| John_Valdez | hey all i got a brain twister for ya... its the mix of atheros and marvell ethernet drivers. | 00:03 |
| John_Valdez | none of all work.... i have no internet connections | 00:03 |
| matreya6 | John_Valdez, You need firmware for both of them | 00:03 |
| Agent_bob | hardcorelinux only mentioned because it's generic and works with all accounts | 00:03 |
| carter | hardcorelinux, ok great that worked! how do I prevent that from happening in the future after creating folders | 00:04 |
| carter | hardcorelinux, and do I always need to use sudo to run those commands ? | 00:04 |
| Agent_bob | carter yes if you don't own it you probably can't modify it either. | 00:05 |
| AliTabuger7 | I would like to have an FTP server that uses what I think is called "fake root". I want it to restrict ftp users to their "home" folder. I do not want the ftp users to be able to log in and see my entire system from "/". This is for my security and user convenience. How can I get an FTP "fake root" to work? | 00:05 |
| John_Valdez | matreya6, i am really new about this linux deal how would i go about getting them to work... i have tried google and i am just way more confused.... between moding the kernel or something to that pont, for the marvell. The huge problem is that i have no internet connection on that laptop at all... | 00:05 |
| hardcorelinux | carter, if you create files/folders as carter you won't have to do this again, sudo is not always required, you could have ran these commands without sudo | 00:05 |
| HollywoodJumper | hey i just wanna say to all those people who always help me i got it to work because of the link provided | 00:05 |
| carter | hardcorelinux, hm, I tried but received Operation not permitted, added sudo and it worked | 00:06 |

| inasmu | I'm having a strange problem, when I'm root (sudo -i) I can do "echo -n 50 /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness" to change the brightness, but when I'm a regular user and I try it with sudo it complains I don't have permissions | 00:08 |

| carter | Agent_bob, fair enough, thanks for your help. | 00:10 |

| acee12345 | i installed awn after a fiasco of compiling things and when i rebooted my graphics were shot. so i reinstalled the restricted ati driver and rebooted upon which i had all effects back but my max res is stuck at 640x480 any ideas? | 00:12 |
| sullyva86 | Agent_bob: Should i select the brand of the printer? I doesn't say the model just has a list of brands. | 00:12 |
| christian | xD | 00:13 |
| inasmu | Pici: I mean, when I'm logged in as root I can, but when I sudo as a regular user I can't | 00:13 |

| hardcorelinux | carter, if you disable guest access, it should prompt for authentication | 00:13 |
| Agent_bob | sullyva86 welcome | 00:13 |
| inasmu | Pici: oh, sorry, yeah basically I'm trying to write a number to change the screen brightness, but when I sudo the command I don't have permission | 00:14 |
| grendal_prime | damn dudes im stuck at home with streap throat | 00:14 |
| usser | balz, cron doesnt do boottime, you call your backup script to /etc/rc.local to run it on every boot | 00:14 |
| Babam | usser: It's trying to run find it in system32, how do I redirect it? | 00:14 |
| hardcorelinux | inasmu, echo "2" > /proc/acpi/video/LCD/brightness? | 00:14 |
| balz | usser: maybe it isn't cron then... i guess it's just a normal script? there's a boot-time option | 00:14 |
| usser | Babam, depends on where u installed wow in the first place | 00:15 |
| inasmu | hardcorelinux: didn't work, I think I might have to write a script and sudo that | 00:15 |
| usser | Babam, for instance program files is in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files | 00:15 |
| Lestat_08 | hola? | 00:15 |
| acee12345 | if this is the wrong channel please guide me to the appropriate one | 00:15 |

| ubottu | balz, please see my private message | 00:15 |
| Pici | inasmu: priveleges are not carried accross IO redirection operators. You can do something like: sudo sh -c "echo -n 50 > /proc/whatever" | 00:16 |
| christian | what its hte button 4 xD | 00:16 |
| christian | :( | 00:16 |
| usser | balz, can u pastebin the script because im not sure what u mean by bootime option | 00:16 |
| node357 | christian, I think button 4 is scroll wheel down or up | 00:16 |
| hardcorelinux | inasmu, to do that do a 'sudo bash -c "echo <number> /proc/acpi/video/LCD/brighness" | 00:16 |
| balz | usser: let me see if i can find it... i'm on webmin | 00:16 |

| hotmonkeyluv | the window managers | 00:23 |
| geodome | is that all? | 00:23 |
| pcoleman09 | hardccorelinux, ya i believe so | 00:23 |
| hardcorelinux | geodome, ubuntu has Gnome desktop, xubuntu has XFCE desktop | 00:23 |
| bigdogm | There a channel you can trade software,music,pics. etc... | 00:23 |
| geodome | how come xbuntu requires less ram ? | 00:23 |
| Agent_bob | geodome the desktop environments and default gui applications differ from *buntu to *buntu | 00:24 |
| Ashfire908 | geodome, different programs too, of course, but I think mostly it uses GNOME programs. | 00:24 |
| tritium | bigdogm: do not discuss piracy here | 00:24 |
| Agent_bob | geodome required ram ? to install ? | 00:24 |
| hotmonkeyluv | geodome: becuase xfce uses much less computer power than gnome and Kde | 00:25 |

| Ashfire908 | geodome, yes | 00:27 |

| DasEi | Babam: exact model ? | 00:28 |
| usser | Babam, did it at some point prompt you to install restricted drivers or something of that sort? | 00:28 |

| Ashfire908 | geodome, if you want the full xubuntu desktop you can use the meta-package xubuntu-desktop | 00:28 |
| usser | Babam, no you should have done that | 00:28 |
| hardcorelinux | majortool, 'uname -a' and see if there is an x86_64 in the line | 00:28 |

| matreya6 | matreya6, I see it, but I have some difficulty understanding Brazillian, just a moment. | 00:59 |

| pcoleman09 | jrib, oh geze lol i get what you are saying | 01:00 |
| zetheroo | jrib: thanks ... I am adding this line "usershare owner only = False" to the file to allow me to share folders ... is this a good move? | 01:00 |
| jrib | pcoleman09: k, let me know if you get stuck | 01:00 |
| jrib | zetheroo: I've never messed with that file. I just use the GUI: right click on a directory -> properties -> share | 01:00 |
| Sarmento | <matreya6> :http://paste.ubuntu.com/51445/ | 01:01 |
| r00tintheb0x | Whats up peeps. | 01:01 |
| zetheroo | jrib: that is what I always used to do as well .. in Gutsy and Feisty ... but with Hardy I always get this message when I try to share something : 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/MAIN/Audio as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. | 01:01 |
| zetheroo | Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False" | 01:01 |
| zetheroo | to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this. | 01:01 |
| Sarmento | <matreya6>:Sorry friend had posted in Portuguese, but now posted in English! | 01:02 |
| zetheroo | jrib: why is it that I never had to do this with previous releases? | 01:02 |
| Sarmento | http://paste.ubuntu.com/51445/ | 01:02 |
| matreya6 | Sarmento, thx | 01:02 |
| jrib | zetheroo: that's a bug (it's in the !samba factoid). Have you logged out and back in? | 01:03 |
| zetheroo | jrib: I just booted up about 10 min ago | 01:03 |
| pcoleman09 | jrib, it errors out as E: read error - read (21 is a directory) | 01:04 |
| zetheroo | jrib: its always like that with every installation of Hardy on every machine ... | 01:04 |
| jrib | zetheroo: hmm. Actually, you are trying to share a directory you don't own, so it may not be the same bug. What does 'groups' return for you? | 01:04 |
| matreya6 | Sarmento, this looks like a problem with locked files in your homedir as well as a non-working network connection. | 01:04 |
| jrib | pcoleman09: what did you do to get the error? | 01:04 |
| zetheroo | jrib:zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ groups | 01:05 |
| zetheroo | zeth adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin vboxusers sambashare | 01:05 |
| pcoleman09 | jrib, sudo apt-cdrom add | 01:05 |
| matreya6 | Sarmento, do you use multiple NIC's in your system? | 01:05 |
| jrib | zetheroo: yeah, it's not the same bug then. It's probably just a change in default behavior. Adding the line as you were going to do seems like the right thing to do | 01:05 |
| jrib | pcoleman09: and you have the ubuntu cd in your cdrom? | 01:06 |
| pcoleman09 | jrib, ya | 01:06 |
| zetheroo | jrib: ok .. did that ... what the command for restarting the networking? | 01:06 |
| l3d | I was wondering is there a better webpage editor then bluefish? | 01:06 |
| jrib | zetheroo: /etc/init.d/samba restart is probably what you need | 01:06 |
| matreya6 | Sarmento, your homedir might be corrupted if you can start normally under another user account. | 01:06 |
| Sarmento | <matreya6>:My friend then that my user had this problem, it created other users try to solve the problem most do not succeed | 01:07 |

| manu_ | alguien de españa | 01:20 |
| manu_ | '' | 01:20 |
| carandraug | !es | manu_ | 01:20 |
| ubottu | manu_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 01:20 |
| manu_ | OK | 01:20 |
| matreya6 | Killer--Tux, it's called nvidia-settings, try running it through sudo | 01:21 |
| rraj_be | sure | 01:21 |
| jrib | rraj_be: you need to upgrade to 8.04 first (see ubottu's message). 8.10 (intrepid at the moment) is still being developed. It is for testing only. If after you get to 8.04 you think you still want to use intrepid, then see the topic in this channel | 01:21 |
| Killer--Tux | matreya6 ok give me a sec | 01:21 |
| matreya6 | Killer--Tux, strike that, make that gksudo | 01:21 |
| pcoleman09 | jrib, ok so when it does wget should i just put that on a jumpdrive and run from there? | 01:21 |
| Killer--Tux | matreya6 what is gksudo | 01:21 |
| pcoleman09 | jrib, this is the source i am using http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-ar5007-wireless-with-madwifi-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html | 01:21 |
| rraj_be | i have used 8.04. . . .i want 8.10 for bug reposrting jrib | 01:21 |
| matreya6 | !gksudo | 01:22 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 01:22 |
| matreya6 | !gksudo | Killer--Tux | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Killer--Tux: please see above | 01:22 |

| mjancaitis | I have a flash drive that appears to be recognized in lsusb, but won't get mounted - what should it be formatted, and where should I look to troubleshoot? | 01:23 |
| amt2 | when i open my firefox, it is covering my entire monitor. im not sure why, if i unmaximize/maximisze it goes away but then comes back. is this supposed to be happening? maybe i changed a setting that i didnt realize, or is this not suppsoed ot happen? | 01:23 |
| === gnubuntu is now known as bit7 | ||
| matreya6 | mjancaitis, Normally, flash drives are formatted with FAT16/FAT32 when they are shipped | 01:24 |
| Killer--Tux | matreya6 ok that didn't work | 01:24 |
| MrCollins | amt2, press F11 | 01:25 |
| jrib | rraj_be: ok, so you know what to do then, right? | 01:25 |
| matreya6 | Killer--Tux, did you try installing the nvidia-settings package through apt-get ? | 01:25 |
| MrCollins | amt2 press F11 with your Firefox open :) | 01:25 |
| rraj_be | ;) k | 01:25 |
| Killer--Tux | i already have it | 01:25 |
| rraj_be | i will give a try jrib | 01:25 |
| RadSurfer | "invalid module format" ?? That does not sound good! | 01:26 |
| Killer--Tux | matreya6 but it dosent allow me to increase the resolution | 01:26 |
| jrib | pcoleman09: yeah, you should copy over the tar.gz to your harddrive and then build it there | 01:26 |
| Babam | Where can I get the 3d cube effect for switching workspaces? | 01:26 |
| Killer--Tux | matreya6 brb | 01:26 |
| mjancaitis | matreya6, it's fat32, which should be readable by ubuntu; any idea why it's not getting automounted or assigned anywhere? | 01:27 |
| jrib | !ccsm | Babam | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Babam: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 01:27 |
| pcoleman09 | jrib, ok in the process will let you know thanks | 01:27 |
| pcoleman09 | !build gzip | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about build gzip | 01:27 |
| pcoleman09 | !build | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 01:27 |
| matreya6 | Killer--Tux, So what is the highest resolution you can pick there and what is the highest res. you expect to see there? | 01:27 |
| matreya6 | mjancaitis, You might not have the proper rights for the automount. | 01:28 |
| matreya6 | You can always make a directory in /mnt with sudo and mount your stick there, supposing you know which partition it is. | 01:28 |
| amt2 | MrCollins, it's not that | 01:28 |
| matreya6 | mjancaitis, You can always make a directory in /mnt with sudo and mount your stick there, supposing you know which partition it is. | 01:29 |
| mjancaitis | Quite right, but I don't. How sad | 01:29 |
| matreya6 | mjancaitis, You can check the partitions with sudo fdisk -l | 01:29 |
| matreya6 | !fdisk | mjancaitis | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk | 01:30 |
| Jinx- | what torrent client does everyone use? | 01:30 |
| mjancaitis | Yeah, I played with that before I came here | 01:30 |
| matreya6 | I use Azureus | 01:30 |
| mjancaitis | It hadn't showed up, I'll try again | 01:30 |
| mjancaitis | Hmm | 01:31 |
| mjancaitis | Interestingly, it worked this time | 01:31 |
| mjancaitis | For no good reason | 01:31 |
| Delvien | anyone find that FF in hardy is sluggish ? | 01:31 |

| jrib | pcoleman09: did you check the ubuntu wiki for a guide before using that one? | 01:32 |
| matreya6 | avid => avoid | 01:32 |
| whitefire | Package libglib1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 01:33 |
| whitefire | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 01:33 |
| whitefire | is only available from another source | 01:33 |

| ibkanat | kitche no works on other computer just pop out the cable and plug it in | 01:38 |
| kitche | ibkanat: then it should work on the computer that is having issues since it sounds like a router issue | 01:38 |
| DanielMatt | heyas | 01:38 |

| Joeseph | Rephrase: Anyone care to share their experience with plucker | 01:39 |

| DanielMatt | can anyone help me out with compile question rq? | 01:40 |
| xomp | !anyone | DanielMatt | 01:40 |
| ubottu | DanielMatt: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:40 |
| stdin | DanielMatt: not if it has windows specific code | 01:40 |
| kitche | ibkanat: well sounds like it's how you configured the machine most likely does dhcp work at all? just to rule something out | 01:40 |
| DanielMatt | gotcha, thanks | 01:40 |
| artillery129 | quit | 01:40 |
| artillery129 | exit | 01:40 |
| ibkanat | yes if directly connected to the cable modem | 01:40 |
| ibkanat | its a fresh install of hard heron | 01:41 |
| kitche | ibkanat: well directly connected to the cable modem using dhcp won't rule anything out with the router now will it | 01:41 |

| pcoleman09 | killer--tux, oh really? i miss my old laptop now lol it had linux support, well mostly | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | RipperJ, fire up synaptic, search for the package, check its properties. it should show what files it isntalled.. the commands would be the ones installed to the bin dirs. | 02:18 |

| Jahooty_ | does anyone know how to get madwifi working with an ar5007 in hardy heron? | 02:20 |
| pcoleman09 | dr willis, mine would not let me do that i had to do linux then win | 02:20 |
| micr0c0sm | dr_willis, its a windows program | 02:20 |
| micr0c0sm | im trying wine | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | mystery, Windows can be picky about what/where it can install to.. You proberly want to resize your linuux install using a live cd + gparted. and install windows to the first primary partition of the hard drive | 02:20 |
| pcoleman09 | jahooty_, i am in the process of the same thing | 02:20 |
| Jahooty_ | any luck? | 02:21 |
| dannyboy | how do i use emerald with compiz? | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | mystery, thenyou will have to recover/reinstall grub. and get the linux box booting again. | 02:21 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis okay i see the command is 7za and i guess 7z because i see usr/bin7z and usr/bin/7za im a noobie i typed it in in terminal | 02:21 |
| Jahooty_ | right now i'ts saying that teh atheros hardware access layer is not in use | 02:21 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis and it worked fine. but wow is there a gui? | 02:22 |
| dr_willis | RipperJ, there are archive tools/frontends that use the 7zip stuff if found I belive.. I never use them | 02:22 |
| Jahooty_ | ok, i think i got that, brb after restart | 02:22 |
| Flannel | trigpin: That's not really on topic for this channel. I'm sure there are channels that can help you with that, but I don't know of them by name. | 02:22 |
| ray__ | i am having a problem with wine, i had sound i changed the hardware acceleration to emulation and checked the driver emulation box, now i cant get sound with any way i configure it | 02:22 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis i could get use to the commandline but i would love to just have a gui for easy and faster access and work | 02:22 |
| dr_willis | !archive | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about archive | 02:22 |
| === agib|away is now known as agib | ||
| dr_willis | RipperJ, i tend to use 'unp' to unpack archives.. and thats about it. i arely make them | 02:23 |
| mystery | Dr_willis: Wow that sounds like a lot for a newbie like myself. is it possible to protect my ubuntu settings and files? Ubuntu is my primary OS now. | 02:23 |
| pcoleman09 | ok anyone willing to help i have a problem with install of madwifi | 02:23 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis okay thank you i learned something new today htough thanks | 02:23 |
| Jordan_U | pcoleman09: What problem? | 02:23 |
| Adun | Lecter | 02:23 |
| dr_willis | mystery, you are doing the 'job' in the totally wrong order.. it would be as i said.. best if you install windows first, then linux. Or keep the 2 on 2 totally seperate hard drives. (that is what i tend to do) | 02:23 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis would u say unp is one of the best archiving files ou there? im just trying to use a program that compresses the best | 02:23 |
| sharav | if anyone can help me boot ubuntu please msg me, thanks | 02:23 |
| Flannel | sharav: Best to ask your question in the channel | 02:24 |
| pcoleman09 | jordan_u, i get to this part: sudo apt-get -y install sharutils and it comes up e: package sharutils has no installation candidate | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | RipperJ, its an UNARCHIVING tool. :) its unp whateverarchive (and it normally figures out the right command to unpack the archive) | 02:24 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis okay cool thank u thats good to know too | 02:24 |
| sharav | I shut off the power to my computer and ubuntu wont boot, it gets me into a grub4dos command line type thing and i have no idea what to do. I have ubuntu installed in windows | 02:24 |

| Jahooty_ | ok | 02:25 |
| Jahooty_ | how do i get the atheros wifi card to show up in the network config dialog? | 02:25 |
| Jordan_U | pcoleman09: What do you mean "this part" ? Unless your hardware is not supported by the default madwifi drivers you should just have to go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 02:25 |
| ray__ | i am having a problem with wine, i had sound i changed the hardware acceleration to emulation and checked the driver emulation box, now i cant get sound with any way i configure it. Any advice or help? | 02:25 |
| seao | the grub was broken | 02:25 |
| sharav | what does that mean? | 02:25 |
| Flannel | pcoleman09: Are you connected to the internet? | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | sharav, sounds like some how wubi and its bootloader grub4dos broke. some how.. (and i dont use either one, so cant help) | 02:26 |
| seao | you stop at the commandline? | 02:26 |
| pcoleman09 | jordan_u, i am using this guide: http://www.stchman.com/ath_drv.html | 02:26 |
| Flannel | sharav, dr_willis: wubi just edits the boot.ini | 02:27 |
| dannyboy | how do i use emerald with compiz? | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | Flannel, thats what i was thinking.. so where did his grub4dos come from? or is he just mistaken? | 02:27 |
| Jordan_U | pcoleman09: That guide is out of date | 02:27 |
| pcoleman09 | flannel, no have to use a seperate computer for internet right now both ways to getting internet need firmware | 02:27 |
| Flannel | dr_willis: Not from anything we've done, he must have installed it himself. | 02:27 |
| trigpin | Flannel, ok understood =) | 02:27 |
| pcoleman09 | joradn_u, ur kidding lol oh man.... any advice/ | 02:27 |
| RipperJ | dr_willis hey im so stupid i didnt see that when you right click the file u want compressed that the archive manager has an extension for .7z but tahnks either way i didnt realize it | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | Flannel, or hes seeing the grub shell or terminal and thinking its like what hes has seen befor. and just calling it grub4dos. :) | 02:28 |
| ray__ | i am having a problem with wine, i had sound i changed the hardware acceleration to emulation and checked the driver emulation box, now i cant get sound with any way i configure it. Any advice or help, please? | 02:28 |
| Jordan_U | pcoleman09: "This procedure has been tested by myself with Edgy Eft 6.10, I cannot guarantee that it will work on other distros." | 02:28 |
| pcoleman09 | jordan_u, ya i read that but was hoping it would work... this is the stuff that i have been given to me today so far.... | 02:29 |
| RipperJ | hey i have a weird question someone right now is logged on to my aim account.im on pidgin but im not getting the option ot press 1 to boot them off does anyone know 1) to boot them off and 2) to see what they are writing to the other person? | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | pcoleman09: What happens when you just go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and try to enable the built in drivers? | 02:29 |
| RipperJ | im sorry im NOT getting the option to press 1 to boot them off | 02:29 |

| pcoleman09 | jordan_u, they wont work no devices show up in networking | 02:30 |
| Flannel | smm289: Just use the package from medibuntu | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | smm289, i was thinking googleearth was in the medibuntu repos. | 02:30 |
| wael | wael | 02:30 |
| pcoleman09 | jordan_u, it has the hal driver and the support for atheros driver | 02:30 |
| RipperJ | smm289 first chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin and then sh ./Goo.... | 02:30 |
| smm289 | I went to Add/Remove programs and its not listed there | 02:30 |
| Jahooty_ | pcoleman09: found something, you need a patched version of madwifi | 02:30 |
| Flannel | smm289: Right, because its in a third party repository | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | !medibuntu | smm289 | 02:31 |
| ubottu | smm289: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:31 |
| smm289 | how do I make sure that medibuntu is in my list of sources to download from | 02:31 |
| Flannel | smm289: There's instructions on the medibuntu site to add it to your repos | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | smm289, See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:31 |

| usser | nemesis256, most of the packages, ubuntu's cd contains only base | 02:34 |

| Lofde_ | anyone know where one can get new appearance preferences themes for ubuntu | 02:55 |
| inasmu | !aptitude | 02:55 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 02:55 |
| Jordan_U | pcoleman09: There shouldn't be any output | 02:55 |
| pcoleman09 | ok good lol just reboot after that then? | 02:56 |
| inasmu | ijustam: like the bot says, aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies so if you want to remove something, it'll remove those too | 02:56 |

| florian | Does Ubuntu Server Edition come with all the exact same drivers as Ubuntu Desktop edition? So if my Wifi card worked in Ubuntu desktop, will it work in Ubuntu server? | 03:04 |
| Flannel | florian: The only difference between the editions is the default package selection. If your wifi card, for some reason, isn't supported by the server kernel, you can always switch to using the generic kernel, which will be the same one as in the desktop edition | 03:06 |
| [Solars] | FloodBot3 only diffrence between the too is server lacks window manage, and has other server apps... | 03:06 |

| vika | Or you mean running processes? | 04:11 |

| scunizi | mikebot, you're rarely every required to reboot.. that's pretty much windows thinking... | 04:14 |
| riotkittie | mikebot: do you get any keyboard response when this happens? does it eventually unfreeze? | 04:14 |
| obf213 | so i downgraded and it still doesn't work | 04:14 |

| kingtekrin | how do i install a theme? | 04:15 |
| Nuro | ok sam i have | 04:15 |
| carandraug | mikebot: install htop. Next time it happens, switch to a tty (Ctr+Alt+F2 for tty2 example). Login there and enter htop at the prompt. You'll get a nice task manager ncurse based | 04:15 |
| mikebot | riotkittie: carandraug: It's when, like, I can't click on anything either... the only thing that has any functionability is moving the mouse. | 04:15 |
| Nuro | what did that do? | 04:15 |
| speener | dr_willis: i know man, i know what to put but for some reason ubuntu won't load the partition with normal linux fstab entry | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | speener, you may want to set the umask, dmask, and fmask - thats a common example for vfat mountpoints. | 04:16 |
| mikebot | carandraug: Ah, I'm in ctrl+alt+2 now. | 04:16 |
| tuxy | if anybody is looking at my case, let me know please | 04:16 |
| speener | dr_willis: i've tried doing umask=0 | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | speener, not syre you really need the 'user' optopmn | 04:16 |
| speener | but doesn't load either | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | speener, i think umask=0 does NOTHING... | 04:16 |

| sam_delta | nuro , does, "iwconfig" now returns something other than "no wireless extensions" | 04:16 |
| scunizi | speener you might also need the uuid number .. use blkid for that | 04:16 |
| carandraug | mikebot: is thata command to switch virtual desktops? I meant "Ctrl+Alt+F2" or any other Fnumber between 1 and 6 | 04:17 |
| speener | dr_willis: this is line: /dev/sda1 /media/hda1 vfat user,defaults,rw 0 0 | 04:17 |
| riotkittie | mikebot: try going into preferences and setting a keyboard shortcut for gnome-system-monitor ... you can also alt + ctrl + backspace, which will shut your current session down and kick you to the login screen. or if you can to a terminal, type pkill firefox when it happens. how much ram do you have? swap? do you have extensions in firefox? | 04:17 |

| dr_willis | speener, theres 'users' and 'user' options also.. they differ in what they do.. and i forget what they do. :) one lets users mount/unmount a device.. Ithink.. and i forget what the other does | 04:18 |
| carandraug | mikebot: if you get completely block, try REISUB . It's better than cold reboot. If it doesn't answer to REISUB that's bad | 04:18 |
| speener | dr_willis: yeah, i tried with both | 04:18 |
| mikebot | carandraug: What does that command do? | 04:18 |

| xadzax | prolly | 04:23 |
| mikebot | carandraug: I got it. Thanks for all the help. G'night! | 04:24 |
| carandraug | mikebot: also, if you enjoy working in tty, give "screen" a chance. It's an amazing application | 04:24 |
| xadzax | its helpful so you dont have to scroll down three pages eveytime | 04:24 |

| scottyL | Question: I have a server which doesn't respond to SSH queries and also when you type in my IP in a web browser it doesn't connect correctly. Now, the weird thing is that if you type in my house's IP in the server's browser it works correctly | 04:36 |
| carandraug | DigitalFiz: never heard of it. Try google for that and add ubuntu in the end. Someone else might have add the same problem as you and registered it somewhere | 04:36 |

| grendal_prime | im sorry i thougt it was funny... i was going to tell him. | 04:49 |
| grendal_prime | ubd basically thats it | 04:49 |
| thiebaude | ubd:some say xubuntu uses less resources than ubuntu | 04:49 |
| Flannel | ubd: With the desktop comes a few program differences. But no, they use the same repositories, you can convert one to the other freely, etc. | 04:49 |
| scottyL | I thought it was funny, grendal | 04:49 |
| grendal_prime | wichg im sure it does. | 04:50 |
| DigitalFiz | carandraug, thank you for all your help, this channel is pretty busy its hard to get focussed help your pretty good at focussing on A LOT of people at once hehe | 04:50 |
| narfi | ubd: xubuntu is lighter weight so if your installing on an old machine it can be useful, otherwise ubuntu is just fine | 04:50 |
| ubd | if i install xubuntu do i have the debian tools in start menu? | 04:50 |
| Satillite | Inorder to change the boot order, must I use setup if there is a passwrod. When I just do change boot order command, nothing happens. Do I have to go into setup to change that? | 04:50 |
| Flannel | ubd: What debian tools? | 04:50 |
| ubd | terminal etc | 04:50 |
| carandraug | DigitalFiz: helps when people use my nick in the messages and if you have a properly configurated IRC client | 04:50 |
| talib | Does ubuntu have a multi-language onscreen keyboard tool? | 04:50 |
| Flannel | ubd: You'll have a terminal app, etc available, yes. | 04:51 |
| grendal_prime | because it uses a much lighter desktop..by default...but depending on wich desktop you use, you will use ither more or less sys resources...bell whislts, clocks, egg timers, wifi monitors...kubuntu as alot of that type of stuff | 04:51 |
| narfi | yes you have all of that in all the types of ubuntu | 04:51 |
| carandraug | ubd: yes. But it comes by default with another terminal, not Gnome-terminal (which is a good thing in my opinion) | 04:51 |
| ubd | flannel : last question, the windows like features of ubuntu (like automount, update, nvidia drivers) exist in xubuntu? | 04:51 |
| thiebaude | egg timers,lol | 04:51 |
| narfi | ubd: im not really knowledgable, but i have installed and played with both as well as kubuntu, they all do basicly the same thing, its mostly the look and feel of it thats different | 04:51 |
| carandraug | ubd: yes. It also has auto-mount | 04:52 |
| Flannel | ubd: Xubuntu is a little bit more spartan and utilitarian, but yes. | 04:52 |
| ubd | allright thank you all | 04:52 |
| grendal_prime | thats part of udev now wich..well any modern debian based distro will use. | 04:52 |
| blinding_dawn | Can someone recommend a good TV Tuner card to use with ubuntu? | 04:52 |
| c0llisi0n | Does anyone have any info on using three monitors with two or three video cards? | 04:53 |
| grendal_prime | buntus are all debian based. by the way ubd if you want a really clean system go with pure debian | 04:53 |
| ubd | is using those features considered gay in linux underground community? | 04:53 |
| Flannel | grendal_prime: That makes no sense | 04:53 |
| Flannel | ubd: Please refrain from using that term pejoratively. | 04:53 |
| Flannel | ubd: But no. | 04:53 |
| c0llisi0n | *LOL* I am going to save that question. :) | 04:53 |
| grendal_prime | you can make an entire os in 400 megs thats pretty darn usefull? | 04:53 |
| jesitol | Pozdravljeni? Se dobim pomoč pri vzpostavljanju linux? | 04:53 |
| scunizi | c0llisi0n, yep.. it's an xorg.conf nightmare.. | 04:53 |
| c0llisi0n | scunizi, you happen to know of any threads on the forums about someone attempting this? | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | HOLA | 04:54 |
| grendal_prime | Flannel: ?? what do you mean we use it for appliances of all sorts. | 04:54 |
| thiebaude | !hola | 04:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hola | 04:54 |
| c0llisi0n | I have tried with the NVidia Settings program but was scared to save the xorg after seeing how screwy it seemed to make it. | 04:54 |
| thiebaude | :) | 04:55 |

| grendal_prime | but we thougth that was rediculas when we could get dom's for 15 bucks and they had a gig of space on them...so we went that route. | 04:56 |
| jesitol | jakshemas | 04:56 |
| scunizi | c0llisi0n, search for dual monitor configuration... probably on any of ubuntu's releases prior to Hardy. With that info you'll get the gist of it.. also there is a difference between twinn view and xinerama.. xinerama allows each monitor to be "seperate" with drag capabilities between them.. twinn view stretched the desktop across the monitors with drag capabiltiy | 04:56 |
| operationhavok | alright, can someone help with konsole? | 04:56 |
| c0llisi0n | scunizi, do you think it may be easier to setup with three video cards (all nVidia)? | 04:56 |
| scunizi | c0llisi0n, nVidia for sure would be easier.. Start by setting up two then add the third.. | 04:57 |
| gamma-x | is there any software available to help create a website? | 04:57 |
| c0llisi0n | Well, I currently have two monitors on two video cards using the "Separate X screen" setting. | 04:57 |
| Flannel | !html | gamma-x | 04:57 |
| ubottu | gamma-x: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 04:57 |
| carandraug | gamma-x: you mean write html code? Bluefish | 04:58 |
| scunizi | c0llisi0n, if they are dual head cards you'll only need two and then you can do 4 monitors :) | 04:58 |
| googletot | I am having trouble changing the boot order on my computer. Can I get some help | 04:58 |
| gamma-x | carandraug, i know alot about computers, im just very very new to web pages. | 04:58 |
| Totale | i think this is a serious problem anyone willing to help at all? O_O "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" | 04:58 |
| scunizi | googletot, do you mean the order of the menu that pops up on boot? or changing the boot order of haraddrives? | 04:59 |
| ubd | use testdisk to recover your partition | 04:59 |
| narfi | i changed the workgroup name in my samba config file and restarted samba, now it doesnt work, does anyone know why? | 04:59 |
| Totale | i'll try, thx | 04:59 |
| googletot | Well, whn I ask it to boot from CD... it dosent | 04:59 |
| c0llisi0n | scunizi, I don't know if the cards can support such a high resolution. Hence why I was going to use an additional card. | 04:59 |
| carandraug | gamma-x: I think bluefish has a preview feature now. If you want an easier to use, KompoZer is the way to go (but to tell the truth I don't like it that much) | 04:59 |
| scunizi | googletot, are you doing that change in bios? | 05:00 |
| gamma-x | carandraug, is it hard to make a very limited website? | 05:00 |
| c0llisi0n | Currently, the two monitors are set at 1600x1050 (native resolution). I believe the native resolution of the new monitor is 1280x1024 (or whatever 4:3 for 1280 is) and the video cards can't handle such a high resolution. | 05:00 |
| zarius | Hello fellas | 05:00 |
| scunizi | c0llisi0n, I know what you mean.. sorry I don't have an answer for that. | 05:00 |
| carandraug | gamma-x: not if you have the knowledge or the time tolearn | 05:00 |
| googletot | I'm very sorry. I am new to computers. | 05:00 |
| googletot | is bios part of the ISO? | 05:00 |
| gamma-x | ok thanks | 05:00 |
| googletot | or boot omthing | 05:01 |
| carandraug | gamma-x: html code is easy. W3 schools will be your best friend | 05:01 |
| scunizi | c0llisi0n, ah.. xinerama is the answer for that.. different resolution for each monitor if you want.. it's set in xorg.conf | 05:01 |
| googletot | ooo Basic input,output | 05:01 |
| gamma-x | carandraug, w3? | 05:01 |
| carandraug | gamma-x: it's a website with a lot of information about coding in html | 05:02 |
| c0llisi0n | So... Attach the monitor and enable Xinerama on all three? | 05:02 |
| danbh_intrepid | googletot: when you first boot, typically, there is a button to enter bios setup, like the Del key | 05:02 |
| carandraug | gamma-x: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 05:02 |
| thiebaude | web standards | 05:02 |
| sjovan | googletot: no, the BIOS is a part of your motherboard software. normaly you have to press del or F2 under boot to acces the BIOS. should say something like press * for entering bios on your screen under boot (you know the black screen) | 05:02 |
| googletot | I am doing the change when I start the computer and hold down esc, it brings up a menu that says HD CD removable | 05:02 |
| scunizi | googletot, no.. on most computer you get into bios when you are booting the machine.. when it beeps you typically hit "delete" or "F2" or "ESC" or "F12" ... just depends on the machine .. in the menu that pops up there is a place to change the boot order. | 05:03 |
| Gerinych | how do i expand a hfs+ partition? | 05:03 |
| sjovan | googletot: bingo! set cd on top of the list and the cd should boot | 05:03 |

| HollywoodJumper | so does any one know how or why i would want virtualbox | 05:07 |
| === otherGuy2 is now known as R-800__ | ||
| narfi | Hollywoodjumper: it allows you to run windows, or anyother operating system withing your host os | 05:07 |
| scunizi | HollywoodJumper, only if you want an easy way to play with other distributions, including a windows install.. | 05:07 |
| Stargazer | Thanks scunizi. | 05:07 |
| HollywoodJumper | so if i can dualboot with windows why would i want it? | 05:08 |
| narfi | because you dont want to reboot to run a simple program you needed from windows | 05:08 |
| sjovan | HollywoodJumper: if you want to dualboot, then you don't need it | 05:08 |
| HollywoodJumper | ok very good points | 05:08 |
| Babam | Any one know where I can get drivers for a wacom tablet? | 05:08 |
| scunizi | HollywoodJumper, it doesn't run directx games though. | 05:09 |
| sjovan | or... narfi got a point | 05:09 |
| thiebaude | hollywoodjumper:because you can run it in a window on your screen | 05:09 |
| danbh_intrepid | HollywoodJumper: its off topic, but I like the ability to save the os state | 05:09 |
| HollywoodJumper | ive heard that some harmless linux files could be potentially disatrous if opened in a windows os | 05:09 |

| grendal_prime | HollywoodJumper I run games in vbox | 05:11 |
| midnightRmbler | Bryce_: use openssh on ubuntu and WinSCP on vista | 05:11 |
| HollywoodJumper | did you change your settings in BIOS | 05:11 |
| googletot | hes | 05:11 |
| scunizi | Babam, they are built in.. | 05:11 |
| googletot | HollywoodJumper, yes | 05:11 |
| scunizi | !wacom | Babam | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom | 05:11 |
| Bryce_ | I'm running from a 6.06 live CD, in case thats important | 05:11 |
| mario_ | is skype in the repos? | 05:11 |
| grendal_prime | you can run vbox in seemless mode so it virtualizes each app and the taskbar its plenty fast | 05:11 |
| Babam | scunizi: Are you sure? I have it connected and all I can do is click with the pen | 05:12 |
| HollywoodJumper | and you are trying to boot from cd? | 05:12 |
| googletot | Well the CD drive is at the top of the list | 05:12 |
| DigitalFiz | now i wonder how well counterstrike source will run in wine hehe | 05:12 |
| scunizi | Babam, they are.. sometimes they need some tweeking.. there's lots of info on wacom at www.ubuntuforums.org.. just search. | 05:12 |
| Babam | scunizi: Thanks | 05:13 |
| pretender | can anyone point me to a guide for installing virtualdub in WINE or alternatively tell me how to install jahshaka in Gutsy | 05:13 |
| thiebaude | googletot:something must be wrong with your cd | 05:13 |
| sjovan | !samba | Bryce_ | 05:13 |
| ubottu | Bryce_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 05:13 |
| googletot | well, im gonna reburn it | 05:13 |
| friedtofu | hm is 6.06 still supported? | 05:13 |
| scunizi | DigitalFiz, check out wine's site for a list of "runnable" apps and how they rate them | 05:13 |
| Bryce_ | I've heard of Samba, but I'm running on an incredibly slow laptop | 05:14 |
| scunizi | friedtofu, 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server.. but you should jump to Hardy 8.04 which is support the same.. or wait until next month for the latest. | 05:14 |
| Bryce_ | Will I still be able to install it and everything, even if I have to wait for ever? | 05:14 |
| HollywoodJumper | scunizi ive seen that list in winehq site im not sure what to try with wine | 05:14 |
| googletot | inside the disk, should there be a .iso called ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso? | 05:14 |
| Bryce_ | or does Ubuntu actually have to be installed first? | 05:14 |
| scunizi | HollywoodJumper, throw your dart | 05:15 |
| sjovan | Bryce_: then you could set up a FTP-server on one of the machines (don't se why samba wont work though) | 05:15 |
| thiebaude | bryce_:windows has to be installed first | 05:15 |
| Bryce_ | Let me clarify: | 05:15 |
| scunizi | HollywoodJumper, what's listed are not typically "free" programs.. you have to own them. | 05:15 |
| googletot | inside the disk, should there be a .iso called ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso???? | 05:15 |
| Bryce_ | I have a laptop with a corrupted Windows installation, causing it to be unable to boot windows | 05:16 |
| Bryce_ | The files I'm trying to recover are fine, and I have even mounted the hard drive and have access to them | 05:16 |
| HollywoodJumper | scunizi right like diablo 2 seems to not like wine very much from the reviews i read | 05:16 |
| Bryce_ | I have a 2 desktops, one installed with Vista, the other XP | 05:16 |
| scunizi | googletot, no.. and ISO is a file that is an image of a file system that when burned correctly, extracts all the files and puts them in the right spot on the cd. | 05:16 |
| Bryce_ | they are connected via a home router | 05:16 |
| Bryce_ | the laptop also connected | 05:17 |
| scunizi | HollywoodJumper, wouldn't know.. I don't run programs in wine. | 05:17 |
| googletot | scunizi so I am just burning it wrong? | 05:17 |
| Arckon | how do you run unshield on a file? | 05:17 |
| Bryce_ | The laptop is running on a live CD, and its very slow | 05:17 |
| Jeremified | I want to be able to boot into Ubuntu separately on my computer. However, I don't want to have to change my HD's partitioning or buy any extra equipment. I also want it to be able to save preferences (no LiveCD). | 05:17 |
| Bryce_ | Now I just want to move the files to one of the Window machines over lan | 05:17 |
| thiebaude | googletot:burn it at the slowest speed | 05:17 |
| R-800__ | Hello, everyone. I'm having an unusual issue where I can only connect to wifi signals on a Windows Partition, but not the Ubuntu partition on another hard drive. This is a laptop, so I can easily move it to do various tests. The wifi in Ubuntu works, and I can use it, provided that the signal is strong enough. But Ubuntu seems to fail to connect to weaker signals that I can still connect... | 05:17 |
| R-800__ | ...to in Windows. Anyone know why or what could be done? | 05:17 |
| Bryce_ | The end | 05:17 |
| scunizi | googletot, sounds like it... someone here can suggest a good iso program for windows that will burn it correctly.. just ask. | 05:17 |
| narfi | i got entropia universe running in wine the other night, but i couldnt see any other players, and the graphics were somewhat corupted | 05:17 |
| googletot | well im buring on a mac | 05:18 |
| googletot | but i am putting it on a pc | 05:18 |
| Jeremified | I have a flash drive that I want to install Ubuntu onto- the problem is that it can't handle multiple partitions (so I can't use a swap partition). How can I get it to work? | 05:18 |
| scunizi | googletot, ask anyways.. there are some mac users here.. | 05:18 |
| googletot | ok, i am trying toast agian now though | 05:19 |
| Bryce_ | Jeremified: Google 'Wubi' | 05:19 |
| Jeremified | I've heard of that before | 05:19 |
| scunizi | googletot, if you can tell it to burn an "image" | 05:19 |
| lucax | em... nautilus does not show desktop icons, in gconf-editor apps nautilus preferences its checked show desktop... whats goin on? | 05:19 |
| R-800__ | Is someone asking about good ISO software for Windows? Boy, I need some of that, bad. | 05:20 |
| Jeremified | Hm. Looks like it'd work. | 05:20 |
| sjovan | Bryce_: so set up a ftp-server on one of the windows machines... | 05:20 |
| scunizi | R-800__, mac | 05:20 |
| HollywoodJumper | R-800 i am connected to a linksys server that i dont even know the location of with ubuntu and i have tried windows os too id say ubuntu is better for the weak wifi signals | 05:20 |
| Jeremified | Is there any way I could use wubi on a flash drive so I could use it on multiple PCs? | 05:20 |
| Bryce_ | Ok, but does will Ubuntu be able to send files to that FTP server without having to install any additional software? | 05:21 |
| dr_willis | Jeremified, you may be better off using some sort of 'stand alone virtual machine' like virtualbox. | 05:21 |
| scunizi | Jeremified, google "ubuntu on usb" | 05:21 |
| R-800__ | HollywoodJumper: You are absolutely correct. I've noticed that Ubuntu is better at MAINTAINING weaker signals than Windows is, but I'm also finding, strangely, that in my case at least, Windows seems to be better at actually CONNECTING to those signals. Does this sound strange to you? | 05:21 |
| sjovan | Bryce_: yes, nautilus can connect to ftp-servers if i'm not mistakeing | 05:21 |
| sjovan | or am i wrong any one? | 05:22 |
| thiebaude | r-800_:i agree | 05:22 |
| [Solars] | what are some of the main-stream gui'ed irc clients used in ubuntu | 05:22 |

| R-800__ | thiebaude: You mean you've had a similar experience as what I'm describing? | 05:23 |
| HollywoodJumper | R-800 i have had to retry to connect to the wifi weak signal a couple times but hey i cant complain about free internet | 05:23 |
| scunizi | [Solars], but you don't want to use pidgin, for gui .... xchat.. for terminal or other tty .. irssi | 05:23 |
| milind | can any1 plz help me with video chat apps for ubuntu? | 05:23 |
| sjovan | can nautilus connect to ftp-servers? | 05:23 |
| thiebaude | r-800:the internet seems faster with ubuntu installed | 05:23 |
| R-800__ | HollywoodJumper: Do you often find that the acccess point is acquired, but the internet link remains unattained? | 05:24 |
| sjovan | !ask | milind | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | R-800__: Not sure how you are measuring the signal but you can't really go by the bar displayed by network-manager or whatever windows client you use, many windows clients will give you the actual level in db and you can get that from "iwlist scan" in Linux | 05:24 |
| ubottu | milind: 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. :-) | 05:24 |
| [Solars] | sjovan i gotten to mirc and its custom scripts | 05:24 |
| [Solars] | don't think i can revert back to a cli chat program | 05:24 |
| thiebaude | !cli | 05:24 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | xchat is not a cli. : | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | but its all a matter of taste. :) I use xchat under linux and windows. | 05:25 |
| scunizi | [Solars], it's handy when your system is broke and you need irc to get help | 05:25 |
| narfi | i added another share folder and started transfering files from an xp laptop, partway through the samba share quit, and i cant figure out how to get it working properly again, ive reconfigured and restarted it, but that doesnt seem to help, any ideas? | 05:25 |
| thiebaude | what command do you use to get chat in the terminal? | 05:25 |
| R-800__ | Jordan_U: Thanks. I'm not really going by any signal indicators. All my gut feelings on this matter are based on whether connections were acquired or not acquired, and whether connections were lost when weak or not lost when weak. And based on this alone, I arrive at my previously expressed observation about the two OSes. | 05:25 |
| milind | kopete is not working fine. Any alternative for video chat? | 05:25 |

| Jeremified | Okay, I think I found a good tutorial. Thanks | 05:26 |
| R-800__ | It's a pain, really, because I always have to get on Windows to come here to ask questions, and I'd rather be running Ubuntu when asking questions about it. | 05:28 |
| Chei | Đây, không có gì ai nói tiếng Việt mà có thể giúp tôi không? | 05:28 |
| Arckon | This is my first time using linux/ubuntu and i can't figure out how to unzip a .exe file that i have. | 05:28 |
| scunizi | !vt| Chei | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vt | 05:28 |
| dr_willis | Arckon, unzip is for .zip archives normally.... | 05:28 |
| HollywoodJumper | !ekiga | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga | 05:28 |
| [Solars] | scunizi if i need to get on irc for help i got 4 other computers :P | 05:28 |
| ubuntu_ | dame ubunto esapñol | 05:28 |
| thiebaude | arckon:ubuntu doesn't use .exe files | 05:28 |
| scunizi | [Solars], well then your set... so am I but sometimes I don't like running back and forth | 05:29 |
| [Solars] | scunizi there are 3 feet apart lol | 05:29 |
| physically_fit | !es | ubuntu_ | 05:29 |
| Arckon | exactly i need some files that are inside the exe | 05:29 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 05:29 |
| [Solars] | atleas tthis one and the ubuntu box | 05:29 |
| scunizi | Arckon, right mouse click and choose extract | 05:29 |
| R-800__ | HollywoodJumper: So you're suggesting just trying to connect to a weak signal over and over again? I didn't think to try that. : ) | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | Arckon, it might not een be a zip archive. You could run the exe with wine I guess... | 05:29 |
| Arckon | scunizi it doesn't give me that option | 05:29 |
| thiebaude | !wine | 05:30 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 05:30 |
| sjovan | [Solars]: you could always wine mIRC if that's what you prefer... | 05:30 |
| scunizi | Arckon, see what dr_willis said above. | 05:30 |
| [Solars] | sjovan perhaps but i heard that scripts doen't work in that case | 05:30 |
| * krash prefers xchat | 05:30 | |
| Arckon | i'm going to check out this wine you speak of | 05:30 |
| Arckon | brb | 05:30 |
| HollywoodJumper | i did that and ive been on for a pretty continuous amount of time without inturruption | 05:30 |
| [Solars] | the only wine i'll touch comes from a bottle :P | 05:30 |
| R-800__ | One last thing, folks. Does anyone Run ATI cards with Ubuntu? | 05:30 |
| dr_willis | theres also 'cabextract' used to get data files from some .exe archives | 05:30 |
| thiebaude | :) | 05:30 |
| Chei | Việt Nam ai? | 05:31 |
| * krash agrees with [Solars] | 05:31 | |
| scunizi | !vietnam | 05:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vietnam | 05:31 |
| Arckon | Dr_will that's what i need | 05:31 |
| sjovan | [Solars]: well, then i sugest you just google up a cli that understands the script-language that you need :) | 05:31 |
| Arckon | how do i get cabextract to run on it? | 05:31 |
| [Solars] | sjovan heh its not what I need but rather what i am used | 05:31 |
| scunizi | does anyone know the channel or ubottu command for vietnam? | 05:31 |
| [Solars] | seen someone use a client but i can't remember... | 05:32 |
| [Solars] | i thinking it was Quassel | 05:32 |

| Arckon | oh | 05:34 |
| frankie_ | hello everyone. | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | majority of linux tools are command line. :) | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | then ya got front ends that just call those tools | 05:34 |
| krash | onthefence928 can't you just basically copy it from another line in fstab? Or you got the UIID things? | 05:35 |
| Arckon | what if i want it to do it's magic on a file on my desktop what would i type into the terminal | 05:35 |
| SaschaRed | is there any crediance to the engadget story about intrepid breaking intel network cards | 05:35 |
| Arckon | lets call this file setup.exe | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | Arckon, cabextract path/to/the/file.exe | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | im guessing Arckon - check the cabextract man pages for examples/details perhaps. | 05:35 |
| frankie_ | what is the command to get my box to connect to the internet through the ethernet connection? i am a noob..... | 05:36 |

| Arckon | or rather it says "No such file or directory" | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | Arckon, bash basics... ../ is saying go up one directoryu... and linux IS CASE senetive.. Desktop is NOt the same as desktop | 05:38 |
| carandraug | DigitalFiz: yes. It's called ndiswrapper | 05:39 |
| scunizi | Arckon, "cabextract /home/<username>/Desktop/setup.exe | 05:39 |
| fbc | scunizi, yup seems like a wiener to me. | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | Arckon, basics #2 = use the TAB key to complate filenames/paths. | 05:39 |
| carandraug | DigitalFiz: wait. Sorry | 05:39 |

| sjovan | frankie_: everything.... paste it on www.pastebin.com and give us the url | 05:49 |
| kuchiki | i haven't used the alpha yet, but it should pop up and ask you to install that, if not, look for it in the synaptic package manager | 05:49 |

| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: did you reboot, and if so, what were the results? | 05:53 |
| ryan__ | Say you have to force a quit on an app. What do you do if you can not launch that app after you quit or kill it. How do you relaunch the app? | 05:53 |

| kingtekrin | i didnt know im supposed to reboot | 05:53 |

| RickZilla | ok...I'm REALLY new to ubuntu, so I need to figure out what a terminal is first | 06:05 |
| ziesemer | Same as command prompt in Windows. | 06:05 |
| Daft_Punk | RickZilla, it is like cmd in windows | 06:05 |
| RickZilla | ok | 06:05 |
| Daft_Punk | lol beat me to it didnt ya ziesemer | 06:05 |
| amdpox | but a lot more powerfull | 06:05 |
| xiongchiamiov | RickZilla: see that page I just linked | 06:05 |
| xiongchiamiov | yeah, *much* better than cmd | 06:06 |
| xiongchiamiov | although powershell looks interesting | 06:06 |
| kingtekrin | I am in love with linux after two days of being immersed in it, despite being clueless, ONLY because of the wonderful people in this room that are there every step...errr...mistep...of the way | 06:06 |

| Secto1 | ssh is god lol | 06:06 |
| RickZilla | Thanks a ton for the help...I'll see what I can figure out from there before I come back and ask more questions | 06:06 |

| amdpox | kingtekrin, now time to recruit everyone you know | 06:06 |
| marcusU | Where kind I find out more about experiences with Ubuntu and the Dell laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled? | 06:06 |
| Tvustia | yea, i think you will be seeing me alot over the next couple days | 06:06 |
| fiyawerx | Can you get amarok to listen to your keyboard media keys in Ubuntu/Gnome? I assign them, and for instance I select configure shortcuts, and hit my media key for "play" - it sets the shortcut to "xf86audioplay" but then back in amarok, nothing happens | 06:06 |
| kingtekrin | will do... | 06:06 |
| fiyawerx | but if i open up totem, they control it fine | 06:07 |
| ziesemer | Does anyone know what downloading the extra GB in the DVD releases offers over the CD releases in Hardy Heron, etc.? | 06:07 |
| Tvustia | but fromm what i see ubuntu llooks like a VERY pretty place to work, even if its brown | 06:07 |
| xiongchiamiov | ziesemer: more packages? | 06:07 |
| Daft_Punk | ziesemer, i am not SURE but i think it might be extra apps? | 06:07 |
| marcusU | I had to return 1 laptop already and eat $105 because it wouldn't work with Linux. | 06:07 |
| ziesemer | (The colors are easily changable - back to blue, etc. :-) | 06:07 |
| kingtekrin | Tvustia, it doesnt have to be brown | 06:07 |
| tv7497 | as far as i know we can change shell using chsh but is there any way that you can find what are the shell present in my system | 06:07 |
| kingtekrin | you can download a different theme | 06:07 |
| kingtekrin | :) | 06:07 |
| kingtekrin | mines red | 06:07 |
| ziesemer | Daft_Punk, are the default installs the same? Just more packages available to install off the DVD? | 06:07 |
| scunizi | ziesemer, the dvd gives you all 3 installs I think.. kubuntu ubuntu xubuntu and maybe server | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | ziesemer: All of main ( so you don't have to download any packages from main if you have a slow connection ) | 06:08 |
| Tvustia | I need to connect to the internet firs | 06:08 |
| frankie_ | sjovan: by the way, i am not typing on my linux machine right now. i am using a mac. | 06:08 |
| ziesemer | See, I was wondering about "server". | 06:08 |
| Daft_Punk | ziesemer, i think so yes, but ubuntu.com should tell you what the DVD version offers (it is on amazon) | 06:08 |
| amdpox | yup, the DVD has all 3 DEs | 06:08 |
| ziesemer | Including server? | 06:08 |
| Tvustia | I hope I can find an auburn university theme "which i doubt) | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | ziesemer: Yes, using the text based installer | 06:08 |
| Daft_Punk | Tvustia, see my private message ;) | 06:08 |
| ziesemer | As I AM on a slow net connection (EVDO). I have the x64 DVD. Just installed regular desktop ubuntu. Thinking I should've done server instead... | 06:09 |
| sjovan | frankie_: okay... i have never seen anything like that before. the only thing that --> sudo ifdown * <--- does is stoping all your networkinterfaces. then sudo ifup * starts them up again (it's a re-boot) | 06:09 |
| sjovan | something is defently wrong | 06:09 |
| scunizi | ziesemer, why? server comes with no desktop.. you can add one.. but server is for those that know what they need server for. | 06:10 |
| frankie_ | sjovan: oh, wait. does && mean i need to seperate the commands? | 06:10 |
| ziesemer | && will run the 2nd part only if the 1st part completes successfully. | 06:10 |
| sjovan | okay, frankie_ got a wierd problem when he tryes to run ifdown ---> http://pastebin.com/d15e9f2b1 <--- any one got a idee? | 06:10 |
| ziesemer | scunizi, exactly. I'm "upgrading" from a Linksys router running OpenWrt. Want to use it as a router for my EVDO connection. | 06:11 |
| sjovan | frankie_: what ziesemer said | 06:11 |
| frankie_ | this is the command i put in: sudo ifdown * && sudo ifup | 06:11 |
| ziesemer | Network-Manager is interfering. Deciding between just disabling it and whatever else I'm going to run into, or just use server. | 06:11 |
| ziesemer | frankie_ I know this one! :-) | 06:11 |
| scunizi | ziesemer, you can configure desktop to do that I believe.. but I don't know how. | 06:12 |
| ziesemer | One of the exact problems I was having, which is why I was inquiring about server. | 06:12 |
| ziesemer | ifup / ifdown doesn't work by default under recent Ubuntu, because Network Manager is taking them over. | 06:12 |
| kingtekrin | how do i augment my volume? My speakers are capable of far more than its giving me, on a song windows gave me good volume on | 06:12 |
| sjovan | ziesemer: juk! that sucks teh balls | 06:12 |
| ziesemer | I _think_ "ifconfig eth? up|down" may still work. Otherwise, use the GUI. | 06:12 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: check alsamixer (in the terminal) | 06:12 |
| ziesemer | sjovan, what does? | 06:13 |
| frankie_ | i tried using the network manager, but it just confused me with lack of results. | 06:13 |

| xiongchiamiov | is there anyway we can get donatelo11 kicked? | 06:14 |
| ziesemer | If you go into the "Network" applet under Administration and remove the "roaming" checkboxes, Network Manager will ignore the unchecked interfaces, and allow ifup / ifdown, etc., to work again. | 06:14 |
| kingtekrin | fixed it! terminal | 06:14 |

| xiongchiamiov | dr_willis: wouldn't you need an extra -r on the 2nd? | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | owen1, now the questionis WHY did it work... | 06:17 |
| owen1 | dr_willis: i treid the rm '-r' and it didn't. | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | xiongchiamiov you shouldent | 06:17 |
| ziesemer | Well, right. But if he's just moving the cable between computers, more than likely the modem won't acknowledge the new NIC. | 06:17 |
| frankie_ | sjovan: yeah, the "ifconfif" bit just made it reply with "SIOCSIFFLAGS: permission denied | 06:17 |
| ziesemer | Run with sudo. | 06:17 |
| xiongchiamiov | dr_willis: since it's a directory? or rmdir? | 06:17 |

| dr_willis | owen1, you could just use 'mc' and select/delete the file also | 06:18 |
| ziesemer | I assume the trailing space seperates it from flags e.g. "--help"? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | ziesemer, any thing after -- gets passed straight to the command un-parsed by bash. i think is he 'proper' way to descrive what its doing | 06:18 |

| amdpox | glades20, you can either put the themes in ~/.themes or you can put them in /usr/share/themes using root privileges | 06:27 |
| glades20 | oh sorry | 06:27 |
| frankie_ | sjovan: the first one gave me info on the host bridge, the pci bridge, and the ethernet controller. the second command just gave me a new line | 06:27 |

| amdpox | glades20, if you're not stressed about the security of your themes folder, you could just do "sudo chmod -R a+rw /usr/share/themes" in a terminal and then you could write to the folder using the file manager | 06:29 |
| amdpox | fous_, you need to configure WOL in the bios of the receiving machine | 06:29 |

| frankie_ | sjovan: ok, i get it lol. and last time i typed the ifconfig command it just opened the next line...not giving me anything. | 06:35 |
| [Solars] | w/o rebooting to the bios | 06:35 |
| sjovan | frankie_: on eth0 that is... | 06:36 |
| [Solars] | maybe monitor heat and fan rpms | 06:36 |
| === mel is now known as Guest55137 | ||
| sjovan | frankie_: when you just type ifconfig (nothing more then that) ? | 06:36 |
| kingtekrin | i dont think its detecting my nvidia card right | 06:36 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: why? | 06:36 |
| fous_ | the box u want to wake up all u need to turn on is the bios config? | 06:37 |
| fous_ | the settings on the bios? | 06:37 |
| kingtekrin | well, when cedega ran my card it said it failed the first two tests | 06:37 |
| amdpox | fous_, yes | 06:37 |
| kingtekrin | and in the .conf file, it says most of my nvidia stuff is unknown | 06:37 |
| frankie_ | sjovan: ok, i did the ifconfig eth0, and it gave me a mac address and some other info on what i think is the ethernet card | 06:37 |
| Ziroday | [Solars]: you may find this article interesting http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=598&num=1 | 06:37 |
| ziesemer | frankie_, can you pastebin it? | 06:37 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: run (in terminal) "glxgears" and see if it says.. ah, just a minute | 06:37 |
| ziesemer | Err, you probably can't copy/paste, if you don't have inet. :-) | 06:38 |
| frankie_ | ziesemer: i would have to type it all out on the mac, are you really that mean to noobs? :p | 06:38 |
| fous_ | and if that does not work ? | 06:38 |
| ziesemer | Just thought of it. Sneakernet? | 06:38 |
| amdpox | fous_, no idea | 06:38 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: one of the first lines should say 'something or the other enabled' - sorry, don't remember specifically | 06:38 |
| fous_ | i mean don't I have to install something on ununtu ssesrver | 06:38 |
| kingtekrin | nope... | 06:39 |
| kingtekrin | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 06:39 |
| kingtekrin | Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual | 06:39 |
| fous_ | or something that the box can understand to wake up | 06:39 |
| fous_ | i c | 06:39 |
| amdpox | xiongchiamiov, kingtekrin, direct rendering you mean | 06:39 |
| ziesemer | frankie_, I guess, most importantly do you see an IP address? How about bytes RX, TX? | 06:39 |
| xiongchiamiov | amdpox: ah yes, that's it - thanks | 06:39 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: can you put the contents of your xorg.conf in a pastebin please? | 06:39 |
| ziesemer | frankie_, and the first 3 sections (6 alphanumeric chars) of the MAC? | 06:39 |
| frankie_ | ziesemer: i don't see anything that looks like an IP, atleast not the ##.##.##.###etc i am used to | 06:40 |
| kingtekrin | sure which one tho? the .conf1? | 06:40 |
| C0L7 | I have an HP DV6000 Series Notebook and I cant get my webcam to work. Is there something i need to download? | 06:40 |
| frankie_ | ziesemer: but i do see the bytes, TX, RX and all that good stuff | 06:40 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:40 |
| kingtekrin | could someone give me the link :D | 06:40 |
| Sa[i]nT | Anyone know what would keep aMSN from connecting? When everything else does. | 06:40 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: pastebin.com | 06:40 |
| ziesemer | frankie_: Are you getting positive TX / RX counts? | 06:40 |
| pvl1 | C0L7, a driver usually | 06:40 |
| sjovan | frankie_: what does ---> route <--- say? | 06:41 |
| frankie_ | ziesemer: 2867 RX and 417 TX | 06:41 |
| ziesemer | Route probably won't have anything good, without an IP on eth0. | 06:41 |
| Ziroday | !webcam > C0L7 | 06:41 |
| ubottu | C0L7, please see my private message | 06:41 |
| kingtekrin | http://pastebin.com/d3b970189 | 06:41 |
| kingtekrin | but it doesnt even say the word nvidia | 06:41 |
| frankie_ | sjovan: sudo route you mean? remember i am a noob, i need the whole command..... | 06:41 |
| ziesemer | frankie_: Given the 1st 3 bytes (6 alphanumeric chars) of the MAC, let's see if it's actually the NIC card you want? | 06:41 |
| ziesemer | route should work w/o sudo. | 06:42 |
| fous_ | well the settings are enables nothin | 06:42 |
| kevin_ | Is anyone familiar with the newsgroup reader application: Pan? | 06:42 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: you add Driver "nvidia" under the Device section | 06:42 |
| Ziroday | kevin_ you can try asking on that apps respective channel or forum or mailing list | 06:42 |
| frankie_ | ziesemer: 00:07:e9 | 06:43 |
| sjovan | frankie_: nah, route would do, but ziesemer got a good point :) | 06:43 |
| kevin_ | Ziroday, what is the apps channel? | 06:43 |
| kingtekrin | O_O ya but there are like four more xorg files and only one of them says anything about it | 06:43 |
| complex_number | I tried installing ubuntu but it didn't detect my DVD drive | 06:43 |
| complex_number | help! | 06:43 |
| complex_number | it loaded the installer, then it said I need a driver | 06:43 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: what is the usage of the other 4? are they backups? | 06:43 |
| Ziroday | kevin_: look on the programs website | 06:44 |
| kingtekrin | only one says backup | 06:44 |
| weden1226 | 怎么用gcc | 06:44 |
| ziesemer | frankie_, http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=00%3A07%3Ae9 shows that as an Intel card, so that's probably right... | 06:44 |
| jim_p | complex_number: what drive is it? | 06:44 |
| complex_number | DVD multi recorder | 06:44 |
| kingtekrin | one says failsafe one says backup and one has a funny number after it, and one has conf.1 | 06:44 |
| Sa[i]nT | How do I install .package files? What handles them? | 06:44 |
| complex_number | high speed | 06:44 |
| HeMan | shouldn't an icmp route redirect be sent if a route on the default gw is pointing on another host on the same network? | 06:44 |
| fous_ | ha aight | 06:44 |
| complex_number | how do I check what it is | 06:44 |
| complex_number | I forgot | 06:45 |
| complex_number | dmesg? | 06:45 |
| jim_p | complex_number: laptop? please find some more info srom the manifactures site | 06:45 |
| complex_number | it's a computer | 06:45 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: the one with the odd numbers is an automatic backup made by dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver - it's a timestamp | 06:45 |
| complex_number | I built it from scratch | 06:45 |
| ziesemer | frankie_, sjovan : I'm prob going to loose my inet connection soon. I'd concentrate on the DHCP / IP address issue. He's clearly getting traffic, just no "IP" in the real sense... | 06:45 |
| jim_p | complex_number: and you dont know what it is? is it sata connected? | 06:45 |
| kingtekrin | well the conf.1 file is the only one listing nvidia | 06:45 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: try as whoever that was suggested and tell us how it goes | 06:46 |
| ziesemer | DHCP may be disabled / broken, or an external issue is preventing him from receiving any DHCP packets... | 06:46 |
| complex_number | it uses satA | 06:46 |
| sjovan | ziesemer: frankie_ : yeah, this doesn't look like a hw problem at all.... check the cabel, restart the router. maby a static ip could help? | 06:46 |
| complex_number | SATA | 06:46 |
| complex_number | jim | 06:46 |
| Sa[i]nT | How do I install .package files? What handles them? | 06:46 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: the one that linux uses hase the name xorg.conf. all the others are backup and stuff | 06:46 |
| frankie_ | i'll reboot router | 06:46 |
| complex_number | does ubuntu support SATA dvd drives? | 06:46 |
| kingtekrin | i dont know how to add nvidia without screwing something up | 06:46 |
| xiongchiamiov | complex_number: yes | 06:46 |
| ziesemer | A static IP would help troubleshoot, at least. It'd narrow it down to a DHCP issue, really, if everything else works. | 06:46 |
| complex_number | well it doesn't support mine | 06:47 |
| frankie_ | brb | 06:47 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: just a moment | 06:47 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: can i show you my xorg.conf to get an idea? | 06:47 |
| kingtekrin | sure | 06:47 |
| kingtekrin | lol | 06:47 |
| jim_p | http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf | 06:47 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?diff=m1e37c731 | 06:48 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf . have a look where it says fglrx in mine | 06:48 |
| sjovan | ziesemer: nah, but time for bed. say good night to frankie_ from me (if he got logged off now). this is his interfaces btw ---> http://pastebin.com/d1dcbc690 | 06:48 |
| sjovan | good night every one | 06:48 |
| kingtekrin | jim yours is scary | 06:48 |
| kingtekrin | lol | 06:48 |
| complex_number | How do I find out what DVD drive I have | 06:49 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: did you get that diff I sent you? | 06:49 |
| complex_number | I'm running fedora | 06:49 |
| complex_number | and I want to install ubuntu | 06:49 |
| kingtekrin | yes | 06:49 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: mine is what ati wants in full detail | 06:49 |
| kingtekrin | so i add just that line? | 06:49 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: for starters, yep | 06:49 |
| jim_p | sjovan: good night | 06:49 |
| frankie__ | ok, i rebooted the router | 06:49 |
| complex_number | I have a Pioneer SATA DVD burner, and I can't install ubuntu | 06:50 |
| xiongchiamiov | kingtekrin: I'm off to make some maruchan, so I may not respond for a few minutes | 06:50 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: what line? that line >>> Driver"nvidia" | 06:50 |
| complex_number | it needs a driver for my Pioneer SATA DVD burner to install | 06:50 |
| jim_p | complex_number: does the cd load as a live cd or whatever? | 06:50 |
| frankie__ | ok, so it seems that the two guys that were trying to help me and my little internet issue have gone to bed, can anyone help? | 06:50 |
| complex_number | I'm using the alternate CD | 06:51 |
| complex_number | because the live CD doesn't work | 06:51 |
| kingtekrin | yep | 06:51 |
| jim_p | complex_number: and the installation starts? | 06:51 |
| complex_number | NO | 06:51 |
| ziesemer | frankie__, I'm still here, but will be shortly trying to move my EVDO device... | 06:51 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: add it! | 06:51 |
| complex_number | as soon as it loads it says needs a driver for the cdrom drive | 06:51 |
| complex_number | and I don't have it | 06:51 |
| frankie__ | ziesemer: ok, i rebooted the router. what next? | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. ive never seen a cdrom/dvd drive need a driver... | 06:52 |
| ziesemer | If you still don't see an IP address, try configuring a static. If that works, it'd pretty much narrow it down to a DHCP issue. | 06:52 |
| Tvustia | why is ubuntu making african noises? | 06:52 |
| kingtekrin | "You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." | 06:52 |
| jim_p | complex_number: give me a sec to think. the disk is burned properly right? | 06:52 |
| kingtekrin | ubuntu is an african word | 06:52 |
| complex_number | yes | 06:52 |

| kingtekrin | um.... | 06:56 |

| maxtor211 | Hey guys, I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini, and I was wondering if I could install Sabayon on it. This is my question, I have an idea on how to do it and it would go something like this: | 07:48 |
| maxtor211 | Once I put the Sabayon LiveCD in, select the external HDD as the primary HDD to install on, once I've done that, I don't install GRUB since there's no real reason too, then after it's installed on the external HDD, set my external HDD to the primary boot device, does this sound right? Just needed a second opinion. | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | rebel_kid: sudo apt-get install python-twisted, *always* check the repositories first ( apt-cache search twisted ) | 07:48 |

| felipe1982 | it is like saying, you can't hack windows, and install it on a ps3 | 07:56 |
| complex_number | Backing up the roms is legal, playing them on a computer isn't | 07:56 |
| Sa[i]nT | Everything is illegal. Your chances of getting caught even with the media scare, is slim to none. Party on, and enjoy the realm of infinite free tech. | 07:56 |
| PoisonArrow | toshiba, theres plenty of guides, just use google, you probably wont find any info here regardless if its illegal or not | 07:56 |
| Jordan_U | Sa[i]nT: Depending on the software it may not be able to *have* a backup, just illegal to make one :) ( under DMCA circumventing DRM is illegal on its own ) | 07:57 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: of course i did it. a proper made xorg beats any tool of configuration | 07:57 |
| felipe1982 | morals != law | 07:57 |

| maxtor211 | Hey guys, I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini, and I was wondering if I could install Sabayon on it. This is my question, I have an idea on how to do it and it would go something like this: | 08:01 |
| maxtor211 | Once I put the Sabayon LiveCD in, select the external HDD as the primary HDD to install on, once I've done that, I don't install GRUB since there's no real reason too, then after it's installed on the external HDD, set my external HDD to the primary boot device, does this sound right? Just needed a second opinion. | 08:01 |
| jim_p | kingtekrin: give me a sec to search the "database" of my head . mmmmmmm | 08:01 |
| Nextwave | jim_p: video was a problem .. but its not now.. was able to get the nvidia drivers installed but the sound is causing static badly. | 08:01 |

| complex_number | you use nspluginwrapper right? | 08:33 |
| kingtekrin | thats like saying using an n card with backwards compat. is slower than using a g card with a g router | 08:33 |
| ikonia | complex_number: as you've just been told a few lines up | 08:34 |
| ^paradox^ | please i really need help with this | 08:34 |
| defrysk | complex_number, you can also use swfdec for basic flash support | 08:34 |
| complex_number | ikonia: you'd recommend 64 bit ubuntu then, so I can use my 4 GIG, and enjoy a speed boost | 08:35 |
| ikonia | complex_number: I don't think you'll get a speed boost | 08:35 |
| ikonia | complex_number: I think you'll see them perform the same | 08:35 |
| rharish | hello | 08:35 |
| kingtekrin | yep | 08:35 |
| defrysk | complex_number, you get options the choice is yours | 08:35 |
| complex_number | is nspluginwrapper slow? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | complex_number: no | 08:36 |
| complex_number | ok | 08:36 |
| ikonia | complex_number: stop worrying about "speed" you won't see any performance increase, or slow down | 08:36 |
| complex_number | ok | 08:36 |
| * complex_number has installed gentoo before | 08:36 | |
| ikonia | complex_number: what does that matter ? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | complex_number: gentoo is nothing to do with ubuntu, or speed, or anything | 08:37 |
| complex_number | ok | 08:37 |
| Gargantua | Is there a way to get rid of the stupid System Restart required applet in GNOME? | 08:37 |
| Khisanth | he knows how it feels to wait days for stuff to install :) | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: don't apply the updates that need a restart | 08:37 |
| Gargantua | There's really nothing that needs a restart. | 08:38 |
| Gargantua | this is linux ffs. | 08:38 |
| Flannel | Gargantua: please watch your language | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: 1.) ffs - is that really needed, no, 2.) yes things need restarts, like a kernel update, or a gnome desktop update | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: how do you expect a gnome update to take effect without restarting gnome to pickup the changes | 08:38 |
| Gargantua | All I did was install the fglrx drivers. | 08:39 |
| uouou | anyone got any clever insights to my situation? dual-booting slamd64 and xubuntu, my new soundcard works with the fresh xubuntu install, and I'd like to somehow bump the configurations over to slamd64, where the soundcard is detected and everything but no sound occurs | 08:39 |
| Daps | can anyone guide me on installing my logitech QuickCam v11.1 ?? | 08:39 |
| Gargantua | ikonia, ever heard of restarting X? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: yes, and that updates a kernel package | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: that doesnt always do it | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: just deal with it, like a real world senario | 08:39 |
| uouou | both distros are using xfce4 so that might be easy. sound was working in slamd64 with the onboard. new card's ca0106 | 08:39 |
| === zer0 is now known as Guest55949 | ||
| Gargantua | Anyways, there's no way to just get of the applet? | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: right click it | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Gargantua: hit remove, I think | 08:40 |
| Gargantua | No such thing heh | 08:40 |
| uouou | there's so many fracking audio servers/etc in linux... portaudio, pulse, arts, alsa, oss, jack... | 08:40 |

| Khisanth | Gargantua: you could try killing the process, it will either do what you want or take the whole DE with it but you were going to do that anyway! :P | 08:43 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: which one? | 08:43 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: the one that says "don't run badblocks, let fsck manage it | 08:43 |
| Gargantua | heh | 08:44 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Yes I did. -- And did you read the question which I put here in this channel? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: if you want to be smart about it, I suggest you take it to a more appropriate channel as this is not an ubuntu question, | 08:45 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: your persistantly asking generic linux questions, and you respond with smart responses to people trying to offer you advice/help | 08:45 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: badblocks is a component of every recent Ubuntu distribution. | 08:46 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: yes, so it's generic | 08:47 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: your not asking something specific to ubuntu | 08:47 |

| Sa[i]nT | irssi, your not hiding too much. | 08:49 |
| Daft_Punk | ikonia, like that? | 08:49 |
| Gargantua | Hey how do I install a font? | 08:49 |
| Daps | intuitiveNipple: how would i go about knowing the device ID ? | 08:49 |
| Gargantua | say like a .fon or a .ttf | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Sa[i]nT: why did you do that after I just asked someone not to | 08:49 |
| Daft_Punk | Gargantua, install it in /home/user/.fonts | 08:50 |
| Daps | ikonia: Pidgin | 08:50 |
| ikonia | Daft_Punk: like what ? | 08:50 |
| lenios | you didn't ask not to, you asked why | 08:50 |
| Sa[i]nT | ikonia: I was wondering, from your reaction, I thought maybe like Air Force One's IRC, hijacked from the pentagon would show up lol. | 08:50 |
| ikonia | Daps: I'll have a little look into that | 08:50 |
| Daft_Punk | ikonia, i did a whois on you, just seeing if that was the request | 08:50 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Daps: "lsusb" and the but you want is something like this: "ID 05ca:1836" | 08:50 |
| Gargantua | Daft_Punk, just copy/paste? | 08:50 |
| Daps | ikonia: what exactly did it do? | 08:50 |
| Gargantua | also what if I want it for all users? | 08:50 |
| ikonia | Daps: it queries my client for information about my client | 08:50 |
| Daft_Punk | Gargantua, you might not have that folder, you may have to create it, just copy paste font files in there | 08:50 |
| Daft_Punk | Gargantua, remember it has a period infront of the .fonts so it is hidden (/home/user/.fonts) | 08:51 |
| Daps | ikonia: i'm new to linux, so i dunno why that happened | 08:51 |
| Gargantua | Yeah I know | 08:51 |
| Gargantua | also what if I want it for all users? | 08:51 |
| Daps | intuitiveNipple: ID 046d:08da is the ID | 08:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Daps: thanks, give me amo | 08:51 |
| Sa[i]nT | it's kind of hard to accidently version somebody. | 08:51 |
| Daft_Punk | Gargantua, i am not sure about that, you could always copy it in the other users home folders? | 08:51 |
| Gargantua | heh | 08:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Daps: you need the gspca driver | 08:52 |
| Daft_Punk | Gargantua, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275202 | 08:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Daps: Try this - if you get a report, the driver is installed: modinfo gspca | grep -i '046d.*08da' | 08:53 |
| Daps | IntuitiveNipple: i've downloaded that driver, but i don't know how to run it | 08:53 |

| Ziroday | amanu: okay | 09:26 |
| amanu | they are in us | 09:26 |
| amanu | im in india | 09:26 |
| amanu | Ziroday:as my net speed is slow | 09:26 |
| Jaffarkelshac | then the best would be uploading it to the web for them to download. there are some that have passwords for it | 09:26 |
| amanu | i wnat to give them access to my system to see all | 09:26 |
| Ziroday | amanu: that would be very difficult to let them see all your photo's. The best idea would be to zip them up and upload the to somewhere on the internet for them to download | 09:26 |
| Ziroday | amanu: unfortunatly giving them access to your system is very complicated | 09:27 |
| amanu | Ziroday:to send each photo of around 2.5 mb for me it takes around 5 min | 09:27 |
| amanu | Ziroday: ihave some hundredss | 09:27 |
| amanu | Ziroday:of a function | 09:27 |
| Ziroday | amanu: the best idea is to copy them to a dvd and mail it to them | 09:28 |
| amanu | Ziroday:cant i give them to acess my system to see once | 09:28 |
| amanu | later i will mail b coz it takes much time | 09:28 |
| Jaffarkelshac | in any case your it would still take 5 min for them to see the picture if they accessed your machine. | 09:28 |
| srg | amanu maybe you can decrease the resolution of the pictures? | 09:29 |
| Jimm- | xrandr is just giving me jitter on both tvs i've tried it on, anyone know why this would be? | 09:29 |

| amanu | srg:how to minimise size | 09:30 |
| amanu | im now in ubuntu | 09:30 |
| amanu | any suggesstions to reduce size of a picture/ | 09:30 |
| Ziroday | toxicosmos: I have been unable to find an external repo with muine 0.8.8 or later hosted. If you really need the latest packages you can run the unstable intrepid release which is currently at beta stage however this is extremely dangerous. You can also wait a month or so for intrepid to be released normally | 09:30 |
| Jaffarkelshac | it is, but with your slow speed, browsing your computer would be very slow amanu | 09:30 |
| Ziroday | amanu: you can convert them to a different format, lower the resolution and/or compress them | 09:30 |
| amanu | Jaffarkelshac:ok may be a slow to browse but can we do so/ | 09:31 |
| Jaffarkelshac | yes amanu, it can be done | 09:31 |
| Ziroday | amanu: and yes they can access your system, but it will be *extremely* slow and very very difficult to setup | 09:31 |
| Ziroday | amanu: as well as unsafe | 09:32 |
| Jaffarkelshac | your best option is to reduce res of pictures upload them | 09:32 |
| Ziroday | amanu: or mail them | 09:32 |
| Jaffarkelshac | there is a scale image in gimp for reduction resolution amanu | 09:34 |

| technoid_ | max: can you see the partitions? | 10:40 |
| Jimm- | Ziroday, I probably have a VGA -> Composite adapter somewhere in my drawer, that should do the trick. | 10:40 |
| OneZero | blag: ok, it's no hurry.. | 10:40 |
| maxtor211 | i cant write anything to my external HDD this is a brand new HDD im kinda panicing lol | 10:40 |
| DEViUS | maxtor211: is it ntfs | 10:40 |
| blag | _fs: and, tbh, i would rather you grab a livecd and use that, so we dont touch the system, but i kinda want to get you past grub | 10:40 |
| maxtor211 | no its ext3 | 10:40 |
| maxtor211 | i formatted it ext3 | 10:40 |
| maxtor211 | thats when it started | 10:40 |
| neil_d | I put this line "*/10 * * * * rootdate +'%F %r' >> /tmp/cron_test.txt" in /etc/crontab why doesn't it do anything ? | 10:40 |
| technoid_ | max: could be a permissions issue | 10:41 |
| DEViUS | maxtor211: did you check the permissions | 10:41 |
| blag | _fs: so if you have a livecd, nows the time to use it. it not, please reboot and tell me whats in grub | 10:41 |
| maxtor211 | Yeah that's what it says | 10:41 |
| maxtor211 | I dont have permission to write to it | 10:41 |
| _fs | blag: alright i'll boot up the ubuntu live cd now | 10:41 |
| maxtor211 | The folder "Backup Logos" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination. | 10:41 |
| koshari | maxtor211 mount it using an fstab entry | 10:41 |
| DEViUS | maxtor211: give yourself some privileges | 10:41 |
| maxtor211 | so what would the command be sorry | 10:41 |
| maxtor211 | im sorry kinda new to linux | 10:42 |
| DEViUS | koshari: i dont think its necessary to use an fstab entry, or what do you think | 10:42 |
| koshari | you need to add a line in your fstab file depending on the device/uuid/permisions ect, and then run mount with the appropiate switches | 10:42 |
| maxtor211 | How do I do that | 10:42 |
| DEViUS | koshari: yeah | 10:42 |
| maxtor211 | Im confused :9 | 10:43 |
| maxtor211 | so what command would | 10:43 |
| DEViUS | maxtor211: see my private msg | 10:43 |
| maxtor211 | i run? | 10:43 |
| koshari | DEViUS unles its a portable and you could write a script to mount it, i like fstab entrys there a lot more organised, this is how i mount my removable sata backup drive' | 10:43 |
| blag | OneZero: http://www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/running-ms-office-2003-under-linux-with-wine-0952.html looks to be your best bet. you will be using the latest version of wine (or close to it) and wine _finally_ hit 1.0 this year, so it might be even easier. | 10:43 |
| arkhat | hello, is it possible to install additional dictionaries in the gedit spell-checking menu? | 10:44 |
| koshari | maxtor211 firsty crate a folder from your home dir to mount it, this way you will have all the correct permissions, | 10:44 |
| koshari | then mount the drive to that place card (or folder). | 10:44 |
| defrysk | arkhat, sudo apt-get install aspell-<yourregion> | 10:44 |
| OneZero | blag: thanks, I have the latest Wine version. I'll go and take a look at this page.. | 10:44 |
| neil_d | I put this line "*/10 * * * * rootdate +'%F %r' >> /tmp/cron_test.txt" in /etc/crontab why doesn't it do anything ? I expected to do the command every 10 minutes. | 10:44 |
| blag | maxtor211: did you format the external drive as ext3? | 10:44 |
| arkhat | defrysk, desn't work | 10:44 |
| defrysk | arkhat, no ? | 10:45 |

| blag | DEViUS: learn me something good or send me somewhere good please. | 10:46 |
| defrysk | arkhat, go to the tools section of gedit and select language and if you wish autocheck | 10:46 |
| arkhat | defrysk, I can only choose turk(?!?) from that menu | 10:46 |
| DEViUS | blag: do you see the network icon on top in the navigation pane | 10:46 |
| defrysk | arkhat, what language would you like to add ? | 10:47 |
| blag | DEViUS: you want me to go to nm-applet > Create a Wireless Network, right? | 10:47 |
| arkhat | english | 10:47 |
| blag | DEViUS: but yes | 10:47 |
| defrysk | sudo apt-get install aspell-en and restart gedit | 10:47 |
| DEViUS | blag: not create connect | 10:47 |
| DEViUS | blag: wait you want to make one not join right? | 10:48 |
| blag | DEViUS: correct, i want to make an ap, not connect. im creating one to cover for my router which died earlier this evening. | 10:49 |
| DEViUS | blag: i thoght vice versa sry | 10:49 |
| arkhat | oh defrysk my fault, I was somehow sure thatopenoffice required aspell-<> as dependency | 10:50 |
| arkhat | thank you ;) | 10:50 |
| blag | DEViUS: no worries. the weird thing is that when i do use nm-applet to "create" a wireless network, it tries to connect to it instead of creating it. | 10:50 |
| blag | DEViUS: network-manager 0.7 cant come soon freaking enough | 10:50 |
| DEViUS | blag: yeah, its nuts | 10:51 |

| _fs | blag: ok, in which case I'd have to replace the kernel? | 11:21 |

| erUSUL | DIFH-iceroot: there are a few online port scanners (shields up! for example) | 11:22 |

| DIFH-iceroot | erUSUL: thx | 11:23 |
| HymnToLife | carrera: gimp? | 11:23 |
| jrib | gmic: why are you double clicking deb packages instead of installing from the repositories? | 11:23 |
| carrera | Hydromethod, thanks but it's a huge app | 11:24 |
| gmic | jrib, because I have no internet connection on my ubuntu (chatting from win xp) | 11:24 |
| jrib | Aaqil: First, open a terminal window (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - . Have you done that? | 11:24 |
| blag | that would be my guess, but back up everything you can to something external, backup all of the kernels in /, and then throw in an updated kernel. when was this machine installed or last kernel updated? | 11:25 |
| jrib | gmic: where did you get the .deb's from? | 11:25 |
| HymnToLife | carrera: do you want to just read the images and do nothing on them? | 11:25 |
| gmic | packages.ubuntu.org | 11:25 |
| blag | _fs: see my last message in the channel | 11:25 |
| Aaqil | jrib: yup i did that | 11:25 |
| carrera | HymnToLife, yessir, I just want to be able to read scanned docs | 11:26 |
| blag | _fs: well, you will also have to point grub to the updated kernel, of course | 11:26 |
| _fs | blag: not normally in charge of this machine, just trying to help a mate out. I'd say it's been over a year. It was instlaled in june 2007, doubt itd been updated since then | 11:26 |
| carrera | Eye of Gnome only shows the first page of a tiff doc | 11:26 |
| jrib | gmic: try installing from a terminal with: dpkg -i *.deb (in the right directory). You also need to make sure you've satisfied all of the dependencies yourself | 11:26 |
| HymnToLife | carrera: then try eog (Gnome) or Kuickshow/Gwenview/Okular (KDE) | 11:26 |
| jrib | Aaqil: no errors or output? | 11:26 |
| carrera | HymnToLife, thanks | 11:26 |
| _fs | blag: i'll start there then. should I just be using the latest version of the kernel or what? It's running ubuntu 7.04 | 11:27 |

| jrib | Aaqil: then the last step (I'm just copying and paste the site verbatim here): sudo apt-get update | 11:29 |

| mkdigital | hi@all, i got a problem with my webcam in my acer aspire one; ubuntu crashes everytime i try to access it (via skype or any other program) | 11:30 |
| blag | _fs: i would play it safe and see if you can get the latest kernel for 7.04. on the other hand, the actual kernel may be a little messed up, so you may want to try replacing that with the same version (-16) as before | 11:30 |
| Aaqil | jrib: output >> Reading package lists... Done | 11:30 |
| gmic | jrib, that's exactly what I was talking about in my original question. I am about to satisfy dependencies and one of the is g++. G++ tells me I need to install libc++. But then libc++ tells me I need to install g++. So I'm stuck. I'll use xterm and try to install the packages. Will copy xterm output. Will then come back and pastebin the output and sources.list. Will you be around? | 11:30 |
| carrera | HymnToLife, then EOG doesn't work. cause it only shows first page of tiff docs | 11:30 |
| jrib | Aaqil: you're done. You should have an update for wine in your update-manager | 11:30 |
| HymnToLife | carrera: I'm not familiar with Add/Remove, but it seems to sort the packages in categories, and other stuff like that | 11:30 |
| HymnToLife | while Synaptic just shows you the list of packages, and that's that | 11:30 |
| _fs | blag: alright, I'll give that a try. Is it as simple as swapping the files out and pointing grub at the new kernel? | 11:30 |
| blag | _fs: at any rate, i need to get to bed, as ive reached the end of my knowledge on the subject and my sleep | 11:30 |

| jrib | gmic: yeah, using dpkg may sort that out for you since they seem to depend on each other | 11:31 |
| carrera | HymnToLife, I've found packages in Synaptic that are not in Add/Remove | 11:31 |

| tabbu | hi, i had to reinstall (x)ubuntu, now i can't switch to 1440x900 on my laptop. i have a nvidia card and configured it properly to use nv + 1024x768 (at start ubuntu said,its running in low graphics mode), but i can't switch to 1440x900 either?! | 12:59 |
| solexious | How can I put a file into a .zip of its own from the command line? | 12:59 |
| LjL | edmont82: does that seem relevant? | 12:59 |
| ompaul | yabuk, s/browser/thunderbird | 13:00 |
| tabbu | solexious, zip -9 test.zip test | 13:00 |

| Bluze | I would like to know how I can set up Ubuntu to automatically mount a partition on system startup? | 13:01 |
| tabbu | solexious, -r for recursive (subdirectories including) | 13:01 |
| tabbu | Bluze, you can edit /etc/fstab manually | 13:01 |
| Bluze | Thank you tabbu, I will run a Google search first. | 13:02 |

| yabuk | ompaul, erUSUL: neither do I need the Hotmail-1.2.18 ? (see http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#webmail) | 13:03 |
| LjL | edmont82: uhm, sorry if i ask but how do you know, given it's really using USB... | 13:03 |
| edmont82 | LjL: I put the HD inside the usb disk enclosure | 13:04 |
| LjL | edmont82: i suspect the USB converter may change the protocol anyway | 13:05 |
| tabbu | !lcd | 13:05 |

| LjL | edmont82: wait, how can it be /dev/sda, if it's a second hard drive? (and use the pastebin next time, please) | 13:06 |
| amanu | can we have any softwares here | 13:06 |

| edmont82 | LjL: i dont have it connected now | 13:09 |
| edmont82 | 1 min... | 13:09 |
| LjL | edmont82: well, i'd check it, especially to see what the read times are like... assuming hdparm works over USB, anyway | 13:09 |
| amanu | tabbu:do u have an idea of how to make use of it to reduce size(from mb to kb)using it | 13:09 |
| LjL | edmont82: are you sure the USB enclosure, too, is definitely USB 2.0? | 13:09 |
| tabbu | amanu, what is the filename of that file? | 13:09 |
| amanu | Bluze:yes i find it just now | 13:09 |
| CuriousCat | hey there! | 13:09 |
| amanu | tabbu:whose file name? | 13:10 |
| tabbu | amanu, of that file | 13:10 |

| amanu | tabbu:cani using gimp? | 13:11 |
| CuriousCat | I'm thinking that it must be the permissions to the flash drive, but I don't know how to change it. Can anyone help? | 13:12 |

| Ileden | Hi! I'm using dualboot Win & Ubuntu. Problem is, my LCD display shows Win screen some pixels to the left, Ubuntu some pixels to the right. Auto-adujust fixes this, but it's annoying to do constantly... Any ideas how I should approach the problem? | 13:16 |
| edmont82 | LjL: 15.75 MB/sec, too slow | 13:16 |
| LjL | edmont82: perhaps you can also run it with the "-i" option to see what DMA mode it's using? | 13:16 |
| edmont82 | ok | 13:16 |

| WDC | LjL: Yes. This is a server install | 13:30 |
| LjL | WDC: so? | 13:30 |
| WDC | LjL: I don't know. It came like that | 13:31 |

| LjL | WDC: it can't have come like that if it's a genuine and proper ubuntu cd | 13:31 |
| WDC | LjL: Well it was. It's a real CD with labels and all. ANyway, what should I add? | 13:31 |
| LjL | solexious: no, but the system will automatically swap out memory that's not really being used, when it needs more | 13:31 |
| WDC | LjL: It's a Ubuntu | 13:31 |
| LjL | WDC: i can tell you what you should add, but i'd really like to make very sure you aren't using a lot of packages that belong to debian and not ubuntu, which would break your system very easily now. | 13:32 |

| LjL | WDC: i've included everything except the "backports" repository | 13:41 |

| LjL | WDC: that's using the swedish mirror (se.archive.ubuntu.com), of course you can change that | 13:41 |
| Ileden | Myrtti: as you might notice, I'm finally in the (long) process of migrating to linux :) | 13:42 |
| WDC | LjL: so just remove the se.? | 13:42 |

| Myrtti | Ileden: have you joined -fi already? | 13:42 |
| Fructose | Jimm-: I doubt I installed it because everything was working fine. | 13:42 |
| LjL | WDC: if you want to use the UK mirror, remove the se., otherwise change it into your favourite country... | 13:42 |
| LjL | WDC: or just keep the se. if it's fast for you ;) | 13:42 |
| WDC | LjL: I guess us. is correct | 13:42 |

| Ileden | Myrtti: No problem for me, since this is my second client (I haven't yet looked up using multiple networks with irssi) | 13:44 |
| Jimm- | Fructose, just try using flashplugin-nonfree, run firefox in a console and see if you can get info as to why its crashing. | 13:44 |
| ComradeHaz | Hi all. I have a piece of software that is an IPTV 'client' for a feed here at my uni. It's windows only but I've got it working in Wine. The oly problem with it I now have is that if I have IPmasq running the client loses 'connection' to the multiccast feed. | 13:44 |
| atlef | LjL: my usb stick, it starts writing at the right speed then slows to a halt | 13:45 |
| Fructose | Jimm-: I don't think you know what you're talking about. This is a long-standing issue. | 13:45 |
| ComradeHaz | Anyone have any thoughts why? | 13:45 |
| Myrtti | Ileden: use /connect instead of /server and you'll get two networks :-P | 13:45 |
| LjL | atlef: you don't low level format a USB stick. you can, of course, just format it, see "man mkfs" | 13:45 |
| Skrux | how do I configure the host in no-ip to be the same as if I write the ip, and default to port 80 ? | 13:45 |

| LjL | atlef: it really *halts*? | 13:46 |
| trabahuuuuu | can you help me for enable desktop effects on ubuntu 7.10 | 13:46 |
| Fructose | Jimm-: What? I said exactly what my problem was. Firefox crashes, uninstalled a package, now no audio. | 13:46 |
| WDC | LjL: Okay, got the package, but when ./configureing pygtk i get configure: error: could not find Python headers | 13:46 |
| Ileden | Myrtti: Ok, that's easy then :) But the bigger problem is I've programmed a simple usability enhancement for irssi, and it'll probebly need some tweaking to work in multiple networks... | 13:46 |
| atlef | LjL: not completely, but it slows to a crawl, from ca 10mb/s to 1mb/s | 13:47 |
| === marko_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| Jimm- | Fructose, I assume if you knew why it was crashing, you wouldn't be here? | 13:47 |
| LjL | WDC: why are you compiling pygtk manually? (i guess you are since you're using configure). it's in the repositories. | 13:47 |
| WDC | LjL: What a world lol | 13:47 |
| WDC | LjL: What's it under? | 13:47 |
| Fructose | Jimm-: Then you make really bad assumptions. Just because I know that it is crashing doesn't mean I know a solution that stops crashing and gets me audio. | 13:47 |
| tavi | ushimitsudoki: | 13:47 |
| LjL | atlef: err, that's pretty normal if it's a USB 1.0, or otherwise not very performant, USB stick. the 10MB/s you see at the beginning is an illusion, it's just caching into RAM and not writing to the stick, and that's perfectly normal | 13:48 |
| tavi | i installed | 13:48 |
| tavi | putted some files | 13:48 |
| Ileden | Myrtti: then again, when I get it to work with multiple networks, I can release it, which would be nice... hmm, maybe I really should start working on that :) | 13:48 |

| DawnLight | hey. how can i change the default system language? I have only english values in /etc/environment. dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't give ask me any questions, unlike in debian, which i am used to. so how does this work here? | 13:49 |
| atlef | LjL: and i've never had these problems before today | 13:49 |
| WDC | LjL: Thank god I got the .deb. SO MANY dependencies | 13:49 |
| ushimitsudoki | DawnLight: You can select "Language Support" from the admin menu (I think - not on GNOME, but it is there or settings if my memory serves) | 13:50 |
| Ileden | Myrtti: it's really simple - only pastes empty lines when there's inactivity - but it's a great and neat visualization for me :) | 13:50 |
| LjL | atlef: try running "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdwhatever" on your usb stick and see the rates it reports, if it works | 13:50 |
| iljcu | is there a dutch channel of ubuntu? | 13:50 |
| LjL | WDC: wait, you used apt-get install, not literally "got the .deb", right? | 13:50 |
| atlef | LjL: will do, thanks | 13:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | DawnLight: You can enable complex character entry and select languages from the login screen as well after the various language support is installed | 13:50 |

| WDC | LjL: Yes. But ya know. I used apt | 13:50 |
| Ileden | Myrtti: and blogging... well... I'd really want to have a blog or two. But I'm in the process of writing my own blog system, so maybe when that's completed :D | 13:50 |
| DawnLight | ushimitsudoki: i'd like to use the system's tools and not the GUI for this. I'd like to actually know what it is doing | 13:51 |

| ComradeHaz | nVidia? | 13:56 |
| ComradeHaz | It's trivial if it is | 13:56 |

| ComradeHaz | maybe | 13:57 |
| ComradeHaz | I wouldn't know what to do | 13:57 |
| complex_number | why can't ubuntu mount my hard drive? | 13:57 |
| LjL | atlef: uhm well, that looks fast... can you also please find some big file (at least some 50 megabytes, more if you can), and copy it to your stick from the CLI, by using "time cp sourcefile destination", and give me the size and timings? | 13:57 |
| complex_number | it drops into a busybox terminal | 13:57 |
| ComradeHaz | you'll be wanting to play with X11 settings | 13:57 |
| complex_number | so does debian, and gentoo when I try and install | 13:57 |
| evil_saltine | lleden: maybe change the refresh rate in one of them, that might allow you to change the settings independently | 13:57 |
| Ileden | evil_saltine: ok, how do I change the refresh rate? | 13:58 |
| ComradeHaz | complex_number: try another kernel | 13:58 |

| complex_number | I'm using a SATA hard disk | 13:58 |
| Ileden | Hmm.... I'll go check the display configuration tool on windows side... I'll be back soon -> | 13:59 |

| evil_saltine | lleden: in ubuntu, I don't know, but I'm sure it's in the settings somewhere | 13:59 |
| erUSUL | complex_number: also check the conf of the sata chip on bios. do not enable raid mode (unless you have to) and set the mode to ahci if possible | 13:59 |
| evil_saltine | I don't know if it would work for sure anyway, just a hunch | 13:59 |
| complex_number | what is ahci? | 14:00 |
| ComradeHaz | or ide behaviour | 14:00 |
| erUSUL | complex_number: is a standar interface for sata chips very well supported by linux including NCQ and hotpluggin | 14:00 |
| ComradeHaz | best is if you can turn off anything like Jmicrons RAID | 14:00 |

| SxGirl | but fglrxinfo says it's still mesa | 14:30 |
| SxGirl | can anyone help out? | 14:30 |
| ompaul | atlef, for "<atlef> LjL: the command deletes the filesystem" | 14:30 |
| erUSUL | atlef: why on earth are you overwirtting a device node????!!!!!!!! | 14:30 |
| SxGirl | also | 14:30 |
| SxGirl | sudo aticonfig --initial | 14:30 |

| FloodBot3 | SxGirl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:30 |
| SxGirl | sorry | 14:30 |
| LjL | atlef: well, for claiming i've tried to delete your filesystem... but cp really doesn't delete a filesystem, anyway, no need to apologize, but it just doesn't delete the filesystem | 14:31 |
| SxGirl | Of course CP deletes a filesystem | 14:31 |
| Raylz | LyX-Student: Jimm-: im running gentoo and id like the hardy theme^^ the one thats used in the standard install | 14:31 |
| atlef | LjL: oh, i just stated what happened, not trying to blame anyone | 14:31 |
| Ileden | sharav: could be the grub booter is messed up, could be the complete ubuntu filesystem is somehow broken... hopefully someone can point you to right direction. | 14:31 |
| erUSUL | LjL: well if you do this sudo time cp koss_gjoer_me_det_ep01.wav.zip /dev/sdi2 | 14:31 |
| legend2440 | SxGirl: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Removing_Mesa_drivers | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | LjL: like he/she did you destroy the filesystem in /dev/sdi2 ... | 14:32 |
| SxGirl | ok let me try removing them legend2440 | 14:32 |
| Jimm- | Raylz, I think it's just called human, try gnome-look.org | 14:32 |
| LjL | yes indeed | 14:32 |
| Ileden | sharav: hope you get it fixed! | 14:32 |
| sharav | Ileden: thanks, is there anywhere you suggest i ask? I tried looking online for help... didn't find any solutions | 14:32 |
| Jimm- | SxGirl, what card do you have? | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | LjL: so yes cp on the wrong hands is a WOMD XD | 14:32 |
| SxGirl | legend2440, Package xserver-xgl is not installed, so not removed | 14:33 |
| SxGirl | Jimm-, radeon 4850 :) | 14:33 |
| SxGirl | HD | 14:33 |
| atlef | [14:57:24] <LjL> atlef: uhm well, that looks fast... can you also please find some big file (at least some 50 megabytes, more if you can), and copy it to your stick from the CLI, by using "time cp sourcefile destination", and give me the size and timings? this is what you said | 14:33 |
| LjL | atlef, unmount that usb stick immediately, "sudo umount /dev/sdi" | 14:33 |
| SxGirl | legend2440, that's what apt spits out | 14:33 |
| Ileden | sharav: this would be the right place. I think trying to somehow reinstall grub might be the right approach - at least that makes sure grub is ok, and problem is wiht the ubuntu filesystem (which is not what I'm hoping, though) | 14:33 |
| LjL | atlef: yes, but the destination shouldn't have been /dev | 14:33 |
| Jimm- | !ati | SxGirl | 14:33 |
| ubottu | SxGirl: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 14:33 |
| LjL | atlef: anyway, unmount that thing | 14:33 |
| atlef | LjL: so it needs to be unmounted, ok | 14:34 |
| Ileden | sharav: if nobody else answers, try asking again after some time | 14:34 |
| LjL | atlef: it needs to be unmounted if you want to have some hope of saving anything that was in it | 14:34 |
| sharav | Ileden: do you know how i reinstall grub? or is there a way to launch ubuntu from the command line? | 14:34 |
| SxGirl | What I already told you what card it was Jimm- | 14:34 |
| LyX-Student | Raylz: http://www.gnome-look.org/ search for hardy and you'll find it | 14:34 |
| SxGirl | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9442 | 14:34 |
| atlef | LjL: i dont need to save anything, it was empty | 14:34 |
| SxGirl | But I know its a radeon 4850 :P | 14:34 |
| sharav | Ileden: alright, thanks again | 14:35 |
| Jimm- | SxGirl, sorry have you already read that? | 14:35 |
| LjL | atlef: good thing that. anyway, when you're copying a *file* to some drive, you need to specify the *path where it's mounted*, which in that case would probably be /media/sdi or something. not /dev/sdi, because that means writing *raw* to the drive | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | !grub > Ileden | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Ileden, please see my private message | 14:35 |

| Sarmento | 14:36 | |
| Sarmento | Good morning, everybody! | 14:36 |
| LjL | atlef: i guess i could have specified that, i'm sorry about that, but really, next time be very careful with doing anything that involves "sudo" and "/dev" | 14:36 |
| atlef | LjL: ok, i did not know that, will try now | 14:36 |
| Sarmento | I want to take a doubt | 14:36 |
| atlef | LjL: no problem | 14:36 |
| LjL | atlef: is there a reason why you used sudo to begin with? (i see now that the "sudo" is the reason why i didn't recognize the "time" output) | 14:36 |
| SxGirl | ya Jimm- | 14:36 |
| SxGirl | I was reading this actually https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 14:36 |

| atlef | LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51650/ is what i get. and no sudo this time | 14:38 |
| SxGirl | Is there a way to run a login prompt instead of the gnome login on startup? | 14:38 |
| LjL | atlef: well, it would do that, if you use /dev, but not if you use the right place. don't use sudo lightly, ask first | 14:38 |
| ricosecada | What exactly does the apt script in cron-daily do? | 14:38 |

| Sarmento | My computer has three (03) partitions, (File, WindosXP, Ubuntu 7.10) | 14:40 |
| SxGirl | This means I have to startx too right? | 14:40 |
| erUSUL | SxGirl: no problem | 14:40 |
| ricosecada | erUSUL, how very funny | 14:40 |
| erUSUL | SxGirl: indeed | 14:40 |
| SxGirl | ok great :P | 14:40 |
| grey488 | SxGirl: edit the runlevel configuration to 3 | 14:40 |
| SxGirl | one more question | 14:40 |
| SxGirl | I have a .fon, is there a way to configure grub and the commandline to use it? | 14:40 |
| LjL | atlef: well, it took even less to write the file than last time... but i still believe it's doing a cached write. type "time sudo sync" now and see how long it takes ("sync" is a command that forces the system to write out everything it has pending) | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | grey488: no inittab on ubuntu also in debian/ubuntu runlevels has no meaning | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | !upstart | grey488 | 14:41 |
| ubottu | grey488: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 14:41 |
| Sarmento | The doubt is that I am wanting to format the partition of Ubuntu 7.10 in place and install the Ubuntu 8.04 and I am in doubt! | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | SxGirl: grub do not think so. for console there is consolechars command iirc | 14:41 |
| atlef | LjL: real 0m4.269s | 14:42 |
| SxGirl | erUSUL, ok how do I use it :P | 14:42 |

| kebomix | hello . i need link for Vmware workstation 5 for linux | 14:42 |

| erUSUL | SxGirl: well you are a slackware user just "man consolechars" ;P iirc is "sudo consolechars -f fontfile" | 14:43 |
| atlef | LjL: that is what i do not understand. could it be "depleted" | 14:43 |
| SxGirl | hehe ok | 14:43 |
| SxGirl | I didnt know what it was called | 14:43 |
| LjL | atlef: what do you mean depleted? | 14:43 |
| defrysk | -p | 14:44 |

| Jeremy23 | Off the top of their head, can anyone tell me what is the Metacity theme in this URL? | 14:44 |
| Jeremy23 | http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/56438-1.png | 14:44 |
| LjL | atlef: (or, with modern sticks, it silently just stops using one sector) | 14:44 |
| Jeremy23 | It used to ship with Ubuntu, but not now. | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | atlef: that's why a journaled fs like ext3 is a bad idea for a usb stick i would use ext2 or fat for flash disks | 14:45 |
| atlef | LjL: i thought so to | 14:45 |
| SxGirl | ok brb | 14:45 |
| grey488 | erUSUL: why inittab isn't supported anymore on ubuntu? | 14:45 |
| DawnLight | hey. how can i change the default system language? I have only english values in /etc/environment. dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't give ask me any questions, unlike in debian, which i am used to. so how does this work here? i'd like to know how to do this without GUIs, please | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | grey488: becouse ubuntu uses upstart not "System V" init system | 14:46 |
| atlef | erUSUL: well had ext2 not 3, typo. sorry | 14:46 |
| dani | hello | 14:46 |
| === dani is now known as Guest33790 | ||
| erUSUL | grey488: but anyway as i said even before the switch to upstart runlevels have no menaning for ubuntu all where the same (except 0 1 and 6 of course) | 14:47 |
| grey488 | erUSUL: so that's the equivalent config file of inittab | 14:47 |
| koala_man | how are you supposed to use libgtk2.0-0-dbg? I get /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.9 but not /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so so I can't specify CFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib | 14:47 |
| Guest33790 | how can 1 set variables like PATH so the change is seen on the whole system? | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | grey488: there is none files under /etc/event.d/ have taken the role of inittab | 14:47 |
| LjL | atlef: but anyway i don't understand why now the file seemed to get copied pretty fast | 14:47 |
| atlef | LjL: all of this brings me back to lowlevelformat, as i thought would maybe fix it. but not sure | 14:47 |
| Ketobi | hi all, during the last update libc6 went broken, what can i do to resolve this issue? apt-get -f upgrade doesn't work | 14:48 |

| Jeremy23 | /msg ubottu etiquette | 14:48 |
| atlef | LjL: but whencopying larger files it slows to a crawl | 14:48 |
| feistel | how I can boot the text-based installer from normal live cd? | 14:48 |
| Guest33790 | /etc/skel/ is not the new user skeleton files directory? | 14:48 |
| atlef | feistel: i think you need the alternate cd | 14:49 |
| sharav | Hope its not too early to repost: I installed ubuntu 8.04 with the install inside windows option and everything was working great until now... i shut off the power to my computer while running a program that I couldn't fix the screen resolution to, and now my computer won't boot up ubuntu... whenever i try i end up in something that says grub4dos and gives me a grub> command line... can anyone help me? I would really appreciate i | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | Guest33790: right | 14:49 |
| LjL | atlef: i do believe there's no such thing as a low level format for a usb stick... and if i'm wrong, i still think the only place you might find a tool to do that is the manufacturer's site | 14:49 |
| atlef | LjL: ok | 14:49 |
| Jeremy23 | Seriously, guys, it takes 5 seconds to look. Does anybody know this Metacity theme? | 14:49 |
| Jeremy23 | http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/56438-1.png | 14:49 |
| atlef | LjL: thank you for the help | 14:49 |
| Guest33790 | erUSUL: Is /etc/bash.bashrc the settings file of the logon bash? | 14:50 |
| koala_man | Jeremy23: I sure don't. | 14:50 |
| LyX-Student | Jeremy23: you can read right? did you look at the right bottom corner? | 14:50 |
| LjL | atlef: well, please do try with an even larger file, but still using cp. actually, use « time cp filename /media/whatever ; time sudo sync » (/media/whatever being your drive's mount point!) | 14:50 |
| Jeremy23 | LyX-Student: that's the GTK theme, not the metacity theme | 14:51 |
| atlef | LjL: was about to | 14:51 |
| Jeremy23 | the metacity theme used to ship with Ubuntu | 14:51 |
| Jeremy23 | and I used to use it | 14:51 |
| Jeremy23 | but I can't remember it's name | 14:51 |
| Jeremy23 | *its | 14:51 |
| erUSUL | Guest33790: no .profile is .bashrc is read for every bash executed... anyway one source the other or viceversa so the difference is somewhat moot | 14:51 |

| linduxed | hey guys, i was thinking of gettig a high-end laptop, and i was wondering if its still the same old "go with NVidia" or if ATI has shaped up. | 14:53 |
| grey488 | erUSUL: is there a release of ubuntu 8.04 server that have a smp kernel? | 14:53 |
| Xenocide | koala_man: You can do it all using iwconfig like you can with ifconfig for eth connections? | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | Xenocide: iwconfig and iwlist for doing it from command line... interfaces file for soing it semi automated (man interfaces) | 14:54 |
| atlef | LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51653/ this is a 350mb file. still looks good | 14:54 |
| Xenocide | Awesome, thanks guys. :) | 14:54 |
| koala_man | linduxed: ATI released specs and there are some preliminary free drivers for it | 14:54 |
| Jack_J | hello. | 14:54 |
| sharav | n e one? | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | !generic | grey488 all kernels of ubuntu are smp capable | 14:54 |
| ubottu | grey488 all kernels of ubuntu are smp capable: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 14:54 |
| koala_man | Xenocide: no, you still use ifconfig or dhclient, but the essid&wep is all iwconfig | 14:54 |
| LjL | atlef: yes, it's pretty consistent with the estimate of 18 mb/s of before... i don't know what to think, it'd seem strange to me that it's just when copying from GNOME that things freeze up, but it would seem it's that way... | 14:55 |
| Jack_J | on a VM in sun xvm virtualbox assigned 100mB ram it is installing slow - alternate installer used | 14:55 |
| LjL | atlef: or, possibly, there is indeed some sector on the flash drive that's broken, and when you hit that sector while writing, the I/O system retries a number of times | 14:55 |
| Xenocide | cheers koala_man! | 14:56 |
| LjL | atlef: you could "dd" the entire drive, from a linux terminal maybe (so you should see I/O errors directly), and see if that's the case... perhaps | 14:56 |
| cdavis | I somehow broke mail so that I can't even get it to deliver locally to myself? I uninstalled postfix and don't know where to look now. Where is the mail going? | 14:56 |

| francesco_ | Hello, guys. I have a problem. I have to buy a WLAN router. I've read that Linux/Ubuntu is compatible with EVERY kind of router. Is it true? Can I buy any WLAN router? Even a "cheap" router? Thank you. | 15:55 |
| beastax | hiya, ive just done a fresh install of ubuntu, using the guided partioner to use the whole of a drive. i have windows installed on a seperate drive. The install completes and reboots, but then I am presented with a screen simply saying "GRUB". What is wrong please? | 15:55 |
| ramontayag | francesco_: yeah you needn't worry about your wlan. those are pretty much standard. | 15:56 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: Yup, you don't have to wrry | 15:56 |
| Skrux | hi | 15:56 |
| ramontayag | beastax: can you choose windows or ubuntu? | 15:56 |
| francesco_ | So EVERY kind of router works on Linux, right? Ok. | 15:56 |
| beastax | ramontayag: no, i dont get grub itself, literally just a black screen with the word "GRUB" on it in white writing | 15:57 |
| Skrux | my new router does not redirect the port 80 to my apache | 15:57 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: Yeah, the router doesn't even interact with the OS | 15:57 |
| ramontayag | francesco_: well i haven't tested every router myself but it's usually not the router, but the drivers that ubuntu has (or doesn't have) that don't allow it to use your Wifi card right | 15:57 |
| francesco_ | ramontayag: Tell me about those drivers, please. | 15:58 |
| grey488 | milligan_: could you pastebin your httpd.conf | 15:58 |

I think it is fair to say that currently in Hardy, you may have to some work (again, I never had to do this) to get wireless, but in Intreprid (the next version of Ubuntu), it should be automatic | 16:03 |

| ramontayag | beast well you can edit your grub using those instructions anyway | 16:05 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: yeah, I understand - I'm just saying when picking one, you may want to find what wireelss is in the laptop and see if it will work out of the box | 16:06 |
| dreamnid | kebomix: Didn't I answer your question about the host key, or did you have another question? | 16:06 |
| beastax | kebomix: sorry im not sure i follow you? | 16:06 |

| dreamnid | kebomix: I don't follow your last question | 16:11 |
| dreamnid | kebomix: And again, in the lower right corner, it will say what button that the Host button is | 16:12 |
| csilk | remaining battery time detection in hardy heron is borked | 16:12 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: So, the router itself doesn't matter, because Linux is compatible with every kind of routers, right? It's the wi-fi card that is not standard, so I could have to install some extra drivers depending on the kind of chipset. Did I get it? | 16:12 |
| error | eny1 can help me with alsamixer or alsa sound - or noise instead of music ??? plz | 16:12 |

| csilk | if not then that's why | 16:14 |

| dreamnid | francesco_: umm... no. Just to clarify, your modem would be connected to the router which is then connected to your computers. Both computers would access the internet transparently | 16:15 |
| grey488 | francesco_: it will depend on your router not on ubuntu.. | 16:15 |
| csilk | csilk, your ip address is banned on the dalnet server | 16:15 |
| csilk | baron, ^ | 16:15 |
| baron | csilk: can help how to fix it? | 16:16 |
| csilk | baron, the only way to fix that is by changing your ip address.. restarting your router usually does that (assuming ADSL) | 16:16 |
| error | eny1 can help me with alsamixer or alsa sound - or noise instead of music ??? plx | 16:16 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: I'm not an expert, and I'm a little anxious about that. The router includes the modem functionality, right? | 16:16 |
| speener | hey do u guys know of any extension of add-on for firefox that allows you to download the audio files from last.fm, myspace, etc??? | 16:17 |

| csilk | barnie, i dont know, it depends on your ISP | 16:18 |

| csilk | all you can do is trun it off. wait one minute, then turn it on | 16:18 |
| csilk | dreamedge, rare??? | 16:19 |

| htang | sudo mount smb:/192.168.1.100/TangHui的备份 /mnt/win -o username=user,password=123,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777 | 16:20 |
| htang | above can't work property. | 16:21 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: That changes everything! I think the best solution is to buy a router that includes a modem. I didn't know that there were routers that weren't modems. | 16:21 |
| KenBW | where are the gusty repos? | 16:21 |
| reformer81 | htang: you just gave everyone your ip name and password | 16:21 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : I guess it depends on where you live :) | 16:21 |
| joanki123 | csilk, can you check multiple emails through evolution? | 16:21 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: Where do you live? :-) | 16:21 |
| csilk | francesco_, yeah, every router i've seen in the last 8 years has been a router and modem in one | 16:21 |
| frankie_ | erUSUL: thing is, i am not sure that the router is giving dhcp on the ethernet at all. | 16:21 |
| fx3 | reformer81, dont be silly | 16:22 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : I'm in NY, USA | 16:22 |
| csilk | joanki123, what do you mean by "check multiple emails" | 16:22 |
| csilk | ? | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | frankie_: ok | 16:22 |
| htang | sorry...I am... | 16:22 |
| csilk | you mean multiple accounts? | 16:22 |
| fx3 | htang, what kind of error message do you get? | 16:22 |
| joanki123 | multiple email accounts going into my evolution | 16:22 |
| csilk | joanki123, yes it can do that | 16:22 |
| joanki123 | thanks | 16:22 |
| defrysk | joanki123, yes | 16:22 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: and yeah, I would say 98% of consumer routers do not have the modems | 16:22 |
| KenBW | what's the FTP/HTTP URL for the gutsy repositories? | 16:22 |
| csilk | joanki123, evolution is default installed on ubuntu | 16:23 |
| francesco_ | csilk is saying the opposite, dreamnid. | 16:23 |
| htang | it got the below error message: | 16:23 |

| vikku | Hi all | 16:23 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: Well, again, he's in the UK | 16:23 |
| csilk | francesco_, i'd say 98% do have modems built in | 16:23 |
| vikku | I need to get confdef.h header file in include dir, how can i get it | 16:23 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : You can check newegg.com :) | 16:23 |

| francesco_ | csilk, dreamnid, I live in Italy. What kind of thing should I expect if I box with "router" written on it? :-) | 16:24 |
| |zeal| | hi, morning | 16:24 |
| csilk | dreamedge, all the routers on newegg.com have built in modems -_- | 16:24 |

| francesco_ | "...if I buy..." | 16:24 |
| baron | its still my old ip address, why did not change even i have turn off? can i use static ip, how? | 16:24 |
| |zeal| | I hear that ubuntu 8.10 can crash some net cards, it that true ? anyone knows ? | 16:24 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: Well easy way to check is if there is a coax input on the router | 16:25 |
| csilk | |zeal|, any operating system can do that, its more of a driver issue | 16:25 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: a phone wire? | 16:25 |
| erUSUL | |zeal|: is a kernel bug on the alphas. discuss in #ubuntu+1 | 16:25 |
| dreamnid | |zeal| you might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 but there is an issue with the e1000e driver | 16:25 |
| csilk | francesco_, look for a adsl router or dsl router thats what you want (assuming you dont use cable) | 16:25 |
| |zeal| | csilk: I see :) | 16:25 |
| dreamnid | dreamnid: umm... well do you use cable or DSL? | 16:25 |
| csilk | dreamedge, did you follow that link i pasted? | 16:25 |
| fx3 | htang, well the first two errors are self explanatory, is the host address correct? can you ping it? does the strange chars in username cause issue | 16:25 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: Do you use cable or dsl? | 16:26 |
| cdan | hi | 16:26 |
| dreamnid | csilk: no, one sec | 16:26 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid, csilk: it seems complicated. | 16:26 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: I use ADSL. | 16:26 |
| |zeal| | dreamnid: Ok, I see, thanks ! | 16:26 |
| csilk | francesco_, not really, you need an ADSL router | 16:26 |
| |MUSE| | I have these files that are supposed to be a short vid, but they seem to have been separated in someway. They are vid.avi.001, vid.avi.002, vid.avi.003...etc. How do I joint them together? I can view the first file, but the rest are just broken audio, no video. | 16:26 |
| fx3 | htang, you could aslo try sudo apt-get install smbfs, and do smbmount | 16:26 |
| Nutzebahn | Hello. | 16:26 |
| dreamnid | csilk: umm, that's only 10 routers... most are not meant for home users | 16:26 |
| jrib | |MUSE|: cat | 16:26 |
| perhamlinux | ikonia, defrysk, are you here? I'm the guy with erased stuff. I could fix most of the problem with a tool coming with ubuntu named PhotoRec. it comes in TestDisk's package. that's a handy thing. see ya later. | 16:26 |
| francesco_ | csilk, dreamnid: So I have to buy something with "ADSL router" written on it. Right? | 16:27 |
| cdan | can anybody tell me how can I set the Nautilus to always use "view as list" instead of "view as Icons" ? | 16:27 |
| csilk | francesco_, yes | 16:27 |
| fx3 | htang, smbmount "//host/share" -U user -c 'mount /mnt/win -u 500 -g 100' | 16:27 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : If you have ADSL, then yeah | 16:27 |
| csilk | dreamnid, pretty sure they are meant for home users | 16:27 |
| vallhalla81 | ls | 16:27 |
| csilk | or else the USA is 10 years behind in technology | 16:27 |
| fx3 | htang, try this: | 16:28 |

| |MUSE| | jrib: cat? Is that in SPM, does it come standard with ubuntu? | 16:28 |
| dreamnid | csilk: 4/10 are under $100 | 16:28 |
| cdan | thx, I must have been blind :) | 16:28 |
| cdan | I have looked there 3 times | 16:28 |

| fx3 | htang, ^^^ | 16:28 |
| defrysk | cdan, edit> pref> views tab in nautilus | 16:28 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid, csilk: So I should do researches. | 16:29 |
| htang | the IP is correct, I can sure. but if is the strange chars cause the problem , i don't know. well, I will try the follow. | 16:29 |
| jrib | |MUSE|: it's a standard program. You would do something like (read the man page first and feel free to ask me if you are still unsure): cat foo.avi.* > foo.avi | 16:29 |
| dreamnid | csilk: Nah, I'm sure it is because here, the modems are provided by the ISP | 16:29 |
| |MUSE| | jrib: ok thanks | 16:29 |
| csilk | dreamnid, here, the router/modem is provided by the isp | 16:29 |
| fx3 | htang, if the chars are causing the problem you need to create a credentials file, read up on google its all there | 16:29 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : Umm... again, if you have ADSL, then you can buy a ADSL router | 16:29 |
| perhamlinux | defrysk, hi | 16:29 |
| dreamnid | csilk: It's possible they do the same thing here: i'm just saying most consumer routers that you can buy at a store isn't combined | 16:30 |
| === warren_ is now known as htrejh | ||
| dreamnid | csilk: but whatever, it's not that important | 16:30 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: I have to buy a WLAN ADSL router. Right? | 16:30 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: Yeah... although any reason why you want it combined? | 16:30 |
| francesco_ | Combined? modem and router? | 16:31 |
| csilk | dreamnid, yeah.. not important, i find it strange though | 16:31 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : right | 16:31 |
| ja1 | Hi! I get multiple users of the same name (my login name) when running 'users'. Is that normal? Have not seen it before. I have a totaly fresh install of ubuntu 8.04. | 16:31 |
| francesco_ | Because, that way I have just a device on my desktop, dreamnid. Is that a good reason? :-) | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | ja1: yes is normal | 16:32 |
| dreamnid | jal: It's normal, it can happen if you open many terminals. "w" or "who" might be better showing this | 16:32 |
| xjonex | jal, i think it is quite normal, i got three instances of me... ;) | 16:32 |

| ja1 | dreamnid: That explained a lot. | 16:33 |

| htang | fx3:I will change the file name , and then have a try. | 16:33 |

| joanki123 | thanks | 16:34 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: I'm reading Wikipedia right now, and actually it says that the router, technically, is just a "server", not a modem. | 16:34 |
| |MUSE| | jrib: It joined them all, but there is only sound. It seems to have lost all the video in the process. Perhaps the file was separated in a different way. Have any suggestions? | 16:34 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : Which article are you reading? | 16:34 |
| csilk | francesco_, depends on what "router" you have | 16:34 |
| RoflCoptr | a | 16:34 |
| jrib | |MUSE|: nope. You have to get information from where you obtained the files then | 16:35 |
| beastax | guys no joy with my grub im afraid | 16:35 |

| magnetron | perhamlinux, i see a brown non-clickable square, the same color as in the gdm chooser | 16:36 |
| dreamnid | francesco_ : Yeah, the problem is that a "consumer" router is a router + switch in one. Then there are those with a router + switch + modem in one box | 16:36 |
| perhamlinux | it may have some output in dmesg, digitalvectorz | 16:36 |

| francesco_ | dreamnid: I think that, anyway, if I buy a "cheap" WLAN router that isn't a modem it won't be a problem, because I already have an ethernet modem. Could there be problems with Ubuntu that way? | 16:38 |
| Sprossel | can anyone help me? | 16:38 |
| perhamlinux | magnetron, when you've got the bad screen, press CTRL-ALT-Backspace see if anything happens | 16:38 |

| kk_ubuntu | the recording keeps on skipping | 16:42 |

| dreamnid | francesco: If you wanted to access files (and I think you said one was windows), you can use Samba | 16:47 |
| sha16 | LjL: no, its not overheating, no sound of CPU overloading.. | 16:47 |
| LjL | Vladimir[LV]: like you'd do with files, "man ln" | 16:47 |
| heikowang | hey | 16:47 |

| K_Dallas | Hi guys! Why would a desktop not boot from the official CDs of ubuntu and edubuntu? BIOS is ok, I have booted from Debian DVD but now it doesnt boot from the Ubuntu CDs! Thanks | 16:49 |
| beastax | would doing sudo grub-install /dev/sdc1 be right? | 16:49 |
| strange | and how do i change the picture it shows right after logging in there is a nvidia logo there now for like 30 seconds | 16:49 |
| dreamnid | K_Dallas: what went wrong? | 16:49 |
| LjL | sha16: you don't have to ask me to check your log files. they're in /var/log, and you can use "dmesg" also. still, the *only* reason i can think of is overheating... or bad RAM | 16:49 |
| francesco_ | dreamnid: Thank you. I think it's enough for now. :-) Thank you for everything and see you later. | 16:50 |
| K_Dallas | dreamnid, it says booting from CD, waits a long time and then boots from HD | 16:50 |
| dreamnid | francesco_: No prob :) | 16:50 |
| dreamnid | K_Dallas: Weird - maybe the cd is damaged? | 16:50 |
| jim_p | strange: you can swich the nvidia logo off with some option in xorg.conf .As for the gdm (the login screen ) look for a theme in gnome-look.org | 16:50 |
| LjL | dreamnid, (Blaziken): "visudo" is not a command to start "vi" with "sudo". it's a command to edit the sudoers file. | 16:50 |

| SchmittyDoesIt | Anyone know of a good html editor for ubuntu? something more advanced than Kompozer or bluefish | 16:52 |
| * K_Dallas rebooting | 16:52 | |
| antazy | SchmittyDoesIt: gedit | 16:52 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | antazy: not really advanced enouph for me | 16:52 |
| Andre1 | hi | 16:52 |
| antazy | SchmittyDoesIt: np, use eclipse | 16:53 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | im looking for something that rivals dreamweaver | 16:53 |
| csilk | SchmittyDoesIt, what features you looking for when you say "more advanced"? | 16:53 |
| LjL | dreamnid: for starters, visudo makes sure the syntax is right before saving the file, so you don't mess up sudoers resulting in a trip into recovery mode | 16:53 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | csilk: forms, php, coldfusion | 16:53 |
| csilk | SchmittyDoesIt, there isnt a single product that does that | 16:54 |
| csilk | dreamwaever is crap anyway | 16:54 |
| antazy | how run program with another language, not system? | 16:54 |
| csilk | it really falls short in so many ways | 16:54 |
| dreamnid | LjL: Alright - thx | 16:54 |
| ubuntoRoxx | what are Dapper and Edgy users? | 16:54 |
| RB2 | I think I need to do a re-install. Multiple applications are acting wacky. :-/ | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | I heard that Bluefish is good. | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | and Quanta. | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | Try those. | 16:55 |
| RoflCoptr | i use quanta | 16:55 |
| csilk | SchmittyDoesIt, you dont see mych coldfusion dev done in linux (or anywhere now for taht matter) as for php eclipse ahs a good php plugin and netbeans 6.5 has good php dev support | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | ?join #automechanics | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | oops | 16:55 |
| RoflCoptr | but bluefish rocks, too, one of the devs is sitting in my office ;) | 16:55 |
| csilk | but as for HTML.. you'll need to write that by hand | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | Stupid keyboard. | 16:55 |
| csilk | dreamwaever makes really bad html anyway | 16:55 |
| Nutzebahn | and it is expensive. | 16:56 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | csilk: which do you prefer netbeans or eclipse? and are these heads and tails above Kompozer? | 16:56 |
| csilk | SchmittyDoesIt, i use both | 16:56 |
| csilk | unfortunatly i have too | 16:56 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | csilk: ic | 16:56 |
| csilk | if using KDE you could try quanta | 16:57 |
| dreamnid | hmm, csilk: Do you use PDT in Eclipse? | 16:57 |
| csilk | but for html, you wanna be writing that by hand really | 16:57 |
| csilk | dreamnid, i couldnt get pdt to work so i'm using phpeclipse | 16:57 |
| csilk | i cant take eclipse seriously until it sorts out stability | 16:58 |
| dreamnid | csilk, hahaha yeah - I spent hours trying to get it to work in Eclipse 3.4 and still not really working - Crashes all the time | 16:58 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | csilk: eclipse doesn't offer WYSIWYG | 16:58 |
| csilk | sounds like good old eclipse ;) | 16:58 |
| csilk | SchmittyDoesIt, of course not | 16:58 |
| csilk | you shouldnt use that anyway | 16:58 |
| csilk | as it never produces decent html | 16:58 |
| dreamnid | csilk, I'm assuming phpecipse is still a plugin for eclipse though | 16:59 |
| csilk | yes | 16:59 |
| csilk | not had any problems with it | 16:59 |
| dreamnid | alrighty, I'll def. check it out | 16:59 |

| csilk | **cloud computing | 17:05 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | csilk: it's linux.... they finally conceited | 17:05 |
| csilk | TuxOtaku, a better suggestion would be eclipse with the php plugin | 17:06 |
| csilk | opr netbaens | 17:06 |
| csilk | *netbeans | 17:06 |
| N1ckR | IMHO eclipse is better than netbeans ATM for php dev | 17:06 |
| kalkan | hello all, | 17:06 |
| csilk | N1ckR, i'd aggree to a certain extent, i'm using the beta version of the new eclipse, it has excellent php support | 17:07 |
| csilk | **new netbeans | 17:07 |
| N1ckR | csilk - 6.5 is interesting | 17:07 |
| csilk | yeah | 17:07 |
| martijn81 | how do enable raid1 on my ubuntu system? i already had i configured once, but i do not have any read access on it currently | 17:07 |
| csilk | it seems a little slow when you have alot of plugins though, i guess thats something they will fix before release (i hope) | 17:08 |
| N1ckR | Its not upto standard of eclispse pdt, but in a years time could be there | 17:08 |
| kalkan | could anybody help, how to get rw privilege on FAT32 data partition as normal user (not root)? | 17:08 |
| csilk | pdt lol | 17:08 |
| csilk | i coudlnt even get that to work | 17:08 |
| csilk | typical unstable eclipse | 17:08 |
| csilk | it kept telling me there were dependencies which you cant meet | 17:08 |
| csilk | so i'm using phpeclipse plugin instead | 17:09 |
| N1ckR | did you install from repository ? | 17:09 |
| csilk | yes | 17:09 |
| csilk | no | 17:09 |
| csilk | erm.. what the plugin or the ide? | 17:09 |
| csilk | the latest IDE isnt avail;able in the repo | 17:09 |
| N1ckR | I downloaded and it direct from eclipse.org and installed into /opt | 17:09 |
| csilk | yes thats what i did | 17:10 |
| N1ckR | by it, I mean eclipse + pdt all in onr | 17:10 |
| csilk | no not all in one | 17:10 |
| N1ckR | onr = one even | 17:10 |
| csilk | i tried to add pdt as a plugin | 17:10 |
| TuxOtaku | so does anyone have an idea as to how I could tweak the video settings for miro? | 17:10 |
| martijn81 | can anyone help me? | 17:10 |
| N1ckR | never tried to add as a plugin | 17:10 |
| csilk | N1ckR, can you download eclipse with java and php together? | 17:11 |
| sovietw0rm | ls | 17:11 |
| csilk | *pdt | 17:11 |
| sovietw0rm | j #pfiev | 17:11 |
| Makro1 | hello | 17:11 |
| tenlet | I loaded the ubuntu CD and i chose install.. it goes back and forth with the progress bar for a bit then goes blank with the cursor blinking at the top left.. did this all night.. no idea what is wrong | 17:11 |
| sovietw0rm | -j #pfiev | 17:11 |
| N1ckR | csilk, not the jre, but eclipse + pdt | 17:11 |
| tryggvib | How can I list all installed packages? | 17:12 |
| csilk | n1c0las, yeah but then i'd have to add java support via a plugin, which (knowing eclipse) will probably fail and i need eclipse for java more than php | 17:12 |
| Makro1 | i do an update on friday (using hardy) and now i can't use my external usb drive, i got an input/output error every time that i try to do something on it | 17:12 |
| dreamnid | n1ckR: hmm, I tried the all-in-one and got a eclipse start up error | 17:12 |
| N1ckR | works for me in debian testing, not tried it in ubuntu | 17:13 |
| csilk | dreamnid, i feel your pain | 17:13 |
| csilk | eclipse has issues with the latest jre | 17:13 |
| tenlet | anyone have that problem installing? | 17:13 |
| csilk | tenlet, try text based install | 17:13 |
| tenlet | ? | 17:13 |
| tenlet | hold on rebooting, but i think it goes right into the install now | 17:13 |
| tenlet | ok | 17:14 |
| Makro1 | i find this command on the net "dmesg | grep -i -E drdy\|error\|seek" and his output is this "[ 19.527702] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found." | 17:14 |
| tenlet | csilk: im at the main screen | 17:14 |
| dreamnid | I got eclipse+pdt working in 2 states by installing various version of PDT / DLTK : 1) Could not save PHP files 2) Crashes when loading php files | 17:14 |
| dreamnid | N1ckR: Out of curiosity, what version of Eclipse/ PDT / DLTK is in the all-in-one? | 17:14 |
| csilk | tenlet, when you download ubuntu, there is a check box on the website asking if yo like to download the text based installed | 17:14 |
| N1ckR | I followed the instructions from: http://eclipse.dzone.com/articles/how-run-eclipse-33-ubuntu-710 | 17:15 |
| csilk | i dont know if you can do text based from the cd you have | 17:15 |
| csilk | you'll have to look at the menu options | 17:15 |
| tenlet | alright thanks | 17:15 |
| legend2440 | tryggvib: in terminal dpkg --get-selections | 17:15 |
| LjL | Makro1: well that *might* mean the drive got damaged, doesn't necessarily have to be related to the update (i hope for you it is, but) | 17:15 |
| tryggvib | legend2440, thank you very much | 17:15 |
| Makro1 | the drive is an ntfs and is mounted and unmounted without trouble but i can't write anyhting on it | 17:15 |
| N1ckR | but I got the download from: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/ | 17:15 |
| LjL | Makro1: can you check if the same happens when from an unupdated live cd, for instance? | 17:16 |
| N1ckR | On this page is the all-in-one download : http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/release.php?release=R20080603 | 17:16 |
| N1ckR | thats the version I have running in debian no problem> | 17:16 |
| Makro1 | LjL: well i was using the drive until just before the update so i think the possibility of some damage on it is pretty hard, but anywa i will try to read from a live cd right now | 17:17 |
| dreamnid | Blaziken: Check out http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/edit-etcsudoers-with-gedit-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/ ... not sure if that will help | 17:17 |

| dreamnid | Kingsy101: mm... it isn't that hard - what problems were you running into last time? | 17:30 |
| CRASH69 | legend2440: they were at some point | 17:30 |
| dreamnid | X-Seti: yeah, good luck :) | 17:30 |
| X-Seti | i have a nice desktop system thats been running well upto today | 17:30 |
| Makro1 | LjL: well i got an input/output error from a live cd but i can write and delete files anyway on the drive | 17:30 |
| ubuntoRoxx | csilk: I went to system->preference->appearance and selected "Extra" earlier today | 17:30 |
| Kingsy101 | dreamnid - well I ended up installing a third part version and it didnt go that well, then I tried to use tasksel and get some errors | 17:31 |
| ubuntoRoxx | csilk: And at that point new graphiccard drivers were downloaded | 17:31 |
| csilk | oh rite | 17:31 |
| csilk | did the "extra" wor then? | 17:31 |
| csilk | *work | 17:31 |
| LjL | Makro1: well, that's not a good thing at all at any rate. install "smartmontools", and use "smartctl -H /dev/whatever" and "smartctl -A /dev/whatever" to see what the drive thinks its health is like (assuming an external drive works with SMART...) | 17:31 |
| legend2440 | CRASH69: in terminal fglrxinfo does it say ati or mesa? | 17:31 |
| martijn81 | how do enable raid1 on my ubuntu system? i already had i configured once, but i do not have any read access on it currently, what todo? | 17:31 |
| LjL | Makro1: and, backup what's on it, anyway. | 17:31 |
| Makro1 | LjL: okay, searching and installing | 17:31 |
| Kingsy101 | so you can do it by simply typing.... sudo tasksel install lamp-server ? right? | 17:32 |
| dreamnid | Kingsy101: Hmm... was that from these docs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ? | 17:32 |
| Kingsy101 | yea | 17:32 |
| LjL | Makro1: i have to be out now, though, someone else can probably help you to interpret the smartctl -A output | 17:32 |
| marshcast | dreamnid - thanks... lots of logs in /var/logs - -- if i mv these out will I be ok? | 17:32 |
| Makro1 | LjL: okay | 17:33 |
| dreamnid | marshcast: I would just tar+gz them up in case you need them | 17:33 |
| marshcast | thanks dreamnid | 17:33 |
| dreamnid | Kingsy101: I never knew about the tasksel - seems pretty cool. I did mine manually | 17:33 |
| Kingsy101 | hmmm what would you advise? | 17:33 |
| CRASH69 | legend2440: we just reinstalled OS (yes yes, we suck), so right now is a fresh install, no drivers | 17:33 |
| atomic_ | I have several partitions on my drives. I decided to put all my music on a partition so no matter what distro I boot into I can have that the same. I noticed a problem with Rythymbox on this ubuntu. It doesn't see it because each time it might be disk or disk1 or whatever. | 17:34 |
| X-Seti | its back, thanks mate | 17:34 |
| dreamnid | Kingsy101: I think I installed apache2, mysql5-server, mysql5-client, php5 | 17:34 |
| atomic_ | Is there a way to fix it so that drive is mounted all the time? | 17:34 |
| Kingsy101 | I just don't wanna type anything until I know I am not going to destroy anything.. heh i want the installation to run smoothly if possible | 17:34 |
| atomic_ | On boot I mean. | 17:34 |
| legend2440 | CRASH69: can you enable them in system>admin>hardware drivers? | 17:34 |
| CRASH69 | yes, give a min legend2440 | 17:34 |
| perlmonkey | hi everyone | 17:35 |
| dreamnid | Kingsy101: I installed mine last week. | 17:35 |
| Kingsy101 | has anyone in here used tasksel for lampp and can say it works? | 17:35 |
| Kingsy101 | ah right.. | 17:35 |
| perlmonkey | whats the difference between 8.04 LTS and 7.10, is the former a server orientated version? | 17:35 |
| Kingsy101 | well if you could take me through it perhaps? I am pretty new to this is all | 17:35 |
| ikonia | perlmonkey: they are later releases of the same product | 17:35 |
| === blackbutterfly is now known as MartyMcFly | ||
| dreamnid | Kingsy101: I'm assuming tasksel also install those packages for you.. so if something goes wrong, you can remove the packages | 17:35 |
| perlmonkey | ikonia thanks for clarifying | 17:35 |
| ikonia | perlmonkey: one has long term support (5 years) the other will end of life after 18 months (7.10) | 17:35 |
| Kingsy101 | oh ok | 17:35 |
| Kingsy101 | I will give that a go then... | 17:36 |
| dreamnid | Kingsy101: I would try it again and post here if something goes wrong .. | 17:36 |
| Kingsy101 | ok... no bother.. thx | 17:36 |

| glades20 | Hey guys, I just have a quick question. Is there any documentation included with Ubuntu about terminal commands and how to use them? I am such a noob at Linux that I'm a little embarressed to even ask. | 17:37 |
| usser | !bash | glades20 | 17:38 |
| ubottu | glades20: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 17:38 |
| csilk | glades20, not really.. although anything you need to do in ubuntu is pretty much well documented in the wiki | 17:38 |
| jim_p | glades20: there is something like a cheatsheet for mot cli commands | 17:38 |
| Nextwave | quick question.. do the creative soundblaster live work with ubuntu? | 17:38 |
| TuxOtaku | glades20, man pages and --help are your friends | 17:38 |
| TuxOtaku | :) | 17:38 |
| krabador | hardy will upgrade to gnome 2.24? | 17:38 |
| krabador | (i know intrepid will be with it...) | 17:39 |
| glades20 | the man pages can be difficult at best to navigate | 17:39 |
| marshcast | dreamnid: think I screwed up. have removed the var directory contents :/ -- but once it was done there was still no space on the device, so I cant copy it back! | 17:39 |
| taknikin | im having a hard time getting compiz fusion | 17:40 |
| dreamnid | umm | 17:40 |
| dreamnid | marshcast: wait, you removed /var ? | 17:40 |
| taknikin | anyone have any experience with it? | 17:40 |
| marshcast | dreamnid - do you know why the space on the device didn't change when it was all moved out? | 17:40 |
| jim_p | Nextwave: depends which one you have. have a look at alsa's site | 17:40 |
| glades20 | thanx, Ubottu, I'll try that | 17:40 |
| Nextwave | thanks again jim_p | 17:40 |
| jim_p | :) | 17:41 |
| Kingsy101 | hmmm this does look good, I tried tasksel and tried to install lampp and it is just sitting on 0% saying please wait... | 17:41 |
| Makro1 | any command for to know what's the dev/something of a drive? | 17:41 |
| dreamnid | marshcast: hmm, where did you move it to? On a different partition? | 17:41 |
| M0sh_pit | can I ask about Squid bro?? | 17:41 |
| marshcast | dreamnid: yes -- wel not the dir - but the contents (thought I was in /var/log) -- copied it all to my home dir (on a separate partition) | 17:41 |
| dreamnid | marshcast: how did you move the files? | 17:41 |
| marshcast | dreamnid - hd already issued command when you said to tar it | 17:42 |
| M0sh_pit | can I ask about Squid bro? what different with Shorewall/???? | 17:42 |
| marshcast | dreamnid 'mv * /home/amor/logs | 17:42 |
| dreamnid | you may have to restart the applications that the log files were causing trouble | 17:42 |
| xomp | seems ubuntu cannot play .wma files, do I need a specific codec or something to make them work? | 17:43 |

| Makro1 | okay | 17:43 |

| dreamnid | Kingsy101: Personally, I would add a htdocs folder and edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default and adjust the path accordingly. That way, htdocs only contains files that the public can see, and you can have other folder to contain settings (such as db password) | 18:25 |

| node357 | Anscombe, you can run Steam on Ubuntu with wine | 19:48 |
| DKcross | radovich: yes u can | 19:48 |

| Anscombe | I heard wine lowers performance... | 19:48 |
| radovich | ;P | 19:48 |
| DKcross | i think.. | 19:49 |
| xibalba | that will surely kill performance | 19:49 |
| xibalba | anyone here go to SDLUG? | 19:49 |

| RawSushi | question...how on earth do you run nautilus as root? | 19:50 |
| RawSushi | I tried and tried. | 19:50 |
| node357 | RawSushi, gksudo nautilus | 19:50 |
| RenatoSilva | how to sue espeak? | 19:50 |
| RawSushi | okay...it says: | 19:50 |
| amanulla | radovich: iwill make 20 gb free space create a partion of type:ext3 logical 1 GB to swap | 19:50 |
| radovich | open a conlose and run sudo nautilus | 19:50 |
| RenatoSilva | how to use espeak? | 19:51 |
| RenatoSilva | PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_WRONLY | 19:51 |
| RenatoSilva | PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000 | 19:51 |
| radovich | amanulla: ext3 for / and 1gig for swap. that is OK. | 19:51 |
| RawSushi | Initializing nautilus-share extension | 19:51 |
| RawSushi | then it goes back to prompt | 19:51 |
| RawSushi | and nautilus does not appear. | 19:51 |
| node357 | RawSushi, no idea then... | 19:51 |
| azntom08 | can anyone help me use terminal to find a directory | 19:51 |
| amanulla | radovich:ok thank u | 19:51 |
| lch | how can I see which files have been installed by a package? | 19:51 |
| node357 | maybe it's a bug | 19:51 |
| radovich | amanulla: ho problemo :) | 19:51 |
| csilk | azntom08, what dir you looking for? | 19:52 |
| RawSushi | damn, how else am I going to share my folders then | 19:52 |
| radovich | nautilus runs good as a sudo for me | 19:52 |
| RenatoSilva | lch: synaptic > find the package > properties | 19:52 |
| radovich | rey a commander like program : krusader or gnome-commander | 19:52 |
| azntom08 | i extracted my flash player folder onto my desktop | 19:52 |
| lch | thanks | 19:52 |
| azntom08 | i need to find the dir and config it | 19:52 |
| azntom08 | but i dont know how | 19:52 |
| csilk | its on your desktop.... | 19:52 |
| csilk | you just said | 19:52 |
| amanulla | radovich:then i think i need to click check box besides "/ and forward" | 19:52 |
| amanulla | radovich:is im correct? | 19:52 |
| azntom08 | so how do i type it into terminal | 19:53 |
| wam | unstable: I'm not sure - exim does support radius, however the docs say that you'd have to tell it when compiling it. Now I'm wondering if it is working out-of-the-box in ubuntu or not. | 19:53 |
| csilk | terminal cd Desktop/nameOfFlashFolder | 19:53 |
| wam | unstable: so I think, #exim won't help much. | 19:53 |
| azntom08 | okay ill try it now | 19:53 |
| csilk | hitting tab will do an autocomplete of long directory names | 19:53 |
| radovich | amanulla: right. that will format that partition and continue the install. be careful! it WILL format that part of disk. the rest will be ok if you do not touch it | 19:53 |
| csilk | if you need | 19:53 |
| amanulla | radovich:ok | 19:54 |
| wam | So again, does the exim package support radius? Or will I have to compile it myself? | 19:54 |
| w00w | sorry newbe where i can reach some server to download ? | 19:54 |

| Melwasul | hello, i just installed ubuntu, and finally got my net up, is there anything anyone would suggest me doing. (Setting this up for someone who is used to using windows) | 20:39 |
| unop | almostautomated, it's probably the bindhost on ubuntu - probably tries to resolve the domain name first, then ask the DNS server about the host in the domain - i'm not sure on this tho | 20:39 |
| pihhan | TJ13820: it does mean it tried delete something, but it was not there | 20:39 |

| balrog_ | amanulla: if you follow the guide and get stuck, please ask questions, but asking the same question multiple times is going to net you the same result. | 21:07 |

| bobertdos | bjsterilite: Yep, I heard the first time, been distracted, sorry. Umm, when you do sudo mount in the terminal, does it show any flash drives? | 21:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: If the server's both have static IP configurations then the names would be set in the router's resolver, depending on what it uses possibly /etc/hosts or dnsmasq, etc. | 21:08 |

| jrib | Nuro: why not just blacklist it? | 21:08 |
| bobertdos | airtonix: That is odd, because I use Gmail with Evolution on my laptop and it's just fine. | 21:08 |
| TJ13820 | IntuitiveNipple: this is a cisco router. it views the hostmask sent by the machine | 21:08 |
| Moderndayzero | <Nuro> you have to write a script | 21:08 |

| beastax | hiya, im on the lookout for a new audio player, and thinking back to the days of yore when i used winamp, i really liked the function to manage queue (so you would queue up items in the playlist then be able to jump to a list of the queued songs and juggle / delete them). Does anyone know of an audio player for linux that will allow me to do this please? | 21:11 |
| balrog_ | amanulla: just go to the ubuntu.com website again and start the download again. | 21:11 |

| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: there is no 'sent by the machine' for DNS resolution *unless* using dynamic DNS update. In any event, put Wireshark on the segment and observe the interchange when the server NICs come up, to see what is different between the two. | 21:12 |

| amanulla | cant i pause and resume back my down load in ubuntu? | 21:13 |
| bobertdos | airtonix: I don't know if Google or Ubuntu is to blame for that. I'm willing to agree that (especially for the second LTS release) Hardy has not been the community's best work. | 21:13 |
| balrog_ | if you're running firefox on windows, hit ctrl+j to bring up the download manager. if you're running firefox on ubuntu, hit ctrl+y to bring up the download manager. from the download manager, you should be able to resume your download if you paused it. | 21:13 |
| pihhan | amanulla: yes, you can | 21:13 |
| airtonix | bobertdos, this is the first thing about hardy thats not worked for me | 21:14 |

| asmussen | I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time (Although I have a lot of experience with Red Hat and Fedora distros), and I'm not getting very far. When I'm trying to boot the install CD, I choose the menu option to install, and then it gives me the splash screen with the thing going back and forth for a while, but then it just dumps me to a busybox prompt with a '(initramfs)' prompt. | 21:15 |
| kickenfarmer | skole, check into downloading all the font standard for the windows and for the new hardy | 21:15 |
| TJ13820 | Intuitivenipple: i have 300Mhz enhanced Patch cables all the same all tested and rotated to check them | 21:15 |
| asmussen | There aren't any error messages that I can see, and I'm not sure what to do from here. Does anybody here have any experience with similar symptoms? | 21:15 |
| pihhan | asmussen: are you sure your image is not broken? | 21:16 |
| kickenfarmer | asmussen do you have a dual boot?> | 21:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: have you rotated the ports used by the PCs to see if the same port affects different devices (or the failure follows the device) ? | 21:16 |
| kickenfarmer | windows, erhas | 21:16 |
| TJ13820 | Intuitive nipple: that's what i'm going to check | 21:16 |

| chris4585 | how would I enable firefox to when i click on a apt:// link it installs the package? | 21:16 |
| asmussen | The system currently has a FC 9 installation on it that I am planning on overwriting. And no, I dont know for certain that the cd is good, although I have no particular reason to believe that's the problem. If nobody has any other suggestions, I'll try reburning it. | 21:17 |
| TJ13820 | Intuitivenipple: also, one machine has the new ipconfig update. the one that is misbehaving. | 21:17 |
| pihhan | asmussen: have you tried checking image downloaded? | 21:17 |
| amikrop | Hello. In gedit, I have set 4 spaces to be inserted when I press tab. But when I want to delete these 4 spaces, backspace only deletes ones of them, so I have to press it 4 times. I know that Shift+Tab dedents, but I would really want to find I way to set backspace to erase all 4 spaces at once. Any help, please? :-) | 21:17 |
| kickenfarmer | first try loading and unloading the other OS then if that doesnt work, use infran or other ISO burner | 21:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | asmussen: At the Cd menu there are options you can choose to modify the kernel command line (I *think* I remember it being F6) - remove "quiet splash" from the command-line before continuing and you will see the kernel logging messages that should give you a clue as to what is happening | 21:17 |
| pihhan | asmussen: it has builtin check i believe, it is possible you have downloaded it wrong | 21:18 |
| amanulla | pihhan: i need to use tools to pause and resume back my downloads can i? | 21:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: ipconfig? | 21:18 |
| amanulla | pls prefere 1 for me | 21:18 |
| Nuro | how do i blacklist | 21:18 |
| kickenfarmer | asmussen, its probably a failed boot in the other os | 21:18 |
| asmussen | Yeah, I tried removing quiet splash already, but it didn't really give any helpful hints. I'll try the menu option for checking the CD for defects next. | 21:18 |
| Nuro | commands | 21:18 |
| TJ13820 | intuitivenipple: iproute it hink | 21:18 |
| pihhan | amanulla: are you downloading packages? what downloading are you talking about? | 21:18 |
| TJ13820 | intuitive nipple: the service for IP addresses and DNS, etc. | 21:18 |
| asmussen | Why would it try to do anything with the FC 9 installation already on the hard drives? | 21:18 |
| ortsvorsteher | quit | 21:19 |
| TJ13820 | intuitivenipple: wasn't caused by the update. the other machine is fine after update | 21:19 |

| amanulla | i need to use tools to pause and resume back my downloads pls prefere 1 for me | 21:19 |
| kickenfarmer | I found that in windows xp and vista as well as another linux distro, it would fail to load for one reason or another if i didnt shut down the other cleanly | 21:19 |
| Moderndayzero | which ver. of the flash should i get theres tar.gz .rpm and YUM | 21:19 |
| guntbert | asmussen: you said you didn't check the image prior to burning it? | 21:19 |
| tritium | Moderndayzero: use the ubuntu package from the repos | 21:20 |
| bjsterilite | bobertdos: when i do sudo mount in terminal i dont see anything about flashdrives although i'm not sure | 21:20 |

| tritium | Moderndayzero: no, no. Install flashplugin-nonfree | 21:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: No, the hosts file (or equivilent) in the router - this is a router resolution issue isn't it? | 21:23 |

| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: If the router issues a reserved IP to a server via DHCP lease then the name of the PC will get propagated to the router's name resolution tables, but if the PC has a statically defined IP and doesn't use DHCP then (without dynamic DNS or NetBIOS/winbind stuff) the router won't get the name. | 21:25 |

| tritium | Moderndayzero: READ THE REST OF IT! | 21:27 |
| TJ13820 | intuitive nipple: i got it! samba was the issue | 21:27 |
| kickenfarmer | what are the commands for irc | 21:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: the solution is to set up a DNS zone file in the router for the local LAN, and create A records for the servers, and create a reverse-lookup subnet zone to resolve IP-to-name requests too | 21:27 |
| Scunizi | kickenfarmer: network-manager that's built in typically works, also there's WifiRadar and wicd (or something similar to that) | 21:27 |
| Moderndayzero | yea where do i go to get it jeeze | 21:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | TJ13820: hah! | 21:27 |
| bobertdos | perillux: As a general rule, the first thing you do when compiling source code is to make sure you've installed all the dependencies. The configure script is designed to check dependencies, and tells you which ones are not met. | 21:27 |
| dragonfi | /msg ubottu etiquette | 21:27 |

| Scunizi | Moderndayzero: the flashplugin is in System/Admin/Synaptic package manager.. search there for flash and you'll see several .. | 21:29 |
| Gnea | kickenfarmer: in other words - what's the name of the program that you're using for irc? | 21:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | perillux: That means you need to install some additional libraries (libbzip2) and the supporting header files to be linked against | 21:29 |
| kickenfarmer | konversation | 21:29 |

But there is 1 more concern. before running "./configure" the instructions say to run "./autogen.sh" I run it and I get this output: "bash: ./autogen.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" | 21:36 |

| perillux | snova: and if I already tried running it like that, could it have potentially messed anything up since it gave an error? or is there no harm done? | 21:37 |
| kickenfarmer | hahahah | 21:37 |
| kickenfarmer | crap | 21:37 |

| asmussen | nxmehta: fdisk is a much more basic utility, for just editting the partition table. Parted is a piece of GNU software that does much more, like resizing the filesystems on partitions dynamically if you want to change the size of a partition, for example. | 21:59 |

| Frijolie | you don't need to logout/back in after installing libdvdcss2 right? | 23:08 |

| patrik | Hi, Im setting up a br0 interface in my /etc/network/interfaces to use with my kvm machines. Unfortunetly it adds a default route for all traffic to that subnet. How can I prevent this? | 23:13 |
| Agent_bob | hardcorelinux correct. but you can't su/sudo anyway. whole system is nosuid | 23:13 |

| alecwh | How do I (as painlessly as possible) permanently switch my user account to the root account? | 23:14 |
| hardcorelinux | lost_boy432, what is the error in 'dmesg' after you plug-in the drive? | 23:14 |

| jrib | alecwh: that's a terrible idea. Why do you think you want to do that? | 23:15 |
| alecwh | I just want to be root, it's an ego thing. =P | 23:15 |
| Commie_Cary | izinucs: did you jsut say install windows | 23:15 |
| Agent_bob | alecwh so you want to make windows 95 out of your linux system ? | 23:15 |

| kingbilly | i can't install python-gnome2-extras, i heard this was a problem with libgdl-gnome that would be worked out soon, has anyone had success? | 23:16 |
| alecwh | I know what sudo does, that switches permissions to root TEMPORARILY. I want a permanent switch. I know it's a bad idea, but I still want to do it, will someone help me with it? | 23:16 |

| AnonymousOne | alecwh: sudo -i | 23:17 |
| Agent_bob | alecwh no you dont. but i'll tell you how to enable root login so you can screw your self with it. sudo passwd root # set the password and edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and find the line about root login and enable it. | 23:18 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | I knwo this is unrelated, but i need a p2p that has a good userbase...i tried gtk-gnutella and it was outdated from the repos, right now i'm using frostwire which is ok but it sucks for indie-classical stuff, i need a suggestion for the best p2p app that i can sudo apt-get | 23:18 |
| bobertdos | Agent_bob: If an op were in the channel right now, they'd probably trout slap you for doing what you just did. | 23:18 |
| alecwh | I'm not using my main computer, this is just my laptop. The contents thereof are not important to me, I just want to have root privileges, for "experimentation". Jeez, it's not a huge deal. | 23:19 |
| Agent_bob | bobertdos there are ops here. | 23:19 |
| LjL | alecwh: logging into X as root is a terrible idea, using root for stuff that needs it is a bad idea, "sudo -i" lets you do anything when you need to and that's a so-so-idea, asking about it in here is an idea i won't comment on. | 23:19 |
| alecwh | Agent_bob: read above | 23:19 |
| Agent_bob | alecwh i've said all i'm going to about it. it's your system. | 23:19 |
| alecwh | Guys, I KNOW it's a terrible idea, I don't plan on doing this on a machine that MATTERS. I just want to have fun, you could say. | 23:19 |
| LjL | Agent_bob, yes, there are ops, and honestly i'd rather you didn't explain that, but oh well. | 23:19 |

| solstralen | Just tried to install ubuntu on an acer laptop, but something is giving me trouble. puppylinux and a debian live cd have no trouble configuring X, but ubuntu has some trouble. | 23:20 |
| LjL | alecwh: well, you've been given the - correct - way, i hope what you said now is really true. | 23:20 |
| sjovan | frankie__: so, did everything work out right in the end? | 23:20 |
| mister | hi | 23:21 |
| patrik | solstralen: What graphics card do you have? | 23:21 |
| solstralen | I believe there might be trouble with the fast-user-switch applet, is there a way to disable that using the terminal | 23:21 |
| Bryce | Does anyone have any experience with Remastersys or Reconstructor? | 23:21 |
| LjL | Agent_bob: yes, i can understand that point of view | 23:21 |
| solstralen | @patrik: It's an ATI card (unfortunately) | 23:21 |
| alecwh | It feels like I'm asking for the secret to get into Hogwarts is, but thanks a lot anyway Agent_bob. | 23:21 |
| Bryce | I need to make an Ubuntu Live CD with some certain programs pre-installed. | 23:21 |
| mister | how can i start pppoeconf on ubuntu 8.04?? | 23:22 |
| alecwh | asking what the secret to get into* | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | solstralen, i dont see how that would be affecting configuration of X. Its possible the version of X ubuntu is using - is causing some issues. and the automatic configuration fetures.. You could try the working debian xorg.conf under ubuntu | 23:22 |
| Agent_bob | alecwh heh. happy burial to your pinguin :))) | 23:22 |
| * dr_willis recalls windows having many more 'secrets' then linux. :P | 23:22 | |
| kwyjibo | does gDesklets work? I installed it but nothing happens when i launch it. showing the widget layer just dims the screen. | 23:23 |
| mrkris | anyone know of a fix for the debootstrap `hanging' issue dealing with locales ? | 23:23 |
| gwyo | please help. I tried to plug in my laptop to an external monitor and now my laptop's built-in screen defaults to 800x600! I can't change it either | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | kwyjibo, it adds an icon to the panel/systray thing.. and you then have it load applets I recall | 23:23 |
| bobertdos | dr_willis: Probably true, but you know.........:p | 23:23 |
| patrik | solstralen: So you can actually get into X and running it? If you get a white screen when switching users with the fast switcher I recommend getting the latest updates. I had the same problem a while ago but It some upgrade fixed it. | 23:23 |

| maestrojed | LjL and Agent_bob: I think that is an issue now. I don't think my USB keyboard is working until Ubuntu installs. I tested by booting off the liveCD. When it gets to the GRUB menu for LiveCD I can not change my options (the keyboard is not working). Is there anything I can do besides go buy an old PS/2 keyboard? | 23:23 |
| kwyjibo | dr_willis: I'm not seeing any new icon, though | 23:23 |
| mister | how can i start pppoeconf on ubuntu 8.04?? | 23:24 |
| Agent_bob | maestrojed that is a bios short comming. | 23:24 |
| gwyo | i don't understand why plugging monitors in and out makes ubuntu freak the F out | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | maestrojed, try the 'legacy usb' option in the bios.. I have 2 machines that i MUST use a ps2 keyboard to twidlle with gryb. | 23:24 |
| LjL | maestrojed: oh uhm that's weird, but check your BIOS, maybe there is an option to enable detection of USB keyboards | 23:24 |
| Agent_bob | maestrojed i have seen that a time or two. but it's not common. | 23:24 |
| bobertdos | alecwh: We don't mean to act like we're keeping it a "government secret" or anything, it's just that Ubuntu is kind of a distro intended to protect inexperienced users from themselves, you see. | 23:25 |
| solstralen | @dr_willis: At first I didn't even get the desktop running (blank screen with pointer), but after copying the xorg.conf file from debian, I could get to the desktop from the recovery console. Ubuntu then gave me an warning about the fast-user-switch applet. In regular user mode, I got to the desktop, but the keyboard is unresponsive and the "application" bar at the top hung very quickly. Then the whole system stopped responding. | 23:25 |
| LjL | bobertdos: no *experienced* user would log into X as root. | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | solstralen, sounds like some very weird issues. I imagine the warning was just a quirk and not really part of the problem.. but a sympton of a bigger problem | 23:26 |
| bobertdos | LjL: exactly, which is what we're trying to get through to him :p | 23:26 |
| gwyo | my laptop keeps booting into failsafe mode, why?? | 23:26 |
| maestrojed | HA! I can not check the bios because I can not use the keyboard to tell the bios config to run! | 23:26 |
| patrik | solstralen: try changing the xorg driver to vesa or ati | 23:26 |
| LjL | maestrojed: err, point. | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | maestrojed, now thats different. My 'weird' system.. the usb works In the bios menus/ but just not grub. | 23:27 |
| LjL | maestrojed: well, you can do it anyway | 23:27 |
| solstralen | dr_willis, ok that's peculiar, since both puppylinux and a debian gparted livecd boot up just fine | 23:27 |
| LjL | maestrojed: boot a live cd and change those permissions from there | 23:27 |
| Agent_bob | maestrojed of course. do you have a ps2 keyboard around you can barrow for that purpose ? | 23:27 |
| solstralen | patrik: is the ati driver available by default? | 23:27 |
| maestrojed | LjL: I tried that earlier but it say my local HDs are not mountable :) | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | solstralen, they may be using different X versions. Puppy is not that cutting edge. :) no idea on debian. could be they are using the vga/svga/vesa X drivers also. not the 'ati' ones.. | 23:27 |
| LjL | maestrojed: it's lying | 23:27 |
| Agent_bob | raid ? | 23:28 |
| maestrojed | Agent_bob: I don't but I will try to find one | 23:28 |
| LjL | maestrojed: "sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /media/whatever" really should work from the live cd | 23:28 |
| maestrojed | LjL: oh yeah :) can I ask it to be truthful? Is there a trick | 23:28 |
| alecwh | bobertdos: I know, but if a user wants to experiment, the information shouldn't be in a locker below 400 feet of cement... | 23:28 |
| alecwh | a simple disclaimer should suffice. =P | 23:28 |
| patrik | solstralen: I'm not sure, but I think it is. But it's still experimental for some cards, and you might not get 3D accel | 23:28 |
| Agent_bob | alecwh it wasn't, i gave it to you. | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | I find most infomation on ubuntu/linux is just a google serach away.. but i missed the original part of this discussion alecwh :) | 23:28 |

The DVD is a burned disk that I made via iTunes' library backup. | 23:29 |
| LjL | alecwh: it's not in a locker, it's all over google, we just don't like giving it in *this* channel. it wasn't initially very clear that it was "just to experiment" on a "toy"-machine, either. | 23:29 |
| bobertdos | alecwh: ubottu has plenty of those, we just were nice enough to not throw them at you | 23:29 |

| dr_willis | sg1cat, ive copied dvd's that way.. for the future you should rember to give a bs=1024 or similer option.. it will make the dd operation MUCH (like 2x) faster. | 23:30 |

| Canaris_ | gwyo, just go into synaptic and look for the right xorg-server module and then have it reinstall | 23:38 |
| maestrojed | is there a GUI for /network/interfaces ? | 23:38 |
| bobertdos | sacabonos: Flash generally doesn't get along very well with compiz, and I'm kinda guessing that's the issue here. You may want to disable Visual Effects and see if that helps. | 23:39 |
| Canaris_ | quagmire, happens a lot but doesn't really do any harm. google should have some more info i think | 23:39 |
| Agent_bob | ubottu is hosed. | 23:39 |
| LjL | maestrojed: well, i guess there are several, but network-manager is what you're supposed to use in Ubuntu, although 1) i don't think it actually changes /etc/network/interfaces, just changes the settings on the fly 2) i hate it | 23:39 |
| ubottu | 'find' function is disabled | 23:39 |

| maestrojed | LjL: ok I will stick to editing the file. I was just curious. Trying to update those settings is how all my troubles started :) (i.e. could not sudo to edit the file) | 23:40 |
| sg1cat | patrik: Look in /etc/networking/interfaces | 23:40 |
| jrib | seero: you may use packages.ubuntu.com, but you will have to satisfy dependencies manually. You can also use the option in synaptic to generate a download script (after choosing to install pppoeconf there) | 23:40 |
| Canaris_ | quagmire, hmm i dunno then. have u tried googling the error code? | 23:40 |
| teimoury | no one to answer me? | 23:40 |

| sg1cat | patrik: you've probably got a gateway for the offending interface | 23:42 |

| patrik | sg1cat: I just read the manpage for it and could find anything usefull. | 23:42 |
| bobertdos | sacabonos: Okay, what version of flash? | 23:42 |
| Canaris_ | gwyo, xserver-xorg-video-***** . there are several. just pick the right one. If u dont know check your computer's specs on the manufacturers website | 23:42 |
| newbiejack | joelp: turn of the printer, unplug it and let it be for a few minutes and try again. | 23:42 |
| patrik | sg1cat: Yes I have a gateway set for it. Should I remove it? | 23:42 |
| gwyo | Canaris_ the intel one is installed | 23:42 |

| bobertdos | !wifi > Moderndayzero | 23:46 |
| JoelP | agent_bob, did you ever find that thing on printing. I need to set this one up in the next 5 mins PRONTO | 23:47 |
| Agent_bob | bobertdos ubottu is hosed | 23:47 |
| bobertdos | They JUST reset him. He was working two nano seconds ago! GAH!! | 23:47 |
| teimoury | hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable | 23:47 |
| Agent_bob | JoelP look on ubuntu.com it's in the user documentation section, and the search feature provided should find it. | 23:47 |
| JoelP | ... | 23:48 |
| Agent_bob | yeah i know. | 23:48 |
| LjL | no ubottu should work again now | 23:48 |
| sacabonos | bobertdos, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 | 23:48 |
| JoelP | Well this chat isn't very helpful, you know? | 23:48 |
| teimoury | hi does any1 know how to enable a hardware. I got airpace wifi and just installed madwifi. but the KWifimanager said that it's disable | 23:48 |
| newbiejack | joelp: that works many times but may not be the solution for you (referring to my previous suggestion) esp if you its not some driver/printer miscommunication | 23:48 |
| JoelP | newbiejack, it hasn't printed on a linux machine yet. Just on XP. I have the PPD installed. | 23:49 |
| LjL | JoelP: to me, it looks like all was going well and you were receiving proper support, before you'd start expecting it in N minutes like anyone were being paid to give it... | 23:49 |
| Agent_bob | JoelP we do tend to rely heavly on the bot to keep up with where that stuff is. | 23:49 |
| LjL | !pinter | this is the printer thing JoelP, should work now | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pinter | 23:49 |
| sacabonos | bobertdos, please consider that this is only happening with youtube | 23:49 |
| LjL | well, should work if i type it right | 23:49 |
| LjL | !printer | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 23:49 |
| Agent_bob | yea! ubottu is back | 23:50 |
| JoelP | Support doesn't tell where to go, it helps you out. It guides you. | 23:50 |
| JoelP | I've never called someone and been told to go somewhere else. | 23:50 |
| bobertdos | sacabonos: ONLY Youtube, eh? Hm.......... | 23:50 |
| kebomix | is there is power manager for laptops where u can control performance of laptop battery like windows ? | 23:50 |
| LjL | JoelP, well, no, only when the documentation doesn't have the ready answers. | 23:50 |
| === zewm is now known as zewm_ | ||
| Agent_bob | JoelP no. support gives you information you can use to get what you want out of what you have. | 23:50 |
| hardcorelinux | kebomix, you mean set the processor to a lower speed when on battery? | 23:51 |
| sacabonos | bobertdos, ya isn't it weird! | 23:51 |
| Agent_bob | JoelP and for what you are paying for support here, you got a bargen. | 23:51 |
| apin | apinsaja | 23:52 |
| sacabonos | bobertdos, the Flash version is 9.0 r124 | 23:52 |
| kebomix | hardcorelinux: yeah my laptop heat is high , and i want to put it down , it is 93 C degree , so , how can i customize my laptop performance even on battery or AC Power | 23:52 |
| mefisto__ | 93 ° C ???? turn it off | 23:53 |
| bobertdos | sacabonos: Yup, up, gotcha........I'm a bit stumped though. | 23:53 |
| hardcorelinux | kebomix, that is too high a temperature, are you booting off with 'idle=poll'? | 23:53 |
| Agent_bob | kebomix err it's been a while sense i saw gnome... but isnt there that "power management" app in the system menu ? | 23:53 |
| kebomix | what is 'idle=poll' ? | 23:53 |
| JoelP | Agent_bob, I get better support from something like AT&T and it's free support.. :\ | 23:53 |
| ^paradox^ | im just reposting my problem with printer sharing | 23:54 |
| hardcorelinux | kebomix, never mind, what is the make model? | 23:54 |
| JoelP | Don't give me that haha | 23:54 |
| sacabonos | bobertdos, I tried googling first but I couldn't find a thing, I have an ATI X1950 btw | 23:54 |
| ^paradox^ | im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04. | 23:54 |
| kebomix | the gnome power manager dont show much details ! , | 23:54 |
| Agent_bob | JoelP ok. i'll ignore you then. and someone else can "support you" ;/ | 23:54 |
| kebomix | my laptop is thinkpad r52 | 23:54 |
| ^paradox^ | ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the printer physically tries to print them, but to no effect. | 23:54 |
| bobertdos | sacabonos: With that new of a card, I assume you're using proprietary drivers, yes? | 23:55 |
| guest | hello how do i change the bottom toolbar | 23:55 |
| JoelP | learn2ubuntu before you try to support. :\ | 23:55 |
| mefisto__ | JoelP: maybe you could try AT&T free support? I'm sure they will help you | 23:55 |
| ^paradox^ | ive ran printing troubleshooter and opened the cups error log both of which ive put in this pastebin http://rafb.net/p/r113tc58.html | 23:55 |
| kebomix | hardcorelinux: the fan speed became low when i used ubuntu , it was high on windows | 23:55 |
| shafire | how is umbrella term for drama, thriller, comedy from movies? | 23:55 |
| ^paradox^ | i posted it on the forums too. just waiting now | 23:55 |
| zimbres | Canaris_, no idea? | 23:55 |
| bazhang | !ot > shafire | 23:55 |
| ubottu | shafire, please see my private message | 23:55 |
| sacabonos | bobertdos, ya I tried installing the driver from AMD website then I uninstalled it and tried envyNG | 23:56 |
| gwyo | Canaris_ I installed the xserver intel one, what do I do now? | 23:56 |
| hardcorelinux | kebomix, I found this app called 'ubuntu-tweak' it should have what you are looking for(set the cpu governor for BATT/AC), but you have fundamental heat problem, you should address that | 23:56 |
| guest | anyone know how to change the bottom taskbar | 23:56 |
| bobertdos | sacabonos: Huh.........well the last thing I can think of is maybe libflashsupport is causing you grief. Maybe flash 10 would actually HELP you. | 23:57 |
| ^paradox^ | if anyone can help id really appreciate it. i dont know what else to with the printer | 23:57 |
| lost_boy432 | I can't find my external hdd in fstab or mtab. I can't mount it. help please? | 23:58 |
| Canaris_ | gwyo, reboot | 23:58 |
| gwyo | Canaris_ ok, thanks | 23:58 |
| Agent_bob | ^paradox^ have you used the web interface to cups to see if it would help with that ? http://localhost:631 | 23:58 |
| m_newton | OMG | 23:58 |
