| LimCore | ESSID is what? is it the same as SSID for example "homefoo" (if "homefoo" is set by AP) | 00:12 |

| maestrojed | I need to boot up as root at a shell prompt. From what I see I need to hold ESC during a reboot but I have tried that. Is that correct? When do I hold ESC? | 00:16 |
| pan_ | how do i uninstal something i can't find in synaptic? | 00:16 |
| xomp | pan_, I like "sudo apt-get remove <packagename>" | 00:17 |
| anars | LimCore: depends on what wlan network adapter your laptop has. since you described as being an Intel laptop, you probably won't be needing it. | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pan_: sudo apt-get remove <appname> | 00:17 |
| anars | Execute lspci and check it out. | 00:17 |
| Scunizi | tim167: sudo apt-get install imagemagick.. then cd to the directory location of the image(s) and try it on one to see what happens.. convert <filename.psd> <newfilename.jpg> .. if they are multi layered images it will break them apart but there is a way to keep them together. | 00:18 |
| Tree | maestrojed: most installs prompt for grub where you press esc - then you can get a root shell from there | 00:18 |
| LimCore | anars: if my wireless shows in ifconfig -a as wlan0 then it means that kernel knows how to use it right? or not always? | 00:18 |
| tim167 | Scunizi: oh i see, actually i wanted the layers on top of eachother just like they appear when opened in Gimp | 00:18 |

| anars | LimCore: then you're most likely good to go :-) | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | CartoonCat: i think it uses the "ati" driver | 00:19 |
| anars | LimCore: don't worry about driver issues then. concentrate on configuration of wlan0 | 00:19 |
| maestrojed | Tree: what do you mean by grub? | 00:19 |
| CartoonCat | ActionParsnip, yea i have that configured.... | 00:19 |
| Tulimaq | LimCore, which card ? | 00:19 |
| tim167 | Scunizi: (i started convert *.psd *.jpg, its still running now, will see what comes out...) | 00:20 |
| Scunizi | tim167: read the link that has the threaded conversation.. they mention how to do it with convert towards the bottom.. it's an additional command to give convert prior to the file names.. It will "squish" the layers together as they are. | 00:20 |

| tim167 | Scunizi: very cool indeed :) will check | 00:20 |
| odinsbane | woli but if you want python for cgi scripting and such, you don't actually need mod_python. | 00:21 |

| smm289 | om im impatient, going to re-loggin, be back if it doesn;t work | 00:48 |
| weatherkid | Jack_Sparrow can i PM you? | 00:48 |
| NickRead | sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 00:48 |
| Tulimaq | smm289: kernel module is a separate package for OSE version u need to install it i think | 00:49 |

| CartoonCat | haydn, dmesg is a start, /var/log/ another | 00:53 |
| smm289 | Ok, everything is setup for my XP VM under Ubuntu Hardy, I used VirtualBox OSE to set it up. However when I click on the start button I get an error saying my Kernal Driver is not installed, I just did a reboot and it did not work, any ideas ? | 00:54 |
| Arney | i like turtles | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Goran_: no, you'll just have old versions in your database | 00:54 |
| NickRead | smm289: Does /etc/init.d/vboxdrv exist? | 00:54 |
| smm289 | i have no idea | 00:55 |
| smm289 | let me look | 00:55 |
| haydn | CartoonCat: Is there a place that logs my startup dialogue, I've noticed a number of errors as the system loads | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Goran_: just run sudo apt-get update once every now and again and you're ok | 00:55 |
| smm289 | yep vboxdrv is there | 00:56 |
| NickRead | smm289: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 00:56 |
| tripitakit | I like Xmonad much more than metacity or compiz! | 00:56 |
| NickRead | smm289: This rebuilds the kernel module for Virtual Box and installs it in your kernel | 00:56 |
| smm289 | it gave me a line of text and then dropped me back to a CLI | 00:57 |
| smm289 | thats it ? | 00:57 |
| NickRead | What was the text? | 00:57 |
| smm289 | Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status} | 00:57 |
| smokewon | i conqured samba last night, took 6 hours, but i got it | 00:57 |
| Goran_ | thx | 00:58 |
| tripitakit | well done smokewon | 00:58 |
| weatherkid | CartoonCat I opened my .wine directory and it didnt give me an e: option | 00:58 |
| smm289 | Nick: used the Status extention and I get " Kernel module is not loaded" | 00:58 |
| NickRead | Hrmm... | 00:59 |
| tripitakit | i did it with xmonad integrated in gnome .. took all the night | 00:59 |
| smm289 | tried restart and it says " No suitable module for running kernel found" | 00:59 |
| tripitakit | and now i have an amazinw tiling window manager inside my gnome box | 00:59 |
| smm289 | should I uninstall VirtualBox OSE and then re-install it again | 01:00 |
| venger | is there a apt key for launchpad.net? | 01:00 |
| NickRead | It should say when running "setup": Removing old VirtualBox kernel module, then Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, | 01:01 |
| weatherkid | CartoonCat can I PM you? | 01:01 |
| abbot | i'm having a problem with an 8.04 install on a new dell machine. i've tried 3 different burns and i get errors like this when i try to start the install. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2876626155_4cc076c6a7.jpg | 01:02 |
| NickRead | smm289: Did you install it fro the Ubuntu repo? If so, it should have setup the kernel driver for you automatically. In this case, maybe a quick reinstall would be your best option. | 01:02 |
| smm289 | yes I used the Add/remove to install VirtualBox OSE | 01:03 |
| NickRead | Hardy? | 01:03 |
| smm289 | 8.04 | 01:03 |
| smm289 | yes Hardy | 01:03 |
| smm289 | well i will give that a try later, thanks | 01:04 |
| abbot | can someone help? i'd really like to get ubuntu on this new machine. this old one is super slow and windows blows. | 01:04 |
| alphamale1 | in proftpd how do i change the logout time? it seems like if im not transfering something or doing something within 20 seconds it logs out | 01:04 |
| NickRead | What was the output of using "setup" rather than 'status' or 'restart' | 01:04 |
| smm289 | setup did not do anything | 01:04 |
| smm289 | it just gave me a usage line | 01:04 |
| tripitakit | what kind of help abbot? | 01:04 |

| NickRead | Hrmm... maybe it's a difference between the Ubuntu OSE version, and the Sun 2.0 version I'm running now | 01:05 |
| smm289 | i will try to re-install, see how that works | 01:05 |
| smm289 | thanks for your time | 01:05 |
| tripitakit | abbot : never encountered that kind of error.. | 01:06 |
| tripitakit | which model of Dell... ? | 01:07 |
| abbot | i get the same thing if i choose install or check disc for errors | 01:07 |
| koshari | abbot have you tried 8.04.1? | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | tim167: so.. what happened.. did you get it to work? | 01:07 |
| koshari | i had that error the other day on a acer one using a 8.04 disc but an 8.04.1 worked | 01:07 |
| abbot | where's that | 01:08 |
| koshari | abbot its the latest downlaodable iso, you may have it if you had downlaoded recently, the 8.04 was the first release of LTs | 01:09 |
| even | hi, ufw doesnt work! i add a lot of rules and nothing are blocked! why? | 01:09 |
| abbot | koshari: in that case, i've already tried it. | 01:09 |
| LimCore | hmmmm | 01:09 |
| alphamale1 | wow, why do i never get responce on ubuntu? why do i usualy getit at linux | 01:09 |
| LimCore | for intel 64 bit CPU - which distro I get, i386, or amd64, or.. ? | 01:09 |
| fallore | is there a specific command/method to use the terminal to create a backup of a file? | 01:09 |
| falstaff | Is there a way to remove the kubuntu partition I just installed? | 01:10 |
| QS | LimCore: amd64 | 01:10 |
| xbxb | LimCore: amd64, if you want. | 01:10 |
| LimCore | so.. amd64 is for INTEL 64... ok cool =) | 01:10 |
| alphamale1 | andaconda 3 SUCKS! | 01:10 |
| QS | LimCore: would it be better if they'd call it amd64-em64t? :) | 01:11 |
| falstaff | I installed kubuntu and I hate it ... How do I get it off my system? | 01:11 |
| omegachicken64 | why amd64 for an intel 64 CPU? | 01:11 |
| Scunizi | smm289: you'd be better off installing the version from vbox's site.. then for the kernel error look in System/Admin/Synaptic Package Manager .. search for virtualbox and you'll see the kernel file | 01:11 |
| xbxb | omegachicken64: because AMD invented em64t | 01:11 |
| tripitakit__ | sudo apt-get remove kde-desktop i guess | 01:11 |
| omegachicken64 | xbxb: oh ok, thanks | 01:12 |
| labuser | Should call it x64 just to avoid this question :) | 01:12 |
| maxagaz | hi | 01:12 |
| lolmac | hi, maxagaz | 01:12 |
| xbxb | omegachicken64: well, em64t is the intel name for it | 01:12 |
| LimCore | falstaff: by installing something else, like a Mojave (lol) over it | 01:12 |
| xbxb | omegachicken64: amd invented x86-64, and intel copied it and named it em64t | 01:12 |
| unop | falstaff, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 01:12 |
| maxagaz | where can I download the iso of ubuntu remix to install it on a usb key ? | 01:12 |
| omegachicken64 | xbxb: so it's the same distro? just a different name? | 01:12 |
| LimCore | sound recording doesnt work on my laptop. can you help? | 01:13 |
| xbxb | omegachicken64: same distro as what? I was talking about CPUs here, not distros | 01:13 |
| unop | LimCore, please take this seriously - he might just follow your instructions and be distraught later | 01:13 |
| tripitakit__ | i suggest gnome+xmonad :) | 01:13 |
| genius | !nvidia | 01:14 |
| omegachicken64 | xbxb: oh, so x86-64 and em64t are the amd/intel names for the processors? | 01:14 |
| abbot | this is a brand new box. it should work. could it be incompatable hardware? its a dell machine that came with FreeDOS | 01:14 |
| xbxb | omegachicken64: for the instruction sets of their 64 bit processors, yes. | 01:14 |
| thomaskkkk | hi | 01:14 |
| lolmac | hi, thomaskkkk | 01:14 |

| genius | Hi. i've got desktop with Nvidia 8400GS. Nvidia opensource driver worked OK but when i installed Envy it does not work and fallback to safe mode. What's wrong? | 01:15 |
| tripitakit__ | i found xmonad perfectly fitting in gnome and the couple is really amazing | 01:16 |
| NickRead | Hrmm... may have to investigate | 01:16 |
| Goran_ | nvidia oss driver is glitchy | 01:16 |
| NickRead | I've always liked the idea of tiling managers, but never got around to using any of them | 01:16 |
| tripitakit__ | well i had to get the backports form debian etch ... | 01:17 |
| tripitakit__ | cause hardy has xmonad 0.6 and i coudnt make it work with gnome | 01:17 |
| koshari | Goran_ they have an OSS driver? | 01:17 |
| tripitakit__ | the debian etch backports are 0.8-1 | 01:17 |

| danopia | opps? | 01:20 |
| labuser | The default nvidia driver seems to work better for me... Flash videos lag when I use the closed source one | 01:20 |
| unop | Yhapster, enable the medibuntu repos - then install acroread | 01:20 |
| wall | can I install ubuntu alternate by Wubi? or must use ubuntu-desktop | 01:20 |
| unop | Yhapster, or alternatively, there is xpdf which will read PDF files | 01:20 |
| Yhapster | unop: ok, that's what I thought, thanks | 01:20 |
| Yhapster | unop: i have a passport application that needs to be filled in, that's why | 01:20 |
| unop | Yhapster, acroread it is then | 01:21 |
| labuser | Ubuntu even automatically detects my printer now <3 | 01:21 |
| Yhapster | unop: thanks :D | 01:21 |
| Ward1983 | at the very end of all the questions before the installer starts copying, you can clikc advanced and specify where to install grub, but how do i know for sure what i need to enter there? | 01:21 |

| Mr_Fixit | if i partitioned a new drive.... how do i mount it? | 01:43 |
| Kolma | wait i can install hardy off a usb flash drive? | 01:43 |
| Detrix42 | also I want to switch to the KDE window manager. I believe I have installed it through the synaptic package manager, off of a Unbuntu live DVD. now how do I switch it from Gnome to KDE??? | 01:43 |
| Slokunshialgo | Kolma: How old is that machine? | 01:43 |
| Guest26626 | i want to instal on my ubuntu machine XP also ... so ei if got gpartet livecd and have a free partion but after XP install how can reinit the grub and MBR to got ubuntu and XP in grub? | 01:43 |
| liveguy81 | Yes you can. | 01:43 |
| Kolma | i have no idea D: | 01:43 |
| liveguy81 | It works really well. | 01:43 |
| Kolma | i just bought it recently for 20 bucks xD' | 01:43 |
| kris-amroth | Anyone good with MythTV here? | 01:43 |
| case^ | Mr_Fixit: gparted can mount your new partition | 01:43 |
| tripitakit | isnt there an Instal icon liveguy? | 01:44 |
| kris-amroth | I need advice on a capture card | 01:44 |
| Slokunshialgo | Cause I just looked it up, and I'm seeing references to Linux 2.2.somehting | 01:44 |
| kitche | !grub | Guest26626 | 01:44 |
| Kolma | the motherboard is BE-6 | 01:44 |
| eugenio | quit | 01:44 |
| liveguy81 | Yes, there is. | 01:44 |
| kitche | hmm bot must have died ...... | 01:44 |
| Kolma | by abit | 01:44 |
| kitche | or lagging | 01:44 |
| liveguy81 | Here's the story.... | 01:44 |
| Guest26626 | ok | 01:44 |
| Kolma | where can i download hardy so i can install off a flash drive? | 01:44 |
| Slokunshialgo | I've been using 2.4+ for about 4 years now, only ever seen one box using a 2.2 kernel | 01:44 |
| djbender | did ubuntuforums.org just crash? | 01:44 |
| djbender | nvm, back up | 01:44 |
| Silverblaze | -.- | 01:44 |
| kitche | genius: recompile the kernel of course | 01:45 |
| liveguy81 | I messed up an XP install. I have two HDD. The main drive is the one I screwed up. It's not damaged, but I have to reformat. I had to use Ubuntu running from a flash drive to do that. (I just did, don't ask why.) I have a second hard drive that has a backup of all of my data. | 01:46 |
| EvilDaemon | djbender: It's from server overload, happened earlier. | 01:46 |
| liveguy81 | More's coming... | 01:46 |
| Slokunshialgo | Mr_Fixit: You can use the mount command as a temporary thing, or edit your /etc/fstab file to give it a "permanent" mount point | 01:46 |
| djbender | evildaemon, okie | 01:46 |
| djbender | thx | 01:46 |
| tripitakit | Kolma: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ | 01:46 |
| case^ | Slokunshialgo: using mount command creates a static mount anyway | 01:47 |
| Mr_Fixit | well gparted doesn't have the mount option.. and unmount is greyed out.. | 01:47 |
| Kolma | awesome | 01:47 |
| Detrix42 | I want to switch to the KDE window manager. I believe I have installed it through the synaptic package manager, off of a Unbuntu live DVD. now how do I switch it from Gnome to KDE??? | 01:47 |
| Slokunshialgo | case^: Doesn't it only mount it until the system reboots? | 01:47 |
| Mr_Fixit | /etc/fstab what do i throw in there? | 01:47 |
| Kolma | so ill just save my /home to other drive and put those on flash drive and i can install now? | 01:47 |
| case^ | nope - creates a mount point which it re-uses | 01:47 |
| kitche | Detrix42: pick the kde session on gdm/kdm | 01:47 |
| Silverblaze | 01:47 | |
| Silverblaze | 01:47 | |
| Silverblaze | 01:47 | |
| FloodBot3 | Silverblaze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:47 |
| liveguy81 | I resized my partition on the second HDD so I could slap Hardy on the end of the drive. I remembered how much I liked Linux and decided I wanted to keep an actual install on my HDD. | 01:47 |
| Slokunshialgo | Never seen it do that | 01:47 |
| liveguy81 | Anyhow.... | 01:47 |
| case^ | doing it right now on my system | 01:48 |
| genius | kitche: can you point some article with the easiest way :) | 01:48 |
| Daps | i have installed apache2 and loaded a website onto /var/www How can i make this visible to someone outside of my home network ? | 01:48 |
| Detrix42 | I check there, but the KDE Option is not there (yet) | 01:48 |
| kitche | genius: not really but I do believe the wiki on ubuntu.com actually has what your looking for | 01:48 |
| case^ | Daps: dyndns is your friend | 01:48 |
| Slokunshialgo | Daps: Tell your router to redirect port 80 to your computer | 01:48 |
| liveguy81 | The resize is going to be about 4 more hours and I can't reboot without possibly screwing up my only copy of some very precious data. | 01:48 |
| kitche | genius: see the bot is down it seems so I can't use that to point you to it | 01:48 |
| Daps | how do i tell it to do that? | 01:48 |
| zer0ne | I'm having a problem with Compiz when it generates child-windows for file browsing.. Say for example I click the browse button when choosing which wallpaper to use as my background - the window is created way too high on the screen (negative y co-ordinate) and I have to click my taskbar to see it, then drag it down | 01:48 |
| Slokunshialgo | Depends on the router | 01:49 |
| case^ | Daps: static IP routing normally | 01:49 |
| Slokunshialgo | DLink is usually under the "Advanced" tab in the router management page | 01:49 |
| genius | kitche: the wiki says that i should not do it without real need | 01:49 |
| Xtasiado | hola | 01:49 |
| liveguy81 | I was trying to just surf the net and such, but I can't seem to install any plugins or updates. So (for example) I could watch flash video. | 01:49 |
| Xtasiado | alguien ke sepa usar telnet? | 01:49 |
| Daps | case^: i don't know how to go about doing that, can you give me some instruction? | 01:49 |
| case^ | Slokunshialgo: actually I'm not as sure about mount being permanent | 01:49 |
| Xtasiado | y alguien que me ayude para instalar hardy | 01:49 |
| liveguy81 | So, that is why I wanted to figure out how to install new additions to a running "live cd" - since it is actually a flash drive and not a cd. I figured that I would be able to update it just like a full install. | 01:50 |
| kitche | genius: well you shouldn't really most of the advance people just give up anymore unless they need support for something | 01:50 |

| lolmac | hi, imura | 01:51 |
| swansk | chown???? | 01:51 |
| lolmac | hi, _alejo_ | 01:51 |
| liveguy81 | Hmmm....any masters of the terminal want to help me with this one? | 01:51 |
| fyrestrtr | swansk: what do you mean you can't manipulate it? | 01:51 |
| Detrix42 | exit | 01:51 |
| swansk | like rename it or delete it. | 01:51 |
| case^ | Daps: it's not something I can walk you through | 01:51 |
| fyrestrtr | swansk: check the permissions. | 01:51 |
| zer0ne | swansk: use chown to change your file permissions | 01:51 |
| zer0ne | ls -l | 01:51 |
| bobertdos | Xtasiado: Venga a #ubuntu-es, por favor. Yo no se mucho sobre telnet, pero puedo ayudarlo instalar. | 01:51 |
| tripitakit | _alejo_ why not trying in a matlab channel? | 01:51 |
| zer0ne | err nm | 01:52 |
| Slokunshialgo | liveguy81: Does it have a full filesystem on the flash drive, or does it expand files into memory? | 01:52 |
| Daps | is there a website with instructions? | 01:52 |
| swansk | I know chown, but the folder name is not English, it's Korean. | 01:52 |
| zer0ne | cut and paste? | 01:52 |
| liveguy81 | Actually, I'm not sure. It appears to have a fully file system. | 01:52 |
| unop | swansk, tab-complete | 01:52 |
| imura | does matlab have help | 01:52 |
| _alejo_ | tripitakit: got no response there | 01:52 |
| swansk | I don't know the first char | 01:52 |
| swansk | :) | 01:52 |
| zer0ne | hrm | 01:52 |
| zer0ne | you can't copy paste the first char in terminal? | 01:52 |
| tripitakit | here is harder then | 01:52 |
| case^ | Daps: start here http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/how-to-set-up-a-personal-home-web-server-124212.php | 01:52 |
| Daps | thanks | 01:53 |
| * Slokunshialgo has seen files with no name... They're hard to get rid of | 01:53 | |
| swansk | ok, sudo chown username folder ??? | 01:53 |
| tripitakit | is it a code problem? | 01:53 |
| swansk | I'll try copy and paste | 01:53 |
| * imura is away: gone to sleep | 01:53 | |
| liveguy81 | I am trying to remember the name of the program I used with the live cd iso to convert my flash drive into a live boot Ubuntu. | 01:53 |
| SeaPhor | swansk, can you chown/chmod the parent directory? | 01:54 |

| liveguy81 | I was googling for it, but to no avail so far. | 01:54 |
| Infinito- | Daps, get you router brand and model, and google for a configuration manual | 01:54 |
| PostersandGuitar | Hello, my hard drives have disappeared and when I attempt to open "computer" it says nautilus can't handle computer:locations | 01:54 |
| lolmac | hi, PostersandGuitar | 01:54 |
| PostersandGuitar | Help? | 01:54 |
| bobertdos | !usb > liveguy81 | 01:54 |
| liveguy81 | Lol. | 01:55 |
| liveguy81 | Yes. | 01:55 |
| swansk | I already control "Public"?? | 01:55 |
| kitche | bobertdos: the bot is gone right now it seems | 01:55 |
| liveguy81 | USB has completely kicked in my face with its greatness. | 01:55 |
| fyrestrtr | Kung-Fu USB FTW | 01:55 |
| liveguy81 | Unfortunately it seems to be the case. | 01:55 |
| PostersandGuitar | ? | 01:56 |
| PostersandGuitar | Can someone help me? | 01:56 |
| tripitakit | PostersandGuitar: checked with ls /media | 01:56 |
| tripitakit | ? | 01:56 |
| swansk | SeaPhor : Let me work on that | 01:56 |
| PostersandGuitar | hang on, let me see | 01:56 |
| bobertdos | kitchie: apparently. You can easily find it in the wiki yourself, liveguy81 | 01:56 |
| liveguy81 | It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have to wait for four more hours before I'm able to interact with ye old net again. | 01:56 |
| PostersandGuitar | not listed on ls /media | 01:56 |
| Daps | What are the security risks of opening up port 80 to the internet while running Ubuntu 8.0 ?? | 01:56 |
| PostersandGuitar | it could always find it until now | 01:56 |
| liveguy81 | Oh really? | 01:57 |
| tripitakit | but u booted dont u? | 01:57 |
| PostersandGuitar | Yes. | 01:57 |
| NickRead | Depends what you're going to bind to port 80 | 01:57 |
| fyrestrtr | Daps: none, if you don't install anything that listens on it. | 01:57 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Are you having trouble with an NTFS autmount? | 01:57 |
| fallore | tomboy notes won't open or do anything at all when i try to open it from the apps menu | 01:57 |
| PostersandGuitar | Yes, I can't find the NTFS to mount to. Or the linux to mount to | 01:57 |
| demontager | If i choose KDE desktop while installing Ubuntu 8.04, that means it will like Kubuntu? | 01:57 |
| usser | Daps, theoretically, unless you run a webserver or any other application that listens on this port none | 01:57 |
| Daps | fyrestrtr: anything that listens ??? | 01:57 |
| fyrestrtr | Daps: yes, like a server process. | 01:58 |
| tripitakit | tryed with sudo umount -a ? | 01:58 |
| Daps | i installed apache2 | 01:58 |
| tripitakit | sory | 01:58 |
| tripitakit | sudo mount -a | 01:58 |
| tripitakit | :D | 01:58 |
| tjay | Has anyone ever used "Gyach Py! Voice Chat" before? I need help, it's not able to recognize an installed Lib . . . | 01:58 |
| kitche | Daps: well theorically it's already open :) | 01:58 |
| NickRead | Daps: Apache is pretty secure by default, unless you have changed the configurations | 01:58 |
| PostersandGuitar | no change | 01:58 |
| Daps | haven't changed a thing, this is my 3rd day using linux.. i'm pretty green | 01:59 |
| tripitakit | can u cd .. form your ~ | 01:59 |
| case^ | Daps: tbh I would get to learn the basics first before trying this | 01:59 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Did you exit Windows cleanly the last time? | 01:59 |
| PostersandGuitar | Triptakit: Can you be more clear? | 01:59 |
| PostersandGuitar | Bobertdos: Yes | 01:59 |
| Daps | so i want to take the precautions as i learn... i have an index file in /var/www and can see it from my browser on my localhost address.. but i want to see it from outside | 01:59 |
| fallore | bah everything is just breaking | 02:00 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: and it's not listed in fdisk? | 02:00 |
| PostersandGuitar | However, I didn't the previous time, it got an error when mounting. So I restarted itno windows, cleanly exited, and now it's gone | 02:00 |
| tjay | I'm trying to use a program, but it won't start saying I don't have the "XML Parser for C" installed, BUT I DO . . . help? | 02:00 |
| tripitakit | i mean if u cd .. form your home dir u can go up to the root (/) dont you? | 02:00 |
| MaleXachi | Hello | 02:00 |
| lolmac | hi, MaleXachi | 02:00 |
| Daps | case^: i'm not doing so bad so far, i have connected to all my other windows based machines on my network and even started running mediatomb ;) | 02:00 |
| PostersandGuitar | It appears to be listed in fdisk | 02:00 |
| tripitakit | (form is my way to spell from, sorry) | 02:00 |
| PostersandGuitar | -l | 02:00 |
| Daps | with help from folks like you of course ;) | 02:01 |
| MaleXachi | Hoi lolmac | 02:01 |
| zer0ne | exit | 02:01 |
| zer0ne | err | 02:01 |
| tripitakit | so it is your ntfs partition u cant see ... ? | 02:01 |
| PostersandGuitar | im in root | 02:01 |
| SeaPhor | swansk, try sudo chown -R user:group /path/to/parent/dir/ then sudo chmod -R 770 /path/to/parent/dir | 02:01 |
| kitche | tripitakit: no it goes to /home but you keep doing cd .. and you will | 02:01 |
| demontager | If i choose KDE desktop while installing Ubuntu 8.04, that means it will like Kubuntu? | 02:01 |
| PostersandGuitar | I can't see any partitions, except in fdisk | 02:01 |
| NickRead | Daps: That's probably fine then. Static pages should be fine. If you step into running PHP or other CGI programs, be careful! | 02:01 |
| PostersandGuitar | I'm at home, in root | 02:01 |
| tjay | I'm trying to use a program, but it won't start saying I don't have the "XML Parser for C" installed, BUT I DO . . . help? | 02:02 |
| case^ | Daps: don't get me wrong - this install is only 3 days old as well. NickReads comment is what I was getting at | 02:02 |
| MaleXachi | I have a question .......... What Linux can be best to start? Suse 10 or unbuntu 8.04? | 02:02 |
| cornbread | Hey guys, for some reason xmonad doesn't start on ubuntu hardy, anyone know about something like this? | 02:02 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Maybe fstab got corrupted. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 02:02 |
| PostersandGuitar | i'm at / | 02:02 |
| Daps | NickRead: problem is i won't know if i step into a danger zone, but thanks for the heads up | 02:02 |
| Odd-rationale | MaleXachi: of course ubuntu.... but we're biased here... :P | 02:02 |
| Slokunshialgo | MaleXachi: Ubuntu | 02:02 |
| PostersandGuitar | bobertdos: did it | 02:02 |
| Slokunshialgo | MaleXachi: Used both, found Ubuntu a lot easier to use | 02:02 |
| PostersandGuitar | no change | 02:03 |
| MaleXachi | Hmzz okay | 02:03 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Please pastebin the content of the file. | 02:03 |
| fallore | everything is frozen up and the shutdown/reboot button in the top right corner isn't doing anything. should i just press the restart button on my PC or what? | 02:03 |
| Daps | case^: not only the install is 3 days old, my exposure to linux is 3 days old... :D but i | 02:03 |

| le_mischa | fallore: strg + alt + backslash | 02:03 |
| abaddon3k | i was wondering if anyone could help me. i just cleanly installed ubuntu and the username/password i gave at startup wont work. tells me that it is incorrect. i have tried reinstalling many times but i get the same error | 02:03 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Pastebin. paste.ubuntu.com | 02:03 |
| tripitakit | fallore: in a terminal: sudo shutdown -r now | 02:04 |
| NickRead | Daps: There is always a risk when you make a service available on your server. I'd restrict it to your own network until you are sure what's going on. | 02:04 |
| le_mischa | grml | 02:04 |
| le_mischa | backspace | 02:04 |
| PostersandGuitar | hang on | 02:04 |
| kitche | PostersandGuitar: also if you want to paste something without opening up a browser you can look at pastebinit to auto paste a file to a pastebin | 02:04 |
| Slokunshialgo | le_mischa: strg ? | 02:04 |
| Daps | ok so if i wanted to tell a friend im another city to open my site, where would i send him? http:// what address and how do i get that address, whats teh process ? | 02:04 |
| PostersandGuitar | pastebinned | 02:04 |
| le_mischa | ... | 02:04 |
| le_mischa | ctrl | 02:04 |
| NickRead | You'd need to determine your own IP address | 02:05 |
| Slokunshialgo | :P | 02:05 |
| tripitakit | Daps u need a static IP | 02:05 |
| fyrestrtr | Daps: go register a domain name, point it to the IP address that you get from your ISP. | 02:05 |
| PostersandGuitar | http://paste.ubuntu.com/49127/ | 02:05 |
| Daps | NickRead: ok, so i am assuming it is restricted now as it is only on my localhost.. | 02:05 |
| PostersandGuitar | brb, bathroom | 02:05 |
| le_mischa | 3 beer a day keep the english away.. | 02:05 |
| case^ | Daps: www.dyndns.org | 02:06 |
| NickRead | Daps: Another alternative is DynDNS (or similar providor) | 02:06 |
| PostersandGuitar | back | 02:06 |
| Daps | i purchased a domain name i never got to use about 5 months ago. | 02:06 |
| Daps | thanks case^ | 02:06 |
| PostersandGuitar | so, any suggestions, solutions, placebos? | 02:06 |
| Slokunshialgo | PostersandGuitar: Take 30 aspirin, call the emergency room | 02:06 |
| PostersandGuitar | Er, that makes no sense | 02:07 |
| Slokunshialgo | Placebo | 02:07 |
| kitche | Daps: well if you bought the domain then you still have it unless its though some rip-off domain registration place like my one domain was though | 02:07 |
| Slokunshialgo | You won't remember the problem, thus problem solved | 02:07 |
| Daps | can i do "ifconfig" and then point the domain to the ip in there? | 02:07 |
| PostersandGuitar | People who were helping me? | 02:07 |
| Slokunshialgo | It didn't come out as I meant it | 02:07 |
| kris-amroth | Daps, you mean ipconfig? | 02:07 |
| fyrestrtr | Daps: no, you need to point the domain from the control panel of your domain provider. | 02:07 |
| case^ | Daps: if you try to do 192.168.1.101:8080 nothing will happen | 02:08 |
| PostersandGuitar | Triaptinik, bobertdos, you there? | 02:08 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: As I thought, there is no entry in your fstab for your ntfs partition. | 02:08 |
| nikon | hey I am trying to enable packet forwarding for my mac laptop, running port, which gives me access to terminal linux applications... so I am running dsniff, wiht the whole ARPspoof setup and I have to figure out how to run this command I used to use on my linux box, I want to forward all the traffec into that file... for ARP spoof purposes... echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 02:08 |
| PostersandGuitar | Can I fix that? | 02:08 |
| Strang3r | hi to all | 02:08 |
| Strang3r | can somebody tell me how to get to the file /etc/resolv.conf | 02:09 |
| Strang3r | ? | 02:09 |
| Daps | hmm, this seems to be more complex, thanks for the help.. i will tackle it later | 02:09 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Do you still have it open? | 02:09 |
| jvr | any idea how to get system beep to come from soundcard ? | 02:09 |
| Strang3r | I mean which is the terminal comand ? | 02:09 |
| case^ | Daps: if you get your external IP and correctly add the port to your routers iptables then yes your friend can see it | 02:09 |
| tripitakit | Poster: sudo fdisk -l show them? | 02:09 |
| nikon | how can I do the linux command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on my mac | 02:09 |
| PostersandGuitar | I'll reopen t hang on, can we move to a spearate channel? | 02:09 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: You may PM me if you wish. | 02:09 |
| NickRead | Daps: You're right - it is complex. There's a lot of new things you'll need to learn - take your time and be careful :) | 02:09 |
| abaddon3k | i was wondering if anyone could help me. i just cleanly installed ubuntu and the username/password i gave at startup wont work. tells me that it is incorrect. i have tried reinstalling many times but i get the same error | 02:09 |
| Daps | case^ i have no idea how to do what you just said, but what you said makes sense... i just don't know how to do it | 02:09 |
| case^ | Daps: have fun :) | 02:10 |
| Daps | NickRead: i always thought Linux was safe from viruses and not so hacker prone as Windows... Is that a wrong assumption? | 02:10 |
| === Guest16802 is now known as euud | ||
| Daps | case^: thanks | 02:10 |
| SeaPhor | Strang3r, you can sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf to view,, you can gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf to edit ,,,, | 02:10 |
| nikon | anyone | 02:11 |
| kitche | Daps umm safe from viruses to a point and is hacker prone just like Windows but the main system isn't the thing that usually gets touched | 02:11 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: Do you remake the partitions, or at least format them, every time? | 02:11 |
| nikon | how can I do the linux command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on my mac | 02:11 |
| akwar4u | would any one be willing to help me out geting a game to run? plz | 02:11 |
| jvr | anyone have idea how to get system beep to come from soundcard ? | 02:12 |
| abaddon3k | slokunshialgo: yes. i made sure to redo the partitions everytime | 02:12 |
| Slokunshialgo | jvr: beep, I think | 02:12 |
| fyrestrtr | nikon: the same way you would do it in Linux. On the Mac, just open Terminal, go to root (sudo su -) and do it. | 02:12 |
| jvr | Slokunshialgo: ? | 02:12 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: How old is the drive? | 02:12 |
| Slokunshialgo | jvr: Mistook what you meant, beep makes it come from the PC speaker | 02:12 |
| nikon | it tells me the file cannto be found, I dont have that folder on my computer... how can I get that setup | 02:12 |
| acidx | nikon, there is no equivalent to that command on os x. see man natd. | 02:13 |
| abaddon3k | slokunshialgo: uhh....not more than a couple years. i honestly don't know seeing as i got it out of a scrap'd comp | 02:13 |
| danbh_intrepid | !oem | 02:13 |
| nikon | I beleive I just put it there for dsniff to use, but does it do it on the "darwin ports" program on my mac | 02:13 |
| jvr | Slokunshialgo: ive disabled the pcspkr module its bloody annoying, but what I want is a beep to come from the soundcard, i.e: if im in bitchx via terminal i want to know i've got a privmsg etc. | 02:13 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: If you can peek into the drive (live disk, or soemthing like that) see if the /etc/passwd file exists, and if so, what it contains | 02:14 |
| abaddon3k | slokunshialgo: ok, i | 02:14 |
| abaddon3k | will do that. bbs | 02:14 |
| Slokunshialgo | jvr: I'm lucky in that my computer doesn't even have one... But alas, no, I don't know how to change that | 02:14 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: good luck | 02:14 |
| jvr | fair enough. | 02:15 |
| jvr | so the package beep is not what i need | 02:15 |
| Hydrant | I have some packages (binaries, e.g. VTune and CUDA) which require Ubuntu 7.04.... I'm not sure how forward-compatible these types of packages are... anyone have experience with them ? | 02:15 |
| fyrestrtr | Hydrant: check backports | 02:15 |
| liveguy81 | Does anyone know if there is a reliable way to write to NTFS from Ubuntu yet? | 02:15 |
| petar | Hi how can I install new hardware in Ubuntu ? I have a capture card which is recognized during installation but can't be recognized if it is added after | 02:15 |
| fyrestrtr | liveguy81: yes. | 02:15 |
| c4st0r | hello what version of ubuntu recommended me? | 02:16 |
| lolmac | hi, c4st0r | 02:16 |
| monotoko | 8.04 | 02:16 |
| kitche | liveguy81: umm ntfs-3g is the only "reliable" way | 02:16 |
| c4st0r | ok thnks | 02:16 |
| liveguy81 | Fyrestrtr: how do I do that? | 02:16 |
| fyrestrtr | c4st0r: 8.04.1 | 02:16 |
| liveguy81 | Oh. | 02:16 |
| liveguy81 | Is that a default package in Hardy? | 02:16 |
| kitche | liveguy81: I believe so | 02:16 |
| MaleXachi | I have another question ........ how do you get your name in irc like for example-MaleXachi-in brown letters shows such as a bone? | 02:16 |
| case^ | liveguy81: yes | 02:16 |
| c4st0r | its for Intel E8500 | 02:17 |
| IntangibleLiquid | OpenOffice crashed my laptop everytime I open a presentation from Google Docs, what's wrong? | 02:17 |
| liveguy81 | How do I use it then? When I attempt to make a new partition I don't have NTFS as a filessytem option. | 02:17 |
| fyrestrtr | IntangibleLiquid: save it to your disk first. | 02:17 |
| Hydrant | fyrestrtr: so install 7.04 and backport my fav other apps ? | 02:17 |
| Slokunshialgo | liveguy81: It cannot make them, but can mount & read/write to them | 02:17 |
| === Rev is now known as Guest68508 | ||
| fyrestrtr | Hydrant: instal 8.04 and then see what are the updated packages available for your apps | 02:17 |
| fyrestrtr | !info vtune | 02:17 |
| liveguy81 | Gotcha. | 02:17 |
| liveguy81 | Thanks. | 02:17 |
| IntangibleLiquid | fyrestrtr: I did that. But the same problem still exists. | 02:18 |
| Typh | Is there any way to make the area you can click on to resize windows larger? Trying to grab the corner of a window in Ubuntu is infuriating. | 02:18 |
| Strang3r | SeaPhor: thanks | 02:18 |
| Strang3r | :) | 02:18 |
| case^ | liveguy81: fire up gparted - it can show what can and can't be done | 02:18 |
| HaSH | hello all. im trying to set up a firewall. im using ufw. i did "ufw default deny" then "ufw allow 22/tcp" ...i then did "ufw enable"...it says its loaded..but its still accepting ping requests..which i read that it is supposed to drop by default. | 02:18 |
| lolmac | hi, HaSH | 02:18 |
| SeaPhor | swansk, hope that helped | 02:18 |
| liveguy81 | case^: Yep, that's what I did when I was trying to make an NTFS partition. | 02:19 |
| fyrestrtr | IntangibleLiquid: what problem? Sorry I don't know what you are referring to? Port forwarding? | 02:19 |
| unop | HaSH, check to see that ICMP doesn't require extra configuration with ufw | 02:19 |
| liveguy81 | Does anyone know if I burn a data cd or dvd in Ubuntu, can it be read in Windows? | 02:19 |
| Slokunshialgo | liveguy81: Yeah, it can | 02:19 |
| fyrestrtr | Typh: change your theme, that should help. | 02:20 |
| Infinito- | sure it can | 02:20 |
| Slokunshialgo | Unless you choose some obscure formatting option, which usually aren't rpesented | 02:20 |
| case^ | why is ff3 so crash happy even though it's though it's bang up to date? | 02:20 |
| case^ | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1 | 02:20 |
| fyrestrtr | case^: One word: Flash. | 02:20 |
| IntangibleLiquid | fyrestrtr: ehh, i saved a presentation file to PPT, tried to open it in OO and then OO crashed my laptop everytime | 02:20 |
| liveguy81 | So it will just be standard ISO or UDF format by default? | 02:20 |
| HaSH | unop, according to the wiki.....it doesnt | 02:20 |
| Slokunshialgo | case^: No idea. my compiled version of 3.1 is more stable than 3.0.1 ever could be | 02:20 |
| fyrestrtr | liveguy81: depends on what you decide to burn (data, audio, etc.) | 02:20 |
| HaSH | unop, Note: Security by obscurity may be of very little actual benefit with modern cracker scripts. By default, UFW blocks ping requests. You may find you wish to enable ping to diagnose networking problems. | 02:20 |
| PostersandGuitar | Bobertdos, how do | 02:21 |
| PostersandGuitar | I reinstall | 02:21 |
| liveguy81 | Right. I guess I mean to say that it won't be a Linux only format like the main filesystem. | 02:21 |
| Infinito- | I burt dvds and cds for years no ubuntu and then have them read on windows and dvd/sound systems | 02:21 |
| case^ | Slokunshialgo: thank you | 02:21 |
| fyrestrtr | liveguy81: no, CDROMs don't support those. | 02:21 |
| Infinito- | never had a problem | 02:21 |
| unop | HaSH, then i guess you can change the acronym of UFW from "uncomplicated firewall" to "useless firewall" :) | 02:21 |
| Infinito- | s/burt/burn | 02:21 |
| fyrestrtr | liveguy81: a CDROM only supports a few file systems, and those are universal. | 02:22 |
| unop | HaSH, sorry, i'm kidding - but i just had to say that :) | 02:22 |
| HaSH | unop, lawl ;-o | 02:22 |
| liveguy81 | That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. | 02:22 |
| liveguy81 | Thanks so much everyone. | 02:22 |
| Infinito- | s/no/on/ | 02:22 |
| liveguy81 | :) | 02:22 |
| unop | HaSH, or perhaps more aptly "undecided firewall" | 02:22 |
| fyrestrtr | "uninformed firewall" | 02:22 |
| HaSH | unop, lol | 02:22 |
| HaSH | i thought it could be something in hosts.allow..but its not. | 02:23 |
| arbir | is back | 02:23 |
| arbir | after a long long time :-) | 02:23 |
| unop | HaSH, i prefer the complicated firewall (iptables) - it just works | 02:23 |
| arbir | hi unop | 02:23 |
| HaSH | unop, i really wish there was bsd's pf for linux. | 02:23 |
| HaSH | pf rocks | 02:23 |
| arbir | HaSH: why dont you look into running a BSD kernel ? | 02:24 |
| fyrestrtr | HaSH: have you tried shorewall? Works great. | 02:24 |
| Quadrescence | What is the correct way to install KDE4 on Ubuntu (with gnome)? | 02:24 |
| abaddon3k2 | slokunshialgo: ok, so i booted the liveCD and am in /etc/passwd | 02:24 |
| fyrestrtr | Quadrescence: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 02:24 |
| HaSH | arbir, ive run fbsd for a while...but just switched over | 02:24 |
| SaintYossarian | Good evening. I had Ubuntu 8.04 partitioned with Vista, and everthing was running fine untill the first time I tried to rebott after starting up in Vista. Vista wiped the contents of the boot partition... Anyone seen this issue? | 02:24 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: post to www.pastebin.ca | 02:24 |
| Quadrescence | fyrestrtr: Thought that'd be it. | 02:24 |
| Quadrescence | fyrestrtr: And that is KDE4, yes? | 02:25 |
| HaSH | fyrestrtr, yea. i just figured that id try the new ufw...seemed like a easy set up..wouldnt have to relearn a bunch of crap. | 02:25 |
| ushimitsudoki | Quadrescence: use aptitiude, not apt-get for desktop pakages I think. | 02:25 |
| arbir | HaSH: did you take a look at this ? http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ | 02:25 |
| fyrestrtr | Quadrescence: but you might soon follow that with sudo apt-get remove --purge --never-install-again-this-crap kubuntu-desktop | 02:25 |
| fyrestrtr | Quadrescence: just a FYI | 02:25 |
| unop | ushimitsudoki, it doesn't matter - both will do the same thing | 02:25 |
| Quadrescence | fyrestrtr: Haha, why is that? | 02:25 |
| ushimitsudoki | unop: no they won't | 02:25 |
| unop | ushimitsudoki, they don't? ok, you had better explain. | 02:25 |
| arbir | in fact HaSH i think its called "crosshurd" | 02:25 |
| Flannel | Quadrescence: KDE4 is kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 02:26 |
| abaddon3k2 | slokunshialgo: http://www.pastebin.ca/1207926 | 02:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | unop: not when it comes time to remove the package | 02:26 |
| HaSH | arbir, nah. if imma run a bsd kernel..its gonna be freebsd or openbsd | 02:26 |
| fyrestrtr | Quadrescence: just my experience. | 02:26 |
| arbir | HaSH: you can also look into Gentoo's implementation of the BSD kernel... | 02:26 |
| xbxb | does ext3 have problems with writing to and reading from large (500 GB) files? | 02:26 |
| fyrestrtr | Quadrescence: you may love it :) | 02:26 |
| Quadrescence | fyrestrtr: I have used KDE(3) | 02:26 |
| unop | ushimitsudoki, i was referring to using them in an install scenario | 02:26 |
| Quadrescence | I did not like it very much. But I hear hope for 4. | 02:26 |
| * fyrestrtr cries a tear for Quadrescence | 02:26 | |
| unop | ushimitsudoki, in which case they are almost identical | 02:26 |
| arbir | xbxb: its a good question. i still use NTFS as my FS for my external HDDs | 02:27 |
| liveguy81 | Okay, one last question... | 02:27 |
| ushimitsudoki | unop: the point is if you install the -desktop with apt-get and then want to later remove it, the dependencies are borked. this is not the case with aptitude | 02:27 |
| LS1 | hello, I am trying to get a USB wifi adatper to work and under the ndiswrapper GUI it keeps saying hardware not present. I have done everything on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/WG111T with no luck...any ideas anyone | 02:27 |
| lolmac | hi, LS1 | 02:27 |
| arbir | HaSH: i need some help....... can you help me :) ? | 02:27 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: That's entirely wrong. | 02:27 |
| liveguy81 | Does anyone know of a good program to make an optical media backup? | 02:27 |
| LS1 | hey lolmac | 02:27 |
| fyrestrtr | arbir: we won't know unless you ask a question. | 02:27 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: no it is not. i have don't it myself and it is also referenced: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde and many other places | 02:27 |
| unop | ushimitsudoki, the point is - apt-get install something and aptitude install something #do the same thing - we're talking about installing packages here | 02:28 |
| HaSH | arbir, all depends on what u need help with | 02:28 |
| arbir | I am trying to run my old game called Imperialism.. using WINE.. somehow the audio wont work | 02:28 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: apt-get has autoremove now, which does a better job of aptitude, and doesn't require you to use aptitude for everything. | 02:28 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: You're booted into a live disk? | 02:28 |
| abaddon3k2 | slokunshialgo: yep, runs fine with the live disk | 02:28 |
| liveguy81 | I have about 41 GB I want to backup on DVD, but Brasero doesn't seem to have a multiple disc option. | 02:28 |
| fyrestrtr | aptitude and apt-get are just front ends to dpkg anyway, so in theory -- whatever you can do with both, you can do with dpkg if you so wish. | 02:28 |
| Slokunshialgo | abaddon3k: I'm gonna PM you some steps to try | 02:28 |
| Flannel | arbir: Try #winehq, they're better at diagnosing/fixing wine things | 02:28 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: Listen. Do it. Install a -desktop packaged with apt-get and then apt-remove it. Look at all the packages it will remove. | 02:28 |
| arbir | i play my arcade dos games using dos box, and audio is perfect.. but this is a win95 game | 02:28 |
| SaintYossarian | Hi all, trying once more. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 into a partition next to Vista. Everything worked fine, rebooting under Ubuntu was okay. Started PC in Vista, all worked fine. Then, when I tried to reboot, it kept resetting. Turns out, Vista wiped the contents of the boot partition. ANyone seen this issue? | 02:29 |
| fyrestrtr | liveguy81: create span archives. | 02:29 |
| arbir | Flannel: you hit the nail on the head.. let me try that channel :-) | 02:29 |
| liveguy81 | Wow. New term. | 02:29 |
| liveguy81 | Should I ask or just google it? | 02:29 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: You're not listening. You need to use autoremove to remove them, and it *does* work. Better than aptitude, and again, aptitude's ability to do that breaks if you use something else (like synaptic, etc) to install things like that. | 02:29 |
| g0ldb3rg | hi. i'm having some trouble with postfix. i followed two seperate guides and i cannot seem to send any mail out. when i telnet it says its queued and when i flush it nothing goes | 02:29 |
| HaSH | arbir, hmm im not really sure. | 02:30 |
| g0ldb3rg | do i have to open smtp port to send mail out from postfix? | 02:30 |
| arbir | HaSH: dont worry. i will try in that #winehq channel | 02:30 |
| unop | g0ldb3rg, no, only to receive mail | 02:30 |
| g0ldb3rg | icic | 02:30 |
| g0ldb3rg | i'm trying to figure out what i am doing wrong. i am trying to set up squirrel mail | 02:31 |
| Tulimaq | SaintYossarian: where u installed grub ? | 02:31 |
| HaSH | arbir, ok good luck! | 02:31 |
| arbir | thanks @ HaSH | 02:31 |
| g0ldb3rg | is there an irc channel somewhere for squirrelmail? | 02:31 |
| Flannel | g0ldb3rg: #squirrelmail | 02:32 |
| SaintYossarian | Tulimaq>> I'm sorry, I'm uber new at this ubuntu magick. I had three partitions, boot, swap & root. the contents of boot were gone. | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | unop Got a sec for a PM? | 02:33 |
| unop | Jack_Sparrow, sure | 02:33 |
| Tulimaq | SaintYossarian: how many partitions u have on hard drive ? | 02:33 |
| liveguy81 | Fyre: can you direct me to somewhere that explains "Span archives"? I've been searching, but so far I haven't found squat. | 02:34 |
| SaintYossarian | Tulimaq: All together, 4. Vista, and three for Ubuntu | 02:34 |
| UHLEr | so can anyone help me get a phillips webcam working | 02:34 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: The point I am trying to make is if you apt-get install a -desktop package, then apt-get remove is borked. Is this correct or incorrect? | 02:34 |
| fyrestrtr | liveguy81: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-215608.html | 02:34 |
| Legion[_] | I just finished installing 8.04 64bit on my new thinkpad t400. Got most of the devices working, but right now, when I try to boot up it tells me Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. When I try to use the configuration utility it can't still can't detect my graphics card (Mobility Radeon HD 3400). Any suggestions? | 02:34 |
| liveguy81 | Thank you. | 02:35 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: that's incorrect. | 02:35 |
| g0ldb3rg | does hardy heron server come with a firewall by default? | 02:35 |
| Flannel | !firewall | g0ldb3rg | 02:35 |
| fyrestrtr | g0ldb3rg: all linux distributions come with a firewall by default. | 02:35 |
| Flannel | Mmm, still no bot. | 02:35 |
| fyrestrtr | bots gone to sleep I think. | 02:35 |
| arvind_khadri | !firewall | g0ldb3rg | 02:35 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: so apt-get remove kde-desktop will work just fine? That is not my experience with kde-desktop or ubuntustudio-desktop. When or what changed? | 02:35 |
| fyrestrtr | !botsnack | 02:35 |
| g0ldb3rg | ic | 02:36 |
| Tulimaq | SaintYossarian: maybe u never mounted boot partition with installer ? or how did u find out that /boot is empy ? | 02:36 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: I've mentioned it a few times. You use autoremove. | 02:36 |
| g0ldb3rg | do i need to set rules for outgoing ports if i want smtp to work? | 02:36 |
| thiemster | ushimitsudoki: maybe you need to not be logged into the desktop environment that you are trying to remove | 02:36 |
| SaintYossarian | Legion: I had a similar problem last night, are you using the newest ATI driver? | 02:36 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: So, "apt-get remove" doesn't work? That is what I am saying | 02:36 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: It accomplishes a different task. | 02:36 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: It's not *supposed* to remove all the depends. | 02:36 |
| Legion[_] | SaintYossarian: Yes. I've spent the better part of today trying to install drivers to see if I can get it working. | 02:37 |
| thiemster | hi | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !puregnome | 02:37 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: it works just fine. It just doesn't do what *you* think it ought to do. | 02:37 |
| arvind_khadri | !hi | thiemster | 02:37 |
| thiemster | !hi | 02:37 |
| thiemster | !hi | thiemster | 02:37 |
| thiemster | what does !hi do? | 02:38 |
| NickRead | Goldberg: no - you do not need any special rules | 02:38 |
| SaintYossarian | Tulimaq: I used repair utility to reload grub, and I know for sure that I mounted boot partition with installer, as the first time it wiped, I reinstalled ubuntu completely and the same error happened, and it boots great numerous times until I try to boot after having booted under Vista once | 02:38 |
| tjay | PLEASE HELP - EMERGENCY...i used "envyng-gtk" to configure my Nvidia card in my laptop, things were working GREAT for days and days, then I just rebooted after getting some "critical updates" and now my monitor is in 640x480 mode AND WON'T GO BACK TO 1440X900. please help me fix this, i'm only 3-days into Linux and I don't know what to do!!!! | 02:39 |
| Flannel | tjay: If you use envy, you have to use envy every time you get a new kernel. | 02:39 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: I think most people expect "apt-get remove" to remove what "apt-get install" installed. And if they try that with the -desktop packages the result will be unexpected. I do not think most people will try "apt-get autoremove" in this case. That is my point, and I think it stands | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | tjay, rerun the envyng tool | 02:39 |
| Flannel | tjay: It's likely the critical updates included a new kernel, so you'll have to use envy again | 02:39 |
| SaintYossarian | Legion: The advice given me to was to use Envy to get the latest, it worked like a charm, but as my card is too new, I switched to a 34bit vers of Ubuntu BUT envy DID work. | 02:39 |
| etfb | I've found a page on help.ubuntu.com that desperately needs editing, and I'm happy to do the work, but there doesn't seem to be a discussion forum and I don't want to dive in and chop the article to pieces unannounced. Any ideas on where I go to talk about it first? | 02:40 |
| bobertdos | I'm having trouble understanding this whole gvfs bug to be honest. Why is it happening so unpredictably to some and not others? | 02:40 |
| belkinhelp2 | has anyone here had success with Nvidia soundstorm with Ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| tjay | Flannel: I did re-run it, I WAS at 800x600, but after the re-run, i'm at 640x480 . . . i'm affraid if i do it again, it'll only get worse! | 02:40 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: remove won't remove everything that's installed anyway, because it'll leave configuation files, etc. There is no benefit to using aptitude anymore, and what benefit it historically had wasn't valid if you wanted to use other (synaptic) tools anyway. | 02:41 |
| pirofwil | Im building a new system and I am wondering what version of ubuntu linux to install on a intel core 2 quad processor machine? | 02:41 |
| pirofwil | 64 bit or 32 bit | 02:41 |
| Tulimaq | SaintYossarian: ok, but when u boot the pc do u get grub boot menu .. or its just vista ? | 02:41 |
| Thwapp | morning folks | 02:41 |
| Quadrescence | pirofwil: I doubt it really matters, just preference. | 02:41 |
| Legion[_] | SaintYossarian: Switching to the 32bit version solved your problems? | 02:41 |
| ushimitsudoki | Flannel: I appreciate that, but it has no bearing on the point I am trying to make. Thank you for your input, I am done with this topic. | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pirofwil 32 | 02:41 |
| Quadrescence | Oh, which architecture to use... | 02:41 |
| Slokunshialgo | pirofwil: I'm using 64-bit | 02:41 |
| pirofwil | now some things dont work for 64 bit version correct? | 02:42 |
| Slokunshialgo | Has a few package incompatibilities, but (other than my Java in Firefox dying) nothing worth noting | 02:42 |
| NickRead | tjay: you won't make it worse than 640x480 | 02:42 |
| DaemonLee | Question: Why does the command "sudo apt-get update" result in the security mirrors in the APT list being ignored? | 02:42 |
| pirofwil | like less packages available | 02:42 |
| Flannel | ushimitsudoki: Again, your point was invalid and misleading to people who just want their stuff to work. | 02:42 |
| SaintYossarian | Legion: It solved a secondary problem. installing envy allowed me to get the newest driver | 02:42 |
| tjay | Flannel / NickRead: Can you help me get back to my 1440x900 setup? | 02:42 |
| NickRead | tjay: Why are you using envy instead of the restricted-drivers-manager? | 02:42 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: It shouldn't. Do you get an error with the message about them being ignored? | 02:42 |
| blur2040 | I have a fiddly little issue with with synaptic under Intrepid Ibex. No matter which repository I set, Synaptic isn't showing all pacakges. Two examples are Nethack and Compizconfig-settings manager. I can see them in aptitude and the add/remove applications program, but not under synaptic. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas? | 02:42 |
| Flannel | blur2040: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks | 02:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pirofwil We like to direct newer users to 32 to minimize the learning curve | 02:43 |
| blur2040 | Apologies. | 02:43 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, no. It's just something I notice when I do it in Yakuake/Terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" | 02:43 |
| g0ldb3rg | cant someone help with postfix? i cant send mail out | 02:43 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: can you pastebin the output you get from that command? | 02:43 |
| SaintYossarian | Tulimaq: No, I get a message that says 'grub 1.5 starting' and then my computer reboots. repeat infinitely. | 02:43 |
| ushimitsudoki | pirofwil: Do you have 4G or more of RAM? That is probably the main consideration for needing 64-bit I would say | 02:43 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, give me two minutes. | 02:43 |
| tjay | I don't even know what that is . . . I read about EnvyNG-GTK in a magazine, thought that i'd be cool to try, so I put Linux in...was happy with it, did the envy thing and was happy too. what is the restricted thing? Does that mean linux doesn't let you use envy??? | 02:43 |
| pirofwil | no i do not | 02:44 |
| smmagic | ushimitsudoki, 32bit linux can use 4gb of ram aswell | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | tjay, envyng should be the 'last method' you try to get your drivers going. Ubuntu has a 'hardware-manager' tool that is supposed to handle the task. | 02:44 |
| etfb | If I want to make major edits to a page on help.ubuntu.com, can I just do it? Or is it more polite to talk it over with someone. And if the latter: who? | 02:44 |
| kitche | smmagic: yeah if you want to use PAE which is not great | 02:44 |
| ushimitsudoki | smmagic: only thorugh PAE with is ugly | 02:45 |
| dr_willis | tjay, envy however does use some newer drivers.. which are needed for some video cards. | 02:45 |
| kitche | etfb: talk with the doc team | 02:45 |
| etfb | kitche: Where are they? | 02:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | smmagic: i did say it was a main consideration. Jesus, what is with this channel today? | 02:45 |
| Tulimaq | SaintYossarian: hm interesting.. and no grub errors ? | 02:45 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, cannot use pastebin. Too many URLs with Terminal reading out the URLs. | 02:45 |
| pirofwil | If i use 32 bit version of ubuntu will the OS be able to use all processors when using applications? | 02:45 |
| NickRead | tjay: Envy is an alternative method for installing the NVidia and ATI drivers. If you're using Gutsy or higher, then you can use the Nvidia drivers that come with the distro. Are you NVidia or ATI? | 02:45 |
| mEck0 | hi! I've updated a file in a directory, which I want to update in a tar-archive. After the modification of the file, I used: tar -df testarchive.tar, and it listed modified files. Then I used: tar -uvf testarchive.tar testdir/, and: tar -df testarchive.tar, the last command here shows the modified file again :( so I don't think it has been updated in the archive | 02:45 |
| belkinhelp2 | anyone here familiar with OSS ESD ALSA? | 02:45 |
| case^ | whats the tiny program that echos the inputs the x sees | 02:45 |
| belkinhelp2 | i have a specific problem with sound | 02:46 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: sudo apt-get update > ~/Desktop/output.txt | 02:46 |
| tjay | dr_willis: will that fix the problem? where is the "hardware-manager"? Use it / don't use it . . . i'm confused . . . My WinXP diehard buddy warned me of this . . . how do I get back to 1440x900 . . . PLEASE! | 02:46 |
| fyrestrtr | pirofwil: yes. | 02:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | pirofwil: In that case (not having more that 4G of RAM) I would say just use 32-bit (I have some 32-bit and 1 64-bit install of Ubuntu, BTW | 02:46 |
| belkinhelp2 | and i have a wonderful link that i followed....and BAM...nothing! | 02:46 |
| SaintYossarian | Tulimaq: Does not mention any errors at all. Simply restarts everything afer the aforementioned point | 02:46 |
| belkinhelp2 | i could simply have overlooked something and need a little coaching | 02:46 |
| kitche | etfb: well I believe their channel is #ubuntu-docs or something along those lines | 02:46 |
| etfb | kitche: Ah! Thanks. | 02:47 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, want me to email this to you? | 02:47 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: no, pastebin it | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | tjay, this is when it would of paid to read a little and check beforhand as to the 'reccomended' way to do things.. you basically need to reinstall the nvidia drivers.. and most likely rerunning that envy tool will do so.. if not. look in the menus for that hardware-manager tool and try it. | 02:47 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: What is your graphics card? | 02:47 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 02:47 |
| pirofwil | I saw a topic on here about 1440 X 900 resolution is that an issue to obtain in ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| arvind_khadri | i cant see my tracker applet | 02:47 |
| NickRead | pirofwil: no - that res is fine | 02:47 |
| Slokunshialgo | pirofwil: Shouldn't be, I'm running 2 monitors, one at 1680x1050 | 02:47 |
| Thwapp | Question: Just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 desktop on my Dell Inspiron 1100.. (only PC I have that I can get it to install and boot from) and the only way I can get it to boot up is to hit the Esc key during GRUB booting and boot from the recovery mode... | 02:47 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Nvidia | 02:47 |
| Thwapp | any idea why it boots to a black screen if left to it's own devices? | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | pirofwil, not really. With my laptops/wide screen machines. I have to have the nvidia drivers installed befor i get the proper res however. | 02:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | pirofwil: actually, that is my laptops resolution no problems there that i have seen | 02:47 |
| kitche | !info pastebinit | 02:48 |

| DaemonLee | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/49136/ | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | pirofwil, and if using DVI connection it makes it even easier. | 02:48 |
| kitche | Flannel: so I take it that the bot is still dead ...... | 02:48 |
| pirofwil | ok thanks | 02:48 |
| belkinhelp2 | !alsa | 02:48 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Nvidia, I don't much beyond that . . . how do I find out? | 02:48 |
| etfb | kitche: Found it! #ubuntu-doc. Thanks. I'm outta here! | 02:48 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT | 02:49 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: The Igns are worrying you? | 02:49 |
| case^ | whats the tiny program that echos the inputs the x sees? | 02:49 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, they are a little. I notice some of them goto Sources/Translation and others... | 02:49 |
| DaemonLee | Should I not be worried? | 02:49 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: 32 bit or 64? Or do you know? | 02:49 |
| amenado | case^ xev ? | 02:50 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: At this point, I think your best bet is to use Envy. | 02:50 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: Do you know how to get it? | 02:50 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: My computer? I don't know, but it's a Sony Vaio Laptop that came with vista home. | 02:50 |
| NickRead | SaintYossarian: he has Envy installed already | 02:50 |
| case^ | amenado: you little beauty :) | 02:50 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: no, you shouldn't be worried. You'll get big error messages (that will be obvious errors) if somethigns wrong | 02:51 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: Okay, I think I missed something, did you use Envy or did you click the icon that told you there were restricted drivers available? | 02:51 |
| DaemonLee | Ok. I was just worried, because I haven't gotten updates in like the last six-to-eight days. | 02:51 |
| g0ldb3rg | Saint: use envy. download the deb | 02:52 |
| g0ldb3rg | it automatically installs latest drivers | 02:52 |
| g0ldb3rg | for ati and nvidia | 02:52 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: I used Envy, and after you recomended it, I did find the Hardware Manager....it was blank and nothing was listed for "restricted drivers" | 02:52 |
| Jac1d | Anyone here familiar with running userspace entirely in ram from initramfs? | 02:52 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: I am using Envy again to uninstall the Nvidia driver . . . | 02:52 |
| g0ldb3rg | i had many problems with compiz and nvidia-glx drivers until i installed envy. fixed everything | 02:52 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, can you help me with another problem? | 02:53 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: If you had one preinstalled before (a driver) you defo need to uninstall it before using envy | 02:53 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: Feel free to ask (the channel), we have no idea if I can answer it. | 02:53 |
| g0ldb3rg | Does anyone know if I need to use MySQL for postfix to work? | 02:54 |
| case^ | amenado: just so you know - :-D | 02:54 |
| case^ | thank you | 02:54 |
| DaemonLee | Question: I have a massive problem, that if I attempt to use a WiFi point, I kernel panic. Or if I walk away from a WAP and am using it and lose signal on that particular wap, I Kernel Panic. Help? | 02:54 |
| case^ | side buttons on a mx518 are 8 and 9 | 02:54 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Y'know, I never even looked, I thought it was like Windows, where I HAD to install the special Nvidia drivers, and what I read said just that . . . that it installs the Linux Nvidia driver . . . so I just did that. | 02:54 |
| case^ | I luv xev | 02:54 |
| SaintYossarian | My helper booked on me. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 alongside Vista, everything was working fine for multiple reboots from Ubuntu. After booting Vista (Vista boot worked fine also) I tried to reboot. Hit the 'grub 1.5 starting' message (lasts for .5 seconds) then computer reboots and repeats infinitely. Vista wiped my /boot partition. Anyone seen the issue before? | 02:55 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Everything worked GREAT for the last few days, I just rebooted after getting updates and this happens. | 02:55 |
| tjay | SainYossarian: I even had FLOPPY windows, the COOLEST thing EVER! | 02:55 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: I made the -exact- same mistake last night. >.> Installed ubuntu last night for the first time. Floppy windows = happy Yossi | 02:56 |
| Thwapp | Question: Just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 desktop on my Dell Inspiron 1100.. (only PC I have that I can get it to install and boot from) and the only way I can get it to boot up is to hit the Esc key during GRUB booting and boot from the recovery mode... | 02:56 |
| Thwapp | any idea why it boots to a black screen if left to it's own devices? | 02:56 |
| tripitakit | tjay i still have the (12?) win 3.1 floppies .. | 02:56 |
| tripitakit | verbatim of course :P | 02:57 |
| ushimitsudoki | Thwapp: You can edit the kernel boot parameters from grub and remove "quiet" and "splash" to watch the boot process. This is a non-permanent change and would be the first thing I would try to see if I could identify the stopping point | 02:57 |
| ThePub | with enough memory is a person better off disabling swap or putting their swap into memory? | 02:57 |
| physically_fit | isn't disabling swap the same as putting it into memory? | 02:58 |
| Thwapp | ushimitsudoki: being totally new to Ubuntu and not having used linux since slackware wayyyy back when.. how do I do that again? Sorry... | 02:58 |
| CartoonCat | arg | 02:58 |
| SeaPhor | when i first joined this channel i was practically run out of the channel for even mentioning that i was using Envy, and now its recommended, even tho i have had no reason to use it since, and getting rid of it was like fighting malware on a windoze box,,, why is it so different now,,, i have had no problem getting ati and nvidia cards to work very well without it, and will never use Envy again | 02:58 |
| === charlie is now known as Guest97729 | ||
| unop | ThePub, keeping swap doesn't hurt - the kernel will only use it extensively under heavy load | 02:59 |
| Scunizi | Thwapp: it didn't configure x correctly on install.. | 02:59 |
| unop | ThePub, plus, you need it if you use suspend/hibernate, etc | 02:59 |
| kitche | SeaPhor: it's mostly used by people that have newer cards that ubuntu doesn't have a prebuilt thing for really | 02:59 |
| tjay | tripitakit: AWESOME, are you keeping them for historical value? | 02:59 |
| Scunizi | !resolution | Thwapp | 02:59 |
| ushimitsudoki | Thwapp: You can press "ESC" to get the different boot selections. From there it is "e" (i think -from memory) to edit the options for the particular selection you want. Just remove "quiet" and "splash" there. (They will not be removed permanently, only on that one boot) | 02:59 |
| CartoonCat | Anyone VERY familure with the opensource ati driver?? I have a older radeon 9100 ixp. It has support via the ati driver as listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 02:59 |
| physically_fit | ubottu is on vacation, Scunizi | 03:00 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: Envy still is bad. EnvyNG is a rewrite, and it does stuff better (and its in universe). But its still not the recommended way. | 03:00 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, how can I get my pc to list all of my hardware (like lspci)? | 03:00 |
| Flannel | DaemonLee: lspci and lsusb | 03:00 |
| CartoonCat | having followed that page <to the letter>, I still have no direct rendering. So how do I figure out jsut why?? | 03:00 |
| Scunizi | physically_fit: I hope "it" enjoys it.. I miss it already :) | 03:00 |
| DaemonLee | Flannel, thanks. I'm probably just going to put my problem on the Forums. | 03:00 |
| tjay | SainYossarian: Okay, Envy is done. I have to reboot . . . should I THEORETICALLY go back to 1440x900 after Linux takes over??? | 03:00 |
| physically_fit | i miss him too :( Scunizi | 03:00 |

| Yelpster | hello, my dog says hello too | 03:01 |
| Thwapp | ushimitsudoki: thanks.. I'll try that... | 03:01 |
| kitche | CartoonCat: radeon cards are hard to figure out the direct rendering really you just have to go though that guide along with your xorg.conf with a tooth and a comb really to figure out | 03:01 |
| Scunizi | Yelpster: woof | 03:01 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: Yes. In theory, that will make your compy have floppy windows of win again | 03:01 |
| CartoonCat | kitche, I have many times =\ | 03:01 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Okay, we'll see . . . be back in a pinch . . . *hope, hope* | 03:01 |
| CartoonCat | so frustrating. nVidia is simple in comparison, how ever newer ATi seams easy enough, its just this damn old fileserver that i want to use in my living room that is being a pita | 03:02 |
| * Slokunshialgo wishes his house was large enough to warrant a fileserver | 03:03 | |
| SaintYossarian | Installed Ubuntu 8.04 last night in partition alongside Vista. Upon booting in Vista, reboots don't work anymore. Vista deletes the contents of the /boot partition. ANyone see this before? | 03:03 |
| Quadrescence | CartoonCat: Can't be as bad as me still not having sound. | 03:03 |
| Yelpster | I am trying to build a custom livecd and I am at the stage of installing apps in it, I would like to upgrade OOffice 2.4 to OOffice 3.0RC2 | 03:03 |
| kitche | CartoonCat: well considering that the new radeon cards use radeonhd probably will be easier once the guy finishes the driver fully since he broke his hand I guess and now it's all better | 03:03 |
| Genius314 | For some reason, recently, when I press the volume control buttons on my keyboard, the volume window pops up, but the sound doesn't change at all, no matter what volume I set it to. Going to the sound properties and changing the volume levels there still works, but this is too inconvenient. Any help? | 03:03 |
| Yelpster | should I run the upgrade.sh script or just dpkg -i *.deb for open office 3.0 RC2 into my livecd | 03:03 |
| CartoonCat | Quadrescence, well i havent got around to making sure i even have sound still. I should have stayed at the old old ass 2.4 install, it at least worked | 03:03 |
| Quadrescence | CartoonCat: My sound worked, IIRC, with the last version of ubuntu. :} | 03:04 |

| AllNewToMe | How do I install a .tar file in Ubuntu Hardy please?? | 03:04 |
| Quadrescence | AllNewToMe: You don't install tar files. | 03:05 |
| CartoonCat | Kitcha oh ouch, no biggie as all my new hardware is nVidia. Its the old old stuff i need working (and the pages says it does | 03:05 |
| Yelpster | AllNewToMe: it kind of depends on whats in the tar file | 03:05 |
| Quadrescence | AllNewToMe: Think of them like zip files. | 03:05 |
| AllNewToMe | Sorry, its a .tgz file | 03:05 |
| asdf25 | "tar zxf filename" to extract it | 03:06 |

| SaintYossarian | pyrohotdog: ...did you install flash? | 03:11 |
| arvind_khadri | pyrohotdog, you need to have flash | 03:11 |
| Yelpster | AllNewToMe: it depends on what is in the .tgz file | 03:11 |
| arvind_khadri | !flash | pyrohotdog | 03:11 |

| IntuitiveNipple | pyrohotdog: Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| pyrohotdog | NOpe. | 03:16 |
| amenado | congrats LiMaO | 03:16 |
| Thwapp | ushimitsudoki: Heyup.. tried your suggestion.. you were bang on in your memory of the options.. everything scrolled by as OK, etc.. then the screen went black and the login chime sounded, however there was no video.. *sigh*.. I could log on, and I heard the startup chime, but that's it... had to boot back into recovery mode to come back... | 03:16 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: I guess because everything was cached locally, it was able to RE-INSTALL very quickly. It says I need to reboot again. As a side note, I uninstalled the DRIVERS via envyng-gtk, I did not get rid of the program . . . this is right, yes? | 03:16 |
| taseus | just to let everyone know, broadcom cards suck :) | 03:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | pyrohotdog: It sounds as if the flash plugin has crashed. Does restarting Firefox fix it? | 03:16 |
| kenny | yelpster, no Nero is saying that the blank cd isnt big enough for the 704mb hardy daily iso | 03:17 |
| snowman | does any one no how to install a webcam on ubuntu | 03:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | snowman: plug it in :) | 03:17 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: you got it. you're using 32 bit, correct? | 03:17 |
| Yelpster | kenny: try a different cd burner | 03:17 |
| r0b | Xcerca: try "amixer sset Master,0 5%+" and "amixer sset Master,0 5%-" | 03:17 |

| snowman | micro | 03:18 |
| pyrohotdog | I have sound but no video, just gray. | 03:18 |
| tjay | snowman: If it's a laptop integrated webcam, good luck, I've been trying for the last 3-days to get mine working with NO LUCK. If you get help, PM me and let me know the trick! | 03:18 |
| ushimitsudoki | Thwapp: In that case, then I would try the recovery mode and then "startx" I would look for errors in output and also in /var/log/xorg.0.log. Because I would just be guessing that there is some problem with the video here - that's what it sounds like to me anyways | 03:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tjay: What's the device ID? | 03:18 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: okay, now use envy to get the driver | 03:18 |
| Xcerca | r0b sweet , thanks amixer sset Master,0 5%+ | 03:18 |
| snowman | no its a desktop | 03:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | snowman: with the camera connected, pastebin the results of "lsusb", or just tell me the USB device ID of the camera | 03:19 |
| Genius314 | Pressing the volume up/down keys on my keyboard brings up the little window showing that the volume's changing, but the actual volume stays at the same level. It was working a few days ago. Does anyone know what might have happened? | 03:19 |
| Xcerca | snowman micro ? what are you talkin bout | 03:19 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Got it all reinstalled, I'm going to reboot and see if i'm back to floppy-nirvana . . . | 03:19 |
| Thwapp | ushimitsudoki: I would concur, I'll muck about and see if I can figure out how to do that.. Last time I played with Linux was slackware 3... Looks like I'm up for a long night.. *sigh* | 03:19 |
| Yelpster | webcams aren't very well supported in nix unfortunately, I wish they would make a windows driver install wrapper for it (like ndiswrapper) | 03:19 |

| cowbud | Yelpster: linux has a ton of webcam drivers | 03:20 |
| cowbud | there is some crazy developer that has added something like 100 drivers himself.. | 03:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Yelpster: I maintain a bunch of Ubuntu webcam driver packages. Coverage is pretty good, the problem is the manufacturers not releasing specifications | 03:20 |
| detrix | I need help installing the KDE desktop. I have the install DVD. I am on dialup and want to install from the DVD, not the internet. | 03:20 |
| Yelpster | cowbud: but most of the new laptops come out with a different version of hardware webcam every week | 03:20 |
| Alaskan_Dragon | Yelpster, Boot from CD and follow instructions :) | 03:21 |

| dashnu | Can you have firestarter listen on multiple interfaces??? So I dont need to change it each time i go from wireless to wired??? | 03:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Yelpster: That's not a Linux problem though, that's a manufacturer issue. If the details were available support for new cameras would be added to drivers very quickly. | 03:21 |
| Yelpster | Alaskan_Dragon: huh? boot from what cd? | 03:22 |
| Alaskan_Dragon | Yelpster, dont you have the CD ISO burned to a cd ready to install ? | 03:22 |
| Yelpster | IntuitiveNipple: yes I agree, I didn't say it was *nix problem, I just said its unfortunate | 03:22 |

| Alaskan_Dragon | Yelpster, you said you wanted to install, your os from cd and not internet right cuz your on dial up? | 03:23 |
| Eason | i have no sound , | 03:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Yelpster: I dunno if I'd call it unfortunate... maybe at some point the user nagging at the manufacturers might give us more support from them :) | 03:23 |
| Alaskan_Dragon | Yelpster, your running the os from the CD, but its not installed correct? | 03:23 |
| darkbishop | i need help.can anyone tell me y eveytime i issue the command "apt-get install vlc" its came our "E:cannot install vlc" something like tat | 03:23 |
| Yelpster | IntuitiveNipple: we both know that won't happen as long as the vole is subsidizing developer efforts on their OS | 03:23 |
| joe_ | detrix is trying to install not yelpster | 03:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Yelpster: Things are moving that way as Ubuntu gets more popular... there's more vocal users as a result :) | 03:24 |
| Alaskan_Dragon | Yelpster, yeah i might have lol nm. thought it was you asking that. | 03:24 |

| gbear14275 | got a question about panels | 03:27 |
| physically_fit | Alaskan_Dragon, the whole vlc package | 03:27 |
| gbear14275 | is there a way to get a terminal prompt in a panel? | 03:27 |
| Xcerca | sweet , i finally got my remote working | 03:27 |
| jscinoz | basically i have a folder with ~100 python scripts, i need to go through each one and check if the first line is #! /usr/bin/python, if it is not then add that line | 03:27 |
| === r0bbyarrr is now known as r0bby | ||
| jscinoz | i was thinking i could use sed to do this? but i dont know how | 03:27 |
| Xcerca | gbear14275 yea | 03:27 |
| aftersomehelp | I ran the Live CD, and used the partitioner to create an Ubuntu partition, but it can't seem to boot up with it? | 03:27 |
| gbear14275 | basically a terminal prompt in a panel... no output lines | 03:27 |
| Yelpster | IntuitiveNipple: thanks but I am already done, my issue is specificly about openoffice 3.0 rc2 and how to install it over the 2.4 version that comes on the ubuntu daily-live | 03:28 |
| gbear14275 | xcerca, can you point me in the right direction | 03:28 |
| LiMaO | [23:16:45] <amenado> congrats LiMaO --> what was that for? | 03:28 |
| NickRead | jscinoz: if you know python, then it's probably easier to write a quick python script that does this :) | 03:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Yelpster: "over" ? wouldn't you replace it? | 03:28 |
| snowman | can vlc play swf files? | 03:28 |
| gbear14275 | would be greatly appreciated | 03:28 |
| Xcerca | right click on panel , add to panel , chose terminal input | 03:28 |
| Chrisie | snowman: try gnash, it's available via Synaptic PAckage Manager | 03:28 |
| ceo4eva | Ok, i really need help. | 03:29 |
| aftersomehelp | I think I may need to make sure the GRUB loader is working ok? | 03:29 |
| Yelpster | IntuitiveNipple: Thats just it, I don't know, there are 2 ways to install it, through the upgrad.sh script, and then dpkg -i *.deb | 03:29 |
| aftersomehelp | but I"m not sure how :-) | 03:29 |
| jscinoz | Nicke, hmm i will try one sec | 03:29 |
| gbear14275 | xcerca.... thats not an option thats listed... | 03:29 |
| Yelpster | IntuitiveNipple: and I am not sure. One will probably destroy my cd image | 03:29 |
| ceo4eva | Can some one help me out? | 03:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | jscinoz: something like sed -e '1, 's/^\([^#].*\)$/# \1/' | 03:29 |
| kbrosnan | !ask | ceo4eva | 03:29 |
| ubot3 | ceo4eva: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 03:29 |
| r0b | ceo4eva: ask your question | 03:29 |
| jscinoz | thanks IntuitiveNipple | 03:30 |
| aftersomehelp | is there an easy way to see if the GRUB loader is working? (I've installed Ubuntu on a new partition, but only XP starts up..) | 03:30 |
| ceo4eva | I just got ubuntu today, and i want to know how to install my RTL8185 Wireless adapter on it | 03:30 |
| Xcerca | gbear14275 hold on | 03:30 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: I'm back with NO CHANGE. In fact, THIS TIME, while rebooting it said "Your Screen and Graphics card could not be detected" so linux is running in "Low Graphics Mode". | 03:30 |
| gbear14275 | Xcerca... thanks! | 03:30 |
| ryan_ | How you add Firefox to the Panel? | 03:30 |
| Yelpster | my girl friend always asks me "can I ask you something?" to which I reply "you have already violated the asking principal by asking if you could ask, so therefore I can't answer your first question since it's answer was used up with this response" | 03:30 |
| dashnu | aftersomehelp: grubs not working | 03:30 |
| Xcerca | gbear14275 you're using gnome right ? | 03:31 |
| gbear14275 | yes | 03:31 |
| gbear14275 | although i am interested in trying out kde | 03:31 |
| Xcerca | cool | 03:31 |
| joe_ | if grub is installed right you should not get to windows without selecting it | 03:31 |
| bobertdos | ceo4eva: I have that exact same device. ndisgtk will work using the latest XP drivers. | 03:31 |
| gbear14275 | so if the answer involves switching... might provide me some incentive | 03:31 |
| tjay | ryan_: right click the panel and choose "add to this panel", then choose "application launcher", scroll down to Internet and choose "firefox". It'll show up. | 03:31 |
| aftersomehelp | dashnu - well when I restarted having installed Ubuntu, it simply loads XP - but shows the smaller partition size.. | 03:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | jscinoz: I suspect it would be better with sed -e '1,1 ...' to limit the range to the first line :) | 03:31 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: Sorry, was re-booting | 03:32 |
| ceo4eva | boberdos, i have no idea what ndisgtk is. | 03:32 |
| tjay | ryan_: right click the panel and choose "add to this panel", then choose "application launcher", scroll down to Internet and choose "firefox". It'll show up. | 03:32 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: I'm back with NO CHANGE. In fact, THIS TIME, while rebooting it said "Your Screen and Graphics card could not be detected" so linux is running in "Low Graphics Mode". | 03:32 |
| jscinoz | ah i see, thanks IntuitiveNipple | 03:32 |
| dashnu | aftersomehelp: how many disks you have? what disk did you install it on? | 03:32 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: Okay, go back to envy and choose manual detetection | 03:32 |
| Yelpster | ndisgtk is a tiny app that uses GTK window manager to allow you to install wireless drivers via the gui | 03:32 |
| aftersomehelp | I've got three hard drives in..... | 03:32 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: I'm sorry, I wish I was brilliantly helpful. ;.; | 03:32 |
| joe_ | I always use the alt install disc, not the live disc... but I think if you boot from the live disc it will offer a way to fix grub | 03:33 |
| Xcerca | gbear14275 well , in add to panel choose Run Application... | 03:33 |
| tjay | SaidYossarian: I'm sorry too . . . LOL, j/k | 03:33 |
| ceo4eva | So Yelpster, how do i get to ndisgtk? | 03:33 |
| aftersomehelp | joe - thus far it simply offers to re-install Ubuntu.... | 03:33 |
| CartoonCat | tjay, what video card do you have | 03:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | jscinoz: Actually... hold on, let me test a real example, I'm confusing myself as much as you, that example was totally wrong! | 03:33 |
| r0b | ceo4eva: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 03:33 |
| Yelpster | ceo4eva: if you are using ubuntu just use synaptic and type in ndisgtk | 03:33 |
| tjay | CartoonCat: Nvidia Geforce 6800M GT | 03:33 |
| dashnu | aftersomehelp: joe is right i think boot back into ubuntu install grub on your mbr first disk | 03:33 |
| tj1515 | nged my resolution and i can't change it back it is scrambled bad i'm in recovery mode now | 03:33 |
| tjay | CartoonCat: Sony Vaio Laptop | 03:33 |
| CartoonCat | aftersomehelp, sounds like you did not install grub to the main hd boot sector | 03:33 |
| ryan_ | tjay: awesome! Now how would you make it so firefox launches to lets say yahoo.com when clicked. | 03:34 |
| aftersomehelp | cartooncat - sounds right! | 03:34 |
| joe_ | then the os didn't install, either not complete or corrupt | 03:34 |
| r0b | ryan_: in firefox edit preferences and change your homepage | 03:34 |
| gbear14275 | Xcerca.... only puts a quicklink, or icon in there... | 03:34 |
| tjay | ryan_: Set your homepage to "Yahoo.com" and when clicked the first thing it'll go to is it's "Home" page. | 03:34 |
| XiXaQ | is it possible to get new packages into an LTS release between dotreleases? | 03:34 |
| SaintYossarian | tjay: ready to write this down? | 03:34 |
| aftersomehelp | p'raps I need some partition advice then - 'cos I can simply re-do it then.... | 03:34 |
| tjay | SaintYossarian: Yes, one sec. | 03:34 |
| Yelpster | schroedingers cat | 03:34 |
| dashnu | aftersomehelp: boot the live disk up | 03:34 |
| aftersomehelp | I'm in ubuntu now :-) | 03:35 |
| aftersomehelp | (so yup - have done so.....) | 03:35 |
| dashnu | mount drive chroot into the install | 03:35 |
| dashnu | install grub | 03:35 |
| Genius314 | ryan_: Custom Application Launcher, put Firefox as the name, and "firefox yahoo.com" (without the quotes) as the command. | 03:35 |
| joe_ | you could try super grub loader (google it) and boot from it to see what is installed? | 03:35 |
| CartoonCat | aftersomehelp, first sit down and figure out where you did install it, then see about just using the windows bootlaoder to launch it | 03:35 |
| dashnu | aftersomehelp: or you have to reinstall.. | 03:35 |
| bobertdos | ceo4eva: Once you've installed ndisgtk via synaptic, go get the latest Windows XP drivers from the realtek website. | 03:35 |
| aftersomehelp | I'll try super grub thing in amo.... | 03:35 |

| Xcerca | gbear14275 yea , i've seen it there though , you might have to add a new package , then when you choose add to panel it migth be listed | 03:36 |
| aftersomehelp | dash - is it straight forward to follow your advice (the mount drive thing?) | 03:36 |
| Yelpster | can you install grub onto the partition you are chrooted into? | 03:36 |
| Jonas1 | is someone got a glitch trying to install Ubuntu over a 2nd drive that it's not the main drive? | 03:36 |
| dashnu | tj1515: edit xorg.conf | 03:36 |
| Falcons_roost | !ubuntu-keyring | 03:36 |
| gertie | hello | 03:36 |
| ubot3 | Factoid ubuntu-keyring not found | 03:36 |
| Yelpster | might be easier to install grub from a livecd | 03:36 |
| ceo4eva | bobertdos, what if i have the cd with me? | 03:36 |
| CartoonCat | Jonas1 aftersomehelp, sound like it just chose not to isntall grub | 03:36 |
| Falcons_roost | !Ubuntu-keyring | 03:36 |
| aftersomehelp | so now I've got a bit of a partition mess :-) | 03:36 |
| zeelot | hey guys, installed 64bit ubuntu today (8.04) and now I can't seem to checkout a repository with kdesvn or rapidsvn anymore, I get PROPFIND of '/': 403 Forbidden, anyone know why? I dont even get a login prompt | 03:36 |
| gbear14275 | I figured that might be the case... any idea which package I might need? | 03:36 |
| tj1515 | dashnu: i tried that but i see nothing about the resolution | 03:37 |
| jscinoz | hmm | 03:37 |
| jscinoz | \n is a newline when used as part of a string in bash? | 03:37 |
| bobertdos | ceo4eva: Do you have internet access? Synaptic uses online repos to download and install packages like ndisgtk | 03:37 |
| dashnu | tj1515: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 03:37 |
| joe_ | maybe not a partition mess, just a grub thing | 03:37 |
| Jonas1 | CartoonCat - and it's because of this that i have only a shell and not the x-windows environement? | 03:37 |
| ceo4eva | Yes, i connected with my wired connection | 03:37 |
| corky_gaia | alguem me ajuda | 03:37 |
| tj1515 | dashnu: yep | 03:37 |
| tj1515 | no resolutions | 03:37 |
| aftersomehelp | well I'll go try and fix GRUB... and pop back in a bit :-) | 03:38 |
| ryan_ | Thanks so much for the Tip! That worked awesome! | 03:38 |

| dashnu | tj1515: yea i guess your right... I have no idea where they stick it off the top of my head in this distro | 03:38 |
| tj1515 | nair burns | 03:38 |
| gbear14275 | on another note.... noticed my system manager was only recognizing 3 gig's of my 4 gig's installed... is this a quick fix or do I have to reinstall 64 bit ubuntu or something similar? could PAE extensions fix this? | 03:39 |
| dashnu | tj1515: ill try to find it | 03:39 |
| Yelpster | yes tj uses nair on the legs | 03:39 |

| tj1515 | yelpster: wife did said it burns ;) | 03:39 |
| CartoonCat | Yelpster, whats the prob? | 03:39 |
| Cream | Does Ubuntu supports Blu-ray dual layer burners? | 03:40 |
| TuxOtaku | anyone here have trouble installing the beta for Adobe AIR? | 03:40 |
| Yelpster | CartoonCat: I need to know how to install openoffice 3.0 rc2 into a livecd I am customizing | 03:40 |
| TuxOtaku | 'cos the installer keeps crapping out for me | 03:40 |
| elektronisch | TuxOtaku: nope | 03:40 |
| TuxOtaku | saying I need administrator access | 03:40 |
| TuxOtaku | when I'm running the .bin as root | 03:40 |
| elektronisch | works here, try running it under root | 03:40 |
| elektronisch | oh | 03:40 |
| TuxOtaku | :) | 03:40 |
| elektronisch | run it under a regular user, thats what i did and it prompted me for root pass | 03:40 |
| CartoonCat | Yelpster, ahh, i dunno, is it any diffrent then installing any other package?? | 03:41 |
| TuxOtaku | tried that. | 03:41 |
| TuxOtaku | nothing | 03:41 |
| TuxOtaku | I've removed .adobe/ from my homedir | 03:41 |
| TuxOtaku | and have removed the old installation of AIR | 03:41 |
| elektronisch | ;/ no idea i just installed it on my new 8.04 install a few minutes ago | 03:41 |
| bobertdos | elektronisch: Right-click the networking icon in the top-right of the main menu bar and open Edit Wireless Networks. Is it there? | 03:41 |
| ceo4eva | Once i'm in Synaptic and i have marked stuff for installation. How do i actually install them now> | 03:41 |
| ceo4eva | ?* | 03:41 |
| Cream | Does Ubuntu supports Blu-ray dual layer burners? | 03:41 |
| Yelpster | CartoonCat: well it's different in that its not a complete environment, its the live-cd environment, I am afraid of destroying openoffice 2.4 by running the upgrade script from ooffice 3.0 on it | 03:41 |
| goat|lappy | ceo4eva: click apply | 03:42 |
| r0b | ceo4eva: click apply at the top | 03:42 |

| Level15 | Hi: WHere can I suggest something to be added to Ubuntu server? | 03:43 |
| elektronisch | hey all, does anyone know why my wireless settings do not save when i reboot my fresh 8.04 install? Everytime I reboot, I have to retype in my wep key in order for it to connect to my network | 03:43 |
| CartoonCat | Yelpster, ive done it per that link | 03:44 |
| elektronisch | sorry wrong button | 03:44 |
| === Cream is now known as lulz | ||
| elektronisch | bobertdos: yes its there but wont let me type in the bssid | 03:44 |
| zeelot | please can someone help me with my issue? am I missing an app or something? the svn server works fine on all other systems but not my new 64bit install of ubuntu 8.04 | 03:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | jscinoz: Look at this example (it processes all .txt files in a directory) http://paste.ubuntu.com/49145/ | 03:44 |
| jscinoz | thanks IntuitiveNipple i think i got it to work | 03:45 |
| ceo4eva | Ok, now that I have installed ndisgtk (or atleast i think i have) how does that help me install my RTL 8185 wireless network adapter? | 03:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | jscinoz: ok... for that example, if you use it, add "-i" to sed's options so it replaces the existing file rather than writing to stdout (that's a safety feature until the script is tested) | 03:46 |
| vassler | does anyone know where to find the BEST linix apps and html/java code hlp to use for best web design?? pls hlp any1? | 03:46 |
| jscinoz | ah ok thanks IntuitiveNipple | 03:46 |
| masmota | plz help, desperate. short: getting grub msg "error 18" long: this is a fileserver with lots of stuff on it. i've alrdy booted live cd and ran fsck - everything is ok. re-installed grub, doesnt help. system has been running for a long time, and earlier i was copying an iso to the server via samba, and the machine hard-locked and would not boot back up. | 03:46 |
| hikenboot | greetings all can someone tell me if the python-xen-3.1 is a minimal python for just running xen or does it have to have python also installed | 03:47 |
| ceo4eva | Ok, now that I have installed ndisgtk (or atleast i think i have) how does that help me install my RTL 8185 wireless network adapter? | 03:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: Error 18: This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area | 03:48 |
| hikenboot | note: I currently do not have a ubuntu machine to see dependencies | 03:48 |
| lycoste | what's the mp3 player to use? | 03:48 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: Have you checked in the BIOS for any disk-mapping or translation options for that disk? | 03:48 |
| bobertdos | ceo4eva: Now, you need to download the latest Windows XP drivers from the website. Once you have them extracted, point ndisgtk to the appropriate inf file and the program will do the rest of the work. | 03:49 |
| CartoonCat | doesnt the rtl8185 have linux drivers?? | 03:49 |
| masmota | IntuitiveNipple: i havent fiddled with the bios since i set the machine up last year | 03:49 |
| gbear14275 | is there a terminal command to show how much memory my kernel can see? does free work? | 03:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: So check it... there's nothing to say the nvram/CMOS settings weren't affected when the system failed | 03:50 |
| masmota | IntuitiveNipple: k, im looking at the bios now, everything seems to be on "auto" | 03:50 |
| ceo4eva | bobertdos, i have marked ndisgtk. I clicked apply. But everytime i click "Not Installed" i still see it in the list | 03:50 |
| CartoonCat | gbear14275m top ?? | 03:51 |
| vassler | does anyone know where to find the BEST linix apps and html/java code hlp to use for best web design?? pls hlp any1? | 03:51 |
| ceo4eva | And yes it does cartooncat | 03:51 |
| masmota | IntuitiveNipple: i can try setting to lba ? | 03:51 |
| r0b | vassler: scite | 03:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: Error 18 indicates that GrUB is being asked to seek to a cylinder number larger than the BIOS can address, so if the MBR and stage 1.5 files are okay, the BIOS is the only other issue | 03:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: Yes, try that! | 03:51 |
| gbear14275 | cartoon cat... free works... am trying to figure out why ubuntu wont recognize my last gig of RAM | 03:51 |
| goat|lappy | gbear14275: how much memory? | 03:51 |
| vassler | i need to know how to make profestional web design | 03:52 |
| CartoonCat | gbear14275, how much do you have | 03:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | gbear14275: 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| masmota | IntuitiveNipple: k ... will the disk still work even though i installed the OS in normal mode? | 03:52 |
| CartoonCat | vassler, thats not here, try #html | 03:52 |
| r0b | vassler: check out w3schools.com | 03:52 |
| bobertdos | ceo4eva: Let's just make absolutely certain it installs. In a terminal, type: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk. | 03:52 |
| gbear14275 | 4 gig's installed | 03:52 |
| masmota | well scratch that, still error 18 | 03:52 |
| r0b | vassler: or the irc channels #java #html etc | 03:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: Shouldn't make any difference - Linux does its own disk handling, only GrUB needs the BIOS since there's no kernel at that point | 03:52 |
| masmota | i see | 03:53 |
| bobertdos | gbear14275: It will not recognize a full 4 gigs if you are on 32-bit. | 03:53 |
| masmota | anything else i can try? | 03:53 |
| gbear14275 | was reading about pae extensions and such... but wondering what the best "fix" is and right now am trying to determine where the system losses sight of that last gig | 03:53 |
| case^ | does persistant segfaults suggest I should run memtest - even if the segfaults are with just one app (mostly) | 03:53 |
| joe_ | you need 64 bits for more than 3 gig of memory, right? | 03:53 |
| case^ | *do | 03:53 |
| FiremanEd2 | -you need 64 bits for more than 3 gig of memory, right? | 03:53 |

| ubot3 | gbear14275: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 335, column 84 | 03:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | masmota: Well, something has changed, obviously. If the BIOS settings are okay then it is back to reinstalling GRUB since something in the MBR, stage 1.5 or stage 3 files has been clobbered... data corruption because of unclean shutdown most likely. | 03:54 |
| ceo4eva | I even have the CD for the rtl8185 but it's confusing as hell how to install stuff. Anytime i click something another folder comes up. on on on and on again | 03:54 |

| gbear14275 | any of you happen to be running x64 on a T61? | 03:57 |
| IntuitiveNipple | gbear14275: The packages that aren't available for 64-bit are proprietary, with the exception of some specific libraries that access hardware in real-mode | 03:57 |

| chubs_ | are you transferring anything? | 04:04 |
| chubs_ | using it in any way? | 04:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | gbear14275: LBA ignores CHS | 04:04 |
| Ninesvnsicks | no but the only thing that isn't commented out | 04:04 |
| Flannel | Ninesvnsicks: Please paste the whole thing | 04:04 |
| chubs_ | tsuna27, sudo umount /media/disk (or whatever it may be) | 04:04 |

| tsuna27 | chubs: its my sony phone that im transfering files, the phones screen says its still connected | 04:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | tsuna27: Do you have a program or window open in a directory on the USB stick? | 04:05 |
| Daps | what do i need to get this radio station http://citysoundfm.com/liveradio.htm to play its streaming audio ? | 04:05 |
| starscalling | /quit | 04:05 |
| starscalling | clearly | 04:05 |
| tsuna27 | intuitivenipple: i think | 04:05 |
| chubs_ | tsuna27, sometimes devices say that when they're not. as long as they're unmounted it'll be fine. but if there is any program open that you were using to transfer files it may be wise to close that | 04:05 |
| tsuna27 | tryin it | 04:06 |
| gbear14275 | intuitiveNipple: I'm running into the issue when using testdisk after partitioning using gparted... would love to get it to not have those mismatches but are you saying the issue is obsolete or...? | 04:06 |
| Flannel | Ninesvnsicks: hmm, alright. That all looks good. Does sudo update-grub give any output at all? | 04:06 |
| talexb_ | Hi, just posted something to paste.bin .. can't mount an NFS volume. :( | 04:06 |
| chubs_ | talexb_, you need to give the link ;) | 04:07 |
| talexb_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/49151/ | 04:07 |
| Ninesvnsicks | flannel: http://pastebin.com/d330ce50 | 04:07 |
| talexb_ | chubs_ Oops .. thought that would come through automatically .. my bad. | 04:07 |
| gbear14275 | last time I tried to resolve it I altered my partition heads (not sure on the terminology) from 240 to 255 and lost my whole partition table and such... that was a hard loss | 04:07 |
| chubs_ | talexb_, no worries | 04:07 |
| IntuitiveNipple | gbear14275: I'm not sure what precisely the issue is, but the addressing is either CHS or LBA. Some tools report pseudo-CHS (such as [c]fdisk) but the underlying system uses LBA | 04:07 |
| gbear14275 | on the recommendation of testdisk >:o | 04:07 |
| Flannel | Ninesvnsicks: interesting. The next line *should* be Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done What are the permissions on menu.lst? | 04:08 |
| chubs_ | talexb_, usually an ip address is necessary. for example 192.168.0.1:/pool/scratch | 04:08 |
| tsuna27 | chubs: thx its fine | 04:08 |
| Ninesvnsicks | idk | 04:09 |

| talexb_ | chubs_ Nope, IP address didn't solve the problem. | 04:10 |
| chubs_ | talexb_, the error is related to the mount itself, so it's probably not actually the ip address. but try anyways i'd say. | 04:10 |

| chubs_ | talexb_, the only thing I can think of is a bad exports file on the other system, but usually that'd be a permissions error | 04:12 |
| Flannel | Ninesvnsicks: Very odd indeed. Alright, well, I'm stumped, but yes, to edit it manually just copy the two -16 entries, paste right above them, and then change the -16 to -19 | 04:12 |
| Ninesvnsicks | Flannel: ok | 04:13 |
| Flannel | Ninesvnsicks: maybe once youre running the newer kernel, you'll be able to successfulyl update your grub | 04:13 |
| chubs_ | but it's erroring on the first block it seems | 04:13 |
| izinucs | darkbishop, first ctrl+alt+ F2.. log in .. then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop.. install drivers... then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start.. ctrl+alt+F7 to get to the gui if it doesn't take you there automatically | 04:13 |

| xbxbxb | Flannel: In that specific situation I can't, since I need root before I log in with my user name | 04:15 |
| izinucs | darkbishop, however.. it looks like you're trying to install the drivers from the MF site? Have you tried the restricted drivers manager under System/admin/Hardware driver? | 04:15 |
| chubs_ | talexb_, is that the guide you followed? | 04:15 |
| talexb_ | The command 'sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common' adds the missing pieces, and now it works. | 04:15 |
| Flannel | xbxbxb: Why do you need that? | 04:15 |
| darkbishop | izinucs:there nothing there in my hardware driver.its empty | 04:16 |
| abaddon3k | i was wondering if anyone could help me please? i just freshly installed ubuntu but i cant log in with the login information i provided at setup | 04:16 |

| talexb_ | chubs_ The first link was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304402 and it pointed me to the link I just posted. | 04:16 |

| xbxbxb | Flannel: too complicated to explain. | 04:17 |
| Dabbu | abaddon3k:u musthave forgotten ur user name or password | 04:17 |
| chubs_ | talexb_, this is a more complete guide. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html | 04:17 |
| JaseX_ | did you add any caps to your username? abaddon3k | 04:17 |
| chubs_ | including the editing of the exports file | 04:17 |
| darkbishop | izinucs:its nvidia gforce 6000.... i try using the command "sudo apt-get installenvy-gtk" but its not working | 04:17 |
| abaddon3k | dabbu: nope, didnt forget it. no caps. i've reinstalled multiple times with the same issue | 04:17 |
| Flannel | xbxbxb: Something an init script wouldn't be able to do? | 04:17 |
| JaseX_ | abaddon3k: caps matter on linux, both in user name and password, if that doesn't work... go into recovery mode and use the 'adduser' command | 04:17 |
| JaseX_ | and manually add anew user | 04:17 |
| xbxbxb | Flannel: is running something from an init script equivalent to running it as root? | 04:18 |
| JaseX_ | it's pretty straight forward abaddon3k | 04:18 |
| Xcerca | does amarok have a lirc pluging , does anyone know of a music player that does ? | 04:18 |
| chubs_ | xbxbxb, yes. | 04:18 |
| Flannel | xbxbxb: Yeah | 04:18 |
| abaddon3k | jaseX_: hrm, i haven't tried that yet, i'll give it a shot | 04:18 |
| chubs_ | Xcerca, thought it did | 04:18 |
| JaseX_ | it should work abaddon3k if not, there's something erred with your CD installer probably. | 04:18 |
| Xcerca | chubs_ do you control yours with a remote ? | 04:18 |
| xbxbxb | Flannel: I'll check that out then | 04:18 |
| xbxbxb | thanks | 04:18 |
| abaddon3k | that doesn't work, i'll just have to reload the live CD and try asking again | 04:18 |
| JaseX_ | or try making a new livecd | 04:19 |
| chubs_ | Xcerca, I don't, but I remember seeing a script for it | 04:19 |
| abaddon3k | well, i did check the integrity of the CD with the option, and it said it was fine | 04:19 |
| Xcerca | alright , thx | 04:19 |
| izinucs | darkbishop, the 6000 should have triggered the restricted drivers manager.. is this a fresh install? have you done any updates? if not .. sudo apt-get update.. sudo apt-get upgrade.. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. and then it might pop up | 04:19 |
| JaseX_ | Hmm, that's quite strange... | 04:19 |
| chubs_ | Xcerca, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/RemoteControl | 04:19 |
| JaseX_ | I don't even think i've used the check cd option myself, but that's due to my faith in my burner... :) | 04:19 |
| abaddon3k | well, after installing ubuntu well over 30 times in the last two days, i figured it couldn't hurt to try | 04:20 |
| talexb_ | Thanks chubc_, much appreciated. | 04:20 |

| Xcerca | chubs_ there are irexec commands to control amarok , linux is awesome | 04:21 |
| esac | does anybody know of good architectural software for linux | 04:22 |
| chubs_ | Xcerca, cool. and yes it is :) | 04:22 |
| JaseX_ | Like a CAD program esac? | 04:22 |
| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? | 04:22 |
| esac | JaseX_: CAD seems way too advanced. i used to use Punch! for Windows and I liked that. I don't know where the line between CAD and just floor plan software is | 04:22 |
| chubs_ | esac, there are several cad programs. there's blender for modelling but it isn't suited for engineering | 04:23 |
| hao416035 | haõ16035 | 04:23 |
| esac | chubs_: ya, that sounds too advanced for what i need | 04:23 |
| JaseX_ | CAD is just computer aided drawing pretty much... | 04:23 |
| darkbishop | izinucs:this is not a fresh installation.i use 7.10 before then i dicided to upgread it to 8.04 last nite....before this it was there.but now its not | 04:23 |
| chubs_ | esac, hm. CAD programs are usually pretty intuitive, you just want an interior design program basically? | 04:23 |
| JaseX_ | I have a little bit of experience with it esacs... but not any with punch! | 04:23 |
| JaseX_ | So... | 04:23 |
| JaseX_ | =/ | 04:23 |
| JaseX_ | Sorry mate, cannot help here... | 04:23 |
| JaseX_ | But qcad or varicad seems promising | 04:24 |
| esac | chubs_: ya, i just need to draw walls and doors and toilets and crab :) | 04:24 |
| JaseX_ | Maybe ubottu has some info? | 04:24 |

| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? | 04:25 |

| sp00n | please please? i have been doing this for like 3 hours and I should have been studying! | 04:25 |
| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? please help me! | 04:26 |
| abaddon3k | jaseX_: you are my hero | 04:26 |
| JaseX_ | esac: this page may also interest you... http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php?catId=59 | 04:26 |
| izinucs | darkbishop, once there see what driver is listed if any. | 04:26 |
| JaseX_ | abaddon3k: You're welcome. | 04:26 |
| JaseX_ | it said Punch had a silver rating in wine... | 04:26 |
| JaseX_ | Many moons ago. | 04:26 |
| abaddon3k | jaseX_: i seriously can't believe it was that easy. i've been trying a whole range of things | 04:26 |
| JaseX_ | So it may be even better support now. | 04:27 |
| JaseX_ | abaddon3k: some things can be incredibly simple, when people have had similar problems :D | 04:27 |
| chubs_ | JaseX_, or worse | 04:27 |
| abaddon3k | jaseX_: now what about my root password. i have no idea what that is | 04:27 |

| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? | 04:28 |
| sp00n | I am trying to get streaming movs to play. anyone please? | 04:28 |
| JaseX | I forgot how to identify and register a nick on freenode so brb so I can refresh my knowledge. | 04:28 |
| JaseX | abaddon3k: hm it would've been the passowrd for the original user | 04:28 |
| joe_ | sp00n: wihich browser | 04:28 |
| error404notfound | hi! anyone has any experience on setting mod-survey on ubuntu? | 04:28 |
| JaseX | if not the command from recovery 'gpasswd -a <user> sudo' should work abaddon3k | 04:29 |
| JaseX | I'm not sure on the context or validity, or if that's the right group. | 04:29 |
| JaseX | But that'll make your current password work | 04:29 |
| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? | 04:29 |
| sp00n | joe: any. i have tried in firefox and konqueror. it would be more convenient to get it working in a browser that isn't opera, even though that's my preferred browser because my school's class site doesn't load properly in opera | 04:29 |
| JaseX | abaddon3k: as I think about it... your password you just made should work in sudo. | 04:29 |
| abaddon3k | and i have to do it from the recovery, or can i do it from the terminal | 04:30 |
| JaseX | But still may have to be added to the sudo group first anyway abaddon3k | 04:30 |
| JaseX | Well you cannot use gpasswd without root access so recovery terminal would be best bet. | 04:30 |
| digitalfiz | can someone help me with my issue with a usb capture device and ubuntu 8.04 here is the link for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924504 | 04:30 |

| joe_ | sp00n: I was thinking maybe the Mozilla MPlayer plugin | 04:30 |
| darkbishop | izinucs:just driver for my input device and mouse.non for video device. | 04:30 |
| JaseX | Can anyone confirm gpasswd -a user group is the right syntax for me? | 04:30 |
| digitalfiz | vlc has a plugin for firefox also | 04:31 |
| darkbishop | x | 04:31 |
| sp00n | joe_, neither of those work | 04:31 |
| bullgard4 | Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? | 04:32 |

| RogerBacon | can someone tell me why KILLALL dosn't need root passwd before killing a process ? | 04:32 |
| sp00n | joe_, mplayer attempts to load the streaming file in the external player, and pops up an error message "no stream found", which is incorrect because it works on the XP machine. VLC plugin displays a black "no video" window instead of playing. | 04:32 |
| Joker_-__ | sry | 04:32 |
| joe_ | Sp00n: not a perfect fix but can you copy the link for the video and paste it into vlc or mplayer | 04:33 |
| JaseX | abaddon3k: if that's not right the terminal will give you info with... | 04:33 |
| darkbishop | izinucs:if you think 600X800 is ok.. then yeah its working fine. | 04:33 |
| JaseX | gpasswd --help | 04:33 |
| digitalfiz | RogerBacon, killall should only need root if its killing a process root owns | 04:33 |
| chubs_ | 600x800, that's one goofy monitor | 04:33 |
| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? | 04:33 |

| izinucs | darkbishop, nope.. try .. sudo -s xrandr <resolution> ... like .. sudo -s xrandr 1280x1024.. or whatever you need | 04:34 |
| abaddon3k | JaseX: hrm, can i also use that to change the password on the orginal account i made? i;m looking at my users screen and that account still exsists, but i don't know what the pass is set at | 04:34 |
| JaseX | no. | 04:34 |
| JaseX | that'd be just plain passwd | 04:34 |
| zuhri | my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? | 04:34 |
| sp00n | joe_, I can't, because it's a javascripted sendback...I don't have access to the URL. And mplayer tries to open it in the player manually and says "no stream found", which I know is wrong. | 04:34 |
| JaseX | gpasswd is for groups I believe | 04:34 |

| izinucs | darkbishop, sounds like it's working.. ? | 04:48 |
| darkbishop | izinucs:yeah alot.like installing the header and stoping the X thing.. thxx | 04:48 |
| izinucs | darkbishop, np.. glad it's fixed for you | 04:48 |
| vejan738 | say rm cannot remove- no such file or directory | 04:49 |
| Gemmie78 | Hmm it's so strange I'm having this issue with the external hdd | 04:49 |
| vejan738 | i do a ls in that directory and the file is still listed | 04:49 |

| Flannel | vejan738: so what line are you using to remove it? | 04:51 |
| izinucs | vejan738, if the file name has a space then when trying to remove it put quoted around the file name. | 04:51 |
| vejan738 | sudo rm -rf Selma Hayek.jpg | 04:51 |
| joe_ | what are the rules about links, I wanna post a link to sp00n? | 04:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | vejan738: If it has spaces in it you need to surround the file-name with " " quote marks if using the command-line | 04:51 |
| zuhri | why my network manager not detected AP? but if i use kismet ican. | 04:51 |
| XiXaQ | izinucs, to recommend someone to install a package, please use apturls instead, like "Open apt://nvidia-settings in Firefox". Newbies often get the impression that it's necessary to use the terminal to accomplish even the simplest things. | 04:52 |

| Gemmie78 | Hello? | 04:53 |

| abaddon3k | is there any way of changing the administrator password if you don't know it? | 04:55 |
| vejan738 | gemmie78- how is the flash drive formatted as? | 04:56 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, yes, you can boot into ubuntu in single user mode, or Resque Mode. That gives your root privileges, and can change a users password. | 04:56 |
| Gemmie78 | That's cool, basically I've got an external hdd, it's a notebook hdd in an enclosure. It works via usb for my macbook and on my windows PC but it fails to mount in ubuntu | 04:56 |
| Gemmie78 | I'm not entirely sure of the formatting, but I was told to format it in such a way that both mac and windows should be able to read it | 04:56 |
| zuhri | what wrong with my question? why don't anybody help me. | 04:56 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ what command do i use to change another users password? | 04:57 |

| abaddon3k | is there some kind of option to target another user? cause i tried that and it asked for the old password 1st | 04:58 |
| vejan738 | mac and windows uses 2 different formats | 04:58 |
| Gemmie78 | Is there a way I can find out without switching over | 04:58 |
| izinucs | unless formatted with fat32 | 04:58 |
| Gemmie78 | I believe the format is ntfs | 04:58 |
| Gemmie78 | or something | 04:58 |
| joe_ | sp00n: I can't play quicktime either | 04:58 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, if you run it as your own user, then you may only change your own password. It's reasonable to require that user to know his own password. However, if you're already logged in as root, you won't be asked about old passwords. | 04:58 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ thank you very much. i'll restart and give it a try | 04:59 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, you'd do passwd username. | 04:59 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ ok | 04:59 |
| sp00n | joe_, oh bummer. I've been doing a lot of research and apparently it's a fairly common issue. I have tried the vlc plugin, mplayer, and gxine | 04:59 |
| digitalfiz | Gemmie78, check out ext2ifs for windows then i think there is a utility for osx to read ext2 also | 04:59 |
| vejan738 | think u have to format as fat32 | 04:59 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, if you only run passwd, then you'll be setting a password for the root account. Don't do that unless you know why you're doing it. | 04:59 |
| digitalfiz | fat32 has a 4gb file size limit | 04:59 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, if you have sudo access, then you can just do sudo passwd username. | 05:00 |
| raul1 | hi everyone.., i just installed Nexuiz on ubuntu, and it starts but a blank screen and all i hear is music any help? | 05:00 |
| Ninesvnsicks | hey I'm having a problem flash player isn't installing for firefox. | 05:00 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ i dont have sudo access from this account, which is why i need to change the password on the admin account | 05:00 |
| joe_ | sp00n: it took me forever to find mov embedded to see | 05:00 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, right. Then you'll need to boot into resque mode. | 05:00 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ for whatever reason when i install ubuntu and started it up for the 1st time it wouldn't accept the login info i supplied at start up | 05:01 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ so on the advice of another user i created this account and was able to atleast login, but i still have no access to anything | 05:01 |
| esac | this may be off topic, but if anybody knows a good shop that sells computers with ubuntu pre-installed id appreciate it. dell seems ovepriced for my needs | 05:01 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, capslock issue maybe? Or maybe misaligned hands when you typed and confirmed the password? :) | 05:01 |
| Flannel | esac: #ubuntu-offtopic is the best place to ask that | 05:02 |
| raul1 | esac, why don't you ask them not to install windows and install ubuntu your self? | 05:02 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ i thought the same thing, so i reinstalled. over 30 times later it still gave me the same issues | 05:02 |
| raul1 | i just installed Nexuiz on ubuntu, and it starts but a blank screen and all i hear is music any help? | 05:02 |
| esac | Flannel: thanks ill ask there | 05:02 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, that sounds very strange. | 05:02 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ everyone i've asked about it hasn't figured it out | 05:02 |
| esac | raul1: because i want them to run a burn in test on the hardware before shipping it my way | 05:02 |
| CorbinFox | i am using funpidgin in 8.04, but it doesnt have spell checker, is this normal? | 05:02 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, I've never heard of anything similar before. | 05:02 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ so i'm just trying to work around it. | 05:02 |
| raul1 | ok well ubuntu has never failed any of the computers ive installed it on | 05:02 |
| sp00n | joe_, it appears I would have to try it under Wine...I'll check that out, and I also run VirtualBox so I could just load it up in IE on XP because I know it works OK in windows...assuming I can get Quicktime working on VBox | 05:03 |
| raul1 | but enver hruts to be precaustious | 05:03 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ i found one post on a forum through google that had the same issue, but no one responed to it | 05:03 |
| Ninesvnsicks | can anyone help me install flash player? | 05:03 |
| esac | raul1: ive had a couple pieces of hardware that dont play well with ubuntu. rare, but i wont to make sure before i take possession | 05:03 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, right. Resque mode should... resque you. | 05:03 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ yes, i hope it works. either way i'll be back and let you know | 05:04 |
| zuhri | why not detect AP my network manager?? | 05:04 |
| raul1 | so nobody ever heard any problems with nexuiz? | 05:04 |
| raul1 | the fps game? | 05:04 |
| raul1 | it opens but a blank screen all i hear is the music :( | 05:04 |
| vejan738 | wrong video driver? | 05:04 |
| Ninesvnsicks | it's saying enter a valid path but /usr/lib/mozilla isn't working | 05:04 |
| XiXaQ | Ninesvnsicks, make sure you have Restricted enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources. Then open apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras in Firefox. | 05:05 |
| raul1 | vejan738: me?, no i definatley have the correct one semi-nice one at that. | 05:05 |
| vejan738 | hardware match the min hardware requirements? | 05:05 |
| raul1 | above | 05:05 |
| raul1 | x3 | 05:05 |
| DARKGuy | Yay. Ubuntu fails at recognizing my CRT's 1280x1024@60Hz maximum resolution :P | 05:05 |
| XiXaQ | DARKGuy, is that a question or a bug report? | 05:06 |
| DARKGuy | XiXaQ, could be both. I need to add the res manually now :( | 05:06 |
| Ninesvnsicks | restriceted is on | 05:06 |
| joe_ | sp00n: I would say for tonight Vbox is you best bet... I just checked my win2k install in Vbox and it plays there | 05:06 |
| XiXaQ | Ninesvnsicks, then open the url I gave you? | 05:06 |
| Gemmie78 | I'll check it out | 05:07 |
| DARKGuy | XiXaQ, where can I fill a bug report? | 05:07 |
| Ninesvnsicks | bash: apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras: No such file or directory | 05:07 |
| raul1 | anyone with moer knowlage of ubuntulinux then me under stand this?How can I place a shortcut to Nexuiz on my Linux desktop? Use the script nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh or nexuiz-linux-glx.sh instead of the binaries. The scripts will use the correct working directory,choose the right version (32 or 64 bit) and also allow you to start a extra X server. | 05:07 |
| XiXaQ | DARKGuy, on www.launchpad.net | 05:07 |
| XiXaQ | Ninesvnsicks, in Firefox. It's a url. | 05:07 |
| DARKGuy | XiXaQ, thanks :) | 05:07 |
| Ninesvnsicks | oh ok got it | 05:08 |
| XiXaQ | Ninesvnsicks, maybe you can even click it, if your irc client supports it. | 05:08 |
| uriel_ | can some1 tell me how to install adobe flash plz help i dont know how to donload from the abobe website | 05:08 |
| dfgas | how do i get my kernel to panic on purpose? i want to try something. | 05:08 |
| vejan738 | read the download instructions | 05:08 |
| XiXaQ | uriel_, make sure you have Restricted enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources. Then open apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras in Firefox. | 05:08 |
| uriel_ | thnx | 05:09 |
| bullgard4 | Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? | 05:09 |
| sp00n | joe_, i am tryin it in vbox right now...i dont have quicktime installed tho | 05:09 |
| bullgard4 | Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Ubuntu computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? | 05:09 |
| zeelot | hey guys, installed 64bit ubuntu today (8.04) and now I can't seem to checkout a repository with kdesvn or rapidsvn anymore, I get PROPFIND of '/': 403 Forbidden, anyone know why? I dont even get a login prompt | 05:09 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ thank you so much, your advice worked | 05:10 |
| Ninesvnsicks | nice thanks | 05:10 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, great. :) | 05:10 |
| sullyva86 | Anybody know why in firefox my flash plays but with no sound? Is this common? | 05:10 |
| abaddon3k | XiXaQ after three days of trying, i can finally sit down and run linux :) | 05:10 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, I'm happy for you. :) | 05:11 |
| physically_fit | sullyva86, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 05:11 |
| XiXaQ | sullyva86, there is a problem when something else is using the sound interface. Try closing any media players, etc and restart firefox to see if that helps. | 05:11 |
| fyrestrtr | zeelot: that has nothing to do with Ubuntu, check the repo admin | 05:11 |
| abaddon3k | well, if i have any more questions i know where to come to when google fails me. | 05:11 |
| afterhelp | hi folks... I was in here earlier with a problem installing ubuntu.. | 05:12 |
| afterhelp | and I've got a couple more questions :-) | 05:12 |
| zeelot | fyrestrtr: it works fine from other computers, problem only started when I installed 64bit ubuntu | 05:12 |
| XiXaQ | abaddon3k, also remember the Questions pages on www.launchpad.net | 05:12 |
| afterhelp | I've attempted install of a dual boot thing - on a new hard disc which has XP already installed.... | 05:12 |
| joe_ | yah close all media players, mine works that way as well | 05:12 |
| sullyva86 | XiXaQ: Oh ok yeah i do have vlc open too thanks | 05:12 |
| afterhelp | after completing the install from the live CD - grub fails to startup, and I just get windows :-( | 05:12 |
| fyrestrtr | zeelot: specify the credentials on the commandline, its picking up a set of credentials that don't match. | 05:12 |
| fyrestrtr | zeelot: use svn co and see if that works. | 05:13 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, have you considered changing the sound server from pulse to alsa? i have done so and can use multiple sound apps | 05:13 |
| afterhelp | and if it's material - windows can no longer 'see' the partition with Ubuntu... my 250gig drive shows as 25 gig (which is what I'd like to leave windows....) | 05:13 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Why isn't it set to alsa by default then? Is there some disadvantage to changing it? | 05:13 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, you can find out | 05:13 |
| bullgard4 | afterhelp: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html | 05:13 |
| zeelot | fyrestrtr: svn co does the same thing | 05:13 |
| fyrestrtr | zeelot: how are you using it? | 05:14 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, i also made use of a prog called aoss to help multiple wine apps share the soundserver too | 05:14 |
| darkbishop | to all:im trying to install VLC.... but it came out "E: Broken packages"... any idea y its happen? | 05:14 |

| tuananhcoltech20 | dlfjhe | 05:15 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, one thing to test though is : set your machine to hibernate...then resume it...now try to play audio...furthermore...try to restart... | 05:15 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: I can find out? lol nahh i'll just do one at a time then its not a big deal. Unless its simple to switch back n forth i don't want to risk messing up my install. Xixaq's advice worked. | 05:15 |
| XiXaQ | afterhelp, Windows isn't able to view Ubuntu partitions. You can install support for it though. Have a look at www.fs-driver.org | 05:15 |
| bullgard4 | tuananhcoltech20: Stop it. | 05:16 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, its not difficult...you change an option in a dropdown menu | 05:16 |
| afterhelp | is there anything I can do from the live CD to try and kickstart Grub into opening? | 05:16 |
| tech | hi | 05:16 |
| atul | join #debian | 05:16 |
| ryan_ | What is a good sceen color grabber for Ubuntu. One that, on click, puts the screen color under the cursor onto the clipboard. | 05:16 |
| _Zeus_ | atul: huh? | 05:16 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: in sound preferences? | 05:16 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, system -> preferences -> mutlimedia system selector | 05:16 |
| atul | _Zeus_, by mistake... | 05:16 |
| airtonix | sullyva86,if 'mutlimedia system selector' isnt there, you have to enable the menu entry by editing the menus...right click it and edit menu.. | 05:17 |
| afterhelp | to be a bit more clear... my install shows as successful, everything completes etc. - but on reboot I simply head into windows... | 05:17 |
| dr3mro | hi i installed alsa 1.18rc how to downgrade to alsa 1.17 | 05:17 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: OK where do i find it in the add menu's? | 05:18 |
| airtonix | sullyva86,you also change the soundserver vlc uses in its preferences from pulse to alsa | 05:18 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Oh ok that might be easier | 05:18 |
| airtonix | sullyva86,down the bottom...system -> preferences -> multimedia sysmte selector... it will be unticked maybe | 05:18 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, this is required too | 05:18 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: oh ok i found it | 05:19 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: apparently i'm already using alsa lol | 05:19 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Oh wait thats for input | 05:19 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, now you need to get aoss too and make sure all your apps use alsa rather than pulse | 05:19 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Wait so what do i change in that menu then? | 05:20 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, isnt it obvious? output to alsa | 05:21 |
| roe_ | what kernel is shipped with 7.10? | 05:22 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Well it was on autodetect i wasn't sure | 05:22 |
| Flannel | roe_: how specific do you need? | 05:23 |
| roe_ | 2.6.26? | 05:23 |
| Flannel | !info linux-image-generic feisty | 05:23 |
| ubot3 | Package linux-image-generic does not exist in feisty | 05:23 |
| Flannel | !info linux-image gutsy | 05:23 |
| ubot3 | Package linux-image does not exist in gutsy | 05:23 |
| Flannel | blah | 05:23 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, although this is a page for world of warcraft...it deatils the use of aoss on apps ...section to look at is voice chat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 05:24 |
| roe_ | hehe | 05:24 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: So you really did this you manually went in and set all your apps to alsa? | 05:24 |
| Flannel | roe_: 2.6.22 | 05:24 |
| Flannel | roe_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=gutsy&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image | 05:24 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, think so, i can have multiple apps playing sound | 05:24 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, that gui you went into to change the sound server is bascially the gstreamer soundserver chooser...so totem is affected by that but vlc will need to be changed manually | 05:25 |
| darkbishop | !sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc libdvdcss2 | 05:26 |
| ubot3 | darkbishop: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:26 |
| DARKGuy | Uh, okay, could anybody please explain me why if I added my resolution manually in xorg.conf, it isn't being used or even detected in the "Screen resolutions" app? this is my xorg: http://rafb.net/p/c04aDC46.html | 05:26 |
| DARKGuy | And yes I've tried ctrl+backspace | 05:26 |
| r3c0n | hey ppl | 05:26 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Oh duh thats right. Another reason why people don't switch from windows why wouldn't it just work from a default install. I don't remember having this issue back in the older versions of ubuntu though. | 05:26 |
| r3c0n | just got ubuntu workin and its great | 05:27 |
| r3c0n | a newbie | 05:27 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, i've had worse sound problems on windows | 05:27 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, windows != ordained from god | 05:27 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: lol god... ok... | 05:28 |

| danny | Anyone know how to get Microsoft (shudder) Flight Simulator to run in Ubuntu? I've been trying through WINE for days | 05:32 |
| r3c0n | try wine | 05:32 |
| r3c0n | or another os | 05:33 |
| r3c0n | from vmware | 05:33 |
| danny | It installs... hangs on the loading screen though. Same with XPlane. And just about every program that uses a load screen. | 05:33 |
| r3c0n | i think there is a vmware for linux right ? | 05:33 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, it's not recommendable to run such applications under vmware. | 05:33 |
| airtonix | danny, have youlooked on the wine database for others experiences? | 05:33 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, there is a vmware for linux, yes. There are other virtualization solutions too. | 05:33 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: thanks i'll try it | 05:33 |
| r3c0n | might be mine is the last hope | 05:34 |

| === samba is now known as Guest38233 | ||
| r3c0n | why use static when we have dhcp ? | 05:36 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: /etc/network/interfaces <-- pastebin this file | 05:37 |
| r3c0n | write a script to set the static ip | 05:37 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, bad idea. | 05:37 |
| r3c0n | maybe | 05:37 |
| Flannel | r3c0n: Because static IPs are useful. | 05:37 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: ok hold on | 05:38 |
| r3c0n | dont agree | 05:38 |
| DARKGuy | yay it works at last | 05:38 |
| DARKGuy | atrus42, whats your issue? | 05:38 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49168/ | 05:38 |
| atrus42 | my computer hates me..won't let me change my resolution, won't accept my video card drivers | 05:38 |
| Emmett | Okay, quick question. | 05:38 |
| Emmett | We changed the server IP of an ubuntu server install. | 05:39 |
| Emmett | restarted networking. | 05:39 |
| DARKGuy | atrus42, ouch. ATI ? | 05:39 |
| Emmett | sshed into the machine, no problem. | 05:39 |
| Emmett | but now it's locking out ssh attempts. | 05:39 |
| atrus42 | yes | 05:39 |
| Emmett | it worked fine five minutes ago. | 05:39 |
| atrus42 | and normally I'd just say...well it must just be ATI support sucks | 05:39 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: i get this error message after i restarted my network interface : http://paste.ubuntu.com/49169/ | 05:39 |
| atrus42 | but these drivers worked before | 05:39 |
| XiXaQ | Emmett, try to contain your question within a single message. We're 1256 users in here. | 05:40 |
| tomkelleher | Hi. I just installed the server edition, and for some reason Gnome wont load. I'm thinking its a video driver issue, the machine as ATI Crossfires. Is my guess correct and if so is there a way to download a correct driver in command line. | 05:40 |
| atrus42 | so logic would dictate that they should be able to work again. | 05:40 |
| XiXaQ | tomkelleher, there is no gui in the server install, unless you've installed it manually afterwards? | 05:40 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: dmesg | grep -i eth <-- pastebin output of that | 05:40 |
| Emmett | We changed the server IP of an ubuntu server install. ssh'ed into the machine, no problem. But now it's locking out ssh attempts when it worked fine minutes ago. | 05:40 |
| DARKGuy | atrus42, hmm well I don't have much experience with ATI, but if you can get the drivers working there, I can help you with X.org configuring. I'm mostly an NVIDIA guy :P | 05:40 |
| r3c0n | what is the easiest way to add a partition to grub ?? | 05:41 |
| atrus42 | I'd love a decent nvidia graphics card | 05:41 |
| XiXaQ | Emmett, you're connecting to the new ip? | 05:41 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49171/ | 05:41 |
| tomkelleher | XiXaQ, I chose to install "Ubuntu Desktop" during install which should be gnome correct | 05:41 |
| fyrestrtr | r3c0n: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:41 |
| dn4 | would ubuntu be capable of being installed on a pentium pro 200? | 05:41 |
| XiXaQ | tomkelleher, right. Do you get any error messages? | 05:41 |
| Emmett | XiXaQ: Yes. | 05:41 |
| Emmett | XiXaQ: I connected to the new IP successfully once. | 05:41 |
| woli | how do i make thunderbird my default email application? | 05:42 |
| Emmett | XiXaQ: Now, no long. | 05:42 |
| Emmett | love. | 05:42 |
| XiXaQ | dn4, it should, yes. Depends on the amount of ram though. It requires at least 256MB RAM. | 05:42 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: in your /etc/network/interfaces, change eth0 to eth1 | 05:42 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: then it will stick with the static IP | 05:42 |
| tomkelleher | XiXaQ, no thats the odd thing, I can hear everything load up. The "bong" for the login screen, and I can login and I hear the login music. But no image. | 05:42 |
| smm281 | if I copy everything in my home folder to say a USB drive. Install any distro of linux to another computer and then replace the new home folder with the home folder on my USB drive, will the new installation of linux have all the settings and installed applications of the origonal linux that I coppied the home folder from | 05:42 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: ok let me try | 05:42 |
| atrus42 | actually what had happened is, I had an ATI card installed, and it was working ok, but I couldn't get ruby or compiz or whatever it's called now working right. The net said it's because it is only support by nvidia cards, so I had an old card that the fan had died on (which is when I got the ATI card in the first place) which I thought I had fixed, so I tried it, but it didn't work. | 05:42 |
| dn4 | XiXaQ, ok | 05:42 |
| XiXaQ | tomkelleher, try pressing alt+ctrl+f7? | 05:43 |
| atrus42 | so I uninstalled the nvidia driver and tried to reinstall ati, but it isn't taking | 05:43 |
| tomkelleher | XiXaQ, right that should give me a command line right? | 05:43 |
| error404notfound | I have installed mod-survey on ubuntu on apache 2.0.x and mod_perl 2.0.x, now when I restart apache I get: http://pastebin.com/m36cddf82 and upon accessing the site I get 404... | 05:43 |
| XiXaQ | tomkelleher, no, that should give you the gdm. | 05:43 |

| Cheeky | " | 05:44 |
| atrus42 | so I'd like to get a decent nvidia card, but AGP cards in general are hard to come by | 05:44 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49172/ | 05:44 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, you can use startup manager, or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:44 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: that's fine, did you change all eth0 to eth1 ? | 05:44 |
| PrivateRolf | !fglrx | atrus42 | 05:44 |
| ubot3 | atrus42: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:44 |
| r3c0n | the most difficult challenge i think is wireless on linux | 05:44 |
| PrivateRolf | Doh. | 05:44 |
| PrivateRolf | My bad. | 05:44 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, wireless is nice. Drivers are difficult when the manufacturers won't make drivers for their hardware. | 05:45 |
| atrus42 | I've been through all of that...followed everything step by step, but when I do the fglrxinfo command, and it is supposed to bring up "ati" as the vendor it doesn't | 05:45 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces again | 05:45 |
| r3c0n | thats what i mean not every linux supports every driver card | 05:45 |

| smm281 | if I copy my home folder to a USB drive, install a new version of linux on a fresh PC and then copy the home folder from the USB drive to the new system will the new install of linux be just like the origonal that I copied the home folder from | 05:46 |
| woli | nvm... System > Preferences > Prefered Applications | 05:46 |

| rockstrongo | For wireless I have had very good results with the rt73 for major distributions | 05:46 |
| r3c0n | i tried it for a long time on some pentest linux for months but on ubuntu it did it in one day | 05:46 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, it's not legal. It can't be done. | 05:46 |
| Emmett | XiXaQ: Apparently someone else just connected for a brief moment and got reset off of the machine after running an ls | 05:46 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: change auto eth0 to auto eth1 | 05:47 |
| XiXaQ | Emmett, sounds strange. I don't know what the problem might be. | 05:47 |
| r3c0n | its because it downloaded the driver from the net it self how smart is that ????? | 05:47 |
| XiXaQ | Emmett, try #ubuntu-server. | 05:47 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, I don't understand that question. | 05:47 |
| r3c0n | good hardware support | 05:47 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: ill paste bacjk the file when doen | 05:47 |
| r3c0n | A+++ | 05:48 |
| r3c0n | dont worry | 05:48 |
| r3c0n | what is the easiest way to add a partition to the grub again ?? | 05:48 |
| fyrestrtr | r3c0n: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:48 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, did you read my last message? | 05:48 |
| r3c0n | no missed it | 05:48 |
| r3c0n | i closed irc by mistake | 05:48 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, look for it then. | 05:48 |
| XiXaQ | r3c0n, I repeated it for you when you got back. | 05:49 |
| r3c0n | im blind | 05:49 |
| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: i think it worked..when i s\restarted it i just got this line back does this mean it works ? " Reconfiguring network interfaces... " OK | 05:49 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: yes, this means everything is normal. | 05:49 |
| deadsouls | does anyone know of any simple text editors that can categorize files by tags? | 05:49 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: check your config with ifconfig | 05:49 |
| r3c0n | ok im in grub | 05:50 |
| r3c0n | how do we add the partition sda4 for backtrack ? | 05:50 |
| tomkelleher | XiXaQ, I just tried Ctrl+Alt+F7, nothing has come up on the monitor. | 05:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Emmet: did the /etc/ssh/sshd_config have ListenAddress set? | 05:50 |
| r3c0n | it only allows 4sda s | 05:50 |
| fyrestrtr | what's on sda4 ? | 05:50 |
| bullgard4 | Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Ubuntu computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? | 05:50 |

| Cheeky | fyrestrtr: ok thank you and if i wanted to shutdown the server remotely would it be sudo shutdown ? | 05:51 |
| XiXaQ | tomkelleher, Try all the other alt+ctrl+f1-12 :) If that doesn't work, try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 05:51 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: sudo shutdown -h now | 05:51 |
| fyrestrtr | Cheeky: that will do immediately | 05:51 |
| XiXaQ | Cheeky, shut down or restart? | 05:52 |

| IntuitiveNipple | pptical: See the "Patterns" section | 05:57 |
| fyrestrtr | bunnyto: no it won't. | 05:57 |
| bunnyto | fyrestrtr: no way!!! its to remove all Gnome they are around 1000 packages | 05:57 |
| r3c0n | sudo apt-get does it download the softwares from the internet or from /root ?? | 05:58 |
| r3c0n | when installing | 05:58 |
| fyrestrtr | r3c0n: where do you think the software is located? | 05:58 |
| r3c0n | donno | 05:58 |
| Daft_Punk | r3c0n, sudo (super user execute) apt-get will get it from synaptic package manager | 05:58 |
| r3c0n | from harddisk u mean | 05:58 |
| bunnyto | fyrestrtr: The following packages will be REMOVED: abiword gnome abiword-common abiword-help abiword-plugin-goffice kde-base | 05:58 |
| r3c0n | from the ubuntu library | 05:59 |
| jimisrvrox | r3c0n..if the software was on the disk you wouldnt have to download it | 05:59 |
| fyrestrtr | bunnyto: its okay, don't worry | 05:59 |
| Daft_Punk | r3c0n, no, it gets it on the internet, from synaptic package manager from whatever repos you have added | 05:59 |
| bunnyto | fyrestrtr: are you kidding me? i want to cancel that, not to remove gnome | 05:59 |
| fyrestrtr | bunnyto: 'gnome' is a meta package. | 05:59 |

| fyrestrtr | kwyjibo: clamav I believe has something like that. | 05:59 |
| r3c0n | ok and why do we have to type sudo infront of every command and cant log in as root user how come ?? | 05:59 |
| fyrestrtr | kwyjibo: and there are commercial products too. | 05:59 |
| bullgard4 | Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Ubuntu computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? | 06:00 |
| jimisrvrox | I need some assistance with ndiswrapper...supposedly its on the cd havent been able to find it cant find it in syn..figured id have to get it off the net.. | 06:00 |
| Daft_Punk | r3c0n, logging in as root is a major security threat. sudo means (super user execute) so that the specific command you just typed has all privileges to execute and install | 06:00 |
| r3c0n | ndiswrapper is full in forums | 06:00 |
| semtex | Does anyone know where I can get help with xming | 06:00 |
| Daft_Punk | r3c0n, you do not have to type sudo infront of every command, only infront of commands that require it such as installing items | 06:00 |
| jimisrvrox | r3c0n..it is the worst thing you can do is to log in as root..so you do sudo to get root access while being on another username..its why linux is better because you dont have to operate as root and so its a security thing | 06:01 |
| r3c0n | ok cool | 06:01 |
| pptical | IntuitiveNipple it says to provide the net/mask pair for a range.. but what if the range is 58.14.0.0 to 58.25.255.255? | 06:01 |
| pptical | IntuitiveNipple would i have to provide net/mask for each? | 06:01 |
| r3c0n | ok i get it how can i get all the softwares if it refuses to install it under sudo ?? | 06:02 |
| jimisrvrox | r3c0n..thats the biggest windows pitfall is that it allows total access to everything as a single user so that is why linux is better because its not as easy to delete important files so its a big security advantage | 06:02 |

| JaseX | phantomcircuit: I'm not sure then... sounds like your drive. | 06:10 |
| danbh_intrepid | grendal_prime: have you installed medibuntu stuff? | 06:10 |
| r3c0n | and does kismet work on ubuntu ? | 06:10 |
| zcat[1] | .. not just a simple 'you don't have dvdccss2' error | 06:10 |
| ianq | JaseX: how do i find that out? | 06:10 |
| grendal_prime | ya, its one of those werid dvds | 06:10 |
| phantomcircuit | [00000300] dvdread demuxer error: read failed for 0/4 blocks at 0x96d30 | 06:10 |
| zcat[1] | It might depend on the drive though | 06:10 |
| r3c0n | i installed it but there was a problem starting it ... | 06:10 |
| JaseX | ianq: open up gnome-terminal and type in 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' | 06:10 |
| grendal_prime | i can play other dvd's no problems this one is like..ummm hold on ill get the name of the app on it | 06:10 |
| fyrestrtr | phantomcircuit: Its. A. Bad. Disc. | 06:11 |
| ianq | JaseX: installing right now. by the way, i'm running kde | 06:11 |
| zcat[1] | there's also regionset if you feel bad about breaking the law | 06:11 |
| zcat[1] | !regionset | 06:11 |
| ubot3 | Factoid regionset not found | 06:11 |
| JaseX | and then goto medibuntu, and follow it's setup and install w32codecs | 06:11 |
| zcat[1] | !info regionset | 06:11 |
| ubot3 | Package regionset does not exist in hardy | 06:11 |
| phantomcircuit | fyrestrtr, there are crc32 checksums on dvds right? is there someway i can run that manually? | 06:11 |
| JaseX | ianq than use kubuntu-restricted-extras instead | 06:11 |
| zcat[1] | wtf, it does too... | 06:11 |
| grendal_prime | InterActual Player Read Me | 06:11 |
| JaseX | !info region-set | 06:11 |
| ubot3 | Package region-set does not exist in hardy | 06:11 |
| * JaseX shrugs then. | 06:12 | |
| grendal_prime | ya its a pain in the ass thing. | 06:12 |
| zcat[1] | regionset - view and modify the region code of DVD drives | 06:12 |
| JaseX | ianq: do you know how to add an additional sofwtware source? | 06:12 |
| ianq | JaseX: is that in sources.list? | 06:12 |
| JaseX | yes. | 06:12 |
| grendal_prime | i can read the filesystem though. is there another way to extract the vob i need just to view the thing...fk this sucks ass | 06:13 |
| ianq | JaseX: then yes | 06:13 |
| JaseX | but www.medibuntu.org has easier instructions | 06:13 |
| zcat[1] | It's in gNewSense .. it ought to be in ubuntu somewhere.. perhaps it's in medibuntu but I don't know why.. it sets the region in the drive's firmware so plays dvd's the 'legal' way afaik | 06:13 |
| JaseX | cause you'll also want w32codecs :D | 06:13 |
| JaseX | especially if it's a wmv file | 06:13 |
| ezzieyguywuf | can someone explain to me what the /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh script does? its a simple two liner but I don't know what the commands do, or why there is a dot (.) at the beginning of the first line. thanks | 06:13 |
| JaseX | I think i've become too dependent on ubuntu... I was just sitting noticing I had no lighter and randomly thought... "Gee I should perfom sudo apt-get install lighter" | 06:14 |
| zcat[1] | ezzieyguywuf, it's the script that runs when you press the sleep button.. and ". script' does the same or similar to 'sh script' -- runs a script in a subshell | 06:15 |
| ianq | JaseX: how do i use medibuntu to install the codecs? | 06:15 |
| danbh_intrepid | !medibuntu | ianq | 06:16 |
| ubot3 | ianq: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 06:16 |
| zcat[1] | 'sudo apt-get me a sandwich | 06:16 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: yea I know that its what runs when I press the sleep button. so the first line basically just runs /usr/shar/acpi-support/key-constants ? and what does that last line do? | 06:16 |
| ianq | yeah i'm on that website | 06:16 |
| zcat[1] | ezzieyguywuf, dunno, haven't bothered actually looking at the script ;) | 06:16 |
| phantomcircuit | fyrestrtr, yeah your right the dvd is fucked | 06:17 |
| Zhane | how to use lan for networking, wlan for internet together huh? | 06:17 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: could you take a looke please :-[ | 06:17 |
| phantomcircuit | fuck you amazon, fuck you | 06:17 |
| zcat[1] | ezzieyguywuf, first line runs key-constants as a script, which probably sers a bunch of constants? | 06:17 |
| Flannel | phantomcircuit: please watch your language | 06:17 |
| DanielB12773 | does anyone know if the issuses with x86-64 ubuntu and nVidia 6600GT graphics cards are sorted out. I think X is giving me grief (ie i get weird colours after the initial splash screen - and its putting out the wrong resoloution) | 06:17 |
| oneal | Hi all ! How reg me ? | 06:17 |
| zcat[1] | well, assuming it's the same script in gNewSense ;) | 06:17 |
| danbh_intrepid | ianq: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 06:17 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: yea, that looks about right. what does "acpi_fakekey $KEY_SLEEP " do? | 06:18 |
| fyrestrtr | oneal: type /msg nickserv help register | 06:18 |
| Theban | debmirror gave me "Transfer truncated: only 868700 out of 936823 bytes received" twice (the first time may or may not have had the same bytes received) | 06:18 |
| oneal | Thank | 06:18 |
| ezzieyguywuf | fyrestrtr: what if I forgot my password for that, is there any way to recover it? | 06:18 |
| phantomcircuit | well after that i see no reason to ever buy a DVD again | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Linux computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? Is xhost suitable? | 06:18 |
| JaseX | ianq: that should solve any movie player problems, as from what you're describing seems to be lack of codecs. | 06:18 |
| fyrestrtr | ezzieyguywuf: I blieve you can from the freenode website. | 06:19 |
| zcat[1] | runs acpi_fakekey with whatever $KEY_SLEEP got sent to (some keycode?) so fakes the acpi action for pressing the sleep key? | 06:19 |
| ianq | JaseX: yes, hopefully. i'm installing the codes now | 06:19 |
| ezzieyguywuf | fyrestrtr: ok i'll check it out | 06:19 |
| JaseX | thanks zcat, was posting a highly arbitrary post in the Community Cafe. | 06:19 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: I dunno, thats what I wanna know. what is acpi_fakekey? | 06:20 |
| zcat[1] | so look at the /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants script to see what the variable gets set to, and man acpi_fakekey to see what's being done to it | 06:20 |
| OoRal | Why does this happen every time?! Shortly after I install, usually a few days, any music decides not to work and to freeze ANY PLAYER I try to play it in. What the heck is wrong with it? | 06:20 |
| Timberwolf5578 | Can someone please tell me how to change boot order? | 06:20 |
| Theban | Timberwolf5578: are you using grub? | 06:21 |
| Timberwolf5578 | yes | 06:21 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: ok, so KEY_SLEEP=142 . what exactly does that mean? | 06:21 |
| JaseX | zcat[1]: you have a message waiting, but it's not important, check it when you have some freetime. | 06:21 |
| zcat[1] | /usr/bin/acpi_fakekey (there's no man page or -h help though.. might have to read the source code to figure out what it does ;) | 06:21 |
| oneal | when enters in sale for PC GTA 4 ? | 06:21 |
| Theban | Timberwolf7778: alright, 1 moment | 06:21 |
| raul1 | how do i uncompress .rar files on ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| Timberwolf5578 | where is the boot order changer in control center? | 06:21 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: and acpi_fakekey has no man page :-/ | 06:21 |
| Theban | it's not in control center | 06:21 |
| airtonix | Timberwolf5578, there isnt one | 06:22 |
| Theban | you need to edit a file in grub | 06:22 |
| Timberwolf5578 | interesting, kde makes it so easy | 06:22 |
| leftyfb | could I get some assistance with snmp please? | 06:22 |
| raul1 | does anyone know how to get winrar or a .rar decompresser on ubuntu??? | 06:22 |
| zcat[1] | I hate commands that have no man page :( | 06:22 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: yea me too | 06:22 |
| airtonix | ezzieyguywuf, why would it ...acpi_fakekey isnt a package or a seperate piece of softare...look at its parent software or developer website | 06:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Timberwolf5578: Do you mean the order in which disk devices are searched when the system starts? | 06:22 |
| Timberwolf5578 | seems like it's more complex in gnome | 06:22 |
| OoRal | Why does this happen every time?! Shortly after I install, usually a few days, any music decides not to work and to freeze ANY PLAYER I try to play it in. What the heck is wrong with it? | 06:22 |
| danbh_intrepid | !rar | raul1 | 06:22 |
| ubot3 | raul1: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 06:22 |
| leftyfb | snmpwalk -v1 -c public 192.168.0.126 | 06:22 |
| leftyfb | Timeout: No Response from 192.168.0.126 | 06:22 |
| ezzieyguywuf | airtonix: alright, will do | 06:23 |
| Timberwolf5578 | no I mean I want my system to boot to WinXP by default | 06:23 |
| ezzieyguywuf | brb guys :-) | 06:23 |
| legend2440 | Timberwolf5578: you can change boot order with package called startupmanager | 06:23 |
| leftyfb | what do I need to put to make it listen on the actual interface as opposed to "localhost" ? | 06:23 |
| raul1 | too bad the bot is wwrong | 06:23 |
| Timberwolf5578 | ok thanks | 06:23 |
| airtonix | Timberwolf5578, investigate editing the grub menu | 06:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Timberwolf5578: okay; didn't want us to get confused. | 06:23 |
| raul1 | you can use it for ever even w/o buying it | 06:23 |
| orifice | Timberwolf5578: don't forget to backup menu.lst | 06:23 |
| airtonix | legend2440, that is for applications insde gnome i believe | 06:23 |
| JaseX | raul1: you can, but then technically you're evaluating it raul1, so the bot is not wrong. | 06:24 |
| zcat[1] | Timberwolf5578, alt-F2, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and move the 'Windows" boot entry up above the autogenerated stuff instead of below it.. | 06:24 |
| raul1 | it's wrong eaither way | 06:24 |
| JaseX | It'd be technically dishonest to continue using it with out donating, but i'm not chastising you. | 06:24 |
| raul1 | + simplr answer would have been unrar-free | 06:24 |
| raul1 | thanks for the help though. | 06:24 |
| oneal | here what city ? | 06:24 |
| JaseX | It's not wrong. The program costs, you just choose not to pay for it. | 06:24 |
| Theban | Timberwolf5578: editing the menu.lst file in /boot/grub will also change the default | 06:25 |
| JaseX | the infobot is correct. | 06:25 |
| OoRal | Why does this happen every time?! Shortly after I install, usually a few days, any music decides not to work and to freeze ANY PLAYER I try to play it in. What the heck is wrong with it? | 06:25 |
| OoRal | Does anyone have ANY clue? | 06:25 |
| JaseX | OoRal: have you installed all necessary codecs... | 06:25 |
| raul1 | anyone know how to use unrar :(? | 06:25 |
| JaseX | via medibuntu such as w32codecs, and ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 06:25 |
| OoRal | I said it was working for a few days, JaseX. | 06:25 |
| Timberwolf5578 | ok, now where will startup manager be listed? I installed it | 06:25 |
| airtonix | raul1, mana rar , man unrar | 06:25 |
| oneal | how much presently time ? | 06:25 |
| JaseX | raul1: I know how to use unrar. | 06:25 |
| zcat[1] | When the bot speaks about non-free it means 'not Freedom giving. -- You don't get the source necessary to excercise freedoms #1 and #3 | 06:26 |
| legend2440 | Timberwolf5578: system>administration | 06:26 |
| raul1 | can u show me how >_>? | 06:26 |
| JaseX | unrar -x file destination | 06:26 |
| OoRal | JaseX: I installed all the codecs because I was listening to music just two days ago | 06:26 |
| JaseX | i.e. unrar -x lol.rar ~/Desktop | 06:26 |
| JaseX | OoRal: did you install them all manually? | 06:26 |
| Timberwolf5578 | ok thanks | 06:26 |
| airtonix | raul1, go here, find all the answers to your simple questions : http://ubuntuguide.org | 06:27 |
| JaseX | or did you use the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package? | 06:27 |
| ianq | JaseX: uhm, i installed the w32 codes, but i still see only blue when playing a movie | 06:27 |
| JaseX | What kind of movie is it... | 06:27 |
| JaseX | extension I mean? | 06:27 |
| JaseX | And do you know what codec was used while encoding it? | 06:27 |
| OoRal | JaseX: This also happened last time I had Ubuntu installed. I tried everything from reinstalling drivers to restarting samba to reinstalling media players. None of it worked. AND I SAID I HAVE THE CODECS ALREADY. | 06:27 |
| OoRal | I also said it was MUSIC. | 06:27 |
| airtonix | raul1, keep this place bookmarked : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy | 06:27 |
| airtonix | OoRal, /ignore OoRal | 06:28 |
| murlidhar | i did a base installation of hardy and now i am not able to play sound at all. earlier sound worked by default with default settings/configuration. is there any package that i am missing? | 06:28 |
| murlidhar | !sound | 06:28 |
| ubot3 | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:28 |
| JaseX | OoRal: I know that, I asked you a specific question though, no need to get snippy, if you choose not to answer, then don't. | 06:28 |
| OoRal | I wouldn't be getting angry if people listened to me | 06:28 |
| JaseX | I -DID- Listen, you chose not to respond to my question simply.\ | 06:28 |
| danbh_intrepid | OoRal: people are listening, but they may not have an answer | 06:28 |
| Timberwolf5578 | ok startup manager worked great | 06:29 |
| JaseX | I asked if you installed them manually, or if you used the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package. | 06:29 |
| OoRal | No, they're asking questions I answered already, danbh_intrepid | 06:29 |
| OoRal | I used the restricted extras one. | 06:29 |
| Timberwolf5578 | weird that it's not included by default | 06:29 |
| JaseX | You didn't answer my question actually OoRal, don't assinine. | 06:29 |
| legend2440 | ianq: are you using mplayer? | 06:29 |
| JaseX | be assinine* | 06:29 |
| OoRal | Whatever the hell that's meant to mean | 06:29 |
| JaseX | ok. | 06:29 |

| raul1 | unrar -x /home/raulh/Desktop/ installer.rar | 06:30 |
| raul1 | whats wrong with this syntax :(? | 06:30 |
| Flannel | OoRal, JaseX: We ask everyone to be helpful in this channel, please honor that, thanks. | 06:30 |
| JaseX | Have you tried sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:30 |
| danbh_intrepid | JaseX: dont use enter as punctuation please | 06:30 |
| ianq | JaseX: it's .avi; they worked fine until a couple of days ago and play well on my XP machine as well | 06:30 |
| JaseX | and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 06:30 |
| OoRal | k, doing it now | 06:30 |

| airtonix | raul1, ubuntuguide.org | 06:32 |
| JaseX | well you said something about samba, which is used for accessing files over another computer, so I wasn't sure OoRal. | 06:32 |
| JaseX | This happens frequently after each install? | 06:32 |
| ianq | legend2440: how did you do that? | 06:32 |
| raul1 | airtonix this channel wouldnt be here if it wasnt for questions | 06:32 |
| JaseX | OoRal: what media player are you using? | 06:32 |
| OoRal | JaseX: I swear I said alsa... it's happened twice | 06:32 |
| airtonix | raul1, yes it would | 06:32 |
| jim_p | ricree: are you sure that you re using the fglrx drivers? | 06:32 |
| OoRal | JaseX: It occurs on all media players I try. Amarok, Rhythmbox and VLC | 06:33 |
| murlidhar | err how to restart sound server ? | 06:33 |
| Bajoraptor | hey, i'm using WUBI, and the original partition image that was made was 10gb, I created a new disk called extra.disk in the proper directory and sudo mkfs.ext3 -F extra.disk | 06:33 |
| JaseX | So no sound is playing OoRal? It's hard to keep up with the scroll in the room I apologize. | 06:33 |
| Bajoraptor | how do I mount it | 06:33 |
| JaseX | Or just media files inside media players? | 06:33 |
| OoRal | JaseX: Well, sound plays through my browser just fine. | 06:33 |
| ianq | legend2440: how did you do that? | 06:33 |
| ricree | jim_p: not entirely. How would I check? | 06:33 |
| legend2440 | ianq: in mplayler right click choose pereferences>video then choose driver to use | 06:34 |

| JaseX | Hmm... that's a problem I haven't encountered in awhile. I actually had that problem back in 6.10... I don't think I ever solved it... just re-installed. | 06:34 |
| JaseX | the sound problem i mean OoRal. | 06:34 |
| OoRal | I don't want to have to reinstall. :\ I just got things how I wanted, JaseX | 06:34 |

| murlidhar | ok sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 06:34 |

| JaseX | OoRal: I know how that feels, getting your stuff laid out the right way, and then having to re-install. | 06:35 |
| JaseX | OoRal: does sound from media play on that account? | 06:35 |
| JaseX | or does it yield the same results? | 06:36 |
| legend2440 | !mplayer | ianq | 06:36 |

| OoRal | JaseX: Aha! Solved... it was Kopete's fault. | 06:41 |
| ianq | legend2440: ah, now i can install it. one moment | 06:41 |
| ushimitsudoki | ezzieyguywuf: because he is going to map the xev result (keycode 239) to and XF86 key (XF86LaunchA) using /etc/X11/Xmodmap | 06:41 |
| Floid | Bajoran: You could move .wine/drive_c or all of .wine and make a symlink? | 06:41 |
| NickRead | Banjoran: Yes - you can move your ~/.wine folder to wherever and symlink to it | 06:41 |
| JaseX | like my power key is broken, so I use my hp quickplay key to shutdown. | 06:41 |
| Bajoran | hows that | 06:41 |
| OoRal | JaseX: For some reason, Amarok didn't like being referred to before it had loaded. | 06:41 |
| NickRead | Banjoran: This assumes you are the only user using the wine install | 06:41 |
| Bajoran | yes | 06:42 |
| ce-cantik | jjjkkkkkkkkkkkk | 06:42 |
| JaseX | OoRal: what do you mean by that? | 06:42 |
| ce-cantik | fffffffffffffffffffffffffff | 06:42 |
| OoRal | JaseX: Well, I had the "Now Listening" plugin enabled which specified Amarok | 06:42 |
| ezzieyguywuf | so in the second script he lists in that section, when acpi_fakekey uses $KEY_MACRO, whats that $KEY_MACRO all about? why does he just put the button he gets from xev right in there? I think i'm having a hard time understanding exaclty what acpi is doing here... | 06:43 |
| ce-cantik_ | jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj | 06:43 |
| Bajoran | so sudo cp -r '/home/<user>/.wine' /vdisk/ ? | 06:43 |
| JaseX | OoRal: and the messenger requested something for it... and crashed due to amarok not being open? | 06:43 |
| Bajoran | NickRead: am I doing that correctly? | 06:43 |
| OoRal | JaseX: Well, I'd say so... it could also have requested alsa and been occupying it so that amarok couldn't get access and thus froze when I tried to play music | 06:44 |
| Bajoran | oh | 06:44 |
| Bajoran | sudo cp -s -r '/home/<user>/.wine' '/vdisk/' | 06:44 |
| JaseX | OoRal: are you running 8.04? | 06:44 |
| OoRal | JaseX: Yes'm | 06:44 |
| Bajoran | er | 06:44 |
| JaseX | Hmm... strange OoRal. | 06:45 |
| ianq | legend2440: sweet, it works now. thanks a lot!! | 06:45 |
| Bajoran | sudo cp -r '/home/<user>/.wine' '/vdisk/' then sudo cp -s '/vdisk/.wine' '/home/<user>/' ? | 06:45 |
| legend2440 | ianq: your welcome | 06:45 |
| ce-cantik | ........................ | 06:45 |
| ce-cantik | ................................ | 06:45 |
| JaseX | Bajoran: ln -s :) | 06:45 |
| JaseX | I think | 06:46 |
| Bajoran | :| | 06:46 |
| JaseX | Bajoran: To symlink it right? | 06:46 |
| JaseX | ln < link -s < symbolic | 06:46 |
| Bajoran | I'm copying .wine to the partition, assume its in /vdisk/ | 06:46 |
| JaseX | Then all looks good to me in that command Bajoran | 06:47 |
| Bajoran | the one I pasted | 06:47 |
| Bajoran | ? | 06:47 |
| JaseX | The commands you want to use look right. Bajoran | 06:47 |
| xtor_ | I am trying to decide between lenny and ubuntu as a desktop OS | 06:48 |
| nutricycle | could someone help me with graphics drivers in winxp on virtualbox under ubuntu? | 06:48 |
| JaseX | xtor_: well that's all opinion... | 06:48 |
| dr3mro | hi | 06:48 |
| xtor_ | I'm looking for some favourable opinions on using ubuntu here | 06:49 |
| NickRead | nutricycle: what's the issue? | 06:49 |
| JaseX | xtor_: I'd say ubuntu for most stability. | 06:49 |
| Bajoran | JaseX: I want to be sure to rm -r /home/<user>/.wine after the copy heh | 06:49 |
| JaseX | Lenny gives me lots of issues on my iMac testing box, and my thinkpad a22m xtor_ | 06:49 |
| dr3mro | hi is there a performance gain from moving ubuntu from wubi image ito rell partition | 06:49 |
| JaseX | Yes Bajoran or else it won't let you symlink | 06:50 |
| Bajoran | other way around | 06:50 |
| nutricycle | hi NickRead I really want to ditch windose but still want to play some 3d games under it, how can I get the full power of my graphics card running under a virtual machine | 06:50 |
| JaseX | Remove the directory after copying. | 06:50 |
| NickRead | nutricycle: You're not going to have much luck unfortunately. I'd recommend dual booting if you want to continue playing your 3D games. | 06:50 |
| dr3mro | hi is there a performance gain from moving ubuntu from wubi image into real partition | 06:51 |
| Flannel | dr3mro: Yes, but only in disk access times | 06:51 |
| JaseX | my logic tells me this. Bajoran sudo cp -r ~/.wine target && rm -r ~/.wine && sudo ln -s target ~/.wine | 06:51 |
| JaseX | where target is /vdis/ | 06:51 |
| JaseX | s/vdis/vdisk | 06:52 |
| Daft_Punk | is ubuntu better than windows vista? | 06:52 |
| JaseX | Daft_Punk: that's matter of opinion friend. | 06:52 |
| nutricycle | NickRead, thanks. is it possible to move the wubi image to another HD? | 06:52 |
| dr3mro | Flannel, that mean applications will load faster and system boot faster | 06:52 |
| JaseX | And involves politics. | 06:52 |
| Flannel | dr3mro: Yes | 06:52 |
| raul1 | draft vista is a ram eater | 06:52 |
| amanu | Flannel: only in disk access times means wont it vary in other factors | 06:52 |
| Flannel | dr3mro: Especially on the boot aspect | 06:52 |
| NickRead | JaseX: How about changing the "rm -r ~/.wine" to "mv ~/.wine ~/.wine_backup" | 06:52 |
| raul1 | but it's true its all matter of opinion | 06:52 |
| dr3mro | do you know % ?? | 06:52 |
| raul1 | IMO ubuntu destroys vista... | 06:53 |
| Flannel | dr3mro: nope, sorry. | 06:53 |
| dr3mro | Flannel, thanks | 06:53 |
| Samuel | hi, anyone can help me to enable boot log | 06:53 |
| JaseX | That would work NickRead :D thanks. As I said my proposal was based on my logic, but yours is a better move | 06:53 |
| JaseX | Bajoran: what NickRead said. | 06:53 |
| Samuel | googled but no resolution found | 06:53 |
| NickRead | JaseX: Bajoran: Just to be safe :) | 06:53 |
| JaseX | Never can be too safe with rm -r anyways | 06:54 |
| JaseX | especially when implying sudo. | 06:54 |

| amanu | not sure about what | 07:04 |
| amanu | remastersys means? | 07:04 |
| JaseX | amanu: about why it won't install, if you're trying to install an exact copy of -YOUR- ubuntu onto a friends computer... | 07:04 |
| raul1 | how do i run awn if i installed it using sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator, anyone know if i gatta restart or what lol | 07:04 |

| raul1 | amanu how exacly did you copy "you" ubuntu? | 07:05 |
| raul1 | your* | 07:05 |
| ezzieyguywuf | raul1: you have to have a composite window manager running, i.e. compiz. then, it should be in applications->accessories | 07:05 |

| Serway | that makes sense | 07:07 |
| JaseX | and by blank I mean a plain transparent one. | 07:08 |
| Serway | let me gimp one up | 07:08 |

| Rolaulten | hello...I was playing around with my wireless settings and lost the mac address for my wireless settings...now I have wifi0, eth1-5 and such...is there a way to restore the entire network settings to the defult (all my wireless settings, the madwifi driver, IE make the network aspect of the OS just like it was a fresh install) | 07:08 |
| JaseX | zcat[1]: nice | 07:08 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Rolaulten: what files were you messing with? | 07:08 |
| Rolaulten | I was playing around with aircrack | 07:09 |
| zcat[1] | gNewSense ... pretty similar to ubuntu, except less things work ;) | 07:09 |
| Rolaulten | and now I am unable to logon to any wireless network | 07:09 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Rolaulten: I dunno what aircrack is, but if you know what config files you were editing, there is usually a backup made automagically, which would be in the same folder and have the same name followed by a tilde (~) | 07:09 |
| ezzieyguywuf | anyone here running linux mint? I am, and can't really tell much of a difference from just stanard 'ol ubuntu 'cept for codec support | 07:10 |
| Serway | JaseX, i made the png, and for the custom_icon value, i placed the location of my icon /home/serway/Pictures/icon.png, and then clicked the "use custom icon" box, but it still shows up as the older one | 07:10 |
| JaseX | Hmm. | 07:10 |
| JaseX | Are you using the menu bar? | 07:11 |
| Rolaulten | no...I'm not seeing any backups... :( | 07:11 |
| zcat[1] | Serway, log out and back in? | 07:11 |
| Rolaulten | is there a way to restore everything to how it was off the live cd? | 07:11 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Rolaulten: which config files are we talkin about here? | 07:11 |
| JaseX | Serway: if not just goto ~/.icons/ and replace the distributor logo with your logo. | 07:11 |
| JaseX | in your current icon theme | 07:11 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Rolaulten: do a clean install :-D | 07:11 |
| Rolaulten | you think thats the most painless? | 07:12 |
| Serway | ill try logging-in and out, ill brb | 07:12 |
| zcat[1] | Rolaulten, make a new admin user, then log into that, copy what you want to keep, and delete the old user? | 07:12 |
| Rolaulten | ok... | 07:13 |
| ezzieyguywuf | Rolaulten: not really. if you have a lot of stuff configed and don't want to re-config, it'd probably be easier to track down what config files aircrack edited, then search for an original copy of those config files | 07:13 |
| raul1 | anyone know why i cannot set launcher on my awn? | 07:13 |
| zcat[1] | Rolaulten, probably you can just delete .gnome2 and that will reset most config | 07:13 |

| ezzieyguywuf | both of them do | 07:13 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i'm gonna ask one last time, then I need to get to bed can someone help me understand the following "acpi_fakekey gets the key numbers for specific events generated as output by scripts in /etc/acpi/ and writes them to the correct input FIFO in /dev/input/eventx. " I understand that it gets a key number, but what does it then do with the key number? what happens after it get written in eventx and what is FIFO? | 07:13 |

| raul1 | but it dosn't show up on the bar | 07:14 |

| ezzieyguywuf | raul1: how did you add the launcher? | 07:14 |
| zcat[1] | ezzieyguywuf, this channel only handles newb questions.. You might be waiting a while for an answer to yours. | 07:14 |
| raul1 | "Add" | 07:15 |
| ezzieyguywuf | zcat: where would I go for those sorts of questions? | 07:15 |
| raul1 | launchers tab in Awn manager | 07:15 |
| Rolaulten | ok, I think I'll go play with a live cd...its my laptop...not much is configured with it as is | 07:15 |

| Rolaulten | thanks fokes | 07:15 |
| raul1 | nothing happends | 07:15 |
| raul1 | i see the + but it dosn't stick. | 07:15 |

| ezzieyguywuf | raul1: try restarting awn. Right click-close, then re-open it | 07:16 |

| Bajoraptor | even though i've sudo chmod -R 777 the directories | 07:19 |
| raul1 | wow awn's runs like 00000.1 cpu +recommended o.o | 07:20 |
| Bajoraptor | jasex, i've copied the wine directory over to the /vdisk/ then symlinked it back and it is symlinked into home, but wine complains that I don't have permissions to access any of the stuff whenever I try to run it | 07:21 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i stopped using compiz cuz it slightly slowed down my comps response time and cuz it killed sleep on my laptop. I'm working on a workaround though :-D | 07:21 |
| amanu | raul1:i hv internet but i wnat to run all programs installed in my system over there can i? | 07:21 |
| JaseX | Bajoraptor: that's because you moved with sudo | 07:21 |

| raul1 | or bring his pc to your house | 07:21 |
| EXT4 | how can i resize with fdisk | 07:21 |
| raul1 | hook the ethernet cable and do it there | 07:21 |

| Shirakawasuna | colt: if you mean they're the same, have you made sure one isn't a link? (ls -la) | 08:08 |
| aaron_ | pedro, it should give you the path of the icon being used at the top of that window to select a icon | 08:08 |

| brandonmpace | Timberwolf5578: I´m not sure but cairo-dock looks pretty neat | 08:08 |
| colt | No, i sure | 08:08 |
| Pulpie | colt: syslog logs everything switch.log only logs switch the system logs things in switch but also log the whole system the reason they are the same is that switch is the only thing that is logging in the system | 08:09 |

| pedro | the utorrent one | 08:11 |

| pedro | but where iFvwm? | 08:12 |
| _coredump_ | moinsen | 08:13 |
| NickRead | untermensch: that's fine - as Pulpie also said though, ensure you have forwarding enabled on the server. Also, you may get some problems with XAuth (possible, but not likely). | 08:13 |

| Daft_Punk | _LiNuX_, guarddog and firestarter are for managing the iptables in linux. avast is a free virus scanner | 08:48 |

| bhindi | radovich pla | 08:48 |

| onescomplement | it is silly to state that linux is secure out of the box. it entirely depends on the choices your distro makes. | 08:52 |

| B3z3rk3r | yunhual, u can just disable the gdm in the services panel | 08:52 |

| Theban | in terms of ftp access that is | 09:25 |
| Daft_Punk | radovich, use a virtual machine such as virtualbox | 09:25 |

| Flannel | hejux: please don't post that here | 09:26 |
| hejux | it's not an adv. .. | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | hejux: this is ubuntu support, not a place to broadcast your system | 09:27 |
| Theban | agreed | 09:27 |
| hejux | well | 09:27 |
| hejux | i see | 09:27 |

| Flannel | hejux: Right, I know. But general chatting belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:27 |
| hejux | haha | 09:27 |
| FloodBot3 | hejux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:27 |

| Daft_Punk | ganes1, good question | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ganes1: yes but you wont be allowed icons on the desktop | 09:29 |
| brandonmpace | ganes1: there is a way to do this, I saw it on youtube | 09:29 |
| radovich | ganes1: i never made it. i tried, but no luck | 09:29 |
| Tulimaq | Kate5492: yes ofc just add it to sites-enabled | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kate5492: make sure it has read only permissions too | 09:30 |
| Daft_Punk | jjjjjjjjjjjjjjoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 09:30 |
| bluemind | ganes1: is involves to disable nautilus drawing the background / making it transparent, probably from gconf-editor, i think there are how-to's if you google for them | 09:30 |
| bluemind | *it | 09:31 |
| Daft_Punk | that was my cat, sorry | 09:31 |
| radovich | Daft_Punk: what was that? xD | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Daft_Punk: i think your keyboard is sending random characters to the system, id get it checked out | 09:31 |
| Daft_Punk | ActionParsnip, if by keyboard you mean evil cat that shoulnt be in my room then yes | 09:32 |
| basti | Kate5492, just write "Options FollowSymLinks" in your sites-enabeld conf | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Daft_Punk: haha sweet | 09:32 |

| kjs | Is there any scripts for adding multipul ldap users to a system? | 09:41 |
| brandonmpace | nnull: yes reinstall | 09:42 |
| nooga | ActionParsnip: i just want to make it black | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: you will need to once the install is complete (if it doesnt install for you, i'd backup your xorg.conf and smb.conf if you have one) | 09:42 |
| bluemind | ActionParsnip: it does show my hardware info but nothing about connected usb devices | 09:42 |
| nooga | ActionParsnip: or eventually to see the boot text | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nooga: then id make a bootsplashof a black image | 09:43 |
| nooga | where can i read about doing it? | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootsplash | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !splash | 09:43 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 09:43 |
| nnull | ok thanks guys | 09:43 |
| brandonmpace | ActionParsnip: that´s the gnome splash | 09:44 |
| nooga | okay, thx | 09:44 |
| bluvio | just updated to latest ubuntu, but can't seem to find mod_ssl package for my apache2. ...Hopefully I won't need to recompile it from source. "apt-cache search mod-ssl" and "apt-cache search apache | grep ssl" gave nothing. Could someone give me the name of that package, perhaps the repository also ... | 09:44 |
| brandonmpace | ActionParsnip: not the boot splash | 09:44 |
| MonsieurBon | if a Sparcle GeForce 8600 GT 512MB does not work with Ubuntu, does that mean, that an Asus EN8600GT or any other 8600GT card won't work either? | 09:44 |
| brandonmpace | MonsieurBon: what exactly do you mean by not work? | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | MonsieurBon: those cards will work in ubuntu, nvidia works great | 09:44 |
| nnull | i tried to use the ubuntu livecd on a p3 600 128 ram.. just froze up once it loaded :x | 09:45 |
| nnull | maybe i try xubuntu? | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: could you restart the x server? | 09:45 |
| brandonmpace | nnull: on a comp that slow you need the alternate install dvd, unless you add more ram. | 09:45 |
| hejux | it's clear now ... | 09:45 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip, nope, even mouse movements where lagged considerably | 09:45 |
| MonsieurBon | brandonmpace, the Sparcle is on the Hardware Blacklist of ubuntuusers.de. It sais, that the system freezes after driver installation. | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: i would for 128mb ram, you could buy an extra 256mb and it'll be fine | 09:45 |
| hejux | no more extra messege | 09:45 |
| bluemind | MonsieurBon: I have Club 3d 8500 GT and it works fine | 09:45 |
| brandonmpace | ActionParsnip: it is due to lack of 192 mb of ram | 09:45 |
| chipbuddy | i'm trying to install 8.04 but when the installer is on the "select and install software" stage, it stops at 90%. how do i get it to continue? | 09:46 |
| brandonmpace | MonsieurBon: well how old is that article | 09:46 |
| brandonmpace | chipbuddy: is it plugged into an active internet connection? | 09:46 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip, brandonmpace ah ok, but if couldnt get more RAM for it do you think installing it and adding some swap could run it? or just not doable without the extra ram? | 09:46 |
| chipbuddy | brandonmpace yeah. is it downloading updates, but just not telling me? | 09:47 |
| Malformation | here to report a bug! | 09:47 |
| brandonmpace | nnull: alternate install disc, swap of like a gig | 09:47 |
| MonsieurBon | brandonmpace, last change was 4 days ago. Don't know when that line was added... Generally no problems with nvidia cards? | 09:47 |
| Malformation | I found a ubuntu bug! | 09:47 |
| Malformation | Using Windows Key + tab to scroll through different windows | 09:47 |
| nnull | brandonmpace, alternate install disc is a DVD iso tho yea? this pc only has CDrom :s | 09:47 |
| Malformation | if you scroll inwards, the screen goes black and stays taht way | 09:47 |
| brandonmpace | MonsieurBon: yes generally no problems | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | chipbuddy: if you disconnect your network connection it'll be fine | 09:47 |
| bluemind | Malformation: compiz? | 09:48 |
| Malformation | yeh | 09:48 |
| Malformation | Compiz | 09:48 |
| MonsieurBon | brandonmpace, ok, thx | 09:48 |
| brandonmpace | chipbuddy: also note that this is part of the install that takes a bit | 09:48 |
| nnull | would it be worth running like x11 or a minimal KDE interface on this old PC? | 09:48 |

| Kate5492 | Hello , i need help , i installed apache on my server , when i type http://localhost i cant see all the files & folders why ? | 09:49 |
| MartinCz | Hi. I am searching for a console with bash which would be open by ` key in a pull-out way, like a awning in an window. | 09:49 |
| ikonia | MartinCz: wgat cab tiy see ? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | MartinCz: what can you see | 09:49 |
| brandonmpace | Malformation: no problem here, just tried it. on a laptop too... slow video card in your comp maybe? | 09:49 |
| bluemind | Malformation: do you use ring or shift switcher? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | MartinCz: console/shell are two seperate things | 09:49 |
| ikonia | MartinCz: sorry - not you | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Kate5492 what can you see when you hit local host | 09:50 |
| MartinCz | I would like it to look like a console in Unreal or this like... | 09:50 |
| ikonia | MartinCz the console and the shell are two seperate things, you mean you want a terminal ? | 09:50 |
| MartinCz | I saw it somewhere and would like it to have. | 09:50 |
| ikonia | MartinCz: ir's possibly just a "skin" or theme for an existing terminal emmulation program | 09:50 |
| MartinCz | And what is the difference? | 09:51 |
| Malformation | scroll in really far | 09:51 |
| Malformation | i got a nvidia 8400m gs | 09:51 |
| Malformation | which isnt too bad | 09:51 |
| MartinCz | I have hardy heron and gnome... So what would you advice me? Thanks. | 09:52 |
| ikonia | MartinCz: look at gnome themes and look at other terminals like "eterm" or "aterm" and look a skins for them | 09:52 |
| Kate5492 | ikonia: i can see the files i uploaded to the servers , but not all the files & folders | 09:52 |
| BuGo_laptop | hi | 09:52 |
| ikonia | Kate5492: then it's probably permissions on the file you can't see being a problem | 09:53 |
| brandonmpace | Malformation: I just got it to go black... if you hit escape it stops. for some reason after using the shift switcher and doing that what it is doing is zooming in too far | 09:53 |
| Malformation | i know it stops | 09:53 |
| Malformation | also if u start zoming out again | 09:53 |
| Malformation | zooming* | 09:53 |
| BuGo_laptop | are they planing next issue on 8.10? or should i not wait and upgrade to 8.04? | 09:53 |
| Malformation | it goes back to normal | 09:53 |
| Malformation | i just thought i'd mention it | 09:53 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: then next release is 8.10 - but 8.04 is LTS | 09:53 |
| Jaffarkelshac | is it possible to change the font colour of the gnome-panel from black to white | 09:53 |
| Malformation | mine actually goes black and the screen flickers a lot | 09:53 |
| BuGo_laptop | LST? | 09:54 |
| hejux | hi buddy | 09:54 |
| BuGo_laptop | is Kubuntu 8.04 by default with KDE 3 or KDE 4? | 09:54 |
| brandonmpace | BuGo_laptop: I would wait if you are patient, october 30th... but 8.04 is good. if you are using 7.10 and upgrade to 8.04 you will notice a big slow down | 09:54 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop "long term support" | 09:54 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: kde 3 | 09:54 |
| bunnyto | how to add a partition to mount automatically ? | 09:54 |
| hejux | how can i scroll to any direction under firefox with clicking the middle mouse button | 09:55 |
| bluemind | Malformation: i got the same behavior with my gf 8500 gt | 09:55 |
| djlotis | BuGo_laptop: I believe you have the opportunity to install either | 09:55 |
| ikonia | bunnyto: place the info in your /etc/fstab file | 09:55 |
| Kate5492 | ikonia: how i can change the files & folder premissions so they will be readble on the apache server ? | 09:55 |
| djlotis | BuGo_laptop: If I remember reading that correctly.. I dont use kde 8.04 .. but i thought i read it somewhere | 09:55 |
| BuGo_laptop | I think i will wait :/ cause i like 7.10 and i heard lots of complains about 8.04. i how 8.10 will do better | 09:55 |
| bluemind | but i can't but wonder who would want to zoom in on the shift switcher that much :) | 09:55 |
| ikonia | Kate5492: then need to be "readable" or "execuatable" by the user thats running the webserver which on ubuntu is "www-data" | 09:55 |
| bluvio | Kate5492: you need to change your folder permission. Try 755 - i.e. the 'other' must be executable | 09:55 |
| brandonmpace | 8.04 is sloooow compared to 7.10 | 09:56 |
| bunnyto | ikonia: is this ok? /dev/sda2 /home/ini ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 09:56 |
| nnull | brandonmpace, why do you think that is mate? | 09:56 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: each release will have errors, LTS releases are more likley to get fixes/updates for longer | 09:56 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: if they are the options you want | 09:56 |
| nnull | !lts | 09:56 |
| ikonia | brandonmpace: I suspect thats down to your settings | 09:56 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 09:56 |
| nnull | ahh 8.04 is LTS yea? and 8.10 isnt? | 09:57 |
| ikonia | nnull: correct | 09:57 |
| nnull | kkk | 09:57 |
| brandonmpace | nnull: well you know what happened to vista? I think it got bloated or something and ikonia I have tested this on 5 computers. all fast. laptops and desktops | 09:57 |
| bunnyto | ikonia: is this ok? /dev/sda2 /home/ini ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 09:57 |
| bluemind | Malformation: if you try zooming in regularly with only super enabled and you have a black background in some of the windows it does exactly the same, i think it is not a bug, you just zoomed to a black part of your desktop | 09:57 |
| nnull | hmm | 09:57 |
| ikonia | brandonmpace: that can be your settigns still, things like compiz are enabled by default | 09:57 |
| ikonia | brandonmpace: if those are the settings you want - tghen yes, it's fine | 09:57 |
| brandonmpace | Malformation: yes super + scroll is zoom | 09:58 |
| BuGo_laptop | Well i want to test Kubuntu with KDE4 in my home laptop and my work Laptop need reinstall so i am searching for best version to use :) | 09:58 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: 8.04 | 09:58 |
| brandonmpace | ikonia: I did both!!! with AND without compiz | 09:58 |
| bunnyto | ikonia: is this ok? /dev/sda2 /home/ini ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 09:58 |
| ikonia | brandonmpace: I'm just giving you an example | 09:58 |
| nnull | im about to reinstall, then ill be back to try get 1024 res at 75 hertz! catchaz | 09:58 |
| ikonia | bunnyto: I'll say it a 3rd time for you - if those are the options you want to use, then it's fine | 09:58 |
| ikonia | brandonmpace: there have been issues with soem of the ati/nvidia packaged drivers too that have caused visual slow down rather than actual performance slow down | 09:59 |
| bunnyto | ikonia: i just want to mount and read and write, i just copied from the main partition | 09:59 |
| BuGo_laptop | ikonia, but it wont be a burden to install KDE 4 on 8.04 kubuntu? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | bunnyto then thats fine | 09:59 |
| ikonia | bunnyto: no | 09:59 |
| laughzilla | anyone here familiar with editing video in ubuntu ? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | oops | 09:59 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: no | 09:59 |
| FloodBot3 | ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:59 |
| bunnyto | ikonia: noo? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | bunnyto: no, your line was fine | 10:00 |
| brandonmpace | ikonia: I know but these computers were 2 were ati and 3 were nvidia. so it´s not that | 10:00 |
| bunnyto | ikonia: ok.. are you girl? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | brandonmpace: well, yes, it can be as I've just said nvidia/ati drivers that where packaged where have had problems | 10:00 |
| ikonia | bunnyto: what does that matter ? | 10:00 |
| bunnyto | maybe we can date... so i can honor my debt to you | 10:00 |
| Cheeky | hey ..if i make this current ubuntu desktop to have a static ip would my torrent download go faster ? as of now .. its real slow,... and suddenly goes idle ? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | bunnyto: I think we'll let that slide | 10:01 |
| DIFH-iceroot | how can i check with apt if a package is installed? | 10:01 |
| MartinCz | I think I will need more help with the pull-down terminal :( | 10:01 |
| Cheeky | am talking about the transmissions program | 10:01 |
| brandonmpace | Cheeky: that does not affect torrents | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | MartinCz: install yakuake | 10:01 |
| laughzilla | why does KINO have to make every .avi video into a massively heavy .DV file before it can be edited? i am a big fan of ubuntu, but on multimedia, i hate to admit, ubuntu still sucks even compared to the MSFT options. is there any hope of this situation improving in the near future? | 10:01 |
| BuGo_laptop | or tilda | 10:01 |
| djlotis | Cheeky: Do you have a router your connecting to? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | MartinCz: or tilda | 10:01 |
| BuGo_laptop | :) | 10:01 |
| MartinCz | i'll have a look, thanks | 10:02 |
| djlotis | Cheeky: It could be that your traffic is just trickling though.. maybe you need to port forward your traffic | 10:02 |
| BuGo_laptop | ikonia, thans for the support :) | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | MartinCz: tilda is gnome based | 10:02 |
| DIFH-iceroot | i want to check is "xinetd" is installed with apt | 10:02 |
| ikonia | BuGo_laptop: welcome | 10:02 |
| bluemind | is there a deb for inkscape 0.47? | 10:03 |
| brandonmpace | laughzilla: use kdenlive. it will work with more formats.... | 10:03 |
| mistform | Hey, i'm trying to get a USB controller to work. it's actually a "universal USB converter" it converts a PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox controller, including an extra USB port | 10:03 |
| aj_ | i am not able to hear sound when i play music or video files..can anyone help? | 10:03 |
| BuGo_laptop | MartinCz, thought i have never made tilda to work. i always end up using yakuake! | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | aj_: does it work from anything? | 10:03 |
| mistform | i'm running Hardy, the controller is USB, but it's plugged into USB2 | 10:04 |
| aj_ | nooe | 10:04 |
| aj_ | nope | 10:04 |
| laughzilla | brandonmpace i'll look at it, thanks. | 10:04 |
| aj_ | i even tried vlc | 10:04 |
| djlotis | aj_: It could be you have also muted or you have the wrong device selected.. did you look in your sound settings | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | aj_: ok, run lspci and give us the ONLY line relating to your audio device | 10:04 |
| mistform | aj_, did you run basic troubleshooting? you're sure it's plugged in right, speakers have volume turned up, etc? | 10:04 |
| edwin_ | yay for xchat-gnome's stupid default settings | 10:04 |
| Cheeky | djlotis: ok .. maybe so i assigned a port under preferences and the port was open but still slow; how would i port forward in ubuntu .. have never port fortwared anything before and i just got a router installed | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mistform: is it compatible with linux? | 10:04 |
| aj_ | the volume is maximum | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sup | 10:05 |
| djlotis | Question: I noticed Mint comes with pulseaudio is 8.10 going to come with the pulse server ?? | 10:05 |
| mistform | ActionParsnip, yeah, but that was another install. i need to figure out how to mount it and use it for a playstation emulator | 10:05 |
| brandonmpace | Cheeky: port forwarding is done on the router | 10:05 |
| mistform | pcsx | 10:05 |
| Malformation | u port forwrd on ur router, not on ur linux box | 10:05 |
| brandonmpace | djlotis: yes | 10:05 |
| djlotis | Cheeky: oops i just saw your post.. Yes you would do it from the router.. | 10:05 |
| Malformation | i got a guide on it Cheeky | 10:05 |

| deepak_ | milos what is named-xfer | 10:07 |
| brandonmpace | djlotis: that´s weird, mine worked without me doing anything and it automatically used pulseaudio | 10:07 |
| mistform | ActionParsnip, make and model of what? I bought it at wal-mart for $4 on clearance (unopened). it's worked before | 10:07 |
| djlotis | Cheeky: Great, do that and look around for something that says port forwarding or virtual servers | 10:07 |
| Malformation | cheeky, look at my guide and tell me if it helped you or not | 10:07 |

| mistform | ActionParsnip, it seems to be working in ZSNES, but where is it mounted so I can tell PCSX | 10:10 |
| Joshooa | Malformation: Yes? | 10:10 |
| djlotis | Cheeky: Make sure you forward the port that your torrent client is using, and make sure you know your ip address your forwarding it to. It goes something like this: The router will open port say .. 1500 and pass it on to your computer ip address (192.168.1.51) and of course your machine must allow traffic on that port. It sure helps to have a static IP so that you always forward to the right place | 10:10 |
| brandonmpace | djlotis: it´s in synaptic just search flash and look for flash sound support or something like that | 10:11 |
| djlotis | brandonmpace: Oh really? Well mine works now so its not a big deal | 10:11 |
| djlotis | brandonmpace: You think they might have it packaged with Ibex? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mistform: probably /dev/joy0 | 10:11 |
| brandonmpace | djlotis: yes most likely | 10:12 |
| djlotis | brandonmpace: I mean you think that flash is a fairly important package to have .. and with that sound to be functioning out of the gate too. | 10:12 |

| Lanlost | I am going to have a panic attack! | 10:40 |

| ActionParsnip | DuKeS: ive not used it but im guessing you can add folders to the library | 10:40 |
| Lanlost | I don't understand.. I mean.. I can mount them from terminal | 10:40 |
| Lanlost | but I don't understand why this happens sometimes. and why sometimes It just works | 10:41 |
| Lanlost | everytime I boot I have to do it from the terminal. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: you could add the device to your fstab | 10:41 |
| Lanlost | Right.. I could | 10:41 |
| Lanlost | but I want to know what is making it do this | 10:41 |
| lastman | pabl0: Yes, I m able to mount it without the cred file, username and password in fstab | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: then sudo mount -a will mount it | 10:41 |
| Lanlost | I shouldn't have to hack a work around | 10:41 |
| Lanlost | .. I can mount it from the terminal already | 10:41 |
| Lanlost | The option is there to just right click -> mount volume.. or just simply double click | 10:42 |
| pabl0 | lastman, well then there is something wring with the file | 10:42 |
| pabl0 | did you check the perms ? | 10:42 |
| Lanlost | I don't understand what permissions are beig changed that won't allow it to work | 10:42 |
| Lanlost | regardless.. that's not the main problem | 10:42 |
| DuKeS | ActionParsnip: it's tricky, imported a folder into it before i had any media in my ubuntu partition...so i mounted my winxp partition and imported the my music folder and now everytime i got rhythmbox open and i mount the windows partition it automatically duplicates every song (1 from the ubuntu partition and 1 from windows) | 10:42 |
| Lanlost | the thing that is giving me the panic attack is that I have a USB external hard drive that... for some odd reason won't mount anything except read only | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: ive always done it that way so i cant personally advise, editing fstab is not a hack, it just ensures its automounted | 10:43 |
| Lanlost | I'm doing sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/My\ Book/ -t vfat -o rw | 10:43 |
| Lanlost | is there something wrong iwht that? | 10:43 |
| Lanlost | you are misunderstanding me man.. | 10:43 |
| Lanlost | when I say fstab is a hack.. I mean in the sense that it is not the way that this should be working | 10:43 |
| Lanlost | so even though the fstab method is probably a better way to go anyway.. in this case things aren't working as they should | 10:44 |
| Lanlost | Before ubuntu.. I always used fstab and/or mounted manually from terminal. | 10:44 |
| lastman | pabl0: The permission is 644 and owner is root.root. I tried to mount it as root | 10:44 |
| Lanlost | It works sometimes.. the question is. why not always? I can't figure out what 'permissions' are not correct | 10:44 |
| Lanlost | regardless.. what I need is to write to my USB hard drive.. | 10:44 |
| Lanlost | was there something wrong with that command I pasted or should that do the trick? I never had to specify rw | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/My\ Book/ -t vfat -o rw | 10:45 |
| pabl0 | lastman, include the x bit, also what's the location of the file , i'm using /root/.smbcredentials | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | and yes.. it is fat32 | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: then ive no diea, ive alwas fstabbed stuff. automount has never worked for me and im glad as if I dont want it mounted it isnt, control is good | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | uh.. | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | Action.. | 10:45 |
| ikonia | Lanlost: then you need to mount it as the user - not root, as fat32 doesn't support permissions | 10:45 |
| Ninjako | Hi all. I need little help... | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | It doesn't auto mount.. | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | It never has.. | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: if you dont specify rw then it will be owned by root and only root can write | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | it only mounts when you click on the drive | 10:45 |
| Lanlost | it's not auto mounted on boot | 10:46 |
| Lanlost | this works by mounting only when you select the drive and either double click on it or right click -> mount volume | 10:46 |
| lastman | pabl0: Location is /etc/cred_domain -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 2008-09-22 11:42 /etc/cred_domain | 10:46 |
| _LiNuX_ | how can do force quit manually? | 10:46 |
| Lanlost | All it does is the equivilent of mounting the drive from the terminal.. just automatically.. but only when you do it | 10:46 |
| Lanlost | Thus.. I have as much control as you do | 10:46 |
| Lanlost | when it works that is.. | 10:46 |
| pabl0 | lastman, try chmod 700 /etc/cred_domain | 10:46 |
| Ninjako | How can i install Ubuntu on external HDD? | 10:46 |
| Lanlost | which was .. always... until a reboot | 10:46 |
| Lanlost | ok.. so how do I do -o rw type command that allows anyone..not just root to read/write? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: automount means its mounted automatically, thats less control to me | 10:47 |
| Lanlost | ITS NOT AUTO MOUNTING | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: you'll need to add some UIDs | 10:47 |
| Lanlost | Never once have I said I am using any sort of auto mount | 10:47 |
| Lanlost | When you say auto mount.. you mean that it mounts automatically on boot right? | 10:48 |
| Lanlost | thats the only type of 'auto mounting' I've ever heard of anyone wanting/using | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Lanlost: auto mount can mean when you browse the device it mounts auto for you | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: no, as soon as the device is connected its there and accessible | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Lanlost: automounting is not only boot | 10:48 |
| Lanlost | Ok.. well how does that give you less control | 10:48 |
| mistform | maybe a boot mount he wants? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: i want to mount it when im good and ready | 10:48 |
| mistform | System > Preferences > Sessions | 10:48 |
| Lanlost | ActionParsnip.. That's not how it works | 10:48 |
| Lanlost | from the build of Ubuntu I have at least | 10:48 |
| Lanlost | when I connect the drive.. it is NOT accessable | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Lanlost: ok - so thats auto mounting | 10:49 |
| Lanlost | until I click on the drive and right click -> mount volume | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: anyways you'll need to add some access IDs to allows users to write to it | 10:49 |
| Lanlost | ... | 10:49 |
| Lanlost | Alright.. thanks | 10:49 |
| Lanlost | god only knows how shit like this breaks for no reason all of a suddon | 10:49 |

| Lanlost | sorry.. anytime I see OSS Its the common usage of it. I rarely see open source abbreviated as OSS. My bad | 10:52 |

| ActionParsnip | cc0: is there no 64bit bitchx? | 11:38 |
| cc0 | do you know how I might go about that? | 11:39 |

| Dyllan | Can somebody explain how i would go about setting up my SHELL to be color coded, meaning that if i vi a file for example its broken down into different colors depending on the script, or is i ls -l directories and coloured differently to files, im ssh into my ubuntu server, right no it looks very bland - thanks! | 11:52 |

| kibibyte | wgy it doesnt loginto my page | 11:53 |

| ikonia | Dyllan: you need to make sure you login with a loging shell so your bashrc and the like are sourced | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dkjahjkajfhs: thats why | 11:53 |
| dkjahjkajfhs | ActionParsnip: i know | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dkjahjkajfhs: they may have kicked out a bios that does, if not its floppy for you | 11:53 |
| cowsong | Dyllan, if you vi a file, the colouring is a function of vi, not the shell. Try ":syntax on" inside vi | 11:54 |
| dkjahjkajfhs | ActionParsnip: okay, but first i'll try to upgrade my bios and if that did't work i'll use the fdd | 11:54 |
| Dyllan | ikonia; ok, i think i follow, i use putty at the moment to ssh in, my gentoo server is all color but ubuntu not, so you saying i have to edit bashrc and dircolors to get what i want? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dkjahjkajfhs: make sure its the right bios or your system will never boot | 11:54 |

| remu | ActionParsnip, I'm using intel wifilink 5100, i have gotten it working before but in order to get it working i need to do "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 12:24 |
| remu | pajamian, same machine | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dinesh_: why rapidshare, ndiswrapper is on the install media and guides are in great abundance online | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: you get your install cd? | 12:24 |
| remu | lol | 12:24 |
| remu | no i dont | 12:25 |
| pajamian | remu: ahhhh, never mind then. If it's just 10 hours till you get home and can do it from there I would just wait until you get home. | 12:25 |
| madrazr | alex_j: even I have the same problem in Hardy, I have been reporting it since the Hardy release, but in vain, I am fedup with Ubuntu these days | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: or you could download to your windows partition then copy over to linux | 12:25 |
| dinesh_ | ActionPArsnip: plz give me the link | 12:25 |
| remu | yea, thats what i was thinking | 12:25 |
| remu | i gotta download the whole iso eh? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !ndiswrapper | dinesh_ | 12:25 |
| ubottu | dinesh_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: no just the build-essential deb file | 12:25 |
| remu | lol | 12:25 |
| remu | thats what i was after | 12:25 |
| remu | didnt know where to look for it | 12:25 |
| hejux | i rebuild my xchat ,and it seems run more fater ... | 12:25 |
| pajamian | remu: you can download individual packages and use dpkg to install them, but you have to know all the right dependancies, etc. | 12:26 |
| remu | did a google search, but that wasnt too helpful....or maybe its too early in the morning | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: www.google.com or www.ask.com are my recommendations | 12:26 |
| bluemoon | jlime | 12:26 |
| remu | well, i went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential | 12:26 |
| remu | that lists the dependencies, but i take it that each of those things will probablly link to more | 12:26 |
| pajamian | remu: possibly | 12:26 |
| dinesh_ | ActionParsnip: i ownloaded the broadcom driver but the size of the file is just 195kb so, i am not sure is it full file or not | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: you on 64bit or 32bit? | 12:27 |
| remu | 64bit | 12:27 |
| remu | I went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential | 12:27 |
| pajamian | remu: if you download it and try to install them dpkg will tell you what is missing. You can do it that way, it may take a few tries, though. | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dinesh_: as long as its the xp driver its fine | 12:27 |
| remu | at the bottom, I clicked "amd64" and clicked on a server, and downloaded the deb | 12:27 |
| remu | I take it I will need to download the debs for the dependencies as well/ | 12:28 |
| dinesh_ | ActionParsnip: i am using windows vista | 12:28 |
| pajamian | remu: those you don't already have installed, yes. | 12:28 |
| remu | hmmm, alright | 12:28 |
| mistform | ActionParsnip, does his nic count as a bcm43xx? | 12:28 |
| remu | and what command should I use? | 12:28 |
| pajamian | remu: to install? | 12:28 |
| pajamian | remu: sudo dpkg -i filename | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mistform: no idea | 12:29 |
| remu | it might be easier for me to download the iso of ubuntu, mount it, and then use that as a repo....build essential is on the install disc, correct? | 12:29 |

| Lanlost | one more question | 12:40 |
| dinesh_ | Actionparsnip:ok i am looking on www.hp.cm | 12:40 |
| Lanlost | if I am writing a bash script.. What do I do to deal with commands that need to be ran with sudo? | 12:40 |
| _paneb | i have a UUID in my fstab for one of my external disks. when i mount the partition, i cannot execute any scripts that are on it, even though i have a bunch of mount options: rw,noauto,user,suid,exec | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dinesh_: if you are on 64bit get the 64bit drivers | 12:40 |
| Lanlost | For instance.. if I want to run iwconfig or something.. but I want the command tobe accessable to regular users | 12:40 |
| airtonix | k0de, hasnt died...i just didnt use proper url : http://www.doom9.org/ ... good place for learning about creating and ripping videos of all formats | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: put sudo in the scrpt | 12:41 |
| dinesh_ | Actionparsnip: i am on 32 bit | 12:41 |
| _paneb | 'mount' does not even show the mount options | 12:41 |
| Lanlost | (I am writing a script to set eth0 for internet connection sharing to start once a wireless connection is enabled) | 12:41 |
| Lanlost | Right Action.. but won't it ask for the password? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 12:41 |
| Lanlost | I guess it would be a security risk any othe rway | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | or you could sudo run the script to grant access to the whole thing | 12:41 |
| Lanlost | I was just hoping to have this be automatically ran | 12:41 |
| Lanlost | actually.. the program it will be ran from requires root access to run in the first place | 12:42 |
| mistform | http://paste.ubuntu.com/49262/ | 12:42 |
| Lanlost | if the program that calls the script is ran from root.. will it automatically have root access? | 12:42 |
| Lanlost | er.. sudo access | 12:42 |
| anars | why does the default Ubuntu installation utilize two cronjob daemons and two sysloggers? | 12:42 |

| opt1k | i have a dilemma, when i check the ubuntu repos for glut i get results for freeglut & glut3, with the description almost identical. so should i go with freeglut, or the original version, glut? | 12:42 |
| _paneb | anyone? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | opt1k: if they are identical it doesnt matter | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | _paneb: mount only shows what is mounted | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | _paneb: id check how to edit fstab to allow user execution / ownership | 12:44 |
| _paneb | ActionParsnip, indeed, but when i mount the partition, i don't see the options from the fstab (which it shows for other partitions). and if i check in the volume properties from Gnome, they're not there either | 12:44 |

| ActionParsnip | ionstorm66: which card do you have? | 13:12 |
| ionstorm66 | let me look | 13:12 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Frogzoo: /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow are ok, also iptables and ufw | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ionstorm66: i thought you said it was custom, i figured you'd know | 13:12 |
| RediXe | ActionParsnip, I just need need something to play some cd's ... XMMS didn't want to work, xfmedia locked up on me so mplayer it is | 13:12 |
| kingmilo | mans thanks ActionParsnip | 13:12 |
| ionstorm66 | a radeon | 13:12 |
| kingmilo | many* | 13:12 |
| DasEi1 | RediXe: try amarok | 13:13 |
| ionstorm66 | it dosnt have it marked on the box which one | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !xmms | RediXe | 13:13 |
| ubottu | RediXe: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 13:13 |
| ionstorm66 | "radeon ve" is all it has | 13:13 |
| legend2440 | ionstorm66: in terminal type lspci | grep VGA | 13:13 |
| jim_p | hello there!!! | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ionstorm66: run lspci, give us the single line about our ati card | 13:14 |
| DasEi1 | ionstorm66:which card ? >lshw, lspci,hwinfo | 13:14 |
| DasEi1 | !hi|jim_p | 13:14 |
| ubottu | jim_p: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:14 |
| ionstorm66 | rv100qv | 13:14 |
| rdz | hi all. i don't get any image from video card, when x is running, only console is displayed correctly. what i can i do the fix X or use the 'factory' settings? | 13:15 |
| jim_p | rdz: what gpu are you on? | 13:15 |
| rdz | somehow it sees, that xorg.conf isn't read anymore.. or some parts of it are ignored | 13:15 |
| Guest85786 | ActionParsnip: The instructions at the second link are exactly the same as those on the first | 13:15 |
| rdz | jim_p, geforce fx 5200 | 13:15 |
| DasEi1 | rdz: backup xorg, then : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 13:15 |
| rdz | DasEi1, thanks. | 13:16 |
| RootChaos | ikonia : any ideas ? | 13:16 |
| Guest85786 | ActionParsnip: I've tried all methods on the first page (excluding making a bootable USB drive from Windows) and none of them work | 13:16 |
| Frogzoo | DIFH-iceroot: put ALL : ALL in /etc/hosts.allow, restart rshd & try again | 13:16 |
| Guest85786 | ActionParsnip: The closest I have come is a GRUB screen with a reference to the install, however it then fails to mount the file system. | 13:16 |
| philippe | ionstorm66, Radeon 7000 then. Should work fine with the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver | 13:16 |
| legend2440 | ionstorm66: open system>admimistration>hardware drivers is there a box to enable ati drivers? | 13:17 |
| jim_p | rdz: did you install nvidia's proprietary drivers? if yes, how? | 13:17 |
| ionstorm66 | legend2440: nope | 13:17 |
| philippe | ionstorm66, the non-ati drivers probably work better, so no need to install the proprietary ATI drivers | 13:17 |
| asy | true | 13:17 |
| ionstorm66 | philippe: i cant get multi screen to work with non ati drivers | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ionstorm66: you could try sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk; gksu envyng-gtk | 13:18 |
| rdz | jim_p, yes.. but i don't know how.. it was someone else who did it... i am just trxying to fix the mess | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest85786: ive never set up a usb bootable device so all i have are websearches | 13:18 |
| jim_p | regarding ati> Nothing works better than the fglrx. all other drivers like radeon or hadeonhd are simply powerless when it comes to 3d | 13:19 |
| Guest85786 | ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks anyway | 13:19 |
| ionstorm66 | got an error | 13:19 |
| ionstorm66 | it didnt know my card | 13:19 |
| Guest85786 | ActionParsnip: The LiveUSB channel is empty and the GRUB channel are silent | 13:19 |
| Guest85786 | :( | 13:19 |
| DasEi1 | ionstorm66:which card ? >lshw, lspci,hwinfo | 13:20 |
| jim_p | rdz: you have pm | 13:20 |
| ionstorm66 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] | 13:20 |
| rdz | jim_p, pm? | 13:20 |
| DasEi1 | !who| ionstorm66 | 13:20 |
| asy | is anyone can introduce me a good Python editor? | 13:20 |
| philippe | ionstorm66, installing the ATI proprietary drivers is useless, They don't support the 7000 | 13:20 |
| ubottu | ionstorm66: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:20 |
| DasEi1 | ionstorm66: mom, looking up | 13:21 |
| rdz | jim_p, DasEi1 thanks a lot... i now have an image on screen with the login window | 13:21 |

| chazco | Hi... i'm trying to play DVDs on Ubuntu... but one of them refuses to play properly. It shows the menu, but when trying to play the actual movie it complains that the audio device is busy. Skipping to another chapter causes it to play okay. Ideas? | 13:21 |
| jim_p | you are welcome rdz | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !dvd | chazco | 13:21 |
| ubottu | chazco: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 13:21 |
| chazco | ActionParsnip - Its just the one DVD thats playing up... others work fine... | 13:22 |
| DasEi1 | ionstorm66: 32 or 64 bit ? | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: what type of dvd is it? | 13:22 |
| ionstorm66 | DasEi1: 32 | 13:22 |
| chazco | Just a normal DVD... 7GB (double layer) i think | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: data or video | 13:23 |
| chazco | Ah, video disc... | 13:23 |
| KDB9000 | hello everyone. Need some help with my ATi drivers. The rendering is being done by Mesa. How do I remove the Mesa and let ATi do the rendering? I have looked at CCHTML wiki and it said to remove xserver-xgl, well it isn't installed. any thoughts? | 13:23 |
| philippe | ionstorm66, check this out. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 There is even some extra info for radeon 7000's with only a small amount of memory | 13:23 |
| smm289 | odd behavior, downloading a torrent with transmission, only connected to 6 peers, only 6 peers available, and 94.4%. Installed Azerus 300+ in swarm, with 10 seeds, 100% available. Is Transmission really that bad of a Torrent client? | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: is it encrypted? | 13:23 |
| chazco | ActionParsnip - I imagine so, but never had any issues with playing other DVDs, or even other chapters/features on this disc... | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: | 13:25 |
| ionstorm66 | brb reboot | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: is the one thats playing up encypted | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: does it work in other players | 13:26 |
| chazco | ActionParsnip - I think so, but other parts of it play fine... it seems to be an issue with audio, because when i tried to rip it it doesnt work... Tried gxine, same issue. | 13:26 |
| rdz | jim_p, do you know, how i can change the resolution of the login window? somehow it uses one which is different from the resolution of the desktop | 13:26 |
| rdz | the login window won't show on the other monitor | 13:27 |
| jim_p | rdz: do you have a crt or a tft? | 13:27 |
| chazco | ActionParsnip - Hmm... oddly enough it works if i change the audio track to the commentary / another language... | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz: make the leftmost resolution in xorg.conf be the one you want to use | 13:27 |
| DasEi1 | ionstorm66: card isn't specified on ati-hp but runs with the catalyst-driver | 13:27 |
| jim_p | what other monitor? | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: maybe a bad disk | 13:27 |
| ProgX | Hello! Where can I find the libX11.so API? | 13:28 |
| mistform | why do i have so damn many modules running at once? | 13:28 |
| rdz | jim_p, tft | 13:28 |
| chazco | ActionParsnip - Maybe, but it plays on a standalone dvd player | 13:28 |
| rdz | ActionParsnip, there are no resolutions at all in xorg.conf | 13:29 |
| philippe | DasEi1, That would be highly unlikely as the catalyst driver for Linux does not support the Radeon 7000 that ionstorm66 has | 13:29 |
| jim_p | rdz: you must set only one resolution in xorg.conf so as to force its usege. and that resolution must be your tst's native resolution like 1280*1024 | 13:29 |
| rdz | ActionParsnip, actually i don't know even how those things are handled nowadays.. | 13:29 |
| rdz | jim_p, there is no res at all in xorg.conf | 13:29 |
| jim_p | :| | 13:29 |
| rdz | jim_p, the Section "Monitor" has only an identifier | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642192&page=2 | 13:30 |
| jim_p | rdz: then you need to configure it properly | 13:30 |
| rdz | however, at least it works so far, that i have a picture at all | 13:30 |
| DasEi1 | philippe: just found a thread saying the opposite (tested) (german:)http://3dfusion.de/forum/showthread.php?t=10562 | 13:30 |
| rdz | when logged in only, of course | 13:30 |
| KDB9000 | anyone know how to remove mesa so ATi can do direct rendering? | 13:30 |
| Frogzoo | KDB9000: x will default to mesa if your real drive fails to load, for whatever reason | 13:31 |
| rdz | jim_p, that's easy said, when i don't have a clue at all, how everythings works together.. on my personal box, i don't know what the resolution settings are affecing. they don't seem to correlate with what i actually can set | 13:31 |
| DasEi1 | ionstorm66: want a link for catalyst 5.4 ? | 13:31 |
| philippe | DasEil: That's for XP... Das hier ist der richtige Treiber (ATI Catalyst 5.4 für WindowsXP). | 13:31 |
| philippe | DasEi1, it's useless for ubuntu | 13:32 |
| KDB9000 | Frogzoo, any thoughts on how to fix this? I have already reinstalled my ATi drivers. Since then I get a boot up warning about dkms.conf or something like that | 13:32 |
| DasEi1 | philippe: catalyst is there for linux, too | 13:32 |
| the-ddon | hi | 13:32 |
| the-ddon | i need a bit of help | 13:32 |

| MSI-Wind | In synaptics is the java-common the normal java intsall ? | 13:36 |
| KDB9000 | legend2440, odd, it isn't showing up. It was in there. | 13:37 |
| ikonia | MSI-Wind: define normal | 13:37 |
| legend2440 | KDB9000: which ati card? | 13:37 |
| MSI-Wind | I don't think Java is insalled on this machin, but am unsure and am unable to install when downloading from java.com | 13:37 |
| ikonia | MSI-Wind: use the synaptic packaged version | 13:38 |
| xomp | How come I'm unable to remote desktop my windows PC from ubuntu using Remote Desktop Viewer? Anyone know? | 13:38 |
| KDB9000 | legend2440, it is a Radeon Xpress 200M (laptop card). It was in there, wondering if something happened to it during the last reinstall. | 13:38 |
| MSI-Wind | ikonia thats what I tought I would do, but there are several | 13:38 |
| ikonia | MSI-Wind: so pick the one you want/need | 13:38 |
| MSI-Wind | thats why I wondered if the java-common is the one to install | 13:38 |
| geirha | MSI-Wind: You probably want sun-java6-jre, and sun-java6-plugin if you want java-plugin for firefox | 13:38 |
| geirha | MSI-Wind: java-common only contains common files for java. Typically just documentation. | 13:39 |
| JackWinter | hmm, been googling a while and it seems that some logitech cordless kb/mouse combos eat a lot of battery thanks to the drivers not turning them off... any reccomendations for a desktop set to user under ubuntu. have been looking at the cordless desktop wave, since it seems to have mac support too. (run an osx86 at times) | 13:40 |
| itchy777 | @xomp in Windows you have to go to systemprefferences: Super+Pause | 13:40 |
| ikonia | JackWinter: your call what works for you | 13:40 |
| the-ddon | dose any one know anything about smart cards? | 13:41 |
| ikonia | the-ddon: ask the question | 13:41 |
| the-ddon | dose any one know anything about smartcards encryption? | 13:41 |
| JackWinter | ikonia: i suppose most of them will work for basic features, and that some additional functionality can be enabled. was asking here trying to find out what you guys are happy with, since i'd hate to get a set and have to change batteries every 2 weeks :) | 13:41 |
| geirha | xomp: Are you able to connect from other machines/OSes? | 13:42 |
| ikonia | JackWinter: look for the features you want, then research which keyboard supports them | 13:42 |
| ikonia | the-ddon: ask the question you want to know the answer to | 13:42 |

| DasEi1 | artti:backup xorg, run : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 13:48 |
| JackWinter | ikonia: yeah, you get a 2 day battery life from your desktop ? don't think that would suit me | 13:48 |
| ikonia | nnull: saying anyone is pointless, if someone didn't see your questions saying "anyone" won't let them see it, if someone doesn't know the answer to your question saying "anyone" won't make thenm remember | 13:48 |
| artti | DasEil, but what layout? | 13:48 |
| xomp | geirha, yes, I can connect to it from XP no problem. | 13:48 |

| ikonia | JackWinter: look at the models you want to use tna research their supportability | 13:49 |
| KDB9000 | legend2440, how do I remove the ati drivers that i installed from the site? | 13:49 |

| ikonia | nnull: you should ask the question, wait 15-ish minutes, ask again if no-one responds | 13:49 |
| JackWinter | ikonia: me i want a basic cordless keyboard and mouse. if extra features like mm keys works that is a plus. if battery life is 2 days that would be a frag for me... | 13:49 |
| geirha | xomp: Ok, what happens when you try to connect with the remote desktop viewer then? | 13:49 |
| DasEi1 | artti:location ? your keyboard ? its mostly pc 105 nodeadkeys | 13:49 |

| artti | DasEil, i have that, but i get ~ after i hit two keys, but i'd like to get it with one key. | 13:50 |
| JackWinter | ikonia: so which logitech are you using ? | 13:50 |
| KDB9000 | legend2440, yes | 13:50 |
| ikonia | di-novo's and the generic bottom of the line | 13:50 |

| weboide | Can someone tell me why "df -h" gives me a weird result : /dev/sda1 460G 7,5G 429G 2% (429+7.5 is not equal to 460) | 15:17 |
| x[trick]x | thanks | 15:17 |
| Chousuke | weboide: there's some reserved space, probably. | 15:17 |
| porcodildo | unop, thanks it works :D | 15:17 |
| tonno | It soppost to have the drivers... is linux no? | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | weboide: if its ext3 then the journal takes up some space | 15:17 |
| tinh | hello everyone, the firebird2.0-super keep failing all the times, although I did not install it | 15:17 |
| tinh | is there anyway to get rid of it? | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | tonno: not for display, what grahics card do you have? | 15:17 |
| bobertdos | opt1k: That's not spam. It usually means that you've deleted a buddy from your local list and the one on MSN's servers is now out of sync. | 15:17 |
| porcodildo | unop, do you have some links of tutorials about these redirections? | 15:17 |
| weboide | Chousuke: ActionParsnip: oh okay, it's taking a lot =? | 15:18 |
| jim_p-busy | weboide: i think it hides the 5% thet ext3 reserves for its mantnance | 15:18 |
| maszlo | x[trick]x: there is also a small distrib I found at fluxbuntu.org I have better luck with the ubuntulite... just a little more work on install | 15:18 |
| Sk8rdude | tinh: sudo aptitude purge <package> | 15:18 |
| erUSUL | weboide: 429 + 7.5 + 0.05*460 = 460 | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | weboide: i believe 5-10% is normal | 15:18 |
| weboide | Understood, thank you very much : ))) | 15:18 |
| unop | porcodildo, ask the guys in #bash - they have a good set | 15:18 |
| Chousuke | that's the space reserved for root though, not the journal | 15:18 |
| erUSUL | weboide: 5% per cent on all file systems is reserved for superuser | 15:18 |
| porcodildo | ok | 15:18 |
| Chousuke | you can tune it | 15:18 |
| unop | weboide, what filesystem is the volume formatted as? | 15:18 |
| Chousuke | make it 0.5% or something :) | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | maszlo: its better to install ubuntu, then install fluxbox as fluxbuntu isnt official | 15:19 |
| weboide | unop: ext3 | 15:19 |
| x[trick]x | hope this one will not give me a hard time installing | 15:19 |
| jim_p-busy | Chousuke: do you know the command? i have looked everywhere for it | 15:19 |
| x[trick]x | wish me luck dude | 15:19 |
| x[trick]x | hehehe | 15:19 |
| opt1k | bobertdos: it is spam, i haven't deleted a buddy in a year | 15:19 |
| Chousuke | jim_p-busy: wait a moment | 15:19 |
| unop | weboide, yea, 5% of the space is reserved for superuser blocks | 15:19 |
| tinh | Sk8rdude, thanks alot | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | tonno: what graphics card do you have? | 15:19 |
| weboide | unop: good thing to know, i wasn't aware of that =P | 15:19 |
| opt1k | bobertdos: it started when i logged in from actual msn on my college computer, and got home and now i have all this windows pop up every time i start pidgin | 15:19 |
| unop | weboide, 5% of 460 is about 23 - which makes sense | 15:19 |
| Chousuke | tune2fs -m PERCENTAGE /dev/disk | 15:19 |
| thiebaude | maszlo:im using fluxbox and its really great | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | thiebaude: me too, its sweet and slick | 15:20 |
| Chousuke | it's not good to make it 0 though | 15:20 |
| weboide | unop: you're right | 15:20 |
| jim_p-busy | Chousuke: thanks. can percentage be below 1%? | 15:20 |
| o0Chris0o | does ubuntu offer xfce desktop enviornment? | 15:20 |
| Chousuke | jim_p-busy: not sure | 15:20 |
| Chousuke | jim_p-busy: probably you can sacrifice 1% of space :) | 15:20 |
| weboide | o0Chris0o: xubuntu ? | 15:20 |
| thiebaude | actionparsnip:yea i remmember p: | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | o0Chris0o: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 15:20 |
| o0Chris0o | ahh | 15:20 |
| opt1k | btw, what would be the reason for poor transfer speeds on msn protocol when using every other im except msn live? | 15:20 |
| o0Chris0o | thought that was it | 15:20 |
| jim_p-busy | Chousuke: i can give it 1% but surely not 5% | 15:20 |
| Chousuke | yeah | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | o0Chris0o: id suggest fluxbox over xfce but thats my 2p worth | 15:21 |
| maszlo | thiebaude: what was the window manager that was in fluxbox? | 15:21 |
| o0Chris0o | fluxbox is too clean ;D | 15:21 |
| bobertdos | opt1k: Well, that probably did throw your two lists out of sync. I would perhaps clear out Pidgin's list and let it rebuild itself from the server side. | 15:21 |
| jim_p-busy | Chousuke: and i know that it can be set through the altetnative installer, but when i found it, it was late | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | o0Chris0o: xfce isnt much more | 15:21 |
| Chousuke | jim_p-busy: you can try and see if it accepts 0.5 or something | 15:21 |
| unop | maszlo, fluxbox is the window manager | 15:21 |
| jim_p-busy | Chousuke: ok, thanks | 15:21 |
| opt1k | bobertdos: so you're suggesting that i purge my pidgin list? | 15:21 |
| maszlo | ahh that's why I was confused.. I ended up using openbox | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | kubuntu + fluxbox == winner | 15:22 |
| thiebaude | actionparsnip:8.04 uses alot of memory, but fluxbox doesn't use much | 15:22 |
| simNIX | When i try to ftp netinstall Ubuntu 8.04 I keep getting "Downloading a file failed". Ive tried 4 mirrors and also ftp.ubuntu.com fails. If i switch with alt+f4 I see "DEBUG: resolver (libnewt0.52): package doesn't exist" also same line for efi-modules | 15:22 |
| bobertdos | opt1k: Well, the MSN portion at least. MSN seems to be the only protocol where this is a problem. | 15:22 |
| unop | thiebaude, 8.04 isn't a window manager :) | 15:22 |
| simNIX | is this a error on the ftp servers I need to report somewhere ? | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | simNIX: can you ping websites from the system? | 15:22 |
| Chousuke | hmm, interesting | 15:23 |
| edo32mb|away | how do i find out what 'cards' i'm using to use for the --with-cards option for ./configure for alsa? | 15:23 |
| thiebaude | unop:yup i know | 15:23 |
| Chousuke | it's possible to put the ext3 journal on a separate disk :) | 15:23 |
| opt1k | bobertdos: kk, i'll try, i just remove that the contacts will stay on the server :D | 15:23 |
| xomp | !lamp | 15:23 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:23 |
| Chousuke | might be nice to put it on flash or something | 15:23 |
| unop | thiebaude, so your comparison doesn't make much sense :) | 15:23 |
| thiebaude | unop:when i use ubuntu 8.04 as opposed to fluxbox | 15:23 |
| thiebaude | unpo;it sure does | 15:23 |
| simNIX | ActionParsnip, yes -> also other packages before these are grabed ok | 15:24 |
| unop | thiebaude, i think you mean to say gnome there instead of "ubuntu 8.04" | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | simNIX: maybe it just burped, try again. Its ok from here | 15:24 |
| * ActionParsnip agrees with unop | 15:24 | |
| unop | thiebaude, 8.04 is the version of ubuntu - irrespective of the window manager . in other words, you can run fluxbox on ubuntu 8.04 | 15:24 |
| thiebaude | unop:well yea gnome | 15:24 |
| simNIX | I pxe boot the setup - maybe mine is old ? | 15:24 |

| klax3 | v3ctor: so, rtorrent screen? | 15:29 |
| weboide | klax3: use screen, type screen to start it, then ctrl+A+D to quit, then screen -r to return into the screen | 15:29 |
| maszlo | icedwater: it seems like the most built ide.. not 100% sure though | 15:29 |
| klax3 | ahhh alright thanks weboide | 15:30 |

| unop | patrik, or if you are using ssh from a linux/unix client to access your machine - you could do something like ssh -X user@otherhost 'sudo gdmsetup' | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mftom # To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" on a live cd and see if the problem remains | 16:10 |

| xomp | erUSUL, is there a way to check if my mkv is using such patented technology? | 16:10 |
| unop | patrik, right - that would be the idea with gdmsetup - but it's probably much more efficient to use VNC rather than XDMCP over the internet | 16:11 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mftom actually, I dont have time to ask multiple times when trying to help someone.. I need to go, Good luck with your problem | 16:18 |
| LinuxGhost | hi | 16:18 |
| unop | cached, though you should still always backup your data before using gparted - things can always go wrong (murphy's law) | 16:19 |
| mftom | jack_sparrow: well obviously i don't understand what you wrote, that is why i asked you...or i would have read over what you wrote again. | 16:19 |
| dyllan | hi all. | 16:19 |
| cached | unop: alright i'll try saturday probably. i want time to make backups and to have the weekend to fix whatever it breaks ;) | 16:19 |
| Tonno | ubottu, I can' t do it man :( | 16:19 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:19 |
| opt1k | lol | 16:19 |
| dyllan | Does anybody know what file has to be dited to change the resolution for an XDMCP session? Right now it is on 1024x768 and i need it bigger - thanks. | 16:20 |
| warnet | can anyone help me please | 16:20 |
| unop | dyllan, that would be the xorg.conf | 16:20 |

| attickid925 | Jack_Sparrow: thanks I solved it. I used the "dmsetup remove_all" command | 16:20 |
| Pici | warnet: Why not? Are you getting an error? | 16:20 |
| warnet | yes, | 16:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | attickid925 Glad you got it | 16:21 |
| nownot | v3ctor: weboide: i have /home/user/Videos and i want a folder in /home/user/Desktop/foo to be a shortcut to /home/user/Videos ln -s /home/userVideos /home/user/Desktop/foo isnt working .... what am i dong wrong | 16:21 |
| dyllan | unop: thanks. But my local desktop is capable of 1280x1024 that's what it is running at the moment, doesnt make too much sense to me, surely local picks up its settings from xorg.conf as well? | 16:21 |
| v3ctor | nownot: error? | 16:21 |
| Pici | warnet: What error? | 16:22 |
| warnet | pici : this is its url : http://rafb.net/p/IlA0UI14.html | 16:22 |
| weboide | nownot: cd /home/usr/Desktop && ln -s /home/usr/Videos foo | 16:22 |
| nownot | v3ctor: nah only thing it says is total 0 | 16:22 |
| v3ctor | nownot: try to use it | 16:22 |
| Esquilo | UdontKnow, how can I set my country in FreeNode? | 16:22 |
| nownot | weboide: ok that worked thanks :) | 16:23 |
| unop | dyllan, not necessarily - the xrandr extension allows you to set resolutions without actually modifying the xorg.conf (that is if you adjust desktop resolutions from the gnome/kde control centers) | 16:23 |
| legend2440 | Tonno: in terminal type gksudo displayconfig-gtk and see if you can change resolution from there | 16:23 |
| v3ctor | nownot: a link is just a pointer, it will always say 0 | 16:23 |
| weboide | nownot: np, the pb might be /home/usr/Desktop/foo didn't exist | 16:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Esquilo NOt sure what you are asking, do you want a ubuntu channel for your language? | 16:23 |
| huitang | do you know how to install Qt with eclipse environment on ubuntu? | 16:24 |
| Pici | warnet: What program are you trying to compile? | 16:24 |
| unop | dyllan, you could try using gdmsetup to see if you can set resolutions for the GDM there - though i doubt you'll find anything. to access it. gksudo gdmsetup | 16:24 |
| nownot | it did the problem was i was doing ***** usr/Videos/ foo/ i was adding extra /'s | 16:24 |
| ChrizC | hi, I just got my CD for 8.04 LTS desktop in the post today, I opened it, slapped it into my drive, rebooted the computer to go into auto-install, and about 5-10mins into the install, a lot of text comes up, saying "zlib_inflate" or something like that failed. I checked the cd for defects and it said 2 files had errors. Any help so I can install it asap? | 16:25 |

| huitang | hi,all. how to install eclipse with Qt4 on ubuntu? | 16:25 |
| jrib | ChrizC: it's impossible to use this one if it has defects. | 16:25 |
| Pici | warnet: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 16:25 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: either way, you need another disc. Either you have a bad download, or a bad burned disc. | 16:26 |
| ChrizC | jrib; it's also impossible to install Ubuntu from a non-exsistant disc. | 16:26 |
| warnet | pici : hardy | 16:26 |
| ChrizC | _Zeus_; so you're saying that the company Ubuntu has teamed up with, provides bad discs? | 16:26 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: where di you get this disc? | 16:26 |
| ChrizC | _Zeus_: From Ubuntu's "Request a free CD" page. | 16:27 |
| jrib | ChrizC: I've gotten a couple of bad discs, yeah. Why can't you install ubuntu another way? | 16:27 |

| largehadron | anyone try nvidia twinview mode on hardy? | 16:27 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: it's possible, yes. I mean, they make 1000s of discs, they're bound to be some bad ones | 16:27 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: that doesn't make sense | 16:27 |
| largehadron | its just that when i go into twinview mode, the 2 monitors become one big screen. | 16:27 |
| jrib | ChrizC: there are other ways, check ubottu's link. You can also find a LoCo or LUG in your area that will burn a disc for you | 16:28 |

| Esquilo | Jack_Sparrow, OK, I get it | 16:29 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: that's irc etiquette, there are many users here. we should highlight before each message | 16:29 |
| warnet | pici : where i know it | 16:29 |
| ChrizC | jrib; I can't download it, I can't torrent it, no one in my local area likes Linux, so won't burn it, and the CD's take too long to get here for me to order another one. | 16:29 |

| ChrizC | Chousuke; no torrent software, and as I said, can't download anything without my Windows install failing. | 16:32 |

| _Zeus_ | obviously, it is about windows | 16:34 |
| warnet | pici : thanks alot pici | 16:34 |
| Pici | ChrizC: Lets start over, Whats the problem you are having? | 16:34 |
| cads | is there a way to optimize my system so that the file explorer loads faster and is more snappy (an so that in general things are more responsive)? | 16:34 |
| arvind_khadri | ChrizC, use the minimal install | 16:34 |
| Pici | warnet: did that fix the issue? | 16:34 |
| Chousuke | cads: buy more RAM | 16:35 |
| ChrizC | my problem is, the CD sent to me by Ubuntu is failed | 16:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cads add ram, how much are you running | 16:35 |
| warnet | pici : i'll try it when going home | 16:35 |
| ChrizC | and I need it installed asap | 16:35 |
| cads | 512 | 16:35 |
| IMaverick | is it possible to create 2-3 different sites like x.com, y.com in my laptop ... i wnna do it just to learn php.. what should i do... i already install apache | 16:35 |
| cads | yeah, i suppose that really isn't enough | 16:35 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: so why can't you download a small file? | 16:35 |
| jepp | does anyone know how to change language package of abiword? | 16:35 |
| Chousuke | IMaverick: you don't need a domain to run a website locally | 16:35 |
| ChrizC | _Zeus_, is that small file an iso? | 16:35 |
| arvind_khadri | cads, its enough...just check how much swap you have | 16:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ChrizC yes | 16:36 |
| ChrizC | then I can't burn it propely | 16:36 |
| Pici | ChrizC: The smallest install iso is 8 mb. | 16:36 |
| ChrizC | properly* | 16:36 |
| Chousuke | IMaverick: just install apache, php and connect to http://localhost/whatever.php | 16:36 |
| warnet | pici : now, i'll collect alot information about this problem | 16:36 |
| ChrizC | we're going around in circles here, honestly. | 16:36 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: you know what, we really can't do anything for you here | 16:36 |
| maszlo | any one here have ubuntu on one of the mini dells they released, eeepc or anything like that.. debating on a sub-notebook or a nice N series nokia | 16:36 |

| IMaverick | chouske, want ot create it... how could i do it | 16:36 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ChrizC then we cnat help you.. Fix your hardware, or fix windows or find a friend and dl it .. | 16:36 |

| ChrizC | not my inability | 16:37 |
| citizen42alpha | Why can't you burn a CD ? | 16:37 |
| ChrizC | my drives inability | 16:37 |
| ChrizC | I can burn a CD, it's just my drive will not burn iso's | 16:37 |
| Chousuke | then you need a new drive | 16:37 |
| arvind_khadri | ChrizC, contact a nearby LUG | 16:37 |
| ChrizC | Chousuke; I'm not made of money. | 16:37 |

| citizen42alpha | mhm, arvind is right. | 16:38 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: CD burners are practically free | 16:38 |

| jepp | found some packages but don't know where to extract them | 16:39 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: Your problem is not directly with ubuntu so we can't really help you other than by providing general advice :/ | 16:39 |
| basti | ChrizC, then extract the iso and burn it | 16:39 |
| Pici | jepp: What are you trying to install? | 16:39 |
| warnet | pici : after i install headers for kernel, what i have to do? | 16:40 |
| Pici | warnet: Try to recompile | 16:40 |
| ChrizC | basti; that wouldn't work. You need to make a cd image, not just put it on the cd. | 16:40 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: are you on a live cd? | 16:40 |
| grim76__ | Probably what is happening is the .iso file is burned to the disk vs. the actual image. | 16:40 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: nope, this is a hd install | 16:40 |
| _Zeus_ | bastii don't think you can extract the iso like that | 16:40 |
| sleepy | Can someone help me get the audio to work when I play MKV files? I am new to Ubuntu, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. | 16:40 |
| Pici | jepp: sudo apt-get install packagename | 16:40 |
| _Zeus_ | grim76__: agreed | 16:40 |
| warnet | ok | 16:40 |
| jepp | Pici, I want the spelling checker to check in another language. so i downloaded a package from here http://www.abisource.com/download/abispell.phtml | 16:40 |
| bazhang | sleepy, using vlc? | 16:40 |
| ChrizC | what a surprise, no LUG's near here. | 16:40 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: if you download the iso, you could try burning it from the broken live cd | 16:40 |
| warnet | pici : thanks alot pici | 16:40 |
| mftom | i removed Quiet and Splash and now this is what happens when i try to shutdown: "halt: unable to iterate IDE devices: no such file or directory" | 16:41 |
| ChrizC | _Zeus_; the burning problem isn't with Windows. It's with the actual drive. | 16:41 |
| mftom | and its stuck, it wont shut down, anyone know why? | 16:41 |
| jepp | Pici, but i don't know what to do with this packages | 16:41 |
| sleepy | bazhang> No, I'm using Mplayer | 16:41 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: i don't think you're right | 16:41 |
| ChrizC | _Zeus_ how so | 16:41 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: and there's no way for you to do an USB install? :/ | 16:41 |
| bazhang | sleepy, vlc works great with those | 16:41 |
| ChrizC | Chousuke I have an mp3 player, | 16:42 |
| maszlo | mftom: you removed that from your /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 16:42 |
| sleepy | Ok, Well I'll try, give me one sec to install | 16:42 |
| cads | arvind_khadri: my swap partition is listed in fstab? how do I check it's size? what's a good size? | 16:42 |
| Chousuke | sleepy: you may need to install the w32codecs package | 16:42 |
| _Zeus_ | cads: type free in a termina; | 16:42 |
| _Zeus_ | how much ram do you have? | 16:42 |
| Pici | jepp: For what language? | 16:42 |
| sleepy | How do I do that? | 16:42 |
| LinuxGhost | Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging? | 16:42 |
| arvind_khadri | cads, double the size of the ram | 16:42 |
| jepp | Pici, german | 16:42 |
| LinuxGhost | Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging? | 16:42 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: hm, it might work, if you can somehow get ubuntu on it | 16:42 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install vlc sleepy | 16:42 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: and then boot from it | 16:42 |
| sleepy | No, I mean the win32codecs | 16:42 |
| ChrizC | Chousuke; how? It's 1gb (but I suppose the iso is small) | 16:43 |
| _Zeus_ | arvind_khadri: bad advice | 16:43 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: mount also seems to give strange results, /sys /proc /var/run /var/lock /dev /dev/shm /dev/pts and /sys/kernel/security on it. personally i generate a big question mark. how the hell does this thing actually mount stuff? | 16:43 |
| bazhang | go to www.medibuntu.org and get the package sleepy | 16:43 |
| tj1515 | how can i get a ntfs drive to be mounted at start up right now i have to click on it to mount | 16:43 |
| mftom | maszlo: yes i was told i can do that instead of removin it from livecd | 16:43 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: I'm not sure how to do an USB install, but I know it's possible... now If I just could remember the factoid | 16:43 |
| ChrizC | also, Chousuke, my USB devices don't get turned on until windows bootup. | 16:43 |
| bazhang | !usb | 16:43 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 16:43 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: can you pastebin /etc/fsatb? | 16:43 |
| arvind_khadri | _Zeus_, depends upon the ram size i know but its safe to use it... | 16:43 |
| _Zeus_ | ChrizC: of course they don't | 16:43 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: then you probably need to tweak some bios setting to make it boot from USB | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | arvind_khadri: imho that was a good rule when people had 16-512 MB of ram today with ranges on the 1GB-4GB is too much. equal to ram just in case they want to hibernate is more than enough | 16:44 |
| _Zeus_ | arvind_khadri: exactly. For ex, if you have 2gb ram, a 2gb swap is plenty | 16:44 |
| Chousuke | ChrizC: most modern (and not so modern) computers can boot from USB | 16:44 |
| _Zeus_ | if you have 512mb, then you would want double | 16:44 |
| sleepy | How do I install the win32codecs? | 16:44 |
| ChrizC | Mine's about 8 years old. | 16:44 |
| ChrizC | It was meant for ME x.x | 16:44 |
| cads | I almost wish the system was more swappy: I only have 19 megabytes of main mem free yet a gig of swap is free - y swap is roughly 3 times y memory | 16:44 |
| sleepy | VLC player plays the MKV, but no audio | 16:44 |
| bazhang | sleepy, the instructions are on the page | 16:44 |
| maszlo | mftom: not really sure how that would help other than if your boot if goofed up.. that just removes the ubuntu logo and displays all the output of boot | 16:44 |
| arvind_khadri | erUSUL, _Zeus_ roger that sir :) | 16:44 |
| sleepy | What page? | 16:44 |
| maszlo | mftom: its just sitting there now? | 16:44 |
| Chousuke | cads: *no* you don't | 16:45 |
| sleepy | I missed your post | 16:45 |
| _Zeus_ | cads: why would it use swap if it has 19mb ram free? | 16:45 |
| mftom | yeah lol | 16:45 |
| Pici | a jepp: I think there is a package in the repositories you can use, try State: not a real package | 16:45 |
| bazhang | www.medibuntu.org sleepy | 16:45 |
| warnet | pici : see u later | 16:45 |
| Chousuke | cads: swap is *slow*, RAM is fast | 16:45 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: the box is not currently on the network but even fstab looks strange, it does not have entries for / anywhere. or anything else for that matter except the cdrom and floppy. root and home are mounted in anycase because i can get on the filesystems | 16:45 |
| Pici | jepp: Er sorry. sudo apt-get install aspell-de | 16:45 |
| Chousuke | cads: the OS will avoid using swap at all costs. | 16:45 |
| Chousuke | cads: because it's horribly slow | 16:45 |
| corq-ubu | I have weird "hanging" behavior in Hardy when I have audio input through the line-in jack; it resolves promptly when I unplug the line-in, but I don't see any errors in dmesg - where else might I look? PulseAudio is otherwise well-behaving. I need to record from this jack. Ideas? | 16:45 |
| mftom | yeah a friend of mine said the same thing on how that wouldnt help anything unless my computer froze on bootup but jack sparrow seems to think that would have helped so i tried it out. | 16:45 |
| arvind_khadri | cads, swap is used when all of the main mem is used up | 16:45 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: and the system runs fine? | 16:45 |
| warnet | pici : nice to meet you | 16:45 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: yup | 16:45 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: do you have a /etc/fstab~ file? | 16:45 |
| jepp | Pici, this isn't a package which is used by abIspell i think | 16:45 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: yes i do | 16:45 |
| shingouz | wait | 16:46 |
| shingouz | sec | 16:46 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: take a look at that file | 16:46 |
| cads | I feel like the main mem is being used to store unimportant pages, and it bottlenecks when critical things are trying to run | 16:46 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: nope, only /etc/fstab | 16:46 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: crap | 16:46 |
| Chousuke | cads: that's not true | 16:46 |
| _Zeus_ | anyone know how to force recreation of fstab? | 16:46 |
| Chousuke | cads: as long as swap is not in use, you're good. | 16:46 |
| Pici | jepp: The package dependencies of abiword would leave me to believe that it is | 16:47 |
| Chousuke | cads: if it starts swapping, *then* you can worry about having unneeded things in RAM | 16:47 |
| maszlo | mftom: you happen to make a backup that before hand? it is probably a syntax error.. space or typo or something... that should not keep it from booting.. tahts how all my installs boot | 16:47 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: i *do* have /etc/fstab but not /etc/fstab~ | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | cads: not true. memory used for disk caching is directly reclimable by the system... | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | !ram > cads | 16:47 |
| ubottu | cads, please see my private message | 16:47 |
| _Zeus_ | !fstab | 16:47 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 16:47 |
| jepp | pici, ok i try | 16:47 |
| mftom | im just gonna uncomment off the original stuff that was there and put it back to normal | 16:47 |
| _Zeus_ | how can shingouz force auto recreation of fstab?? | 16:47 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: can you check out /etc/mtab? | 16:47 |
| cads | i'll check out the guides | 16:48 |
| Chousuke | cads: to make it short: Linux knows better than you how to use swap and RAM. :) | 16:48 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: sec | 16:48 |
| jepp | Pici, doesn't work | 16:48 |
| jfincher | so I've got my samsung blackjack II connected via USB to my Hardy desktop, and it shows up in lsusb, but I don't have a /dev/ttyACM0 that I can use as a USB modem -- anyone know what's gone wrong? | 16:48 |
| legend2440 | shingouz: in order to see the fstab~ file you have to hit ctrl+h to un hide it | 16:48 |
| uzivatel | zdar | 16:48 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: the same systems are mentioned in mtab as i have listed before | 16:48 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: i assume you are working in a terminal | 16:48 |
| cads | Chousuke: there are alternate swapping methods as well | 16:48 |

| erUSUL | legend2440: *~ are not hidden they are files created by some text editors as backups. but not all editors create them | 16:49 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: you assume correctly. legend2440 ls -a /etc/fstab* only gives me fstab | 16:49 |
| Pici | jepp: Sorry, ask again in here then. I thought that would fix it. | 16:49 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: thanks. also thanks legend2440 for being through | 16:49 |
| _Zeus_ | Pici: do you know how to recreate fstab? | 16:49 |
| jepp | does anyone know how to change language package of abiwords dictionary? | 16:50 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: my personal favorite for fstab recreation is vi ;) | 16:50 |

| bazhang | sleepy, you dont need the repos for that | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | LinuxGhost: you will have to be more specific and informative if you want help | 16:51 |

| bazhang | sleepy, only the one package | 16:51 |

| ratnakar | hi folks | 16:51 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: i guess you could try your hand at doing it yourself, but i don't get how / can be unmounted | 16:51 |
| _Zeus_ | !hi | 16:51 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:51 |
| shingouz | hehe.. this is insane. mount tells me the dirve is not mounted but thunar can see it nicely. i can also work on the apparently *un*mounted filesystem from a terminal without any problems | 16:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Zeus_ It would still need some work, but it would give you a basic starting point | 16:51 |
| tzolkin | Someone Help me, I mount my ntfs disk in XUbuntu, but I can't write it. How can I fix it?? | 16:51 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: ditto :D | 16:51 |
| ratnakar | how do i change a password for vsftp virtual user? | 16:52 |
| _Zeus_ | shingouz: i assume you have rebooted? | 16:52 |
| sleepy | Oh I see, ok I'm downloading the .dep file for the win32codecs, I'll install in one second when it's done | 16:52 |
| shingouz | _Zeus_: a few times, this is not a new install | 16:52 |
| legend2440 | erUSUL: thats strange. i can only see the fstab~ file in my /etc if i select view >show hidden files | 16:52 |
| _Zeus_ | tzolkin: use the driver ntfs-3g? | 16:52 |
| ratnakar | hi linuxghost | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | legend2440: maybe nautilus has a different menaing for hidden file as a shell user my definitio is tradicional unix e.g files that begin with a dot | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | legend2440: XD | 16:53 |
| sleepy | After install, do I need a reboot? | 16:53 |
| Nece228 | why fglrx is slower than radeon in compiz? | 16:53 |

| _Zeus_ | lubyou: i don't think you'll lose internet, no | 16:55 |
| erUSUL | lubyou: you will have to configure network via /etc/network/interfaces | 16:55 |
| sleepy | Do I need to reboot the machine after installing the win32codecs to get them to work? Because after running the install I still don't get audio | 16:55 |
| _Zeus_ | sleepy: i doubt it | 16:56 |
| sleepy | Then what else can I try to get MKV audio to work, it's the only kind of file I'm having trouble with | 16:56 |
| shingouz | sleepy: do you get the audio anywhere on the system right now? | 16:56 |
| cads | is there a tool like for firefox which can analyze exactly what the heck it's doing with 24% of my memory? firetop, perhaps :D | 16:56 |

| lubyou | erUSUL http://dpaste.com/79764/. thats my network/interfaces. The box is currently connected over ppp0. Does that config seem ok to you? | 16:57 |
| shingouz | sleepy: i would check the settings on the application you have problems with first, maybe it is trying to shoot the sound off to oss when you are running alsa or vice versa | 16:57 |
| sleepy | I'm running Alsa, and I've tried setting it to Alsa as it was initially set on "default" | 16:58 |
| nnull | what do you guys use for flash in firefox? only reason i ask is i remember last time, i tried 3-6 different flash packages and only 1 worked.. | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | lubyou: yep seems ok. althought never used interfaces with ppp connections... | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | nnull: flashplugin-nonfree | 16:58 |

I'm trying to create a pbuilder environment, but I have a bit of an unreliable internet connection... unfortunately, when the creation process fails to download a file, it deletes everything it has downloaded so far and I have to start again from the beginning. Unless I'm missing something, I can't find a way to turn that "feature" off. I'm starting my third attempt.... | 16:58 |
| shingouz | sleepy: and that application you are having problems with does not have the sound muted? | 16:59 |

| cyban | Not sure why I get this all the time in Terminal (sudo: unable to resolve host cyban-laptop) ? | 17:13 |
| shingouz | CheeseTrap: either make the file immutable or do a nice small script that copies your preferred DNS settings every time your network gets its dhcp ack | 17:13 |
| klikklak | Hi, has anyone built gamefu 0.2 beta? I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/d3bf1fcb | 17:14 |
| kaffeefilter | cyban: maybe you should include your hostname in your /etc/hosts? | 17:14 |
| klikklak | something about fpic, should I add something in the makefile? | 17:14 |
| wes | CheeseTrap: I have a wireless enabled laptop attempting to connect to a wireless router | 17:14 |
| legend2440 | xomp: if there is i don't know it | 17:14 |
| xomp | legend2440, hmm ok thanks. Would you know how I would go about adding my home directory and "Computer" directory as shortcuts to my desktop in Gnome? :) | 17:14 |
| CheeseTrap | Thanks for the answer shingouz, what is the best way to make the file permanent? I thought "sudo chmod 0444 /etc/resolv.conf" would have done that | 17:15 |
| wes | I'm hardwired in to it now, running ubuntu and I have vista (boo) also bootable | 17:15 |
| legend2440 | xomp: in terminal type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible | 17:16 |
| hmmmmm | guys, i want to run something before I even login as a user, how do I start a service that way? | 17:16 |
| shingouz | CheeseTrap: make it immutable but be aware that sometimes you do not get a working connection if the dhcp client cannot modify the resolv.conf | 17:16 |
| IdentifyTarget | Hey all! how do I find out what version of ubuntu I'm using? | 17:16 |
| cyban | kaffeefilter, ah forgot that got removed - its 127.0.0.1 right? | 17:16 |
| _Zeus_ | IdentifyTarget: lsb_release -rd | 17:16 |
| arvind_khadri | IdentifyTarget, lsb_release -a | 17:17 |
| CheeseTrap | Shingouz, what do you mean by immutable? Isn't chmod 0444 completely read-only? | 17:17 |
| hbalanzar | Hi everyone, has anybody had problems with vertical lines on LCD after, persistant after reboot on POST. After installing UBUNTU 8.04?? (intel 915 Chipset) | 17:17 |
| IdentifyTarget | 8.04.1 | 17:17 |
| IdentifyTarget | latest? | 17:17 |
| arvind_khadri | IdentifyTarget, ya | 17:17 |

| kaffeefilter | cyban: yeah, 127.0.0.1 and ::1 | 17:17 |
| IdentifyTarget | cool, one more question. I have WINE installed, how do I update it? | 17:18 |
| anothernewb | no hylafax users i take it | 17:18 |
| xomp | thanks legend2440 lol, would be much simpler for Gnome to make it an obvious option, especially for those coming from Windows to Linux. | 17:18 |
| CheeseTrap | thanks again Shing | 17:18 |
| jfm001old | anybody using realplayer 11 | 17:18 |
| arvind_khadri | IdentifyTarget, it would get update when you run dist-upgrade if there is a new version in the repo | 17:18 |
| IdentifyTarget | what the hell, #WINE is invite only.... :\ | 17:18 |
| CheeseTrap | Xomp, you can also just drag and drop :) | 17:18 |
| arvind_khadri | IdentifyTarget, their support channel is #winehq | 17:19 |
| CheeseTrap | Xomp>> or right click and make link then drag that | 17:19 |
| IdentifyTarget | ty | 17:19 |
| arvind_khadri | IdentifyTarget, welcome :) | 17:19 |
| xomp | CheeseTrap, drag and drop doesn't work to place the Computer and Home icons to the desktop, I've tried from damn near every possible location that Computer & Home show up lol | 17:19 |
| hmmmmm | guys, i want to run something before I even login as a user, how do I start a service that way? | 17:20 |
| mizipzor | is there anything on the livecd that lets my resize existing partitions? | 17:20 |

| IdentifyTarget | hey can ubuntu natively mount isos? | 17:21 |
| shingouz | hmmmmm: put it in your .bashrc ? | 17:21 |
| xomp | CheeseTrap, yeah, some things you can drag from the menu list to your desktop, but Home & such just simply open if you try and drag them lol. So backwards feeling from an old Windows user standpoint. | 17:21 |
| xomp | IdentifyTarget, sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso/yourfile.iso /home/username/a_folder_of_your_choice | 17:22 |
| jamil123456789 | I have geany on ubuntu and windows. Geany runs fine ubunu but on windows when I compile the java code a console appears for a second and I dont see compilation errors in geany | 17:22 |

| emilien_ | I can connect to wpa router, and ping google | 17:22 |
| emilien_ | but i have no internet | 17:22 |
| xomp | IdentifyTarget, I made an "ISO" folder in my /home directory, it's easier to remember when you're mounting :) You'll notice an CD icon on your desktop too that you can open. | 17:23 |
| Osse | Is there a quick way to make 2 files into one (just containing text) and sorting the lines? =) | 17:23 |
| IdentifyTarget | cool. | 17:23 |
| CheeseTrap | shingouz, attrib --h and man attrib tell me i haven't got that, and sudo apt-get install attrib says it's not available... if you meant another use of chmod, the word 'immutable' doesn't appear anywhere in the chmod manpage according to the search tool for string 'immu' - any suggestions? | 17:23 |
| cyban | kaffeefilter, thanks, does it have default as 127.0.0.1/ip4-allhosts or needs to be 127.0.0.1/system-name | 17:23 |
| jamil123456789 | any help ? | 17:23 |
| emilien_ | anyone help me with my wpa problem | 17:23 |
| _Zeus_ | jamil123456789: what is geany? | 17:24 |
| IdentifyTarget | one more question. Am I doing something wrong, trying to connect to SMB share? Places -> Connect to Server -> Windows Share -> share name -> connect...Instantly pops up "Can't display location, no application is registered to handle this" | 17:24 |
| xomp | jamil123456789, try asking in #windows | 17:24 |
| shingouz | CheeseTrap: sec, let me check | 17:24 |
| jamil123456789 | geany is light weight IDE | 17:24 |
| _Zeus_ | IDE? | 17:24 |
| hmmmmm | emilien_: just a suggestion, but if you put everything into one single post, I am sure you might make it easier for someone else to assist you | 17:24 |

| CheeseTrap | Osse: maybe some use of cp --link? type cp --help into a terminal window for details | 17:25 |
| shingouz | CheeseTrap: apt-get install attr | 17:25 |
| CheeseTrap | Osse> that might be for making shortcuts not linking two files together though, i'm only new myself :) | 17:26 |
| phoenixz | cyban: thanks! | 17:26 |
| Osse | CheeseTrap - cp is copy. | 17:26 |
| Dustan | what is it called when I want to use the terminal to manipulate the text in a file? | 17:26 |
| xomp | Dustan, sed ? | 17:27 |
| jim_p | nano textfile | 17:27 |
| ^Devious^ | hi | 17:27 |
| CheeseTrap | Osse> yes but on windoze copy source1+source2 dest = concatenate multiple files :P | 17:27 |
| shingouz | Osse: cat file1 >> file2 adds file1 after file2 | 17:27 |
| cyban | Dustan, nano/vi/sed/pick a text editor | 17:27 |
| xomp | gksudo gedit /path/file.txt? | 17:27 |
| CheeseTrap | so I was trying to see if cp had such an option | 17:27 |
| xomp | take a pick lol | 17:27 |
| IdentifyTarget | Is this normal for SMB shares in ubuntu "Can't display location, no application is registered to handle this" | 17:27 |
| Dustan | I want to remove X characters from the end of each line | 17:27 |

| ^Devious^ | I get that error "unable to resolve" | 17:27 |
| ^Devious^ | sometimes | 17:28 |
| cyban | Pers3UX, add 127.0.0.1/computername to hosts in Network | 17:28 |
| ^Devious^ | its usually after a sudo apt-get install | 17:28 |
| shingouz | Osse: sed might help. depends on what you mean by "sorting" | 17:28 |
| cyban | and 127.0.1.1/computername | 17:28 |
| Pers3UX | Shingouz, ok thx | 17:28 |
| ^Devious^ | but I've noticed its a warranted issue - when installing other programs, or not cleaning up after sudo install | 17:28 |
| ^Devious^ | I could be wrong? | 17:28 |

| ^Devious^ | Yes now I am running KUBUNTU - I also installed gnome (Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-deskop) | 17:38 |

| sca | i want to connect mi microphone and speakers at the same time.... | 17:46 |
| cyban | Vladimir[LV], hrm, other than just starting over again and trying to set up the softraid im not sure, 99% of the time its just the install options you chose | 17:46 |
| emilien_ | cyban, is this it ? http://www.robtex.com/dns/freebox.fr.html | 17:46 |
| ^Devious^ | well mizipzor - Hirens boot cd - does exactly that - its a CLI dos based boot disk providing your machine can boot from CD | 17:46 |
| sca | not microphone sorry, my earphones... | 17:47 |
| mizipzor | ^Devious^, my box dont have a cd device | 17:47 |
| carnelain | can somebody help me with a stuck upgrade? | 17:47 |
| genii | mizipzor: Unfortunately linux has no satisfactory replacement tool for CHKDSK (or older SCANDISK). But you can mark the filesystem clean by force, not recommended. | 17:47 |
| cyban | emilien_, 192.93.0.129 and 192.228.90.21 add those to DNS in Network | 17:48 |

| mizipzor | genii: then ill take the not recomended route ;) once i backup anything that i remotely care about | 17:48 |
| emilien_ | cyban, ok added no luck il reboot | 17:50 |
| Vladimir[LV] | cyban what install options? | 17:51 |
| ^Devious^ | nnull - yeah.... Although the amount of software available just blows me away to be honest with linux...... I've been trying linux since Red hat 7.2 - And now I'm in love with Kubuntu.....Feels like there is something missing but I'll get there | 17:52 |
| genii | mizipzor: man ntfsfix | 17:52 |
| Andeh | Hi. How do I decrease vertical line spacing very much in OpenOffice? | 17:52 |
| citizen42alpha | KDE seems clunky compared to Gnome. | 17:52 |
| Andeh | I've gotten it down to zero but it's not nearly enough with the font size | 17:52 |

| Zidatron | hey guys | 17:53 |
| ^Devious^ | purlD - Hirens boot cd would help with this problem - it has some MBR fixing tools - Im not sure if MBR is corrupt or not - you might even want to try installing GAG 4.0 - which is a boot loader that can hide partitions and do lots of magical boot things - its free | 17:53 |
| ^Devious^ | no cd.... ok | 17:53 |
| carnelain | sorry for asking again, but could somebody help me on an upgrade thats stuck? | 17:53 |
| ^Devious^ | so - who had the 2 outputs? Who needs help with that one | 17:53 |
| ^Devious^ | oh my goodness.......I have like a 20+ second lag with this thing | 17:53 |
| liza0 | hello | 17:54 |
| case^ | hi | 17:54 |
| ^Devious^ | whoever wanted to get 2 outputs going if its 2 sound cards basically you can do a line in line out config - its even better if you hook it up to a mixerr......if you wanted to get both cards outputting simeltaenously this would have to be done at driver level or with a Virtual DJ style mixing program........... | 17:54 |
| ghost1k | hi | 17:54 |
| ^Devious^ | I have done 3 sound cards in one machine --- going way back when I was a DJ | 17:54 |
| ^Devious^ | 1 isa sound card 2 PCI | 17:54 |
| ^Devious^ | KDE I personally find is actually much better recently - I definitely preerred GNOME back in the red hat 7 days......but KDE is heaps better now for me........ GNOME is way faster though - just lacking what KDA has hey | 17:54 |
| ^Devious^ | *kde | 17:54 |
| genii | mizipzor: There is another one for explicitly forcing the fs to be marked clean, but it eludes me offhand (I do not use ntfs anymore). When you try to mount it it may say something about how to do it from there | 17:54 |

| Zidatron | i have the following problem: i use ubuntu-64 and want to compile a program for i386, and gcc gives me: "undefined reference to `__umoddi3'" - i think that means gcc cant find the 32bit-libgcc, but apt says lib32gcc1 is installed | 17:55 |
| Zidatron | how can i solve that? | 17:55 |
| Zidatron | or, wheres the problem? | 17:56 |
| ^Devious^ | im not sure about that one liza I installed blackbox and a few others as WM's only | 17:56 |

| carnelain | my upgrade stopped running whilst trying to update Grub. I now have a blinking cursor in me distribution upgrade screen | 17:57 |
| Zidatron | ^Devious^: well, its not a program for linux, but im pretty sure _someone_ knows how to solve this | 17:57 |
| carnelain | what can I do to resume the upgrade | 17:57 |
| BinaryFu | I've got an idea for one, but I have no clue how to go about it. :D | 17:57 |
| Andeh | Is there a trick to make vertical line spacing lower than 0 in OO Writer? Cause at 0 it's still too big for my design | 17:57 |
| Andeh | and the value doesnt want to go lower than 0 | 17:58 |
| Zidatron | BinaryFu: why dont you just read some tutorials for gtk or qt? | 17:58 |
| Zidatron | google is your friend. | 17:58 |
| hog | carnelain, so you in a console not on X? | 17:58 |
| ^Devious^ | yeah.....sorry zida - let us know | 17:58 |
| BinaryFu | Zidatron: Hmmm...good point. gtk is what I'd be looking for then, for gnome I presume... | 17:58 |
| carnelain | hog, exactly | 17:58 |
| BinaryFu | Zidatron: What was it you were trying to figure out, btw? | 17:59 |
| Zidatron | BinaryFu: yes, for example. if you want to code for gnome specifically, who might also want to look into glib | 17:59 |
| Zidatron | BinaryFu: i wanted to compile a program for i386 on my 64bit machine | 17:59 |
| ^Devious^ | I was amazed with Konsole Aliases yesterday...... So simple compared to DOS | 17:59 |
| hog | carnelain, can you switch consoles(Alt+Fn{x}) and ps to see if the update is running if not, see what is in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:59 |
| Zidatron | but gcc doesnt seem to find the right libs/headers | 17:59 |
| ndee | hello there, what's the best flash player for using in ubuntu? Sometimes, I don't get sound for a flash movie when I listen to music in rhythmbox. | 18:00 |
| BinaryFu | Zidatron: I think the only way to do that is to include all the i386 tools it needs. | 18:00 |
| carnelain | hog, sorry what is that shortcut? | 18:00 |
| jimcooncat | What's a simple way to make a personal repository? | 18:00 |
| BinaryFu | Zidatron: So, in short, a pain in the ass. | 18:00 |
| ^Devious^ | What are some good BEGINNER program tools for creating applications ZIDA? | 18:00 |
| Zidatron | BinaryFu: you wouldnt know how to do that? | 18:00 |
| hog | carnelain, Ctrl+Alt+Fn(x), x=1,2,3,4...6 | 18:00 |
| Zidatron | ^Devious^: no idea. a text editor? | 18:00 |
| Zidatron | (gedit, gcc, ld?) | 18:00 |
| Guma_ | Can you turn on multi monitor support in LiveCD | 18:01 |
| ^Devious^ | really? | 18:01 |
| ^Devious^ | wow | 18:01 |
| BinaryFu | Zidatron: I haven't messed with ia64 since...hmmm...Breezy? But if I recall, you have to add the i386 repositories to your apt, and then it's the usual, but you don't want to slap too much in there, so be selective on your downloads. | 18:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zidatron: to build 32-bit on 64-bit install the package lib32gcc1 and and use the -m32 flag to gcc | 18:01 |
| Zidatron | ^Devious^: maybe the qt package would be nicer to you, with QtDesigner you can actually design the form (window) with your mouse.. | 18:01 |
| rrittenhouse | How do you make a .deb from source? The source (barry) already has a debian folder I just can't remember the command to try and build it. | 18:01 |
| ^Devious^ | thanks zida | 18:02 |
| Zidatron | IntuitiveNipple: as i wrote earlier, lib32gcc1 seems to be installed. | 18:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rrittenhouse: fakeroot debian/rules binary | 18:02 |
| Zidatron | welcome | 18:02 |
| ^Devious^ | I think I'll start off by getting better at the CLI | 18:02 |
| rrittenhouse | IntuitiveNipple, thanks | 18:02 |
| carnelain | hog, one program returned a failure not sure which one | 18:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zidatron: Is the Makefile using -m32 ? | 18:02 |
| Zidatron | IntuitiveNipple: and i am using -m32, but gcc says he cant find __umoddi3 and __udivdi3 .. | 18:02 |
| ^Devious^ | before I write apps | 18:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Zidatron: ahh.... you need the other libs, let me try and remember which! | 18:03 |

| true\false | BinaryFu: Heh, easier said than done when I'm a CS student, and prefer .NET as a platform | 18:17 |

| BinaryFu | I mean, badger. | 18:19 |
| LinuxGhost | Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!! | 18:19 |
| alice_ | hiyah | 18:19 |
| ^Devious^ | breezy bastard?? What the? lol | 18:19 |
| true\false | BinaryFu: Aye, I'll try to get a decent understanding, I'm just too lazy to get it set up right now to be honest | 18:19 |
| BobC2 | I did all on line it wa awesome! | 18:19 |
| zibri | 5.04.. memories | 18:19 |
| cyban | I am a Fedora user, tryung Ubunto for a while since F9 sux | 18:19 |
| BobC2 | was* | 18:19 |
| BinaryFu | Freudian slip. | 18:19 |
| true\false | I figure that I HAVE to reinstall windows within a fortnight | 18:19 |
| JeyPeyy | ubottu: Yes I know, but I want to build all of ubuntu from scratch | 18:19 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:19 |
| Guma_ | cyban: So I have to get real RAID card? Since the one on my MB will not be supports? | 18:19 |
| ^Devious^ | well couldnt you just do this at CLI ??? Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?? wouldnt that install packages needed that are missing? | 18:20 |
| JeyPeyy | using rock linux or something | 18:20 |
| BobC2 | lol | 18:20 |
| BinaryFu | true\false: But...with WUBI, there's not much "set up" to do. It's like installing a windows program...literally. | 18:20 |
| Odd-rationale | JeyPeyy: maybe try gentoo ? | 18:20 |
| ^Devious^ | Cant you do a software LVM raid or something? | 18:20 |
| cyban | Guma_, there is no real advantage to fakeraid - use softraid as a replacement | 18:20 |
| Odd-rationale | JeyPeyy: or LFS? | 18:20 |
| LinuxGhost | Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!! | 18:20 |
| BobC2 | Easier than Windows..really! | 18:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | JeyPeyy: All the source code is available manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com, or automatically per-package using "apt get source <package-name>" | 18:20 |
| cyban | fakeraid for Windows, softraid for Linux/UNIX/BSD | 18:20 |
| ^Devious^ | linuxghost did you read my response | 18:20 |
| LinuxGhost | no | 18:20 |
| true\false | BinaryFu: Hmm, I don't see how that will work entirely :s but it's on the standard image I'll be downloading? | 18:21 |
| ^Devious^ | whats the alternate to apt-get that is easier to remove if something goes wrong | 18:21 |
| ^Devious^ | i dont remember it | 18:21 |
| alice_ | is this a chat room | 18:21 |
| ^Devious^ | let me load up a console and check | 18:21 |
| Odd-rationale | ^Devious^: aptitude? | 18:21 |
| ^Devious^ | BINGO thanks odd ration | 18:21 |
| ^Devious^ | thats te one | 18:21 |
| Guma_ | cyban: How can I do that? I am trying to install 8.04 on my 680i SLI MB and in Bios it reports Stripe RAID but Ubuntu sees it as two separate drives. Any help is appriciates. | 18:21 |
| BinaryFu | ^Devious^: That would work, but if he's got corrupted configs, he might need to do the fancy options I can't remember. | 18:21 |
| BobC2 | yep alice this is a chat room | 18:21 |
| alice_ | kk | 18:21 |
| BinaryFu | true\false: Yes. And it works using elfin magic. | 18:22 |
| LinuxGhost | Devious? in command line type sudo apt-get only? | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | omg I actually made a half valid suggestion.....it means im actually learning something | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | me pats myself on back | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | Linux ghost | 18:22 |
| cyban | Guma_, disable Fakeraid in BIOS, use Ubuntu install to configure a Software RAID array | 18:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Guma_: That sounds like SoftRAID - and you'll need the matching driver. It might be dmraid you need | 18:22 |
| LinuxGhost | Devious? | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | you know what I really love that I did in linux | 18:22 |
| unop | alice_, it's not a chat room - it's a support channel - off topic chat goes in #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | if you google how to edit your bash.rc file | 18:22 |
| Guma_ | ok Thanx guys | 18:22 |
| BinaryFu | ^Devious^: Browse porn without getting a trojan? | 18:22 |
| alice_ | wot do u all talk abut comp | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | you can add an ALIAS | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | LOL BINARY | 18:22 |
| BobC2 | Oppps sorry alice | 18:22 |
| ^Devious^ | Nah thats why people buy MAC systems!!!! lmao | 18:23 |
| Pici | !ot | alice_ | 18:23 |
| ubottu | alice_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:23 |
| ^Devious^ | better for graphics | 18:23 |
| cyban | If Ubuntu has Softraid options, I assume it does since most every other Linux distro does.... | 18:23 |
| alice_ | sorry 4 wot | 18:23 |
| LinuxGhost | DEvious, put name/nick when u wrte advise | 18:23 |
| true\false | BinaryFu, ^Devious^ : Thanks, will just try a few different things out between now and formatting. :) | 18:23 |
| unop | alice_, we support ubuntu here | 18:23 |
| BinaryFu | ^Devious^: Lies. Ubuntu is peachy for graphics, and macs are PCs now. | 18:23 |
| ^Devious^ | ok now im lost between all talks | 18:23 |
| alice_ | oh kk | 18:23 |
| LinuxGhost | Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!! | 18:23 |
| ^Devious^ | So macs are pc's and peaches are for pears and pc's ? | 18:23 |
| BobC2 | It is a chat room used to help with Ubuntu ...What's in a name? lol | 18:24 |
| ^Devious^ | ok sorry LINUXGHOST | 18:24 |
| alice_ | can u go one2one wid someone | 18:24 |
| Pici | ^Devious^: This is still a support channel, if you want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere | 18:24 |
| unop | !pm | alice_ | 18:24 |
| ubottu | alice_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 18:24 |
| cyban | LinuxGhost, apt-get --help, clean it up a little might fix it | 18:24 |
| BobC2 | best to ask a question here many will see it and help | 18:24 |
| Odd-rationale | alice_: yes. but you need to registered... | 18:24 |
| ^Devious^ | Edit bash rc and add something like ALIAS GET="sudo apt-get install" | 18:24 |
| Odd-rationale | !register | alice_ | 18:25 |
| ubottu | alice_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. | 18:25 |
| cyban | clean, upgrade, check etc | 18:25 |
| ^Devious^ | and then every time you type GET in the CLI it will perform that command | 18:25 |
| unop | ^Devious^, that will not work for a few reasons | 18:25 |
| alice_ | have u all got webbook or heard of em | 18:25 |
| Pici | Odd-rationale: You do not need to be registered to send private messages on freenode. | 18:25 |
| kevin_ | hardy heron, dell inspiron 6000, hp p1170 external monitor, i want to soley use external monitor when it's connected to laptop and i want the laptop screen to be off | 18:25 |
| unop | Pici, hmm | 18:25 |
| Odd-rationale | Pici: oh sorry. has that change? or always been that way? | 18:25 |
| ^Devious^ | so then LINUXGHOST you can then actually easily install several packages including Ubuntu - but as it was mentioned I dont know if that will work | 18:25 |
| JeyPeyy | Thanx everyone who helped me out | 18:25 |
| Pici | Odd-rationale: It changed a few months ago | 18:25 |
| BobC2 | <---does not know of webbook | 18:25 |
| rsc-- | alice, whats webbook? ^^ | 18:25 |
| Odd-rationale | Pici: thx for the update... | 18:26 |
| BinaryFu | kevin_: That's more of a bios issue than Linux. | 18:26 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban, wount it clean all hard disk? | 18:26 |
| unop | ^Devious^, linux (or in this case, bash) commands are case-sensitive .. ALIAS is not a valid command | 18:26 |
| ^Devious^ | so it must be lower case unop? Thanks for the knowhow | 18:26 |
| kevin_ | BinaryFu: what?windows can do this no problem | 18:26 |
| unop | ^Devious^, and "bash rc" wouldn't be a valid rc file for a default bash setup atleast | 18:27 |
| cyban | LinuxGhost, your in Ubuntu right, not mid install? | 18:27 |
| BinaryFu | kevin_: Then you have a setting in bios to do so, I presume...what video card are you using? | 18:27 |
| cyban | kevin_, Close the laptop lid | 18:27 |
| BobC2 | can view YouTube now in 8.04 and it saw my digital camera too! WhoooHoooo! | 18:27 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban,ham? i dint understand,sorry | 18:27 |
| xintron | ok, I'm on this server trying to get syntax hilighting to work in vim but it doesn't. "ls -C" returns with colors but I couldn't set up to get colors in vim, where should I start? | 18:27 |
| ^Devious^ | lovely bobc2 | 18:27 |
| kevin_ | BinaryFu: intel915 i think | 18:27 |
| cyban | LinuxGhost, you're all set, on Ubuntu just errors etc, or you're having problems installing? | 18:28 |
| unop | xintron, :syntax on | 18:28 |
| ^Devious^ | I was delighted to find that when I plug in just about any USB printer it picks it up automagically | 18:28 |
| kevin_ | cyban: doesn't do anything, closed lid is closey but screen is till on, as clone | 18:28 |
| ^Devious^ | no driver install disks | 18:28 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban,apt-get --help then clean option? | 18:28 |
| BobC2 | Really is Devious ... I'm SOOOO impressed | 18:28 |
| xintron | unop: ofc :) | 18:28 |
| BobC2 | nice pic editing tools too | 18:28 |
| ^Devious^ | youtube is REALLY slow with a 1mb gfx card though lol bob | 18:28 |
| xintron | unop: it's not that easy cuz it won't work with my .bashrc file either (with some colors to it) | 18:28 |
| Guma_ | cyban: How much difference in speed is between real RAID card and dmraid? It is worth getting hardware RAID? I am interested in RAID 0 | 18:28 |
| === nn_ is now known as Guest6476 | ||
| cyban | LinuxGhost, no just apt-get --help read the different options like sudo apt-get autoclean | 18:28 |
| ^Devious^ | and also I was impressed that I plugged in a sata / ide usb converter and it picks up straight off bat | 18:28 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban, ive installed ubuntu for long time just now having booting troubleshooting | 18:29 |
| unop | xintron, i fail to see how vim commands are somehow tied with .bashrc ? | 18:29 |
| BinaryFu | kevin_: Then go into System - Preferences - Screen Resolution and turn of Clone Screens. | 18:29 |
| BobC2 | well its my 256 mb memory that's slow now | 18:29 |
| ^Devious^ | brb | 18:29 |
| VanarP | Help installing me fluxbuntu with iso please ! | 18:29 |
| cyban | kevin_, try vid card upgrade, also check your power management options - im on a laptop, lid closed, screen on laptop is off | 18:29 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban, ok i will try now be there ill be back | 18:29 |
| unop | xintron, or maybe you want to turn syntax highlighting for when you edit a .bashrc? is what what you mean? | 18:29 |
| xintron | unop: I meant to get the "what it's called, where the username@host: is" | 18:29 |
| VanarP | help | 18:29 |
| unop | xintron, that's the bash prompt | 18:30 |
| xintron | unop: that line colored (copied from my own machine to the server but it still doesn't get that color) | 18:30 |
| xintron | unop: yeah | 18:30 |
| cyban | Guma - for RAID 0 IMO its not worth it but thats just opinion, unless you need RAID 3, 5, 7 no point going and spending the cash for the RAID controllers | 18:30 |
| ^Devious^ | I wonder how it is possible to install a distro from an ISO at a command prompt booting from BIOS | 18:30 |
| ^Devious^ | without a CD | 18:30 |
| Odd-rationale | !install | ^Devious^ | 18:30 |
| ubottu | ^Devious^: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| carandraug | anyone knows how to find the actual refresh rate through the terminal? Taking a look at xorg.conf "VertRefresh" only gives me a range of values and xdpyinfo gives me no information on the actual refresh rate (so it seems me) | 18:30 |
| BobC2 | Anyone know if web cams work with 8.04? | 18:31 |
| BinaryFu | BobC2: Most do. | 18:31 |
| unop | xintron, well, there are a couple of things that could stop colours from being displayed in a terminal .. one, the terminal itself does not support colours, two, the PS1 variable isn't using colours, three, the TERM evironmental variable is setup wrong for your terminal. | 18:31 |

| Mikey | Yeah very difficult to find driver...which is somewhere...just can't find it | 18:46 |
| tactics | VanarP, never heard of fluxbuntu - but most linux distros use an iso to install yes | 18:46 |
| bazzieb|nb | having a problem with vmware and i read that i need to disable SELinux | 18:46 |
| BinaryFu | Vladimir[LV]: You should not need to CD, it should just pop up a window with the contents...but...if it doesn't, you could go to Places and see if it's mounted. Other than that, if you MUST use the CLI, then I would go /media/ and ls to see what's new in there. | 18:46 |

| benzs_s | noob question: how do you rename files via terminal | 18:48 |
| BinaryFu | Vladimir[LV]: I gotcha, yeah, just do a CD to /media | 18:48 |

| VanarP | but i dont have any distro already ,unop ? | 18:48 |
| benzs_s | unop: mv, cool | 18:48 |
| unop | benzs_s, mv old_filename new_filename | 18:48 |
| BinaryFu | Vladimir[LV]: And do an ls to see what's in there, it's probably just mounted as "disk" or something like that. | 18:48 |
| Mikey | heh BinaryFu: I've spent hours doing that mate :P | 18:48 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: What's the model of it again? | 18:49 |

| IdentifyTarget | you guys have GOT to be kidding me. I expect this from windows but from ubuntu......start ubuntu without a computer plugged in "Keyboard fauiler, press F1 to continue or F2 to enter setup" | 18:52 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: Can you give me a pastebin of your xorg.conf? | 18:52 |
| Mikey | Just curious to see if the drivers I just installed are working.... | 18:52 |
| IdentifyTarget | *without a keyboard plugged in | 18:52 |
| unop | VanarP, how are you starting the install exactly? | 18:52 |
| rsc-- | IdentifyTarget, that's not Ubuntu's fault. that's your BIOS doing that | 18:52 |
| Mikey | let me see if I can figure out how to do that | 18:52 |

| gamma-x | im having a lot of trouble trouble trying to get my intel wireless 4965 working. can anyone help? | 18:53 |

| cyban | LinuxGhost, is there something screwey in the session startup? | 18:54 |
| Mikey | Nice thanks BinaryFu, I guess that means some kind of Driver is installed | 18:54 |

| cyban | donmt do that hog lol, just add your user to sudoers | 19:14 |
| hog | Jampiter, add your user to sudo group | 19:15 |

| Jampiter | Thanks cyban, hog :) | 19:15 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban? | 19:15 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu I've been looking for a solution for hours...how did you find it :P | 19:16 |
| Mikey | brb | 19:16 |

| CartoonCat | IntuitiveNipple: Well it might but that would be crazy. The FS is FAT32, formatted under Vista. | 19:17 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban,what happen if i uncheck all apps to not be booted on system start?Because i think its related to reading system file and drivers not those associated | 19:17 |
| fignuts | anybody know why my hdmi wouldn't be working, and vga works only at a low resolution?> | 19:17 |
| madrazr | Hi all, I don't know for what reason, every now and then my DNS is falling back to 192.168.1.1. Can some one help me please? How to fix this? | 19:17 |
| LinuxGhost | cyban, i refer there, system>session> | 19:17 |
| LinuxGhost | startup programs | 19:18 |
| BinaryFu | madrazr: Where are you changing it? | 19:18 |
| CartoonCat | madrazr, that just your router, dont worrry, your other dns servers were unreachable for what ever reason, likely they are overlaoded | 19:18 |
| cyban | LinuxGhost, I would do 1 then reboot, then re-enable it and do the next otherwise you wont know which is causing the issue | 19:18 |
| Tulimaq | fignuts: do u have a proper driver installed ? | 19:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: It just sounds strange, if the message reports about the file-system :) | 19:18 |

| lucas_ | Hello | 19:19 |
| madrazr | BinaryFu: I am trying in System->Admin->Network->DNS and also in /etc/resolv.conf | 19:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: what does ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep sda show? | 19:19 |
| lucas_ | I'm trying to change my keyboard layout to Dvorak, but it won't change! | 19:19 |
| CartoonCat | IntuitiveNipple: Yes it is strange, ill pop t on the vista laptop and see what happens (yay multiport enclosure) | 19:19 |
| MTecknology | so... my rsync died and I tried to resume with --partial but it runs through the file like everything was aok... any ideas how to make it pick up the transfer? | 19:19 |
| madrazr | CartoonCat: but this happening to me from very long time, at least from the day I installed Hardy, but did not have any problems with it as such till now | 19:19 |
| Nece228 | BinaruFu: yes | 19:19 |
| CartoonCat | gimmie a few ill find outs | 19:19 |
| Nece228 | BinaryFu: yes | 19:20 |
| madrazr | CartoonCat: but today I noticed that djangoproject.com doesn't open with 192.168.1.1 | 19:20 |
| Jampiter | How do I save in Vim? | 19:20 |
| xbxbxb | does hotplugging an USB device work even before I login? that is, does udev create block devices for it in /dev before I login with my user name? | 19:20 |
| nrook | :w, right? | 19:20 |
| BinaryFu | madrazr: Yeah, Sys-ad-net-dns would be the way to go, personally I toss a few in there myself...shouldn't be removing them though... | 19:20 |
| nrook | (to Jampiter) | 19:20 |
| CartoonCat | ../../sda and ../../sda1 | 19:20 |
| BinaryFu | Nece228: #1 reason for really crappy slowdown on effects is improperly (or not at all) installed video drivers. | 19:20 |
| Jampiter | How do I get the commands box to type than in nrook? | 19:21 |
| lucas_ | I'm trying to change my keyboard layout to Dvorak, but it won't change! The layout I want shows up in the... layout picture when I select it, but it just won't change. I'm trying to do this through keyboard preferences | 19:21 |
| MagicDuck | hi, why don't administrative apps like synaptic and "Login Window" pick up new gtk themes | 19:21 |
| nrook | Jampiter: try hitting escape first | 19:21 |
| Nece228 | BinaryFu: im using fglrx drivers | 19:21 |
| Jampiter | Thanks :) | 19:21 |
| CartoonCat | ieee1934[idstring] before them both | 19:21 |
| nrook | how can I find really big, recent files? | 19:21 |
| madrazr | BinaryFu: how to access that? | 19:21 |
| madrazr | whats the command? | 19:21 |
| conb123 | How do i enable monitor mode in ubuntu for my 802.11 network card? | 19:21 |
| madrazr | BinaryFu: ouch... sorry... I understood what you said now | 19:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: what device id's does it show though? That should tell you where the sda device is located - if it shows the IEEE1394 interface then that message must be from the disk markers, not from the Mobo's controller | 19:22 |
| madrazr | BinaryFu: but that is causing this problem | 19:22 |
| outblasted | exit | 19:22 |
| CartoonCat | conb123: you need to install patched drivers in most cases | 19:22 |
| BinaryFu | madrazr: Very odd. | 19:22 |
| star | hi.. can anybody solve my problem of connecting net via bluetooth from mobile on ubuntu ?plz..... | 19:22 |
| CartoonCat | IntuitiveNipple: any ideas? | 19:22 |
| nrook | it's funny that even when my hard drive is stuffed, all of the command line programs still work | 19:23 |
| nrook | I'm here in irssi, googling my problem in links... | 19:23 |
| gamma-x | can anyone help? im trying to install a new kernel and need some direction. | 19:23 |
| Jampiter | Just install the package gamma-x | 19:23 |
| case^ | nrook: reminds me of bloody gentto | 19:23 |
| Jampiter | You know how to use apt-get? | 19:23 |
| Tulimaq | star: what is the problem ? | 19:23 |
| BinaryFu | Nece228: I don't use ATi myself, so I don't know what the "proper" drivers would be, but you generally have 2 options - download the drivers from the repositories or going to ATi and getting the drivers from them. | 19:23 |
| Jampiter | gamma-x: | 19:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: Inspect the file-system itself without mounting it, with a tool like testdisk, or manually using "dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C" | 19:24 |
| gamma-x | Jampiter, yes, i can install a new kernel by using apt-get? wow | 19:24 |
| conb123 | CartoonCat: So are there sperate drivers for different model cards | 19:24 |
| conb123 | *seperate | 19:24 |
| BinaryFu | Nece228: But I'd make sure the drivers are properly installed, because my bet is that's what's causing your slowdown. | 19:24 |
| nrook | case^: :) | 19:24 |
| CartoonCat | oh joy | 19:24 |
| tomy222 | Hi, how i can watch virtual earth from microsoft under linux? there exist an alternative? | 19:24 |
| Jampiter | gamma-x: So what's the problem? | 19:24 |
| Nece228 | BinaryFu: whats the difference? | 19:24 |
| Nece228 | BinaryFu: everythink else works fine | 19:24 |
| Jampiter | Open street map maybe tomy222 | 19:24 |
| gamma-x | Jampiter, how do i find out the most currect kernel? | 19:24 |
| Jampiter | no images though I don't think | 19:24 |
| hog | Nece228, have you tried 'Envy' to install ATI drivers? | 19:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: try "fsck.vfat /dev/sda1" | 19:24 |
| xtremox | hi | 19:25 |
| CartoonCat | is testdisk nondestrutive? ive got a lot of data on there | 19:25 |
| Jampiter | gamma-x: the repos will have the most recent version AFAIK | 19:25 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu Thanks dude, this is gonna help big time, but it's not exactly what I want | 19:25 |
| case^ | is there a # for conky? | 19:25 |
| CartoonCat | ok, is that one non destrutive? | 19:25 |
| Jampiter | Just search for the kernel version gamma-x # | 19:25 |
| xtremox | microsoft vizio alternatives? | 19:25 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu It will help just the same but it doesn't do Cloned Dual Displays | 19:25 |
| MagicDuck | This is weird. When I run "syaptic" from the command line it uses my gtk theme, but when I go "gksu synaptic" it uses the default ugly grey boxes. Can somebody explain? | 19:25 |
| NemesisUK | lo all | 19:25 |
| alecwh | Hello, is there any way to get IRC links in Firefox to open up in Pidgin? Right now, it does nothing. | 19:25 |
| case^ | alecwh: set your default app for irc:// links | 19:26 |
| nrook | okay, I've got a huge-ass recent file in /lib/udev/devices called "core" | 19:26 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: If this doesn't work out after a month I'll just buy an External VGA Card compatible with linux lol | 19:26 |
| nrook | I assume nothing bad will happen if I nuke it? | 19:26 |
| GoddamnDevil | MagicDuck: your themes aint in /usr/share/themes folder | 19:26 |
| NemesisUK | does anyone know how i can have sound in teamspeak and medal fo honor? only one of the two gets sound when run together | 19:26 |
| BinaryFu | Nece228: Well...the ones from ATi are the "latest" the ones in the repository are "stable". You could also try going into terminal and typing glxgears and waiting for the output to see what your FPS are. If you're using a very new card, you should be seeing 10,000 FPS+ if not, you don't have open gl working properly, which means you don't have the drivers installed properly. | 19:26 |
| MagicDuck | oh thank | 19:26 |
| MagicDuck | thanks | 19:26 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: LoL. :) | 19:26 |
| alecwh | case^: how do I do this? | 19:26 |
| Jampiter | Ok, I've broken Sudo. How can I revert the sudoers file back to the original? | 19:26 |
| genii | NemesisUK: Maybe ask in #winehq | 19:26 |
| citizen42alpha | I am getting a little over a 1000 FPS on the gears. | 19:27 |
| case^ | citizen42alpha: 29088 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5817.580 FPS | 19:27 |
| hog | Jampiter, ? | 19:27 |
| NemesisUK | i thought it has to do with sharing the device | 19:27 |
| case^ | on a x800xl | 19:27 |
| jway | i installed audacious, resized the playlist according to the screen resolution 1600x1200, now I'm back on 1280x1024 and the playlist handle for resizing is not accessible, what do I do? | 19:27 |
| BinaryFu | NemesisUK: You could try the ALSA drivers in wine. | 19:27 |
| macrohard | neone tell me wher to get xorg.conf file i mistackaly delted it | 19:27 |
| NemesisUK | but i'll give that a go | 19:27 |
| CartoonCat | IntuitiveNipple: oddness, said there were no vfats. im going ot get the vista box | 19:27 |
| citizen42alpha | =] I am on a 7300go laptop. | 19:27 |
| NemesisUK | ok cheers | 19:27 |
| BinaryFu | NemesisUK: Because OSS generally == 1 sound capable program at a time. | 19:27 |
| alecwh | case^: right now, my firefox is set to use 'purple-url-handler' | 19:27 |
| NemesisUK | ah ok | 19:28 |
| alecwh | what's wrong? | 19:28 |
| Jampiter | hog: Synaptic's now saying I can't apply changes. I might have modified the wrong thing in sudoers | 19:28 |
| BinaryFu | NemesisUK: If that doesn't work, you could try the PulseAudio. | 19:28 |
| nrook | is a file called "core" in /lib/udev/devices a core dump? | 19:28 |
| NemesisUK | thanks Binaryfu | 19:28 |
| BinaryFu | NemesisUK: If that doesn't work, you could cry softly into your mic. | 19:28 |
| hog | Jampiter, you were to only uncomment one line right? | 19:28 |
| NemesisUK | lol | 19:28 |
| Jampiter | It said I should use visudo | 19:28 |
| Jampiter | hog | 19:28 |
| case^ | alecwh: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window?style_mode=inproduct#applications_options | 19:29 |
| Jampiter | I did and I don't know how to use Vim, and I think I added some more enters or something | 19:29 |
| Mikey | I still have a problem that I can't find how to get Ubuntu to sense my TV | 19:29 |
| alecwh | case^: Yeah, I'm at the options box, it's just that it doesn't work. =P | 19:29 |
| alecwh | it's currently set to 'purple-url-handler' | 19:29 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: Your...TV? | 19:29 |
| Mikey | It's connected through the RGB/VGA port.....but it's not sensing it | 19:29 |
| case^ | alecwh: hmm, not a FF user so thats about the end of my knowledge... | 19:30 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: Yeah....usually works no problems...but with the Ubuntu drivers...I'm not sure | 19:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: Could the multi-port IEEE1394 device be causing the problem? | 19:30 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: Didja try what the guy had listed for changing the xorg.conf file? | 19:30 |
| alecwh | case^: thanks anyway | 19:30 |
| r3dd0 | http://paste2.org/p/77328 <-- sux :( | 19:30 |
| lucax | hey guys, ive installed kde on ubuntu... now kde is the default desktop for new users, i want it to be gnome... how do i restore that? | 19:30 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: It's not that simple, he already has a Monitor being detected I think | 19:30 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: let me check | 19:30 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: You could always tell it that it's a generic monitor. | 19:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: Does the device have multiple disks and a controller or is it a single disk? Did the disk get formatted by a system running dmraid and/or a Promise Fastrak controller? | 19:31 |
| tomy222 | mh, ad a website i must install a addon for virtual earth for watching the 3D! But i can' t install under linux! what i can do? | 19:31 |
| cyban | Jampiter, cd to etc/ then sudo nano sudoers | 19:31 |
| hog | lucax, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 19:31 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: You can pretty much dictate everything in xorg.conf, including resolutions permitted, etc. | 19:31 |
| xbxbxb | is there a reason why USB devices are also named /dev/sdXY just as my SATA devices? what does sd stand for? | 19:31 |
| lucax | hog: i have that one installed already | 19:31 |
| alecwh | How do I get irc:// links to open up in Pidgin from Firefox? Right now, in Firefox preferences, irc links are handled by "purple-url-handler". Why doesn't it work? | 19:31 |
| Jampiter | It says in the file that I have to use visudo to edit it.. do I have to cyban? | 19:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | xbxbxb: Yes, because the SCSI sub-system is managing them | 19:31 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: let me check it out and search for my second screen | 19:32 |
| xbxbxb | IntuitiveNipple: Oh okay.. and what does 'sd' mean? | 19:32 |
| === nrook is now known as nrook_nothere | ||
| cyban | no, su in terminal once your in the etc directory copy paste this: sudo nano sudoers | 19:32 |
| hal_v2 | When I go to add/remove hardware I get an error message which says: This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. | 19:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | xbxbxb: It means Scsi Disk | 19:32 |
| hal_v2 | Add remove software* | 19:32 |
| saurabh | i want to make a list of all packages installed through apt-get after i installed ubuntu, how do i do that? | 19:32 |
| xbxbxb | IntuitiveNipple: thanks | 19:32 |
| BinaryFu | hal_v2: And have you gone into the terminal and done a sudo apt-get update ? | 19:33 |
| CzarAlex | How can I grep the contents of every file on my entire system for the string "moobackup.sh" ? | 19:33 |
| hal_v2 | Yes | 19:33 |
| BinaryFu | hal_v2: And it didn't fix anything? | 19:33 |
| hal_v2 | Not at all. :( | 19:33 |
| BinaryFu | hal_v2: Hmmm....don't think it would matter, but you could try apt-get autoclean as well...see if you have broken deps floating around. | 19:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: grep -rn 'moobackup.sh' /* | 19:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: or more accurately: grep -rn 'moobackup\.sh' /* | 19:34 |
| BinaryFu | hal_v2: You could also try a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and see if perhaps there were some missing packages it needed to have installed. | 19:34 |
| Mikey | If I plug a Screen using S-Video out into Ubuntu while it's running will it auto-detect it? | 19:36 |

| stefania | hi all. how to install a 3dDesktop on Ubuntu? | 19:36 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: Define "3D desktop"? | 19:36 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: Reason I asked is cause Ubuntu is not finding my second screen | 19:37 |
| stefania | BinaryFu, like beryl | 19:37 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: Not sure how to add it | 19:37 |
| CzarAlex | Thank you, IntuitiveNipple | 19:37 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: Gonna have to check this out | 19:37 |
| stefania | do you know if Bery is stable? | 19:37 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: Compiz is installed already. You just need open gl drivers. | 19:37 |
| phantomcircuit | if i have a program that is fullscreen that goes crazy and wont give let me kill it is there something i can do other than ctrl+clt+backspace? | 19:37 |
| phantomcircuit | alt* | 19:37 |
| stefania | how to obtain that drivers? | 19:37 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: Yeah, that's gone past my general knowledge and into "This is a problem for laptop users to resolve" | 19:37 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: What video card would you be using? | 19:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | phantomcircuit: Use the magix sys-request to kill all processes on that terminal: Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+K | 19:38 |
| stefania | I dont know... hw to see? | 19:38 |
| Mikey | BinaryFu: heh....well your help is greatly appreciated just the same mate :P | 19:38 |
| phantomcircuit | SysRq ? | 19:38 |
| danopia | hi | 19:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | phantomcircuit: Yes | 19:38 |
| phantomcircuit | oh i see it now | 19:38 |
| phantomcircuit | lets see if this works | 19:38 |
| CzarAlex | IntuitiveNipple, hmm didn't find what I was looking for. I started a cron job over a year ago and i'm not sure where to find it. I'm migrating to a new system and would like to carry that task over. the script that is run is moobackup.sh . I can't find it listed in crontab or cron.weekly (as it runs every friday). Anywhere else I can search? | 19:39 |
| BinaryFu | Mikey: Very welcome. :) | 19:39 |
| stefania | I've an NVidia card | 19:39 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: check in /etc/anacrontab | 19:39 |

| stefania | 512 mb ram | 19:39 |
| ianliu_88 | What is the best way to develop an application which plots animated graphics on Ubuntu? Any directions? Cairo seems to be REALLY slow on Ubuntu... | 19:39 |
| stefania | I've installed driver for invidia | 19:40 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: And see if your NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver is enabled. | 19:40 |
| phantomcircuit | IntuitiveNipple, yeah that is what i was trying to avoid | 19:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: also, check in /etc/cron.weekly | 19:40 |
| stefania | yes is enabled | 19:40 |
| phantomcircuit | i just wanted to kill one program not kill all of them | 19:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | phantomcircuit: Well, I did say that kills all processes on the console! | 19:40 |
| phantomcircuit | a program that paused all the other ones that let you kill them would be very useful | 19:40 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: Okay...so...you have gutsy gibbon for your OS right now? | 19:40 |
| kelder | stefania: do you have system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings | 19:40 |
| phantomcircuit | IntuitiveNipple, :P | 19:40 |
| stefania | I've latest Ubuntu vrsion. | 19:41 |
| CzarAlex | IntuitiveNipple, not in either. Would it matter if I was running ubuntu 5.10? | 19:41 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: System - Preferences - appearance | 19:41 |
| CartoonCat | IntuitiveNipple: any ideas about this magic HD that somehow things its part ofa raid setup? | 19:41 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: Click on the "Visual Effects" tab. | 19:41 |
| jryan78 | I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there. Is there a program that will do that for me? | 19:41 |
| stefania | I've'extra selected | 19:41 |
| stefania | but how to 'rotate' desktop like a 3d effects? | 19:42 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: Click on "normal" for the typical effects...or Extra for the fancy stuff.......or you can download the advanced settings manager that allows you to customize all your effects. | 19:42 |
| kelder | stefania: do you have system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings .. there should be a cube effect you can turn on | 19:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: it might mean some things are in a different location... how about trying this: | 19:42 |
| kelder | stefania: if you do not have that option in preferences... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 19:42 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: Well, when you close a window, does it do a little fancy thing, or does it just disappear? If it does a little fancy thing, you have 3d effects on. | 19:42 |
| fignuts | which package installs the nvidia utility? | 19:42 |
| Mikey | BE back later..gonna have to re-format Ubuntu lol | 19:42 |

| jryan78 | I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there. Is there a program that will do that for me? | 19:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: sudo find / -type f -iname 'moo*' | 19:43 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: And if that's not what you want, then you just need to tinker with the options to get the effect you're looking for. | 19:43 |
| hog | fignuts, nvidia-settings? | 19:43 |
| fignuts | got it, nvidia-xconfig | 19:43 |
| stefania | BinaryFu, than you very much | 19:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CartoonCat: If it is supposed to be NTFS, check it with ntfsinfo /dev/sda1 | 19:44 |
| CzarAlex | IntuitiveNipple, just some other references to MOO stuff i have on the box. but nothing cron/task related. | 19:44 |

| jryan78 | I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there. Is there a program that will do that for me? | 19:44 |
| hoonteke | is ubuntu a publicly traded company? | 19:44 |
| CzarAlex | IntuitiveNipple, back when I set this up, i do recall having to fiddle with the 0 * * 1 stuff though. So I know its cron related. | 19:44 |
| hoonteke | can I buy stock in it? | 19:44 |
| BinaryFu | stefania: np at all, happy to help. | 19:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: well, if the fine had that name you suggested, that find command should locate the script | 19:44 |
| hoonteke | and by ubuntu, I mean canonical of course | 19:45 |
| phantomcircuit | hoonteke, canonical, im not sure if they are publically traded or not | 19:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | CzarAlex: Is it a system task or a user one? | 19:45 |
| Jampiter | Hi | 19:45 |
| CzarAlex | IntuitiveNipple, user perhaps. | 19:45 |
| phantomcircuit | hoonteke, no you cannot | 19:45 |
| Jampiter | Both Adept and Synaptic are saying I don't have privelages to apply changes | 19:45 |
| Charles_F | Hi does anyone know what to fix sudoers when I can't get a root terminal? | 19:45 |
| hog | CzarAlex, if the script in in the local filesystem run find ./ -name <filename> / | 19:45 |
| phantomcircuit | but if you had a ridiculous amount of money im sure you could approach them to invest in them | 19:45 |
| Jampiter | Any way to remedy this? | 19:45 |
| hoonteke | phantomcircuit: k, thankx. bummer | 19:46 |
| CzarAlex | hog, I'm trying to find what cron job/task called that script weekly. | 19:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | hog: he did, didn't find it apparently. I think the filename is probably not quite what he is remembering :) | 19:46 |

| Charles_F | the first line is wrong it says passprompt | 19:52 |

| Timberwolf5578 | Does anyone know how to make AWN automatically start up when you log into Gnome? | 19:52 |
| bobertdos | Charles_F: There actually is no root password in Ubuntu by default. | 19:53 |
| Charles_F | I know so why is is asking for one? | 19:53 |
| Charles_F | tobor how? | 19:53 |
| tobor_ | Charles_F: the sudo dialog is asking fot your user password | 19:53 |
| gamma-x | charles_f you have to change it, by default ur root is ur password | 19:53 |
| Charles_F | tobor I know but it doesn't like the password | 19:53 |
| tobor_ | Charles_F: whne you powercyle the system, press the ltter e when you see the grub menu. | 19:54 |
| hyphenated | Charles_F: if it asks for a password in that mode, it's because somebody set one for root | 19:54 |
| hyphenated | Charles_F: you'll need to boot with a special kernel line ending in "init=/bin/bash" | 19:54 |

| avis | ivy, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf thats your backup. then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, defaults should be ok for most things, tab to navigate, there should be a check list where you can input your correct resolution. i'm guessing only one might be supported, so make sure that is right | 20:56 |

| ivy_ | avis: ok thanks, will try. | 21:03 |
| netdevil | Jack_Sparrow tried the link u provided easycam2 didn't do the trick | 21:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | netdevil did you look at the easycam2 list of supported hardware? | 21:04 |
| unop | xukun, how exactly are you mounting the nfs export? | 21:04 |

| DasEi | Scunizi: tarball ? see !compile | 21:05 |
| Scunizi | d_in3v1table: if your grub is borked then I assume you can't boot into Ubuntu.. I've found it's better to use the live cd. | 21:05 |

| netdevil | my webcam works fine with luvcview but not with any thing else | 21:06 |
| DasEi | Scunizi: if you want to I'll send you an easy howto | 21:06 |
| Scunizi | DasEi: does it apply to quicktime source's? great! | 21:07 |
| netdevil | it's been almost 20 hrs i'm trying to fix it | 21:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | netdevil easycam page used to have a list of supported cams.. I dont see it either | 21:07 |
| netdevil | yes not there | 21:08 |
| xukun | unop, any idea? | 21:08 |
| DasEi | bobertos:whenever i try to run apt (install or update)its saying: paket dazuko is broken and has to be reinstalled. tried to delete it manually with apt,dpkg,m-a (modul-assist), and I also can't find a working source for it (which is requested for removal -inconsistent package can't be removed) trying dp... -a now... | 21:08 |

| Scunizi | DasEi: xchat downloads typically timeout for some reason on my end. | 21:08 |
| d_in3v1table | Scunizi: it still starts ubuntu fine, but windows wont boot with it. | 21:08 |
| netdevil | can't help i hav a inbuilt one works with xp | 21:08 |
| DasEi | Scunizi: sending again... | 21:08 |
| Scunizi | d_in3v1table: do you get the BSOD? or it just errors out? | 21:09 |
| netdevil | don't won't to go back to xp for such a small thing | 21:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | netdevil there is a laptop testing page that has good info.. I however dont have the link | 21:09 |
| unop | xukun, i'm guessing that you shared a device (mounted at /media/FREECOM) with NFS at some point - but it's perhaps no longer available? | 21:09 |
| netdevil | hav seen that already | 21:09 |
| milt15 | xukun look for ntfs configuration tool in synaptic | 21:09 |
| ivy_ | Avis, indrora, nothing has worked. :( | 21:10 |
| BuFF | who knows how to change alt+ctrl+F1 font color ? | 21:10 |
| BuFF | any ideas ? | 21:10 |
| unop | xukun, does /media/FREECOM exist? | 21:10 |
| d_in3v1table | Scunizi: not really BSOD, but its similar i guess. Just a random error message. only happens when using grub. If u disconnect hd with grub and boot windwos hd directly it boots fine | 21:10 |
| Dustan | anyone work with open office calc? | 21:10 |
| netdevil | why does ubuntu hav such a poor support for video devices | 21:10 |
| Dustan | I'm having issues with the quotient function | 21:10 |
| xukun | unop, yes. /dev/sdc1 on /media/FREECOM type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) | 21:10 |
| guntbert | Dustan: ask in #openoffice.org | 21:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | netdevil It isnt us that has the problem.. They dont provide the drivers or even enough info to have someone write any | 21:11 |
| neeto | netdevil: What's your specific problem? If you were to ask me, ubuntu has terrific support for video devices | 21:11 |
| Scunizi | DasEi: nevermind.. I'll check the link Jack_Sparrow gave me and see if it will work on quicktime.. I've compiled in the past (been a while) but wondered if QT source was compiled differently. | 21:11 |
| unop | xukun, is there an entry for /media/FREECOM in /etc/exports ? | 21:11 |
| Dustan | =QUOTIENT(O1;O2) where O1 is 3 and O2 is 4, calc gives me a value of 0???? | 21:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dustan Not in here thanks | 21:11 |

| neeto | Is there some MacGuyver DIY way to get into your car's computer without having to steal a diagnostics terminal from your local oil can henry's? | 21:12 |
| xukun | milt15, the configuration part is ok. I can mount other directory on server without any problem | 21:12 |
| Scunizi | d_in3v1table: weird.. I may have the same issue on my laptop.. I just haven't put time into figuring it out.. I thought windows just blew up for some reason.. | 21:12 |
| guntbert | Dustan: ask in #openoffice.org | 21:12 |
| netdevil | works with luvcview but not with cheese, camorama or xawtv, vlc | 21:12 |
| unop | xukun, i think milt15 confused NFS with NTFS | 21:12 |
| netdevil | neeto any ideas | 21:12 |
| Dustan | ty | 21:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > neeto | 21:12 |
| ubottu | neeto, please see my private message | 21:12 |
| netdevil | don't want to disturb Jack_Sparrow | 21:13 |
| neeto | it may be off topic but it's a very pressing question in my life right now | 21:13 |
| xukun | unop, yes /media/FREECOM/ 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) | 21:13 |
| milt15 | then maybe there is some corrupted data there like the ones with unclean shut down | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | neeto This is ubuntu support... try somewhere else | 21:13 |
| netdevil | Jack_Sparrow can u figure out something | 21:14 |
| d_in3v1table | Scunizi: did it happen after installing sp1 for vista? | 21:14 |
| Scunizi | d_in3v1table: no I have xp/home.. maybe with the sp3 update.. | 21:14 |
| unop | xukun, perhaps NFS does not like FUSE mounted volumes? a guess again. do other exports work properly, if you have any? | 21:15 |
| xukun | unop, I just did sudo export -a and then I this message now: exportfs: Warning: /media/FREECOM does not support NFS export. | 21:15 |
| kwyjibo | is there a way to make nautilus auto-align newly created icons to the right, instead of left? | 21:15 |

| ubottu | Charles_F, please see my private message | 21:16 |

| unop | xukun, try this. sudo mkdir /media/freecom; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/freecom; # then change the /etc/exports entry to /media/freecom - then export -a | 21:16 |
| bobertdos | Jack_Sparrow: Probably, but he asked again in a PM :p | 21:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 21:17 |
| d_in3v1table | Scunizi: hmm, that would eliminate my suspicion of bitlocker | 21:17 |

| Andeh | Does anyone use iPod with ubuntu here? | 21:18 |
| milt15 | i do | 21:18 |
| d_in3v1table | Scunizi: back to the my original question, u think its safe to reinstall grub from the installed ubuntu rather than the live cd? | 21:18 |
| milt15 | there is a good prog | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OdnsRvns Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse | 21:18 |

| Guest48292 | Hi, what does it mean is mount respondes with "cant read superblock" | 21:18 |
| Andeh | However | 21:18 |
| Scunizi | d_in3v1table: you can try.. if it doesn't work go to the live cd. | 21:18 |
| Andeh | Everything used to work | 21:18 |
| Andeh | then i plugged it back into windows VM | 21:18 |
| Andeh | and itunes deleted half my stuff | 21:18 |
| Andeh | (lol silly apple) | 21:19 |
| maxb | Is there an easy way to turn compiz on and off, *without* losing settings made in compizconfig-settings-manager? | 21:19 |

| maxb | I find that totem fullscreen doesn't work properly with compiz enabled | 21:19 |
| milt15 | sorry | 21:19 |
| Andeh | and i plugged it back into ubuntu, and put the stuff back. a few days later, amarok couldnt edit the ipod database anymore | 21:19 |
| levon | Hello again, is there anyone here who can assist me with downmixing 6->2 channels? | 21:19 |
| Andeh | it could copy over the music but not tell the iPod it was there. Then i tried Rythmbox, it worked perfectly | 21:19 |
| Andeh | But i was a bit angry, if i wanted to put music, i'd have to get what i wanted saved as a playlist from amarok, import in rythmbox and copy it over | 21:20 |
| unop | Guest48292, you are mounting with the wrong filesystem option, the filesystem is corrupt, the partition table is corrupt - depends | 21:20 |
| Andeh | so i googled it and apparently it will work again if i reformat the ipod for windows | 21:20 |
| Andeh | which would mean losing all music? | 21:20 |
| unop | Guest48292, so, how exactly are you mounting this volume? | 21:20 |
| shpond | hi | 21:20 |
| Guest48292 | Im using mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 | 21:20 |
| OdnsRvns | is there a way to get desktops on the top and bottom | 21:21 |
| Guest48292 | is theiir something wrong with that command? | 21:21 |
| Andeh | Cause i thought it would just rebuild the database through iTunes or something, but when it said it was Syncing i got scared and unplugged it | 21:21 |
| Andeh | the music seems to be there, but does having itunes "format it for windows" really format the drive? | 21:21 |
| kwyjibo | yes | 21:22 |
| kwyjibo | format = format | 21:22 |
| unop | Guest48292, does /dev/hda1 even exist? | 21:22 |
| Guest48292 | unop: I believe so, I'll check | 21:22 |
| unop | Guest48292, if so, what does this command return? sudo file -s /dev/hda1 | 21:22 |
| allaun | hello | 21:23 |
| OdnsRvns | Hello all how do i change the background image behind the cube | 21:23 |
| xukun | unop, then it says: sudo mkdir /media/freecom; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/freecom | 21:24 |
| xukun | mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/freecom': File exists | 21:24 |
| Guest48292 | unop: Yes it exists, It returns with cannot read due to input output error, is it corrupt? | 21:25 |
| unop | xukun, ok, use another name (one that doesn't exist already in /media/) - sudo mkdir /media/something; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/something | 21:25 |
| Guest48292 | unop: sorry, its the command that returns the error | 21:25 |
| unop | Guest48292, i should imagine so yea | 21:25 |
| nrook_nothere | my disk space usage just ballooned after audacity froze; how can I find and delete non-file stuff that's taking up space? | 21:25 |
| unop | Guest48292, probably a hardware issue | 21:25 |
| Guest48292 | unop: so that means I cant just format and use it again? | 21:26 |
| unop | nrook_nothere, you could list the biggest files on the system - and probably find the culprit that way | 21:26 |

| unop | Guest48292, i dunno, i/o errors usually indicate hardware problems | 21:27 |
| nrook_nothere | er | 21:27 |

| nrook | unop: is there a command-line command to do that? I'm trying using it with the GNOME search, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right | 21:28 |
| allaun | if the package supports it yes | 21:28 |
| Andeh | So. I have all my music nicely organised on my iPod after 3 days of nicely organizing it and now iTunes wants to format it. | 21:28 |
| Andeh | If I don't format it, it won't work with Amarok, and if I do, i lose all the music from it. Any ideas? | 21:28 |

| unop | nrook, du -ab ~/ | sort -rn | head -n 25 | 21:29 |
| xukun | unop sorry but I think this command is not ok becouse even after I rm -r /media/freecom it recreates the freecom directory after I run that command and it also gives me the error | 21:29 |
| nrook | unop: actually, something weird happened when I tried that earlier - I found a huge (~1GB) "core" file, rm'd it... but df didn't suggest I got any space back | 21:29 |
| Andeh | My idea is to make a new amarok library on my ubuntu partition and copy all the music there, format the ipod and restore it. Would that work? | 21:29 |

| ubottu | bobbyd: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:35 |
| unop | nrook, depends if you have dedicated a separate partition to /tmp | 21:35 |
| bobbyd | does anyone know if it's possible to move the middle-drag behaviour in Nautilus to the right button? | 21:36 |
| vak | hi over there | 21:36 |
| xbxbxb | I'm using linux and mainly gnome and I have an encrypted HDD that I regularly browse through. Is it possible that certain programs (such as nautilus) are storing cached folder/file names or thumbnails of my encrypted disc that may give an attacker useful information about the contents of the disc? | 21:36 |
| milt15_ | hi | 21:36 |
| ZeetreX | How can i make nautilus and gnome wrap long file names? | 21:36 |
| creative2bad | anyone in here familiar with ncftp ? how can i get it to use SSL AUTH? | 21:36 |
| Flare183 | ZeetreX: Hold On I"m looking | 21:37 |
| ZeetreX | Flare183, ty | 21:37 |
| unop | nrook, hmm - i guess that's because you have run out of space on the device that generally houses /tmp - and as a result the kernel has created a virtual filesystem - probably housed in RAM - i'm not very sure | 21:37 |

| nrook | unop: now that's weird. is there some way I can clean out /tmp? | 21:38 |
| Daft_Punk | vak, you are better off asking the question, on one line and someone will help you | 21:38 |
| unop | nrook, hmm, rm /tmp/* #probably | 21:38 |
| nrook | unop: would that do terrible things to whatever I have open at the moment, or would it fail on that stuff? | 21:39 |
| gogzmer | Whenever a perl script or subversion runs, I am getting warnings about language things. Specifically, perl complains about LANGUAGE and LC_ALL being unset, and says that it is falling back to the standard locale("C") | 21:39 |
| unop | nrook, it is potentially destructive - but you have to do it if you want to complete your objectives of cleaning out the disk | 21:40 |
| vak | any1 would like to guide a debootstrap of Ubuntu from OpenSuSE 10 ? Here are details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5836547#post5836547 | 21:40 |
| unop | nrook, so, it's best if you close down as many programs now | 21:40 |

| Gecko | Hey there. I'm running x86_64, is there any way I can install a .deb file for i386? | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | ZeetreX: ok this might help, but it won't completly answer your problem/question | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | ZeetreX: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/27821 | 21:40 |
| nrook | unop: well, it shouldn't create any problems that would have a life beyond a reboot, should it? | 21:40 |
| DasEi | Gecko: shall be no prob | 21:41 |
| Flare183 | brb | 21:41 |
| unop | nrook, not really - but again, close down as many programs for safety's sake | 21:41 |
| Gecko | DasEi: How? Do I need to --force something? | 21:41 |
| ZeetreX | Flare183, saw it before, couldn't help | 21:41 |
| DasEi | Gecko: I never had to, just check if theres no 64-variant | 21:41 |
| unop | Gecko, it shouldn't work - and you should not try and force anything | 21:42 |
| unop | !chroot | Gecko | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Gecko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 21:42 |
| ZeetreX | unop, do u know how can i make gnome to wrap long file names? | 21:42 |
| vak | Daft_Punk, the question is e.g., how could I extract, say, 5Gb for ubuntu in live OpenSuSE? | 21:42 |
| unop | ZeetreX, hmm, no - i don't use gnome/nautilus | 21:42 |
| Gecko | unop: yes, I know what you're saying. This is, however, a proprietary app (amazon.com mp3 downloader), and seeing as x86_64 should run i386 as long as I have the apropriate i386 libraries, I should be able to do it, right? | 21:43 |
| trigpin | my connection is at 1 mb/s while laptop is at 54 mb/ s any ideas what might be wrong? | 21:43 |
| Daft_Punk | vak, i dont know, i was just telling you to ask the question on 1 line, that way you have a better chance of someone helping you :p | 21:43 |
| unop | Gecko, errm, probably but then again, most probably not - it would be safer to build a basic 32bit chroot and install your .deb within it | 21:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trigpin Perhaps something like this might be worth a try.. Networking: rt2500pci .. Speed issue: "force" the speed with sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M to get decent speed (by default i get 1MB/s) | 21:44 |
| Flare183 | ZeetreX: Well, its not possible them | 21:44 |
| Flare183 | then* | 21:44 |
| trigpin | Jack_Sparrow, ok will try thanks | 21:45 |

| jimcooncat | Sk8rdude: then perhaps some fuse filesystem would work | 23:01 |
| Necrosan | Is there any ubuntu ps3 iso with working wifi? | 23:01 |

| Sk8rdude | mount the folder somewhere else? | 23:01 |
| zenwryly | iter: do you know anything of the particulars? | 23:01 |
| jimcooncat | Sk8rdude: sure. you could use sshfs, but I would think there would be something simpler | 23:02 |
| Sk8rdude | hmm | 23:02 |
| iter | zenwryly: if you know exactly what you are doing it's ok but if there are questions as to what's going to happen use another file | 23:02 |
| jaakkome | Is there a significant performance benefit in using the ext2 filesystem over ext3? (I'm installing on a 128mb / 400MHz system) | 23:02 |
| Hrvatski1 | what is the best torrent program for ubuntu? | 23:03 |
| Sk8rdude | Hrvatski1: what do you want out of your torrent client? | 23:03 |
| bobertdos | CokeNCode: I have one idea, but I'm not sure it would work out the way I'm thinking. | 23:03 |
| magnetron | !best | Hrvatski1 | 23:03 |
| ubottu | Hrvatski1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:03 |
| iter | rtorrent | 23:03 |

| Ademan | anyone know if anyone out there is hosting a repository of nightly firefox 3.1 builds? (or if backports contains anything significantly newer than 3.0) | 23:03 |
| Sk8rdude | ok | 23:03 |
| Sk8rdude | well deluge is pretty good | 23:03 |
| EvilDaemon | I like Transmission, but I haven't tried others. | 23:03 |
| zenwryly | iter: well I'm wondering what the specifics are or where I can learn about them | 23:03 |
| iter | zenwryly: it's entirely dependent on your someprogram | 23:04 |
| aar | bobertdos, should I run partimage from a live cd on an umounted drive, or is it safe to generate the image from an active (i.e. mounted) partition for backup purposes? | 23:04 |
| iter | however I can think of a lot of bad conditions when reading from and simultaneously writing to the same file | 23:04 |
| Hrvatski1 | thanks | 23:05 |
| bobertdos | aar: Definitely from a live session, definitely not safe to do it on a mounted partition... | 23:05 |
| aar | bobertdos, ok thanks | 23:05 |
| Unbe | Hmm. Is there a way to get my monitor's refresh rates for xorg.conf from my currently running install? | 23:05 |
| zenwryly | iter: how so, what is it about someprogram that might cause problems? What internal affect this? What might the problems be? Where might I find documentation? | 23:06 |
| adri_ | ola | 23:06 |
| Unbe | alo | 23:06 |
| jimcooncat | zenwryly: I would think it would depend on the filesystem. Don't try with FAT32! | 23:07 |
| zenwryly | jimcooncat: hmm, ok, thats a good lead | 23:08 |
| iter | zenwryly: your question is very broad, but as I interpret it you are asking "why can't I read from and simultaneously write to the same file" -- there are plenty of potential pitfalls in doing this but again it just depends on how the app in particular handles (or doesn't) this case | 23:08 |
| jimcooncat | zenwryly: best bet is to output to a temp file, then replace your original with the tempfile | 23:08 |
| sparr_w | magnetron: !best only applies if there is more than one application to perform the task in question. or even one, sadly :( | 23:08 |

| zenwryly | jimcooncat: yeah, I know, I have just always wondered what the factors are behind it. | 23:09 |
| magnetron | sparr_w, keep your ubuntu rants in #debian , please | 23:09 |

| unop | :) | 23:10 |
| DasE1 | lol | 23:10 |
| jimcooncat | zenwryly: I would think that would be somewhere in the filesystem, and the kernel's support for it. Type of journaling used, for instance may cause or relieve the contention. | 23:11 |

| gaintsura | typh: select general options | 23:51 |
| Typh | gaintsura: Yeah, I'm in general options. | 23:51 |
| gaintsura | typh: its under the tab commands | 23:52 |
| sakuramboo | DasE1, alsa doesnt work well with the onboard sound card | 23:52 |
| gaintsura | first section is configuring the commands, second is the key | 23:52 |
| ivy_ | Hi everyone. | 23:53 |
| DasE1 | sakuramboo: (cli) sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 23:53 |

| Typh | gaintsura: I'll play around, thanks | 23:53 |

| clusby | anyone know if I can disable / remap the 'ctrl-alt-Fx' keys? | 23:55 |
| clusby | i.e. i have a virtual machine, and running excel is kinda hard because I would like 'ctrl-alt-F9' | 23:55 |
| drhe|lap | hey guys. i want to fresh install ubuntu on this 80gb sata drive. but only use up maybe 40gb for ubuntu. then i want to install xp on the rest. whats the best method for this. | 23:56 |
| milostrife | hey can anyone give me the terminal line to get x2chat on ubuntu | 23:56 |
| bobertdos | drhe|lap: Install XP first, otherwise you will want to shoot yourself later :p | 23:57 |
| milostrife | **irc | 23:57 |

| drhe|lap | i want to isntall ubuntu first. as i am having issues win xp picking up the onboard sata drivers for the 80gb. | 23:57 |
| cyban | drhe|lap, you familiar with partitioning etc? | 23:58 |
| drhe|lap | i am with windows | 23:58 |
| drhe|lap | but with linux. it seem rather odd. | 23:58 |
| iter | drhe|lap: you will still have that problem later, the solution is to slipstream a newer version of the disk drivers into windows or use a driver disk (F6 at startup) | 23:58 |
| === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616_ | ||
| cyban | similar concept, different names - install Ubuntu, let it do auto formatting, then modify the partition tables to leave yourself 40GB | 23:58 |
| iter | drhe|lap: older XP discs won't detect SATA drives | 23:59 |
| drhe|lap | ok | 23:59 |
| drhe|lap | hrmm. | 23:59 |
| iter | drhe|lap: you might google sata driver pack and/or nlite for more info | 23:59 |
