then you can use dd if not you need something that can handle size differances without breaking filesystems. | 06:39 |

Gun_Smoke | n838901, isn't sftp just a client? And wouldn't the jail config need to be done on the server? | 06:48 |
n838901 | gunsmoke: sorry for the confusion. sftp-server is what i am referring too | 06:49 |
n838901 | sftp-server puts them in the '/' of the system rather than their home directory | 06:50 |
Gun_Smoke | well looking briefly over the man page, | 06:50 |
_2 | scponly - Restricts the commands available to scp- and sftp-users | 06:51 |

Flannel | n838901: What on earth is sftp-server? | 06:51 |
Flannel | n838901: Why not just use openssh-server? | 06:51 |
_2 | maybe he's refering to vsftpd - The Very Secure FTP Daemon ? | 06:51 |
Gun_Smoke | n838901, it seems that sftp does not call directly to sftp-server instead to sshd, so I'd look there.. | 06:51 |
n838901 | Flannel: sftp-server is a subsystem of openssh | 06:52 |
=== Starnestommy is now known as sheep |

Gun_Smoke | I don't know when I installed.. It was to a fresh 8.04 server.. didn't have an issue. | 06:59 |
jim_p | BeBoo: if you have set its out put to PAL, change it to NTSC and vice versa and you will get colors | 07:00 |
Dabbu | I have a USB modem and it is well detected....how should i proceed to connect to ninternet.It is a Dial up | 07:01 |
_2 | yeah i don't think he'll have an issue with it Gun_Smoke, but i was testing with them all and iirc, installing proftpd or vsftpd removes other *ftpd's | 07:01 |
BeBoo | jim_p: I an using NTSC-M, i also tried NTSC-J, both give the same result. I tried a few PAL options and my TV flickers but the image is still B&W | 07:01 |
Gun_Smoke | Good :D | 07:01 |
jim_p | Dabbu: if you are on gnome, double click the network icon on the tray anda window will pop up. Select ppp connection from there and i suppose you know the rest | 07:02 |

Warning: This option has security implications, especially if the users have upload permission, or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put local users in chroot() jails. | 07:13 |

Quartermaster1 | can someone tell me the proper way to burn an Ubuntu cd iso with nero. My way errors out before installation. | 07:15 |
IntoxicKat | Good night! See you! | 07:15 |
Kalamansi | hello how to convert mpeg / 3gp movies to avi?(ubuntu 8.04 kde desktop) | 07:15 |
TiMiDo | Quartermaster1, k3b | 07:15 |
CorbinFox | quartermaster1: must it be nero? try brasero | 07:15 |
vaportrail123 | can some one help me mount a nfts drive | 07:15 |
aji | Pici: 7.04 | 07:15 |
jim_p_busy | Kalamansi: you can use avidemux | 07:15 |
_2 | unop so it's a bug then ? err i mean a "feature" cause you can NOT use su to switch to a passwordless account. except as "$UID=0" | 07:15 |
Quartermaster1 | ok never heard of it | 07:15 |
TiMiDo | vaportrail123, sudo mount -t vfat /device /mount point | 07:15 |
jdnewmil | Floid: why, because no-one talks about gutsy anymore? | 07:15 |
Floid | Quartermaster: They make cdrecord and someone's made a nice GUI for Windows. | 07:15 |
unop | Kalamansi, have a look at ffmpeg or mencoder | 07:15 |
Pici | aji: Ask your question again to everyone with the correct version. | 07:15 |
vaportrail123 | well this is what happens when i try | 07:15 |

jim_p_busy | vaportrail123: what is tha problem with mounting? | 07:15 |
vaportrail123 | wheres pastbin | 07:16 |
Quartermaster1 | dose it come with fedora or debian? | 07:16 |
vaportrail123 | !pastebin | 07:16 |
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) | 07:16 |
Floid | jdnewmil: Well, I pretty much skipped it so no obvious things come to mind. | 07:16 |
Timberwolf5578 | thanks | 07:16 |
TiMiDo | Quartermaster1, ?? | 07:16 |
vaportrail123 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/48801/ | 07:16 |
jim_p_busy | Quartermaster1: you do have the .iso file? then you can right click it and select burn on disk | 07:16 |
Floid | jdnewmil: But does the Hardy livecd work okay on that hardware? | 07:17 |
jdnewmil | Floid: ah. Well, maybe I need to find a #grub channel... | 07:17 |
unop | _2, the same goes for sudo - if you 'disable' an account, there is no way to become that user unless you are root first | 07:17 |

Timberwolf5578 | I downloaded gnome 2 themes and GTK 2 metacity themes from the Package Manager. What's the difference between the two? | 07:17 |
jim_p_busy | Cheeky: i think enything without a guy will run | 07:17 |
_2 | unop no i'm not talking about a disabled account. i'm talking passwordless login without a password | 07:17 |

Daft_Punk | where can i go for support on tint2 | 07:17 |
Cheeky | jim_p_busy: a gui ..or guy >? | 07:18 |
jim_p_busy | Timberwolf5578: metacity is the window border and the title, gtk is the rest that is inside that window | 07:18 |
jdnewmil | Floid: I dunno... I will check. bbl | 07:18 |
Kalamansi | unop : is there a GUI video converter? | 07:18 |
vaportrail123 | it says the folloiwing | 07:18 |
Timberwolf5578 | ok thanks | 07:18 |
_2 | unop i can login and not be prompted for a password but to try to switch to that account from another user account, always prompts and then fails! | 07:18 |
jim_p_busy | Cheeky: yea i meant gui lmao | 07:18 |
unop | Kalamansi, there are front-ends to ffmpeg, sure - but ask me to name one and i can't :) | 07:18 |
Timberwolf5578 | I only got like 4 more themes total. Does that sound right? | 07:18 |
Daft_Punk | a gui guy | 07:19 |
jim_p_busy | Kalamansi: i told you... avidemux | 07:19 |
jim_p_busy | lol | 07:19 |
Cheeky | lol | 07:19 |
aji | HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 7.04(Floid: i am back to present ). Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM :) | 07:19 |

ZorbaTHut | weird issue: I've got an ubuntu VM inside VMware. When I change the ethernet card's mac address, Ubuntu loses it entirely - it stops showing up in ifconfig. Is there some standard way I can say "hey, dude, go look for an ethernet card, you should have one", or is there something weirder going on? | 07:20 |
jim_p_busy | Cheeky: yes. do your jobs demand high cpu power? | 07:20 |
FAJ | i i am using intrepid ibex; because of the ath5k support, but it seems not to be working; even though it says it connects. i asked there, to no avail... so am asking here | 07:20 |
nevagonnagiveuup | any know a good Kanji recognition ( Chinese Character OCR software ) for linux? | 07:20 |
unop | _2, on most unices - deleting the password from an account is as good as disabling the account, because most systems are set to not allow a user to log on with a blank password (for obvious security reasons) - and it he can't log on, it makes no sense for the system to be usable anyhow - which probably explains why su (and perhaps sudo too) behave like this for you | 07:20 |
Daft_Punk | buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, melt, upgrade it | 07:21 |
jim_p_busy | ZorbaTHut: why change the mac address? | 07:21 |
unop | _2, why don't you just set a password and use sudo instead - it can be configured not to prompt for a password - if dealing with passwords is such an issue for you | 07:21 |
Cheeky | jim_p_busy: well iam just learning SQL right now .. and MYSQL and soon ill start to make a project of som sort after i learn .. mind you i got this machie buy driving around the university dumpster | 07:21 |
ZorbaTHut | jim, because I'm making a series of VMs based off the same preconfigured instance, and identical mac addresses = bad | 07:22 |
_2 | unop why don't i just use all default settings.... i thought it would be obvious, i don't like default. | 07:22 |
unop | _2, this is far from default | 07:22 |
Daft_Punk | can you install solaris (sun OS) on virtualbox? | 07:22 |
vaportrail123 | $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,1) failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': operation not supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. choose one action: choice 1: if you have window then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'safely remove hardware' icon in the windows takebar then shutdown windows cleanly. choice 2: if you don't have windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsi | 07:22 |
jim_p_busy | Cheeky: then i think you should be fine. you need to get good at command line though | 07:22 |
ZorbaTHut | so I make a copy, and tell vmware to generate new unique info for the VM, and it makes a new mac address. for some reason this is the first time this process has ever failed :) | 07:22 |
vaportrail123 | christ... i just typed that all out... | 07:23 |
Pici | Daft_Punk: Try asking in #vbox, its not really an Ubuntu support issue :) | 07:23 |
unop | _2, and if there are conveniences offered - take them, instead of making life difficult for yourself | 07:23 |
vaportrail123 | but yeah, every time i try to use the drive it gives me that | 07:23 |
_2 | unop i'm not the only one that has done passwd -d username | 07:23 |
vaportrail123 | i tried the command in terminal, but it didnt work | 07:23 |
jim_p_busy | vaportrail123: the drive was not "safely removed" on a windows pc. put it on a win pc and safely remove it | 07:23 |
Cheeky | jim_p_busy: yeah man .. i have been doing it for the lkast week ever since i swicthed to ubuntu | 07:23 |
vaportrail123 | i did | 07:23 |
vaportrail123 | i even format | 07:23 |
unop | _2, yes indeed, and you aren't the only one to run into trouble after that - sudo to the rescue | 07:23 |
vaportrail123 | *even formatted it | 07:23 |
Kalamansi | jim_p_busy : after downloading and double click the .deb i get error "Error Dependency is not suitable :avidemux" | 07:23 |

Kalamansi | jim_p_busy : after downloading and double click the .deb i get error "Error Dependency is not suitable :avidemux" | 07:24 |
vaportrail123 | any ideas? | 07:24 |
Daft_Punk | aster!sk@mpersand | 07:24 |
_2 | unop thanks for the time of day though. | 07:24 |
jim_p_busy | you need to dl it only from the repo. this is the only way for the dependency stuff to be cheked | 07:24 |
jim_p_busy | Kalamansi: you need to dl it only from the repo. this is the only way for the dependency stuff to be cheked | 07:24 |
vaportrail123 | i tried to formatt it to something other than ntfs but it wouldnt let me on my pc | 07:25 |
Quartermaster1 | sorry I didn't get back to you guys , I was and still am trying to burn the iso | 07:25 |
Cheeky | jim_p_busy: should i run .. server verision of ubuntyu ? | 07:25 |
usser | ZorbaTHut, i know virtualbox allows you to change the mac address of your guest os surely vmware should have something similar so u wont have to "physically" do it on your guest OS | 07:25 |
Kalamansi | jim_p_how to dl it from the repo? | 07:25 |
ZorbaTHut | usser, no, it does. when I use that functionality, eth0 goes away | 07:25 |
unop | vaportrail123, the ntfsfix utility from the ntfsprogs package could help you | 07:25 |
ZorbaTHut | I'm doing the right thing on vmware, ubuntu is just losing track of the ethernet card | 07:25 |
jim_p_busy | Cheeky: server only | 07:25 |
vaportrail123 | how do i use that? | 07:25 |
Daft_Punk | Pici, i did ask in vbox but no one answer so can I ask in here | 07:25 |
_2 | unop heh one final note, my ssystem is so non-default that sudo is totally useless. whole system is "nosuid" (and yes i tested to see if that was why su was acting that way, it's not.) | 07:26 |
Pici | Daft_Punk: Its not really on topic for this channel. | 07:26 |
usser | ZorbaTHut, oh i see. dont know then sorry | 07:26 |
Daft_Punk | Pici, it sort of is related | 07:26 |
unop | _2, ahh, you're agentBob from #debian earlier on?? | 07:26 |

Agent_bob | unop idk. | 07:27 |
jim_p_busy | Cheeky: its old so i dont think it wont be compatible | 07:27 |
Agent_bob | unop i just asked why, and you did answer. thank you. | 07:28 |

ceil420 | krish, wish i knew :x it's apparently not plug'n'play in Debian like my mp3 player is | 07:32 |
bmoc | fairly simple for some of you probably. I went about installing ubuntu on my ntfs drive, with the standard "30 gig setup". (instead of making new partitions for it). Is there a way to enlarge the 30 gig's of space its sitting on, without starting over? its on a 320gig drive. | 07:33 |
Agent_bob | !medibuntu > jim_p_busy | 07:33 |
ubottu | jim_p_busy, please see my private message | 07:33 |
Agent_bob | bmoc you could make a larger file and migrate to it i guess.... there might even be a way to grow the fs-file.... | 07:35 |
Agent_bob | the scba of the filesystem in a file is something i haven't actually played with. | 07:36 |
bmoc | Agent_bob, was a huge mistake on my part... I shoulda just wiped windows off... i dont care to start over, but i havn't booted into it in over 3 months. been trying to just save/work off the big drives space(/host/) but i'd love to be able to work "better" out of my home directory | 07:37 |
bmoc | thanks though. | 07:37 |
Agent_bob | bmoc you do know that linux by nature can mount other file systems within it's own ? i.e. make another large file/filesystem and mount it on /home | 07:38 |
Razerblader | what virtual os is the big one? | 07:38 |
kindofabuzz | Big Virtual OS | 07:39 |
kindofabuzz | =) | 07:39 |
Razerblader | kindofabuzz: vmware, or virtualbox? | 07:40 |
bmoc | hmm, no I did not... ive basically got 2 drives... one 40gig ntfs with windows, one 320gig ntfs with ubuntu installed on it(yeh, silly me). | 07:40 |
vampirefrog | any ATI users here? | 07:40 |
vampirefrog | I need help testing an app I'm making :) | 07:40 |
Agent_bob | vampirefrog not that i'd admit it. | 07:40 |
amanu | i have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection | 07:40 |
bmoc | is there any way to work mounting some space(maybe removing windows ;p and using the 40 gig) simply as my /home/ without having to start over? | 07:41 |
jim_p_busy | vampirefrog: me!!!! | 07:41 |
vampirefrog | Agent_bob: if u run "aticonfig -odgt" in a terminal, what do u get? | 07:41 |
fgdgfd | hello, the logout/restart/shutdown/etc dialog.. how do i change those icons? whats their names? thanks | 07:41 |
vampirefrog | jim_p_busy: u try that too, aticonfig -odgt or aticonfig --odgt | 07:41 |
amanu | now its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how acn i use that softwares | 07:41 |
amanu | now its get stored as .iso file currently i have no disk to write how can i use that softwares | 07:42 |
jim_p_busy | fgdgfd: search in /usr/share/icons | 07:42 |
amanu | any one | 07:42 |
amanu | pls | 07:42 |
jim_p_busy | vampirefrog: i dont trust atis stuff, thank you | 07:42 |
Agent_bob | bmoc no. and that because you started with a filesystem inside a file located in a forgien filesystem... | 07:42 |
vampirefrog | jim_p_busy: it's supposed to display gpu temperature but ok | 07:42 |
ZorbaTHut | okay, any idea how to fix aptitude segfaulting? :P | 07:42 |
jim_p_busy | vampirefrog: ati tool made a mess of my brilliant xorg file | 07:42 |
fgdgfd | jim_p_busy, lol like searching the local drive :) | 07:43 |
ZorbaTHut | sudo aptitude install git-core --> segfault | 07:43 |
vampirefrog | jim_p_busy: then how about u just run aticonfig --help and pastebin the output | 07:43 |
amanu | an ideas | 07:43 |
Agent_bob | bmoc if you see the concept, it's like a box in a box in a box... | 07:43 |
amanu | i have used aptoncd to get softwares installed in my system with out having net connection | 07:43 |
Agent_bob | bmoc if you destroy the outer box all is lost. | 07:43 |
Tenebrys | Hey... I've got a problem that's kinda lingering after I removed my grub partition. | 07:43 |
Tenebrys | After I removed my ubuntu partition I mean. | 07:44 |
CKey | can i ask you something ? | 07:44 |
bmoc | Agent_bob, last question, if I could resize the 320gig partition, to say, 2 160gig partitions, could I mount the extra one as /home/? | 07:44 |
Agent_bob | bmoc yes. | 07:44 |
Agent_bob | bmoc very simple and effecient | 07:44 |
Tenebrys | It goes like this. | 07:44 |
bmoc | Agent_bob, ty much. ;) | 07:44 |
amanu | can we open .iso files to get contents in it | 07:45 |
Agent_bob | bmoc welcome | 07:45 |
linuxhelp-Suppor | morning from europe to ALL | 07:45 |
Agent_bob | bmoc one final note | 07:45 |
unop | ZorbaTHut, does apt-get function fine? | 07:45 |
jdnewmil | amanu: read man page on mount... search for "loop" option | 07:45 |
Tenebrys | Ever since I installed Vista on top of my derelict (refusing to boot) Ubuntu partition, my grub bootloader is apparetnly still kinda around, but nonfunctional. | 07:45 |
unop | !iso | 07:45 |
ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:45 |
unop | amanu, ^^ | 07:45 |
jim_p_busy | vampirefrog: i wont ruin my xorg.conf again | 07:45 |
bmoc | Agent_bob, yes? | 07:45 |
amanu | i dont wanna write .iso file to disk in yust wanna open it and use its data | 07:45 |
Tenebrys | If I reboot my system I get an "Error 17" error, unless I have a Vista CD in the drive that I can use to manually boot into Vista. | 07:46 |
amanu | jdnewmil:for that what can i type in terminal | 07:46 |
unop | amanu, see what ubottu just said | 07:46 |
linuxhelp-Suppor | everybody should use a seperated partition for /home | 07:46 |
vampirefrog | jim_p_busy: as u wish. the --help line just displays usage anyway | 07:46 |
amanu | ok | 07:46 |
Agent_bob | bmoc if you can resize the ntfs partition and make sufficient free space to contain all your linux system you can then migrate it to the new partition (takes a little work but imo worth it) and then windows is free to remain or be removed at your discression. | 07:46 |
Tenebrys | I'm -guessing- that grub is still in the boot sector and has to be dug out somehow, just not sure where to poke or what program to use. | 07:46 |
brandonmpace | Tenebrys: so you don´t have ubuntu, just vesta? | 07:46 |
CKey | my problem... in windows i install the drivers of my graphics card so i can change the resolution to 1280x.... but in ubuntu i can only select to 1024x768.. what can i do ? | 07:46 |

Agent_bob | linuxhelp-Suppor the page-up not work ? | 07:48 |
brandonmpace | just make sure it only repairs the vista bootloader | 07:49 |
Brainyiscool | Any ideas? Should I resend my question? | 07:49 |
Tenebrys | Alright. I'll at least give that a try... though it's disheartening that vista didn't get itself right on the first install cycle. | 07:49 |

brandonmpace | Rufus: would be a good idea to do that first just in case | 07:58 |
ubottu | amanu: gnome-mount (source: gnome-mount): wrapper for (un)mounting and ejecting storage devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8~svn20080225-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 69 kB, installed size 904 kB | 07:58 |
Rufus | well, that could be a little difficult, you see I have about 1tb of data on this server, and not enough HDD space anywhere else | 07:59 |
Tenebrys | It didn't appear to fix the problem with grub either, even though it -did- add XP to the selector screen that I get if I boot the computer with a Vista disk in the drive and wait for the "press any key to boot from CD" timer to run out. | 07:59 |
amanu | hateball:i want to mount .iso file in my desktop how can i? | 07:59 |
airtonix | amanu, gnome-mount | 08:00 |
litel | hi how to destroy mi swap seem to don't work, and maybe make linux crash, what should i do ? | 08:00 |
amanu | gnome-mount "after that any thing /text needed" | 08:00 |
Tenebrys | Essentially, I can't reach the Vista bootloader by trying to boot from my hard-drive, but I can reach the Vista bootloader if I've inserted the Vista CD.. | 08:00 |
Agent_bob | amanu mount -o loop file.iso /some/where | 08:00 |
airtonix | amanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning | 08:00 |
airtonix | amanu, although its a page for edgey the commands are still the same | 08:01 |
amanu | Agent_bob:ok i will try now | 08:01 |
airtonix | amanu, you can discover how to use partcular commands with $ man command | 08:01 |
Tenebrys | If I try to boot straight from my hard-drive, it says "grub loading... error 17" and I can't get through. | 08:01 |
airtonix | amanu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning | 08:02 |
airtonix | amanu, follow that...three steps required | 08:02 |
Tenebrys | It's done this ever since I replaced my Ubuntu partition with Windows Vista. | 08:02 |
brandonmpace | Tenebrys: did you try the repair install? | 08:02 |
xye | anyone know why my mouse won't work when i'm trying install ubuntu with a dual boot? i get stuck at step 4 or wahtever trying to set the partition space | 08:02 |
airtonix | amanu, or you can take the easy way out and use the gui : gnome-mount | 08:02 |
Tenebrys | You mean the startup repair? | 08:02 |
Tenebrys | I did. It said no problems found. | 08:02 |
brandonmpace | Tenebrys: hmm | 08:02 |
Tenebrys | I also tried bootsect.exe. | 08:02 |
amanu | airtonix gui : gnome-mount how to get this | 08:03 |
Agent_bob | Tenebrys partition numbers changed ? | 08:03 |
airtonix | amanu, sudo apt-get install gnome-mount | 08:03 |
amanu | ya im installing sudo apt-get install gnome-mount | 08:03 |
airtonix | amanu, is if not called gnome-mount you can use : apt-cache search iso | grep mount | 08:03 |
brandonmpace | Tenebrys: that error usually means that it can´t find the partition that the boot files are on. (your linux partition) which you deleted, correct? | 08:03 |
amanu | i installed | 08:03 |
Tenebrys | Yeah. But it also means that grub is still buried somewhere, and I need to go in with a scalpel and pick it out, and replace it with whatever's supposed to be there instead. | 08:04 |
amanu | does this statement mean " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 115 not upgraded." its not installed | 08:04 |
brandonmpace | Tenebrys: you need to find a way to install the vista bootloader to the mbr. grub is in your mbr | 08:04 |
Rufus | I'm trying recovery mode | 08:04 |
Agent_bob | Tenebrys MBR | 08:04 |
airtonix | amanu, for the record, you havent installed any special drivers or anything...al you have installed is a frontend gui that holds your hand when mounting / unmounting iso images | 08:04 |
airtonix | amanu, that statement means you already have gnome-mount installed | 08:05 |
Tenebrys | Ahhhh. | 08:05 |
amanu | ok then what to do? | 08:05 |
airtonix | amanu, look in your application menu | 08:05 |
Rufus | is there any way of undoing an upgrade from 6 to 8? | 08:05 |
Agent_bob | Rufus heh i wish. | 08:05 |
brandonmpace | lol | 08:05 |
brandonmpace | me too | 08:05 |
Rufus | aaaaaarh | 08:06 |
Rufus | I'm going to kill my self if I can't get this working | 08:06 |
amanu | airtonix: in applications-> where to get | 08:06 |
Tenebrys | hmmmmm... | 08:06 |
amanu | accesories,internet? | 08:06 |
Tenebrys | So essentially Microsoft should (hopefully) have a program for rebuilding the MBR? | 08:06 |
amanu | airtonix:accesories,internet? | 08:06 |
Rufus | FKKKKKK | 08:06 |
SkywaIker | Does ubuntu support cluster computing ? | 08:07 |
Agent_bob | Rufus linux is developed on the itialian racing theory. "what is behind you is not important" | 08:07 |
brandonmpace | Rufus: if you have a smaller empty hard disk you can put that in there and install to it while also using the partitions off of the terabyte drive for the data that´s already there | 08:07 |
airtonix | amanu, sorry my bad...that prog doesnt put a option in your menus | 08:07 |
amanu | airtonix:i cant get what u said | 08:07 |
brandonmpace | Tenebrys: yes google it. maybe something like fixmbr i believe | 08:08 |
Agent_bob | SkywaIker linux is a clustering os yes | 08:08 |
airtonix | amanu, i mean : the program you just installed does not create menu entry | 08:08 |
airtonix | amanu, you actually want sudo apt-get install gmountiso | 08:08 |
airtonix | !gmountiso| amanu | 08:08 |
amanu | ok can i try this sudo apt-get install gmountiso | 08:08 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gmountiso | 08:08 |
Rufus | what does this mean? "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/5f53ea6d-f1a1-42e9-837f-d6f49433095c does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" | 08:08 |
amanu | ya its getting installed | 08:08 |
brandonmpace | it can´t find the disk | 08:09 |
Tenebrys | Alright, I'll have a look. Thanks! | 08:09 |
Rufus | but the disk is there | 08:09 |
airtonix | amanu, gmountiso will be in applications -> system tools | 08:09 |
Rufus | it was all working 10 minutes ago | 08:09 |
Rufus | FK | 08:09 |
amanu | yes i opened it | 08:09 |
Agent_bob | Rufus means the initramfs can't find a filesystem with that UUID | 08:09 |
Rufus | Agnent_bob: and how do I fix that? | 08:09 |
brandonmpace | Rufus: for future reference, when upgrading it is always safer to back up data and do a clean install | 08:10 |
amanu | here its asking to things | 08:10 |
Agent_bob | Rufus rebuild the initramfs.img file ... | 08:10 |
Stoffer | how do I edit gru to change my default boot partition? | 08:10 |
fenerli7 | I want to use Linux (Ubuntu being my choice of distro for now) however after experimenting, I've noticed that I need NVIDIA 177.xx drivers or put up with terrible 2D performance (or use nv and have no 3D). Should I use the alpha Intrepid or Hardy and manually install the newer driver? | 08:10 |
Stoffer | grub* | 08:10 |
Rufus | how bob> | 08:10 |
airtonix | amanu, might want to save this webpage to your home folder for future reference: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy | 08:10 |
amanu | what does mount point mean? | 08:10 |
amanu | ok i will | 08:10 |
Rufus | it's on a raid 1 array, does that make a difference? it's a hardware raid card | 08:10 |
airtonix | amanu, a mount point is where the devie will be exposed for access to you...its almost always a folder you create | 08:11 |
amanu | what does mount point mean? | 08:11 |
fenerli7 | amanu: mount point is the directory you want the partition to store the contents of | 08:11 |
amanu | ok | 08:11 |
Agent_bob | Rufus well "i would," finsih the boot process, by manually mounting the root fs and exiting the initramfs busybox shell.... you will probably boot a live cd and work on it in a chrooted environment | 08:11 |
airtonix | fenerli7, 'store' is the proper description | 08:11 |
FedererRoger | how to install conky? | 08:11 |
FedererRoger | err | 08:11 |
FedererRoger | stampy | 08:11 |
FedererRoger | no no | 08:11 |
Rufus | okay agent, now in english???? Sorto of a noob here | 08:11 |
FloodBot3 | FedererRoger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:11 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, sudo apt-get install conky | 08:11 |
FedererRoger | how to instal.... wimpy | 08:12 |
brandonmpace | fenerli7: just use hardy and install by sudo apt-get install nvidia71xx | 08:12 |
Brainyiscool_ | Alright, i think i figured out hte root of my problem | 08:12 |
fenerli7 | airtonix: what? | 08:12 |
FedererRoger | omg i cant rememebr the name | 08:12 |
Brainyiscool_ | My partition table is corrupted | 08:12 |
Agent_bob | Rufus where is your root file system, ? | 08:12 |
airtonix | fenerli7, a mount point is not a place of storage....it is a place of access | 08:12 |
Brainyiscool_ | For some reason, there is an overlap | 08:12 |
Rufus | on my raid array | 08:12 |
FedererRoger | how to install "launchy" !!!! | 08:12 |
Agent_bob | Rufus ;/ never mind. | 08:12 |
Rufus | eh? | 08:13 |
amanu | is all packages installed by me from add/remove programs in ubuntu are .deb files can i get these fileass | 08:13 |
fenerli7 | airtonix: ah yes, good point, I was too busy trying to make it sound easy for the newbie | 08:13 |
amanu | sorry | 08:13 |

Agent_bob | yeah if you can setup a raid array you can maintain it. sorry, out of my forte' | 08:13 |

BeBoo | jim_p_busy: just wanted to let you know i solved my issue. the horiz and vert refresh rates were off. | 08:13 |
Rufus | can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!!??????? | 08:13 |
brandonmpace | fenerli7: if you simply go to add/remove the nvidia drivers are there, just search nvidia | 08:14 |
FedererRoger | how to install "launchy" !!!! | 08:14 |
FedererRoger | help | 08:14 |
amanu | Rufus:what do u want | 08:14 |
fenerli7 | brandonmpace: but the 177 drivers are not there in hardy | 08:14 |
Brainyiscool_ | Anyone able to help me fix the partitions? | 08:14 |
amanu | pls dont ask to ask a question | 08:14 |
Brainyiscool_ | http://nqrwemkrwe.pastebin.com/d7fdc9f1c | 08:14 |
jim_p_busy | BeBoo: how? | 08:14 |
airtonix | amanu, the files you download and install via apt-get/synaptics/add-remove are all cached in the /var/cache/apt/archive folder | 08:14 |
Rufus | I just upgraded from 6 to 8 and now my server doesn' tboot | 08:14 |
Brainyiscool_ | That's the output of fdisk and gpart | 08:14 |
Brainyiscool_ | I just don't know how to fix it | 08:14 |
fenerli7 | brandonmpace: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177 | 08:14 |
airtonix | amanu, correction: /var/cache/apt/archives | 08:15 |
brandonmpace | fenerli7: I would say to compile it yourself from nvidia´s website | 08:15 |
FedererRoger | how to install "launchy" !!!! Help!! | 08:15 |
airtonix | amanu, a programm called apt-on-cd can help you make backups of those packages... | 08:15 |
fenerli7 | brandonmpace: thanks, will do :) | 08:15 |
amanu | airtonix: | 08:15 |
brandonmpace | fenerli7: you´re welcom | 08:15 |
amanu | ok i found them | 08:15 |
brandonmpace | welcome* | 08:15 |
Agent_bob | can't someone help Rufus with a broken initramfs here ? "on a raid array" | 08:15 |
fenerli7 | brandonmpace: and thanks for finding my question, I thought it was lost :D | 08:16 |
airtonix | amanu, FedererRoger isnt launchy a win32 app? | 08:16 |
akhtar | hello | 08:16 |
amanu | can i get these to any linux working machine and just install it? | 08:16 |
airtonix | FedererRoger i think you may want to look at gnome-do | 08:16 |
BeBoo | jim_p_busy: i was following this howto and it said to set my horizSync to 30-60 and my vertRefresh to 47 or something. i set the horizSync to 28-33 and the vertRefresh to 42-72 and it worked! | 08:16 |
airtonix | amanu, only ubuntu machines | 08:16 |
FedererRoger | airtonix: whats that | 08:16 |
jim_p_busy | lol | 08:16 |
amanu | ok | 08:16 |
tenX | anyone ever ran into an error iterating ide devices on ubuntu server 8.04.1 using sata drives preventing the final shutdown? | 08:16 |
fenerli7 | airtonix: Launchy has a Linux version now | 08:16 |
airtonix | amanu, and only ubuntu machines that are the same version as yours | 08:16 |
BeBoo | So, the whole time i thought it was teh cable, the tv... it was the dern rates | 08:17 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, install it and find out....sudo apt-get install gnome-do | 08:17 |
BeBoo | now, the tv is set to sit to the right of screen 0 (my lcd) | 08:17 |
BeBoo | i can't move my mouse to it though | 08:17 |
Brainyiscool_ | airtonix: Any idea how to fix overlapping partition tables? | 08:17 |
Brainyiscool_ | http://nqrwemkrwe.pastebin.com/d7fdc9f1c | 08:17 |
Cheeky | airtonix: hey man i have a quetion; could you give me your suggestion? | 08:17 |
FedererRoger | airtonix: nothing... cant find i typed... apt-get install launchy | 08:17 |
BeBoo | nevermind, there it goes | 08:18 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, your not using sudo which is why apt-get wont work for you | 08:18 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, sudo apt-cache search conky gnome-do | 08:18 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, sudo apt-get install gnome-do | 08:18 |
Agent_bob | airtonix sudo not needed for apt-cache | 08:18 |
fenerli7 | FedererRoger: if you want Launchy, download this: | 08:18 |
fenerli7 | http://downloads.sourceforge.net/launchy/launchy_2.1.2-1_i386.deb?modtime=1217966988&big_mirror=0 | 08:18 |
FedererRoger | i also typed: yum install launchy | 08:18 |
Agent_bob | airtonix bad habbit to use sudo on things that don't need it. | 08:19 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, yum doesnt apply on debian based systems | 08:19 |
airtonix | Agent_bob, and guess what command i would likley be using next? | 08:19 |
fenerli7 | FedererRoger: launchy isn't in Ubuntu repos, you have to download the package (see link above) | 08:19 |
FedererRoger | airtonix: Aint Ubuntu based on REDHAT ? | 08:19 |
fenerli7 | no | 08:19 |
airtonix | FedererRoger, no | 08:19 |
Rufus | it's back! for some reason there are now two installs and the first (default) one didn't load | 08:19 |
linuxhelp-Suppor | DEBIAN | 08:19 |
Rufus | thanks for your help guys | 08:20 |
Rufus | I really do appreciate it | 08:20 |

B3z3rk3r | morning all | 08:20 |

Agent_bob | Rufus sorry i can't do more with raid. just never messed with them. | 08:20 |
Rufus | thanks anyway agent_bob | 08:21 |
B3z3rk3r | FedererRoger, dont u think asking that in #ubuntu will give u bias3d responses? | 08:21 |

Poke-SmOt | is freenode basically dedicated to linux? | 08:21 |
airtonix | amanu, i recommend using apt-on-cd to backup your apt-archives....it will gice you the option to have them exported as one iso file which you can then move to your usb drive | 08:22 |
FedererRoger | Help! i want to boot with Ubuntu from my USB stick... in any computer, so i can carry with me my desktop, is that possible?? | 08:22 |
xye | anyone know why my mouse won't work when i'm trying install ubuntu with a dual boot? i get stuck at step 4 or wahtever trying to set the partition space | 08:22 |
tenX | user_: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/testbranch.html | 08:23 |
unop | Poke-SmOt, not at all - there are channels for almost everything under the sun | 08:23 |
Daft_Punk | when you start virtualbox there are icons for different types of OS's by the name of the VM, where are those icons located? | 08:23 |
fenerli7 | FedererRoger: I think the new Ubuntu has something for that, Fedora 9 also has that too | 08:23 |
xye | it keeps giving me the error Size to small when i try to just press enter | 08:23 |
xye | and i can't slide the partion spacer because the mouse won't work | 08:23 |
amanu | airtonix:ok i will do the same | 08:23 |
Poke-SmOt | when i look at channel list, almost all the channels are kernal help channels | 08:23 |
FedererRoger | fenerli7: so Fedora i much superior to Ubuntu? | 08:23 |
amanu | thank u | 08:23 |
xye | do you think a regular ball mouse might work? | 08:23 |
user_ | thank you | 08:23 |

xye | what? | 08:24 |
Poke-SmOt | lol do balls work on gals | 08:24 |
FedererRoger | Flannel: i dont want to install Ubuntu... | 08:24 |

Poke-SmOt | federerroger i think your in the wrong channel then :P | 08:24 |
tenX | Poke-SmOt: see ;) so it ll work on computers | 08:24 |
xye | i want to install ubuntu so badly, i have to for my class, but I can't get past step 4 i think it is trying to install | 08:24 |
Flannel | FedererRoger: you'd be installing to the USB. OR just copy the liveCD iso to the usb stick | 08:24 |
FedererRoger | Flannel: i just want to boot with Ubuntu in any hardware | 08:24 |
xye | it's epic failure for me, i'm actually depressed irl | 08:25 |
fenerli7 | xye: what was step 4? | 08:25 |
ompaul | FedererRoger, the instructions you want are on that page | 08:25 |
fenerli7 | partitioning? | 08:25 |
xye | the partioning step | 08:25 |
tenX | xye: calm down first | 08:25 |
FedererRoger | okok ill read | 08:25 |
Flannel | fenerli7: It also explains the installing to usb devices. | 08:25 |
FedererRoger | if doesnt work, ill ask refund | 08:25 |
fenerli7 | xye: what's the problem? | 08:25 |
tenX | xye: partitioning fails? | 08:25 |
CochiseIRL | anyone ever had a problem with your applications menu in gnome not working? | 08:25 |
fenerli7 | Flannel: my bad | 08:25 |
xye | my mouse won't work so I can't slide the partioner and i try using the keyboard, but everytime i try to partion it says "size to small" | 08:25 |
ompaul | FedererRoger, if it does not work look at your hardware :P | 08:25 |
fenerli7 | xye: can't you manually calculate values? | 08:25 |
fenerli7 | xye: USB mouse? | 08:26 |
xye | yea I was going to try to do the manual install | 08:26 |
xye | yea it's a USB mouse | 08:26 |
xye | but i don't want to end up messing up, since im installing this along side my windows install | 08:26 |
tenX | xye: on a basic text based installation you wont need a mouse | 08:26 |

Crayboff | OMFG best video I have seen in a long time: http://gramatan.livejournal.com/46533.html sorry, had to share that with you. | 08:26 |
tenX | xye: do you have a system dedicated to ubuntu? | 08:26 |
B3z3rk3r | xye, if you hit tab that should take u to the next input box.. eliminating the need for a mouse | 08:27 |
fenerli7 | xye: why do you need to slide the slider, can't you manually calcualte the values (e.g. start point, size, end point)? | 08:27 |
xye | tab doesn't work I tried that. | 08:27 |
xye | No, im pretty new to manual partitioning | 08:27 |
xye | I know i need to set a root and swap size from what I've read so far, but i'm still somewhat lost. | 08:27 |
B3z3rk3r | xye, have u tried running something like gparted to partition your drives first.. then installing ? | 08:27 |
xye | Nope, just using the ubuntu cd I burned | 08:28 |
tenX | xye: again: calm down :) people will help you out in here if you ask politely | 08:28 |
xye | Anyone know why it might be saying Size to small? it shows 120gigs free for the ubuntu install | 08:28 |
xye | i'm sorry, i'm in a huge rush but I do appologize, it's just late here=[ | 08:29 |
amanu | xye:what uppp | 08:29 |
tenX | xye: never ran into this installing many systems | 08:29 |
amanu | xye:whats uppp | 08:29 |
B3z3rk3r | xye, ok, id give that a try if i were you... you can download it for free from here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php | 08:29 |
fenerli7 | wtf? just use the ubuntu live CD mode? | 08:29 |
fenerli7 | gparted is on that | 08:29 |
xye | yea i thought gparted came on the live cd. | 08:29 |
B3z3rk3r | xye, this will mean that u dont have to manually edit your partition | 08:29 |
xye | isn't that what i'm using? | 08:29 |
tenX | B3z3rk3r: gparted wont do anything else the ubuntu installation partitioning dialogue does | 08:30 |
=== sourcode is now known as sourcode[0] |
fenerli7 | the thing in the install is something else (not hparted) | 08:30 |

ceil420 | monotonous, /server irc.whatever.org | 08:31 |
tenX | fenerli7: generally i will never see the use in gui usage | 08:31 |
ceil420 | monotonous, or maybe /connect, but i think that's irssi | 08:31 |

monotonous | sweet thanks ciel420 | 08:31 |
JaseX | Does anyone know anything about configuring SLiM ? | 08:32 |
ceil420 | monotonous, you can also just add the server to your network list | 08:32 |
tenX | xye: lazer = razer? | 08:32 |
user_ | is there a way to make ubuntu client work as a server? | 08:32 |
xye | Nope, it's a mx518 | 08:32 |
B3z3rk3r | xye, thats a logitech right? | 08:32 |
xye | Yes it is | 08:32 |
JaseX | tenX: I kind of agree with you, especially having a blind friend who depends on CLI and screen readers... | 08:32 |
TiMiDo | user_, what type of server though? | 08:32 |
B3z3rk3r | i think thats what iv got.. havent had a prob with it ? | 08:33 |
amanu | cant i have like "task manager" in xp here to force quit a program which is not respondinggg? | 08:33 |
JaseX | amanu: try system-monitor | 08:33 |
B3z3rk3r | perhaps it isnt the mouse, but a corrupted driver of some sort? | 08:33 |
smilefafa | yes,of course | 08:33 |
xye | strange, im still unsure why it says ' size too small ' when it automatically gives 120gigs to the ubuntu installation? | 08:33 |
* B3z3rk3r waves at Daft_Punk | 08:33 |
xye | im not using drivers for the mouse, it's plug n play | 08:33 |

Daft_Punk | B3z3rk3r, waives back | 08:33 |
subdolus | if wget cant do it, what do you guys use as a download manager? | 08:33 |
tenX | user_: you will have to read up a lot. but in general you can of course let your client installation run server type of services. the client installation is just a direct user approach | 08:33 |
subdolus | im after something that can grab specific entire dirs | 08:34 |
amanu | ok | 08:34 |
Flynsarmy | Any gnome-mud users here? | 08:34 |

airtonix | Cheeky, should be able ...just dont expect to service a netowrk of 10 people accessing at the same time with awesome results | 08:36 |
amanu | airtonix:i done the same | 08:36 |
brandonmpace | Cheeky: I have run the ubuntu desktop on 350 Mhz so I don´t see why a CLI interface would not work | 08:36 |
tenX | JaseX: simply didnt know the abbreviation | 08:36 |
ZKAT8IT | has anyone installed a radeon x1160? i cant get mine working | 08:36 |

JaseX | Man i'm doing two things at once... | 08:36 |

Cheeky | brandonmpace: nice iam about toinstall it .. is it staright forwar set up ? | 08:37 |
=== jim_p_busy is now known as jim_p |
JaseX | @ tenX I hear you there, I feel more comfortable half the time with CLI programs anyways. | 08:37 |
FedererRoger | jim_p_busy: yeah, but no a bare install , i want to boot the OS from an USB stick, but i want to it with ubuntu | 08:38 |
airtonix | amanu, webcams and wifi cards are two things that are not so well covered in ubuntu yet.. | 08:38 |
amanu | ok | 08:38 |
brandonmpace | Cheeky: I have not used the server but if it is anything like the desktop version yes | 08:38 |
jim_p | FedererRoger: there are instructions on pendrivelinux.org for this | 08:38 |
JaseX | amanu: what laptop? | 08:38 |
amanu | hcl | 08:38 |
Cheeky | brandonmpace: iam about to fin out i guess ; i got this machine .. in a dumpster lool | 08:38 |
user_ | any help on how I can make my ubtuntu client to run server applications? | 08:38 |
FedererRoger | pendrivelinux.org << doesnt work | 08:38 |
tenX | user_: just install them?? | 08:39 |
brandonmpace | Cheeky: lol I have an 8086 in my garage | 08:39 |
ompaul | Cheeky, it is very simple from the menu, however you have been advised elsewhere already that a complex database will cripple that box and make it really slow and unresponsive you choose the lamp options from the install menu and then install openssh-server and have fun but I am warning you a lack of speed will be frustrating | 08:39 |
JaseX | amanu: try learning what your laptop has for a camera, and then see what you have to install to maybe get it to work. | 08:39 |
JaseX | I know most hp Pavilion laptops built in cams work fine out of box with Cheese | 08:39 |
user_ | through the terminal? | 08:39 |
brandonmpace | Cheeky: that would be a good learning box, the one you got | 08:39 |
JaseX | and with pidgin... | 08:39 |
JaseX | Not sure with your laptop though. | 08:39 |
amanu | JaseX:how and from where can i learn it | 08:39 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: back from last night ;) still am having issues | 08:40 |
RunDMC | wenas | 08:40 |
brandonmpace | JaseX: i wasn´t aware pidgin supported webcams... you MUST mean Amsn | 08:40 |
jim_p | FedererRoger: its pendrivelinux.com , sorry | 08:40 |
JaseX | amanu: my friend the ubuntuforums.org have lots of posts pertaining on how to find all this out... i'm not sure on the command as to find out a webcam. | 08:40 |
JaseX | You're right brandonmpace | 08:40 |
JaseX | It's 4 AM here. | 08:40 |
brandonmpace | !webcam | 08:40 |
ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 08:40 |
amanu | ok | 08:40 |
JaseX | I apologize. | 08:40 |
brandonmpace | lol no biggie | 08:40 |
brandonmpace | just makin sure | 08:41 |
brandonmpace | i got excited for a sec lol | 08:41 |
airtonix | JaseX, amanu since most webcams are connected to the main system via a usb bus...you could start with : lsusb...or lspci to at least determine if ubuntu can see your device | 08:41 |
tenX | ah hey as i appear to have joined this chan for interest two questions having bothered me some time ago i'd like to address to you ubuntu experts in here: first issue - what switch will prevent apt-get/aptitude updates from kernel or /boot/grub/menu.lst upgrades? | 08:41 |
amanu | ok i will check it now | 08:41 |
tenX | not safe-upgrade | 08:42 |
FedererRoger | jim_p: thanks! | 08:42 |
jim_p | FedererRoger: you are welcome | 08:42 |
airtonix | amanu, have a look through the ubuntu forums in the tutorials and tips section for any webcam threads that might be there | 08:42 |
amanu | ok | 08:42 |
FedererRoger | jim_p: thanks! i want to do DAMN SMALL LINUX but with UBUNTU... DSL sucks | 08:42 |
Cheeky | ompaul: iam screwed... the cd rom was deteted but wont let me install it coz the cd rom .. is slow .. how can i install it through a netwrok .. is that even possbible ? | 08:43 |
jim_p | lol | 08:43 |
JaseX | FedererRoger: I would wait for fluxbuntu 8.10 to be made then. | 08:43 |
unop | tenX, if i remember right, kernel upgrades are not automatic -- and even if you install a new kernel you'll be warned | 08:43 |
JaseX | and just dd that onto a thumbdrive. | 08:43 |
ompaul | Cheeky, got a usb port on the box and will it support booting from usb | 08:43 |
brandonmpace | !webcam | amanu | 08:43 |
ubottu | amanu: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 08:43 |
JaseX | Anyways ubuntu 8.10 will support installing to a usb thumbdrive from within ubuntu itself. | 08:43 |
FedererRoger | JaseX: why flubuntu?? why not use ubuntu? | 08:44 |
JaseX | Fluxbuntu is faster being based off the fluxbox wm rather than the gnome de | 08:44 |
Cheeky | ompaul: no .. the problem, is that i have a usb dvd rom .. and it didnt give the opton to book from usb cd rom .. | 08:44 |
tenX | unop: my systems dont have auto updates, i simply wonder if there is some config file switch telling apt to leave out kernel updates | 08:44 |
unop | JaseX, you can install fluxbox on ubuntu and switch desktops - to pretty much the same effect | 08:44 |
brandonmpace | !install | Cheeky | 08:44 |
ubottu | Cheeky: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 08:44 |
Cheeky | ompaul: this is my machine with 128 ram thou http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Dimension-Desktop-266-MHz-Pentium/dp/B00005UJYR | 08:44 |
ompaul | Cheeky, well then maybe you will do what else I suggested - xen virtual box quemu on your main desktop | 08:44 |
FedererRoger | JaseX: but i want Gnome and all full desktop, into my 128 GB USB stick | 08:45 |
amanu | here is output for my lspci,lsusb commands can any one find my type of web cam here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/48815/ | 08:45 |
JaseX | if you're going for a thumb drive usable distro, capable of running on practically ANY pc FedererRoger I'd recommend at least replacing gnome with Fluxbox or LXDE | 08:45 |
JaseX | 128 GB usb? | 08:45 |
JaseX | You mean 128 MB | 08:45 |
JaseX | The highest pen drive I own... is 8gb, the highest one I know of is 16 gb | 08:45 |
FedererRoger | JaseX: why not Gnome? 128 gb | 08:45 |
brandonmpace | JaseX: there is a 32 GB now | 08:45 |
JaseX | there is no 128 gb usb stick | 08:45 |
=== Initial_2 is now known as Initial_M |
JaseX | brandonmpace: so they released it finally? | 08:46 |
JaseX | Have to grab one. | 08:46 |
unop | tenX, by automatic i mean - newer kernels are not pulled in via apt-get/aptitude upgrade - you have to explicitly install the newer kernels to get them. | 08:46 |
brandonmpace | yep | 08:46 |
brandonmpace | www.newegg.com has them | 08:46 |
JaseX | I'm waiting for a 32gig sdhc card to come in the mail | 08:46 |
brandonmpace | lol | 08:46 |
JaseX | ah newegg.com = friend :D | 08:46 |
FedererRoger | JaseX: the space is irrelevant, i want FULL DESKTOP , with GNOME and all the crap + UBUNTU in my USB stick | 08:46 |
JaseX | FedererRoger: 128 mb is not enough. | 08:46 |
Debolaz | I wouldn't mind something more lean than stock ubuntu, but the problem has been intergration with other systems, like SMB shares. Only (k)ubuntu seems to support such things in a simple way. | 08:46 |
JaseX | The space is relevant sir @ FedererRoger | 08:46 |
Massiv0r | Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? | 08:46 |
FedererRoger | FedererRoger: 128 GIGAbytes | 08:46 |
brandonmpace | FedererRoger: that will take at least a 4 gig, possible a 2 gig | 08:47 |
JaseX | I have issues running it from a 2 gigabyte thumbdrive | 08:47 |
tenX | unop: you mean choosing dist-upgrade rather to upgrade or safe-upgrade? | 08:47 |
JaseX | FedererRoger: there's no such thing as 128 Gigabyte thumbdrive. is what i'm telling you. | 08:47 |
Cheeky | brandonmpace: wow .. ojk .. which on is the easies.. | 08:47 |
brandonmpace | Cheeky: ? | 08:47 |
Cheeky | ompaul: i wanan try the new box .. heeheh .. how could i do this ? | 08:47 |
FedererRoger | JaseX: thats irrelevant, i have a 128 GIGAs thumb , my question is if there is any limitation to Put a FULL ubuntu desktop in it? | 08:48 |
JaseX | FedererRoger: yes because you have no 128 gigabyte thumbdrive sir. | 08:48 |
ompaul | Cheeky, move your cd / dvd to it temporarily | 08:48 |
JaseX | You have a 128 megabyte thumbdrive. | 08:48 |
JaseX | IT IS VERY Relevant my dear friend. | 08:48 |
brandonmpace | full ubuntu desktop needs 4 gigs for stability and full install | 08:48 |
Cheeky | ompaul: can i pm you ? | 08:48 |
FedererRoger | JaseX: forget about the space, i have there 50gb of information already, and i want to install UBUNTU | 08:49 |
ompaul | Cheeky, go on | 08:49 |
FedererRoger | Irrelevant | 08:49 |
JaseX | brandonmpace: not necessarily... if you chop out crap like openoffice and evolution and the likes. | 08:49 |
JaseX | relevant sir. | 08:49 |
unop | tenX, dist-upgrade is no longer recommended so you shouldn't be using it - use do-release-upgrade instead - but if you dist-upgraded (by any means) a newer kernel is installed - which makes sense - packages in newer versions of ubuntu rely on newer versions of the kernel | 08:49 |
JaseX | Why won't you listen. | 08:49 |
JaseX | YOU cannot forget about the space. | 08:49 |
Massiv0r | Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? | 08:49 |
JaseX | The space is the crucial basis. | 08:49 |
JaseX | I'd be damned if you could efficiently run a xubuntu install from 128mb | 08:50 |
brandonmpace | JaseX: I think we should drop the space issue. FedererRoger you need 4 gigabytes of free space on the drive as long as you have a decent amount of ram | 08:50 |
JaseX | here's your answer FedererRoger, it's impossible to do what you are trying to do. give up. | 08:50 |
FAJ | hi can anyone help me with my wifi? i followed these directions: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo to get the -ng madwifi drivers.. but it doesn't show up in my iwconfig. any help please, i am desparate | 08:50 |
tenX | unop: thanks for that hint as i will have to fight with myself changing long time behaviour :/ | 08:50 |
JaseX | FedererRoger: forget DSL, try Puppy Linux | 08:50 |
dody | mm | 08:51 |
brandonmpace | puppy requires slightly more than 128 mb unless you just copy the cd files | 08:51 |
FedererRoger | I Have 128 gigabytes, so its not a problem for me | 08:51 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: what is the wireless chipset? | 08:51 |
JaseX | brandonmpace: exactly, but he wants the full experience, and the iso can be modified. | 08:51 |

chazco | Hi... anyone know the pros/cons of swapping totem-gstreamer for totem-xine (so I can play DVD images)? | 08:57 |
Agent_bob | chazco i just use vlc | 08:58 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: what now? | 08:58 |
chazco | I'd rather not install lots of extra applications though... totem-gstreamer works for me except for DVD | 08:59 |
bazhang_ | vlc works great chazco | 08:59 |

JaseX | oh nevermind | 09:01 |
Massiv0r | Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? | 09:01 |
JaseX | I missed it opping you. | 09:01 |
FedererRoger | help? | 09:01 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: go here and follow this, as your chipset is not fully supported yet, it is being worked on. you have an ar5008 main chipset, btw http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_checkout_and_install_madwifi_experimental_driver_for_ar5008 | 09:01 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: I have almost gotten the game running once. | 09:02 |
edo32mb | anyone able to help with setting up this Logitech USB mic...the links i seem to go to seem to all be down. -.- | 09:02 |
Massiv0r | Jasex: what was your problem ? | 09:02 |
JaseX | But the server i was using infact had no game guard. | 09:02 |
Massiv0r | That way it was supposed to be running | 09:02 |
JaseX | I forgot to finish the updates... and ever since, my wine hasn't worked. | 09:02 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: I´m sure that 8.10 will work wonders for you as it adds a bunch of hardware support | 09:02 |
amanu | how can i find weather my system is a 32 bit or 64 bit | 09:02 |
amanu | one | 09:03 |
Tenebrys | okay, this is odd. | 09:03 |
JaseX | amanu. | 09:03 |
JaseX | what processor do you have? | 09:03 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: i just came from 8,10; it 'works' but it doesn't actually work | 09:03 |
JaseX | Do you know @ amanu? | 09:03 |
FedererRoger | i get the error "telnet: connect to address Connection refused" when i try to connect by IP, but then i try with 'localhost', it works, help!? | 09:03 |
Tenebrys | Even the program on the Vista recovery console "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" said "the operation completed successfully" but upon bootup I still got grub error 17. | 09:03 |
JaseX | FAJ 8.10 isn't finished, that's why :p | 09:03 |
Massiv0r | JaseX: i could run it but it was freezing at Almost all cities (not some starting villages) everything else was working great... it was giving me some Errors "Fixme" smth @ terminal | 09:03 |
FAJ | JaseX: this is true.... | 09:03 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: that´s what I´m saying is that by release date it should work, but not yet lol | 09:03 |
FAJ | lol ok. | 09:03 |
amanu | do we have any command to know type of my processor | 09:04 |
JaseX | I'm having a weird issue with the kernel i'm using faj... don't feel bad. | 09:04 |
JaseX | Yes | 09:04 |
edo32mb | is ubuntuforums.org down for anyone else? | 09:04 |
brandonmpace | amanu do you want weather on your panel bar? | 09:04 |
Tenebrys | Yeah, I can't get in. | 09:04 |
Agent_bob | amanu cat /proc/cpuinfo | 09:04 |
brandonmpace | me neither | 09:04 |
JaseX | @amanu try this | 09:04 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: trying directions; svn isn't working; clienterror; invalid parsing arguments | 09:04 |
JaseX | sudo lshw -html > your-file-name.html | 09:05 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: sigh... computers | 09:05 |
ompaul | FedererRoger, telnet works - I think you are trolling | 09:05 |
FAJ | ya.... | 09:05 |
JaseX | It works wonders for me @ amanu | 09:05 |
^Jimbo^ | edo32mb: Yes | 09:05 |
Tenebrys | Are there any other ways to fix up the master boot record other than the "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" program? I just need to get grub out of there so I can boot normally again, do whatever it was I did to it in the first place. I had used some kind of grub boot ISO to write it in. | 09:05 |
FAJ | so what should i do brandonmpace ';) | 09:05 |
JaseX | FAJ i've missed your problem... reinstate please? | 09:05 |

^Jimbo^ | edo32mb: My pleasure | 09:06 |
amanu | JaseX:but yesterday night i cant install fedora 64 bit | 09:06 |
amanu | what may be reason | 09:06 |
linuxonlinehelp_ | to@ALL does anyone setup a PC Farm with "Bionic"? | 09:06 |
JaseX | @amanu I have the same processor. the reason might be your SATA drives. | 09:06 |
amanu | my college said may be ur proceesor wont support 64 bit | 09:06 |
bazhang | amanu, ubuntu or fedora | 09:06 |
brandonmpace | ok don´t follow their directions FAJ but instead download this to your home directory and compile it http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz | 09:06 |
edo32mb | anyone familiar with setting up Logitech USB mic? | 09:07 |
ompaul | FedererRoger, telnet to what - which port etc | 09:07 |
amanu | fedora | 09:07 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: hopefully that works | 09:07 |
JaseX | Your processor will amanu | 09:07 |
JaseX | Try Ubuntu 64bit. | 09:07 |
bazhang | amanu, best ask in #fedora for that | 09:07 |
Tenebrys | So, yeah, I'm a little bit stuck, with a broken grub in my MBR apparently that prevents normal bootup. | 09:07 |
amanu | JaseX:ok do u have same processor? | 09:07 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: sudo make sudo make install? | 09:07 |
brandonmpace | edo32mb: that should work natively with ubuntu | 09:07 |
bazhang | amanu, or try what JaseX said :) | 09:07 |
amanu | bazhang:ok | 09:07 |
JaseX | FAJ | 09:07 |

amanu | b coz i have a small problem with it | 09:09 |
brandonmpace | edo32mb: did you try going to system> preferences> sound and setting it up there? | 09:09 |

brandonmpace | FAJ: google how to blacklist ath5k and also follow their directions here starting at ¨if you´re using debian ¨ http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_checkout_and_install_madwifi_experimental_driver_for_ar5008 | 09:13 |
ompaul | JaseX, ;-) one worth breaking :-) | 09:13 |
JaseX | ompaul: quite. I concur | 09:13 |
JaseX | I have a question about the testing kernel.... 2.26.27... if anyone has a clue... | 09:15 |
onno | hai | 09:15 |
plovs | how can i show an xterm on a remote screen i am logged in to over ssh? | 09:16 |
plovs | like a fancy remote control | 09:16 |
JaseX | Heh, my imac is reporting that it's from 1904-01-01 | 09:16 |
JaseX | plovs are you tunneling x over ssh? | 09:17 |
JaseX | or just pure ssh? | 09:17 |
plovs | just ssh, but i suppose it is possible to do either using DISPLAY | 09:17 |
plovs | i am just missing someting | 09:17 |
plovs | JaseX: bios-battery empty? | 09:18 |
JaseX | plovs: well if you're doing ssh localhost for isntance, you'd automatically be connected to a terminal. | 09:18 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: it didn't create any new wifi/ath0 in ifconfig | 09:18 |
plovs | yes but i want to run apps on the remote machine (mplayer) | 09:18 |
JaseX | ... | 09:18 |
cumknot | moinsen | 09:18 |
JaseX | you'd have to tunnel x over ssh | 09:18 |
JaseX | or you could just use vino combined with vinagre | 09:19 |
plovs | then i get it on my laptop, not my desktop i am trying to get it to show on | 09:19 |
JaseX | It's what I use. | 09:19 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: following troubleshoot; there is nothing under ifconfig -a either | 09:19 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: hmm i´m still thinking. I know you don´t exactly want to wait til the 30th of october lol | 09:19 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: ummm ya lol | 09:19 |
FAJ | i could try ndiswrapper? | 09:19 |
JaseX | plovs, try vinagre... if you have vino already running on your desktop. | 09:19 |
plovs | JaseX: ok ... looking | 09:19 |
JaseX | plovs: if not run vino-preferences on your desktop | 09:19 |
Massiv0r | Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? | 09:20 |
JaseX | plovs: and set it up accordingly... on my laptop just to let you know, I had to set my desktop to allow connections from more than just local. | 09:20 |
mistform | gah | 09:20 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: yes you can | 09:20 |
JaseX | plovs: meaning I unchecked allow local connections only. | 09:20 |
brandonmpace | FAJ: why not? | 09:20 |
alexcamilo | smartk | 09:20 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: ok,,,, | 09:21 |
plovs | JaseX: ah, vino is vnc, i want to watch a movie on the remote box, will be to slow | 09:21 |
plovs | what i want is use my laptop as a remote control for my desktop where i run mplayer to show a movie | 09:21 |
JaseX | well you could always just stream the media... | 09:21 |
JaseX | Well I start movies and youtube all the time on my desktop... and just minimize vinagre on my laptop... | 09:22 |
alexcamilo | Hello, i'm having a problem with a new install of ubuntu. i have an nvidia geforce 4 mx 440 agp and when i go to retricted drivers to select the nvidia driver it is checked but not in use. | 09:22 |
JaseX | I am really lazy plovs | 09:22 |
brandonmpace | plovs: VLC can stream media over a nework, just click file> wizard | 09:22 |
airtonix | plovs, try using ssh with x forwarding to run vlc which is set to output on a second screen at the server | 09:22 |
alexcamilo | i'm currently running a system update but i don't know if that will do it. | 09:22 |
JaseX | alexcamilo: I had that issue with my desktop using similar card, you will have to get the legacy driver from nvidia themselfs AFAIK | 09:23 |
mistform | how do I get my bluetooth device working? it's a PCI card, but the bluetooth comes off into a USB2, which is plugged into the motherboard | 09:23 |
alexcamilo | apt-get? or download& compile | 09:23 |
mistform | what command do i used to detect it? | 09:23 |
brandonmpace | alexcamilo: go to System>administration>hardwar drivers | 09:23 |
JaseX | if you want a runthrough on how to do that, that is if you're comfortable with the command line... message me privately. | 09:23 |
Agent_bob | lsusb | 09:23 |
JaseX | brandonmpace: I have a similar graphics card and I had to use the nvidia-legacy drivers. | 09:23 |
FAJ | brandonmpace: it says that it is connected through ndiswrapper; any way to test it lol | 09:24 |
JaseX | He said it was checked but not working. | 09:24 |
brandonmpace | JaseX: I have that EXACT video card right in front of me | 09:24 |
alexcamilo | dell optiplex? | 09:24 |
alexcamilo | lol | 09:24 |
JaseX | brandonmpace: well I'll let you have this one then :D mine's a slightly different model, and all I know is enabling restricted drivers would not work for me. | 09:24 |
Massiv0r | Can anyone confirm me that Lineage2 (Interlude Chronicle) isn't able to run @ wine even if the server has no gameguard? | 09:25 |

brandonmpace | FAJ: yes | 09:25 |
alexcamilo | ah cool | 09:25 |
alexcamilo | awesome | 09:25 |

brandonmpace | Massiv0r: are you trying to use wine? | 09:27 |
jlee | | 09:28 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: I can report success in running lineage 2 in virtual box with a winxp guest | 09:28 |
JaseX | but that's to be expected. | 09:28 |
JaseX | If your computer is up to par, it should handle it. | 09:28 |
Massiv0r | brandonmpace: yes i even succesfulled installed Direct X and games like cod2 were Running Great even @ Multiplayer | 09:28 |

ZKAT8IT | does 3d even work with ati cards? or only a select few? | 09:35 |
brandonmpace | rblst: under Audio Conferencing. Sound Capture: | 09:35 |

JaseX | brandonmpace: thanks was about to type that to Massiv0r | 09:35 |
brandonmpace | lol | 09:35 |
Massiv0r | brandonmpace: i would prefer running at Ubuntu so i had better results | 09:35 |
JaseX | I'm becoming increasingly more and more rundown. | 09:35 |
ZKAT8IT | im having trouble getting it to work with the x1650 | 09:35 |
brandonmpace | Your machine can handle it I promise | 09:35 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: he's right. | 09:36 |
brandonmpace | ZKAT8IT: is that in a laptop? | 09:36 |
Massiv0r | guys the server i play has like 3k ppl online and i have to pariticipate at Sieges and Raids :/ | 09:36 |
JaseX | Windows XP does not run as sloppily in virtualbox as natively. | 09:36 |
ZKAT8IT | if i enable the 3d, when it reboots ubuntu loads but then the screen goes black before i get t the login screen | 09:36 |
ZKAT8IT | brandonmpace: desktop | 09:36 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: just try, if it doesn't work to par, you can hate me all you want. | 09:36 |
JaseX | It is a perfect option... | 09:36 |
JaseX | and one worth trying. | 09:36 |
brandonmpace | ZKAT8IT: If you wait until 8.10 I´m sure the final release will have better support for this | 09:37 |
Massiv0r | You are sure i will have good Results? | 09:37 |
brandonmpace | Massiv0r: as good as wine would most likely give you | 09:37 |
ZKAT8IT | how long will that be? | 09:37 |
rblst | <brandonmpace: ah, tricky, thanx, i'll play around with that | 09:37 |
brandonmpace | ZKAT8IT: october 30 | 09:37 |
Massiv0r | Great,now how can i setup a Virtual Box? | 09:37 |
JaseX | Let's put it this way Massiv0r I can run perfect world, and world of warcraft just fine | 09:37 |
brandonmpace | rblst: you´re welcome | 09:37 |
ZKAT8IT | will it be as simple as an apt-get update? | 09:37 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: I'd recommend the version from virtualbox.org | 09:37 |
Massiv0r | your pc is uber mine is like "retarded" | 09:37 |
JaseX | or you could try the repository one. | 09:38 |
Massiv0r | Jasex: anyway i mean i need to install Full winxp at my linux hd? | 09:38 |
brandonmpace | ZKAT8IT: your update popup will tell you that there is a distro upgrade available | 09:38 |
JaseX | sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 09:38 |
JaseX | I think | 09:38 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: yes, but in a virtual file... | 09:38 |
ZKAT8IT | ok, thanks brandonmpace | 09:38 |
Massiv0r | can i do that at another HD ? cause my main linux one has low size | 09:39 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: you will more than likely need only to spare 12 gigs to avirtual hard drive... probably 8 or 10 | 09:39 |
brandonmpace | ZKAT8IT: a fresh install is recommended though to avoid possible problems | 09:39 |
brandonmpace | Massiv0r: yes | 09:39 |
JaseX | Massiv0r: I believe so, as long as that HD is accessible by linux already | 09:39 |
brandonmpace | as jasex said | 09:39 |
ZKAT8IT | lol, ive already fresh installed like 5 times in the past 6 hours trying to get this driver working | 09:39 |
Massiv0r | it's ntfs type with 80gb and another one with 65gb | 09:39 |
brandonmpace | lol fun i know | 09:39 |
JaseX | ZKAT8IT: what are you having issues with? | 09:39 |
C0R3-X | guys, about that .msi installing, the code is this - "msiexec /i fileinstaller.msi" , but where i should place my .msi file to run it with this code? | 09:39 |
C0R3-X | on desktop? | 09:40 |
brandonmpace | JaseX: hardware incompatibility | 09:40 |
ZKAT8IT | trying to get an ATI Radeon x1650 working with 3d support | 09:40 |
_moro_bana_ | hello, when i boot into my freshly installed debian, i get this /bin/sh: cant access tty;job control turned off. it cant lauch the desktop. help | 09:40 |
JaseX | .... ZKAT8IT envyng-gtk doesn't handle that? | 09:40 |
Massiv0r | ZKAT8iT i had exactly the same problem,it's hardware as they said,wait till next ubuntu release just | 09:40 |
DuKeS | hello everyone, i just recently installed ubuntu in a dual boot with winxp and i would like the default option for OS to be windows instead of ubuntu. How do i change that in the grub menu? | 09:41 |
ZKAT8IT | meh, guess ill wait, was hoping never needing to touch the thing again | 09:41 |
Massiv0r | but guys with Virtual Box i can have 3D Acceleration Enabled ? | 09:41 |
jim_p | Massiv0r: nope | 09:42 |
JaseX | dukes install startupmanager | 09:42 |
plovs | C0R3-X: puth the file in your $PATH, best in the directory you are running wine from | 09:42 |
Massiv0r | it can also be your Nvidia drivers by the way | 09:42 |
brandonmpace | DuKeS: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:42 |
