| 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 |
| raulh | hey d3rgps31 | 00:07 |

| jrib | Funoost: you also need -a | 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 |

| 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 |

| === uffo_ is now known as tangirehv | ||

| 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 | raulh: and so, what difference does it make if it's a CD or an external HD? | 00:12 |

| raulh | live CD's | 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 |
| daklan | roukoun: you'll have to show someone that particular piece of code. your source code's syntax might be incorrect | 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 |

| histo | daklan: IS that something I need to fix? | 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 |
| kitche | uffo: no such thing for linux | 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 |

| etherealpanda | Max-P, Did the remote start working again? (I had to reboot) | 00:22 |
| pen | is there anyway to change the size of the thumbnails for image in nautilus? | 00:22 |
| 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 |
| GarethAdams | hi guys | 00:23 |
| uffo | kitche: but how filezilla can work then ? | 00:23 |
| uffo | kitche: i did not compiled it | 00:23 |

| jrib | uffo: why... so you have hundreds of copies of the same library? | 00:25 |
| GarethAdams | daklan: ta | 00:25 |
| HymnToLife | it means your partitions are not "ordered" on the disk | 00:25 |
| pen | nvm | 00:25 |
| kitche | uffo: yeah ok if you say so I know how much it actually makes a mess of a system | 00:25 |
| uffo | kitche: yes i dont care, altleast system libraries is untouched | 00:25 |
| raulh | www.urbanterror.net <== well recommended working ubuntu game! | 00:25 |
| Schuenemann | HymnToLife, but cfdisk can't even display them. It says they are overlapped. | 00:25 |
| HymnToLife | like for example, sda6 is physically placed before sda5 on the disk | 00:25 |
| uffo | kitche: and it is hell easy to use | 00:25 |
| HymnToLife | oh | 00:25 |
| HymnToLife | if they are overlapped, it is indeed an error | 00:26 |
| Gun_Smoke | I have set gconf-editor setting desktop icons of trash, home, computer... However I can't seem to figure out how to have those icons use the icon theme I have installed.. Ideas? | 00:26 |

| o0Chris0o | yes I know dr, I scrolled up accidently :D | 00:27 |
| HymnToLife | Schuenemann: you could try gparted | 00:27 |
| o0Chris0o | I already had that answered | 00:27 |
| HymnToLife | but you might have to delete and recreate them | 00:27 |
| dr_willis | o0Chris0o, :) | 00:27 |
| kitche | uffo: pango is not a system library next time install a ubuntu made package | 00:27 |
| Schuenemann | HymnToLife, I tried qtparted. It is a bit crazy, the free space of a partition is shown in a different one | 00:27 |

| HerrBrand | i instald vsftpd and made a pam file database en conf file | 00:33 |
| HerrBrand | i get no errors | 00:33 |
| HymnToLife | Schuenemann: no, only the ones that overlap | 00:33 |
| HerrBrand | but when i try to login it say login fail 530 | 00:33 |
| 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 |
| n00b`1 | i read canonical will be selling licenses to play dVd on my computer | 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".

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| matt____1 | psynophile: What exactly does the -e do? | 01:19 |
| psynophile | matt___1: you may have to store your mysql username and password in the script, which sucks, but if you gotta do it, you gotta do it | 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 |
| neutrinn | I just downloaded the Fotoxx tar.gz package but I can not install the sowftware from the Desktop | 01:20 |
| Macro_Zzz | brb, reboot | 01:21 |
| neutrinn | somebody can help | 01:21 |
| neutrinn | please | 01:21 |
| psynophile | matt___1: or something like that, adjust it to fit your environment | 01:21 |
| matt____1 | $1 is the variable that I've just "read" after an echo, right? | 01:21 |
| matt____1 | psynophile: Oh shoot. It's been so long since I've bashed something like that...I'll have to relearn the variables. | 01:21 |
| psynophile | matt___1: $1 $2 $3 are the sequential variables | 01:21 |
| * ElijahDuBarryVT I'll be back! | 01:22 | |
| unop | psynophile, matt____, are you writing a shell script? because if you are positional parameters are not expanded in single quotes | 01:22 |
| 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 |

| 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 |

| belkinhelp2 | how do I use the GUI to make the setting change | 01:36 |
| matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: ahh..nice. | 01:36 |

| 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 |

| _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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| mcquaid | s/b an easier way to grab just the module src from the latest kern and compile it for 2.6.24 instead of compiling the whole kern | 01:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Bash removes the "..." quotes when it processes the command-line | 01:52 |
| unop | matt____, i was referring to "--password=something" | 01:52 |
| Scunizi | Bajoran: cd | 01:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unop: Yes, that works | 01:52 |
| matt____ | unop: it worked... | 01:52 |
| unop | IntuitiveNipple, well, it's not normal - but i guess if it works, it works | 01:52 |
| Bajoran | thx | 01:53 |
| jevon | question: Is there a way to use a computer to phone someone's home phone | 01:53 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unop: It is... that's what bash does | 01:53 |
| ZoneOUT | says the licence agreement then has okay do I type something to accept | 01:53 |
| ZoneOUT | or hit a command I've tried enter. | 01:53 |
| belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....ugh....how do i go back to a previous menu | 01:53 |
| belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....in xorg | 01:53 |
| 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 |
| Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: You can't | 01:53 |
| belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....lol | 01:53 |
| belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....i feel like such a fish | 01:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | unop: bash ensures that anything wrapped in double-quotes is passed as a single command-line argument (e.g. $2) | 01:54 |
| user01 | it is hardy heroin | 01:54 |
| 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 |
| fezoulid | ogo | 01:54 |
| unop | IntuitiveNipple, i said never mind - i'm not interested in how mysql processes command line options | 01:54 |
| user01 | any ideas? | 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 |
| matt____ | unop: Only myself... | 01:55 |
| Scunizi | !install | nubuntu | 01:55 |
| ubottu | nubuntu: 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 | 01:55 |
| matt____ | unop: I'll be the only one to use it...supposedly anyway. | 01:56 |
| unop | matt____, then make sure only you have the ability to read the script then | 01:56 |
| IntuitiveNipple | matt____: why not keep the password locally? | 01:56 |
| mn | "You should never use normal sudo to start graphical applications as root. You should use gksudo to run such programs" Why? | 01:56 |
| belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....how do i restart X | 01:56 |
| nubuntu | have been looking at this page: http://mulinux.sunsite.dk/linux_install.html | 01:56 |
| matt____ | IntuitiveNipple: What do you mean...keep it locally? | 01:56 |
| belkinhelp2 | Jordan_U....just restart the machine? | 01:56 |

| Pici | !br | Batatoviskk | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Batatoviskk: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 01:57 |
| 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 |
| Batatoviskk | valeu cara e desculpa ae | 01:57 |
| Batatoviskk | Sorry | 01:57 |
| DasEi | ib_: google ubuntu radeon, which model ? | 01:57 |
| user01 | he said that amsn is not connecting | 01:57 |
| === FuriousGeorge is now known as Guest78381 | ||
| ib_ | Thanks. | 01:58 |
| ib_ | =] | 01:58 |
| Scunizi | nubuntu: maybe not.. busybox maybe.. or DSL "Damn Small Linux" | 01:58 |
| DasEi | ib_: which model ? | 01:58 |
| nubuntu | Scunizi: also doesn't have eth0 port | 01:58 |
| ZoneOUT | psynophile?? anyhow got it thanks... | 01:58 |
| ZoneOUT | now to see if it works!! lol | 01:58 |
| IntuitiveNipple | matt____: try this: http://pastebin.com/d2952aca6 | 01:58 |
| Scunizi | nubuntu: sounds like a real project | 01:58 |
| Scunizi | nubuntu: you might ask on #linux | 01:58 |
| 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 |
| === Gun_Smoke_ is now known as Gun_Smoke | ||
| unop | _Zeus_, ok, you don't - but that doesn't mean others don't also - careful with your suggestions | 02:04 |
| _Zeus_ | unop: I did exactly what he wanted, and if he wanted that, i think he would know to not break anything | 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 |
| Batatoviskk | please amsn help no conect | 02:07 |
| Jordan_U | belkinhelp2: I would grab a hardy liveCD and see how many problems go away with it before doing anything else | 02:07 |
| ttwio | Hi all - cpu on 100% in idle ? | 02:07 |

| belkinhelp2 | DasEi....Ja habe ich | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | ttwio: Is it being taken up by evolution? | 02:08 |

| ttwio | _Zeus_: hi the top ? I have opend the System Monitor | 02:09 |

| daklan | matt____: bash is capable of calling functions | 02:09 |
| belkinhelp2 | DasEi....system sounds come through loud and clear | 02:09 |
| _Zeus_ | ttwio: sys monitor also works | 02:09 |

| 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 |
| tuxy | kitche: when i talk about the browsers, i don't mean difference in features, sometimes i hear that there a different supports | 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 |
| tuxy | Flannel: please tell me | 02:45 |
| JaseX | I've noticed if the fans fail it will do that as well | 02:45 |
| Flannel | tuxy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser#Setting%20Opera%20as%20default%20browser%20in%20GNOME | 02:45 |

| JaseX | corunum: head over to the forums, there's some great topics on it, if you give me a moment I can find one for you, that I especially like. | 02:45 |
| JaseX | Yes coler. | 02:45 |
| coler | seems to be fine | 02:45 |
| coler | so nothing i can do? | 02:46 |
| JaseX | The system locks up all the way right? | 02:46 |
| corunum | I'll hit google up again, thanks :) | 02:46 |
| 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 |
| TheKiNG | My sound is randomly dying on me | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 | WDC: If no one knows the answer, they won't answer you. Be patient, repeat every 20-30 minutes, and sooner or later someone who knows the answer will be awake, and answer. | 03:02 |
| coler | do I need to do anything, activate it or somehting | 03:02 |
| Desktop-Kyle | yeah, i like to give back to the community. | 03:02 |
| JaseX | WDC | 03:02 |

| Desktop-Kyle | coler, you will not need to activate anything after the initial ubuntu install. | 03:03 |
| JaseX | just hit alt+f2 | 03:03 |
| JaseX | and type envyng-gtk | 03:03 |
| _paneb | does anyone use setuptools? | 03:03 |
| JaseX | and it should open it. | 03:03 |
| Desktop-Kyle | das_maze, i'm a linux geek. | 03:03 |
| Desktop-Kyle | :) | 03:03 |
| bobbob1016 | I'm trying to run a program in wine, and even though I set it to a virtual desktop, it keeps going fullscreen, and resizing my resolution. Any ideas? | 03:04 |
| Desktop-Kyle | WDC, sorry, can't help as i know nothing about VMWare | 03:04 |
| WDC | Desktop-Kyle: thanks for, responding | 03:04 |
| Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, you must have enabled it through the wine configuration | 03:04 |
| Desktop-Kyle | WDC, i'm very involved in IRC, i always respond | 03:04 |
| bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, I did, and do now. | 03:04 |
| admin69 | has anyone been able to install guild wars on wine? | 03:04 |
| JaseX | Hmm what are you trying to do WDC and what OS is the guest... | 03:04 |
| Desktop-Kyle | admin69, nope, haven't tryed as my computer is unable to run it. | 03:05 |
| ruth | hello to all off you guys | 03:05 |
| Desktop-Kyle | ruth, Hey1 | 03:05 |
| Desktop-Kyle | ruth, mybad .. Hey!* | 03:05 |
| WDC | JaseX: my question was very straightforward | 03:05 |
| ruth | i am to old for all this | 03:05 |
| Ziroday | WDC: this is an ubuntu support channel not a vmware channel | 03:05 |
| Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, you need to uncheck a setting in wine | 03:05 |
| WDC | JaseX: Desktop-Kyle; i found what the problem was. thanks for tie | 03:05 |
| WDC | Ziroday: okay | 03:05 |
| roukoun | does anyone knows how to launch a video or a track from console | 03:05 |
| SimplySeth | any channels dedicated to bash scripting ? | 03:06 |
| Ziroday | roukoun: into a player in a gui? | 03:06 |
| CzarAlex | My users have a public_html folder but are unable to access their files via http://localhost/~user , do I need to do something else here? | 03:06 |
| bobbob1016 | Desktop-Kyle, Uncheck the setting in winecfg and check it where? | 03:06 |
| Desktop-Kyle | SimplySeth, not as i know | 03:06 |
| Ziroday | SimplySeth: yes, #bash | 03:06 |
| SimplySeth | Ziroday: ahh thanks .. | 03:06 |
| DasEi | SimplySeth: #bash | 03:06 |
| roukoun | Ziroday: yes | 03:06 |
| Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, there's a setting in there about a virtual desktop uncheck that | 03:06 |
| 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 |
| CzarAlex | Flannel, Ah okay. Let's give that a try. | 03:07 |
| Ziroday | roukoun: eog /path/to/picture/file | 03:07 |
| JaseX | coler left? | 03:07 |
| JaseX | I hope the envyng-gtk thing worked | 03:07 |
| roukoun | Ziroday: thanx al lot | 03:07 |
| Ziroday | roukoun: have fun | 03:07 |
| Desktop-Kyle | bobbob1016, what i could reccomend is going to /home/ and enabling hidden folders cntrl and h | 03:08 |
| 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 |
| ubottu | derek, please see my private message | 03:12 |
| matt____1 | Flannel: 10-4 | 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 |

| KnomeDE | Ziroday: the fonts are pcf | 03:26 |

| Ziroday | FAJ: please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron5100 | 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 |

| 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 |

| athleone | formode: They keep saying something about anachronistic scheduler cron and battery state or something like that | 03:43 |

| 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, 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 |

| 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 |

| DasEi | BladeMcCool: install displayconfig-gtk and run it, config monitor, backup xorg before (video driver) sudo apt-get install displayconfig (!who) | 04:02 |
| unop | matt____1, infact you should bookmark this - http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide/ | 04:02 |

| IMaverick | Flannel, DasEi, iwant to search uninstalled available packages | 04:03 |

| KoN8392 | hi all | 04:05 |
| 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 |
| Flannel | KoN8392: alt-f2, gksu nautilus, be *very* careful and close it as soon as you're done. | 04:06 |
| pxwebdev_ | how can i capture the details of a shell telnet session to a text file? | 04:06 |
| DasEi | BladeMcCool:sudo apt-get install displayconfig | 04:06 |
| KoN8392 | cool thanks! | 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_ | 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 |

| 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 |

| shirish | I'm editing the /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:26 |

| Decepticon | unop even with my really different hardy heron | 04:26 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| DarknessssenkraD | hi anyone :P | 04:36 |
| katie_ | DasEi: ok ill see if that works | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

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

| 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 |
| DasEi | octoberdan :but what Romster said, just get a switch, its about 10 Euro, and never care 'bout patch/cross again | 05:52 |

| octoberdan | brolly81: Auto adjust is wonderful | 06:06 |
| mr_bmh | root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP | 06:07 |
| mr_bmh | mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntf' | 06:07 |
| Pici | riegersn: No, none of the installs (except the Server install, and thats just some of the tasksel packages) let you pick which packages you want to install during install. | 06:07 |
| Flannel | Pici: alternate CD with expert mode will. | 06:07 |
| _2 | mr_bmh i told you already it's probably not sda4 try sda5 | 06:07 |

| mr_bmh | This partition is invisible by manuafacture, there stored my WinXP recovery | 06:07 |
| DasEi | mr_bmh:k, then : sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /media/Winxp , ntfs, not ntf ? | 06:07 |
| Pici | Flannel: Minimal though? | 06:07 |
| danbh_intrepid | !xconfig > octoberdan | 06:08 |
| ubottu | octoberdan, please see my private message | 06:08 |
| Romster | mr_bmh, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP | 06:08 |
| Flannel | Pici: minimal and alternate are the same installer, so sure. | 06:08 |
| mr_bmh | okie | 06:08 |
| Romster | mr_bmh, it is indeed a NTFS FS | 06:08 |
| Pici | riegersn: I stand corrected, see Flannel's responses. | 06:08 |
| Romster | if you don't have ntfs-3g installed install it first. | 06:08 |
| _2 | Romster sda5 not sda4 i'm guessing | 06:08 |
| mr_bmh | root@bmh-laptop:/home/bmh# sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /media/WinXP | 06:08 |

| mr_bmh | The device '/dev/sda4' doesn't have a valid NTFS. | 06:08 |

| Flannel | mr_bmh: Please stop pasting. You've been told before. | 06:08 |
| Macrosoft | Romster: he could just use mount -t ntfs-3g | 06:08 |
| Romster | mr_bmh, for goodness sake use a pastebin for more than 2 lines | 06:09 |
| DasEi | Romster: man mount ???, mr_bmh | 06:09 |
| riegersn | Flannel, Pici, thanks | 06:09 |
| gluonman | I tried to ask this question in #vbox, but almost no one ever talks on that channel (at least when I'm there). So I'll ask again here: I install virtualbox and I'm having trouble install Windows XP on my .vdi. The installation will begin, but halfway through Vbox will restart the installation from a prior point. It cannot finish installing, it always restarts to the same point every time. What's wrong? | 06:09 |
| mr_bmh | Sir I had read the man mount also | 06:09 |
| _2 | sda5 | 06:09 |
| mr_bmh | I did not understand why this partition could not mount | 06:09 |
| Flannel | riegersn: You just needto activate expert mode. Which I think on the modern ones means hand typing "expert" as an option (but I don't know for sure) | 06:09 |

| Romster | Macrosoft, DasEi ah true ntfs-3g does have a helper script /usr/bin/ntfs-3g.probe | 06:10 |
| ryan_ | How can you tell if you have a CD burner? | 06:10 |
| Macrosoft | mr_bmh: use sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/<wherever> | 06:10 |
| Romster | it would be mount -t ntfs-3g ... | 06:11 |
| octoberdan | dmesg shows no errors. xstart shows that there is a problem with my touchpad, which I've known about. | 06:11 |
| DasEi | ryan_:lspci & hwinfo | 06:11 |
| mr_bmh | @Macrosoft: I had done as you told but got the same result like ntfs | 06:11 |
| mr_bmh | hmmmmm | 06:11 |
| octoberdan | danbh_intrepid: Thank you, but the command didn't help | 06:11 |
| riegersn | Flannel, thanks I have the minimal iso, i'll check it out ;) | 06:11 |
| DasEi | mr_bmh:run gparted to check correct-fs-type | 06:11 |
| _2 | mr_bmh you can NOT mount a partition, you can only mount file systems <mr_bmh> /dev/sda4 3456 14593 89465985 f W95 Ext'd <<<< that is never going to mount. | 06:11 |

| _2 | ryan_ lshw -C cdrom | 06:12 |
| gluonman | Can anyone help me understand why my installation of Windows XP on my VIrtualBox (host == Ubuntu 8.04) can never seem to finish? Without fail the installation will restart at the same spot. | 06:12 |
| goldmetal | octoberdan, never mind | 06:12 |
| DasEi | _2: thats not right | 06:12 |
| octoberdan | gluonman: Which spot? | 06:12 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: yes, those should be "a" But, that's not necessarily because the R stands for "remote" | 06:12 |
| _2 | ryan_ not sure about the class "cdrom" may be wrong. | 06:13 |
| octoberdan | so reconfiguring didn't work, what's the next step? | 06:13 |
| _2 | DasEi which ? | 06:13 |
| chalcedony | does anyone know how to make an icon you created, appear in the Applications submenu, like where the xchat and pigeon icons are? | 06:13 |
| gluonman | octoberdan, after the Windows Installing section is complete. I will state my language/region, my name and organization, my time zone, and then an install bar will complete, and then it restarts. | 06:13 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: oh, and yes, that's redundant on call as well | 06:13 |
| octoberdan | How would I confirm there isn't a problem with my video card? My video card was working with X as of right before I killed the monitor. I have no idea if it was also damaged, but I doubt it. | 06:13 |
| DasEi | _2: u can mount /dev/sda4 | 06:13 |
| ryan_ | _2 yeah its wrong | 06:14 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: Thank you for commenting. | 06:14 |
| _2 | DasEi an extended partition ? | 06:14 |
| octoberdan | gluonman: May be it finished? | 06:14 |
| _2 | ryan_ lshw | less and scroll down... | 06:14 |
| gluonman | octoberdan, nope. | 06:14 |
| DasEi | _2: why not ? is same like fstab | 06:14 |
| octoberdan | gluonman: At that point I believe stuff has been installed, enough to be bootable | 06:14 |
| gluonman | octoberdan, if I start the .vdi, it takes me to the installation. | 06:14 |
| _2 | DasEi because extended partitions don't have file systems you don't format them. | 06:15 |
| gluonman | octoberdan, I'll try again, but so far I haven't gotten past the installation. | 06:15 |
| octoberdan | gluonman: I'm not sure how it works, I'm only going off what I know about Windows... sorry. | 06:15 |
| DasEi | mr_bmh:what is gparted showing about sda4 ? | 06:15 |

| 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 |

| 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 | 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 |

| BeBoo | Hi everyone. I downloaded the nvidia drivers and found a tutorial on how to get tv working with the S-Video port and it works great except the video on the tv is in black and white. Can anyone assist? | 06:57 |
| _2 | Gun_Smoke i think it will auto remove it tho | 06:58 |
| 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 |
| cheburek | what was the settings manager in kubuntu? | 07:02 |
| Gun_Smoke | dunno.. ask them.. | 07:03 |
| Gun_Smoke | kmaybe ksetting kmanager.. | 07:03 |
| Dabbu | jim_p: it is not showing there | 07:03 |
| jim_p | BeBoo: unfortunately i dont know in that detail, and the only person i can ask is now sleeping. sorry | 07:03 |
| _2 | i asked eariler in "an other channel" why using su - username asks for a password on accounts that have had passwd -d username ran on them. anyone here have dias ? | 07:03 |
| dody | hay | 07:03 |
| brandonmpace | cheburek: try in the channel #kubuntu | 07:03 |

| cheburek | it is silent there | 07:04 |
| cheburek | thanks | 07:04 |
| dody | ada yang ngertibahasa indonesia? | 07:04 |
| jim_p | Dabbu: does not show ppp connection?? what connections does it have? | 07:04 |
| Flannel | !id | dody | 07:04 |
| ubottu | dody: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 07:04 |
| brandonmpace | cheburek: k had to check | 07:04 |
| BeBoo | jim_p: no problem. Thanks for trying. I'll see if anyone else has any ideas and i'll keep looking | 07:04 |
| Dabbu | jim_p: its ppp | 07:04 |
| dody | caranya gimana? | 07:04 |
| jim_p | Dabbu: so you do have ppp! click on it and select Preferences from the button on the side | 07:05 |

| aji | HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 10.4. Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM | 07:06 |
| Dabbu | jim_p: leavce that..suppose i am connected using wvdial and my connection get desconnected every10-20 sec or more and it get reconnected again..what will be the reason | 07:07 |
| jim_p | Dabbu: i think that the user must me a member of a paricular group in order to activate dial up | 07:07 |
| Floid | Holy ___, he's from the future! | 07:07 |
| jetscreamer | nxmehta: primary is fine | 07:07 |
| Floid | And webcams still don't work in the future. o_o | 07:07 |
| n838901 | Gun_Smoke: no dice.. still logs user into the '/' directory | 07:08 |

| mecha | anyone help me with synergy please? | 07:09 |
| _2 | Daft_Punk repete; i asked eariler in "an other channel" why using su - username asks for a password on accounts that have had passwd -d username ran on them. anyone here have dias ? | 07:09 |
| Gun_Smoke | n838901, have a look at /etc/vsftpd.conf | 07:09 |
| TiMiDo | CorbinFox, not erally | 07:09 |
| TiMiDo | *not really | 07:09 |
| n838901 | i did | 07:09 |
| Floid | Corbin: Should just be the individual programs, a logout/login will make sure. | 07:09 |
| CorbinFox | because when i ran the little test button in the sound settings, it said that it was still being used by another application | 07:09 |
| TiMiDo | just restart you're X and that's it | 07:09 |
| Timberwolf5578 | What can I use for Yahoo Messenger for Linux??? | 07:09 |
| Daft_Punk | because SU is superuser (root) and needs password permission because you are not logged in AS root | 07:09 |
| TiMiDo | CorbinFox, just restart X and you're done | 07:10 |
| CorbinFox | timido: thanks :D will do in a bit | 07:10 |
| TiMiDo | log out. and logged in | 07:10 |
| Floid | Unless he does have something wedging the device open, of course. :) | 07:10 |
| jdnewmil | DasEi : I am not worried about whether Hardy is stable... every time I upgrade I have to spend hours cleaning up the mess, and one thing they always say is update all packages before a version upgrade. I would not like to have to keep using my old kernel under Hardy, so I would like to figure out what the problem is before upgrading. | 07:10 |
| TiMiDo | CorbinFox, don't forget to do adduser User audio | 07:10 |
| Daft_Punk | question: what species of bear is best? | 07:10 |
| _2 | Daft_Punk su is "switch users" su - username . | 07:10 |
| TiMiDo | su - user name? | 07:11 |
| CorbinFox | timido: which is? | 07:11 |
| TiMiDo | i believed is sudo | 07:11 |
| Floid | jdnewmil: What is the issue? | 07:11 |
| aji | HI Am usind DELL Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu 10.4. Can any buddy help me to install my WEBCAM | 07:11 |
| sca | hi everybody | 07:11 |
| cheburek | ubuntuforums.org down? | 07:11 |
| sca | can someone help out | 07:11 |
| swimb | down for me too | 07:11 |
| Daft_Punk | _2, sorry i was thinking of suse | 07:11 |
| Pici | aji: Please clarify the version of Ubuntu you are using 10.4 does not exist. | 07:11 |
| TiMiDo | AJC_Z0, depends if you're webcam is. Compatible with linux | 07:11 |
| TiMiDo | aji du uname -r | 07:12 |
| sca | i can't hear multiple audio aplications just one | 07:12 |
| _2 | Daft_Punk no problem. | 07:12 |
| Daft_Punk | sca, use pulseaudio drivers (dont always work on multiple apps) | 07:12 |
| aji | aji -r | 07:12 |
| 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... | 07:12 |
| Pie-rate | does kubuntu-desktop install KDE 3.5 or 4? | 07:13 |
| Floid | Define "won't boot." | 07:13 |
| Gun_Smoke | If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot() jail in their home directory after login. 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 |
| Gun_Smoke | Default: NO | 07:13 |
| Floid | How far does it get? | 07:13 |
| _2 | aji no. uname -r uname -a uname --help .... | 07:13 |
| sca | no alsa? | 07:13 |
| Floid | And what are the chances that you're booting from a CD? | 07:13 |
| TiMiDo | Pie-rate, 3.5 at the moment | 07:13 |
| Pici | !version | 07:13 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 07:13 |
| aji | :)) 10.04 | 07:13 |
| jdnewmil | Floid: grub tries to load the kernel and it freezes ... last thing printed is (boot) | 07:13 |
| Pie-rate | TiMiDo: can i get 4? | 07:13 |
| Pici | aji: 10.04 does not exist. | 07:13 |
| TiMiDo | try and see if there's any backports. | 07:13 |
| Timberwolf5578 | Can someone please tell me the name of the messenger program that can handle yahoo. msn, etc??? | 07:13 |
| Daft_Punk | sca, pulseaudio works best for multiple apps, for isntance it works on VM (windows) and linux at the same time but some things like amarok and youtube wont work together | 07:13 |
| aji | 7.04 :) | 07:13 |
| Floid | Oh, if you can pick an old kernel I guess you're not on CD. Hmm. | 07:13 |
| Pici | Timberwolf5578: pidgin | 07:14 |
| Daft_Punk | Timberwolf5578, pidgin | 07:14 |
| unop | _2, su does the checking against the passwd database only after it has gather credentials and command etc from you - and it is programmed to ask for a password none-theless | 07:14 |
| Timberwolf5578 | thanks | 07:14 |
| sca | mmm | 07:14 |
| CorbinFox | timido: do what? add what? | 07:14 |
| Pie-rate | TiMiDo: "Kubuntu is available both with KDE 3.5 and KDE 4." -wikipedia | 07:14 |
| Floid | Actually, I also read "Gutsy" as "Hardy," so ignore me. | 07:14 |
| jim_p_busy | sorry, i just had a mini blackout | 07:14 |
| TiMiDo | CorbinFox, you're self to the audio group adduser USERNAME audio | 07:14 |
| TiMiDo | okey | 07:14 |

| 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 |
| === nosbig_ is now known as nosbig | ||
| 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 |
| Pie-rate | TiMiDo: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop', for future reference | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

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 |
| unop | linuxhelp-Suppor, we don't live in stalinish russia :) everyone has a choice | 07:46 |
| Brainyiscool | Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky? I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used. When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of hte partitions on hte IDE drive | 07:46 |
| === Veyron is now known as Golgo | ||
| Tenebrys | I have Vista and XP (vista as a kind of tryout thing.) The Ubuntu partition had stopped working. | 07:47 |
| Brainyiscool | I can boot into both Windows and Linus on the drive (Dual boot), so i know it is partitioned | 07:47 |
| vampirefrog | in soviet russia, the partition uses YOU as home | 07:47 |
| Tenebrys | So I erased it. | 07:47 |
| bmoc | Agent_bob, that sounds like a plan. going to read up alittle so I dont bork it up. ty so much for the advice. | 07:47 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | sorry i can't scroll backwards to the guy who asked for home | 07:47 |
| Brainyiscool | vampirefrog: I can has real help plzkthanxbai | 07:47 |
| Agent_bob | bmoc welcome. | 07:48 |
| brandonmpace | Tenebrys: do a repair install with your vista disc and that´ll fix it | 07:48 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | i use command line irc | 07:48 |
| Tenebrys | Repair install... hmmmmmm. Would that do damage to existing files and setups? | 07:48 |
| brandonmpace | no | 07:48 |
| 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 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | i do not often use console-irc but at my work i must use | 07:49 |
| Tenebrys | I'll be back soon. | 07:49 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | can't setup xchat..:-( | 07:49 |
| Agent_bob | linuxhelp-Suppor irssi supports scroll-back-buffering accessable via page-up as does also epic/bitchx not sure what client you are using | 07:51 |
| tenX | hi guys | 07:51 |
| Agent_bob | linuxhelp-Suppor if xchat-text then i simpathize with you... | 07:52 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | use iirc | 07:52 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | was long time ago i was at irc..sorry | 07:53 |
| Brainyiscool | Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky? I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used. When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of the partitions on the IDE drive | 07:53 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | but after some fresh setups of hardy i have seen ubuntu channel now i am here | 07:53 |
| magnetron | linuxhelp-Suppor, welcome | 07:54 |
| tenX | is there any commoin workaround for sata based systems not being able to completely turn off by shutdown or similar instructions? error scanning IDE devs is the last error msg | 07:54 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | Hello :-) | 07:55 |
| tenX | hi | 07:55 |
| magnetron | hello there! | 07:55 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | here in germany ubuntu pc are more popular then ever :-) | 07:55 |
| Rufus | OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Please someone help | 07:56 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | thanks to M$-Viesta | 07:56 |
| linuxhelp-Suppor | ;-) | 07:56 |
| Brainyiscool_ | Hm, accidently left and perhaps missed an answer | 07:56 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 07:56 |
| Brainyiscool_ | Anyone have any idea why GParted is flaky? I have 2 HD's, one IDE that I boot from and one SATA that is currently not used. When i went to Gparted to partition the SATA drive, I noticed it did not detect the any of the partitions on the IDE drive | 07:56 |
| magnetron | linuxhelp-Suppor, please join #ubuntu-offtopic , i want to ask you about that | 07:56 |
| magnetron | !rufus | 07:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rufus | 07:56 |
| Rufus | I just upgraded my server from 6 to 8 and now all I get is BusyBox v1.1.3 and an (initramfs) screen. All my stuff is on this server. HELP!!!! | 07:56 |
| Tenebrys | No luck. And here's the odd part. | 07:57 |
| brandonmpace | Rufus: can you use an ubuntu desktop live cd an copy it off? | 07:58 |
| amanu | how can i mount .iso file in ubuntu | 07:58 |
| Rufus | I might be able to, but I'd really like to fix this | 07:58 |
| Tenebrys | I used the Vista bootloader modifier "EasyBCD" earlier to configure my system so that I could boot either Vista or XP. | 07:58 |
| hateball | !info gnome-mount | amanu | 07:58 |
| 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 |

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

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| monotonous | sweet thanks ciel420 | 08:31 |

| JaseX | amanu: try system-monitor | 08:33 |
| B3z3rk3r | perhaps it isnt the mouse, but a corrupted driver of some sort? | 08:33 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| JaseX | I am trying to break it I promise. | 09:13 |
| 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 |
| C0R3-X | Guys, how to run .msi files with wine??? :/ | 09:25 |
| FAJ | test | 09:25 |
| FAJ | brandonmpace: did you get that? | 09:25 |
| brandonmpace | alexcamilo: nope. you do need to go and install using add/remove the nvidia-legacy package | 09:25 |
| brandonmpace | FAJ: yes | 09:25 |
| alexcamilo | ah cool | 09:25 |
| alexcamilo | awesome | 09:25 |
| mistform | Massiv0r, i was able to run lineage 2before, but I haven't run the game in at least 6 mo. | 09:26 |
| JaseX | Anyone want to take a crack at my kernel problem? | 09:26 |
| Massiv0r | Mistform: which Ubuntu version you have being using? | 09:26 |
| brandonmpace | FAJ: you can left click on the network manager in the top right of the screen and see if any networks show up | 09:26 |
| 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 |
| brandonmpace | Massiv0r: try getting the latest wine from http://www.winehq.org/ | 09:28 |

| Massiv0r | mistform: yes i know 9.50 smth Wine was running great L2 but on 8.04 i just can't install 9.50 Version so it doesn't work properly | 09:31 |
| brandonmpace | rblst: set it up using system>preferences>sound | 09:31 |
| JaseX | man i had a spiffy idea for a macbook... but i don't know if colorware will do it. | 09:31 |
| Massiv0r | Jasex: you mean with good fps or just running? you was able to play at an kinda olc pc? | 09:31 |
| JaseX | Massiv0r: I got good response. | 09:32 |
| JaseX | with compiz disabled and nothing running in ubuntu Massiv0r | 09:32 |
| Massiv0r | Jasex: what were your computer Specifications? | 09:32 |
| JaseX | just virtualbox and windowsxp guest | 09:32 |
| mistform | Massiv0r, do you have the newest version of wine? | 09:32 |
| JaseX | Intel Duo Core 1.83ghz 3 gigs ram nvidia 8600 ms | 09:33 |
| Massiv0r | mistoform: yes i did (1.1.5) | 09:33 |
| Massiv0r | Jasex: lol mine is like a p4 @ 2.8ghz ht,1gb ram,nviida 7600gs only | 09:34 |
| Massiv0r | Jasex: i wouldn't even be able to open the Client | 09:34 |
| mistform | Massiv0r, my p4stock at2.4. | 09:34 |
| rblst | brandonmpace: i cannot see any recording settings there | 09:34 |
| brandonmpace | Massiv0r: that should run it if you use virtualbox with a winxp guest | 09:34 |
| ZKAT8IT | does 3d even work with ati cards? or only a select few? | 09:35 |
| brandonmpace | rblst: under Audio Conferencing. Sound Capture: | 09:35 |
| mistform | ZKAT8IT, most cards. | 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 |
| C0R3-X | ok | 09:42 |
| Massiv0r | so if jim_p is right,i won't be able to play games at Virtual Box | 09:42 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: find the default and count from 0 until you get to the windows option if you want that | 09:42 |
| jim_p | Massiv0r: you wont. vbox relies on virtual hardware | 09:42 |
| JaseX | Massiv0r: 3D acceleration is kind of unnecessary for Lineage anyways. If you were running in wine, it wouldn't help much anyways | 09:42 |
| HappyHater | if gaming is that much of a priority, dual boot | 09:43 |
| FedererRoger | How to make seamsly mode in Virtualbox work with my 4 Monitors of 24 inches?? | 09:43 |
| brandonmpace | lol | 09:43 |
| Massiv0r | whats the use of all of em? massive pr0n ? | 09:43 |
| JaseX | FedererRoger: just fullscreen it if ubuntu is already setup for your "4monitors of 24 inches" | 09:43 |
| DuKeS | brandonmpace: what exactly am i looking for? sorry im very new to this :P | 09:43 |
| jim_p | FedererRoger: do you have your desktop expanded in all 4 screens? | 09:44 |
| FedererRoger | Yes its all expanded | 09:44 |
| JaseX | brandonmpace: in DuKeS case I believe startupmanager would help, as it allows setting the default option quite easily. | 09:44 |
| FedererRoger | But virtualbox seamsly mode hungs | 09:44 |
| brandonmpace | yea but he may have already finished.. | 09:44 |
| C0R3-X | err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L - failed =[ | 09:44 |
| ZKAT8IT | does grub need to point to ntldr for winxp to boot? or can i just have grub point to the windows partitions and xp will launch from that? cause i have a missing ntldr right now when i try booting | 09:45 |
| DuKeS | nope :p im not sure what i'm looking for | 09:45 |
| JaseX | DuKes try this. | 09:45 |

| DuKeS | kk gimme a sec | 09:45 |
| JaseX | pmanager' | 09:46 |
| JaseX | Dukes then once you have it installed from command line you could do sudo startupmanager or from alt+f2 launch application 'gksu startupmanager' | 09:46 |
| JaseX | Awesome to have anyways because once you get used to ubuntu, it comes in handy sometimes. | 09:47 |
| FedererRoger | this is similar to my desktop http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2008/03/04/amd_780g_chipset/amd_780g___5120_pixel_desktop.jpg | 09:48 |

| ompaul | FedererRoger, happy hacking you never answered my question so I guess I have to call you a troll | 09:48 |
| FedererRoger | what question? | 09:48 |
| ompaul | the ifconfig in a pastebin | 09:49 |
| Massiv0r | Does anyone can decrypt some wine Errors that spikes when im running lineage2 ? | 09:49 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: You are quite welcome, glad that I actually helped someone... | 09:49 |
| FedererRoger | ompaul: ahhh sorry i missed... but i resolved.. was a postfix issue | 09:49 |
| brandonmpace | Massiv0r: you could try googling them | 09:49 |
| DuKeS | lol cant believe it was so easy | 09:49 |
| ompaul | FedererRoger, well I suggest you do that for your four monitors | 09:49 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: lol yea I forgot about that | 09:49 |
| DuKeS | :P | 09:50 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: somethings are, somethings aren't... this was one of the few things that have actually been made easier for beginners. | 09:50 |
| FedererRoger | now i need to find a solution for the virtualbox + ubuntu bug | 09:50 |
| Kasra[K] | hi all | 09:50 |
| Kasra[K] | is the ubuntuforums server down? | 09:50 |
| DuKeS | oh i know | 09:50 |
| JaseX | When ubuntu finally reaches where it wants to be, it aims to be plausible in every aspect of computing. | 09:50 |
| brandonmpace | lol JaseX the reason i thought of editing the actual file first is cause I´m old school | 09:50 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: welcome to the long haul. | 09:50 |
| DuKeS | i've been trying to figure out my video playback...for some reason it's choppy in all players :S | 09:50 |
| Massiv0r | brandonmpace: thanks indeed they are shown as bugs | 09:51 |
| brandonmpace | :D | 09:51 |
| JaseX | brandonmpace: I do that too, but I keep some tricks up my sleeves to aid beginners. | 09:51 |
| jin | DuKeS, do you have drivers installed for your gfx card? | 09:51 |
| Kasra[K] | when will it fix? | 09:51 |
| brandonmpace | Massiv0r: :D happy hunting | 09:51 |
| mistform | DuKeS, sometimes it's a hardware problem. Is your PSU stable? | 09:51 |
| DuKeS | lol thanx...it'll take me a bit of time to get used to ubuntu enough to ditch windows for the most part | 09:51 |
| vampur | hello every one | 09:51 |
| XB23 | hey guys how do i view a quota in ubuntu | 09:51 |
| XB23 | and how much of a quota is been used | 09:52 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: I don't blame you. but once you learn a bit more about it... I am sure you'll be happy to be free of the atrocity known as MSBob ;) | 09:52 |
| Massiv0r | brandonmpace: thanks but i don't see any solution =/ | 09:52 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: lol I´ve been doing this for four years and Linux has come a long way. Believe me, a loooong way | 09:52 |
| JaseX | Massiv0r: if you have windows why not use that. | 09:52 |
| DuKeS | JaseX: hehe yeah | 09:52 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: what brandonmpace says is correct, I've been using it for just about the same.... | 09:53 |
| brandonmpace | Massiv0r: k well did you see anything about anyone workin on the issue? | 09:53 |
| FedererRoger | if you pay for Ubuntu you can always reclaim support | 09:53 |
| DuKeS | oh i know...before i used to be one of the people who heard linux and would instantly associate it with either hackers or geeks:P | 09:53 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: well... it technically is hacking... taking something, ripping it apart, and making it better :D | 09:53 |
| Massiv0r | brandnmpace: nope only that ppl after 7.10 say that it isn't working properly (cause of wine) | 09:53 |
| DuKeS | u know what i mean though :) | 09:54 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: hacking really has a bad name due to the media... | 09:54 |
| Massiv0r | i dont feel like wasting 10 gb + 6-7 for l2 just for having Windows,that's why i use Ubuntu | 09:54 |
| vampur | could i have a small favour as i have installed linux in windows and for some time it was working well now i m having a prob with the pannels the both pannels are gone some hwere how can i restore them thnk you | 09:54 |
| brandonmpace | Massiv0r: well maybe you should find somewhere to put your say in that it needs to be fixed :) | 09:54 |
| Massiv0r | brandonmpace: none would confirm it cause very few people play lineage and use Linux,there are enough bug reports but none mod cares | 09:55 |
| JaseX | This channel makes me feel almost heroic, and makes me want to chainsmoke whilst shivering. | 09:55 |
| brandonmpace | lol I would | 09:55 |
| brandonmpace | that´s no fun :( | 09:55 |
| JaseX | vampur, is english your native language? | 09:55 |
| vampur | not really | 09:56 |
| DrDigital | so no one here knows how to do what i need? | 09:56 |
| JaseX | I am having a hard time understanding you, what do you speak? | 09:56 |
| DuKeS | hey regarding my choppy video playback...i've installed the nvidia drivers with envy and it seems to work fine because i can choose all my monitor's resolutions and effects work fine...video on the other hand (.avi) seems to have this low resolution and a weird line in the middle of the screen | 09:56 |
| bazhang | !resetpanels | 09:56 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 09:56 |
| brandonmpace | DrDigital: what is your problem? | 09:56 |
| Massiv0r | Jasex: he probably means he installed Wubi smth (Windows installer for ubuntu) | 09:56 |
| fdr | hi! Is it possible to burn a DVD with some files, and a later time add some more to it? how do I do that? Thank you! | 09:56 |
| DrDigital | i have 2 networks on 1 computer, i want to allow someone to vnc from the internet into one | 09:57 |
| JaseX | fdr, you would want to leave the session open rather than closing it. | 09:57 |
| DrDigital | and use the other to access a web interface | 09:57 |
| TiMiDo | !google tmsnc | 09:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about google tmsnc | 09:57 |
| DrDigital | almost like a vpn, but all graphical | 09:57 |
| vampur | jasex what i am asking is that some how i messed up with the panels and now i am not able to restore them so is there any way out so i can get the panels back | 09:57 |
| DrDigital | they are using vnc to teach me how to do it myself | 09:58 |
| brandonmpace | !vnc | DrDigital | 09:58 |
| ubottu | DrDigital: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 09:58 |

| vampur | but dear i am not geting the terminal window too | 09:58 |
| fdr | JaseX, thanks, I guessed it was something like that... so I guess my questions now are: 1) can I leave the session open using the burner that is integrated with nautilus? 2) how do I "import" the old session to add files to it? thx | 09:58 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | how much space should I set aside for ubuntu as a minimum? | 09:58 |

| brandonmpace | hmm | 09:58 |
| JaseX | fdr I am unsure as I use Brasero. | 09:58 |
| DrDigital | i cant access http://192.168.1.2 | 09:58 |
| Massiv0r | Vampu: you should add applications applet | 09:58 |
| DrDigital | because its using the wrong NIC | 09:59 |
| JaseX | vampur try hitting alt+ctrl+f2 | 09:59 |
| vampur | please pardon me massivor | 09:59 |
| JaseX | that should get you a terminal | 09:59 |
| fdr | JaseX, in other words, are you confirming me that with Brasero it's possible? | 09:59 |
| DuKeS | hey can anyone help with the video display problem? i'd highly appreciate it since it's one of the main reasons i go back to windows, to watch movies :S | 09:59 |

| JaseX | How does it work DuKeS ? | 10:11 |

| brandonmpace | ariel_: what´s your problem? | 10:20 |
| JaseX | look at capabilities DuKeS | 10:20 |

| Guest27897 | Hi all. I've followed the instructions (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent) to create a persistent Live USB installation, however when I come to boot from the USB HDD I get an error 17 form grub. I get the same result when I install directly to the external drive and when I copy the ISO to the external drive. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? | 10:41 |
| JaseX | cheeky one moment | 10:41 |
| Cheeky | brandonmpace: yeah thank you i already read it and it mentions that hwen your connection is refused you need to set your firwall or router os something | 10:41 |
| Cheeky | tenX: i already did | 10:41 |
| Cheeky | JaseX: ok | 10:41 |
| tenX | Cheeky: does your networking setup allow incoming connections? | 10:41 |
| JaseX | try this from the computer you want to ssh to... | 10:41 |
| JaseX | sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/16 to any port 22 | 10:41 |
| JaseX | that's a terminal command of course Cheeky | 10:41 |
| brandonmpace | Guest27897: this means that grub can not find the root partition containing the boot files. (menu.lst) | 10:42 |
| Saty-n | <Guest27897> is that a 64bit ? | 10:42 |
| Cheeky | JaseX: whao | 10:42 |
| Guest27897 | It's not 64 bit | 10:42 |

| JaseX | yes Cheeky | 10:43 |
| brandonmpace | Guest27897: this error usually requires a reinstall.... does it give you the option of going to console? | 10:43 |
| tenX | JaseX: ufw?? how can it enable you | 10:43 |
| Guest27897 | brandonmpace: No | 10:43 |

| tenX | JaseX: guis for iptable exist, i was just wondering if the basic setup with ufw had a background | 10:45 |
| Guest27897 | brandonmpace: That's not got a persistent filesystem and takes a year to boot | 10:46 |

| tenX | brandonmpace: its about my experience | 10:50 |
| zvacet | tenX : np | 10:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | i mean, without burning it to a cd and booting from that cd | 10:51 |
| brandonmpace | yao_ziyuan: that is not recommended | 10:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | can i directly run an exectuable file in the iso such as "cdromupgrade" | 10:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | brandonmpace: but is it possible? | 10:51 |
| brandonmpace | yao_ziyuan: maybe if you mount it | 10:51 |
| tenX | brandonmpace: and as i said, everything worked out fine until approx 3rd time usage | 10:51 |
| brandonmpace | !iso | yao_ziyuan | 10:52 |
| ubottu | yao_ziyuan: 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. | 10:52 |

| brandonmpace | I think so yao_ziyuan | 10:52 |
| tenX | brandonmpace: actually i worked around that using fat32 wrapping an iso system working like common cd booting distros like knoppix do, that did the job | 10:52 |

| IndyGunFreak | freestyler_: then something is prolly screwed up | 11:00 |
| brandonmpace | freestyler_: did you try the second link? | 11:00 |
| linduxed | brandonmpace: ok.... ive always heard that more than 50% of RAM is waste... | 11:00 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: i will check it out. | 11:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | freestyler_: but i don't see anything in those instructinos about using fdisk.. | 11:01 |
| brandonmpace | linduxed: from where! | 11:01 |
| === Laurens is now known as Laurens`oFF | ||
| DuKeS | hey guys i'm back with a new question...is there a way to get utorrent working on ubuntu? or whats a similar lightweight, simple interface application to download torrents from? | 11:01 |
| JaseX | Alright brandonmpace pray for my new SLiM+LXDE configuration. | 11:01 |
| brandonmpace | utorrent works in wine DuKeS | 11:01 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: the first link in Overwriting the Windows bootloader | 11:02 |
| Guest14949 | hi guys - I'm working on a wiki documentary page for create a USB-Boot device from the Intrepid Alpha Desktop CD - s.o. wanna help ? | 11:02 |
| === Laurens`oFF is now known as Laurens | ||
| DuKeS | wine? that emulation program? | 11:02 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: I would personally recommend transmission... though not as full featured as utorrent | 11:02 |
| zvacet | DuKeS : Ktorrent,Transmission.rtorrent | 11:02 |
| JaseX | You could also of course try Deluge, DuKeS | 11:03 |
| brandonmpace | Guest14949: why not go ask the people in #ubuntu+1 | 11:03 |
| DuKeS | well i just want it to be simple to set up like utorrent | 11:03 |
| umangme | DuKeS: bitTorrent? | 11:03 |
| * IndyGunFreak loves Transmission | 11:03 | |
| JaseX | DuKeS: transmission requires no setup really, and can be set to ask you where you want to save, though if you're looking for a similar program, Deluge is nice. | 11:04 |
| alexcamilo | does anyone know what a "milti zone error rate" in a drive's S.M.A.R.T status meens? | 11:04 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: trust me just use utorrent in wine, you´re familiar with it and it WILL run | 11:04 |
| DuKeS | how do i get wine? i'll try both wine and transmission see which one i like mor | 11:05 |
| DuKeS | more** | 11:05 |
| alexcamilo | and what high number meens? | 11:05 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: is there a way i can make a disk which will repair this? | 11:05 |
| brandonmpace | alexcamilo: sounds like ¨need new hard disk¨ to me | 11:05 |
| JaseX | DuKeS: do 'sudo apt-get install wine' | 11:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | freestyler_: you can try super grub disk i guess... Google it. | 11:05 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: then go download utorrent after that and just double click like usual :) | 11:05 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: i will google, thanks. | 11:05 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: after what JaseX said | 11:06 |
| alexcamilo | yah, i figured. but what exactly does it meen? | 11:06 |
| zvacet | !wine | DuKeS | 11:06 |
| ubottu | DuKeS: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 11:06 |
| umangme | DuKes: I don't suggest wine. It is better that you use a linux alternative since wine will consumer a lot of CPU | 11:06 |
| s0u][ight | hello does ubuntu make use of the intel turbo memory by default or not? | 11:06 |
| JaseX | brandonmpace: do you recall how to set debian to automatically start X as such and such user and go straight to the preferred desktop environment? | 11:06 |
| umangme | DuKeS: it's better you use Transmission or BitTorrent | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | s0u][ight: turbo memory...do you mean cpu cache? | 11:07 |
| brandonmpace | JaseX: you mean autologin? | 11:07 |
| JaseX | I recall it having something to do with innitab. | 11:07 |
| JaseX | I don't want a Display Manager actually. | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !torrent | DuKeS | 11:07 |
| ubottu | DuKeS: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 11:07 |
| DuKeS | umangme: i'll try wine since i'm so familiar with utorrent and i'll try both of those u said too | 11:07 |
| JaseX | but yes... | 11:07 |
| JaseX | autologin. | 11:07 |
| JaseX | and then starting of x. | 11:07 |
| s0u][ight | ActionParsnip, i have an acer aspire 5920 with 1GB intel turbo memory | 11:07 |
| Mavrik- | ActionParsnip, turbo memory is not CPU cache | 11:07 |
| s0u][ight | in windows had to download the driver manually and install | 11:07 |
| JaseX | and pushed straight into the environment, with no inbetween display manager hogging memory. | 11:07 |
| s0u][ight | so wondering my linux is making use of it or not? | 11:08 |
| linduxed | DuKeS: if you like the simplicity and small size of utorrent id go with deluge or aria2.....but thats just my oppinion | 11:08 |
| brandonmpace | JaseX: system>administration>login window> security tab | 11:08 |
| brandonmpace | JaseX: I think | 11:08 |
| alexcamilo | maybe a gremlin has taken up residence on your harddrive and is playing hopskotch with the platters .... reall quickly. | 11:09 |
| DuKeS | linduxed: yes thats exactly what i'm looking for...simple and small | 11:09 |
| alexcamilo | lol | 11:09 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: http://download.linux-live-cd.org/Super_Grub_Disk/download/binaries/sgd/cdrom/ i don't get what i shall do now :S What should i download?? | 11:09 |
| alexcamilo | and missing half the time | 11:09 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: utorrent takes up like no resources even when run with wine... | 11:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | freestyler_: download the current version iso, and burn it to a disk | 11:09 |
| DuKeS | yeah i'm still downloading wine...it's 60mb:P | 11:10 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: and whats the current version? :S | 11:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | freestyler_: look at the version numbers | 11:10 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | should I run ubuntu with VMWARE, or should I go the whole hog and install it - I don't want to install it really, I like using windows for it's Japanese support | 11:10 |
| freestyler_ | IndyGunFreak: Yeah i know, but which one shall i download? :S Sorry cuz i am a newbie... | 11:11 |
| zvacet | freestyler_ :supergrubdisk_0.9677.iso | 11:11 |
| brandonmpace | nevagonnagiveuup: vmware first, then if you like it >install | 11:11 |
| freestyler_ | zvacet: thanks | 11:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | freestyler_: i don't know how much more clear i can be... download hte iso of the current version and burn it | 11:11 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | I heard that its lame using it with windows, even if you like it | 11:11 |
| DuKeS | brandonmpace: ok wine installed fine do i need to set up anything or configure anything inside it? or just go to utorrent site and download the installer and double click it? | 11:11 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | wubi that was I mean | 11:11 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: the latter, just double click | 11:11 |
| tenX | nevagonnagiveuup: nothing is lame, it all depends on your purpose | 11:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | nevagonnagiveuup: i've never sued Wubi, but I've heard its OK.. but i wouldn't use it in Vmware... I'd install it in some fashion | 11:12 |
| Cheeky | can anyonehelp me i ran "dhclient" and it gave me no broadcome interface ... can some one help me figure thisout / | 11:12 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: if you really want though, in the terminal type winecfg | 11:12 |
| zvacet | freestyler_ : it is super_grub_disk_0.9722.iso sorry | 11:12 |
| JaseX | Sun is rising, that's my cue to hit the hay. | 11:12 |
| vampur | dear brandonmpace i tried a lot but couldn't the main prob is that somehow i lost the both top panel as well as lower panel which come by default linux and now what i am trying to get those defaults panel somehow but unable to do so . | 11:12 |
| brandonmpace | vampur: even after a restart? | 11:12 |
| tenX | Cheeky: dhclient needs an interface to be declared? | 11:12 |
| JaseX | goodnight brandonmpace, DuKeS and rest of room. | 11:13 |
| tenX | does your broadcom interface even exist? | 11:13 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | I can't install ubuntu! I have windows on my hard drive | 11:13 |
| brandonmpace | goodnight JaseX | 11:13 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | taking up the whole disk | 11:13 |
| Cheeky | tenX: i dunno | 11:13 |
| vampur | yes dear i restart the system many times and i couldn't find that power one panel too dear | 11:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | nevagonnagiveuup: ok, thats ridiculous, you can still install Ubuntu... | 11:13 |
| DuKeS | goodnight JaseX...thanx for all your help man :) | 11:13 |
| brandonmpace | nevagonnagiveuup: you can resize the partition.... | 11:13 |

| ghaleb__ | hello, when I start my freeradius server, I get the following error: rlm_eap: Failed to link EAP-Type/tls: rlm_eap_tls.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 11:13 |
| Cheeky | tenX: coz .. when i type in .. ifconfig -a all i see is .. 127.0.0.1 | 11:13 |
| tenX | Cheeky: thats all? :D | 11:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | nevagonnagiveuup: how much free hard drive space do you have | 11:13 |
| Fuse | err anybody know how toget the user list up on xchat? | 11:13 |
| Cheeky | i need to start the ssh client but it says connection refused! | 11:14 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 11:14 |
| brandonmpace | it´s on the right fuse | 11:14 |
| Cheeky | tenX: well more .. but .. thats the only ip address i see | 11:14 |
| grzes | hi | 11:14 |
| Fuse | brandonmpace: hmm usually is yeah, but it's on a button for some reason. maybe it's the gnome version. | 11:14 |
| Fuse | and wow, 1.2K users | 11:14 |
| grzes | how to change ipv6 to ipv4 on my eth0??? | 11:14 |
| grzes | ubuntuforums seems doesnt work.. | 11:15 |
| brandonmpace | Fuse: 1.3 lol | 11:15 |
| vampur | is there any way out to restore the default themes and settings of linux by any mean of ways | 11:15 |
| tenX | Cheeky: well as long as you dont specify addresses or instruct your devices to obtain networking details via dhcp its not gonna work | 11:15 |
| brandonmpace | grzes: server is down | 11:15 |
| tenX | Cheeky: its the same with windows, apart from the driver issue | 11:15 |
| grzes | ok, is there a quick way to change it ? | 11:15 |
| Fuse | anyway, I cam here for a Haskell channel. ciao! | 11:15 |
| Dabbu1 | what is the replacement for gtalk in ubuntu | 11:15 |
| DuKeS | brandonmpace: i double clicked the setup file but it's asking me where to install it to and defaults to C:\ is that location inside of linux or my real C:\ on my windows partition? | 11:15 |
| tenX | Cheeky: if you dont install network device drivers on windows, nothing aint gonna work as well | 11:15 |
| pexxi | Hi folks, | 11:16 |
| brandonmpace | Dabbu1: pidgin can do google talk | 11:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dabbu1: like Google Talk?.. pidgin can access google talk | 11:16 |
| Cheeky | tenX: so how to get to accept and ip from ther dhcp ? | 11:16 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: that is imaginary inside of linux partition | 11:16 |
| Dabbu1 | brandonmpace: voic chat is not possible | 11:16 |
| JuzzyD | Ubuntu forums seem to be down again, this is becoming semi regular. | 11:16 |
| DuKeS | ok:) | 11:16 |
| Cheeky | tenX: when i type in dhcp is says .. no interface found | 11:17 |
| s0u][ight | i'm going to ask again: is ubuntu using the intel turbo memory by default? | 11:17 |
| JuzzyD | Is anyone familiar with an issue that causes absolutely terrible USB transfer rates, and if it's possible to fix it? | 11:17 |
| zvacet | DuKeS : I think that C is your drive in wine and real C is under Z or something like that | 11:17 |
| pexxi | does anyone konws how nautilus finds tags of mp3's. I have mp3 where only nautilus shows tags neither v1 nor v2 tags are findable with other taggers | 11:17 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: your virtual c drive all you gotta do is go to your home folder, hit Ctrl+H then go to the folder .wine then .drive_c | 11:17 |
| vampur | is there any way out to restore the default themes and settings of linux by any mean of ways ???????? | 11:17 |
| matrix | hey guys. I already have grub 0.97 installed, i want to upgrade to grub 2, does this affect my current settings and menu.lst file ? | 11:17 |
| Dabbu1 | IndyGunFreak:i am not able to do voic chat in pidgin | 11:17 |
| Cheeky | tenX: can i pm you | 11:17 |
| brandonmpace | vampur: I hate to say but your situation may require a reinstall...:( | 11:18 |
| tenX | Cheeky: assumed your network device is working with a working driver provided you should be able to obtain networking stuff via dhcp | 11:18 |
| dsmith_ | remote ubuntu upgrades over nx, so boring | 11:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dabbu1: i'm not aware of any Linux client for Gtalk that will support voice... | 11:18 |
| Guest14949 | REINSTALL IS COOL | 11:18 |
| tenX | Cheeky: sure | 11:18 |
| DuKeS | ok got it installed:D | 11:18 |
| edo32mb | anyone know why and or how long ubuntuforums is down for? | 11:18 |
| airtonix | hamster is being replaced....be patient | 11:18 |
| Dabbu1 | IndyGunFreak: ok | 11:18 |
| vampur | any way other to restore | 11:18 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: your virtual c drive all you gotta do is go to your home folder, hit Ctrl+H then go to the folder .wine then .drive_c | 11:18 |
| dsmith_ | harry died? | 11:18 |
| Fuse | Hey guys, check this out: http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+suse%2C+gentoo%2C+fedora%2C+slackware&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 | 11:18 |
| Fuse | 2008 is truly the year of the Linux desktop. | 11:19 |
| brandonmpace | yes it most definitely is | 11:19 |
| dsmith_ | wow | 11:19 |
| JuzzyD | Truly, 2009 will be the year of people going back to Windows | 11:19 |
| brandonmpace | lol nope | 11:19 |
| Fuse | haha, doubtful | 11:19 |
| zvacet | pexxi : in nautilus you will see search tab clicl on it and type mp3 ohter way is to use tracker | 11:19 |
| Fuse | anybody who has taken the move to ubuntu has likely not undertaken the move lightly | 11:20 |
| JuzzyD | Guys, lets face it, if I was an average user, not someone with an interest in Linux | 11:20 |
| === umangme is now known as Guest57825 | ||
| DuKeS | brandonmpace: thanx nice to know where to find the c drive :) i'll test utorrent right now | 11:20 |
| JuzzyD | I would have well and truly gone back by now, I've had to fight with everything, and I'm still fighting | 11:20 |
| Fuse | Juzzy: since Vista was released, Linux market share has doubled? | 11:20 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: you´re welcome, I´m afraid I have to go to sleep now as it is 5:20 here lol | 11:20 |
| airtonix | DuKeS, why do you need utorrent? | 11:20 |
| Fuse | Odd, I'm not fighting. I fought with Hardy, though. | 11:21 |
| vampur | suppose if i uninstall it as i installed it in windows to try it out will it effect the windows and will i regain the space back which i parted for linux | 11:21 |
| brandonmpace | airtonix: because he prefers it | 11:21 |
| JuzzyD | It may have, but it's still not usable for the average punter. | 11:21 |
| airtonix | DuKeS, ie transmission is basically a clone of utorrent | 11:21 |
| Fuse | but by the same amount I fought with XP | 11:21 |
| JuzzyD | Im using Hardy, maybe thats my issue | 11:21 |
| Cheeky | airtonix: coz its faster download speed i guess | 11:21 |
| brandonmpace | vampur: that´s a lot of work | 11:21 |
| pexxi | zvacet: thanks no I've mp3 where only nautilus shows mp3 tags. How I can get the tags? | 11:21 |
| dsmith_ | anybody who has taken the move to ubuntu has likely not undertaken the move lightly....thats me | 11:21 |
| JuzzyD | For instance, I've been transferring an 800mb file to USB for the last 25 minutes | 11:21 |
| Fuse | wait I mean edgy | 11:21 |
| Fuse | 6.04 | 11:21 |
| bullgard4 | JuzzyD: Hardy is no issue. | 11:21 |
| dsmith_ | 25 mins? | 11:21 |
| airtonix | Cheeky, how is utorrent 'faster' than transmission since they are both using the same protocol? | 11:21 |
| DuKeS | i'll try both and see which one i end up keeping in linux...i want utorrent because it's what i use on windows and im familiar with it | 11:21 |
| dsmith_ | 8 mins for me or less | 11:21 |
| JuzzyD | Im almost 3/4 of the way there. People expect USB to just work | 11:21 |
| brandonmpace | airtonix: it is lighter, even in wine | 11:22 |
| maozhang | anyone have ejabberd setup on ubuntu? | 11:22 |
| dsmith_ | maozhang: openfire | 11:22 |
| JuzzyD | 25 minutes | 11:22 |
| DuKeS | and goodnight brandonmpace :) you've been a lot of help tonight too thanx | 11:22 |
| Fuse | JuzzyD: thing is it does. | 11:22 |
| airtonix | brandonmpace, lighter? as in file size....that contributes nothing to its ability to be 'faster' | 11:22 |
| JuzzyD | 329 k/sec | 11:22 |
| Fuse | you're an exception | 11:22 |
| maozhang | dsmith, i cant get pyaimt working with openfire | 11:22 |
| Fuse | but you get that anywhere | 11:22 |
| brandonmpace | DuKeS: you´re welcome and thankyou | 11:22 |
| Cheeky | airtonix: i dunno man . coz i used deluge and it was slow as hell ..and transmissions suddenly goes idle | 11:22 |
| brandonmpace | goodnight all | 11:22 |
| JuzzyD | But Im not an exception with Windows XP, you see where that is going? | 11:22 |
| Fuse | there's a big piece of software rolled out worldwide to millions of users with often very different hardware | 11:22 |
| dsmith_ | !pyaimt | 11:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pyaimt | 11:22 |
| Fuse | maybe not on this issue, but others are for XP | 11:23 |
| maozhang | dsmith_, its a program used to allow people with jabber accounts to connect to aim | 11:23 |
| ghaleb__ | hello, how can I get rlm_eap_tls.so module to run freeradius server ? | 11:23 |
| dsmith_ | use pidgin/kopete | 11:23 |
| Fuse | and certainly this is true for Vista | 11:23 |
| JuzzyD | It's better than my stints with Linux 5 years ago, come ahead in leaps and bounds | 11:23 |
| airtonix | Cheeky, are you using upnp and have you set some port forwarding from your router to your machine? that often is the reason many experience slow downlaods | 11:23 |
| maozhang | dsmith_, http://code.google.com/p/pyaimt/ | 11:23 |
| JuzzyD | Im just saying I don't think that ma and pa users are quite ready to swap over | 11:23 |
| maozhang | dsmith_, i want to create a jabber server using ejabberd, which works with pyaimt, so i can use google talk to connect to aim on my blackberry | 11:23 |
| dsmith_ | oh | 11:23 |
| Fuse | JuzzyD: anyway I'm not going to say ubuntu will take off in 09. I'm just saying Ubuntu only ever gets better, while Windows stagnates | 11:23 |
| grzes | how to change ipv6 to ipv4 on my eth0 on hardy??? | 11:23 |
| dsmith_ | hmmmm.....never tried that before | 11:24 |
| Fuse | it seems logical to conclude it will take off eventually | 11:24 |
| JuzzyD | Agreed | 11:24 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, on the contrary...if ma and pa bought a pc in the shop with ubuntu presinstalled they wouldnt care.... | 11:24 |
| JuzzyD | As I said, five years ago it was almost unworkable unless you were willing to put a lot of effort in, huge amounts. | 11:24 |
| JuzzyD | Now it's just small annoyances | 11:24 |
| maozhang | right now google talk is able to pull my aim contacts while this jabber server thats using pyaimt, but its unreliable because that server keeps going down | 11:24 |
| maozhang | thats why i want to start my own ejabberd server | 11:24 |
| Fuse | personally I dumped Windows completely this year. it's got to the point I can do that without hassle | 11:24 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | ma??? | 11:24 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, its the power users who 'think' they know how their machine works with windows are the ones who will never switch | 11:24 |
| Fuse | everything I can find on ubuntu | 11:24 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | pa??? | 11:25 |
| grzes | how to change ipv6 to ipv4 on my eth0 on hardy??? | 11:25 |
| Cheeky | airtonix: no i havent .. touched the router setting ever since i installed ubuntu but wat i did was select randomized pory selection on deluge and it was slow | 11:25 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, the windows power user is one who know the steps (clicks) required to get X working but understands nothing of the process involved....windows is for diagram driven intruction manuals | 11:25 |
| JuzzyD | So can you tell me how to fix the Pulse audio issue that forces me to restart after watching anything on youtube if I then want mp3's or avi's? | 11:25 |
| vampur | i am a newbie and some how while trying i lost my both top default panel as well as the lower panel . now when i tried this >>gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel<< i had an error of no process killed | 11:26 |
| Fuse | JuzzyD: dunno - I don't get that issue | 11:26 |
| Fuse | can I be an arsehole and tell you to reformat? | 11:26 |
| JuzzyD | You don't have to convince me airtonix, As far as Im concerned I'm better off on the open source side of the fence. | 11:26 |
| JuzzyD | Fuse, It's a known issue that FF3 + Flash = Havoc with Audio, a search for USB transfer rate also see | 11:27 |
| JuzzyD | see's a lot of results for the Ubuntu forum, so I'm definitely not alone. | 11:27 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, dont use pulse.. | 11:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | vampur: what happens when you try to run gnome-panel in a terminal windo? | 11:27 |
| koshari | JuzzyD while i agree with you with regard to linux in the home, in enterprise you need linux and windows | 11:27 |
| Fuse | JuzzyD: hmm i'll check what I use | 11:27 |
| Fuse | either way it's a small driver issue likely | 11:27 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, i have set my multimedia system selector to alsa...and i use aoss on progs that seem to hog the soundserver.. | 11:27 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | when is google releasing their operating system? | 11:28 |
| ghaleb__ | hello, how can I get rlm_eap_tls.so module to run freeradius server ? | 11:28 |
| Fuse | I use Alsa | 11:28 |
| Andrew_von_T | hi there | 11:28 |
| airtonix | nevagonnagiveuup, they have android for mobile phones/pds ... are you thinking of this? | 11:28 |
| JuzzyD | I will swap it over to Alsa and see how I go. | 11:28 |
| Fuse | let me know | 11:29 |
| vampur | panel already runing | 11:29 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as _sNapper | ||
| airtonix | JuzzyD, for the record i havent removed pulse audio | 11:29 |
| vampur | but couldn't find it | 11:29 |
| Fuse | vampur: um, you're having panel problems? and you've tried restarting? | 11:29 |
| Andrew_von_T | When I start my PC, when GDM is loaded, my mouse turns of if I don't move it during loading. Is there any way to fix it? | 11:29 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, i merely used 'multimedia system selector' to use alsa instead. | 11:29 |
| JuzzyD | But that is an example of why we're still not quite over the line on getting point and click users into Open Source. | 11:29 |
| maozhang | does anyone know how to get ejabbred working? | 11:29 |
| Fuse | JuzzyD: I disagree | 11:29 |
| Andrew_von_T | I use evdev driver | 11:29 |
| vampur | yes dear fuse many times i did this too | 11:29 |
| Fuse | you ever tried installing XP or Vista/ | 11:30 |
| JuzzyD | But thats no excuse for them to ignore my beliefs and send me files in proprietary formats :P | 11:30 |
| _tins_ | hi | 11:30 |
| Fuse | you install XP fresh on a computer and you're missing half the drivers | 11:30 |
| Fuse | it's really not user friendly | 11:30 |
| Fuse | nobody notices thought because OEMs fix it | 11:30 |
| airtonix | Fuse, JuzzyD most problems you see with ubuntu now are problems windows has as well...but your not seeing them in windows since 1) most hardware is designed for windows 2) the boxes are installed & ironed out before you purchase the box.... | 11:30 |
| duckamuk | how long have the forums been down? | 11:30 |
| Fuse | but nothing stops linux being the same | 11:30 |
| Fuse | airtonix: exactly what I am saying | 11:31 |
| NorthByNorthWest | Hi! Im having a weird problem, Im trying to start a program that I know exist but when I try to execute it the CLI prompt says "unable to execute /usr/bin/4L-gui: No such file or directory" | 11:31 |
| JuzzyD | airtonix, I've never bought a machine with Windows installed on it | 11:31 |
| airtonix | JuzzyD, neither have i... | 11:31 |
| JuzzyD | I hope Im not being misunderstood as unhappy with the product here. I don't want to come across like that. | 11:32 |
| Fuse | vampur: um I'm an ubuntu newb, but... last time I had problems with the desktop that I couldn't fix, I uninstalled GDM and KDE and reinstalled GDM | 11:32 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | far out, I just installed an old version of VMWAre | 11:32 |
| JuzzyD | I'm just saying that in my experiences, I wouldn't recommend to Joe Bloggs with limited computer knowledge, to have a crack at removing his windows and installing linux. | 11:32 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | they need a linux doorknocking appeal | 11:32 |
| Fuse | haha fair enough. but I also wouldn't recommend him installing windows on a fresh PC | 11:32 |
| Fuse | you see my point? | 11:33 |
| vampur | could u elaborate how to do this as em a newbie too | 11:33 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | "excuse me, would you mind if I helped you install linux on your PC?" | 11:33 |
| JuzzyD | Getting it released as OEM such as the Asus EEE is the best way to get market share, because as mentioned, OEM smoothes out the issues that arise from custom hardware. | 11:33 |
| mandh | hello i have Ubuntu 7.04 and the system freez suddenly i dont know but i doubt in kernel | 11:33 |
| Fuse | vampur: ok, well when you log in, instead of loading gnome, load up a console session | 11:33 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | EEEpc didn't release the source for a while | 11:33 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | s/EEEpc/ASUS | 11:33 |
| Fuse | then type the command to uninstall gnome or KDE (whatever you use) | 11:33 |
| vampur | okh | 11:33 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | breached the GPL | 11:34 |
| Fuse | then restart, and install GDM again | 11:34 |
| vampur | and then how to re-install it | 11:34 |
| Fuse | hmm let me check | 11:34 |
| Fuse | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 11:34 |
| Fuse | I think. somebody confirm? | 11:34 |
| mandh | i have Ubuntu 7.04 and the system freeze can i upgrade the system with the same installing asterisk on it ? | 11:36 |
| vampur | but dear that time i wont be able to have the internet | 11:36 |
| Saty-n | hello, Anybody has scripts for virtualbox host networking on hardy ? | 11:36 |
| Fuse | sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 11:36 |
| Fuse | sudo apt-get autoremove | 11:36 |
| Fuse | should do it | 11:36 |
| Fuse | for removing gnome | 11:36 |
| Fuse | no Internet? | 11:37 |
| Andrew_von_T | I've got my mouse off each time I start my ubuntu without moving it. Can anyone help please? | 11:37 |
| JuzzyD | Whoa, either I need to get some sleep, or the rows are slightly crooked in Nautilus suddenly | 11:37 |
| Fuse | removing gnome shouldn't remove your internet access.... | 11:37 |
| Fuse | ciao JuzzyD | 11:37 |
| DuKeS | airtonix: hmm...turns out transmission IS easy as pie to use lol very simple interface with all the information i need at a glance...thanx :) | 11:40 |
| fat | herrow | 11:40 |
| airtonix | DuKeS, imo its a direct clone of utorrent....other than transmission i would be using rtorrent under certain circumstances | 11:40 |
| rajec | why because of graphics effects turn some confirm dialogs windows goes blank in NetBeans? | 11:41 |
| DuKeS | airtonix: well what i liked most was the fact that it integrated into the OS right away meaning i click a torrent link and it's my default .torrent handler + it configured the port itself and i was getting very nice DL speed | 11:42 |
| JuzzyD | Wow, James May is an awesome presenter. | 11:42 |
| lfs-livecd | Does anyone know how long Ubuntu Forums have been down? | 11:43 |
| === miranda is now known as Guest42642 | ||
| DuKeS | lfs-livecd: i've been in the chat for a while and people have been reporting the forums down for quiet a while | 11:43 |

| === Dreaman is now known as motorizer | ||

| vampur | dear fuse how to install gnome again | 11:45 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| vampur | by live cd | 11:45 |
| init08 | what's the best way to detect packet sniffer in your network? | 11:46 |
| Fuse | why do you need a live cd? bandwidth costly? | 11:46 |
| Fuse | I forget how to install by live CD from console | 11:46 |
| airtonix | DuKeS, one thing i like about rtorrent that i cant get transmission to do is resume downloads on torrent files that i have moved since they began....transmission chooses to restart rather than continue from data found at the chosen storage location. rtorrent would see data already there and begin hashing it for errors... | 11:46 |
| vampur | and that system dosn't have the internet dear | 11:47 |
| airtonix | DuKeS, but rTorrent is ncurses and transmission is gtk...so two different target demographics | 11:47 |
| vampur | is there any way out to install the gnome from live cd or offline | 11:47 |
| Fuse | yes, but I forget how. Try a google search | 11:47 |
| Fuse | I believe it involves making your live cd part of the apt-get respository sources | 11:48 |
| Fuse | which isn't too difficult | 11:48 |
| whileimhere | Hi here is a tough one for everyone even though its only 6am. I have about 6,000 files all in uppercase. I need to convert them to lowercase for example the file JIM.ZIP needs to be renamed to jim.zip but as I have said I have 6,000 of these files. Can anyone tell me a simple automated way to do this task? | 11:49 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, using catfish | 11:49 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | shell scrip | 11:49 |
| Fuse | whileimhere: python | 11:49 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | script* | 11:49 |
| whileimhere | Ahh you mean programming | 11:49 |
| Fuse | not really | 11:49 |
| Fuse | it's like 2 lines | 11:49 |
| whileimhere | I was hoping there is a simple way. | 11:49 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, using catfish | 11:50 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, sudo apt-get install catfish | 11:50 |
| whileimhere | got catfish | 11:50 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, or rather...purr sorry | 11:50 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, sudo apt-get install purr | 11:50 |
| Fuse | i'd just use a list comprehension which maps the lower case function to every file-name. but yeah, you need to know a tad of Python. it's worth learning for this sort of stuff. | 11:51 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, correction : sudo apt-get install purrr | 11:51 |
| Guest77119 | I've just installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive (again) and it manages to boot into grub and give a (correct) listing of all bootable partitions on the system, however I cannot boot the new install. I get an unable to mount file system error | 11:51 |
| grzes | anyone tried to run winbox on ubuntu??? | 11:51 |
| grzes | and why it freezes.. | 11:51 |
| whileimhere | airtonix couldnt find purr | 11:51 |

| vampur | of ubutnu | 11:52 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, because i left out the third 'r'... purrr | 11:52 |
| whileimhere | ahhh | 11:52 |
| whileimhere | okay have it | 11:52 |
| SiDi | vampur, kubuntu or ubuntu livecd? | 11:53 |
| vampur | !gnome | 11:53 |
| ubottu | gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. | 11:53 |
| vampur | ubuntu live cd | 11:53 |
| vampur | !insall gnome | 11:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about insall gnome | 11:53 |
| Fuse | vampur: I think it is apt-cdrom | 11:53 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, bash script here that does it too : http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/scripts/up2low | 11:53 |
| SiDi | and you want gnome only, on another distro, or ubuntu + gnome? :P | 11:53 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, up2low : script to convert upercase filename to lowercase in current working dir | 11:54 |
| vampur | what i need is default linux seeting as i lost my gnome now | 11:54 |
| vampur | without re-installing linux | 11:54 |
| whileimhere | airtonix is it a recursive script? | 11:54 |
| Fuse | http://mirror.atrpms.net/ccrma/man/man8/apt-cdrom.8.html | 11:54 |
| SiDi | and what about getting the meta packets from repository vampur ? | 11:54 |
| SiDi | i think its desktop-gnome, etc | 11:54 |
| Fuse | SiDi: it is 'ubuntu-desktop' | 11:55 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, no | 11:55 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | can I get away with installing ubuntu on VMWARE with only 8 GB of space? | 11:55 |
| howlingmadhowi1 | whileimhere: no, you'll have to embed it in a 'find' | 11:55 |
| opt1k | when are ubuntuforums.org going back up? | 11:55 |
| asho79 | vampur: have you lost gnome or just enabled enlightenment etc? | 11:55 |
| Fuse | but I believe he doesn't want to use bandwidth on apt-get | 11:55 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, you could use the find command and pipe it to a sed action maybe | 11:55 |
| SiDi | nevagonnagiveuup, i guess its doable but you wont have much space left :D | 11:56 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, $ echo "TesT" | sed 'y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/' | 11:56 |
| Fuse | nevagonnagiveuup: I'd say so. 2 gig for ubuntu, 2 gig for storage, 2 gig for page file... it'd work surely? | 11:56 |
| vampur | dear i lost my gnome and is there any way to re-install it | 11:56 |
| duckamuk | nevagonnagiveup 8GB is fine, i do it all the time | 11:57 |
| asho79 | vampur: did you enable enlightenment? | 11:57 |
| airtonix | whileimhere, example of how to use sed to convert lower case to uppercase....for the reverse just swap the upper case letter with the lowercase letters in the sed portion : $echo "TesT" | sed 'y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/' | 11:57 |
| Moofius | Is there any good guide for the security aspects of setting up a ubuntu webserver, I got a vps with only a root user, logging in via ssh. Would like that the guide explains how to set up a non-root user, get that user to be able to sudo, changing ssh-port, and all that stuff | 11:57 |
| vampur | how to do this dear asho | 11:57 |
| neeto | I need a file called libstdc++.so.5, but I cannot find it in the standard libstdc++ packages from the repository... does anyone know of a package this comes in? | 11:57 |
| airtonix | neeto, try using getlib on the file. | 11:57 |
| Moofius | I have seen this kind of guide before, but my google-vodoo is not so strong | 11:58 |

| === Lyk4n8rwp0S is now known as kalakouentin | ||
| asho79 | vampur: what you could try is logging in to your system again and click on ¨options¨ (in the login page) and make sure gnome is selected | 11:59 |
| neeto | airtonix: how do I use getlib? | 11:59 |
| vampur | please pardon me | 11:59 |
| vampur | dear asho79 | 11:59 |
| asho79 | vampur: ahh, ok, so you don´t have it | 12:00 |
| SiDi | vampur i found a link from ubuntu forums where they speak about that but it's down ;P | 12:00 |
| airtonix | neeto, install it with : sudo apt-get install getlibs | 12:00 |
| neeto | ah plural | 12:00 |
| Tumie | why are the ubuntu forums offline ?? | 12:00 |
| neeto | makes all the difference | 12:00 |
| SiDi | I think they're moving the servers Tumie | 12:00 |
| SiDi | Not sure though. French ones were down tonight too | 12:00 |
| Tumie | oke, thanks SiDi :) | 12:00 |
| airtonix | neeto, then use it against your file in question.... : locate libstdc++.so.5 | 12:00 |
| Fuse | SiDi: use google cache | 12:01 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | Can linux really beat a 90% market share in windows? | 12:01 |
| neeto | airtonix: I don't have the file, I need to get the file. | 12:01 |
| Tumie | are here Urban Terror players ?? | 12:01 |
| airtonix | neeto, once you have the path to libstdc++.so.5 ...its getlib /path/to/your/file | 12:01 |
| Fuse | nevagonnagiveuup: can FireFox beat a 95% market share in IE? | 12:01 |
| asho79 | vampur: and you don´t want to use the net? | 12:01 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | probably not | 12:01 |
| airtonix | neeto, what are you trying to run that requires that lib? | 12:01 |
| Fuse | I guess that explains why it is at about 30% | 12:01 |
| neeto | airtonix: N64 emulator | 12:01 |
| airtonix | neeto, for example if it was vlc....you would do : getlib /usr/bin/vlc | 12:01 |
| vampur | bascially net is not avliable on that system | 12:01 |
| anders__ | I am looking for a solution to sync all my config files in my user's home folder between several machines, any recommendations? | 12:02 |
| neeto | airtonix: what repo are you getting getlibs from, I am not seeing anything from my repos | 12:02 |
| Fuse | actually Firefox is at 50% market share over here in Aus | 12:02 |

| whileimhere | Hey airtonix would you look at this script and tell me what you think? http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/convert-filenames-lowercase | 12:08 |
| Fuse | well yeah. the reason I ended up switching fully to my ubuntu boot was that Windows caught a stupid effing spyware virus through Firefox | 12:08 |
| Fuse | if Firefox can't even stop it, then there's no hope | 12:08 |
| HappyHater | Adam434, gjc | 12:08 |
| neeto | airtonix: unfortunately getlibs says that all dependencies for the application are met, which, first of all is false, and still leaves me the trouble of getting libstdc++.so.5 | 12:08 |
| asho79 | firefox is mainstream now, when it was new it was safe | 12:08 |
| Fuse | asho: it's still 100 times safer than IE | 12:08 |
| HappyHater | gcj even | 12:08 |
| airtonix | neeto, have you tried searching packages.ubuntu.com for the file? | 12:09 |
| asho79 | ;-) | 12:09 |
| Fuse | I mean that was the first time in 4 years I'd caught spyware through FF | 12:09 |
| neeto | airtonix: not yet, hold on | 12:09 |
| airtonix | neeto, its a shame the forums are down as i know there are some good threads there about this file | 12:09 |
| asho79 | any spyware for linux that you know of? | 12:09 |
| asho79 | or was that with linux? | 12:10 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | I doubt 50% of people run FF in Australia | 12:10 |

| XtremAl_Raven | I've got problems with wifi since I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. I know that ones who installed 8.04 from scratch have no problems. I wonder if there is a way to set up Ubuntu over the existing copy so I could solve the problems but keep all the settings of my programs? | 12:12 |
| Fuse | PDFs are nice because they're immutable in a way | 12:12 |
| aurehman | I want to use gprs using my mobile phone via bluetooth...anybody help me plz | 12:12 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | they tend to hand out slides as PDF files at my Uni | 12:13 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | not as HTML | 12:13 |
| vampur | #sudo apt-cdrom add when i did this from live cd i am also then unable to install the gnome | 12:13 |
| vampur | is ther any easier way to install the gnome from the live cd without re-installing the linux | 12:13 |
| Fuse | dude just give up and reinstall from the live CD | 12:13 |
| Fuse | aha | 12:13 |
| Moofius | How to get backspace to work over ssh (sshing from a mac) :] | 12:13 |
| airtonix | vampur, next time you set up your system, put the root and your home on seperate partitions... | 12:13 |
| Fuse | I've been in a similar situation vampur and in the end it was easier to reinstall from the live CD | 12:14 |
| Fuse | (and yeah, put home on an external disk or different partition) | 12:14 |
| asho79 | Raven:do you have the driver installed? | 12:14 |
| asho79 | *do | 12:14 |
| aurehman | Fuse: i wan to use gprs using using my mobile phone... how can it possible | 12:14 |
| XtremAl_Raven | <asho79> I have lots of drivers installed since I tried to solve the problem. | 12:15 |
| asho79 | Raven: completely up-to date? | 12:15 |
| aurehman | Fuse: is it possible to use gprs on ubuntu via bluetooth connection? | 12:15 |
| Fuse | uh... probably? | 12:16 |
| XtremAl_Raven | <asho79> Also I began to have problems with keyboard layouts and not it appears that I can't use Skype (it doesn't see my sound card) | 12:16 |
| Fuse | sorry, I don't know | 12:16 |
| aurehman | ok | 12:16 |
| aurehman | is there anyone who can help me plz | 12:16 |
| asho79 | Raven: maybe you had some spiderwebs from 7.04 | 12:16 |
| XtremAl_Raven | <aurehman> Sure it is possible. I do this all the time. | 12:16 |
| Fuse | aurehman: google it? | 12:16 |
| XtremAl_Raven | <aurehman> I use scripts but sure that you can use Gnome PPP for this. | 12:17 |
| Fuse | here you go aurehman: http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:ALXPsk8trmoJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D111455+use+gprs+on+ubuntu+via+bluetooth+connection&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=au&client=firefox-a | 12:17 |
| aurehman | XtremAl_Raven: how it is possible | 12:17 |
| Fuse | always remember the power of Google ;) | 12:18 |
| x2o | hi ist there a way to change windowfocus with a game like openarena? to change volume or something and then go back to openarena and quake? | 12:18 |
| airtonix | googleFu...like kungfu but not. | 12:18 |
| klunka | What has happened to Ubuntu Forums???how long are they down?? | 12:18 |
| x2o | like windows with the taskmanager and strg+alt+entf | 12:18 |
| Seveas | kungoogle-fu. Searching the internet with bare hands :) | 12:18 |
| dual | My gnome hangs after login. I see the beige background, and can move the mouse, but nothing comes up. Sometimes, my panel comes too, but then it stops again. | 12:19 |
| aurehman | Fuse: i searched it on google but every link told me to download packages... and i m unable to download on ubuntu | 12:19 |
| XtremAl_Raven | <aurehman> Just google "linux gprs" or something like that. I set it up long ago. Now I just use two commands: "pon gprs" and "poff", - to enable and disable gprs. But, as I said, I'm sure you can use Gnome PPP if you try. | 12:19 |
| Fuse | that's a problem. | 12:19 |
| asho79 | dual: do you have much ram? | 12:19 |
| dual | I think it began after installing Nvidia drivers with 32-bit libaries | 12:19 |
| dual | asho79 8Gb | 12:19 |
| asho79 | hehe, shouldn´t be the prob | 12:19 |
| airtonix | aurehman, there is a page on wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com that list mobile phones that will work with networkmanager....but i cant find it right now | 12:19 |
| dual | So its 64bit ubuntu | 12:19 |
| Fuse | hydraIRC on an ubuntu channel? haha | 12:20 |
| vampur | so still not found how to getback that gnome back | 12:20 |
| Adam434 | HappyHater: thansk | 12:20 |
| Adam434 | HappyHater: thanks | 12:20 |
| die2 | hallo | 12:20 |
| HappyHater | no prob | 12:20 |
| aurehman | airtonix: thanx i'll again search it on google | 12:20 |
| Seveas | aurehman, (this won't help you but starting with ubuntu 8.10, internet via mobile phones is much better supported) | 12:20 |
| dual | I had to log into KDE to even get to the GUI | 12:20 |
| Fuse | vampur: try and find somebody in your local area who knows linux to help you if it's really so important you can't just reformat | 12:21 |
| airtonix | aurehman, you might want to use anothe keyword here : utms device | 12:21 |
| ghaleb__ | hello, how can I get rlm_eap_tls.so module to run freeradius server ? | 12:21 |
| marius | hi, i have problems with my wlan, i find it but cant connect, the wired lan works! | 12:21 |
| die2 | sorry for interrupting you. but is there anyone who have tried installing Ubuntu MID on normal notebook? | 12:22 |
| Fuse | MID? | 12:22 |
| die2 | yes | 12:22 |
| Le0nhe4rt | help | 12:22 |
| die2 | like EEE PC | 12:22 |
| Fuse | I believe EEE comes with instructions for installing ubuntu | 12:22 |
| dual | I think it happened right after I opened nautilus, and after installing the Nvidia driver with 32bit libraries on 64bit ubuntu | 12:22 |
| Fuse | if not plenty of people have done it - check google | 12:22 |
| airtonix | Fuse, fyi : http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile | 12:22 |
| Fuse | cheers | 12:23 |
| maozhang | anyone ever setup ejabberd before? | 12:23 |
| Batty4 | Hey everyone. | 12:23 |
| Moofius | "sudo aptitude -y install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev" give me "Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.0 mysql-server" How come? | 12:23 |
| die2 | hem .. | 12:23 |
| Seveas | maozhang, yes | 12:23 |
| Seveas | Moofius, pastebin the entire output of that command | 12:24 |
| die2 | I'm just think if the ubuntu Mid Edition can easily run on every notebook | 12:24 |
| Fuse | how do I change my refresh rate? | 12:24 |
| Seveas | Fuse, blink faster :) | 12:24 |
| airtonix | lol | 12:24 |
| die2 | :) | 12:24 |
| airtonix | or hum | 12:24 |
| Fuse | I think that might actually INCREASE the risk of seisure... | 12:24 |
| Seveas | Fuse, heheheh :) | 12:24 |
| Fuse | low refresh rates cause headaches | 12:25 |
| Fuse | and ubuntu defaults to 60 | 12:25 |
| Dabbu | http://ubuntuforums.org/ is not opening ...any clue | 12:25 |
| aurehman | XtremAl_Raven: i found this on google.. will it help me? http://www.howtoforge.com/connecting-gprs-from-ubuntu-gutsy | 12:25 |
| Fuse | dabbu: use google cache where possible | 12:25 |
| Seveas | Fuse, only on tft screens where refreshrate is irrelevant for headaches | 12:25 |
| maozhang | seveas, im having troubles setting it up. It's installed and running, but how do i know what ports its listening on? | 12:25 |
| Fuse | tft? | 12:25 |
| Seveas | Fuse, flatscreen | 12:25 |
| airtonix | Fuse, using my nvidia 8800gt i use the nvidia-xsettings gui to change the fresehrate...although i cant always choose alues above 60hz for all resolution settings | 12:25 |
| Fuse | no, it's 60 on my CRT? | 12:25 |
| Moofius | Seveas: http://pastie.org/276639 is the output | 12:26 |
| die2 | ok fuse and all, thank for the info | 12:26 |
| Fuse | gl | 12:26 |
| Seveas | maozhang, 5222 for clients, 5223 on clients with old protocols and 5269 for server-to-server | 12:26 |
| maozhang | what exactly is a server-to-server connection? | 12:26 |
| Fuse | it's 60hz for me and no other options exist | 12:26 |
| Seveas | maozhang, and some internal ports, look at sudo netstat -ltnp, the process is 'beam' | 12:26 |
| maozhang | i understand clients to server, where i download a client and connect to a server, but i dont understand what server-to-server is, why would a server connect to another server? | 12:26 |
| Seveas | maozhang, s2s is for communicating with people on other servers | 12:26 |
| Fuse | I remember in edgy I pretended I was another monitor, but can't see how to do that in Hardy | 12:26 |
| === berry_ is now known as berry_nl | ||
| airtonix | maozhang, server-to-server is the strength of jabber which absolutely none has made good use of... | 12:27 |
| die2 | btw, what happen to http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ ? | 12:27 |
| Fuse | die2: moving, apparently | 12:27 |
| Seveas | maozhang, so you@yourjabberserver.com can talk to someone@gmail.com for instance | 12:27 |
| die2 | ach .. | 12:27 |
| maozhang | oh nice | 12:27 |
| die2 | it is permanent? | 12:27 |
| tenX | Fuse: you pretended to be a monitor?? | 12:27 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | DDos attack? | 12:27 |
| Fuse | tenX: damn straight | 12:27 |
| Fuse | it was liberating | 12:27 |
| Seveas | Moofius, looks like apparmor on your machine is broken | 12:27 |
| airtonix | maozhang, ie google make use of jabber...jabber.org.au uses jabber but none of them use the s2s feature to provide disaster redundancy features | 12:27 |
| Moofius | Seveas: How to fix it then :P | 12:28 |
| Seveas | Moofius, are you running a custom kernel? | 12:28 |
| Dabbu | can i use empathy for voic chat | 12:28 |
| Moofius | No idea | 12:28 |
| maozhang | seveas, thats actually what i want to do... right now i have google talk on my blackberry which talks to people on the aim network. I think gtalk communicates with a jabber server, which uses PyAIMt | 12:28 |
| tenX | Fuse: are you good on that? | 12:28 |
| maozhang | seveas, but the jabber server that my googletalk communicates with goes down quite a lot, so i want to start my own | 12:28 |
| airtonix | maozhang, server-to-server is jabber to jabber server comms only | 12:28 |
| Seveas | maozhang, no it doesn't :) google talk *is* jabber | 12:28 |
| maozhang | ah | 12:29 |
| Fuse | I think I'll pass. I'm not The Todd. | 12:29 |
| * nevagonnagiveuup <3's ubuntu | 12:29 | |
| airtonix | maozhang, and for s2s to work the other server needs to be accepting s2s input....which i dont think googletalk does | 12:29 |
| Seveas | Moofius, pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a && uname -a | 12:29 |
| smokewon | Hey there, im trying to setup a home server, but im using a cross over cable as the connection between my windows xp machine and my ubuntu server machine, is this possible to do with samba? | 12:29 |
| maozhang | so i guess i used another program to add an AIM transport to my google talk list, which gave me access to all my buddies on my AIM list | 12:29 |
| Seveas | airtonix, google does :) | 12:29 |
| maozhang | seveas, because i know you cant add aim users directly to googletalk | 12:30 |
| airtonix | Seveas, so my roster created at jabber.org.au propgates to my gmail account? | 12:30 |
| Moofius | Seveas: "No LSB modules are available.Distributor ID:UbuntuDescription:Ubuntu 8.04.1Release:8.04Codename:hardyLinux GleSYS-vps 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.028stab053.4PAE #1 SMP Fri Jan 18 13:10:53 MSK 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" | 12:30 |
| Seveas | airtonix, no. roster is stored on jabber.org.au | 12:30 |
| Seveas | Moofius, yes, that's a very nonstandard kernel. | 12:30 |
| airtonix | Seveas, aye ok i got it wrong...but really why cant i just log into jabber.org.au and talk to the people on my gmail roster? | 12:31 |
| Seveas | Moofius, looks like you're running a redhat kernel on ubuntu, wtf?! :) | 12:31 |
| airtonix | Seveas, without having to login to gmail | 12:31 |
| verynewveryconfu | hi all. i have problem with Transmission in 8.04. It cannot connect to any peers. However, it can connect to peers in 8.10Alpha | 12:31 |
| Seveas | airtonix, roster is linked to account, s2s is so foo@jabber.com can talk to foo@gmail.com | 12:31 |
| Le0nhe4rt | log in | 12:31 |
| Fuse | verynewveryconfu: wait half a month for 8.10 stable? ;) | 12:31 |
| Seveas | foo@jabber.com talks to jabber.com, jabber.com talks to gmail.com and gmail.com talks to foo@gmail.com | 12:31 |
| Seveas | c2s - s2s - c2s | 12:32 |
| airtonix | Seveas, yeah but if i log in at foo@jabber with pidgn and dont have foo@gmail on my buddy list...how do i talk to foo@gmail? | 12:32 |
| Seveas | airtonix, add it to your roster on foo@jabber :) | 12:32 |
| smokewon | anyone? | 12:32 |
| verynewveryconfu | Fuse, in the meantime if i want to use bittorrent without setting port forwarding. how to do that? | 12:32 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | how do I get sound working in VMWARE for ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| Fuse | there's another bit torrent client or two. might be worth trying | 12:33 |
| airtonix | Seveas, must have changed since last time i tried it becuase i couldnt get those results | 12:33 |
| Seveas | smokewon, samba doesn't care which network connection you have, as long as you have a working one :) | 12:33 |
| maozhang | seveas, so the question now is im not quite sure how to setup PyAIMt to work with googletalk. The instructions are here: http://www.ejabberd.im/pyaimt , but im not sure how to perform some of the steps | 12:33 |
| jason_ | hi everyone | 12:33 |
| smokewon | ah ok thats good then | 12:33 |
| Seveas | airtonix, in the beginning google talk had no s2s, but that was years ago | 12:33 |
| airtonix | Seveas, must be why....back in dapper days. | 12:33 |
| maozhang | seveas, i meant to setup PyAIMt with ejabberd | 12:33 |
| Seveas | maozhang, I must say neither am I, ejabberd isn't the easiest beast. I switched to openfire instead | 12:34 |
| jason_ | anybody home? | 12:34 |
| smokewon | i noticed the forums are down, is this only temporary i hope? | 12:34 |
| verynewveryconfu | fuse: dilunge has the same problem. it cannot open post automatically. | 12:34 |
| Moofius | Seveas: A strange thing tho, I'm on a vps, and this is the only ubuntu-install they have available, and it don't support mysql, what kind of vps is that? :P | 12:34 |
| Seveas | smokewon, we hope so too :) | 12:34 |
| airtonix | Seveas, i was trying to sell some newb on jabber over msn....the s2s feature was the strong point....since i am under the assumption that msn is but only one server with no load spreading like jabber | 12:34 |
| Seveas | Moofius, a quite crappy one :) | 12:34 |
| Fuse | I don't know, sorry. I had enough hassle forwarding ports to get WWP multiplayer to work | 12:35 |
| gukina | Hey guys | 12:35 |
| Seveas | airtonix, well, it's a fairly large cluster of servers but all controlled by microsoft | 12:35 |
| gukina | Whys the forums always down? | 12:35 |
| Fuse | transmission works off the bat for me | 12:35 |
| smokewon | Seveas, so bascially i have my windows machine with a usb dongle device that connects to my wireless router, and a lan card wich is connected to my ubuntu server machine via cross over cable, how do i configure the subnet and what not? | 12:35 |
| Fuse | gukina: they're moving hosts, so likely ubuntu has become to popular and they need more bandwidth. now they've moved one would expect the problems to abate | 12:35 |
| verynewveryconfu | Fuse: thanks anyway. | 12:36 |
| Fuse | verynewveryconfu: might be worth trying one more: Azureus | 12:37 |
| smokewon | the eth0 device on my ubuntu server machine still cant connect to anything :S | 12:37 |
| airtonix | yay vlc just closed itself whislt watching a dvd.... | 12:37 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | how do I get sound working in VMWare? | 12:37 |
| smokewon | i just installed smb via synaptic too, after i went to System->shared folders-> install necessary services :S | 12:37 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | hey airtonix - DeCSS is illegal! | 12:37 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | no DVDs for linux | 12:37 |
| airtonix | lol | 12:37 |
| Fuse | lol | 12:38 |
| gukina | I see, fuse | 12:38 |
| verynewveryconfu | Fuse: I will give it a try. | 12:38 |
| airtonix | ink pens in voting booths is heretical | 12:38 |
| Fuse | pardon me if I ignore those stupid greedy patents | 12:38 |
| airtonix | jeresy* | 12:38 |
| airtonix | heresy*.... | 12:38 |
| smokewon | ugh.. need.. ubuntu ... forums... stuck with cross over cable problem | 12:38 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | when does the DVD patent expire? | 12:38 |
| gukina | Anyone know of any video editing, that allows "cropping" | 12:39 |
| Fuse | what's heresy is integrated circuits in voting booths | 12:39 |
| Fuse | nevagonnagiveuup: if ACTA passes, never | 12:39 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | what the | 12:39 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | I never heard of that | 12:39 |
| Fuse | you probably don't know about ACTA since it's a secret government bill to give more power to copyright | 12:39 |
| maozhang | seveas, i would switch to openfire, but openfire doesn't work with pyaimt | 12:40 |

| asho79 | hi | 12:40 |
| maozhang | seveas, for me to be able to use googletalk with aim, i must use pyaimt | 12:40 |
| Fuse | It's pretty disgusting | 12:40 |
| maozhang | seveas, unless you know of another way | 12:40 |
| gukina | is pyamt better than pidgin? | 12:41 |
| abuyazan | i have problem in time adjust, we are +2 GMT but every time i restart the laptop it come back to +3 GMT | 12:41 |
| gukina | pidgin pretty much dominate's the messenger scene | 12:41 |
| abuyazan | i changed the time zone but the same problem | 12:41 |
| Fuse | I use Pidgin. | 12:41 |
| abuyazan | how can i fix it \ | 12:41 |
| Harold_parker | fuse, how did you compile pigin for ubuntu? | 12:42 |
| smokewon | grrr, why is this cross over cable connection not working... | 12:42 |

| Harold_parker | let me try again | 12:44 |
| Fuse | if you're using KDE, you can try Kopete | 12:44 |

| jrib | huitang: isn't scratchbox in the ubuntu repositories? | 12:54 |
| znik | how can i upgrade my kernel? | 12:54 |
| huitang | it isn't | 12:55 |
| jrib | znik: update-manager will automatically give you upgrades if you have the proper packages installed | 12:55 |
| jrib | !info scratchbox2 | huitang | 12:55 |
| ubottu | huitang: scratchbox2 (source: scratchbox2): Transparent cross compiling environment. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.99.0.19 (hardy), package size 119 kB, installed size 428 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64) | 12:55 |

| asho79 | for intrepid | 12:56 |
| znik | jrib cant i force it to upgrade the kernel only?its important that i upgrade. | 12:56 |
| jamus_ | znik: but consider some stuff might not work (i have messed up sound and video card after kernel update | 12:56 |
| jrib | znik: yeah, select only the kernel in update-manager | 12:57 |
| asho79 | znik: it would be better to do a fresh install though | 12:57 |
| asho79 | so you want to keep files? | 12:57 |
| jrib | asho79: why are you recommending that znik upgrades to an unstable release? | 12:57 |
| huitang | i download xx.deb from scratchbox , and how i can install .deb package under /scratchbox dirctory? | 12:57 |

| quentin_ | does anyone know how to boot partitions outside of an extended partition from within an extended partiton? | 12:58 |

| asho79 | jrib: I agree | 12:59 |
| znik | asho79 from what i have read till now i think its better i dont upgrade mmy kernel. i dont want to mess up! plus there is upgrade available in update manager! | 12:59 |

| asho79 | will be good if it is true | 13:07 |
| deepfriedsquirre | GParted destroyed a year's worth of my data, so I'm attempting to get it back. It seems to be displaying a full new partition, despite the fact the original one had plenty of space. I moved it to the left so the data now kind of overlaps with where the old stuff began. For some bizarre reason, it seemed to insist on mounting the partitions it was working on, which had been recovered by testdisk the same day >< | 13:07 |

| jrib | _sNappEr: ubuntu gamer's edition isn't supported here. It's a custom distribution. Look for support on their forums/irc channel | 13:08 |
| deepfriedsquirre | benjick: The weird thing is that it looks full on Gparted, but when I mount it, nothing seems to be there | 13:08 |
| _sNappEr | jrib:ok | 13:08 |
| _sNappEr | jrib: thanx | 13:08 |
| jamus_ | deepfriedsquirre: dude -- first relax ,, i suggest u log on windows and use getdataback to recover disk | 13:08 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I havn't got Windows | 13:09 |
| asho79 | jamus: update manager or update notifier | 13:09 |
| deepfriedsquirre | :-( | 13:09 |
| asho79 | only notifier is going | 13:09 |
| Almindor | haha that was something linux fanboys didn't expect :) | 13:09 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Can you do a pendrive install of Windows? | 13:09 |
| benjick | deepfriedsquirre: Check out Bart PE | 13:09 |
| Silke666 | Hey, everyone, are gtk themes and similar GUI stuff already choosed for final intrepid? | 13:09 |
| jamus_ | asho79: notifier (pacage manager) | 13:10 |
| deepfriedsquirre | benjick: Cool. But first I'd need to go and buy a copy of it. Is this windows utility the only thing that would do the job? | 13:10 |
| jamus_ | Almindor: explain | 13:10 |
| Dabbu | i have installed empathybut i am not able to add yahoo account | 13:11 |
| asho79 | jamus: ahh, it´s cool. I´ll just manually do it when it needs doing. Notifier works, tells me when there´s stuff to get | 13:11 |
| Almindor | jamus, well it's a bit ironic that a linux guy tells someone else to go to windows to fix a problem and gets a "I don't have a windows" reply :D | 13:11 |
| Almindor | jamus, just strikes me as damn funny | 13:11 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Heh, I guess | 13:12 |
| Fuse | what strikes ME as funny is Micro$oft not selling their best OS anymore. | 13:12 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Could I emulate this thing in Wine? | 13:12 |
| Kondensuotas_pie | labadiena | 13:12 |
| jrib | Fuse: didn't I ask you to stop that before? | 13:12 |

| yao_ziyuan | here's my problem: | 13:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | i want to upgrade from hardy to intrepid alpha 6 | 13:12 |
| Almindor | deepfriedsquirre, so, let me get things right: you/gparted ruined your partition table (you didn't format it I hope) and want to get it back? | 13:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | "update-manager -d" is too slow | 13:13 |
| jrib | Fuse: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support stuff | 13:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | i already have downloaded an alternate installer iso | 13:13 |
| jrib | yao_ziyuan: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid | 13:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | here is my plan: | 13:13 |
| jamus_ | Almindor: from what ive seen there is no way (becouse im an ignorant fool) that i will relay solely on ubu as much as i love it | 13:13 |
| airtonix | yao_ziyuan, upgrades are always substandard methods of getting new version of your distro....on *any* OS | 13:13 |
| Fuse | um, ok I'm there. I was just commenting on a similar remark. Chill :S | 13:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | download hd-installer files for gru | 13:13 |
| Almindor | jamus_, I'm not judging you | 13:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | for grub | 13:13 |
| jrib | yao_ziyuan: stop. Read what I just told you. And try to keep your question on ONE line in #ubuntu+1 | 13:14 |
| Almindor | jamus_, got a perfect xp install here as well (mostly for games and commercial work when needed) | 13:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | then, boot to the hd-installer, choose the iso file | 13:14 |
| jamus_ | Almindor: its coo lman | 13:14 |
| asho79 | jamus: I use windows at work but they´d save a heap of money on linux | 13:14 |
| asho79 | :) | 13:14 |
| Almindor | yeah heh I sometimes want to kick some people for using windblows on schools and small companies with "office and browser" usage | 13:14 |
| jamus_ | deepfriedsquirre: listen as long as u dont format ur stuff is there | 13:15 |
| jrib | Almindor: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussions | 13:15 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Almindor: I ruined my partition table by installing PC-BSD. I then ran checkdisk to get a couple of partitions back, one of which I ruined by using GParted. | 13:15 |
| jrib | !recover > deepfriedsquirre | 13:15 |

| smokewon | Hey there, has anyone managed to setup a connection between a ubuntu machine and a windows xp machine via crossover cable?? | 13:16 |
| Almindor | deepfriedsquirre, well, if you didn't format, you just need to recreate the partition table more or less | 13:16 |
| jamus_ | mikemorr: bottup manager maybe | 13:17 |
| jamus_ | mikemorr: bootup manager i mean | 13:17 |

| magnetron | hi! how do i set firefox+flash to use pulseadio or alsa? | 13:25 |

| Fuse | magnetron: on gnome, go system -> preferences -> sound | 13:26 |
| jrib | mistform: "tired of safety" that's great. Using random repositories is one of the best ways to turn linux into windows with all of its malware problems. What exactly are you missing with your current setup? | 13:26 |

| jrib | dual: think you only need to purge nvidia-glx* and linux-restricted-modules*. Make sure you don't need the last one for anything else | 13:30 |
| dual | I haven't installed it from synaptic. | 13:30 |
| jrib | dual: how did you install it? | 13:30 |
| julian_ | anyone know how i can access my gdrive without having to run nautilus as root | 13:31 |
| dual | From the .run from nvidia.com, jrib | 13:31 |
| Fuse | magnetron: what do you need? | 13:31 |
| Fuse | I've heard using alsa works fine with firefox | 13:31 |
| Fuse | it does for me | 13:31 |
| jrib | dual: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/chapter-04-section-04.html look for "uninstall" | 13:31 |
| dual | jrib: The 32-bit opengl comp. stuff messed up my whole system. | 13:31 |
| Fuse | so maybe change pulse to alsa | 13:31 |
| magnetron | Fuse, i want to be able to control my flash sound streams in pavucontrol | 13:31 |
| SiDi | dual, for the next time : never never install a nvidia driver from something else than synaptic, or from peripheral drivers manager | 13:32 |
| SiDi | i installed the 173 from the nvidia site's .run and i ended up reinstalling ubuntu | 13:32 |
| dual | SiDi: Isn't the ones from Nvidia.com newer than the ones in Synaptic? | 13:32 |
| SiDi | newer doesnt mean better :) | 13:32 |
| SiDi | the one on repository is checked and meant to work fine | 13:33 |
| dual | SiDi, maybe you're right | 13:33 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | http://rafb.net/p/DOLj6j83.html I can't get sound working in VMWARE (this is the dmesg) Windows Host, Ubuntu guest | 13:33 |
| SiDi | my ubuntu was just not recognising my driver | 13:33 |
| dual | I'll try to uninstall them, and get the ones from Synaptic | 13:33 |
| SiDi | and if i let it activated my x server was crashing | 13:33 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | why isn't ubuntu recognizing VMWARE's sound card | 13:33 |
| Silke666 | nevagonnagiveuup, did you try to install VMWare Tools? | 13:34 |
| groundup | I need some help finding a driver for my laptop's sound card. Unfortunately, my searching ability is limited. See, I am in Kuwait and on a very limited bandwidth. It takes me hours to do most things and I am pretty surprised I am even able to get on here. The driver that kubuntu came with doesn't work. | 13:35 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | Silke666: I click it but nothing happens. | 13:35 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | I can't install vmware tools | 13:35 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | it's broken | 13:35 |
| SiDi | groundup, you need to find which card you're exactly using | 13:36 |
| SiDi | There might be special options to add to ALSA configuration for it to work | 13:36 |
| switch2000 | what is the easiest way to edit iptables besides command line? is there a file somewhere than can be directluy edited? | 13:36 |
| dr3mro | i am trying to compile alsa but it tells me it need kernel source of ubuntu 8.04 where i can get that | 13:36 |
| SiDi | groundup, what is your computer, and what is your sound card ? | 13:37 |
| jamus_ | nevagonnagiveuup: what error it says? | 13:37 |
| nevagonnagiveuup | well, I don't see the VMware tools mount on the desktop | 13:37 |
| groundup | SiDi: gateway, but I am trying to figure out what the sound card is | 13:38 |
| _sojourner | dr3mro its in the repos | 13:38 |
| dr3mro | what its name | 13:38 |
| dr3mro | ? | 13:38 |
| groundup | I have rarely ever used kubuntu. I am on it right now because Vista SP1 won't allow me to use Windows anymore. I have kubuntu for testing. | 13:38 |
| dr3mro | _sojourner, what its name? | 13:38 |
| SiDi | groundup, in console type : "lspci | grep -i audio" | 13:38 |
| velko | switch2000, if a GUI is an option for you try "firestarter". or you might explore some easy configuration rules driven framework like "shorewall" | 13:38 |

| DL | alright lol | 14:48 |
| thiebaude | dl:i just use the live cd | 14:48 |

| bn43 | hi I've been using thunderbird recently and a bit frustrated with withe the search functionaliyt | 15:08 |
| bn43 | I'd like to search my messages for expressions both in sender and body of message | 15:08 |
| g0g0r1n | amenado. it didnt help .... still the same .... rmmod ipv6 : ERROR: Module ipv6 is in use | 15:08 |
| chronographer | page - layout | 15:09 |
| amenado | g0g0r1n-> i didnt tell you to use rmmod, | 15:09 |
| gumpish | bn43, ok, you can do that via the find messages dialog in the edit menu | 15:09 |
| chronographer | askand: check open office help, its pretty good | 15:09 |
| bn43 | so if I have a message from 'sam' and contains the word 'sword' in subject or message I should put sam sword in search | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | g0g0r1n: "sudo modprobe -r ipv6" | 15:09 |
| gumpish | ah | 15:10 |
| bn43 | gumpish: I've done that | 15:10 |
| gumpish | i thought you meant ONE expression in both fields | 15:10 |
| g0g0r1n | amenado, the same error | 15:10 |
| gumpish | wait... yargh | 15:10 |
| bn43 | nope I have this functionality in apple's mail | 15:10 |
| rsc__ | not sure where to ask this. how can i do something like FOO=`date +%Y` in a makefile? | 15:10 |
| amenado | g0g0r1n-> what same error? i ask you to add alias net-pf-10 off on the aliases file | 15:10 |
| bn43 | and thats why I'm a little frustrated | 15:11 |
| amenado | g0g0r1n-> then you ifdown eth1; ifup eth1 | 15:11 |
| Guest86314 | i'm sure youll figure it out | 15:11 |
| gumpish | bn43, Ok, in the search message dialog I can specify "Subject contains 'foo'" and "From contains 'bar'" | 15:11 |
| g0g0r1n | amenado, i'have already done that .... yet before trying rmmod .... still the same | 15:12 |
| amenado | g0g0r1n-> you rebooted since then? i didnt suggest using rmmod | 15:12 |
| g0g0r1n | amenado, i will try to reboot again | 15:12 |
| bn43 | gumpish: I'm looking at the search bar on the top right of the window? | 15:13 |
| gumpish | yeah, you can't use that for complex searches I donlt hink... (more than one search term) | 15:13 |

| bn43 | now I see what u mean | 15:14 |
| bn43 | a bit tedious! | 15:14 |
| gumpish | though you'll want to be sure to select "Match ALL of the following" | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | bn43: use tracker Apps>Accesories>Tracker search tool | 15:14 |
| gumpish | or what erUSUL said. I don't know what the tracker's capable of. | 15:14 |
| SimoneB_ | Hi. I'm trying to do a write-only shared folder. I already have a fully working read/write shared folder over SMB. I tried to make a subfolder with -r permissions, although this does not work and clients always get a "permission denied". I've seen there is a "dont descend" option that seems to serve exactly for this work, but... isn't this a bug? Is this behaviour correct? | 15:15 |
| WastePotato | Yay! | 15:15 |
| gumpish | bn43, Of course if you can convince Apple to publish Mail.app for Linux that would be fine too. =) | 15:15 |

| bn43 | just a matter of time before it works like apple's mail | 15:18 |
| scunizi | askand.. sounds like you're talking about Oo and writer.. there is a function for column breaks but I can't remember where it's located. | 15:18 |
| gumpish | bn43, of course, if you refer to particular senders often you can create a saved search folder for them, then use the search bar for filtering by subject... | 15:19 |
| bn43 | yeah I can see that but my searching is mostly dynamic | 15:20 |

| bn43 | bugger wish there was a shortcut key to bring it up | 15:21 |
| sebastianito | how can i change name on them? | 15:21 |
| bn43 | context says 'Shift F' but that does nothing | 15:22 |
| g0g0r1n_ | amenado, i'm after reboot .. ipv6 module is not loaded anymore .... but ping is still the same | 15:22 |
| gumpish | bn43, really? worksforme | 15:22 |
| bn43 | ?? posibly have a conflicting key then | 15:23 |
| amenado | g0g0r1n-> really? well, i still dont know from which host you're pinging from, vmware? what is the ip address? are there firewalls? | 15:24 |
| Bjornalf | bn43: for find? i thought that was always alt-f | 15:24 |
| sebastianito | i have 3 different folders with the same name in /media , but they are different partitions, how can i change the name on them? | 15:24 |
| scunizi | sebastianito, changing the name is pretty easy in /media.. however if you do it there you also have to fix fstab | 15:24 |
| chandu | how to remove vmware ?? | 15:24 |

| danbh_intrepid | sebastianito: are they named disk disk-1 disk-2 | 15:26 |

| bn43 | ok got the Shift F to work | 15:27 |
| sebastianito | danbh_intrepid: not its, EXTERNDISK, EXTERN DISK, EXTERN DISK_ | 15:27 |
| danbh_intrepid | Schuenemann: -d | 15:27 |
| bn43 | still tedious and slow! compared to Mail | 15:27 |
| bn43 | but it works | 15:27 |
| sebastianito | but 1 folder is windows and 1 folder is nothing | 15:27 |
| jim_p | Schuenemann: apt-get install -d package | 15:27 |
| Schuenemann | thanks | 15:27 |
| bn43 | thanks gumpish | 15:27 |
| scunizi | sebastianito, fstab is in /etc/fstab and should referance all your drives/partitions.. any extra partitions or drives that you're using for additional storage will show a mount point in fstab and it's corrisponding /media reference | 15:28 |
| sebastianito | i am loking there | 15:28 |
| sebastianito | but its wrong | 15:28 |
| sebastianito | /dev/sda2 /media/EXTERNDISK ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 15:28 |

I've already tried copying the old xorg.conf over the altered one. No joy. Any ideas? T | 15:56 |
| Svish | Hm... for the next command "ifconfig rtap0 up" I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument O.o what am I doing wrong here? | 15:56 |

| _Zeus_ | WDC: try using ctrl+larrow and rightarrow | 16:12 |
| scunizi | WDC, do you have compiz effects running? | 16:13 |
| staaleu | Bilange, My experience is just that getting all the group and user permissions to stick doesn't always work, and you do want the www-data user to own all files and folders under /var/www | 16:13 |
| erUSUL | tv7497: or use http://www.astra32.com/ | 16:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tv7497: Alternatively, navigate to \Windows\inf\ ,View details, sort by date and look for the most recent file with a name like oemXX.inf where XX is a number... Ideally you will find one with the date you installed the driver for that device. Open it in Notepad, and pastebin the contents as asked | 16:13 |

| brian_ | I know about the gdm method but when i do that the machine still loads a lot of stuff and is slow compared to a server without a desktop | 16:31 |
| scunizi | battousaix, that's really weird....and did you turn off/blacklist ipv6 on the home machine from the remote location? | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | Cheeky: then do "echo eepro100 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules" so you do not have to do it manually everytime you reboot | 16:31 |
| opt1k | Bliss: is not something i'd call a real virus XD | 16:31 |

| battousaix | root@battousaix-desktop:~# ifconfig a | grep v6 produces: a: error fetching interface information: Device not found | 16:32 |
| battousaix | No, not using screen. | 16:32 |
| hoonteke | jrib: it's not a log out issue. Just tried from the command line, logging after and trying it again. The error it gave back was from gedit both times. | 16:32 |
| === sisto1 is now known as sisto | ||
| jrib | hoonteke: right. gnomevfs thinks the default app is still gedit | 16:32 |
| battousaix | scunizi: :( Forgot to use your name again, not using screen. | 16:32 |
| scunizi | battousaix, have you checked for a rom image update for the router? | 16:32 |
| hardcore | is there a way to restore the recycle bin after accidently deleting it? | 16:33 |
| scunizi | battousaix, also was your install of Hardy actually an upgrade from Gutsy? | 16:33 |
| hoonteke | jrib: what am I missing in the text output from gnomevfs-info test.txt? I see the MIME type, but where would I find the program to call it? | 16:33 |
| mystery | does anyone know anything about airsnort? | 16:33 |
| _Zeus_ | hardcore: what do you mean, deleting it? | 16:33 |
| jrib | hoonteke: Default app | 16:33 |
| battousaix | scunizi: No, never tried. I was never sure what to look for to see what was terminating the connection. As from home I could connect to work and it would still timeout. :( I guess it would have to be router. | 16:33 |
| _Zeus_ | hardcore: did you remove it from the panel, or did you empty it | 16:34 |
| hoonteke | jrib: from the commandline? I don't have that field ... | 16:34 |
| hardcore | i deleted the bottom task bar and i want to put one on the top task bar because i don't use a bottom one now | 16:34 |
| scunizi | battousaix, I had a similar issue with a dlink router.. swapped it out for a linux based linksys.. seemed to have fixed the problem.. | 16:34 |
| jrib | hoonteke: gnomevfs-info /path/to/some/text/file | grep -i default | 16:35 |
| _Zeus_ | hardcore: just right click, add to panel, and find the trash can | 16:35 |
| brian_ | I installed the ubuntu desktop, I ran aptitude install ubuntu-desktop but I want the machine to boot into terminal and I want to run gnome-session or startx for a desktop interface | 16:35 |
| hardcore | i'm looking for it | 16:35 |
| brian_ | I know about the gdm method but when i do that the machine still loads a lot of stuff and is slow compared to a server without a desktop | 16:35 |
| hoonteke | jrib: empty output. | 16:35 |
| hoonteke | I may be looking at another problem then. hmm | 16:35 |
| hoonteke | this is hardy. | 16:35 |
| hardcore | thanks | 16:35 |
| scunizi | I just got spammed in PM | 16:35 |
| brian_ | what file can i edit to fix this? | 16:36 |
| Dr_Link | OK, so I accidentally set my resolution to the lowest setting (320 by 125 if I remember correctly) while trying to set it up (I blame the mouse wheel). How do I set it back? | 16:36 |
| hoonteke | scunizi: it happens. just ignore it. | 16:36 |
| tv7497 | okiee i forgot the name of the sir who asked me to lspci and lsusb here is the paste sir http://paste.ubuntu.com/48942/ | 16:36 |

| opt1k | lynx: Can't access startfile | 16:36 |
| opt1k | any help? | 16:36 |
| jrib | hoonteke: k, weird. This might have something to do with the fact that gnomevfs is being replaced by gvfs. xdg-open exhibits the same behavior though | 16:37 |
| Dr_Link | The screen resolution is so bad I can't even see the System menu. | 16:37 |
| Cheeky | erUSUL: hey man i did that and i typed this command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and it gave me the same error .. | 16:37 |
| Dr_Link | So what exactly do I do? | 16:37 |
| hoonteke | jrib: heh, k. it's not a *big* deal. just annoying | 16:37 |
| athleone | Ohhh man flash games in ubuntu SUCKS. | 16:37 |
| athleone | How come? | 16:37 |
| battousaix | scunizi: My install was from the Get Ubuntu link, and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011. Sorry still don't know the terminology yet, it was a new install. | 16:37 |
| erUSUL | Cheeky: have you done "sudo modprobe eepro100" does ifconfig shows a eth0 interface ? | 16:37 |
| hoonteke | jrib: did not know about xdg open. but it at least has a man page. :-) | 16:37 |
| casao | question - would defining X modules make it faster than having it autodetect? i removed synaptic definition, theo nly one, and it seems to have cut off 5 seconds or so | 16:37 |
| jrib | hoonteke: haha, xdg-open just calls gnome-open :) | 16:37 |
| Cheeky | erUSUL: when i did the modprobe and ran the "sudo dhclient" it worked..but the tuttorial that showed me to change to static ip told me to remove dhclient .. so i did !!!! | 16:38 |
| tv7497 | guys my netgear works great with windows but isnt detected with ubuntu here is the paste of lsusb and lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/48942/ | 16:38 |

| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| Blade2019 | Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu on the Medion Akoya Mini? | 16:46 |
| scunizi | Dr_Link, try ... xrandr -s <resolution> .. like.. xrandr -s 1280x1024 | 16:46 |
| KermitDFrog | I'm attempting to get Warcraft III to run via WINE on a (somewhat outdated) laptop with an integrated graphics card--it ran fine on a Windows install, but on Ubuntu it's terribly slow, even with the -opengl option. The laptop has also had trouble with running other graphics-intensive games, like Warsow, but had no problem running these things under XP. Why the sudden difference in performance, and what can I do to fix it? | 16:46 |
| Yekyaa[Ubuntu] | anyone else get a random message from "jann" a bit ago? | 16:46 |
| ubuntu_ | Anyone ever got a Conexant Falcon II TV Tuner workin in Ubuntu? | 16:47 |
| scunizi | KermitDFrog, try #winehq | 16:47 |
| Lunar_Lamp | I have a strange issue with GDM. The resolution is such that I can only see the top-left quarter of the screen; but once I get into Gnome the resolution is fine. Where can I fix this? | 16:47 |
| smokewon | Dr_Link here you go: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/envyng-gtk/download | 16:47 |
| smokewon | use it, trust me | 16:47 |
| smokewon | i feel your pain | 16:47 |
| smokewon | i know | 16:47 |
| KermitDFrog | might hang around a bit in case anyone has a sudden inspiration, but i'll give that a shot--thanks | 16:47 |
| Dr_Link | I already said. | 16:48 |
| Dr_Link | I already have the drivers. | 16:48 |
| Dr_Link | I've *had* the drivers. | 16:48 |
| smokewon | there obviously not installed correctly then no? | 16:48 |
| Dr_Link | for a good while. | 16:48 |
| smokewon | make sure you uninstall them before reinstalling them ;-) | 16:48 |
| smokewon | ^ important | 16:48 |
| Dr_Link | smokewon. | 16:48 |
| Dr_Link | Listen carefully. | 16:48 |
| opt1k | is there a text only variant to pidgin= | 16:48 |
| Dr_Link | I installed them correctly. | 16:48 |
| scunizi | Dr_Link, xrandr is not a driver.. it's what controls (for the most part) resolution. | 16:48 |
| battousaix | scunizi: I'm familiar with screen for installations of CPanel, or longer running scripts toward end of shift. :( | 16:49 |
| smokewon | then why do you have problems with your reso? | 16:49 |
| Daps | Can anyone tell me how i can get my PS3 to notice my GNUMP3d server ??? | 16:49 |

| jim_p | Blade2019: what is a medion aqua mini and how it differs from a normal pc? | 16:49 |
| hoonteke | open will work again! yay. :-) | 16:49 |
| Dr_Link | AFter installing them, while in the Screen Resolution dialog, smokewon, I set the resolution too low. | 16:49 |
| filthpig | KermitDFrog, because games that are DirectX based are very resource consuming when running through Wine. Wine has it's own support channel over at #winehq, by the way | 16:49 |
| hoonteke | it's always lovely when problems are simple. | 16:49 |
| hoonteke | thanks for your help jrib. | 16:49 |
| scunizi | battousaix, I haven't used it much.. still getting use to it. | 16:50 |
| smokewon | just edit xorg.conf accordingly Dr_Link | 16:50 |

| sebastian | refresh it | 16:53 |
| jim_p | sebash: killall gnome-panel | 16:53 |
| jim_p | hi qsrv | 16:53 |
| sebastian | thx :D | 16:53 |
| qsrv | has anyone had problems with the gnome panel? I set my bottom panel to autohide and no expand. After rebooting, it is shown at the top of the screen. | 16:54 |
| qsrv | Plus the items on the panel (launchers) are mixed up | 16:54 |
| clarkKent | How do I browse to a certain folder as root in ubuntu | 16:54 |
| jamesish | crews3: don't kill your persistent superblock until you tell me more about your setup | 16:54 |
| hardcore | no it didn't work | 16:54 |
| tv7497 | erUSUL: whats next sir ? | 16:54 |
| scunizi | clarkKent, you don't need root to browse | 16:55 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, I just set up a ubuntu server install and I have four hard drives in it. Two of them are the same size and I want to set up a software raid 1 for data protection. The other driver I just want to run normally | 16:55 |
| clarkKent | scunizi: i'm trying to browse to a folder that has a different owner | 16:55 |
| clarkKent | it says 'permission denied' | 16:56 |
| scunizi | clarkKent, at terminal .. sudo ls <location> or from the gui.. gksudo nautilus | 16:56 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, I installed the program you mentioned and then did a reboot and webmin gave me options on how to set up the raid | 16:56 |
| jamesish | Crewsr3: okay; killing your persistent superblock is destroying something at the file system level. You'll be erasing any information on the 2 drives that you're RAIDing together. Only do that if you're sure there's nothing on there you need and you're sure that you've backed everything up blah blah. | 16:56 |
| clarkKent | scunizi thanks | 16:56 |
| jamesish | Crews3: plus give a few seconds before doing it so that if I mis-state anything, one of the admins here can correct me ;) | 16:57 |
| scunizi | clarkKent, np | 16:57 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, Ok, I'm sure that there is nothing on these two drivers, I have offloaded both of them | 16:57 |
| qsrv | so, hasn't anybody had any problems with gnome's panels? | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | tv7497: it uses RTL8187B i think you have to do "sudo modprobe rtl8187" to load te module... then check with "iwconfig" that you got a wireless interface... | 16:57 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, They are both empty and ready to be formated | 16:57 |
| smokewon | qsrv what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 16:57 |
| Dr_Link | I tried editing xorg.conf through a LiveCD, but when I try to save changes it tells me I don't have permissions... what did I do wrong? | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | tv7497: this would be far easier if you could connect to irc from your ubuntu instalation | 16:57 |
| smokewon | Dr_LInk open a terminal in the live CD session, and type in "sudo su" | 16:58 |
| smokewon | then try make the changes and save | 16:58 |
| v3ctor | Dr_Link: did you try to edit the one on the cd? | 16:58 |
| jamesish | Crewsr3: This is the kind of moment where you have to sit back, start letting it run and take some time to reflect on the idea that these drives need to be left alone until the process is complete. | 16:58 |
| Dr_Link | no. | 16:58 |
| Dr_Link | I tried editing the one on my hard drive while booted from the CD. | 16:58 |
| smokewon | so after you type in sudo su | 16:58 |
| smokewon | type in nautilus | 16:58 |
| battousaix | In general what does everyone use for video conversion? | 16:59 |
| smokewon | and all will be clear | 16:59 |
| scunizi | better to just type gksudo nautilus | 16:59 |
| smokewon | ya or that | 16:59 |
| scunizi | smokewon, sudo su is not recommended. | 16:59 |

| jamesish | Crewsr3: Go for it, dude. Welcome to the pleasant world of RAIDed hard drives. | 17:01 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, I have not started building the raid yet, I have a few questions if you don't mind.....So it sounds like I want to do Persistent superblock (to wipe out/formate the drives) as for the chuck size I was thinking of going for 64kB, and lastly what is "Force initialisation of Raid" do for me, do I need to select yes or no? | 17:01 |
| comatsu | v3ctor: this is going to sound stupid.. im pretty sure i am.. how do i check? | 17:01 |
| qsrv | but only the one that is both autohide and non-expanding is causing me problems | 17:01 |
| smokewon | qsrv ah ok, ive never tried that before myself though | 17:01 |

| FedererRoger | what is Fiesty? | 17:08 |
| dr_willis | anw, mount it manually from the command line, or make a proper entry in fstab for it? | 17:08 |
| mukiex | Is there a chatroom here for hard drive arrays? =3 | 17:08 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, Thanks for all of your help | 17:08 |
| battousaix | clarkKent: Download getDataBack from runtime.org. In windows the pointer is removed from the file, the earlier you get to the file the better chance that the address does not contain any different data. With the free copy from runtime.org, you'll be unable to grab files separate, though will have an image to work with. It's been a while since I've used. | 17:08 |
| jamesish | Crews3: Remember: if they're empty drives, we can always format and redo if need be. | 17:08 |
| FedererRoger | how may i switch to Debian? | 17:08 |
| mukiex | FedererRoger - Ubuntu version that came out before Gutsy | 17:08 |

| ceil420 | or was it .10? | 17:08 |
| Crewsr3 | jamesish, here we go | 17:08 |
| FedererRoger | so Fiesty is inferior? | 17:08 |
| ceil420 | FedererRoger, it has older packages | 17:08 |

| DarX | whats the package for hamachi? i cant find it | 17:09 |
| ceil420 | FedererRoger, it's recommended that you update Ubuntu every six months (in April and October) so you can upgrade your packages to the newest versions | 17:09 |
| jamesish | Crewsr3: Just remember, you're not done once the RAID is built. Start reading up on building raid with mdadm to get a feel for what to do next. | 17:09 |
| clarkKent | battousaix thanks i'll try it out | 17:09 |
| DarX | whats the package for hamachi? i cant find it | 17:09 |

| ceil420 | google it | 17:10 |
| FedererRoger | the next version of Ubuntu will include Photoshop? | 17:10 |
| jvr | can anyone help me get mozilla-acroread working | 17:10 |
| wers | when i was going to delete the torrent file, I accidentally deleted also the downloaded files on deluge. to what directory do those deleted files go to? | 17:10 |
| DarX | i did, only the tarball | 17:10 |
| DarX | and im lazy | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | anw, you could use the /dev/whatever name.. and im not sure a partition can NOT have a uuid of some type.. | 17:10 |
| jvr | ive installed it all as per instructions | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | !uuid | 17:10 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 17:10 |
| jvr | on amd64, and its not showing up in mozilla about:plugins | 17:10 |
| ceil420 | FedererRoger, I seriously doubt it. Photoshop is a proprietary program not officially supported for any version of Linux; it'd also take up half a CD. | 17:10 |

| jamesish | jvr: I always hear odd things about folks making mistakes like using the 32 bit plugin with the 64 bit version of FF; you sure you got your versions all correct? | 17:11 |
| battousaix | FedererRoger: Why not use Gimp? | 17:11 |
| legend2440 | wers: its not in the Trash bin? | 17:11 |
| ceil420 | FedererRoger, Adobe Photoshop is known to work in Wine up to version CS2, but I recommend getting to know The GIMP, a free image editor for Linux | 17:11 |
| rsc_ | !ppa | 17:11 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 17:11 |
| DarX | gimp sucks | 17:11 |
| anw | dr_willis: there's uuID of first (system) partition, uuID of second (swap) partition, but there is no other uuID | 17:11 |

| jvr | jamesish: ive downloaded everything from here: http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/package/ | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | anw, what filesystem is this partition anyway? | 17:12 |
| ceil420 | DarX, it's more than capable of performing the tasks that most people need done - I use it every day, and I used Photoshop from 7 to CS2. | 17:12 |
| FedererRoger | GIMP is like NOTEPAD , compared to Photoshop as OpenOffice Word | 17:12 |
| wers | I know that psor. i just want to recover the files that i accidentally deleted | 17:12 |
| battousaix | DarX a software package is only as good as the one using it. To be honest, one of the best paintings I've ever seen was from MSPaint, and found on collegehumor.com | 17:12 |
| jamesish | jvr: well, that was my smart idea down the drain ;) | 17:12 |
| jvr | :/ | 17:12 |
| legend2440 | !trash | wers | 17:12 |
| ubottu | wers: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 17:12 |
| DarX | true that | 17:12 |
| DarX | mona lisa | 17:12 |
| jvr | this is weird. everything is installed as per instructions | 17:12 |
| anw | dr_willis: fresh ext2 | 17:13 |
| ceil420 | FedererRoger, GIMP is actually a very capable program, once you know how to use it. You were used to Windows, and you're now learning Linux; you are used to Photoshop - give GIMP a chance | 17:13 |
| SiDi | FedererRoger, you can use VirtualBox to run CS3 | 17:13 |
| anw | dr_willis: previously it was encrypted TrueCrypt partition | 17:13 |
| SiDi | that's what i do and it works fine | 17:13 |
| battousaix | DarX http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1728017 If that was done in MSPaint, imagine what you can do with Gimp... | 17:13 |
| SiDi | ceil420, gimp is to photoshop what windows is to linux | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | anw, somthing is weird then. You did format it after fdisking/changeing its filetype correct? You can set the uuid with the tune2fs command also i recall. | 17:13 |
| wers | i know that, legend2440. it's not there. i deleted the files through deluge's gui | 17:13 |
| ceil420 | SiDi, Hardly... | 17:14 |
| FedererRoger | SiDi: im tryin to use VirtualBox seamssly with WinXP to display in my 4 x 24 " monitors, but doesnt work | 17:14 |
| legend2440 | wers: oh ok | 17:14 |
| SiDi | FedererRoger, once you got windows installed | 17:14 |
| jamesish | jvr: without meaning to sound like an ass, either it's not installed as per instructions, or your instructions are faulty. Have you verified the instructions elsewhere? | 17:14 |
| SiDi | you can install a virtualbox software | 17:14 |
| SiDi | that allows you to change your screen res easily | 17:15 |
| battousaix | FedererRoger: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1728017 If that was done in MSPaint, imagine what you can do with Gimp... | 17:15 |
| Schuenemann | battousaix, don't feed the troll... | 17:15 |
| SiDi | i just love how gimp fanboys give effort into telling us we should give up the most efficient piece of software for another which GUI and ergonomy design is just the exact contrary of what we use | 17:15 |
| coonlokht_ | hi | 17:16 |
| battousaix | Schuenemann: Didn't notice. :( | 17:16 |
| tekteen | hi | 17:16 |
| coonlokht_ | is there any dvd box with a remote controleur under linux ? | 17:16 |
| SiDi | We use photoshop because we don't like gimp, thats all :) | 17:16 |
| SiDi | FedererRoger, run your XP in virtualbox, then | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | I use gimp because it does what i need. and its easy on my wallet. | 17:16 |
| {PseudoNymX} | Newbie here, need help with the no sound issue. The forum has proved unsuccessful. | 17:16 |
| Schuenemann | battousaix, but I'll see anyway :) | 17:16 |
| FedererRoger | SiDi: im using virtualbox, but UBUNTu + Virtuabox = BUG on seammesly mode! | 17:17 |
| SiDi | Peripherals -> Install a CD/DVD -> Install from image -> VBoxGuestAdditions | 17:17 |
| SiDi | i'm on it right now and it works perfectly FedererRoger | 17:17 |
| ceil420 | SiDi, you didn't install Photoshop and instantly know how to use it, you learned it. Why not take an afternoon and learn the GIMP? GIMPshop is available to make you more comfortable with the UI, and the program itself does not cost hundreds of dollars | 17:17 |
| anw | dr_willis: I use tune2fs (tune2fs -U random /dev/sda3), but no change .. ): | 17:17 |
| battousaix | SiDi: I don't use either Gimp or Photoshop, though this is kind of funny reminding me of the thread in why people choose Microsoft over Linux. One of the arguments was people could afford windows, or believed windows was better. ;) | 17:17 |
| SiDi | ceil420, i already had to use Gimp, and i can say from my experience that : Photoshop filters, being more resource-consuming, are more efficient | 17:18 |
| FedererRoger | SiDi: no , doesnt work https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/230811 | 17:18 |

| comatsu | anyone use vmware in ubuntu and can help me with 'failed to connect to peer process' error? | 17:18 |
| SiDi | and that photoshop keyboard shortcuts are much more user-friendly and ergonomic than gimp ones | 17:18 |
| Schuenemann | battousaix, or everybody uses it :D | 17:18 |
| Schuenemann | or "why change?" | 17:18 |
| ceil420 | SiDi, you can set the GIMP keyboard shortcuts to whatever you need to use | 17:18 |
| battousaix | I like the way ceil420 thinks, but I think I'm going with Schuenemann on feeding trolls. | 17:18 |
| SiDi | yeh, and i dislike having to pass an afternoon setting shortcuts because they're just weird | 17:19 |
| FedererRoger | Gimp is inferior by default, cant compete with industry standards | 17:19 |
| ceil420 | battousaix, indeed | 17:19 |
| SiDi | gimp is very good for people who do simple things and for people who don't need the BIG BIG suit, but photoshop remains better for pro designers | 17:19 |
| SiDi | thats my point of view | 17:19 |
| Yekyaa[Ubuntu] | ok, since we're talking about gimp now | 17:19 |
| Yekyaa[Ubuntu] | does anyone know of a converter from Paint.NET PDN images to Gimp format or even to PSD? | 17:19 |

| dr_willis | anw, why would you use -U random ? if its /dev/sda3 you could mount it using the /dev/sda3 name. I guess. also some changes to disks might need a reboot to be seen by the system | 17:20 |
| FedererRoger | gimp is totally inferior, cant even support 32 bits graphics | 17:20 |

| murlidhar | http://paste.ubuntu.com/48958/ | 17:22 |

| battousaix | Schuenemann: I think google should start using that as a slogan, though throw a bit of sarcasm in there. I swear google will soon have a monopoly over something. They are growing too bing and preventing their growth can only lead to failure. My county projected within the next year to have a county-wide wireless network. Google offered to set it up and were denied... | 17:22 |

| jamesish | Crewsr3: It'll be something like /dev/md0 | 17:23 |
| legend2440 | SiDi: http://www.gimpshop.com/ | 17:23 |

| neighborlee | curious.. is using the server OS going to gain me anything over just desktop ( no I dont have mass servers, just looking to start simple and build ontop of that) ?? | 17:24 |
| murlidhar | SiDi: nobody is forcing you to use it | 17:24 |
| Schuenemann | battousaix, hehehe. Well, they already have a slogan... everytime they make something (like chrome or android), people say "it is MADE BY GOOGLE" | 17:24 |

| Crewsr3 | jamesish, Thanks for the heads up, it is listed at /dev/md0 | 17:25 |
| jamesish | Crewsr3: You'll also need to put a file system on there, I believe. | 17:25 |
| leprasmurf | xbxb: the symlink will still be their, but won't work. once the device is remounted (as long as it's mounted to the same location) it should once again work | 17:25 |

| jamesish | Crewsr3: Make sure you do the file system before mounting it; it's been a while since I used mdadm, so your *best bet* is to do a little googling, find out what to do to put a file system on there if necessary, do that via webmin, then find out how webmin will help you mount the drive. | 17:26 |

| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 17:49 |
| mapreduce | How could I make a program into something that can be controlled via /etc/init.d/myprog restart etc.? | 17:50 |
| FedererRoger | what ubuntu comes without fonts? no wonder how ugly | 17:50 |
| mapreduce | It's a program I wrote in Haskell, but hopefully the answer is language-agnostic. | 17:50 |
| Lunar_Lamp | mapreduce: the init.d scripts are all fairly simple if you know bash. | 17:51 |
| jb_ | b-relaxed, ok so it wasent installed but i read that 8.10 should install it under the installtion of 8.10. i got an eeepc 900. | 17:51 |
| icedtea | mapreduce: you'll have to make a scriopt in /etc/init.d | 17:51 |
| marcules | hi :) | 17:51 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Just copy one that exists and edit it to your needs. | 17:51 |
| mapreduce | Ok, I'll read one. | 17:51 |
| erUSUL | mapreduce: check /etc/init.d/skeleton is a bash script that serves as example on how to do a init.d script | 17:51 |
| mapreduce | My specific use case is that I build something on the local machine, stop it on the remote, copy the new version to the remote and then start it on the remote again. | 17:51 |
| amorphous_ | I lose the music I'm playing when I switch users in hardy, is there any way to keep the sound going as in gutsy? if I could just get a keyword that could help me find a solution it would be great | 17:51 |
| mapreduce | Is that reasonable for init.d scripts? | 17:51 |
| erUSUL | mapreduce: also check other scripts for clues. once you have the script ready just copy it to /etc/init.d/ and make it executable done | 17:52 |

| nananuu | is there a recovery reboot or smth? because my effects don`t work I did some thing wrong | 19:39 |
| chubs | rsc__, but you also don't really need to distribute those as a deb. when you use debuild it appends your arch to the deb | 19:40 |

| ttwio | bunnyto:: envyng | 20:57 |
| yigal | this would hopefully speed boot time by a few seconds | 20:57 |
| Flannel | jrib: The only real gotcha is that you need a priority over 1000 to force downgrades | 20:57 |
| NemesisUK | i got a problem with teamspeak and running a game (sound issues) anyone can help? | 20:57 |
| jrib | Flannel: yeah, just not seeing how I can match all the hardy-proposed stuff | 20:57 |
| ttwio | 5) bunnyto: what is the name of the utility to install ATI or NVIDIA drivers? | 20:58 |
| bunnyto | ttwio: THANK you | 20:58 |
| jrib | Flannel: wait, are you saying I can just match everything and give it 1001? Then apt will just use whatever is most current according to its new sources.list? | 20:58 |

| EvilDaemon | What command add's the user 'bob' to the group 'vboxusers' ? | 20:58 |
| NemesisUK | i am running mohaa:AA in wine and teamspeak native linux but when i start the game i dont get sound in the game only in teamspeak | 20:58 |
| ph8 | EvilDaemon: man groupadd | 20:59 |
| Guest77417 | ebel: that is how that character looks in my terminal: � | 20:59 |
| NemesisUK | when i shut down teamspeak i get sound in the game | 20:59 |
| ph8 | in fact it might be man useradd | 20:59 |
| EvilDaemon | ph8: Thanks. | 20:59 |
| ph8 | np | 20:59 |
| ph8 | EvilDaemon: You *could* edit /etc/group and write in 'bob' after vboxusers: | 20:59 |
| ph8 | that's how i'd do it but I suppose a command based way is bette | 21:00 |
| ph8 | * better | 21:00 |
| Bilange | it's less error-prone, at least | 21:00 |
| bmoc | in "terminal server client" in ubuntu, only RDP and RDPv5 is enabled, while VNC and XDMCP are grayed out... how would I enable the VNC option, or.. is there a better VNC viewer for ubuntu? | 21:00 |
| EvilDaemon | ph8: It's not groupadd, that just makes groups. I'll try the second theory. | 21:00 |

| Orchid` | i am having issues with flash and java failing. i use to be able to watch youtube, and lsiten to my project playlist. now the pages wont load. will someone PLEASE HELP me? | 21:05 |
| yigal | Orchid`: 64bit? | 21:05 |

| Orchid` | yigal, indeed sir | 21:06 |
| kosta | how do i downgrade subversion 1.5.1 to 1.4.3? | 21:06 |
| bunnyto | no, debian lol | 21:06 |
| yigal | Orchid`: right, not sure of a total fix but you can do a "killall npviewer" in a terminal and then reload the video - this works more than .5 the time - not a solution though | 21:07 |
| Orchid` | yigal, err what exactly does killall npviewer do exactly? | 21:07 |
| yigal | Orchid`: another way is to simply download the video with youtube-dl, and then watch it on your computer, but this is most likely even worse | 21:07 |
| Orchid` | jsut terminate the process? | 21:07 |
| Marcos_ | You guys know why I can't change the startup sound? I cutted a mp3 file in audacity and save it to .wav, and still can't play on the startup. I tried to save in various .wav format, in different frequency and not even one played. | 21:07 |

| Bogus8 | Question, is reiser4 supported in 8.04 LTS Server kerner or do I need the kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4? | 21:07 |
| Orchid` | yigal, yeah if i try to resize movie player ( totem) it fails and closes automatically, and jumping chapters in movies is the same now | 21:08 |
| yigal | Orchid`: npviewer is the wrapper for the 32bit flash for 64bit | 21:08 |
| kosta | danbh_intrepid: synaptic only has 1.5.1 | 21:08 |
| yigal | Orchid`: oh, not good | 21:08 |
| jrib | NorthByNorthWest: alright, here's what your /etc/apt/preferences needs to look like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49056/ | 21:08 |
| Orchid` | yigal, alright so then i f i try to view the video again should it begin again, the npviewer that is | 21:09 |
| yigal | Orchid`: mplayer? | 21:09 |
| yigal | Orchid`: Ctrl-R | 21:09 |

| danbh_intrepid | kosta: you have to go back all the way to feisty for that, why do you need that? | 21:11 |
| kosta | danbh_intrepid: because there's a bug, http://www.eby-sarna.com/pipermail/peak/2008-April/002937.html | 21:12 |
| kosta | and that approach didn't work, so the only option is to downgrade | 21:12 |
| jrib | NorthByNorthWest: after you do that, run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s upgrade' and pastebin | 21:12 |
| danbh_intrepid | kosta: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=subversion anyway, good luck | 21:12 |

| smm289 | I created a VM config file at easyVMX.com what am i supposed to install so that I can use the VM. I would like to run XP from inside ubuntu | 21:13 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: No. It's not mainline yet, and as such not supported. ReiserFS (Resier 3) is supported though. | 21:13 |
| Orchid` | yigal, i can play the files through window smedia player though, but of course it opens up fullscreen for my browser, thus is how i get project playlist right now | 21:13 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: hmm, they have the packages for managing it | 21:13 |
| Orchid` | smm289, last time i checked the site, it does not work that way | 21:13 |
| Orchid` | smm289, but it can work the other way around | 21:14 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: can I add it... it seems quite stable from what I've read... just a bunch of politics and redtape keeping it out of the kernel? | 21:14 |
| Orchid` | note the can, never said does. | 21:14 |
| smm289 | ohh, well is there a way I can run XP from inside ubuntu | 21:14 |
| waterman | smm289: yes | 21:14 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: you can't install to it, I suppose you may be able to use it afterwards (possibly even migrating to it) | 21:14 |
| Orchid` | thats actually what i emant, the XP inside ubuntu.. but ahve a look at the ubuntu webpage. http://ubuntu.com | 21:14 |
| yigal | smm289: many many ways | 21:14 |

| rach | hi | 21:15 |
| waterman | smm289: use virtualbox, it is free and works just fine | 21:15 |
| smm289 | and virtualbox is listed in the Add/remove section of ubuntu | 21:15 |
| yigal | smm289: simplest may not suit your needs, virtualbox workstation has usb driver support as far as I'm aware other options do not, you may not need it but just a heads up | 21:15 |
| smm289 | good deal | 21:15 |
| yigal | s/virtualbox/vmware | 21:16 |

| waterman | if you need a high level of security and your cpu supports hardware virtualization, then you can use kqemu (not as comfortable though) | 21:16 |

| NorthByNorthWest | jrib: oki, ill just enable it in the gui tool | 21:16 |

| smm289 | can can i check if my cpu supports hardware virtualization | 21:16 |
| Ka1 | Does an X86 arch OS work on a x64 platform? | 21:16 |

| frederific | Cpudan80: Yeah, I guess it is. this is on my laptop; on my desktop ALSA works... | 21:23 |

| jrib | NorthByNorthWest: ignore that last one. just do: sudo apt-get install libc6=2.7-10ubuntu3 lib32asound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 libasound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 | 21:37 |

| anars | dr_willis: me neither. I just typed in my username manually, but I thought I might look into it anyway. | 21:38 |
| dr_willis | anars, another test -> sudo echo `id -un` also prints willis. :) | 21:38 |
| delta16 | damn i took me a whole houre to compile Gnash :S | 21:38 |

| vecx | rod: projectors ususally work out of the box with Ubuntu, you just need to hit fn + Fsomething key on your laptop for it to work | 21:40 |
| vecx | it depends on your laptop | 21:40 |
| Akiva | I am a first-time SVN user (using SVN from MediaTemple via Subclipse Eclipse plugin). MediaTemples insructions suggest to setup the repo in a non public folder (data) and not in the document root. I assume this is a security measure. So when I commit, it only updates the repo, not the site itself. So I must FTP / SSH it anyway, yes? Is it that unsafe to have the repo on the doc root even if mod rewrite protects all .svn folders? | 21:40 |
| vecx | but it's usually the FN key + one of the F keys | 21:41 |
| vecx | for mine it is FN + F7 | 21:41 |
| kris_ | hi | 21:41 |
| Bogus8 | where can I get kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 package? | 21:41 |
| Flannel | Akiva: You set up the repo in a non-public folder because the data files for the repo aren't really human readable, and don't need to be. The data gets accessed through svn, not by hand. | 21:41 |
| kris_ | I need some help i want to know how to install starlogo on ubuntu manually | 21:42 |
| Akiva | Flannel: Correct, which is great for working with the files. But when you Commit, does that not also have the ability to update the site, I mean, you are technically posting the data in a way | 21:42 |
| kris_ | well its acrtually star logo tng | 21:42 |
| Flannel | Akiva: The repo stores all the data for everything, and then the site would be one working copy (just like the one you have on your computer) that gets checked out/updated/etc to bring it up to date. | 21:43 |
| Daps | can someone tell me how to set up an e-mail account on my desktop so that its myname@myname.com ?? | 21:44 |
| Rodzilla | vecx: thanks, but I try fn + f4 in my laptop... but I think is other problem. Because I can see in external monitor or proyector ONLY STARTUP PROCESS... when I have grafical login I can not see in external output! | 21:44 |
| === Guest62906 is now known as EvilDaemon | ||
| Akiva | Flannel: Thanks for your time. I figured a solo project was the best way to finally use SVN. I have been aching to. Back to topic: It seems odd because I can check out the repo, as it's only me anyway, and working on it, commit, etc, and the live site has not changed... So I must be misunderstanding something here. Also, other setups I have read about actually have the .svn folders within the live /html/ root, not like the MediaTemple tut | 21:44 |
| kris_ | does anybody know how to manually install packages | 21:44 |
| Akiva | kris_: You mean like a .deb you downloaded? | 21:44 |
| mrjerky | I'm having trouble with 'GRUB Error 21' in Ubuntu on startup | 21:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | kris_: why? | 21:44 |
| dr_willis | kris_, clarify what you mean by 'manual' | 21:45 |
| Flannel | Akiva: .svn is the data folder for a working copy, not the server. | 21:45 |
| kris_ | like a .trz | 21:45 |
| N1ckR | Intrepid is due out soon, what are the chances of Open Office 3 being available to Intrepid ? | 21:45 |
| Flannel | N1ckR: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks | 21:45 |
| mrjerky | I'm having trouble with 'GRUB Error 21' in Ubuntu's startup. I've gone into GRUB's command line and tried '/boot/grub/stage1' and that returns (hd0,0). However, GRUB is trying to boot off (hd2,0). How can I change this permanently to (hd0,0) | 21:45 |
| pixelmonkey | is there anything overtly wrong with using make-kpkg to build a vanilla kernel from git and installing the resultant deb in Ubuntu? Any guides I should know about for pitfalls to this practice? | 21:45 |
| kris_ | well i think that is is idk | 21:45 |
| Clown | mrjerky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 | 21:45 |
| N1ckR | Flannel - OK, Thanks. | 21:46 |
| Rodzilla | mrjerky: 'GRUB Error 21' is when table partition is wrong. | 21:46 |
| kris_ | it wont load on its own and the site i downloaded it from says u need to do it manual but give no instructions on how to do that | 21:46 |
| ale22944 | Hi all! I'm trying to set up a wireless connection between my ubuntu laptop and my Htc Artemis via WMWirelessRouter, anyone is expert? Ubuntu doesn't see any network instead of winzozz... | 21:46 |
| mrjerky | Rodzilla, how's that fixed? | 21:46 |
| Akiva | Flannel: I think I confused you. I know that the hidden .svn folders are the working copy data, not the actual server, but... Here, see their suggestion for yourself: http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=143, they actually suggest using a totally different place on the server for the repo, not storing the working folders within the /html/ doc root | 21:47 |
| td123 | N1ckR: if it isn't already included, it won't be... it's past the freeze | 21:47 |
| Rodzilla | mrjerky: rebuilding table partition | 21:47 |
| mrjerky | Rodzilla, is that a grub thing? | 21:47 |
| kris_ | sooo | 21:47 |
| Rodzilla | mrjerky, nop... You need use fdisk or gparted for remake partition. | 21:48 |
| mrjerky | I've got gparted | 21:48 |
| Akiva | Flannel: So, I understand the REPO is not in the servers public /html/ doc root, but when I access the site via FTP, the site is not even showing the .svn working folders, yet the REPO location is | 21:48 |
| TDJACR | Hi | 21:48 |
| nananuu | what must I backup to have the settings and all instaled programs backuped? file system or what? | 21:49 |

| itrebal | is it possible to adjust the style of power-saving? ie: scale vs. don't scale the CPU? | 21:49 |
| Akiva | Flannel: I hope that makes sense. Being a first time SVN user, I may be unclear in how it works, but it seems to me that not COMMITING it would not only update the repos working folders, allowing others to see the work, but should also update the files to the real life data, no? Otherwise it is strictly only to archive all changes. In which case, that was my first question. | 21:49 |
| Arney | i want a bio hazard suit for my birth day | 21:49 |
| usser | nananuu, to save settings backup your home folder. and to backup all programs use apt-on-cd | 21:49 |

| seanh | Hey, does anyone know a good little web server I can install on my laptop for web development (python, cgi)? I don't really want to install something like apache. I'm thinking more along the lines of the convenient development servers that frameworks like django come with, where you just run the server in a terminal not even as root, and just kill the process when you're done | 21:51 |
| radovich | is there color dept 32 in linux, or is 24 highest? | 21:51 |

| jrib | NorthByNorthWest: yeah, you'll probably get errors | 21:57 |

| askand | OdnsRvns:what plugin? | 22:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueGene right click the channel tab | 22:32 |
| OdnsRvns | i think its a shock wave ap | 22:32 |
| doc_willis | Lets see.. www.google.com | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | moglenstar: how do you mean "regular bash" | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | moglenstar: terminal gives you a regular user shell | 22:33 |
| BlueGene | Jack it just says copy when I click right in a channel | 22:33 |
| askand | OdnsRvns: hmI dont think shockwave works in ubuntu :-o | 22:33 |
| usser | Crewsr3, thats weird, try lspci how many network or ethernet controllers does that list? | 22:33 |
| OdnsRvns | to play flash games | 22:33 |
| moglenstar | ActionParsnip, well I don't seem to be able to do anything with the "ash" shell it gives, when I press alt+f2. The installer couldn't install a kernel on the computer, so I want to do it manually. | 22:33 |
| mrjerky | ActionParsnip, any ideas on that GRUB problem? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | OdnsRvns: you can install flash but shockwave doesnt run in linux afaik | 22:33 |

| ActionParsnip | mrjerky: ok you seem to be booting off hd2, not hd1 | 22:35 |
| moglenstar | BlueGene, to hide join/parts, try typing /set *conf* | 22:35 |
| mrjerky | ActionParsnip, should i just change the root section to (hd1,0)? | 22:36 |
| mrjerky | Or would that be (hd0,0)? :S | 22:36 |
| mrjerky | Confused myself! | 22:36 |
| BlueGene | irc_conf_mode................: OFF @ moglenstar | 22:37 |
| Crewsr3 | usser, is there a way to see which network controller is labeled what? One is gigabite and the other is not | 22:37 |
| usser | Crewsr3, hm... did u do any customizations? do u have networkmanger running, it seems your networking was setup manually | 22:37 |
| xbxb | hmm, the more I get used to linux the more I really love it. I'm spoiled by several years of windows. | 22:37 |
| moglenstar | BlueGene, sorry I meant /set *conf* 1 | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mrjerky: id backup the file then edit it, id make a second entry copy of the main boot with the (hd0,0) or whatever | 22:38 |
| Crewsr3 | usser, Not really when it comes to the networkmanager, | 22:38 |
| usser | Crewsr3, by looking at their mac addresses u can tell which one is which | 22:38 |
| mrjerky | Just tried it | 22:38 |

| Gin | yay! Adobe fixed the menu overlapping problem :-) | 22:38 |

| Jack_Sparrow | BlueGene do you have channels listed on the left of this screen? | 22:40 |

| dr_willis | talas, thats often very window manager specific. I do belive compiz has some settings to tweak that. Not sure about metacity | 22:56 |
| grim76 | talas: you can use mouse over focus from the window preferences dialog. | 22:56 |

| Flannel | belkinhelp2: The command line box thing below that apparently gives you the commands to do that. | 23:21 |

| OdnsRvns | wine isnt that good | 23:23 |
| OdnsRvns | ive tried | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | OdnsRvns: it is if you configure it properly | 23:24 |
| Dr_Linux | i can back that up ^^ | 23:24 |
| patchon | Flannel:, but thats my case here... | 23:24 |
| anars | sure is one of the best alternatives out there. | 23:24 |
| OdnsRvns | my css is laggy | 23:24 |

| Ginreoh | odns: it's like wine but for games and you pay for it | 23:25 |
| OdnsRvns | yea doesnt help | 23:25 |
| OdnsRvns | how much | 23:25 |
| unop | patchon, think about this - if a user creates files in your directory and is no longer available to delete them later, you are stuck with files you don't want - you must have full control over your directories - because they are _yours_ | 23:25 |
| Ginreoh | odns: 30$ i think | 23:25 |

| ActionParsnip | demontager: i use both. Its good to try it man, see if you like it more | 23:28 |
| talas | dr_willis: i had compiz, apparently | 23:28 |

| ActionParsnip | demontager: id try a tonne of distros | 23:28 |
| talas | downloading advanced desktop effects settings, you can modify auto-raise | 23:28 |
| talas | if you are a developer, i recommend removing raise-on-click feature =p | 23:28 |
| demontager | so what the distro for you more suitable? | 23:29 |
| xxploit | ubuntu or some thing based on debian =) | 23:29 |

| ubuntudebug | ok so I've replaced the cdrom drive and I've replaced the cdrom | 23:36 |
| ubuntudebug | it's just unable to mount anything on boot | 23:36 |

| yigal | koshari: don't really have a preference | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | demontager: yes, its just a 64bit chip like the intel | 23:37 |
| odinsbane | I just want to cancel them because I am not on the network now. | 23:37 |
| Flannel | Elijah: That's offtopic for this channel, you might try #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:37 |
| koshari | you have compiz running however? | 23:37 |
| yigal | xxploit: right, I'm used to using xinit with tiling window managers, I'm not giving up as it's taking a bit longer that reasonable to load gnome | 23:38 |
| yigal | and I think that can be fixed | 23:38 |
| raistlinmaje7 | how can I mount a separate partition on top of an existing folder (/bin for example) and have all new files written onto the new partition, but have the changes to the existing files written to the original partition, and still have files on both partitions accessible?" | 23:38 |

| ActionParsnip | yigal: seach Replace KDE's window manager on startup | 23:41 |
| unop | patchon, chgrp the directory to the group holding all those folders - and chmod g+s the folder - that way, any files created are owned by the group - and thereby, all users in the group inherit the group permissions on the directory. | 23:41 |
| xxploit | yigal, i think youd have better luck using fbpanel(or theres like 2 others, one of them is really descent forget which it is though) then using a background setter think maybe the one im thinking of is hsetroot? then loading compiz. So the xinit would be load background/load panel/init compiz | 23:41 |

| carol | ok thanx | 23:43 |
| raistlinmaje7 | but I would prefer that when the OS needs to read something that was originally on the physical hard disk, it could fetch it off of the hard disk | 23:43 |
| vonderer | yigal: thanks | 23:43 |
| carol | i tried to patch my intel 2200 wifi card drivers for packet injection | 23:43 |
| carol | but now the card is no more recognized by iwconfig | 23:43 |

| ActionParsnip | carol: did you backup the file before patching? | 23:44 |
| carol | of what? | 23:44 |
| carol | no | 23:44 |
| carol | i didnt back up | 23:44 |
| raistlinmaje7 | so, how do I mount a partition on top of an existing folder, and have the OS figure out to read/write new files to the mounted partition, but to read/write the existing files to the hard drive? | 23:44 |
| carol | it compiled the kernel and commented out something but i have no clues anymore | 23:44 |
| Mike_00 | ActionParsnip: Would that let me run Ubuntu in a window while in XP? | 23:44 |
| SeligArkin | Hey how do i tell bluez to run a shell script to get the pin, as my bt keyboard gives up if not given th ekey fast enough | 23:44 |
| Flannel | raistlinmaje7: you don't. You'll need to move the full contents of that folder onto the new partition | 23:44 |
| carol | i thought i could just reinstall the old situation because the card was working out of the box after installation of 8.04 | 23:44 |
| SeligArkin | i am hoping if i tell it the same pin as in windows it will work | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Daft_Punk: glipper | 23:45 |
| carol | i know i am a moron | 23:45 |
| raistlinmaje7 | Flannel: that can't be, the live CD can figure out to write new things to RAM, but read existing things off of the cd | 23:45 |
| odinsbane | carol did you try ifconfig ? | 23:45 |
| vipaca | I need a better movie player n e suggestions? | 23:45 |
| carol | how? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Mike_00: yes, it'll appear in add remove programs | 23:45 |
| Flannel | raistlinmaje7: Not quite, no. That's more like a RAM vs HD thing. Yours is a HD vs HD thing. | 23:46 |
| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, thx | 23:46 |

| odinsbane | carol so then type sudo ifconfig eth1 up | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vipaca: mplayer is my personal suggestion | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Daps: apache | 23:46 |
| carol | and? | 23:46 |
| carol | (coz i have to change the hard disk and reboot and do it offline) | 23:47 |
| Daps | is that in the server edition of Ubuntu and can i install the server edition while running the desktop edition? | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Daps np | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | no | 23:47 |
| Mike_00 | ActionParsnip, It's asking me for a password on the installer. Yet I don't have one for my user account. | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Daps: its the same thing, just install apache and you can host | 23:47 |
| shane7 | hey everyone, if I move background images (*.jpg) to /usr/share/background/ why don't they show up for all users? do I need to reboot? | 23:47 |
| raistlinmaje7 | Mike_00: that's a bad idea, set a user password | 23:47 |
| odinsbane | carol so you can't try that right now? | 23:47 |
| carol | no | 23:48 |
| Daps | ok thanks | 23:48 |
| patchon | unop: thanks again | 23:48 |
| raistlinmaje7 | shane7: probably not, you may just have to re-start gnome | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Mike_00: never seen that, id check guides for wubi | 23:48 |
| carol | no odin | 23:48 |
| shane7 | raistlinmaje7: but that should do it then right? | 23:48 |
| odinsbane | carol so what are you using to get files from? | 23:48 |
| raistlinmaje7 | shane7: probably | 23:48 |
| odinsbane | carol I mean ubuntu distribution files? | 23:48 |
| carol | i dont know.. i thought it was on the cd | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Mike_00: id listen to raistlinmaje7, ive not used wubi myself | 23:48 |
| shane7 | raistlinmaje7: ok, thanks, I was hoping that was the reason, but been to busy to log out and back in. :) | 23:49 |
| carol | actually i dont have the dvd anymore i would like to extract them from the iso on my desktop | 23:49 |
| odinsbane | carol thats fine, I would say first go and look for the drivers in your package manager | 23:49 |
| Daps | sudo apt-get install apache, does not work, do i have to use a website? | 23:49 |
| jpowermacg4 | anyone know about hybserv? | 23:49 |
| Commie_Cary | how come whenever I install the ATI drivers on ubuntu it forces the entire graphics system to crash and I am forced into low graphics mode | 23:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Daps: try tab completing | 23:49 |
| carol | ok odin.. what should i look for?..and then.. if it wants to download them? | 23:50 |
| Flannel | Daps: that page will get you all set up | 23:50 |
| Daps | thanks Flannel | 23:50 |
| carol | should i add in the repositories the .iso image? | 23:50 |
| carol | possible? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Daps: you can tab complete package names just like in comand line and irc | 23:50 |
| Elijah | Flannel: thanks | 23:50 |
| Kolma | are there any sites for streaming videos that are really good for ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| Daps | Action: thanks | 23:50 |
| odinsbane | carol, I don't know what drivers you used, the ifconfig command will turn your wireless card back on if you somehow disabled it. But if you need to reinstall the drivers I would open up synaptic and search for wireless drivers. | 23:51 |
| Kolma | or a program that i can use to stream | 23:51 |
